Unit 1 A land of diversity
一、阅读理解。
As my husband，Doug，stood on the busy New York city street trying to stop a
cab, I angled the stroller(婴儿车)away from the cold December wind and rain.I knelt
down and kissed my daughter on her cheek where veins crept up(静脉突出)the side of
her tiny face.
Frustrated and wet，my husband gave up his attempt to flag down a cab.I knew
the feeling.Just after her first birthday，our daughter Katie was diagnosed with
a rare brain disorder.Since that moment，Doug and I felt like runners in a marathon
race where the finish line kept disappearing.We knew Katie was running out of time.It
had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder，vein of Galen
malformation，but we were told only a handful of specialists in the world were
qualified to perform the precise surgeries.Now，as we finally found a brilliant
doctor to save our girl，we were trapped in a strange city in the cold rain.
Just at the moment，a middleaged woman pulled over and said，“Pardon me？May I offer you a ride？”
Before we could say anything，she continued，“It's really no trouble for me.Just
get on.”
It was then that I noticed her thick Irish tongue，an accent that warmed me like
hot soup.
We could simply say，“Thanks！Roosevelt Hospital，please，” and settled in
her car for the ride.
I don't know how she knew，maybe she noticed the veins and asked，“Are you going
for the baby？”
I nodded my head，choking back a tiny sob.
At the hospital we thanked her a dozen times for the ride.The woman hugged me
and I noticed her face was wet with tears in worry.She promised to pray for us before
she left.
After three more visits to New York and two more brain surgeries，Katie is
cured.But the voice of the Irish Angel still rang as a constant reminder of a tiny
ray of light that appeared on our darkest days.

【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者的女儿患了一种罕见的脑紊乱，可世上能做这种精准手术的医生屈指可数。作者一家来到纽约求医，却在雨天打不到出租车。后来在一名素不相识的带有爱尔兰口音的好心人的帮助下赶到了医院。最终经过几次手术女儿康复了。
长难句分析：It had taken months before we finally had a name for the disorder,
vein of Galen malformation，but we were told only a handful of specialists in the
world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries.(第二段倒数第二句)
译文：过了几个月我们才最终得知这个病的名字是Galen静脉畸形，但是世上能够具备做这种精准手术资历的医生屈指可数。
词汇积累：frustrated adj.沮丧的，绝望的
precise adj.精准的 a handful of一小部分，少量的
1．C 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句中的“trying to stop a cab”及第二段第一句“Frustrated and wet，my husband gave up his attempt to flag down a cab.”可知，他们在街头努力打一辆出租车。故选C。
2．D 细节理解题。根据第二段倒数第二句中的“but we were told only a handful of
specialists in the world were qualified to perform the precise surgeries”可知，
治疗Katie的病的手术很难做。故选D。
3．B 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第二、三句“The woman hugged me and I noticed
her face was wet with tears in worry.She promised to pray for us before she left.”可推知，这位女司机了解了孩子的病情后，对这一家人的不幸遭遇表示同情。故选B。
4．A 标题概括题。纵观全文，从开头描写在纽约街头作者一家拦车无果到最后孩子的得救，中间的一个核心人物就是素不相识的爱尔兰女人。在作者夫妇眼中，这个女人就是他们的天使。故“纽约的爱尔兰天使”符合题意。故选A。
二、单句语法填空
1．They are likely ________ (fire) by the company just because of their fault.
答案：to be fired Sb. be likely to do sth. “某人可能做某事”。主语they与fire之间为被动关系，故应填不定式的被动形式。
2．The majority of the interviewees ________ (prefer) watching TV at home to
going to the cinema.
答案：prefer the majority of ... 作主语时，谓语动词的数与of后的名词保持一致。由interviewees可知谓语动词应用复数形式。
3．It suddenly occurred ________ him that he should adopt the homeless child.
答案：to It (suddenly) occurred/occurs to sb. that ... “某人突然想起某事”。
4．Whoever breaks the school rules will surely receive ________ (punish)．
答案：punishment 句中动词receive后缺宾语，故应填名词punishment作宾语。
5．We should not have ________ (race) discrimination.
答案：racial 句中缺少一形容词来修饰名词discrimination, 故填racial “种族的”。
6．She became the first black woman ________ (elect) to the Senate.
答案：to be elected 当名词或代词前有序数词或最高级修饰时，则常用动词不定式来充当其后置定语，且elect与black woman之间为被动关系，故填to be elected。
7．He couldn't express himself correctly ________ means of words.
答案：by by means of ... “借助于；用……；通过……方法”。
