新外研八上英语U4课文1习题(学生版) Unit4课文1 Digital shock 1、 阅读理解,根据课文意思选出正确答案。 1 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for three days, but it feels like a century! It's amazing to see my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here. 2 Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided to ride a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike! I finally found an old one. But that 15 - minute ride cost me an arm and a leg – more than five pounds! 3 In the shop, I quickly got everything I needed. I wanted to pay with my smartphone. I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work. The shopkeeper told me to use cash. As I always make digital payments in China, I never carry my wallet. I had to go home to get some cash. 4 When I got home, I was so tired that I gave up on cooking. I ordered my favourite dishes through an app instead, but the delivery was really slow. When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven. I felt tired and hungry. 5 Except for today, I've had a great holiday. However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life! 1. Why does the writer say “it feels like a century” in Paragraph 1?( ) A. Because the writer has been away from the UK for a very long time. B. Because the three - day stay in the UK has brought many digital problems. C. Because the writer misses China very much. D. Because the writer doesn't like Christmas in the UK. 1. What does the underlined phrase “cost me an arm and a leg” in Paragraph 2 mean?( ) A. Was very expensive. B. Was very difficult. C. Was very tiring. D. Was very interesting. 1. Why couldn't the writer pay with the smartphone in the shop?( ) A. Because the shopkeeper didn't like digital payments. B. Because the writer didn't know how to use the payment system. C. Because the shop didn't support digital payments. D. Because the writer's digital wallet had no money. 1. What did the writer do when the ordered dishes arrived?( ) A. Ate them immediately. B. Threw them away. C. Shared them with family. D. Heated them in the oven. 1. What can we learn from the passage?( ) A. The writer doesn't like the life in the UK at all. B. The writer prefers the convenient life in China. C. Digital payments are popular in the UK. D. Shared bikes are expensive in China. 2、 完形填空。 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for three days, but it 1._ like a century!

B解析：根据第一段 “However, I've had some digital problems here.” 可知，作者回到英国三天感觉像过了一个世纪，是因为这三天遇到了很多数字技术方面的问题，B选项正确。A选项作者刚回英国，并非离开很久；C选项文中未提及想念中国；D选项作者提到喜欢圣诞节和美食，并非不喜欢英国的圣诞节，所以选B。 2. A解析：根据 “more than five pounds” 可知，此处表示15分钟的骑行花费超过五英镑，所以 “cost me an arm and a leg” 意思是非常昂贵，A选项正确。B选项非常困难；C选项非常累人；D选项非常有趣，均不符合语境，所以选A。 3. C解析：从第三段 “I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code, but she didn't understand! Next, I tried to use my digital wallet, but the shop's payment system didn't work.” 可知，作者不能用智能手机支付是因为商店不支持数字支付，C选项正确。A选项文中未提及店主不喜欢数字支付；B选项不是作者不会使用支付系统；D选项未提到作者数字钱包没钱，所以选C。 4. D解析：由第四段 “When my dishes finally arrived 90 minutes later, they were stone cold! I had to heat them one by one in the oven.” 可知，作者收到的菜凉了，所以在烤箱里加热，D选项正确。A选项没有立刻吃；B选项没有扔掉；C选项未提及和家人分享，所以选D。 5. B解析：根据最后一段 “However, I'm looking forward to going back to China. The technology there lets me live a more convenient life!” 可知，作者更喜欢中国方便的生活，B选项正确。A选项作者提到除了数字问题，假期很愉快，并非不喜欢英国生活；C选项从作者经历可知数字支付在英国不普遍；D选项文中说的是英国共享单车贵，而非中国，所以选B。 2、 完形填空。 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday.

( ) A. popular B. expensive C. cheap D. easy 15. ( ) A. past B. present C. future D. moment 答案及解析 1. B解析：根据前文 “but it feels like a century” 可知此处选feels，feel like “感觉像”，looks like “看起来像”；sounds like “听起来像”；smells like “闻起来像”，所以选B。 2. A解析：根据前文 “However” 及后文描述的各种不便，可知遇到了数字方面的问题，problems “问题”，advantages “优点”；changes “变化”；solutions “解决方案”，所以选A。 3. C解析：it took some time to do sth. “做某事花费一些时间”，sometimes “有时”；some times “几次”；sometime “某时”，所以选C。 4. C解析：cost的主语是物，sth. cost sb. + 金钱，表示 “某物花费某人多少钱”，这里that 15 - minute ride作主语，所以用cost。paid的主语是人，pay...for... “为……支付……”；took常用it作形式主语，It takes sb. some time to do sth. “做某事花费某人多少时间”；spent的主语是人，spend...on sth. / (in) doing sth. “在某事上花费…… / 花费……做某事”，所以选C。 5. B解析：根据后文 “I asked the shopkeeper to show the QR code” 可知作者想用手机支付，pay “支付”，buy “买”；take “拿”；bring “带来”，所以选B。 6. B解析：根据前文 “but she didn't understand” 可知选understand，know “知道”；see “看见”；hear “听见”，所以选B。 7. A解析：根据后文作者不能用数字钱包支付可知，商店支付系统不工作，work “工作，起作用”，open “打开”；close “关闭”；stop “停止”，所以选A。 8. C解析：根据后文 “I was so tired that I gave up on cooking” 可知选tired，happy “开心的”；sad “悲伤的”；excited “兴奋的”，所以选C。 9. A解析：instead “代替，反而”，此处表示放弃做饭，而是通过应用程序点餐，too “也”，用于肯定句末；also “也”，用于句中；either “也”，用于否定句末，所以选A。 10. B解析：根据前文 “I felt tired and hungry” 可知选hungry，full “饱的”；thirsty “渴的”；angry “生气的”，所以选B。 11. A解析：look forward to doing sth. “期待做某事”，所以用going，come “来”；return “返回”；get “得到”，come、return、get要表达 “回到” 需加back，且形式也不符合look forward to doing，所以选A。 12. B解析:根据前文描述在英国遇到的不便及最后一句 “make people's lives more convenient” 可知，中国的技术让生活更方便，convenient “方便的”，difficult “困难的”；interesting “有趣的”；boring “无聊的”，所以选B。 13. A解析：the use of... “……的使用”，此处表示习惯了共享单车等的使用，useless “无用的”；useful “有用的”；using是use的动名词形式，这里需要名词，所以选A。 14. A解析：根据前文在英国遇到的共享单车难找、不能数字支付等情况可知，这些在英国似乎没那么流行，popular “流行的”，expensive “昂贵的”；cheap “便宜的”；easy “容易的”，所以选A。 15. C解析：in the future “在未来”，作者希望未来英国也能发展这些技术，in the past “在过去”；in the present “在现在”；at the moment “此刻”，所以选C。 3、 语法填空。 I've studied in China for a year and now it's the Christmas holiday. I've been back in the UK for three days, but it 1.____ (feel) like a century! It's amazing 2.____ (see) my family. Also, I really love Christmas and the delicious food. However, I've had some digital problems here. Today, I wanted to get some vegetables and meat from a shop. I decided 3.____ (ride) a shared bike to get there. But it took forever to find a bike!

I'm used to 9.____ (make) digital payments and using shared bikes in China. Here in the UK, these things seem not as popular. I hope that in the future, the UK can also develop these technologies 10.____ (make) people's lives more convenient. 1. feels：主语it是第三人称单数，描述现在的感受，用一般现在时，所以feel用第三人称单数形式feels。 2. to see：it is + adj. + to do sth.是固定句型，it作形式主语，真正的主语是后面的动词不定式，所以用to see。 3. to ride：decide to do sth. “决定做某事”，是固定搭配，所以用to ride。 4. to show：ask sb. to do sth. “要求某人做某事”，是固定用法，所以用to show。 5. to use：tell sb. to do sth. “告诉某人做某事”，是固定搭配，所以用to use。 6. arrived：根据时间状语90 minutes later可知，描述过去发生的动作，用一般过去时，arrive的过去式是arrived。 7. going：look forward to doing sth. “期待做某事”，to是介词，后接动词 - ing形式，所以用going。 8. live：let sb. do sth. “让某人做某事”，所以用动词原形live。 9. making：be used to doing sth. “习惯做某事”，所以用making。 10. to make：此处用动词不定式作目的状语，表示发展这些技术的目的是让人们的生活更方便，所以用to make。 四、词汇翻译填空。 In the 21st 1. ______(世纪), the world has witnessed见证rapid 2. __________(发展) in 3. ______(数字的) technology.

A解析：instead of是固定短语，意为“代替，而不是”，这里表示书上的字是静止的，而不是像屏幕上的字那样移动，所以选A。because of表示原因，according to是“根据”，out of“出于，由于”，均不符合语境。 3. B解析：前文Tommy说“我们的电视屏幕上肯定有上百万本书，我猜读完书就扔掉，真是浪费”，所以这里表示他不会扔掉电视屏幕（因其有很多书），wouldn't符合语境，选B。 4. B解析：根据第八段“Margie wanted to read about those funny schools.”可知，Margie觉得这种学校有趣，funny“有趣的，好笑的”，strange“奇怪的”，boring“无聊的”，interesting“有趣的”，但前文已用strange描述书，这里用funny更合适，所以选B。 5. C解析：从第九段“Her teacher was a machine.”可知，Margie的老师是一台机器，所以选C。person是人，robot机器人，computer电脑，文中明确说是machine，所以不选其他。 6. C解析：根据“Please put yesterday's homework in the opening.”可知，是把作业放进开口处，opening“开口，孔洞”，box“盒子”，drawer“抽屉”，bag“包”，所以选C。 7. B解析：根据第十段“Margie did so sadly.”可知，Margie很伤心地照做了，happily“开心地”，excitedly“兴奋地”，quickly“快速地”，均不符合语境，所以选B。 8. B解析：从最后一段“Margie was thinking about how the students must have loved school in the old days.”可知，Margie认为过去的学生一定很喜欢学校，loved“喜欢”，hated“讨厌”，disliked“不喜欢”，虽然enjoy也有“喜欢”之意，但这里强调过去学生对学校的喜爱，loved更合适，所以选B。 9. A解析：can't help doing sth.是固定搭配，意为“忍不住做某事”，所以用thinking，选A。 10. D解析：be equipped with“配备有……”，这里表示她知道自己的学校配备了现代技术，be filled with“充满”，be full of“充满”，cover with“覆盖”，所以选D。 11. A解析：lonely表示“孤独的”，强调内心感受，alone“独自的”，强调独自一人的状态，tired“疲惫的”，bored“无聊的”，这里Margie觉得有点孤独，lonely更合适，所以选A。 12. C解析：前文提到机器让她把作业放进开口处，这里是开始做数学作业，homework“作业”，lessons“课程”，books“书”，problems“问题”，所以选C。 13. C解析：这里是宾语从句，从句中did缺少宾语，用what引导，where表示地点，how表示方式，why表示原因，所以选C。 14. D解析：pull oneself表示“控制自己，使自己振作起来”，这里Margie在机器提醒后，控制自己集中注意力，wake“醒来”，realize“意识到”，find“找到”，所以选D。 15. D解析：have/get/take a taste of都有“体验，尝试”的意思，所以选D。 3、 语法填空。 In her diary, on 17 May 2157, Margie wrote: “Today, Tommy found a real book!” It was a very old book. They turned the old, yellow pages.

They had a teacher, but it was a person. There was a special building, and all the kids and teachers went there.” Margie wanted to read about those funny schools. But her mother called, “Margie!

Suddenly, the machine's voice became louder, “Margie, please focus on your homework.” She pulled 10.____ (she) together and tried to concentrate. 1. to read：“It is + adj. + to do sth.”为固定句型，it作形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式，所以此处填to read。 2. moving：instead of是介词短语，后接动词 - ing形式，故填moving。 3. wouldn't：根据前文Tommy觉得书读完就扔很浪费，以及电视屏幕有很多书，可推测他不会扔掉电视屏幕，结合上文时态，此处用wouldn't。 4. was lit：screen与light up（点亮）之间是被动关系，且描述过去的动作，所以用一般过去时的被动语态was lit。 5. was thinking：此处表示Margie当时正在想着旧学校，用过去进行时was thinking。 6. have loved：“must have done”表示对过去事情的肯定推测，意为“一定做过某事”，所以填have loved。 7. wondering：“can't help doing sth.”是固定搭配，意为“忍不住做某事”，所以填wondering。 8. was equipped：school与equip（配备）之间是被动关系，且根据上下文用一般过去时，所以用was equipped。 9. have had：“might have done”表示对过去事情的推测，意为“可能做过某事”，所以填have had。 10. herself：pull oneself together为固定短语，意为“振作起来”，这里主语是She，所以用herself。 四、词汇翻译填空。 A Story about Technology and Life 1.________ (如今), technology has made great 2._______ (进步) and deeply influenced our daily lives.
