2017-2018学年人教版高一英语暑假作业（1）

一、阅读理解

1 Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

3. A person can use all five senses while spending time with dolphins. We can see them play in the waves, hear them call, and feel their skin. Dolphins can sense you, too, but not in all the same ways. They have good eyesight, for example, but no sense of smell. Sensory biologists try to understand connections between animal behaviors and the senses. One team of these scientists recently made an unexpected discovery about certain dolphins.

The researchers found that Guiana dolphins can detect electric fields, an ability that may help them find fish to eat. The secret to this newly found sense, say the scientists, is hidden in the dolphins' snouts(口鼻部).

“We were really surprised to find this in the dolphin. Nobody had expected it,” said Wolf Hanke, who led the new dolphin study.

Hanke and his team suspected the dolphin's electro-sense might have something to do with small dimples(酒窝) on the animal's snout. “We thought they must have some functions,” Hank said. To find out for certain, his team studied two Guiana dolphins.

The scientists first studied the dimples of a 29-year-old dolphin that had died of natural causes. Under a microscope, the dimples looked familiar: they were similar to the sensors used by other animals to detect electric fields.

Next, Hanke and his team tested a live dolphin, a 28-year-old named Paco,to see if he could recognize an electric field. They taught Paco to swim close to a device that could create a weak electric field in the water. Then the team taught Paco to swim away from the device if he detected any changes. When the scientists created an electric field, Paco swam away—showing that he knew something had changed.When there was no electric field, Paco stayed there. When Paco's snout was covered in plastic, he didn't react to the electric field.

Paco's behavior told the scientists that the dolphin used his snout to detect the tiny electric field. “This is a major breakthrough,” Peter Madsen, a sensory biologist, said. 1.From the passage we learn that________.

4. New year's Eve, which is on December 31, is the last day of the year and serves as a time for public and private partiesin Germany. It is also a time to look back at the past year and forward to the new one. In the evening,German television broadcasts the same programs and short films each year.

Many people spend the morning and afternoon of New year's Eve quietly or preparing the celebrations in the evening and night. Some people mark the end of the old year and the start of the New Year by attending a church service that ends at

midnight. In many cities and some smaller towns and villages, there are big public celebrations that often begin in the evening and last throughout the night. Many celebrations feature local or national singers and musicians.

Some people hold private celebrations at home. They invite friends and family members and prepare a festive meal, often in the form of a buffet(自助餐). Television programs relating to New year's Eve can play an important role in celebrations at home. The film, Dinner for One, which is
