After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.‎ 没有人确切知道地球是怎样开始形成的，因为在很早很早以前它就形成了。然而，一种普遍为人们所接受的理论是：宇宙起源于一次大爆炸，这次大爆炸将物质投射到四面八方。然后，原子开始形成并结合 成恒星和其他天体。‎ For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became so violent③ that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not. It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time④ to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth’s atmosphere⑤.

This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.‎ 在火星这些其他行星上都出现了水，但和地球不同的是，这些水后来都消失了。水会对生命的发展起 关键作用，这一点在当时并不明显。很多科学家相信，由于地球上长期有水存在，它使得地球得以把有害气体和酸性物质溶解在海洋里。这就产生了一系列的反应，使得生命就有可能开始发展了。‎ ‎ Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land.

They laid eggs too and existed⑨ on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery. This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to（10） young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.‎ ‎[用法拓展] ‎ alike adj. 相似的；同样的； adv. 一样；以同样的方式 likely adj. 可能的；‎ ‎(3)These kittens look exactly alike how can you tell which is which? 这些小猫看上去一模一样--你怎么能分出哪个是哪个?‎ ‎(4)The boss treats everyone alike. 老板对大家一视同仁。‎ ‎(5)John is likely to be in London this autumn. 今年秋天约翰可能在伦敦。‎ ‎7.harmful adj.有害的 ‎(1)Harmful radiations do not reach the earth because the atmosphere screens them out.‎ 有害的辐射由于得到大气屏蔽无法到达地球。‎ ‎(2)The Earth is a spacecraft too, our atmosphere acting as a shield against harmful radiation and space debris.地球跟宇宙飞船完全一样，其周围的大气对有害的辐射和宇宙碎片起到防护作用。‎ ‎[用法拓展] ‎ harm n. 伤害；损害，常构成do harm to…或do sb. harm结构。‎ vt. 伤害；损害 ‎(3)Strong sunlight can harm your eyes.‎ 好几百万年以后，水的表面开始出现了极小的植物。它们繁殖起来就使得海洋充满了氧气，这为早期的贝类及其他各种鱼类后来的进化创造了条件。接着，绿色植物开始出现在陆地上。随后，陆地上出现了动物，其中有一些是昆虫，另外一些叫两栖动物，它们既能在陆上生活，也能在水里生存。后来，当植物长大成了森林的时候，爬行动物出现了。它们一般是通过孵蛋而繁衍后代的。再后来一些叫做恐龙的巨型动物出现了。它们也生蛋，在地球上生存了一亿四千多万年。然而，六千五百万年前，恐龙时代结束了。‎ Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn（11）, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents(12) heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the ‎ 强光对你的眼睛有害。‎ ‎(4)The polluted air given off by cars will do great harm to our health.汽车排出的废气对人体有很大的伤害。‎ ‎8. lay eggs 产卵；下蛋 ‎(1)The old woman reckoned the number of eggs laid by the hens during the month. ‎ 老太太数了一下这个月里母鸡下了多少蛋。‎ ‎(2)Do you know when animals which lay eggs appeared on earth? ‎ 你知道产卵的动物适合是在地球上出现的吗？‎ ‎(3)The chicken listened to the music and laid some gold eggs. 鸡听了音乐后就下了几个金蛋。‎ ‎9.exist vi. 存在；生存 ‎(1)Very briny water, they say, could exist as a liquid at the low temperatures and pressures on Mars’s surface.‎ 他们表示，盐份极高的水在火星地表的低温和压力下仍可以液态方式存在。‎ ‎(2)All life is born in water, and so far as we know, life cannot exist without water.一切生命都诞生于水中，就我们目前所知，生命无法存在于没有水的环境中。‎ ‎【典型例题】‎ After many years’ research, scientists have found some ‎ earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 它们为什么会突然灭绝至今仍是个谜。恐龙的灭绝使地球上哺乳动物的增多有了可能。哺乳动物不同于以往所有的生物形式，因为它们能从体内生产出幼仔并给幼仔哺乳。 最后，大约260万年前，一些小巧聪明、长着手脚的动物出现了，它们散布在地球的各个地方。于是，他们接着成为了这个行星上最重要的动物。然而，他们对地球却不怎么在意，他们把过多的二氧化碳释放到大气层中，这使得地球上的热不能释放到太空中去。因此许多科学家相信地球可能会因此变得太热而不适合生物的生存。所以，在未来的数百万年中，生命能否在地球上延续取决于这个问题能否得到解决。‎ ‎ evidence that water seemed _____(exist) on the Red Planet.‎ ‎【点拨】to exist seem好像，后接动词不定式。‎ ‎10. give birth to 产生；分娩 ‎(1)The Nile River gave birth to the immortal civilization of the Egyptians.尼罗河孕育了古埃及的不朽文明。‎ ‎(2)They were made from the leftovers of the same gas and dust cloud that gave birth to our star, the Sun.‎ 它们是由形成我们的这颗恒星?太阳的相同气体和灰尘云的剩余物构成的。‎ ‎11. in one’s turn 轮到某人；接着 ‎(1)They all talked about how life began on earth at the meeting, each in his turn. 他们每个人都在会上轮流谈论了地球上生命的起源。‎ ‎[拓展] ‎ in turn依次,轮流；反之，反过来 by turns 轮流；交替地 take turns to do sth.轮流做某事 it is one’s turn to do sth. 轮到某人做某事 ‎(2)She didn’t know how stars are formed and asked the same question of everyone in turn. 他不知道星星是如何形成的，因此依次向每一个人问同样的问题。‎ ‎(3)The shop assistants had to have their days off by turns. 店员要轮流休息。‎ ‎(4)It is your turn to watch the stars through the telescope. 该轮到你通过望远镜观察星星了。‎ ‎12. prevent…from 阻止；制止 ‎(1)In a similar way there are several gases in the atmosphere which trap the heat produced by the sun and prevent it from escaping.‎ 同样的道理，大气层中的多种气体可以捕捉太阳产生的热量，并阻止它扩散。‎ ‎(2)Albert, still extended on the chair, covered his face with both hands, as if to prevent the light from reaching him.阿尔贝仍旧躺在椅子上，用双手遮住他的眼睛，象是要阻止光线照到他身上似的。‎ ‎[温馨提示] ‎ stop…from…和keep…from…也有相同意思，但需要注意的是在keep…from…短语中，介词from不能省略，因为keep sb. doing sth.的意思是“使某人一直做某事”。‎ ‎(1)His father stopped/prevented/kept him from joining the army.他的爸爸阻止他参军。‎ ‎(4)Let’s hurry.

The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not.‎ ‎ a)该句是一个含有结果状语从句的复合句，在从句中含有一个主语从句，其中it是形式主语，whether引导的句子是真正的主语。‎ ‎ b)so…that…如此……以至于……‎ ‎ The light of the sun is so strong that we can’t look at it directly. ‎ ‎ 太阳的光太强了，我们不能直接观看。‎ ‎3.

We visited the moon in our spaceship①!‎ ‎1.spaceship n. 宇宙飞船 ‎(1)The spaceship will soon be launched, and the people at control have already begun to count down.‎ 宇宙飞船很快就要发射了，控制室的人已经开始在倒数了。‎ ‎(2)The scientists are able to calculate accurately when the spaceship will reach the moon.‎ 我的朋友李彦平是一位天文学家，上个月我有幸得到一个机会同他一起去太空旅行。我们乘宇宙飞船参观了月球。‎ ‎ Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most powerful. Then we were off. As the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull② of the earth’s gravity.(1) It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other. Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him. “Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground.” I asked. “We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull,” he explained, “so we feel as if there is no gravity at all. (2)When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth’s”. I cheered up③ immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger(3).‎ 科学家能准确地计算出太空船什么时候抵达月球。‎ ‎2.pull n.拉力 vt. 拖；拉 ‎(1)The moon’s pull affects the tides on earth. 月亮的引力影响地球上的潮汐。‎ ‎(2)The lecture on solar pulled a great crowd. 有关太阳系的讲演吸引了一大群人。 ‎ ‎(3)As an object gets away from the earth, the strength of the pull weakens. ‎ 当一个物体离开地球时，地球引力的强度就减弱。‎ ‎ [拓展] ‎ pull up (使)停下来；向上拉 pull down拆毁 pull over把……开到路边 ‎(4)The driving instructor told me to pull up at the post office. 驾驶教练让我在邮局停车。‎ ‎(5)Plans have been put forward to pull down and rebuild the area. 已提出计划，要把这个地区的房屋推掉重建。‎ ‎(6)I shouted to the driver of the tractor to pull over and let me through. 我向拖拉机手喊，要他把拖拉机开到路边让我过去。‎ ‎3.cheer up高兴起来；感到振奋 在启程以前，李彦平向我解释说，在我们的航行中会有三次引力的改变，而第一次的改变将是最强的。随后我们就启航了。随着火箭的升空，由于我们在努力挣脱地球的引力，我们被向后推在座位上。这种引力太强了，以至于我们彼此间都不能说话了。随后，这个力量慢慢减小，我才能够同他讲话。我问道：“为什么太空船不会向后朝地球的方向落下去呢？在地球上的时候，如果我从树上掉下来，总会朝地上落下去的。”李彦平解释说：“现在我们离地球太远了，感觉不到地球的拉力，所以我们感觉好像没有地球引力了。当我们更接近月球时，就会感到月球的引力在拉我们。但是，月球的引力不像地球的引力那么大。” 我立刻感到很高兴，由于失重我在太空舱里飘来飘去，我望着（身后的）地球越来越小，而（前方的）月球越来越大。‎ ‎ When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately, “Come on,” I said. “If you are right, my weight will be less than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely. I might even grow taller if I stay here long enough. I shall certainly weigh less!” I laughed ‎ ‎(1)People all cheered up immediately when they saw the total solar eclipse.人们看到全日食后立刻高兴起来。 ‎ ‎(2)Cheer up!

But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over. “Oh dear,” I cried, “walking does need a bit of practice now that④ gravity has changed.” After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.‎ 我们到达月球时，我就想立即进行探测。“来吧，”我说，“要是你讲得对，我的重量就会比在地球上小，因为月亮比地球小，而我就能更自由地活动了。如果我在月球上呆的时间足够长的话，我甚至可能长得更高，我的体重肯定也会变得更轻！”我笑着从飞船的梯级上爬下来。而当我试着向前迈步的时候，我发觉我被送出去很远，步子的跨度竟是在地球上的两倍，因而我摔倒了。“天哪，”我大声说，“重力改变了，看来走路也的确需要练一练了。”过了一会儿，我才掌握了走路的诀窍，这才开始感到自如了。‎ ‎ Leaving the moon’s gravity was not as painful as leaving the earth’s.

Do you think we could visit some stars next time?” “Of course,” he smiled, “which star would you like to go to?”‎ ‎ 摆脱月球引力不像摆脱地球引力那样痛苦；但是返回到地球的经历是非常吓人的。我们惊奇地看着，随着地球引力的增加，宇宙飞船的外层燃烧起火。当我们回到地面时，我们又感到被重重地推倒在座位上。我说道：“真是精疲力竭了，但也很激动人心。关于引力，我现在就懂得更多了。你认为下次我们可以上星球上去参观吗？”“当然可以，”他笑着说，“你想到哪颗星球上去呢？”‎ ‎ out是固定短语，表示战争、火灾等的“爆发”，不能用于被动语态。‎ ‎(1)A huge forest fire broke out after the lightning struck.‎ 闪电打下来之后，突然引起一场森林大火。‎ ‎(2)When the war broke out, the two countries broke off their diplomatic relations.  ‎ 战争爆发后,两国间断绝了外交关系。‎ ‎(3)If a war broke out, many other countries will be affected.‎ 一旦战争爆发，许多国家都要受到波及。‎ ‎[拓展] ‎ break up 解散；打碎 break down坏了；累垮了 break into闯入 break through突破 break away from脱离 break in打断谈话 ‎[典型例题] ‎ I was still sleeping when the fire broke ____, and then it spread quickly. 【点拨】out 根据fire判断，要填out，break out爆发。‎ ‎6.watch out当心；提放，后接名词时要加for。‎ ‎(1)Watch out for cars when you cross the road.‎ 过马路时当心车辆！‎ ‎(2)I advised them to watch out for slick spots on the sidewalk. 我叫他们当心人行道上路滑的地方。‎ ‎(3)We have to watch out for fast traffic along here.  ‎ 这里来往的车辆开得很快，我们必须小心。‎ ‎[拓展] ‎ watch over监视；看守 on watch值班 on the watch留意；提防着 ‎[典型例题] ‎ The building around the comer caught fire last night.

Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is ‎ beneficial and important for all students.‎ ‎………………………………………………………………………………………………‎ ‎………………………………………………………………………………………………‎ The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.‎ Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. ‎ So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.‎ ‎70. According to the passage, the arts and science .‎ A. approach the world from different angles B. explore different phenomena of the world C express people’s feelings in different ways D. explain what it means to be human differently ‎[答案] A。本题属于间接信息题，需要根据文章中出现的信息综合考虑。文章的第四段中谈到“艺术是我们人类相互’交谈’的语言，是我们表达恐惧、好奇、饥饿、 发现、希望的文明语言等”，由此可以看出，人们通过艺术来展现整个世界，也就是说“艺术让我们从不同的角度来了解这个世界”。‎ ‎ 2. 满分作文赏析 国际文化交流中心将组织一次由各国学生参加的“和平 · 友谊”夏令营活动，要求报名者提交英文个人简介。假设你是王姗，请根据下列信息写一篇个人简介。‎ 注意：‎ ‎( l )词数不少于 120。‎ ‎( 2)可根据内容要点适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。范文：I am a 16-year-old girl by the name of Wang Shan, and I’m currently studying in Beijing Sunshine Middle School.‎ My interests include music, photography, and I believe that communication is the most essential skill and have developed a liking for communication skills.

The first case is a solar eclipse or eclipse of the sun, which occurs as the earth enters the shadow of the moon. The second describes a lunar eclipse or eclipse of the moon, which happens when the moon enters the shadow of the earth.‎ More than 60 percent of Nigerians are uneducated, and eclipses in some parts of the country in the past have caused commotions in which people have been killed and property destroyed. Some Nigerians believe an eclipse is punishment from the gods for evil doing.‎ The March 29th eclipse would be the fifth in Nigeria’s history, and it is expected to last for 30 minutes — 9:15AM to 9:45AM, according to the official prediction. Nigeria witnessed eclipses in 1898, 1947, 1959, and 2001. ‎ The shadows in an eclipse have a central dark part called umbra, and a less dark external section called penumbra. In the umbra, all the sun’s light is cut off, and this is called total eclipse; while in the penumbra, only a part of the light from the sun is cut off from the moon, and it is called partial eclipse. ‎ Five Nigerian states — Oyo, Kwara, Niger, Zamfara, and Katsina — are expected to have total eclipse, while other parts of the country will experience partial eclipse.‎ ‎21. This passage is mainly written to ________.‎ A. predict a eclipse of the sun in Nigeria B. compare a eclipse of the sun with a eclipse of the moon C. provide information on a coming eclipse of the sun in Nigeria D. show that people in Nigeria receive little education ‎22. What does the underlined word “commotions” mean?‎ ‎ A. Surprises. B. Disorders.‎ ‎ C. Wars. D. Worries.‎ ‎23. If this passage is taken from a newspaper, which section is the passage probably from?‎ A. Entertainment. B. Economy. ‎ C. Education. D. Science.‎ ‎24. The best title for this passage is ________.‎ A. What Is an Eclipse B. How Foolish People in Nigeria Are C. Nigeria Expects Solar Eclipse D. Solar Eclipse Happens on March 29‎ B When people want to know about the weather, they usually go to there radios, TVs, newspapers, or to the Internet. However, you can also find many weather signs among wildlife, because of their highly developed senses. Drops in air pressure(压力) produce an effect on small animals in many ways. Mice and deer are good weather indicators. People who spend a lot of time outdoors have observed that, before a storm, field mice come out of their holes and run around, Deer leave high ground and come down from the mountains.‎ ‎ Birds are especially good weather indicators because they also show the effect of a pressure drop in many ways. For example, some birds become irritable(急躁的)and quarrelsome and will fight over a piece of bread. Other birds chirp (叽叽喳喳) and sing just before a storm. It seems they know they won’t get another chance for an hour on two. Birds also seek safe places before a storm. You will sometimes see birds settling in trees or gathering together on a wire close to a building.

Nature’s Weather Signs C In June, 2010, a group of students from eight high schools in Winnipeg, the capital of Canada’s Manitoba province, will begin test-launching(试发射) a satellite the size of a Rubik’s cube.‎ The one-kilogram Win-Cub satellite, named for its home city and its shape, will be put into low orbit. Once in space, it can perform for a few months or up to several years, communicating information that could help find the signs of earthquakes.‎ There are 80 similar satellite projects worldwide, but this is the first high-school based program of its kind in Canada．30 Manitoba high school students are having a hand in designing and building the satellite, in cooperation with aerospace(航空航天的) experts and 10 students from the University of Manitoba, and with support from two other organizations.‎ The Win-Cube project is not something that goes on a piece of paper; it is real-world engineering, allowing high school students to have an opportunity to learn more about the exciting world of engineering through their participation in this challenging program. It is also taken as a wonderful example of the unique partnerships within Manitoba. Designing, building and launching a satellite with high-school participation will bring this world-class educational project into reality and Manitoba closer to space.‎ ‎“These Manitoba high school students deserve congratulations for their enthusiasm, innovation(创新), and a strong love for discovery,” said Education, Citizenship and Youth Minister Peter Bjomson. “We want to make science more relevant, interesting and attractive to high school students by showing them how classroom studies can relate to practical experience in the workplace or, in this case, in space,” Bjomson added.‎ The Win-Cube program is mainly named at inspiring a strong desire for discovery on the part of the students. It also shows Manitoba’s devotion to research and innovation and the development of a skilled workforce—all important drivers of knowledge-based economic growth. 29.

What I find difficult is that I have to share my bedroom with my cousin who wants to work at night but not during the evening. So he keeps the light on and makes it very difficult for me to go to sleep.‎ S3: That’s no problem. My advice is putting a towel over your head and the darkness will soon put you to sleep. My Problem, now is really impossible to solve. The trouble is that I’m unable to concentrate on my work because I get so worried about the exams. It seems as if I freeze and can’t do anything. This makes me worry even more and then I really panic.‎ S4: Don’t worry. I used to have that problem. What I would advise is to meditate on your bed every night before going to bed. Classical music also seems to help. I think you should try it.‎ S3: Thanks. I will.‎ S2: I’ll also try your suggestion of the towel – maybe that will work for me.‎ S1: As for me, I shall just have to discover a way of working even harder so I have more free time!‎ LISTENING TASK Answer key for Exercise 1:‎ Look at the list on Page l l3 (SB Speaking and writing).‎ Suggested answers to Exercise 2:‎ ‎1. Hubble telescope 2. oxygen 8. waist ‎3. gravity boots 4. engines 5. weigh ‎7. tiring 6. feathers Suggested answers to Exercise 3:‎ Questions ‎ Notes Why did Li Yanping have to repair the Hubble telescope?‎ It needed cleaning so that it would work better Which two ways does his spacesuit protect him in space?‎ ‎1. It carries oxygen.‎ ‎2. It carries hot and cold water to warm him if it is too cold and cool him if it is not too hot.‎ How does he move about in space?‎ He used small engines.‎ What does it feel like in space?‎ Strange because you do not weigh anything. You can fly around like feathers.‎ What happens if you fly too far from the spaceship?‎ You would continue into space and never get back to the spaceship.‎ Was the repair successful?‎ Yes. The Hubble telescope works ‎ well now Answer key for Exercise 4:‎ ‎1. oxygen can (on the back) 4. Left engine (on the left side)‎ ‎2. Water system (the part of the suit covering the body) 5. might engine (on the right side)‎ ‎3. Gravity boots (on the feet) 6 Tool kit (on the waist, at the back)‎ READING TASK Old ideas about “Black holes”‎ Was this what we found?‎ New ideas about “Black holes”‎ ‎1. Black holes cannot be seen.‎ Yes You can only “see” it by watching the movements of the objects caught by its gravity.‎ ‎2. Gravity pulls objects towards them.‎ Yes ‎ ‎3. Objects go round outside the edge of the "black hole"‎ Yes ‎ ‎4. All objects must go into the ‘`black hole" when they are caught by Yes ‎ They can be thrown farfrom the “black hole” by its energy.‎ ‎ its gravity SPEAKING TASK Possible answers to the questions:‎ ‎1. Most unexpected thing: "black holes" threw out material as well as swallowing objects.‎ ‎2. Knowing when we reached it: You only know you are close to a black hole by seeing things going around what appears to be an empty space. The black hole cannot be seen.‎ ‎3. Most frightening experience: when the gravity of the "black hole" was Pulling us slowly into its "mouth", and then the spaceship moved around the hole; I was terrified because I thought we would be swallowed by the "hole".‎ WRITING TASK I would like to visit the planet, Venus. I have always wanted to visit it ever since I first found out which star it was in the night sly I think it would take me a long time to get there. So I would need a spaceship with lots of entrainment. It would be very important for me to exercise so I would need a gym and a swimming pool. Then I would be strong enough when I return to the earth to tell my story.‎ I hope that I will see many exciting things on Venus. My spacesuit will have to be able to withstand heat of over 1000 degrees and not melt I expect Venus will be very cloudy hot and humid I shall need special clothes to wear and air to breathe. I would like to be the first astronaut to walk on Venus and plot its geography.‎
