课时跟踪练(一) Warm up & Lesson 1Ⅰ.阅读理解ABill Gates was born on October 28, 1955 in a rich family. Bill strongly believes in hard work. He believes that if you are intelligent and know how to apply your intelligence, you can achieve anything.From childhood Bill was ambitious, intelligent and competitive. These qualities helped him to achieve the top position in the profession he chose. In school, he had excellent records in mathematics and science. He used to be really bored in school and his parents knew it, so they always tried to feed him with more information to keep him busy. Bill’s parents came to know about their son’s intelligence and decided to send him to a private school, known for its intense academic environment. It was a very important decision for Bill, and it was there that he was introduced to a computer.Bill Gates and his friends were very much interested in the world of programming and formed “Programmers Group” in 1968. Being in this group, they found a new way to apply their skills in University of Washington. In the next year, they got their first opportunity in an information company, in which they were selected as programmers.Soon afterwards, Bill and his close friend Allen started a new company of their own —Traf­O­Data. They developed a small computer to measure the traffic flow. From this project they earned around $20,000. The company Traf­O­Data came to an end when Bill left the college. In 1973, he left home for Harvard University. He studied law and mathematics there. He did well there, but he found them boring soon. Within a year, Bill dropped out from Harvard. Then he formed Microsoft.Bill is a person with big dreams and works very hard to achieve them. His belief in high intelligence and hard work has put him where he is today. He does not believe in luck but just hard work. He likes playing the game of risk and keeping the whole world under control. His beliefs are so powerful, which have helped him increase his wealth and his monopoly (垄断) in the industry.语篇解读：比尔·盖茨是一位成功人士。

课时跟踪检测（六） Warm-up & Lesson 1 — Pre-reading 阅读理解AFuturologists (未来学家) predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology. First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a programme from a “menu” (菜单) and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computer. We will also be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.In transport, cars will run on new, clean “gas” and they will go very fast. Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to where you want to go. Space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours.In technology, robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots — they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to produce clones (克隆) of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.语篇解读：这是一篇说明文。

阅读理解AMany people believe eating healthily is expensive — and more costly than buying junk foods。

But our new research， published in the BMC Public Health, shows this isn't the truth.Most of the Australian family food budget （预算） is being spent on junk foods and drinks that are high in fat, sugar and salt.Less than 7% of Australians eat healthily.The Australian adults get at least 35% of their energy from junk foods and drinks.As a result, two。

thirds of adults （63%) and one。

quarter of children are overweight。

We used the Australian Health Survey 2011－2013 and the suggestions of the Australian Dietary Guidelines to model healthy diets for a family of two adults and two children every two weeks。

We collected food prices in supermarkets and stores in high。

阅读理解AThere are robot cleaners and robot mops to help us around the house, so why not a robot to build our homes?Wait no longer.Now there is a set of electronics to do just that, build a house from scratch, and fast。

Forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction; a machine developed in the United States can build a 232 sqm home layer by layer in a singleday.University of Southern California's Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has designed the giant robot that replaces construction workers with a mouth on an arm of crane （起重机）, which spits out concrete (混凝土） and can quickly build a home according to a computer pattern。

The technology, known as Contour (轮廓) Crafting, could revolutionize the construction industry.Contour Crafting could greatly decrease the cost of homeowning, making it possible for millions of displaced people to_get_on_the_property_ladder.It could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing。
