Unit 2 Working the land Ⅰ.閱讀理解 (2017遵義第四中學(xué)月考) Every time I lost a tooth I would put it under my pillow at night. The next morning I would wake up to find two coins replacing my tooth. Then Id wonder about the tooth fairy all day. “Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects？” My mom said she didnt know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left us some money under our pillow. But I wanted to find out. So I think it was a good thing that I would lose another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up. That night I lay quietly in my bed, growing sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half opened eyes, I didnt see any feet, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run around and fly right out of my room. She was wearing a shiny green dress. After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow. There were two coins. I had never even felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic. As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didnt exist. It was just a mythical figure of early childhood. I kind of thought it was, but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night? Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me. The moonlight was bright that night and it shone through my window right on her shiny green nightdress. Right then I knew deep down that my mom was the tooth fairy. 1．As a young girl, the author ________. A．was afraid of the tooth fairy B．was interested in the tooth fairy C．knew where the tooth fairy lived D．doubted if the tooth fairy existed 2．The author thought it was a good thing for her to lose another tooth because ________.

A．thought her mother had come B．believed she was in a dream C．was only half awake D．was unable to sleep 答案與解析 本文是記敘文。作者回憶了小時(shí)候一段關(guān)于牙齒精靈的趣事。作者小的時(shí)候，在晚上把掉了的牙齒放在枕頭下面，結(jié)果被小精靈拿走了，卻把錢留在了枕頭下面。等到作者長大了才知道，世界上根本沒有小精靈，而是自己的媽媽拿走了牙齒，把錢放在了枕頭下面。 1．B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Then Id wonder about the tooth fairy all day”可知，作者小時(shí)候?qū)ρ例X精靈很感興趣。故選B。 2．D　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段“So I think it was a good thing...question the tooth fairy when she showed up”可知，作者計(jì)劃不睡覺等著牙齒精靈出現(xiàn)，并向她問問題。由此可推斷，作者認(rèn)為又要掉牙是好事，因?yàn)樗J(rèn)為牙齒精靈會(huì)再次出現(xiàn)。故選D。 3．C　推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“growing sleepy as the night went on”和“Through my half opened eyes”可知，夜越來越深，作者也越來越困，處于半睡半醒的狀態(tài)。故選C。 Ⅱ.完形填空 (2017江西省紅色七校聯(lián)考) Walking through the park one autumn day, I passed some children selling hot chocolate.

Last time, we talked about the general “software” needed to have a __1__ (success) studying experience overseas, __2__ refers to the ability to understand western culture, and problem solving skills when __3__ (face) critical situations, etc. Now, I will dig deeper into the concept of “software”.
