课后作业
一、单句语法填空 用括号中所给单词的正确形式填空。
1. It didn’t turn _____ as I had wished.
2. The equipment is checked on a regular _______ (base).
3. I have an _____________(appoint) with my dentist next Monday.
因on a regular basis是固定搭配，意为“有规律地”。
out
因turn out是固定搭配，意为“结果是；证明是”。
basis
appointment
作动词have的宾语，且前有冠词an修饰，故用名词。have an appointment with sb意为“与某人有预约”。
4. The winning numbers are ___________(random) selected by computer.
5. With the help of a calculator, we can do the whole __________ (calculate).
6. The driver declared _______ (guilt) may be fined a maximum
of HK ＄25,000.
“冠词+形容词”后填名词，故填calculation。
修饰谓语动词are selected应用副词。
calculation
randomly
guilty
句中已有谓语may be fined，故 declared是非
谓语动词；又因 declare sb + adj. 是固定结构，
在句子作后置定语修饰the driver，故填guilty。
7. He went to fetch some _______________(handkerchief) to help the injured stop bleeding.
8. A bomb __________ (explode) in a crowded railway station the other day, killing five people.
由时间状语the other day可知，应用一般过去时。
在some后面的名词，要用复数形式。
exploded
handkerchiefs
9. The farm owner ________ (divide) us students into three groups as we arrived at the farm.
10. Carson _______ (urge) people to make themselves aware of the facts and do something about the situation in the last meeting.
由时态一致原则和arrived可知，填divided。
urged
divided
由in the last meeting 可知，此处应填 urged。注意：make them aware of the facts and (make them) do something…为并列关系。

本文是一篇记叙文，体现了 “人与社会” 的主题语境。本文主要讲述莎莉的丈夫去世后，她感到很孤独；一次不小心摔倒后，她的子女给她买了机器人，在机器人的精心照顾下，她摆脱了寂寞。
1. A 选项：husband老公；niece侄女，外甥女；candidate候选人；civilian 平民。由文章首句 “Sally couldn’t dismiss her loneliness” 和此句的 “passed away” 可推知，莎莉变得孤单寂寞，应该是“丈夫(husband)”去世了。
2. C 选项：seed种子；prejudice偏见；salary工资；sympathy同情心。由上文的“…chairwoman of a successful science company”可知，莎莉的女儿是一间成功的科技公司的董事长，可推知她的“工资(salary)”很高。
3. A 选项：randomly随机地；fortunately幸运地；cruelly残忍地；suddenly突然。由上文的“Sally, couldn’t dismiss her loneliness. Because her 1 , passed away.”可知，莎莉的丈夫去世后，她难以消除她内心的孤单寂寞，一个人购物，漫无目的，“随机地(randomly)”去拿东西。
4. B 选项：sowed播种；calculated计算，核算；polished擦亮；abandoned放弃。由上文中的“fifty grammes(50克)”这一个精确的数字可知，这肯定被售货员“计算(calculated)”过。
5. D 选项：respected尊重；rhymed使押韵；formatted使格式化；lost失去。由空后的“her balance and fell”可知，她“失去(lost)”平衡，然后摔倒了。
6. C 选项：superior更好的；annual每年的；maximum最大极限的；average平均的。由本句“The salesman nearby caught her…, but Sally was still hurt”和常识可知，在她附近的售货员肯定会以他“最大极限的(maximum)”速度接住她，但莎莉依旧摔倒了，前后进行对比。
7. B 选项：recited背诵；returned回来；appeared出现；broadcast广播。由上文的“She was rushed to the hospital.”和常识可知，她被紧急送往医院，孩子们听到这消息后，很快就“回来(returned)”了。
8. B 选项：enthusiastic热情的；guilty内疚的；decent得体的；sensitive敏感的。从空前的“As they didn’t look after Sally well”可知，没能好好照顾莎莉，他们感到多么的“内疚(guilty)”。
9. C 选项：nail指甲；venue场地；urge强烈的欲望；mud泥巴。空前句提到，莎莉摔倒并被送往医院，孩子们没能好好照顾莎莉，他们感到很内疚。又由上文提到儿子在国外和女儿经常出差可知，经过讨论，他们“迫切想要(urge)”买一个机器人来照顾莎莉，且have an urge to为固定搭配，意为“有强烈的欲望做某事”。
10. D 选项：turned down拒绝；submitted to屈服；shaved off刮去；tested out测试。由本句“He looked more like a human than a machine and had been 10 repeatedly by a panel superior to any team.”可知，杰克看着不太像机器，而更像个真人，它被一个比任何团队都优秀的小组反复“测试(tested out)”过。
11. C 选项：restored恢复；tolerated忍受；exploded勃然大怒；assigned分派。由本句“Fearing she might be taken over by Jack, Sally 11 , declaring she would never live with a robot.”可知，她害怕有可能被杰克控制住，莎莉 “勃然大怒(exploded)”，并宣称她决不会与一个机器人一起住。
12. A 选项：dismiss让(某人)离开，解雇；restrict限制；bat拍打；stimulate激发。由空后的“as her kids were away soon.”可知，因为她的孩子们很快就要离开，不能再照顾莎莉，所以此时让杰克“离开(dismiss)”是不可能的。
13. D 选项：refreshed刷新；absorbed 吸收；released 释放；cooked烹饪。由空后的“…tasty meals for her”可知，杰克会为她“煮(cooked)”美味的食物。
14. A 选项：appointments预约；divisions分开；leathers皮革；inches英寸。由前文可知，莎莉被托尼照顾得很好，每月带她去看“预约(appointments)”的医生。
15. D 选项：integrity诚实正直；dignity庄重；fiction小说，虚构的事；loneliness孤单。根据第一段第一、二句“Sally couldn’t dismiss her loneliness. Because her 1 passed away.”和空格前的内容可知，莎莉的丈夫去世后，她还是难以消除她内心的寂寞。直到在杰克的精心照顾下，她内心的 “寂寞” 才得以消失，前后呼应，loneliness为原词复现。

课文经典回顾
Larry Belmont worked for a company which made robots. Recently it has begun to test 1_______ its newly-made robots. Larry persuaded his wife, Claire to take this bonus. However, she felt 2_________(alarm) when she first saw Tony, 3_____ robot. He seemed more like a human than a machine.
the
alarmed
out
He was tall and handsome, although his 4________ (face) expression never changed. With time going by, Claire changed her attitude to him and 5____________(gradual) trusted him. He always treated her with dignity and promised to help Claire make 6_________ (her) more beautiful and her home more elegant. With his help, Claire changed her hairstyle and makeup, even had an 7_____________ (appoint) to paint her nails. He helped Claire settle in many ways.

herself
gradually
facial
Once when she fell 8_____ a ladder, he managed to catch her
in time. As he held her, she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room. On the night before Tony was to leave, he declared that he didn’t want to leave Claire the next day, 9__________(hold) her in his arms. Is 10______ ridiculous for a robot to fall in love with a human being
it
holding
off
1. out 考查介词。 因test out (测试；检测) 是固定搭配。
2. alarmed 考查词性转换。因感官动词后需要接形容词，alarmed表示“惊恐的；担忧的”。
3. the 考查冠词。 特指前文出现的Tony，作Tony的同位语，故填the。
4. facial 考查词性转换。在名词前作定语，要用形容词。
5. gradually 考查词性转换。修饰动词trusted用副词。
6. herself 考查代词。因make的主语和宾语同为 Claire，作宾语，故填反身代词herself。
7. appointment 考查词性转换。作动词have的宾语，且前有冠词an修饰，故用名词。have an appointment with sb意为“与某人有预约”。
8. off 考查介词。因fall off(从……摔落)为固定短语。
9. holding 考查非谓语动词。句中已有谓语declared，故hold应作为非谓语动词；又由he 与hold在逻辑上存在着主动关系，故用v.-ing形式作状语。
10. it 考查代词。此处为it作形式主语。
