Unit1 Ancient Greece 单元主题阅读、完形与写作范文20篇 一、阅读理解 The mystery stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle are famous all over the world. The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards. This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes! The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, “How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan (阿富汗).” Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation (观察). Observation One Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor. Observation Two Watson’s face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. Observation Three At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan. 1．Dr Watson watches Holmes with admiration because ________.

After having two more glasses of cordial(甜果汁饮料), Diana turned pale suddenly. “I’m sick,” she said, “I must go home.” And she left Green Gables and ran all the way home.

She soon ran back home with tears rolling down cheeks. “What has happened, Anne?” asked Marilla. “Mrs. Barry says that I sent Diana home drunk on Saturday. She says she’s never going to let Diana play with me again!” Marilla went to the cupboard and then came back to the kitchen with a bottle of wine, trying not to smile. “Anne, you gave Diana wine instead of raspberry cordial. Didn’t you know the difference?” “I never tasted it,” said Anne. “But Mrs. Barry will never believe me.

The train pulled into the station at 8:05 p.m. on time, just as the schedule required, and the excellent Dr. Twill rushed to the train exit door and jumped onto the platform with a crowd of other travelers. He was tired from his long journey on the train（伸懒腰） and yawned （打哈欠）, and decided to find a hot cup of coffee before heading out to enjoy the bright city night. His trip through the nearby county towns had been a rewarding one: with a few short explanations here, some attractive promises there, and a great deal of excitement everywhere he went, he had been able to sell a number of his electrical cures at prices which made him more money than he had expected, and returned with a much lighter truck and fatter wallet than those with which he had departed. The cures were many and various, ranging from electrical hair brushes which promised to grow more hairs on a shiny bald head and give back a youthful and good-looking appearance, to electrical belts which were designed to reduce the fat around the belly（肚子）, lose weight every hour and build strong muscles while watching TV on a sofa, even to electrical shoes, the function of which was still unclear but wonderful without questions. He had even been able to get some rather big investments（投资）in the development of his latest cure: a bottle of magic water with pure electrical energy. When someone imbibes it, the whole health would improve, including his or her physical appearance of the body and the mind from within! Moreover,  this magic water works on both humans and pets. It is so popular that many people have asked to buy it before Dr. Twill is able to produce it. There was still a small question of how he would manage to turn pure electricity into water without losing its energy—but with all the amazing equipment in his lab, Dr. Twill had all confidence that a solution would come soon enough. 28．It can be inferred from the passage that Dr. Twill makes a living by ________.

She was working, snowboarding as much as possible, feeling independent and happy. Then she developed a serious illness, bacterial meningitis (脑膜炎). At the hospital, doctors said she had a 2% chance of survival. When Amy 40 came home two and a half months later, she had lost both of her legs below the knee.      Soon Amy got her first pair of artificial (假的) legs. They were so painful and ugly. Amy wondered how she would ever be 41 again. She knew she had to figure out how to live with her new challenges. She asked herself this question: What if her life were a book, and she were the author? How would she want her story to go? The question made her start daydreaming. She 42 herself walking, helping others, and snowboarding again. Having such a dream was the first step on her new journey. Four months later, Purdy was snowboarding again — with 43 . She needed better artificial feet and legs, but she couldn’t find anything that worked. In order to live her dream, she had to be creative: she decided to design a pair of legs herself. Instead of trying to 44 what she calls the “borders” in her life, Amy pushed off them, using them to force herself to reach higher and farther. It’s a strategy(策略) that has worked very well. In 2011 and 2012, Purdy won back-to-back World Cup championships in snowboarding. And that same spring, she inspired millions with her performances on the TV show Dancing with the Stars. She made it all the way to the finals, and got a medal. 45 writing a book about her experiences, Amy has founded an organization to help others with disabilities enjoy sports.

I will then choose the next CEO.” One of the young men was Jim. He excitedly went home with his seed. Every morning, Jim would water the seed. After about six months, the other young men had all been able to grow tall plants, but there was nothing in Jim’s pot. Jim knew he had 47 his seed, but he kept watering it. A year finally went by. In George’s office, Jim was amazed at the plants the others had grown. He tried to hide in the back with his 48 pot. George arrived and praised the young men for their beautiful plants. Suddenly, he saw Jim. He asked him what had happened, and Jim told him the whole 49 . George looked at Jim and announced, “ So I’ve decided. Jim will be the next CEO!” The others were 50 —Jim couldn’t even grow his seed! George then explained, “ I had boiled the seeds before I gave them to you. It was impossible for them to grow.

Sandy never did homework. “Too boring,” he said. He played baseball and basketball 52 . His teachers told him, “Sandy! Do your homework or you won’t learn a thing.” And it’s true, sometimes he did feel like a ding-a-ling(怪人). But what could he do? He hated homework. Then on St. Patrick’s Day, his cat was playing with a little doll and he took hold of it away. It wasn’t a doll at all, but a man of the tiniest 53 . He had a little wool shirt in old fashion and a high tall hat much like a witch’s. He shouted, “Save me! Don’t give me back to that cat. I’ll grant you a wish, I promise you that.” Sandy couldn’t believe how 54 he was! Here were the answers to all of his problems. So he said, “Only if you do all my homework till the end of the term, that’s 35 days. If you do a good enough job, I could even get As.” The little man agreed, “I’ll do it.” And true to his word, that little elf began to do Sandy’s homework, except that there was one little 55 . The elf didn’t always know what to do and he needed help. “Help me! Help me!” he said. And Sandy would have to help — in whatever way. “I don’t know this word,” the elf said while reading Sandy’s homework. “Get me a dictionary. No, what’s even better, look up the word and sound it out by each letter.” When it came to math, Sandy was out of luck. “What are times tables?” the elf asked. “We elves never need that. What is addition, subtraction, division or fractions? Here, sit down beside me, you simply must 56 me.” As a matter of fact, every day Sandy was working harder than ever! Finally the last day of school arrived and the elf was free to go and Sandy got his As. His classmates were amazed; his teachers smiled and were 57 praise. And his parents?

He was a famous geologist (地质学家). He loved to go on long walks to find stones to add to his 70 at the university. We liked to follow him. One morning, we left early and this time our uncle had bought us backpacks (背包). “You can help me 71 the stones,” He explained. The whole day we walked around the countryside, and every now and then, my uncle put stones in our bags. We were a bit 72 that he also took some stones out from our bags at times. We thought he had just found better stones than the ones we already had. When we reached the houses in the late afternoon, we were tired. The backpacks were so heavy that we gave a big sigh of relief when we put them on the ground, 73 our uncle’s backpack was half-empty. “Why did you give us so many stones?” we asked. “I didn’t, you did.” he said, waiting for a while before continuing. “You didn’t know it, but I made you go through a little attitude test today. Every time you were complaining 74 , I put a stone in your bag. When you talked about something with positive (积极的) thinking, I took out a stone. And now, look at you bags.” The bags were almost full. “Your negative (消极的) thoughts are like stones. You carry them in your mind just like those stones in bags.” Our uncle 75 us one of the most important lessons in the life. The power of attitude.

Some people volunteer to make themselves feel better. Some people volunteer to help those who were   76 . However, I volunteer to thank my community. I am thankful for the help I received from others. When I was in high school, I took part in the Upward Bound Program. Through Upward Bound, I was able to gain skills and opportunities that have helped me become the man that I am today. So I now often give back to enable kids to have the same   77   at life that I have had. Volunteering is the best way to thank those who helped me on the road to success. I remember asking a counselor（顾问）when I was in Upward Bound how I could repay him. He smiled and said, "Shawn, you can help me by helping others." A sentence so simple, yet so 78 in its meaning. When I got my first volunteer position as a junior counselor at my local Boys and Girls Club, I was eager to be  a great role model for kids. But things did not work out as I thought at first. I got so 79 . By the time I was ready to 80 , the kids looked for me everywhere that day. They said they liked having   me around. My desire to give back to the community came back. Now the feeling that I can shape someone’s life for the better is amazing. So it is a good  idea  for everyone  to  find  a(an) 81 and  volunteer. In  this way, not  only will  you  be  helping others, you will be helping yourself as well. 76．A．active B．honest C．unfortunate D．helpful 77．A．chance B．courage C．decision D．stress 78．A．strange B．deep C．funny D．different 79．A．excited B．disappointed C．satisfied D．proud 80．A．turn up B．wake up C．give up D．put up 81．A．example B．cause C．excuse D．solution If you live on the streets with little food and money, what will you do with a bag filled with snacks and nearly ￡500 in cash in front of you? To most people, it would be a source of temptation(诱惑). Something that happened last month has made the actions of the homeless Roy Kaufman out of the ordinary. Roy saw a 82 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down. He stood guard in the rain for a long time waiting for the owner to 83 . Because of the coldness, he reached inside and pulled the bag out. He hoped to find some cards with its owner’s name or phone numbers so that he could 84 the driver. But he only discovered it contained some bars of chocolates and ￡435 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it. He then took it to a nearby police station after leaving a note behind to let the owner know it was 85 . When the car’s owner Mr. Anderson returned to the car, he was shocked to find two policemen standing next to it and he was told what Roy Kaufman did. Mr. Anderson was later able to thank Mr. Roy for his 86 and said, “I couldn’t believe that the man never took a penny. The man has nothing and yet he didn’t take the money for himself. He thought about others instead of himself. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 87 men out there. “ Roy Kaufman’s act drew much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson posted about the story on Facebook. Now Mr. Anderson has set up an organization to raise money for other homeless people in the area. For Roy Kaufman, this is a possible life-changing chance. The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another. 82．A．report B．bag C．list D．symbol 83．A．apologize B．drop C．investigate D．return 84．A．contact B．reward C．refuse D．greet 85．A．strange B．lost C．safe D．empty 86．A．encouragement B．support C．kindness D．opinion 87．A．generous B．honest C．poor D．polite 三、书面表达 88．假如你是光明中学英语社团成员，本周末社团将演出课本剧《愚公移山》，校园广播站准备通知在学校访问的外国学生前去观看，请你用英语写一篇广播稿。 主要内容包括： 1.演出时间、地点； 2.课本剧内容简介及意义； 3.欢迎对演出提出意见建议。 要求： 1.词数100左右（开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数）； 2.须包含所有要点提示，并可适当补充，以使行文连贯； 3.不得出现真实的个人姓名、校名等信息。 提示词汇：课本剧 textbook drama；《愚公移山》Yu Gong Moves the Mountains Good morning, everyone!

The detective in his stories is called Sherlock Holmes. He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards. This is a useful story writing skill. Because Watson is not very clever, the story remains a mystery until the end. The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too. Watson is almost as good a character in the story as Sherlock Holmes! The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson. When they are first introduced, Holmes says to Watson, “How do you do? I see you have been to Afghanistan (阿富汗).” Watson is too amazed by this to ask Holmes how he knows this. Watson has, indeed, been to Afghanistan. Later, he asks Holmes about it. Holmes explains that there is nothing magical about what he does. He gets to know it all by very, very careful observation (观察). Observation One Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor. Yet Holmes thought that the way he stood and walked made him seem like a soldier. So, this meant he was probably an army doctor. Observation Two Watson’s face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale. So his dark face was probably sun burnt. This meant that he had been to a hot, sunny country. Observation Three At the time, the British army had soldiers at bases in many parts of the world. So there were still a lot of places to choose from. However, Holmes saw that Watson looked very tired and he was always holding his left arm, as if it was painful. So, he had probably been with the army to a place where they were fighting. There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan. 1．Dr Watson watches Holmes with admiration because ________. A．Holmes solves mysteries in a most surprising way. B．Wastson is not very clever. C．People always come to Holmes for help D．The story of the mystery is written up afterwards. 2．The writer most probably created the character, Dr Watson, to ________. A．give Holmes help when solving mysteries B．show Holmes’ careful observation C．help readers pick up some clues about the mystery D．get readers to see the mystery step by step 3．The first time they meet, ________. A．Holmes explains how he knows Watson has been to Afghanistan B．Holmes surprises Watson by telling that he has been to Afghanistan C．Watson tells Holmes he has been to Afghanistan D．Watson asks Holmes how he knows he has been to Afghanistan 4．In “Observation two”. The underlined words sun burnt probably means ________. A．caused by illness B．made brown by sun C．painted by make-up D．given by his mother. 5．The passage tell us that Watson went to Afghanistan ________. A．fight the enemy for the country B．have a holiday with his friend C．work as an army doctor. D．stay away from the cold, rainy weather of London. 6．From the passage we know that the British army ________ at that time. A．only had soldiers in Afghanistan B．had many army doctors at bases in many parts of the world C．was fighting with several countries D．was fighting with Afghanistan 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．B 4．B 5．C 6．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了阿瑟·柯南·道尔爵士的神秘故事著名于世界各地。在他的故事中，侦探福尔摩斯以最惊人的方式解决奥秘。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段中“He solves mysteries in a most surprising way. His assistant, Dr Watson, watches with admiration and then writes up the story of the mystery afterwards.”可知，华生医生钦佩地看着福尔摩斯，因为福尔摩斯以一种最令人惊讶的方式解开谜团。故选A。 2．推理判断题。根据第三段中“The readers can sometimes pick up some clues before he does! Then, to make Watson understand the mystery, Holmes has to explain it all, step by step. So we, the readers, get to see it step by step too.”可知，读者有时能在他之前发现一些线索。然后，为了让华生理解这个谜，福尔摩斯必须一步一步地解释这一切。由此可推测出，作家很可能创造了华生医生这个人物，让读者一步步了解这个谜。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据第四段中“The very first time they meet, Holmes greatly surprises Watson.”可知，他们第一次见面时，福尔摩斯告诉华生他去过阿富汗，这让他大吃一惊。故选B。 4．词义猜测题。根据“Watson’s face was quite dark skinned. But his wrists were pale.So his dark face was probably sun burnt.”可知，下划线的sun burnt最有可能得意思是“被太阳晒成棕色”。故选B。 5．细节理解题。根据Observation One下的内容“Watson was introduced to Holmes as a doctor…So, this meant he was probably an army doctor.”可知，沃森去阿富汗当军医。故选C。 6．推理判断题。根据Observation Three下的内容中“There was only one place where the British army was fighting at that time: Afghanistan.”可知，当时英国军队只在一个地方作战: 阿富汗。由此推测出，那时英国军队正在和阿富汗作战。故选D。 Andrew is a teenager from Germany, studying in Garden School.

The thief was afraid and went home. Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise.” The next day he went to the door of his neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson (教训),” the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.

On Monday, Anne went to see if Diana was better. She soon ran back home with tears rolling down cheeks. “What has happened, Anne?” asked Marilla. “Mrs. Barry says that I sent Diana home drunk on Saturday. She says she’s never going to let Diana play with me again!” Marilla went to the cupboard and then came back to the kitchen with a bottle of wine, trying not to smile. “Anne, you gave Diana wine instead of raspberry cordial. Didn’t you know the difference?” “I never tasted it,” said Anne. “But Mrs. Barry will never believe me. And now I’ll never be able to play with Diana again!” The following Monday, Anne surprised Marilla by coming down from her room with her books. “I’m going back to school,” she said. “That is all there is left in life for me, now that my friend is gone.” Marilla tried not to show how happy she was to hear this. “You’d better work hard,” she said. One evening Anne did work hard, and soon she was top of the class with Gilbert Blythe, whom she still found very annoying. Anne was at home doing her homework. Matthew was home, but Marilla had gone to town with the Barrys and Mrs. Lynde. Suddenly, Anne looked up and saw Diana standing at the door. She looked very worried. “What is the matter, Diana?” cried Anne. “Oh, Anne, do come quick,” said Diana nervously. “Minnie May is very sick.

Behind him were some hungry wolves, he felt hopeless. But he had to be brave to cross the river.

Many people went to grandfather for advice or help.”可知，祖父被认为是村里最聪明的人，所以许多人向祖父寻求建议或帮助。故选C。 24．细节理解题。根据“One day, Tom saw three men walking together. They found a single-log bridge halfway, below which there was a deep river.”可知，三个人在半路上发现了一座独木桥，桥下有一条很深的河。故选B。 25．推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，不是祖父帮助三个人过的河，故选D。 26．篇章结构题。第一段介绍祖父很睿智；第二、三段介绍三人过河的事；第四段祖父通过三人过河的事告诉汤姆一个道理。故选C。 27．推理判断题。根据“When in difficulties, the more time it takes to hesitate, the higher price you’ll have to pay.”可知，遇到困难时，犹豫的时间越长，付出的代价就越大。所以这个故事告诉我们：当我们遇到困难时，不要犹豫，迅速行动。故选D。 The train pulled into the station at 8:05 p.m. on time, just as the schedule required, and the excellent Dr. Twill rushed to the train exit door and jumped onto the platform with a crowd of other travelers. He was tired from his long journey on the train（伸懒腰） and yawned （打哈欠）, and decided to find a hot cup of coffee before heading out to enjoy the bright city night. His trip through the nearby county towns had been a rewarding one: with a few short explanations here, some attractive promises there, and a great deal of excitement everywhere he went, he had been able to sell a number of his electrical cures at prices which made him more money than he had expected, and returned with a much lighter truck and fatter wallet than those with which he had departed. The cures were many and various, ranging from electrical hair brushes which promised to grow more hairs on a shiny bald head and give back a youthful and good-looking appearance, to electrical belts which were designed to reduce the fat around the belly（肚子）, lose weight every hour and build strong muscles while watching TV on a sofa, even to electrical shoes, the function of which was still unclear but wonderful without questions. He had even been able to get some rather big investments（投资）in the development of his latest cure: a bottle of magic water with pure electrical energy. When someone imbibes it, the whole health would improve, including his or her physical appearance of the body and the mind from within! Moreover,  this magic water works on both humans and pets. It is so popular that many people have asked to buy it before Dr. Twill is able to produce it. There was still a small question of how he would manage to turn pure electricity into water without losing its energy—but with all the amazing equipment in his lab, Dr. Twill had all confidence that a solution would come soon enough. 28．It can be inferred from the passage that Dr. Twill makes a living by ________. A．researching a great variety of diseases B．selling devices which are supposed to cure disease C．turning electricity into water, and selling it in the county D．travelling to the city to see patients under electric lights 29．Dr. Twill seems to believe that electricity is ________. A．a necessary thing of the modern world B．a dangerous technology which must be carefully studied C．a magical power that can be useful for human beings D．a medicine to fight against disease 30．Based on the context of the passage, Dr. Twill was travelling in order to ________. A．get away from the tiring city life B．make money by selling his invention in other towns C．find ideas to get new investment D．help people who were too poor to visit a doctor 31．According to the passage, what is the most likely reason that Dr. Twill returned from his travels with a “much lighter trunk” ? ________. A．Dr. Twill needed less clothing, because the weather was warmer than when he left B．Dr. Twill sold most of the things in his trunk while traveling C．Dr. Twill lost weight and reduced the fat around the belly D．Dr. Twill bought a new, lighter trunk with the investment 32．Based on the context of the passage, “imbibe” most nearly means ________.

So I now often give back to enable kids to have the same   77   at life that I have had. Volunteering is the best way to thank those who helped me on the road to success. I remember asking a counselor（顾问）when I was in Upward Bound how I could repay him. He smiled and said, "Shawn, you can help me by helping others." A sentence so simple, yet so 78 in its meaning.

I got so 79 . By the time I was ready to 80 , the kids looked for me everywhere that day. They said they liked having   me around. My desire to give back to the community came back.

To most people, it would be a source of temptation(诱惑). Something that happened last month has made the actions of the homeless Roy Kaufman out of the ordinary. Roy saw a 82 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down. He stood guard in the rain for a long time waiting for the owner to 83 . Because of the coldness, he reached inside and pulled the bag out. He hoped to find some cards with its owner’s name or phone numbers so that he could 84 the driver. But he only discovered it contained some bars of chocolates and ￡435 in notes, with another ￡50 in spare change beside it. He then took it to a nearby police station after leaving a note behind to let the owner know it was 85 . When the car’s owner Mr. Anderson returned to the car, he was shocked to find two policemen standing next to it and he was told what Roy Kaufman did. Mr. Anderson was later able to thank Mr. Roy for his 86 and said, “I couldn’t believe that the man never took a penny. The man has nothing and yet he didn’t take the money for himself. He thought about others instead of himself. It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 87 men out there. “ Roy Kaufman’s act drew much of the public’s attention.
