muscle as men can.3._ myth that keeps women from strength training properly is 4._， if women do lift weights, they should be light weights and they shouldnt train very hard. this is 5._ untrue. finally, many women believe that, if they start strength training, see some results，6._ then stop, the muscle they have built up will turn to fat. that is physically impossible. of course, if you stop

year our family decided to have a special celebration of mothers day，as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that mother had made for us. after breakfast we had arranged，as a surprise，to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country.mother was rarely able to have a treat like that，because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.but on the very morning of the day，we changed the plan a little，because it occurred to father that it would be even better to take mother fishing.as the car was hired and paid for，we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are.as father said，if you just go driving without object，you have a sense of aimlessness，but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.so we all felt it would be nicer for mother to have a definite purpose.father had just got a fishing rod the day before，which he said mother could use if she wanted to.only mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.so we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry，though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.well，when the car came to the door，it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed.it was plain that we couldnt all get in.father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden.he said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do，like digging a trench for the garbage，which would save hiring a man，and so he said that hed stay at home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way.he wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.but of course we all felt that it would never do to let father stay home，especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did.the two girls，anne and mary，would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner，only it seemed such a pity，for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this.but they said that mother had only to say the word and theyd gladly stay at home and work.will and i would have dropped out，but unfortunately we wouldnt have been any use in preparing the dinner.1the authors family decided to celebrate mothers day specially to _.ashow love for their motherbshow gratitude to their mothercshow respect for their motherdto make up for a previous appointment2according to paragraph 2，we know that the plan was changed because _.afather proposed to go fishing outbwe thought that driving out is boringcwe failed to hire a car to go outdthe car was not big enough3what problem did we find when the car arrived?athe car was too old to drive on mountain roads.bthe car was larger than we expected.cthe car was too small to accommodate us all.dthe car was too plain looking.4why didnt the author drop out of the activity?abecause his sisters didnt join in.bbecause he needed to have dinner.cbecause he couldnt cook the dinner.dbecause he hadnt had a real holiday for three years.5which of the following proverbs describes the text best?aeverything comes to him who waits.bchanges always go beyond plans.cbetter late than never.donce on shore，one prays no more.b(2015广东茂名高三模拟)kids undergo a large amount of pressure and stress during their school exams，which can often become quite overwhelming for them.it may be the first experience of stress，at this level，they have ever experienced and therefore quite frightening.yes，you may say that its all a part of growing up and therefore good lessons for them to learn，and to an extent i agree with you.however，its important to learn how to prepare for lifes challenges so that they arent overwhelming or scary and so that we are able to manage them the best we can.here are some tips you can use during your kids exam time.break their revision plan down into small parts.doing this will help transform what once seemed like a huge impossible task into a more manageable one.help them arrange properly so that the subjects they like the least (perhaps ones that require more time and effort) are worked on first; once they are out of the way，it will help reduce the worry.plan week on week to make sure they are on track.ticking items of a list each week will help them to feel good about themselves and their progress.create rewards for all the ticksa favourite tv programme，a delicious snack，an hours surfing the internet，computer games or whatever it was that they enjoy the most.this will encourage them to carry on and make them feel good.think of strategies on

theredetermination，persistence，hard work，patience，positivity，dedicationdiscuss how they can apply these skills to their exams.acknowledge that if they do their best that is good enough.ensure they realize that this period in their lives will pass and that exams are only a temporary time in their lives; nothing can and does last forever.ensure they keep their eye on the prize：enjoying their long summer holiday when the exams are finished; giving them something to look forward to will help to motivate them and provide a positive end in sight.6according to paragraph 1，its important to learn how

facts，the opera presents the audience with an encyclopedia(百科全书)of chinese culture，as well as developing stories，beautiful paintings，magnificent costumes，graceful gestures and martial arts.since peking opera enjoys a higher reputation than other local operas，almost every province in china has more than one peking opera troupe.opera is so popular among chinese people，especially seniors，that even “peking opera month” has been declared.peking operas main tune originated from xipi and erhuang in anhui and hubei and，over time，techniques from many other local operas were incorporated into peking opera.it is believed that peking opera gradually came into being after 1790 when the famous four anhui opera troupes came to beijing.peking opera experienced fast development during the period of emperor qianlong and the infamous empress cixi，eventually becoming more accessible to the common people.in ancient times，peking opera was performed mostly on stage in the open air，teahouses or temple courtyards.since the orchestra played loudly，the performers developed a sharp style of singing.the costumes were a gorgeous collection of sharply contrasting colors to stand out on the stage lighted only by oil lamps.peking opera is a harmonious combination of the grand opera，ballet and acrobatics (杂技)，consisting of dance，dialogue and martial arts.the peking opera band mainly consists of an orchestra and percussion(打击乐器)band.the former frequently accompanies peaceful scenes while the latter provides the right atmosphere for battle scenes.the orchestral instruments include the erhu，huqin，yueqin，sheng，pipa and other instruments.the band usually sits on the left side of the stage.title: 1._2._more than 200 years long3._it came into being after 1790 when the four 4._ came to

substitute for it. the current assumption is that our basic needs for waterwhether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. given that premise(前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more access to water or more engineering solutions (more dams, for instance)looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in africa. the ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river, or rather, the pulse of the water. and the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the down stream ecology. in the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. but in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. the engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability. dams in africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less agriculturenone of which were expected.the challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. although gm technology will allow us to breed better dryland crops, there is no market stimulation for companies to develop crops suitable for the microclimates of the sahel and elsewhere in africa. who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the third world?this brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water: money. in the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in mexico city or delhi. if youre rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming poolyet millions in such cities cant get safe drinking water. people talk about the coming water crisis. i believe we have one now. it is a water crisis for the poor.1according to the passage, what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis？(no more than 8 words)_2what will happen when dams are built in river basins in africa？(no more than 6 words)_3why are companies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for the third world？(no more than 6 words)_4what is the tone of the passage？(1 words)_模块2课后达标检测4.单项填空1解析：选a。句意：你为什么选择去一家国际旅行社工作？哦，你知道，英语是我的强项。因此，这是我的最佳选择。strength“优势，强项”；talent“才能”；ability“能力”；skill“技能”。2解析：选d。convinced that.引导状语从句表原因，convince与all the nations为动宾关系，所以用convince的过去分词形式，故选d项。3解析：选a。考查动词时态。句意：一百年以后人们会死于什么呢？如果你认为那是一个简单的问题，那说明你没有在关注生物技术革命。此处用现在完成进行时表示从过去到现在一直没有关注。故选a项。4解析：选a。句意：警察们正在搜查那座寺庙，以找出那个凶手。“搜查为找出”用“search.for.”表达。5解析：选b。考查状语从句的省略。if invited 是if i am invited的省略形式。6解析：选a。“向某人解释某事”不能说explain sb.sth.，而应该说explain to sb.sth.或explain sth.to sb.。that引导定语从句，修饰reason并在从句中作explained的宾语。be hard on sb.“对某人严格/苛刻”。7解析：选c。当dozen与具体数字连用时，既不加复数词尾s，也不后接介词of。当它不与具体数字连用，而是表示不确定的泛指时，则不仅要加复数词尾s，而且要后接介词 of，此时可将dozens of “许多，几十”视为习语。8解析：选b。答语句意：我发现她时，她正在做一个重要的实验，她还没有做完(所以没让她来这儿)。根据句意，第一空应用过去进行时态；第二空表示的动作还没完成，故用现在完成时态。9解析：选d。从句中的信息看这个程序从三个月前就开始，到现在还不清楚是否完成。10解析：选c。puzzled expression“困惑的表情”。11解析：选a。考查倒装。not
