单元检测卷(三) [对应学生用书P179] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2021·湖北石首二模)The world has seen many inventions. While most people are proud of those associate with their names, there are things making inventors feel the other way. The pop­up(弹出) advert, by Ethan Zuckerman Pop­up ads are convenient for those who are interested, but most people get annoyed when they are on computers. They may contain computer viruses. Just as we would blame the inventor, the man humbly accepted his invention isn't one of the best. In his essay, Zuckerman wrote about the most hateful thing, “I wrote the code to launch the window and run an ad in it.” The emoticon, by Scott E．Fahlman Emoticons began to occupy screens crazily in 2011 and gained great popularity, especially with young men. It had been four years since Fahlman first used a “smiley face” in a computer message. He created the emoticon as a joke marker. But things are different. “It has gone to places I don't approve of，” he complained to The Wall Street Journal in 2013.“It shouldn't have been created.” The office cubicle(隔间), by Bob Propst In 1968, Bob Propst came up with the idea—office cubicles, something that “would build a futuristic and tidy office style with no real walls or doors and provide a more comfortable environment”. But the man has come to hate what he has invented, as Propst recalled to Fortune at age 80, “They've changed and just become cubicles.” The K­Cup, by John Sylvan It seems everyone has a Keurig coffee maker for K­Cups. John Sylvan invented the K­Cup, aimed at facilitating office life of white­collar workers. Now it's common in houses and companies. However, the single­serve plastic coffee cups aren't eco­friendly. “I feel bad sometimes that I ever did it，” Sylvan admits. But! Good news for Mr Sylvan: Keuring now offers varieties of recyclable K­Cups. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了几种让发明者感到后悔的发明。 1．When was the emoticon invented? A．In 2007.　　　　　　 B．In 2009. C．In 2011. D．In 2013.
