Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”一、阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。Nowadays，especially in China，everything seems to favor social intercourse，such as gatherings of friends，KTV，group travel，dining together，playing cards and mahjong，plus the Chinesestyle“streetcrossing group”. Back home，discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the“circle of friends”of WeChat.However，these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness.Zhu Ziqing，a wellknown professor of Tsinghua University，sighed with emotion：“My loneliness increases as the scene bees much busier.”One popular song today is also called“A lonely man in crowds”Actually，engaging in social intercourse requires ability，while being alone involves the whole character.These days，it is not easy to calm down totally and return to ones true self.Willpower，intellect and discipline are required.Einstein said：“It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”The“spare time”he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself”Lonely life could be either dull，boring and tasteless or abundant，interesting and colorful，depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy，the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs.However，information，to be processed and integrated(合并)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings，instead of bustle(忙碌)，seems to be the right condition.Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that“the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”In a sense，it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”Man，in fact，needs loneliness more than happy time，and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “boisterously”in Paragraph 1?Asurprisingly BsadlyCbusily Dpeacefully2What can we infer from the second paragraph?ABeing alone makes people depressed.BSocial intercourse improves our happiness.COne may feel lonely even when surrounded by people.DWe should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.3What can we know from Einsteins words?AYou should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.BYou should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.CYou will not bee successful if you join in more social intercourse.DYou will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.4Which may be the best title for this passage?ALive on Your OwnBHappiness and LonelinessCThe Secret of SuccessDPractice Your Social Ability【解题导语】本文主要讨论了孤独和幸福之间的关系。【难句分析】Einstein said：“It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”分析：本句是一个复合句。It is.that.是强调句型，对your spare time进行强调；whether引导宾语从句。译文：爱因斯坦说：“不是你的工作时间，而是你的业余时间决定了你是否能够成功。”1C考查词义猜测。根据第一段第一句“Nowadays, especially in China，everything seems to favor social intercourse，such as gatherings of friends，KTV，group travel，dining together，playing cards and mahjong，plus the Chinesestylestreetcrossing group”及画线词所在句可推知，中国人喜欢社交，即使回到家也会继续忙着在朋友圈里讨论，故选C。2C考查推理判断。根据第二段第二句中的“My loneliness increases as the scene bees much busier”和第三句可推知，人们有可能在热闹的人群中反而更加孤独，故选C。A项错在孤独会让人抑郁，第二段并没有提到；B项错在社交活动能够提高我们的幸福感，这与文章中清华大学教授说的话不符；D项错在我们应该参加社交活动以减少我们的孤独，这与第二段第一句“However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness”相悖，故排除。3D考查推理判断。根据第四段“Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant，interesting and colorful，depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration”并结合爱因斯坦所说的话可推知，充分利用孤独的时间，不断提高自我，这样成功的几率会更大，故选D。A项错在如果你把所有时间用来独处，你会成功，这与第三段最后一句“Thespare timehe referred to could be taken asspending time by yourself”不符；B项错在如果你想思想健康就要多锻炼，文章并没有提到；C项错在如果你参加更多的社交活动，你就不会成功，文章中没有提到，故排除。4B考查标题判断。根据最后一段“Man，in fact，needs loneliness more than happy time，and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness”并结合全文的整体内容可推知，本文主要讲的是孤独和幸福之间的关系，故选B。二、单句语法填空1We choose this hotel because the price for a night here is down to $20, half of _it used to charge.答案：what分析句子结构可知，本句的“half of _ it used to charge”在句中作$20的同位语，由此可知这里要用what引导名词性从句，作介词of的宾语，同时what在宾语从句中又作charge的宾语，因此填what。2My grandfathers collection of paintings can leave a deep _(impress) on all of you.答案：impressionleave a deep impression on sb. “给某人留下深刻印象”。3They built themselves large villas (别墅) in the wooded _(surround) of the town.答案：surroundings此处surroundings为名词，意为“环境”。4Little babies are _(tradition) expected to imitate their fathers.答案：traditionally此处副词traditionally修饰expected to imitate。5The young woman grew up in a _(wealth) family.答案：wealthy形容词wealthy “富裕的”修饰名词family。6Children are usually _(terrify) when alone in the dark.答案：terrified形容词terrified “感到害怕的”，在句中作表语。7Nancys first reaction to the news was a strange _(mix) of joy and anger.答案：mixturea mixture of . “的混合体”。8The faces of four famous American presidents on Mount Rushmore can be seen at a _(distant) of 60 miles.答案：distanceat a distance of 60 miles “在60英里外”。9After a long wait, some of them finally get to stay and settle _ , while others have to pack up and leave.答案：downsettle down 为固定短语，在本句中意为“定居”。10Tom managed _(set) aside a few dollars of his wages each week to buy a puter.答案：to setmanage to do sth. “设法做成某事”。三、完形填空。阅读下面短文，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。(2018江西大江二模)That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way _1_ my uncles home.People on the street were walking leisurely and chatting

Dkeep【解题导语】作者因一件小事和父亲在大街上争吵，致使自己颜面尽失，于是下定决心不再与父亲说话。但随着岁月的流逝，作者意识到是愤怒让自己忘记了自己最爱的人为自己所做的一切，于是逐渐改变了自己对父亲的态度。1B根据语境可知，作者与父亲是在去叔叔家的路上。on the way to.意为“在去的路上”，符合语境。故选B项。2D该句中while表示对比，意为“然而”。此处是说作者和父亲走得比较匆忙，而街上的其他人走得比较悠闲，边走边开心地(enjoyably)聊着天。故选D项。perfectly意为“完美地”；eagerly意为“急切地”；anxiously意为“焦虑地”。3B从下文的I was still left behind可知，父亲走得很快，作者试图赶上他，但是仍然被落在了后面。catch up with意为“赶上”，符合语境。故选B项。make fun of意为“取笑”；make way for意为“给让路”；get rid of意为“摆脱；除去”。4A根据第二段开头的Why do you walk so fast？可知，此处指作者不知道为什么父亲走(walked)得那么快。故选A项。5C根据空后的pletely with sweat可知，由于走得太快，作者气喘吁吁、汗流浃背。lose ones breath意为“喘不过气来”，符合语境。故选C项。temper意为“脾气”；confidence意为“信心”；balance意为“平衡”。6C根据上文中的I began to be angry at him可知，作者对父亲很生气，认为他根本不考虑作者的感受(feelings)。故选C项。belief意为“信念”；behavior意为“行为；举止”；request意为“请求；要求”。7D上文提到作者很生气，所以说话的声音应该是很大的。根据第8空后的so loudly也可知答案。故选D项。calmly意为“平静地”； frequently意为“频繁地”；softly意为“温柔地”。8D根据下文的In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and.可知，此处指父亲埋怨作者说话声音大。故选D项。9A作者责怪父亲走太快，自己跟不上，因此，此处指作者认为这都是父亲的过错(fault)。故选A项。cruelty意为“残忍”；origin意为“起源”；business意为“事情；商业”。10C作者在埋怨父亲，而此时父亲也非常生气。因此，父亲在说作者总是责备(blame)别人。故选C项。enjoy意为“喜欢”；admire意为“欣赏”；abuse意为“虐待；滥用”。11D根据下文Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time, I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.可知，作者大发脾气，与父亲在大街上吵了起来，所以选quarreled，意为“争吵”。fight意为“打架”；bargain意为“讨价还价”；consult意为“咨询”。12C根据空后的I could feel my face burning可知，和父亲吵架引来很多路人驻足观看，作者感觉自己的脸滚烫，因此可推断，作者感到羞愧(ashamed)。alarmed意为“担忧的；恐慌的”；afraid意为“害怕的”；amazed意为“惊奇的”。13B由空后的made me lose face可知，作者觉得很丢人，因为看到路人在嘲笑她。laugh at意为“嘲笑”，符合语境。故选B项。ask for意为“请求；要求”；wait for意为“等待”；aim at意为“针对；以为目标”。14A句意为：我摸了摸我的脸，怒视着他。touched和glared是作者先后做的两个并列的动作，所以用and连接。15A文中反复提到angry，通过对与父亲吵架的描述可知，此处指生气能让人忘记你所爱的人为你做的一切。故选A项。16B设空后的I were not his daughter为虚拟语气，作者因怒生恨，吵架后不与父亲说话，就好像自己不是父亲的女儿似的。as if意为“好像”，符合语境。in case意为“以防”；unless意为“除非”；after意为“在之后”。17C父亲每次打电话时，作者总是抱怨太忙。busy意为“忙碌的”，符合语境。故选C项。wrong意为“错误的”；crazy意为“疯狂的”；innocent意为“无辜的”。18B眼泪应该是从脸上流下来，所以选face。句意为：但是，当我们见面时，父亲那饱经沧桑的脸上流下的泪水使我感到内疚。19D根据空后的I realized

an old friend of mine while I was waiting for the bus._答案：去掉sight前的thecatch sight of “看见；瞥见”，为固定短语。2With water is on all sides, the local people have to go out by boat._答案：去掉is逗号后没有连接词，故“With water on all sides”是with的独立主格结构。3Rather than riding on a crowded bus in the morning, I always prefer to ride a bicycle._答案：ridingrideprefer to do A rather than do B “比起做B更喜欢做A”。4After the typhoon, people found some tall trees,measured more than 10 meters, lying on the ground._答案：measuredmeasuringmeasure 表示“某物的长度为”时，是连系动词，在本句中，trees和measure为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。5So far as the eyes can see, nothing is to be seen but sand._答案：SoAsas far as the eyes can see “在目所能及的地方”。五、短文改错A survey (调查)has recently carried out among the students in our school about whether they would like it if their parents gave birth to a second child.Opinions vary wide from one to another.Most of the students supported the idea.They think that it would be amazing to have a brother and a sister to keep the pany and share secrets with.Besides，we believe a second child would bring lots of funs to the family.However，the rest of the students interviewing hold the opposite view.To start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue whether they have been accustomed to enjoy the whole love from their parents.答案：A survey (调查)has recently carried out among the students in our school about whether they would like it if their parents gave birth to a second child.Opinions vary from one to another.Most of the students the idea.They think that it would be amazing to have a brother a sister to keep the pany and share secrets with.Besides， believe a second child would bring lots of to the family.However，the rest of the students hold the opposite view.To start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue they have been accustomed to the whole love from their parents.解析：A survey和carry out为被动关系，所以加been。解析：vary是动词，用副词修饰，所以用widely。解析：这是陈述事实，用一般现在时，将supported改为support。解析：and表示并列，此处句意为选择而非并列，故用or。解析：keep pany陪伴，陪同。解析：由句意得此处主语为students，所以为they。 解析：fun为不可数名词，无复数形式所以将funs改为fun。 解析：student和interview为被动关系，所以用ed形式作定语。解析：whether引导的是让步状语从句，而文中是陈述一个事实所以将whether删掉或者改为that。解析：accustom固定搭配be accustomed to doing 所以将enjoy变为enjoying。
