【优秀满分范文】
The Changes In My Hometown
In the past, my hometown was very small, and people lived a poor life. The houses were old and small. Pollution was very serious, and there was rubbish everywhere. The traffic was not convenient, so few visitors came here.
Now great changes have taken place in my hometown. The environment has become more beautiful. The mountains have turned greener, the rivers are clearer and the sky are bluer. There are trees, flowers and grass everywhere. People live a better life. Their houses are large and bright. Many people have their own cars. Every year , thousands of people from all over the world come to our city.
I’m sure it will get richer and more beautiful in the future. I love my hometown.

句式讲解
1. How long have you had that bike over there?
how long意为“多长时间”，询问某一动作或状态持续了多久，故句中的谓语动词必须是延续性动词或
表示状态的连系动词。例如：
How long do you watch TV? 你看电视多长时间了？
How long can I keep the book? 这本书我可以借多久？
【拓展】how long; how often; how soon的辨析：
how long
表示“多长时间”，主要对时间段提问。例如：
— How long is he staying? 他打算待多久？
— He’s staying for a week. 他打算待一个星期。
how often
表示“多久一次”，主要对频率进行提问。例如：
— How often do you watch TV?你多久看一次电视？
— Twice a week. 一周两次。
how soon
意为“还要多久”，多用在一般将来时中。例如：
— How soon will he be back? 他要多久才回来？
— In an hour. 一小时以后。
2. Because I don’t read it any more.
not…any more意为“不再”。not常位于be动词、情态动词或助动词之后，any more常位于句末，相当于no more。no more常位于句中，放在be动词之后，实义动词之前，两者经常可以互换。例如：
He doesn’t live here any more. = He no more lives here.
他不再住在这里了。
【拓展】
表示“不再”的词还有not…any longer或no longer。二者的区别在于：
(1) not…any more = no more，表示数量或程度上的“不再”增加，通常修饰终止性动词。例如：
The baby isn’t crying any more. = The baby is no more crying.
这个婴儿不再哭了。
(2) no longer = not…any longer表示时间或距离上的“不再”延长，通常修饰延续性的动词。例如：
I can’t stand it any longer. 我对此再也不能忍受下去了。
3. Amy thinks it’s hard to sell her old things.
It is/was adj. to do sth. 意为“做某事是……的”，to do sth.为句子的真正的主语，而it为形式主语，形式主语不能用别的词来代替，句中可在形容词后加for sb.，意为“对于某人来说，做某事是……的”。例如：
It’s important for us to learn a foreign language.
对我们来说，学习一门外语是相当重要的。
It’s necessary for us to eat more fruit and vegetables.
对我们来说，多吃蔬菜和水果是必要的。
【拓展】
这个句型中的for sb.有时也可以用of sb. 二者意义有区别：
(1) 在It’s adj. for sb. to do sth. 中，for sb.意为“对某人来说”，句中的形容词是用来说明to do sth.的，形式主语只能用it。例如：
It’s necessary for the students to do some housework.
对于学生们来说，做些家务是十分必要的。
(2) 在It’s adj. of sb. to do sth. 中of sb. 意为“某人……”，句中形容词可与逻辑主语sb. 构成系表结构，即形容词是用来说明或形容sb.（某人）的。例如：
It’s very kind of you to help us.
你能帮助我们真是太好了。
4. Jim has been inJapanfor three days.
(1) been是be动词的过去分词形式。
(2) have been in 是be in的现在完成时形式，一般与段时间状语连用。例如：
He has been in hospital for two months. 他住院已经有两个月了。
【拓展】have been to; have been in 与have gone to的辨析：
(1) “have/ has been to 地点”表示“去过某地”，现在已经回来了。例如：
I’ve been to Beijing twice. 我已去过北京两次。
(2) “have/has been in 地点”表示“在某地待了一段时间”。例如：
He’s been in this school for two years. 他在这所学校待了两年了。
(3)“ have/has gone to 地点”表示“到某事去了”，现在还没有回来，可能在去的途中，也可能在那里或返回的途中。例如：
— Where’s Wei Hua? 魏华在哪里？
— She has gone to the zoo. 她到动物园去了。
5. But he also thinks some things will never change, and his hometown is still the place that holds all his childhood memories.
这是一个复合句，some things至句末为宾语从句，作thinks的宾语。在该宾语从句中包含由and连接的
两个分句，在第二个分句中，“that holds all his childhood memories”是定语从句，修饰先行词place。关
系代词that在定语从句中作主语。当定语从句的先行词指物时，关系代词可用that或which，当关系代
词在定语从句中作宾语时，关系代词that或which也可省略。例如：
I like clothes that/which are unusual.
我喜欢与众不同的衣服。
Pass me the book(that/which) you bought for me yesterday.
把你昨天给我买的那本书递给我。
