落堕市安心阳光实验学校Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don't expect it to show up in too many driveways. It's expected to cost $279,000. And it won't help if you're stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration's decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington DC.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she's not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“It's very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can—if you're an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,”said Brandie Smith. “That's part of their special abilities. They're more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates weren't the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves—a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. Forexample, Smith said the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I'm not surprised at all,”Smith said.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解ACan you believe that there used to be a consensus in society that opposed the writing of novels by authoresses? Clearly this restriction must have operated at a time when there was no equality of opportunity for women. Amazingly, it was a generally held view only 100 years ago in England. In a strange contradiction, this period produced a couple of most courageous and gifted authoresses. Here are three of them.Jane Austen(1775-1817)All of the six completed novels of Jane Austen dealt with the problems and limitations of women's choices. At her time, the only respectable “career” for a woman was to marry, so the dilemma of her heroines' was also to marry but for love. Besides the content, the appeal of her works also lies in her refreshingly light and ironic style. Charlotte Bronte(1816-1855)Charlotte Bronte's novels were revolutionary for the explicit way they described women struggling against their restricted roles in society. Her heroines are outspoken in expressing their feelings, while demonstrating honesty and conscience in their choices. Her novel, Jane Eyre, published under a man's name, was very successful when it came out. The book was a revelation after the more reserved feelings expressed in Jane Austen's novels.George Eliot(1819-1880)Her novels examined the morally ambiguous concessions people made in their lives in order to succeed. In one of her books, Silas Marner, the hero discovers a little girl rejected by her own father. Her father did so for fear of losing his second wife's love—a mistake for which the couple both suffer.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThis summer, I was part of something that I have carried with me every day since. An experience changed my life. The Kentucky YMCA has a program called Y-Corps, which are service trips of around 20 students. This summer, two trips were made across Kentucky, one down south and the other trip up north.I was on the Y-Corps Service to the North in Indianapolis, Indiana, and our trip began at the end of July. I had butterflies flying around me as my parents drove me to Louisville, where the Service to the North team would set off on a nine-day journey in a school bus. I knew some of the team members from previous Y-Conferences, but there were many that I had never met, and I had never participated in a service trip like this before. Though I was nervous, I was also ready to try something completely out of my comfort zone. Once we loaded the bus with our lightly packed suitcases and sleeping bags, we said our goodbyes to our parents and departed for an adventure that changed all of our lives.Wi th the Kentucky Y's motto: “Participate, don't anticipate”,we had no idea where we were headed. Road signs were our only clue of where we would be stopping. We did service work at a Middle Way House in Indiana, a Detroit Market Garden, a Pennsylvania YMCA for an invasive (侵略性的) species clean-up, the Upper Main Line Y in Pennsylvania to spend time with children at a summer camp, a Hurricane Sandy clean-up in Jersey Shore and the National Mall in Washington DC. We slept on floors of local YMCAs that would take us in for a night, and some nights we didn't have the opportunity to shower. We had late nights on the road driving from city to city, and early mornings to start the day journaling and reflecting on the day before.Though we were physically tired from the hard work, we still enjoyed the time to experience the culture of the areas we were in.篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者参加去美国北部城市印第安纳波利斯的义务服务旅行的情况,作者认为此次行程虽然辛苦却很有意义,令人难忘。

There are some considerations that you can make to reduce the cost of your Disney World vacation.1.Come PreparedPlan ahead so that you don't have to purchase a necessity at Disneyland that you could have brought from home. For example, check the weather so that you don't need to buy a raincoat or an umbrella.2.Buy Souvenirs in AdvanceDisney has influenced practically every industry, which makes it easy to find Disney items anywhere, from Walmart, Target, and your local grocery stores to department stores and Amazon. You can save a lot of money by purchasing items before your trip at these less expensive places than at Disneyland.3.Make an Autograph BookAn autograph book is seen as a must-have by many Disneyland enthusiasts and is a memory you can take home with you. These books can cost anywhere from 7.95 to 19.95 at the Disney Store and up to $30 for the latest-and-greatest autograph book at Disneyland, such as the park's 60th anniversary editions. Other choices can get the job done for under $5. For example, you can buy a small photo album, cute pads or notebooks.4.Take Advantage of Discounts Offered to Special GroupsDisney offers a wide variety of discounts, including military service members, college students, teachers, and youth groups. If you think you might qualify for a special discount or group rate, call the Disneyland Resort to book tickets.篇章导读:本文是一篇应用文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·浙江高考)FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly, but in order to stay she's had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant (移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration (融合). Others say it's only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy's then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants' children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence (居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest inEurope. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always “see me as a foreigner,”an outsider, even though she's stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.篇章导读:本文是一篇新闻报道。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AJust in time for National Popcorn Day, a new study shows that people in what's now Peru were eating the snack about 2,000 years earlier than we thought.Coastal peoples were preparing corn-based foods up to 6,700 years ago, according to analysis of remains of the ancient corn recently discovered at the Paredones and Huaca Prieta archaeological sites on Peru's northern coast.Previously, evidence of corn as a food about 5,000 years ago had mostly come from what are called microfossils—microscopic remains that do not offer information on the size and shape of the corncobs (玉米棒). But the newly found corn remains revealed a lot, via radiocarbon dating and other tests.The people who lived in Paredones and Huaca Prieta probably cooked corn in several ways: Wrapping a corncob and resting it on coals, roasting a corncob directly over a flame, or cooking a corncob in an earthen oven. In this culture, corn was a delicious food or a minor supplement to the diet-archaeological evidence shows they did not eat it in large amounts.Corn was first grown in Mexico about 9,000 years ago from a wild grass called teosinte, according to Piperno, whose research has been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A few thousand years later, corn was brought to South America, where farmers bred the plant crop into hundreds of varieties.Indeed, what surprised Piperno most about the new research was the diversity of corn—from corncob shapes to kernel (玉米粒) colors discovered in the new-found remains. “Farmers like to experiment and grow cool things,” she said.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

You do have to be intelligent, but the big thing is courage. Courage to open your mind and let the whole confusing world in. Courage to take criticism. Courage to grow with your experiences. Courage to accept what you don't understand. Most of all, courage to see what is there and not what you want to think is there.”

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AA culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, PhD of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self-image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”,describing their hi t song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文.本文作者通过论证认为,一种文化的价值观可以通过其幽默反映出来,并决定用幽默的态度来面对生活.1.Hobbes believed that humor ________ .A.was only a way to laugh at others to make oneself feel betterB.resulted in narrow-mindedness of human beingsC.had the power to mirror personal glory and national valuesD.was for people to view the world from another angle答案:A细节理解题.根据文章第一段可知,Thomas Hobbes不喜欢幽默,并从他的话“Laughter is nothing else but ... thought of feeling far better than others.”可知,他认为幽默仅仅是嘲笑别人并让自己感觉更好的一种方法而已.应选A.2.What is the author's attitude towards political humor?A.Worried. B.Disappointed.C.Curious. D.Appreciative.答案:D观点态度题.根据文章第三段中的“Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming?”及“They make politics fun.”可知,作者对于政治幽默持赞赏的态度.appreciative “欣赏的,赏识的”.3.The fourth paragraph is developed mainly ________ .A.by example B.by processC.by comparison D.by classification答案:A细节理解题.根据第四段中的第四句及下文中的解释可知,作者是通过举例子来支撑自己的观点的.故选A.4.What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A.Chaplin wasn't aware of being laughed at.B.The author feels helpless and sad about getting older.C.Never be the one who laughs at other people.D.The author is determined to face life with a sense of humor.答案:D推理判断题.根据倒数第二段中的“to know that there is a comedy out there”和最后一段中的“remember to laugh with humanity”可知,作者积极肯定幽默的价值,决定以幽默的态度来面对生活.故选D.BWhether you're eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone's home, proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression. According to a US expert, Emily Post, “All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness.”While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflicts, he points out that mostly their purpose is protective—they turn our natural warrior-like selves into more elegant ones.So where did table manners come from?In medieval England, a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full. And King David Ⅰ of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (扣除).Disappointingly, that idea never caught_on. It was during the Renaissance, when there were real technical developments, that opinions of correct behavior changed for good. “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,”wrote Hitchings. “Gradually, as forks became popular, they brought the new way of eating, making it possible, for instance, to consume berries without making one's fingers dirty.”Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later, the firsttable fork reached America. Yet while most of the essentials are the same on both sides of the Atlantic, there are a few clear differences between what's normal in the US and what holds true in the UK. For example, in the US, when food needs cutting with a knife, people generally cut a bite, then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand. Then they pick up one bite at a time. By contrast, Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don't lay the knife down.Though globalization has developed a new and simple international standard of table manners, some people still stick with the American cut-and-switch method. The Los Angeles Times noted, “They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency.”篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文.全文介绍了餐桌礼仪在西方国家的发展与形成过程.5.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The importance of proper table manners.B.The development of table manners in Western countries.C.Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK.D.Differences between American and British table manners.答案:B主旨大意题.从中世纪英国(In medieval England)谈到文艺复兴时期(during the Renaissance),再到1608年以及25年后(in 1608 and 25 years later),作者讲述了餐桌礼仪在西方国家的发展与形成过程.故选B.6.The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means “________”.A.worked in practice B.became popularC.drew attention D.had a positive effect答案:B词义猜测题.上一段最后一句谈到了利用减税的政策来鼓励人们注意餐桌礼仪,再结合画线词所在句子中的“Disappointingly”一词可知,这一政策并没有产生理想的效果,也就是说这一政策并没有流行起来.故选B.7.Which of the following events influenced people's table mannersmost according to the passage?A.The introduction of the table fork.B.The tax deduction policy.C.The rise of the Renaissance.D.Petrus Alfonsi's efforts in promoting table manners.答案:A细节理解题.根据第五段中的“None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork ... they brought the new way of eating, ...”可知,对人们餐桌礼仪影响最大的就是餐叉的引进及使用.故选A.8.What can we conclude from the passage?A.British and American table manners are completely different from each other.B.American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do.C.With globalization, the American cut-and-switch method has been abandoned in the US.D.British people's way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people's.答案:D推理判断题.结合最后一段第一句,尤其是本段中洛杉矶时报中的评论“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency.”可推断出,在餐桌礼仪标准国际化的背景下,很多美国人仍保留左右手交换刀叉的传统餐桌礼仪,宁可牺牲效率,也要注重优雅的礼仪,再结合倒数第二段对英美两国餐桌礼仪的比较可知,英国人使用餐叉的方式更有效率.故选D.Ⅱ.七选五Different culturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.__1__The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.__2__When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.__3__Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.__4__Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·全国卷Ⅰ)Some of the world's most famous musicians recently gathered in Paris and New Orleans to celebrate the first annual International Jazz Day. UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) recently set April 30 as a day to raise awareness of jazz music, its significance,and its potential as a unifying (联合) voice across cultures.Despite the celebrations, though, in the US the jazz audience continues to shrink and grow older, and the music has failed to connect with younger generations.It's Jason Moran's job to help change that . As the Kennedy Center's artistic adviser for jazz, Moran hopes to widen the audience for jazz, make the music more accessible, and preserve its history and culture.“Jazz seems like it's not really a part of the American appetite,”Moran tells National Public Radio's reporter Neal Conan. “What I'm hoping to accomplish is that my generation and younger start to reconsider and understand that jazz is not black and white anymore. It's a ctually color, and it's actually digital.”Moran says one of the problems with jazz today is that the entertainment aspect of the music has been lost. “The music can't be presented today the way it was in 1908 or 1958. It has to continue to move, because the way the world works is not the same,”says Moran.Last year, Moran worked on a project that arranged Fats Waller's music for a dance party, “just to kind of put it back in the mind that Waller is dance music as much as it is concert music,”says Moran. “For me, it's the recontextualization. In music, where does the emotion (情感) lie? Are we, as humans, gaining any insight (感悟) on how to talk about ourselves and how something as abstract as a Charlie Parker record gets us into a dialogue about our emotions and our thoughts?Sometimeswe lose sight that the music has a wider context,”says Moran, “so I want to continue those dialogues. Those are the things I want to foster.”篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe British live on a small island. They are surrounded by the sea, so it is not surprising that the sea has always played an important role in their lives. After the development of large, ocean-going sailing ships in the fifteenth century,the sea became even more important to the country's development. Ships setting sail from England determined to extend Britain's territories, its wealth and its knowledge of the world. Ships returned to England bringing goods, people and new ideas from foreign places. By the nineteenth century, Britain had the largest, most powerful navy in the world.The great sailing ships were so much a part of British life that they even affected the language. Many English expressions we use today were originally nautical (航海的)terms,although most people no longer realize this. For example, people commonly describe an honest and fair business deal as being “above board”.This expression was originally used in sailing ship times when secretive, dishonest ship's business would be carried out below decks ( i. e. below the boards) out of public view. On the other hand, honest business was always conducted on deck (above the boards), in the open where everyone could see what was going on.“Pipe down!”,meaning “Be quiet!”,is another common expression that has nautical origins. The ship's boatswain (水手长)would blow a whistle,or pipe, at the end of the day to indicate (表明)to the sailors it was time to quieten down and go to sleep.Most native English speakers have heard the express ion “not enough room to swing a cat”,but few know that the “cat” does not refer to a small furry animal with four legs and a tail.The “cat”is actually a short form of “cat of nine tails”—a whip with nine, knotted(打结的) tails.A boatswain needed a lot of space in order to swing the whip properly when lashing (鞭打)a poor sailorunder hiscontrol!篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AA culture's values can be mirrored by its humor. Humor has been evaluated by many great minds such as Thomas Hobbes, who disliked humor, “Laughter is nothing else but sudden glory arising from some sudden thought of feeling far better than others.” He thought humor to be a negative quality of human narrowmindedness.However, Mordechai Gordon, PhD of Education, insists, “Humor allows us to view the world from an angle that is amusing rather than serious.” I agree with Gordon. Learning to look at the world through humor is important.In the United States, every four years an election occurs. Without humor as a way to express their feelings, how else would Americans keep from clawing their eyes out and going the way of lemming? Television shows like “The Daily Show” have become important parts of American culture. They are mothering the masses by metaphorically (隐喻地) airplane-ing politics into our mouths. They make politics fun.Of course, politics is only one type of humor. Social humor helps people through the twists and turns of the human condition. American pop culture promotes an unhealthy self-image. On the topic of self-image, Hari Kondabolu stands out. He has a joke about the popular musical group “The Pussycat Dolls”,describing their hi t song “Don't Cha” as a negative representation of women. He points out an obvious offence in American culture.A study from Loyola University of Maryland has shown that humor is one determining factor for selecting a mating partner. Amongst other things, mates look for an outstanding funny bone in a potential partner.Of course, humor is not always used for good purposes. Humor can be linked to vulgarity (庸俗) and racism, but, like everything else, it has potential to unite human beings by allowing us to laugh at ourselves, our failures and our connection with one another.Though life may seem tough and depressing at times, all I have to do is look in the mirror at my increased wrinkles (皱纹) to know that there is a comedy out there that even Chaplin wasn't aware of.With that in mind, remember to laugh with humanity and sometimes at humanity.篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。

BWhether you're eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone's home, proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression. According to a US expert, Emily Post, “All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness.”While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflicts, he points out that mostly their purpose is protective—they turn our natural warrior-like selves into more elegant ones.So where did table manners come from?In medieval England, a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full. And King David Ⅰ of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (扣除).Disappointingly, that idea never caught_on. It was during the Renaissance, when there were real technical developments, that opinions of correct behavior changed for good. “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,”wrote Hitchings. “Gradually, as forks became popular, they brought the new way of e ating, making it possible, for instance, to consume berries without making one's fingers dirty.”Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later, the firsttable fork reached America. Yet while most of the essentials are the same on both sides of the Atlantic, there are a few clear differences between what's normal in the US and what holds true in the UK. For example, in the US, when food needs cutting with a knife, people generally cut a bite, then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand. Then they pick up one bite at a time. By contrast, Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don't lay the knife down.Though globalization has developed a new and simple international standard of table manners, some people still stick with the American cut-and-switch method. The Los Angeles Times noted, “They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency.”篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。
