Unit 4 Astronomy: the science of the starsI. 阅读理解AAn ambitious project to establish a human colony on Mars has attracted applications from tens of thousands of would-be astronauts, just two weeks after applications opened.The mission, a private venture by the Dutch non-profit organization, Mars One, aims to send a crew to the Red Planet in 2022 — and, due to the physiological change in the human body after a sta y on Mars, there’d be no coming back. That hasn’t deterred people, though, so far, over 200,000 people have applied to become one of Mars’ first immigrants.＂This is turning out to be the most desired job in history,＂says Bas Lansdorp, co-founder of Mars One.Day-to-day life on Mars will be no picnic. The organization says that the daily routine on the planet would involve construction work on the colony (installing greenhouses,for example), maintenance of the settlement’s systems and research into Mars’ cl imate and geological history —all in an inhospitable environment with unbreathable air and an average temperature in the planet’s mid-latitudes of around －58 ℉.But Mars One says it is not looking for applicants with specific skills, such as a science degree, which might be useful during an interplanetary posting. Instead, they are looking for people who ＂have a deep sense of purpose, willingness to build and maintain healthy relationships, the capacity for self-reflection and ability to trust.＂They also want volunteers who are ＂resilient, adaptable, curious, creative and resourceful.＂Candidates will receive a minimum of eight years training before leaving Earth, the company says.In addition to people skills, successful applicants must be good fundraisers too: Mars One plans to raise much of the mission’s $6 billion estimated cost through a reality TV show following the applicants as they undergo preparations for the one-way trip to Mars.1. According to the passage,we can’t k now about Mars that _______.A. there is no human beings living on it nowB. there is no air on itC. the mid-latitudes’ average temperature is lower than that on the earthD. it will lead to physiological change for human beings living on it2. The applicants will ________ on Mars.A. live in coldB. get a desired jobC. do some researchD. get a large amount of money3. The applicants are not necessary to _______.A. have a science degreeB. have people skillsC. be good fundraisersD. have a deep sense of purpose4. The underlined word ＂deterred＂in Paragraph 2 means _______.A. preventedB. scaredC. explained toD. informedB(2016·天津) When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood, he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. ＂Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence (能力) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,＂said George Vaillant, the psychologist (心理学家) who made the discovery. ＂And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.＂Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31 and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to havewarm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. Working— at any age — is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence — the underpinnings (基础) of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn’t everything. As Tolstoy once said, ＂One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.＂5. What do we know about John?A. He enjoyed his career and marriage.B. He had few childhood playmates.C. He received little love from his family.D. He was envied by others in his childhood.6. Vaillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as ________.A. a description of personal values and social valuesB. an analysis of how work was related to competenceC. an example for parents’ expectations of their childrenD. an explanation why some boys grew into happy men7. Vaillant’s team obtained their findings by _______.A. recording the boys’ effort in schoolB. evaluating the men’s mental healthC. comparing different sets of scoresD. measuring the men’s problem solving ability8. What does the underlined word ＂sharp＂probably mean in Paragraph 4?A. Quick to react.B. Having a thin edge.C. Clear and definite.D. sudden and rapid.9. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Competent adults know more about love than work.B. Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C. Love brings more joy to people than work does.D. Independence is the key to one’s success.II.语法填空阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才一、阅读理解。
The Internet plays a big part in human life. We use it for work and entertainment. We can find new recipes on the Internet or advice on staying healthy. We can even use it to learn a new language. We use the Internet to connect with family and friends and stay in touch with issues we care about.The list goes on and on.As far as the Internet being a part of our lives—well, that train has left the station. That expression means there is no going back. If you prefer boating, you can say that ship has sailed.So, there may be no going back to an Internet-free life. But can using the Internet too much be bad for our health?It might be, say researchers.Study results show that teens who spend at least 14 hours a week online were more likely to have high blood pressure.High blood pressure makes your heart and blood vessels work too hard. Over time, this extra strain increases your risk of a heart attack or stroke.High blood pressure can also cause heart and kidney disease. It is also closely linked to some forms of dementia, a brain disease. Dementia is marked by memory disorders, personality changes, and a reduced ability to reason.Let’s introduce something about the study of it.The Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan did the study. It involved 335 young people, from 14 to 17 years old. One hundred thirty-four of the teens were described as “heavy Internet users”. Researchers found that out of these 134 teens, 26 had high blood pressure.The researchers say the study is the first to connect heavy web use and high blood pressure. Other research has connected that heavy Internet use with health problems including anxiety, depression and obesity.The lead researcher of the study is Andrea Cassidy-Bushrow. In a statement she said, “Using the Internet is part of our daily life but it shouldn’t consume us. ”For the purpose of the study, she explains, teens considered heavy Internet users were online on “average 25 hours a week. ”Ms Cassidy-Bushrow adds that it is important for teens to take “regular breaks from their computers or smartphones” and to do some “kind of physical activity. ”She also suggests that parents limit their children’s use of the Internet to two hours a day, five days a week.【文章大意】互联网如此有用并且融入我们的生活, 但过度使用它, 会导致多种健康问题。

Three lucky winners will win a master class with two top Telegraphtravel writers before travelling the world with Saga on one of three holidays of great comfort and pleasure. To enter, all you need to do is tell us something mysterious and wonderful about the world of travel—a favorite memory, a humorous tale, an unforgettable occasion or a sight worth writing about.What we are looking forYou must be able to read not only those signs that help you find your way around but the ones that tell you how the locals tick. You must, in the words of Paul Theroux, an American travel writer, “descibe exactly what you see and give it life with your imgaination”.In this competition, you can do that in anything from 150 words to 500, but they should be your words, and fresh ones. We do expect you not to hide the truth or the facts about your experience. Beyond that, you can make the most of the freedom travel writing gives you.You’ll be editor as well as writer, so ensure those eyes are equally fresh when you check and recheck what you’ve written. We will make allowances for the occasional mistake, such as you have “fell” into a river. But we won’t put up with mistakes every few lines.Terms ＆ conditionsCompetitors must be aged 50 years or older.The judging process is divided into two stages: entries will be hosted on the website for one month. The top 20 articles will then be selected by public vote. The top three winners will be chosen by three judges.The closing date for entries is August 15.1.What does the prize for winners include?A. a chance to learn from excellent writers.B. the publication of their works.C. three wonderful holidays.D.an opportunity to work in the Telegraph.2.Who will select the final winners?A. the public.B. Paul TherouxC. two top Telegraph travel writersD. three chosen judges.3.What type of writing is this text ?A. An essayB.A travel guideC.A writing guideD. An announcementⅡ.七选五阅读Violent Games:Fun or Harmful?If you play lots of video games,you’ve probably blown a zombie(僵尸) into tiny bits. 1 Many adults worry that playing such games could make children act violently in real life.Is that true?The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) says that violence in any kind of media—from TV to music to video games—presents a risk to kids’ health.A number of studies have shown a link between video games and aggression,including one published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014,which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviours. 2But not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out.Another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸发) in a game. 3 People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.And here’s an even stranger fact:When violent video games are released,people carry out fewer violent crimes!Why? 4 Steve Levitt,coauthor of the book Freakonomics,said,“If you can make video games fun enough,then kids will stop doing ever ything else.They’ll stop watching TV,and they’ll stop going out and creating violent disorder on the street.”What do you think? 5A.One possible explanation:potential criminals are at home playing the new game.B.Then,before playing the game,some peopl e received training and others didn’t.C.More than 3,000 kids answered survey questions during a two-year period.D.For example,thinking it’s OK to hit someone you don’t like.E.Have you ever played any violent video games?F.Do violent video games cause bad behaviour?G.Some games even pile up dead bodies.Ⅲ.短文改错(2016·南昌二模)Everyone of us are thinking about the future.I have decided to become a middle school teacher.Does it sound surprised?I have had this dream when I was a child.I love children.I don’t think to deal with them all years round is just wasting time.On the contrary,to me it means happiness.Like we all can see,teachers are badly needed in our country,and not many of us want to become teachers.One of the main reasons of this is teachers work too hard but get too little.In spite of that,I’m determining to devote all my life into the cause of education.考点规范练(必修3 Unit 4)【短文语法填空】1.If2.owns3.a4.what5.easier6.in 7．appealing 8.number 9.it 10.being cheatedⅠ.A【解题导语】本文为说明文。

Unit 4 Astronomythe science of the starsⅠ.阅读理解Environmentalists said our planet was doomed to die. Now one man says they are wrong.“Everyone knows the planet is in bad shape,” thundered a magazine article last year. Species are being driven to die out at record rates, and the rivers are so poisonous that fish are floating on the surface, dead.But there’s a growing belief that what everyone takes for granted is wrong: things are actually getting better. A new book is about to overturn our most basic assumptions about the world’s environment. Rivers, seas, rain and the atmosphere are all getting cleaner. The total amount of forests in the world is not declining. The Skeptical Environmentalist by Bjorn Lomborg, professor of statistics at the University of Aarhus in Denmark, is an attack on the misleading claims of environmental groups, and the “bad news” culture that makes people believe everything is getting worse.Now the attacks are increasingly coining from left-wing environmentalists such as Lomborg, a former member of Greenpeace. The accusation is that, although the environment is improving, green groups——with profits of hundreds of millions of pounds a year——are using scare tactics(谋略) to gain donations. Lomborg’s book doesn’t deny global warming——probably the biggest environmental threat——but destroys almost every other environmental claim with many official statistics.The Worldwatch Institute claims that “deforestation has been accelerating over the last 30 years”. But Lomborg says that is si mply rubbish. Since the dawn of agriculture the world has lost about 20 percent of its forest cover, but in recent decades the forest area’s depleting has come to a stop. According to UN figures, the area of forests has remained almost stead y, at about 30 percent of total land area, since the 1940s. Forests in countries such as the US, the UK and Canada have actually been expanding over the past 40 years. Despite all the warnings the Amazon rainforest has only shrunk（缩小）by about 15 percent.Nor are all our species dying out. Some campaigners claim that 50 percent of all species will have died out within 50 years. But other studies show only 0.08 percent of species are dying out each year. Conservation efforts have been successful. Whales are no longer threatened and the bald eagle is off the endangered list.Environmental groups claim that many of the improvements are the results of the success of their campaigns. Stephen Tindale, director of Greenpeace UK, said, “There are important examples, such as acid rain and ozone, where things aren’t as bad as predicted, and that’s because behavior has changed.”1.In his book, The Skeptical Environmentalist, what is Lomborg’s main argument? A．Our planet is in bad shape.B．The world’s environment is improving.C．The total amount of forests in the world is not declining.D．Conservation efforts have been successful.2.What is Lomborg’s main accusation of environmentalists?A．They scared people into making donations.B．They overturned our basic assumptions about the world’s environment. C．They changed their behavior toward the environment.D．They only told people bad news about the environment.3.The underlined word “depleting” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to “_____”.A．Reducing B．limitingC．Expanding D．accelerating4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The total area of forests in the world has increased significantly.B．The effects of global warming are not as bad as first expected.C．It appears that the bald eagle will now survive.D．In the last 50 years the number of whales has increased.Putting together lunches that your children will enjoy can seem like a difficult task, as you struggle to meet the tastes of your kids with all of the food in the world. There are some tips for you to complete this and give your kids a healthy treat at the same time.5 Have your kids select their own lunchboxes or lunch bags. This will let them express their personal style and will allow them to make a choice. They can give the presentation of their lunch a personal touch that will make it more attractive. Most older kids prefer plain brown bags.6Buy a frozen ice pack or freeze the juice boxes you plan to include. 7 In this way, he or she doesn’t end up with soggy sandwiches and other lunch problems. Containers are likely to “sweat”a little when they thaw, so wrap them up well to avoid any sogginess soaking through.Try to include a good combination of your child’s favorite snacks and healthy choices. If you include a bland sandwich and a pile of carrot sticks, your child may end up putting the lunch on the trading block. But if you pack lunches with delicious treats and healthy choices, kids are more apt to eat everything in the bag and look forward to lunch the next day.8 Packing school lunches is often a task that moms and dads may fear, but it doesn’t have to end up that way. 9A.Like all things in life, packing school lunches is really all about balance.B.However, younger kids will jump at the chance to pick a fun lunch bag.C.One of the first things you need to do is to make sure that your kids have the right containers for lunch.D.You can consult it with your children ahead of time.E.You can pack a school lunch that is both exciting and healthy, just by being a little creative.F.The frozen juice will look inviting and make your child have a good appetite.G.This will help refrigerate everything in your child’s lunch.Ⅱ.完形填空One day I pulled up to my apartment building and noticed there was a father and daughter 1 some things from a moving truck. Normally I’m shy away from contact with 2 . That particular day， though， something was in me； I can’t explain 3 ， but I felt like I should just help these people， even 4 something as seemingly unimportant as unloading a truck.

He suggests that the most important development of the Internet will be in creating ways of allowing people to check the correctness of information by providing original sources.Sir Tim admits that this is an important challenge.It's interesting to note that Wikipedia(维基百科)has had to take steps to prevent false information from being added to the biographies of living people.It's easy for anybody to edit the open source.However，some people have pointed out that it has been used to spread false materials.In seeking to raise standards，Wikipedia has sought to stop the false materials.

Unit 4 Astronomy the science of the stars李仕才一、阅读理解。
Life can be so wonderful, full of adventure and joy. It can also be full of challenges, setbacks(挫折) and heartbreaks. Whatever our circumstances, we generally still have dreams, hopes and desires that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones. Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem, because when we go to change the way we do things, up come the old patterns and pitfalls(陷阱) that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.This tension between what we feel we can have and what we’re seemingly able to have is the niggling(烦人的)suffering, the anxiety we feel. This is where we usually think it’s easier to just give up. But we’re never meant to let go of part of us that knows we can have more. The intelligence behind that knowing is us — the real us. It’s the part that believes in the life and its possibilities. If you drop that, you begin to feel a little ＂dead＂ inside because you’re dropping ＂you＂.So, if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck，how do we break these patterns?Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time. This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today’s challenges.While, deep down, we know we can do it, our mind — or the minds of those close to us — usually says we can’t. That isn’t a reason to stop, it’s just the mind, that little man or woman on your shoulder, trying to talk you out of something again. It has done it many times before. It’s all about starting simple and doing it now.Decide and act before overthinking. When you do this you may feel a little, or large, release from the jail of your mind and you’ll be on your way.1. It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we should ________.A. slow down and live a simple lifeB. be careful when we choose to changeC. stick to our dreams under any circumstancesD. be content with what we already have2. What is the key to breaking the old patterns?A. To focus on every detail.B. To decide and take immediate action.C. To listen to those close to us.D. To think twice before we act.3. Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?A. Escape from your punishment.B. Realization of your dreams.C. Freedom from your tension.D. Reduction of your expectations.4. What does the author intend to tell us?A. It’s easier than we think to get what we want.B. It’s important to learn to accept sufferings in life.C. It’s impractical to change our way of thinking.D. It’s harder than we expect to follow a new course.【文章大意】本文是一篇议论文。
