Almost from the moment it is born, the baby monkey can move around and hold tightly to its mother. During the first few days of its life the baby will approach and hold onto almost any large, warm, and soft object in its environment , particularly if that object also gives it milk. After a week or so , however, the baby monkey begins to avoid newcomers and focuses its attentions on “mother”-----the real mother or the mother-substitute(母亲代替物).During the first two weeks of its life warmth is perhaps the most important psychological(心理的)thing that a monkey mother has to give to its baby. The Harlows, a couple who are both psychologists, discovered this fact by offering baby monkeys a choice for two types of mother-substitutes ----one covered with cloth and one make of bare wire. If the two artificial mothers were both the same temperature, the little monkeys always preferred the cloth mother. However, if the wire model was heated, while the cloth model was cool, for the first two weeks after birth the baby monkeys picked the warm wire mother-substitutes as their favorites. Thereafter they switchedand spent most of their time on the more comfortable cloth mother.Why is cloth preferable to bare wire? Sometime that the Harlows called contact(接触)comfort seems to be the answer, and a most powerful influence it is. Baby monkeys spend much of their time rubbing against their mothers’skins, putting themselves in as close contact with the parent as they can. Whenever the young animal is frightened, disturbed, or annoyed, it typically rushes to its mother and rubs itself against her body. Wire doesn’t “rub”as well as does soft cloth. Prolonged(长时间)”contact comfort”with a cloth mother appears to give the babies confidence and is much more rewarding to them than is either warmth or milk.According to the Harlows, the basic quality of a baby’s love for its mother is trust. If the baby is put into an unfamiliar playroom without its mother, the baby ignores the toys no matter how interesting they might be. It screams in terror and curls up into a furry little ball. If its cloth mother is now introduced into the playroom, the baby rushes to it and holds onto it for dear life. After a few minutes of contact comfort, it obviously begins to feel more secure. It then climbs down from the mother-substitute and begins to explore the toys, but often rushes back for a deep embrace (拥抱) as if to make sure that its mother is still there and that all is well. Bit by bit its fears of the new environment are gone and it spends more and more time playing with the toys and less and less time holding onto its”mother”.50. Psychologically, what does the baby monkey desire most during the first two weeks of its life?A. WarmthB. MilkC. contactD. trust51. After the first two weeks of their life, baby monkeys prefer the cloth motherto the wire mother because the former is_______.A. larger in sizeB. closer to themC. less frightening and less disturbingD. more comfortable to rub against52. What does the baby monkey probably gain from prolonged ”contact comfort”?A. Attention.B. SoftnessC. confidenceD. interest .53. It can be inferred that when the baby monkey feels secure,____.A. it frequently rushes back for a deep embrace when exploring the toysB. it spend more time time screaming to get rewardsC. it is less attracted to the toys though they are interestingD. it cares less about whether its mother is still around54. The main purpose of the passage is to______.A. give the reasons for the experimentB. present the findings of the experiment.C. introduce the method of the experimentD. describe the process of the experiment。

M4 Unit5 Theme Parks---fun and more than fun教学设计高中英语必修4第五单元Theme parks是高一下半学期的最后一个单元，包含两篇描述名胜景点的文章、体现问路和指方向的功能句型、词的构成以及设计一个导游手册。

本单元主要的文章就是第一篇课文Theme parks --- fun and more than fun 切合单元主题，简单介绍了主题类别和详细描述了三个主题公园，给学生提供了描述地点、主题和特色的功能句型。

本节课设计特色如下：1.主线清晰---双线并行：A借助《爸爸去哪里》歌和三个小主人公去旅行导课，围绕帮助他们就兴趣爱好选择合适主题公园为线索展开。

B.始终围绕着描述主题公园三要素：location, theme, attractions 展开，由结构到段落，到句型，再回归段落和结构，层层递进。

2.阅读方式---Jigsaw reading鉴于此文总-分-分-分的结构，教师邀请学生们分组进行Jigsaw reading; 根据三个主题公园不同主题，把六个小组根据个人兴趣分成2个cartoon group,culture group, history group；3.阅读理解---自由空间围绕每个公园的location\theme\attractions自主进行信息锁定、理解、加工和输出，不以某种表格、填空等方式限制他们学习和思维方式，有利于自主学习与探究；第二，在完成自我知识构建的过程中，学生们自主整理总结出很多关于location\theme\attractions的词汇和句型，相互交流，商议确定，进行系统的总结，形成关于介绍主题地点的思维导图；4.输出分二层---小型输出和大型输出本节课教学设计的重难点：本节课的教学重难点：第一，学生学会应用三要素和主要的表达方式来描述所学的主题公园，这是基于课文内容的呈现要求；第二，学生学会用所学的三要素和主要的表达方式来描述其他的主题地点；同时，学生要通过学习此篇课文了解世界文化历史以及增强保护和传承我国文化遗产的责任感和主人翁意识。

Unit 5 Theme parksFUTUROSCOPE—EXCITEMENT AND LEARNINGLast week I took a journey deep into space①，to the end of the solar system，and was pulled into a black hole.Then I took a trip to② Brazil and experienced surviving an airplane crash in the jungle(丛林)．After that，I joined some divers(潜水员) and went to the bottom of the ocean to see strange blind creatures(生物) that have never seen sunlight③．For a break，I took part in some car racing and then skied down some of the most difficult mountains in the world.I ended my travels by meeting face to face with a dinosaur，the terrible T­Rex(霸王龙)，and survived the experience！“观测未来”——刺激与求知上周我进行了一次深入太空的旅行，我来到了太阳系的尽头，被拖进了一个黑洞里。

然后我到巴西旅游，并感受了坠机后在丛林中逃生的滋味。

随后，我跟着一些潜水员潜入海底观看神秘的、从未见到过阳光的生物。

作为间歇，我参加了一个赛车比赛，然后来到一些世界上最险要的山上滑雪。

最后，我面对面地遭遇了一只恐龙——可怕的霸王龙，在死里逃生之后，我的旅行也结束了！I did all this in one great day at Futuroscope.Opened in 1987，is one of the largest space­age parks in the world.This science and technology­based⑤ theme park in France uses the most advanced(先进的) technology.Its 3­D cinemas and giant movie screens provide brand new experiences of the earth and beyond.Visitors can get close to parts of the world they have never experienced，going to the bottom of the ocean，flying through the jungle or visiting the edges of the solar system⑥．The amazing，up­to­date information together with many opportunities for hands­on learning makes the world come to life in a completely new way for visitors.Learning centres throughout the park let visitors try their own scientific experiments，as well as learn more about space travel，the undersea world and much more.在观测未来主题公园，我在美好的一天之内就做完了所有这些事情。

Unit 5 Theme parks第一节：语法填空(课文)There are 1. (vary) kinds of theme parks. Some are famous 2. having the biggest or longest roller coaster, 3. for showing the famous sights and sounds of a culture. 4. (which) and whatever you like,there is a theme park 5. _________ you!The theme park you are probably most familiar 6._________ is Disneyland.With all 7._______ (attract), no wonder tourism is increasing 8. ________ (where) there is a Disneyland.Dollywood is one of the most unique theme parks in the world. It has the world’s largest bald eagle preserve.In England’s Camelot Park, every area of it is 9. ______ (model) afterlife in the days of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. Thereyou can experience the ancient days and great 10.________ (deed) of English knights and ladies, princes and queens.第二节：短文改错Dear Diary，Here I am in the middle of a city，350miles far away from our farmhouse.Do you want to know why we move last week? Dad lost his job, and as Mom explained,”He was lucky to find other one ”. His new job meant I had tosay goodbye to my classmate, my school or just everything else I love in theworld . To make matters bad, now I have to share a room with my younger sister, Maggie. Tomorrow is first day of school. I am awfully tiring, but I know I’llnever fall sleep.Good night and remember, you , dear diary, is my only souvenir from mypast life and my only friend.Yours,Rosemary第三节：七选五Never put off until tomorrow what you can do todayWant to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn’t ?But it’s still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time. Here’s why.......61.______The task will be still the same. It won’t be any more fun and youstill won’t want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you have n’t started the work. And the stress increased. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have todo it under great pressure.62._______Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? you’re probably miscalculating. Get started----maybe on a small place-----and you’ll discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result? You won’t experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to. Things are guaranteed----100percent----to get better.63.________If you leave your work until the night before it’s due, you giveup the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularlygive advice----or at least a few useful tips----during office hours. Unfortunately, though, they don’t usually hold office hours at midnight,so you’ll be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm thatyou have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds ofyour grade.64._______Ever wonder why the professor assigns the paper two weeks before it’s due?It’s because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research ,for two weeks. No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time.After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. Most college papers require you to have some kind of idea, then to spend some time thinking about it, revising it, and polishing it. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.65.________If you put things off till the last minute, you might find that you haven’t budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. It’s the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it’ll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise---like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things ---as you’re thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you don’t allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利的)effect on your ability to complete your assignment.A.Time can run out .B.Tomorrow won’t be betterC.Ideas need time to developD.Your professor will be impatientE.You blow off your chances for helpF.You’re probably overestimating(高估)the pain.第四节：阅读理解Below is a selection from a popular science book.If blood is red ,why are verns(静脉)blue?Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish color. Although blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple color. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.Which works harder, your heart or your brain?That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker.But ,in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you ‘re sitting still your brain is using twice as much energy as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it .Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-ups?Baby (or “milk ”) teeth do not last long ; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done.When they’re gone, they’re gone. This is because nature figures you’re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.Do old people shrink as they age?Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t because they’re shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱) becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力) . Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3-4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinkingtill you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards --their legs. arms and ba ckbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved. Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)？Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling. The brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity-and motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But, when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out of control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not!Where do feelings and emotions come from?Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area --from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animal on the planetIf exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them.
