Distances between them appear no greater to a modern traveler than those which once faced men as they walked from village to village. Jet planes fly people from one end of the earth to the other, allowing them a freedom of movement undreamt of a hundred years ago.Yet some people wonder if the revolution in travel has gone too far. A price has been paid, they say, for the conquest (征服) of time and distance. Travel_is_something_to_be_enjoyed,_not_endured (忍受). The boat offers leisure and time enough to appreciate the ever-changing sights and sounds of a journey. A journey by train also has a special charm about it. Lakes and forests and wild, open plains sweeping past your carriage window create a grand view in which time and distance mean nothing. On board a plane, however, there is just the blank blue of the sky filling the narrow windows of the airplane. The soft lighting, in-flight films and gentle music make up the only world you know, and the hours progress slowly.Then there is the time spent being ‘processed’at a modern airport. People are conveyed like robots along walkways; baggage is weighed, tickets produced, examined and produced yet again before the passengers move to another waiting area. Journeys by rail and sea take longer, yes, but the hours devoted to being ‘processed’ at departure and arrival in airports are luckily absent.No wonder, then, that the modern high-speed trains are winning back passengers from the airlines.Man, however, is now a world traveler and cannot turn his back on the airplane. The working lives of too many people depend upon it; whole new industries have been built around its design and operation. The holidaymaker, too, with limited time to spend, patiently endures the busy airports and the limited space of the flight to gain those extra hours and even days, relaxing in the sun. Speed controls people's lives; time saved, in work or play, is the important thing—or so we are told. Perhaps those first horsemen, riding free across the wild, open plains, were enjoying a better world than the one we know today. They could travel at will, and the clock was not their master.16. What does the writer try to express in Paragraph 1?A. Travel by plane has speeded up the growth of villages.B. The speed of modern travel has made distances relatively short.C. The freedom of movement has helped people realize their dreams.D. Man has been fond of traveling rather than staying in one place.17. How does the writer support the underlined statement in Paragraph 2?A. By giving instructions.B. By analyzing cause and effect.C. By following the order of time.D. By giving examples.18. According to Paragraph 3, passengers are turning back to modern high-speed trains because________.A. they pay less for the ticketsB. they feel safer during the travelC. they can enjoy higher speed of travelD. they don't have to waste time being ‘processed’19. What does the last sentence of the passage mean?A. They could enjoy free and relaxing travel.B. They needed the clock to tell the time.C. They preferred traveling on horseback.D. They could travel with their master.20. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Air travel benefits people and industries.B. Train travel has some advantages over air travel.C. Great changes have taken place in modern travel.D. The high speed of air travel is gained at a cost.BYou're lost in the world of dreams and sleep. You roll over, smiling as you come across a swimming pool filled with chocolate. And then, your wonderful dream becomes a nightmare(噩梦) when someone is screaming, “Get up!”It's just what every teenager goes through each morning!Now, there seems to be one school that finally understands that requiring teens to show up at 9 am is not just cruel but also harmful to both the kids and the school.Monkseaton High School in North Tyneside, Britain, recently decided to experiment to see if there is any difference in student behavior if they just pushed back the start of their day by one hour, from 9 am to 10 am. And the results are surprising.Since carrying out the later start, Monkseaton has seen a 28% drop in truancy,_even hardly any lateness, and best of all, higher test scores. One of the reasons is that the teenagers are much happier to have the extra hour of sleep, but there is also a scientific reason behind why they need the extra sleep.The school's decision to push back the time was based on the research done by Oxford Professor Russell Foster, who pointed out that teenagers and adults have different sleep cycles,explaining why teenagers go to bed late and wake up late.While adults are wide awake and ready at 8 am, teenagers are not fully awake until 10 am, sometimes even noon. Teachers may argue that their students perform better in the morning, but in fact, it is because they are in the zone while their students are still sleepy, making the students easier to control.Memory tests prove that the more difficult classes should be in the afternoon when teenagers are most wide awake.The Monkseaton school officials are encouraged by the results and plan on voting to make it a permanent change.21.What's the meaning of the underlined word “truancy”?A.Grades. B.Classes.C.Absence. D.Practice.22.What can we learn from the passage?A.Teenagers and adults have the same sleep cycle.B.Teenagers are fully awake at 10 am as a whole.C.Teenagers are much happier to sleep than study.D.Teenagers need the extra sleep also for a scientific reason.23.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A.Monkseaton High School is satisfied with the result of the experiment.B.It is very cruel for the teenagers to show up in class at 9 am every day.C.Monkseaton High School plans to change the school time forever.D.In fact, teenagers perform better in the morning than in the afternoon.24.What's the best title for this passage?A.Get up early, teenagers!B.Finally, a school understands teenagersC.Why do teenagers stay up late?D.Differences between teens and adults课时作业(二十七)Ⅰ.1.A考查名词辨析。

wish they weren’t so stressful,busy and likely to knock your health goals off course?Of course,you do.However,carrying around extra weight and feeling stress are two sure-fire way s to harm your heart.So it’s fundamental to know how to ensure your holidays are enjoyable and stress-free without overeating,packing on the pounds or harming your heart.The first step you must take if you want to have a stress-free,fun-filled holiday season is to set your intentions for what you want your holidays to be e up with a plan of action byreviewing what went well and didn’t go well in the past.Next,consider what you’ll do differently this time around.How will you change so that you keep what’s good while getting rid of what’s bad about the holidays?Have a plan to free up time.A great way to do this is to first make a list of all the tasks you’re responsible for.Next,you should indicate which of these tasks you truly enjoy and which you don’t like at all.For any tasks you don’t like,think of a way to have someone else do them,put them off for another time like January,or just don’t do them at all.Now you have extra time to relax or do something you really enjoy.Use the painter’s pallet (调色板) approach while eating.For example,taste a little bit of each thing on the buffet table so you don’t feel deprived (缺少食物的).When you’ve done,decide which thing you thought tasted the absolutely best and go back to have a regular serving of that particular holiday food.Many people gain on average between 1 and 4 pounds each holiday season because of overeating.To eat less at holiday table,drink some water before meals to help the stomach feel fuller,thus decreasing the appetite.You also can chew the food properly and count to five before swallowing.Then wait another five seconds for the next bite.Not only will you be able to enjoy the taste of the dish better,you’ll also give the body more time to digest the food properly.答案根底落实Ⅰ.1.It was Bill who made a kite at

Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit〞,are awards given to people who work in specific areas of the film industry.Actors and directors,costume designers and songwriters,make-up artists and sound engineers,among others,all have the chance to win an Oscar.The awards themselves are small statuettes(小雕像),around 34cm tall and weighing just over .The golden statuettes are all the same—they show a man (with no clothes on!) holding a sword and standing on a reel of film.Sadly for the winner,the statue is not solid gold,but just gold plated.In actual value it is only worth around $250.However,although the statuette itself is not worth very much,winning one can be worth millions of dollars to the film studios.Winning an Oscar means that the world top film-makers like your work.It is the best publicity any film can get.If a film can have Academy Award Winner under its title,many more people will go to see it.The Academy was first formed in May 1927,and the awards have been given every year since then.This ceremony,when the awards are presented to the winners,is the highlight of the Hollywood calendar.It is the most glamorous(富有魅力的) and star-studded(星光灿烂的) evening of the whole year,and is shown on television in 90 countries around the world andwatched by over 500 million people.Everyone who is famous in the film world attends the awards ceremony.Most arrive in huge limousines (豪华轿车),wearing wonderful clothes.The Oscar ceremony is the one night when Hollywood really is as glamorous as it appears.For the first few years of the Academy,the Academy Awards themselves were simply called “The Statuettes〞.There are various stories which explain why they were at last given the nickname Oscars.The most popular is that the Academy librarian,Margaret Herrick,exclaimed when she saw the golden statuette,“He looks just like my Uncle Oscar!〞and the name stuck.Whatever the reason,it is certainly easier to say Oscar,than to say “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards of Merit〞,so the little golden man is now on a first name basis with everyone.1.The passage is really about ________.B.an award in the film industryC.an award ceremonyD.a famous film star,Oscar2.One story says that the Oscars are named after ________.A.Oscar HammersteinB.the man who invented themC.the Academy librarian’s uncleD.one of the Oscar winners3.The
