课时作业 三十 　模块5　Unit 3 Science and nature 2‎ 建议时间 / 40分钟 ‎　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A 词数:327 　主题:宗谱学 　文体:说明文 Genealogy, also known as family history, is the study of families and the tracing of their lineages(家系) and history. Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analyses, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members. The results are often displayed in charts or written as descriptions.‎ The pursuit of family history and origins tends to be shaped by several motives, including the desire to carve out a place for one's family in the larger historical picture, a sense of responsibility to preserve the past for future generations, and a sense of self-satisfaction in accurate storytelling.‎ In communitarian societies, one's identity is established as much by one's kin network as by individual achievement, and the question “Who are you?” would be answered by a description of father, mother, and lineages. New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.‎ In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders. Establishing descent(血统) from these was, and is, important to such groups as the Daughters of the American Revolution(DAR).‎ Modern family history explores new sources of status, such as celebrating the rebirth of families that survived generations of poverty or slavery, or the success of families in combining across racial or national boundaries. Some family histories even emphasize links to celebrity criminals, such as the bushranger(绿林好汉) Ned Kelly in Australia.‎ The growing interest in family history in the media coupled with easier access to online records has allowed those who are curious to do so to start investigating their ancestry. This curiosity can be particularly strong among those whose family histories were lost or unknown due to, for example, adoption or separation from family, perhaps as a result of bereavement(丧失亲人).‎ ‎1.

How was the study conducted?‎ A.By collecting and analysing data.‎ B.By interviewing lots of people.‎ C.By researching previous studies.‎ D.By studying different lifestyles.‎ ‎6. Some people keep healthy lifestyle but die younger than others because 　　　　. ‎ A.their biological clock is not powerful enough B.the most definitive evidence has been found C.they have a higher actual age than others D.they age at a relatively faster biological rate ‎7. According to the study, it can be inferred that 　　　　. ‎ A.people who keep healthy lifestyle tend to live longer B.people's lifespan can be predicted by their age C.anti-aging interventions have proved to slow the innate aging rate D.5 per cent of people are believed to have a faster innate aging rate Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Technological innovation (创新) may not give you a warm feeling. 　8　 Messaging apps are examples of technology that are helping bring people together. It's ready to continue improving our lives as innovation allows technology to really understand how we live. ‎ ‎　9　 ‎ Some of the most popular and widely adopted innovations make things we're already doing easier. A well-designed piece of technology can transform something that consumes time into a worry-free sweep of your finger, giving you more time to spend with friends and family.‎ Proving that you really are you Developers keep finding new and brilliant ways to prove our identities online. With fingerprints and voice recognition, technology keeps getting better at proving we are who we say we are. 　10　 The more trust we have, the easier it will be to fully embrace the empowering aspects of fintech (金融科技) and having control of our financial data. ‎ Helping make good ideas a reality Crowdfunding (众筹) technology keeps breaking down barriers that may have previously kept good ideas from being realized. Here's how it works: you pitch (拋) your project to people through an online platform. 　11　 By connecting dreamers and inventors to a new type of capital, technology is giving more creative ideas their opportunity to become a reality. ‎ Adding even more quality to quality time As technology continues improving, it becomes easier to build and maintain a connection with someone who isn't in the same location as you. 　12　 And think about how great it will be when you can interact with your friends and relatives in virtual reality. It will be the next best thing to being together in person. ‎ A.Sparing some time to make researches B.Freeing up more time for friends and family C.However, when at its best, it opens our eyes to many things.‎ D.Actually, it can do wonders to deepen our interpersonal connections.‎ E.That technology can make it easier to trust the connections we make online.‎ F.If they are interested in your project, they donate money to fund your project.‎ G.Think about how much easier it is to connect via video conferencing than before.‎ Ⅲ.短文改错 Good morning, everyone. I'd like to share my ideas about books in the future to you.‎ I think the books will be quite different from that they are now. First of all, they will look like the pads today, but their sizes will be changeable, too. Secondly, their colours will change depend on how the surroundings change, which will be good for eye. What's more, they will be very much more practical. For example, if you met a question when reading, you can immediate get an answer by “talking” with the book. In word, I think books in the future will be more useful and interested.‎ That's all. Thank you!‎ Ⅳ.书面表达 假定你是李华,正在负责策划“绿色校园”活动(Green Campus Campaign),请给你的美国笔友Henry写封邮件,向他介绍此次活动的内容并征求他的建议。‎ 注意:1.词数100左右;‎ ‎2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 ‎ ‎ ‎ 课时作业(三十)‎ Ⅰ. A ‎【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了宗谱学的相关研究。‎ ‎1.A　推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Genealogists use oral interviews, historical records, genetic analyses, and other records to obtain information about a family and to prove kinship(亲属关系) and lineages of its members.”可推知,宗谱学和人们验证身份的DNA测试有关联,故选A。‎ ‎2.B　词义猜测题。根据第二段的关键词the desire, a sense of responsibility和a sense of self-satisfaction可推知,motives的含义为“驱动力”,故选B。‎ ‎3.B　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“New Zealand Māori, for example, learn genealogies to discover who they are.”和对第三段的整体理解可推知,毛利族研究宗谱学是为了追宗求源,故选B。‎ ‎4.D　推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“In societies such as Australia or the United States, there was by the 20th-century growing pride in the pioneers and nation-builders.”和对本段的整体理解可推知,研究宗谱学可以增强人们的爱国热情,故选D。‎ B ‎【文章大意】 本文讲述了一项最新的研究成果:生物年龄才是制约一个人寿命的重要因素,而不是我们的实际年龄。大约5%的人口是以较快的生物速度老化的,这解释了为什么有的人生活方式健康仍然早逝。‎ ‎5.A　细节理解题。由第三段 “…record age-related changes to human DNA,analyse blood samples collected from 13,000 people and estimate their lifespan.”可知,研究通过记录与年龄相关的 DNA 的变化和分析血液样本来预估实验者的寿命。A项意为“通过收集和分析数据”,符合文意。故正确答案为A。‎ ‎6.D　细节理解题。由第五段最后一句“‘We have shown some people have a faster innate(与生俱来的) aging rate.’”可知,生活习惯良好的人却早逝是因为他们先天老化更快。D项意为“他们的生物老化速度相对更快”,符合文意。故正确答案为D。‎ ‎7.D　推理判断题。由第六段“ The findings discovered that 5 per cent of the population ages at a faster biological rate…”可知,5%的人口有更快的生物老化速率,故D项正确。‎ Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。科技创新可能不会给你一种温暖的感觉。事实上,它能创造奇迹。创新让科技真正地了解我们的生活方式。创新让我们腾出更多的时间给朋友和家人,证明自己的身份,把好主意变成现实。创新让我们的生活更加方便。‎ ‎8.D　根据下文“Messaging apps are examples of technology that are helping bring people together.

We are to start a Green Campus Campaign to inspire students to be environmentally conscious at school. Could you give us some advice on our current plan at your convenience?‎ We plan to play a 30-minute video first, which is about how to save water, paper, cans and electricity at school. Students will surely be impressed by the striking figures and helpful tips. Then our science teacher will give a live show in the lab on what actually happens to those recyclable materials during the recycling process. This will be really popular.‎ What else can we do? Looking forward to your constructive suggestions.‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎ ‎
