Currently the country is now helping Texas build its own bullet train, a potential gamechanger for transportation in the state.When it launched on October 1, 1964, the world's first highspeed rail network was known as the “superexpress of dreams”. The first line in Japan's now worldfamous shinkansen network was built against__all__odds,__in the face of fierce public opposition, technical difficulties and astronomical costs.Half a century ago, the system was far humbler. In 1964, the first track was a 320milelong link between Tokyo and Osaka that reduced the trip from sixandahalf hours(on conventional trains) to three hours and 10 minutes, traveling at a maximum speed of 200 miles per hour. For the first time, workers could get to meetings in one city during the day and be back home drinking a beer in the local pub that night.Not only did the train expand mobility profoundly, but also businesses appeared around the major stops as a growing emphasis on productivity swept across Japan. Today, the shinkansen network has 1,487 miles of track, with more set to open in the coming years. It seems that everything the shinkansen touches turns to city, and regions that are off the beaten track, so to speak, benefit greatly from the economic jumpstart brought by the train. New shinkansen lines are often proceeded by aggressive marketing campaigns promoting tourism in those areas, a strategy that seems to work.Despite its astronomical costs, it actually has saved more. Today, over 350,000 annual trips transport tens of millions of passengers all over Japan with efficiency—the average delay time is less than a minute. A research report titled 30 Years of HighSpeed Railways: Features and Economic and Social Effects of The Shinkansen by Hiroshi Okada, estimates that the economic impact from the shinkansen train network, based on the time saved from faster travel, is approximately ¥500 billion($4.8 billion USD) per year. Okada stresses that the cultural impact is alsosignificant, as a shinkansen offers people living f ar from urban centers “easy access to concerts, exhibitions, theaters, etc., enabling them to lead fuller lives”.Japan has a plan, known as the OneDay Travel Initiative. Its goal: regardless of where you are in Japan, it should only take you three hours to get to the nearest major regional city(Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Sapporo or Fukuoka). The planned impact of this hypermobility is to discourage the tide of migration toward urban centers, like Tokyo, and encourage decentralization.( ) 1. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.A. opposed to traditional beliefsB. despite some major barriersC. based on impractical fantasiesD. in spite of poor planning( ) 2. According to Okada, what benefit does a shinkansen bring to people living far from urban centers?A. Saving more travelling time.B. Creating massive employment.C. Enjoying a more colorful life.D. Accumulating vast wealth.( ) 3. What is the main purpose of the OneDay Travel Initiative?A. To promote even distribution of population.B. To advocate urban lifestyle among migrants.C. To satisfy the increasing needs of urban centers.D. To include more citizens in urban centers.第17天Module 8 Unit 3一、1. reward 2. output 3. accommodation4. admission5. disgusting二、1. changeable 2. committed 3. admission4. rewarded5. upwards三、1.

Almost half of that winds up in landfills(垃圾填埋场), and up to 12 million tons pollute the oceans. So far there is no effective way to get rid of it, but a new study suggests an answer may lie in the stomachs of some hungry worms.Researchers in Spain and England recently found that the worms of the greater wax moth can break down polyethylene, which accounts for 40% of plastics. The team left 100 wax worms on a commercial polyethylene shopping bag for 12 hours, and the worms consumed and broke down about 92 milligrams, or almost 3% of it. To confirm that the worms' chewing alone was not responsible for the polyethylene breakdown, the researchers made some worms into paste(糊状物) and applied it to plastic films.14 hours later the films had lost 13% of their mass—apparently broken down by enzymes(酶) from the worms' stomachs. Their findings were published in Current Biology in 2017.Federica Bertocchini, coauthor of the study, says the worms' ability to break down their everyday food—beeswax—also allows them to break down plastic. “Wax is a complex mixture, but the basic bond in polyethy lene, the carboncarbon bond, is there as well,”she explains, “The wax worm evolved a method or system to break this bond.”Jennifer DeBruyn, a microbiologist at the University of Tennessee, who was not involved in the study, says it is not surprising that such worms can break down polyethylene. But compared with previous studies, she finds the speed of breakingdown in this one exciting. The next step, DeBruyn says, will be to identify the cause of the breakdown. Is it an enzyme produced by the worm itself or by its gut microbes(肠道微生物)?Bertocchini agrees and hopes her team's findings might one day help employ the enzyme to break down plastics in landfills. But she expects using the chemical in some kind of industrial process—not simply “millions of worms thrown on top of the plastic”.( )33. According to Jennifer DeBruyn, the next step of the study is to ________.A. identify other means of the breakdownB. find out the source of the enzymeC. confirm the research findingsD. increase the breakdown speed( )34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the chemical might ________.A. help raise wormsB. help make plastic bagsC. be used to clean the oceansD. be produced in factories in future( )35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain a study method on worms.B. To introduce the diet of a special worm.C. To present a way to break down plastics.D. To propose new means to keep ecobalance.四、任务型阅读Mastering Storytelling FundamentalsWhether you're telling a joke, telling a fairy tale, or trying to persuade someone with a little empirical evidence, telling a story well is an important skill. While it comes naturally to some, for others this skill is a learned one. Never fear. Just get started with the steps below.Engage your audience.Interact(互动) with your audience or do something to grab their attention. Ask them a question, even if it's just rhetorical, that relates to the conclusion, twist, or context for the story you're going to tell. Alternatively you can make a grabbingstatement that catches their attention (setting your hook, the equivalent of a clickbait headline). This forces their attention to focus on the idea of your story and makes them want to hear more.Build the scene.Throughout your storytelling, you want to create an immersive experience. You want to tell your audience the story in a way that makes them feel like they're there. Start by giving them context when you start your story. Continue to create the scene by using details which help them picture the action and feel the things you felt. You'll also want to carefully tailor your language: use words which create very strong, very specific emotions.Build tension and release tension.Of course, the entire arc of a story should be building tension and releasing tension, until the climactic point in the story and the falling action of the conclusion. But what you need to remember is that a release of tension should come between the tension points. Without this release of tension, a story can feel rushed or too listlike. Real life includes m oments between the things that happen to us. Stories should too. This release can be a description of the scene, and quick filling in of semirelevant details, or a joke if the story is meant to be a bit funny.Focus on what's important.When telling a story, it is important to include details, to create that sense of immersion. However, you don't want the story to take on a “rambling” feel. This is why it's very important to focus on what's important. Cut the details that aren't important for the story, leave the ones that make the story.Keep the flow logical.This is where knowing your story and practicing become important. You know that person that tells a story and they get partway in and then they're like, “Oh, I forgot to mention …”? Yeah, don't be that guy. Don't stop to back up. This breaks the listener's experience of the story. Tell the story in a way that is logical and flows smoothly.Make it feel conclusive.It's awkward when an audience isn't sure if you're done or not, so make the conclusion of your story feel conclusive. There are a number of ways to do this, for example: Ask a question and give an answer. “How crazy is that? I know I'm sure not going to try that again.”Introduction people, whether in telling a joke, a fairy tale or persuading someone with a little empirical evidence.

Consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels. However,__if__you__think__paying__a__little__more__for__organic__food__gets__yo u__a__more__nutritious__and__safer__product,__then__you'd__better__save__your__ money. A study led by researchers at Stanford University says that organic products aren't necessarily more nutritious, and they're no less likely to suffer from diseasecausing bacteria, either.For their new study, SmithSpangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories(种类) of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.While the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. Neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. And both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. The researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. However, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.Organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more naturalgrowing practices, but that doesn't always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. The US Department of Agriculture(USDA) states that “Whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” Fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic.( ) 1. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?A. Organic food helps you save money.B. Organic food contains much more nutrients.C. Organic food is worth the high price.D. Organic food is not always nutritious.( ) 2. SmithSpangler and her colleagues found that ________.A. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseB. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsC. both organic and traditional food they examined were safeD. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food( ) 3.

Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly selfdriving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out selfdriving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on howthe transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how selfdriving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.Do we want to copy—or even worsen—the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual selfdriving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the selfdriving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport—an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ridehailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrolpowered private cars worldwide with electric, selfd riving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ridehailing services, considering the cost of selfdriving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the carcontrolled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.( )26. According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can ________.A. help deal with transportationrelated problemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs( )27. As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?A. Safety.B. Side effects.C. Affordability.D. Management.( )28. What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employed.B. Replaced.C. Shared.D. Reduced.( )29. What is the author's attitude to the future of selfdriving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.BWhat defines who we are? Our habits? Our tastes? Our memories? I would say it must be my deepseated sense of r ight and wrong.And yet, like many other people who speak more than one language, I often have the sense that I'm a slightly different person in each of my languages—more confident in English, more relaxed in French. Is it possible that my moral compass also points in somewhat different directions depending on the language I'm using?Several recent psychological studies suggest that when people are faced with moral dilemmas, they do respond differently when considering them in their native and foreign tongue.In a 2014 paper led by Albert Costa, volunteers were presented with a moral dilemma known as the “trolley problem”: imagine that a runaway trolley is dashing toward a group of five people standing on the tracks, unable to move. You are next to a switch that can shift the trolley to a different set of tracks, thereby sparing the five people, but resulting in the death of one who is standing on the side tracks. Do you pull the switch?Most people agree that they would. But what if the only way to stop the trolleyis by pushing a large stranger off a footbridge into its path? People tend to be very reluctant(不情愿的) to say they would do this. But Costa and his colleagues found that posing the dilemma in a language that volunteers had learned as a foreign tongue dramatically increased their willingness, from fewer than 20% of respondents working in their native language to about 50% of those using the foreign one.Why does it matter whether we judge morality in our native language or a foreign one? According to one explanation, such judgments involve two separate and competing modes of thinking—one of these, a qui ck, gutlevel “feeling”, and the other, careful deliberation about the greatest good for the greatest number. When we use a foreign language, we unconsciously sink into the more deliberate mode simply because the effort of operating in our nonnative language cues our cognitive(认知) system to prepare for strenuous(费力的) activity. An alternative explanation is because our childhood languages change with greater emotional intensity than do those learned in more academic settings. As a result, moral judgments made in a foreign language are less burdened with the emotional reactions.What then, is a multilingual(多语言的) person's “true” moral self? Is it my moral memories? Or is it the reasoning I'm able to apply when free of such unconscious restrictions? Or perhaps, as the research implies, regardless of how many languages we speak: that our moral compass is a combination of the earliest forces that have shaped us and the ways in which we escape them.( )30. In the author's opinion, it is your________ that defines who you are.A. habitB. tasteC. memoryD. morality( )31. In the “trolley problem” study, ________.A. most volunteers agree to pull the switchB. most volunteers attempt to push a stranger off a footbridgeC. 20% of the volunteers choose to shift the tracks of the trolleyD. 50% of the volunteers are reluctant to kill the five people on the tracks()32. Researchers find that when faced with a moral dilemma, people________.A. make decisions unconsciously in a foreign languageB. take more time to make decisions in a foreign languageC. learn a lot about academic settings in their native languageD. are more likely to be influenced by emotions in their native language( )33. Which of the following would he the best title for the passage?A. What is Our True Moral SelfB. How Languages Shape People's PersonalityC. What is the Key Factor in Decision MakingD. How Morality Changes in a Foreign Language四、任务型阅读Why Is Recycling Important?When you throw things away, you might be very glad to do it. Unfortunately, that's not the end of the story. The things we throw away have to go somewhere—usually they go off to be buried underground in a landfill(垃圾填埋) or burnt in an incinerator(焚化炉). Landfills can be terribly polluting. They look awful, they smell terrible, they take up space that could be used for better things, and they sometimes create harmful soil and water pollution that can kill fish in our rivers and seas.One of the worst things about landfills is that they're wasting a huge amount of useful material. It takes a lot of energy and a lot of resources to make things, and when we throw those things in a landfill, at the end of their lives, we're also saying goodbye to all the energy and resources instead of burying it in landfills. That certainly has advantages: it reduces the amount of waste that has to be buried and we can get useful energy from it. But it can also produce harmful air pollution, and burning almost anything adds to the problem of global warming and climate change.The trouble is, we're all in the habit of throwing things away. In the early part of 20th century, people used materials much more wisely—especially in World War Ⅱ. But in recent decades we've become a throwaway society. We tend to buy new things instead of getting old ones repaired. A lot of men use singleuse razors(剃须刀), for example, instead of buying reusable ones, while a lot of women wearsingleuse stockings. Partly this is to do with the great convenience of throwaway items. It's also because they're cheap. But wasteful period in our history is coming to an end.We're finally starting to realize that our lifestyle is creating problems for future generations. Earth is soon going to be running on empty if we carry on as we are. Americans have a much richer life than almost anyone else on Earth. What happens when people in developing countries such as India and China decide they want to live the same way as us? According to the environmentalists, we'd need two Earths to satisfy all their needs.34.____________35.____________36.____________37.____________38. ____________39.____________40.____________41.____________42.____________43. ____________五、书面表达请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英文写一篇150词左右的文章。

He's painted a lot of still ________(life), but he is not good at portraits.四、阅读理解American parents usually think that their children should not have more pocket money than thechildren with whom he regularly connects, even if they are wealthier. But neither are children expected to compare with the richer if a large family, heavy responsibilities, or other conditions make it necessary to give a child less spending money than is customary(惯例的) in the neighborhood.Whatever the pocket money is, its entire use is not controlled by the parents, because a child learns to use money correctly only through dealing with it himself.If a sevenyearold child gets a quarter as a week pocket money and is made to put it all in his piggy bank to save it up, he gets no idea what the real use for the money is. He gets the shiny coins and they soon disappear.The idea of a bank account is too early for so small a child, although he can be made to understand and enjoy saving his coins—not all of them, only a part of what he receives—to buy something he especially wants. By the time he is eight, he is old enough to take part in the opening of his own savings account. His parents may take him to the bank, open a savings account for him and encourage him to put a certain quantity or any checks he receives as gifts into the bank and watch his bank savings grow as entry by entry(存入) is made.He will be saving, earning, and spending suitable quantities all along in order to learn how to manage money and to keep him in a favorable position with his friend.The boy who can't join his fellows in a sweet shop once in a while, because he has to save every cent he gets or earns for some big unknown project his parents have chosen for him, is a sorry child.1. What do you think a piggy bank is?A. It is a kind of bank run by children.B. It is something in the shape of a pig for saving coins.C. It is a certain place in which pigs are raised.D. It is a bank whose building looks like a pig.2. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Most of the rich people in America give their children much pocket money.B. American children usually have their bank accounts until they are eight.C. American parents seldom care for their children's spending money.D. American children begin to learn how to manage money when they are very young.3. Suppose an 8yearold child receives 10 dollars as his birthday gift, he may probably ________.A. spend the money on the things he wantsB. compare the gift with that of his friend。

White, shiny, plastic and decorated with daisies, the basket seemed so appealing and I knew I had to have it.“Mom, please can I get it? I'll do extra chores for as long as you say. I'll do anything, but I need that basket. I love that basket. Please, Mom. Please?”“You know,” she said, gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believed was the coolest thing ever, “If you save up, you could buy this yourself.”“By the time I make enough it'll be gone!”“Maybe Roger here could hold it for you,” she smiled at Roger, the bike guy.“For that long? He can't hold it for that long, Mom. Someone else will buy it. Please, Mom, please?”“There might be another choice,” she said. My mother bought the beautifulbasket and put it safely out of reach in some hiding place I couldn't find. Each week I eagerly counted my growing nest egg earned by extra work here and there (washing the car, helping my mother make dinner, delivering milk around the ne ighborhood). And then, weeks later maybe, I counted, recounted and jumped for joy. Oh, I made it! I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon.Days later, the unthinkable happened. A neighborhood girl I'd played with appeared with the exact same basket fixed to her shiny, new bike. I rode my bike fast home to tell my mother about this disaster, this horrible turn of events.And then came the lesson I've taken with me through my life: “Honey, your basket is extraspecial,” Mom said, gently wiping away m y hot tears. “Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself.”( )26. In Paragraph 1, the writer shows a sense of ________.A. lonelinessB. thankfulnessC. helplessnessD. cleverness( )27. The writer finally got the basket she desired by ________.A. working and savingB. crying and beggingC. waiting and sharingD. borrowing and returningBThere are many weird sports that are present from around the world.

All it takes is setting aside five minutes every evening before you end your work to establish the one goal you will accomplish tomorrow. Sometimes, the hardest part of getting things done is deciding which thing to work on first. If this decision making has to happen first thing in the morning, it can create a block to progress, which is no way to start your day. By giving yourself a head start the night before, you're allowing your most productive work hours—in the morning—to be used to the fullest by not having to wonder about on choose what you'll work on first.Having a morning routine is one of the best things you've done for yourself. It not only helps you set your day up to be successful by gaining great power first in the morning, but it also allows you to guarantee that you are going to get a set number of things done right away. This way, no matter what your day brings, you should keep in mind that your health and nutrition are the most important. Your morning routine includes a workout, drinking water, meditation(冥想), and ensuring you get the nutrients you need to perform at a high level all day.One of the common mistakes people make is to focus entirely on whatever task is next on their list and promise not to move or pause until it's done. Tasks will expand to the time assigned. Instead, try to be inspired from successful people and setting up timed periods for both focused work and breaks. Establishing sections where you have a set amount of focus time followed by a set amount of refresh time prevents you from being distracted(注意力不集中的) and helps you make great progress on the tasks and projects you're working on.Being extremely futurefocused and ambitious is great, but if you're always moving from one task to another, you could be missing out on a big growth opportunity. In order to learn what's working and what's not working, you need to spend time reflecting. Set aside some time at least every 10 days to reflect on the good, the bad, and everything in between. When you can identify what's working, you'll knowwhat to double down on. You'll also be able to identify the things that are holding you back from getting where you want to go, and to think out solutions for those struggles in order to remove them in the future.If you really want to get more done, you have to stop focusing on what you can't do, and start focusing on everything that's going right. Being grateful will not only increase your happiness factor, it will also make you more productive. When you have a positive attitude and take time out to recognize everything you have to be grateful for, you're able to focus on the many things you have accomplished, you're more likely to make progress and get more done.31. ____________ 32. ____________33. ____________34. ____________35.____________36. ____________37. ____________38. ____________ 39. ____________ 40. ____________五、 书面表达请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
