Unit 1 Friendship*阅读理解He was there every morning, sitting motionless on the front steps of his house. In the morning light, I could see the shadows that were etched(蚀刻)deep within the lines surrounding his eyes.Each morning I walked this route with my daughter to her kindergarten class. We were new to the neighborhood so that I didnt know many of my neighbors. On one beautiful autumn morning, as we passed his house, my daughter called out to him, “Hi, Mr. Man!” Always the outgoing child, I wasnt surprised at her enthusiasm. But her cheerfulness soon faded when the man didnt look at her and say “Hi” back.As we continued on our walk to school, my daughter asked why the man didnt want to say hi to her. Because I didnt have an answer, I said simply, “Maybe he is having a bad day.” later I knew that Bob lost his wife in a car accident.A few days later, as we approached Bobs house on our way to school, my daughter called out “Hi Mr. Man!” and as usual, he didnt respond. But then she ran onto his front lawn and picked up a beautiful red autumn leaf. She continued up one step and handed it to him. I held my breath.As she skipped back to me, she said, “See you tomorrow, Mr. Man!” This time, he acknowledged her. In a soft gentle voice, he thanked her and said, “See you tomorrow.”From then on, Bob and my daughter exchanged greeting each morning. Our friendship with Bob continued for many years. But, the sweetest day is when Bob attended my daughters high school graduation. Bob gave my daughter a gift-a book on identifying various plants and trees.

Our office wasnt far from Chinatown, _1_ I found some very good Chinese restaurants.That was the first time that I _2_ (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food.When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why _3_ has this special feature.Many years ago, China had _4_ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor management of its forests. This _5_ (lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their _6_ (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There werent any substitutes, so people found ways to economize.In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables _7_ small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked _8_ (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food _9_ (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavorand its this flavor _10_ attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.1_2._3._4._5._6._7._8._9._10._篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲述了中国食物美味的原因。在很多年前，由于中国的木柴缺乏，人们为了节约木柴，就把食物切成小块烹饪，食物很快就熟了，而且保持了鲜美的味道。1where考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子成分可知，设空处所填词引导定语从句，补充说明先行词Chinatown，关系词在非限制性定语从句中作状语，表示地点，故填where。2had noticed考查动词的时态。在“It/This/That be the序数词timethat .”句型中，若前面的be动词是一般过去时，that从句使用过去完成时，故填had noticed。3it考查代词。此处it代指前面的the food，故填it。4an考查冠词。表示“一”的概念时需用不定冠词，因为energy的发音以元音音素开头，故填an。句意：很多年前，中国有一次能源危机。5loss考查词性转换。分析句子成分可知，was是谓语部分，此处应用名词形式作主语，故填loss。6valuable考查词性转换。根据空后的名词wood可知，此处应用形容词修饰名词，故填valuable。7into考查介词。cut . into . 是固定搭配，意为“把切成”，故填into。8faster考查副词的比较级。根据后面的more可知，此处应用fast的比较级，故填faster。9prepared考查非谓语动词。此处是过去分词作后置定语，表被动，修饰名词food，故填prepared。10that考查强调句型。此句去掉its和设空处后，仍是一个完整的句子，所以是强调句型，且被强调部分是this flavor，故填that。*完形填空One day when I was 13，my family was working in the fields to clear away old brush when somehow the electric fence sparked(冒火花)and _1_ a fire.We didnt see the fire _2_ it had blocked the way to the only gate.I _3_ to jump over the fence to safety but the fire was all around us.I could only watch in _4_ as the flames continued to rise.Little did I know that my father had once been

threw water with the buckets.Soon the wind _9_，however，and with the Fire Department too far away to arrive in time，my father began to stamp(踩灭) out the flames as he moved to the _10_，so that my family

of为感到骄傲1D根据该句中的“the electric fence sparked(冒火花)and _1_ a fire”可知，此处表示一场火灾开始了。D项意为“开始，使开始发生”，符合语境。prevent“阻止”；permit“允许”；witness“目击”。2D直到大火堵住了通往唯一的门的路，我们才发现大火。此处考查“not.until.”结构。3A根据语境可知，“我”想(wanted)跳过篱笆，到达安全地带，可是大火包围了我们。manage“设法做成”；promise“许诺”；happen“发生”。4B由上文可知，大火包围了我们，“我”只能惊恐地看着火焰继续上升。in horror“惊恐地”；in anger“生气地”；in excitement“兴奋地”；in embarrassment“尴尬地”。5C根据第二段第一句中的“my father began telling us about his days as a firefighter”可知，父亲曾经是一名消防员。carpenter“木匠，木工”；electrician“电工”；educator“教育工作者”。6A本题考查be armed with的省略结构作状语，意为“用装备或武装”，故选A项。satisfied“满意的，满足的”；shared“共有的”；identified“可辨认的”。7C根据语境可知，父亲应该是冲(dashed)向最近的池塘。slide“滑行”。8C根据上下文可知，此处指开始用水喷向火焰(flames)。9D根据语境可知，此处表示然而很快，风又变强了。pick up“变大，变强”，符合语境。die off“相继死去，先后死去”；take on“呈现，开始具有(某种特征、面貌等)”；turn out“结果是，证明是”。10B根据下文中的“he jumped into the truck”可知，父亲走向卡车。11B考查连词。A项意为“如果”，引导条件状语从句；B项意为“一就，一旦”，引导时间状语从句；C项“自以来，因为，既然”；D项“当时候，尽管”。由上下文可知，此处指父亲一到达大门，就跳进了卡车里。故选B项。12A根据语境可知，父亲开着卡车从火中穿过。through“通过，穿过”，表示运动发生在某物的空间内；along“沿着”；over“在上面”；across“从一边到另一边，横过”，表示动作发生在物体的表面。13B根据语境可知，父亲开着卡车从火中穿过，火最终被扑灭了，所以母亲睁大(wide)眼睛看着父亲。14A根据下文中的“asking him what other jobs he had done”可知，我们是很好奇的(curious)。suspicious“怀疑的，猜疑的”；concerned“(与某事)有关的，有牵连的”； anxious“焦虑的，不安的，担心的”。15C根据语境可知，我们问父亲在退休(retired)之前还做过其他什么工作。下文中的“to retire”也是提示。16A根据第三段对父亲退休前工作的描述可知，父亲做过很多事情，所以此处指除了做脑外科手术之外，父亲几乎什么都做过。everything except“除了之外什么都”符合语境。17D由上下文可知，那场事故迫使(forced)父亲退休。18B根据上下文可知，此处指那场事故(accident)。attempt“尝试”； explanation“解释”。19Bbe proud of “为感到骄傲”符合语境。ashamed“(因自己所做的事而)羞耻的，内疚的，惭愧的”。20C根据上文可知，此处指他们的技能(skills)有朝一日可能拯救你的生命。*短文改错In order to promote participation in outdoors exercise, our school organized an activity to climb Mount Tai on April 10. The majority of my classmates joined the activity.Early in the morning, having assembled outside the school gate, we head straight to Mount Tai. We set out for the top in high spirits when the moment we arrived at the foot of the mountain. In a course of the climb, we cooperated with each other to pass the rocky and steep areas. Laughing and cheering, we eventually reached the summit, which we were greeted by the bright sunshine and fresh air. Viewing from the top, the city was beautiful. Bathed in the warm sunshine, we entertained us with stories, songs, dances and game.This event was extremely beneficial for not only did we take a break from our heavy school workload, but we also learned how to cooperate. Therefore, we strongly suggest that similar events are held every year!答案：In order to promote participation in exercise, our school organized an activity to climb Mount Tai on April 10.
