Arthur's father was an alcoholic and the family was always short of money. At school, Arthur developed a strong interest in the books written by sir Walter Scottand Edgar Allan Poe. Conan Doyle studied at Edinburgh University and helped to fund his course by working as a surgeon on Hope, a 400 ton whaler on a seven month voyage to the Arctic. The following year he worked on Mayumba, a passenger ship bound for West Africa. On this voyage Conan Doyle nearly died of typhoid.On his return, Conan Doyle set up as a doctor in Southsea, a suburb of Porthmouth. With very few patients, Conan Doyle attempted to make money by writing detective stories. His main character, Sherlock Holmes, was based on Dr. Joseph Bell, a surgeon and criminal psychologist, who lectured at Edinburgh Infirmary.In 1891 Conan Doyle published six Sherlock Holmes stories in the Strand Magazine. The following year he was paid £1,000 for a whole series on Sherlock Holmes. Conan Doyle really wanted to write historical novels like his hero, Sir Walter Scott, and in 1893 decided to kill off Sherlock Holmes in the story, The Final Problem. However, after coming under considerable pressure from his fans, he returned to write his best known detective story, The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902).Conan Doyle served as a doctor in the Boer War (1899-1902) and wrote The War in South Africa (1902), where he attempted to justify Britain's actions during the war.On 2nd September, 1914, soon after the start of the First World War, the Liberal politician, Charles Masterman, the head of the War Propaganda, organised a secret meeting of Britain's leading writers. to discuss ways of best promoting Britain's interests during the war.

Several of the men who attending the meeting agreed to write pamphlets and books that would promote the government's view of the situation.Although fifty-five when the war Conan Doyle also joined the Crowborough Company of the Sixth Royal Sussex Volunteer Regiment and served as a private throughout the war. His son, Kingsley Conan Doyle, joined the British Army and was wounded at the Somme. He died in October, 1917, after developing pneumonia.After the war Conan Doyle wrote several books on spiritualism including The New Revelation (1918) and The History of Spiritualism (1926).

Unit 2 Detective stories Section 1 Warming Up & ReadinⅠ.阅读理解The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media，to a great extent，gives us our sense of reality.Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty，fairness，accuracy and accountability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great responsibility.The media is powerful in the political system，having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image.Professional journalists do have a code of ethics(道德标准)．Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report，which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between “ethics of co nviction”and “ethics of responsibility”．According to the latter (ethics of responsibility)，journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting，and the impact it will have on society.The former，on the other hand，asks journalists to tell the truth，regardless of the consequences.According to Weber，both ideas of ethics should be considered.Without doubt，information is power，and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations，newspapers，magazines，and websites are，largely，owned and controlled by profitmaking businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted at times.It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers，readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by making our views known.【语篇解读】媒体对公众的价值观，对整个社会有着很大的影响，因此媒体应肩负起相应的责任。

单元综合测评(二)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)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。
A(2016·东北三校二模)Can You Imagine How Hard It Would Be To Read?Sentences like-this？Every one of us gets so used to punctuation marks that not many of us give them a second thought. Actually, the ancient Greeks wrote this way. The lack of punctuation marks probably didn't bother good readers, though. As they read, they just put pauses where they fit best. Also at this time, sentences switched directions. A sentence read from left to right. The next one read right to left, and then left to right again, etc. The ancient Romans sometimes punctuated like this: They·put·something·that·can·separate·words·in·a·sentence. The word punctuation actually comes from this idea and the Latin word puncture, which means a dot.When the 5th century arrived, there were just two punctuation marks: spaces and points. The spaces separated words while the points showed pauses in reading. Then in the 13th century, a printer named Aldus Manutius tried to standardize punctuation. He always used a period for a complete stop at the end of a sentence. He used a slash (/) to indicate a short pause. Over time, that slash was shortened and curled, and it became the modern comma (逗号)．Since that time, other marks have enlarged the punctuation family. The exclamation mark (感叹号) comes from the Latin word io.It means “exclamation of joy”. The question mark originally started out as the Latin word questio, meaning question. Eventually, scholars put it at the end of a sentence to show a question.Punctuation even keeps changing nowadays. New marks are coming into existence, and old punctuation marks are used in new ways. Take for example the “interrobang”. This 1962 invention combines the question mark and exclamation mark for times when writers want both. For example, “She did what！？” or “How much did you pay for that dress！？” Obviously, the interrobang is not widely used or recognized yet, but its invention shows that English is not yet finished with its punctuation.【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

The books are all popular with children.In Lotsa De Casha, Madonna tells a story of a man. He is very rich but he is not happy. He loses his money but finds a friend. At the end of the book, Madonna says, “Money can’t buy happiness. When you learn to share, you will find it. ” That is an important lesson from the 46-year-old woman. She is not only a pop star but also a mother. She has lovely children and she loves them a lot. Her family makes her happy. That is why she likes to write children’s books.49.

Which one is the best title of the passage?A. Love me, love my childrenB. Learn to make more moneyC. How to be a super womanD. Money can’t buy happiness2、That old saying “Never say never” came to mind when I read that Harper Lee, the author of the beloved, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, has a new book coming out in July, 2015—55 years after Mockingbird was published! The very private Ms. Lee had never followed up her highly praised first book, with a second novel. Instead, she’s following it up with a first novel. Confused? So was I! Allow me to explain.Go Set a Watchman, was actually written before that classic volume. In the mid-1950s, Lee had completed Watchman, which features Scout Finch as a young woman from Alabama living in New York. The story follows Scout as she returns to visit her father, Atticus, the lawyer who fought racial injustice in Mockingbird.But as Lee herself put it in a recent announcement through her publisher, “my editor, who was taken by the flashback (倒叙) to Scout’s childhood, persuaded me to write a novel from the point of view of the young Scout. I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. ” That book was, of course, To Kill a Mockingbird, and after it was released to great praise, Lee never returned to Go Set a Watchman. In fact, that earlier work was considered lost until Lee’s lawyer found a manuscript (手稿) of it.“After much thought and hesitation I considered it worthy of publication. ” said Lee. “I am amazed that this will now be published after all these years. ” So the book that gave birth to To Kill a Mockingbird will now serve as its sequel (续集).It’s safe to say that, decades after the publication of Mockingbird, millions of readers who were so touched by Ms. Lee’s second novel will be counting the days until the release of her first one.1.

In a recent Hollyhood comedy (喜剧), that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leadsa typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing— he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearance. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic (经典).The film is 100% American.

He was born in 1452 in the town of Vinci. As a boy, Leonardo showed a great interest in drawing, sculpting and observing nature.However, because Leonardo was born to parents who were not married to each other, he was barred from some studies and professions. He trained as an artist after moving to Florence with his father in the 1460s. It was an exciting time to be in Florence, one of the cultural capitals of Europe. Leonardo trained with one of the city’s very successful artists, Andrea del Verrocchio. He was a painter, sculptor and gold worker. Verrocchio told his students that they needed to understand the body’s bones and muscles when drawing people.Leonardo took the teacher’s advice very seriously. He spent several periods of his life studying the human body by taking apart and examining dead bodies. While training as an artist, Leonardo also learned about and improved on relatively new painting methods at the time. One was the use of perspective (透视) to show depth.A method called “sfumato” helped to create a cloudy effect to suggest distance. “Chiaroscuro” is a method using light and shade as a painterly effect.Leonardo’s first known portrait now hangs in the N ational Gallery in Washington, D. C. He made this painting of a young woman named Ginevra de’ Benci around 1474. The woman has a pale face with dark hair. In the distance, Leonardo painted the Italian countryside.He soon received attention for his extraordinary artistic skills. Around 1475 he was asked to draw an angel in Verrocchio’s painting “Baptism of Christ.” One story says that when Verrocchio saw Leonardo’s addition to the painting, he was so amazed by his student’s skill that he said he would never paint again.54.

Verrocchio felt shame at his own work.B. Verrocchio thought Leonardo’s work terrible.C. Verrocchio thought highly of Leonardo’s work.D. Verrocchio didn’t believe Leonardo could paint well.56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Leonardo was prevented from some studies because of his parents.B. Leonardo thought his teacher’s advice was unreasonable.C. “Sfumato” is a method to show depth by using light and shade.D. “Baptism of Christ” made Leonardo known across the world.5、Chinese students’ extremely neat handwritten compositions have aroused a heated debate among Internet users since photos of the compositions and a teacher’s picky remarks were published on Daily Mail Online.“Can you believe this essay is handwritten?” Daily Mail Online asked.The website reported on the compositions that looked like they had been machine printed and on the teacher’s remarks at Hengshui High School in North China’s Hebei Province, one of China’s top 100 high schools. The teacher wrote, “not one stroke (笔画) more, not one stroke less” about some compositions that weren’t neatly written.The story immediately aroused a heated debate among British Internet users and got 652 comments after it was published on Wednesday. Some British readers were amazed by the neat handwriting and attributed (归于) China’s growing development to this strict teaching method. A reader named Jim said, “This is another example of why China is rising to the top”, and his comment gained 72 supports. But some readers thought the too-picky method doesn’t make sense in helping students learn better English and suppresses（压制） students’ creativity.Chinese Internet users also expressed different opinions after English newspapers, a user of China’s Twitter like Sina Weibo, posted the story along with its comments on Weibo on Thursday. Since then, the post has received 1, 479 comments. Sina Weibo user wenjinzetui said, “Beautiful handwriting proves an ability”, echoing an old Chinese saying that the style is the man. However, another Weibo user, honorificabilitus, said, “It’s meaningless to pursue that neat English handwriting, since learning language is for communicating, let alone English students don’t write that neatly. ”There are also many Weibo users showing worry about this too-strict teaching method, as weibo user li-owl-stop said, “We should reflect the Chinese-style education, and it’s hard to imagine what would happen if all the schools in China adopted the teaching method at Hengshui High School. ”81.

Yet compared to foreign counterparts, Chinese animation still has a long way to go.

Premiered in 2016, the series had its episode 35 broadcast recently. Each episode focuses on a certain topic, including family, romance and friendship.

Today, sandpainting, an interesting art, will be produced to you.Sandpainting is an art of using the sand to make a fixed or unfixed painting. Maybe we all played fixed sandpainting as we were young. We first painted a simple picture, then we brushed glue (胶水) to the section, and at last we poured colored sand onto the glue in order to make it fixed.Unfixed sand paintings have a long cultural history around the world. People poured sand on a surface to make paintings or use some tools to draw pictures in the sand directly. They are often temporary (临时的). Different people draw sand paintings to express different meanings: love of nature, admiration for God or love of beauty.Nowadays, sandpainting becomes a performance art and its popularity has risen. On the stages, sandpainting performers make a series of images(图像)by drawing lines and figures in the sand with their fingers and hands. The series of images are used to tell a story.Kseniya Simonova, who is from Ukraine, is one of the greatest sandpainting performers in the world. People call her “The Lady of the Sand”.Simonova said that she never dreamed she’d become a sand artist, and when she began practicing, she nearly gave it up. But she persevered, caring for a household and her baby by day and training every night. You Are Always Nearby is one of the most famous performances of Simonoova. It is a story about a young couple separated by a war in which the solider is tragically killed, but returns in spirit to watch over his wife and child. This performance makes all audience cry.Art is everywhere and is not far away from common people. Art of painting is in our life, even in the sand. 25. Which of the following is necessary to make a fixed sandpainting? A. Glue B. A printed picture C. Colored paperD. Water26. What do we know about Simonva?A. She is the best painter in the worldB.

How sandpainting is becoming popularB. Why sandpainting is becoming popularC. How an image is created in the sandD. What sandpainting tries to express28. The underlined word “persevered” can be replaced by ______.A. set offB. gave outC. held onD. ended up8、The latest Chinese “god song”(an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet (像病毒一样传播开来) is still making debates (争论) between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards(奖) and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture’s “going abroad”, saying it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression (印象) of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business view rather than a cultural view. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy (策略) to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released (发行) to promote the duo’s film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.From the very beginning a marketing strategy was used to promote (提升) the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm (重复的韵律)，easy-to-remember lyrics (歌词), simple and funnydance and, most importantly, grass roots (草根) nature. The video accumulated (积攒) more than 1 billion bits on China’s major video websites.Although the song was generally disliked by music professionals who criticized (批评) it as “musical junk food”, Little Apple’s popularity nationally paved the way (为…铺平道路) for promoting the duo internationally.57. The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______.A. opposed(相反的)B. negative(消极的)C. objective(客观的)D. critical58. What do the underlined words “the duo” refer to?A. Little AppleB. Chopsticks BrotherC. Zhang JieD. American singers59. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. Little Apple’s popularity is also a success of marketing strategyB. Little Apple is generally thought nothing by the AMAC. Little Apple is really popular with all people in ChinaD. Little Apple was originally released as a pop play on the Internet9、City people usually think they are a lot smarter than country people. They often laugh at simple country ways. But people do not laugh at country music. It is one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States today.Perhaps it is so popular because it is about simple but strong human feelings and events—love, sadness, good times and bad times, it tells real life stories and sounds the way people really talk. As life becomes more and more complicated (复杂的), it is good to hear music about ordinary people.Country music, sometimes called country western, comes from two kinds of music. One is the traditional music of the people in the Appalachian Mountains in the eastern United States. The other is traditional cowboy music from the West. The singers usually play the guitars, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars.At first city people said country music was low-class. It was popular mostly in the South. But during World War Ⅱ, thousands of Southerners went to the Northeast and Midwest to work in the factories. They took their music with them. Soldiers from the rest of the country went to army camps in the South. They learned to like country music. Slowly it became popular all over the country.Today country music is popular everywhere in the United States and Canada, in small towns and in New York City, among black and white, and among educated and uneducated people. About 1,200 radio stations broadcast country music twenty-four hours a day. People sing it in their languages. The music that started with cowboys and poor farmers is now popular all over the world.57. People enjoy country music because ______.A. it is about ordinary peopleB. it is easy to learnC. it is free of chargeD. it is very exciting58. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ______.A. why people love country music in the United StatesB. when people began to enjoy country musicC. how country music became more and more popularD. where country music was most popular59. From the last paragraph we can see that ______.A. all people enjoy country music all over the worldB. country music is well received all over the worldC. rich people love country music best of allD. black people enjoy country music best of all60. Which of the following can be used as the best title for this passage?A. American Country MusicB. Life in the American CountryC. American CowboysD. American Radio Stations10、Tang Dynasty poets sang for about three centuries in different tones. There were many famous poets living in the Tang period such as Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Li Shangyin. Poems of the Tang Dynasty edited in the Qing Dynasty is a collection of about 48,900 poems that were written by over 2,200 poets. But it didn’t cover all the poems of the Tang Dynasty.During the Tang Dynasty, poems were recited when lovers walked under the moonlight. Poems were also recited when soldiers fought on the battlefield. People recited them in the open air or at temple fairs.In the Tang Dynasty scholars had to be poets. Their readers were not only people of high social position but also common people. Poets recited poems; women singers sang poems and other ranks of people, including old women and children, read Tang poems. This atmosphere affected foreigners who visited the country at that time. As a result, Tang poetry was introduced to some adjacent countries, like Japan and Vietnam.Tang poetry is a most brilliant page in the history of ancient Chinese literature. It’s a miracle in the cultural history of mankind. The Tang Dynasty was a powerful empire with a vast territory. It inherited Chinese civilization that went back to ancient times, and was combined with the best of other cultures and adopted the benefits of other nations in the world. Tang poetry wasn’t the only spiritual wealth created by the Tang Dynasty people. Philosophy and religion, handwriting and painting and music and dance all gained new peaks of development. Tang poetry, however, was the jewel in the crown and its greatest achievement.44. It can be inferred from Paragraph 1 that ______.A. there were more than 48,900 poems written in Tang DynastyB. in total there were four famous poets in the Tang DynastyC. only people in the Tang Dynasty created poemsD. in the Tang Dynasty most common people were poets45. The underlined word “adjacent” in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A. neighboringB. strongC. poorD. rich46. What does the author really want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A. In the Tang Dynasty all scholars were poets.B. Tang Dynasty poems were quite popular.C. Many foreigners came to our country during the Tang Dynasty.D. In the Tang Dynasty many poems were sung by women singers.47. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Why the poets created poems.B. Some other kinds of spiritual wealth in the Tang Dynasty.C. The significance and influence of the Tang Dynasty.D. The editors of Poems of the Tang Dynasty.一、阅读理解（本题共计 10 小题，每题 10 分，共计100分）1、【答案】CDAD【解析】文章主要介绍了美国著名作家Madonna以及她的作品。

Unit 2 Detective stories Section 1 Warming Up & Readin
Ⅰ.阅读理解
The media provides us with the observations and experiences from which we build up our personal understanding of the world and how it works.Much of our view of reality is based on media messages.The media，to a great extent，gives us our sense of reality.
Freedom of the media carries with it certain responsibilities of honesty，fairness，accuracy
and accountability.The power of the media to create and destroy human values comes with great
responsibility. The media is powerful in the political system，having great influence on politics and on forming social change.The power is to decide who will communicate what to whom.Television can greatly influence the election of a national leader on the basis of his or her image. Professional journalists do have a code of ethics(道德标准)．Journalists make a judgment about what's safe and appropriate to report，which often involves difficult choices.German sociologist Max Weber distinguishes between “ethics of conviction”and “ethics of responsibility”．According to the latter (ethics of responsibility)，journalists must take into account the foreseeable consequences of their reporting，and the impact it will have on society.The former，on the other hand，asks journalists to tell the truth，regardless of the consequences.According to Weber，both ideas of ethics should be considered. Without doubt，information is power，and the big owners of the mass media are very powerful people.Television and radio stations，newspapers，magazines，and websites are，largely，owned and controlled by profitmaking businesses.It is not strange that their ideas will get promoted
at times. It is my view that such power and responsibility should never be left in the hands of a few.I believe it is our responsibility as concerned citizens to make sure we are not merely passive viewers，readers or listeners.Together we can have a huge influence on the media by
making our views known.【语篇解读】媒体对公众的价值观，对整个社会有着很大的影响，因此媒体应肩负起相应的责任。
