【点睛】后接虚拟语气的常见词

Hi, Sharon,
This is Li Xia. I’m writing to tell you that I am willing to do how I can to help you learn Mandarin (普通话). I win the first prize in a nationwide Chinese Speech Contest last term. However, you can depend on it that I will be up to this job.
Besides, it is necessary for you to practice it as much as possibly. Here are two tips for you. Firstly, you, d better to buy or download some listening materials. Secondly, we can make friends with classmates from China and frequent communication is of great important. Though having learned English for many years, I have difficulty in American cultures. I would appreciate if you could give me some advice on how to understand them better. I expect there to being a chance to learn from you.
参考答案：

win改成won  本句中的时间状语是一个过去的时间last term,用一般过去时。
However改成Therefore/Thus  本句和前面一句是承接关系而不是转折关系。
possibly改成possible  在as much as possible中，其实是省略了it is，即as much as it is possible, 这里possible在比较状语从句中是作表语的。
删掉better后面的to  固定短语had better的后面接动词原形，而不是带to的动词不定式。
we改成you  这里是Li Xia对Sharon的建议，因此主语应该是第二人称。
important改成importance  固定短语be of great importance在意思上等同于be very important都是“对……很重要”的意思。
appreciate ^ if to  动词appreciate是“感激，欣赏”的意思，appreciate后面接宾语从句的时候往往要用it作为形式宾语，构成“appreciate it +”从句的结构。
being改成be  动词except to do something的意思是“期望做某事”。

I drove into town and was luck enough to find a parking space outside the bank. I was just starting into the space while another car drove into it. I was very angry. I opened my window and shouted the other driver. He ignored me and walked away. It spent me 20 minutes to find another space. As soon as I had parked the car. I rushed into the bank. I was 10 minutes later for my appointment. I went to the manager office, knocked and walked in. The manager was sitting behind his desk. It was the man who has taken my parking space.

5.shouted ^ - shouted at (或shouted to)    6 spent – took  7√    8later – late    9 manager – manager’s   10 has – had
三、 阅读理解
21.   If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.
    It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write．
  Sometimes, of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ‘remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．
46. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?
A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable
B．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．
C．A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions．
D．Where there are no written records, there is no history．
47. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ___
A．there was nothing worth being written down at that time
B . the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record
C．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire
D．the people there did not know how to write
48. “Remembered history” refers to ___．
A．history based on a person’s imagination
B . stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth
C . songs and dances about the most important events
D . both B and C
49. “Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ____.
A.  it is written down     B .  no written account is available
C．it proves to be time    D．people are interested in it
50. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _____
A．kept a written record of every past event   
B.  not burnt their written records in wars
C．told exact stories of the most important happenings
D．made more songs and dances

22. Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.
Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Awful music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting to go on the stage. When they got their cue(提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did—facing the orchestra(管弦乐队) which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”
Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced an inspection(视察) by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shiny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?
Another army explanation is more closely linked to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. For example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse. 
59. How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?
A. 1.                       B. 2.                     C. 3.               D. 4.
60. What’s the meaning of “to face the music”?
A. To face something far less pleasant.              B. To face the stage.
C. To face the back of one’s horse.                 D. To face one’s leader.
61. The underlined word “hostile” means ________.
A. unfriendly               B. dislike                 C. unkind          D. unnecessary
