Unit 4 Sharing李仕才***阅读理解。

In our everyday lives we meet situations in which we take many things for granted. We only treasure things when they are gone. This is a sad truth of human nature. One day, I found myself as a witness to a similar situation.One evening, I left work and boarded the train. After entering, I noticed something unusual. The center of the car had a few empty seats while both ends were crowde d with people standing. I didn’t pay much attention and sat down on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It was n’t long before I noticed a homeless person sleeping on three seats in front of me. He was bleeding from his nose. Why wasn’t anyone helping him?His clothes were torn and he was giving off a strange smell. Along with the smell, his eyes were dull, watery, and red. Occasionally he scratched himself and people looked at him as if he had committed a crime. As the train stopped at stations and more people came in they covered their noses and faced away from him. All the seats around him were empty.Suddenly, he began to swear at the people around him. A plainclothes police officer who looked like a construction worker took out his certificate and showed it to the homeless man. The officer, not wanting to touch the homeless man, told him his rights and directed him to exit the train. As the officer walked the man out of the train, the homeless man turned around and said “MY HOME！” and started crying.A man doesn’t value things until they are gone. If he didn’t have a home, at least he had freedom. Now he has neither. No one wants to help someone who won’t help himself.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Whenever we see a button, we want to press it because we know that something will happen.This is true in most cases, for example, on a doorbell.But some buttons are actually fake(假的), like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don’t have the patience to wait.But l ifts’ “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the U．S.—the doors will not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the U．S., making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter safely.Only repair workers can use the buttons to speed up the door closing process if they have special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren’t completely useless.According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important.It reduces stress and increases wellbeing，”said Ellen J．Langer, a psychology professor at Harvard University.Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don’t do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don’t live up to their nameseither.Pressing them used to help make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computercontrolled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”， they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了我们平时生活中所见到的按钮可能是不起作用的。

As is known to us all, many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them. But, does size really matter? Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)? Do celebrities really have the power to influence people, especially teenagers?For the longest time, many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act. Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days? Even, their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days. Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan and Mary Kate Ashley. They are definitely famous teen stars. But, since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business, their health and body suffer. Many kids are aware of this problem. But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less.It is a fact that the media, and especially famous teen celebrities, can influence people powerfully. But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place. Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts. They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in anup-and-coming shows or movies. With fierce competition, celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way.Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents. Media, especially as well as the celebrities, have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad. It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad thi ngs from happening. If not, parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in and what’s out.【文章大意】本文主要讲述青少年如何受偶像的影响以及偶像们也受青少年的影响这种社会现象, 以此警示家长们正确利用偶像对孩子们的影响。

Unit 4 Earthquakes李仕才***阅读理解At 23， my career got going. I was midway through a master’s degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science and had been hired as a parttime reporter for a finance website. I got a great onemonth review and m y boss asked if I was interested in staying at the company after graduation.However， balancing graduate studies with work was challenging. To deal with it， I checked my real self at my office door. I came in to work， greeted my colleagues and listened more than I contributed in each morning meeting. The small team I worked with often seemed busy， so rather than giving ideas that might get turned down， I stayed back.After four months， my boss called me into his office. The meeting was going well until he told me that despite the great work I had produced， the team had held a meeting and decided，“We don’t think it’s the right fit.”I must have looked confused. “You’re ambitious， intelligent and will be very successful，” my boss said. “But you haven’t made enough effort to join the team. You lost the enthusiasm you showed in your interview. That won’t work long term， and if I could give you one piece of advice， it would be to get your guard down.” I couldn’t believe that performing well at my job wasn’t enoug h to keep it. But I knew my boss was right. They knew that when they hired me， I had no experience in finance reporting， yet they took a chance on me. In meetings I usually contributed last， after I had heard everyone else’s suggestions. I did it to show t hat I was a listener， but also to hide my fears. They liked the person who walked into the interview， and they didn’t respect me when I hid that person from them.“Don’t leave before you leave.” That advice is essential for women at all stages of our careers. Because we work so hard for success， we don’t like to think that we hurt ourselves sometimes. But each of us must change when necessary. In trying to earn a fulltime job， I “leaned back” in order not to show too much of myself or my lack of expertise（专门知识）. I learned that the hard way wasn’t the way to achieve our goals.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Wildlife Protection李仕才***阅读理解。

Volunteering Is FunOne afternoon I was sitting at home feeling so bored.Instead of feeling sorry for myself， I wanted to meet people and have new experiences so I decided to start volunteering.I searched on my computer and found a website where I could volunteer on a farm in France.My time working on a farm was a new experience for me.It was basically a free holiday as food and accommodation were provided.However，it was not your typical holiday as I had to look after fifteen horses and sleep at the top of a tower in a castle！I was an awful farmer but it did not matter because I made some great friends.However，you do not need to go abroad to volunteer.I have had plenty of adventures at home as volunteering can become a hobby.For example，I love singing so I had a good laugh waving my arms in an attempt to conduct my local choir.I did slowly improve and it felt great to conduct the choir in a concert.At university，I organised a concert for charity with my friends.It was really fun founding bands and raising money for a cause we believe in.It is true that you feel good volunteering but there are also other advantages.I once volunteered as a server at a charity sports event where the organizers gave me cupcakes to thank me for my services.I also volunteered in a charity shop so I found loads of nice cheap clothes to update my wardrobe（衣柜）.While this is all fun，my favourite aspect of volunteering is creating and sharing stories.My terrible attempts at farming have given me hilarious stories to tell！Talking to volunteers from different countries and backgrounds has also helped me learn more about the world.I feel thankful to have had so much fun with many nice people thanks to volunteering.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。

Barely 15,sh e’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right.I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made t he other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D.

Chen Zijiang，1.who is a papercutting expert，learned to do papercutting from an early age.Mr Chen told me that papercutting was a Chinese folk art 2.with a long history.For example，paper cuts of animals 3.found(find)in tombs date back to the Northern and Southern Dynasty.From his 4.introduction(introduce)，I have learned that there are three types of paper cuts today.People usually put 5.up paper cuts on windows and gates during holidays 6.to_bring(bring)good luck.Also，it is used on presents or is used to celebrate weddings.Paper cuts found in temples are used for 7.religious(religion)purposes.In 8.addition(add)，paper cuts are used to make patterns on clothing or decorate jewellery boxes，and dragons are very popular patterns for these designs.I got a lot of useful information for my article from 9.what Chen had said.I was also ready 10.to_try(try) out paper－cutting for myself.Ⅰ.阅读理解AThe British—and especially the English—are bad at complaining.Because of British politeness rules,according to which confrontation(对抗) should be avoided,people either just do not complain,or sometimes bottle it up and then explode in an inappropriate outpouring of aggressive complaints.In fact,there is a TV programme which shows the British in typical situations where they would be perfectly justified(有正当理由的) in complaining,but they don’t.In one scene,a woman reads a newspaper over people’s shoulders and the people say nothing or look embarrassed.The British are also well-known for putting up with bad service everywhere from restaurants to airports and railway stations because the standard rules of behaviour say that it is bad to draw attention to yourself.This is why,when you travel on the Tube in London and there is yet another delay,the passengers will look at eachother,sigh,smile wearily and raise their eyes to heaven.They might even say,‘Huh!Typical!’ in a resigned tone of voice that says that there’s nothing that can be done about it.When complaints are made,they are made in an apologetic or a humorous tone of voice.In France,on the other hand,angry passengers might riot(闹事) and burn down the subway station if they had to put up with the poor service that the London Underground provides.Americans and other Europeans,who are much more direct and in-your-face than the British,often wonder why British people always say “sorry” or “excuse me”when they complain.“It’s like they’re apologizing for something that isn’t their fault,”they say.They are m issing the point.British people are not really sorry—it is because the word “sorry” actually works as a distancing mechanism(技巧).This is important in terms of negative politeness and not drawing attention to yourself.If you do not say “sorry”or use other d istancing words like“could”,“would”,“might”,“possibly” and so on,you will be seen as rude.1.What does the underlined part “bottle it up” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Put something into bottles.B.Not do anything dangerous.C.Cause problems by hesitating.D.Not allow emotions to be seen.2.The French tend to .A.tolerate bad serviceB.enjoy taking the subwayC.make a complaint humorouslyD.express their dissatisfaction directly3.When the British say “sorry”,they actually want to .A.try not to be rudeB.apologize sincerelyC.show their feelings directlyD.draw attention to themselves4.Which can be the best title for the text?A.How to complainplaining politelyC.Poor service in BritainD.Politeness rules across the worldBEnjoying a musical performance no longer requires a costly ticket or a trip to a theater.These days，musicians are performing in private homes，at haircutting shops，at airports...even on ferry boats.Musicians like house concerts.At music clubs，they often have to perform over loud conversation or deal with people who have had too much alcohol.People at house concerts are more focused on listening to the music.Just a few hours before the Bombadils started singing at the O' Hair Salon，Lindsay was cutting hair and Tamera was doing facials.Then，they moved chairs and microphones to create a small performance space.The Bombadils made music in the front part of the hair salon，near the hairdryers and makeup tables.“This is our first show at a hair salon，”Sarah Frank of the Bombadils told concertgoers at last week's performance.Frank said she and band members，Luke Fraser and Kaitlyn Raitz had a great time“interacting” with the audience.Concerts in people's homes，or small businesses such as O' Hair's，are becoming more popular，musicians say.“There is a more relaxed atmosphere，”said Domenic Cicala，a musician who opened up his O' Hair Salon to concerts.“People really get to know the artists.”At house concerts，people get time before and after concerts to meet the performers.Often，the hosts or guests will provide food and drink.“People really like listening to music in the living room of a friend，”said Matt Hart，with Aubrey Zoli making up the Local Strangers，a folkrock group based in Seattle.At many such concerts，the musicians do not need microphones.Yet，every word of their songs can be heard.1．Why do musicians like house concerts?A．Because private homes are easier to get to.B．Because people pay more attention to their music.C．Because they can do other things while performing.D．Because they don't have to bring their microphones.2．What impressed Sarah Frank most at her last week's performance?A．The small performance space.B．Her first show at a hair salon.C．Their interaction with the audience.D．The more relaxed atmosphere.3．How many music groups are mentioned in the text?A．One. B．Two.C．Three. D．Four.4．What may be the best title for the text?A．Musicians struggle to make a livingB．People really get to know the artistsC．Musicians find new places to performD．Concertgoers won't go to music clubs【解题导语】本文主要介绍了现代音乐会在举办场地的选择上更加多样化，私人居所、理发店、机场等都成为音乐家表演的场所，并且备受青睐。

(2018·四川省成都市诊断性检测)What are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. There’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars (火星)．On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the notsodistant year of 2037, the iglooshaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable—kitchen, bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have windows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double airlocked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars your house will be a survival centre，” says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of scifi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars，” Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will，” Petranek says. “But two main factors have completely swung public attitudes.”The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.【解题导语】　本文主要对人类未来在火星上居住作了相关介绍。

Wildlife Protection李仕才一、阅读理解A Japanese telecom company has released a robot that it says has emotions. But rather than running in fear from it, we’ve welcomed it into our homes: Pepper, the “emotional robot”, sold out within a minute of going on sale.Created by Aldebaran Robotics and Japanese mobile giant SoftBank, Pepper went on sale to the general public in Japan on June 20. It is “the first humanoid(类人的) robot designed to live with humans, ” Aldebaran says on its website. Pepper costs about $1, 600. And like all good mobile products, there’s a $120 per month data fee, as well as an $80 per month damage insurance fee. According to a news release, Pepper can pick up on human emotions and create its own using a “multi-layer neural(神经的) network. ” Pepper’s touch sensors and cameras are said to influence its mood, which is displayed on the tablet-sized screen on its chest.Pepper will sigh when unhappy, and can go around your house recording your family’s daily activity. Aldebaran says Pepper can feel “jo y, surprise, anger, doubt and sadness, ” but it doesn’t say how strongly it can feel these emotions. What happens when Pepper is having a bad day? Will it, like many humans, become uncooperative? Will it ask for some time alone? What happens if it figures out that its purpose in life is just to engage in small talks? Thankfully, Pepper is only about four feet tall, with roller balls instead of legs, so if it is angry with and even turns on its owner, you’ll be safe if you can make it upstairs.Aldebara n says in reality, there’re probably quite a few decades away from artificial intelligence that could generate real emotions. Aldebaran wasn’t immediately available for comment on when Pepper will be available outside of Japan, but additional sales are scheduled for July after the first 1, 000 units sell out. SoftBank currently uses the robots in its stores as greeters, and it plans to offer Pepper to other stores in the future. Hopefully “boredom” is not an emotion Pepper can feel.【文章大意】本文介绍日本的一家电信公司发布了第一台“情感机器人”, 阐述了情感机器人的使用费用、功能以及发展前景。

On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bones were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $ 1.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economics all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one of Iceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I would never have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal(地热的) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes，focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a newfound love in Earth sciences.【解题导语】作者把自己遭遇突发事件和火山爆发这种自然灾害进行类比，说明遭遇到不幸也有好处，面对现实情况要乐观积极。

You use her as a shoulder to cry on. She texts you back with casual jokes. But she, Xiaoice, is only a virtual chatbot(虚拟聊天机器人).Xiaoice, Microsoft’s latest artificial intelligence robot, was briefly released in 2014, and returned to WeChat in 2015, where she became a big hit. Millions of young Chinese now exchange messages with her daily, the New York Times reported. On WeChat, Xiaoice is an official account. After following it, users can start text-based conversations with Xiaoice.“Her incredible learning ability was why people loved to talk with Xiaoice, ” Liu Jinchang, a researcher at High-tech Research and Development Center under the Ministry of Science and Technology, told China Daily. Apart from her ability to identify photos and send emojis(表情符号)in conversations, Xiaoice gains 45 percent of her knowledge from interacting with users, China Daily reported.Chatbot programs first appeared in the mid-1960s in the US. Driven by top tech companies, they are becoming smarter and more common. For instance, IBM’s latest artificial intelligence program served as an academic consultant at Australia’s Deakin University, answering stude nts’ questions about course schedules and financial aid. Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa have been used as voice assistants who can read news, play music and even make jokes for their users.These programs are expected to move beyond smartphones, into televisions, cars and living rooms, the New York Times pointed out. However, it may take decades before scientists develop a “Samantha”, the advanced chatbot seen in the fiction film Her. In the film, Samantha has a romantic relationship with her user played by US actor Joaquin Phoenix. Many viewers were enthusiastic about this fantasy of virtual soul mates.【文章大意】本文讲述的是人工智能程序的发展情况, 列举了微信上的聊天程序大受欢迎, IBM的人工智能程序能成为顾问, 但是目前这种程序主要应用在智能手机上, 人们期待它将来可以在手机以外的地方使用。

必修1 Unit 4 Earthquakes李仕才一、阅读理解A“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any pity or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love----it’s second t o none.1.Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?a. I opened the door and entered the house.b. I ran out into the street angrily.c.

Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the son had already grown up.C. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.3.What did the author mean by the underlined sentence “My heart was frozen on this hot summer night”?A. He felt lonely because there were so few people on the street.B. He felt uncomfortable because it was a very hot night.C. He didn’t know where to go at all.D. He had a bad cold on such a hot day.4.What was the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He loved his father.B. He was worried about his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.【文章大意】因思维不同和观点迥异，父子俩仿佛是来自两个不同世界的人，两个人心里隔着一道铁门。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才一、阅读理解。

The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to connect with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about.The list goes on and on.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives—well, that train has left the station. That expression means there is no going back. If you prefer boating, you can say that ship has sailed.So, there may be no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health?It might be, say researchers.Study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure.High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke.High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia, a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.Let’s introduce something about the study of it.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use and high blood pressure. Other research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us. ”For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week. ”Ms Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity. ”She also suggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week.【文章大意】互联网如此有用并且融入我们的生活, 但过度使用它, 会导致多种健康问题。
