课时作业(三十九)[选修8Unit 4Pygmalion]

(限时：30分钟)

Ⅰ.语法填空

Over the years I've been teaching kids about a simple 1.________ powerful concept—the ant philosophy. They have an amazing four-part philosophy. First, ants never quit. They'll climb over, they'll climb under, and they'll climb around.

They keep looking for another way. What a neat (了不起的) philosophy it is to never quit

2.________ (look )for a way to get

3.________ you're supposed to go! Second, ants think about winter and summer.

That's 4.________ important attitude. You can't be 5.________ naive (幼稚的) as to think summer will last forever. People who have a little experience are clear about this. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer. It's important to be realistic. You have to think about rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.

The third part is that ants think summer all winter. During the winter, they remind 6.________，“This won't last long; we'll soon be out of here.” And 7.________ the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 8.________ (turn) cold again, they'll dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. They can't wait 9.________ (get) out.

Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All that it

10.________ (possible) can.

What a great philosophy to have—the ant philosophy: never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.

Ⅱ.阅读理解

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book”project in 1998. Her original program used author visits，study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York，where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved.Or it may show that New

Yorkers rather missed the point，putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than into discussion about a book itself.

Ultimately，as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared_a_word．

11．What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A．To invite authors to guide readers.

B．To encourage people to read and share.

C．To involve people in community service.

D．To promote the friendship between cities.

12．Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A．They had little interest in reading.

B．They were too busy to read a book.

C．They came from many different backgrounds.

D．They lacked support from the local government.

13. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A．In large communities with little sense of unity.

B．In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C．In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D．In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

14. The underlined words“shared a word”in Paragraph 5 probably mean “________”．

A．exchanged ideas with each other

B．discussed the meaning of a word

C．gained life experience

D．used the same language

15. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by________．

A．the careful selection of a proper book

B．the growing popularity of the writers

C．the number of people who benefit from reading

D．the number of books that each person reads

Megamind is a super-intelligent alien who, at only eight days old, is sent to Earth by his parents as his home planet is destroyed by a black hole.
