2.部分倒装句式:
如果有助动词或情态动词等,将其放在主语之前;如果没有助动词或情态动词等时,要在主语前加助动词do或does(一般现在时)或did(一般过去时)。具体如下:
(1)以only开头的句子,当only修饰副词、介词短语或状语从句时,要采用部分倒装语序。
注意:①only修饰状语从句时,从句不倒装而主句倒装。

这个湖很浅,鱼不能在里边生存。

—I enjoy dumplings.
——我喜欢吃饺子。
—So do I.
——我也一样。
After that we never saw her again,neither(=nor) did we hear from her.在那以后,我们从未见过她,也没有收到过她的来信。
注意:上述两种倒装句式还可用So it it/was with sb./sth.或It is/was the same with sb./sth.两个句型来替换,意思不变。但若前句动词复杂或有肯定和否定混合时,只用So it is/was with sb./sth.或It is/was the same with sb./sth.两个句型,来表示前边所说情况也适合于后边的人或事。另外,以so开头的句子,如果表示对前边所说事情的重复,表示某人某事确实如此,不采用倒装语序。
Marx came from Germany and German was his native language.So it was with Engels.马克思是德国人,德语是他的母语,恩格斯也一样。

你工作越努力,你取得的进步就越大。
(6)以as引导的让步状语从句要采用倒装语序,其倒装办法是提前表语、状语或动词原形,提前表语时,若表语为可数名词单数,要省略不定冠词。

A
Authorities did not release(分布)the gunman’s name,but Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illinois.
DeKalb county coroner(验尸官)Dennis J.Miller on Friday released the identities of the four victims who died in the county:Daniel Parmenter,20,of Westchester;Catalina Garcia,20,of Cicero;RyanneMace,19,of Carpenters ville;and Julianna Gehant,32,of Meridan.
“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties”,Miller said.Witnesses said the gunman,dressed in black and wearing a stocking cap,emerged from behind a screen on the stage of 200 seat Cole Hall and opened fire just as the class was about to end around 3 p.m.
Officials said 162 students were registered for the class but it was unknown how many were there on Thursday.
Allyse Jerome,19,a sophomore(大二学生)from Shaumburg,said the gunman burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.
“Honestly,at first everyone thought it was a joke,”Jerome said.Everyone hit the floor,she said.Then she got up and ran,but tripped.she said she felt like “an open target”.
“He could’ve decided to get me,”Jerome said on Friday.“I thought for sure he was gonna get me.”
Lauren Carrsad said she was sitting in the third row when she saw the shooter walk through a door on the right hand side of the stage,pointing a gun straight ahead.
“I personally army crawled halfway up the aisle(通道),”said Carr,a 20 year old sophomore.“I said I could get up and run or I could die here.”
She said a student in front of her was bleeding,“but he just kept running”.
More than a hundred students cried and hugged as they gathered outside the Phi Kappa Alpha house early Friday morning to remember Dan Parmenter,who was one of those killed.
1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Everyone thought it was a joke when the gunman appeared in front of them.
B.Peters had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illinois.
C.162 students were attending a lecture when the gunman emerged from behind the screen.
D.The gunman opened fire as soon as the class came to an end.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第六段Allyse Jermome的叙述,“Honestly,at first everyone thought it was a joke”可知A项正确。第一段中的“Peters said he had no record of police contact or...”,根据前半句可知,此处的he是指的the gunman,而不是Peters本人,故B项错误。根据第四段可知,有关工作人员说有162名学生报了这个课,但并不知道案发时多少人在场,故C项错误。至于D项,本文在叙述枪击事件时并没有提到它是在课堂结束时发生的,所以通过本文无法证明其正确性。
2.How many people were shot to death according to the passage
A.4. B.6. C.8. D.162.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段可知,县验尸官Miller确认身份的有4名死难者,而在第三段,Miller又提到“Two other victims died after being transferred to hospitals in other counties(另外两个受害者在被转移到其他县的医院后死亡)”,所以总数为6个。
3.The following are not witnesses except________.
A.Peters B.Dennis J.Miller
C.Dan Parmenter D.Lauren Carr
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Peters said he had no record of police contact or an arrest record while attending Northern Illinois”可知Peters应为北伊利诺斯州大学校方人员;而Dennis J.Miller为验尸官,Dan Parmenter为死亡人员之一,只有Lauren Carr经历了此次事件而且活下来,是枪击事件的目击者。
4.What was the first thing that Jerome did when she saw the gunman
A.She got up and ran out of the room.
B.She hit the floor.
C.She burst through a stage door and pulled out a gun.
D.She tripped and became an “open target”.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据Jermome的叙述可知,当看到持枪者出现时,每一个人都hit the floor,自然也包括他自己。
5.What is the best title of the passage
A.Witnesses Tell of Horrible Experience
B.A Cruel Shooter
C.162 Killed in an Accident
D.An Unknown Gunman
答案 A
解析 主旨大意题。本文主要通过目击者介绍了枪击事件的一些详情,所以最佳标题应为A项:目击者讲述恐怖经历。
B
Sport is not only physically challenging,but it can also be mentally challenging.Criticism from coaches,parents,and other teammates,as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes.Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.
The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself.The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.Young athletes can,for example,learn how to cooperate with others,make friends,and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives.Coaches and parents should be aware,at all times,that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children.Youngsters may take their parents’ and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.
Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children.The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons.In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport.Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngsters’ performances.Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome.Research indicates that positive support motivates(激发)and has a greater effect on learning than criticism.Again,criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.
6.An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is________.
A.to make sports less competitive
B.to increase their sense of success
C.to reduce their mental stress
D.to make sports more challenging
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.”可知,stress(紧张,压力)会导致burnout(激情耗尽;撒手不干),所以阻止这种现象发生的有效方法就是减少他们的思想压力。
7.According to the passage,sport is positive for young people in that________.
A.it can help them learn more about society
B.it enables them to find faults in themselves
C.it can provide them with valuable experiences
D.it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselves
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.”可知C项正确。
8.Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes________.
A.believing that criticism is beneficial for their early development
B.without realizing criticism may destroy their self confidence
C.in order to make them remember life’s lessons
D.so as to put more pressure on them
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据文章可知,教练和家长的注意力主要在结果上,希望运动员能赢得比赛,批评多是因为对其表现不满,希望其能做得好些。他们的主观愿望是好的。但是显然没有意识到批评可能使年轻的运动员对其从事运动的热情尽失,再也提不起兴趣,否则就不会这么做了。
9.According to the passage parents and coaches should_____________________.
A.pay more attention to letting children enjoy sports
B.help children to win every game
C.train children to cope with stress
D.enable children to understand the positive aspect of sports
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,作者首先指出教练和家长不应让运动成为孩子的工作,那样就会成为孩子的一种负担。同时提到比赛的结果不如学习运动的过程重要,不管结果如何,教练和家长都要给孩子正面的鼓励而不是批评。由此可知,作者认为教练和家长应当将更多的精力放在让孩子享受运动的过程上。
10.The author’s purpose in writing the passage is________.
A.to teach young athletes how to avoid burnout
B.to persuade young children not to worry about criticism
C.to stress the importance of positive support to children
D.to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragement
答案 C
解析 主旨大意题。本文主要论述的是教练和家长对运动员的影响,指出批评可能会使孩子丧失兴趣,应当多给运动员积极的评价,由此不难看出,本文的目的是强调正面鼓励的重要性。英语人教版必修5单元测试四

第二部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when she went to pick up her daughter’s car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson saw the nickel gray Toyota Camry and used her daughter’s key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed,but when the police couldn’t find a record of it,they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took back the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn’t hers.She found Vansant’s name on paperwork in the glove compartment and looked up his phone number on the Website for the university.
When she told Vansant the car was in her driveway,“It sounded real fishy at first,like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom,”Vansant said!
He eventually went to the house with a police officer,where he was reunited with his car.According to a police report,the case was closed “because of the mistaken car identity.”Anderson wasn’t charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the “thief”.“Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition as well—so high five for Toyota,I guess,”he said.
Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong said key technology wasn’t as sophisticated as two decades ago,and there were so many ways to cut a key,making it possible for such a mix up to occur.He said the company now has a microchip embedded(嵌入)in the keys for 90 percent of its vehicles that allows them to start only with the correct key.
36.We can learn from the story that Kate Anderson________________________
________________________________________________.
A.was an experienced but unlucky thief
B.took Vansant’s car away by chance
fould unlock any car with her special key
D.was accused of theft and put into prison
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。由第一段的描述可以看出,Kate Anderson开走别人的车纯属意外,因为两辆车一样,她误以为是自己女儿的,用自己女儿的钥匙打开,开走了。所以选B项,D项干扰最强,这可以根据倒数第三段最后一句排除。
37.When Charlie Vansant received the phone call,he________________________
_______________________________________________.
A.ran as fast as he could to the police station
B.felt someone was playing a joke on him
C.suspected he would be forced to pay for the car
D.went directly to Anderson and collected his car
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。由倒数第四段他所说的话“...like maybe she wanted to hold the thing for ransom”,可以看出,刚接到电话时,他以为对方是偷走车后对他进行敲诈勒索。解答此题的关键在于知道ransom的含义。
38.Who should be responsible for the accident
A.Toyota Camry. B.Charlie Vansant.
C.Toyota Company. D.The police.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。由倒数第二段的第一句可以看出,是这家车辆公司 ,也就是Toyota制造商对这件事件负责任。
39.According to the passage,it can be learned that_______________________
_________________________________________________.
A.the daughter is more honest than her mother
B.many thefts occurred because the same keys were used
C.Toyota Camry is a kind of car,which is easier to unlock
D.the car producers should pay more attention to car identity
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由上题的分析来看,只有汽车制造商应该注意钥匙的制造,也就是说注意每辆车有别于其他车的特点,才能避免类似事情的发生。identity特征,特性。其他各项均可排除。
B
The laptop is a machine which can be a mobile office;it can be used to entertain us and people can play computer games on them.One machine can perform many tasks at the same time.As technology grows,the size of the new laptop machines is decreasing.Now laptops are lighter,have smaller screen sizes,and perform better.Smaller screen laptops,which are more convenient to take along with,have been specially designed for professionals.Huge display screen laptops are still used by graphic(绘画的)designers and those who like playing computer games.
Laptops are advanced machines,and they can be very expensive.When we spend much money on something,we should take good care of it.I know some people who buy a new laptop every year.The reason they do this is that the old one either is broken or has some problems which cannot be mon problems are the breaking of the screen,the breaking of joints of the laptop,display problems,and keyboard problems.
Different problems will always come up with machines,and they cannot be avoided(避免).Old machines will always have to be replaced by new ones.However,if we are more careful and handle our laptops with care,they will last for a longer period of time,and they will perform better.This is not a hard thing to do,but it will greatly increase the life and performance of laptops.
40.According to the first paragraph,the laptop is a machine which________.
A.is being used by more and more people in the office
B.will take the place of desktops sooner or later
C.is specially designed for people who like playing computer games
D.can be used for both work and entertainment purposes
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段的“The laptop is a machine which can be a mobile office;it can be used to entertain us...”可知手提电脑既可以用来作移动的办公室,也可以用来娱乐,故选D项。
41.The underlined word in the first paragraph means “________”.
A.becoming smaller B.becoming more important
C.becoming more popular D.becoming better
答案 A
解析 词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Now laptops are lighter,have smaller screen sizes,and perform better.”可知现在手提电脑更轻了,显示屏更小了,而性能也更好了,故可推知前文是指手提电脑的尺寸在变小。
42.We infer that graphic designers still use huge display screen laptops most probably because________.
A.huge display screen laptops are very cheap
B.small display screen laptops are not on sale yet
C.they can see their drawings more clearly
D.they also want to play computer games
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据graphic designers用电脑画图的工作性质可推断其用大的显示屏手提电脑是出于工作的需要,即为了能更清晰地看到他们所绘画的图。
43.What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.That laptops can only be used for one year.
B.That laptops are not as good as desktops.
C.That the prices for laptops are too high.
D.That laptops may have problems which cannot be fixed.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段的“or has some problems which cannot be fixed.”可知D项正确。
C
The organizers of the Beijing Olympics have predicted every aspect of the preparatory work and are making every effort to fulfill their task for 2007.
Competition schedule finalized
The competition schedule for the 28 sports and 302 events has been settled already.The detailed daily schedule will be made in the final three months before the Olympics,due to the arrangements to be made for TV broadcasters.
1,000 cultural events expected
Beijing is expected to hold as many as 1,000 Olympics related cultural activities,including high level exhibitions and art performances,presentations of foreign art troops,community cultural squares,and promotions by sponsors and co host cities.
30,000 journalists to cover the Olympics
More than 30,000 journalists are expected to come to Beijing during the Games.They pose a great challenge to the organizers in terms of how to meet their specific news coverage demands.
Two million visitors to test Beijing’s services
At least two million Chinese and half a million foreign tourists are expected to visit Beijing during the Olympics.Taking into account another 50,000 athletes and media,accommodation is a big challenge,too.122 Beijing based star class hotels were signed for the purpose in 2006.But how can they make 10,000 rooms available for domestic_visitors and 160,000—180,000 rooms for overseas visitors?The organizers are trying to find solutions to the problem in 2007.
Hot tickets,low prices
In previous Olympics,one third of the tickets were hot,another one third were break even and the remaining one third were unwillingly received.In contrast,most of the Beijing Olympic tickets have been hot,according to the ticketing program so far.The most expensive ticket for the opening ceremony stands only at 5,000 yuan—the lowest prices seen in recent editions of the Olympics.
44.This passage aims to tell the readers________.
A.the challenges the Beijing Olympics are facing
B.the preparatory work that the organizers are doing
C.the difficulties of organizing the Olympics
D.the information about the Beijing Olympics
答案 B
解析 主旨大意题。虽然各项工作难度很大,北京奥运会面临挑战(A项),组织工作有各种困难(C项),但这都是全文谈论的一个方面。从文中所给的黑体字标题看,全文所述都是奥运会的筹备工作。故选B项。
45.Which of the following may not be considered when making the daily schedule
A.The TV broadcasting.
B.The audience’s presentation.
C.The weather condition.
D.The athletes’ competing habits.
答案 D
解析 文中清楚地谈到了赛事的电视转播、向游人介绍北京人文历史等。虽然文中没有直接提到天气情况,但可以想像到在安排比赛日程、文化活动、记者采访和为游客服务等活动时,天气问题一定会考虑到。故只有D项所述(运动员的比赛习惯)没考虑到。
46.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A.The cultural activities will be held shortly after the Olympic Games.
B.Some foreign art communities will also give performances in Beijing.
C.The number of journalists coming to the Games will be largest.
D.Cultural activities won’t be held in co host cities.
答案 B
解析 北京的文化展示活动会贯穿奥运会全程,而不是will be held shortly after the Olympic Games,排除A;3万人的采访队伍,没有比较,不能断定是“最多的”,排除C项;在共同主办城市不举办文化活动的叙述也不符合事实,排除D项;文中谈到奥运会期间,一些外国艺术团体也可以来京演出,故选B项。
47.The underlined word “domestic visitors” (in Paragraph 5) refers to________.
A.visitors with important posts
B.visitors with special purposes
C.visitors from the host country
D.visitors from advanced countries
答案 C
解析 划线单词“domestic visitors”与下文的“oversea visitors”对应,故可译为“国内游客”,即“visitors from the host country”。D

so as to/in order to
so as to 意为“为了,目的是”,后接动词原形,在句中作目的状语,其否定形式为so as not to do sth.,可以转化成so that引导的目的状语从句。
in order to也可以作目的状语,但是so as to和so that引导的目的状语不可置于句首,且so that 目的状语从句的谓语动词常含有can,could,may,might等词。
