Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago.Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.“We have come to the conclusion, based on last week's satellite landing，” Prof. Zog said, “that there is no life on Earth.”“How do you kno w this？” the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.“For one thing, Earth's surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other de adly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned？”“We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned.”“Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies？”“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We don't know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”“Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add ev en greater weight to the saucer.”“If all you say is true, won't this set back the flying saucer program several years？”“Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(资金)．” Profession. Zog replied.1．According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about ________.A．the feasibility of landing a satellite on EarthB．the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucerC．the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to EarthD．the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan2．Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because ______.A．they need it in their way to the planet of EarthB．the Earth's atmosphere is filled with deadly gasesC．there is a low level of oxygen for VenusiansD．there is no air on the planet of Earth3．It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A．landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soonB．Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollutionC．it's unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at presentD．pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there4．Where can you probably read such a passage?A．In a popular magazine.B．In a fairy tale.C．In an observation journal.D．In science fiction.Ⅲ.七选五(2014·北京市海淀区下学期期中)There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. __1__ The first sense is the one in which we read newspapers, magazines, or anything else.__2__ Such materials may increase our store of information, but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information, for our understanding was equal to them before we started. Otherwise, we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.The second sense is the one in which we read something that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. __3__ Otherwise one person could never learn from a nother. Here “learning” means understanding more, not remembering more information.What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First, there is inequality in understanding. __4__ Besides, his book must convey something he possesses and his potential readers lack. Second, the reader must be able to overcome this inequality in some degree. And he should always try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached, success of communication is achieved.__5__ It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact, any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.A．The writer should have a better communicating skill.B．Such communication between unequals must be possible.C．We can get access to the content of those materials easily.D．The writer must be “superior” to the reader in understanding.E．Thus, we can empl oy the word “reading” in two distinct senses.F．Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.G．Besides gaining information and understanding, there's another goal of reading—entertainment.Ⅳ.语法填空(2014·新课标Ⅱ高考压轴卷)A man recognized as a genius in business circles was invited as an honour guest to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him.

Unit 4 PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解AEight years ago，I was a busy housewife.My life always revolved (旋转) around my children and husband.I felt my brain was stuck.One day my friend Judy called and told me that she was going to join an oil painting class on Friday evenings.She asked me to join the class together with her.I was hesitant to join her because I had never painted before.Judy encouraged me to join for fun.I finally accepted her invitation.The first day in the class，we met our teacher，Mr.Chiou，who just came back from France.He showed us a lot of pictures of paintings of famous artists all around the world and told us some stories about art history.He said everyone is an artist.Everyone can draw or paint.Art is a silent language which can express human feelings.We started to paint the things we liked or hated.We also painted the most beautiful and ugly thing in our minds.When I'm painting，I forget everything that I worry about.Sometimes I even forget the time.Mr.Chiou not only opened the door of art for me but also gave me a way to broaden my life.I started to borrow art books from the library and visit museums in my free time.I'm not really good at painting，but I certainly enjoy it.Every painting represents the artist's personality and feeling.For example，when I imitated(模仿) Vincent Van Gogh's painting，I can sense the passion and the energy from his painting.I think this is why，after I started to paint，I felt like my dried－out brain began receiving a new source of refreshing water.1．Before learning to paint，the author's life was ________．A．interesting B．colorfulC．boring D．funny2．When Judy asked the author to attend a painting class，she ________．A．promised to do so happily at onceB．was sure she might do it wellC．refused immediately without any reasonD．wondered if she could do that for lack of experience3．It can be inferred from the passage that Mr.Chiou ________．A．encourages his students to build their confidenceB．must be a famous French painterC．must have given his students some paintingsD．doesn't let his students make any noise when painting4．We may conclude from the text that ________．A．developing a new interest can make a person refreshedB．everyone should learn painting since it is not difficultC．the first step to learn painting is to imitate famous artists' paintingD．if you want to broaden your life，you should learn paintingBMany scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money.However，if you're the sort of person that shivers whenever they have to complete a writing assignment，this may not be the best of news.Luckily for you，there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay.The following tips should help you conquer this not－so－easy aspect of the scholarship application process.You should always outline your essays.This does not just apply to scholarship essays，either.An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become.Judges can't stand when your writing is loose，lacks coherence(连贯性) or when you fail to connect your main points.They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do，in fact，relate to the topic at hand.If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about，always try to select something you are personally interested in.Don't write what you think the judges want to hear.This will only amount in an essay that reads like everyone else's，which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.If you are bored with a topic，then your essay will be boring as well.Make sure your ideas follow a clear and logical path，meaning they are connected well and the transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next.Likewise，try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story.Yes，college will be a life－changing experience，but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes，it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age，but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away，so only pull at the heartstrings if you have a proper reason for doing so.5．When writing a scholarship essay，an outline is necessary because it helps you ________．A．focus on the details of the essayB．think more about the scholarshipC．make a picture of the whole essayD．draw much attention from the judges6．Your essay will be appreciated by judges if it ________．A．turns out to be looseB．is short of coherenceC．is unable to connect the main pointsD．supports your argument with brief examples7．When choosing what to write about，you'd better ________．A．choose a subject you are personally interested inB．know what the judges' feelings and interests areC．select something that is popular among studentsD．know what the judges want to hear and know8．What is the author's opinion on writing the topic of a scholarship essay?A．The essay should include the obvious or the sad story.B．You must keep your mind in a clear and logical path.C．You'd better try to put an interesting story in it.D．Try to say as much as you can about your family.Ⅱ.根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Do you wish you could invent something new? Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.Adaptive glassesDo you wear glasses? If so，can you imagine life without them? In 1985，Joshua Silver，a professor at Oxford University，asked himself，“Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer？” He designed two plastic lenses(透镜) that are filled with a special ing syringes(注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly.The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.The wind­up radioWhen you switch your TV on tonight，think about all those people without electricity.Thinking about this，Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand.In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use.He wanted even the poorest people in developing countries，who don't have electricity and cannot afford batteries，to use it.The radio has a generator(发电机) which is powered by turning a handle.In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleanerIn many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship.This is the Dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic，separation” to separate the dirt.You do not need a b ag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical.The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner.He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory.The Dyson is now one of the bestselling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.The Zapata FlyboardHave you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can thanks to a flyboard，built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata.With it you can dive back in the water and out again.It's possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water—over 30 feet.The basic flyboard model comes in at ￡4，200.So keep dreaming and inventing.One day you might get it right.11．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Greatest InventionsB．Scientists' StoriesC．Magic GlassesD．Beautiful Minds12．What can we learn about adaptive glasses?A．They are very expensive.B．The inventor is a student.C．The glasses are fragile.D．They don't look very nice.13．Which invention won an award?A．Adaptive glasses.B．The wind­up radio.C．The Dyson vacuum cleaner.D．The Zapata Flyboard.14．The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of ________．A．helping people use cleaners more easilyB．making Dyson a rich businessmanC．keeping the house cleaner than beforeD．taking the place of human cleanersBCommuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to￡350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged ￡ 350 a year for each space in two years.Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff－meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库)．Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total ￡ 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40，000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government's income than reducin g traffic.”However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham.The council says the tax will raise as much as ￡100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forw ard the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”15．Supporters argue that the scheme ________．A．can help improve the parking conditions for the staffB．should be applied to all commuters driving to workC．is certain to be carried out despite the objectionsD．will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport16．According to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for ________．A．the firms with parking lotsB．the workforce without carsC．the employees parking their cars on the streetsD．the staff driving to work in the daytime17．Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers's attitude towards the scheme?A．Neutral. B．Negative.C．Understanding. D．Positive.18．It can he inferred from the passage that ________．A．many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staffB．the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvementC．the author believes Britons will benefit from the schemeD．those firms with more commuters will leave NottinghamⅢ.完成句子19．The bank is reported in the local newspaper ________________________ 100，000，000 yuan in broad daylight yesterday.
