　　For her list，at the site www.alicepyne.blogspot.com，she has included making everyone sign up to be a bone marrow donor(骨髓捐贈者)，swimming with sharks，meeting boy band Take That and getting a purple iPad computer.

　　Messages of support and offers of help quickly flooded her webpage and it became one of the most talked about subjects on Twitter.

　　“Oh，dear and I thought that I was just doing a little blog for a few friends！” she wrote after her site attracted huge attention.“Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me.”

　　Pyne，who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston，revealed(透露) the management of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.A group of local lawmakers have also joined forces with the Anthony blood cancer charity to encourage people to join its stem cell register.

　　Ⅱ.微寫作

　　寫作素材

　　1．今天早上，當我走在街上時，發現兩個人很迷茫地看地圖。

　　2．我走上前去了解了情況并給予了幫助。

　　3．我心中有一種滿足感。

　　(素材來源于2024·北京·情景作文)

　　提示：盡量使用高級表達：狀語從句；復合賓語；賓語從句等。

　　連句成篇(將以上句子連成一篇50詞左右的英語短文)

　　This morning when I was walking in the street，I found two men reading a map，looking puzzled.I went up to ask what was the matter and offered them a help.I felt a kind of satisfaction.

　　1．leisurely adj.從容的；不忙的　leisure n．消遣；空閑　at leisure有空的

　　2．consist v．組成　consistent adj.一致的　consist in在于　consist of由……組成　consist with和……一致

　　3．have fun過得愉快　make fun of取笑；捉弄　What fun it is！真有趣啊！　for fun開玩笑地

　　4．A cancer-stricken British teenage said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.

　　句中動詞said后跟一個賓語從句she had been moved...，she wanted to do...為省去關系詞that的定語從句，before dying可改為before_she_died。

　　如何分析閱讀中的長難句

　　分析長難句的核心思想就是“提取主干”。再復雜的句子也是由一個個部分組成的，其中重要的是句子的主干，一般包括主語、謂語和賓語，因為它們是文章在傳遞信息時的主要載體，而其他成分，不論有多長多復雜，都不過是起輔助作用的成分罷了。語法分析可以按照下列步驟來操作：

　　1．首先把長難句分解成若干個簡單句。

　　2．找出連詞和關鍵詞，確定句與句之間的關系，分清主句和從句。像B篇第一段也是一句話，A cancer-stricken British teenage said Thursday she had been moved by messages of support from around the world after writing an online “Bucket List” of things she wanted to do before dying.我們分析一下該句的結構：a cancer-stricken British teenage是句子的主語，謂語動詞是said，后面為賓語從句，在該從句中包含一個省去關系代詞的定語從句she wanted to do before dying修飾先行詞things。這樣一分析，句子結構就清楚了，翻譯起來也就容易的多。

　　3．分析主句與從句的成分，識別謂語動詞，判斷謂語動詞的時態語態和語氣，接著看該句是否有倒裝、省略、插入成分、獨立成分、同位成分等。

　　4．分析主句與從句、從句與從句之間的關系。同時，考慮上下文、文化背景，從總體上把握句子的字面含義以及字里行間的深層意思。
