Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”*閱讀理解?！癏ow do you account_for your remarkable achievements in life？”Queen Victoria of the UK asked Helen Keller.“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf，you were able to achieve so much？”Ms.Kellers answer is a tribute(致敬)to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to American speaker Zig Ziglar，Anne Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelessly“insane” by her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally，Anne would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope，however，and she made it her work to show love to the child.Every day she visited Anne，and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Anne could recover，if only she were shown love.Eventually，doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate，they now noted gentleness and love.They moved her upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless”child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she，herself，was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her，disciplined(管教)her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon(燈塔)of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an unmunicative child into a kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan，the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”But if it had not been for a kind and dedicated nurse，the name of Anne Sullivan would have remained unknown.1What does the underlined part“account for”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?AshowBproveCexplain Dpresent2What do we know from the third paragraph?AAnne Sullivan had very normal behavior.BAnne Sullivan was ignored by everyone.CAnne Sullivan was kept away from her parents.DAnne Sullivan was believed to have a mental problem.3What would be the best title for the text?AThe Power of LoveBMaking a DifferenceCA Good TeacherDRemarkable Achievements【解題導(dǎo)語】本文主要介紹了一個(gè)有奉獻(xiàn)精神的護(hù)士用自己的愛挽救了海倫凱勒的老師Anne Sullivan，而她又成就了偉大的海倫凱勒的故事。【難句分析】Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life；but it was a loving nurse who first believed in little Anne and lovingly transformed an unmunicative child into a kind teacher.分析：本句中it was.who.是強(qiáng)調(diào)句，強(qiáng)調(diào)的部分是“a loving nurse” ，transform.into.意為“把變成了”。譯文：Anne Sullivan在海倫的生命中創(chuàng)造了奇跡，但是正是富有愛心的護(hù)士第一次相信小安妮，并慈愛地把一個(gè)寡言少語的小孩變成了一個(gè)親切的老師。1C考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“How do you explain the fact that even though you were both blind and deaf, you were able to achieve so much？”，并結(jié)合第一句的語境可推知，account for與explain同義，故選C。2D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段第二句和第三句“She was almost sightless and was，at one time，diagnosed as hopelesslyinsaneby her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution”，并結(jié)合對(duì)本段的整體理解可推知，當(dāng)時(shí)人們認(rèn)為Anne Sullivan患有精神疾病，故選D。A項(xiàng)表示Anne Sullivan的行為非常正常，這與第三段倒數(shù)第二句“Occasionally, Anne would violently attack anyone who came near”相悖；B項(xiàng)表示Anne Sullivan被大家都忽略了，這與下文中提到的護(hù)士對(duì)她的關(guān)愛不符；C項(xiàng)表示Anne Sullivan遠(yuǎn)離她的父母，文章中并沒有提到，故排除。3A考查標(biāo)題判斷。根據(jù)全文尤其是對(duì)文章最后一段的整體理解可知，如果沒有Anne Sullivan，海倫凱勒就不會(huì)為人所知；如果沒有那個(gè)富有愛心的護(hù)士，Anne Sullivan也不會(huì)被人知曉，這些都體現(xiàn)了愛的力量，故選A。*語法填空 Once upon a time, there was a king in a big, rich country.
