Unit21.—Howabouthavingadrink?—_________________a.Goodidea.

b.Metoo.

c.Helpyourself.解析：Howabout…是口语中常用的一个省略句型，用于征询对方的意见或建议。Goodidea用于对别人的提议表示赞同。所以A是正确答案。2.—________________—Canyoutellmesomethingaboutyournewproduct?a.Whatdoyoudo,sir?b.whatdoyouwanttobuy?c.CanIhelpyou,sir?解析：CanIhelpyou?是一句典型的服务行业用语。在这里根据回答可以看出是服务人员在询问顾客“我能为你做什么？”选C3.—Couldyougivemethebrochureforthatmachine?—________________a.Yes,hereyouare.

b.No,thanks.

c.Yes,please.解析：hereyouare意为“给你”或者“你需要的东西在这里”。前者说“你能不能给我那台机器的产品手册”，因此选择A.4.We_________todeliverthegoodswithinaweek.a.assure

b.guarantee

c.guard译文：我们保证一周内寄出货物。解析：assure是及物动词，意为“向…保证；使…确信”；guarantee意为“保证”。guard意为“保卫，看护”。因此B是正确答案。5.Youcanturnonthetoyrobotby__________thisbutton.a.pressing

b.press

c.pressed译文：你可以按这个按钮来启动这个玩具机器人。解析：by+v-ing这个结构中,by是介词,意为“以……方式”、“以……方法或手段”,by之后常接v-ing或名词。所以选择A。6.—Perhapsyouhaveheardourproducts.Wouldyouliketoknowsomethingmore?—_________________a.Sure.Goahead.

b.Idon’tneedanything.

c.I‘veheardlotaboutyou.解析：前面一句话是询问客户是否愿意更细致地了解一下自己的产品。goahead表示请对方继续说、继续做等。A选项可以翻译为“好的，请讲”，是正确答案。7.Wetrustthisnewproductofourswill____________toyourmarket.选择一项：a.appeal

b.appear

c.appease译文：相信我们这种新产品将会引起你方市场的兴趣。解析：appeal后面加上to,意为“对…有吸引力”；appear意为“出现”，appearto有“好像看起来”的意思；appease意为“安抚，对……让步，是一个及物动词，后面不跟to。8.Theybuiltarobotcapableof___________spokencommands.a.understand

b.understanding

c.understood译文：他们制造了一个能懂口头指令的机器人。解析：capableof表示有能力做……后面跟名词或者动名词。因此此处选择B。9.TheCheetahrobotmadebyMIT'sscientistscanjumpoverhurdleswhile__________.A.itrunning

B.running

C.beran译文：由麻省理工学院科学家们研制的猎豹机器人在奔跑时能够跳过障碍物。解析：在while引导的时间状语从句中，当状语从句中的主语和主句的主语一致，常常可以省略从句中的主语和be动词。这个句子是TheCheetahrobotmadebyMIT'sscientistscanjumpoverhurdleswhile(theCheetahrobotis)running.省略了主语theCheetahrobot和be动词is,所以选择B。10.Thescientistspokeconfidently,__________impressedmemost.A.that

B.sothat

C.which译文：这位科学家说话非常自信，那给我留下了很深的印象。解析：that不能用来引导非限制性定语从句。which代替整个主句，在非限制性定语从句中作主语，因此选C。11.Spaceshipsarestockedwithavarietyof___________foods.a.instinct

b.Instant

c.initial译文：宇宙飞船上备有各种方便食品。解析：instant意为“立即的，直接的”。instantfood指的是方便食品。Initial意为“最初的，开始的”。instinct是名词，意为“天生的本领”。12.—Letmeintroducemyself,I’mTom.—________________.a.Itismypleasure.

b.pleasedtomeetyou.

c.whatapleasure.解析：相互介绍后，可以用Pleased/Gladtomeet/seeyou之类的话表示友好和客气。在前一句对方介绍了自己，所以选择B.It'smypleasure通常是用于别人感谢你时的回答，相当于“不客气”。Whatapleasure意为“多高兴啊！”13.Theyaretryingtomakeanewproduct——theworld'ssmallest__________robot.选择一项：译文：他们正在努力生产一个新产品——全世界最小的人型机器人。解析：hammer意为“捶打”，humane意为“人道的”，humanoid意为“类人的，有人的特点的”。因此此处选A。二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。Ifyouwantyourproductdescriptionappealingandinformative,writeyourarticlelinkingfeaturesandbenefitsfirst.It'softennotenoughtojustlistthefeaturesofaproductasyouraudiencemaynotalwaysunderstandthem.Usebuyerand

asale.Becreativeandencouragethepotentialbuyertopurchaseyourproductbytellingthemexactlyhowtodoit.解析：1.该单词修饰后面的名词language.选项A的description是名词，意为“形容，描述”，选项C的described是动词describe的过去时。所以选B。此句意思是“使用描述性的语言表达……”2.此句意思是“……和购买这件商品会如何让他们的生活更加便捷”，所以选A。3.文中提到如何写好商品描述的第二点是使用清楚坚定的语言。此空前一句说到写商品描述时要简明是很重要的。所以要使用的语言是便于理解的，所以选C。此句意为“使用容易让人明白的通俗的语言和术语。”4.without作介词，后面跟名词或动名词，表示不做，没有。所以选C。此句意为“简明地描述商品，不要写得太技术性或者太无聊，这样读者才能保持有兴趣”5.askto用法为asktodosth.askfor后面跟名词。所以选B.二、阅读理解：这是在展会上一名销售人员向顾客介绍新产品的场景，请将对话排序。Salesman:ThisisAction'sprideandjoy,theKitchenMaster.It’saprimeA.exampleofourfuturelineofsmartproducts.Weareallveryexcitedaboutthisoven.5.Intrialruns,thisproducthasperformedverywell.B.Customer:Well,Thisoneseemsnice.C.Salesman:Goodmorning,welcometoourbooth.WhatcanIdoforyou?D.Customer:Great.Thenhowabouttheprice?E.

Thatsoundsreallycool.WherecanIgetthis?Salesman:Ourpricesvarybecausethefunction,designandcoloraredifferent.Hereisourcatalogues.解析:这是在展会上一名销售人员向顾客介绍新产品的场景：whatcanIdoforyou是服务行业里面极为常用的句子，作为对顾客的招呼语。顾客随后表示出对新产品的兴趣。销售人员于是向顾客简要描述了产品非常的先进。顾客进一步询问新产品的特点，于是销售员详细介绍产品具有的特殊功能。之后顾客询问如何订购这个产品，销售员告诉顾客产品的发布时间，建议顾客可以在官方网站上进行订购。最后顾客想要了解产品的价格。销售人员表示价格会因为功能、设计和颜色不同而不同，并将产品手册给顾客查阅，顾客表示感谢。二、阅读理解：阅读下面的短文，根据文章内容从A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。RobyMiniisjust40centimeterstall,hasalargeroundscreenforaheadandhasbeendesignedtohelpseniorcitizenslivingalone.ManufacturedbyroboticscompanyShanghaiPTInfo,thebrightlycoloredrobot,whichcosts5,000yuan($790),waslaunchedonAug14tohelpentertainandmonitorelderlypeople.InShanghailastyear,thenumberofregisteredresidentsatleast60yearsoldwas4million.Thatwasnearly30percentofthepopulation.By2018,thefigureisprojectedtoriseto5million.Withmanylivingalone,robotssuchasRobyMinicanhelpplayacrucialroleincaringfortheelderly."Itwillchangethewaypeopleinteractwithdigitalproducts,"Hongsays.FoundedinMay,ShanghaiPTInfohadalreadydonethegroundwork.Infact,theresearchteamspentthreeyearsdevelopingthespeechrecognitionsystembeforethefirmwasofficiallylaunched.With360-degreewheelshiddenunderitsbody,RobyMinicanfollowapersonthroughfacerecognitionandstrikeupaconversation,telljokesorprovideinformation.Therobotalsoworksasacomputerterminal,supplyingweatherinformation,orderinggroceriesonlineandevenbookingtaxis.RobyMinicanbeconnectedtoothergadgetsaswell,suchassmartwristbandsormagneticdevicesondoors.RobyMinicanalsoconnectanelderlyownertoadoctorthroughitshigh-definitionscreen.AlreadyShanghaiPTInfoistalkingtothreecommunityhospitalsinShanghai'sMinhangdistrict.SincetherobotislinkedtotheInternet,itcansupportlong-distanceaudioandvideocalls.MassproductionstartedthismonthandShanghaiPTInfoplanstomanufacture200,000unitsthisyear.ButthefutureisnoteasyforShanghaiPTInfo.Earlierthisyear,FlyingwingsIntelligentRobotTechnology(Shanghai)introducedamachinewithsensorsthatwillringanalarmwhenanelderlypersonfallsdown.TianjinShangjiuShengyuanTechnologyGroupalsodevelopedarobotforseniorsin2014.Ownerscanturnonthelightsandair-conditioningunitsbypressingbuttonsonthemachine.Itcanalsoremindelderlyownerstotakepills,andinformthemofhospitalcheckupsandfamilybirthdays.1.RobyMiniisthenameofA.aroboticscompanyB.arobotC.aseniorcitizenlivingalone2.RobyMiniisdesignedtoA.helplookafterchildrenlivingaloneinseniorhighschoolB.helpentertainandmonitorseniorcitizensC.changethewaypeopleinteractwithdigitalproducts3.Accordingtothispassage,thenumberofregisteredresidentsatleast60yearsoldwillbeA.4millionnextyearB.30percentofthepopulationC.increaseto5millionby20184.Thewriterthinks“thefutureisnoteasyforShanghaiPTInfo”becauseA.therearetoomanyelderpeopleinSha
