Unit 2 Poems
李仕才
一、阅读理解。
The Amazon basin region is home to about 2.5 million insect species,tens of thousands of plants,and some 2,000 birds and mammals.To date,at least 40,000 plant species,3,000 fish,1,294 birds,427 mammals,428 amphibians,and 378 reptiles have been scientifically classified in the region.One in five of all the birds in the world live in the Amazon rainforest.
The warm and wet forest has been in existence for at least 55 million years,and thrived even during glacial periods,allowing for the evolution of an unbelievable diversity of species.Radiocarbon dating(放射性碳定年法) has revealed trees of 10 centimeter in diameter to be more than 300 years old,and some trees over 1,000 years old,indicating that untouched forests can experience unbelievable longevity.
The first human inhabitants are thought to have settled in the Amazon region about 11,200 years ago.European explorers arrived in the 16th century,bringing diseases which traveled faster than the explorers themselves,killing perhaps as many as 90% of the indigenous inhabitants(土著居民).By the late 17th century the Amazon basin was controlled by Portuguese and Spanish explorers.
The Amazon rainforests has been described as the lungs of our planet because of its important role in recycling carbon dioxide into oxygen.But due to deforestation(滥伐森林),rainforests now cover less than 5% of the Earth’s land surface,and experts believe that this is a big contributor to global climate change.Severe deforestation began in the 20th century,with 587,000 square kilometers lost up to the year 2000.Most deforested land is used for grassland to raise farm animals and agriculture.The addition of transport routes has led to increased settlement and deforestation,and at the present rate,scientists estimate that the Amazon rainforest will be reduced by 40% in two decades.
【解题导语】 本文主要讲述了亚马逊热带雨林的历史、丰富的物种以及现在所面临的危险。

二、单句语法填空

2.If we ________ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.

performance of daily life.

答案:conveys 由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。定语从句的先行词为a poem,为单数形式,故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys,该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。
5.She always exchanges words ________ her neighbours.
答案:with exchange ... with ... “和……交换……”。
6.Since then it ________ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.

答案:to talk 该句为“with+宾语+to do”复合结构,to do表示将来的动作。
9.He just took ________ for granted that he would pass the exam.
答案:it take it for granted that ... 为常用句式,意为“认为……是理所当然的”。
10.I think her ________ (translate) of the article is much better.
答案:translation 由her可知,应填所给词的名词形式translation,意为“翻译;译文”。

译文:当每一个孩子拜访他们的祖父母之后要离开的时候,他们都会在房子里藏一张充满爱的纸条让祖父母在他们走后寻找。
四、单句改错
1.They ran out off money and had to abandon the project.
______________________________________________________
答案:off→of run out of “用完……”,相当于use up。
2.Food supplies in the floodstricken area are run out. We must cut immediately before there's none left.
______________________________________________________
答案:run→running 当主语是物时,run out是不及物动词,表示“耗尽”,没有被动语态,应改为进行时,表示即将耗尽。
3.With more and more trees cutting down, some animals are facing the danger of dying out.
______________________________________________________
9
答案:cutting→cut cut down和trees之间构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故应用过去分词作with复合结构中的宾语补足语。
4.The baby can't even sit up yet, let out walk!
______________________________________________________
答案:out→alone let out通常意为“发出(大的声音)”;let alone常用在否定句中,意为“更不用说”,根据语境,应改out为alone。
5.I try to make what I want to say easy accepted by children.
______________________________________________________
答案:easy→easily 修饰动词accept应用副词形式,故将easy改为easily。

9
第一处:heating改为heated。考查形容词。那引起了一场激烈的讨论。故heated “激烈的”符合语境。
第二处:in改为at。考查介词。at a very early age“在很小的年纪”为固定搭配。
第三处:her改为his。考查代词。根据上文可知Wei Xiang是男性,故此处应用his。
第四处:删除of。考查介词。尽管得了严重的疾病,despite“尽管”后跟宾语时不需带of。
第五处:admit改为admitted。考查固定搭配。be admitted to“被接收(入学)”为固定搭配。
第六处:year改为years。考查名词复数。未来四年母亲能够在那儿照顾他,four后跟复数名词,故此处为years。
第七处:promise改为promised。考查时态。本文叙述的是过去的事情,且全文使用的均为一般过去时,故此处用promised。
第八处:have后加a。考查冠词。鼓励他对人生充满信心,have a strong belief in...“坚信……;对……怀有坚定信念”。
第九处:which改为that。考查特殊句型。正是他鼓舞人心的经历和来自清华大学的温暖吸引了公众的注意。本句为强调句型it be+被强调部分+that/who...,故改为that。
第十处:final改为finally。考查副词。此处表示“努力最终会得到回报”。修饰动词用副词,因此改为finally。
