1、1Unit 5 Nelson Mandela-a modern hero .阅读理解(2018浙江)I start every summer with the best of intentions:to attack one big book from the past,a classic that I was supposed to have read when young and ambitious.Often the pairings of books and settings have been purely accidental:“Moby Dick” on a three-day
2、cross-country train trip;“The Magic Mountain” in a New England beachside cottage with no locks on the doors,no telephones or televisions in the rooms,and little to do beyond row on the salt pond.Attempting “The Man Without Qualities” on a return to Hawaii,my native state,however,was less fruitful:I
3、made it through one and a quarter volumes (册),then decided that Id got the point and went swimming instead.But this summer I find myself at a loss.Im not quite interested in Balzac,say,or “Tristram Shandy.” Theres always “War and Peace,” which Ive covered some distance several times,only to get bogg
4、ed down in the “War” part,set it aside for a while,and realize that I have to start over from the beginning again,having forgotten everyones name and social rank.How appealing to simply fall back on a favorite once more into “The Waves” or “Justine,” which feels almost like cheating,too exciting and
5、 too much fun to properly belong in serious literature. And then theres Stendhals “The Red and the Black,” which happens to be the name of my favorite cocktail(鸡尾酒) of the summer,created by Michael Cecconi at Savoy and Back Forty.It is easy to drink,and knocking back three or four seems like such a
6、delightful idea.Cecconis theory:“I take whatevers fresh at the greenmarket and turn it into liquid.” The result is a pure shot of afternoon in the park,making one feel cheerful and peaceful all at once,lying on uncut grass with eyes shut,sun beating through the lids.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。在文章中作者讲述了自己暑假的读书历程

16、构已完整,故此处应填非谓语动词“meaning”表示主动关系,意为“意味着”。6.thoughtful 考查形容词。句中的“kind”和“thoughtful”都是形容词,为并列关系,接在 be动词后做表语。7.had put 考查动词的时态语态。此处为主动关系,且该动作发生在“stepped”之前,故用过去完成时的主动语态。8.it 考查代词。此处代词 it 指代前文中的“the book”。9.neatly 考查副词。此处副词 neatly 修饰动词 brushed,意为“梳理整齐的头发”。10.letters 考查名词。此处 letter“信件”为可数名词,故用复数形式。.读后续写(20
