[2016·山西师大附中一模]China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a https://www.360docs.net/doc/2514139511.html,lions of them, all black. Cars were rare.Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I've found the opposite W1 is true.There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it's the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors—silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It's fun people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom W2 to move about that cars just can't provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly W3. To be safe, I stayed with a“pack”of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly W4 out of nowhere at times P1. I didn't want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem.S It was a lot like crossing a major W5 highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by P2 places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

中国被称为自行车的王国,尽管汽车越来越多,但仍有大部分人选择自行车这种低碳环保的交通方式。

[2016·河南名校联考]Deep in the western Amazon rainforest, live butterflies that drink turtle tears.S That sounds like a line straight W1 out of a fantasy novel, but it's one hundred percent real life! It's an unusual sight—a crowd of butterflies flying around the eyes of yellow -spotted river turtles, trying to get a little tears. The poor turtles try to avoid them, but the butterflies insist drinking their tears until they've had their fill.

The butterflies are likely attracted W2 to the turtles' tears because the liquid drops contain salt, specifically sodium (钠), an important mineral that is rare in the western Amazon rainforest, said Phil Torres, a scientist who does much of his research at the Tambopata Research Center in Peru and is associated with Rice University. Turtles get plenty of sodium through their largely carnivorous (食肉的) diet. Meat contains significant W3 levels of the salt, Torres told LiveScience. But herbivores (食草的) butterflies sometimes struggle to get this extra mineral source W4, he added.

I need to be in my office by nine o’clock so I usually get up at seven o’clock. I travel to work on “the tube”. That’s what people call the underground in London. It takes about fifty minutes. Usually, it’s s o crowded that I can’t find anywhere to sit. I just stand. I’m always tired before I arrive at work. I don’t like the underground! I spend all morning checking numbers. Lunch is always simple. I often get a sandwich in a nearby sandwich shop or I just have some biscuits and a cup of coffee. Then in the afternoon, I return to the paperwork in the office. On Monday nights, I have dance classes, and on Wednesday nights, I go to the gym. I need to do that because I don’t get enough exercise otherwise. On Tuesday and Thursday nights, I have French classes. I work for a French company so I think studying French will help me in my job.

But he became inspired when he tho ught about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly dise ase of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousand s of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted t o face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never b e controlled until its cause was found. He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera ki lled people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person die d. John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed eviden ce. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enqu iry. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gat her information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had liv ed. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the d eaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 a nd 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame. Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. H e immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle f rom the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed d own. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deat hs that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away f rom Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it deliver ed to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drin king the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with ce rtainty that polluted water carried the virus.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national

人教版高中英语必修五知识点详解

人教版高中英语必修五知识点详解 Units 1-2 1. doubt doubt是高考中的高频考查词汇。doubt可作动词和名词,是新课标重点词汇。其命题角度为:①作动词时, 若为肯定句,后跟宾语从句,通常用if/whether引导,若为否定句,则通常用that引导。 ②doubt作名词时,通常用于There is no doubt that ...(毫无疑问)结构。2010年高考对doubt的考查还将集中 在其后跟从句时连接词的选择上,也有可能将doubt与其他动词或名词放在一起进行词义辨析。 2. expose expose是新课标要求掌握的单词,应重点掌握它的义项及常见用法,特别是be exposed to 句式,其中to为介词,后跟名词、代词和动名词;同时注意exposed to作后置定语和用于句首作状语的用法。另外,being exposed to结构用动名词形式作主语也是重点和难点,极易考查。 预测2010年命题方向为exposed to 作状语和定语的用法。 3. absorb absorb是新课标重点单词,重点掌握其“吸收(液体,热);吸收,理解(知识)”的词义及其be absorbed in(全神贯注于……)的用法,易考点为该短语位于句首作状语和作后置定语两点,考生应能掌握be absorbed by(为某事物所吸引);还应联系be engaged in, be devoted to, be involved in和be lost in等常见重点近义短语。 4. apart from apart from是常见介词短语,意为“除……之外”,考生应熟练掌握近义的词和短语:except, besides, in addition (to), other than, except for, except that, except when等。预测2010年高考会在单项填空题中直接考查或者会出现 在阅读理解题中。 5. available available是新课标重点单词,在近几年高考和各地的模拟考试中出现的频率极高,主要考点为:①词义(可得到的,可用的)。命题形式常为形容词词义辨析,如区分accessible, acceptable, sensible, favourite, average, convenient 等。②用法。be available to意为“可利用的”,be available for意为“使……可以享受某物;使……买得起某物”, 要了解二者的区别。 预测2010年高考命题会以考查词义或者形容词短语作后置定语为命题方向。 6. consist of consist of是近几年高考高频考查短语。①理解其词义“组成,构成”。②考查与其他近义词组的用法异同点。 如be made up of, be composed of, constitute, be formed of 等。考生要特别注意consist of要用主动形式表达, 不用系表结构。预测这一考点将成为2010年高考考查的重点,特别是用consisting of 作后置定语。 7. break down 由break构成的动词短语是历年高考命题的重点。考生必须明确break down的几个常见义项,根据不同的语 境加以判断。break down,break up, break off, break away, break in等,都要求考生熟知它们的常见义项,因为 命题时可能会对该短语直接考查,也可在短文中考查对其意义的理解。 8. only+状语(状语从句)位于句首构成部分倒装 这是考生必须熟练掌握的句式之一,以往的高考题中已多次考查到。倒装句式有多种情况,该句式为日常交 际中较常见的一种。特别提示:only只有强调状语或者状语从句才构成部分倒装,强调主语或宾语不用倒装。 预测该句式是2010年高考命题考查的重点。 重要词汇拓展 Unit 1 Great scientists 1. ____ n. 特征;特性 2. _____ vt.&vi. 结束;推断出→______ n. 结论 3. _____ vt. 打败;战胜;使受挫 4. ______ vt. 参加;出席;照顾;护理→_____ n. 参加;出席;侍从;看护 5. _____ vt. 暴露;揭露;使曝光→_____ n. 暴露;揭穿;揭发 6. _____ vt.& n. 治愈;痊愈→______adj.可治愈的 ______ vt.& n. 控制;支配 8. _____ vt. 吸收;吸引;使专心→______adj. 被吸收的;全神贯注的 9. _____ adj. 严重的;严厉的;剧烈的 characteristic 2. conclude;conclusion 3. defeat 4. attend;attendance 5. expose;exposure 6. cure;curable 7. control 8. absorb;absorbed 9. severe 10. _____ vt. 宣布;通告→______n. 宣布;宣告;通知 11. ______ vt. 命令;指示;教导→_____ adj.有教育意义的;有指导意义的→_____n.指导;指示;指令→_____ n. 教师;讲师;指导员 12. _____ vt.&vi. 捐献;贡献;捐助→______n.贡献;奉献 13. _____ adj. 有创造力的;创造性的;独创的→______n.创造;创作 14. _____ adj. 热情的;热心的→______ n. 热心;热情

必修四Unit10 Lesson 1 安格斯*伊德莱采访前百万富翁查尔斯雷时。查尔斯说:“谁想当百万富翁呢?我不想。” 很多人一心想成为百万富翁。他们花一半的时间追求致富的方法。另一半的时间则在琢磨一旦富裕起来要做些什么。但是,是否所有的百万富翁真正得到了他们要实现的目标前所想的幸福呢?其实,有些人成为百万富翁后还有其他的烦恼———他们拼命的到的财富,怎样拼命以确保不再失去这些财富。 但是也有人把自己的百万资产置于一边,选择不同的人生的路,查尔斯就是这样的一个人。 16 年前,查尔斯是大学教授,住着一有六个卧室的房子,有着百万的资产,而现在住的则是小宿舍的房间,家具都是二手的,没有任何的迹象表明查尔斯是个富人。小花园边种着几个果树,查尔斯自己种植蔬菜和花,衣服和家具的用品都是从慈善点买的。 但是查尔斯喜欢折中改变。查尔斯对这样的富人的生活方式感到高兴。他不在想做在许多人一无所有的情况下自己拥有一切的那种人,他选择了了把自己的钱财送给别人,他说这样会给他带来快乐。查尔斯说:几年前,我曾经是个百万富翁,但是我意识到世界上还有许多的忍受疾饿的穷人。因此他把所有的钱财捐给了慈善机构,当只剩下两千美元的时候,他将小额的纸散发给当地的贫困街区的穷人,难道他真的举得自己像圣诞老人吗?查尔斯说这么做具有乐趣。 查尔斯相信很多人盼望着挣一大笔钱解除烦恼,然而,大多数的人根本没有挣多那么多的钱,查尔斯*格雷决定退出富人网,他发现拥有少量的钱会给人自由,难道真的没有什么让他依旧怀念的吗?查尔斯答道:“没有,我现在更快乐了。什么也不可能再回到富人的行列——决不可能。” Unit10 Lesson 3 五元钱能做什么?或许你觉得做不了什么,你如果对买包糖果或甜点不感兴趣的话,买课树怎样?确切的说,一棵树在黄河岸迹的树。 每年,大约有16 亿吨泥土流入黄河——这条中国国第二大河流,这些泥土中含有保持该大自然平衡的物质,经年累月,大量的泥土被冲走,导致黄河两岸严重的水土流失,在山西省有些地区,水土流失几乎毁掉了所有的土地,还迫使当地的农民迁移到其他地区去。 控制黄河水土流失是一项巨大的工程,很多人认为这项工作最好靠政府或是国际组织承担,你或许会赞同这样的观点,若真这样想的话,现在到了你重新考虑的时候了。 事实上,你才是阻止黄河水土流失最重要的人物,你知道你的五元钱的重要性吗?首先,你可以用五元钱买一棵树,而这棵树可以使泥土不流失,在肥沃的土地上,当地农民可以种庄稼谋生,农民会用他们种的庄稼赚到钱购买所需物品或服务,这有助于发展地区经济。 还是你不理解你的五元钱有如此大的作用吧?那么,看看下面的事实吧:1997 年期,一项植树计划已使内蒙古就成沙流变成了绿色家园,世界各地的人前来这里观赏这一伟大的成就,另外,这项规划的成功大大的改变了当地人民的生活,试想一下,这一切就是始于五元钱。所以,下次当你的口袋里有五元钱时,仔细想想该怎么花,请记住,你可以用它买树,为了我们的祖国人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来。所以,下次当你口袋里再有五元钱时,仔细想想该怎么花。请记住,你可以用它买树,为了我们的祖国,为人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来。
