The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means the Mona Lisa________.A.is losing its valueB.is being damaged after so many yearsC.is getting more valuable with years passingD.will rot away2.The smile of the Mona Lisa can only be seen________.A.by indirect vision B.at a distanceC.by direct vision D.in shadows3.Which of the following is TRUE about Mona Lisa?A.It was once taken away and hidden up by German forces.B.Its painter himself loved it greatly and always kept it in a shade.C.Mona Lisa stops smiling when you look at her wanting to see her smiles.D.King Fra ncis Ⅰ bought it and then returned it to Italy.4.It may add to the difficulty in repairing the painting that________.A.experts haven't noticed changes in its shape as visitors doB.it is likely to be stolen again when it's under repairC.it is uncertain which country, Italy or France, should take chargeD.experts aren't sure about the materials and the chemical state of its oil paint5.From the last paragraph,we can infer that________.A.many interesting stories have been written about the Mona LisaB.people are interested in the stories about the Mona LisaC.some mysteries still remain to be solved about the Mona LisaD.many more stories will be told about the MonaLisaBWhen I started teaching in school,I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love.Although most of my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching,there was a small group of teenage girls who became more and more hostile(敌对的) toward me.One day a fight happened in my classroom.Attempting to end it,I stepped in to face one of these hostile young women,who started hitting me in the face.Two boys jumped up to control the girl,but the damage was done.While the girl was suspended(暂时停学) for a few days,I was determined that she would not returnto my classroom.But I also prayed.I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school.On the top of my daily lessonplan book,I wrote this statement,“To see all the children in my classroom as always beautiful.〞It was the first thing I saw each day when I started teaching.With this view I could expect healing in my heart ofany anger toward the girl.After her suspension,she returned to my classroom.The student's young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war overseas.The mother and I agreed to work together to help her eldest daughter.There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year.In fact,in the seven years I remained at that school,I taught all six of this family's children.When the youngest was in my class,the mother told me,“Our family loves you.Every year one of my kids says,‘I hope I' m in her classroom!’〞The standard of seeing each of my students as perfect was the best teaching tool I had,which led to success in the classroom.6.At the beginning of teaching,the author ________.A.was full of confidence in herselfB.doubted if she could be a good teacherC.was sure to win love from her studentsD.decided to change her students' life7.What happened in the author's class one day?A.A girl fought with two boys.B.She was hit by a girl.C.She hit a girl in the face.D.She fought with several girls.8.How was the girl punished?A.She was sent to another class.B.She was driven out of school at once.C.She had to stay at home for a few days.D.She was beaten heavily by her mother.9.When the girl returned to school,________.A.she apologized to the authorB.she took her mother to schoolC.the author was still angry with herD.the author treated her with love10.It can be inferred from the passage that________.A.the author got along better with boysB.the author tried to let the girl come to her classC.the girl's mother was very thankful to the authorD.all the six kids of the woman are hard to teachⅣ.翻译句子1.正在建造的房子是他的。

The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.Everyone wants some degree of success. Many people believe that they deserve(值得) success simply because they believe that they deserve success. But there is a widespread belief that people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it, but because of influential (有影响的) friends or the right background. Sometimes it may just be a comforting and harmless belief, while at the other extreme it can be very destructive.I once met a brilliant young engineer who worked in a chemical plant. Because of her knowledge and experience, she should have been promoted (升职) to Production Manager. Instead, the job went to a man who was totally unsuited for the post. Everyone knew that he only got it because he was politically acceptable to his superiors (上司). This injustice discouraged the young engineer and many of her colleagues(同事). It alsomeant that the factory was much less efficient than it could have been.All the same, we should not be pessimistic (悲观的). More and more then modern world depends on having people who are in the job because they are good enough, not just because their faces fit. There is a story of a factory owner who sent for an engineer to see to a machine which would not go. He examined it, then took out a hammer and tapped, once. The machine started up immediately. When he presented his bill, the owner protested, “This can t be right! $100 just for tapping(敲打) a machine with a hammer ?” The engineer wrote out a new bill: “For tapping a machine, $1; for knowing where to tap, $99.”1. The engineer at the chemical plant was not promoted because_____ .A. it was politically less good for the boss to accept her than the manB. her boss did not think she had the right qualifications for the jobC. the man who got the promotion was more experienced than she wasD. it is more difficult for a woman to get a promotion than for her male colleague2. The engineer who repaired the machine was right in charging $ 100 because______ .A. he hit the machine to get it started againB. the factory owner could not have repaired it himselfC. he was charging for his knowledge and expert skillsD. he was the only person who could find out what was wrong with it3. What can we learn about the author s attitude toward the widespread belief that “people who get on in life may be successful not because they deserve it”?A. He quite agrees with it.B. He doesn't express his opinion at it.C. He completely disagrees with it.D. He doesn't quite agree with it.4. According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?A. Having influential friends or right background seems helpful sometimes.B. The engineer had good reason to overcharge the factory owner.C. Not all those who are good in their jobs have the chance to be promoted.D. Those who are good in their jobs are still largely needed by the modern society.Ⅲ.

Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Educating girls quite possibly brings in more good than any other investment(投资) available in the developing world.Parents in low-income countries fail to invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution(贡献) to the family: girls grow up only to marry into other people's families and bear children. Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school, which results in trapping women in a vicious circle(恶性循环) of neglect(忽略).An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces a completely different set of choices. She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, making sure that her daughters are given a fair chance. The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of that of boys, will be educated and healthy. The vicious circle is thus transformed(转换) into a virtuous circle.Few will argue that educating women has great social benefits(利益). But it has big economic advantages as well. Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages(工资) of female workers. Wages rise by 10 to 20 percent for each additional(增加) year of schooling. Educating women also has a significant(有意义的) consequence(影响) onhealth practices, including family planning.From educated mothers'families4. __________5. __________6. __________7. __________ 8. __________ 9. __________10. __________参考答案Unit 3The secret of success &Unit 4The next step基础操练Ⅰ. 1. 解析:选C。

But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session.When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect ofe-readers and tablets on reading. It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time.The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as eportant guides for their kids when it comes to reading. Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read.As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip to the library or bookstore.1.What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A.Children’s reading habit s.B.Quality of children’s books.C.Children’s after-class activities.D.Parent-child relationships.“Teensandyoungerchildrenarereadingalotlessforfun”可知,青少年与年龄更小的孩子们读书的乐趣要少得多,这是孩子们的阅读习惯问题,故选A项。

In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire-fighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When fire-fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building: its position, size, type and so on. In fact, the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping fire-fighters with the problems facing them. For instance, it can give medical information about invalids(病残者) living in a burning building. With this information, the fire-fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.
The Kansas City computer system also helps a medical record of each of the city’s 900 fire-fighters. This kind of information is specially useful when a fireman is injured. With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire-fighters more quickly and easily.
The fire-fighters themselves greatly appreciate the computer’s help. They know about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property(财产), sometimes the lives are those of fire-fighters themselves!
