Unit 3 单元加餐练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Mr Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films. He always gets into awkward and absurd (荒谬的) situations, which greatly amuses audience regardless of their nationality or
culture. The humour is always made clear through a series of simple and funny acts that rely simply on body language.
One of my favourite shows is Mr Bean in a restaurant. After being seated at his table, Mr Bean takes out a card, writes a few words on it, seals (密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table. After a moment, he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised, as if he did not know it was there. He opens it to find a birthday card and happily puts it on the table for everyone to see.
When he looks at the menu, a surprised look quickly appears on his face. He takes all the money out of his wallet, counts it and puts it in a saucer (茶托). He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile. Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”. When the dish arrives, he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw hamburger. He makes an attempt to eat it, but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste truly disgusting. He can't hide his feelings, except when a waiter asks if everything is all right. When this happens, he smiles and nods, showing that everything is fine. When the waiters are not looking, however, he hides the raw meat anywhere he can reach — the sugar bowl, the tiny flower vase, and under a plate. He becomes so desperate (孤注一掷的) in the end that he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting near him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant's violinist!
I like to watch Mr Bean on TV, but I wouldn't like to meet someone like him in real life and I certainly wouldn't like to have dinner with him!

Even today, Chinese knots are rich in symbolic meanings, and they therefore hold emotional value when given as gifts __10__ passed down through families.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了“结”的发展历史和今天“结”的作用。
1.artists 考查名词。根据该句中的“make complex knots that you can take back with you as souvenirs”可知,“Skilled knot ________ ”作主语,其中Skilled knot对空处进行修饰,此处缺名词,表示“人”,故可以确定应用名词artist;该词为可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,其后谓语动词为复数,故此处应用复数。
2.initially 考查副词。根据该句中的动词“made”可知,空处修饰该动词,故用副词形式。
3.before 考查连词。在开始用文字书写之前,人们起初可能用它们去记录和传递信息。before意为“在……之前”,符合语境。
4.to tie 考查动词不定式。be used to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“被用来做某事”。
5.reference 考查名词。根据空前的不定冠词“a”并结合语境可知,此处表示“一本关于结的参考书”,故用refer的名词形式。
6.were used 考查语态和时态。根据该句中的时间状语“in the Tang Dynasty”可知,此处陈述的事情发生在唐朝,故用一般过去时;根据语境可知,“结”在唐朝被用作艺术装饰并被用来表达思想情感;主语they和动词use之间是被动关系,故填were used。
7.covering 考查现在分词。分析该句结构可知,a large one和动词cover之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词作后置定语。
8.traditional 考查形容词。根据空后的“art form”可知,空处修饰该名词短语,表示“传统的艺术形式”,故用形容词形式。
9.as 考查介词。根据语境可知,该处表示作为他们文化的一部分,这种传统的艺术形式被代代相传。as表示“作为”,符合语境。
10.or 考查连词。由空前的“given as gifts”和空后的“passed down through families”可知,空处为选择关系,故填or。
