A
Have you dreamed of building your own machine? Do you wish you could invent something new? Here we look at a few British inventions of recent times.
Adaptive glasses
Do you wear glasses? If so，can you imagine life without them? In 1985，Joshua Silver，a professor at Oxford University，asked himself，“Can I invent a pair of glasses that could be changed by the wearer？”He designed two plastic lenses(透镜) that are filled with a special liquid.Using syringes(注射器) you change the liquid between the lenses until you can see clearly.The glasses are not beautiful but they are easy to use and cheap to make.
The wind­up radio
When you switch your TV on tonight，think about all those people without electricity.Thinking about this，Trevor Baylis came up with the idea of designing a radio that could be powered by hand.In common with Joshua Silver he wanted his invention to be cheap and easy to use.He wanted even the poorest people in developing countries，who don't have electricity and cannot afford batteries，to use it.The radio has a generator(发电机) which is powered by turning a handle.In 1996 it won the BBC Design Award for Best Product and Best Design.
The Dyson vacuum(真空) cleaner
In many homes around the world you can see a cleaner that looks like a spaceship.This is the Dyson vacuum cleaner which uses something called “cyclonic，separation” to separate the dirt.You do not need a bag for your cleaner and it does not get blocked so it is very practical.The idea came to Sir James Dyson after he kept having problems with his vacuum cleaner.He decided he could design a better one and in 1993 he opened his own factory.The Dyson is now one of the bestselling cleaners in the UK and Dyson is believed to have earned over a billion pounds.
The Zapata Flyboard
Have you ever dreamed of zooming through the water and leaping in the air like a dolphin? Now you can thanks to a flyboard，built by water sports enthusiast Frank Zapata.With it you can dive back in the water and out again.It's possible to jump to incredible heights out of the water—over 30 feet.The basic flyboard model comes in at ￡4，200.
So keep dreaming and inventing.One day you might get it right.
16．Which might be the best title for the passage?
A．Greatest Inventions B．Scientists' Stories
C．Magic Glasses D．Beautiful Minds

19．The Dyson vacuum cleaner was invented with the purpose of ________．

B
Commuters(上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to￡350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged ￡ 350 a year for each space in two years.
Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff－meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport，but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers(金库)．
Some ten million Britons drive to work each day，and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total ￡ 3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.
Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city，where 40，000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces，which get vehicles off the streets，” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock，which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government's income than reducing traffic.”
However，Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham.The council says the tax will raise as much as ￡100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.
Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.
But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”
20．Supporters argue that the scheme ________．
A．can help improve the parking conditions for the staff
B．should be applied to all commuters driving to work
C．is certain to be carried out despite the objections
D．will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport
21．According to the objectors，the scheme is unfair for ________．
A．the firms with parking lots
B．the workforce without cars
C．the employees parking their cars on the streets
D．the staff driving to work in the daytime
22．Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers's attitude towards the scheme?
A．Neutral. B．Negative.
C．Understanding. D．Positive.
23．It can he inferred from the passage that ________．
A．many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staff
B．the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvement
C．the author believes Britons will benefit from the scheme
D．those firms with more commuters will leave Nottingham
Ⅲ.短文填词

So some graduates are 26.w________ to do a certain job without 27.________ paid to gain working experience, while some companies think that it 28.g________ against the labor law.

参考答案
课时作业(三十九)
Ⅰ.1.A　考查动词辨析。compromise 折中，互让，妥协。句意：我们需要与他们就房子的价格做一下折中。
2．D　考查动词短语辨析。show off 炫耀。show up 出席；show out 领某人出去；show in 领某人进去。
3．B　考查动词用法。hesitate需要接不定式作宾语。
4．A　考查动词辨析。condemn尤其指对不道义的事情进行“谴责”；scold指“训斥”；criticize指对某人的过失“批评，指责或评论”；blame指对犯错误和做不好事情的人进行指责，让其负责。恐怖袭击应该受到“谴责”，故选A。
5．D　考查动词辨析。overlook指因匆忙而疏忽或视而不见，或没注意到。房子被树环绕，因此根本看不到。
6．B　考查非谓语动词的用法。下句是省略回答，补充完整为：Being left alone to face a troublesome milk case has made him so upset recently.所以下句的省略回答仅是what所指内容，充当主语，所以用动名词作主语(注意被动关系)。
7．B　考查非谓语动词。分析题干可知，exhibit和句子主语The Thinker之间是动宾关系，因此用过去分词。when exhibited是when it was exhibited的省略句。A项表示主动含义；C项作谓语动词，而此处不能用谓语动词；D项表示正在发生的动作，不合题意。
8．A　考查名词辨析。句意：这位百万富翁去世了，留给他的孩子们一大笔财产。a large fortune庞大的财富。money不能和a large 搭配。
9．A　考查动词词义辨析。句意：政府对城区的空气质量按1到5的等级进行分类：优；良；轻微污染；差；危险。classify“分类”；arrange“安排”；distribute“分配”；divide“划分；分开”。A项符合题意。
10．C　考查介词短语辨析。in terms of依据；按照。句意：一个政府的成功，既需要根据经济的发展也需要以人们的幸福来衡量。
11．D　考查状语从句。句意：一辆小汽车对三口之家来说足够了，除非你需要更多的空间存放行李。once引导条件状语从句，意为“一旦”；in case意为“万一；以防”；if意为“如果”；unless意为“除非”。故D项符合题意。
12．C　考查动词短语。pass sb./oneself off as“(某人/自己)冒充，假扮”。答句句意：因为他冒充主席，并且造成了巨大的损失。pass away“死亡”；pass down“传下去”；pass on“传递”。
13．C　考查交际用语。答句句意：振作起来！还会有很多其他的机会的。cheer up“振作起来”，符合语意。well done “做得很好”；what a pity“真遗憾”；all right“好的”。
14．C　考查非谓语。句意：小鸟被关在笼子里半天了，饿极了。由句意可知for half a day作时间状语，并且和后面的动作became具有明显的先后顺序，故用分词完成式来作状语。
15．C　考查固定短语be on good terms with…意为“与……关系好”。句意：我同玛莉的关系很好，她是我的好朋友。
