Unit 5 一、词汇复习（一）单句语法填空1You know, I met my girlfriends parents for the first time only yesterday. _(real)? I thought youd met them before.答案：Really句意为：你知道么，我就是在昨天第一次见了女友的父母。真的吗？我以为你以前就见过他们了呢。really意为“真的”，在此处表示惊奇。2 Thanks for your directions to the house; we wouldnt have found it _. 答案：otherwise句意为：多谢你把我们领到这所房子，否则，我们是不可能找到它的。otherwise意为“要不然，否则”符合语境。3(2014湖北，78改编)This novel was once the _(wide) read book in high schools in the United States. 答案：most widely句意为：这部小说曾经是美国高中阅读最广泛的书。根据空前的定冠词及空后的in high schools in the United States可知，应用最高级the most widely来修饰过去分词read，故填most widely。4(2014辽宁，68)The _ (hard) you try to beat him, the more likely you will get hit.He controls you！ 答案：harder本句是固定句式：“the比较级，the比较级”，表示“越就越”。句意为：你越是用力打他，你就越可能被打，他能够控制你！故答案为harder。5(2013湖北，29改编)Dont defend him any more.Its obvious that he_(deliberate) destroyed the fence of the garden even without apology. 答案：deliberately设空处修饰谓语动词destroyed，用副词形式。句意为：不要再为他辩解了。很显然他是故意弄坏花园的栅栏的，他甚至都不道歉。（二）英汉互译1. identify vt. _2. alternative n. adj. _3. archaeology n.

This finding is good news-if you were a mouse. The researchers studied mice, not people.John Price and other researchers studied two groups of mice. One group was able to eat as much as it wanted. The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate. Their diet had 35 percent fewer calories than the first group of mice.Price says the mice with the diet restrictions were “more energetic and suffered fewer disease.” They were not just living longer but seemed to stay younger for a longer period of time.The researchers found that fewer calories slow down a natural mechanism in cells called ribosomes. Price explains that ribosomes are responsible for making important proteins in the cells. But with fewer calories, they slow down. This gives the cells more time to repair themselves.The researchers say ribosomes use from 10 to 20 percent of the cells energy to make those proteins. Price wrote that “because of this, it is impractical to destroy an entire ribosome” when it starts to break down. However, “repairing individual parts of the ribosome on a regular basis enables ribosomes to continue producing high quality proteins for longer than they would otherwise. This top quality production, in turn, keeps cells and the entire body functioning well.”Price said, “ribosome is a very complex machine, like a car.” They need “maintenance to replace the parts that wear out the fastest. When tires wear out,” he explained, “you dont throw the whole car away and buy a new one. It costs less to replace the old tires.”“Food,” he said, “isnt just material to be burned-its a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond.” Price said the findings help to explain how exactly our bodies age. And this may “help us make more educated decisions about what we eat.”1.What can we know about the mice with limited calories from the study?A. They can keep healthy easilyB. They need more energy to be activeC. They can look younger than they areD. They will live a longer life like humans2.What will happen to ribosomes if there are fewer calories?A. They will completely break downB. They make proteins in the cells slowlyC. They will produce high quality proteins moreD. They may need more time to repair themselves3.Price explained the ribosomes role of repairing themselves by _.A. telling a storyB. listing basic dataC. making comparisonsD. experimenting on mice4.What does the text mainly deal with?A. Food decides how long you liveB. Can you slow down your aging process?C. Eating less may help you live longerD. Should your diet be reduced for your health?【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。通过研究实验发现：吃的少会使你长寿。1.A 【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中The researchers limited what the mice in the other group ate.

But it wasnt real snow that he saw. Actually, there was no real snow where he lived. He saw the snow in a picture book, which had lots of pictures of children playing in big white fields.He dreamed about snow all the time, trying to imagine how it really was. He thought of big white fields. He thought of the big, heavy clothes the children playing in the snow wore. He thought about feeling cold. He dreamed of being able to fly across the white fields of snow.Then, when Afel was twelve years old, the next thing happened. One day when he was watching TV at his uncles house. His uncle had a big new TV, with all the satellite channels. Afel was watching one of the satellite channels, and a program full of snow came on. And not only snow. There were people flying across the snow. They looked like fantastic birds. They had hats which covered all their heads and big goggles(护目镜) over their eyes. They wore brightly-colored clothes. And on their feet, they had things that looked like strange shoes.What are those? he asked his uncle excitedly.They are skis, replied his uncle. And those people are called skiers. Afel was in love. Here was the snow, and here were people who were flying across the snow. At that moment, he decided, he wanted to be a skier.He asked his uncle what the program was. The Winter Olympics, said his uncle. Its like the normal Olympics, but for sports where you need snow skiing, ice skating, bobsleigh, those sorts of things. They have it every four years.Perfect, he thought. Enough time for me to become a brilliant skier. Then Ill go to the next Winter Olympics, and win the gold medal for skiing.But theres no snow here! people told him.
