It seems that fate likes to play strange jokes on those who are famous.The manner in which fate saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record.Downhearted, ill, and depressed, Clive, then a young clerk, placed a revolver(左轮枪手) to his head and snapped the trigger time after time.It refused to fire and he realised that suicide was not to be his lot.A subordinate (下属) took the same pistol from Clive's hand and fired it six times in succession(连续)．
A somewhat different but disturbing fate laid in store for Robert Todd Lincoln, the eldest son of the Civil War President.Young Lincoln had received orders to report to Washington.In White House he was told that his parents had gone to Fords Theatre and they had requested that he join them there.Robert Todd Lincoln went to the theatre and, just as he entered the building, he was stretched back by a crowd of excited people, among whom were the stretcher bearers carrying the dying President.
During the administration of President Garfield, Robert Todd Lincoln became Secretary of War.He was a close personal friend of President Garfield and, when the President prepared to leave for a visit to the seashore at Elberton, New Jersey, Secretary Lincoln accepted an invitation to go along.As Secretary Lincoln reached the railway station, he encountered the stretcher bearers carrying out the fatally wounded President Garfield, victim of an assassin's(刺客) bullet.
Twenty years later, as Robert Todd Lincoln entered the Temple of Music in Buffalo to greet President McKinley, the President was carried past him by stretcher bearers.Garfield, Lincoln, and McKinley were the presidents to be assassinated (暗杀), and Robert Todd Lincoln was the only man who was on the scene immediately after all the shootings.

Ⅳ.阅读简答
Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her threeyearold son, Michael, preparing for a new sibling. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy's tummy.
The pregnancy(怀孕) progresses was normal for Karen. But complications arose during delivery(分娩). Finally, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in serious condition. With siren howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital.
The little girl got worse. The doctor told the parents, “There is very little hope. Be prepared for the worst.” Karen and her husband had fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby — now they planned a funeral.
Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister, “I want to sing to her，” he said. But kids are never allowed in Intensive Care. However, Karen made up her mind. She would take Michael whether they liked it or not.
“If he doesn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive.” She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. The head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, “Get that kid out of here now! ” The mother, the usually mildmannered lady glared steeleyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. “He is not leaving until he sings to his sister！” Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he began to sing.
“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray”．
Instantly the baby girl responded. The pulse rate became
calm and steady.
“You never know, dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away”．
The ragged, strained breathing became as smooth as a kitten's purr.
“Keep on singing, Michael”. Tears conquered the face of the bossy head nurse as well as Karen.
Funeral plans were scrapped. The next day — the very next day — the little girl was well enough to go home!
NEVER GIVE UP THE ONE WE LOVE!

Unit 2
Ⅰ.1. C 句子的主语 he 和go 之间为主谓关系，故用 go 的现在分词形式。现在分词短语 go into the classroom 在这里作时间状语。句意：走进教室，他看到露丝一个人站在角落里。
2. C 句意：别相信那个人说的话。努力工作并且相信自己，有朝一日你会成功的。表示“相信某人说的话”用believe，表示“信任某人”则用 believe in。
3. D 考查非谓语动词。答语前半句的意思是他在结冰的路上追赶一辆公共汽车时滑倒了。chasing after a bus 是分词短语作状语，表示的是动作同时发生，he 与 chase 之间是主谓关系，故用现在分词形式。
4. A 句意：从上周四离开办公室后，史密斯先生在一个偏远的村庄里被找到了。根据语意，Mr. Smith与leave 之间构成主谓关系，故用leave 的现在分词形式 leaving, 此处相当于after he left his office, 故选C项。
5. D 考查分词作状语时，其逻辑主语是句子的主语，a sense of pride 并非see的执行者，故D正确。
6. D 考查定语从句。句意：对心灵的关爱是一个渐进的过程，在这个过程中，甚至生活中那些微小的细节都应该加以考虑。还原句子even the small details of life should be considered in a gradual process可知定语从句与先行词之间用in，意为“在……的过程中” ，故用in which引导定语从句，which指代前面的process。
7. B 句意：在大饥荒年代没人会挑剔他吃的食物。A项“专门的，特殊的”；B项“挑剔的”，be particular about “对……挑剔”；C项“与众不同的”；D项“特别的”。故B项正确。
8. D whether 引导的从句充当介词 on 的宾语，表示“是否”。
9. D 结合选项来分析句子结构，逗号前为时间状语从句，如果删除，后面句子实际上是一个祈使句。由此可知，D选项符合题意。
10. B 考查英语中倍数的表达法。表示倍数时，可用“倍数＋as＋形容词/副词的原级＋as＋比较对象”。在倍数之前还可用more than, over, less than等修饰语。因此答案为B。
11. B 考查 neither 引导倒装的用法。句意：我不想让儿子去南京参加2017年世界电子竞技大赛，我丈夫也不想让他去。neither 放在从句之首时，表示前面所否定的情况也适用于后一个主语，此时要用全部倒装。
12. A 句意：一场可怕的飞机坠毁事故在大西洋上空发生了，150名乘客遇难。根据句意，此处要用现在分词短语作结果状语。
13. C 考查名词。这家餐馆越来越出名的原因是它有各种各样的绿色食物。range 强调“一系列”，符合题意。division 区分； area 地区，区域； circle 圆形，阶层，均与题意不符。
14. B pick out 挑选出； pick up 捡起，接某人。根据句意可知选B。
15. A cut down 消减； cut off 切断； cut up 切碎； cut in 插嘴。根据句意选cut down。
Ⅱ.A 1. A 前面提到一辆车从对面开来，因此A正确。
2. B 根据下文的how dependent we were on each other at that moment.可知答案。
3. A bring one's life to a sudden end突然结束某人的生命。
4. C 双方在开车且是相向而行，和陌生人当然不可能相互说话，故答案选C。
5. D 这个世界运作的方式。
6. B simply仅仅，简单地。
7. A 根据前面的内容作者与对方不认识，因此选A。
8. D 识别SARS病毒，当然是救了数千人的命。
9. A SARS与恐怖主义是人们要合作解决的相似问题，故答案选A。
10. C 根据文章主要强调自己的责任感与别人的合作同等重要，可知选C。
11. C
12. B trust与前面的threat相对应。
B 1. and 2. that/which 3. into 4. without 5. in 6. to 7. on 8. what
Ⅲ.1. C 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句可以知道，命运常常对一些名人开玩笑，而Clive更是其中的经典，所以由此推出C正确。
2. A 细节理解题。由第一段的“A subordinate(下属) took the same pistol from Clive's hand and fired it six times in succession.”可知。
3. D 细节理解题。由最后一段的最后一句话“…Robert Todd Lincoln was the only man who was on the scene immediately after all the shootings.”可知答案。
4. B 推理判断题。结合全文可以看出Clive从枪口中获生，且由开篇的The manner in which fate saved Clive of India for his mission in history is a matter of record.可知，命运与他开的玩笑是历史上的经典，他也最幸运。
5. A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了命运对某些名人开的玩笑，因此那些名人就成了命运的见证人，所以选择The Fatal Witness较为合适。
Ⅳ.1. Expectant.
2. To get ready for the worst result.
3. The baby recovered from the dangerous state of coma gradually.
4. A miracle of love.
Ⅴ.One possible version：
March 22,2017, SaturdaySunny
Today is the 22nd World Water Day. In the morning, we had a class meeting to make preparations for the afternoon activities.
At 2：00 pm, we went to the neighboring community to hand out leaflets, calling on people to save water. At around 3 o'clock, the expert made an excellent speech to us on the current water crisis. He talked about the drought and the severe shortage of water in the northwest of China. The speech had a strong appeal to all the students present. After that, we had a discussion with our neighbors about various ways of saving water in our daily life. I suggested turning off the tap immediately after using it, and a middleaged woman came up with many ideas of reusing the water from kitchen.
Now, I have really had a better understanding of the importance of saving water.
