Today, most of Mars is as dry as a desert except for ice deposits in its polar regions. Where did the rest of the water go?Some of it disappeared into space. Water molecules, beaten by particles of solar wind, broke apart into hydrogen and oxygen atoms, and those, especially the lighter hydrogen atoms, sped out of the atmosphere, lost to outer space.But most of the water, a new study concludes, went down, sucked into the red planet's rocks. And there it remains, trapped within minerals and salts. Indeed, as much as 99% of the water that once flowed on Mars could still be there, the researchers estimated in a paper published this week in the journal Science. Bethany Ehlmann, a professor of planetary science at the California Institute of Technology and one of the authors of the paper, said that as the rocks are altered by liquid water, water molecules become incorporated (并入) into minerals like clays.The data and simulations indicated that the water on Mars was almost all gone by 3 billion years ago, around the tune on Earth when life consisted of singlecell microbes in the oceans. Without a time machine, there is no way to observe directly how much water was on a younger Mars more than 3 billion years ago. But the hydrogen atoms floating today in the atmosphere of Mars preserve a ghostly hint of the ancient ocean.On Earth, about 1 in 5, 000 hydrogen atoms is a version known as deuterium (重氢；氢的同位素) that is twice as heavy because its nucleus contains both a neutron and a proton. But on Mars, the concentration of deuterium is markedly higher, about 1 in 700. Scientists at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center who reported this finding in 2015 said this could be used to calculate the amount of water Mars once had.1．Why can't water be found on Mars now except for ice deposits in polar regions?A．Because it was transformed into deuterium.B．Because it was beaten into particles by solar wind.C．Because most of it was integrated and some disappeared.D．Because it broke down into hydrogen and oxygen atoms.2．What is implied about deuterium in the last paragraph?A．It is twice the weight of hydrogen.B．Its nucleus contains a neutron and a proton.C．Its concentration on Earth is markedly higher than on Mars.D．It enlightens scientists on the measurement of water on Mars.3．In which section of a newspaper may this article appear?A．Science. B．Travel.C．Entertainment. D．Education.4．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Mars: Once Wet, Now DryB．Atoms: Hydrogen or DeuteriumC．Microbes: Singlecell or MulticellD．Water Vanished: This Might Be Where It Went篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

Then 4.5-3.8 billion years ago it became a solid globe of exploding fire and rock, which produced the gases of its atmosphere. As it cooled down water appeared on its surface, making it possible for tiny plants to develop and grow there, filling the oceans with oxygen and encouraging the development of other forms of life both in the sea and on land. As plants grew into forests, huge dinosaurs developed. But 65 million years ago they disappeared, allowing mammals to spread. Then 2.6 million years ago small clever mammals with hands and feet began to appear and became the most important animal on Earth. But they are not looking after Earth well and some scientists believe Earth may eventually become too hot to live on as a result. (By Ray Cama)Pre-reading activitiesTask I. 略Task II．略Task III．略。

2017-2018学年人教版高中英语必修三全册课后能力提升训练含解析Unit 1课下能力提升(一)阅读理解AHalloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31, before All Saints Day. The word “Halloween”is a shortening of All Hallows Evening, also known as Halloween or All Hallows' Eve.Traditional activities include trickortreating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting“ghost houses”and cutting jackolanterns.Halloween has its origins in the ancient festival known as Samhain (pronounced“sah-win”). The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped (重叠) and the dead would come back to life and cause destruction such as sickness or damaged crops.The festival frequently includes bonfires. It is believed that the fires attract the harmful insects to the area which attract bats to the area to eat them. These are additional features of the history of Halloween.Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to imitate the evil spirits.Trickortreating is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they go on from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as candies with the question，“Trick or treat？”Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should buy treat in preparation for trick-or-treaters.The history of Halloween has evolved. The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Canada. Bad trickortreating has started to happen among children in many parts of Europe. In continental Europe, where the commerce-driven importation of Halloween is seen with more illegal“tricks”and police warnings have further raised doubt about this game and Halloween in general.1．What does Halloween refer to?A．All Saints Day. B．All Hallows' Eve.C．Easter. D．Thanksgiving.2．Why did the dead come back to life in Gaelic culture?A．Because the dead missed their relatives and families.B．Because they felt bored and wanted to travel in the living world.C．Because the lines between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped on that day.D．Because the living people were once cruel to those who died.3．We can infer from the fourth paragraph that ________．A．the bonfires are the origin of HalloweenB．people make a fire to keep warmC．the bonfires can burn all the harmful insectsD．people believe that the bonfires work a lot4．What is the best title of the passage?A．The influence of HalloweenB．The meaning of HalloweenC．The main activities of HalloweenD．Halloween —a festival connected with the deadBAround the world there are some festivals that for some of us may sound bizarre．In England they celebrate the rolling cheese race, which occurs every year during the last Monday in May. This festival's characteristic is a contest where an official (参与者) rolls cheese down a steep hill and festival-goers go chasing after it. The winner is the first one to reach and catch the cheese.Another festival celebrated in England is the world championship of grimaces (鬼脸)．It is a celebration that dates back to 1297 and is celebrated during the month of September. The task is to perform the best grimace using anything you can to win.The worldwide championship of wife lifting is celebrated in Finland. The game is based on Viking traditions where a man should carry away his neighbor's wife. According to the rules, any woman above 17 is considered as a wife, so if you are within this age, take care while visiting this country during the month of July.Many of you have watched PiratesoftheCaribbean and have known something about pirates. The 19th of September has been declared worldwide as the day to talk like a pirate. Plenty of people have celebrated it thanks to the publicity (宣传) on the Internet.First staged in 1998, the Boryeong Mud Festival is an attraction that pulls more than a million visitors to the South Korean city. As you all know, the town is said to be rich in minerals, so there is no shortage of mud. Mud is trucked onto Daecheon Beach for tourists and locals to enjoy the festival to their best.The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in Thailand to develop tourism. It's an annual feast held for about 600 monkeys. The Monkey Buffet Festival is held in honor of the Hindu gods Ram and Hanuman and involves 3，000 kilograms of vegetables and fruits being laid out for monkeys to stuff themselves.5．What does the underlined word“bizarre”in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Dangerous. B．Strange.C．Scary. D．Familiar.6．If a participant wants to win in the rolling cheese race, he/she should ________．A．roll as much cheese down the hill as possibleB．find the largest piece of cheese rolling downhillC．perform the best grimace when chasing the cheeseD．be the first one to catch the cheese rolling downhill7．According to the writer, a girl above 17 should be careful when enjoying ________．A．the worldwide championship of wife liftingB．the world championship of grimacesC．the Boryeong Mud FestivalD．the Monkey Buffet Festival8．If you are interested in the Boryeong Mud Festival, you should go to ________．A．England B．FinlandC．South Korea D．ThailandCSpain is a country that lies in southwestern Europe. It's surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea on the south and the east, while to the north of Spain lie France, Andorra and the Bay of Biscay. The west and northwest of Spain are surrounded by Portugal and the Atlantic Ocean.The official name of the state is the Kingdom of Spain. Madrid is the capital city, which is also one of the famous places in Spain. Spain, which covers 506，000 square meters, is one of the largest countries in Europe.The weather in Spain differs from one area to another. Most of the rain that happens in Spain is in the mountainous areas. The plains hardly receive any rainfall.Soccer in Spain is an important part of life of the people in Spain. It's said that Spanish children learn to walk and play soccer at exactly the same time. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona are two Spanish soccer teams, which are respected by soccer fans not only in Spain, but all over the world. The popularity of the sport can be judged from the fact that three major soccer teams, which are Real Madrid, Atletico de Madrid, and Rayo Vallecano, were born in Madrid.If you are a tourist, then you would want to know about the driving rules in Spain. If you're not from the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein, then for you to drive you'll have to carry your international driver's license. Bad news if you haven't celebrated your 18th birthday. If you want to rent a car, then you must have completed 21 years of age. If you're driving, make sure you carry all the documents on you at all times during your stay in Spain.9．Paragraph 1 is mainly about ________．A．the history of SpainB．the location of SpainC．famous cities in SpainD．neighboring countries of Spain10．What is the best example showing that soccer is popular in Spain?A．There major soccer teams were born in Madrid.B．Spanish people enjoy watching soccer matches.C．Spanish people play soccer when they are walking.D．Spanish soccer teams have fans all over the world.11．Who is allowed to rent a car in Spain?A．Tom who is 17 years old.B．Jenny who is 19 years old.C．Mike who is 20 years old.D．Brown who is 22 years old.12．The purpose of the passage is to ________．A．explain how to enjoy life in SpainB．prove Spain is a beautiful countryC．make readers know more about SpainD．attract more people to pay a visit to Spain答案：语篇解读：本文是说明文。

2018高中英语人教版必修三练习：unit 4 课下能力提升(十三) 含解析
Unit 4 课下能力提升(十三)阅读理解AOf all the planets, none has captured (吸引) the world's imagination like Mars.Its reddish (淡红的) color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H．G.Wells' The War of the Worlds.Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars.Wells described Martians as threatening.Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans —not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited (沿轨道运行), landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it.Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring,Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma.They heard about Mars and its geology from experts.They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976.They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet.Eightyearold Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said，“It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.”Emma issix.She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars.She said，“The closest thing to Mars —the stuff —is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day”offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Martians were considered threatening.B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D．How H．G.Wells got the idea for his science fiction.2．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________．A．today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB．today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC．science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars3．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot onMars?A．He thinks it may happen in this year.B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.4．The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”might NOT offer people a chance to ________．A．learn about the surface of MarsB．see a test version of some Viking landersC．see meteorites known to have come from MarsD．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronautBWhen I arrived at 6 am in the hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags (标签) on the trays (托盘)．“Hi, I'm Janet.”I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. “I'm scheduled to work with you this week.”Rose, a middleaged woman, stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee？” I asked.Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.。

Unit 4课下能力提升(十六)Ⅰ.阅读理解I didn't go to Colorado to ski.I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning, we sat in a small classroom and our instructor, Robert, told us what to expect. The course, he explained, was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us，”Robert assured the class, “you'll be fine.”On a snowy day when I was 4, I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day, but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed, I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the halfmile to school in the morning.That first morning in Colorado, after we left the classroom and headed out to the track, my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina, it's your turn.”I was lightheaded. I carefully did what I was instructed to do but when I turned, I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice, my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop, I sat rigid, trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely, wasn't I?I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.For the rest of the class, I continued practising, and I got better enough so that a week later, when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground, I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this，”I told myself. And I did.1．In the classroom, Robert intended to help participants to ________．A．know each otherB．build up confidenceC．learn about the courseD．put theory into practice2．The accident made the author afraid to ________．A．have kids in her carB．drive on snowy daysC．drive long distancesD．be in a car by herself3．What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?A．Mixed.B．Puzzled.C．Thankful. D．Regretful.4．What do we know about the class?A．It's tiring. B．It's helpful.C．It's expensive. D．It's interesting.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Most of us believe that we know ourselves better than anyone in this world. But a lot of people are still strangers to themselves. Why? 1.________ If you are one of those who want to know yourself better, these steps will guide you.Take some time to write down things that you know very well about yourself —your interests, likes, dislikes, preferences, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, fears, dreams and so on. 2.________ By creating a list of your personal characteristics that you are familiar with, you are keeping yourself in touch with yourself.Take personality and psychological tests. The Internet has a rich source of free online personality and psychological assessments and tests. 3.________Know yourself better by understanding people's perceptions (看法) about you.4.________ Sometimes, you think you know yourself enough, but other people who see you from their point of view can offer you some insights (洞察力) as to how you act and get understood by others. Be careful, however, to balance all perceptions to come up with an objective view about yourself.5．________ It's a lifetime process. Every day you will be given new insights about yourself. Writing a journal will help you keep track of these new discoveries. Maintaining that hunger for knowing yourself better will make you more self-aware, which will open up new opportunities to enrich your life.A．Keep on learning who you are.B．By answering them, you will understand more about yourself.C．Reflect on these qualities and find out how they influence your life.D．You should have the confidence that you can do well in some fields.E．Pay attention to what your family, friends and teachers say about you.F．Spend time comparing yourself with others, and you'll know yourself better.G．Not everyone is courageous enough to really achieve a better self-understanding.Ⅲ.完形填空When Iqbal Masih was four years old, his desperately poor, uneducated parents sold him to a carpet maker for $200.

You can ask them to help you analyze the reasons for your fail and ask them for effective learning method.

高中英语人教版必修三练习：Unit 4 课下能力提升(十三) 含解析
Unit 4课下能力提升(十三)阅读理解AOf all the planets, none has captured (吸引) the world's imagination like Mars.Its reddish (淡红的) color and changes in brightness over time make the planet an unforgettable sight.In Cosmos, the television science series from the 1980s, scientist Carl Sagan talked about some traditional ideas about Mars.Some of these ideas are from the English science fiction writer H．G.Wells' The War of the Worlds.Others are from the mistaken science of Percival Lowell, the American astronomer who believed intelligent beings lived on Mars.Wells described Martians as threatening.Lowell imagined them as the hopeful engineers of great works.Carl Sagan said that both ideas influenced the public deeply.Today, Mars continues to excite humans —not as the object of science fiction but of scientific study.Space scientists have collected a wealth of information from spacecrafts that have orbited (沿轨道运行), landed on and dug into the Martian surface.The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”offered a chance for people of all ages to touch Mars, or at least a piece of it.Allison and Alycia from Silver Spring, Maryland, brought their children, Grace, Sam, Ryan and Emma.They heard about Mars and its geology from experts.They could see a test version of the Viking landers that reached Mars in July of 1976.They also saw meteorites (陨星) known to have come from the red, or reddish planet.Eightyearold Sam learned that the ancient description of Mars as red is not exactly right.He said，“It's actually orangish more than red and it's also kind of brown.”Emma is six.She learned about the volcanic activity that has shaped the surface of Mars.She said，“The closest thing to Mars —the stuff —is from volcanoes mostly.”“Mars Day”offered Allison and Alycia's children a chance to learn more about a world that they are very likely to set foot on within their lifetimes.1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why Martians were considered threatening.B．Why Mars has captured the world's imagination.C．What people generally thought of Mars in the past.D．How H．G.Wells got the idea for his science fiction.2．It is implied in Paragraph 3 that ________．A．today's space scientists still know nothing about MarsB．today's space scientists are very interested in MarsC．science fiction films are no longer set in MarsD．space scientists haven't made any progress in knowing Mars3．What is the writer's attitude toward the idea that humans will set foot on Mars?A．He thinks it may happen in this year.B．He thinks it will always remain a dream.C．He thinks it will come true within hundreds of years.D．He thinks it may happen in the following decades.4．The Smithsonian's “Mars Day”might NOT offer people a chance to ________．A．learn about the surface of MarsB．see a test version of some Viking landersC．see meteorites known to have come from MarsD．sit in a spacecraft to experience the life of an astronautBWhen I arrived at 6 am in the hospital kitchen, Rose was already checking name tags (标签) on the trays (托盘)．“Hi, I'm Janet.”I tried to sound cheerful, although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with. “I'm scheduled to work with you this week.”Rose, a middleaged woman, stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses. I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker.“What do you want me to do? Start the coffee？” I asked.Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags.I filled the 40cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled, “That's not the way to make coffee！” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her.Back at home, I stayed alone in my room, fighting back tears. I thought, “Maybe she didn't feel well. Maybe she had some trouble.”I decided to forgive her and try to get along with her.The next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose's way as much as possible.Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me, and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting. The icy tension began to melt away.Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time she seemed happy to see me. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her —something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who neededher care and her own health problems.That summer I learned a lesson I've never forgotten. The world is full of people like Rose —annoying, demanding, unlovable —yet hurting inside. I've found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend.5．What was Rose's attitude towards the author the first day they met?A．Polite.B．Curious.C．Dissatisfied. D．Unashamed.6．After getting home from work the first day, the author ________．A．was very tired B．felt quite upsetC．was pretty lonely D．felt generally unwell7．What did the author do after her first day of working with Rose?A．She hurt Rose. B．She helped Rose.C．She ignored Rose. D．She tolerated Rose.8．What can we infer from the text?A．Never judge by appearances.B．Friendship is love with understanding.C．Misfortunes test the sincerity of friends.D．Man has not a greater enemy than himself.CIt seems we can't get off the planet fast enough. Two thirds of NASA's money is spent on manned space exploration, and that number will grow with the USA's decision to send a man to Mars in 2037. We've seen all there is to see on Earth, right? Wrong. The final place is here, under the surface of the sea.Heading down into the ocean, human limits are quickly reached. At 200 metres, the water is as black as a moonless night. Most nuclear submarines (核潜艇) would implode (内爆) before they reach 1 km down. At 3 km —still less than the average depth of the ocean —there's a good chance that you'll discover a new species. The deepest-diving whales go no further. At the very bottom, about 11 km down, lies the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Eighteen humans have walked on the Moon, but only three have seen the Deep with their own eyes.Yet things live down there. Big things. A very loud sound was once heard and scientists suggested that it was produced by an animal bigger than a blue whale, the largest creature knownon the planet.In the late 1990s, deepwater submarine was dropped in the Southern Ocean, and passing 4，000 metres, it discovered something huge passing under it. Surprised? Don't be. The ocean covers 70% of the planet's surface and we've studied less than 5% of it. We know more about the dark side of the Moon than about the bottom of the sea.One reason that we explore space is to find evidence of other life forms. The search for life outside of Earth is important, but robots can look under the dry rocks of Mars better than humans. They're absolutely important for doing ocean research too, but they can't look under the sea. The cost of exploration is rising, but the results would benefit all our lives. Understanding the oceans will help us find new sources of food, drugs and energy.Perhaps now it's time to begin a new period of sea exploration. Manned exploration of space is science fiction (科幻小说). The adventure of the deep sea is science fact.9．What do we know about the Challenger Deep?A．Blue whales live there.B．No one has ever been there.C．People are terrified by the sight of it.D．It is the deepest known location on Earth.10．What does the author think of the discovery in the Southern Ocean?A．It's surprising. B．It's no wonder.C．It's worrying. D．It's no success.11．Why do we need to explore the sea?A．Sea exploration is cheaper than ever before.B．We have explored less than 5% of the sea.C．It will help improve our future life.D．It will benefit space exploration.12．What does the author want to tell us?A．Space exploration is of little value.B．We spend too much money on space travel.C．Humans' success lies in how much they explore the sea.D．The ocean is the place where we should make our efforts.答案：语篇解读：在“火星日”，人们可以对火星有更好的了解和认识。

Many of our TV programs come to US through satellites．Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location．We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another．They are usually 35，880 kilometers above the equator．Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place．This is because it is moving around the world at 11，000 kilometers an hour—exactly the same speed that the earth rotates．A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae(天线)facing the earth．Sometimes, it moves away from its orbit，So there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position．This usually happens about every five or six days．Space is not empty! Every week, more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes brought back to Earth to be repaired．Often，very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time．This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and they can crash into each other．9.Which of the following is NOT done by satellites according to the passage?A．Sending information for weather forecast B．Taking photographs of the Earth C．Sending TV pictures D．Providing food for airplane pilots10.What’s the speed the earth rotates at?A．35,880 kilometers per hour．B．335,880 kilometers per hourC．11,000 kilometers per hour．D．110,000 kilometers per hour11.Which is true of satellites?A．A satellite usually works for about 10-12 years．B．Every time a satellite gets broken，it is brought back to the Earth to be repaired．C．A broken satellite is never left in spaceD．They often crash into each other．DOne night Mr. Lee was driving his wife home from work.

高中英语人教版必修三练习：Unit 4 课下能力提升(十六) 含解析
Unit 4课下能力提升(十六)Ⅰ.阅读理解I didn't go to Colorado to ski.I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning, we sat in a small classroom and our instructor, Robert, told us what to expect. The course, he explained, was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us，”Robert assured the class, “you'll be fine.”On a snowy day when I was 4, I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day, but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed, I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the halfmile to school in the morning.That first morning in Colorado, after we left the classroom and headed out to the track, my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina, it's your turn.”I was lightheaded. I carefully did what I was instructed to do but when I turned, I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice, my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop, I sat rigid, trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely, wasn't I?I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.For the rest of the class, I continued practising, and I got better enough so that a week later, when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground, I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this，”I told myself. And I did.1．In the classroom, Robert intended to help participants to ________．A．know each otherB．build up confidenceC．learn about the courseD．put theory into practice2．The accident made the author afraid to ________．A．have kids in her carB．drive on snowy daysC．drive long distancesD．be in a car by herself3．What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?A．Mixed.B．Puzzled.C．Thankful.

You can ask them to help you analyze the reasons for your fail and ask them for effective learning method. Anyhow, studying hardly and improving your grades are the key to solving your problem.Yours，Li Hua答案：Ⅰ.语篇解读：本文是记叙文。

Unit 4 Space Exploration 能力提升素养练习Ⅰ.阅读理解AA Russian actor and film director left Earth on a spaceship this week to start filming a movie. Russian officials says the movie will shine a light on Russia's success in space. Dmitry Peskov is press secretary for President Vladimir Putin. “We have been pioneers in space and maintained a confident position，” Peskov said, adding that space exploration is great for Russia.Actor Yulia Peresild and director Klim Shipenko took off from a site in Kazahkstan Tuesday with cosmonaut Anton Shkaplerov. They arrived about three hours later at the International Space Station where they will stay for 12 days. The future film is called Challenge. It tells the story of a doctor who hurries to the space station to help an astronaut with a heart problem. The passengers had four months to get ready for the space trip. Peresild said training for the trip was difficult. But, she said, once they reached their goal, “all that will seem not so difficult and we will remember it with a smile.” Shipenko said he would finish the movie back home after filming in space. Two other Russian cosmonauts already on the space station will also perform in the movie. Dmitry Rogozin heads the Russian space agency Roscosmos and has been a major force behind the project.“Space deserves being shown in a more professional, artful way，” he said. Rogozin said he edited the script himself to correctly represent the realities of space travel. “We describe some real emergencies that may happen out there，” he said. Oleg Novitskiy is an experienced Russian cosmonaut. He will play the character with the heart problem in the movie. When that is done, he will return to captain's seat of the Soyuz spacecraft and bring the actor and director back to Earth.1．What can we learn from Dmitry Peskov's words?A．President Vladimir Putin thought the movie was great.B．Russia is in the leading position in space exploration.C．The actor and film director are pioneers to make film.D．The Russian government is confident of the launch mission.2．Who is probably going to play the role of doctor according to the passage?A．Yulia Peresild.B．Klim Shipenko.C．Dmitry Rogozin.D．Oleg Novitskiy.3．What do we know about the movie?A．It will be completely finished in space.B．The script was written by Rogozin.C．It will reflect some real emergencies in space.D．The roles will all be played by professional actors.4．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the passage?A．Russia's Great Space Exploration.B．International Space Station.C．An Emergency in Space.D．Challenge: A Movie Made in Space.BNothing draws attention to your new product like using it to send fast food into space. In June, Arizonabased World View Enterprises demonstrated the potential of its pioneering Stratollite—a sort of mini satellite that uses a balloon to take goods into the stratosphere (平流层) by partnering KFC to ferry a 5ounce piece of fried chicken 77,000 feet into the space. “We took a chicken sandwich, launched it into space for 17 hours, and when it came back, it was perfect，” says the former CEO of World View Enterprises Jane Poynter.Poynter's final goal is to send tourists to the edge of space, tied to the company's balloons, and to make the final frontier more accessible for research. Stratollites are inexpensive, compact, and easy to operate, ideal for monitoring weather patterns and providing military reconnaissance (侦察) or emergency communications during natural disasters. They can also do what traditional satellites can't do: spend months above a specific location without moving.Though Poynter did not formally train as an engineer, she has spent her career in leading space research. The British native trained her skills as a technical manager for Biosphere 2, an Arizona research facility built to test a selfenclosed, selfsufficient ecosystem. Its creators hoped it could one day be adapted for use in space. She spent two years in the early 1990s sealed inside with seven others, experiencing everything from oxygen failures to colleagues' emotional breakdowns.Poynter met her future husband, Taber MacCallum, on the project, and afterward, the couple formed Paragon Space Development Corporation. They began devising biospheres that could supportplant and animal life in orbit (轨道)．“We showed it's possible for animals to live in an environment they are not used to: microgravity，” Poynter says.In 2014, Poynter and MacCallum achieved another first. They led the engineering team that helped Alan Eustace skydive from the edge of the stratosphere. That's when it hit them: The balloonparachute system they designed for Eustace could be modified for tourism and research. So they formed World View Enterprises, with MacCallum serving as a chief technical officer.The company has a contract with NASA to determine if the system could someday be used to gather data on Mars. “Taking Stratollites and flying them on other planets,” Poynter says. “That's definitely a part of the big dream.”5．Stratollites are different from traditional satellites in that they can .A．stay motionless in spaceB．move about in a bigger areaC．provide emergency communicationsD．survive better in a situation without gravity6．What can be inferred from the passage about Biosphere 2?A．It was adapted from a spaceship that used to work in space.B．It was intended to become an ideal place for space research.C．The participants all experienced some kind of emotional breakdown.D．The participants were isolated from the outside world for some time.7．What does the pronoun “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A．Poynter and MacCallum have helped Alan Eustace to skydive.B．MacCallum will serve as a chief technical officer in World View.C．The system designed for Eustace can be used for more purposes.D．Poynter and MacCallum hope to achieve more firsts in their career.8．What is World View Enterprise’s big dream?A．Partnering NASA to do research on other planets.B．Using balloons to send tourists or researchers into space.C．Giving people more opportunities to try extreme sports in space.D．Working with food companies to send food to astronauts in space.C(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)The connection between people and plants has long been the subject of scientific research. Recent studies have found positive effects. A study conducted in Youngstown, Ohio, for example, discovered that greener areas of the city experienced less crime. In another, employees were shown to be 15% more productive when their workplaces were decorated with houseplants.The engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have taken it a step further—changing the actual composition of plants in order to get them to perform diverse, even unusual functions. These include plants that have sensors printed onto their leaves to show when they're short of water and a plant that can detect harmful chemicals in groundwater. “We're thinking about how we can engineer plants to replace functions of the things that we use every day，” explained Michael Strano, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT.One of his latest projects has been to make plants glow (发光) in experiments using some common vegetables. Strano's team found that they could create a faint light for threeandahalf hours. The light, about onethousandth of the amount needed to read by, is just a start. The technology, Strano said, could one day be used to light the rooms or even to turn trees into selfpowered street lamps.In the future, the team hopes to develop a version of the technology that can be sprayed onto plant leaves in a oneoff treatment that would last the plant's lifetime. The engineers are also trying to develop an on and off “switch” where the glow would fade when exposed to daylight.Lighting accounts for about 7% of the total electricity consumed in the US. Since lighting is often far removed from the power source (电源)—such as the distance from a power plant to street lamps on a remote highway—a lot of energy is lost during transmission (传输)．Glowing plants could reduce this distance and therefore help save energy.9．What is the first paragraph mainly about?A．A new study of different plants.B．A big fall in crime rates.C．Employees from various workplaces.D．Benefits from green plants.10．What is the function of the sensors printed on plant leaves by MIT engineers?A．To detect plants' lack of water.B．To change compositions of plants.C．To make the life of plants longer.D．To test chemicals in plants.11．What can we expect of the glowing plants in the future?A．They will speed up energy production.B．They may transmit electricity to the home.C．They might help reduce energy consumption.D．They could take the place of power plants.12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Can we grow more glowing plants?B．How do we live with glowing plants?C．Could glowing plants replace lamps?D．How are glowing plants made pollutionfree?Ⅱ.应用文写作最近，你班同学就“太空探索是否值得”这一话题展开了讨论。

高中英语人教版必修三练习：Unit 4 课下能力提升(十六) 含解析
Unit 4课下能力提升(十六)Ⅰ.阅读理解I didn't go to Colorado to ski.I went because I was persuaded to attend a two-day class at the Bridgestone Winter Driving School there.Everyone in my family came along with me. The first morning, we sat in a small classroom and our instructor, Robert, told us what to expect. The course, he explained, was designed to make the cars slip and slide on ice and snow. “If you listen to us，”Robert assured the class, “you'll be fine.”On a snowy day when I was 4, I had a car accident. I wasn't seriously hurt that day, but over the years the shock transformed into anxiety. When it snowed, I often called another parent at the elementary school my daughter attends to ask if he or she wouldn't mind driving my daughter the halfmile to school in the morning.That first morning in Colorado, after we left the classroom and headed out to the track, my heart was racing. By the time Robert said, “Cristina, it's your turn.”I was lightheaded. I carefully did what I was instructed to do but when I turned, I pulled the wheel too hard and hit a block of ice, my car turning almost 180 degrees. When the car came to a stop, I sat rigid, trying to catch my breath. Part of me wanted to get out and never drive again. But I was sitting there safely, wasn't I?I had overcome one of my greatest fears — losing control of the car. I even felt a little excited.For the rest of the class, I continued practising, and I got better enough so that a week later, when I arrived home and there was snow on the ground, I didn't even think about calling another parent to drive my daughter to school. “I can do this，”I told myself. And I did.1．In the classroom, Robert intended to help participants to ________．A．know each otherB．build up confidenceC．learn about the courseD．put theory into practice2．The accident made the author afraid to ________．A．have kids in her carB．drive on snowy daysC．drive long distancesD．be in a car by herself3．What can best describe the author's feelings after the first practice?A．Mixed.B．Puzzled.C．Thankful. D．Regretful.4．What do we know about the class?A．It's tiring. B．It's helpful.C．It's expensive. D．It's interesting.Ⅱ.任务型阅读Most of us believe that we know ourselves better than anyone in this world. But a lot of people are still strangers to themselves. Why? 1.________ If you are one of those who want to know yourself better, these steps will guide you.Take some time to write down things that you know very well about yourself —your interests, likes, dislikes, preferences, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, fears, dreams and so on. 2.________ By creating a list of your personal characteristics that you are familiar with, you are keeping yourself in touch with yourself.Take personality and psychological tests. The Internet has a rich source of free online personality and psychological assessments and tests. 3.________Know yourself better by understanding people's perceptions (看法) about you.4.________ Sometimes, you think you know yourself enough, but other people who see you from their point of view can offer you some insights (洞察力) as to how you act and get understood by others. Be careful, however, to balance all perceptions to come up with an objective view about yourself.5．________ It's a lifetime process. Every day you will be given new insights about yourself. Writing a journal will help you keep track of these new discoveries. Maintaining that hunger for knowing yourself better will make you more self-aware, which will open up new opportunities to enrich your life.A．Keep on learning who you are.B．By answering them, you will understand more about yourself.C．Reflect on these qualities and find out how they influence your life.D．You should have the confidence that you can do well in some fields.E．Pay attention to what your family, friends and teachers say about you.F．Spend time comparing yourself with others, and you'll know yourself better.G．Not everyone is courageous enough to really achieve a better self-understanding.Ⅲ.完形填空When Iqbal Masih was four years old, his desperately poor, uneducated parents sold him to a carpet maker for $200.

This will result in the survival of our species when our planet can no longer support human life.—Multinational space stations have helped diplomacy (外交) among multiple nations.Cons of space travel：—There is a very large percentage of the earth's oceans we have yet to explore. We should continue exploring the remaining unknown regions of our oceans before continuing to another planet.—The funding for space exploration comes from the tax payers' pockets. Many do not think that they should be forced into paying for something they oppose.—The total contribution from space travel is minimal, when considering the total cost.—We should not be thinking about colonizing a moon, or a planet. It's better to save our existing planet first. If we are to destroy one planet, what is to stop us from repeating the_mistakes on another planet.—Not only is the cost of manned space missions expensive, but space travel can have a serious effect on the human body over an extended period of time. The only way to solve it is by using robots, which reduces the human risk factor, and reduces the overall cost.Overall, most people approve of (赞成) our current exploration methods. In my opinion, these methods should be reviewed to help reduce the cost of launches. I believe the potential of finding resources on other planets will make the cost of several decades of space exploration worthwhile.1．Which of the following benefits of space travel is NOT mentioned?A．Creating more job opportunities.B．Reducing the overpopulation problem.C．Bringing about advanced technologies.D．Developing relationships among countries.2．The underlined part “the mistakes”here probably refers to ________．A．colonizing a moonB．doing damage to EarthC．spending money with little rewardD．having a wrong understanding about other planets3．What would be the best title for this passage?A．The future of space travelB．The benefits of space travelC．Why space travel is expensiveD．Whether space travel is worthwhile or not4．What's the author's attitude towards space travel?A．Negative.B．Doubtful.C．Positive. D．Not mentioned.BYears ago, the American writer Kurt Vonnegut often said there was one story that would always make a million dollars: Cinderella (《灰姑娘》)．Cinderella made more like $70 million in ticket sales when it opened last weekend. But the movie got a_mixed_reaction. David Rooney of The Holly w ood Reporter praised the movie and said, “Anyone will find something to enjoy in it.”Steven Rea of The Philadelphia Inquirer called the movie “a winning redo.”Richard Corliss of Time magazine wrote that “Disney finally got Cinderella right.”Other people were not as happy with the movie. Sara Stewart of the Ne w York Post wrote, “This Cinderella is all dre ssed up with nowhere very interesting to go.”Although different people think differently towards the movie, what is clear, however, is the movie's business success. It is not only popular in the theaters but also in sales. And Disney has widened its usual market for Cinderella products.There are products connected to the Disney movie targeted (面向) not only at little girls, but women, too.
