(一)针对“钱是否能带来幸福”话题的正反观点
Some students think that money is so important that we couldn't survive without money. Besides, money can help us solve many problems in life. With enough money we can live a comfortable life. However, others hold the opposite opinion. They don't think money means everything. For example, money cannot buy health. If we attach too much importance to money, we cannot find the real meaning of life.
一些学生认为钱很重要，没有钱我们就无法生存。此外，钱可以帮助我们解决生活中的许多问题。有了足够的钱，我们就能过上舒适的生活。然而，其他人持相反的观点。他们不认为钱就是一切。例如，金钱不能买到健康。如果我们太重视金钱，我们就找不到生活的真正意义。
(二)针对“假期宅家还是外出旅游”话题的正反观点
Some are in favor of staying at home. They think it's both convenient and comfortable. What's more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world. However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and may meet some difficulties while traveling.
有些人赞成待在家里。他们认为它既方便又舒适。更重要的是，他们可以节省钱用于其他目的。但是他们会失去了解外面世界的机会。然而，其他人更喜欢出去旅游，因为它可以增加他们的知识，开阔他们的视野。但是他们会花更多的钱，在旅行时可能遇到一些困难。

Achievement Expo of China Aerospace
Today's trip to the Science and Technology Museum is really a memorable experience and this will be remembered forever.
All students visited an exhibition themed on “Achievements of China Aerospace”．First, we attended informative lectures and watched extremely exciting videos about launching rockets which allowed us to get deeper insights into China Aerospace.Then came the highlight, experiencing thrilling and funny spacewalks in almost zero gravity.
Amazed by the outstanding achievements and touched by the spirit of China Aerospace experts, I'll apply myself to my study so that I can make contributions to our country like them one day.
Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落结尾补写语段，使文章构成一篇完整的短文。
Carlos and Maya dreamed of becoming space explorers.
On their way home, Carlos and Maya saw a spaceship in the window of a toy store. They went inside the store to see how much it cost. They saw the price and it was too expensive. They tried to pool their money together but it still wasn't enough.
They left the store sad and disappointed. Carlos suddenly realized that his birthday was coming up. Maybe he could ask their parents to buy the spaceship as a gift for his birthday.
When they got home, Carlos ran straight to their mother and told her what he wanted for his birthday.
Their family didn't have much when it came to money. So, when their dad stopped by the store to see the toy that Carlos wanted, he found it was too expensive. They couldn't afford it.
On the day of his birthday, Carlos got up early, excited to see his gift. But when he got to the living room, he saw a spaceship that was made out of a cardboard box. His dad had made it for him. It had wings on each side and had enough space to ride in. It was a spaceship but it wasn't what he wanted.
Tears flowed (流) from Carlos' eyes and he ran back to his room. Maya had just woken up and saw their mom knocking on the door and asking Carlos to come out. But he didn't want to.
Maya got to the living room but couldn't see the spaceship they had seen, only the cardboard box. She saw their dad beside it, bent down (弯着腰) on one knee with his head down.
Maya didn't want her brother to be sad on his birthday. So she tried to think of a way to cheer her brother up. She looked at the cardboard spaceship and got an idea.
Carlos didn't have breakfast and now he was hungry. He was about to get out of bed when he heard a knock on the door. It was Maya. She said that they had a surprise for him.
(文章以彩蛋为线索展开。主要讲述了梦想成为太空探险家的Carlos和Maya热爱太空，在Carlos生日那天他的爸爸用纸板箱给他做一艘飞船。请根据上下文情节，结合以下线索提示，用80词左右描述一下Carlos在飞船里的见闻。线索：Carlos打开门看到Maya坐在纸板飞船里→Maya邀请Carlos坐在她前面驾驶宇宙飞船→Carlos和家人一起模拟太空宇宙飞船飞行的情景。)
________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________
A moment later, they stopped at the dinner table where there was a card that said“Best Restaurant in Space”. Carlos and Maya got out of the spaceship. As they were walking towards the table, they walked just like those spacemen shown on TV. After they ate, they got back in their spaceship. They spent all day in the spaceship. When it was time for bed, Carlos called out to his dad and said with a smile, “That was the best birthday gift ever. I love you, Dad！”
参考范文：
Carlos opened the door and just saw Maya was sitting in the cardboard spaceship. Maya invited Carlos to sit in front of her and drive the spaceship. He could see the excitement on Maya's face so he got in the spaceship. Then he heard their dad's voice. Their dad stood behind the spaceship and then started making the sound of a spaceship during lift-off and pushed the cardboard spaceship slowly. When they came into the living room, there were stars shining around the walls. He felt like he was in outer space.

阅读七选五
In today's world, technology is a part of daily life.In order to keep civilization hand in hand with technological advances, and to understand the connected future they will have, children in schools have to be taught technical skills.But how can teachers integrate (使……融入) technology into their classrooms Here are a couple of ways.
Teach acceptance of connected learning.In the information age, it's only right to teach kids how to jump at connected learning. 1 For example, a tablet PC could be used in art class to draw pictures or even signs for the school.
Use a video chat system to teleconference.The idea of pen pals can be strengthened by video chat systems. 2 In this situation, children will learn how to share experiences and build new relationships from a distance.Teleconferencing is a great way to teach children about teleconferencing etiquette (礼仪)． 3
Develop a class wiki or blog.In order to help get your students active in class lessons, you can use a blog or wiki to make them comment on lessons, topics and current events.Students should also be allowed to create new posts about news or their thoughts. 4
Create a podcast (播客) for your class.Technology is always about being seen. 5 It can also be used to be heard.With a classroom podcast, you can read passages from a textbook or a novel or schedule discussions on a certain topic that's in line with your curriculum.This will teach broadcasting skills, speaking skills and critical thinking skills.
A．This is a great way to improve creative writing.
B．You can also upload videos to a private channel.
C．However, it's wrong to think it's only about being seen.
D．This will show them how to solve complex math problems.
E．This includes using technology as a tool or a way to learn new concepts.
F．For example, you can teach children when it's alright to connect and how to act when on camera.
G．These systems can also be used to connect with students from other classroom that are far away.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何把科技引进课堂。
1．选E 上文提到“在信息时代，教孩子们如何进行联网学习是唯一正确的做法”。下一句具体举例说明信息时代中科技的用途，故E选项“这包括将技术作为学习新概念的工具或方式”符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。
2．选G 上文提到“可以使用视频聊天系统进行电话会议。视频聊天系统能强化笔友的概念”，G选项“这些系统还可用于连接来自距离很远的其他教室的学生”可以承接上文，且该选项中的“These systems”与上文的“video chat systems”相呼应，选项中的“also”也提示了句意与上一句存在承接关系。
3．选F 上文提到“电话会议是教孩子们学习电话会议礼仪的好方法”，F选项“例如，你可以教孩子什么时候可以连接以及在镜头前如何活动”承接上文，符合语境。
4．选A 上文提到“学生们应该也被允许创造关于新闻和他们想法的新帖子”，A选项“这是提高创造性写作的好方法”能够承接上文，符合语境。
5．选C 上文提到“技术总是会被看见”，下文则提到“它也可能被听见”，故C选项“然而，认为它仅仅能被看到是不对的”承上启下，符合语境。UNIT 4 课时检测(六) Writing

As they were walking towards the table, they walked just like those spacemen shown on TV. After they ate, they got back in their spaceship. They spent all day in the spaceship. When it was time for bed, Carlos called out to his dad and said with a smile, “That was the best birthday gift ever. I love you, Dad！”
