必修3Unit 7The Sea能力提升题组训练(A)Ⅰ.阅读Every ocean lover knows the dangers of getting caught in a rip current (离岸流).Experienced swimmers know it is relatively easy to escape the narrow channel of the fast moving water by floating and allowing it to drag you further into the ocean or by swimming alongside the shore.However,inexperienced beachgoers often panic,and try to swim to land,placing themselves at risk of drowning due to tiredness.According to the US National Ocean Service,the currents kill about 100 Americans each year and account for 80% of all lifeguard rescues.These scary statistics may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to Clever Girl,a smart buoy (浮标) that warns swimmers of the presence of deadly rip currents.The smart device is the brainchild of Australian teenager Maddison King,who created Clever Girl as a project for her Grade 12 Design and Technology class.The 18-year-old,who works as a lifeguard during her spare time,came up with the brilliant idea after discovering that most children were unable to detect rip currents.The basketball-sized plastic buoy,which can be attached to a chain of similar devices or the ocean floor,is fitted with a small propeller (螺旋桨).When the water travels at speed of over 70 centimeters per second,itspins the propeller fast enough to power the light atop the buoy,warning swimmers to stay clear of the area.Though it sounds simple enough,the youngster had to overcome numerous design challenges.For instance,she picked a red light since it is easy to see in the bright sunlight and also because the color serves as auniversal warning sign for tourists that do not speak the local language.The device’s smooth surface and high handles ensure swimmers do not get hurt,while the black,white,and red striped underside,keeps sharks and other animals at bay.Future versions might include something like a warning siren,which would provide sound warnings of rip currents.Besides,the present model cost about $300 to make.“That’s beyond my purse.”she laughs,“the cost has to be cut down.”1.Which of the following is the right way to escape the rip current?A.Waiting for rescues.B.Swimming to the shore.C.Moving fast in the water.D.Floating with the water.2.Why did Maddison decide to invent Clever Girl?A.She wanted to challenge her creativity.B.She was motivated by her working experience.C.She was supposed to complete it for her class.D.She was scared by the statistics of the government.3.What do we know about the present version of Clever Girl?A.It’s not available on the market.B.It’s quite attractive for sea animals.C.It’s based on a complex theory.D.It can give warnings in different ways.4.What could the future version of Clever Girl be like?A.Safer and greener.B.Cheaper and safer.C.Greener and more effective.D.Cheaper and more effective.语篇解读:对于每一位海洋爱好者来说,被困于离岸流是很危险的。

But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum(卢浮宫博物馆) where it is housed.―The thin, wooden panel on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago,‖ the museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but r epairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their current chemical state(化学状态).Nearly 6 million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery o f her smile. ―It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then you look at her and she stops,‖ said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. ―It’s because direct vision (视觉) is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.‖However, the actual history of the Mona Lisa is just as mysterious as the smile. Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.In 1911, the painting was stolen from the Louvre by a former employee, who took it out of the museum hidden under his coat. He said he panned to return it to Italy. Thepainting was sent back to France two years later.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.46. What does the writer mean by ―time is catching up with the Mona Lisa‖?A. The painting woman is not so beautiful any more.B. Ageing is something that affects us all.C. The painting needs repairing.D. At such an old age, she is no longer popular.47. What makes the repair work difficult?A. The wooden panel is thin and old.B. No one knows exactly what materials were used to create the painting and how it might respond to treatment.C. The health of the painting is suffering.D. Experts can’t agree on how to carry out repairs.48. What makes her so mysterious according to Professor Livingston?A. The materials the Italian artist used.B. The way she smiles.C. The way Da Vinci painted the smile.D. It plays a trick upon the human eyesB篇Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. ―We will rest here tonight, my men,‖ he said, ―Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.‖They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill.Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland②.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it.
