Many people your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you’re not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging(抗衰老的) treatment. Now, all three of look the same age!You say to your shirt, “Turn red.” It changes from blue to red. In 2035, “smart clothes” contain particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body. The particles can be programmed to change clothes’ color or pattern.You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says,“ You shouldn’t drink that!” Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk , and it knows the milk is old . In 2035, every article of food in the grocery store has such a chip.It’s time to go to work. In 2035, cars drive themselves. Just tell your “smart car” where to go. On the way, you can call a friend usin g your jacket sleeve. Such “smart technology” is all around you.So will all these things come true? “For new technology to succeed,” says scientist Andrew Zolli ,”it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already.” The Internet is one example—what will be the next?1.We can learn from the text that in the future__________.A.people will never get oldB.everyone will look the sameC.red will be the most popular colorD.clothes will be able to change their pattern2.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?k will be harmful to health.B.More drinks will be available for sale.C.Food in the grocery store will carry electronic information.k in the grocery store will stay fresh much longer.3.Which of the following is mentioned in the text?A.Nothing can replace the Internet.B.Fridges will know what people need.C.Jacked sleeves can be used as a guide.D.Cars will be able to drive automatically.4.What is the text mainly about?A.Food and clothing in 2035.B.Future technology in everyday life.C.Medical treatments of the future.D.The reason for the success of new technology.2 After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armfulof books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What’s worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.In my room, Mom’s voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people’s challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.1.Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?A.They all wanted to have a good rest.B.The author didn’t do well in the exam.C.What the doctor said made them worried.D.They focused on the scenery along the road.2.How did the author manage to get high marks?A.By being confident.B.By listening carefully.C.By getting help from his classmates.D.By reading as many books as possible.3.We can learn from the text that ____________.A.the author’s sight recovered finallyB.reading made the author more sensitiveC.the author’s mother didn’t work to look after himD.reading made the author not worry about his sight4.Which of the following could be the best title of the text?A.My eyesight troubleB.An unforgettable experienceC.With ears wide openD.About Mother’s love3 One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. “This boy has lost his family," he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at t he children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon——in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made s ure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly."It’s your turn," he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one— without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.1.When he first met the author,David .A.felt a little excitedB.walked energeticallyC.looked a little nervousD.showed up with his teacher2.As a psychologist,the author .A.was ready to listen to DavidB.was skeptical about psychologyC.was able to describe David’s problemD.was sure of handling David’s problem3.David enjoyed being with the author because he .A.wanted to ask the author for adviceB.needed to share sorrow with the authorC.liked the children’s drawings in the officeD.beat the author many times in the chess game4.What made David change?A.His teacher’s help.B.The author’s friendship.C.His exchange of letters with the author.D.The author’s silent communication with him.4. Clive Roberts.a director at ELS Educational Services,says English tests are changing greatly in response to the global growth in the use of English as a lingua franca—the common language used among people with different native languages.For that reason,a lot of new tests are being developed while old tests are being improved to meet the needs of universities and employers worldwide.Changes in language testing“A lot of tests are now delivered online,all four skills are being tested,in some cases,by computer,in particular speaking and writing skills,which are the most difficult to assess on a computer environment,”says Mr.Roberts.Computer testing will reduce the length of time required for testing,because the tests adjust to the test-taker’s ability.These computer-adaptive tests also increase accuracy inputer-a- daptive tests change depending on the test-taker’s responses.They can become more or less difficult during the testing session.For this reason,the set of correct answers will be different for each test-taker.Cultural sensitivityAnother change to language testing relates to cultural sensitivity.The term refers to material on a test that is based on a certain culture or is hard for test-takers from different cultures to understand.Mr.Roberts says test development companies are now hiring people with intercultural communication backgrounds to review test items.The companies want to make sure the test does not upset test-takers.Proficiency(精通程度)in languageChanges to English proficiency tests make them better at measuring the learners’ability.However,Mr。

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（19）一、阅读理解1 COLUMBUS, Ohio—The heart operation taking place in the pale-green operating room at the Ohio State University Medical Center was unusual. The patient, a 62-year-old man, was made to sleep, tied with blue drapes (消毒帷帘) and lying face up on a narrow table. But no one was touching him.Instead, the operation was being performed by a robot, whose three metal arms went through pencil-sized holes in the man’s chest. At the ends of the robot’s arms were tiny metal fingers, with turning wrists, which held a tiny instrument, a light and a camera. The robot’s arms and fingers were controlled by Dr. Randall K. Wolf, sitting at a computer in a corner of the operating room about 20 feet away.This sort of operation, heart surgeons say, is the start of what may be the biggest change in their profession since heart bypass surgery (心脏搭桥手术) began nearly 30 years ago. “The reason we make cuts is that we have big hands,” said Dr. Wolf, the director of the surgery at Ohio State. The robot’s dainty fingers, no longer than a nail on the small finger, at the end of the long sticks could work better.Eventually, surgeons believe, most heart surgery will be done by robots whose arms are put in through pencil-sized holes punched in pat ients’ chests. Instead of directly staring into a patient’s body, surgeons will view magnified images of the operation on computer screens. In theory, the doctor would not have to be in the same room, or even the same country, as the patient.1.In this pas sage, the underlined word “dainty” means “ _______ ”.A.weakB.fatC.smallD.quick2.According to the passage, the reason that most operations require large cuts is that___________ .A.surgeons have large handsB.patients have large organsrge cuts take less timerge cuts cost less money3.The main idea of this passage is that heart surgery by robots___________ .A.is quicker than surgery done by doctorsB.may replace surgery done by doctorsC.is a new and risky procedureD.was developed at Ohio State University4.Based on the information in this passage, all of the following conclusions are true EXCEPT that___ .A.robot surgery is being developed at Ohio StateB.robot surgery will be used on many patients in the near futureC.all doctors at Ohio State develop new surgical techniquesD.many hospitals will eventually offer robot surgery to patients2 On April 14th, 2010, my entire life changed in an instant. One moment I was joyfully riding through the sunshine. The next moment, metal, flesh and bone were spreading against the pavement in a thunderous crash. Another cyclist, biking carelessly, had cut me off and sent me supermanning toward oncoming traffic.As if to symbolize the accident that had hit my life, another disaster also occurred on April 14th, 2010. It cost the airline industry $l.7 billion. Ten million travelers were stuck for days. Economies all over the world were disturbed. This was the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, one ofIceland’s many volcanoes.However, volcanoes are not all bad. In fact, they are necessary. They are responsible for the birth of new earth, and for the creation of rich soil. This eruption gave off 0.15 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere daily. But cancelling 48% of the world’s flight travel saved about 2.8 million tons of CO2 from entering the atmosphere, temporarily decreasing our carbon footprint.Similarly, the accident had badly affected my emotion but it also allowed me to look more closely inside myself and discover things about myself I never would have realized. I learned how not to judge myself for my new limitations.In 1973, another Icelandic volcano, Eldfell, broke out. Icelanders decided to bomb it with cold water until it froze and chose a different path. After their plan worked, they used the geothermal (地热) energy for the next 15 years to heat their homes. A good example of life bringing lemons, and making lemonade! One must move on from misfortunes, focusing only on the present moment and being hopeful for the future.I ran from April 14th, 2010, to every kind of escape. Eventually I ended up in university for a new-found love in Earth sciences.1.What happened to the writer on April 14th, 2010?A.He was involved in a car crash.B.He was stuck inIceland’s airport.C.He witnessed a volcanic eruption.D.He was badly injured on a bike ride.2.Which was an effect of the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull?A.Economy was cost globally by the eruption.B.Carbon dioxide was increased temporarily.C.Most of the world’s planes were held up.D.The earth inIrelandwas terribly polluted.3.Why did the writer mention the Eldfell volcano?A.It broke out inIcelandon April 14th as well.B.It symbolized the accident that changed his life.C.It told us to make the most of given situation.D.It encouraged him to know more about himself.4.What is the best title for the passage?A.Escape from VolcanoesB.Inspiration from DisastersC.Love for Earth ScienceD.Attitude towards Nature3. A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doc tor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?”But the doctor knew that her family was well-off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.1.If you’re a volunteer in th e activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to look after?A.The patients in need of help.B.The people suffering from cancer.C.The patients without many days left.D.The people suffering from diseases.2.What can we infer about the old man?A.He had a lot of savings.B.He was suffering from cancer.C.He often lost his temper before meeting the girl.D.He asked the doctor to help the girl finish her study.3.Which statement is right according to the passage?A.The doctor told the old man the truth.B.The old man’s children were wealthy.C.The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money.D.The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died.4.Why did the old man’s mental get improved? Because of_____________.A.The girl’s comfort and care.B.The pleasure of being helpful to people in need.C.People’s understanding.D.His children’s progress.4. American author Mark Twain once noted that “life would be surely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” Twain’s words were only one of many complaints about aging. The ancient Greek poet Homer called old age “hateful” , and William Shakespeare termed it “terrible winter”.Alexander the Great, who conquered most of the known world before he died around 323 B.C., may have been looking for a river that healed the hatred of age. During the 12th century A.D., a king called Prester John ruled a land that had a river of gold and a fountain of youth.But the name linked most closely to the search for a fountain of youth is 16th-century Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon. He thought it would be found in Florida. In St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., there’s a tourist attraction. It is said to be the fountain of youth that Ponce de Leon discovered soon after he arrived in what is now Florida in 1513. However, elderly visitors who drink the spring’s water don’t turn into teenagers.But the tale of the search for a fountain of youth is so appealing that it survives anyway, says Ryan K. Smith, a profess or of history. “People are more attracted by the story of looking and not finding than they are by the idea that the fountain might be out there somewhere.”Still, a few grains of truth have helped to support the story. Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology, says a graveyard and the remains of a Spanish mission dating back to St. Augustine’s founding in 1565 have been discovered near the so-called fountain of youth. Michelle Reyna, a spokesperson for the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park in St. Augustine, says the fountain has been a tourist attraction since at least 1901 and may have been attracting visitors since 1860.1.According to the passage, who searched for a fountain of youth ?A.William Shakespeare.B.Ponce de LeonC.Kathleen DeaganD.Michelle Reyna2.What is the attitude of people towards the fountain of youth ?A.People have no interest in searching for it.B.People believe the existence of it somewhere.C.People find much pleasure in looking for it.D.People consider the idea of the fountain of youth absurd.3.The passage mainly tells us .A.whether the fountain of youth existsB.why some famous people hate becoming oldC.how to remain young foreverD.how the fountain of youth came into being二、任务型阅读5.请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

河北省武邑中学2015-2016学年高一英语下学期暑假作业试题〔13〕一阅读理解〔共两节，总分为40分〕AIt was an extremely cold winter morning, and the snow had started to melt the day before it froze again. I was walking with my dogs, wishing that I could teach them to use the bathroom indoors, and then I looked up and noticed the morning sunrise. Light pink and purple clouds were floating across the sky. Though the weather was so cold, the sky looked like heaven smiling at me.I thanked life for this beautiful gift as I took another step in the snow. When it stopped snowing, I stepped on 一 it was icy. Suddenly, my feet flew into the air, my body crashed to the ground, my shoe slipped off my shoot and I found myself still staring at the sunrise but with an aching butt (屁股〕,my back on the ground, and two worried dogs licking (添)my face. A strange sound was coming out of my mouth but it was a laugh. I lay there for a few minutes laughing and enjoying this funny thing.That wasn’t the first time a good laugh had saved me from danger and pain and I am sure it will not be the last. Laugher is one of our greatest gifts from life. It exercises the body, lightens tiiC ilColt aild COmfbrtS the SOlll. It aisC rCiiiincls US that we can choose happiness over despair. The next time you feel like laughing then do not hold it back and just let it out. May your soul always sing with the song of sweet laughter !1.Why did the author go out that winter morning?A.To teach his pets some tricks.B. To admire the beautiful snowflakes.C. To train his dogs to use the toilet.D. To work out for his health.2. What happened to the author?A. A passing car crashed into him.B. He had a fall while walking.C. He was shicken by the animals.D. He had his legs broken.3. What’s the best title for the passage?A.Have the Last LaughB. A Good LaughC. The Benefits of Keeping PetsD. Piide Ooes Before A FailBOne evening in February 2007, a student named Paula Ceely brought her car to a stop on a remote road in Wales. She got out to open a metal gate that blocked her path .That’s when she h eard the whistle sounded by the driver of a train. Her RenaultClio was parked across a railway line. Seconds later, she watched the train drag her car almost a kilometre down the railway tracks.Ceely’s near miss made the news because she blamed it on the GPS (导航仪). She had never driven the route before. It was dark and raining heavily. Ceely was relying on her GPS, but it made no mention of the crossing. “I put my complete trust in the device and it led me right into the path of a speeding train,〞 she told the BBC.Who is to blame here? Rick Stevenson, who tells Ceely’s story in his book When Machines Fail Us, points the finger at the limitations of technology. We put our faith in digital devices, he says, but our digital helpers are too often not up to th e job. They are filled with small problems. And it’s not just GPS devices: Stevenson takes us on a tour of digital disasters involving everything from mobile phones to wireless keyboards.The problem with his argument in the book is that it’s not clear why he only focuses on digital technology, while there may be a number of other possible causes.A map-maker might have left the crossing off a paper map. Maybe we should blame Ceely for not paying attention. Perhaps the railway authorities are at fault for poor singalling system. Or maybe someone has studied the relative dangers and worked out that there really is something specific wrong with the GPS equipment. But Stevenson doesn’t say.It’s a problem that runs through the book. In a section on cars, Steve nson gives an account of the advanced techniques that criminals use to defeat computer-based locking systems for cars. He offers two independent sets of figures on car theft; both show a small rise in some parts of the country. He says that once again not all new locks have proved reliable. Perhaps, but maybe it’s also due to the shortage of policemen on the streets. Or changing social circumstances. Or some combination of these factors.The game between humans and their smart devices is amusing and complex. It is shaped by economics and psychology and the cultures we live in. Somewhere in the mix of those forces there may be a way for a wiser use of technology.If there is such a way, it should involve more than just an awareness of the shortcomings of our machines. After all, we have lived with them for thousands of years. They have probably been fooling us for just as long.4. What did Paula Ceely think was the cause of her accident？A. She was not familiar with the road.B. It was dark and raining heavily then.C. The railway workers failed to give the signal.D. Her GPS device didn’t tell her about the crossing.5. The phrase “near miss〞 (Paragraph 2) can best be replaced by______.A. close hitB. heavy lossC. narrow escapeD. big mistake6. Which of the following would Rick Stevenson most probably agree with?A. Modern technology is what we can’t live without.B. Digital technology often falls short of our expectation.C. Digital devices are more reliable than they used to be.D. GPS error is not the only cause for Ceely’s accident.第三局部英语知识运用〔共两节，总分为40分〕第一节完形填空〔共20小题：每一小题1.5分，总分为30分〕阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项〔A、B、C和D〕中，选出可以填入空白处的最优选项。

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（31）一、阅读理解1. Up to 90% of school leavers in major Asian cities are suffering from myopia —short-sightedness, a study suggests. Researchers say the “extraordinary rise” in the problem is being caused by students working very hard in school and missing out on outdoor light.Eye experts say that you are short-sighted if your vision is blurred(模糊的) beyond 2m. It is often caused by an elongation (拉抻)of the eyeball that happens when people are young. According to the research, the problem is being caused by a combination of factors — a commitment to education and lack of outdoor light.Professor Morgan who led this study argues that many children in South East Asia spend long hours studying at school and doing their homework. This in itself puts pressure on the eyes, but exposure to between two and three hours of daylight helps maintain healthy eyes.Cultural factors also seem to play a part. Across many parts of South East Asian children often have a lunchtime nap. According to Professor Morgan they are missing out on natural light to prevent short-sightedness.A big concern is the numbers of the students suffering from “high” myopia. One in five of these students could experience severe visual impairment(障碍)and even blindness. These people are at considerable risk-sometimes people are not told about it and are just given more powerful glasses-they need to be warned about the risk and given some self-testing measures so they can get to an ophthalmologist and get some help.For decades, researchers believed there was a strong genetic component to the condition. But this study strongly suggests an alternative view. “Any type of simple genetic explanation just doesn’t fit with that speed of change; gene pools just don’t change in two generations. Whether it’s a purely environmental effect or an environmental effect playing a sensitive genome, it really doesn't matter, the thing that’s changed is not the gene pool—it's the environment.”1.As is mentioned above, which factor mainly results in students' myopia in South East Asia?ck of research into the problem.B.Genetic faults of the people.C.Elongation of the eyeball.D.The shortage of outdoor light.2.Which of the following statements do you think Professor Morgan agrees with?A.A lunchtime nap is helpful in reducing myopia.B.Glasses keep myopia from getting even worse.C.It's necessary to treat myopia with an operation.D.It's of vital importance to reduce educational pressure.3.What's the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Short-sightedness has nothing to do with changes in gene pools.B.Gene remains the main cause of the long-standing problem.C.An environmental effect playing a sensitive genome counts.D.The environment is to blame for the extraordinary rise in myopia.4.What's the best way to take care of your eyes according to the passage?A.Look at the sun from time to time.B.Do eyes exercise regularly.C.Spend more time in the open air.D.Equip the classroom with better lights.2. The roads that wind along the Seine used to be full of heavy traffic. Today, cyclists are enjoying the waterside peace. On the right bank opposite the Eiffel Tower, cars have been made to travel in a single lane (车道), leaving the other to bicycles.A sense of being controlled is felt by the capital’s car owners. Anne Hidalgo, the Socialist mayor of Paris, is starting “a war against cars”.As part of the city hall’s plan to increase the share of trips taken by bicycle from 5% to 15% by 2020, protected cycling lanes are being lengthened al ong some of the city’s main roads. A whole road on the busy Rue de Rivoli is being changed into a two-way bike route. The left bank’s road was closed to cars in 2013, six years after the city made a bike-sharing plan.“Paris is not anti-car, but anti-p ollution”, says Jean-Louis Missika, the head of planning at city hall. Pollution levels in the city are especially high. With its narrow streets, the government is trying its best to reduce cars that do not carry passengers. Fully 80% of cars running in central Paris carry only one person, and 79% of those on its roads are privately owned. BlaBlaCar, a French ride-sharing startup, recently introduced BlaBlalines, a new app produced to help people who travel to and from work share cars.The war against cars started by Ms Hidalgo is also a rethink of how the city should start an age that will be shaped by electric cars and driverless transport. “It will be as great as the change from horse-drawn carriages (马车) to cars.” says Mr. Missika. He expects to see the first driverlesssix-person taxis in Paris next year, and says that city hall will ban privately owned cars in the centre by 2025-30.1.What does Paragraph 1 try to show?A.The modern life of Paris.B.The heavy traffic in Paris.C.The great scenery of Paris.D.The reduction of cars in Paris.2.Why have some actions mentioned in Paragraph 3 been taken?A.To avoid car accidents.B.To encourage bike riding.C.To make people live a comfortable life.D.To show the importance of public transport3.What is the government doing to reduce pollution according to Paragraph 4?A.It has closed some narrow streets.B.It has banned privately owned cars.C.It discourages cars without passengers.D.It encourages public transport journeys.4.What is Mr. Missika’s attitude toward the war against cars?A.He is uncertain about it.B.He has high hopes for it.C.He is against it.D.He doubts it.3.St. Christopher’s InnsBackpacker HostelsEnjoy your stayServices and facilitiesFind out just what we have on offer during your stay with us.24 hours receptionBreakfast every day from 07:30 AM to 10 AMFree WIFI throughout the buildingLaundryPool table, ping pongVending machine down near receptionSecure coin lockerBike HireTravel KioskTowel HireFree breakfast when you book directOur house rulesHere is a quick to help you have a great time during your stay with us.Have fun, party hard and sleep easy.Please be respectful to our neighbours and keep the noise down outside.No smoking in the hostel and no drinking alcohol in the dorm rooms.Please be considerate to your room mates.It something is great, tell your friends.

That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold.An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her.She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.“Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Karmen.

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（21）一、阅读理解1.Surviving Hurricane Sandy(飓风桑迪)Natalie Doan,14, has always felt lucky to live in Rockaway, New York. Living just a few blocks from the beach, Natalie can see the ocean and hear the wave from her house. “ It’s theoc ean that makes Rockaway so special,” she says.On October 29, 2012, that ocean turned fierce. That night, Hurricane Sandy attacked the East Coast, and Rockaway was hit especially hard. Fortunately, Natalie’s family escaped to Brooklyn shortly before th e city’s bridge closed.When they returned to Rockaway the next day, they found their neighborhood in ruins. Many of Natalie’s friends had lost their homes and were living far away. All around her, people were suffering, especially the elderly. Natalie’s school was so damaged that she had to temporarily attend a school in Brooklyn.In the following few days, the men and women helping Rockaway recover inspired Natalie. Volunteers came with carloads of donated clothing and toys. Neighbors devoted their spare time to helping others rebuild. Teenagers climbed dozens of flights of stairs to deliver water and food to elderly people trapped in powerless high-rise buildings.“My mom tells me that I can’t control what happens to me,” Natalie says. “but I can always choose how I deal with it.”Natalie’s choice was to help.She created a website page matching survivors in need with donors who wanted to help. Natalie posted introduction about a boy named Patrick, who lost his baseball card collecting when his house burned down. Within days, Patrick’s collection was replaced.In the coming months, her website page helped lots of kids: Christopher, who received a new basketball; Charlie, who got a new keyboard. Natalie also worked with other organizations to bring much-need supplies to Rockaway. Her efforts made her a famous person. Last April, she was invited to the White House and honored as a Hurricane Sandy Champion of Change.Today, the scars(创痕) of destruction are still seen in Rockaway, but hope is in the air. The streets are clear, and many homes have been rebuilt. “I can’t imagine living anywhere but Rockaway,” Natalie declares. “My neighborhood will be back, even stronger than before.”1.When Natalie returned to Rockaway after the hurricane, she found______.A.some friends had lost their livesB.her neighborhood was destroyedC.her school had moved to BrooklynD.the elderly were free from suffering2.According to paragraph4, who inspired Natalie most?A.The people helping Rockaway rebuildB.The people trapped in high-rise buildingC.The volunteers donating money to survivorsD.Local teenagers bringing clothing to elderly people3.How did Natalie help the survivors?A.She gave her toys to the kidsB.She took care of younger childrenC.She called on the White House to helpD.She built an information sharing platform4.What does the story intend to tell us?A.Little people can make a big differenceB.A friend in need is a friend indeedC.East or West, home is bestD.Technology is power2 Farming is moving indoors, where the sun never shines, where rainfall is irrelevant(不相干的)and where the climate is always right. The perfect crop field could be inside a windowless building with controlled light, temperature, wetness, air quality and nutrition. It could be in a New York high-rise or a sprawling complex (综合楼) in the Saudi desert. It may be an answer to the world’s food problems.The world is already having trouble feeding itself. Half the people on Earth live in cities, and nearly half of those--about 3 billion--are hungry or ill-fed. Food prices, currently increasing, are buffeted by dryness, floods and the cost of energy required to plant, harvest and transport. And prices will only get more unstable. Climate change makes long-term crop planning uncertain. Farmers in many parts of the world are already using water available to the last drop. And the world is getting more crowded: by mid-century, the global population will grow from 6. 8 billion to 9 billion.To feed so many people may require expanding farmland at the expense of forests and wilderness, or finding ways to completely increase crop output.Gertjan Meeuws has taken the concept of a greenhouse a step further, growing vegetables and house plants in enclosed(封闭的) and regulated environments. In their research station, water flows into the pans when needed, and the temperature is kept constant. Lights go on and off, creating similar day and night, but according to the rhythm of the plant.A building of 100 square meters and 14 layers(层) of plants could provide a daily diet of 200 grams of fresh fruit and vegetables to the entire population of Den Bosch, about 140, 000 people. Their idea is not to grow foods that require much space, like corn or potatoes.Here sunlight is not only unnecessary but can be harmful. Plants need only specific wavelengths of light to grow. Their growth rate is three times faster than under greenhouse conditions. They use about 90 percent less water than outdoors agriculture. And city farming mea ns producing food near the consumer, and there’s no need to transport it long distances.1.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A.The climate is worse and worse.B.The city people live a hard life.C.The world has difficulty feeding its people.D.The worl d’s population is increasing fast.2.The underlined word “buffeted” in Paragraph 2 means“ ________”.A.badly affectedB.preventedC.demandedD.well achieved3.It can be inferred from the text that Gertjan Meeuws’s farming________.A.helps save sea water a lotB.suits different conditionsC.is completely different from greenhouse agricultureD.suits the production of corn4.What is the text mainly about?A.Development of indoor farming.B.Great Revolution in farming.C.Advantages of indoor farming.D.Sunless, rainless indoor farming.3. According to new research from the University of Cambridge in England, sheep are able to recognize human faces from photographs.The farm animals, who are social and have large brains, were previously known to be able to recognize one another, as well as familiar humans. However, their ability to recognize human faces from photos alone is novel.The recent study, the results of which were published in the journal Royal Society; Open Science, show the woolly creatures could be trained to recognize still images of human faces, including those of former President Barack Obama and actress Emma Watson.Initially, the sheep were trained to approach certain images by being given food rewards. Later, they were able to recognize the images for which they had been rewarded. The sheep could even recognize images of faces shown at an angle, though their ability to do so declined by about 15 percent—the same rate at which a human’s ability to perform the same task declines,“An yone who has spent time working with sheep will know that they are intelligent and individual animals who are able to recognize their handlers.” said Professor Jenny Morton, who led the Cambridge study. “We’ve shown with our study that sheep have advanced face-recognition abilities, close to those of humans and monkeys.”Recognizing faces is one of he most important social skills for human beings, and some disorders of the brain, including Huntington’s disease, affect this ability.“Sheep are long-lived and have brains that are similar in size and complexity to those of some monkeys. That means they can be useful models to help us understand disorders of the brain, such as Huntington’s disease that develop over a long time and affect cognitive (认识的) abilities. Our study gives us another way to monitor how these abilities change.” Morton said.1.According to the new research, what’s unusual about sheep?A.They have large brains.B.They can recognize their owners.C.They can tell animals from humans.D.They can recognize human faces from photographs.2.How did the researchers train the sheep?A.By giving food rewards.B.By showing photos of famous people.C.By guiding them to follow their handlers.D.By showing photos of humans and monkeys by tums.3.What can be inferred from the passage?A.Sheep have a higher face-recognition ability than monkeys.B.The new discovery is of great benefit to the study of cognitive ability changes.C.The sheep’s face-recognition ability may prevent some disorders of the brain.D.The sheep’s face-recognition ability stays the same when shown photos at any angle.4.What’s the best title of the passage?A.A Wonderful Scientist.B.The Life of Sheep.C.A New Discovery about Sheep.D.How Sheep Recognize4. Poetry is never far away from our daily lives. Many of us grew up reciting classic poems from textbooks, learning to appreciate this beautiful art form that’s able to use just a few lines to convey such rich meanings.To recognize the unique ability of poetry to capture the creative spirit of the human mind, World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21 each year. One of the main goals of the day, according to the UN, is to support linguistic (语言的) diversity through poetic expression.Chinese poetry has a long history that dates back to the Western Zhou dynasty. It peaked during the Tang and Song dynasties. Even today, classic poems are still loved by a lot of people.And even TV series featuring classic poetry are hugely popular. For example, in the 2011 hit period drama, Empresses in the Palace, also known as The Legend of Zhenhuan, classic poems recited by the show’s characters are often quoted by internet users. One of the drama’s most moving songs was adapted from a verse (韵文) written by Wen Tingyun of the Tang dynasty.On the surface, the verse “displays a daily scenario (场景) of a solitary (独居的) woman; but underneath, the poetry expresses the dejection (沮丧) of an underappreciated and undervalued scholar,” Peng Yuping, a scholar at Sun Yat-sen University, told China RadioInternational. Meanwhile, the TV show Chinese Poetry Competition, which features classic works from famous Chinese poets, is also a big success.“In poetry, I’ve found echoes of human emotions, including happiness, anger, joy an d sorrow,” one of the show’s contestants, Bai Ruyun, told CCTV. “When I read ancient texts, I feel I reach the depths of these poems and find the real meanings of them.”As an intellectual testament to the richness of Chinese civilization, classic poetry has become an important way to inherit and spread traditional Chinese culture. In January, the Ministry of Education released new curriculum standards for high schools that recommend students recite 72 ancient poems or articles, up from 14.Indeed, many people believe that learning classic poems is important in today’s world. “Through the bridge of poetry, people today can resonate with (产生共鸣) the aesthetics and values of our ancestors. Their wisdom has gained new life in the modern world,” Yao Xishu ang, director of the Department of Language Application and Administration under the Ministry of Education, told CCTV.1.Why does the UN hold World Poetry Day, according to the article?A.To encourage the creation of poetry around the world.B.To bring attention to the linguistic differences in poetry.C.To build a better global community through poetry.D.To remind people of the long history of poetry.2.What are paragraphs 4-5 mainly about?A.Poetry in our daily lives.B.Poetry in modern society.C.Poetry in a hit reality show.D.Poetry in a period drama.3.How many more ancient poems are highs school students recommended to memorize, according to the new curriculum standards?A.14.B.21.C.58.D.72.二、七选五5根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（5）一、阅读理解1. Something extraordinary happened last month at Billy Earl Dade Middle School in Dallas. The school— with a student population of nearly 900, about 90 percent from low-income families­­­­— planned to host its first “Breakfast with Dads”. About 150 male students, ages 11 to 13, signed up. But event organizers were concerned that some would attend without their Dads at their side, so they put out a call for volunteers who could serve as fathers.When the day came for the event, nearly 600 men showed up to help and mentor(指导) the boys, some of them volunteering for the first time.Back in December, the team ran into some difficulties when planning their annual “Breakfast with Dads” events. Dade’s community organizer Ellyn Favors mentioned that students’ participation was low because of some young men not having a father to attend the event. So she decided to post a call for volunteers on Facebook in the hope of finding 50 male mentors to accompany the middle school boys.Then it led the team to move the event from the cafeteria into the gymnasium so they could house more guests. Team members from Big Thought, the Office OF Cultural Affairs, and even the organizer’s personal friends showed up al ongside the male mentors to make the event possible.“I will never forget witnessing the young students surrounded by supportive community members. There were so many volunteers, that at times I saw young men surrounded in the center of 4-5 mentors. They were laughing. They were talking. They were discussing. They even trusted each other in such short time.” said Ellyn.1.How many students at Billy Earl Dade Middle School come from low-income families?A.900B.600C.810D.1502.Why did the organizers put out a call for volunteer fathers?A.Because they needed enough adult men to build a gymnasium.B.Because they were worried that some boys would have no courage.C.Because the event was about how to be a successful father.D.Because they were worried that some boys would attend the event without a father.3.What does the underlined word “it” mean in the 5th paragraph?A.The students in the school were from low-income families.B.Ellyn Favors posted a call for volunteer on Facebook.C.There were about 600 volunteers taking part in the event.D.Only 150 boy students signed up to have breakfast with dads.4.How would the students feel when they got help from the volunteer fathers?A.They would feel encouraged and warm.B.They would feel upset and helplessC.They would feel frustrated and negative.D.They would feel energetic and mad.2. There was a time in the 1960’s and 1970’s when some people believed that coffee would replace tea as Britain’s favourite drink, but that did not happen, and today, tea remains Britain’s favourite drink.To say that the British are fond of tea is something of an understatement. From the Royal(皇室的) Family down to the homeless and the out-of-work, tea is more than just a pleasure. It is an important part of life!The popularity of tea in the United Kingdom has a long history. It was in 1657 that Thomas Garway, the owner of a coffee house, sold the first tea in London. The drink soon became popular as another choice besides coffee.In those days, however, tea was not something for anyone. For a century and a half, it remained an expensive drink. Many bosses served a cup of it to their workers in the middle of the morning, thus inventing a lasting British institution, the “tea break”. But as a social drink outside the workplace, tea was served for the nobility(贵族) and for the growing middle classes. Among those who had the money for tea, it became very popular as a drink to be enjoyed in cafés and “tea gardens”.It was the 7th Duchess of Bedford who, in around 1800, st arted the popular “afternoon tea”, which took place at about four o’clock. At about the same time, the Earl of Sandwich popularised a new way of eating bread with something (e. g. jam) between them, and before long, a small meal at the end of the afternoon with tea and sandwiches had become part of a way of life.As tea became much cheaper during the nineteenth century, its popularity spread right through British society. In working-class households, it was served with the main meal of the day, eaten whe n workers returned home after a day’s labour. This meal has become known as “high tea”.Today, tea can be drunk at any time of day. Most people in Britain drink tea for breakfast. The mid-morning “tea break” is an institution in British offices and fac tories. Later in the day, “afternoon tea” is still a way of life in the south of England and among the middle classes, while “high tea” has remained a tradition in the north of Britain.1.Who played an important part in the beginning of tea time in England?A.Thomas Garway.B.The Royal Family.C.The Earl of Sandwich.D.The Duchess of Bedford.2.What does the underlined word “institution” mean in Paragraph 4?A.drinkB.workplaceC.traditionD.order3.What can we learn from the passage?A.The “tea break” kept the workers from being sleepy after lunch.B.Workers could enjoy a cup of tea in “tea gardens” at their workplace.C.“High tea” was usually served with the main meal for the middle classes.D.The “afternoon tea” together with sandwiches became popular in around 1800.4.What is the best title of the passage?A.The Popularity of TeaB.Tea and the BritishC.Tea and the Middle ClassD.The History of Tea3. I travel a lot, and I find out different"styles "of directions every time I ask"How can I get to the p ost office?”Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have names; in Japan, people use landmarks(地标)in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, " Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is opposite to the bus stop.”In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances.In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?” you ask.“Oh,” they answer,“it' s about five minutes from here.” You say,“Yes, but how many miles away is it? " They don’t know.It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say,"Sorry, I have no idea. " But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” People in Yucatan believe that" I don’t know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!1.When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually _______.A.describe the place carefullyB.show him a map of the placeC.tell him the names of the streetsD.refer to recognizable buildings and places2.People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer ______.A.in order to save timeB.as a testC.so as to be politeD.for fun3.What can we infer from the text?A.It's important for travellers to understand cultural differences.B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.C.People have similar understandings of politeness.D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.4. The unusual whistle language used as a means of communication by villagers in the remote and mountainous northern Turkey has been added to the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.The language is a highly developed high—pitch system of whistling to communicate in rugged(崎岖的)areas where people mostly cannot see each other.It can allow people to communicate across great distances,up to 5 pared with other similar whistle languages in Spain’s Canary Islands,in Mexico,or in Greek villages,it has a higher tone and larger vocabulary.This unusual form of communication,which dates some 500 years ago,to the Ottoman Empire was born from sheer necessity and widespread across the Black Sea regions.But 50 years ago,it suffered the impact of the progression of technology and nowadays the rapid growth of cellular mobile systems has put this cultural heritage under serious threat.For centuries,the language has been passed on from grandparent to parent,from parent to child Now,though,many of its most proficient speakers who use their tongue,teeth and fingers are aging all becoming physically weak.Young people are no longer interested in learning the language or in finding ways to update its vocabulary with new words,and in a few generations it may be gone for good.“Our bird language is very convenient and efficient to communicate across the valleys.It has many benefits over yelling,which is bad for our throats.”said Avni Kocek,head of the bird village adding that despite setbacks because of technology,“bird language is still used by many ofus.Whistle language is transmitted from our elders to us and we have the duty to transmit it to our children. We are making efforts to keep our culture alive through the annual Bird Language Festival.”Besides,the bird language has been required to be taught at primary schools since 2014 by district authorities in order to instill the practice in younger generations.1.What is the bird language’s advantage over other similar whistle languages?A.It is used as a means of communication.B.It is older and has a larger number of users.C.It can send more messages to farther places.D.It is a completely different system of whistling.2.What’s the biggest threat to the bird language?A.Other whistle languages are more effectively protected.B.The necessity to use it in everyday life is disappearing.C.Many of its most proficient speakers are growing old.D.Young people find it too difficult to learn well enough.3.What’s the most effective measure so far taken to protect the bird language?A.It has become a subject at primary schools.B.Bird Language Festival is celebrated every month.C.Cellular mobile systems are not allowed in the area.D.All parents are required to transmit it to their children.4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Preserving the EndangeredB.ird languageB.The Story of a Bird Language SpeakerC.Celebrating the Bird Language FestivalD.The Disappearance of Bird Language二、七选五5.根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（9）一、阅读理解1 In a recent announcement, Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) said that they have joined forces to offer free online courses in an effort to attract millions of online learners worldwide.Beginning this fall, a number of courses developed by teachers at both universities will be offered online through a new $60 million program, known as edX. “Anyone with an Internet connection anywhere in the world can use our online courses,” Harvard President D rew Faust said during a meeting to announce the plan.MIT has offered a program called Open Course Ware for ten years that makes materials from more than 2,000 classes free online. It has been used by more than 100 million people. In December, the school announced it also would begin offering a special certificate, known as MITx, for people who complete certain online courses. Harvard has long offered courses to a wider population through a similar program.The MITx will serve as the foundation for the new learning platform.MIT President Susan Hockfield said more than 120,000 people signed up for the first MITx course. She said Harvard and MIT hope other universities will join them in offering courses on the open-source edX platform.“Fasten your seatbelts,” Hockfield said.Other universities, including Stanford, Yale and Carnegie-Mellon, have been experimenting with teaching to a global population online.The Harvard-MIT program will be monitored by a not-for-profit (非盈利的) organization based in Cambridge, to be owned equally by the two universities. Both MIT and Harvard have provided $30 million to start the program. They also plan to use the edX platform to research how students learn and which teaching methods and tools are most successful.1.According to this text, edX is _______.A.a part of the free MIT OpenCourseWareB.a free computer program by MIT and HarvardC.a Harvard-MIT platform of free online coursesD.a free program online for universities worldwide2.What is said about online education in the text?A.Universities have been trying online courses.B.About 2,000 online courses have been offered.C.Over 100 million people have finished courses online.D.Stanford and Yale together have courses similar to edX.3.The underlined part in the text probably means _____.A.Get ready for the difficultiesB.Get ready for this educational changeC.Get prepared to complete the online coursesD.Get prepared to make materials for the edX courses4.What can be said about MITx according to the text?A.It is first offered as part of the edX learning program.B.It is another free MIT-Harvard online learning program.C.It is a standard to recognize online learners’ achievement.D.It is a new kind of free online course of Harvard and MIT.2. The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that can float.An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives --- a nation of a number of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean --- not suitable for humans to live in by 2100, the UN’s climate change experts have warned.President Mohamed Nasheed has declared a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study suggestions for a floating structure that could support a conference centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course.The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. Its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providinglarge-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.The Maldives began to work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there in order to ease crowdedness. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to fight climate change.Nasheed, who held the world’s first underwater cabinet (内阁) meeting in October to highlight his people’s serious and difficult situation, has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the wo rld to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are completely covered.He has also promised to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral (碳中和)” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources such as burning coconut husks.1.According to the passage, the Maldives is a country ________.A.that is made up of many small islandsB.which has been covered by water nowC.where people live in underwater housesD.whose people live in their floating homes2.Mohamed Nasheed chose Dutch Docklands for his plan probably because it ________.A.has a good fame throughout the worldB.charged much less than other companiesC.has experience in building floating structuresD.supports building floating structures in the world3.The Hulhumale was built for the purpose of ________.A.attracting more visitorsB.making it a new capitalC.fighting against climate changeD.making the capital less crowded4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To promote the idea of low-carbon living style.B.To tell people that the Maldives is disappearing soon.C.To discuss the causes why the Maldives faces extinction.D.To introduce the efforts taken by Maldivians to fight for life.3. When your family arrives in Marrakech,the fourth largest city of Morocco,start your journey in the main square of Dejemaa el-Fna,the center of Marrakech's medina quarter(old city).Here kids will see the monkey men,cobra charmers,acrobats,storytellers,and henna-haired artists.The medina itself is a network of streets of jewelry,cafes,silverware,furniture,pottery,andsuqs(The Arab word for markets).The courtyards of riad(traditional Moroccan houses or palaces) are filled with sweet-smelling flowers and orange trees,and decorated with attractive fountains.From somewhere comes the beautiful music of sinters—Moroccan versions of guitars.Food stalls(摊位) serve kebabs,fried fish,hot bread,couscous,and slow-cooked lamb.For the next step of your journey,go deep into the suq,like the McCarthys.“Kids are so used to discovering things.Every corner was filled with strange and interestingthings.Colors,sounds,objects needed explanation. Touching and handling things were encouraged.Every interaction(互动) made my nine-year-old son,Sam question: What's this drum made of? Why is that man buried in a hole up to his waist?The inquisitiveness made his interaction with locals easy and playful,” said actor and writer Andrew McCarthy.“I have never met people who delight in kids more than Moroccans,” he continued.“They all seem to be half-child,half-adult themselves.So they were quick to play.My child wasn't used to urging me to buy;he was given gifts nearly everywhere we stopped,with nothing expected inr eturn.Everyone asked him his name.Kids are treated as stars here.”The suq is a dizzying market of mazelike(迷宫似的) passages and countless stalls.It remains traditional,filled with day-to-day life that most kids born in modern cities will find unfamiliar,but that offers you a chance to discuss cultural differences with your child.“My son loved people actually creating things—dyeing fabric different colors,men carving wood who always gave him small objects after they were made,” says McCarthy.“He was fascinated by the streets where people lived.He accepted the poverty without judgment.He talked and played with kids his age with natural sympathy and respect in a way I had never seen or taught him,”said McCarthy.1.What does the underlined word “inquisitiveness” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A.Patience.B.Curiosity.fort.D.Explanation.2.What impressed McCarthy according to the last Paragraph?A.The locals' poor living conditions.B.The wonderful wooden objects.C.Sam's way to interact with local kids.D.The artistic creativity of Moroccans.3.If you go deep into the suq, you________.A.can see many interesting things in every cornerB.cannot touch anything in the suqC.should not ask questionsD.should bargain for a good price4.This passage is written mainly for ________.A.businessmen in MoroccoB.parents with young kidsC.visitors in MarrakechD.local people in Marrakech4. Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low carbon economy,a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday.“China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy”,said Zhou Changyi,director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.“While we can learn many as pects from developed nations,they also should learn something from us,such as water conservation,” Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009.He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change. The United Kingdom,for example,is concerned about transport,buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions. For China,the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized.As such, overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section.Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product lifecycle assessment,or LCA,which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling.Tobias Becker,head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China,said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions.LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its lifecycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage.

2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（3）一、阅读理解1. November not only marks the publication of Toni Morrison’s eagerly anticipated(期待) eighth novel, Love, but it is also the tenth anniversary of her Nobel Prize for Literature. Morrison is the first black woman to receive a Nobel, and so honored before her in literature are only two black men: Wole Soyinka, the Nigerian playwright, poet and novelist, in 1986; and Derek Walcott, the Caribbean-born poet, in 1992. But Morrison is also the first and only American-born Nobel prizewinner for literature since 1962, the year novelist John Steinbeck received the award.Like Song of Solomon, Love is a multigenerational story, revealing the personal and communal legacy of an outstanding black family. As Morrison scholars will tell you, Love is the third volume of a literary master’s trilogy(三部曲)investigating the many complexities of love. This trilogy began with Beloved(1988), which deals with a black mother’s love under slavery and in freedom. Jazzy(1993), the second volume, tells a story of romantic love in 1920s Harlem. This latest novel looks back from the 1970s to the 1940s and 50s.The emotional center of Love is Bill Cosey, the former owner and host of the shabby Cosey’s Hotel and Resort in Silk, North Carolina, describe d in the novel as “the best and best-known vacation sport for colored folk on the East Coast.” We get to know Cosey through the memories of five women who survive and love him: his granddaughter, his widow, two former employees, and a homeless young girl.The latest novel, Love, had been described in the promotional material from her publisher as “Morrison’s most accessible work since Song of Solomon.” This comparison to her third novel, published in 1977, was an effective selling point.1.What would be the best title for the text?A.Toni Morrison’s latest novelsB.Toni Morrison and her trilogyC.Toni Morrison, the Nobel prizewinnerD.Toni Morrison and her novel Love2.What can we learn about John Steinbeck?A.He was born in America.B.He was a black writer.C.He received the Nobel Prize after MorrisonD.He was the first American novelist to win a Nobel3.The similarity between Love and Song of Solomon is that they both _____.A.belong to the same trilogy together withB.eloved B. deal with life of blacks under slaveryC.concern families of more than one generationD.investigate life in 1920s Harlem4.The novel Love mainly describes ______.A.the best-known vacation spot for blacksB.the life of an outstanding black family under slaveryC.the miserable experience of the five women in HarlemD.the memories of five women about Bill Cosey2 As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself”(DIY)trend in the US continues to grow.“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Roses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $520. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I have finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a“do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.1.We can learn from the text that many newly married people__________.A.find it hard to pay for what they needB.have to learn to make their own furnitureC.takeD.IY courses run by the government D.seldom go to a department store to buy things2.John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to __________.A.run a DIY shopB.make or repair thingsC.save time and moneyD.improve the quality of life3.Jim decided to become a do-it-yourselfer when__________A.his car repairs cost too muchB.the car repair class was not helpfulC.He couldn’t possibly do two jobsD.keeps house and looks after his children4.When the writer says that Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim_________.A.makes shoes in his homeB.does extra work at nightC.does his own car and home repairsD.keeps house and looks after his children3. A good hiking trip should be planned out ahead of time. Whether it is a hike on a mountain trail or through the woods, an enjoyable hiking trip can easily turn into a dangerous situation if safety is not considered well. North Mountain State Park recommends hikers consider the following tips before hitting any trails:Make a copy of your itinerary to give to a family member or a friend. Make sure that someone close to you knows where you are and how long you will be gone.Wear a good pair of hiking boots or strong athletic shoes. The right shoes will keep you safe, warm, and comfortable.Prepare for various types of weather conditions. Check the forecast before you leave; take along sunglasses and extra clothing (e.g., a hat and /or a jacket for a day hike).Pack plenty of food and water. Consider how long your hike will be and pack accordingly.Pack basic and necessary supplies. Bring a first-aid kit, a flashlight, a pocket knife, a map of the area (if available), and a compass. You may need other supplies, such as matches, depending on how long your hike will be.Determine what time the sun sets. This information is available in most local newspapers. Most people become lost after nightfall, so it is important to know this information.Stay on properly marked trails. Stay on established trails to decrease the chances of becoming lost. Staying on established trails also lowers the risk of doing harm to rare and endangered plants.Carry a whistle(哨子). Using a loud whistle is a good way to call attention to your location if you get lost.Keep an eye out for wildlife. Do not approach animals in the wild, even if they seem friendly.The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission (WSPRC) manages a diverse system of more than 120 parks. The 90-year-old park system, which receives nearly 48 million visits a year, ranks 4th nationally in day-use attendance, 10th in overnight attendance, and the WSPRC has a smaller budget than most states.1.The underlined word “itinerary” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.A.a phone bookB.a travel planC.a goalD.an address2.According to the text, if hikers ignore what time the sun sets, they might________.A.lose their wayB.need extra clothingC.be attacked by wild animalsD.have difficulty finding supplies3.What can we learn about WSPRC?A.It’ s operated very well.B.It provides search and rescue services.C.It provides trails and wildlife protection.D.It’ s only accessible durin g summer months.4. In any theatrical performance the actors are just a small part of the people needed.Once the play has been decided by the director, the actors must be chosen. This is done by casting, a very skillful and important occupation. The actors will create a success or a failure out of a production. They have to be right for the part they will play, and also work well with the director.Production planning is the next important step. The style of the play is confirmed (确定) and then a small model of the different rooms on stage (sets) is created. It will be important that the sets can be taken down and rebuilt easily as the production may travel to different theatres.Detailed drawings of each set are produced and the Workshop, Paintshop and Props Department go to work. The Props Department is responsible for some of the stage furniture plus the extra items which the actor will need while they are on stage.The Costume Designer decides how all the actors will be dressed. This includes shoes, hats, costumes, jewels. Costume makers have fittings with the actors to get the costume sizes right for the whole cast. Wigs (假发) and make-up are dealt with by another set of experts.It is the Stage Planning team who schedule rehearsals(排练) and decisions made here will affect how the production is organized.The Stage Department is responsible for making sure that everything at the theatre is in place and working properly.
