One is to work individually. In this way, people can decide for themselves when to start work and how to do it. What's more, they will be able to learn how to solve problems on their own. People may also choose to work in a team, where they can learn from each other and help each other. Besides, they may work out better ways to get work done by discussion. Personally, I prefer to work in a team, which offers me a chance to learn how to get along with others and to share my experiences with them. As the work can be divided among several people, it can be done efficiently. Teamwork is always important. 考 點(diǎn) 探 究 互動(dòng)探究·能力備考 Ⅰ.詞匯短語(yǔ)過(guò)關(guān) 1．a(chǎn)buse vt. & n．濫用；虐待 [即學(xué)即練1](1)Don’t ______ ______ __________. 不要濫用你的特權(quán)。 (2)The farmer often ______ ______ ______. 這位農(nóng)夫經(jīng)常虐待他的妻子。 abuse your privilege abused his wife (3)You shouldn’t ________ ______ ______. 你不應(yīng)該過(guò)度使用你的眼睛。 (4)I don’t understand why I should put up with this kind of ______ ______ ______. 我不明白我為什么要忍受她這樣辱罵我。 abuse your eyes abuse from her 2．stress n. 重壓，壓力；逼迫，重音；重點(diǎn)；著重；強(qiáng)調(diào)　vt. 著重；強(qiáng)調(diào) stressful adj. 緊張的，壓力重的 stressed adj. 焦慮的，緊張的，無(wú)法放松的 a stressful job/situation/lifestyle 繁重的工作/艱難的處境/緊張的生活方式 stress that.../sth. 強(qiáng)調(diào)…… in the stress of the moment 一時(shí)緊張 time of stress 危難之際，非常時(shí)期 lay/place/put stress on... 把重點(diǎn)放在……上 under the stress of... 為……所迫 [即學(xué)即練2](1)________ and rhythm are important in speaking English.說(shuō)英語(yǔ)時(shí)重音和節(jié)奏都很重要。 (2)We must ______ _________ ______ selfreliance. 我們必須強(qiáng)調(diào)自力更生。 Stress lay stress on (3)The English curriculum should _________ both composition and reading.英語(yǔ)課程對(duì)寫作和閱讀應(yīng)同樣重視。 (4)Worrying over his job and his wife‘s health ______ him ______ ______ ______ ________.憂慮自己的工作及妻子的健康問(wèn)題使他處于極大的壓力之下。 stress put under a great stress 3．due adj. 預(yù)期發(fā)生的，預(yù)期到達(dá)的，應(yīng)付的，到期的 be due to do sth. 預(yù)期做某事 be due to sth./doing sth./sb. 歸因于某事/歸因于 做某事/欠某人…… be due for sth. 應(yīng)有；應(yīng)得到 [即學(xué)即練3](1)One‘s success ______ largely ______ ______ his efforts. 一個(gè)人的成功在很大程度上是由于他的努力。 (2)The book ______ ______ ______ be published in October.這本書預(yù)定十月出版。 (3)Have they been paid the money ______ ______ ______？ 他們是否已得到了應(yīng)得的錢？ is due to is due to due to them 提示：(1)due 當(dāng)“預(yù)定的；預(yù)期的”講時(shí)，構(gòu)成 be due to 短語(yǔ)，其中 to為不定式符號(hào)，后接動(dòng)詞原形。 (2)due 當(dāng)“應(yīng)得的；應(yīng)付的”講時(shí)，構(gòu)成 be due to sb.短語(yǔ)，其中 to為介詞，后接名詞或動(dòng)名詞。 (3)due to 當(dāng)“因?yàn)?；由于”講時(shí)，to為介詞，與其意義相同的短語(yǔ)為： because of　　因?yàn)? owing to　　由于，因?yàn)? on account of　　由于…… as a result of　　由于…… thanks to　　多虧，幸虧 as a consequence of 由于…… ①Owing to his poor health, his visit to Japan was put off. 由于身體不好，他去日本的訪問(wèn)被推遲了。 ②He was sent to a nursing home on account of age. 他因年邁而被送進(jìn)了福利院。 ③Thanks to a good teacher, he passed the test. 多虧了一位好老師，他考試及格了。 4．a(chǎn)ccustom vt. 使習(xí)慣于，使適應(yīng) accustomed adj. 通常的，習(xí)慣的 be accustomed (used) to (doing) sth.習(xí)慣于(表狀態(tài)) become/get accustomed (＝used) to (doing) sth. 習(xí)慣于(表動(dòng)作) accustom oneself/sb. to (doing) sth. 使自己/某人習(xí)慣于…… [即學(xué)即練4](1)Painting barns red is an _________ practice. 倉(cāng)房刷成紅色是一種習(xí)俗。 (2)He has ______ _________ ______ the way the teacher gives lectures. 他已經(jīng)習(xí)慣了那個(gè)老師的講課方式。 (3)You must __________ __________ ______ the new environment.你必須使自己適應(yīng)新環(huán)境。 accustomed become accustomed to accustom yourself to 5．quit vt.&vi. 停止(做某事)；離開；戒掉 adj. 擺脫(難題等)的 quit doing sth. 放棄干某事，停止干某事 quit office/school 離職/退學(xué) be quit of sb./sth. 擺脫…… [即學(xué)即練5](1)I ______ _________ years ago. 我?guī)啄昵熬徒渚屏恕?

Fifty years after his death, his shock(蓬亂) of white hair and hanging moustache still symbolize genius. Einstein remains the leading scientist of the modern time. Looking back 2 400 years, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals. Around the world, universities and academies are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein's “miracle year” when he published five scientific papers in 1905 that basically changed our grasp of space, time, light and matter. Only he could top himself about ten years later with his theory of relativity. Born in the age of horsedrawn carriages, his ideas launched a technological revolution that has made more change in a century than in the previous two thousand years. Computers, satellites, telecommunications, lasers, televisions and nuclear power all owe their invention to ways in which Einstein exposed a stranger and more complicated reality under－neath the world. He escaped Hitler's Germany and devoted the rest of his life to human rights and peace with an authority( 當(dāng)局) unmatched by any scientist today, or even most politicians and religious leaders. He spoke out against fascism and racial prejudice. His FBI(美國(guó)聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局) file ran 1 400 pages. His letters expose a disorderly personal life—married twice and indifferent toward his children while absorbed in physics. Yet he charmed lovers and admirers with poetry and sailboat outings. Friends and neighbors fiercely protected his privacy(隱私)． 1．The first paragraph implies that Einstein ______. A．had run for president before he worked at his research B．had the gift for politics and music C．was an excellent violinist D．was more a political leader or a musician than a thinker 2．When you think of Einstein, what typical appearance was formed in your mind? A．Funning and humorous with an air of a musician. B．Wearing very wide trousers, a moustache, with an image of an actor. C．Rough untidy mass of white hair and hanging moustache, with an image of a thinker. D．Black long hair and moustache, with an air of a painter. 3．Why was 1905 called Einstein's “miracle year”？ A．Because he topped himself with the theory of relativity. B．Because he made important discoveries of space, time, light and matter. C．Because he published five papers on his theory of relativity. D．Because he wrote five important articles to help people better understand space, time, light and matter. 4．Which of the following is NOT true about Einstein according to the passage? A．He was so busy with the physical research that he showed no interest in politics. B．He tried to amuse his admirers and friends in his spare time. C．When he was absorbed in his research, he didn't care about his family. D．His theory led to much improvement in many technological fields. B Once the 2008 Olympic Games finishes, the drums and trumpets(喇叭) of the competitions would also stop. But would the city remain as lively as it would be after this world event? Investment sustainability and high demand are two highly invaluable economic concepts(概念) that can be looked at in order to ensure postOlympics flourish, or perhaps, an even better future for Beijingers. Naturally, an economic downturn occurs in an Olympic host city once the major event finishes. Renmin University Professor Jin Yuanpu noted that a global event like this would put Beijing into a position of large importance in the international stage.
