unit 2 cloning learning about language课时作业i阅读理解aamazon is breaking into physical retail in a new way.the online retail giant revealed a new kind of physical store concept in a video published on monday.the store，called amazon go，doesnt work like a typical walmart or supermarket.instead，its designed so that shoppers will use an app，also called amazon go，to automatically add the products that they plan to buy to a digital shopping cart by scanning a qr code(二维码).they can then walk out of the building without waiting in a checkout line because amazon will charge their amazon account and send them a receipt.the first amazon go store is located in seattle，where amazon is headquartered.for years，there have been rumors the ecommerce company would expand its dominance from digital to physical shopping.amazon began experimenting with physical bookstores a year ago，but amazon go may mark its boldest bet on physical ones yet.by removing much of the staff needed to operate a store，amazon keeps costs lower than traditional competitors.its also in a strong position to bring together data on its customers shopping habits online and offline to make better suggestions in all situations.however，amazons move deeper into physical retail shops comes in a sensitive political climate.the company could be perceived as being a threat to some of the 3.4 million americans who work as cashiers，according to the bureau of labor statistics.on the campaign trail，donald trump repeatedly criticized amazon and its founder jeff bezos for “getting away with murder taxwise” and “having a huge antitrust(反垄断的) problem”.will the presidentelect add “job killer” to the list of criticisms? amazons effort to launch a new kind of retail store predates(在之前) the rise of donald trump.“four years ago we asked ourselves：what if we could create a shopping experience with no lines and no checkout？could we push the boundaries of computer vision and machine learning to create a store where customers could simply take what they want and go？” the company says on an informational page about amazon go.for now，amazon is starting slow.the amazon go is only open to amazon employees in our beta program，and is scheduled to open to the public in early 2017.1.in amazon go，people can .a.buy products by paying cashb.buy carts without scanning a qr codec.have no bother to check out and queued.use an app to wait in a checkout line2.what can we infer from the third paragraph?a.amazon has dominated the physical bookstores.b.amazon can contribute to reducing the cost of staff.c.amazon manages to take the place of physical shopping.d.amazon can ignore each customers advice in all situations.3.the reason why donald trump repeatedly criticized amazon go is that amazon go .a.would result in a political crisisb.would threaten the career of cashiersc.may result in a huge antitrustd.is no.1 job killer in the list of criticisms4.the main purpose of writing the passage is .a.to introduce the amazon go storeb.to explain how amazon go worksc.to arouse peoples interest in amazond.to indicate trumps attitude to amazonbafter much thought，i came up with a brilliant plan.i worked out a way for rich to meet my mother and win him over.in fact，i arranged it so my mother would want to cook a meal especially for him.rich was not only not chinese and he was a few years younger than i was.and unfortunately，he looked much younger with his curly red hair，smooth pale skin，and the splash of orange freckles(雀斑) across his nose.he was a bit on the short side，compactly built.in his dark business suits，he looked nice but easily forgettable，which was why i didnt notice him the first year we worked together at the firm.but my mother noticed everything.“so what do you think of rich？” i finally asked，holding my breath.she tossed the eggplant in the hot oil，angry hissing sound.“so many spots on his face，” she said.“they are freckles.freckles are good luck.” i said a bit too heatedly in trying to raise my voice above the noise of the kitchen.“oh？” she said innocently.“yes，the more spots the better.”she considered this a moment and then smiled and spoke in chinese，“when you were young，you got the chicken pox.so many spots，you had to stay home for ten days.so lucky，you thought.”i couldnt save rich in the kitchen.and i couldnt save him later at the dinner table.when i offered rich a fork，he insisted on using the slippery ivory chopsticks.halfway between his plate and his open mouth，a large chunk of redcooked eggplant fell on his brand new white shirt.and then he helped himself to big portions of the shrimp and snow peas，not realizing he should have taken only a polite spoonful.he declined the new greens，the tender and expensive leaves of bean plants.he thought he was being polite by refusing seconds，when he should have followed my fathers example，who made a big show of taking small portions of seconds，thirds and even fourths，always saying he couldnt resist another bite and then groaning he was so full he thought he would burst.but the worst happened when rich criticized my mothers cooking and he didnt even know what he had done.as is the chinese cooks custom，my mother always made modest remarks about her own cooking.that night she chose to direct it toward her famous steamed pork and preserved vegetable dish，which she always served with special pride.“ai！this dish not salty enough，no flavor，” she complained，after tasting a small bite.this was our familys cue to eat more and proclaim it the best she had ever made.but before we could do so，rich said，“you know，all it needs is a little soy sauce.” and he proceeded to pour a riverfull of the salty black stuff on the china plate，right before my mothers horrified eyes.and even though i was hoping throughout the dinner that my mother would somehow see richs kindness，his sense of humor and boyish charm.i knew he had failed miserably in her eyes.rich obviously had a different opinion on how the evening had gone.when we got home，i was still shuddering，remembering how rich had firmly shaken both my parents hands with that same easy familiarity he used with nervous new clients.“linda，tim，” he said，“well see you again.” my parents names are lindo and tin jong，and nobody except a few older family friends ever calls them by their first names.“what did she say when you told her？” i knew he was referring to our getting married.“i never had a chance，” i said，which was true.how could i have told my mother i was getting married，when at every possible moment we were alone，she seemed to remark on how pale and ill he looked.rich was smiling.“how long does it take to say，mom，dad，i am getting married？”“you dont understand.you dont understand my mother.”5.which is not the reason why the author didnt tell her mother she was getting married?a.she didnt have a chance to tell her mother.b.her mother disliked richs freckled face.c.mother was impressed by his boyish charm and humor.d.she was shocked by richs violation of cultural taboo.6.which of the following is not closely related to cultural differences in the story?a.“ai！this dish not salty enough，no flavor，” she complained，after tasting a small bite.b.rich obviously had a different opinion on how the evening had gone.c.halfway between his plate and his open mouth，a large chunk of redcooked eggplant fell on his brand new white shirt.d.“linda，tim，” he said，“well see you again.”7.what does the underlined part in the story really mean?a.father made a big show of his preference for the dish by helping himself to the dishes more times，which rich didnt follow.b.rich behaved politely by not following father who kept having more servings of greens.c.father had a good appetite for more portions of greens while rich had good table manners of having one serving.d.rich didnt appear polite because he didnt follow father，who made a big show of his great appetite by eating more until he couldnt eat.8.what does the underlined word “shuddering” most probably mean?a.hesitating. b.regretting.c.shaking. d.reflecting.9.what can be the best title of the story?a.rich met my motherb.east vs westc.chinese family gatheringd.of table manners10.the author wrote this story in a/an tone.a.poetic b.humorousc.pessimistic d.objectiveii. 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)请认真阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。people join groups to meet basic needs and feel like we belong.groups provide a significant way to understand and define ourselvesboth through groups we feel a connection to and those we do not.as steady social units，groups also help build shared value system and are key to the structure of society.sociologists have built on the distinction between the ways people interact with each other to distinguish between two types of groups：primary and secondary.the primary group is usually fairly small and is made up of individuals who generally engage face to face in longterm，emotional ways.this group is usually made up of significant othersthose individuals who have the most impact on our socialization.the best example of a primary group is the family.secondary groups are often larger and impersonal.they may also be task focused and time limited.these groups serve a practical purpose rather than an expressive one，meaning that their role is more goal or task targeted than emotional.an example of a secondary relationship is that of a stockbroker(股票经纪人) and her clients.the stockbroker likely relates to her clients in terms of business only.she probably will not socialize with her clients or hug them.primary relationships are most common in small and traditional societies，while secondary relationships are the norm in large and industrial societies.secondary relationships often result in loneliness and isolation.this does not mean，however，that secondary relationships are bad.further，primary group relationships can evolve out of secondary group relationships.this happens in many work settings.people on the job often develop close relationships with coworkers as they come to share complaints，jokes，gossip，and satisfactions.a groups size can also determine how its members behave and relate.a small group is small enough to allow all of its members to directly interact.examples of small groups include families，friends，discussion groups，and athletic teams.people are more likely to experience primary relationships in small group settings than in large settings.as a group increases in size，its members participate and cooperate less，and are more likely to be dissatisfied.a larger groups members may even be stopped，for example，from publicly helping out victims in an emergency.in this case，people may feel that because so many others are available to help.similarly，members in larger groups are more likely to work less because they expect others to

how，what and when people buy. if you need new clothes but dont want to go out and waste half a day，or are tired of overenthusiastic shop assistants，your smartphone or computer is here to save the day.however，even though online shopping has grown massively in popularity，a new study found that the majority of generation z(those born between the mid1990s and mid2000s) prefer to shop in traditional physical stores.generation z is the first “digitally native” group to grow up not knowing a world without smartphones or other digital devices. but when it comes to shopping，physical stores are still their first choice.take a look at the charts. do you like to buy clothes in the retailers?写作内容1.用约30个单词概述上文材料的内容；2.用约120个单词简要分析网上购物和在实体店购物的利弊并说明你的购物倾向。写作要求1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2.作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称；3.不必写标题。评分标准内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。 参考答案1.c细节理解题。第一、二段主要说明了网上零售巨头亚马逊开创了实体零售店的新模式，并将其命名为amazon go。该商店不是传统意义上的超市，它只需要消费者下载一款同名手机软件即可刷二维码进行购物，不需要排队不需要用现金结账。故选c。2.b推理判断题。第三段主要讲了亚马逊对于新型实体商店的尝试以及该商店相比于传统商店的优势。降低雇佣员工成本是其中的一个优势，故选b。3.c细节理解题。根据第四段可知，亚马逊开创新型实体零售店这一做法可能会牵涉到敏感的政治问题，根据数据统计，这一举措会对很多收银员的就业构成威胁。特朗普之所以持批评态度，是因为亚马逊这样做会带来“逃税、反垄断”问题，故选c。4.a写作意图题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了amazon go这种新型实体零售店的有关情况，所以选a。语篇解读本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者带未婚夫rich见家人，在妈妈做饭时和妈妈讨论rich的情景，以及在就餐时，rich所做的一系列的让作者的妈妈对他不满意的事情。5.c细节理解题。根据文章第四段“she tossed the eggplant in the hot oil，angry hissing sound.so many spots on his face， she said.”和倒数第三段“i never had a chance， i said，which was true.”以及rich在餐桌上的表现和道别时直呼作者父母姓名可知a、b、d项都是作者没有告诉妈妈她要结婚的原因。而作者的妈妈并没有对rich的魅力和幽默印象深刻，因此不是作者没有告诉妈妈她要结婚的原因。故选c。6.c推理判断题。根据常识，在吃饭时，饭菜掉在了衬衫上与文化的不同没有关系，只是个人的行为问题。故选c。7.d句意理解题。根据划线句子可知，rich以为自己拒绝了是很有礼貌的，但是他本应该像作者的父亲一样，通过吃尽可能多的东西来展示自己的食欲。故选d。8.c词义猜测题。根据文章划线词所在的句子可知，作者回到家后，仍旧记得rich和她的父母分别时，像对自己的客户说话一样，握着作者的父母的手，喊着他们的名字，这是违反文化禁忌的，因此作者想到这些会感到颤栗。hesitate犹豫；regret后悔，遗憾；shake颤抖，战栗；reflect反映，反思。故选c。9.a标题归纳
