In the test, students will pass the test if they can swim 50 meters, no matter whether they choose the breaststroke, butterfly, stroke, freestyle or backstroke. Those failing the test have to take a compulsory swimming course.“Now Tsinghua University will test students in long-distance running and swimming, so students with poor sports performance will have to overcome a lot of difficulties once they enter the university,” said a student surnamed Zhang from the Second High School Attached To Beijing Normal University.However, students don't need to worry much, since Liu Bo, head of the Division of Sports Science and Physical Education, said relevant statistics showed that 90 percent of students can swim after taking the compulsory swimming course in their second year of university, and the remaining 10 percent will receive instruction after class provided by teachers, without payingextra tuition.And seeing the ability to swim as a must for students to earn their degrees is not something new in Tsinghua University, as this ability was listed on its school regulations in the early 20th century.“As early as 90 years ago, Tsinghua University required that students cannot graduate from the university or study overseas if they cannot swim, though the requirement didn’t work later on since the swimming pools at the campus could not accommodate increasingly more students” said Liu.41．Who don’t need to take swimming course and test?A. Students who don't like swimming.B. Students who can get high marks in maths.C. Students who have chronic diseases once examined and affirmed by medical staff.D. Students who are too fat.42．Who will not get their bachelor's degrees of Tsinghua University?A. Students who don't take a compulsory swimming course.B. Students who fail a swimming test in the first year.C. Students who swim 100 meters in the test.D. Students who cannot swim before their graduation.43．Students don't need to take the swimming test or course if they have the following diseases except for ______.A. heart diseaseB. skin diseaseC. chronic diseaseD. hydrophobia 44．What is the purpose of the passage?A. To make a school regulation.B. To stress the importance of swimming.C. To explain swimming styles.D. To discuss the problems of swimming. 45．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. Students can choose any swimming style to take the test.B. Students with poor sports don't need to worry about their performance at all.C. Students have to pay extra tuition if they receive instruction after class.D. Tsinghua University has never made such a school regulation before.第二节阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，共5分）Kent Wilson's alarm clock rings at 5:30 a.m. every morning.

Does the moon rotate (旋转) Yes, it does and it rotates around the earth at the same speed (速度) . That’s why its far side never faces us. What’s out there China is on the way to find out with Chang’e-6. On May 3, a Long March-5 rocket took off from Hainan, carrying Chang’e-6. The purpose of this project is to bring back stones from the Moon’s far side, which is a world first. So far, humans have collected stones from the near side ten times. But scientists believe the far side will tell us something new.Chang’e-6 is going to collect stones from a big impact crater (撞击坑) on the far side. It is 25,000 kilometers wide. That’s about the distance between Beijing and Hainan. The crater, with a history of over 4,000,000,000 years, is the oldest on the moon! The stones will help us look into our nearest neighbour.This is a big step forward, ________. China plans to get astronauts to the moon and back by 2030. It also hopes to build a research station there.19．What can we know from the first paragraphA．Chang’e-6 visited the near side of the moon.B．The moon is the closest neighbour to the earth.C．The earth and the moon rotate at the same speed.D．We cannot see the far side of the moon from the earth. 20．Why does China collect the stones from the big impact crater A．To learn more about the moon.

B．The Great Chang’e-6.C．To the Far Side of the Moon. D．China’s Journey to Space.The “April snow” is here! It’s not real snow—it’s catki ns (柳絮) from willows in spring. For some people, this “snow” is not welcomed. Catkins can cause trouble, making people’s noses, eyes, and skinuncomfortable.In fact, there are two genders (性别) of willows: male and female. In spring, the female willows grow lots of flowers. When these flowers finish growing, they begin to produce cotton-like seeds (种子) that fly in the air.Luckily, scientists have found some ways to solve the problem of catkins. One is to change the gender of willows. People cut off the branches (树枝) of female willows and change them with branches from male willows. This will cut down the number of catkins. However, this way is slow and expensive. A skilled worker can do the change on less than ten willows a day.Another way is giving willows a special medicine. Just spray (喷洒) the medicine on willows right before the catkins form, and then it will quickly lower the number of catkins. Still, people need to be careful about how much of the medicine they use and when they use it, or they might hurt the environment.23．What does the “April snow” refer toA．Cotton fields. B．Willow seeds. C．White flowers. D．Spring snowfalls.24．Why do people cut off the branches of female willows A．To make willows beautiful. B．To collect the leaves of willows. C．To stop the produce of catkins. D．To separate willows bygenders.25．When is the best time to spray medicine on willows A．Before willows develop leaves. B．Before the forming of flowers. C．After the flowers finish growing. D．After the changing of branches.26．What’s the main idea of the passageA．How to move catkins. B．How to plant willows.C．How to cut down catkins. D．How to protect willows.As a child, I was an average student at best. School, for me, meant playing soccer with friends and I often felt nervous in class for not knowing anything.I still remember the day when everything changed. During halftime of our soccer game, my French teacher, Paul Galant, stood by the playground watching us. “Johnnie, come here,” he called out to me. “You must be pretendi ng (假装) not know anything,” he said. “But you can be the best in your class.” I thanked him and ran back to the game. But his words hugged me. No teacher had ever told me I could be the best. Those words changed my life. From that day on, I worked hard on my schoolwork and became one of the top students.But it wasn’t just in the classroom that Mr. Galant made a difference. He also saw something in me on the playground. I hadcome sixth, as usual, in the school’s 800-meter tryout. This meant I couldn’t take part in the competition as a member of our school for the interschool race. Mr. Galant must have noticed how hard I tried. He talked the P.E. teachers into letting me and a few others train with the top three. Night after night, I ran tirelessly around the playground. At the interschool race, I almost broke the city’s 800-meter record (记录).Mr. Galant always believed in me and every other child in his class. For a young teenager, the sense that you could fly made all the difference. I will never be able to thank Mr. Galant enough. 27．What does the underlined word “average” in paragraph 1 mean A．So-so. B．Top. C．Active. D．Smart.28．What made the writer work hard at schoolworkA．The dream to be a top student. B．The interest in school activity. C．The hug from the French teacher. D．The encouragement from Mr. Galant.29．What is paragraph 4 mainly aboutA．How I improved my running skills. B．How Mr. Galant helped me after class.C．How I broke the city’s 800-meter record. D．How Mr. Galant trained me on the playground.30．What kind of teacher is Mr. GalantA．Caring. B．Strict. C．Lovely. D．Humorous.二、完形填空阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

" Mr． Cooper asked． "It's almost time for bed．""I'll be quick, " said Susan． "I wonder what colour to use．""Well, our stairs are brown, " said her father． "Thanks, Dad．" said Susan．When she finished her picture, Susan began playing with her brush which was still wet． Then something happened． She dropped the brush right on the picture! There in the middle of her picture was a blob （污点） of brown paint!"Oh, Dad! What will I do? " Susan cried．"My picture is ruined （污损）． And it's too late to paint another．""Let me see, " said her father． "The paint blob looks just like a spot on a dog． All you have to do is to draw a dog around the spot!""That's a wonderful idea!" cried Susan． She drew a dog around the blob of brow paint． "That looks just fine． You know, few things are as bad as they seem at first． With a little imagination you can turn bad into good, " said Susan's father．The next day Susan went to school early．When the competition began, Mr． King said, "I've chosen three pictures, and I want you to say which one you like best． That picture wins!" The children did not like the first one． The next picture was on black paper, but the stairs were red． So it was not so good． Then Mr． King showed the third painting． It was Susan's!"The stairs are straight．" said Joe．"Yes, and the brown paint shows up well on the white paper, " said Lucy．"And look at the little dog, " said Terry． "He seems to belong there．"The children voted and Susan's painting won． Mr． King handed her the prize﹣some paints．"Susan had a good idea, " Mr． King said． "That little dog finished a good painting． It made the stairs seem real．"Susan smiled． She would not give away her secret． But she could hardly wait to tell her father the news． He was right． With a little imagination you can turn something bad into something good!（1）． Susan was going to draw a picture for________．A.fun．B.her homework．C.a competition．D.an exam．（2）． Susan drew the colour "brown" on the white paper because________．A.she didn't like "red" on black paper．B.the stairs in her house were brown．C.she thought her classmates would like it．D.she thought "brown" and "white" looked beautiful together．（3）． Susan's father thought that________．A.the little dog made the picture bad．B.the stairs in the picture looked straight．C.imagination sometimes could turn bad into good．D.the colour "brown" looked quite nice on white paper．There is no doubt that mothers play an important role in the lives of their children, but what about a father's role? I believe fathers play just as important a role as mothers．Fathers give us support． They are the shore we swim to when our arms and legs feel tired． They are the strength we depend on as we take our first steps into the world． Father can be gentle and powerful, but they probably have the simplest love we ever know．For daughters, the father is the first man they admire and the first man whose eyes shine with happiness when they look at them． He is the first man to fall in love with them．________, the father is their first hero and possibly the only man they will ever feel comfortable loving．For mothers, the father of our children is the person we can trust to watch over the babies as closely as we would． We are protected in the knowledge of their love． A father is the person on the planet with whom we can do whatever we want…one who will be just as interested and never feel bored in the face of our devotion．Without fathers, we wouldn't be mums． I would like to thank them honor all our hearts for this honor and for being our partners in the business of raising children．（1）． From the passage， we can know the writer is a________．A.father．B.mother．C.son．D.daughter．（2）． Which of the following can be put on the line in the third paragraph？________ A.For parents． B.For families．C.For others．D.For sons．（3）． According to the passage， we can know that________．A.fathers' love is different from mothers'．B.fathers are always simple and strong．C.fathers can look after their babies better．D.fathers are more important than mothers．（4）． The best title for the passage is________．A.Father， I love you．B.Fathers and mothers．C.Fathers are our heroes．D.The importance of fathers．What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That's an easy question, you say． Wherever you go, a minute is 60seconds, an hour is 60minutes, a day is 24hours, and so forth． Well, maybe． But in America, time is more thanthat． Americans see time as a valuable resource． Maybe that's why they like the expression, "Time is money．"Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manageit． People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management． It seems that they all want to organize their time better． People try their best to press more life out of their time．To Americans, being on time is a way of showing respect for other people's time． Being more than 10minutes late usually calls for an apology （道歉） and an explanation． People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can't be on time． Of course, the less formal the situation is, the less important it is to be exactly on time． At informal get﹣togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30minutes late． But they usually don't try that at work．American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others． When people plan an event, they often set the time days or weeks before it． Once the time is fixed, it is almost impossible to change it． If people want to come to your house for a friendlyvisit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient． Only very close friends will just "________" unannounced （未通知的）． Also, people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed． The time may be different, but most people think twice about calling after 10: 00pm．Even Americans would agree that no one can master time． Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger． And time, like the weather, is very hard topredict． However, time is one of life's most valuable gifts．（1）． From Paragraph 1， we can learn that________．A.Americans waste lots of money and time．B.people can only control 60minutes a day．C.Americans regard time as something valuable．D.money is more important than time in America．（2）． In Paragraph 3and Paragraph 4， the writer mainly tells us that________．A.Americans respect others' time in daily life．B.Americans never call after ten o'clock．D.Americans arrive days before an event．（3）． The underlined phrase "drop by" probably means "________"．A.give you a call．B.plan an event．e to your house．D.have breakfast with you．（4）． According to this passage，________．A.most American people treasure their time．B.people can master and predict time easily．C.Americans like time better than anything else．D.people are supposed to be on time in all situations．（5）． This passage mainly talks about________．A.all kinds of ways to spend time．B.how Americans treat time．C.some of the American lifestyles．D.different opinions about time．四、填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确，并将答案填写在答卷纸上标号为41-45的相应位置上．She was too nervous to answer her maths teacher's question________ （正确地）．If you want to have good English________ （发音）， you

forms of traditional art． These usually try to represent the things that are important in life such as love， beauty and family． The most common things， from paper to clay to bamboo， are turned into objects of beauty．According to Chinese history， sky lanterns were first used by Zhuge Kongming． He sent them out to ask for help when in trouble． Today， sky lanterns are used at festivals and other celebrations． They are made of bamboo and covered with paper． When the lanterns are lit， they slowly rise into the air like small hot﹣air balloons for all to see． They areseen as bright symbols of happiness and good wishes．Paper cutting has been around for more than 1，500years． Paper cutting sounds very easy but it can be difficult to do． The paper， usually red， is folded before it is cut with scissors． The most common pictures are flowers， fish， animals， and things about Chinese history． During the Spring Festival， they are put on windows， doors and walls as symbols of wishes for good luck and a happy new year．Chinese clay art is famous because the clay pieces are so small but they look very real． The pieces are carefully shaped by hand from a very special kind of clay and then allowed to air﹣dry． After drying， they are fired at a very high heat． They are then polished and painted． Finally， materials such as wood or paper are added to make different things． It takes several weeks to complete everything． These small pieces of clay art show the love that all Chinese people have for life and beauty．Beauty in （56）________

But experts say that in many cases fat dogs and cats are `emotional eaters`(借食消愁). They also eat more than they need simply to deal with boredom or stress, research has found. That means, if they have gained weight, it could be because they have been through a traumatic(造成心灵创伤的)or an emotional event.New studies have also suggested that putting an overweight cat or dog on a diet could make them unhappy. The study shows the obesity(肥胖)rate is as much as 25 percent in cats, and 45 percent in dogs.The problem has been likened to that of Bridget Jones, the singleton(单身)who hides away from her troubled love life by eating, with vets(兽医)believing some pets use food to deal with sadness, according to The Sunday Telegraph.Comfort eating in humans tends to involve high calorie foods which the individual chooses, including ice cream, and chocolate.But research shows animals are less fussy(挑剔的), and will go on a comfort binge(大吃大喝)even if the only food on offer is their usual dog or cat food.He said emotional eating in pets, could be caused by feelings including boredom, anxiety and depression(抑郁).But the research has also suggested overeating could also be a sign of enjoyable emotional state, as well as a bad mood. 1．Who will be often blamed when pets gain weight?A．Pets. B．The owners. C．Vets. D．Experts.2．Why did pets eat too much according to the passage?A．Because pets like to eat.B．Because their owners give them too much food.C．To deal with boredom or stress.D．Because they are too hungry.3．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A．A diet could make an overweight cat or dog happy.B．The obesity rate is higher in cats.C．Pets are more fussy.D．Bridget Jones dealt with her boredom by eating.4．What’s the best title for the passage?A．Fat Dogs and Cats B．Fat Pets Are Emotional EatersC．Overeating D．Owners Are Often BlamedB14、A short Chinese man seems to be the tallest in the world right now. Jack Ma（Ma Yun),50, is executive chairman（董事局主席）of Alibaba Group, a business-to-business online platform. On Sept. 19, Alibaba went public (上市) on the New York Stock Exchange (纽约证卷交易所)，raising $25 billion through an IPO(首次公开发行股票), the biggest in US history. Ma, a former English teacher, has become the richest man on the Chinese mainland.Born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. At the age of 12, he wanted to learn English. Every morning, he woke up at 5 a.m , cycled 40 minutes to a hotel near the West Lake where he could chat to foreign tourists. He did it for nine years, rain or shine.The experience made him a fluent English speaker and also opened his eyes to the wider world. .In a 1995 trip to the US, Ma was showed the Internet for the first time. He searched Yahoo using the word “Beer”, and found that there was nothing in there about China. Seeing the chance, Ma returned to China and set up a website called China Pages without even knowing much about computers.Four years later, 18 people including Ma, his wife and his friends founded Alibaba inHangzhou. He believed in the Internet business potential(潜力) when few other Chinese did. People called him “Crazy Jack Ma”. But 15 years later, Alibaba has developed into the world's largest e-commerce（电子商务）company, owning popular shopping websites like Taobao and Tmall. It makes more profit online than Amazon and e-Bay combined.No one thinks he's mad now. Ma's favorite line has been printed on Alibaba's souvenir T-shirts. It reads: “Everybody should have a dream. What if that dream comes true?”1．（小题1）We can tell from the first paragraph that___________.A．Alibaba Group is the biggest company in ChinaB．Alibaba's IPO has raised $25 billionC．Jack Ma used to be a math teacherD．Jack Ma is the richest man in the world2．（小题2）We can learn from the passage that ___________.A．Ma had learned much about computers before setting up a website called China Pages.B．Alibaba has become the largest e-commerce（电子商务）company in the world.C．Alibaba went public on the New York Stock Exchange last year.D．When he searched Yahoo for the first time , there was a lot of information about China.3．（小题3）Ma and his team founded Alibaba _________.A．in 1995 B．in 1998 C．in 1999 D．in 2014C15、I arrived in Cali, the second largest city in Colombia. The sun was truly shining. Cali was great, the people were friendly and helpful. One thing I knew about Colombia before I came was the coffee. I drank it every day while dreaming about South American adventures in my cold, wet hometown of England.What I wasn’t prepared for was the beauty there. Even the bus ride was a pleasure. I never thought I would say like this in South America. The landscape was so unexpected, I didn’t imagine Colombia to have this much beauty. There lay fresh mountain waterfalls as well as luminous green hills at every turn, it was so amazing!Bogota was my next stop. In the beginning, I thought it was a boring city with nothing different from any other. Then I opened my eyes and my heart. It attracted me. The smiles from the locals were infectious(有感染力的), love poured from their hearts.For me, Bogota and the Colombian people changed my view on everything. I took a walk alone one night to pick up some goods. It was dark, and I was in a strange neighborhood.Yet all I could think about was how safe I felt, I almost felt like I was in my local town. People smiled and carried on with their own business. I walked more slowly and stayed for longer, that moment, I knew I had to change foreigners’ opinion on Colombia.Thinking about the last month in Colombia, I couldn’t believe how much I had fallen in love with it. I’ve done seven countries in seven months and over twenty-five in my lifetime, and Colombia is right up there at number one! It was like a holiday romance.I will always love Colombia and anyone that tells you it is dangerous has obviously never been there before.1．___________ impressed the writer most when he was in Cali.A．Nice weather and mountain waterfallsB．Friendly people and beautiful viewsC．Safe neighborhood and nice peopleD．Tasty coffee and beautiful views2．Which of the statemen ts is the writer’s opinion?A．Cali is the second largest city in Colombia.B．Bogota was great, and the people were friendly.C．The writer has been to seven countries in seven months.D．It is dangerous to travel in Colombia like other countries.3．What writing techniques (手法)does the writer use in Paragraph 4?A．Giving examples B．Making a definitionC．Making a comparison D．Explaining cause and effect4．Who may be interested in this article?A．People who like making coffee by hand.B．People who want to have adventures.C．People who want to do business with others.D．people who like travelling around the world.D16、Your body is special -no two people in the world are alike. Although you are different from everyone else, you have exactly the same body parts as the people around you, doing different jobs that keep all of us alive.What is inside my head?Your head houses the most valuable part of your body-your brain（大脑）. As you are reading, your eyes send pictures to your brain which makes meaning from what you see. Y our brain helps you to remember and think, and makes sure your body is doing what it should.What is my skin(皮肤)for?Your skin covers your body. In most parts of your body, the skin is just as thick as half a centimeter（厘米）. If you have your skin cut, it will have a quick cure（治愈）and stop viruses（病毒）from getting into your body. Y our skin also helps you feel the heat and coldness of the environment around you. Hair grows from inside the skin. When you feel hot, extra（额外的）heat comes out through your skin. As a result, your body temperature drops.How do I move?Muscles（肌肉）are found in most parts of your body. They work with your bones to help you move -whenever you cry or smile, eat or speak, walk or dance, etc.Why do I breathe?Your body needs to take in oxygen（氧气）from the air and give out the unwanted carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the body. When you breathe，air comes through your nose and mouth into your lungs（肺）where oxygen comes to different parts of your bodyWhat makes me sneeze(打喷嚏)?When dust（灰尘）or a strong smell gets into your nose, you sneeze. This is the way your body cleans up the dust in your nose. Y our lungs push out the air and try to clear your noseWhat does my heart do?Your heart is a very special muscle. It is a little bigger than your fist（拳头）and grows bigger as you do. If you place your hand on your heart, you will feel your heart beating which makes blood to move around your body.1．Which part of your body helps you to remember and think?A．Heart. B．Skin. C．Muscles. D．Brain.2．In Paragraph 4, "houses” means ________.A．stores. B．locks. C．creates D．builds3．If you have your skin cut, it will cure quickly and_____.A．extra heat can only stay inside our bodyB．viruses can't get into our body easilyC．we can't feel the changes in temperatureD．our body can be protected by our hair4．What is the true fact about your body?A．Our heart is the same size from birth.B．We take in carbon dioxide to stay alive.C．Our muscles stop working when we nod.D．Sneezing is a way to clear our nose.5．Which is the best title for this passage?A．What Your Body Needs B．When Your Body MovesC．Why Your Body Grows D．How Your Body WorksE17、Our factories and homes burn coal and oil. Every year we have forest fires somewhere. Many scientists believe that the weather is changing.The earth will perhaps be warmed by about 7℃ at the South Pole(极) and the North Pole. The ice will be melt(融化). The sea level(平面) will rise by about 7 meters. As a result, water will cover cities like London, Tokyo and New York. Some ports(港口) and towns along the coasts will disappear under water.Some other scientists think that the dust, smoke and pollution from coal, wood and oil fires will block out(封闭) the ultraviolet rays(紫外线). Then the earth will become colder and great sheets of ice will cover Europe and North America.When chemicals in the air mix with rain, we have acid(酸) rain. Acid rain can bring us great harm. It destroys(破坏) forests and kills life in lakes and rivers.People are beginning to see how serious the problem is. They find it important to work with nature instead of against it. They are trying to save the earth in many different ways. But one of the most important things to do is to make people understand that saving the earth is saving ourselves.根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。

dog days翻译

dog days翻译"Dog days"是一个英文短语，指的是夏天最热的日子。

这个短语来源于古罗马的传统，人们认为炎热的天气和狗有关，因为它们在炎热的天气中会懒洋洋地躺在地上。

这个短语通常用来形容夏季的酷热天气，特别是7月至9月期间。

"Dog days"一词还有另外一种涵义，指的是无聊、单调或无趣的日子。

这个意义的起源还不确定，但可能与罗马人在夏季经常放假、活动减少有关。

以下是一些关于"dog days"的用法和中英文对照的例句：1. The dog days of summer can be unbearable in some parts of the world.夏季的酷热天气在世界某些地方是难以忍受的。

2. I can't wait for the dog days to be over so that I can enjoy cooler temperatures.我迫不及待地想让这个酷热的夏季过去，这样我就可以享受更凉爽的温度了。

3. The city becomes quiet and deserted during the dog days of summer.夏季的酷热天气，城市变得安静而荒芜。

初中英语名词练习题及答案解析

初中英语名词练习题1．At 10 a.m. on April 4, 2020, people all over China stood in ________ to mourn (哀悼) those who died in the novel corona-virus disease.A．fear B．silence C．surprise D．peace【答案】B【解析】【详解】句意：2020年4月4日上午10点。

全国人民肃立默哀，悼念死于新型冠状病毒病的人。

考查名词辨析。

fear恐惧；silence沉默；surprise惊讶；peace和平；stand in silence无声地，表示“默哀”，根据“mourn those who died in the novel corona-virus disease.”可知，悼念死于新型冠状病毒病的人，由此可推测出，此处使用silence，符合语境。

故选B。

2．Our PE teacher ________ tall and he ________ of medium build.A．has; has B．has; is C．is; has D．is; is【答案】D【解析】【详解】句意：我们的体育老师个子高，中等身材。

考查主系表结构。

has有；is是。

第一空后是一个形容词tall，前面主语是单数名词，构成主系表结构，所以用is，排除AB选项。

be of medium build“中等身材”，and连接两个并列结构，前后一致，也用is，故选D。

3．—Come and see me in ________.—With pleasure. That’s what I’m expecting.A．two or three day B．two or three day’s time C．two or three days’ time D．two or three day’s【答案】C【解析】【详解】句意：——两三天后来看我。

Dog days or Dog years?ID: 11681 Time required15 minutes Activity OverviewIn this activity, students will use ordered pairs, table of values, and a scatter plot to determine a function that represents real world data. Students will respond to questions about dog ages in human years, domain, range, and how the slope appears to be changing in the data/graph. In the extension students will use what they have learned in the activity to analyze cat’s ages.Topic: Linear Functions•Representing input/output values as ordered pairs•Analyzing data from table of value and scatter plot•Determining functions to represent linear dataTeacher Preparation and Notes•Teacher preparation includes instruction with vocabulary such as domain and range, and how to plot data values on the coordinate plane.•Much student learning can take place in a discussion of such “common knowledge” as a dog’s age is equal to 7 human years. The website mentioned in the file () states that this is a common misconception, and that dog experts have provided the information used to program the online conversion calculator. The extension involves students finding an online conversion for a cat’s age. This can lead to excellent comparisons and higher order thinking by the student.•Notes for using the TI-Nspire™ Navigator™ System are included throughout the activity. The use of the Navigator System is not necessary for completion of this activity.•To download the student and solution TI-Nspire documents (.tns files) and student worksheet, go to education.ti.co m/exchange and enter “11681” in the quick search box.Associated Materials•DogDaysorDogYears.tns•DogDaysorDogYears_Soln.tns•DogDaysorDogYears_Student.docSuggested Related ActivitiesTo download any activity listed, go to /exchange and enter the number in thequick search box.•Body Relationships (TI-84 Plus with TI-Navigator) — 8538•Balloons (TI-84 Plus family with TI-Navigator) — 8535•Chirp, Jump, Scatter (TI-Nspire technology) — 11515Problem 1 – Ordered PairsThe website was used to obtain the data used in this activity. On page 1.2 is a dynamic functionmachine, where students are to changethe number on the left side of the dog. Thenumber on the right side is updatedwith each change. The dog is referred toas Spot on the worksheet and on theTI-Nspire document. Using this model,students are to develop ordered pairs thatfollow the format (dog’s age, equivalenthuman age). Encourage students to tryages other than whole numbers. (i.e.,enter 6.5 for years.)On the worksheet, students are told that the common claim about dog’s age in human years is each dog year is equal to 7 human years. They should be able to determine ordered pairs from this information, but if not explain to them that if a dog is 2 years old, its body is equal to that of a 14 year old human. If a dog lives 10 years, it is like being a 70 year old human.Students should see that early on it mayseem that Spot’s age follows the claim, hisage does not support the claim after about6 years old.Problem 2 – Table of Values andScatter PlotOn page 2.2, students are given a table ofvalues,dog’s age in Column A and the equivalenthuman inColumn B, and the scatter plot of this data.Discuss with students what information they cangather from the table or the scatter plot that theycould not from the converter on page 1.2. They canuse the Graph Trace feature to arrow through thedata points on the scatter plot.They should notice a pattern developing fromthe table, a steady increase in human ageafter dog age of 2. Students should notice achange in slope in the scatter plot at age 2.The table ends at age 8 dog years. Askstudents how they can predict the age of adog older than 8. Then explain to students thatthey will be using the data to find functionswhich will help them make predictions.Students are to use 2 two points from each partof the graph to the write functions or equations of a line. They may need to use the Calculatorscratchpad to compute the slope.TI-Nspire Navigator Opportunity: Screen Capture See Note 1 at the end of this lesson.After writing the functions, students cangraph themon the scatter plot back on page 2.2. Theyshouldpress to reveal the function entryline. This could provide an introduction to a discussion about the use of piecewisefunctions. For this graph, it would beStudents can now use the graph to predict the human age of a dog older than 8 using the Graph Trace feature.They are to also determine the domain and rangefor the relationship between dog years and human years (x ≥0, y ≥0). If needed, remind students that the domain is the set of input values for a function (x-values of the ordered pairs) and the range is the set of output values for a function (the y-values ofthe ordered pairs). In conclusion to the activity,students are to determine from their analysis ofthe data if the claim, 1 dog year = 7 human years,is true or false.Extension/Homework – Cat Age ConverterPage 3.2 is another dynamic input/output machine likethe dog age converter on page 1.2. Students aretochange the input on left side (cat’s age) and therightside will automatically update. They should record the input/output values in the spreadsheet on page 3.3. Column A is titled cat_age and Column B is titled human_age.Students should make a scatter plot and then findfunctions to represent the different parts of the plot.The piecewise function that can be used to describethe data isThe website /home/ages.html wasused to obtain the information for this extension.TI-Nspire Navigator OpportunitiesNote 1Problem 1: Screen CaptureUse screen capture to verify students are following the instructions correctly and able to find thefunctions that model the data.。
