第一部分 必修二 Unit 1
Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.Programmes, ________(design) to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world.
答案:designed 考查design的非谓语动词形式。design与其修饰的programmes之间构成被动关系,且动作已经完成,故用过去分词。
2.—What do you think of the book?
—Oh, excellent. It is worth ________(read) a second time.
答案:reading 句意:——你认为这本书如何?——喔,不错!值得再看一遍。be worth doing本身就表示被动含义,即“值得做某事”。
3.You may not understand what they have done, because they belong________ a younger generation.
答案:to 句意:你们不理解他们所做的,因为他们属于年轻一代。belong to“属于”,没有进行时,也没有被动语态。
4.—Do you need any help, Lucy?
—Yes. The job is ________ than I could do myself.
答案:more 答句句意:是的,这项工作我自己做不了。more than超出;胜过。
5.Visitors are often very ________(amaze) to hear about the ________(amaze) love story in Lijiang.
答案:amazed;amazing 考查形容词词义。第一空用amazed(惊异的,惊奇的)来描述人(visitors);第二空用amazing(令人吃惊的)来描述物(love story)。
6.The boy didn't go home all night, ________ made his parents worried.
答案:which 考查关系词的选择。句意:这个男孩整夜都没有回家,这使他的父母很担心。which在此引导非限制性定语从句,指代前面整个主句的内容。
7.Some teenagers remain ________(seat) at our computer for hours every day, which made their parents worried.
答案:seated 考查非谓语动词。句意:有些青少年每天都在电脑旁坐上好几个小时,这让他们的父母很担心。动词seat意为“使某人就座”,此处表示坐着的状态,要用其过去分词形式。
8.We pursue happiness, thinking one day we will find it. But ________(rare) will we find it by seeking it.
答案:rarely 句意:我们追求幸福,想着总有一天会找到幸福。但是,我们几乎不能通过一味追求幸福而找到幸福。否定副词放在句首时,句子要部分倒装,所以填rarely。
9.Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical, and this special chemical, ________ turn, affects our brains,making us feel happy.
答案:in 考查介词短语。句意:维生素D帮助我们的身体形成一种特殊的化学物质,并且这种化学物质反过来影响我们的大脑,使我们感到高兴。in turn相应地,转而。
10.I never doubted________you could succeed in setting a new world record.
答案:that 考查宾语从句连接词。句意:我毫不怀疑,你一定能创造新的世界纪录。由句意可知,选that,只起连接作用,无词义。记住:doubt用于否定句、疑问句时,连接词一定是that。例如:There is no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
Does style really sell?
How can the appearance of a product be more important than what it does? The battle between form and function rose again when James Dyson,British inventor of the Dyson vacuum (真空) cleaner that has sold in millions around the world, resigned as chairman of London's Design Museum. It is widely believed that Mr. Dyson felt that the museum put too much stress on style at the expense of serious industrial design.
Mr. Dyson accused the museum of not keeping true to itself. He may be right, but these days, museums everywhere can no longer afford to be unique centers of scholarship and learning. Among competition for sponsorship, they must use exhibitions of populist culture, nice cafes and shops or, best of all, a new building by Frank Gehry to increase visitor numbers.
On the one hand, some producers can be too oldfashioned and too concerned with the importance of product engineering and the functionality of their goods. On the other hand, there are those who believe that how a product looks is more important. Design is indeed a broad term,involving both function and form. Typically, in any given product area, it changes from the former to the latter. Clothing is a good example. But surely you would have to be a very shallow person to think something's appearance is more important than what it does.
Today nearly all goods at any given price point do much the same job. So almost the only way producers can differentiate their products from those of their competitors is to create some sort of emotional connection with the consumer, which could be through the visual appeal of the product or its packaging,or the imagery (意象) created by advertising.
And what of the Dyson vacuum cleaner? Mr. Dyson may believe that people buy these machines because of the graphs showing their superior suction, but most vacuum cleaners do a good job; the main reason people pay extra for a Dyson vacuum cleaner is that it is a vacuum cleaner with a trendy brand. With its inside workings exposed, it is a bit like a Richard Rogers building with all its pipes shown in bright colors on the outside instead of being hidden inside. Functional it may be,but it is a bit of a trick,too.
文章大意:英国吸尘器发明家Dyson因强烈反对设计博物馆太过注重外在的风格样式而辞职,他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方。
1.Mr. Dyson left the Design Museum because he thought the
museum ________.
A.didn't increase the number of visitors
B.couldn't provide scholarships for learners
C.wasn't loyal to its original purpose of learning
D.didn't have great appeal for serious industrial design
答案:C 推理判断题。由第一段的最后一句话和第二段的第一句可知,他辞职是因为设计博物馆太注重风格样式。他认为这里应该是研究学问的地方,他们的做法违背了这个初衷。
2.Speaking of clothing, the underlined word “latter” refers to ________.
A.affording protection B.indicating one's identity
C.providing warmth D.making someone beautiful
答案:D 词义猜测题。根据文章内容可知,这里的latter指的是前面一句话中的form,即外形。因此D项正确。
3.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.A product with convenient packaging sells well.
B.The majority of consumers prefer to buy branded goods.
C.Most similarly priced products are of a comparable standard.
D.Emotion contributes much to the development of advertising industry.
答案:C 细节理解题。由第四段的第一句可知,大多数指定价格点的产品都做着同样的工作,即大多数相似价格的产品都有可比的标准。故C项正确。
4.The author believes that people buy the Dyson vacuum cleaner
because ________.
A.it has very good suction
B.it is fashionable
C.it sells well around the world
D.it is invented by James Dyson
答案:B 细节理解题。由最后一段的“the main reason people pay extra... with a trendy brand”可知,人们买这种真空吸尘器是因为它是一种时髦的品牌,trendy与fashionable同义。因此选B项。
5.What is the author's attitude towards the form of a product?
A.Optimistic. B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving. D.Objective.
答案:D 推理判断题。由最后两段的内容可知,作者认为产品的外形还是很重要的,但也是个小花招,因此作者对产品的外形持客观的态度。选D项。

.语法填空
(2017·贵阳市二模)
W:Hi, Mr. Lee, I am __1__ reporter from the New York Times. It will be great __2__ you can
tell me some information about chopsticks, __3__ as their origin and the materials they are made
from.
M:Good question. Chopsticks originated in China, but they are __4__(wide) used in many Asian countries. Chopsticks may be made of any of the __5__(follow) materials: bamboo, wood, gold, silver, ivory, or plastic, and they may be __6__ round or square.
Some chopsticks are decorated __7__ colored pictures. Ordinary chopsticks used in Chinese homes are made of wood or bamboo. In ancient times, the rich used jade or gold chopsticks to display their wealth. Many kings and emperors used silver chopsticks to see if their food had been poisoned.
W:OK, thank you. And I'd like to know why Chinese people use chopsticks. __8__ not knives and forks, like Americans?
M:Oh, that is a good question. I think Chinese people choose chopsticks, rather than knives and forks, because Chinese people, under the influence of Confucianism, have traditionally __9__(consider) knives and forks as symbolizing a type of violence. On the other hand, chopsticks reflect __10__ (gentle) and kindness. And maybe Chinese food simply seems to taste better when eaten with chopsticks.
文章大意:本文是一篇对话。对话主要谈论Lee先生向纽约时报记者介绍中国的筷子文化,包括筷子的原料、图案以及中国人不使用刀和叉作为餐具的原因。
答案:
1.a 考查冠词的用法。句意为:你好,Lee先生,我是纽约时报的一名记者。reporter为可数名词,在句中意为“一名记者”,表泛指。故用不定冠词a。
2.if 考查连词的用法。句意为;要是你能告诉我一些关于筷子的信息就太好了。if引导条件状语从句。故用if。
3.such 考查连词。根据下文中的“their origin and the materials they are made from”可知,空格处表示列举。故用such as。
4.widely 考查词性转换。分析该句结构可知,空格处修饰动词“used”,故应用wide的副词形式。be widely used为固定搭配,意为“被广泛使用”。故用widely。
5.following 考查词性转换。句意为:筷子可以由以下材料制成。空格处修饰名词“materials”。故用follow的形容词形式following。
6.either 考查连词的用法。either... or...为固定搭配,意为“或者……或者……”;此处指筷子或被制成圆形的,或被制成方形的。故用either。
7.with 考查介词的用法。句意为:一些筷子用彩色画装饰。be decorated with意为“用……装饰”。故用with。
8.Why 考查疑问副词。根据上文中的“why Chinese people use chopsticks”可知,该句句意为:为什么中国人不像美国人那样使用刀和叉?空格处与“not”连用意为“为什么不”。故用Why。注意首字母大写。
9.considered 考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“have”可知,该句的时态为现在完成时,故空格处应用过去分词形式。故用considered。
10.gentleness 考查词性转换。句意为:另一方面,筷子反映了亲切和友善。根据该句中的“and kindness”可知,空格处与名词“kindness”对等,应用名词。故用gentle的名词形式gentleness。
