The new Ford Escape has a radar enabled adaptive cruise control(巡航车速操纵装置) to avoid collisions ，with sensors on the front and side of the car.Ford's Mark Schirmer says the electronic system can be accessed through the dashboard or a smartphone.“I am from Michigan.If it is a cold morning ，I can have it start up right before I am scheduled to leave to go to the airport or go to work.You can find your car or if one of your family members borrows the car ，it will show you exactly where it is ，”said Schirmer.Third party products now in development ，like this emergency warning system ，help drivers who fail to hear an approaching siren.A near miss with an ambulance inspired the product from the Chicago start up HAAS ，co founded by Cory Hohs.“It scared me enough that I started looking for a product that would alert me when they are coming ，”said Hohs.A sobriety detector(清醒度检测器) from a Canadian company called Sober Steering is sold to companies with fleets of vehicles ，such as buses.Chief Operating Officer Catherine Carroll says a sensor on the steering wheel can detect alcohol vapors emitted from the skin.“If I am drinking and I have levels above a preset limit ，it immobilizes the vehicle ，so you cannot move the vehicle that you are driving ，”said Carroll.One company founder says the connected technology is playing an important role in people's daily life.He says，“You can buy a washing machine，you can buy a microwave that has Wi Fi and connects to a router.Also the connected technology of the cars has become as important as performance and styling.”[语篇解读] 本文为一篇说明文。

高考英语一轮复习：Unit 4 Pygmalion(建议用时：40分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2020·重庆七校联考)J. K. Rowling frequently shows thereis magic every day.Her Harry Potter series has helped peoplethrough times of stress and depression and she is always thereto deliver wise words of encouragement.She is one celebrity who is very active on Twitter. So when a single dad named Matt Burke sent her a message thanking her for the series, she noticed. Her series had helped strengthen his relationship with his 9­year­old daughter Bailey.He included a link to his article titled Being a Broke Parent. He explained how he hadn’t found a level of financial stability that allowed him to pay bills on time and take his daughter on more activities and events. The family also doesn’t have the Internet or TV, which means there’s no “digital babysitter” and he has to rely on his own creative ways to bond with his daughter. Since he received the series, the main thing that has occupied them these days is reading books together.Burke admits that he thought he was “too cool” for the books when they first came out and he was in his twenties, but he’s loving reading them now. “We switch off chapter by chapter reading them out loud，” Burke explains.“This not only allows her to get more used to reading aloud in front of someone, but it gets me directly involved in something she loves, and it gives me the chance to be very dramatic when I read my chapters and bring myself into the characters in the book, which has proven to be a ton of fun.”After hearing Burke’s story, Rowling said how honored she was when Harry Potter was a part of his family’s life and offered Burke more books. Besides, people are also offering to send Burke more books as gifts. For Burke, this experience, far more than gifts, will be what he treasures.【解题导语】本文主要讲述了英国著名作家J.K Rowling的作品对一个单亲家庭的影响。

Unit 4 PygmalionⅠ.阅读理解A体裁：记叙文话题：人物与事件词数：288 时间：5′Eight years ago，I was a busy housewife.My life always revolved (旋转) around my children and husband.I felt my brain was stuck.One day my friend Judy called and told me that she was going to join an oil painting class on Friday evenings.She asked me to join the class together with her.I was hesitant to join her because I had never painted before.Judy encouraged me to join for fun.I finally accepted her invitation.The first day in the class，we met our teacher，Mr.Chiou，who just came back from France.He showed us a lot of pictures of paintings of famous artists all around the world and told us some stories about art history.He said everyone is an artist.Everyone can draw or paint.Art is a silent language which can express human feelings.We started to paint the things we liked or hated.We also painted the most beautiful and ugly thing in our minds.When I'm painting，I forget everything that I worry about.Sometimes I even forget the time.Mr.Chiou not only opened the door of art for me but also gave me a way to broaden my life.I started to borrow art books from the library and visit museums in my free time.I'm not really good at painting，but I certainly enjoy it.Every painting represents the artist's personality and feeling.For example，when I imitated(模仿) Vincent Van Gogh's painting，I can sense the passion and the energy from his painting.I think this is why，after I started to paint，I felt like my dried－out brain began receiving a new source of refreshing water.【语篇解读】作者通过自己8年前开始学习画画的感受说明了一个问题：发展自己的一项兴趣和爱好能使自己的精神得到恢复，也能使自己学到很多这种兴趣和爱好以外的有价值的东西。

Do you wish you could invent something new? Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.Adaptive glassesDo you wear glasses? If so，can you imagine life without them? In 1985，Joshua Silver，a professor at Oxford University，asked himself，“Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer？” He designed two plastic lenses(透镜) that are filled with a special ing syringes(注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly.The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.The wind­up radioWhen you switch your TV on tonight，think about all those people without electricity.Thinking about this，Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand.In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use.He wanted even the poorest people in developing countries，who don't have electricity and cannot afford batteries，to use it.The radio has a generator(发电机) which is powered by turning a handle.In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleanerIn many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship.This is the Dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic，separation” to separate the dirt.You do not need a b ag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical.The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner.He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory.The Dyson is now one of the bestselling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.The Zapata FlyboardHave you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can thanks to a flyboard，built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata.With it you can dive back in the water and out again.It's possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water—over 30 feet.The basic flyboard model comes in at ￡4，200.So keep dreaming and inventing.One day you might get it right.11．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Greatest InventionsB．Scientists' StoriesC．Magic GlassesD．Beautiful Minds12．What can we learn about adaptive glasses?A．They are very expensive.B．The inventor is a student.C．The glasses are fragile.D．They don't look very nice.13．Which invention won an award?A．Adaptive glasses.B．The wind­up radio.C．The Dyson vacuum cleaner.D．The Zapata Flyboard.14．The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of ________．A．helping people use cleaners more easilyB．making Dyson a rich businessmanC．keeping the house cleaner than beforeD．taking the place of human cleanersBCommuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to￡350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged ￡ 350 a year for each space in two years.Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff－meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库)．Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total ￡ 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40，000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government's income than reducin g traffic.”However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham.The council says the tax will raise as much as ￡100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forw ard the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”15．Supporters argue that the scheme ________．A．can help improve the parking conditions for the staffB．should be applied to all commuters driving to workC．is certain to be carried out despite the objectionsD．will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport16．According to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for ________．A．the firms with parking lotsB．the workforce without carsC．the employees parking their cars on the streetsD．the staff driving to work in the daytime17．Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers's attitude towards the scheme?A．Neutral. B．Negative.C．Understanding. D．Positive.18．It can he inferred from the passage that ________．A．many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staffB．the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvementC．the author believes Britons will benefit from the schemeD．those firms with more commuters will leave NottinghamⅢ.完成句子19．The bank is reported in the local newspaper ________________________ 100，000，000 yuan in broad daylight yesterday.

Scientists，psychologists and the English experts at Liverpool University have found that reading the works of Shakespeare and other classical writers has a beneficial effect on the mind，catche s the reader’s attention and triggers moments of self­ing scanners，they monitored the brain activity of volunteers as they read the works by William Shakespeare，William Wordsworth，T.S Eliot and other classical writers.They then “translated” the texts into more “straightforward”，modern language and again monitored the readers’ brains as they read the words.Scans showed that the more “challenging” articles and poetry set off far more electrical activity in the brain than the modern versions.Scientists were able to study the brain activity as it responded to each word and record how it “lit up” as the readers came across unusual words，surprising phrases or difficult sentence structures.This “lighting up” of the mind lasts longer than the initial electrical spark，shifting the brain to a higher speed，encouraging further reading.The research also found that reading poetry，in particular，increases the activities in the right side of the brain，an area concerned with “autobiographical memory”，helping readers to reflect on their own experiences in light of what they have read.The experts said this meant the classics were more useful than self­help books. Philip Davis，an English professor who has worked on the study with the university，will tell a conference this week：“Serious literature acts like a rocket­booster (火箭助推器) to the brain.”“The research shows the power of classical literature to shift mental pathways，to create new thoughts，shapes and connections in the young and the old alike.” 1．The author mentioned Shakespeare and Wordsworth in Paragraph One to________. A．show their great achievementsB．attract our interest in literatureC．introduce the topic of the textD．encourage us to read their works2．According to the text，reading classical works can________.A．help deal with some physical problemsB．benefit our mind and thinkingC．improve our reading skillsD．help learn more about history3．The scientists and experts did the experiment by________.A．scanning the readers’ brain activitiesB．reading works of different writersC．lighting up the activities of the brainsD．investigating the habits of the readers 4．We can learn from Paragraph 4 that reading poetry________.A．is concerned with the right side of the brainB．has the same effects a s r eading self­help booksC．helps you forget the things in the pastD．makes you more serious and objective5．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A．To introduce some great writers in England.B．To present a study on brain activities.C．To introduce a research on reading classics.D．To show the power of classical literature.Ⅳ.写作(2020·山东省济南市高三巩固性训练)专门快你们可能就要进入大学了，现在上大学的费用关于每个中国家庭来说几乎差不多上一笔不小的开支。

2021届高考英语大一轮复习Unit4Pygmalion课时规范训练新人教版选修8Ⅰ.阅读明白得AAt thirteen, I was diagnosed (诊断) with a kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said，“Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses，“Y ou are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang.I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille.He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn't I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs.Smith, so it was quitea surprise when it came back to me the next day—with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words：“See what you can do when you keep trying？”1．The author didn't finish the reading in class because ________.A．he was new to the classB．he was tired of literatureC．he had an attention disorderD．he wanted to take the task home2．What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A．He had good sight.B．He made a great invention.C．He gave up reading.D．He learned a lot from school.3．What was Mrs. Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?A．Angry. B．Impatient.C．Sympathetic. D．Encouraging.4．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The disabled should be treated with respect.B．A teacher can open up a new world to students.C．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.D．Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.【语篇导读】本文讲述了作者上学时的个人经历。

课时作业(三十九) [选修8 Unit 4 Pygmalion](限时：30分钟)Ⅰ.语法填空Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple 1.________ powerful concept—the ant philosophy. They have an amazing four-part philosophy. First, ants never quit. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around.They keep looking for another way. What a neat (了不起的) philosophy it is to never quit2.________ (look )for a way to get3.________you're supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer.That's 4.________ important attitude. You can't be 5.________ naive (幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People who have a little experience are clear about this. So a nts are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. It's important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 6.________，“This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here.” And 7.________ the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 8.________ (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can't wait 9.________ (get) out.What a great philosophy to have—the ant philosophy: never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.Ⅱ.阅读理解In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came fr om Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998. Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a res ul t, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.Ultimately，as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word．A．To invite authors to guide readers.B．To encourage people to read and share.C．To involve people in community service.D．To promote the friendship between cities.A．They had little interest in reading.B．They were too busy to read a book.C．They came from many different backgrounds.D．They lacked support from the local government.A．In large communities with little sense of unity.B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.C．In medium­sized cities with a diverse population.D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.14. The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”．B．discussed the meaning of a wordC．gained life experienceD．used the same language15. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by________．A．the careful selection of a proper bookB．the growing popularity of the writersC．the number of people who benefit from readingD．the number of books that each person readsⅢ.信息匹配请阅读下列短文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
