Unit 1 一、词汇复习(一)单句语法填空1 The manager was satisfied to see many new products _ (develop) after great effort. 答案:developed提示词为动词,且句中已有谓语was satisfied to see,便会考虑此处为“动词(see/hear/feel/watch/notice等)名词或代词宾补”结构;再根据所给的动词和其逻辑主语的关系确定答案。句意为:经过一番努力之后,看到许多新产品被开发出来,经理感到很满意。此处为see sth. done结构,动词develop与宾语many new products之间为逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作宾补表示被动、已完成,故答案为developed。2(2014广东,25)We got a little _(sunburn),but the day had been so relaxing that we didnt mind. 答案:sunburned或sunburnt给出的提示词为动词,并且句中也有了谓语动词got,考虑设空处应用非谓语动词形式;再分析sunburn与其逻辑主语we的关系可判断应用过去分词形式。本题考查“get过去分词”表示状态。got在该题中为连系动词,且sunburn与we之间为动宾关系,故应用过去分词作表语。因此,答案为sunburned或sunburnt。3(2014天津,5改编)Anxiously,she took the dress out of the package and tried it on,only_(find) it didnt fit. 答案:to find给出的提示词为动词,句中已有谓语动词took和tried,故此处考虑用非谓语动词作状语;再根据空前的only及句意可判断此处为“only不定式”结构。句意为:她急切地从包裹里拿出裙子穿上,结果发现它不合身。only to do表示出乎意料的结果。故填to find。4(2015广东省七校联合体联考)When there was no place in the whole field _(leave) to dig, the rabbit dug a tunnel right to where the dog had been lying all the time. 答案:left句意:当整块儿地都没有什么可挖的地方时,兔子挖了一个隧道,直通到狗一直躺着的地方。这里的提示词leave和前面的place是逻辑上的动宾关系,所以用left。5Henry cant attend the party _(hold) at Toms house at present because he is preparing the speech at the party _(hold) at Maries house tomorrow. 答案:being held; to be held考查非谓语动词作定语。第一空,根据at present可知,hold这个动作正在进行,且hold与party之间是动宾关系,故用being held;第二空,根据tomorrow可知,hold这个动作尚未发生,且hold与party之间是动宾关系,故用to be held。(二)英汉互译1. disability n. _2. disabled adj. _3. hearing n. _4. eyesight n. _5. syndrome n. _6. infantile paralysis _7.

This first came to my attention when I read a news story about the seizure of an illegal shipment of 23 yellow crested cockatoos(小葵花凤头鹦鹉), said Luke Gibson, a college teacher. He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him.This encouraged Dr. Gibson and his colleague to investigate(调查)how a critically endangered species had bee self-sustaining outside of its natural range. They discovered 49 cases of a globally threatened species being established as a separate population, which they hadnt thought of, including the yellow-crested cockatoo in their city.This is a species which is primarily threatened by wildlife trade, he told BBC News. Poachers(偷猎者)go out into the forest in its native range in eastern Indonesia and capture the bird and then ship them off, usually up to our city where there is a strong demand for pet birds. This is what has fueled the decline of this species in its native range. But its really interesting because that same cause also had another effect: some of the people who were keeping this species here accidentally or intentionally released them.” As a result of enough of the birds set free, it allowed a new self-sustaining population to be established in this city.The government in of Dr. Gibsons city has made it illegal to capture the species, even though it is a non-native species. Because the city is affluent and relatively well educated, the cases of people breaking the law are extremely rare, explained Dr Gibson, unlike in its native range in Indonesia, where capturing birds forms a major source of ine.However, there can be downsides(缺点) to the newly established population of endangered species, such as a limited genetic pool, and suffering from novel diseases. It did also present a possible “very interesting” opportunity for conservationists, Dr. Gibson suggested. This would involve harvesting some of the newly established secondary population, which may provide a way to help slow global biodiversity loss.1.What was beyond Gibsons expectations according to the first paragraph?A. The high rate of wildlife trade.B. The preciousness of the birds.C. The fact that the birds nearly disappear.D. The news that the birds were poached.2.What happened unexpectedly when the birds were shipped abroad?A. They formed a separate population.B. They were kept as pet birds.C. They were traded illegally.D. They were killed for research.3.Which can replace the underlined word “affluent”?A. Peace-loving.B. Rich.C. Free.D. Environment friendly.4.For what purpose did the author write the passage?A. To appeal to everyone to stop the wildlife trade.B. To explain the challenge the wild birds are facing.C. To introduce a creative approach to wildlife conservation.D. To raise peoples awareness of protecting endangered species.【文章大意】本文为说明文。讲述的是一项研究表明逃跑的非法交易的濒危物种形成了次级群体,为它们的长期生存提供了希望,也呈现了野生生物保护的一种可能的方法。1.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句话 He learned that the species was critically endangered, which surprised him.可知他没有料到的是这些鸟是非常濒危的物种,与C项一致,故选C。2.A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句话可知有些养这种鸟的人偶然地或者故意地放了它们,由此在这个城市里形成了单独的自我维持数量的鸟,故选A。4.C 【解析】观点态度题。根据最后一段最后两句话It did also present a possible “very interesting” opportunity for conservationists, Dr. Gibson suggested.

When winter arrived, thick and heavy snow would fall, and my two brothers would grab their sleds heading over to the hill for a day of fun. I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding. Finally, one winter I was considered big enough and joined my brothers as they carried their sleds up the long hill and prepared to ride down it.The first few trips I rode with one of my brothers had the time of my life.It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.Near the end of the day I was too overjoyed when my oldest brother decided to let me try riding the sled all by myself. I climbed on it full of excitement and lay on my stomach. Then with one big push my brother sent me down the snowy hillside.I was doing pretty well too until I hit an old stump hidden by the snow and went off course,straight towards one of those big oak trees. My heart pounded in my chest and I could hear myself screaming. At the last possible second I rolled off and the sled crashed into the tree.I could hear my brothers running down the hill yelling,“You have to steer(操控)! You have to steer!”Sadly, that wasnt the last time I failed to steer when some obstacle knocked me off course in my life.Many times problems,troubles, and my own failures have sent me crashing into the trees of anger,frustration, and despair. I am still learning that life isnt always safe sledding. I am still learning that it is up to me to steer myself back to love, back to kindness,back to goodness,and back to God.Life is a trip, but no one ever said it was a smooth ride.Steer well then.Steer straight.Steer your soul towards the light and the love that are all meant for us.【解题导语】作者小时候有一次滑雪时差点撞到橡树上,但在最后一刻,作者翻滚到雪地里才得以化险为夷,同时他学到了一个人生道理:学会自我掌控。1What do we know about the author when he was very young?AHe lived on a big hill with huge oak trees on it.BHe was frightened to go sledding with his brothers.CHe longed to go sledding with his brothers.DHe carried his brothers sleds as they went sledding.C解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“I remember watching them with envy because I was still too small to go sledding.”可知,作者因为年龄太小不能去滑雪,只能嫉妒地看着哥哥们玩。据此可知,作者小时候很渴望和哥哥们一起滑雪,故C项正确。2Which of the following can replace the underlined word“exhilarating” in Paragraph 2?ADelightful.BTerrifying.COrdinary.DViolent.A解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段第二句“It was so exhilarating when the wind whipped across my face as I flew down the hillside on the wooden sled.”可知,这句话描述的是作者第一次滑雪时在木雪橇上从山上冲下去,风从脸上刮过时的快感。根据第一段作者渴望滑雪的描述再结合下文中的“overjoyed”可知,作者玩得很开心,据此可以判断,画线词意为“令人愉快的”,故A项正确。3Why did the author fall off his sled?ABecause his sled crashed into an oak tree.BBecause he lost control of his sled.CBecause his brother pushed it so hard.DBecause the hillside was snowy.B解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I was doing pretty well.one of those big oak trees.”可知,作者撞到了雪地里的一个树桩,然后径直撞向一棵大橡树,再结合该段中的“At the last possible second.

One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 2 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks. 3 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The mon cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 4 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do. Some think that a womans body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a mans. Others think that a mans body cells have a tendency to age more quickly . 5 A. However,women,onaverage,livelonger.B. Thebiologicalfactorplaysanimportantpart. C.Womenarealsohelpedbytheirfemalegenes. D.Thefemalehormonesalsoprotectthebodyinanotherway. E.Recentresearchseemstosupportbothofthesepossibilities. F.Therefore,womenaremorehealthythanmenandcanliveabetterlife. G.Hormonesarechemicalswhichareproducedbythebodytocontrolcariousbodyfunctions.【语篇解读】本文介绍了女性比男性寿命长的原因。1.A 根据空格下一句 一般说,女性比男性多活6到7年可知此处的意思是:然而,女性平均比男性寿命更长。故选A。2.G 根据空格上句男性和女性之间荷尔蒙的不同帮助女性活得更久可知此空的意思是:荷尔蒙是身体分泌的控制身体各种功能的化学物质。故选G。3.D 根据下句它们帮助身体本身抵抗各种感染可知此空的意思是:女性荷尔蒙也用另一种方式保护身体。故选D。5.E 根据空格前两句一些人认为女性的身体细胞有比男性老化慢的倾向,另一些人认为男性的身体细胞有老化较快的倾向可知E项最近的研究似乎支持这两种可能符合题意。故选E。
