Unit4 Making the news单元练习

 

Ⅰ.单句语法填空

 

1．No sooner had Mo Yan stepped on the stage __than__ the audience broke into thunderous applause.

 

解析：句意：莫言刚踏上舞台，观众就爆发出了雷鸣般的掌声。no sooner...than...一……就…，no sooner位于句首时，应进行部分倒装，且动作发生在掌声爆发之前，故用过去完成时。

 

2．Don't defend him any more.It's obvious that he __deliberately__(deliberate) destroyed the fence of the garden even without apology.

 

解析：句意：不要再为他辩护了，很明显，他是故意破坏花园的围墙的，甚至连道歉都没有。deliberately故意地。

 

3．I have an appointment __with__ Dr.Smith, but I need to change it.

 

解析：本题考查固定搭配。句意：我跟史密斯先生有个约会，但是我得改一下。have an appointment with sb.跟某人有约，为固定搭配。

 

4．What are you doing out of bed, Tom? You're__supposed__(suppose) to be asleep.

 

解析：句意：汤姆你在床下干什么？你应该睡觉了。be supposed to相当于should，“应该，应当”，符合题意。

 

5．Leave your key with your neighbor __in__ case you lock yourself out one day.

 

解析：本题考查连词的用法。句意：留一把钥匙给你的邻居，以防某天你把自己锁在外面。in case“以防，万一”。

 

6．Hard __as/though__ they tried, they couldn't make her change her mind.

 

解析：考查as引导让步状语从句。as/though使用让步状语从句，使用部分倒装，其倒装结构为：过去分词、形容词、名词、副词、动词原形＋as/though＋主语＋谓语。句意：尽管他们努力劝说，还是不能改变她的心意。

 

7．—I reminded you not to forget the lecture.

—So you __did__.

 

解析：考查学生对“so＋主语＋助动词”结构的掌握情况。 句意：——“我提醒你不要忘记这个讲座。”——“你确实提醒了。”“so＋主语＋助动词”表示对某人说法的认可。

 

8．A turning point of the continuously high housing price won't appear suddenly because there must be a certain process __where__ many factors lead to the change.

 

解析：考查定语从句。分析句子成分可知，“________many factors lead to the change”是定语从句，a certain process为先行词，表示抽象地点，在从句中作地点状语，故空处用where。

 

9．You should get down to your study from now on.Please concentrate __on__ what is of great importance for your future development.

 

解析：句意：从现在起你应该开始认真学习了，请专心于对你未来的发展非常重要的事情。concentrate on专心于……，符合句意。

 

10．I didn't approve __of__ his action, but he explained his reason and then I saw the light.

 

解析：我不赞同他的行为，但是他解释了他的理由，然后我就明白了。

 

11．—How are things going，Janet?

—They have set out to deal with the present situation __which/that__they think deserves their immediate attention.

解析：考查定语从句。句意：——情况怎么样，Janet？——他们已经着手处理目前的情况，他们认为这值得他们及时关注。分析句子成分可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词为the present situation，从句中they think为插入语，从句中缺少主语，故应用关系代词which或that引导。

 

12．The news caused heated discussion online, with people __accusing__ (accuse) the government __of__ using the expensive project to build up its political image.

 

解析：考查非谓语动词与动词短语。句意：这个消息引起了网上的激烈争论，人们指责政府利用耗资巨大的工程来树立自己的政治形象。根据题干可知，此处考查“with＋宾语＋宾补”的结构，在这个结构中，宾补可以是to do/doing/done的形式。当宾语和补语之间是主动关系，并且补语动作尚未发生时，宾补用to do形式；如果已经发生则用doing；如果宾语与补语之间是被动关系，则用done形式。本句话中补语动词accuse与宾语people之间是主动关系，同时accuse sb.of是固定短语，意为“指控某人......”。

 

13．Being a student, you should concentrate __on__ your study instead of addicting yourself to computer games.

 

解析：concentrate on专心于......。

 

14．Finally, my thanks go to my tutor, __who__ has offered a lot of suggestions and comments on my paper and polished every page of my draft.

 

解析：定语从句中缺少主语。

 

15．Generally speaking, a political leader should have a good nose __for__ current affairs.

 

解析：考查短语。have a good nose for...对……有敏锐的嗅觉。

 

 

Ⅱ. 完成句子

2．John was eager to know the result of the exam, so he __demanded_to_be_told_ everything__ (要求被告知一切) about it.

 

3．The boss appointed Mr.White to be manager and __never_would_he_forget_it__(他永远都忘不了)．

 

4．The editor __kept_it_in_mind__(记住了这件事) that he would publish the events as soon as possible.

 

5．The manager __was_accused_of__(被控诉) not having arranged an formal interview as planned.

 

6．Not only __did_they_set_out_to_raise_money__(他们开始着手筹钱了)，but they also got a helping hand from the charity, which relieved their present pressure.

 

7．__It_must_be_kept_in_mind_that__(一定要记住的是) there's no secret of success but hard work.

 

8．__Gone_are_the_days_when__(这种日子一去不返了) he depended on his parents for everything.

 

9．__With_the_agreement_reached__(随着协议的签署), all the nations agreed to work together to defend themselves against terrorism and other threats.

 

10．Mary didn't have an appointment with the doctor, and __neither_did_her_deskmate__(她的同桌也没有)．

 

Ⅲ. 单句改错

 

1．Had I informed him the exact time for the meeting earlier，he wouldn't have been late yesterday.

__him后加of__

 

2．It is often the case，solving one problem can cause or uncover another.

__It→As__

 

3．The manager demanded that the workers worked extra hours to complete the task ahead of time.

__worked→work__

 

4．A survey done recently shows that not all parents approve their children taking part in the weekend classes.

__approve后加of__

 

5．You can depend on that such a boring thing will never happen again.

__that前加it__

__I_have→have_I__

 

Ⅳ. 教材原句

 

1．We're __delighted__ (delight) you're coming to work with us.

 

解析：考查形容词delighted的用法。

 

2．You'll have a __professional__ (profession) photographer with you to take photographs.

 

解析：a professional photographer“一个专业的摄影师”。

 

3．So you may be able to concentrate __on__ photography later if you're interested.

 

解析：concentrate on“集中；全神贯注于”。

 

4．You have to prepare the next question depending on __what__ the person says.

 

解析：宾语从句中缺少says的宾语，故填what。

 

5．But how can I listen carefully while __taking__ (take) notes?

 

解析：考查状语从句的省略。主、从句主语一致，且主语I与take为主动关系，故填taking。

 

6．A footballer was accused __of__ taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.

 

解析：accuse sb.of...“控告/指责某人……”。

 

7．We need it in this edition to be ahead __of__ the other newspapers.

 

解析：ahead of“在……前面”。

 

8．__Although__ he realized the man had been lying, Zhou Yang knew he must not accuse him directly.

 

解析：句意：尽管周扬意识到这个人在撒谎，但他知道他不可以直接控告他。

 

9．He checked the evidence，read the article and __passed__ (pass) it on to the copy­editor.

 

解析：此处是三个动作连用。and连接并列成分，由checked、read可知空处也应为过去时，故填passed。

 

10．Zhou Yang waited __excitedly__ (excited) for the first copies to be ready.

 

解析：修饰动词waited应用副词形式，故填excitedly。
