Unit 2 单元测试题1

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

Competition in the Olympics should be between athletes who use their own strength (力量) or speed. If some athletes don't follow the rules, it ruins the fun for everyone connected with the game. It also gives an extremely unfair advantage to the athlete using the drug.

— Jim from Atlanta Drug use among top athletes has long been a problem. Without drug testing, the Olympics would be about who uses the most drugs, not who trains the hardest and has the most athletic skills. Also drugs hurt people and they could even kill people.

— David from Houston Why should athletes be allowed to compete when it's not really them who are actually competing? It's the drugs that do all the work. Athletes who use drugs are like runners with skates. It's cheating and should not be allowed. It's unfair to other competitors who don't use drugs.

—Bruce from Chicago Most sports athletes are held to a standard of being drug free. Olympians should not be held any differently. They take part in highly competitive sports for their country and win medals for it. Testing the athletes for drugs must be done in every country and every sport. No drug testing would be unfair to people who don't use drugs.

— Sam from Los Angeles Although popular opinion is against athletes' using drugs, I believe they do help make the Olympic sports more wonderful. I enjoy seeing human beings achieving things that couldn't be done with normal conditioning. I enjoy seeing stronger, faster and longer performances with the help of drugs.

— Jack from New York

In 1996, John Jones made an unusual discovery. He had just enlarged a piece of paper money for a friend — a Confederate bank note, money issued (发行) by banks in Southern States of America during the Civil War. When he was face to face with the picture, he couldn't believe his eyes: slaves happily picking cotton in their master's fields.

Jones grew up in South Carolina. He had heard painful stories of slavery from his great-grandmother. The picture on the money did not match the history of African

American slaves that he'd heard all his life. “I had never seen that type of picture on money before,” he said.

Jones wondered why slaves looked so happy. He started doing research.

Searching for and finding the answers to his questions changed his life. During two years' search, Jones found more than 120 different bills. He discovered that the bills had several things in common. They showed slaves working in jobs related to farming. Many of them showed healthy and smiling slaves at work. None of the bills showed the hardships of slavery.

Jones wanted to share what he had learned. “I wanted other people to see what I had seen,” he said. He decided to make lar ge paintings of the pictures on the money. After three years of work, Jones had painted more than 80 slavery scenes (场景). He paired each painting with the money on which the picture appeared. “The Color of Money” — an exhibit (展览) of his work — has toured the country.

Jones' paintings tell an important story about the South 150 years ago. He likes to repeat the saying “The story is on the money.” In this case, the saying happens to be true.

25. How did Jones feel when he saw the picture on the money?

A. Angry.

B. Painful.

C. Excited.

D. Surprised.

26. Why did Jones do research on the money?

A. He had never heard of Confederate money.

B. He wanted to learn about American history through it.

C. It showed slaves quite different from those in his mind.

D. His great-grandmother told him some unusual stories about it.

27. What did Jones find?

A. About 120 different bills were issued during the Civil War.

B. The difficulty of slaves was never shown on the bills.

C. Slaves lived a harder life than he thought.

D. Slaves worked long hours on farms.

28. What's the best title for the text?

A. Confederate Money

B. Money Tells a Story

C. African American Slaves

D. John Jones Changes America

C

A team of middle schoolers from North Dakota has turned a prize-winning idea into reality with their Recycling Bin app (废物回收箱应用软件). The app encourages recycling by providing users with a searchable map of nearby recycling centers.

The group of nine sixth graders from STEM Center Middle School, in West Fargo, North Dakota, came up with the idea as part of a school program for the Verizon Innovative App Challenge. The competition was designed by the Verizon Foundation to increase students' interest in science, technology, engineering, and math, or STEM. It asks students to think of an app that could solve (解决) a problem in their school. The students came up with the Recycling Bin when they saw a need for more recycling in their school for a long time. “We thought that this would really help a lot of people,” Jaden Hilkemann, 12, said.

They kept their idea simple so that anyone could use it. The middle schoolers were surprised when they were among the ten national winning teams. “I didn't think our app was this good!” Joram Stith, 12, said. “We were the youngest winning group.”

With the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab, they turned their idea into an app ready for download. “We had groups of two or three people each developing one part of the app,” Hunter Koehmstedt, 12, said. “We worked together and it was great.” Jacob Pfeifer, 12, added that they le arned a lot working together. “At first, we all didn't agree on exactly what we wanted it to do, but in the end we all came to an agreement,” he said.

In June, the free Recycling Bin app became available for download. “I was very excited when it went up on the app store,” Seralyn Blake, 12, said. “A lot of my family members downloaded the app. It was pretty cool.”

29. What do we know about the Verizon Innovative App Challenge?

A. It was held by STEM Center Middle School.

B. It is a competition for middle school students.

C. It was designed to help solve environmental problems.

D. It encourages students to develop an interest in STEM.

30. The idea for the Recycling Bin _____.

A. proved to be highly useful

B. came into being quite by chance

C. came from a 12-year-old in West Fargo

D. resulted from the bad recycling situation in North Dakota

31. What did the group of nine sixth graders think of their app?

A. It was popular among middle school students.

B. Its winning was beyond their expectations.

C. It was the simplest of the winning apps.

D. It was good enough to win.

32. While turning their idea into reality, the prize-winning members _____.

A. learned a lot from each other

B. could hardly reach an agreement

C. had no idea how to divide the work

D. downloaded an app for further research

Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs .

By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

第一单元文化遗产 阅读一 寻找琥珀 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。 事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁士下一任国王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接待处。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术家加了跟多的细节在里面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近600只蜡烛在屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一的琥珀屋现在丢失了。 在1941年9月，纳粹军队在圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹去到避暑地方之前，俄国人民能够从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天内100000多片琥珀被放进27个木箱里。这些箱子无疑会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马仍然是个迷。 最近，俄国和德国人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通过研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他们制造了一座新的琥珀屋像旧的那座一样。在2003年它被圣彼得堡的人民用来庆祝这座城市的300岁生日。 阅读二 一个事实还是一个观点 神马是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。 那么神马是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。 第二单元奥林匹克运动会 阅读一 一个采访 大约2000年前的一个希腊作者帕萨尼亚斯(P)，在2007年3月18日踏上了一段魔幻的旅程去查明关于现代的奥林匹克运动会。他正在采访一个2008年奥林匹克运动会志愿者李岩(L)。 P:我是帕萨尼亚斯。我住在你们所说的“古希腊”而且在很久之前我常常写以一些关于奥林匹克运动会的事情。我来到你的时代是为了解关于现代奥林匹克运动会因为我知道2004年奥林匹克运动会会在我家乡举办。我可以问你一些关于现代奥林匹克运动会的问题么？

2.（课文翻译）Unit 1寻找琥珀屋 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有这个名字，是因为造这间房子用了好几吨的琥珀。选出来的琥珀色彩艳丽，呈现蜂蜜一样的黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的别致的建筑式样。它也是用金银珠宝装饰起来的珍品。一批国家最优秀的艺术家用了大约十年的时间才把它完成。 事实上，这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿设计（制作）的。然而，下一位普鲁士国王，腓特烈·威廉一世，这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠，沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约四米，被用作招待重要来宾的小型会客室。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她叫她的工匠在原来设计的基础上增添了更多精细的装饰。1770年，这间琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。将近600支蜡烛照亮了这个房间，里面的镜子和图画就像金子一样闪闪发光，可悲的是，尽管琥珀屋被认为是世界上的一大奇迹之一，可是现在它却消失了。 1941年9月，纳粹德国的军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前，俄罗斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件艺术饰品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身却被一些纳粹分子偷偷地运走了。在不到两天的时间里，10万个部件装进了27个木箱。毫无疑问，这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡，它是当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。从那以后，琥珀屋的去处便成了一个谜。 近来，俄罗斯人和德国人已经在夏宫建起了一个新的琥珀屋，通过研究琥珀屋原来的照片，他们建造的新琥珀屋样子和旧的看起来非常像。2003年，圣彼得堡人民就用它来庆祝该市建成300周年。 3.事实还是看法？ 什么是事实呢？是不是人们所相信的就是事实呢？不是。事实是可以证实的信息。举例来说，中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都多，这是可以得到证实的，这就是事实。 那么，什么是看法呢？看法是人们相信是真实的但是未经证实。因此在审判中， 看法不是强有力的证据。举例来说，如果你 说：“猫作为宠物比狗好。”这就是看法， 这个看法可能是正确的，但是它难以被证 实。有些人可能不同意这种看法，但是他们 也不能证明他们是正确的。 在审判中，法官必须断定哪些证人可以相 信，哪些证人不能相信。法官并不考虑证人 的长相如何，也不考虑这个人住在哪里，在 哪儿工作。他（她）关心的只是目击者是否 提供了真实的信息，这些信息必须是事实而 不是个人观点或看法。这种信息就叫做证 据。 2.（课文翻译）Unit 2采访 帕萨尼亚斯是大约2000年前的一位希腊 作家，他于2007年3月18日作了一次魔幻 旅行，来打听当代奥林匹克运动会的情况。 现在他正在采访一位2008年奥林匹克运动 会的志愿者李燕。 帕：我叫帕萨尼亚斯。我生活在你们所说的 “古希腊”。我曾经写过很久以前奥林匹克 运动会的情况。现在我来到你们这个时代， 想了解有关当代奥运会的情况，因为我知道 2004年奥运会是在我的祖国举行的。我可 以问你几个有关现代奥林匹克运动会的问 题吗？ 李：天哪！你真的来自那么久远的年代？当 然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道什么 呢？ 帕：你们的奥运会多久举行一次？ 李：每四年一次。运动会有两种：夏季奥运 会和冬季奥运会。这两种运动会都是四年举 行一次。冬季奥运会总是在夏季奥运会的前 两年举行。只有达到他们各自项目统一标准 的运动员才会被接受参加奥运会。选手可以 来自全世界任何一个地方。 帕：冬季奥运会？冬天运动员怎么可能赛跑 啊？又怎么可能赛马呢？ 李：噢，不！冬奥会并不包括跑步和骑马比 赛，但是却有像滑冰和滑雪这类需要冰雪的 比赛项目，所以才叫它冬季奥运会。跑步、 游泳、划船和一些团队项目是在夏季运动会 上进行。 帕：我明白了。你原来说邀请来的运动员来 自世界各地。你指的是希腊世界？我们希腊 各个城市之间曾经为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞 争。别的国家不能参加，奴隶和妇女也不能 参加。 李：现在只要他们的运动员达到了参赛的标 准，任何国家都能参赛。总共有250多个运 动项目，每个项目都有自己的标准。妇女不 仅允许参加，而且她们还在体操、竞技和团 队等比赛项目中起着非常重要的作用…… 帕：请等一下！所有这么多项目，所有这么 多国家，甚至妇女也都参加！所有这些参赛 的人住在哪里呢？ 李：每届奥运会都有一个特殊的村庄（奥运 村）供参赛的人住，一个主要的接待大楼， 好几个供比赛用的体育场，还有一个室内体 育馆。 帕：那听起来要花很多钱吧。会有人想承办 奥运会吗？ 李：事实上，每个国家都想抓住这个机会。 被选中不仅要承担巨大的责任同时也享有 极大的荣誉。国与国之间争取奥运会承办权 的竞争就跟争夺奥运奖牌一样的激烈。2008 年的奥运会将在中国举行，你知道吗？ 帕：是的，听说过，你一定很自豪。 李：当然。那么2012年的奥运会将在伦敦 举行。他们现在已开始筹划。在伦敦的东部 将为运动员建立一个新的奥运村和所有的 运动场。当然还会设计新的奖牌…… 帕：你刚才说奖牌是吗？就连橄榄枝花环也 被取代了！天哪，你们也为奖金而竞赛吗？ 李：不，不是的。仍然是为了能够跑得更快， 跳得更高，掷得更远。你知道，奥运会的口 号就是“更快，更高，更强”。 帕：这是个好消息。很有趣！占用了你的时 间，非常感谢。 3.（课文翻译）阿特兰大的故事 特兰大是一位希腊公主。她长得很美， 跑得比希腊的任何男人都快，但是她却不被 允许在奥运会上参加比赛为自己赢得荣誉。 她因此非常生气，就跟她的父亲说，她不会 嫁给任何跑不过她的男人的。她的父亲说她 必须结婚，于是亚特兰大就和她的父亲达成 了一个协议。她对父亲说：“我有我的条件。 如果有人说想娶我，我就跟他赛跑。如果他 跑得不如我快，他就要被杀掉，任何人不得 求饶。” 许多国王和王子想要娶阿特兰大。但是当听 到她规定的条件时，他们知道是没有希望 的，因此许多人就闷闷不乐地回家了，但是 也有一些人留下来赛跑。有位叫希波墨涅斯 的人，听到亚特兰大的条件，大为吃惊。他 想：“为什么这些人那么愚蠢呢？为什么他 们跑不过这个公主就让别人把自己杀掉 呢？”后来，当希波墨涅斯看到亚特兰大从 屋子里出来跑步时，他改变了主意。他说： “我要娶亚特兰大，否则就去死。” 比赛开始了，虽然那些男人跑得很快，可是 亚特兰大跑得更快。希波墨涅斯想：“我怎 样才能跑得像亚特兰大一样快呢？”他去 向希腊爱情女神求助。女神答应帮助他，并 且给了他三个金苹果。她说：“当亚特兰大 跑过你的时候，你就把一个苹果扔在她前 面。当她停下来去捡苹果时，你就可以继续 向前跑而获胜。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果去见 国王。他说：“我要娶亚特兰大。”国王很忧伤，因 为又要看到一个人去送死了，但是希波墨涅斯说： “我要娶她，要不，我就去死。”于是比赛开始了。 2.（课文翻译）Unit 3我是谁？ 经过一段时间我已经被改变了很多。1642年我在法 国诞生时是一台计算机器。尽管当时我还年轻，但是 我能简化一些复杂的数学题。我发育缓慢，差不多到 了两百年之后，查尔斯·巴比奇才把我制成了一台分 析机。在操作员用穿卡孔为我设计程序后，我能够进 行逻辑“思考”，并且能够比任何人更快地算出答 案。那时这被当作是一次技术革命，也是我“人工智 能”的开始。在1936年，我真正的父亲艾伦·图灵 写了一本书，讲述了怎样使我成为一台“通用机器” 来解决任何数学难题。从那时起，我在体积和脑容量 方面迅速成长。到二十世纪四十年代，我已经长得像 一间屋子那么大，我不知道是否还会长得更大。但是， 这个现实也使得我的设计者很担心。随着时间的推 移，我被弄得越来越小。自二十世纪七十年代以来， 我一直被用在办公室和家庭里，先是用作个人电脑， 后来又被做成便携式。 这些变化只有随着我的存储能力的不断提高才成为 可能。最初是被存储到电子管中，以后是晶体管上， 后来是非常小的芯片上。因此，我已经完全改变了我 的形状。随着我的年龄越来越大，我也变得越来越小。 随着时间的推移，我的记忆能力发展得如此之快，就 像一头大象一样，从来不会忘记告诉我的任何事情！ 我的存储容量变得如此巨大，连我自己都不能相信！ 但是我总是孤孤单单地站在那里，直到二十世纪六十 年代初，人们才给了我一个用网络联成的家庭。我能 够通过万维网和其他人分享我的知识。 从二十世纪七十年代起，我又被开发出了很多新的用 途。我在通讯、金融和商业领域变得非常重要。我还 被放在机器人里面，被用来制作移动手机，并且用来 帮助作医疗手术。我还被放置在航空火箭里去探测月 球和火星。不管怎样，我的目标是给人类提供高质量 得生活。现在我充满了幸福感，因为我是人类忠实的 朋友并时时给他们提供帮助。 3.（课文翻译）机器人安迪 我是安迪足球队的一个成员。每年大约有一次， 我们可以获准在一起进行一次足球赛。我同真人一样 大小。事实上我看上去也很像人。我在球队中是前锋， 所以我需要跑得非常快。我的电脑芯片帮助我像真人 一样运动和思考。例如，当我前面没人防守有机会射 一个好球的时候，我已经学会了用计算机语言向队友 示意把球传给我。 我第一次足球比赛是几年前在日本的名古屋。去年， 我们队去了美国华盛顿州的西雅图比赛，获得了第二 名。我个人认为得冠军的那个队作弊了。他们恰好在 比赛前研制了一种新程序。因此我们也需要鼓励我们 的程序编制员来提高我们的智能。我们决心创造一个 更好的系统。从某种程度上看，我们的程序员就像是 我们的教练。她把观看人类比赛时所看到的一切可能 动作编入我们的程序，然后她把我在新情况下能用得 上的可靠动作准备好。这样，我就可以用“人工智

第一单元文化遗产阅读一寻找琥珀 普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。 事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁士下一任国 王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的 一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接待处。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术家加了跟多的细节在里面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近600只蜡烛在屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一的琥珀屋现在丢失了。 在1941年9月，纳粹军队在圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹去到避暑地方 之前，俄国人民能够从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天内100000多片琥珀被放进27个木箱里。这些箱子无疑会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马仍然是个迷。 最近，俄国和德国人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通过研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他 们制造了一座新的琥珀屋像旧的那座一样。在2003年它被圣彼得堡的人民用来庆祝这座城市的 300岁生日。 阅读二一个事实还是一个观点 神马是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。 那么神马是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。 在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。

必修二 Module 1 Zhou Kai (1) When Zhou Kai’s mother saw him heading towards the front door without a jacket on, she eyed him anxiously. “Zhou Kai, where are you going?” she asked. “To the park. I’m going to play football,” said Zhou Kai“But it’s raining! You’ll catch a bad cold,” said his mother. “No I won’t. I’ll be fine,” said Zhou Kai, as he opened the door. “Zhou Kai, you’ll get ill. You know you will. You can at least go and get your jacket.” “OK, OK.” Zhou Kai went as he was told. Zhou Kai (2) My mother has always made sure we eat very healthily, and fresh fruit and vegetables are a very important part of our diet.We live near the sea and we have fish about four times a week. We don't eat much fat or sugar.A lot of my school friends eat sweets every day but I'm lucky because I don't have a sweet-tooth学-- I'd rather eat a nice piece of fruit.And I'm not too heavy, so I never have to diet, or anything like that. I'm quite healthy I very rarely get colds, although, unusually for me, I had a bad cold and a bit of a fever last week.But that's because I was stupid enough to play football in the rain.I don't often get things like flu either. Last winter almost all my classmates got flu--- but I didn't. I think I don't get these things because I take a lot of exercise and am very fit. Two years ago I broke my arm playing football. The injury was quite painful and I couldn't move my arm for a month --- I hated that.。 So as you can see from what I've said, I'm a normal kind of person.But there's one thing I really love--- I'm crazy about football. I'm captain of the class team at school and I'm also a member of the Senior High team. Because of this, I make sure that I have a good diet, and as I've said, this isn't a problem because my mother feeds us so well.
