课后阅读训练四Unit 1Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解AWe live in a technological society where most goods are mass-produced by unskilled labor. Because of this, most people think that craft(手艺)no longer exists.One of the ways these people wrongly support their view is by pointing to 100-year-old homes which are still solid, and arguing that it is the craftsmanship that is responsible for their durability(持久性). “Homes in those days were well-built, ” they say. No doubt these homes were well-built, but what these people have done is mix up the quality of material used in the house with the quality of the craftsmanship.Homes today could be built to last just as long as those old homes if people were willing or able to pay the price. For example, more people can no longer afford solid oak stairways, although they were once fairly common in older homes. Nor can they afford the high labor cost of employing a carpenter to build the stairway. Yet if someone can pay the high cost, there are still plenty of carpenters around able to make those stairways. And not only would these carpenters know how to build them, they would probably do a better job than carpenters of old days.One thing the modern carpenter has which enables him to do abetter job is much more advanced tools. Such tools as laser beams and power planes help them lay out a house better and make more precise cuts(精确切割)on the wood. Also, it is not uncommon any more to find carpenters with college degrees and carpenters with a solid knowledge of mathematics, which would enable them to deal with more difficult house designs.The problem of modern quality, then, really boils down to the problem of material, for the modern carpenter is just as able to produce craftsmanship as the carpenter of fifty years ago, but only if given proper material.【语篇概述】本文是议论文。

BA few years ago, a company called Space Marketing came up with a plan to send a mile-long advertisement into space. To advertising agencies(机构), it would have been “a dream come true”. However, advertising standards agencies finally decided not to allow Space Marketing to go ahead with their plans and they were forced to give them up.Space may indeed be the final place for advertisers, because on Earth we are already surrounded by advertising wherever we are and whatever we are doing. Apart from the obvious adverts that we see every day on TV, and in newspapers and magazines, there is a whole “other world”of advertising messages for our attention. There are ads that we see on the side of the bus we catch to work, for example. And what about the logos(商标)we see on the clothing of the people we walk past in the streets?Most of the time, we are probably not even aware of(意识到的)these less obvious advertising methods, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t work. Take“product placement”for example. You are in a cinema, watching the latest Hollywood movie. Look carefully at the make of the car your favorite actor is driving. And what about his watch? Can you see what brand it is? Chances are, you can, and the company that owns the brand is likely to have paid thousands for it to appear in thefilm.So, whether Space Marketing finally succeeds in sending ads into space or not is perhaps less important than it might seem. This would not change a thing. Our everyday lives are already strongly influenced by advertising whether we realize it or not.【语篇概述】我们的生活中出现了大量的广告, 本文介绍了一家叫Space Marketing的公司提出把一个一英里长的广告送到太空的想法。

人教版高中英语选修六课后阅读训练13.【Unit 4 Period 1】及答案解析Ⅰ. 阅读理解AGlobal warming is the process of earth’s atmosphere heating up. Over the last 100 years, the average temperature earth’s atmosphere has gone up 1 degree Fahrenheit. The weather has not changed exactly thesame way in every area of the planet. But scientists think that the rise in average temperature isalready affecting the earth’s climate.Many scientists now believe that global warming is caused by cutting down trees, producing more trash, andpolluting the environment and so on. Many scientists believe that the biggest cause of global warming is new humantechnologies that release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.The greenhouse effect is not new. Certain gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide and methane,make it hard for he at energy to go into space. In the past, the climate didn’t change much because nature pr the right amount of greenhouse gases to deal with it. Today, most scientists are pretty sure that the rising temperaturecan’t be blamed on nature. Ever si nce the industrial revolution in the 1700s, humans have relied on machines for dailylife. And many of those machines give off a lot of greenhouse gases. An increase in the release of greenhouse gasesfrom human activities is throwing nature off balance.The climate is a very complicated thing, but many scientists agree that the rising atmospheric temperature hasalready damaged the environment. Sheets of ice, called glaciers, are melting in Antarctica and other parts of the globe.As glaciers break off and melt into the oceans, they are adding warm water to the oceans and causing the sea level torise.Over the past 100 years, the sea level has risen 6~8 inches around the world. That means land along the coasts isbeginning to disappear under water. Bigger and warmer oceans are also adding to other weather problems caused bypollution in the atmosphere. Some places have received more rain, others have had bigger storms and a few areas in theworld have experienced unusual droughts.【语篇概述】本文主要讲述了全球变暖的原因及影响。

A 1-metre increase over the same period would cause $31.6 million in losses there.A more comprehensive 2009 study by the Pacific Institute, an environmental think tank, concluded that nearly 500,000 people and $100 billion worth of property along California’s entire coast were at risk of severe flooding from rising sea levels this century unless new safeguards were put in place.The San Francisco State University researchers said their findings could guide policymakers when they consider future shorefront development. (Reuters)1.

What can we learn from the passage?A. People and property along California’s entire coast are to be severely flooded this century.B. Venice Beach will remain standing there in spite of the rising sea level in the future.C. The rising seas could wash out California beaches.D. The rise of sea levels can be completely controlled and won’t affect tourism.3. What’s the tone of the writer?A. Optimistic.B. Matter-of-fact.C. Doubtful.D. Pessimistic.Ⅴ.语法填空阅读下面材料,在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

课时跟踪练(一) Warming Up & Reading — Pre reading Ⅰ.阅读理解AYou might think that “global warming” means nothing more than a rise in the world's temperature. But rising sea levels caused by it have resulted in the first evacuation (撤离) of an island nation the citizens of Tuvalu will have to leave their homeland.During the 20th century, the sea level rose 8－12 inches. As a result, Tuvalucountry'shas experienced lowland flooding of salt water that has polluted thedrinking water.Paani Laupepa, a Tuvaluan government official, reported to the Earth Policy Institute that the nation has suffered an unusually high number of fierce storms in the past ten years. Many scientists connect higher surface water temperatures resulting from global warming to greater and more damaging storms.Laupepa expressed dissatisfaction with the United States for refusing to sign the Kyoto Protocol, an international agreement calling for industrialized nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions (导致温室效应的气体排放), which are a main cau se of global warming. “By refusing to sign the agreement, the US has effectively taken away the freedom of future generations of Tuvaluans to live where their forefathers have lived for thousands of years.” Laupepa told the BBC.Tuvalu has asked Australia and New Zealand to allow the gradual move of its people to both countries.Tuvalu is not the only country that is vulnerable (易受影响的) to rising sea levels. Maumoon Gayoon, president of the Maldives, told the United Nations that global warming has made his c ountry of 311,000 an “endangered nation”．语篇解读：本文主要叙述了全球变暖对于某些岛国，特殊是Tuvalu造成的恶劣影响。

课后阅读训练八Unit 2Period 4Ⅰ. 阅读理解AHarperCollins Publishers will translate mathematics textbooks from Chinese schools and publish them in Britain, according to its agreement with Shanghai Century Publishing Group.Under the agreement signed at the ongoing London Book Fair, some primary schools in Britain will use 36 books, including math textbooks, supplementary textbooks and teacher’s textbooks from Shanghai primary schools starting in September, sources with the Shanghai Municipal Education Commission said Wednesday. The textbooks will be translated from Chinese into English to deliver a complete math program for primary school students. Apart from publishing textbooks, Britain will also spread the Shanghai Teaching for Mastery Programme in the country. It is a four-year program backed by 41 million British pounds in funding announced by the British Department for Education in July 2016. “The collaboration can make a significant contribution to raising young people’s mathematics performance—which is essential to their future success in learning and in life, ”said Colin Hughes, Managing Director of Collins Learning.Shanghai students achieved good performance in reading, math andscience in the Programme for International Student Assessment in 2009 and 2012, drawing global attention to education in the Chinese city. A Shanghai-England teacher exchange started in 2014. In September 2014, 73 teachers and educational administrators from 45 English primary schools and relevant departments visited schools in Shanghai. Between November 2014 and March 2015, 61 mathematics teachers and researchers from Shanghai visited 48 English primary schools and performed teaching demonstrations. Communication between Chinese and British math teachers is conducive to sharing teaching experience and enhancing their teaching abilities, said Prof. Zhang Minxuan from Shanghai Normal University.In July 2016, Britain announced it would continue the exchange project and urged 8, 000 middle and primary schools in the country to lear n from Shanghai’s math education.【语篇概述】本文主要讲述英国部分小学将使用上海的数学教材。
