Unit 3 A healthy life李仕才一、閱讀理解。The American travel website company TripAdvisor publishes a list of the worlds best beaches every year.Today，we are going to explore some of this years top 10 beaches in the world.1Baia do Sancho，BrazilIt is named as this years best beach in the world.Its water is calm and clear.Its sand is fine and soft.But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy.It is on Fernando de Noronha，a volcanic island more than 300 kilometers off Brazils coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time.2Grace Bay，Turks and CaicosWhile Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to，TripAdvisors secondranked beach could not be much easier for tourists to reach.This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming，snorkeling，or simply floating.Once on land，many visitors enjoy walkingbarefootfor several kilometers on the soft，warm sand.3Eagle Beach，ArubaTo get to the thirdbest beach，we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay，Eagle Beach has clear，calm waters and soft white sand.It offers visitors a chance to try different water sports，including tubing and jet skiing.Eagle Beach may be best known，however，for its dramatic sunsets.On clear nights，the sky turns red，orange，and purple.4Playa Paraiso，CubaThe fourthbest beach is Playa Paraiso，an island off Cubas southern coast.It has a fun，laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink.There is little else on the beach.And that is exactly what visitors like about it.People come here for the sugarlike sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.1Which of the following is true about Baia do Sancho?AIt receives thousands of visitors each time.BIt can only be visited by plane.CIt is near the Brazils coast.DIt is hard to reach.2Where can visitors go if they want to enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun?ABaia do Sancho，Brazil.BGrace Bay，Turks and Caicos.CEagle Beach，Aruba.DPlaya Paraiso，Cuba.3What can visitors mainly do on Playa Paraiso，Cuba?AGo boating.BHave a relaxing dinner.CAdmire colorful sand.DTry different water sports.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。美國(guó)一家旅游網(wǎng)站介紹了四個(gè)年度世界排名前四的海灘。【難句分析】People come here for the sugarlike sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife.分析：這是一個(gè)復(fù)雜的簡(jiǎn)單句。過去分詞短語filled with colorful wildlife作waters的后置定語。譯文：人們?yōu)榱讼裆疤且粯拥纳匙雍统錆M豐富多彩的野生動(dòng)植物的平靜的水域而來到這里。1D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“Baia do Sancho”及第二段中的“But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知，Baia do Sancho比較難到達(dá)，所以選D。2C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known，however, for its dramatic sunsets”可知，Eagle Beach有令人印象深刻的日落，與題干的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表達(dá)的意思相一致，所以選C。3B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段句子“It has a fun，laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知，在Playa Paraiso能夠享用令人放松的晚餐，所以選B。二、語法填空。A survey showed a child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wants, will always put himself first. He will be ignorant _1_ his parents efforts. When he starts work, he _2_ (assume) that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he will never know the sufferings of his _3_ (employ) and will always blame others.For this kind of person, _4_ may be good academically and may be _5_ (success) for a while, eventually he will not feel the sense of achievement. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing love or are we destroying our children instead? You can let your children live in _6_ big house, eat a good meal, learn the piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience _7_.After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters.

You want them _9_ (understand), no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow gray.The most important things are that your children learn _10_ to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and learn how to work with others to get things done.1_ 2._ 3._ 4._ 5._ 6._ 7._ 8._ 9._ 10._ 篇章導(dǎo)讀：本文是一篇說明文。研究表明被溺愛的孩子往往會(huì)很自私，因此讓孩子適度體驗(yàn)生活的艱難對(duì)他們會(huì)有好處。1of考查介詞。此處指他會(huì)忽視父母的努力。be ignorant of sth. “不知道，不了解”。2will assume考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。根據(jù)語境，此處指的是還未發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，從句“When he starts work”用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主句應(yīng)用一般將來時(shí)。下文中的“when he becomes a manager, he will never know the sufferings . ”亦是提示。3employees考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。他永遠(yuǎn)也不會(huì)知道他下屬的痛苦。空前的“his”表明，此處應(yīng)用名詞，且此處用名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式表泛指。4who考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處引導(dǎo)定語從句，修飾先行詞person，并在定語從句中作主語，故用who。5successful考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，空處在句中作表語，故用形容詞successful。6a考查冠詞。此處指讓你的孩子住在一個(gè)大房子里，表泛指，故用不定冠詞，結(jié)合空后的big可知，應(yīng)填a。7it考查代詞。你割草時(shí)讓他們來體驗(yàn)一下。此處用it指代割草這件事。8because考查連詞。這樣做并不是因?yàn)槟銢]錢雇女仆?？蘸蠼忉尩氖窃颍视胋ecause。注意：本句為省略的強(qiáng)調(diào)句，只能用because，不用since/as/for。9to understand考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。want sb.to do sth.為固定用法，意為“想要某人做某事”。10how考查疑問詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，此處是“疑問詞不定式”結(jié)構(gòu)作賓語，且表示“如何”，故用how。三、完形填空。It was an unforgettable weekend.I had a great time at the 1

It was bought with the money I had been saved for months. Too upset was I that I could hardly concentrate in what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked if or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my pockets while I was walking. And fortunately, a young lady walked behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave them to him.How excited and how deep moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.答案：This morning I lost my MP3 player on my way to school. It was bought with the money I had saved for months. upset was I that I could hardly concentrate what the teacher was saying. After class, my head teacher called me out and asked or not I had lost something. It turned out that my MP3 player slipped out of my while I was walking. fortunately, a young lady behind me noticed it. She found the school guard and gave to him.How excited and how moved I was to get my MP3 player back! I want to be kind person like the lady.難項(xiàng)分析：第一處：去掉been考查動(dòng)詞的語態(tài)。此句中the money為先行詞，其后為省略了關(guān)系詞which/that的定語從句。從句中I和save之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以此處不能用被動(dòng)語態(tài)。第四處：ifwhether考查賓語從句。asked后的句子是賓語從句。賓語從句可用if/whether “是否”來引導(dǎo)，但whether可與or not連用，if則不可，故應(yīng)將if改為whether。第十處：kind前加a考查冠詞。person為可數(shù)名詞，且此處表泛指，故其前應(yīng)加不定冠詞，表示“一個(gè)善良的人”。五、七選五。While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill feeling between individuals. 1._ Touching Someone2_ In Mediterranean countries, if you dont touch someones arm when talking to them or if you dont greet them with kisses or a warm hug, youll be considered cold.
