答案和解析一、用所給短語的適當(dāng)形式填空1.competewith2.breakingnewground3.droppedeback5.takenover6.poppingup二、閱讀理解1.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的Theappwillnoticeyouwithalertswhenyouspendmoneyasitwillhelpyououtlinewhatyouhavespentincategorieslikeshopping,bill,foodsandmanymore.可知，如果你在花錢的話，那么Starling將會提醒你一些關(guān)于你消費(fèi)的信息。故選D。2.A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段中的Thegoodthingaboutthisappisthatitenablesyoutogetmorerewardswhenyouoftenuseit.Thoserewardscanbeusedatyourusuallocalfoodstores.可知，它的獎勵能讓你節(jié)省一些錢。故選A。3.B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的Whenyouarehookedupinanareathatisnotfamiliartoyouandyouareinterestedingettingsomecash,insteadofmovingupanddowninsearchingforthenearestplacetowithdrawsomecash,thisappshouldgiveyoucomfortindoingthat.可知，當(dāng)你在一個(gè)不熟悉的陌生地方又需要取錢時(shí)，你可以使用ATMLocator軟件。故選B。三、七選五1.D根據(jù)前句Lessonsareoftenpresentedtoentireclassesonchalkboards(orblackboards,astheywereoriginallycalled)usingsticksofchalk.可知，一般老師給全班同學(xué)上課都是用粉筆在黑板上進(jìn)行。D項(xiàng)(那是因?yàn)檫@種做法被證實(shí)是既廉價(jià)又簡單)承接上句，解釋了用粉筆在黑板上寫字的原因。且D項(xiàng)中的thismethod指前句中的usingsticksofchalk。2.E根據(jù)前句Later,artistsofdifferentcountriesandstylesusedchalkmainlyforsketches(素描)可知，后來，不同國家和風(fēng)格的藝術(shù)家使用粉筆作畫。E項(xiàng)(粉筆最初被做成棍狀是為了方便畫家)承接上句。前后句中的artists為原詞復(fù)現(xiàn)。3.G根據(jù)后句Classsizesbegantoincreaseatthattime.Therefore,teachersneededaconvenientwayofconveyinginformationtomanystudentsatonetime.可知，那時(shí)班級規(guī)模開始擴(kuò)大，教師們需要一種便捷的方法把信息同時(shí)傳遞給很多學(xué)生。G項(xiàng)(粉筆直到19世紀(jì)才成為教室里的標(biāo)配)承接下句。the19thcentury指的就是后文中的thattime。4.B根據(jù)前文duringthe20thcentury,theychosethecolorgreen,arguingthatitwaseasierontheeyes可知，出于對眼睛的考慮，20世紀(jì)黑板的顏色變成了綠色。B項(xiàng)(黃色成為粉筆的首選顏色)承接自然，黑板顏色的變化導(dǎo)致粉筆顏色選擇的變化，符合邏輯。5.A后文It'sjustthatthedustsettlesfaster.(只不過是粉塵沉降得更快而已)與A項(xiàng)(無塵粉筆仍然會產(chǎn)生粉塵)承接自然。
