Unit 1 Friendship一、閱讀理解。Spider(蜘蛛) webs have something in mon with guitar strings. The long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate(振動). They move back and forth, or from side to side. So do webs made by spiders. The lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. This movement gives the small creature information about what landed on the web.Spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. The animals build webs with their own soft, naturallymade silk. And much like playing the strings of a guitar, a spider can send out vibrations across its web over many different frequencies(頻率). Spiders catch their food, usually insects in their webs. They make small movements, which spread across their webs. The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the webmaybe a possible mate，or something tasty to eat.Vibrations are not just used to spot what is for dinner. They are also important in courtship(求愛), so lots of males will actually create a very specific kind of musical pattern which the females can use to determine not only that theyre a male, but theyre the right species, and whether they might want to mate with them as well.Spiders make their own vibrations to find out the condition of the webs. By controlling the tightness of the material, they can effectively control how information is getting to them when they hang out in the middle of the web.Spiders have a special ability to shape the physical nature of their selfmade materials and creations. Scientists think that spider silk may have changed over time for this purpose.【解題導語】本文介紹了蜘蛛吐出的蛛絲可以傳播不同頻率的振動，這些振動讓它們知道蜘蛛網(wǎng)上落下了什么東西并且這些振動在求愛中也非常重要。1How does a spider feel that an insect is caught in the web?AThrough its sense of sight.BThrough vibrations of its web.CThrough different frequencies.DThrough a musical pattern.B解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“The vibrations can give the spider details about what is caught in the web”可知，蜘蛛可以通過蛛網(wǎng)的振動知道有東西落到蛛網(wǎng)上了。故選B項。2What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?AInsects. BStrings.CSpiders. DVibrations.A解析：代詞指代題。根據(jù)第二段的“Spiders catch their food. across their webs.”可知，蜘蛛在它們的蛛網(wǎng)上捕食，一般捕到的都是昆蟲。它們制造出傳遍整張蛛網(wǎng)的小振動。所以They指代的是昆蟲。3Which of the following statements is TRUE?ASilk produces vibrations as the strings of a guitar do.BFemale spiders make special sounds to attract a partner.CHunting will be hard for spiders if the silk is loose.DThe tightness of silk cant be adjusted once its made.C解析：細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段的“By controlling the tightness of the material, they can effectively control how information is getting to them”可知，蛛網(wǎng)的緊密度對蜘蛛捕獵至關重要，故選C項。4The text mainly tells readers _ Aguitars and spider webs are similarBspider webs have various functionsCspiders are skillful in hunting insectsDvibrations are vital in a spiders lifeD解析：主旨大意題。根據(jù)整篇文章的敘述，尤其是第二段中的最后一句可知，D項正確。二、單句語法填空1It was when I got back to my apartment _I first came across my new neighbors.答案：that本句是強調(diào)句。被強調(diào)部分是時間狀語，故應填that。2Lily cant fall asleep, extremely _ (concern) about the result of her maths test.答案：concerned短語be concerned about . “擔憂，掛念”，本句中逗號后沒有連詞，故逗號后的部分為狀語，此處應用形容詞短語作伴隨狀語。3Its no pleasure _ (go) camping on such a foggy

ground.答案：waiting時間狀語從句的主語和主句主語一致，且從句謂語部分含有be動詞，故從句中省略主語和be動詞，填waiting。while waiting可看作是while I was waiting的省略。10The windows havent been cleaned for at least a year and are _ (dust) now.答案：dustydusty
