新课标人教版英语高三复习Book Five Unit Four 单元同步训练试题（附详解）
一、根据语境完成下列单句训练
1. Your uncle seems to be a good driver;__________(even though/even so) I wouldn’t dare to travel in his car.(2005,江西)
【答案】even so，even so在此表示让步，相当于even he is a good driver。even though表“尽管”，是连词，必须引导句子。
2.The man ___________(suspect) of shooting 6 school children was caught by Beijing police, the Xinhua News Agency reported on Friday.(2006,潍坊3月模拟)
【答案】suspected，此处用过去分词作后置定语表示被动和完成。
3.One advantage of playing the guitar is____________ it can give you a great deal of pleasure.(2006,上海)
【答案】that，该句考查名词性从句中的表语从句的引导词的正确应用，由于从句中不缺少什么成分，故须用that引导。
4.I don’t suppose anyone will be willing to do it,___________(对吗)?(2004,汕头)
【答案】will they。考查I （don’t）suppose引导的宾语从句的反意疑问句，属否定前移，且反意疑问句的主语应与从句保持一致。
5.Nobody believed his reason for being absent from the class_____________(why/because/that) he had to meet his uncle in the airport.(2006，重庆)
【答案】that，考查同位语从句的引导词。句意为：没有人相信他的那个没来上课是他必须到机场接他叔叔的借口。
6.Andy Lan (Liu dehua), ______________(recognize) as one of the four Hong Kong kings, once again____________(prove) his lasting charm with perfect dance moves in solo concert in Beijing on October9,2004.(2006,杭州高三模拟)
【答案】recognized，proved；由句意和结构分析可知，第一个空处是过去分词短语作Andy Lan的定语，第二个空是整个句子的谓语部分，采用过去时态。
7.______________ makes this shop different is that it offers more personal service.(2006,辽宁)
【答案】What，what引导主语从句，相当于the things that。句意为：这个商店的不同之处是提供更多的个性化服务。
8. Mary never does any reading in the evening，___________(2005, 全国卷II )
【答案】nor does John，nor does John意为：约翰也一样（晚上不读书）。

10. We always keep ______________(too much/a number of/plenty of) spare paper, in case we run out.(2006, 浙江)

三、阅读
A
Abby Subark is a mother of two from Boston. “For my kids, I’m nervous. I don’t know if they’ll be able to achieve their American dream.” She may be right. More than hard work or education, the best way to get rich in America is to be born rich.
It is the case that somebody who is in the upper third of income, poor scores, in the bottom on tests when they are in eighth grade, is more likely to go to college and finish college than a poor kid with the top scores. That’s what the working person’s children are up against.
The Economic Policy Institute finds it would take a poor couple with 2 children 9 or 10 generations to achieve middle class status. That’s about 200 years. The hallmark (特征) of American opportunity has always been the ability to do better than your parents. But compared with similar developed countries, the United States ranks fifth out of six for so-called intergenerational mobility (变动).
If you look at the mechanisms (机制) for upward mobility that were so readily available 50 years ago, they are becoming out of reach, like plentiful factory jobs with good wages and affordable education and health care.
White families are twice as likely as blacks to be upwardly mobile. For most people in America today, where you end up depends on where you start.
If you started in the middle-income class, about 40 to 45 percent of what you are making right now is due to the fact that your parents were in the middle-income class. The rest is up to you.
But for the millions of people who find themselves below the poverty line (贫困线) and the millions more who are the working poor, their starting point for the American dream leaves them painfully far away from the middle class.
21. The main idea of the passage is _______.
A. How the middle class comes about in the U.S.
B. It’s hard to realize the American dream for the poor.
C. Wealth and social status depend on family background.
D. Upward mobility in America is never easy.
22. Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People used to have job opportunities and welfare for upward mobility.
B. A great many poor people can hardly realize their American dream.
C. You can make all your dreams come true in America if born rich.
D. Rich kids are more likely to go to college than poor kids.
23. The underlined sentence “where you end up depends on where you start” most probably means _______ .
A. Your starting point cannot determine your destination.
B. Only a high goal can ensure success.
C. One’s birth has nothing to do with his fate.
D.One’s family lays solid foundation for his future achievements.
24．Why is Abby Subark nervous?
A. Her kids don’t want to compare with other rich kids in achievements.
B. Her kids don’t want to achieve success at all.
C. Her kids can achieve success through hard work and education.
D. Her kids can’t reach their goal without a rich family.
25. What can we infer after reading the passage?
A. Poverty causes people much pain.
B.People below the poverty line can never be in the middle class.
C. Lower starting point makes it hard for people to realize their dream.
D. Poor people’s starting point is too low.
【答案解析】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议的记叙文。作者描写了自己对孩子的事业发展的担忧，对美国年轻人的事业发展很大程度上要靠出身、要靠父母的社会地位发出无奈的感叹。
21. 答案为B。考查学生对文章主旨大意做出合理判断的能力。纵观全文可以归纳得出：如果没有良好的家庭背景，对于美国的年轻人来说要实现自己的梦想是多么不易！
22. 答案为C。 考查细节。 A、B、D选项在文章都能分别找到根据，故选择C. （这里要特别提醒学生C答案的单词all your dreams指的是所有的梦想都能实现，故这个句子是错误的。）
23. 答案为D。 考查学生在掌握全文的基础上，通过上下文推断句子意义的能力。
24. 答案为D。 考查学生的推断能力。A、B选项的内容文章没有提及。C 选项与文章意思相反。D选项是对文章的整篇语篇理解的基础上的正确推断。
25. 答案为C。 考查学生依据全文的内容，特别是poverty line, starting point, far away 等词汇可以推断得出正确答案C。
B
Lucky is the man who has no “skeleton in his closet”. When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet”. Some people may have more than one skeleton.
As we have noted many times, it is hard to find out how these expressions begin. Sometimes, we get some hard facts. But more often we have to depend on guesswork. And that is true of this phrase, which came from England.
Before 1932, English law did not permit a doctor to cut open a dead human body for scientific examination, unless it was the corpse(尸体) of an executed(处决) criminal.
But when it became legal, more and more doctors demanded skeletons for a more scientific study of medicine. It was helping in the advance of modern medicine. The demand had become so strong that men began to rob tombs and sell skeletons to doctors at high prices.
We are told that a doctor would usually buy just one skeleton for scientific study. It became very important in his work. But he had to keep it hidden because most people objected to keeping such a thing. As a rule, the doctor would keep his skeleton in some dark corner where it could not be seen, or hide it in a closet.
After a time, people began to suspect(怀疑) every doctor of hiding a skeleton in the closet. From this suspicion, the phrase “a skeleton in the closet” took on a broader, more general meaning to describe anything that a man wanted to keep others from discovering. It could be proof of a criminal act, or something much less serious. Well, that is one theory.
One writer, however, believes that the phrase might have come from something that really happened. It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton, clear proof of some old family shame or crime. Well, one man’s guess is as good as another. But this sounds like a story by the great French novelist, Balzac.
Baizac tells us of a man who suspected his wife of having a lover. The husband comes home by surprise. But she hears him and quickly hides her lover in the closet of her bedroom. He enters her room and asks her if she is hiding her lover. He says he will not open the door to the closet if she promises him there is no one there; He will believe her. She answers firmly that she is not hiding anyone in the closet.
The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never come out alive. But she will not change her story and admit her guilt.
26. Which of the following situations is suitable for using the phrase “skeleton in the closet” ?
A. You have stolen something precious and don’t want it discovered.
B. You are a doctor and have to keep a skeleton for research.
C. If you have cut open a dead human body for scientific examination you should keep the skeleton secret.
D. You have done a crime or done something foolish, but you want to keep other from discovering it.
27. From the text we know that there are _______ theories about how the phrase “skeleton in the closet” came into being.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
28. In Chinese the world “skeleton” means _______.
A. 尸体 B. 标本 C. 收藏 D. 骷髅
29. Which of the following is right according to the text?
A. In the 20th century, doctors realized the importance of anatomy(解剖) in the development of medicine.
B. The doctors of the ancient times liked to collect as many skeleton as possible.
C. The thieves stole skeletons from tombs in order to help the doctors.
D. It was legal that corpses of anybody were cut open for scientific examination in history.
30. From the story Balzac told we know that the wife’s lover must have become _______.
A. a corpse B. a phrase C. a skeleton D. a secret
【答案解析】 本文列举两个故事诠释 “skeleton in the closet” 之义。
26. D。推断题。根据 When a man has done something in his life that he is ashamed of, that he wants to hide, he is said to have a “skeleton in his closet” 可知 “skeleton in the closet” 的意思是一个人想隐藏自己感到羞愧的事，由此可推知犯了罪或做了傻事而又不想让别人知道的符合 “skeleton in the closet”，故选 D。
27. B。细节题。阅读全文得知本文用了两个故事来解释这个短语，一是英国医生用死尸来进行医学研究；二是法国作家 Balzac 讲述的是丈夫将妻子的情人封死在墙里，由此可知B为正确答案。
28. D。词义猜测题。从该词的源处得知它与死尸有关，再从倒数第三段 It is his guess that a hidden closet in some old English country home may have turned up a real skeleton可推测其义为 D。
29. A。细节题。根据全文可知B、C、D是错误的，再从 It became very important in his work可知 A 为正确答案。
30. C。推断题。根据最后一段The husband then begins to build a solid brick wall against the closet. His wife watches, knowing that her lover will never… 得知她的情人将死在墙里，自然成为骷髅了。故选C。
