课时跟踪练(一) Welcome to the unit & Reading——Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解AIf the earth's population is in growth at this rate, there will not be enough resources. By the middle of the 21st century, if present trends continue, we will have used up all the oil that drives our cars, for example. Even if scientists develop new ways of feeding the human race, the crowded conditions on the earth will make it necessary for us to look for open space somewhere else. But none of the other planets in our solar system are capable of supporting life at present. One possible solution to the problem, however, has recently been suggested by American scientist, Professor Carl Sagan.Sagan believes that before the earth's resourcesare completely exhausted it will be possible tochange the atmosphere of Venus and so create a newworld almost as large as the earth itself. Thedifficulty is that Venus is much hotter than the earthand there is only a tiny amount of water there.Sagan proposes that algae organisms (海藻有机体) that can live in extremely hot or cold atmospheres and at the same time produce oxygen, should be bred in condition similar to those on Venus. As soon as this has been done, the algae will be placed in small rockets. Spaceship will then fly to Venus and fire the rockets into the atmosphere. In a fairly short time, the algae will break down the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon.When the algae have done their work, the atmosphere will become cooler, but before man can set foot on Venus it will be necessary for the oxygen to produce rain. The surface of the planet will still be too hot for man to land on but the rain will eventually fall and in a few years something like the earth will be reproduced on Venus.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

Austerity was a fashion in England at the time, and she had asked her children to serve the meal. She knew that anything could happen ... and it did, just as her son, with the studied concentration of a tight rope walker, brought in a large roast turkey; he successfully elbowed the swinging dining-room door, but the back bird dropped onto the dining-room floor.The boy stood rooted, the guests staring at their plates.

There are stories that he often helped children in need. Many years after his death, Nicholas was made a saint (圣人). Then he became the patron saint (守护神) of children.The story of Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) began in the 4th century. By all accounts Saint Nicholas was a generous man, particularly devoted to children. After his death around 340 A.D. he was buried in Myra, but in 1087 Italian sailors stole his remains and removed them to Bari, Italy, greatly increasing Saint Nicholas’ popularity throughout Europe.His kindness and fame for generosity gave rise to stories that he could work wonders. Saint Nicholas became the patron saint of Russia, where he was known by his red cape (披肩), flowing white beard, and bishop’s cap. In Greece, he was the patron saint of sailors; in France he was the patron saint of lawyers, and in Belgium the patron saint of children and travelers. Thousands of churches across Europe were devoted to him and around the 12th century an official church holiday was created to honor him. The Feast of Saint Nicholas was celebrated on December 6 and the day was marked by gift-giving.After the religion reform, European followers of Saint Nicholas dwindled, but the legend was kept alive in Holland where the Dutch changed his name to Sinterklaas. Dutch children would leave their wooden shoes by the fireplace, and Sinterklaas would reward good children by placing treats in their shoes. Dutch colonists (殖民者) brought this tradition with them to America in the 17th century and there the British name of Santa Claus came about.36. From Paragraph 2 we can infer that .A. Saint Nicholas was a generous manB. no one knew Saint Nicholas in Europe before 1087C. the remains of Saint Nicholas are still in Italy todayD. Saint Nicholas lived in Italy before he came to Turkey37. The image of Santa Claus first formed in the story of .A. AmericaB. BritainC. ItalyD. Russia38. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The Feast of Saint Nicholas was decided by the government.B. Saint Nicholas is the most popular among the sailors in Italy.C. In Europe children leave wooden shoes for Christmas gifts.D. During the church holiday people can get gifts from the church.BOn Monday, December 10, Google Doodle(涂鸦) celebrated the 197th anniversary of the birth of Ada Lovelace. She is regarded by some as the world’s first computer programmer. Lovelace believed machines could do more than just math. With the help of Charles Babbage, she created the first mathematical formula (公式) for a computer. Google Doodle tells people how Lovelace’s idea influenced the world.Google wrote on their official blog, “We hope today’s doodle can inspire people to find out more about Lovelace, and about the contributions made by women in general to science and technology.”Lovelace imagined what the world’s first computer would be like 100 years before it was built. Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815. Her father was a poet, and her mother was a mathematician. Her mother had her tutore d in science and math. Lovelace followed in her mother’s footsteps, at last becoming a mathematician herself.At 17, Lovelace became friends with Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University. Babbage told her his idea to design a computing machine. Babbage and Lovelace often wrote letters to each other about it after that. In 1843, Lovelace added details to an article describing the machine. She included step-by-step instructions on how the machine would work.While Babbage saw the machine as a calculator, Lovelace imagined a machine that could use symbols and rules to compute (计算) more than just math. She even wrote about it making music. Lovelace imagined that one day it would be possible to use a machine for an unlimited number of tasks. The only limitation would be the creativity of the user. The machine was not actually built until 1991. But Lovelace had imagined it nearly 100 years before that. It was the world’s first computer.Lovelace is one of the few female pioneers of the computer age. Google Doodle honors her by showing her vision (设想) from start to finish.39.

However, my oversharing habit makes me realize that I am not appreciating quiet moments in my life enough.I’ve been sharing pieces of my life online since I was sixteen years old.I think that we all think carefully when it comes to sharing our personal lives with the world.

When it starts to go bad or when you keep it for just a bit too long, there are many other ways you can still use your food instead of throwing it away. Surprisingly, it doesn’t have anything to do with eating it, either.Before throwing away old banana peel (果皮), use it to shine metals and leathers that you have. Rub the peel against the surface and then polish (擦亮) it with an old cloth. Bananas are also good for reducing wrinkles (皱纹). Put a bit on the wrinkles, let it sit for a while, and then wash it off, and your wrinkles will disappear. Lemons are great to lighten your skin and hair. If you have unpleasant scars, put a bit of fresh lemon juice on them and leave it ove rnight. You’ll notice a difference in the morning. Apples can be used to help ripen (使成熟) tomatoes quickly when the two fruits are placed together in a paper bag and orange peels are great fire starters.A piece of cold potato over your eyes can reduce redness on your eyelids. Mustard (芥末) can make you feel a lot better if you are suffering from a cold. If you use it to your chest under a wet towel, you’ll feel much better in no time. Butter can help you make all of those old necklaces shine again. If your dog or cat brings home fleas (跳蚤), using salt is a great way to get rid of them around the house. Just put some salt into the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器) and around the baseboards. Let it sit, and then vacuum the salt up. The salt kills the fleas. Be sure to throw away the vacuum bag or empty the vacuum bin immediately, otherwise some of the fleas can come back.Everyone knows the trick of using club soda to get dark dirty marks out of our clothes. Beer can lighten your hair. If you are out of lemons, try to put some beer on your hair before going outside. Just don’t forget to wash it out after you come back home. Milk is great to remove stains, especially if your stain is some type of ink. Just put some on the dirty mark and watch it disappear bit by bit.As you can see, there are so many other uses everyday foods have around the house. So next time, before you throw any food away, just stop for a moment and think about all their uses mentioned here.46.
