专题09 阅读表达10篇 2023-2024学年北京期末真题 （23-24高一下·北京海淀·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Most research supports the idea that music’s main benefit for students is the uplift of mood and thus of abilities to concentrate on tasks and study for longer periods of time. What kind of music are we talking about then? Some Drake? Bach? SpongeBob? What’s the magic song? Again, complicated (复杂). You want something that’s going to drop you right into that sweet spot of what is called medium arousal; a playlist that’s too boring might make you sleepy, while a song that’s too exciting might make it harder for you to focus. Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information. Beethoven’s For Elise is an example. Listening to Mozart has also been shown in studies to improve the productivity of its listeners. There’s quite a bit of controversy on the effectiveness of having music on while you study, even music that puts you in the right mood. A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working. That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature. Another similar study, however, found that while average performance was lower for the music-listening group, the variation in individual scores suggests that the effects of the music vary a lot from person to person, and hence why it’s difficult to definitely say whether music helps or hurts. There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. The brain, actually, doesn’t have the ability to multitask at all. What you think is multitasking is actually just your poor old noodle rapidly switching between everything, but concentrating on nothing. Sad! 1．What kind of songs can be good for keeping information? 2．Why is listening to music with lyrics not helpful for study? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. ▶The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music. 4．Apart from the aspects mentioned in the passage, how can listening to music influence you?

My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK. For me, “where are you from?” is the question that usually requires an in-depth explanation of my life story. Those who listen to someone’s accent in order to figure out where they’re from will definitely struggle after meeting a third culture kid. Given that you’ve lived in a few countries, you probably speak at least two languages fluently and end up mixing them together without noticing. However, that does not necessarily mean you speak much of the language of the countries you’ve lived in. You will, of course, know a few greetings and some directions to give taxi drivers, but you’ve grown accustomed to living in a country where you can’t understand everything that’s being said around you. You get used to people leaving when attending an international school where goodbyes are way too frequent. Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right? After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for. 1．Who are third culture kids? 2．Why do third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship? 3．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? 4．What do you think can be the benefit(s) of being exposed to the diversity of cultures?

He keeps a note on his phone with details of the food that goes bad every week at his home. That way, when he goes to the supermarket, he has a better idea of how much food he actually eats in a week, and can adjust his shopping accordingly. He believes individual action like this is important to solve the problem of food waste, but he’s also got his sights set higher. In 2017 he founded Lumitics, a company that tracks food waste on a large scale—with the aim of helping hotels and airlines, which serve thousands of meals a day, figure out how much avoidable waste they’re producing. Equipped with weight sensors, cameras, and AI technology, Lumitics’ smart garbage cans (垃圾箱) can recognize and track the type and amount of food that gets thrown out—including whether it’s spoiled, uneaten or kitchen waste. As a result, its customers can use the data of the waste to adjust the amount of food they prepare or buy, leading to a great waste reduction. For instance, Lumitics has helped the hotels it works with reduce food waste considerably, keeping more than 300,000 meals out of landfills in 2019. The company is also beneficial for its customers’ economic outcomes. Hotel restaurants often operate on relatively thin profits, “so any savings for them actually is really significant for their business,” he says. Loi got the idea for Lumitics when, while working in Singapore, he saw kids go hungry. He sees food waste as one of the most overlooked problems facing the world. “I think my generation desperately long for meaning and purpose in our lives, so we want to work on challenging problems and create solutions that will bring about deep impact for the world,” he says, “what our group want to achieve is really clear in terms of the number of meals saved and the amount of carbon emissions (排放) avoided.” 1．How does Rayner Loi know how much food he eats in a week? 2．What benefits does Lumitics bring to its customers? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement then underline it and explain why. Rayner Loi was inspired to found Lumitics by his experience of food shortage in his own life. 4．Apart from Rayner Loi’s way of saving food, how do you avoid food waste in your daily life?

AI’s ability to customize (订制) learning and provide immediate feedback could change how students learn. making education more effective and engaging. Schools globally are starting to see the benefits of AI. Learning platforms with AI can now tailor lessons to each student’s pace and style of learning, increasing engagement and understanding. Dream Box Learning, an AI-powered math platform, has already showed how such technology can improve students’ abilities in problem solving. However, there’s an obvious concern coming up alongside these advancements—the AI divide or the growing gap between those who use AI tools and those who do not. A 2023 report by the Educational Data Trust found that wealthier school districts are three times more likely to have used Al-powered learning platforms compared to the under-resourced ones. The conversation around AI in education isn’t just about technology; it’s about fairness and opportunity. This could impact not only their academic performance but also their future college admissions and job prospects, suggests a2021 study by Georgetown University which found that AI skills are becoming increasingly sought after by employers. Addressing the AI divide requires a joint effort. Policymakers have the power to level the field by supporting AI accessibility in all schools. Educators must train their students to use AI as a tool. AI in education is a double-edged sword, with the promise of changed learning coming alongside the risk of deepening divides. As we embrace AI’s potential, we must also ensure it serves as a tool for, not exclusion, paving the way for a future where every student has the opportunity to succeed. 1．What future will AI create in education? 2．What is Al divide? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. The AI divide in education is related to technology and it couldn’t impact fairness and opportunity. 4．Explain how you will use AI technology as a tool in your learning.

But Alejandro Buxton has another dream: making all-natural candles that he sells online and at a local mall. The idea was inspired by his mother, who had to give up many of the scented candles she’d filled their home with after realizing the chemicals within them were worsening her allergies (过敏), causing her frequent headaches. So, in 2019, at just 9 years old, the boy started experimenting with making his own, mixing ingredients like soy and coconut waxes with essential oils. He called his first work “Jurassic Orange,” for its color and pleasant smell. Though his mother was a big fan, and the scent didn’t cause her head to ache, Buxton wanted to improve upon his work. Within the next few months, he’d developed a line of six uniquely scented candles. By the following year, during the worldwide lockdowns, he’d created his own online shop. Soon after, Alejandro began selling his products on his own website, “Smell of Love Candles,” where shoppers can find offerings with creative names like “Sage the Day!” and “Alexa, clean the house.” He also lists other products such as room sprays for sale. According to the site, his younger sister Valentina serves as assistant of operations while his mother takes the role of assistant to the CEO. Now, he is operating his business in a local mall as well. This past September, he opened a stand in D．C．’s Tysons Corner shopping center—making him the youngest leaseholder (承租人) at the mall. Besides inspiring fellow kids with his entrepreneurial spirit and talent, Alejandro is also a positive role model for giving back and making a difference: He donates a part of his profits to a local charity. With the experience and knowledge he’s gaining from running this business at such a young age, Alejandro hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business. 1．What is Alejandro’s dream? 2．Why did the boy come up with the idea? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. • Alejandro is a successful businessman because he began his candle business and started an engineering business at a young age. 4．Among Alejandro’s qualities, which one do you think will be important for you? Why? (In about 40 words) （22-23高一下·北京东城·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题. The Impact of Social Media on Adolescents (青少年) Using social media has become a routine activity for most young people. In recent years the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically, so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet. Social media allow young people to achieve many of the online tasks that are important to them offline: staying connected with friends and family, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. Some schools successfully use blogs as teaching tools, which has the benefit of improving skills in written expression and creativity. At the same time, social media helps them get what they want, increase their knowledge and confidence in their academic (学业的) performance. While social media provides many benefits, it can also have a negative impact on young people, both physically and mentally. It is easy to become addicted, and research shows that students who spend too much time on social media can suffer from poor sleep, eye fatigue, negative body image, depression, anxiety and more. Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours, which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰). Using social media becomes a risk to adolescents more than they can realise. When people go on to websites, they leave evidence of their visits. This ongoing record of online activity is called the “digital footprint”. One of the biggest threats to young people on social media is to their digital footprint and future reputations (名誉). Young people who lack an awareness of privacy issues often post inappropriate material without understanding that “what goes online stays online”. As a result, future jobs and college acceptance maybe put in danger by inexperienced clicks of the mouse. 1．Why is a large part of young people’s social and emotional development occurring on the Internet? 2．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Young people’s improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment. 3．You have been physically distanced from school for more than one month in this term. How do you make full use of social media to better your life and study?  Please give one or two examples.

Anxiety is a feeling that is often characterized by intense fear and worry. Many individuals with anxiety describe it as a feeling of nervousness and fear that can be distracting and all-consuming. It is typically experienced on many levels, affecting one’s emotions and leading to uncomfortable physical sensations, and negative thoughts. However, have you ever considered some of the possible positive effects that may come with having anxiety? Scientists have learned that some degree of stress or anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Good stress, something now referred to as eustress, keeps us motivated and excited about life. It appears that some degree of anxiety may have similar “silver linings”. Anxiety may be just the warning sign you need to bring awareness to your current situation and make some necessary changes in your life. For example, you may find that you have a friendship that is no longer working, or perhaps your job is causing a great deal of stress. Your anxiety can be difficult to manage, but exploring and coping with your anxiety can be a real opportunity for self-growth. Anxiety may help you feel more motivated and prepared when faced with challenges. Research has shown that students and athletes who experienced some anxiety actually performed better on tests or in competitive sports. For instance, perhaps your anxiety assists you in putting extra effort into work or personal tasks, making a good impression, or moving towards your goals. People who have dealt with anxiety may be more sympathetic and understanding to the problems that others face. Having gone through personal struggles yourself, you may be more sensitive, loving, and accepting when friends and family members are dealing with personal challenges. Even though there can be some potential benefits to experiencing anxiety, it is worthwhile to point that it can also become a real hindrance to many aspects of your life. If anxiety is preventing you from living the life you desire, then it may be time to get professional help. 1．What is anxiety according to the passage? 2．What can eustress do to us? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Research has shown that students with some anxiety are sure to perform worse on tests. 4．How will you deal with anxiety in your life?

Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a superatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的)” In fact the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius, He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. "Tell me if ever I did a thing... Tell me if anything was ever made. His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder, At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery.... We can never learn enough from Leonardo. 1．What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart? 2．Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Leonardo’s genius not only comes from his own will and ambition, but also from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. 4．Which quality of Da Vinci’s do you appreciate most? How can it benefit you in your life?

You may regard it as expensive to buy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging. highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee. The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has taken note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since the late 1990s. With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities. Of course shared services don’t need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in today’s casual environment, you don’t need a tie unless you’re going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies, would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors don’t want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and easier to simply borrow an umbrella on one street corner and drop it off on another. Recently organizations that have centralized their IT functions have begun to take a close look at the technology services that their IT departments provide for customers, evaluating where it makes sense to provide technology components. E-mall and scanning (归描) operations were obvious early candidates. Many organizations are now oftering their document-intensive operations is a shared service, There is no doubt that people are calling for the expansion of shared services to more and more treas. 1．What is the sharing industry? 2．Why does shared transportation receive attention from people? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Shared services are getting increasingly popular for their convenience, but there are still calls for expansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines 4．Please provide another example of shared services and explain your reason.

The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature). 245．Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience. 【导语】这篇文章属于说明文。文章主要探讨了音乐对学生学习的影响，指出音乐的益处主要在于提升情绪和集中注意力，但效果因人而异。同时强调有歌词的音乐会干扰语言处理任务。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Songs with 60-70 beats per minute have been suggested to be good for keeping information.(每分钟60-70拍的歌曲被认为有助于记忆信息)”可知，每分钟60-70拍的歌曲有助于记忆信息。故答案为Songs with 60-70 beats per minute. 2．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中“There seems to be agreement on one thing at least, which is that music with lyrics (歌词) definitely is a no-go. Processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of your brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing.(至少有一件事似乎是一致的，那就是带歌词的音乐绝对是不允许的。处理歌词意味着你大脑的语言处理部分没有空间来处理其他任务，尤其是当这涉及到阅读或写作时)”可知，听有歌词的音乐时，大脑的语言处理部分就没有空间来处理其他任务，这种音乐对学习没有帮助。故答案为Because processing lyrics means there’s no room in the language processing part of our brain to work on other tasks, especially when this involves reading or writing. 3．考查细节理解。根据第三段中“A study conducted by the University of Wales found that students consistently performed worse on tests when exposed both to music that they liked and music they didn’t like, meaning that listening to music, regardless of how it made the students feel, was found to be just as distracting as a person talking to you while you’re working.(威尔士大学进行的一项研究发现，当学生听自己喜欢和不喜欢的音乐时，他们在考试中的表现总是更差，这意味着听音乐，不管它让学生感觉如何，被发现就像在你工作时有人和你说话一样分散注意力)”可知，威尔士大学的研究发现学生听音乐时，他们在考试中的表现总是很差；同时根据第四段“That same study also found that along with a completely quiet environment, students also performed best when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature.(同一项研究还发现，在一个完全安静的环境中，当学生听到重复的声音或自然的声音时，他们的表现也最好)”可知，研究发现听到重复的声音或自然的声音时，学生们的表现很好。所以给定句子可以有两种修改方式：1.把students performed best改为students performed worse；2.把when they were exposed to music改为when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature。故答案为The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best (students performed worse) when they were exposed to music. The study conducted by the University of Wales found that students performed best when they were exposed to music (when they were played repetitive sounds or sounds of nature). 4．考查推理判断题。结合个人经验，音乐除了在提升情绪和帮助集中注意力方面能给我带来影响外，它还可以帮助我建立社会联系。音乐有时比语言更能说明问题，我发现和对音乐有相似兴趣的人交朋友很容易。在某种程度上，音乐将人们聚集在一起，创造一种社区意识和共享体验。故答案为Music helps me to build social connections. Music sometimes speaks better than words, and I find it easy to befriend someone who shares a similar interest in music. In a way, music brings people together and create a sense of community and shared experience. （23-24高一下·北京石景山·期末）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。 Ashley Power’s mother bought a computer for her when she was eight.

If you were sixteen and you had your own company, you’d be stressed, too!”（我太高兴了。但在很多方面都很疯狂，我压力很大。我的意思是，我只有16岁——甚至没有一辆车!如果你16岁，有了自己的公司，你也会有压力的！”）可知，“缺乏家人支持”错误，而是由于缺乏资源或者经历。故回答为：Starting a company brought Ashley not only happiness, but also stress due to the lack of support from her family. 理由: Starting a company brought Ashley not only happiness, but also stress due to the lack of resources/experiences. 4．考查开放性试题。我接受阿什利的建议。只要我们坚持，我们就会成功。在困难面前不承认失败是成功的必要条件。别人的意见会阻碍你前进，所以你必须忽略他们的意见。故回答为：I take Ashley’s advice.As long as we persist, we will succeed. Not admitting being defeated in the face of difficulties is a necessary condition for success. Other people’s opinions will stop you from moving forward, so their opinions must be ignored. （23-24高一下·北京东城·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 As a “third culture kid”, I live a particularly interesting life growing up abroad in a culture different to that of my parents. My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK. For me, “where are you from?” is the question that usually requires an in-depth explanation of my life story. Those who listen to someone’s accent in order to figure out where they’re from will definitely struggle after meeting a third culture kid. Given that you’ve lived in a few countries, you probably speak at least two languages fluently and end up mixing them together without noticing. However, that does not necessarily mean you speak much of the language of the countries you’ve lived in. You will, of course, know a few greetings and some directions to give taxi drivers, but you’ve grown accustomed to living in a country where you can’t understand everything that’s being said around you. You get used to people leaving when attending an international school where goodbyes are way too frequent. Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right? After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for. 1．Who are third culture kids? 2．Why do third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship? 3．What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph? 4．What do you think can be the benefit(s) of being exposed to the diversity of cultures? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．The third culture kids are those who grow up abroad in a culture different to that of their parents. 2．Because they have to leave childhood friends when moving to another country for university, and friendship that survives distance means friends for life. 3．How third culture kids love adventure and travelling, and how they always seize opportunities to explore new places. 4．I believe that exposure to diverse cultures can broaden one’s horizons, allowing one to understand the customs and cultures of different countries, which can also improve cross-cultural communication skills, enhancing one’s tolerance and adaptability. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，描述了“第三文化孩子”（即在不同文化背景下成长的孩子）的生活经历和特点。作者分享了自己作为“第三文化孩子”的成长经历，包括在多个国家生活、学习语言、处理人际关系、对友谊的理解以及持续旅行的渴望。文章强调，这些孩子因成长在跨文化环境中，而具备了独特的适应能力和对多元文化的理解。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“As a “third culture kid”, I live a particularly interesting life growing up abroad in a culture different to that of my parents. My father is from the UK and working in the engineering industry means that he needs to work in various countries around the world. My mother is French, and I was born in Thailand, where I lived until I finished high school. I’m currently studying at the University of Bath in the UK.(作为一个“第三文化的孩子”，我在与父母不同的文化中长大，过着特别有趣的生活。我的父亲来自英国，从事工程行业意味着他需要在世界各地的不同国家工作。我母亲是法国人，我出生在泰国，高中毕业前一直住在那里。我目前在英国巴斯大学学习。)”可知，作者作为一个“第三文化的孩子”，其父亲来自于英国，其母亲是法国人，而作者本身出生于泰国，所以第三文化孩子是在不同于父母的文化环境中成长的孩子。故答案为The third culture kids are those who grow up abroad in a culture different to that of their parents. 2．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Once you leave for university, you’re moving countries instead of cities, away from childhood friends. It’s fair to say that third culture kids really know the meaning of friendship, after all, friendship that survives distance means friends for life, right?( 一旦你离开家去上大学，你就离开了儿时的朋友，离开了国家而不是城市。公平地说，第三文化的孩子们真的知道友谊的意义，毕竟，能跨越距离的友谊意味着一生的朋友，对吧？)”可知，第三文化孩子因为需要为大学离开一个国家而不是一个城市，与童年的朋友分开，因此他们更懂得友谊的意义，因为能够经受住距离考验的友谊才是一生的朋友。故答案为Because they have to leave childhood friends when moving to another country for university, and friendship that survives distance means friends for life. 3．考查主旨大意。根据最后一段“After living abroad and being exposed to (接触) the diversity of cultures, people and history, it is nearly impossible for third culture kids not to continue travelling. Whether you choose to take a gap year, make the most of holidays or work, study or volunteer abroad—any opportunity to explore a new place is an opportunity not to be missed. Adventure and travelling are what we always long for.(在国外生活并接触到文化、人民和历史的多样性之后，第三文化的孩子几乎不可能不继续旅行。无论你是选择间隔年，还是充分利用假期、工作、学习或出国做志愿者——任何探索新地方的机会都是不容错过的。冒险和旅行是我们一直渴望的。)”可知，本段强调的是第三文化孩子热爱冒险和旅行，并且会抓住每一个探索新地方的机会。故答案为How third culture kids love adventure and travelling, and how they always seize opportunities to explore new places. 4．开放式题目。本题目为开放式题目，回答合理即可。本人认为，接触不同文化的多样性可以拓宽一个人的视野，让人了解不同国家和文化的风土人情；同时能够提高跨文化交流能力，并且能够增强个人的包容性和适应能力。故答案为I believe that exposure to diverse cultures can broaden one’s horizons, allowing one to understand the customs and cultures of different countries, which can also improve cross-cultural communication skills, enhancing one’s tolerance and adaptability. （23-24高一下·北京朝阳·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 How can we avoid food waste in our daily life? Rayner Loi has got his own way. He keeps a note on his phone with details of the food that goes bad every week at his home. That way, when he goes to the supermarket, he has a better idea of how much food he actually eats in a week, and can adjust his shopping accordingly. He believes individual action like this is important to solve the problem of food waste, but he’s also got his sights set higher. In 2017 he founded Lumitics, a company that tracks food waste on a large scale—with the aim of helping hotels and airlines, which serve thousands of meals a day, figure out how much avoidable waste they’re producing. Equipped with weight sensors, cameras, and AI technology, Lumitics’ smart garbage cans (垃圾箱) can recognize and track the type and amount of food that gets thrown out—including whether it’s spoiled, uneaten or kitchen waste. As a result, its customers can use the data of the waste to adjust the amount of food they prepare or buy, leading to a great waste reduction. For instance, Lumitics has helped the hotels it works with reduce food waste considerably, keeping more than 300,000 meals out of landfills in 2019. The company is also beneficial for its customers’ economic outcomes. Hotel restaurants often operate on relatively thin profits, “so any savings for them actually is really significant for their business,” he says. Loi got the idea for Lumitics when, while working in Singapore, he saw kids go hungry. He sees food waste as one of the most overlooked problems facing the world. “I think my generation desperately long for meaning and purpose in our lives, so we want to work on challenging problems and create solutions that will bring about deep impact for the world,” he says, “what our group want to achieve is really clear in terms of the number of meals saved and the amount of carbon emissions (排放) avoided.” 1．How does Rayner Loi know how much food he eats in a week? 2．What benefits does Lumitics bring to its customers? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement then underline it and explain why. Rayner Loi was inspired to found Lumitics by his experience of food shortage in his own life. 4．Apart from Rayner Loi’s way of saving food, how do you avoid food waste in your daily life? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．By keeping a note on his phone with details of the food that goes bad every week at his home. 2．The great waste reduction and better economic outcomes. 3．Rayner Loi was inspired to found Lumitics by his experience of food shortage in his own life. Rayner Loi got the idea for Lumitics when/while working in Singapore, he saw kids go hungry. 257．(1)To reduce food waste, I always encourage my family to finish our meals when we eat out, or to take away the leftovers for later use. I often use leftovers to make new dishes like soups or stir-fries. This not only helps reduce waste but also lets me get creative with cooking. (2)I usually store food properly, which is a good way to prevent wasting. For example, Iensure item s like fruit and vegetables are kept in the refrigerator, while dry goods are stored in airtight containers in a cool and dry place. By doing this, I can reduce food waste. (3)Gardening is my way to avoid food waste. Backyard composting is a great way to keep food waste out of the landfill and provide nutrition for my garden. For instance, in this way vegetable peels don’t have to go to waste but to my garden or my composting containers. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了Rayner Loi创立Lumitics来减少食物浪费。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段“He keeps a note on his phone with details of the food that goes bad every week at his home. That way, when he goes to the supermarket, he has a better idea of how much food he actually eats in a week, and can adjust his shopping accordingly.(他在手机上记录了家中每周变质食物的细节。这样，当他去超市时，他就能更好地了解自己一周实际吃了多少食物，并能相应地调整自己的购物计划)”可知，雷纳·洛伊通过在手机上记录他家里每周变质食物的细节知道他一周吃多少食物。故答案为By keeping a note on his phone with details of the food that goes bad every week at his home. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“As a result, its customers can use the data of the waste to adjust the amount of food they prepare or buy, leading to a great waste reduction.(因此，它的客户可以使用废物的数据来调整他们准备或购买的食物数量，从而大大减少了浪费)”以及“The company is also beneficial for its customers’ economic outcomes.(该公司也有利于其客户的经济成果)”可知，Lumitics可以让客户大大减少浪费，取得更好的经济效益。故答案为The great waste reduction and better economic outcomes. 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“Loi got the idea for Lumitics when, while working in Singapore, he saw kids go hungry.(Loi在新加坡工作时，看到孩子们在挨饿，于是萌生了创办Lumitics的想法)”可知，错误部分为“by his experience of food shortage in his own life”，因为Rayner Loi在新加坡工作时，看到孩子们在挨饿，于是萌生了制作Lumitics的想法。故答案为Rayner Loi was inspired to found Lumitics by his experience of food shortage in his own life. Rayner Loi got the idea for Lumitics when/while working in Singapore, he saw kids go hungry. 4．考查开放题。根据“除了雷纳·罗的节约食物的方法，你在日常生活中如何避免食物浪费”可回答：(1)为了减少食物浪费，我总是鼓励我的家人在外出就餐时把饭吃完，或者把剩菜带走以后用。我经常用剩菜做汤或炒菜之类的新菜。这不仅有助于减少浪费，还能让我在烹饪上更有创意。(2)我通常妥善储存食物，这是防止浪费的好方法。例如，我确保像水果和蔬菜这样的物品存放在冰箱里，而干货则存放在阴凉干燥的密封容器中。通过这样做，我可以减少食物浪费。(3)园艺是我避免食物浪费的方法。后院堆肥是一个很好的方法，使食物垃圾远离垃圾填埋场，并为我的花园提供营养。例如，用这种方法，蔬菜皮不必浪费，而是要放在我的花园或堆肥容器里。故答案为(1)To reduce food waste, I always encourage my family to finish our meals when we eat out, or to take away the leftovers for later use. I often use leftovers to make new dishes like soups or stir-fries. This not only helps reduce waste but also lets me get creative with cooking. (2)I usually store food properly, which is a good way to prevent wasting. For example, Iensure item s like fruit and vegetables are kept in the refrigerator, while dry goods are stored in airtight containers in a cool and dry place. By doing this, I can reduce food waste. (3)Gardening is my way to avoid food waste. Backyard composting is a great way to keep food waste out of the landfill and provide nutrition for my garden. For instance, in this way vegetable peels don’t have to go to waste but to my garden or my composting containers. （23-24高一下·北京昌平·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。 Artificial intelligence is making its way into classrooms, creating a future where education is more personalized and dynamic.

But Alejandro Buxton has another dream: making all-natural candles that he sells online and at a local mall. The idea was inspired by his mother, who had to give up many of the scented candles she’d filled their home with after realizing the chemicals within them were worsening her allergies (过敏), causing her frequent headaches. So, in 2019, at just 9 years old, the boy started experimenting with making his own, mixing ingredients like soy and coconut waxes with essential oils. He called his first work “Jurassic Orange,” for its color and pleasant smell. Though his mother was a big fan, and the scent didn’t cause her head to ache, Buxton wanted to improve upon his work. Within the next few months, he’d developed a line of six uniquely scented candles. By the following year, during the worldwide lockdowns, he’d created his own online shop. Soon after, Alejandro began selling his products on his own website, “Smell of Love Candles,” where shoppers can find offerings with creative names like “Sage the Day!” and “Alexa, clean the house.” He also lists other products such as room sprays for sale. According to the site, his younger sister Valentina serves as assistant of operations while his mother takes the role of assistant to the CEO. Now, he is operating his business in a local mall as well. This past September, he opened a stand in D．C．’s Tysons Corner shopping center—making him the youngest leaseholder (承租人) at the mall. Besides inspiring fellow kids with his entrepreneurial spirit and talent, Alejandro is also a positive role model for giving back and making a difference: He donates a part of his profits to a local charity. With the experience and knowledge he’s gaining from running this business at such a young age, Alejandro hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business. 1．What is Alejandro’s dream? 2．Why did the boy come up with the idea? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. • Alejandro is a successful businessman because he began his candle business and started an engineering business at a young age. 4．Among Alejandro’s qualities, which one do you think will be important for you? Why?

Because he just hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business. 265．The entrepreneurial spirit. Because I’m always afraid of the trouble and obstacles possibly existing in the process of starting a business, which is the biggest problem for me to have my own business. 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。12岁的亚历杭德罗·巴克斯顿自己制作了香味独特的纯天然蜡烛，并成功地拥有了自己的事业。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“But Alejandro Buxton has another dream: making all-natural candles that he sells online and at a local mall.(但亚历杭德罗·巴克斯顿还有另一个梦想：制作纯天然蜡烛，并在网上和当地一家商场出售。)”可知，亚历杭德罗的梦想是制作纯天然蜡烛，并在网上和当地一家商场出售。故答案为Making all-natural candles that he sells online and at a local mall。 2．考查细节理解。根据第二段“The idea was inspired by his mother, who had to give up many of the scented candles she’d filled their home with after realizing the chemicals within them were worsening her allergies (过敏), causing her frequent headaches.(这个想法的灵感来自于他的母亲，在意识到香薰蜡烛中的化学物质会加剧她的过敏，导致她经常头痛后，她不得不放弃家里满满当当的许多香薰蜡烛。)”可知，这个男孩有了这个想法是因为他的母亲在意识到香薰蜡烛中的化学物质会加剧她的过敏，导致她经常头痛后，不得不放弃了许多香薰蜡烛。故答案为Because his mother had to give up many of the scented candles after realizing the chemicals within them were worsening her allergies, causing her frequent headaches。 3．考查细节理解。根据最后一段“With the experience and knowledge he’s gaining from running this business at such a young age, Alejandro hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business.(亚历杭德罗在这么年轻的时候就经营这家公司，积累了丰富的经验和知识，他希望有一天能创办一家工程公司。)”可知，亚历杭德罗只是希望，却还没有创办一家工程公司。所以“and started an engineering business”这部分是错误的。故答案为Alejandro is a successful businessman because he began his candle business and started an engineering business at a young age. Because he just hopes to one day go on to create an engineering business.。 4．考查开放性回答。考生需要挑选文章中亚历杭德罗的一个品质，并解释为什么这一品质对自己很重要，并注意答案应控制在40个单词之内。答案为The entrepreneurial spirit.

The Impact of Social Media on Adolescents (青少年) Using social media has become a routine activity for most young people. In recent years the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically, so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet. Social media allow young people to achieve many of the online tasks that are important to them offline: staying connected with friends and family, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. Some schools successfully use blogs as teaching tools, which has the benefit of improving skills in written expression and creativity. At the same time, social media helps them get what they want, increase their knowledge and confidence in their academic (学业的) performance. While social media provides many benefits, it can also have a negative impact on young people, both physically and mentally. It is easy to become addicted, and research shows that students who spend too much time on social media can suffer from poor sleep, eye fatigue, negative body image, depression, anxiety and more. Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours, which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰). Using social media becomes a risk to adolescents more than they can realise. When people go on to websites, they leave evidence of their visits. This ongoing record of online activity is called the “digital footprint”. One of the biggest threats to young people on social media is to their digital footprint and future reputations (名誉). Young people who lack an awareness of privacy issues often post inappropriate material without understanding that “what goes online stays online”. As a result, future jobs and college acceptance maybe put in danger by inexperienced clicks of the mouse. 1．Why is a large part of young people’s social and emotional development occurring on the Internet? 2．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Young people’s improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment. 3．You have been physically distanced from school for more than one month in this term. How do you make full use of social media to better your life and study?  Please give one or two examples. (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．Because in recent years, the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically. 2．Young people’s improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment. Because frequent online expressions of offline behaviours have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment. 3．I will use social media to stay connected with my friends and exchange ideas with my teachers. Besides, I will use social media to get knowledge. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了社交媒体给青少年带来的好处和弊端。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段关键句“In recent years, the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically, so a large part of their social and emotional development is occurring while they are on the Internet. (近年来，使用社交媒体的年轻人数量急剧增加，因此他们的社交和情感发展很大一部分是在互联网上进行的。)”可知，年轻人的社交和情感发展很大一部分发生在互联网上是因为近年来，使用社交媒体的年轻人数量急剧增加。故答案为Because in recent years, the number of young people using social media has increased dramatically. 2．考查推理判断。根据第三段的“Research also indicates that there are frequent online expressions of offline behaviours, which have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment (骚扰). (研究还表明，线下行为经常在网上表达，导致了网络欺凌和网络骚扰等问题。)”可知，人们经常在网上表达线下行为，这带来了网络欺凌和在线骚扰等问题，并不是“不当的数字足迹”会对网络欺凌和在线骚扰产生影响，由此可知，句中“Young people’s improper digital footprint”是错误的，应改为“frequent online expressions of offline behaviours”，因为经常在网上表达线下行为带来了网络欺凌和在线骚扰等问题。故答案为Young people’s improper digital footprint may have an impact on cyberbullying and online harassment. Because frequent online expressions of offline behaviours have introduced problems such as cyberbullying and online harassment. 3．开放性试题。根据第二段关键句“Social media allow young people to achieve online many of the tasks that are important to them offline: staying connected with friends and family, making new friends, and exchanging ideas. (社交媒体可以让年轻人在网上完成许多对他们来说很重要的任务：与朋友和家人保持联系，结交新朋友，交流想法。)”可知，社交媒体可以让年轻人在网上与朋友和家人保持联系，结交新朋友和交流想法等，由此可知，如果这学期你与学校的距离太远，你可以通过社交媒体与朋友保持联系，与老师交流想法或通过社交媒体获取知识等，答案不唯一，符合文意即可。故参考答案为I will use social media to stay connected with my friends and exchange ideas with my teachers. Besides, I will use social media to get knowledge. 2021-2022学年北京期末真题 （21-22高一下·北京海淀·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求回答问题。 We often hear about the negative aspects of anxiety, but could there be any advantages or benefits that come from living with anxiety? Anxiety is a feeling that is often characterized by intense fear and worry. Many individuals with anxiety describe it as a feeling of nervousness and fear that can be distracting and all-consuming. It is typically experienced on many levels, affecting one’s emotions and leading to uncomfortable physical sensations, and negative thoughts. However, have you ever considered some of the possible positive effects that may come with having anxiety? Scientists have learned that some degree of stress or anxiety isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Good stress, something now referred to as eustress, keeps us motivated and excited about life. It appears that some degree of anxiety may have similar “silver linings”. Anxiety may be just the warning sign you need to bring awareness to your current situation and make some necessary changes in your life. For example, you may find that you have a friendship that is no longer working, or perhaps your job is causing a great deal of stress. Your anxiety can be difficult to manage, but exploring and coping with your anxiety can be a real opportunity for self-growth. Anxiety may help you feel more motivated and prepared when faced with challenges. Research has shown that students and athletes who experienced some anxiety actually performed better on tests or in competitive sports. For instance, perhaps your anxiety assists you in putting extra effort into work or personal tasks, making a good impression, or moving towards your goals. People who have dealt with anxiety may be more sympathetic and understanding to the problems that others face. Having gone through personal struggles yourself, you may be more sensitive, loving, and accepting when friends and family members are dealing with personal challenges. Even though there can be some potential benefits to experiencing anxiety, it is worthwhile to point that it can also become a real hindrance to many aspects of your life. If anxiety is preventing you from living the life you desire, then it may be time to get professional help. 1．What is anxiety according to the passage? 2．What can eustress do to us? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Research has shown that students with some anxiety are sure to perform worse on tests. 4．How will you deal with anxiety in your life? (In about 40 words) 【答案】1．Anxiety is a feeling that is often characterized by intense fear and worry. 2．Eustress keeps us motivated and excited about life. 3．Research has shown that students with some anxiety are sure to perform worse on tests. Because students and athletes who experienced some anxiety actually performed better on tests or in competitive sports. 4．In our daily life we can deal with high-pressure situations by accommodating more or removing the volume that was creating the most pressure. For example, when I feel stressed, I will go running to release the pressure in this way. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了焦虑的一些症状以及对人正反面的影响。 1．考查细节理解。根据第一段中“Anxiety is a feeling that is often characterized by intense fear and worry.(焦虑是一种以强烈的恐惧和担忧为特征的感觉)”可知，焦虑是一种以强烈的恐惧和担忧为特征的感觉。故答案为Anxiety is a feeling that is often characterized by intense fear and worry. 2．考查细节理解。根据第二段中“Good stress, something now referred to as eustress, keeps us motivated and excited about life. It appears that some degree of anxiety may have similar “silver linings”.(好的压力，现在被称为正面压力，让我们对生活充满动力和激情。某种程度的焦虑似乎也有类似的“一线希望”)”可知，正面压力让我们对生活充满动力和激情。故答案为Eustress keeps us motivated and excited about life. 3．考查推理判断。根据倒数第三段中“Anxiety may help you feel more motivated and prepared when faced with challenges. Research has shown that students and athletes who experienced some anxiety actually performed better on tests or in competitive sports.(在面对挑战时，焦虑会让你更有动力，更有准备。研究表明，经历某种焦虑的学生和运动员实际上在考试或竞技运动中表现得更好)”可知，错误部分为“students with some anxiety are sure to perform worse on tests”，因为经历过焦虑的学生实际上在测试中表现得更好。故答案为Research has shown that students with some anxiety are sure to perform worse on tests. Because students who experienced some anxiety actually performed better on tests. 4．开放性题目，言之有理即可。题干：你将如何处理生活中的焦虑？可回答：在我们的日常生活中，我们可以通过容纳更多或移除产生最大压力的体积来处理焦虑。例如，当我感到焦虑的时候，我会去跑步，用这种方式来释放压力。故答案为In our daily life we can deal with anxiety by accommodating more or removing the volume that was creating the most pressure. For example, when I feel anxious, I will go running to release the pressure in this way. （21-22高一下·北京·期末）阅读下面短文，根据题目要求用英文回答问题。请在答题卡指定区域作答。 Leonardo Da Vinci was a genius: wildly imaginative, passionately curious and creative across multiple disciplines-painting architecture, aeronautics, and engineering. Yet oddly the word “genius” minimizes him by making it seem as if he were touched by lightning. His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a superatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的)” In fact the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity. His talent for combining observation with fantasy allowed him to make unexpected leaps that related things seen to things unseen. Leonardo was also a very human genius, He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. "Tell me if ever I did a thing... Tell me if anything was ever made. His flawed humanity makes Leonardo more accessible. Even though we may never be able to match his talents, we can learn from him and try to be more like him. His life offers a wealth of lessons. Seek knowledge for its own sake. Not all knowledge needs to be useful. Sometimes it should be pursued for pure pleasure. Leonardo did not need to know how heart valves work to paint the Mona Lisa, nor did he need to figure out how fossils got to the top of mountains to produce Virgin of the Rocks. By allowing himself to be driven by pure curiosity, he got to explore more horizons and see more connections. Keep a childlike sense of wonder, At a certain point in life, most of us quit puzzling over everyday phenomena. We might savor the beauty of a blue sky, but we no longer bother to wonder why it is that color. Leonardo did. Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery.... We can never learn enough from Leonardo. 1．What set Da Vinci apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart? 2．Why was Da Vinci regarded as a very human genius? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why. Leonardo’s genius not only comes from his own will and ambition, but also from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. 4．Which quality of Da Vinci’s do you appreciate most? How can it benefit you in your life? (/In bout 40 words) 【答案】1．Creativity./Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart. 2．Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 3．Leonardo’s genius not only comes from his own will and ambition, but also from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Because his achievements come entirely from his talent. 4．One possible version: I appreciate the quality of being curious most. Because being curious can force me to keep learning new knowledge. If I am curious about one problem, I will refer to some books to get a better understanding of the knowledge. 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了达·芬奇是一个有创造力，有人类本性的天才。他充满好奇心，善于观察事物，尊重事实，接受神秘等这些品质，值得我们学习。 1．考查细节理解。根据第二段“Part of what made Leonardo a genius, what set him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart, was creativity.(使列奥纳多成为天才的部分原因，使他与那些仅仅是非常聪明的人区别开来的部分原因是创造力)”可知，是创造力将达·芬奇与那些只是非常聪明的人区别开来，故答案为Creativity.或Creativity sets him apart from people who are merely extraordinarily smart. 2．考查细节理解。根据第三段“Leonardo was also a very human genius. He made mistakes. He left a trail of unfinished projects, flying machines that never flew, tanks that never rolled. (列奥纳多也是一个非常有人类本性的天才。他犯了错误。他留下了一系列未完成的项目——从没飞过的飞行器，从没启动过的坦克)”可知，达·芬奇也犯错，而且还留下一系列未完成的项目，比如从没飞过的飞行器和从没启动过的坦克，所以达·芬奇被认为是一个有人类本性的天才，故答案为Because he made mistakes and he left a trail of unfinished projects, such as flying machines that never flew and tanks that never rolled. 3．考查细节理解题。根据一段“His early biographer made this mistake: “Sometimes, in a superatural fashion, a single person is gifted by heaven with beauty, grace, and talent in such abundance that seems that his every act is divine (天赐的)” In fact the self-taught Leonardo’s genius was shaped by his own will and ambition. It did not come from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein.(他早期的传记作者犯了这样一个错误：“有时，以一种超自然的方式，一个人被上天赋予了如此丰富的美丽、优雅和才华，以至于他的一举一动似乎都是神圣的。”事实上，自学成才的列奥纳多的天才是由他自己的意志和野心塑造的。它并不像牛顿或爱因斯坦那样，来自神圣的接受者)”可知，达·芬奇的天才并不是天赐的，而是他自己的意志和雄心塑造的，故错误部分为“from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein”，因为让人们错误地以为，他的天才是上天恩赐的，但实际上是他自己的意志和雄心塑造的，故答案为Leonardo’s genius not only comes from his own will and ambition, but also from being the divine recipient, like Newton or Einstein. Because his achievements come entirely from his talent. 4．考查开放题。根据最后一段中的“Be curious, observe things, see things unseen, respect facts, be open to mystery…”(要有好奇心，观察事物，看到看不见的东西，尊重事实，接受神秘……)可知，这些都是达·芬奇的品质，以好奇心为例，谈谈好奇心对自己生活的好处。故答案为：One possible version: I appreciate the quality of being curious most. Because being curious can force me to keep learning new knowledge. If I am curious about one problem, I will refer to some books to get a better understanding of the knowledge. （21-22高一下·北京朝阳·期末）阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成对该问题的回答。 Shared Services Need More Imagination Suppose you need to drill a hole in the wall to hang an item but do not own a power drill. You may regard it as expensive to buy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging. highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee. The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has taken note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since the late 1990s. With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities. Of course shared services don’t need to be limited to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in today’s casual environment, you don’t need a tie unless you’re going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies, would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors don’t want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and easier to simply borrow an umbrella on one street corner and drop it off on another. Recently organizations that have centralized their IT functions have begun to take a close look at the technology services that their IT departments provide for customers, evaluating where it makes sense to provide technology components. E-mall and scanning (归描) operations were obvious early candidates. Many organizations are now oftering their document-intensive operations is a shared service, There is no doubt that people are calling for the expansion of shared services to more and more treas. 1．What is the sharing industry? 2．Why does shared transportation receive attention from people? 3．Please decide which part is false in the following statement, then underline it and explain why.
