Linus Pauling, the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes, was born in Portland, Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Orgon State College in 1922.He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it.
He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substance. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids(氨基酸), which are called the “building blocks of life”. In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.
During World WarⅡ, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.
From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, The Nuclear?Test?Ban Treaty, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace.
1. From the first Paragraph, we learn that Linus Pauling________.
A. didn’t study hard while in Washington High School
B. is the only scientist who has won two Nobel Prizes
C. was once badly treated in Washington High School
D. chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living
2. Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?
A. The “behavior” of molecules.
B. Physical chemistry.
C. Biological chemistry.
D. The human body.
3. Which of the following is legal according to The Nuclear?Test?Ban Treaty?
A. The use of nuclear weapons.
B. Testing hydrogen bomb on the ground.
C. Testing hydrogen bomb on underground.
D. The production of hydrogen bombs.
4. The main idea of the passage is to show________.
A. Linus Pauling’s attitude towards nuclear weapons
B. Linus Pauling’s contributions to the world
C. Linus Pauling’s research on the structure of molecules
D. Linus Pauling’s got the Nobel Prize for Peace
答案:1. D 2. B 3. C 4. B
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别) of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 young Einstein had been world?famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.
Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the year following World War Ⅰ’ honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦逊的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to others
B. the feeling of an American university president towards Einstein
C. the difference between science and history
D. the change in human thought produced by Einstein
2. It seems to the American university president that ________.
A. Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in history
B. everybody understands Einstein’s scientific ideas
C. the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyone
D. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein
3. Einstein did his greatest work ________.
A. when Nazism rose
B. when he was young
C. during World War Ⅰ
D. after he left Europe
4. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. Germans usually have a high respect for science
B. Einstein had other interests besides science
C. Einstein was forced to work again in 1918
D. Einstein led a quiet life during World War Ⅰ
答案:1. D 2. D 3. B 4. A

Linus Pauling, the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes, was born in Portland, Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962, long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Orgon State College in 1922.He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it.
He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substance. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry, especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts, the amino acids(氨基酸), which are called the “building blocks of life”. In 1950, he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule, a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.
During World WarⅡ, Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security, for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However, the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules, he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.
From then on, Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts, The Nuclear?Test?Ban Treaty, declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones, came into effect on October 10, 1963, the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace.
1. From the first Paragraph, we learn that Linus Pauling________.
A. didn’t study hard while in Washington High School
B. is the only scientist who has won two Nobel Prizes
C. was once badly treated in Washington High School
D. chose to study chemical engineering to earn his living
2. Which of the following things did Pauling pay much attention to at first?
A. The “behavior” of molecules.
B. Physical chemistry.
C. Biological chemistry.
D. The human body.
3. Which of the following is legal according to The Nuclear?Test?Ban Treaty?
A. The use of nuclear weapons.
B. Testing hydrogen bomb on the ground.
C. Testing hydrogen bomb on underground.
D. The production of hydrogen bombs.
4. The main idea of the passage is to show________.
A. Linus Pauling’s attitude towards nuclear weapons
B. Linus Pauling’s contributions to the world
C. Linus Pauling’s research on the structure of molecules
D. Linus Pauling’s got the Nobel Prize for Peace
答案:1. D 2. B 3. C 4. B
Albert Einstein had a great effect on science and history, and his achievement was even greater than only a few other great scientists have achieved. An American university president once said that Einstein had made a new outlook, a new view of the universe. It may be some time before the average mind understands fully the identity(识别) of time and space and so on—but even ordinary men now understand that the universe is something larger than ever thought before.
By 1914 young Einstein had been world?famous. He accepted the offer to become a professor at the Prussian Academy of Science in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited chances for study, but soon his peace and quietness were broken by World War Ⅰ.
Einstein hated fighting and killing. The great suffering of war affected him deeply, and he sat unhappily in his office doing little. He lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.
In the year following World War Ⅰ’ honors were increasingly put on him. He became head of the Kaiser Whihem Institute of Theoretical Physics. But he himself refused the effort to put him in a position far above other people. He was well known for his humble(谦逊的) manner. He often said that his success would certainly have been achieved by others if he had never lived.
In 1921 he won the Nobel Prize, and he was honored in Germany until the rise of Nazism(纳粹) when he was driven from Germany because he was a Jew.
1. The main idea of the first paragraph is ________.
A. the difficulty of Einstein’s thought to others
B. the feeling of an American university president towards Einstein
C. the difference between science and history
D. the change in human thought produced by Einstein
2. It seems to the American university president that ________.
A. Einstein achieved more than any other scientist in history
B. everybody understands Einstein’s scientific ideas
C. the new view of the universe can be quickly learned by everyone
D. our ideas about the universe are different today because of Einstein
3. Einstein did his greatest work ________.
A. when Nazism rose
B. when he was young
C. during World War Ⅰ
D. after he left Europe
4. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. Germans usually have a high respect for science
B. Einstein had other interests besides science
C. Einstein was forced to work again in 1918
D. Einstein led a quiet life during World War Ⅰ
答案:1. D 2. D 3. B 4. A
Unit 1 Great scientists 语法篇
__________________________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________________________
理解过去分词做定语和表语的语法功能;
了解现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别;
能够正确使用过去分词作定语,学会作相关题目;
过去分词做定语和表语
1. 过去分词作定语
1)语法功能
过去分词或过去分词短语作定语时,其功能相当于一个定语从句。被修饰的词是分词所表示的行为的承受者;在逻辑上,它们是动宾关系。
The stolen bike belongs to Jack. The bike which was stolen belongs to Jack.
The lecture given by Professor Zhang is about environment protection.
The lecture which was given by Professor Zhang is about the environment protection.
单个的过去分词作定语时,位于它所修饰的名词或代词前面
the affected people受感染的人 a broken heart一颗破碎的心
a lost dog丧家之犬 a broken glass被打破的玻璃杯
Attention:过去分词修饰 something, everything, anything, nothing, somebody, nobody, those 等不定代词时,要放在这些词后面。
Is?there?anything?unsolved??
There?is?noting?changed?here?since?I?left?this?town.
过去分词短语作定语:通常后置,其作用相当于定语从句。
people exposed to cholera= people who was exposed to cholera
the book recommended by Jack= the book which was recommended by Jack
the machines produced last year= the machines which were produced last year
c. 不及物动词的过去分词作定语时不表被动,只表完成。
a risen sun已升起的太阳 the gone days 逝去的时光
fallen leaves 落叶
现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别:
现在分词作定语,表示正在进行的动作;过去分词作定语,所表示的动作在谓语所表示的动作之前发生,(或者没有一定的时间性)。
The letter posted yesterday will soon reach him.
Have you read the book recommended by your teacher? 这是你老师推荐的书吗?
对比:
①the changing world(正在变化的)the changed world(变化了的)
②boiling water(正在沸腾的)boiled water(已经沸腾过的)
③fading flowers(正在凋谢的) faded flowers(已经凋谢的)
④a developing country(发展中的) a developed country(发达的)
⑤a drowning man快要淹死的人 a drowned man已经淹死的人
⑥falling leaves正在飘落的树叶 fallen leaves落叶
⑦a retired worker退休工人 an escaped prisoner逃犯
3)及物动词的过去分词(done)与现在分词的被动式
(being done)都可以表示“被动”,但前者多表示一个完成了的动作,而后者则表示一个正在进行的动作。如:the problem discussed yesterday; the problem being discussed
2. 过去分词做表语
1) 过去分词(短语)作表语时, 其作用相当于adj.,说明的是主语的状态。
如:
①All the windows are broken.
②All hope is gone.
③He looked worried after reading the letter.
常见作表语的过去分词有: disappointed, drunk, amused, frightened, married, excited, experienced, interested, confused, pleased, puzzled, satisfied, tired, worried, gone, dressed, lost等。
注意: 过去分词作表语时和动词的被动语态结构相似,但两者表达的意思明显不同,前者说明主语的特点及所处的状态,而后者强调被动的动作。
如:
①My glasses are broken.我的眼镜碎了。(状态)
②My glasses were broken by my son.我的眼镜被我儿子摔碎了。(动作)

四、阅读理解
There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when,like all her other students,Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).
Teddy said,“Mrs. Thompson,today you smell just like my Mom used to. ”After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day,she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. (医学博士).
The story didn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference. ”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you. ”
1. What did Mrs. Thompson do on the first day of school?
A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.
B. She asked the children to play with Teddy.
C. She changed Teddy’s seat to the front row.
D. She told the class something untrue about herself.
2.What did Mrs. Thompson find out about Teddy?
A. He often told lies.
B. He was good at math.
C. He needed motherly care.
D. He enjoyed playing with others.
3. In what way did Mrs. Thompson change?
A. She taught fewer school subjects.
B. She became stricter with her students.
C. She no longer liked her job as a teacher.
D. She cared more about educating students.
4. Why did Teddy thank Mrs. Thompson at his wedding?
A. She had kept in touch with him.
B. She had given him encouragement.
C. She had sent him Christmas presents.
D. She had taught him how to judge people.
It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的)to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbled (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech?making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech?making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication (交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice?skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well?thought?out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
1. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ________.
A. be smarter than you
B. notice your mistakes
C. do better than you
D. know what you are talking about
2. You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because ________.
A. your attention is on the content
B. you don’t fully understand the speech
C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you find the way of speech?making more important
3. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. giving a speech is like giving a performance
B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C. listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech.
B. Speech?making is a kind of performance.
C. Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.
D. Listeners are not judges and they pay more attention to the content.

__________________________________________________________________________________
理解过去分词做定语和表语的语法功能;
了解现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别;
能够正确使用过去分词作定语,学会作相关题目;
过去分词做定语和表语
1. 过去分词作定语
1)语法功能
过去分词或过去分词短语作定语时,其功能相当于一个定语从句。被修饰的词是分词所表示的行为的承受者;在逻辑上,它们是动宾关系。
The stolen bike belongs to Jack. The bike which was stolen belongs to Jack.
The lecture given by Professor Zhang is about environment protection.
The lecture which was given by Professor Zhang is about the environment protection.
单个的过去分词作定语时,位于它所修饰的名词或代词前面
the affected people受感染的人 a broken heart一颗破碎的心
a lost dog丧家之犬 a broken glass被打破的玻璃杯
Attention:过去分词修饰 something, everything, anything, nothing, somebody, nobody, those 等不定代词时,要放在这些词后面。
Is?there?anything?unsolved??
There?is?noting?changed?here?since?I?left?this?town.
过去分词短语作定语:通常后置,其作用相当于定语从句。
people exposed to cholera= people who was exposed to cholera
the book recommended by Jack= the book which was recommended by Jack
the machines produced last year= the machines which were produced last year
c. 不及物动词的过去分词作定语时不表被动,只表完成。
a risen sun已升起的太阳 the gone days 逝去的时光
fallen leaves 落叶
现在分词与过去分词作定语的区别:
现在分词作定语,表示正在进行的动作;过去分词作定语,所表示的动作在谓语所表示的动作之前发生,(或者没有一定的时间性)。
The letter posted yesterday will soon reach him.
Have you read the book recommended by your teacher? 这是你老师推荐的书吗?
对比:
①the changing world(正在变化的)the changed world(变化了的)
②boiling water(正在沸腾的)boiled water(已经沸腾过的)
③fading flowers(正在凋谢的) faded flowers(已经凋谢的)
④a developing country(发展中的) a developed country(发达的)
⑤a drowning man快要淹死的人 a drowned man已经淹死的人
⑥falling leaves正在飘落的树叶 fallen leaves落叶
⑦a retired worker退休工人 an escaped prisoner逃犯
3)及物动词的过去分词(done)与现在分词的被动式
(being done)都可以表示“被动”,但前者多表示一个完成了的动作,而后者则表示一个正在进行的动作。如:the problem discussed yesterday; the problem being discussed
2. 过去分词做表语
1) 过去分词(短语)作表语时, 其作用相当于adj.,说明的是主语的状态。
如:
①All the windows are broken.
②All hope is gone.
③He looked worried after reading the letter.
常见作表语的过去分词有: disappointed, drunk, amused, frightened, married, excited, experienced, interested, confused, pleased, puzzled, satisfied, tired, worried, gone, dressed, lost等。
注意: 过去分词作表语时和动词的被动语态结构相似,但两者表达的意思明显不同,前者说明主语的特点及所处的状态,而后者强调被动的动作。
如:
①My glasses are broken.我的眼镜碎了。(状态)
②My glasses were broken by my son.我的眼镜被我儿子摔碎了。(动作)
1. —Where are the papers for the Smith project?
—They are in the folder ________ “S”.
(2014. 北京西城区二模)
A. marking B. marked C. to be marked D. to mark
解析:句意为:——史密斯工程需要用到的那些文件放到哪里了?——它们被放在标有“S”标记的文件夹里。folder和mark之间是动宾关系,所以要用过去分词形式marked。故答案选B。
答案:B
2. ________ the police thought he was the most likely one, since they had no exact proof about it, they could not arrest him.
A. Although B. As long as C. If only D. As soon as
解析:句意为:尽管警察认为他最有可能,但是由于没有确切的证据,他们不能逮捕他。although“虽然,尽管”,符合题意。as long as“只要”,if only“要是……就好了”;as soon as“一……就……”。
答案:A
3. Seeing their son playing computer games all day,the parents don’t know ________it.
A. how to do B. what to do C. how to deal with D. how to do with
解析:句意为:看到他们的儿子成天玩电脑游戏,父母不知道怎么办才好。此题强调的是怎样解决问题,所以选择C。do with与what连用,故排除D项。
答案:C
4. We ________ his idea for a music club, and decided to have an art club instead.
A. rejected B. accepted C. followed D. arranged
解析:由“decided to have an art club instead”可知选reject“拒绝,不接受”。
答案:A
5. I couldn’t do my homework with all that noise ________ on.
A. going B. goes C. went D. to go
解析:从with的复合结构的用法特点来看,此处缺少非谓语动词,所以排除B、C。虽然A、D两项都可以作补语,但两者所表示的时间不同:going on表示正在进行,to go on表示将来的动作,故排除D。此处with all that noise going on作伴随状语,可知A项正确。
答案:A

There was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs. Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He didn’t play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.
Then Mrs. Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs. Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when,like all her other students,Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).
Teddy said,“Mrs. Thompson,today you smell just like my Mom used to. ”After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day,she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.
Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs. Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F. Stoddard, M.D. (医学博士).
The story didn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr. Stoddard whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear, “Thank you, Mrs. Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference. ”
Mrs. Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you. ”

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的)to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.
Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King’s famous speech—“I Have a Dream”, you may notice that he stumbled (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech?making.
People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech?making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication (交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice?skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well?thought?out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.
As you work on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
1. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will ________.
A. be smarter than you

A. your attention is on the content
B. you don’t fully understand the speech
C. you don’t know what the speaker plans to say
D. you find the way of speech?making more important
3. It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A. giving a speech is like giving a performance
B. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad
C. listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is made
D. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will be
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. If you are careful enough, you can make a perfect speech.
B. Speech?making is a kind of performance.
C. Martin Luther King is not a good speaker.

Madame Curie
Madame Curie was a world famous woman scientist, who was born in a teacher’s family in Poland in 1867 and died in 1934.
From her early childhood, she loved to study and hoped to become a scientist. She finished middle school at the age of 16. She left for Paris and entered Paris University when she was 24. Also, she lived a very simple life and studied very hard.
Madame Curie devoted her whole life to the study of science. It was in 1903 and in 1911 that she won the Nobel Prize for physics and for chemistry. It was not easy for a woman to succeed at that time. It was even more difficult for a woman to win the Nobel Prize twice in life.
Madame Curie will always be remembered as a great woman.
