One of the best ways to teach and to learn how to speak the English language is to actually watch American and British television shows and some learning channels. We are interested in discovering what English learners are watching to help them improve their skills outside of the classroom. US political drama series House of Cards is the most popular TV show among our 6,000 global survey participants. The rise of on-demand streaming services has enabled viewers all over the world to watch shows without having to wait for them to be broadcast in their country, which explains why shows created especially for online providers, such as House of Cards, have become so universally popular. 刷阅读理解 8 Perhaps one of the biggest surprising success stories is Downton Abbey, which is one of the most-watched British TV shows of all time. The show, which explores the lives of an aristocratic （贵族的） British family and their servants during the early twentieth century, has been watched by more than 120 million people worldwide. The creators didn’t expect the subject matter to resonate （引起共鸣） so well with global viewers, but most of the stories are about emotional situations that everyone can relate to, no matter where they are in the world. Television programmes may be a fun way to improve vocabularies and build familiarity with genuine dialogues and different cultures, but in recent years there have been complaints that actors are mumbling（含糊地说）their lines. Even native English speakers are struggling to understand what they are watching on screen. This is partly down to the desire for actors to appear “genuine” and capture the true features of a character. 刷阅读理解 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了一项研究发现电视节目除了是一种娱乐方式之外，同时也是一种学习英语的有趣方式。 1.Why has House of Cards become so popular according to this passage?( ) D A.It is only shown on TV. B.Its plots interest everyone. C.It is about the life of politicians.

B.The actors’ unclear lines. C.The dramas’ bad plots. D.The dramas’ bad lines. 解析 细节理解题。根据第五段中的but in recent years there have been complaints that actors are mumbling their lines和Even native English speakers are struggling to understand… 可知，观众抱怨演员的台词说得含糊不清，甚至连以英语为母语的人也很难理解。因而，近年来演员含糊不清的台词给通过电视节目学习语言的人带来了困难。 刷阅读理解 11 3.What is probably the purpose of the research?( ) C A.To show that people like American and British TV shows. B.To introduce viewers to the world’s most popular TV series. C.To prove that television shows are helpful in learning English. D.To explain the function of television shows. 解析 推理判断题。文章第一段开门见山，明确指出our research finds that many people are using television shows as both a form of entertainment and a way to help them learn English；第二段第一句指出该研究旨在探究英语学习者在课外通过观看何种节目来提升语言技能。综上所述，该研究的目的在于证明电视节目对学习英语有帮助。 刷阅读理解 12 4.What is the text mainly about?( ) A A.A fun way to learn English.

If you don’t know what ChatGPT is or dislike the idea of working with a robot, enjoy your retirement. So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper. Undoubtedly, it can serve as a useful reminder of where the digital world’s limitations lie. Several recent studies highlighted the enduring value of this ancient technology in several different aspects. A study by Vicki Morwitz of Columbia Business School, Yanliu Huang of Drexel University and Zhen Yang of California State University, Fullerton, finds that paper calendars produce different behaviours from digital calendars. Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an app, and they were more likely to stick to those plans. Simple dimensions seem to count. The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters. 刷阅读理解 16 Here is another study from Maferima Touré-Tillery of the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and Lili Wang of Zhejiang University. In their study, the researchers showed people an ad for a bookseller and then asked them to select some of the books that were being promoted. Those using paper to fill out the questionnaire chose more highbrow （高雅的） books on average than those using the tablet. The researchers believe that people make virtuous decisions on paper because it feels more significant than a digital screen. In a study from 2017 researchers found that people assigned a greater value to the physical version of a product than its digital one. They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online. Technology can close the gap between paper and screens, but not entirely. Mastery of digital technologies is vital. But a sense of touch, authenticity and humanity still matter. 刷阅读理解 17 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。研究发现，数字化是时代发展的趋势，但纸制品的存在提醒人们数字世界仍有局限性，而纸质品有其恒久的价值。 1.How does the author lead in the topic?( ) D A.By telling a story. B.By giving examples. C.By raising questions. D.By describing a situation. 解析 推理判断题。根据第一段中的So, as for the present you should get for your manager this festive season, a good choice may be anything made of paper.可知，作者提到要给经理送礼物时，用纸做成的任何东西都是一个不错的选择这一情形，从而引出本文阐述的话题，即纸制品有其恒久的价值。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 18 2.Why can paper calendars make users stick to plans better?( ) D A.They are a better reminder. B.They can show more detailed plans. C.They provide chances for people to practise writing. D.They provide a better view of many days’ plans at a time. 解析 细节理解题。根据第二段中的Users of old-fashioned calendars made more detailed project plans than those looking at an app, and they were more likely to stick to those plans.及The ability to see lots of days at once on a paper calendar matters.可知，使用纸制日历可以同时查看很多天的项目计划，所以使用者更有可能坚持这些计划。故选D项。 刷阅读理解 19 3.Which of the following does paper influence based on Paragraph 3?( ) A A.Decisions. B.Sympathy. C.Efficiency. D.Responsibility. 解析 细节理解题。根据第三段中的Those using paper to fill out the questionnaire chose more highbrow books on average than those using the tablet.The researchers believe that people make virtuous decisions on paper because it feels more significant than a digital screen.可知，研究人员认为，使用纸张的人更有可能作出品德更高的决定。由此可知，纸对人们作出的决定有影响。文中的chose和decisions是关键信息。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 20 4.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?( ) B A.Paper posters will greatly promote sales online. B.E-magazines are thought less valuable than paper ones. C.Seeing others buy reading materials will increase one’s purchasing desire. D.People prefer items made of paper instead of other materials. 解析 推理判断题。根据第四段中的people assigned a greater value to the physical version of a product than its digital one以及They found shoppers were willing to pay more for reading materials in printed form than those they could only download online.可知，与数字产品相比，人们对实体产品赋予了更高的价值，相比那些只能在线下载的材料，消费者更愿意消费印制的阅读材料，由此可推断，人们认为电子材料的价值不如纸质的材料。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 21 B [湖南师大附中、长沙一中2024期中联考] People have been predicting the death of cable TV （有线电视） for a long time, but this really might be it. Just a decade ago, nearly all Americans paid for packages of TV channels from cable or satellite companies. That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV services is approaching 50%, according to expert Craig Moffett and S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Kagan research group. For comparison, cellphones were around for decades before the percentage of Americans who didn’t have a landline （座机） at home reached 50%, around 2017.Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV would go the way of the landline. I promise you that it was not necessarily obvious. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lot of people rich die even harder. And don’t forget that some new technology habits catch on fast but don’t stick. 刷阅读理解 22 What may be a final drop in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shows that technology can change deep-rooted ways of doing things slowly, and then suddenly. Ian Olgeirson, research director at Kagan who has been following America’s TV market for about 20 years, told me that he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans. Olgeirson and other TV experts I’ve been speaking to didn’t single out a turning point in cable TV’s big drop. They said the downward trend was more like a series of progressive changes piling up. It’s clear that the cable TV system that for decades brought joy and headaches to tens of millions of Americans is wearing thin.The wild card is whether Americans keep turning away from cable and satellite TV relatively slowly, or whether it will fail suddenly. 刷阅读理解 23 I have always loved TV.I felt like a real grown-up when I first started to pay a huge bill for television, partly to watch my favourite football team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few months ago I was told that my bill was going to increase by about$10 a month. That was it. I’m a no-cable household now, too. 刷阅读理解 24 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有线电视就像固定电话一样经历了兴衰。 1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us about cable TV?( ) A A.Its falling popularity. B.Its increasing payments. C.Its various TV channels. D.Its high service standard. 解析 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的People have been predicting the death of cable TV for a long time, but this really might be it.和That started to drop slowly at first and then far more quickly in the past few years. Now, the share of American homes that pay for traditional TV services is approaching 50%可知，第一段主要描述了有线电视受欢迎程度的下降这一现象。故选A项。 刷阅读理解 25 2.Why does the author mention cellphones and landlines in Paragraph 2?( ) B A.To prove technology can change the world. B.To show it is not easy for cable TV to go away. C.To illustrate there is no market left for cable TV. D.To explain technology can bring fortune to people. 解析 推理判断题。根据第二段内容可知，在2017年左右家中没有座机的美国人比例达到50%之前，手机已经活跃了几十年，有线电视将步座机的后尘，这似乎是可以预见的。但作者预计不会那么明显，因为旧习难改。由此可知，作者在第二段提到手机和座机是为了表明要让有线电视消失并不容易。故选B项。 刷阅读理解 26 3.Which of the following is beyond Olgeirson’s expectations?( ) C A.America’s TV market was down suddenly. B.The death of cable TV will come in about 20 years. C.Americans turned away from cable TV so quickly. D.There are still many Americans showing interest in cable TV. 解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Ian Olgeirson… he was surprised by how quickly the monthly cable bill went from being standard to outdated for many Americans.可知，许多美国人每月的有线电视账单从标准到过时的速度之快让伊恩·奥吉尔森感到惊讶。由此可知，美国人这么快就放弃了有线电视超出了奥吉尔森的预期。故选C项。 刷阅读理解 27 4.What would be the best title for the text?( ) D A.Cable TV Won’t Be Replaced by Satellite TV B.Cable TV Brought Joy to Americans C.Cable TV Has Existed for Decades D.Cable TV Is the New Landline 解析 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段提出有线电视正变得不那么受欢迎这一中心思想，下文围绕该主旨进行说明，并以座机和手机为例进行比对，介绍了有线电视就像座机一样经历了兴衰。故D项（有线电视是新的座机）能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。 刷阅读理解 28 进阶词汇 wear thin 变得不受欢迎；开始变弱；变得兴趣索然 熟词生义 around 熟义：adv. & prep. 到处；周围；环绕 生义：adv. 走红；活跃 刷阅读理解 29 [湖南长沙长郡中学2023高二月考] One day, I logged on to social software and realized that I was very close to having 700 online “friends”.Not bad, I thought to myself, . .1. . of how many online pals, acquaintances and even . .2. .
