Module3TheViolenceofNature

第1課時Introduction

i.單項填空

從題中所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出一個最佳答案。

1.Ifyoudon*ttakeallyourthingsfromthedesk,therewon'tbeenoughformy

stationery.

A.areaB.place

C.roomD.surface

答案：C

解析:在此句中room表示“空間”；是不可數(shù)名詞。選項B表示地方時，是可數(shù)名詞，

需要用冠詞。area指“面積”，surface表示“物質(zhì)的表面”。

2.Itistheyoungmanlookedforcaughtthemurderer.

A.that;whoB.that;they

C.they;thatD.they;which

答案：C

解析：本題考查了定語從句和強調(diào)句式。強調(diào)句式的結(jié)構(gòu)是“Itis+被強調(diào)部分+

that/who...^otheylookedfor前省略了關(guān)系代詞that,因為先行詞theyoungman在從句中作

lookedfor的賓語。強調(diào)句為Itistheyoungmanwho/thatcaughtthemurderer.本句意思是“是

那個他們尋找的年輕人抓住了殺人犯"?！?/p>

3.Hetriedhardbutcouldn'tthereasonwhyshekeptsilentatthemeeting.

A.lookforB.find

C.findoutD.discover

答案：C

施析：這是一道涉及動詞短語辨析的習(xí)題。根據(jù)句意，其答案應(yīng)為“找出；查出"；比

較四個選項的意義和用法即可確定正確答案。lookfor“尋找”，主要指“過程”；find“發(fā)

現(xiàn)；找到”，主要指“結(jié)果”；discover"發(fā)現(xiàn)”,有時可與find換用，但discover強調(diào)“發(fā)

現(xiàn)某種本來存在而此前未被發(fā)現(xiàn)的東西,或未為人所知的東西，尤指第一次或科學(xué)性的發(fā)現(xiàn)”。

Gilbertdiscoveredelectricity.吉爾伯特發(fā)現(xiàn)了電。findout表示經(jīng)過打聽、調(diào)查、詢問后“弄清

楚、查明、發(fā)現(xiàn)”，常指隱藏?zé)o形的東西，如“道理、意義、罪惡、秘密”等。其后接n.

/pron./that/wh-clause/wh-word+todoo

Ihaven'tbeenabletofindoutwhobrokethewindow.

我無法弄清楚是誰把窗戶打破了。

4.Dorothywasalwaysspeakinghighlyofherroleintheplay,，ofcourse,madethe

othersunhappy.

A.whoB.which

C.thisD.what

答案:B

解析：本題考查非限制性定語從句。根據(jù)句意“Dorothy老是講自己在戲中的角色作用，

這當然使得其他演員不高興”，C、D兩項不可引導(dǎo)定語從句，可先排除，who,which都可

引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，而句中ofcourse這一插入語又是干擾項，學(xué)生極易錯選A,要知道

使其他演員不高興的不是Dorothy這個人，而是Dorothy所說的話。因此，只有B項which符

合題意。

5.Itwasinthehouseheusedtolivetheexhibitionwasheld.

A.where;where

B.that;that

C.where;that

D.that;where

答案：C

蔡析：要解答這道題必須弄清整個句子的意思和結(jié)構(gòu)，句意為“是在他過去常住的那間

房子里舉行的這次展覽”；再經(jīng)分析可知其句子結(jié)構(gòu)：這是含有一個定語從句的強調(diào)句型，

先行詞thehouse在定語從句中作地點狀語，應(yīng)用where引導(dǎo)定語從句，強調(diào)句型中要用that。

6.Thecomputercentre,lastyear,isverypopularamongthestudentsinthisschool.

A.open

B.opening

C.havingopened

D?opened

答案：

施析：D本題譯為“去年開放的計算機中心在該校學(xué)生中很受歡迎”。題中空白處應(yīng)為過

去分詞opened,它構(gòu)成過去分詞短語作定語，相當于一個定語從句whichwasopenedlastyear。

7.（西城4月），weweretakentoseethelibrary.

A.Wehadbeenshowntheclassrooms

B.Beingshowntheclassrooms

C.Havingbeenshowntheclassrooms

D.Havingshowntheclassrooms

答案：C

解析：句意：我們先被領(lǐng)著參觀教室，又被帶去參觀圖書館。首先，句子主語與Show

之間構(gòu)成被動關(guān)系，因此可排除D項；A項為句子，需要加連詞連接兩個分句；B項相當于

Whilewewerebeingshowntheclassrooms,顯然與后面的句子在時間上有沖突，故只有C項

正確。

8.IlikeJohn,butIdon'tfindhimphysically.

A.pleasedB.pleasant

C.attractionD.attractive

答案：

施析：題D意：我喜歡約翰，不過我認為他長得并不英俊。

9.Heorderedseveral,suchasaradioandairconditioningonhisnewcar.

A.extrasB.instruments

C.furnituresD.matters

答案：A

解析：題意：他還為新汽車訂購了幾樣?xùn)|西：收音機和空氣調(diào)節(jié)器。

10.Wehavebeengoodfriendsformanyyears,andnothingcanourfriendship.

A.breakupB.breakback

C.getridofD.smoothaway

分享■

I=I?RA

解析：breakup表示“（使）……結(jié)束"；breakback”［體］突然反向行進擾亂對方防御”；

getridof"擺脫；除去"；smoothaway"排除困難；沒有困難”。

do,andevenhowwefeel.

C.ishappenedD.happens

答案：D

解析：句意：假如他出了事，我不知道該怎么辦。happen,occur,takeplace都是不及物動

詞，不能用被動結(jié)構(gòu)。happen多指偶然、突發(fā)事件的發(fā)生；happentosb.指不幸的事突然發(fā)生

5.Aftertheeruptionofvolcano,whatmakestheskyturndark?

A.Thesmoke.B.Theclouds.

C.Thefog.D.Theash.

答案：D

解析：細節(jié)理解題。從第六段倒數(shù)第二句"Anashcloudhidthesunformanyhours."可

知，火山爆發(fā)之后，“灰塵”使得天空變暗。

6.Theunderlinedword"it"means.

A.thebodyofoldHarry

B.thelocationofHarry'shome

C.theopeningontopofMtStHelens

D.theplacewhereHarryprobablydied

答案：B

解析：詞義猜測題。倒數(shù)第二段^ButHarryTrumanwouldnotleavehishome.接下來文

章說“Nowitiscoveredwithmanyfeetofdirtyash.”,因此it在這里指Harry'shome。

7.Wecaninferfromthisarticlethat.

A.WashingtonandOregonareneightboringstates

B.ColoradoRiverrunsthroughYosemiteValley

C.theeruptionofMtStHelensalsocausedtroublewiththeYellowstonePark

D.scientistsneverknewMtStHelenswasactive

答案：A

解析：推理判斷題。當華盛頓州的圣勞倫斯火山爆發(fā)時，uTownsanfieldsinWashington,

Oregon,andIdahowerecoveredwithdirtygrayash."由此我們可推斷Washington,Oregon以及

Idaho是三個相鄰的州。
