Ellen Parker was worried about her health. She could not walk very quickly and it was difficult for her to climb stairs. She was soon out of breath.
“I suppose I had better go to the doctor.” she thought.
She went to the doctor and told him her problem.
“I'm not at all surprised.” he said，“I know what your problem is.”
He examined her and then gave her some advice.
“If you don't do what I say，Mrs Parker，” he said，“You will have a heart attack(心脏病发作). It could kill you.”
Ellen was very worried as she left the doctor's. She knew that she had to take his advice but that it would not be easy and that it would take time.
The next day she went shopping. The first shop she went into was a butcher shop(肉铺)．
“I'd like ten pounds of steak(牛排)，please.” she said.
“Certainly，madam.”the butcher replied and went into the cold room and found a large piece of steak. He brought the huge piece of meat back into the shop and placed it on the scale(称)．
“That's just ten pounds.”he said.
“That's big enough.”Mrs Parker said.
The butcher worked out the price.
“At $4.99 a pound that will be $49.90，please. Would you like me to cut it up into smaller pieces for you？”“Oh，I don't want to buy the meat.” Mrs Parker said.
“If you don't want to buy it，” the butcher replied angrily，“Why did you ask me to get it for you？”

Accidents happen almost every day. Some accidents are not serious and some are. We read about such accidents nearly every day in the newspapers. It is wrong for people to think that accidents take place only on the roads or highways，or even at work places. Home accidents are just as common. Because very few home accidents are reported，people come to think that there are few accidents which happen in homes.
There have been many cases where people fall to their deaths from high rise flats. Children often fall over while coming down the stairs. Old people may slip(滑跤) on wet floors if they are not careful.
Nowadays there are a lot of modern electrical appliances(电器) such as rice cookers which make life easy for the modern house wives. These appliances can kill if they are not used in the proper way. Gas stoves(煤气灶) used for cooking are also dangerous if they are not properly used. They may cause burns or，in more serious cases，even fires.
But all such accidents can be stopped if we are careful and follow simple rules of safety. For example，it is unwise for people to try repairing their own electrical appliances if they do not know how to. It is safer to get them repaired by an electrician(电工)．

六、 阅读理解(6分)
As one comes to some crossroads，he or she sees a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead. At other crossroads，drivers have to go slow，but they do not actually have to stop unless，of course，there is something coming along the main road；and at still others，they do not have either to stop or to go slow，because they are themselves on the main road.
Mr Williams，who was always a very careful driver，was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroad. It had a “SLOW” sign. He slowed down when he came to the main road，looked around both ways to see that nothing was coming，and then drove across without stopping completely.
At once he heard a police whistle(口哨声)，so he pulled into the side of the road and stopped.A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and a pen in his hand and said，“You didn't stop at that crossing.”
“But the sign there doesn't say ‘STOP'.” answered Mr Williams，“It just says ‘SLOW'，and I did go slow.”
The policeman looked around him，and a look of surprise came over his face. Then he put his notebook and pen away，scratched(抓) his head and said，“Well，I'm in the wrong street！”
根据文章内容，选择正确答案：
1. Mr Williams was driving ________ one evening.
A. to a party B. to his office
C. home after work D. to work from home
2. When he was stopped by a policeman，he ________.
A. was driving at a high speed B. was driving onto the main road
C. was going to stop his car D. was driving slowly
3. Though slowly，Mr Williams continued driving at the crossing because ________.
A. he didn't see any “STOP” sign there
B. he paid no attention to the traffic rules
C. he didn't have to stop
D. he was eager to get home
4. Looking round Mr Williams，the policeman was surprised because ________.
A. he met a mad man
B. he realized that he himself was mistaken
C. Mr Williams dared to speak to him like that
D. Mr Williams would not apologize to him
第四单元 (Unit 4)
第一课时 Period 1
一、1. shake 2. rise 3. smelly 4. pipe 5. burst 6. canal 7. steam 8. steel 9. injure
10. destroy 11. dam 12. useless 13. shock 14. rescue 15. electricity 16. disaster
17. organize 18. bury 19. shelter 20. fresh
二、1. right away 2. at an end 3. dig out 4. coal mine 5. a (great) number of 6. give out 7. tens of thousands of 8. think little of 9. fall down 10. wake up 11. in the open air
12. be proud of 13. lose one’s life 14. in the direction of 15. raise money 16. lose hope
三、 1. D burst out后接V ing形式，every time 相当于连词，引导状语从句。
2. D 考查词义辨析。things是普通用词，指“情况；状况”；incident意为“事情；发生的事(常指小事)”；accident意为“事故”，强调未预料到的事情；event意为“事件”，多指大事件。
3. C 考查词义辨析。accident意为“事故”，指没有料到的恶性事件。incident指“事件”，多指不是很重要的事情。event多指“政治性的事件”，尤指大事。event也可以指(体育运动中的)比赛项目。
4. A judging from为固定搭配，此处judging不与the old man形成逻辑主动或被动关系。wear，have on，dress都有“穿，戴”的意思，但搭配和意义不同。wear和have on都可以表示“穿着”的状态，然而have on没有进行时态；dress可以作及物和不及物动词，作不及物动词时意为“穿衣”，作及物动词时宾语是人。
5. A 句意为：我被那场官司搞得倾家荡产，一文不名。ruin常用于借喻中，指损坏到了不能再使用的程度；damage不能指人，只指物；destroy指完全彻底地破坏，含有无法修复之意，也可用于借喻。第二个空应用过去分词作定语，表被动和完成之意。
6. D in ruins为固定搭配，意为“处于颓废状态”。
7. C 句意为：你怎样想出如此明智的办法摆脱困境？其他选项与think搭配无“想出”之意。
8. C think up在这里相当于think of，意为“考虑，思考”。
9. A to replace为不定式作目的状语。as it is意为“现在的样子”。
10. B instead of意为“用一种形式代替另一种形式”。C项有一定干扰性，without意为“在没有……的情况下”，因此不合题意。
四、1. is 2. are 3. exists 4. remains 5. rose 6. appears 7. happens 8. was said
五、 1. I'll return the book to you right away.
2. The sun burst through the clouds.
3. The Chinese use chopsticks instead of knives and forks.
4. The drowning boy was rescued.
5. The hurricane ruined all the houses here.
6. On hearing the news，Leslie burst into laughter while Tracy burst out crying.
六、 本文讲述了一个人明明遵守了交通规则，但由于警察自己站错了街道位置而产生了误会的故事。
1. C 文中第二段提到“...was driving home from work.”。
2. B 第二段中提到“He slowed down when he came to the main road...”。
3. C 根据文章意思，Mr Williams 只需要慢行，不必停下来。
4. B 根据文中“I'm in the wrong street！”可知警察最后知道是他自己弄错了。
