In the United States a large number of people aged 25 to 40 get tattoos. A third of all Americans between 18 and 25 have a tattoo. In Britain a fifth of all adults are tattooed. Tattooing has become an important industry as well. Today, there are more than 50,000 tattoo artists in the US alone.Even famous people such as Angelina Jolie and David Beckham have some kindof tattoo on their bodies. According to researchers many people tattoo themselves as a sign of individuality (共性). They want to express themselves and show others who they are. Other forms of body art are also on the rise.Today, tattoos are widely accepted in society. That hasn't always been the case. Tattoos used to be connected with criminals (罪犯), lower class people or certain groups like sailors and motorcycle gangs. While tattooing was once only for men, more and more women are now getting tattoos.Tattooing goes way back in history. In many parts of the world, people used tattoos for different purposes. The ancient Romans tattooed their slaves. Native Americans tattooed themselves as a sign of bravery. In Nazi Germany Jews were marked with a number to tell who they were.Not only has tattooing itself become a big industry, but removing them is also on the increase. Many people just don't realize that a tattoo lasts forever, and at some time in their lives they may want to get rid of it. The cost of tattooing yourself usually depends on how large the tattoo is or how complex (简单的) it is. Prices are usually from a hundred to over a thousand dollars.【文章大意】本文是说明文。

课时作业(一) 必修第一册Unit 1 Back to schoolⅠ.阅读理解A[2023·武汉市部分学校调研]When I was a kid, if someone told me that I would grow up to become a published author and founder of a youth literacy (读写能力) foundation, I would have laughed and kept walking. Even now when I see the title of my latest picture book, My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World, I shake my head, not quite believing that the book has my name on it. But the truth is, this story comes from my own personal experience.It took me a very long time to find my personal reading voice. In Valdosta, where I grew up, my community promoted two pathways to a better life for little boys like me: being an athlete or being an entertainer. I was no different than the other kids, so I did what felt natural: play football and overlook school. School presented challenges every day and so did football practice, but overcoming physical adversity (逆境) was on trend with my neighborhood's culture. Reading books was not so much.Fortunately, I went to college. That's where my reading struggles really reared__their__ugly__head. Trips to the grocery store were stressful because there was so much reading involved in the simple act of buying food. I would misread labels and grab the wrong items. Once, I picked up applesauce thinking it was apple slices.I didn't notice my mistake until I got home and realized that it was my inability to understand the differences in the wording on the labels that caused the mistake.I realized that I needed to make an important decision. If I wanted to be a better version of me, I had to become a stronger reader.I joined a book club and read every free moment I had. My journey with reading also created a desire in me to inspire others who struggled with reading. So I started a nonprofit, Share the Magic Foundation, trying to transform the lives of children living in underserved communities through literacy.1．What does the author think of his new book?A．It's beyond his expectations.B．It's helpful for youth literacy.C．It's full of humor and wisdom.D．It's an exact record of his early life.2．What was the root reason for the author's failure to find his reading voice?A．The influence of his community.B．His dream to be an entertainer.C．The challenges he met in study.D．His preference for football.3．What does the underlined phrase “reared their ugly head” in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Changed. B．Concluded.C．Surfaced. D．Disappeared.4．Which of the following can best describe the author?A．Reflective and warm­hearted.B．Persuasive and absent­minded.C．Creative and stubborn.D．Ambitious and cautious.B[2023·山东省青岛第二中学高三模拟]What kind of people can become scientists? When a group of researchers posed that question to ninth­and 10th­graders, almost every student gave such responses as “People who work hard” or “Anyone who seems interested in the field of science.”Many of these same students struggled to imagine themselves as scientists, citing concerns such as “I'm not good at science” and “Even if I work hard, I will not do well.” It's easy for them to see a scientist's work as arising from an inborn talent.But for high school students, learning more about some struggles of scientists can help students feel more motivated to learn science. Researchers at Teachers College, Columbia University and the University of Washington designed an intervention to change students' beliefs that scientific achievement depends on ability rather than effort by exposing students to stories of how accomplished scientists struggled and overcame challenges in their scientific efforts.During the study, the students read one of three types of stories about Albert Einstein, Marie Curie and Michael Faraday. Intellectual(智力的)struggle stories: stories about how scientists “struggled intellectually，” such as making mistakes while addressing a scientific problem and learning from them. Life struggle stories: stories about how scientists struggled in their personal lives, such as not giving up in the face of poverty or lack of family support. Achievement stories: stories about how scientists made great discoveries, without any discussion of coexisting challenges.Researchers found that studen ts who heard either type of “struggle stories” improved their science performance after intervention, compared to students in the control group. The effect was especially pronounced for lower performing students, for whom exposure to struggling stories led to significantly better science­class performance than low­performing students who read achievement stories. In addition, students who read struggle stories reported feeling more personally connected to the scientists. By recognizing a scientist's struggles and introducing the growth mindset he or she applied to accomplish great works, the students were able to empathize(共情)with the scientists during their own struggles.5．Why do students fail to imagine themselves as scientists?A．They lack interest in science.B．They are short of confidence.C．They don't have inborn talent.D．They have no ability to study science.6．What's the purpose of the intervention?A．To introduce some inspirational stories to students.B.To expose students to scientists' great achievements.C．To ensure students will become scientists in the future.D.To clear students' misunderstandings of scientific work.7．The underlined word “pronounced” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________．A．minimal B．noticeableC．doubtful D．long­lasting8．What can we learn from the research?A.Science ability has nothing to do with efforts.B.Students are more motivated by achievement stories.C.Scientists' struggle stories can influence readers' beliefs.D．Low­performing students tend to feel connected to scientists.[答题区]Ⅱ.完形填空[2023·山东省潍坊市高三模拟]I was having a hard time trying to find work.

Unit 5 Music【导语】音乐是人类最秀丽的语言。

一起走近不同的音乐表现形式吧！MusicThere are two important kinds of music in the world—one is written down and the other is not.Many people earn their living by writing music.They write songs for pop stars and music for films and TV plays.They usually write exact instructions how the music is to be played.Folk music has been passed down from one generation to another.At first it was never written down.People learnt the songs from their families，relatives，neighbours and friends in the same village.These songs were about country life，the seasons，animals and plants，and about love and sadness in people's lives.Early performers used to learn hundreds of songs by heart.At festivals they used to act and sing in praise of heroes who lived long ago.This was at a time when there was no radio，TV or cinema.Many of the country people could neither read nor write.In this way stories were passed on from one person to another.This continues in some countries even today.In some parts of the world nowadays，you often see musicians performing in the streets to passers －by.They put a cap on the ground in front of them，so that people who like the music can drop coins into it.In Africa most music is folk music.It plays an important part in people's lives，especially at festivals and weddings，when people dance all night long.Indian music is not written down.There is a basic pattern of notes which the musicians follow.But a lot of modern music is also written.India produces more films than any other country in the world.It produces musicals too，that is，films with music，and millions of records are sold every year.Jazz was born in the USA around 1890.It came from work songs sung by black people and had its roots in Africa.Jazz started developing in the 1920s in the southern states.Soon it was played by white musicians，too，and reached other parts of the USA.【词海拾贝】1．instruction n．指示；说明2．relative n．亲戚；亲属3．passer－by n．过路人4．pattern n．模式5．musical n．音乐喜剧【问题思考】阅读短文，推断正(T)误(F)。

课时作业18Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·成都外国语学校高三模拟)Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is, not surprisingly, his sense of humor. As far as I can tell, he's the first American President to have one.That's because the term “sense of humor” really wa sn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies. In the eighteen-forties and fifties, it was called “the sense of the ridiculous”，and didn't have the positive connotations(隐含意义)that “sense of humor” has today. Back then, what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule(讥笑). Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand. Of course, they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well.Lincoln's humor was very different, because, for one thing, it was actually “humor”as what the word meant in hi s time. We don't make the distinction between “wit(风趣)”and “humor” anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did. Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic. It's the difference we note now when we distinguish between “laughing with” and “laughing at”. Lincoln was much more about “laughing with” than “laughing at”. And when “laughing at”，it was often himself he was teasing.In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates, when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced, Lincoln replied, referencing his plain looking, “Honestly, if I were two-faced, would I be showing you this_one？”And, in a way, Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor.You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians, soldiers, and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile.True, the long exposures(曝光)required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult. Yet Lincoln alone, as far as I can tell, overcame that difficulty.Interestingly, while having a sense of humor, or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time, in the nineteenth century, too much humor was considered problem. And that was the case for Lincoln. A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that “I could not take a real personal liking to the man, owing to an inborn weakness... that he was extremely fond of jokes, anecdotes and stories.”1．We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ________.A．the American President could influence the use of EnglishB．the term “sense of humor” wasn't invented until the 1860sC．what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone elseD．the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time2．The underlined words “this one” in Paragraph 4 refer to “________”．A．Lincoln's unattractive faceB．Lincoln's sense of humorC．the debate they were havingD．cruelty that went with funniness3．We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because ________.A．being humorous was considered inappropriateB．they found it quite funny to smile before cameraC．not smiling for photographs was the fashionD．photography technology then was not advanced4．What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates?A．His comment accurately reflected his time.B．He created a false picture of Lincoln.C．He was prejudiced and self-centered.D．He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness.答案与解析本文主要介绍了林肯的幽默。

Please come and join us.National Theatre of China Beijing|ChineseThis great occasion(盛会) will be the National Theatre of China’s first visit to the UK. The company’s productions show the new face of 21st century Chinese theatre. This production of Shakespeare’s Richard III will be directed by the National’s Associate Director，Wang Xiaoying.Date & Time : Saturday 28 April,2.30pm & Sunday 29 April,1.30pm & 6.30pmMarjanishvili Theatre Tbilisi | GeorgianOne of the most famous theaters in Georgia,the Marjanishvili,founded in 1928,appears regularly at theatre festivals all over the world. This new productionof It is helmed（指导）by the company’s Artistic Director Levan Tsuladze.Date & Time :Friday 18May,2.30pm & Saturday 19May,7.30pmDefinitely Theatre London | British Sign Language （BSL）By translating the rich and humourous text of Love’s Labour’s Lost into the physical language of BSL,Definitely Theatre creates a new interpretation of Shakespeare’s comedy and aims to build a bridge between deaf and hearing worlds by performing to both groups as one audience.Date & Time : Tuesday 22 May,2.30pm & Wednesday 23 May,7.30pmHabima National Theatre Tel Aviv | HebrewThe Habima is the centre of Hebrew-language theatre worldwide ,Founded in Moscow after the 1905 revolution, the company eventually settled in Tel Aviv in the late 1920s,Since 1958, they have been recognised as the national theatre of Israel .This production of Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice marks their first visit to the UK.BI first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studi o didn’t want me for the film - it wanted somebody as well known as Paul - he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other - but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.We shared the bel ief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he withhis Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul an d I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.I last saw him a few months ago.

The vehicle-named the Transition – has two seats，four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet foreight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and bums 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon.Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000.And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway.Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards.Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago tocreate a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those pilots of larger planes Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet.28.

Wh at is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car?A. CautiousB. Favorable.C. Ambiguous.D. Disapproving.31. What is the best title for the text?A. Flying Car at Auto ShowB. The Tra nsition’s Fist FlightC.Pilots’Dream Coming TrueD. Flying Car Closer to RealityDWhen a leafy plant is under attack ，it doesn’t sit quietly. Back in 1983,two scientists,Jack Schultz and IanBaldwin,reported that young maple trees getting bitten by insects send out a particular smell that neighboring plants can get. These chemicals come from the injured parts of the plant and seem to be an alarm.What the plants pump through the air is a mixture of chemicals known as volatile organic compounds,VOCs for short.Scientists have found that all kinds of plants give out VOCs when being attacked .It’s a plant’s way of crying out.But is anyone listening?Apparently.Because we can watch the neighbours react.Some plants pump out smelly chemicals to keep insects away.But others do double duty .They pump out perfumes designed to attract different insects who are natural enemies to the attackers.Once they arrive,the tables are turned .The attacker who was lunching now becomes lunch.In study after study,it appears that these chemical conversations help the neighbors .The damage is usually more serious on the first plant,but the neighbors ,relatively speaking ,stay safer because they heard the alarm and knew what to do.Does this mean that plants talk to each other?Scientists don’t know. Maybe the first plant just made a cry of pain or was sending a message to its own branches, and so, in effect, was talking to itself. Perhaps the neighbors just happened to “overhear” the cry. So informa tion was exchanged, but it wasn’t a true, intentional back and forth.Charles Darwin, over 150 years ago, imagined a world far busier, noisier and more intimate(亲密的) than the world we can see and hear. Our senses are weak. There’sa whole lot going on.32. What does a plant do when it is under attack?A. It makes noises.B. It gets help from other plants.C. It stands quietlyD. It sends out certain chemicals.33. What does the author mean by “the tables are turned” in paragraph 3?A. The attackers get attacked.B. The insects gather under the table.C. The plants get ready to fight back.D. The perfumes attract natural enemies.34.Scientists find from their studies that plants can .A.predict natural disastersB.protect themselvesagainst insectsC.talk to one another intentionallyD.help their neighbors when necessary35.what can we infer from the last paragraph?A.The word is changing faster than ever.B.People have stronger senses than beforeC.The world is more complex than it seemsD.People in Darwin’s time were more imaginative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2.3.3 ·课时作业读图，椭圆表示地球上的气压带，箭头表示水平气压梯度力。

据此回答1～2题。

1．b气压带的名称是()A．赤道低气压带B．副热带高气压带C．副极地低气压带D．极地高气压带2．当图示区域位于南半球时，a地所在风带及风向是()A．低纬信风带东南B．低纬信风带东北C．中纬西风带西南D．中纬西风带西北1～2.【解析】本题组考查气压带和风带的分布。

第1题，由水平气压梯度力方向可知，b应为高压。

极地高气压的水平气压梯度力方向仅指向一个气压带——副极地低压，图示b高气压带指向两个气压带，因此b为副热带高气压带。

第2题，a气流由高压流向低压，图示区域位于南半球，a处箭头所指方向是赤道地区，因此a是低纬度东南信风带。

【答案】 1.B 2.A读图，回答3～4题。

3．若图示为三圈环流中的低纬环流，则下列说法错误的是()A．a气压带控制的区域干燥B．b气压带的成因为热力因素C．图示为北半球的低纬环流D．Q地位于信风带4．若图示地区在北半球，则下列说法正确的是()A．a为副热带高压带B．b气压带影响下气候干燥C．Q地盛行东北风D．该环流属于高纬环流3～4.【解析】本题组考查对三圈环流的判读。

第3题，低纬环流中，a处气流下沉，则为动力成因的副热带高压，b为热力成因的赤道低压，Q为信风带。

副热带高压(a)控制区域炎热干燥。

结合指向标，赤道低压带在副热带高压带北侧，说明是南半球的低纬度环流圈。

第4题，a处气流下沉，一定是高气压带；b处气流上升，为低气压带。

该地位于北半球，图中低压b位于高压a北侧，因此a一定是副热带高压带，b一定是副极地低压带，图示环流为北半球中纬环流，Q地盛行西南风。

副极地低气压带控制区降水较多。

【答案】 3.C 4.A读世界局部季风示意图，回答5～6题。

5．全球季风气候最典型的地区分布在()A．亚洲东部和南部B．北美洲东部C．欧洲西部D．澳大利亚西部6．P气压中心是()A．副热带高压B．蒙古高压C．亚速尔低压D．亚洲低压5～6.【解析】本题组考查季风气候和北半球冬、夏气压中心。

Our town is very old but all the streets are quite narrow, so there is no room for bus lanes, which mean that buses always get stuck in the traffic jams, too.

What we all know, a good learning environment is of greatly importance if we want to study English well. Classes teaching in English provide students for a better environment. When English is an only language in class, students will have more opportunity to practise listening and speaking. However, there were problems with this method. Sometimes we may find difficult to follow the teacher and some slow learners may even give up learn English. In spite of these difficulties, but I believe practice makes perfect. With enough practice, we canovercome the difficulties and benefit from English classes in the long run.答案I prefer my English classes to be taught in English only.

课时作业2Ⅰ.阅读理解Have you ever found yourself in this situation: You hear a song you used to sing when you were a child—a bit of nostalgia(怀旧) or “blast from the past，” as we say. But it is not a distant childhood memory. The words come back to you as clearly as when you sang them all those years ago.Researchers at the University of Edinburgh studied the relationship between music and remembering a foreign language. They found that remembering words in a song was the best way to remember even one of the most difficult languages.Here is what they did. Researchers took 60 adults and randomly divided them into three groups of 20. Then they gave the groups three different types of “listen-and-repeat” learning conditions. Researchers had one group simply speak the words. They had the second group speak the words to a rhythm, or beat. And they asked the third group to sing the words.All three groups studied words from the Hungarian language for 15 minutes. Then they took part in a series of language tests to see what they remembered.Why Hungarian, you ask? Researchers said they chose Hungarian because not many people know the language. It does not share any roots with Germanic or Romance languages, such as Italian or Spanish. After the tests were over, the singers came out on top. The people who learned these new Hungarian words by singing them showed a higher overall performance. They did the best in four out of five of the tests. They also performed two times better than those who simply learned the words byspeaking them.Dr. Katie Overy says singing could lead to new ways to learn a foreign language. The brain likes to remember things when they are contained in a catchy 3, or memorable 4, tune 5.Dr. Ludke said the findings could help those who struggle to learn foreign languages. On the University of Edinburgh's website Dr. Ludke writes, “This study provides the first experimental evidence that a listen-and-repeat singing method can support foreign language learning, and opens the door for future research in this area.”1．The “song” mentioned in the first paragraph is intended to ________.A．recall the pastB．attract the readersC．introduce the topicD．compare the childhood with the present2．According to the passage which language doesn't share the same root with Germanic or Romance languages?A．Hungarian. B．Spanish.C．Italian. D．English.3．Based on the last two paragraphs, we can conclude that ________.A．singing is the best way to learn a languageB．the brain probably works best when the foreign language learners sing the wordsC．a listen-repeat method is very effective for any language learner D．Dr. Katie Overy and Dr. Ludke disagree with each other4．In which situation can the finding of the research be applied?A．A mother is going to teach her baby how to speak.B．A child is going to have his first music lesson.C．A student is going to learn a new English song.D．An American is going to learn some Chinese.答案与解析本文讲述的是一项关于音乐和外语学习之间关系的研究。

课时作业27Ⅰ.阅读理解(2017·湖北省枣阳市白水高中月考)Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. Whitman received most of his education outside of the classroom. At the age of eleven, he worked in a law office as an office boy where he became interested in reading. He was soon reading the works of famous authors like William Shakespeare and Homer, and was well on his way to becoming one of America's most well-known poets.By the time Whitman was seventeen years old, he had already worked as a printer's learner, a worker, and a teacher. Though he disliked teaching, he excelled in the profession, developing a friendly relationship with his students; he even allowed them to adress him by his first name. He also developed fresh teaching techniques and learning games to help his students with spelling and maths. In his early twenties, however, he gave up teaching to pursue (追求) a full-time career as a journalist and poet.When Walt Whitman first appeared as a poet, his arrival onto the American literary scene was met with controversy. His first collection of poems, Leaves of Grass, was so unusual that no commercial publisher would print the work. In 1855 Whitman published, at his own expense, the first edition of his collection of twelve poems.Whitman's poetic style was uncommon in the sense that he wrote poems in a form called parallelism (对句法), in which his goal was to copy the flow of the sea and the quickly-passing nature of human emotion. A common theme in Whitman's poetry is self-realization. In his work, Whitman moves from conventional patterns of rhyme to create a unique rhythm and a multi-layered, but truly American voice.“Although Whitman was considered a revolutionary by many, there is little doubt he loved his country deeply.” In his writing, he used slang (俚语) and various images, or voices, to create a sense of national unity.For Whitman, the “proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it.” Whitman has undoubtedly become a part of the cultural history and image of America.1．Paragraph 2 mainly talks about ________.A．Whitman's educationB．Whitman's early careerC．how Whitman became a poetD．why Whitman's poems were popular2．When Whitman first appeared as a poet, ______.A．he received a warm welcomeB．his literary road was not easyC．he became famous for his unusual styleD．his poetic style was copied by other poets3．What was Whitman's greatest literary contribution?A．He expressed human emotion in his writing.B．He showed that flow of the sea in his poems.C．He used slang to show his love for his country.D．He created a unique rhythm and an American voice.答案与解析本文讲述的是Whitman作为诗人所做出的贡献。
