Unit 5 First Aid一、阅读理解。The English language has an interesting way of classifying words.You might find that a noun acts like an adjective.You know that an adjective modifies(修饰),describing a quality of a noun.For example,you drink a cup of hot tea.The adjective is hot and the noun is tea.What about lemon tea?Lemon is a noun,isnt it?Why is it modifying tea? English often uses nouns as adjectives to modify other nouns.For example,a car that people drive in races is a race car.A car with extra power or speed is a sports car.Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns. Did you notice something unusual about the expressions with the noun car?A car used to race other cars is a race car.Both nouns are singular.A car that has power and speed is a sports car.Why is the first noun,sports,plural?A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914.Cars were a new thing then. There is no rule about whether the attributive noun is singular or plural.Most of the time it is singular.But if the bination of nouns includes a plural noun,it usually stays that way.The result is phrases like ladies room,not lady room,for a room meant for women and girls,and bean soup but not beans soup for a soup made of beans.Some grammar experts think that English speakers are using more plural nouns in this way. When writing these attributive nouns in English,learners sometimes wonder about whether to use an apostrophe(撇号)to show possession.Is it a ladies room?No,it is a ladies room.Attributive nouns do not need the apostrophe.So we write Veterans(老兵)Day in American English and not Veterans Day or Veterans Day.That means the day is in honor of military veterans,not owned by veterans.1.Whats the topic of this text?A.The function of nouns.B.Special kinds of adjective.C.A special use of nouns.D.The use of adjectives.2.Adjectival nouns can be used to describe_.A.adjectivesB.sentencesC.phrasesD.other nouns3.Why is the plural form “sports” is used to describe a noun?A.It is a traditional usage.B.It is a rule of grammar.C.It is a grammar mistake.D.It is a form of stress.4.Which of the following is a correct English expression?A.Ladies room.B.Veterans Day.C.Veterans Day.D.Veterans Day.参考答案: 1.C; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D解析: 1.主旨大意题。本文谈论名词的一种特殊用法:作定语。由第一段得出。2.细节理解题。形容词性名词用来修饰其他名词。由第二段最后一句Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns得出。3.推理判断题。复数名词sports作定语是一种传统用法。由第三段倒数第二句A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914得出。4.细节理解题。Veterans Day“美国退伍军人节”,两个名词之间不是所属关系,不能用撇号。由最后一段得出。二、单句语法填空1It is vital that these forms _ (send) back as early as possible.答案:(should) be sentIt is vital that . “是十分重要的”。其中that从句谓语动词应用“should动词原形”,should可以省略。2_ the aid of our professor, we finished the experiment successfully.答案:Withwith the aid/help of . “在的帮助下”。3Youd better put things back _ place. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find them.答案:inin place “在适当的位置”。4We _ (watch) TV when there was a power failure.答案:were watchingbe doing . when . “正在做这时”,再由“there was .”可知应用过去进行时,故填were watching。5The new technology, if _ (apply) to rice growing, will help increase the grain output.答案:applied从句为状语从句的省略形式。The new technology与apply之间为逻辑上的被动关系,故应填过去分词作状语。6Men and women should _ (treat) equally in education and employment.答案:be treatedtreat和Men and women在逻辑上存在动宾关系,应用被动语态。7His head had struck the wall and _ (bleed)答案:was bleeding此处表示头部正在流血,前一分句用了过去完成时,故此处应用过去进行时,表示过去某时正在持续的状态。8Everyone arrived late at the party for _ (variety) reasons.答案:various修饰名词reasons应用形容词,表示“各种各样的”,故填various。9Television violence _ (poison) the minds of young people.答案:is poisoning表示现阶段正在持续发生的动作,应用现在进行时。10Dozens of people got _ (injury) and many vehicles were set on fire.答案:injuredget injured “受伤”。三、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。When I was young,I thought that kindness was a beneficial thing.I _1_ that I could just give what I thought others _2_ and I would get a one way ticket to Happyville (快乐小镇).
