Unit 2 Poems reading课时作业

一、阅读理解。

Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains.The mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor.Lots of stores，hotels，and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds.Also，water，roads，and other service systems are part of the infrastruc-ture(基础设施)that must be maintained.

Unfortunately，these systems are starting to break down.It's not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Calvin，a National Park Service worker.The park is not only old but worn out.Two or three times as many visitors come every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.

Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon.The National Park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors.Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.

Why hasn't the National Park Service kept up the park repairs？There is a lack of money.The United States has 378 monuments，parks，and wilderness areas.Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.

Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs.It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it any way it chooses.When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club.The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.

A Sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite.That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

1．According to the text，the mountains in Yosemite look splendid when they are appreciated from ________.

A．the bottom of the valleys B．the top of the mountains C．the side of the mountains D．the edge of the valleys

2．National parks like Yosemite in the U．S.find it increasingly difficult to meet the need of visitors because ________.

A．their transport management needs improving B．they spend too much on their service systems C．their service systems frequently go out of order D．they need help from environmental organizations

3．The main problem of Yosemite National Park is its ________.

A．rundown water pipes B．over crowdedness C．lack of money D．narrow roads

4．According to the text，the Sierra Club is most likely to be ________. A．an environmental group B．an information center C．a travel service D．a law firm

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。每年有大量游客来到Yosemite国家公园参观，这给公园带来了很多压力。

译文：此外，水、道路和其他服务系统是必须维护的基础设施的一部分。

解题思路：根据关键句及第二段第一句可知，在美国像Yosemite这样的国家公园很难满足游客的需求，因为它们的服务系统经常出问题。故选C。

3．B 细节理解题。Two or three times as many visitors come every year.That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.(第二段最后两句)

二、单句语法填空

1．Is there anything ________ particular that you want to talk about?

答案：in in particular为固定的介词短语，作后置定语，修饰anything，意为“特别的”。 2．If we ________ (exchange) telephone number last week, I would have no trouble getting in touch with you now.

答案：had exchanged 该句为错综时间虚拟条件句。由last week可知，从句表示与过去事实相反，故应填had exchanged。

3．Although ________ (tease) about fatness, she still has confidence in her performance of daily life.

答案：teased 主语she与tease之间为被动关系，故应用过去分词作状语。 4．This is a poem that perfectly ________ (convey) to the readers what the poet feels. 答案：conveys 由主句谓语动词is和从句中的feels可以判断用一般现在时。定语从句的先行词为a poem，为单数形式，故从句谓语动词也应用第三人称单数形式conveys，该从句含有“convey sth. to sb.”的结构。

5．She always exchanges words ________ her neighbours. 答案：with exchange ... with ... “和……交换……”。

6．Since then it ________ (transform) itself from a small fishing village into a major financial centre.

答案：has transformed 由since then可知，句子应用现在完成时。

答案：while while “而，然而”，可用于表示两种情况的对比。

答案：it take it for granted that ... 为常用句式，意为“认为……是理所当然的”。 10．I think her ________ (translate) of the article is much better.

答案：translation 由her可知，应填所给词的名词形式translation，意为“翻译；译文”。
