Benjamin West, the father of American painting, showed his talent for art when he was only six years of age. But he did not know about brushes before a visitor told him he needed one. In those days, a brush was made from camel’s hair. There were no camels nearby. Benjamin decided that cat hair would work instead. He cut some fur from the family cat to make a brush.The brush did not last long. Soon Benjamin needed more fur. Before long, the cat began to look ragged(蓬乱). His father said that the cat must be sick. Benjamin was forced to admit what he had been doing.The cat’s lot was about to improve.That year, one of Benjamin’s cousins, Mr. Pennington, came to visit. He was impressed with Benjamin’s drawings. When he went home, he sent Benjamin a box of paint and some brushes. He also sent six engravings(版画) by an artist. These were the first pictures and first real paint and brushes Benjamin had ever seen.In 1747, when Benjamin was nine years old, Mr. Pennington returned for another visit. He was amazed at what Benjamin had done with his gift. He asked Benjamin’s parents if he might take the boy back to Philadelphia for a visit.In the city, Mr. Pennington gave Benjamin materials for creating oil paintings. The boy began a landscape(风景)painting. William Williams, a well-known painter, came to see him work. Williams was impressed with Benjamin and gave him two classic books on painting to take home. The books were long and dull. Benjamin could read only a little, having been a poor student. But he later said, “Those two books were my companions by day, and under my pillow at night.”While it is likely that he understood very little of the books, they were his introduction toclassical paintings. The nine-year-old boy decided then that he would be an artist.1.What is the text mainly about?A.Benjamin’s visit to Philadelphia.B.Williams’ influence on Benjamin.C.The beginning of Benjamin’s life as an artist.D.The friendship between Benjamin and Pennington.2.What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 suggest?A.The cat would be closely watched.B.The cat would get some medical care.C.Benjamin would leave his home shortly.D.Benjamin would have real brushes soon.3.What did Pennington do to help Benjamin develop his talent?A.He took him to see painting exhibitions.B.He provided him with painting materials.C.He sent him to a school in Philadelphia.D.He taught him how to make engravings.4.Williams’ two bo oks helped Benjamin to .A.master the use of paintsB.appreciate landscape paintingsC.get to know other paintersD.make up his mind to be a painterⅡ.七选五依照短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

schedules and the demands of bringing up children mean spare time for parents is at_a_premium，the research found.The study of 3,000 working mums and dads shows the average person wakes up at 6：42 am and does not manage to get back into bed until 10：45 pm.He or she will spend eight hours and 12 minutes working every day—about seven hours in the office and another hour and a quarter remotely，tapping away on their laptop.After rising early，the average working parents will spend a total of 55 minutes showering，dressing and eating breakfast.Another 47 minutes will be dedicated to getting the children ready for their day at school or nursery—washing and dressing them，packing their bags，feeding them breakfast and brushing their teeth.Collecting the children from school，nursery，childcare or after－school clubs consumes another 33 minutes a day，and preparing and eating dinner takes 46 minutes.Parents then get an hour and nine minutes with their children before they go to bed，and the household chores take up another hour and 13 minutes.That tight schedule leaves tired mums and dads only an hour and a half to relax and unwind.The study by Co－operative Food found working parents crave(渴望)more time to themselves—with eight out of ten dreaming of an escape from the grind of their daily routine.Some 64 percent of those polled felt they spent most of their time working.Almost four in ten would like a bit of time alone to read books，while 34 percent would relish the opportunity to exercise.A third of those polled would simply like time to relax and put their feet up in front of the television or enjoy a lie－in in the morning.Three out of ten would like to go to the pub every so often.Helen Bridgett，of Co－operative，said，“Our survey shows that working parents feel under enormous pressure to succeed both professionally and personally.”“For many，life has bee one big juggling act，and it means people have very little time to pursue their hobbies and interests，let alone givetheir beloved family members the quality time they deserve.”1．The underlined part“at a premium”in the first paragraph can be replaced by“________”．A．in great need B．difficult to getC．not necessary D．not existent2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．Working parents spend less time sleeping than working in the office every day.B．Most working parents spend nearly an hour doing housework.C．Most parents devote nearly two hours and a half to their children every day.D．Working parents hope they can get an hour and a half to relax every day.3．According to Helen Bridgett，________.A．many working parents do not have hobbies or interests due to tight work schedulesB．people should prefer their family to their workC．working parents find it difficult to achieve a balance between workand familyD．working parents don’t have time to stay with their beloved family members4．What should be the best title for the passage?A．More Spare Time Needed for Working

外研版高中英语必修四备课Module 4 Great ScientistsReading and writing教案

Module4 Great Scientists Reading and writing Period 4 Reading and writing—Stephen Hawking and Albert Einstein■Goals●To learn read and write passages about scientists■Procedures“I would like to speculate(思索) a little, on the development of life in the universe, and in particular, the development of intelligent life. I shall take this to include the human race, even though muchof its behavior throughout history has beenpretty stupid, and not calculated to aid thesurvival of the species.”By Stephen Hawking Biography(传记)Stephen William Hawking was born on 8 January 1942 (300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford, England. Hawking showed great talent in mathematics and physics at an early age. He was educated at St. Albans School, in Hertfordshire, and at University College, Oxford (牛津实行学院制度, 大学学院是牛津最古老的学院之一) where he obtained a first-class honors degree in Natural Science. During this time, he had been particularly interested in thermodynamics(热力学), relativity theory, and quantum mechanics(量子力学). He moved to Cambridge University to complete his PhD in cosmology at Trinity Hall. While at Cambridge in 1965, he married Jane Wilde, the daughter of Samantha Wilde, whom he had met at a New Year’s party in St. Al bans in 1963.Hawking was elected as one of the youngest fellows of the Royal Society in 1974, was appointed Commander of the British Empire in 1982, and became a Companion of Honor in 1989. He is a respected physicist, with many works recognized by both the International Association of Natural Physics and the American Physics-Astronomy Guild of Amherst.Step 2: Reading a passage about Stephen HawkingYou are going to read the three-paragraph passage about Stephen Hawking and number the paragraphs in the correct order.Step 3: Reading about Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein (March 14, 1879–April 18, 1955) was a German-born Jewish theoretical physicist, who is widely regarded as the greatest scientist of the 20th century. He proposed the theory of relativity and also made major contributions to the development of quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, and cosmology. He was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics for his explanation of the photoelectric effect in 1905 (his “miracle year”) and “for his servi ces to Theoretical Physics.”After his general theory of relativity was formulated in November 1915, Einstein became world-famous, an unusual achievement for a scientist. In his later years, his fame exceeded that of any other scientist in history. In popular culture, his name has become synonymous with great intelligence and even genius.Einstein himself was deeply concerned with the social impact of scientific discoveries. His reverence for all creation, his belief in the grandeur, beauty, and sublimity of the universe (the primary source of inspiration in science), his awe for the scheme that is manifested in the material universe—all of these show through in his work and philosophy.Step 4: Writing a passage about Albert EinsteinAlbert Einstein changed science.Albert Einstein was born in Ulm, Germany, in 1879. His father owned a factory that made electrical devices. His mother enjoyed music and books. His parents were Jewish but they did not observe many of the religion's rules.Albert was a quiet child who spent much of his time alone. He was slow to talk and had difficulty learning to read.When Albert was five years old, his father gave him a compass. The child was filled with wonder when he discovered that the compass needle always pointed in the same direction -- to the north. He asked his father and his uncle what caused the needle to move.Their answers about magnetism and gravity were difficult for the boy to understand. Yet he spent a lot of time thinking about them. He said later that he felt something hidden had to be behind things.。
