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。]

及的正是这方面的话题。故选B项。」

施方案,大家对这个决定看法不一。

ture,though,is not a wall,but a fence”可知,第一段
是用作比较的方式展开的。故选C。]
5.C[细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Even fences built

属圆硬币,最后发明了纸币—中国成为世界上第一个
制作纸币的国家。
1.F[结合文章语境可知,在纸币发明前人们用实物来
买卖,F项就是对那个时代物物交换的一个举例
说明。」
2.B「根据下文的内容可知,在公元前1200年使用贝

文应该提到随着经济发展,之前物物交换的方式不方
便、不实用。分析选项可知B项符合题意。」

上许多其他国家也开始这样做,即也使用贝壳来作为

2.课时作业
I.A.[语篇解读]这是一篇说明文。研究人员通过
测试来自不同海域的海龟,发现海龟的胃里有微型塑料
颗粒。相关学者认为海龟体内的这些颗粒可能更多,颗
粒主要来自被污染的海水和植物。文章号召人们控制
对海洋的污染。

found microplastics in the stomach of every single tur-
tle they tested-一a total of 102 sea turtles'”可知,一项
新的研究发现,他们检测的总共102只海龟里,每只
海龟的胃里都有微型塑料。由此可知,海洋中的微型
塑料问题已经在很大程度上影响到了海龟。故画线
短语意思为“产生影响”。]
2.DL细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The researchers
tested more than...man-made things shorter than
5 mm in length”可知,研究人员测试了100多只海龟,
他们正在寻找长度小于5毫米的人造物体。由此可
知,研究人员通过测试来自不同海域的海龟发现了微
型塑料问题。故选D]
3.A[推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可知,由于体积
较小,这些颗粒对海龟的影响尚不清楚,相对于经常
被报道的较大的塑料来说,它们可以顺利地通过胃,
而不产生任何问题。由此可推知,大的塑料会对海龟
造成问题。故选A。
