who set them up.His name was AlfredNobel.He was a great scientist and inventorhimself.Besides,he had a big business.His business may surprise you.He made and sold explosives.His companies even made and sold weapons.Isn't this something that surprises you?The man who made money from weapons should set up the PeacePrize?Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons,he hated war.He hoped that there would be no war in the world.He was one of the richest in Europe.When he died in 1896,he let behind him a lot of money and his famous will.According to his will,most of his money was placed in a fund.He wanted the interest from the fund to be used as prizes every year.We know them as the Nobel Prizes.The Nobel Prizes are international.Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work,not the country they came from.Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind.He made money all by his own efforts,but he let the world share his wealth.His inventions and wealth stay with the world for ever.1.Alfred's business was________.A.making and selling explosivesB.not making and selling weaponsC.making explosives and selling

aparent to do when a child asks for a smartphone?Sydney Crowe is in sixth grade and has a smartphone.While she admits she mostly uses it for “playing games and watching television”,her mom,Patty,says that's not why Sydney got the phone.Patty's main concern was safety.The bus missed Sydney's stop enough times to really worry her parents.Without means to call an adult,she would walk to school near a busy highway.That's when Patty gave her daughter a phone.Patty says sherolled her eyes at the idea of her child having a smartphone,but finally decided to allow it for one main reason:peace of mind.On the other side of the argument,there's Mercy Shannon.She's 9 years old and doesn't have a cell phone.Mercy's mom,Brooke Shannon,like many other parents,faced the cell phone decision early on.She started an online promise called “Wait Until 8th” to create a community of parents waiting to give their kids smartphones until at least eighth grade—when most children are nearing high school.In addition to wanting her kids to have a break from screens,Brooke worries about the influence of social media(媒体).“Children just don't have the brain development at this age to be able to deal with the social situations that come with social media,” she says.That isn't just a parent concern.Richard Freed,a child psychologist(心理学家)and author of a book on the subject,wanted to research the topic after seeing an increase in the number of children coming to him with anxiety and depression.His suggestion?Put some ground rules in place.“I want parents to understand how powerful these technologies are,”he says.There's no magic age to give a kid a smartphone.Rather than considering the age of a child,we should think about maturity(成熟).5.What does Sydney mainly use her smartphone

safety.C.Their holiday wish.D.Their brain development.三、阅读填句Battling another cough or cold?__1__ You may feel better if you take a daily walk or follow a simple exercise routine a few times a week.Exercise helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease.It also helps keep your bones healthy and strong.We do not know exactly if or how exercise increases your immunity(免疫)to certain illnesses.There are several theories.__2__ Some of these theories are as follows:Physical activity may help move bacteria(细菌)out of the lungs and airways.__3__The brief rise in body temperature during

Thus, a person has to work more hours to pay for the same thing.For example, let’s say that this year a loaf of bread costs $1.00 and the average salary in the United States is $10.00 per hour. That means a person could earn enough money to buy a loaf of bread in one-tenth of an hour, or six minutes, Then, halfway through the year, The price of bread goes up to $1.25, while wages stay the same. That means that a person how has to work one-eighth of an hour, or seven and a half minutes to buy the same loaf of bread.Now let’s say that at the end of the year, wages go up to$11.00 per hour, but the price of bread goes up to $1.50. Now a person has to work more than one-seventh of an hour, over eight minutes to but the same loaf of bread. As you can see, if more and more work time is spent earning money to buy loaves of bread, employees will have less money left over to buy other things Inflation means that the same money buys fewer things and everybody’s standard of living goes down, even if salaries are going up.Some kinds of inflation are worse than others, Moderate inflation does not distort(扭曲)relative prices or incomes seriously, Galloping inflation happens rapidly, say at a rate of 100 percent or more within a year. And then there is hyperinflation-inflation so serious that people try to get rid of their currency before prices rise further and make the money worthless. Times of hyperinflation are usually characterized by social and political disorder.1.The passage mainly wants to .A.list major economic problems B.discuss something about inflationC.explain why bread prices increase D.state the types of inflation2.Why is“a loaf of bread”repeatedly mentioned?A.To express dissatisfaction with the price of bread.B.To show the effect of price changes.C.To compare bread with other food.D.To explain social and political disorder.3.What happens when prices go up but salaries remain the same?A.The government will do more about the economy.B.Workers might lose their jobs of they show dissatisfaction.C.People will save money rather than spend it.D.People must work longer to buy the same things.4.Which of the followings belongs to the type of moderate inflation?A.People try to get rid of their currency.B.Inflation occurs at rate of 100 percent in a yearC.Incomes and relative prices rise slightly.D.There is social and political disorder.参考答案1-4 B B D C*********************************************************结束。

UNIT 1 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解A2022·山东淄博模拟To deal with a changing world, we have to change as well. Transforming land into farms removes forests and worsens climate change. But we need to grow more food to support a growing global population. What can we do?Scientists have discovered that plants grow best under a certain type of light, which can be provided by red and blue LEDs. The combination of these lights at the right level makes a space look pink. Since “pinkhouses” supply their own light, they don't need to have fragile glass walls and ceilings. And they can be set up anywhere, including the places that don't get the amount of light greenhouses need.Since pinkhouses can pack food in huge columns, one of these farms doesn't need a lot of land. Farmers can set up pinkhouses in cities. They completely control temperature and light, which can help some plants grow twice as well in pinkhouses as they do in traditional farming. Pinkhouses can allow for many more harvests per year since farming doesn't have to stop in winter.Even though pinkhouses are a great way to grow crops, lighting and heating an indoor space can be very expensive. It doesn't make sense to grow foods that take up a lot of space or that we need to grow lots of, like wheat, rice, and corn, in a pinkhouse. We will still need to grow those crops in fields. We can start farming smarter.Farmers will use satellite imagery to figure out exactly where to plant each crop. Think of a mixture of just the right crops, rather than a rectangle (长方形) of one type of plant. Sensors in the fields will measure the soil's water level, temperature, and chemical content. They will even be able to detect insects and send out notifications to a smartphone app. Irrigation systems will be tied to weather forecasting programs, allowing for very precise watering and care, all calculated to get the best plant growth and yield.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。

Travelling with friends can be an absolutely amazing experience where you could make lifelong memories or it could end up ruining your friendship.①______Here are some rules you should follow to make sure your next trip with friends goes as smoothly as possible.②______Sure,you and your friends probably have some similar interests,but that’s not always the case. In an effort to keep everyone happy,go over travel plans and expectations ahead of time. Have each person categorize activities or sights into “must-see” “want to see” and “would go if we have time”. Plan accordingly and make sure everyone can see some of their top attractions.Communicate and respect each other. Everyone has personal preferences when travelling—from getting the bed closest to the bathroom or sitting in the airplane’s window seat. But sometimes things don’t go as you like. In this case, share your requirements directly with your travel companions. ③______Have a conversation when problems arise, for communication is the key.Don’t disappear. When travelling with a group—or even just one other person—you may want some alone time. That’s completely fine,but make sure your friends know where you are and have a way of contacting you.④______Get off your phone. Of course, your friends will understand if you need to take a call from a family member,or in the event of a work emergency,but other than that,try to stay off your phone.⑤______After all,the appeal of this type of trip is to spend time with friends. Just enjoy it!A. Give each other some space.B. Include at least one activity for everyone.C. And remember that consideration and respect go a long way.D. At the same time,listen to their concerns and be respectful of them.E. Don’t respond to non-urgent work contact or send messages frequently.F. It’s especially true of travelling in foreign countries or unfamiliar places.G. So it's important to make sure you and your friend(s)are on the same page.二、在下面的文章中,每一个空格都有四个单词或短语,分别标记为A、B、C和D。

We1 re going to suffer, but the three kids complain anyway.They5ve grown up in 72-degree comfort, protected from the world outside. u lfs too hot to sleep, “ my 13-year-old daughter complains. "I'm about to die from this heat,n her brother complains down the hall. u Just try it tonight,n I tell them. In truth I'm too tired to turn for long.

Ifs been years since I took the time to really listen to the night.I think about grandma, who lived to 92 and still helped with my mom's gardening until just a few weeks before she died. And then, I'm back there at her house in the summer heat of my childhood. I moved my p川ow tothe foot of grandma's bed and turned my face towards the open window. I turned the pillow, hunting for the cooler side. Grandma saw me turn over and over. u lf you just watch for the breeze, " she said, "you'll cool off and fall asleep."I stare at the filmy white curtain, willing it to move. Lying stilb waiting, I suddenly notice the life outside the window. The bug chorus.

If gardeners can keep off the birds and other wildlife trying to eat the seeds, they can have a large harvest. The bright yellow blooms will make a rainbow garden, brightening up any space.However, planting the sunflower seeds is a skilled job. Plant seeds no deeper than the full length of itself. Smaller sized sunflowers can be spaced a foot apart. Larger varieties will need to be spaced as far apart as three feet. This allows ripe plants enough space for the seed heads toripen without knocking the ripe seeds off before gardeners have a chance to harvest them.Most sunflower seeds, especially those with eatable seeds, are large enough to handle without the need for seed sorters. This is why sunflowers make an excellent choice for a children's garden as well. Gardeners will want to mix plenty of soil fertilizers (肥料)into the ground as sunflowers tend to be heavy feeders.Sunflowers can be slow starters and the tiny new plants don't seem to grow very rapidly. Gardeners should protect the new plants as they begin to grow. Once they get going, sunflowers are able to outgrow many weeds, making them easier to grow in the home vegetable garden than many other plants.Most pests and diseases are not a bother to the sunflower, however, more than one gardener has said that their lovely looking plants were ravaged overnight by hungry squirrels, mice or birds. To preserve their harvest, gardeners can cover the ripening seed head with stockings or net cloth to help keep the destroyers off the seeds.Planting sunflower seeds is easy and can help even the smallest gardener feel successful in their gardening attempts.8.Why should sunflowers be planted with enough space in between?A.To prevent birds from eating sunflower seeds.B.To protect the ripe seed heads before harvest.C.To offer the sunflowers enough sunlight.D.To help the sunflowers grow stronger.9.Why do people tend to choose sunflowers for children's gardens?A.They want to decorate their garden with sunflowers.B.The seeds are easy to plant and unnecessary to sort.C.Sunflowers don't need too much soil fertilizer.D.Tiny new sunflowers can grow very fast.10.Which can replace the underlined word “ravaged” in Paragraph 5?A. Destroyed.B. Covered.C. Surrounded.D. Removed.11.What is the text mainly about?A.How to plant sunflowers.B.Ways to preserve sunflowers.C.Different kinds of sunflowers.D.Tips on making your garden bright.DJames Rumsey was a successful businessman in Bath, Virginia in 1784 when he met George Washington. When the hero of the Revolutionary War stopped in Bath, Rumsey showed Washington his invention. It was a model of a boat using the power of rivers current to travel against the current. The boat had a set of wheels with two longpoles fastened under the boat. Rumsey placed the boat in the Potomac River and the current turned the wheels round and round quickly, which in turn, forced the poles to push against the riverbed moving the boat against the current.Washington wrote of the invention in his diary on September 6, 1784, “The model, and its operation upon the water, which had been made to run fast, not only made me believe what I before thought, but that it might be turned to the greatest possible means of transportation.n Washington even gave Rumsey a letter stating that he had seen the boat in operation.The following year, Washington became president of the Potomac Company. One of Washington's first problems was he couldn't find anyone with experience of building canal. In July 1785, Washington remembered Rumsey's walking boat and decided that Rumsey was the man to build the canal.Rumsey had continued his work on the mechanical boat, but a full-scale model had not worked as well as the smaller version. The larger boats poles would stick or slip on the bottom of the river and when the boat moved, it lurched (突然前倾)and leaned dangerously.As making this idea a success seemed to be slipping away, Rumsey turned his sights to a new way to allow a boat to move against the current-steam power. However, Washington employed Rumsey just as he was considering the solution. Washington hired him at an annual salary of200 pounds.12.What can we learn about Rumsey's invention?A.It turned out to be practical.B.It was driven by water power.C.It was a great means of transportation.D.It had wheels to push against the riverbed.13.Seeing the model boat, Washington.A.drew a picture of it in his diaryB.employed Rumsey at onceC.wrote Rumsey a letterD.took an interest in it14.What can we learn about Rumsey from the text?A.He managed to build the mechanical boat.B.He became rich owing to his invention.C.He got great trust from Washington.D.He gave up his first idea.15.What can be the best title for the text?A.Rumsey's Walking BoatB.Rumsey and WashingtonC.A Successful Business ManD.The History of the Mechanical Boat二、阅读七选五Choosing to Study OverseasEvery year, thousands of students choose to study in another country for a semester, a summer, or a year.

2016高考训练(由2014·湖北卷D改编)You’ve flown halfwa y around the world; you’ve sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of; so what on earth is there to do here? You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a lo ng jou rney from Bangkok to Huaplee. By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out, it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is loc ated j ust south of Hua Hin, about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok, down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand. Not many tourists find this place, and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There’s an a pparen t laziness that surrounds you here. It’s what this place offers, and it’s free of charge. The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down. You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest. You sit there and watch the sea.It’s early af ternoo n, so the cook comes out and asks what you’d like to eat this evening. Before long he’s rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it w as that you ordered—every meal fresh and to order.
