Project.They represented the usual range：two were close to dropping out before they started the project，while others were honors students.Their guidance teacher was their adviser，consulting with them when the group encountered difficulties.Though they sought advice from English，math and science teachers，they were responsible for monitoring one another’s work and giving one another feedback.There were no grades，but at the end of the term，the students wrote evaluations of their classmates.The students also designed their own course.In addition to some regular courses，they each took on an “individual project”，learning to play the piano or to cook，writing a novel or making a video about domestic (国内的) violence.At the end of the term，they performed their new skills in front of the entire school.The last part of their self-designed course was to do a “collective project” that had social significance.Because they felt the whole experience had been so life-changing，they ended up making a film showing how other students could start and run their own schools.The project was a success.After returning to their traditional study，the students have high motivation and are doing well.One student who had failed all of his previous math courses spent three weeks teaching the others about probability.The lesson learned here is that if students are given the opportunity to take control or contribute significantly to their own learning they will become more accomplished，more engaged and more knowledgeable.The students in the project are remarkable because they demonstrate the kinds of learning and personal growth that are possible when teenagers feel ownership of their high school experience，learn things that matter to them and learn together.1．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Some students might drop out of high school.B．The teachers monitored the students’ homework.C．The students themselves solved all their problems.D．The teachers evaluate the students’ performances.2．The students involved in the Independent Project ________.A．didn’t need to learn common lessonsB．tended to escape from the whole societyC．were unwilling to share their experiencesD．focused on self-study and working together3．According to Paragraph 4，we know that ________.A．the traditional study is better than the projectB．all the students had failed their math coursesC．the students have freedom to design their lessonsD．the project was mainly concerned with math courses4．The project made the students outstanding because ________.A．they are unusually talentedB．they have better backgroundsC．they have supportive teachersD．they are owners of their education5．What would be the best title of the text?A．Structure the kids’ days to the minuteB．Let kids rule their own school within a schoolC．Offer students few opportunities to do anythingD．Provide traditional education to the studentsUnit 4Astronomy：the science of the stars课时达标检测Ⅰ.语法和词汇知识1．【解析】选C。

They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrillingstories about their personal lives. Justimagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities — famous people — worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followedAlexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visitedAmerica in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain (抱怨)about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do somethingridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.20. It can be learned from the passage that stars today___________.A. are often misunderstood by the publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame21. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.22. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A. Availability of modern media.B. Inadequate social recognition.C. Lack of favorable chances.D. Huge population of fans.23. What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Skeptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.。
