【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ustomers in front of me, being served, turned around and looked at me sympathetically and the customer behind me called to the staff person, “You should start here,” pointing at me. He was, well, ignored. If someone asked me, What is the most important rule to follow in America? I would reply without hesitation. Wait your turn at all times. Wherever you go here in this country, you will find people waiting in a line quietly to get anything: whether in the supermarkets, department stores, bus stops, or gas stations, it39。s just a matter of waiting your turn. In a larger sense, wait your turn is more than just a guideline — it is a very basic rule that reflects the fundamental value of the western cultures. But in some situations your turn does not always e based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store. Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.（1）What happened to the author at the store? was illtreated by a customer. wasn39。t served upon his order. was asked to be served later. was asked to do others a favor.（2）What does the underlined word this in the last paragraph refer to? belief. culture. experience. rule.（3）Why did the author write the text? emphasize his kindness to others. introduce some western cultures to us. express his belief and his feeling. show his disbelief in Queuing Rule.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文，講述了作者在買螃蟹時(shí)排隊(duì)很久，受到不公平待遇的經(jīng)歷，借此表現(xiàn)了西方文化的特點(diǎn)——要遵守次序，同時(shí)也表明了作者的感受和建議。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“I was ready to be served, but the staff person went to the end of the line and began to help a couple of ladies with snail (蝸牛).”可知，我準(zhǔn)備好了接受服務(wù)，但服務(wù)員走到了隊(duì)尾給幾個(gè)想買蝸牛的女士提供了服務(wù)，因此輪到作者的次序時(shí)，作者并沒有得到服務(wù)。故選B。 （2）考查代詞指代。根據(jù)最后一段中的“But in some situations your turn does not always e based on when you get there and how long you have waited in line, just like my case at the store.”可知，在某些情況下，是否能輪到你的次序并不取決于你幾點(diǎn)到這里、排了多久的隊(duì)，就像作者的情況一樣，因此“this”指代的是作者的親身經(jīng)歷。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷?？v觀全文可知，本文講述了作者在買螃蟹時(shí)排了很久隊(duì)卻受到不公平待遇的經(jīng)歷。再根據(jù)最后一段中的“Even though this did not often happen, it did make me feel upset.”可知，作者認(rèn)為這種經(jīng)歷并不經(jīng)常發(fā)生，但仍使作者感到比較失望，表達(dá)了作者的想法和感受。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，代詞指代和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇故事類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進(jìn)行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。5．閱讀理解 Google39。s new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It es with a case that has a clip (夾子), but it39。s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2inch by 2inch camera, with a threehour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (計(jì)算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. Once it learns that there39。s a face you see frequently, it39。ll try to get nice photos of those faces, said Juston Payne, the device39。s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved training it to know what happiness looks like. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child39。s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced, Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we39。re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.（1）What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? enables easy Internet access. is equipped with tough glass. can be worn on your clothing. allows of handsfree photography.（2）What does the underlined word candid in Paragraph 2 mean? ....（3）What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? advance in technology. popularity of the Internet. screen for viewing and editing. rise of the smartphone industry.（4）What does the text mainly talk about? gadgets in the age of apps. intelligence in daily Life. new digital camera from Google. alternative way to photograph.【答案】 （1）D（2）B（3）A（4）C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了谷歌公司推出了一款叫Clips的新相機(jī)，并對照相機(jī)的各種功能和使用進(jìn)行了介紹。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own”可知，谷歌開發(fā)的這款相機(jī)使用人工智能來拍照，不需要你動手按鍵，它就可以幫助你記錄美好的精彩瞬間。故選D。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ike when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.”比如孩子做了一些可愛的事情，你可能來不及拿出智能手機(jī)。可知，畫線句表示：這款相機(jī)能解決手機(jī)不能及時(shí)抓拍小孩子所做的短暫又可愛的事。candid moments意為“短暫”的時(shí)刻。故選B。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段“‘This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced, ’ Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we39。re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets”可知，這款相機(jī)依靠先進(jìn)的科技和人工智能等使得它成為了可能，成為了可以幫助人們記錄美好瞬間的工具。故選A。 （4）考查主旨大意。根據(jù)第一段中的“Google39。s new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device.”可知，本文主要講述了谷歌開發(fā)的一款新的照相機(jī)，并對照相機(jī)的各種功能和使用進(jìn)行了介紹。故選C。 【點(diǎn)評】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和主旨大意三個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇科技類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，概括歸納，從而選出正確答案。6．閱讀理解TEACH AND TRAVEL: USE OUR SPONSORSHIP TO BECOME ACERTIFIED TEACHER IN WEEKSwhere the world meetsWHAT39。S INCLUDED IN THE SPONSORED ANGLOTEFL (TEACHING ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE) SCHOLARSHIP:●A partly sponsored, 120hour online TEFL training course●210 hours of reallife teaching experience● A TEFL certificate upon pletion of the Scholarship●Full board during Angloville programs (three meals a day)HOW IT WORKS:APPLYChoose your venues (地點(diǎn)) and apply online REFUNDABLE CONFIRMATION FEEPay 69 EUR confirmation fee (50 EUR Refundable (可退還的) on Completion)TEACHING PRACTICEGet Access to TEFL course amp。 attend Teaching Practice with AnglovilleTYPES OF 39。TEACHING EXPERIENCE39。
