“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real－life' friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction.Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week.The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use.People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.

Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted.And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.They spend more time in cyberspace(电脑空间) than in the real world of friends and family.

·You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.

(2013·绵阳高一检测)I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.Just listen.Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.And especially if it's given from the heart.When people are talking，there's no need to do anything but receive them.Listen to what they're saying.Care about it.Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.Most of us don't value ourselves or our love enough to know this.It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “I'm so sorry，”when someone is in pain.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them.Her pain became a story about themselves.Eventually she stopped talking to most people.We connect through listening.When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand，we move the focus of attention to ourselves.When we listen，they know we care.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening.In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs，until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness.Now I just listen.When they have cried all they need to cry，they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn.It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young.I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer.But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.
39．What does the author value most in the communication with each other?
A．Deep understanding. B．Saying “I'm sorry”．
C．Attention from heart. D．Doing nothing.
40．The woman patient stopped telling her story to most people because ________.
A．she didn't get enough respect from others
B．she was discouraged by being often interrupted
C．people often told her their own opinions
D．people couldn't understand her sad situation
41．If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying，you may ________.
A．hurt his feelings
B．make him embarrassed
C．encourage him to continue to cry
D．stop him from letting out his sorrow
42．Which of the following might be the author's opinion about communication?
A．Keep silent. B．Just listen.
C．Be careful. D．Tell your own story.
D
Tail Spin
(2013·北京高考)Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin, Grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her, however, is that she's even swimming at all.She doesn't have a tail.
Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005, she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it？” Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst.Grace did make it—but her tail didn't.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years, she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone.So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail, she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now, she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time，others not at all.“The new tail isn't necessary for her to feel comfortable，” says Stone，“but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉)．”
Now, the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month, Grace will star in Dolphin Tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.
43．When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her________.
A．physical build
B．potential ability
C．chance of survival
D．adaptation to the surroundings
44．A man-made tail is created for Grace to________.
A．let her recover faster
B．make her comfortable
C．adjust her way of swimming
D．help her perform better tricks
45．The story of Grace inspires people to________.
A．stick to their dreams
B．treat animals friendly
C．treasure what they have
D．face difficulties bravely

(2013·天津高考)Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals.I like this image.But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents' home in Boise in nine hours.We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest，easiest road，especially when I was alone with four noisy，restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky，so I would drive fast，stopping only when I had to.We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
But then Banner，our lamb was born.He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise.I had two choices：leave Banner with my husband，or take him with me.My husband made the decision for me.
That is how I found myself on the road with four kids，a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through.We took the country roads out of necessity.We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.The kids chased him and one another.They'd get back in the car breathless and energized，smelling fresh from the cold air.
We explored side roads，catching grasshoppers in waist-high grass.Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother，or fish leaping out of the water，it was better than the best ride down the freeway.Here was life.And new horizons (见识)．
We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.
I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique.On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car，ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead.I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.
Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight.But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.
46.Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents' home?
A．It was less tiring.
B．It would be faster and safer.
C．Her kids would feel less confined.
D．She felt better with other drivers nearby.
47．The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________.
A．relax in the fresh air
B．take a deep breath
C．take care of the lamb
D．let the kids play with Banner
48．What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?
A．Freeways are where beauty hides.
B．Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.
C．Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one's health.
D．One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.
49．Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?
A．To give herself some time to read.
B．To order some food for them.
C．To play a game with them.
D．To let them cool down.
50．What could be the best title for the passage?
A．Charm of the Detour
B．The Road to Bravery
C．Creativity out of Necessity
D．Road Trip and Country Life

[1]Artists have used many styles in their paintings and drawings.Here are some of the most common styles of art.Learn about each style and how to enjoy them.
[2]Abstract：Abstract artists feel that paintings do not have to show only things that are recognizable.In their paintings they do not try to show people, animals or places exactly as they appear in the real world.They mainly use color and shape in their paintings to show feelings.Some Abstract art is also called Non-objective art.In non-objective art, you do not see specific (特定的) things.It is not painted to look like something specific.
[3]Cubism：Cubism is modern art made up mostly of paintings.The paintings are not supposed to look real.The artist uses geometric (几何的) shapes to show what he is trying to paint.Early Cubists used mainly dark colors such as gray, brown and green.After 1914, Cubists started to use brighter colors.Cubism is the beginning of the Abstract or Non-objective art style.
[4]Expressionism：In Expressionist Art, the artist tries to express certain feelings about one thing.The artists that paint in this style are more concerned with having their paintings express a feeling than making the paintings look exactly like what they are painting.
[5]Pop art：Pop art can be any everyday thing that is drawn in a quick and colorful way.Pop art is short for popular art.It comes from advertising and popular entertainment.

课时作业(一)
Ⅰ.1.ancient 2.birthplace 3.galleries 4.landmarks 5.symbol 6.sculptures 7.range 8.situated/located 9.project 10.civilisation
Ⅱ.1.A 考查非谓语作状语。face sth./be faced with面临；面对， 句子的主语Steven Jobs与face是主动关系，所以第一个空填facing, 与with连用时，需用faced.
2．C 考查非谓语动词。ranging...在此作伴随状语。
3．D 句意：据说我们正生活在信息时代，一个充满了新发现和巨大变革的时代。本题考查冠词的用法。第一空后的“信息时代”是由普通名词构成的专有名词，前面需用定冠词the；time表示“时代”时为可数名词，第二空处为泛指，表示“一个……的时代”。故答案选D。
4．D 考查名词辨析。句意：在中国桃是长寿的象征，常出现在生日聚会上。symbol象征；符号，符合句意。example例子，榜样；feature特点；mark记号，标记，均不符合句意。
5．D 考查时态。ever since意为“自从……”，常与现在完成时连用。
6．C 句意：尊敬的贵宾朋友们，欢迎来到我们学校，今天来参加学校50周年仪式的有来自国内和国外的校友们。这是一个“表语＋系动词＋主语”的全部倒装语序。
7．A 句意：三分之一的国土被树木覆盖，大多数的市民是黑人。分数或百分数＋of＋名词作主语，谓语与of后的名词一致，第一空填is；第二空前的主语是citizens为可数名词复数，故填are。
8．C 句意：Well Hotel坐落在湖泊那头一个安静的地方，远离主路。考查介词辨析。off距，离，到(远至某处)，离开。又如：The town is still five miles off.那小城尚在五英里以外。
9．B 句意：我们很幸运，一下公共汽车就找到了邮局，它就在公交车站的对面。correct正确的；opposite对面的；across在……对面，要用across the bus stop；straight直的。由句意可知选B。
10．D 本题主要考查词语辨析。本句为“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”句型。第一个空应选择动词，through和across均为介词，B、C两项应予以排除。第二个空应使用过去分词形式called或named，所以正确答案为D。
11．B 句意：在所有我养过的动物中，这两只狗对语言最敏感。此题考查介词的用法。此处of用来表示范围，在……之中。
12．C 句意：就在我们的房子前面有一棵一千年历史的大树。表示方位的介词短语置于句首且主语为名词(短语)，句子的主谓需全部倒装。
13．A situated意为“坐落于”，过去分词形容词化作定语修饰Qingdao。
14．D 答话者体现了分享对方快乐的方式，所以用I'm glad to hear that. That's very nice of you. 用于别人主动提供帮助而自己愿意接受时说的话。句意：——我们五一节在青岛过得很愉快。——哦，很高兴听你这么说。
15．D off表示“in the sea but not far from the coast”，而on表示“在……之滨/河畔”。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。
1．B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。
2．A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。
3．D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。
4．A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。
5．A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。
6．B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。
7．B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘(土)，挖”；dig through“(为找……)在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” ；dig into“钻研”。
8．D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。
9．C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！来！”。
10．D 从词义上判断one line“一句话(台词)”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。
11．A “介词＋反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself 对(着)自己。
12．C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living，alive。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”；alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应；lively“生动的，活跃的”。
13．D “在第38小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。
14．B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “(各种)声音” ；voice “(人们说话的)嗓音”；noise“(不悦耳的)噪音”；tone“(人们说话的)语气，语调”。
15．B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would ＋动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16．A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
17．C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are...left“还有……剩余下来”。
18．C 14...out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。
19．D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room，make space 意为“(有意识地)为……腾出空间”。
20．A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。
Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 本文属于节能环保类。作者通过讲述太平洋岛国Nauru由过去的平静美丽到后来的由于盲目开发磷酸盐矿及政府滥用资金而造成的生态灾难，警示其他国家要引以为戒。
1．B 事实细节题。根据文章第一段最后一句可知答案。
2．C 推理判断题。由文章前两段可知，Nauru是一个“beautiful”且“remote”的国家，再根据第五段的lovely island，可以推断出答案。
3．B 事实细节题。根据文章第五及第七段可知，磷酸盐矿是露天矿，开采时要去除表层土壤，取走想要的材料，完全破坏了土地，可爱的土地最终看起来像月球一样。90%的土地被破坏了，他们变得一无所有。
4．A 事实细节题。根据文章第七段“Unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars...By 2000，Nauru was almost financially ruined.”可知答案。
5．A 推理判断题。由文章最后一段倒数第二句，专家说将会花费大约433,600,000美元，需要20多年来修复该岛，故选A。
Ⅴ.1.We are faced with a serious problem at present. 2.My brother has a wide range of interests. 3.That is a small town situated south of Beijing. 4.She moved to London last May and has got a job on a newspaper ever since. 5.Opposite the school are two bookstores.
综合检测(一)
1．A 句意：坐落在长江三角洲的中国最大也是最具活力的城市上海，正在国家经济中起着主导的作用。从句子结构看，逗号后为由which引导的非限制性定语从句，定语从句缺谓语。situate使位于；使处于，为及物动词，后需接宾语，不常用；be situated in/on/at坐落于/位于……；综上，选A项。

4．C 考查倍数表达法。此处是“倍数词＋the length/size/weight...＋of＋比较对象”结构，more than twice“两倍多”，答语的意思是“飞碟的翅膀是机身长度的两倍多”。
5．B 本题考查倒装句。句意：从拥挤的公交车上走下来一个高个子男人，他穿着一身黑色套服，向一位女士挥手。副词away，out，in，here，there等置于句首，且主语为名词时，主、谓语要全部倒装，故本题答案为B项。

8．D 句意：在2012年，中国人民情绪高昂，因为许多令人激动的消息相继而来。step by step一步一步地；one by one一个接一个地；little by little一点一点地，渐渐地；one after another一个接一个，相继地。one by one等于one after another，不过one by one通常强调的是顺序，而one after another则强调数量。综上所述，本题答案为D项。
9．A 句意：在美国一些地方的口语中，单词结尾的字母r的发音通常被略掉。通过句意可知sounds和drop为被动关系，故排除B、D两项；另外，句子所提到的事情为一种现象，应为一般现在时。
10．C 考查主谓一致及时态。此处Chen Fang是主语，故用单数谓语动词；根据in a month可知用将来时。
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。“无家可归的人”不只在发展中国家存在，在德国这样的发达国家同样存在。本文讲述了Kurt Muller夫妇如何在德国为“无家可归的人”提供各种各样的帮助，及如何向公司及公众发起为“无家可归的人”进行捐赠活动的事迹。
11．B 读文章第一段可知，无论何时我们听到“无家可归的人”，我们中的大部分人会想到发展中国家。但是事实是任何地方都有“无家可归的人”。四个选项中只有B符合题意。
12．D 根据常识我们知道德国不属于发展中国家，故排除B，又因为traditional“传统的”和typical“典型的”跟“无家可归的人”没有关系，故选D，即像德国这样富裕的国家也有“无家可归的人”。
13．C 由下文的“made sandwiches”可知，此空要用meals。
14．A 他们首次开始于一个漫长而炎热的夏天，在那时大部分德国人都离开家去度假了。这里是指他们开始帮助“无家可归的人”其他选项均不符合题意，故选A。
15．D “were away”指离开家。A：睡着；B：单独的；C：横过，在对面；D：离开。
16．B 根据前文可知，Kurt Muller夫妇没有去度假而是待在家里做三明治并且在街道上摆放了一张桌子，给“无家可归的人”提供食物。A：教育，培养，提出；B：摆放，竖起；C：放在一边；D：分发，泄露。
17．A 通读第二段可知，Kurt Muller夫妇发现只提供食物和衣服是不够的，“无家可归的人”还需要温暖和关心。necessary必要的；helpful有帮助的；expensive昂贵的，均不符合题意，故选A。
18．D 根据设空处前面的warmth，再根据下文所述，Kurt Muller夫妇把自己家的电话号码给了流浪者并且告诉他们可以在任何时候打电话，他们的家随时为他们开放可知选D项。caring关心，照顾，符合语境。
19．A hesitate to do sth.意为“做某事犹豫不决”。这里用否定形式表示Kurt Muller夫妇毫不犹豫地把电话号码留给流浪者。agree同意；pretend假装；intend打算，想要。
20．C 把电话号码留给流浪者之后，Kurt Muller的妻子Rita确保家里有人接听流浪者随时打来的电话。A：有意义，讲得通：B：发现，找到；C：确保，确信；D：算出，设计出。
21．A be open to对……开放，这里指Kurt Muller夫妇的家总是对任何在街上无法过夜的人开放。其他选项都不符合题意。
22．D 这对夫妇不久就花费了他们所有的时间和钱。cost花费，物作主语；waste浪费；take表示花费时常用it作形式主语。

24．C 如今有三十多家公司定期地给这个事业捐赠食物及其他物品。completely完全地，彻底地；calmly冷静地，平静地，安静地；regularly定期地，有规律地；roughly粗糙地，粗略地。
25．C 这里是指志愿者帮助把这些捐赠物品发放到无家可归者手里。A、B、D三项均不符合题意。
26．A 社会大众也提供了衣服和钱，并且有一位鞋商捐赠了新鞋。donate捐赠；produce生产；design设计；collect收集。
27．B Kurt Muller夫妇说他们从街头流浪者那里得到的爱就是他们的报酬，由此可知设空处选payment(报酬，回报)。A：许可；C：方向；D：支持。
28．D 根据句意及上下文内容可知，设空处用expect(期望，指望)。
29．C 最后一句话包含有though引导的让步状语从句，尽管Rita承认常常感到劳累，她说她会继续她的工作。
30．B make a profit赢利；make a difference(对某人/某事物)有作用或影响；make a decision作决定；make a rule制定规则。根据语境，选B项。
31．C 考查推理判断。文章介绍了夏威夷的人口分布、海滩、农产品、机场、汽车租赁、购物等方面的信息，其读者显然是来此的观光游客。
32．C 考查数字推算。文章开头说夏威夷的面积是4,028平方英里，人口为148,677，平均每平方英里约为36.9人，即选C，大约37人。
33．C 考查句意猜测。在介绍夏威夷的气温时，文章说终年平均温度为华氏71度到77度，“在更高的地方水银柱有望会降下来”，其含义显然是C，因为水银柱的高度与温度有联系，水银柱下降说明此处的温度降低。
34．A 考查细节理解。关于在夏威夷的旅游工具，文章提到了机场、出租车和租赁车辆，而没有提到火车，故选A。
35．B 这是一道归纳题，通过对文章第一段的分析可知，这些都是有电脑瘾的人常做的事。
36．D 根据Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.确定答案。
37．C 这是一道分析题，根据所举的例子，我们可以分析出这名大学生对电脑严重上瘾。
38．A 这是一道分析题，根据短文最后一段，我们可以看出作者在呼吁和提醒青少年不要上网瘾。
39．C 细节理解题。从第一段第三、四句可知答案为C项。

41．D 细节理解题。从第三段第二句中的until I realized that passing a person a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down，to take them out of their experience of sadness可知选D项。
42．B 推理判断题。通读全文尤其是第一段第一、二句以及第三段的第三句Now I just listen可知选B项。
【语篇解读】 本文为一篇记叙文，属励志类文章。讲述了海洋公园的小海豚Grace尽管没有尾巴，却能克服困难，用另外一种方式游泳，并且还要拍电影《海豚的故事》以激励人们要勇敢地面对困难。
43．C 细节理解题。由文章第二段可知，当这只海豚在2005年12月刚到海洋公园时，“she was fighting for her life”，它的训练员说“Is she going to make it”，由此我们知道，刚开始，它的训练员担心它能不能活下来。故正确答案为C项。
44．C 推理判断题。由文章第三段可知，小海豚Grace形成了它自己的游泳方式；由第五段内容可知，给海豚戴上人造尾巴不是为了让海豚舒服，而是为了让它保持一系列的动作，同时锻炼肌肉，也就是说，它带着人造尾巴的目的是调整游泳方式，故C项正确。
45．D 推理判断题。A项表示“坚持梦想”；B项表示“友好地对待动物”；C项表示“珍惜所拥有的”；D项表示“要勇敢地面对困难”。由文章内容可知，尽管小海豚Grace没有了尾巴，但是它克服了困难，以另外一种方式游泳，最后还提到，它要拍电影给人们带来鼓励，由此可知，这个故事是激励人们要勇敢地面对困难，故D项为正确答案。
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们这样一个道理：在生活中宁可多走绕行路，也不要在目标方向上走狭窄的路。因为在人生的绕行路上，你可能会欣赏到更美的风景。
46．B 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的We traveled the way most people do：the fastest，shortest，easiest road...可知，作者之所以这样走是因为这条路是最快、最短而又最好走的。故选B项。
47．C 细节理解题。由文章第五段中的“We had to stop every hour，let Banner shake out his legs and feed him.”可知，作者在路上每行驶一个小时就要停下来一次，目的是照顾一下刚出生不久的小羊。
48．B 推理判断题。在第六段作者讲述了自己沿途所看到的风景，她觉得这才是生活，由此可以知道，她觉得与大自然亲近可以增添生活的乐趣。
49．D 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的On an empty section of road，everyone started quarreling.I stopped the car，ordered all kids out...可知，孩子们在路上吵个不停，“我”停下车，让他们出去，目的是让他们冷静一下。
50．A 主旨大意题。文章讲述了作者去父母家和回自己家绕路的途中获得的乐趣，这也印证了著名诗人的那句话，由此我们可以概括出文章的标题：绕行路的魅力。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
(2012·山东高考)The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place.Now it is an ecological disaster area.Nauru's heartbreaking story could have one good consequence－other countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years，Polynesian people lived on the remote island of Nauru，far from western civilization.The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798.He was the British captain of the Hunter，a whaling ship.He called the island Pleasant Island.
However，because it was very remote，Nauru had little communication with Europeans at first.Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit，bringing guns and alcohol.These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started，which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island.In fact，it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate，which is a very important fertilizer for farming.The company began mining the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground；it is a strip mine.When a company strip-mines，it removes the top layer of soil.Then it takes away the material it wants.Strip-mining totally destroys the land.Gradually，the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.
In 1968，Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.Every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately，the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.In addition，they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.Soon people realized that they had a terrible problem－their phosphate was running out.Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.By 2000，Nauru was almost financially ruined.Experts say that it would take approximately D|S433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.This will probably never happen.
1．What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?
A．To seek help for Nauru's problems.
B．To give a warning to other countries.
C．To show the importance of money.
D．To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
2．What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A．Rich and powerful.
B．Modern and open.
C．Peaceful and attractive.
D．Greedy and aggressive.
3．The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from ________.
A．soil pollution B．phosphate overmining
C．farming activity D．whale hunting
4．Which of the following was a cause of Nauru's financial problem?
A．Its leaders misused the money.
B．It spent too much repairing the island.
C．Its phosphate mining cost much money.
D．It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.
5．What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A．The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B．The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.
C．The island was abandoned by the Nauruaus.
D．The phosphate mines were destroyed.

课时作业(一)
Ⅰ.1.ancient 2.birthplace 3.galleries 4.landmarks 5.symbol 6.sculptures 7.range 8.situated/located 9.project 10.civilisation
Ⅱ.1.A 考查非谓语作状语。face sth./be faced with面临；面对， 句子的主语Steven Jobs与face是主动关系，所以第一个空填facing, 与with连用时，需用faced.
2．C 考查非谓语动词。ranging...在此作伴随状语。
3．D 句意：据说我们正生活在信息时代，一个充满了新发现和巨大变革的时代。本题考查冠词的用法。第一空后的“信息时代”是由普通名词构成的专有名词，前面需用定冠词the；time表示“时代”时为可数名词，第二空处为泛指，表示“一个……的时代”。故答案选D。
4．D 考查名词辨析。句意：在中国桃是长寿的象征，常出现在生日聚会上。symbol象征；符号，符合句意。example例子，榜样；feature特点；mark记号，标记，均不符合句意。
5．D 考查时态。ever since意为“自从……”，常与现在完成时连用。
6．C 句意：尊敬的贵宾朋友们，欢迎来到我们学校，今天来参加学校50周年仪式的有来自国内和国外的校友们。这是一个“表语＋系动词＋主语”的全部倒装语序。
7．A 句意：三分之一的国土被树木覆盖，大多数的市民是黑人。分数或百分数＋of＋名词作主语，谓语与of后的名词一致，第一空填is；第二空前的主语是citizens为可数名词复数，故填are。
8．C 句意：Well Hotel坐落在湖泊那头一个安静的地方，远离主路。考查介词辨析。off距，离，到(远至某处)，离开。又如：The town is still five miles off.那小城尚在五英里以外。
9．B 句意：我们很幸运，一下公共汽车就找到了邮局，它就在公交车站的对面。correct正确的；opposite对面的；across在……对面，要用across the bus stop；straight直的。由句意可知选B。
10．D 本题主要考查词语辨析。本句为“It takes sb. some time to do sth.”句型。第一个空应选择动词，through和across均为介词，B、C两项应予以排除。第二个空应使用过去分词形式called或named，所以正确答案为D。
11．B 句意：在所有我养过的动物中，这两只狗对语言最敏感。此题考查介词的用法。此处of用来表示范围，在……之中。
12．C 句意：就在我们的房子前面有一棵一千年历史的大树。表示方位的介词短语置于句首且主语为名词(短语)，句子的主谓需全部倒装。
13．A situated意为“坐落于”，过去分词形容词化作定语修饰Qingdao。
14．D 答话者体现了分享对方快乐的方式，所以用I'm glad to hear that. That's very nice of you. 用于别人主动提供帮助而自己愿意接受时说的话。句意：——我们五一节在青岛过得很愉快。——哦，很高兴听你这么说。
15．D off表示“in the sea but not far from the coast”，而on表示“在……之滨/河畔”。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇故事情节较强的记叙文。文章讲述了“父亲如何履行自己曾对儿子许下的诺言”，故事生动、感人，极富吸引力。
1．B only to do sth.“结果却，不料”，作结果状语，表示该结果在主语的预料之外；现在分词作结果状语，表示由主句所产生的逻辑上的结果。 realize在脑海里经过思维“认识到，了解”；find在表面上就能“发现，看出”。
2．A 这四个选项都是英语成语，根据本段第一句an 8.2 earthquake almost flattened America判断，选择A项。
3．D 从意义上判断，“他想起了他曾对他儿子许下的诺言”；memorized是“背诵，熟记”。
4．A 从结构上分析，该句是省略了谓语动词的省略句，省略谓语之后，意义仍然清楚，如不省略动词，则使用第三人称单数happens。从意义上分析，可排除C、D项。
5．A 表示“流泪”，这几个动词都可能表示这种意义，但句式搭配不同，其表现形式分别为Tears fill his eyes；Tears come into his eyes；He bursts into tears。
6．B 从上下文意义判断，“他不停地想起他对他儿子许下的诺言”。
7．B 动词和动词短语是完形填空设项的重点之一。此题要分清这四项的不同含义。dig及物动词，“掘(土)，挖”；dig through“(为找……)在……里挖掘”；dig out “发掘出” ；dig into“钻研”。
8．D 从结构上分析，应该用现在分词作伴随状语，用and则表示并列，用said。
9．C Come on表示劝说，不耐烦，意为“得啦！来！”。
10．D 从词义上判断one line“一句话(台词)”，A项中的one word干扰性较大，它表示“一个词”，如用words 是正确的。
11．A “介词＋反身代词”有固定含义，for oneself独自地，亲自；by oneself单独地；of oneself自行地，自动地；to oneself 对(着)自己。
12．C 这四个词都有“活着的”之意，live仅用作定语，作表语用living，alive。living和alive在意义上有细微差别，living可作定语和表语，含有“本以为死了，然而还活着”；alive作表语和后置定语，其含义与dead相对应；lively“生动的，活跃的”。
13．D “在第38小时的时候，……”，序数词之前要用定冠词。
14．B 注意这四个词的区别：sound “(各种)声音” ；voice “(人们说话的)嗓音”；noise“(不悦耳的)噪音”；tone“(人们说话的)语气，语调”。
15．B 这是表将来的虚拟语气，主句中用would ＋动词原形，从下文的句子中也能找到类似的句子。
16．A 从意义上判断，“如果你来救我，他们也会得救”是条件状语从句，应该用if 引导，然而选项中没有if，when与if同义，引导条件状语从句。even if 引导让步状语从句。
17．C 此题包含一个固定句型：There are...left“还有……剩余下来”。
18．C 14...out of 33 意为：33人中有14人活下来。out of “从……里面”。特别注意此题中的介词与前面的left没有任何联系。如果没有意识到这点，极可能会选错。
19．D 从意义上判断，“房屋倒塌时，自然形成的三角空隙”。而make room，make space 意为“(有意识地)为……腾出空间”。
20．A 从上下文意义判断，此句为原因状语从句。
Ⅳ.【语篇解读】 本文属于节能环保类。作者通过讲述太平洋岛国Nauru由过去的平静美丽到后来的由于盲目开发磷酸盐矿及政府滥用资金而造成的生态灾难，警示其他国家要引以为戒。

B
(2013·四川高考)On a sunny day last August，Tim heard some shouting.Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.
Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters，a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head，” Tim recalls(回忆)．“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so，he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point, I considered turning back，”he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys，“Take down the umbrella！”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let's aim for the pier(码头)，”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat，and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim？”he cried.“A little bit，”the boys said.
Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.
“Are we almost there？” they asked again and again.“Yes，”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.
5．Why did the two boys go to the sea?
A．To go boat rowing.
B．To get back their football.
C．To swim in the open water.
D．To test the umbrella as a sail.
6．What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．The beach. B．The water.
C．The boat. D．The wind.
7．Why did Tim raise his head regularly?
A．To take in enough fresh air.
B．To consider turning back or not.
C．To check his distance from the boys.
D．To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.
8．How did the two boys finally reach the pier?
A．They were dragged to the pier by Tim.
B．They swam to the pier all by themselves.
C．They were washed to the pier by the waves.
D．They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.1.governed 2.signed 3.agreement 4.representatives 5.compare 6.belongs
Ⅱ.1.C not a bit和not at all都是“一点也不”的意思。根据语境，应该用not a little，意思是“很，非常”。
2．B 句意：我确信，从资历、能力和经验来说，你非常适合我们心中的这个位置。in terms of“从……方面来说”符合题意。
3．B 考查时态和语态，由题意可知Oetzi是在1992年被发现。因此用一般过去时的被动语态。
4．C 考查主谓一致和词义辨析。主语中心词是Jones，是单数，所以谓语用单数形式；根据应答句中No wonder后的从句意思可知，此处指“去了某地(没回来)”，用have (has)gone结构，选C项。
5．D 分数表达中分子大于1时，分母需用序数词的复数形式，所以2/5应写为two fifths；当分数、百分数＋of＋名词作主语时，谓语动词与名词(land)保持一致，故选D项。
6．C 句意：四川省位于中国的西南部，覆盖面积485平方公里，在中国人口数量最大，它是中国其中一个面积最大的，最不容易到达的省份。________ in southwest China and ________ an area of 485,000 square kilometers with the largest population in China是定语修饰Sichuan Province，locate与它是被动关系，故用过去分词形式；cover与它是主动关系，故用其现在分词形式。
7．B on the other hand常被用来比较两个不同的事情或观点，常与on the one hand连用；for one thing常与and for another连用表示“一来……二来……”，常用来列举理由；in other words表示“换句话说”；as a matter of fact表示“事实上”。根据句意“我想得到一份薪水更高的工作，但从另一方面来说，我非常喜欢我现在的工作。”可知应选B项。
8．B 句意：和在线用QQ面试相比，亲自面对面地面试可以给人们提供更多可靠的信息。compare with意为“与……比较起来”，符合句意。
9．D 此题考查的是倍数＋as... as句型，第二个as和比较对象一起省略了。补充完整应该是where he get paid five times as much as in our school，故选D。
10．B 句意：如果您的电话在两分钟之内未被接听，建议您挂断后再拨打。操作说明常用一般现在时表达。
Ⅲ.【语篇解读】一条聪明勇敢的德国狗带来了消防员，使主人家的房子得以避免被烧毁。
1．C 推理判断题。根据第一段的through winding roads to the house in an isolated area以及第四段中消防员迷路的语境，可知Ben的住所非常偏僻。
2．C 细节理解题。根据第三段的But he suddenly remembered the dog was still in the workshop and ran back to fetch him.可知Ben跑回车库是为了救他的狗。
3．B 推理判断题。根据末段的having twice driven bears away when he was fishing.可知Buddy以前救过它的主人。
4．A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的said Officer Holloway at a ceremony to honor the dog.可知应选A项。
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。全文记叙了Tim成功地从海中解救了两个12岁男孩的故事。
5．B 细节理解题。由第二段的Two 12-year-old boys...search for a football.可知B项正确。
6．D 词义猜测题。文中第二段后三句意为：他们一把船划出静水区，绑在船上的沙滩伞就遇到了风，然后把船拖进了开阔的水域。这两个男孩慌了，尽力想划回海岸。但是他们不是大风的对手，船失去了控制。此处的it指的是the wind。本题易误选B和C，但water和boat都是在wind的作用下才产生力量，所以与两个男孩对抗的是the wind。
7．C 细节理解题。由第四段I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.“我在尽力弄清楚如何以最近的路线游到男孩们那里”可知，此处Tim抬头是为了确认他与孩子们之间的距离。A项“吸入足够的新鲜空气”文章未提及，B项“考虑是否要返回去”，由下文可知只是作者一时的想法，而不是每次抬头都会考虑，D项“要求男孩们把伞放下来”是他游到男孩附近才说的，故均排除。
8．A 细节理解题。由倒数第三段中的．..Tim decided...to pull the boys toward the pier.可知男孩们是被Tim拖到码头边的。所以A项符合题意。
Ⅳ.1.I became interested in reading little by little.
2．Compared with/to cars，bicycles have many advantages.3.He took away the bag not belonging to him by mistake.4.This country now has a population of about 110 million. 5.Parents should have some control over what their children are doing online.
