2020届一轮复习人教版必修五Unit 4Making the news单元作业 [单元语法] 在英语中,主语和谓语的语序通常是主语在前,谓语在后,这称之为自然语序。但有时为了修辞需要,谓语需要全部或部分移到主语的前面,这种语序叫倒装。而倒装语序又分为完全倒装和部分倒装。 一、倒装的种类 倒装有两种:完全倒装和部分倒装。在倒装语序中,若整个谓语都在主语之前,称之为完全倒装。若谓语的一部分(通常是助动词、情态动词或 be 动词)位于主语之前,则称之为部分倒装。 二、完全倒装 1.将here,there,now,then等地点或时间副词置于句首,谓语动词是be,come,go,remain,lie,run等,且主语为名词时,用完全倒装。 Look!Here comes a bus.看!有辆公共汽车来了。 Then came a stranger with a black hat. 然后来了一位戴着黑帽子的陌生人。 2.表示运动方向的副词out,in,up,down,away等置于句首,谓语是表示运动的动词,如 leave,walk,run,rush等,且主语为名词时,句子要用完全倒装。 Down came the brown water fall. 棕色的头发瀑布般地披下来。 3.表示地点的介词短语位于句首或强调地点概念或为保持句子平衡,且句子的谓语是表示存在意义的动词(lie,stand,exist,live,sit等)时,要用完全倒装。 In front of the classroom stands a tall tree. 教室的前面有一棵大树。 4.作表语的形容词、分词或介词短语位于句首时,要用“表语+连系动词+主语”结构。 Present at the meeting were some scientists from China.一些来自中国的科学家出席了会议。 5.such作表语,置于句首,意为“……就是如此”。 Such is our lively city,which you are welcome to visit whenever at your convenience. 这就是我们这座充满活力的城市,只要您方便,随时欢迎来参观。 [名师指津] (1)在完全倒装句式中,谓语动词的数要与后面主语的数一致。 Growing all over the mountain are wild flowers. 漫山遍野长满了野花。 There stands a tower on the top of the mountain. 山顶上有座塔。 (2)完全倒装的主语必须是名词,如果主语是人称代词则不用倒装。 Here he comes. 他过来了。 [巧学助记] 巧记完全倒装 副介开头全倒装,遇到代词则照常。 方位方式别遗忘,上下进出往前放。 there,here用得上,时间顺序句首放。 表语句首主语长,句子平衡需倒装。 三、部分倒装 1.表示否定或半否定意义的词或短语no,not,never,hardly,seldom,rarely,little,nowhere,by no means,in no way,at no time,in no case,on no account等置于句首时,句子要用部分倒装。 Little does he realize how important this meeting is. 他对这个会议的重要性不甚了了。 Hardly does she have time to listen to music. 她几乎没时间听音乐。 On no account must you accept any money if he offers it.他如果给你钱,你可绝不能接受。 2.“only+状语”位于句首时,句子用部分倒装。“only+状语从句”位于句首时,主句用部分倒装。 Only then did I understand what she meant. 只有到那时我才明白她的意思。 Only in this way can we learn English well. 只有这样我们才能学好英语。 Only by shouting was he able to make himself heard. 他只有叫喊才能让别人听到他。 [名师指津] 在only后作状语的是从句时,从句不要用倒装,要部分倒装的是主句。 Only when he returned home did he realize what had happened.当他回到家里时,才知道出了什么事。 3.“so/nor/neither+助动词/be动词/情态动词+主语”,意为“某人/某物也如此”,该结构为部分倒装。 He can swim and so can I. 他会游泳,我也会。 The headmaster will not permit the change in the course,nor will he even give it a thought. 校长既不会允许课程上的变革,也不会对其予以考虑。 4.not only...but also...引导两个并列分句,not only置于句首时,not only所在的分句需用倒装,but also所在的分句不用倒装。 Not only does she speak Spanish,but she also knows how to type. 她不但会说西班牙语,还会打字呢。 5.含有no sooner...than,hardly...when,scarcely...when的主从复合句中,no sooner,hardly,scarcely所在的主句倒装,than,when所在的从句不倒装。 Hardly had Mike picked up the ball when another player took it from him. 麦克刚接过球,另一名球员就从他那儿抢走了。 No sooner had I got home than it began to rain. 我刚一到家天就开始下雨了。 6.当as/though表示“尽管”引导让步状语从句时,要把强调的表语、谓语动词、状语放在主语之前。 Try as he would,he couldn’t open the door. 虽然他努力了,却仍打不开那门。 7.虚拟条件句中,把if引导的条件从句中的were,had,should提前,并省去if,也可构成部分倒装结构。 Had he got up earlier,he would have caught the flight. =If he had got up earlier,he would have caught the flight.如果他起的早点话,他就会赶上航班了。 8.在so...that...和such...that...句型中,把so+形容词或副词或把such+名词短语放于句首时,主句使用部分倒装句式。 So suddenly did he catch the disease that the whole family was at a great loss. 他患病突然,全家人全然不知所措。 [巧学助记] 巧记部分倒装 only修饰副介状,位于句首半倒装; 否定意义副连词,位于句首须倒装; so和such放句首,引起主谓要倒装; not only开头句,前一分句须倒装; had,were,should虚拟句,省略if半倒装。 Ⅰ.用倒装结构完成句子 1.There__goes the last bus. 末班公共汽车来了。 2.Away__went the runners. 赛跑选手们跑远了。 3.Such__great__progress__did__he__make that he was praised. 他取得了如此大的进步以至于受到了表扬。 4.So__excited__was__I that I couldn’t wait to try wearing them. 我太激动了,迫不及待地想试穿它。 5.No sooner had__I__entered the office than the phone rang. 我刚进办公室电话铃就响了。 6.Sitting__in__front__of__the__house__is a little girl,who is my little sister. 一个小女孩坐在房子的前面,她是我的妹妹。 7.Only__in__this__way__can__people from all over the world communicate easily and effectively. 只有通过这种方式,来自全世界的人们才能轻松、有效地交流。 8.Not__until__the__river__was__seriously__polluted__did the local government realize the problem. 直到河水被严重污染了,当地政府才意识到这个问题。 Ⅱ.把下面句子改为倒装句 1.A picture is hanging on the wall. →On__the__wall__is__hanging__a__picture. 2.The speaker sat in the front of the lecture hall. →In__the__front__of__the__lecture__hall__sat__the__speaker. 3.Though the night air was hot,we slept deeply. →Hot__though__the__night__air__was,we__slept__deeply. 4.Suddenly the door opened and a woman rushed out. →Suddenly__the__door__opened__and__out__rushed__a__woman. 5.The days are gone when the smog happens so frequently. →Gone__are__the__days__when__the__smog__happens__so__frequently. 6.Though they tried hard,they couldn’t make her change her mind. →Hard__though__they__tried,they__couldn’t__make__her__change__her__mind. 7.She has never seen anybody play tennis so well before. →Never__before__has__she__seen__anybody__play__tennis__so__well. 8.He realized it was the same place he’d been in last year only when he arrived. →Only__when__he__arrived__did__he__realize__it__was__the__same__place__he’d__been__in__last__year. 9.She was so brave that she faced the difficulty bravely. →So__brave__was__she__that__she__faced__the__difficulty__bravely. 10.I did not understand the true state of the affairs until I read your letter. →Not__until__I__read__your__letter__did__I__understand__the__true__state__of__the__affairs.Part Ⅲ Learning about Language & Using Language Ⅰ.重点单词 1.housewife n.家庭主妇 2.crime n.罪行;犯罪 3.department n.部门;部;处;系 4.polish vt.擦亮;磨光;润色 5.process vt.加工;处理 n.过程;程序;步骤 6.edition n.版(本);版次→edit v.编辑→editor n.编辑 7.accurate adj.精确的;正确的→accurately adv.精确地 8.chief adj.主要的;首席的→chiefly adv.首先;首要地 9.appointment n.约会,任命→appoint vt.任命,委派;约定→appointed adj.指定的 10.senior adj.& n.年长的;高年级的;年长者→junior adj.& n.年少的;年少者 11.approve vt.赞成;认可;批准→approval n.赞成;批准 Ⅱ.核心短语 1.get__absorbed__in 致力于 2.defend...against... 保护……不受…… 3.begin__with 以……开始 4.ahead__of 在……前面 5.pass sth on to 把……传递给…… 6.last of all 最后 7.be happy with 对……满意 8.be supposed to 应该 Ⅲ.经典句式 1.Although he realized the man had__been__lying,Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly. 尽管他知道那个人一直在撒谎,但周阳明白他绝不能直接指责那个人。 2.Then as__the__article__was__going__to__be__written in English Zhou Yang also took a copy to the native speaker employed by the newspaper to polish the style. 因为这篇文章要用英文来写,所以周阳拿了一份稿子给一位母语为英语的外国雇员,请她对语言风格进行润饰。 1.联想记单词:由house组成的合成名词 housewife家庭主妇 housekeeper主妇;女管家 housework家务活 2.派生词:名词后缀:-ment,-al ①depart n.分支→department n.部门;部;处;系 ②appoint vt.委任;指定→appointment n.约会;任命 ③approve vt.& vi.赞成;认可;批准→approval n.赞成;同意 阅读清障 ①editor/'edItə/n.编辑 ②get...ready把……准备好 ③edition/I'dIʃn/n.版(本);版次 ④ahead of在……前面 ahead of time 提前 ⑤department/dI'pɑːtmənt/n.部门,部,处,系 ⑥set to work开始工作。与其意义相近的短语有: get down to workset about workingset out to work ⑦task/tɑːsk/n.工作,任务 ※Although在此引导让步状语从句。 ⑧accurate/'ækjʊrət/adj.精确的;正确的 ※“特殊疑问词+不定式”结构作knew的宾语。 ⑨teach sb to do sth教某人做某事 ※who引导定语从句,修饰The first person。 ⑩senior/'siːnIə/adj.年长的;高年级的;高级的 be senior to比……年长 ⑪check/tʃek/v.检查,核查,检验 ⑫copy-editor文字编辑 ⑬main headline主标题 ⑭smaller heading副标题 ※as...English为原因状语从句。 ⑮polish/'pɒlIʃ/vt.擦亮;磨光;润色 ※过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰the native speaker。动词不定式短语作目的状语。 ⑯front page article头版文章 ⑰chief/tʃiːf/adj.主要的;首席的 n.首领;长官 chief editor主编 ⑱approve/ə'pruːv/vt.赞成;认可 ※sure后接省略that的宾语从句。 ⑲excitedly/Ik'saItIdli/adv.兴奋地 ⑳work on从事;忙于。本文中可译作“编排”。 ○21set v.确定,决定;放,置;以……为……设置背景;(日、月)落下;为……谱曲;排版。本文中意为“确定;编排完毕”。 ※until...set为时间状语从句。 ○22process/'prəʊses/vt.加工;处理 n.过程;程序;步骤 ○23negative/'neɡətIv/n.底片;否定 adj.否定的;消极的 ※as引导原因状语从句。 ※when引导时间状语从句。 ○24whisper/'wIspə(r)/v.& n.耳语,低语 in whispers低声地 ※there...news为宾语从句,省略了引导词that。 原文呈现 GETTING THE “SCOOP” “Quick,”said the editor①.“Get that story ready②.We need it in this edition③ to be ahead of④ the other newspapers.This is a scoop.”Zhou Yang had just come back into the office after an interview with a famous film star.“Did he really do that?”asked someone from the International News Department ⑤.“Yes,I’m afraid he did,”Zhou Yang answered.He set to work⑥.

It was an easy job since I’ve been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning,a group of men stood outside,watching me with interest,and I heard one or two of them say:“That’s him!” I was naturally pleased. After a while,an old gentleman entered my office and asked me,“Are you the new editor?” I said I was. “Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?” “No,” I said.“This is my first try.” “I’d like to read you this:‘Turnips(大头菜)should never be pulled;it injures them.It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’” “Now,what do you think of that?” “I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree...” “Shake your grandmother!Turnips don’t grow on trees!” “Oh,they don’t?Well,who said they did?The language was intended to be figurative(比喻的).” Then this old person tore his paper into pieces,and went out. Pretty soon after this,the editor came in,looking sad and confused. He said,“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature?You talk of the moulting(换羽毛)season for cows;and you say that clams(蛤蜊)will lie quiet if music were played to them.Nonsense!Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music.Ah,heavens and earth,friend!Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t know anything about agriculture?” 【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了作者接下一份农业报代理编辑的工作,并编出一份让人啼笑皆非的报纸的经历。 1.How did the author feel at the first sight of the men?

There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people only read the sports pages, the advice or the gossip columns, the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements. Most people don’t take time to read real news. Newspapers attempt to catch the reader’s interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look. If the headline is horrible enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page. However, they may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper any more. They say they get the news on television now. More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you think it is easier to get news from television? Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news? 【语篇解读】 现如今网络的发展对纸质报纸的冲击很大。本文作者呼吁大家更多地关注报纸。 25.According to the passage, newspapers are ________. A. more popular today B. less popular today C.as popular as before D. getting more and more popular 答案 B [细节理解题。关键是理解文章的第一句话,由此可知报纸的地位已不如从前。] 26. According to the author, which of the following newspapers will most probably attract the reader’s attention? A. The ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front page. B. The ones with sports news on the front page. C. The ones with classified ads on the front page. D. The ones with gossip columns on the front page. 答案 A [推理判断题。由第一段第五句可知,新闻往往用一些图片和令人感兴趣的标题来吸引读者注意。] 27. According to the passage, most people read all of the following EXCEPT ________. A. the sports page B. comics C. advertisements D. real news 答案 D [细节理解题。根据文章第一段的第三、四句可以找到答案。] 28. The author’s attitude towards newspapers is ________. A. sympathetic B. critical C. negative D. undetermined 答案 A [作者态度题。由文章的第一句话可知,作者对报纸今非昔比的状况有点感慨,作者认为报纸应该受到人们更多的关注。] C Many people write to newspapers and magazines to express their opinions. Letters to the editor must carry the writer’s full name, address and telephone number, although the information is not necessary for publication. This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say. When a writer wants his voice heard, he needs to claim ownership of his voice. Responsibility is the name of the game. “People today prefer living together to putting their signatures on a marriage certificate because they refuse to accept the responsibility for the relationship,”said a social worker,“and this is what is causing a lot of family problems.” When we sign a paper, for example, a business contract or a bank document,the signature is a seal of consent, an agreement to take the matter seriously. Most governments and many organizations will not process written complaints if they do not bear the writer’s signature. The absence of a signature, they explain, tells us that the writer cannot be too serious and therefore does not deserve a reply. There are people who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的) for various reasons. Multi-billionaire Mr King donates generously to charity several times a year. He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news. In other cases, people insist on anonymity because they are afraid of the consequences of revealing their identity. Crime witnesses may be willing to assist the police, but most are unwilling to give their names when reporting a crime. Name or no name? The answer is very personal and lies in how much we want to get involved. We all have a name. It is a matter of responsibility to use it when we make a statement, a claim or an accusation. We all want to honor our own name, and it is only by stamping our expression of an opinion with our own name that we honor what we say. 【语篇解读】 在报刊上发表文章要写上自己的名字,这个名字不简单,它有很多意义,首先你要对你说的话负责,其次你对发表的内容有所有权。但名字在各种场合的签与不签意义不同。 29.What does the writer mean by saying “Responsibility is the name of the game.”? A. Writers need to provide their personal information in the game. B. Publication must bear the writer’s full name, address and phone number. C. Writers should be responsible for their names. D. Names are required to indicate writers’ responsibility for what they say. 答案 D [细节理解题。根据第一段的This requirement to provide personal particulars is a clear indication that writers are held responsible for what they say.可知,作者对他们说的话要负责,即为D项表述的意思。] 30. Some people don’t want their names known because they are ________. A. hesitant to make a donation B. unwilling to draw public attention C. afraid of an accusation D. ready for involvement 答案 B [细节理解题。根据第三段的He gives simply because he wants to help but not for the publicity his donations may bring, and he does not want his good deeds to make news.可知,有些人匿名把钱捐给慈善机构,是不想引起公众的关注,这和B项的表述一致。] 31. The passage is mainly about ________. A. honor and writers B. identity and signature C. signature and responsibility D. anonymity and signature 答案 C [主旨大意题。整篇文章围绕名字和责任展开,投稿需要署名,签文件和合同需要签名,名字就意味着责任。] D Making it to the Scripps National Spelling Bee (a spelling competition) is an amazing achievement for any kid, but for 11-year-old Neil Maes, being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely. After receiving cochlear implants (人工耳蜗)in both ears as a baby, he had to train his brain to understand spoken words. It took countless hours of speech therapy (疗法). “We didn’t even know that he’d be able to talk,”said his mother, Christy Maes. Now the soft-spoken kid from Belton, South Carolina is officially one of the nation’s top young spellers. He earned the right to take the stage in the final rounds of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Neil’s parents have always given him a tip,coaching him to always ask the pronouncer for the meaning of a word,so that he can be sure he heard it correctly. Most contestants do this anyway. “He’s able to spell very difficult words. You tell him,‘Spell this word,’and he’s able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word It’s actually quite impressive,”said Dr. Michael Hoa,who performed Neil’s cochlear implantation.“There’s a lot that goes into training your brain to do that.” Neil’s parents didn’t know he was taking part in a spelling bee with his third-grade class until he came home and told them he had won. He made it all the way to his regional(地区的)bee that year,finishing second. Now a naturally shy fifth-grader,Neil is already worn out from the busy bee-week schedule,but he seems happy. “Our main hope out of all of this was to encourage people that are going to be facing what we had to face,”Christy said. But Neil said coming to the bee has motivated (激发)him to study even harder,so he can return next year. “It’s just fun and I want to do it again,” Neil said. 【语篇解读】 本文是一则新闻报道。文章主要介绍了一名失聪儿童参加拼字比赛的故事。 32. What makes it difficult for Neil to enter the competition? A. He is naturally shy. B. He is unable to talk. C. He has a hearing disability. D. He is undergoing medical treatment. 答案 C [细节理解题。根据第一段中的for 11-year-old Neil Maes,being born deaf made his journey especially unlikely可知,由于Neil天生失聪,因此参加拼字比赛对他来说显得尤其艰难。] 33. What does the underlined word “it” (in Para.5) refer to? A. The tip from Neil’s parents. B. The coach’s pronunciation. C. The meaning. D. The word. 答案 D [篇章结构题。根据上文内容可知,Neil是一名有听力障碍的孩子,因此在参加比赛时,父母让他每次都请求考官给出单词的定义,这样便于Neil核实自己是否听准了所要拼写的单词。] 34. What did Michael think of Neil? A. He’s amazing. B. He’s very lucky. C. He should study harder. D. He should use his imagination. 答案 A [推理判断题。根据Michael医生在第六段中说的he’s able to actually imagine what that sounds like in his head and spell the word. It’s actually quite impressive和There’s a lot that goes into training your brain to do that可知,他认为Neil非常了不起。] 35. What’s the best title for the text? A. Hard training will finally pay off B. We can do more for disabled children C. Spelling bees are becoming more popular D. Deaf 11-year-old competes in National Spelling Bee 答案 D [标题归纳题。文章第一段就点明了文章的主题:11岁失聪儿童参加全国拼字比赛,下文围绕该话题继续展开。由此可知,D项概括了文章主旨,适合做文章标题。] 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Creating a reader-friendly home A home filled with reading material (材料) is a good way to help kids become enthusiastic (热情的) readers.
