I decided to teach her. I sat and 45 everything and she seemed OK with what I said. Unfortunately, my sister called me at that moment 46 we talked on the phone for an hour. Then when I saw her again, she was sitting in front of the computer, looking quite 47 . The screen saver (屏幕保护) had appeared and she didn’t know how to 48 it off. She had tried 49 every key and it didn’t work. I told her, “Just 50 the mouse a little.” What I meant was that she just needed to move the mouse around to 51 the computer up. What she did was to 52 the mouse and start shaking it around in mid-air until the 53 went completely black. I couldn’t help laughing because of her funny 54 . The more I laughed the 55 she got.She thought that I was a (n) 56 teacher and she decided to figure the thing out herself. Well, at least I helped her overcome her 57 of breaking something and encouraged her to 58 a little.About a week later, I found a home-made 59 card with a mouse on the front making a funny face 60 to my door.

Now a Chinese toad(蟾蜍) has joined that club of clever survivors.South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town, after jumping into a porcelain(瓷器) candlestick(烛台)that was made there. South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature, fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.But the toad got a last-minute pardon. Mango Airlines, a South African airline, transported the toadon Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter, after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live. The two-hour fight was a breeze compared to the trip from China, a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean.Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”, sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby, an animal welfare inspector. There was even a ceremony, in which the toad’s boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight,” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger. “I think every passenger stopped to have a look.”On landing in Johannesburg, the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot. Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer. It belongs to the Asian Toad species, which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season. It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out, and also by slowing its breathing and heart rate—methods that help the species survive in times of drought.“We’ve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit. We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick, and we had to break it to get it out” Glasby, the inspector, told The Star, a South African newspaper.29. If the toad is released into the wild, _________.A. it will make the locals feel shockedB. it might harm the native speciesC. it will lose its life in the wildD. it might flee into another country30. The toad was able to arrive in South Africa alive_________.A. because it escaped all attacks and huntsB. because it used to stop its breath in winterC. because it formed hard skin to protect itselfD. because it was lucky to be given a chance31. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.A. sometimes animal are transported accidentallyB. no one has seen such a big toad in AfricaC. a candlestick is the best place for a toadD. droughts make toads live longer。

From early childhood we experience situations in life that seem 36 or that don’t make sense to us, from an unequal distribution of toys to all kinds of bad things happening to 37 people. When we find ourselves faced with the __38 of life’s apparent unfairness, it’s often hard to let go and accept things as they are.The 39 part of non-acceptance of others, of those aspects of ourselves that we don’t 40 or of situations we face in life that seem greatly unfair is that we stay stuck, and we stay stressed.Paradoxically (很矛盾地), 41 to accept those things in life that are unacceptable is often the most 42 step in releasing ourselves from our negative emotions.__43 accepting those bad things in life is often easier said than done, it’s much easier done when you know where to 44 , and you have a plan. Each of these 45 can help you to more easily practice acceptance. Used ___46 , it becomes easier still.You can 47 yourself with some techniques. One of the most 48 ways is to actively focus on everything we have to appreciate. We now know that appreciation is a key component to happiness and inner 49 , so this is an important tool for acceptance and for overall life 50 . Often when we view things from a different perspective, we can 51 differently about them, and this 52 in feeling can make acceptance come much easier. That act of 53 things differently can help us to see the positive in what looks like the negative, and can help us to see the hidden ___54 of a difficult situation. This act doesn’t 55 the situation, but it can help us to see the situation differently, which can be transformative.36. A. unfair B. unhelpful C. unnecessary D. unknown37. A. healthy B. good C. lucky D. rich38. A. complaint B. choice C. reality D. dilemma39. A. bare B. difficult C. lame D. blank40. A. like B. predict C. believe D. check41.

Nearly a decade ago it was predicted that viewers of “Friends”, a popular situation comedy, would soon be able to purchase a sweater like Jennifer Aniston’s with a few taps on their remote control. “It’s been the year of interactive television advertising for the last ten or twelve years,” says Colin Dixon of a digital-media consultancy.So the news that Cablevision, an American cable company, was rolling out interactive advertisements to all its customers on October 6th was greeted with some skepticism. During commercials, an overlay will appear at the bottom of the screen, urging viewers to press a button to request a free sample. Cablevision hopes to allow customers to buy things with their remote controls early next year.Television advertising could do with a boost. Spending fell by 10% in the first half of the year. The popularization of digital video recorders has caused advertisers to worry that their commercials will be skipped. Some are turning to the Internet, which is cheaper and offers concrete measurements like click-through rates(广告点阅率)—especially important at a time when marketing budgets are tight. With the launch of interactive advertising, “many of the dollars that went to the Internet will come back to the TV,” says David Kline of Cablevision. Or so the industry hopes.In theory, interactive advertising can engage viewers in a way that 30-second spots do not. Unilever recently ran an interactive campaign for its Axe deodorant(除臭剂),which kept viewers engaged for more than three minutes on average.The amount spent on interactive advertising on television is still small. Magna, an advertising agency, calculates it will be worth about $138 million this year. That falls far short of the billions of dollars people once expected it to generate. But DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable have all invested in it. A new effort led by Canoe Ventures aims to make interactive advertising available across America later this year. BrightLine iTV, which designs and sells interactive ads, says interest has shot up: it expects its profits almost to triple this year. BSkyB, Britain’s biggest satellite-television service, already provides 9 million customers with interactive ads.Yet there are doubts whether people watching television, a “lean back”medium, welcome interaction. Click-through rates have been high so far(around 3-4%, compared with less than 0.3% online), but that may be a result of the novelty. Interactive ads and viewers might not go well together.61. What does Colin Dixon mean by saying “It’s been the year of interactive television advertising forthe last ten or twelve years”(Para.1)?A.Interactive television advertising will become popular in 10-12 years.B.Interactive television advertising has been under debate for the last decade or so.C.Interactive television advertising is successful when incorporated into situation comedies.D.Interactive television advertising has not achieved the anticipated results.62. What is the public’s response to Cablevision’s planned interactive TV advertising program?A.Pretty positive.B.Totally indifferent.C.Somewhat doubtful.D.Rather critical.63. What is the impact of the wide use of digital video recorders on TV advertising?A.It has made TV advertising easily accessible to viewers.B.It helps advertisers to measure the click-through rates.C.It has placed TV advertising at a great disadvantage.D.It enables viewers to check the sales items with ease.64. What do we learn about Unilever’s interactive campaign?A.It proves the advantage of TV advertising.B.It has done well in engaging the viewers.C.It helps attract investments in the company.D.it has boosted the TV advertising industry.65. How does the author view the current high click-through rates?A.They may be due to the novel way of advertising.B.They indicate the popularity of interactive advertising.C.They point to the growing curiosity of TV viewers.D.They indicate the future direction of media reform.w。
Unit 3 A healthy life单元综合检测第一部分阅读理解第一节阅读理解阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
ASleep StruggleOne in every five young people has a sleep problem, so you’re not alone. Getting enough sleep has become as important as eating vegetables and exercising regularly. It’s very important for your body.Most young people only get seven hours of sleep each night, when they actually need nine hours. And making up for lost sleep during the week by sleeping on weekends doesn’t really work. In fact, sleeping late on weekends may actually do you more harm than good, if you have sleep problems.What happens if you don’t get enough sleep? If your sleep problem continues for a few nights, you could suffer serious problems. Lack of sleep can affect learning and memory. Worse, if your sleep difficulties last a long time, that could lead to anxiety (焦虑). Therefore, you’ve got to have some healthy sleep habits. Below are some suggestions:•Go to bed at the same time—including weekends, if possible.•Wake up around the same time every morning. When you sleep late just one morning during the week, it may disturb your body clock. This will make it hard for you to sleep that night.•Do something relaxing before going to bed.•Exercise during the day. Don’t exercise right before going to bed.•Avoid drinking. Alcohol (酒精) makes you excited. This prevents you from falling asleep or wakes you up during the night.•Don’t smoke. Smoking is always bad for the body. Smoking before bedtime keeps you awake.If trying these tips over a couple of weeks does not help you, speak to your doctor. Do not take any medicine without first asking your doctor. Many of them have strong side effects.1. The passage suggests that people with sleep problems should ________.A. eat vegetables and exercise regularlyB. make up for lost sleep on weekendsC. follow a fixed timetable for sleepD. sleep seven hours every day2. We can learn from the suggestions that ________.A. getting up earlier one morning makes it easier to fall asleep that nightB. listening to soft music before going to bed may help you fall asleepC. smokers and those who drink alcohol usually have sleep problemsD. exercising before going to bed will help you get to sleep3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You’ll no longer have your sleep problem i f you try the tips.B. Sleeping late on weekends can make up for lost sleep.C. Eating vegetables and exercising regularly can help you fall asleep.D. Sleep problems are serious among young people.BGrowing Up in AustraliaSince 2004, Australia has been holding its largest study of children’s health ever. This project, “Growing Up in Australia,” is following two groups of children from early childhood until they become adults. The project is being supported by the Australian government and involves hundreds of researchers visiting the homes of 10,000 children. Researchers hope to find a relationship between the children’s future behavior and their health, education, and family environments.When the study began, the first group of children was aged 0-1, while the second group was aged 4-5. In order to make sure that children from every kind of environment and background were chosen, the study found volunteers from each area. Some volunteers are in the countryside, while others are in big cities. The volunteers for both groups were chosen from a variety of different social and ethnic (种族) backgrounds.The researchers visit the participants’ (参与者) homes every two years to gather information. They interview the parents about parenting styles and the child’s dailyactivities. They also take measurements of the children’s health and how we ll the children perform in school. The researchers also collect information such as the income of the child’s family, the school the child attends, and the kind of community (社区) in which the child lives. They plan to use the information to improve childre n’s lives.Researchers have already begun to publish some interesting results. For instance, after examining information from the second group of children when they were 10-11 years old, researchers found that children who spend a lot of time doing organized activities, such as music lessons or sports, have good control of their emotions and behavior. The study also found that they are able to complete their homework without their parents around. On the other hand, it found that children who watch a lot of television get upset easily and have worse behavior. The Australian government is now using this information to make better educational and health policies for Australian children.4. What is true about children participating in the study?A. They will represent their families in an international competition.B. They will learn social skills from enthusiastic volunteers.C. They come from many different family backgrounds.D. They have to go to various cities in Australia.5. Researchers who visit the chil dren’s homes ________.A. gather information about children in order to help them lead better livesB. go to the children’s schools to learn more about Australian educationC. measure how well parents can solve their children’s problemsD. provide health services to children living in the community6. As a result of the study, researchers found that ________.A. watching television has no effect on children’s emotionsB. participating in organized activities has a positive effect on childrenC. children who watch a lot of television are bad at sportsD. children who do organized activities like to control their friends7. What can we learn from the passage?A. Older children have better control of their emotions than younger childrenB. Australians want the government to spend more money on education.C. The government is unhappy with the results of the study.D. The study follows two separate groups of children.CMosquitoes have an extraordinary ability to find humans far away and fly straight to their skin. Mosquitoes can do more than cause an itchy (发痒的)wound. Some mosquitoes spread several serious diseases, including Dengue, yellow fever and malaria.Over one million people worldwide die from these diseases each year. New research now shows how mosquitoes choose who to bite.Mosquitoes need blood to survive. They are attracted to human skin and breath. They smell the carbon dioxide gas, which all mammals breathe out. This gas is the main way for mosquitoes to know that a warm-blooded creature is nearby.But mosquitoes also use their eyes and sense of touch. Michael Dickinson is a professor at the California Institute of Technology. His research shows how these small insects, with even smaller brains, use three senses to find a blood meal.Michael Dickinson’s team used plumes—a material that rises into the air of carbon dioxide gas into a wind tunnel (隧道). They then used cameras to record the mosquitoes. The insects followed the plume.Then, the scientists placed dark objects on the lighter colored floor and walls of the tunnel. Mr. Dickinson said, at first, the mosquitoes showed no interest in the objects at all. “What was quite surprising is that the mosquitoes fly back and forth for hours. These are hungry females and they completely ignore the objects on the floor and wall of the tunnel. But the moment they get a hit of CO₂, they change their behavior quite obviously and now would become attracted to these little visual blobs (斑点).”This suggested to the researchers that a mosquito’s sense of smell is more important in the search for food. Once mosquitoes catch a smell of a human or animal,they also follow visual signals.8. What do mosquitoes mainly use to find their food?A. Sense of smell.B. Sense of touch.C. Sense of sight.D. Smart brains.9. The first response of the mosquitoes to the objects in the experiment is ________.A. to fly to the dark onesB. to catch and stick to themC. to take no notice of themD. to attach themselves to them10. How can we avoid being attacked by mosquitoes according to the text?A. Don’t let them see us.B. Use dark objects to stop them.C. Make them fly back and forth for hours.D.

Why Do Mosquitoes Attack the Human Being?DEach time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. “Yes, honey. Of course.” she said.“Can we write him a letter?”She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, “Yes.”My heart jumped. “How? Does the postman go there?” I asked.“No, but I have an idea.” Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.“Just wait, honey. You’ll see.” Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink.I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even aboutwhat happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she tied the balloon string (绳子). “Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three.” And the rain didn’t stop.The balloon, carrying my letter, went upward into the rain. We watched until it disappeared.Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. No matter what he suffered, he’d try his best to struggle. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I wished to be a balloon.12. What does the underlined sentence imply?A. Her mother felt it hard to answer.B. Her mother thought her a creative girl.C.

Researchers stressed the soup must be low-calorie and based on stock(菜汤), not cream.All of the soups tested in the study were made from identical ingredients—chicken stock, broccoli, potatoes, cauliflower and carrots.They were mixed together to create four different textures and thickness from separate stock and vegetables through to pure soup.Scientists thought that thick soups with chunks of vegetables which required chewing might be more filling, but to their surprise, they found all forms had the same effect.The findings were presented to the Experimental Biology Conference in Washington DC, and the research was part-funded by the National Institutes of Health.1. What's the reason that adding low-calorie vegetable soup to the start of a meal can actually help to lose weight?A. You can take in large quantities of vegetables.B. You can absorb high calories from the soup.C. You can take in low calories from the soup.D. You can feel full soon after having the soup. 2. Which of the following can not be in the low- calorie soup?A. Chicken stock.B. Cauliflower.C. Cream.D. Carrots.3. What is the best title of this passage?A. Vegetable Soup Helps to Lose WeightB. A Scientific Research is Carrying outC. A Research Done at Pennsylvania State UniversityD. Findings Carried out to the Experimental Biology4.

Unit3 同步检测Ⅰ.阅读理解Let’s face it.No one drinks diet soda for the taste.People drink diet soda in the hope that it will help them lose weight or at least keep them from gaining it.Yet it seems to have exactly the opposite effect,according to a new study.Researchers from the University of Texas said those who drank two or more diet sodas a day had waist size increases that were six times greater than those who didn’t drink diet soda.“What we saw was that the more diet sodas a person drank,the more weight they were likely to gain,”said Sharon Fowler.The study was based on data from 474 participants in a large,ongoing research project,where the participants were followed for nearly 10 years.While the findings are surprising,they also offer some explanations.Nutrition expert,Melanie Rogers,who works with overweight patients in New York,has found that when patients are switched from regular to diet soda,they don’t lose weight at all.“We weren’t seeing weight loss necessarily,and that was confusing to us,”said Rogers.So why would diet soda cause weight gain? No one knows for sure yet,but it could be that people think they can eat more if they drink diet soda,and so overcompensate for the missing calories.A related study found some sweeteners (甜味剂) raised blood sugar levels in some mice.“Data from this and other potential studies suggest that the promotion of diet sodas and artificial sweeteners may be risky,”said Helen P.Hazuda,professor at the University of Texas’s school of medicine.“They may be free of calories,but not of consequences.”【文章大意】本文是一篇科普性文章。

Ⅱ.七选五补缺题Obtaining Fresh Water from IcebergsThe idea of getting fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas or places was once treated as a joke.Recently,scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.1.________Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently.2.________ It contains fresh water so much that it could sustain(维持) all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years.Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year.3.________ However,they are formed entirely on land,breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea.As they drift away from the polar region,icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind.Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice,icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator(赤道)in the Atlantic Ocean.4.________ The difficulty exists such as its rapid melting in warmer climates.5.________A.Icebergs are not like sea ice,which is formed when the sea itself freezes.B.Now it is being considered quite serious by many nations.C.7,659 trillion metric tons of ice are floating on the sea every year.D.But the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced.E.To move them to dry parts of the world would not be too difficult.F.It is not a dream to get water from icebergs.G.Threequarters of the Earth’s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice.答案:1~5BGAEDⅢ.完形填空Waiting for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself.Just then,a flight attendant__1__ me and asked,“Would you mind changing your seat?A couple would like to sit together.”The only other __2__ seat was next to a woman with both arms in casts(石膏),a black andblue face,and a depressed emotion.“__3__ am I going t o sit there” was my immediatethought.__4__ then a deeper,quieter voice spoke,“Opportunity.”Finally I took my new seat and __5__ that Kathy had been in an auto collision,and she was on her way for __6__.When the snack of nuts and juice arrived,__7__ did not take me long to realize that Kathy would not be able to __8__ herself.I considered offering to feed her but __9__,as it seemed too close a service to offer to a stranger.But then I decided tha t Kathy’s need was more important than my __10__.I offered to help her eat,and although she too was uncomfortable about __11__ it,she did.The experience was __12__ and she and I __13__ close in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,my heart was fully __14__,and the time was __15__ better spent than if I had just sat by myself.I was very glad I had reached beyond my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her.Love sometimes __16__ beyond human borders and dissolves the fears __17__ keep us separate.When we stretch to serve another,we grow to live in a larger,more __18__ world.Help me move __19__ the small self so I can connect with the hearts of others.When I give __20__ to another,I feed my own soul.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
