Unit 2 Healthy eating
李仕才
***阅读理解。
Many a young person tells me that he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there's a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at a typewriter.“You've got to want to write,” I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poorpaying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer,I had no prospects at all:what I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and left like a genuine writer.
After a year or so,however,I still hadn't gotten a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who die wondering,what if? I would keep putting my dream to the test—even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure.This is the shadowland of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
1.The passage is meant to ________.
A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it's unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
2.“...people who die wondering,what if?”(Para.3) refers to “those ________”.
A.who think too much of the dark side of life
B.who regret giving up their career halfway
C.who think a lot without making a decision
D.who are full of imagination even upon death
3.The underlined word “shadowland” in the last sentence refers to “________”.
A.the wonderland one often dreams about
9
B.the bright future that one is looking forward to
C.the state of uncertainty before one's final goal is reached
D.a world that exists only in one's imagination

By his own talents and years of efforts, he __4__ (provide) his family with a good social position and a __5__(relative) rich life. Besides, he lives in harmony with

others and never quarrels with anyone, so people from all walks of life come to my house, from __6__I've gained lots of social experience. But at home he is a strict parent who is hard on me and has high __7__(expectation) of me. I can see that my idling time away __8__(hurt) him deeply, while if I have done something great and meaningful, such as __9__(write) a book, he will be more excited than me.

篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。没有人比“我”的父母,尤其是“我”的父亲,更爱“我”了。他会为“我”虚度光阴而伤心,也会为“我”做了有意义的事而高兴。为了他,“我”总是提醒自己不要半途而废。
1.with 考查介词。此处用“介词with+宾语(名语短语)+宾补(介词短语)”构成with的复合结构。
2.to approach 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用不定式和hard一起作宾语补足语。
3.talented 考查词性转换。修饰名词man应用talent的形容词形式talented,作定语。talented “有才能的,有才干的”。
4.has provided 考查动词的时态。分析语境可知,此处应用现在完成时表示父亲多年的努力和辛苦对现在产生的积极影响。
5.relatively 考查词性转换。修饰形容词rich应用副词。
6.whom 考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。先行词是people,指人,关系词在介词后面,作宾语,故填whom。此处表示“我”从来自各行各业的人那里获得丰富的社会经验。
7.expectations 考查名词的数。expectation作“期望”讲时,通常用复数形式;have high expectations of sb.“对某人寄予厚望”。
8.hurts 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处表示“我”虚度光阴深深地伤害了他。结合上下文时态判断,此处应用一般现在时,动名词的复合结构“my idling time away”作主语,谓语动词用单数,故此空应填hurts。
9.writing 考查非谓语动词。此处在“such as”后面作宾语,故应用动名词。
10.will 考查助动词。此句是否定副词never位于句首的倒装句,故此空应填入助动词或情态动词,结合语境可知,此处表示“我”的决心和承诺,故用助动词will。
***完形填空。
阅读下列短文,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。

I am writing to ask about if you are able to do me a favor. I want to have a pen friend, who'd better being a girl in her early twenty, and with interests similar to mine. In my mind, she is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it would be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping that at home for some time. With such a pen pal, I hope I can share her my experiences in traveling, taking care of pets, or whatever we have in the common. I believe I would improve my English by doing so and learning more about her country. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours,

Dear Li Ming,

难项分析:
第一处:去掉about或if→whether 考查宾语从句的连接词。由介词about可知,应用whether引导宾语从句,介词后的宾语从句一般不用if引导。也可删去about,由if引导该宾语从句。
第五处:Beside→Besides 考查副词。besides在此处的意思是“此外”,beside是介词,意为“在……旁边”,根据语境可知,应把Beside改为Besides。
9
第十处:learning→learn 考查情态动词的用法。此处的动词和前面的improve并列,位于情态动词后,共同作宾语从句的谓语,故把learning改为learn。
