Unit 5 Canada-“The True North”一、閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。Nowadays，especially in China，everything seems to favor social intercourse，such as gatherings of friends，KTV，group travel，dining together，playing cards and mahjong，plus the Chinesestyle“streetcrossing group”. Back home，discussions can still be boisterously carried on within the“circle of friends”of WeChat.However，these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness.Zhu Ziqing，a wellknown professor of Tsinghua University，sighed with emotion：“My loneliness increases as the scene bees much busier.”O(jiān)ne popular song today is also called“A lonely man in crowds”Actually，engaging in social intercourse requires ability，while being alone involves the whole character.These days，it is not easy to calm down totally and return to ones true self.Willpower，intellect and discipline are required.Einstein said：“It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”The“spare time”he referred to could be taken as “spending time by yourself”Lonely life could be either dull，boring and tasteless or abundant，interesting and colorful，depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration.Just as the body constantly requires energy，the mind and soul also demand unceasing inputs.However，information，to be processed and integrated(合并)into knowledge, thoughts and feelings，instead of bustle(忙碌)，seems to be the right condition.Successful careers in all walks of life worldwide have proved that“the soul grows in peace and talent is nurtured in loneliness”In a sense，it may be reasonable to say that “Happiness tends to be shallow while loneliness involves profundity”Man，in fact，needs loneliness more than happy time，and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness.1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “boisterously”in Paragraph 1?Asurprisingly BsadlyCbusily Dpeacefully2What can we infer from the second paragraph?ABeing alone makes people depressed.BSocial intercourse improves our happiness.COne may feel lonely even when surrounded by people.DWe should attend social intercourse to decrease our loneliness.3What can we know from Einsteins words?AYou should be successful if you spend all your time by yourself.BYou should exercise more if you want to keep your minds healthy.CYou will not bee successful if you join in more social intercourse.DYou will be more successful if you can make your lonely time meaningful.4Which may be the best title for this passage?ALive on Your OwnBHappiness and LonelinessCThe Secret of SuccessDPractice Your Social Ability【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文主要討論了孤獨(dú)和幸福之間的關(guān)系。【難句分析】Einstein said：“It is not your working time but your spare time that determines the possibility of whether you will be successful or not.”分析：本句是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。It is.that.是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，對(duì)your spare time進(jìn)行強(qiáng)調(diào)；whether引導(dǎo)賓語(yǔ)從句。譯文：愛因斯坦說(shuō)：“不是你的工作時(shí)間，而是你的業(yè)余時(shí)間決定了你是否能夠成功?！?C考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段第一句“Nowadays, especially in China，everything seems to favor social intercourse，such as gatherings of friends，KTV，group travel，dining together，playing cards and mahjong，plus the Chinesestylestreetcrossing group”及畫線詞所在句可推知，中國(guó)人喜歡社交，即使回到家也會(huì)繼續(xù)忙著在朋友圈里討論，故選C。2C考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段第二句中的“My loneliness increases as the scene bees much busier”和第三句可推知，人們有可能在熱鬧的人群中反而更加孤獨(dú)，故選C。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在孤獨(dú)會(huì)讓人抑郁，第二段并沒(méi)有提到；B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在社交活動(dòng)能夠提高我們的幸福感，這與文章中清華大學(xué)教授說(shuō)的話不符；D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在我們應(yīng)該參加社交活動(dòng)以減少我們的孤獨(dú)，這與第二段第一句“However, these scenes cannot always ease a sense of loneliness”相悖，故排除。3D考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第四段“Lonely life could be either dull, boring and tasteless or abundant，interesting and colorful，depending on ones quality, ambition and inspiration”并結(jié)合愛因斯坦所說(shuō)的話可推知，充分利用孤獨(dú)的時(shí)間，不斷提高自我，這樣成功的幾率會(huì)更大，故選D。A項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在如果你把所有時(shí)間用來(lái)獨(dú)處，你會(huì)成功，這與第三段最后一句“Thespare timehe referred to could be taken asspending time by yourself”不符；B項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在如果你想思想健康就要多鍛煉，文章并沒(méi)有提到；C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)在如果你參加更多的社交活動(dòng)，你就不會(huì)成功，文章中沒(méi)有提到，故排除。4B考查標(biāo)題判斷。根據(jù)最后一段“Man，in fact，needs loneliness more than happy time，and only abundant loneliness can produce quality happiness”并結(jié)合全文的整體內(nèi)容可推知，本文主要講的是孤獨(dú)和幸福之間的關(guān)系，故選B。二、單句語(yǔ)法填空1We choose this hotel because the price for a night here is down to $20, half of _it used to charge.答案：what分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，本句的“half of _ it used to charge”在句中作$20的同位語(yǔ)，由此可知這里要用what引導(dǎo)名詞性從句，作介詞of的賓語(yǔ)，同時(shí)what在賓語(yǔ)從句中又作charge的賓語(yǔ)，因此填what。2My grandfathers collection of paintings can leave a deep _(impress) on all of you.答案：impressionleave a deep impression on sb. “給某人留下深刻印象”。3They built themselves large villas (別墅) in the wooded _(surround) of the town.答案：surroundings此處surroundings為名詞，意為“環(huán)境”。4Little babies are _(tradition) expected to imitate their fathers.答案：traditionally此處副詞traditionally修飾expected to imitate。5The young woman grew up in a _(wealth) family.答案：wealthy形容詞wealthy “富裕的”修飾名詞family。6Children are usually _(terrify) when alone in the dark.答案：terrified形容詞terrified “感到害怕的”，在句中作表語(yǔ)。7Nancys first reaction to the news was a strange _(mix) of joy and anger.答案：mixturea mixture of . “的混合體”。8The faces of four famous American presidents on Mount Rushmore can be seen at a _(distant) of 60 miles.答案：distanceat a distance of 60 miles “在60英里外”。9After a long wait, some of them finally get to stay and settle _ , while others have to pack up and leave.答案：downsettle down 為固定短語(yǔ)，在本句中意為“定居”。10Tom managed _(set) aside a few dollars of his wages each week to buy a puter.答案：to setmanage to do sth. “設(shè)法做成某事”。三、完形填空。閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出可能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。(2018江西大江二模)That was a sunny day.My father and I were on the way _1_ my uncles home.People on the street were walking

Dkeep【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】作者因一件小事和父親在大街上爭(zhēng)吵，致使自己顏面盡失，于是下定決心不再與父親說(shuō)話。但隨著歲月的流逝，作者意識(shí)到是憤怒讓自己忘記了自己最愛的人為自己所做的一切，于是逐漸改變了自己對(duì)父親的態(tài)度。1B根據(jù)語(yǔ)境可知，作者與父親是在去叔叔家的路上。on the way to.意為“在去的路上”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。2D該句中while表示對(duì)比，意為“然而”。此處是說(shuō)作者和父親走得比較匆忙，而街上的其他人走得比較悠閑，邊走邊開心地(enjoyably)聊著天。故選D項(xiàng)。perfectly意為“完美地”；eagerly意為“急切地”；anxiously意為“焦慮地”。3B從下文的I was still left behind可知，父親走得很快，作者試圖趕上他，但是仍然被落在了后面。catch up with意為“趕上”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。make fun of意為“取笑”；make way for意為“給讓路”；get rid of意為“擺脫；除去”。4A根據(jù)第二段開頭的Why do you walk so fast？可知，此處指作者不知道為什么父親走(walked)得那么快。故選A項(xiàng)。5C根據(jù)空后的pletely with sweat可知，由于走得太快，作者氣喘吁吁、汗流浹背。lose ones breath意為“喘不過(guò)氣來(lái)”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選C項(xiàng)。temper意為“脾氣”；confidence意為“信心”；balance意為“平衡”。6C根據(jù)上文中的I began to be angry at him可知，作者對(duì)父親很生氣，認(rèn)為他根本不考慮作者的感受(feelings)。故選C項(xiàng)。belief意為“信念”；behavior意為“行為；舉止”；request意為“請(qǐng)求；要求”。7D上文提到作者很生氣，所以說(shuō)話的聲音應(yīng)該是很大的。根據(jù)第8空后的so loudly也可知答案。故選D項(xiàng)。calmly意為“平靜地”； frequently意為“頻繁地”；softly意為“溫柔地”。8D根據(jù)下文的In fact，I deliberately spoke loudly and.可知，此處指父親埋怨作者說(shuō)話聲音大。故選D項(xiàng)。9A作者責(zé)怪父親走太快，自己跟不上，因此，此處指作者認(rèn)為這都是父親的過(guò)錯(cuò)(fault)。故選A項(xiàng)。cruelty意為“殘忍”；origin意為“起源”；business意為“事情；商業(yè)”。10C作者在埋怨父親，而此時(shí)父親也非常生氣。因此，父親在說(shuō)作者總是責(zé)備(blame)別人。故選C項(xiàng)。enjoy意為“喜歡”；admire意為“欣賞”；abuse意為“虐待；濫用”。11D根據(jù)下文Whatever he said，I quickly answered back.At that time, I was like a wild beast，losing my temper.可知，作者大發(fā)脾氣，與父親在大街上吵了起來(lái)，所以選quarreled，意為“爭(zhēng)吵”。fight意為“打架”；bargain意為“討價(jià)還價(jià)”；consult意為“咨詢”。12C根據(jù)空后的I could feel my face burning可知，和父親吵架引來(lái)很多路人駐足觀看，作者感覺(jué)自己的臉滾燙，因此可推斷，作者感到羞愧(ashamed)。alarmed意為“擔(dān)憂的；恐慌的”；afraid意為“害怕的”；amazed意為“驚奇的”。13B由空后的made me lose face可知，作者覺(jué)得很丟人，因?yàn)榭吹铰啡嗽诔靶λ?。laugh at意為“嘲笑”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選B項(xiàng)。ask for意為“請(qǐng)求；要求”；wait for意為“等待”；aim at意為“針對(duì)；以為目標(biāo)”。14A句意為：我摸了摸我的臉，怒視著他。touched和glared是作者先后做的兩個(gè)并列的動(dòng)作，所以用and連接。15A文中反復(fù)提到angry，通過(guò)對(duì)與父親吵架的描述可知，此處指生氣能讓人忘記你所愛的人為你做的一切。故選A項(xiàng)。16B設(shè)空后的I were not his daughter為虛擬語(yǔ)氣，作者因怒生恨，吵架后不與父親說(shuō)話，就好像自己不是父親的女兒似的。as if意為“好像”，符合語(yǔ)境。in case意為“以防”；unless意為“除非”；after意為“在之后”。17C父親每次打電話時(shí)，作者總是抱怨太忙。busy意為“忙碌的”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選C項(xiàng)。wrong意為“錯(cuò)誤的”；crazy意為“瘋狂的”；innocent意為“無(wú)辜的”。18B眼淚應(yīng)該是從臉上流下來(lái)，所以選face。句意為：但是，當(dāng)我們見面時(shí)，父親那飽經(jīng)滄桑的臉上流下的淚水使我感到內(nèi)疚。19D根據(jù)空后的I realized that I should not hate him可知，作者越來(lái)越理解父親，認(rèn)識(shí)到不應(yīng)該再恨父親，此處強(qiáng)調(diào)的是一個(gè)心理逐漸變化的過(guò)程。gradually意為“慢慢地；逐漸地”，符合語(yǔ)境。故選D項(xiàng)。naturally意為“自然地”occasionally意為“偶然”；obviously意為“明顯地”。20A盡管有時(shí)候父母會(huì)做錯(cuò)事，但是他們希望我們能更好。此處指可能會(huì)做錯(cuò)事，所以選A項(xiàng)。四、單句改錯(cuò)1I caught the sight of an old friend of mine while I was waiting for the bus._答案：去掉sight前的thecatch sight of “看見；瞥見”，為固定短語(yǔ)。2With water is on all sides, the local people have to go out by boat._答案：去掉is逗號(hào)后沒(méi)有連接詞，故“With water on all sides”是with的獨(dú)立主格結(jié)構(gòu)。3Rather than riding on a crowded bus in the morning, I always prefer to ride a bicycle._答案：ridingrideprefer to do A rather than do B “比起做B更喜歡做A”。4After the typhoon, people found some tall trees,measured more than 10 meters, lying on the ground._答案：measuredmeasuringmeasure 表示“某物的長(zhǎng)度為”時(shí)，是連系動(dòng)詞，在本句中，trees和measure為邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故用現(xiàn)在分詞作后置定語(yǔ)。5So far as the eyes can see, nothing is to be seen but sand._答案：SoAsas far as the eyes can see “在目所能及的地方”。五、短文改錯(cuò)A survey (調(diào)查)has recently carried out among the students in our school about whether they would like it if their parents gave birth to a second child.Opinions vary wide from one to another.Most of the students supported the idea.They think that it would be amazing to have a brother and a sister to keep the pany and share secrets with.Besides，we believe a second child would bring lots of funs to the family.However，the rest of the students interviewing hold the opposite view.To start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue whether they have been accustomed to enjoy the whole love from their parents.答案：A survey (調(diào)查)has recently carried out among

start with，raising one child is already a difficult thing and the parents would have to work twice as hard if they had a second child.Whats more，they argue they have been accustomed to the whole love from their parents.解析：A survey和carry out為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以加been。解析：vary是動(dòng)詞，用副詞修飾，所以用widely。解析：這是陳述事實(shí)，用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，將supported改為support。解析：and表示并列，此處句意為選擇而非并列，故用or。解析：keep pany陪伴，陪同。解析：由句意得此處主語(yǔ)為students，所以為they。 解析：fun為不可數(shù)名詞，無(wú)復(fù)數(shù)形式所以將funs改為fun。 解析：student和interview為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用ed形式作定語(yǔ)。解析：whether引導(dǎo)的是讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，而文中是陳述一個(gè)事實(shí)所以將whether刪掉或者改為that。解析：accustom固定搭配be accustomed to doing 所以將enjoy變?yōu)閑njoying。
