必修四 Unit 1课下语篇提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2019·南宁高三毕业班联考)It used to be one of the world's most splendid train stations, sitting on the FrenchSpanish border — but then it fell into disrepair. Now, writes Chris Bockman, the building is showing new signs of life.
The train station was built in iron and glass, complete with a hospital, a restaurant and living quarters for customs officers from both France and Spain. At the time it was nicknamed the “Titanic of the Mountains”.
But after the day the station was opened in 1928 by the French president and the Spanish king, flaws quickly became obvious. The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains. It made transporting goods too slow. In the early 1930s, as few as 50 passengers a day were using the station. And then things got worse. During the Spanish Civil War, the tunnels on the Spanish side were sealed off to prevent Republican rebels (反叛者) from bringing weapons in. Later, the French lost interest in the line. When a train derailed on the French side in 1970, that signaled that France abandoned the line.
The grand building itself went to rot. The tracks rusted, the ceilings fell in with the severe winter weather and vandalism (故意破坏财物的行为) did the rest.
But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it, claiming it was a major part of Spanish history. The French government has agreed to reopen the line on its side too. If all goes to plan, the “Titanic of the Mountains” could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022. It is reported that the massive wooden ticket counters at the station have already been restored.
1.The following factors contributed to the shutdown of the train station EXCEPT________.
A.its poor appearance B.different gauges
C.the Spanish Civil War D.slow transporting speed
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The rail gauges (轨距) were different, so passengers still had to change trains. It made transporting goods too slow.”可知,轨距不同和运输速度慢是造成火车站关闭的原因;根据第三段中的“During the Spanish Civil War ...from bringing weapons in.” 可知,西班牙内战是造成火车站关闭的原因。故选项A不是造成火车站关闭的原因,所以选A。
2.When the train station reopens, it may celebrate its ________ anniversary.
A.52nd B.72nd
C.94th D.89th
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But after the day the station was opened in
1928”和最后一段中的“If all goes to plan, the ‘Titanic of the Mountains’ could be back in business within five years before the end of 2022.”可以计算出:2022-1928=94(年),当其恢复使用时应是庆祝其94周年纪念日,所以选C。
3.What will probably happen to the train station?
A.It will be repaired.
B.It will be turned into a museum.
C.It will be knocked down.
D.It will be sold to the French government.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段首句“But a few years ago the local government in Aragon decided to buy the place and restore it”可知,几年前阿拉贡的当地政府要购买并且恢复该火车站。restore意为“使恢复,修复”,所以选A。
4.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Design of a Train Station
B.The War Between France and Spain
C.The History of a Train Station
D.The “Titanic of the Mountains” Coming Back
解析:选D 标题归纳题。根据全文尤其是第一段中的“the building is showing new signs of life”和最后一段中的“If all goes to plan, the ‘Titanic of the Mountains’ could be back”可知,选项D能够概括全文,故作本文标题最佳。

People thought it was impossible to farm this land and __4__ I was throwing away my career. However, I was determined to work on developing the water resources in the area,” says Rajesh.
It took a lot of financial resources and time __5__ (create) the lake, which is enough to irrigate(灌溉) the whole farm. This has not only encouraged plant ___6__ (grow) in the area, but also helped in increasing the water table (地下水位) in the surrounding areas __7__ the farm. Besides growing fruit and vegetables, Rajesh has also started a dairy farm that has __8__ (many) than 200 cows.
“If this model __9__ (carry) out in every part of the country, the whole country will be able to solve its water problems and have agriculture __10__ (total) based on organic farming. What is important is the will of people and the support from the government,” says Rajesh.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要介绍了Rajesh Naik 把120英亩的荒地变成了有机农场的过程及其对未来的期望。
1.has transformed 考查动词的时态。此处为过去发生的事情对现在造成的影响,所以用现在完成时,即Rajesh Naik已经把120英亩的荒地变成了一个有机农场。
2.inspiring 考查非谓语动词。为努力创造一个大型湖泊提供了一个鼓舞人心的例子。根据语境可知,此处应用现在分词作定语,意为“鼓舞人心的”。
3.where 考查定语从句。坚硬的岩石结构使其难以蓄水。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,且在从句中作地点状语,故填where。
4.that 考查连接词。人们认为耕种这片土地是不可能的,我正在浪费我的事业。分析句子结构可知此处为宾语从句,若动词后有两个或多个并列的宾语从句时,第二个和后面几个从句的that不能省略,所以此处应填that。
5.to create 考查非谓语动词。建成这个湖需要花费大量的财政资源和时间。此处it takes(sb.)+时间/金钱+to do sth.为固定结构,其中动词不定式为真正的主语。
6.growth 考查名词。这不仅促进了该地区植物的生长,而且也提高了农场周边地区的地下水位。根据语境可知此处用名词growth意为“生长”。
7.of 考查介词。根据语境可知the farm与the surrounding areas为所属关系,所以用of所有格。
8.more 考查形容词比较级。Rajesh还创办了一个有200多头奶牛的牛奶场。此处more than意为“超过”,为固定结构。
9.is carried 考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,此处主语model与动词carry之间为被动关系;空处所在句描述的是将来的情况,又因为在含有条件状语从句的复合句中,从句应用一般现在时代替一般将来时,故此处用一般现在时的被动语态。
10.totally 考查副词。此处修饰动词短语based on,用副词。
Ⅳ.短文改错
(2019·郑州第三次质量预测)In the past two years, our school had organized many activities. What impressed me most was an activity calling “Learning to Farm”. In an autumn afternoon, we went to the farm, where we learned to plant potatoes. Having been in the city for such a long time, we are so happy to go to the countryside. After we got there, we were divided into three groups, we started to work. Some students cut potatoes into pieces, some dug hole, and the others put the pieces of potatoes into the holes, put the earth back and pushed them down hard. We were all busy working as all the work was done. Though we were tired out, we felt pleased on our way back to home.

第四句:are→were
第五句:第三个we前加and
第六句:hole→holes; them→it
