Unit 1 Advertising李仕才一、閱讀理解。It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations，sitting on the French­Spanish borderbut then it fell into disrepair.Now，writes Chris Bockman，the building is showing new signs of life.The train station was built in iron and glass，complete with a hospital，a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain.At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king，flaws quickly became obvious.The rail gauges(軌距)were different，so passengers still had to change trains.It made transporting goods too slow.In the early 1930s，as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station.And then things got worse.During the Spanish Civil War，the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者)from bringing weapons in.Later，the French lost interest in the line.When a train derailed on the French side in 1970，that signaled that France abandoned the line.The grand building itself went to rot.The tracks rusted，the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism (故意破壞財物的行為)did the rest.But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it，claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too.If all goes to plan，the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.1The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT _.Aits poor appearanceBdifferent gaugesCthe Spanish Civil WarDslow transporting speed2When the train station reopens，it may celebrate its _ anniversary.A52nd B72ndC94th D89th3What will probably happen to the train station?AIt will be repaired.BIt will be turned into a museum.CIt will be knocked down.DIt will be sold to the French government.4What is the best title for the text?AThe Design of a Train StationBThe War Between France and SpainCThe History of a Train StationDThe “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming Back【解題導(dǎo)語】本文講述了法國和西班牙邊境的一座火車站的歷史變遷?！倦y句分析】But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it，claiming it was a major part of Spanish history.分析：這是一個復(fù)雜的簡單句。buy the place與restore it是并列的不定式短語，作decided的賓語；claiming it was a major part of Spanish history是現(xiàn)在分詞作伴隨狀語，claiming后是一個賓語從句。譯文：但是幾年前，阿拉貢的當?shù)卣疀Q定買下這個地方并且恢復(fù)它，聲稱它是西班牙歷史的重要一部分。1A考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“The rail gauges(軌距)were different, so passengers still had to change trains”可知，軌距不同是造成火車站關(guān)閉的原因之一；根據(jù)第三段中的“During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels(反叛者)from bringing weapons in”可知，西班牙內(nèi)戰(zhàn)是造成火車站關(guān)閉的原因之一；根據(jù)第三段中的“It made transporting goods too slow”可知，運輸速度慢是造成火車站關(guān)閉的原因之一。故選項A不是造成火車站關(guān)閉的原因，所以選A。2C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“But after the day the station was opened in 1928”和第五段中的“If all goes to plan，theTitanic of the Mountains' could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022”可以計算出：2022192894(年)，當其恢復(fù)使用時可以慶祝其94周年紀念日，所以選C。3A考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第五段首句“But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it”可知，幾年前阿拉貢的當?shù)卣徺I并且恢復(fù)該火車站。restore意為“使恢復(fù)，修復(fù)”，所以選A。4D考查主旨大意。根據(jù)全文尤其是第一段中的“the building is showing new signs of life”和第五段中的“If all goes to plan, theTitanic of the Mountains' could be back”可知，選項D能夠概括全文，所以選D。二、單項填空1.I didnt want to drive all the way to Shanghai by myself, so I _ Henry, my American friend, to ride with me.A. confirmed B. consultedC. persuaded D. permitted【答案】C2.Good listening can always show respect, _ understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.A. discourage B. promoteC. balance D. circulate【答案】B【解析】discourage使某人泄氣；promote促進；balance使平衡；circulate流傳。句意：傾聽可以表示尊重，增進理解，改善人際關(guān)系。3.The incident caused a hot discussion on the Internet, but the local government had no immediate _ on it.A. adjustment B. commitmentC. comment D. document【答案】C【解析】adjustment調(diào)整；commitment承諾，奉獻；comment評論；document文件。句意：這件事在網(wǎng)上引起熱烈的討論，但是當?shù)卣⑽囱杆賹λ龀隽嗽u論。4.Our marketing campaign should _ young working couples.A. be acquainted with B. be worried aboutC. be accustomed to D. be aimed at【答案】D【解析】句意：我們的營銷活動應(yīng)該針對年輕的上班夫婦。be acquainted with 與相識，與熟悉； be worried about為而擔(dān)心，憂慮；be accustomed to對習(xí)慣；be aimed at .目的在于，旨在 針對5.When you _ a new word, youd better _ a dictionary.A. come about, refer toB. come across, consultC. come across, look upD. come up, consult【答案】B【解析】come about發(fā)生，產(chǎn)生；come across碰上，遇見；come up被提出；consult=refer to查閱，其賓語是dictionary；look up也有“查閱”之意，但其賓語是word。句意：遇到生詞時，你最好查一下詞典。6.I have just spent a holiday in Hawaii and would like to _ it to anyone who is expecting one.
