Unit 3 puters一、閱讀理解Mahendra, a former senior officer at the State Bank of India, talks about his disabled and wounded dogs like a father about his childrenwith the same love, affection, and warmth. Hes a well­known animal rights activist, the secretary at People for Animals (PFA). But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals. It was this love that led him to establish Indias first shelter home for dogs living with disabilities. It all started in 1998 when, while taking a midnight walk, Mahendra came across a very weak dog on the street, whose bones were seen under its skin. Mahendra decided to feed it and for the next couple of days it became the centre of his life, until the night when he found it dead. Since then, Mahendra started providing treatment to all wounded and sick dogs he came across. After some time, somebody told Mahendra about PFA, Indias largest animal welfare organization, chaired by Mrs Maneka Gandhi. Mahendra contacted her and, impressed by the work he was doing, Mrs Gandhi asked him to start a PFA chapter in Ahmedabad. Thus, in 2014, he started the shelter. It took a long time for Mahendra to find land where the shelter could be set up. Finally, Ramesh Bhai Patel, a farmer from a village named Jundal, agreed to give his land for nothing. Along with a team of four doctors and many volunteers, the shelter now has twenty­five dogs that were unable to walk at all when they were brought in. Today, theyre slowly healing. Dogs that have healed with proper treatment are sent back to where they came from if the environment there is safe. However, the shelter will be home to the blind dogs for all their lives, says Mahendra. The shelter runs on the money ing from Mahendras own pocket. There have been some financial crunches now and then but Mahendra is determined that no matter what challenges e their way, theyll fight through.1.From Paragraph 1, what can we know about Mahendra?A.His affection for animals.B.His love for senior people.C.His care for disabled people.D.His devotion to protecting his children.2.Mahendra decided to do something for animals because of _.A.the death of a homeless sick dogB.his meeting with a sick dog one nightC.the encouragement of Mrs GandhiD.his contact with the organization PFA3.In his effort to build the shelter, Mahendra _.A.spent much money hiring a landB.received little support from othersC.got a free land from a farmerD.was financially supported by the government4.What does the underlined word “crunches” in the last paragraph mean?A.Aids.B.Markets.C.Services.D.Difficulties.參考答案： 1.A; 2.A; 3.C; 4.D解析： 1.細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第1段“But nothing explains Mahendra better than his love for animals.

promised由主句謂語動詞的時態(tài)及從句的時間副詞before可知，本從句的謂語動詞應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時，且they和promise之間存在被動關(guān)系，故填have been promised。2_(person), I think he is a very good man, but you may not agree.答案：Personally副詞personally “就我個人而言”，相當(dāng)于personally speaking。3It wont be long _we know the result of the experiment.答案：beforeIt wont be long before . “不久之后就”，是固定句式。4He was _(total) uninterested in sports.答案：totally應(yīng)用副詞修飾形容詞uninterested，故填totally。5An hour later, I woke up suddenly with the _(solve) clearly in mind.答案：solution由空前the可知此處應(yīng)用名詞solution “解決方法”。6A man stood up and crossed his arms over his head, _ (signal) that he was strongly opposed.答案：signalling句中已有謂語動詞stood和crossed，由空前逗號知應(yīng)用非謂語動詞形式，且signal與邏輯主語A man之間是主動關(guān)系，且signal和句子謂語stood up及crossed所表示的動作同時發(fā)生，因此填signalling。7Several problems like those _(arise) at the power plant so far.答案：have arisen由“so far”可知應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時。8The students are looking forward to having an opportunity _(explore) society for reallife experience.答案：to explorehave an opportunity to do sth. “有機會做某事”。9The law needs to be _(simple)答案：simplifiedneed to do sth. “需要做某事”，由設(shè)空前的be動詞及句意可知，此處需用動詞的過去分詞構(gòu)成被動語態(tài)，故填simplified。10We received 400 _(apply) for the job.答案：applications由修飾限定詞400可知，此處應(yīng)填名詞，且用其復(fù)數(shù)形式。三、完形填空A taxi driver taught me a

Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 2 Its understandable, but if youre willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. 3 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best oute would be for your well-being. 4 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance.
