Since its beginning in 1980, the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念) the true feeling of what folk music is all about and that’s the traditional togetherness(友爱) that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. “People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation，” Riedel said. “It’s really easy to relax, and it’s great seeing family and friends have fun together.”These families and friends come from all different kinds of musical tastes. People who take pleasure in Blues are there, so are people who love Bluegrass. This festival does its best to develop everyone’s musical interests.With so many years of experience, the festival has become a well-oiled machine, and does whatever it can to make attendees feel as comfortable as possible. There are free water stations throughout the venue(举办地)for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusabledishes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as V an Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.The Edmonton Folk Music Festival begins on Wednesday, Aug. 4 with Van Morrison playing the special donation fund(基金) concert, and will finish up on Sunday, Aug. 8.35. The Edmonton Folk Music Festival is held mainly to________.A. gather people with different musical tastesB. remind people of the real sense of folk musicC. exhibit the good voices of great talents in folk musicD. collect old stories of folk music36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Riedel has volunteered for the festival for at least 5 years.B. It’s hard for people to appreciate Blues.C. It costs people a little to fill up their cups from water stations.D. People have to pay $2 for a plate of food.37. We can learn from the passage that________.A. people can get tickets easily for the festivalB. the Edmonton Folk Music Festival is well organizedC. driving one’s own car to the festival is highly recommendedD. bikes are available at the festival from Wednesday to Sunday38. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Folk Music of BluesB. One Festival for AllC. Festival for Family GatheringD. Edmonton’s Downtown Park答案课时作业(十一)Ⅰ.1.A考查词义及搭配。

houses stand out：their roofs are made of license plates.They are the creations of Dan Phillips,64，who has had an astonishingly varied life，working as an intelligence officer in the Army，a college dance instructor and an antique dealer.About 12 years ago，Mr.Phillips began his latest career：building houses out of trash(垃圾)．In 1997 Mr.Phillips mortgaged(抵押)his house to start his construction company Phoenix Commotion.“Look at kids playing with blocks，”he said.“I think it’s in everyone’s DNA to want to be a builder.”Moreover，he said，he was disturbed by the irony(嘲讽)of landfills choked with building materials and yet a lack of affordable housing.To him，almost anything thrown away is potential building material.Standing in one of his houses and pointing to a colorful，zigzagpatterned ceiling he made out of thousands of picture frame corners，Mr.Phillips said，“A shop was getting rid of old samples，and I was there waiting.”So far，he has built 14 homes in Huntsville，which is his hometown.Mr.Phillips said 80 percent of the materials were saved from other construction projects，gotout of trash piles or just picked up from the side of the road.“You can’t go against the laws of physics or building codes，”he said，“but beyond that，the possibilities are endless.”Mr.Phillips makes use of something thrown away by other builders.He also makes use of mismatched bricks，pieces of broken pottery，mirrors，bottles，old DVDs and even bones from nearby cattle yards.Phoenix Commotion homes meet local building codes and Mr.Phillips frequently consults with professional engineers，electricians and plumbers(水管工人)to make sure his designs and layouts are sound.“I’ve been recycling all my life，but it never occurred to me to recycle a door，”said his neighbor.“Dan has changed the way we do things around here.”Mr.Phillips said his biggest reward was giving lessfortunate people the opportunity to own a home and watching them develop a sense of satisfaction and selfdetermination in the course of building it.1．Which of the following is TRUE about Dan Phillips’ company?A．He sold his house for money to start it.B．It has been building houses out of trash.C．All its materials come from other construction projects.D．It consists of lessfortunate people.2．Which of the following is not the reason why Dan Phillips became a builder?A．He believes everyone has a gift for building.B．He has rich architecture experience.C．Building materials are easy to find.D．He shows pity for those who can’t afford a home.3．To make a sound house，Dan Phillips______.A．avoids using traditional building materialsB．often argues with his workersC．often visits some building expertsD．employs some experts to design the houses4．What effect does Dan Phillips have on others?A．He has inspired more people to build cheap houses.B．He has changed people’s opinion of recycling.C．He has solved the problem of housing.D．He has helped 14 lessfortunate people have their homes.参考答案与解析课时作业(十三)Unit 7 A卷一、单项填空1．解析：由句意可知，应是“安排某人做某事”，故用arrange for sb.to do sth.结构。

environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important of course.However，being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that_overconsumption in the greenest way as possible as we can，but it would be far better if we did not bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK，for example，is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt，it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouseeffect.Recycling helps，but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem，too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However，few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue，encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags，for example.But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products，which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle，we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture，but we have a mountain to climb.1．What does the underlined phrase“that overconsumption”refer to?A．Using too much packaging.B．Recycling too many wastes.C．Making more products than necessary.D．Having more material than it is needed.2．The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show______.A．the tendency of cutting household wasteB．the increase of packaging recyclingC．the rapid growth of supermarketsD．the fact of packaging overuse3．According to the text，recycling______.A．helps control the greenhouse effectB．means burning packaging for energyC．is the solution to gas shortageD．leads to a waste of land4．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A．Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B．Supermarkets care more about packaging.C．It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D．Other products are better packaged than food.参考答案与解析课时作业(一)Unit

experiment can come from an unusual place.After watching a YouTube video of a dancing bird named Snowball，a scientist in California decided to study the ability of animals to keep the beat.Bird lovers have long claimed that their pets have rhythm，and there are many videos of dancing birds online.Until now，scientists have suspected that humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music.Thanks to Snowball，that_scientific_opinion is changing.Snowball is a cockatoo，a kind of parrot，and his favorite song is“Everybody”by the Backstreet Boys.When he hears the song，he moves his feet and rocks his body with the tempo，or pace of the music，as though he is the only bird member of the boy band.Aniruddh Patel is a neuroscientist，or a scientist who studies how the brain and the nervous system contribute to learning，seeing and other mental abilities.He works at the Neurosciences Institute in San Diego.After seeing Snowball’s dance online，Patel visited the cockatoo at the bird rescue facility he’s called homefor two years.The scientist played“Everybody”for Snowball and also played versions of the song that were sped up or slowed down.Sometimes，Snowball danced too fast or too slowly.Often，when there was a change in tempo，Snowball adjusted his dancing to match the rhythm.In other experiments，scientists have observed the same abilities in preschool children.Patel isn't the only scientist who has studied Snowball's moves.Adena Schachner，who studies psychology at Harvard University，also wanted to know more about the dancing bird.Schachner's team played different musical pieces for Snowball and a parrot named Alex，as well as eight human volunteers.The scientists observed that the birds and the humans kept time to the music with about the same accuracy.Schachner and her team watched thousands of YouTube videos of different animals moving to music.Not all the animals could dance，however.From watching the videos，the scientists observed that only animals that imitate sounds，including 14 parrot species and Asian elephants，accurately moved in time to music.1．The underlined words“that scientific opinion”in the third paragraph refer to the theory that ______.A．birds like Snowball have the ability to keep the beatB．humans are the only animals that can accurately keep rhythm with music C．the brain and the nervous system contribute to some mental abilitiesD．bird pets can have their special rhythm under human’s instruction2．From the fourth paragraph we may know that ______.A．Patel is the only scientist who has studied Snowball’s movesB．Snowball is able to adjust his dancing to match the rhythmC．Snowball cannot dance to the versions of the song EverybodyD．it is the brain and the nervous system that control the mental abilities 3．The idea of studying animals’ability to keep the beat comes from ______.A．bird lovers' discoveryB．humans' musical senseC．the same abilities in childrenD．videos of dancing birds4．According to the scientists，Snowball's ability to dance to music is probably related to the fact that ______.A．it is the only bird member of the Backstreet Boys bandB．it has the ability to imitate soundsC．it is a kind of dancing parrotD．it has the same abilities as preschool children参考答案与解析课时作业(九)Unit 5A卷一、单项填空1．解析：for the time being暂时。

Unit 11 The Media课时练(一) 阅读理解提速练——练速度(限时：35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·甘肃省第一次高考诊断试卷)In China, there are usually two reasons why people receive messages from friends and relatives from whom they haven't heard for a while. The first is about New Year greetings, which are always welcome. The second reason is often unpleasant, however; people are increasingly contacting longlost friends, or even casual acquaintances, and urging them to cast online votes for their children or grandchildren in competitions.The practice, which has been growing rapidly, has now reached the point where people are becoming tired and may even feel annoyed.The results of a recent survey conducted by the Jinhua Evening News in East China's Zhejiang Province show that 94 percent of 384 interviewees were once asked by friends or relatives to cast votes online for their children. The contests range from the “cutest baby” to dancing competitions, but in many cases the people receiving the messages haven't heard from the sender for a long time and have never met the child involved.Although the competitions may appear to be harmless fun, some education professionals are concerned that they could have a negative effect on children.Tang Sulan, a member of the CPPCC's National Committee (全国政协委员会), proposed a ban on online competitions featuring children to prevent future psychological issues. She was also concerned that public disclosure of a child's personal information and publication of photos cause a potential risk to the child's safety.Li Hong yan, the mother of an 11yearold girl and an 18monthold boy in Beijing, said she has never urged others to vote for her children. Although on the surface the children are competing among themselves via their parents' social networks, the competitions ar e also about parents seeking a “sense of victory” for themselves, she said. “It feels as though parents are using their babies as tools to win glory for themselves, rather than truly respecting their kids' dignity and nature.” However, despite her dislike of the contests, she has twice voted for the babies of close friends because “it would be embarrassing to say no”．【语篇解读】本文介绍了最近社会上常见的一种现象，有些家长为了给孩子在网上拉票，可谓不择手段，甚至要求不常联系的朋友和不熟悉的朋友投票。

everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.One day，one scientist came to his boss and told him，“Sir，I’ve promised to take my children to the exhibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5：30 p．m..”His boss replied，“OK.You’re permitted to leave the office early today.”The scientist started working.He continued his work after lunch.As usual，he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he wasclose to completion.The time was 8：30 p．m..Suddenly he remembered his promise to the children.He looked for his boss but he was not there.Having told him in the morning himself，he closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself，he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children.He reached home.The children were not there.His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The situation was explosive；any talk_would_boomerang_on_him.His wife asked him，“Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry？”The man replied，“If you would like to have coffee，I will have too，but what about the children？”His wife replied，“You don’t know? Your boss came here at 5：15 p．m.and has taken them to the exhibition.”What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5：00 p．m..He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work，but he’s promised to take his children to the exhibition.So he took the lead in taking them there.The boss does not have to do it every time.But once it’s done，loyalty is established.That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge.By the way，can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other than the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program，Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam，former president of India.1．The scientist asked for an early leave because______.A．he felt increasingly desperate about his workB．he meant to accompany his wife at dinnerC．the task at hand was close to completionD．he’d promised to take his kids to a show2．The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was______.A．dissatisfied with his coming home lateB．ready to serve dinner for himC．grateful to his kindhearted bossD．delighted to see him back home3．The boss took the children to the exhibition______.A．when it was too late for the scientist to do soB．because the scientist was absorbed in his workC．because he also wanted to see what was on showD．when the man’s wife asked him to do so4．All the scientists stayed loyal to their boss______.A．out of gratefulness for his thoughtfulnessB．because he had power over themC．to learn how to live under pressureD．every time he took the children to the show参考答案与解析课时作业(二十一)Unit 11 A卷一、单项填空1．解析：句意：脚步声表明他回来了；我们要不要出去接他。
