Module 3
Ⅰ.語法填空,單句訓練
1.The boss wanted an assistant with ________ knowledge of French and ________ work experience.
答案:a;不填 knowledge指具有對某一具體事物或具體學科的知識時,應與不定冠詞連用,a knowledge of意為“具有……的知識”,所以第一個空應選a;根據(jù)句意判斷第二個空后面的work experience意為“工作經(jīng)驗”,experience不可數(shù),所以不填。
2.(2024·廈門高三月考改編)The flood this summer caused serious ________ to the crops in Northeast China.
答案:damage damage表示“損失”,符合句意。
3.(2024·濟南歷城五中高三檢測改編)She rushed out, ________(leave) the book ________(lie) open on the table and disappeared in the distance.
答案:leaving; lying 該句用到了“l(fā)eave+賓語+補語”結(jié)構(gòu),表示“使某人或某物處于某種狀態(tài)”。第一個空應用leaving表示結(jié)果;book與lie之間為主動關系,所以第二個空應用lying open作補語。
4.(2024·天津河西區(qū)質(zhì)量調(diào)查改編)Don't you think it is high time you ________(bury) yourself in your books?
答案:buried 句意:你不認為該專心讀書了嗎?bury oneself in“埋頭于,專心于”;It is (high) time sb. did sth.“到了某人該做某事的時候了”。
5.We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it ________ to us that we were rather big to be up in a tree.
答案:occurred it occurred to sb. that...意為“某人突然想到……”。
6.You'd better stop complaining again and again. Otherwise, you'll ________ quarreling with Rose again.
答案:end 根據(jù)stop complaining和otherwise這個轉(zhuǎn)折詞可知“最終會吵起來”。end up意為“最終”,符合句意。
7.(2024·沈陽高三一模改編)If you keep driving so fast, you'll end________ in hospital sooner or later.
答案:up 句意:如果你開車老是這么快的話,你遲早會進醫(yī)院的。end up“終究,總歸,結(jié)束,結(jié)局”,符合句意。
8.(2024·天津和平區(qū)質(zhì)量調(diào)查改編)After the earthquake the electricity supply failed, ________(make) the cooling system break down.
答案:making 句意:地震過后,電力中斷,使得空調(diào)系統(tǒng)無法運轉(zhuǎn)。此處用現(xiàn)在分詞作結(jié)果狀語,表示一種必然的結(jié)果。
9.(2024·淄博模擬改編) I have to drive to the railway station to pick________ the experts from Shanghai.

.閱讀理解
The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis's Swamp(沼澤地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack's dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.
“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name?”
“Are you sure you want to hear it? It's a scary story,” warned Jack.
“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn't have chosen this place!”
“Ok,but don't say I didn't warn you,” said Jack, and he began his tale.
“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”
“‘Your are clearing too much land,’ warned one old man.‘The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”
“‘Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I'll become wealthier. He's just jealous!’”
“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”
“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled,twisting his body closer to the fire.
“The land hit back—just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”
“What a stupid story,” laughed Tom. “Plants can't...”Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted (暈倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright staring at Tom.Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom's face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.
語篇解讀:丹尼斯為了開擴農(nóng)場,而瘋狂砍伐樹木,最后這個地方變成了一片沼澤,丹尼斯也葬身沼澤。因此,丹尼斯沼澤也由此而來。
1.The underlined word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.courage B.a(chǎn)ssistance
C.instruction
D.challenge
答案:D 詞義推測題。根據(jù)第一段的語境,孩子們宿營的地方是一個很詭異的地方,因此他們后悔接受杰克的大膽建議,D項與語境最吻合。
2.Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?
A.To frighten them.
B.To satisfy their curiosity.
C.To warn them of the danger of the place.
D.To persuade them to camp in the swamp.
答案:B 推理判斷題。從文章第二段Martin的話“How did this place get its name?”可知,他們出于好奇想聽杰克講這個故事。
3.Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?
A.The old man envied him.
B.The old man was foolish.
C.He was too busy to listen to others.
D.He was greedy for more crops.
答案:D 推理判斷題。從文章第六段第四句“After three hard years,Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.”可知,丹尼斯為了收獲更多的莊稼而不惜破壞環(huán)境。
4.What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?
A.Grasp all, lose all.
B.No sweat,no sweet.
C.It is no use crying over spilt milk.
D.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.
答案:A 推理判斷題。分析全文可知,文章通過丹尼斯開荒種田的故事告誡我們:貪婪會讓我們付出代價,由此A項“抓住一切,會失去一切”最能傳達作者的寫作意圖。
