Unit 3 Inventors and inventions 李仕才 ‎***阅读理解。‎ Almost no one can resist a good mystery novel or detective novel, so these novels sell thousands of copies each year. And many readers regard famous mystery author Agatha Christie as Queen of Crime, whose stories are known for their tense atmosphere and strong psychological suspense and have a great effect on the English mystery novels.‎ Christie was born in September ‎1890 in England. When she was growing up, her mother often told her stories. Christie loved these stories, which took her into a world of fantasy. Christie’s mother also encouraged her to write from a young age and also took her to travel a lot.‎ She married Archie Christie in 1914 at the beginning of World War Ⅰ. During the war, Christie wrote her first detective story: The Mysterious Affair at Styles. She chose the crime, and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot, ranking second to Sherlock Holmes, to solve it. She sent the book to a publisher, but it was rejected.‎ After the war ended, Christie sent her book to more publishers, and finally, in 1920, one published it. She earned just $25 for it. Over the next few years, Christie wrote more books and short stories, gaining experience as a writer. In spite of her literary success, life was not going well at home. In 1928, Archie and Agatha got a divorce(离婚). A short time later, she met a young archaeologist, Max Mallowan. After getting married in 1930, they began to spend some time each year in the Middle East, which provided settings for some of Christie’s novels, such as Murder at the Vicarage(1930), Murder on the Orient Express (1934)and Death on the Nile(1939).‎ Christie continued writing for the rest of her life. When she died in January 1976, readers around the world mourned(哀悼)her death. But her tales of mystery continue to be loved by new generations of readers. They’ve been translated into hundreds of languages and are selling well today and outsold only by the Bible ‎ and Shakespeare in Britain.‎ ‎1.As a whole, this text 　　　　.‎ A.is a biography of Agatha Christie B. promotes Agatha Christie’s novels C. explains how Agatha Christie became a writer D.is a review of Agatha Christie’s novels ‎2.What do we know about Hercule Poirot?‎ A. He was better known than Sherlock Holmes.‎ B. He made Christie become famous.‎ C. He was good at catching criminals.‎ D. He was the only main character in the novel.‎ ‎3.From the underlined part "outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare in Britain", we can learn that 　　　　.‎ A. the Bible helps her works to sell in ‎Britain B. the sales of her works rank third in ‎Britain C. the works of Shakespeare don’t sell better than hers in ‎Britain D. they sell well equally in ‎Britain ‎4.Which is the right order for what Agatha Christie experienced?‎ ‎①She had her first detective novel published.‎ ‎②She finished The Mysterious Affair at Styles.‎ ‎③Her mother encouraged her to write.‎ ‎④Her marriage to Archie ended in divorce.‎ ‎⑤She wrote Murder on the Orient Express.‎ A.③②④①⑤ B.③①②⑤④‎ C.②①③⑤④ D.③②①④⑤‎ ‎【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要介绍了英国著名女侦探小说家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生平和她在写作上取得的成就。‎ ‎1.A 【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了英国著名女侦探小说家阿加莎·克里斯蒂的生平和她在写作上取得的成就，因此本文是一篇人物传记。故A项正确。‎ ‎2.C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中的"She chose the crime, and then invented a detective named Hercule Poirot, ranking second to Sherlock Holmes, to solve it."可知，C项正确。‎ ‎4.D 【解析】排列顺序题。综合全文信息可知，"她母亲鼓励她写作"最先发生，由此可排除选项C；由第三、四段可知，②先于①发生，①先于④发生，由此可排除A、B两项。故D项正确。‎ ‎***语法填空。‎ They survive in some of the coldest environments in the world—but even penguins appreciate a warm woolly jumper (套头毛衣) once in a while.‎ The mini knitted garments have helped save hundreds of flightless birds caught __1__oil leaks, providing protection from the elements and stopping them from swallowing __2__(poison) pollution.‎ Knits for Nature, a program run by the Penguin Foundation, __3__ conserves the little penguin population of Phillip Island, ‎140 km southeast of Melbourne, __4__(create) up to 300 different designs over the years—and it is all thanks to talented volunteers. “There's a lot of __5__ (hide) creativity out there，” said Lyn Blom, of Phillip Island Nature Park.‎ ‎“People love to know that they're helping the penguins __6__ they're so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they're so strong. But they need to be, for they live in __7__pretty tough sort of environment.”‎ A thumbnail－sized patch of oil can kill little penguins, the __8__ (small) of the species, measuring just 13 inches (‎33 cm) and weighing ‎2.2 lbs (‎1kg). The oil separates and mats their feathers, breaking natural waterproof and heating functions.‎ Ms Blom estimates __9__she has knitted between 200 and 300 penguin jumpers over the years, including __10__in the colours of every Australian football team in the country.‎ ‎1．________2.________3.________4.________5.________ 　6.________7.________ 8.________ 9.________ 10.________ ‎ 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。Ms Blom编织的迷你毛衣成功拯救了数百只企鹅，能防止它们接触到石油中的微量元素，甚至误食有毒的污染物。‎ ‎1．in 考查介词。这里是“be caught in”的固定搭配，意思为“被困于……中”。文中是过去分词短语作定语修饰flightless birds。‎ ‎2．poisonous 考查词性转换。poisonous作为形容词修饰其后面的名词。‎ ‎3．which 考查定语从句的引导词。空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代先行词the Penguin Foundation，并在从句中作主语，故用which。‎ ‎4．has created 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“over the years”可知这里用现在完成时，句子的主语是一个名为Knits for Nature的项目，故谓语动词要用第三人称单数。‎ ‎5．hidden 考查非谓语动词。creativity是名词，其前要用形容词修饰，动词hide与creativity之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用过去分词。此处为过去分词转化而来的形容词作定语。‎ ‎6．because 考查连词。“they're so cute and small and they waddle up the beach and they're so strong”是“People love to know that they're helping the penguins”的原因，故用because引导原因状语从句。‎ ‎7．a 考查冠词。此处表示泛指，且pretty的读音是以辅音音素开头的，故用a。a pretty tough sort of environment表示的是“一种相当恶劣的环境”。‎ ‎8．smallest 考查形容词的最高级。根据上下文语境和空前的the可知这里应该用最高级。‎ ‎9．that 考查宾语从句的连接词。分析句子成分可知，空处引导宾语从句作estimates的宾语，宾语从句中句意和成分完整，故用that。‎ ‎10．those　考查代词。those指代前面所说的penguin jumpers。‎ ‎***完形填空。‎ Make Good Memories My husband Bill's Grandma was in a nursing home when we moved back to Michigan.Grandma had been unable to walk for quite some time；now her eyesight was almost gone.‎ Over the years Grandma and I had __1__ many
