As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their 1 to do easy things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to become less 2 in talking with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They are 3 about the growing numbers of young students who can only play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to talk to their classmate or friends,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many students can’t get on well with others, but their parents say proudly that their children can 4 a computer or a smart phone well. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 5 play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good 6 if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to 7 with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad.

But do you know it really took human beings a very long time to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most 2 things to teach children is the idea of numbers. In ancient times when a man wanted to tell how many animals he 3 , he had no system of numbers to use. He put a 4 into a bag for each animal. The more animals owned, the more stones he had. It may explain 5 the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus”. “Calculus” means “stone”. Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they still had no 6 to tell the numbers, so they could not write the numbers down. Later on, people used fingers. Again, we have the word that 7 this. The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! The fact that we have 10 fingers 8 the use of 10 in the system of numbers. The Hindus in India 9 the number system we use today and Arab traders (商人) 10 it to Europe during the 8th to the 11th century. In this system, people count things with ten numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. It is called decimal system, that is, it is built on the base of 10. 1．A．one B．two C．three D．four 2．A．difficult B．wonderful C．important D．intelligent 3．A．killed B．ate C．had D．included 4．A．line B．stone C．finger D．stick 5．A．what B．how C．why D．when 6．A．words B．names C．books D．pens 7．A．goes back to B．looks forward to C．talks about D．happens to 8．A．came from B．was close to C．led to D．was made up of 9．A．wrote B．made C．produced D．invented 10．A．introduced B．developed C．gave D．sold 【答案】 1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 5．C 6．A 7．A 8．C 9．D 10．A 【导语】本文主要介绍了从古代到现在用数字表示东西多少的演变过程。 1．句意：很自然地，如果你有两美元，有人再给你两美元，你就有四美元。 one一个；two两个；three三个；four四个。根据“you have two dollars”及“you will have four dollars”可知，再额外得到两美元，就会有四美元，故选B。 2．句意：事实上，教给孩子们最困难的事情之一就是数字的概念。 difficult困难的；wonderful精彩的；important重要的；intelligent聪明的。根据“But do you know it really took human beings a very long time to be able to think this way”可知，人类花了很长时间才能以这种方式思考，所以教孩子们有数字的概念是困难的，故选A。 3．句意：在古代，当一个人想要说出他有多少动物时，他没有数字系统可以使用。 killed杀死；ate吃；had有；included包括。根据“how many animals he ”可知，他有多少只动物，故选C。 4．句意：他为每只动物放了一块石头到袋子里。 line线；stone石头；finger手指；stick棍子。根据“The more animals owned, the more stones he had”可知，放了一块石头到袋子里，故选B。 5．句意：这也许可以解释为什么“calculate”一词来自拉丁语“calculus”。 what什么；how怎样；why为什么；when何时。根据“It may explain … the word ‘calculate’ comes from the Latin word ‘calculus’”可知，解释为什么“calculate”一词来自拉丁语“calculus”，故选C。 6．句意：但是他们仍然没有词来描述这些数字，所以他们不能把数字写下来。 words词语；names名字；books书；pens钢笔。根据“People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count”可知，为每一件他们想数的东西画一条线，是因为他们没有词来描述这些数字，故选A。 7．句意：再一次，我们有一个词可以追溯到这个。 goes back to追溯到；looks forward to期待；talks about谈论；happens to发生。根据“Again, we have the word that … this”可知，这个词可以追溯到数字的概念，故选A。 8．句意：我们有10个手指的事实引起了10在数字系统中的使用。 came from来自；was close to离……近；led to引起；was made up of由……组成。根据“The fact that we have 10 fingers … the use of 10 in the system of numbers”可知，10个手指引起了10在数字系统中的使用，故选C。 9．句意：印度的印度教徒发明了我们今天使用的数字系统，阿拉伯商人在8世纪至11世纪将它引入欧洲。 wrote写；made制造；produced生产；invented发明。根据“The Hindus in India… the number system”可知，印度教徒发明了数字系统，故选D。 10．句意：印度的印度教徒发明了我们今天使用的数字系统，阿拉伯商人在8世纪至11世纪将它引入欧洲。 introduced引进；developed发展；gave给；sold卖。根据“Arab traders (商人) … it to Europe”可知，阿拉伯商人将它引入欧洲，故选A。 The Story Behind “Luan Qi Ba Zao” (乱七八糟)—A Chinese Idiom for Chaos In Chinese culture, the idiom “Luan Qi Ba Zao” is used to describe a situation that is completely messy or chaotic. Its meaning comes from two important historical 1 in ancient China. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–9 AD), Emperor Jingdi wanted to make the princes less powerful. This made seven princes very 2 . In 154 BC, they joined together to 3 the emperor. Their rebellion caused years of war, destroyed many cities, and left people’s lives in chaos. Although the emperor 4 won, the damage was huge. People later called this event “Luan Qi” (Chaotic Seven). Later, in the Jin Dynasty (266–420 AD), eight princes started fighting each other for power. This “Eight Princes’ Rebellion” 5 from 291 to 306 AD．The war burned villages, killed thousands of people, and made society fall apart. The word “Ba Zao” (Eight Troubles) became a 6 of long-lasting chaos. As time passed, people combined these two stories to 7 “Luan Qi Ba Zao”. They used it to talk about any situation that was as messy as these ancient wars. Today, we still use this phrase in daily life. For example: “My desk is a luan qi ba zao after studying all night!” This idiom shows how history can 8 language. By learning about “Luan Qi Ba Zao”, we not only understand a phrase but also remember the lessons from the past: fighting and chaos always bring suffering.

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their 1 to do easy things. They can’t make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to become less 2 in talking with others. “I have talked with a number of teachers. They are 3 about the growing numbers of young students who can only play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to talk to their classmate or friends,” said a teacher, Colin Kinney. Many students can’t get on well with others, but their parents say proudly that their children can 4 a computer or a smart phone well. Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and 5 play on a tablet (平板电脑) on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good 6 if he doesn’t learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn’t learn to 7 with others at a young age? Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or 8 a house. We shouldn’t blame (责备) the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly 9 for children to know how to use digital technology in today’s world. But what’s more, we should 10 them to develop social (社交的) abilities.

With the help of digital technology, 1 are living an easier and happier life. 2 in the past was not an easy job. Farmers worked hard all year round. At the same time they usually found it difficult to solve problems like 3 diseases (疾病) and pests (害虫). Now there have been big changes in farming. For example, in Dayi County, Sichuan Province, there are 13 digital farms with AI 4 . These machines help local farmers know when and 5 to fertilize (施肥) and kill pests. In this way, they make farmers work more easily with less time and energy. Thanks to the Internet, a new 6 called rural e-commerce (乡村电子商务) grows. Selling fresh fruit and vegetables to cities is faster. In the past, it was hard for people in 7 to know what villagers planted. Now, they can buy things 8 over the phones. The business also helps villagers live a digital life. They can get many things done on different kinds of apps. They can also use drones (无人机) to help with their farm work. More visitors travel in beautiful villages because of digital technology. A good example is Huacheng Town, Guangdong Province. To let more people know its culture and attract more visitors, it 9 a “digital town”. Visitors can know where to park their cars for free, when to 10 a ticket easily and what to buy online. They can also enjoy the view of nearly every part of the town by using VR. 1．A．villagers B．tourists C．businessmen D．fishermen 2．A．Designing B．Building C．Farming D．Repairing 3．A．grass B．pet C．animal D．plant 4．A．models B．machines C．tools D．cameras 5．A．who B．how C．what D．where 6．A．business B．company C．community D．culture 7．A．hills B．villages C．provinces D．cities 8．A．early B．slowly C．easily D．luckily 9．A．dreams of B．looks through C．turns into D．arrives at 10．A．order B．book C．sell D．offer More people believe technologies (科技) such as PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) are great for learning and they are widely used in courses. Many teachers are 1 of using PDAs in language learning. They say that students now have a lot more time for 2 in the classroom. 3 spending class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, they can do these on their own and come to class prepared for discussion. The teachers also say that PDAs 4 students to learn without their teachers’ help. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. Using PDAs is 5 helpful to students who are learning a language at their own speed. The students believe that using PDAs is a more 6 way to learn. The class has become much more interesting. By using PDAs, they can pay more attention to material and learn more. But many parents complain that technologies such as PDAs are 7 students. They worry that students might use them to cheat during exams. Some even argue (争论) that students may 8 old ways of learning and depend too much on technology. If a student spends more time watching video s on a PDA, he will have fewer 9 to have face-to-face communication with others. Education needs to make changes. We should look forward to a wonderful future when PDAs and other technologies can 10 a lot to the classroom. 1．A．providers B．officers C．characters D．supporters 2．A．discussion B．conversation C．advice D．homework 3．A．Because of B．Instead of C．With D．Through 4．A．advise B．allow C．manage D．ask 5．A．differently B．possibly C．especially D．recently 6．A．enjoyable B．classical C．smooth D．expensive 7．A．improving B．warning C．guiding D．harming 8．A．set up B．put up C．give up D．pick up 9．A．situations B．chances C．details D．purposes 10．A．organize B．see C．return D．add 三、U2单元话题热点预测 It’s a summer morning in 2040.

This 7 is from a person and he created the web. Last month in London, he said that one day we might also have much greater ownership (所有物) over the data. “I would like us to 8 a world. In the world, I would have my own data,” he said. “We’ll be able to write apps. They can take data 9 all different parts of my life, my friends’ lives and my family’s lives.” We never know what will happen in the future, but the world wide web in 2040 promises to be different.

We use digital devices in almost every part of our lives. Take education 1 an example. Students can now study online. They can 2 courses from famous teachers on the Internet. There are also many apps that can help them 3 their studies. For instance, some apps can correct their 4 mistakes when they write essays. In the business field, digital technology has 5 a lot. Companies can use e-commerce platforms to sell their products all over the world. They can also use digital tools to 6 their customers’ needs better and provide better services. However, digital life also has some 7 . There is the problem of information security. Hackers may steal our personal information 8 we are using the Internet.

But do you know it really took human beings a very long time to be able to think this way? In fact, one of the most 2 things to teach children is the idea of numbers. In ancient times when a man wanted to tell how many animals he 3 , he had no system of numbers to use. He put a 4 into a bag for each animal. The more animals owned, the more stones he had. It may explain 5 the word “calculate” comes from the Latin word “calculus”. “Calculus” means “stone”. Then, man used lines to count. People would just draw a line for each thing they wanted to count, but they still had no 6 to tell the numbers, so they could not write the numbers down. Later on, people used fingers. Again, we have the word that 7 this. The word “digit” comes from the Latin word “digitus”. It means “finger”! The fact that we have 10 fingers 8 the use of 10 in the system of numbers. The Hindus in India 9 the number system we use today and Arab traders (商人) 10 it to Europe during the 8th to the 11th century. In this system, people count things with ten numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 0. It is called decimal system, that is, it is built on the base of 10. 1．A．one B．two C．three D．four 2．A．difficult B．wonderful C．important D．intelligent 3．A．killed B．ate C．had D．included 4．A．line B．stone C．finger D．stick 5．A．what B．how C．why D．when 6．A．words B．names C．books D．pens 7．A．goes back to B．looks forward to C．talks about D．happens to 8．A．came from B．was close to C．led to D．was made up of 9．A．wrote B．made C．produced D．invented 10．A．introduced B．developed C．gave D．sold The Story Behind “Luan Qi Ba Zao” (乱七八糟)—A Chinese Idiom for Chaos In Chinese culture, the idiom “Luan Qi Ba Zao” is used to describe a situation that is completely messy or chaotic. Its meaning comes from two important historical 1 in ancient China. During the Western Han Dynasty (202 BC–9 AD), Emperor Jingdi wanted to make the princes less powerful. This made seven princes very 2 . In 154 BC, they joined together to 3 the emperor. Their rebellion caused years of war, destroyed many cities, and left people’s lives in chaos. Although the emperor 4 won, the damage was huge. People later called this event “Luan Qi” (Chaotic Seven). Later, in the Jin Dynasty (266–420 AD), eight princes started fighting each other for power. This “Eight Princes’ Rebellion” 5 from 291 to 306 AD．The war burned villages, killed thousands of people, and made society fall apart. The word “Ba Zao” (Eight Troubles) became a 6 of long-lasting chaos. As time passed, people combined these two stories to 7 “Luan Qi Ba Zao”. They used it to talk about any situation that was as messy as these ancient wars. Today, we still use this phrase in daily life. For example: “My desk is a luan qi ba zao after studying all night!” This idiom shows how history can 8 language. By learning about “Luan Qi Ba Zao”, we not only understand a phrase but also remember the lessons from the past: fighting and chaos always bring suffering. For our junior students, learning idioms like “Luan Qi Ba Zao” is like opening a door to China’s rich history. When we understand their origins, we can discover more about history, appreciate our culture better, and 9 our language skills. In this way, idioms are like 10 between the past and the present.

He graduated from the Southwest Agricultural(农业) University in 1953. Yuan Longping came up with an idea for a hybrid(杂交的) rice in the 1960s. Since then, he has devoted himself to the research and development of new varieties(品种). In 1973, together with other people, he 3 in the development of hybrid rice. This made China be a worldwide leader in rice production. For this, he was called “Father of Hybrid Rice”. In 1980, the technology for hybrid rice was 4 to the United States. 5 Professor Yuan’s hard work, China now produces enough rice to 6 her people every year. In his 7 time, he loved playing the violin and listening to music. Every night, he read for half an hour 8 he went to sleep. He liked swimming, too.
