以上三个基本步骤可以用三个字来概括，即：定，问，提。例如：This is a book.

①This is what. ②Is this what ③What is this ?

注意：句①②只是一种变化过程，不必写入试题中。句③才是试题所要求的形式和结果，必须写到试题上。以上三个步骤是对句子划线部分提问最基本的过程。

(1). 如果句子的划线部分是主语，只找出相应的特殊疑问词，用来代替划线部分即可。如：

1)He teaches us English. Who teaches us English?

2)My mothers clothes are over there. Whose clothes are over there?

①They wolf is going to do what. ②Is the wolf going to do what?

③What is the wolf going to do?

(3). 如果句子的划线部分是定语，并且在谓语部分，这时，需将特殊疑问词和紧跟其后的名词一起提到句首。如：

1)That is his pen.

①That is whose pen. ②Is that whose pen ③Whose pen is that?

对定语划线部分提问题，如果划线部分是所属关系，特殊疑问词用whose;如果划线部分指具体的"某一个"时特殊疑问词用which;如果划线部分指内容或职业时，特殊疑问词用what;如果划线部分指数量时，特殊疑问词用how many(可数)或how much(不可数)。如：

1) They are the legs of the desk.

①They are whose legs. ②Are they whose legs? ③Whose legs are they?

2)I like red one.

①You like which one. ②Do you like which one? ③Which one do you like?

Home is the warmest place in the world and a sweet home makes every family

member feel happy and comfortable. So, how to make a home sweet?

First, respecting and understanding each other is the key to make a home

sweet, especially living in a big family. Everyone in the family has his or her

own opinion and has different way to deal with the matters, and it is impossible

to make family members see eye to eye with each other. Therefore, when we are

meeting different opinions, we need to give our respect and understanding to

each other.

Second, communication is another important factor to make a sweet home.

Communicating with family members is a good for us to know each other and

strengthen the relationship. Thus, no matter where we are, keeping in contact

with each other is definitely important.

Finally, humor can add more sweet to our home. Humor is a good way to

adjust the atmosphere in a family and close the relationship between family

members. Hence, if there is going to have a quarrel between family members, try

to use your humor to solve it in advance.

In a word, to make a home sweet needs the effort of every family

member.

Dear Mr. Wang,

I am pleased to invite you to a luncheon, to be held by the Monterey Institute of International Studies on October 12, 2006 at noon, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the death of General Stilwell and in honor of his daughter, Mrs. Nancy Stilwell Easterbrook. Mrs. Easterbrook was a member of the Board of Trustees of the Monterey Institute and founder of the Stilwell Scholarship, which is dedicated to supporting students from China.

For many years until she passed away, Nancy had served as a goodwill ambassador of the American people who made unremitting efforts to promote exchanges between the United States and China. The Stilwell Scholarship she founded helps support deserving students from China who have come to the Monterey Institute to pursue professional degrees in translation and interpretation, international policy studies, language teaching and business management.

I hope you will be able to join us. Mr. Chuanyun Boo, Dean of the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, will be calling you soon to discuss this event further.

Yours sincerely,

Tom Burton

The Dragon Boat Festival, also called Double FifthFestival, is celebrated

on May 5th on lunarcalendar.It is a folk festival widely spread with ahistory of

over 2,000 years, and is one of the mostimportant Chinese festivals as well.

There are variouscelebrating activities on that day, among which the customs of

eating rice dumplings anddragon boat racing are quite important.There are many

legends on the origin of the DragonBoat Festival.Some people think it is to

commemorate the poet Qu Yuan, while others say it isto be in honour of Wu Zi_u,

a famous general during the Warring States period. However, thelegend of Qu Yuan

spreads most widely. People appreciate highly the noble sentiment andprominent

talent of this patriotic poet and are very sympathetic with the ending that

hecommitted suicide by drowning himself in a river.

端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)，又称重五节，于每年农历五月初五庆祝。

这是广泛流传2000多年的民间节日，也是中国最重要的节日之一。端午节当天举行各种庆祝活动，吃粽子和赛龙舟(dragon boat

racing)是其中的重要习俗。关于端午节的起源，有很多传说。一部分人认为端午节是为了纪念诗人屈原，另一部分人则认为是为了纪念战国时期的著名将领伍子胥。然而，屈原的传说流传最广。人们非常欣赏这位爱国诗人的高尚情操和出众才华，更对他投江自尽的结局深表同情。

Then, the representative of the bedroom Zhu Guozhang asked us to guess a line of a poem related to the above situation. He added that Li Xinmin alone was born in the year of the dog and the other three were all born in the year of the chicken.

They left us all in confusion. And it was our monitor who was quickwitted. He shouted our, "The day breaks as the cock crows three times at dawn." The hall After that, they had another item. This time Li Xinmin was placed in the middle of the circle. While he was standing there, the other three stood around him, each bowing down to him at an angle of 120 degrees. It was an idiom. This time I got it right:"The dog stands out among a group of chickens."

My winter holiday is intersting, my winterholiday is very interesting.I can play a computer and watch aTV in the home.I still read some good books in the winter holiday.Because of the plan of value result of our school, let us time of few lesson remaining.Also opportunity to have no does the affair that likes to do.So, the winterholiday liked too to me.

But again schooled begins quickly, its be over means a kind of another life of beginning, my in the mind have a little longing , also have a little fear.Imagining to what freshman live is more.long for enjoyment,long for liberty.

The four seasons accompany us and make our lives interesting.Summer is when everyone has fun under the warm sun,autumn is the time of harvesting,and winter’s white snowflakes decorate the bare earth and trees.But it is spring’s vitality that fascinates me the most.

I remember when I was a small child,my favorite season was winter.But one thing made me change my mind.

I loved playing in the garden and climbing trees when I was small.But I realized one autumn day that golden leaves had started to fall from my favorite tree,and by winter its branches were already bare.I thought that it had died,and would never turn green again.

When my father knew why I was crying,he told me:“The tree hasn’t left you.It’s just resting.I promise in three months,that tree will be prettier than ever.” I believed what my father said and waited for three months.

Sure enough,when the time came,the tree was greener and taller than ever.Sprouts started to stretch their heads out of the melting snow,and creeks and streams started to run again freely.

From then on,spring has become my favorite time of the year because its vitality brings me happiness.

一年有四个季节。我最喜欢的季节是夏天。因为夏季即将来临。我可以改变这个漂亮的裙子,我可以去游泳。我非常喜欢游泳池。在夏天,一切都是光明的。我可以去很多地方,我喜欢。在暑假,我还可以花我的假期和我的父母和我们可以去故宫。多么有趣!

四季陪我们,使我们的生活有趣。夏天是当每个人都有有趣的温暖的阳光下,秋天是收获的时候,冬天的白色雪花装饰裸土和树木。但这是春天的活力,最让我着迷。

我记得当我还是个小孩,我最喜欢的季节是冬天。但有一件事使我改变了主意。

我喜欢在花园里玩,爬树的时候小。但我意识到秋天的一天,金色的树叶已经开始从我最喜欢的树,和冬天的树枝已经光秃秃的。我以为它已经死了,不会再变绿了。

当我父亲知道我为什么哭,他告诉我:“这棵树就没离开过你。只是休息。我保证在三个月内,那棵树将会比以前更漂亮了。“我相信我的父亲说,等待三个月。

果然,的时候,这棵树是绿色的,比以往任何时候都高。豆芽开始伸展头上的雪融化,自由和小溪,小溪又开始运行。

从那以后,每年的春天已经成为我最喜欢的时候,因为它的生命力给我带来了快乐。

I am planning to spend my summer holiday on sports this year. Playing basketball is always my favourite, so some of my classmates and I will form a small team and play basketball together. Sometimes we may have a match against some other teams and I do enjoy the sense when we win the game.

I wish I could have two long holidays in a year, what about you?

我打算今年暑假花在运动。打篮球是总是我的最爱,所以我的一些同学和我将组建一个小团队,并且在一起打篮球。有时我们可能会匹配其他球队,我享受这种感觉当我们赢得这场比赛。

如果你问我我最喜欢的暑假将会是什么样子,旅游风靡唯一的答案。我希望有一天我能满足不同的人,参观不同的地方。

当我们生病卧床不起时，是父母在无微不至地照顾着我们;当我们考试考差了，是父母的鼓励着我们;当我们犯了错误，是父母的教育着我们改正错误......

When we are ill be completely bedridden, parents care in every possible way to us; when we poor exams, parents encourage us; when we make a mistake, parents teach us to correct our mistakes......

感谢父母在我受到挫折时，鼓励我、安慰我、给我勇气，让我树立自信勇敢地去面对困难。记得一次数学测验，我只考了八十多分。我垂头丧气地回到家，作业也做不好，饭吃不香。妈妈看见我的反常，坐在我的身边和蔼地问我原因。我一五一十把考试的实情告诉了妈妈，令我没想到的是妈妈不但没有批评我，反而安慰我说：“好孩子，一次失败不等于自己就不优秀了，你要好好地分析原因，知道错误到哪里，这就是进步。”听了妈妈的话，我的心情一下子轻松多了。

Thank the parents in my frustration, encourage me, comfort me, give me courage, let me brave to face the difficulties to establish confidence. I remember a math test, I only got more than 80%. I become dejected and despondent home, homework is not done well, eat not sweet. My mother saw me freak, sit beside me kindly ask me why. I had to tell the truth to the examination of the mother, so I did not expect is the mother not only did not criticize me, but comfort me to say: "good boy, a failure does not mean that he is not good, you have to analyze the reasons, know where this is progress." After listening to my mother, my mood suddenly relaxed.

有一句话说得好“谁言寸草心，报得三春晖”。因此，为了报答辛苦养育我的父母，我现在一定要好好学习，长大后，找一个好的工作，让父母安享晚年。父母为我付出的，我将十倍、百倍的感谢、回报他们，让他们的付出有价值。

There is a saying that goes "who grass inch heart, reported in the apartments". Therefore, in order to hard rearing repay my parents, I must now learn, grow up, find a good job, let parents live. My parents gave me, I will be ten times, a hundred times thanks, return them, let them give valuable.
