Unit 4 Body language .阅读理解AGiving Mary Poppinss magic umbrella some serious competition is the all hightech “Oombrella”not only can it predict the weather, its also impossible to lose. The smart umbrella syncs(同步进行) with a smartphone app, sending users updates about weather conditions 30 minutes in advance, and reminders if they happen to leave the device behind. And heres the added bonusit wont ever flip insideout.Designed by French company Wezzoo, the rainbowcolored umbrella comes in two versionsclassic and modern. The classic is31ft long with a curved handle, while the modern version is 0.8ft long with a straight handle. The company describes the device as a “portable weather station”, made of a reflective surface with built in sensors that record realtime data such as light, humidity, pressure, and temperature. The umbrella collects and processes this data as well as information from a social media community before sending out alerts about when its going to start raining.And if the user happens to accidentally forget it at home on a potentially rainy day, or leaves it in a restaurant, similar alerts will be sent out using GPS technology to make sure you dont lose it.“We wanted to make this umbrella unforgettable in terms of design, too,” explains Alexandre, of Escabo design studio. “We developed an exclusive material. It makes you feel you are holding an aurora borealis(北极光) in your hands. It has effects that are amazing with the light and always changing. It really makes the umbrella special.” The “capsule” that integrates all the technology, making the umbrella smart, is located in the handle.The umbrella is all set to hit global online and physical stores this fall. According to a company spokesperson, it will retail at 79($86), but the early bird price on Kickstarter is 59($64). For those who are rather attached to their current umbrellas, the company will also release an “Oombrella capsule” that can transform any umbrella into a smart device. Now, if only it could make us fly like Mary Poppins!语篇导读本文为说明文,介绍了一款高科技雨伞“欧姆伞”。1What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about Oombrella?AIts special design. BIts working principle.CIts functions. DIts structure.解析 C主旨大意题。第一段介绍了“欧姆伞”不但能够预测天气,而且还不会丢失。这把智能雨伞与一款智能手机应用同步,可以给用户发送半小时后的天气情况的实时更新信息,并且在用户忘带雨伞的时候还能提醒用户。此外,还有一个附加福利那就是这把雨伞永远不会外翻。由此可知,本段列举了这款智能伞的功能,故选C项。2Which of the following best shows how Oombrella works?Acollectprocessrecordpredict. Bprocessrecordcollectpredict.Crecordcollectprocesspredict. Drecordprocesscollectpredict.解析 C细节理解题。根据第二段可知,这把雨伞的反光面内置有传感器,可以记录光、湿度、气压和温度等实时信息,欧姆伞对这些信息以及来自社媒团体的信息进行收集和处理,然后在即将下雨的时候发送警报。提炼可得,该智能伞运行的流程为:记录收集处理预测,故选C项。3What can we learn from the last paragraph?AOombrella is already on sale.BEarly buyers of Oombrella will save money.CIts impossible to turn an ordinary umbrella into a smart one.DOombrella is a magic device that can make us fly.解析 B细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,该伞的零售价将为79欧元(86美元),众筹网站Kickstarter上的尝鲜价将为59欧元(64美元),所以早期的买家将会更省钱,故选B项。4Whats the purpose of the author writing the passage?ATo introduce readers a new type of umbrella.BTo show readers how to predict the weather.CTo remind readers to take an umbrella at any time.DTo persuade readers to buy the hightech umbrella.解析 A写作意图题。全文介绍智能雨伞的功能、工作程序、外观设计及其零售价格,故排除B、C两项。全文只是客观介绍,意在“科普”,而非“推销”,故选A项。BIn the digital age, copying someone elses words is easy, but getting caught copying is even easier. When Melania Trump recently spoke at the Republican convention, she used some of the same words that Michelle Obama had used at the Democratic convention in 2008.Within hours, news spread around the world with the claim that Melania Trump had plagiarized Michelle Obamas speech. Students and teachers at universities in the US and elsewhere were shocked.5_What is plagiarism?6_ That person could also be called a “literary thief” or a “plagiarist”Why is plagiarism a serious problem?Its our own worst fear to have that thing that we created stolen from us, and its the same as our words. That thing that we created is essential to who we are.7_ Academics are especially aware of the nature of plagiarism because their work is essentially the creation of ideas and putting them into words.8_One of the possible punishments for plagiarism at US universities is dismissal from the school. Students may fail a course or be given a letter of censure(谴责) that stays on their school record. Professors or researchers who plagiarize may damage or end their careers.Plagiarism is easy to find.Before the digital age we live in, plagiarizing was harder. You had to write out the words you copied. But now anything can be copied and passed. In the past, teachers would have to work hard to prove that work was copied.9_ The plagiarism checking software programs used by many students and universities include Turnitin, Grammarly, Duplichecker, and iThenticate. Nobody is going to get away with it.AHow to avoid plagiarism.BConsequences of plagiarism.CStealing our words is as serious as if stealing our child.DNowadays, some software programs will help you avoid plagiarism.EPlagiarism is to copy someone elses written work without giving them credit.FBut nowadays, all you have to do is to run a paper through a plagiarism detection software.GThey learn from their early years in school that copying another writers words is wrong.语篇导读本文为说明文。在数字信息化时代,抄袭容易,被抓更容易。阅读本文,你将对“抄袭”有更深的了解。5解析 G诠释关系。上文讲梅兰妮亚特朗普抄袭米歇尔奥巴马演讲的消息在世界范围流传开之后,美国及其他地方大学的老师和学生都很震惊。G项解释了大家震惊的原因,因为他们早年在学校里学到过,抄袭其他作者的话语是错误的行为。该项与上文构成诠释关系,故选G项。6解析 E诠释关系。该段落小标题为What is plagiarism?(剽窃是什么?),E项对剽窃下定义,即:剽窃就是在无他人授权的情况下抄袭他人的书面作品,故选E项。 7解析 C顺承关系。该段主要回答了为什么剽窃是一件很严重的事情。上文讲到:我们很害怕自己的东西被偷,我们的话语也是这样。我们创造的事物对自己是至关重要的。C项形象地解释了剽窃话语这件事的严重性,符合该段落的中心大意,与上文构成顺承关系,故选C项。 8解析 B总分关系。根据上下文内容可知,B项是对下一段落的归纳概括。下文讲到:在美国的大学里剽窃,可能受到开除的惩罚。学生可能会挂掉一门课程,或者会收到记入档案的处分通知。那些剽窃的教授或研究人员可能会损害或者结束他们的职业生涯。由此可以看出该段主要讲剽窃的不良后果,故选B项。 9解析 F对照关系。上句讲到:过去,老师们得费很大劲儿才能证明那份作业是抄袭的。F项(可是现在,你要做的只是用剽窃探测软件扫描文本)与上文构成对照关系,很好地突出了文段的中心剽窃很容易被发现,故选F项。.完形填空Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten. As is _1_,_I wished her success. I was lying. What I actually wish for her is_2_. I believe in the power of failure.Success is _3_. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can _4_ be a problematical victory. Firsttime success is usually a fluke(侥幸). Firsttime failure, _5_,_is expected; it is the natural order of things.Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase _6_ a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If youve spent enough time in the _7_ to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about _8_.I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time _9_ knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility(信誉) their _10_ gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am _11_ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I dont set out to write it; I try my best every day. _12_,_every week, one column is inferior(较差的) to the others, sometimes extremely so.I have learned to _13_ that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading(踩踏) on _14_ ground, going with the tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to _15_ something Ive never done before, something Im not even sure can be done.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to _16_ her. But I will also, I hope, _17_ her of what she learned, and how she can do whatever it is _18_ next time. I probably wont tell her that failure is a good thing, because thats not a(n) _19_ she can learn when shes five. I hope I can tell her, though, that its not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the _20_.语篇导读本文为夹叙夹议文。失败未必是件坏事,它会让我们成长,学到更多东西。1Ausual BconventionalCexpected Dcontradictory解析 B孙女上幼儿园,从传统上来讲,祖父(母)当然希望她能成功。usual通常的;conventional传统的;expected预计的,期望的;contradictory相反的,对立的,故选B项。2A.failure Bsuccess Csacrifice Dvictory解析 A根据I was lying及第一段最后一句可知,此处作者希望孙女失败,故选A项。3A.convincing BdemandingCboring Dworthwhile解析 C成功是平淡的,联系下句“成功是证明了你能做你已经知道你能做的事情”和上句“我相信失败的力量”,证明作者认为一开始就获得成功是件无趣的事情,故选C项。4A.seldom Boften Calways Dnever解析 B首次尝试就获得成功,经常可能是带有问题的胜利,因为你不经历失败,不会真正明白如何去成功,此处如果使用always,显得太绝对,不符合文意,故选B项。5A.on purpose Bat lengthCin turn Dby contrast解析 D此处要表达一种句意的转折,by contrast相当于however; on purpose故意;at length最后;in turn依次,轮流,故选D项。6A.defining Bclassifying Cdescribing Dviewing解析 C一句非洲谚语将好厨子描写(describe)成“一个打破了很多锅的人”,因为只有遭遇了很多失败的人才有可能真正成功,这才符合文意。define限定,限制;classify分类;view评价,都不合适,故选C项。7A.canteen Bkitchen Cdormitory Dcorridor解析 B厨师当然是在厨房工作,故选B项。8A.learning Bcooking Cgardening Dtraining解析 B厨师了解的当然是烹饪,故选B项。9A.competing BcountingCdisplaying Dcomparing解析 D结合第9空和第10空,可知厨师们是在一起比较刀伤和烫伤,在展示伤痕的同时,可能还在讲述关于伤痕的故事,所以display(展示)和count(计数)不合适,compete (竞争) 用法为compete for/against/with, 均不合适,故选D项。10A.endeavors Bfailures Cwounds Dscars解析 B从全文来看,是失败带给了厨师们成功(好手艺),故选B项。11A.aware Bgrateful Cskeptical Dconfident解析 A每周总有一份报刊专栏是本周最糟糕的专栏,这是自然的现象,所以是“我”意识到这一点,而不是怀疑这一点,故选A项。12A.Therefore BMoreover CStill DOtherwise解析 C句意:尽管如此,每周还是会有一份专栏比其他的专栏要差一些。still作副词,表示“不过,但是”,故选C项。13A.update Breview Ccherish Dadapt解析 C作者珍惜那个专栏实际上是珍惜失败的机会,因为多次的失败会转换成成功,这和全文的大意是一致的。cherish珍惜,珍视,故选C项。14A.similar Btentative Caccessible Dfamiliar解析 D第14空应该和第15空结合起来看,“我经常试图在我写得较差的专栏里尝试我以前从未做过的事情,一些我甚至不能确信我能做到的事。”与此相反,“我在成功的专栏里写我熟悉的东西”,即“循规蹈矩,使用有效的技巧,用华丽的词汇修饰受欢迎的想法”,故选D项。15A.take in Bget throughCcomment on Dfigure out解析 Bget through此处意为“设法完成,处理”,故选B项。16A.amuse Bcomfort Creward Dtease解析 B孙女遭受失败的时候,祖父(母)首先一定是安慰她,amuse(逗乐),reward(回报), tease(取笑,捉弄) 都不合适,故选B项。17A.remind Bsuspect Cinform Dcheat解析 A祖父(母)会提醒孙女她所学到的东西,并且告诉她如何能在下一次做得更好,这样理解才符合文章大意,失败之后才更接近成功。inform(通知,告知)不符合上下文,故选A项。18A.worse Bacuter Cbetter Dluckier解析 C参见上题解析。19A.trick Bexperience Ctruth Dlesson解析 D祖父(母)不会告诉孙女失败是件好事,因为对于一个5岁的孩子来说,这不是她所能记住的教训,故选D项。20A.beginning Bdestination Cending Dprocess解析 A失败不是世界末日,而是开端,故选A项。.语法填空(2018四川彭州中学9月月考)The MidAutumn Festival in China has nothing, or at least very little, to do 1with autumn. Its about time off work, and the gift that few seem to eat but people keep giving to one another: mooncakes.I 2learned/learnt (learn) about mooncakes when I moved to Chinas capital city, Beijing. When the MidAutumn Festival came around, the city was 3lively (live) especially with shopping for mooncakes. Every grocery store seemed to have lines of people 4carrying (carry) that single item(商品) to the counter. I asked my Chinese friends about mooncakes, and 5the majority of them said that few people actually ate them. Instead, 6regarded (regard) as gifts, theyre chosen for family, friends or coworkers.When years later I moved back to New York City, I didnt expect to find any public 7celebration(s) (celebrate) of the MidAutumn Festival. But Ive been surprised at the ways the festival continues in at least the citys 8heavily (heavy) Chinese neighborhoods. For weeks bef
