Unit 4 重点单词，短语，句型习题检测
一、用单词的正确形式填空
The most important thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated__________(argue).
【答案】argument句意为：最重要的是尽力不要让平静的讨论变成激烈的争吵。设空处作turn into的宾语，且空前有形容词heated修饰，应用名词；由不定冠词a可知，应用单数形式。故填argument。
As China plays a greater role in__________(globe) affairs, an increasing number of foreign students are beginning to learn Chinese as their second language.
【答案】global 句意为：随着中国在全球事务中发挥越来越大的作用，越来越多的外国学生开始学习汉语作为第二语言。设空处作定语，修饰affairs，应用形容词；globe的形容词为global，意为“全球的”。故填global。
We meet__________(regular), once a month, to exchange ideas about the newly-read books.
【答案】regularly 句意为：我们定期碰面，每月一次，就新读的书交换看法。设空处修饰动词meet，应用副词。故填regularly。
Qingming Scroll has survived the test of time remarkably well, and is__________(current) housed in the Palace Museum in Beijing.
【答案】currently 句意为：《清明上河图》经受住了时间的考验，目前收藏在北京故宫博物院。设空处修饰并列分句中的housed，作状语，应用副词。故填currently。
It was lack of confidence that resulted__________ his failure in the competition.
【答案】in 句意为：就是缺乏信心才导致他在比赛中失败。设空后为结果，result in 为固定搭配，意为“导致，造成”。故填in。
Travelling abroad was limited __________rich tourists and wealthy business people decades ago.
【答案】to 句意为：几十年前出国旅游还仅限于有钱的游客和富有的商人。be limited to为固定搭配，意为“局限于”。故填to。

【答案】out 句意为：弄清楚你到底想让观众知道什么和让他们做什么很重要。figure out 为固定搭配，意为“弄清楚”。故填out。
Problems resulting from lack __________social communication,if not solved properly,may eat away at relationships.
【答案】of 句意为：由于缺乏社会沟通而产生的问题，如果得不到妥善解决，可能会逐渐破坏人际关系。此处lack为名词，作介词from的宾语；lack作名词时，lack of为固定搭配，表示“缺乏”。故填of。
Calm down and you'll find a perfect solution__________the problem you are facing now.
【答案】to 句意为：冷静下来，你会找到一个完美的办法来解决你现在面临的问题。a solution to...为固定短语，表示“·····的解决办法”，其中to为介词。故填to。
Child __________he is, he knows a lot of Chinese characters.
【答案】as／though 分析句子结构可知，此处是让步状语从句的倒装形式，其结构为“n./adj./adv.+as/though＋主语＋谓语”，当名词提前时，该名词前的冠词应省略，因此从句可还原为as／though he is a child，意为“尽管他是个孩子”。故填as/though。

1. He was determined to (下定决心) leave two days later.
2. I desire to see you(渴望见到你).

【文章大意】本文介绍了太空中有很多噪音, 以至于在那里工作的宇航员彼此之间不能容易地交谈, 有时甚至意味着他们不能睡觉, 并且太空中还有许多太空垃圾。
【答案】
1. 【解析】is described。考查时态和语态。space与describe之间是被动关系, 用被动语态, 表示经常或反复发生的事情, 用一般现在时。综上所述, 应该使用一般现在时的被动语态, 故填is described。
2. 【解析】used。考查非谓语动词。all of the equipment与use之间是被动关系, 所以用过去分词作定语, 故填used。
3. 【解析】that。考查固定用法。所有的使太空站运行的设备都太吵闹了, 以至于在那里工作的宇航员彼此之间不能容易地交谈。so. . . that如此……以至于, 是固定用法, 故填that。

5. 【解析】unable。考查形容词。有时甚至意味着他们不能睡觉。作be动词后的表语, 用形容词, 故填unable。
6. 【解析】that/which。考查定语从句。________still remain in orbit around the earth 是一个定语从句, 修饰先行词items of rubbish, 关系词在从句中作主语, 指物, 故填that/which。
7. 【解析】smaller。考查比较级。由than a tennis ball可判断这里需要使用比较级, 故填smaller。
8. 【解析】safety。考查名词。作threaten的宾语, 所以用名词, 填safety。
9. 【解析】to bring。考查固定用法。make an effort to do sth. 努力做某事, 是固定用法, 故填to bring。
10. 【解析】the。考查冠词。表示世界上独一无二的事物, 用定冠词。故填the。

The sun is going to expand into the orbit of Mercury according to scientific calculations, which will result in the entire Earth catching on fire. Who will save the world
This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing (逃离) the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. The film, which has made it the country’s most successful film of all time, has offered a different and more ambitious idea.
The “ambition” didn’t come from nowhere. For thousands of years, “homeland” has had a soft spot in the hearts and minds of Chinese people. One old idiom that shows a strong feeling that Chinese people have had for their homeland is “luoyeguigen”, which means returning to one’s homeland in old age, like fallen leaves returning to the roots of their tree.
“What is Chinese sci-fi ” Guo Fan, the film’s director, said in an interview. “A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core (核心) can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories. ”
And the makers of The Wandering Earth may have chosen the best time to tell its Chinese sci-fi story. The film was released on Feb 5, the first day of Chinese New Year. It was a time when many people had just made the hard journey back to their hometowns. So to them, there is only one possible way to tell the story: Earth goes wherever humans go, because it’s our home.

A. fleeing the Earth in spaceships
B. bringing in huge success
C. filling the gap in Chinese sci-fi movies
D. helping Earth make its escape
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据第二段This imaginative tale is at the heart of the latest Chinese sci-fi movie The Wandering Earth. Unlike many American space-themed films where the solution to a disaster Earth faces is always fleeing the planet in spaceships, this time we’re taking the Earth with us. 这个充满想象力的故事是中国最新科幻电影《流浪地球》的核心。与许多美国太空主题电影不同, 在这些电影中, 地球面临灾难时的解决方案总是乘坐宇宙飞船逃离地球, 而这次我们要把地球带上。不同的观点就是helping Earth make its escape帮着地球一起逃离。故选D。
3. Which of the following is unlikely to account for the success of the film
A. The rich imagination of the story.
B. Hollywood-style space stories.
C. The special cultural background.
D. The time chosen to release the film.
【解析】选B。细节理解题。根据第四段A vehicle that really expresses our cultural and spiritual core can be called Chinese sci-fi. Otherwise, we’re just following others and telling the same Hollywood stories. 可知, 我们没有跟随其他人来讲述同样的好莱坞的故事, 而是有自己的文化和精神核心。所以好莱坞的故事没有给这部电影带来成功。故选B。
4. What is likely to be title for the passage
A. Chinese Sci-fi Catches Up
B. The Most Successful Chinese Sci-fi
C. Chinese Sci-fi Sets a New Path
D. Chinese Sci-fi Challenges

Going Online
Last week, our class had a hot discussion about going online for middle school students. Different people have different opinions. Some students are in favor of it. First, it can enrich our knowledge and make us know the latest news at home and abroad. Second, there are many learning materials on the Internet which are useful for us to learn English. Moreover, we can make many friends online.
However, other students don’t think so. Some students play computer games instead of studying their lessons, which will influence their study. What’s worse, surfing on the Internet too often can be bad for our eyes. Besides, it’s easy for us to make bad friends and be influenced to do stupid things.
In my opinion, we should go online properly. We should concentrate on the good things. Make it a tool to help us.Unit 4 重点单词，短语，句型习题检测
