在英語(yǔ)中，need有多種詞性，可作動(dòng)詞，也可作名詞。而need作動(dòng)詞使用時(shí)，既可作實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，也可作情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，其主要意思是“需要；有必要，必須”。

一、實(shí)義動(dòng)詞need的用法

當(dāng)need作為實(shí)義動(dòng)詞使用時(shí)，意思是“需要”，有時(shí)態(tài)、人稱和數(shù)的變化。need后面的賓語(yǔ)可以是名詞、動(dòng)名詞、動(dòng)詞的不定式或代詞。在這種情況下，need既可用于肯定句，也可用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句，構(gòu)成否定句或疑問(wèn)句時(shí)要借助助動(dòng)詞do、does或did。

People in disaster areas needed the food aid urgently.

災(zāi)區(qū)人民迫切需要食物援助。（后接名詞）

This shirt needs washing （= to be washed）.

這件襯衣該洗了。（后接動(dòng)名詞）

He needs to win this game to stay in the match.

他得贏下這場(chǎng)比賽以免被淘汰出局。（后接帶to的不定式）

It’s here if you need it.

你要的話就拿去吧。（后接代詞）

注意：

當(dāng)表示物的名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，need后跟動(dòng)名詞作賓語(yǔ)，以主動(dòng)形式來(lái)表示被動(dòng)含義，此時(shí)可替換為動(dòng)詞不定式的被動(dòng)形式to be done，即：need doing = need to be done。

Those flowers need watering.

= Those flowers need to be watered.

二、情態(tài)動(dòng)詞need的用法

當(dāng)need作為情態(tài)動(dòng)詞使用時(shí)，意思是“有必要”或“必須”，其本身沒(méi)有時(shí)態(tài)、人稱或數(shù)的變化，只后接動(dòng)詞原形，主要用于否定句、疑問(wèn)句及表示疑問(wèn)的名詞性從句中，一般不用于肯定句。

（1） 用于否定句時(shí)，只需在need后加not：

You needn’t finish that work today.

你不必今天做完這項(xiàng)工作。

（2） 用于一般疑問(wèn)句時(shí)，只需把need提到主語(yǔ)之前：

Need I do it all at once？

我需要立刻做這一切嗎？

（3） 用于由if或whether引導(dǎo)的名詞性從句：

I wonder if / whether I need bring my mosquito-net.

不知我需不需要帶蚊帳。

注意：

① need在一般疑問(wèn)句中，肯定回答用must，否定回答用needn’t。

Need she stay here？ 她有必要留在這里嗎？

— Yes， she must. 是的，必須留在這里。

— No， she needn’t. 不，沒(méi)有必要。

② need有時(shí)用于含有only，all等表限制意義的肯定句中。

If she wants anything， she need only ask.

她想要什么東西，只要開(kāi)一下口就行了。

All you need bring are sheets.

你需要帶的就是幾張紙。

I need hardly tell you that the work is dangerous.

這工作很危險(xiǎn)，這就不用我說(shuō)了。

③ have no need to， don’t have to， haven’t got to， be not bound to等都可以表示“不需要”。

I needn’t （= have no need to / don’t have to / haven’t got to / am not bound to） talk with him.

我不需要跟他談。

三、比較didn’t need to do和needn’t have done

（1） 在詞性上，didn’t need to do中的need是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞，didn’t need to do是實(shí)義動(dòng)詞need的過(guò)去否定式；而needn’t have done中的need是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞，needn’t have done是情態(tài)動(dòng)詞need的完成否定式。

（2） 在意義上，didn’t need to do表示“過(guò)去沒(méi)有必要做某事”，是指過(guò)去某個(gè)時(shí)候的真實(shí)情況，做了與否并不清楚；needn’t have done表示“過(guò)去本來(lái)不必做某事而實(shí)際上卻已經(jīng)做了”，含有責(zé)備或遺憾之意。

Mary didn’t need to go to school yesterday， so she went picnicking with her friends.

瑪麗昨天沒(méi)必要去學(xué)校，她就與朋友野餐去了。

You needn’t have watered the flowers， for it is going to rain soon.

你沒(méi)必要澆花的，因?yàn)轳R上就要下雨了。

語(yǔ)法拓展：

1） in （great） need of 急需

2. 情態(tài)動(dòng)詞 + have done的用法

Jim cannot have forgotten it.

吉姆不可能把它給忘記了。

（2） could + have done，表示“可能已經(jīng)……”，用于推測(cè)，可用于否定句和疑問(wèn)句；還可表示“本來(lái)可以……（實(shí)際卻沒(méi)有）”，對(duì)過(guò)去的虛擬推測(cè)。

You could have done better， but you didn’t try your best.

你本來(lái)可以做得更好的，但你沒(méi)有盡你最大的努力。

（3） may / might + have done，表示“也許 / 或許已經(jīng)……”，是對(duì)過(guò)去已發(fā)生的行為的推測(cè)；還可表示“本來(lái)可能……”，但實(shí)際上沒(méi)有發(fā)生的事，有時(shí)含有輕微的責(zé)備語(yǔ)氣。

He may not have finished the work.

他可能還沒(méi)完成那項(xiàng)工作。

If we had taken the other road， we might have arrived earlier.

如果我們走另外那條路，我們可能會(huì)更早到達(dá)。

（5） should / ought to + have done，用于肯定句時(shí)，表示“本該做某事”，而實(shí)際上未做；用于否定句時(shí)，則表示“不該做的事反而做了”。

You should have started earlier， but you didn’t.

你本應(yīng)該早點(diǎn)開(kāi)始的，但你卻沒(méi)有。

Ⅳ. 閱讀理解

In most languages， a greeting is usually followed by “small talk”. Small talk means the little things we talk about at the start of a conversation. In English-speaking countries people often make small talk about the weather， “Nice day， isn’t it？” “Terrible weather， isn’t it？” But there is something special about small talk. It must be about something which both people have the same opinion about. The purpose of small talk is to let both people agree on something. This makes meeting people easier and more comfortable. People usually agree about the weather， so it is a safe topic for small talk. But people often disagree about religion or politics so these are not suitable topics for small talk in English. The topics for small talk also depend on where the conversation is taking place. At football matches， people make small talk about the game they are watching， “Great game， isn’t it？” At bus stops， people may comment on the transport system， “The bus service is terrible， isn’t it？”

Greetings and small talk are important parts of conversation in any language. The way people greet each other and the things they talk about， however， may be different from one language to another. This shows that there is much more to learn when we learn a language than just the vocabulary and grammar of the language. We also have to learn the social behavior of the people who speak it.

1. Why do people need small talk？

A. To choose a topic for a conversation.

B. To let meeting people become easier and more comfortable.

C. To agree about the weather.

D. To learn a language.

2. The favorite topic of small talk for English people is ___ .

A. weatherB. politics

C. gamesD. languages

3. When we say “Great game， isn’t it？”， we in fact ___ .

A. ask a questionB. have a conversation

C. greet each otherD. begin small talk

4. The passage suggests that when we learn a language ___ .

A. we should learn about the transport system of the country

B. we should only master the grammar and vocabulary

C. we should know the culture of the country

D. we should master the importance of the language

5. What we learn from the passage is that ___ .

A. different languages have different grammar

B. small talk is an important part of a language

C. small talk depends on the purpose of the conversation

D. in English-speaking countries we should talk about the weather

There are about 1，200 species of bats in the world， Swartz says. Some eat fruit. Others eat insects or honey. And just a few drink blood.

Some bats use their eyes to see where things are. Others collect information about their surroundings by bouncing sound off objects and listening to the echoes （回聲）.

But what all bats have in common （other than being the only flying mammals in existence） are flexible （靈活的） wings that enable them to change directions quickly. If you’ve ever seen bats flying with a rush through the air in the early evening， you probably noticed how suddenly they could change directions.

Scientists have long assumed （設(shè)想） that bats fly the same way as birds and insects do—with firm， airplane-like wings that connect to the shoulder. The problem with that assumption， however， is that bats aren’t birds or insects. As mammals， they have more in common with people， horses and dogs than with other flying creatures.

For example， birds have bones which are empty inside， and insects have no bones at all. But most mammals have solid and heavy bones， which would make flying tough.

To solve this problem， bats have evolved strong and heavy bones near their shoulders， where they need more support. They’ve also saved some weight by developing lighter and weaker bones near the tips of their wings. The result is light but strong and very flexible wings.

1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？

A. All bats can hear sounds with their ears.

B. Bats are the same as birds in every direction.

C. Bats have nothing in common with people.

D. All bats can fly well because of their flexible wings.

2. It can be inferred from the passage that ___ .

A. it is the environment that helps bats develop the ability of flying

B. some bats may be dangerous to people

C. the scientists’ assumption is proved to be right

D. bats collect information only by listening to echoes

3. What’s the best title of the passage？

A. Flexible WingsB. Bats’ Food

C. BatsD. How Bats Fly

In Western Europe homelessness has quietly been climbing to levels not seen since the end of World War II. According to the European Federation of National Organizations Working with the Homeless （FEANTSA）， at least 3 million Western Europeans are homeless this winter—and between one-fifth and one-third of them are members of homeless families. Think homelessness is an American problem？ Think again. As a percentage of population， it’s as bad in Europe as it is in the US， where there are an estimation （估計(jì)） of 2 million homeless people.

One of the fastest-growing parts of Europe’s homeless population is families. After all， Europe sees itself as kinder， gentler and more socially responsible than the US， with an extensive， expensive social safety net that’s designed to protect the most helpless sections of the populace （平民）. But that might just be the point： it’s easier to be homeless in Europe， where even the down-and-out get social-welfare checks.

What’s even more scary is that 3 million is almost certainly an underestimate： most European countries simply don’t know where to look or how to count the homeless. Government data are confusing and unreliable （不可靠的）. Austria and Spain have no official statistics at all. Germany， France， Italy and the UK have what are best described as estimates， many of them regarded by organizations that work with the homeless. INSEE， France’s national statistics agency， admits that its official count of 86，500 is only based on the number of adults that went at least once to a soup kitchen or an accommodation service. FEANTSA estimates that the real number of French homeless is closer to 200，000， but many aid organizations claim that even this figure is too low. The British government claims there are just 596 rough sleepers across the country， but those who work in London’s shelters say there are more than 1，000 in the capital alone.

4. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

A. There are about 3 million homeless families in Western Europe at present.

B. Homelessness percentage in Western Europe is larger than that in the US.

C. Western Europe homelessness has got to the highest point in the past 60 years.

D. Homelessness is no longer an American problem but a Western European one.

5. What can be the cause of more and more European families becoming homeless？

A. Europe has become much poorer than the US.

B. Europe shows too much pity on poor people.

C. Europe has a larger population than the US.

D. Europe is too proud of its social safety net.

6. It can be inferred from the passage that ___ .

A. it’s easy to find out how many people are homeless in western countries

B. there are no homelessness problems in countries like Austria and Spain

C. there are more homeless people in France than in other European countries

D. not all the data that are collected by the European governments are reliable

7. How does the author feel about the situation in Europe？

A. Interested.B. Cheerful.

C. Easy.D. Worried.

Once Chinese couples have married， they no longer choose to live with parents at home. Some 60 to 70 percent of couples no longer live with parents， and in a research for this series， no young Chinese said they would live at home if they could afford not to. “No way，” says Jun Yaolin， who got married two years ago. “We will fight.” One counter-trend （反趨勢(shì)） is to live a “bowl of soup” distance away； that is， move out but live within a few blocks. This clearly supports another new trend—full-time care of children by grandparents.

The success of the one-child policy， combined with the ability of couples to buy their own houses， is creating its own “empty nest” condition. This means that older people are starting to experience an often terrible new loneliness. China is still a country which respects elders. Yet a public service advertisement on Chinese TV shows an elderly lady cooking all day. As she sets the table for dinner， the phone calls come one by one： “I can’t make it. Can I come tomorrow？” The advertisement ends with a lonely figure sitting at a table of food and the words， “Don’t forget your parents.”

“The traditional family has changed，” says Dong Zhiying， a scholar at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in Beijing. “It used to be considered that kids would take care of parents. Now it no longer is. In the past， older people in the family were dominant （占支配地位的）. Young people had no choice but to respect them. Parents’ power was based on money and power； if you don’t respect them， you lose favor.”

“Today， the intellectual and market development in China has grown quickly， and changed the family. Young people aren’t respecting elders. They can rely on their own ability—go to university， be independent， and make their own choices.”

The family revolution （變革） is affecting all ages： As more couples choose to live away from parents， the elderly are left alone.

5. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that ___ .

A. young Chinese people would like to have their own places to live in

B. young Chinese people don’t want to live far away because their parents need care

C. there is no way for young Chinese people to live with their parents

D. if the elders live with the young， they can take part-time care of the children

6. The underlined phrase “empty nest” in Paragraph 2 means that ___ .

A. there are some houses that no one wants to live in

B. young people live with their parents so their own houses are empty

C. the house will be empty after the only child gets married

D. older people are experiencing an often terrible new loneliness

7. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？

A. No young Chinese couples want to live with their parents.

B. In the past if kids didn’t respect their elders， they wouldn’t get any support.

C. People used to think that kids shouldn’t look after their parents.

D. Older people in the family are still dominant now in China.

8. According to the passage， why don’t young people respect their elders？

A. Because the elders don’t have any money or power in society.

B. Because the elders are too weak and old to control the young.

C. Because society has developed so fast that it has changed the family.

D. Because young people can live on their own.

9. What does the passage mainly tell us？

A. Chinese young people respect their elders much more than ever before.

B. The one-child policy has achieved a great success in China.

C. The Chinese family has changed in recent years.

D. A revolution in families is taking place around the world.

Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is， we can try to do it ourselves.

How is it done？ Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow these skills， they’ll help you put people at their ease， and make friends with them quickly.

First of all， good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone， no matter how shy he or she is， will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says， “At business lunches， I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question， but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.

Second， once good talkers have asked questions， they listen to the answers. This point seems clear， but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out， you really have to listen carefully.

Real listening at least means some things. First it means not changing the subject of a conversation. If someone sticks to one topic， you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words， but to tones （語(yǔ)氣） of voice. If the voice sounds dull， then， it’s time for you to change the subject.

Finally， good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying goodbye， you may give him a firm handshake and say， “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again， don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel， and after that they may feel as if they’ve known you half their life.

1. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ___ .

A. to begin your business talks

B. to make more and more new friends

C. to get a conversation going smoothly

D. to make a deep and lasting impression on other people

2. According to the passage， after having asked somebody a question， it will be polite of you to ___ .

A. find out what kind of person he is

B. wait quietly and patiently for his answer

C. listen to his reply attentively

D. go on asking him more questions

3. Generally speaking， good talkers are persons who ___ .

A. are good at making any topic interesting

B. never talk too much or too little

C. always speak in a gentle way

D. know how and when they should change the topic of the talks

4. If you really take delight in meeting someone again， ___ .

A. it seems necessary for you to let him know it

B. you may take him as your lifelong trustworthy friend

C. it’s proper for you to give him a second handshake

D. it will be helpful for you to have further understanding of him

A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo， 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2012. On Christmas Eve， 2002， Anthony had a heart transplant （移植） surgery from a 21-year-old donor （捐贈(zèng)者）. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2012， Alfred received a 19-year-old heart， marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.

“I’m 15 minutes older than him， but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him，” Alfred said with a smile， pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters， who laughed frequently at their jokes.

While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition， they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good， so I guess I deserved （應(yīng)受） what I got for not dieting properly.”

The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant， he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles， swam each day， and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication， but not nearly as much as Alfred， who was just in the early stage of his recovery.

“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well.” Anthony said， “I feel like a new person.”

Alfred said his goal， of course， was to feel even better than his brother. But， he added， “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”

1. This article is mainly about ___ .

A. the danger of heart transplant surgery

B. becoming young by getting a new heart

C. the effect of genetics on the heart

D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants

2. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common？

A. The length of time of living.

B. Career goals.

C. A sense of humor.

D. Love for bicycling.

3. What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems？

A. Exercise.B. Diet.

C. Surgery.D. Medicine.

4. Why did Alfred say “I’m 15 minutes older than him， but now I’m younger because of my heart”？

A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s.

B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s.

C. His exercise program was better than Anthony’s.

D. His new heart was younger than Anthony’s.

Located in Florence， Oregon is “Sea Lion Caves”， the only known western， coastal， mainland home of Stellar Sea Lions. It is also the world’s largest sea cave in existence today and a perfect place to get up close and personally with nature. The sea caves are said to be the home of about 200 sea lions and that at any given time visitors can expect to see at least 150 sea lions going about their daily business.

The most immense of all sea lions， the Stellar males， are known to grow up to 12 feet in length and weight 1，500 pounds. The females， on the other hand， tend to （往往會(huì)） be a bit smaller and average 9 feet in length with an average weight of 700 pounds.

They tend to breed and give birth during the spring and summer months. The breeding and birthing process takes place on the steep cliff edges that surround the sea cave. Therefore the best time to view this ceremony is during those select months from the outside viewing platform.

In addition to the sea lions， visitors can expect to catch a glimpse of the rare Pigeon Guillemont. These unusual sea birds tend to nest in seaweed along the cliff edges in early April. And even the graceful Gray Whales are expected to be seen. Each year， travelling in pods （成群地）， these sea creatures migrate around “Cape Blance” on their way to and from their native Alaska waters.

As 2013 “Sea Lion Caves” is open daily year round except for both Thanksgiving and Christmas Day， the ticket box office is open from 9：00 am until 5：30 pm. Visitors have a choice of two different ticket choices： platform view or cave view. And entering the cave itself is $13.00 for adults and $8.00 for children aged 3 to 12. Children under the age of 2 are admitted for free and there is a discount （折扣） ticket price available for senior citizens. It now costs $3.50 per person to access the topside wildlife viewing platform. While on the platform visitors can pay an additional fee to use the on-site telescope or bring their own such equipment.

5. What information of the 2013 “Sea Lion Caves” is the last paragraph mainly about？

A. Its admission and hours of operation.

B. Its wildlife and best viewing times.

For many years， women could only be seen on the seat behind the men operating （操作） the two-wheeled motorcycle. Now more and more women are taking the front seat. More than twenty million people in the United States ride motorcycles.

Since 1998 the number of female bikers has risen sharply. Lady Sport Riders began in 1999 in Washington. The women formed the organization to share their love of motorcycle riding. But later it wanted to be more than just an organization for women to get together and ride motorcycles， so it started to organize events that help national health organizations and women’s shelters. It also permits women to share a strong sisterhood， and gives financial prizes to poor students. Like other motorcycle clubs， the members of Lady Sport Riders also help their community.

Different from male riders， female riders ride for more than fun. This sport gives women a sense of freedom and control. Female riders have helped change motorcycle culture. More than five years ago producers began making equipment especially for women. Some bikes now have smaller， softer seats and controls that are easier to reach. Modern clothes for riding now look good and still provide protection. In the past， women rode motorcycles that traveled at a moderate （中等的） speed. Now theirs are as powerful as the ones men ride. Safety is very important when riding because the risk of injury is high. So the women wear protective clothing and equipment at all times， especially for the head.

Lady Sport Riders believes women have earned their place in the sport of motorcycle riding. When speaking of male motorcyclists， the members of the club say， “They Made the Game. We Came to Play！”

Here is a passage about learning a foreign language.

Outside of class， the most natural way of finding out if you are making mistakes is from other people’s responses. If the mistakes are too serious， your listeners will be asking you all the time what you mean. If they are not so serious， then people may be asking you whether you said such and such. That will tell you how close you are to speaking “correctly”.

Of course， there are other times when it is important to have errors （錯(cuò)誤） pointed out. Your class assignments （作業(yè)）are probably marked in this way， in which case you need to spend time going over them to take advantage of the individual feedback. In some classes the teacher gets better and better at grammar because she does all the corrections， but the students make slow progress if， when an assignment is returned， they quickly stuff it into their school bags without looking.

You are the person who should be correcting your errors， even if the marker has signaled them. When you look at them， there are some steps to work through. One distinction that has been made about learners’ language is this. You make mistakes about rules that you already know but you make errors about points you haven’t learned yet. In other words， you can find your own mistakes， but not your errors. First， make sure you understand what you have written or said， or your correction will simply be another stab （嘗試） at the right answer. Next， decide on the best way of practicing the correct form. Would it help you to write out the sentence once more？ Can you make up another similar sentence？ Then you could test yourself in a few days’ time to see whether you have remembered the right form. Anyone can get it right immediately after being told. The challenge is to remember it and apply it later.

4. What can we learn from the passage in learning a foreign language？

A. Making mistakes about rules can always be avoided.

B. Speaking is the only way to correct mistakes.

C. Getting and using responses is important.

D. Errors can be easily corrected.

5. How can you know that you are making fewer mistakes when speaking a foreign language？

A. By following the suggestions the writer put forward.

B. By practicing the correct forms.

C. From the teacher’s getting better and better at grammar.

D. From your listeners’ responses.

6. The writer thinks some students make slow progress because ___ .

A. they understand what they have written or said

B. they have remembered the right form

C. they hardly pay attention to their marked assignments

D. they decide on the best way of practicing the correct form

7. Which of the following might be the most important to work through your mistakes？

A. Keeping the right form in mind and using it later.

B. Writing out the sentence once more.

C. Learning your mistakes by heart.

D. Correcting your mistakes and writing down the teacher’s words.
