课时作业(十五) Unit 4 Period 3
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Have you ever thought of taking a train and having an adventure? Riding the train can be a real adventure. That is how I feel every time I take Amtrak. I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children. Every time I take this trip I never know what will happen.
Last week when I was on the train and over an hour into the train ride, there was a man sitting by himself in the back of the train carrying on a mobile phone conversation — in another language. It was loud and disturbed most of the people on the train. I think it was annoying.
Fortunately I sat next to a wonderful old lady who was taking a two-day trip by train. She said her two daughters were distraught at the thought of her driving for three days to reach her home, although she had no trouble driving. The train ride was the only choice for her. She loved to look out of the window and watch the world go by on the train.
She was fun to talk to and asked me when my children started being parents. That is a very good question. Both of us are old and have children. She asked that same question from time to time.
There are always many people on the train from all walks of life, different countries, and many languages. Riding the train is a great way to increase your knowledge and take in all kinds of cultures. If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.
It sure beats driving the car, which has to stop for food and restrooms. And it is better than taking the bus.
1.According to the passage, the purpose of the author's train ride was .
A.to do business
B.to see her children
C.to visit places of interest
D.to see her old friends
2.Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 3?
A.Disappointed. B.Satisfied.
C.Worried. D.Pleased.
3.In the author's opinion,on the train Amtrak .
A.the services are quite good
B.the food is terribly expensive
C.all the passengers are polite
D.all the passengers are American
4.What is the best title for this passage?
A.A wonderful lady
B.The history of Amtrak
C.A painful experience on the train
D.Train ride—a cultural experience
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章作者主要介绍了她的一次火车旅行经历以及她对火车旅行的看法:坐火车要比乘公共汽车和开车好。
1.解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第四句“I often take a four-hour trip to visit my children.(我经常花四个小时去看望我的孩子们)” 可知,作者坐火车是去看望自己的孩子。故选B项。
2.解析:选C 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段第一句中的“a wonderful old lady(一位很好的老太太)”和划线单词所在句子中的“her driving for three days to reach her home (她要开车三天才能到家)”可知,尽管老太太能开车,但是她年龄比较大了,女儿们考虑到她要开三天车才能到家,还是非常担心。所以distraught为“担心的,心烦意乱的”之意。故选C项。
3.解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“If you get hungry, you can buy food in the food car at any time. If you need to use the restroom there is always one available.(如果你饿了,你可以随时在餐车里买食物。如果你需要上厕所,总有一个)”可知,作者认为火车提供的服务是不错的。故选A项。
4.解析:选D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文中作者主要介绍了她的一次火车旅行经历及她对火车旅行的看法。所以“Train ride — a cultural experience(火车乘坐——一种文化体验)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。
Ⅱ.七选五
Maybe this is your first time to travel. Having the know-how to best manage your trip will help you to really enjoy the experiences you encounter along the way. 1 .

Cash is king. For an emergency, having some extra cash stashed away in a few places is a good way to cover yourself.

ATMs run out of cash occasionally too. 3 , in a rolled up sock, in your toiletries bag(旅行洗漱包), or maybe in a small hidden compartment of your main luggage bag.
3. Meet the locals

So don't panic. It's much easier to communicate with others than you might have imagined, use your body language and gestures.
4. Have patience!
If you are one to worry about every little thing, then don't! Whatever life throws at you, it's a waste of energy to be annoyed and angered at most things for any longer than a few seconds.What if you miss your flight? 5 .

【语篇解读】 这是一篇说明文,介绍了被誉为“中国第一水乡”的苏州周庄的建筑历史及特色风光。
1.was built 考查被动语态。句意:它建于1086年。分析句子结构可知,句子主语it是单数形式,与谓语动词build是被动关系,时间状语是过去的时间,因此,用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was built。
2.named 考查非谓语动词。句意:元末明初,有一个叫沈万三的人住在这个美丽的小镇上,他是那里最富有的人。这里用过去分词named作后置定语,意为“名为(被称呼为)”。故填named。
3.richest 考查形容词最高级。句意:元末明初,有一个叫沈万三的人住在这个美丽的小镇上,他是那里最富有的人。根据句意可知,此处指“最富有的”,用形容词最高级,故填richest。
4.foreigners 考查名词复数。句意:他开始利用水资源的外国人做生意。foreigner意为“外国人”,此处用复数形式foreigners表泛指。故填foreigners。
5.for 考查固定搭配。句意:周庄以运河、池塘和湖泊而闻名,尤其是石桥。短语be famous for是固定搭配,意为“以……而闻名”。该空缺少介词for。故填for。
6.which 考查定语从句关系词。句意:其中,双桥最受欢迎,由实德桥和永安桥组成。分析句子结构可知,这是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是the Double Bridge,关系词在从句中作主语,因此从句应用关系代词which引导,故填which。
7.different 考查形容词。句意:它们有不同的形状,一个圆形,另一个方形。形容词different意为“不同的”,作定语修饰名词shapes,故填different。
8.to appreciate 考查非谓语动词。句意:你可以乘船,经过桥下,欣赏桥下的碧水绿树。分析句意及句子结构可知,动词不定式to appreciate在该句中作目的状语。故填to appreciate。
9.passing 考查非谓语动词。句意:你可以乘船,经过桥下,欣赏桥下的碧水绿树。分析句子结构可知,主句已经有谓语动词can take,且句中无连词,所以pass应该用非谓语形式,pass与逻辑主语you之间是主动关系,故要用现在分词作状语。故填passing。
10.an 考查冠词。句意:你不妨在古老的小径上悠闲地散步,或者在湖边乘船游览老房子。walk用作名词,意为“散步”,是可数名词,此处泛指“一次”,该空后的easy发音以元音音素开头,因此,应该用不定冠词an。故填an。
