单元检测（二十） Traffic JamⅠ.阅读理解ANearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness, where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel. 14yearold Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand. However, she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland. Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way.“So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mom talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe，” she says.Her invention, “Driver's Companion”， can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road.The user wears a headset (耳机), which sends information about the driver's brain waves (脑电波) to a tiny computer. The computer can be placed in front of the driver. The system then gives warnings, if needed. As the driver becomes sleepier, red color will be shown to warn him or her. The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road. The machine can say, “You're tired. Please take a break.”After sending her invention to the 2014 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr. Jesse Miller, who is a product development specialist.“He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was userfriendly，” Wu says.As a young scientist, Wu has some advice for other students of her age: “I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in. So they'll be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more. Also, when there's difficulty, they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

BAbout three decades ago, China was known as the “Bicycle Kingdom”．But the twowheeled transport's popularity began to fade, with many bikes soon replaced by their fuelpowered competitors.But recent months have seen a renaissance of the bike across China, with anincreasing number of people choosing cycling instead ofdriving to schools, to workplaces or to do sightseeing.Theintroduction of bikesharing schemes, first developed by newcompanies like Ofo and Mobike, has brought the trend to a new level.According to data from iResearch Consulting Group, the first week of this year saw 5.85 million active users of Mobike while Ofo had 1.4 million active users.People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones.The bikes are equipped with GPS and can be left anywhere in public places for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide an effective answer to the “last mile” problem, which refers to a person's final journey.“In places where the subway doesn't reach and where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another, it's so easy to get where you want to go with Mobike，” Hu Hong, 29, said.She rides a bike to work.However, the schemes have also led to problems such as illegal parking, vandalism (故意破坏) and theft.“Bikesharing is a greener method of transportation and provid es a userfriendly experience，” said Liu Xiaoming, ViceMinister of Transport.“But it's a combination of online and offline business.Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience.”In fact, these problems are also sh ared by bikesharing schemes abroad.Set up in 2007, Vélib is a largescale public bike sharing system in Paris.By October, 2009, a large number of Vélib's initial bikes had to be replaced due to vandalism or theft.Bikes were found hanging from lampposts (街灯柱) or thrown into the Seine River.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

words are from the black American educator，Booker Washington.He was saying that，“If you want people to grow up，you have to stop treating them like children.”In America，families are close but children are encouraged to be independent，to make their own decisions，even at a very early age.It’s not unusual for a child of seven to be given an allowance (津贴) every week.The child is encouraged to save some of the money but he or she can spend it on whatever they choose，for example，buying clothes，school supplies or CDs.Some teenagers even have their own credit cards！That’s a big responsibility since even adults are tempted tooverspend when they have credit cards.From an early age，American children are asked for their opinions and they are included in family decisionmaking.At the dinner table，teenagers will be listened to on any topic，from politics to buying a new family car or where the family will go on vacation.In this way，teenagers are getting practice in becoming individuals：they are learning how to stand on their own two feet.Many Chinese young people are becoming almost as interested as American teens in searching for independence.They want to express those qualities that make them unique human beings.You can see this in the way they dress，the music they listen to and the friends they choose.“Super Girl” Li Yuchun caught the imagination of Chines e teenagers on the “Super Girl” television contest.She was not the traditional “nice，young Chinese girl”．With her short，spiky hair and boylike clothes，she was telling everyone that she was different.She had the courage to be her own person and to stand on her own two feet...and she won!There is an old saying，“Everyone should carefully observe which way his heart draws him and then choose that way with all his strength.” If you do this，step by step，over a period of time，you may find that you have become the person you always wanted to be.1．The passage is intended to encourage the youth to________.A．save money for useful thingsB．become independentC．express their great ambitionsD．make important decisions2．A child of seven is given an allowance so that he can______.A．be accepted as a popular guyB．learn to decide how to use moneyC．overspend money without careD．have school supplies of his own3．The author implies that many Chinese children________.A．are more independent than AmericansB．should become interested in AmericaC．are happy with their present situationD．are not satisfied to be nice，quiet ones4．The main idea of the last paragraph is________.A．that we should do things step by stepB．why we should understand our desiresC．what we should plan for our own lifeD．how we can manage to realize our dreams(2009年安徽名校联考，D) As a foreigner，I don’ t know the situation in the US well.Seeing all kinds of recent shooting incidents，I think it should be controlled more strictly than now.Somebody said that the person who has it in mind to kill another can do it without a gun，so the causes of murders are not guns but the trend of despising (蔑视) life in the US.And they also insist that there is no clear evidence that the increasing number of murders is connected with possession of guns，so the personal rights should not be restricted by the reason that there is not enough evidence.Several months ago，I agreed with that partly.But as we know，the private groups like NRA have used the public opinion and persuaded the government to protect their profit.Other weapons such as knives，razors，bats are made for their own usage.But guns are made for only one reason—to kill someone.Of course，there are people who have guns to protect themselves from the criminals.But crime is getting more cruel and severe nowadays，so actually even if someone has a gun，it is impossible to guard himself completely.As a substitute，I think，if the possession of guns is controlled more strictly，people can live safer lives than now.There are other reasons to oppose the gun control (e.g.the possession of guns is historical inheritance (继承)and represents that people’s resistance will beagainst tyrannical (专制的) government)，but none of them can justify and explain today’s serious situation in t he US.5．The writer’s purpose is to give his opinion about________.A．personal possessions B．American cultureC．personal rights D．gun control6．Which of the following supports the writer’ s opinion?A．The causes of crime are not guns.B．People are accustomed to having guns.C．People can live a safer life without guns.D．Guns are used for selfdefence.7．What is the current situation in the US?A．The number of murders is rising.B．Everyone in the US possesses a gun.C．NRA has ruled over the country.D．No evidence is available after a crime.8．According to the writer，________should be banned in the society.A．knives B．gunsC．knives and guns D．knives，razors and bats课时作业(二十)Ⅰ.语音知识1．A 2.C 3.D 4.B 5.BⅡ.情景对话1．D 2.B 3.E 4.A 5.GⅢ.单项填空1．B 第一空表特指用定冠词the；第二空under construction为固定短语，意为“在建设中”。

They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dogwalking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work parttime, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.In New York, dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dogwalking business, you may earn less；if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.What do you have to do to be a dog walker?First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dogwalking services to find out abou t openings. If you're on your own, you'll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You'll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physicallyfit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded(被担保的)and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste！You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don't like each other, and difficult owners. It's also an upanddown kind of business—clients can come and go.For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward！You are your own boss—you can dress casually,_your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you'll get some great exercise!31. By writing the passage the writer tries to________.A．introduce you to a jobB．enrich your knowledge about petsC．advertise for a businessD．tell you more about life in New York32. One who wants to ________ may find the passage helpful.A．take up a weekend jobB．keep a good pet dogC．make money in his daily spare timeD．be a parttime office worker33. The fifth paragraph is meant to tell you________.A．what dogwalking is likeB．why dogwalking is worth tryingC．the unknown part of dogwalkingD．the bad side of dogwalking34. What does the underlined word “casually” in the last paragraph possibly mean?A．as you like B．like a bossC．in a dogfriendly way D．in nice clothesⅣ.阅读填空根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

课时作业 20Ⅰ.阅读理解(河北省武邑中学高三模拟)When a dog looks at you with big puppydog eyes, it's hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww〞 without hesitation. However, there's a reason why you find a dog's stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their fourlegged fr iends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from AzabuUniversity in Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin didn't happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists aren't sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their owners' oxytocin levels also rose as a result.The result of these experiments might help answer an ageold question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into man's best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the_change happened when dogs first became domestic (驯养的)．According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact, it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners，〞Kikusui said.本文是一篇应用文。
2019版高考英语外研版一轮复习习题练习：必修4 Module 2《Traffic Jam》(含解析)
第一部分必修四Module 2Ⅰ.阅读理解(2019·吉林二模) In Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.“What's unique is that we use a lot of data that's currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahahi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this.”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。

Module 2 Traffic Jam(限时：35分钟)(对应学生用书第335页)Ⅰ.阅读理解(2018·合肥市高三质量检测)Cycling is well known to improve individual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population in terms of economy，transport and environment.The EU promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的)clean and the energyefficient transport systems.However，despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 20∶1，many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled.Cycle lanes(车道)have been used to improve cyclists' safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road.This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists' safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车)vehicles is concerned.In this study，the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes，color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists' safety.Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without.Color block vs.uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference，as did no cycle lanes vs.color block cycle lanes.Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度)．Interestingly，the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists' safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes.Road width，parking，opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths.The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area.“In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling，reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.” They suggest，“Lane width is the most significant variable (变量)to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance.The narrow cycle lanes (<2m) may be not enough.Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了为了实现可持续的清洁和节能的交通系统，欧盟大力推广使用自行车，并指出在自行车的推广过程中要解决安全的问题。
