China's new“ Four Great Inventions” were recently announced, with hybrid rice(杂交水稻), Chinese character laser printing(汉字激光打印), synthetic bovine insulin (合成牛胰岛素)，and artemether compound tablets against malaria making the cut(防治疟疾的复方蒿甲醚片)．China's “New Four Great Inventions” were voted for by both the public and experts in line with the requirements that they be creative and original, have worldwide significance and have a big social impact.60 percent of the votes were cast online，while 40 percent were taken from experts.On top of the list is hybrid rice , which was first developed in 1973 by Chinese scientist Yuan Longping, who was called the “Father of Hybrid Rice”．The new breed has enabled China to solve its long standing food problem and contribute a great deal to the world food industry.Another major breakthrough, the techniques for Chinese character laser printing, was developed by late scientist Wang Xuan, known as “Bi Sheng, Father of Printing in Modern Times”．His techniques were first introduced to newspaper printing in December 1987, which brought abouta revolution in the printing and publishing industries.Wang Xuan's invention promoted the spread of Chinese culture and had a far-reaching impact on the printing industries of other countries，including South Korea and Japan.Synthetic bovine insulin was fully developed in 1965 following 6 years of hard work by a group of Chinese scientists.It marked a significant breakthrough in the field of life science and hasgreatly influenced human endeavors in finding out the secrets of life.Artemether compound tablets, which were first developed in the mid-1980s by Chinese scientists, have proved to be the most effective anti-malaria medicine worldwide.With their brand-new chemical structure first discovered by Chinese，they are often compared to “Atom Bombs”，a milestone in the history of man's fight against malaria.Notes1．significance/sɪg'nɪfɪkəns/n.重要性，意义2．breed/briːd/n.品种3．breakthrough/'breɪkθruː/n.重大进展，突破4．revolution/ˌrevə'luːʃn/n.革命5．endeavor/ɪn'devə(r)/n.努力6．structure/'strʌktʃə(r)/n.结构，构造7．milestone/'maɪlstəon/n.里程碑Period One Warming Up，Pre-reading & ReadingⅠ.单词检测1．patent n．专利证书；专利权2．distinguish v i.& v t.显示……的差别；使……有所不同；辨别3．merciful adj.宽大的；仁慈的；慈悲的mercy n．仁慈；宽恕4．product n．产品produce v．生产production n．生产；产品producer n．生产者；制造者5．abrupt adj.突然的；意外的abruptly ad v.突然地；唐突地6．convenient adj.便利的；方便的；就近的convenience n．方便；便利7．caution n．小心；谨慎cautious adj.小心的；谨慎的8．expectation n．预料；期待；期望expect v．预期；期盼9．passive adj.被动的；消极的；被动语态的active adj.(反义词)积极的10．merry adj.愉快的；高兴的merrily ad v.愉快地；高兴地11．seize v t.抓住；捉住；夺12．criterion n．(pl criteria)(评判的)标准；尺度13．valid adj.有效的，确凿的14．file n．文件；档案；文件夹；v t.提交；将……归档15．ripe adj.熟的；成熟的ripen v．熟；成熟Ⅱ.短语检测1．decide on 决定；选定2．call up 给……打电话3．now and then偶尔；有时4．far from 远离；远非5．get rid of 摆脱；去除6．set about 开始；着手Ⅰ.阅读课文，匹配各部分大意Part Ⅰ (Para.1)A A．The discovery of the problem of the snakes.Part Ⅱ (Paras.2～3)C B．The requirements of getting a patent.

单元检测卷(一)第Ⅰ卷第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AAmerican culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment，ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more，these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America.From 1607 to 1892，frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise，opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism，self-reliance，and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage of America.In history，people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed，a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism；almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays，we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle-aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.On average an American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.1．American culture is unique because of the following factors EXCEPT .A．hard environmentB．ethnic diversityC．plural religionD．advanced modernization答案 D解析细节理解题。

impossible：they created the first clone of an adult mammal(哺乳动物)．The clone，named Dolly，is a seven-month-old sheep，grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.What is a clone？A clone is a copy—a genetic copy.Genes are the instructions for life.They tell a cell what to do and how to do it.Genes make each individual plant or animal different and unique.But a clone has the same genes as the original organism(生物体)．Cloning is not new.Plants have been cloned for centuries.New plants are often grown from cutting from another plant.Also，plants like pineapples，strawberries and carnations (康乃馨) are sometimes cloned.One benefit of cloning is that we can make many copies of the best and healthiest plants.It has been much more difficult to clone animals.Frogs have been cloned，but they died as tadpoles，never living long enough to become adult frogs.Mice，sheep and cattle have been cloned from embryos(胚胎)．But Dolly is the first healthy clone of an adult mammal.How did they do it?(1)An unfertilized egg was taken from a sheep.(2)The egg nucleus(细胞核)was removed.(3)A cell was taken from the udder(乳房)of a pregnant(怀孕的)sheep.It was “starved”，so that it stopped growing.(4)The two cells were combined into one and then implanted in a third sheep，where it grew normally.(5)The clone was born.It was genetically identical to the pregnant sheep in step(3)．This sounds much easier than it actually was.To end up with one clone，the scientists started with 277 udder cells.And they needed in a way to make the egg cell accept a new nucleus.They did that by starving the cell in step(3)．It may soon be possible to clone many types of animals.Will we also be able to clone human organs，or even whole human beings？We have only begun to think about the morality of cloning technology.Maybe the question to ask is not whether we can clone humans，but instead，should we clone humans?1．Dolly is a sheep________because she is grown from a cell of an adult female sheep.A．that has not her fatherB．that has not her motherC．that has no parentsD．that has not any tail2．Tell which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Only plants can be cloned.B．Only strawberries and carnations can sometimes be cloned.C．Animals and plants have quite a long history of cloning.D．Genes can tell a cell what to do and how to do it during cloning.3．From the fourth paragraph we can know that________.A．a tadpole is the early stage of a grown-up frogB．a tadpole is a frog without a tailC．a tadpole is a kind of animalD．a tadpole is a clone of an adult mammal4．Which of the following statements about Dolly is TRUE according to the passage?A．Dolly is the first clone of an animal.B．Dolly is the first clone of an adult animal.C．Dolly is the first clone of an mammal.D．Dolly is the first clone of an adult mammal.Ⅴ.翻译句子1．这水不适合饮用。

be a modern invention，but as early as 1727，a German physicist discovered that light darkens silver ed as a camera，a big box was set up，and a small hole was cut in one side to let the light in；he made temporary pictures on the salt.Silver salt is still the base of the photographic film today.Then a French scientist made the first permanent picture by using a special piece of metal which was covered with silver salt.A photograph he made in 1862 still exists.The painter De Gear improved the process by covering the metal also with placing the common salt which we can eat.That was in 1839，the official date of beginning of photographs.But the problem was the printing of the photographs.And it wasn't until other scientists developed the kind of photographic paper we now use that good prints were possible and photography became truly modern.In the 1870's，Matthew Bradey was able to take his famous pictures in American Civil War.In the 20's of this century，Georges Mann of the United States simplified film developing，and Dr.Edward Lane invented the socalled “Instant Camera”，which uses self-developing film.If we say photography came into existence in 1839，it follows that it took more than 100 years for the camera to reach its present condition of technical refinement(密度)．1．What discovery was the basis of photography?A．Light darkens silver salt.B．Light darkens natural salt.C．Light darkens silver.D．Light darkens self-developing film.2．How was the first permanent picture made?A．By making use of special paper.B．By adding common salt to silver salt.C．By giving a slight colour to the silver salt.D．By using a special piece of metal.3．Which does the author regard as the official date of the beginning of photography?A．1727. B．1826.C．1839. D．1870.4．According to the author，why is Matthew Bradey remembered today?A．He was a soldier.B．He took war photographs.C．He painted portraits.D．He designed a portable camera.Ⅴ.翻译句子1．我从来没见到过这么漂亮的建筑。

Learning ability goals学能目标Help the students learn how to talk about inventions and discoveries.Teaching important & difficult points教学重难点How to talk about inventions and discoveries.Teaching methods教学方法Discussion.Teaching aids教具准备A computer and a projector.Teaching procedures & ways教学过程与方法Step I Warming upTalk about inventions and discoveries.T: The importance of inventions to social progress can never be changed. Ench inventi on carries the world a step forward and provides stimulation for later ones.Whit inventions turning up all the time, our world is always taking on a new look. But do you know what an invention is?S1: The creation of something newS2: A creation (a new device or process) resulting from study and experimentation.S3: The creation of new things.…Ask the students to talk about the pictures with the teacher’s help, and then discuss the first two questions.T: And what is a discovery?What’s the difference between a discovery and an invention?Now look at the pictures on page1. Work in pairs and talk about the three different things, telling them apart and giving reasons.Show the following.1. Which o these pictures show inventions? Does any of them show discoveries?2. Work out two rules that will help you decide what is a discovery and what is an invention?S1: I think the first two are inventions, i. e. the amphibious car and Stevenson’s“Rock et” while the last picture about the DNA is a kind of discovery. Because the first two p roducts were quite new to people at that time and no one had ever seen or designed su ch kind of vehicles before though some others had made similar cars or machines whi ch had less functions and advantages as these two. I think the picture about the DNA i s a kind of scientific discovery in biology because such cells and their structure do exi st in living creatures and they have been found out by a certain scientist and are made known to the public nowadays. So I think a discovery is something existing before but unknown while an invention is something unknown and not existing before.S2: I think the first two pictures show us great human inventions about the transportati on because they were invented by people for certain purposes and they had special advantages and could satisfy people’s needs in some ways. On the other hand the third p icture showing the formation of DNA is a kind of discovery because these special cell s exist and function in the body of life all the time no matter who discovers it or when and where it is discovered.In my opinion a discovery is something found out or brought to view now but it was u nknown before while an invention is something created or designed by people, which is completely new not only now but in the past.T: Well, from these pictures we can see that there lies differences between a discovery and an invention. There are certain rules or questions you should pay attention to whil e distinguishing them. Did it exist in the past? Is it created or developed by people? A n invention is something that is created by a human being, such as the lightning rod. T o the contrary, a discovery merely makes known something that already existed in nat ure, such as the discovery on the New Continent by Columbia. OK. Let’s go on with s ome other questions of this part.You may talk with your partner first before we have a check five minutes later. Show the following.What modern inventions do you know? Describe them to your partner and how useful they are in life today.S1: Adidas 1 is the thinking shoes with a built-in microprocessor that decides how soft or firm the wearer needs the support. It has been chosen by Popular Science magazin e as the best recreation invention of 2004. It is very comfortable to wear it all day with out worrying about your toes being hurt and you can adjust the height and stiffness ac cording to your demands whenever you want and wherever you go. Thus it is a very p ractical choice for both the young and the old when having exciting sports outdoors or resting at home during holidays.S2: Camera phones have opened up a new way to communicate. Because many of the m look like regular cell phones, you can snap pictures as discreetly as any spy and, wi th the push of a few buttons, pop them into an e-mail or upload them to the Web in les s than a minute. No wires or to the Web in less than a minute. No wires or computer h ookups necessary. To be sure, most camera phones end up taking pictures of friends family, babies and pets. But they have also been used to snap pictures of VIPs at private parties, copy recipes from cookbooks at bookstores and even document crimes in prog ress. But with an estimated 80 million camera phones sold in 2003, 6 million in the U. S. alone− the cat may already be out of the camera bag. Like it or not, these camera p hones have been very popular and widely used by people even today.S3: A kind of robot heart called AbioCor was invented in 2001. On July 2, 2001, the 5 9-year-old grandfather and retired librarian Robert Tools became the first human to ge t one. It’s been long since the operation, and Tools’ new heart is still beating.He can walk a city block without stopping and he’s even making plans for the future. Though not everybody needs a new heart, hundreds of thousands eventually may. Nor will an artificial heart rid the world of sickness or poverty or terror. But sometimes it r eally helps.T: Very good! I am glad to see that all of you have known so many modern inventions both at home and abroad and you have thought a lot about them. It’s certain that mode rn discoveries and inventions do have great effects in people’s life and can always rep resent the advanced science and technology, so you should to distinguish them and ma ke good use of them.Step II TalkingT: Suppose you are working for a mobile company. It is your job to suggest new ways of developing a mobile. In pairs discuss some new applications of a mobile. Make a li st of the ones you like and that seem the most useful. Choose one you both like and th ink will be popular with other people. Now work in groups of four to discuss the quest ion.S1: I suggest the new applications of mobile should be: portable entertainment players ,cameras, membership and loyalty cards, guidebooks, maps, tickets, watches, and devi ces for accessing everything from news to corporate databases. Among them, we like t he applications of devices for accessing everything from news to corporate databases. We both think they are useful and will soon be popular with others in the near future b ecause the ability will enable a whole class of workers to relyless on their memory an d more on their company’s and even world’s knowledge maintenance, sales construction, transportation, taxicab drivers, and many other workers spend a great deal of time from offices. Thus, when they need information, they must either have it in their head s or stop what they are doing and make a pone call.S2: I think the new mobiles can be developed better with 4G to listen to the radio, wat ch TV, play games, do shopping, chat on the QQ,, surf the internet, control the electric al equipment at home in the distance, give off harmless rays and be used ascomputers with special operating systems which can do business, have fun and work as intelligen t P4 computers. Among them, we like the new application of surfing the internet and d oing shopping and we both think they are useful and will soon be popular among you ngsters because it is very convenient for people to find various useful information wh enever and wherever possible. As there are different kinds of goods to choose from on line and it’s very funny and exciting to make choices and buy what we need at a reaso nable price without going out and bargain with sellers in the markets.…T: Very good. Now get together with another pair to discuss whether your suggestion i s a good one. Make a case for your idea. Let the other pair evaluate it. Then swap so t hat you evaluate their idea. Decide which idea you like better and prepare to explain it . Then present it to the class.S1: I think the first classmate’s expectation that the mobile phones can do so much, m aybe more than they can offer. The mobile phones usually have limited size and capac ity. So I think it will take time before the mobiles are designed to meet his needs.S2: I think it’s practical and meaningful for the second classmate to develop the mobil es in that way. Though it has been used in some ways but we can do better because ev ery day we have much information to look for and different types of things to do and t he smart mobile can make it more convenient for us to achieve our goals in life.…T: Now, I’d like you to discuss in groups and try to tell the other about your ideas and the others who act as the leaders of the company may ask some questions for him or h er to answer. Then I’d like some of you to report your group work.Five minutes later.(L=Leader of the company)S: I think the new mobiles can be developed better with 4G to watch TV and do shopp ing on the internet.L1: Well, have you thought about the cost of this kind of new mobile which has a larg e capacity and such functions.S: Yes. I’ll make a good survey of the international electronic markets in advance and try to reduce the cost as much as possible.L2: Are you sure of the security measures of using these mobiles, especially when the y are used to shop on the internet.S: Sure. I’ll keep the new mobiles designed so in order that they will give warning me ssages whenever there is misleading information or dishonesty in selling and buying t hings on the internet.L3: I think it would be difficult for the new mobile of limited size to be used to watch live broadcast and pick out all sorts of goods on the internet. Have you taken these int o consideration?S: Yes. Now, I come to realize that I have to design the mobiles with larger screens, w hich can make it more convenient and comfortable for the users. Thank you!T: Very good! I can see all of you have done a good job in the presentation. Next I wa nt you to evaluate the ideas using the following criteria. First, do you know about the words, Such as originality and quality argument?S: Yes, originality just means the quality of being new and interesting and quality argu ment just means different opinions about the quality of the product.T: Quite right! Now let’s look at the criteria and go on with the next step.Show the followingAfter each group has taken part, add up the scores and award the contract to the winne r!T: Next, I’d like to divide you into four teams and the leader of the company will writ e down the scores according to the criteria while helping everyone present the ideas. At last the winner will be awarded in class.Step III SPEAKING TASKT: Leonardo da Vinci was not only a painter, but a true inventor. Now look at the pictu re in 1 on page 68. I’d like you to work in pairs and discuss what this invention of Leo nardo da Vinci was. Several alternative explanations are provided, but only one is corr ect. Be prepared to give your ideas to the class with your reasons.S: I think it’s a kind of water slide because we can clearly see the long slide way conn ecting the water tower, equipment on the roof of the building and the base on the grou nd. If there is a lack of water down on the ground, the working machine will be used s o carry water from the tower above to the ground along the slide way. Just so, this spe cially fixed machine can also carry water up to store in the tower if the water on the gr ound is more than needed. This kind of invention is really useful especially in some dr y or mountainous areas.T: Good! You are very creative in thinking about the use of the machine in different ca ses and from this we can see Leonard da Vinci is really a great inventor. He contribute d to people’s everyday life besides painting wonderful pictures.Well, let’s go on with Activity 2.Please look at the pictures and read the instructions below, discuss in groups and finish the exercises.Sample answers:Step IV ProjectT: “Creativity is the soul of a nation and an inexhaustible source of a country’s prospe rity.” Chinese former President Jiang Zemin said in the speech delivered on Novembe r 24 to the scientific and technological community in the Science City of Novosibirsk. As a young generation, every one of us should be creative and inventive in order to co ntribute more to make our country richer and more beautiful. Now, please look at the project exercise on page 69. I’d like you first read the introductions and then discuss i n pairs about the pictures and solutions to the problems. Finally I’d like someone to pr esent your work.One possible solution:S: In this kind of situation, I will have to use the sticks and ropes to make a fishing ro d with the nails made in shape of hooks. I will cut the pumpkin or the nuts on the trees into halves so as to make a water container. And as for the shelter I’d use the piece of cloth combined with sticks, ropes and nails. I will have to need a magnifying glass fou nd on the island to focus the heat on the leaves and wood so that there will be much s moke rising from the fire caused by the strong light and heat from the sun. If I’m not lucky enough to be saved by someone, I would have to use the ropes cut by the knife t o link the pieces of wood together so as to make a raft as means of escape.T: Good! You all have good imaginations and you have known much about how to de sign and make effective inventions especially in emergency. I am very proud ofyou an d I’m sure you will do more research about the inventions after class until you make t hem perfect.Step V HomeworkAsk the students to do the following.1. Search for more information about mobiles on the Internet.2. Prepare for the listening part on page 26.。

America came when gold was discovered in California in 1848.The Chinese called the new land“Mountain of Gold”．Those who did not become miners found work in railroad construction，farming and light industries，doing low paid jobs.By the 1880s，American industrialization brought changing economic realities，resulting in an explosion of resentment (仇恨) toward the Chinese laborers.They were accused of taking jobs away from the white men.The government issued Exclusion Acts(《排外法案》)to stop the immigration of Chinese laborers into the United States.Many workers fled from the concentrated Chinese communities in the West and then went to the Mid west and the East.As in California，they formed small pockets of Chinese culture that were known as “Chinatowns”．New York's Chinatown was created by men such as the Chinese laborers.Sociologists call them “sojourners”—foreigners in the United States，keeping to their cultural traditions，living in the larger society in which they existed.The sojourners came to America for the promise of supporting his family in China，wherehe expected to return one day.Those who did stay lived separately from the society.So they remained in Chinatown，an enclosed community holding on to traditions among the tides of change.1．What does the underlined word “issued” mean?A．brought out B．meant toC．made a life D．mixed with2．Before the Exclusion Acts，most of the Chinese in the United States lived________.A．in the West B．in the EastC．in the Mid west D．in the Mid east3．According to the passage，Chinese immigrants________.A．lost their hopes of returning to their countryB．tried to find a place in the larger societyC．went on with their own traditions in spite of social changesD．were free to take whatever jobs they like4．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Chinatowns experienced great changes after gold was discovered in 1848.B．Exclusion Acts brought great sufferings to the Chinese laborers.C．Chinese laborers were cruelly exploited by the white people.D．Chinese immigration to America resulted in the forming of Chinatowns.Ⅴ.翻译句子1．我想这就是老板为什么更喜欢你的原因。

Ⅳ.阅读理解Up to now，some scientists have suggested that cloning existing people might be ethically acceptable in some cases.One possibility is generating replacement for a dying relative.All suchpossibilities，however，raise the concern that the clone would be treated as less than a complete individual，because he or she would likely suffer from limitations and expectations based on the family’s knowledge of the genetic “twin”．Those expectations might be false，because human personality is only partly determined by genes.The clone of an extrovert(性格外向的人) could have a quite different way of behavior.Clones of athletes，movie stars，or scientists might well choose different careers because of chance events in early life.Some people have also pointed out that couples in which one member is infertile(不生育) might choose to make a copy of one or the other partner.But society ought to be concerned that a couple might not treat naturally a child who is a copy of just one of them.Because other methods are available for the treatment of all known types of infertility，and the traditional choice seems more appropriate.None of the suggested uses of cloning for making copies of existing people is ethically acceptable to my way of thinking，because they are not in the interests of the resulting child.It should go without saying that I am strongly opposed to allowing cloned human embryos to develop so that they can be tissue donors.In spite of this，it seems clear that cloning from cultured(人工培育的) cells will offer important medical opportunities.Predictions about new technologies are often wrong；societal attitudes change；unexpected developments occur.Time will tell.But biomedical researchers looking into the potential of cloning now have plenty to do.16．Towards cloning an existing person，what concern does the author show?A．The clone created is unlikely to fulfill your expectations.B．The clone created is ethically unacceptable.C．The clone created will be mistreated.D．The clone created will have one defect or another.答案 C解析细节理解题。
