(必修三·Unit 3)
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.He was hit by a falling tree that night and killed ________.
A.on the spot B.in a spot
C.under the spot D.on a spot
答案与解析:A 考查on the spot的用法。句意:那晚他被一棵倒下的树砸了,当场死了。on the spot“当场”。in a spot“在困难中”。
2.Peter must be ill.It's the only thing that can ________ his strange behavior.
A.lie in B.result from
C.account for D.explain about
答案与解析:C 考查动词短语辨析。句意:彼得一定病了,这是唯一能解释他诡异行动的原因。account for意为“说明……的原因”。lie in“在于”;result from“起因于”,其后跟原因,与句意不符;explain为及物动词,其后不加介词about。
3.Look at the old woman who is ________.Judging from that,she must be a beggar.
A.in rags B.in good condition
C.on a diet D.in order
答案与解析:A 考查介词短语的用法。从下文“她一定是个乞丐”来推测,“这位老太太穿得很破”,故用in rags。in good condition 情况很好;on a diet 吃规定的食物;in order 整齐,均不符合句意。
4.Before entering a house in some Asian countries,it is ________ to take off your shoes.
A.a good manner B.a bad manner
C.good manners D.bad manners
答案与解析:C 本题考查manner的用法。manner作礼貌讲时,用复数形式,It is good/bad manners to do意为“做……是有礼貌的/没礼貌的”。
5.Don't be angry with the girl.She made the mistake ________.
A.on purpose B.by accident
C.in surprise D.at once
答案与解析:B 考查介词短语辨析。从“不要生这个女孩的气”可推测,“她只是偶然犯错误”,故用by accident(=by chance)。on purpose 故意地;in surprise 惊奇地;at once 立刻。
6.—Would you permit me ________ here?
—Sorry.We don't permit ________ here in the reading room.
A.smoking; smoking B.to smoke; to smoke
C.smoking; to smoke D.to smoke; smoking
答案与解析:D 考查permit的用法。句意:“你允许我在这里吸烟吗?”“抱歉,在阅览室里我们不允许吸烟。”permit常用于以下两种结构:permit sb.to do sth.和permit doing sth.。
7.After a long journey ________ through Arabic countries,he returned to the motherland.
A.wondering B.wondered
C.wandering D.wandered
答案与解析:C 本题考查词形易混词语wonder与wander。句意:在阿拉伯国家漂泊很久以后,他返回了祖国。wander意为“漫游,漂泊”,符合语境。wonder意为“惊奇,想知道”。wander与逻辑主语之间为主谓关系,所以用v.-ing形式。
8.After losing $20,000 on my last business venture,I'm not taking ________ this time.
A.any chances B.any turns
C.a tip D.a look
答案与解析:A 句意:上次生意损失了两万美元,这次我不冒这个险了。take chances/a chance“冒险”,符合语境。
9.Rose was born in Hong Kong but ________ in the USA,because her parents went there to work for some reason.
A.brought out B.brought up
C.taken out D.taken up
答案与解析:B 句意:罗斯生在香港,但在美国长大,因为她父母因某种原因去了那儿工作。bring up“抚养,带大”,符合题意。
10.Sometimes she'd ask the driver to stop in front of a particular building,and would sit ________ into the distance,saying nothing.
A.staring B.glaring
C.watching D.noticing
答案与解析:A 句意:有时她会让司机停在某一幢大楼前,而且总是坐在那里凝视着远方,什么也不说。stare在此为不及物动词,意为“凝视”,stare into the distance意为“凝视着远方”。
11.The new secretary didn't even know ________ to do with her simplest daily work,which made her boss much frustrated.
A.how B.what
C.which D.where
答案与解析:B 句意是:这位新来的秘书甚至连最简单的日常工作都不会处理,这使得老板非常沮丧。疑问代词what作及物动词do的宾语。
12.The road is covered with snow.I can't understand ________ they insist on going by motorbike.
A.why B.whether
C.when D.how
答案与解析:A 考查宾语从句的用法。句意:路面上满是雪,我不明白他们为什么坚持骑摩托车。

C.Not at all D.No.You'd better not
答案与解析:C 句意为“我把你的讲座录下来你会介意么?”“一点也不,开始吧。”根据后半句答语可知,同意对方录制。not at all一点也不,常用来表示同意别人的说法或做法;never mind没关系,常用来表示安慰或回答别人的道歉;no way用来坚决地拒绝别人;no,you'd better not用于委婉地告诉别人最好不做某事。

答案与解析:
本文作者用第三人称的口吻叙述了发生在母亲小时候居住的老房子里的三件令人感到恐怖的事情。
1.A 根据前面的语境Since there were not enough rooms for them可以推测,他们家没有足够的房间,因此母亲的两个姐妹只能共用较大的卧室。share表示“分享,共享”。
2.C 接下来的三段分别讲述了发生在母亲小时候居住的老房子里的三件恐怖的事情。第一,母亲10岁那年,莫名其妙地听见楼下有人喊叫自己的名字;第二,外婆在厨房做饭的时候,几把椅子自动来回移动,当时除了外婆外只有母亲的小妹妹在家;最后,明明听见有人敲门,但是将门打开时,门外却空无一人……这三件事都是非常奇怪的事情,故选C。
3.C 由第一段最后一句及本段第三句内容可知,她的哥哥应该是去了“楼下的”厨房。
4.C 根据下文的She asked him who the girl on the stairs was可以分析出,这里指女性的声音。
5.B 根据第一段her brother in a room down the hall and she slept in the top room of the building和本题之后的the stairs to the top room可以判断出,这里指上楼的脚步声。come up在此表示“上来”。
6.B 根据前后语境分析,这里指几小时后,母亲的哥哥过来看母亲在做什么。
7.B 根据第二段的信息词the first和第四段的信息词the last可以判断出,此处应该讲的是第二个令人胆战心惊的故事。
8.A 由下文About ten minutes later she turned around and three of the chairs were pulled out一句可推知此题答案。pull out 拉出。
9.C 根据前文My grandmother was cooking supper in the kitchen可以推测出,这里指外婆将两把椅子塞进去后又回去做饭。因此cooking符合语境和逻辑。
10.C 根据后面的语境because only my mother's little sister was home at the time可知,除了母亲的小妹妹只有外婆一个人在家,但几把椅子出出进进,自然让外婆感到害怕。故选择C。
11.D 根据故事发展的情节来分析,这里强调之最。因为前面两次并没有吓得他们搬家,而从the one that made them move away推测,这次吓得他们搬家了,因此这是最糟的一次“恐怖事件”。
12.B 根据语境when there was a knock on the door判断,这里指Josie 去开门,answer在此表示“应门声开门”。
13.A 根据后面的信息词some water和信息句when she returned to the living room可以推测,Josie是去厨房找水。
14.C gone在此表示“不见了”。
15.A 语境found Sarah sleeping in her bed强调的是结果,因此in the end(最终)符合语境。
16.D 根据后面的语境because Sarah couldn't...the stairs without help because they were very steep可以推测,这是不可能发生的事情。
17.C 根据原因状语从句because they were very steep中的信息词steep(陡峭的)可以知道,这里指Sarah是不可能自己爬到楼上去的。
18.A 由上文可知,Sarah睡到了楼上她的床上,因此这里强调Josie将Sarah带下了楼。
19.C 语境Then the phone rang表明了这里是指我的外婆打电话说我外公去世了。
20.A be about to do sth.when...表示“刚要做某事突然……”。
Ⅲ.阅读理解
The unquestioned role of a student is to learn as much as possible through whatever means it takes to acquire knowledge.Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect.No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study.Having certain skepticism(质疑)about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.
Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn.Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn.The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student.If the teacher,for whatever reason,cannot motivate the student,then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.
One method of doing this is by becoming an active rather than a passive student.The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying,the better he or she can learn.One of the best ways to become more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions.Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.
Better education comes from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information.Having a healthy skepticism can improve a student's ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.
Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all the time,even in a classroom situation.Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct.A student's question could prevent an entire classroom from becoming confused or misinformed.
There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism,and just being a downright skeptic.But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism,both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency.
1.Which of the following is the author's main argument?
A.Passive learning results from passive teaching in class.
B.A student's ability plays a huge role in the learning process.
C.A healthy skepticism fully depends on students' motivation and ability.
D.A healthy skepticism and proper attitude contribute to effective learning.
答案与解析:D 主旨题。从文章第一段的叙述可推断出D为正确选项。
2.Being passive learners,the students ________.
A.use little of their mental ability while studying
B.seldom involve themselves completely in learning
C.can hardly tell the right from the wrong in class
D.simply ask their teachers questions without thinking
答案与解析:B 从文章第三段最后一句“Students who passively...not fully using their mental capacities to learn”可推断B为正确选项。
3.According to the passage,a good teacher should ________.
A.help the unmotivated students patiently
B.instruct students in the learning process
C.make no mistakes in the teaching process
D.answer all the questions raised by students
答案与解析:B 从文章第四段第一句“Better education...amount of information”可推断出B为正确选项。
4.The author will most probably agree that ________.
A.keeping skepticism to a certain degree is important
B.having a good attitude can ensure the learning process
C.taking everything for granted makes a student learn nothing
D.a teacher's ability can be improved by encouraging doubts
答案与解析:D 从文章最后一段可推断出。

it作形式主语和it引导的强调句的比较
it作形式主语代替主语从句,主要是为了平衡句子结构;而 it引导的强调句可以强调除谓语动词以外的大多数句子成分,无论强调什么成分,都要求用连接词 that(强调人的时候可以用 who,whom)。当强调部分是状语的时候也只能用that,不用when,where,how,why等。

典型例句:
Even if Tom has to sell his house,he will support his parents.
即使要卖掉汤姆的房子,他也要赡养他的父母。

三、语法解读
(一)宾语从句
宾语从句在复合句中充当宾语。除谓语动词之后可接宾语从句外,介词、不定式、分词、动名词以及某些形容词的后面也可以带宾语从句。根据关联词性质的不同,宾语从句有如下三类句型:
1.that引导的宾语从句
要点提示:
仅起引导作用,在从句中无句法功能,本身无具体意义,在口语和非正式文体中可省略,不引导介词的宾语从句(except that除外)。
典型例句:
She took it for granted that you knew the matter.?
她想当然地认为你知道那件事。
The teacher recommended that we(should)read the novel.?
老师建议我们读那篇小说。
相关链接:
(1)引导宾语从句的连词that 一般可以省去,但是及物动词后面有两个或者以上的宾语从句时,只有第一个连词 that 可以省略。例如:
He said (that) the text was very important and that we should write it down.
他说课文非常重要,我们应该写下来。
(2)insist(坚决要求),suggest(建议),demand(要求),order(命令),propose(建议)等词后的宾语从句要用虚拟语气,其结构为“should+动词原形”或省略should,仅用动词原形。
2.whether 或if 引导的宾语从句
要点提示:
从句的意思为“是否……,能否……”,这里的if 从句不可混淆于if(如果,假如)引导的条件状语从句。
典型例句:
Do you know whether/if any decision has been ?arrived? at??
你知道决定是否已经作出了吗?
相关链接:
(1)whether可构成whether... or not或whether or not...结构,在非正式的场合下,也可能有 if...or not 结构,但没有if or not...结构。?
(2)介词后的宾语从句须用whether引导,不可用 if引导。
3.连接代词和连接副词引导的宾语从句;连接代词有:who,whom,whose,what,which;连接副词有:when,where,how,why等。
典型例句:
I will tell you why I was late for the meeting.?
我会告诉你我为什么开会迟到了。
相关链接:
(1)宾语从句一律用陈述语序。
(2)若主句的谓语动词是believe,think,guess,imagine,suppose等表示 “认为、猜想”的词(hope除外),一般要把宾语从句中的否定词转移到主句中去,即“否定转移”。
(二)表语从句
?表语从句在复合句中作主语的表语,位于主句系动词之后。
1.that引导的表语从句
要点提示:
其结构为:主语+系动词+that从句
典型例句:
The fact is that he didn’t even take the exam.?
事实上是他连考试都没有参加。
What I particularly dislike about this lesson is that it is really boring.
我特别不喜欢这课是因为它的确令人乏味。
2.wh-疑问词引导的表语从句
要点提示:
wh-疑问词引导的表语从句作“This is”和“That is”的表语的时候,它们通常不含有疑问意义,而是分别表示具体的地点、时间、原因、方式等等。
典型例句:
That is why he was late for an hour.
那就是他迟到一个小时的原因。
3.从属连词as if,as though,because,just as引导表语从句
要点提示:
as if,as though,just as 后都可接虚拟语气。
典型例句:
It looks as if we will be late.?
看起来我们似乎会迟到。
He looked just as he had looked ten years ago.
他看起来还和十年前一样。(从句为虚拟语气结构)
相关链接:?
使用表语从句时应注意的问题:
(1)主句的主语是reason时,表语从句要用that,不能用because。例如:
The reason why he was dismissed was that he was careless and irresponsible.
他被开除的原因是他工作马虎,不负责任。
(2)引导表语从句时可以用whether,不能用if。例如:
His first question was whether Tom had arrived yet.
他的首要问题是汤姆是否已经到达。
