Unit 4 Earthquakes 李仕才 ‎***阅读理解 ‎“Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women.At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return.‎ Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield，Virginia.It was the largest crowd ever for the area's popular clothingswapping group.‎ Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really good women's designer and I will totally wear this to work.So I love that，and I love that I can equip myself for work，have a good time in doing it，and not totally bankrupt(使破产)myself.”‎ Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away.“Because it helps to keep the Earth green.There's no point in my opinion in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what are already here.Give them a new home—let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love.”‎ Kim Pratt organized the clothes swap event in Springfield.She also organized a moneyraising activity for the high school's debate team.It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes.Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.‎ ‎“I started doing this four years ago, and we've been doing it for four years，getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”‎ She used the social media website meetup.com to help publicize the events.The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300.Ms.Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules.But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.‎ ‎“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover(徘徊)over the new people coming in with their clothing.As they put it out，some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a freeforall.We try to avoid that as much as possible.”‎ ‎1．Women can ________ at a clothes swap.‎ A．exchange unwanted clothing for something different 8‎ B．buy whatever clothing they like C．have a social gathering and make friends D．make some money by giving away unwanted clothing ‎2．We can learn from what Daphne Steinberg said that ________.‎ A．she had been to a clothes swap for the first time B．she experienced the largest clothes swap ever in the area C．she got some clothes she likes at the clothes swap D．she saved much more money than she had expected ‎3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?‎ A．What Kim Pratt did with the unswapped clothing.‎ B．How Kim Pratt started the clothes swap event.‎ C．What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.‎ D．How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.‎ ‎4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that ________.‎ A．clothes swaps are often out of control in the end B．inappropriate behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled C．clothes swapping is becoming increasingly popular with American women D．more clothes swap events need to be organized ‎【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了在Springfield的一所高中举办的“交换衣服”活动，详细介绍了活动组织人Kim Pratt组织该活动的初衷、意义和存在的问题等。‎ ‎【难句分析】“Clothes Swapping” is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women.‎ 分析：该句为主从复合句。which has become increasingly popular among American women为which引导的定语从句，修饰先行词an activity。‎ 译文：“交换衣服”是一项越来越受美国女士欢迎的活动。‎ ‎1．A　考查细节理解。根据第一段第二句“At a clothes swap event the women can give away unwanted clothing and get something different in return”可知，在“交换衣服”活动中，女士可以给出自己不想要的衣服，得到一些不同的衣服，故A项正确。‎ ‎2．C　考查细节理解。根据第三段中Daphne Steinberg所说的话“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really good women's designer and I will totally wear this to work”可知，Daphne Steinberg在这次“交换衣服”活动中得到了她喜欢的Ann Taylor设计的衣服，并会穿着它去上班，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．C　考查段落大意。通读第五段可知，该段主要介绍了Kim 8‎ ‎ Pratt为帮助需要帮助的人组织的多个活动，包括“交换衣服”活动、为Springfield的一所高中的辩论队组织的筹款活动、捐赠衣服给家庭暴力受害者庇护所的活动，故C项正确。‎ ‎4．B　考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a freeforall.We try to avoid that as much as possible”可推知，在“交换衣服”活动中，对一些不恰当的行为应该加以控制，故B项正确。A项在文中没有提及；根据第一段第一句“‘Clothes Swapping' is an activity which has become increasingly popular among American women”可知，第一段直接提到“交换衣服”活动在美国女士中越来越受欢迎，不需要推理得出，且在最后一段中没有体现，故C项错误；通读最后一段可知，该段主要讲述“交换衣服”活动中可能出现的问题，而不是需要组织更多的“交换衣服”活动，故D项错误。‎ ‎***语法填空 The wives who lived within the walls of the Weinsberg Castle in Germany were well aware of the riches it held: gold, silver, jewels, and wealth beyond belief. Then the day came in 1140 AD when all their __1__ (value) treasure was threatened. Welf, the Duke of Bavaria, sat __2__ (trap) inside his Weinsberg‎ ‎Castle. Outside the castle walls lay the army of Frederick, the Duke of Swabia, __3__ his brother, the Emperor Konrad, __4__ army had surrounded the castle and demanded the fortunes and the lives of the men within. ‎ Although the conquering commander had set a condition for the safe release of all the women and children, the wives in Weinsberg refused __5__ (leave) without having their own condition met. They demanded that they be allowed to fill their arms __6__ as many possessions as they could carry out. Thinking that the women couldn't __7__ (possible) take much, they met their request.‎ When the castle gates opened, the army outside was brought to __8__ (tear): every woman was carrying her husband! Konrad assured the women of their husbands' complete __9__ (safe) and freedom.

　2.________ 　3.________ 　4.________ 　5.________ 　‎ ‎6.________ 　7.________ 　8.________ 　9.________ 　10.________ ‎ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了德国Weinsberg城堡，该城堡以妇女的忠诚闻名于世。‎ ‎1．valuable/invaluable　考查词性转换。空处修饰名词treasure且表示“(极)宝贵的”，故用value的形容词形式valuable或invaluable。‎ 8‎ ‎2．trapped　考查非谓语动词。动词trap和主语之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，表示“(已经)被困城堡之内”，故用过去分词trapped作主语补足语，表明主语的状态。‎ ‎3．and　考查连词。根据语境可知，该句中的“Frederick, the Duke of Swabia”和“his brother, the Emperor Konrad”之间是并列关系，故用and。‎ ‎4．whose　考查定语从句的引导词。分析该句结构可知，该句为非限制性定语从句，army和先行词之间是所属关系，故用whose引导该定语从句。‎ ‎5．to leave　考查非谓语动词。refuse to do sth.为固定短语，表示“拒绝做某事”，此处表示，城堡里的妇女要求满足她们的条件，否则就拒绝离开。‎ ‎6．with　考查介词。fill (sth.) with sth. 为固定用法，意为“用……填满……”，故填with。‎ ‎7．possibly　考查词性转换。空处修饰动词take，故用副词形式。‎ ‎8．tears　考查名词的复数。tear为可数名词，此处构成固定搭配bring sb.to tears，意为“使某人流泪”，故用tear的复数形式tears。‎ ‎9．safety　考查词性转换。根据该句中的“complete ... and freedom”可知，形容词complete修饰空处所填词，空处与名词freedom为并列关系，故用名词形式safety。‎ ‎10．made　考查动词的时态。根据该句中的“He invited them”及全文时态可知，此处陈述的是过去发生的事情，故用一般过去时。‎ ‎***完形填空 I was looking through some old photo albums the other day.I had __1__ done that many times before but I felt a sudden __2__ to see them again.I found myself __3__ so many beautiful memories from my childhood.There was my dear Nana giving me a thorough __4__ when I was a newborn baby.There was me and my brother
