Unit 4 Making the news 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 hadn’t really done anything yet.‎ I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friend’s mother passed away unexpectedly. I received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didn’t 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。‎ ‎1．Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?‎ A．He built shelters for them.‎ B．He gave immediate first aid to them.‎ C．He came to stay with them.‎ D．He 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。‎ ‎2．What did the author do when his friend’s mother passed away？　‎ A．He hesitated over whether to go.‎ B．He went to his friend’s at once.‎ C．He knew what to do instantly.‎ 8‎ D．He 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 didn’t 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。‎ ‎3．What does the underlined word “solemn” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ A．Heavy but warm.‎ B．A little sad but cosy.‎ C．Relaxing and delightful.‎ D．Very 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。‎ ‎4．What has the author learned from his experience?‎ A．A friend in need is a friend indeed.‎ B．Being present can make a big difference.‎ C．The family harmony is the happiest thing in life.‎ D．Being a volunteer can make one’s 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 ‎1．We 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。‎ ‎2．They 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。‎ ‎3．I'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”。‎ ‎4．It is difficult ________ (assess) the effects of these changes.‎ 答案：to assess　It is＋adj.＋to do sth. “做某事是……的”。‎ ‎5．You can never depend on it ________ he can arrive on time.‎ 答案：that　depend on it that “指望/相信……”。‎ 8‎ ‎6．—Are you ________ (accuse) me of lying to the headmaster?‎ ‎—I'm sure you did.‎ 答案：accusing　accuse sb. of (doing) sth. “指责/控告某人(做)某事”。本句是一般疑问句，谓语动词用了现在进行时。‎ ‎7．All these gifts must be mailed immediately so as to ________ (receive) in time for Christmas.‎ 答案：be received　so as to do ... “为了做……”，gifts与receive之间为被动关系，故应填be received。‎ ‎8．There 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。‎ ‎9．He 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。‎ ‎10．People 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 sleeping on sidewalks.Clearly，they're in need of __1__.I feel it a(n) __2__ to see this，and most people walk by, __3__ the homeless don't exist，and don't offer any

at all”可知，这些无家可归的人需要帮助。assistance意为“帮助”。故选D。‎ ‎2．B　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。‎ ‎3．C　根据“and don't offer any help at all”并结合上文的“I feel it a(n) __2__ to see this”可推知，大部分的路人对无家可归的人漠不关心，视而不见，即假装(pretending)没看到。‎ ‎4．A　根据“even”可推知，大部分人不仅不提供帮助，甚至连一句问候都没有。‎ ‎5．D　根据空前的“it's been extremely cold”并结合语境可推知，天气特别寒冷，无家可归的人的日子更加艰难(tough)。‎ ‎6．A　结合语境可知，作者不确定自己的那种做法是否是好主意(idea)。‎ ‎7．C　承接上文的“Usually I arrive at work around 8 am，when the homeless are 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)。‎ 8‎ ‎8．B　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。‎ ‎9．A　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。‎ ‎10．C　根据语境可知，作者离上班还有些时间，所以选C。‎ ‎11．D　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)”。‎ ‎12．B　根据空后的“with everyday items”可知，作者包里装着每天的必需品。pack with sth.表示“装着某物”。‎ ‎13．C　根据语境可知，作者认为这是一个极好的帮助无家可归的人的机会。‎ ‎14．A　根据语境可推知，把自己的东西馈赠给他人，别人是感恩的(grateful)。‎ ‎15．D　根据语境可知，前后句表示逻辑上的转折关系，故选D。‎ ‎16．B　根据语境可推知，那些无家可归的人只是由于某种原因一时穷困潦倒而已，down on one's luck表示“穷困潦倒”。‎ ‎17．C　根据语境可知，如果我们愿意帮助他们，世界会变得更美好。reach out to sb.表示“愿意为某人提供帮助”。‎ ‎18．A　根据语境可知，帮助他人的确会让我们的世界变得更美好。truly“的确，真实地”；properly“恰当地”；deliberately“故意地”；approximately“大约”。‎ ‎19．B　Phil Collins的歌提醒我们要感恩。remind sb.to do sth.意为“提醒某人做某事”符合语境。‎ ‎20．D　根据语境可推知，人们不要忘记那些不幸的人。‎ 四、单句改错 ‎1．You'll be faced with two choices—whether to be fired or not, depend on your performance in the work.‎ ‎______________________________________________________‎ 答案：depend→depending　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。‎ ‎2．We had a thoroughly cleaning of our house at the weekend.‎ ‎______________________________________________________‎ 答案：thoroughly→thorough　此处需用形容词thorough来修饰动名词cleaning，故改为thorough。‎ ‎3．It is demanded that a doctor must be sent for.‎ ‎______________________________________________________‎ 8‎ 答案：must→should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。‎ ‎4．They are all eager to the chance to be the top ones in the world competition as athletes.‎ ‎______________________________________________________‎ 答案：第一个to→for　be eager for sth. “渴望(得到)某物”。‎ ‎5．You'd better put on a thick sweater in case of it snows.‎ ‎______________________________________________________‎ 答案：去掉of　in case of sth. “如果；假使”；in case＋从句“万一/以防……；如果/假使……”。根据从句“it snows”可知应用in case，故去掉of。‎ 五、短文改错 Last week，I take part in the Cultural Exchange Week.I enjoyed myself in England.I visited the city museum and several place of interest，which made me have better understanding of the English society，culture and history.‎ What's more，I was luckily enough to meet my pen friend Tom there.I stayed at his home.And I'll never forget the days when we spent together.When I left England，he offered to me a dictionary for a gift.It's of great help for me to learn English.I will make full use of them and learn English good.‎ I hope Tom will come to China when it's convenience for him!‎ ‎【答案】‎ Last week，I part in the Cultural Exchange Week.I enjoyed myself in England.I visited the city museum and several of interest，which made me have better understanding of the English society，culture and history.‎ What's more，I was enough to meet my pen friend Tom there.I stayed at his home.And I'll never forget the days 或 ‎ ‎　 we spent together.When I left England，he offered me a dictionary a gift.It's of great help for me to learn English.I will make full use of and learn English .‎ I hope Tom will come to China when it's for him!‎ 8‎ 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。‎ 8‎
