What is the difference between them?
(When the Ss describe the pictures, remind the students to think about the differences in the two pictures. The students may have different opinions. Encourage them to think out reasons as many as possible. They may have a discussion.)
Suggested answers:

The rooms are big.
Every flat has a toilet and bathroom.

The roof is sloping.(why?)
…
Qs In which house would you prefer to live? Why?

The students should tell others their reasons to support their choices. For example, living in the small house makes me feel warm. I like making friends with my neighbors. It looks like a big family. Encourage them to express their ideas freely.
T: Buildings in the different places are different. So what words and phrases do you think will be useful when you want to talk about art and architecture?
Show the students some different kinds of houses , ask them to describe them.
Collect their answers.( appearance: high, low, great, The palaces were large and beautiful, and they often looked like something out of a fairy tale.；materials: brick, stone, steel ,glass, wood…)
T: If you were free to design your own dream house, what would that house look like? What materials would you use? Explain why you made certain choices about your dream house?
Architect: one who designs the construction of buildings or other large structures.
Give the students enough time to discuss the question. Collect their answers.
Step 2 Speaking

3 Practice. Ask them to look at the pictures and choose the item they prefer. Try to explain the reasons.
Two tasks: One is to talk about traditional and classical furniture. And the second task is to choose a picture to decorate their room. T can start a sample dialogue like this:

These buildings are given a second life,They are being reused. Today we are going to read a passage about a second life to an old factory.
Step 3 Fast reading on “ Factory 798 ”
And the same story goes with an old factory called “Factory 798”. Has anybody ever heard of that? If no, let’s open our books and read the passage on Page 23. Try to find out: “What is Factory 798? ”（ an old army factory ; an arts centre;）
Step 4 Careful reading

Q: What was Factory 798 like?
→ huge factory halls of bricks
→ small round windows that remind you of ships
→ bent roofs
→ 20-foot high walls of glass
More questions on the screen to guide the reading:
1. When was Factory 798 built? Who designed it? Who built it?
2. Why is it very different from Chinese architecture?
--- We’ve known that Factory 798 was built in 1950s. As time went by and things developed, what happened to it then?
→ no longer used/ needed

< Show the language points on the screen. >
1. pull down
2. stand
3. with… aid
4. remind … of
5. set aside
Step 6 Retelling
Read the text and try to summarize the text. That is to say, suppose you are a journalist from CCTV 9 and you’ve just paid a visit to the famous Factory 798. Please make a TV program to introduce Factory 798 to our citizens in your own words. I’ll give you three minutes to read through the text by yourselves and get prepared for the retelling.
Step 7 Discussion
In almost every city around the world, there are old buildings which are no longer used, such as schools, hospitals, factories or even churches. What do you think people should do with them? Why?
→To pull down the old buildings and set up new modern ones to keep up with the pace of the society.
→New uses should be given to old special buildings. It’s a great way to save the architecture from the past.
Step 8 Writing.
--- Since we all agree that giving the old special buildings new uses is a great way to save the architecture from the past, now it’s time for you to have a practice and show your ability. Suppose our school is moving to the new campus now and the old campus will be left empty then. You are young painters, artists, musicians, and you can rent some parts of the school building to practice. How do you want to change the school buildings? What new uses can be given to the old school buildings? Please work in groups and make a plan about it.
Step 9 Homework.
1. Finish the program about Factory 798 as a TV reporter.
2. Finish your plan about how to reuse our old school buildings.

[解析] 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本題考查prefer to do sth．rather than do sth．的句型用法.該結(jié)構(gòu)中可以將rather than do sth．提前至句首以予強(qiáng)調(diào)。[答案] C
(2)一Which would you prefer ，tea 0r coffee?
I'm not thirsty．Thanks anyway．
A．better；Neither B．best；Both C．more；None D．不填；Neinler
[解析]prefer的含義為like doing sth else better，釋義中已含有比較級(jí)的意味，因此在實(shí)際運(yùn)用中，不再與比較或最高級(jí)連用；從答語(yǔ)的“不口渴”，可知，無(wú)論是茶還是咖啡，都不想品嘗，因此否定兩者用neither，而用來(lái)否定三者或以上的副詞要用none。[答案] D

(2)He--a design on cloth．。
A．pressed B．impressed C．put D．placed
[解析] 句意表示“把設(shè)計(jì)圖案印制在布上”，而press表示“按，壓”不合題意。C、D兩項(xiàng)只表示“放置”，也不合題意.[答案] B
3． creation J1．創(chuàng)造

A．insist on B．stick to C．stick out D．stick with
[解析] 本題既考查了insist on與同義詞sitck to的區(qū)別，又兼顧了stick out／with的用法。insist on后一般接v一ing形式，表示“堅(jiān)持做某事”，很少直接接名詞或從句。stick out意為“伸出；堅(jiān)持到底(vi)”，stick with意為“和……在一起；扎／刺”，二者均不符合題意。 [答案]B

8．taste的用法
作名詞講時(shí)。有“味道；愛(ài)好；鑒賞力，品味”等意。
作形容詞講時(shí)，有“有吸引力的；經(jīng)精心挑選”的意思。

Tasteless akj.庸俗；沒(méi)味道；不得體
Tasty adj.(tastier，tastiest)美味

(3)The cook______the soup．It_______delicious．
A．tasted；tasted B．is tasted；is tasted
C．tasted；was tasted D．i8 tasted；tastes
[解析] 分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)及用法可知，第一空測(cè)試taste作為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞的用法，含義為“品嘗（某食物）”，是個(gè)及物動(dòng)詞；第二空因?yàn)橛芯湮葱稳菰~delicious ，所以taste此時(shí)“搖身一變”，變成了連系動(dòng)詞，表示“嘗起來(lái)”，后接形容詞作表語(yǔ)，無(wú)被動(dòng)式。
9．convenient adj．方便。便利的

A．you will be convenient B．it wiU be convenient to you
C．you are convenient D．it is convenient to you
[解析] It is+adj.for sb．／sth．to do sth．為固定詞組。類(lèi)似于
convenient用法的還有necessary、national、important、impossible等等，這些形容詞都是用來(lái)說(shuō)明做某些事的特點(diǎn)，因而不可用人作主語(yǔ)，而應(yīng)用于上述句型當(dāng)中。[答案]D
10．復(fù)合形容詞的構(gòu)成
(1)數(shù)詞+名詞，數(shù)詞+名詞-ed或數(shù)詞+名詞+單數(shù)+形容詞

15．句型A is to B what C is to D的用法
這個(gè)句型是用來(lái)打比喻的，用已知來(lái)比喻未知。它的主句是作者要告訴讀者的語(yǔ)義重點(diǎn)(新信息)，而what從句只不過(guò)是讀者已知的內(nèi)容(道理)而已。what在這種句型中是關(guān)系代詞，在語(yǔ)義上相當(dāng)于that which(the thing which)。what從句在主句中起表語(yǔ)(主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ))的作用，what在句中也起表語(yǔ)(主語(yǔ)補(bǔ)語(yǔ))的作用。

A．Serving as；serve B．Serving as；serve as
C．Serving；serve as D．Serving；serve
[解析] 本題要求區(qū)別serve與serve as的用法。前者為“為……服務(wù)”，后者為“作為…’’。從語(yǔ)境可知，第一空符合后者，第二空符合前者。
[答案]A

一I failed in the physics exam again___all the efforts I made．
A．in spite of B．because of C．but for ．a(chǎn)s to (2003年武漢市訓(xùn)練題)
[解析] 答語(yǔ)前半句意為“我的物理考試又失敗了”，后半句意為
“我作了全部努力”，兩句之間存在著讓步關(guān)系，所以填表示該關(guān)系的in spite of，相當(dāng)于despite。而because of所表示的含義與情理不符，but for引導(dǎo)虛擬語(yǔ)氣，也不合題意。As to表示“至于，關(guān)于”，被排除。[答案]A
18．“連接”的兩種表達(dá)

(2)He is made_______monitor of our class．
A．a(chǎn) B．the C．one D．不填
[解析]在"make+賓語(yǔ)+賓補(bǔ)”句型中，如果作賓補(bǔ)的名詞是表示獨(dú)一無(wú)二的職位時(shí)，該名詞前不再加任何冠詞；。否則會(huì)產(chǎn)生誤解與歧義。[答案] D
