B.Disturb.C.Improve. D.Recover.3.What might Paragraph 4 be used for?A.One possible explanation on disrupting body clock.B.One possible explanation on disrupting mood.C.One possible explanation on disrupting physical strength.D.One possible explanation on artificial light.4.What's Prof.Derk­Jan Dijk's attitude towards the dark room?A.Unclear.

One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looks worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “Thank you” and she died.I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for”, he said at the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and Igive him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.31. What can be learned from the second paragraph?A.The woman should have paid more attention to herself.B. The man couldn't blame anyone.C. The author is religious.D. The man died in the street.32.The purpose of this passage is ________.A.to appeal for more donation for the poorB. to call on the public to love each otherC. to tell the readers the poor are wonderfulD.to express how moved the author is to receive the prize33.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A.The author has few supporters.B. The author was somewhat surprised at what the man said.C. The author is delighted to help others in trouble.D. The author may agree to solve social problems in soft ways.34. What's the best title of this passage?A.Have Sympathy for the PoorB. The Poor are WonderfulC. Smile and LoveD. Relieve PovertyBInformation has always been at the center of human communication.Yon may ask why.Well,communication between people contains giving and receiving information.The way we give and receive information today has experienced a revolution in the development of the mass media in the 20th century.The first truly mass communication medium was the newspaper.For the first time in history people could read about events in their country and from around the world every day. However there were two problems with newspapers of that time.Firstly,newspapers were available only in large cities,for getting newspapers to the countryside was a difficult and time­consuming(耗时的)task.Secondly, newspapers weren't always reliable, as there was a limited range of opinions.Nowadays,we can choose from a wide variety of sources to get information.Television and the Internet have given us the chance to be informed about everything the minute it rge numbers of radio and TV stations,satellite channels and millions of websites help people keep up with the latest news.People live in history and are part of it.The media have come a long way in the last century and there is no doubt that we now live in the information age. Whatever type of media we choose,it all comes down to the need for information.This will always be a basic need as long as communication is part of human nature.35.Information is considered the center of human communication because________.A.human communication means information exchangeB.human communication involves people's participationC.information is now experiencing a revolutionD.information helps people gather together36.What was the historical contribution of the newspaper as a source of information?A.It made the mass communication truly develop.B.It helped the mass communication develop in cities.C.It kept people timely informed about home and world events.D.It kept reliable information available in big cities.37.The third paragraph mainly tells us that technology helps________.A.information easily availableB.people be part of historyC.inform everything timelyD.produce the latest news38.It can be concluded from the last paragraph that a basic need today is________.A.communication B.informationC.high technology D.media typesⅣ.短文改错They are some good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow natural,and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allow students to be responsible (负责) for his own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students don’t do good enough in a traditional (传统的) classroom.

I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel,loved and cared for”, he said at the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can createa home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and I give him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.31. What can be learned from the second paragraph?A.The woman should have paid more attention to herself.B. The man couldn't blame anyone.C. The author is religious.D. The man died in the street.32.The purpose of this passage is ________.A.to appeal for more donation for the poorB. to call on the public to love each otherC. to tell the readers the poor are wonderfulD.to express how moved the author is to receive the prize33.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?A.The author has few supporters.B. The author was somewhat surprised at what the man said.C. The author is delighted to help others in trouble.D. The author may agree to solve social problems in soft ways.34. What's the best title of this passage?A.Have Sympathy for the PoorB. The Poor are WonderfulC. Smile and LoveD. Relieve PovertyⅣ.任务型读写请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

课时作业21 Unit 21 Human Biology课时练(一) 阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时:35分钟)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)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

A[2020·湖北省高考模拟]With its snow­covered mountains and a variety of wildlife, Yellowstone National Park is one of the scenic treasures of the United States. Located primarily in Wyoming, the park hosts millions of visitors every year. If you plan to travel within the park, keep in mind the advice from the National Park Service.Seasonal TravelTravel varies vastly from season to season. Roads are generally open in the summer except for cases of rock or mud slides, wild fires, accidents or road construction. Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily. In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles, but snowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed. Roads begin to open in the spring by the latter part of April but may close if snowfall continues.Driving TimeGrand Loop Road is the main road through Yellowstone National Park, and it passes by most of the major attractions. These include Old Faithful, Yellowstone Lake and the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The maximum speed limit on the Grand Loop is 45 miles per hour, but the speed limit drops during some of the winding and twisty sections of this narrow road. Allow yourself at least two days to fully travel the loop due to the size of the park and occasionally heavy traffic.Safety AwarenessBuffalo often block the roads in the park as they migrate through the fields. If a herd is traveling across the road you are on, you can either wait for them to pass or find an alternative route. If you get out of your vehicle, you should stay at least 25 yards from any buffalo (and 100 yards or more away from bears and wolves). Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speeds up to 30 mph.You can take your bicycle on any public roads and routes designed for bikes, but bicycles are not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders. Elevations range from 5,300 to 8,860 feet. The National Park Service recommends that cyclists wear helmets and noticeable clothing.1.What is TRUE about traveling in the Yellowstone Park?A.Roads will stay open in spite of emergency.B.Traffic jam is actually a rare thing.C.The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.D.Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.2.What safety advice does the National Park Service offer?A.Under no circumstances could you get out of the car.B.Keep going forward when coming across the buffalo.C.Do wear easy­to­see clothes while bicycling.D.Bicycling is forbidden on the public roads.3.Where can you probably find this article?A.In a guidebook.B.In a geography textbook.C.In a research paper.D.In a commercial advertisement.B[2020·昆明市教学质量检测]Five­year­old Prisilla Perez, a student at Meador Elementary School in Willis, was unhappy with her recent haircut, which resulted from a severe disease. When students in her class started calling Prisilla a boy, she felt ashamed, often crying and losing focus in school.Her teacher, Shannon Grimm, sympathized with her unhappiness. Grimm and Prisilla's mom were conce rned, but their ideas didn't work.“We had classroom discussions about how girls have short hair and boys have long hair, and I showed them photos of movie stars with different looks,” Grimm said. “However, it wasn't sinking in.”Grimm thought about Prisilla throughout the winter break, and one morning, she had an idea: Cut off her hair — a scary thought for Grimm, who wore her hair long and took pride in it.“I've never had short hair, and I stressed about it for two weeks before making a decision,” she said. On Jan. 4, Grimm invited a hairstylist friend to her home. “I told him to keep going, even if I cried,” she said.The class loved their teacher's new do, especially Prisilla, who excitedly ran off the school bus that afternoon yelling,“Mom, Ms. Grimm cut her hair!” The teacher also bought matching bows for herself and the girl, so they could style their hair together.In February, the teacher recommended Prisilla for the school district's Student of the Month Award, but during the Monday ceremony, she received a surprise“hero medal” from the girl. “Now we have matching awards,” says Grimm.Prisilla's mother, Maria, said that Grimm's thoughtfulness brought her to tears.“I was shocked. I was crying. I couldn't believe it — she did something I wouldn't have the bravery to do. I will never forget that.”4.Why was Prisilla unhappy at school?A.She wasn't satisfied with her teacher.B.She couldn't concentrate in class.C.She was laughed at by her classmates.D.She couldn't get on well with others.5.What made Grimm have her own hair cut?A.Praise from her students.B.Devotion to her students.C.Request of Prisilla's mother.D.Suggestion from the hairstylist.6.What can we know about Grimm?A.She had her hair cut together with Prisilla.B.She expressed her sincere thanks to her pupils.C.She hesitated a lot before having her hair cut.D.She won a gold medal for facing difficulties bravely.7.What is the text mainly about?A.How Grimm helped her student out.B.What problem Prisilla had at school.C.Why Prisilla won the Month Award.D.When Grimm got her new hairstyle.C[2020·武汉调研]While elephants born without tusks (长牙) are not unheard of, they normally form just 2 to 6 percent of the population. However, that is not the case at Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, where an astonishing 33 percent offemale elephants born after the country's conflict ended in 1992 are tuskless. While that may appear to be just a coincidence, Joyce Poole, an elephant behavior expert, has another theory. The researcher thinks we may be witnessing unnatural evolution of the species due to the constant hunting of elephants for valuable ivory.Poole says before the country's 15­year­long conflict, the park was home to over 4,000 elephants. However, by the time the conflict ended in 1992, about 90 percent of them had been killed for ivory to get money. Of the less than 200 survivors, over 50 percent of adult females had no tusks. Therefore, it is not surprising that the park's tuskless elephant population has grown greatly.This is not the first time researchers have observed a great change in the population of elephants. At Zambia's South Luangwa National Park and Lupande Game Management Area, areas which were heavily hunted in the 1970s and 1980s, 35% of elephants 25 years old or older and 13%of those younger than 25 are now without tusks.A 2008 study published in the African Journal of Ecology found that the number of tuskless females at the Ruaha National Park in Tanzania went from 10.5 percent in 1969 to almost 40 percent in 1989, largely due to illegal hunting for ivory.The recent ban on ivory in both the US and China should help get rid of, or at least reduce, elephant hunting. However, scientists are not sure how long it will take for elephants with a higher rate of tuskless females, to change the_trend.8.What is the probable cause of the phenomenon mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.Illegal hunting. B.Constant farming.C.A pure coincidence. D.Natural evolution.9.Why did people kill so many elephants during the conflict in Mozambique?A.To get money by selling ivory.B.To develop new decorations.C.To provide food for local people.D.To make ivory products.10.Which of the following had the earliest record on tuskless elephants?A.Gorongosa National Park.B.South Luangwa National Park.C.Ruaha National Park.D.Lupande Game Management Area.11.What does the underlined phrase “the trend” in the last paragraph refer to?A.Elephants facing greater danger.B.Elephants growing more slowly.C.Fewer female elephants staying alive.D.More female elephants being tuskless.D[2019·东北三省四市二模]You can't see your sleeping pet's brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when your cat might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you'll see that as she falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular with her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, called slow­wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you'll notice a change in her breathing. Her eyes move under her closed lids, her paws twitch (抽动) and she flicks (轻拂) an ear. She has entered dreaming. Although she twitches and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs are blocked, so she can't run about. She is in a state of “sleep paralysis (麻痹)”.Michel Jouvet, a French scientist, interrupted their sleep paralysis. Even though they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to run for balls that Jouvet couldn't see and arched their backs at unseen enemies. He figured he was watching them act out their dreams! Obviously, the dreaming cats seemed to be practising important cat skills: following, pouncing, and fighting.In another study, Matt Wilson recorded rats' brain waves while they learned mazes. One day, he left the brain­wave­recording machin e on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could figure out exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and figure out recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills that were probably important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.Do all animals dream? From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, how often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when lying down.12.What does Michel Jouvet find in his study?A.The dreaming cats are in a state of body paralysis.B.The dreaming cats often practise their important skills.C.The eyes of dreaming cats moved while bodies are still.D.The legs of the dreaming cats can't move.13.What can you know about dreaming from the passage?A.Dreaming a lot can help humans learn more.B.Learning mazes is the basic skill for cats to learn.C.Rats often dream to work out their recent learning.D.Fighting and escaping are not important skills for ancestors.14.Which animal may dream most frequently?A.Rats. B.Dogs.C.Cows. D.Elephants.15.How does the author develop his passage?A.By making comparisons. B.By using figures.C.By telling stories. D.By showing facts.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition-and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looks worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “Thank you” and she died.I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold,I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more-she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an ang el, loved and cared for”,he said at the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel-this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and I give him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, I have satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable… And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.31. What can be learned from the second paragraph?A.The woman should have paid more attention to herself.B. The man couldn't blame anyone.C. The author is religious.D.

A(2021·河北省高三六校联考) Nine PintsAuthor:Rose GeorgePrice:$55(20 per cent discount for 3 or more)If you're like me,you'll enjoy this deep dive into what makes up our blood by a British journalist with an especially personal connection and special job experiences to the subject.It's filled with super­interesting facts that will leave you with a new appreciation of blood in the body.A Gentleman in MoscowAuthor:Amor TowlesPrice:$50(10 per cent discount for 2 or more)It seems everyone I know has read this book.Towles's novel about a nobleman sentenced to life under house arrest is fun,clever,and surprisingly optimistic.Even if you don't enjoy reading about Russia as much as I do,A Gentleman in Moscow is an amazing story that anyone can enjoy.Presidents of WarAuthor:Michael BeschlossPrice:$60(10 per cent discount for 2,and 25 per cent for 3 or more)My interest in all aspects of the Vietnam War is the main reason I decided to pick up this book.By the time I finished it,I learned a lot not only about Vietnam but about the eight other major conflicts the U.S.entered between the turn of the 19th century and the 1970s.The Future of Capitalism(资本主义)Author:Paul CollierPrice:$75(10 per cent discount for 2,and 25 per cent for 3 or more)Collier's newest book is a thou ght­provoking(发人深省的)look at a hot topic.Although I don't agree with him about everything—I think his analysis is better than his recommended solutions—his background as a development economist and a former director at the World Bank gives him a smart viewpoint on where capitalism is headed,which is detailed in the book.语篇解读:作者在文中介绍了四本书,给出了书的价格和内容简介等。

课时练(二) 阅读理解提速练(练速度)(限时:35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2016·南昌市高三一模)Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my iPhone — it's my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there is time when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom.I have a rule — no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am a nti­technology. There's no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage in complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course, the material and the class discussion.I've been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the education reflects students' satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversations and challenges, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology­free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。

In today's newspaper, an accident was reported.______________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 答案:范文赏读In_today's_newspaper,_an_accident_was_reported. Someone was badly hurt by a bottle thrown out of a window of a building. Actually, if we look around, we will find that things of this kind are not uncommon.Cigarette ends, cans, plastic bags and bottles can be seen here and there.Needless to say, such behavior will ruin our environment and become a bad habit if we do nothing. In my opinion, every one of us should first of all make sure that we don't throw rubbish around ourselves.What is more, we should persuade others not to do so.And finally, rules should be made to stop such behavior.Only in this way can we create a better environment and live more happily.大题巧练21Unit 21Human Biology[授课提示:对应学生用书第305页]A卷一、阅读理解A(2016·浙江卷)Two things changed my life: my mother and a white plastic bike basket. I have thought long and hard about it and it's true. I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today.My mother and father were united in their way of raising children, but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out. Looking back, I honestly don't know how she did it. Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task, but she made it look effortless. If we complained about not having what another kid did, we'd hear something like, “I don't care what so­and­so got f or his birthday, you are not getting a TV in your room/a car for your birthday/a lavish sweet­16 party.” We had to earn our allowance(零用钱) by doing chores around the house. I can still remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table. My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house. Like the two little girls growing up at the White House, we made our own beds(no one left the house until that wasdone) and picked up after ourselves. We had to keep track of our belongings, and if something was lost, it was not replaced.It was summer and, one day, my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed—and there it was in the window. White, shiny, plastic and decorated with flowers, the basket winked at me and I knew—I knew—I had to have it.“It's beautiful,” my mother said when I pointed it out to her. “What a neat basket.”I tried to hold off at first. I played it cool for a short while. But then I guess I couldn't stand it any longer: “Mom, please can I please, please get it? I'll do extra chores for as long as you say. I'll do anything, but I need that basket.I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”I was desperate.“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever,“If you save up you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it'll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“He can't hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”“There might be another way,” she said.And so our paying plan unfolded. My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing savings increased by extra work here and there(washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering or collecting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front). And then, weeks later, I counted, re­counted and jumped for joy. Oh, happy day! I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon....Days later the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike that already had all the bells and whistles. I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster. This horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life:“Honey, your basket is extra­special,” Mom said, gently wiping away my hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”语篇解读这是一篇记叙文。
