Book 6 Unit 1Laughter is good for you.单项填空1The speaker had to get his voice _ so as to make himself _.Arisen；hearing Braised；hearingCraised；heard Darisen；heard答案C因为rise，arise是不及物动词，不能使用被动结构，所以第一空用raised，构成get sth done 结构；第二空考查make oneself done 的用法，所以用heard。2As is often the case，nobody likes to _ in public.Abe made fun of Bbe made funCmake fun of Dmake fun答案A主语nobody和make fun of之间是动宾关系，故要使用被动结构，排除C、D；B项缺少介词of，正确答案是A。3The archaeologists all find _ to prepare for the worst conditions they might meet during the restoration.Aworthy Bit worthwhileCit worth Dit worthy答案B本题考查worth，worthy，worthwhile的用法辨析。空格处用it作形式宾语，指代真正的宾语不定式短语，worthwhile作宾语补足语。4He was chosen chairman of the Trade Union and he was happy to _ the role.Atake off Btake upCtake over Dtake in 答案B句意：“他被选为工会主席，并且很高兴担任这个角色”。四个选项中只有take up有这样的用法，因此答案是B。5What a pity! I havent got a ticket for the football match.Dont worry.Itll be broadcast _.Alive Blively Calive Dliving答案A答语表示“不要担心。足球赛将进行现场直播”。四个选项中只有live有这样的用法，所以A是正确答案。6At the seventh International Ballet Competition，Fernando Bujones won the first gold medal ever _ to an American male dancer.Aawarded Bto be awardedCbeing awarded Dshould be awarding答案Aaward和gold medal之间是动宾关系，所以要用过去分词表示被动。另外，动作已经发生过了，故B、C时态不符合本题逻辑。7I couldnt do my homework with all that noise _.Agoing on Bgoes onCwent to Dto go on答案A本题考查with复合结构，go on和all that noise之间是主动关系，故要用动词ing形式表示主动。8Diligent work，however，does not necessarily _ much achievement or honour which is expected by someone.Atake over Bresult inChold on Dkeep on答案B句意：然而，辛勤的工作并不一定带来人们所期望的成就或荣誉。result in 导致，结果是；take over接管，接手；hold on坚持下去；keep to坚持，遵守，信守。9New research shows the best evidence that our closest living relative，chimps，_ customs and culture just as humans do.Atake on Bpass onCbring on Dcarry on答案Bpass on表示“传递”；take on表示“呈现”；bring on表示“进步”，carry on表示“继续开展”。句意：新的研究出示了最有力的证据：人类的近亲黑猩猩，也像人类一样传递风俗文化。可知，答案应选B。10_ it is to watch a close football game!AWhat a great fun BHow great funCWhat great fun DHow great a fun答案Cfun为不可数名词，而本句为感叹句，故应选C。11A standup comedian can tell different jokes _ the reactions of the audience.Ain answer to Bin response toCin reply to Dall the above答案D表示“根据观众的反应讲不同的笑话”，用短语in answer to，in reply to，in response to都可以，因此D为正确答案。12Youre drinking too much.Only at home.No one _ me but you.Ais seeing Bhad seenCsees Dsaw答案Csee是短暂性动词，故不用进行时，从本题的语境看，这里表示的是现在的情况，故动词使用一般现在时。13Id done the same job for years and felt it was time to _.Amove on Bgo on Chave on Dtake on答案Ago on意为“继续”；have on意为“穿(衣服等)在身上”；take on意为“呈现，接纳”；而move on有“更换成(新的事物)”之意。根据句意A为正确答案。14It rained and rained，_ it would never stop.Athat BwhichCeven though Das if答案D根据句中谓语动词的重复和句末的虚拟语气的运用。句意：总是下雨，好像绝不会停止了。因此D为正确答案。15He _ the naughty children and they kept silent at once.Aglared at Bstared atClooked at Dglance at答案A由kept silent at once，可知选glared at合乎逻辑。stare at意为“盯着”；look at意为“看”；glance at意为“看一看，粗略地看一下”。故A为正确答案。.完形填空Blind from birth，I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.There are those who _1_ that since I cant see，I obviously also cannot _2_.Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs.Conversely to this，people will also often _3_ ，assuming that since my eyes dont work，my ears dont either.For example，when I go

busy day，my sister interrupted us wanting to know if we，too，could smell burning.As my parents were overseas，the thought of a fire terrified us and we quickly checked every room in the house.Nearing the lounge room，I could see a glowing light and hear a roaring sound.To my horror，the mantelpiece was ablaze and smoke was billowing out a window.I yelled to my sister and grandmother to get out of the house.My sister grabbed the phone to call the fire brigade and，together with the dog，we ran away from the house.While we anxiously waited for help，a lady and her young daughter ran towards us to check if we were hurt.She had noticed smoke coming from our window and had already alerted the fire brigade.She hugged us and was very relieved to see us safe.She led us to her car where we waited until the fire brigade had finished dousing the flames.She also helped us answer questions so the police could start their investigations.Once the lady was convinced that some order had been restored，she apologized for not being able to stay longer，as she had to take her daughter to a dance performance.She promised to return later to check on us.I was completely lost for words.This kind lady had gone out of her way to make sure we were safe and now she was apologetic about leaving us.We thanked her profusely and urged her not to delay any further.Hours later，we were allowed back into the house.It was about midnight when the doorbell rang.To my disbelief，it was the lady from earlier at the door.As promised，shed returned to check on us.She was relieved that we all were settled and gave us a warm hug before leaving.Unfortunately，in all the commotion，I didnt ask her where she lived so my family hasnt been able to thank her properly for her thoughtful actions that day.【解题导语】火灾发生之后，一位陌生的女士非常体贴、热心地帮助了我们。1The thoughtful lady was most probably _.Aa neighbor Ban onlookerCa passerby Da firefighter答案 C 细节理解题。由文章第四段a lady and her young daughter ran towards us to check if we were hurt可知，她们过来帮助我们，并且不认识我们，由第七段This kind lady had gone out of her way可知她只是一个过路人。2What does the underlined word “douse” mean?APut out BPut awayCCover DFan答案 A 词义推断题。由第五段可知她让我们待在她的车上，直到消防员把火扑灭。put out意为“扑灭”。3What is the CORRECT order of the whole thing?aThe writers sister smelt something burning.bThree of them rushed out of the house.cA fire started in the lounge room.dThe lady called on them at midnight to see if everything was OK with them.eThey met with a lady who came to their help.Acaebd BacbdeCcabed Dbcaed答案 C 事件顺序题。根据事情发生的顺序可知，首先是起火了，作者的妹妹闻到了烧焦的味道，然后他们跑出了房间，在外面遇到了一个好心的女士，最后这位女士又返回来确定一切正常。4Which of the following might be the BEST title for the passage?AMy Regret for the LadyBMy Terrible ExperienceCWhat a Terrible FireDWarm Grow from a Fire答案 D 标题判断题。根据解题导语，虽然作者一家遭遇了火灾，但是一位热心女士的帮助让他们感受到了温暖。BIn this age of the importance placed on human liberties，the idea of forcing someone to do something he does not want to do may receive condemnation.In my opinion，forcing should be resorted to only when all persuasion fails.Forcing a child to brush his teeth is quite sound.That is if all else failseducating him about tooth decay，using a carrot and stick approach and even buying him an electric toothbrush.It is very important that he brushes his teeth when he is a child.Children have to be taught whats good and bad and be trained too.In choosing a secondary school，a twelveyearold may not have the maturity to weigh the pros and cons involved.If the child does not want to study in the school of his parents choice，he may have to be persuaded.Otherwise the issue may be thrashed out and the parents firmly，but gently lay down the rule.Children do not have the experience of life and the foresight to make major decisions that affect their lives.It is important though that parents，should they force，do so carefully and sensitively.Children cannot do without their parents or guardians watching over them.In school，teachers and principals are given the authority to make the students do what is to be done.A teacher expects submission to his or her commands.In detention classes，students are made to do unpleasant tasks as a punishment.On the other hand，adults shouldnt be forced to do things against their wishes.They are autonomous，no longer under their parentscontrol.They have been through much of life and have been trained by parents and teachers through childhood and adolescence.Now they are independent and know what they want and what they do not want.They should be guided and advised，not forced.Thus，depending on the circumstances，children can be forced to do things which they prefer not to do.Adults，on the contrary，should not be.【解题导语】现在是崇尚自由的时代，强迫别人做他们不想做的事情会遭到谴责。作者对此陈述了自己的观点。5The writer thinks that _.Aforcing should be condemnedBforcing is part of educationCpersuasion should replace forcingDpersuasion should be before forcing答案 D 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句话得知，作者认为只有当劝导行不通的时候才可以进行强制。6Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage if a child does not want to brush his teeth?AHe should be taught the importance of brushing his teeth.BHe should be told when and how to brush his teeth.CHe should be rewarded and punished as well.DHe should be forced to brush his teeth.答案 B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段可知，作者没有提到孩子应该什么时候和如何刷牙，其他三项均有提到。7Which of the following is FALSE according to the passage?AChildren are too young to choose a suitable school for them to go to.BChildren should learn to make big decisions that affect their lives.CChildrens parents or guardians should watch over them.DTeachers and principals should make children do what they should do.答案 B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第四句Children do not have the experience of life and the foresight to make major decisions that affect their lives和最后一句Children cannot do without their parents or guardians watching over them可知孩子们需要家长和监护人的监管。8The writer concludes that _.Ait is wrong to force people to do things against their wishesBit is right to force people to do things against their wishesCit is accepta
