Some differences are quite interesting.When my friend Lily from London used the word “larder”, I didn’t know what it meant. Realizing I didn’t follow her, she used another word. I finally knew she wanted to find something to keep some food. The next word came up when we were planning a lunch date. She jotted down the date and time in her diary, while I marked my calendar. If she called me on the phone, she would ring me up. But if the line was busy, she would say the line was engaged.Most times, I can know what Lily means. Last week, she regretted sending her boys to watch an early morning tennis game without their fleeces. I thought that she meant without their jackets or something like those. Other times, we have to ask each other. She recently told me a funny tale about a woman who was pissed. I wondered what had made the lady angry. It turns out that pissed means drunk.Here is one more example. My British friend Jane was filling out a ticket at the grocery store recently. She asked the young man if he had a rubber. When she noticed he didn’t follow her，she quickly asked for an eraser, which, in England, is often called a rubber.In order to communicate well with the British, we Americans should learn some words that the British use differently. And I think people who learn English as a second language should also realize that there are differences between American English and British English.1.When Lily used the word “larder”，she was probably looking for a .A.cupB. ladderC. cupboardD. cooker2.What does the underlined phrase “jotted down”in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Wrote down.B.Left behind.C.Looked for.D.Settled down.st week, Lily regretted sending her boys to watch a tennis game mainly because .A.she thought the game was boringB.she wanted to spend time with her boysC.she didn’t dress her boys in thick clothesD.her boys got lost4.According to the passage, in British English .A.the word “pissed”means “angry”B.the word “jacket”is often usedC.the word “engaged’’means “tired”D.the word “rubber”means “eraser”17. Many people have tried to simplify the spelling of English words. Unlike other languages , English sometimes spells the same sounds in very different ways . For example , there is “light “but”white”, ”loan "but “phone”,and there are at least seven different ways of pronouncing "ough”:"though”, "through","bough”. "cough””enough", "ought"and “thorough".The American President Theodore Roosevelt almost succeeded in simplifying English spelling .In 1906, Andrew Carnegie started the Simplified Spelling Board .He was one of the richest men in the United States of America .The board’s plan was to make the spelling of words nearer to the way they sound .For example , the word “though”would be spelt “tho”and “through “would become “thru”. Other people on the board were Melvil Dewey , the head of the New York libraries , and Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia University .They explained their idea to President Roosevelt , who thought that it was indeed logical .He immediately asked the government printer to sue simplified spelling in all government letters .But people didn’t like the change, even if it made life easier. So the new simpler spelling was not popular. More importantly, when the American politicians(政客) discussed the plan, they did not like it either.Because Roosevelt did not want to have any problems with the politicians, he changed his mind and told the printer to go back to the old way of spelling.Since then no one in any government has dared to simplify English spelling. However,people do simplify some words, mainly in advertisements. For example, we often see “tonite”instead of “tonight”and “thru”instead of “through”.1.Many people have tried to simplify English spelling because________.A.English words are too long to rememberB.there are many mistakes in English wordsC.lots of words are spelt in many different waysD.sometimes the same sounds have different spellings.2.Who is NOT a member of the Simplified Spelling Board?A.Andrew Carnegie.B.Melvil Dewey.C.Theodore Roosevelt.D.Brander Matthews.3.What was Theodore Roosevelt’s attitude towards simplified spelling?A.Worried.B.Supportive.C.Uncertain.D.Doubtful.4.According to the passage, simplified spelling________.18.For a foreign student, I still remember exactly what I felt on the first day when I came to America. Since then my life has changed forever. When I was 14 years old my dream is to study in America. My parents thought I was so young to live in a new country on my own. However, I was not allowed go until I finished my high school. Here I am really exciting about a new life. I could travel to new places, eat new foods, and make new friends. I could even make ail the decision by myself. I have a lot of friends in the new place，and nothing could match my family at home. Sometimes I feel homesick but my new friends bring me a pleasure.A.was welcomed by the US politiciansB.changed the way the words soundC.has been used widely for over a centuryD.was first used in US government letters.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：Based解析：句意为:基于一个真实的故事,这部电影感动了许多人。

"And I saw this homeless man sitting on the sidewalk, holding up a sign that said, 'Homeless. Please help. 'And then, on my right, I saw a man in a Mercedes." She looked back and forth between the two extremes, the haves and the havenots and then turned to her father "You know, if the man in the Mercedes didn't have such a nice car, then the homeless man would have a meal,"Hannah recalls.That evening, she was still angry about what she’d seen. Her dad, a writer and entrepreneur, tried to explain that their family was really trying to make a difference. He pointed out that they were out in the munity doing good work, volunteering at the local food bank.But that wasn’t enough for Hannah. “ I was looking across the table,” Kevin recalls, “ and all I could feel was Hannah’s eyes staring at me with words shining in them —‘ This is lame, totally lame.Her mother, Joan, suggested, a bit facetiously," oh, what do you want to do? Do you want to sell the house?” And Hannah replied,“ Yeah! That is what I want to do. ” So the Salwen sold their seven bedroom mansion and bought a house one half its size. They donated half of the profits to charityFather and daughter have written a book, The Power of Half, which they hope will inspire others. Obviously not many people are going to sell their house," Hannah admits, " but there are so many things, so many opportunities that you can be part of. If your family watches four hours of TV a week, you could cut that to two and use the other two hours to help in a homeless shelter. ’’1.What would be the best title for the passage?A.A kindhearted girlB.Give help to the homelessC.The power of halfD.The two extremes in society2.We can infer from the first paragraph that Hannah Salwen .A.had great sympathy for the poorB.had never seen a homeless man beforeC.was angry with those who drove luxurious carsD.made a suggestion to the man in the Mercedes3.Hannah Salwen wanted to sell their house becauseA.they can't live in such a big houseB.she wanted to contribute to charityC.she preferred a simple lifeD.she wanted to build homes for the homeless4.The underlined word “facetiously” has a similar meaning to " ".A.disappointedlyB.angrilyC.curiouslyD.jokingly3、If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have bee smarter since you started to learn a language?According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the better the effect is.A team led by Dr. Andrea Michelle, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were pared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two language s gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between two and 34.Reading, writing, and prehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better.“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientist s.1. The main subject talked about in this passage is_________.A. science on learning a second languageB. man’s ability of learning a second languageC. findings that language learning can help brain powerD. language learning and maths study2.The last sentence of the second paragraph is intended to______.A.say language learning is also a kind of physical laborB.prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a languageC.show the importance of using it when you learn a languageD.make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well3.We may know from the scientific findings that_______.A.the earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density isB.there is no difference between a later second l anguage learner and one who doesn’t know a second languageC.the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brainD.the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time4.The underlined word “bilinguals” probably mean s___________.A.researchers on language learningB.people who are good at learning foreign languagesC.people who can speak two languagesD.active language learners4、A dove rested on a telephone wire. Ready for takeoff, it raises its wings, springs into the air and flaps away. This series of actions is so mon that you probably do not pay it much attention. But University of Manchester biomechanical engineer Ben Parslew does. He is trying to design robots that can jump like birds.Most conventional robots roll around on wheels, limiting mobility. There is a need for more agile robots that “can jump over obstacles in messy environments,” Parslew says. To design such a machine, he turned to nature: “Birds are really good jumpers”he notes.The trouble is, when birds start to take off, they lean so far forward that they should tip over and fall onto their beaks(p彖).Yet that does not happen. Parslew and his team used puter modeling to discover how birds avoid this fate. They discovered that birds twist their bodies slightly towards the back while accelerating into a jump. They also have flexible legs and toe joints, which prevent them from taking off briefly and immediately crashing into the ground. The results were published last October in Royal Society Open Science.Parslew thinks engineers can use this infonnation to design robots that can not only jump well but also launch into flight more efficiently. University of Southern California biomechanist Michael Habib, who was not involved in the study, says springs and levers (杠杆)enable more rapid acceleration than wheels do. And many animals are masters of springs and levers.“If you can understand how that works,”Habib adds, “you can build a robot that’s good at running around and good at flying, and it will also be good at taking off suddenly in all kinds of conditions and landing on a dime.” Parslew is now designing such a robot, as an alternative to wheeled rovers for exploring other planets.1.What is right about the dove mentioned in Paragraph 1?A.It takes off very beautifully.B.It gives Ben Paislew inspiration.C.It catches everyone’s attentionD.It raises Ben Parslew's curiosity.2.What can weinfer about the traditional robots?A.They can’t jump over barriers.B.They can’t detect barriers before them.C.They can only move in one direction.D.They can’t adapt to plex environments.3.How does a bird avoid falling when taking off?A.By getting rid of gravity.B.By spinning its body backward.C.By flapping its wings hard.D.By jumping into the air quickly.4.What is the main idea of the text?A.Birds provide inspiration for humans.B.New robots that can jump have been created.C.The development of robots benefits space exploration.D.Studying birds’jumping helps scientist build better robots.5、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。

Unit 2 English around the world Reading课时作业I单句语法填空1．It has been three years since I published (publish) my first book.2．The room is arranged very attractively(attractive)．3．Don't bother yourself about/with me; I'm doing quite well.4．I was fortunate (fortune)to catch today's last bus to the county at the last minute.5．Someone parked (park) his car in front of my house and blocked my driveway.6．As she feels very lonely, she is starving for friendship.7．A great number of tourists (tourist) from all over the world come to visit the pyramids every year.8．After finishing the work, we put up a board reminding people to protect the trees.9．That was the last time that she had helped (help) us.10．We can hear a beautiful voice when approaching (approach) the music classroom.II.阅读理解What does it take to be a good neighbour? Over the years I have had all kinds of neighbours, ones that were enjoyable and others that were to be avoided at all costs.One of the most important things in being a good neighbour is to respect a person's privacy(隐私)．When someone new moves into the neighbourhood，it is a good idea to watch them to see how friendly you should be.If you go rushing over as soon as they move in, they may think you are going to be one of those neighbours that come over at all times of the day, not respecting their privacy.It is a good idea always to be friendly to everyone in the neighbourhood.This can not only put you on good terms with them, but will also be a form of protection for your family and home.If you wave as they drive by or offer a friendly hello while they are out in their yard, this shows that you respect them.If you are friendly to them, they are much more likely to watch out for any wrong doings going on around your home while you are out and let you know if anything happens.Another way of being a good neighbour is to be helpful in times of need.If you see that they are in need of a helping hand doing something or in times of a disaster(灾难)，it is good to offer your help.Even though you have never really talked to the people down the street, they are willing to take the time to help out a neighbour in need.In conclusion, if you respect people's privacy, treat them kindly and be helpful when you see they are in need, you will be a great neighbour and everyone would be happy to have you next door!【语篇解读】处理好邻里关系对我们很重要。

Both Einstein and Dickens had mental illness. Now scientists have started to look at whethermental illness and genius are linked(联系)．Dr. Adele Juda studied 5, 000 creative people in Germany. She found there were more people with mental illness in this group than in the general population. Poets had the highest rate(比例) of mental illness, followed by musicians, with lower numbers for painters and architects.Other scientists did research which also showed a strong link between mental problems and creativity. But, it did nothing to explain it.Dr. Ruth Richards of Harvard University made a breakthrough．Instead of studying creative people, she took a group of psychiatric(精神病的) patients and tested them for creativity. The patients got much higher scores than a normal group.Also, the patients' close relatives were much more creative than the patients and a normal group. This suggests that the key to the link between creativity and mental illness is in our genes(基因)．But this is a problem. According to Darwinism, harmful genes should be removed. Some scientists believe that evolution(进化) has created a balance, where the madness of a few people leads to the development of the whole human race.Geniuses may be mad, bad or just difficult to understand, but their discoveries have improved the world we live in. It seems that a little creative madness is good for us all.【语篇解读】俗话说天才与疯子只有一线之隔，虽然疯子未必都是天才，但是天才却都有疯狂的创造力。
