As I read, I underline words and phrases that seem useful. But how do I know I’ve collected “enough” useful words and expressions? I look at what I’ve underlined and ask myself if I can retell the main ideas from the material with them. If so, then I know I’ve done a good job.

In recent years, 3 foreign tourists like Ashton have been sharing their experiences of visiting China online. Topics about travel in China are becoming more and more 4 .

Sure, sending an email is fast and convenient, but I think email makes communication less 1 because people usually pay little attention to their emails. They give more 2 to real letters. I think sending a real letter shows that you care about the person. It takes time to prepare, which shows that the writer is more 3 than when he or she quickly types an email. Getting a handwritten note makes the person feel special. I love handing handwritten letters in my mailbox. I also write letters because I like to make art.

My friends all moved away to different places after high school, and I don’t have time to sit down and write and post letters to them every week. Sending them emails is so much more convenient. With email, I can write to them whenever I want. Then, they can read my emails right away and send a 6 just as fast. With emails, I can 7 many people at the same time. When I want to say “hi!” to old friends, I just put in their email addresses, type up a note, and send it out—no paper, no stamps, no 8 for the letters to travel over land and sea. Email helps people keep in touch, and, in the end, that’s what’s important, right? 2 / 27 1 / 27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题01 选词填空进阶练20篇 Passage 1 Building a Word “Bank” A．match    B．personally    C．go through    D．importantly    E.secret We all wish there was a magic trick to memorize English words effortlessly.

With email, I can write to them whenever I want. Then, they can read my emails right away and send a 6 just as fast. With emails, I can 7 many people at the same time. When I want to say “hi!” to old friends, I just put in their email addresses, type up a note, and send it out—no paper, no stamps, no 8 for the letters to travel over land and sea. Email helps people keep in touch, and, in the end, that’s what’s important, right? 【答案】1．C 2．E 3．D 4．B 5．E 6．A 7．D 8．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了Meredith和Thomas对电子邮件和手写信件的不同看法和偏好。 1．句意：当然，发电子邮件既快速又方便，但我认为电子邮件使沟通变得不那么有意义，因为人们通常不太注意他们的电子邮件。根据下文“because people usually pay little attention to their emails”和备选词汇可知，因为人们通常不太注意他们的电子邮件，所以此处是指电子邮件交流不那么有意义了；考查meaningful“有意义的”，形容词，在作中句宾语补足语。故选C。 2．句意：他们给予真实信件更多的关注。根据上文“people usually pay little attention to their emails”和备选词汇可知，人们通常不太注意他们的电子邮件，而是重点关注真实信件；考查attention“注意，关注”，名词。故选E。 3．句意：准备一封信需要时间，这表明写信人比快速敲打电子邮件时更加深思熟虑的。根据上文“It takes time to prepare,”和备选词汇可知，写信需要时间准备，所以此处是指写信的人更加深思熟虑的；考查thoughtful“深思熟虑的，体贴的”，形容词，在句中作表语。故选D。 4．句意：当我发送一封我自己制作的真实信件时，我想象着对方真的很喜欢它。根据下文“My friends understand that I made it just for them and I’m sending them more than just words on a page.”可知，作者的朋友们明白作者是专门为他们制作的，而且作者发送给他们的不仅仅是页面上的文字，所以此处是表达了作者对自己亲手制作的信件被对方欣赏的期待和想象；考查imagine“想象”，动词，符合语境。故选B。 5．句意：我现在几乎不再拿起笔了，因为我用手机做所有的事情——规划我的日程、阅读新闻或写电子邮件。根据空后“my schedule”和备选词汇可知，此处是指规划行程；考查planning“计划，规划”，动名词，与“reading”和“writing”为并列关系，符合语境。故选E。 6．句意：然后，他们可以立刻阅读我的电子邮件，并同样快速地回复。根据“they can read my emails right away and send a …”和备选词汇可知，此处是指他们可以马上阅读我的邮件并回复我；考查reply“回复”，名词，符合语境。故选A。 7．句意：通过电子邮件，我可以同时联系到很多人。根据“I can … many people at the same time”和备选词汇可知，此处是指是通过电子邮件能够同时与多人建立联系或传达信息；考查reach“联系，与……取得联系”，动词；空前为情态动词“can”，这里应用动词原形。故选D。 8．句意：当我想向老朋友问好时，我只需输入他们的电子邮件地址，打上一则便条，然后发送出去——不需要纸张、邮票，也不需要等待信件穿越陆地和海洋。根据上文“Then, they can read my emails right away and send a … just as fast.”和备选词汇可知，此处强调了电子邮件的便捷性，即它省去了传统信件所需的一些物理和时间上的环节，所以此处是指不需要等待信件穿越陆地和海洋；考查wait for“等待”，动词短语；空前有“no”，这里应用动名词waiting。故选B。 2 / 27 1 / 27 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
