Unit 3 Amazing people一、阅读理解。As my husband，Doug，stood on the busy New York city street trying to stop a cab, I angled the stroller(婴儿车)away from the cold December wind and rain.I knelt down and kissed my daughter on her cheek where veins crept up(静脉突出)the side of her tiny face.Frustrated and wet，my husband gave up his attempt to flag down a cab.I knew the feeling.Just after her first birthday，our daughter Katie was diagnosed with a rare brain disorder.Since that moment，Doug and I felt like runners in a marathon race where the finish line kept disappearing.We knew Katie was running out of time.It had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder，vein of Galen malformation，but we were told only a handful of specialists in the world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries.Now，as we finally found a brilliant doctor to save our girl，we were trapped in a strange city in the cold rain.Just at the moment，a middleaged woman pulled over and said，“Pardon me？May I offer you a ride？”Before we could say anything，she continued，“Its really no trouble for me.Just get on.”It was then that I noticed her thick Irish tongue，an accent that warmed me like hot soup.We could simply say，“Thanks！Roosevelt Hospital，please，” and settled in her car for the ride.I dont know how she knew，maybe she noticed the veins and asked，“Are you going for the baby？”I nodded my head，choking back a tiny sob.At the hospital we thanked her a dozen times for the ride.The woman hugged me and I noticed her face was wet with tears in worry.She promised to pray for us before she left.After three more visits to New York and two more brain surgeries，Katie is cured.But the voice of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant reminder of a tiny ray of light that appeared on our darkest days.1What were the family doing on the street?AWatching a marathon race.BProtecting their daughter from cold.CTrying to ride a taxi.DPlaying with their daughter.2What was the trouble with Katies illness?AIt was a terrible brain cancer.BIt was impossible to be cured.CIt was hard to name the disease.DIts surgeries were hard to perform.3Why was the woman driver in tears when leaving?ABecause she knew the girl had run out of time.BBecause she had sympathy for the familys misfortune.CBecause the family promised to pray for her.DBecause there were veins on the little girls face.4Whats the best title for this passage?AAn Irish Angel in New YorkBAn Adventure in New YorkCAn Angel of Roosevelt HospitalDAn Unforgettable Cab Ride【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿患了一种罕见的脑紊乱，可世上能做这种精准手术的医生屈指可数。作者一家来到纽约求医，却在雨天打不到出租车。后来在一名素不相识的带有爱尔兰口音的好心人的帮助下赶到了医院。最终经过几次手术女儿康复了。长难句分析：It had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder, vein of Galen malformation，but we were told only a handful of specialists in the world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries.(第二段倒数第二句)译文：过了几个月我们才最终得知这个病的名字是Galen静脉畸形，但是世上能够具备做这种精准手术资历的医生屈指可数。词汇积累：frustrated adj.沮丧的，绝望的precise adj.精准的 a handful of一小部分，少量的1C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“trying to stop a cab”及第二段第一句“Frustrated and wet，my husband gave up his attempt to flag down a cab.”可知，他们在街头努力打一辆出租车。故选C。2D细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“but we were told only a handful of specialists in the world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries”可知，治疗Katie的病的手术很难做。故选D。3B推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二、三句“The woman hugged me and I noticed her face was wet with tears in worry.She promised to pray for us before she left.”可推知，这位女司机了解了孩子的病情后，对这一家人的不幸遭遇表示同情。故选B。4A标题概括题。纵观全文，从开头描写在纽约街头作者一家拦车无果到最后孩子的得救，中间的一个核心人物就是素不相识的爱尔兰女人。在作者夫妇眼中，这个女人就是他们的天使。故“纽约的爱尔兰天使”符合题意。故选A。二、单项填空1.Little children ask endless questions because they are _ about everything.A. skepticalB. awareC. capableD. curious【答案】D2.Nowadays teenagers are not _ to stand and appreciate works of art; they prefer to participate in them.A. content B. optimisticC. confident D. outgoing【答案】A【解析】content满足的，满意的，符合句意。optimistic乐观的，抱有乐观看法的；confident自信的；outgoing 爱交际的，友好的，外向的。句意：如今，青少年不满足于只是站着欣赏艺术作品；他们更喜欢参与到艺术作品中。3.As is known to us all, failure usually _ laziness while diligence can _ success.A. results from, lie inB. results in, result fromC. leads, lie inD. results from, result in【答案】D【解析】result from因而发生，后接原因；lie in存在于，后接原因；result in 产生，后接结果；lead to导致，后接结果。失败是因为懒惰，而勤奋则导致成功，故选D项。4.Many university graduates _ to work in first-tier cities, which are attractive to them.A. inspire B. desireC. risk D. arrange【答案】B【解析】desire to do sth.渴望做某事。inspire常用于 inspire sb. to do sth.; risk 后接动名词。句意：许多大学毕业生渴望到一线城市工作，这些城市对他们很有吸引力。5.When reading English novels, I often _ idiomatic expressions that I cant understand.
