Unit 4 Pygmalion
Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.The success of a government should be measured ________terms of the happiness of the people as well as the development of economy.
答案:in 考查短语意义。句意:一个政府的成功,既需要以人们的幸福也需要根据经济的发展来衡量。in terms of“依据;按照”,与句意相符。
2.In some languages,100 words make up half of all words ________(use) in daily conversations.
答案:used 本题考查非谓语动词。题意:在一些语言中,100个单词占据了日常对话中所使用的单词中的一半。words后用非谓语动词作定语,words与use之间是被动关系,故用过去分词作定语。
3.—I am working on ________ screen adaptation of my latest science fiction.
—You can dream of making ________ fortune out of it.
答案:a;a 考查冠词的用法。a screen adaptation“一部改编的荧屏作品”;make a fortune“发财;赚钱”。
4.________(drive) by a greater demand for green products, the food company has set higher standards to ensure the quality.
答案:Driven 考查非谓语动词。句意:绿色食品的巨大需求促使食品公司制订了更高的标准以保证质量。动词drive与其逻辑主语the food company之间为动宾关系,因此应该使用过去分词。
5.The bank is reported in the local newspaper to ________(rob) in broad daylight yesterday.
答案:have been robbed sb. reported to do sth.“据报道……”。由 yesterday可知应该用动词不定式的完成式;又因为rob与其逻辑主语the bank之间是动宾关系,故用其动词不定式的被动完成式。
6.Generally ________(speak), the living standard in our country has been greatly improved, but there are still some people leading a poor life.
答案:speaking 考查短语意义。句意:总的说来,我们国家人们的生活水平有了很大的改善,但是仍有人生活贫困。generally speaking“总体上来看”,符合句意。
7.People ________(mistake) about him, which made him so upset.
答案:were mistaken 考查形容词词义。句意:人们误解了他,这让他很不安。be mistaken about“误解”。
8.—He is always picking up very heavy things just to show ________ his strength.
—What a man!
答案:off 考查短语意义。show off“炫耀,展示”,符合题意。
9.He never hesitated________ (help) those in trouble because he was a kindhearted man.
答案:to help 句意:帮助那些有困难的人他从来都不犹豫,因为他是一个善良的人。否定词+hesitate to do sth.意为“毫不迟疑地做某事”。
10.________(free) from endless homework on weekends, the students now find their own activities, such as taking a ride together to watch the sunrise.
答案:Freed 考查非谓语动词。由于free和其逻辑主语the
students之间是动宾关系,所以用过去分词形式作状语。free在本句中的意思是“解除(负担、义务或限制)”。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2013·临沂沂水中学模拟)
Steven Spielberg was not a scholar, and his classmates teased him. Rather than read, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies, which he showed to friends for a small fee.
In his first year of high school, he dropped out. But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learningdisabled class, which lasted one month. Only when the family moved to another town did he land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually graduated.
After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965, he recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.
He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in.
“For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers, “I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office that wasn't being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room 23C.”
It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28yearold Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the biggest grossing movie of all time. Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn't—talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.
