Unit 3 The Million Pound Bank Note .阅读理解AJust as the summer draws to a close, I will finally get away on holiday: I have rented a cottage deep in the mountains at the end of the month. What attracted me most was not so much its beautiful countryside, but the word of caution offered by previous visitors. “Please note，” they said, “there is no WiFi here or mobile phone coverage, unless you climb to the top of the nearest mountain.”Thats wonderful! A week without feeling the need to check my email for the handful of important messages. While you can always choose not to check your email while on holiday, how many of us have the willpower to ignore the arrival of yet another message, or how many of us can risk losing trust from your boss?There is good news for the employees. The managers of the German car giant Daimler have offered their 100,000 employees an app that automatically deletes all emails sent to their work accounts while they are on holiday. Alternatively, they can be forwarded to a colleague. “Our employees should relax on holiday and not read worklife emails，” said Wilfried Porth, Daimlers board member for human resources. “With Mail on Holiday， they start back after the holidays with a clean desk. There is no traffic jam in their mailbox. That is an emotional relief.”The idea of a regular digital detox(禁令) is catching on. The Germans believe that it restores a more sensible worklife balance and helps prevent employee “burnout”. Volkswagens phone servers have stopped sending emails to employees BlackBerrys during the evenings. Bosses at Deutsche Telekom agreed to stop sending emails to staff during the evenings, weekends and holidays. Germanys labour ministry, meanwhile, has also instructed its managers to stop emailing or calling staff outofhours except in an emergency.So, good for Daimler. It recognizes that too many of us have been unable to look up from our phones or iPads. I cant wait to get up to that cottage without any internet connection.Though doubtless after a day or two, Ill be climbing up the nearest mountain, desperately searching for a mobile signal.语篇导读本文为说明文，介绍了一款APP，其功能是过滤邮件，让员工享有不受工作邮件干扰的假期。1What makes the author happy about his vacation?ABeautiful scenery.BNo mobile signals.CAccess only to vital emails.DDisappearance from the boss.解析 B细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句可知，没有WiFi，没有手机信号覆盖，可以不受电话和工作邮件的打扰，故选B项。2What is the advantage of “Mail on Holiday”？AIt can help clean desks.BIt can delete work accounts.CIt can provide traffic information.DIt can forward emails to workmates.解析 D细节理解题。根据第三段they can be forwarded to a colleague可知，此款APP的功能是可以将邮件转寄给同事，故选D项。3Whats the purpose of digital detox?ATo reduce emails.BTo stop using phones in the evenings.CTo call for help in case of emergency.DTo keep balance between work and life.解析 D细节理解题。 根据第四段第二句可知，digital detox能让员工在工作和生活之间重新建立一种合理的平衡，也有助于避免让员工过度劳累，故选D项。4What do we know about the author from the last paragraph?AHe finds the cottage boring.BHe needs digital service badly.CHe enjoys life without phones.DHe likes climbing the mountains.解析 B推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者强调的是最后一句，即使去了没有信号的地方度假，过不了几天也会拼命地去搜索手机信号，故选B项。BIf youre ever reading a book or watching a movie and get the clear feeling that youve come across the story beforeor even better, can predict exactly whats going to happen nextthere could be a good reason for that.Researchers from the Computational Story Laboratory at the University of Vermont studied the complete text of some 1,737 fiction works available on Project Gutenberg, an online collection of more than 50,000 digital books in the public area. They discovered that English literature consist of just six kinds of emotional arcs(情感弧线) that make up nearly all of the most wellknown stories. By analyzing the sentiment(情感)of language used in these texts, the researchers were able to show the emotional ups and downs for the stories as a whole. They discovered that negative words like “poverty”， “dead”， and “punishment” dragged the emotion down, while positive terms like “love”， “peace”， and “friend” brought it up.According to the researchers, those six core emotional arcs are：“Rags to riches” (An ongoing emotional rise)“Tragedy, or riches to rags” (An ongoing emotional fall)“Man in a hole” (A fall followed by a rise)“Icarus” (A rise followed by a fall)“Cinderella” (Risefallrise)“Oedipus” (Fallrisefall)Interestingly, based on download statistics from Project Gutenberg, the researchers say the most popular stories are ones that use more complex emotional arcs, with the Cinderella and Oedipus arcs registering the most downloads. Also popular are works that combine these core arcs together in new ways within one story, such as two “Man in a hole” arcs stuck together, or the “Cinderella” arc coupled with a tragic ending.语篇导读本文为说明文。当你看一本书时，你是否经常会感到情节似曾相识？又或者看见开头就猜到了结局？据说，所有英文小说都逃不过这六种套路5Readers often feel familiar when reading a new story because stories have similar _.Abeginnings Bendings Ccharacters Demotional arcs解析 D细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知，英语文学中只包含六种情感弧线，而几乎所有的名著都是由这六种情感弧线构成的，故选D项。6How did researchers carry out their study?ABy conducting surveys among readers.BBy reading books borrowed from libraries.CBy analyzing works from an online collection.DBy interviewing authors of the wellknown stories.解析 C细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，佛蒙特大学的研究员们从古登堡计划(内含5万多本公版电子书的线上书库)上找到并研究了大约1 737部小说的完整文本，故选C项。7Which set of words may drag emotion down?AHope, fortune and riches.
