AWhat do you hear?Sounds all around you!You can hear the sound of traffic,the wind in the trees,a dog barking,your own breathing and lots of other things.But what is the sound?Sound happens when something vibrates(振动)or shakes.We can make something vibrate by hitting it.Try this experiment.Put your ruler on your desk so that part of it sticks out(伸出)over the edge.Put your hand on the part of the ruler that is on the desk.Now pull the part that is sticking out over the edge down,and then let it go.The part you let go will vibrate.It will move up and down very quickly,and give out sound.The part of the ruler sticking out over the edge of the desk produced the sound.If you make that part longer,you will hear a lower sound.When you shorten it,you will hear a higher sound.Why does this happen?When you shorten the ruler,it will vibrate more quickly.When something vibrates more quickly it produces a higher sound.If you lengthen the ruler,it will vibrate more slowly.When something vibrates more slowly,it produces a lower sound.1.How does the sound happen?A.When something vibrates or shakes.B.When hitting at something.C.When a ruler is put at the edge of the desk.2.We can hear a sound if we make the part of the ruler sticking out over the edge of the desk longer.A.higherB.lowerD.nice根据第三段中“If you make that part longer,you will hear a lower sound.When you shorten it,you will hear a higher sound.”可知答案。

单元综合检测(三)Ⅰ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ASure，it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.And yes，it's good to get along with your teacher because，in general，it's smart to learn how to understand the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.“But really，there's one super important reason why you should get along with your teacher.When you do，learning bursts right open，” says Evelyn Vuko，a longtime teacher who writes an educatio n column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact，kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more，but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help.This makes it easier to understand new materials and do your best on tests.When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher，he or she can be someone to turn to with problems，such as problems with learning or school life，such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school，you're at a wonderful stage in your life.You're like a sponge (海绵)，able to absorb lots of new and exciting information.On top of that，you're able to think about all this information in new ways.Your teacher knows that，and in most cases，is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together.Remember，teachers are people，too，and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you.That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation，whether they like the teacher or not.But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher，and if things aren't going well，they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.【语篇解读】本文讲述的是与老师关系融洽对学生在校学习和生活的种种好处。

Playing doctor, they imagine how physicians care for their patients. Playing house, they learn more about how parents feel about their children. Imaginative play helps develop empathy (同情) for others. If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet, they are better able to help those in need. They become more willing to play fair, to share, and to cooperate.Build selfconfidenceYoung children have very little control over their lives. Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers (摩天大楼) or a superhero defending the planet is empowering to a child. It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.Boost intellectual growthUsing the imagination is the beginning of abstract thought. Children who can see a king's castle in a mound (堆) of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically (象征性地). This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numerals symbolize groups of objects, letters symbolize sounds, and so on.Practice language skillsKids who play pretend with their friends do a lot of talking. This helps boost their vocabulary, improve sentence structure and promote communication skills.Work out fearsPlaying pretend can help children work out their fears and worries. When children roleplay about the big，bad monster under the bed, they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad.Imaginative play also helps kids vent (发泄) confusing feelings they might have, such as anger toward a parent or compete with a new sibling (兄弟姐妹)．To encourage your youngster's imagination, read to him every day. Books offer children the opportunity to visit other worlds and create new ones of their own.For generations children have enjoyed reading the story of Peter Pan because Peter takes them on fascinating adventures.Reader's Digest Young Families offers a beautiful typical Disney edition of Peter Pan, which is an iParenting Media Awards winner. Click here to find out how you can get this classic story along with 2 free books—Bambi and Pinocchio.36．What's NOT the advantage of children having a good imagination?A．Understanding the other people's feelings and problems.B．Expressing their feelings like anger.C．Having a strong faith in their own abilities and potential.D．Helping them form a good habit of reading story.37．What does the underlined word “Boost” mean ?A．Improve.

Information overload for whitecollar workers has become a global issue. The huge amount of information has already affected their efficiency in management as well as their performance at work.Buried with emailsEvery morning, a secretary at the human resources department of an auto parts company opens her email box, only to find it crammed with at least 50 unread mails. For her, even scanning through these emails every day takes at least half an hour. Some of her colleagues are not so lucky—they have to read at least 100.Bothered with callsTelephone calls are al so causing a problem. More than 40 percent whitecollar workers choose mobile phones as the preferred way to communicate important and urgent business matters. Talking saves time and energy over the clicking, reading and replying toemails, but phone calls are also more distracting (分心的). While answering a call, a clerk is likely to putaway a much more important task at hand and start the business being talked about on the phone.Solution? Not yetMany companies start with providing staff with better computers, betterInternet access and more advanced gadgets(小装置). For example, staff members above a certain level in one company will be provided with a blackberry phone for easier access to their emails. The company has also organized many lectures on efficient ways of email management. Yet most whitecollar workers think their companies can do more.40．What does the new survey find about whitecollar workers?A．They spend 51 percent of their work time on meetings.B．Only half of the information they receive is useful.C．Over 60 percent of them prefer to use the telephone.D．Some of them have to read at least 100 emails every day.41．Telephone calls cause a problem because____________.A．they take up the time to receive and send emailsB．they are often not answeredC．they are mostly not about businessD．they may lead to change of work schedule42．How do some companies try to solve the problem of information overload?A．They start to give staff a pay rise.B．They plan to employ more people.C．They provide employees with more advancedequipment.D．They organize lectures on how to reduce stress.43．What is the major issue discussed in this text?A．Poor management leads to inefficiency at work.B．Junk mail is causing big trouble.C．Whitecollar workers suffer from informationoverload.D．Better computers are in need in workplaces.CMany years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station (加油站)about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台)，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the backof my car.I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him an d his wife a thankyou note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day，and the battery (电池)was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how frien dly is Friendly Ford？”I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment；so when I got home I wrote them a note to say thanks，I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot，he said.“Thank you”—two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.44．The words “took off”underlined in Paragraph 2 mean ______.A．turned off B．moved offC．put up D．set up45．What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.B．The couple sent him a business card.C．The couple offered to help him.D．He called his friend for help.46．By telling his own experiences，the author tries to show ________.A．how to write a thankyou letterB．how to deal with car problemsC．the kindheartedness of o lder peopleD．the importance of expressing thanksDWinning the lottery (彩票) is not the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for many past winners. Sad stories do exist in large numbers for the past lottery winners and that's why some financial expe rts say “70 percent of lottery winnerswill squander away (乱花) winning within a few years.” Some end up losing all within two years, family relationships destroyed oreven worse. Wayne Schenk was an old soldier diagnosed with lung cancer. When he won a million dollars in a lottery he thought his troubles were over and he would get the advanced medical treatment that might save his life. But lottery officials refused to pay him the total sum in a single payment and they said they could not make an exception to the regulations. When Schenk died in 2007, he'd only received one payment of $ 34,000.Another lottery winner, Billy Bob Harrell, Jr. killed himself two years after winning 31 million dollars in the Texas lottery in 1997. He'd spent large amounts of money and given large amounts away, but he didn't find that expected peace that should have come with the freedom of money.Other lottery winners have ended up in prison for crimes. Many suffer bankruptcy (破产) after the big jackpot (头奖) is spent and given away, including some of the eight people who won the 365 million Powerball in 2006.The examples given paint a sad picture of what can happen if you win a big lottery jackpot, but fortunately, these examples don't tell the stories of all jackpot winners.47．What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Most lottery winners use up the money quickly.B．Most lottery winners don't really end up well.C．Winning lottery means relationships destroyed.D．Financial experts are against the lottery industry.48．Why did lottery officials refuse to give Wayne Schenk the million dollars in one payment?A．He was diagnosed with lung cancer.B．He was unwilling to give away his money.C．They had to observe the official rules.D．They didn't want to disturb his peace.49．The author supports his main idea by________.A．giving examples B．making comparisonsC．listing numbers D．stating reasons50．In the following paragraph, the author will probably talk about________.A．advice given by financial expertsB．happy stories of the lottery winnersC．conclusion drawn by the authorD．regulations about lottery winningⅣ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)(2013·辽宁开原高二上期末) Why is setting goals important? ____51____ Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. ____52____ It's like having a map to show you where you want to go.
