Unit 16 Stories
能力提升题组训练(A)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
It’s not entirely unusual for bosses of successful companies to give out bonuses to employees on major holidays.However,how many can claim that they are as generous as Savji Dholakia,CEO of Hair Krishna Exports?
“If we keep our employees happy,we will be happy at last,”Dholakia says.While he is certainly not the only boss to claim that he puts his staff first,he actually puts his money where his mouth is.He started generous bonuses 20 years ago,when he gave three of his top employees their own cars,and he has been upping his game every year since then.In 2015,he gave away about 491 cars and 200 apartments.In 2016,to celebrate his company’s 25th anniversary,he just gave away over 1260 cars and 400 apartments to over 1700 of his most valuable employees.
The businessman was born in a rural family in Saurashtra,dropped out of school in fourth grade and joined his uncle at a small diamond trading firm when he was just 13 years old.In 1982,he started his own business with his uncle’s support.After his three brothers joined him,Dholakia managed to turn his business into a powerhouse with an annual turnover of $750 million.He said those early days inspired him to take care of his employees.
“I realize that once you have taken care of basic needs of your family,you can focus and give 100% to work.I want my employees to give their 100%.And that’s why I want them to be free of worries of meeting basic necessities,” he said in an interview.
Dholakia also takes his employees’ family members,especially their parents,on a 15-day sponsored vacation,twice a year.Regardless of what these generous gifts mean to his workers,Savji Dholakia said,“I don’t have words to describe the happiness we see in them and the happiness we feel.”
1.What can we infer from the whole passage?
A.Dholakia’s brothers sell apartments.
B.Dholakia’s employees are very poor.
C.Dholakia’s company produces many cars.
D.Dholakia is very considerate and generous.
2.What’s the main idea of the fourth paragraph?
A.Some of Dholakia’s employees are very casual.
B.Dholakia likes helping some poor family.
C.Dholakia’s employees can’t meet basic necessities.
D.Dholakia does something to help his employees give their 100% to the work.
3.Which of the following statements is not true?
A.Dholakia gave away more than 1260 cars in 2016.
B.Dholakia obtained good education at the age of 13.
C.Dholakia takes his employees’ family members on vacation twice a year.
D.Dholakia is very happy when his employees are happy.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。印度一家钻石出口公司老板为鼓励员工努力工作,协助公司收益达标,于是大手笔送给他们汽车、楼房,还安排员工家属度假。
答案及剖析:
1.D 推理判断题。根据文中的介绍可知,Dholakia用汽车和楼房来激励雇员,并且一年两次安排员工家属度假,说明他考虑得很周到并且很大方。故选D。
2.D 主旨大意题。根据全文的介绍特别是第四段的内容可知,Dholakia想出一些办法来鼓励员工全身心投入工作。故选D。
3.B 细节理解题。根据文中的The businessman was born in a rural family in Saurashtra,dropped out of school in fourth grade and joined his uncle at a small diamond trading firm when he was just 13 years old.可知B项表达与原文不符。故

Time is something that we all are taking for granted these days.We spend hours watching TV or playing mobile games,thinking that this is just normal.I find this a waste of time.1. Every second is valuable and we should rethink of ways of spending our time.?

Secondly,you have to know what is done cannot be undone.Do not allow your mind to stay in the past.Every day is a new adventure.3. It may not be an opportunity like an immediate get-rich chance,but it may be an opportunity for new experiences.?
4. If you have only one chance to do something for someone,why not do it to the best of your ability? It should not matter whether you are being rewarded or not.You will take pride in your work because you’ve done your best.Trust me,quality efforts will be rewarded in time.?
Lastly,every moment you spend in doing things is the time taken from your life.Don’t waste your time away working day and night just for money.5. The value of your time is measured by how you spend it and whom you choose to spend it with.?
A.You will get whatever you want from working.
B.Spend more time on the important tasks instead of time-wasters.

语篇解读:本文是记叙文。作者想要减肥。但是他不断地摄入大量脂肪,又因为种种原因放弃了锻炼,最终减肥失败。

Is it possible that the sinking of the Titanic was caused by a ghost? A plot of the story below is true...but did it really happen quite like this?
Our story begins not in the icy cold waters of the North Atlantic, but rather thousands of miles away in Egypt.It is here, perhaps, that we can find the start of the mystery(谜) of the Titanic, in the year 1910, in the great city of Cairo.
One day, a famous professor of Egyptian history called Douglas Murray was staying in Cairo, when he was contacted by an American adventurer.
The American had something unusual to offer Murray, something that was certain to thrill him: a beautiful ancient Egyptian mummy case, containing the mummy of an Egyptian queen.It was over 3,000 years old, but in beautiful condition—gold, with bright paintings on it.Murray was delighted with both the object and the asking price.He gave the man a cheque immediately.
The cheque was never cashed.That evening the American adventurer died.For his part, Murray arranged to have the treasure sent back to Britain.However, it was not long before he learnt more about the beautiful mummy case: On the walls of the tomb in which it had been discovered, there were messages which warned of terrible consequences to anyone who broke into the tomb.Murray was disbelieving of these warnings until a few days later, when a gun he was holding exploded in his hand, shattering his arm.The arm had to be cut off.
After the accident, Murray decided to return to his homeland.On the return journey, two of his companions died mysteriously, and two servants who had handled the mummy also passed away.The now terrified Murray decided he would get rid of the cursed case as soon as he arrived in London.A lady he knew named Janet Jones said she would like it, so he gave it to her.Shortly afterwards, Jones’ mother died, and she herself caught a strange disease.She tried returning the mummy, but naturally Murray refused it.In the end, it was presented to the British Museum.
Even in the museum, the mummy apparently continued to cause strange events.A museum photographer died shortly after taking pictures of the new exhibit, and a manager also died for no apparent reason.In the end, the British Museum decided to get rid of the mummy too.They sold it to a collector in New York.
At the start of April 1912, arrangements for the transfer were complete, and the mummy began the journey to its new home.But the New Yorker never received the mummy or its case.For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong room was the mummy case.Or so they say.
4.In Paragraph 6, the underlined word “cursed” is closest in meaning to “ ”.?
A.forgotten B.uncommon C.expensive D.unlucky
5.In what order did the following events occur?
a.The case was given to the British Museum.
b.Janet Jones caught a mysterious illness.
c.Murray’s arm was cut off.
d.The mummy case was sold to an American.
e.A man who took a picture of the case died.
f.Warnings were written on the tomb’s walls.
A.f,c,b,a,e,d B.c,f,b,a,e,d C.d,f,b,c,a,e D.f,a,c,b,e,d
6.According to the passage, where is the Egyptian mummy now?
A.At the British Museum. B.In New York.
C.In Egypt. D.Under the sea.
7.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A.To entertain readers with a story of mystery.
B.To introduce an important historical event to readers.
C.To warn readers about the dangers of mummies’ curses.
D.To inform readers about the true cause of the Titanic’s sinking.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了一个关于泰坦尼克号沉没原因的神秘故事。
答案及剖析:
4.D 词义猜测题。根据第五段和第六段第二句可知,这个箱子带来连连厄运。由此可推知,这个箱子是受诅咒的,unlucky意为“不幸运的,不吉祥的”,与cursed“受诅咒的”意思
接近。
5.A 事件排序题。通读全文可知,事件发生的顺序为f.坟墓的墙上写有警示语,这是在坟墓建成时已有的→c.Murray直到手臂被切除才相信诅咒而把它卖给了Janet Jones→b.其后她得了一种怪病→a.木乃伊从Janet Jones手里辗转到了英国博物馆→e.一个给这个箱子拍照的博物馆摄影师死了→d.博物馆又将它卖给了美国人。
6.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句“For when the Titanic sank, one of the objects in its strong room was the mummy case.”可知,当泰坦尼克号沉船时,装有木乃伊的箱子在船上。由此可推知,该木乃伊已随泰坦尼克号沉入海底。
7.A 写作意图题。根据文章开头可知,这个故事的真实性并不确定,本文只是以一种轻松的语言向读者讲述了一个关于泰坦尼克号沉没原因的神秘故事,目的只是娱乐读者。

(keep) in drawers which children can’t reach, and all cleaning liquids in high cupboards.So we have three weeks to make our house safe.It’s not difficult, once you know how to do.?
答案及剖析:
1.to happen 考查非谓语动词。固定搭配 wait to do sth.意为“等着做某事”,符合语境。
2.after 考查介词。固定搭配 look after意为“照看”,与“while their parents go away”呼应。
3.a 考查冠词。break意为“休息”,是可数名词,此处表泛指,故用不定冠词修饰。
4.totally 考查副词。修饰形容词应用副词,故用副词totally修饰形容词OK。
5.surprises 考查名词的数。surprise此处意为“意想不到的事”,是可数名词,且被a few修饰,故用复数形式。
6.which 考查定语从句。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词为the spare bedroom, in which= where属于介词前置。
7.tries/should try in case引导的状语从句中,从句用虚拟语气,常用should+do的形式;也可以不用虚拟语气,主从句时态一致。
8.them 考查代词。空处作谓语动词find的宾语,因此应用宾格形式。
9.dangerous 考查词性转换。修饰名词应用形容词,故用形容词dangerous在句子中作定语,与the most呼应。
10.be kept 考查动词语态。句子主语Knives与keep构成动宾关系,故用被动语态be kept。
Ⅲ.短文改错
J.K Rowling,the gifted creator of Harry Potter,came up the idea for Harry Potter while she was on a delayed train.She writes down her ideas on the back of a envelope.She then went to teach English in Portugal,which she continued to add flesh to the bones of the first Harry Potter story.It was only in 1997 when she completed the story.Though Rowling’s style has been a target for some criticism,but her books appeal to readers of all age and create a special literary bond between parents and children.It is claiming that they are responsible for a renewed interesting in reading.More to the pleasure of the schoolchildren,Harry Potter has become part of the school curriculum.
答案:J.K Rowling,the gifted creator of Harry Potter,came up the idea for Harry Potter while she was on a delayed train.She down her ideas on the back of envelope.She then went to teach English in Portugal, she continued to add flesh to the bones of the first Harry Potter story.It was only in 1997 she completed the story.Though Rowling’s style has been a target for some criticism, her books appeal to readers of all and create a special literary bond between parents and children.It is that they are responsible for a renewed in reading. to the pleasure of the schoolchildren,Harry Potter has become part of the school curriculum.
剖析:come up with为固定短语,意为“想出”。
描述发生在过去的行为动作用一般过去时态。write的过去时是wrote。
envelope为可数名词,又因以元音音素开头,因此不定冠词an。
where引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是Portugal,故用where。
这是强调句型,强调时间状语only in 1997,故when改为that。
Though引导让步状语从句,之后是主句,并列连词but多余。
of all ages表示“所有年龄段的”,作readers的定语。
句型It is claimed that...意为“据称……”。
a renewed后接名词形式。a renewed interest意为“重燃的兴趣”。
to the pleasure of sb.用副词much修饰。
