Unit 1 Friendship
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.I ______through that bitter period without your generous help.
A.couldn’t have goneB.didn’t go
C.wouldn’t go
D.hadn’t gone
解析
考查虚拟语气。句意:如果没有你的慷慨相助的话,我不可能熬过那段艰苦的日子。without your generous help相当于含蓄条件句If it hadn’t been your generous help,此处表示与过去事实相反,所以主句部分采用couldn’t have done结构,表示“本不可能”,故选择A项。
答案
A
2.Having retired(退休),he________the club for old men and plays chess every day there.
A.takes part in
B.joins in
C.attends
D.joins
解析 take part in和join in后面都跟某项活动;join后跟某一组织。俱乐部是一种组织,所以应用join。
答案 D
3.—The weather has been very hot and dry.
—Yes.If it had rained even a drop,things would be much better now!And my vegetables______.
A.wouldn’t die
B.didn’t die
C.hadn’t died
D.wouldn’t have died
解析
句意:——天气又热又干燥。——是的。要是稍微下点儿雨,现在的情况就会更好一些!那样我的蔬菜就不会死掉了。由条件句中的had rained可以推出这是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,但是主句有时间状语now,所以用了与现在事实相反的虚拟语气would be;最后一句话也是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气,故用wouldn’t have died。
答案
D

How to Sleep Better
If you’re having trouble getting good sleep through the night (turning,waking up more than once,for example),this text will tell you what you can do to ensure a peaceful night’s sleep.
1.Get on schedule.Changing your sleeping time by more than an hour can severely disturb your sleep quality.__1__For example,if you normally wake up at 6 am on weekdays to get to work,you might go to bed around 10 pm,because that’s when you start to feel sleepy,and it’s also a good time to ensure 8 hours of sleep.If,on the weekend,you sleep until 9 am,you probably won’t be able to fall asleep that night until 1 am.
2.__2__Wait at least three hours after dinner before going to sleep.Digestion slows down while asleep,and a full stomach may interrupt sleep.Similarly,you should avoid going to bed on an empty stomach,as a completely empty stomach may equally disturb your sleeping patterns.
3.__3__Exposure to light during the time when you’re supposed to be sleeping can disrupt your body’s internal clock.Turn your light off,or use a very dim night light.__4__They include windows,LED clocks,computer lights and cable boxes.
4.Change your sleeping position.You may think that it’s impossible to control what position you sleep in since you aren’t fully aware of what you are doing,but it is possible and it can make a considerable difference.__5__
A.Try to avoid all sources of light.
B.Keep the room as dark as possible.
C.Make note of unusual circumstances.
D.Be mindful of what you eat or drink before bed.
E.Sleep is considered to be adequate only when there is no daytime sleepiness.
F.In other words,sudden change of sleeping time will affect your “biological clock”.
G.If you wake up in the middle of the night,make an effort to have a comfortable position.
答案1.F 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.G
