Unit 3 Travel journal*閱讀理解There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other forts of life,one bees happy and the other bees unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure of society,offend(hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature,such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批評(píng)) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit,unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong,but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them,and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them,and no one treats them with more than the most mon politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections,no one will defend or excuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not,it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them.Otherwise,it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,especially when one bees mixed up in their quarrels.1.People who are unhappy_.A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” means “_ ”.A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.tend to scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life3.In this passage,the writer mainly_.A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD.tells people how to be happy in life參考答案： 1.D; 2.B; 3.C解析： 生活中有些人擁有相同的健康、財(cái)富和生活條件,但由于考慮事情、人物、事件的角度不同,一些人感到幸福,而另一些人則感到不幸福。由于這些不幸福的人處處冒犯別人,其結(jié)果只能是處于被孤立的境地。1.D 推理判斷題。從第二段第三句話“Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可以看出另一些人感到不幸福的原因。2.B 詞義猜測(cè)題。從該短語后的“.offend (hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可以猜出 “sour the pleasure of society” 的正確含義。3.C 主旨大意題。本文主要講的是那些感到不幸福的人處處冒犯別人,若長(zhǎng)此以往,則只能處于被孤立的境地,所以他們應(yīng)改變自己的習(xí)慣。*語法填空Over the years, I have met some interesting people. Two of _1_ most interesting people were two elderly sisters, Joan and Bernice, _2_ way of talking about people inspired me.It was always a _3_ (pleasant) to visit these two sisters.

she？”可知，此處應(yīng)用is。7how考查賓語從句的連接詞。how引導(dǎo)賓語從句且在從句中修飾形容詞wonderful。8them考查代詞。介詞about后應(yīng)跟代詞的賓格形式且表示“他們”，故填them。9toward(s)/to考查介詞。attitude toward(s)/to sb.

Dgifts【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者的母親喜歡給別人贈(zèng)送禮物來表達(dá)自己的愛意。她用自己的行動(dòng)表達(dá)了愛，傳播了生活的美好。1A根據(jù)空后的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，母親的給予是不分場(chǎng)合的，即給予的場(chǎng)合不重要。故A項(xiàng)符合語境。2C根據(jù)該句“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”并結(jié)合常識(shí)可知，送禮物要根據(jù)別人的喜好，所以作者的母親會(huì)想別人喜歡什么。故選C項(xiàng)。3A根據(jù)“She was always thinking about who might _2_ what”和空前的“Creativity”可知，作者的母親經(jīng)常思考，所送的禮物既要有新意又要很體貼。thoughtfulness意為“體貼，關(guān)切”；sympathy意為“同情”；justice意為“公平”； authority意為“權(quán)威”。故選A項(xiàng)。4B根據(jù)第一段的第一句“My mother was a gift giver”可知，作者的母親是一個(gè)給予者；結(jié)合該句中的“Creativity and _3_ went into the gifts she gave，and she_4_ a thankyou note”可知，她很欣賞感謝便條。故B項(xiàng)正確。5C根據(jù)該句中的“Once she sent out notes to her own children and grandchildren who had not acknowledged gifts，_5_ that they were now on herFecal Roster(黑名單)”可知，有一次她給收到禮物卻沒有表達(dá)感謝的孩子和孫子發(fā)了紙條，紙條上說他們現(xiàn)在在她的“黑名單”上。assume意為“假設(shè)”； abuse意為“濫用”；state意為“陳述，說明”；correct意為“糾正”。故選C項(xiàng)。6D根據(jù)該句中的“she had received a proper thank you”并結(jié)合上文可知，母親不會(huì)將孩子們(的名字)從“黑名單”上刪除，直到她收到一句謝謝。故選D項(xiàng)。7A根據(jù)上文可知，作者的母親送禮物的時(shí)候，希望得到一句謝謝。send意為“發(fā)送”；purchase意為“購(gòu)買”；conduct意為“進(jìn)行”；obtain意為“獲得”。故選A項(xiàng)。8B根據(jù)第一段第二句中的“Christmas，birthdays，anniversaries or no occasion at all”可知，不只是在節(jié)假日，母親在很多情況下都會(huì)準(zhǔn)備禮物；結(jié)合該句中的“shed give you another gift the next_8_ she had”可知，她會(huì)在下一次有機(jī)會(huì)時(shí)贈(zèng)給你另一件禮物。B項(xiàng)意為“機(jī)會(huì)”，符合語境。9B她認(rèn)為沒有禮貌是你的問題，而不是她的問題。得到禮物不回謝應(yīng)該是沒有禮貌的行為，故B項(xiàng)符合語境。10C根據(jù)空后的“all of us would gather in the driveway as they unloaded luggage”可知，作者的父母是開車過去的。drive over意為“驅(qū)車前來”，符合語境，故選C項(xiàng)。11A根據(jù)該句中的“There was always something for the kids”及下文可知，他們總是給孩子們帶一些東西，通常是一些小玩具或者是自制的餅干。故選A項(xiàng)。12C根據(jù)該句中的“a couple of little toys or a big _12_ of homemade cookies”及常識(shí)可知，餅干是放在盒子之類的容器(container)里的。tank意為“(貯放液體或氣體的)箱”，cage意為“籠子”，holder意為“持有者”，均不符合語境。故選C項(xiàng)。13D根據(jù)該句和前一句“They werent gifts for particular occasions”可知，它們不是為特殊場(chǎng)合而準(zhǔn)備的禮物，只是(simply)關(guān)于“難道生活不美好嗎？”的禮物?！癐snt life great？” gifts可以理解為“彰顯生活美好的禮物”。故選D項(xiàng)。14D一個(gè)春天，當(dāng)作者的父母來拜訪時(shí)，母親遞給作者一個(gè)禮物包。結(jié)合第一段中的“My mother was a gift giver”可知，這里指“禮物包”。故選D項(xiàng)。15A根據(jù)空后的“A Special Daughter.Youve.and Love”并結(jié)合該句可知，禮物包里面是一幅畫，畫上寫著下文中的幾句話。read“寫著”，符合語境。16D此處表示，你為我們的生活帶來歡笑和歡樂，對(duì)我們的愛如此之深。由常識(shí)可知，此處表示孩子為父母帶來歡聲笑語。故選D項(xiàng)。17B根據(jù)該句中的“The most precious things we can _17_ for you are the things you have given us”可知，父母希望子女得到的是子女給予他們的，即歡聲笑語和愛。故選B項(xiàng)。18C根據(jù)上文中的“Youve _16_ laughter and joy to our lives and so much love to our hearts”及空后的“Love”并結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知，孩子可以為父母帶來幸福和愛。assistance意為“援助”；privilege意為“特權(quán)”；happiness意為“幸?！?；satisfaction意為“滿意”。故選C項(xiàng)。19D根據(jù)本文第一句“My mother was a gift giver”并結(jié)合上下文可知，母親是一個(gè)極好的禮物贈(zèng)送者。故選D項(xiàng)。20A根據(jù)該句中的“but the best gifts we will always remember her for were her love for_20_ and her love for us”可知，此處表示我們永遠(yuǎn)記得她給的最好的禮物是她對(duì)生活的熱愛和她對(duì)我們的愛。從文中作者母親的行為可以看出作者的母親對(duì)生活的熱愛。故A項(xiàng)符合語境。*短文改錯(cuò)Li Ming is a friend of mine. Im glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat twoyears before. He got tired so easy that he couldnt take exercise, that made him very upset. Later, he realized unless he went on like that, he would end up achieve nothing. So he made up his minds to make a change. He went running every morning and played the basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables or less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overe it with great determination and strong willpower.答案：Li Ming is a friend of mine. Im glad he changed greatly in the past two years. I clearly remember he was quite fat two years . He got tired so that he couldnt take exercise, made him very upset. Later, he realized he went on like that, he would end up nothing. So he made up his to make a change. He went running every morning and played basketball every afternoon. Besides, he followed a diet of more vegetables less meat. Gradually he began to lose weight. He is now an energetic boy in good health. So when faced with problems, we should overe with great determination and strong willpower.難項(xiàng)分析：第一處：changed前加has考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)時(shí)間狀語in the past two years可知，此處表示從過去開始發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，并對(duì)現(xiàn)在造成了影響。因此，應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)。故在changed前加has。第二處：beforeago考查副詞。before指從過去某刻起若干時(shí)間以前，常與完成時(shí)連用，ago指從此刻起若干時(shí)間以前，常與過去時(shí)連用。根據(jù)上下文可知，此處講述的是過去的事情，故將before改為ago。第五處：unlessif考查連詞?！癶e went on like that (他繼續(xù)像那樣)”是“he would end up . nothing”的條件，因此應(yīng)用if引導(dǎo)條件狀語從句。故將unless改為if。*
