unit3名师点津（新人教版必修四）
ⅰ. 单项填空
1. —do you let your kids travel alone at night?
— ________！
a. forget it b. go ahead
c. absolutely not d. at any time
解析：选c。forget it表示拒绝别人的请求，go ahead表示同意别人的请求，at any time表示在任何时间(都可以)。选项a、b、d均为答非所问。“absolutely not”表示决不同意，符合题意。
2. those who are not ________ with the progress they have made will work harder.
a. proud b. afraid
c. popular d. content
解析：选d。本题考查be content with的用法，be proud of“以……为豪”，be afraid of“怕……”，be popular with“受……欢迎”。句意：那些不满意自己的进步的人，会更努力工作。
3. —you are late again，tom?
—sorry，but i got ________a heavy traffic jam.
a. caught in b. taken in c. put off d. held by
解析：选a。be/get caught in是固定搭配，指“突然碰上；突然遭受”，多用于被动结构。
4. as a film star she was a success，but as a wife she was ________failure，so their marriage ended in ________failure.
a. 不填；不填 b. 不填；a c. a；a d. a；不填
解析：选d。failure表示“失败的人或事”时，是可数名词；表示“失败”时，是不可数名词。第一空指“失败者”，所以用a；第二空指“以失败告终”，所以不加冠词。
5. our teacher looked here and there on our playground ________looking for something.
a. even though b. even if
c. as if d. only if
解析：选c。根据前面的looked here and there判断，我们的老师“好像”在找东西，所以用as if。
6. —i’m green at everything.
—don’t worry. ________you get older，you will get more experience.
a. as b. till c. unless d. since
解析：选a。句意：随着年龄的增长，你会获得更多经验。
7. in a sports team each player has a clear role，and there are few occasions ________members are confused or uncertain about their roles.
a. whose b. that c. when d. which
解析：选c。考查定语从句。when引导的定语从句修饰occasions。occasion意为“时刻，……的时候”，关系副词在定语从句中作时间状语。
8. mr. brown thought it would be a good idea to have ________from his workers to improve his plan.
a. summaries b. admissions
c. comments d. connections
解析：选c。考查名词辨析。comment评论，议论，意见。句意：brown先生认为，为了改善自己的计划，听听工人们的意见会是一个不错的主意。summary“总结，概要”；admission“承认，允许进入”；connection“连接(处)，关系”。
9. besides television，the internet is now another major way of communication ________us to see as well as to hear the performer.
a. permitted b. having permitted
c. being permitted d. permitting
解析：选d。考查非谓语动词。way与permit之间构成逻辑上的主动关系，故用permitting作定语。
10. you may feel it ________that such a little girl can speak three foreign languages fluently in this small town.
a. surprising b. surprised
c. to surprise d. being surprised
解析：选a。考查非谓语动词。此句中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是that引导的从句，surprising作宾语补足语，表示这件事情“令人惊奇的”。surprised(人)感到惊奇的。
ⅱ. 完形填空

ⅲ. 阅读理解
a
it was molly’s job to hand her father his brown paper lunch bag each morning before he headed off to work.
one morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, molly handed him a second paper bag. this one was worn and held together with staples(书钉).
“why two bags？”her father asked. “the other is something else，”molly answered. “what’s in it？”“just some stuff (东西). take it with you. ”
not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed molly and rushed off. at midday he opened molly’s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons (丝带), three small stones, a plastic dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies. . . . the busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept the desk clean into the wastebasket, molly’s stuff included.
that evening, molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. “where’s my bag？”“what bag？”“the one i gave you this morning. ”“i left it at the office, my dear. ”“i forgot to put this note in it，”she said. “and, besides, daddy, the things in the sack are the things i really like. i thought you might like to play with them. you didn’t lose the bag, did you, daddy？”“oh, no，”he said, lying. “i just forgot to bring it home. i’ll bring it tomorrow. ”while molly hugged her father’s neck, he unfolded the note that read. “i love you, daddy. ”molly had given him her treasures—all that a 7yearold held dear.
love was in a paper bag, and he missed it—not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. so he went back to the office. just ahead of the night janitor(看门人)，he picked up the bag from the wastebasket. he put the treasures inside and carried it home carefully. the bag didn’t look so good, but the stuff was all there and that’s what counted.
after dinner, he asked molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. it took a long time to tell.
everything had a story or a memory.
“sometimes i think of all the great times in this sweet life，”he thought. we should all remember that it’s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. that journey with the people we love is all that really matters. it is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten.
1. why did molly give her father a second bag?
a. she didn’t want to keep the things in the bag.
b. she hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
c. she wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.
d. she enjoyed playing with her father.
解析：选b。根据文章第五段可知，小女孩以为自己喜欢的那些东西，父亲一定也喜欢，并会给他带来快乐。因此b项正确。
2. how did father deal with the bag after he opened it?
a. he kept it in the drawer.
b. he took it back home.
c. he threw it into the wastebasket.
d. he put it on his table.
解析：选c。根据第四段最后一句可知，父亲将女儿的东西丢进了废纸篓。
3. after father heard what his daughter said, he felt ________.
a. regretful b. surprised
c. sad d. satisfied
解析：选a。由第六段可知，父亲很后悔自己轻率的行为。
4. which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage?
a. an important journey b. two bags
c. father and daughter d. love in a paper bag
解析：选d。小女孩将自己心爱的东西装在纸袋里，希望它能给父亲带来快乐，其实她是将自己对父亲的爱装在纸袋里面了。因此d项正确。

(XX年成都外国语学校4月模拟)stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
the seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind. success is a choice but not a chance. you can be a success if only you make the right choice.
you cannot be successful without first developing your selfesteem(自尊). your level of selfesteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. people with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. they are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
you can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life. failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people realize that they are responsible.
everything happens as a result of something. if we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. we are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe. thoughts and beliefs cause everything. our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time. one generally rises to the level that one expects. we are responsible for setting our expectations. our success depends upon our level of confidence. we are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
if you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. on the contrary, the opposite happens. we are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing(培育) the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
in short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
5. losers would think that ________.
a. success is the result of hard work
b. working hard will lead to success
c. they fail only because of bad luck
d. they don’t make efforts to succeed
解析：选c。推理判断题。根据文章的第四段可知，失败者总是认为事情的发生都是偶然的，因此他们会把自己的失败归因于时运不济。
6. it can be inferred from paragraph 5 that ________.
a. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes
b. developing confidence is the key to future success
c. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
d. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
解析：选a。推理判断题。第五段讲述成功的秘诀：人们的思想和信念决定一切。走向成功需要对自己充满期望和自信。
7. the last paragraph serves as ________.
a. the proof of the author’s point
b. the conclusion of the argument
c. an introduction to another topic
d. a comparison between two views
解析：选b。最后一段开头的短语in short暗示本段为文章的结论部分。
8. which is the best title of the text?
a. success is a choice b. the secrets of success
c. develop our confidence d. how to achieve success
解析：选a。主旨大意题。本文围绕一个中心来写“成功是你我的选择”

答案：benefits
6.she usually ________(结合)creative imagination with intelligence to create some wonders.
答案：combines
ⅱ.易错模块
1. ________two exams to worry about，i have to work really hard this weekend.
a.with b.besides
c.as for d.because of
解析：选a。前句说明主语i在本周末必须努力学习的原因，相当于because i have two exams to worry about，故可用“with＋复合宾语”结构。besides“还有”，其后接名词、代词作宾语；as for“关于，就……而言”；because of“因为”。它们都不能与句子结构搭配。
2.john received an invitation to dinner，and with his work ________，he gladly accepted it.
a.finished b.finishing
c.having finished d.was finished
解析：选a。本题考查with的复合结构，表原因，“由于工作完成了，john愉快地接受了邀请”。用过去分词finished表被动。
3.i couldn’t do my homework with all those noise ________.
a.going on b.goes on
c.went on d.to go on
解析：选a。本题考查“with＋宾语＋补语”结构作伴随状语。空格处为补语成分，故排除b、c选项。虽然a、d两项都可以作补语，但两者所表示的时间不同，a项中的going on表示正在进行，而d项中to go on表示将来的动作，又因为是作伴随状语，故a项正确。
4.(XX年高考福建卷)you have no idea how she finished the relay race ________her foot wounded so much.
a.for b.when
c.with d.while
解析：选c。句意：你根本就无法体会，在脚伤得那么厉害的情况下她是怎样完成接力比赛的。这里是一个with＋n./pron.＋done/adj.的复合结构。要注意her foot wounded so much不是一个完整句子，所以不能用连词when，while，for引导。
5.(XX年高考上海卷)if there’s a lot of work ________，i’m happy to just keep on until it is finished.
a.to do b.to be doing
c.done d.doing
解析：选a。句意：如果有很多工作要做的话，我会很高兴能留下来直到工作结束。to do可用来作a lot of work的定语，表将来。
ⅲ.情景交际
1.(XX年高考福建卷)—bruce，i really appreciate your handwriting.
— ________.
a.i practise every day
b.thank you very much
c.no，i don’t think so
d.well，it’s not good enough
解析：选b。句意：—布鲁斯，我真的很欣赏你的书法。—非常感谢。根据英语习惯，如果对方表扬你，你应该表示谢意。故答案为b项。a、c、d三项不符合英语表达习惯。
2.(XX年高考福建卷)—your mum is very kind.
—yeah. my mum is pretty considerate，you know what______，she always arranges everything around me.
a.she means b.you mean
c.i mean d.we mean
解析：选c。句意：—你妈妈真好。—是的。我妈妈对人体贴入微。我想你明白我的意思—她总是把我身边所有的事情安排得很妥当。英语中，当说话者认为对方明白自己时，可以说“you know what i mean.”
3.(XX年高考浙江卷)—hey, you haven’t been acting like yourself.everything ok?
— ________.
a.i’m fine，thanks b.sure，it is
c.that’s good d.it’s ok
解析：选a。句意：—嘿！你今天表现很反常，没事吧？—没事，谢谢。
4.(XX年高考宁夏•海南，全国卷ⅰ)—it looks heavy. can i give you a hand?
— ________.
a.no，thanks b.yes，my pleasure
c.no，never mind d.yes，i do
解析：选a。句意：—它看起来很重。需要我帮忙吗？—不用，谢谢了。“can i give you a hand？”常用来表示提供帮助，回答时，应从礼貌出发，在拒绝的同时还应对对方的好意表示感谢，因此选a。当对方为你的帮忙表示感谢时，你需回答my pleasure(别客气)，而b项my pleasure前又含yes，没有这种形式；c项用来回答别人道歉或安慰别人；d项用于回答喜不喜欢，做不做某事。如：—do you like swimming？—yes，i do.
ⅳ.语法专练
本单元语法——情态动词(ⅱ)
1.although this ________sound like a simple task，great care is needed.
a.must b.may
c.shall d.should
解析：选b。考查情态动词。句意：虽然这也许听起来是一项很简单的任务，但是需要非常小心。前半句中的although引导让步状语从句，由此可判断b项正确。
2.—what do you think we can do for our aged parents?
—you ________do anything except to be with them and be yourself.
a.don’t have to b.oughtn’t to
c.mustn’t d.can’t
解析：选a。本题考查情态动词的常见用法。句意：—你认为我们可以为年迈的父母做些什么事呢？—你不必做任何事情，只要能真心地陪伴他们(他们就很满足了)。don’t have to＝needn’t 不必；oughtn’t to不应该；mustn’t不可以，禁止；can’t不能。
3.—guess what！i have got a for my term paper.
—great！you ________read widely and put a lot of work into it.
a.must b.should
c.must have d.should have
解析：选c。句意：—猜猜有什么好消息！我的学期论文得了a。—真棒！你一定是博览群书并在此文上投入了很大精力。情态动词的用法是历年高考考点，从对话中可以看出此处应该是对过去动作的推测，should或must加动词原形表示对现在或将来的推测，应被排除；should have done(过去本应该做而未做某事)表虚拟或吃惊语气，与语境不符，也被排除；must have done表示对过去发生事情的肯定推测，符合题意，故选c。
4.(XX年山西大同学情调研)—i think i’ll give bob a ring.
—you ________.you haven’t been in touch with him for a long time.
a.should b.will
c.may d.have to
解析：选a。考查情态动词。答语的后一句中提到“你很久没有与他联系了”，由此可知对方认为说话人“应该”给bob打一个电话。
5.—listen！someone is knocking at the door.
—it ________be mary；she has just left for guangzhou.
a.mustn’t b.can’t
c.needn’t d.may not
解析：选b。考查情态动词。由she has just left for guangzhou可知，此处表示“不可能是mary”，只能用can’t。must 表示推测，通常用于肯定句，意为“一定，准是”；needn’t表示“不需要，没有必要”；may not表示推测，意为“或许不是”

a.help yourself b.it’s up to you

解析：选c。考查交际用语。behave yourself 好好的，听话，规矩点(对孩子等的用语)。help yourself请随便(吃、用等)；it’s up to you由你决定；go ahead行，可以，往下说、问等。
4.the football player had ________gift for football when he was a child. now he is ________second to none in the football field.
a.the；the b.the；a
c.a；the d.a；不填

7.—are you worried about the result of the exam?
—only ________.
a.absolutely b.approximately

a.more closely to b.much closer
c.rather closer to d.quite closely to
解析：选c。close和closely都可用作副词，但意思不一样。close意为“靠近，接近”，常与介词to连用；closely表示抽象意义，意为“密切地，仔细地”。根据句意排除a、d项，故选c。
ⅱ.阅读理解

(XX届英语周报第2期)martin frobisher, born in yorkshire，went to london as a boy to be educated by a relative. he showed no talent for book learning，so his relative sent him to sea. before reaching manhood, frobisher had been on two voyages to the guinea coast. on the second he was captured and handed over to the portuguese garrisoning(驻守) sao jorge da mina(now elmina, ghana)，who allowed him to return to england.
by the 1570s，england had largely abandoned hope of finding a northeast passage to asia, and thoughts turned to the northwest. frobisher worked together with michael lok, a man of some wealth and learning. frobisher’s first voyage, in 1576，took him to frobisher bay in baffin island.
english investors(投资者)，including queen elizabeth, poured money into lok’s company of cathay. frobisher sailed again in 1577, this time to ship home what he mistakenly thought was goldbearing minerals.lok still felt hopeful and sent frobisher back in 1578. this time the mariner discovered the hudson strait. he followed the strait for nearly 200 miles, believing it to be a more promising northwest passage than frobisher bay. he brought home more dirt and rocks, but english confidence had gone；lok went to a debtors’ prison and frobisher sought other employment.
frobisher accompanied sir francis drake to the west indies in 1585－1586.when philip ⅱ’s spanish armada(无敌舰队)entered the english channel in 1588, frobisher’s part in the fighting was successful and he received knighthood(爵士爵位).he died of a wound received near brest，where he had been sent to relieve the siege(解除包围).he lived just long enough to be taken back to plymouth.
【解题导语】 本文记叙了英国著名探险家martin frobisher，他发现了加拿大的哈得孙海峡。
1.the underlined word“abandoned”in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by ________.
a.kept alive b.given up
c.seen d.shared
解析：选b。词义猜测题。根据本句的thoughts turned to the northwest可知，当时英国人基本放弃了东北通道的探寻，把目光投向了西北通道，故选b项。
2.from paragraph 3 we learn that frobisher at first ________.
a.brought gold to england
b.discovered a northeast passage
c.received strong support
d.had been put into prison
解析：选c。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句的including queen elizabeth和poured money 可知，frobisher 当时得到了很大的支持，故选c项。
3.according to the passage, frobisher died in ________
a.frobisher bay b.the west indies
c.brest d.plymouth
解析：选d。细节理解题。根据文章最后一句he lived just long enough to be taken back to plymouth可知，frobisher是被送回普利茅斯以后去世的，故选d。
4.which of the following shows the right order of the events relating to frobisher?
a.he arrived in baffin island.
b.he voyaged to the guinea coast.
c.he went to the west indies.
d.he discovered the hudson strait.
a.b，a，d，c b.b，c，d，a
c.a，d，c，b d.a，b，c，d

b
what would you think if i told you i could eat 40 percent more food than other people—eating boxes of ice cream, bowls of noodles and plates of meat—all while losing weight?
you might hate me, thinking i have one of those annoyingly good metabolisms(新陈代谢)that just burn up fat the instant it enters my body. you might wonder if i have an intestinal(肠的)worm, or perhaps an eating disorder. or maybe you’d just shrug your shoulders and figure i have a rich fantasy life.
you’d be wrong.
for my body to finish such a surprising task, i would have to be a mouse. not just any mouse, but one lucky enough to be involved in a new study at baylor college of medicine in houston.
after identifying an enzyme(酶)that allows fat to be stored in the body, scientists fed mice without those enzymes, and found those mice were able to consume far more food than other mice—and still weigh 10 to 15 percent less.
best of all, the mice that had no enzymes were in very good health, producing baby mice with no problem and generally acting like any other mouse. that’s great news for obesity researchers, who think that scientists may figure out a way to prevent the fatmetabolizing(脂肪代谢)enzyme in humans and control weight gain. and such a pill would be very exciting for many struggling to get rid of dangerous extra pounds.
but don’t start planning any big dinner just yet: at this point, of course, any pill for humans is but a twinkle(闪烁) in the eye of every medicine company’s ceo. more tests are to be made, and eventually humans will be introduced in the test.
but for now，unfortunately，control in diet is still the key.

2. (XX年江苏常州教学质量调研)there is a new problem involved in the popularity of private cars ________road conditions need ________.
a. that; to be improved b. which; to be improved
c. where；improving d. when；improving

a. that；which b. whether；that
c. whether；what d. that；where

3. jim’s father didn’t ________him to join the school football team，which made him angry.

解析：选c。句意：对于那些总是抱怨他们的不幸的人我没有耐心。devotion热爱；belief信任；patience耐心，忍耐；balance平衡，天平。

a. to be surrounded；which
b. surrounded；who
c. be surrounded；who
d. having been surrounded；which

— ________，it hardly ever rains；the climate is like that of a desert.
a. what’s more b. in other words

解析：选c。on the contrary意为“相反地”。
9. it’s wise of you to ________your father’s advice when you come to any difficulty.
a. ask b. seek
c. try d. attempt

10. when the man was trying to break into the bank，he was caught by the police ________.
a. in a spot b. on the spot
c. off the spot d. to the spot
解析：选b。本题考查spot 短语的用法。句意：当那个人试图闯入银行时，他被警察当场抓获了。on the spot 在现场，当场，与本句的语境一致；in a spot陷入困境；off the spot 不准确，离题；而d项是一个不存在的结构。

simply sitting and watching birds is a popular hobby around the world. it’s fun and relaxing at the same time.
many people quite enjoy just watching the birds in their garden, yard, trees and bushes from their front window. and it’s even better to actually go out into the wild and watch the birds in their own natural habitats.
natural habitat of course usually means going into the woods, or to remote areas. so before going on a bird watching outing, be sure you’ve prepared a little. first and foremost, be sure you’re wearing the appropriate clothes for both the location you’ll be visiting, and the climate that area is currently experiencing.
if you live in a warm desert area，for instance，and you plan to go up a mountain for a day of bird watching, you’ll want to first find out if there’s any snow on the mountain，or whether it’s cold during the daylight hours.
you’ll of course also want to be sure you have some food or snacks, and plenty of water.
besides, binoculars are almost a requirement for bird watching too. they allow you to get a closeup view of any birds，nests，and chicks. many bird lovers also enjoy having a pen or pencil, and a notebook on hand so they can take notes about the birds they’ve seen，or sketch them as they’re watching.
and of course if you like pictures，you’ll want to bring along a camera.
last but not least, it would be helpful to have some sort of bird identification reference available. whether you can take it with you into the woods，or you have it hanging at home，it is always quite useful in the long term.
【解题导语】 你喜欢到野外观鸟吗？观鸟之前你要做好充分的准备！
4. while watching birds in their natural habitats, you should do the following except ________.
a. make sure you’ve got enough food
b. bring enough water
c. wear suitable clothes
d. always take the bird identification reference with you
解析：选d。细节判断题。由文章最后一段可知，准备一份鸟类识别参考资料是有帮助的，可以带在身上，也可以挂在家里，外出观鸟不一定必须带在身上。
5. the underlined part“binoculars”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to ________.
a. a pair of special glasses b. foods
c. tools for catching birds d. high spirits
解析：选a。词义猜测题。由后文中的they allow you to get a closeup view of any birds，nests，and chicks. 可以推断，binoculars指的是一种可以让人近距离观察鸟的仪器，所以选a。
6. which of the following is true according to the passage?
a. many birds like to stay on the mountains when it snows.
b. many people find that watching birds in the yard is boring.
c. using cameras while watching birds will scare birds away.
d. a bird watching outing is different from watching birds from the window.
解析：选d。推理判断题。由文章第二段可知，在野外观鸟比在家里和花园里观鸟要好很多，由此可以推断两者是不同的。
7. what’s the best title for the passage?
a. wild bird watching tips
b. a popular hobby
c. watching birds in the garden
d. natural habitat
解析：选a。主旨大意题。本文主要告诉读者到野外观鸟的一些注意事项。b项过于笼统；c项与文章主题相反；d项只是对文章的部分内容的概括。
