Text 6

W: Who else will be playing
M: Colin, Alice, Jerry…I think Alice might bring one of her friends.
W: Sounds good. Where will we play
M: We can either go to the town sports centre or one of the local schools. I believe they hire out badminton courts.

M: We haven’t checked yet.

M: That would be great.
Text 8
M: Are you looking for something special
W: Yes. I want to buy my dad a nice gift for Father’s Day. I usually couldn’t get him things that he likes, so I want to get it right this time.
M: Well, we have many items that men usually like. Does he use computers much We sell a screen cover that protects the eyes.
W: No, he’s not much interested in technology.
M: How about clothes, then Our shirts and ties are some of our most popular Father’s Day products.
W: That’s what I bought him last year—a nice jacket. He never wore it. But he liked my brother’s gift, which was a camera. He uses it to take many pictures from different parts of the world.
M: Your father probably likes to travel, right
W: That’s true.
M: Then I have a perfect gift for him: a foldable travel bag. It can carry a lot of things, and it’s comfortable to hold. When you aren’t using it, the bag can be folded into a carrying bag that is as small as a wallet.
Text 9
W: Mr White, could you spare me a few minutes to go over the letter I’ve just finished
M: OK. Please sit down. Why did you write a letter in German
W: I made a pen pal, who is a German girl. She always writes to me in English and asks me about college life. But in fact, her English isn’t very good. So I decided to write to her in German. My main purpose of writing the letter is to invite her to come here so that I can show her around.
M: OK, let me have a look.
W: I find it difficult to write letters in German. I started to write the letter yesterday afternoon, but didn’t finish it until this morning. I’m not sure if it’s OK.
M: Oh, your letter is wonderful. Actually, writing letters in German isn’t that difficult. With more practice, you will find it easy.
W: It seems that I should write to my pen pal more often.
M: That’s a good idea.
Text 10
W:I’m here to announce that we will operate a new flight from London Heathrow to the Maldives. We couldn’t be more excited to add this new route to our airline route map. I think many of you know our slogan “See the World Differently”, so the Maldives will surely leave you with unforgettable memories when you take a trip there. Our history began in 1984, when Richard Branson, founder of Virgin Atlantic, couldn’t leave Puerto Rico because his flight was cancelled, and a great idea of establishing a new company appeared in his mind. Shortly afterward, we were able to open 600-plus flights. This is the result we couldn’t have imagined. We fly to and from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Our company is dedicated to the comfort of the passengers. We currently have three different types of cabins: upper class, premium and economy. Recently I received some inside information that the company is going to introduce a new type of cabin: business economy, which will be sold at more affordable prices, compared to the former three. However, its seating capacity is only half of them, so you will have to get the tickets as quickly as you can.

33.A　推理判断题。根据第五段中“The technology’s broader promise is the development of devices that do not need batteries because they can harvest power from LTE signals instead. This in turn would lead to devices that are significantly less expensive and last longer, said Dinesh Bharadia…”和第六段Bharadia的话“‘E-waste, especially batteries, is one of the biggest problems the planet is facing, after climate change,’ Bharadia said.”可知,Bharadia认为可以利用这项技术开发不需要电池的设备,由此推知,电池的减少也就意味着电子垃圾的减少。故选A项。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Mr Hyde,
With our school film festival approaching near, I am writing to invite you to give us a lecture.
Our school film festival this year will be held next month, which is aimed at enriching students’ school life and inspiring them to explore the cultures and ideas behind films. A variety of activities will be organized, ranging from film watching to a film review competition. Since many students are really interested in what takes place behind the scenes, could you spare around two hours to give us a lecture on this topic I’m sure your lecture will become the highlight of our film festival.
I would appreciate it if you could accept my invitation. Looking forward to your reply!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了作者刚上高中时觉得自己不合群。作者参加了排球队,比赛前后,只是静静地坐在看台上,对自己完全没有信心。在学校,没有人和作者说话,作者也不知道如何与同学相处。这些都让作者心烦。
【详解】
1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“从去到回的一路上,我们有说有笑。”可知,第一段可描写作者和其他人开心地坐在一起,作者有了新朋友并且不再紧张。
②由第二段首句内容“我笑了,知道我终于有了朋友,我的学校生活将会更快乐。”可知,第二段可描写作者在有了朋友之后的变化。
2.续写线索:一路有说有笑—不再害怕与人说话—交到朋友—变得更加自信。
One possible version:
All the way there, and all the way back, we talked and laughed. We had a really good time together. It seemed that we had been friends for many years, and I soon realized that I was not afraid to talk to others anymore and I never felt like I didn’t know what to say in a big group of people. I was grateful for this chance to join them because I had friends, and I was sure my school life would be colourful.
I smiled, knowing I finally had friends and my school life would be much happier. When in school, I had friends to play with; when I came across a problem on study, they were always trying to help; when in trouble, I had friends to turn to for help; after school, I had friends to play together. With the help of my friends, I am more confident than before and I have made great progress in my study now. Friends really benefit me a lot.单元素养测评卷(四)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分 37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A [2024·福建省厦门市高一期末]
Watching movies is great for improving your English. And if you choose films that you enjoy watching, you’ll learn English without even realising it! Here are four movies that are perfect for English learners.
Charlotte’s Web (2006)
Story: The power of friendship between a pig(Wilbur)and a spider(Charlotte).
The live-action film, a fine adaptation of E.B. White’s book, will entertain the young audience with cute talking animals and easy-to-follow language. Adults will also be charmed by heartwarming good time and learn to look at the world with curiosity and joy.
Toy Story (1995)
Story: A cartoon film about toys that come to life when children and adults aren’t around.
The storylines are clear and the characters use simple but useful language. Though it’s mainly for kids, Toy Story doesn’t feel childish. The story and jokes also attracted adults, so parents would be more likely to take their children to see the film.
Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971)
Story: Things go wrong when a group of kids get a free tour of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory.
This film is also great for English learners as it is generally easy to follow. And you’ll hear some extracts(选段) from English literature because Willy often quotes well-known writers such as Oscar Wilde and Shakespeare.
The Sound of Music(1965)
Story: A young woman (Maria) becomes the nanny for seven children in a house in the Austrian Alps.
The Sound of Music is a musical and listening to music is one of the best ways to improve your English. Many of the film’s songs have become classics because they’re so catchy.
(　)21.Which movie attracts cartoon lovers most
A.Charlotte’s Web (2006).
B.Toy Story (1995).
C.Charlie & the Chocolate Factory (1971).
D.The Sound of Music (1965).
(　)22.What do Charlie & the Chocolate Factory and The Sound of Music have in common
A.They are preferred by housewives.
B.They are musicals.
C.They are based on classic works.
D.They have children characters.
(　)23.Where is this text probably taken from
A.A music blog. B.A language magazine.
C.A movie poster. D.A toy advertisement.
B [2024·湖北省荆州市荆州中学高一期末]
Jennifer Mauer has needed more willpower than the typical college student to pursue her goal of earning a nursing degree. That willpower bore fruit when Jennifer graduated from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire and became the first in her large family to earn a bachelor’s degree.
Mauer, of Edgar, Wisconsin, grew up on a farm in a family of 10 children. Her dad worked at a job away from the farm, and her mother ran the farm with the kids. After high school, Jennifer attended a local technical college, working to pay her tuition(学费), because there was no extra money set aside for a college education. After graduation, she worked to help her sisters and brothers pay for their schooling.
Jennifer now is married and has three children of her own. She decided to go back to college to advance her career and to be able to better support her family while doing something she loves: nursing. She chose the UW-Eau Claire programme at Ministry Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield because she was able to pursue her four-year degree close to home. She could drive to class and be home in the evening to help with her kids. Jennifer received great support from her family as she worked to earn her degree: her husband worked two jobs to cover the bills, and her 68-year-old mother helped take care of the children at times.
Through it all, she remained in good academic standing and graduated with honours. Jennifer sacrificed(牺牲)to achieve her goal, giving up many nights with her kids and missing important events to study. “Some nights my heart was breaking to have to pick between my kids and studying for exams or papers,” she says. However, her children have learned an important lesson witnessing their mother earn her degree. Jennifer is a first-generation graduate and an inspiration to her family—and that’s pretty powerful.

In a world of constant noise, endless choices, and great complexity, the desire for simplicity has become a necessity. The book Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No, by Bruce Mullen, digs into the deep philosophy of simplicity in decision-making. The interesting title tells readers to grasp the art of clear choices. The book recommends us to put our energies into the definite “Yes” and avoid weakening our efforts with the less important details.
Simplicity in decision-making stresses clearness and efficiency while people are making choices. In a world filled with information overload, using simplicity can lead to better results. When faced with complex decisions, individuals or organizations often struggle to deal with plenty of data, leading to imperfect choices.
By accepting simplicity, decision-makers aim to get the key information, focus on the most related factors, and avoid unnecessary details. This approach encourages us to pick out the main aims, enabling quicker evaluations and conclusions.
Through his personal experiences, Mullen felt the power of simplicity, leading him to make better decisions. This book can also be applied to business planning. Mullen’s exploration into the phrase “yes means yes” showed the importance of clear intention in negotiating life’s crossroads.
Basically, Yes Means Yes, Everything Else Means No is more than just an exploration of simplicity in theory; it’s a practical guide to improve decision-making skills. The author doesn’t only promote the philosophy but equips readers with the skills they need to carry it out effectively. From techniques to prioritize (优先处理) tasks to methods for removing distractions, the book offers practical tools for simplifying the decision-making process. For those seeking to live a life with a clear purpose, this book is a guiding light among the fog of indecision.

Imagine you can open your fridge, open an app on your phone and immediately know which items will go bad soon. This is one of the applications that a new technology developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego would enable.
The technology combines a chip (芯片) integrated into product packaging and a software update on your phone. The phone becomes capable of identifying objects based on signals the chip sends out from specific frequencies, in this case Bluetooth or WiFi. In an industrial setting, a smartphone equipped with the software update could be used as a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader.
The work uses breakthroughs in backscatter (反向散射) communication, which uses signals already generated by your smartphone and re-directs them back in a format your phone can understand. Effectively, this technique uses less power than the latest technology to generate WiFi signals.
The custom chip, which is roughly the size of a grain of sand and costs only a few pennies to produce, needs so little power that it can be entirely powered by LTE signals, a technique for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices. The chip turns Bluetooth signals into WiFi signals, which can in turn be detected by a smartphone with that specific software update.
The technology’s broader promise is the development of devices that do not need batteries because they can harvest power from LTE signals instead. This in turn would lead to devices that are significantly less expensive and last longer, said Dinesh Bharadia, one of the paper’s senior authors.
“E-waste, especially batteries, is one of the biggest problems the planet is facing, after climate change,” Bharadia said.
For future research, the team will integrate this technology into other projects to demonstrate its capabilities, and they also hope to commercialize it, either through a startup or through an industry partner.
(　)32.How does the chip interact with the phone
A.By providing power for the phone.
B.By producing LTE signals for the phone.
C.By giving Bluetooth signals to the phone.
D.By sending WiFi signals back to the phone.
(　)33.What is the potential of the technology according to Bharadia
A.Reducing e-waste.
B.Making batteries cheap.
C.Supplying power to LTE signals.
D.Decreasing the cost of LTE signals.
(　)34.What will the team do in the future
A.Invest in new technologies.
B.Bring the technology to market.
C.Improve the quality of the device.
D.Commercialize more research projects.
(　)35.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.New technology turns smartphones into RFID readers
B.Smartphones need to be equipped with soft updates
C.RFID readers obtain new chips and have new functions
D.Backscatter communication makes the best of smartphones

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The girl who never talked
I never really felt like I fit in. I was a freshman in high school and my only close friend was Bella, whom I had known since kindergarten. Bella is and will always be one of my best friends and we often play together. However, she had other close friends too, but I didn’t. I was on the volleyball team, and on the court I knew exactly who I was and where I was supposed to be. I loved all of my teammates, but when we were sitting in the stands before and after games I would just sit there quietly, totally unsure of myself.
At school, no one spoke to me and I didn’t know how to get along with them. It seemed like the only time anyone talked to me was just to jokingly say, “You are so quiet!…do you ever talk ” I wanted to talk, but I just couldn’t find the words. I never felt like I knew what to say in a big group of people. All of these made me upset.
One Saturday after our game, Bella was supposed to come over and spend the night at my house. We always had a lot of fun together. I wished that I could talk to the other girls the way I talked to her. But before we left the gym that day, some of the other volleyball girls invited her to go to the movies with them. Since Bella had already made plans with me, they asked if I would like to go to the movies with them too. I agreed and was happy to have a chance to join them.
One of the mums drove us, and we all piled into the back seat of her Suburban-Rhiannon, Destinee, Christine, Bella, and me. I was kind of nervous at first, but once it was just us five, I came out of my shell (壳). For the first time in my life, I really felt like I was a part of the conversation, instead of just sitting there listening. It turned out that I had a lot to say.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
All the way there, and all the way back, we talked and laughed.

Paragraph 2:
I smiled, knowing I finally had friends and my school life would be much happier.
