第一部分　必修五　Module 4

　　Ⅰ.语法填空，单句训练

　　1．(2024·合肥模拟改编)Hospital doctors don't go out very often as their work takes________ almost all their time.

　　答案：up　考查动词短语。句意：由于工作占用了几乎所有的时间，医生们不常出去。take up“占用(时间)，占据(空间)”，符合句意。

　　2．(2024·青岛模拟改编)There is no need ________(rush) and it's no use ________(arrive) there too early.

　　答案：to rush; arriving　考查固定句式。句意：无需匆忙，太早到那儿也没用。There's no need to do...“不需要做……”；It's no use doing...“做……没用”。

　　3．I picked up a copybook in the schoolyard yesterday ________(mark) with name and class.

　　答案：marked　由句意可知，此处指“标有姓名和班级的一个抄写本”，过去分词短语作定语修饰copybook。

　　4．(2024·天津模拟改编)The general manager insisted that the meaningless argument come to________end.

　　答案：an　句意：总经理坚持认为毫无意义的争论应该停止。come to an end“停止”。

　　5．(2024·潍坊模拟改编)The builders ________(extend) the road for three more miles.

　　答案：consisting　句意：由30名学生组成的夏令营将赴北京并在那儿待上三周。consist of“由……组成”。此处consisting of为现在分词短语作定语，相当于“ which consists of”。

　　7．(2024·柳州模拟改编)—Why don't we choose that road to save time?

　　—The bridge to it ________(repair)．

　　答案：is being repaired　考查时态。上下文语境表明讨论的是现在的情况，不选择那条路，是因为通往那条路的桥正在被修理，故用一般现在时的被动语态。

　　8．My ________ must be playing tricks on me. I'm sure I put that book on the desk.

　　答案：memory　考查名词。句意：我的记忆肯定在捉弄我，我确信我把那本书放在桌子上了。memory“记忆”，符合句意。

　　9．(2024·泰安模拟改编)Tom found a ________(hide) place in the trees to keep himself ________(hide) from the enemy.

　　答案：hiding; hidden　句意：汤姆在树林里找到一个藏身之处以把自己掩藏起来躲过敌人。a hiding place“躲藏处”；keep sb./sth. hidden“把……藏起来”，均为固定搭配。

　　10．He pretended ________(read) an important paper when the boss entered.

　　答案：to be reading　考查不定式的时态。句意：老板进来时他假装正在看一份重要的文件。由句意可知，老板进来时他假装正在看文件，所以要用不定式的进行时态。

　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　Parents are creating an “I want it now” generation by indulging children's every demand at Christmas, say experts. Youngsters are becoming increasingly selfish, claim the education analysts.

　　Consumer—savvy children are forcing their families into racking up huge debts and risk becoming spoilt and dissatisfied in the future.

　　Behavioural consultant Chris Calland said, “Parents are desperate to make Christmas into a magical fairy tale for their kids. There's nothing wrong with that as such. The problem arises when it means always giving into all our children's demands—even if they are beyond our price range or not age-appropriate.”

　　Ms. Calland, who runs “Santa Says No” style sessions with colleague Nicky Hutchinson, added, “Many of us go into so much debt providing the gifts our children want that we spend the rest of the year paying off the bills. Yet so often the parcels we've carefully wrapped, once opened, are just pushed away because the very thing our little boy or girl was once so desperate for, they have now lost interest in.”

　　Ms. Calland and Ms. Hutchinson have drawn up a list of guidelines to help parents manage their offspring's Christmas lists this year. They say that adults can actually improve their relationships with their children by resisting “pester (纠缠) power”．

　　Ms. Calland said, “All too often we say yes because we want an easier life when the fact is that we're only building up problems for the future. We are helping create a generation of youngsters who are blind to the needs of others and the necessity of hard work.”

　　“Children learn fast—if we sometimes change our mind, they quickly realise it might be worth lying on the floor and screaming for it. Make sure you and your partner are working together on this. Be consistent. And try not to get caught up in competition with other families or friends.”
