Unit 5 Theme parks*阅读理解。Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only ” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a puter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it es to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforegonean opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my pany and I wouldnt be there. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality(可能发生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.1.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule ?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.2.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the panyD. finish her work before the deadline approaching3.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to “_”.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted4.What is the best title for the passage ?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of Mind【文章大意】这篇文章主要讲解的是作者对于最悲哀的两个单词if only 的理解及看法。1.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an if only moment,”可知，“extra minute”指的是“在发生意外之前防患于未然”，D项（在一个东西绊倒某人之前将它拿走）符合。故选D。3.A 【解析】猜测词义题。根据foregone 所在句子“We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforegonean opportunity to say I love you or I forgive you.”中的lost及regretted 可知此词与opportunity 搭配翻译成“放弃机会”，故选A。4.B 【解析】标题判断题。根据第一段第一句话“Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only.”及文章大意，可知本文主要针对最悲哀的两个单词if only 展开话题进行讲解，故选B。*语法填空。 There is a tradition in my school that when the College Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the _1_(low) grades, from Senior 1 to Senior 2, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Senior 3 students who are standing upstairs. It wasnt until I _2_(person) took part in the activity that I understood the real _3_(mean) of it. I was in Senior 2 at the time. _4_that special night, all the Senior 3 students stood in the corridors (走廊) and looked down at the younger students below. _5_(vary) cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You deserve to win！” _6_(see) everyones smiling faces around me, I thought of _7_famous quote from the American philosopher Henry David Thoreau: What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you bee by achieving your goals. Soon it will be my turn to _8_(bless) in this way,_9_also means I will have to say goodbye to my school. Sad as it will be, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest _10_(time) of my life.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己学校为即将参加高考的高三学生加油鼓励的独特传统。作者认为这种祝福方式让他倍受鼓舞，且当时的场景成为他记忆中最为闪亮的时刻之一。1lower考查形容词比较级。此处暗含了对比。对于高三的学生来说，高一和高二的学生就是较低年级的学生，所以要用比较级，故填lower。2personally考查词性转换。设空处修饰动词短语took part in，应用副词，故填personally。3meaning考查词性转换。设空处作understood的宾语，应用名词形式，故填meaning。4On考查介词。此处表述：在那个特殊的晚上。在具体的某一天晚上要用介词on，句首单词注意首字母大写，故填On。5Various考查词性转换。此处应用形容词作定语修饰名词cheers，故填Various “各种各样的”。6Seeing考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用非谓语动词，动词see和其逻辑主语I之间是主动关系，所以要用现在分词作状语，故填Seeing。7a考查冠词。quote是可数名词，意为“引语；引文”，而且此处表示泛指概念，故填不定冠词a。8be blessed考查非谓语动词。此处表述很快就轮到“我”收到这种方式的祝福。It is ones turn to do sth.为固定句型，意为“轮到某人去做某事”，根据句意可知，此句中“我”和bless之间是被动关系，应用不定式的被动形式，故填be blessed。9which考查定语从句的引导词。两个句子中没有连词，该空指代前面一句话的内容，而且在从句中作主语，所以此处应用which引导非限制性定语从句，故填which。10times考查名词的复数。当作“时光；岁月”讲时，time为可数名词；“one ofthe形容词最高级可数名词复数”意为“最的之一”。故填times。*完形填空。阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。I was a shy kid.Nothing seemed harder than talking to people.I didnt even like to answer the phone for fear that Id have to talk to somebody I didnt know._1_ ，at school I had to spend all day in the pany of others.My _2_ was studying.It was something I could do _3_ and by myself.I spent a lot of time studying and was _4_ with good grades.Eventually I went to college.I came to realize that some people were rather fun to _5_ with.Yet my childhood _6_ carried over and I found myself tonguetied and _7_ whenever I found myself in a conversation.One day while on campus，I _8_ an advertisement for a position on the local classical music _9_ station.I had grown up listening to classical music，and I loved it.In order to get the job，applicants needed to be interviewed.I had absolutely no background in radio，and the idea of talking to thousands of listeners _10_ me.I didnt really want the job.I just wanted to prove that I could talk to a(n) _11_.Two weeks _12_ ，I was even more terrified to discover that I had actually landed the job.It was a _13_ job，but I grew to enjoy it.I announced music to thousands of _14_ in the city，sometimes answering their calls and _15_ to their requests.I began to feel fortable talking to these people，these strangers who I couldnt even _16_.Although I now spend much time talking with people，Im still basically a _17_ person.My former shyness is a gift，as I can _18_ people who feel disfort when they talk to strangers.I still enjoy moments of being _19_.But Im also glad I decided to make a _20_ in my life that had opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed.1A.However BThereforeCOtherwise DBesides2A.advice BpracticeCtask Descape3A.obviously BsimplyCquietly Dpoorly4A.filled BrewardedCdecorated Dfaced5A.help out Bcatch upCput up Dhang out6A.happiness BshynessCkindness Dgoodness7A.excited BastonishedCembarrassed Dinterested8A.noticed BpostedCrealized Dbelieved9A.fire BgasCTV Dradio10A.terrified BpleasedCsatisfied Damazed11A.child BsingerCinterviewer Dapplicant12A.ago BlaterCbefore Dsince13A.wellpaid BpuzzlingCfortable Dchallenging14A.listeners BfollowersCviewers Ddancers15A.referring BrespondingCoffering Dparing16A.feel BmoveChear Dsee17A.busy BwarmCquiet Dsmart18A.look into Brelate toCbine with Dworry with19A.alone BaliveCactive Dawake20A.plan BmistakeCchange Ddream【解题导语】该文主要讲述了害羞的作者通过应聘电台工作而实现自我突破的故事。1A根据上下文可知，此处表示逻辑上的转折关系。然而，作者在学校里不得不和同学们相处。2D根据上文的“I was a shy kid”可推知，害羞的作者在学校用学习来逃避与人交流。3C与语境“by myself”呼应可推知，作者一个人安安静静地做功课。4B与语境“with good grades”呼应可推知，作者在学习上的付出得到了丰厚的回报，成绩突出。5D由“Eventually”的提示可推知，作者最终意识到了和朋友相处是有趣的。hang out“常去某处”。6B根据上文的“I was a shy kid”并结合“I found myself tonguetied”可推知，作者童年时代的害羞个性还存在。7C根据“I found myself tonguetied”可推知，和他人交流时沟通不顺畅是令人尴尬的。8A根据语境可知，作者在校园里注意到了一则让他感兴趣的广告。9D根据下文的“I had absolutely no background in radio”可推知，这是一则电台的招募广告。10A根据“I had absolutely no background in radio”并结合下文的“I didnt really want the job”可推知，作者因自己没有广播方面的背景而打退堂鼓，与下文的“I was even more terrified to discover that I had actually landed the job”呼应。11C作者害怕与成千上万的听众交流，只想证明自己能够和面试官交谈。12B根据语境可推知，时间已经过去了两周。13D根据上文可知，这项工作需要与成千上万的听众交流，这对作者来说有一定的挑战性，且与语境“but I grew to enjoy it”形成呼应。14A与上文的“and the idea of talking to thousands of listeners _10_ me”呼应可推知，此处表示作者给听众播放音乐。15B与语境“answering their calls”呼应可推知，作者回应听众的要求。16D根据上文可知，作者应聘的是电台工作，和听众们基本上是不见面的。17C根据“still”的提示并结合上文的“I was a shy kid”可推知，作者尽管现在花费很多时间和人们交流，但是本质上还是一个不多说话的人，与下文的“My former shyness is a gift”呼应。18B结合“My former shyness is a gift”可推知，作者能够理解那些和他相同的人。relate to“理解，认同”。19A根据上文的“My former shyness is a gift”可推知，作者仍旧喜欢独处。20C根据语境可推知，作者通过做电台工作有了重大改变，从而人生有了更多的可能性。*短文改错。Recent years have seen a tendency in China that tour is growing faster. According to a recently survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents traveled regularly. More people will join in the army of travelers in the future.Facing this tendency, we cant help explore some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place，as the further development of reform and opening up, Chinese peoples living standards have been greatly improved, and therefore, most of whom can afford to travel around. Whats more, it is believed that people now take more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a lifestyle. In additions, tourism facilities are being better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, but many scenic spots are available now.答案：Recent years have seen a tendency in China that is growing faster. According to a survey made by some experts, about 47% urban residents regularly. More people will join the army of travelers in the future.Facing this tendency, we cant help some underlying factors that are responsible. In the very first place, the further development of reform and opening up, Chinese peoples living standards have been greatly improved，and therefore, most of can afford to travel around. Whats more, it is believed that people now take more positive attitude to tourism, and regard it as a lifestyle. In ， tourism facilities are being better and better. For example, transportation develops fast, many scenic spots are available now.难项分析：第一处：tourtourism考查名词辨析。根据语境可知，此处指中国的旅游业，应用tourism，而tour一般指一次具体的观光旅游。故将tour改为tourism。第七处：whomthem考查代词。此句中and连接并列分句，因而其后不可以接定语从句；后一分句缺少主语，of后的代词指代上文提到的Chinese people，故将whom改为them作介词of的宾语。第十处：butand考查连词。transportation develops fast与many scenic spots are available之间为并列与递进的关系，而不是转折关系，故用连词and连接。*
