just spent a year working as a teacher in Nepal.Two years later，my schedule reads more like a traveller’s than a student’s does，having spent 18 months abroad under university programmes.I have seen many students abandon their studies，desiring to see the world before making any longterm decisions.My advice for wouldbe global travellers is to choose a degree subject that you find truly interesting，and use the resources available to see as much of the world as possible.So no longer does the “travel or study” question need an eitheror response；with a little research and organization，it’s possible to combine the two.Two programmes that allow y ou to do this are “Erasmus” and “U21”．The Erasmus Programme aims to increase students’mobility within the European Union and associated states.Participants under this programme get to spend a semester(学期) at a foreign university，often receiving a grant from the EU or their home department.By the start of the next academic year，more than one million students will have benefited under Erasmus.Not only do you get to sit through hours of lectures in the local language，you also gain cultural experience in the country.France，Germany and Spain are always popular，but the EU encourages applicants to choosecountries where less popular languages are spoken，such as Greece and Portugal.Theoretically，students of any subject can participate in the Erasmus Programme，although it depends on the involvement of your specific department in the project.The reality is that，in many universities，the programme is most commonly intended for modern language students.For a French student like me，Melbourne in Australia seems an unlikely destination，yet I was sent there in my second year.U21 is a multinational association of universities throughout the world，which have united to offer their students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.The applicant’s destination depends on the links between their department and the corresponding departments of member universities，which can be found in countries such as New Zealand，China，Singapore，Canada，Sweden and the United States.1．What happened to many students who travelled while studying?A．They chose a degree subject that they found truly interesting.B．They abandoned their studies.C．They used the resources available to see the world.D．They responded to the “travel or study” question.2．Who is most likely to be chosen by the Erasmus Programme?A．A student from the EU.B．A student who would be a global traveller.C．A modern language student.D．A student involved in a specific department.3．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．Seeing the World with University StudentsB．Studying and Travelling in the European UnionC．Experiencing Foreign CulturesD．Studying Abroad under University ProgrammesⅣ.信息匹配A.Control of respiration.B.Basic tips for preserving cut flowers.C.Role of respiration.D.Most important aspect of flower care.E.Need for clean water.F.Ways of stopping respiration.enjoys fresh cut flowers around his house，few people know how to keep them for as long as possible.This may be done by keeping in mind a few simple facts.The key to keeping fresh cut flower for a week or more without preservatives (which contain biocides (杀虫剂) that kill bacterial and fungus) is to keep the water fresh and the stems free of air pockets so they can continue to draw up water.remember about cut flowers is that they are sensitive to temperature.For example，studies have shown that cut carnations retain their freshness eight times longer when kept at 12℃ than when kept at 26℃.Keeping freshly harvested flowered at the right temperatures is probably the most important aspect of flower care.The process by which flowers consume oxygen and produce carbon dioxide，called respiration (呼吸)，supplies the energy the flower needs to give the flower its shape and color.The making of seeds also depends on this energy.While all living things respire，flowers have a high level of respiration.A result of all this respiration is heat，and for flowers the level of heat relative to the mass of the flower is very high.Respiration also brings about the eventual death of the flower.Thus the greater the level of respiration，the sooner the flower dies.control the speed at which flowers die? By controlling respiration.How is respiration controlled? By controlling temperature，we know that respiration produces heat，but the reverse (反面) is also true.Thus by keeping low temperatures，respiration is reduced and the cut flower will age more slowly.in keeping cut flowers is the quality of the water in which they are placed.Flowers find it difficult to “drink” water that is dirty or otherwise polluted.Even when water looks and smells clean，it almost certainly contains harmful substances that can endanger the flowers.To rid the water of these unwanted substances，chlorine bleach (含氯漂白剂) can be used in small quantities.It is recommended that 15 drops of chlorine bleach be added to each liter of water.The water and solution (溶液) should also be replaced each day.必修三Unit 1Festivals around the worldⅠ.语音知识1～5.ABCCCⅡ.单项填空1．【解析】选A。

题组层级快练11 Unit 1 Festivals around the world““阅读＋七选五＋完形”组合练(时间：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

(原创)In a bid to convince drivers in Aichi Prefecture to keep their hands on the_wheel and their eyes on the road, a new Japanese smartphone app offers free coffee coupons(优惠券)to drivers who don’t check their phones for at least 100 km.For the last 13 years, Aichi Prefecture has recorded the highest rate of death in traffic accidents in Japan. Last year, there were 443, 691 accidents that resulted in injuries or deaths, and 50, 101 arrests involving the use of smartphones while driving. With handhelds becoming such a big part of people’s lives, there appears to be an increase in violations of this nature, and authorities have yet to come up with an effective plan to deal with the problem.Interestingly, a Japanese company seems to think that a creative new app could in some way help drivers to keep themselves from checking their phones at the wheel and reduce the number of traffic accidents. Toyota Motor Corporation, Komeda Coffee and KDDI Corporation of Communication have teamed up to create Driving Barista, an app that uses the phone’s sensor to sense the tilt(倾斜)of the device, and the GPS to determine the distance driven. This allows it to calculate the number of kilometers a driver has traveled with the smartphone facing down.When Driving Barista determines that the smartphone has not been checked for at least 100 kilometers, it will reward the driver with a coupon for a cup of blended or iced coffee at a Komeda Coffee Shop. The reward is earned after every 100 kilometers driven without checking the phone. If you try to change the number before it reaches 100 km, the app will reset back at 0 km.Toyota claims that this is the first smartphone app that attempts to deal with traffic safety issues. “In line with contributing to the final goal of achieving zero death and zero traffic accidents, Toyota has taken automobile safety measures as one of its top priority management concerns，”said Shuichi Murakami, managing officer at Toyota. “By carrying out a new traffic safety regulations together with Komeda Coffee and KDDI, we hope to further reduce traffic accidents.”1. “The wheel”in Paragraph l actually refers to ________.2. What can we learn about Japan’s traffic from the passage?A. Over 50, 000 Japanese drivers got arrested for phone use while driving.B. The final goal of achieving zero traffic accidents will soon come true.C. Aichi Prefecture no longer tops the list in Japan’s traffic death rates.D. 443, 691 people died or got injured in last year’s traffic accidents.3. What do we know about Driving Barista?A. It encourages driving without checking smartphones.B. It is created by several Japanese motor companies.C. It determines the distance the driver has driven.D. It can be placed in any position by the drivers.4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Smartphones — the No. 1 killer in drivingB. An app to control smartphone use in drivingC. Drivers, do you like coffee?D. Japan’s new traffic regulations答案与解析【文章大意】文章以爱知县和日本的交通状况为线索，谈到政府和一些汽车企业为降低因使用手机带来的交通事故而发明的一种新设备。

单元综合测评(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解(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。

A(2016·衡水一中高三模拟)Michelangelo Buonarroti was born in Caprese, Italy on March 6,1475.He was still young when his family moved to Florence where Michelangelo grew up. His mother died when he was only six years old. Growing up in Florence during the Italian Renaissance was the perfect stage of young Michelangelo's life. Even as a child all he wanted to do was painting and to be an artist.At the age of thirteen, he went to learn from Domenico Ghirlandaio, who was not only a painter but also an artist. Michelangelo's talents became apparent as he worked for Domenico. Within a year or so Domenico sent him to the powerful Medici family to continue his training under the sculptor (雕刻家) Bertoldo di Geovanni. Michelangelo was able to work with some of the finest artists and philosophers of the time. During the next few years, Michelangelo produced many famous sculptures including Madonna of the Steps, Battle of the Centaurs and Bacchus.In 1496 Michelangelo moved to Rome. A year later he was asked to make a sculpture called The Pieta.It would become one of the masterpieces of Renaissance art. Today this sculpture sits in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. It is the only piece of art that Michelangelo signed.Michelangelo's fame (名声) as a great artist began to grow. He returned to Florence and was asked to create a large statue of David. It took him a couple of years to finish the giant statue. The piece of marble (大理石) he began with was very tall and thin. Many people didn't think he could do much with it. He worked without letting anyone see it until it was finished. David became Michelangelo's most famous work of art. It is thirteen feet tall and is the largest statue made since Ancient Rome. It isconsidered by many experts in art to be a nearly perfect sculpture. Today the statue sits at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy.【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物传记。

手惰市安逸阳光实验学校课时作业 11Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·雅礼中学高三调研)The values of artistic works, according to cultural relativism(相对主义), are simply reflections of local social and economic conditions. Such a view, however, fails to explain the ability of some works of art to excite the human mind across cultures and through centuries.History has witnessed the endless productions of Shakespearean plays in every major language of the world. It is never rare to find that Mozart packs Japanese concert halls, as Japanese painter Hiroshige does Paris galleries. Unique works of this kinds are different from today's popular art, even if they began as works of popular art. They have set themselves apart in their timeless appeal and will probably be enjoyed for centuries into the future.In a 1757 essay, the philosopher David Hume argued that because “the general principles of taste are uniform(不变的)in human nature，” the value of some works of art might be essentially permanent. He observed that Homer was still admired after two thousand years. Works of this type, he believed, spoke to deep and unvarying features of human nature and could continue to exist over centuries.Now researchers are applying scientific methods to the study of the universality of art. For example, evolutionary psychology is being used by literary scholars to explain the longlasting themes and plot devices in fiction. The structures of musical pieces are now open to experimental analysis as never before. Research findings seem to indicate that the creation by a great artist is as permanent an achievement as the discovery by a great scientist.本文是一篇议论文。

高三英语一轮复习练习11：Unit 1 Festivals around the world练习题

Unit 1 Festivals around the worldⅠ.阅读理解Celebrations and traditions hold a special place in a country.It is a way for people to express themselves.Besides the national festivals and celebrations,many places enjoy some strange celebrations.Here are just four strange festivals:ToddRiverRaceIf you want something quieter,take a trip to Alice Springs in the dry heart of Australia.There you will find the Todd River Race in a riverbed that normally has no water.The boats are bottomless and without paddles,or motors.They are usually constructed from beer cans,which have been eagerly emptied by the boat builders.The teams run up the riverbed with their feet sticking out of the bottom of their boats.In 1993 the race was cancelled because of the threat of a once in a blue moon rainstorm.Sauna(桑拿浴)BathingChampionshipsIf you prefer it hot,Finland is the place for you to compete in the Sauna Bathing Championships.Every 30 seconds the heat is turned up,but the contestants must keep theirnaked(赤裸的) bottoms firmly on the wooden seat,while remaining seated in an upright position.The last person left in the sauna is the winner.TheLaTomatinaFestivalEvery August thousands of Spaniards take part in the La Tomatina Festival inBuñol.Truckloads of tomatoes are pulled in each year and unloaded in the city centre.People throw tomatoes at each other for the whole day.The only rule is that the tomato must be flattened in the hand first,before being thrown.Even elderly grandmothers have been known to take part.TheNakedFestivalJapan hosts the Naked Festival.All male contestants are dressed in oversize diapers(纸尿裤) and parade through the winter streets.Bystanders throw cold water over the contestants,who drinka great amount of sake,a Japanese alcoholic drink made from rice,in an effort to stop them from freezing.Some say festivals express something about the people who celebrate them.However,I think it is important as a universal community that we respect how and what others choose to celebrate,as each festival meets a particular need in the individuals of that country and becomes a part of their way of life.1.The underlined part “once in a blue moon” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “”.A.rareB.timelyC.regularD.seasonal2.During the Naked Festival,contestants .A.have to drink cold waterB.include males and femalesC.drink alcohol to keep warmD.can eat rice given by bystanders3.In the last paragraph,the author asks readers to .A.learn about more festivalsB.be tolerant of each festivalC.make festivals a part of their lifeD.realize the importance of festivalsⅡ.完形填空I loved working with my dad,but I hated the summer job he gave me.He owned a small 1 in Bank Street.In his shop,the most recently 2person got the worst job,and the boss’son was also 3.I
