Unit6AtonewithnatureⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了希拉里的父亲创造了一个全新的词汇,希拉里在父亲去世后努力使这个词汇进入《韦氏词典》的故事。1.C推理判断题。根据第二段的“Helookedkindofembarrassed,andsaidhehadmadeupthisword...beenusingitallthetime.”可知,这个词可以解释果汁喷到眼睛里的具体场景,而且父亲一直在用orbisculate这个词,说明这个词很实用。故选C项。2.B推理判断题。根据第四段可知,本段讲述了如何才能把一个新词添加到《韦氏词典》中,即讲述了希拉里想把父亲创造的词纳入《韦氏词典》这件事的背景。3.D推理判断题。根据第五段的“Shebuiltawebsiteandencouragedpeopletousethewordpubliclyenough.”可知,希拉里建立网站是为了让人们多使用这个词汇,因为上文提到只有足够多的使用量才能使这个词被官方认可,推断出希拉里建立网站的最终目的是为了使这个词获得官方认可。4.A主旨大意题。根据第一段的“OnedayHilaryKriegerwassitting...sherecalls.”和最后一段的“Eveniftheworddoesn’tmakeitintothedictionary,Hilaryfeelsherefforttogetherfather’swordintothedictionary...”可知,全文围绕着希拉里和父亲经常使用orbisculated这个他独创的词汇及她在父亲去世后为了使orbisculated这个词进入《韦氏词典》而做出的努力,推断出全文是围绕orbisculated这个词展开的,A项“警告:这种水果汁会喷入你的眼睛里”,可作为本文的标题。故选A项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章主要以三个单词为例说明英语中有很多单词的意思和以前不一样。5.A细节理解题。根据文章内容可知,第二段至第四段分别以“nice”“sad”和“awful”三个单词为例说明单词含义发生了改变。故选A项。6.C细节理解题。根据第二段的“Lateroninthe13thcentury,‘nice’cametomean‘shy’,andduringthe14thcentury,itevenmeant‘beingcareful’.”可知,“nice”在14世纪时表示“小心”。故选C项。7.B细节理解题。根据第三段的“Backinthe1300s,itwastheperfectwordifyou’deatentoomuchfoodatdinner.”可知,在14世纪时,如果你晚饭吃得太多,可以使用“sad”这个单词。8.A主旨大意题。根据文章内容,结合第一段的“TheEnglishlanguageisconstantlyevolving,andthereareagreatnumberofwordsouttherethatdon’tmeanwhattheyusedto.”可知,文章主要以三个单词为例说明英语中有很多单词的意思和以前不一样,A项“与原来意思不同的单词”适合作为文章标题,故选A项。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在上小学的时候,怀特老师没有及时地纠正作者班上同学的拼写错误,是不想扼杀他们学习使用单词的热情,也不想用红字给他们施加压力,从而让他们更自信地去学习的故事。1.B根据上文“Thereweremanymistakesinmywritings.”,以及下文“Instead,alwaysastar.”可推知,此处为但是没有红色的修正。2.A根据上文提到的文章中有许多错误,没有红色的修正,相反,永远是星星。以及该句中的even可推知,此处为有时甚至是一个“好”。3.C根据该句中的But以及下文“ShewantedtofigureoutwhyMrs.White...”可推知,此处为但这让“我”母亲很担心。4.D根据上文提到的“我”母亲很担心,以及该句中的“Shewantedtofigureoutwhy”和“spellingorgrammaticalerrors”可推知,此处为她想弄清楚为什么怀特老师从不指出拼写或语法错误。5.C根据下文“Idon’twanttothatenthusiasm”可知,此处为孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋。故选C项。
6.A根据上文提到的孩子们刚刚开始对使用单词和造句感到兴奋,以及该句中的“orputanypressureonthemwithredink”可知,此处为“我”不想扼杀这种热情,也不想用红色的字给他们施加压力。7.D根据句意以及该句中的“Spellingandgrammarcanwait”和but可推知,此处为拼写和语法可以等,但文字的奇迹不会。8.B根据句意以及下文“Butwhat’sforsureisthat...”可知应选B项。9.D根据句意以及该句中的“Butwhat’sforsure”和“Igrewuplearningtousewords”可推知,此处为但可以肯定的是,“我”从小就从她那里充满信心地学习使用单词。故选D项。10.A根据该句中的“Iprobablywouldn’tbetellingyouaboutthisnow”可知,此处为“我”突然想到,如果怀特老师把她的红笔用得更准确一些,“我”现在可能就不会告诉你这件事了。故选A项。11.C根据该句中的“toexercise‘red-pen-restriction’”以及下文“Sheallowedthejoy,wonderandexcitementofexpressiontocomeout.”她让喜悦、惊奇和激动的表情流露出来可推知,此处为“我”觉得她是一位非常出色的老师——行使“红笔限制”。1
