Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behavior and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgowwhere I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?' During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalizing on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.42. According to Dr Dominoni's study, what causes robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modem life.C. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.43. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected.44. What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Active at night.B. Inactive at night.C. Active during the day.D. Inactive during the day.45. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollutionD. Because there are more places to take shelter.精美句子了它普照万物的无私;读春雨,读出了它润物无声的柔情。

struck at his home,not once,but twice.The first time he had lost his five­year­old daughter.He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss;but,as he said,“Ten months later,God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”This double bereavement was almost too much to bear.“I couldn’t take it,” this father told us“I couldn’t sleep,eat,rest or relax.My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone.”At last he went to doctors;one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip,but neither helped.He said,“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大钳子),and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲伤)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使瘫痪) by sorrow,you know what he meant.“But thank God,I had one child left—a four­year­old son.He gave me the solution to my problem.One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself,he asked,‘Daddy,will you build a boat for me?’ I was in no moodto build a boat;in fact,I was in no mood to do anything.But my son is a persistent little fellow!I had to give in.Building that toy boat took me about three hours.By the time it was finished,I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months!I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking.In my case,building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring.So I determined to keep busy.”“The following night,I made a list of jobs that ought to be done.Scores of items needed to be repaired.Amazingly,I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention.During the last two years I have completed most of them.I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”No time for worry!That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hour’s a day at the height of the war.When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities,he said,“I am too busy.I have no time for worry.”1.The underlined word “bereavement” in the secon d paragraph refers to________.A.having lost a loved oneB.having lost a valuable articleC.having lost a profit­making businessD.having lost a well­paid job2.Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.A.he couldn’t earn enough m oney to support his familyB.he was suffering from sleeplessness diseaseC.he couldn’t get out of mental pressureD.he felt tired of adult­education classes3.Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repairedbecause________.A.he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend themB.he wanted to kill his free time by repairing themC.the items had actually been broken and needed attentionD.repairing the items helped crowd worry out of his mind4.At the end of the passage,the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.A.prove that he followed Churchill’s exampleB.support his student’s solution to his problemC.show that he was successful in his careerD.clarify how his conclusion was reachedPeople always think about “the problem of youth”.If there is one—which I take leave to doubt—it is older people who create it,not the young themselves.Let us get down to fundamentals and agree that the young are after all human beings—people just like their elders.There is only one difference between an old man and a young one:the young man has a beautiful future before him while the old man a splendid future behind him and maybe that is where the rub is.When I was a teenager,I felt that I was just young and unknown—that I was a new boy in a huge school,and I would have been very pleased to be regarded as something so interesting as a problem.For one thing,being a problem gives you a certain identify,and that is one of the things the young are busily engaged in seeking.I find young people exciting.They have an air of freedom,and they have not a dull promise to mean ambitions or love of comfort.They are not anxioussocial climbers,and they have no devotion to important things.All this seems to me to link them with life,and the origins of things.It’s as if they were in some sense of cosmic beings in violent and lovely contrast with us suburban (乡村的) creatures.All that is in my mind when I meet a young person.He may be too proud,ill­mannered,self­confident or self­satisfied,but I do not turn for protection to boring clichés about respect for elders as if age were a reason for respect.I accept that we are equals,and I will argue with them,as an equal,if I think he is wrong.5.“The problem of youth” in Paragraph 1 means the problem________.A.caused by young peopleB.needed to be solved by young peopleC.young people meetD.created by the old for the young6.The underlined word “rub” is closest in meaning to________.A.fact B.ageC.future D.difficulty7.One of the things the young are engaged in is that they want to________.A.climb up the social ladderB.have freedomC.be knownD.make troubles8.By saying “anxious social climbers”,the writer refers to________.A.some mean adults B.ambitious young peopleC.capable political leaders D.people who pursue comfortⅢ.短文填词Tom had never been to the north of the country before.But he knew w________to expect,because he had 1.________two friends who had t________him a lot about it.2.________It was certainly colder than in the south but the airwas c________and

Its aim is improve people’s life quality. This campaign calls up people to take more exerciseinstead of eating much, what contributes to their b odies’ balance between nutrition and exercise.In my opinion, it is necessary of people to take more exercise. Nowadays, more and more peopleare spending less and less time in building up their bodies, which affect their health seriously. As forstudents, their health condition is many more worrying. Many young students are near-sighted or fat. Their bodies get from bad to bad.With a campaign carried out, more and more people will be aware of this condition and begin togo in for all kinds of sports. But people’s health will be improved greatly.第三节、七选五Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie. For example, a two-hour movie costs $6 million to make. A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000a second.1 . Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money-and making money is what television is all about, the commercial is by far the more important.Research, market testing , talent, time and money-all come together to make us want to buy a product. 2 . The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. 3 .And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. 4 . If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to upper-class audience , make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer to feelsuperior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.We laugh at commercials. We don't think we pay that much attention to them.5 . The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It's big, big business. And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing .A.We , in turn , buy the product . commercials are a good guide to buyers .C.But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves .D.Here are some rules of commercial ad making .E.No matter how bad we think a commercial is , it works.F.And this does not include cost of paying for air time (电视节目开始的时间).G. The purpose of all the efforts made in producing TV commercials is to show how valuable theproduct is .第四节、阅读理解(2015年四川卷C篇)Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as£172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggestedsome of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum j o bs”, with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.£30,000.B.£142,000.C.£172,000.D.£202,000.39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mother s’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41. What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.。

Unit 2Poems【导语】英国19世纪湖畔诗人华兹华斯是英国浪漫主义诗歌的代表人物之一,曾被誉为“桂冠诗人〞,他开创的新鲜活泼的浪漫主义诗风影响了一代又一代直至今日的诗人。

William Wordsworth—Poet­Laureate (桂冠诗人)William Wordsworth was a major English Romantic poet who,with Samuel Taylor Coleridge,helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature.Wordsworth,born in the Lake District,was the son of a lawyer.He went to school first at Penrith and then at Hawkshead Grammar School before studying,from 1787,at St John's College,Cambridge—all of the periods were later to be described in ThePrelude.In 1790 he went with friends on a walking tour to France,the Alps and Italy,before arriving in France where Wordsworth was to spend the next year.While in France he fell in love twice over:once with a young French woman,Annette Vallon,who bore him a daughter,and then,once more,with the French Revolution.Returning to England he wrote,and left unpublished,his LettertotheBishopofLlandaff—a short piece of writing in support of the French Revolutionary cause.In 1795,after receiving a legacy,Wordsworth lived with his sister Dorothy first in Dorset and then at Alfoxden,Somerset,close to Coleridge.In these years he wrote many of his greatest poems and also travelled with Coleridge and Dorothy,in the winter of 1798­1799,to Germany.Two years later the second edition of LyricalBallads appeared in 1801,just one year before Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson.This was followed,in 1807,by the publication of PoemsinTwoVolumes,which included the poems ResolutionandIndependence and IntimationsofImmortalityfromRecollectionsofEarlyChildhood.During this period he also made new friendships with Walter Scott,Sir G.H.Beaumont and De Quincy,wrote such poems as ElegaicStanzas(1807),and fatheredfive children.He received a civil list pension in 1842 and was made poet­laureate just one year later.Today Wordsworth's poetry remains widely read.Its universal appeal is perhaps best explained by Wordsworth' s own words on the role,for him,of poetry; what he called “the most philosophical of all writing〞whose object is “truth carried alive into the heart by passion〞.【词海拾贝】1.launch v.发起2.legacy n.遗产3.pension n.养老金4.philosophical adj.哲学的5.passion n.热情【问题思考】True (T) or False (F):1.William Wordsworth was made poet­laureate in 1843.()2.De Quincy wrote such poems as ElegaicStanzas.()答案:1.T2.FⅠ.重点单词分类记★拼写高频单词1.________vt.传达;运送2.________adj.灵活的;可弯曲的;柔顺的3.________vi.& vt.取笑;招惹;戏弄4.________adv.最后;终于5.________adj.赤裸的;光秃的;稀少的6.________adj.适当的;正当的7.________n.交换;交流;互换vt.& vi.调换;交换答案:1.convey2.flexible3.tease4.eventually5.bare6.appropriate7.exchange★联想拓展单词1.________adj.无穷的;无止境的→________n.完毕;尽头;末端v.完毕;终结→________n.结局;结尾2.________adj.引起矛盾的;反驳的→________vt.反驳;否认;与……矛盾,抵触→________n.矛盾;否认;反驳3.________n.最低限度;最少量;最小数→________n.(反义词)最大限度;最大量;最大数4.________n.翻译;译文→________v.翻译;转化→______n.翻译家;翻译员5.________n.图书馆馆长;图书馆管理员→________n.图书馆6.________n.冠军称号→________n.冠军7.________vi.& vt.转化;转换;改造;变换→________n.转化;转换8.________n.黑暗;漆黑→________adj.黑暗的9.________n.暖和;温暖→________adj.温暖的;热情的10.________n.奖学金;学问;学术成就→________n.学者;奖学金获得者11.________n.钢琴家;钢琴演奏者→________n.钢琴12.________n.小提琴演奏者→________n.小提琴13.________n.悲伤;悲痛;懊悔→ ________adj.悲伤的,伤心的答案:1.endlessendending2.contradictorycontradictcontradiction3.minimummaximum4.transl ationtranslatetranslator5.librarianlibrary6.championshipchampion7.transformtransformation8.darknessdark9.warmthwarm10.scholarshipscholar11.pian istpiano12.violinistviolin13.sorrowsorrowful★识记阅读单词1.tick vt.________________2.emotion n. ________________3.concrete adj. ________________4.diamond n. ________________5.pattern n. ________________6.branch n. ________________7.section n. ________________8.diploma n. ________________9.sponsor n. ________________vt. ________________10.blank n. ________________adj. ________________11.compass n. ________________12.load n. ________________13.trunk n. ________________答案:1.给……标记号 2.情感;情绪;感情 3.具体的4.钻石;菱形 5.模式;式样;图案 6.枝条;支流;部门7.局部;节;切下的块8.毕业文凭;学位证书9.赞助人;主办者;倡议者发起,举办;倡议10.空白空白的;茫然的11.指南针;罗盘;(复数)圆规12.负担;负荷物(尤指沉重的)13.树干;象鼻;后备厢Ⅱ.重点短语快速记1.________________偶然地2.________________熬夜3.________________尤其;特别4.________________测试;试验5.________________发出;放走6.________________别挂断;继续;坚持;保持7.________________用完8.________________由……构成9.________________被译成10.________________轻松;不紧张;从容答案:1.by chance2.stay up3.in particular4.try out5.let out6.hold on7.run out of8.be made up of9.be translated into10.take it easyⅢ.经典句式应用记1.Some rhyme(like B)________(而)others do not(like C).(并列连词while表比照)2.________________(虽然奇怪)they all were true.(让步状语从句的省略)3.________________(如果旅行者归来),this stone would utter speech.(省略if 的虚拟条件句)4.____________________(有如此多不同类型的诗可以选择),students may eventually want to write poems of their own.(with复合结构作状语)5.There are various reasons________________(为什么人们写诗).(why引导定语从句)答案:1.while2.Though strange3.Should the traveller return4.With so many different forms of poetry to choose from5.why people write poetryⅠ.Fast­readingSkim the text and then choose the best answer.1.What's the main idea of the text?A.People all over the world like poems.B.People from different countries write different kinds of poems.C.People write poetry for many reasons.D.Poems are the most beautiful languages in the world.答案:B2.Read the passage and then match the poems with their forms.(1)Poem Aa.List poems(2)Poems B and C b.Tang poems(3)Poems D and E c.Nursery rhymes(4)Poems F and G d.Haiku(5)Poem H e.Cinquain答案:(1)c(2)a(3)e(4)d(5)bⅡ.Careful­readingRead the text carefully and then choose the best answer according to the text.1.People write poetry to________.A.tell a story B.describe somethingC.convey certain emotions D.all of the above2.What is the baby's father going to buy if the mockingbird won't sing in PoemA?A.A billy­goat.

A TV commercial can cost more than $6,000a second.1 . Which is more valuable, the program or the ad? In terms of money-and making money is what television is all about, the commercial is by far the more important.Research, market testing , talent, time and money-all come together to make us want to buy a product. 2 . The sales of charm went up once the ads began. TV commercials actually buy their way into our head. 3 .And the ads work because so much time and attention are given to them. 4 . If you want to get the lower-middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice. Put some people in the ad who work with their hands. If you want to sell to upper-class audience , make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies with. If you want the buyer to feelsuperior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself.We laugh at commercials. We don't think we pay that much attention to them.5 . The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff. It's big, big business. And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy. To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing .A.We , in turn , buy the product . commercials are a good guide to buyers .C.But evidence shows we are kidding ourselves .D.Here are some rules of commercial ad making .E.No matter how bad we think a commercial is , it works.F.And this does not include cost of paying for air time (电视节目开始的时间).G. The purpose of all the efforts made in producing TV commercials is to show how valuable theproduct is .第四节、阅读理解(2015年四川卷C篇)Across Britain, burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers. But, according to a new study, we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year. Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work. Now, the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours, they would earn as much as£172,000 a year.The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do, as well as the hours they are working, to determine the figure. This would make their yearly income £30,000 more than the Prime Minister earns.By analyzing the numbers, it found the average mother works 119 hours a week, 40 of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79 hours as overtime. After questioning 1,000 mothers with children under 18, it found that ,on most days, mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm.To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour, it suggestedsome of the roles that mums could take on, including housekeeper, part-time lawyer, personal trainer and entertainer. Being a part-time lawyer, at £48.98 an hour, would prove to be the most profitable of the “mum j o bs”, with psychologist(心理学家)a close second.It also asked mothers about the challenges they face, with 80 percent making emotional(情感的)demand as the hardest thing about motherhood.Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends.The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother’s Day. The emotional, physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending, but children are also sources of great joy and happiness. Investing (投入)in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent.38. How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister?A.£30,000.B.£142,000.C.£172,000.D.£202,000.39. The biggest challenge for most mothers is from .A. emotional demandB. low pay for workC. heavy workloadD. lack of training40. What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. Mothers’ importance shows in family all year long.B. The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile.C. Mothers’ devotion to children can hardly be calculated.D. Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return.41. What can we conclude from the study?A. Mothers’ working hours should be largely reduced.B. Mothers should balance their time for work and rest.C. Mothers’ labour is of a higher value than it is realized.D. Mothers should be freed from housework for social life.。

Robins are singing all night一as well as during the day, British-based researchers say.David Dominoni, of Glasgow University, said that light from street lamps, takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds' biological clock, leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep.Dr Dominoni, who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns, said lack of sleep could put the birds' health at risk. His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab, it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day. And the more birds are exposed to light, the more active they are at night.He told people at a conference, "There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing. Singing is a costly behavior and it takes energy. So by increasing their song output, there might be some costs of energy."And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light. Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal. Dr Dominoni said, "In Glasgowwhere I live, gulls are a serious problem. I have people coming to me saying `You are the bird expert. Can you help us kill these gulls?' During the breeding(繁殖)season, between April and June, they are very active at night and very noisy and people can't sleep."Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution, other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise.However, some birds thrive(兴旺)in noisy environments. A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery. It is thought that they are capitalizing on their predators(天敌)fleeing to quieter areas.42. According to Dr Dominoni's study, what causes robins to sing so much?A. The breeding season.B. The light in modem life.C. The dangerous environment.D. The noise from heavy machinery.43. What is the researchers' concern over the increase of birds' song output?A. The environment might be polluted.B. The birds' health might be damaged.C. The industry cost might be increased.D. The people's hearing might be affected.44. What does the underlined word "nocturnal" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. Active at night.B. Inactive at night.C. Active during the day.D. Inactive during the day.45. Why do some birds thrive in noisy environments?A. Because there are fewer dangers.B. Because there is more food to eat.C. Because there is less light pollutionD. Because there are more places to take shelter.。
