10.called(call) The Description of the World according to Marco’s stories in China.Ⅰ.阅读理解ARobert Michael Lipsyte is an American sports journalist and author.He was born on January 16,1938 in New York.Lipsyte’s father was a school head teacher,his mother a teacher.Instead of sharing a game of catch with his father,the two often visited the library and read books.One of Lipsyte’s children,Sam Lips yte,is also an author and teacher at Columbia University in New York.In the first chapter of his book SportsWorld,Lipsyte points out that he did not even attend his first Major League Baseball game until he was thirteen years old.Lipsyte says he was very disappointed with his experience at the game and went to only one more game“as a paying customer”.His third Major League Baseball game was as a sports reporter for The New York Times.As a boy,Lipsyte did play sports,but he felt acute pressure to do better than others at sports which discouraged his interest.This experience later developed into a major theme in some of Lipsyte’s nonfiction works such as SportsWorld and novelslike Jock and Jill and One Fat Summer.The main character of One Fat Summer,Bobby Marks,is an adolescent in the 1950s.He is overweight and does something about it.In 1952,Lipsyte took a summer job as a lawn(草坪) boy and lost forty pounds,ridding himself of the youthful reputation for being fat.In 1978,Robert Lipsyte was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer.His experience with the illness led to another novel for young adults,The Chemo Kid.Fred Bauer,the main character,is an ordinary high school junior and discovers he has cancer.Amazingly,Fred acquires superpowers,apparently due to the treatments,and bees “The Chemo Kid”,fighting for the environment and against drug dealers.Lipsyte was given a position in the New Jersey Literary Hall of Fame (名人堂) in 1993.The Margaret A.Edwards Award is an American Library Association literary award that annually recognizes an author and a specific body of his or her work for “significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature”.Lipsyte won the award in 2001,citing(表彰) four books published from 1967 to 1993.According to the citation,“Lipsyte’s books focus on the search for selfdefinition by young adults.”1.What can we learn about Lipsyte?A.He devoted his childhood to sports.B.He taught at Columbia University.C.He came from an educated family.D.He has only one child in his life.2.What did Lipsyte do the second time he went to a Major League Baseball game?A.He watched the game.B.He reported the game.C.He played the game and lost it.D.He collected material for his book.3.What do Bobby Marks and young Lipsyte have in mon?A.They didn’t play sports.B.They didn’t like summer.C.They dealt with their weight problem.D.They reached adulthood in the 1950s.4dwards Award in 2001?A.Because he has achieved widespread fame.B.Because he has written good books for teens.C.Because he has talked about hot topics in his books.D.Because he has published a significant number of books.B(2016·广州毕业班测试一)Earlier this year,the social media website Facebook announced that it would work with several news organizations—including The New York Times,The Guardian,and the BBC—to place news stories directly into users’ personal Facebook webpage.Stories published using Facebook Instant Articles will load more quickly and keep the style of the original publisher,who will keep all the advertising ine the stories earn at least for now.The deal shows how important social media has bee to news organizations,and is a clear sign of how the world of news is changing and has been for a while.When Google News began in 2002,many saw it as the death of the newspaper.It had no human editor.Instead Google used and still uses a secret puter program that selects and displays news stories according to the reader’s personal interests.More recently,Associated Press and Yahoo!have been publishing puterwritten articles.Both use special software to automatically produce stories about pany financial results and sports reports—areas where the quality of writing is felt to be of secondary importance to the accuracy of the data.Should we be worried about such developments?I think we should.One concern is that Facebook,Google and other social media websites see journalism as a sideline,a way of putting people in front of advertisements.It isn’t their primary function—so if it stops making them lots of money,they’re likely to stop doing it.There’s also a concern that puterwritten articles are not actually journalism at all,because what a human news team produces is actually quite plex.A wellwrittennews story puts information in context,offers a voice to each side of an argument and brings the public new knowledge.Though economics and speed of delivery mean readers will probably choose a puterwritten story over a carefully shaped article—at least for daily news—I don’t think puters will be writing any indepth articles for a while yet.5.What is the main purpose of the article?A.To report on a new puter service offered by Facebook.B.To advise readers against reading puterwritten news.C.To express concerns about recent trends in online news.D.To describe the process of online news reporting.6.puterwritten news reports have so far focused on sports and finance because .A.these are the most popular topics for online readersB.there are fewer journalists specialising in these areasrmation on these topics is more easily availableD.writing style is less important than accuracy in these areas7.What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.Journalism.B.Advertising.C.Facebook.D.Business.8.In Paragraph 4,which of the following is mentioned as a characteristic of a wellwritten news article?A.The information presented is uptodate.B.The author’s opinion is clear.C.Different views on the topic are presented.D.The language used is vivid.CDiscovering the beauty of the science and math that shape our everyday lives，an experience in WonderLab will fuel your imagination and inspire you to see the world around you in new and exciting ways.e and enjoy yourself!What to seeSpread across seven different zones，there're loads of opportunities to get hands on with real scientific phenomena.Observe live experiments at our

Unit 4 Making the news(建议用时：40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2024·福建泉州质检)Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight. When she was thirteen, she was surfing the Internet on a regular basis, but she couldn’t find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk. And one day she thought, “If I had my own website, I’d make it a really interesting site for teenagers.”Consequently, when Ashley was sixteen, she started her own website called GooseHead. She had no idea how big a success it would be, but three years later, the site was the most successful teen site in the USA! It was getting 100，000 hits every day, and Ashley had about 30 employees.After a few years, the website closed down. Then Ashley, who lived in Los Angeles, was asked to write a book called GooseHead Guide to Life. The book is about how to design a website and start a business. It begins with a section called “All about Ashley”， where Ashley tells readers what it’s like to be the boss of a company w hen you’re only sixteen—not always easy!In her book, Ashley talks about the problems that teenagers have today plus the importance of friendship. She also focuses on being independent. “Learn to love your friends but not rely on them. I did that by creati ng GooseHead on my own.”Ashley says that GooseHead Guide to Life is not a book of teenage advice. “It isn’t a book that’s going to tell you what to do. I hope you can work that out by yourself，” she says. “I just want to provide a little inspiration for teenagers. Maybe after reading my story, you’ll start your own website! But perhaps you’ve got a better idea? Well, if I were you, I’d just do it, whatever it is. Maybe it won’t work—but maybe it will.”【解题导语】本文主要讲解并描述了阿什莉·鲍尔勇于追梦的故事。

A．angry feeling can cause many diseasesB．it is more dangerous to hide one’s anger in heartC．anger can cause medical problems unless dealt with properlyD．expressing one’s anger frequently will benefit your health2．Which of the following is the best way to deal with anger according to doctors? A．Admitting being angry and knowing the reason why you are angry.B．Keeping yourself calm and try not to lose temper whatever happens.C．Telling jokes or finding humour whenever you get angry.D．Managing to cool down and expressing yourself calmly.3．The title for the passage may be________.A．Ways for Keeping FitB．Anger Is Dangerous to Your HealthC．The Cause of AngerD．Damaging Emotion。

Recently some Chinese educational experts did a survey among more than 1，000 students from Beijing and Guangzhou on their favourite festivals. About half of the respondents choose the Spring Festival as their most favourite. Next comes Christmas Day and Mothers' / Fathers' Day, with 20% and 10% respectively. However，Mid­autumn Day accounts for less than 10%.From the survey，we can see although 80% of the students are familiar with our traditional festivals, like the Spring Festival, more and more young people favour the foreign festivals.语言知识精析重点单词精讲考点1．delighted adj.快乐的；欣喜的【教材原句】We're delighted you're coming to work with us.非常高兴你来和我们一起工作。
