Module 6 War and Peace Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is an ancient practice which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish, but in the past, the human race managed to live with it. Modern cleverness has changed this. Either Man will end the existence of war, or war will end the existence of Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may, before long,offer an even greater threat. If wesucceeded in ending the existence of nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will never be done until we have succeeded in ending war. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international problems in a new way not as contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skilful in killing people, but by settling in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change very old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.
There are those who say that the acceptance of this or that ideology (意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a big mistake. All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements (强词夺理) which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Their supporters believe in them so deeply that they are willing to go to warin support ofthem.
The movement of world opinion during the past few years has changed very greatly as we can welcome. It has become a commonplace (老生常谈) that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course very difficult problems remain in the world, but the spirit in which they are coming nearer to is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that negotiations should reach agreements even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important struggle nowadays is not between different countries but between Man and the atom bomb.

D日登陆1
1939年9月,英国在德国入侵波兰后向德国宣战。这场持续到1945年的战争就是著名的第二次世界大战。二战中,德国侵占了包括法国在内的许多国家。1944年进军法国的“霸王行动”是第二次世界大战中欧洲战场最重要的军事战役。
“霸王行动”开始于D日登陆。当日,满载盟军士兵的战船在法国诺曼底海滩登陆。5 000多艘战船装载着13万人的军队穿越英吉利海峡抵达法国海岸。
Troops from the United States, Britain and Canada took part in? the D-Day landings. The operation was extremely? dangerous and many soldiers were killed before they even got off the boats. American soldiers attempted? to land at the most dangerous place, known as Omaha Beach.
The situation at Omaha Beach was so bad that? the US army commanders? thought about abandoning? the invasion. Eventually?, the soldiers made a breakthrough? and the D-Day landings were successful. It was the beginning of the end of the Second World War.

The D-Day Landings — Passage 2
The soldiers of Able Company crossed the English Channel in seven boats early on the morning of 6 June 1944. When they were about 5 kilometres from the beach, the Germans started firing artilleryshells at them but the boats were too far away. The Germans continued firing and Boat 5 was hit one kilometre from the beach. Six men drowned before help arrived. Twenty men fell into the water and were picked up by other boats. As a result, they missed the fighting on the beach. They were lucky. If they had reached the beach, they would probably have been killed.
When Boat 3 was a few metres from the beach, the soldiers jumped out, but the water was so deep that some of them disappeared under the water. Many of the men were either killed orwounded by machine gun fire.

D日登陆2
1944年6月6日清晨,“A连”的战士们乘坐7艘战船横渡英吉利海峡。当船离海滩5 000米左右时,他们遭到了德军炮火的轰炸,但由于距离太远而没有被击中。德军继续射击。在离海滩1 000米时,五号船被击中。6人在救援到来之前被淹死。另外20名战士落水后被其他船上的人救起。结果,他们没赶上海滩上的激战。他们很幸运。要是他们抵达了海滩就很有可能没命了。
当三号船离海滩数米远时,战士们跳入海中。但由于海水太深,有的人沉入了海底。许多人被机枪射死或射伤。
The soldiers on Boat 1 and Boat 4 jumped into the water, but it was too deep and most of them drowned. Half an hour after the first attack, two thirds of the company (a company is a group of about 100 soldiers) were dead. The survivors lay on the beach, exhausted and shocked.
After an hour and forty-five minutes, six of the survivors tried to climb up the cliff to get off the beach. Four were too exhausted to reach the top. The other two, Private Jake Shefer and Private Thomas Lovejoy, joined a group from another company and fought with them. Two men. Two rifles. This was Able Company's contribution to D-Day.

一号船和四号船上的战士也跳入海里。由于海水太深,大多数人都淹死了。第一次进攻开始之后半小时,该连队三分之二的将士都阵亡了?一个连大约有100名士兵?。死里逃生的战士躺在海滩上,疲惫不堪,心有余悸。
1小时45分钟后,6位幸存的战士试图爬上悬崖,离开海滩。其中4名战士由于筋疲力尽未能爬上顶端。另两位战士杰克·谢弗和托马斯·洛夫乔伊加入了另一连队,与他们并肩作战。两名战士,两支来复枪,这就是“A连”对D日登陆所作出的贡献。
The D-Day Landings — Passage 3
On 6 June 2004, survivors of the D-Day landings from many different countries returned to France to remember their lost comrades. Many of them went to the cemetery and memorial which overlooks Omaha Beach.
The cemetery and memorial are situated on a cliff overlooking the beach and the English Channel, from wherethe boats attempted their landings. The cemetery contains the graves of 9,386 Americans who died during the landings. The memorial also contains the names of more than 1,500 men who were never found.

D日登陆3
2004年6月6日,来自不同国家的D日登陆幸存者们回到法国,纪念他们阵亡的战友。他们当中有许多人去了俯瞰奥马哈海滩的公墓和纪念碑。
公墓和纪念碑坐落在一处悬崖之上,从那里可以俯瞰海滩和英吉利海峡,当时一艘艘船只就试图从那里登陆。公墓包括登陆时阵亡的9 386位美军战士的坟墓。纪念碑上还刻有1 500多名失踪战士的名字。
On the memorial, there is part of a poem called “For the Fallen”, which was written by an English poet, Lawrence Binyon:
Theyshallnotgrowold, aswethatareleftgrowold.
Ageshallnotwearythem, northeyearscondemn.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Nuclear power's danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can't be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can't detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can't sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (辐射) and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
语篇解读:文章介绍了核辐射对人造成的危害是巨大的,它可以立即杀死一个人,也可能会潜伏多年再发生癌变,甚至可能遗传给后代。
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to detect nuclear radiation.
B.How radiation kills a man.
C.The mystery about nuclear radiation.
D.Serious damage caused by nuclear radiation.
解析:选C 主旨大意题。根据第一、二段可知,核能的危害可以归结为辐射,核辐射有一种神秘感,主要是因为它不能被人类感知。因此,文章主要讲的是核辐射的秘密。故选C。
2.What is NOT the reason why nuclear radiation has a certain mystery?
A.The hurt cells can stay in the body many years and then grow into cancer.
B.It can do harm to a person while the victim isn't aware the damage has occurred.
C.Nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily.
D.Radiation can seldom kill a person immediately.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段“At very high levels ...in vital organs.”可知,如果辐射强度很大,核辐射可以立即将人或动物杀死。
3.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may ________.
A.die of cancer after many years
B.die immediately
C.have a child who may be born weak
D.all of the above
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容和第四段最后一句可知,核辐射可能立即杀死一个人,也可能会潜伏多年再发生癌变,核辐射可能遗传给后代,A、B、C都正确,故选D。
B
When I was a child, I was a “genius” — the kind you sometimes see profiled on the local news. I started reading at 2. I could multiply two-digit numbers in my head when I was 5. In third grade, I commuted to the local junior high to take geometry. Kids on the playground would sometimes test me by asking what a million times a million was — and were delighted when I knew the answer.
Many advocates for gifted education are similarly delighted by kids like me, seeing us as a kind of natural resource, one we risk squandering as surely as we do fossil fuels. “These are the people who are going to figure out all the riddles,” the psychologist David Lubinski said. “But they are not given a lot of opportunities in schools that are designed for typically developing kids.”
But here's the thing: Talent isn't a number. Since we're only 1 in 10,000 of the U. S. population, that still leaves 99% of scientific advances to be made by all those other kids who didn't get an early ticket to the genius club. Most child prodigies are highly successful — but most highly successful people weren't child prodigies.
One of the most painful aspects of teaching mathematics is seeing my students damaged by the respect of the genius. That tells students that it's not worth doing math unless you're the best at math — because those special few are the only ones whose contributions really count. We don't treat any other subject that way. But I see promising young mathematicians quit every year because someone in their range of vision is “ahead” of them.
Terry Tao, a winner of the Fields Medal, once wrote:“I find the reality of mathematical research today — in which progress is obtained naturally and gradually as a result of hard work, directed by intuition, literature, and a bit of luck — to be far more satisfying than the romantic image that I had as a student of mathematics being advanced primarily by the magic inspirations of some rare breed of ‘geniuses’.”
Genius is a thing that happens, not a kind of person.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了关于儿童天才的问题,说明了许多进步是辛勤努力的结果,而不仅仅是天才造成的。
4.The underlined word “squandering” may mean ________.
A.wasting B.using
C.sharing D.providing
解析:选A 词义猜测题。结合画线词前面的“natural resource”和后面的“...they are not given a lot of opportunities in schools that are designed for typically developing kids.”可知,他们没有得到机会等,说明这些天才好像被浪费了的资源一样,因此选A项。
5.The author most likely agrees the idea that ________.
A.geniuses can solve all the riddles in life
B.most scientific advances aren't made by prodigies
C.hard work needn't be valued by geniuses
D.talent can be judged from the score numbers
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Since we're only 1 ... an early ticket to the genius club.”可知,作者认为很多科学技术的进步是由那些小时候不是天才的人获得的。
6.According to the author, his students tend to think that ________.
A.common efforts lead to the progress in math
B.most students are promising math mathematicians
C.math is worthwhile only for child geniuses
D.mathematicians are awarded with special honors
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“That tells students ... contributions really count.”可知,很多学生们认为只有那些儿童天才,才值得去研究数学。
7.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the wrong way to treat child geniuses
B.the discovery of child geniuses
C.the solution of genius to math problems
D.the opinion of geniuses on math
解析:选A 主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了关于儿童天才的一些情况,作者通过自己的例子说明现在人对于天才往往给予了过多地关注,而忽视了很多成功其实并不是天才的儿童们取得的等情况,因此A项符合主旨。
C
Man has always dreamt of a world free from suffering, injustice and, above all, work. Adam and Eve are placed by God in a garden full of trees “pleasant to the sight, and good for food”. The medieval utopia (中世纪的乌托邦) of Cockeyne was populated by hens laying soft-boiled eggs.
Modern technology has made such fantasies a realistic future. Writing in 1929, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that, over the next 100 years, standards of living in the affluent world would rise between four to eight times. Freed from the burden of economic need, man would face his real, permanent problem:“How to occupy the leisure (闲暇), which science and interest will have won for him, wisely and agreeably and well.”
Keynes got one thing right: standards of living in the wealthy world have indeed risen about four times. But hours of work have not fallen as much as the former. Why?
My father and I wrote a book titled HowMuchisEnough in which we tried to solve this “Keynes problem”. Among other explanations, we considered the possibility that people are frightened by the future of endless leisure.
We concluded that this may well be true — but only because people do not know what leisure really is. Leisure today is considered as a mere break in the productive process, a moment to relax or get back strength and energy before the next period of work. Indeed, a good deal of modern leisure is hard to tell from work. We spend quality time staying with our children in order to keep them sweet. No wonder a life of leisure fills us with fear.
How can we recover real leisure? The first step would be to recall the original meaning of the term. Leisure in the ancient world was not just time off work but a distinct form of activity in its own right. It was what was done freely, for its own sake (为其本身), rather than for the sake of something else. Leisure was a privilege of landed gentlemen.
语篇解读:什么是休息?这个看似简单的问题其实不简单。作者在文章中就阐述了什么是真正意义的休息。
8.What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Adam and Eve were born in a garden full of trees.
B.Hens in the middle ages could lay soft-boiled eggs.
C.Man has long been expecting a life with enough leisure.
D.Man has lived in a world with serious injustice everywhere.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,人类一直梦想生活在一个不用工作的世界里,换句话说就是人类一直盼望自己能有足够的休闲时间。
9.What does the underlined word “affluent” probably mean?
A.Foreign. B.Industrial.
C.Rich. D.Developing.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句的叙述可知,Keynes有一件事情是对的:富裕国家的生活水平确实提高了四倍左右。由此可知,经济学家Keynes预言接下来的100年里,富裕国家的生活水平将提高四到八倍。
10.Which of the following can best explain the meaning of the “Keynes problem”?
A.People don't understand the true meaning of leisure.
B.People can't tell the difference between leisure and work.
C.People don't know how to rest before restarting their work.
D.People have no idea how to make good use of their leisure time.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,从经济需要的负担中解脱,人类将面临真正的永恒的问题:“你怎样明智地、愉快地和很好地利用自己的闲暇时间。”以及第四段最后一句可知,在其他解释中,我们认为可能是人们害怕未来无限的闲暇。

How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before the examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. __1__ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. __2__
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. __3__ It is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected; after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
__4__ If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. __5__
A.Do not arrive too early, though, as other people's anxiety can be contagious, and you may suffer from undue panic.
B.Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
C.When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn't understand.
D.Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E.Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
F.Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.
G.Hurry and prepare for your next exam.

Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. Although nearly two year have passed, my friendship with Yang Liu is freshly kept in my mind. It all began when we meet in our volunteer work for school sports meeting. From then on we became best friends. We had common interest in basketball and often shared their experience about sports. On weekends we rode to play the basketball together. Now in Senior 3, we seldom play together, or still keep in touch and encourage each other. With the college entrance examination comes near, I'm worried about what my life will like as we may go to different universities. But now what doesn't worry me any more because I know the deep meaning of friendship. Just as the old saying goes, truly friendship will always live on no matter where far apart we are. I won't forget this unforgettable experience forever.

D-Day+2
To our astonishment①, just two days after we had received our confidential② orders to join the D-Day landing troops, and after a day fighting and seeing many of my friends killed by the enemy, we found ourselves outside a peaceful village in France③. It was so sudden, after the mess④ and confusion⑤ of war on the beach.
It was late afternoon, and the sun was setting⑥ on a perfect country scene of farm buildings, a main street, a few shops, a garage⑦ and a church. But we hesitated⑧ because we were aware that there might still have been⑨ enemy soldiers. Our lieutenant⑩ told Private Kowalski and me to advance? and check the village.

D日登陆+2
[第1~2段译文]
使我们吃惊的是,就在我们接到加入D日登陆部队的机密命令后两天,经过一天的战斗,并亲眼目睹我的很多朋友被敌军残杀后,我们发现我们来到了一个宁静的法国村庄外面。经历了海滩上的混战之后,这一切是如此突然。
时近黄昏,太阳正在落山,照在农场建筑物、大街、商店、车库和教堂上,勾勒出一幅完美的乡村景色。但是我们迟疑着(并没有贸然进村),因为我们知道或许那里还有敌兵。我们的中尉命令我和士兵科瓦尔斯基前去搜村。
As we entered the main street?, a young woman on a tractor? drove out of the garage, saw us and called out something in French. Immediately five men came out of the bar, and two more? from a farmyard, holding guns. I took off? myhelmet? and yelled?, “American! Put your guns down?!” They gathered round us, shouting and shaking our hands?. Some women appeared and kissed us.
We soon understood that the enemy had abandoned? the village, so Kowalski went back to the others to let them know it was safe. I walked into a barbershop and stroked my chin, to show I needed to shave. The barber had a magnificent moustache, which he used wax to keep in shape. He filled a tin with cold water, and took out a razor from a drawer. He used a leather sharpener on the razor, and then gave me the best shave I had had in years. Finally he picked up a pair of scissors and a comb, and cut my hair.

当我们进入主大街时,一个年轻妇女开着拖拉机从车库出来,看到我们并用法语大声喊着什么。立刻有五个人走出酒吧,另两个人出了农舍,拿着枪。我摘下头盔喊道:“美国人!把你们的枪放下!”他们围着我们,喊叫着并握着我们的手。有些妇女跑过来吻我们。,我们很快明白了敌人已经放弃了整个村子,于是科瓦尔斯基回到其他人那里通知他们已经安全了。我走进一家理发店,摸了摸我的下巴,表明我需要刮胡子。理发师蓄着漂亮的胡须,还用蜡定了型。他往一个罐子里加满了冷水,并从一个抽屉里拿出一把剃须刀。他在一块皮革上磨了磨剃须刀,然后给我刮胡子——这是我几年以来刮得最好的一次。最后,他拿起一把剪刀和一把梳子为我理发。
When the rest of our company arrived, they unloaded their baggage and bedding while the villagers brought out some jars of wine, and laid a table in the middle of the street, which they then covered with plates of potatoes and carrots, ham and sausages. Someone shouted “Cheers!” in English and we all drank toliberation and to the French constitution. Some of our boys had never tasted wine before, and spat it out, thinking it was vinegar.
We gave stockings to the women, which they loved, and in return, they gave us perfume for our girlfriends. I was too ashamed to admit that I was too young to have a girlfriend. But the villagers treated us like heroes, and for a brief moment, I felt that all the fear and danger had been worthwhile. But I also remembered my friends who had died earlier that day, and wondered if they would have agreed.

Churchill made one of his greatest speeches in 1940, when he was invited to become Prime Minister of Britain⑨, and the leader of a new government. The country had been at war⑩ for over eight months, and he knew that it would suffer? many great defeats before it would begin to win the war?. So on 13 May 1940 he promised? the House of Commons?: “I would say to the House, as? I said to those who have joined the Government?, ‘I have nothing to offer but blood, toil?, tears and sweat.’”

温斯顿·丘吉尔的演讲
[第1~2段译文]
温斯顿·丘吉尔在二战的大部分时间都以他作为政治家以及英国首相而闻名于世。尤其著名的是他的演讲,许多人深信他的演讲甚至让人们产生了更坚定的决心来打败敌人。这些演讲中的许多内容至今还会被记起。
在1940年,当他被邀请去做英国首相和新政府的领导人时,丘吉尔发表了他最伟大的演讲之一。当时国家已经应战八个多月了,他知道在开始赢取战争之前,他们还要遭受许多大的失败。于是在1940年5月13日,他向下议院承诺:“我会对议会说,正如我对那些加入到政府工作中的人说的那样,‘我没有什么可以奉献,除了热血、辛劳、眼泪和汗水。’”
A month later, the Germany army had advanced across northern Europe, and the British Army had retreated? to the coast of the English Channel. The only escape? was to cross the sea back to England. Hundreds of small boats set out? from ports on the English coast to bring back the soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk in France. But Churchill encouraged people that this was only a temporary defeat in a speech which included the words, “We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”
On 18 June 1940, Churchill gave another fine speech when he drew attention to the courage of everyone defending Britain. “In years to come,” he said, “... men will say, ‘This was their finest hour.’”
?retreat/rI'tri?t/v.撤退,后退

temporary adj.暂时的
which引导定语从句,修饰a speech。
surrender/s?'rend?/v.投降
draw (one's) attention to使(某人)注意到……
现在分词短语defending Britain作后置定语。
[第3~4段译文]
一个月后,德国军队已经向欧洲北部进军,英国军队已经撤退到英吉利海峡的海岸上。唯一可以逃生的方法就是越过海峡回到英国。数百艘小船从英国海岸的港口出发,把位于法国敦刻尔克海岸的士兵们接回来。但是丘吉尔在一次演讲中鼓励人们说这只是暂时的失败,他说:“我们会在海岸上战斗,我们会在陆地上战斗,我们会在田野里和街巷中战斗,我们会在山上战斗;我们永远不投降。”,在1940年6月18日,当丘吉尔号召每个人都要有保卫英国的勇气时,他作了另一场精彩的演讲。他讲道:“在不久的将来……人们会说,‘这是他们最美好的时刻。’”
The Germans continued their attacks on Britain from the air. A small number of pilots resisted the much larger German Air Force. Germany lost many airplanes, and was forced to change their strategy. Britain was no longer threatened by an early invasion, and on 20 August 1940, he said, “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.”
In two years, Germany began to lose some important battles. After a defeat in North Africa, on 10 November 1942 he made a speech with the famous words, “Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”
Many people believe that Churchill's leadership inspired people to remain brave in the face of Nazi Germany. His speeches are still remembered and quoted today, and remain some of the finest examples of spoken English.

resist v.抵抗,抵挡

德军继续对英国进行空袭。少数的飞行员抵抗数目大得多的德国空军。德军损失了许多飞机,并且被迫改变他们的战略。英国不再受到早期入侵的威胁,在1940年8月20日,他说:“在人类战争史上,从来没有一次像这样,以如此少的兵力取得如此大的成功。”,两年后,德国开始在一些重要的战役中失利。在北非战场失败后,1942年11月10日,他作了演讲,其中有一些名言:“现在还不是结束的时候,它甚至还不算是结束的前奏,但可能是开始的结束。”,许多人相信丘吉尔的领导才能激励着人们面对纳粹德军时仍能英勇作战。今天,他的演讲仍然被铭记和引用,并且其中一些还成为英语口语中的范例。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Smartphones, essentially pocket-sized computers, we already have.Flying drones (无人机) with cameras are available to everybody.Robots and self-driving cars are just around the corner.Now, two groups of inventors say very soon we will be able to try flying platforms and flying bikes.
Being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle has been a long-standing dream of many inventors.But the safety and stability of such vehicles were always huge problems.As relevant technologies have developed within the past decade, the dream of personal flying vehicles has moved closer to reality.British firm Malloy Aeronautics has showed a prototype (原型) of its hover (旋转) bike that it says will be a truly personal flying platform.“It's inexpensive; it can get in and out of very small spaces very quickly, and it can be folded and packed,”said Malloy Aeronautics' marketing sales director, Grant Stapleton.He said with safety as the primary concern, designers came up with a new idea of overlapping rotors (重叠转子), whose so-called “adducted” propellers (内收式螺旋桨) are turning in enclosed spaces.“Adducted propellers are the key.Thus, you not only protect people and property if you knock into them, but if you knock into somebody or something, it's going to bring the aircraft out of the air,” said Stapleton.
The company is doing more tests with a one-third scale (比例) model, and also with a full scale prototype.
Inventors say their Hover bike will most likely be used first by the army, police and rescue teams.
Meanwhile, Martin Aircraft Company from New Zealand already is testing a full-scale prototype of its personal flying device called Jetpack that can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high, and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.It also has a built-in parachute.“It opens at very low altitudes and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency,”researchers said.It is said that Jetpack would be ready for the market by the end of 2016, with a price of about $200,000.
语篇解读:本质上是袖珍电脑的智能手机,人们已经有了。载有摄像机的无人机已经唾手可得了。机器人和自动驾驶汽车也已指日可待。如今,发明家说,人类很快便能尝试飞行平台和飞行自行车了。
1.The concerns about flying vehicles are ________.
A.the size and weight
B.the speed and height
C.the safety and stability
D.the technology and skill
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,能像骑自行车一样地飞来飞去,一直是许多发明家长期的梦想。但这类飞行器的稳定性与安全性始终是一个巨大难题。
2.The following are all features of Malloy Aeronautics' hover bike EXCEPT that ________.
A.it doesn't cost much money
B.its size is small enough
C.it can be folded and packed
D.it avoids overlapping rotors
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段“It's inexpensive ... designers came up with a new idea of overlapping rotors”可知,这种飞行器的价格不贵,它可以快速进入和离开非常狭小的空间,由此可推知它体积不大,它还可以折叠、打包。故选D。
3.Before being put in the market, the hover bike ________.
A.receives many awards in the science field
B.still needs further study and tests
C.receives many booking requirements
D.is widely used by the government
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,马洛依航空公司正在对三分之一比例的模型进行测试,同时也正在测试原尺寸原型。这种飞行器上市之前,需要更多的研究和测试。
4.What's the similarity between the hover bike and Jetpack?
A.Both will be ready for the market in 2016.
B.Both can stay for a long time in the air.
C.They are both equipped with parachutes.
D.Their full-scale prototypes are being tested.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段和最后一段“Meanwhile, Martin Aircraft Company from New Zealand already is testing a full-scale prototype of its personal flying device called Jetpack ...”可知,这两种飞行器的原尺寸原型都在测试中。
Ⅱ.语法填空

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.
Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.
A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that_view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline (虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.
It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr.James attributes the differences to the
process of free handwriting: Not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.
It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文,论述了用手书写对孩子来说是非常重要的问题。科学研究证明,用手书写能促进人的阅读和写作能力,也有助于大脑进行创造性思考和存储信息。作者提出教育者应该重视孩子的书写练习。
1.What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?
A.Handwriting is not very important to children.
B.Handwriting has nothing to do with education.
C.Handwriting should not be ignored at present.
D.Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据首段中“Does handwriting matter? Not very much ... is not important.”可知答案。
2.What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?
A.Children read quickly when they write by hand.
B.How we write is as important as what we write.
C.Children create ideas and remember information.
D.A group of students should know what to write.
解析:选B 词义猜测题。“that view”指代上文,即第二段结尾处“... it’s not only what we write that matters — but how.”,意为“怎样书写和写什么都很重要”。故选B项。
3.Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?
A.Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.
B.Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.
C.Type the image directly on a computer.
D.Use a brain scanner and show the image again.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据“Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.”可知,受测学生站在脑部扫描仪前,而不是使用脑部扫描仪,故选D项。
4.The author’s attitude towards giving up handwriting was ______.
A.supportive B.disapproving
C.neutral D.uninterested
解析:选B 观点态度题。虽然文中提到了教育学家和科学家的不同观点,但是结尾处作者明确表达“It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.”,认为教育学家应该重视孩子的书写训练,不应该放弃用手书写。故选B项。

After school, I was about to enter my apartment building when I saw a little dirty dog lie beside the dustbin. He looked extreme weak.

参考范文:
Dear editor,
I am writing to you to talk about the heavy traffic. Nowadays, people in many big cities are complaining about the heavy traffic. It has seriously influenced people’s daily life and economic development. To solve the problem, I’d like to put forward some pieces of advice.
For one thing, more streets and roads should be built. In this way, we can speed up the flow of buses and cars. For another, the number of cars can be limited, which can decrease the traffic flow. But the most important thing is that the number of private cars should be put under control. Meanwhile, buses should have their own special routes which cannot be used by other vehicles. Besides, underground train and city train should be developed quickly.
I do hope my suggestions will be taken.
Yours,
Li Hua
Module 6 War and Peace
In September, 1939, Germanyinvaded andoccupiedPoland, which marked the beginning of the Second World War. The war lasted for about 7 years. Later, many countries, including Britain, declared war on Germany. Numerous privates died. Despite this, the survivors still think their sacrifice and efforts worthwhile.
The most important and memorable battle of the war was Operation Overlord. The situation at Omaha Beach where American troops landed was so bad that its commanderseven thought about abandoning the operation. To our great astonishment, eventually, the soldiers made a breakthrough with great courage and the D-Day landing was successful. During the landing, some soldiers drowned in the deepwater, others wounded by the bullets or shells. Fortunately, some soldiers were picked up. When some old soldiers think of the scene now, they still feel shocked and frightened. On 6 June, 2004, survivors with different nationalities of the D-Day landing returned to France to watch the cemetery and memorial overlooking Omaha Beach to remember their lost comrades.
Nowadays, most people long for peace and condemn war. Peace is the very thing that most countries have gone after., 1939年9月德国入侵并占领了波兰,这标志着第二次世界大战的开始。二战大约持续了7年。后来许多国家,包括英国,都向德国宣战。无数的士兵牺牲了。尽管如此,幸存者仍认为他们的牺牲和努力是值得的。
这场战争中最重要和最难忘的战役是霸王行动。美国军队登陆的奥马哈海滩形势非常糟糕,以至于指挥官都想放弃这次行动。令我们感到非常吃惊的是,最后士兵们用他们巨大的勇气取得了突破,D日登陆成功了。在这次登陆中,一些士兵在深水中被淹死,一些被子弹或炮弹击中负伤。幸运的是,有些士兵被救起。当一些老士兵回想起当时的情景时,他们依旧感到震惊和恐惧。在2004年6月6号,D日登陆的不同国籍的幸存者回到法国去参观俯视奥马哈海滩的公墓和纪念碑以怀念他们阵亡的战友。
现在大多数人渴望和平谴责战争。和平是大多数国家追求的东西。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Nuclear power’s danger to health, safety, and even life itself can be summed up in one word: radiation.
Nuclear radiation has a certain mystery about it, partly because it cannot be detected by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being immediately by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no levels of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed immediately, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated (辐射) and feel fine, then die for cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth.
语篇解读:文章介绍了核辐射对人造成的危害是巨大的,它可以立即杀死一个人,也可能会潜伏多年再发生癌变,甚至可能遗传给后代。
1.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.How to detect nuclear radiation.
B.How radiation kills a man.
C.The mystery about nuclear radiation.
D.Serious damage caused by nuclear radiation.
解析:选C 主旨大意题。根据第一、二段可知,核能的危害可以归结为辐射,核辐射有一种神秘感,主要是因为它不能被人类感知。因此,文章主要讲的是核辐射的秘密。故选C。
2.What is NOT the reason why nuclear radiation has a certain mystery?
A.The hurt cells can stay in the body many years and then grow into cancer.
B.It can do harm to a person while the victim isn’t aware the damage has occurred.
C.Nuclear radiation can kill a person very easily.
D.Radiation can seldom kill a person immediately.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第三段“At very high levels ...in vital organs.”可知,如果辐射强度很大,核辐射可以立即将人或动物杀死。
3.If a human being is hit by nuclear radiation, he may ________.
A.die of cancer after many years
B.die immediately
C.have a child who may be born weak
D.all of the above
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容和第四段最后一句可知,核辐射可能立即杀死一个人,也可能会潜伏多年再发生癌变,核辐射可能遗传给后代,A、B、C都正确,故选D。
B
When I was a child, I was a “genius” — the kind you sometimes see profiled on the local news. I started reading at 2. I could multiply two-digit numbers in my head when I was 5. In third grade, I commuted to the local junior high to take geometry. Kids on the playground would sometimes test me by asking what a million times a million was — and were delighted when I knew the answer.
Many advocates for gifted education are similarly delighted by kids like me, seeing us as a kind of natural resource, one we risk squandering as surely as we do fossil fuels. “These are the people who are going to figure out all the riddles,” the psychologist David Lubinski said. “But they are not given a lot of opportunities in schools that are designed for typically developing kids.”
But here’s the thing: Talent isn’t a number. Since we’re only 1 in 10,000 of the U. S. population, that still leaves 99% of scientific advances to be made by all those other kids who didn’t get an early ticket to the genius club. Most child prodigies are highly successful — but most highly successful people weren’t child prodigies.
One of the most painful aspects of teaching mathematics is seeing my students damaged by the respect of the genius. That tells students that it’s not worth doing math unless you’re the best at math — because those special few are the only ones whose contributions really count. We don’t treat any other subject that way. But I see promising young mathematicians quit every year because someone in their range of vision is “ahead” of them.
Terry Tao, a winner of the Fields Medal, once wrote:“I find the reality of mathematical research today — in which progress is obtained naturally and gradually as a result of hard work, directed by intuition, literature, and a bit of luck — to be far more satisfying than the romantic image that I had as a student of mathematics being advanced primarily by the magic inspirations of some rare breed of ’geniuses’.”
Genius is a thing that happens, not a kind of person.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了关于儿童天才的问题,说明了许多进步是辛勤努力的结果,而不仅仅是天才造成的。
4.The underlined word “squandering” may mean ________.
A.wasting B.using
C.sharing D.providing
解析:选A 词义猜测题。结合画线词前面的“natural resource”和后面的“...they are not given a lot of opportunities in schools that are designed for typically developing kids.”可知,他们没有得到机会等,说明这些天才好像被浪费了的资源一样,因此选A项。
5.The author most likely agrees the idea that ________.
A.geniuses can solve all the riddles in life
B.most scientific advances aren’t made by prodigies
C.hard work needn’t be valued by geniuses
D.talent can be judged from the score numbers
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Since we’re only 1 ... an early ticket to the genius club.”可知,作者认为很多科学技术的进步是由那些小时候不是天才的人获得的。
6.According to the author, his students tend to think that ________.
A.common efforts lead to the progress in math
B.most students are promising math mathematicians
C.math is worthwhile only for child geniuses
D.mathematicians are awarded with special honors
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第四段的“That tells students ... contributions really count.”可知,很多学生们认为只有那些儿童天才,才值得去研究数学。
7.The passage is mainly about ________.
A.the wrong way to treat child geniuses
B.the discovery of child geniuses
C.the solution of genius to math problems
D.the opinion of geniuses on math
解析:选A 主旨大意题。本文主要讨论了关于儿童天才的一些情况,作者通过自己的例子说明现在人对于天才往往给予了过多地关注,而忽视了很多成功其实并不是天才的儿童们取得的等情况,因此A项符合主旨。
C
Man has always dreamt of a world free from suffering, injustice and, above all, work. Adam and Eve are placed by God in a garden full of trees “pleasant to the sight, and good for food”. The medieval utopia (中世纪的乌托邦) of Cockeyne was populated by hens laying soft-boiled eggs.
Modern technology has made such fantasies a realistic future. Writing in 1929, economist John Maynard Keynes predicted that, over the next 100 years, standards of living in the affluent world would rise between four to eight times. Freed from the burden of economic need, man would face his real, permanent problem:“How to occupy the leisure (闲暇), which science and interest will have won for him, wisely and agreeably and well.”
Keynes got one thing right: standards of living in the wealthy world have indeed risen about four times. But hours of work have not fallen as much as the former. Why?
My father and I wrote a book titled How Much is Enough in which we tried to solve this “Keynes problem”. Among other explanations, we considered the possibility that people are frightened by the future of endless leisure.
We concluded that this may well be true — but only because people do not know what leisure really is. Leisure today is considered as a mere break in the productive process, a moment to relax or get back strength and energy before the next period of work. Indeed, a good deal of modern leisure is hard to tell from work. We spend quality time staying with our children in order to keep them sweet. No wonder a life of leisure fills us with fear.
How can we recover real leisure? The first step would be to recall the original meaning of the term. Leisure in the ancient world was not just time off work but a distinct form of activity in its own right. It was what was done freely, for its own sake (为其本身), rather than for the sake of something else. Leisure was a privilege of landed gentlemen.
语篇解读:什么是休息?这个看似简单的问题其实不简单。作者在文章中就阐述了什么是真正意义的休息。
8.What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A.Adam and Eve were born in a garden full of trees.
B.Hens in the middle ages could lay soft-boiled eggs.
C.Man has long been expecting a life with enough leisure.
D.Man has lived in a world with serious injustice everywhere.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,人类一直梦想生活在一个不用工作的世界里,换句话说就是人类一直盼望自己能有足够的休闲时间。
9.What does the underlined word “affluent” probably mean?
A.Foreign. B.Industrial.
C.Rich. D.Developing.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第三段第一句的叙述可知,Keynes有一件事情是对的:富裕国家的生活水平确实提高了四倍左右。由此可知,经济学家Keynes预言接下来的100年里,富裕国家的生活水平将提高四到八倍。
10.Which of the following can best explain the meaning of the “Keynes problem”?
A.People don’t understand the true meaning of leisure.
B.People can’t tell the difference between leisure and work.
C.People don’t know how to rest before restarting their work.
D.People have no idea how to make good use of their leisure time.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,从经济需要的负担中解脱,人类将面临真正的永恒的问题:“你怎样明智地、愉快地和很好地利用自己的闲暇时间。”以及第四段最后一句可知,在其他解释中,我们认为可能是人们害怕未来无限的闲暇。

How to Do Well in Exams
Do not underestimate the power of revision in the days and hours before the examination. The closer you are to the exam, the more chance you have of storing and retaining crucial information. But do not overdo it. __1__ An effective daily routine can help you through an exam period, so in the days leading up to your first exam, get into the habit of being up and ready to work by game. It can be a shock to the system after months of working to your own timetable to be mentally alert at that time if you have not prepared for it.
On the day of the exam, have a good breakfast, pack two of everything you need (pens, pencils, erasers, etc.), then make your way to the examination hall in good time. __2__
Once in your seat, simply pause for a few seconds and collect your thoughts. Close your eyes and take in a few slow, deep breaths to help you relax. When you turn over the test paper, spend a short period reading through all the instructions and questions, paying particular attention to key verbs such as “discuss”, “compare” and “evaluate”. __3__ It is always wise to allow for 10 minutes at the end of the exam to give yourself time to go back over your answers. Once you have selected the questions you wish to tackle, begin by attempting the one you think is your strongest. It will give you more confidence when you see a well-answered question down on paper. Also remember to write clearly, and do not be afraid to express the unexpected; after all, examiners can get very bored marking stereotypical answers.
__4__ If you do need something else to focus on to help collect your thoughts, choose a fixture in the room, such as the ceiling or anything else that will not allow you to be distracted.
Finally, once you have finished, never hang around outside afterwards to attend the discussion by other students. __5__
A.Do not arrive too early, though, as other people’s anxiety can be contagious, and you may suffer from undue panic.
B.Try not to be tempted to look at those around you, or at the clock.
C.When you get home, read the examination paper through and look up all the words you didn’t understand.
D.Sleep, exercise and relaxation are all just as important.
E.Map out a quick plan of points you wish to make and how much time you should spend on each question.
F.Go and have a well-earned rest, then prepare for your next exam.
G.Hurry and prepare for your next exam.

Smartphones, essentially pocket-sized computers, we already have.Flying drones (无人机) with cameras are available to everybody.Robots and self-driving cars are just around the corner.Now, two groups of inventors say very soon we will be able to try flying platforms and flying bikes.
Being able to fly around as simply as riding a bicycle has been a long-standing dream of many inventors.But the safety and stability of such vehicles were always huge problems.As relevant technologies have developed within the past decade, the dream of personal flying vehicles has moved closer to reality.British firm Malloy Aeronautics has showed a prototype (原型) of its hover (旋转) bike that it says will be a truly personal flying platform.“It’s inexpensive; it can get in and out of very small spaces very quickly, and it can be folded and packed,”said Malloy Aeronautics’ marketing sales director, Grant Stapleton.He said with safety as the primary concern, designers came up with a new idea of overlapping rotors (重叠转子), whose so-called “adducted” propellers (内收式螺旋桨) are turning in enclosed spaces.“Adducted propellers are the key.Thus, you not only protect people and property if you knock into them, but if you knock into somebody or something, it’s going to bring the aircraft out of the air,” said Stapleton.
The company is doing more tests with a one-third scale (比例) model, and also with a full scale prototype.
Inventors say their Hover bike will most likely be used first by the army, police and rescue teams.
Meanwhile, Martin Aircraft Company from New Zealand already is testing a full-scale prototype of its personal flying device called Jetpack that can fly for more than 30 minutes, up to 1,000 meters high, and reach a speed of 74 kilometers per hour.It also has a built-in parachute.“It opens at very low altitudes and actually saves both the aircraft and the pilot in an emergency,”researchers said.It is said that Jetpack would be ready for the market by the end of 2016, with a price of about $200,000.
语篇解读:本质上是袖珍电脑的智能手机,人们已经有了。载有摄像机的无人机已经唾手可得了。机器人和自动驾驶汽车也已指日可待。如今,发明家说,人类很快便能尝试飞行平台和飞行自行车了。
1.The concerns about flying vehicles are ________.
A.the size and weight
B.the speed and height
C.the safety and stability
D.the technology and skill
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段前两句可知,能像骑自行车一样地飞来飞去,一直是许多发明家长期的梦想。但这类飞行器的稳定性与安全性始终是一个巨大难题。
2.The following are all features of Malloy Aeronautics’ hover bike EXCEPT that ________.
A.it doesn’t cost much money
B.its size is small enough
C.it can be folded and packed
D.it avoids overlapping rotors
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第二段“It’s inexpensive ... designers came up with a new idea of overlapping rotors”可知,这种飞行器的价格不贵,它可以快速进入和离开非常狭小的空间,由此可推知它体积不大,它还可以折叠、打包。故选D。
3.Before being put in the market, the hover bike ________.
A.receives many awards in the science field
B.still needs further study and tests
C.receives many booking requirements
D.is widely used by the government
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第三段可知,马洛依航空公司正在对三分之一比例的模型进行测试,同时也正在测试原尺寸原型。这种飞行器上市之前,需要更多的研究和测试。
4.What’s the similarity between the hover bike and Jetpack?
A.Both will be ready for the market in 2016.
B.Both can stay for a long time in the air.
C.They are both equipped with parachutes.
D.Their full-scale prototypes are being tested.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第三段和最后一段“Meanwhile, Martin Aircraft Company from New Zealand already is testing a full-scale prototype of its personal flying device called Jetpack ...”可知,这两种飞行器的原尺寸原型都在测试中。

Ⅱ.短文改错
Everyone has some unforgettable experiences. Although nearly two year have passed, my friendship with Yang Liu is freshly kept in my mind. It all began when we meet in our volunteer work for school sports meeting. From then on we became best friends. We had common interest in basketball and often shared their experience about sports. On weekends we rode to play the basketball together. Now in Senior 3, we seldom play together, or still keep in touch and encourage each other. With the college entrance examination comes near, I’m worried about what my life will like as we may go to different universities. But now what doesn’t worry me any more because I know the deep meaning of friendship. Just as the old saying goes, truly friendship will always live on no matter where far apart we are. I won’t forget this unforgettable experience forever.
