Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors 李仕才 一、阅读理解。‎ Each time I see a balloon,my mind flies back to a memory when I was a six-year-old girl.It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died.I asked my mum if my dad had gone to heaven.“Yes,honey.Of course,”she said.“Can we write him a letter?”I asked.‎ ‎    She paused,the longest pause of my short life,and answered,“Yes.”My heart jumped.“Can the mailman go there?”I asked.‎ ‎    “No,but I have an idea.”Mum drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon.I asked her what it was for.“Just wait,honey.You’ll see.”Mum told me to write my letter.Eagerly,I got my favourite pen,and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink.I wrote about my day,what I learned at school,what Mum was doing,and even about what happened in a story I had read.For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive.I gave the letter to Mum.She read it over,and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string.We went outside and she gave me the balloon.It was still raining.“Okay,on the count of three,let it go.One,two,three.”The balloon,carrying my letter,darted upwards against the rain.We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.Later I realized,like the balloon,that Dad had never let his sickness get him down.He was strong.No matter what he suffered,he’d persevere,dart up,and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body.He rose into sky and became something beautiful.I watched until the balloon disappeared into the grey and white and I prayed that his strength was passed on.I prayed to be a balloon.‎ ‎1.When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father,her mother________.

Then I wouldn't have been feeling so worried now.‎ 答案：had looked　由语境和句子结构可判断if only后应用虚拟语气；由时间状语a few days ago 可知表示与过去事实相反，故应填had looked。look ahead “向前看；为将来打算”。‎ ‎7．This is a historic building ________(date) back to the 17th ‎ century.‎ 答案：dating　date back to＝date from表示“追溯到……”，无进行时，无被动语态，句中已有谓语动词is，且building和date back to存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故应填现在分词dating作后置定语。‎ ‎8．I am fed up ________this weather; it's time we had some ‎ sunshine.‎ 答案：with　be fed up with “受够了；厌烦……”。‎ ‎9．Sometimes we went ahead and did it, regardless ________the ‎ consequences.‎ 答案：of　regardless of “不管；不顾”。‎ ‎10．While working out the problem, you should pay more attention to the ________(accurate)．‎ 答案：accuracy　由空格前的冠词the可知，此处填名词形式。‎ 6‎ 三、完形填空。‎ When apologizing, chances are that you’ve uttered the phrase, “I never meant to hurt you.” 1. ‎ In a talk, Caroline Myss, a spiritual seeker and researcher, took on the topic of forgiveness and healing. She explained why “I never meant to hurt you” is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.‎ ‎“Picture that person coming up to you and saying, ‘I’m sorry I did this. 2. And can we just call it a day？’” Caroline says. As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解), that type of apology won’t sit well with the person on the receiving end. “That whole little thing—‘I never meant to hurt you’—is the thing you can’t forgive，” she says. “That sick feeling goes right to your soul.”‎ Instead, Caroline says it’s important to approach the conversation differently. Ultimately, it’s about offering more than an apology. 3. ‎ ‎“Let’s redo the scene，” Caroline says.“The person comes up to you and says, ‘I need to tell you something. 4. It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn’t listen. And I now know that my actions redirected the course of your life. This is not an apology. I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you. 5. ’ ”Even saying those words on stages makes Caroline visibly emotional, and she points out that this is how deeply within the soul apologies are supposed to resonate. And that’s what heals.‎ A．Here is my apology.‎ B．But it doesn’t matter to you.‎ C．I’m asking now for your forgiveness.‎ D．I consciously knew what I was doing.‎ E．But you know I never meant to hurt you.‎ F．It’s about sharing a soultosoul confession.‎ G．However, it’s not a suitable way to apologize.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文援引了Caroline Myss的话向读者阐明了用“我从没想过要伤害你”来道歉是不够的。‎ 6‎ ‎1．G　解析：根据下文的内容尤其是“She explained why ‘I never meant to hurt you’ is never a sufficient apology, no matter who it comes from.”可知，此处讲的应是用“我从没想过要伤害你”这句话来道歉的不足，故G项“但是，这并不是一种合适的道歉的方法”符合语境。‎ ‎2．E　解析：根据本段内容可知，此处是Caroline Myss让大家想象一下有人用“我从没想过要伤害你”来向你道歉时的情景，故E项符合题意。‎ ‎3．F　解析：根据上文的“it’s about offering more than an apology”以及下文的“This is not an apology. I am confessing(忏悔) my soul to you.”可知F项与之相呼应，表示道歉应该是心灵对心灵的忏悔。下文中的“within the soul”亦是提示。故选F。‎ ‎4．D　解析：根据空后的“It was guilt. I heard my conscience tell me not to do this but I didn’t listen.”可知，此处讲的应该是当时所做的错事方面的内容，故D项符合语境。‎ ‎5．C　解析：根据上文中的“As tempting as it can be to move on and bury the hatchet(和解)．..”可知，向别人道歉的目的是获得别人的谅解，故C项符合语境。‎ 四、单句改错。‎ ‎1．Assumed that the weather is favorable, farmers will have a good harvest.‎ ‎_________________________________________________‎ 答案：Assumed→Assuming　Assuming that ... “假定/假 设……”，常位于句首作状语。‎ ‎2．He could have finished it on schedule, but anyhow he fell behind.‎ ‎__________________________________________________‎ 答案：anyhow→somehow　somehow “不知怎么地；以某种方式”。anyhow＝anyway “尽管如此”。‎ ‎3．I'm very sorry to interrupt with you, but I have something important to tell you.‎ ‎_________________________________________________‎ 答案：去掉with　interrupt为及物动词，interrupt sb./sth. “打断某人/某事”。‎ ‎4．We had been waiting for you for an hour; we don't want to wait any longer.‎ ‎__________________________________________________‎ 6‎ 答案：had→have　由语境可知，“等待”这个动作应是持续到现在，故应用现在完成进行时。‎ ‎5．Which is mentioned above, they have succeeded in solving many problems with the new theory.‎ ‎___________________________________________________‎ 答案：Which→As　该句中从句为as引导的非限制性定语从句。which引导的非限制性定语从句不能置于句首。As is mentioned above “正如上面所提到的那样”。‎ 五、短文改错。‎ It is clear shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students surveying have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight too.And a larger percentage lacks sleep.52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students won’t obey our parents or teachers.Personally ，I think we student should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body，one can’t achieve anything.However，too much attention has been paid only on studies.As a result, I suggest we are given less homework or more time for out－of－classroom activities. Only in this way can we live a happy and healthy life.‎ 答案：‎ It is shown that many middle school students have physical and mental problems.68% of the students have studying anxiety as well as poor eyesight .And a larger percentage sleep.52% are short of physical exercise.42% of the students won’t obey parents or teachers.Personally, I think we should balance our physical exercise and studies.Without sound body，one can’t achieve anything.However，too much attention has been paid only studies.As a result, I suggest we given less homework more time for out－of－classroom activities.
