Ⅳ.阅读理解

A

Mothers who live in areas that are moderately polluted by car gases give birth to babies with lower than average birth weight，a new Australian study has revealed.In particular，scientists from Australia found that women who lived in Perth suburbs with moderate traffic emissions had babies weighing around 60 grams less on average than the expected average weight of 3.5 kilograms.

The conclusion was based on the analysis of the records of 1,800 pregnant women and their babies in three metropolitan areas.An association was found in only one of these areas，Perth suburbs，an area with low industrial activity，with a mix of polluted and quiet roads.Researchers said that they took the baby's weight at birth and then worked out their expected size under optimal conditions.At the same time，a computer model was calculating the concentration of traffic emissions around the homes of mothers up to the time they gave birth.

Dr.Gavin Pereira，assistant professor，who specializes in the effects of air pollution on child's health，found in his previous research that Perth's traffic pollution was increasingly the risk for about seventy per cent of young kids who suffer from serious asthma(哮喘)attacks.He said the findings from that latest study were very surprising for him because the pregnant women who took part in the study did not live in heavily polluted neighborhoods.“I did not really expect to see any effect，so it was pretty surprising，although some international studies have found some associations，”said he.

Researchers said that their results should not create any panic but rather be a warning signal for the future.The population grows each year so just that alone will increase the level of traffic emissions.Besides，the number of vehicle kilometers travelled is expected to go up so there are plenty of reasons why the problem of air pollution is going to get worse.

In a conclusion，the experts said that while there is no reason for pregnant women to be scared，there is a recommendation for planners and developers not to build their homes in a short distance from busy roads.In general，people should try to put maximum effort to take public transportation and utilize cleaner engine technologies in order to reduce the vehicle emissions.

答案 D

4．Why did Dr.Gavin Pereira feel UNEXPECTED at his current research results?

A．Because the pregnant participants were not from the areas polluted seriously.

B．Because about seventy percent of young kids suffered from serious asthma attacks.

C．Because Perth's traffic pollution was increasing quickly.

D．Because the pregnant participants all lived in the heavily polluted areas.

解析该题考查细节的推断。Pereira(佩雷拉)对目前实验结果感到意外，原因是他的实验对象不是来自污染很严重的地区。关键信息词在第三段第二句：findings from that latest study were very surprising for him because the pregnant women who took part in the study did not live in heavily polluted neighborhoods。

答案 A

B

Spain is always related with bold and unrestrained character.Barcelona，a beautiful city of Spain，is the most famous city in Spain.

Compared with Madrid，the capital of Spain，Barcelona has a much longer history，In the 8th century，Moors conquered Spain.Barcelona acted as the focal point for the exchange of scholar and scientific knowledge between the European and Muslim world.Before the 16th century，it was the center of Spain.In 1493，the monarch(王室)received Columbus in the Royal Palace in Barcelona.In the 16th century，Spain stepped into its golden age.The Monarch made Madrid，which is in the center of Spain，the capital of Spain.

Because both the east and west cultures have deep influence to Barcelona，today we can see many Christian buildings as well as Islamic(伊斯兰教的)buildings there.Gothic Quarter(哥特区)is the old town district.Many old houses and monuments are found there.

There are many beautiful parks in Barcelona.Giudadella Park is the most famous one.It's designed so well that UN-ECO declared it as a world heritage site(遗址)．

B．building palaces

C．bulding parks

D．building world heritage sites

答案 A

6．It can be inferred that Barcelona________.

A．has few interesting festivals

B．has a long history with splendid culture

C．had many Royal Palaces built in some places of interest

人教版新课标高中英语选修7课文原文

人教版新课标高中英语选修7课文原文 Unit 1 Living well-Reading MARTY’S STORY Hi, my name is Marry Fielding and I guess you could say that I am "one in a million". In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can't run or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don't know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live One day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don't look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes, too, I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who cannot see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer software when I grow up. Last year invented a computer football game and a big company has decided to buy it from me. I have a very busy life with no time to sit around feeling sorry for myself. As well as going to the movies and football matches with my friends, I spend a lot of time with my pets. I have two rabbits, a parrot, a tank full of fish and a tortoise. To look after my pets properly takes a lot of time but I find it worthwhile. I also have to do a lot of work, especially if I have been away for a while. In many ways my disability has helped me grow stronger psychologically and become more independent. I have to work hard to live a normal life but it has been worth it. If I had a chance to say one thing to healthy children, it would be this: having a disability does not mean your life is not satisfying. So don't feel sorry for the disabled or make fun of them, and don't ignore them either. Just accept them for who they are, and give them encouragement to live as

高中英语选修课程的建设

参评学科：高中英语 高中英语选修课程的建设 摘要 选修课程是高中英语课程建设中的一项重要方式。当前，我国很多高中没有构建相应的平台去开发，实施和管理选修课程，由于英语教师没有开设选修课程的能力，很多学生根本没有真正选择课程的机会。如今英语选修课程都有必修化、应试化、活动化和重负化的特征。为了互补必修课程和选修课程的优势，老师们应该积极地探索选修课程开发本土化、内容优质化和教学多元化，从而充分发挥选修课的潜在功能。 关键词：高中英语；选修课程；建设

一、高中英语选修课程建设中存在的弊端 （一）选修课程的必修趋势 在现代的英语教育中，必修课程和选修课程要相互结合。而普通高中的选修课程大致分为“选修I”（重要选修课程）和“选修II”（随意选修课程）两种。重要选修课程是当地政府为发展学生除书本之外的知识而设立的，而随意选修课程是学校设立的[1]。开设选修课程的最初目标是使潜力和兴趣各不相同的学生都能够实现自身能力的发展。然而，很多学校的选修课程，特别是随意选修课程都必修课占据了时间。就重要选修课来说，各种各样的教材供应商为学校提供了现成的教材，学校和教师可以省心省力地让学生学习这些选秀课程。因为社会依然把“升学率”当成评价高中教学质量的主要依据，所以学校在选取教材的时候，依然会让学生选修与必修课类似的课程。就随意选修来说，很多学校由于教学管理、师资力量、教室资源等因素不能为学生提供大量的选修课程，这在客观上导致“大部分的学校和教师仅仅只将精力放在必修课和高考中一定会涉及的重要选修课程上”[2]。 （二）选修课程的应试趋势 面对高考升学率的压力，很多高中仍然拼命地实施“填鸭式”教学和“题海”战术，所以英语选修课程仅仅是单纯地列在课程表上以应付教育局的检查。学校领导对选修课程不够重视，教师经常占据选修课的时间，大部分的学生对选修课也是心不在焉，极度缺乏主动性和积极性，因此在学生和老师眼中，选修课被通常是可有可无。有些老师竟然将重要选修课当成应试教育的复习课或补习课；绝大多数的老师在随意选修课程上强化学生当天所学的知识或者是组织他们做练习题。[3]；更有甚者开设了“高考改错专题”、“作文例析”等选修课，让人啼笑皆非。很多学校从高一的时候就通过“月考”和“周练”等办法来提高学生的外语竞争力；有些学校在高二的时候增加听说读写等语言知识与技能类的选修课程，其实只是还是为了提高学生的考试能力，学生的实践能力，例如对英美文化的了解和口语能力并没有得到提高。这种设计选修课的方式仅仅只是停留在应试教育的模式中，既脱离了语言学习与社会接轨的原则，也没有激发学生的兴趣，是高中英语选修课程建设中的一大败笔[4]。（三）选修课程随意化 选修课程是一种特殊的教学模式，但又不同于必修的课堂教学。然而，很多学校没有区分选修课程与传统教学活动。例如，有的学校将选修课程定义为在全校范围内定期或不定期举办“English corner（英语角）”、drama play（话剧）、speech competition(演讲）、英语歌曲比赛（The Singing Contest）；有的学校甚至认为在各大年级开展英语诗朗诵、阅读竞赛、英语书写、英语板报就是开设选修课；更有学校在选修课上将学生的“错题集”进行展示。这

人教版高中英语选修9课文译文

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中，他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录，至今，他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者，还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的，而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点，在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近，阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录，其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈，在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏，在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬，但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上，你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西，但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时，看起来虽然很轻松容易，其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注，还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候，你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢？翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前，以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势，然后右脚向前迈一步，同时左膝触地，然后再站起来，左脚向前迈出一步，同时右膝触地。想想吧，这个动作要反复做1英里远！ 然而，这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候，他很不健康(unfit)，而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢？这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教，16岁时，他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师，住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初，阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出，人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性，并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时，他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过，他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候，他开始有了这样的认识：他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具，而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起，阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候，阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候，他就会进入自己的内心深处，与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中，阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上，他常穿着一件T恤衫，后背上有斯里琴摩的名言： “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……

马蒂的故事 你好。我叫马蒂．菲尔丁。我想你可能会说我是“百万人中才有一个”的那种人。换句话说，世界上像我这样的人并不多见。你瞧，我的肌肉有毛病，使我的身体非常虚弱，所以我不能像别人那样快跑或快步爬楼梯。再说，有时候我还会笨手笨脚、不小心摔掉东西，或磕碰到家具上。不幸的是，大夫们不知道如何治好我的病，但是我很开朗乐观，学会了适应身体的残疾。我的座右铭是：活一天算一天。 十岁以前，我跟其他人是一样的。我常常爬树、游泳、踢足球。说实在的，我过去常常梦想我会成为职业球员，代表我们的国家参加世界杯足球赛。后来，我的身体开始变得越来越虚弱，以至于只能坐在体育场的长凳上欣赏足球了。最后我到医院去做了检查，几乎住了三个月的医院。我想我至少做过十亿次检查了，包括有一次检查，他们从我的腿部切下一小块儿肌肉，放在显微镜下观察。即使做过了所有这些检查，也没有人能够确诊这个病。因此，很难知道将来会是个什么样子。 问题是我看上去跟平常人一样。因此，当我跑了很短的一段路之后，我就会喘不过气来，或者爬楼梯才爬到一半就得停下来休息。因此，上小学时有的孩子见了我这种情况就会笑话我。有时候我的身体太虚弱，上不了学，因此落了许多功课。每次缺课之后，我就觉得自己很笨，因为我比别人落后了。 我在中学时期的生活(比在小学时)要轻松多了，因为我的同学开始接受了我的状况。还有些同学看不到我的内心世界，但是我并不生气，只是不去理会他们罢了。总而言之，我生活得挺好。我很高兴我能做许多事情，比如写作和电脑编程。我有雄心壮志，长大后我要在开发电脑软件的公司里工作。去年我发明了一个电脑足球游戏，有一家大公司已经决定从我这儿买走。我的生活很充实，没有时间闲坐着顾影自怜。除了同我的朋友一起去看电影和足球比赛，我还花很多时间和我的宠物在一起。我有两只兔子、一只鹦鹉、一缸金鱼和一只乌龟。我得花大量时间来照顾这些宠物，但我觉得很值。此外，我还有好多功课，特别是在病了一段时间之后。 在许多方面，我身体的残疾倒使我心理上变得更加坚强、更加独立。我必须努力工作才能过上正常的生活，但这是值得的。假如我有机会跟健康孩子讲一句话，那么，这句话就是：身体残疾并不意味着生活不美满。因此，不要感到残疾人可怜，或者取笑他们，也别不理睬他们。要接受他们，给他们以鼓励，让他们能像你一样过得丰富多彩、充实美满。 谢谢你们读我的故事。．马蒂 致建筑师的一封信桑达斯女士 爱丽斯。梅杰 总建筑师剑桥街64号 影院设计公司班克斯敦 希尔街44号 班克斯敦 20(0年9月2,4日 亲爱的桑达斯女士： 今天我从报上了解到，您将成为班克斯敦新影院的建筑设计师。我希望您不介意我写信询问您是否已考虑到残疾顾客的需要。尤其是以下几点不知您是否考虑到了： 1．为乘坐轮椅的人进入电影院提供充分的便利。影院内的各个部分都安装电梯就会很方便。电梯的按钮应当让乘坐轮椅的人容易够到，电梯门应足够宽。在有些电影院里，(残疾人专用)电梯设在影院背后阴冷而不显眼的地方。由于残疾人必须要使用这些电梯，这就使残疾人感到比别的观众低一等。 2．给听力有障碍的人提供耳机。所有座位的旁边都装有耳机，而不是少数几个座位，那会有帮助。这样可以使那些听力有缺陷的观众和那些听力正常的朋友坐在一起欣赏，而不是让前者坐在一个特定的区域。

But when he was conduct ing experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled. Feeling clumsy, he was annoy ed at first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently. His sister resign ed to help him in many ways. Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapt ed to his disability soon and became outgoing again. In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolish ing Slavery, met with all professors’ approval. After class, he and his companion s often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing. After graduation, he made high profit s by designing software for a firm. All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people’s congratulations. He always wished all the best to his disabled fellow s and encouraged them, “Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.” 中文翻译： 战胜残疾
