Unit 2 Poems一、閱讀理解。Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains.The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.Lots of stores，hotels，and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds.Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)that must be maintained.Unfortunately，these systems are starting to break down.Its not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Calvin，a National Park Service worker.The park is not only old but worn out.Two or three times as many visitors e every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon.The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors.Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.Why hasnt the National Park Service kept up the park repairs？There is a lack of money.The United States has 378 monuments，parks，and wilderness areas.Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs.It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses.When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club.The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.1According to the text，the mountains in Yosemite look splendid when they are appreciated from _.Athe bottom of the valleysBthe

Club.(倒數(shù)第二段第三句)譯文：當(dāng)公園工作人員開始拓寬道路的時候，他們被Sierra俱樂部強行阻止了。詞匯積累：maintain v保持，維持claim v宣稱wear out用壞，破損1A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.(第一段第二句)譯文：從山谷底部望去，群山是一道壯麗的風(fēng)景。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可知，從山谷底部看，Yosemite的山脈看起來很壯麗。故選A。2C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施)that must be maintained.(第一段最后一句)譯文：此外，水、道路和其他服務(wù)系統(tǒng)是必須維護(hù)的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施的一部分。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句及第二段第一句可知，在美國像Yosemite這樣的國家公園很難滿足游客的需求，因為它們的服務(wù)系統(tǒng)經(jīng)常出問題。故選C。3B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。Two or three times as many visitors e every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.(第二段最后兩句)譯文：每年有兩到三倍的游客到這兒來。公園需要應(yīng)付太多的游客了。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句可知，Yosemite國家公園的主要問題是游客太多，過度擁擠。故選B。4A推理判斷題。A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.(最后一段)譯文：Sierra俱樂部的律師Julia Olson認(rèn)為，基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施需要搬離Yosemite國家公園。這樣一來，擁擠的公園就不會有太大的壓力了。解題思路：根據(jù)關(guān)鍵句及第五段最后兩句可推知，Sierra俱樂部可能是一個環(huán)保組織。故選A。二、單句語法填空1Is there anything _ particular that you want to talk about?答案：inin particular為固定的介詞短語，作后置定語，修飾anything，意為“特別的”。2If we _ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.答案：had exchanged該句為錯綜時間虛擬條件句。由last week可知，從句表示與過去事實相反，故應(yīng)填had exchanged。3Although _ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.答案：teased主語she與tease之間為被動關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用過去分詞作狀語。4This is a poem that perfectly _ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels.答案：conveys由主句謂語動詞is和從句中的feels可以判斷用一般現(xiàn)在時。定語從句的先行詞為a poem，為單數(shù)形式，故從句謂語動詞也應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式conveys，該從句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的結(jié)構(gòu)。5She always exchanges words _ her neighbours.答案：withexchange . with . “和交換”。6Since then it _ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.答案：has transformed由since then可知，句子應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時。7In some places women are expected to earn money _ men work at home and raise their children.答案：whilewhile “而，然而”，可用于表示兩種情況的對比。8With something important _ (talk) about with you, you must stay here.答案：to talk該句為“with賓語to do”復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)，to do表示將來的動作。9He just took _ for granted that he would pass the exam.答案：ittake it for granted that . 為常用句式，意為“認(rèn)為是理所當(dāng)然的”。10I think her _ (translate) of the article is much better.答案：translation由her可知，應(yīng)填所給詞的名詞形式translation，意為“翻譯；譯文”。三、完形填空。(2018遼寧大連雙基檢測)I always had a dream.In it，I was a little girl again，rushing about，trying to get _1_ for school.Deep inside I knew _2_ it came from.It was some unfinished _3_ in my life.As a kid I loved school.Most of all I _4_ to receive my

After registered in the classroom，the volunteer took me to my dormitory. Altogether I had five roommates，two of which arrived later.I got to know my new roommate immediately. Although I was quite unwilling to say“Goodbye” to my father，but he had to leave to home. I suddenly realized I had grown up and that I had to look after me and live independently.Not until then I know my senior high school life had real begun.【答案】It was on a warm autumn day that my father and I into my new high school. After in the classroom， volunteer took me to my dormitory. Altogether I had five roommates，two of arrived later.I got to know my new immediately. Although I was quite unwilling to say“Goodbye” to my father，/ he had to leave home. I suddenly realized I had grown up and that I had to look after and live independently.Not until then I know my senior high school life had begun.第一處：walkwalked。考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)“It was on a warm autumn day”可知，事情發(fā)生在過去，故用一般過去時。第二處：registeredregistering。考查動名詞。after是介詞，后跟名詞、代詞或動名詞作賓語，故用動名詞形式。第三處：thea?？疾楣谠~。volunteer是可數(shù)名詞，且第一次在文中出現(xiàn)，故用不定冠詞修飾。第四處：whichwhom?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，應(yīng)用whom引導(dǎo)非限定性定語從句，在從句中作介詞of的賓語，修飾先行詞five roommates。第五處：roommateroommates?？疾槊~復(fù)數(shù)。由上文的“I had five roommates”可知，室友不止一個，故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。第六處：刪除but或?qū)ut改為yet?？疾檫B詞。在英語中，although和but不能同時出現(xiàn)在一個句子中，故刪除but。也可將but改為yet。補充：此處也可將Although刪掉，但是語意上沒有修改but好。第七處：leave后的to改為for。考查介詞。leave for意為“前往”，為固定詞組，符合語境。第八處：memyself?？疾榇~。與句子主語I呼應(yīng)，應(yīng)用反身代詞，意為“照顧好自己”。第九處：then后加did?？疾榈寡b句。not until置于句首時，常采用部分倒裝，即把助動詞放在主語之前。由時間狀語then和下文的時態(tài)可知，此處用一般過去時，故用did。第十處：realreally?？疾楦痹~。修飾動詞應(yīng)用副詞，故將real改為really。
