Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius of his age.There are only a few men in all of the history，who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.“There is no such thing as genius，”Edison said.He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.
But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker.From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature.Nature，he often said，is full of secrets.He tried to understand them；then，he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.
Edison enjoyed thinking.He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking，especially if they do not think very often.But he knew，too，that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.
Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life.As he loved to think，he also loved to work.On the day he became 75 years old，someone asked him what ideas he had about life.“Work”，he answered.“Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.”He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

(2013·福建高考)Your glasses may someday replace your smartphone，and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch.Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.
“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a．m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said Walter Choo,40，of Fort Greene.
The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $ 250 and $ 600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.So，for example，if you were walking down a street，indicators would pop_up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.
“As far as a mainstream consumer product，this just isn't something anybody needs，” said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo.com.“We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，” he added，“and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置) that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”
9to5Google publisher Seth Weintraub，who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.
“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，”Weintraub said.“A few people started getting emails on their phones，and people thought that was crazy.Same kind of thing.We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones，and it's unnatural，”he said.“There's gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”
40．One of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses is to ________.
A．program the opening hours of a bar
B．supply you with a picture of the future
C．provide information about your surroundings
D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones
41．The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means“________”．
A．develop rapidly B．get round quickly
C．appear immediately D．go over automatically
42．According to Sam Biddle，the smartphone-like glasses are ________.
A．necessary for teenagers
B．attractive to New Yorkers
C．available to people worldwide
D．expensive for average consumers
43．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphone-like glasses ________.
A．may have a potential market
B．are as common as smartphones
C．are popular among young adults
D．will be improved by a new technology
C
The earth is a strange and amazing planet to live on.Our cities，forests，deserts and mountains are full of mysteries.Strange natural and weather phenomenon(现象)seem to be on the rise.The following are a few of them which are hard to explain or understand.
Strange Nature—The Disappearing Lake
In 2007，a lake in Chile disappeared.It's a true story.In March of 2007，the five-acre，one-hundred-foot deep lake was there.Two months later，it wasn't.Everything from global warming to UFOs was blamed but no one knows the cause for sure.Scientists think an earthquake could have opened a hole in the earth beneath the lake，and all the water flowed into it.
Strange Galaxy—The Awakening Sun
On April 13th,2010，the largest solar prominence(日珥)seen in years erupted(爆发)from our sun and lasted for two hours' duration.The next day，a volcano erupted in Iceland.According to scientists，the activity of this volcano has been on the increase since the end of 2009.Some theorists believe the solar prominence somehow“pushed”the volcano into erupting while others believe the events don't have anything to do with each other.
Strange Weather—Oklahoma Hail(冰雹)Storm
Hail is a pretty normal weather phenomenon.However，on May 16th,2010，what the people in Oklahoma City experienced was anything but normal.Though the hail，each drop as big as a soft ball，only fell for ten minutes，two people were killed，dozens were injured and thousands of dollars' worth of damage was reported.Weather patterns have been growing increasingly violent over the past ten years.
44．The lake in Chile disappeared in ________.
A．March,2007 B．May,2007
C．April,2010 D．May,2010
45．The volcano in Iceland mentioned in the passage________.
A．erupted for two hours
B．caused a great solar activity to happen

D．has been active since the end of 2009
46．According to the passage，hail ________.
A．is not common
B．is certain to be harmless
C．can cause deaths sometimes
D．can last only for less than 10 minutes
47．The writer wrote the passage mainly to________.
A．report deaths in some natural disasters
B．tell us about some strange natural and weather phenomenon
C．call on people to protect nature
D．introduce how the earth is changing
D
It has long been thought that elephants rely on their large ears and bathing in rivers to stay cool in hot climates.New research，however，has showed that the world's largest land animals have a secret trick of controlling their body temperatures.
Scientists have long been puzzled by temperature regulation(调节)in elephants.Generally，animals with large bodies tend to hold more heat because，compared to their size，they have a small surface area for heat to escape from.Elephants，with their heavy-weight frames，would appear to be at a disadvantage in the heat of their African and Asian habitats，especially because they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees.
Scientists thought that these creatures，which weigh up to 13 tons when fully-grown，grow large ears to help them stay cool.The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily.But findings by researchers at two universities in Vienna have showed that elephants are also able to cool down by increasing the blood flow to skin patches(斑) in other parts of their bodies.
The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo as they moved between outdoor and indoor environments to see how the temperature on their skin surface would change.They found up to 15 “hot spots” all over an elephant's body surface，in addition to large patches on the ears.The study shows how these patches expand as the air temperature increases and more blood flows nearer to the skin surface.Other experiments show that elephants in the wild use the same “windows” to control their body temperature.
Elephants have two additional ways to stay cool: flapping(拍打)the ears and bathing.Together with these tricks，the skin hot spots allow the animals to keep their body temperature always at about 36 degrees—one degree less than humans'.
48．What can we know about the elephants?
A．They have thick fur to protect them.
B．They live in cool areas in Africa and Asia.
C．They can weigh up to 3 tons when fully-grown.
D．They are afraid of water and rivers.
49．The fun_ction of the thinner skin on elephants' ears is to________.
A．control their body temperature
B．help hold more heat
C．drive away insects
D．keep sensitive hearing
50．The new research________.
A．studied six Asian elephants
B．studied elephants in a zoo and in the wild
C．aimed to discover the elephants' disadvantages
D．proved that scientists' earlier beliefs were totally true
Ⅳ.阅读填句(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
You might not know it，but there is something wonderful at your fingertips.51.________
52．________ When people are touched，the quantity of hemoglobin—a type of matter that produces the red color in blood—increases greatly.This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits.In experiments，bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life.They became sad and inactive. 53.________
54．________ Some years ago，a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak.Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthy，even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean.The reason，he concluded，was that they often had touches from nurses.
55．________And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients' fear of treatment.Of course there is time when a touch is now welcome.But even if
we don't like being touched，a smile can make us feel better.Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of“happy brain”chemicals.
So let's have a big smile and don't forget to keep“in touch”．
A．Doctors say that body touch is a kind of medicine that can work wonders.
B．You can make people happier，healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands.
C．Everyone knows that body contact can make people happier.
D．Experiments show that most people like being touched.
E．Human babies react in much the same way.
F．New-born baby monkeys should stay away from their mothers.

综合检测(四)
1．C 考查冠词。第一个空泛指一位杰出的科学家，应使用不定冠词。第二个空in space意思是“在太空中”，space前不使用冠词。故此题选C。
2．B 考查动词辨析。句意：戒烟的人在他们想吸烟时经常会用食物来代替香烟。replace sth. with sth.以……代替……。provide提供；convert 改变；exchange交换。
3．B 考查动词辨析。support支持，符合句意。consider考虑；agree同意；confirm证实，均不符合题意。
4．C 本句意为：——考试不难，对吗？——是的，但我觉得并非每个人都能及格。本题考查部分否定。not all，not both，not every，not each均表示部分否定。
5．B 考查时态和语态。根据句意，从句的主语与谓语动词间为被动关系，再根据主句的时态，可知从句也使用一般过去时，因不强调本身属性，所以不用主动表被动，故选B。
6．D 考查形容词辨析。根据答语中提供信息it's just a good copy( 一件很好的仿制品)，可知询问的是这幅作品是否是毕加索的原作，故此题选D。original最初的，原来的，符合语境。 alternative可替代的；informal非正式的； unusual非同寻常的。
7．D 考查escape用法。句意：当违反交通规则时，彼得总是试图逃避罚款，这令我们无法理解。escape常接动名词的被动语态，即“escape being＋过去分词”。
8．C 考查时态及主谓一致。由句中的时间状语in the past few years可知应该用现在完成时。当分数修饰可数名词的复数作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式；当分数修饰不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
9．A 句意：我建议你把上学当回事，否则造成的结果是你不得不出去工作。now and then“时不时地”；in a word“总的来说”，at that moment“在那个时候”。
10．D 本题考查名词辨析。句意：经理知道他工厂的产品质量差，于是决定对工人进行进一步的培训。从语境看，产品质量差符合语境，故选D。
11．D 考查固定结构及介词。句意：摆脱目前我们公司危机的关键是通过扩大出口来增加销售量。the key to doing意为“做某事的关键”，to为介词，后跟动词ing形式；第二空用介词by表示通过某种手段或方式，故此题选D。
12．A 考查动词短语。句意：根据报道，2013年台湾从大陆游客赚取大约14亿美元的收入。bring in 赚得，挣；bring up养育；bring about导致；bring out生产，出版。
13．A be known to意思是“为某人所熟知”；be known as意思是“作为……出名”；be known for意思是“因为……出名”。根据句子意思“无论他提到谁我都很熟悉，因为他们都是著名的现代作家”可知，答案为A项。
14．B 考查时态和语态。由后面的定语从句可知桥正在(被)建设中，故使用现在进行时的被动语态。
15．A 考查交际用语。根据英语的表达习惯和I'm really proud of you，可知对于儿子取得优异的成绩表示祝贺或赞赏，故此题选A。well done 好棒，keep cool保持冷静，与英语表达习惯和句意不符。go ahead开始吧，用吧，用来同意对方提出的要求。come on用来督促对方“快点”或给对方鼓励“加油”。
16．B 从下文__17__at one point she became somewhat mysterious 可推知，此处意思是她对妈妈没什么秘密(secrets)。
17．C 前一句说她对妈妈没什么秘密，后一句说她最近变得有些神神秘秘的，由此可知两句话之间为转折关系，故选But。
18．A 从上文__17__at one point she became somewhat mysterious 可推知此处的意思是“她不再像以前那样凡事都跟妈妈交流了”。故communicative 符合语境。
19．A 从文章最后两段中所提到的she found her diary on the pillow 和 Holding the diary可推知，此处是说：她有个日记本(diary)锁着。
20．A 从破折号后的解释what if she fell in love? She was not old enough for that可推知，妈妈此时很为女儿感到担忧(worrying)。can't help 意为“禁不住，忍不住”，后面跟动词-ing形式作宾语。
21．B 句意：结果(After all)她到了这个危险阶段。in all 总计；first of all 首先；at all 根本。
22．C 从下文可知，去和同学看电影的是这个女孩(girl)。
23．D 句意：那天晚上女儿会晚点回来(return)。
24．A 从下文可知，女儿去看电影了，故可以知道妈妈同意了(agreed)。
25．C 句意：她的女儿晚上从来没出去过(out)。
26．D 妈妈本来就因为女儿可能有了秘密而担心，此时，又跟同学出去看电影很晚没回家，因此她越来越担心和不安了，grow 在此意为“增强，增加”。
27．A 句意：她决定出去接女儿。此处meet 意为“迎接；接应”。其他选项不符合语境。
28．D 句意：汽车停下来的噪音把她引到窗边。draw本意是“拖，拉”，此处引申为“吸引，招引”。
29．C wave goodbye 挥手告别。
30．B 从上文可知，妈妈看见了女儿在同一位男生挥手道别，故此处应该是“假装(pretending)什么都没有发生”。
31．D 女儿以为妈妈什么都没看见，所以听妈妈问到 Who was that boy？的问题时很吃惊(surprised)。从语境来看，其他三个词均不符合女儿此时的情绪。
32．B give sb.a lift 让某人搭便车。
33．C 句意：第二天早上当母亲为女儿整理房间的时候。do some tidying 意为“整理房间”。
34．D 妈妈犹豫了一会儿，打开(opened)女儿的日记。
35．B 句意：妈妈，是因为爱您才问了那样的问题，但如果您不问，那将是一种理解。
36．B 细节理解题。在原文中没提到B项。根据第一段第二句“There are only a few men in all of the history，who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light.”可知其他三项的叙述是正确的。
37．C 细节理解题。根据第一段末句“He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.”可知在爱迪生看来天才就是努力工作的结果，故选C项，由此可排除D项。从第一段第三句“But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius.”可知A项错误；B项在原文没提到。
38．A 细节理解题。由第三段第三句“But he knew，too，that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.”可知答案。其他三项在原文没提到。
39．A 推理判断题。文章最后一句话“He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.”暗示出爱迪生觉得他有很多要发明的东西，对此而言，生命却很短暂，故选A项。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇介绍性的说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能及这种新科技产品的前景。
40．C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的描述“...a technology already available on smartphones and tablets(平板电脑)that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings.”可知“智能手机和平板电脑的这种技术能将周围环境的信息覆盖到屏幕上”，再结合后文的举例可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜的功能之一就是能为你提供周围环境的信息。
41．C 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段可知，这种类似于智能手机的眼镜能为使用者提供周围环境的信息，例如：如果你走在大街上，指示器就会立即告诉你最近的咖啡店或其他一些信息。根据画线词后面的showing you the nearest coffee shop可知pop up的意思为appear immediately“立即出现”。A项意为“快速发展”，B项意为“(消息)快速传开”，D项意为“自动复习”。
42．D 细节理解题。根据文章第四段所述“...and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device(装置)that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”可知Sam Biddle认为对于普通顾客而言，他们没有能力来购买如此贵的装置。
43．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段，Seth Weintraub认为这种可戴式新科技产品最终会像其他智能手机一样普遍。再结合最后一段的例子特别是最后一句话“There's gonna be improvements to that，and this a step there.”可看出这种新科技产品会很快流行起来，言外之意是这种新科技产品的市场潜力很大。
44．B 细节理解题。从第二段的In March of 2007...Two months later...可知答案。
45．D 推理判断题。从第三段的the activity of this volcano has been on the increase since the end of 2009可知D项正确。
46．C 细节理解题。从第四段的“Though the hail...only fell for ten minutes，two people were killed”可知C项正确。
47．B 作者意图题。文章客观地说明地球近年发生了很多奇特的自然、气候现象并列举了三个例子，所以写作意图主要是向大家介绍这些情况而已。
48．A 细节理解题。根据第二段的they have thick fur to protect them from bushes and trees可知A项正确。
49．A 推理判断题。从第三段的“...grow large ears to help them stay cool.The skin on the ears is thinner，so blood which flows into them cools down more easily.”可推断出A项正确。
50．B 细节理解题。根据第四段的The researchers studied six African elephants at Vienna Zoo和Other experiments show that elephants in the wild...可知B项正确。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history，and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved.An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook，a new view of the universe.It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 young Einstein had been world-famous.He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin.He had few duties，little teaching and unlimited chances for study，but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War I.
Einstein hated fighting and killing.The great suffering of war affected him deeply，and he sat unhappily in his office doing little.He lost interest in his research.Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the year following World War I honors were increasingly put on him.He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics.But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people.He was well known for his humble(恭顺的，谦逊的)manner.He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize，and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹)when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
1．The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A．the difficulty of Einstein's thought to others

A．Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in history
B．everybody understands Einstein's scientific ideas
C．the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyone
D．our ideas about the universe are different today from those in the past because of Einstein
3．Between 1914 and 1918 Einstein ________.
A．received world-wide praise
B．had no chances for study
C．almost did nothing in his office
D．still continued his scientific research

课时作业(七)
Ⅰ.1.species 2.figures 3.educated 4.converted 5.published 6.quality 7.agricultural
8．replaced 9.exports 10.supports
Ⅱ.1.B 句意：城镇中的大多数人强烈地支持为孩子们建造操场的计划。consider“考虑”；support“支持，拥护”；confirm“证实，确定”；submit“顺从，服从”。答案为B。
2．B 第一空表示“质量”，用quality，为不可数名词；第二空表示“数量”，用quantity。rather than的前后应为一个平行结构，所以其前后单复数要一致，故选B项。
3．A 考查单词辨析。句意：人们一般认为，广告能提高产量和销量。production“产量”；product“产品”，可数；produce作名词时意思是“农产品”，一般为不可数名词。根据句意选A。
4．D 句意：那位奥地利科学家花费了许多年时间研究蜜蜂彼此间传递信息的奇异方式。spend...(in)doing sth.“花费……时间做某事”为固定结构；由句意可知，第一空用studying和researching均可；way作“方式”解时，其后的定语从句可用that或in which来引导，也可省略引导词。综上可知D项切题。
5．A as a result of意为“由于……的结果”，后接名词或短语充当宾语。as a result常在句中充当状语；无C、D两项结构。
6．B the key to...……的关键；to为介词，后接动名词；故排除C、D项；the demands与make之间是被动关系，故用过去分词作后置定语，所以B项正确。
7．B 句意：许多人认为在将来几乎每次买东西都可以用信用卡来代替纸币。trade交易，买卖；replace代替；exchange交易，兑换；reduce减少。
8．A publish“发表，刊登”；broadcast“广播”；press“压，按，挤”；report“报道”，其宾语常是文章，新闻等。根据上下语境，只有A项符合要求。
9．B 句意：大地震过后，这座镇子被完全变成了废墟。convert...into...把……变成……。
10．D 后半句句意：为什么不做运动来改善你的体形呢？figure体形。
11．A bring up“抚养；养育”，与主语he构成动宾关系。grow up为不及物动词短语，不能用于被动语态；take up“占据，从事”；pick up“捡起，接……”。
12．A 考查时态和语态。句意：给老板的那些信被放在了桌子上，但直到三天后他才读。根据but后的“didn't read”可知老板读信是发生在过去，所以信被放到桌子上应该发生在“读信”之前，也是过去的动作，与现在无关，所以排除D，因为现在完成时表示动作到现在刚刚结束或是对现在造成了影响或结果。the letters与put之间为被动关系，故排除C；而且the letters作主语，是复数，可排除B。所以答案为A。
13．C 句意：非洲音乐的影响已传播到西方世界的许多地方。be exported to 意为“被传播到”。而deliver“邮寄”；perform“表演”；show“出示”均不合题意。
14．A 句意：他的原名很奇怪，但不是现在的这个。ancient 意为“古代的”；precious意为“珍贵的”；before意为“在……之前”，均不合题意。original 意为“最初的；原来的”符合句意，故选A。
15．C make a breakthrough 意为“取得突破”。符合句意。progress为不可数名词，前面不能加冠词。
Ⅲ.1.B 为了给姐姐挑选礼物，男孩在玩具店里看了很长时间。look through“为了找到某物仔细观察”；get through“通过，完成，打通”。stay和search搭配都不合适。
2．D 给姐姐的礼物一定要特殊。have to“必须”，表达出男孩对此事的关注、认真。
3．D 口香糖机子里装满了颜色各样的泡泡糖。filled with“装满了”；covered with“覆盖着”；dotted with“点缀着”；crowded with“挤满了”。
4．B 根据后面的he firmly stopped that desire“他坚定地止住了这种渴望”，可以判断一回到家男孩就想给姐姐看礼物。be too anxious to do sth.“急于做某事”，而be ready/prepared to do“准备做”表达不出男孩这种急切的心情。cautious“小心的”。
5．C 本句和前一句有转折含义，虽然很想立刻让姐姐看，但他还是坚定地止住了这种渴望。
6．A 姐姐现在把朋友们送的生日礼物打开，因为一般情况下，送别人的生日礼物都是包装起来的。
7．B 看到别人送姐姐的礼物都那么贵，都让姐姐发出惊喜的叫声，男孩觉得越来越不好意思。shame“羞愧”；unbelievable“不相信的”；curious“好奇的”；bored“厌倦的”。
8．B 他们在礼物上花的钱是他无法负担得起的。
9．D 和他们送的礼物相比，他的是那么小，那么不重要。dirty“脏的”；broken“破碎的”；old“旧的”，都不合语境，因此选择D。
10．C 男孩希望当姐姐看到自己送的礼物时，她也会发出惊喜地叫声。
11．B 根据后面的a weak smile 可以推断姐姐看到他的礼物很失望。
12．D 姐姐的朋友见此情景，拼命地忍住，尽量不笑出声。
13．A 根据后面的问句可以判断此时男孩既难过，又困惑。
14．B 为什么原先看起来很漂亮的礼物现在却像是一件廉价的塑料制品，而实际上它就是这样一件不值钱的塑料制品。
15．D 男孩在花园里哭的时候，妈妈出现了。show up“出现，露面”；come across“碰到”。注意男孩出来的时候，没有暗示妈妈看到，紧跟着冲出来，因此排除A项。
16．C 妈妈走进屋里，把这一切告诉男孩的姐姐，让她出来道歉。
17．C 姐姐脸上的表情让男孩知道是妈妈让她出来的，而不是她自愿的。
18．A 姐姐真诚的道歉说明她不是故意要伤害男孩。apology“道歉”；presence“出席”；mistake“错误，失误”。文章中没有暗示说姐姐哭了，因此排除tears。
19．B 本句和前面为转折关系。
20．C 尽管姐姐实际上喜欢他送的礼物，但是现在无论她说什么，男孩都以为这只是在安慰他。
Ⅳ.1.D 爱因斯坦相对论的发现对科学和历史产生了巨大影响，同时，也使人们的思想产生了巨大的变化。
2．D 此题是推测题，正是由于爱因斯坦的理论，人们对宇宙的看法同以前相比发生了巨大的改变。
3．C 由于战争的影响，他无法开展工作。从文章中得知，直到1918年战争结束他才返回工作岗位。
4．B 根据文章内容，爱因斯坦在1914年由于他的杰出贡献而闻名于世，而在1921年获得诺贝尔奖。故选B。

Edmond Halley was an English scientist who lived over 200 years ago.He studied the observations of comets which other scientists had made.The orbit of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical problem.He could not work it out.Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems.
However，Halley had a friend named Isaac Newton，who was a brilliant mathematician.Newton thought he had already worked out that problem，but he could not find the papers on which he had done it.He told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse.
Then Halley set to work.He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists.He made a surprising discovery.The comets that had appeared in the years 1531,1607 and 1682 all had the same orbit.Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart.
This seemed very strange to Halley.Three different comets followed the same orbit.The more Halley thought about it，the more he thought that there had not been three different comets as people thought.He decided that they had simply seen the same comet three times.The comet had gone away and had come back again.
It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future.He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758.There was 53 years to go before Halley's prediction could be tested.In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky.Halley did not see it，for he had died some years before.Ever since then that comet had been called Halley's Comet in his honor.
1．Halley figured out the orbit of________.
A．some different comets appearing several times
B．the same comet appearing at different times
C．three different comets appearing three times
D．several comets appearing at the same time
2．Halley made his discovery ________.
A．by doing experiments
B．by means of his own careful observation
C．by using the work of other scientists
D．by chance
3．This passage in general is about________.
A．Halley and other scientists
B．the orbit of a comet
C．Newton and Halley
D．Halley and his discovery
4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Halley was an American scientist.
B．Halley made his discovery by doing experiments.
C．Isaac Newton was a famous mathematician.
D．The orbit of a comet had the shape of a circle.

(2013·湖南高考)It's such a happy-looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it's pedestrian-friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach County Estates，along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It's a library built with love.
A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That's what we're going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin, now a 10th-grader, didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he'd built years earlier for daughter Abbie's toy horses，and made a door of glass.
After adding the library's final touches(装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they'd already read，a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids' favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay-at-home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project's best payoff, says Peter, are the thankyou notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
5．In what way is the library “pedestrian-friendly”？
A．It owns a yellow roof.
B．It stands near a sidewalk.
C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
D．It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
6．Janey got the idea to build a library from________.
A．a visit to Brian Williams
B．a spring break with her family
C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
7．The library was built________.
A．by a ship supply company
B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox
D．with glass
8．What can we infer about the signboard?
A．It was made by a user of the library.
B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.
D．It indicated the library was a family property.
9．The passage tells us that the users________.
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank-you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily

课时作业(八)
Ⅰ.1.career 2.brief 3.exploding 4.personal
5．graduated 6.victims 7.brilliant 8.physical
9．straight 10.escaped
Ⅱ.1.D 句意：这只飞鸟很幸运，没有被农夫撒在田间的隐形网捉住。此处escape表示“逃脱”，其后应接v.-ing，又因catch与the flying bird之间是被动关系，故用being caught。
2．D 根据后半句went away without looking at a third one，说明上两件都没选中，为完全否定，故选D项，both用在此处为两者的部分否定；any与all用于三者或三者以上。
3．A be in power在执政，当权，表示一种状态；come to power上台，执政，表示动作；take office任职。由句中的for ten years可知选A。
4．B 题干中的keep意为“使……保持(某一状态)”，又因为attention与pay之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词paid。
5．D 句意：后背着地躺下，把双脚并拢向上伸，保持双膝直立。straight adj.“直的”，符合句意。
6．B earn one's living 意为“谋生”，为固定短语。
7．D 考查非谓语动词。句意：四面八方的人们涌向这座城市，使它非常拥挤。 making在句中是vt.-ing形式作结果状语。
8．B 句意：导火线已经烧到尽头，炸弹就要爆炸了，让我们躲远点。explode“爆炸”，符合句意。expose“使……暴露”；express“表达”；explore“探索”。
9．C 句意：如果你读书的开头，你会发现作者写的简介。brief简短的。
10．B 考查短语的构成和辨析。clear away把……废除；clear up收拾，清理；break away突然走开，放弃；break down破裂，失败。
Ⅲ.1.B 理解判断题。根据第三、四段可知，哈雷计算的是同一颗彗星在不同时间的轨道。
2．C 细节理解题。哈雷的研究是基于前人的成就的。
3．D 主旨大意题。全文讲的是哈雷发现“哈雷彗星”的故事。
4．C 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，牛顿是个著名的数学家。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章为我们介绍了一个充满爱心、给读者带来便利的特殊图书馆。本文虽然是一篇说明文，但并不枯燥，如讲故事般娓娓道来。
5．B 细节理解题。该类题目出题者往往不将问题直接与文章中的事实对号入座，而是提出似是而非，或与问题完全无关的事实让考生去判断。对于这类题目，考生不要根据自己读文章的最初印象马上选出答案，而要从原文中找到问题的出处。根据第一段最后一句“...it's pedestrian-friendly，too，waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk...”可知图书馆位于人行道附近，为爱书人提供便利，故B项正确。
6．D 细节理解题。根据第三段首句“A year ago，shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the...”可知Janey是受到一个报道的启发才有建图书馆的想法的，故D项正确。
7．C 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Son Austin，now a 10th-grader，didn't see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.”可知该图书馆看起来像个邮箱，故C项正确。
8．C 细节理解题。根据第五段第一句“...the family hung a signboard on the front，instructing users to ‘take a book，return a book’，and making...”可知，在前面挂上一个布告板是为了告知使用者“拿走一本，返还一本”，以避免图书丢失，从而使图书馆长久存在，故C项正确。布告板是the family制作并悬挂的，而不是使用者，故A项错误；B项“这标志着对图书馆的最后装点”与原文中的“After adding the library's final touches...”相矛盾；挂布告板的目的是提醒使用者而非表明这是家庭的私有财产，故排除D项。
9．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Since then，the collection keeps replenishing itself，thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.”可知，借用人捐赠了很多书，故A项正确。文中未提及使用者为图书馆收集书会有报酬，排除B项；C项中的receive应改为give；D项说“使用者平均每天去图书馆超过五次”，与原文“图书馆每天平均会有五次拜访”不相符。
Ⅳ.1.Many graduates don't earn their living by themselves but depending on their parents.
