Module 3Section ⅣGrammar & Writing课时作业Ⅰ.单句语法填空1.You will never gain success unless you are devoted to your work fully.2.(2019·北京朝阳区期末)Having a hobby is good for you. It doesn't matter what it is as/so long as it drives you forward.3.Small sailboats can easily turn over in the water if they are not managed carefully.4.Whatever difficulties they may come across, they will help one another to get over them.5.John may phone tonight. I don't want to go out in case he phones.6.They will never succeed in passing the driving test, however hard they try.7.Whenever I have to give a speech,I get extremely nervous before I start.8.(福建卷)Though/Although/While the students came from different countries, they got along quite well in the summer camp.9.Bravely as/though we fought in the competition, we had no chance of winning.10.(2019·四川雅安中学月考)Whether it is right or wrong, his opinion should be paid attention to.Ⅱ.阅读理解AAll of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地), as well as with words.Most of the time we're not aware that we're doing it.We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else's eyes and look away, change positions in a chair.These actions we think are occasional(偶然的).However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent(一致的) and understandable as language.One important kind of body language is eye behavior.Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another's eye.In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away.When two Americans look searchingly into each other's eyes, they become moreintimate.Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.Researchers who are studying communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释), too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than it is usual, it can be a sign of respect; it can be a challenge to the professor's authority(权威); it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.Communication between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.【解题导语】本文通过举例子说明身势语在交流上同语言一样重要。

This is true in most cases, for example on a doorbell. But some buttons are actually fake, like the “close” button on a lift.Many people are in the habit of pressing the “close” button because they don't have the patience to wait for the lift doors to shut. But lifts' “close” buttons are a complete trick, at least in the US—the doorswill not close any faster no matter how hard you press.It started in the 1990s when the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed in the US, making sure that all lifts stayed open long enough so that people with disabilities could enter. Only US firefighters and repairmen can use the buttons to speed up the door-closing process if they have a code or special keys.But to normal lift riders, the buttons aren't completely useless. According to psychologists, fake buttons can actually make you feel better by offering you a sense of control.“A sense of control is very important. It reduces stress and increases well-being,”said Ellen J. Langer,a psychology professor at Harvard University. Experts also added that a lot of buttons that don't do anything exist in our lives for this same purpose.For example, pedestrian crosswalk buttons don't live up to their names either. Pressing them used tohelp make the traffic signals change faster, but that was before computer controlled traffic signals were introduced.But psychologists found it interesting that even when people are aware of these little “white lies”,they still continue to push fake buttons because as long as the doors eventually close, it is considered to be worth the effort.21. What was the author's purpose in writing the text?A.To analyse the functions of fake buttons.B.To describe different kinds of fake buttons.C.To explore different habits of pushing buttons.D.To explain the disadvantages of fake buttons.22. What can we learn about the “close” buttons on a lift in America?A.They work when people press them hard.B.They were designed for a sense of control.C.They never speed up the door-closing process.D.They take the safety of the disabled into account.23.What can we infer about pedestrian crosswalk buttons?A.They can make people feel better.B.They help computers work faster.C.They can control the traffic signals.D.They help pedestrians cross safely.24.Which may be the best title for the passage?A.Buttons in the USAB.Buttons always lieC.Buttons may not workD.“Close” buttons on liftsⅥ.阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

According to the first paragraph, what is implied as basics in achieving success?A. Ability and goals.B. Goals and determination.C. Ability and environments.D. Goals and environments.2. Some ri ch people consider themselves unsuccessful because________.A. their life is busy and miserableB.they haven ’t reached their own standardsC. they set their goals at a too low levelD. they are not rich in material possessions3. From the last paragraph we can tell that________.A. success means achieving great goalsB. success comes from setting great goalsC. success means efforts and favorites pa y offD. success has nothing to do with the distance of your travelB(2013 ·长沙二模 ) Handling a wad of cash may be as good at killing pain than ibuprofen (布洛芬 ) or aspirin , a new study suggests.Researchers at the University of Minnesota carried out a series of studies which showed those who counted money before taking part in an experiment where they weresubjected to low levels of pain felt less discomfort than those who did not.It ’s thought that fondling notes and coins helps ward off pain by boostingfeelings ofself-worth and self-sufficiency.Previous studies have shown those with a gre ater sense of self-worth may be more likely to bear pain.Britain spends at least£500 million a year on over-the-counter painkilling pills and the figure is increasing every year.But scientists remainpuzzled by why some people appear to feel pain more easily than others.In the latest study , a group of students were asked to count out a wad of cash consisting of 80one-hundred dollar bills,or just 80 slips of blank paper.They had been told researchers were simply testing their dexterity (娴熟 ) in handling the notes.Each volunteer was then asked to dip their hands into a bowl of very hot water ,to see how painful they found it and how long they could last.The results, published in a recent edition of the journal PsychologicalScience,showed those who had handled money reported less pain and lasted longer.The results support other studies highlighting how the brain can be tuned to fight off pain without the use of pills.A University of Los Angeles team of scientists found just looking at a photograph of a loved one can also be a powerful form of pain relief.They recommended anyonevisiting hospital for painful tests or examinations should bring a picture to help them cope.And patients who have had major surgery, such as a knee or hip replacement,can halve the amount of painkilling medicine they need simply by stroking a pet,according to tests at Loyola University in Chicago.4. Handling money can prevent pain because ________.A. we are confident in our usefulnessB. we can afford the expenses of the treatmentC. we can do everything with the moneyD.we can’t live without money5.The phrase“over-the-counter painkilling pills” refer to pills________.A. that can be obtained outside the drug storeB. that can be bought without a prescriptionC. that are placed on the counter of the storeD. that are purchased with a written order from a doctor6. Which of the following may least kill pain?A. Counting out a wad of cashes.B. Looking at the picture of a loved one.C. Handling a group of blank paper.D. Walking a pet.7. What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A. Money Makes Something Impossible PossibleB. Money Has a Magic Power in TreatingPatients C. Money Brings Comfort to PainSuffers D. Money Kills Pains Better than Aspirin8.

Ⅰ.阅读理解Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France on December 27,1822.His family was poor, and during his early education Pasteur was an ordinary student who enjoyed art and singing.However, when Pasteur was exposed to science as a teenager, he knew he had found his career.In 1838,Pasteur went to college to become a science teacher.He then became a chemistry professor at the University of Strasbourg.He got married in 1849 and had five children.However, three died young from typhoid fever(伤寒症).It was the deaths of his children that drove Pasteur to investigate the infectious disease in order to find a cure.During Pasteur's time, people believed that bacteria appeared due to “spontaneous generation (自然发生)”.They thought that bacteria just appeared out of nowhere.Pasteur carried out experiments to see if this was true.Through his experiments he proved that germs were living things that came from other living things.They didn't just spontaneously appear.This was a major discovery in the study of biology.Now Pasteur is known as the father of microbiology.As Pasteur learned more about bacteria, he began to think they may be the cause of diseases in humans.When the French silk market was threatened by a disease to silkworms (蚕), Pasteur decided to investigate.He discovered that this disease was caused by germs.By killing them, he was able to cease the disease and save the French silk business.Today Louis Pasteur is known as one of the most important scientists in history.His discoveries led to an understanding of bacteria and diseases that has helped to save millions and millions of lives.本文主要介绍了历史上生物领域的一位伟大科学家。

The rules are as follows:Appreciate the Person.Most Americans like to be recognized as individuals as someone special with unique personalities.Therefore,never say,“You’re from America so I want to be your friend.” Also don’ t imply that the reason why you approached them is that you wanted someone to practice your English with.That turns people off.Instead try saying,“You seem like a real nice and interesting person and I would like to get to know you better.” This way,they are much more inclined to be friendly because you see them as a three dimensional person and appreciate them for who they are in the inside.And by doing so,you not only learn about Americans and practice your English,but also gain a real friend in the process.Quit Calling Us Foreigners.Please avoid calling a foreigner a foreigner especially in his face.The word makes people feel like an outsider,and even unwelcome,suggesting separation and insurmountable differences,widening an already existing gap in the situation.When Americans travel,they rarely say,“I’m foreign to your place.” They tend to say,“I’m new in town.I’m new here.” The reason is because new and unfamiliar things can become old and familiar.But can foreign things become native? Aha? You catch my drift.Just Do It.Some students like to be told about American culture but are less interested in spending the time and the effort to actually experience it.As Americans always say,“Get_your_hands_dirty.” You should have first hand and hands on experience,or you’ll never really know anything.Find that Common Language.Now I must stress the importance of finding a common language.By that I don’t mean English,Chinese,German,French,etc.I mean finding something you have in common with another person on a spiritual and philosophical level:likes,dislikes,worldviews,ways of thinking,and attitudes toward life.And to start,you must first enhance your knowledge of the particular culture from which your potential new friend comes from.1.The underlined sentence “Get your hands dirty” means________.A.get involved B.start with dirty workC.talk about American culture D.don’t wash your hands too often2.Americans prefer to make friends with those who________.A.avoid talking about their homelandB.recognize their personalitiesC.obey rules of communicating with friendsD.needn’t practise English while playing together3.According to the passage,which of the following is friendly?A.I am longing to make friends with an American.B.This is my friend Tom,who is a foreigner.C.There must be a gap between us in many things.D.You’ve got a great personality.4.In the last paragraph,the author suggests we should________.A.learn at least one foreign language wellB.find common interests or opinions with our potential new friendsC.make sure we can understand each otherD.ask where our potential new friends come fromⅢ.七选五(2011·吉林省实验中学高三第二次模拟考试) May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States.This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission in the fall.But according to a recent report,there is a great change.Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever.1.________These days,college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier.2.________ On the other hand,deciding students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time.Students may not like being put on waiting lists.Also,common colleges work more to get the students they accept to accept them.Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight.Some universities send gifts.3.________For many families,the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money,especially this year;the weak economy makes parents nervous.4.________The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected student’s loans.So lately,top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students.5.________The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down.This will happen as the last of the children of the baby boom generation finish high school.The number is not expected to start rising again until 2015.A.Besides,top colleges are facing changes in the population.B.What contributes to it?C.But a mistake can be costly if it happens.D.But top colleges ignore them.E.They have international students who know English.F.It can mean several acceptances to choose from.G.They cannot afford college as planned.Ⅳ.短文改错(2011·吉林省实验中学高三第二次模拟考试) Time fly like an arrow.I’m already in the second half of Senior Grade 3 before I realized it.It is only a little more than three months before I graduate middle school.At the present,I’m busy review my les sons in order to take the College Entrance Examination.I hope to go to Beijing University,that is one of the best universities not only in China but also in the world.I’ll try my best turn my dream to reality.Most of my classmates are also studying very hard to realize our wishes.I do believe everyone will be able to enter an university or college.Ⅴ.书面表达(2011·杭州学军中学高三年级第一次月考)假如你是李华,你们学校最近开展了创建“平安校园”的活动。

Nothing can exceed the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you! It may be an idea or a bit of information you come across accidentally or a sudden understanding, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal encounters are the “payoff” in education. A teacher may direct you to learning and even encourage you in it—but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That's up to you.A research paper, assigned in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, leads you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a process where the joy of discovery and learning can come to you many times. Preparing the research paper is an active and individual process, and an ideal learning process. It provides a structure within which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, which are basic to education. The research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to suit a pieceof work to your own interests and abilities and to show others what you can do. Writing a research paper is more than a classroom exercise. It is an experience in searching out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills applicable to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovery, an education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly satisfying experience!To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages, often more than ever produced before, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work independently is threatening. But there is no need to approach paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to overcome. Instead, consider it a goal to accomplish, a goal within reach if you use the help this passage can give you.31.According to the writer, personal discoveries in study ________.A.will give one encouragement and directionB.are helpful in finding the right informationC.are the most valuable part of one's personal educationD.will help one to successfully complete school assignments32.It can be inferred from the passage that writing a research paper gives one chances ________.A.to fully develop one's personal abilitiesB.to practice the skills learnt in the classroomC.to prove that one is a productive writerD.to show how well one can accomplish school assignments33.From the context, the underlined word “encounters”(Para. 1) most probably means “________”.A.interests B.experiencesC.entertainments D.abilities34.What will probably follow this passage?A.How to write a research paper.B.The importance of research in education.C.How to make new discoveries for oneself.D.The skill of putting pieces of information together.Ⅳ.短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。

However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold,rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of life's greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in children's early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that don't help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says it's the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.While teaching children key concepts for analysing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools aren't to blame when it comes to not arresting students' lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.21.What does the underlined word “inclination” mean?A.Energy.B.Task.C.Intention.D.Requirement.22.What does the term “Readicide” refer to?A.To develop reading habits.B.To read for pleasure.C.To learn reading skills.D.To kill the love for books.23.According to the text, teachers at school .A.focus on teaching reading strategiesB.ignore key concepts for analysing textsC.are to blame for students' poor readingD.fail to follow the traditional reading practices24.What might be the best title for the text?A.Reading books is to experience pleasureB.Learning to love books is even more importantC.Teaching reading helps reluctant readersD.Getting pleasure from books makes capable readersⅥ.阅读七选五根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Although people value intelligence—understanding, reasoning, the ability to learn—they also respect wisdom, or the knowledge and experience that they gain over a lifetime. In some ways, wisdom is like beauty: we value it, we desire it, we know it when we see it, but it is nearly impossible to pin down such a nice quality. 251.Working at being social.Studies show that people who stay connected to others show higher levels of wisdom than those who remain alone. 26 Next time you're at a party or gathering, single out someone who's standing alone and strike up a conversation.2.27Wisdom involves being able to understand all sides of an issue without letting emotions or personal feelings get in the way. Being open-minded means finding empathy and realizing that everyone has a life story that influences his/her actions. During the course of every day, make a note of the issues that annoy you, and take a moment to see them from the other side.3.Learning how to say “I could be wrong”.A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life is likely to take unexpected turns. 28 Admitting that there are times when you could be mistaken will go a long way in strengthening your fame.4.Reading the news.29 If you don't already read a daily paper or news online, start by going through a single front-page article from a major respected news source.Almost everyone has the potential to become wiser, particularly if you strengthen these habits.A.Practising being open-minded.B.Sharing good news with your friends.C.But researchers have tried and here's what they've found.D.Recognizing your errors can lead only to even greater wisdom.E.Make an effort to join a new club, or invite an old friend for coffee.F.You do not have to admit your mistakes if you are really unwilling to.G.You cannot make balanced choices unless you understand world circumstances.Ⅶ.短文改错When it comes to share secrets with parents, I would rather keep it from my parents. Of course, I may meet difficulties. But I prefer to overcome them by myself.For the one thing, I don't want to make my parents worried and I don't think my parents can understand me good. After all, the environment that my parents grew up was quite different from yours. For another, I think it's time of me to be independent.Once I have a quarrel with one of my classmate. Instead of running to my mum, I asked my best friend for help. In word, I don't think we should share secrets with parents.课时作业(二十二)Ⅰ.1.leading 2.graduation 3.physically4.personality5.RelativelyⅡ.6.a7.in8.have been opened9.was blown10.beyondⅢ.11.by accident12.brought up13.As a result of/Because of14.A large quantity of15.In case ofⅣ.16.by making mistakes and correcting them17.in case I see something that18.It is clear that19.the key to wasting less food20.causing heavy trafficⅤ.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文,主要讨论了让孩子爱上阅读的话题。
