Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors
Ⅰ.语法单句填空
1.________(regard) of what they say about me, I'm going to continue my work.
答案:Regardless 考查介词短语。句意:不顾他们对我的指指点点,我将继续我的工作。regardless of“不顾;不管”,与句意相符。
2.—What's your feeling now?
—I am terribly sorry. If only I ________(come) here yesterday!
答案:had come 考查if only的用法。if only“要是……就好了”;由时间状语yesterday来看,这是对过去所发生事情的虚拟,所以用过去完成时。
3.The escaped prisoner got ________ (arrest) immediately he turned up at the railway station and was sent to prison again.
答案:arrested “get+过去分词”构成被动语态。句意:逃犯一出现在火车站就被逮捕,并再度被送进监狱。
4.A project ________ great significance is to be discussed, which will help to improve the local people's living conditions.
答案:of be of great significance“有重大意义;非常重要”。
5.—Was the driving pleasant when you went to Mexico last summer?
—No, it ________ (rain) for four days when we arrived, so the roads were very muddy.
答案:had been raining 考查时态。答句句意:在我们到达之前下了四天的雨,道路异常泥泞。表示在过去某一动作之前一直在进行,并有可能继续下去的动作,用过去完成进行时。
6.________ (assume) that we can't get the necessary equipment, we will have to give up the experiment.
答案:Assuming 句意:假如我们得不到必要的设备,我们将不得不放弃这个实验。assuming表示“假定;设想”,引导条件状语从句,相当于if。具有相同用法的词还有supposing,regarding,given等。
7.Every day a number of tourists take pictures in front of the tower, which dates ________ as early as 800 years ago.
答案:from 句意:每天都有许多游客在这座可追溯到800年前的塔前拍照。短语date back to相当于date from,意为“追溯到;始于”。两者通常与过去的时间状语连用,但多用于一般现在时。
8.After many years' hard work, she now is pleased ________ playing almost all kinds of music.
答案:at 句意:许多年的辛勤努力之后,她现在几乎能熟练地表演各种音乐。
9.The headmaster hurried to the concert hall only ________ (find) the speaker ________(go).
答案:to find;gone 考查非谓语动词。句意:校长匆忙赶往音乐厅,结果却发现主持人已经走了。第一空only后接不定式表示出乎意料的结果,意为“结果却……”;第二空可以用gone。
10.—Where is Mother?
—She is in the kitchen. She ________(do) the housework all morning.
答案:has been doing 考查动词时态。句意表示母亲一上午都在做家务,现在仍在厨房做,故应用现在完成进行时表示从过去至今一直在持续的动作。

Archaeology, like many academic words, comes from Greek and means, more or less, “the study of old things”. So, it is really a part of the study of history. However, most historians use paper evidence, such as letters, paintings and photographs, but archaeologists learn from the objects left behind by the humans of long ago. Normally, these are the hard materials that don't break down or disappear very quickly—things like human bones and objects made from stone and metal.
It is very unusual to find anything more than the hard evidence of history—normally, the bacteria in the air eat away at soft materials, like bodies, clothes and things made of wood. Occasionally, things are different.
In 1984, two men made an amazing discovery while working in a bog called Lindow Moss, in the north of England. A bog is a very wet area of earth, with a lot of plants growing in it. It can be like a very big and very thick vegetable soup—walk in the wrong place and you can sink and disappear forever. The men were working when one of them saw something sticking out—a human foot! Naturally, the men called the police, who then found the rest of the body. Was it a case of murder? Possibly—but it was a death nearly two thousand years old. The two men had found a body from the time of the Roman invasion of Britain. Despite being so old, this body had skin, muscles, hair and internal organs—the scientists who examined him were able to look inside the man's stomach and find the food that he had eaten for his last meal!
Why was this man so well preserved? It was because he was in a very watery environment, safe from the bacteria that need oxygen to live. Also, the water in the bog was very acidic. The acid preserved the man's skin in the way that animal skin is preserved for leather coats and shoes.
How did he die? Understandably, archaeologists and other scientists wanted to know more about the person that they called “Lindow Man”. His hands and fingernails suggested that he hadn't done heavy manual work in his life—he could have been a rich man. They found that he hadn't died by accident. The archaeologists believe that he was sacrificed to three different gods.
文章大意:本文是一篇关于考古发现的记叙文,文中简要介绍了“Lindow Man”被发现并研究的过程。
1.The underlined word “these” in the first paragraph refers to ________.

It is universally accepted that filial piety is an important virtue in China.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
It is universally accepted that filial piety is an important virtue in China. It means respecting and caring for parents and the elderly.
Take my parents for example. After my grandma died last year, my parents spent much time chatting with my grandpa, accompanying him on walks and cooking him delicious food. At first, my grandpa seemed to be happy about it, but as time went by, he became uneasy, because he was not used to leading so comfortable a life. Therefore, my parents encouraged him to attend some activities in our community. They also encouraged him to go to a drawing class in a school for the old, which gave my grandpa a great sense of achievement. He became happy again.
My parents set a good example to me. In my opinion, the real filial piety is giving the old what they really need.
