课时作业(十一) 必修第三册 Unit 3 The world online
一、七选五阅读
“If you buy things you do not need,soon you will have to sell things you need.”This is a piece of wise advice from Warren Buffet,arguably one of the greatest financial minds of the 21st century.1.______ This is true especially in the present economic climate.
While the idea of being frugal(节俭的) has long been a part of Eastern culture,the relatively recent growth of wealth in China as well as the ease of purchasing has led to increased consumerism for many across the country.Yet this increased consumption of goods has been pushing up the prices of certain bare essentials such as housing,transportation and food,which is forcing people to reevaluate their priorities while spending money.2.______
The Internet is flooded with advice on where one can save money as well as good opinions about how they should spend their money.For example,clothes can be bought secondhand,but you should never skip a visit to the dentist.3.______ In the meanwhile,you should limit those that are fancy but not entirely necessary.Of course,it is still fine to occasionally spend money on a nice vacation,but buying thirty pairs of shoes you will only wear a few times is neither responsible nor sustainable.
Hopefully,we all fully understand at this point that the resources on the earth are indeed limited.4.______ As a result,the choice (forced or not) to be frugal is not only good for one's wallet,but also beneficial to the planet in the long run.Have you ever chosen to starve yourself to get a pair of limitededition sneakers?5.______
A.These words have always not been taken seriously by young people.
B.A continuous growth model on this planet is by no means sustainable.
C.They are meant to encourage people to buy more stuff than they need.
D.It makes sense to prioritize goods and services that directly affect your health.
E.Many young people today appear to be taking these words very much to heart.
F.It is no wonder then that being frugal is once again becoming a dominant trend.
G.If so,it is high time you started making changes for yourself and for all humanity.

三、读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I arrived home from school,night was falling.A call came from the public:a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden.He scared them off and grabbed their victim.I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.
We were standing in front of a stranger's house in an unfamiliar street,rescue box in hand.My head was full of instructions to follow.“The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly.We had completed the twoday intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.
But we were anxious,too.After all,it was the first time for us to rescue a bird.Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box?Many worries flashed in my mind.Sensing my unease about the act ahead,Jack said,“These things are pretty easy to deal with!”
I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kindlooking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient.I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angrylooking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs,together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water.He didn't know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan.“It's eaten some banana,” said the man proudly.The poor soul seemed rather nervous,so I decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.
Back home,we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing,but there was no blood on its feathers.Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor(碘伏药水).We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day.How could we help it spend the night peacefully?We hadn't seen this species of bird before,let alone its habits.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack._______________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
The next day,we were glad to see the bird was well enough._____________________
___________________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________________
[参考范文]
Paragraph 1:
“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird,such as its species and habits.Following the given advice,we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace.In order to recover its energy,we gave it some food and water.The bird looked a bit more comfortable,and soon it fell asleep.Having ensured the bird was in good condition,we felt relieved.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,we were glad to see the bird was well enough.It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box.Obviously,it had regained its energy!Realizing it was fully ready for freedom,we took the box outside,placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings.I held the bird up and let it go.The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude.Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile,feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now.
