TheThreeGorgesDam

　　滚滚长江，泱泱中华。毛泽东畅游长江时，挥毫留下了浪漫之作《水调歌头？游咏》，为我们描绘了高峡出平湖，神女应无羌，当惊世界殊的壮美图画。而今，葛洲坝上游兴建的三峡工程将成为世界上最大的水力发电站，万吨巨轮可驶抵重庆，三峡景色将更加绚丽多姿。theyangtzeriverishometooneofthemostbeautifulnaturalscenesofchinathethreegorges。butforgenerations，chinesepeoplehavelongdreamedoftamingtheyangtzeriverforpowergenerationandfloodcontrol。theriver’sendlessfloodshavebroughtdestructionanddeathforcenturies1milliondeathsinthe20thcenturyalone。nowadays，alongtheyangtzeriver，thethirdlongestriverintheworld，agreatconstructionproject，TheThreeGorgesDamisinprogress。oncecompleted，itwillbethelargestandmostpowerfulhydroelectricprojectintheworld。towering610feethighandstretching1。3mileswide，thedamwillcreateareservoirthatextendsnearly400milesupstreamthuschangingtheoriginallandscapeofthisregion。theprojecthasbeenunderdiscussioninchinasincetheideaofthedamwasfirstproposedin1919。TheThreeGorgesDamisbothamarvelofengineeringandthegreatestchallengeitsdesignershaveeverfaced。TheThreeGorgesDamhasbeenengineeredtostoreover5trilliongallons（加仑）ofwaterandtowithstandanearthquakeof7。0ontherichterscale（里氏震级）。thereservoirwillallow10，000tonshipstoenterthenation’sinterior，whichcurrentlylimitsaccesstoboatsunder1，500tons。inaddition，thegovernmentsaysthedamwillcontrolterrifyingfloodsandprovideelectricalpowertochina’sgrowingcities。likechina’sgreatwall，itwillbeoneofthefewmanmadestructuresthatcanbeseenfromspace。thechinesegovernmentandthedam’sengineersthinkoftheprojectasasymbolofnationalpride。inearly1999chinesepremierzhurongjiinspectedthedamsite。hetoldtheengineers，theresponsibilityonyourshouldersisheavierthanamountain。anycarelessnessornegligencewillbringdisasterstoourfuturegenerations。sureenough，engineersdoshoulderheavyresponsibility。wehopeinthenearfuturewe’llseeanewwondertheycreateforchina。openquestions：1。whatwillthepeoplebenefitfromTheThreeGorgesDam？2。isthereanynegativeinfluenceofTheThreeGorgesDam？小字典tamev。驯服reservoirn。水库proposev。建议withstandv。抵挡negligencen。疏忽1。限制性定语从句对所修饰的词加以限制，表示的人（或东西），限制性定语从句描述的是主句不可缺少的一部分；非限制性定语从句对所修饰的词没有限制词义的作用，而只是补充说明，通常都有一个逗号把它和句子的其他部分分开，在译成中文时，这个从句常译成一个并列句。如：heistheman（whothatwhom）you’vebeenexpectingtomeet。他就是你一直想见的那个人。thisismrsmith，whomwhoyou’vebeenexpectingtomeet。这位是史密斯先生，你一直想见的那个人。2。在限制性定语从句中，that有时可代替whowhomwhich，作宾语时可省略；在非限制性定语从句中，不能用that引导，关系代词作宾语时也不能省略。如：theperson（thatwhom）ijustreferredtoistom。thereare30chairsinthehall，mostofwhicharenew。3。当先行词是专有名词或由物主代词指示代词修饰时，其后的定语从句通常是非限制性的。如：charlessmith，whowasmyformerteacher，retiredlastyear。myhouse，whichiboughtlastyear，hasgotalovelygarden。thisnovel，whichihavereadthreetimes，isverytouching。4。非限制性定语从句还能将整个主句作为先行词，对其进行修饰，这时从句中的谓语动词要用第三人称单数。如：mysonfailedagainintheexam，whichmademeveryangry。注意：1。关系代词that和关系副词why不能引导非限制性定语从句。2。as或which引导的非限制性定语从句，可以修饰整个主句或主句的一部分。as引导的定语从句还可以放在主句之前，而which引导的非限制性定语从句要放在句末。如：ashasbeenannounced，weshallhaveourfinalexamsnextmonth。weshallhaveourfinalexamsnextmonth，aswhichhasbeenannounced。3。as引导定语从句时，意为正如那样，如：asweknow，smokingisharmfultoone’shealth。正如我们所知，吸烟有害健康。1、〔单词填空〕根据所给单词的首字母或汉语提示完成下列句子。1。agisadeep，narrowpassagewithsteeprockysides。2。thisisamodernhotelandcan1，000guestsatleast。3。hehascancer，sothereislittlehopeofhisfullrecovery。4。therwhichisformedbyTheThreeGorgesDamismorethan500kilometreslong。5。mychildren，pleaserthesnowfromyourshoesbeforecomingin。6。whenthefloodstruck，thewallwas（淹没）byfloodwaterquickly。7。thepeoplewhobelieveinbuddhismarecalled（佛教徒）。8。hegavehisfather’s（历史的）paperstothepubliclibraryaccordingtohisfather’swill。9。therearesomanyancientcultural（遗迹）inourcountry。10。theboywhoisinfluencedbyhisfatherisstudying（工程学）atcollege。1。gorge2。accommodate3。terminal4。reservoir5。remove6。submerged7。buddhists8。historical9。relics10。engineering【短语1】oneafteranother【点拨】oneafteranother在课文中意为（三个以上）一个接一个地。onebyoneoneafteranotheroneaftertheother。如：wevisitedhisofficeoneafteranother。onebyonepeoplefellill。【拓展】inbyonesandtwosinbytwosandthrees意为三三两两地。如：afterschool，thestudentswalkedinonesandtwos，chattingandlaughing。【短语2】haveaneffecton【点拨】haveaneffectonaffect，意为对有影响，effect前可用nosomegoodbadlittle等修饰。如：smokinghasabadeffectonourhealth。【拓展】1。bringcarryput。。。intotoeffect意为实行。如：thenewlydesignedsystemwillsoonbeputintoeffect。2。ineffect意为生效。如：someoldlawsarestillineffectinthisregion。【短语3】lookthrough【点拨】lookthrough在课文中意为浏览。如：helookedthroughafewmagazinesintheevening。【拓展】lookthrough还有检查，仔细查看的意思。如：lookthroughthisarticleforme，andtellmewhatyouthinkofit。【短语4】bringanendto【点拨】bringanendtosthbringsthtoanend，在课文中意为结束，终止。如：thebattlefinallybroughtanendtothewar。thebattlefinallybroughtthewartoanend。【拓展】1。putanendto意为使中止。如：theamericangovernmentisdeterminedtoputanendtoterrorism。2。cometoanend意为结束。如：atlastthemeetingcametoanend。【短语5】cometrue【点拨】cometrue在课文中意为（梦想等）变成现实，不能用于被动语态。如：mydreamfinallycametrue。【拓展】realize也有梦想等）实现的意思，但要用被动语态。如：mydreamwasfinallyrealized。1、〔完成句子〕请根据汉语提示完成下列句子。1。孩子应该尊敬父母，这是中华民族的传统。childrenshouldtheirparents，whichisachinesetradition。2。在北京，新的地铁正在建设之中。newsubwaysarestillinbeijing。3。他遇上了暴风雪，困在一个小木屋里。heasnowstormandhadtostayinasmallwoodenhouse。4。父母的行为对孩子有很大的影响。parents’behaviourtheirchildren。5。带着自信的笑容，他们一个接一个地走进了考场。withconfidentsmilesontheirfaces，t
