Unit 5 Travelling abroad grammar课时作业.阅读理解A2019河北联盟考试 Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) to the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had forgone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that he was 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt miss an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional wellbeing.【语篇解读】“我”认为英语中最悲伤的两个词是“if only”，因为它们表达了遗憾。父亲在“我”小时候经常告诉我们花费额外的时间也要把事情做好来避免遗憾，“我”听从父亲的建议并认为这样做是对的。【难句分析】I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality.分析：该句是由but连接的表示并列的两个分句组成，其中在第一个分句中，“there will still be occasions when I have to say if only about something”是省略了连接词that的宾语从句，从句中又使用了when引导的定语从句，修饰先行词occasions。在第二个分句中，动词不定式作目的状语。译文：我知道，仍然将会有一些场合我不得不就一些事情说“if only”，但是由于我的准则是做一切可能的事情来避免那种事情的发生，我的生活毫无疑问会更加美好。1Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language?ABecause people use them when they feel sad.BBecause they express regrets and disappointment in life.CBecause they remind the writer of some sad experiences.DBecause they mean sadness in the English language.答案与解析：B考查细节理解。由第一段中的“Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only. because they convey regrets, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment”可知，“我”认为英语中最令人伤心的两个词是“if only”，因为这两个词表达了后悔、错失的机会、错误和失望，故选B项。2Whats the meaning of the underlined word “forgone” in Paragraph 3?AGiven up.BCome across.CGot through. DHeld back.答案与解析：A考查词义猜测。该词所在的句子表达的意思是：我们都认识这样的人，他们在失去所爱之人后会后悔错失了说“我爱你”或“我原谅你”的机会。所以画线词表示“失去了”，和短语give up意思接近，故选A项。3The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _.Asee a doctor Bfinish her workCjoin a celebration Daccompany her father答案与解析：D考查细节理解。题干中的关键信息“decided to go to her office”对应原文中的“I had decided to go to work”，由此定位到倒数第二段。从倒数第二段可以看出，“我”知道父亲要去自己办公室对面看眼科医生时，本来打算按原计划休假，但突然意识到父亲已经84岁了，所以“我”决定即便是自己的休息日，为了陪父亲，也会去上班。故选D项。4What is the best title for the passage?AAdvice from My FatherBAvoidance of Saying “If Only”CThe “Extra Minute” RuleDThe Importance of Emotional Wellbeing答案与解析：B考查主旨大意。根据首尾段的第一句话及文章大意可知，本文主要是针对避免说英语中最伤心的两个词“if only”进行阐述的，所以B项“避免说if only”符合全文内容。B2019石家庄摸底 Many Canadians are aware that problems with the nations health care system have resulted in a lack of hospital beds and medical equipment, overcrowded emergency rooms, long waiting lists, and not enough family doctors.Over the last 10 years, the number of medical students choosing the family practice as their lifelong career has been dropping at a surprising rate. When asked why they lack interest in family medicine, the students cite (援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice. As in other kinds of work, young doctors today want a balance between their professional and personal lives.In British Columbia (BC) this problem is made worse because the province produces fewer medical graduates for each person than any other province in Canada. The provincial government has committed itself to doubling the number of medical student graduates. This strategy doesnt come close to giving us the new doctors needed each year in BC to replace those who are retiring, moving out of the province, reducing their hours of practice, or dying.The primary care system is showing its cracks. Ten years ago, 2,030 of BCs family doctors were providing obstetrical (产科的) care. Today just 945 are performing this invaluable service. Although delivering babies is a “good news” area of medicine, the hours are long, but the reward for bringing new life into the world is modest. Its no surprise, then, that many of BCs family doctors are no longer taking on new patients. In 1999, there were 1,420 family doctors accepting new patients in 2004 that number declined to 599, a drop of 58%.The foundation of primary care needs to be strengthened. The Working Agreement between the doctors and the government includes a series of primary care renewal projects designed to make the family practice more attractive to medical graduates, improve upon working conditions, and entice family doctors from outside BC to start their business here. Yet still more needs to be done.体裁：说明文题材：社会生活主题：家庭医生【语篇解读】该文主要介绍了加拿大家庭医生严重缺乏的问题。【难句分析】When asked why they lack interest in family medicine, the students cite (援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice.分析：本句是一个复合句。When引导时间状语从句，从句中使用了省略的形式，补充完整应该是：When they are asked；why引导宾语从句，在从句中作原因状语；who引导定语从句，在从句中作主语，修饰先行词a doctor。译文：当被问及他们为什么对家庭医疗缺乏兴趣时，这些学生说他们有沉重的学生债务负担，并且从事家庭医务工作耗时太长。5What makes medical students unwilling to be family physicians?AThe student debt and long working hours.BLong term of study at a medical school.CA limited number of places in the medical school.DAn increasing number of patients and long waiting lists for specialists.答案与解析：A考查细节理解。根据第二段第二句“When asked why they lack interest in family medicine, the students cite (援引) a heavy student debt load and the long hours required of a doctor who is managing the family practice”可知，学生债务负担重和工作时间长成为阻碍医科学生选择成为家庭医生的两大障碍，故选A。6What does the text say about family doctors in BC?AThey are no longer needed.BThey are too few in number.CThey will soon become abundant.DThey are rapidly leaving the province.答案与解析：B考查细节理解。根据第四段第二、三句“Ten years ago, 2,030 of BCs family doctors were providing obstetrical (产科的) care. Today just 945 are performing this invaluable service”，并结合本段最后一句“In 1999, there were 1,420 family doctors accepting new patients in 2004 that number declined to 599, a drop of 58%”可知，在BC，家庭医生的数量在急剧下降，缺口很大，故选B。7Which can replace the underlined word “entice” in the last paragraph?AForbid. BHire.CRemind. DAttract.答案与解析：D考查词义猜测。根据最后一段第二句中的关键词“attractive”和“improve”可推知，画线词在此处的含义与D项“吸引”相近，故选D。8What is the primary purpose of the text?ATo show sympathy for family doctors.BTo inspire young people to be family doctors.CTo stress the urgent need of more family doctors.DTo tell the disadvantages of being family doctors.答案与解析：C考查写作意图。根据第一段的点题，并结合全文的内容可推知，本文主要介绍了加拿大家庭医生严重缺乏的问题，故选C。.七选五2019昆明调研How to Be a Good Listener to Your FamilyCommunication is important for strong family relationships. _1_ Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.Listen actively. When listening to a family member, do not let your mind wander to other things. Its important to make your family member feel heard and valued. Put your phone away and give them your full attention. Never think about other things when someone is talking. _2_Repeat what has been said. Briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication. Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family members point can show you were listening. _3_ It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well._4_ Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation. Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response. This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking. Do not talk over someone either. No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.Avoid hurrying the speaker. _5_ Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along. Never say things like “Can you get to the point？” This will make it seem like youre not interested in the conversation.ADo not interrupt.BNever rush the person into talking.CInstead, focus on whats being said.DPeople tend to pause when they speak.EIt can help you make sure you understood the speaker.FWhen someone finishes talking, ask questions if necessary.GHowever, if you dont truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate.体裁：议论文题材：人际交往主题：倾听家人的良方【语篇解读】本文介绍了四个改善家庭成员间关系的倾听技巧。1答案与解析：G空前一句突出交流对巩固家庭成员之间关系的重要性，空后一句是说使用倾听技巧可以帮助你更好地交流以及建立更密切的联系，故G项“然而，如果你不能真正地倾听他人，交流就会变得困难”从反面进一步强调倾听的重要性。2答案与解析：C本段围绕“Listen actively”展开，根据本段的内容及空前一句“当别人讲话时不要去想其他的事情”可知，C项“而要关注对方正在说的内容”符合语境。3答案与解析：E本段紧扣“Repeat what has been said”进行论证，空处与前一句构成递进关系，E选项中的“It”指代前一句中的“repeating a family members point”。4答案与解析：A空处为段首句，根据段落特征可知，本句应为祈使句且为本段的主题句。空后一句讨论打断别人会中断有效的交流，由此可以推断段首句应为不要打断(他人说话)，故A项符合语境。5答案与解析：B本段主题是“避免催促说话人”。空处谈论的内容应与首句相关，B项中的“rush”与空前的“hurrying”同义，表示“催促”，故选B项。
