模塊6U1一、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)。Many years ago，when we were a young couple with two small children，aged 2 and 4，we were practically impecunious.My inlaws lived from hand to mouth，so we didnt expect any help from them.My parents lived a great distance away，and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation.My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck，carrying groceries for local shopkeepers，but it was constantly breaking down.It took almost all the money we had to have it fixed.The truck was also the only means of transportation for us.We lived in the countryside，and we always used the back door because the driveway led to it.One winter evening，I stepped outside to take a bag of trash to the barrel and almost tripped over something.It was nearly dark，and I had to bend down to see what it was.I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food.It was heavy，so I called my husband to carry it into the house.Once inside，we discovered two loaves of bread，some butter，several cans of vegetables，a can of orange sauce，and a large turkey.There was so much that I couldnt remember it all，but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinnereverything except potatoes.A little while later I remembered that I hadnt taken the trash to the barrel.By now it was dark，so I had to turn on the yard lightand thats when I spotted a small bag of potatoes sitting on the porch.That dinner was the best I could remember.We werent able to thank our donators，though，because we never found out who had been so generous in helping a struggling young family.Whoever it was，we are forever grateful.1Which of the following can replace the underlined word “impecunious”in Paragraph 1?AGenerous.

was so much that I couldnt remember it all，but it was everything we needed to fix a wonderful dinnereverything except potatoes.分析：該句由but連接的兩個(gè)分句構(gòu)成，其中第一個(gè)分句用了so.that.結(jié)構(gòu)，表示“如此以至于”；第二個(gè)分句中we needed to fix a wonderful dinner為省略了關(guān)系詞that的定語(yǔ)從句，修飾先行詞everything。譯文：有如此多的東西以至于我都記不全了，但除了土豆，我們準(zhǔn)備一頓豐盛的晚餐所需要的東西都有了。1C考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“My parents lived a great distance away，and I was too ashamed to let them know about our situation”可知，“我”的父母住在很遠(yuǎn)的地方，“我”羞于讓他們知道我們的處境；結(jié)合該段中的“when we were a young couple with two small children，aged 2 and 4，we were practically impecunious”可知，我們是有著兩個(gè)孩子的年輕夫妻，據(jù)此可以推知，我們的日子過(guò)得相當(dāng)貧窮，才會(huì)羞于讓遠(yuǎn)方的父母知道我們的情況。據(jù)此可以判斷，畫(huà)線詞意為“貧窮的”，故C項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)意為“慷慨的，大方的”，B項(xiàng)意為“和諧的，和睦的”，D項(xiàng)意為“固執(zhí)的”，都與語(yǔ)境不符。2C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第一句的“My husband was trying to earn a living with an old pickup truck，carrying groceries for local shopkeepers”可知，“我”的丈夫用一輛舊卡車為當(dāng)?shù)氐牡曛魉拓浿\生，故C項(xiàng)正確。3B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段最后兩句“I could hardly believe my eyes.There sat a large basket loaded with food”可知，看到一籃子的食物，“我”幾乎不能相信自己的眼睛；據(jù)此可以判斷，作者很驚訝，故B項(xiàng)正確。A項(xiàng)意為“她感到惱怒”，C項(xiàng)意為，“她感到害怕”，D項(xiàng)意為“她感到欣慰”，都與第三段最后兩句的語(yǔ)境不符。4A考查標(biāo)題判斷。通讀全文可知，本文主要講述了“我”和丈夫有兩個(gè)孩子，生活貧困，但羞于將處境告訴父母。丈夫用一輛舊卡車送貨謀生。一天晚上，“我”在家門(mén)口發(fā)現(xiàn)一籃子豐盛的食物，那一餐令“我”終生難忘。“我”將永遠(yuǎn)感謝那位送食物給“我”家的人。據(jù)此可以判斷，A項(xiàng)最能概括文意，體現(xiàn)文章主旨，故A項(xiàng)正確。二、單項(xiàng)填空1.As

BvaluedCmaintained Dpromoted【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了作者在醫(yī)院做義工的經(jīng)歷，老人的善良和快樂(lè)讓作者領(lǐng)悟到健康是福的道理。1B上文提到作者在醫(yī)院做義工，下文又提到分享故事，由此可知，此處指“見(jiàn)到”許多了不起的人。故選B項(xiàng)。2A從下文16空前的“old ladys”可知，此處指“上了年紀(jì)的”。故選A項(xiàng)。3C從語(yǔ)境可知，此處指作者作為醫(yī)院的義工，通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)的“病人”。故選C項(xiàng)。4B上文提到作者通常幫助那些準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)的病人。結(jié)合Instead“反而”可知，此處老人并不是準(zhǔn)備離開(kāi)，而是想去禮品店。故選B項(xiàng)。5C從下文7空前的“As I pushed her around”可知，此處指“輪椅”。故選C項(xiàng)。6D前一句提到“當(dāng)我們到達(dá)禮品店時(shí)，商店還沒(méi)有開(kāi)門(mén)”，可以推斷此處指30分鐘的“等待”。故選D項(xiàng)。7C從空后的“happy to be out of her room”可知，此處指“高興”。故選C項(xiàng)。8A上文提到“she looked at everything”，接下來(lái)應(yīng)是“選擇”。故選A項(xiàng)。9C結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知，此處指老人要求作者推著她朝巧克力的方向走去。故選C項(xiàng)。10D根據(jù)空后的“all the different chocolate arrangements”可以推出，此處指作者幫老人“瀏覽”了所有不同的巧克力的布置。故選D項(xiàng)。11B在作者幫老人瀏覽完后，“最終”老人做出了決定。故選B項(xiàng)。12A上文提到老人購(gòu)買(mǎi)了三種不同盒子的巧克力并讓作者在上面寫(xiě)上數(shù)字。接下來(lái)是老人向作者解釋為何這樣做。故選A項(xiàng)。13D老人解釋說(shuō)護(hù)士們?nèi)绱司牡卣疹櫵?，所以她為輪班的護(hù)士“買(mǎi)”了巧克力。故選D項(xiàng)。14C當(dāng)作者他們給當(dāng)前值班護(hù)士巧克力時(shí)，值班護(hù)士轉(zhuǎn)而給了作者一些。故選C項(xiàng)。15B從下文17空前的“who got so much joy from life”可知，此處指“微笑”。故選B項(xiàng)。16A結(jié)合上文老人的行為不難看出，老人是一個(gè)善良的人。故選A項(xiàng)。17C此處指作者的感慨：能和從生活中得到如此多快樂(lè)的人在一起本身就是一個(gè)“禮物”，和上文第一段的“It was a gift to.people”相呼應(yīng)。故選C項(xiàng)。18D此處指作者從做義工的經(jīng)歷中“學(xué)習(xí)”到，健康常常把人們聚集在一起。故選D項(xiàng)。19A上文中作者提到健康，接下來(lái)說(shuō)，“健康”是福，符合語(yǔ)境。故選A項(xiàng)。20B此處指待在健康被如此“重視”的地方和其他事情不同，空處與空后的“appreciated”并列。故選B項(xiàng)。四、短文改錯(cuò)。I came to the US as a exchange student a year before.There are four people in my host family.They are Mr.Garavalia，his wife and his child.The host family has a magic what has pulled me in and make me part of it.I remember when I first arrived at my house，it was far past their usual bedtime.But Mr.Garavalia still waited me in the living room and gave me a huge hug just as I walked in.I was felt so warm after 14 hours of tired flight.Every day they treat me as if I were their really family.I love them very much.【答案】I came to the US as exchange student a year .There are four people in my host family.They are Mr.Garavalia，his wife and his .The host family has a magic has pulled me in and me part of it.I remember when I first arrived at house，it was far past their usual bedtime.But Mr.Garavalia still waited me in the living room and gave me a huge hug just as I walked in.I felt so warm after 14 hours of flight.Every day they treat me as if I were their family.I love them very much.第一處：a改為an。考查冠詞。exchange的發(fā)音以元音音素開(kāi)頭。故把a(bǔ)改為an。第二處：before改為ago?？疾楦痹~。時(shí)間副詞before常常與完成時(shí)連用，ago常常與一般過(guò)去時(shí)連用，根據(jù)句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為一般過(guò)去時(shí)可知，把before改為ago。第三處：child改為children。考查名詞復(fù)數(shù)。根據(jù)上文中的“four people in my host family”可推斷，這對(duì)夫婦應(yīng)該有兩個(gè)孩子，故把child改為children。第四處：what改為that/which?？疾槎ㄕZ(yǔ)從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是magic，從句缺少主語(yǔ)。故把what改為that/which。第五處：make改為made。考查時(shí)態(tài)。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，and一詞后的動(dòng)詞make與其前has pulled作并列謂語(yǔ)，且在此并列結(jié)構(gòu)中and后省略了與前面相同的助動(dòng)詞has，故把make改為made。第六處：my改為their?？疾榇~。此處指“我”第一次到達(dá)他們(這對(duì)夫婦)家的時(shí)候，故把my改為their。第七處：waited后加for。考查介詞。wait for sb.意思是“等待某人”，為固定用法，故在waited后加for。第八處：刪除felt前的was。考查動(dòng)詞。felt在此處為系動(dòng)詞feel的過(guò)去式，表示“感受到”，沒(méi)有被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)。故刪除felt前的was。第九處：tired改為tiring。考查形容詞。此處表示“14個(gè)小時(shí)的令人疲倦的飛行之后”。tiring“令人疲勞的”，tired“疲倦的，疲勞的”，故把tired改為tiring。第十處：really改為real?？疾樾稳菰~。名詞family前應(yīng)用形容詞來(lái)修飾，故把really改為real。
