Unit 1 Friendship*閱讀理解“It hurts me more than you”, and “This is for your own good” these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Clomps who says of her students“so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Clomps, contributes to childrens passivity. “were talking about a generation of kids who has never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying go and look it up, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. its time for parents to end their vacation and e back to work. It s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it s for their own good. Its s time to start telling them “no” again.1.We learn from the passage that the authors mother used to lay emphasis(重點(diǎn)) on _.A.learning LatinB.being well behavedC.natural developmentD.education at school2.By “permissive period in education” (L1, para.2) the author means a time _.A.when children are allowed to do what they wish toB.when everything can be taught at schoolC.when every child can be educatedD.when children are permitted to receive education3.The main idea of the passage is that _.A.parents should leave their children aloneB.kids should have more activities at schoolC.its time to be more strict with our kidsD.parents should always set a good example to their kids參考答案： 1.B; 2.A; 3.C解析： 本文是一篇夾敘夾議文章,本文介紹了父母親對(duì)孩子疏于管教,聽之任之對(duì)孩子的學(xué)習(xí)帶來的負(fù)面影響,建議父母嚴(yán)格要求自己的孩子。1.B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段“This is for your own goodthese are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin.”(幾年前母親經(jīng)常說“這是為了你好”來要求我把事情做好)即作者的母親過去是很注重紀(jì)律的,對(duì)作者要求嚴(yán)格?？芍?故選B項(xiàng)。2.A 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)后面的句子“.in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school”可知,指在這段時(shí)期里,讓孩子做他們想做的事情。故選A項(xiàng)。3.C 主旨大意題。文章在第三段中提及父母為孩子做了太多的事情,放任孩子自由,導(dǎo)致孩子沒有受到挫折的打擊,所以應(yīng)該對(duì)孩子有更高的要求。故選C項(xiàng)。*語法填空My interest in Chinese food started years ago, when I was a young reporter for the Washington Post. Our office wasnt far from Chinatown, _1_ I found some very good Chinese restaurants.That was the first time that I _2_ (notice) the fresh taste of the meat and vegetables of Chinese food.When I learned more about the food, I began to understand why _3_ has this special feature.Many years ago, China had _4_ energy crisis because it lost much of its wood due to overpopulation and poor management of its forests. This _5_ (lose) was very bad for the country, of course, but it turned out to be very good for the food. Wood became very expensive and hard to get, so the Chinese had to either find a substitute for their _6_ (value) wood, or learn how to use it better. There werent any substitutes, so people found ways to economize.In order to economize in cooking, they had to use very little wood. So they started cutting their meat and vegetables _7_ small pieces before they put them in the hot oil. That way, the food cooked _8_ (fast) and they saved more fuel. The food _9_ (prepare) in this way kept its fresh flavorand its this flavor _10_ attracts people from other countries to the art of Chinese cooking.1_2._3._4._5._6._7._8._9._10._篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。這篇文章主要講述了中國(guó)食物美味的原因。在很多年前，由于中國(guó)的木柴缺乏，人們?yōu)榱斯?jié)約木柴，就把食物切成小塊烹飪，食物很快就熟了，而且保持了鮮美的味道。1where考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子成分可知，設(shè)空處所填詞引導(dǎo)定語從句，補(bǔ)充說明先行詞Chinatown，關(guān)系詞在非限制性定語從句中作狀語，表示地點(diǎn)，故填where。2had noticed考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。在“It/This/That be the序數(shù)詞timethat .”句型中，若前面的be動(dòng)詞是一般過去時(shí)，that從句使用過去完成時(shí)，故填had noticed。3it考查代詞。此處it代指前面的the food，故填it。4an考查冠詞。表示“一”的概念時(shí)需用不定冠詞，因?yàn)閑nergy的發(fā)音以元音音素開頭，故填an。句意：很多年前，中國(guó)有一次能源危機(jī)。5loss考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子成分可知，was是謂語部分，此處應(yīng)用名詞形式作主語，故填loss。6valuable考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。根據(jù)空后的名詞wood可知，此處應(yīng)用形容詞修飾名詞，故填valuable。7into考查介詞。cut . into . 是固定搭配，意為“把切成”，故填into。8faster考查副詞的比較級(jí)。根據(jù)后面的more可知，此處應(yīng)用fast的比較級(jí)，故填faster。9prepared考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處是過去分詞作后置定語，表被動(dòng)，修飾名詞food，故填prepared。10that考查強(qiáng)調(diào)句型。此句去掉its和設(shè)空處后，仍是一個(gè)完整的句子，所以是強(qiáng)調(diào)句型，且被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分是this flavor，故填that。*完形填空Not many people can say theyve been hit by a vehicle，but I can.I rode my bike to my daily _1_ practice in a gym last summer.I crossed the street as the light _2_；however，a young
