In a recent Wall Street Journal article, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so,we would be able to com- municate with one another via small earpieces with built-in microphones.That's because tech- nological progress is extremely rapid.It's only a matter of time.Indeed,some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should learn a second language. It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating "No es bueno dormir mucho”into“It's not good to 方法总结 sleep too much".Replacing a word with its equivalent(对等词)in the target language is actually the easy part of a translator's job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers. It's so difficult for computers because transla- tion doesn't-or shouldn't-involve simply trans- lating words,sentences or paragraphs.Rather, it's about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression,hu- mans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression:vol- ume,gesture,situations,and even your cul- ture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use. Therefore,we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us.If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better?Unless engi- neers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer,undoubtedly when it comes to conve- ying and interpreting meaning using a natural language,a machine will never fully take our place. L.What does the underlined word“imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Ready. B.Approaching. C.Unpractical.

Ⅱ.阅读填句 Advantages of School Uniforms Many public school systems across the country are instituting school uniforms in an ef- fort to improve overall school performance and to reduce negative behavior.1.Below is a summary of the advantages of school uniforms. Cost In some cases,the use of school uniforms is more affordable to families because there is not as much pressure as buying expensive, trendy clothing.2.Except the initial cost of buying uniforms,there is no need to spend more money on clothing.

To begin with,we have changed 4 we shop-away from smaller stores like those in malls and towards stand-alone“big box” stores,which is a greater problem for most physical stores. Also,rising income 5 has left less of the nation's money in the hands of the middle class,and the traditional retail stores that 6 them have suffered.It is estimated that since 1970,the share of the nation's income earned by families in the middle class has fallen from almost two-thirds to around 40 percent.As the 7 of income at the top rises,overall retail suffers simply because high-income people save a much larger share of their money.The gov- ernment reports 8 for different income lev- els in the official Consumer Expenditure Sur- vey.In the latest data,people in the top 10 per- ·1 课时作业 cent of income 9 almost a third of their in- come after taxes. People in the middle of the in- 空 come distribution spent 100 percent of their in- 间 come.10 ， as the middle class has been squeezed and more has gone to the top， it has纠错空间 meant higher saving rates overall. Lastly， we have spent 11 less of in- come on things and more on services. Since 1960， we went from spending 5 percent of our income on health to almost 18 percent， govern- ment statistics show. We spend more on educa 1 tion， entertaiment， business services and all sorts of other products that are n't 12 in traditional retail stores. Economists debate the- ories of why we have 13 to services from goods but no one denies that it has happened. It means that over time， retailers selling 14 will have to run harder and harder just to stay in place. In short， the broad forces hitting retail are more a lesson in economics than in the power of 15. It'sa les son all retailers will have to learn someday. 1.A.business B.disaster C.investment D.strategy 2.A.advanced B.confirmed 方法总结 C.overstated D.undervalued 3.A.economic B.legal C.physical D.political 4.A.how B.what C.where D.why 5.A.distribution B.inequality C.level D.tax 6.A.aim at B.approve of C.compete with D.stem from 7.A.concentration B.influence C.security D.source 8.A.education B.employment C.housing D.spending 9.A.concealed B.donated C.earned D.saved 10.A.Instead B.However C.Moreover D.Therefore 11.A.cautiously B.intelligently C.relatively D.prospectively 12.A.available B.insufficient C.popular D.uncommon 13.A.applied B.committed C.shifted D.tied 14.A.ideas B.patents C.services D.things 15.A.consumption B.habit C.income D.technology巴英语 3.课时作业 1.[语篇解读]本文属于议论文。去外国旅行而不用 担心语言障碍是不是很美妙？本文以此展开谈论，进而 讨论了通过现代科学技术，语言障碍能不能变小甚至消 失的问题。 1.B[考查词义猜测。根据第二段的最后两句可知，用 机器交流仅仅是个时间问题，一些父母十分相信这种 技术即将来临，以至于他们不知道自己的孩子是否还 需要学习第二语言，故选B。] 2.B考查细节理解。根据第四段内容可知，翻译不仅 仅是翻译单词、句子和段落，确切地说，它是有关意思 的转换，为了推断一个具体短语的意思，人类不得不 同时理解很多信息，故可知，单词真正的意思是会随 着语境的变化而变化的。所以选B。」 3.A[考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it,how can we expect a machine to do better ”可以推测出，准确的翻译对于人来说很难。故 选A。] 4.D[考查主旨大意。根据文章内容，尤其是文章开头 "Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign coun- try without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language”可知，本文主 要讨论了语言障碍会不会变小的问题。故选D。] Ⅱ，[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，向读者介绍了几 条在学校穿校服的好处。 1.D[根据上文讲全国许多公立学校提出穿校服可知， 空处应是讲穿校服这件事已成为全国性的热，点话题， 故选D项。] 2.E[本段主要讲使用校服的成本，选项E的内容与本 段主旨相符，且与空后一句衔接自然，故选E项。] 3.G[根据本段的小标题Behavioral Outcomes可知，本 段主要是说学生穿校服在约束行为方面的效果。选 项G中的behave more appropriately与本段主旨对 应，故选G项。」 4.A[分析文章结构可知，本空为本段小标题。本段主 要讲学生穿校服后在学业方面的影响及效果，再结合 选项可知选A项。] 5.C[根据本段小标题Social Outcomes可知，本段主要 是讲学生穿校服后的社交效果，选项C中的a social coordinator与本段主旨对应，故选C项。」 Ⅲ.[语篇解读]这是一篇议论文。文章就零售业面临 的寒冬作了分析，指出并非是电商崛起抢占了零售业的 市场份额，而是出于一些经济方面的原因。 1.B[根据前文描述的2019年有9000多家零售商铺 倒闭推断，此处应该指的是零售界的一场灾难。故 选B。 2.C从下文的分析来看，网上购物并没有对零售业造 成太大的影响，所以这里要表达所谓的电商威胁到了 零售业是比较夸张的说法。故选C。] ·5 选择性必修第四册 3.A[后文分别详述了三个影响因素，并且都是经济方 面的。故选A。」 4.C[此处表示我们改变了购物的地点，从后句破折号 解释的内容来看，是在说明购物地点的玫变，故选C。] 5.B[句意：此外，收入不平等加剧，使得国家的钱越来 越少地落入中产阶级手中，针对中产阶级的传统零售 店也受到了影响。后文中也用统计数据说明了中产 阶级家庭收入的占比在下降，也就是出现了不平衡的 情况。故选B。] 6.A[零售商与中产阶级的关系紧密，容易推断零售商 的目标客户就是中产阶级。故选A。」 7.A[句意：随着收入向最顶端集中程度的上升，整体 零售业受到影响，原因只是高收入人群把钱存起来的 比例大得多。结合下文高收入人群把钱存起来的比 例加大的内容可以推断，这里指资金在上层阶级的集 中，也与前文的收入不平衡呼应。故选A。] 8.D[句意：政府在官方的消费者支出调查中报告了不 同阶层的消费情况。空处与Expenditure对应，指政 府对于消费情况的调查。故选D。 9.D[根据下文中的“it has meant higher saving rates overall'”可以推断，这里指高收入人群将税后收入的近 三分之一存了起来。故选D。] 10.D[分析语境可知，最终要得出的结论是储蓄率上 升，这与前面所提的事实存在因果关系。故选D。] 11.C[句意：最后，我们在物品上的支出相对下降，而 在服务上的支出增加。这里对在实体和服务上的花 销进行对比，即存在一种相对关系。故选C。] 12.A[句意：我们把更多的钱花在了教育、娱乐、商业 服务和其他各种在传统零售店买不到的产品上。前 面列举的都是服务项目，与实体商品形成对比，这些 服务都是零售店提供不了的。故选A。] 13.C[这里承接上文继续说明人们重服务轻商品的现 象，即从商品转向服务。故选C。] 14.D[此处表示随着时间的推移，出售实物的零售商 们要想生存下去会越来越艰难，与前文“less of in come on things and more on services'”对应，零售商 们难以生存就是因为他们销售的是实物商品。故 选D。] 15.D[此处表示打击零售业的广泛力量更多的是经济 学方面的因素，而不是技术的力量。根据第一段中 "Collectively,three major 3 economic)forces have had an even bigger impact on brick-and-mortar retail than the Internet has”可知，零售业的寒冬并 非是网络技术发展、电商崛起造成的，而更多地源于 经济因素。故选D。] 4.课时作业 I.A.[语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者和 丈夫带着孩子们进行了一次长达32天、跨越5232英里 且没有带任何电子产品的越野露营旅行。
