单元知识练习A
Three Feet From Gold
Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold – rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore(矿石).He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.
The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!
Then something happened! The vein(矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek experts’ advice before giving up.
Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.
Long afterwards, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”
Darby sold more than million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stick-ability” to the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.

Over the past few years I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been making changes to my brain. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I'm reading. Involving myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. That's rarely the case anymore.
I think I know what's going on. For over a decade, I've been spending lots of time online. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes by a few Google searches. Even when I'm not working, I'm scanning headlines or just tripping from link to link.
The Net is becoming a universal medium where information flows through my eyes and ears and into mind. The perfect recall of silicon memory can be a blessing to thinking. But that comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall Mcluhan pointed out, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the staff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is weakening my ability for concentration. Once I was a driver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a flying swallow.
I'm not the only one. When I mention my troubles with reading to acquaintances, Bruce Friedman, a blogger, also has described how the Internet has changed his mental habits. His thinking has taken on a “staccato” quality. “I can't read War and Peace anymore,” he admitted. “I've lost the ability to do that.”
A recently published study suggests that when reading online, we tend to become "more decoders of information. We are not only what we read; we are how we read.
4. According to the passage, the author thinks _______.
A. the Net is merely a headache
B. he can no longer die but swim shallowly
C. the deep reading in the past has become a struggle
D. other people around rarely have similar feelings like him
5. What is the author's attitude towards the Internet
A. Thoroughly passive. B. Totally puzzled.
C. Gladly approving. D. Evidently worried.
6. From the passage, the more people use the Web,_______ .
A. the more mental habits can be improved B. the more they have to fight to stay focused
C. the more they are influenced in shape D. the more online activities they can enjoy
7. Which of the following can best summarize the text
A. Is the Net gradually changing us
B. Long articles are hard to read nowadays.
C. Do people lack concentration to cover Web pages
D. More Web involvement results from attention distraction.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讲了作者经常上网，慢慢感觉到曾经自然深入的阅读已经成为一种挣扎，越多的使用网络，就越需要努力保持专注。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Involving myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. That’s rarely the case any more.(我不像以前那样想问题了。当我阅读的时候，我能最强烈地感受到它。过去，让自己沉浸在一本书或一篇长篇文章中很容易。现在这种情况已经很少见了)”可推断出，作者认为曾经自然深入的阅读已经成为一种挣扎，故选C。
【5题详解】

【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“And what the Net seems to be doing is weakening my ability for concentration.(网络似乎削弱了我集中注意力的能力)”可推知，人们越多的使用网络，他们就越需要努力保持专注，故选B。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。这篇文章主要讲了作者经常上网，慢慢感觉到曾经自然深入的阅读已经成为一种挣扎，越多的使用网络，就越需要努力保持专注。所以A选项“网络让我们逐渐变得愚蠢了吗？”最能准确概括文章大意，故选A。

I’m a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air café.
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted（中断）by a stranger, who politely asked permission(容许) to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial（有争议的）TV show, when I’m out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you please help me ”

Later we headed off to our destinations.

On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I’ll pay all expenses for his sick daughter’s treatment,”JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James’ daughter is well and living a normal life. JoJo often visits her. I’m so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.

What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river—the steamboats, the giant lumber（木头）rafts, and the people who worked on them.
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain's best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There's also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It's a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it's fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it's based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you'll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home.
12. Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE
A. He was born in Hannibal.
B. He enjoyed his life in Hannibal.
C. He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi.
D. He often went rafting（坐船漂流）on the Mississippi with his parents.
13. Tom Sawyer Days were created____________.
A. about forty years ago
B. in memory of a great writer
C. shortly after Twain's death
D. to improve kids' interest in reading
14. Who will win the fence painting contest
A. Bob, painting the longest.
B. Julia, painting most carefully.
C. Jim, painting in the newest way.
D. John, painting in the shortest time.
15. From the white fence at Twain's boyhood home, we know that______________.
A. the story of Tom Sawyer is based partly on Twain's experiences
B. the story of Tom Sawyer is based totally on Twain's imagination
C. Twain's old house is painted by the fence painting competitors
D. Twain's old house is visited by people from all over the country

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了马克吐温长大的地方汉尼拔，在汤姆索耶日举办的庆祝活动，在活动期间孩子们会参加跳蛙比赛和栅栏绘画比赛。这些比赛都是按照马克吐温小说里的场景进行的。如果去汉尼拔，还能看到白色的栅栏矗立着。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。从第一段第四句“Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river…”可知，马克吐温在汉尼拔长大，并对沿河汽船、巨大的木筏和在河上工作的人都十分着迷。所以他很喜欢在汉尼拔的生活。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。第二段第二句提到“Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s.”全国范围内的汤姆·索亚日期间会举办不同的活动，旨在颂扬两部作品，由此推断这个节日是为纪念这两部作品的作者马克·吐温创立的。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由第二段中“There's also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest.”可知，还有一个栅栏绘画比赛，看谁画得最快。由此推断出，约翰，在最短的时间内画完篱笆，将赢得栅栏绘画比赛。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it's based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you'll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home.”可知，虽然汤姆索亚的故事是虚构的，但它是基于一些事实的。 如果你去汉尼拔，你会看到白色的篱笆，它仍然矗立在吐温童年的家。所以判断出，从马克.吐温童年时代家里的白篱笆上，我们知道,汤姆索亚的故事部分是基于马克.吐温的经历。故选A。

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。这篇短文讲述了作者的烦恼。

考查固定搭配。句意：我有一个我很喜欢的朋友。此处是固定短语 be keen on，意思是“喜欢”。指作者很喜欢的一个朋友。故填on。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：我喜欢和她在一起，我们是老朋友了。根据后面的时间状语for a long time可知此处用现在完成时。故填have been。
【38题详解】

【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意：我意识到与她讨论这个问题可能是解决问题的有效方法，但我犹豫了，因为过去类似的对话进行得不太顺利，也因为我不确定如何确切地表达事情。这里是不定式短语作定语，修饰前面的名词。故填to fix。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：我意识到与她讨论这个问题可能是解决问题的有效方法，但我犹豫了，因为过去类似的对话进行得不太顺利，也因为我不确定如何确切地表达事情。此处是副词修饰前面的谓语，用exactly，指作者不确定如何把情况阐述清楚。故填exactly。

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city ”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.

Carol was happy that she had the chance to experience the life in the city. Yet at the same time, she understood that everything told by her grandmother was true in the city. There was no peace and no silences; the city life was fast and rushing. The air quality was not satisfying. She could hardly find any animal or even a tree.

Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up. She recalled what happened just now in her dream and realized that her life in the village with her family was far more wonderful than the city life.

单元知识练习A
Three Feet From Gold
Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold – rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore(矿石).He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.
The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!
Then something happened! The vein(矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek experts’ advice before giving up.
Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he was years in doing so.
Long afterwards, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”
Darby sold more than million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stick-ability” to the lesson he learned from his “quit-ability” in the gold mining business.

A. receive his reward B. seek financial support
C. look for more helpers D. consult an engineer
2. From the passage, we can know Darby _________.

B
Over the past few years I've had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been making changes to my brain. I'm not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I'm reading. Involving myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. That's rarely the case anymore.
I think I know what's going on. For over a decade, I've been spending lots of time online. The Web has been a godsend to me as a writer. Research that once required days in the rooms of libraries can now be done in minutes by a few Google searches. Even when I'm not working, I'm scanning headlines or just tripping from link to link.
The Net is becoming a universal medium where information flows through my eyes and ears and into mind. The perfect recall of silicon memory can be a blessing to thinking. But that comes at a price. As the media theorist Marshall Mcluhan pointed out, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the staff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is weakening my ability for concentration. Once I was a driver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a flying swallow.
I'm not the only one. When I mention my troubles with reading to acquaintances, Bruce Friedman, a blogger, also has described how the Internet has changed his mental habits. His thinking has taken on a “staccato” quality. “I can't read War and Peace anymore,” he admitted. “I've lost the ability to do that.”
A recently published study suggests that when reading online, we tend to become "more decoders of information. We are not only what we read; we are how we read.
4. According to the passage, the author thinks _______.
A. the Net is merely a headache
B. he can no longer die but swim shallowly
C. the deep reading in the past has become a struggle
D. other people around rarely have similar feelings like him
5. What is the author's attitude towards the Internet
A. Thoroughly passive. B. Totally puzzled.
C. Gladly approving. D. Evidently worried.
6. From the passage, the more people use the Web,_______ .
A. the more mental habits can be improved B. the more they have to fight to stay focused
C. the more they are influenced in shape D. the more online activities they can enjoy
7. Which of the following can best summarize the text
A. Is the Net gradually changing us
B. Long articles are hard to read nowadays.
C. Do people lack concentration to cover Web pages
D. More Web involvement results from attention distraction.
C
I’m a TV show host. One Sunday, I took my7-year-old daughter by the sea for lunch. On arriving at the beach, I saw JoJo, a wealthy man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open air café.
Suddenly our conversation was interrupted（中断）by a stranger, who politely asked permission(容许) to speak to me. Often people want to tell me something about my controversial（有争议的）TV show, when I’m out on the streets.
He asked to speak to me privately, so we stood a bit away from my table. He said, “I’m James, 35 years old, father of a 7-year-old girl, who’s very sick. She needs treatment abroad. The doctors said that if she was treated in the UK, she would probably survive. But I’m poor, so can you please help me ”
Speechless, I stared in the man’s eyes full of tears and asked how I could help. After we talked for a while, I went to sit back at the table. JoJo asked me,“What’s wrong with you Your face changed.” I told him. JoJo was very sorry for this family and said I had the means through the media to help him. Later we headed off to our destinations.
All weekend I thought about James, his daughter and his family. I even considered doing a special TV show to raise money for this sick child.
On Monday morning I was at the office after I finished presenting my show, when my secretary said a man needed to speak to me. It was JoJo. He walked into my office. Actually JoJo is so busy with his hotel business that I never imagined he had time to come and see me at the studios.
“Please, call the man with the sick child and tell him that I’ll pay all expenses for his sick daughter’s treatment,”JoJo said, with a check in his hand. “I’ve been married for 35 years. I wasn’t lucky enough to have a child. I want to help this child now.” I picked up the phone to call James.
Now James’ daughter is well and living a normal life. JoJo often visits her. I’m so happy that there are so many good people on this earth.
8. According to the text, the author_______.
A. often has lunch at the beach with his daughter
B. was once helped by JoJo
C. met JoJo at the beach by accident
D. was hesitant to help James
9. According to the text, the author thought that JoJo’s arrival at his office was_______.
A. annoying B. moving
C. exciting D. surprising
10. Why did JoJo make up his mind to help James
A. To support the author’s work.
B. To show his sympathy for the poor.
C. To show his love for a child.
D. To set a good example to other rich people.
11. What is the main idea of the text
A. Famous hosts are always troubled
B. Kind people are everywhere
C. The media is powerful
D. Even the richest person is not always lucky
D
What do Tom Sawyer and jumping frogs have in common Stories about both of them were created by one man: Mark Twain. Twain was four years old when his family moved to Hannibal, Missouri, located on the west bank of the Mississippi. Twain grew up there and was fascinated with life along the river—the steamboats, the giant lumber（木头）rafts, and the people who worked on them.
The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of Twain's best loved short stories, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one of his most famous novels. Both these works are celebrated by events held during National Tom Sawyer Days, which originated in the late 1950s and became national in the 1960s. Children enter their frogs in the jumping contest during National Tom Sawyer Days. There's also a fence painting contest to see who can paint the fastest. The idea for this contest comes from a scene in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, in which Tom has been told to paint the fence in front of the house he lives in. It's a beautiful day, and he would rather be doing anything else. As his friends walk by, he makes them believe that it's fun to paint, and they join in the “fun”. By the end of the day, the fence has three coats of paint!
Although the story of Tom Sawyer is fiction, it's based on facts. If you go to Hannibal, you'll see the white fence, which still stands at Twain's boyhood home.
12. Which of the following statements about Mark Twain is TRUE
A. He was born in Hannibal.
B. He enjoyed his life in Hannibal.
C. He spent most of his childhood on the Mississippi.
D. He often went rafting（坐船漂流）on the Mississippi with his parents.
13. Tom Sawyer Days were created____________.
A. about forty years ago
B. in memory of a great writer
C. shortly after Twain's death
D. to improve kids' interest in reading
14. Who will win the fence painting contest
A. Bob, painting the longest.
B. Julia, painting most carefully.
C. Jim, painting in the newest way.
D. John painting in the shortest time.
15. From the white fence at Twain's boyhood home, we know that______________.
A. the story of Tom Sawyer is based partly on Twain's experiences
B. the story of Tom Sawyer is based totally on Twain's imagination
C Twain's old house is painted by the fence painting competitors
D. Twain's old house is visited by people from all over the country
七选五
Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question: “Should I jump ” This is what motivation or the lack of it can do. Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of same coin. ___16___ Like the child on the diving board, you will stay undecided.
___17___ More than that, how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal First, you need to evaluate yourself, your values, your strengths, your weaknesses, your achievements, your desires, etc. Only then should you set your goals.

Your personal circumstances are equally important. For example, you may want to be a pilot but can’t become one because your eyesight is not good enough. ___20___You should reassess your goals, and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal.

A. This can affect your work.
B. So how should you motivate yourself
C. However, this should not discourage you.
