Unit 2　Working the land Ⅰ.语法单句填空 ‎1．Some necessary equipment as well as food and clothes ________(be) sent to the disasterhit area since the floods occurred.‎ 答案：has benn　考查主谓一致。主语是some necessary equipment，equipment为不可数名词，所以谓语动词用单数形式。时间状语为since＋过去时，所以用完成时。‎ ‎2．To be mentally healthy, you need to build________ good relationship with each other.‎ 答案：up　考查动词短语。句意：为了精神健康，你们相互之间需要建立良好的关系。build up“建立；树立”，符合语境。‎ ‎3．It is sleeping late in the morning that leads to ________ (be) late for work.‎ 答案：being　该句为强调句型，强调的是句子主语“sleeping late in the morning”。lead to“导致”to是介词，符合语境。‎ ‎4．My mother doesn't want to find a job and would rather ________(stay) at home and be a housewife.‎ 答案：stay　考查would rather的用法。句意：我妈妈不想找工作，她宁愿待在家里做一名家庭主妇。would rather后加动词时应用动词原形。‎ ‎5．Thanks ________ the teacher's help, he has made great progress in English study.‎ 答案：to　句意：多亏了老师的帮助，他的英语学习取得了很大进步。thanks to为介词短语，意为“多亏了；由于；因为”。‎ ‎6．—What has made him upset recently?‎ ‎—________(leave) alone to face the troublesome case.‎ 答案：Being left　考查动词ing形式作主语。句意：——是什么让他最近这么焦虑？——独自被留下来面对问题事件。答语是只保留了主语的省略句，且he与leave之间是被动关系，所以用动名词的被动式。‎ ‎7．This is a ________(confuse) problem, which can be seen from her ________(confuse) look.‎ 答案：confusing; confused　考查confuse的用法。句意：从她那困惑的表情上可以看出这是一个令人困惑的问题。confused“困惑的；迷惑不解的”；confusing“使人困惑的；令人迷惑的”。‎ ‎8．They are working hard to keep sorghum and peanut ________ from being destroyed by pests and chemicals.‎ 答案：free　句意：他们正在努力工作保护高梁和花生免遭害虫和化学物质的破坏。keep...free from...“使……免遭……侵害”。‎ ‎9．—Since you didn't agree with him, why didn't you raise objections at the meeting?‎ ‎—Well, now I regret not ________ (do) that.‎ 答案：doing　考查regret的用法。句意：——既然你不同意他的话，为什么不在会议上提出反对呢？——噢，现在我后悔没那样做了。regret not doing“后悔没有做……”。‎ ‎10．She is always working hard as she is never ________(satisfy) with what she's got.‎ 答案：satisfied　句意：她一直在努力工作，因为她从不满足于她所得到的。be satisfied with“对……感到满意”，符合句意。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 ‎(2012·济南模拟)‎ An average 30yearold person who has eaten three meals a day since birth has eaten more than 30,000 meals to date. Even if you've only eaten half that much you have to admit this: you've let some of that breakfast, lunch or dinner go to waste. And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted or lost. That's about 1.3 billion tons, according to a new report by the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization.‎ That's the weight of more than 8.6 million fullgrown blue whales, the largest creatures on earth. That's the weight of more than 2.3 million Airbus A380s, the largest planes in existence. That's as if each person in China, the world's most populous country with more than 1.3 billion people, had one ton mass of food they could just throw into the dustbin. It's almost unfathomable,_isn't it?‎ Setting aside that big number, we find the people with the most money are the ones who waste the most. Per capita (人均), European and North American countries waste between 95 and 115 kilograms of food. SubSaharan African, South Asian and Southeast Asian countries waste much, much less—between 6 and 11 kilograms per person.‎ Here's another statistic: all the food that the world's richest countries waste is about equal to all the food that subSaharan Africa produces. The numbers: 222 million tons and 230 million tons, respectively (分别地). Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent. And these numbers come as we've just been reporting about rising food prices around the world in the past week.‎ And my own personal tip: if I eat at a restaurant and can't finish it all, I ask for a doggie bag. I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was paid. There's no reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.‎ 文章大意：这是一篇说明文。根据联合国粮农组织的一份报告，目前全球生产出来的30%的食物在消费过程中被浪费。‎ ‎1．According to the U. N. Food and Agriculture Organization, how much food do people produce each year in the world?‎ A．About 3.3 billion tons.　　 B．About 3.9 billion tons.‎ C．About 4.3 billion tons. D．About 5.6 billion tons.‎ 答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段最后两句话可知，每年全球生产的所有食物中，30%被浪费或丢失，约有13亿吨，由此可以计算出每年的食物产量为13亿吨÷30%≈43亿吨。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “unfathomable” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Possible to imagine. B．Impossible to change.‎ C．Impossible to understand. D．Possible to understand.‎ 答案：C　词义猜测题。根据第二段的叙述可知：每年浪费的食物的重量超过了860万头地球上最大的动物蓝鲸的重量，也超过了230万架世界上现有的最大的飞机A380空中客车的重量。这也好比在世界拥有超过13亿人的人口最多的中国，人均向垃圾桶里倾倒一吨的食物。由此可推知这种现象使人难以理解。unfathomable意为“难以理解的”。‎ ‎3．It can be learned that the food the rich waste can support ________.‎ A．half the people in ‎Europe B．most people of ‎America C．most people of ‎Asia D．most people of ‎Africa 答案：D　细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“Basically, the wasted food of the rich could feed much of the African continent”可推知，富有的国家浪费的食物可以养活非洲大陆大部分地区的人。‎ ‎4．The author gave his personal tip based on the fact that ______.‎ A．he was once very poor B．he was once a farmer C．he once worked in a restaurant D．the price of food is very high 答案：C　细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“I used to be a waiter years ago and will never forget the amounts of food I saw left on the table after the bill was piad.”可知，作者的建议是根据他曾是一个餐馆服务员的工作经历而给出的。‎ ‎5．What is the purpose of this article?‎ A．To show the author's opinion of food.‎ B．To let us live more wisely and not waste food.‎ C．To show the amount of wasted food a year.‎ D．To ask the richest countries to help African people.‎ 答案：B　写作目的题。根据第一段倒数第二句话“And it turns out we're all to blame for this shaming fact: 30% of all food produced in the world each year is wasted lost.”和最后一段最后两句话“There's reason to waste food. It's up to all of us to use our common sense to eat and shop just a bit more wisely.”可推知，文章的写作目的在于让人们不要浪费食物，更明智地生活。‎ Ⅲ.完形填空 ‎(2013·东城区第二次联考)‎ I became a gardener when I was twelve.
