课件56张PPT。Inventors and inventionsUnit 3 Words and Their Stories:Grapevine(词汇掌故:小道消息)
The American inventor,Samuel F.Morse,is largely responsible for the birth of the expression.Among others,he experimented with the idea of telegraphy—sending messages over a wire by electricity.When Morse finally completed his telegraphic instrument,he went before Congress to show that it worked.He sent a message over a wire from Washington to Baltimore.The message was,“What hath God wrought?” This was on May twenty-fourth,eighteen forty-four.Quickly,companies began to build telegraph lines from one place to another.Men everywhere seemed to be putting up poles with strings of wire for carrying telegraphic messages.The workmanship was poor and the wires were not put up straight.
Some of the results looked strange.People said they looked like a grapevine.A large number of the telegraph lines were going in all directions,as crooked as the vines that grapes grow on.So was born the expression,by the grapevine.Some writers believe that the phrase would soon have disappeared were it not for the American Civil War.
Soon after the war began in 1861,military commanders started to send battlefield reports by telegraph.People began hearing the phrase by the grapevine to describe false as well as true reports from the battlefield.It was like a game.Was it true? Who says so?
Now,as in those far?off Civil War days,getting information by the grapevine remains something of a game.A friend brings you a bit of strange news.“No,” you say,“it just can't be true! Who told you?” Comes the answer,“I got it by the grapevine.”
You really cannot know how much—if any—of the information that comes to you by the grapevine is true or false.Still,in the words of an old American saying,the person who keeps pulling the grapevine shakes down at least a few grapes.Section Ⅰ Warming Up and Reading 栏目导航Ⅰ.Read the text and match the main idea with each paragraph.

Grandparents Answer a Call
(2016·全国卷I)As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing.Even President Obama's mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand,a magazine for grandparents.“We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you're raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.

B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled her to make more friends.

2.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson's decision?
A.17% expressed their support for it.
B.Few people responded sympathetically.
C.83% believed it had a bad influence.

解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知我们有点叛逆,想离家独立但不能。故选C。
4.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A.Make decisions in the best interests' of their own.
B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C.Sacrifice for their struggling children.

解析:A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,搬去照顾孙子孙女并不容易作出决定。有的愿意照顾孙子孙女,作出牺牲;有的拒绝,而是经常看望孙子孙女。作者暗示老人们作出决定,应该对自己最有利。故选A。

课件11张PPT。Inventors and inventionsUnit 3 Section Ⅱ Learning about Language栏目导航过去分词作定语、表语和宾语补足语
一、过去分词作表语
过去分词作表语时,总是在系动词(如be,appear,feel,remain,seem,look等)之后,构成系表结构。
①All the doors are locked.
所有的门都是锁着的。
②She is neatly dressed.
她衣着整洁。考点 语法细解③He felt thoroughly broken down.
他觉得身体彻底垮了。
④They seemed terribly shocked.
他们似乎极度震惊。
⑤The children looked puzzled.
孩子们都像是迷惑不解。二、过去分词作定语
过去分词作定语,在语态上,表被动;在时间上,表示动作已经发生或完成。
1.过去分词作定语有时也不表示时间性。例如:
①He is a teacher loved by his students.
他是个很受学生爱戴的老师。
2.也有用不及物动词的过去分词作定语的情况,一般作前置定语,它不表示被动意义,只强调动作完成。不能像及物动词的过去分词那样放在名词后面作定语。例如:
②fallen leaves 落叶
③retired workers 退休工人
④the risen sun 升起的太阳
3.过去分词前加一名词或副词,常用连字符将它们连接起来构成一个复合形容词,放在其修饰的名词前,作前置定语。分词前加的名词表示分词的动作或行为主体,所加的副词表示方式、时间、程度、性质等意义。例如:
⑤This is a state-owned factory.
这是一家国营工厂。
⑥This is our newly-built factory.
这是我们的新建的工厂。三、过去分词作补语(主补、宾补)
1.用过去分词作补语的动词有以下三类:
(1)表示感觉或心理状态的动词。如:see, watch, observe, look at, hear, listen to, feel, notice, think等。
①I heard the song sung in English.
我听到有人用英语唱过这首歌。
②He found his hometown greatly changed.
他发现他的家乡变化很大。(2)表示“致使”意义的动词。如:have, make, get, keep, leave等。
③I'll have my hair cut tomorrow.
明天我要理发。
④He got his tooth pulled out yesterday.
他昨天把牙拔了。
⑤Don't leave those things undone.
要把那些事情做完。
(3)表示“希望”、“要求”意义的动词。如:like,order,want,wish,expect等,后用 “vt.+(to be)+pp.”。
⑥I would like this matter (to be) settled at once.
我希望此事立刻得到解决。
⑦I wish my homework (to be) finished before five o'clock.
我希望5点前完成我的作业。
【注意】过去分词作补语还用在“with(without)+宾语+补语”结构中。例如:
⑧All the afternoon,he worked with the door locked.
整个下午,他都是锁着门干活。
⑨Without the job finished,I wouldn't dare to go home.
由于工作没有干完,我不敢回家。 2.过去分词作宾补时,要注意以下几种情况:
(1)使役动词have接过去分词作宾补有两种情况。
1)过去分词所表示的动作由他人完成。如:
⑩He had his money stolen.
他的钱给偷了。(被别人偷去了)
2)过去分词所表示的动作由句中的主语所经历。如:
He had his leg broken.
他的腿断了。(自己的经历)(2)过去分词在原句中作宾补时,如果原句变为被动语态,那么过去分词就在新句中作主补了。如:
The big fire is reported controlled.
据报道这场大火已经得到控制。
The meeting room was found thoroughly cleaned and everything arranged in good order.
人们发现会议室被彻底打扫了,一切都布置得井井有条。Unit 3 Inventors and inventions Section 2 Learning about Language
Ⅰ.单句语法填空

解析:考查过去分词作宾补。句意:在艺术评论时,你必须确信艺术家在他的作品里隐藏着秘密的信息。have sth.done使……被……。
2.Look, the falling(fall) leaves are all yellow. Lots of fallen(fall) leaves make the road yellow.
解析:句意:看,正在往下掉的叶子都黄了;许多落叶使道路成了黄色。第一空现在分词作定语,表示正在进行的动作;第二空过去分词作定语,表示被动完成的动作。
3.I heard someone calling(call) me when I came in.
解析:句意:当我进来时,我听见有人在叫我。hear sb.doing听见某人在做某事,强调when从句发生那个时间点正在进行的动作。
I heard my name called(call) when I came in.
解析:句意:当我进来时,我听见有人在叫我。name与call之间是被动的关系,故called是过去分词作宾补。
5.When he got into heavy debts, he found himself abandoned(abandon) by all his former friends.
解析:句意:当他债务缠身时,他发现自己被以前的朋友遗弃了。abandoned是过去分词作宾补,表示himself与abandon之间是被动的关系。
6.While the other children are running around and playing, the girl just stays seated(seat) under a tree, playing(play) with sand.
解析:句意:当别的孩子四处跑动玩耍时,这名女孩坐在一棵树下玩沙子。stay seated 坐着,stay是连系动词,seated过去分词作表语,表示坐的状态;playing是现在分词作伴随状语,表示动作由主语the girl发出。
7.It is true that books bought(buy) online are much cheaper.
解析:句意:的确,在线购买的书籍要便宜很多。bought是过去分词作定语,表示book与buy之间是被动的关系。
8.Have you ever seen a drama only made(make) up of three people, who play 10 different roles during the show?
解析:句意:你看过这样一个戏剧吗?只有三个人组成,在演出中扮演十个不同的角色。made是过去分词作定语,表示drama与make up of 之间是被动的关系。
9.I don't like the black roof and want it painted(paint) white.
解析:句意:我不喜欢这个黑色屋顶,我想将它漆成白色。want sth.+done想要……被……。
10.With his eyes fixed(fix) on the photo, Peter thought of the enjoyable days spent in the country in his childhood.
解析:句意:眼睛盯着那张照片,彼德想起了他童年在农村度过的美好时光。with+宾语+done结构,作伴随状语,宾语eyes与fix之间是被动的关系。
Ⅱ.单句改错
1.If the machine goes wrong and you want to get itlocally, you will need a Service Manual.
解析:句意:如果那台机器坏了,你想在当地修理它的话,你就需要一本“维修手册”。get sth.repaired请人修理某东西。
2.It was cold and damp; the man pulled up his collar and put his hands to hisface.
解析:句意:天气寒冷潮湿;这名男子竖起衣领,将手放在他冻僵的脸上。frozen被冻僵的;freezing极冷的。
3.He gave the third warning several minutes later, but the demonstrators remainedthere.
解析:句意:几分钟后他发出第三次警告,但示威者仍然坐在那儿。remain seated仍然坐着,seated过去分词作表语,表示坐的状态。
4.If you want to make yourself, you are above all to respect others.
解析:句意:如果你想让自己被尊重,你必须首先尊重别人。make oneself +过去分词“使自己被……”。
5.She reads the newspapers every day to keep herselfof the latest happenings in the world.
解析:句意:她每天读报,了解世界最新发生的事情。keep oneself informed of使自己了解……。
6.She was satisfied to see her children well taken care of in the nursery and there was aexpression on her face.
解析:句意:看到她的孩子们在托儿所受到很好的照顾,她很满意,脸上露出满意的表情。expression反映人的心理活动的名词,故常用过去分词来修饰。
7.Mr.White showed his students some old mapswere borrowed from the library.
解析:句意:怀特先生将他从图书馆借来的一些旧地图拿给他的学生看。分析句子成分,maps后面的部分是作定语,maps与borrow 之间是被动的关系,故borrowed相当于which/that were borrowed。
8.I amwith the result of the experiment.
解析:句意:我对试验结果很满意。be pleased with对……满意;pleasing令人满意的,修饰事物。
9.Leave thetrack occasionally and dive into the woods.
解析:句意:偶尔离开平路去寻求困境。the beaten track平路,固定搭配。
10.We saw the play being performed on TV yesterday.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
Bad news sells.If it bleeds, it leads.No news is good news, and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored(监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The‘if it bleeds' rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative, but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused(激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, “Contagious: Why Things Catch On.”

但是贝尔是在五天以后才跟他的助手华生通了第一次电话。
点拨:该句是 “It is/was not until+被强调部分+that+其他”结构,意为“直到……才……”。句中用了not…until…的强调句结构,此句型只能用until,不能用till。但如果不是用在强调句型中,till与until常可通用;另外主句中的否定词not 要提出来,放在until之前一起强调,因此that后面的从句要用肯定句,不能再用否定句。①He didn't go to bed until/till his wife came back.(正常句式)

直到他的妻子回来他才睡觉。
②They didn't start until the rain stopped.(正常句式)

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night's sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.
Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.
The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.
Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.
Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.
While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.
Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.
Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

The Science of Risk-Seeking
(2016·北京卷)Sometimes we decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth tasking.5.______ Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us.Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.
The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans.Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring.6______. As the quality of risk-taking was passed from one generation to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.
So why aren't we all jumping out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed.A few daring survived, though, along with a few stay?in?the?cave types.As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today.So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it.7_____.
No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.8______. To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risk as well.
9.______ For the risk-seekers, a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active.
As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we'll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.
A.It all depends on your character.
B.Those are the risks you should jump to take.
C.Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.
D.Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest.
E.This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world.
F.However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.
G.New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.
语篇导读
本文是说明文。作者讲述有关冒险科学的探索方面的内容。
5.F 解析:选项F中的weigh risks and rewards与上文的“when we weigh the risk and the reward…”相呼应。故选F。
6.C 解析:选项C中的“Being better at those things ”与上文的“ were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring”相呼应。故选C。
7.A 解析:前文说人有不同的性格,因此你可能喜欢赛车或讨厌赛车,故A项“这完全是由你的性格决定的”符合语境。
8.E 解析:根据上文的“your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years.”以及下文的“your brain increases your hunger for new experiences.”可知E项符合语境。
9.G 解析:根据空后的“For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active”可知,面对紧张的局面我们的大脑会有不同的反应。故选G。

6.解析:考查动词不定式。pretend后面接不定式作宾语,这里是否定式pretend not to do。
7.解析:考查情态动词的用法。would do过去往往会做某事;would have done本会做某事,但没有做,表示虚拟。这里指父母往往会聊天。

第七步:表明感激之情。无论你的请求是否能够得到满意的答复,你给用人单位写信就是给对方添了麻烦,因此你应向对方表明感激之情。【常用句型】

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。
December 15,2014
Dear Alfred,
I want to tell you how important your help is to my life.
Growing up, I had people telling me I was too slow, though, with an IQ of 150+ at 17, I'm anything but stupid.The fact was that I was found to have ADHD(注意力缺陷多动障碍).Anxious all the time, I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time.
However, when something did interest me, I could become absorbed.In high school, I became curious about the computer,and built my first website.Moreover, I completed the senior course of Computer Basics, plus five relevant pre-college courses.
While I was exploring my curiosity, my disease got worse.I wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn't. So, I was killing my time at home until June 2012 when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center.
Since then, I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics.Currently, I'm learning your Probability course.I have hundreds of printer paper, covered in self-written notes from your video.This has given me a purpose.
Last year, I spent all my time looking for a job where, without dealing with the public, I could work alone, but still have a team to talk to.Luckily, I discovered the job—Data Analyst—this month and have been going full steam ahead.I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession, without going to college, and be just as good as, if not better than, my competitors.
Thank you.You've given me hope that I can follow my heart.For the first time, I feel good about myself because I'm doing something, not because someone told me I was doing good.I feel whole.
This is why you're saving my life.
Yours,
Tanis
语篇导读
这是一封书信,作者有注意力缺陷,因此没能实现大学梦,但是一家培训中心的网站给了作者在线学习的机会,让她的生活有了目标,并且找到了一份好工作。
21.Why didn't Tanis go to college after high school?
A.She had learned enough about computer science.
B.She had more difficulty keeping focused.
C.She preferred taking online courses.
D.She was too slow to learn.
解析:B 细节理解题。题干的“不去读大学”告诉我们,本题的答案应该定位在第四段。该段说,作者的病情变得更糟了,因此不能去读大学,而这个疾病是第二段说到的ADHD,具体表现是注意力不能集中较长时间(unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time),这与B项叙述吻合。
22.As for the working environment, Tanis prefers_______.
A.working by herself
B.dealing with the public
C.competing against others
D.staying with ADHD students
解析:A 细节理解题。根据题干的working environment,我们找到第六段的looking for a job,该段说到作者希望的工作环境:I could work alone,but still have a team to talk to。A项的working by herself与该句的work alone表达的意思是一致的,因此选A。
23.Tanis wrote this letter in order to_______.
A.explain why she was interested in the computer
B.share the ideas she had for her profession
C.show how grateful she was to the center
D.describe the courses she had taken so far
解析:C 写作目的题。作者在文章开头直接说明写信的目的“告诉你你的帮助对我的人生是多么重要”;然后描述自己的病情,未了的大学梦,以及收信人开办的网站给作者带来的影响,因此本文的写作目的是C:表明作者对于这个培训中心的感激。
I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean.Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side.The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef.There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of corals.They made such an impression on me.When I learned that only 1 percent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected,I was shocked.Australian marine(海洋的) life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it's important for us to do everything to protect them.The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete ecosystem has led me to take action.I've become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement.Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy,who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
语篇导读
本文旨在号召人们保护海洋生物。
24.From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1, we can learn the author_______.
A.seldom went surfing at the sea
B.forgot his experiences about the ocean
C.never went back to his hometown
D.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay
解析:D 推理判断题。根据“I don't think I can recall a time when I wasn't aware of the beauty of the ocean”和“I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side”可知,作者喜欢海洋,画线句意为“我突然有了一种不想再踏上陆地的感觉”,说明Halfmoon Bay给作者留下了一个美好的印象。故选D。
25.According to the second paragraph,Australian marine life_____.
A.is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually
B.depends on reefs for living greatly
C.may be faced with danger
D.is protected better than that in other oceans
解析:C 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Australian marine(海洋的)life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth.But sadly,only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy”可推知,澳大利亚的海洋生物可能处在危险之中。故选C。
26.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to_______.
A.contribute to a complete ecosystem
B.prevent more marine species from being endangered
C.set up a large nature reserve for reefs
D.raise more teenagers' environmental awareness
解析:B 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“which aims to create the largest marine park in the world.It would serve as a place where the ocean's species will all have a safe place forever”可知,其目的是保护海洋生物免受危险。故选B。
27.Angus and the author created a little video to_______.
A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine species
B.inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean
C.share their childhood experiences about the ocean
D.bring back to people their memories of ocean species
解析:A 细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知,他们的目的是鼓励人们参与保护海洋生物的行动。故选A。
“Did you hear what happened to Adam Last Friday?” Lindsey whispers to Tori.
With her eyes shining,Tori brags,“You bet I did,Sean told me two days ago.”
Who are Lindsey and Tori talking about? It just happened to be yours truly, Adam Freedmam. I can tell you that what they are saying is (a) not nice and (b) not even true.Still, Lindsey and Tori aren't very different from most students here at Linton High School, including me.Many of our conversations are gossip(闲话).I have noticed three effects of gossip: it can hurt people, it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction, and it can cause social pressures in a group.
An important negative effect of gossip is that it can hurt the person being talked about.Usually,gossip spreads information about a topic—breakups, trouble at home, even dropping out—that a person would rather keep secret.The more embarrassing or shameful the secret is, the juicier the gossip it makes.Probably the worst type of gossip is the absolute lie.People often think of gossipers as harmless, but cruel lies can cause pain.
If we know that gossip can be harmful, then why do so many of us do it? That answer lies in another effect of gossip: the satisfaction it gives us.Sharing the latest rumor(传言)can make a person feel important because he or she knows something that others don't.Similarly, hearing the latest rumor can make a person feel like part of the “in group”. In other words, gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging or even superiority(优越感).
Gossip also can have a third effect: it strengthens unwritten,unspoken rules about how people should act.Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group.Translated into high school terms,this means that if everybody you hang around with is laughing at what John wore or what Jane said, then you can bet that wearing or saying something similar will get you the same kind of negative attention.The do's and don'ts conveyed through gossip will never show up in any student handbook.
The effects of gossip vary depending on the situation.The next time you feel the urge to spread the latest news, think about why you want to gossip and what effects your “juicy story” might have.
语篇导读
很多人都喜欢背后说人闲话。本文主要介绍了人们说闲话的原因以及说闲话给人们带来的影响。
28.The author uses a conversation at the beginning of the passage to______ .
A.introduce a topic
B.present an argument
C.describe the characters
D.clarify his writing purpose
解析:A 推理判断题。根据文章开头的对话内容和下文内容可知,作者使用对话的主要目的在于引出本文的话题“人们为什么喜欢说闲话”,故选A项。
29.An important negative effect of gossip is that it______.
A.breaks up relationships
B.embarrasses the listener
C.spreads information around
D.causes unpleasant experiences
解析:D 推理判断题。从文章第三段中的“I have noticed three effects of gossip…in a group”和第四段中的“An important negative effect of gossip is that…talked about”可推知,说闲话的一个重要的负面影响是给被别人说闲话的人带来不愉快的体验,所以选D项。
30.In the author's opinion,many people like to gossip because it______.
A.gives them a feeling of pleasure
B.helps them to make more firends
C.makes them better at telling stories
D.enables them to meet important people
解析:A 细节理解题。从第三段中的“it can give gossipers a strange kind of satisfaction”和第五段中的“gossip is satisfying because it gives people a sense of belonging…”可知,很多人喜欢说闲话是因为他们可以从中获得某种满足感,所以选A项。
31.Professor David Wilson thinks that gossip can______.
A.provide students with written rules
B.help people watch their own behaviors
C.force shcools to improve student handbooks
D.attract the police's attention to group behaviors
解析:B 细节理解题。从全文倒数第二段中的“Professor David Wilson explains that gossip is important in policing behaviors in a group”可知,说闲话会帮助群体成员观察自身的行为习惯。所以选B项。
The character “duang” is so new that it does not even exist in the Chinese dictionary.But it has already spread like wildfire online in China, appearing more than 8 million times on China's microblog site Weibo, where it spawned a top?trending hashtag that drew 312,000 discussions among 15,000 users.On China's biggest online search engine Baidu, it has been looked up almost 600,000 times.It's been noticed in the west, too.
But what does it mean? “Everyone's duang?ing and yet I still don't know what it means!Looks like it's back to school for me,”said Weibo user Weileiweito.Another user asked,“Have you duanged today? My mind is full of duang duang duang.”“To duang or not to duang, that is the question,” wrote user BaiKut automan.
“Duang”seems to be an example of onomatopoeia(拟声词),a word that phonetically imitates a sound.It all seems to have started with Hong Kong action star Jackie Chan, who in 2004 was featured in a shampoo commercial where he said famously to defend for his sleek(光亮的), black hair by using the rhythmical?sounding “duang”.The word resurfaced again recently after Chan posted it on his Weibo page.Thousands of users then began to flood Chan's Weibo page with comments, coining the word in reference to his infamous shampoo appearance.
The word appears to have many different meanings, and there's no perfect translation, but you could use it as an adjective to give emphasis to the word that follows it.A kitten might be “duang cute”, for example.Or you might be “very duang confused” by this blog.For readers of Chinese characters, the Jackie Chan theme is also apparent from the quirky way in which the word is written: a combination of Chan's Mandarin name.
32.What does Paragraph l mainly talk about?
A.Many countries use the word “duang”.
B.Debates arise online about the word “duang”.
C.Chinese dictionaries will contain a new character.
D.The word “duang” is used very often on the Internet.
解析:D 段落大意。根据第一段第二句可知,该段主要介绍了“duang”这个词在因特网上的广泛使用,故D项正确。
33.From what the persons mentioned in Paragraph 2 said,we can learn______.
A.“duang”is popular among students
B.young users can use “duang” freely
C.using “duang” is recognized as a fashion
D.different people have their own understanding of “duang”
解析:D 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句以及本段中其他两个人对“duang”的看法可推知,本段主要介绍了不同的人对“duang”有着不同的理解,故D项正确。
34.Why did Jackie Chan use the word “duang” in 2004?
A.To invent a new character.
B.To advertise for an action film.
C.To show off his good hair in an ad.
D.To ask his fans to flood his Weibo page.
解析:C 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句可知,成龙在2004年使用“duang”是为了在广告中展示他的好头发,故C项正确。
35.The underlined word “quirky” in the last paragraph probably means “________”.
A.unusual B.modern
C.perfect D.quick
解析:A 词义猜测题。根据本文最后一句可知,“duang”字的写法是成龙姓名的中文写法的结合,这是一种不同寻常的表达方式;据此可以判断,画线词意为“不寻常的”,故A项正确。

How to relax your mind
Nowadays,people everywhere seem to find less and less time available to them, and more and more things to achieve.It's quite common to find people running around like headless chickens meeting deadlines that they create.One doesn't have to live this way,in stress and struggle. 36

语篇导读
本文是说明文,介绍了古都洛阳。洛阳拥有悠久的、激动人心的历史和诸多名胜古迹。对游客来说,洛阳是一个值得一游的城市。
61.解析:考查状语从句。when it comes to…为固定结构,意为“当提到……时”。
62.解析:考查形容词。空处在句中作定语修饰cities,故用形容词attractive“吸引人的”。
63.解析:考查介词。as在句中意为“作为”。stand out as作为……而出类拔萃。
64.解析:考查冠词。此处用定冠词,特指中国文化和历史的发源地。
65.解析:考查时态及主谓一致。文中客观介绍了洛阳的相关事实,用一般现在时。空格处所在句为There be句型,句中主语为no other city in China,所以be动词用第三人称单数。
66.解析:考查名词复数。根据空前的“so many”可知,此处用dynasty的复数形式。
67.解析:考查非谓语动词。have意为“有”时,后面一般用带to的不定式作定语。
68.解析:考查时态和语态。句中的时间状语“in 2000”表明空格处用一般过去时,且which(指代The Longmen Grottoes)与include之间是被动关系,故用被动语态。
69.解析:考查副词。空处修饰谓语动词,故用副词。
70.解析:考查非谓语动词。establish与所修饰的名词之间有逻辑上的被动关系,且表示一个完成的动作,所以用过去分词作定语。注意:句中the earliest Buddhist temple为同位语,其后为过去分词作定语,不能误认为空处是谓语动词而用was established。
