Unit 5 The power of nature 李仕才 一、阅读理解。‎ Space World theme park in the southwestern Japanese city of Kitakyushu has had to close their winter attraction after it froze around 5,000 fish into an ice rink(溜冰场)．‎ The park，which is described as a“theme park all about space”，launched their“Frozen Port”exhibition in an attempt to educate people about marine life as they skated over it.The Aquarium of Ice attracted people to visit by promising a worldfirst(possibly for a reason)experience of“skating across the sea”while looking down on fish，crabs，and a whale shark.‎ But it seems they_got_a_little_out_of_their_depth.Despite reported popularity since it's opening on 12 November,2016，the park received surprising criticism on social media.It could be put down in part to the caption(说明文字)they used when sharing some pictures：“I am d．..d...drowning，s...s...suffocating.”‎ In response，one commenter said the park was“disrespectful of life”，while another said it was displaying a“surprising lack of morality”．Still others urged the company to go out of business.‎ Asked if the theme park thought the“drowning”caption had any issues，Manager Toshimi Takeda replied，“Another employee wrote it，hoping people would find it funny.But I do feel that not enough caution was taken.I apologize.”‎ According to management，the fish were already dead when they bought them，sourced from markets and were chosen because they were unable to be sold.‎ Space World have decided to close the event and are considering holding an“appropriate religious service”once they have melted the rink—which could take over a week.Manager Toshimi Takeda said they have proposed to“hold a memorial service for the fish who worked hard for us”and then reuse them as fertilizer.‎ ‎1．What's the purpose of “Frozen‎ ‎Port” exhibition?‎ A．To encourage people to skate.‎ B．To educate people about sea life.‎ C．To make skating more enjoyable.‎ D．To look after sea animals.‎ ‎2．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?‎ A．The water is not deep enough for the fish.‎ 8‎ B．The exhibition is well received on social media.‎ C．People's response is out of their expectation.‎ D．The program is not the first one in the world.‎ ‎3．How did Toshimi Takeda feel about the “drowning” caption?‎ A．He felt sorry for the result.‎ B．He took it as a humor.‎ C．He blamed himself for carelessness.‎ D．He was cautious about it.‎ ‎4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A．The fish will be set free.‎ B．The theme park will be closed.‎ C．The fish should have been used as fertilizer.‎ D．The fish will be honored in a proper way.‎ ‎【解题导语】日本一家溜冰场因将大约5,000条鱼冻在冰面下而受到公众批评，并因此关闭。‎ 长难句分析：Space World have decided to close the event and are considering holding an“appropriate religious service” once they have melted the rink—which could take over a week.‎ 分析：本句为主从复合句，and连接两个并列分句，once引导时间状语从句，破折号后的which引导定语从句，修饰they have melted the rink整个句子，该从句中take意为“花费”。‎ 译文：太空世界已经决定关闭该项活动，并正在考虑一旦溜冰场融化会举行一个“适当的宗教活动”，溜冰场融化可能会花费一个多星期的时间。‎ ‎1．B　考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句The park，which is described as a“theme park all about space”，launched their“Frozen Port”exhibition in an attempt to educate people about marine life...可知，这个展览的目的是向人们普及海洋生物的知识，故选B项。‎ ‎2．C　考查推理判断。根据Despite reported popularity since it's opening on 12 November,2016，the park received surprising criticism on social media.可知，尽管展览之初受到欢迎，但是在社交媒体上也受到了预料之外的批评，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．A　考查推理判断。根据文章第五段中的But I do feel that not enough caution was taken.I apologize.可知，经理Toshimi Takeda对此次事件表示抱歉。故选A项。‎ ‎4．D　考查细节理解。根据最后一段第二句中的“hold a memorial service for the fish who worked hard for us”可知，会以一种恰当的方式纪念这些鱼。故选D项。‎ 8‎ 二、语法填空。‎ I still have good memories of a certain gentleman helping shape my future.

I was very happy because I saved a little dog.‎ 难项分析：‎ 第四处：something→anything　考查不定代词。在否定句中，一般用anything，故改为anything。‎ 第五处：Besides→However　考查副词。besides“此外”，表达递进关系。而此处为转折关系，故用副词however。‎ 第七处：got→getting　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，get与其逻辑主语Dad之间是主谓关系，且get an idea和句子谓语said所表示的动作几乎同时发生，故用现在分词。‎ 五、七选五。‎ ‎ ‎ 8‎
