選修8Unit 5李仕才考點規(guī)范練(選修8Unit 5)【短文語法填空】Are you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix?In 1969，the pollution was terrible along the Cuyahoga River near Cleveland，Ohio.It _1_ (be) unimaginable that it could ever be cleaned up.The river was so polluted that it _2_(actual) caught fire and burned.Now，years later，this river is one of _3_ most outstanding examples of environmental cleanup.But the river wasnt changed in a few days _4_ even a few months.It took years of work _5_ (reduce) the industrial pollution and clean the water.Finally，that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is _6_(clean) than ever.Maybe you are facing an impossible situation.Maybe you have a habit _7_ is driving your family crazy.Possibly you drink too much or dont know how to control your credit card use.When you face such an impossible situation，dont you want a quick fix and something to change immediately?While there are _8_ (amaze) stories of instant transformation，for most of us the _9_(change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work，like cleaning up a polluted river.Just be _10_(patience)1was文章講的是1969年的事情，故用過去時。2actually修飾動詞caught，用副詞actually“實際上”。3themost outstanding是最高級，前面需要加the。4or河流不是幾天或者幾個月里就改變了的，這里兩個時間是選擇關(guān)系，故用or。5to reduce這里考查固定句型：It takes some time to do sth“做某事花費多長時間”。故應(yīng)填不定式to reduce。6cleaner根據(jù)下文than知用形容詞的比較級。7that/whichhabit是先行詞，故用that/which引導(dǎo)定語從句。8amazing是“令人吃驚的”，用形容詞修飾名詞stories，而amazed指“人感到吃驚的”，用來修飾人。9changes根據(jù)句子的謂語“are”可知主語應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)。10patient根據(jù)空格前系動詞“be”可知這里應(yīng)為形容詞。.閱讀理解ADreams are not just a product of the processing of information that our brain conducts while we sleep.It is from dreams that some of the greatest inventions have become a reality.Take for example the famous chemist Dmitri Mendeleev,it was in his dream that he figured out how to place all the elements on a periodical table.Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered thousands of mathematical equations (方程式) from his dreams.Ren Descartes,the man who built much of the framework of the modern scientific method mentioned that the basis of the method came to him in a dream.These are just a few examples of how people got the answers to some of the most complex questions from their dreams.Our subconscious mind is constantly trying to give us answers to questions we may struggle with,and many of these answers come to us in the form of dreams.Did you know that an average human being has about 6 dreams per night?However,most of us may struggle with recalling them.There is a very simple exercise that can help you recall your dreams.Before going to bed,for at least 24 days (It takes around 24 days to form a habit),keep telling yourself that “I will remember all my dreams”.At first,you may not see any results at all,but dont be alarmed by that.Just keep doing it.After a while you will notice that vague memories of your dreams will linger (繼續(xù)存留) in your mind when you wake up.These may fade away after a while,so make a note of it on your mobile phone or in a book.As you continue to do this,you will notice that its not just one dream that comes back to you but a number of dreams.Now the fun doesnt just stop there.Try to understand what your dreams mean;see if they apply to somethings that are happening in your everyday life.Many of the problems we struggle with have already been solved in our amazing mind.It is all locked away in our subconsciousness waiting to be discovered.These answers come to us in the form of dreams.1.The examples given in Paragraph 2 show that .A.successful people often dreamB.dreams can help solve problemsC.famous people work hard at nightD.great inventions are based on hard work2.According to the text,most people have trouble .A.realizing their dreamsB.continuing their dreamsC.waking from their dreamsD.remembering their dreams3.When you recall a dream,you are advised to .A.forget itB.keep it in mindC.share it with othersD.make a record of it4.What can we know from the last paragraph?A.Dreams deserve little attention.B.Dreams can be amazingly funny.C.Dreams should be rightly interpreted.D.Dreams may be difficult to understand.BRecently I and other Red Cross volunteers met a group of victims from Hurricane Katrina. We were there, as mental health professionals, to offer psychological first aid and I was struck by the simple healing power of presence. As we walked in the gate to the shelter, we were greeted with a burst of gratitude (感激) from the first person we met. I felt appreciated, but also guilty, because I hadnt really done anything yet.I first realized the power of presence many years ago when a friends mother passed away unexpectedly. I had received a call saying she had just passed away. I wanted to rush down there immediately, but didnt want to intrude (打擾) on this very personal period of sadness. I was torn about what to do. Another friend with me then said, Just go. Just be there. I did, and I will never regret it.Since then, I have not hesitated to be in the presence of others. Once I sat at the bedside of a young man suffering from the pain of his AIDS related dying. He was not awake, and obviously unaware of others presence. However, the atmosphere was by no means solemn. His family, playing guitars and singing, allowed him to be present with them as though he were still fully alive.In my life, I am repeatedly struck by the healing power of presence. In it, none of us are truly alone. It is not only something we give to others but also changes me for the better.1.Why were the hurricane victims grateful to the author?A.
