Unit 3 A taste of English humour Using language课时作业

第一节 七选五 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　There was a story about a king. __1__

　　One day, the king ordered some of his workers to dig a pond. Once the pond was dug, he made an announcement to his ministers, saying that one person from each family was required to bring a glass of milk during the night and pour it into the pond. __2__

　　After receiving the order, everyone said "yes" and then went home. One of the ministers was preparing to take the milk during the night. __3__ Since everyone would bring milk, he would just take a glass of water instead and pour it into the pond. It would be so dark that no one else would discover it. So he quickly went out, poured the water into the pond and came back home, feeling rather satisfied with what he did. __4__ But much to their surprise, they saw the pond only filled with clear water! What had happened was that everyone was thinking just like the other person："I don't have to put milk into the pond, and someone else will do it." So when it comes to helping poor people, you shouldn't think that others will take care of it. __5__ If you don't do it, no one else will do it. Whatever you do, be true to your words, and that will make a big difference.

　　A．Rather, it starts with you.

　　B．All of a sudden, an idea occurred to him.

　　C．The king had never spent a sleepless night.

　　D．He couldn't wait to see what would happen.

　　E．So the pond would be full of milk by the morning.

　　F．He had his own way to find out whether his ministers were honest.

　　G．The next morning, the king came to visit the pond with his ministers.

　　语篇解读：本文是记叙文。国王命令在夜间每一个大臣都要把一杯牛奶倒进刚挖好的一个池塘里。结果每一个人都想着别人倒进去的是牛奶，自己倒一杯清水就行了。第二天，国王和大臣们来到池塘边，他们看到的却是一池塘的清水。

　　1．选F　第一段是故事的开头，再结合下文内容，国王命令他的大臣们每人带一杯牛奶，在夜里倒入新挖的池塘里。他想通过这件事来检验那些人是否诚实。由此可知此处选F。这是一个承上启下的句子。

　　2．选E　国王让每一个大臣在夜里把一杯牛奶倒进池塘，这样第二天一大早他就能看到池塘里充满牛奶。本句与前一句存在因果关系，故此处选E。

3．选B　下句点明了他想到的主意：既然别人都要带牛奶去，他就带一杯清水倒进池塘里。故此处选B。
