→ He was given a present by his mother for his birthday.

三、使用被动语态应注意的几个问题
1.主动形式表示被动意义
(1)当feel, look, smell, taste, sound 等系动词后面接形容词/名词构成系表结构时;当cut, read, sell, wear, write, wash, cook, shut, dry, drink 等表示某种属性且带有修饰语时;当动词表示“开始、结束、运动”等意义时。

[名师点津] 经常使用主动语态的短语:come out, come into being, go off, run out, give out, give in。
(2)want, require, need后面用动名词的主动形式表示被动意义,或用不定式的被动形式。

(3)“be+adj.+to do”中,不定式的逻辑宾语是句子的主语,用主动形式表示被动含义。
He isn't easy to get along with. 他不容易相处。

James Brown is 65 years old.He helps take care of his grandchildren at home.Last week, his one-year-old little granddaughter swallowed a small part of a toy.Luckily, she didn't choke and was still able to breathe, but she couldn't eat and had a strange cough for a while.Finally, ⑧the doctors were able to remove it.Mr Brown was terrified by the experience, so he decided that he needed to learn some basic first aid skills.
Now we have good news for people just like Mr Brown. We will be offering an everyday first aid course covering basic skills such as dealing with burns and bleeding injuries, and also what to do if a child or baby starts choking.Jo Riches will be our first aid trainer.⑨He has taught hundreds of grandparents how to perform first aid.He considers first aid courses to be especially important for grandparents, since nowadays many old people help take care of little children at home.Having some first aid skills means they'll know what to do if anything happens to the children.
The course will be held from October 10 to 15 at the Senior Citizen Activity Center, beginning each day at 9:00 am and ending at 11:00 am.We welcome anyone who wants to learn first aid skills.

No.4 课时跟踪检测
Ⅰ.阅读理解
In today's motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated.Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett — “Fail again.Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological research finds most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.In other words, we fail to “fail forward”.We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the “sour-grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour-grape effect” is a self-protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self-image,” he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript (手稿).“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy.But the “sour-grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely, rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了正确的失败观——相比于仅仅把失败当作一种幸运,更重要的是要有建设性地“失败”,勇敢面对失望,并从中总结经验。
1.Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A.To offer an example to handle failure.
B.To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C.To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.

解析:推理判断题。根据第二段前两句,尤其是段首的“However”可知,第一段提出了一个看似励志实则肤浅的观点,由此引出下文作者自己的见解:仅仅把失败当作成功的基石是肤浅的,而要有建设性地“失败”,并从中学习经验。
2.What can we learn from paragraph 3 about the “sour-grape effect”?
A.It protects us from false feedback.
B.It pictures us as competitive people.
C.It poses a severe threat to self-image.
D.It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知,“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制,会否认外界对我们的负面反馈。


3.What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5 mean
A.Unhappily. B.Mistakenly.
C.Hurriedly. D.Carelessly.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve”可推知,prematurely与“hanging on a little”相反,应是表示“提前地,过早地”。

4.Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A.Don't escape when our self-image is broken.
B.Don't quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C.Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者通过全文的讨论,呼吁大家树立正确的失败观,警惕“酸葡萄效应”,当自我形象因失败而被打破时,不要逃避,不要贬低失败的价值,而是要勇敢地面对,并从中学习和提升。
Ⅱ.完形填空
I experienced a day when I was extraordinarily 5 .I'm never a picture of grace, but on this particular day, I seemed to be 6 everything.It's an old house, and the floor is 7 in some places, so my fall was the floor's fault.But when I fell again on my way out to the car, and yet again in my own home, I began to grow 8 .Had I let myself get so stressed out that I had 9 become sick
Having been raised by parents who worked in the mental-health field, I tended to look for spiritual and emotional reasons before I headed to the local 10 .I had the calming practice that 11 yoga poses with breathing exercises.I went to 12 more comfortable clothes for the exercise, and as I removed my shoes, I was 13 !
I wasn't having a stroke at all.I had completely worn out my favorite pair of sandals.The soles (鞋底) of both shoes were split in two! I had 14 all the possibilities to figure out what was causing my clumsiness.It never occurred to me to check my soles.
So often when we start to feel 15 , we look for ways to make things better.But just as it never occurred to me to check the soles of my shoes, so our own souls are the very 16 thing we think of to check.Take a moment to remember the last time you sat still, meditating.If you can't remember when that was, it might be a(n) 17 .
The local cobbler (鞋匠) said my soles were irreparable.We had a good 18 , but it was time to let them go.Fortunately for us, our souls can be mended and restored — once we realize they are in need of 19 .
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者因为走路总是绊倒,从而怀疑自己患了中风,后来才知道是自己的鞋底出了问题。作者用自己的经历告诉人们:遇到问题要冷静思考,一旦发现问题就马上修复。

5.A.busy  B.clumsy
C.stressed D.bored
解析:根据下文的“I'm never a picture of grace”以及“But when I fell again on my way out to the car, and yet again in my own home, I began to grow .”可知,作者这天总是跌倒,所以是笨手笨脚的一天。

6.A.going through B.stepping on
C.falling off D.tripping over
解析:根据下文的“But when I fell again on my way out to the car, and yet again in my own home, I began to grow .”可知,作者这天总是跌倒,所以作者觉得什么都能绊倒自己。

7.A.uneven B.sharp
C.stained D.shallow

Ⅲ.语法填空
Chinese proverbs (谚语) are rich and they are still 1 (wide) used in Chinese people's daily life. 2 these proverbs, there are often interesting stories.For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop to help it grow”, 3 (base) on the following story.
It is said that a short-tempered man in the State of Song (960-1279) was very anxious to help 4 (he) rice crop grow up quickly.He was thinking about 5 day and night.But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 6 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches.He did so the next day.
He was very tired from doing this for a whole day, 7 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 8 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop.Unfortunately, the leaves of the crop began to wither (枯萎).
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 9 (nature) course.Being too anxious to help an event develop often 10 (result) in the contrary to our intention.
语篇解读:本文是一则寓言故事。文章讲述了拔苗助长的故事,说明了急于求成反而会坏事。
1.widely 考查词性转换。修饰动词used要用副词,故填widely。
2.Behind 考查介词。句意:这些谚语背后,经常有着有趣的故事。结合句意可知,应使用介词behind。
3.is based 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。该句是在解释谚语的内容,使用一般现在时;the proverb作主语,与base之间是逻辑上的被动关系,base使用被动语态;主语the proverb是第三人称单数,谓语动词也应用第三人称单数。
4.his 考查代词。由上文中的a short-tempered man可知,此处指他想让自己的水稻长得快。
5.this/it/that 考查代词。此处指代上文提到的帮助水稻快速成长的事情。故填this/it/that。
6.that 考查名词性从句。分析句子结构和语境可知,从句是在解释名词idea的内容,从句语意和成分都是完整的,因此使用that引导同位语从句。
7.but 考查并列连词。根据上下文的逻辑关系可知,应该使用but表示转折。
8.higher 考查比较级。根据语境可知,和拔苗之前比较,水稻的确“长高”了。故填higher。
9.natural 考查词性转换。句意:这句谚语告诉我们凡事必须顺其自然。此处用形容词作定语,修饰名词course, nature的形容词形式是natural。
10.results 考查时态和主谓一致。该句说的是客观真理,使用一般现在时;动名词短语作主语,谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填results。13 / 13

James Brown is 65 years old.He helps take care of his grandchildren at home.Last week, his one year old little granddaughter swallowed a small part of a toy.Luckily, she didn't choke and was still able to breathe, but she couldn't eat and had a strange cough for a while.Finally, ⑧the doctors were able to remove it.Mr Brown was terrified by the experience, so he decided that he needed to learn some basic first aid skills.
Now we have good news for people just like Mr Brown. We will be offering an everyday first aid course covering basic skills such as dealing with burns and bleeding injuries, and also what to do if a child or baby starts choking.Jo Riches will be our first aid trainer.⑨He has taught hundreds of grandparents how to perform first aid.He considers first aid courses to be especially important for grandparents, since nowadays many old people help take care of little children at home.Having some first aid skills means they'll know what to do if anything happens to the children.
The course will be held from October 10 to 15 at the Senior Citizen Activity Center, beginning each day at 9:00 am and ending at 11:00 am.We welcome anyone who wants to learn first aid skills.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
In today's motivational literature, failure is often viewed as something to be celebrated.Inspirational speakers are fond of quoting the words of the novelist Samuel Beckett — “Fail again.Fail better.” It seems that disappointments are an essential stepping stone to success, a turning point in our life story that will ultimately end in victory.
However, psychological research finds most of us struggle to handle failure constructively.In other words, we fail to “fail forward”.We find ways to devalue the task at which we failed, and become less motivated to persevere and reach our goals.This phenomenon is known as the “sour grape effect”, which was discovered by Professor Hallgeir Sjastad.
Sjastad explains that “sour grape effect” is a self protective mechanism.“Most of us picture ourselves as competent people, so when external feedback suggests otherwise, it poses a serious threat to that self image,” he says.“The easiest way out is to deny or explain away the external signal, so we can reduce the inconsistency and preserve a positive sense of self.We do this even without noticing.”
If you have one bad interview for your dream job, you might convince yourself that you don't really want it at all, and stop applying for similar positions.The same goes if you fail to impress at a sports trial, or if a publisher rejects the first submission of your manuscript (手稿).“We tend to explain away our shortcomings and convince ourselves our ‘Plan C’ is actually our ‘Plan A’,” Sjastad says.
It doesn't mean we should persevere in goals all the time.It can be healthy to change ambitions if the process is no longer making us happy.But the “sour grape effect” may lead us to come to this decision prematurely,_rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve.
Failures are unavoidable.By learning to face the disappointment instead of devaluing its importance and pretending nothing happened, you may find it easier to achieve your goals.
1.Why does the author mention the speech of inspirational speakers in paragraph 1
A.To offer an example to handle failure.
B.To describe a shallow understanding of failure.
C.To introduce a common attitude towards failure.
D.To emphasize the importance of experiencing failure.
2.What can we learn from paragraph 3 about the “sour grape effect”?
A.It protects us from false feedback.
B.It pictures us as competitive people.
C.It poses a severe threat to self image.
D.It denies negative feedback to ourselves.
3.What does the underlined word “prematurely” in paragraph 5 mean
A.Unhappily.      B.Mistakenly.
C.Hurriedly. D.Carelessly.
4.Which statement would the author most probably agree with
A.Don't escape when our self image is broken.
B.Don't quit when goals no longer make you happy.
C.Never hesitate to replace “Plan A” with “Plan C”.
D.Never forget to maintain a positive sense of self.

UNIT 2 课时检测(三)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。文章讨论了正确的失败观——相比于仅仅把失败当作一种幸运,更重要的是要有建设性地“失败”,勇敢面对失望,并从中总结经验。
1.选B 推理判断题。根据第二段前两句,尤其是段首的“However”可知,第一段提出了一个看似励志实则肤浅的观点,由此引出下文作者自己的见解:仅仅把失败当作成功的基石是肤浅的,而要有建设性地“失败”,并从中学习经验。
2.选D 细节理解题。根据第三段第三句可知,“酸葡萄效应”是一种自我保护机制,会否认外界对我们的负面反馈。
3.选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“rather than hanging on a little and seeing whether we might learn and improve”可推知,prematurely与“hanging on a little”相反,应是表示“提前地,过早地”。
4.选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者通过全文的讨论,呼吁大家树立正确的失败观,警惕“酸葡萄效应”,当自我形象因失败而被打破时,不要逃避,不要贬低失败的价值,而是要勇敢地面对,并从中学习和提升。
Ⅱ.完形填空
语篇解读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者因为走路总是绊倒,从而怀疑自己患了中风,后来才知道是自己的鞋底出了问题。作者用自己的经历告诉人们:遇到问题要冷静思考,一旦发现问题就马上修复。
5.选B 根据下文的“I'm never a picture of grace”以及“But when I fell again on my way out to the car, and yet again in my own home, I began to grow ________.”可知,作者这天总是跌倒,所以是笨手笨脚的一天。
6.选D 根据下文的“But when I fell again on my way out to the car, and yet again in my own home, I began to grow ______.”可知,作者这天总是跌倒,所以作者觉得什么都能绊倒自己。
7.选A 根据上文可知,作者总是绊倒;再根据下文“so my fall was the floor's fault”可知,作者认为自己绊倒是地板的错,由此判断地板不平整。
8.选C 根据下文“Had I let myself get so stressed out that I had ________ become sick?”可知,作者开始担心自己生病了。
9.选B 根据下文“I tended to look for spiritual and emotional reasons before I headed to the local ________”可知,作者觉得自己是真的生病了。literally在此处意为“真正地,确实地”。
10.选A 根据上文“Having been raised by parents who worked in the mental health field, I tended to look for spiritual and emotional reasons”可知,因为父母在心理健康领域工作,当作者感觉自己有可能生病了的时候,首先倾向于寻找精神和情感上的原因,然后才考虑找医生。
11.选D 根据下文的“with”以及“I went to ________ more comfortable clothes for the exercise”可知,作者是准备去做训练,而这个训练结合了瑜伽动作和呼吸训练。
12.选C 根据空后的“more comfortable clothes for the exercise, and as I removed my shoes, I was ________”可知,作者是换成更舒服的衣服去训练。
13.选B 根据下文“I wasn't having a stroke at all.I had completely worn out my favorite pair of sandals.The soles (鞋底) of both shoes were split in two!”可知,作者知道了自己总是跌倒的原因,所以是“痊愈”了。

16.选B 根据上文内容可知,作者误以为自己患病后,想了很多办法,却唯独没有检查自己的鞋底。本句为类比,所以心灵是我们最不会想到的去检查的东西。
17.选D 结合语境可知,如果你不记得上次静坐冥想是什么时候,那就意味着你需要这么做了。
18.选A 根据上文的“I had completely worn out my favorite pair of sandals.”可知,作者非常喜欢这双鞋。由此推知,作者穿着这双鞋度过了一段美好的时光。run在此处为熟词生义,意为“一段时光”。
19.选A 根据上文的“Fortunately for us, our souls can be mended and restored”可知,空处指的是内心需要“修补”的时候。
