libraries to the schools so books are more available in farming communities.He works with publishers in Hanoi to get the books at reduced rates for teachers and their students.Mr Thach says most schools have enough textbooks.But he says many poor families have few books at home and do not visit school libraries.He learned this by talkingwith farmers，workers and students.More than 90 percent of Vietnam’s population can read and write.But academic performance in the schools remains low compared to other Southeast Asian nations.Corruption is a big part of the problem.Vietnamese media often have stories about teachers giving high grades in exchange for money.Some experts criticize teaching methods that depend heavily on dictation.They say asking students to repeat everything a teacher says to the class harms their ability to think for themselves.Nguyen Quang Thach says he wants people to invest money in books for a better future.To date，almost 1,000 parent libraries have been built in Thai Binh Province.Hundreds of books are in each one.Several other provinces have copied this model.For each school，Mr Thach helps build libraries for up to four classes.Other people then follow his example.Parents of school children pay three dollars each for the first year and one dollar in other years.The head of the An Duc Secondary School，Pham Duc Duong，told reporter Marianne Brown that Mr Thach’s work has improved the quality of education.“He says students have been doing better in competitions，especially in social science.”Duong Le Nga heads the school youth group.She says that after the libraries were built，students started asking teachers more questions.The students also set up debating teams.Sh e thinks Mr Thach’s example helps students think more creatively—“outside the box”．The deputy head of the school，Uong Minh Thanh，says many students there will work in factories.But after seeing the influence of the new libraries，he hopes the children will set high goals for themselves.1．We can learn from the passage that Vietnamese teachers________.A．lack creative teaching methodsB．don’t have a high salary to support familyC．make money by forcing students to attend classesD．d on’t have enough books to read2．How is the library project carried out?A．Every school will be provided with four libraries.B．Mr Thach and parents cofund for the libraries.C．Parents pay three dollars every year.D．Parents should pay four dollars in all.3．In Duong Le Nga’s opinion，students________.A．have been doing better in compositionsB．need to have a box when thinkingC．are more creative in thinking than beforeD．should set high goals for themselves4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．People t hink highly of Nguyen Quang Thach’s “parent libraries” project.B．Vietnamese teachers’ corruption is ruining the future of children.C．Schools in Vietnam are in great need of libraries.D．A Vietnamese helps the quality of education by a book revolution.B(2014·福建省名校质量检查)According to body language expert Robert Phipps，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position，with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up (蜷曲)，the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness，and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往型) sleepers are next on the list.About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results，explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefallerposition.This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，but also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add：“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”5．Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?6．The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to “________”．A．stubborn B．flexibleC．comfortable D．strange7．Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A．The fetal position. B．The log position.C．The yearner position. D．The freefaller position.8．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Subpoint C：ConclusionⅤ.书面表达手机给现代人的生活带来了许多便利，人们越来越离不开手机。

Unit 4 Pygmalion阅读理解·组块专练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解AI learnt about the Pygmalion effect when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford's answers in a spelling test. Before that I was average at school but after that, because Melissa Crawford was smart, and I got all the right answers, I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by theteachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids. Thisexperience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important thePygmalion effect is in terms of being around mentors (导师) that expect thatyou' re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast. Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around, copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this sit e had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time. A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic on their sites and I learnt from them. Truthfully I don't know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it the Pygmalion effect.P．S. My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that's actually completely irrelevant (不相关的) when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.语篇解读：文章通过自己的经历告诉我们皮革马利翁的神奇力量。

It made 10.______ of us feel good.Ⅱ.阅读理解An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998. Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium －sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.Ultimately，as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word.11．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A．To invite authors to guide readers.B．To encourage people to read and share.C．To involve people in community service.D．To promote the friendship between cities.12．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A．They had little interest in reading.B．They were too busy to read a book.C．They came from many different backgrounds.D．They lacked support from the local government.13. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?A．In large communities with little sense of unity.B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.C．In medium－sized cities with a diverse population.D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.14. The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”．A．exchanged ideas with each otherB．discussed the meaning of a wordC．gained life experienceD．used the same language15. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by________.A．the careful selection of a proper bookB．the growing popularity of the writersC．the number of people who benefit from readingD．the number of books that each person readsⅢ.信息匹配请阅读下列短文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Unit 4 Pygmalion李仕才一、阅读理解。

When I was a boy there were no smart phones，and our television only got one channel clearly.Still，I was never bored.The fields，hills，and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake.At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before.It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides，but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.I walked on and on for hours.I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear“Turn around and head back home”，but I was stubborn，so I walked on.There was still neither a car nor a house in sight.I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared.I didn't want to end up trapped on this road，and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me.My heart was pounding and my legs were aching.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the distance.It was a house that I recognized.I jumped up and down and laughed out loud.It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time.I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this re cently when I saw a sign that said “All roads lead home”．It is true.In life，all roads，no matter how they twist and turn，can lead us home again.What is important，though，is how we travel them.Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith？Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey？The choice is ours.1．Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?A．Because he could have fun in nature.B．Because he could watch TV all day.C．Because he had many friends.D．Because he used to explore the old dirt road.2．How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?A．He thought he would be scolded by his parents.B．He felt contradictory in mind.C．He thought he would be trapped in the woods.D．He was unconscious.3．What does “something” probably mean in Paragraph 3?A．Doubt. B．Hope.C．Courage. D．Fear.4．What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A．Always make choices on our own.B．All roads lead home.C．It's our attitude that matters in our life.D．Every effort is worthwhile.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Binh Province.Hundreds of books are in each one.Several other provinces have copied this model.For each school，Mr Thach helps build libraries for up to four classes.Other people then follow his example.Parents of school children pay three dollars each for the first year and one dollar in other years.The head of the An Duc Secondary School，Pham Duc Duong，told reporter Marianne Brown that Mr Thach’s work has improved the quality of education.“He says students have been doing better in competitions，especially in social science.”Duong Le Nga heads the school youth group.She says that after the libraries were built，students started asking teachers morequestions.The students also set up debating teams.She thinks Mr Thach’s example helps students think more creatively—“outside the box”．The deputy head of the school，Uong Minh Thanh，says many students there will work in factories.But after seeing the influence of the new libraries，he hopes the children will set high goals for themselves.1．We can learn from the passage that Vietnamese teachers________.A．lack creative teaching methodsB．don’t have a high salary to support family C．make money by forcing students to attend classesD．don’t have enough books to read2．How is the library project carried out?A．Every school will be provided with four libraries.B．Mr Thach and parents cofund for the libraries.C．Parents pay three dollars every year.D．Parents should pay four dollars in all.3．In Duong Le Nga’s opinion，students________.A．have been doing better in compositionsB．need to have a box when thinkingC．are more creative in thinking than beforeD．should set high goals for themselves4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．People think highly of Nguyen Quang Thach’s “parent libraries” project.B．Vietnamese teachers’ corruption is ruining the future of children.C．Schools in Vietnam are in great need of libraries.D．A Vietnamese helps the quality of education by a book revolution.B(2014·名校质量检查)According to body language expert Robert Phipps，the way people sleep at night actually determines a lot about the type of personality they have.Phipps has identified four sleeping positions that affect personality.Phipps found that worriers，those who stress the most，tend to sleep in the fetal (胎儿的) position.He found that this is the most common bedtime position，with nearly 58 percent of people sleeping on their side with knees up and head down.The more we curl up (蜷曲)，the more comfort we are seeking，according to Phipps.The second most common position is the log.Sleeping with a straight body，with arms at each side，as if they are standing guard at Buckingham Palace，indicates stubbornness，and these people (the 28 percent who sleep this way) often wake up stiffer than when they went to sleep.“The longer you sleep like this，the more rigid your thinking is and you can become inflexible，which means you make things harder for yourself，” according to Phipps.Yearner (向往型) sleepers are next on the list.About 25 percent of people sleep in this style—on their side with arms stretched out in front，looking as if they are either chasing a dream or perhaps being chased themselves.Yearners are typically their own worst critics，always expecting the best results，explained Phipps.These people often wake up refreshed and eager to face the challenges of the day ahead.Perhaps the most peculiar (奇怪的) of sleep styles is the freefaller position.This sleep style makes up 17 percent of the population.They sleep face down with arms stretched out.These people，according to Phipps，feel like they have little control over their life.Not only is this the strangest of sleep styles，but also the least comfortable，and people may wake up feeling tired and have no energy.In conclusion，Phipps has only one more thing to add：“A good night’s sleep sets you up for the following day and our sleeping positions can determine how we feel when we wake.”5．Which of the following pictures is the fetal position?6．The underlined word “rigid” is closest in meaning to“________”．A．stubborn B．flexibleC．comfortable D．strange7．Which sleeping position indicates that the sleeper tends to seek perfection?A．The fetal position. B．The log position.C．The yearner position. D．The freefaller position.8．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?CP：Central Point P：Point Sp：Subpoint C：ConclusionⅤ.书面表达手机给现代人的生活带来了许多便利，人们越来越离不开手机。

毛额市鹌鹑阳光实验学校Unit 4 PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解Weighing too much can damage your health，and obesity is a growing problem for both kids and adults around the world.Sleep might be one answer to the problem.A new study has found that elementary school students who slept too little were more likely to gain pounds.Past studies have shown a link between sleeping less and weighing more，but scientists have had a tough timedetermining“which_came_first，the_chicken_or_the_egg，”says Julie C．Lumeng of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.In other words，it hasn't been clear whether kids who weigh too much have trouble sleeping，or whether sleeping less leads to weight gain.Both scenarios(可能出现的情况) seemed equally possible.To get a better idea of which causes which，Lumeng and her colleagues interviewed the parents of 785 third graders from around the United States.The parents answered questions about how well their kids slept that year.Three years later，the parents answered the same questions.By sixth grade,18 percent of kids involved in the study were obese.The scientists found no relationship between weight and the students' race or gender.It also didn't matter how strict their parents were，or whether they were boys or girls.Obesity struck all of these groups equally.Instead，sleep seemed to be the key factor.Over the 3 years of the study，the children averaged a healthy 9.5 hours of sleep a night.Some kids，however，slept a lot more—or less—than others.For the sixth graders，every hour of sleep above the 9.5—hour average—was linked to a 20 percent lower risk of being obese.Sleep appeared doubly important for the third graders.Every extra hour of sleep they got was linked to a 40 percent drop in obesity.1．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 imply?A．Scientists have found the exact causes of children's obesity.B．There is always something difficult to understand through theory.C．The causeeffect relationship between weight and sleep isn't clear.D．A person's weight has something to do with the amount of his sleep.2．What did the interview find out?A．9.5 hours of sleep a night is enough for children.B．The more a child sleeps，the healthier he will be.C．Six graders need much more sleep than third graders.D．One's race or gender has nothing to do with his weight.3．How does the author develop the passage?A．By listing figures.B．By comparing different opinions.C．By providing examples.D．By conducting a survey.4．What is the suitable title for the passage?A．The benefits of enough sleep for childrenB．Sleeping less increases the risk of obesityC．Which comes first，little sleep or obesity?D．How many hours of sleep do children need?答案：[解题导语]本文是说明文。

store.A new drink is taking up more and more space on the shelves，and that drink is water.Bottled water sales in the US rose to 1.7 billion gallonsin 2010 for plastic bottles alone，compared to total sales of only 700 million gallons in 1990.Whereas bottled water was once associated only with the rich and the privileged (特权阶层)，it is now regularly drunk by people at all income levels despite the fact that the price of bottled water can be between 240 and 10,000 times higher per gallon than tap water.What accounts for this surprising increase in demand?Traditionally，people have drunk bottled water for health reasons.The practice of “taking the waters” originated with the Romans，who believed that a person developed a healthy mind by building a healthy body.Across Europe，drinking or bathing in mineral water has been associated with the power to cure various diseases.Health spas at Evian in France and Pellegrino in Italy began bottling water so that their consumers could continue their treatments at home.The consumers in the 21st century are also concerned about health.However，in America，where the habit of drinking bottled water is relatively new，the concern is often more related to the purity or sterilization (消毒) of the water than to its mineral contents.Americans are often worried about the effects of the chemical pollution and other contaminants on the water supply.Many Americans view bottled water as a safe alternative to tap water.Further reasons for drinking bottled water are its usefulness as an aid to digestion，as a complement to a good meal in a restaurant，and for taste.City tap water is often treated with chlorine (氯) to guard against harmful mi croorganisms.Chlorine，as well as metals from pipes and tanks used to distribute and store tap water，can leave behind an unpleasant taste.1．Which of the following statements is true?A．Bottled water was once drunk both by the rich and the poor.B．Bottled water sales have risen，for it’s cheaper than tap water.C．Europeans believed in the power of treatment of mineral water.D．Americans have had the habit of drinking bottled water for long.2．People prefer bottled water because________.A．it does good to their healthB．it has chlorine to make it taste goodC．it contains no mineral pollution at allD．it’s a practice originated with the Romans3．The underlined word “contaminants” most probably means________.A．pollutants B．microorganismsC．chemicals D．minerals4．Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?A．How Bottled Water OriginatedB．“Taking the Waters” Has Been Practiced for LongC．What’s the Safe Alternative to Tap WaterD．Why Bottled Water Sales IncreaseB(2013·石家庄名校高三模拟考试) For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer，it is not enough to have succeeded in college.The real test is whether they can survive，and become established during their early 20s，making a name for th emselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as talent and creativity.Fashion is a hard business.There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s collections.It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines.It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy.“We try to warn people before they come to us about how tough it is.” says Lydia Kemeny，Head of Fashion at St.Martin’s S chool of Art in London.“And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses.That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities，“We don’t walk our foot on the blossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price，producing ability，marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief.It is not a form of selfexpression as such，although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity.Most y oung designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the characteristic style of their employer.Even those students who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to adapt to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of the market.They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.5．Which of the following is mainly discussed in the passage?A．Talent in fashion.B．Good marks at college.C．Ability to create new designs.D．Business skills in fashion industry.6．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Fashion designers are highly motivated and really detemined.B．Good preparations for the next season can reduce stress.C．Consumers’ appetite for new ideas keeps changing.D．Advertisement business is very competitive.7．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Lydia Kemeny’s opinion.B．The competitive business world.C．The warning to the young designers.D．The real situation in fashion industry.8．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．St.Martin’s School of Art encourages the new students t o design dresses they like.B．St.Martin’s Sc hool of Art requires students to develop their creativity in their designing.C．St.Martin’s School of Art demands students to make pretty dresses for companies.D．St.Martin’s School of Art focuses on teaching students commercial

动词finish的逻辑主语是we，它是动作的执行者，所以应用现在分词形式，排除选项A和C；再依据句中的declined the offer可知，该处应指工作没有完成，所以答案为B。

分词短语在此作状语，相当于原因状语从句because we hadn't finished our work。

4．D考查状语从句的省略。

完整形式为：If the disease diphtheria is untreated…，从句的主语与be动词省略了。

5．B考查非谓语动词。

因为句子的主语和谓语动词serve之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，因此用现在分词。

6．B考查动词辨析。

句意：“决不能向那些与我们的立场相悖的人妥协，”这个人坚定地说。

compromise with意为“与……妥协”，符合句意表达。

7．C考查动词辨析。

句意：也许这位顾客忽略了他的月度报表，而没付单。

overlook 意为“忽略”；omit意为“遗漏；忘记”；bewilder意为“使迷惑；使糊涂；难住”；escape 意为“逃过……的注意；被……忘掉”。

8．C考查副词辨析。

句意：他又开怀大笑起来，弄得我虽然并不像他那样觉得这件事有什么可笑之处，也身不由己地跟着他笑了起来。

heartily意为“尽情地，疯狂地”。

9．A考查介词短语辨析。

根据句意，他应是毫不犹豫地回答，所以用without hesitation。

without consideration “没有考虑”；without discussion “没有讨论”；without doubt “没有疑问、肯定”。
