大学英语精读第三册
Passage OneA couple of years ago I spent the day at an elementary school in New Jersey. It was a nice average school, a square and solid building, full of reasonablywell-behaved kids from middle-class families. I handled three classes, and by the time I staggered out the door I wanted to lie down for the rest of the day. Teaching's the toughest job there is. In his new memoir, "Teacher Man," Frank McCourt recalls telling his students, "Teaching is harder than working on docks and warehouses." Not to mention writing a column. I can stare off into the middle distance with my chin (下巴) in my hand any time. But you go mentally south for five minutes in front of a class of fifth graders, and you are sunk. The average new teacher today makes just under $30,000 a year, which may not look too bad for atwenty-something with no mortgage (抵押贷款) and no kids. But soon enough the new teachers realize that they can make more money and not work anywhere near as hard elsewhere. After a lifetime of hearing the old legends about cushy (舒适安逸的) hours and summer vacations, they figure out that early mornings are for students who need extra help, evenings are for test corrections and lesson plans, and weekends and summers are for second and even third jobs to try to pay the bills. According to the Department of Education, one in every five teachers leaves after the first year, and almost twice as many leave within three. If any business had that rate of turnover, someone would do something smart and strategic to fix it. This isn't any business. It's the most important business around, the gardeners of the landscape of the human race. Unfortunately, the current way of dealing with problems in education is taken directly from business practice, and it's a terrible fit. Instead of simply acknowledging that starting salaries are woefully low and committing to increasing them and finding the money for reasonable recurring raises, politicians have wasted decades talking about something called merit pay (奖励工资). It's a concept that works fine if you're making toys, but kids aren't toys, and good teaching isn't an assembly line.26. What can we infer from the first paragraph about teachers?1">They have to teach three classes at a time.2">They have a very rewarding job.3">They prefer to teach children from middle-class families.4">They have a very hard job to do.27. Why does the author say teaching is tougher than writing a column?1">Teaching is like working on docks and warehouses.2">Teaching demands full attention.3">Teachers have to work with children.4">Teachers have no chance to go traveling.28. What do new teachers find out after some practice?1">Their starting salary is lower than offered by other occupations.2">They have to work during vacations to make ends meet.3">They have to plan their time well to get everything done.4">They can take a second or even a third job besides teaching.29. We can infer from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks __________. 1">measures should be taken to keep teachers in their jobs2">the rate of turnover in teaching is low compared to other occupations3">it's natural for a number of teachers to quit in three to five years4">it's fair to call teachers the gardeners of the landscape of the human race 30. What does the author think of merit pay?1">It will make up for teachers' low starting salaries.2">It will bring down the turnover rate of teachers.3">It is a good fix for current educational problems.4">It is not suitable for the teaching profession.几年前,我花了一整天在新泽西的一所小学。

But actually there is a variety of life forms, according to André Vicente Liz, a doctoral candidate at the University of Porto in Portugal, who led a study exploring Saharan animal species.In the desert, cold-blooded creatures grow well because their body temperatures adjust to the temperature of their surroundings as they move from intense sunlight into cool underground holes. Liz has observed many small lizard (蜥蜴) species along with snakes, beetles, ants, and even frogs. Besides them, antelopes, camels, cheetahs and desert foxes are just some of the warm-blooded animals that can survive in the Sahara. But what leads to the vast biodiversity of the Sahara?One factor is the big changes in the desert’s climate. About 6,000 years ago, there was abundant rainfall in certain areas of the Sahara. Grasslands and lakes made ideal living places for animals and humans. Due to climate changes, the grasslands changed to a desert later, which made it impossible for humans to exist there. However, many animals still survived there.Another one is its diverse landscapes. There are some areas, such as rock pools known as “gueltas”, where biodiversity is especially high because they act as shelter for species that have to flee from their habitats due to a sudden, intolerable change in weather. In the face of climate change, Liz and his colleagues are studying “gueltas” closely to find out what makes them goodspots for survival. “These areas are known as gathering places for biodiversity and are especially interesting for conservation planning in the current context of climate emergency, where they can play a key role in supporting various species,” Liz said.Deserts may seem lifeless, but in fact many species have developed special ways to survive in the tough environments.4．What did Liz find about the Sahara Desert?A．It is home to diverse creatures.B．It has rows of underground holes.C．It is experiencing a great change in climate.D．It has a longer history than previously thought.5．Why can “gueltas” act as shelter?A．They are abundant in life forms.B．They are usually near animals’ habitats.C．They are less affected by climate change.D．They are rock pools with high biodiversity. 6．What does André Vicente Liz probably think of studying “gueltas”?A．Boring.B．Meaningful.C．Challenging.D．Creative. 7．Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?A．①-①①-①①B．①①①-①①C．①-①-①①-①D．①①-①①①The researchers used a machine learning technique known as Artemis named for the Greek hunting goddess to discover that “junk DNA” may play a crucial role in development of tumors (瘤). Scientists have used Al to clarify the human body’s so-called dark genome (基因组) and develop a potentially powerful new approach to cancer detection, monitoring and treatment.Investigators at Johns Hopkins University in the US have revealed how previously little-studied repeats of genetic code sequences -known as “junk DNA” or dark matter -are associated with tumors. The research, published in Science Translational Medicine on Wednesday, shows how AI and other advanced computing technologies are deepening understanding of diseases and how to deal with them.The scientists reviewed more than 1,200 distinct types of repeat DNA elements comprising almost half the human genome. They found that many of these junk genetic code pieces not previously linked to cancer had changed during tumor formation. In the researcher’s analysis of 736 genes linked to cancer formation, almost two-thirds contained on average 15 times more thenumber of repeat DNA sequences than expected. The findings suggested the junk pieces were “not occurring randomly” in cancerous tissues and were instead potentially revealing markers of tumors, Velculescu said. “They end up being gathered around genes that are altered in cancer in a variety of different ways, providing the first glimpse that these sequences may be key to tumor development,” he said.“While still at an early stage, this research demonstrates how some cancers could be diagnosed earlier by detecting tumor-specific changes in cells collected from blood samples,” said Hattie Brooks, a charity’s research information manager.Although there is still a long way to go before Artemis could be used in the clinic, it’s always exciting to see new approaches showing potential in detecting cancer sooner.8．What can we learn from the second paragraph?A．Investigators in the US have revealed how to deal with tumors.B．AI and other advanced computing technologies can cure cancer.C．Science Translational Medicine belongs to Johns Hopkins University.D．The repeats of genetic code sequences were rarely studied by scientists.9．What did the research find?A．Junk DNA was not linked to cancer.B．Junk DNA changed tumor formation.C．Junk DNA appeared randomly in cancerous tissues.D．Junk DNA was likely to be critical to tumor formation.10．What does the author intend to do in the last two paragraphs?A．To provide examples.B．To explain concepts.C．To express expectations.D．To draw comparisons.11．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Artemis—An AI to Clarify the Human’s Dark Genome.B．Artemis—A Potential New Approach to Detect Cancer.C．Artemis—A Machine Learning Technique to Cure Cancer.D．Artemis—A Greek Hunting Goddess to Discover Junk DNA．How good are you at storytelling?

Here are some tips to help get a life.Define what a life is to you. This notion of “a life” is subjective. 17 What do you want to achieve in life? What makes you happy? While certain aspects like having children, enjoyable experiences, or fulfilling work are often seen as indicators of a “life well-lived,” it’s ultimately your personal values that define what truly matters.Discuss your life with others. Sometimes, the act of expressing yourself to another can give you an in-depth view into what you want and need. In addition, other people may have insight into your life that you may be blind to. 18 Talk therapy can effectively address emotional problems and clarify your thoughts.19 List the main areas of your life, such as social, work, spiritual, family, leisure, health, community and charity. Once you have divided your life into these domains, reflect on whether you are happy with these aspects of your life. Getting a life usually means creating a balance among the fields of life you find to be important.Reassess your life every few months. Review the state of your life and decide if your life is more fulfilling with the changes you have made. The best way to decide is if you personally feel happier about your life. Remember not to think too much about what others may think about your life. 20Give yourself time to change your life, as it won’t be easy. Try to focus on making smallchanges over a year. After a year is over, you should have a better idea of what makes you happy. A．You are the one living it, after all.B．Break your life down into domains.C．Address stressful domains head-on.D．You need to reflect on what is important to you.E．The pursuit of happiness is a fundamental human goal.F．It is easy to get upset by obligations, work, technology and health problems.G．Consider booking an appointment with a consultant, if you do not want to talk to family or friends.二、完形填空As I lay awake in my tent, possibly miles away from the nearest human, I held my breath, listening to the noises coming from outside my tent.

高中英语外研版必修三教师用书Module 1 Europe
Module 1EuropeMy fantastic trip to Spain【美文导读】充满惊喜的西班牙之旅让Anna忍不住把所遇到的奇闻轶事都写信告诉她的好朋友Laura。
我们也一起来分享一下她的快乐旅程吧！Dear Laura，Here I am in Granada，Spain！Can you believe it？I'm sitting in a park near the house I'm staying in. The weather is beautiful! The sun is shining and it's just beginning to get warm.My host mother Rosa is very nice.She's much younger than I expected，and she lives with her five-year-old son Borja.He's so cute! Julie and I are staying in her apartment，along with two French girls and a boy from Michigan.The apartment is pretty crowded, but luckily I don't have to spend too much time there.I've spent the past few days exploring the town with Lauren and Caitlin.Yesterday we went to the Alhambra(西班牙格拉纳达的摩尔人王宫)，which was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.It's a huge fortress(要塞) built hundreds of years ago by the Muslims(伊斯兰教徒) who once lived in Granada.There are gardens and fountains and intricate carvings all through the fortress.It's huge－I could have spent days in there!That night we went to see flamenco dancing(弗拉曼戈舞). I loved it！You should have seen the way those dancers moved.After that, we went to dinner in the central square.The food here is pretty good—they have lots of “tapas，”which means appetizers(开胃菜)．It's great to be visiting a foreign country whose language I actually speak. It's hard though，because when-ever I have to talk to people I get nervous and forget everything.My Spanish is definitely getting better，though.I had a great conversation with my host mother yesterday.We talked about politics, and it was so interesting to hear about her views. That's what I love about language：it allows people from pletely different backgrounds to municate with one another and to begin to understand each other.I love the culture here.The best part is the “siesta(午睡)”．Every afternoon，the shops close and everyone goes home to eat lunch and take a nap(小睡)．Then，they go back to work feeling pletely refreshed! It's wonderful.I also love the fact that you can walk everywhere.Lauren，Caitlin，and I are planning on going to the beach this weekend.It's supposed to rain，but I hope it doesn't！We also want to go horse riding in the mountains.I can't wait.I'll be sure to write again soon! I miss you.Much love,Anna 【诱思导学】1．Do you want to go to Spain after reading the letter?

超实用高考英语复习： 阅读理解之应用文(全国通用)
热点练01 阅读理解之应用文距离高考还有一段时间，不少有经验的老师都会提醒考生，愈是临近高考，能否咬紧牙关、学会自我调节，态度是否主动积极，安排是否科学合理，能不能保持良好的心态、以饱满的情绪迎接挑战，其效果往往大不一样。
以下是本人从事10多年教学经验总结出的以下学习资料，希望可以帮助大家提高答题的正确率，希望对你有所帮助，有志者事竟成！养成良好的答题习惯，是决定高考英语成败的决定性因素之一。
做题前，要认真阅读题目要求、题干和选项，并对答案内容作出合理预测;答题时，切忌跟着感觉走，最好按照题目序号来做，不会的或存在疑问的，要做好标记，要善于发现，找到题目的题眼所在，规范答题，书写工整;答题完毕时，要认真检查，查漏补缺，纠正错误。
总之，在最后的复习阶段，学生们不要加大练习量。
在这个时候，学生要尽快找到适合自己的答题方式，最重要的是以平常心去面对考试。
英语最后的复习要树立信心，考试的时候遇到难题要想“别人也难”，遇到容易的则要想“细心审题”。
越到最后，考生越要回归基础，单词最好再梳理一遍，这样有利于提高阅读理解的效率。
另附高考复习方法和考前30天冲刺复习方法。
现在是信息爆炸时代，报纸、电视、互连网等媒体上的广告铺天盖地，我们在日常生活中随处可以见到形形色色的广告。
我们面临升学、就业、旅游、购房等问题时都会想到广告，希望能从各种广告中获取有用信息，实现我们的愿望，解决实际的生活、工作等问题。
因此，高考命题人十分注重考查考生对广告等应用文体的阅读能力,这也是一种运用所学语言知识解决实际问题的能力。
1. 先看问题,再读文章做阅读理解是先看问题，还是先看文章，这是很多同学经常问的问题。
我觉得这两种方法各有利弊，应视具体情况而定。
就阅读广告而言，还是先看问题比较好，因为广告类的试题绝大部分是寻找信息的题目，大可不必从头读到尾，带着问题有针对性地去跳读、略读，这样就可以节约不少时间。
2. 抓住广告的标题如果广告有标题，大标题下又有小标题，那么，快速寻找原文信息时，这些标题就成了很重要的线索，可以帮助我们快速准确地找到答案。

吉斯文书名校行手记|与乔治城大学招生官面对面
吉斯文书的第二站来到了素有“政客乐园”美誉的乔治城大学，从这所距离白宫西北面两英里左右的大学里，走出了诸多叱咤政坛的领袖人物，如美国总统比尔·克林顿、菲律宾总统阿罗约、哥斯达黎加总统劳拉钦奇利亚及台湾政治人物宋楚瑜等，6位毕业生曾经是美国参议员，13位毕业生曾经是美国众议员。
政要辈出的乔治城大学吸引了众多的申请者，虽然每年有数量众多的中国学生申请乔治城大学，但准入门槛非常高的乔治城大学也仅仅给很少的一部分国际学生投放了橄榄枝。
毫无疑问，即便名校有着近乎苛刻的录取标准，趋之若鹜的申请大军从来都不曾被吓倒，相反，他们都有着惊人的标准化成绩，一个个履历惊人，光芒四射。
然而，成绩高的学生大有人在，名校并不可能因此一一录取，这个时候，招生官想要了解到一个脱离了标化成绩的有血有肉有思想的学生形象，只能从他的申请文书中寻得。
乔治城大学招生官的招生详述
基于此，吉斯文书甘老师特意拜访了乔治城大学录取办公室高级招生官Jaime Briseno，与他深入交流了关于申请文书的相关话题。
（乔治城大学录取办公室高级招生官Jaime Briseno）
Jaime说：“在2016年的早期本科录取中，我们获得了以下的数据，申请的学生共有7027名，其中录取了892名学生，录取率为13%，学生在班级的排名平均为98%，其中SAT 阅读分数在690-780之间，数学分数在700-770之间，ACT的录取分数在32-34之间。
”
表述了乔治城大学的招生状况之后，Jaime特别强调：“乔治城大学没有参加CA申请系统，我们使用的是独立的申请系统，但我们仍然非常看重学生的文书。
我们希望学生在文书中可
以展示学生的个性，展现学生参加的课外活动，最好从一件事情上展示出学生的与众不同的个性，让招生官通过一件事情全面的了解学生：Who You Are？”
乔治城大学的招生委员会由学生，教授和录取办公室的工作人员组成，每一份文书都会由4-6人阅读。
一份好的文书会对学生的入学起到很重要的作用。
吉斯建议
有一些申请人苦于不能在评审中有机会解释某些弱点，比如某学期你生病，某个不幸降临使你某段时期功课不好或其他什么信息。
学生可以提供一个附录，但千万不要将它作为个人陈述的一部分。
某些问题不必在个人陈述中去解释，作为附录去解释会更容易获得招生官的青睐。
另外，学生可以提交诸如论文，新闻简报，录象带等辅助性资料，这些可以使招生官对学生有一个三维立体的印象。
但一定要注意的是，招生官不太可能去阅读一篇冗长的论文。
虽然在文书写作中，多数学校鼓励申请人展现自己的独立个性，但千万不要在递交申请材料时表现不必要的小聪明。
