Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors一、阅读理解。Each time I see a balloon,my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl.It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died.I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven.“Yes,honey.Of course,”she said.“Can we write him a letter?”I asked. She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,“Yes.”My heart jumped.“Can the mailman go there?”I asked. “No,but I have an idea.”Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon.I asked her what it was for.“Just wait,honey.Youll see.”Mum told me to write my letter.Eagerly,I got my favourite pen,and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink.I wrote about my day,what I learned at school,what Mum was doing,and even about what happened in a story I had read.For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive.I gave the letter to Mum.She read it over,and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string.We went outside and she gave me the balloon.It was still raining.“Okay,on the count of three,let it go.One,two,three.”The balloon,carrying my letter,darted upwards against the rain.We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized,like the balloon,that Dad had never let his sickness get him down.He was strong.No matter what he suffered,hed persevere,dart up,and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body.He rose into sky and became something beautiful.I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on.I prayed to be a balloon.1.When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father,her mother_.A.believed it easy to do soB.thought her a creative girlC.felt it hard to answerD.found it easy to lie2.When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father,she_.A.jumped with joyB.was worried that it couldnt be deliveredC.started writing immediatelyD.became excited3.In the eyes of the author,what was the rain like?A.An incurable disease.B.An unforgettable memory.C.The failure her father experienced.D.The hard time her father had.4.What would be the best title for the passage?A.An unforgettable experienceB.Fly to heavenC.The strong red balloonD.A great father参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.D; 4.C解析： 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女儿想和已故的父亲通信,这使母亲很为难。但聪明的母亲用红气球作为邮递员把女儿写给父亲的信寄往天堂,让女儿感到父亲还活着。1.C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,Yes.”可知,母亲停顿了很长时间,这意味着她思考了较长的时间才回答了女儿的问题。这说明女儿的问题很难回答。故选C项。2.D 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“My heart jumped.”可知,“我”很高兴。故选D项。3.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“No matter what he suffered.became something beautiful.”可知,雨就像父亲经历的艰难时光。故选D项。4.C 主旨大意题。本文是一篇记叙文,文章以红气球为主线贯穿整篇文章,红气球也象征着父亲。故选C项。二、单句语法填空。1They _(interrupt) by a sudden and urgent knock at the door.答案：were interrupted表示过去发生的动作，且主语they与interrupt之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，填were interrupted。2We have no alternative but _(sell) our house to pay the debt.答案：to sellhave no alternative but to do . “除之外别无选择，只能做”。3It is generally _(assume) that stress is caused by too much work.答案：assumedIt is assumed that . “普遍认为”。4We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great _ (significant) to both our society and ourselves.答案：significanceof great significancevery significant “意义重大/非常重要”。5Once _(arrest), he was likely to betray everything to the police.答案：arrestedarrest与其逻辑主语he之间为被动关系，故用过去分词在句中作状语。6If only I _ (look) ahead a few days ago! Then I wouldnt have been feeling so worried now.答案：had looked由语境和句子结构可判断if only后应用虚拟语气；由时间状语a few days ago 可知表示与过去事实相反，故应填had looked。look ahead “向前看；为将来打算”。7This is a historic building _(date) back to the 17th century.答案：datingdate back todate from表示“追溯到”，无进行时，无被动语态，句中已有谓语动词is，且building和date back to存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故应填现在分词dating作后置定语。8I am fed up _this weather; its time we had some sunshine.答案：withbe fed up with “受够了；厌烦”。9Sometimes we went ahead and did it, regardless _the consequences.答案：ofregardless of “不管；不顾”。10While working out the problem, you should pay more attention to the _(accurate)答案：accuracy由空格前的冠词the可知，此处填名词形式。三、完形填空。When apologizing, chances are that youve uttered the phrase, “I never meant to hurt you.” 1. In a talk, Caroline Myss, a spiritual seeker and researcher, took on the topic of forgiveness and healing. She explained why “I never meant to hurt you” is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it es from.“Picture that person ing up to you and saying, Im sorry I did this. 2. And can we just call it a day？” Caroline says. As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解), that type of apology wont sit well with the person on the receiving end. “That whole little thingI never meant to hurt youis the thing you cant forgive，” she says. “That sick feeling goes right to your soul.”Instead, Caroline says its important to approach the conversation differently. Ultimately, its about offering more than an apology. 3. “Lets redo the scene，” Caroline says.“The person es up to you and says, I need to tell you something. 4. It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didnt listen. And I now know that my actions redirected the course of your life. This is not an apology. I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you. 5. ”Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate. And thats what heals.AHere is my apology.BBut it doesnt matter to you.CIm asking now for your forgiveness.DI consciously knew what I was doing.EBut you know I never meant to hurt you.FIts about sharing a soultosoul confession.GHowever, its not a suitable way to apologize.【解题导语】本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者阐明了用“我从没想过要伤害你”来道歉是不够的。1G解析：根据下文的内容尤其是“She explained why I never meant to hurt you is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it es from.”可知，此处讲的应是用“我从没想过要伤害你”这句话来道歉的不足，故G项“但是，这并不是一种合适的道歉的方法”符合语境。2E解析：根据本段内容可知，此处是Caroline Myss让大家想象一下有人用“我从没想过要伤害你”来向你道歉时的情景，故E项符合题意。3F解析：根据上文的“its about offering more than an apology”以及下文的“This is not an apology. I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you.”可知F项与之相呼应，表示道歉应该是心灵对心灵的忏悔。下文中的“within the soul”亦是提示。故选F。4D解析：根据空后的“It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didnt listen.”可知，此处讲的应该是当时所做的错事方面的内容，故D项符合语境。5C解析：根据上文中的“As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解).”可知，向别人道歉的目的是获得别人的谅解，故C项符合语境。四、单句改错。1Assumed that the weather is favorable, farmers will have a good harvest._答案：AssumedAssumingAssuming that . “假定/假设”，常位于句首作状语。2He could have finished it on schedule, but anyhow he fell behind._答案：anyhowsomehowsomehow “不知怎么地；以某种方式”。anyhowanyway “尽管如此”。3Im very sorry to interrupt with you, but I have something important to tell you._答案：去掉withinterrupt为及物动词，interrupt sb./sth. “打断某人/某事”。4We had been waiting for you for an hour; we dont want to wait any longer._答案：hadhave由语境可知，“等待”这个动作应是持续到现在，故应用现在完成进行时。5Which is mentioned above, they have succeeded in solving many problems with the new theory._答案：WhichAs该句中从句为as引导的非限制性定语从句。which引导的非限制性定语从句不能置于句首。As is mentioned above “正如上面所提到的那样”。五、短文改错。It is clear shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students surveying have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight too.And a larger percentage lacks sleep.52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students wont obey our parents or teachers.Personally ，I think we student should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body，one cant achieve anything.However，too much attention has been paid only on studies.As a result, I suggest we are given less homework or more time for outofclassroom activities. Only in this way can we live a happy and healthy life.答案：It is shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight .And a larger percentage sleep.52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students wont obey parents or teachers.Personally, I think we should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body，one cant achieve anything.However，too much attention has been paid only studies.As a result, I suggest we given less homework more time for outofclassroom activities.
