Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”*阅读理解。“How do you account_for your remarkable achievements in life？”Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller.“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf，you were able to achieve so much？”Ms.Kellers answer is a tribute(致敬)to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to American speaker Zig Ziglar，Anne Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelessly“insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally，Anne would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope，however，and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Anne，and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Anne could recover，if only she were shown love.Eventually，doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate，they now noted gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless”child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she，herself，was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her，disciplined(管教)her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon(灯塔)of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an unmunicative child into a kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse，the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.1What does the underlined part“account for”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AshowBproveCexplain Dpresent2What do we know from the third paragraph?AAnne Sullivan had very normal behavior.BAnne Sullivan was ignored by everyone.CAnne Sullivan was kept away from her parents.DAnne Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.3What would be the best title for the text?AThe Power of LoveBMaking a DifferenceCA Good TeacherDRemarkable Achievements【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一个有奉献精神的护士用自己的爱挽救了海伦凯勒的老师Anne Sullivan，而她又成就了伟大的海伦凯勒的故事。【难句分析】Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an unmunicative child into a kind teacher.分析：本句中it was.who.是强调句，强调的部分是“a loving nurse” ，transform.into.意为“把变成了”。译文：Anne Sullivan在海伦的生命中创造了奇迹，但是正是富有爱心的护士第一次相信小安妮，并慈爱地把一个寡言少语的小孩变成了一个亲切的老师。1C考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to achieve so much？”，并结合第一句的语境可推知，account for与explain同义，故选C。2D考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句和第三句“She was almost sightless and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelesslyinsaneby her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution”，并结合对本段的整体理解可推知，当时人们认为Anne Sullivan患有精神疾病，故选D。A项表示Anne Sullivan的行为非常正常，这与第三段倒数第二句“Occasionally, Anne would violently attack anyone who came near”相悖；B项表示Anne Sullivan被大家都忽略了，这与下文中提到的护士对她的关爱不符；C项表示Anne Sullivan远离她的父母，文章中并没有提到，故排除。3A考查标题判断。根据全文尤其是对文章最后一段的整体理解可知，如果没有Anne Sullivan，海伦凯勒就不会为人所知；如果没有那个富有爱心的护士，Anne Sullivan也不会被人知晓，这些都体现了爱的力量，故选A。*语法填空 Once upon a time, there was a king in a big, rich country.
