Unit 3 Life in the future
李仕才
一、阅读理解。
You might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose,but admit it,you do it too.And while it might be the natural option when there isn't a box of tissues around,it can be bad for you.The main reasons why people feel the need to pick their nose are to clear it of dried liquid,stop an itch(痒),or just because it feels good.Boogers(鼻屎)form when dried liquid and cilium,the tiny hairs that line the nostrils(鼻孔),trap the dust,dirt,and other things.When boogers build up in your nose,it can be uncomfortable,and sometimes just blowing them into a tissue doesn't do_the_trick.
Otolaryngologist Erich P.Voigt,MD,told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils.That's not terribly damaging,but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body,it can cause a cold.So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.
If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils,making you want to pick,consider damping the air at home,or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.
Children,who are most famous for having a finger in their nose,sometimes don't realize how much injury they're causing,and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeding.
So,next time you go to pick your nose,think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers,and maybe reach for a tissue instead.Even if you're alone,and not waiting for the light to turn green,please,use a tissue.
1.Why do people pick their nose?
A.Because they want to disgust others.
B.Because they have the need to do it.
C.Because they have nothing else to do.
D.Because they don't have tissues around.
2.Which of the following can replace the underlined part“do the trick”in Paragraph 1?
A.act B.cheat
C.play D.help
8
3.Which can help people avoid a cold and flu according to the text?
A.Stopping picking the nose.
B.Using tissues regularly.
C.Taking a shower every day.
D.Keeping the air wet at home.
4.What should you do when you have to pick your nose?
A.Be careful not to cause bleeding.
B.Use a tissue instead of bare fingers.
C.Wait for the light to turn red if you are driving.
D.Wash your hands and clear your fingernails.
【解题导语】本文主要分析了人们抠鼻子的原因以及抠鼻子所带来的不良后果,并呼吁人们需要时用纸巾而不是用手指抠鼻子。
【难句分析】Children,who are most famous for having a finger in their nose,sometimes don't realize how much injury they're causing,and sometimes it can lead to nose bleeding.
分析:本句是一个复合句。who引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,修饰先行词Children;and连接两个并列的分句。
译文:那些经常用手指抠鼻子的孩子有时候并没有意识到他们这样做会造成多大的伤害,有时候这样做会导致鼻子流血。
1.B 考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句“The main reasons why people feel the need to pick their nose are to clear it of dried liquid,stop an itch(痒),or just because it feels good”可知,人们抠鼻子的原因是他们认为有必要这样做,故选B。
2.D 考查词义猜测。根据第一段最后一句中的“When boogers build up in your nose,it can be uncomfortable”可推知,鼻屎堵住鼻子的话,有时候擤鼻子并没有用。help意为“减轻,改善”,符合题意,故选D。
3.A 考查推理判断。根据第二段最后两句“That's not terribly damaging, but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body,it can cause a cold.So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose”可推知,抠鼻子有可能引起细菌感染,让人感冒,因此医生强烈建议不要抠鼻子,故选A。
4.B 考查细节理解。根据文章最后一段第一句“So,next time you go to pick your nose,think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers,and maybe reach for a tissue instead”可知,下次要抠鼻子的话,不要直接用手指,而是用纸巾。
二、语法填空。

The Taj Mahal is considered to be one of the most beautiful buildings in the world, __1__shows its different beauty with the sunlight changing its color during the day, so __2__(technical) you can make a visit anytime of the day.
However, sunrise is the best time __3__the monument is like a blooming flower when the day breaks. Moreover, visiting in the early morning, you can avoid not only the heat but the crowds. For those people in pursuit of some perfect shots who don't want to wait too long, getting up earlier can be very __4__(reward).
In addition, a sunset visit is also a nice __5__(choose) if you are not a morning person. The temperature becomes cooler __6__the burning afternoon and the monument __7__(surround) by soft silver light. Usually there are more visitors at sunset than sunrise; it takes patience __8__(capture) some good pictures.
If you happen to be in Agra on the full moon day __9__2 days before/after, a night visit to the Taj Mahal is also available.Unlike what you see in the daytime, __10__outline of the structure against the dark sky and moonlight is full of peace and magic.
1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________ 5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________ 9.________ 10.________
篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。有人说,不看泰姬陵就不算到过印度。本文向读者介绍了参观泰姬陵的最佳时间。
1.which 考查定语从句的引导词。所填词引导一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是The Taj Mahal,并且关系词在从句中作主语,故填which。
2.technically 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处修饰整个句子,因此用副词。technically表示“严格来说”。
3.as/because 考查连词。设空后的句子解释“sunrise is the best time”的原因,故用as或because引导原因状语从句。
4.rewarding 考查词性转换。分析句子结构可知,空处在句中作表语,故用形容词形式rewarding,意为“值得的”。
5.choice 考查词性转换。空前有“a nice”,故填名词choice。
6.after 考查介词。本句中的“cooler”说明傍晚的温度要低一些,而且前一句中的sunset也表明是在炽热的下午之后。
7.is surrounded 考查动词的时态和语态。句子的主语monument与surround之间存在被动关系,且此处描述一般情况和情形,应用一般现在时,故用一般现在时的被动语态。
8.to capture 考查非谓语动词。本句为It takes ... to do ... 句式,因此用不定式。
8
9.or 考查连词。此处表示“如果你碰巧在月圆的那天或者在此之前或之后的两天在Agra”。故用or表示“或者”。
10.the 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,空处表示特指,故用定冠词the。
三、完形填空。
Hello, Mr. WiFi. Life without you is next to impossible now. We're happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. __1__ I know you help me, sometimes you're making me do things with __2__ attention. Many times I promise myself that I'll __3__ my feelings towards you, but you're __4__ me closer and closer... You've entered both my home and my __5__. You're just a window for our __6__ and information. But we people aren't __7__ only with the window. So we open all our __8__ for you. Is this a(n) __9__ or some kind of attachment? If this is an illness, is it curable? And if this is an attachment will you __10__ me to the lifelong togetherness?
We want you 24/7. Can't you take a few days off so that both you and I can __11__? You're a poison — not a slow one but a super __12__ poison which holds our mind and makes us dance __13__ its tune. Nowadays you're so __14__ that anyone can buy and make you our __15__. You'll never be bothered about our health but we'll __16__ be concerned about your “health”. Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone.
If you were a __17__ person made of flesh and blood (血肉之躯) would we love you the same? You __18__ us with your numerous talents and we even can't get rid of you. We're all you __19__. Sometimes I wonder how people in the previous generations __20__, but if they did why can't we?

【解题导语】作者用诙谐的语气质问WiFi,这呈现了现代人的一种通病,那就是对无线网络的依赖。
1.C 根据语境可知,虽然(Though)作者知道WiFi帮助了自己,但是正是WiFi的特殊作用让作者在做事情的时候会分心。
2.D 参见上题解析。
8
3.A 根据语境可知,作者很多次都对自己承诺说要抑制(keep in)自己对WiFi的情感。bring back“使回忆起,使想起”;approve of“同意,赞成”;give up“放弃”。
4.A 根据语境可知,此处形象生动地表现了作者不能抗拒WiFi对自己的吸引。draw“吸引”符合语境。force“强迫,迫使”;observe“观察”。
5.B WiFi进入了作者的家和灵魂中。下文中的“holds our mind”是关键提示。
6.A WiFi(本来)只是我们娱乐(entertainment)和获取信息的窗口。argument“争论”;expansion“扩张”;struggle“斗争,奋斗”。
7.B 根据上文的“You're just a window for our... information”以及“But”所表示的转折关系可知,此处表示人们并不满足于(satisfied)WiFi仅仅是个“窗口(window)”。 strict“严格的”;generous“慷慨的”。
8.D 此处表示人们将WiFi的作用扩大化,不仅仅满足于其作为窗口的作用,而是将所有的“门(doors)”打开迎接WiFi。某种程度上而言,door是window的“升级版”。
9.A 结合下文中的“an illness”可知,作者疑惑的是自己和其他人对WiFi如此依赖的现象是否是一种病(disease)。inspiration“灵感”;routine“惯例”;phenomenon“现象”。
10.C 如果对WiFi的情感是一种依赖的话,WiFi能保证与作者一生都亲密无间吗?commit意为“保证(做某事、遵守协议或遵从安排等),承诺”,符合语境。recommend“推荐”;instruct“教导”;adapt“适应”。
11.B WiFi不能给自己放几天假以便它和作者都能放松(relax)一下吗?persist“坚持”;progress“发展、(使)进步”;balance“平衡”。
12.D 根据本句中的“not a slow one”可知,WiFi并不是慢性毒药,而是快速起效的毒药,故用fast与slow形成对比。raw“不熟练的”;ambiguous“含糊不清的”。
13.A WiFi是一种能控制人们的思想并使人们随着它的音调起舞的毒药。dance to表示“随着……跳舞”。
14.A 根据下文中的“anyone can buy”可知,如今WiFi的价格是如此低廉以至于任何人都能买到,并使其成为人们的伴侣。affordable“支付得起的,不算太贵的”;valuable“有价值的”;conventional“传统的”;attractive“有吸引力的”。
15.C 参见上题解析。下文中的“Because you accompany us everywhere and never let us be alone”亦是提示。addition“加,添加”;companion“伴侣,伙伴”;instrument“工具”。
16.B 毫无生命的WiFi是决不会在意其用户的健康的,但是用户们会一直担心WiFi的“健康”,此处用always与上文的“never”形成对比,强调人们对WiFi的在意程度。
17.D 根据下文中的“person made of flesh and
8
blood(血肉之躯)”可知,作者想知道如果WiFi成为拥有血肉之躯的真实的人,人们是否会一样喜欢它。selfish“自私的”;dishonest“不诚实的”;responsible“负责任的”。
18.A 根据上文作者介绍的人们对WiFi的依赖及下文中的“we even can't get rid of you”可知,人们离开了WiFi简直无法生活下去,而本句中的“with your numerous talents”正是WiFi控制人们的方式。control“控制”;scold“责备”;comfort“安慰”;challenge“挑战”。
19.B 根据语境可知,WiFi控制了人们,也就是说人们成了被其掌控的奴隶(slaves)。colleague“同事”;employer“雇主”。
20.C 根据语境尤其是本句中的“in the previous generations”可知,作者非常疑惑的是在早期没有WiFi的时候人们是如何存活(survived)下来的。suffer“受苦”;connect“联系”;surf“冲浪”。
四、短文改错。
My grandfather is very kind to me. He loved me very much. I am the apple of his eye, and when it comes to my study, he is very strict and will never let me to be lazy. Every day he spends more than one hour examine my homework. With his help, I have been doing well my studies.
My grandfather is also warmhearted to people whom are his neighbors or complete strangers and is always ready to help them.One day, the girl, one of his neighbor, injured her leg carelessly.My grandfather took the girl to the hospital immediate and paid the fees with her own savings.
答案:

and paid the fees with own savings.
难项分析:
第二处:and→but 考查连词。前后句之间为转折关系,故用but。
第六处:whom→who/that 考查定语从句的引导词。先行词是people,关系词在从句中作主语,故用who/that。注意:whom在从句中作宾语。
第十处:her→his 考查代词。根据语境可知,此处指作者爷爷自己的积蓄,故用his。
五、七选五
