Module 3 Adventure in literature and the cinema
I remember dreaming for years about living abroad. First it was Italy where I could discover my roots. Then it was Fiji because it seemed like the furthest place from Los Angeles.
After Fiji, my daily routine involved waking up early, working all day, and studying all night. As I'm writing this, I could picture myself a year and a half ago, sitting in my office, gazing out of the 20th floor, and wondering what it would be like to live in another country. Then one day I chose to stop dreaming. Instead, I chose to start planning.
I gave myself eight months to save enough money and plan where I would go. My goal was to live abroad for a year. I did two jobs, sometimes three, so I could save enough money for the school loans and credit card bills which I would still have to pay while I was gone. I had no social life, but I knew that I was working toward a life?changing experience.
I wanted to get over the fluency hump in Spanish, so I looked into countries in Latin America. In September of 2011 I quit my job and moved to Costa Rica. I volunteered to teach English at a local school in a poor neighborhood for two months. It was rewarding beyond belief.
Suddenly, panic struck. In December my money was going to run out and I would have to go home. As fate would have it, two weeks before I was due to leave, a friend told me about a job in a local company where she had just started working. She knew my background was in marketing and social media, and they just happened to have a Social Media Manager opening. I interviewed and got the job!
Then, as fate would have it again, the Director of Communications quit the day I started. After the initial shock, I decided that my journey didn't end there and applied for her position and then I became the new Director of Communications for a multimillion dollar company in Costa Rica!

The Steamboat
There was a big storm after midnight and the rain poured① down. We stayed inside the shelter② we had built③ and let the raft sail down the river. Suddenly, by the light of④ the lightning, we saw something in the middle of the river. It looked like⑤ a house at first⑥， but then we realized it was a steamboat. It had hit a rock and was half in and half out of⑦ the water. We were sailing straight⑧ towards it.

[第1段译文]
后半夜来了一场暴风雨，大雨倾盆而下。我们躲进了自己事先搭起来的避雨棚，让木筏沿河顺流而下。突然，借助闪电的光亮，我们看到河中间有东西。一开始它看上去像座房子，但后来我们意识到那是一艘汽船。它触礁了，一半沉到水里，一半露在水面上。我们的木筏正径直朝着它驶去。
“It looks as if⑨ it'll go under soon，” Jim said, after a couple of⑩ minutes.
“Let's go and take a look?，” I said.
“I don't want to board? a sinking ship，” said Jim, but when I suggested that we might find something useful on the boat, he agreed to go?. So we paddled? over and climbed on to the steamboat, keeping? as quiet as mice?. To our astonishment?， there was a light in one of the cabins. Then we heard someone shout?， “Oh please boys, don't kill me! I won't tell anybody！”
A man's angry voice answered, “You're lying?. You said that last time. We're going to kill you.”

[第2～5段译文],“看起来它快要沉了，”过了一会儿，吉姆说。,“我们去看看怎么回事儿，”我说。,“我可不想上一艘要沉的船，”吉姆说。但当我提出我们可能在船上找到一些有用的东西时，他就同意去了。于是我们把木筏划了过去，蹑手蹑脚地、像耗子一样悄无声息地爬上了汽船。使我们大为吃惊的是，有间船舱里还亮着一盏灯。接着我们听到一个人的喊叫声：“哦，哥们儿，别杀我！我跟谁也不会说的！”,一个男人用生气的声音回应道：“你在撒谎。上次你也是这么说的。我们要杀了你。”
When he heard these words, Jim panicked? and ran to the raft. But although I was frightened, I also felt very curious， so I put my head round the door. It was quite dark, but I could see a man lying on the floor, tied up with rope. There were two men standing over him. One was short, with a beard. The other was tall and had something in his hand that looked like a gun.
“I've had enough of you. I'm going to shoot you now，” this man said. He was obviously the one who had threatened the man on the floor. And it was a gun he had in his hand.
“No, don't do that，” said the short man. “Let's leave him here. The steamboat will sink in a couple of hours and he'll go down with it.”

have had enough of ...对……已厌烦透了，受够了……
who ...the floor为定语从句，修饰the one。
threaten vt.威胁；恐吓
he had in his hand为定语从句，其前省略了关系词that/which，关系词作从句中had的宾语。
go down下沉
[第6～8段译文],吉姆听到这些话后，恐惧万分，向木筏跑了过去。而我尽管害怕，但也感到十分好奇，于是就把头凑向了那扇门。四周都很黑，但我能看见一个人被绳子捆着躺在地板上。有两个人围着他站着。其中一个是矮个儿，留着络腮胡子。另外一个是高个儿，手里拿着什么东西，看起来像是一把枪。,“我受够你了。我现在就要毙了你。”这个男子说。显然他就是之前威胁躺在地上的人的那个人。并且握在他手中的确实是一把枪。,“不，别这么做。”那个矮个儿说，“我们把他扔在这儿吧。这只船再过几个小时就沉了，他也就跟船一起沉了。”
When he heard that, the frightened man on the floor started crying. “He sounds as if he's going to die of fright！” I thought. “I have to find a way to save him！”
I crawled along the deck, found Jim, and told him what I had heard. “We must find their boat and take it away, then they'll have to stay here，” I said.
Jim looked terrified. “I'm not staying here，” he said. But I persuaded him to help me, and we found the men's boat tied to the other side of the steamboat. We climbed quietly in and as we paddled away we heard the two men shouting. By then we were a safe distance away. But now I began to feel bad about what we had done. I didn't want all three men to die.
as if he's going to die of fright在连系动词sounds后面作表语从句。
die of死于(疾病、饥饿、情感等)
fright/fraIt/n.恐惧；害怕
find a way to do sth.设法做某事
crawl/kr??l/vi.爬行；匍匐前进
what I had heard为宾语从句，同时what在从句中作heard的宾语。
terrified/'ter?faId/adj.非常害怕的；极度恐慌的
persuade sb. to do sth.说服某人做某事
过去分词短语“tied to the other side of the steamboat”作后置定语，修饰boat，可换成定语从句“which/that was tied to ...”。
feel bad about对……感到后悔
[第9～11段译文],听到那句话后，那个在地上已被吓傻的人开始哭了起来。“听起来他好像就要吓死了！”我想。“我得设法去救他！”,我沿着甲板爬行，找到了吉姆，并告诉他我所听到的一切。我说：“我们必须找到他们的船并弄走它，然后他们就不得不待在这儿了。”,吉姆看上去很害怕，他说：“我不想待在这儿。”但我说服他帮我的忙，我们发现他们的小船拴在汽船的另一边。我们悄悄爬上了小船。当我们划着小船离开时，我们听到那两个人的吼叫声。而那时我们已经离他们有一段安全的距离了。但现在我开始后悔那么做了——我不想让那三个人都死掉。

THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire in England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.
Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.
Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self?educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher, but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal?like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特姐妹三人的一生及著作。
1．What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell?
A．Help him write stories.
B．Help him get trained in art.
C．Teach him how to draw well.
D．Teach him how to educate himself.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.”可知，勃朗特姐妹想资助Branwell学习美术。
2．We know from the text that________.
A．Jane Eyre was published in 1847
B．Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all
C．the Bronte sisters received a good education
D．Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writings
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句话可知，姐妹三个在1847年各出了一本书，而《简·爱》就是其中之一。因此正确答案为A项。
3．Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?
A．Shirley. B．Villette.
C．Agnes Grey. D．The Professor.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，夏洛蒂死于1855年。由第四段可知，她的著作《教师》是在1859年出版的。因此正确答案应为D项。
4．What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?
A．Their novels interested few publishers.
B．None of them had more than two books published.
C．None of them lived longer than 40 years old.
D．Emily was the least successful of the three.
解析：选C 推理判断题。夏洛蒂出生于1816年，死于1855年；艾米莉生于1818年，死于“a short while after the publication of the book”；安妮生于1820年，死于1849年。经计算可知，姐妹三个都没有活过40岁。

A 12?year?old girl from California became the winner of the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee after spelling 35 words correctly.
Ananya Viany spent 45 minutes and 21 rounds going back and forth with 14?year?old Rohan Rajeev, of Edmond, Okla. But Rohan finally misspelled the word “marram”， and Ananya went on to win after coolly spelling two more words correctly. The winning word of this year was “marocain”. Ananya will take home more than D|S40,000 in cash and prizes.
Formed in 1925, the Spelling Bee is the nation's largest and longest?running educational contest (竞赛). It aims not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help widen their knowledge of the English language. Participants cannot be older than fourteen, nor can they be past the eighth grade. To qualify for the Bee, a speller must win a regional (地区的) contest.
Ananya's win was the first single victory in three years at the Bee, with the contest previously ending in_a_tie since 2013. The bee added a test this year to break the situation. Ananya is the 13th Indian?American to win the bee in a row. She stood out as a newcomer last year. Her score on the written spelling and vocabulary test would have been high enough to make the top 50, but she missed a word “multivalent” on stage. As a sixth?grader, she could have come back for two more years, had she failed. Now, she'll return only to help present the trophy (奖杯) to next year's winner.
Among the other standout spellers this year was the youngest contestant ever, 6?year?old Edith Fuller, from Tulsa, Okla. But she was sent home in tears despite spelling all of her words correctly. The girl did not get a high enough score in a required written exam, forcing her to fail to qualify for the final round.
语篇解读：2017年6月1日，第90届全美拼写大赛落下帷幕，年仅12岁的印度裔女孩Ananya Vinay摘得冠军。
5．What can we learn about the Scripps National Spelling Bee?
A．It is America's largest contest.
B．It encourages foreigners to learn English.
C．The first Spelling Bee was held in 2013.
D．A fourteen?year?old child in ninth grade can't participate in it.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants cannot be older than fourteen, nor can they be past the eighth grade.”可知，参加者需同时满足14岁及其以下和八年级及其以下的要求，因此14岁在上九年级的孩子不能参加拼写大赛。
6．What does the underlined part “in a tie” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Being not attractive.
B．With two winners achieving the same scores.
C．Being criticized by the public.
D．With two players quitting the competition.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据画线词前一句“Ananya's win was the first single victory in three years at the Bee”和后一句“The bee added a test this year to break the situation.”可知，Ananya是三年来诞生的第一个单个冠军，即之前连续三届决赛都打成平局。
7．From the passage, we know that Ananya ________.
A．is the first Indian?American to win the Bee
B．is the smartest speller in the contest
C．failed to make the top 50 last year
D．will come back to the contest for next two years
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第四段“Her score on the written spelling and vocabulary test would have been high enough to make the top 50, but she missed ...”可知，她去年原本可以进50强，但因为拼错一个词而惜败，故选“failed to make the top 50 last year”。
8．Edith Fuller didn't enter the final round because ________.
A．she didn't perform well in the written exam
B．she is not Indian?American
C．her family didn't support her
D．she failed to spell all the words correctly
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“The girl did not get a high enough score in a required written exam, forcing her to fail to qualify for the final round.”可知，Edith Fuller由于在笔试上表现不佳而失去了参加决赛的资格。
C
I have been a huge fan of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movies since the first one. While I was disappointed with the second and third movies, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed On Stranger Tides. The fourth movie is more focused on the characters and many parts reminded me of the first movie in the series, The Curse of the Black Pearl.
On Stranger Tides begins in London, where Jack has lost the hope of finding the Fountain of Youth. However, when he learns that the Spanish and British are racing each other to the fountain, his sense of adventure is renewed. He sets sail and the exciting race to the fountain follows. Because the plot is based on a race, it stays focused and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I think this was a great change from the plots of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. In this movie the characters are heading for a clear goal and I could focus more on them than what was happening in the plot.
While I missed some of the old characters, like Will and Elizabeth, I was also glad that they weren't brought back for this movie because I think it would have made the plot too complicated (复杂的). The only character I wish I had seen more is Jack Sparrow's father, played by Keith Richards.I expected more of Sparrow's past to be shown in this movie because there had been hints (暗示) of his dark past in the other movies.
My favorite part is the ending because there is a direct tie to the first movie when someone ends up getting left helpless on an island. I love this part because it reminds me of why I fell in love with Pirates of the Caribbean in the first place.
语篇解读：本文是一篇关于电影《加勒比海盗》的第四部《惊涛怪浪》的评论。
9．From Paragraph 1 we know that the writer________.
A．enjoyed watching On Stranger Tides
B．loved every movie of Pirates of the Caribbean
C．thought On Stranger Tides was the best of the four movies
D．thought The Curse of the Black Pearl was very disappointing
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“I was surprised at how much I enjoyed On Stranger Tides”可知作者很喜欢看《惊涛怪浪》这部电影。
10．In On Stranger Tides, what does Jack mainly want to do?
A．To find his father.
B．To find Will and Elizabeth.
C．To find the Fountain of Youth.
D．To help the Spanish find a fountain.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段的“where Jack has lost the hope of finding the Fountain of Youth.However ... the exciting race to the fountain follows.”可推断杰克船长是想去寻找不老泉。
11．Dead Man's Chest and At World's End are________.
A．the first and third movies of Pirates of the Caribbean
B．the first and fourth movies of Pirates of the Caribbean
C．the second and third movies of Pirates of the Caribbean
D．the second and fourth movies of Pirates of the Caribbean
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据第一段的“the first movie in the series, The Curse of the Black Pearl”可知《黑珍珠号的诅咒》是这个系列的第一部，又根据“While I was disappointed with the second and third movies, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed On Stranger Tides”可知《惊涛怪浪》是第四部，那么剩下的两部就是第二部和第三部。
12．Why does the writer like the ending of On Stranger Tides best?
A．Because it is the most exciting part of the movie.
B．Because it brought him hope when he was once hopeless.
C．Because it reminded him of watching the first movie with his loved one.
D．Because it reminded him of why he started loving Pirates of the Caribbean.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“I love this part because it reminds me of why I fell in love with Pirates of the Caribbean in the first place.”可知应选D。

Most people use the weekends to kick back and relax. __1__ Because you're on duty, you have to focus on your work seven days a week. While you don't have to be at your desk every minute of every day, weekends make you free to structure your lifestyle so that you can get the most out of your busy schedule. Here are a few ways to make you more productive both at work and in life during the weekends.
Don't work 24/7. Though it's important to think about your business on the weekend, you shouldn't be plugged (填塞) in the way you are during the week. __2__ Instead, work on projects you enjoy or use the time to think about your business in a broader way.

[我的发现]
(1)①～⑧句中的黑体部分分别在句中作什么成分？
①⑥⑦作定语；②④⑤作宾补；③⑧作宾语。
(2)?句中的系动词为became，表语是名词；句中有两个系动词；⑩?句中的表语都是形容词；⑨句中的系动词为looks，表语是as_if引导的从句。
本模块重点复习不定式作宾语和宾语补足语的用法、动词?ing形式作宾语和宾语补足语的用法、动词?ed形式和动词?ing形式作定语和表语的用法以及连系动词的用法。
一、不定式作宾语和宾语补足语的用法

(1)常见的只能用不定式作宾语的动词有want, hope, wish, offer，fail, plan, learn, pretend, refuse, manage, help, agree, promise, prefer, warn, request等。
She pretended not to see me when I came in.
当我进来时，她假装没有看见我。
[名师点津] 如果作宾语的不定式还带有自己的补足语，通常用it作形式宾语，而将真正的宾语(不定式)置于宾语补足语之后。常见的词有find, feel, make, consider等。
I found it interesting to study English.
我发现学英语很有趣。
(2)不定式作介词but和except(除了)的宾语。如果but或except前有实义动词do的某种形式时，不定式要省略to，反之不省。另外，“疑问词＋不定式”常作介词的宾语。

我的英语老师彼得总是鼓励我们要努力学习。
(2)下列动词(短语)后的宾语补足语的不定式常省略“to”，请牢记下面的口诀：
吾(五)看三室(使)一厅(听)
see, look at, notice, watch, observe; let, have, make; hear
I often hear him sing that song.
我经常听到他唱那首歌。
I saw him play in the park.
我看见他在公园里玩。
[名师点津] 这种句子变成被动语态时，省掉的动词不定式符号“to”需要还原。
He is often heard to sing that song.
人们经常听到他唱那首歌。

—No, I don't regret quarrelling with him.
——你应该向你的兄弟道歉。
——不，我不后悔与他吵架。
I regret to tell you that you have been dismissed.
我很遗憾地告诉你你被开除了。
(2)require, want, need表示“需要”时，后接动词?ing形式的主动形式和不定式的被动式作宾语时，所表达的意义一样。

The Life of Mark Twain
Often the lives of writers resemble① the lives of the characters they② create③. Mark Twain, who wrote The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer④， was no exception⑤. To start with⑥， the author's name, Mark Twain, is itself an invention, or “pen name”. Twain's real name was Samuel Clemens. “Mark Twain”， which means “watermark two”⑦， was a call used by sailors on the Mississippi to warn shipmates that they were coming into shallow⑧ water.

马克·吐温的一生
[第1段译文]
作家们的人生经历往往和他们创造的人物很相似。写了《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》和《汤姆·索亚历险记》的马克·吐温也不例外。首先，作者的名字——马克·吐温，本身就是创造的，或者说是“笔名”。吐温的真名是塞缪尔·克莱门斯。“马克·吐温”意思是“水深二英尺”，这是密西西比河上的水手们用来警告正在进入浅水区(安全通行)的同船水手们的口号。
Like Huck, Mark Twain led an adventurous life⑨. He left school early, and as an adolescent⑩， determined? to make his fortune? in South America, set off? from his home in Hannibal, Missouri, for New Orleans. He wanted to take a boat to
the Amazon, where he thought he could get rich quickly?. He arrived in New Orleans without a penny? in his pocket? only to find? that there were no boats for South America. Forced? to change his plans, he worked for several years as a pilot on a steamboat, taking passengers up and down? the Mississippi?， the great river which flows from the north of the US near the Canadian border， down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Later he became a journalist and began writing stories about life on the river. Twain's vivid and often amusing descriptions of life on the river quickly became popular, and established the reputation he still enjoys today as one of America's greatest writers.

[第2～3段译文]
像哈克一样，马克·吐温也曾有过冒险的生涯。他很早就辍学了，当时还是一名青少年，就决心到南美洲去发财，他从家乡密苏里州的汉尼拔动身去了新奥尔良。他想乘船去亚马逊，他认为在那里他很快就会富起来。他身无分文地来到新奥尔良时，却发现那里没有开往南美洲的船了。迫不得已他只好改变了计划，在一艘汽船上当了好几年领航员，带着乘客往返于密西西比河，这条大河从加拿大边境附近的美国北部流向墨西哥湾。,后来他成了一名记者并开始写有关河上生活的故事。吐温对河上生活形象而又时常逗人发笑的描述很快就受到了欢迎，这确立了今天他仍然享有的美国最伟大的作家之一的名誉。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War Ⅱ， she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college. But when she returned to London after the war she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America in 1950s that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name and received great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her roles, the most popular one was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one child with each husband. In 1989, the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.
Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.
语篇解读：本文是一篇人物传记。主要介绍了奥黛丽·赫本的生平及她在电影事业方面的成就和在慈善事业方面的贡献。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Life doesn't always turn out the way we'd like. When situations take an unfriendly turn, we become upset, frustrated, and angry. When others don't agree with us, live their lives the way we think they should not, or act in a manner we find disturbing, anger is a typical reaction. It seems that we feel anger gives us the momentary feeling of power in a situation where we feel we have lost authority (权威). However, in fact, with the exception of a few cases, an angry reaction rarely improves the situation. It only makes the situation worse. Thoughtful consideration of what feelings and replies are most advantageous actually restores our real power. So consider the following alternatives (替代) to anger.
One is compassion, which consists of both understanding and empathy. If we view an individual whose behavior we find unacceptable, we should think each person has a right to live life according to their beliefs, dreams, needs and so on. Even if someone is acting improperly, you should understand them rather than get bent_out_of_shape. If they are struggling, lost, or in pain, you should choose to feel empathy for their suffering, hoping that they soon pass through their current challenge to a more joyful place. If you do so, your anger will disappear.
Humor is another powerful tool for stopping anger because it can help you stay calm when things get bad. Sometimes we take life far too seriously. That is bad for us and anger is easy to happen. We need to use humor to turn any serious situation into a light one. Humor acts as a protective barrier to emotional pain.
Therefore, when others behave badly, find it in your heart to forgive them for their unwise behavior rather than complain them. When life hands you the exact opposite of what you requested, take no notice of it instead of getting angry. After all, the bad situation is only temporary. So choose these alternative reactions to soften our heart and prevent anger from happening so that we can enjoy our life to the fullest.
语篇解读：在大多数情况下，生气不能解决问题，只会使情况更糟。那么我们该如何摒弃这种不好的情绪呢？
1．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A．Anger can make people powerful.
B．People are all easy to get annoyed.
C．Anger always makes situations worse.
D．Anger can do some good in a few cases.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“with the exception of a few cases, an angry reaction rarely improves the situation”可推出，愤怒在某些情况下也可以带来好处。
2．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Bored. B．Angry.
C．Excited. D．Worried.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知画线部分意为“生气的”。
3．What should we do if life lets us down according to the last paragraph?
A．We should complain about it.
B．We should ignore it.
C．We should show mercy to it.
D．We should get mad.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“When life hands you the exact opposite of what you requested, take no notice of it instead of getting angry.”可知，当生活不如我们的意时，我们可以不理会它。
4．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Ways to get rid of anger
B．The bad effects of anger
C．Why people often get angry
D．Benefits of being active in life
解析：选A 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何摆脱愤怒。

Module 3 Adventure in literature and the cinema
单元小结
Mark Twain, one of America's greatest writers, established his reputation for his great works. His novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, set in the USA in the 19th century, is in fact his auto?biography rather than a fiction he created. That is, his own life resembled the lives of the characters he made up. As an adolescent, Mark Twain was determined to make his fortune. He set off from his hometown for South America. Unfortunately, he was forced to stay on a steamboat to work as a pilot for several years. Twain's vivid and amusing accounts of life on the river still make people feel in the mood to read the novel now. The novel has won countless good reviews in the world. Here is a part of this novel.
The main character, Huck, and his companion, Jim, ran away. They sailed down the Mississippi River on a raft. Because the rain poured down, they were staying inside the shelter when Huck saw a steamboat in the middle of the river. He also heard a man's angry answer “You're lying”. Jim felt very frightened and panicked, while Huck felt a little curious and crawled to the steamboat. He saw a man with beard beating another man, tied up with rope. Huck decided to save the injured. He played a trick on and disturbed that man with beard. The two boys and the injured man paddled away to a safe place.
马克·吐温，美国最伟大的作者之一，通过他伟大的作品树立了自己的名声。他的小说《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》，以19世纪的美国为背景，实际上是他的自传，而不是他创造的虚构小说。也就是说，他的生活与他所虚构的人物的生活相似。作为一名青少年，马克·吐温下定决心要赚大钱。他从家乡出发去南美洲。不幸的是，他被迫待在一艘汽艇上当了好几年的领航员。吐温对河上生活生动有趣的描述现在仍然使人们想要去阅读这部小说。这部小说在世界上好评如潮。下面是其中的一个片断。
小说的主人公哈克和他的同伴吉姆逃跑了。他们在一艘木筏上沿着密西西比河顺流而下。因为大雨滂沱，他们待在一个遮蔽物下，正在这时哈克看到河中间有一艘汽艇。他还听到一个男人愤怒的回答“你在撒谎”。吉姆感到既惊慌又害怕，而哈克感到有点好奇。他爬到汽艇上，看到一个有胡须的男子正在打一个被绳子捆着的人。哈克决定救这个受伤的人。他捉弄并且干扰了那个有胡须的人。这两个男孩和那个受伤的人将船划到了一个安全的地方。

We need to use humor to turn any serious situation into a light one. Humor acts as a protective barrier to emotional pain.
Therefore, when others behave badly, find it in your heart to forgive them for their unwise behavior rather than complain them. When life hands you the exact opposite of what you requested, take no notice of it instead of getting angry. After all, the bad situation is only temporary. So choose these alternative reactions to soften our heart and prevent anger from happening so that we can enjoy our life to the fullest.
语篇解读：在大多数情况下，生气不能解决问题，只会使情况更糟。那么我们该如何摒弃这种不好的情绪呢？
1．What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A．Anger can make people powerful.
B．People are all easy to get annoyed.
C．Anger always makes situations worse.
D．Anger can do some good in a few cases.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“with the exception of a few cases, an angry reaction rarely improves the situation”可推出，愤怒在某些情况下也可以带来好处。
2．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Bored. B．Angry.
C．Excited. D．Worried.
解析：选B 词义猜测题。根据上下文语境可知画线部分意为“生气的”。
3．What should we do if life lets us down according to the last paragraph?
A．We should complain about it.
B．We should ignore it.
C．We should show mercy to it.
D．We should get mad.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“When life hands you the exact opposite of what you requested, take no notice of it instead of getting angry.”可知，当生活不如我们的意时，我们可以不理会它。
4．What is the best title for this passage?
A．Ways to get rid of anger
B．The bad effects of anger
C．Why people often get angry
D．Benefits of being active in life
解析：选A 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了如何摆脱愤怒。

Audrey Hepburn won an Academy Award as Best Actress for her first major American movie, Roman Holiday, which was released in 1953. But she is remembered as much for her aid work as for her acting.
Born in Belgium in 1929, Audrey's father was British and her mother was Dutch. Audrey was sent to live at a British school for part of her childhood. During World War Ⅱ， she lived and studied in the Netherlands. Her mother thought it would be safe from German attacks. Audrey studied dance as a teenager and during college. But when she returned to London after the war she realized she wasn't going to be a ballerina (芭蕾舞女演员). So she began taking acting parts in stage shows. Later she began to get small parts in movies.
But it was Audrey Hepburn's move to America in 1950s that brought her true fame. In 1951 she played the character “Gigi” in the Broadway play of the same name and received great critical praise. Two years later, Roman Holiday made her a star at the age of 24.
Audrey made more than 25 movies. Among her roles, the most popular one was Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's in 1961. Three years later she played Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady.
She was married two times and had one child with each husband. In 1989, the UN Children's Fund named Audrey a goodwill ambassador. She travelled all over the world in support of UNICEF (联合国儿童基金会) projects. The UN agency said she was a tireless worker. She often gave 15 interviews a day to gain money and support for UNICEF projects.
Audrey Hepburn often said her loyalty to UNICEF was the result of her experiences as a child during World War Ⅱ. She said she knew what it was like to be starving and to be saved by international aid. She was a goodwill ambassador until her death in 1993 from colon cancer.

课时跟踪练（七）Introduction & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire in England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters'.
Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.
Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self?educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher, but there was no interest shown in Charlotte's book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal?like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis (肺结核) as her sisters had.
语篇解读：本文主要讲述了英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特姐妹三人的一生及著作。
1．What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell?
A．Help him write stories.
B．Help him get trained in art.
C．Teach him how to draw well.
D．Teach him how to educate himself.
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第三段倒数第二句“The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.”可知，勃朗特姐妹想资助Branwell学习美术。
2．We know from the text that________.
A．Jane Eyre was published in 1847
B．Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all
C．the Bronte sisters received a good education
D．Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writings
解析：选A 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句话可知，姐妹三个在1847年各出了一本书，而《简·爱》就是其中之一。因此正确答案为A项。
3．Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?
A．Shirley. B．Villette.
C．Agnes Grey. D．The Professor.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，夏洛蒂死于1855年。由第四段可知，她的著作《教师》是在1859年出版的。因此正确答案应为D项。
4．What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?
A．Their novels interested few publishers.
B．None of them had more than two books published.
C．None of them lived longer than 40 years old.
D．Emily was the least successful of the three.
解析：选C 推理判断题。夏洛蒂出生于1816年，死于1855年；艾米莉生于1818年，死于“a short while after the publication of the book”；安妮生于1820年，死于1849年。经计算可知，姐妹三个都没有活过40岁。

A 12?year?old girl from California became the winner of the 90th Scripps National Spelling Bee after spelling 35 words correctly.
Ananya Viany spent 45 minutes and 21 rounds going back and forth with 14?year?old Rohan Rajeev, of Edmond, Okla. But Rohan finally misspelled the word “marram”， and Ananya went on to win after coolly spelling two more words correctly. The winning word of this year was “marocain”. Ananya will take home more than D|S40,000 in cash and prizes.
Formed in 1925, the Spelling Bee is the nation's largest and longest?running educational contest (竞赛). It aims not only to encourage children to perfect the art of spelling, but also to help widen their knowledge of the English language. Participants cannot be older than fourteen, nor can they be past the eighth grade. To qualify for the Bee, a speller must win a regional (地区的) contest.
Ananya's win was the first single victory in three years at the Bee, with the contest previously ending in_a_tie since 2013. The bee added a test this year to break the situation. Ananya is the 13th Indian?American to win the bee in a row. She stood out as a newcomer last year. Her score on the written spelling and vocabulary test would have been high enough to make the top 50, but she missed a word “multivalent” on stage. As a sixth?grader, she could have come back for two more years, had she failed. Now, she'll return only to help present the trophy (奖杯) to next year's winner.
Among the other standout spellers this year was the youngest contestant ever, 6?year?old Edith Fuller, from Tulsa, Okla. But she was sent home in tears despite spelling all of her words correctly. The girl did not get a high enough score in a required written exam, forcing her to fail to qualify for the final round.

A．It is America's largest contest.
B．It encourages foreigners to learn English.
C．The first Spelling Bee was held in 2013.
D．A fourteen?year?old child in ninth grade can't participate in it.
解析：选D 细节理解题。根据第三段“Participants cannot be older than fourteen, nor can they be past the eighth grade.”可知，参加者需同时满足14岁及其以下和八年级及其以下的要求，因此14岁在上九年级的孩子不能参加拼写大赛。

A．Being not attractive.
B．With two winners achieving the same scores.
C．Being criticized by the public.

A．she didn't perform well in the written exam
B．she is not Indian?American
C．her family didn't support her

I have been a huge fan of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movies since the first one. While I was disappointed with the second and third movies, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed On Stranger Tides. The fourth movie is more focused on the characters and many parts reminded me of the first movie in the series, The Curse of the Black Pearl.
On Stranger Tides begins in London, where Jack has lost the hope of finding the Fountain of Youth. However, when he learns that the Spanish and British are racing each other to the fountain, his sense of adventure is renewed. He sets sail and the exciting race to the fountain follows. Because the plot is based on a race, it stays focused and kept me wondering what was going to happen next. I think this was a great change from the plots of Dead Man's Chest and At World's End. In this movie the characters are heading for a clear goal and I could focus more on them than what was happening in the plot.
While I missed some of the old characters, like Will and Elizabeth, I was also glad that they weren't brought back for this movie because I think it would have made the plot too complicated (复杂的). The only character I wish I had seen more is Jack Sparrow's father, played by Keith Richards.I expected more of Sparrow's past to be shown in this movie because there had been hints (暗示) of his dark past in the other movies.
My favorite part is the ending because there is a direct tie to the first movie when someone ends up getting left helpless on an island. I love this part because it reminds me of why I fell in love with Pirates of the Caribbean in the first place.

12．Why does the writer like the ending of On Stranger Tides best?
