Learning these skills changed your life forever and opened up new horizons. Learning about computers can be like learning how to ride a bike or a car. Once you have investedthe time to master the skills, you will never go back to the old days. The new technology is simple too convenient and too powerful.Technological developments through the years have enabled us to do more with less effect. We have continuously looked for better ways of doing things. Each invention and new development has allowed us to extend our capabilities. Today we see one of the most dramatic technologies ever developed--- the computer. It extents the capabilities of our minds.Computers have saved organizations of dollars. Furthermore, these same computer systems have opened up new opportunities that would have gone undiscovered or neglected. The computer may multiply what we can do, and the return on investment is high. The growth of computer usage is surprising. On the other hand, the computer can do serious damage. Invasion of privacy, fraud , and computer---related mistakes are just a few shocking examples.The computer is like a double---edge sword. It has the ability to cut us free from some activities, but it can also cut deep into profits, personal privacy, and our society in general. How it is used is not a function of technology. It is strictly a function of how people decide to use or misuse this new technology. The choice is yours, and only through knowledge of computer system will you be able to avoid the dangers while enjoying the many, many benefits of the computer age.1, The writer thinks learning about computers is like learning how to ride a bike or drive a car because________A. it is simple and practicalB. it needs a lot of practicalC. it leads people to new life experienceD. it takes much time to master the skills2, According to the passage, computers bring people the following benefits except______A. avoiding mistakesB. saving moneyC. making moneyD. opening up opportunities3, According to the writer, the bad effects of computers can be avoided if we _______A. Have some knowledge of computer systemsB. Tell people not to misuse computersC. Have strict rules over the use of computersD. Make more investment in the technology4. This passage is probably written for_________A. computersB. computer producersC. computer learnersD. computer programmersBLet children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learning to do all thingslearn without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle or ride a bike . They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child chance to find his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word means, what the answer to that problem is, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time to such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.5, According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is _______A. listening to skilled people’s advice.B. asking older people many questions.C. making mistakes and having them corrected.D. doing what other people do.6, Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?A. Give children correct answers.B. Allow children to make mistakes.C. Point out children’s mistakes to them.D. Let children make their own work.7, According to the writer, teachers in school should________A. allow children to learn from each other.B. point our children’s mist akes whenever found.C. correct children’s mistakes as soon as possible.D. give children more book knowledge.8, The title of this passage could probably be _________A. Let Teachers Stop WorkB. Let Us Make Children LearnC. Let Children Correct Their ExercisesD. Let Children Learn by Themselves4，短文改错Boys and girls,It gives us a great pleasure to get together here withour guest from Australia.

capital city of Urumqi and Aksu，in the west.Sandstorms happen a lot in that area.They are fed by the deserts of Xinjiang andInner Mongolia.Powerful winds blow the sands toward Beijing and the eastern cities each spring.A sandstorm is a common natural disaster.It usually happens in deserts.Strong winds blow a huge amount of sand into the air.Sandstorms are so strong that they can blow you 1 to 1.5 meters away from where you were standing.Unlike some other disasters，sandstorms come with a warning.If you see the clouds with a dark brown color，that means there may be a sandstorm.Xinjiang is one of the areas where sandstorms happen most often，which results from a dry climate，vast desert and a strong wind.It is in northwestern China.Xinjiang has mountains on four sides.The Tianshan Mountains，which are in the middle，divide the land into two large basins(盆地)．Both basins have deserts in their centers.They are the source of sandstorms.The passes and valleys(山谷) between the mountains are the places where strong winds are likely to form.1．The underlined word “derail” most probably means “________”．A．come to an endB．crash into another trainC．come off the trackD．catch fire2．By saying the underlined sentence，the author may want to ________.A．warn us not to walk in sandstormsB．give us an example of a sandstormC．advise us to think of ways to reduce sandstormsD．tell us about the damage of sandstorms3．What is the main idea of the last but one paragraph?A．How a sandstorm happens.B．What a sandstorm is.C．Where a sandstorm happens.D．What causes a sandstorm.4．According to the last paragraph，the following factors contribute to a sandstorm EXCEPT the ________.A．dry climate B．strong windC．sand source D．black cloudBApart from speeches，in my point of view，we can use our eyes to expressourselves.And through one’s eyes，we can read sorrow，happiness，encouragement，and many other emotions.Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.Until now I still remember an experience，which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine.It was the power of my mother’s eyes that encouraged me to go for it.I had shown great interest in singing before that，but I was too shy to sing in public.So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest.With my mother’s company and encouragement，I was determined to meet that challenge.Standing on the stage，I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention.I got so nervous that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open.When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing，I became even more nervous.I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me—I couldn’t remember anything.Searching for help，I met my mother’s eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power.It seemed that they were speaking to me，“Take it easy.You can do it！I’ll always be with you！”I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song.When I came down from the stage，she came up to me，saying，“Great！I’m proud of you！” and gave me a big hug.At that moment，I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy.Sometimes，you see，just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave. 5．What’s the author’s purpose of telling us about her unforgettable experience?A．To prove that we can express ourselves through our eyes.B．To explain that our eyes are an important part of our body.C．To share her unforgettable experience with us.D．To tell us how she became brave.6．According to the passage we know that ________.A．the author wasn’t interested in the singing contest at allB．the author was nervous because she couldn’t see her motherC．the author didn’t do well in the singi ng contestD．the author got confidence from her mother’s eyes7．What does the underlined word “reveal” in the first paragraph mean?A．Give away.

It’s a scary story，” warned Jack.“Of course！” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of，you wouldn’t have chosen this place！”“OK，but don’t say I didn’t warn you，” said Jack，and he began his tale.“Way back in time，a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here.He built that cottage over there to live in.In those days，the area looked quite different—it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal­clear river.After three hard years，Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops.He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.”“‘You are clearing too much land，’ warned one old man.‘The land is a living thing.It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’”“‘Silly fool，’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land，I can grow more crops.I’ll become wealthier.He’s just jealous！’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees.Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed.He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door.He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land.He did not notice swamp plants choking all the native plants.”“What happened？” Martin asked.It was growing colder.He trembled，twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit ba ck—just as the old man warned，” Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared.Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater.His body was never found.”“What a stupid story，” laughed Tom.“Plants can’t...” Before he had finished speaking，he screamed and fainted(晕倒)．The other two boys jumped up with fright，staring at Tom.Suddenly，they burst out laughing.Some green swamp ivy(常春藤) had covered Tom’s face.It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.1．The underline d word “dare” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A．courage B．assistance C．instruction D．challenge 2．Why did Jack tell Tom and Martin the story?A．To frighten them.B．To satisfy their curiosity.C．To warn them of the danger of the place.D．To persuade them to camp in the swamp.3．Why did Dennis ignore the warning of the old man?A．The old man envied him.B．The old man was foolish.C．He was too busy to listen to others.D．He was greedy for more crops.4．Why did Tom scream and faint?A．He saw Dennis’s shadow.B．He was scared by a plant.C．His friends played a joke on him.D．The weather became extremely cold.答案基础落实Ⅰ.1.frightened frightening 2.inland 3.desertification 4．strength strengthenⅡ.1.sandstorm 2.frightening 3.mass 4.campaign 5．process 6.citizen 7.dust8.forecast 9.strength 10．maskⅢ.1.solve 2.was caught in 3.campaign 4.process 5．preventedⅣ.1.in the process of 2.was caught in 3.cutting down 4.masses of 5.one after another 6.as a result ofⅤ.1.is of help 2.enough to 3.good a meal 4．to have been kept5.because ofⅥ.1.A2．B 3．C 4．A 5．B 6．B 7．B 8．C 9．C 10．D能力提升1．D 2．B 3．D 4．BPeriod Two Integrating Skills基础落实Ⅰ.课文理解1．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A．All the countries in the world look after the environment well.B．Europe countries usually work hard to improve the environment.C．In Germany，people put different garbage into different bags.D．In many countries in Europe，people aren’t allowed to burn too much coal. 2．The “Green” movement aims at ________.A．improving the living conditionsB．putting different garbage into different bagsC．calling for people to burn little coalD．getting governments to think about the environment and look after it. 3．Which kind of garbage can’t be put into the bags?A．Paper.

Module4 Sandstorms in Asia 同步练习Ⅰ.单项填空1.Your suit is a bit small on you.You seem____weight.A.to put onB.being putting onC.putting onD.to have put on答案：D此题考查固定搭配和非谓语动词。

to have done sth.是动词不定式的完成式，它表示发生在谓语动词之前的动作，to have done sth.这一结构往往跟在seem，appear，happen〔碰巧〕，pretend等动词之后。

例如：The boy pretended to have fallen asleep when his father came back.〔他父亲回来时，那个男孩假装已经入睡。

〕seem后应接动词不定式，不可接动名词，所以B 和C不可选。

A和D两个不定式中选D，不选A，因为“to put on weight〞这个不定式动作发生在谓语动词seem之前，通常当非谓语动词这个动作发生在谓语动词之前，这个非谓语动词就要用完成式。

2.What ____did Tom play when he played football yesterday?A.partB.situationC.placeD.position答案：D此题考查了近义名词的用法区别。

这几个选项指局部、环境、地方和位置，意思接近，但根据踢足球这项运动，应该指踢的位置，应当选D。

3.The chair looks rather hard，but in fact it is very comfortable to____.A.sitB.sit onC.be seatD.be sat on答案：B如果不定式为不与物动词，其后应有必要的介词。

当动词与介词连用时，常位于“形容词+动词不定式〞结构的末尾。

4.I____the truth of your remarks，although they go against my interests.A.cannot but admitB.cannot help but to admitC.cannot but admittingD.cannot help but admitting答案：A此题考查固定短语，can’t but 后加动词原形。
