1UnitUnit 4 4 MakingMaking thethe newsnews李仕才 一、阅读理解。Recently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer “psychological first aid” and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激)from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadnt really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude (打扰)on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, “Just go. Just be there.” I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It not only is something we give to others but also changes me for the better.【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了“我”通过一些活动意识到“到场”的意义的故事。1Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?AHe built shelters for them.BHe gave immediate first aid to them.CHe came to stay with them.DHe brought mental health professionals.C 解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段的第二句可知,因为“我”在他们受灾时和他们在一起,所以他们感激“我” ,故 C 项正确。2What did the author do when his friends mother passed away? AHe hesitated over whether to go.2BHe went to his friends at once.CHe knew what to do instantly.DHe decided not to disturb his friend.A 解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude (打扰)on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do.”可知, “我”想要立即去朋友那里,但又不愿意去打扰朋友,据此可知,当朋友的母亲去世时, “我”犹豫是否要去朋友那里。3What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?AHeavy but warm.BA little sad but cosy.CRelaxing and delightful.DVery serious and unhappy.D 解析: 词义猜测题。根据第三段最后一句中的“His family, playing guitars and singing”可知,男青年的家人在弹奏吉他并唱歌;结合画线词所在句中的“However.no means”和第三段第二句中的“a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDSrelated dying”可以判断,在家人的陪伴下,气氛并不悲伤和严肃,据此可以判断,画线词意为“严肃的” ,故 D 项正确。4What has the author learned from his experience?AA friend in need is a friend indeed.BBeing present can make a big difference.CThe family harmony is the happiest thing in life.DBeing a volunteer can make ones life more significant.B 解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段的前两句并结合第二段的第一句可知,从自己的经 历中“我”意识到了“到场”的重要意义,故 B 项正确。 二、单句语法填空1We must concentrate our effort on _ (find) ways to reduce costs.答案:finding concentrate one's effort on . “集中精力” ,on 为介词,故填动名词 finding。2They study hard _ (acquire) a good knowledge of English.答案:to acquire 此处不定式在句中作目的状语。3I'll keep you _ (inform) of the progress made at any time.答案:informed keep sb. informed of sth. “通知某人某事/使某人了解某事” 。4It is difficult _ (assess) the effects of these changes.答案:to assess It isadj.to do sth. “做某事是的” 。35You can never depend on it _ he can arrive on time.答案:that depend on it that “指望/相信” 。6Are you _ (accuse) me of lying to the headmaster?I'm sure you

“为了做” ,gifts 与 receive 之间为被动关系,故应填 be received。8There are cases _ this rule does not work.答案:where 若定语从句的先行词为抽象地点名词 case, stage, point, position, condition 等时,且定语从句中缺少地点状语,应用 where 引导定语从句。9He left the classroom without the _ (approve) of the teacher.答案:approval 由空前的“the”和空后的“of”可知,设空处应填名词形式,即approval。10People demanded that the injured _ (take) to hospital at once.答案:(should) be taken demand 意为“要求” ,后跟宾语从句时,从句应用虚拟语气,谓语动词用“should动词原形” ,should 可以省略。主语 the injured 与动词 take之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。三、完形填空。 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中,选出可能填入空白处的最佳选项。Every morning,on my way to work,I see homeless people

all”可知,这些无家可归的人需要帮助。assistance 意为“帮助” 。故选 D。2B 根据下文作者帮助无家可归的人可推知,作者同情这些无家可归的人,看到他们睡在大街上感到很是遗憾。故选 B。3C 根据“and don't offer any help at all”并结合上文的“I feel it a(n) _2_ to see

承接上文的“Usually I arrive at work around 8 am,when the homeless 6are still asleep”可推知,无家可归的人在作者早上开始上班时还都在睡觉,是不会觉察到的(unaware)。8B 根据“even”的提示并结合上文作者的犹豫可推知,作者不确定自己对他们的帮助是否正是无家可归的人所需要的。9A 根据语境可推知,作者在人行道上发现了一个醒着的无家可归的人。spot 表示“发现” ,符合语境。10C 根据语境可知,作者离上班还有些时间,所以选 C。11D 根据语境以及下文的“I gave him the drink and banana”可推知,作者顺便还给这个人带了香蕉。along with 表示“除以外(还)” 。12B 根据空后的“with everyday

句中已有谓语动词 be faced with 且无连词,故 depend应用非谓语动词形式。depending on . 现在分词短语在句中作状语。2We had a thoroughly cleaning of our house at the weekend._答案:thoroughlythorough 此处需用形容词 thorough 来修饰动名词 cleaning,故改为 thorough。73It is demanded that a doctor must be sent for._答案:mustshould 或去掉 must demand 后跟宾语从句、主语从句、表语从句或同位语从句时,从句应用虚拟语气,其谓语动词应用“should动词原形” ,should 可以省略。4They are all eager to the chance to be the

placeplaceshave better understanding of the English society,culture and history.aWhat's more,I was enough to meet my pen friend Tom there.I stayed luckilyluckyat his home.And I'll never forget the days 或 whenthat/whichwe spent together.When I left England,he offered me a whentodictionary a gift.It's of great help for me to learn English.I will make foras8full use of and learn English .themitgoodwellI hope Tom will come to China when it's for him!convenienceconvenient第一处:考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“last week”可知,此处叙述的是过去的事情,应用一般过去时。故将 take 改为 took。第二处:考查名词的复数。place of interest 意为“名胜古迹” ,其中 place 是可数名词,前面有 several 修饰,应用其复数形式。故将 place 改为 places。第三处:考查冠词。have a better understanding of.为固定结构,意为“对有更好的了解” 。故在 better 之前加 a。第四处:考查形容词。luckily 是副词,意为“幸运地” ,用来修饰动词或者形容词。此处应用形容词作表语。故将 luckily 改为 lucky。第五处:考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,从句“we spent together”中缺少宾语,补充完整是:we spent the days together。when 引导定语从句时作时间状语。因此应用关系代词引导该定语从句,在从句中作宾语,故可将 when 改为 that/which;当关系代词在定语从句中作宾语时,可以省略,故也可去掉 when。第六处:考查介词。动词 offer 是及物动词,可直接接宾语。offer sb.sth.意为“给某人提供某物” ,不需要加介词。故去掉 to。第七处:考查介词。介词 for 通常后接对象,意为“为,给,对而言” ;as 作介词时,意为“作为,以身份” 。此处指他给了“我”一本字典作为礼物。故将for 改为 as。第八处:考查人称代词。根据语境可知,此处应用 it 指代上文中提到的 a dictionary,表示单数概念。故将 them 改为 it。第九处:考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词 learn,表示学好英语。故将 good 改为well。第十处:考查形容词。此处应用形容词作表语。it's convenient for sb.为固定句型,意为“对某人来说很方便” 。故将 convenience 改为 convenient。
