[语篇解读] 本文是一篇记叙文。作者进入高中以后花费了大量的时间学习诗歌并创作诗歌,在老师的鼓励下,他将自己的诗歌投稿给报社,并发表了第一篇诗歌。作者将此看作一个好的开始,相信自己可以成为一位著名的诗人。
1.began [考查动词的时态。句意:当我进入高中时,我开始对诗歌非常感兴趣。begin在此是主句谓语动词,与主句主语I是主动关系,叙述的是过去的动作,所以应用一般过去时。故填began。]
2.learning [考查非谓语动词。句意:我几乎把所有的空闲时间都花在了学习诗歌上。“devote time to doing sth.”是固定结构,意为“花时间做某事”,应用动名词作介词to的宾语。故填learning。]
3.whose [考查定语从句。句意:有一天,我把我的一首诗送给了我的老师,我想要他关于这首诗好不好的诚实的意见。 分析句子可知,“______ opinion I wanted as to whether or not the poem was any good”在此是非限制性定语从句,引导词在从句中作名词opinion的定语,应用关系代词whose。故填whose。]
4.to send [考查非谓语动词。句意:后来,他鼓励我把它寄到一家报纸出版。“encourage sb.to do sth.”为固定结构,意为“鼓励某人做某事”,用不定式作宾语补足语。故填to send。]
5.doubtful [考查形容词。句意:我很高兴听到他的意见,仍旧拿不定主意。 feeling为感官系动词,之后应用形容词作表语。根据句意可知,此处表示“拿不定主意的;怀疑的”,故填doubtful。]
6.without [考查介词。句意:想试试运气,我立即把我的诗邮寄给了一家报纸。“without delay”为固定结构,意为“立即;毫不迟延地”。故填without。]
7.assumption [考查名词。句意:在我等了一个多月后,我以为我的诗被拒绝了。空前my为形容词性物主代词,之后应接名词形式。故填assumption。]
8.a [考查冠词。句意:后来来了一封信,通知我他们要发表我的诗了。letter是可数名词,此处泛指一封信,所以应用不定冠词a。故填a。]
9.truly [考查副词。句意:我真的成功地写了我的第一首诗。此处修饰形容词successful,应用副词形式。故填truly。]
10.am convinced [考查动词的时态语态。句意:我相信我最终能成为一位著名的诗人。“be convinced that”是固定搭配,意为“确信……”,主语I与convince是被动关系,用被动语态,根据后文“I can eventually become a famous poet”可知,应用一般现在时。故填am convinced。]
[单元加餐练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
As a dropout myself, I often feel it is my duty to defend my fellow nonscholars.Common wisdom would have you believe we are the “bad kids”, the future criminals, the worst sort of people.But not all dropouts are likely to deal drugs,steal goods from a shop, or shoot pool all day.
My own favorite place to go when skipping school was always the public library.My early retirement meant that at last I had the time to read everything I wanted to.I found reading Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow a lot more interesting than reading about Sir Isaac Newton and the falling apple.
Best of all was the time I finally had to myself.I felt liberated.I had been in school nearly my whole life.I wanted to find out for myself who I was,and until I did,everything else felt like a waste of time.
However, after nearly three years, a series of strange thoughts began to make me anxious and unsure.Images of myself at the age of 35 began to haunt(缠扰)me in my sleep.And a voice in my head began asking over and over,“Who is paying the hot water bills? Who buys the microwave pizza?”The answer, of course, was my poor old parents.Sure,I was having an enjoyable time doing plenty of nothing, discovering myself and all, but that's unfair to them.What parents long to see their child drop out of school,with no plans for the future? Could they be expected to support me forever? Certainly not.I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself.
And it is here, in my new home of San Francisco, that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable: go back to school.I plan to take adult education classes and then apply for City College.On the one hand, I can hardly believe I'm doing it: a return to desks, chalkboards, and clocks that tell you when to stop thinking about one thing and start thinking about another.But at City College, I'll be able to take film production, semiotics, and sociology—just because I want to know about them.
So next time you see a dropout, be sympathetic.And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do.It never works.He'll come around when he's ready.
1.It is commonly believed that dropouts are_____.
A.bad kids from birth
B.interested in studying drugs
C.very likely to commit crimes
D.responsible for defending nonscholars
2.What did the author find most enjoyable after dropping out of school?
A.Living in comfort with his parents.
B.Reading in the public library.
C.Escaping the pressure from school.
D.Having time for selfdiscovery.
3.Why did the author move to San Francisco?
A.To fight for his own future.
B.To apply for City College.
C.To break away from his parents.
D.To live up to his parents' expectations.
4.What does the author suggest people do to deal with dropouts?
A.Push them to the limit.
B.Open their hearts to them.
C.Try to be understanding.
D.Encourage them to be friendly.
[语篇解读] 本文是夹叙夹议文。作者三年前辍学,觉得获得了解放,有时间做自己想做的事。但三年后,决定还是重回学校,为了自己的未来去奋斗。
1.C [细节理解题。根据第一段中“Common wisdom would have you believe we are the ‘bad kids’,the future criminals, the worst sort of people.”可知,人们普遍认为辍学的孩子是“坏孩子”,是未来的罪犯。故选C项。]
2.D [推理判断题。根据第三段中“Best of all was the time I finally had to myself.I felt liberated...I wanted to find out for myself who I was.(最棒的是我终于有了属于自己的时间。我觉得自由了。……我想知道自己是谁。)”可以推断,作者觉得辍学后最令人愉快的事情是有属于自己的时间,做自己想做的事,去进行自我发现。故选D项。]
3.A [细节理解题。根据第四段中“I immediately moved out of the house and out of town, in search of a future for myself.”和第五段中“it is here, in my new home of San Francisco, that I have decided to do what was once unthinkable: go back to school.”可知,作者搬到San Francisco是要重回学校上学,为了自己的未来而奋斗。故选A项。]
4.C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中“So next time you see a dropout, be sympathetic.And please don't push him to do something he doesn't want to do.”可以推断,作者建议人们对于辍学的人,要同情他们,要理解他们,不要逼他做他不想做的事。故选C项。]

Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Last year, I spent my holiday in an unfamiliar neighborhood in Lakewood, New Jersey.We rented a house so that some of our children and grandchildren could join us.Everyone in the area was super friendly, offering to come to introduce themselves to us and to ensure that we would make full use of their hospitality, whether to borrow something or to send the kids to play in their yards.We were excited and impressed and immediately began to see if there were any houses for sale in the neighborhood!
The next door to us was particularly fascinating (to visit not to buy).In the yard, there was a tennis court, a swing set and various toys and games that were particularly popular with young children.The owner was also very friendly and invited the kids to come over and play.
They didn't have to be asked twice.They played for hours on end.While we relaxed in our yard, perhaps a little too comfortable, perhaps enjoying each other's company a little too much, perhaps forgetting that young children can't be left too long without adults looking after them.
Apparently, a small fight broke out between the boy of the next door and one of my fiveyearold grandsons.My 10yearold grandson immediately jumped to his cousin's defense and pushed the other boy.At this point, the mother next door was forced to intervene (调停).
And the neighbor came over to speak to us.Now when I try to imagine myself: in that position, I imagine all sorts of negative and aggressive ways to deal with it-I would have been very angry and complained about the bad behavior of these visiting children, and definitely sent them home.
注意:1.续写的词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Para.1:
What she did was quite opposite.
_________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________

Para.2:
Honestly, I owed my thanks to the neighbor.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
What she did was quite opposite.She was so kind, friendly and calm.She spoke of their great pleasure in sharing backyard, and of the necessity of monitoring our children's behavior.She told her children we were all their guests and that we should be respected and given special treatment; otherwise, as hosts, they were to blame.After that, these children got along well as before.The kids were immediately brought home but the next day they were welcomed to play.
Honestly, I owed my thanks to the neighbor.Small as her actions may seem, they were big in our eyes.The neighbor not only let all the children keep happy but also taught me an unforgettable lesson in dealing with relationships.From her, I learned some good skills in getting along with others.Small and kind actions can bring warmth to people.We should pass them on to our children and grandchildren.
