Now hundreds of songs can be stored in your PC if they’re in the MP3 format(格式)What is it?MP3 compresses music into small computer-friendly files. You access MP3 music several ways: Tunes can be downloaded from websites that have converted(转变) vast music libraries into MP3. Or you can prerecorded CDs into your PC and convert songs in minutes into MP3. Once MP3 music is on your PC’s hard drive, you can play it through your computer’s speakers, “burn”it onto blank CDs or swap(交换) MP3 files with friends using e-mail.How much?Software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free. It comes preinstalled(预定安装) on most new computers or can be downloaded from many websites, including MP3. com. Some MP3 sites are free. Just type “MP3 sites” into any search engine. Compact portable MP3 players start at around $50 and can hold hundreds of songs. A blank CD on which you can record music costs about a dollar.AdvantagesMP3 turns your home PC into a jukebox(自动唱机). Tiny MP3 players are the size of a deck of cards, making it easy to take hundreds of songs with you.DisadvantagesYou may find that music at many sites is limited. And some only allow you to listen rather than download offerings. Others let you download music that then can’t be copied to MP3 players. Anda growing number of new CDs make it impossible to copy songs to a computer.1. How can you get MP3 Music?A. by turning your home PC into a jukeboxB. by taking your won music or songs with youC. by copying songs to a PC through the speakersD. by downloading from websites which have converted music libraries into MP32. Which is NOT true to the passage?A. software needed to play and convert MP3 music is often free of chargeB. MP3 music can be “burned” onto blank CDs or swapped with friends by e-mailC. MP3 music can be taken along while travelingD. A great number of new CDs make it possible to copy songs to a computer3. How much will you pay for a MP3 player?A. Free of chargeB. Free downloadingC. At least fifty dollarsD. About a dollar4. A. What is the closest meaning of the underlined word “burn”?A. copyB. playC. storeD. chargeBGeorge Washington Carver and Thomas Alva Edison were American scientists who were born during the nineteenth century. Caver, who was black, was born in Missouri in 1864. Although his parents were slaves, he was able to get a college education. After he graduated from Iowa State College, he developed many important new methods of farming. He also discovered many new uses for farm products. His discoveries included 300 uses for peanuts and 200 uses for sweet potatoes.Edison, who was born in Ohio in 1847, was not a good student when he was a young boy, so his parents took him out of school and his mother educated him at home. Although he hated school, he loved science. One day he burned down a barn while he was making a scientific experiment. Most people know that what a great scientist Edison became. His 6,000 inventions included the electric light bulb, the photograph, and the mimeograph machine(油印机)。

高二英语Unit18 Inventions 知识点总复习教案高二英语Unit18 Inventions知识点总复习教案Section I 课前准备、听力、口语1. Never throw away or wash chopsticks again. 千万不要扔掉再洗这些筷子。

( A) ▲ throw (threw，thrown)(1) 投，抛，扔 He threw the ball 20 metres. 他把球投出20米。

(2) 摔倒The policeman threw the thief to the ground.警察把小偷摔倒在地面上。

(3) 发射，射 China has throw a satellite into space recent- ly. 中国最近向太空发射了一枚卫星。

辨析：throw...to sb. 与throw ... at sb.throw sth. to sb. 指“把某物扔向某人”，其目的在于“传递” (for sb. to catch) 介词to纯粹表示行为的方向，其动机是善意的；throw sth. at sb. 指“把某物打向某人”，其目的在于“打” ( = try to hit sb.)。

介词at表示动作在于企图攻击的目标，其动机是恶意的。

如：He threw the ball at me. (= try to hit me) 他扔球打我。

He threw the ball to me. (= for me to catch) 他把球传给了我(= He threw me the ball.) 辨析：throw与castthrow是普通用词，使用频率高，它指用力抛掷这一行为。

cast比throw正式，指迅速扔出一重量较轻的物体。

经常用作比喻或无意识行为，在某些成语及特殊用语中须用cast，如cast a net “撒网”；cast a vote“投票”；cast anchor“抛锚”等等。

辨析：throw...to sb. 与throw ... at sb.throw sth. to sb. 指“把某物扔向某人”，其目的在于“传递” (for sb. to catch) 介词to纯粹表示行为的方向，其动机是善意的；throw sth. at sb. 指“把某物打向某人”，其目的在于“打” ( = try to hit sb.)。

介词at表示动作在于企图攻击的目标，其动机是恶意的。

如：He threw the ball at me. (= try to hit me) 他扔球打我。

He threw the ball to me. (= for me to catch) 他把球传给了我(= He threw me the ball.) 辨析：throw与castthrow是普通用词，使用频率高，它指用力抛掷这一行为。

cast比throw正式，指迅速扔出一重量较轻的物体。

经常用作比喻或无意识行为，在某些成语及特殊用语中须用cast，如cast a net “撒网”；cast a vote“投票”；cast anchor“抛锚”等等。

But it wasn’t until the 19th century that the scientific study of oceans began. The first major scientific expedition, and the one that firmly established the field of oceanography, was the around the world voyage of H. M. S. Challenger. Setting out from England in 1872, the Challenger spent almost three and a half years gathering a wealth of information about seawater, sea life, and the ocean floor. Major oceanographic expeditions since then have included the South Atlantic voyage of the German ship Meteor in 1926 and the Deep-Sea Drilling Project from 1968 to 1983. Many individuals also have played important roles in advancing our understanding of oceans, beginning with Matthew Fontaine Maury in the mid-1800s; his work on oceanography and navigation led to a uniform system of weather reporting at sea. Since Maury’s time, oceanography has progressed rapidly. Early oceanographers had to contend themselves with tossing buckets overboard to see what they might haul in. Today’s oceanographers are equipped with space images, supercomputer models, and deep-sea robots that can crawl along the seafloor. As they set goals for the future, some oceanographers even dream of doing research in permanently manned stations on the bottom of the oceans.1. Which of the following statements is true?A. Humans didn’t explore the oceans until the 19th century.B. Maury first established the field of oceanography.C. Maury spent a lot of time in studying seawater, sea life, and the bottom of the ocean.D. Many individuals also play a very important part in advancing our understanding of oceans, such as Maury.2. How many expeditions are mentioned in this passage?A. Four.B. Three.C. Five.D. Two.3. What can we infer from the passage?A. The process of the oceanography has stopped at one time.B. Maury’s work on oceanography doesn’t contribute a lot to weather reporting at sea.C. Nowadays the equipment for studying the oceans needs improving, because it is out of date.D. The expeditions in the past had great difficulty and made a lotof efforts in order to study the oceans.BEarth is the third planet from the sun. It is one of the four inner planets. The other three inner planets are Mercury, Venus, and Mars. The inner planets are also called the rocky planets, because they are made of rocks.Earth is often called the “Water Planet”, because it is the only planet in our solar system which has liquid water on its surface. About 70% of the surface of Earth is covered by water! The other part of Earth is made up of continents and islands which have different landforms on them. Examples of landforms are mountains and plains. Plants and animals can live on Earth, because it has so much water.Earth spins very quickly compared to other planets. It only takes Earth 24 hours to spin around its axis one time. One Earth day is 24 hours long! Earth orbits the sun in 365 days! This makes one Earth year 365 days long!Earth is the only planet in our solar system where humans, other animals, and plants can live. There is plenty of water to drink or to live in. Water is present on Earth in its big oceans and in the air! Clouds are made of water vapor. The atmosphere has a lot of oxygen in it for animals to breathe, but the rest of our “air”is made up of water vapor, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and other gases. The air is perfect for plants to grow. Earth temperature is not the same in all places, but the temperature is just right for plants, animals, and humans in most places on Earth.Like the other inner planets, Earth has volcanoes. Volcanoes on Earth are different from those on other planets, because they still erupt. Scientists think that there may be active volcanoes on other planets and moons in our solar system, but they are still studying this.Earth has one planet which we call the Moon. The surface of the Moon has many craters. These were caused when meteorites hit it. It has many volcanoes on it which do not erupt anymore. We can see the moon at night without using a telescope. It is the closest space object to our planet, Earth.4. Earth is called the “Water Planet” because _____________.A. animals need waterB. the water makes it look blue from spaceC. it has liquid water on its surfaceD. Earth is the third planet from the sun5. It takes Earth ________________ to orbit the sun in one year.A. 24 hoursB. 24 daysC. 365 daysD. 360 days6. Life exists on Earth because ________________.A. because the water, air, and temperature are just rightB. there is water vapor in cloudsC. Earth is the planet closest to the sunD. earth has volcanoes7. The craters on the moon were caused by _______________________.A. meteorites hitting its surfaceB. active volcanoesC. volcanoes which do not erupt anymoreD. some reasons that are not mentioned三、短文改错I went out to see a film with my brother after supper.

Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on. No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.1. Designers and big stores always make money .A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they are capable of predicting new fashionsC. by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothingD. because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing2. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as .A. a waste of moneyB. a waste of timeC. an expression of tasteD. an expression of creativity3. The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the ofclothing.A. costB. appearanceC. comfortD. suitability4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.B. The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.C. The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.D. Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.BCloning〔克隆〕took a giant step from science fiction to science fact last year when researchers at the Roslyn Institute in Scotland announced the birth of Dolly, a lamb cloned from the cells〔细胞〕of an adult sheep. The success raised vast questions about the potential of cloning:Could the technique be repeated and made more efficient〔有效的〕? Could other animals be cloned?Some doubted and even demanded more proof that Dolly was a true clone, as advertised Drammatic papers in the July 23 issue of Nature answered these questions and suggested that cloning was about to become an important part of our world, whether we were ready for it or not.An international team of researchers led by Ryuzo Yanagimachi of the University of Hawaii announced that they had successfully cloned adult mice not once but more than 50 times. Some of the mice were third-generation animals:clones of clones. Yanagimachi’s group used a different but more efficient technique than the one used to create Dolly—though it still only produced live births two to three percent of the time. An American company holds commercial right to the new cloning method. Possible applications include custom-tailored animals that create medicine or organs for transplantation into human; cloning might also help protect the genetic stock(库存) of endangered species. In two separate reports, scientists at the Roslyn Institute and the Universityof Leicester examined Dolly’s DNA “fingerprint〞. The results showed that she was a clone and got her place in the history books.1. Which of the following can best explain“Cloning took a giant step from science fiction toscience fact〞?A. Cloning was described as reality in the science novels.B. Cloning was turned from something imagined into reality.C. Cloning turned science novels into something practical.D. Cloning was described as something impossible in the science novels.2. Which of the following statements is not true?A. Adult mice have been successfully cloned by scientists.B. Cloning is likely to become an important part of our life.C. Cloning might help to preserve the stock of rare animals.D. Efficient technique has led to high birth rate of cloned mice.3. Two separate reports showed that .A. humans will be clonedB. Dolly is a lamb of cloneC. Dolly is not a real lambD. Humans can’t be cloned4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Clone—From Science Fiction to Science RealityB. Dolly, the First Cloned LambC. Clone, Good or Bad for Humans?D. Cloned Lamb and Cloned MiceⅣ. 短文改错Nobody can tell exactly why people first began to use salt, 1.but it is well-known that salt has used in many different ways 2. throughout history.

Caver, who was black, was born in Missouri in 1864. Although his parents were slaves, he was able to get a college education. After he graduated from Iowa State College, he developed many important new methods of farming. He also discovered many new uses for farm products. His discoveries included 300 uses for peanuts and 200 uses for sweet potatoes.Edison, who was born in Ohio in 1847, was not a good student when he was a young boy, so his parents took him out of school and his mother educated him at home. Although he hated school, he loved science. One day he burned down a barn while he was making a scientific experiment. Most people know that what a great scientist Edison became. His 6,000 inventions included the electric light bulb, the photograph, and the mimeograph machine(油印机)。
