Ⅲ.阅读理解
SYDNEY—Australia's economic boom is encouraging a steady stream of unexpected visitors looking for work: Americans.
US citizens are heading to Australia in small but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under, where China's thirst for iron ore(矿石) and energy is transforming the Pacific nation into an economic powerhouse.
A bricklaying student from Silver Trowel, a leading provider of quality education and training in the building and construction industry, was apprenticed(当学徒) on a building project in Western Australia, where workers are in short supply.
Daniel Davila，a 23­year­old floorer from Camarillo, California made the 14­hour move across the Pacific two years ago. He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.
On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars( US $50.21 ) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the US. He plans to start his own flooring business.
“I can make what I did in a week in the US in less than a day here”，said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.
Australian government figures show just under 7，000 Americans currently work on long­term visas, an 80% jump over the past five citizens are now the
third­largest group applying for so­called 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers，can obtain a nonrenewable(不可更新的) permit for as much as a three­year stay.After that, they can apply f or the renewable 457, which allows up to a four­yea r stay.
The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in Novem ber, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in six­figure salaries while experienced crane(起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the US and Europe, according to migration data.
36．________， a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.
A．As a result of the encouragement of Australia
B．As a result of high unemployment in the US
C．Out of their ambition of finding valuable resources
D．Out of their determination to realize their dreams
37．It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are ________．A．for skilled workers in some fields
B．for students on the building project
C．especially for American workers
D．especially for those out of work
38．It is implied in the passage that ________．
A．foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in Australia
B．it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countries
C．there are more US citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countries
D．Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American sk illed workers
39．Which part of Australia needs workers particularly?
A．North­western Australia.
B．Eastern Australia.
C．South­eastern Australia.
D．Western Australia.
课时作业(十五)
Ⅰ.1.D 考查虚拟语气。

句意：如果地球停止了转动将会发生什么？从句是与现在事实相反的假设，故主句应用would happen。

2．D 考查冠词。

首空指带着借书的目的，表特指，故用the。

第二、三空表泛指，意为“一本关于如何写诗的书”，故均用a，即正确答案选D。

3．D 第一空为分词短语作状语，与主语是主动关系，故用making；且根据搭配“resistant to sth.”判断选D。

4．C 句意：我不想买这本词典。

一方面，它价格太贵；另一方面，我现在没有那么多钱。

on(the) one hand…on the other hand…“一方面……另一方面……”，用来列举事项说明理由。

5．C 根据表达“on one's/the way to doing sth.”可判断选C。

6．C 此处considering为介词，意为“鉴于”。

7．B 考查短语辨析。

句意：如果你使挑战和困难有益于你而不是使你丧失信心，你会完成比你原以为可能的更多的事。

more than“多于，不仅仅”；rather than“而不是”；less than“少于”；other than“除了”。

根据句意可知B正确。

8．B 考查连词用法。

句意：虽然我承认所有这些问题都很难，但是我不认为它们无法解决。

此处while表示“虽然，尽管”，用来引导让步状语从句。

9．B 考查非谓语动词短语。

句意：他永远也不会想到他在查明抢劫案方面有很大的麻烦。

have the trouble (in) doing sth. “做某事有麻烦”。

10．C 考查非谓语动词。

only to do sth.表示“出乎意料地”，only doing sth.表示“意料之中地”。

根据句意“她乘出租车匆忙赶到办公室，结果发现钥匙忘在家里了。

”可知选C项。

11．A the majority of the students作主语，谓语动词用复数。

12．A 第一空用that引导主语从句；without the permission from the school 没有学校的许可。

13．B 考查虚拟语气的省略句式。

当由if引导的虚拟语气的谓语部分为had，should 或were时，可以用省略倒装句式。

本句根据后句的谓语部分might have passed可知，是对过去事情的假设，所以从句应该用过去完成时，即If it had not been…缩略形式就是Had it not been…
14．A 考查过去分词。

该空在句中作定语，且与逻辑主语the problem为被动关系，由此排除B、D；根据“at the last meeting”可知，指“上一次会议讨论的问题”，故选A。

15．A 根据“at present”可判断第一空表示正在发生的被动动作；根据“tomorrow”可判断第二空表示将来发生的被动动作，故选A。

Ⅱ.我的学生都是一些身体残疾或智力有障碍的孩子。

Mark行动不便，在一次学校组织的残疾人奥林匹克运动会中，Mark落在最后，他的三个朋友返回去跟Mark共同冲向终点。

他们的行为深刻地阐释了残疾人奥运会的真正意义之所在。

16．A 从第一句中的“teaching”一词可以看出作者是一名教师，因此这里是说“我”的“学生”。

17．D 从前一句可知Mark患脑瘫，行动不便，因此他是被束缚在“轮椅”上。

24空所在句子中的“wheelchair”是答案提示。

18．B 前一句提到他必须跟自己的身体不便作斗争，本句提到他有积极的态度，前后构成转折关系，因此选B。

19．C 联系上下文可知，他积极乐观，因此很受同学们的“喜爱”。

20．D 由23空后的“well in their sports events”可知，这三个学生擅长“运动”。

21．C Mark希望像他们一样，自己不受身体不便的束缚。

因此选body。

22．B Mark基本上不能运动，因此在看到别人在运动场上活动时，他会“惊叹”。

wonder表示“惊讶，惊叹”。

23．A 上文提到这三个学生擅长体育运动，再由该空后的“gave the normally…cheer about”可知他们在这次的体育比赛中获得了好名次。

place表示“获名次”，符合语境。

24．B 从上一句的“cheer about”以及文章最后一句可知，Mark坐在轮椅里为他们欢呼。

25．B 根据下文可知所有的学生都被邀请沿着跑道走或者跑完一圈，因此选B项。

26．C entire表示“完整的”，符合语境。

27．D 当三名学生到达终点的时候，他们停下来，转身看他们后面的同学。

pause停下来，符合语境。

28．A at the end of是固定搭配，表示“在……的后面”。

29．C Mark行动不便，因此所有的同学都超过了他。

pass意思是“经过；通过”。

30．C 只有他自己还剩下一半多的路没走完。

cover行走，符合语境。

31．D 他们三个彼此注视了一下，心里都有了个想法。

thought在此处是名词，表示“想法”。

32．A 根据上文可知他们已经到达了终点，因此这里是指他们返回去为Mark加油。

33．D as在此处的意思是“正如”。

他们为Mark加油，就像Mark之前为他们加油一样。

34．A 从后半句的but可知，虽然过程很慢，但是最后他们三人跟Mark一起冲过了终点线。

35．B 通过这件事情，“我”明白了什么是残疾人奥运会。

make表示“使成为”。

what 引导宾语从句，在宾语从句中作主语。

Ⅲ.随着澳大利亚经济的繁荣发展，有越来越多的美国人去澳大利亚寻找工作。

他们的发展如何呢？让我们从文章中寻找答案。

36．B 细节理解题。

从第二段中的“but growing numbers as near 10% unemployment at home drives more to look for jobs Down Under”知，美国将近10%的失业率导致越来越多的美国人到澳大利亚寻找工作，所以选B项。

37．A 推理判断题。

从文章倒数第二段中的“…457 work visas…as well as other skilled workers”可知，457工作签证是专门颁发给高级技术工人的，所以答案选A项。

38．B 从Daniel Davila的例子并结合文章可知，很多美国人在澳大利亚赚的钱要比在美国赚的多得多，由此可知答案为B项。

39．D 细节理解题。

从最后一段的“The need for workers is particu­larly pressing in Western Australia.”可知，澳大利亚的西部地区急需工人，答案选D项。
