Unit 3 puters*阅读理解。My mother has always lived by some simple rules:Go to church every Sunday,help people in need,and dont worry about unchangeable things.These simple rules have allowed her to live a content life,and in doing so,she sets an example for her children to follow.However,I had broken all of these rules by the time I set off for college. It was September,and I should have been ecstatic as I stood on my college campus saying goodbye to my parents and embarking my new independent life.However,I was just quietly crying.I had never been away from home without family.My mom hugged me,“Little girl,well e back to get you next weekend and you can e home for a visit!” My homesickness made my freshman year in college difficult,and I forted myself by throwing myself into my academics.I spent all my time studying,including weekends when everyone else attended parties.I had always been a good student.I would not settle anything but an A,and when I got a 4.0 my first semester,a friend said to me,“Thats great,but you can only go down from there!” Suddenly,I was more driven than ever. My mom was worried about my social life.She was happy that I got good grades but had always told me there was more to life.What about faith?What about helping others?She encouraged me to go to church.She believed that weekly attendance was the answer to my pathetic social situation. Sometimes,I find myself being critical (批评的) of my mothers simple ways.Its difficult with busy schedules to go to church every Sunday.And while I admire my moms ability to help anyone in need,I plain that I do not have as much time as I wish to follow her example.Her simple rules have served her well,and though I dont follow them as much as I should,they are there like a beacon(灯塔),calling for me to follow.1.The underlined word “ecstatic” in Paragraph 2 probably means_.A.tearyB.excitedC.homesickD.sad2.What can we infer from the third paragraph?A.The author didnt like any social activities.B.The author was angry with what her friend said.C.The author had a difficult time learning in college.D.The author couldnt adapt to university life at first.3.What is the authors opinion about her mothers life rules?A.She values the rules because they are guiding in her life.B.She ignores the rules because they are meaningless to her.C.She supports the rules because they are suitable for her.D.She disapproves the rules because they are difficult to follow.参考答案： 1.B; 2.D; 3.A解析： 作者母亲的生活法则虽然简单,但却蕴含人生智慧,就像灯塔,指引作者在人生道路上前进。1.B 词义猜测题。由本句后面表示转折的“However,I was just quietly crying.”可知,ecstatic应与crying所表达的情绪相反,意为“兴奋的”,故选B项。2.D 推理判断题。由第三段,特别是第一句“My homesickness made my freshman year in college difficult,and I forted myself by throwing myself into my academics.”可推断,作者由于想家,大一只能通过不断的学习来安慰自己,故在大学一开始,作者不能很好地适应大学生活,故选D项。3.A 细节理解题。由最后一段的最后一句 “Her simple rules have served her well,and though I dont follow them as much as I should,they are there like a beacon,calling for me to follow.”可知,作者虽然不能完全遵守母亲的生活法则,但它们会像灯塔一样不断指引作者,故选A项。*语法填空。All of us have read thrilling stories. In many of _1_(they) the hero had only a _2_(limit) and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twentyfour hours, _3_we were always interested in _4_(discover) just how the dying man chose to spend his last days or his last hours.Such stories set up thinking, wondering _5_we should do under similar circumstances. What _6_(happy) should we find in reviewing the past, and what regrets? Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day _7_if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would stress _8_(sharp) the values of life.I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being _9_(be) stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him _10_(much) appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文，主要描述了作者对生活的感悟，即努力过好每一天，珍惜眼下的生活。1them考查代词。介词of后接人称代词的宾格形式。they的宾格为them。2limited考查词性转换。此处limited和specified是并列关系，一起修饰time，所以填limit的形容词形式limited。3but考查连词。句意：有时长达一年，有时短到24小时，但是我们总是对发现垂死的人选择如何度过最后的时光或最后的几个小时感兴趣。根据语境可知，此处应用but表示转折。4discovering考查非谓语动词。固定搭配be interested in后接名词或动名词作宾语。故填discovering。5what考查宾语从句的连接词。动词wonder后的宾语从句中缺少动词do的宾语，所以用连接词what引导。6happiness考查词性转换。感叹句中，what修饰名词，happy的名词形式为happiness。7as考查固定搭配。句意：有时我想，把每天都当作生命的最后一天来度过也不失为一个很好的生命法则。as if是固定搭配，意为“似乎，好像”，符合语境。8sharply考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词stress。故填sharply，意为“大幅度地”。9were考查虚拟语气。句意：我常常想，如果每个人在他成年的早期有一段时间处于眼盲、耳聋的状态，那会是一种幸事。根据句意可知，本句为虚拟语气。根据主句中的谓语动词“would be”可知，if从句中的谓语动词应用一般过去时，be动词一律用were。10more考查形容词的比较级。appreciative是多音节形容词，本句表示“黑暗让他更加感激光明”，应用形容词的比较级形式，故填more。*完形填空。There was once a widow who had two daughters.The 1 widow loved the elder who was like herself both in looks and personality, but didnt love the other, who resembled her 2 ， although she was pretty and friendly.The younger daughter had to 3 hard all day and live upon the leftovers of her elder sister.Among her other 4 jobs, she was forced to carry water every day 5 One day 6 she had just filled her pot at the fountain, an old trembling woman asked her for a drink of water.Glad to show a kindness to the old woman, she 7 Now, all of a sudden, there was no old trembling woman but a(n) 8 who rewarded good deeds before her.“Your face is pretty 9 your heart is gentle，” she said.“For your kindness, I will make you a gift.Every time you speak, from your mouth shall e a flower or a jewel.”When the girl reached home, her ill mother 10 her for her long absence.“Pardon me for being away so long，” she replied.As she spoke some pearls and diamonds dropped from her 11 “What is this I see, child？” asked the 12 widow.The poor girl was so happy to be 13 child by her mother that she eagerly told her mother about her 14 with the old woman at the fountain.The widow immediately 15 her favorite daughter to do as the 16 girl had done.When the impatient girl was filling the pot with water at the 17 ，a beautiful lady appeared and 18 a drink of water from the girl.“I have not e here to serve you, ” she 19 replied.The lady, who was the fairy, said，“I will make you a gift to 20 your rudeness.Every time you speak，from your mouth shall e a snake or a toad(蟾蜍)”【解题导语】本文主要讲述了两个性格和外表不同的姐妹对给予他人帮助的不同反应及她们得到的相应的结果，彰显了善有善报的道理。1A.goodtemperedBbadtemperedCkindDbeautifulB解析：根据下文中的“her ill mother” 并结合下文她训斥小女儿可推知，她脾气不好。2A.daughterBteacherCmotherDfatherD解析：根据语境中的转折可知，此处与 “herself” 形成对比。小女儿不像她而是像父亲。3A.plainBplayCworkDstudyC解析：根据下文中的 “Among her other jobs, she was forced to carry water every day ” 并结合“live upon the leftovers of her elder sister ” 可推知，小女儿整天要做许多工作，靠吃姐姐的剩饭菜生活。4A.easyBhardCinterestingDboringB解析：根据上文中的“The younger daughter had to hard all day” 可推知，小女儿的工作都很辛苦，很累人。5A.within reachBwith easeCwithout hesitationDfrom a great distanceD解析：根据本段的整体内容可知，小女儿过得很艰难。由 “she was forced to carry water every day” 可推知，小女儿还得每天从很远的地方挑水，这与其艰难的生活境况呼应。6A.whenBwhileConceDbeforeA解析：此处应用 when 引导定语从句，在从句中作时间状语，修饰先行词 One day。7A.hesitatedBagreedCleftDarguedB解析：根据空前的“Glad to show a kindness to the old woman” 可推知，小女儿答应了老妇人的请求。8A.boyBold womanCold manDfairyD解析：根据下文的“The lady, who was the fairy” 可推知，老妇人是仙女变过来的。9A.althoughBbutCwhileDandD解析：根据语境可知，空处前后句表示逻辑上的并列关系，故选 D。10A.scoldedBpraisedCthankedDforgaveA解析：与 “her ill mother” 和 “her long absence” 呼应并结合下文小女儿的道歉可知，此处表示小女儿受到母亲的训斥。11A.waistBhairClipsDhandsC解析：根据上文中的 “Every time you speak, from your mouth shall e a flower or a jewel.” 可知，小女儿以后说话会口吐花儿或者宝石，故选 C。lip “嘴唇”，符合语境。12A.amusedBinterestedCastonishedDfrightenedC解析：小女儿突然口吐珍珠和宝石，她的母亲自然很吃惊。 astonished “吃惊的”。13A.awardedBcalledCshowedDtaughtB解析：根据上文中的“What is this I see, child？” 可推知，寡妇很震惊，对小女儿的态度突然转变，柔和了很多，称她为“孩子”。14A.difficultyBthoughtCexperimentDexperienceD解析：小女儿迫切地将自己遇到仙女的经历告诉了母亲。experience “经历”。15A.advisedBgotCforcedDinvitedB解析：get sb.to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”，符合语境。16A.slimBtallCelderDpoorD解析：与上文中的“The poor girl”呼应可推知，这里指可怜的小女儿。17A.riverBpoolCfountainDwellC解析：与上文中的“One day she had just filled her pot at the fountain” 呼应可推知，大女儿也来到喷泉那里。18A.asked forBasked ofCasked aboutDasked afterA解析：与上文中的“an old trembling woman asked her for a drink of water” 呼应可推知，一个漂亮的女士向大女儿讨水喝。19A.rudely BjokinglyCproudlyDhurriedlyA解析：与下文中的“your rudeness”呼应可推知，当时大女儿举止很粗鲁，与上文的“the impatient girl” 呼应，故选A。20A.deserveBfaceCequalDrepayC解析：结合语境可知，此处表示仙女要送给大女儿一份与她的粗鲁相匹配的礼物。equal “比得上”。*短文改错。Thanks for your concern in your letter about the smog which frequent strikes some areas of China.
