unit 16stories(b).阅读理解(2017黄冈检测)on christmas day，2003，a woman named nancy sue brown took her daughter and grandchildren to see a movie at an amc theater.when the movie was over，the crowd made for the exits.a theater employee had just finished mopping the hallway and dutifully placed the “wet floor”sign in the slippery area.no one slipped due to the wet conditions，but someone did manage to knock over the sign.and by the time ms.brown got to the area，the sign was lying on the floor.and shortly thereafter，so was she.her foot got caught in the sign，in a bad way，and she fell.unfortunately ms.brown had undergone a back operation，and the fall caused more damage than it otherwise would have.so she and her husband sued(提起诉讼)amc argued that the entire point of the “wet floor”sign above was to warn of danger，and therefore，courts should encourage the use by not allowing browns case to proceed(继续进行)amc referred to a case about a december，1998 incident，where a “wet floor”sign，not in use，fell to the floor causing another tripandfall.in that case，georgias court of appeals ruled in favor of the store，but didnt go so far as to say that“wet floor”signs couldnt give rise to legal liability(责任)in tripandfall accidents.in the brown case，the supreme court therefore rejected amcs argument that the former case applied.but the browns argued something surprising that the“wet floor”sign was，itself，dangerous，because “using this type of sign in areas passed by lots of customers creates an unreasonable risk of foreseeable harm to the public in the form of tripping hazards(危险)”thats rightthe safety sign，used in the way it was designed，was itself dangerous.the court thankfully didnt accept that argument，at least not entirely.but it did conclude that browns case could continue to a jury(陪审团)“a merchants selection and use of equipment designed to warn customers of one danger that has the potential to expose them to a different one”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了布朗夫人在美国一家amc影院看完电影离开时，被“小心地滑”的警示牌绊倒受伤后，向法院提起诉讼的原因以及法院的审判结果。1according to the text，ms.brown aslipped on the wet floorbtripped over a warning signcknocked over a warning signdwas knocked down by the crowdb考查细节理解。根据文章第一段中的“.ms.brown got to the area，the sign was lying on the floor.and shortly thereafter，so was she.her foot got caught in the sign，in a bad way，and she fell.”可知，布朗夫人被“小心地滑”的警示牌绊倒了。b项中的tripped over意为“被绊倒”，与文章表述相符，故选b项。c项中的knocked over意为“打翻；撞倒”，不符合文意。2amc mentioned the 1998 case in order to aaccept its legal liability for ms.browns lossbprove ms.brown had some physical problemscstress that it had no legal liability for the accidentdprove other customers were responsible for the accidentc考查推理判断。根据文章第二段第一句“amc argued that.encourage the use by not allowing browns case to proceed(继续前行)”可知，amc影院认为布朗夫人的控拆不成立，法院应该鼓励使用这样的警示牌，接着第二句amc影院举出1998年的案例来支持自己的观点。由此可推测，amc影院提到这一案例是为了强调自己不应该承担本次事故的责任。故选c项。3what can we learn about the browns case from the last paragraph?ait would be judged by jury.bit would not be allowed to proceed.cthe court would rule in favor of amc.dthe court accepted all the arguments of the browns.a考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段中的“but it did conclude that browns case could continue to a jury.”可知，法院提出请陪审团来审理此案。故选a项。4the underlined word“one”in the last paragraph refers to “ ”adangerbcustomercbusiness ownerdequipment in public placesa考查词义猜测。根据文章最后一段最后一句可知，一个商人选择和使用某一种设备来警示顾客某种危险，而这种设备本身就可能将顾客置于另一种危险中。由此可猜测，one指代上文中的danger。故选a项。.阅读七选五(2017济南模拟)while you are travelling abroad，cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes，which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 1 touching someone 2 in mediterranean countries，if you dont touch someones arm when talking to them or if you dont greet them with kisses or a warm hug，youll be considered cold.but backslap(拍背)someone who isnt a family member or a good friend in korea，and youll make them uncomfortable.in thailand，the head is considered sacrednever even pat a child on the head.talking over dinnerin some countries，like china，japan and some african nations，the food is the only thing，so dont start chatting about your days adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner. 3 its not because your group is unfriendly，but because mealtimes are for eating，not talking.removing your shoes or nottake off your shoes when

someone”及下文提到的不同国家对于触碰有不同的习俗可知，不同的地方对个人空间的理解各不相同。故选a项。3g上文介绍在中国、日本和一些非洲国家，吃饭时不要闲谈。由此可知，吃饭时要保持沉默，只有g项与此相关。故选g项。4f该空与前一句是相反的情况，上文提到“如果你在门口看到一排鞋子，就松开你的鞋带”，接下来就应当描写与之相反的情况，故选f项。5c从空后的“and dont.like queue jumping”可知，此空与该句表并列关系，也应是“不要”，故选c项。 【导学号：33220192】.语法填空(2017大连双基测试)the origin of tea is lost among history and tales.what can be 1 (rough)confirmed is that tea originated in the southwest of china.according to ancient stories，the first person 2 (discover)the effects of tea is said to be shennongthe father of agriculture and herbal 3 (medical)in china.it 4 (say)that shennong once tried 72 different kinds of poisonous plants in a day and he lay on the ground，barely alive.at this moment，he noticed several rather fragrant leaves 5 (drop)from the tree beside him.out 6 curiosity and habit，shennong put the leaves into his mouth and chewed 7 slowly.after a little while，he felt well and 8 (energy)again.so he picked more leaves to eat 9 thus cleared his body from poison.the ancient chinese medical book called shennong bencaojing states that“tea tastes bitter.drinking it，one can think quicker，sleep 10 (little)，move more swiftly，and see more clearly.”this then was the earliest book to record the medicinal effects of tea.【语篇解读】本文介绍了“茶”的起源。1roughly考查副词。副词修饰动词。故填roughly“粗略地”。2to discover考查非谓语动词。不定式短语作后置定语。故填to discover。3medicine考查词性转换。形容词herbal“草本的”修饰名词。故填medicine。herbal medicine意为“草药”。4is said考查被动语态。根据语境可知，据说神农曾一天之内尝了72种不同的有毒植物。it is said that意为“据说”。5dropping考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此时，他注意到几片芳香的叶子正从他旁边的树上掉落下来。空处强调“正在掉落”，故用drop的现在分词形式。6of考查介词。短语out of curiosity意为“出于好奇”。7them考查代词。根据语境可分析出，空处指代and前的leaves，指咀嚼“它们”。故填them。8energetic考查词性转换。感官动词felt后应用形容词，故填energetic。9and考查连词。该空前后表示顺承关系，故用and。10less考查比较级。此处与文中的“think quicker”和“move more swiftly，and see more clearly”为并列结构，故填less。.短文改错(2017四川绵阳第二次诊断)i prefer my english classes to be taught only in english.as we are all know，a good learning environment is vital unless we want to study english
