But more than 30 years later, more and more people are turning away from television. So, have people kicked TV viewing habits? Well, many of us may not watch traditional TV, but instead we’re watching TV programmes on mobile devices (设备). It was the Scotsman John Logie Baird who made the first television in 1925. At first not many people were impressed because the quality of the early television was poor and TV programmes weren’t good enough. But progress was quietly being made. Just after World War Ⅱ, around 8,000 homes in the US had a TV. By 1960, this number had risen to more than 45 million. TV viewing became one of the family activities. And when the choice was limited in the early days, millions of people watched the same shows together—something we may now call “event television”. Cable TV with hundreds of channels began to change that, and “event television” became rare. Although short videos have been popular recently, perhaps the move away from communal (公共的) TV began when television sets became cheaper and families could afford to buy an extra one. There was no more fighting about what to watch—but also less watching together. Now, as young people are used to getting the latest information quickly, television shows no sign of making a return. Television will certainly change. Experts (专家) say it has a future with sports and news. But scripted shows like comedies and dramas will be watched more on mobile devices and less on TV. ( ) 31. What does the underlined word “kicked” mean? A. Got into. B. Put into. C. Given up. D. Picked up. ( ) 32. Why do people turn away from television according to the passage? ① Short videos are popular. ② Families don’t often watch TV together. ③ The quality of TV programmes is poor. ④ Young people would like to get information quickly. A. ①②③④ B. ①②④ C. ①③④ D. ②③④ ( ) 33. What’s the best title of the passage? A. The Drug of the Nation B. Short Videos Become More Popular C. Traditional TV Viewing Changes D. Ways to Move Away from Television Unit 2 I think life is better today. 一、单词拼写 1. We used to use c (蜡烛) for the dark night during our childhood. 2.

China’s first 10,000-metre scientific exploration well (井), named Shenditake 1, was successfully completed at a depth of 10,910 metres underground in the Tarim Basin, Xinjiang. Humans have achieved great things by exploring the sky, the sea, and the earth. After the “Chang’e Lunar Mission” explored space and the “Jiaolong Submersible” dived deep into the sea, China has now made big progress in exploring deep into the earth. Shenditake 1, in the middle of the Taklimakan Desert, known as the “Sea of Death”, has set a new Asian record for deep earth drilling (钻探), and the well was drilled using China’s self-developed tools. The digging process was full of challenges. From the surface to 10,000 metres, it took only 279 days, but the final 910 metres took more than 300 days to complete due to hard conditions under the ground. The well met many difficulties such as tool failures, holes falling down, and heavy loads. However, with the support of new technology and tools, Chinese engineers overcame these challenges and achieved this historic breakthrough. This success marks an important step forward in China’s deep earth drilling engineering. Shenditake 1 is a proud symbol of China’s scientific and technological progress. It shows that China has the ability to achieve great things, just as it has done in deep space and deep sea exploration. This achievement will inspire more scientists and engineers to continue exploring the mysteries of our planet. ( ) 26. Why is Shenditake 1 so special? A. Because it set a new world record. B. Because it used foreign tools. C. Because it reached a new Asian record depth. D. Because it discovered oil on the moon. ( ) 27. Which of the following pictures shows the drilling process? ( ) 28. What does the underlined word “breakthrough” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Effort. B. Effect. C. Progress. D. Hope. ( ) 29. What’s the main topic of the passage? A. Oil exploration in China. B. China’s achievements in space exploration. C. Challenges in deep earth drilling. D. China’s progress in deep earth drilling. 六、任务型阅读 I used to live in a small town with trees all around. I left my hometown about 30 years ago. But I still remember what it was exactly like. And I often “see” it in many of my dreams. My hometown is a beautiful place. It stands beside a wide river and is rich in fish and rice. But in the old days it was a poor little town. Many people had no work. They lived a hard life. There was no tall building and the only street was narrow (狭窄的). But trees and flowers made the town beautiful. Just outside the town, there was a river. You could see different kinds of fish swimming in the clear water. People there lived a simple life. Since the government took a new policy ( 政策), great changes have taken place there. The streets have been widened. Schools, cinemas and theatres have been built one after another. People’s life is greatly improved. You can see tall buildings, big department stores and factories everywhere. Different kinds of cars and buses are running in the wide streets.
