Sir Nicholas Winton was a British man who went to heroic efforts, potentially putting himself at risk, during World War II.

Some fifty years later, his wife Greta was searching in their house and discovered a Winton’s notebook which documented the names of all the children. She worked with BBC and they produced a TV episode (插曲) of their program “That’s Life〞 that served as an honor for Sir Winton’s work.In 2003, Sir Winton was knighted by the Queen of England for his work.

选修8 Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors会晤祖先晨读·记忆A murderWhen giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten. The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album showing that they used to have a gay life。

But，fed up with her wrinkled face，he murdered her instead of divorcing her to avoid fortune division。

He cut up a kind of seashell with a sharpened knife，and hammered it into powder on a skateboard, and made at most one gram，which was enough to accelerate one’s pulse until he or she dies。

This kind of poison can date back to 10，000 BC when people rubbed it on spears to kill beasts。

The professor mixed the poison with onion，watermelon and yogurt for his wife. Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzy and died soon.After tentative examination, the police assumed she died of heart disease. But systematic botanical analyses showed that the watermelon spit on the messy mat and the quilt was poisonous. Regardless of exhaustion and starvation，the acute and skilful policemen used radioactive equipment to make sure the category of the poison. Primitive and not ample as their alternative equipment was, they got perfect accuracy somehow。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors李仕才一、阅读理解。

Persuasion is to convince someone to agree with you, just like art which also calls for special techniques to accomplish. According to the ancient Greeks, there are three basic tools of persuasion: ethos, pathos and logos.Ethos is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience that he is trustworthy, honest and reliable. One common way a speaker can develop ethos is by explaining how much experience or education he has in the field. After all, you’re more likely to lis ten to advice about how to take care of your teeth from a dentist than a fireman.Pathos is a speaker’s way of connecting with an audience's emotions. For example, a politician who is trying to convince an audience to vote for him might say that he alone can save the country from a terrible war. These words are intended to fill the audience with fear, thus making them want to vote for him. Similarly, an animal charity might show an audience pictures of injured dogs and cats to make the viewers feel pity, so they will be more likely to donate money.Logos is the use of facts, statistics or other evidence to support your argument. An audience will believe you if you have convincing data to back up your claims. Presenting this evidence is much more persuasive t han simply saying “believe me”.Although ethos, pathos and logos all have their strengths, they are often most effective when used together. So, the next time you listen to a speech, watch a commercial or listen to a friend try to convince you to lend him some money, be on the lookout for these ancient Greek tools of persuasion.1.What is the purpose of persuasion?A. To advise somebody to support you.B. To help someone have special skillC. To convince somebody to realize his aim.D. To talk someone into being honest.2.What is a speaker’s way of convincing the audience to trust him?A. Pathos.B. Ethos.C. Logos.D. Education.3.What do a politician and an animal charity have in common?A. Both prevent themselves from being hurt.B. Both save people from terrible wars.C. Both make the audience support them.D. Both persuade people to donate money.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Convince the AudienceB. Three Basic Tools of PersuasionC. Believe MeD. Strength of Persuasion【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了源自于古希腊且一直沿用至今的说服他人的艺术，其中包括ethos、pathos、logos三种方式以及用这三种方式说服他人在各个领域应用的可能性。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors李仕才一、阅读理解Recent months have seen a revival of the humble（普通的）bike across China， with an increasing number of people choosing pedaling（骑车）instead of driving to school, to workplaces or to do sightseeing。

The introduction of bike—sharing systems， services in which bicycles are made available for shared use to individuals who do not own them and pioneered by start—ups like Ofo and Mobike， has brought the trend to a new level。

Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors李仕才一、阅读理解。

You may not think it very much—a used ice cream tub(纸杯) on the beach,a cigarette butt in the sand. But these little pieces of litter amount to around8.8 million tons of trash in the world's oceans, poisoning and choking sealife, according to figures from the World Wildlife Foundation.Now, in a set of images titled The Price Of Convenience by Waters has shown the destroying effects that casual littering has on creatures. In one image called “your convenience is their extinction”, a sea turtle's shell is hollowed out(掏空) and filled with banana skins, soda cans, and other debris.“It is shocking the amount of trash in the oceans,” Waters, 23, said, describing his project which he has begun a campaign to t he WWF. “When you leave litter on the beach,you are treating the ocean like a trash can. When you throw trash over the side of a boat, you're treating the ocean like a trash can. And when you leave litter at a beach festival or party, it's the same.Obviously it would be impossible to clean the oceans but I felt I had to try something.”Waters explained that he, like many other Westerners, has always been aware of environmental concerns but did not begin to do something about i.The turning point came as he visited Malaysia with his girlfriend last year. He reached the shore to find piles of trash.But it was beautiful, the smell of the air, of the ocean.I had a strong feeling for it after I started researching trash in the ocean. A few months later, he came across the video of a sea turtle in obvious agony(痛苦) with a drinking straw stuck up its nostrils(鼻孔).That video inspired the first of Waters' three images. “Sea turtles are such gentle creatures. I felt sick watching that video.Trash left on a beach by humans caused so much pain and suffering.These animals don't have voices so we've got to speak up for them.” he added.Waters has not yet received a response from WWF regarding his images.For now, he says, he is inspired to develop more campaigns that raise awareness of environmental concerns.1.What can be found in the sea turtle's shell according to the passage?A.Some ice cream.B.Some drawings.C.Some litter.D.Some creatures.2.Why did the turtle in the video seem very painful?A.Because its nostrils were full of cigarette butts.B.Because it had been poisoned and seemed to be dying.C.Because most of its body parts had been injured seriously.D.Because there was a drinking straw stuck up its nostrils.3.Water's trying something aims to ________.A.make the polluted ocean become cleanB.remind people awareness of ocean pollutionC.improve his skill of drawing picturesD.get some support from the WWF参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.B解析： 1.[细节理解题。

When humans first 1 , they were like newborn children, unable to use this 2 tool. Yet once language developed, the possibilities for human kind‘s future 3 and cultural growth increased.Many linguists believe that evolution is 4 for our ability to produce and use language. They 5 that our highly evolved brain provides us 6 an innate language ability not found in lower 7 . Proponents of this innateness theory say that our 8 for language is inborn, but that language itself develops gradually, 9 a function of the growth of the brain during childhood. Therefore there are critical 10 times for language development.Current 11 of innateness theory are mixed, however, evidence supporting the existence of some innate abilities is undeniable. 12 , more and more schools are discovering that foreign languages are best taught in 13 grades. Young children often can learn several languages by being 14 to them, while adults have a much harder time learning another language once the 15 of their first language have become firmly fixed.16 some aspects of language are undeniably innate, language does not develop automatically in a vacuum. Children who have been 17 from other human beings do not possess language. This demonstrates that 18 with other human beings is necessary for proper language development. Some linguists believe that this is even more basic to human language 19 than any innate capacities. These theorists view language as imitative, learned behavior. 20 , children learn language from their parents by imitating them. Parents gradually shape their child's language skills by positively reinforcing precise imitations and negatively reinforcing imprecise ones.1.A.generated B.evolved C.born D.originated2.A.valuable B.appropriate C.convenient D.favorite3.A.attainments B.feasibility C.entertainments D.evolution4.A.essential B.available C.reliable D.responsible5.A.confirm rm C.claim D.convince6.A.for B.from C.of D.withanizations anisms C.humans D.children8.A.potential B.performance C.preference D.passion9.A.as B.just as C.like D.unlike10.A.ideological B.biological C.social D.psychological11.A.reviews B.reference C.reaction D.recommendation12.A.In a word B.In a sense C.Indeed D.In other words13.A.various B.different C.the higher D.the lower14.A.revealed B.exposed C.engaged D.involved15.A.regulations B.formations C.rules D.constitutions16.A.Although B.Whether C.Since D.When17.A.distinguished B.different C.protected D.isolated18.A.exposition parison C.contrast D.interaction19.A.acquisition B.appreciation C.requirement D.alternative20.A.As a result B.After all C.In other words D.Above all【答案与解析】1.
