Unit 2 Working the land
Ⅰ.单项填空
1.My sister,________ for months to find a job as a teacher, finally took a position in Wenzhou Daily.
A.struggling B.struggled
C.to struggle D.having struggled
解析 考查非谓语动词。struggle与my sister之间是主动关系,且有for months可知struggle这一动作已经存在一段时间,故应用现在分词的完成式作状语,修饰my sister。
答案 D
2.Dina,________for months to find a job as a waitress,finally took a position at a local advertising agency.
A.struggling B.struggled
C.having struggled D.to struggle
解析 考查非谓语动词作定语。句意:Dina,奋斗了几个月,想找个做女服务员的工作,最后在当地一家广告社谋到了一个职位。因Dina与struggle之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,且struggle发生在took之前,故用现在分词的完成时态作定语。
答案 C
3.— I'll help you prepare for the party on Wednesday.
— Please don't________.My sisters have promised to help me.
A.promise B.annoy C.bother D.disturb
解析 考查动词词义辨析。promise答应;承诺;annoy使恼怒;使生气;bother费心;麻烦;disturb妨碍;打搅。由句意“……请不必费心,我的姐妹们已经答应来帮我了”可知应选C项。
答案 C
4.— As a weightlifting athlete, Thomas is indeed too large, I think.
— But________that, he is still one of the best athletes at present.
A.in case of B.in spite of
C.thanks to D.in response to
解析 考查短语辨析。A项意为“万一;以防万一”;B项意为“尽管如此”;C项意为“幸亏;由于”;D项意为响应;反应”。
答案 B
5.Troubled by a terrible headache, Catherine wondered how she could________herself of the bad situation.
A.throw B.remove C.move D.rid
解析 考查动词词义辨析。throw扔;投;remove搬开;挪开;move移动;搬动;rid去掉;除掉。rid sb of sth“给某人去掉某物”。
答案 D
6.In April,2009,President Hu inspected the warships in Qingdao,________the 60th anniversary of the founding of the PLA Navy.
A.marking B.to mark
C.being marked D.having marked
解析 此题考查非谓语动词。mark和“President Hu inspected the warships in Qingdao”之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,故选A。
答案 A
7.It is illegal for a public official to ask people for gifts or money ______favors to them.
A.in preference to B.in place of
C.in agreement with D. in exchange for
解析 考查介词短语的用法。句意:公职人员向人们索要礼品或金钱作为给人们带来恩惠的交换是非法的。A.“优先于”;B.“代替”;C.“同意,赞同,与……一致”;D.“作为交换”。由题干和四个介词短语的含义可知,D项正确。
答案 D
8.The company________only when it gets orders from a foreign country.
A.imports B.exports C.transports D.deports
解析 句意:只有当这个公司从国外得到订单时,才出口。export出口;import进口;transport运输;deport驱逐(出境)。
答案 B
9.The meeting______tomorrow afternoon is about ______rid of pollution.
A.held;to get B.to be held;getting
C.to hold;to get D.being held;getting
解析 第一空hold与其逻辑主语the meeting之间是被动关系,因此用不定式的被动式表将来;第二空get rid of“阻止,除掉”作介词about的宾语,因此用动名词形式。句意:明天下午举行的会议是关于制止污染问题的。
答案 B
10.Progress so far has been very good,________,we are sure that the project will be completed on time.
A.however B.otherwise C.therefore D.besides
解析
句意:迄今为止,进展很顺利,因此,我们肯定项目能按时完成。两个分句是因果关系。however无论如何,不管怎样,然而;otherwise另外,否则;therefore因此,所以;besides此外,除此之外。
答案 C
11.She thought I was praising her son,________as a matter of fact,I was scolding him for his bad behaviours at school.
A.while B.therefore C.which D.so that
解析 句意:她认为我在表扬她儿子,其实不然,我倒是在批评他在学校的不良行为。用while表示转折。
答案 A
12.There was a______look on his face when he met with the______problem.
A.confusing;confusing B.confused;confused
C.confusing;confused D.confused;confusing
解析 本题第二个空比较简单,选confusing表示“令人困惑的(难题)”。第一个空往往也受此影响误选confusing,再加上confused多用来指人,选错的可能性就会更大。确定第一个空的关键:confusing look是令别人困惑的一种表情;而confused look是当事人内心感到困惑时流露出的表情。
答案 D
13.—The final exam is coming.Would you mind my staying up late,going over my lessons?
—I'd rather you________.With the light on,I can't fall asleep.
A.don't B.didn't C.won't D.haven't
解析 “would rather+从句”时,从句的主语与主句主语不一致时,从句中的谓语动词若表示同现在事实相反,则应用一般过去时。
答案 B
14.—Do you regret________2,000 yuan for the trip?
—No.I would gladly have paid________for it.
A.to pay;twice so much
B.to have paid;as much twice
C.paying;twice as much
D.having paid;so much twice
解析 由句意可知,“我”的两千元早已经付了,因此回答表示“不懊悔。我愿意付两倍的钱”。regret接动词ing形式时,表示“后悔已经做过的事情”;as much修饰倍数时,应该把倍数放在前面。
答案 C
15.People believe that we________a special ability to learn language and that our
brain________itself to the language we heard around us.
A.are prepared for;adjusts
B.are equipped for;adapts
C.are armed with;fits
D.are equipped with;adjusts
解析 句意:人们认为我们具备特别的语言学习能力,并且我们的大脑也适应了我们所听到的周围的语言。be prepared for和be equipped for意为“为……做好准备”,不符合句意;be armed with和be equipped with意为“用……武装好自己;具备”,符合句意。adjust(oneself)to意为“(使)适应”。
答案 D
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Areas of Tokyo which had usually been packed with office workers like sushi(寿司) restaurants and noodle shops were unusually quiet. Many schools were closed. Companies allowed workers to stay home. Long queues formed at airports.
As Japanese authorities struggled to avoid disaster at an earthquakebattered nuclear plant 240 km to the north, parts of Tokyo resembled a ghost town. Many people stocked up on food and stayed indoors or simply left, transforming one of the world's biggest and most populated cities into a shell of its usual self.
“Look, it's like Sunday —no cars in town,” said Kazushi Arisawa, a 62yearold taxi driver, as he waited for more than an hour outside an office tower where he usually finds customers within minutes. “I can't make money today. ”
Radiation in Tokyo has been negligible,_ briefly touching three times the normal rate on Tuesday, smaller than a dental Xray. On Wednesday, winds over the Fukushima (福岛) nuclearpower plant blew out to sea, keeping levels close to normal. But that does little to relieve public anxiety about a 40yearold nuclear plant with three reactors in partial meltdown (熔毁)and a fourth with spent atomic fuel exposed to the atmosphere after last Friday's earthquake and tsunami.
“Radiation moves faster than we do,” said Steven Swanson, a 43yearold American who moved to Tokyo in December with his Japanese wife to help with her family business.He is staying indoor but is tempted to leave.“It's scary.It's a triple threat with the earthquake, tsunami and the nuclear radiation leaks.It makes you wonder what's next. ”

Research shows that childhood friendships are important indicators of future success and social adjustment.Children’s relationships with peers (同龄人) strongly influence their success in school,and children with fewer friends are more at risk of dropping out of school,becoming depressed and other problems.
Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play
When 6yearold Rachel returned to school on a recent Monday morning,her eyes immediately scanned the playground for her friend Abbie.“Though they were only separated by a weekend,the girls ran right into each other’s arms and hugged,”recalls Rachel’s mother
Kathryn Willis of Gilbert.“It was like a scene from a movie.”
Most parents instinctively (本能地) know that having friends is good for their child.Experts agree that friendship is not simply child’s play,but a powerful predictor of social adjustment throughout life.
A Skill for Life
“Childhood friendships serve as a very important training ground for adulthood,” says Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia,psychologist with the Center for Children’s Health & Life Development at the East Valley Family Resource Center.
Researcher William Hartup states,“Peer relations contribute significantly to both social and cognitive (认知的) development.” Hartup concludes that the single best childhood predictor of adult social adaptation is not school grades or classroom behavior,but rather,how well a child gets along with other children.
The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids,so is the lack of friends detrimental.
Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen
Experts agree that it is essential for children to establish highquality friendships.But,researchers warn,these friendships don’t necessarily just happen.Often,a good friendship begins with involved parents.
Psychologist Dr.Lynne Kenney Markan believes kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading.
Bad Company
Many parents worry about the quality as well as the quantity of their child’s friendships.“When she was in 1st grade,her supposed ‘best friend’ began calling her names and threatening to hurt her,” says Mindy Miller.“My daughter wasn’t allowed to talk to or even look at other girls in her class.It really crushed her spirit.I told my daughter she didn’t need a ‘friend’ like that.”
“I’ll bend over backwards to help my son get together with a friend I think is good for him,” AdlerTapia says.“I don’t look at it as manipulation (操纵),just positive parental involvement.”
【语篇解读】 研究表明,童年时期的友谊对孩子的将来有着非常重要的意义。
5.The example of Rachel and Abbie is used to illustrate that________.
A.childhood friendship is of great significance to their growth
B.a positive friendship helps children solve emotional and physical problems
C.it is a proven fact that peer friendship is the most rewarding experience throughout life
D.Rachel missed her friend Abbie very much because of their separation of one weekend
解析 细节理解题。文中六岁的Rachel与她的朋友Abbie
之间的友谊例证了本部分的标题Making and Keeping Friends Is More than Child’s Play,再结合文章首句可知应选A项。
答案 A
6.The underlined word “detrimental” could be replaced by________.
A.aggressive B.disappointing
C.ridiculous D.harmful
解析 词义猜测题。根据文中的“The work of Arizona State University professor of Developmental Psychology Gary Ladd proves that just as being able to make and keep friends is beneficial to kids,so is the lack of friends detrimental.”可知,“detrimental”与句中的“beneficial”相对应,因此“detrimental”与“harmful”同义。
答案 D
7.We can learn from the passage that highquality friendship most probably results from______.
A.social skills and good study habits
B.school grades and classroom behaviors
C.academic success and social adaptation
D.positive parental involvement and social skills
解析 细节理解题。根据Good Friendships Don’t Just Happen中的“a good friendship begins with involved parents”与“kids should be taught social skills in much the same way they are taught math and reading”可知,D项正确。
答案 D
8.From the last paragraph we can conclude that Dr.Robbie AdlerTapia agrees that________.
A.parents should regard making friends as something that just happens
B.it’s wise for parents to support and encourage healthy peer relationships
C.parents only need to help their children to cope with difficult social situations
D.parents are supposed to encourage their children to make as many friends as they can
解析 推理判断题。根据文章的最后一句可推知,父母应该在孩子交友的问题上给予指导,避免其受到不良影响,因此选B。
答案 B
