Unit 5 Travelling abroad Learning about language课时作业阅读理解
A
One of the major functions of an iPhone is, of course, to play music. The iTunes app has been designed in such a way as to take advantage of the iPhone's touch screen. But what if you want to listen to music that isn't in your iTunes library, or you want to discover new music without sitting in front of computer?
There are plenty of ways to access music, but not everyone knows what options are available. Either that, or there are so many options that going through all of them is tiring. For these reasons, here we offer a few convenient ways of listening to music on your iPhone without using iTunes.
♦ Stream some radio (Tuneln Radio)
Tuneln Radio provides a quick and easy way to listen thousands of Internet radio stations on your Apple products. In addition to local radio stations, this app compiles more than 40 , 000 radio stations from around the country. What makes the app special is that it allows you to pause and re wind(倒回) live radio—pause your station to take a phone call or rewind to replay a favorite song. You can also browse by genre of location, and the app includes plenty of talks, news, sports and weather stations in addition to music.
♦ From desktop to smartphone (QQ Music)
QQ Music seems like obvious choice, and it is. It’s a streaming service based on the Tencent technology that is already wildly popular on the Internet and now also offers a free app. Through this app you can listen to existing playlists or create new ones based on the patterns of music you like. It works amazingly well and everything can be saved to your QQ account for access from a computer.
♦ What was that song? (Shazam)
Sh azam is an innovative and free app that cures your “What was that song?” problem. It happens to all of us: we hear a song (on TV or in a store ),love it,know we have heard it before but just can't remember what it is called. With Shazam you don't need to. Just hold your iPhone up and through its microphone, Shazam will identify the album, artist and song title for you. You can then either purchase the song in iTunes or search it on other apps for streaming. How cool is that?
1.All of the options are strongly recommended to the users of ___________.
A.iTunes
B.iPhones
puters
D.microphones
2.If you are to enjoy the freedom to go backward or make a phone call without missing anything you are listening, you can turn to _______.
A.Tuneln Radio
B.iTunes
C.Shazam
D.QQ Music
3.What is possibly the best title for the passage?
A.Beyond the Music
B.Streaming Service of Music
C.Get Easier Accesses to Music
D.Get Familiar to Each Song

2. 细节理解题。

根据Stream some radio (Tuneln Radio)部分的第三句“What makes the app special is that it allows you to pause and rewind live radio—pause your station to take a phone call or rewind to replay a favorite song. ”可知,A项正确。

As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).
In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations-- UNESCO and National Geographic among them –have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.
Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Center, Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and
Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working and raising a family in a village in Nepal.
Documenting the Tangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayans reaches of India, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.
At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-- including photographs, films, tap recordings, and field notes---- which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.
Now, through the two organizations that he has founded---the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project---Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, found in libraries and stores around the world, available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet. Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.
4.Many scholars are making efforts to .
A.rescue the disappearing languages
B.promote global languages
C.search for language communities
D.set up language research organizations.
5.What does “that tradition” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Having full records of the languages.
B.Writing books on language teaching.
C.Telling stories about language users.
D.Living with the native speakers.
6.What is Turin’s book based on?
A.The cultural studies in India.
B.The documents available at Yale.
C.His language research in Bhutan.
D.His personal experience in Nepal.
7.Which of the following best describes Turin’s work?
A.Write,sell and donate.
B.Record,repair and reward.
C.Collect,protect and reconnect.
D.Design,experiment and report.

Anyone with a passing interest in their health will be able to rattle-off a few of the major vitamins, and possibly take an educated guess at what they do. Vitamin C, found in oranges and other fruit and vegetables, is important for wound repair. And the much-talked-about ‘sunshine’ Vitamin D, produced by the skin in response to UV light, is essential for strong bones.
But Vitamin P? It might well have you scratching your head. And that's not surprising: the term was first coined in the 1930s to describe a small group of compounds that provide pigment(天然
色素) to plants, and were believed to have health benefits. Fast-forward almost a century and these compounds are now better known as flavonoids.
Today, scientists have identified between 4,000 and 6,000 different kinds and we now know they are responsible for many of the flavors and smells of fruit and vegetables and also that they protect them from invaders such as pests and bacteria.
They are equally important nutrients for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth, and for the production of the protein collagen(胶原), which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin.
They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness, including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的). That means they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.
8.Which of the following best explains “rattle off” underlined in Paragraph 1?
A.Quickly say.
B.Quickly pass.
C.Quickly find.
D.Quickly take.
9.What do we know about Vitamin P?
A.We would scratch our head if we took it.
B.It was made into a coin in the 1930s.
C.People didn't think it beneficial in the past.
D.It refers to the compounds also called flavonoids.
10.How many functions of Vitamin P for humans are mentioned?
A.Four.
B.Three.
C.Two.
D.One.
11.How does Vitamin P help slow the aging process?
A.By dealing with oxidation.
B.By maintaining bones.
C.By strengthening muscle.
D.By protecting against chronic diseases.
【答案及解析】：
答案：8.A; 9.D; 10.B; 11.A
解析：8.rattle sth off 的意思是一口气说出。

从第一段后面出现的guess和much-talked-about 等词可以做出正确判断。

9.第二段It might well have you scratching your head. 是指它很有可能会让你挠头(冥思苦想),故A选项错。

the term was first coined in the 1930s是指这个术语是20世纪30年代被创造的,故B选项错。

从were believed to have health benefits可知C选项错。

从these compounds are now better known as flavonoids可知D选项正确。

10.第一种为: for the body, helping maintain bones and teeth;第二种为:for the production of the protein collagen(胶原),which provides structure to blood vessels, muscles and skin;第三种
为:They are also said to help the body deal with some of the key drivers of illness.That means
they could help to protect against chronic diseases including cancer and heart disease.
11.从最后一段including oxidation(氧化), a natural process by which the body's cells age and can become damaged and defective(有缺陷的),可知Vitamin P可帮助抗氧化。

Fabien Cousteau was born with deep love for the ocean. His grandfather and his father were ocean explorers and documentary filmmakers. Fabien spent his early years on his grandfather's ships. Today, Fabien follows in his family's footsteps to protect the planet's endangered ocean life. With his vast knowledge and experience, he tries to strike a balance between environmental problems and market economies.
Fabien is well known for his study of sharks. During 2000-2002, he created a TV special called Attack of the Mystery Shark based on the shark attacks that occurred along the New Jersey shoreline in the summer of 1916. Then in 2003-2006, with the help of a large crew, Fabien created a shark submarine (潜艇) that enabled him to put himself inside the shark world, providing people with a rare view of the mysterious and often misunderstood creatures.
For the next four years (2006-2010), Fabien was part of a series called, Ocean Adventures, which offered a rare look into some of the most fantastic ocean species (物种) and environments.
In 2010, Fabien started Plant A Fish, a nonprofit project for children to help restore local water ecosystems by replanting key ocean species. Save the world, one fish at a time. The project is still in progress now and its final goal is to plant 1 billion “fish” worldwide.
From June 1 to July 2, 2014, Fabien and his team spent 31 days underwater to research how climate change and pollution are affecting the oceans. Fabien's Mission 31 broke new ground by going deeper, longer and further, exposing (显露) the world to the adventure and the mystique (神秘) of what lies beneath.
Fabien is currently working on a documentary film about the adventures of Mission 31, as well as building an Ocean Learning Center to provide children around the world with the opportunity to learn about oceans and engage with ocean explorers directly through social media.
