模块9 Unit 3 Australia[上学期]

Unit 3 Australia
（一）教材分析：
本单元的中心话题是“澳大利亚”，主要内容涉及澳大利亚的地理、历史、主要城市、自然风光、野生动植物、风俗习惯等内容。语言技能和语言知识都是围绕这一中心设计的。
热身（Warming-up）部分用几幅关于澳洲的大城市和著名的风景点的图画，过渡到这个单元的课题，并引出与下面阅读课文相关的词汇和背景知识。
读前部分旨在训练学生的阅读技巧，要求学生快速浏览五篇短文后，回答前面的这个部分设计的三个问题。
阅读部分包含五篇主题相同却风格各异的短文，百科全书选段、新闻报道、广告、明信片、旅游手册文章，从多角度概叙了澳大利亚的国家全貌。理解部分由三项练习组成，练习1和“读前”部分相呼应，也是要求学会快速阅读课文，旨在训练略读技巧。练习2要求学生仔细回答仔细细读课文，同时标出自己以前不了解的一些关于澳大利亚的信息，列出其中最有意思的五项，并与同伴交流讨论。这个练习从形式上看比较简单，但他能使学生对文中信息进行主动加工，从认知层面提升到思维层面，从而书本上的知识纳入了自己的知识体系。练习3是对课文内容的拓展，训练学生的逻辑思维能力和表达能力。由于五篇短文大多是陈述性和描叙性的语言，而没有表达个人的观点的语句，因此，该练习借用文中提到的一些事实发问，以激发学生对文章内容的深沉思考。问题的答案不能从文中直接找到，要求学生有理有据地说出自己的观点。
“语言学习”部分由词汇和语法两部分组成。词汇部分练习1匙一个含11个空的语篇，要求学生用课文中出现的生词填空。练习2也是个语篇题，内容是关于澳大利亚早期移民的艰苦生活。这个练习要求学生首先阅读短文，看看其中画线单词是否认识，不要着急查词典，先试试猜一猜的它的意思，并写在“你的释义”一栏中。最后，再查英英词典，将你不认识的单词的定义写在“定义”一栏中。这项练习包含了两种重要的词汇策略：1）根据上下文猜测生词的意思； 2）。用英语给英语单词下定义。练习3也包含了两种重要的词汇学习策略。即“学一个记一串”， 以一个单词为中心，衍生出与之相关的派生词和合成词。这个练习给予学生充分的联想空间，既巩固了课文生词，又复习了旧词，还通过同伴之间相互交流认识了更多的生词，一举多得。 语法部分复习的重点是“表语”。 三个练习所用的语篇虽然不同，但任务是一样的，都是要求学生辨认表语的各种形式。
语言的运用分为“听说”和“阅读讨论” 两部分。 听力材料为魏平和他的好友之间的一段对话---鲍勃劝说魏平去野营，但魏平有所顾忌。练习1介绍听力内容发生的背景，并让学生预测魏平为什么对露营敢到紧张，他有可能害怕什么。“阅读讨论”部分的主要内容是关于澳大利亚的几种危险动物展开。
辩论部分提供的题目是：澳大利亚是一个危险的旅游地点。
写作是读写结合的任务型活动。而这一任务又是前面“阅读”和“辩论”的延续。学生通过前面部分获得的有关澳大利亚危险野生动物信息和“辩论”部分的总结，自己对“露营是否安全”这一问题给予回答。

Supplement materials of debate
Introduction
A debate round has two teams with two debaters each and a Speaker. The Speaker serves as both the judge and arbiter of the rules during the round. Note here that "Speaker" always refers to the judge from this point forward. One team represents the Government, while the other represents the Opposition. The Government team is composed of a Prime Minister, who speaks twice, and a Member of Government, who speaks once. The Opposition team is composed of a Leader of the Opposition, who speaks twice, and a Member of the Opposition, who speaks once. The Government proposes a specific case statement, which the government team must demonstrate to be correct. The Opposition does not have to propose anything, but must demonstrate that the case statement is not correct. The Speaker decides at the end of the round, based on the arguments made in the round, whether the Government has proved its case or whether the Opposition has disproved it. The team which met its burden more convincingly wins.
Rules of Debate Rules of Debate
(condensed from Competitive Debate: Rules and Techniques,
by George McCoy Musgrave. New York: H.W. Wilson, 1957)
1. There are two teams, each consisting of two or three speakers.
2. Each team has two or three constructive speeches, and two to three rebuttal speeches. The affirmative gives the first constructive speech, and the rebuttals alternate: negative, affirmative, negative, affirmative. The affirmative has both the first and last speeches of the debate.
3. When worded as a proposition of policy, the topic requires the affirmative to support some specified action by some particular individual or group. The affirmative has the right to make any reasonable definition of each of the terms of the proposition. If the negative challenges the reasonableness of a definition by the affirmative, the judge must accept the definition of the team that shows better grounds for its interpretation of the term.
4. The affirmative must advocate everything required by the topic itself. No revision of position of a team is permitted during the debate.
5. He who asserts must prove. In order to establish an assertion, the team must support it with enough evidence and logic to convince an intelligent but previously uninformed person that it is more reasonable to believe the assertion than to disbelieve it. Facts must be accurate. Visual materials are permissible, and once introduced, they become available for the opponents' use if desired.
6. In the questioning period, the questioner may ask any fair, clear question that has a direct bearing on the debate. The questioner may use the period to build up any part of his own case, to tear down any part of his opposition's case, or to ascertain facts, such as the opposition's position on a certain issue, that can be used later in the debate. The questioner must confine himself to questions and not make statements, comments, or ask rhetorical questions.
7. Each speaker is questioned as soon as he concludes his constructive speech. The witness must answer the questions without consulting his colleagues.
8. No new constructive arguments may be introduced in the rebuttal period. The affirmative must, if possible, reply to the major negative arguments before the last rebuttal.
9. The judge must base his decision entirely on the material presented, without regard for other material which he may happen to possess.
10. Any gains made outside of the established procedure are disallowed.

Listening text
A CAMPING HOLIDAY
Wei Ping (P) is studying at university in Australia. Just before the summer holidays his friend Bob Martins (B) invites him to go camping. Wei Ping
is a little nervous about this.
B: Here is your coffee.
P: Mmm. Thanks.
B: So have you finished all your work for
this term
P: Yes, I’ve just finished the last essay.
Now I am really looking forward to the
holidays.
B: Oh Have you got anything planned
P: No, not really.
B: Well, why don’t you come camping
with me and my friends
P: Oh, that’s very kind of you but …
B: But
P: Well, you see I’m terrified of snakes.
B: Really Oh, you don’t have to worry.
Snakes are scared of humans and they
move away as soon as they hear you
coming. Just remember to make a lot
of noise with your feet.
P: Yes, but what if one is hiding under
some wood and I disturb it
B: Well, the best thing is not to move any
large pieces of wood. Oh, and as much as
possible, avoid walking in really long
grass where you can’t see what’s on the
ground. And if you do have to walk
through long grass, you should wear
boots and long trousers that you can fold
inside your boots. Then, if a snake did try
to bit you, it wouldn’t
get to your skin.
P: I don’t know. It still sounds dangerous.
B: Look, most snakes can’t kill you
anyway. And we always stay in
camping grounds that have short grass
so we hardly ever see snakes. And
when we go into the bush we always
make a lot of noise.
P: Bushes Are we going to walk through
bushes
B: No, the Bush! That’s what Australians
call the part of the countryside where
there aren’t any houses or farms or
other signs of humans. You know, the
natural areas with trees and grass and
native animals.
P: Oh, I see. So, when you go into the bush
you must wear boots and long trousers.
You shouldn’t move anything that is
lying on the ground and you must make
a lot of noise so the snakes run away.
B: You’ve got the right idea. But I don’t
think you’ll be able to make the snakes
run away.
P: But you said…
B: Snakes don’t have legs, mate.
Reading on P27
AUSTRALIA’S DANGEROUS CREATURES
A funnelweb spider
A box jellyfish
A brown snake
A great white shark
A saltwater crocodile
How many poisonous snakes and how
many poisonous spiders are there in
Australia Are they all capable of
killing humans
115 different kinds of snakes and most of the 2,000 different kinds of spiders. Only a few kinds of spiders and snakes are capable of killing humans.
2. What effect do most jellyfish have on
humans What about box jellyfish
Most jellyfish can cause severe pain to anyone who touches them but only the box jellyfish can kill a human.
4. What kind of crocodile has occasionally
attacked a human
The saltwater crocodile.
In your group discuss the best ways to protect yourself from each of the dangerous animals in the reading passage. The following information may help you.
How to protect yourself from these dangerous animals
Saltwater crocodiles are found a long way from settlements only in the far north of Australia near rivers and waterholes. There are usually signs to warn people that crocodiles are in the area. Crocodiles stay hidden
in the water or on the land
close to water.
Many beaches have shark nets to keep sharks away from swimmers. In hot weather, small planes fly along the coast looking out for sharks. If one is spotted an alarm is sounded to warn people to get out of the water.
Spiders are usually found in dark, dry places, under stones or amongst rubbish. The poison is slow acting so there is plenty of time to get to the hospital.
When jellyfish are close to the beach, you usually find a few dead ones on the beach. Vinegar can help relieve the sting of jellyfish. If a person has trouble breathing or becomes unconscious, they should be taken to hospital immediately.
Debating
Australia is a dangerous place to visit.
Writing
Read this email and write a reply.
Dear _______,
I am thinking of going on a
camping trip in the Northern
Territory. The trip is organized
by a well-known tourist company
with a good reputation.
We will be camping some of the time in
Darwin and some of the time in Kakadu
National Park. It sounds like lots of fun and I
would see lots of wildlife, but I’ve heard so much
about the dangerous creatures in Australia that
I’m a bit scared about going out of the city.
Perhaps I’d be better staying in
Sydney. I know there are lots
of interesting things to see there
too. What do you think I should do
Best wishes,
Li Haidi
This email ask you for advice, so you should plan your replay carefully, you need to:
Tips
list all the reasons for and against
the trip;
decide on your point of view with
reasons;
put the reasons in the order of
importance;
Write your email in this way:
1. tell Li Haidi what you suggest
2. give each of your reasons in
one paragraph
Finish it in this way:
I hope you will find my advice useful.
Best wishes,
(your signature)
Dear Haidi,
Thanks for your email. How wonderful it is that you are going to Australia.
I think you’ll have a great time on the camping trip and you’ll get to see native animals in their natural setting. Also you’ll make some good friends on the trip, which is much more difficult while staying in a hotel in the city.

Don’t worry abut the dangerous creatures. They are not as dangerous as some people think and anyway you’ll be with an experienced tour guide who will keep you safe. Just do everything the guide says and you’ll have a safe and enjoyable time.
Do write again when you get back and tell me all about your trip.
Your friend,
John
Dear Haidi,
Aren’t you lucky going all the way to Australia I’m sure whatever you do, you’ll have a good time.
Personally, I would rather visit Sydney. I’m not very fond of sleeping in tents and I like to have my own nice, cleanbathroom. Also there are mosquitoes in the National Park and I always suffer from mosquito bites. Sydney is a
very nice city and the weather is usually good. There are all sorts of interesting places to see, like the Sydney Opera House and the harbor bridge, and there are lots of wildlife parks you can visit to see native animals. Plus there are lots of great shops and restaurants in Sydney and the nightlife is pretty good too.
I think you would have a good time
whichever holiday you went on. You’re more adventurous than me so you would probably enjoy camping. Don’t worry about the dangerous creatures--- you’ll be quite safe on an organized tour.
Have a good time wherever you go and write back and tell me about it. Love, Murray

Match each reading passage with a description below.
Skim the five short passages and find the answers to the questions in Exercise 1, Comprehending part.
Task 1
Skimming
Where do most Australians live
2. In what city do federal politicians
work

The south-eastern costal area of Australia.
Canberra.
20 million.
4. When is Australia Day
5. How far is it from Perth to Sydney
6. How many World Heritage Sites are
there in Australia
26th January.
4,352 kilometers
14.
7. Which part of Australia gets the most rainfall
8. Why do most people choose not to
climb Uluru
A few coastal areas.
Most people do not climb Ayers Rock out of respect for the Aboriginal people who consider the rock to be sacred.
9. What two Worlds Heritage Sites are named in these texts
Cradle Mountain National
Park &Uluru
Task 2
Now read the five texts again more carefully. Underline any information about Australia that you didn’t know before. Write down five facts that you consider to be the most interesting. Share your facts with others in your class.
Discuss questions with others in your class.
Task 3
Discussing
What kind of people do you think make Australia their home
People chose to settle in Australia might be :
1) want a better life than they had at home, a change of lifestyle or a challenge;
2) are attracted to the climate, the beauty of the country or the opportunity to improve the situation that they had in their original country; 3) have been forced to leave their country for some reason and must find somewhere else to live.
So we have a reason to believe that people who go to a new country to start again are likely to be courageous, curious and strong minded, and they enjoy challenges, since there might be tremendous hardships. They are probably confident of their abilities and open to new ideas and ways of doing things.
2. Each year large numbers of people become Australian citizens. Why do you think they choose to become citizens
They choose to become Australian citizens in order to feel truly a part of their new country,
to feel secure in their new country and know they cannot be made to leave, or to gain an Australian passport and enjoy the rights of a citizen. Only Australian citizens can vote so some may take a greater part in the political life of the country.
3. When do you think travelling by train across Australia would be appropriate and when do you think travelling by plane would be most suitable
Obliviously, if you have to get to your destination quickly, you would travel by plane.
It is also cheaper to travel by plane as these long distance trains are luxurious and therefore expensive. You might travel by train for the experience or to view the scenery on your journey. You might travel by train because you are frightened of flying.
4.In what part of Australia do you think most agriculture takes place Give reasons.
(Text 1 is most relevant for this question.) As you need water to grow things, farming is most suitable in the wetter, coastal areas of the country.
5. Why do you think the population of Australia is so small when it is such a large country
Part of the reason is that much of the centre of Australia is uninhabitable desert.
Another reason is that the Aboriginal population was fairly stable for thousands of years and others settled in the country just over two hundred years ago. A third reason is that the government has strict quotas on how many people can immigrate to the country.
1. Australia is a popular destination with tourists form all over the world who come to experience its unique ecology.

Discuss with a partner what is happening in each of the photographs below.
Surf lifesaving clubs are popular all over Australia. They were originally formed to provide a rescue service for swimmers who get into danger on beaches. The clubs are voluntary organizations whose members patrol the beaches for free. As well as carrying out lifeguard duties, the clubs hold many social events and competitions related
Background information
to the beach and swimming. Children between 7 and 15 can join as junior members, called nippers. The club provides activities for junior members at weekends and in the holidays. They receive training in lifesaving as well as taking part in healthy exercise at the beach.
As much of Australia’s coastline can be dangerous for inexperienced swimmers, surf lifesavers determine the safest place for people
to swim and place flags on the beach to show people where it is safe. Bathers are encouraged to “swim between the flags”.
Businesses and the community in general raise money or donate equipment such as boats and canoes, sun shelters, lifesaving equipment and flags. On weekends, when the volunteer lifesavers are at work, some town councils pay lifeguards to patrol the most popular beaches.
Several times during the summer, surf lifesaving clubs hold carnivals at which they display their lifesaving skills and hold competitions between different clubs. Each club has a different uniform, consisting of a swimming costume and a T-shirt. Lifesavers also wear caps in their club colors so that they can be easily identified when they are in the water.

sports club. They train to save lives
and when they aren’t watching over
the people on the beach they have all

What other organizations do you know that have flags What do they use them for
Why do countries have flags
A flag usually stands as a symbol
for that country. It can remind people
of some important values the nation
holds or something of its history or
culture. It is used on official occasions to
identify the nation to the rest of the
world.
2. What can flags tell you about a country Think of some examples.
They can tell people about the nations,
history, values or culture. For example, the
stars on the US flag represent the states in
the union. The cross on the Greek flag
symbolizes Christianity. The maple leaf on
the Canadian flag is the national emblem
of Canada.
3. What does China’s national flag tell us
The red color in the Chinese National
flag stands for the revolution, while the
gold color of the stars signifies the dawn
of a new era over the land. The five stars
grouped together symbolize the unity of
the Chinese people under the leadership
of the Chinese Communist Party.
3. What other organizations do you know that have flags What do they use them for
Red Cross Society, the Olympic Games,
companies, etc.

Listening text
June is giving a talk about Australian flags
and what they tell people about the history and
culture of Australia.
Good afternoon, everyone. My hobby is
collecting flags from all over the world. I love
flags for two reasons. The first is that they
are beautiful and the second is that you can
learn a lot about the culture and history of a
country by studying its flags. Today I’d like
to show you some Australian flags and discuss their significance. Now, this one is the official Australian flag. It was chosen in 1901 following a competition to design a flag especially for Australia. Before that date Australia had the same flag as Great Britain. The British flag is now in the top left quarter of the Australian flag to remind people of Australia's historical ties with Great Britain. The five stars represent the Southern Cross
which is an important group of five stars in the southern hemisphere. Navigators use the Southern Cross to show them the direction of the South Pole. The other big star under the British flag represents the six states and the combined territories of Australia.
This flag has been the official Aboriginal flag since 1995. The black in the top half of the flag symbolizes the Aboriginal people themselves, while the red at the bottom
symbolizes the earth and the Aboriginal people's spiritual connection to the earth. The yellow circle in the middle represents the sun, the giver of life. This next flag was first flown in 1854 at a place called Eureka where a group of gold miners rebelled against the government. The incident is seen by many as the beginning of the movement towards democracy in Australia. The five stars represents the Southern Cross and the light
blue background is believed to represent
the blue shirts that many of the gold miners wore. Although not an official flag, it is recognized and loved by most Australians.
This is another flag that you often see in Australia, especially at sporting events. The kangaroo is recognized as the unofficial animal emblem of Australia and green and gold are the colors worn by many Australian
sporting teams when they travel overseas.
The flag first became popular in 1983 when it was flown on Australia’s entry to the America’s cup --- a famous yacht race which Australia won that year.
Some people feel it is time to change Australia's official flag because it is no longer appropriate to have the British flag in the most important part of the flag. The other flags you see here were designed for a competition for a new flag but so far none have been accepted.
Speaking
In groups, discuss the four designs for a new flag. What does each of the new flags tell you about Australia Which one do you think is the best
In groups, discuss what symbols you would put on a flag for your school, Then design a suitable flag. Show your design to the rest of the class and explain it.
Talking on P68
Discuss what does each sign mean. Use
expressions like:
You’re not allowed… You mustn’t …
You can/can’t … You have to…
You should… It’s OK to…
Be careful … Look out!
Reading Task on P72
The computers at Susan’s school are all connected to each other and the school has an online notice board where students can ask questions and give their opinions. Susan posted a question about the discovery of Australia on the online notice board. Read the questions and what her fellow students replied.
Discovery of Australia
40,000 + years ago People from Asia settled in the place we now call Australia. The continent was then cut off from Asia 10,000 years ago.
1421 Some people think a Chinese fleet led by Zheng He may have visited Australia.
1606 A Dutch sea captain first mapped the north coast.
Discovery of Australia
1644 Abel Tasman made a map on which he combined all known land and guessed the rest.
1770 Captain Cook sailed up the east coast of the continent
1802 Mathew Flinders sailed around the continent, mapped it and called it Australia.
Discussion
Why do you think school children in Australia in the 1950s were told that Captain Cook discovered Australia
Captain Cook claimed the land for Britain and as Australia was originally settled by people form Britain, this is the part of the history that they were taught.
2. Why does Mary White think European explorers didn’t discover the Australian continent until the 17th century
Before 1644, explorers didn’t know they had found a continent. They just visited small parts of it.
3. Why does Nick Chance think Chinese explorers reached the continent so much earlier
He read about the Chinese explorers on the Internet.
4. Patrick Hall says that the ancestors of the Aborigines discovered Australia at least 40, 000 years ago. Why do you think the other children didn’t give this answer
They may have thought that Aborigines always lived on the continent so they didn’t think they discovered it.
5. Which of the student's answers do you agree with and why Remember , that you first need to decide what “ discovered” means and what “ Australia” means.
Many possible answers will depend on how students interpret discovered and
Australia.

Read the paragraph below, paying particular attention to the underlined words, some of which may be new to you. Try to work out the definitions of these words and write them down in the second column. Then check your answer using an English-English dictionary and write the dictionary definitions in the third column.
The first migrants arrived in Australia after a long voyage on small sailing ships. Life was very tough at first because they did not have adequate equipment or food. One of the first things they did was to dig the soil and sow vegetable seeds. However, it wasn’t easy to grow enough food for everyone and in the first few years they faced starvation. Despite all the hardships
of those early years, many of the migrants succeeded in building a good life for themselves. In the early days, There were not nearly as many women migrants as there were males, so many of the men remained bachelors. Many dreamed of having a wife who would share their life and work alongside them as they built houses and established
farms. Within a reasonably short time some had established large sheep farms and began to export meat and wool back to England. We know a lot about these early years of European settlement because most migrants corresponded with their families at home and many of their letters still survive. These early settlers owed their survival to hard work and determination to succeed.

1.
A kangaroo kept getting out of his enclosure at the zoo. Knowing that he was a good jumper, the zoo authorities increased the height of the fence around him, but, the next morning, the kangaroo was out of his enclosure again.
So the keepers’ solution was to build an even higher barrier. However, the next morning, the result was disappointing--- the kangaroo was not in his enclosure. The authorities, being desperate, increased the height of the fence again and again and it was soon over forty meters high.
A camel in the next enclosure asked the kangaroo, “How high do you think they’ll go ” The kangaroo said, “ That's a good question. It seems to me, they’ll just keep going higher until somebody remembers to shut the gate at night!”
Underline the predicatives in this conversation and then practise it with a partner.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.
　　The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港口).The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea-bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete(混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man-made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.
　 People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.
36. What was suggested about the construction of a new city at sea
A. The city was to be designed together with a harbor.
B. The walls around the city would be made of steel and glass.
C. The building of the city would rest on a floating island.
D. The people would live in tall building surrounded by a wall.
37. How would fresh water be supplied to the city
A. By treating sea water.
B. By getting it from the surrounding islands.
C. By building a small lake of fresh water inside the city.
D. By transporting it from the mainland.
38. The suggestion made by the organization is to solve the problem that _______.
A. there is not enough space for building cities on land
B. land transportation has became increasingly difficult
C. there are too many people on land
D. present cities are heavily polluted by cars
39. The purpose of the writer is _______.
A. to suggest how new type of harbor could be built at sea
B. to give a description of a new-type city
C. to draw people's attention to the problem of air pollution
D. to introduce a new way of building harbor-cities

More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US school last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996---97, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.
“The report is a clear sign that our nation's public schools are cracking down(严惩) on students who bring guns to school,” Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.
Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high school, which have students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.
44. The main idea of the passage is that in the US schools _______.
A. students enjoy shooting
B. students are eager to be soldiers
C. safety is a problem
D. students can make guns
45. From what Richard Riley said we can infer that ________.
A. the number of the expulsions is not large
B. the number of the expulsion is wrong
C there are soldiers hiding among the students
D. guns are out of control in US schools
46. The main idea of paragraph four shows us ______.
A. some examples of shoot in US schools.
B. the American's feeling.
C. some famous schools.
D. that some teachers were killed by students.
47. From this passage we get to know that ________.
A. every American cannot have guns
B. only soldiers and police can have guns
C. every American citizen can own guns
D. teachers have no money to buy guns
D
All over the world, libraries have begun the Herculean(巨大的) task of making faithful digital copies of the books, images and recordings that preserve the intellectual effort of mankind. For armchair scholars, the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to desktop that the present Internet may not match.
Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First, it helps them preserve rare and fragile objects without refusing the demands of those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example, holds the only medieval manuscript（手稿）of Beowulf in London. Only qualified scholars were allowed to see it until Kevin S. Kiernan of the University of Kentucky scanned the Manuscript with three different light sources and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to use.
A second benefit is convenience. Once books are changed to digital form, readers can find them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can read the same book or view the same picture at the same time. Clerks are spared the chore of reshelving. And libraries could use the Internet to lend their collections to those who are unable to visit in person.
The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk rather than meters on a shelf. The cost of library buildings is increasingly high. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $ 46 million on an underground addition to house 1.5 million books----an average cost of $30 per volume. The price of disk storage, on the contrary, has fallen to about $ 2 per 300-page publication and continues to drop.
48. What is the message in the first paragraph
A. More people can read precious books.
B. The Internet provides more information.
C. Libraries are making efforts to preserve books.
D. Libraries are making digital copy of books.
49. Which words in the second paragraph help you to identify the supporting points
A. three, First, for example B. benefits, manuscript, scholars
C. helps, holds, scanned D. clear, qualified, different
50. Which of the following is mentioned in the text as benefits of going digital
A. Fewer staff will be required in libraries.
B. Libraries will be able to move underground.
C. Borrowers need not go to the library building.
D. Old manuscripts can be moved more easily.
51. How is the text organized
A. Opinion – Description B. Message – Explanation
C. Main idea – Comparison D. Introduction – Conclusion
E
Well, when the huge wave hit the boat, my safety belt broke and I was swept overboard. I don’t really understand how it happened, but it did. I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldn’t see another day, but I always thought I’d overcome the difficulties. At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boat’s lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didn’t see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but I’d never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperate——and frozen! It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me. Then another yacht appeared. These guys were terrific. They gave me dry clothes, and then one jumped into the bunk and hung onto me. They covered us with as much dry clothing as they could, and the guy in with me stayed to transfer his body heat to me.
52. The author of the passage was alone in the sea NOT because ______.
A. the wind was too strong B. the wave hit the boat
C. the safety belt was broken D. his boat was in the darkness
53. He was not saved by his crew because _______.
A. he didn’t yell out “Help!” B. 300 meters was long distance
C. he was not found D. he didn’t see the spotlight
54. It was inferred from the passage that _______.
A. he was swept overboard at about midnight
B. Wild One was the name of a crew member
C. he started ocean racing at about seven
D. he was too hopeless to take the last chance
55. One of the guys who saved him jumped into the bunk in order to ________.
A. cover him with more dry clothes
B. warm him with his body heat
C. comfort him
D. congratulate him

A possible version:
Dear Xu Ling,
It is important to have a sense of yourself. But you must learn how to care about others as well. Check yourself to see whether you were selfish sometimes.
Try to have a heart-to heart talk with your former friends, telling them how much you value their friendship.
Remember that the more effort you make, the more friends you will gain.
However, there are other possibilities for your friends’ leaving. Maybe their personalities no longer match yours. Maybe their goals differ from yours. It is very common to have friends come and go throughout your life.
Dear Editor,
I am a Senior 1 girl. I use to have a lot of friends. But they have left me, one after another. I don’t know why.
Some of them said I am a selfish girl, but I don’t know what I have done wrong. Could you help me
Yours,
Xu Ling
