Unit 3 Inventors and inventions李仕才一、阅读理解A new “smart bin” could mean the end of environment-conscious families spending hours sorting tins, cartons, bottles, and cardboard for recycling.The invention, which can help sort rubbish into recycling categories without needing people to operate. It is being trialed in Poland and is set to go on sale in UK within a few years.The bin, designed by start-up company Bin.E, recognizes different type of waste via a system positioned inside the bin which uses sensors, image recognition and artificial intelligence. Once waste is placed inside, the camera and sensor identify its type and place it in one of the smaller bins. Then it compresses the waste so it occupies less space.It is thought that the bin could be stocked by department stores such as John Lewis, which said it is introducing more new hi-tech recycling bins. Matt Thomas, a buyer at John Lewis, gave us the reason, “We’ve recently seen a jump in specialist bins sales, with a 25 percent increase in the last few months alone. We have noticed our customers are becoming more and more focused on sustainability. In response to this demand, we are really excited to introduce a smart bin this autumn/winterseason-designed to make recycling more efficient and functional for the everyday home."Bin. E’s official release on the market will take place in 2018. However, at first only a larger version designed for offices will be available. The office bin will sell at £ 430 while customers will need to pay a £ 107 subscript ion fee for an accompanying smartphone app, which hooks them up with collection services. A spokesman at Bin. E said that home version of the bin will be cheaper and will not include a monthly payment.They added: “After the office version, we plan to crea te an outdoor version and later the home version. We decided to go for the outdoor version for public areas first because it is more difficult to organize an efficient waste segregating system than in our homes.”1.What do we know about about a new “smart bin” from the first paragraph?A.

In the office.【文章大意】本文介绍了一款可以智能分类垃圾的“智能垃圾箱”。

Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解AEarly one morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run around the needle without any problems.Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein. Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing Jane Eyre.To know the value of dreams, you have to understand what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious (无意识的), but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day. It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed. It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake. However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to us”．篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。

Can exercise during childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later? Exercise early in life seems to have lifelong benefits for the brain，in rats at least.“This is an animal study，but it shows that physical activity at a young age is very important—not just for physical development，but for the whole lifelong track of cognitive(认知的)development during ageing，”says Martin Wojtowicz of the University of Toronto，Canada. “In humans，it may delay the appearance of Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默病)，possibly to the point of preventing it.”Wojtowicz's team divided 80 young male rats into two equal groups，and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks.Around four months later—when the rats had reached middle age—the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box.When placed in the box，they froze with fear.Two weeks later，the team tested the rats in three situations：exactly the same box in the same room，the same box with the room arranged differently，and a completely different box in a different room.The rats without access to a running wheel when they were young now froze the same percentage of times in each of these situations，suggesting they couldn't remember which one was dangerous.But those that had been able to run in their youth froze 40 to 50 percent less in both changed box settings.“The results suggest the amount of physical activity when we're young，at least for rats，has influence on the brain and cognitive health—in the form of better memories—when we're older，” says Arthur Kramer of Northeastern University in Boston，who has found that，in humans，exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells.1．The study shows that ________.A．physical activity is important for physical healthB．using the running wheels is of benefit to the rats' growthC．physical activity can prevent humans' Alzheimer's diseaseD．the more exercise a rat has when young，the better memory it will possess when older2．How are Paragraph 3 and 4 mainly developed?A．By analyzing causes.B．By giving an example.C．By describing the process.D．By showing differences.3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Exercise. B．Development.C．Benefit. D．Study.4．What is the author's attitude towards the animal study?A．Negative. B．Objective.C．Critical. D．Doubtful.【解题导语】本文为说明文，介绍了一项科学研究，从而得出早期锻炼对大脑终身有好处的结论。

(2018·合肥高三调研性检测)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 do wn on one of the empty seats. I sensed a funny smell. It wasn’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。

Nowadays a third of primary schoolchildren in China are suffering from psychological ill-health as a result of classroom stress and parental pressure, according to a study published on Tuesday.The problem is so bad that urgent measures are needed, warns the study, led by British and Chinese researchers.The investigation surveyed 2, 191 pupils aged 9 to 12 in nine schools in urban and rural Zhejiang, a relatively prosperous coastal province in eastern China.Eighty-one percent of the youngsters said they worried “a lot” about exams, 63 percent feared being punished by their teachers, 44 percent had been physically bullied at least sometimes—with boys likelier to be victims than girls—and 73 percent had been physically punished by their parents.Most of the children complained they struggled to cope with the amount of homework they were assigned.Over one-third reported headaches or abdominal pains—psychosomatic symptoms of stress—at least once a week. The most stressed children reported incidence of aches or pains of four times a week.The investigation, led by Therese Hesketh, a professor at University College London (UCL) Centre for International Health and Development, pointed the finger at extreme compet itiveness in China’s education system, from the onset of primary school.“The competitive and punitive educational environment leads to high levels of stress and psychosomatic symptoms, ” the authors say.“Measures to reduce unnecessary stress on childre n in schools should be introduced urgently. ”The paper appears in Archives of Disease in Childhood, a peer-reviewed journal of the British Medical Association (BMA).The “urban” setting for the study was Hangzhou, the provincial capital of Zhejiang, whil e the “rural” setting was a poor county in Quzhou prefecture, in the west of the province.The study highlights some of the complexities that, it says, explain the demands for academic excellence and intolerance of failure.One factor is the country’s dr amatic rise in prosperity, which has created “previously unheard-of possibilities for upward mobility” and in turn stoked pressures on children to do well at school.Other reasons are China’s one-child policy and the Confucian traditions of respect for parents and elders, filial piety, obedience and discipline.“The aspirations of many parents, who had limited educational opportunities themselves are now invested in their only children, ” it says.Previous studies on school-related stress and its impact on health are few and generally come from Scandinavia.A 2008 assessment among 10-to 13-year-old in Sweden found that 21 percent of boys and 30 percent of girls experienced headache, and 17 percent of boys and 28 percent of girls experienced abdominal pain at least once per week.【文章大意】本文是一篇报告。

If a city wants to hold the Olympics，it must submit a proposal to the IOC.After all proposals have been submitted，the IOC votes.If no city with the fewest votes is eliminated(淘汰)，the voting continues，until a majority winner is determined.Typically，the Games are awarded several years in advance，allowing the winning city time to prepare for the Games.In selecting the site of the Olympic Games，the IOC considers a number of factors，and chiefly among them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively.The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games.For instance，Tokyo，the host of the 1964 Summer Games，and Beijing，that of the 2008 Games，were chosen in part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia.Because of the growing importance of television worldwide，the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city's time zone.Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada，for example，American television networks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they can broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.Once the Games have been awarded，it is the duty of the local organizing committee—not the IOC or the NOC of the host city's country to provide them with money.This is often done with a part of the Olympic television revenues(收入)，and corporate sponsorships，tickets sales，and other smaller revenue sources.In many cases there is also direct government support.Although many cities have gained amounts of money by hosting the Games，the Olympics can be financially risky.If the financial gains from the Games are less than expected，the city will be left with large debts.1．________ will be determined to host the Olympic Games by the IOC.A．A city that submits a proposalB．A majority winner in votingC．A city that has perfect time zoneD．One that hasn't hosted the Games2．If the Games take place in Canada，American television networks ________.A．will not pay for the Canadian television networksB．will be forbidden to broadcast live sporting eventsC．can't broadcast popular events live in the best viewing hoursD．are willing to pay much higher amounts for television rights3．According to the last paragraph，which following statement is true?A．The host city must be left with large debts.B．There is no financial risk in hosting the Olympic Games.C．The city may gain a lot of money.D．It is impossible that the host city couldn't make money.4．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Winner or loserB．Applying for host for the OlympicsC．How to host the Olympic GamesD．The Olympic Games【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了申办奥运会的流程。

儿子在暑期辛苦挣钱，买了他喜爱的赛车；在“我”生日时，他送给了“我”一把漂亮的吉他。
后来“我”才知道，他用卖掉了心爱的赛车的钱给“我”买了这把吉他。
1．himself 根据本句的主语“He”可知，此处应用he的反身代词，指他整个夏天都在努力工作，以赚取足够的钱给自己买一辆赛车。
故填himself。
2．that 句意：我是如此爱我的儿子，以至于我给他买了一副太阳镜和一副手套。
so ...that ...为固定结构，意为“如此……以至于”。
故填that。
3．of 句意：他梦想参加比赛并且获胜。
dream of doing sth.为固定搭配，意为“梦想做某事”。
4．a 根据空格后的“guitar”可知，“我”在桌子上发现了一把漂亮的吉他；此处泛指“一把吉他”。
故填a。
5．saying 此处指在吉他旁边有一张卡片，上面写着“祝漂亮的妈妈生日快乐”；card 和say之间为主动关系，所以用现在分词形式。
故填saying。
6．joked 根据该句中的“remembered”可知，该句陈述的是过去的事情，应用一般过去时。
故填joked。
7．had forgotten 根据该句中的“but my son remembered”可知，“我”的儿子记得这件事情；这件事情应是在“我”儿子想起之前“我”已经忘记了，故用过去完成时。
故填had forgotten。
8．seriously 根据空格前的动词“took”可知，空格处修饰该动词，故用副词seriously，此外take sth.seriously为固定搭配。
9．how 空格处引导宾语从句，指当“我”想知道儿子是怎样买到这把昂贵的吉他的时候。
故用how引导该宾语从句。
10．to get 儿子卖掉了他的赛车，给“我”买了这把吉他。
空格处作目的状语，故用动词不定式。
故填to get。
distinguish vi.& vt.显示……的差别；使……有所不同；辨别(1)distinguish between...and...区分/辨别……和……distinguish...from...使……有别于……，使……具有区别于……的特征distinguish oneself(as...)(作为……)表现突出(2)distinguished adj.卓越的，著名的，杰出的be distinguished for...因……而出名(3)distinguishable adj.易分辨的，能区分的①(教材原句)Here was a chance for me to distinguish myself by inventing something merciful that would catch snakes but not harm them.这回我有机会来表现一下自己，我要发明某种仁慈的东西，既可以把蛇抓到而又不会伤害到它们。

②(2016·浙江卷)However ，a plan can_bear (bear) no fruit without being actually carried out.然而，一项不实施的计划是没有结果的。
(1)bear 作为动词，作“生产，生育”讲时，有两种过去分词形式：borne 指“生育，生产”，而born 指“出生”。
如后跟by sb.时，仍用borne 这个形式。
(2)bear 作“忍受”讲时，后可跟v .－ing 或不定式作宾语，且多与can ，could 连用。
③She couldn’t bear his visiting (visit) her together with a big white bear.Worse still ，the bear bore (bear) a baby bear before long.她不能忍受他和一头大白熊一起来拜访她。
