Unit 2 Healthy eating*閱讀理解。Many a young person tells me that he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people，but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame，not the long hours alone at a typewriter.“Youve got to want to write，” I say to them，“not want to be a writer.”The reality is that writing is a lonely，private and poorpaying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20year career in the US.Coast Guard to bee a freelance writer，I had no prospects at all：what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and left like a genuine writer.After a year or so，however，I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering，what if? I would keep putting my dream to the testeven though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope，and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1The passage is meant to _.Awarn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceBadvise young people to give up their idea of being a professional writerCshow young people its unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fameDencourage young people to pursue a writing career2“.people who die wondering，what if？”(Para.3) refers to “those _”Awho think too much of the dark side of lifeBwho regret giving up their career halfwayCwho think a lot without making a decisionDwho are full of imagination even upon death3The underlined word “shadowland” in the last sentence refers to “_”Athe wonderland one often dreams aboutBthe bright future that one is looking forward toCthe state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reachedDa world that exists only in ones imagination【解題導語】本文作者首先介紹了寫作的艱難，旨在告訴讀者如果想成為作家，要耐得住寂寞，堅持理想才能成功。長難句分析：When I left a 20year career in the US.Coast Guard to bee a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all：what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.(第二段第三句)譯文：當我離開美國海岸警衛(wèi)隊20年的職業(yè)生涯，成為一名自由撰稿人時，我一點前途都沒有：我所擁有的就是一個朋友，他在紐約一棟公寓大樓里給我找了一個房間。詞匯積累：reality n現(xiàn)實 reward v回報career n事業(yè)，職業(yè) barely adv.僅僅，幾乎不1A寫作意圖題。The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poorpaying affair.(第二段第一句)譯文：事實上，寫作是一種孤獨的、私人的、報酬不高的事情。解題思路：根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容和關(guān)鍵句可知，文章旨在警戒年輕人一個成功的作家要經(jīng)歷的各種困難。故選A。2B推理判斷題。I would keep putting my dream to the test.(第三段倒數(shù)第二句)譯文：我會繼續(xù)嘗試我的夢想解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可知，作者不想中途放棄，此處的“those”是指那些后悔中途放棄的人。故選B。3C詞義猜測題。 .even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.(第三段倒數(shù)第二句)譯文：即使這意味著生活在不確定性和失敗的恐懼中。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可知，此處的“shadowland”指的是在最終達到目的之前的不確定的狀態(tài)。故選C。*語法填空。No one loves me more than my parents, especially my father.

By his own talents and years of efforts, he _4_ (provide) his family with a good social position and a _5_(relative) rich life. Besides, he lives in harmony with others and never quarrels with anyone, so people from all walks of life e to my house, from _6_Ive gained lots of social experience. But at home he is a strict parent who is hard on me and has high _7_(expectation) of me. I can see that my idling time away _8_(hurt) him deeply, while if I have done something great and meaningful, such as _9_(write) a book, he will be more excited than me.

篇章導讀：本文是一篇記敘文。沒有人比“我”的父母，尤其是“我”的父親，更愛“我”了。他會為“我”虛度光陰而傷心，也會為“我”做了有意義的事而高興。為了他，“我”總是提醒自己不要半途而廢。1with考查介詞。此處用“介詞with賓語(名語短語)賓補(介詞短語)”構(gòu)成with的復合結(jié)構(gòu)。2to approach考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處應(yīng)用不定式和hard一起作賓語補足語。3talented考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾名詞man應(yīng)用talent的形容詞形式talented，作定語。talented “有才能的，有才干的”。4has provided考查動詞的時態(tài)。分析語境可知，此處應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時表示父親多年的努力和辛苦對現(xiàn)在產(chǎn)生的積極影響。5relatively考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾形容詞rich應(yīng)用副詞。6whom考查非限制性定語從句的引導詞。先行詞是people，指人，關(guān)系詞在介詞后面，作賓語，故填whom。此處表示“我”從來自各行各業(yè)的人那里獲得豐富的社會經(jīng)驗。7expectations考查名詞的數(shù)。expectation作“期望”講時，通常用復數(shù)形式；have high expectations of sb.“對某人寄予厚望”。8hurts考查動詞的時態(tài)和主謂一致。此處表示“我”虛度光陰深深地傷害了他。結(jié)合上下文時態(tài)判斷，此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時，動名詞的復合結(jié)構(gòu)“my idling time away”作主語，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，故此空應(yīng)填hurts。9writing考查非謂語動詞。此處在“such as”后面作賓語，故應(yīng)用動名詞。10will考查助動詞。此句是否定副詞never位于句首的倒裝句，故此空應(yīng)填入助動詞或情態(tài)動詞，結(jié)合語境可知，此處表示“我”的決心和承諾，故用助動詞will。*完形填空。閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項。(2018泰安一輪復習檢測)Though Dad looked

I want to have a pen friend, whod better a girl in her early ， and with interests similar to mine.

I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours，Li Hua難項分析：第一處：去掉about或ifwhether考查賓語從句的連接詞。由介詞about可知，應(yīng)用whether引導賓語從句，介詞后的賓語從句一般不用if引導。也可刪去about，由if引導該賓語從句。第五處：BesideBesides考查副詞。besides在此處的意思是“此外”，beside是介詞，意為“在旁邊”，根據(jù)語境可知，應(yīng)把Beside改為Besides。第十處：learninglearn考查情態(tài)動詞的用法。此處的動詞和前面的improve并列，位于情態(tài)動詞后，共同作賓語從句的謂語，故把learning改為learn。*
