Unit 3 Life in the futureⅠ.阅读理解A(2018·潍坊商务模拟)My main career has been in information technology: I was “the puter guy”. Where I live in remote northern Minnesota, good tech jobs were rare.Then I got divorced and found myself a single mother with two sons in school. Without a permanent job working on puters, I was concerned about my family's future. So I sat down with my sons to discuss whether we should move to where the higherpaying jobs are. But we decided to stay and I'd go back to college for more training, even though it meant we'd be living on less.While I work toward an education degree, I have bee what's called a Promise Fellow in a local middle school. Among the “promises” we make at the start of each school year is that the students will have a caring adult in their life, no matter what. My fellow “Fellows” and I don't teach. We do what's called “wholelife support” because our students need more than just academics to succeed.Why? Their lives aren't easy. The remote counties I live and work in have experienced a huge downturn in the primary industry of iron mining. The poverty (贫困) experienced by my students and their families is often worsened by mental health problems, plus drug and alcohol abuse.With our attention, the students feel supported, Most of the kids have a lot of abilities and are smarter than they give themselves credit for. We take them to college campuses and get them to visualize their future.I had worked with two students in our 2016 graduating class at Northern Lights Community School. Both are going to college this fall. These are the same kids who laughed at me when I first mentioned college to them, so I know I've played a role in their lives.文章大意本文是一篇记叙文。

My main responsibilities (职责) were . 19tables and washing dishes, 20 sometimes I helped cook.Every day after school I would 21 to JM's and work until ten. Even on SaturdaysI 22 from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 23 myfriends run off to swim or play. I didn't necessarily like work, but I loved whatworking 24 me to have .

It sometimes means to make a calculation (计算) about thefuture, which is based not on exact data but on past experience. This kind of estimatehas some basis, but it generally has to be changed and corrected later.When you estimate a number, a size, a temperature or a weight, you do not countthings one by one or use a measuring tool. You look at a group of things withoutcounting them and try to get a rough, general idea of their number, you try to weighsomething in your hand instead of on a balance. You feel hot and say "My temperaturemust be 38 degrees" or you look at a room and say that you estimate its area as 10X8feet.But in many situations in ordinary life we do not have time to measure thingsand must depend on estimates. Drivers do not have time to measure the distance betweentheir own car and a car which is ing near. They must guess it; the guess or estimatewill be based on their past experience Experienced cooks do not trouble to measurethe amount of salt they put into the soup or sugar they mix with flour.Suppose a man es into the house and says "There are two inches of snow on theroad", his statement is only an estimate, but we believe it because we think thatit is roughly correct. We put our boots on before we go into the snow.For practical purposes in some situations it is safe to make estimates ofquantity, but in other situations it is obviously dangerous. If it is your job toweigh drugs or make airplanes, do not depend on guessing but use an accurate instru-ment.36. In our daily life the estimate of a value or an amount is usually made________.A. by further dataB. by instrumentsC. by countingD. according to one's past experience37. According to the passage, measuring instruments are not always used in measuringthings in everyday life because________.A. people generally do not carry them alongB. it is more convenient to guess than to measureC. they are not always ready when people need themD. a general idea of things is enough38. We can know from the man's statement on snow that________.A. he wants to inform people that it's snowing heavilyB. it is necessary to depend on estimatesC. his estimate is quite exactD. he has measured the level of the snow39. The writer thinks that depending on estimates________ .A. may save us both time and moneyB. may bring us a sense of safetyC. does not always keep us out of dangerD. is practical but dangerousBHuman's wants seem endless. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a man gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs and pleasure boats dance into view.The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.The first and most basic level of wants involves(包括) food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears; clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as cars and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 the third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the "life-enriching" level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction—the feeding, fort, safety, and transportation of the human body—these levels stress mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called "luxury" items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and entertainment. Also included fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a greater percentage of customers spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will customers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their ine increase, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by munity action. Customers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance (无知), crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes, our closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.40. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II most Americans_______.A. were very richB. lived in povertyC. had the good things on the first three levelsD. did not own cars41. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? ________ .A. More goodsB. More mental satisfactionC. More "luxury" itemsD. More earnings42. According to the writer, a fifth level________.A. would be little better than the fourth levelB. may be a lot more satisfying than the first fourC. can be the last and most satisfying levelD. will e about if the government takes actionsCThe decision to further all or part of your studies outside your country is a serious one, and one which for most students will have a special life-long benefit.

（新课标）2021-2021学年高中英语 Unit3 Life in the future测试题Class: Name: Marks: 总分值（120）第一部份阅读明白得（共两节，总分值40分）第一节（共15小题；每题2分，总分值30分）AMy favorite book that I’ve read is the well-known novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen. The novel is about a thirteen-year-old boy named Brian Robeson. He goes to meet his father in Canada, but when he’s in the plane heading for his father, something goes terribly wrong — the pilot of the plane gets a sudden heart attack. Brian is stranded (处于窘境) in the Canadian wilderness after the plane crashes, with only a hatchet (手斧) and the clothes on his back.As the plane goes down in the story, the risks ri se for Brian. That’s one reason why this book is so great. Gary Paulsen expl ains Brian’s troubles in simple words, but he also uses lots of those words to describe Brian’s troubles as well.One other reason is that it sparks (激发) your mind into reading or makes you start reading Gary Paulsen’s books. In this novel, the question is, “How will the main character survive?” So it’s obvious that this book is an adventure and a “man against nature” novel. As you have probably guessed, Brian suffers from hunger and searches for food and shelter. When Brian finds any kind of food, he feels as if he just found money in the street.The third reason why this book is so well thought of is the creativity Gary has put into Brian. Brian uses a lot of things in his surroundings in every way: a common stick can be a spear (矛) or an arrow.In a word, when you start this book, you won’t stop reading it until Brian is rescued. I feel that Gary Paulsen gave Brian Robeson life, and that’s what made Hatchet a great book.1. What challenge does Brian have to face?A. He can hardly keep himself warm.B. He is too young to protect himself.C. It’s very difficult to find food.D. He has no tools with him.2. What’s probably the ending of the story?A. The boy is found and saved.B. The boy fails to defeat difficulties.C. The boy manages to fly to his father.D. The boy lives in the wilderness forever.3. We can learn from the text that .A. the novel mainly tells us how to survive in the wildB. hatchet is the only thing that the pilot leaves to BrianC. Gary Paulsen saved Brian Robeson’s lifeD. the author thinks highly of the novelBThe most popular fashion trend (趋势) for 2012 is a modern reinvention of revival (从头流行) styles, particularly styles from the 1960s. This is mostly a result of recent TV shows. Many of the styles on sale look attractive on teenage girls.● Cat eye sunglassesCat eye sunglasses are one of the most fashionable sunglasses shapes for 2021. Cat eye sunglasses are those shaped wider along the top lenses (镜片) and narrower at the bottom. They will immediately make you look up to date with the 1960s revival.● Curve hugging dressesWhen you are young, your body is often in the best shape of your life. So it’s a great time to show it off. Stars like the Kardashian sisters have been making curve hugging dresses really popular. They may come in long sleeve styles if where you live is a little cool in autumn.● Ballet flat shoesBallet flat shoes are a great day-to-day style because they are always very comfortable to walk in. This season many printed styles are appearing in stores. Flower prints are some of the most popular looks.● Color block T-shirtsColor blocking was a trend that first appeared during the 1960s. It is characterized by the use of different solid colors in the one design broken up by lines. During the 1960s, color block dresses were particularly popular. A more modern style is the color block T-shirt. You will find styles which feature one color across the shoulders, another across the chest and yet another on the lower part of the T-shirt.4. The curve hugging dresses can make teenage girls .A. feel a little cold in autumnB. show off the shape of their bodyC. hide their body disadvantagesD. laugh at the Kardashian sisters’ similar dresses5. Which can best describe this year’s ballet flat shoes?A. They are of the printed style.B. They are seldom seen in shops.C. They are uncomfortable but cheap.D. There is nothing special with them.6. It can be inferred that this year’s fashion theme is based on .A. new materialsB. the stars’ lifestyleC. teens’ imagina tionD. elements in the 1960s7. In which part of a newspaper can we read the text?A. Art.B. News.C. Fashion.D. Education.CDroughts (干旱) are a common feature of the weather in the UK, with one around every 5 to 10 years on average. After 18 months since the drought began to hit the UK, most of the east and south-east of England is affected by drought. Luckily, a new water plant in Beckton, East London, is helping to ease the drought by turning seawater into drinking water.The £270-million plant uses a process (进程) called desalination, through which salt and other minerals are taken out of seawater. The plant takes seawater from the Thames Estuary when the sea is at low tide, filters (过滤) it and then pumps it through a membrane (薄膜) with lots of little holes in it. The process makes the water so clean that essential minerals have to be put back into it. Around 150 million liters of water will be produced in this way each day, supplying 1.4 million people with water.With summer drawing near, the project has been developed to help the widespread drought across the UK. Seven water companies have announced the limited use of water, and hosepipe (水龙带) bans are likely to be announced next month. The ban could affect one in three homes and people caught breaking the rules could face a fine of up to £1,000.As the desalination process is expensive to run and uses a lot of energy, it will only be used in times of drought. Martin Baggs, chief executive of Thames Water, said that more money is needed to help build reservoirs (水库) and develop new technology. He added, “People must use less water during extreme conditions.”8. The process of desalination refers to the process of .A. removing salt from seawaterB. adding minerals into seawaterC. taking water from the seaD. supplying people with water9. It is implied in the text that in summer, .A. the drought in the UK will be less severeB. more methods will be used to ease droughtsC. more drinking water will be accessible in the UKD. the UK will be threatened by more serious droughts10. The process of desalination might not be widely used mainly because .A. new technology can be developedB. it costs too much money and energyC. it can’t produce enough drinking waterD. the water made this way isn’t healthy11. What is the text mainly about?A. Droughts have been common in the history of the UK.B. The technology of taking salt out of seawater is being tested.C. Seawater is being turned into drinking water in the UK.D. Different methods are used to ease the droughts in the UK.DNews 1December 18, 2020 —This year shows strong growth for wind power when the total global installed capacity (能量) added a record 62,000 MW, making the total capacity more than 680,000 MW. Wind power is by far the renewable (能再生的) source with the largest growth in worldwide capacity during the last decade. However, the US is quite slow using wind power compared to many European countries. China is the country with the strongest growth in the total capacity, adding another 20% with 154,000 MW installed.News 2March 13, 2025 — New efforts have been made to get in touch with the Voyager probes (探测器)but to no avail and today it is officially announced that we have lost touch with them forever. The last signal from Voyager 1 was received in November 2020 and from Voyager 2 in March 2021. Voyager 1 was launched into space with the target (目标) to explore Jupiter and Saturn and their moons (卫星) and rings.News 3December 15, 2030 — What will the most popular Christmas present be this year? Affected by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month, you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.

More low-cost space lines have entered the market and you can now find space flights for as low as $3,495.12. We can learn from News 1 that .A. wind power develops fast in China in 2020B. the US has the strongest growth in wind power in 2020C. European countries don’t make use of wind power in 2020D. wind power is not made use of in some countries in 202013.

Are you working onyour typing skills to make you a more efficient worker? That may be allfor nothing as Intel believes that we’ll be able to control our computerswith our brains by 2020.Intel and its research partners are studying how brain acts when itthinks. For exam ple, scientists have found that people’s brains react in a similar manner when asked to think of a bear.Through sensors(感应器)that can find this sort of brain activity, Intel thinks that it will be able to read and translate this into an input system thanks to a chip in the brain.“We’re trying to prove you can do interesting things with brain waves. ” Intel research scientist Dean Pomerleau told Computerworld. “Eventually people may be willing to be more devoted to brain implants(植入物). Imagine being able to surf the Web with the power of your thoughts. ”Even if thinking about a bear isn’t enough to show that you want to copy and paste something. Intel still thinks that there’s a future in using your brain instead of the keyboard.“If we can ge t to the point where you can accurately find specific words, you could mentally type, ” he added. “You could compose characters or words by thinking about letters flashing on the screen or typing whole words rather than their individual characters. ”Wh ile this may all sound impractical for present time, Intel thinks that it’s possible and something we’ll all want.“I think human beings are unusually adaptive, ” said Andrew Chien, vice president of research and director of future technologies researc h at Intel Labs. “If you told people 20 years ago that they would be carrying computers all the time, they would have said, ‘I don’t want that. I don’t need that. ’Now you can’t get them to stop carrying devices. There are a lot of things that have to be done first, but I think implanting chips into human brains is well within the scope of possibility. ”Make good use of your favorite mouse and keyboard set-up before they’re old-fashioned.

He is an amateur cycling enthusiast who for years considered an idea of making a bicycle from cardboard.After much trial and error(反复实验), his latest model has now proven itself and mass production will begin in a few months.“I was always fascinated by applying uncommon technologies to materials and I did this on several occasions. I worked for four years to get rid of the cardboard’s weak structural points, ” Gafni said.“Making a cardboard box is easy and it can be very strong and durable(耐用的), but to make a bicycle was extremely difficult and I had to find the right way to fold the cardboard in several different directions. It took a year and a half, with lots of testing and failure until I got it right, ” he said.Once the shape has been formed and cut, the cardboard is treated with a secret mixture made of organic materials to give it its waterproof(防水的)and fireproof qualities. In the final stage, it is coated with paint for appearance.In testing the durability of the treated cardboard, Gafni said he dipped a cross-section(横截面)in the water for several months and it kept all its hardened characteristics.Once ready for production, the bicycle will include no metal parts, even the brake mechanism and the wheel and pedal bearings will be made of recycled substances.Gafni owns several top-of-the-range bicycles which he said are worth thousands of dollars each, but when his own creation reaches mass production, it should cost no more than about $20 to buy. The costs of materials used are estimated at $9 per unit. (295W)6.
