Ⅱ.閱讀理解
All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower. A close friend came for a visit the other day. I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.
That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose. I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them. Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!
To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut. Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy such a charming smile?
My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people.
16．The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because ________.
A．she can make money out of them
B．her friends like them
C．she enjoys the roses very much
D．the roses sell well
17．The underlined word “wafted” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to “________”．
A．given off
B．lost
C．destroyed
D．thrown away
18．Why did the writer's close friend refuse to pick a single rose?
A．Because the roses were not beautiful.
B．Because she loved the roses very much.
C．Because she did not like this kind of roses.
D．Because the writer did not want to give her any.
19．What is the best title for the passage?
A．The Pity of People to the Roses
B．A Lover of Flowers
C．A Lovely Rose Garden
D．The Smiling Face of the Earth

答案
課時作業(十七)
Ⅰ.1.C 考查冠詞用法。句意：第一印象最持久。畢竟，你不會再有機會去形成第一印象。第一空后有second，在此表示再一次機會，而不是表順序，應用不定冠詞；第二空中的第一印象是泛指，也不是表示順序，又根據題干可以判斷impression在此處是可數名詞，可數名詞單數表泛指時須用不定冠詞，故選擇C項。
2．A 考查非謂語動詞。句意：他告訴我們是否去野營還在討論當中。分析句子可知“whether ＋to do sth.”作賓語從句的主語，He told us 后省略了賓語從句的引導詞that。
3．B 考查狀語從句。句意：盡管Tim不經常鍛煉，但他身材很好。前后是讓步關系，故選B項。
4．A 考查非謂語動詞。句意：在星期六，比起呆在家里，我情愿去旅游。由“prefer to do…rather than do…”結構便可知A項正確，此處把rather than結構提前了。It being Saturday為獨立主格結構。
5．A 考查動詞短語辨析。句意：“對不起，現在我得掛斷電話了。該上課了。”“好吧，等會兒我再打電話。”hang up意為“猛地掛斷，中止(與某人的)電話交談”，符合語境。break up意為“(集會)結束，解散；(戀愛或婚姻中的男女)分手”；give up意為“放棄；認輸；猜不出，交出；自首；泄露”；hold up意為“舉起，支持，支撐，攔住，耽擱”。
6．B 考查動詞辨析。句意：這所學校通過給大部分孩子提供獲得知識的機會，給予他們對未來的希望。acquire意為“獲得”，符合語境。require意為“要求”；achieve意為“實現”；discover意為“發現”。
7．A 考查動詞的時態。句意：我得去看醫生，因為我近來一直咳嗽得很厲害。根據句子中的lately可知，設空處表示現在的事情，故用現在時態，排除B、C兩項；D項表習慣性動作，故被排除。現在完成進行時表示動作從過去開始，持續到現在且現在還在進行。
8．A 考查省略。句意：如果這些食物好吃，我再去買些。否則，我就不去買了。if not意為“否則”；if any意為“若有的話”；whenever意為“無論什么時候”；無when not這種表達。根據句意，正確答案為A項。
9．B 考查虛擬語氣及固定短語辨析。句意：由于天氣不好，足球賽被要求推遲了。在It is required that…句型中，從句的謂語動詞用“should ＋ 動詞原形”，should可以省略，所以排除C和D兩項。沒有thank to這種用法，所以排除A項，正確答案為B項。
10．C 考查非謂語動詞。rid of 是一個固定搭配，意為“使擺脫；使去掉”。switch from…to…也是固定搭配，意為“從……轉向……”，其中to是介詞，后面需跟名詞或動名詞形式。所以正確答案為C項。
11．D 考查非謂語動詞。句意：她喜歡用手洗衣服而不愿用洗衣機洗。固定表達prefer to do sth. rather than do sth.意為“寧可做……而不做；喜歡做……而不做……”，所以正確答案為D項。
12．D 考查副詞用法。句意：奇怪的是，這兩個人看起來這么相像，以至于幾乎所有人都認為他們是雙胞胎兄弟。too much 后跟不可數名詞或單獨使用，意為“太多”；much too后跟形容詞或副詞原級，意為“太，很”；沒有such much這種表達；so后可跟形容詞或副詞，所以正確答案為D項。
13．B 考查副詞辨析。句意：我敢肯定，戴維已經告訴你他生意上的麻煩。不管怎樣，他欠銀行許多錢不是什么秘密了。anyway意為“無論如何”；however意為“然而”；otherwise意為“否則”；though意為“雖然”。根據句意可知正確答案為B。
14．A 考查動詞的時態。句意：約瑟夫從上個月就開始上夜校，但是他還不會用俄語說“你叫什么名字”。本題從時間狀語“自從上個月開始”可知需用現在完成時，又因為說話時他還在繼續上課，所以要用現在完成進行時。
15．C 考查交際用語。句意：“這張照片我保存行嗎？”“恐怕不行。”答語應為委婉拒絕。A、B、D均不符合題意。
Ⅱ.本文為夾敘夾議文。主要講述了“我”種了一園的玫瑰，朋友來訪時，“我”建議她可以把花摘回，放在屋里，可朋友說玫瑰是地球的笑臉，決不能采摘。
16．C 細節理解題。根據第一段第一句“All over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower.”可知，“我”種玫瑰是因為“我”非常喜歡玫瑰，故選C項。
17．A 詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞所在句“…the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.”可猜出玫瑰的香味應該能散發到很遠，故選A項，give off意為“散發出”。B項意為“遺失，失敗”；C項意為“毀滅”；D項意為“扔掉”。
18．B 推理判斷題。根據第二段第一句“That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there…”以及第三段第三句“Roses are the smiling face of the earth…”可知，作者的這個朋友應該是非常喜歡玫瑰，故選B項。
19．D 主旨大意題。綜觀全文，以及倒數第二段最后一句“Roses are the smiling face of the earth…such a charming smile？”以及最后一段“My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth—it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people.”可知選D項。
