课后课时作业
Ⅰ 阅读
A clever technologist took steamboat inventions and turned them into the first commercial steamboat service.
Although Robert Fulton did not invent the steamboat, as is commonly believed, he played an important role in making steamboat travel a reality. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1765. As a young man, he set out to make his name as a portrait painter. His career took him to Europe and into the orbit of people with the power to support him politically and financially.
Fulton entered London society after he painted Benjamin Franklin's portrait. While abroad, Fulton left the arts for a career in shipbuilding. He was interested in the recentlyinvented steam engine, and thought it could be used to power ships. Fulton's vision was not original; many others had entered the field, and the unfortunate inventor John Fitch had built a working steamship already. But like Henry Ford, Fulton's talent lay not in the invention but in the product's application in the marketplace.
Fulton didn't focus entirely on the steamboat. In 1804, he tested the first submarine successfully, which he had built for the British Royal Navy. His invention would make him a celebrity upon his return to the United States two years later. Fulton's partner Robert Livingston obtained an exclusive license for steamboat services on New York's Hudson River. It was time for Fulton to deliver.
To build an efficient, reliable steamboat, Fulton used a special English steam engine. The ship's bottom was flat and its stern was square. The steamboat Clermont made its debut (首次亮相) on August 17, 1807, steaming up the river from New York to Albany, and it soon entered commercial services. The hilly terrain of New York made water transport faster than land transport, and Fulton's boat—formerly known as the “North River Steamboat”—was a hit. Within five years, Fulton would be running services on six major rivers plus the Chesapeake Bay, and bring in great profits.

Studying history provides you with more rounded skills and an improved ability to think critically—something you can take into the rest of your education. __1__ It requires interpretation and analysis of information around subjects that often have no right or wrong answers. Still, there are plenty of effective methods for studying history, like these three:
Connect events together.
When studying significant changes in a country, it's important to know what key events contributed to this. __2__
One popular method for doing this involves making connections to develop the full picture. Note down the important events, facts and people. Then create a mind map with them, using colors and symbols to establish a pattern containing a large amount of easily digestible information.
__3__
While history usually focuses on the larger picture rather than just a number of dates or facts, it is worthwhile adopting memory techniques to ensure that you can reach for specific information when necessary.
Flashcards are an excellent way to do this. Find some cards and write down brief facts or statements. __4__ It allows you to absorb pieces of information every single day. Before long, you'll be able to recite the information on each card.
Soak up (吸收) books and films.
History is packed with reallife stories—many of which are told to a new generation in the form of novels and films. When you have finished studying your textbooks, films and books offer a lighter, but still useful way to learn about history.
__5__ Many books and films take liberties with their chosen subject. You can speak to your history teacher for a reading and viewing list.
A.History is full of stories.
B.Display key information.
C.Stick them around your room.
D.Just be sure to choose the right titles.
E.But history is not about memorizing a list of facts or dates.
F.But through history we can become more creative thinkers.
G.It can lead to a discouraging list of times, dates and people to learn.
篇章导读:本文是一篇应用文。文章主要讲述学习历史的一些有效的方法。

2.G 根据上文可知,在研究一个国家的重大变化时,重要的是要知道哪些关键事件导致了这一变化。G项(这会导致要去学习一系列令人沮丧的时代、日期和人物。)承接上文,说明如何了解关键事件。故选G。
3.B 根据下文“While history usually focuses on ... when necessary.(虽然历史主要关注更大的图景而不仅仅是一些日期或事实,但是采用一些记忆方法来确保当你需要时便可以找到特定的信息是值得的。)”以及“Find some cards and write down brief facts or statements.(找到一些卡片,在上面写下简洁的事实或陈述。)”可知,B项(展示关键的信息。)概括本段内容。故选B。
4.C 根据上文“Find some cards and write down brief facts or statements.(找到一些卡片,在上面写下简洁的事实或陈述。)”以及下文“It allows you to absorb pieces of information every single day.(这会让你每一天都能吸收一些信息。)”可知,C项(把他们贴在你房间里。)承上启下,其中的“them”指代上文中的“cards”。故选C。
5.D 根据下文“Many books and films take liberties with their chosen subject.(许多书籍和电影会歪曲他们选择的主题。)”可知,设空处应描述选择书籍和电影时要注意的事项;D项(一定要确保选择正确的书籍。)引出下文。故选D。

The Little Girl Who Dared To Wish
As Amy Hagadorn rounded the corner across the hall from her classroom, she knocked into a tall boy from the fifth grade running in the opposite direction.
“Watch it, squirt (矮子).” The boy yelled as he passed by the little thirdgrader. Then, with a bad smile on his face, the boy took hold of his right leg and copied the way Amy limped (跛行) when she walked.
Amy closed her eyes. Ignore him, she told herself as she headed for her classroom.
But at the end of the day, Amy was still thinking about the tall boy's mean teasing. It wasn't as if he were the only one. It seemed that ever since Amy started the third grade, someone teased her every single day. Kids teased her about her speech or her limping. Amy was tired of it.
Back home at the dinner table that evening, Amy was quiet. Her mother knew that things were not going well at school. That's why Patti Hagadorn was happy to have some exciting news to share with her daughter.
“There's a Christmas wish contest on the radio station,” Amy's mom announced. “Write a letter to Santa, and you might win a prize.”
Amy giggled. The contest sounded like fun. She started thinking about what she wanted most for Christmas.
A smile took hold of Amy when the idea first came to her. Out came pencil and paper, and Amy went to work on her letter.
Dear Santa Claus,
My name is Amy. I am nine years old. I have a problem at school. Can you help me Santa? Kids laugh at me because of the way I walk and run and talk. I have a serious disease. I just want one day where no one laughs at me or makes fun of me.
Love,
Amy

Mr Tobin called up the local newspaper. The next day, a picture of Amy and her letter to Santa made the front page of the local newspaper. The story spread quickly. All across the country, newspapers and radio and television stations reported the story of the little girl, who asked for such a simple, yet remarkable, Christmas gift—just one day without teasing.
