结合课文主题使用本单元词汇与句型,根据提示写一篇80词左右的短文人们低头看手机已经成为一种趋势(tendency)。一天,我正在自助餐厅(cafeteria)吃晚饭,这时一个年轻人走了进来。他边走边低头看手机,没想到他撞倒了一位老太太。他急忙去扶老太太,尽管老太太的面部(facial)表情很痛苦,但她打着手势(gesture)说:“没事,你不是故意(byintention)这样做的,但以后走路的时候不能再看手机了。”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Onceuponatime,queuingwasseenasnormal.DuringWorldWarⅡ,everyonehadtoqueueuptoreceivetheirdailysupplyoffoods.Infact,ifyoudidn’tstandupandwaitinlinewithalltheothers,itwasseenasuncivilized(不文明的).ThefamousEnglishdouble-deckerbuses,withonlyoneentrance,mightalsohelpexplainwhyqueuingwasseenasapartofBritishlife.Almostalways,thereisaqueuetogeton.

“Usedtobuyingwithoutdelay,customersareevengivinguppurchasesratherthanwaittheirturn,”saysStuartNealofBarclaycard.“Shoppersarealsolesslikelytoqueueforlongiftheitemtheyarebuyingisoflowvalue.”PerhapsIwillhavetoreplace“queuing”with“impatience”inmylistofthingsIrelatetotheBritish.【文章大意】英国人一向以绅士风度而著称,排队等候也曾一度是英国特有的景象。然而随着高科技的发展,网络的便捷却使英国人渐渐失去了耐心,有时候顾客宁愿放弃购买东西也不愿意排队等候,他们最长的等候时间是两分钟。1.WhatcanwelearnaboutthetraditionofqueuinginBritain?A.Itwasaproductoftheslowpaceoflife.B.ItwasalongtimetraditionasoldastheQueen.C.Itwasconsideredasasymbolofacivilizedbehavior.D.IthasmadetheBritishdifferentfromotherEuropeans.

【解析】选C。推理判断题。文章第三段介绍“ifyoudidn’tstandupandwaitinlinewithalltheothers,itwasseenasuncivilized.”如果人们不排队,那么会被看作是不文明的,由此推断在英国排队等候是文明行为。2.Accordingtothepassage,theBritishgraduallystoppedqueuingbecause______.

A.theyprefershoppingonlineB.theyfollowtheexampleofforeignersC.BritishbuseshavemorethanoneentranceD.theInternethaschangedtheirwayoflife【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段提出“coulditbethattheInternet,whichallowsustocarryout...”和倒数第二段“Usedtobuyingwithoutdelay”可推断,人们习惯了网上购物的便捷,因此在生活中对排队等候这种事情变得不再有耐心,因此可以说是网络改变了人们的生活方式。3.Itcanbelearnedfromthetextthat______.

A.theBritishgetimpatientwithqueuingforlongB.theBritishhavetoqueuetoreceivefoodC.theBritishliketoeatinforeignrestaurantsD.theBritishprefertotakedouble-deckerbuses【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“TwominutesisnowthelongesttimemostBritishpeoplearepreparedtostandandwait.”和倒数第二段“Shoppersarealsolesslikelytoqueueforlong...”可知,英国人对长时间排队已经变得不再有耐心。Thedeviceusesmachinelearningalgorithms(计算程序)tohelpcapturescenes.Thosealgorithmsincludefacerecognition.“Onceitlearnsthatthere’safaceyouseefrequently,it’lltrytogetnicephotosofthosefaces,”saidJustonPayne,thedevice’sproductmanager.Andtheyalsowantittorecognizefacialexpressions,trainingittoknowwhathappinesslookslike.TheGoogleteamalsotrainedittorecognizewhatnottoshoot—likewhenachild’shandisoverthelens,orifitistossedinadarkpurse.Theonlywaytoseetheimagesisbyconnectingthecamerawithyourphone,asithasnoscreenforviewingorediting.Werepeopleconcerneditcouldseemstrange?Yes,Payneadmitted.Buttheysaidtheyaddressedthatbymakingitobviouswhatitis.Agreenlightonthefrontsignalsthatitison.Besides,unlikeacamerameanttomonitoryourhome,itisnotconnectedtotheInternet.

【文章大意】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了移动支付这一方式正在由中国席卷至其他国家。1.【解析】选F。根据前文“我们大多数中国人习惯用手机支付一切费用。”可知,F项“但对于不熟悉这种方法的外国游客来说,这似乎有些奇怪。”从相反的方面阐述移动支付,与前文相互呼应。故选F项。2.【解析】选D。根据前文“林在上海一个街头摊位排队买坚果,看到其他顾客(给摊主)展示了手机后,拿了坚果却不给现金。”可知,D项“不久之后,他意识到顾客们正在使用微信支付。”承接上文,解释原因。故选D项。3.【解析】选G。根据后文“据新华社报道,目前许多国家接受中国游客的移动支付服务,微信支付覆盖13个海外国家和地区,支付宝覆盖200多个国家和地区。”可知,G项“中国移动支付的普及推动了一些外国公司接受它们”为后文的总结,在此处合适。故选G项。4.【解析】选E。根据前文“根据ForresterResearch的数据,在美国,移动支付在2016年增长了37%。”可知,前文提及美国的移动支付,后文接着对比阐述中国的移动支付。E项“尽管如此,中国的移动支付比美国高出近50倍。”符合语境。故选E项。5.【解析】选C。根据前文“这可能部分是因为西方移动支付服务要求企业在客户使用之前安装昂贵的设备。”可知,C项“但在中国,只要一个二维码和一部手机。”与前文转折形成对比,解释中国移动支付普及的原因。故选C项。
