結合課文主題使用本單元詞匯與句型,根據提示寫一篇80詞左右的短文人們低頭看手機已經成為一種趨勢(tendency)。一天,我正在自助餐廳(cafeteria)吃晚飯,這時一個年輕人走了進來。他邊走邊低頭看手機,沒想到他撞倒了一位老太太。他急忙去扶老太太,盡管老太太的面部(facial)表情很痛苦,但她打著手勢(gesture)說:“沒事,你不是故意(byintention)這樣做的,但以后走路的時候不能再看手機了。”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________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】英國人一向以紳士風度而著稱,排隊等候也曾一度是英國特有的景象。然而隨著高科技的發(fā)展,網絡的便捷卻使英國人漸漸失去了耐心,有時候顧客寧愿放棄購買東西也不愿意排隊等候,他們最長的等候時間是兩分鐘。1.WhatcanwelearnaboutthetraditionofqueuinginBritain?A.Itwasaproductoftheslowpaceoflife.B.ItwasalongtimetraditionasoldastheQueen.C.Itwasconsideredasasymbolofacivilizedbehavior.D.IthasmadetheBritishdifferentfromotherEuropeans.

【解析】選C。推理判斷題。文章第三段介紹“ifyoudidn’tstandupandwaitinlinewithalltheothers,itwasseenasuncivilized.”如果人們不排隊,那么會被看作是不文明的,由此推斷在英國排隊等候是文明行為。2.Accordingtothepassage,theBritishgraduallystoppedqueuingbecause______.

A.theyprefershoppingonlineB.theyfollowtheexampleofforeignersC.BritishbuseshavemorethanoneentranceD.theInternethaschangedtheirwayoflife【解析】選D。推理判斷題。根據文章倒數第三段提出“coulditbethattheInternet,whichallowsustocarryout...”和倒數第二段“Usedtobuyingwithoutdelay”可推斷,人們習慣了網上購物的便捷,因此在生活中對排隊等候這種事情變得不再有耐心,因此可以說是網絡改變了人們的生活方式。3.Itcanbelearnedfromthetextthat______.

A.theBritishgetimpatientwithqueuingforlongB.theBritishhavetoqueuetoreceivefoodC.theBritishliketoeatinforeignrestaurantsD.theBritishprefertotakedouble-deckerbuses【解析】選A。細節(jié)理解題。根據文章倒數第三段“TwominutesisnowthelongesttimemostBritishpeoplearepreparedtostandandwait.”和倒數第二段“Shoppersarealsolesslikelytoqueueforlong...”可知,英國人對長時間排隊已經變得不再有耐心。Thedeviceusesmachinelearningalgorithms(計算程序)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.
