5、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(by intention)这样做的,但以后走路的时候不能再看手机了。”_It has become a tendency for people to look down at their mobile phones.I was having dinner
6、at the cafeteria one day when a young man came in.Looking down at his phone as he walked,he unexpectedly knocked down an old woman.He hurried to help the old woman.Although her facial expression was painful,she made a gesture,“Its OK.You didnt do it by intention,but you cant look at your phone when
7、you walk any longer.”.阅读理解A Bright red post boxes,the Queen and queuingwhat do they all have in common?They are all important parts of British life.At least I thought so.However,the ability to queue for long periods of time,once believed to be a traditional characteristic of the British,is no longer
8、 tolerated by people in the UK,according to a survey done for British bank Barclays.Once upon a time,queuing was seen as normal.During World War,everyone had to queue up to receive their daily supply of foods.In fact,if you didnt stand up and wait in line with all the others,it was seen as unciviliz
9、ed(不文明的).The famous English double-decker buses,with only one entrance,might also help explain why queuing was seen as a part of British life.Almost always,there is a queue to get on.But perhaps the British are tired of being pushed past by the Spanish,the Italians or the French as they queue up to
10、get a table at a restaurant.The people of these other European countries have more than one entrance to their houses,which explains their more relaxed attitude to the queue.Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait.But could it be that the Internet,which
11、allows us to carry out tasks quickly,is the main reason why British people are no longer prepared to queue?“Used to buying without delay,customers are even giving up purchases rather than wait their turn,”says Stuart Neal of Barclaycard.“Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long if the item th
12、ey are buying is of low value.”Perhaps I will have to replace“queuing”with“impatience”in my list of things I relate to the British.【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.What can we learn about the tradition of queuing in Britain?A.It
13、was a product of the slow pace of life.B.It was a long time tradition as old as the Queen.C.It was considered as a symbol of a civilized behavior.D.It has made the British different from other Europeans.【解析】选C。推理判断题。文章第三段介绍“if you didnt stand up and wait in line with all the others,it was seen as un
14、civilized.”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.According to the passage,the British gradually stopped queuing because_.A.they prefer shopping onlineB.they follow the example of foreignersC.British buses have more than one entranceD.the Internet has changed their way of life【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章倒数第三段提
15、出“could it be that the Internet,which allows us to carry out.”和倒数第二段“Used to buying without delay”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.It can be learned from the text that_.A.the British get impatient with queuing for longB.the British have to queue to receive foodC.the Briti
16、sh like to eat in foreign restaurantsD.the British prefer to take double-decker buses【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章倒数第三段“Two minutes is now the longest time most British people are prepared to stand and wait.”和倒数第二段“Shoppers are also less likely to queue for long.”可知,英国人对长时间排队已经变得不再有耐心。4.The authors main purpose
17、 of writing the passage is_.A.to tell us the influence of the Internet on the British ways of lifeB.to compare the cultural differences between Britain and other countriesC.to talk about the changes in the attitude to queuing in BritainD.to report his research on the British ways of life【解析】选C。写作意图题
18、。作者在文章开头提出排队和女王一样是英国典型的一种现象,然后在第二段话题一转,提到原属于英国人传统的这一特点却不复存在了,然后对这种变化展开分析,最后用“Perhaps I will have to replace queuing with impatience in my list of things I relate to the British.”来照应开头,由此可知文章中心内容就是谈论英国人对于排队等候态度的转变。BGoogles new camera,called Google Clips,is a small,smart device.It comes with a case th
