单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解ATo us it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains, but actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against the rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun!Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese in the 11th century BC.We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor. In the Far East in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by those in high office.In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was commonly used in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans.During the Middle Ages, the use of umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late 16th century. And again it was considered as a symbol of power. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France and later in England.By the 18th century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe.Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It wasn't until the twentieth century that women's umbrellas began to be made, in a whole variety of colors.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 3 Computers单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·北京高考)Hollywood's theory that machines with evil (邪恶的) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence (AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well­known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics (控制论), put it this way:“If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere (干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in­born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work:we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a sourc e of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12,1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron­induced (中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.篇章导读:本文是一篇议论文。

单元加餐练Ⅰ.阅读理解AMandara seemed to know something big was about to happen. So she let out a yell, caught hold of her 2-year-old daughter Kibibi and climbed up into a tree. She lives at the National Zoo in Washington DC.And on Tuesday, August 23rd, witnesses said she seemed to sense the big earthquake that shook much of the East Coast before any humans knew what was going on. And she's not the only one. In the moments before the quake, an orangutan (猩猩) let out a loud call and then climbed to the top of her shelter.“It's very different from their normal call,” said Brandie Smith, the zookeeper. “The lemurs (monkey-like animals of Madagascar) will sound an alarm if they see or hear something highly unusual.”But you can't see or hear an earthquake 15 minutes before it happens, can you? Maybe you can—if you're an animal. “Animals can hear above and below our range of hearing,”said Brandie Smith. “That's part of their special abilities. They're more sensitive to the environment, which is how they survive.”Primates weren't the only animals that seemed to sense the quake before it happened. One of the elephants made a warning sound. And a huge lizard (蜥蜴) ran quickly for cover. The flamingoes (a kind of birds) gathered before the quake and stayed together until the shaking stopped.So what kind of vibrations (震动) were the animals picking up in the moments before the quake? Scientist Susan Hough said earthquakes produce two types of waves—a weak “P” wave and then a much stronger “S” wave. The “P” stands for “primary”. And the “S” stands for “secondary”. She thinks the “P” wave might be what sets the animals off.Not all the animals behaved unusually before the quake. Forexample, Smith said the zoo's giant pandas didn't jump up until the shaking actually began. But many of the other animals seemed to know something was coming before it happened. “I'm not surprised at all,”Smith said.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

我们担心萨姆会不高兴,但我们决定带一只小猫去。

我们选了一只小的、灰色的、顽皮的猫。

她四处追逐想象中的老鼠和松鼠,从一张桌子跳到另一张椅子上,所以我们把她命名为闪电。

6年,萨姆和闪电并不接近。

闪电开始了萨姆。

他们一起睡觉,一起吃饭,一起玩耍。

当我把其中一个带出房子时,我们回来时,另一个总是在门边。

这就是他们生活了多年的生活。

然后,没有任何痛苦,山姆突然死于心脏衰弱。

这一次,闪电没有山姆可以问候,也没有办法解释为什么她再也见不到她的朋友了。

在接下来的日子里,“闪电”似乎心碎了。

她无法用语言告诉我她是谁,但每当有人打开前门,我都能看到她眼中的痛苦和悲伤。

几个星期过去了,猫的悲伤似乎减轻了。

我想看看沙发旁边的地板,我们有一个雕塑复制品。

Unit 2 Healthy eating李仕才一、阅读理解AA new study has found the amount of antibiotics (抗生素) given to farm animals is expected to increase by two­thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. How ever, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic­resistant infections (感染). Such infections are already a major public health concern in the United States.The World Health Organization(WHO) notes when people stop living in poverty(贫困), the first thing they want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 years ago.To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in crowded environments and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in farm animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. Each year in the United States, at least two million people get antibiotic­resistant infections and at least 23,000 die from these infections.Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.【文章大意】本文主要围绕在农场动物身上使用抗生素的负面影响展开。

Ⅱ.阅读理解AThe Olympic flameThe Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a flame burned at the altar (祭坛) of Zeus (宙斯) throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam (阿姆斯特丹) Games, and again burned in 1932.Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted (采纳) and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected (反射) off a carved (雕刻) mirror.Olympic motto“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swift er, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris. Dideon was the headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand School, where the Latin words were carved in the stone above the main entrance.Olympic oath“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding (遵守) by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory (荣誉) of sport and the honor of our teams.”Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athlete's oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。
