Module 5 Newspapers and Magazines
The style collector
It's ten o'clock on Sunday morning and Nathan Bradshaw is sitting in front of a clothes stall (摊位) in Camden Market in London. But he isn't buying anything — he's drawing pictures in a notebook. “I'm watching the people. I want to see what they are wearing and what they are buying.” Nathan collects styles. He comes to Camden every Sunday and spends hours drawing the clothes he sees there. “Camden is a great place because a lot of the people who come here wear really unusual things: they mix different styles and colors, and the results are often fantastic”．
When did Nathan first get interested in fashion (时尚)? “When I was fifteen, I had a Saturday job in the clothes department of a big store and I helped at a fashion show for the customers. After that I got bored with selling clothes and I decided that I wanted to become a fashion designer.” Does he want to be another Calvin Klein or Stella McCartney? He laughs. “Of course I'd like to be rich and famous, but there are only a few designers who are on TV and in magazines. There are a lot more who nobody knows: they work long hours and don't earn much money. I think the job is exciting and creative, but it's certainly not glamorous (富有魅力的)．”
Does Nathan plan to do a course in clothes design? “Oh yes, when I finish school. I'm reading about the fashion industry on the Internet at the moment, and all the articles say you need to go to fashion school and learn to cut fabric (布料) and make clothes if you want to be successful. It's not enough to be a good artist.”

1．动词不定式作定语 the third nation to.... 做……的第三个国家

昨天上午9点，杨利伟在中国西北部的酒泉起飞，中国成为世界上第三个把人送入太空的国家。
本句to send a man into space为动词不定式短语作后置定语，修饰the third nation。nation与send存在逻辑上的主谓关系。
He is the best man to do the job.
他是这个工作最好的人选。
He is the first to come to the class and the last to leave.
他总是第一个到教室，最后一个离开。
归纳总结 当被修饰的词是序数词或与序数词连用时，后面多用不定式作定语而不用现在分词(-ing形式)。此时名词前常用序数词first, second, third，以及last, only或best与定冠词the连用。
用不定式作定语的几种情况：
①表示将来意义；
②被修饰词是序数词、最高级、the only，the last等；
③一些抽象名词ability，chance，idea，fact，reason，time，way等。
She was the only woman to win the prize.

They rushed over to help the man whose car had broken down.
那人车坏了，大家都跑过去帮忙。
Please pass me the book whose cover is green.
请递给我那本绿皮的书。
[句式分析]
whose parents were born in China是非限制性定语从句，修饰Lu，起补充说明的作用。
whose引导定语从句时，先行词既可以是人也可以是物。
①先行词指人时，whose＋名词＝the＋名词＋of whom＝of whom＋the＋名词。
②先行词指物时，whose＋名词＝the＋名词＋of which＝of which＋the＋名词。
The house whose windows are broken is empty.
＝The house, the windows of which are broken is empty.
＝The house, of which the windows are broken is empty.

Madeleine Hamilton's school in Franklin, Tennessee, recently made a big decision: Recess (课间休息) would come back. Madeleine and her sixth-grade classmates would go outside for 20 minutes every day. They could catch up with friends and kick a soccer ball around. “Recess is the one break in the day to relax and have fun，” she says.
Most middle school students don't get that chance. That's because most middle schools don't have recess anymore. Experts say that about 40 percent of U．S. school districts have cut recess time.
Now, more and more experts agree: Schools should put recess back on the schedule (日程表)．
Students have been heading outside for recess since at least the 1800s. But in the 1980s, some U．S. schools started to cut recess. Why? American student weren't doing as well in school as students in other countries. To catch up, many schools in the U．S. cut recess. This made more time in the schedule for important subjects like science and math.
But research shows that taking a break can actually help students learn. Your brain can get overwhelmed (应接不暇的) when you move from subject to subject without a break. That makes it harder for you to remember new information. Scientists say that resting your brain helps it work better.
Even adults have started taking breaks to rest their brains — and play. At Google, employees can stop working to use the office's LEGO station. And workers at Facebook can play video games in the company's arcade (游戏机厅)．
Recess doesn't just help students learn. Moving around can also help keep kids healthy. People who exercise daily can avoid extreme sadness. They are also less likely to become overweight.
Of course, kids can get hurt playing sports like dodgeball. Some schools have cut recess to avoid broken arms and legs. Schools also need adults to keep students safe on the playground during recess. Some schools can't afford to pay anyone to do this_job.
And 73 percent of school-age kids in America play sports or do other athletic activities after school. Do they really need to take time out of busy school days for recess?
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章探讨了中学是否应该增设课间休息。
4．How does Madeleine feel about her school's big decision?
A．Worried. B．Excited.
C．Moved. D．Surprised.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由第一段中的“a big decision: Recess would come back”和Madeleine说的“Recess is the one break in the day to relax and have fun”可知，对于这一决定她很高兴。
5．Why did many U．S. schools cut recess in the 1980s?
A．To ensure students' safety.
B．To shorten students' school days.
C．To save time for students to study.
D．To let students play sports after school.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由第四段中的“American students weren't doing as well in school as students in other countries. To catch up, many schools in the U．S. cut recess”可知，上世纪八十年代，许多美国学校取消课间休息是为了让学生们有更多学习的时间。
6．What's the real purpose of the LEGO station at Google?
A．To help workers relax.
B．To keep workers strong.
C．To provide new information for workers.
D．To help workers learn how LEGO works.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由倒数第四段中的“Even adults have started taking breaks to rest their brains — and play”可知，谷歌公司允许员工停下工作玩乐高是为了让他们得到休息。
7．What does the underlined part “this job” refer to?
A．Teaching students how to play sports like dodgeball.
B．Protecting students from getting hurt during a break.
C．Designing after-school athletic activities for students.
D．Giving students medical care if they are hurt at school.
答案与解析：B 篇章结构题。由画线部分前的“cut recess to avoid broken arms and legs和need adults to keep students safe on the playground during recess”可知，由于有些活动会使孩子受伤，因此学校需要有成人在课间休息时间保证学生的安全。但有些学校承担不起雇人做这一工作的费用。

课件80张PPT。Section Ⅰ Introduction &
Reading and Vocabulary Section Ⅱ Grammar
时间状语从句和原因状语从句
一、时间状语从句
1．when, while和as
(1)when引导时间状语从句的用法
①when引导时间状语从句时，句中的谓语动词既可为延续性动作，也可为瞬时性动作，可用于主句和从句动作同时发生或从句动作先于主句动作发生。例如：
When I lived in the countryside, I used to go fishing with my fellows.(延续性动作)
我住在乡下时，常和伙伴们去钓鱼。
When the lecture finished, the audience warmly clapped Yi Zhongtian.(瞬时性动作)
演讲结束时，听众向易中天热烈鼓掌。
②when可以用作并列连词，其意义为“那时，这时”，相当于and at this/that time。例如：
We were having a meeting when someone broke in.
我们正在开会，这时一个人闯了进来。
③when还表示原因，相当于since(既然；考虑到)。例如：
It was foolish of you to do it when you have realised its impossibility.
既然你已意识到不可能做这件事，却去做了，真够愚蠢的。
温馨提示：当when引导的从句是系表结构，且主语和主句的主语一致，其表语又是一个名词时，就可以用以as引导的省略句来代替when引导的从句。例如：
As a young man (＝When he was a young man), he was fond of reading.
他年轻时，喜欢读书。
(2)while的用法
①while引导的状语从句中的动作必须是延续性的，侧重主句动作和从句动作的相比性。例如：
Don't talk with others while your mouth is full.
吃东西时别对着别人说话。
②while作为并列连词，意为“而，却”，表示对比。例如：
I like staying at home on weekends, while my wife enjoys going shopping.
周末我喜欢待在家里，而妻子喜欢去购物。
③while作从属连词，意为“尽管”，有时还等于although。例如：
While (Although) I am willing to help, I do not have enough time.
尽管我乐意帮忙，但没有足够的时间。
(3)as的用法
as引导的状语从句中谓语动词可为延续性动作，表示从句和主句两个动作交替进行或同时发生，可译为“一边……，(一边)……”或“随着……”。例如：
She hurried to work, looking behind at her son as she went out.
她匆忙去上班，边出门边回头看儿子。
As time went on, he missed his parents more and more.
随着时间的推移，他越来越思念父母亲。
2．every time, each time, next time, the first time等名词短语用来引导时间状语从句，表示“每次……，下次……”。例如：
Each time I met with difficulty, my teacher would help me.
每次我遇到困难，老师都会帮助我。
The first time I climbed Mount Tai, I was impressed with her beauty.
第一次爬泰山，我就被她的美景吸引住了。
3.before和since
(1)before的用法
①before表示“还未……就；不到……就；……才，还没来得及”。例如：
We hadn't run a while before Tom felt tired.
我们还没跑一会儿，汤姆就累了。
Please note down before you forget.
趁着没忘记，请记下来。
②It will be＋一段时间＋before...多久之后才……。例如：
It will be one month before I complete it.
我一个月之后才能完成。
It won't be long before we graduate.
不久我们就毕业了。
(2)since的用法
①since从句的谓语动词一般是非延续性动词，主句的谓语动词是延续性的或者是反复发生的动作。since从句的时态如果是一般过去时，相应地，主句的时态是现在完成时或是现在完成进行时。例如：
I have never heard of him since he left home.
自他离家出走，我至今没听到他的消息。
They have been working for the factory since they came here.
他们自来到这里，就一直为这个工厂干活。
②在“It is＋一段时间＋since从句”句型中，时间的计算一律从since从句的动作完成或状态结束时算起。例如：
It is three years since I moved to London.
我搬到伦敦三年了。
It is ten years since I've seen her.
我已经十年没见她了。
二、原因状语从句
引导原因状语从句的常用连词有because(因为), as(由于), since/now that(既然)等。
because
语气最强，表示的是直接的理由。可用来回答why引导的问句，可用于强调句型
它所引导的从句常放在主句后
as
语气较弱，较口语化，表示较明显的原因或已知的事实
它所引导的从句常放在主句前
since/
now that
语气较弱，所表示的原因为人们已知的事实。常译为“既然”
since常和now that互换，但now that可用来说明一种新情况，然后加以推理
I can't get to sleep because there is much noise outside.
由于外面声音嘈杂我睡不着。
As he was in a hurry, he left this bag home.
由于他太匆忙才把包丢在了家里。
Since it is late, I shall go home now.
由于时间太晚了，我现在要回家了。
Now that the rain has stopped, let's go home at once.
既然雨已经停了，我们马上回家吧。
[名师点津] for“因为”后跟句子时，不是从属连词而是并列连词，是用来说明、补充解释或表示一种推理，所以for后面的并列句不能置于句首。
The day breaks, for the birds are singing.
天亮了，因为鸟儿都在叫了。
[考情分析]
高考要求学生应该掌握各类状语从句，能够掌握各类状语从句的常见连词，能够根据语境和逻辑关系选用恰当的状语从句的连词。某些常见连词的特殊含义和用法也是高考的考查点之一。每年的高考试卷中都会对状语从句以及连词进行考查。2018、2017年课标全国卷Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ均考查了状语从句中连词的运用。
[相似助记]
表示“一……就……”的结构可以归纳为：
①“the＋名词”类：the moment, the minute, the second, the instant
②副词类：immediately, instantly, directly
③结构类：Hardly/Scarcely... when..., No sooner... than...
④介词短语类：on/upon＋doing或on/upon＋名词
[高考佳句]
Debra Avery has been a horse lover since she was a little girl in San Diego.
在圣迭戈，自从Debra Avery还是个小女孩的时候，她已经是一个骑马爱好者了。
If you don't understand something, you may research, study, and talk to other people until you figure it out.

It's a Friday morning in Boston, which means Dr. Jim O'Connell is making his rounds. He might be more comfortable inside an exam room, but that's not where his patients are. O'Connell is one of a handful of doctors making house calls to the homeless in the city.
O'Connell was studying at Harvard Medical School when his teacher suggested he take what was supposed to be a one-year position as the founding doctor of a new health-care program for Boston's homeless. That turned into a 33-year career (事业) at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), one of the country's largest of its kind.
“You realize, ‘You know what, I'm just a doctor. And what I can do is I can get to know you and ease your suffering，’” O'Connell said. “You could not find a more grateful (感恩的) population.”
And his patients are grateful. “This man is unbelievable！” one said.
O'Connell treats the homeless for just about everything, from stitches (缝针) for an arm to surgery (手术) for the soul. If patients can't be treated on the street, he find them a treatment bed at the organization's medical room, a place for patients who are to sick to be on the streets but not ill enough for a hospital stay.
“Everything I had been taught to do [in medical school] — go fast, be efficient (效率高的) — was useless when you take care of homeless people，” O'Connell told Harvard Magazine. “When you see somebody outside, you get them a cup of coffee and sit with them. Sometimes it took six months or a year of offering a sandwich or coffee before someone would start to talk to you .But once they open their heart, they'll come to you anytime because they trust you.”
When asked about how his life might have turned out had he become a highly paid hospital doctor, O' Connell, said, “I never think about it anymore.”
Some things are more valuable than money. Just ask the man who gets everything from patients who have nothing material(物质的) to give.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。有一位特殊的医生，他的查房地点不在医院，而在街头巷尾。
1．For what reason did O'Connell start treating the homeless?

答案与解析：B 细节理解题。由第二段中的“his teacher suggested he take... for Boston's homeless”可知，O'Connell的大学老师建议他参加一个为波士顿无家可归的人提供医疗服务的项目。
2．What will O'Connell do if patients can't be treated on the street?
A．Take them to BHCHP.
B．Take them to a hospital.
C．Take them to his own house.
D．Take them to his exam room.
答案与解析：A 细节理解题。由第五段中的“If patients can't be treated on the street... organization's medical room”可知，如果病人无法在街头接受治疗，O'Connell会在组织(BHCHP)的医疗室为他们提供一张床。

His master looked at them and said, “If you __3__ me, I will add more scratches on both the shoes.”
I was __4__ and asked why.
He explained, “As if the openings were made __5__ for a special style.”
I didn't fully understand him, __6__ I decided to leave the shoes.
Two days later I dropped by from work to __7__ the shoes. I found more scratches on each shoe; all the openings were patched (缝补) by soft red leather; the stitches (针脚) were twisted with the appearance looking more __8__ and interesting than ever. I couldn't help praising the master's __9__.
Another time, my sister's blouse was torn, leaving a large opening. My wife checked it __10__， and then said, “Let me take it home and __11__ it.”
Three days later, seeing it again, I was greatly __12__： all the torn parts took on a look of crystal (水晶); attached to it was a snowman made of flowery rags. I sighed with __13__， “It's amazing！”
“I was __14__ by that shoemaker. Patches are supposed to be __15__， but a skillful craftsman (工匠) can make it take on a kind of __16__，” replied my wife.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文通过老鞋匠把作者的女儿被划破的鞋子修补成一双款式新颖的鞋和作者的妻子受此启发修补衬衫的故事，告诉了我们一个道理：只要动脑筋，缺点可以转变成优点，这才是人生的意义。
1．A.scar B．opening
C．hole D．mark
答案与解析：B 考查名词辨析。根据第五空前面的“the openings”可知，此处表示年轻的学徒看了看鞋的“开口处”。并且文中也多次出现了openings一词。故此题选B。scar伤疤；hole洞；mark标记。
2．A.replace B．remove
C．throw D．tear
答案与解析：A 考查动词辨析。此处表示年轻的学徒对被刀子划破的鞋子无能为力，只能替换鞋面。replace替换，代替；remove移开；throw扔；tear撕破。后三项都不符合语境。故选A。
3．A.tell B．show
C．agree D．trust
答案与解析：D 考查动词辨析。上文提到学徒只能更换被划破的鞋面，除此之外，无计可施。再根据师傅所说的话可知他另有妙招，但是前提条件是获得作者的“信任”。假如选择C项，需要在后面加上with。故选D。
4．A.delighted B．confused
C．excited D．astonished
答案与解析：B 考查形容词辨析。作者的目的是修鞋，而修鞋师傅竟然打算在鞋上增加更多的划痕，作者自然感到“迷惑不解”，并询问其中原因，要求他做出解释。delighted高兴的；confused迷惑的；excited兴奋的；astonished吃惊的。故选B。
5．A.on purpose B．by chance
C．in particular D．in turn
答案与解析：A 考查介词短语辨析。此处表示这些开口像是为了某种特殊的风格而“故意”做的造型。on purpose故意；by chance偶然；in particular尤其，特别，in turn相应地，轮流。后三项都不符合语境。故选A。
6．A.so B．and
C．as D．but
答案与解析：D 考查连词辨析。此处表示作者虽然没有完全明白他的意思，但还是决定把这双鞋留在这儿。此处含有转折之意。故选D。
7．A.bring B．collect
C．see D．return
答案与解析：B 考查动词辨析。根据上文可知，作者把鞋交给了修鞋师傅，所以两天后应该是去取鞋。故选B。
8．A.successful B．skillful
C．attractive D．positive
答案与解析：C 考查形容词辨析。根据后面的单词interesting可知，弯弯曲曲的针脚使缝补的地方看起来更加“吸引人”。此处应选同类词attractive吸引人的。successful成功的；skillful熟练的；positive积极的。
9．A.skill B．drill
C．performance D．strength
答案与解析：A 考查名词辨析。根据前面的praising一词可知，此处表示作者情不自禁地赞美修鞋师傅的“技术”。此外，倒数第二段中的skillful也是提示。skill技术；drill训练；performance表演；strength力量。故选A。
10．A.anxiously B．suddenly
C．carefully D．delightedly
答案与解析：C 考查副词辨析。根据上文可知，这次是衬衫被撕破，留下一个大口子，妻子“仔细地”检查过之后做出决定，要拿回家补一补。故选C。

C．save D．mend
答案与解析：D 考查动词辨析。参见上题解析。
12．A.puzzled B．disappointed
C．surprised D．touched

13．A.anger B．regret
C．praise D．care
答案与解析：C 考查名词辨析。作者想不到一件被撕破的衬衫在妻子的巧妙设计下竟然变成了工艺品，自然由衷地“赞叹”。空后的“It's amazing”也是提示。故选C。
14．A.encouraged B．inspired
C．moved D．attracted
答案与解析：B 考查动词辨析。根据上文可知，作者的妻子是在修鞋师傅的启发下才对那件被撕破的衬衫进行了巧妙的修补。此外，下一段开头处的inspired也是提示。encourage鼓励；inspire鼓舞，赋予灵感；move感动；attract吸引。故选B。
15．A.common B．beautiful
C．ugly D．rare
答案与解析：C 考查形容词辨析。根据生活常识可知“补丁”一般被认为是非常“难看的”。故选C。
16．A.difference B．perfection
C．newness D．change
答案与解析：B 考查名词辨析。根据下文的“perfection is impossible to achieve”可知，此处表示能工巧匠却可以让补丁变得十分“完美”。故选B。
17．A.future B．mind
C．life D．place
答案与解析：C 考查名词辨析。根据后一句可知，此处是作者根据上文的叙述而引发的感慨：人生不可能达到完美。故选C。
18．A.form B．name
C．shape D．need

19．A.treat B．accept
C．ignore D．expect
答案与解析：D 考查动词辨析。此处表示既然你改变不了伤口的存在，你就不应该揭开伤口来期望得到人们的同情，这是毫无意义的。而缝补伤口，把缺陷变成完美，这样的人生才有意义。故选D。
20．A.wound B．pain
C．injury D．disability
答案与解析：A 考查名词辨析。此处表示在“伤口”上打个补丁并点缀上美丽的花朵，这就是人生的意义。故选A。

《纽约时报》(The New York Times)有相当高的影响力，是美国高级报纸、严肃刊物的代表，长期以来拥有良好的公信力和权威性。其创始人是亨利·贾维斯·雷蒙德(Henry Jarvis Raymond)和乔治·琼斯(George Jones)。《纽约时报》很少首先报道一个事件，假如它真的首先报道一个事件的话，那么这个报道的可靠性是非常高的，因此世界上其他报纸和新闻社往往直接视它为新闻来源。2016年4月18日及2017年4月10日，《纽约时报》都获得了普利策国际报道奖。2018年4月16日，《纽约时报》自由撰稿人Jake Halpern和自由漫画家Michael Sloan荣获2018年度普利策奖社论漫画奖。

英国和美国的日报
英国的报纸可以分为“高品质报纸”(比较严肃的报纸)和“通俗类报纸”。高品质报纸上有国内外新闻、体育赛事和文化动态。它们也刊登财经报道、旅游信息、书评和影评。
通俗类报纸也称作“小报”。它们有大标题和大量的大幅照片，并将注意力集中在有关名人的新闻事件和英国皇室新闻上。
《泰晤士报》是最著名的高品质报纸。它始于1785年。其读者包括政治家、律师和商人等重要人物。创办于1964年的《太阳报》，是最成功的通俗类报纸。每天大约有400万人阅读此报，其销量比其他任何日报(的销量)都大。
在美国，报纸通常冠以其出版所在的城市的名字(如：《纽约时报》)。你可以在全国各地买到几家更大的报纸。美国也有许多类似于英国小报那样的报纸，如《纽约每日新闻》。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A study of a prehistoric dog that was buried (埋葬) with two people shows that the animal had experienced several bouts (发作) of a possibly deadly illness. The fact it survived them suggests its owners cared for their dog as a pet.
The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was discovered a century ago in Germany. It was buried alongside the remains of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s. All are about 14,200 years old.
A common idea is that prehistoric humans trained dogs to put them to work. Maybe the first dogs helped, with hunting (捕猎), guarded houses or were used to carry things.
However, Janssens and other researchers at Ghent University in Belgium say there is a possibility that we trained dogs simply because we liked having them as pets.
Their study of the dog shows it was in terrible health. Although only about 7 months old when it died, the dog had experienced three periods of serious illness when it was between 19 and 23 weeks old.
“The first bout would have been enough to be deadly to most dogs in the wild，” says Janssens. “Then came two other bouts, and the possibility that the animal would have survived without human help is very, very low.”
The researchers argue that the sick dog would have been unable to do any useful work. In fact, keeping it alive was probably an unpleasant task for its owners.
Its survival suggests that its owners felt friendship, just like a modern dog owner. “This is the first time we have found evidence (证据) to suggest that dogs were treated without expectation of any usefulness，” says Janssens.
Friendship may have helped drive dog training, says Mietje Germonpré at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “Baby wolves could have been kept to provide company，” she says. “This raising of baby wolves as pets could have been a stepping stone on the way to the training of the dog.”
It is important that the dog was buried, says Pat Shipman at Pennsylvania State University. “When you start burying animals, it means a special relationship of some kind.”

课件73张PPT。Section Ⅳ Writing — 如何写新闻报道
[写作任务]
星光中学(Xingguang High School)近期举行了一次登山活动。假定你是学校英文报记者，请写一篇短文，报道此次活动。内容包括：
1．时间与地点：4月10日，大青山(Daqing Mountain)；
2．活动的过程；
3．你对这次活动的评论。
注意：
1．词数120左右；
2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
[写作指导]
一、审题定调
该写作要求写一篇新闻报道。新闻报道是记叙文的一种，其特点是以事实为依据，对人的经历或事件给予明确的、实事求是的报道。新闻报道和新闻评论有时候是结合在一起的，所以在讲述事实之后，可以发表作者的评论。
新闻报道的语言偏正式，要求具体、准确、精炼。人称可以用第三人称或第一人称。在时态方面，叙述事件用过去时，评论常用一般现在时。
二、谋篇布局
新闻报道往往分四个部分来写。
第一部分：标题。
第二部分：导语。大体交代新闻事件，主要包含新闻事件的时间、地点、人物、事件及缘由等。
第三部分：主体。描述事件过程。
第四部分：结语。总结全文或发表评论。
三、组织语言
高考中新闻报道的标题通常已给出或省略，因此同学们大多只需写出其它部分即可。
第二部分：导语。大体交代新闻事件，主要包含新闻事件的时间、地点、人物、事件及缘由等。

★Besides, we were able to develop our friendship as well.

技巧点拨
1．新闻报道的特点
(1)真实性：新闻是对事实的客观描述和写真。真实是新闻的生命，这是新闻的基本要义；
(2)客观性：客观地叙述新闻事实是坚持新闻报道真实性的前提，所以不能随意发挥，也不宜过早下结论。
2．写作步骤
开篇点明要介绍的新闻事件；中间介绍这个事件的细节，包括：时间、地点、经过等；最后陈述事件的意义所在。
3．常用表达
There are different opinions among people as to... Some people suggest that...
... has been playing an important role in our daily life. It has brought us a lot of benefits but created some serious problems as well.
It is high time the authorities concerned took proper steps to solve...

Madeleine Hamilton's school in Franklin, Tennessee, recently made a big decision: Recess (课间休息) would come back. Madeleine and her sixth-grade classmates would go outside for 20 minutes every day. They could catch up with friends and kick a soccer ball around. “Recess is the one break in the day to relax and have fun，” she says.
Most middle school students don't get that chance. That's because most middle schools don't have recess anymore. Experts say that about 40 percent of U．S. school districts have cut recess time.
Now, more and more experts agree: Schools should put recess back on the schedule (日程表)．
Students have been heading outside for recess since at least the 1800s. But in the 1980s, some U．S. schools started to cut recess. Why? American student weren't doing as well in school as students in other countries. To catch up, many schools in the U．S. cut recess. This made more time in the schedule for important subjects like science and math.
But research shows that taking a break can actually help students learn. Your brain can get overwhelmed (应接不暇的) when you move from subject to subject without a break. That makes it harder for you to remember new information. Scientists say that resting your brain helps it work better.
Even adults have started taking breaks to rest their brains — and play. At Google, employees can stop working to use the office's LEGO station. And workers at Facebook can play video games in the company's arcade (游戏机厅)．
Recess doesn't just help students learn. Moving around can also help keep kids healthy. People who exercise daily can avoid extreme sadness. They are also less likely to become overweight.
Of course, kids can get hurt playing sports like dodgeball. Some schools have cut recess to avoid broken arms and legs. Schools also need adults to keep students safe on the playground during recess. Some schools can't afford to pay anyone to do this_job.
And 73 percent of school-age kids in America play sports or do other athletic activities after school. Do they really need to take time out of busy school days for recess?
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章探讨了中学是否应该增设课间休息。
4．How does Madeleine feel about her school's big decision?
A．Worried. B．Excited.
C．Moved. D．Surprised.
答案与解析：B 推理判断题。由第一段中的“a big decision: Recess would come back”和Madeleine说的“Recess is the one break in the day to relax and have fun”可知，对于这一决定她很高兴。
5．Why did many U．S. schools cut recess in the 1980s?
A．To ensure students' safety.
B．To shorten students' school days.
C．To save time for students to study.
D．To let students play sports after school.
答案与解析：C 细节理解题。由第四段中的“American students weren't doing as well in school as students in other countries. To catch up, many schools in the U．S. cut recess”可知，上世纪八十年代，许多美国学校取消课间休息是为了让学生们有更多学习的时间。
6．What's the real purpose of the LEGO station at Google?
A．To help workers relax.
B．To keep workers strong.
C．To provide new information for workers.
D．To help workers learn how LEGO works.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由倒数第四段中的“Even adults have started taking breaks to rest their brains — and play”可知，谷歌公司允许员工停下工作玩乐高是为了让他们得到休息。
7．What does the underlined part “this job” refer to?
A．Teaching students how to play sports like dodgeball.
B．Protecting students from getting hurt during a break.
C．Designing after-school athletic activities for students.
D．Giving students medical care if they are hurt at school.
答案与解析：B 篇章结构题。由画线部分前的“cut recess to avoid broken arms and legs和need adults to keep students safe on the playground during recess”可知，由于有些活动会使孩子受伤，因此学校需要有成人在课间休息时间保证学生的安全。但有些学校承担不起雇人做这一工作的费用。

It's a Friday morning in Boston, which means Dr. Jim O'Connell is making his rounds. He might be more comfortable inside an exam room, but that's not where his patients are. O'Connell is one of a handful of doctors making house calls to the homeless in the city.
O'Connell was studying at Harvard Medical School when his teacher suggested he take what was supposed to be a one-year position as the founding doctor of a new health-care program for Boston's homeless. That turned into a 33-year career (事业) at the Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program (BHCHP), one of the country's largest of its kind.
“You realize, ‘You know what, I'm just a doctor. And what I can do is I can get to know you and ease your suffering，’” O'Connell said. “You could not find a more grateful (感恩的) population.”
And his patients are grateful. “This man is unbelievable！” one said.
O'Connell treats the homeless for just about everything, from stitches (缝针) for an arm to surgery (手术) for the soul. If patients can't be treated on the street, he find them a treatment bed at the organization's medical room, a place for patients who are to sick to be on the streets but not ill enough for a hospital stay.
“Everything I had been taught to do [in medical school] — go fast, be efficient (效率高的) — was useless when you take care of homeless people，” O'Connell told Harvard Magazine. “When you see somebody outside, you get them a cup of coffee and sit with them. Sometimes it took six months or a year of offering a sandwich or coffee before someone would start to talk to you .But once they open their heart, they'll come to you anytime because they trust you.”
When asked about how his life might have turned out had he become a highly paid hospital doctor, O' Connell, said, “I never think about it anymore.”
Some things are more valuable than money. Just ask the man who gets everything from patients who have nothing material(物质的) to give.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A study of a prehistoric dog that was buried (埋葬) with two people shows that the animal had experienced several bouts (发作) of a possibly deadly illness. The fact it survived them suggests its owners cared for their dog as a pet.
The Bonn-Oberkassel dog was discovered a century ago in Germany. It was buried alongside the remains of a man in his 40s and a woman in her 20s. All are about 14,200 years old.
A common idea is that prehistoric humans trained dogs to put them to work. Maybe the first dogs helped, with hunting (捕猎), guarded houses or were used to carry things.
However, Janssens and other researchers at Ghent University in Belgium say there is a possibility that we trained dogs simply because we liked having them as pets.
Their study of the dog shows it was in terrible health. Although only about 7 months old when it died, the dog had experienced three periods of serious illness when it was between 19 and 23 weeks old.
“The first bout would have been enough to be deadly to most dogs in the wild，” says Janssens. “Then came two other bouts, and the possibility that the animal would have survived without human help is very, very low.”
The researchers argue that the sick dog would have been unable to do any useful work. In fact, keeping it alive was probably an unpleasant task for its owners.
Its survival suggests that its owners felt friendship, just like a modern dog owner. “This is the first time we have found evidence (证据) to suggest that dogs were treated without expectation of any usefulness，” says Janssens.
Friendship may have helped drive dog training, says Mietje Germonpré at the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels. “Baby wolves could have been kept to provide company，” she says. “This raising of baby wolves as pets could have been a stepping stone on the way to the training of the dog.”
It is important that the dog was buried, says Pat Shipman at Pennsylvania State University. “When you start burying animals, it means a special relationship of some kind.”
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。研究发现人类最早驯养狗可能是为了将其当做宠物。

A．It was raised as a pet.
B．It was good at hunting.

A．It died of an injury.
B．It was strictly trained.
C．It was quite old when it died.

A．Strong-minded. B．Hard-working.
C．Cheerful. D．Caring.
答案与解析：D 推理判断题。由倒数第三段中的“Its survival suggests that its owners felt friendship, just like a modern dog owner.”可知，狗的主人是很体贴的。
4．What did prehistoric humans' burying dogs suggest according to Pat Shipman?
A．They had deep feelings for dogs.
B．They followed special cultural traditions.
C．They placed importance on animal deaths.
D．They raised dogs differently from other animals.
答案与解析：A 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“When you start burying animals, it means a special relationship of some kind.”可知，史前人类埋葬狗意味着他们与狗之间存在深厚的感情。

I walked up to her and asked the reason. When asking, she said, “I just want to earn some pocket money so that we can help some children in poor areas go back to school.” How a good girl! I should learn from her.

①答案与解析：wait改为waited 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语Last Sunday可知，这里叙述的是过去的事情，故应用一般过去时。
②答案与解析：classmate改为classmates 考查名词的数。one of...表示“……之一”，其后常接可数名词复数。
③答案与解析：like改为as 考查介词。句中work as...“从事……工作”是常用搭配。
④答案与解析：Honest改为Honestly 考查副词。此处speaking是现在分词， 用副词修饰。honestly speaking“说实话”。
⑤答案与解析：在great前加a 考查冠词。此处surprise是可数名词，表示“令人惊奇的事”，不定冠词a表示泛指，置于其他形容词之前。
⑥答案与解析：richer改为rich 考查形容词。句意：据我所知，她来自一个富裕的家庭。根据语境可知，此处不用比较级形式。
⑦答案与解析：去掉work前的to 考查固定句式。make sb. do sth.“让某人做某事”，用不带to的动词不定式作宾语补足语。
⑧答案与解析：asking改为asked 考查省略。在时间状语从句中，如果从句主语与主句主语一致，且从句谓语含有be动词，可以省略从句中的主语和be动词。“when asked”相当于“when she was asked”，主语she与ask之间是动宾关系，故用asked。
