‎2020届一轮复习人教版必修四Unit2Working the land单元作业 一 Warming Up & Reading — Prereading Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Maria (1718－1799) was a famous Italian mathematician. She was described in a book as follows：“Maria was a child prodigy (神童), but was also shy.”‎ She stayed at home, teaching the younger children and following her own studies. When her mother died after giving birth to twentyone children, Maria took over the running of the household. At the age of twenty she started a tenyear project, a book bringing together the work on calculus (微积分学) of Leibnitz and Newton titled Analytic Institutions. Sometimes she would have trouble with a problem, but her mind went on working even in her sleep; she would sleepwalk to her study and back to bed. In the morning, she would find the answer to the problem waiting on her desk. Her book made her famous; she was living proof of what she had argued at nine years old that women had a right to study science. But Maria had other interests in her life apart from mathematics. She had always worked with the poor people in her area, and she had asked her father for separate rooms and turned them into a private hospital. She worked at the hospital (and another) until she died at the age of eightyone. Maria wrote an important book on mathematics, as well as another unpublished book. She ran a household of over twenty people, and she worked for people who had not had her luck and opportunities. Each one of these things was remarkable, but she did them all.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇人物传记。主要介绍了意大利著名数学家Maria的成功经历和她为一些穷人做出的贡献。‎ ‎1．We know from the text that Maria ________.‎ A．was a maths teacher when she was young B．lived a rich life in her childhood C．was born in a large family D．was too shy to teach others 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知她妈妈有21个孩子，所以她家是个大家庭。‎ ‎2．It can be inferred from the text that ________.‎ A．there were some good schools for children when Maria was young B．women were not allowed to study science when Maria was a little girl C．women had equal rights to learn anything as boys did D．Maria had the ability to make enough money to bring up her brothers and sisters when her mother died 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“... she was living proof of what she had argued at nine years old that women had a right to study science.”可知，当时是不允许妇女学科学的。‎ ‎3．According to the text, Maria was so devoted to maths that she ________.‎ A．forgot everything when she was studying B．spent over ten years writing her most famous book C．never slept while doing researches D．would go on with her study in her dream 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二段第四、五句可知，她对工作执着到睡觉时也会梦游进书房工作。‎ ‎4．We know from the text that Maria was also a ______ woman.‎ A．kindhearted　　　　　　　　 B．beautiful C．wellborn D．rich 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据文章后半部分的描述可知，她为别人做了很多事，说明她不仅是一位伟大的数学家，还是一个“热心的、善良的”人。‎ B Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani student and education activist who began speaking out for girls' education at the age of 11.

It depends on what's found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.‎ ‎“If you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldn't be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”‎ If it's a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours.

From classical to heavy metal, music of all sorts can help ease tension. Pick a song, kick back, and tune out.‎ Four: Take a Walk.‎ Plenty of research has shown how bad sitting all day can be for your productivity and your overall health, but it also turns out a lunchtime stroll may be even more beneficial than it's thought previously. __4__ It's just another reason to keep flats in your desk drawer.‎ Five: Take Vitamins.‎ When we are under great pressure, we tend to desire sugary and fatty foods.

In one hand, you're holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith apple. In your other hand, you have one that's been organically grown. Both apples are firm, shiny and green. Both provide vitamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.‎ The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favorite. But the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”. Does that mean it's better? Safer? More nutritious? Become a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket. Several differences between organic and nonorganic foods exist. The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.‎ Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming：‎ Conventional farmers Organic farmers Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth. Apply natural fertilizers to feed soil and plants.‎ Apply insecticide to reduce pests and disease. Use beneficial insects and birds to reduce pests and disease.‎ Give animals antibiotics, growth hormones and medications to prevent disease and promote growth. Give animals organic foods and allow them access to the outdoors. Use preventive measures — such as a balanced diet and clean housing — to help minimize disease.‎ ‎*Organic or not Check the label The U．S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than ＄5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt (免除) from this certification.‎ If a food bears a USDA Organic label, it means it's produced and processed according to the USDA standards.
