KK12配套学习资料 配套学习资料K12页脚内容 课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading—Pre-reading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas. Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙)．Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued_to_a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music. Music builds selfconfidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for selfexpression, and that helps develop their selfconfidence. Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school. 语篇解读：音乐在学生的成长过程中其作用不容忽视，是学校必须设置的一门课程。 1．According to the passage, music could make students smarter by ________.

But where did it come from? Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Americans.“R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words. Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock’n’roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock’n’roll was very dangerous. By the early 1960s, even rock’n’roll had become old fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time a new group from England became popular — the Beatles. The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon KK12配套学习资料 配套学习资料K12页脚内容 developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music. By the early 1970s, rock’n’roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the amplified (放大的) guitars and drums of rock’n’roll.“Rock” had arrived. Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock. 语篇解读：本文讲述了摇滚乐的发展史。 5．When had rock’n’roll become very popular? A．By the mid1950s. B．By the early 1960s. C．By the mid1960s. D．By the early 1970s. 解析：选A 细节理解题。由第三段第二句“By the mid1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock’n’roll, had become very popular.”可知答案。 6．Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Beatles? A．This was not an American group. B．This group had their own style. C．This group made American style songs popular. D．The style of popular music had been influenced by this group. 解析：选C 细节理解题。A、B、D三项所述均与文章第四、五段中的信息相符，这个乐队形成了自己的音乐风格，但并没有使美国的音乐风格流行起来，故选C项。 7．It can be inferred from the passage that Elvis Presley and Bill Haley ________. A．were singers of “R&B” B．were singers in the mid1950s C．were members of the Beatles D．were popular with old people 解析：选B 推理判断题。由第三段第二、三句可知，像Elvis Presley 和Bill Haley这样的歌手很受美国年轻人喜爱，他们是美国50年代中期的歌手。 8．What’s the best title for the passage?

In the thieve’s den (贼窝) Oliver is taught the skill of pocking and stealing and is forced to steal. He is rescued for a time by the kindhearted Mr Brownlow. But Nancy and other gang members find him and bring him back. It finally turns out that a mysterious man Monks wants to make the boy a criminal.Once Oliver is forced to help a burglar in a burglary.

But when Sonia found out who the neighbor was, she was not so sure. The neighbor's name was Mrs. Craverham, and kids in the neighborhood said she was the most unkind person who ever lived.Sonia walked up the path to Mrs. Craverham's. She did not like the idea of anyone being sick and alone, but what if the kids were right? A girl in Sonia's science class said that Mrs. Craverham had poked (戳) her with a stick last Halloween. Sometimes there were loud noises heard coming from inside. And a boy in Sonia's math class said Mrs. Craverham had hung him upside down and painted him yellow when he accidentally kicked a soccer ball into her yard. Torn between (左右为难) wanting to help someone in need and not wanting to come home a different color, Sonia decided to be brave.Finally Sonia knocked on the door. After a few moments, Mrs. Craverham answered the door and asked with impatience, “Who are you? What are you doing here？”Sonia said, “My mother heard you were ill. She cooked muffins for you.”Mrs. Craverham relaxed. “My, that's sweet. I'm sorry if I seemed impolite, but young people sometimes dare each other to come to my door because they think I'm going to do something to them. As soon as I answer the door, they run off and laugh loudly.”Suddenly, Sonia heard a loud cry. Mrs. Craverham laughed as Sonia jumped. “Oh, that's just Norbert, my parrot (鹦鹉). He's watched too many violent movies — like you, I think！”语篇解读：本文是记叙文。

Then it springs up, almost lifelike, and folds into moveable parts much like Japanese paper origami (折纸) art. And then it crawls away.This new kind of robot could someday be used in space exploration, to slide into collapsed building sites to aid search and rescue, or to speed up production on assembly lines, experts said Thursday.While this particular machine's march to the world market is still years away, the report in the journal Science said the latest advances open the way to a new frontier in personalized robotics.Not only is the material cheap — it cost just $100 — it could be easily reprogrammed from one task to anot her, said Sam Felton, a researcher at Harvard University's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering and School of Engineering and Applied Sciences.“In the same way that if you have a Word document and you want to change few words, you just reprint it at your home computer, you could take a robot's digital plan, change a few things and reprint it，” Felton told reporters.The thin robot is built of layers, including paper, a middle layer of copper into a network of electrical leads，and an outer layer of shapememory polymer (聚合物) that folds when heated. Once the batteries and motor are activated (激活), the robot folds itself much like a child's Transformer toy, and moves away like a crab.Other potential uses could include selfassembling furniture，or even shelters that build themselves in disaster z ones. “The exciting thing here is that you create this device that has computation (估算) put in the flat, printed version，” explained Daniela Rus, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). “And when these devices lift up from the ground into the third dimension (维度), they do it in a thoughtful way.”语篇解读：本文是新闻报道。

The species is considered one of the most adaptable in Australia, but new research shows that it spends less time underwater when temperatures increase, and that could put its survival in danger as heat records continue to be broken.Crocodiles dive for food, protection, socializing, and even a nap. They can typically stay underwater for 10 to 15 minutes and up to 30 minutes if they are tryingto hide from a threat. On average, a crocodile spends around 11 hours a day under water.To see how climate change would affect Australia's saltwater crocodiles, researchers at the University of Queensland studied young crocodiles in three pools heated to different temperatures. The first pool was set to the region's current summer water temperature of 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The second was set 6 degrees Fahrenheit higher — what researchers expect water temperatures to average under moderate (适度的) climate change. They heated the third pool to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, what the region could see under a worstcaseclimate situation.Essie Rogers, the study's lead author and a Ph.D. student at the University of Queensland, quickly saw a change in the crocodiles' behavior. “Acute increases in water temperature resulted in greatly shorter crocodile dives，” Rogers said in a statement. “Their underwater time halved with every 3.5degree Celsius increase in water temperature.”For Australia's saltwater crocodiles, the changing temperatures could mean the animals might start searching for cooler waters, heading farther south than the species' known range. Franklin said more testing needs to be conducted to get a better understanding of how climate change could affect crocodiles' prey (捕食). “We are not sure what this means, but it's likely that if the water is too hot, crocodiles might move to cooler regions or will seek shelter in deep, cool water pockets to defend their dive time，” Franklin said.语篇解读：研究发现，水温上升会减少鳄鱼在水下逗留的时间。

课时跟踪练(一) Welcome to the unit & Reading Ⅰ.阅读理解ANew research on vegetables and aging gives mothers another reason to say “I told you so”. It found that eating vegetables appears to help keep the brain young and may slow the mental decline sometimes associated with growing old.On measures of mental sharpness, older people who ate more than two servings (份) of vegetables daily appeared about five years younger at the end of the sixyear study than those who ate few or no vegetables.The research in almost 2,000 Chicagoarea men and women doesn’t prove that vegetables reduce mental decline, but it adds to evidence pointing in that direction. The findings also echo previous research in women only.Green leafy vegetables appeared to be the most beneficial. The researchers said that it may be because they contain amounts of healthy vitamin E, which is believed to help fight chemicals produced by the body that can damage cells. Vegetables generally contain more vitamin E than fruits, which was not linked with slowed mental decline in the study. “Vegetables also are often eaten with healthy fats such as salad oils, which help the body absorb vitamin E，” said the lead author Martha Clare Morris, a researcher at the Rush Institute for Healthy Aging at Chicago’s Rush University Medical Center.“This is a sound paper and contributes to our understanding of cognitive (认知的) decline，” said Dr Meir Stampfer of Harvard’s School of Public Health.“The findings specific for vegetables and not fruit add further credibility (可信性) that this is not simply a marker of a more healthful lifestyle，” said Stampfer, who was not involved in the research.The research involved 1,946 people aged 65 and older who filled out questionnaires about their eating habits. A vegetable serving equaled about a halfcup chopped or one cup if the vegetable was a raw leafy green like spinach.语篇解读：本文主要告诉我们多吃蔬菜能减缓大脑衰老的速度。
