课时小练(九)
三维度夯实基础
维度1 单词的正确形式
1.As tears ________ (stream) down his face, she gently wiped them away.
答案与解析 streamed 空处作谓语,且主句是一般过去时,故从句用一般过去时,填streamed。
2.We sat at the table, ________ (chat) about the measures taken to protect the endangered animals.
答案与解析 chatting 语境为“我们坐在餐桌旁,谈论着保护濒危动物所采取的措施”,现在分词在句中作伴随状语。
3.He ________ (blog) about his observation of the Tibetan antelopes in his blog post.
答案与解析 blogged 设空在句中作谓语,“他在博客中发布有关观察藏羚羊的帖子”。
维度2 固定用法和常考句式
1.From here you can see ________ (stream) of people moving inside and outside the City Wall.
答案与解析 streams stream “人流”,是可数名词,空前无表“一”的限定词,故用复数形式。
2.I especially like to chat ________ my friends and family. ________ the way, what’s your favourite app?
答案与解析 with; By chat with sb. “和某人聊天”; by the way “顺便说一下”。
3.Actually, I’m too busy ________ (go) online.
答案与解析 to go 根据 too ... to ... “太……而不能……”的用法可知,此处用不定式,填to go。
4.A blog is like an online diary ________ you write about something you are interested ________.
答案与解析 where; in 第一空引导定语从句,先行词是diary,指地点,从句中缺少地点状语,故用where引导定语从句;第二空是固定短语be interested in “对……感兴趣”。
5.A search engine is a tool ________ helps you find what you’re looking for. ________ it, I can find all the information.
答案与解析 that/which; With 第一空引导定语从句,先行词是a tool,指物,从句中缺少主语,故用that/which引导定语从句;第二空后是代词it,故空处填介词,结合语境可知,此处指“用搜索引擎”,故填介词With。
6.You need to look ________ the words several times in the dictionary before you remember them.
答案与解析 up look up “(在计算机、词典中)查阅”。
维度3 语法填空
The digital age enables us to find people who share our interests, such as collecting model cars or playing 1.________ unusual instrument. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others 2.________ also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they 3.________ (real) are your friends?
It depends.
If people always exchange true 4.________ (person)information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep 5.________ mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole 6.________ (true) about a person.
On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates that make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling 7.________ (photo) can hide real problems. Remember the saying: on the Internet, nobody 8.________ (know) you’re a dog. A young person could be old; a woman could be a man; we could even be sharing our information with criminals.
But this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although in the past years technology 9.________ (change) the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same. As Aristotle said, no one would choose 10.________ (live) without friends, even if he had all other goods.
答案与解析
1.an 考查冠词。instrument在此处为泛指,且unusual是元音因素开始的单词,故空处填冠词an。
2.who 考查定语从句。空处引导定语从句,先行词是others,指人,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词who引导定语从句。
3.really 考查词形转换。空处修饰谓语,应用副词作状语,填really。
4.personal 考查词形转换。空处修饰名词information, 应用形容词作定语,填personal。
5.in 考查固定搭配。此处是动词短语keep in mind “记住”。
6.truth 考查词形转换。空处作表语,空前是the whole,故空处填名词, true的名词是truth。
7.photos 考查名词的数。photo是可数名词,空前无表“一”的限定词,故填复数形式。
8.knows 考查时态。空处作谓语,从句谓语是一般现在时,故主句是一般现在时,主语是nobody,故谓语用单数,填knows。
9.has changed 考查时态。根据句中时间状语in the past years可知,该句用现在完成时,填has changed。
10.to live 考查非谓语动词。根据choose to do sth. “选择做某事”的用法可知,此处填不定式作宾语。
全方位提能语篇
阅读 体裁:说明文 主题语境:现代技术 难度:★★★☆☆
It seems that people are gradually losing their smartness as smartphones become increasingly important assistants in their lives. As we rely too much on technology instead of our brains, many people have lost three basic abilities.
The first skill many people have lost is remembering phone numbers. Because phone numbers are stored in smartphone contacts, there’s now no need to dial a number or look at it again. This is fine until you need to call someone for help, only to find your phone is not around.
And some people may also have lost their sense of direction because some apps can guide people anywhere they want. People get so dependent on them that when they can’t use their smartphones, they get lost and anxious.
But the worst lost skills may be social ones, meaning that some people are becoming socially inept (无能的). People often bury themselves in their smartphones. As we’re too absent-minded by what’s happening in the virtual (虚拟的), some of us have lost conversational skills and sometimes can’t even tell whether a person is happy or not.
Last August, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied 51 students aged 11 and 12 who had over five hours’ screen time every day. Their task was to tell the emotions of 48 pictures of faces that were happy, sad, angry or scared.The children made an average of 14.02 mistakes at the beginning. But after a five-day camp without electronic (电子的) products, they made only 9.41 mistakes on average.
Luckily, people still have a chance to get these abilities back. You should try to keep your parents’ numbers in mind for emergencies. You should also pay more attention to street signs and stores, which will help you to draw a mind map and stop you from getting lost. And the easiest solution to social skill loss is to take a break from electronic products.
