　　Unit 5 Travelling abroad

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　(2016·河北百校联盟大联考一)

　　SAN FRANCISCO—Only 21 percent of workers worldwide are “engaged”—that's the word used to describe workers who are ready to expend some extra effort at work—while 38 percent are disengaged, according to a new survey.

　　“Engagement is not satisfaction or happiness, but the degree to which workers connect to the company emotionally, and the degree to which workers are aware of what they need to do to add value and are willing to take that action，” said Julie Gebauer, a managing director of Towers Perrin, a consulting firm, which surveyed almost 90,000 workers in 19 countries.

　　“Happy employees don't necessarily create better financial results, but there is a definite link between engagement and a company's financial performance，” Gebauer said.

　　The survey found 21 percent of workers worldwide are engaged, and another 41 percent are “enrolled”， which means they're on the road to engagement.

　　More than 80 percent of the engaged employees say they contribute to the quality of company products, services and customer satisfaction, while only 40 percent of disengaged workers agree.

　　Engagement helps retention (留置) too. About 50 percent of engaged employees say they have no plans to leave their company versus 15 percent of the disengaged.

　　“The fact that almost 80 percent of workers are disengaged is likely costing companies money. ”Gebauer said.

　　“The conception of engagement is really a financial issue，” said Gebauer. “Organizations that have employees that are highly engaged deliver better financial results than those that don't.”

　　In a separate study, Towers Perrin assessed data on 40 global companies over a three­year period, measuring employee engagement at a certain point and then looking at the companies' financial results over the following three years.

　　Companies with highly motivated workers enjoyed a 3.7 percent increase in profits, while companies with a lower level of worker commitment saw a decrease in profits slightly.

　　What makes for an engaged employee? It's not necessarily pay. While the level of pay is important, it's not among the top 10 drivers of engagement. Rather than only using the pay, companies should survey their work force, much as they might study their customers, to assess what employees are seeking.

　　1．The underlined word “enrolled” in Paragraph 4 means ________.

　　A．engaged B．disengaged

　　C．over­engaged

　　D．not yet but to be engaged

　　答案：D　文章第四段的文意是：这项调查发现世界各地的员工有21%是敬业的，另有41%则是“乐业”，即他们正朝着敬业的目标迈进。enroll的基本意思是“把……编入”，根据文中对这个词汇后面的解释可以推测出enrolled在这里引申为“即将敬业的”。

　　2．According to the text, among 500 disengaged employees, how many would probably have the intention of leaving their company?

　　A．50.

　　B．75.

　　C．250.

　　D．425

　　答案：D　根据文章第六段可知，敬业员工约有50%表示自己没有离开现职的打算，但无心认真工作的员工只有15%这么想。因此500名无心认真工作的员工中想要离开现职的人有500×(1－15%)＝425人；因此答案为D项。

　　3．What would probably be talked about following the last paragraph?

　　A．The top ten drivers of engagement.

　　B．The reason to encourage engagement.

　　C．The importance of the pay level in engagement.

　　D．The survey of work force in a company.

　　答案：A　文章最后一段陈述了“薪水的高低固然重要，却未能跻身敬业的十大动力行列，公司应该访查自己的员工，以便评定员工追求什么。”所以下文应该是向大家列举能促进员工敬业的十大动力。

　　Ⅱ.七选五

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。

　　文章大意：本篇文章是关于青少年要如何赢得别人尊敬和信任的几点建议。首先要学会在家里帮忙做家务，即使从最简单的洗碗叠被做起。其次，要学会负责任，哪怕是自己个人卫生也要做好。最后，要学会独立解决问题。当把这些都做好的时候，人们对你的信任也就随之而来了。

　　1．B　考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句中出现的manners和traits以及后句的句式和F选项的句式以及句中的these manners和traits恰好呼应，语义上也能起到承上启下的作用，所以判断B选项正确。

　　2．D　考查上下文的推理判断能力。前句讲你应该学会自己收拾卫生，而D选项This includes, but is not limited to, your dishes and your room. “这包括在内，但不能局限在收拾自己碗筷和房间上”恰好能承接上文，故D选项正确。

　　3．C　考查上下文的推理判断能力。本段内容是建议青少年要学会做家务活来帮助家人。所以所填句子应该和做家务帮忙有关，而且从段落安排上看，最后一句话应该起到总结概括作用，由此判断C选项正确。句意：“如果你帮忙做家务，那么平时做这种家务的人会很感激。”

　　4．A　考查上下文的推理判断能力。由后句Whether they are basic things, 可以推断前句应该出现they所替代的名词，而根据下文举的例子like brushing your teeth or doing your homework 等可知A选项符合语境，能引领下文。句意：每个人都有某些责任。故A为正确选项。

　　5．F　考查上下文的推理判断能力。在本段中作者建议人们不要轻易向人求助，要在自己努力而未果的情况下去找人帮忙，纵观选项，只有F选项符合语境，能承接上文。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

　　Michael：Could you please tell me more about the homestay family, sir?

　　Teacher：We work with families __1__ enjoy having international students. Our families must meet special requirements before they __2__(invite) to have our international students. We require that the families live in a clean, safe and comfortable area, which is __3__ a reasonable distance of the school, not beyond 30 minutes' traveling time.

　　Michael：Does every student stay with a host family?

　　Teacher：Yes, we try our best to match __4__ of the visiting students with a family.

　　Michael：If I stay with a host family, what should I expect？Teacher：The family will treat you as a guest, and you will be expected __5__(obey) house rules. All families provide a single __6__ shared room and a choice of meals. Students __7__(normal) share the bathroom.

　　Michael：What do you think is the biggest advantage of homestay?

　　Teacher：So far, past experience __8__(show) that it is the most effective way to learn the language. But you have to remember, your host family will have different customs and habits from __9__ you are used to. When in Rome, do __10__ the Romans do.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇情景对话。本对话主要谈到了作为homestay家庭的一些具体要求。

　　答案：

　　1．who/that　考查定语从句。空格处所在句子是一个定语从句，且定语从句的先行词是“families”，在从句中作主语。故填who/that。

　　2．are invited　考查动词的语态。根据上下文的语境可知，“they”与invite之间在逻辑上是被动关系，且说明的是一般的情况。故填are invited。

　　3．within　考查介词。根据下文的“not beyond 30 minutes' traveling time”可知，此处指与学校的距离在一个合理范围内。故填within。within a distance of意为“在……距离之内”。

　　4．each　考查代词。根据上文的“Does every student stay with...”和下文的“with a

　　family”可知，空格处所填词表“每一”的含义，且空格处应填代词。故填 each。

　　5．to obey　考查非谓语动词。expect sb. to do sth.意为“希望某人做某事”。故填to obey。

　　6．or　考查连词。“single”与“shared”之间是选择关系，故填or。

　　7．normally　考查副词。修饰动词“share”应该用副词。故填normally。

　　8．has shown　考查动词的时态。“so far”常常与现在完成时连用。根据前面的“So far”可以推出，此处应填has shown。

　　9．what　考查代词。空格处在此引导宾语从句且在从句中作“to”的宾语。故填what。

　　10．as　考查连词。句意为：入乡随俗。When in Rome, do as the Romans do.是固定的俗语。故填as。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错

　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。

　　增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧)，并在其下面写出该加的词。

　　删除：把多余的词用()划掉。

　　修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

　　注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

　　2. 只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。

　　Early one morning in April, 2017, it was raining hardly. I was seating in my classroom by myself. “We shall soon leave Beijing and return back to Sichuan. You'll say goodbye to your new classmates.”That my father told me the other day sounded once again on my ears.

　　Although I had studied at school for only two months，I real loved everything there. What's more, the teaching conditions here are many better than those in Sichuan. As a child which was born in Sichuan, I knew almost nothing about the world outside. Therefore, after I came to Beijing, I saw so many things I had never seen.

　　答案：

　　loved everything there. What's more, the teaching conditions here are

　　better than those in Sichuan. As a child

　　was born in Sichuan, I knew almost nothing about the world outside. ， after I came to Beijing, I saw so many things I had never seen.

　　1．hardly→hard　hardly“几乎不”；hard“猛力地；沉重地”。

　　2．seating→seated或sitting　seat是及物动词，常使用be seated或seat oneself结构；sit是不及物动词。

　　3．删去back　return与back重复。

　　4．That→What　________my father told me the other day在引导一个主语从句，谓语部分told缺宾语。故其引导词应用what，that不作句子成分，只起连接作用。

　　5．on→in　in one's ears在某人耳中。

　　6．school前加the此处是特指作者所在的学校。

　　7．real→really　修饰动词loved应用副词。

　　8．many→much　much修饰比较级，many无此用法。

　　9．which→who/that　先行词为child，故用who或that引导定语从句。

　　10．Therefore→However　前后句为转折关系。
