Three lucky winners will win a master class with two top Telegraphtravel writers before travelling the world with Saga on one of three holidays of great comfort and pleasure. To enter, all you need to do is tell us something mysterious and wonderful about the world of travel—a favorite memory, a humorous tale, an unforgettable occasion or a sight worth writing about.What we are looking forYou must be able to read not only those signs that help you find your way around but the ones that tell you how the locals tick. You must, in the words of Paul Theroux, an American travel writer, “descibe exactly what you see and give it life with your imgaination”.In this competition, you can do that in anything from 150 words to 500, but they should be your words, and fresh ones. We do expect you not to hide the truth or the facts about your experience. Beyond that, you can make the most of the freedom travel writing gives you.You’ll be editor as well as writer, so ensure those eyes are equally fresh when you check and recheck what you’ve written. We will make allowances for the occasional mistake, such as you have “fell” into a river. But we won’t put up with mistakes every few lines.Terms & conditionsCompetitors must be aged 50 years or older.The judging process is divided into two stages: entries will be hosted on the website for one month. The top 20 articles will then be selected by public vote. The top three winners will be chosen by three judges.The closing date for entries is August 15.1.What does the prize for winners include?A. a chance to learn from excellent writers.B. the publication of their works.C. three wonderful holidays.D.an opportunity to work in the Telegraph.2.Who will select the final winners?A. the public.B. Paul TherouxC. two top Telegraph travel writersD. three chosen judges.3.What type of writing is this text ?A. An essayB.A travel guideC.A writing guideD. An announcementⅡ.七选五阅读Violent Games:Fun or Harmful?If you play lots of video games,you’ve probably blown a zombie(僵尸) into tiny bits. 1 Many adults worry that playing such games could make children act violently in real life.Is that true?The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) says that violence in any kind of media—from TV to music to video games—presents a risk to kids’ health.A number of studies have shown a link between video games and aggression,including one published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014,which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviours. 2But not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out.Another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸发) in a game. 3 People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.And here’s an even stranger fact:When violent video games are released,people carry out fewer violent crimes!Why? 4 Steve Levitt,coauthor of the book Freakonomics,said,“If you can make video games fun enough,then kids will stop doing ever ything else.They’ll stop watching TV,and they’ll stop going out and creating violent disorder on the street.”What do you think? 5A.One possible explanation:potential criminals are at home playing the new game.B.Then,before playing the game,some peopl e received training and others didn’t.C.More than 3,000 kids answered survey questions during a two-year period.D.For example,thinking it’s OK to hit someone you don’t like.E.Have you ever played any violent video games?F.Do violent video games cause bad behaviour?G.Some games even pile up dead bodies.Ⅲ.短文改错(2016·南昌二模)Everyone of us are thinking about the future.I have decided to become a middle school teacher.Does it sound surprised?I have had this dream when I was a child.I love children.I don’t think to deal with them all years round is just wasting time.On the contrary,to me it means happiness.Like we all can see,teachers are badly needed in our country,and not many of us want to become teachers.One of the main reasons of this is teachers work too hard but get too little.In spite of that,I’m determining to devote all my life into the cause of education.考点规范练(必修3 Unit 4)【短文语法填空】1.If2.owns3.a4.what5.easier6.in 7.appealing 8.number 9.it 10.being cheatedⅠ.A【解题导语】本文为说明文。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars***阅读理解。
May Day, the first day of May, is celebrated as a spring festival in many countries. It marks the approach of summer.The English developed their May Day festival from the Roman festival called Floralia. In the festival of Floralia, the Romans gathered flowers to honor the goddess of spring, Flora. In the Middle Ages, May Day became the favorite holiday of many English villages. People gathered flowers to decorate their homes and churches, sang spring songs and chose a king and a queen of May. Villagers danced around a tall pole fixed upright in the ground, called a maypole, each holding the end of a ribbon attached to the top of the pole. They tied the ribbons around the pole until it was covered with bright colors. They collected dew(露水)on May Day morning and washed their faces with it because they believed that the dew on the day had the magic power to regain youth.Nowadays in Britain people no longer attach great importance to the day, but in some towns and villages people still celebrate it by choosing the May Queen and dancing around the maypole. May Queen is a girl selected as the most beautiful girl on May Day. She is usually crowned with flowers and often driven in procession through the street. In the United States, the day has never been celebrated with the same enthusiasm as in Britain. But in many American towns and cities, children celebrate the day with dancing and singing. They often gather flowers in handmade paper baskets and hang them on the doorknobs of the homes of their friends’ and neighbor s’ on May Day morning. At May Day parties, children select May Queen, dance around themaypole, and sing May Day songs.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

A(2017·浙江卷)FLORENCE, Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt. The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a c aregiver to Italian kids and elderly, but in order to stay she’s had to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad.Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits, or in some cases, citizenship.Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs, such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合). Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation, seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society.Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants, and some terms are even tougher. The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures.Italy, which has a much weaker tradition of immigration, has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years. In 1990, immigrants numbered some 1.14 million out of Italy’s then 56.7 million people, or about 2 percent. At the start of this year, foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4.56 million of a total population of 60.6 million, or 7.5 percent, with immigrants’ children accounting for an ever larger percentage of births in Italy.Cojochru, the Moldovan caregiver, hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy; they live with her sister in Moldova, where salaries are among the lowest in Europe. She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration.Italians always "see me as a foreigner,"an outsider, even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently, she said.1. Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A. To continue to stay in Italy.B. To teach her children Italian.C. To find a better job in Italy.D. To better mix with the Italians.2. Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________.A. reduce Italy’s population quicklyB. cause conflicts among peopleC. lead to financial difficultiesD. put pressure on schools3. What do we know about Cojochru?A. She lives with her sister now in Italy.B. She enjoys learning the Italian language.C. She speaks Italian well enough for her job.D. She wishes to go back to her home country.B(2017届山西省太原市高三第三次模拟)Dear Parents:I’m delighted that you are considering the Bri tish International School for your children’s education.

As team captain Hui Ruoqi hit a powerful spike to seal it 19-25, 25-17, 25-22, 25-23 on Sunday morning in Rio, applause and cheers almost blew off the roof of Maracanazinho. China’s news program Xinwen Lianbo spent seven of 30 minutes reliving the story. This is their third Olympic gold medal the Chinese women’s volleyball team has won since the 1980s.In Rio, the Chinese women’s volleyball team was assigned to the so-called group of death and faced several strong competitors. But the team never gave up. When the team lost its Rio Olympic opener to the Netherlands on Aug 6, Lang Ping urged her players to support one another through the ups and downs. When China lost to Serbia and the United States, finishing fourth to get a narrow escape from Group B and had to face host Brazil in the quarters, Lang Ping helped her players grow from each defeat on the pressure-packed Olympic stage.Lang Ping, nicknamed “Iron Hammer”, is a national heroine as well as a legend in world sports. She made histories in coaching many clubs and national teams totop level. She resigned due to health reasons in 1998. However, when the Chinese women’s volleyball faced difficulties after the Beijing Olympics, the 52-year-old lady came back in 2013 and took the coaching position. She dug out a group of young talents including Rio 2016 MVP Zhu Ting to help seasoned players Hui Ruoqi and Xu Yunli. But more importantly, she passed on the spirit to them.Among all the Chinese sports teams, the women’s volleyball remain the most special one, whose victories fueled Chinese confidence in the 1980s and still represent the best things that sports can offer to the Chinese: perseverance, courage and unity.8.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. The game against Serbia attracted more Chinese audience than Lunar New Year Gala.B. C hina’s Xinwen Lianbo reported the team’s victory for 30 minutes.C. The roof of Maracanazinho was blown off by the excited audience.D. The Chinese women’s volleyball team was beaten by Serbia.9.It can be inferred from the text that ________.A. the team beat the Netherlands on Aug 6B. Lang resigned from a club due to health problems in 2013C. Lang brought the Chinese women’s volleyball back to the Olympic gloryD. after the Rio Olympic opener, the team experienced non-stop victories10.Who does the unde rline word “she” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Zhu Ting.B. Hui Ruoqi.C. Xu Yunli.D. Lang Ping.11.What make the Chinese women’s volleyball team so special?A. The coach and strong competitors.B. Some young talents and seasoned players.C. Each defeat and pressure.D. The teams’ success and spirits.DYou are never really alone in science, at least not at first. Most academic careers start with a PhD, which involves work closely with a supervisor, or an adviser. Nonethe less it’s worth thinking about whether you’ll join a team of thousands or, on the contrary, work hard for a temporary alliance of two.Join a large team, and you might play a part in something as big as landing a science laboratory on Mars. But you’ll have to work exceptionally hard to make your contribution familiar to future employers.Working on your own or with a small group puts you in control and makes it easier for future employers to see your accomplishments. It’s slightly more dangerous —there’s n o one to blame when things go wrong —but it’s an exciting way to go if you can.When I started my PhD in 2005, my supervisor set me to work with a small, informal team. I still spend about half my time working with some of the same people on rather different projects. The team brings help in the form of resources and friendly criticism.The field you choose determines whether this mode of working will be suitable. In experimental particle physics, for instance, it’s almost essential to work in a big group. Astronomy, the field in which I work, finds itself in an in-between state: historically, most work was accomplished by individuals or small groups, but that situation is changing. As telescopes become larger and more complex, they require larger groups of engineers and scientists to build them, run them and interpret their results. The Planck surveyor satellite, for instance, lists around 200 authors on its early papers.Individuals or small groups can still work on big things. Every day I take my own deci sions about what I’ll do next —sometimes that’s scary, but more often it’s enormous fun. If you’re doing some research, and going "small" is an option, I’d recommend it.12.Nowadays astronomy needs more people because .A.it is a tradition from the pastB. the aim of astronomy has changedC. advanced equipment is usedD. more people are interested in it13.Which of the following is the advantage of working on your own?A. Future employers are more likely to appreciate your work.B. You can work with different people on different projects.C. It is more enjoyable and you can do your research more efficiently.D. It’s easier for you to obtain accomplishments in a shorter time.14.Why do some people prefer to join a large team?A. Because the team can bring them more help.B. Because they have the chance to join a large project.C. Because they can get friendly criticism from their colleagues.D. Because their supervisors will share their experience with them.15.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. The importance of cooperationB. Be cautious in science!C. The advantage of group workD. Large team or small group? 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才***阅读理解。
I told my friend Graham that I often cycle two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, “You mean fortunately.” He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to complain as I approachedit but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationary exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “The character cannot be developed with ease. Only through experiences of suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents and difficulties. Some are of our making but many are no fault of our own. While we cannot choose adversity, we can choose our attitude towards it.Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aviators in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an inspiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, and you’ll never use crutches or a stick, and then have a go at everything. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, neverlet them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible.”The biographies of great people are full of examples of how they took steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread(思路) is that they did not become depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won. Nevertheless, there is still the problem of how you change your attitude towards adversity.【解题导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才一、阅读理解。
Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little "dead" inside because you’re dropping "you".So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
