Greco-Roman Festival

Friday, April 28th!

As a member of the group,

you will take part in at least

one of the following activities.

Activity I: Compete in an Olympic event

Sign up with your English teacher, and remember space is limited for each event. See the following list:

● Hercules Throw — Throw a football through a hoop (鐵環(huán)) 20 feet away.

● Three-Headed Race — Three people line up with touching legs tied. Then they run the distance of the gym.

● Toga-Barrow Race —This is like a wheelbarrow race while wearing your toga (寬外袍). (Runners hold their partners’ feet while they walk on hands.)

Activity II: Make Greek or Roman food

Mrs. Jones has a list of recipes (食譜) from ancient Greece and Rome. Remember to give the food you make a unique name. For example, call your chocolate cake Zeus’s Delight.

Activity III: Create a work of art for the museum

Be sure your artwork reflects ancient Greek or Roman culture. Artwork may include sculptures, paintings, drawings or models. The museum is a great place to show off your artistic talent.

Activity IV: Perform an original play, song, or dance for the talent show

Rewrite your favorite Greek myth (神話) using modern language, or change the words of a popular song to tell a Greek or Roman tale. Gather your creative energy and send your ideas to your English teacher for approval.

Activity V: Come to the Toga-Tying party

Since the ancient Greeks should inspire your dressing for the event, feel free to attend the festival in a toga. Learn to tie your toga. Thursday, April 27th. After school in the gym.

科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆四川雅安市高三11月月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.

“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”

This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.

It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It’s the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.

As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn’t need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.

So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn’t have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.

1.What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?

A. be refused by B. be beneficial to

C. make a difference to D. receive support from

2.What are the advantages of robot pets?

a. They are plastic and feel smooth.

b. Owners needn’t worry about them when going out.

c. They can help cure allergies（過敏）.

d. They save space and costs.

A. ab B. bc C. bd D.cd

3.We can learn from the passage that___________.

A. Sony is the first company to produce robot pets Aibo.

B. People can develop strong bond（聯(lián)系、關(guān)系） with their robot pets.

C. Rault thinks robot pets still have a long way to go.

D. Robot toys may help people care more about living beings.

4.The passage mainly tells us___________.

A. the advantages of robot toys

B. the popularity of robot pets

C. living pets are dying out

D. robot pets are coming

Scientists believe that one of our most important means of knowing what is going on around us is the sense of sound. We are warned of danger by sounds. Sounds serve to please us in music. Sound has a waste product, too, in the form of noise. Noise has been called unwanted sound. Noise is growing and it may get much worse before it gets any better.

In order to know how noise affects people and animals, scientists have been studying for several years. They are surprised by what they have learned. Peace and quiet are becoming harder to find. Noise pollution is a threat that should be looked at carefully.

Sounds is measured in units called decibels (分貝). At a level of 140 decibels people feel pain in their ears.

Trucks , buses , motorcycles, airplanes, boats, factories---all these things make noise. They trouble not only our ears, but minds and bodies as well.

There is a saying that it is so noisy that you can’t hear yourself think. Doctors who study noise believe that we must sometimes hear ourselves think. If we don’t, we may have headaches, other aches and pains, or even worse mental problems.

Noise adds more tension (緊張) to a society that has already faced enough stress.

1.The sense of sound _________.

A. makes us feel excited

B. helps us hear more clearly

C. is something harmful to us

D. helps to know what is happening around us

2.When sound is turned into noise, ______________.

A. people grow worse and worse

B. it makes us forget all the past

C. people don’t know what to do with everyday life

D. it will be a kind of pollution to people

3.Why does the passage say peace and quiet are becoming harder to find?

A. Because the world is making more and more noise.

B. Because wars and battles happen here and there in the world.

C. Because all the sounds are becoming over 140 decibels.

D. Because some machines can make noise.

4.Doctors say we can hear ourselves think __________.

A. if we don’t like to hear noise

B. if we have no aches or pains in our bodies
