Unit 1 The Changing World Section A 1a-1d A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 一、单词拼写 1. 　　　　　　　　 (猜猜看)! What are we learning about? 【答案】Guess what 【解析】句意：猜猜看！我们学到了什么？根据中文提示，guess what“猜猜看”符合题意，为固定表达，此处是祈使句，以动词原形开头。故填Guess what。 2. The wall has a 　　　　　　　　 (粗糙的) surface. 【答案】rough 【解析】句意：这面墙有着粗糙的表面。括号内中文提示“粗糙的”对应形容词rough，作定语修饰名词surface（表面），符合描述墙面质感的语境，故填rough。 3. A 　　　　　　　　 (guide) job is to show us the way on a visit. 【答案】guide’s 【解析】句意：一名导游的工作是在游览过程中为我们引路。句中“A...job is...”提示空格处需要表达所属含义，修饰名词job，空格前有不定冠词A，说明用单数名词guide的所有格形式guide’s，在句中作定语修饰job。 4. Tom 　　　　　　　　 (keep) training until he 　　　　　　　　 (reach) his goal some day. 【答案】① will keep    ② reaches 【解析】句意：汤姆会坚持训练，直到有一天达成目标。根据句末时间状语“some day”（有一天）可知，句子描述的是将来要发生的事情。在until引导的时间状语从句中，若主句表示将来动作，遵循“主将从现”原则，即主句用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时表将来。第一空（主句）：应用一般将来时，结构为“will+动词原形”，故填will keep。第二空（从句）：应用一般现在时，主语he是第三人称单数，动词reach需变为单三形式，故填reaches。 二、完成句子 1. 很多病人承担不起去看病，所以我们需要伸出援助之手。 Many patients can’t afford 　　　　　　　　, so we need to 　　　　　　　　. 【答案】① to see a doctor##to see the doctor##to go to hospital    ② give a helping hand 【解析】“承担不起做某事”can’t afford to do sth，“看病”see a/the doctor或go to hospital，动词用不定式；“伸出援助之手”give a helping hand，to后加动词原形构成不定式。故填to see a doctor/to see the doctor/to go to hospital；give a helping hand。 2. 到目前为止，大家的努力已经带来了令人满意的结果。 So far, everyone’s efforts 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　 satisfying results. 【答案】① have    ② brought    ③ about 【解析】原句中“带来”是关键词，对应短语可译为bring about，句中So far“到目前为止”是现在完成时的标志性时间状语，结构为have/has+过去分词，主语everyone’s efforts是复数，助动词用have。故填have；brought；about。 3. The road was very narrow and rough. (用 “used to” 和 “now” 改写句子。) → 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 【答案】The road used to be very narrow and rough. Now it is wide and smooth. 【解析】句意：这条路过去又窄又崎岖。原句为主系表结构的一般过去时句子，题目要求用used to改写过去的状态，再用now描述现在的变化。表示主语过去常是某种状态的固定结构为“主语 + used to be + 形容词”；now提示后半句用一般现在时说明如今道路宽阔平坦，故完整句子为The road used to be very narrow and rough. Now it is wide and smooth. 三、单项选择 1. —Hello, may I speak to Mr. Green? —Yes. ________. A. I’m Mr. Green B. This is Mr. Green speaking C. He is Mr. Green D. That is Mr. Green speaking 【答案】B 【解析】句意：——你好，我可以和格林先生通话吗？——是的。我是格林先生。 I’m Mr. Green我是格林先生；This is Mr. Green speaking我是格林先生；He is Mr. Green他是格林先生；That is Mr. Green speaking那是格林先生在说话。在英语电话用语中，介绍自己常用“This is...speaking”，而不用“I am...”。根据“Yes”可知接电话的就是格林先生本人，填This is Mr. Green speaking。 2. It ________ him fifteen minutes to get home from school. A. spends B. costs C. takes D. pays 【答案】C 【解析】句意：从学校到家花了他十五分钟。 考查动词辨析。spends花费，主语是人；costs花费，主语是物；takes花费，主语通常是it；pays支付。此处为固定句型“It takes sb.+时间+to do sth.”，意为“某人花费多长时间做某事”。故选C。 3. We were ________ at the ________ changes that had taken place in the small mountain village. A. amazed; amazing B. amazing; amazed C. amazed; amazed D. amazing; amazing 【答案】A 【解析】句意：我们对这座小山村里发生的令人惊叹的变化感到十分吃惊。 以-ed结尾的形容词通常修饰人，表示“感到……的”；以-ing结尾的修饰物，表示“令人……的”。we为人，用amazed；changes为物，用amazing。 4. ________, we have learned about 1,500 English words and 300 phrases. A. Later on B. So far C. Until then D. From now 【答案】B 【解析】句意：到目前为止，我们已经学习了大约1500个英语单词和300个短语。 Later on后来；So far迄今为止；Until then直到那时；From now从今以后。根据句中谓语动词“have learned”可知句子时态为现在完成时。Later on、Until then和From now通常不与现在完成时连用，只有So far是现在完成时的标志性状语，符合语境。应填So far。 5. —Jack ________ so much recently. —Yeah, he ________ be shy, but now he is confident and active. A. has changed; used to B. changed; is used to C. changed; used to D. has changed; is used to 【答案】A 【解析】句意：——杰克最近变化很大。——是的，他过去很害羞，但现在他自信又活跃。 考查时态与动词短语辨析。第一空，has changed已经改变，现在完成时；changed改变，一般过去时。根据时间状语“recently”可知，动作从过去持续到现在并对现在有影响，应用现在完成时has changed。第二空，used to过去常常；is used to习惯于。根据“but now he is confident”的对比可知，描述过去的状态“害羞”，应用used to be“过去常常是”。故选A。 6. The old man ________ for 5 years. A. died B. has died C. has been dead D. was dead 【答案】C 【解析】句意：老人已经去世五年了。 考查现在完成时与动词持续性。died去世了，一般过去时；has died已经去世，现在完成时；has been dead已经去世了，现在完成时；was dead去世了，一般过去时。分析句子可知，“for 5 years”表示一段时间，句子需用现在完成时并表示持续状态，die为非延续性动词，不能与for+时间段连用，若连用必转化成be dead的形式，所以has been dead符合题意。故选C。 7. The wind became even ________ in the evening. A. rough B. rougher C. roughest D. roughly 【答案】B 【解析】句意：晚上，风甚至变得更猛烈了。 rough猛烈的（形容词原级）；rougher更猛烈的（比较级）；roughest最猛烈的（最高级）；roughly粗略地（副词）。由became可知，此处应用形容词作表语；even常与比较级连用，表示“甚至更……”，故应用rougher。 8. In spring, the mountain near my hometown is covered ________ beautiful green trees. A. of B. in C. with D. from 【答案】C 【解析】句意：春天，我家附近的山被美丽的绿树覆盖着。 of……的；in在……里面；with用……；from来自……。“is covered”为被动语态，表示“被覆盖”，其后需接介词引出覆盖物，固定搭配“be covered with”表示“被……覆盖”，强调覆盖物（如树木、雪、布等）附着于表面。应填with。 一、补全对话 Li Rui: Hi, Bob!

Welcome to my hometown!”以及后文鲍勃感慨家乡变化巨大可知，此处说明距离上次来访已经过去很久。选项F“It’s been four years since you last visited.”符合见面寒暄、引出家乡变化话题的语境。 (2)题： 根据“I can’t believe my eyes.”以及“Yes, a lot of things have changed.”可知，此处表达眼前一切看起来截然不同。选项D“Everything looks so different!”符合感叹家乡面貌变化巨大的语境。 (3)题： 根据“Of course!”和“Is it still there?”可知，此处回忆从前在河边旧公园玩耍的经历。选项B“We used to play there.”符合回忆旧公园往事的语境。 (4)题： 根据“It’s still there, but it added a new playground and many flowers.”可知，此处是对公园翻新变化作出正面评价。选项A“That’s great.”符合听完公园新变化后表达赞叹的语境。 (5)题： 根据“Now we have a large shopping mall there.”以及“Really?

Long ago, the hills around us were 　　　1　　　 with pale sand, and the whole area looked lifeless. Strong winds often brought terrible 　　　2　　　, which destroyed our fields year after year. Back then, we faced a serious farmland 　　　3　　　. The main reason was lack 　　　4　　　 green plants to protect the ground. Few bushes grew on the dry, 　　　5　　　 land, for local people had no money to buy saplings. Without strong 　　　6　　　 holding the earth, the soil blew away easily every windy day. Later, we received the 　　　7　　　 support. Officials taught us to grow small plants and offered free saplings. Lots of villagers chose to 　　　8　　　 this environmental project. We planted thousands of 　　　9　　　 across the hills. Their thick roots now lock the soil firmly. Today, those once bare hills are full of green. Sandstorms seldom hit us, and we have rich farmland to grow 　　　　10　　　　. All these warm changes tell us that joint efforts can turn poor land into a lovely home. 【答案】1. covered     2. sandstorms     3. shortage     4. of     5. sandy     6. roots     7. government’s     8. support     9. bushes     10. corn      【解析】本文主要介绍了家乡从前土地沙化、沙尘暴频发、耕地短缺，后来在政府扶持下大规模种植灌木固土，如今荒山变绿地、能够种植庄稼的环境变迁故事。 (1)题： 句意：很久以前，我们周围的小山被黄沙覆盖，整片区域毫无生机。be covered with表示“被……覆盖”，固定搭配，本句为一般过去时的被动语态，cover的过去分词为covered。 (2)题： 句意：大风常常带来可怕的沙尘暴，年复一年摧毁我们的田地。根据下文“Sandstorms seldom hit us...”可知，现在沙尘暴很少了，但是在过去沙尘暴经常会摧毁田地，terrible修饰名词sandstorm“沙尘暴”，此处应用复数形式sandstorms表泛指。 (3)题： 句意：那时候，我们面临严重的耕地短缺问题。farmland shortage是固定短语，意为“耕地短缺”，shortage作名词，表示“短缺，不足”。 (4)题： 句意：主要原因是缺少保护地表的绿色植物。lack of表示“缺少……”，固定搭配，介词of引出缺少的对象“green plants”。 (5)题： 句意：干燥多沙的土地上几乎不长灌木，因为当地人没钱买树苗。此处需用形容词修饰名词land，sandy为形容词，意为“含沙的，沙质的”，对应前文黄沙遍地的环境。 (6)题： 句意：没有粗壮的根系固定泥土，每逢大风天土壤就很容易被吹走。根据常识可知，根系可以固沙，strong修饰名词，root意为“根”，土地上植物的根系不止一条，应用复数形式roots。 (7)题： 句意：后来，我们得到了政府的帮扶。根据“Officials taught us to grow small plants and offered free saplings.”可知，政府官员提供了很多帮助。此处需用所有格修饰名词support，government为名词，所有格形式为government’s“政府的”。 (8)题： 句意：很多村民选择支持这项环保工程。根据“We planted thousands of...”可知，村民支持这项环保工程，choose to do sth.表示“选择做某事”，固定搭配，to后接动词原形support。 (9)题： 句意：我们在山上种了成千上万株灌木。planted thousands of后接表示植物的复数名词，bush意为“灌木”，复数形式为bushes。 (10)题： 句意：沙尘暴很少再来，我们拥有肥沃耕地用来种植玉米。grow后接表示农作物的名词，corn为不可数名词，无需变形。 三、完形填空 My name is Lin Tao, and I grew up in a small town. When I was a child, the town was quiet and simple. There were only a few shops, and the roads were narrow. People knew each other, and life moved slowly. Over the past ten years, my hometown 　　　　1　　　　 a lot. New buildings have appeared, and the population has 　　　　2　　　　 doubled. The government has built a new hospital, a modern shopping mall, and a sports center. 　　　　3　　　　 these changes, life has become more convenient. However, not everyone is 　　　　4　　　　 with the rapid development. Some old buildings were torn down, and the town lost some of its historical charm. The traffic has become 　　　　5　　　　, and the air is not as clean as before. I have mixed feelings about the changes. 　　　　6　　　　 one hand, I enjoy the new facilities and job opportunities. 　　　　7　　　　 the other hand, I miss the peaceful atmosphere of the past. I believe we can find a balance between development and 　　　　8　　　　. My dream is to see my hometown become a 　　　　9　　　　 place where modern life and nature coexist. I hope that 　　　　10　　　　 the future, it will be a model for other towns to follow. 1. A. changed B. changes C. has changed 2. A. almost B. hardly C. never 3. A. Thanks for B. Thanks to C. Instead of 4. A. happy B. angry C. bored 5. A. lighter B. heavier C. faster 6. A. In B. On C. At 7. A. In B. On C. At 8. A. pollution B. protection C. population 9. A. noisy B. crowded C. wonderful 10. A. in B. on C. at 【答案】1. C     2. A     3. B     4. A     5. B     6. B     7. B     8. B     9. C     10. A      【解析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了林涛家乡近十年的发展变化，作者对家乡变迁有着复杂的心情，同时表达了对家乡未来发展的美好期许。 (1)题： 句意：在过去的十年里，我的家乡改变了很多。 时间状语Over the past ten years是现在完成时的标志性提示，该时态结构为“have/has + 过去分词”，主语my hometown是单数，助动词用has，动词用过去分词changed，故填has changed。 (2)题： 句意：新建筑拔地而起，人口几乎翻了一番。 此处是说人口数量接近翻倍，almost意为“几乎、差不多”，贴合语境；hardly“几乎不”和never“从未”均不符。 (3)题： 句意：多亏了这些变化，生活变得更加便利。 Thanks to意为“多亏、由于”，可引出生活变便利的原因，符合此处语境；Thanks for多用于表达“因某事致谢”，Instead of意为“代替、而不是”，二者逻辑无法衔接前后内容。 (4)题： 句意：然而，并不是每个人都对这样快速的发展感到满意。 be happy with表示“对……感到满意”，契合后文发展带来弊端、有人不认可变化的转折语境；angry“生气的”，bored“无聊的”，二者均不符合此处表达普遍态度的场景。 (5)题： 句意：交通变得更拥堵了，空气也不如从前洁净。 heavy可用于形容交通拥堵，heavier是其比较级，体现拥堵程度加重；lighter“更通畅的”，和后文负面变化的走向矛盾；faster“更快的”，不能用来描述交通整体拥堵状况。 (6)题： 句意：一方面，我享受新的设施和就业机会。 常用搭配On one hand表示“一方面”，介词常使用on；In、At均不能和one hand构成常用短语。 (7)题： 句意：另一方面，我怀念过去宁静的氛围。 常用搭配On the other hand表示“另一方面”，和上个空处形成呼应，介词常使用on；In、At均不能和 the other hand构成常用短语。 (8)题： 句意：我相信我们能在发展和保护之间找到平衡。 前文提到发展造成历史特色流失、空气质量下降等问题，protection“保护”能和发展形成制衡关系；pollution“污染”，population“人口”，二者均无法和发展形成需要平衡的对立维度。 (9)题： 句意：我的梦想是看到我的家乡成为一个现代生活和自然和谐共存的美好地方。 wonderful意为“美好的、出色的”，契合对家乡未来的美好憧憬；noisy“吵闹的”，crowded“拥挤的”，二者都是负面形容词，和语境的期许感不符。 (10)题： 句意：我希望在未来，它能成为其他城镇效仿的典范。 常用搭配in the future表示“在将来”，介词常使用in；on、at 均不能和the future构成常用短语。 一、阅读单选 A篇 Great changes have taken place in Chinese villages.

Most land was sandy. Every spring, sandstorms came fiercely, and the farmland was covered with sand. The biggest problem was farmland shortage. People lacked smooth roads and modern ways to sell their corn. Villagers used to walk tens of kilometers to the nearest small town to sell grain. Few people believed the village could change greatly. Later, with the government’s support, lots of new plans came out. Workers planted trees to stop sandstorms. Rough dirt paths turned into wide highways. A new railway was built to connect our village with big cities. These actions brought about amazing results. Farmers grew more corn in improved soil. They sold crops online easily. Since then, more young people have chosen to come back and build their hometown. Now when you visit here, you can hardly see sandy wasteland any more. The great changes that took place here tell us that joint efforts can beat difficulty. 1. What was the main trouble of the village long ago? A. Too many trees.

C      【解析】本文讲述作者家乡村庄十年前后的巨大变迁。 (1)题： 第一段写明：“The biggest problem was farmland shortage... Villagers used to walk tens of kilometers to the nearest small town to sell grain”，点明过去村子存在耕地短缺、交通不便两大难题。 (2)题： 第一段提及：“Villagers used to walk tens of kilometers to the nearest small town to sell grain”，村民过去需要长途步行到镇上售卖谷物。 (3)题： 第二段表明：“Later, with the government’s support, lots of new plans came out”，政府扶持是村庄开展各项改造的前提，对村庄改变起到最大作用。 (4)题： 第二段提到：“These actions brought about amazing results”，各项举措带来惊人的改变，“brought about”含义为“带来；造成”。 (5)题： 文末指出：“The great changes that took place here tell us that joint efforts can beat difficulty”，体现努力与扶持能够改变贫困乡村。 1 / 6 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 1 The Changing World Section A 1a-1d A组 巩固过关 C组 思维拔高 B组 能力进阶 一、单词拼写 1. 　　　　　　　　 (猜猜看)!

Every spring, sandstorms came fiercely, and the farmland was covered with sand. The biggest problem was farmland shortage. People lacked smooth roads and modern ways to sell their corn. Villagers used to walk tens of kilometers to the nearest small town to sell grain. Few people believed the village could change greatly. Later, with the government’s support, lots of new plans came out. Workers planted trees to stop sandstorms. Rough dirt paths turned into wide highways. A new railway was built to connect our village with big cities. These actions brought about amazing results. Farmers grew more corn in improved soil. They sold crops online easily. Since then, more young people have chosen to come back and build their hometown. Now when you visit here, you can hardly see sandy wasteland any more. The great changes that took place here tell us that joint efforts can beat difficulty. 1. What was the main trouble of the village long ago? A. Too many trees.
