Unit 5 Nelson Mandela-a modern hero .阅读理解(2018浙江)I start every summer with the best of intentions:to attack one big book from the past,a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious.Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental:“Moby Dick” on a three-day cross-country train trip;“The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors,no telephones or televisions in the rooms,and little to do beyond row on the salt pond.Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii,my native state,however,was less fruitful:I made it through one and a quarter volumes (册),then decided that Id got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss.Im not quite interested in Balzac,say,or “Tristram Shandy.” Theres always “War and Peace,” which Ive covered some distance several times,only to get bogged down in the “War” part,set it aside for a while,and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again,having forgotten everyones name and social rank.How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating,too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature.And then theres Stendhals “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒) of the summer,created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty.It is easy to drink,and knocking back three or four seems like such a delightful idea.Cecconis theory:“I take whatevers fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park,making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once,lying on uncut grass with eyes shut,sun beating through the lids.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。在文章中作者讲述了自己暑假的读书历程和感悟。1.What can we infer about the author from the first paragraph?A.He has a cottage in New England.B.He shows talents for literature.C.He enjoys reading when traveling.D.He admires a lot of great writers.答案C解析推理判断题。 根据第一段的描述“.Moby Dick.The Magic Mountain.The Man Without Qualities.”可知,这些都是作者在旅行中所看的书,由此我们推知,作者喜欢看书,所以选C项。2.What do the underlined words “get bogged down” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Get confused.B.Be carried away.C.Be interrupted.D.Make no progress.答案D解析词义猜测题。根据第二段中“.only to get bogged down in the War part,set aside for a while.from the beginning again”,并结合上下文可知,get bogged down表示“深陷泥潭,陷入困境中”,由此知,作者看战争与和平一书,总是看到战争部分就看不下去了,停停看看,再重新开始看,停滞不前,由此选D项。3.Why does the author say reading his favorite books feels like cheating?A.He finishes them quickly.B.He should read something serious.C.He barely understands them.D.He has read them many times before.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第二段中“.which feels almost like cheating,too exciting and too much fun to properly belong in serious literature”可以推知,作者看自己喜欢的书很多遍,从某种程度上而言,作者倾向于看严肃文学,所以很兴奋,很激动,像是一种“偷偷摸摸”的行为,所以选B项。4.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.The Books of SummerB.My Summer HolidaysC.To Read or Not to ReadD.Its Never Too Late to Read答案A解析主旨大意题。根据全文可知,文章一直在强调作者在夏天看的各种书籍,由此我们不难发现A项突出了本文的两个重点“夏天”和“文学作品”,故选A项。B项表示“我的暑假假期”;C项表示“阅读还是不阅读”;D项表示“任何时候读书都不晚”,都不能概括“summer”和“books”的特点,故排除。.语篇填空Mr.James owns a company.He put an advertisement 1. a newspaper for a boy to work in his office.Out of nearly fifty people 2. came to apply,the man selected one and dismissed 3. others.“I would like to know,” said a friend,“the reason you preferred that boy,who brought neither a single letter,4. a single recommendation.”“You are wrong,” said the gentlemen.“He had many.He wiped his feet at the door and closed the door behind him,5. (mean) that he was careful.He gave his seat immediately to an old man,showing that he was kind and 6. (thought).He took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions quickly,showing that he was a polite gentleman.Everyone else stepped over the book that I 7. (put) on the floor purposely.He picked 8. up and placed it on the table,and he waited quietly for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.When I talked to him,I noticed his tidy clothing,his 9. (neat) brushed hair,and his clean fingernails.Cant you see that these are excellent recommendations?I considered them to be more significant than 10.(letter).”Hearing the words,the friend nodded in agreement.答案与解析【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Mr.James招聘员工的故事,故事告诉我们一个道理:细节决定成败。1.in考查介词。in a newspaper为固定搭配。2.who/that考查定语从句。who/that引导定语从句,在从句中做主语。3.the考查冠词。the others指某一范围内的其他人。4.nor考查连词。neither.nor.为固定搭配,意为“既不也不”。5.meaning考查非谓语动词。该句的主干结构已完整,故此处应填非谓语动词“meaning”表示主动关系,意为“意味着”。6.thoughtful考查形容词。句中的“kind”和“thoughtful”都是形容词,为并列关系,接在be动词后做表语。7.had put考查动词的时态语态。此处为主动关系,且该动作发生在“stepped”之前,故用过去完成时的主动语态。8.it考查代词。此处代词it指代前文中的“the book”。9.neatly考查副词。此处副词neatly修饰动词brushed,意为“梳理整齐的头发”。10.letters考查名词。此处letter“信件”为可数名词,故用复数形式。.读后续写(2018浙江宁波5月模考)Jenny was the only child in her home.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldnt help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother.Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat,but it was not even possible for her,since she had nothing with her.She stood beside a stand for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she sighed and had to leave.The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked,“Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?”“Oh,yes.but I dont have money on me.” she replied.“Thats nothing.Ill treat you today,” said the man,“come in.”The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,whose smell was so attractive.As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.“What is it?” asked the man kindly.“Nothing,actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped her tears,“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother,drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless compared to a stranger!”Hearing the words,the seller smiled,“Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude to her?”Jenny sat there,speechless and numb with shock;she remembered her mothers familiar face and weathered hands.“Why did I not think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted,but I have never thanked my mum for what she has done for me.”On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.注意:1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;2.至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语;3.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好;4.续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath.Paragraph 2A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.参考范文Paragraph 1Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath.When she knocked at the door,she found it was locked and her mother was not in.Tired and sad,she sat down in fro
