选修8 Unit 5（2）
If only it could be just like last year!
要是能跟去年那样有多好呀！
if only用来表达愿望，意为“但愿……，要是……就好了”。
①I had no information about my son.If only I hadn’t_said those tough words to him.还没有我儿子的消息。要是我没对他说那些太严厉的话就好了。
②If only the whole family could be united during the Spring Festival！今年春节全家能团圆就好了！
辨析：if only与only if
(1)if only中谓语动词要用虚拟语气(与现在事实相反用一般过去时，与过去事实相反用过去完成时)。
(2)only if由副词only和从属连词if组合而成，only仅起强调作用，意为“只要；只有”。
③I missed the early bus.If only I had got up earlier.
我错过了早班车，要是我早起床就好了。
④Only if you do as I told you can_you_succeed.
你只有按照我说的去做，你才能成功。

答案： C

第九讲 需要“上下求索”的文章出处题
文章出处题要求考生根据文章所讲述的内容，如广告、科普知识、资讯报导、教育等话题，推测文章节选何处。
(2017·陕西卷)
About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled (注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
In the teacher’s office，an exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”
Was he talking about my wonderful Scola？No，no，it can’t be.What a helpless，lonely moment！I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
My son could not follow the teacher’s directions，he told me， and thus，Scola was disrupting the class.Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
He was angry：“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English？Don’t you speak English at home？”网No，I didn’t speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn’t want him to forget his native language.Well，wrong answer！What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times？“Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars
and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a
part of this society？”
Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of
“those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.
As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a welladjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的)．
Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the “educator” I met in New Jersey.
语篇解读 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过讲述自己的儿子上学前班不会讲英语的经历，表达了多学习一门语言对孩子的终身发展是有好处的观点。
1．The teacher asked the author to his office________.
A．to discuss Scola’s inclass performance
B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
C．to find a language partner for Scola
D．to work out a study plan for Scola
解析： 细节理解题。从文章第一段最后一句“Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.”和第二段中老师问的两个问题“Is your son mentally retarded (弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？可知作者孩子的老师是让作者去讨论孩子在班里的表现。由文章第一段第二句中的“I enrolled”可知作者早就给儿子注册了，故B项不正确；老师没有意识到是作者孩子的语言有问题，所以C项和D项也不正确。
答案： A
2．What does the underlined word “disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Breaking. B．Following.
C．Attending. D．Disturbing.
解析： 词义猜测题。由前面的“My son could not follow the teacher’s directions”可知作者的孩子听不懂老师的指示，因此“干扰”了课堂，所以该词的意思为“disturbing”。
答案： D
3．The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as________.
A．critical B．casual
C．positive
D．passive
解析： 观点态度题。从文章倒数第三段中的“Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of
‘those people.’”和文章倒数第二段中的“And he has benefited from being bilingual (双语的)．”可知作者对双语持“肯定的”态度。
答案： C
4．This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.
A．medicine
B．education
C．geography
D．history
解析： 文章出处题。该文章讲述了在教育中双语教学的益处，因此该文章应该是出自教育类书籍，而不是医药书，也不是地理或者历史方面的书籍。
答案： B
推测文章的来源或者推测读者对象要求读者本身要具备一定的常识，这样文章的内容才能与读者本身已经具备的常识结合起来。比如读者本身要对报纸、杂志、网络、科普、小说、童话、广告、教材、说明书、旅游指南、药品说明、操作指南等有基本的了解，这样才能根据文章的特点对号入座，选出最佳答案。
例如真题示例第4题为文章出处题。该文章讲述了在教育中双语教学的益处，因此该文章应该是出自教育类书籍，而不是医药书，也不是地理或者历史方面的书籍，故B项正确。
