Unit 3 Under the sea

【导语】捕鲸业是世界上古老的行业之一，它的历史发展和现状如何呢？

The whaling industry is one of the oldest industries in existence.It has undergone vast changes since its beginning，primarily due to the creation of the International Whaling Commission. Commercial whaling still continues throughout the world，but the whaling quotas are restricted by the commission，thereby helping conserve the whale populations.

Whaling refers to hunting wh ales primarily for their oil，meat and bones.Whaling dates back to prehistoric times，most prevalent in Norway and Japan.The hunt became an industry in the 1600s in the Arctic regions，mostly by the Dutch and British.American colonists started whaling in the 1700s.Nantucket whalers were the first to kill a sperm whale，and the discovery of spermaceti in the whale's head made the sperm whale one of the most highly prized catches.Whaling ships set out from New England into the Pacific for extremely long voyages to hunt down these whales.

Whaling industry has been a part of a variety of countries' industries.The following countries were the earliest pioneers in the whaling industry：England，France，Germany，Iceland，Japan，the Netherlands，Norway and the American colonies (although they were not a country at the time)．The following countries still practice whaling in some form or fashion：Canada，Greenland，the Grenadines，Iceland，Indonesia，Japan，the Netherlands，Norway，Russia and the United States.

如何写投诉信

1．投诉信中投诉服务是经常会考到的话题，一般主要集中在对于饭店、宾馆、餐厅、旅行社等服务性行业的投诉，此类书信一般在结构上可分为以下几个部分：

(1)自我介绍，表明投诉内容以及与收信人的相关性。

(2)陈述投诉内容，如时间、地点、人物、事件等，并指出对方服务问题所在以及由此而产生的对自己或者家人的影响。

(3)提出整改建议或者希望得到对方的赔偿或补偿。

2．写作投诉信时应该注意的几个问题：

(1)投诉信与普通书信格式一样，但要注意写投诉信的目的是为了求得解决问题而不是为了泄愤，因此写信时一定要注意态度诚恳、礼貌委婉，反映问题的时候不能伤了双方的和气。

(2)投诉信应重点表明投诉的原因，叙事应客观、准确、简洁。最后提出的解决方法应切实可行。在表达自己的不满时，语言要把握分寸，不失风度。

【典型句式】

(1)I venture to write a letter to you about...

恕我冒昧，我写信是想告诉你……

(2)One annoying aspect of your service is...

你们服务中不尽人意的地方是……

(3)I am writing this letter to tell you how disappointed I have been with the after－sale service at your shop.

我写信是想告诉贵店，我对你们的售后服务非常失望。

(4)I would like to draw your attention to the problem...我希望引起贵方对……问题的注意。

_______________________________________________________

Yours，

Li Hua 答案：

Dear_editor，

I'm_writing_to_tell_you_about_a_food_poisoning_incident.Several days ago，my neighbour family ate a bag of fake food from the market.After the meal，they had stomachaches and threw up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale.Fortunately，another neighbour passed by only to find the incident and immediately called the ambulance，which carried them quickly to hospital.After several hours' treatment，they finally escaped from death.

From this all of us have realized the importance of food safety.As some illegal businessmen are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly，they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers.They must be charged by law.Meanwhile I do hope the whole society shall begin taking action to protect people's life safety.

Yours，

Li_Hua

Ⅰ.阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

After a terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years，for he became both blind and deaf.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life.

His wife did her best to tend and comfort him.By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.

On a hot summer afternoon，he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly，but when he opened his eyes，he didn't dare to believe that he saw a plough (犁) lying near the wall. When Mrs Edwards came running up to him，she shouted for help.He saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.

The news of Robert's regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread.Many doctors came to prove the truth of the news.Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincin g reasons，however. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that，since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident，perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.

【语篇解读】罗伯特在一次重大车祸中失去了听力和视力。这样的情况持续了十年，后来他遭闪电击中，视力和听力却奇迹般地恢复了。

答案：C

3．How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor?

A．He regained them from a head injury when he fell from a tree.

B．His wife's first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them.

C．The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head.

D．The blow that made him blind and deaf was very severe，so it took another severe blow to regain them.

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident，perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.”可知答案。

答案：D

4．What's the best title for the passage?

A．Every coin has two sides

Ⅱ.七选五

The act of giving gifts is a gesture of friendship，love，celebration and thanks.With a little planning，your gifts will be remembered for years.

__1__Put a reminder in your diary one or two weeks before the occasion so that you can start doing your shopping.If your receivers live very far away and you need to mail the gift，then advanced planning is even more important.It will make sure that your gift gets to them on time.Don't give based on what others give you.We often hear people say “She's spending D|S100 on me，so I should spend D|S100 on her”．__2__ Your gifts should be based on what is on your heart for your receivers.Don't worry about whether your receivers are going to give you something back or how much they are spending on your gifts.

Respect your budget.__3__Gifts given with sincerity are appreciated even more than expensive items.By planning how much you need to spend on your gifts for others and assigning a dollar amount to each desired gift on your list，you'll be better prepared to shop within your budget.

Be aware of wrappings.__4__ A tastefully wrapped gift with materials that can be reused or recycled shows your caring for the environment.

Present your gift with respect.__5__And when you do，present your gift by holding with both your hands as though you were holding it on a silver platter.

A．This thinking completely ruins the value of giving gifts to each other.

B．Beautiful gifts don't necessarily need to rely on ribbons or boxes.

C．The cost of your gift will not be the main factor in its success.

D．The best way to present a gift is always presenting it in person.

Ⅲ.完形填空

阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

During my s econd year of college，I was looking around for a place to live.One Sunday af ter church，the pastor (牧师) told me to stay in his daughter's room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.

To be __1__，I really didn't want to stay with “the pastor's family”．He told me how much the __2__ would be—a very low figure that __3__ one homecooked meal a day.I thought about the __4__ and decided to move in.

At the end of the term I had planned to find __5__ living place，since the daughter was to __6__home.To my de light，they __7__ that I share a room with their son.I seemed to have been adopted into their __8__—their people became my people.I __9__accepted the offer.

As I emptied the daughter's bedroom，I thought it might be __10__ to have a little sister to look after.But when I later met my new sister，I __11__ that she was more independent than I first __12__．

We finally fell in love, __13__，and have looked after each other for many years.There have been times that life turned out more __14__ than either of us could have known.But we have always been able to go __15__ largely because we knew that we are deeply __16__．

It isn't about marriage—It's about __17__．It's about mothers and fathers，sisters and brothers and special friends who are as __18__ as family.It's about anybody who can say，“I'll be __19__—you can count on me.I'll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”

Is there anybody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel on the path of life best when there is __20__ to look after，and when someone is looking after us.

【语篇解读】最好的生活莫过于有彼此可以照顾的人。

1．A.honest B．surprised

C．friendly D．pleased

解析：本句“really didn't want to stay with”说明作者在说自己的真实感受，to be

honest是插入语。

答案：A

2．A.price B．rent

C．money D．pay

解析：本句的“a very low figure”说明的是房客与房东之间涉及的租金，所以用rent，rent在这里是名词，意为“租金”。干扰项是money，但是该词不能表明作者和牧师之间的关系。

答案：B

3．A.had B．included

C．made D．contained

解析：include指的是包含其中的一部分，而contain是全部包含，所以不能选D项。

答案：B

4．A.idea B．plan

C．service D．offer

解析：上句的“a very low figure”和“one home－cooked meal”都是房东提供给作者的，这里的offer意为“提供建议”，且含友好之意，所以作者决定接受。

答案：D

5．A.same B．different

C．another D．extra

解析：这里的another是泛指任何一个别的地方。干扰项是B项，如果选B项的话，注意要加上冠词a。

答案：C

6．A.return B．go

C．get D．leave

解析：和第一段第二句的“was studying abroad”相呼应，说明房东的女儿这时候要回来了，所以选A项。

答案：A

7．A.ordered B．agreed

C．arranged D．suggested

解析：需注意的是几个选项里只有suggest后面跟宾语从句时可以用到虚拟语气。

答案：D

8．A.house B．family

C．group D．friend

解析：本句的破折号后面的“their people became my people”说明这时候的作者已

经融入这一家人。

答案：B

9．A.happily B．sorrowfully

C．evidently D．efficiently

解析：在这样爱意浓浓的家庭里，作者当然是欣然接受眼前的一切，所以这里用happily 说明作者的心情。

答案：A

10．A.bad B．exciting

C．nice D．strange

解析：本空后的“have a little sister to look after”说明作者以为自己要充当兄长的角色，所以感觉很好。

答案：C

11．A.realized B．thought

C．knew D．doubted

解析：作者一见到所谓的妹妹就意识到了自己的想法是错误的，因为对方是一个很独立的女孩。

答案：A

12．A.saw B．told

C．imagined D．believed

解析：因为是初次见面，在这之前的想法都属于想象，所以这里要用imagine。

答案：C

13．A.separated B．parted

C．left D．married

解析：本句里的“fell in love”和“have looked after each other for many years”说明作者和房东的女儿结婚了，所以这里要用married。

答案：D

14．A.smooth B．challenging

C．exciting D．different

解析：challenging意为“有挑战性的，要求高的”，指生活中的挑战。

答案：B

15．A.backward B．eastward

C．forward D．westward

答案：C
