Unit 4 Pygmalion一、閱讀理解。When I was a boy there were no smart phones，and our television only got one channel clearly.Still，I was never bored.The fields，hills，and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides，but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear“Turn around and head back home”，but I was stubborn，so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didnt want to end up trapped on this road，and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”It is true.In life，all roads，no matter how they twist and turn，can lead us home again.What is important，though，is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith？Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey？The choice is ours.1Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?ABecause he could have fun in nature.BBecause he could watch TV all day.CBecause he had many friends.DBecause he used to explore the old dirt road.2How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?AHe thought he would be scolded by his parents.BHe felt contradictory in mind.CHe thought he would be trapped in the woods.DHe was unconscious.3What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?ADoubt. BHope.CCourage. DFear.4What does the author mainly intend to tell us?AAlways make choices on our own.BAll roads lead home.CIts our attitude that matters in our life.DEvery effort is worthwhile.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇記敘文。作者回憶了自己童年時期的快樂的時光，并通過童年時經(jīng)歷的一件事告訴我們，人生中最重要的是對待生活的態(tài)度?！倦y句分析】What is important，though，is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith？Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey?分析：第一句包含what引導(dǎo)的主語從句，how引導(dǎo)的表語從句；后兩句為表示選擇關(guān)系的一般疑問句。譯文：然而(生命中)重要的是我們?nèi)绾巫哌^這些路。我們要懷著恐懼前行還是要懷著信心前行？我們想讓自己的人生成為一次糟糕的旅行還是一段快樂的旅程呢？1A考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake”可知，在童年時期，作者可以到大自然中盡情地玩耍，所以不會覺得無聊。2B考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my earTurn around and head back home，but I was stubborn，so I walked on”可知，在探險之初，作者雖想放棄，但還是選擇了繼續(xù)走下去；根據(jù)下文可知，作者雖然擔(dān)心害怕，但仍然繼續(xù)前行。由此可推知，在探險過程中他的內(nèi)心是矛盾的。3D考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)文章第二段中的“I grew scared”及第三段中的“My heart was pounding and my legs were aching”可推知，由于天越來越黑，作者一直未能找到回家的路，他的內(nèi)心越來越恐懼。由此可推知，something在此指“恐懼”。故選D。4C考查主旨大意。根據(jù)最后一段中的“What is important, though, is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey”可知，作者想要告訴我們的是生活中態(tài)度才是重要的。根據(jù)最后一段的敘述可知，作者將表達的重心放在了“如何走人生之路”，其中fear, faith，terrible，joyful體現(xiàn)的均是心境和態(tài)度，無關(guān)“誰來做選擇”，或者“所有的路都能回家”，所以排除A和B。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 e here for a party instead?答案：What固定句式what if “倘使/如果將會怎樣？”。7Parents should teach their children to behave _(proper) in public.答案：properly此處應(yīng)用副詞來修飾動詞behave, 故填properly。8They made rude _(remark) about her appearance.答案：remarksmake remarks/a remark about . “對發(fā)表評論”。9The information you gathered is _ great help to me.答案：of“of抽象名詞”相當(dāng)于其對應(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所給動詞與其邏輯主語medicine之間為被動關(guān)系，故用過去分詞作狀語。三、完形填空。The murmur of the audience had just faded into silence.This was one of the most _1_ days in fiveyearold Patricia McKees life：the Kernot School Concert.She stood _2_ the curtain with her schoolmates.Yet she was not _3_ because everyone had been practicing for weeks and knew their

mother with a big smile on her face!This powerful image _18_ one of Patricias most treasured memories.“Words cannot express the pure joy we both _19_ at that moment，” said Patricia.Her parents have passed away, but what a wonderful legacy(遺產(chǎn)) theyve left us：when someone really _20_ you，be there for them.1A.difficultBimportantCsad Dperfect2A.before BunderCbeside Dbehind3A.excited
