必修四Unit4同步常考知识点练习

Ⅰ. 单句语法填空

1．I'll be out for some time.__In__ case anything important happens, call me up immediately.

解析：句意：我要出去一会儿。万一发生任何重要的事情，立刻给我打电话。in case“假使，万一”，引导条件状语从句。

2．__Having_spent__(spend) the past year as an exchange student in Hong Kong, Linda appears more mature than those of her age.

解析：本题考查非谓语动词。句意：琳达，一名交换生，过去的一年是在香港度过的，因此她看上去比同龄人更成熟。分析句子结构可知，主语Linda与spend之间是主动关系，需用现在分词或不定式；再根据句中的关键词the past year可知，spend这一动作已经发生了，所以用现在分词的完成式形式having spent。

3．The cooling wind swept through our bedroom windows，__making__ (make) air conditioning unnecessary.

解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：冷风从我们卧室的窗户吹进来，使得没有必要开空调了。前面的事情造成后面的结果。用现在分词作结果状语，表示顺理成章的结果；不定式也可以作结果状语，但是那是出乎意料的结果。

4．A good listener takes part in the conversation, __offering__(offer) ideas and raising questions to keep the talk flowing.

解析：句意：一个好的聆听者要参与交谈，给出自己的想法、提出问题以使谈话顺畅进行。

5．I took my driving license with me on holiday, __in__ case I wanted to hire a car.

解析：考查连词短语。句意：度假时我随身携带驾驶证以备租车之需。

6．We'd better discuss everything __in__detail before we work out the plan.

解析：句意：我们最好在制订计划之前详细地讨论一切事情。in detail详细地。

7．__Approaching__(approach) the city centre, we saw a stone statue of about 10 metres in height.

解析：句意：靠近城市中心时，我们看见一座大约10米高的石雕。逻辑主语we与approach之间是主动关系，且approach与saw几乎同时发生。

8．Stephen was chosen __to_represent__(represent) the company at the conference.

解析：句意：Stephen被选出代表公司参加会议。

9．Studies show that people who like sitting in the office for hours without a break are more __likely__ to suffer from back problems.

解析：句意：研究表明，喜欢长时间坐在办公室里不休息的人更可能得背部疾病。likely，possible和probable都意为“可能的”，但只有likely可用于sb.be likely to do sth.句型。

10．The old couple, __having__ lived in the small village for years，can tell the names of all the villagers.

解析：考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，主语The old couple和live之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且句中有表示一段时间的时间状语for years，因此用live的现在分词的完成式。

11．I know it's normal for such a thing to happen, but we __could/might/would/ should_have_avoided__(avoid) it if we'd been more careful.

解析：考查虚拟语气。句意：我知道发生这样的事情是正常的，但如果我们更小心一点儿的话，这样的事是可以避免的。根据句中的“if we'd been more careful”可知，此处表示与过去事实相反的假设，故用could/might/would/should have done结构。

12．At the conference, political leaders from many countries promised to work together to defend the world __against__ terrorism and other threats.

解析：句意：会议上，来自多个国家的政治领导人承诺携手保护全球免受恐怖活动和其他威胁的伤害。defend...against“保护……免受……的伤害”。

13．—He should have been warned of the danger.

—So he __was__(be), but he wouldn't listen to me.

解析：考查固定句型。根据答句可知，后者赞同前者的话。此处强调的是发生在过去的客观事实，因此应用so he was。

14．Today there are more airplanes __carrying__(carry) more people than ever before in the skies.

解析：本题考查非谓语动词。句意：现在天空中比以前有更多的飞机搭载乘客。分析结构可知，此处是there be结构，主语more airplanes后接了非谓语动词；并且，airplanes与carry之间为主谓关系，故要用现在分词作定语。

15．—Tom's still angry with me.

—You are __to_blame__(blame)．How dare you call him a liar! He's the last person __to_lie__(lie)．

解析：sb.be to blame“某人应对(过错、罪行)负责”，名词前有序数词，the last等词修饰时，该名词后接不定式。

Ⅳ. 教材原句

1．I saw several young people enter the waiting area__looking__(look) around curiously.

解析：考查非谓语动词作状语。look与young people之间为主动关系，故应用looking。

2．These actions are not good or bad，__but__are simply ways__in__which cultures have developed.

解析：第一空考查两句子之间的逻辑关系，结合语意两者表转折；第二空考查定语从句，此处先行词为ways，从句中不缺主语和宾语，故用in which引导。

3．Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her__on__the cheek.

解析：考查“kiss sb.＋介＋the＋身体部位”结构，身体部位是硬部位，故填on。

4．I moved back a bit, but he came__closer__(close) to ask a question and then shook my hand.

解析：考查形容词用法。结合语境中“moved back a bit”及but可知，此处用比较级。

5．The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely__followed__(follow) by Julia Smith from Britain.

解析：考查非谓语作定语。follow与Tony Garcia之间为动宾关系，故填followed。

6．I stood for a minute__watching__(watch) them and then went to greet them.

解析：考查现在分词作伴随状语。watch与逻辑主语之间为主动关系，故用watching。

7．Body language is one of__the__most powerful means of communication, often even more powerful than__spoken__(speak) language.

8．__Nodding__(nod) the head up and down__is_used__(use) for agreement almost worldwide.

9．In almost every culture__it__is not good to stand too close to someone of a__higher__ (high) rank.

解析：第一空考查it为形式主语，不定式作真正主语；第二空考查形容词的级别，语意暗含比较含义，故填比较级。

答案：

Body language is a way of communication. However, people from different cultures may misunderstand the gestures they use. For example，when we nod at somebody we mean we agree with his opinion. But in some countries nodding one's head means disagreement. We generally think looking somebody in the eye shows that we are listening to him attentively, while in some districts, it is rude. Therefore it is very important for you to have a good understanding of the body language there if you are in a foreign country.
