Unit 8 Adventure能力提升题组训练(B).阅读理解A“How are things back at the office?” one of the gentlemen in my bicycle tour group asked me as we were nearing the end of another lengthy ride through Croatias scenic countryside.“I assume they are going fine,” I said.“I havent had any contact and I dont plan to.”“Your phone isnt on?” he asked,incredulously.“You havent checked your email?” “My phone is off and no,Im not planning on checking email,” I said.My wife Heidi and I took our children,Daniel and Rachel,on a two-week trip to Croatia,one of the most beautiful countries in the world.We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.Why would I destroy the environment we had traveled thousands of miles to create by bringing my work environment into it?That would be counterproductive to everything I wanted out of this trip.If I had worked during this experience,I would have taken time away from my family and sent them the message that work takes priority over them.In addition to sharing this incredible experience,I wanted to take us all out of the activity-driven world we live in.If I had had my cell phone on and been constantly searching out a wireless connection to keep up with the office,I would just have brought that hyper-connected environment into the peaceful,meaningful world I was trying to create.In addition to creating lifelong memories with my family,another wonderful thing happened as a result of this bike trip.As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.Taking time off restored and rejuvenated me and allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface.How can you accomplish that goal if you simply move the source of that stress to a different location?1.From the conversation at the beginning of the text,we can infer that .A.the author had no access to the Internet during the tourB.the gentleman was quite concerned about the authors workC.the authors phone was off because he didnt want to be disturbedD.the speakers both experienced an unpleasant bicycle tour in Croatia2.One of the purposes of the authors Croatias bicycle tour is .A.to spend some time creating closer ties with his familyB.to experience a primitive life without phone callsC.to tell his family that his work is more important for himD.to escape from his boring work environment at the office3.What would the author probably do after returning home from their bike trip?A.He would be busy with all his office work again.B.He would be caught in a big flood of new business.C.He would have many new fresh ideas for his business.D.He would make up for his missing blog posts during the journey.4.The underlined word “rejuvenated” in the last paragraph probably means “”.A.got one exhausted B.drove one madC.caused one to lose temperD.made one more energetic语篇解读:作者去克罗地亚旅游时完全放下了手头的工作,尽情地游玩并且他还产生了很多新的灵感。答案及剖析:1.C推理判断题。在文章开头的对话中,作者说他把手机关机,并且没有查看电子邮件。再结合下文内容可知,他这样做是为了更好地和家人一起旅游,由此可以推断出,他不开手机是因为不想被打扰。2.A细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句 “We made the choice to spend some of our money on this wonderful experience so we could spend time bonding with each other and the kids.” 可知,作者是想借此机会增进与家人之间的感情。3.C细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的 “As we were returning home,I was flooded with new ideas.I came up with concepts for nine blog posts and several ideas that I wanted to incorporate into my business.” 可知,作者在旅游结束回家以后有了很多新的想法,而且他还想把这些想法运用到工作中去。4.D词义猜测题。本句中的 “restored” 与画线词 “rejuvenated” 理应意义接近,结合下文中的 “allowed my creative spirit to really come to the surface” 可知,休息之后,作者有了更多具有创造性的想法。由此可推知,休息使人精力更加充沛。B(21世纪学生英文报634期)Most of us have been in this situation.Youre halfway to meet your friends,then you suddenly ask yourself,“Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with “smart homes”,however,this wouldnt be a problem.Over the last few years,smart home technology has become more popular.Thanks to user-friendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers,people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.“All of our light switches are controllable via our phones and computers.Our home security system,our TV and our heating and cooling controls are all controllable too,” said Mike Poulson,35,a senior program manager from Seattle,US,whose home even greets him and his family when they enter.While smart homes arent new,companies like Philips,Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence (AI,人工智能) speakers and sensors (感应器).“The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber,director of research for US-based digital company Parks Associates,told the Guardian.And the technology also has more meaningful uses.In Norway,for example,one company is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers.Abilias system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home.Taking care of ourselvesThe device (装置) sends patients reminders about tasks,such as when they need to take medication.It can even tell carers if theres any unusual activity in the home that could be life-threatening.“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves,which is the most important thing,”Abilias vice president,Oystein Johnsen,told the BBC.“It also saves the government money.In Norway,it costs 1 million kroner (0.8 million yuan) per year to have someone in a care home.This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.”So,for those who have already “gone smart”,will it ever be possible to go back to doing things the old-fashioned way?“I think it would be difficult.When we go to a friends house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do,” Poulson explained.“It would be like going back to a world without cellphones.Not impossible,just different.”5.According to the article,smart homes refer to homes .A.that make the best use of energyB.with user-friendly electrical items in themC.that are equipped with a home security systemD.whose electrical items can be controlled from far away6.What is the biggest advantage of Abilias system,according to Oystein Johnsen?A.It saves the government a lot of money.B.It helps carers to better take care of patients.C.It reminds patients not to do dangerous things.D.It enables patients to look after themselves.7.Poulsons words in the last two paragraphs intend to show that .A.people rely too much on cellphones nowadaysB.not all people welcome smart home technologyC.smart home technology will be popularized in the futureD.it might be hard to get rid of smart home technology once you are used to it语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。介绍了智能家居引领潮流新生活。答案及剖析:5.D细节理解题。本题考查智能家居的含义。根据第二段中的“people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world.”可知,人们可以在世界的任何地方控制几乎家里的每一件电器,故答案为D。文章提到了智能家居可以节约能源,但并没有说它可以充分利用能源,故A不选。文章确实提到智能家居中配有方便用户的电器,但这并不是智能家居最主要的特点,故B不选。C选项文章并未提及。6.D细节理解题。 根据倒数第五段“This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves,which is the most important thing”可知,Abilias system最大的优势在于可以让人们照顾自己,故D正确。为政府省钱不是Abilias system最显著的优势,故A错误。Abilias system确实可以帮助看护者照顾病人,但这不是Oystein Johnsen提出的,故B不选。Abilias system可以告知看护者病人是否在进行具有生命危险的活动,但是文章并没有说该系统可以提醒病人,故不选C。7.D推理判断题。 根据倒数第二段Poulson的回答“I think it would be difficult.When we go to a friends house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do”可知,当人们已经习惯于智能化的生活后,就很难再回到过去的生活方式,故D正确。最后一段虽提及人们很难回到没有手机的时代,但这是为了证明使用智能家居技术后人们会产生依赖,故A错误。Poulson的观点中并不能推断出B和C选项,故不选。.语法填空(2018安徽合肥质检)Eileen Taylor had something sweet on her mind in the drive-through line at Heavnly Donuts.Just the day before,a stranger ahead of her in line had 1.(generous) paid for her coffee.“The gesture made such 2. big difference in my day,”says

by the end of the day.Now 10.(work) as a chemist,Eileen visits Heavnly Donuts every Saturday morning,picking up a coffee and paying for the order of the customer behind her.答案及剖析:1.generously考查词性转换。修饰动词paid用generous的副词形式generously,意为“慷慨地”。2.a考查冠词。make such a big difference意为“有如此大的影响”,是固定搭配。3.assistant考查词性转换。本空前面是名词所有格,再根据句意“她最近丢了作为医生助理的工作”,故本空填名词assistant“助理”。4.was inspired考查语态。inspire sb.to do sth.意为“激励某人做某事”,因本句中谓语inspire和主语Eileen之间是动宾关系,故用被动语态。5.What考查从句连接词。分析句子结构可知,was之前是一个主语从句,从句中缺宾语,故用what引导,注意首字母大写。6.them考查代词。behind是介词,后面用人称代词they的宾格形式them。7.had seen考查时态。根据本句的时间状语before可知用完成时,整篇文章都是以过去时为主,故本空用过去完成时had seen。8.which考查从句连接词。本句是逗号隔开的非限制性定语从句,因先行词为place,并且此空位于介词of的后面,故用which引导,构成名词+介词+关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句。9.amazed考查词性转换。本句的主语是the workers,指人感到吃惊用amazed。10.working考查非谓语动词。本句话的主语是Eileen,与动词work之间是主谓关系,故用v.-ing形式作伴随状语。.短文改错(2018高考原创押题预测卷)As we all know,friendship plays a important part in our life.If we have close friend,we can not only share happiness with them but also get support and encouragement from them,which can make us live a much more happier life.Unluckily,many young people misunderstood the meaning of friendship.They think anyone who help them escape punishment is a friend.In my opinion,a good friend is a friend who is honest and willingly to
