A
It's pretty much common knowledge that Easter is a Christian celebration of Christ's rising.Where did the colored eggs, cute little bunnies, baby chicks, leg of lamb dinners，and lilies come from?They are all symbols of rebirth and the lamb was a traditional religious sacrifice(祭品).
Easter falls in the spring, the yearly time of rebirth，when the earth makes good itself after a long，cold winter.The word Easter comes to us from the Norsemen's Eostur, Eastar，Ostara, and Ostar, and the goddess Eostre, all of which involve the season of the growing sun and new birth.The Easter Bunny arose originally as a symbol of fertility (多產(chǎn)), due to the rapid reproduction habits of the hare and rabbit.
The ancient Egyptians, Persians, Phoenicians, and Hindus all believed the world began with a large egg，and thus the egg as a symbol of new life has been a long time.
The details may be different, but most cultures around the world use the egg as a symbol of new life and rebirth.A system of signs in the household accounts of Edward I of England showed an expense of eighteen pence for 450 eggs to be goldleafed and colored for Easter gifts.The first book to mention Easter eggs by name was written five hundred years ago.Yet，a North African tribe that had become Christian much earlier in time had a custom of coloring eggs at Easter.Long hard winters often meant little food，and a fresh egg for Easter was quite a prize.Later，Christians give up eating meat during the Lenten season before Easter.Easter was the first chance to enjoy eggs and meat after the_long_abstinence.
Some European children go from house to house begging for Easter eggs, much like Halloween trickortreaters.Called paceegging, it comes from the old word for Easter, Pasch.Many old cultures also considered the egg to be great healing powers.It is interesting to note that eggs play almost no part in the Easter celebrations of Mexico, South America, and Native American Indian cultures.Eggrolling contests are a symbolic practice of the rolling away of the stone from Christ's tomb.The decoration of small leafbarren branches as Easter egg trees has become a popular custom in the United States since the 1990s.

It was harvest time, and several farm hands were working for an hour.But they were not common laborers(勞工).They were students who had just graduated from colleges.Mr.KraussMalett said he became interested in farming after working in a restaurant and seeing how much food was wasted.They had been in the fields at Hearty Roots Community Farm in the Hudson Valley since 7 a.m.They all said they could not imagine doing any other job.“Farming attracts me, and probably other people, because it's simple work outdoors，” Mr.Bobman said.“It doesn't feel like you're a part of an oppressive (壓抑的) company.”
For decades, the number of farmers has been decreasing, and farming has often been seen as a backbreaking (辛苦的)job.But the recent research showed a 4 % increase in the number of farms, the first increase since 1920, and some college graduates are joining in the return to the land.
Jordan Schmidt, a manager at Hearty Roots Community Farm, studied environmental science at Wesleyan.Ms.Schmidt did not have so much as a garden growing up, but in college, she worked at a studentrun farm and fell in love with agriculture(農(nóng)業(yè)).So she gave up her scientific research and moved onto a farm in Pennsylvania after graduating.This is her third season at Hearty Roots Community Farm.
“Most people who work for me are here for one season and then move onto other farms, so that's actually the biggest challenge，” said Ben Shute, who owns Hearty Roots Community Farm with his wife, Lindsey.“Every year we are busy training new people.But it is worth having such people.A lot of young people want to farm for themselves, so they are motivated(有積極性的)to learn quickly.”
On the East End of Long Island, Sean Frazier and other four people who are recent college graduates in their mid20s, work on Quail Hillfarm in Amagansett and have become close friends.Asked if he felt he was missing out on (失去……機(jī)會(huì)) the city lifestyle, Mr.Frazier replied, “I much more feel the opposite.It would just really bother me to feel like I was inside all day and I was just missing out on everything that happened.”
40.When working in the fields, the college graduates
______.
A.were lowpaid
B.felt free from pressure
C.became more interested in farming
D.thought their hard work was wasted
41.By mentioning college graduates in the return to the land, the author wants to tell us ________.
A.agriculture has been paid more attention to
B.it is much easier to make a living on a farm
C.more farmers don't like to do farm work
D.something is wrong with American agriculture
42.Why did Jordan Schmidt give up her scientific research?
A.Because she wanted to be a farm manager.
B.Because she moved onto a farm after graduating.
C.Because she wanted to study environmental science.
D.Because she fell in love with agriculture on a studentrun farm.
43.From what Mr.Shute said, we can infer that ________.
A.he was fond of training new college graduates
B.college graduates shouldn't often move onto other
farms
C.he spoke highly of college graduates working on his farm
D.it was a great challenge for college graduates to do farm work
C
The city of Pompeii was once part of the largest and most powerful empire the world had ever seen.Behind this city was Vesuvius, a mountain that had been formed by an old volcano.It sometimes trembled as underground gases caused earth tremors(地震)which shook buildings.The people were sometimes alarmed, but never thought there was any real danger in being close to the volcano.
Then one day in the year 79, many dogs and farm animals began to act strangely.More tremors began.Unusual rumbling noises came from higher up the mountain until there was a loud explosion.The top of the volcano blew off-showering the city with smoke, hot stones and ashes.A tongue of fire appeared out of the crater(火山口) which had now formed at the peak(頂峰).
The hot air and debris (碎片) continued to rain down.At first the people locked their doors and windows, hoping that this would only last a short while.They went into cellars (地下室)and underground passages to avoid the poisonous gases that filtered through cracks and openings.But, soon they were choking to death as they gasped for fresh air.Some tried to escape by running away, but the streets became blocked with loaded carts that had overturned, and piles of dead and dying people.
In a short while all the houses were totally covered by the debris which piled up over the rooftops.The city lay buried.The volcano subsided and the people gradually forgot about the city and those who lay buried under the ashes.Over the years, winds carried soil over the top and gradually trees and grass grew over where all the streets and buildings lay meters below.The people farmed the land around Vesuvius, which remained dormant(休眠)for hundreds of years.
It was not until around 1860 that archaeologists, interested in finding the remains of the buried city Pompeii, started digging.It has taken many years for most of the city to be uncovered.Today you can walk along the paved(鋪設(shè)好的) streets and see the marks made by wheels of chariots and carts.You can enter many of the houses and shops which are well preserved.There is a museum in which all kinds of possessions are housed.They include tools, cooking utensils (器具), furniture and clothing.
44.Which was the sign of the coming volcano in Pompeii?
A.The forming of the crater.
B.The strange action of animals.
C.Loud noise from under the ground.
D.The falling of hot stones and ashes.
45.People went into their cellars because ________.
A.they could run away from there
B.no poisonous gases could enter there
C.they thought the explosion wouldn't last long
D.other places were blocked by the hot stone and ashes
46.The underlined word “subsided” in the fourth paragraph means ________.
A.disappeared suddenly after explosion

When people talk about a “slow boat to China”， they usually mean that something is taking a very long time.The term is often used in reference to movements of people or goods, as in “my package is taking so long to arrive;it must be on a slow boat to China”.This idiom is most commonly used in American English.
The origins of the term appear to lie in the game of poker, The player who lost at a slow and steady pace was often referred to as a “slow boat to China”.Therefore the patient player achieved his winnings slowly and steadily.In a way the loser's plight (困境) was beneficial for the winning poker player.
In 1948, Frank Loesser used the idiom in a slightly different way in his song “On a Slow Boat to China”.He used it in a romantic sense, referring to the idea of being so in love with someone that you would want to take the person on a slow boat to China to spend as much time with him or her as possible.Both of these meanings referred to the fact that shipping something to China took a long time, and it would have taken even longer to cross the Pacific on a slow boat.
People continue to use this term to refer to long trips, or to suggest that they have a great deal of time to do something.For example, one might say，“We can sit and talk as long as you like, because we might as well be on a slow boat to China.” As a matter of fact, the term isn't used as much in the romantic sense anymore, because the famous song has fallen out of favor.
47.Which of the following statements about “on a slow boat to China” is NOT true?
A.It's an idiom.
B.It's the name of a song.
C.It is commonly used in British English.

Sometimes you find yourself unable to sleep in a hotel.Therefore, in order to get a full night's rest in a bed unfamiliar to you, firstly, try to reduce as much noise as you can.Find out the location of the possible hotel you want to stay at and see if it is near possible noise sources(來(lái)源), such as highways or airports.Before being given a room, ask if there are any quiet rooms.These rooms are located on upper floors and away from elevators.Make sure the room is at least two or three floors above the dining rooms.Another idea is to ask for rooms located in the back of the building，away from parking lots.
While finding the right room is important, it's also helpful to pack a few key items to make your hotel stay as pleasurable as possible.Pack some earplugs(耳塞)，which can prevent noise entering your ears.Packing a sleep mask is also a good idea because it will prevent any annoying light entering the room, which is necessary if your room doesn't have curtains.If possible, bring some sheets, pillowcases, or blankets from your home.You'll find that your body is used to the material, which can help you sleep faster.
Before you decide to go to bed, there are some further steps you can take to prepare yourself.Don't eat before sleeping.You can also try having a small cup of tea or a glass of wine.Ask the receptionist not to put any call through to your room, making sure that you will not be woken up in the middle of the night.Remember to adjust (調(diào)節(jié)) the temperature in the room to your liking.You can also take a warm bath, which lowers body temperature enough to help make sleeping easier.
If you're a person who depends on background noise to sleep in hotels, there are plenty of steps you can try.You can put on background music and wear headphones.Also you can try putting the television on low, but make sure it will not annoy your neighbors.
Once you're in bed，clear your thoughts.If you have ideas and feelings controlling your mind，you'll find that it will be difficult to concentrate on sleeping.Look for ways to control your breathing and find a comfortable position (位置)on the bed.While sleeping in a new room might be scary at first, following these steps will help you make sure that your nights in hotels will be quite peaceful.

牛津版高一英語(yǔ)必修3Unit 3練習(xí)試題答案
1.D 考查冠詞。throughout history“貫穿整個(gè)歷史”，history前不加冠詞;sb.become+職業(yè)/身份等“……成為……”，表示獨(dú)一無(wú)二的職位的名詞在作表語(yǔ)時(shí)，前面不加冠詞。
2.B 考查動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。consist of“由……組成，由……構(gòu)成”，不用于被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài)中;be made up of“由……構(gòu)成/組成”;be made of“由……制成”。故選項(xiàng)B正確。
3.D 表示前面的否定情況也適用于后者時(shí)常用“Neither/Nor+be動(dòng)詞/助動(dòng)詞/情態(tài)動(dòng)詞+另一主語(yǔ)”，故D項(xiàng)切題。
4.A 句意：——你的報(bào)告完成了嗎?——沒(méi)有，再過(guò)十分鐘才能完成。another ten minutes表示“還需要10分鐘”，可用ten more minutes替換。
5.A 句意：——你覺(jué)得明天開會(huì)吉姆會(huì)遲到嗎?——毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，他就愛(ài)遲到。no doubt毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，符合句意。not really并非如此，how come怎么可能，no way不可能。
6.A 句意：——你有衣服要洗嗎?我?guī)湍阆础?mdash;—不用了，謝謝，我要自己洗。have sth.to do有某事要做(do所表示的動(dòng)作由主語(yǔ)發(fā)出)，have sth.to be done有某事要做(do所表示的動(dòng)作不是主語(yǔ)發(fā)出的)，此處you不是wash這一動(dòng)作的執(zhí)行者，故不定式用被動(dòng)式，選A。
7.D 句意：不要被承諾讓你迅速減肥的產(chǎn)品給騙了。take off起飛，迅速流行;take out帶……出去;take away帶走;take in欺騙。D項(xiàng)符合句意。
8.D 考查非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。本題用還原法做。定語(yǔ)從句先行詞為plan，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為see，關(guān)系代詞代替the plan在從句中作賓語(yǔ)，the plan與carry out之間為動(dòng)賓關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用過(guò)去分詞作賓補(bǔ)，構(gòu)成see sth.done結(jié)構(gòu)。
9.D 動(dòng)詞詞義辨析。句意：我們本來(lái)打算去成都看一個(gè)朋友，但那天發(fā)生的強(qiáng)烈地震把我們的計(jì)劃全毀掉了。ruin指外界原因使事物受到破壞，弄糟。
10.A 考查“make+賓語(yǔ)+賓補(bǔ)”結(jié)構(gòu)，結(jié)合句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知此處應(yīng)用interested(感興趣的)作賓補(bǔ)。
11.C as well as連接的兩個(gè)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與as well as之前的名詞在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致，排除B、D。因every Sunday afternoon in winter暗示此處表示經(jīng)常性、習(xí)慣性的動(dòng)作，因此應(yīng)用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)。故選C。
12.D 句意：——你昨晚去看演出了嗎?——是的，這個(gè)地區(qū)的每個(gè)女孩和每個(gè)男孩都被邀請(qǐng)了。every boy and girl屬于“every+可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)+and+(every+)可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)”結(jié)構(gòu)，該結(jié)構(gòu)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)要用單數(shù)形式，排除A、B;此處說(shuō)的是過(guò)去的一般情況，所以用一般過(guò)去時(shí)。
13.B 考查主謂一致的“就近一致”原則。either...or...連接的名詞或代詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要與or后面的名詞或代詞在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致，one of your students表示單數(shù)概念，故本題選B。
14.C with的復(fù)合結(jié)構(gòu)中，賓語(yǔ)補(bǔ)足語(yǔ)的非謂語(yǔ)形式根據(jù)賓語(yǔ)決定，這里date和fix是被動(dòng)關(guān)系，因此用過(guò)去分詞。
15.A 句意：——你對(duì)求職面試很有信心，對(duì)嗎?——當(dāng)然了，我做好了全面準(zhǔn)備并且認(rèn)為自己準(zhǔn)備好了他們需要的一切。A項(xiàng)“當(dāng)然”;B項(xiàng)“很難說(shuō)”;C項(xiàng)“希望如此”;D項(xiàng)“或許”。
