But the glacier was gone, melted by the warming climate. Sharp had a deep sense of loss when she discovered the glacier wasn't there anymore.Loss is a growing issue for people working and living on the front lines of climate change. And that gave Jennifer Wren Atkinson, a full­time lecturer at the University of Washington Bothell, US, an idea for a class.This term, she taught students on the Bothell campus about the emotional burdens of environmental studies. She used the experiences of Native American tribes(部落), scientists and activists, and asked her 24 students to face the reality that there is no easy fix—that “this is such an intractable problem that they're going to be dealing with it for the rest of their lives.”Student Cody Dillon used to be a climate science skeptic(怀疑论者). Then he did his own reading and research, and changed his mind.Dillon wasn't going into environmental work—he was a computer­science major. Yet, the potential for a worldwide environmental catastrophe seemed so real to him five years ago that he quit his job and became a full­time volunteer for an environmental group that worked on restoration(恢复) projects.Six months into the work, he decided that Atkinson's class was just what he was looking for—a place where he could discuss his concerns about a changing climate.Atkinson said she hopes the class helped her students prepare themselves for the amount of environmental loss that will happen over their lifetimes.“We are already changing the planet—so many species are going to be lost, displaced or massively impacted,” she said. “The future isn't going to be what theyimagined.”【语篇解读】 Fawn Sharp通过一次搭乘直升机飞行的经历认识到了冰川融化和环境污染问题的严重性,同时Jennifer Wren Atkinson决定给学生开设课程,教学生如何面对环境污染,她的课程让很多学生关注环境问题。

E. coli bacteria naturally live in the intestines(肠)ofhumans and many animals. Most kinds of E. coli areharmless but some can make people sick.One of the problems when people get sick from food is that the simplest question is often difficult or even impossible to answer. Just what did the people eat that made them sick? Of course, one way to avoid such problems is to keep dangerous organisms out of the food supply. This is easier said than done, but scientists keep looking for new ways.Scientists in the United States have developed an experimental system that uses a high-tech optical scanner(光学扫描仪). The inspection system is fixed in the packing houses where produce is sorted for market. The system is designed to identify the produce polluted by soil or animal waste. The new scanner can also show damage and imperfections that might make the produce unattractive to shoppers.Scientists designed the system at a Department of Agriculture research center in Beltsville, Maryland. Moon Kim of the Agricultural Research Service led the team.Moon Kim said, “We were asked to develop a method to test the polluted produce. So we started with the apple as the model sample. ”The scanner uses a high-speed camera placed over the conveyerbelt(输送带)that moves the produce along. As the apples move along the belt, the scanner gets images of each piece of fruit. A spectrograph(光谱议)device can use the light to check an apple to show evidence of damage.Moon Kim said, “Our team hopes the system will be available before long. We are targeting for development in commercial plants for the next several years. ”The scanner can direct a machine to separate the bad apples from the good ones. The system is currently able to show the surface of only half the apple as it speeds by. The inventors hope to improve the process so it can show the whole surface. (338W)1. The passage mainly talks about.A. the danger of E. coli bacteria to healthB. the way to avoid getting sick from foodC. a system to test the polluted produceD. the new attention to food safety issues2. According to the passage, we know the new scanner.A. can also damage the bacteria in the foodB. is perfect for finding out the polluted produceC. has already been used in the supermarketD. is still in test and need to improve3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most of the E. coli is dangerous to people’s health.B. The damage in the fruit might make it difficult to sell out.C. Now the system can take the pictures of each piece of fruit.D. The scanner is put on a moving belt while testing the produce.4. By saying “This is easier said than done” in Paragraph 2,the author wants to.A. show the difficulty in finding the bacteria from the food supplyB. show the scientists’ trouble in finding a new way to cure the diseaseC. express his anger to the businessmen for selling polluted foodD. express his worry ab out the dangerous issues in today’s food safety【语篇随练】请运用上下文暗示法, 按照以下提示题号找出完形填空文章中的对应词答案解析Ⅰ. 1.【解析】选C。

It was my mama's love and encouragement 10.______gave me the confidence to overcome my own doubt.Ⅱ.阅读理解Increasingly over the last few years,we have become familiar with the range of small electronic devices or “smart” accessories(附件,饰品). Pocket heart-rate monitors for joggers and electronic maps are just the first examples of many new products that promise to change our lives in all sorts of surprising ways.As a scientist at New York University, Rosalind Picard tries out different smart accessories before they go on the market. One of these was the so-called “frown (皱眉)headband”. Rosalind was shocked to realize just how often she frowned. Stuck in a traffic jam recently, Rosalind kept hearing the sounds of the tiny sensor inside the band worn around her forehead—each time she frowned in annoyance, the sensor gave out a signal.Another computer scientist, Steven Feiner, is working on a pair of glasses that will do more than help you to see.Imagine you want to try a restaurant in a foreign city but you're not familiar with the dishes on the menu. If you are wearing a pair of Steven's glasses, all you have to do is a glance above the restaurant's doorway and your glasses will immediately become windows to the Internet, offering you full details of the meals served inside. The glasses could also be used to help people make speeches,give chefs access to the latest recipes and even provide doctors with patient information while they carry out operations.At the moment, Steven' s invention looks more like a large skin mask than a pair of glasses.It's a headset connected to a hand-held computer and a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which tracks the wearer's position. But he says that these head-worn displays will eventually get smaller and lighter as technology improves.And, of course, this new technology has a fashionable as well as a useful application.A chemical engineer named Roben Langer has invented a new microchip that, if put inside a ring,can give off different smells according to a person's mood. That, of course, may or may not appeal to you. And,in the end, it is shoppers, not scientists, who will determine which of these smart accessories will succeed as fashionable items and which are sure to join history's long list of crazy inventions.It is clear,however,that as computers get smaller and cheaper, they will pop up in all sorts of easily-wearable accessories,even in the buttons on your coat. What's more, this is something that's going to happen a lot sooner than we all expect.11.When Rosalind wore the headband, she was surprised at ________.A.how well the sensor workedB.how she was affected by trafficC.how strong the signal wasD.how uncomfortable it was12.For people eating out, Steven's glasses can ________.A.give them a restaurant's locationB.let them see a restaurant's environmentC.inform them about a restaurant's menuD.tell them about a restaurant's quality13.What is the current problem with Steven's glasses?A.Limited function.B.Inconvenience.C.High cost.D.Poor Internet access.14.In general, what does the writer think about smart accessories?A.They will soon be widely available.B.More research is needed to put into them.C.Only a few of them will appeal to shoppers.D.Most of them are considered to be crazy inventions.15.What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A.To advertise some smart accessories.B.To tell interesting stories about smart accessories.C.To argue that smart accessories are fashionable.D.To introduce the idea of smart accessories.Ⅲ.信息匹配阅读下列应用文及相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。

人教版高考英语一轮练习及答案—选修6Unit 4选修6新题型浏览—语法填空【山东省高考英语综合能力测试卷】任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。

Good failures happen when, even though you made the correct decision, you still lost. Bad failures happen because you made b ad decisions, or worse, didn’t make a decision at all. Although the two feel the same, they have a completely different long-term impact.By separating the two types of failures, it is easier to persevere through good failures. It may hurt to have your bus iness proposal shut down for the fifteenth time, but it isn’t necessarily a bad failure. You can also avoid more bad failures. If you fail because of laziness, indecision or poor planning, you can quickly correct those in the future.I’ve foun d that there are several categories of good failures. Since they come from good, not bad,decisions, they are the best way to fail.1. High Upside, Low DownsideThere are many areas of life where the upside is far greater than the downside. When I write an article, it takes about 90 minutes of work. If nobody responds to that post, then I’ve just wasted 90 minutes. However, if the article becomes popular, it can bring in thousands of visitors to my website. Those thousands of visitors translate into new readers who can get value from the website. In addition, it often results in a higher monthly income for me.2. Breaking through Your LimitsThe only way to know your limits are to go past them. Occasionally I’ve committed myself to more work than I can handle. The result is stress. However, if not, you can never improve.

B.Riding bikes.C.Using poisonous cleaners. D.Saving electricity.B(2021·四川省资阳市二模)So here’s the bad news for the 5.3 m illion New York City workers who depend on the subways to get from place to place:The entire system— all 1,050 km and 468 stations of it—is shut down,much of it flooded with corrosive (侵蚀性的) salt water.The Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) freely admits it has never faced anything like the severe damage from Hurricane Sandy,and has absolutely no idea when the system will be up and running.“We’ll know it after everything is done,” says MTA spokesman Charles Seaton.But the good news is—well,never min d.There isn’t any.Really,it’s that bad,and if there’s no telling when things will be repaired,there’s even less ways of knowing what the eventual price tag will be.Yes,there are lessons to be learned from the current emergency for both New York itself and urban planners everywhere;the question is whether they’ll be heeded. New York’s woes (难题) are partly a function.New York’s subway system is 108 years old.Its tunnels and stations are located close to or under rivers and harbors,and water seepage (渗水) is unavoidable.“We have three pump trains,300 pump rooms and dozens of portable pumps around the system,” says Seaton.“Even on a day when there’s no rain,we pump out 13 million gallons of w ater.”Hurricane Sandy,of course,put a lot more stress on the system than an ordinary rainless day.Flood water in lower Manhattan rose to 4.2 m,beating the record of 3 m set by Hurricane Donna in 1960.Much of Manhattan below 40th St.is without electricity.No subway system will ever be truly immune to weather events.This is especially so in great cities like New York,whose very greatness in part depends on their nearness to rivers,harbors and other bodies of water.But spending money on the city’s basic transport system is perfectly possible,and indeed essential.That kind of preventive investment always seems too expensive at first,but only until you’re suddenly faced with the much higher repair bills New York is dealing with today.And as oceans continue to warm and sea levels continue t o rise,the problem is only getting worse.In the past 20 years,Hurricanes Andrew,Floyd,Katrina,Rita,Dean,Irene,Isaac and others have tried to remind us of that simple truth.Now Hurricane Sandy is adding her voice.One of these days,we might actually listen.5.What can we infer from Para.1?A.The subway system may start running soon.B.The whole subway system is flooded with corrosive salt water.C.It is difficult to repair the New York subway system.D.The MTA doesn’t know how to clean the subway system.6.Before Hurricane Sandy,New York’s subway has long been troubled by________. A.corrosive salt water B.water seepageC.old pumps D.poor power systems7.In the last paragraph,which is mentioned as a threat to New York’s subway system? A.Climate change. B.The technical problem.C.Nearness to rivers. D.The high running cost.8.To solve the problem caused by weather events,the author suggests________.A.changing the subway’s locationB.building a new power systemC.making preventive investmentD.repairing the pumping systemⅤ.书面表达最近某高中开展以“校园杜绝零食”为主题的活动。

What are your retirement plans? Keep working? Get more exercise? Or learn something new? You may put them on hold. There’s a chance that, sooner or later, you might have to move further than you were thinking, as far as Mars (火星).On Thursday, National Geographic will show the first ever Mars show home, giving earthlings an idea of what their life could look like on the Red Planet. Set in the not­so­distant year of 2037, the igloo­shaped structure could be the home of your future.It shows a house built using recycled spacecraft parts and Martian soil, called regolith, which has been microwaved into bricks. Some parts of the home are recognisable—kitchen, bedroom—but there are fundamental differences that are vital for human survival.As the Martian atmosphere is around one hundredth as thick as the Earth’s, people will need permanent shelter from the sun and society will move largely indoors. Most buildings will be connected by underground passages and the houses won’t have win dows. The homes will have simulated solar lighting, or natural light that has been bent several times.Walls will need to be 10 to 12 feet thick, to protect people from dangerous rays that can pass through six feet of steel, and a double air­locked entrance to keep the home under proper pressure.“We don’t think of our houses as things that keep us alive, but on Mars yourhouse will be a survival centre,”says Stephen Petranek, author of How We’ll Live on Mars. This is not just the stuff of sci­fi. “Ten to twenty years from now there will certainly be people on Mars,”Petranek says.“We’ve had the technology for 30 years to land people on Mars, but we haven’t had the will,”Petranek says. “But two main factors have completely swung public attitudes.”The private companies’ participation has forced government agencies to up their game, and influential films such as Gravity and The Martian have caught society’s eye.【解题导语】本文主要对人类未来在火星上居住作了相关介绍。

高考英语一轮课时提升作业: 二十九 选修6 Unit 4 含答案

课时提升作业二十九选修6Unit 4Global warming(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解AThe researchers’ findings will hardly come as a surprise to those who study air pollution. Previous research has shown that outdoor air pollution causes more than 3 million deaths annually and suggested that the figure could double by 2050.Another study suggested that air pollution causes 1. 6million premature(早产儿)deaths annually in China alone.Policy makers across the globe have responded to airpollution with a number of new regulations, many ofwhich focus on limiting pollution from coal. China stopped approval of new coal mines for three years at the end of 2019 and has issued strict requirements along the lines of those in the U. S. for new coal-fired power plants. Cities in China have also developed warning systems to get cars off the streets and limit industrial pollution during periods of intense smog. But even these policies may still be met by increases in mortality (死亡率)as aging populations are increasingly suffering from the problems associated with pollution.“China might move in the right direction in terms of air pollution,but it’s going to have to continue revising policies just like the U. S. and Europe, ” said Dan Greenbaum, president of Health Effects Institute, which supported the research.And, while premature deaths due to pollution in the U. S. and Europe have declined in recent decades, cities in the West have still taken steps to reduce pollution. Air pollution kills more than 200, 000 in Europe and nearly 80, 000 in the U. S. each year, according to the research. The benefits of addressing air pollution extend beyond the people who experience the health effects of poor air directly.“One of the unique things about air pollution is that you can’t run, you can’t hide from it, ” said study researcher Michael Brauer, a professor at the University of British Columbia, in a video accompanying the presentation. “But we know that if you improve air quality, everybody benefits from it. ”【文章大意】本文是一篇新闻报道。
