通读全文可知，短文是邀请朋友来参加聚会。 首先，通读本段文字，掌握大意。重点把握有空格句子的意思，空格处的意思。 然后，根据记忆用2b短文中的词汇来填空，补全这篇短文。1.party;句意“我们本周六在我们的新房子里举办一次聚会”，可知本空格处为party一词。2.come;这是表示邀请的说话“你能来吗?”3.food;drinks。由空格前serving一词可知句意为“我们从七点半开始提供食物和饮料”。答案解析：5.surprised;由空格前的is及more可知空格处应为一多音节的形容词，推测句意为“一个有更多人的聚会才会更另人惊奇。6.know,if。句意“如果你能来参加聚会，请于周三前让我们知道”。4.bring;空格后为名词“朋友及家人”，可推知，空格处意为“带……来”。Imagineoneofyourfavoriteteachersisleaving.Planapartyforhim/her.Answerthequestionswithapartner.1.Whyishe/sheoneofthefavoriteteacher.__________________________________2.Whatdoyouwanttosaytoher?____________________________________________________________________Becauseshe’sreallygoodwithus.Iwanttosay“Thankyouandgoodbye”toher.2e3.Whenisthebesttimetohavetheparty?____________________________________4.Wherecanyouhavetheparty?_____________________________________5.Whatkindoffoodwilltherebe?_____________________________________6.Whatkindofdrinkswouldyouliketoserve?____________________________________IthinkSaturdayafternoonisthebesttime.Somefruits,cakes,candiesandhamburgers.Wecanhavethepartyintheclassroom.Cola,Spring,teaandwater.7.Whowillcometotheparty?________________________________8.Whatactivitieswilltherebeattheparty?________________________________________________________________9.Howcanyoumakethepartyasurpriseforyourteacher?________________________________________________________________Allthestudentsinourclass.Singing,dancing,playingtheguitar,playingtheviolin,crosstalking…Wearegoingtobringhertothepartywithouttellingher.1.Readthepassageafterclass.2.Writeyourownsentenceswiththephrasesbelow.1.bring…to…2.takeatrip3.thinkof4.withoutdoing…5.sothat6.lookforwardto7.surprised8.hearfrom1.后天_______________________2.前天_______________________4.照看；照顾__________5.去旅行___________________Let’sreviewthephrases.thedayaftertomorrowthedaybeforeyesterdaylookaftertakeatrip6.带……去……________________7.乐意做某事________________8.以便于；以至于_____________9.盼望；期待_________________begladtodosth.sothatbring…to…lookforwardto…Ms.Steenisafunteacher.She’sgoingbacktotheUSsoon.So,allthestudentsarevery____.Toshowhowmuchthey’regoingto____her,Davidwantstohavea___________forhernextFridaythe28th.Heneedssomestudentstohelphim________theparty.Fillintheblankswiththerightwords.sadmisssurprisepreparepartyHeWeireallylikesMs.Steenalotbecauseshehelpedherto________herEnglishsomuch.Shecanhelpbuyfoodand_______.Shecanalsohelpto______Ms.Steentotheparty________tellingher.Jakewouldlovetocometotheparty.Buthe’snot_________,becausehisfamilyis_______atriptoWuhanatthe_____ofthismonthtovisithisauntandimprovebringdrinkswithoutavailabletakingenduncle.However,he’sstillbe_______tohelpoutwithanyoftheparty___________.Allthestudentsarelooking________tothisgreatparty.preparationsgladforwardWhatkindofpartyisit?It’sanopeningofanewhospital.1.openingn.开幕式；落成典礼e.g.Myfatherhastogototheopeningofanewtheatertomorrow.我爸爸明天必须去参加一个剧院的落成典礼。动词open+ing→opening2.concertn.音乐会；演奏会e.g.Igotatickettothepopconcert.我得到了一张流行音乐会的票。e.g.Ican’tsleepinthedaytime.我白天睡不着觉。3.daytimen.白天；日间e.g.Wewouldwritealettertotheheadmaster.我们将写封信给校长。4.headmastern.校长e.g.Theflowershowisayearlyeventinourcity.我们市的花展一年一次。5.eventn.大事；公开活动；比赛项目e.g.Wemustpreparearoomforourguest.我们必须为客人准备一个房间。6.guestn.客人；宾客7.calendarn.日历；日程表e.g.Isthereacalendarhere?这里有日历吗？Readtheinvitationandanswerthequestions.3a1.Whoismakingtheinvitation?_____________________________2.Whatistheinvitationfor?_____________________________3.Whenwilltheeventhappen?_____________________________4.Whatwillhappenafterthis?_____________________________5.Doparentshavetobringanything?_____________________________6.Howshouldpeoplereplytothisinvitation,andwhen?_____________________________首先，浏览一下邀请信，了解邀请信的目的及大意。其次，读后面的问题，明确其意思。然后，带着问题，细读邀请信，在信中找出回答该问题的依据，并作出相应的回答。最后，再通读一遍短文，检查所回答问题的正确性。阅读指导1.LarrySmith;由邀请信的结尾处的署名可知是“LarrySmith,Headmaster”。3.ItwillbeonthemorningofWednesday,January8that9:00.由邀请信的第二句可知。2.It’sfortheopeningofthenewlibraryatNo.9HighSchool.由邀请信的第一句可知。答案解析：4.Theycanenjoytheschoolconcert.由邀请信的第三句可知。5.Yes.Theyshouldbringonebookasagiftforthenewlibrary.由邀请信的倒数第二句话，可知答案。6.TheyshouldreplyinwritingtothisinvitationbyFriday.由邀请信的最后一句可知答案。Writeaninvitationtoapartyoranyotherevent.Replytoyourpartner’sinvitation.Ifyouturndowntheinvitation,giveagoodreason.Includethefollowinginformation
