Unit 10 Money【阅读理解】 The English language has an interesting way of classifying words.You might find that a noun acts like an adjective.You know that an adjective modifies(修饰),describing a quality of a noun.For example,you drink a cup of hot tea.The adjective is hot and the noun is tea.What about lemon tea?Lemon is a noun,isnt it?Why is it modifying tea? English often uses nouns as adjectives to modify other nouns.For example,a car that people drive in races is a race car.A car with extra power or speed is a sports car.Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns. Did you notice something unusual about the expressions with the noun car?A car used to race other cars is a race car.Both nouns are singular.A car that has power and speed is a sports car.Why is the first noun,sports,plural?A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914.Cars were a new thing then. There is no rule about whether the attributive noun is singular or plural.Most of the time it is singular.But if the bination of nouns includes a plural noun,it usually stays that way.The result is phrases like ladies room,not lady room,for a room meant for women and girls,and bean soup but not beans soup for a soup made of beans.Some grammar experts think that English speakers are using more plural nouns in this way. When writing these attributive nouns in English,learners sometimes wonder about whether to use an apostrophe(撇号)to show possession.Is it a ladies room?No,it is a ladies room.Attributive nouns do not need the apostrophe.So we write Veterans(老兵)Day in American English and not Veterans Day or Veterans Day.That means the day is in honor of military veterans,not owned by veterans.1.Whats the topic of this text?A.The function of nouns.B.Special kinds of adjective.C.A special use of nouns.D.The use of adjectives.2.Adjectival nouns can be used to describe_.A.adjectivesB.sentencesC.phrasesD.other nouns3.Why is the plural form “sports” is used to describe a noun?A.It is a traditional usage.B.It is a rule of grammar.C.It is a grammar mistake.D.It is a form of stress.4.Which of the following is a correct English expression?A.Ladies room.B.Veterans Day.C.Veterans Day.D.Veterans Day.参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D解析： 1.主旨大意题。本文谈论名词的一种特殊用法:作定语。由第一段得出。2.细节理解题。形容词性名词用来修饰其他名词。由第二段最后一句Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns得出。3.推理判断题。复数名词sports作定语是一种传统用法。由第三段倒数第二句A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914得出。4.细节理解题。Veterans Day“美国退伍军人节”,两个名词之间不是所属关系,不能用撇号。由最后一段得出。 完形填空One day, a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test.They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin.The professor _1_ the question papers, with the text facing down as usual._2_ he handed them all out, he asked his students to _3_ the page and begin.To everyones surprise, there were no _4_， just a black dot in the center of the page.The professor, seeing the expression on everyones face, told them the following：“I want you to write what you _5_ there.”The students, _6_， got to start on the inexplicable (费解的) task.At the end of the class, the professor _7_ all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students.All of them, with no _8_， described the black dot, trying to explain its position in the middle of the sheet.After all had been _9_， the classroom silent, the professor began to explain：“Im not going to grade(打分) this.I _10_ wanted to give you something to think about.No one wrote about the _11_ part of the paper.Everyone focused on the black dot, and the same happens in our _12_We have a white paper to observe and _13_， but we always focus on the dark spots.Our life is a _14_ given to us with love and care, and we always have _15_ to celebrate: nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that _16_ our livelihood and the miracles we see every day._17_， we insist on focusing only on the dark spots: the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the _18_ relationship with colleagues, the _19_ with a friend，etc.The dark spots are very _20_ pared to everything we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds.”【解题导语】文章通过教授给学生做的一项小测试，说明生活中可享受的有很多，不要只看到“小黑点”。1A.handed

Reflecting on what you do well（当你感觉郁闷时，让自己想一想自己身上积极的品质。回忆一下你擅长的事情）可知，本段的主题应是思想要积极。故选B。5.E 【解析】根据前文的If you feel jealous of someone elses acplishments, use it as motivation to work harder to achieve your own goals. Just remember, if the change you want to make is healthy, go for it.（如果你对别人的成绩感到嫉妒时，要把它作为更加努力地工作去实现自己目标的动力。只要记住，如果你想要的改变是健康的，那就去做它。）可知，此处应指我们应该把嫉妒感当成自我发展的动力。故选E。、短文改错There are many people think that wealth is better than health.I used to think so until one day I had read a story about Howard Joyce.He was an European billionaire who got everything he wanted.Therefore，in the last twenty years of his life，his health began to get worse and he led a miserably life.Although the best doctors called for him，he could still find no relief.I have realized that health is worth all the money in the world.If you have million of dollars but you are at poor health，you will not be able to do what you want to do.So I would like to advise you not to hurt yourself to trying to make money.Instead，take care of your body and be happy with which you do.Health is more important.【答案】There are many people / that wealth is better than health.I used to think so until one day I read a story about Howard Joyce.He was European billionaire who got everything he wanted.，in the last twenty years of his life，his health began to get worse and he led a life.Although the best doctors called for him，he could still find no relief.I have realized that health is worth all the money in the world.If you have of dollars but you are poor health，you will not be able to do what you want to do.So I would like to advise you not to hurt yourself to to make money.Instead，take care of your body and be happy with you do.Health is more important.第一处：think前面加who或think改为thinking。考查定语从句或现在分词。分析该句结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为many people，故用who引导该定语从句；因many people和think为主动关系，故也可以用现在分词thinking作many people的后置定语。第二处：删除had。考查时态。根据该句中的“used to”和“until one day”可知，该句陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。第三处：ana。考查冠词。European的读音以辅音音素开头，故用a。第四处：ThereforeHowever。考查副词。上文说他是一位欧洲亿万富翁，得到了他想要的一切，该句说在他生命里的最后二十年，他的健康状况变得越来越糟。上下文为转折关系，故用However。第五处：miserablymiserable。考查形容词。life为名词，故应用形容词miserable修饰。第六处：called前面加were。考查主谓一致、时态和语态。主语the best doctors为复数且和动词call之间为动宾关系，故用被动语态；这里讲述的是过去发生的事情，故用were。第七处：millionmillions。考查固定搭配。millions of为固定搭配，表示“许多”。第八处：atin。考查介词。in poor health为固定搭配，意为“身体不好”。第九处：tryingtry。考查动词不定式。此处是动词不定式表目的，故to后应用动词原形try。第十处：whichwhat。考查宾语从句。分析该句结构可知，with后接宾语从句，连接词在从句中作do的宾语，故用what。
