He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars( US $50.21 ) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the US. He plans to start his own flooring business.“I can make what I did in a week in the US in less than a day here”,said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.Australian government figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently work on longterm visas, an 80% jump over the past five citizens are now thethirdlargest group applying for socalled 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers,can obtain a nonrenewable(不可更新的) permit for as much as a threeyear stay.After that, they can apply f or the renewable 457, which allows up to a fouryea r stay.The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in Novem ber, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in sixfigure salaries while experienced crane(起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the US and Europe, according to migration data.36.________, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.A.As a result of the encouragement of AustraliaB.As a result of high unemployment in the USC.Out of their ambition of finding valuable resourcesD.Out of their determination to realize their dreams37.It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are ________.A.for skilled workers in some fieldsB.for students on the building projectC.especially for American workersD.especially for those out of work38.It is implied in the passage that ________.A.foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in AustraliaB.it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countriesC.there are more US citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countriesD.Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American sk illed workers39.Which part of Australia needs workers particularly?A.Northwestern Australia.B.Eastern Australia.C.Southeastern Australia.D.Western Australia.课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.1.D 考查虚拟语气。

rewarding people who have done something good in their countries,there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things.The Oscars are probably the most famous,a time for the(mostly)American film industry to tell itself how good it is,an annual opportunity for lots of big stars to give each other awards and make tearful speeches.But it’s not only films—now there are also Grammies,Brits,the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music.In Britain,a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult,literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with the“Da Vinci Code”for popularity.The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist—each year it causes controversy(争论)by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like display their beds,put animals in glass cases or—this year—build a garden shed.Shakespeare never won a prize,nor did Leonardo da Vinci or Adam Smith or Charles Dickens.It would be possible to say,however,that in the past,scientists and a rtists could win“patronage”from rich people—a king or a lord would give the artist or scientist money to have them paint their palaces or help them develop new ways of making money.With the change in social systemsacross the world,this no longer happens.A lot of scientific research is now either funded by the state or by private companies.Perhaps awards ceremonies are just the most recent face of this process.However,there is more to it than that.When a film wins an Oscar,many more people will go and see it,or buy the DVD.When a writer wins the Nobel Prize,many more people buy their books.When a group wins the MTV awards,the ceremony is seen by hundreds of thousands of people across the world.The group sells lots more records.Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies.This means that it is not only the person who wins the award who benefits—but also the sponsors.The MTV awards,for example,are great for publicizing not only music,but also MTV itself!On the surface,it seems to be a“win-win”situation,with everyone being happy,but let me ask you a question—how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here,and how much sincere recognition of achievement is taking place?1.Which of the following awards often confuses the public by giving a prize to people who do unusual things?A.The Turner Prize. B.The Booker Prize.C.The Mercury Prize. D.The Oscars.2.From the context of the paragraph we can infer that“patronage”was perhaps______.A.an official position in the governmentB.the works of ancient scientists and artistsC.the professional qualification for a postD.an old-fashioned form of prize-giving3.At the end of the text,the writer shows concern about whether______.A.people are really being given credit for what they have doneB.people are happy to do something good for their countriesC.it is worthwhile to launch so many awardsD.so many awards will continue to be given around the world4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?A.The Oscars are given to(usually)American film stars and directors.B.The Booker Prize can help someone who is not usually successful become successful.C.When people win awards,they usually become richer and more famous.D.The MTV awards publicize the people who win them more than the people who are giving them.参考答案与解析课时作业(五)Unit 3A卷一、单项填空1.解析:句意:别这么灰心,如果你把这种感觉收起来,你下次会做得更好些。

It was exactly like the one on the firstwall.But the second artist had not seen what was going on,on the other side of the curtain.The king gave the second artist a double reward,and then asked,“I am indeed very happywith your work.But how did you do it?”The man said simply,“It’s very easy!

much you love them is by building them a great doghouse of their very own.Make sure that your dog is safe,comfortable,and happy by following these tips when building your doghouse.Consider the breed of your dog.What your dog will need to have their doghouse equipped with depends largely on their breeds.If your dog has long or thick hair or is a traditionally “cold weather”breed like a Malamute or a Husky,they will need less protection from inclement weather than a smaller or shorter haired dog like a Chihuahua.If you are unsure or if your dog is a mixed breed,ask an expert about any special consideration that you might need to keep in mind when building a doghouse.Measure your dog.Your dog will reach an average height and weight when full-grown depending on breeds.Even if you are building your doghouse while your dog is a puppy,you will want to make sure that the doghouse will be a comfortable size once your pet is full-grown.Imagine what size your dog will be when it is an adult and build your doghouse accordingly.Make it breathe.Enough ventilation is the most important feature of your doghouse.Even if the house is big enough for your dog,little ventilation will make it uncomfortable for your dog.So consider using materials like wood that would allow air to move freely.Make sure the main door to the doghouse is large and able to be left open,and consider an extra window in one of the doghouse's walls for extra air and light.Keep it roomy.Your dog should have enough room in the doghouse to sit,stand up,and move around.Your dog will probably take toys,sticks or other things that it likes best to the doghouse,so make sure you leave room for these things,too.Choose a proper place for the doghouse.Keep the doghouse off the ground.This keeps moisture away and keeps the dog comfortable and warm.Ⅳ.阅读简答(CNN)—Nollywood,Nigeria's(尼日利亚)growing film industry,has developed in recent years into a powerful movie-making machine,attracting audiences with its universal themes and strong narratives of urban culture.The giant industry,one of Nigeria's biggest employers,has been dismissed as a factory rushing more than 1,000 typically low-budget films a year,producing a wide range of stories with themes from romance and drama to comedy and witchcraft.It is now the third-largest producer of feature films(故事片)in the world,ranking behind only Hollywood in the US and India's Bollywood revenue(收入).And lately,instead of relying on modest budgets,many Nollywood movies are attracting funding of a few million dollars,benefiting from the films' growing popularity.But while the industry gets bigger,insiders say Nollywood has remained true to its key to success—its connection with the audience.Nigerian director Lancelot Imasuen,who is now working on a $2 million film called “Invasion 1987,”says Nollywood movies are made for Nigerians and the rest of the continent.“People get in touch with Nollywood's direct realism,” says Imasuen.“People are getting more and more interested,more and more involved in(参与)our productions because they can feel the pains,they can feel the excitement and it's so real to them.” Imasuen,a pioneering filmmaker with more than 10 years of experience,says that Nollywood's themes make the audience feel very familiar with the stories by getting them to feel part of the stories.And that,he says,is the industry's big advantage compared to the competition posed by Hollywood productions.“For us in Africa,we just get entertained by American films,”says Imasuen.“When I'm watching Spiderman or Batman and all that,it's just for spectacle(壮观的场面).I'm just having fun because I know its not realistic for the guy just to fly here and there—there is nothing that relates to us as Nigerians or Africans.”1.What is the secret of

第四部分任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)Made In The USA: An Export BoomIn his State of the Union address two years ago, President Obama argued that in order to recover from the economic recession, one of the few things the U.S. needed to do was to export more goods around the world. That night, the president unveiled a new goal: to double U.S. exports over the next five years. It would be an increase that the president said would “support two million jobs in America.”Most economists dismissed the promise at the time as something unrealistic, but two years later, the U.S. is on pace to meet that goal. American exports are up 34 percent since the president gave that speech, and the number continues to rise.Competitive In A Global MarketMarlin Steel, a metal working business in Baltimore, makes parts that ship all across the world.“We export to 36 countries,” owner Drew Greenblatt tells All Things Considered Host Guy Raz.“We're working around the clock, and we're growing.”It's not just advanced manufacturing exports on the rise, but pork, cattle and all kinds of agricultural exports are up as well. Even American craft beer has found an export market.Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso says that increasingly, people all over the world are trying the beer from the Maryland-based brewery. Caruso says,“Even in those top beer-producing countries, a competitive American product is finding a market.”Services Are Exports, TooAnother place exports are coming from is New York City—in particular, the 30th floor of a Manhattan skyscraper on 5th Avenue and 52nd Street. That's where the consulting firm Kurt Solomon lies. It doesn't actually produce a product for export; it provides management advice and strategy.“Four out of every five Americans is now employed in the service industry,” the nation's top trade official,Ron Kirk says, “Services are a significant part of our exports, and make up about a quarter of our exported goods.” These services can include everything from legal consulting, finance, information technology and even engineering.And There Are Other FactorsSo why has there been an increase of more than 30 percent for exports in almost everything? Part of the increase, at least for the manufacturing side, is due to better technology, says Tyler Cowen, an economist.“A lot of it is being driven by smart machines,” he tells Raz,“The U.S. has high wage rates, which is a disadvantage, but if machines are doing a lot of the work, that doesn't matter.”China factors a lot in America's export economy, too.“Wages in China have been going up as the c ountry becomes more productive. Thus China is losing the cheap labor advantage it has held for some time.” Cowen says.Will Jobs Grow, too?“Companies have become more productive by dismissing workers and lowering costs.”Cowen says.“So I don't view exporti ng as a way of creating a very large number of jobs, but it will create more profits.”So not every business or worker is necessarily benefiting from the export boom in the U.S., and Cowen says that could ultimately lead to a polarization(两极) of economic outcomes.Made In the USA: An Export BoomOutline DetailsThe purpose of increasing exports *To help America make a (71)______ from the economic recession *To help raise the nation's (72)______ rateThe current situation *American exports have risen (73)______ thirty-four percent up to now*There has been an increase in exports in everything*The export boom does not necessarily (74)______ every business or worker(75)______ (76)______Even in those top beer-producing countries, people try craftcontributing to the export boom products beer from Flying Dog, a brewery (77)______ in Maryland VariousproductsA variety of products are provided around the world,services(78)______ for 25%Lowercosts*(79)______ take the place of labor, helping companies reducewages*China, who used to take (80)______ of cheap labor, has givenway to America in exports to some extent because of itsincreasing production任务型阅读71. recovery72. employment73. by74. benefit75.

江苏省2014届高三英语(牛津版)一轮复习攻略训练:任务型阅读(2)(二)Self-Regulated Learning Today, people change jobs an average of seven times before they retire. Many of these career changes require new learning that must be self-initiated and self-directed. Thus, one goal of teaching is to free students from the need for teachers, so they can continue to learn independently throughout their lives. That is, to make them self-regulated learners. Self-regulated learners have a combination of academic learning skills and self-control that makes learning easier.What influences self-regulated learning? Knowledge, motivation and will-power combine to influence self-regulated learning.First of all, self-regulated learners have knowledge about themselves. For example, they know their preferred learning styles; what their interests and talents are: and how to take advantage of their strengths. These experts also know quite a bit about the subject being studied-and the more they know, the easier it is to learn more. They understand different learning tasks require different approaches. Further, they havemastered adequate learning strategies and tactics. For example, they know how and when to skim and how and when to read for deep understanding.Self-regulated learners are motivated by learning itself. They find many tasks in school interesting because they value learning, not just performing well in the eyes of others. However, knowledge and motivation are not always enough. Self-regulated learners need will-power. They won't give up easily. They know how to protect themselves from distractions—for example, what to do when attracted to stop working and have a cup of coffee.A model of self-regulated learning. Phi Winne and Allyson Hadwin put forward a 4-stage model.1. Analyzing the learning task. Learners examine whatever information they think is relevant in order to construct a sense of what the task is about, what resources are available, and how they feel about the work to be done.2. Setting goals and devising plans. What goals for studying might you set for a quiz covering only one chapter that counts just 3% toward your grade? Would you goals change if the test covered the last six chaptersand counted 30% toward your course grade? Your goal in turn affects the shape of your plans for how to study. Is cramming(突击学习) the best approach? Is it a better plan to study a half-hour each day?3. Enacting tactics and strategies to accomplish the task. Learners put their tactics and strategies into practice and monitor how well the plan is working. Are you reaching your goals? Is your progress rate fast enough to be prepared for the test?4. Regulating learning. Learners have to decide whether changes are needed in any of the three preceding stages. For example, if learning is slow:Do you need to review some prior material that provides foundations for the content you are now studying?Teaching toward self-regulated learning. To develop students' self-regulated learning ability, teachers should let students take an active part in finishing complex meaningful tasks; provide them control over their learning processes and products; involve students in setting criteria for evaluating their learning processes and products, then give them opportunities to make judgments about their progress using those standards.Title: Self-Regulated Learning(三)Nowadays, more companies are accepting working from home as a practical choice. If you’d like to work from home , use the following statements to convince your boss that you’ll be just as , if not more, productive at home as you will be in the office.Firstly, you cannot distract(使分心)colleagues when working at home . A recent survey of 800 job seekers looking for work-from home jobs found that the number one reason they wanted a work-from-home job was to avoid distracting their colleagues, but not to have more time for their families or to save on costs like business clothes, lunches out, and gas. When you work at home, you can remove this major distraction and devote all your attention to your work.Secondly, it can control how often you’re interrupted.A study by the University of California, Irvine found that workers are interrupted every three minutes, and that it takes more than 20 minutes to get back to the task after an int erruption. Half the time , we’re self-interrupting (checking emails, listening to talk radio, etc.), but the other half of the time, we’re interrupted byoutside forces--- loud noises, colleagues stopping by our desks, other people’s conversations in the o ffice, etc. We can cut back on 50%of the interruption by working from home.Thirdly, it takes less sick time and fewer personal days. People who are sick enough to call in sick tend to keep working if they can work from home. We’re not saying this is th e healthiest practice, but it’s the reality of what happens, especially if the sickness is only a slight cold or stomach bug. Working from home is a win-win situation for you and your employers because you’re still working , and you aren’t passing your ger ms (病菌) along to your colleagues. Of course, it works the other way around as well. If you’re working from home regularly, you’re not exposed to illnesses from your colleagues as well.In addition, it can make you more productive. Last year, Stanford University tracked the productivity of 250 employees who worked from home for nine months, as compared to those working in the office, and the results weighed heavily in the favor of those working from home. The employees who worked from home worked 11% more hours than the office-bound workersand their overall productivity was 4% higher than that of the office-bound workers.Of course, how productive you are when working from home depends a lot on you, the employee. How do you work without supervision? Are you self-disciplined or good at self-management? Can you avoid temptations like television, napping and shopping in the middle of the day? Some people prefer the office environment because it provides more structure and supervision, so before you jump into working from home, you need to first evaluate yourself.Working from home is a practical choice ParagraphoutlinesSupporting detailsAvoidance of distraction ●Those who seek work-from jobs mainly wish to leave their colleagues undistracted.●Whil e working at home, you can fix your (1) _________ on your work.Reduction of interruption ●P eople working in offices are interrupted frequently, and after an interruption, it israther a long time before they can pick up the(2)___________.●W e’re interrup ted either by(3)__________or by outside forces.●H alf of the interruptions can be reduced if we work from home.Advantages to both sick workers and employers ●I f you are (4) ______ ill , you can still work for your employer at home.●A t the same time, you can keep your colleagues separated from your(5)___________.●W orking from home regularly can guarantee your being (6)___________ to illnesses in the workplace.High productivity The workers who work at home are more productive than thosewho work in the (7)__________ by spending more time working .(8)__________affecting your productivity at home ●Whether you are self-disciplined and good at(9)____ yourself.●Whether you can rejectvarious temptations athome .●What kind of(10)________________you prefer.11页。

He had been forced to take a job stocking shelves at a local grocery store for $8.90 an hour when he couldn't get work fixing floors.On a good day in Australia, he now makes as much as 50 Australian dollars( US $50.21 ) an hour—about twice the amount for a typical flooring job in the US. He plans to start his own flooring business.“I can make what I did in a week in the US in less than a day here”,said Mr. Davila, who lives near a mining boom town in Western Australia.Australian government figures show just under 7,000 Americans currently work on longterm visas, an 80% jump over the past five citizens are now thethirdlargest group applying for socalled 457 work visas, after British and Indian nationals. Americans with degrees in areas such as accounting or mine engineering, as well as other skilled workers,can obtain a nonrenewable(不可更新的) permit for as much as a threeyear stay.After that, they can apply f or the renewable 457, which allows up to a fouryea r stay.The need for workers is particularly pressing in Western Australia.The mining state's unemployment rate was 4.5% in Novem ber, below the national average of 5.2%. Drivers of heavy trucks can pull in sixfigure salaries while experienced crane(起重机) operators can earn hundreds of thousands a year. Attracting skilled workers is a shift for Australia, which historically sent many of its most highly educated to the US and Europe, according to migration data.36.________, a growing number of Americans go to work in Australia.A.As a result of the encouragement of AustraliaB.As a result of high unemployment in the USC.Out of their ambition of finding valuable resourcesD.Out of their determination to realize their dreams37.It can be inferred from the passage that 457 work visas are ________.A.for skilled workers in some fieldsB.for students on the building projectC.especially for American workersD.especially for those out of work38.It is implied in the passage that ________.A.foreigners have to give up their original professional jobs when working in AustraliaB.it is possible for foreigners to earn more money in Australia than in their own countriesC.there are more US citizens hoping to work in Australia than from other countriesD.Australians think it fair to exchange their talent with American sk illed workers39.Which part of Australia needs workers particularly?A.Northwestern Australia.B.Eastern Australia.C.Southeastern Australia.D.Western Australia.课时作业(十五)Ⅰ.1.D 考查虚拟语气。
