Unit 4 Making the news
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.So much of interest________that most visitors simply run out of time before seeing it all.
A.offers Beijing
B.Beijing offers
C.does Beijing offer
D.Beijing does offer
解析 此题考查了so...that倒装句型的用法。句型so+adj./adv.+that和such+形容词+名词+that“如此……以至于……”中,若把“so+adj./adv.”“或such+adj.+名词”提到句首,则主句需部分倒装,从句不倒装。
答案 C
2.He________of________he had said at the meeting.
A.was accused;that
B.was accused;what
C.was charged;what
D.accused;what
解析 固定词组accuse sb of sth而介词后往往接what引导的宾语从句表示“某内容”“某状态”“某情况”,故答案为B。
答案 B
3.He glanced out of the window,________that the post office was still closed.
A.noted
B.having noted
C.to note
D.noting
解析 非谓语动词作状语时,其逻辑主语是句子的主语。note和he之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词;又因为note的动作是紧跟在glance之后,所以不用完成时。
答案 D
4.What are you doing out of bed,Tom?You’re ______ to be asleep.
A.supposed
B.known
C.thought
D.considered
解析 句意:你不睡觉在干什么,汤姆?你应该睡觉。be supposed to do sth.意为“(按规则、惯例等)应该做某事”。如:Am I supposed to clean all the rooms or just this one?我是应该打扫所有的房间,还是只这一间?be known to be被知道是;be thought to be被认为是;be considered to be被认为是。
答案 A
5.We'll do everything we can to assist you________out who has stolen your new watch.
A.to finding
B.in findingC.with finding
D.find
解析 assist sb in doing...意为“在……方面给予某人帮助”。句意:我们将做我们力所能及的一切来帮你查清是谁偷了你的新表。
答案 B
6.I guess we’ve already talked about this before but I’ll ask you again just______.
A.by nature
B.in return
C.in case
D.by chance
解析 考查固定短语的用法。句意:我估计我们以前讨论过此事,不过我再问你一次只是以防(免)我记错了。by nature 生来,本来;in return作为报答;in case以防万一,以免;by chance偶然地,意外地。由上下文的句意可以看出,in case为最佳答案。
答案 C
7.Greater efforts to increase agricultural production must be made if food shortage_____avoided.
A.is to be
B.can be
C.will be
D.has been
解析 句意:如果要避免食品短缺,就必须作出更大的努力来增加农业产量。条件状语从句中,要用一般现在时表示将来,故排除C项;B、D两项与句意不符。“be+不定式”可用于条件状语从句中,表示“如果想……”,故答案为A。
答案 A
8.________meet his sister at the airport,he had to get up early.
A.So as to
B.In order to
C.So that
D.In order that
解析 此处考查目的状语,所以不选C、D。so as to一般不用于句首,因此答案选B。
答案 B
9.What worries me most is that my daughter________most of her spare time________playing games on the computer.
A.concentrates;on
B.concentrates;in
C.focuses;to
D.focuses;in
解析 句意:令我最担心的是我女儿把她大部分的业余时间都用来在电脑上打游戏。concentrate...on...“把……集中在……上”,为固定搭配,据此排除B项。focus与on搭配,意为“集中于……”,据此排除C、D项。故A项正确。
答案 A
10.Our teachers don’t______us smoking cigarettes in the school.
A.agree
B.approve of
C.agree to
D.promise
解析 approve of意思为“赞成”,后接名词或动名词,本句中us为smoking的逻辑主语。注意以下结构:agree to do sth.,agree with sb.to do sth.,promise sb.to do sth.。
答案 B
11.He ________ to save the dying man,but failed.
A.managed
B.attempted
C.risked
D.assisted
解析 句意:他努力想把那个垂死的人救过来,但没有成功。attempt to do=try to do。而manage to do表示“做成某事”;risk doing“冒险做”。
答案 B
12.When I visited her,she was ________ in writing a lecture speech on Chinese History.
A.absorbing
B.concentrated
C.devoted
D.occupied
解析 考查动词辨析。be occupied in doing sth“集中精力”。其他三个词的用法为be absorbed in/ concentrate on/ devote...to,故在此处的结构不正确。
答案 D
13.The policeman stopped him when he was driving home and ________ him of speeding.
A.charged
B.accused
C.blamed
D.warned
解析 考查动词辨析。accuse sb of (doing) sth“指控某人做了某事”。句意:他开车回家时被警察拦住,指控他超速驾驶。
答案 B
14.We hired a boat ________ we could go fishing on the weekend.
A.in order to
B.so as to
C.in order
D.so that
解析 后面是从句,所以排除动词不定式in order to和so as to,而in order后面跟从句要使用that。
答案 D
15.Would it be possible to make an______in advance to have my hair cut tomorrow?
A.appointment
B.arrangement
C.schedule
D.engagement
解析 appointment“约会”;make an appointment“预约”;arrangement“排列,安排”;schedule“时间表,进度表”;engagement“婚约,诺言”。句意:我可不可以提前预约明天来理发?
答案 A
Ⅱ.阅读理解
For my grandmother’s 70th birthday,my family and I visited South Korea.While there,I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.
I was surprised by how different Korea’s public high schools are from America’s.Korean high schools can be allgirls,allboys or coed (男女同校的) unlike our standard coed high schools.There are three grades:“go 1(10th)”,“go 2(11th)” and “go 3(12th)”.“Go” is the first syllable of the word “godeunghakkyo”,which,simply translated,is “high school”.
In America,unless you want to go to a private school,you don’t have to take an entrance exam.In Korea,however,students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.
Another difference I couldn’t help but notice was the students’ appearance.With very few exceptions,all wear uniforms.A name tag (标牌) with the student’s name,grade and homeroom number must also be worn.Girl’s skirts can’t be above the upper part of the knee,and it is forbidden to dye(染) your hair or wear accessories (装饰品) except small earrings.There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness,and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style,socks and shoes.
The final difference was the setup of the classes.There may be 40 students in a classroom,but the number can be less or even more,depending on the population of the town or city.Although there are many students per classroom,they are very close,which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects.There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms.They just have tenminute breaks between subjects.In each class,students are ranked by their grades.This causes strict competition,and Korean students do a lot of studying.To help them,all schools have extra study classes after school.One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays.Although it’s only a half day,I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.
Korea’s public high schools are clearly different from America’s.I had imagined them to be just like our schools,but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了在作者眼中韩国高中和美国高中的不同之处。
1.How many main differences are mentioned between Korea’s public high school and America’s?
A.3. B.4.
C.5. D.6.
解析 细节理解题。本文主要说明了美国和韩国高中的不同点,作者采用的总分总的文章结构,第二、三、四、五这四段分别说明他们的不同之处,总共有4处。
答案 B
2.It seems that the writer________.
A.is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea
B.is fond of Korean students’ appearance
C.prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea
D.feels it common to have lessons on weekends
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中倒数第二句中“One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America...”可知,作者喜欢在美国中学的生活,因为韩国高中星期六还要去学校,而美国不用。
答案 C
3.What does the underlined word “setup” in paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.Arrangement. B.Size.
C.Number. D.Outline.
解析 词义猜测题。第一句话为本段的中心句。根据其后的内容可知,本段主要介绍了韩、美两国高中在班级人数、作息等方面组织(方式)、安排的不同之处,因此选A。
答案 A
4.According to the rules,the students of Korea can________.
A.go to different high schools without exams
B.wear any clothes except uniforms at school
C.attend different classes as they like
D.have different hair styles
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句话“...it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style,socks and shoes.”可知,韩国学生唯一的自由就是可以选择发型、袜子、鞋子,故答案选D,即他们可以有不同的发型。
答案 D
