上海高中英语课本阅读
上海近两年教抄改以后，很多学校都开始用牛津和新世纪的教材~我一年前我们学校还是使用牛津教材的，不过后来进去的新高一已经转用新世纪的了，而且以前的英语老师跟我说，貌似很多学校都转用新世纪了~~
上海对于高考英语的要求还是很高的，至于额外补习班来说，因人而异吧~只要你花时间去做去听，总是会有效果的，这种补习班也是有好有坏的，如果你的基础不好，建议你去上那种小课，如果你是想提高英语能力的话，倒是可以去看看新概念这套教材，毕竟这是人家教育专家花了多年时间编就的~~
上海的高三毕业生英语还是以应试为主的，建议你多背单词多背词组，语法也要做到基本不错一题，听力可以听听VOA special，还是挺有效的，新概念可以作为学有余力时培养培养语感的~~
差不多就这样了~~~

2015上海英语高考真题阅读理解
(A)
Look to many of history’s cultural symbols, and there you’ll find an ancestor of Frosty, the snowman in the movie Frozen. It appeared on some of the first postcards, starred in some of the earliest silent movies, and was the subject of a couple of the earliest photos, dating all the way back to the 1800s. I discovered even more about one of humanity’s earliest forms of life art ring several years of research around the world.
For example, snowmen were a phenomenon in the Middle Ages, built with great skill and thought. At a time of limited means of expression, snow was like free art supplies dropped from the sky. It was a popular activity for couples to leisurely walk through town to view the temporary works of chilly art. Some were created by famous artists, including a 19-year-old Michelangelo, who in 1494 was appointed by the ruler of Florence, Italy, to build a snowman in his mansion’s courtyard.
The Miracle of 1511 took place ring six freezing weeks called the Winter of Death. The city of Brussels was covered in snowmen—an impressive scene that told stories on every street corner. Some were political in nature, criticizing the church and government. Some were a reflection of people’s imagination. For the people of Brussels, this was a defining moment of artistic freedom. At least until spring arrived, by which time they were dealing with damaging floods.
If you fear the heyday of the snowman has passed, don’t worry: I’ve learned that some explosive snowman history is still being made today. Every year since 1818, the people of Zurich, Switzerland, celebrate the beginning of spring by blowing up a snowman. On the third Monday of April, the holiday Sechselauten is kicked off when a cotton snowman called the Boogg is stuffed with explosive and paraded through town by bakers and other tradesmen who throw bread to the crowds. The parade ends with the Boogg being placed on a 40-foot pile of firewood. After the bells of the Church of St. Peter have rung six times, representing the passing of winter, the pile is lit. When the snowman explodes, winter is considered officially over—the quicker it is burnt down, the longer summer is said to be.
66. According to the passage, why did snowmen become a phenomenon in the Middle Ages?
A. People thought of snow as holy art supplies.
B. People longed to see masterpieces of snow.
C. Building snowmen was a way for people to express themselves.
D. Building snowmen helped people develop their skill and thought.
67. “The heyday of the snowman” (paragraph 4) means the time when___________.
A. snowmen were made mainly by artists
B. snowmen enjoyed great popularity
C. snowmen were politically criticized
D. snowmen caused damaging floods
68. In Zurich, the blowing up of the Boogg symbolizes__________________.
A. the start of the parade
B. the coming of a longer summer
C. the passing of the winter
D. the success of tradesmen
69. What can be concluded about snowmen from the passage?
A. They were appreciated in history
B. They have lost their value
C. They were related to movies
D. They vary in shape and size
参考答案：66. C 67. B 68. C 69. A
(B)
Scary Bunny
The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) is the first full-length feature film made by directors Nick Park and Steve Box with their amazing plasticine (粘土) characters Wallace and Gromit. It won an Oscar in 2006, and if you watch it, you’ll understand why. It’s an absolutely brilliant cartoon comedy.
Cheese-loving inventor Wallace and his brainy dog Gromit have started a company to protect the town’s vegetables from hungry rabbits. However, just before the annual Giant Vegetable Competition, an enormous rabbit begins terrorising the town. It is attacking all the vegetables and destroying everything in its path. The competition organizer, Lady Tottington, hires Wallace and Gromit to catch the monster alive. But they will have to find the were-rabbit before gun-crazy hunter Victor Quartermaine who is desperate to kill it.
The screenplay is witty and full of amusing visual jokes. As usual, the voice of Peter Sallis is absolutely perfect for the role of Wallace, and Gromit is so beautifully brought to life, he can express a huge range of emotions without saying a word. And both Helena Bonham-Carter, who plays the part of Lady Tottington, and Ralph Fiennes as Victor are really funny.
To sum up, The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is an amazing film which is suitable for both children and alts. If you liked Wallace and Gromit’s previous adventures and you appreciate the British sense of humour, you’ll love this film. Don’t miss it!
70. In the film review, what is paragraph A mainly about?
A. The introction to the leading roles B. The writer’s opinion of acting
C. The writer’s comments on the story D. The background information
71. According to the film review, “the monster” (paragraph B) refers to ______.

A. It’s full of wit and humour.
B. Its characters show feelings without words.

D. It is about the harmony between man and animals.
参考答案：70. D 71. C 72. A
;Ⅲ 高中英语考试·做阅读理解的方法技巧
英语阅读首先就是积累词汇，只有你积累的越多你找关键词的速度就越快，关键词就是先找题目中的你认为较重要的，有些人连文章都不看直接划题目中的关键词，并从文章中找，这是面对较简单词汇量不难不多的文章直接最快速的解决方法，而词汇量难，文章段落多的，阅读文章标题和阅读完整的开头段再阅读每段首位句，便可清晰了解文章大意再结合题目关键词便可较快解决。这是叫简单步骤具体如下：
1
知己知彼：弄清命题理念
要知道做题的秘诀，首先要知道命题人的思想。高考的目的就是分个等级，把大家区别开来，所以在能够区别的地方设置题目“为难”大家。因此命题老师会挖空心思来出题。高考英语阅读选中择题答案就两种：right or wrong。题支命题的构成方式就是“干扰+陷阱”，陷阱就是下面的错误类型。掌握了操作技巧，做阅读理解既迅速又正确。做题技巧归纳起来就是：找出“right answer”，毙掉“wrong answers'。
2
做题四部曲：步骤1-4
做题步骤很重要！英语非常牛的人，先后顺序影响不大，但不要相信你非常牛。可能大家有自己的做题习惯与步骤，但是这里推荐的步骤为：读阅读题题干并勾关键词——读题支并勾关键词——读文章勾出对应的句子——返回问题，选出答案。具体操作见图。步骤很重
要，能够提高做题的正确率和效率。
例如：以2013英语高考全国卷A篇阅读理解为例。第一步：读36题题干“What dose the author say about doctors in general?”——勾出黑体字的关键词”；第二步：读题支“A．They like flying by themselves．B.They are unwilling to take advice． C．They pretend to be good pilots．D．They are quick learners of CRM——勾出这里标记的黑字体关键词，如法炮制完成36-39题；第三步：阅读文章（文章见图片）——勾出文章中与题干、题支像匹配、类似的词语、句子，如“Doctor、don't listen 、CRM”等；第四步：返回到题中，将题支中的句子与文章中对应的句子对比，得出答案。
2
超前判断：
所谓超前判断指的是文章中还没有得出结果，明确得出结论，在题支中就得出了结论/结果，弄错时态，把现在的说成将来的，把过去的说成现在的，把将来完成的说成现在完成的，把可能的说成已经的等不一而足。当然别把它和推理出来的答案搞混了，推理归纳的见后面详解。
例如：2013高考英语上海卷C篇73题问的是“It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that therobotic fly _____”,D答案是“has been put into wide application”，而文中对应的句子为“so that it might someday perform…”。所以遇到超前判断的答案可以：直接判为错误答案！
3.喧宾夺主：
喧宾夺主也就是主次颠倒，没有弄清主次关系。通俗讲，就是在阅读理解中，对于问题中的题支，能够在文中找到相对应的部分或者是句子，但是只有一个是最主要的，其他表述都是次要的，这个主要的就是围绕问题展开叙述的。这种类型的错误常见于：归纳短文意思、给短文选择最适合的标题等类型的问题中。
例如：2013英语上海卷C篇75题，问题是：“Which of the following might be the best title of thepassage?”，题支为：A.Father of Robotic Fly B.Inspiration from Engineering Science C. Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect D. Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study。根据文章每个答案都有提及，看起来都好像是正确的。通过文章，找出原来是围绕Robotic和life来讲的，这就是最主要的主体，因此正确。而A中father、B中Inspiration、D中Breaks Through都只是辅助部分甚至没提到。所以遇到喧宾夺主的答案可以：直接判为错误答案！
4
答非所问：
这个相比大家都懂了，人家问西你答东。题支中的回答和题干不相符。这种问题应该是最简单的，相信不少人火眼晶晶就能够看出来。比较准确地说是就是不相关。由于高考想区别出等级，所以需要难度，这种类型的题就比较少了，最为常见于初中英语题中以及高中平时模拟练习中。
例如：比如2013高考山东卷73题B答案。问题是“For what purpose did Pearson start the advertisingcampaign?”，答案中为“A. To build a good relationship with the public B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow C. To lean about customers; ”B、C答案关键词为unusual tradition、customers，文中并没有围绕这个来说（当然这里这个例子是不够精
确）。所以遇到答非所问的答案可以：直接判为错误答案！
无中生有：
顾名思义，就是文章中没有写，但题支中却出现了。绝大多数情况下，这种题支就是是错误的，因为文章没有提及。这种考题较常见于简单的模拟考试、出题简单的省份。但是有2种情况下是正确的：推理的+归纳的，具体解释见第三部分“正确答案的特征”。
例如：13年全国卷中，A篇阅读理解中，A答案关键词含“like flying”，而文中根本未提到like,就连近义词enjoy/love等都没有；D答案中关键词“quick learners ”，对应的句子中就没有提及quick，就连同义词fast/rapid都没出现，同理C答案也一样。所以遇到这种无中生有的答案可以：直接判为错误答案！
正确答案的特征
1
同义句转换的题支
命题的道理是为了增加题的难度，所以不能直接像小学初中一样给你原文句字，所以必须做个同义句转换。因此同义句一般都是正确的答案。这种类型的题型在高考、四级、六级考试中非常常见，如果你对自己不是很有底气，直接选择这个同义句，根据跟人经验，95%情况下都是正确的！
例如：13年全国卷中，A篇在该阅读理解中“They don't listen because they already know it all”的题支同义句为“They are unwilling to take advice”，所以答案就是这个。因此，同义句转换的题支可以：直接选择为正确答案
Ⅳ 运用篇章理论指导高中英语阅读教学 高中英语阅读理解100篇
阅读能力的高低直接体现一个人综合掌握和运用某一种语言的实际水平和能力，是听、说、写等技能得以提高的根本保证。而判断能否读“懂”文章主要从以下两个层面出发：一是句、词层面上的理解（on sentence level），二是篇章层面上的理解（on discourse level）。篇章教学的目的和贺是要在提高学生语言水平的同时，训练学生获取完整信息的能力和语言的交际能力。在当前的中学英语阅读教学中，一些教师在新课程理念的指导下开始关注篇章信息的获取和处理，但是阅读理解活动大多还停留在句子层面的理解和表层信息的获取上，很少从篇章分析的角度去帮尘虚助学生深入而全面地理解课文。一篇文章是一个有机的整体，句与句、段与段之间有必然联系。只有在对文章表层理解的基础上，把握文章的深层结构和作者的整体思想，并且分析了解作者布局谋篇的特点，才是真正读懂文章。只有这样，学生才能达到阅读理解的较高层次。
一、篇章与篇章教学
Hailliday认为，篇章是社交语义单位，通过小句复合体、词组、短语或词这些词汇――语法单位来实现。胡壮麟认为，篇章是指任何不完全受句子语法约束的、在一定语境下表示完整意义的自然语言。黄国文认为，篇章无论是口头表达还是书面表达，都必须衔接、符合逻辑、语义连贯。
英语阅读教学中的篇章教学法是指从篇章入手，把篇章作为一个整体进行篇章结构分析的教学方法。篇章分析分为宏观分析和微观分析。宏观分析是指分析篇章的体裁结构及其表现特征。关于英语的篇章模式类型，以下是英语中最为常见的四种篇章形式：1．一般特殊型（general-particular pattern）；2．问题解决型（problem-solution pattern）；3．比较匹配型（matching pattern）；4．主张反主张型（claim-counterclaim pattern）。在阅读教学中，除了有必要让学生了解英语篇章的宏观特征之外，更重要的是让他们了解篇章内部的组织特征，这对篇章语义的把握与理解有重要作用。对于中学英语阅读教学而言，篇章的微观分析主要是篇章的“衔接”（cohesion）和“连贯”（coherence）两个方面。
二、篇章的衔接与连贯
1．篇章的衔接
衔接是篇章特征的一个重要内容，它体现在篇章的表层结构上，包括语法手段和词汇手段。语法手段主要包括指称、替代、省略、连接。指称关系（referernce）指使用代词等语法手段来表示语义关系，也就是用代词指代前文提到的人和事，可以分为三类：人称指称、指示指称和比较指称。表示人称指称的词一般为第三人称代词；指示指称是说话人通过指明事物在时间和空间上的远近来确定所指对象，在英语中主要由this，that，here，there，these，those，now，then，such a等来体现；比较指称通过形容词的比较级、一些具有比较意义的词语等表示指称关系。替代（substitution）是指为了避免重复，也是为了连接上下文，用替代形式替换上文所出现的词语。常见的替代词有one，do，so／not和same等。省略（ellipsis）是为了避免重复，突出主要信息，衔接上下文，将重复的词或句子省略。连接（conjunction）表示一种只能通过参照篇章其他部分才能完全理解篇章的关系，即相邻句子（群）之间的连接关系。根据不同的语义关系可以分为四种类型：增补型、转折型、因果型和时间型。连接关系在语法层次上主要由连派棚燃词、连接副词和介词短语体现。增补型词项包括and，further more，in addition，in other words等；转折型词项包括but，however，on the other hand等；原因型词项包括because，so，for this reason，consequently等；时间型词项包括first，then，next，in the end等。
词汇衔接（rexicalcohesion）是指通过篇章词汇的重复、近义、反义、上下义和同现等词汇手段来达到篇章语义的联系。它是衔接中最突出、最重要的形式。它主要体现在词汇的复现关系、同现关系上。总之，衔接是篇章的有形网络。在课堂教学中，教师通过提问、提示与讲解相结合的方式，恰当地分析篇章语法和词汇衔接手段，有助于呈现整体篇章的连贯性，使学生深入理解英语的衔接方式，从而有助于提高阅读能力。
2．篇章的连贯
连贯是篇章特征的另一个重要内容，指的是话语内部各个句子和短语之间在语义上的联系。这种联系来自于逻辑推理和判断。连贯是篇章的无形网络，存在于篇章的深层。与衔接相比，衔接更多的是词汇与语法方面的手段，而连贯则是采用这些手段所得到的结果。总体来讲，连贯是词语和句子在概念与逻辑上合理而恰当地构成一个整体的篇章特征。连贯的篇章时空顺序明晰、逻辑推理层次分明。
三、篇章理论在高中英语阅读教学中的应用
与传统阅读教学不同的是，运用篇章理论的阅读教学是帮助学生了解并掌握篇章衔接的手段，学会分析句子内部、句子之间以及段落之间是如何通过衔接而达到连贯的，培养学生从整体上把握文章内容并围绕中心准确理解细节的能力。一篇英语文章不可能是句子的胡乱组合堆砌，句子与句子之间具有必然的联系，从而形成具有完整意义的段落。因此，正确理解句子的各种联系，有助于理解段落层面的篇章意义，进而把握段落的核心内容。因此，篇章理论用于阅读教学中，对教师提高阅读教学效率，对学生提升阅读理解能力方面将起到不可替代的作用。
下面引用人民教育出版社选修八Unit 2的阅读文章“Cloning：where is leading us”作为例子探讨衔接和连贯理论在高中英语阅读教学中的应用。该文的体裁是科普性的说明文，具体介绍了植物与动物克隆的区别、多莉羊的诞生与死亡以及由此引发的争论。旨在训练学生阅读技能的基础上，帮助学生了解克隆这门生物技术以及有关的争议。
根据衔接理论，以该文的第一、二段为例，主要的衔接形式有。
1．指称和替代
Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay．It is away of making an exact of an other animal or plant．It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones．It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are proced from the same original egg．The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones．
本段用了较多指称，阅读时引导学生根据上下文分析并找出指代内容。掌握了这种技巧，可以更好地理解篇章的意义。这段中的三个it都是指称第一句的主语Cloning，是人称指称。而these指称上文提及的plant cloning和animal cloning，是指示指称。ones替代cuttings from growing plants。
Cloning has two major uses．Firstly，gardeners use it all the time to proce commercial quantities of plants．Secondly，it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals．Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated．It is a difficult task to undertake．Many attempts to clone mammals failed．But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough-the cloning of Dolly the sheep．The procere works like this.
第二段中前两个it指称第一句的主语Cloning。但在阅读教学中仅仅发现这样的衔接链是不够的。应该指出的是当同一个人称代词开始指称不同的指称语时，一定会有一个新的名词或名词短语出现，而这个新名词或名词短语则是相同指称语进行不同语义指称的形式标记。如在第三个it出现前，有一个新动名词短语Cloning animals出现，这时第三个it指称的是距离其最近的cloning animals而并非上文出现的cloning和cloning plants。这就表示后面的it在指称对象上不同于前面的it。this则是指称下文克隆多莉羊的几个步骤。
2．连接
段落中使用了一系列的firstly，secondly；also；at last；while等连接词。这些信息词的使用，起到了承启上下文的作用，分别表示列举、增补、结果、对照的功能。引导学生通过这些信息词很快找到作者的思路，快速解译作者传递的信息。这些语法手段、词汇手段共同起到连句成篇的作用。
3．词汇衔接
在第一、二段中除了有原词复现（cloning），还有反义词的复现。如第二段中straightforward与complicated，straightforward此处意为simple，与complicated构成反义词。
该文除了使用较多的衔接手段之外，还是语义联系紧密、连贯的篇章。如果教师引导学生分析全文的框架结构就不难得到印证。在阅读教学过程中，教师可以让学生先阅读文章标题并预测篇章主题及内容。根据标题是设问句进行以下预测。
1．The passage may talk about the future of cloning．
2．The author may deal with how the scientists succeeded in solving the problem mentioned in the title．
3．In order to arouse readers’attention，the author raised the question to discuss with us readers．
Which prediction is correct?
在已经激发学生阅读欲望的基础上，教师可引导学生重点阅读文章首段和尾段，同时浏览各段落的首句内容，找出篇章话题，概括各段落和文章的主旨大意。要求学生从语篇结构入手，分析句子之间、段落之间的衔接连贯、段落之间的有机联系，再勾勒出课文的基本篇章框架。
Para2：Cloning has two major uses．
Firstly，…．
Secondl，…
过渡句：Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very comnplicated.
the cloning of Dolly the sheep――man-made clones
Para3―Para 5：Arguments of cloning
Para3：On the one hand，…（arguments in the science field）
Para4：On the other hand，…（arguments in the media）
Para5：opinions about evil leaders/religious leaders/different governments
In conclusion：Scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us．
理清了课文的篇章框架，课文主旨学生也就能归纳出来：
The text introces to us plant cloning and animal cloning．It also tells us the cloning of Dolly the sheep and people’s puzzle about the use and the future of cloning．
从上述的篇章结构分析来看，要使篇章连贯，除了衔接关系外，还要考虑句与句、段与段之间意义上的联系。这篇课文第一段首句是引出全篇的主题Cloning；第二句是对全文主题的定义；然后以总分的方式阐述了植物克隆现象和动物克隆现象，并且把这两类现象都归类为自然克隆。第二段首句是段落主题句，介绍了克隆有两种主要的用途；接着用过渡句引入人类克隆动物（与第一段的自然克隆相对应）的困难；然后用but话锋一转，尽管困难但是人类已取得重大突破――克隆羊多莉的诞生，接着再介绍克隆的步骤。最后三段着重论述克隆这门生物技术在科学界、大众间引发的各种争议。全文语义衔接紧密、思路清晰、十分连贯。
从上述的篇章结构分析还可以看出，在文中运用的指称和替代，一些表示列举、增补、结果、对照等连接词的衔接及过渡句的使用都是篇章得以连贯的重要手段。在阅读教学中，教师应当特别引导学生对这些词句给予重视。因为对于许多学生而言，他们在阅读时更多地关注生词和长句，其实正是这些看似简单易懂的词才是构建有机篇章的重要手段，尤其是在剥离了文章的其他成分之后，这些篇章的有机成分才会显露出来。
四、结语
随着教育理论及应用语言学的发展，语言教学已不再是纯知识性的教与学。传统的过分注重词汇和句子层面的教学、忽视语篇语义的课文教学的弊端日益凸显。在这种阅读教学中，学生只能机械接收，阅读理解只停留在句子层面上，只抓局部忽略整体从而失去了篇章的整体结构意义。篇章分析的衔接连贯理论是很好地服务于阅读教学的理论。篇章分析理论指导下的英语阅读教学有助于学生构建篇章的整体映像，把注意力集中在通过文字符号获取重要信息上，符合信息时代对于阅读能力的要求，也符合中学英语阅读教学的本质。如果将篇章理论知识运用于阅读教学，势必能启发学生的思维、开拓学生的视野，使他们把握语言的动态功能，达到培养和提高学生综合运用英语能力的教学目标。

When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊）?On a trip to a zoo,perhaps?If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago,you would have seen a whole polar bear club.These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water.That day,the air temperature was 3℃,and the water temperature was a little higher.The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island,New York are usually about the age of 60.Members must satisfy two requirements.First,they must get along well with everyone else in the group;this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club.Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Dcotors don't agree about the medical effects of cold-winter swimming.Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops.Other doctors,however,point out that there is more danger of a heart attack ring summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming.They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统）because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm.Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water.A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental.The Polar Bears love to swim all year round;they find it fun and relaxing.As one 70-year-old woman says,"When I go into water,I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."

Swimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life.Little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk.In fact,you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. However,I believe that five is the best age to learn.By five or six,a child knows fear of water,a very important thing to know.It's wise to be afraid,to recognize true danger.Young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous.
To really benefit from swimming,every swimmer should learn,as soon as possible,these four basic strokes;butterfly,backstroke,breastroke,and crawl.I feel that one of these-the breaststroke-is different from the others,since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally,without any training.
In swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow:
1.Never swim alone!No matter how good you are in the water,don't risk drowning by swimming alone.If you swim by yourself,with no life guards or friends with you,you may get into trouble.
2.Don't go beyond your abilities.Most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach,Showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good.
Swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive.
3.Don't smoke.Swimming depends on a healthy body;good lungs are part of it.
4.Work at any activity that builds muscles.

Is there a difference in meaning between"It's too late to make a telephone.Mary is asleep now." and "It's too late to telephone.Mary will be asleep now？"
Yes.The difference is in the reason given for it being too late to telephone.In the first sentence"Mary is asleep now",the speaker is stating a fact.In the second sentence"Mary will be asleep now," the speaker is saying what Mary usually does.In fact,it's possible that Mary isn't asleep,but she is usually asleep at this time.
So let's take two situations.In the first case,imagine Mary's mother answers the telephone.
You:"May I speak to Mary,please?"
Mother:"No.It's too late.Mary is asleep now."
You:" Are you sure?It's only 10 o'clock."
Mother:" Yes.I went to her room and she was asleep."
The mother knows that Mary is asleep because she went into her room and saw her.
Here is another case.Two friends decide to telephone Mary.
Jack:"Let's telephone Mary.It's 10 o'clock."
jill:"No,It's too late.She will be asleep now."
Jill knows that Mary always goes to bed before 10 o'clock ,so now she'll probably be asleep.But it is also possible that she is staying up late.
73.In the first situation,Mary's mother_____.
