文档简介
Unit 13 People李仕才【阅读理解】 Imagine getting a soft drink from a robot machine using only your smart phone. Or scanning a QR code (二维码) to buy goods from a newspaper ad. By making use of these new technologies, China mobile shopping is a bit ahead of the United States. China is still the worlds largest smart phone market, even though growth is slow. It accounts for about 30 percent of the global smart phone market, and Chinese smart phone users are expected to jump from 526.8 million to 640 million in 2018, according to eMarketer. And its shoppers are using their instruments to rush to purchase a wide range of goods and services.Nearly half of all Chinas e-commerce sales, totaling $505.7 billion, are made with mobile devices, versus roughly one-quarter in the US, according to eMarketer. By 2019, Chinas mobile sales will account for 71 percent of those sales. “We dont see mobile buying staying unchangeable for the next five years,” said Monica Pearl, eMarketers director of forecasting. “Itll increase because consumer behavior has changed.” Featurerich(功能多样的), cheap smart phones are also helping fuel the boom, she added. “China is, after all, a mobile first market,” explains Brian Buchwald, CEO of consumer intelligence firm Bomoda. So it has been able to go beyond other markets, which mainly used PCs for purchases. Meanwhile, the Chinese government has allowed a free-flowing retail and payments marketplace. “There are no restraints(约束),” said Michael Zakkour, vice president of China / Asia Pacific practice at Tompkins International. And thats good news for WeChat, a messaging app thats only five years old and is offered by the Internet giant Tencent. The app now has 650 million users. And a good mass of them are using the app for mobile shopping. The result is thatWeChat payments, along with Alibabas Alipay, lead the market. Because retailers can easily set up shops inside WeChat, users can plan family vacations, order a taxi or even buy clothes without going anywhere else. China is up to three years ahead of the US in mobile shopping, said Buchwald. “And its moving faster than any other area of the economy. Its the future.”1.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A.China has more goods than the United States.B.Americas new technologies are as good as China.C.Chinas smart phone market is larger than that of the United States.D.American smart phone users will be ahead of Chinese in 2018.2.According to Monica Pearl, why is mobile shopping increasing in China?A.Chinese are fond of using these new technologies.B.Nearly half of all Chinas ecommerce sales are made with mobile devices.C.Smart phones are cheaper than any other country in the world.D.The behavior of customers has changed.3.Which best describes the Buchwalds attitude toward Chinese mobile shopping?A.Doubtful.B.Optimistic.C.Cautious.D.Worried.参考答案: 1.C; 2.D; 3.B解析: 1.细节题。根据“China is still the worlds largest smart phone market, even though growth is slow”可知,哪怕增速有所减缓,中国仍然是世界上最大的智能手机市场,自然也大于美国的智能手机市场。2.推断题。根据第4段“Itll increase because consumer behavior has changed”可知,它只会不断增长,因为消费者的行为已经发生了变化。3.推断题。根据最后一句可知,其发展速度也快于其他任何一个经济领域。未来前景无限,可知Buchwald对移动购物的态度是乐观的。 完形填空Sitting here,I go through my mums old journals,reading them very differently from the first time

on意为“以为基础”,根据词法知识可知,此处应用副词修饰该动词短语。故填mainly。3about解析:考查介词。根据语境可知,他们关心社会问题。care about意为“关心”,符合语境。故填about。4is left解析:考查动词的时态和语态。纵观全文时态可知,此处应使用一般现在时;主语“room”是谓语动词leave的承受者,故用一般现在时的被动语态。故填is left。5educational解析:考查词性转换。根据词法结构可知,此处应用形容词,作定语修饰名词“purposes”。故填educational。6unbearable解析:考查词形转换。根据语境可知,商业利益胜过了教育目的,这使得令人难以忍受的广告遭到了诸多投诉。unbearable是bearable的反义词,意为“难以忍受的”,修饰名词“advertisements”,符合语境。故填unbearable。7though/although解析:考查连词。句意:此外,一些尖刻的言论,尽管非常引人注目,但也许会对年轻人产生误导。根据语境可知,空格处引导让步状语从句,意为“尽管,虽然”。故填though/although。8entertaining解析:考查非谓语动词。“instead of”为介词短语,后接v.ing,即这些节目应承担更多的责任而不只是娱乐大众。故填entertaining。9As解析:考查非限制性定语从句。句意:正如预料的那样,这些节目在形式和作用上都应积极向上。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导非限制性定语从句,在从句中作主语,指代后面的整个主句,意为“正如”。故填As。注意首字母大写。10media解析:考查名词复数。根据空格前的定冠词“the”可知,此处应用名词作主语;此处指所有的媒体,故用medium的复数形式。故填media。、七选五How to Avoid a Boring ConversationWhat excuses should you use to avoid talking to people you dont want to talk to?Here are tips and inoffensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.Go for a refill(续杯)It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill.1. And once you excuse yourself,make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.Pretend bad mood.Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “Im not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you dont mind?” 2. Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.Ask your friend to save you.3 Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important.You will be able to skip a boring chat with a seemingly reasonable excuse.4. You are advised to look away from that person and dont make eye contact,so that you can give powerful hints(暗示) that you find the conversation extremely boring.5. Be sure to tune in to the conversation every now and then so you dont come across as rude.ABehave in an obviously careless way.BJust be sure that the person you are talking to does not offer to accompany you to do so.CDont act too polite in an attempt to draw sympathy.DUse body language to indicate boredom.EYour friend is bound to perform brilliantly in coping with the dull one.FLook elsewhere and pretend that something else has caught your attention.GStuck in an unwanted conversation,how do you get out of it?【解题导语】本文主要介绍了怎样避免无聊的谈话。1B解析:选项B中的so就是指空前的“get a refill”这一行为;同时空后的“make a move fast.as well”与选项B的内容相呼应。2C解析:空后的代词it指代空处前一句中的“Im not in a good mood.Can I talk to you later if you dont mind?”,所以空处及后一句与这一问题有关;同时后一句中的“Say it firmly”与选项C“不要为了获得同情而表现得太礼貌”在内容和语气方面是一致的。3G解析:根据该段的主题句以及空后两句可知,空后的两句话是对选项G这一疑问句的回答,选项G能够引出下文,符合语境。4D解析:根据上文中的主题句都使用祈使句这一特点可知,该段也应用祈使句作主题句;同时根据该段中的第一句可知,把目光从这个人身上移开,不要有眼神交流,这样可以给对方强烈的暗示,使其发现这段谈话极其无聊,这与选项D “使用肢体语言暗示厌烦”相吻合。5F解析:空处起承上启下的作用,且根据该段主题句可知,使用肢体语言暗示厌烦,所以选项F “看向别处并假装你的注意力被其他东西吸引”与之吻合。、短文改错Boys and girls,May I have your fully attention, please?
