Ⅳ.课文语法填空 When reading The Road Not Taken, one cannot help but see in one's mind images of a 1.　peaceful　(peace) wood deep within the countryside.Paths in the woods are often used 2.　to symbolize　(symbolize) how our lives progress and change. Life 3.　throws　(throw) many alternatives at us on a daily basis.Whether our choices are big 4.　or small, they all cause specific consequences.Once we make a decision, in most 5.　circumstances　(circumstance), there is no going back.Although the writer of the poem considers taking the other path another day, he knows it's unlikely that he will ever have the opportunity to do so.Like the writer, all we can do is look backwards “with a sigh” and imagine 6.　what could have been. The road ahead—the road through our lives—is a mixture of 7.　choice　(choose) and chance.And when we 8.　are approaching　(approach) the end of that road, how will we remember the journey? How will we look back on our lives? Some of us do take a more unusual path through life, and while it may be harder one to follow, it can also lead to new adventures and experiences.Nonetheless, part of the art of decision­making is learning to make 9.　the most of our decisions.Instead of 10.　looking　(look) back with regret, we should be facing our future with energy and optimism, for the choices are ours, and ours only. Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do.Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income.I tried journalism, but I didn't think I was any good, then finance, which I hated.Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher.I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull. I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep­down wish to write a novel.Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55，000 words. It takes confidence to make a new start—there's a dark period in­between when you're neither one thing nor the other.You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say, “Well, I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there.” My confidence died.Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside. Then I met an agent(代理商)who said I should send my novel off to agents.So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback.I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel. The next problem was finding a publisher.After two­and­a­half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for. It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really.When you set out to do something different, there's no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding. [语篇解读]　这是一篇记叙文。作者大学毕业时获得了英国文学学位，但是不知道自己想做什么。做过一些工作后，作者明确了自己的梦想，并为之努力，最后成为一名作家。 1．What can be inferred from the first paragraph? A．I was seeking to find an admirable job. B．I was waiting for good fortune. C．I was being aimless about an appropriate job. D．I was doing several jobs at a time. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段可知作者在大学毕业时获得了一个很好的英国文学学位，但对自己想做什么一无所知，在毕业后的六年里，作者尝试过新闻业和金融行业。最后，在一家著名的出版社找到了一份版权助理的工作。由此可推知，作者过去对合适的工作一直没有目标。故选C。 答案　C 2．Why did the author begin to write a novel? A．Because the author wanted to finish the writing course. B．Because the author aimed to fulfill his dream. C．Because the author would like to meet readers' needs. D．Because the author intended to earn more money. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“I decided to try to satisfy a deep­down wish to write a novel”可知，作者写小说是为了实现她的梦想。故选B。 答案　B 3．How did the author feel halfway with the novel? A．Unsure. B．Ashamed. C．Confident. D．Embarrassed. 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I'm writing a novel, but I'm not quite sure if I'm going to get there”可知，作者在写小说的过程中并不确定是否能达到目标。故选A。由第三段中的“You're out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you're too ashamed to say...”可知，作者在被别人问是做什么的时候感到羞愧，而不是作者写小说的感受，故B项和D项不正确；由第三段中的“My confidence died.”可知，作者没有信心，故C项不正确。 答案　A 4．What is the best title for the passage? A．Good luck makes a difference B．Hard work can lead to success C．The early bird catches the worm D．It pays to stick to one's dream 解析　主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者大学毕业时获得英国文学学位，但是不知道自己想做什么，做过一些工作后，作者明确了自己的梦想，经过努力最后成为一名作家。结合最后一段中的“so to find myself in a position...is unbelievably rewarding”可知，通过坚持和努力找到自己的位置是有回报的，D项“坚持自己的梦想是有回报的”符合文章主旨。故选D。 答案　D B Until decades ago, our visions of the future were largely positive.We thought science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.However, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from epidemic(流行病) flu to climate change, we might even tend to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to. Yet such depression is misplaced.The fossil record shows that many species have existed for millions of years—so why shouldn't we? Take a look at our species in the universe, and it becomes clear we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens of thousands of years.Look up Homo sapiens(智人) in the “Red List” of threatened species of the International Union for the Conversation of Nature (IUCN), and you will read: “Listed as Least Concern because the species is widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.” So what does our deep future hold? Many researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about the question.The potential evolution of today's technology is complicated, so it's perhaps best left to science fiction writers and futurologists to explore the possibilities of the bright future. Our future is quite rosy because it shows many promising possibilities of achievement.Besides, we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans and to improve those to come.Take a longer view and we can say with considerable assurance that the past holds the key to the future: by analyzing the past, we can make evidence­based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants (后代) will find themselves.
