Unit 3 Inventors and inventions[导语]谈起“发明”，我们脑中浮现的总是飞机、大炮、电脑等这些高科技产品。
而下面的几个小发明虽然与高科技毫不沾边，但却同样能为我们的生活带来极大便利。
Ideas for creating a small inventionA small invention can do big things when it comes to making a task easier to do.When looking for a small invention idea，start by checking your kitchen drawers and cabinets.Is there something you need to help you in a task? Look in the bathroom and see if you can improve on the way something works.If you can create an item that does a job around the house, you have a small invention of your own.KitchenDinner plates have not changed in centuries except for the different materials used to make them.When you need to store leftover dinners，you usually wrap them in aluminum foil and plastic wrap.Dinner plate covers would save money and look much neater than the usual disposable covers.A spaghetti drainer flexible enough to fit inside a pot would be a tool every cook would have in stock.You would be able to take the pasta out of the boiling water and drain it at the same time，saving the cook from picking up a heavy pot of boiling water.BathroomA bathroom toilet paper dispenser that has an extra roll readywill solve the problem of running out of the necessary tissue paper.This can offer a rescue when your inconsiderate family member has emptied the toilet paper roll.[词海拾贝]1．cabinet n．贮藏柜，陈列柜2．aluminum foil铝箔3．drainer n．过滤器4．dispenser n．自动取物器[问题思考]判断正误(T/F)。
Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解A(2018辽宁五校联考)A research has shown that nearly 90 percent of traffic accidents are caused by human errors.So our aim is a fully autonomous (自动的) car that gets rid of the cause of most accidents:the driver.Researcher Hodgson points out, “For safety,the faster you can remove humans,the better,even if there are unfortunately a few accidents from new causes.It’s a question of balancing the number injured or killed by autonomous vehicles with the people whose lives are potentially saved.”It’s an idea that Elon Musk, chief executive of electric car company Tesla Motors,has long believed. His company is determined to be the first to deliver a fully autonomous vehicle to consumers. Last year, Musk announced that Tesla’s 2017 goal was “to do an example drive of full autonomy all the way from L.A. to New York... and have the car park itself.”However, even Tesla admits that there are problems to overcome—the software needs further validation (批准生效) and the appropriate regulatory approval needs to be in place.Indeed, recent crashes of Tesla vehicles and Google cars confirm that the software isn’t ready yet.The U.K. government appears committed to encouraging the development of autonomous vehicles.It’s supporting four city trials, publishing the Modern Transport Bill to reduce red tape around their introduction and adapting the legal system to take into account problems such as insurance liability when a human isn’t in control of a vehicle.The insurance industry is similarly eager to help increase autonomy in cars. As the Association of British Insurers (ABI) points out,“Nearly 90 percent of road accidents are caused by human errors.” This costs motor insurers a shocking ￡ 20 million per day in claims.1.What difficulty does the company Tesla Motors have?A.New inventions may cause more injuries and deaths.B.The company lacks confidence to make new creations.C.The software should be made officially acceptable.D.The traffic regulation has proved unreasonable.2.What is the U.K. government’s attitude to autonomous cars?A. Ambiguous.B. Positive.C. Cautious.D. Disapproving.3.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Insurance companies would like to support autonomous cars.B.Human mistakes may be the key cause of traffic accidents.C.Traffic accidents waste insurance companies quite a lot.D.Motorists are surprised to hear about autonomous cars.4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To show his deep love for autonomous cars.B.To introduce a new development in technology.C.To amuse readers with funny examples.D.To provide a persuasive argument against autonomy.语篇解读:研究表明近90%的交通事故主要是人为失误造成的。

课时作业(三十八)Ⅰ.阅读理解A few weeks ago when I got closer to the classroom I heard laughter and drumming－my students obviously thought they had a free period! As I entered the classroom，the drumming stopped.“Good morning，Miss，”they tried to sound happy to see me；their faces were delighted but I knew this was not for me.“What are you all doing？”“Nothing，Miss.”Guilty eyes stared back at me.They pulled out books and sat and waited，but that_thing I had seen in their faces，that thing I had so hoped to bring with my teaching，that thing was slipping away now as they got ready for class.“Nothing? You were doing something.What？”There was quiet and I realized they thought I was angry.Eventually one of them said，“Columbus Day，Miss.You know，the day Columbus reached Trinidad with his ships.We are acting the Columbus Day play.”“Wait，you mean the same Columbus in the history? Christopher Columbus？”“Yes，Miss.”“But...well，we did that chapter in the book.You didn't answer my questions.”I felt my heart pounding hard.“Open the book，come，quick，”I was excited now.“Okay，so who is taking part in the play? Come to the front.Let's act out this play.”“Miss，you said to open the book.We're not going to read？”“I will read，you will act and you will drum and you will see how the chapter and the play work together.”The students stared at me as if I were crazy.“Miss，for real？”“Yes，for real！”Had I hit upon something here? There was something I hadn't seen before－these faces－excited，smiling，alive.These faces were what I dreamed of! One week later I gave the students the same questions on Columbus that few had passed the first time and this time more than halfthe class passed!From this experience，I came to recognize that books are enough for some students，but for others life，as they know，has little to do with what's in the book unless they see a corelation.1．What were the students doing when the author got closer to the classroom?A．They were having a break.B．They were acting a play.C．They were throwing a party.D．They were reading history books.2．What does “that thing” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A．Guilt and regrets.B．Disappointment.C．Interest and passion.D．Satisfaction.3．What did the author ask the students to do in the class?A．Perform a play about Columbus.B．Retell the story of Columbus Day.C．Read one chapter in the book aloud.D．Answer questions based on the book.4．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Think Outside the BookB．An Unforgettable ExperienceC．Education－the Key to IgnoranceD．A Special Celebration of Columbus Day答案：[解题导语]学生们的学习不仅仅在于课本，通过活动把生活与书本联系起来或许会让孩子们表达出自己的兴趣和热情，展露发自内心的笑容。
