Week 3WednesdayTask 1：阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。(2014江西，D)Everyone looks forward to progress，whether in ones personal life or in the general society.Progress indicates a persons ability to change the way he is living at the moment.Progress must lead to a better life and a better way of doing things.All these，however，remain true only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.However，at the back of the minds of many people，especially those who miss the“good old days”，efficiency_comes_with_a_priceWhen communication becomes more efficient，people are able to contact one another no matter where they are and at whatever time they wish to.The click of a button allows people miles apart to talk or see each other without even leaving their homes.With the communication gadgets，such as mobile phones and ipads，people often do not take the effort to visit one another personally.A personal visit carries with it the additional feature of having to be in the persons presence for as long as the visit lasts.We cannot unnecessarily excuse ourselves or turn the other person off.With efficiency also comes mass production.Such is the nature of factories and the success of industrialization today.Factories have improved efficiency.Unskillful tasks are left to machines and products are better made and produced with greater accuracy than any human hand could ever have done.However，with the improvements in efficiency also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example，many handicrafts(手工艺品) are now produced in a factory.Although this means that supply is better able to increase demand，now that the supply is quick and efficient，the demand might fall because mass production lowers the quality of the handicraft and it is difficult to find unique designs on each item.Nevertheless，we must not commit the mistake of analyzing progress only from one point of view.In fact，progress has allowed tradition to keep up.It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.New technology is required for old products to stay old.It is peoples attitude towards progress that causes the type of influence that technology has on society.Technology is flexible.There is no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on peoples attitude.The worst effects of progress will fall on those who are unable to rethink their attitudes and views of society.When we accept progress and adapt it to suit our needs，a new“past”is created.【语篇解读】这是一篇议论文，属社会生活话题。科技的进步降低了生产成本，使生产效率大大提高。它给人们的生活带来了更多的便利。然而，作者对科技进步进行大加赞赏的同时也流露出深深的担忧。1According to Paragraph 1，progress can benefit people when they are willing to _Alive a better life Blook for better methods Cchange ways of livingDaccept technology and advance steadily答案D细节理解题。“.only in so far as people want to accept technology and move forward by finding new and more efficient ways of doing things.”一句是解答此题的依据。2The underlined word “gadgets” is closest in meaning to _Atools BmessagesCbarriers Dskills答案D词义猜测题。由列举的名词mobile phones and ipads可以推测“有了这些通讯工具人们就不必经常亲自互相拜访对方了。”因此A为最佳答案。3The author explains “efficiency comes with a price” by _Adescribing a process Busing examplesCfollowing time order Dmaking classification答案B推理判断题。作者谈到“efficiency comes with a price.”时，随后就以“Communication”为例进行论述，由此可知答案。4Compared with homemade handicrafts，machinemade products _Alack great accuracyBlack the personal touch Care of high value Dare quite welcome答案B细节理解题。根据第三段“.also comes the loss of the personal touch when making these products.For example，many handcrafts.”可知。5What can be concluded from the last paragraph?AProgress can suit the needs of daily life.BPeople review the past with great regret.CTechnology should be introduced in a fixed way.DPeoples attitude decides the use of technology.答案D推理判断题。“Theres no fixed way of making use of it.Everything depends on peoples attitude.”说明利用新技术没有固定的方法，一切都取决于人们的看法。故答案为D。Task 2：用英语简要概述本文大意答案The author spoke highly of technological progress and at the same time was deeply concerned about it.Task 3：词汇积累1indicate v表明，显示2efficient adj.效率高的3unique adj.独一无二的4nevertheless adv.然而，不过5point of view 观点6suit ones needs 满足某人的需求Task 4：经典句式1Everyone looks forward to progress，whether in ones personal life or in the general society.每个人都期待着进步，无论是在个人生活中还是在一般社会中。解读whether . or .意为“不管是否，不管是还是”，引导让步状语从句。仿写不论什么时候你受邀去做某事，无论你能去与否，都是需要做出回复的。Whenever you are invited to do something, response is expected, whether_you_can_go_or_not2It is only with progress and the invention of new technology that many old products can be brought back to their old state.仅仅是随着新科技的发明和
