Unit 2 English around the world*阅读理解One time a young man，who hoped to study law，wrote to Lincoln for advice，and Lincoln replied，“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half done already.Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”Lincoln knew.He had gone through it all.He had never，in his entire life，had more than a total of one years schooling.And books？Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home.A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home，he practiced his talks everywherein the fields，in the woods，before the crowds.He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.A lack of confidence always troubled him.In the presence of women he was shy and dumb.Even when he was in love with Mary Todd，he used to sit there，nervous and silent，unable to find words，listening while she did the talking.Yet that was the man who，by practice and home study，made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas！That was the man who，in the Gettysburg Address，rose to the heights of eloquence(雄辩)that have seldom been achieved in all of human history.Small wonder that，speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggle，he wrote，“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself，the thing is more than half done already.”1What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?AEarning a fortune.BMaking a living.CAsking for advice. DBeing a lawyer.2What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?ALincolns courage.BLincolns position.CLincolns progress.DLincolns eloquence.3What is the most vital spirit reflected in Lincolns story above?ABelieving in oneself.BKeeping on practicing hard.COvering difficulties.DSticking to ones determination.【解题导语】本文主要通过讲述林肯的励志故事启迪读者：无论做什么，只要坚定决心，那就成功了一半以上。【难句分析】That was the man who，in the Gettysburg Address，rose to the heights of eloquence(雄辩)that have seldom been achieved in all of human history.分析：本句是一个复合句。第二个that引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词the heights of eloquence。译文：也就是这个人，在葛底斯堡演说中，达到了雄辩的极高水平，这样的水平在整个人类历史上都很少有人达到。1D考查代词指代。根据第一段中林肯的话“If you are resolutely determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already”，并结合年轻人就学法律来咨询林肯这一内容可推知，林肯之前有做律师的经历，并且他为成为律师付出了很大的努力。2C考查段落大意。根据第四段的内容可知，林肯从一个缺乏自信、异常害羞的人到最终成为整个人类历史上少有的雄辩的演说家。第四段主要叙述了这样的巨大变化，即林肯的进步，故选C。3D考查推理判断。根据第一段和最后一段的呼应，以及这两段中的关键词“resolutely determined”可推知，林肯的故事所反映出的最重要的精神是坚持自己的决心，故选D。*语法填空Theres no such thing _1_ living alone. Never mind if youre the only person in your house and have no dog, no cat, or even no fish. You still have got several billion _2_ (roommate) and so do we all. Some of them are harmless, some are _3_ (actual) helpful and some could even kill you. They are, of course, bacteria, fungi (霉菌) and viruses, and whether you like it or not, theyre on you, around you, and deeply within you. The fact _4_ bacteria are everywhere is not surprising. Its something you _5_ (learn) from your childhood when your mother told you not to drink water from someone elses glass. There are lots of bacteria _6_ are living in your tea kettle. There are bacteria _7_ (sleep) with you on your bed. Scientists are beginning _8_ (realize) the richness of the microbiome (微生物群系), which is as plex as the ones _9_ (find) in oceans, rainforests, deserts and woodlands. Your house has a microbiome and _10_ do you.1_2._3._4._5._6._7._8._9._10._篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。世上没有真正独自的生活，即使你单独在家，家里没有狗、猫或者鱼，你身边还是有成千上万的陪伴者各种细菌、霉菌和病毒。1as考查固定结构。There is no such thing as . “没有像这样的事”。2roommates考查名词的复数。roommate为可数名词，由several billion可知，应用复数形式。3actually考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰形容词helpful。4that考查同位语从句的连接词。根据语境可知，本句中含有由that引导的同位语从句，解释说明The fact的具体内容。5learned/learnt考查动词的时态。根据下文中的told可知，应用一般过去时。6which/that考查定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为bacteria，指物，关系词在从句中作主语，故用which或that。7sleeping考查非谓语动词。bacteria与sleep存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故用现在分词作后置定语。8to realize考查非谓语动词。start和begin后跟表示心理状态或精神活动的动词时，如understand和realize等，常用不定式。9found考查非谓语动词。the ones与find是被动关系，应用过去分词作后置定语。10so考查特殊句型。“so助动词主语”表示“也如此”。*完形填空When you give thanks for help，everyone benefits.And the _1_ will last longer than youd expect：researchers have found that writing thankyou notes raises peoples _2_ levels for up to six months.“If you express gratitude in a diary，it makes you happier，but if you _3_ it with the person who helped you，it has the _4_ to bring you two closer together，”says researcher Jeff Tsang.Lawyer John Kralik experienced this personally.Hed been feeling depressed and _5_ about his life：Hed been divorced and wasnt _6_ with his children.He felt tired from the _7_ hours he devoted to work.At a/an _8_ low point，he remembered his grandfather telling him about the importance of _9_.He decided to write 365 thankyou notes over 365 days，hoping for a/an _10_ change.Immediately，he noticed his _11_ begin to improve.“The first effects are that you realise that your life is much better than you thought and you bee more positive，”Kralik says of his _12_ acts of expressing thanks._13_ by Kraliks experience，I decided to try the _14_ myself.I chose someone from my past whom Id _15_ thanked before：my wonderful highschool English teacher.I wasnt sure if Id be able to _16_ him，but eventually I found where he lived.In my letter，I thanked him for the _17_ and support that hed given me years earlier.I may never hear from him _18_，but that isnt the _19_.The letter helped me _20_ my life，and Ive been happy now for months.1A.timeBthoughtsCeffects

years ago I became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorlyequipped classroom, I found the teachers patiently and considerate. Beside, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided to make the best of it. I worked hardly and got along well my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they are always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in our class, that greatly increased my confidence and I got more motivated. My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make a use of it what determines who you are.答案：Three years ago I became a student in an ordinary school. as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorlyequipped classroom, I found the teachers and considerate. ， I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class.
