選修8Unit 3 Inventors and inventions.閱讀理解Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only ” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a puter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (襯墊) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it es to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforegonean opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my pany and I wouldnt be there. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality(可能發(fā)生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.1.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule ?A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working.C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.2.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _.A. keep her appointment with the eye doctorB. meet her father who was already an old manC. join in the holiday celebration of the panyD. finish her work before the deadline approaching3.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to “_”.A. abandonedB. lackedC. avoidedD. wasted4.What is the best title for the passage ?A. The Emotional Well-beingB. The Two Saddest WordsC. The Most Useful RuleD. The Peace of Mind【文章大意】這篇文章主要講解的是作者對于最悲哀的兩個單詞if only 的理解及看法。1.D 【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段的句子“When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an if only moment,”可知，“extra minute”指的是“在發(fā)生意外之前防患于未然”，D項（在一個東西絆倒某人之前將它拿走）符合。故選D。3.A 【解析】猜測詞義題。根據(jù)foregone 所在句子“We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they hadforegonean opportunity to say I love you or I forgive you.”中的lost及regretted 可知此詞與opportunity 搭配翻譯成“放棄機會”，故選A。4.B 【解析】標題判斷題。根據(jù)第一段第一句話“Two of the saddest words in the English language are if only.”及文章大意，可知本文主要針對最悲哀的兩個單詞if only 展開話題進行講解，故選B。二、完形填空It impressed me a lot.I never thought that little help will _1_ out to be the most satisfying thing I have ever done.He was tired，and _2_ to

phone is running low on power while you are waiting to fly out of an airport.Then you discover a public USB charging area close by. _1_ Then you take a deep breath and sit back, happy to get the power for free.What could go wrong? Plenty.In addition to providing an electrical current, phone charging cords can send and receive data. That free USB charging hub at an airport, hotel or any other public place may not only charge your phone. _2_ The USB charging hub could be connecting to your phone and copying your contact list, email and text messages, voice mail, photographs and videos. It can also copy passwords, banking information and any other information stored on your phone.If you want to charge your phone while traveling, you have other choices that do not increase your risks.Connect your phone only to electrical outlets so data transfer is not possible. _3_ It is better to use a distant wall outlet than a nearby USB charging hub.Carry an extra, fullycharged battery. Having one means you can charge your phone without having to worry about carrying a special cord or finding a power outlet. _4_If you must use a public USB charging center, be sure to turn off your phone pletely._5_ But it will reduce the chances of it happening, depending on what phone you have.ARemember to fully charge your phone before you leave home or work.BIt also could be transferring information to and from the device.CThe public USB charging hub may even download programs to your phone.DThis may or may not prevent data transfer.EYou can charge your phone with the extra battery wherever you are.FAn available outlet may not be as near as a USB charging hub, but the few extra steps may keep your information safe.GYou quickly reach for a charge cord and connect your phone to the charging hub.【解題導語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了在飛機場候機時，給處于低電狀態(tài)的手機安全充電的方法。1G上文說你會發(fā)現(xiàn)附近有一個公共的USB充電區(qū)域，空處下文提到你深吸一口氣，舒服地坐好，為免費充電而高興。所以空處應(yīng)表示你把手機連接到充電口進行充電，故選G項“你很快拿到一根充電線，并把你的手機連接到充電中心”。2B上文說機場、酒店或其他公共場所的免費USB充電中心，不僅可以給你的手機充電，再結(jié)合空后一句可知，空處應(yīng)表示USB充電中心的其他作用。B項提到它還可以把信息傳入或輸出設(shè)備，前后語義銜接，故選B。且B項中的also與空前一句中的not only相呼應(yīng)。3F根據(jù)空處所在段的內(nèi)容可知，本段推薦使用距離稍遠的墻上的電源插座，而不用鄰近的USB充電中心，這樣可以保證手機信息的安全。F項說一個可用的墻上的電源插座可能不像USB充電中心那么近，但是多走幾步可以保證你的信息安全，前后邏輯關(guān)系緊密，故選F。4E本段的主旨是攜帶一個額外的，充滿電的電池，而E項說無論你在哪里，你都可以用這個額外的電池給手機充電，為具體描述，故選E。5D上文提到如果必須使用USB充電中心充電，確保將手機徹底關(guān)機。下文說但這將減少發(fā)生這種情況的機會。故D項“這可能會阻止數(shù)據(jù)傳輸，也可能不會”符合語境。D項中的This指代關(guān)機這個行為，故選D。四、短文改錯Our life today has many problems. One of the biggest problems are pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It killed our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us to talk louder and bee angry more easy. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution, what is bad for living things in the world. We need to do a lot of thing to fight pollution. Factories must clean our waste water before it thrown away. We cant throw waste things on the ground. We can go to work by bus and with our friends in a same car. Everybody must help to fight pollution.【答案】Our life today has many problems. One of the biggest problems ar pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kille our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and bee angry more eas. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution, wha is bad for living things in the world. We need to do a lot of thin to fight pollution. Factories must clean ou waste water before it thrown away. We cant throw waste things on the ground. We can go to work by bus an with our friends in same car. Everybody must help to fight pollution.第一處：are改為is。考查主謂一致。主語one of the biggest problems是單數(shù)，謂語動詞用單數(shù)。第二處：killed改為kills?？疾閯釉~時態(tài)。由and和pollutes可知，應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時態(tài)，因此用kills。第三處：to去掉。考查非謂語動詞。make作使役動詞時，后接省略to的不定式作賓補。第四處：easy改為easily?？疾楦痹~。副詞修飾系動詞bee。第五處：what改為which。考查定語從句。這是一個非限制性定語從句，從句缺主語，which指代前面的air pollution。第六處：thing改為things?？疾槊~。a lot of在這里修飾可數(shù)名詞，故用thing的復數(shù)形式。第七處：our改為their/the?？疾榇~。本句Factories must clean.中主語的是第三人稱，所以water也應(yīng)改被their修飾。同時，the waste water也可以指工廠的廢水。第八處：thrown前加is。考查被動語態(tài)。廢水與排放是被動關(guān)系，故用被動詞態(tài)。第九處：and改為or?？疾檫B詞。本句講的是我們上班可以選用兩種方式中的一種，所以用or表選擇關(guān)系，而and表示兩者都使用，不合理。第十處：a改為the?？疾楣谠~。同一輛車，用the same car。
