Ⅱ. 阅读理解(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分)
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it.Sounds like a simple enough thing.And basically it is.But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history.The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere.To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure.For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical.Often the goal is to push their body's limits and test their individual endurance (耐力)．
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals.Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort.Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the traveler's lifestyle defines adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation.Adventure depends on the person's physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing.Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many.If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you.The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for you — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around.Go beyond your normal routine and try something new.If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking instead, through the mountains.Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
( )1.For a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose ________.
A．backpacking across a country B．wine tasting in a bar
C．hiking to some mountains D．white water rafting
( )2.To have an adventure travel, the most important is ________.
A．whether you enjoy yourself
B．whether you try something dangerous
C．where you go for the travelling
D．what you do in the travelling
( )3.From the passage, we can make a conclusion that ________.
A．adventure travel always includes something dangerous
B．adventure travel will cost you a large sum of money
C．anything that goes beyond the normal is adventure travel
D．adventure travelers like to do things to the limits of their body
( )4.The best title for the passage may be “________”．
A．Tips on Adventure Travel
B．Who Is Interested in Adventure Travel?
C．What Is Adventure Travel?
D．Popular Places for Adventure Travel
【解题导语】什么是探险旅行？对不同的人来说，答案也不尽相同，但有一点是关键的，那就是你自己要玩得开心。
1．B 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort.”可知答案为B。
2．A 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句中的“The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for you ...”可知，探险旅行最重要的是玩得开心。
3．C 推理判断题。综合第四段的内容特别是“Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many.”这句可知，作者认为探险旅行就是不同于以往的旅行。
4．C 标题归纳题。文章第一段是本文的主旨段。根据“But what is adventure？That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.”可知，本文向我们介绍了什么是探险旅行。故答案为C。
Ⅲ.七选五阅读(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Science of Risk-Seeking
Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking.__1__ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk- takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.__2__ As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay-in-the-cave types.As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.__3__ No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.__4__ To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
__5__ For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A．It all depends on your character.
B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.

烤在火上的食物散发着诱人的香味，你喝着热茶，轻松地欣赏着日落的美景。
【句式分析】
(1)本句是一个并列复合句。The food cooking on the fire smells great 为第一个分句，其中cooking on the fire为现在分词短语作定语； 后一个分句是含由while引导的时间状语从句的复合句。(2)while用作连词时，表示“在……(过程)中，在……期间”。常用来引导时间状语从句，当while从句中的主语与主句的主语一致，且含有be的某种形式时，从句中的主语和be动词往往可以同时省去。例如：
While (he was) in prison，he wrote his first novel.
他在狱中写出了第一部小说。 While (I was) walking down the street，I noticed a police car in front of the bank.
我顺着马路往前走时，发现银行门前停着一辆警车。
while也可表示对比关系，意思是“而，然而”。例如：
Some people in the world are wasting food while others are starving.
世界上有些人在浪费粮食，而有些人却在挨饿。(3)表示状态特征的连系动词look，sound，feel，smell，taste后跟形容词构成系表结构。
The song sounds wonderful.
这歌听起来很优美。
The rubbish smells terrible.
垃圾闻起来很臭。
The cloth feels soft.
这布料摸起来很软。
注意：这类系动词后跟形容词表示主语的状态特征，因而不能用副词。【单项选择】
(1)This kind of bread tastes________and sells________.
A．well；well B．good；good
C．well；good D．good；well
(2)This strange grass never seen before seems________to be a new plant.
A．likely B．possibly
C．probably D．particularly(3)At school，some students are active ________some are shy，yet they can be good friends with one another.
A．while B．although
C．so D．as
【答案】(1)D well作形容词讲时，意为“身体好的”；sth sells well某物卖得好。(2)A 句意：这种以前从未见过的奇怪的草很可能是一种新植物。考查形容词与副词辨析。seem后接表语，因而只能用形容词likely，而B、C、D皆为副词，不能作表语，故答案为A。
(3)A 考查连词。句意：在学校，一些学生活跃，而一些却害羞，然而他们能成为好朋友。while作并列连词表示“却，而”之意，符合题意。2．(课文重现)As well as the group guide，all teams have cooks and porters.
除了导游外，所有长途徒步队都配有厨师和搬运工。
【句式分析】
本句为简单句。as well as the group guide为介词短语，意为“除……之外还……”。as well as 是英语中常用的连接词，其常见用法有：
(1)as well as 可连接并列的词或短语。例如：
While in Chongqing，we have to pay for food as well as accommodation.
在重庆期间，我们除了付住宿费外，还得付饭钱。
(2)由as well as 连接两个名词或代词作主语时，谓语动词应与前者保持一致。例如：
I as well as my friends am ready to help you，when you are in trouble.
你遇到困难时，我和我的朋友愿意帮助你。(3)as well as连接两个动词时，若前后是两个谓语动词，时态 要保持一致。如果第一个谓语动词前有助动词或情态动词时，as well as后面的动词可省去助动词或情态动词。例如：
He wrote as well as directed the drama.
他自编自导了这部戏剧。
Ada could sing as well as dance when she was very young.
埃达很小的时候既会跳舞又会唱歌。
【单项选择】
(1)This training program can give you a lift at work，________increase your income by 40%.
A．as well as B．so long as
C．so much as D．as soon as【完成句子】
(2)足球教练，以及他的队员在精彩的比赛之后不久就被采访。
The basketball coach, ________________，________________shortly after the match for their outstanding performance.
(3)在冬季的每个星期天下午，这位父亲以及他的三个孩子总是去结了冰的河上溜冰。
The father__________________， always goes skating on the frozen river every Sunday afternoon in winter. 【答案】(1)A 考查短语连词。句意：这个培训项目不但会提高你40%的收入，还会使你在工作中得到提拔。as well as“和，也”；so long as“只要”；so much as“一样多”；as soon as“一……就”。as well as符合题意。
(2)as well as his team; was interviewed
(3)as well as his three children
3．(课文重现)And our porters carry your luggage，which means that you can simply enjoy the experience.
我们的搬运工会帮助你们搬运行李，这样就意味着你们能尽情享受这次经历了。【句式分析】
which引导的非限制性定语从句，代替前面整个句子，或指代前面句子的一部分。
She changed her mind again at the last minute，which made us all angry.
她在最后时刻又改变了主意，这使我们大家都很生气。
He said that he had never seen her before，which was not true.
他说他以前从没见过她，这是不真实的。【关系词填空】
(1)Jim passed the driving test，________ surprised everybody in the office.
(2)That evening，________I will tell you more about later，I ended up working very late.
【完成句子】
(3)他的房子尽管是一百多年前建造的，但它在地震过后依然耸立。
His house，________________________， stood still in the earthquake.(4)他去年去了埃及，埃及在非洲。
Last year he went to Egypt，________________.
【答案】(1)which 考查which引导的非限制性定语从句。which在此指代吉姆通过驾驶考试这件事，that不用于非限制性定语从句。(2)which 考查定语从句。That evening为先行词，后为非限制性定语从句。从句中tell you后缺宾语，故用which引导。that不能引导非限制性定语从句，what不引导定语从句，when作状语。
(3)which was built a hundred years ago
(4)which is in Africa4．(课文重现)Accommodation is in comfortable hotels in Beijing and Lhasa，hostels on the hiking trip，and one-or two-person tents for camping.
在北京和拉萨，食宿在舒适的饭店。旅行途中住旅店，宿营地则配有单、双人帐篷。【句式分析】
(1)本句是简单句。其中hotels以及tents作介词in的宾语，整个介词短语在句中充当表语。
(2)one-or two-person是表示数量的短语，在句中作定语。英语中，“基数词＋单数名词”可起形容词的作用，在句中充当定语，基数词与单数名词之间要有连字符连接。例如： a 5-room house 一个有五个房间的房子，an 18-year-old girl 一个十八岁的女孩，an 800- metre-long street 一条800米长的街道。【完成句子】
(1)他每次来上海都住在一个五星级酒店里。
Every time he comes to Shanghai，he lives in_________________________________.
(2)最使我苦恼的是，一栋七层高的大楼挡住了我家的光线。
What troubles me most is that___________ blocks out the light of my house.

In the early 17th century，the idea of the “Grand Tour” was born.Rich young English people sailed across the English Channel.They visited the most beautiful and important European cities of the time，including Paris in France，and Rome and Venice in Italy.Their tours lasted for two to four years，and the tourists stayed a few weeks or months in each city.The “Grand Tour” was an important part of young people’s education—but only for the rich.
In the 18th century，tourism began to change.For example，people in the UK started to visit some towns，such as Bath to “take the waters”．They believed that the water there was good for their health.So large and expensive hotels were built in these towns.
In the 19th century，travel became much more popular and faster.When the first railways were built in the 1820s，it was easier for people to travel between towns，so they started to go for holidays at the seaside.Some started to have holidays in the countryside as cities became larger，noisier and dirtier.
Travelling by sea also became faster and safer when the first steamships were built.People began to travel more to faraway countries.
The 20th century saw cars become more and more popular among ordinary people.Planes were made larger，so ticket prices dropped and more people used them.
Thus tourism grew.In 1949，Russian journalist Vladimir Raitz started a company called Horizon Holidays.The company organizes everything—plane tickets，hotel rooms，even food—and tourists pay for it all before they leave home.The package tour (团体旅行) and modern tourism industry was born.
The first travel agency in China was set up as early as 1949.But tourism did not take_off until 1978.In 2002，the industry was worth 500 billion yuan and became an important part of China’s social development.

北京和皇宫给他留下了深刻的印象，尤其是颐和园，他描述它为“迄今最伟大的宫殿，墙壁由黄金和白银砌成，厅堂大到可以容纳6 000人同时进餐”。【句式分析】

昨天我看见他在花园里干活了。(强调“他干活”这个动作)
I saw him working in the garden yesterday.(强调“他正在干活”这个状态)
昨天我见他正在花园里干活。 see，watch，notice，observe，hear，feel等动词后既可以接现在分词(doing)作宾补，也可接省略to的不定式，即动词原形(do)作宾补。上述结构变为被动语态时，现在分词的形式不变，但若原来是动词原形的则要在动词前加上符号to，即sb be seen/heard/watched/noticed to do sth。【拓展】
以上两句的被动语态分别是：
People were seen coming and going.
The man was seen to enter the bank.【单项选择】
I looked up and noticed a snake __________its way up the tree to catch its breakfast.

(1)本句为复合句。The prisoner then wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World为主句，其中called The Description of the World为过去分词作a book的定语；主句之后为非限制性定语从句，修饰The Description of the World。(2)best-selling adj.最畅销的；best-seller n．畅销品，畅销书。例如：
The American movie The Company is based on the international best-selling novel of exactly the same name.
美国电影《合伙人》改编自一部同名的国际畅销小说。
J．K.Rowling's “Harry Potter” series are all best-sellers.

【答案与解析】
1．B 句意：洪灾过后，那个地区的人们正遭受苦难，他们急需干净的水、药品、避难所来生存下来。本题考查非限制性定语从句。what不符合题意，排除D项。先行词为people，且在定语从句中作主语故排除A、C项，故B项为正确选项。
2．B 句意：通过服务他人的方式，一个人关注他人而并非只关注自己，这种做法和行为使人大开眼界也是值得褒扬的。which引导的非限制性定语从句可以用来指代主句的整个概念，而that不能引导非限制性定语从句。
3．D 句意：许多学龄前儿童上日间托儿所，在那里他们学习简单的游戏和歌谣。a day-care center是定语从句先行词，应用关系副词where来引导该非限制性定语从句，且在从句中作状语。其余三项均不能引导定语从句。
4．D 句意：上个星期只有两个人来看房子，他们俩都不想买这房子。由only表示的消极意义和two people可推断出用否定形式neither；后半句是一个非限制性定语从句，应用neither of whom作主语。
5．D 动词词义辨析。A．联系在一起；将人或物连接或联系起来；B．与……有某种联系；C．连接，连结；D．使联合，使结合。
6．C 考查限制性定语从句。句意：一小时之内我们就能到达我们的祖先需要好几天才能到达的地方。先行词places在定语从句中作reach的宾语，因此应用关系代词引导定语从句。
7．B 考查动词辨析。句意：父母和孩子应该多交流减少隔阂，增加相互理解。narrow变窄，使缩小，符合句意。open“打开”；widen“加宽”；leave“离开”。
8．D 先行词是reason，且在定语从句中作状语，故可用for which或why来引导定语从句，因为本句是非限制性定语从句，故用for which而不用why。
9．A 因为从句中spend为及物动词，故应用关系代词which引导，而when或in which在从句中只能作状语。what不符合题意。
10．A 句意：这个工厂每年生产五十万双鞋子，其中80%销往国外。这是一个非限制性定语从句。句子还原应为80% of the shoes are…，因此选项应既能充当of的宾语，又能连接两个分句，故用which，因此答案为A。
11．D 句意：这是怀特先生，我想他有一些有趣的事情要告诉你。非限制性定语从句中关系代词指人且作主语时需用who。
12．C 考查限制性定语从句。先行词是passengers and suitcases，既指人又指物，故选C。
13．A 第二句话是对第一句话补充说明，与第一句中的eat with their eyes相呼应，第二句表达的应该是他们宁愿点看起来很好吃的东西。故选项A正确。
14．D 句意：他给旅行社打电话预定了三张去伦敦的机票。book v．预定，预约；order v．订购，叫(菜，饮料，车等)；arrange v．筹划，准备，安排；take v．定期购买，订阅(报刊)；book tickets 订票。根据句意，所以选D项。
15．A 句意：这部新电影有望成为电影史上票房最高的影片之一。promise除了表示“允诺，答应”外，还有“有……的希望”的意思；agree“同意，赞同”；pretend“假装”；decline“衰老，衰退”。根据句意应选A项。
16．B 考查副词短语的辨析。句意：这张表格只能由你本人签字。rather than而不；other than除了，相当于but和except；more than不仅仅；better than比……好。选B。
17．A 考查形容词的意义和用法。句意：人们一直对于地球生命的起源感到好奇。根据介词about后面宾语从句的意义，可以确定前面表示的是好奇，be curious about… 是 “对……感到好奇”的意思。
18．A Be reasonable “讲理哦，你得讲理呀”。

课件12张PPT。Period Three Grammar一、静态性动词与动态性动词
1．动态性动词可用于进行时态，而静态性动词却不可，这是两类动词最根本的区别。
John is writing to his father.
约翰正在给他父亲写信。
John resembles his father.
约翰长得像他父亲。2．有些动词可兼作两类动词，但意思不同。
(1)hold的主语是人，指“握住”，是动态性动词；主语是处所，则指“容纳”，是静态性动词。
John is holding a ball in his hands.
约翰正用两手握住球。
The bus holds 50 people.
这辆公共汽车能坐50人。(2)动词have作动态性动词用时，相当于take，get，receive，eat，drink等词，可用于进行时态；当作静态性动词用时，表示“拥有”，相当于own，possess等词，没有进行时态。
I was having my coffee quietly.
当时我正在默默地喝咖啡。
The man has a new car.
这个人有辆新车。二、限制性定语从句和非限制性定语从句
1．限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语，如果去掉，主句的意思就不完整或失去意义。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切，不可用逗号分开。
She has found the necklace(that) she lost two weeks ago.
她找到了她两周前丢失的项链。How do you apologize to your friend whose bike you lost?
你怎样向那位被你弄丢自行车的朋友道歉？
The accident happened on the day when I lost my job.事故发生在我丢掉了工作的那一天。
2．非限制性定语从句和主句的关系不是十分密切只是对先行词作些附加的解释和说明，如果去掉，主句的意思仍然很清楚。从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开。The old man has two sons，who are both doctors.
老人有两个儿子，他们俩都是医生。
I spent a whole afternoon with Mary，who was very kind and beautiful.
我整整一个下午都和玛丽在一起，她非常善良而且美丽。3．使用非限制性定语从句时应注意的问题
(1)非限制性定语从句通常不能用that引导，但限制性定语从句可以用that或which引导。
I like the book，which was bought yesterday.
我喜欢这本书，这是昨天买的。
I like the book which/that was bought yesterday.
我喜欢昨天买的那本书。(2)非限制性定语从句不能用why引导。要用for which代替why。
I had told them the reason，for which I didn't attend the meeting.
我已经把理由告诉了他们，为什么我没有去参加会议。
I had told them the reason why I didn't attend the meeting.
我已经告诉了他们我为什么没有去参加会议的理由。(限制性定语从句“the reason why…”是常见搭配)
(3)非限制性定语从句置于句首时，不能用which引导，只能用as引导。关系代词as引导非限制性定语从句位置比较灵活，可以放在主句前，也可以放在主句后。
As I expected，he didn't believe me.
正如我所预料的，他不相信我的话。
(4)在非限制性定语从句中，指人的关系代词作宾语时，只能用宾格whom；不能用who替换，也不能省略。
Do you know Tom，whom we talked about?
你认识汤姆吗？我们谈到过他。Unit 8 Period Four

【答案与解析】
1．C 句意：他正以一个奇怪的角度昂着头，似乎在局促不安地凝视着什么。at a(n)…angle “以……角度”。ankle “(脚)踝”；direction “方向”；altitude “高度”。
2．C 句意：然后事实震撼了我，他是个盲人，他最后看见的一件事就是他女儿的出生。上文的“blind”已暗示。
3．A blank“空白的”。根据句意可知，眼睛失明后，什么也看不到了，所以就是一片空白。最大的干扰项empty，强调事物内部空洞无物。
4．C David多灾多难，母亲死于癌症，虚弱的父亲只得把他交给政府来养。give up…to…“把……交给……”。
5．A 祸不单行，与他相依为命的导盲犬为了救他也遇难了。from bad to worse“每况愈下”，故A项正确。
6．B 根据句意可知，两年前，他心爱的导盲犬把他从一辆行驶的卡车下拉开。结果，他得救了，而爱犬却不幸遇难。path“道路(the space in front of sth as it moves)”。
7．C 根据句意可知，狗遇难了。A项如表示遇难应用be killed；B项不符合语境；D项所描述的和前面的境况不一致，故应选C。
8．B 根据上下文可知，“obstacles(障碍)”应为空格内所填词的宾语，所以空格处应表示“克服(overcome)”。
9．B 根据倒数第三段的倒数第二句中“Since this is an emergency room”可知，应选B。an emergency room“急诊室”。
10．D come by“设法得到”。根据句意可知，完成这项工作相当难。
11．A 句意：这是一个为帮助盲人而创建的组织。be intended to do…“用来……；为……而准备”。
12．A 句意：他想做一份冲洗X射线胶片的工作，因为这份工作大家都必须在黑暗中完成。根据常识可知，空格处应表示“每个人”。“__12__，not just he，must do…”是定语从句，修饰先行词something。
13．C 根据句意可知，做这份工作要在黑暗中进行，包括视力正常的人。normal“正常的”。
14. D 根据上下文可知，这家组织给好几家医院打了电话，尽管那些医院愿提供前三个月的薪水，但是都没有下文。此处应用even though(尽管)引导让步状语从句。
15．B 句意：David独自在一间充满化学品气味的房间工作。
16．C 句意：他不能戴手套，否则他就无法感觉。otherwise“否则”。
17．A at risk“处于危险中”与out of danger “脱离危险”对应。
18．B 句意：他每年赚2万美元，但是他的动机远远超越了金钱。根据上下文可知，此处应表示“超越(beyond)”。
19．C 句意：通过工作，我可以实现我的价值，那才是最重要的。actualize my own value“实现个人的价值”。blindness“失明”；income“收入”；experience“经历”。
20．D 句意：他是一个多么伟大的值得我们学习的榜样啊！follow…example“以……为榜样”。
Ⅱ.语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。
I was on my way to the Taiyetos Mountains.The sun was setting when my car1.________ (break) down near a remote and poor village.Cursing(诅咒) my misfortune，I was wondering where I was going to spend the night when I realized that the villagers who had gathered around me were arguing as to 2.________should have the honor of receiving me 3.________a guest in their house.Finally，I accepted the offer of an old woman who lived alone in a little house.While she was getting me 4.________(settle) into a tiny but clean room，the head of the village was tying up his horse to my car to pull it to 5.________small town some 20 kilometres away 6.________ there was a garage.
I had noticed three hens running free in my hostess’s courtyard and that night one of them ended up in a dish on my table.7.________villagers brought me goat’s cheese and honey.We drank together and talked8.________(merry)till far into the night.
When the time came for me to say goodbye to my friends in the village，I wanted to reward the old woman9.________the trouble I had caused10.________.
【答案与解析】
1．broke 本文讲述的是已经发生的一个故事，根据上文“was setting”的时态，可知break应用过去时。注意它的拼写形式。
2．who 他们就谁能荣幸招待“我”争论不休。这是一个宾语从句，who在从句中作主语。
3．as receive招待，这里指把“我”作为一个客人招待。as作为，常见的短语有consider…as；regard…as；treat…as等等。
4．settled settled此处是过去分词，表示“我”被安置到一个虽小但整洁的房间。
5．a 此处考查的是冠词，二十千米远的一个小镇，表泛指。
6．where 本题考查的是定语从句，town是先行词，关系副词where在从句中作状语。村长用他的马把“我的”车拉到了20千米远的小镇上，在那里有一个汽车修理厂。
7．Other/Some 注意单词的首字母应该大写。
8．merrily 注意应用merry的副词形式，修饰talk。句意为：我们一起饮酒，高兴地谈到深夜。
9．for for表示原因。“我”想报答老妇人是因为“我”给她带来了麻烦。reward…for为……而酬报。
10．her 此处缺少代词，cause sb trouble给某人带来麻烦。
Ⅲ.读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
I remember the first time I met Roy. He was telling a joke. When he reached the final line， everyone burst out laughing. “A popular boy，” I thought to myself. My name is Daniel， I was the new boy in the class. There were 33 students in my new class， and most people weren't very interested in a shy new boy. Roy was kind to me. He often invited me to join his particular group， and we became good friends. We trusted each other and we could talk about personal matters.
Five years later， Roy and I are still in the same class. But just under a year ago， Roy's father was knocked over by a car. He died a few days later. The family had difficulty with finance. Roy changed completely. He started losing friends， including me.
About three months ago， a group of us were playing football together after school. Having left something in the classroom， I went inside to get it， and found Roy going through the pockets of people's coats. He had a wallet in his hand—and I knew it wasn't his！ Roy's face went red. “I'll put it back right now，” he said， and he did so. I turned round and walked out without saying a word. I really hoped that Roy would explain why he had been stealing， but instead he started avoiding me.
Last week our school had a big fair in order to raise money for a charity and we made about ￡500. But to our surprise， the next morning， we were told that the money had been stolen. This morning I decided to ask Roy about the theft so I went to see him. Roy was out. I put his jacket on and put my hands in the pockets. I could feel a lot of paper notes and I pulled them out. It looked as if there was about ￡500 there. I was so surprised that I just stood there， holding the notes in my hand. At that moment， Roy walked in.
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下画线的关键词语；
3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好，不计入总词数；
4.续写完成后，请用下画线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand， Roy felt panicky(恐慌的).
Paragraph 2：
We went to the headteacher Mrs Smith together.
【答案】
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Seeing me stand there with the money in my hand， Roy felt panicky(恐慌的). I became very angry， asking him if it was the money that we raised last week. His face went red， admitting that he had stolen it in a low voice. I slowly calmed down and hugged him， telling that I would be willing to help him overcome his difficulty. He wept and then we had a sincere talk fact to face. At last we agreed to return the money.
Paragraph 2：
We went to the headteacher Mrs Smith together. In the teacher's office， Roy returned the money to Mrs Smith， and guaranteed not to do such things again. Though Mrs Smith was so surprised that she couldn't believe her eyes， she praised him for his courage and correction and told him if he had any difficulty with finance she would be ready to help him. Roy was moved to tears. After that， we became good friends again. We trusted each other and shared sorrow and happiness together.

我们用完了牛奶和果汁。
They have run out of ideas.
他们已经想不出任何办法了。run away 逃跑；跑开

(2)run out意为“用完了”，是不及物动词短语，其主语通常为时间、食物、金钱等名词，其后不跟宾语，且不用于被动语态，意思是“某物用完了”。【辨析】 run out of/run out

【答案】(1)D (2)B1．(课文重现)Then came the total darkness of the polar winter.
接着，漆黑的极地冬夜开始了。
【句式分析】
这是一个倒装句，主语是the total darkness of the polar winter，谓语动词为came。倒装的原因是句子主语太长，为了保持句子平衡而把谓语动词came直接置于主语之前，这种倒装称为全部倒装。采用全部倒装语序的句型有：
(1)当then位于句首，谓语动词为come(follow)时。
Then came a new difficulty.接着出现了新的困难。
Then followed 8 years of the Anti-Japanese War.
接着是八年抗日战争。(2)当there或now位于句首，谓语动词为come(go)时。
There goes the bell.铃响了。
Now comes your turn.现在轮到你了。
(3)当there位于句首，谓语动词为be，live，fly，lie，stand，remain等动词，表“存在”时。There once lived a poor farmer who had 4 sons.
那里曾经住着一个穷苦的农夫，他有4个儿子。
There were many things to be done.
有很多事情要做。
(4)当here位于句首，动词为be时。
Here is world's largest tropical forest.
这里是世界上最大的热带森林。Here are some picture books.
这是些图画书。
注意：当主语为代词时，不用倒装。
Here/There he comes.他来了。
(5)当方位副词out，in，up，down，away，off等位于句首，谓语动词是come，go，rush等表示位置转移的动词，且主语较长时。
Up went the arrow into the air.
箭射向了天空。
The door opened and in rushed the crowd.
门开了，人们一下子冲了进来。
(6)当句首状语为表示地点的介词短语时，也常常引起全部倒装。In a lecture hall of a university in England sits a professor.
在英国一所大学的报告厅里坐着一位教授。
Behind him hung his photograph taken in Mecca.
在他的身后挂着一张他在麦加拍的照片。
【单项选择】
(1)—Is everyone here?
—Not yet…Look，there________the rest of our guests!
A．come B．comes
C．is coming D．are coming(2)At the meeting place of the Yangtze River and the Jialing River______，one of the ten largest cities in China.
A．lies Chongqing
B．Chongqing lies
C．does lie Chongqing
D．does Chongqing lie【答案】(1)A 考查倒装句。句意：——人人都到了吗？——还没有。看，剩下的客人来了。当there位于句首，主语是名词的话，句子用完全倒装。
(2)A 句意：重庆位于长江和嘉陵江的交汇处，是中国十大城市之一。考查倒装句。表示方位的地点状语提前，句子完全倒装，所以选A项。2．(课文重现)He had teams of dogs pulling the sledges and all his men were on skis.
成队的狗为他拉雪橇，所有人都配有滑雪板。
【句式分析】
此句中运用了一个结构have sb/sth doing，意为“使……做”。
My mum has me reading the poem.
我妈妈让我一直读那首诗。have sb/sth doing现在分词表示进行和持续，宾语是动作的执行者。
have sb/sth do动词原形表示动作未完成，宾语是动作的执行者。
have sb/sth done过去分词表示已经完成，宾语是动作的承受者。【拓展】【语法填空】
(1)Hurry up！Don't have the car________ (wait)at the gate.
(2)He fell off the bike and had his legs ________(break)．
(3)When he comes back，I'll have him ________(call)you back.
【答案】(1)waiting (2)broken (3)call3．(课文重现)…then the horses began to have serious difficulties with the snow and the cold.
……后来，马匹开始艰难应付大雪和严寒。
【句式分析】
have difficulty/trouble with sth＝have difficulty/trouble (in) doing sth干某事有困难
He has much difficulty with maths.
他数学方面困难很大。I have some difficulty (in) learning English.
我在英语学习上有困难。
The next to go was Captain Oates，who was having great difficulty walking.
接下来离开的是行走艰难的欧茨上校。
They are having a lot of trouble with the new baby.
新生的婴儿给他们添了许多麻烦。
注意：本结构中，difficulty和trouble一般不用复数。在difficulty前可以加much/great/little/no/a lot of等修饰。
difficulty或trouble还可换成a hard time，即have a hard time (in) doing/with sth指“好不容易完成某事”。【单项选择】
(1)Once you understand this rule，you'll _______no difficulty_______with such problems.
A．have；in dealing B．get；in dealing
C．have；to deal D．have；dealt
(2)When Peter speaks in public，he always has trouble________the right things to say.
A．thinking of B．to think of
C．thought of D．think of
【答案】(1)A
(2)A 句意：Peter在公共场合讲话时，总难找到合适的话语。have trouble/difficulty/ problems (in)doing sth是常用结构。
4．(课文重现)Later，these rocks proved that at one time in the distant past the Antarctic was covered by plants.
后来这些石块证实，在遥远的过去，南极洲曾经被植被覆盖。【句式分析】
句中的prove后接宾语从句，意思是“证明；证实”(＝turn out)。
The facts prove that he is a brave fighter.
事实证明他是一位勇敢的战士。
It proved that my initial judgement was right.
结果证明我最初的判断是正确的。(1)prove后跟名词或代词
(2)prove证明是(系动词)【拓展】
【单项选择】
He________a spy of the enemy.
A．proved B．was proved
C．proving D．is proved
【答案】A5．He had failed to win the race to the Pole，but the extraordinary courage shown by Captain Scott and his men made them into heroes.
尽管他们输掉了奔向南极的比赛，但斯科特上校和他的伙伴们所表现出的非凡勇气足以使他们成为英雄。【句式分析】
本句为but连接的并列句。前一个分句中，fail to do译为“没有做成”；后一个分句中，shown by Captain Scott and his men为过去分词作定语，修饰courage。
He never failed to e-mail his parents every week when he was in London.
他在伦敦期间每周从未耽误给他的父母发一封电子邮件。【单项选择】
The players________from the whole country are expected to bring us honor in this summer game.
A．selecting B．to select
C．selected D．having selected
【答案】C 考查非谓语动词作定语的用法。句意：人们期待着从全国各地挑选出来的运动员能在今年夏季的赛事中给我们带来荣誉。select修饰players，为被动关系，只有C选项表被动。故选C。Unit 8 Period Five

A
A new collection of photos brings an unsuccessful Antarctic voyage back to life.
Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding—undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism—if they had been made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916, most of them after a disastrous shipwreck (海难), by a cameraman who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, under freezing water, in the damaged wooden ship.
The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master that was intended to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists, 27 men in all, to the southernmost shore of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea. From that point Shackleton wanted to force a passage by dog sled (雪橇) across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four companions on the march back.As writer Caroline Alexander made clear in her forceful and well-researched story The Endurance, adventuring was even then a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world’s imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a business before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography. Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer who knew the Antarctic, was hired to make the images，most of which have never before been published.
( )1.What do we know about the photos taken by Hurley?
A．They were made last week.
B．They showed undersea sceneries.
C．They were found by a cameraman.
D．They recorded a disastrous adventure.
( )2.Who reached the South Pole first according to the text?
A．Frank Hurley. B．Ernest Shackleton.
C．Robert Falcon Scott. D．Caroline Alexander.
( )3.What does Alexander think was the purpose of the 1914 voyage?
A．Artistic creation. B．Scientific research.
C．Money making. D．Treasure hunting.
【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。1914年到1916年间，一群海员和科学家踏上了南极探险之路。结果他们在回来的路上发生海难，其中一个摄影师在临死之前拍摄了大量的照片，并把照片封存在破损的木船的冰块箱里。通过这些照片我们可以了解到那次不太成功的探险经历。
1．D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的第二句可知，这些照片记录了一次灾难性的冒险，故选D项。
2．C 推理判断题。根据第三段可知，被发现的照片所展示的这次旅行是为了获得比Robert Falcon Scott船长先前的探险更大的收获，该船长在1912年就到达了南极。由此推断Robert Falcon Scott是最先到达南极的人，故选C项。
3．C 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知这个作家在她的小说The Endurance中说，在那时，探险就已经是纯商业活动(a thoroughly commercial effort)了，因此1914年航行的目的是赚钱(money making)，故选C项。

Sir Ernest Shackleton was an explorer who was born in southern Ireland, but grew up in London.In 1901 Shackleton got a place on Captain Scott’s first Antarctic expedition (探险队) on the Discovery.In 1907, he led his own British Antarctic Expedition on the Nimrod and received a hero’s welcome when he returned.
After Scott died in 1912, Shackleton chose to tackle the challenge of Antarctica in a different way.He decided he would try to journey across the Antarctic from one side to the other through the South Pole.
In 1914, Shackleton led a party on the ship Endurance cross the Antarctic from one side to the other.On 19 January 1915, Endurance became locked in the ice of the sea.Over the course of the next nine months the ship was gradually destroyed, finally sinking on 27 October.It proved impossible for the 28 men to pull their boats and stores across the frozen sea, so Shackleton camped on the ice and drifted (漂流) with it.
Shackleton and his men were cold and exhausted, and weak from the difficulties of the journey.They knew they would not be found and could not all sail further.Therefore, Shackleton and five others left most of the party behind and reached the nearest island where they found help and the whole party survived.
Although the expedition failed because Shackleton did not reach the South Pole, in other ways it was his biggest success.He overcame (战胜) great difficulties to bring his men safely home after the Endurance was trapped and destroyed.
On 5 January 1922, Shackleton died of a heart attack.He was on his way to the Antarctic again, on board another ship the Quest.
( )4.The underlined word “tackle” in the second paragraph probably means “________”．
A．think of B．turn down
C．talk about D．deal with
( )5.Shackleton’s most difficult journey of exploration was on the ship ________.

( )6.Why did the expedition on the Endurance become Shackleton’s biggest success?

B．He managed to get help and save the lives of the whole party.
C．He and his men pulled their boats and stores across the frozen sea.

A．Captain Scott was the first to reach the South Pole.
B．Shackleton was a determined and responsible man.
C．Scott and Shackleton both died of heart attacks.
D．Scott and Shackleton were good friends for many years.
【解题导语】本文主要讲了Shackleton和他的船队极地探险之旅。
4．D 词义猜测题。根据下文可知，Shackleton在Scott死后继续了他的极地探险，故此处tackle与deal with意义相近，表示“应对(挑战)”。
5．C 细节理解题。根据第三段内容可知，Shackleton乘Endurance在海上遭遇了冰的封堵，船最终毁掉下沉。故这次最为艰难。
6．B 推理判断题。根据第五段内容可知Shackleton的成功之处在于他将他的队员安全带到家，拯救了整个团队。
7．B 推理判断题。从文章中不难看出Shackleton不仅不畏艰难，勇于去探险，还在关键时刻为自己的队员负责，努力帮助他们脱离险境，故他是一个意志坚定且很负责任的人。
C

Exactly a decade has passed since a man called Oxygen first threw himself across America.Known for his jumping ability, Oxygen, a Czech, who jumped a nearly 10-foot-wide abyss. Today, Petr Kops, 21, is wearing Oxygen’s pants.“I did not know Oxygen personally, but my sister did，” Kops said.“I wear his trousers for good luck.” Minutes later, Kops was standing at the edge of a 70-foot abyss called Broken Bones.
While it may seem suicidal (自杀的), jumping across a gap is actually an extreme sport that is gaining in popularity.Called rock jumping, or simply jumping, this activity is taking place in the Adrspach-Teplice Rocks, a remote nature preserve in the northeast part of the Czech Republic.Known for its 11 square miles of sandstone, the region has been loved by lifelong rock climbers.“The aim is to get to the top of as many towers as you can.” said Vladimir Prochazka，known as June Bug，a 59-year-old climber and a collector of Czech rock climbing histories.
Jumping is often the most possible way to get to the tower.In most cases, climbers jump with a rope tied around their waist.If they miss the landing — which is not uncommon — they will fall into the wall of the base tower.“Jumping requires fearlessness，” Prochazka said.“Broken or damaged bones are fairly common.” Still, there are those who prefer to experience by jumping without a rope.Among the most well-known of these adventurers are Petr Prachtel and his wife, Zorka, who helped create the sport in the 1960s.They pioneered countless jumps, sometimes without the safety of a rope.

【解题导语】本文是记叙文。一位登山者为独享荣誉，一个人去登山，结果遭遇意外而丧失生命。
21．B 根据常识可知，他应该是经过多年的“准备”(preparation)后才去登山的。
22．C 因为想将荣誉占为己有，他“独自”登山。alone意为“单独地”；lonely意为“孤独地”。
23．D 联系下文的dark，可知天色已“晚”(late)了。
24．A but说明他不准备宿营，而是“决定”继续往上爬。
25．C 联系下文的信息可知，这里指“就在他爬到离山顶100米的山脊上的时候”。above是介词，作名词时与the连用，意为“上文；以上所述”。
26．B something of darkness指“黑乎乎的一些东西”。
27．D 联系上文中的“Falling rapidly”，可知他在继续下落。
28．C 这里指在下落过程中他的脑海里浮现出了很多回忆。mind指“脑海里”。
29．A 联系下文中的save等词，他认为自己必死无疑。
30．D 结合句中的“that almost tore him in half”，可知他身体被重重地震动了一下。
31．C 根据下文的hung和hanging，说明他用绳索把自己的身体“系在”(tie)树上。
32．B 根据常识，登山时应该把绳子拴在“腰”(waist)上。
33．D 联系下文他和上帝的对话，可知他是在大声“呼叫”(shout)救命。
34．A 联系下文的“Save me.”可知，上帝问“你想让我做什么呢？”
35．C 联系上文语境可知，此处意为“你真的认为我能救你吗？”
36．B 结合文章最后一句，说明他悬挂的位置离地面较近，所以上帝要他把绳子“砍断”(cut)。
37．D 从下文可知，他还是什么也没做，所以是又一阵“沉默”(silence)和静止。
38．C 相反地，他把绳子抓得“更紧”(tighter)了。
39．A 第二天救援小组发现了一个冻死的登山者。
40．D 因为没有砍断绳子，所以他应是悬挂在“绳子”(rope)上。

【解题导语】作者与丈夫在外旅行时，不慎将钱包丢失在人行道上，幸遇好心人，钱包失而复得。
41．When/While 考查时间状语从句。when表示“当……的时候”，引导时间状语从句。句意：我们在享受波特兰这座城市美景时，我们住在当地的一家宾馆里。
42．containing 考查非谓语动词。a wallet与contain之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应用动词的-ing形式作后置定语，相当于定语从句“which contained over $500”，修饰名词wallet。
43．of 考查介词。be unaware of表示“没有意识到；未察觉”，为固定搭配。
44．from 考查介词。作者收到一条来自宾馆经理的语音信息，因此用from，表示“来自”。
45．that 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句，并在从句中作主语，修饰先行词something，故用that。
46．the 考查冠词。特指前面提到的那个钱包，因此应用定冠词the。
47．found 考查动词的时态。男孩在路上发现钱包，之后把它拿给爸爸。发现钱包这一动作发生在过去，故用过去时态。该句中的brought也是提示。
48．someone/somebody 考查代词。根据空后的who可知应是人。表示“某人”，应用不定代词someone或somebody。
49．What 考查感叹句。此处表达作者的赞叹。what引导感叹句，句式为：What＋adj.＋n.＋主语＋谓语……！how引导感叹句，句式为：How＋adj.或adv.＋主语＋谓语……！由“wonderful people”可知，应填What。
50．honesty 考查词性转换。名词honesty作appreciate的宾语。

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The event that stands out in Tom's memory happened one morning when Tom was only ten years old. He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud， but he soon realized this time it was different.
“Quick！ Quick！ Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.
Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate， a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcylce shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.
Jane， who had been playing the violin in her room， hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor(走廊) through the smoke.
They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane suddenly stopped. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing， but he followed her.
Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them， who they called Makick. Jane began banging on Makcik's door， but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them， Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pyjamas—running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.
“She would have run for safety like everyone else！” cried Tom. However， Jane refused to give up.
“I know Makcik's still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik's daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded against the door. “Go downstairs. Go now！ Go！”
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.至少使用5个短文中标有下画线的关键词语；
3.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头已为你写好， 不计入总词数；
4.续写完成后，请用下画线标出你所使用的关键词语。
Paragraph 1：
Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher.
Paragraph 2：
Luckily， some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help.
【答案】
One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
Tom noticed the flame was growing higher and higher. Frozen with fear， he stood rooted to the spot. He comprehended the gravity of the situation and held Jane's hand tightly. Both of them were coughing. Time seemed to stand still， though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run to safety as quickly as possible. Jane tried to shield her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.
Paragraph 2：
Luckily， some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane's mind. She told them Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their might. Sure enough， Makcik was lying in bed， unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to hospital， where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved and Jane and Tom were very happy.
