高二英语选修八_Unit3_单元测试卷(名师)
Unit3 单元测试卷（名师）Book 8 Unit 3 单元测试题一、阅读理解ADo you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I'm just a kid”, you might be! Don't worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor－Benjamin Franklin－got his start when he was only 12.At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally, his creation led to what we know is called flippers!So, you don't have to be adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.So, what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model－called a prototype(原型) of your idea.Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult's help to get a patent for your idea, so that it is protected and can't be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It's a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper(尿布)”, a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder. 1．By saying “But I'm just a kid”，you probably mean you ．A．are too young to achieve anythingB．can do anything though you are youngC．are old enough to become an inventorD．have to learn knowledge from other people2. Kids are most likely to be inventors probably because they ．A．would like to make friends with othersB．usually work hard at their lessons at schoolC．like playing all kinds of toys at homeD．think about things in quite different ways3．Who invented something that helps the blind to read?A．Jeannie Low.B．Benjamin Franklin.C．Chelsea Lanmon. D．Louis Braille.4. Which of the following can be the main idea of this passage?A．Kids have curiosity and imagination.B．There are some world-famous inventors.C．Kids are exactly like adults in a way.D．It is possible for kids to be inventors.BA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested onhumans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.5.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk_______.A. started sleep more easilyB. were more anxiousC. were less activeD. woke up later6.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A. It's been tested on mice for ten times.B. It can make people more energetic.C. It exists in milk in great amount.D. It's used in sleeping drugs.7.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Night Milk and SleepB. Fat, Sugar and HealthC. An Experiment on MiceD. Milk Drinking and Health8.How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.二、语法填空When I called 1. my mother, she told me snakes came near the house now and then. Here was a chance for me to distinguish myself by inventing somethingmerciful 2. would catch snakes.I tried to find some 3. (produce) that might help me, but there only seemed to be powders 4. (design) to kill snakes. I set about 5. (research) the habits of 6. (they).Prepared with some research findings, I decided on three possible approaches. I chose the last one to cool the snakes so that they would become sleepy and could be easily caught, which was successful. I carried 7.________small net in the 8. __________(expect) that the snakes would bite again. But monitored 9.__________(careful), the snakes proved to be no trouble.

人教课标版高中英语课文及翻译
人教课标版高中英语选修8 课文及翻译选修8 Unit 1 A land of diversity-ReadingCALIFORNIACalifornia is the third largest state in the USA but has the largest population. It also has the distinction of being the most multicultural state in the USA, having attracted people from all over the world. The customs and languages of the immigrants live on in their new home. This diversity of culture is not surprising when you know the history of California.NATIVE AMERCANSExactly when the first people arrived in what we now know as California, no one really knows. However, it is likely that Native Americans were living in California at least fifteen thousand years ago. Scientists believe that these settlers crossed the Bering Strait in the Arctic to America by means of a land bridge which existed in prehistoric times. In the 16th century, after the arrival of the Europeans, the native people suffered greatly. Thousands were killed or forced into slavery. In addition, many died from the diseases brought by the Europeans. However, some survived these terrible times, and today there are more Native Americans living in California than in any other state.THE SPANISHIn the 18th century California was ruled by Spain. Spanish soldiers first arrived in South America in the early 16th century, when they fought against the native people and took their land. Two centuries later, the Spanish had settled in most parts of South America and along the northwest coast of what we now call the United States. Of the first Spanish to go to California, the majority were religious men, whose ministry was to teach the Catholic religion to the natives. In 1821, the people of Mexico gained their independence from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. In 1846 the United States declared war on Mexico, and after the war won by the USA, Mexico had to give California to the USA. However, there is still a strong Spanish influence in the state. That is why today over 40 of Californians speak Spanish as a first or second language.RUSSIANSIn the early 1800s, Russian hunters, who had originally gone to Alaska, began settling in California. Today there are about 25,000 Russian-Americans living in and around San Francisco.GOLD MINERSIn 1848, not long after the American-Mexican war, gold was discovered in California. The dream of becoming rich quickly attracted people from all over the world. The nearest, and therefore the first to arrive, were South Americans and people from the United States. Then adventurers from Europe and Asia soon followed. In fact, few achieved their dream of becoming rich. Some died or returned home, but most remained in California to make a life for themselves despite great hardship. They settled in the new towns or on farms. By the time California elected to become thethirty-first federal state of the USA in 1850, it was already a multicultural society.LATER A RRIVALSAlthough Chinese immigrants began to arrive during the Gold Rush Period, it was the building of the rail network from the west to the east coast that brought even larger numbers to California in the 1860s. Today, Chinese-Americans live in all parts of California, although a large percentage have chosen to stay in the "Chinatowns" of Los Angeles and San Francisco.Other immigrants such as Italians, mainly fishermen but also wine makers, arrived in California in the late 19th century. In 1911 immigrants from Denmark established a town of their own, which today still keeps up their Danish culture. By the 1920s the film industry was well established in Hollywood, California. The industry boom attracted Europeans including many Jewish people. Today California has the second largest Jewish population in the United States.Japanese farmers began arriving in California at the beginning of the 20th century, and since the 1980s a lot more have settled there. People from Africa have been living in California since the 1800s, when they moved north from Mexico. However, even more arrived between 1942 and 1945 to work in the ship and aircraft industries. MOST RECENT ARRIVALSIn more recent decades, California has become home to more people from Asia, including Koreans, Cambodians, Vietnamese and Laotians. Since its beginning in the 1970s, the computer industry has attracted Indians and Pakistanis to California. THE FUTUREPeople from different parts of the world, attracted by the climate and the lifestyle, still immigrate to California. It is believed that before long the mix of nationalities will be so great that there will be no distinct major racial or cultural groups, but simply a mixture of many races and cultures.GEORGE’S DIARY 12TH—14TH JUNEMonday 12th, JuneArrived early this morning by bus. Went straight to hotel to drop my luggage, shower and shave. Then went exploring. First thing was a ride on a cable car. From top of the hill got a spectacular view of San Francisco Bay and the city. Built in 1873, the cable car system was invented by Andrew Hallidie, who wanted to find a better form of transport than horse-drawn trams. Apparently he'd been shocked when he saw a terrible accident in which a tram's brakes failed, the conductor could not control the situation and the tram slipped down the hill dragging the horses with it. Had a late lunch at Fisherman's What. This is the district where Italian fishermen first came to San Francisco in the late 19th century and began the fishing industry. Now it's a tourist area with lots of shops, sea food restaurants and bakeries. It's also the place to catch the ferry to Angel Island and other places in the Bay.Did so much exploring at Fisherman's What. Am exhausted and don't feel like doing anything else. Early bed tonight!Tuesday 13th, JuneTeamed up with a couple from my hotel (Peter and Terri) and hired a car. Spent all day driving around the city. There's a fascinating drive marked out for tourists. It has blue and white signs with seagulls on them to show the way to go. It's a 79km round-trip that takes in all the famous tourist spots. Stopped many times to admire the view of the city from different angles and take photographs. Now have a really good idea of what the city's like.In evening, went to Chinatown with Peter and Terri. Chinese immigrants settled in this area in the 1850s. The fronts of the buildings are decorated to look like old buildings in southern China. Saw some interesting temples here, a number of markets and a great many restaurants. Also art galleries and a museum containing documents, photographs and all sorts of objects about the history of Chinese immigration, but it is closed in the evening. Will go back during the day. Had a delicious meal and then walked down the hill to our hotel.Wednesday 14th, JuneIn morning, took ferry to Angel Island from the port in San Francisco Bay. On the way had a good view of the Golden Gate Bridge. From 1882 to 1940 Angel Island was a famous immigration station where many Chinese people applied for right to live in USA. The cells in the station were very small, cold and damp; some did not even have light but the immigrants had nowhere else to go. Their miserable stay seemed to be punishment rather than justice and freedom to them. They wrote poems on the walls about their loneliness and mourned their former life in China. In 1940 the civil authorities reformed the system so that many more Chinese people were able to grasp the opportunity of settling in the USA. Made me very thoughtful and thankful for my life today.选修8 Unit 2 Cloning-ReadingCLONING: WHERE IS IT LEADING US?Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg. The fact is that these are both examples of natural clones.Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough - the cloning of Dolly the sheep.The procedure works like this:On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become seriously ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly's illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: "Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure?"On the other hand, Dolly's appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody's eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings.Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders hoping to clone themselves to attain their ambitions. Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us.克隆一直在我们左右并且已经被大多数人接受。

人教版英语八上unit3阅读课教学设计人教版八年级上册Unit 3 I’m more outgoing than my sister.Section B 2a-2e 说课稿乌林九年制学校齐琳一、教材分析本单元主要是通过学习谈论人物特征、对比不同的人物，巧妙地将形容词、副词的比较级及等级比较融入其中。
本节课是这单元的第四节课，是节阅读课。
学生通过任务型阅读，能够掌握单词和短语，正确理解文章的重点句子和作者的观点。
并且通过对“Best Friend”这个话题的讨论，学生进一步学习形容词比较级的用法，并能熟练的运用，本节课是为下节写作课做铺垫。
二、教学目标分析知识目标：通过这节阅读课，使学生学会阅读形容词比较级描述的同学之间的比较类文章，并对阅读语篇中的语言点进行语言积累。
语言技能：学生学会阅读任务的比较。
情感态度：通过描述人的人格特征，是学生在人际交往中学会尊重和理解别人，学会交换不同的看法，了解他人的喜好，增进友谊。
文化意识：体验西方文化的交友观。
三、教学重、难点重点：学会用形容词的比较级来描述人的外貌和个性。
难点：文章中比较难理解的句子。
四、学情分析我所教的八年级是个活跃的集体，他们喜欢模仿，有较强的求知欲和表现欲。
他们积极表现自己，有时又缺乏自信想得到老师的肯定和鼓励，八年级又是一个分化的年纪，学优生轻松掌握知识，学困生勉强听懂老师要求。
面对这样的情况，我所设计的教学活动既有面向全体学生的小游戏，也有口头作文这样的即兴发挥，让所有的学生都参与到课堂中来，并且给与学生肯定和鼓励，建立学习英语的自信心，培养学习兴趣，让每个学生都有所收获，让英语课堂快乐起来，这不仅是学校控辍保学的要求，也是《课程标准》的要求。
五、教法设计（1）比较级是八年级新接触的语法项目，而本节课的话题“Best friend”就是来自于学生的生活,基于这一点，要充分利用学生已有的经验和体会，创设生活化的情景和话题，引发学生情感的共鸣，有感才能发，为写作做准备。
