Unit 2　The United Kingdom Ⅰ.语法单句填空 ‎1．These robots will be designed to look like people to make them more ________(attract) and easier to sell to the public.‎ 答案：attractive　考查形容词词义。句意：这些机器人将被设计成人的模样以便使它们更具吸引力，这样也就更容易卖给大众。‎ ‎2．I think people must have found it quite ________ delight when colour TV was first broadcast in ________ 1920s.‎ 答案：a；the　考查冠词的用法。第一个空考查抽象名词具体化，此处a delight意为“高兴的事”；第二个空考查的是固定用法，表示“几十年代”要用定冠词，如in the 1920s。‎ ‎3．It's Mary's own fault if she feels left ______ at the party; she makes no effort to be friendly to people.‎ 答案：out　考查动词短语。句意：如果玛丽在派对上感到受到冷落，那也是她自己的错误；她对别人一点也不友好。leave out“被冷落”。‎ ‎4．A new food market has been built ________ the convenience of the residents.‎ 答案：for　句意：为方便居民，新建了一个食品超市。for the convenience“为了……便利，方便”，符合句意。‎ ‎5．There are more than two million farmers, making________ two thirds of the total population of the province.‎ 答案：up　句意：这个省份有二百多万农民，占总人口数的三分之二。空格处表示“组成；构成”之意，与farmers为逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用现在分词making up。‎ ‎6．—I have never heard it ______(talk) of before. And you?‎ ‎—The same as you.‎ 答案：talked　考查过去分词短语作宾补。句意：——我以前从没有听说过谈论此事，你呢？——和你一样。宾语和宾补之间构成被动关系，故使用过去分词作宾补。‎ ‎7．Though computers can do a lot of work man can't do, they can't completely take______ place of human beings.‎ 答案：the　考查短语意义。句意：虽然电脑能做许多人类不能做的工作，但是电脑并不能完全代替人。take the place of“代替……”，符合句意。‎ ‎8．It is strange that he ________ (know) so much about me.‎ 答案：(should) know　在It＋be/seems＋strange(necessary，important，natural，a pity, a shame...) that...句型中，that所引导的主语从句的谓语动词常用“should＋动词原形”的形式，should可以省略。‎ ‎9．—Is there any possibility ________ you could pick me up at the airport?‎ ‎—No problem.‎ 答案：that　考查名词性从句。问句句意：你可能到机场来接我吗？that引导的从句作possibility的同位语，that无意义，起连接作用。‎ ‎10．—Why do you suggest we buy a new machine?‎ ‎—Because the old one has been damaged ________ repair.‎ 答案：beyond　考查短语意义。句意：——你为什么建议我们买一台新机器呢？——因为旧的那台已经损坏得无法修理了。A项意为“无法到达”；B项意为“无法修理”；C项意为“无法控制”；D项意为“无法描述”。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 ‎(2013·桂林市一调)‎ For thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news. ‎ As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historicists. The most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”， which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England. ‎ However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub's landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.‎ That's how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch(信贷紧缩 ) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned (禁止) smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.‎ This decline(衰退) is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubs to stay open after 11 p．m. Previously, with 11 p．m. as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”， and it causes longterm health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.‎ In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”， meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.‎ 文章大意：酒馆和教堂一直是英国最重要的建筑。本文重点介绍了酒馆的历史和现在。‎ ‎1．The passage mainly tells us something about ________.‎ A．the long history of British pubs B．the decline of British pubs C．the past and present of British pubs D．the importance of British pubs 答案：C　主旨大意题。全文讲的是英国酒馆的过去和现在。‎ ‎2．Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?‎ A．The credit crunch.　　　　 B．The present closing time.‎ C．The ban of smoking. D．Having no spare money.‎ 答案：B　细节理解题。由第四段可知，酒馆的衰退是因为三个方面的原因：信贷紧缩、人们没有闲钱和政府在酒馆的禁烟。‎ ‎3．We can infer from the passage that ________.‎ A．binge drinking means drinking less beer B．British people used to like drinking slowly C．closing the pubs early will reduce social problems D．British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking 答案：D　推理判断题。由第五段最后一句话“The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”， and it causes longterm health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.可知，binge drinking造成了人们的长期的健康问题和社区暴力问题；该段一开始讲到政府延长了酒馆的营业时间，这就能有效避免这一问题。可以得出结论：政府的目的是减少binge drinking。‎ ‎4．We can see from the last Paragraph that the author ______.‎ A．holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubs B．is against the admission of too many women to the pubs C．thinks that women in the pubs will cause less social problems D．thinks that British pubs should offer everything you need 答案：A　推理判断题。由最后一段，特别是最后一句话“Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.”可知，作者对酒馆持乐观态度。‎ Ⅲ.七选五 ‎(2013·洛阳市二模)‎ If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone.

These two pictures reflect what's going on in our daily life－Some are wasting while some others are starving.‎ We students living in cities always have enough to eat and many of us are not aware of the significance of cherishing the food we have, leading to tons of rice being wasted every day. But when we regard three meals a day as a routine, just think there are students in poor areas who are strugging for food. Before we abondon the food in our plates, we should remind ourselves of the spreading problem of starvation and malnutrition.‎ Considering the serious problem, I hold the view that it's high time that we raised our awareness by taking steps to improve the situation. Just take meals we are about to consume, and treasure what we have and give a hand to those in need. It's everybody's responsibility to make our earth better. Stop wasting food and we are sure to make a diffrence to the world.‎
