　　课时提升作业(二十)

　　必修4　Unit 5

　　Ⅰ. 阅读理解

　　One of the things we have sometimes at work are called“morale days”. We bring in things and ideas to make the office more fun. I was looking for something fun and different and that’s how I discovered the“Smile”cards a website offers. I ordered some and used them to do some of the kindness ideas which I had read about and turned them into Thanksgiving ideas. I wanted to give thanks to my co-workers for all the help and support they have given me since I started working there.

　　Since I began my employment, I have had a series of events that have changed my life, including the loss of one of my daughters last year and most recently the loss of my brother. Through these tragedies(悲剧), my co-workers have continued to show me a huge amount of care and understanding. Often, during these times of need they have filled in for me when I was not able to come to work, or have offered kind gifts when I was in short of money, and have showed a deep and loving understanding when I was feeling very low and discouraged.

　　They have truly been my main strength in being able to overcome some very serious problems I have faced during the last couple of years. Most employers or co-workers might have turned the other cheek and chose not to be involved or have looked down on me in judgment during these times, however, not once have they given up on me.

　　This group of people are truly part of a unique and rare breed that still tries hard to give values such as respect, honor, spirit, and honesty not only into the workplace, but also within each other. I have worked in several different types of firms and never met a more devoted and loving set of people to work with. I just wanted to share this story to offer my thankfulness for such acts of kindness and recognize this group of people for all their hard work and understanding.

　　In this day and age, it is so nice to know that such values are still at work. It is much too easy for most people to be understood by their own difficulties to be able to truly make such a powerful impact on other persons’ life.

　　【文章大意】文中作者感谢自己的同事在自己遇到困难时悉心相助, 带给她力量和温暖, 让她感叹同事之间的美好友谊。

　　【文章大意】本文通过狮子和报恩的老鼠的故事, 向人们揭示了: 有些朋友也许平时看似微不足道, 但却有可能在我们身处困境的时候提供巨大的帮助。

　　1. 【解析】which。考查关系代词。which引导非限制性定语从句, 修饰整个主句, 并在从句中作主语。

　　2. 【解析】Losing。考查现在分词。lose和逻辑主语he之间是主动关系, 和谓语动词caught基本是同时发生的动作, 应用现在分词的一般式。

　　3. 【解析】its。考查物主代词。代替本句主语mouse。

　　4. 【解析】kindness。考查名词。物主代词(your)应修饰名词。

　　5. 【解析】that。考查连词。so . . . that引导结果状语从句。

　　6. 【解析】However。考查副词。上下文之间是转折关系, 且空后有逗号, 应用however。

　　7. 【解析】was caught。考查语态。catch和主语he之间是被动关系, 且是发生在过去的事情, 应用一般过去时的被动语态。

　　8. 【解析】so。考查并列连词。由句意“猎人们想把狮子活着带给国王, 所以他们就把狮子拴在树上, 然后去找马车”可知, 上下文之间是因果关系, 故用并列连词so连接。

　　9. 【解析】by。考查介词。pass by从旁边经过, 是固定搭配。

　　10. 【解析】nodded。考查时态。由and thanked可知, nod和thank是并列谓语动词, 讲述的是发生在过去的事情, 用一般过去时。

　　Dear Mike,

　　I’m glad to learn that you and your parents will come to Beijing for a two-day trip, and I’d like to serve as your guide.

　　Born and growing up in Beijing, I know the city quite well. Above all, I can speak English quite fluently, so we can communicate with each other easily. I know you have been longing for a visit to the Olympic venues like the Bird’s Nest and the Water Cube, therefore, I’ll first take you there. And the next day we can go to the Palace Museum, whose splendid construction will surely catch your imagination.

　　Of course, you won’t lose the chance to be on the Great Wall. In a word, you’ll have a good time with me as your tour guide.

　　I’m looking forward to your reply.

　　Faithfully,

　　Li Hua
