People joke that even in the summer time the country never gets any sun and that the skies stay disappointingly grey even during the months of July and August.Last summer though, it was so hot that people could hardly believe it. British people weren't used to such high temperatures, so every day on the news there were stories about people struggling to work in such unusual weather conditions. Radio and television programmes also reminded everyone to drink more water and not to stay too long in the sun.When the sun comes out, British people tend to spend time in their g arden if they have one. It’s common to invite friends and neighbours around for a barbecue, where everyone sits outside and eats food like grilled meat （烤肉）and salads. There's always a back-up plan in case of rain though, and the meal sometimes has to be cooked in the kitchen and eaten indoors.People also spend a lot of time in parks during the summer, having picnics or playing sports. In every green area, there’s always at least one ice cream van, a kind of car that plays children’s music and sells ice creams.Towns like Blackpool and Brighton are popular for their beaches and amusement arcades（游乐场）.People go there to swim, sunbathe and eat fish and chips. The water can be quite cold, though, and that’s why quite a lot of people prefer to go abroad for the ir summer holiday instead. Popular destinations include Spain, Germany and France: all countries that promise a lot of sunshine!1） There is little sunshine in Britain in summer.A. TrueB. FalseC.

You can learn to understand “horse talk” if you pay close attention to them.When horses live in the wild, other animals try to eat them, so a lot of horse talk is about staying alive. Even now, when most horses live on farms, they watch for danger. For this reason, never walk behind a horse. If you surprise it, the horse might mistake you for a lion or wolf and give a dangerous kick.By watching the ears, you can get clues to what the horse is hearing. A horse can turn each ear in a different direction. For a wild horse, this skill is important for survival. The horse can hear something creeping up behind it while also checking out a threatening noise in front. When a horse lets its ears down, it’s feeling safe and relaxed. Though these actions may be natural responses and not deliberate communications, they help you know what the horse is thinking. Sometimes horses can send definite messages. For example, they know they are safer when they’re with other horses. If they become isolated, they “whinny （嘶鸣）,” calling for company. They’re saying, “Where are you? I’m over here!” Domestic horses use the same sounds to stay in touch with other horses.If a horse snorts （打响鼻儿）,it's not communicating anything. It’s just clearing dust or grass seed out of its nose. But if it snorts while holding its head high and staring at something, it’ssaying. “That look s dangerous. Get ready to run!" When two horses meet, they put their noses together and smell each other's breath. It’s their way of asking, “Are you a friend?” Horses also “blow "breathing out the air loudly through the nose, when they meet something stra nge. They are asking, “Is this safe?”Horses have a language of their own. Now you know a bit of what they might be saying!1）Horses in the wild “talk" mainly to________.A. stay aliveB. make friendsC. find foodD. keep awake2） It is dangerous to________.A. touch a horse’s earsB. ride a horse on farmsC. surprise a horse from behindD. stare at a horse from front3）A horse’s ears are special because they can________.A. send messagesB. turn to different directionsC. sense temperaturesD. clear out the dust4）When a horse’s ears are down, we know that it is________.A. isolatedB. relaxedC. angryD. anxious5） From the text, we know that horses________.A. are dangerous animalsB. can hardly survive in the wildC. prefer to stay in groupsD. have different language systems三.归纳综合段落大意和补全句子（本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分）Hawaii, the Aloha State① Hawaii is sometimes called “the Aloha State.” Aloba is a word in the Hawaiian language meaning love and peace. It is often used as a way to say “hello” or “goodbye.” Hawaii is like the word aloha, because it is a state that has two viewpoints: it remembers its history and looks toward the future.② Hawaii is a U.S. state made up of a group of islands in the Pacific Ocea n. It is made up of eight large islands and over 100 other smaller islands. It is the only state that is not in North America. The islands were formed by volcanoes that erupted （爆发）and rose above the ocean. There are still active volcanoes in Hawaii.③ Bec ause of its location, Hawaii has a tropical climate. It is warm, but usually not hot, all year long. Rarely does the temperature drop below 60 degrees Fahrenheit （华氏温度）although it may occasionally snow at the top of some of the mountains.④ Once called the Sandwich Islands by Europeans, Hawaii is thought to have been settled by ancient sailors from other islands in the Pacific. The British explorer Captain Cook thought to be the first European to find the islands in 1778. Because of its location, Hawaii became a frequent stop for European traders and ships. Hawaii was an independent country before it became part of the United States in 1893. It was governed by either a king or a queen. It is one of the only four U.S. states to have been a country before statehood. It was admitted into the Union in 1959 as the 50th state.⑤ Today Hawaii is important as a vacation destination. Each year over 6 million people visit Hawaii to enjoy the beaches, the beautiful ocean, and the historical Hawaiian culture. Come and visit Hawaii. You are sure to love it!Task 11）Paragraph ①: ______A. Mild climateB. Local customsC. Tourist attractionD. Long historyE. Meaning of AlohaF. Geographic features 2）Paragraph ②: ______A. Mild climateB.

Life on the FarmLife on a farm is always changing. New technologies and a rising interest in healthier and organic eating have had a huge impact on how farms do business. At the same time, a growing population has put more demands on farmers. They need to find ways to increase their production levels. The small family farms that used to produce most of the products have been largely replaced by factory farms. Small family farms that are still operating are struggling to keep up.Technology has made most aspects of farm life easier than it has ever been before. Bigger and more efficient equipment makes work such as plowing up fields and sowing the seeds easier. Such tasks used to take two or three times as long. These advances have allowed farmers to work faster and more efficiently than ever before. In addition to newer technology, factory farms produce more products for less money than traditional farming would require.Modern farm life，despite the introduction of new technologies, has not changed much from what it has always been. Farmers still wake up early, and spend their days doing hard work. There are still animals to feed，cows to be milked, and fields to be plowed. Farm life still requires a lot of hard work and sacrifice.The main change in modern farm life is in the way farms are run. It is common for even small farms to have several hired workers and even an animal manager. Family-run farms are becoming rarer. Factory farms, with other larger farm corporations, are becoming the norm. Although there are still many traditional family farms, they are quickly dying as modern practices change farm life forever.1.Factory farms now produce most of theproducts. A．TrueB.FalseC.Not Given【答案】A【解析】题干大意：工厂农场现在生产大部分的产品。
Unit 11 Cyber WorldA Famous QuoteThe Internet is becoming the town square for the global village of tomorrow.- Bill GatesBill Gates (1955- ), American business magnate, investor, philanthropist, and author. Gates is the former chief executive officer (CEO) and current chairman of Microsoft, the software company he founded with Paul Allen.Text A Cyber LovePre-reading Questions:1. Have you ever made a friend on the Internet? How did you develop yourfriendship?2. What suggestions can you give if one hopes to make friends on the Internet?Thanks to the late 20th century technology, Maria of Denmark and Martijin of Holland met on a chatline. For months they’ve talked and sent letters to each other with the help of their computers as they found themselves falling head over heels in love. It was then that they decided to meet in the real, not only the virtual, world. It was not easy to arrange as the young man and his lady were separated by 700 very real kilometers, but the date was a success and Maria and M artijin have been living together happily ever since. They’ve created a home page to let the world know how they’ve found happiness via the Internet and introduce couples who’ve met under similar circumstances.Throughout history men and women have used a variety of means to find each other. Internet romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural way for the 90’s to meet potential mates.Romances formed on the Internet follow a characteristic script. The development of emotional intimacy is a long progress, sometimes taking several months. “Love at first byte” is rare although there are examples. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend. Hearts open, an avalanche of e-mail crosses cyberspace carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with verse and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romantic inclinations resist? When you reachfor the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach to look in the in-box for new mail –there’s just no way to escape the fact – love has arrived.How does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance? Perhaps one significant difference is that communication plays such a large part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the Internet we polish our intellect, imagination and personality. In essence, the sequence is reversed –first we show our inner beauty and only after it has won victory does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality at the time of that first meeting in person.It is a popular topic in cyberspace to debate whether or not true love can develop merely on an intellectual level, without physical attraction or the familiarity of the other’s appearance. To put in another way: Does the physical appearance of the man or woman play a part in the relationship if, through the exchange of thoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?Many say it is against the nature of love to be deprived of the sense of sight, the look, the movement, and body language being present. There are those, of course, who favor Internet relationship claiming that the intensity of the emotional relationship that develops in such a way is superior to the mere stirring of the flesh.Whatever the opinion may be on cyber love, it must be said in favor of the Internet that it puts people in touch with those who they otherwise would never have met. I would never have suspected that the first person I met by e-mail would be a German chimney sweeper, with whom, after a year of correspondence, albeit not romantic, a common interest still exists.It is silly to perceive the Net as a demon, when we determine how we meet its challenges. While there are those who can use the Net to their advantage extracting useful information, there are those who become addicts losing common sense, hopping from chat room to chat room, writing piles of e-mails full of lies to chosen victims, and whose virtual reality, the flirtation, become part of their everyday lives, as if a disease. One thing is true – the net is very addictive. According to the confession of a multiple substance addict, it was easier to give up cocaine than the IRC.In any case, keep your eyes open off-line as well. Turn off the machine and go to a dance or a club, because most woman still expect to be courted in a real, old-fashioned, and romantic way.Text B The Impact of the Internet on SocietyPre-reading Questions:1. Can you imagine what your life would be like without the Internet?2. What do you think is the impact of the Internet on society?The Internet has had a profound effect on society over the last two decades. Although it began as a government operation, over time this innovative technology eventually evolve into a public novelty. Looking at society today, one may find that the situation has certainly evolved. For many, the Internet has become an essential for daily living, no longer the fun novelty it was 10 years ago. Even a decade ago if you were to think about whether or not the Internet had a significant impact on society, the answer would likely have been probably not. While the Net may have been considered a neat innovation, it was not like anyone “needed” it.However, over time this perception has changed for many individuals in society. The Internet has become, for the most part, and absolute necessity, either by requirement or by desire. Going online has become as natural as doing other daily tasks people have traditionally done. People take it for granted that the Internet will be available, and dependency on being connected has become the norm. Both business and individuals alike depend upon the routine availability of the Internet. Due to the fact that many business, government agencies ant other organizations have navigated to the online environment, generally people require consistent access, or 24/7 access, if you will.In many ways the Internet has had a very positive effect on society. It has improved communication, simplified handling tasks and errands, offered huge convenience, enabled faster processing, and provided more options, all of which have freed more time to do other things.Yet, interestingly enough the Internet has, in some ways, had negative effects. The quality of communication has declined; people are impatient because they have become accustomed to instant gratification, and using the Internet also takes up a lot of time. As website such as Facebook and other socially based interactions increase in usage, many hours a day are consumed as people keep up with their various networks, taking away from other activities.When looking at it from the latter perspective, one may wonder whether or not the Internet has truly benefited society. Realistically, as with anything else, the Internet has its pros and cons. Tools such as e-mail and instant messaging have become the standard; social networks are quickly evolving into the next level of communication, and people enjoy their constant access. In this respect the benefits of the Internet are tremendous. This is not only evidenced by the many activities people engage in when they connect to the Internet, but also bythe continuous progression and development of mobile devices such as smart-phones.Society has evolved to the point where people expect and rely on reality available information. People also expect to receive rapid responses when doing business ad personal tasks. The Internet makes this possible. Many of the things that society takes for granted nowadays are all made possible by the development of the Internet.What kind of an impact has the Internet had on society? Wrapped up in the advantages and disadvantages one thing is for certain: the Internet has a significant effect on society. To imagine the impact all one has to do is try to envision the consequences if the Internet was suddenly removed from society. Imagine a world where the Internet was unavailable. How would it affect on you? Looking at it from this respect, for many it likely brings to light just how reliant and dependent society has become on the Internet and it would be extremely hard to turn back the clock.。

They’ve created a home page to let the world know how they’ve found happiness via the Internet and introduce couples who’ve met under similar circumstances.Throughout history men and women have used a variety of means to find each other. Internet romance, according to some, is a bizarre method, and to others it is a natural way for the 90’s to meet potential mates.Romances formed on the Internet follow a characteristic script. The development of emotional intimacy is a long progress, sometimes taking several months. “Love at first byte” is rare although there are examples. The initial light exchanges, whether by e-mail or in chat rooms, are generally followed by increasingly self-revealing topics, and then after a while, the two strangers perceive each other as a true friend. Hearts open, an avalanche of e-mail crosses cyberspace carrying literary quality, and electronic messages are even enhanced with verse and virtual gifts (flowers, kisses, animated pictures). Could any heart with romantic inclinations resist? When you reachfor the mouse with sweaty palms and butterflies in the stomach to look in the in-box for new mail –there’s just no way to escape the fact – love has arrived.How does a cyber romance vary from a real life romance? Perhaps one significant difference is that communication plays such a large part. Words that convey feelings have enormous effect. While before a real date we fix our hair and our clothes, on the Internet we polish our intellect, imagination and personality. In essence, the sequence is reversed –first we show our inner beauty and only after it has won victory does the veil fall off the physical vehicle of that personality at the time of that first meeting in person.It is a popular topic in cyberspace to debate whether or not true love can develop merely on an intellectual level, without physical attraction or the familiarity of the other’s appearance. To put in another way: Does the physical appearance of the man or woman play a part in the relationship if, through the exchange of thoughts and feelings, they already fell in love?Many say it is against the nature of love to be deprived of the sense of sight, the look, the movement, and body language being present. There are those, of course, who favor Internet relationship claiming that the intensity of the emotional relationship that develops in such a way is superior to the mere stirring of the flesh.Whatever the opinion may be on cyber love, it must be said in favor of the Internet that it puts people in touch with those who they otherwise would never have met. I would never have suspected that the first person I met by e-mail would be a German chimney sweeper, with whom, after a year of correspondence, albeit not romantic, a common interest still exists.It is silly to perceive the Net as a demon, when we determine how we meet its challenges. While there are those who can use the Net to their advantage extracting useful information, there are those who become addicts losing common sense, hopping from chat room to chat room, writing piles of e-mails full of lies to chosen victims, and whose virtual reality, the flirtation, become part of their everyday lives, as if a disease. One thing is true – the net is very addictive. According to the confession of a multiple substance addict, it was easier to give up cocaine than the IRC.In any case, keep your eyes open off-line as well. Turn off the machine and go to a dance or a club, because most woman still expect to be courted in a real, old-fashioned, and romantic way.Text B The Impact of the Internet on SocietyPre-reading Questions:1. Can you imagine what your life would be like without the Internet?2. What do you think is the impact of the Internet on society?The Internet has had a profound effect on society over the last two decades. Although it began as a government operation, over time this innovative technology eventually evolve into a public novelty. Looking at society today, one may find that the situation has certainly evolved. For many, the Internet has become an essential for daily living, no longer the fun novelty it was 10 years ago. Even a decade ago if you were to think about whether or not the Internet had a significant impact on society, the answer would likely have been probably not. While the Net may have been considered a neat innovation, it was not like anyone “needed” it.However, over time this perception has changed for many individuals in society. The Internet has become, for the most part, and absolute necessity, either by requirement or by desire. Going online has become as natural as doing other daily tasks people have traditionally done. People take it for granted that the Internet will be available, and dependency on being connected has become the norm. Both business and individuals alike depend upon the routine availability of the Internet. Due to the fact that many business, government agencies ant other organizations have navigated to the online environment, generally people require consistent access, or 24/7 access, if you will.In many ways the Internet has had a very positive effect on society. It has improved communication, simplified handling tasks and errands, offered huge convenience, enabled faster processing, and provided more options, all of which have freed more time to do other things.Yet, interestingly enough the Internet has, in some ways, had negative effects. The quality of communication has declined; people are impatient because they have become accustomed to instant gratification, and using the Internet also takes up a lot of time. As website such as Facebook and other socially based interactions increase in usage, many hours a day are consumed as people keep up with their various networks, taking away from other activities.When looking at it from the latter perspective, one may wonder whether or not the Internet has truly benefited society. Realistically, as with anything else, the Internet has its pros and cons. Tools such as e-mail and instant messaging have become the standard; social networks are quickly evolving into the next level of communication, and people enjoy their constant access. In this respect the benefits of the Internet are tremendous. This is not only evidenced by the many activities people engage in when they connect to the Internet, but also bythe continuous progression and development of mobile devices such as smart-phones.Society has evolved to the point where people expect and rely on reality available information. People also expect to receive rapid responses when doing business ad personal tasks. The Internet makes this possible. Many of the things that society takes for granted nowadays are all made possible by the development of the Internet.What kind of an impact has the Internet had on society? Wrapped up in the advantages and disadvantages one thing is for certain: the Internet has a significant effect on society. To imagine the impact all one has to do is try to envision the consequences if the Internet was suddenly removed from society. Imagine a world where the Internet was unavailable. How would it affect on you? Looking at it from this respect, for many it likely brings to light just how reliant and dependent society has become on the Internet and it would be extremely hard to turn back the clock.。
