”I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.”And with that，my adventure started.My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all­year program，I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go：Spain，the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary，I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it，since it was，after all，a once­in­a­lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it，I was on the airplane，leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport，Hungary.I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed both my peers and me.I had to give up eating carrots，my beautiful favorite，for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing，looking nothing like skyscrapers，bullet trains，cars，and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed to.Gradually，I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle，the warm­hearted people，and getting home at 2：30 p．m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters，I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive，to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands，suddenly，you become friends.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述作者作为一个交换生在国外学习的经历和感受。

Unit 4 Global warming课时作业Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·山师附中模拟)Sometimes we may find that every week there are a lot of new stories about how climate change is affecting the planet，or new plans to battle its effects.But the concept itself isn't new at all—in fact，scientists have been exploring questions about climate change for almost 200 years.The idea of “greenhouse gases” goes back to 1824，when Joseph Fourier wondered what was regulating the earth's temperature.Fourier concluded that the atmosphere must be responsible for containing the heat absorbed from the sun and described it as a box with a glass lid.As light shines through the glass，the inside gets warmer as the lid traps the heat.As Fourier's ideas spread，it came to be called “the greenhouse effect”．Scientists continued to study the greenhouse effect.Not until a Swedish chemist named Svante Arrhenius came along，did scientists understand how global warming actually works.After years of work，Arrhenius determined that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere did in fact have a direct effect on global temperatures.Arrhenius found that CO2，and other gases trap radiation，which warms the atmosphere.Arrhenius was the first to suspect that burning coal could contribute to the greenhouse effect.But Arrhenius welcomed the warming effect on the planet.At a lecture later that year，Arrhenius noted that creatures of a warmer earth “might live under a milder sky and in less barren surroundings”．While Arrhenius' findings won him the 1903 Nobel Prize in chemistry，scientists kept debating whether the greenhouse effect was increasing until 1950，when researchers finally began to find strong data supporting it.By the end of the 1950s，American scientists had been sounding the alarm on the long－term consequences of climate change.Climate change research has come a long way since Fourier first described the greenhouse effect－still，maybe Arrhenius should have been morecareful of what he wished for.【文章大意】本文主要讲述了科学家们对气候变化的众多探索。

Unit 4 Global warmingⅠ.阅读理解ADear Alcohol，You've been around forever. I can remember all the pain you've caused me.Do you remember the night when you almost took my father's life? I do. He loves you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than he loves me. He's addicted to you and to the way you promise to rid him of his problems only to cause more of them. You just sat back and laughed as his car went turning through the street, crashing into two other cars. He wasn't the only one badly hurt by you that night.Do you remember the night of my first high school party? My friends were intrigued by you. They treated you as if they were never going to see you again, drinking all of you that they could. I s pent two hours that night helping my friends who had fallen head over heels for you. “I'm so embarrassed，” they said as I held their hair back so that they could throw up. “I'm sorry，” they said when I called taxis for them, walking them out and paying the driver in advance. “This won't happen again，” they said as they were sent to the hospital to have their stomachs pumped. Two 15­year­old girls slept in hospital beds that night due to you.Do you remember the night when you took advantage of my 17­year­old neighbor who had to drive to pick up his sister from her dance lesso ns? Do you know how we all felt when he hit another car head­on and killed two people in the other car? He died the next morning too. His sister walked home from her dance lesson, and passed police cars and a crowd of people gathering on the s idewalk just two blocks away from the dance studio. She didn't realize her brother was among them at all. She never saw him again. And it was all your fault.I wish you'd walk out of my life forever. I don't want anything to do with you. Look at all the pain you've caused. Sure, you've made people happy too from time to time. But the damage you've caused in the lives of millions is not excusable. Stop attracting the people I love! Stop hurting me, please.Sincerely，Me [语篇解读] 这篇文章是一封书信。

This time last year I entered two long­distance mass­participation swimming events，including the Jubilee River 10 km swim.At the last minute，just before both swims，I decided to pull out.The reality is，I live in fear of coming last.Last year，before the two events，I realized that I couldn't deal with coming last.I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that，at my current swim pace，I would probably have come last in both.I just couldn't face it.But when next year came around，I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months，I trained hard，but I didn't get any faster.Then it was June 5，the day of the Jubilee River 10 km.The event started at 9：30 a．m.，and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start.As I swam along，the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful.The sun shone.Meadows(草地)rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.As the day wore on，somehow I didn't mind that，predictably，almost everyone was ahead.There were at least some swimmers still near me，and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces.As I concentrated on doing my own thing，watching the sky，the bank，the other swimming caps passing or not passing，I realized I was enjoying myself.In the end，four hours and 29 minutes after I'd started，I staggered(摇摇晃晃地走)out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a“well done”from the race organizer.I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish，behind me，out of a field of around 300 swimmers.But it didn't matter.I_was_just_relieved，proud_and_happy_to_finish.As I drove away，my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it，my fears of coming last gently receding(渐渐远去)．1．The author intended to quit swimming mainly because ________.A．she feared that she couldn't finish the two racesB．she was afraid that she would let family members downC．she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing lastD．she wasn't fully prepared for the two races2．The author hopes to convey the message that ________.A．never give up when facing challengesB．it is process that matters mostC．failure is the mother of successD．winners always take it all3．What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 5?A．She took pride in leaving all the other swimmers behind.B．She was proud that she was not the last one in the race.C．She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of relief.D．She was proud to be praised by the organizer.4．It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to ________.A．participate in another race without any hesitationB．analyze the reason why she failed in the raceC lose confidence completelyD．decide whether she is suitable for the race【解题导语】作者通过描述自己参加游泳比赛的经历告诉我们最后一名并不可怕，关键是要学会享受比赛的过程。

One of the main creators of the World Wide Web，Sir Tim Berners­Lee has warned that the fast growth of the Internet is also creating serious problems.He especially warns of false information being easily spread around the Internet，“A great danger is that it bees a place where untruths start to spread more than truths，or it bees a place which bees increasingly unfair in some way.”In particular, he mentions the phenomena of blogging.Blogging enables friends and contacts to easily spread information.However, he argues that people may too easily trust information mentioned in a blog.This inaccurate information can then easily bee an accepted truth on the Internet.He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.It’s interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科) has had to take steps to prevent false information from being added to the biographies of living people.It’s easy for anybody to edit the open source.However，some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards，Wikipedia has sought to stop the false materials.At the same time there is a growing view that the Internet has had a great effect on the way millions of people work.The last two years have seen a big growth in the use of the Internet.There appears no slowdown in the growth of the Internet with increasing access in the developing countries.Sir Tim says another major challenge will be to provide free Internet for everybody.Sir Tim has recently launched a new joint initiative(倡议) between the University of Southampton and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create the first degree in Web science.The two schools hope to raise the standards of web content.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

Priscilla Ouchidas' “energy­efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago，they built a $100 000，three­bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks，the house was equipped with small double­paned windows and several other energy­saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple movedin，however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The level offormaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cupboards and wall­to­wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along，” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homesrather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap，home buildersdidn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks，the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As aresult，the pollutants generated in most households seldom build up to dangerous levels.1．It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house ________.A．is well worth the money spent on its constructionB．is almost perfect from the point of energy conservationC．failed to meet energy conservation standardsD．was designed and constructed in a scientific way2．What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?A．Lack of fresh air.B．Poor quality of building materials.C．Gas leakage in the kitchen.D．The newly painted walls.3．Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?A．Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.B．Because they were technically unavoidable.C．Because environmental protection was more important.D．Because energy used to be inexpensive.4．This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled“________”．A．Energy ConservationB．Houses Building CrisisC．Air Pollution IndoorsD．Traps in Building Construction【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Ouchida夫妇响应国家号召建造了节能的房子，但是因为房子密不透风，使室内缺少新鲜空气，而且甲醛含量超标，室内空气污染，导致他们的身体出现了状况。

选修6 Unit 4 Global warming李仕才一、阅读理解ASome pigs tend to be optimistic while others are pessimistic, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare. The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neuroscience, and her team housed groups of pigs in two types of environment. One reflected standard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of soft, deep straw. After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the researchers picked 18 pigs from each type to train and test their judgment.“To do this, we trained each pig. In on e corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets — pigs love them — and at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl containing coffee beans, which pigs findbitter­tasting，” a researcher said.Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect chocolate sweets. On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it was in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.The researchers next placed an unfamiliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react. Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what was inside, showing optimism that it would contain their favorite sweets. Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.The findings suggest that a one­size­fits­all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist. Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meat for some people, there is still cause for concern. Studies have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meat quality and taste.【文章大意】本文是一篇研究报告，讲述情绪和性格在动物中的相互作用。

Robots industry is developing so rapidly that there is no denying that we may one day find ourselves surrounded by robots.The humanoid (human like) robots with two legs such as Honda Motor Co. Ltd’s ASIMO would likely have an easier time climbing up stairs inside homes than a robot that moves on wheels, developers say.But it will be some time before such devices make their way into people’s homes.“They may look smart, but they are still quite stupid, ” Shimoyama said. “I don’t think they will ever be as smart as humans. ”While safety is an obvious concern, robots also need to be sensitive to people’s needs. Researchers at Fujitsu Frontech Ltd and Fujitsu Laboratories responsible for developing “Enon”, a guide and patrol (巡逻) robot designed for use in shopping malls and corporate facilities (公共场所), are working on this.Enon, which has a humanoid upper body but no legs, is equipped with a touch screen on its chest and space in its stomach to carry loads weighting up to 10 kg.In guide mode, it will check a newcomer and approach the person with a nod and a greeting: “Are you a visitor? Hello. ”Visitors requiring directions can point to icons (图标) displayed on Enon’s chest screen. If the restroom icon is pressed, the screen will display a map that shows the way.The robot will then face and point in the direction of the restroom, although it won’t actually walk the visitor there. Enon is now in use at four locations in Japan, including a shopping mall near Tokyo. The main goal is to make it more helpful for the elderly.“People who work in the transportation sector often ask whether we can build a robot that will find elderly people who look lost in train stations, and ask them if they are all right, ” said Toshihido Marita, director of Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd’s autonomous system laboratory. “Actually that is hard to do, very hard, ” he said.【文章大意】机器人产业发展得如此迅速, 在本文中作者介绍了名叫“Enon”的机器人, 它被广泛应用在商场、医院等公众场所。
