活页综合提升练(十三)
Ⅰ.语法填空
语篇解读:本文讲述了一些西方文化中的迷信。
1.to get 考查非谓语动词的用法。由空格前的refuse可知此处应用to get。
2.terrifying 考查非谓语动词的用法。由语境和空格前面的副词so可知,此处应用terrifying,意为“令人害怕的”。
3.about 考查介词的用法。be nervous about sth.对某事感到紧张,为固定搭配。
4.betrayed 考查动词的时态。由下文的was the 13th guest...可知应用一般过去时betrayed。
5.making 考查非谓语动词的用法。此处making...在句中作结果状语。
6.particularly 考查副词的用法。此处副词particularly修饰形容词unlucky。
7.it 考查代词的用法。此处it为形式主语,指代后面真正的主语to walk under ladders。
8.When/If 考查连词的用法。由语境可知,此处when/if引导状语从句。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
语篇解读:友谊建立在双方相互信任的基础之上。当我们和朋友发生争吵或冲突时,该如何化解呢?
1.A 主旨大意题。根据全文内容可知,本文主要讲当我们和朋友发生争吵或冲突时,该如何修复我们的友谊,所以答案为A项。
2.B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的Think about this question: why are you having conflicts? This is an important first step可知,B项正确。
3.D 推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后一句Hearing you say sorry will let them know it’s not going to hurt their pride if they apologize to you.可知, 当你的朋友听到你说抱歉时,他们会觉得如果他们给你道歉也不是什么丢人的事,故朋友也会和你一样做出道歉。
4.C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段的When your friend speaks,listen with care.可知,当你和朋友聊天时,应该多倾听,而不是滔滔不绝地讲个不停。所以答案为C项。
【疑难词汇解读】
1.fix v.修理(某物)
My watch has stopped.It needs fixing.
我的表停了,需要修理了。
2.conflict n.
①冲突;争执;争论
There was a long and bitter conflict between employers and workers.劳资双方进行了旷日持久的激烈争执。
②(意见、欲望等)不合,分歧,抵触
There was a lot of conflict between him and his father.
他和他父亲之间有很多分歧。
3.refer to 提到、说到或涉及

This incident in his childhood is never again referred to.
他小时候的这件事永远不再提了。
【长难句子分析】
...your apology will seem helpless if you can’t explain what you are apologizing for,and it may lead to making the situation worse.
本句是一个并列复合句。连词and连接两个并列的分句,表示递进关系;在第一个分句中有一个连词if引导的条件状语从句;if引导的条件状语从句中又包含一个连接代词what引导的宾语从句,作explain的宾语,what在宾语从句中作介词for的宾语。
如果解释不清你为什么道歉,你的道歉会显得很无力,而且可能致使情况变得更糟。
