8B Unit5阅读训练1 一、完形填空 I had to make a safe place to live. I could not stay there 1 there was no fresh water there. I found a good piece of flat ground up a hill, with a cliff (悬崖) on oneside and a good 2 of the sea. I put up my tent near the cliff. I cut some wood and made a strong fence around the area. The fence did not have a gate or door. I used a ladder to 3 it to reach my tent and then pulled the ladder inside the fence. 4 could come in. I was safe. I brought all my things inside the fence. I dug a cave in the cliff behind me, and I put a lot of things there to keep them dry. During one storm, I was afraid that 5 would hit my gunpowder (火药), and I would lose it all. After the storm, I divided the gunpowder into small 6 and put them in different places. Every day, I went out with my gun to shoot something that I could cook and eat. I found that there were goats on the island, and I soon shot one. Every day, I tick the 7 on a piece of wood with an axe. In this way, I knew 8 I had been on the island. I had some paper and ink from the ship, and I took 9 about my new life. It was a terrible, 10 life without anybody, but at least I was alive. And I had saved many useful things from the ship, which would help me to stay 11. I found a tree that had very hard wood to make a spade (锹) so that I could dig. This helped me to make my cave bigger. I made a table and chair. They were very difficult 12 and took me a long time. However, I did not worry about time because I had nothing else to do 13 to feed myself and stay alive. Sometimes, I climbed up the hill to see if there 14 be a ship, but I never saw one.

Direct questions are either Yes or No questions such as “Are you married?” or information questions such as “Where do you live?”. It’s OK to ask your friends or someone you know well direct questions. But they can seem abrupt and impolite at times especially when you are asking a stranger. For example, if you come up to someone and ask “What time is it?” or “Can you move?”, he or she may refuse to answer you. It is certainly correct to ask questions in this way, but it’s very common to make these kinds of questions more polite by adding “Excuse me” or “Pardon me” to begin your questions. It’s also possible to use “can” in more informal situations. In the past, “can” was not used when people asked for something, but was only used to refer to abilities. In the United Kingdom, Cambridge University publishes books with the phrases “Can you lend me” “Can I have”, etc. In the United States, this form is still considered to be incorrect, especially for written English, and “May I have” is preferred. Questions with “can” are made more polite by using “could”: “Pardon me, could you help me?”. “Would” can also be used to make questions more polite. “Would you lend me your pencil?” is also polite. Another way of making direct questions more polite is to add “please” at the end of the questions. We can say, “Could you help me, please?” “Please” should not appear at the beginning of the questions. 16. The underlined word “abrupt” in Paragraph 2 probably means _. A. friendly and warm B. rude and unfriendly C. clear and useful D. common and normal 17. According to the passage, the writer thinks _. A. we shouldn't ask direct questions in daily life B. it's OK to ask strangers direct questions C. it's not enough to ask questions correctly D. we must know someone well before asking questions 18 From Paragraph 3, we can know _. A. "can" was only used to describe abilities before B. people in America like using "can" better C. questions with "can" are more polite in written English D. questions with "can" are polite in the US 19. We can infer from the passage that _. A. "please" is more effective at the beginning of a question than at the end B. using "could" instead of "can"can make an informal question more polite C. direct questions are never accepted when people talk to strangers D. "May I have" is widely used in spoken English in the United Kingdom 20. What does the passage mainly tell us? A. How to be a polite person. B. How to use some expressions correctly. C. How to make direct questions more polite. D. How to change the ways we speak. 三、任务型阅读 Should books always be kept in good condition? How do you treat your books? Do you try not to fold a page by using a bookmark? Are you careful not to make a crease(折痕) on the spine of the book when you open it? Do you store your collection neatly (整齐地) on a shelf? Or perhaps you pay less attention to their condition—you’re happy to highlight quotes and paragraphs or scribble(涂写) notes down the margins of a page. You take your stories with you wherever you go, even if that means they get a bit dog-eared and damaged. What’s your view—do you think they should always be kept in good condition? People have been sharing their opinions online about the issue. Yes No Books deserve our respect. It doesn't matter as long as you read. It is important to care for your books. This is especially true if the book costs a lot of money,or was given to you as a present. If you don't look after your books,people might not buy them for you in the future. They also won't last so long if they are damaged. If a book is full of ripped pages,or has a damaged cover,it is less likely that a friend will want to pick it up and read it,so you won't be able to share your favourite stories. If you donate it to a charity shop,it is less likely that someone will buy it. Over time,treating books badly could become a bad habit. If you damage novels that you've borrowed from the library or a friend,you might end up with a fine-or an upset friend. One of the great things about an actual book is that readers can make it their own with notes. If it's a gift,you can write a nice message. These little scribbles are great to return to and can make a book feel personal and special to you. It doesn't matter if this means that a book isn't in perfect condition-you can always buy a new copy if the old one gets too damaged. In the end,it should just be about what makes reading a book most enjoyable for each person. Authors just want people to read their stories;they don't mind how or where people do it. If a reader should happen to damage their copy along the way,it doesn't really matter. Topic Should books always be kept in good condition?
