APygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentimentsone of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, who picks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated people do, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a human being and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure, but never stops to consider how the girl feels.When the experiment is over, he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.1．What does the underlined phrase “passes her off as” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Let her pretend to be. B．Dress her up as.C．Make her become. D．Turn into.2．What kind of person do you think Higgins is according to the second paragraph?A．He is a kind man.B．He is a considerate man.C．He is a selfish man.D．He is a rude man.3．Why does not Eliza marry Higgins? Because ________．A．she does not love himB．his mother does not like any girl to be her rivalC．he likes to be a bachelorD．he doesn't love any girl for fear of them being his mother's rivals 4．Which of the following statement is TRUE?A．Shaw was in fact a Greek sculptor.B．Higgins was experimenting with Eliza.C．Eliza wanted to become an educated lady very much.D．Higgins fell in love with Eliza at first sight.答案与解析语篇导读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。
1．A词义猜测题。
根据前文的“teaches her to speak as educatedpeople do”以及下文的“In the course of all his experiments and exhibitions”可知该短语的意思是“把某人冒充或假装为”。
2．C推理判断题。
根据第二段第三句可知希金斯只考虑自己的成败得失，从不考虑伊莉莎的感受，显然他是一个自私的人。
3．D细节理解题。
根据最后一段第三句可知伊莉莎不会嫁给希金斯，因为希金斯担心未来的妻子会成为他母亲的对手，所以他不敢爱上任何一个女孩。
4．B细节理解题。
根据第二段可知希金斯只是把伊莉莎当成一个试验品。
故B正确。
BMinutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater's 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building's end.The film classic The Last Picture Sho w was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed appropriate. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater's location(位置) was also a reason. “This used to be the center of town，”he said. “Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehous es.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said goodbye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater had shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.5．In what way was yesterday's cleanup at the Plaza special?A．It made room for new equipment.B．It signaled the closedown of the theater.C．It was done with the help of the audience.D．It marked the 75th anniversary of the theater.6．Why was The Last Picture Sho w put on?A．It was an alltime classic.B．It was about the history of the town.C．The audience requested it.D．The theater owner found it suitable.7．What will probably happen to the building?A．It will be repaired.B．It will be turned into a museum.C．It will be knocked down.D．It will be sold to the city government.8.What can we infer about the audience?A．They are disappointed with Bradford.B．They are sad to part with the old theater.C．They are supportive of the city officials.D．They are eager to have a shopping center.答案与解析语篇导读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一家具有75年历史的剧院因为不利的地理位置和现代剧院的竞争而被转售的故事。

The beetle felt pity for the rabbit and begged the eagle not to kill the poor creature. In the name of the great Jupiter, the beetle requested that the eagle respect his intercession（说情）and the laws of kindness even though he was nothing but a tiny insect. However, the eagle became very angry and drove the beetle away with his wing. In cold blood he caught the rabbit and ate him up right on the spot.When the eagle flew away, the beetle followed him to find out where his nest was. Then he entered and rolled the eagle's eggs out, breaking them one by one. Very sad and angry to think that anyone would do such a terrible thing, the eagle built his next nest in a higher place. But there, too, the beetle managed to get to it and destroyed the eggs as he had done before.The eagle now didn't know what to do. So he flew up to Jupiter, his god and king, and placed the third nest of eggs in his lap, begging him to guard them for him. However, the beetle made a little ball of dirt and flew up with it to Jupiter and dropped it on his lap. When Jupiter saw the dirt, he stood up right away to shake it off, forgetting the eggs, which were again broken as they rolled off his lap. The beetle now informed Jupiter that he had done this to take revenge on （报复）the eagle, who had not only wronged him, but had acted with little respect for Jupiter himself. Therefore, when the eagle returned, Jupiter told him that the beetle broke his eggs and that his complaint was not without good reasons. However, Jupiter did not want the race of eagles to face extinction, so he advised the beetle to arrange a peaceful settlement with him. But the beetle would not agree to this, and Jupiter had to change the eagle's reproduction（繁殖）time to another season when there are no beetles to be seen.49.We learn from the first paragraph that the beetle was.A.sympatheticB. confidentC. nervousD. intelligent50.Why did the eagle build his next nest in a higher place?A.To spot small animals easily.B.To stay away from the beetle.C.To protect his eggs from danger.D.To stay closer to his god Jupiter.51. Jupiter thought that the beetle's revenge on the eagle wasA. unnecessary C. too lateB. understandable D. too light52. The conflict in the story was mainly caused by _A. the rabbit B- the beetle______ .C. the eagleD. the eggscTraditional fairy tales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study has found.A research has discovered one in five parents has given up old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents say their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and killing. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears is also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents feel it forgives stealing.The survey of 2,000 adults was completed to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9 p.m. on Watch, and sees six drama series based on traditional fairy tales. The survey has found a quarter of parents polled will not consider reading a fairy talc to their children until they have reached the age of five, as they have to face too many awkward questions from their children.Steve Hornsey, General Manager, Watch, said, “Bedtime s tories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as wc see in GRIMM, some fairy talcs can be dark and dramatic tales so it's understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children. As adults, wc can see the innocence in fairy tales, but a fivc-ycar-old child would take them too seriously. Despite the dark nature of some classic fairy tales, as we see in GRIMM, good will defeat evil and there is always a moral to the story.”The study also shows two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares. However, half of parents think traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids' books, such as The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.53.We can learn from Para. 3 that GRIMM is.A.a fairy tale bookB.a movie for childrenC.a play loved by childrenD.a drama based on traditional fairy tales54.The underlined word “soothe” in Para. 4 can be replaced by "A. put down calm down take down come down55.Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?A.A moral always exists in a classic fairy tale.B.AH fairy tales are dark.C.Adults take fairy tales too seriously.D.All fairy tales are good for children's sleep.56.Whafs the author's attitude towards traditional fairy talcs?A. Optimistic. B, Not mentioned.C. Casual.D. Disapproving.DFor most of his life, Daniel Defoe worked as a businessman. However, when he was 60, he wrote something that was a great success- It was Robinson Crusoe, the first novel in English literature.Why do wc say that Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature? Novels arc full- length invented stories. But even if the events and people in the story are invented, they are described in a way that makes them seem real. Before Robinson Crusoe, nobody in English literature had written a story like that. In Robinson Crusoe. Defoe describes Robinson's adventures in great detail. It seems that the writer is talking to the reader. In the early 18th century, most writers wrote in a complex style that was very different from the way people talked. Critics at the time didn't like the style of Robinson Crusoe. They didn't understand that Defoe had created something new in literature.Robinson Crusoe is not only an exciting story but also a great novel. It makes the reader think about important questions about life. One interesting idea in the book is about the relationship between individuals and society. Robinson lives alone on an island. He is free to live any way he wants, but he chooses to live as a civilized man. Another interesting idea in the book is how people need one another in society. On the island, there is nobody to help Robinson. He has to do everything himself. He has to learn how to be a builder, a farmer and how to make clothes and shoes. This experience teaches Robinson how we all need the help of experts. The idea of value is also discussed in the book. When Robinson goes back to the sunken ship, looking for things that could be useful, he picks up some gold and says, "This is no use to me." He understands that something has value only if it is usefulRobinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature. It was also the first bcst-scllcr. When he wrote the story, Defoe changed English literature for ever.57.What was Daniel Defoe probably famous as in his life according to the passage?A. A businessman.B. A builder.C. A farmer.D. A novelist.58.Which statement is NOT right about the novel Robinson Crusoe?A.Ifs the first full-length novel in English literature.B.The events and people in the story are all real.C.The story was about a person's adventures on an island.D.Critics at that time didn't like the style of the story.59.Whafs the main idea of the third paragraph in this passage?A. The three ideas written in the novel Robinson Crusoe.B.How Robinson lived on the lonely island.C.The readers' opinions about the character Robinson.D.How we can live on an island alone.60.Why did the author say Robinson Crusoe was the first novel in English literature?A.Because it was a great success.B.Because nobody wrote a story like it before.C.Because it makes the readers think about what is useful to us.D.Because it was the first best-seller then.61.The main purpose of the text is to tell us.A.Daniel Defoe and his first novel in English literatureB.Robinson was a brave man living on a lonely islandC.something has value when it is useful to usD.Defoe changed the English literature by selling his novels答案一、适当形式填空（单句适当形式）1.adaptation2.hesitation3.uncomfortable4.properly5.remarks二、单词拼写（根据中文提示拼写单词）6.troublesome7.extraordinary8.status9.overlooked10.fades三、单词拼写（单句首字母填空）11.mistaken12.homble13.fortune14.robbedpromise四、单项选择16.

课后限时作业(十一)限时/40分钟Ⅰ.单句语法填空(建议用时：7分钟)1．The cooling wind swept in through our bedroom windows, __making__(make) air conditioning unnecessary.2．When __finished__(finish), the paper should be turned in without delay.3．__Inspired__(inspire) by what he said, the girl student decided to work harder.4．He hurried to the hall, __followed__(follow) by two guards.5．__Encouraged__(encourage) by his parents, he still has no confidence in overcoming the difficulties.6．__Exhausted__(exhaust) by the journey, he soon fell asleep.7．The patient got off the bed, __supported__(support) by the nurse.8．It shames me to say it, but I told a lie when __questioned__(question) at the meeting by my boss.9．__Put__(put) into use in April 2016, the hotline was meant for residents reporting water and heating supply breakdowns.10．When __asked__(ask) about her future plans, the girl said that she wanted to be a teacher.Ⅱ.阅读理解(建议用时：7分钟)On Saturday 17 September 2016, you may catch sight of hundreds of apes(猩猩) running around the streets of London.They'll have been filming a new Planet of the Apes movie, you'll probably think. But in fact, when the starter's pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla(大猩猩) clothes through the capital's streets, passing such iconic(图标的) landmarks as The Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.Unusual charity events such as this are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you've been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10－to 12－mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage.It's more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised ￡5 million.But fundraising doesn't have to involve much physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber's song Baby over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song. They needed to raise $1,000 in one week to achieve this.Beyond expectations, they exceeded(超过) the goal within three days. Even teachers chipped in.If you want to join the ranks of gorillas next September, you only have to pay ￡60 toregister. This includes the gorilla suit, which you can keep. If you take part, not only will you have been helping the gorillas and people who depend on their habitat, you'll never have to buy another set of fancy clothes again!语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了慈善活动的新趋势。

Their conversation aroused the interest of Colonel Pickering to whom Higgins told that he could ⑦__________people’s social position after only a few minutes conversation because lower class people ⑧__________themselves with their remarks every time they spoke.3、In George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion,the storyline centers around three main characters:Eliza Doolittle,Professor Henry Higgins,and ColonelPickering.Eliza Doolittle is a flower girl who is under the instruction of Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering to learn proper grammar and phonetics.Eliza can be characterized as a very sensitive and emotional person.She seeks to be treated like a duchess by men.Her personality clashes (冲突) with the personality of Professor Higgins in an extreme way.Professor Higgins is an arrogant (傲慢的),work-obsessed expert in phonetics who views Eliza simply as an experiment.He is a bachelor whohas never found a place for women in his life due to his obsession (痴迷) with language.Colonel Pickering is a gentleman from India who is also an expert in language.He is gentler than Higgins and treats Eliza with respect while maintaining a professional interest in her.These three make up the main action of the play as Eliza learns speech of the upper class from them.She manages to pass herself off as a Hungarian princess at a formal party.This achievement makes Eliza give credence to the efforts of Higgins and Pickering.After experiencing life in the upper class,Eliza settles for a lowerclass life with a man who loves her for who she is and wants to marry her.After some small and unimportant disputes,Eliza and Higgins remain friends later.Other memorable characters include Mrs.Higgins who maintains an authoritative figure over her grown son and Mr.Doolittle who rises from a dustman to a respected speaker in the community.I think that this is a good book because it shows that happiness can be achieved without wealth and fame.I highly recommend it due to its emphasis on grammatical and phonetic correctness.1.Eliza learns speech of the upper class because ________.A.she wants to do an experimentB.she wants to marry a gentlemanC.she has to play a princess at a partyD.she wants to be treated respectfully2.What does the underlined part“give credence to”in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Believe.B.Change.C.Fancy.D.Obtain.3.The passage is probably ________.A.a research paperB.a teaching planC.a book reportD.a diary4.Who treats Eliza Doolittle in a more respectful way?A.Henry Higgins.B.Colonel Pickering.C.Mrs.Higgins.D.Mr.Doolittle.4、 I learnt about the Pygmalion Effect(皮格马利翁效应)when I was 7 years old at Riverdale School in Palmerston North and I copied Melissa Crawford’s answers in a spelling test.Before that I was average at school but after that,because Melissa Crawford was smart,and I got all the right answers,I got put in all the smart kids groups.From then I did really well at school because it was believed by the teachers that I would and I also got grouped with the smart kids.This experience that occurred at my primary school shows just how important the Pygmalion Effect is in terms of being around mentors(导师)that expect that you’re going to do well and also being around people who are smart.The Pygmalion Effect is one principle you want to use if you want to make money fast.Have mentors that expect you will make money fast and as an extra boost hang around,copy and learn from other people who are also making money fast.Yesterday this site had over 5,000 unique visitors and the traffic to it is increasing all the time.A year ago I contacted a group of people who got lots of traffic in their sites and I learnt from them.Truthfully,I don’t know if they expected me to start getting decent traffic to websites but I imagined they did so they might as well have.So there you have it,the Pygmalion Effect.P.S.My grammar and spelling are not that great nowadays but that’s actually completely irrelevant(不相关的)when it comes to getting lots of visitors to your site.1.When did the author learn about the Pygmalion Effect?A.Before he took the spelling test.B.After he cheated in the spelling test.C.When he did badly in exams.D.After he finished primary school.2.The author got grouped with the smart kids because________.A.he was an average pupil at schoolB.he did better than expectedC.Melissa Crawford was smartD.he did better than all the others at school3.What does the underlined word “contacted” mean in the passage?A.lost touch withB.made friends withC.got in touch withD.was concerned about4.From the passage we can infer that________.A.the author was busy meeting visitors every dayB.there was lots of traffic in his cityC.the author opened a website himselfD.the autho r’s grammar was poor at school5、阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Learn Different Kinds of EnglishD. Practise English in Different WaysB篇It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While mostpeople were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometres away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries(食品杂货), saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity(人性) as a whole. And it has influenced(影响) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.50. Why was the bike so important to the couple?A. The man’s job was bike racing.B. It was their only possession(财产).C. It was nice Kona 18 speed.D. They used it for work and daily life.51. We can infer from the text that____________.A. the couple worked 60 hours a week.B. people were busy before Christmas.C. the stranger brought over the bike.D. life was hard for the young family.52. How did people get to know the couple’s problem?A. From radio broadcasts.B. From a newspaper.C. From TV news.D. From a stranger.53. What do the couple learn their experience?A. Strangers are usually of little help.B. One should take care of their bike.C. News reports make people famous.D. An act of kindness can mean a lot.1-5 A BAAC6-10 CAADB11-15 BBCDB16-20 BAADB21-25CCBBD 26—45 DBABC DBADD BCCAA BBCBC46-53 DCBA DDBD。

如果你仔细观察自己所在的城市，或许会在大街上看到汉族传统服饰 —— 汉服。网 络购物平台天猫近期发布的一项报告显示，2018 年售出的汉服超过 200 万件。购买汉服 的人数和 2017 年相比增长了 92%。购买者的平均年龄为 21 岁，其中 19－24 岁的年轻人 约占 52%。
But why has this traditional clothing become trendy among young Chinese people? 但这种传统服饰为何成为年轻人的时尚潮流？ For some of them, it's a costume for relaxation. Dafan, a 24yearold college student, told CGTN that dressing in hanfu is a way for her to escape the troubles of real life. Modern clothing, on the other hand, represents the identity people need to show every day. 对于一些年轻人而言，穿汉服能够放松身心。24 岁的大学生大帆(音译)在接受中国国 际电视台采访时表示，穿汉服于她而言是种逃离现实生活烦恼的方式。换言之，现代服饰 代表了人们每天都需要展示的身份。
