Ⅱ.阅读理解
Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer (征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.
In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.
For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.
The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.
语篇解读：本文从地理状况、人口发展、经济情况以及社会生活等方面介绍了爱尔兰共和国，让我们对这个美丽的国家有了更进一步的了解。
1. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?
A．How the Irish fought against the English.
B．How Ireland gained independence.
C．How English rulers tried to conquer Ireland.
D．How two “Irelands” came into being.
解析：选D 段落大意题。本段的后半部分叙述的是最终结果，所以第一段作者意在阐述两个“爱尔兰” 是如何形成的。
2．We learn from the text that in Ireland ________.
A．food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population
B．people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside
C．it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker
D．different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments
解析：选A 细节理解题。第二段提到在19世纪40年代，由于土豆被疾病感染，大约75万人死于饥饿，由此可知这一时期的食物短缺导致了人口下降。本段最后一句话也是线索提示。
3．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.
A．the Irish character
B．Irish culture
C．Irish musical instruments
D．a famous Irish writer
解析：选B 段落大意题。通读本段内容尤其是根据本段中间部分的“Since independence, Ireland has revived (复兴) its own culture of ...” 可知，本段主要阐述的是爱尔兰文化。其余选项都不具有概括性。
4．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Life in Ireland B．A Very Difficult History
C．Ireland, Past and Present D．The Independence of Ireland
解析：选C 标题归纳题。文章回顾了爱尔兰艰辛的独立过程以及曾经的艰难岁月，接着概述了爱尔兰如今的风貌，所以“爱尔兰今昔”作文章标题最合适。
单元加餐练(二) 第Ⅱ卷规范增分练
Ⅰ.语法填空
You may know the English letters A, B and C, but do you know there are people __1__ (call) ABC? You may like __2__ (eat) bananas, but have you heard of “banana people”？ How strange! Are these people from another planet? No.They are Chinese people like you and me, but they aren't in China.
ABC __3__ (mean) American-born Chinese. __4__ ABC is a Chinese, but is born in the United States. Sometimes, people call him or her a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white __5__， so, when a person is a banana, he or she is American inside and Chinese outside.
Do you know why? __6__ (usual), ABCs know little about China. Some of __7__ don't speak Chinese. Also, they may not be __8__ (interest) in Chinese politics.

语篇解读：本文向读者介绍了ABC?在美国出生的中国人?的一些情况。
1．called called ABC是过去分词短语作定语。
2．eating like＋v.-ing表示喜欢经常做一件事情。
3．means ABC被视为一个整体，其后的谓语动词用第三人称单数。
4．An ABC是以元音音素开头的，故其前用不定冠词an。
5．inside 句意：香蕉是外黄内白。
6．Usually 句意：通常，他们对中国的了解很少。
7．them them指代上文提到的ABCs。
8．interested be interested in为固定短语。句意：他们对中国的政治也不感兴趣。
9．citizens 这里需用可数名词的复数形式。
10．But 前后两句表示转折关系，因此用but连接。
Ⅱ.短文改错

Ⅰ.阅读理解
The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the U．S.It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie to Albany and Troy on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city.
The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges (过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121,461,891.
For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton's Ditch (沟)”. Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.
Clinton became governor of New York in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4, 1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome, N．Y. The first part of the canal was completed in 1820. As the canal grew, towns along its course developed fast. The length of the canal is 363 miles.

Eton College is a British independent school for boys aged between 13 and 18. All the pupils board (寄宿). Founded in 1440 by King Henry Ⅵ， the school is located in Eton, near Windsor in England, north of Windsor Castle, and is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868.
The school has a very long list of famous former pupils, including 20 former prime ministers. Eton has been referred to as “the chief nurse of England's statesmen (政治家)”， and has been described as the most famous public school in the world.
Most of Eton's 1,300 students enter the school at age 13. All candidates (参加考试的人) go through a pre-assessment (预评估) at age 11. The assessment includes an interview, a reasoning test and a report from the boy's school he is in. Those offered conditional places must then pass the qualifying examination at age 13, or do well in the more challenging King's Scholarship examination.
The school is usually able to offer conditional places to about one third of the candidates at age 11. Others are placed on a waiting list to substitute anyone who may give up later. A small number of boys who have not got conditional places may enter at age 13 by winning a King's Scholarship or Music Scholarship — both scholarships are highly competitive.
The school's major aim is to encourage each Etonian to be a self-confident, inquiring, positive young man, a well-rounded character with an independent mind, and someone who respects the differences of others. By the time he leaves school, the school wants each boy to have a purpose greater than himself, and in doing so to be of value to society.

3．What does the underlined word “substitute” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Remove. B．Compare.
C．Replace. D．Educate.

Londoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books — especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of ever-increasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper.
There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in book-selling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in second-hand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet.
Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap second-hand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track,_to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small hand-carts (手推车) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs (业余爱好者), who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds.
语篇解读：伦敦人酷爱读书。本文介绍了在伦敦能买书的一些地方。
5．“Londoners are great readers” means that ________.
A．Londoners are great because they read a lot
B．there are a great number of readers in London
C．Londoners are readers who read only great books
D．Londoners read a lot
解析：选D 句意猜测题。根据文章大意及第一段中的“They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books”可以推断出伦敦人喜欢阅读。故D项正确。
6．According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________.
A．is in the suburbs of London
B．is famous for its bookshops
C．contains various kinds of shops
D．is the busiest street in London
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的一、二句“There are many streets in ... in the very heart of London.”可知B项正确。
7．In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean?
A．Buy books in a most busy street.
B．Move away from a busy street.
C．Waste time looking for books.
D．Take a risk of losing one's life.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。由下文语境可知，在伦敦东部沿街有很多书商把书放在手推车上卖，在那儿花几便士就能买到价值很多英镑的书。也就是说要想买便宜的二手书，需要从繁忙的街道到僻静的地方，故B项正确。
8．The best topic for this passage is “________”．
A．bookshops in London
B．the biggest bookshop in the world
C．Charing Cross Road
D．buying books in London
解析：选A 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述的是伦敦的书店，从出名的书店到街边小推车，故A项正确。

The Swiss army knife is a popular device that is recognized all over the world. In Switzerland, there is a saying that every good Swiss citizen has one in his or her pocket. But the knife had poor beginnings.
In the late nineteenth century, the Swiss army issued (发给) its soldiers a gun that required a special screwdriver (螺丝刀) to take it apart and clean it. At the same time, canned food was becoming common in the army. Swiss generals decided to issue each soldier a standard knife to serve both as a screwdriver and a can opener.
It was a lifesaver for Swiss knife makers, who were struggling to compete with cheaper German imports. In 1884, Carl Elsener, head of the Swiss knife manufacturer (maker) Victorinox, seized that opportunity with both hands, and designed a soldier's knife that the army loved. It was a simple knife with one big blade (刀片), a can opener, and a screwdriver.
A few years after the soldier's knife was issued, the “Schweizer Offizier Messer”， or Swiss Officer's Knife, came on the market. Interestingly, the Officer's Knife was never given to those serving in the army. The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew (瓶塞钻) for opening wine not “essential for survival”， so officers had to buy this new model by themselves. But its special multi-functional design later launched (发行) the knife as a global brand. After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe. And as they could buy the Swiss army knife at shops on army bases, they bought huge quantities of them.However, it seems that “Schweizer Offizier Messer” was too difficult for them to say, so they just called it the Swiss army knife, and that is the name which is now known by all over the world.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章向我们介绍了瑞士军刀的起源。
9．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To explain the origin of the Swiss army knife.
B．To introduce the functions of the Swiss army knife.
C．To emphasize the importance of the Swiss army knife.
D．To tell a story about the designer of the Swiss army knife.
解析：选A 推理判断题。本文主要是围绕瑞士军刀的起源展开的，由此可推断作者写作的目的是向我们介绍瑞士军刀的起源。
10．What does “It” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．The Swiss army needed a knife for every soldier.
B．Every good Swiss citizen had a knife in his pocket.
C．Swiss knives were competing with imported knives.
D．Canned food was becoming popular in the Swiss army.

11．Why didn't the Swiss army purchase the Swiss Officer's Knife?
A．The design of the knife was too simple.
B．The knife was sold out to American soldiers.
C．The army had no budget to make the purchase.
D．The new design was not considered necessary for officers to own.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The Swiss army purchasers considered the new model with a corkscrew (瓶塞钻) for opening wine not ‘essential for survival’ ...”可知应选D项。
12．Who gave the name “the Swiss army knife” to the knife discussed in the passage?
A．Carl Elsener. B．Swiss generals.
C．American soldiers. D．German businessmen.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后三句“After the Second World War, a great number of American soldiers were stationed in Europe ... and that is the name which is now known by all over the world.”可知，是美国士兵称其为瑞士军刀的。故选C项。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person.
Love
Love plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. __1__. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
Happiness and sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. __2__. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and will pass away.
Failure and success
__3__. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.
Hope and despair
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. __4__， because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same. We have only one choice — keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and be right or dull. __5__， so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
A．Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour

C．But we always tend to take this for granted
D．Success lies in trusting yourself
E．So let's enjoy every day
F．Failure is the path to success
G．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。生活充满了喜怒哀乐，充满了失败与成功，也充满了希望与绝望。生活是一个学习的过程，它告诉我们许多的真理。
1．选C 第一空前提到只有父母会无条件地爱我们，第一空后又讲到只有结婚、生子之后才能体会到那种情感。由此推断第一空选C项最合适。
2．选G 第二空后一句提到没有平静的心态，人是不会快乐的。由此可知，此处选G项。
3．选F 根据本段标题Failure and success以及第三空后一句“It helps us to touch the sky ...”可知，选F项“失败是通向成功之路”最合适。
4．选A 本段标题为Hope and despair，第四空前提到希望让生活得以继续，希望让我们有梦想，第四空的原因状语从句提到因为黑夜过后总会迎来黎明，因此此处选A项，生活告诉人们即使在最黑暗的日子也不要绝望。
5．选B 本段第一句提到昨天已经过去，不必后悔，那么只有今天努力，才会有美好的明天。故选B项。

M：It doesn't sound like very much.
W：No, so in England now, the minimum may be 5 pounds.
M：Oh, wow! So how long did you work at this job?
W：I worked all together in three different shoe shops. In the first one I worked for a year and then it closed down. After that they moved me to another one, the same company. Three months later they moved me to a new shoe shop because they were short of hands. But half a year later I left my job when I had to study for my exams at school.
(Text 9)
W：Oh, where are we going?
M：I want to show you something.
W：I know, but what is it?
M：A farm. It's just down this road. It's a small place, but at least it would be our own.
W：A farm? How can we afford to buy a farm?
M：It isn't large, only 1 acre. We wouldn't have to pay very much right now.
W：Is there a house on the farm?
M：A small one, two bedrooms, but it needs to be fixed up a little. I can do the job myself.
W：OK. Is there enough space for a kitchen garden?
M：There is about half an acre behind the house. That's plenty of space. We can probably grow a lot of our own food.
W：What are you thinking about growing?
M：Well, it really isn't big enough for corn. I thought we might try to raise a crop of potatoes.
W：Do we have enough money to get all of these?
M：I think we've saved enough. We can also ask John about the money he borrowed from us.

(W) Good morning, boys and girls. As we know, in the past years our school held many competitions successfully every year, like Singing Competition and Dancing Competition. In fact I do know most of the students will want to have the Reading Competition as was held last year. But, now we'll have something that may be much more fun. It's the Pet Competition! Well, in fact, it aims at letting all students know the importance of loving animals. Nowadays, too many people can't treat animals so well. They do not think carefully before getting a pet.
At the competition, you will not be disappointed because our teachers will not give you boring lessons to ask you to love animals. Instead, we can all learn something from a relaxing environment. There's a dog beauty contest and we will choose the best dog. The competition will be based on the dogs' ability. Unfortunately this competition is not open to your pets this year. Our school has selected five dogs for this competition. That means, we can just sit back and enjoy. So please come to join this event and vote for your favorite dogs! How can you afford to miss such an educational and fun event of the year?

When he was 22, Rob Stewart traveled the world for four years. He wanted to call attention to the mistreatment of sharks. His 2007 film, Sharkwater, documents the cruel practice of removing sharks' fins (鳍) for money and leaving the animals to die. In his latest documentary, Revolution, Stewart takes on an even bigger challenge: climate change.
The Canadian filmmaker says that climate change has harmed people and places everywhere: “It is stronger than any government or organization. If we educate people, they will make better decisions about protecting natural resources.”
According to a recent report on climate change, “The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have reduced, and the sea levels have risen.” These developments are endangering crops, wildlife, fish, and even people.
Stewart says that the consequences of climate change will be irreversible unless people take action, especially young people. “It's up to kids to be the moral compass (道德指南) of society，” he believes, “and say, ‘Guys, this is not right.’”
Many kids took action after seeing Sharkwater. Elementary school students in the Northern Mariana Islands, for example, got their local government to ban the sale of shark fins.
Felix Finkbeiner, 17, of Germany is also part of the “revolution” to save the planet. In 2007, Felix started a youth group called Plant-for-the-Planet, whose motto is “Stop Talking. Start Planting.” The group raises money to plant trees. So far, Plant-for-the-Planet has planted nearly 200 trees around the world. “Future generations are the ones who will be suffering the most from inaction (无作为)，” Felix says. His goal is to plant millions of additional trees.
“When we started four years ago，” Felix tells Stewart in Revolution, “we thought we had to save the polar bear. We thought we had to save the environment. But soon after, we found out that it's about our future, that we have to save our own future.”

The Union Jack is the national flag of the United Kingdom. It is so called because it combines the emblems (象征) of three countries — England, Scotland and Ireland (although since 1921 only Northern Ireland has been part of the United Kingdom)．
The term “Union Jack” possibly dates from Queen Anne's time, but its origin is uncertain. It may come from the “Jacket” of the English or Scottish soldiers; or from the name of James Ⅰ who originated the first union in 1603, in either its Latin or French form “Jacobus” or “Jacques”； or, as “jack” once meant small, the name may come from a royal proclamation (声明) issued by Charles Ⅱ that the flag should be flown only by ships of the Royal Navy as a jack, a small flag at the bowsprit (船首)．
The Union Jack was originally a royal flag (when the present design was made official in 1801, it was ordered to be flown on all the King's forts and castles, but not elsewhere); it is today flown above Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle when the Queen is not in residence. On news of a royal death, the Union Jack will be flown at half-mast (下半旗)．
The flying of the Union Jack on public buildings is decided by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport at the Queen's command. The Union Jack is flown on government buildings on days marking the birthdays of members of the royal family, such as the Queen's official birthday, and on the days of the State Opening and prorogation (休会) of Parliament; it is also flown on St David's Day, St George's Day, St Andrew's Day, and St Patrick's Day.
Although the Union Jack originated as a royal flag, it is now also flown by many people and organizations elsewhere in the United Kingdom. Its use as an emblem has extended beyond the form of a flag and the Union Jack is frequently shown on other objects.
语篇解读：本文分析了英国国旗The Union Jack的起源和使用场合。

“When I grow up, I want to be ...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren't only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the U．K. in May 2011 by job website monster.co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among U．K. teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are some of the most esteemed members of society, and they make good money. Joining these high-profile professions is often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career. British young men list the U．K. tycoon Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to “wealth”．
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see fulfillment and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens' survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs — coffee shop owner, gourmet (美食家), waiter at a fast food restaurant — are among teenagers' career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.

A．Bank. B．Law.
C．Medicine. D．Education.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“... in which medicine was the top choice among U．K. teenagers aged between 13 and 17.”可知，应选C项。
34．According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor EXCEPT ________.
A．respect from others B．upward social mobility
C．high pay D．the oldest profession
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段关键词“the most esteemed members of society, make good money, a sign of upward social mobility”可知，A、B、C三项都是说的当医生的好处，D项则不是。
35．What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A．Prestige. B．Fulfillment.
C．Happiness. D．Wealth.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun pathway to ‘wealth’．”可知，财富正日益成为判断成功职业的最重要指标。故选D项。
