　　[应试指导]　词性转换及用法

　　1作实义动词，表示“敢，敢于；激某人做某事，谅某人没胆量做某事”，有人称、数和时态的变化，可用于各类句型肯定句、否定句、疑问句及各类从句等，其后多接带to的不定式，有时to也可省去。

　　dare＋to do sth.敢于做……

　　dare＋n./pron.谅某人没胆量做某事；敢于承担……，不惧怕……

　　dare＋n./pron.＋to do sth.激某人做某事，谅某人无胆量做……

　　B.may；dare not do

　　C.can；dare to do

　　D.needn’t；dare do

　　答案　D

　　解析　句意为：——你不用阻止我。——即使你敢游过这条河，我也不允许你那样做。needn’t 没必要；第二个空dare为情态动词，意为“敢，敢于”。

　　(2)The little child

　　go out alone at night，so he

　　walk in the dark that night.

　　A.daren’t；didn’t dare to

　　B.doesn’t dare；dare not to

　　D.doesn’t dare to；dare not to

　　答案　A

　　解析　dare用作情态动词时，后接动词原形，主要用于疑问句、否定句和条件句中；当dare用作实义动词时，有人称和数以及时态的变化。根据时间状语that night可以判断本题表述过去的事情，所以正确答案是A。

　　Ⅱ.阅读理解

　　A

　　Reading is a great way to improve your English.You’ll learn new words，revise previously­taught structures and absorb thousands of useful expressions and phrases...without any effort.By reading，you are receiving valuable language input.And this is how you learn！Remember，language learning is a combination of input ＋ practice.As you’re reading，you’re taking in language naturally，and you’re seeing how it all fits together.This is crucial to your learning.

　　The great thing about reading is that learning takes place subconsciously.There are no exercises to do，no grammar rules to learn，no tasks to complete...It’s all natural.The language flows in through your eyes，and gets registered(记录) in your brain.What could be easier?

　　The key to effective reading is to read things that you want to read.There are millions of books，magazines and websites out there.You couldn’t possibly read them all.So，the important thing is to find things that you like reading.Then，you’ll be motivated to read.And then the reading won’t be difficult.It’ll be easy！And then you’ll learn.It’s simple.

　　Remember：read what you want to read，what you like reading，or what motivates and inspires you.But where can you start？Well，you could read a book that you’ve already read in your own language.Simply find a translated version of a book that you have read and enjoyed.This will make processing the content in the target language much easier as you’ll already know what the book is about！You could also read the news.This is great as you can read the news in your own language first，then in English.You’ll see that it won’t be too difficult as you’ll be familiar with the topics and stories.Magazines are also great.Find one that covers a topic you’re interested in: business，clothing，guns，horses，houses，housekeeping，stocks and shares，sports，computers，electronics，designing，cooking...You name it，and they’ll have it.If not，look for information on the Internet.There are also websites for every topic under the sun！Why not join a forum？They’re a great source of English input as the language is often written in a simple，spoken style.Go to Google Groups，which has discussion groups based on common interests.Just type in the topic that interests you and join the chat.

　　Finally，how you read is also important.The best thing is to read without using a dictionary.Let the words flow over you.Just skip the parts you don’t understand.If you make your reading feel too much like work，it’ll stop being fun.Of course，you could make a note of any new words and phrases that you like or see repeated frequently，but try not to break your concentration too much.Also，set yourself mini­objectives.For example，if you’re reading a novel，read 20 pages a day.Very soon，you’ll have been exposed to thousands of useful phrases and words.Have fun reading！You’ll learn so much!
