Unit 4 Making the news一、阅读理解。We were ordinary people taking the bus every day that summer.During the early morning rides，we sat sleepily on our seats.One of the passengers was a small grey man to the center for senior citizens.He walked with a stoop(驼背) and a sad look on his face.We paid little attention to him.Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled to us before sitting down.The driver nodded politely，the rest of us being silent.The next day，the old man boarded the bus energetically，smiled and said loud，“Good morning！”Some of us looked up，amazed，and murmured“Good morning”The following weeks we were more surprised.Our friend was dressed in a nice old suit with the thin hair carefully bed.He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand.The driver smilingly asked，“Have you got yourself a girlfriend？”He nodded shyly，“She lives at the center.”The other passengers whistled and clapped at him.Charlie bowed before sitting down.Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.Some regular passengers began bringing him flowers for his bunch.Everyone smiled and joked about it.But one morning he didnt turn up.When he wasnt there the following days，we started wondering if he was sick or.We stopped at the center for senior citizens.The staff told us he was fine，but he hadnt been ing that week.One of his very close friends had died at the weekend.They expected him back on Monday.How silent we were on the rest of the way to work!The next Monday he was waiting at the stop，stooping a bit more and a bit more grey.Inside the bus was a silence，all of us sitting with our eyes filled with tears and wild flowers in our hands.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。原本寂静的车厢因一位老人友爱、热情的举动变得活跃起来，热情是可以感染他人的。在老人情绪低落时，也收到了来自他人的关爱。1The old man boarded the bus energetically probably because Ahe bought a bunch of flowersBhe got to know other passengersChe fell in love with a ladyDhe had a sweet dreamC解析：推理判断题。根据第二段倒数第三、四句并结合第一段内容可推知，这个老人之所以这么精力充沛可能是因为他恋爱了。故选C项。2What change did the old man bring to the early morning bus?AThe passengers were silent.BThe bus was full of life.CThe passengers were sleepy.DThe bus was punctual.B解析：推理判断题。根据文中的“we sat sleepily on our seats”“the rest of us being silent”“Some of us looked up，amazed，and murmuredGood morning”“we gradually began to nod and talk to each other”并结合第三段内容可知，老人的行为感染了车上的每一个人，让车里充满活力。故选B项。3Why didnt the old man turn up for several days?AHe was in sorrow for the loss of his friend.BHe wondered whether others cared about him.CHe had a quarrel with the staff of the center.DHe wasnt himself for the cold weather.A解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第四、五句并结合上文的描述可推知，是因为老人的朋友去世了，他非常悲伤，所以老人这几天没有乘车去老年中心。故选A项。4What can we infer from the story?AOnly love can affect others emotions.BThe old mans passion inspires others.CThe passengers didnt care about others feelings.DThe center for senior citizens is a good place for love.B解析：推理判断题。原本冷漠、疏离的乘客因一位老人友爱、充满热情的举动，让车厢不再寂静，乘客们开始相互交流、开玩笑；由此可推知，老人的热情鼓舞了他人。故B项正确。二、语法填空。When my father was a boy, he had a dog named Laddie.

篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了父亲和作者不同时期饲养的两只狗的故事。1constantly考查词性转换。修饰动词stayed，应用副词。2following考查非谓语动词。依据句中的“fishing, playing ball”可知，and连接三个非谓语动词作伴随状语。3a考查冠词。上文的“all the doors”说明，这里指其中一扇门被打开了。4until考查连词。由句意可知此处表述“直到它找到主人”，until意为“直到为止”，符合语境。5(should) be removed考查虚拟语气。句中的谓语动词demand后接宾语从句应用虚拟语气，且the dog与动词remove之间为被动关系，故应用被动语态。6to join考查非谓语动词。不定式在句中作目的状语。7at考查介词。空后是表示小地点的名词，故用at。8so考查固定句式。so . that . “如此以至于”。9more考查固定句式。more . than . 意为“比更多的”，故填more。10but考查连词。前后两个分句之间是转折关系，因此用转折连词but。三、完形填空。阅读下列短文，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。Though Dad looked tired and weak，his smile was as sure as ever.It was another _1_ of
