1、 Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note 李仕才 一、閱讀理解 Vinegar makes salad, fries and dumplings taste better, and you can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change. Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable

2、Resource Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vinegar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean that in the future, worries about climate change affecting the world’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was made after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis,

3、 a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It was found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸鹽）—the main component of vinegar. After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by adding acetate to the soil of ot

4、her plants, before they stopped giving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 days, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived, while the untreated plants had dried up and died. It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be used to help farmers in dry

5、countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine. Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch

6、 with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping thirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over them, Kim said he and his team are

7、working on making the process as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate with some farmers, and also some companies, to make a method to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who always forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the e

8、nd of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died. 1.What is the article mainly about? A. The world’s food supply will be increased. B. Plants better survive droughts. C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts. D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts. 2.It was di

9、scovered that acetate can . A. be used by farmers to replace soil B. only be produced by the Arabidopsis C. help plants survive dry conditions D. be used to improve poor soil 3.What are the target plants of the experiment? A. all breeding species. B. wheat and Arabidopisis. C.

10、 rice and maize. D. rapeseed and Arabidopisis. 4.Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method . A. can make people’s trips pleasant B. turned out a worldwide success C. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plants D. appeals to many flower growing companies 【文章大意】 本文屬于科

11、普類文章。醋不僅使食物味道更好，還可以用它來清潔你的窗戶。研究發(fā)現(xiàn)醋中生長的植物，使它們更耐干旱。 1.D 【解析】主旨大意題。通讀全文可知本文主要講述了醋能讓植物在干旱的環(huán)境中生存，即能抗擊干旱，故選D。 3.C 【解析】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段中的“In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed,”可知在實驗中，主要針對大米，小麥和玉米等。故選C。 4.D 【解

12、析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的第一句“Kim…h(huán)e’s already been in touch with people all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing companies to amateur gardeners”分析本句可知Kim已與對此感興趣的花卉種植公司聯(lián)系，也就是吸引這些公司。故選D。 二、完形填空 Yesterday I was walking along a

19、the pedestrian crossing, selling toys. 分析：本句是一個復(fù)合句。句中when引導(dǎo)時間狀語從句；standing near the pedestrain crossing是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作賓語補足語；selling toys是現(xiàn)在分詞短語作伴隨狀語。 譯文：昨天，我正沿著一條繁華的街道走時突然注意到一名年輕男子站在人行道交叉口附近賣玩具。 1．A.ignore B．look C．pause D．help 答案與解析：A根據(jù)下文的“hurry past such sellers”可知，作者在這種情況下通常是不理會、匆忙走過

28、h serious consequences for the future of fish and other sea life. 1 One is the simple fact that as water gets warmer，it can hold less dissolved(溶解的)oxygen.The other reason is less obvious.The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface—either from the atmosphere，or from photosynthesizing alga

29、e floating at the top of the sea. 2 Global warming is expected to reduce the mixing of the ocean by making surface seawater lighter.Thats because in a warmer world we can expect more rainfall and more melting(融化)of glaciers，icebergs，and ice sheets. 3 The extra heat from the warming atmosphere

30、 will also make surface water expand and thus make it lighter still. 4 Instead，more of the oxygen will remain near the surface，where it will be used up by oxygenbreathing organisms. A lowoxygen ocean may become an inescapable feature of our planet.A team of Danish researchers wondered how long o

31、xygen levels would drop if we could somehow reduce our carbon dioxide emissions to zero by 2100.They determined that over the next few thousand years oxygen levels would continue to fall，until they declined by 30 percent.The oxygen would slowly return to the oceans，but even 100，000 years from now th

F．The light surface water will be less likely to sink so the deep ocean will get less oxygen. G．If they are right，we have every reason to worry about the major effect it has on sea life

34、. 【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章簡要介紹了海水中氧氣含量主要原因及其可能對海洋生物帶來的長期的影響。 1．B　[從文章篇章結(jié)構(gòu)分析，本空為段落主旨句。本段介紹了全球變暖使海洋含氧量降低的原因，并且“One”“The other reason”與B項中的“two reasons”相呼應(yīng)，故選B。] 2．D　[根據(jù)段落主旨和空前的“The entire ocean gets its oxygen from the surface...at the top of the sea.”可知，此處是通過說明海洋中氧氣的來源與循環(huán)來解釋海洋含氧量下降的原因的，故D項“然后，隨著表層海水的慢慢下沉，

35、氧氣擴散至海洋深處”符合語境。] 3．C　[根據(jù)空前的內(nèi)容和常識可知，雨水和冰川、冰山及冰原融水都屬于淡水，海洋中的水是咸水，而淡水的密度比咸水的小，因此淡水的注入會使海洋表面的水變得更輕。故C項符合語境。C項中的“make the water...lighter”與下文中的“make it lighter”的對應(yīng)關(guān)系亦是提示。] 4．F　[根據(jù)空前的“The extra heat from the warming atmosphere will ...”和空后的“Instead，more of the oxygen will remain...”可知，F(xiàn)項與空前的句子的句式相同，且與空后

36、的句子的內(nèi)容存在語意上的轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，故F項符合語境。] 5．G　[G項中的“they”與上文中的“A team of Danish researchers”相呼應(yīng)，且上文講到即使我們把二氧化碳的排放降低到零，海洋含氧量也需要很長時間才能恢復(fù)，其對海洋生物造成的影響將是長期的，故G項“如果他們是對的，那么我們完全有理由對它對海洋生物的重大影響感到擔(dān)憂”符合語境。 ] 四、短文改錯 Dear Lisa， Im glad to receive your letter asked about the present holiday life of Chinese students. Le

37、arning together with entertainment still take up most of our time.Besides，we often help our parents with the housework or farm work，that makes us realize how hard we work every day and develop a great love for work.Meanwhile，we take active part in social activities，such as voluntary work.

39、ut the present holiday life of Chinese students. Learning together with entertainment still up most of our time.Besides，we often help our parents with the housework or farm work， makes us realize how hard work every day and develop a great love for work.Meanwhile，we take active part in soc

40、ial activities，such as voluntary work. We out to the streets to collect or to the hospitals to cheer up the sick children.We try our best to help those who are in need make our hometown a lot more beautiful. We find pleasure in these activities. Yours， Li Ming 第一處：asked→asking。考查非謂語動詞。我很高興收到

41、你詢問中國學(xué)生目前的假日生活的來信。ask和其邏輯主語letter之間是主動關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用現(xiàn)在分詞作定語。 第二處：take→takes?？疾橹髦^一致。學(xué)習(xí)和娛樂仍然占據(jù)了我們大部分的時間。此處是together with連接的名詞在句中作主語，謂語動詞應(yīng)與句子原來的主語Learning保持一致，即應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)，故改為takes。 第三處：that→which?？疾槎ㄕZ從句。此外，我們經(jīng)常幫助我們的父母做家務(wù)或者干農(nóng)活，這使我們意識到他們每天工作得多努力。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在此引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句，指代前面的整個句子，故用which。注意：that不能引導(dǎo)非限制性定語從句。 第四處

42、：we→they?？疾榇~。根據(jù)語境可知，此處指代的是上文中的“our parents”，故應(yīng)用they。 第五處：在active前加an?？疾楣谠~。同時，我們積極參加社會活動，比如志愿工作。take an active part in為習(xí)慣用法，表示“積極參加……”。 第六處：went→go。考查時態(tài)。我們?nèi)ソ稚鲜占蛘呷メt(yī)院安慰生病的孩子們。全文的基本時態(tài)是一般現(xiàn)在時，故此處應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時。 第七處：rubbishes→rubbish?？疾槊~。rubbish表示“垃圾”，是不可數(shù)名詞，沒有復(fù)數(shù)形式，故改為rubbish。 第八處：or→and?？疾檫B詞。由語境可知，此處表示并

43、列的順承關(guān)系，故用and表示“和，與”。or表示選擇關(guān)系，意為“或，或者”。 第九處：去掉of。考查固定搭配。此處指使我們的家鄉(xiāng)變得更加美麗。根據(jù)句中的“more”可知，此處修飾比較級，故應(yīng)用a lot。a lot of表示“許多”，修飾名詞。 第十處：greatly→great?？疾楦痹~。在這些活動中，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)了極大的樂趣。此處修飾名詞pleasure，故應(yīng)用形容詞。 6EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F3756EDBC3191F2351DD815FF33D4435F375
