Unit 2 Healthy eating李仕才*阅读理解。The old Chinese saying “as happy as spending the New Year” might be outdated now in the busy modern world. The Spring Festival is regarded as the most important festival for Chinese people and an occasion for all family members to get together, like Christmas in the West. But many traditional customs accompanying the Spring Festival, however, have weakened in practice.Setting off fireworks was once the most typical custom of the Spring Festival. People thought the sputtering(爆裂) sound could help drive away evil spirits. However, the activity has been completely or partially forbidden in big cities for years as the government has taken security, noise and pollution factors into consideration.“In recent years, some cities have begun to allow people to light fireworks during limited hours at the Spring Festival, surrendering to(屈从于) public demand. Respecting folk traditions is a gesture of respect toward public opinion，” said Zhou Xing, a folklore(民俗) researcher.“As people gain more income and it becomes easier to buy daily goods, the New Year holiday is just like any other. After long workdays, many people use the New Year holiday to take a rest, rather than visiting friends and neighbors. The process of making and enjoying the family dinner on Spring Festival Eve is the most important thing. However, many families would like to eat out to save time and energy，” said Li Shunzhi, a resident of Harbin, Heilongjiang.“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside. My family has been preparing for the Spring Festival more than two weeks before the holiday, cleaning the house, buying holiday goods and decorating the house with paper cuttings. On New Years Eve, the whole family stays up to see the New Year in, and in the days to follow, a series of activities such as lion dancing, dragon lantern dancing, lantern festivals and temple fairs will be held. Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us，” said Zhang Hui, from Hebei.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了中国春节的传统习俗在逐渐消失的现象以及人们的不同观点。1Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?ASetting off fireworks has been forbidden in some big cities for years.BNowadays, people can light fireworks in some cities at the Spring Festival.CPeople believe that the sound of fireworks can drive away evil spirits.DIn the past, setting off fireworks couldnt be seen almost anywhere.D解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句可知，过去放鞭炮是过春节最典型的传统习俗，应该到处可见，故选D。2What Li Shunzhi said implies Awhat people do during the festival now is different from the pastBpeople would like to have the family dinner on Spring Festival EveCpeople prefer to visit friends and neighbors rather than take a restDthe New Year holiday is just like any other dayA解析：细节理解题。根据第四段的整体内容可推知，哈尔滨的一位居民所说的这段话是在感慨今昔过年的差异，故选A。3What can we learn from the last paragraph?AZhang Hui often spends two weeks preparing for the Spring Festival.BZhang Hui is used to spending the Spring Festival with his family.CZhang Hui always takes part in a series of activities after the Spring Festival.DZhang Hui lives in the urban area.B解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段的“I enjoy the holidays very much in the countryside.”和“Without the ancient traditions, the holiday is nothing to us”以及本段的整体内容可推知，张辉习惯和家人一起过春节，故选B。4What does the whole passage show?AThe Spring Festival is as lively as before.BThe Spring Festival is outdated now.CThe Spring Festival is losing its qualities.DThe Spring Festival in China is more important than Christmas in the West.C解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的最后一句并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲述了中国春节逐渐失去年味这一现象，故选C。*语法填空。No one loves me more than my parents, especially my father.

I believe my father is a _3_(talent) man. He is decisive and efficient in doing things. By his own talents and years of efforts, he _4_ (provide) his family with a good social position and a _5_(relative) rich life. Besides, he lives in harmony with others and never quarrels with anyone, so people from all walks of life come to my house, from _6_Ive gained lots of social experience. But at home he is a strict parent who is hard on me and has high _7_(expectation) of me. I can see that my idling time away _8_(hurt) him deeply, while if I have done something great and meaningful, such as _9_(write) a book, he will be more excited than me. I always remind myself I must go on and on, and never _10_I give up halfway.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。没有人比“我”的父母，尤其是“我”的父亲，更爱“我”了。他会为“我”虚度光阴而伤心，也会为“我”做了有意义的事而高兴。为了他，“我”总是提醒自己不要半途而废。1with考查介词。此处用“介词with宾语(名语短语)宾补(介词短语)”构成with的复合结构。2to approach考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用不定式和hard一起作宾语补足语。3talented考查词性转换。修饰名词man应用talent的形容词形式talented，作定语。talented “有才能的，有才干的”。4has provided考查动词的时态。分析语境可知，此处应用现在完成时表示父亲多年的努力和辛苦对现在产生的积极影响。5relatively考查词性转换。修饰形容词rich应用副词。6whom考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。先行词是people，指人，关系词在介词后面，作宾语，故填whom。此处表示“我”从来自各行各业的人那里获得丰富的社会经验。7expectations考查名词的数。expectation作“期望”讲时，通常用复数形式；have high expectations of sb.“对某人寄予厚望”。8hurts考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处表示“我”虚度光阴深深地伤害了他。结合上下文时态判断，此处应用一般现在时，动名词的复合结构“my idling time away”作主语，谓语动词用单数，故此空应填hurts。9writing考查非谓语动词。此处在“such as”后面作宾语，故应用动名词。10will考查助动词。此句是否定副词never位于句首的倒装句，故此空应填入助动词或情态动词，结合语境可知，此处表示“我”的决心和承诺，故用助动词will。*完形填空。For me，two of the loveliest words in English are “Life persists”I _1_ them years ago as a college student，sitting in the library，_2_，working on a paper.Out of nowhere，those words came _3_ off the page in a quote(引语)：“In the midst of death life persists，in the midst of _4_ truth persists，in the midst of darkness light persists.”Suddenly I wasnt unhappy and impatient any more.Then I _5_ my granddad.I loved to talk with him.And I was _6_ to hear what hed think of it.He had poor hearing，so I had to _7_ it a few times，but once he _8_ it，he laughed.“All I can say to that is totally _9_，” he said on the phone.I told him how glad I was，after a long winter，to finally see spring and _10_ to find that quote.“Why is that？” he asked.“Well，spring is a sure _11_ that life persists.And it just makes me _12_.”He laughed again，and then _13_ his lovely voice，he recited for me his _14_“spring time” words：“The desert shall rejoice(高兴)，and _15_ as the rose does.even with joy and singing.”Many years later，_16_ my husband and I drove across a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛开的)cactuses，I could _17_ hear my granddad laughing：“The desert shall rejoice.”Life persists，and so do we，in the silence of _18_ and the blooming of cactuses；and in the dead of _19_ and the green of spring.Spring _20_ us that were alive forever.1A.looked for Bhappened onCpicked out Dmade up2A.bored BconcentratedCtired Dconfused3A.running BdancingCrushing Dmoving4A.fear BaccusationCsuspicion Duntruth5A.called BvisitedCconsulted Dinformed6A.patient BconfidentCupset Ddesperate7A.copy BprintCrepeat Drecite8A.got BmadeCundertook Dmanaged9A.puzzlement BscepticismCagreement Ddisapproval10A.practically BespeciallyCobviously Dnaturally11A.way BinspirationCremark Dsign12A.astonished BenergeticCmerry Dalive13A.in BwithCof Dbeyond14A.impressive BsuperbCclassical Dfavorite15A.exist BflowerCsurvive Dsow16A.after BwhenCuntil Dalthough17A.hardly BalwaysCalmost Dmostly18A.journeys BwordsCworld Ddesert19A.winter BspringCsummer Dautumn20A.convinces BassuresCreminds Dstrikes【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述的是作者有感于春天的活力，从偶然读到的一段话联想到生命的意义与坚持。生命长存于漫漫沙漠的植物中，长存于冬去春来的绿意中。冬去春来，生命依然长存，而我们也要继续前行。1B根据语境可知，几年前坐在大学的图书馆里作者偶然遇到这两个单词“Life persists”。happen on“偶然遇到或发现”，符合语境。pick out“挑选，辨别出”；make up“编造”。2A根据下文中的“Suddenly I wasnt unhappy and impatient any more”可知，作者当时在图书馆里的心情是很烦闷的。故选bored“厌倦的，烦闷的”。3B这两个词突然从书页上的引语中跃入作者的眼帘。dancing在此形象生动地描述了这两个词所富含的美好活力以及作者遇到它们的偶然性。4D在死亡中，生命依然坚持；在谎言中，真理依然长存；在黑暗中，光明依然永驻。根据句中的death与life, darkness与light的对应关系可知，此处应填truth的反义词。untruth“虚假，不真实”，符合语境。accusation“控告”；suspicion“怀疑”。5A根据下文中的“on the phone”可知，作者给爷爷打电话。call“(给)打电话”，符合语境。visit“看望，拜访”；consult“咨询”；inform“告知”。6D根据语境及上文中的“I loves to talk with him”可知，作者很想听到爷爷(对这句话)是怎么看的。desperate“极想，渴望”。patient“耐心的”；upset“不安的”。7C根据上文中的“He had poor hearing，so I had to”和下文中的“a few times”可知，爷爷的听觉不灵，所以作者不得不多次重复(repeat)这句话。copy“抄写”；print“打印”；recite“背诵”。8A但是一旦作者的爷爷明白(got it)了，他就笑了起来。make it“获得成功，准时到达”。9C根据上文中的“laughed”和下文中作者的爷爷所背诵的语句与该句话的主题的一致性可知，作者的爷爷对这句话所表达的主题是完全同意的。puzzlement“疑惑”；scepticism “怀疑”；agreement“赞同，同意”；disapproval“反对，不赞成”。10B作者告诉爷爷她在漫长的冬天过后，最终看到春天，特别是偶然发现这句引语，自己是有多高兴。especially“特别，尤其”，符合语境。practically“实际地，差不多”；obviously“明显地”；naturally“自然而然地”。11D春天就是一个可信的迹象，它表明生命是长存的。sign“迹象，征兆”符合语境。inspiration“鼓舞人心的人(或事物)”。12C根据上文中的“I wasnt unhappy”，下文中的“rejoice(高兴)”“joy”及文章的主题可知，这句话使作者感到开心(merry)。astonished“震惊的”；energetic“精力充沛的”。13A作者的爷爷又笑了笑，然后用他那悦耳的嗓音为作者背诵了他最喜欢的语句。in.voice是固定搭配，表示“以的嗓音”。14D参见上题解析。impressive“给人印象深刻的”；superb“极佳的，质量极高的”；classical“经典的”；favorite“最喜欢的”。15B沙漠应该高兴，像玫瑰一样盛开。根据空后的“as the rose does”可知，flower“开花”符合语境。16B多年后，当作者和丈夫驱车穿越一个有很多野花和盛开的仙人掌的沙漠时，她几乎又听到了爷爷笑着说“沙漠应该高兴”。分析句子结构可知，空处在此引导时间状语从句，且在从句中作时间状语，故选when。17C参见上题解析。almost“几乎，差不多”，符合语境。18D根据空后的“the blooming of cactuses.”和上文中的“a desert with many wildflowers and blooming(盛开的)cactuses”及“The desert shall rejoice”可知，生命长存，同样的，我们也要坚持。生命长存于寂静的沙漠(desert)中和盛开的仙人掌里。19Ain the dead of winter“在隆冬，在严冬”。空前的dead形象地表现出了冬季万物萧条的景象，与春季的绿意及万物复苏的景象形成鲜明的对比。20C春天提醒我们，我们永远充满活力。convince“使相信”；assure“使确信”；remind“提醒”；strike“突然想到”。*短文改错。Dear Li Ming，I am writing to ask about if you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, whod better being a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping that at home for some time. With such a pen pal, I hope I can share her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in the common. I believe I would improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours，Li Hua答案：Dear Li Ming，I am writing to ask you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, whod better a girl in her early ， and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. ， it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping at home for some time. With such a pen pal, I hope I can share her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in common. I believe I improve my English by doing so and more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours，Li Hua难项分析：第一处：去掉about或ifwhether考查宾语从句的连接词。由介词about可知，应用whether引导宾语从句，介词后的宾语从句一般不用if引导。也可删去about，由if引导该宾语从句。第五处：BesideBesides考查副词。besides在此处的意思是“此外”，beside是介词，意为“在旁边”，根据语境可知，应把Beside改为Besides。第十处：learninglearn考查情态动词的用法。此处的动词和前面的improve并列，位于情态动词后，共同作宾语从句的谓语，故把learning改为learn。* 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
