Unit 1 Great Scientists(必修5Unit 1)【短文语法填空】With the development of modern society and high technology, children wear more and more beautiful and fashionable clothes. More children 1 (allow) to choose their favorite clothes, which is 2 relatively new trend. Many years ago, children had to suffer the whims(突发奇想)of adults as far as clothes were concerned. Like 3 (adult) clothes, children’s clothes followed fashions as well. About 120 years 4 , boys in Europe and America wore white ankle-length dresses, just like their sisters, until they 5 (reach) the age of five. Older boys from wealthy 6 (family) were then dressed in pretty velvet(丝绒) suits 7 lace collars. Their hair was grown to shoulder length 8 longer. For many unlucky boys, these carefully planned and organized costumes were nor reserved for special occasions; they had to wear the same 9 (restrict)and uncomfortable outfits for everyday play. Clean and proper clothes say that the person has both self-respect and respect for other people. Clothing can tell quite a lot about the person, sometimes more than we would like to reveal. So we should pay more attention to 10 (wear) proper clothes in different occasions.【文章大意】文章讲述了在西方,孩子们服装的发展,同时说明了着装的注意事项。

"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day," reports the Daily Mail, claiming that "skipping it increases your chances of a heart attack."The study, published in the peer-reviewed journal Circulation, was carried out by researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and HarvardMedicalSchool. It was funded by the US National Institutes of Health and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.This study followed 26,902 male American dentists, vets, pharmacists(药剂师), optometrists, osteopaths and podiatrists(足疗师) aged between 45 and 82 years old for 16 years. To be fit for the study, the men could not have a history of cancer, coronary heart disease, heart attack or stroke.The population being studied was also extremely limited —professional men who were almost white. More research in women and other groups is needed for us to learn more about breakfast and heart health.After tracking a large group of middle-aged and older male American health professionals, studying their eating habits and their risk of developing coronary heart disease for 16 years, it found that men who reported skipping breakfast had a 27% higher risk of coronary heart disease than men who ate breakfast.Men who regularly were addicted to a "midnight snack" were found to have a 55% higher risk of coronary heart disease than men who didn’t. However, no association was seen between eating frequency (number of meals per day) and the risk of coronary heart disease. This could suggest that it is the timing of meals rather than the frequency that has a bigger influence on heart health.But because of the design of this study, a direct cause and effect relationship between breakfast and health cannot be proved. While the researchers attempted to take certain lifestyle factors into account, it could be the case that people who take time to have a regular breakfast also tend to have healthier lifestyles.1.What is the passage mainly discussing?A. Heart disease risk is higher in men who skip breakfast.B. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day.C. Many professionals took part in the research.D. Some people have a preference for midnight snacks.2.If you want to be a participant .A. you must be an American dentistB. you should contact CirculationC. you should be over 50 years oldD. you must be free from some diseases3.A person who prefers to have midnight snacks .A. may have a higher risk of coronary heart diseaseB. may have a habit of skipping breakfastC. may have less than three meals a dayD. may eat more frequently than others4.According to the passage, we can know .A. a regular breakfast will cost a lot of timeB. more research should be done about breakfast and healthC. the researchers must have developed healthy lifestylesD. only a few people focus on healthy lifestyles【文章大意】本文重点说明了早餐的重要性。

They say if you love your job, you’ll never work a day in your life. We say if you travel for work, you’ll never have a boring commute(上下班往返) a day in your life. If the typical 9-to-5 isn’t working for you, here are some options that will pay you to travel. No matter your current skill set, you can probably do it somewhere else. Represent abroadThe State Department is actively hiring Foreign Service Officers, and it’s probably easier than you think to become one. You’ll have to a lot of tests, but if you pass, you’ll spend the next years of your life working around the world. A Junior Foreign Service Officer starts at $71,000 a year.Teaching English as a Second Language abroad is one of the best ways to deepen understanding of another culture. There’s no need to be a certified English teacher in order to go abroad. In this program in China, soon-to-be teachers go abroad to obtain their Teaching English as a Foreign Language(TEFL) certifications. A beginning teacher in China will earn $2,500 for working six months, plus room and board.A cruise ship is a floating village. Therefore, any job that you could have in a village you could have onboard a ship-even auctioneering(做拍卖师). Carnival is hiring an art auctioneer to work aboard a luxury cruise ship. The only qualifications necessary are a college degree and public speaking skills. Going…going…sold. Write the railsWriters can reimagine themselves as rail-surfing Jack Kerouacs, crossing the country and writing from coast to coast on the Amtrak Writer’s Residency. The application process consists of two questions, as well as the opportunity to provide up to a 20-page writing sample.

Selling art on the seasD. Writing the rails2. The advertisement is intended for .A. those who are tired of their present jobsB. those who want to have a job with travelingC. those who just graduate from universityD. those who want to go on vacation abroad3.

专题01 Great scientist第一节阅读理解AAbout 1.3 billion years ago, two massive black holes hit each other and formed a new one. The energy set free by the collision created a ripple(波纹) in the spacetime structure and spread outward in gravitational waves (引力波).Then, on September 14,2015, a group of scientists discovered the waves. On February 11, an announcement came from the Laser Interferometer GravitationalWave Observatory (LIGO) in the US that, for the very first time, a gravitational wave was directly observed and recorded. “We discovered gravitational waves. We did it,”David Reitze, the director of LIGO, said in the press conference on February 11. “It's exactly what Einstein's theory of general relativity predicted.”Einstein's 1915 theory reimagined the framework for the universe. According to Einstein, the framework for the universe—or the spacetime structure—is not fixed,But changed by matter and energy “in a way a heavy sleeper causes a mattress to sag(床垫下凹), producing the effect we call gravity”,explains a New York Times article.“A disturbance in the universe could cause spacetime to become larger, break into pieces and even move up and down, like a mattress shaking when that sleeper rolls over, producing ripples of gravity: gravitational waves,”explains the article.Compared with the other three forces in the universe(electromagnetism, the weak nuclear force and the strong nuclear force), gravity is relatively weak, making gravitational waves hard to discover.The discovery by LIGO would open a new chapter in astronomy. “Everything else in astronomy is like the eye,”Szabolcs Marka, a Columbia University professor, told The New York Times.“Finally, astronomy grew ears. We never had ears before.”篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。

Unit 1 Great scientists李仕才一、阅读理解ACrying is the sign of the rawest of human emotions. We cry when we can't hold inside what we feel any more. We cry when we're at our best, and when we're at our worst. By we, I mean all of us. Men included.But we never see other men cry. In no western culture has it ever been acceptable for men to shed (流泪) more than a single tear, and even then it's reserved for grand victories, defeats and deaths. Dutch research suggests that women cry between three and five times more than men. Generally men and women cry over the same things —deaths, break­ups and homesickness, primarily, but researchers believe that men cry more often than women when it comes to positive events.I want to admit I'm a bit of a cryer. However, having never really experienced deaths in my life, a few weeks ago I experienced what it means to really, truly, pour my heart out in tears.See, my dog —and 24/7 companion —was killed by a car right outside my house. Being a witness to this painful event left me in shock for a good hour, but then the floodgates opened. Over the next 48 hours, I might have cried 20 times. Once or twice I crouched (蹲) on the floor with my head in my hands and tears were the only outlet.It is suggested in the book Adult Crying: A Biopsychosocial Approach that there's certain pleasure in crying. It helps ease stress when there is no other wayto express ourselves.In those days after my dog's death, I remember thinking, “I've got to stop this crying”. It felt unmanly. It felt like a sign of weakness. I've since realised that tears are for everybody; they're not gender­specific. They show we have sympathy, allow us to get rid of stress and just feel.【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。
