In the early1800s, sending a letter via horseback could take weeks. The invention of the telegraph in 1844 revolutionized long-distance communication, allowing messages to be transmitted in minutes. By the 1870s, telephones began connecting households, though only 1 in 5,000 people owned one initially. The 20th century saw further advancements. In 1920, radio broadcasts enabled real-time news sharing, reaching 60% of U.S. homes by 1930. Television followed, with 90% of American families owning a TV by1960. The Internet era began in the 1980s, and by 2005, over 1 billion people were online. Today, smartphones allow instant global communication at minimal cost. Interestingly, the time spent on traditional calls has declined. In 2010, the average person spent 100minutes per month on phone calls, but by 2023, this has dropped to just 30 minutes due to messaging apps. Meanwhile, video calls now account for 45% of communication among young adults. Despite these changes, some constants remain. A2022 survey found that 70% of people still value face-to-face conversations for building trust. As technology evolves, the challenge lies in balancing efficiency with human connection. 9．What was the primary impact of the telegraph’s invention? A．It accelerated long-distance communication. B．It reduced letter-sending costs. C．It replaced telephone systems. D．It increased radio popularity. 10．How many U.S. households had radios by 1930? A．60%.               B．30%.               C． 80%.               D．90%. 11．If the global online population grew from 1 billion in 2005 to 4.7 billion in 2023, what was the average annual increase (in billions)? A．0.15. B．0.45. C．0.37. D．0.21。 12．What can be inferred about modern communication trends? A．Traditional calls will disappear entirely. B．Face-to-face interaction remains significant. C．Video calls are unpopular with older generations. D．Messaging apps are less efficient than emails. 三、写作（1题） 13．下面是计算机的一些信息。 1. 最初的现代计算机发明与1946年，像一座大房子一样，重约30吨。 2. 现代的计算机又小又便宜，而且被广泛地应用于我们的日常生活中。 3. 计算机在我们的生活中变得越来越重要。 请根据上面信息提示，写一篇英语短文，介绍一下计算机的发展历程及带给我们的变化。 要求词数：80 — 120. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 《英语 基础模块2》（外研版 第二版） Unit 7 Inventions Make Life Better (Reading and Writing)同步过关练习 一、翻译（8题） 1．________________ v. 逐渐消失 2．________________ adj. 色彩丰富的 3．________________ n. 场景 4．________________ v. 使可能 5．________________ adv. 立即 6．________________ adj. 数码的 7．________________ n. 智能手机 8．________________ n. 设备 【答案】1．fade 2．colourful 3．scene 4．enable 5．instantly 6．digital 7．smartphone 8．device 二、阅读理解（5题） The Evolution of Communication Methods Over the past two centuries, human communication has undergone dramatic transformations.

(1844年电报的发明彻底改变了长途通信，使信息能在几分钟内传递。)”可知，电报让长途通信能在几分钟内完成，即加快了长途通信速度。故选A。 10．细节理解题。根据第二段“In 1920, radio broadcasts enabled real-time news sharing, reaching 60% of U.S. homes by 1930. (1920年，广播实现了实时新闻共享，到1930年已覆盖60%的美国家庭。)”可知，1930年美国60%的家庭拥有收音机。故选A。 11．细节理解题。根据第二段“The Internet era began in the 1980s, and by 2005, over 1 billion people were online. (互联网时代始于20世纪80年代，到2005年，全球已有超过10亿人上网。)”可知，2005年上网人数为10亿；结合题目给出的“2023 年达到47亿”，计算过程为：增长总量4.7-1= 3.7（十亿），时间跨度2023-2005=18年，年均增长3.7÷18≈0.21。故选D。 12．推理判断题。根据第四段“A 2022 survey found that 70% of people still value face-to-face conversations for building trust. (2022 年的一项调查发现，70% 的人仍然重视面对面交流，因为它能建立信任。)”可知，人们仍重视面对面交流，说明其仍然重要。故选B。 三、写作（1题） 13．下面是计算机的一些信息。 1. 最初的现代计算机发明与1946年，像一座大房子一样，重约30吨。 2. 现代的计算机又小又便宜，而且被广泛地应用于我们的日常生活中。 3. 计算机在我们的生活中变得越来越重要。 请根据上面信息提示，写一篇英语短文，介绍一下计算机的发展历程及带给我们的变化。 要求词数：80 — 120. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文： The Computer The first modern computer was invented in 1946, which was as big as a house and weighed about 30 tons. At that time, it was huge and expensive. Modern computers are much smaller and cheaper. They are widely used in our daily lives. People use them to study, work, shop and entertain. For example, not only can we search for information on the Internet but also chat with friends online. Computers are becoming more and more important in our life. They make our work more efficient and our life more colorful. Without computers, the world would be very different. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于说明文。介绍了计算机发展历程及给生活带来的变化。 【详解】1.词汇积累 发明：invented→ created 广泛地：widely→ broadly 日常的：daily→ everyday 重要的：important→ significant 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Modern computers are much smaller and cheaper. They are widely used in our daily lives. 拓展句：Modern computers, which are widely used in our daily lives, are much smaller and cheaper. 【点睛】【高分句型1】The first modern computer was invented in 1946, which was as big as a house and weighed about 30 tons. (运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】For example, not only can we search for information on the Internet but also chat with friends online.
