Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors
李仕才
***阅读理解。
Imagine this scene: it’s blowing outside, and you snuggle (蜷伏) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.
That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of “the happiest country in the world”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.
Hygge —originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being — doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or as blogger Anna West told the BBC, “coziness of the soul”. But, as professor Maren Spark explains, “Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”
Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it with your loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical Hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends —preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in the hot tub after a day spent skiing.
However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months —it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friends on summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.
1.The author asks the readers to imagine the scene in the first paragraph to_________ .
A. help the readers to calm down
B. introduce the topic of the passage
C. present the main idea of the passage
D. remind the readers of their past memories
2.What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?
A. The translation of the word “hygge” is not good enough.
B. Only Danish speakers know what “hygge” means.
7
C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.
D. We can get the true meaning of “hygge” by feeling it.
3.Which of the following can be best described as a “hygge” activity?
A. Skiing in the cold winter months.
B. Living through long dark winters.
C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.
D. Walking alone in the forest.
4.The author writes this passage to_________.
A. explain B. persuade
C. comment D. advertise
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,举例说明丹麦语hygge只可意会不可言传,需要用心去感受。
1.B 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段首句“That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish —hygge.”可知,作者让读者想想这样舒适的场景就是为了引出hygge这一话题。
2.D 【解析】推理判断题。根据画线部分前的“doesn’t have an exact equivalent in English.”可知,画线部分的意思是hygge只可意会不可言传。
4.A 【解析】写作意图题。根据文章内容可知,文章通过举例说明hygge只可意会不可言传,所以本文是为了解释丹麦语hygge的意思。

篇章导读:本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者在一次偶然的经历中意识到妈妈有一天可能会离开他,作者从此不再跟妈妈争吵了。
1.thinking 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,I与think之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,表主动,故填think的现在分词形式。
2.a 考查冠词。此处泛指“一个花店”,故用不定冠词a。
3.When/As 考查连词。这里指当作者走近的时候,故填
When/As来引导时间状语从句。
4.but 考查连词。空处前后为转折关系,故填but。
5.bought 考查动词的时态。这里表示过去发生的事情,用一般过去时,故填bought。
6.why 考查疑问副词。空后是在解释原因,故此处作者问的是她“为什么”会这样,故填why。
7.them 考查代词。此处指代“Roses”,故用them。
8.of/about 考查介词。根据语境可知,此时作者想起了自己的妈妈。
9.guilty 考查词性转换。feel后面接形容词,故填guilt的形容词形式。
10.immediately 考查词性转换。此处需用副词修饰动词词组
“went back”,故填immediate的副词形式。
***完形填空。

***短文改错。
Recently, Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman with 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At customs, he took a few minute to look for his passport. “You had been to France before, sir?” the customs officer asked joking. Mr Whiting admitted to that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have my passport ready.” The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn't have to show them.” “Impossible. Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France!” The American gave the Frenchman long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came in 1944 to help liberating this country, I couldn't find some Frenchmen to show it to.”
答案:
Recently, Robert Whiting, an elderly gentleman 83, arrived in Paris by plane. At customs, he took a few to look for his passport. “You

been to France before, sir?” the customs officer asked . Mr Whiting admitted that he had been to France previously. “Then you should know enough to have passport ready.” The American said, “The last time I was here, I didn't have to show .” “Impossible. Americans always have to show passports on arrival in France!” The American gave the Frenchman long hard look. Then he quietly explained, “Well, when I came in 1944 to help this country, I couldn't find Frenchmen to show it to.”
难项分析:
第三处:had→have 考查动词的时态。根据before可知此处应用现在完成时。表示“以前来过”。
第四处:joking→jokingly 考查副词。修饰动词应用该词的副词形式,故改为jokingly。
第九处:liberating→liberate 考查非谓语动词。“帮助做某事”为help (to) do sth.。
