Steven Williams，an American father of 14-year-old Peter who has autism(自闭症)，searched on the Internet to find a specific kind of little blue cup for his son.
When Peter was two，Steven gave him a little blue cup that was made in China and ever since the cup has become one of the most important things in Peter’s life. Steven never thought that the little cup would cause such a big problem. Peter became dependent on this cup because ever since he received the gift he would only drink water from the exact type of little blue cup. Over 12 years，Peter refused to drink water without the cup. Steven was worried about this because their current cup could break soon and he needed to find a replacement for his son to drink with. The problem was that the cup was no longer being produced.
Steven tried to take Peter to a doctor to solve the cup problem，but it was of no use. So Steven decided to seek help from the public on Twitter. He got a lot of responses and the enthusiasm people formal lover the world showed gave him confidence and hope. Many strangers found their identical cup and offered to send them to Peter. Though Steven received a lot of help，he still was concerned. All the cup she received would eventually break. As time passed，it would be even harder to find the same cups.
The situation took a surprising turn when the baby products company Tommee Tippee UK got in touch with Steven.

Putting more green space around an elementary school may help students develop some mental abilities，a study suggests.
Researchers tested students repeatedly over the course of a year on attentiveness(专注) and working memory，which is the ability to keep something in mind temporarily for performing a task. The study tracked more than 2,000 students in 36 primary schools in Barcelona，Spain. The pupils were in the second to fourth grade when the study began. Overall，students whose schools were surrounded by more green space improved more than pupils from schools with less green space.
“Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive(认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas，”one author，Mark Nieuwenhuijsen of the Center for Research in Environmental Epidemiology in Barcelona，said in an email.“Existing urban schools should think about replacing
concrete or other hard surfaces with green space，and even a few trees may help，”he suggested.
The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the school’s surrounding property. Their analysis indicated that differences in socio-economic factors between schools did not account for the study outcome.
Sally Augustin，a psychologist in LaGrange Park，Illinois，who used research on how people react to their surroundings to consult on design of buildings，products and services，said the results make sense to her. Augustin，who did not participate in the new study，said the results fit with previous findings that views of nature help children and adults lower stress and perform menta ltasks better.
9．What do we know about the findings of the study?
A．Attentiveness is the most important quality for students.
B．A good memory enables students to perform a task better.
C．More green space may help the mental development of students.
D．Schools surrounded by more green space are favored by parents.
答案 C
解析细节理解题。第一段就指出绿化环境好的小学能帮助孩子们提高某些心理活动能力，下文一直在围绕这一话题展开。故选C。
10．According to Mark Nieuwenhuijsen，policy makers should________.
A．reduce the noise near the school
B．reduce air pollution from vehicles
C．provide more green space for kids
D．encourage kids to play more sports
答案 C
解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Policy makers should know that more green space around the school is better for cognitive(认知的) development and that they should make sure that kids can see and play in green areas”可知，Mark Nieuwenhuijsen认为决策者们应该给孩子们提供更多的绿化空间。故选C。
11．How are the schools classified by the researchers?
A．By green space. B．By test scores.
C．By size. D．By position.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The researchers used satellite images to group schools according to how much green space appeared on the school ground and within about 55 yards of the school’s surrounding property.”可知，研究者们根据学校绿化的比例将学校进行了分组。故选A。
2．Why is Augustin mentioned in the passage?
A．To introduce another interesting study.
B．To make the findings of the study more convincing.
C．To present new evidence for the study.
D．To show a different viewpoint.
答案 B
解析推理判断题。文章最后提到了心理学专家Augustin，她虽然没有参加这项研究，但是认为这次研究结果与以前自然景色能帮助孩子和成人减轻压力、更好地完成心理任务的观点是相符的。由此来证明这次研究发现是可信的。故选B。
D
InUK，DarkIsFunny
British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said that the British are the only people who like to be told how bad things are. This is definitely(绝对地) true of British comedy. Most people think humor is about happy things，but for the British，the opposite is true. We love to use our cruel sense of humor to complain and be negative.
British comedy，for example，draws a fine line between comedy and tragedy(悲剧)．The Office is a British TV show from the early 2000s，famous for its dry British humor. The main character，David Brent，is a foolish man，and the show’s comedy comes from his delusions. For example，he often tells himself that he is“loved by everyone”，but the viewer can see that
everyone hates him.
The tradition of stupid characters who the audience laughs at goes back along time in Britain. In the Shakespeare’s play T w elfth Night，the character Malvolio is an old man who people play tricks on. The audience will laugh away，although the reality is that this man is a truly tragic individual.
In fact，this side of British humor is reflected in British friendships as well. At university，my friends and I would always laugh at one another. I had an American friend who actually found this sarcasm(挖苦) quite upsetting. She didn’t realize that in Britain，the better friends you are with someone，the more you laugh at them.
This approach—laughing at everything may sound rather depressing. But our strange humor also played a big part in British history. In World War Ⅱ，along with a stiff upperlip(坚定沉着)，the British got through it by laughing. What else was there to do?
There is a saying in English：“Laugh and the world laughs with you；cry and you cry alone.”If you are ever on the receiving end of British sarcasm，you may feel like crying，but it’s best to just laugh it off!
语篇解读本文介绍了英国喜剧与众不同的特点。
13．British comedy is different from other types in that_________.
A．it often laughs at human nature
B．it is often about bad things in life
C．it often makes you feel depressed
D．it is often surprising
答案 B
解析细节理解题。由第一段中的“Mostpeoplethinkhumorisabouthappythings，butfortheBritish，theoppositeistrue.”可知B项正确。
34．WhyisShakespeare’splay T w elfthNight mentionedinthearticle? A．ToshowoneofthebestexamplesofBritishcomedy.
B．Toshowhowit’snoteasytomakepeopleacceptBritishcomedies. C．ToexplainhowShakespeare’scomedyisdifferentfromothers’．D．ToproveBritainhasalongtraditionofmockingstupidcharacters.
答案 D
解析推理判断题。第三段第一句“The tradition of stupid characters who the audience laughs at goes back a long time in Britain.”便提出这样一个观点，然后举了Twelfth Night这个例子，
举此例子便是为了证明这个观点，故选D。
15．How does the author advise people to react to British humor?
A．Stop taking it seriously.
B．Learn from it.
C．Forget about upsetting things.
D．Be careful not to make stupid mistakes.
答案 A
解析细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“it’s best to just laugh it off”可知，作者建议人们一笑置之。

But he became inspired when he tho ught about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly dise ase of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousand s of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted t o face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never b e controlled until its cause was found. He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera ki lled people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person die d. John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed eviden ce. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enqu iry. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gat her information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had liv ed. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the d eaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 a nd 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame. Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. H e immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle f rom the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed d own. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deat hs that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away f rom Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it deliver ed to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drin king the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with ce rtainty that polluted water carried the virus.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national

新人教版高中英语课文译文 必修三 第一单元世界各地的节日 Reading 节日和庆典 自古以来，世界各地就有各种各样的节日和庆典。最古老的节日总是庆祝严寒的结束、春季的种植和秋天的收割。有时，在猎人捕获猎物后，也举行庆祝活动。在那个时代，如果食物难以找到，特别是在寒冷的冬月，人们就会挨饿。现在的节日有很多由来，一些是宗教上的，一些是季节性的，一些是纪念特殊的人和事件的。 亡灵节 有些节日，是为了纪念死者，或使祖先得到满足，因为祖先们有可能回到世上（给人们）提供帮助，也有可能带来危害。在日本的盂兰盆节，人们要扫墓、烧香，以缅怀祖先。他们还点起灯笼，奏响乐曲，因为他们认为这样做可以把祖先引回到世上。在墨西哥，亡灵节是在11月初。在这个重要的节庆日子里，人们会吃制成颅骨形状的食物和装点有“骨头”的蛋糕。他们向亡者祭献食物、鲜花和礼品。西方节日万圣节也源自人们古老的信念，认为亡者的灵魂会返回人间。万圣节如今成了孩子们的节日，这天他们可以乔装打扮上邻居家要糖吃。如果邻居什么糖也不给，那么孩子们就可以捉弄他们了。 纪念名人的节日 也有纪念名人的节日。中国的端午节（龙舟节）是纪念古代著名诗人屈
原的。美国的哥伦布日是纪念克里斯托弗.哥伦布发现“新大陆”的日子。印度 在10月2日有个全国性节日，纪念莫汉达斯.甘地，他是帮助印度脱离英国 而独立的领袖。 庆丰收的节日 收获与感恩节是十分喜庆的节日。越冬的粮食收集起来了，农活结束了，人们都心怀感激。在欧洲国家，人们通常用花果来装饰教堂和市政厅，在一 起聚餐。有些人还可能因为他们的农产品（参加各种评选）而获奖，比如最 大的西瓜或最帅的公鸡。中国和日本都有中秋节，这时人们会赏月。在中国，人们还品尝月饼。 春天的节日 最富生气而又最重要的节日，就是告别冬天、迎来春天的日子。中国人 过春节要吃饺子、鱼和肉，还要给孩子们送红纸包着的压岁钱。（他们）舞 龙灯、狂欢，全家人聚在一起欢庆阴历年。在一些西方国家有激动人心的狂 欢节，通常在二月，复活节前的四十天。狂欢节期间，人们穿着各种艳丽的 节日盛装，伴随着鼓噪的音乐，在街头游行，昼夜跳舞。复活节是全世界基 督徒的一个重要的宗教和公众节日。它庆祝耶稣复活，也欢庆春天和新生命 的到来。再晚些时候，日本就迎来了樱花节，（节日里）整个国度到处是盛 开的樱花。看上去就像覆盖了一层粉红色的雪。 人们喜欢聚在一起吃、喝、玩耍。节日让我们享受生活，让我们为自己的习俗而自豪，还可以暂时忘掉工作中的烦恼。 Using Language 一段伤心的爱情故事 李方的心都碎了。这天是情人节，胡瑾说她下班后会在咖啡馆和他见面
