Unit 4 EarthquakesⅠ.阅读理解AGerman company DHL recently announced it is starting a new drone(无人驾驶飞机) delivery service to get “ur gently needed goods,”such as life-saving medicines,to certain remote locations.The company’s plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist,an island in Germany’s North Sea,where more traditional delivery options(such as ferries or trains) aren’t always available.The drone service is a continuation of DHL’s“parcelcopter research project,”which was launched in December 2013.But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden(初次的)flight,DHL officials said in a statement.For one thing,they’ve been improved to undergo the high winds and rain that they may face over the North Sea.For another,the parcelcopter 2.0 can reach altitudes of 164 feet and can fly as fast as 40 miles per hour.The drone is also capable of flying for ext ended periods of time—about 45 minutes before needing to be recharged—enabling it to make the roughly 7.5-mile journey to Juist.The drone can carry loads of up to 2.6 pounds(1.2 kilograms).The drone itself weighs 11 pounds(5kg).Thanks to a new autopilot feature,the maiden flights of the ne w and improved drones will be completely automated,even during takeoff andlanding.However,drone pilots will be standing by at a mobile ground station in Norddeich,on the coast of mainland Germany,just in case something goes wrong.Once the drones land at Juist,the parcels will be delivered to their recipients(收件人) by a human courier(急件递送者).For now,the company will be using the drones,only when other delivery options aren’t available,and no plans are currently in the works to incorporate the parcelcopters into normal day-to-day deliveries,according to company officials.1.To meet what requirement will DHL probably use the drones?A.A ton of life necessities need to be sent to a village.B.An important parcel needs to be sent to a man in Juist.C.Some medicines are urgently needed in the city hospital.D.A family ne eds to go to Juist when ferries aren’t available.2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A.The DHL drones’ first flight.B.The purpose of the DHL drones.C.The disadvantages of the DHL drones.D.The improvements on the initial DHL drones.3.The new drone .A.will be much lighterB.can deliver much heavier parcelsC.can send parcels directly to recipientsD.will be fully automatic during the whole flight4.What can we infer from the text?A.The drones have been in use since December 2013.B.The drones won’t be widely used in the near future.C.The drones will replace human couriers in the future.D.The drones will replace traditional delivery options soon.B(2016·福建毕业班单科质检)Want to help fight global warming?Take off your tie,says the Italian healthmin istry.It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.“Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,”the ministry said in a statement.“Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.”It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no ties during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts ofItaly this week.The move echoes(回应) a similar action from Italy’s biggest oil group,ENI,which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.The tie makers,however,were left hot under the collar.“Italy confirms that it is a strange country,”Flavio Cima said angrily in aletter to financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore under the headline:“I,tie maker,am responsible for global warming.”“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle,using cars,consumingfuel,heating and cooling our homes at leisure.On one condition:we should not wear atie while we do so,”he wrote.“I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.”Italy is one of the European Union’s worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出) their greenhouse gas emission(排放) targets.5.What’s the purpose of the move of taking off ties?A.To dress casually.B.To fight global warming.C.To keep the body temperature.D.To im prove working conditions.6.Who first encouraged employees to take off ties?A.ENI.B.Flavio Cima.C.A financial daily.D.The Italian health ministry.7.What does the underlined part “hot under the collar” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A.Angry.B.Speechless.C.Delighted.D.Puzzled.8.Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima?A.He stands by the oil group.B.He agrees with the ministry.C.He admits his responsibility.D.He argues against taking off ties.Ⅱ.七选五阅读A laugh track,sometimes called canned laughter,is a collection of pre-recorded audience laughter and applause sounds added to television programs during post-production.The main purpose of the track is to trigger(激发) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a tapedsitcom(situation comedy). 1 Theref ore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.2 The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after theshow’s taping.Until that time,other radio and television comedies used a live studioaudience or no canned laughter at all.In 1953,a sound engineer named Charley Douglass invented the Laff Box,a small electronic device(装置) containing numerous sounds of recorded laughter and applause.It is said that Charley Douglass selected almost all of his laugh track material from in-studio recordings of several different comedy shows. 3During the 1970s,many sitcoms chose to get rid of the practice altogether or mix live audience reactions with the canned laughter.Filming a show in front of a live audience became a symbol of honour. 4 Live audiences did not always provide a usable response,especially after a long day of retakes.Today,the same company created by Charley Douglass offers an improved digital version of the original Laff Box. 5 Most sitcoms produced today are still recorded in front of a live audience,but a more subtle laugh track can be used to improve weak responses.A.However,there was a problem.B.The belief is that laughter creates laughter.C.The first known use of a recorded laugh track is said to be in 1950.D.The effective use of canned laughter is considered more of an art than a science.E.Douglass recorded different styles of laughter and applause without the sound of dialogue.F.If this is true,audience reactions in modern sitcoms may have actually been recorded several years ago.G.In addition to the original laughter and applause,there are t racks for foreign audiences and children’s shows.〚导学号92550036〛Ⅲ.书面表达(2017·安徽“皖南八校”第二次联考)假如你是学生会主席李华,为了让外国人了解中国传统文化,学生会将进行“唐诗吟诵大赛”(Tang Poetry Recitation

Unit 4 EarthquakesⅠ.阅读理解(2018·台州三校联考)Dropping your smartphone when taking a selfie (自拍照) could soon be less risky，says specialty glass maker Corning.For more than 160 years，Corning has applied its unique technology in specialty glass to develop products that have created new industries and changed people’s lives.Corning’s work in specialty glass dates back to 1879，when the company produced the glass used in the famous Thomas Edison lightbulb (灯泡)．The company’s next generation of Gorilla Glass has come a long—the material used in more than 70% of smartphone screens，including on Samsung and Apple products.Corning said Gorilla Glass 5 could survive more than 80% of drops from as high as 1.6 meters.Broken or cracked screens are the number one cause of smartphone repairsandcustomercomplaintsglobally，followed by overheat.The new glass was tested on rough surfaces—phone models were dropped from a height of 1.6 meters onto a sheet of sandpaper.Some of the phones tested survived over 20 hard drops in the lab.Typically，most phone drops are from between waist and shoulder height.As well as drops，the company said it was twice as good at resisting scratch (划痕) and other damage compared to what’s currently on the market.Smartphone producers are expected to market products with the new glass within the next few months.“We’ve been working with our closest customers for quite some time now，”Corning’s vice president and general manager John Bayne said.“And there’s huge interest in this product for obvious reasons.”【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(建议用时16′)A[2017·惠州调研]Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr Jean－Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast，”Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit_well_with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic W1toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it：“You don't have to feed it, you don't have to walk it, it won't make a mess W2in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to P1pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.It's not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart W3machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. It's the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2014, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about P2how robotic pets could affect our attitudes W4towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesn't need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings，” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation W5who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets needn't have a heartbeat might not be a far－fetched dream.篇章导读：随着科技的发展，一种新的宠物即将出现：机器人宠物。
