Unit 4　Pygmalion Ⅰ.语法单句填空 ‎1．The success of a government should be measured ________terms of the happiness of the people as well as the development of economy.‎ 答案：in　考查短语意义。句意：一个政府的成功，既需要以人们的幸福也需要根据经济的发展来衡量。in terms of“依据；按照”，与句意相符。‎ ‎2．In some languages,100 words make up half of all words ________(use) in daily conversations.‎ 答案：used　本题考查非谓语动词。题意：在一些语言中，100个单词占据了日常对话中所使用的单词中的一半。words后用非谓语动词作定语，words与use之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作定语。‎ ‎3．—I am working on ________ screen adaptation of my latest science fiction.‎ ‎—You can dream of making ________ fortune out of it.‎ 答案：a；a　考查冠词的用法。a screen adaptation“一部改编的荧屏作品”；make a fortune“发财；赚钱”。‎ ‎4．________(drive) by a greater demand for green products, the food company has set higher standards to ensure the quality.‎ 答案：Driven　考查非谓语动词。句意：绿色食品的巨大需求促使食品公司制订了更高的标准以保证质量。动词drive与其逻辑主语the food company之间为动宾关系，因此应该使用过去分词。‎ ‎5．The bank is reported in the local newspaper to ________(rob) in broad daylight yesterday.‎ 答案：have been robbed　sb. reported to do sth.“据报道……”。由 yesterday可知应该用动词不定式的完成式；又因为rob与其逻辑主语the bank之间是动宾关系，故用其动词不定式的被动完成式。‎ ‎6．Generally ________(speak), the living standard in our country has been greatly improved, but there are still some people leading a poor life.‎ 答案：speaking　考查短语意义。句意：总的说来，我们国家人们的生活水平有了很大的改善，但是仍有人生活贫困。generally speaking“总体上来看”，符合句意。‎ ‎7．People ________(mistake) about him, which made him so upset.‎ 答案：were mistaken　考查形容词词义。句意：人们误解了他，这让他很不安。be mistaken about“误解”。‎ ‎8．—He is always picking up very heavy things just to show ________ his strength.‎ ‎—What a man!‎ 答案：off　考查短语意义。show off“炫耀，展示”，符合题意。‎ ‎9．He never hesitated________ (help) those in trouble because he was a kindhearted man.‎ 答案：to help　句意：帮助那些有困难的人他从来都不犹豫，因为他是一个善良的人。否定词＋hesitate to do sth.意为“毫不迟疑地做某事”。‎ ‎10．________(free) from endless homework on weekends, the students now find their own activities, such as taking a ride together to watch the sunrise.‎ 答案：Freed　考查非谓语动词。由于free和其逻辑主语the ‎ students之间是动宾关系，所以用过去分词形式作状语。free在本句中的意思是“解除(负担、义务或限制)”。‎ Ⅱ.阅读理解 ‎(2013·临沂沂水中学模拟)‎ Steven Spielberg was not a scholar, and his classmates teased him. Rather than read, the kid really preferred running around with an ‎8mm camera, shooting homemade movies, which he showed to friends for a small fee.‎ In his first year of high school, he dropped out.

Only when the family moved to another town did he land up in a more suitable high school, where he eventually graduated.‎ After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielherg enrolled in English at California State University at Long Beach. Then in 1965, he recalls, in one of those serendipitous moments, his life took a complete turn. Visiting Universal Studios, he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department. Silvers liked the kid who made ‎8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.‎ He appeared the next day. Spielberg, dressed in a dark suit, carrying his father's briefcase with nothing inside but a sandwich and candy bars walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal and gave him a casual wave. The guard waved back. He was in.‎ ‎“For the entire summer，” Spielberg remembers, “I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writers, including Silvers, who knew the kid wasn't a studio employee, but winked at him. I even found an office that wasn't being used, and became a squatter (擅自占用他人房子的人). I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven Spielberg, Room ‎23C.”‎ It paid off for everyone. Ten years later, the 28yearold Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the biggest grossing movie of all time.
