Unit 5 First Aid李仕才一、閱讀理解。The English language has an interesting way of classifying words.You might find that a noun acts like an adjective.You know that an adjective modifies(修飾),describing a quality of a noun.For example,you drink a cup of hot tea.The adjective is hot and the noun is tea.What about lemon tea?Lemon is a noun,isn't it?Why is it modifying tea?    English often uses nouns as adjectives to modify other nouns.For example,a car that people drive in races is a race car.A car with extra power or speed is a sports car.Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns.    Did you notice something unusual about the expressions with the noun car?A car used to race other cars is a race car.Both nouns are singular.A car that has power and speed is a sports car.Why is the first noun,sports,plural?A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914.Cars were a new thing then.    There is no rule about whether the attributive noun is singular or plural.Most of the time it is singular.But if the combination of nouns includes a plural noun,it usually stays that way.The result is phrases like ladies room,not lady room,for a room meant for women and girls,and bean soup but not beans soup for a soup made of beans.Some grammar experts think that English speakers are using more plural nouns in this way.    When writing these attributive nouns in English,learners sometimes wonder about whether to use an apostrophe(撇號(hào))to show possession.Is it a ladies' room?No,it is a ladies room.Attributive nouns do not need the apostrophe.So we write Veterans(老兵)Day in American English and not Veteran's Day or Veterans' Day.That means the day is in honor of military veterans,not owned by veterans.1.What's the topic of this text?A.The function of nouns.B.Special kinds of adjective.C.A special use of nouns.D.The use of adjectives.2.Adjectival nouns can be used to describe_.A.adjectivesB.sentencesC.phrasesD.other nouns3.Why is the plural form “sports” is used to describe a noun?A.It is a traditional usage.B.It is a rule of grammar.C.It is a grammar mistake.D.It is a form of stress.4.Which of the following is a correct English expression?A.Ladies' room.B.Veteran's Day.C.Veterans' Day.D.Veterans Day.參考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.A; 4.D解析： 1.主旨大意題。本文談?wù)撁~的一種特殊用法:作定語(yǔ)。由第一段得出。2.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。形容詞性名詞用來(lái)修飾其他名詞。由第二段最后一句Nouns that modify other nouns are called adjectival nouns得出。3.推理判斷題。復(fù)數(shù)名詞sports作定語(yǔ)是一種傳統(tǒng)用法。由第三段倒數(shù)第二句A search of the Internet shows us that people started using this phrase back in 1914得出。4.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Veterans Day“美國(guó)退伍軍人節(jié)”,兩個(gè)名詞之間不是所屬關(guān)系,不能用撇號(hào)。由最后一段得出。二、單句語(yǔ)法填空1It is vital that these forms _ (send) back as early as possible.答案：(should) be sentIt is vital that . “是十分重要的”。其中that從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用“should動(dòng)詞原形”，should可以省略。2_ the aid of our professor, we finished the experiment successfully.答案：Withwith the aid/help of . “在的幫助下”。3You'd better put things back _ place. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find them.答案：inin place “在適當(dāng)?shù)奈恢谩薄?We _ (watch) TV when there was a power failure.答案：were watchingbe doing . when . “正在做這時(shí)”，再由“there was .”可知應(yīng)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，故填were watching。5The new technology, if _ (apply) to rice growing, will help increase the grain output.答案：applied從句為狀語(yǔ)從句的省略形式。The new technology與apply之間為邏輯上的被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故應(yīng)填過(guò)去分詞作狀語(yǔ)。6Men and women should _ (treat) equally in education and employment.答案：be treatedtreat和Men and women在邏輯上存在動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。7His head had struck the wall and _ (bleed)答案：was bleeding此處表示頭部正在流血，前一分句用了過(guò)去完成時(shí)，故此處應(yīng)用過(guò)去進(jìn)行時(shí)，表示過(guò)去某時(shí)正在持續(xù)的狀態(tài)。8Everyone arrived late at the party for _ (variety) reasons.答案：various修飾名詞reasons應(yīng)用形容詞，表示“各種各樣的”，故填various。9Television violence _ (poison) the minds of young people.答案：is poisoning表示現(xiàn)階段正在持續(xù)發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)。10Dozens of people got _ (injury) and many vehicles were set on fire.答案：injuredget injured “受傷”。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。When I was young，I thought that kindness was a beneficial thing.I _1_ that I could just give what I thought others _2_ and I would get a one way ticket to Happyville (快樂(lè)小鎮(zhèn)).
