BEIJING, March 9—The central government will require an additional three years of use for officials vehicles for ministers(部长) and governors(政府官员) to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported.The new rule has been applied among all Party and government departments nationwide, the Beijing News reported on Tuesday. The new rule had not yet been made public, said Li, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee. Under the old rules, the cars used by minister－level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. These officials will also continue to use the same cars when they take new posts, he added.The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister—or governor－levels should not be allocated cars. The cars possessed by their departments should be used on demand.“It violates the rules for lower－ranking，even county－level，officials to be allocated cars，”Li said.Purchases of vehicles for official use have been heavily investigated, as they account for a large expenditure of public funds every year.A survey on the Web news www. Ifeng. com found 64 percent of respondents believed the new rule will be difficult to obey because it is related to officials' interests.“Local government departments had stopped approvals for requests for such vehicles and had started to limit the number of such cars under the new rules，”Li said，“The future reform of official vehicle use will introduce market systems” Li said.Beijing's standing deputy mayor Ji Lin last week said the municipal government will release the number of vehicles for official use in the capital as early as at the end of this month.Earlier this month, the Ministry of Finance had published a rule regulating the budgets for such vehicles.1. 答案eight/8解析细节题，信息来自原文第一段的“The central government will require an additional three years of use for officials vehicles for ministers(部长) and governors(政府官员) to reduce the costs of purchasing new cars, media have reported. ”和原文第二段的“Under the old rules, the cars used by minister－level officials could be replaced as often as every five years, Li said. ”2. 答案allocation解析词性转化题，答案来自原文第三段第一句“The new rule also reiterated(重申) that officials ranking below minister—or governor －levels should not be allocated cars. ”3. 答案Purpose解析归纳概括题，表格左列概括右列内容。

课后阅读训练四Unit 1Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built, ”they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a betterjob than carpenters of old days.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do a better job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.【语篇概述】本文是议论文。

课后阅读训练十三Unit 4Period 1Ⅰ. 阅读理解AGlobal warming is the process of earth’s atmosphere heating up.Over the last 100 years, the average temperature of earth’s atmosphere has gone up 1 degree Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly the same way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature is already affecting the earth’s climate.Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, and polluting the environment and so on. Many scientists believe that the biggest cause of global warming is new human technologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane, make it hard for heat energy to go into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature produced just the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it. Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising tempera ture can’t be blamed on nature. Ever since the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for daily life. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gases from human activities is throwing nature off balance.The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature has already damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe. As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level to rise.Over the past 100 years, the sea level has risen 6~8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts is beginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused by pollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in the world have experienced unusual droughts.【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了全球变暖的原因及影响。

2018-2019学年度高中英语(人教版)选修六Unit 1 Art reading作业

Unit 1 Art reading作业第一节阅读理解AThe right to vote is one of the most fundamental rights of any democracy. Yet, for too long, too many of our fellow citizens were denied that right simply because of the color of their skin.Fifty years ago this week, President Lyndon Johnson signed a law to change that. The V oting Rights Act broke down legal barriers that stood between millions of African Americans and their constitutional right to cast ballot(投票). It was, and still is, one of the greatest victories in our country’s struggle for civil rights. But it didn’t happen overnight. Countless men and women marched and organized, sat in and stood up, for our most basic rights. For this, they were called agitators(挑拨者) and un-American; they were jailed and beaten. Some were even killed. But in the end, they reaffirmed the idea at the very heart of America: that people who love this country can change it.Our country is a better place because of all those heroes did for us. But as one of those heroes, Congressman John Lewis, reminded us in Selma this past March, “There’s still work to be done.” Fifty years after the V oting Rights Act, there are still too many barriers to vote, and too many people trying to erect（建立）new ones. We’ve seen laws that roll back early voting, force people to jump through hoops to cast a ballot or lead to legitimate (合法的) voters being improperly purged from the rolls. Over the years, we have seen provisions (规定) specifically designed to make it harder for some of our fellow citizens to vote. In a democracy like ours, with a history like ours, that’s a disgrace. That’s why, as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the V oting Rights Act, I’m calling on Congress to pass new legislation to make sure every American has equal access to the polls.It’s why I support the organizers getting folks registered in their communities. And it’s why, no matter what party you support, my message to every American is simple: get out there and vote—not just every four years, but every chance you get, because your elected officials will only heed(留心) your voice if you make your voice heard. The promise that all of us are created equal is written into our founding documents but it’s up to us to make that promise real. Together, let’s do what Americans have always done: Let’s keep marching forward, keep perfecting our union, and keep building a better country for our kids.[From Obama Weekly Address Aug 8th , 2015]1. Many Americans were denied the right to vote simply because _____.A. they were unwilling to go out and voteB. they were agitators and un-AmericanC. too many people tried to erect new barriersD. the color of their skin was different2. What message does President Barack Obama want to convey in this speech?A. The President underlined that all people are created equal.B. The President celebrated the 50th Anniversary of the V oting Rights Act.C. The President reaffirmed the commitment to protecting the right to vote.D. The President called on everyone to seize every chance to elect officials.BThere is one holiday in the year which is completely American, Thanksgiving Day. It is the day when everyone goes back home to spend the day with his family, to have the traditional Thanksgiving dinner of roast turkey, to talk about old times.This is a story of Thanksgiving Day and of one man's efforts, under rather special circumstances, to carry on these traditions.Old Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, Pete had taken this same seat exactly at one o'clock, and each time the same pleasant thing had happened. But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger.Certainly today Pete was not hungry. He had just had a dinner so enormous that he could hardly breathe. The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst. He was so full of soup, oysters, roast turkey, apple pie, ice cream, and a dozen other rich foods that the November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to his face.The meal had been completely unexpected. He had been passing one of the large homes on Fifth Avenue, where there lived two rich old ladies. It seems that it was their custom each Thanksgiving to place a servant at the front entrance with orders to bring in the first hungry looking person that passed and then give him a Thanksgiving dinner of everything he could eat. On this particular Thanksgiving Day, Pete had passed, the servant had brought him in, and, before Pete knew it, he was being served like a king with more food than he could eat.Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move. He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the Old Gentleman coming toward him. He wanted to get upand run, but he was so full of food that he stayed right there. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman had come here, and found Pete on this same bench, and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner. It was a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman, who had no family and lived alone, had tried to continue. The old man was tall and thin and sixty years old. He was aristocratic looking and he always dressed in black. His hair was whiter and thinner than it had been the year before, and he leaned more heavily on his cane than he used to."How do you do!" said the Old Gentleman. "I am glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world."Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly this same thing. It was part of the tradition. Old Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten. This dinner seemed to mean so much to the Old Gentleman."Thank you, sir," said Old Pete at last. "I'll go with you gladly. I'm very hungry sir."Together the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his Thanksgiving dinner. They sat at the same table. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentleman sat quietly and smiled. Under the circumstance, Pete had to eat. It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero. Soup, oysters, roast turkey, pie, he ate everything, although when he entered the restaurant even the smell of more food almost made him sick. At last Pete leaned back with the battle won."Thank you sir," he said, with some effort, " for a fine dinner."They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentleman going south, Pete north.Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, then fell to the sidewalk unconscious. A little later an ambulance came. In the hospital they discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion.An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital. At first they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said,"That nice old gentleman over there-- you wouldn't think that it was a case of starvation. Proud old family, I suppose. He tol d me that he hadn't eaten a thing for three days.”3. This year Old Pete came to the Union Square because ______.A. he was hungry and expected to find some foodB. he had nowhere to go on the Thanksgiving DayC. he wanted to meet the Old Gentleman and check his healthD. i t was a convention for him to accept the Old Gentleman’s dinner4. Why didn’t Old Pete refuse the invitation from the Old Gentleman?A. Because he felt he had more room for food.B. Because he realized he was involved in the tradition.C. Because he felt moved by the Old Gentlemen’s generosity.D. Because h e didn’t dare to tell the old man he had already eaten.5. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. Only the Old Gentlemen observed Thanksgiving Day traditions.B. The two gentlemen were both hospitalized because of hunger.C. The Thanksgiving dinner offered by the Old Gentleman is more than dinner itself.D. The food in the restaurant tastes better than that in large homes on Fifth Avenue.6. What can we learn from the two Thanksgiving Day Gentlemen?A. One man’s meat is another man’s poison.B. They are really gentlemen true to their word.C. They are too vain to express their true feelings.D. The conduct of the two gentlemen is really absurd.CToday, many species of animals and plants are endangered. This means they are in danger of becoming extinct and living on only in the pages of history books. The famous dodo is a classic example of a creature that became extinct. A flightless bird that lived on the island of Mauritius, it was discovered by sailors in 1598 but was hunted to extinction by 1681.Hunting has caused the Bengal tiger and the African elephant to be endangered today but habitat destruction can also lead to extinction. This is equally true for plants. Animals and plants disappear for other reasons too, but the main cause is often a disruption（打乱，破坏）in the natural food chain, whether due to hunting, habitat destruction, or even the introduction of alien species.The natural food chain is the cycle that governs the existence of all life on this planet. It is a carefully balanced cycle and any imbalance that occurs can cause knock-on effects that have serious consequences. At the beginning of the natural food chain are plants which turn sunlight into energy and draw nutrients from the earth. Plants are called producers.After the producers come the consumers. There are three tiers of consumers. First are creatures such as plant-eating animals, fish and insects which feed off the producers. These animals that only eat plants are called herbivores. The second tier of consumers are carnivores - animals that live off other animals. The third tier of consumers eats both other animals and plants. These consumers, including most humans, are called omnivores.After animals and plants die, they become food for other smaller creatures, such as bacteria and some plants, such as fungi. As they feed, these creatures turn the dead bodies back into gases and minerals which are again food for the producers at the beginning of the food chain. And so the cycle continues.All of nature is connected and governed by hundreds of these delicate food chains and if a single plant in the chain cannot survive, then the insects that live off the plant start to die and the animals that eat the insects also start to die.When a food chain is disrupted, the consequences can be extremely serious. One estimate suggests that for each plant species that is lost, up to 30 animals and insects may also die out. One wonders how many species were affected by the extinction of the dodo?Humans can have disastrous effects on food chains. We've already mentioned hunting but now let's look at travel. When people first started to explore the world they took plant and animal species from their home countries and introduced them wherever they went. They didn't realize that by introducing alien species they were disrupting the natural food chains of the areas they discovered. Although there are strict rules in place today controlling the import and export of alien species, some places are still fighting the effects of aliens introduced hundreds of years ago.For example, Gough Island in the South Atlantic Ocean is a breeding ground for albatrosses that have been nesting there for centuries. But in the 19th century, mice from passing ships were brought to the island. Being a species alien to the island, they had no natural predators and have now grown to such a size that they are attacking and killing albatross chicks. If they are allowed to continue, they will wipe out the albatross population.With import laws and people's rising awareness of how humans affect the natural environment, hopefully we can learn to fit better into the natural food chains that govern our world. Otherwise we need to accept that the loss of any more plants and animals could eventually mean our own extinction.7. What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?A. Hunting and habitat destruction lead to extinction.B. Many species of animals and plants are endangered.C. Plants and animals become extinct for the same reasons.D. The main cause of extinction is often a disruption in the natural food chain.8. Which of the following sentence is TRUE according to the passage?A. Strict rules alone can remove the bad effects of alien species.B. Plants, herbivores and carnivores are the three tiers of consumers.C. If a bird becomes extinct, the relevant food chain will be disrupted.D. Animals and plants become extinct because alien species are imported.9. By mentioning the mice in Gough Island, the author intends to highlight ______.A. mice worldwide are growing all the timeB. being aliens, they had no natural predatorsC. some places are still fighting the effects of aliensD. traveling can have disastrous effects on food chains10. What is the best title of the passage?A. Survival of the fittest.B. Endangered animals and plants.C. How to protect the natural environment.D. The link between food chains and extinction.DWhat will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, public colleges, and land-grant schools in the timeline of America.In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of change ever, with several multitrillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million, with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollab le” in many parts of the world.The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels, particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainableenvironment, and longer life spans that most Americans share.“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. … We are part of the problem.”Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said, are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State — which he calls the “new American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to ta ke risks.”Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by 500 percent.Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells us we have to be.” Research universities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He discussed, for example, the school’s distance-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, wh ich helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning technologies.He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their later degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.11. The fourth wave of change in America’s higher educati on refers to _______.A. public collegesB. land-grant schoolsC. research universitiesD. initial higher education12. Which is NOT part of the American dream most people share?A. People enjoy a quality life.B. People live longer and longer.C. The freedom to move around.D. An environment that is sustainable.13. Which is an initiative adopted by Crow at Arizona State University?A. Restructuring the teachers College.B. Launching the School of Life Sciences.C. Ignoring the linkages between disciplines.D. Enrolling more students from poor families.14. Which one is similar to the underlined word “architect” in meaning?A. The author of the guidebook is an architect by profession.B. If you want to refurnish the house, consult the architect.C. Deng Xiaoping is one of the architects of the PRC.D. Tom is considered one of the best landscape architect here.15. With the distance-learning program, Arizona State University is able to ______.A. enroll 40% of its students onlineB. keep costs down without a loss of qualityC. provide an even greater number of coursesD. attract the most gifted students all over the world第二节任务型阅读请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入恰当的单词。

Unit 4 Global warming reading课时作业一、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。

AFor centuries, the body's blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold－blooded killer. For example, the police are searching for a cold－blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone's life as nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet”has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organizations will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.The expression “give someone the cold shoulder”probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold－hearted. Now a cold－hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold－hearted men or cold－hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold”means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise—he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.1. There are ________ expressions relaed to cold that are mentioned in the passage.A. 3B. 4C. 6D. 7答案 C解析细节理解题。

课后阅读训练十七Unit 5Period 1Ⅰ. 阅读理解ADuke Ellington(1899—1974)may be America’s greatestcomposer. He led an orchestra, played the piano and composedover 2, 000 pieces of music.Duke began his life as Edward Kennedy Ellington in Washington, D. C. He was nicknamed by a classmate who admired him. This nickname was proper for Duke because of his elegant and proud manners. Even as a child, Duke had fans.Duke’s parents got him in piano lesso ns when he was in primary school. Duke was very afraid of his lessons and preferred to play baseball instead. He grew bored with practising and gave up his lessons. Duke didn’t become interested in learning the piano again until he was a teenager.Duke often joked that he learned to play the piano to attract girls. While washing dishes for his summer job, Duke met a waiter who invitedhim to go and see ragtime(an early form of jazz)pianist, Harvey Brooks. Brooks played ragtime in a way that did not follow the rules of classical piano music—he had freedom to change the rules and express himself more freely. Duke discovered that he wanted to make his own music too and then he taught himself how to play the piano like Harvey Brooks. He practised until his fingers could fly and even arranged melodies as he played.Soon Duke began playing for his high school dances. When he was 19, he started playing at parties and dance halls.Duke then moved to New York. There he played in different jazz clubs, saloons and dance halls. Soon he was leading his own band, the Washingtonians at the Kentucky Club, located in Times Square.In 1927, after giving a performance at the Cotton Club, he began to produce sophisticated(高水平的)arrangements of his own. He toured the world with his orchestra and composed thousands of songs. Duke led his orchestra until his death.【语篇概述】本文主要讲的是美国著名作曲家Duke Ellington(艾灵顿公爵)的生平。

Unit 1 Art reading课时作业阅读理解A(2017·全国卷Ⅱ)When a leafy plant is under attack，it doesn't sit quietly. Back in 1983，two scientists，Jack Schultz and Ian Baldwin，reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds，VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It's a plant's way of crying out.But is anyone listening？Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers. Once they arrive, the_tables_are_turned.The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study，it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant，but the neighbors, relatively speaking ，stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other? Scientists don't know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So information was exchanged, but it wasn't a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There's a whole lot going on.语篇解读：研究发现，植物受到昆虫攻击时，会通过两种方式实施自我保护：第一种是释放一种化学物质，让周围的邻居接收后减少伤害；第二种是产生一种香味引来袭击者的天敌消灭袭击者。

“The extent of Arctic ice is important to Arctic people,whose lands are being affected by increased coastal erosion②,” NOAA said in a statement.“Conversely③,the disappearance of ice creates economic opportunities,including the opening of oil fields and new shipping routes”.
It also affects global weather patterns. The study was conducted by scientists at NOAA,the University of Washington,and the North Carolina Institute for Climate Studies.

15 years because of global warming. 2.When will the first“ice-free” Arctic summer occur according to
As the climate changes,the Arctic is warming more than twice as fast as the rest of the planet. Arctic air temperatures were about 3.4 degrees above average in 2019,and were the secondwarmest since records began in 1900. Scientists also said the results of the study indicate that there is room for improvement in sea-ice models—and that the ice may disappear even more quickly than current models suggest. “Climate models may be collectively underestimating the rate of change,” the authors write in the study.

课时巩固提升Global warming happens when greenhouse gases trap heatand light from the sun in the earth’s atmosphere, which increasesthe temperature. This is like when heat is trapped in a car. On a hot day, the car gets hotter when it is out in the parking lot. This is because the heat and light from the sun can get into the car by going through the windows, but it can’t get back out. This is what the greenhouse effect does to the earth. The heat and light can get through the atmosphere, but it can’t get out. As a result, the temperature rises.Sometimes the temperature can change in a way that helps us. The greenhouse effect makes the earth suitable for people to live on. Without it, the earth would be freezing, or it would be burning hot. It would be freezing at night because we would not get the sun’s heat and light. During the day, especially during the summer, it would be burning because the sun would be up with no atmosphere to filter(过滤)it, so people, plants, and animals would be exposed to all the light and heat.Although the greenhouse effect makes the earth able to have people living on it, if there are too many gases, the earth can get unusually warmer, and many plants, animals and people will die. Plantswould die because they would not be able to take the heat. This would cause us to have less food to eat, and it would also limit the food that animals have. With less food for the animals that we need to survive we would even have less food. Gradually, people, plants, and animals would all die of hunger.People are doing many things to try to stop global warming. One thing is carpooling-driving with someone to a place that you are both going to. Another thing is being more careful about leaving electrical devices turning on. Now, more people are even riding buses or bikes to lower the amount of greenhouse gases in the air. Although adults do many things to help stop global warming, kids can do just as much.【语篇概述】本文是一篇说明文。

2018-2019人教新目标高中英语选修六课后阅读训练：四 Unit 1 Period 4 Word版含答案

课后阅读训练四Unit 1Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built, ” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old days.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do abetter job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.【语篇概述】本文是议论文。

BA few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a mile-long advertisement into space. To advertising agencies(机构), it would have been “a dream come true”. However, advertising standar dsagencies finally decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead with their plans and they were forced to give them up.Space may indeed be the final place for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, and in newspapers and magazines, there is a whole “other world”of advertising messages for our attention. There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos(商标)we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets?Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of(意识到的)these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t work. Take “product placement”for example. You are in a cinema, watching the latest Hollywood movie. Look carefully at the make of the car your favorite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is? Chances are, you can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in the film.So, whether Space Marketing finally succeeds in sending ads into space or not is perhaps less important than it might seem. This would not change a thing. Our everyday lives are already strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not.【语篇概述】我们的生活中出现了大量的广告, 本文介绍了一家叫Space Marketing的公司提出把一个一英里长的广告送到太空的想法。
