Reading and Vocabulary Development Unit 2 Lesson 1 Why Do We Yawn?Bears yawn. Camels yawn. Most mammals yawn. Why do we yawn? No one really knows the answer.We do know that everyone yawns in the same way. First you open your mouth slowly. Your mouth stays open for about five seconds. Then you quickly close your mouth.We also know that yawning is contagious, or catching. When you see someone yawn, you yawn, too. Many people say that they yawn because they are bored or tired. This might be true. However, we know that people also yawn when they are excited or nervous. Olympic runners , for example, often yawn before a race. Why is that?Some scientists believe that yawning makes you more alert. When you yawn, you breathe more deeply. You also stretch the muscles in your face and neck. Maybe this makes you feel more alert.Scientists don’t spend much time studying yawning. That is probably because yawning doesn’t hurt. It is just something we do .

NO1.---未来的汽车On a sunny day last January, people got together at a parking lot in Las Vegas to see small vehicles that looked more like colorful eggs than ordinary cars. These vehicles were electric, ran on two wheels instead of four and held only two passengers. Thanks to their tiny size, six of the vehicles would fit in a parking spot. If the idea of parking such a small car makes you nervous, don’t worry: these cars can park themselves. And they can return to their owners when controlled by a button on a cellphone.The vehicle is called the EN-V(Electric Networked-Vehicle). It is built by General Motors, or GM, arid it points to what future vehicles might be like. It is designed to be energy-saving, solve environmental problems and help ease traffic jams, parking and safety concerns. The automaker says its next concept car^概念车)will help drivers get whatever they want. According to GM, the company has also designed an electric vehicle named Lean Machine. However, it is a small three-wheeler and this single-seater vehicle looks like a motorcycle. One day, such small, electric vehicles might safely carry people around,especially in crowded cities.Scientists and engineers are finding new ways to make cars safer, smarter and more efficient, oruse less energy. New cars may help you keep track of your health by reminding you to take medicine. If it’s elec tric, your car may send you a message reminding you to recharge it. Cars will talk to other cars, your computer, your phone and your iPa d. They’ll help drivers s ave energy, watch out for other drivers and avoid walkers on the streets.This is the future of vehicles: safer, smarter and more energy-saving. Besides, they might even drive themselves down the highway or through a city. You can sit back and enjoy the ride.1. Why did people get together at a parking lot?A.They wanted to see some colorful eggs.B.They came to see an unusual parking lot.C.They came to watch a kind of new vehicle.D.They were invited to drive some smart vehicles.2. According to Paragraph 3, future cars can do all of the following things EXCEPTA.running both on land and in waterB.helping keep track of your healthC.talking to other cars and your phoneD.saving energy and avoiding passers-by3.

BNO2.—热空气占据更大空间Warm air needs more roomAs its temperature rises, air starts to act a little differently. Find out what happens to a ba1100n(气球)when the air inside it heats up with this fun science experiment for kids.What you will need.•An empty bottle• A balloon• A pot of hot water (not boiling)InstructionsI.Stretch(伸展)the balloon over the mouth of the empty bottle.2.Put the bottle in the pot of hot water. Let it stand for a few minutes and watch what happens.What is happening?As the air inside the balloon heats up, it starts to expand. The molecules(分子)begin to move faster and further apart form each other. This is what makes the ba lloon stretch. There is still the same amount of air inside the balloon and the bottle. It has just expanded as it heats up. Warm air therefore takes up more space than the s ame amount of cold air. It also weighs less than cold air occupying (占据)the same space. You might have seen this principle^ 理)in action if you’ve flown in or watched a hot air balloon1. What don’t you need?A. An empty bottle.B. A balloonC. A pot hot water.D. A cup.2.

In an English book.答案:DABCANO3.一眼睛识别系统Soon computers and other machines will be able to remember you by looking at your eyes! The programme works because everyone’s eyes are different. So in the future you won't have to remember a number when you want to use a machine or take money out of a bank. You'll just have to look at the machine and it will be able to tell who you are. The eye-recognition(眼睛识另ij) programme is tested in shops and banks in the USA, Britain and Italy.Scientists are working on other systems, such as knowing you from the shape of your face or hand or even your smell! And machines can already tell who you are from your voice or your fingerprint (指纹).But eye-recognition will replace other ways of finding out who you are. It is better, because your eyes don’t change as you get older, or get dirty like hands or fingers. And even twins have different eyes, so the programme can be up to 94% correct, depending on how good the technology is. In Britain, it was found that 91% of people said that they liked the idea of eye-recognition.根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

初三阅读理解科普文1.文章题材:最新科技难易度:难建议时间:7 分钟Robots are supposed to run on batteries, right? Well, not all of them.Scientists in England have built a series of small robots that get their energy from deal flies, rotten apples, or sugar. One robot, called Slugbot, was even designed to hunt garden insects for dinner!Well, scientists at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory want to invent robots that can operate for long periods of time in dark, dirty, or dangerous places. Many of those spots, like the seafloor or Antarctica, don’t have electrical sockets (插座). So inventor Chris Melhuish came up with a better idea: build robots that get their energy just like animals do –- by hunting and eating food from their environment.The robots digest their food in a series of stomach—like devices called microbial (微生物) fuel cells that are full of bacterial!The bacteria do the real eating, munching dead flies or other food fed into the fuel cells. As the bacteria eat up the food, they release electrons(电子),Electrons are charged particles(微粒) that flow to form electricity.One robot, called Ecobot II, could run for 12 days on a diet of eight flies! It seems that after an eight—fly dinner, Ecobot II couldn’t get rid of the leftover“waste”. Melhuish says his team is now working on a new and improved robot, called Ecobot III, which will have a better digestion system.Maybe rest rooms in the future will have singns for bous, girls, and robots.

Others think they are a way to help people remember something very important.Another well-known kind of dream is the nightmare(噩梦). The pictures and stories in such dreams make people very afraid and dreamers usually remember them far more clearly than normal dreams. The cause of such dreams may be seeing something terrifying such as a car accident or some deadly snakes. Others think such dreams may be trying to make a person pay attention to something that is dangerous in their life.Daydreams happen during wake-time when we forget where we are or what we are doing and find ourselves in a made-up story or unreal world. We often daydream when we area doing something that is not interesting or exciting . They help us think about our future.Lucid dreams are the most fun.

·Warm-upDo you notice that some animals move faster than others? Have you ever thought about why they can move faster?·Big question to think about while you readHow do you define the word "fast"?Content Vocabulary1. distance n. the amount of space between two places or things 距离2. motor n. the basic unit for measuring length 米3. kilometer n. a unit for measuring distance, equal to 1,000 meters 公里4. athlete n. someone who competes in sports competitions, especially running,jumping, and throwing 运动员5. compare v. to examine and note the similarities or differences of 比较The movements of our bodies help us to go from one place to another. For example, when you go to school, you can walk, run,ride a bike, or ride in a car or a bus. You must cover a certain distance. Distance is the amount of space between two places.Did you know that the distance from one place to another can be measured in meters? But if you need to measure distances that are longer than 1,000 meters, then it is usual to measure them in kilometers.Sometimes we measure the time it takes to travel a certain distance. This is called speed. Speed is measured in hours, minutes, and seconds.When an athlete covers a distance of 100 meters in ten seconds, we know that the athlete can run very fast. It takes an average person around twenty seconds to run 100 meters. The athlete runs the distance much faster than the average person. How fast can you run 100 meters?Which are the fastest animals?Animals move at different speeds. Some animals move faster than others. Compares how fast or slow different animals move.Which athletes are the fastest?Athletes spend many hours in training and practice in different sports. Coaches teach athletes how to improve their speed and strength. As a result, athletes develop strong bodies and muscles.Some athletes move very fast. They take part in races to see who is the fastest at certain sports. The Olympic Games is the largest sports competition in the world. (254 words)·Reflection questions on what you read1. How can we calculate a moving object's speed?2. What units of measurement do people use to measure distance?3. What units of measurement do people use to measure speed?4. Why do athletes have to spend many hours in training and practice in different sports?5. Please name at least 3 Olympics sports where athletes take part in to compete for speed.The locomotive system人体有着复杂的组织结构,正因为这样,我们能够行走、奔跑、跳跃。
下面让我们一起来探索其中的奥妙吧!·Warm-upHow much do you know about your body? Do you know what's happening in your body when you're walking, jumping and running?·Big question to think about while you readWhat exactly is the locomotive system?We have learned how receptors on our sense organs send messages to the brain, which then responds to the signals. The response from the brain can be a movement of the body.Most of the movements of our bodies occur because we want them to happen. These are called voluntary movements. If we want to kick a ball, we have to think about doing it. Our brain receives the message, and immediately our foot kicks the ball.Other movements are called involuntary3 movements. Certain muscles in our bodies work without us having to think about them. For example, the muscles that move food through our digestive system4 are involuntary. They work even while we are sleeping.Bones and musclesBones make up the skeleton and support the body. But bones do not move on their own. They need muscles to move. Muscles move every part of the body, such as the head, fingers, legs, and toes, and even our eyes and tongue.Muscles are made out of many stretchy, elastic cells and fibers. Muscles function like rubber bands that stretch and relax in the body.Muscles work in pairs. One muscle pulls the bone forward, and another muscle pulls the bone back. When one muscle is working (contracting), the other muscle is relaxing. Your muscle pairs work together to move.The place where one bone joins another is called a joint6. Joints allow movement and give the skeleton its ability to bend, twist, and turn.Tissues called ligaments hold bones together at joints. Bones, muscles, and ligaments make up the locomotive system. This system gives the body its form and allows it to move. (274 words)·Reflection questions on what you readl. What's the difference between voluntary and involuntary movements?2. Please give 3 more examples of involuntary movements.3. How do the muscles help you to move?4. What's a joint? Please give an example.5. There are many athletes who suffer from ligament injuries and cannot take part incompetitions anymore. What will happen if there is a broken ligament?The ear and the hearing听觉是仅次于视觉的重要感官通道,它在人的生活中起着重要作用。
