Unit 4 Body language
(60分钟81分)
Part A
一、阅读理解(共8小题;每小题2分,满分16分)
A
Under new rules posted by the Civil Aviation Administration of China on Friday,pilots will have to pass a “level four” test of Mandarin(普通话) Chinese,China’s official language.Those who speak with an accent that often impedes comprehension will not pass.These rules take effect in January 2016.
China’s 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects.Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents,which can be mutually unintelligible(难理解的).
One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion,especially when common English aviation(航空) terms enter the equation.Asked if there is a problem on board,a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you,or “there isn’t”.But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei you as “may day”—unwittingly parroting the universally recognized distress(危难) call.
Like their international counterparts,Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion stemming from homonyms(同音异义) or near-homonyms.They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven,which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.
The new rule could affect all pilots,who must renew their licence every six years,and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession.
1.The underlined word “impedes” in Paragraph 1 means .
A.improves B.helps
C.misunderstands D.limits
2.What can we infer according to the passage?
A.Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin.
B.Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well.
C.It isn’t necessary for a pilot to pass a “level four” test of Mandarin Chinese before January 2016.
D.“May day” is a distress call in our daily life.
3.The Chinese aviators use the terms yao for one and guai for seven to .
A.avoid confusion
B.communicate with their international counterparts
C.pass the test
D.avoid their accents
4.The best title for the passage is .
A.Chinese pilots told to get rid of accents
B.Chinese pilots
C.Rich Chinese languages
D.Hard to be a Chinese pilot
【文章大意】本文为说明文,主要介绍了中国民用航空局要求飞行员必须通过普通话“四级”考试的规定及其原因。
1.D 词义推测题。根据第二段最后一句“Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other...”以及第三段第一句“One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion...”可知,口音会影响或阻碍沟通。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“These rules take effect in January 2016.”可知,新规自2016年1月开始实施,故C项正确。
3.A 细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,中国飞行员开发了一些代码以避免同音字或近音字造成混淆,1和7的中文发音相近,容易混淆,用“幺”和“拐”代替,故A项正确。
4.A 主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句和第二句是主题句,即中国飞行员被要求过语言关。
B
Nothing could stop Dad.After he was put on disability for a bad back,he bought a small farm in the country,just enough to grow food for the family.He planted vegetables,fruit trees and even kept bees for honey.
And every week he cleaned Old Man McColgin’s chicken house in exchange for manure(肥料).The smell really burned the inside of our nose.When we complained about the terrible smell,Dad said the stronger the manure,the healthier the crops,and he was right.For example,just one of his cantaloupes filled the entire house with its sweet smell,and the taste was even sweeter.
As the vegetables started coming in,Dad threw himself into cooking.One day,armed with a basket of vegetables,he announced he was going to make stew(炖菜).Dad pulled out a pressure cooker and filled it up with cabbages,eggplants,potatoes,corns,onions and carrots.For about half an hour,the pressure built and the vegetables cooked.Finally,Dad turned off the stove,the pot began to cool and the pressure relief valve sprayed out a cloud of steam.If we thought Dad’s pile of chicken manure was bad,this was 10 times worse.When Dad took off the lid,the smell nearly knocked us out.
Dad carried the pot out and we opened doors and windows to air out the house.Just how bad was it?The neighbors came out of their houses to see if we had a gas leak!
Determined,Dad filled our plates with steaming stew and passed them around.It didn’t look that bad,and after the first wave had shut down my ability to smell,it didn’t offend the nose so much,either.I took a taste.It would never win a prize in a cooking competition,but it was surprisingly edible,and we drank up every last drop of soup!

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文,讲述了作者的爸爸在残疾后,自强不息,买农场种菜,通过打扫鸡舍收集肥料,并亲自下厨为一家人做菜的温馨故事。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知,他帮忙打扫鸡舍是为了收集肥料。故选择B项。
2.D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句可知,我们喝光了最后一滴汤,由此推知爸爸做的汤尝起来是十分美味的。故选择D项。
3.B 词义推测题。根据第五段第二句可知,第一波味道让我们丧失了嗅觉能力,所以炖汤的味道并没让我们那么难受,故选择B项。
4.C 推理判断题。根据爸爸在残疾后,自强不息,买农场种菜,打扫鸡舍收集肥料,亲自下厨等可知,爸爸是一个对生活有着积极态度的人。
二、语法填空(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
Nowadays,it is common that more and more high school students open their own micro blogs on the Internet.For one thing,it can provide a colorful platform to show their talent.For 1.,it is a useful way to release their pressure.And all these make it more and more popular with high school students.2. many parents and teachers hold a different view.They think that 3.(manage) one’s micro blog will take a lot of time and energy,4. should be used to study.

In fact,micro blog itself is of little harm.It is your attitude towards it 9. matters.We should take the 10.(advantage) and avoid some bad effects.
(2015·长春质检)
1.another。for one thing...for another...为固定句型,表示“一方面……另一方面……”。
2.But。上一句提到微博在高中生中备受欢迎,而本句却提到很多父母和老师持不同的观点,上下句之间为转折关系,故应该用表示转折关系的并列连词but。
3.managing。此处应用动名词短语在宾语从句中作主语。
4.which。此处指代的是上句中的time and energy,引导非限制性定语从句并且在从句中作主语,故应该用关系代词which。
5.greatly。此处应用副词作状语。
6.an。play an important role in...为固定搭配,表示“在……中扮演重要的角色/起重要作用”。
7.valuable。此处应当使用形容词valuable作定语修饰tool,表示“有价值的工具”。
8.organizing。此处应用现在进行时表示正在进行的动作或状态,句中承前省略了主语we和be动词are,其完整形式为while we are organizing our micro blogs。
9.that。“It is/was+被强调部分+that+其他部分”为强调句型。本句强调了主语your attitude towards it。
10.advantages。根据后面的bad effects可知这里也应用名词复数形式。

二、七选五阅读填空(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
1 There are two pens which can write this book.One is writing growth,the other is writing caducity(衰老).One is describing success,the other is presenting failure.In other words,one is drawing happiness and the other is showing sorrow as well.
Life is like a heavy truck,so happiness and sorrow are like the wheels.No cross,no crown.No pain,no joy. 2 One is that to live a day is to leave a day.The other is that to live a day is to enjoy a day.Just one word difference,it has reflected the complete reverse(相反的) state of psychology.Life is like the course which is investing(投资) all the time. 3
When you have it,you should use it well and make it develop great actions.Please remember,the active attitude creates wonderful life,or the negative attitude wastes lifetime.
4 When she was about to knock at the door,she heard someone speaking in the room.A little girl said,“Would you like some braised(炖熟的) pork today?” Another girl said,“No.I would like some toasted chicken.” Following the words,the lady knocked at the door and went into the room. 5 To her surprise,there were only some pieces of thin and dry bread,two cold potatoes and a jar of water on the table.The lady asked them what was the matter.They said that they imagined that,so poor food was turned into many kinds of delicious food.
When the lady left the family,she had new understanding of happiness.

【文章大意】生活就像一台敞篷车,快乐和忧伤就是车轮。记住:积极的态度成就精彩的人生,消极的态度使人虚度年华。
1.A 根据下文的“There are two pens which can write this book.”可知,上文提到了书,故A项“Life is like a book.”符合语境。

3.F 前文的“Life is like the course which is investing all the time.”说明生活就是一个不断投资的过程,因此从某种意义上来说,生活就是资本。故F项符合语境。
4.G 空缺处位于本段句首,介绍了事情的起因。根据“When she was about to knock at the door”可知,这位女士要去拜访一户人家,故G项符合语境。

三、短文改错(满分10分)
My soccer coach retired in last week.I wanted to do anything special for him at his retirement party.My mom makes the better biscuits in the world,so I decide to ask her for help.Mom taught me some basic step of baking.I insisted on doing most of the baking myself.I thought the biscuits were really well.My only mistake was that I dropped some on the floor after I was packing them up.
At a party,my coach,with a biscuit in his mouth,asked surprisingly who made them and joked,“I might have to retire again next year just get some more of these biscuits.”
My favorite picture at the party is of my coach and me enjoy the biscuits with happy laughter!
(2015·陕西高考)
1.第1句:删除in。last,next,this,that后跟year,week时可以直接作时间状语,前面不再加任何介词。
2.第2句:anything→something。此处表示“某件事情”,应该用不定代词something。anything表示“任何事情”,不合语境。
3.第3句:better→best。此处有范围提示“in the world”,在语义上强调是“世界上最好的”,故应该使用形容词的最高级。
4.第3句:decide→decided。根据上下文语境可知,此处叙述的是过去的事实,故应该用一般过去时。
5.第4句:step→steps。step在此处表示“步骤”,为可数名词,且前面有some(一些)修饰,故应该使用其复数形式。
6.第6句:well→good。well作表语一般表示“(人)身体健康的”。而此处表示饼干的味道好,故应该用good作表语。
7.第7句:after→when/while。此处表示作者在给饼干打包的过程中把一些饼干弄掉地上了。表示前一个动作在后一个动作进行的过程中发生了,又因为pack them up表示延续性的动作,故可以用连词when或while引导时间状语从句。
8.第8句:第一个a→the。此处指短文第一句中提到的party,表示特指,故应该用定冠词the修饰。
9.第8句:在get前加to。根据句意可知,此处表示的是前面的retire again next year的目的,故应该用不定式。
10.第9句:enjoy→enjoying。此处所填词作介词of的宾语,应用动名词形式。
