Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、閱讀理解。Bees play a vital role in the world. Unfortunately, bees are dying by the second. The main purpose of bees is to make honey. Honey, shockingly, does not exist for human consumption; it is essential to the insects. Honeybees store honey in their hives(蜂箱) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period. They collect pollen(花粉) which supplies protein for young bees to grow.According to National Honey Board, the increased production and quality of agricultural crops as a result of honeybee pollination are valued at more than $14.6 billion per year. These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans, and broccoli.So if they are so valuable to agriculture, why do they keep dying off? A key suspect seems to be pesticides(農(nóng)藥). Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides result in the damage to their neurological(神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的) functions, specifically memory or behavior. And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear and leave behind a queen, plenty of food and a few nurse bees to care for the remaining immature bees and the queen. There are several other causes of the decline of bees, including the destruction of natural habitats, like woodlands, forests, and other habitats for bees. Climate change is also a factor in the decline of the wild bee population. Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants. Pesticides are used in both industrial practices and even in your home, so it is best to find organic seeds and weed killers.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。蜜蜂在生物世界里起著重要的作用，但是由于農(nóng)藥的濫用，蜜蜂正在大批死亡。本文給出了增加蜜蜂數(shù)量的方法和建議。1Why do honeybees store honey in their hives?ATo provide enough honey for humans to consume.BTo draw protein out of honey for young bees.CTo help attract other insects and make hives stronger.DTo strengthen bee muscles and heat hives in winter.D解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第三句“Honeybees store honey in their hives(蜂箱) in order for the bees to have energy for their flight muscles and for heating the hives during the winter period.”可知，蜜蜂儲(chǔ)藏蜂蜜是為了增強(qiáng)飛行肌肉的力量，在冬天為蜂箱加熱，故D項(xiàng)正確。2Apples and beans are mentioned in the third paragraph to show that Abees supply human beings with basic foodBbees mainly live on these agricultural cropsCbees are of great importance to fruits and vegetablesDbees can bring in more money for farmers every yearC解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的“These insects are responsible for over 70 of the fruits and vegetables we eat today, including apples, grapes, coffee, beans, and broccoli.”可知，該段提及蘋果和豆類旨在說明蜜蜂對(duì)水果和蔬菜的重要作用，故C項(xiàng)正確。3What is most likely to cause the worker bees to leave their hives behind?AThe lack of food.BThe abuse of pesticides.CThe fighting among bees.DThe destruction of the habitats.B解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的“Honeybees who are exposed to pesticides.And thats why the majority of worker bees disappear”可知，農(nóng)藥的濫用導(dǎo)致了工蜂離開蜂箱，故B項(xiàng)正確。4What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?AAnother way to save bees.BOther tips for choosing seeds.CMore methods to plant green organic fruits.DCauses of the decline in the wild bee population.A解析：推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段的第一、二句“Actually, there are a variety of methods to help the bee population grow. One way is to start your own organic garden by planting beefriendly plants.”可知，該段主要介紹了幫助蜜蜂增加數(shù)量的方法之一：種植對(duì)蜜蜂無害的植物。據(jù)此可以推斷，下文將介紹其他的幫助增加蜜蜂數(shù)量的方法，故A項(xiàng)正確。二、單句語法填空1We had no _ (hesitate) in helping the sufferers when the terrible earthquake hit the country.答案：hesitationhave no hesitation in doing . “毫不猶豫地做”。2_ (classify) so many books in libraries usually takes them lots of time.答案：Classifying句子中缺少主語，且指一般性情況，故應(yīng)填動(dòng)名詞classifying，在句中作主語。3Generally _ (speak), youths of eighteen are too young for such work.答案：speakinggenerally speaking “一般來說”。4What you said has led to the _(mistake) belief that smoking is not harmful.答案：mistaken修飾名詞belief應(yīng)用形容詞，故填mistaken “錯(cuò)誤的”。5The school makes it clear that essays from online should not be passed off _being written by the students.答案：aspass . off as . “把看作或冒充成”。6_if we invited them to come here for a party instead?答案：What固定句式what if “倘使/如果將會(huì)怎樣？”。7Parents should teach their children to behave _(proper) in public.答案：properly此處應(yīng)用副詞來修飾動(dòng)詞behave, 故填properly。8They made rude _(remark) about her appearance.答案：remarksmake remarks/a remark about . “對(duì)發(fā)表評(píng)論”。9The information you gathered is _ great help to me.答案：of“of抽象名詞”相當(dāng)于其對(duì)應(yīng)的形容詞，of great helpvery helpful “非常有幫助”。10_(take) according to the instructions, the medicine has no side effect.答案：Taken所給動(dòng)詞與其邏輯主語medicine之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作狀語。三、完形填空。My daughter(now 18)was born with a hemangioma tumor(血管瘤)by her eye.At first it was small, and hardly _1_.After five

football star，John.Im you will succeed.As for me，teaching my dream job.The reason for this is I would like to share my with my students and help them solve problems.Besides，staying with students helps to keep me young.To realize my dream，I have to devote to my study and enter normal university.What will you do for your dream and who is your favorite football player?Yours，Li Hua第一處：考查形容詞。此處修飾主語“I”，指人，應(yīng)用excited。第二處：考查固定搭配。dream of/about doing sth.意為“夢(mèng)想做某事”，為固定搭配。第三處：考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。look forward to doing sth.意為“期望做某事”，為固定用法。第四處：考查形容詞。根據(jù)“Im”可知，動(dòng)詞be后應(yīng)接形容詞作表語。第五處：考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)和主謂一致。全文用的是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)；且主語為“teaching”，所以應(yīng)把was改為is。第六處：考查名詞性從句。此處引導(dǎo)表語從句，從句中不缺成分，故用連詞that。第七處：考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。knowledge是不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式。第八處：考查代詞。devote oneself to sth.意為“致力于某事”；主語為“I”，所以反身代詞應(yīng)用myself。第九處：考查冠詞。normal的讀音不以輔音音素開頭；且此處泛指進(jìn)入一所普通的大學(xué)。故用不定冠詞a。第十處：考查形容詞的比較等級(jí)。favourite意為“最喜歡的”，無比較等級(jí)或最高級(jí)形式，所以去掉most。6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
