　　课时作业6　Cultural relics

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbours down the block. No specific purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become.

　　When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 1960s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed and almost nobody worked. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide­and­seek.

　　The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldn't wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else.

　　Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that it's surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely lost this association. In my childhood, it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visit someone else's home on Sunday. But now the question is, “What do you plan to do this Sunday？” The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race to jetting to Montreal for lunch. If_one_were_to_respond,_“I'm_making_a_Sunday_visit_to_family，”_such_an_answer_would_feel_strange,_an_echo_from_another_era.

　　I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the state's powerfully rural cast (特质) still harbors at least remnants (剩余部分) of the ethic of yesterday's America，where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries (反复无常的情况) and a challenging environment.

　　1．The writer's general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when ________.

　　A．everyone would pay a visit to some relative far away

　　B．everyone seemed to be free and could have some leisure

　　C．Dad was not at work while Mom was busy cleaning the house

　　D．nearly every adult would go to church and children were not at school

　　2．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?

　　A．People nowadays prefer staying at home on Sunday.

　　B．People in the city dislike being disturbed on Sunday.

　　C．Such answers are rarely heard in our modern society.

　　D．Visiting someone on Sunday might take a lot of time.

　　3．From the last paragraph we may infer that people in Maine ________.

　　A．suffer more from economic depression and the changed environment

　　B．have abandoned their tradition and lived an absolute new life

　　C．have tense relationships with each other

　　D．always help each other when they are in need

　　4．What is the writer's attitude towards the Sunday today?

　　A．Unsatisfied.B．Confused.

　　C．Respectful.

　　D．Thankful.

　　答案与解析

　　1．B　细节理解题。由文章第二段和第三段描述可知。

　　2．C　句意理解题。该句大意为：像“在星期天去拜亲访友”这样的回答现如今已经很少听到了。

　　3．D　推理判断题。根据文章最后一句中的“...where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic vagaries (反复无常的情况)．..”可知，在 Maine 人们互相帮助。

　　4．A　观点态度题。根据文章内容可知，通过对比过去的和现在的星期天生活，作者对目前的星期天生活感到不满。

　　1．B　根据上文的“throwing little stones”及下文的“a porch window carelessly”的暗示，并结合10空后的“I was sorry for having broken her window”可知，应选B项。

　　2．C　空处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，因此用 What。

　　3．A　作者害怕会被房子的主人抓住，然而几天后当作者确信自己没有被发现时，他又为给她造成的损失感到内疚。前后情况出现了转折，因此选A项。

　　4．B　根据下文作者下定决心省钱弥补自己造成的损失可知，作者为此感到内疚。guilty “感到内疚的”，符合语境。

　　5．C　此处表示像往常一样，作者去送报纸的时候，她面带微笑地和作者打招呼。as usual “像往常一样”。

　　6．A　参见上题解析。smile to “对……微笑”，符合语境。

　　7．C　作者面对她的时候感到不自在，不舒服，所以决定省钱补偿她的损失。uncomfortable “感觉不自在的”，符合语境。

　　8．B　此处指弥补损失，因此选B项。compensate for “补偿”。

　　9．C　作者把钱放进信封里，说明三周后作者成功节省了7美元。manage to do sth.表示设法完成某事。

　　10．B　此处表示作者在便条上作了“解释”。

　　11．A　作者希望这7美元能够支付修理费。cover “够付”，符合语境。

　　12．C　作者通过写信的方式道歉是想避免当面道歉的尴尬。free of shame “避免丢脸”。

　　13．A　作者迫不及待地想摆脱愧疚，再次自然地正视老太太的眼睛。look straight into one's eyes 表示“直视某人的眼睛”。

　　14．B　第二天送报纸的时候，作者能够在她对自己微笑时也回以微笑。in turn “依次，转而”； in return “作为回应”； on the contrary “恰恰相反”； by contrast “通过对比”。故选B项。

　　15．C　她感谢作者为她“服务”，给她送报纸。

　　16．B　根据下文的“out of the bag”可知，她给了作者一袋饼干。

　　17．B　作者从袋子里抽出信封，因此用 pulled “抽出”。

　　18．C　作者没想到信封里有7美元和一张便条，因此感到震惊。shocked “震惊的”，符合语境。

　　19．A　根据下文的“reading ‘I am proud of you’”可知，信封里有张便条。note “便条”。

　　20．C　根据便条上的话，作者“知道”那是真正的原谅。

　　Ⅲ.语法填空

　　Jonny: Hey! I'm just practicing Tai Chi(太极). Would you like to join me?

　　Peter: I know nothing about it. Is it difficult?

　　Jonny: It seems easy, but you need a lot of practice. You just follow me like this.

　　Peter: OK. Don't laugh __1__ me. I may look funny.

　　Jonny: Bend your knees slightly and reach out your arms like tree branches, naturally and __2__ (soft). Try to keep your body straight. Move slowly, then be sure to keep your balance and don't let your body shake.

　　Peter: I cannot control my body well. My legs become __3__ (pain).

　　Jonny: Keep __4__(hold) your position for a while. It helps develop your strength and flexibility. Raise your leg and let __5__ stay in the air for seconds.

　　Peter: I feel my legs shaking. I cannot do this any longer.

　　Jonny: Be __6__ (patience)! Tai Chi is called “shadow boxing” in English. It asks you to act like water: to be flexible as well __7__ strong. In real competition, a Tai Chi master borrows the strength of the competitor and uses this energy to fight back. The __8__ (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit. He controls you!

　　Peter: Unbelievable! Oh..., __9__ you don't mind, I'll stop and take a deep __10__.

　　答案与解析

　　1．at　laught at 是固定搭配，意为“嘲笑”。

　　2．softly　and 是解题的关键：and 前面是副词形式，该空与之并列，因此也应该是副词。形容词soft 的副词形式是softly。

　　3．painful　become是系动词，后面需要接形容词作表语。名词pain 的形容词形式是painful。

　　4．holding　keep 后需接动名词作宾语。keep doing sth. 一直做某事。

　　5．it　根据句意可知此处应该填入指代leg 的代词。句意：抬起腿，让它(it)在空中停一会儿。

　　6．patient　形容词作表语。

　　7．as　as well as 是固定搭配，意为“也，还”。

　　8．harder　这里是“the＋比较级．..，the＋比较级．..”句式，表示“越……就越……”。

　　9．if　根据句意可知应填if 引导条件状语从句。句意：如果你不介意，我要停下来……。

　　10．breath　根据上下文语境可知，Peter 和 Jonny 边练习太极边聊天。练习对于初学者来说，难度大，有可能会体力不支，因此需要停下来深吸一口气。take a deep breath 深吸一口气。

　　Ⅳ.短文改错
