四、書面表達(dá)結(jié)合課文主題,使用本單元詞匯與句型,根據(jù)提示寫一篇80詞左右的短文1.幾十年前,在一個寒冷、多霧的(misty)早晨,書店的生意很冷清,女銷售員(saleswoman)無聊地坐在店里等顧客。2.而現(xiàn)在,來書店看書的人非常多。3.一群(abunchof)孩子坐在地上看著平板電腦(tablets),沒有人作聲。4.在另一個房間,有一個朗誦會(recital)正在進(jìn)行著。5.時代變了,人們讀書的方式也發(fā)生了很大的變化。______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案和解析一、選詞填空1.dropin2.cameback3.takeover4.poppetewith6.abunchof二、閱讀理解1.C推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中的Iwasalwaysanenthusiasticreader,sometimesreadinguptothreebooksadayasachild...storieswerelikeairtome...可推知，小時候，作者與書形影不離。故選C。2.B詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線詞組前的AsIgrewolder...thelibrarytookonanewplace...及下文的Ihadseveralchildren...toreadtothem.可知，隨著年齡的增長，作者成為母親，圖書館在她心里有了新的“地位”，書成了她和孩子們娛樂的主要來源。由此可推測，原本作者自己從讀書中獲得的樂趣傳遞到了她的家庭中。故“anaddedmeaning”應(yīng)是指“在作者家中傳遞的讀書的樂趣”。故選B。3.C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Ithinkallwritersshouldsupportlibrariesinasignificantwaywhentheycan.可知，作者呼吁其他作者支持圖書館。故選C。4.D標(biāo)題歸納題。閱讀全文可知，library是本文的線索，作者描述了她從孩童到為人母，以及作為小說家對圖書館的熱愛。故D項符合題意。三、語法填空1.calculating?？疾榉侵^語動詞。修飾名詞machine用非謂語動詞,此處用動詞-ing形式表示被修飾語的用途,故填calculating。2.simplify?？疾閯釉~。could后接動詞原形,故填simplify。3.it?？疾楣潭ň湫?。“ittakes/took+一段時間+before+其他成分”是固定句型,表示“花費了多長時間以后才……”,it作形式主語。4.who/that?？疾槎ㄕZ從句引導(dǎo)詞。這里是一個限制性定語從句,先行詞是anoperator,且從句缺少主語,因此要用who或者that來引導(dǎo),故填who/that。5.logically。考查副詞。此處用副詞修飾動詞think,故填logically。6.wrote。考查動詞時態(tài)。根據(jù)時間狀語In1936可知,描述過去發(fā)生的事情,應(yīng)使用一般過去時,故填wrote。7.towork?？疾榉侵^語動詞。分析句子可知,work作make的賓語補(bǔ)足語,make的被動語態(tài)中的賓語補(bǔ)足語用帶to的不定式,故填tow
