Unit2ExploringEnglishⅠ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者对于有个姐姐这件事,从小到大态度的转变。1.B推理判断题。根据第一段中“Throughoutmychildhood,Iconstantlydreamedofbeinganonlychild—havingnoonearoundtofightwith,tosharewith,tograbtheremotecontrolawayfrommeinthemiddleofa‘biggame’”.可知,作者小时候觉得做一个独生子很好。2.C细节理解题。根据第二段中“Mydadwasthecoachofmyteam,andmymomkeptscoring.Somysister,notoldenoughtostayhomealone,wasforcedtocometoallmygames.”可知,姐姐来看“我”的比赛是因为她年纪太小还不能自己留在家里。3.A细节理解题。根据第三段中“Often,shewouldsay,‘Goodgame,Brad.’Iwouldsmileandthankherbutnevertookitseriously.Shecouldn’tpossiblyknowwhetherIhadplayedwellornot.”以及倒数第二段中“SuddenlyIwasembarrassed,notforherpresence,butformypreviousattitudetoherpraise.”可知,作者感到尴尬是因为之前对于姐姐的赞扬没有看重,故选A项。4.A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Printedonhershirt,inbigbrightredletters,werethewords‘BRAD’SSISTER.’”可知,Christie为Brad感到骄傲,故选A项。【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,文章介绍了在日常生活中我们完全依赖于数字工具来保持联系并完成工作,从而导致“数字强度”这种现象的急剧增长。文章就此提出了解决的方法。5.C主旨大意题。根据第一段可知,第一段主要讲的是我们对数字工具的深度依赖。6.A词义猜测题。根据第一段的“Asremoteworkhassetin,we’rerelyingentirelyondigitaltoolstokeepintouchwitheachotherandgetourworkdone.”可知,由于我们完全依赖数字工具来保持联系并完成工作,由此会导致“数字强度”急剧增长。故画线词与A选项为同义词,意为“急剧增长”。7.B推理判断题。根据第三段中“Afterthebreak,‘you’llbemoreengagedandfocused,’headds.”可知,阿尔法波可以让人更加投入和专注。8.B细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Findingnewwaystoconnectwithourcolleagues,andreducingthenumberofdailyonlinemeetings,emailsandvirtualcheck-inswilldomorethan‘reducethedigitalload’.”可知,减少每天的视频会议可以帮助减少数字负载。Ⅱ.【语篇解读】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文,主要讲的是作者女儿的学校要求同学们编写关于自己的将来的诗歌,以此激励同学们要有梦想。1.C根据下文“Theyweresupposedtountruthsaboutthemselvesthatmadethemsoundwonderful.”可知,邀请同学们编写说自己很伟大的一些谎言诗。

2.B根据下文“untruths”可知,既然是不真实的事情,那肯定是编造出来的。3.A根据上文“Theyweresupposedtountruthsaboutthemselves”可知,她的同学们被邀请写一些谎言,让自己听起来令人难以置信地好。

4.D根据下文“thepictureoftheirfuture”可知,同学们通过写诗来描述或阐明自己的将来,故选D项。5.B根据上文“thepictureoftheirfuture”可知,他们通过写诗来构想自己以后的样子,故选B项。6.C根据下文“thechildrentodreambiginsuchaspecialway”可知,学校激励学生梦想自己的未来。7.A根据下文“it’shardforyoutoimaginetheinyourself”可知,我们很多人都不能看到自己将来可能会成为什么样的人。

8.C根据下文“Ifit’shardforyoutoimaginetheinyourself”,“tothatdifficulty”和“youmightwanttobeginbyexpressingitasa,asdidthechildrenwhowrotethepoems”可知,我们很多人想象不到自己将来的样子,所以作者女儿的学校想出了解决这个难题的办法。

9.D根据上文“mostofusaretoseethetruthofwhowecouldbe”可知,我们很多人想象不到自己将来的样子,也就是很难想象自己的潜力。

10.A根据第一段的“untr
