Ⅱ.阅读理解
Jackie Heinricher's love affair with bamboo started in her backyard. “As a child, I remember playing among the golden bamboo my dad had planted, and when there was a slight wind, the bamboos sounded really musical.”
A fisheries biologist, Heinricher, 47, planned to work in the salmon industry in Seattle, where she lived with her husband, Guy Thornburgh, but she found it too competitive. Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: She'd planted 20 bamboo forests on their sevenacre farm.
Heinricher started BooShoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.
First she had to find a way to massproduce the plants—a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.
Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her.“People kept telling us we'd never figure it out,” says Heinricher.“Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”
She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable,_as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out.Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions(排放)and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that's just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments—a way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.
Not long after it, Burr's lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn't prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.
Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimilliondollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers(批发商). “If you want to farm bamboo, it's hard to do without the young plants, and that's what we have,” she says proudly.
16.What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?
A.They didn't have enough young bamboo.
B.They were short of money and experience.
C.They didn't have a big enough farm to do it.
D.They were not understood by other people.
17.What does Heinricher think of bamboo?
A.Fragile and affordable.
B.Productive and flexible.
C.Useful and earthfriendly.
D.Strong and profitable.
18.The underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”.
A.able to be replaced naturally
B.able to be raised difficultly
C.able to be shaped easily
D.able to be recycled conveniently
19.What do you learn from the passage?
A.Heinricher's love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.
B.Heinricher's determination helped her to succeed in her work.
C.Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.
D.Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.

I firmly believe that everyone in the world loves his mother. So am I. My mother is an ordinary teacher. She always works hardly, just as other mothers do every day. In fact, she isn’t good health. She had been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) for many years. In spite of this, he never stops working or gives up hope. I still remember the day that my mother accepted a card of congratulations for Teachers’ Day from her director. The card was read “Thank you for your hard works; Happy Teachers’ Day to you!” At that moment, I was so moving that tears came to my eyes. I am proud of my mother.

答案
课时作业(五)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查倒装句。“Only+状语从句”置于句首,主句应该用部分倒装结构,故排除A、C两项。再结合状语从句中的过去完成时可判断该空应该用一般过去时,故选B。
2.A 分析句子结构可知,空格处需填连词,引导时间状语从句,故选A项,相当于连词的作用。
3.B 考查情景交际。根据下文的“The skies are dark and cloudy.”可知,应选B,意为“我想是吧”。
4.C 考查turn构成的动词短语。第二句句意:我没在真正看书,只是在翻书。turn over“翻身;翻过(一页书)”,符合句意。
5.B 考查定语从句。 句意为:21世纪的第一个十年是中国取得一些重大成就的十年。the one指代The first decade,指的是时间。the one是定语从句的先行词,而引导词又在从句中作时间状语,所以用when或in which。
6.A 考查动词短语辨析。turn to“转向, 变成, 求助”。本句意思为“随着互联网的普及,越来越多的人转向网上买卖东西。”根据句意选A。
7.C 考查“介词+关系代词”的用法。介词to 和后面的turn构成“turn to sb. for sth.”结构。
8.A 考查非谓语动词。Madam Curie devoted all her life to为定语从句,修饰先行词the element。去掉定语从句后就会发现,句子缺少谓语动词,故选A。
9.B 考查动词辨析。表示自然灾害“侵害”了某地,我们可以用hit, attack或strike, 但不可以用knock。句意为:我们每个人都依然记得几年前那场侵袭汶川的可怕的地震。
10.C 考查定语从句和强调句型。句意:我认为一定是在我们一起吃饭的饭店里我丢的钥匙。第一个空是考查以where引导的定语从句,修饰先行词the restaurant;第二个空考查强调句型。被强调的部分是in the restaurant。故选C项。
11.B 考查代词和连词。句意:“几天前,他几乎在车祸中丧生。”“噢,那确切是什么时间的事?”“那是在4月28日他在机动车道上骑自行车时。”第一个空考查代词,that指上文提到的事;第二个空考查以when引导的定语从句。从when was ________ exactly?可知是对时间提问,并非强调一件事情发生的时间,答语应为定语从句,故选when。答案为B。
12.C 考查定语从句。句意:在这个电影里这个人打碎门的这部分使得一些观众大叫一声。主句的主语是the part,谓语是made,part的后面跟了定语从句,在定语从句中引导词作地点状语。
13.B 考查冠词的用法。句意:你认为2017年伦敦举办奥运会是一份巨大的回报吗?第一空用不定冠词a,表示泛指;第二空用定冠词the特指2017年的奥运会。
14.A 考查动词的用法。escape后面一般跟动名词作宾语。句意为:亨利承认了错误,避免了受惩罚。
15.D 修饰比较级more表程度,四个选项中只有far符合语境。句意为:我们发现玛丽弟弟的故事书比安的弟弟的多得多。
Ⅱ.本文是一篇记叙文。其大意是说Jackie Heinricher创办了一家生意独特的公司——出售对地球环境有很大好处的植物竹子。文章还介绍她栽种竹子的艰辛历程。
16.A 细节理解题。根据文章的最后一句“If you want to farm bamboo, it's hard to do without the young plants, and that's what we have…”可知没有小竹子很难广泛地栽种竹子。
17.C 推理判断题。根据第三段最后两句“It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbon dioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.”可推知竹子是“有用的”以及“环保的”。
18.A 词义猜测题。由renewable的构成可知其词根是new,加后缀able意思是“能够更新的”;加前缀re意思是“再,又,重新”,由此可知本题选A。
19.B 推理判断题。通读最后一段可知Heinricher的生意很成功,前几段讲了她的艰辛的历程,故本题选B。
Ⅲ.I firmly believe that everyone in the world loves his mother. So
I. My mother is an ordinary teacher. She always works
, just as other mothers do every day. In fact, she isn’t
good health. She
been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) for many years. In spite of this,
never stops working or gives up hope. I still remember the day
my mother
a card of congratulations for Teachers’ Day from her director. The card ⑧was read “Thank you for your hard
; Happy Teachers’ Day to you!” At that moment, I was so
that tears came to my eyes. I am proud of my mother.
①代替上句的love要用助动词do。
②修饰动词work,要用副词hard,表示“努力工作”。而hardly 则表示“几乎不”。
③ be in good health为固定用法,意为:身体健康。
④这里描述的是现在的状况,而不是过去的过去,结合时间状语for many years 可以确定应该是现在完成进行时。
⑤这里指的是“my mother”,所以用she。
⑥ 引导一个定语从句,代替表时间的先行词“the day”,在从句中作时间状语,所以要用when。
⑦表示客观上的“收到”,要用receive。
⑧ read表示“上面写着”,要用主动表被动。
⑨ work作名词表示“工作”时为不可数名词。
⑩这里指的是主语“I”感动,所以用moved。moving 意为“令人感动的。”
Ⅳ.One possible version:
Dear Jim,
How time flies! You asked me how I spent my summer vacation in your last email.As you know, I finished my college entrance exams this year and I had nearly three months' rest.So I did have a meaningful and unforgettable summer vacation.
First, I went to the Driving School to learn to drive so as to get a driving license, which is a very popular activity among Chinese youngsters.I got a driving license and improved my living skills.Then, to make good preparations for my further education, I attended some English courses to improve my oral English.Besides, I paid a visit to some tourist attractions in Beijing in August, which was really wonderful and made a deep impression on me.Most importantly, I learned to cook meals and do housework, through which I got to know it is not easy for my parents to serve me all these years.
This is what I did in my summer vacation.What about your exams and your summer vacation? I'm looking forward to receiving your letter as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
