Part 4 能力提升 【2024-2025武汉外国语学校十月月考】 A “Sha Tou” won the first gold medal in the Olympic table tennis events At the table tennis mixed doubles final of this Paris Olympic Games, Chinese pair Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, the “Sha Tou” combination, beat the North Korean team with a score of 4 to 2. It is China’s first Olympic gold medal in the table tennis mixed doubles, and also the first gold medal in the table tennis events of these Paris Olympics. Having won almost every major prize together, including two mixed doubles world championship titles in 2021 and 2023, Wang and Sun expected their first Olympic gold together as a special one, particularly following Team China’s final loss to host Japan in the mixed event’s Olympic debut (首次登台) in Tokyo in 2021. Black Myth: Wukong: the cultural meaning and global influence The Chinese game Black Myth: Wukong officially became available on Tuesday. Within just a few hours of its launch, it topped the best-selling list in 29 countries and regions on the game platform Steam, with more than 1. 1 million online players at the same time. The game’s presentation of Chinese culture has not only impressed Chinese players but also attracted a large number of foreign players. As a result, many International gamers are now reading the original book Journey to the West as a “required course” before experiencing the game. ______________________________________________________ Hong Kong (CNN) —In China, it’s possible to travel six miles in a driverless taxi for just about 50 cents. Self-driving cars, commonly called robotaxis, are being popularized at cut-throat prices in Wuhan, a sprawling metropolis of over 11 million people in central China. It has ambitions to become the world’s first driverless city, even as the vehicles often struggle to navigate the streets. “You’ll never have to buy a car,” a passenger inside one of the white robotaxi sedans said in a video that has been viewed over 80 million times on Chinese social media platform Weibo since last week. But the rapid adoption of the driverless taxis has rattled (-to make someone feel nervous or angry.) China’s gig economy workforce. And there have also been complaints about traffic jams. 51. In which section of the newspaper can we read the news? A. Arts and entertainment B. Book club C. Amazing week D. National news 52. How many major world titles have “Sha Tou” won together in mixed doubles before 2024 Paris Olympics? A. 2 B. 3 C. 4 D. Not known 53. The best heading for the third piece of news is ____________. A. Wuhan: the first driverless city in the world B. Never have to buy a car! C. Robotaxi——will it start widespread anxiety in China? D. Self-driving cars are coming! 54. According to the second piece of news, which statement is true? A. In order to play well, gamers should attend a course of Chinese literature. B. Black Myth: Wukong is a great example of how Chinese culture is represented. C. In a few hours of its launch, it topped the best-selling list in 29 countries and regions. D. There are more than 1. 1 million players at the same time after the official launch. 55. What do the three pieces of news have in common? A. They help people know all about what’s hot in China. B. They praise China for the rapid development of science and technology. C. They make Chinese readers feel proud of their country. D. They encourage people to come and visit China. B I came across one of my friends from the US and gave her a friendly greeting. Her reply was anything but friendly. “What?” “Er . . . You all right?” I tried again. She stared at me for a moment. Then suddenly the cloud seemed to lift from her mind. “Oh,” she said. “You mean, ‘How am I doing?’ I thought you meant I had something on my face.” As a British person in China, I knew there would be cultural and language barriers (障碍) between Chinese people and myself. However, I wasn’t expecting there to be cultural and language barriers between myself and other English-speaking foreigners. Before the London Olympics, a newspaper had shared a guide to British English for US people. For example, “Those are‘chips’ that go with your burger, instead of fries. You’d like some potato chips? Those are ‘crisps’.” Any conversation I have with a US person shows why a guide like this is necessary. British people try to know American words from TV or films, but Americans never seem to have enough knowledge about British English. The trouble is, it’s not just people from the US. When I speak English to non- English speakers, I never know whether they have learned British or American. When they say “chips”, for example do they mean French “fries” or “potato chips”? I can’t help thinking back to an article: “When you talk about “pants” in Britain, that means underwear.” “Trousers” is the better word to use. However, in this case, American English seems to have taken over. Everyone I know just says “pants”. 56. How did the US friend probably feel at first when the writer greeted her? A. Angry and sad. B. Warm and joyful. C. Surprised and confused. D. Excited and interested. 57. The underlined “the cloud seemed to lift from her mind” means ____________. A. she became confident in herself B. she was not sure what to do next C. she realized her mistakes at once D. she came to understand the situation 58. According to the guide, what do the US people call “chips”? A. Fries. B. Crisps. C. Potato chips. D. Burger chips. 59. Which might be true according to the passage? A. British people care little about American English. B. American English is slowly getting accepted in Britain. C. There is no language barrier among native English speakers. D. American English is more widely understood than British English. 60. What is the best title for this passage? A. Greet Americans Properly. B. Lift Language Barriers. C. An Embarrassing Moment. D. A Guide to British English. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第六讲Unit1 The Changing World Section B:How do changes influence us? 2Part1单词加油站 ★词汇表 1.link/Imk/n.交通路线；联系v.连接 12.conclusion/kn'klu:3n/m.总结 2.potp3tn.港口 13.narrow/'ner3/adj.狭窄的 3.capital/"kepitl/h.首都 14.villager/'vld3a)/m.村民 4.Kenyan/'"kenjan/m.肯尼亚人adj.肯尼亚的； 15.the Olympics /'lmmpiks/(-the Olympic 肯尼亚人的 Games)奥林匹克运动会 5.benefit/'benifit/v.得益于：使受益n.优势： 16.lead /li:d/v.(led /led,led)带领；过（某种生 益处 活)n.领先地位：主角 6.convenient/kan'vi:niant/adj.方便的 l7.man-made/,men'merd/adj.人造的；非天然 7.business/'biznas/n.生意；商业 的 8.ease/i:zn.容易；自在 l8.miracle/'mirakl//n.奇迹 9.with ease轻而易举地 l9.junior/d3 Inia(r)/adj.低年级的；初级的 10.lorry/'Ipri/n.卡车 20.flat/fiet/n.公寓 11.manager/'maenid39)/m.经理 21.discussion/dr'skAfn/h.讨论 22.aspect/'espekt/h.方面 ★重点单词变形 l.link v.连接m.联系、路线→linked adj.连接的；相关的 2.benefit v.使受益m.益处→beneficial adj.有益的；有利的 3.convenient adj.方便的→convenience n.便利；方便-→conveniently adv.方便地；便利地 4. ease n.容易；自在w.减轻→easy adj..容易的；轻松的→easily adv.容易地；轻松地 5. manage v.完成；应付→manager n.管理者→management n.经营；管理 6.conclude v.得出结论；结束→conclusion n.结论；结尾 7.narrow adj..狭窄的→wide adj..宽阔的（反义词）→narrowly adv..勉强地；狭窄地 8. village n.村庄→villager n.村民 9.lead v.带领；过生活m.领先；主角→led动词过去式/过去分词→leader n.领导者 10. discuss v.讨论；商量→discussion n.讨论 ★重点短语 8. hear of听说 1.a train system铁路系统 9.be known/.famous for因…而闻名 2. cut.to.把.缩短/削减到 10.attend group discussions参加小组讨论 3. benefit from.从…中受益 11.feed on以..为食 4.be happy with对….感到满意 l2.be determined to do决心去做某事 5.on time准时 l3.in many ways在许多方面 6.with ease轻而易举地 l4.stay the same保持不变 7.be far away from each other彼此相距遥远 Part2考点精讲 1.capital n.首都；省会；资本；资金 【搭配】the capital of+国家/地区；raise capital筹集资金 【例句】Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong Province..广州是广东省的省会。 【即学即用】 翻译句子：北京是中国的首都。 答案：Beijing is the capital of China 2.benefit from从…中受益；得益于 【同根词】benefit(v.受益m.益处)→beneficial(adj.有益的；有利的) 【例句】We can benefit a lot from reading books.我们能从读书中获益良多。 【即学即用】 Exercise is (benefit)to our health. 答案：beneficial 3.be happy with对·感到满意；对…感到高兴 【近义词组】be satisfied with;be pleased with 【同根词】happy(adj.高兴的；满意的)一happiness(n.幸福；满意)一→happily(adv.高兴 地)→unhappy(adj.不高兴的) 【例句】My parents are ha即py with my progress this term.我父母对我这学期的进步感到满意。 【即学即用】 翻译句子：她对自己的新手机感到满意。 答案：She is happy with her new phone. 4.convenient adj.方便的；便利的 【搭配】be convenient for sb.对某人方便；be convenient to do sth.做某事方便； make it+convenient+for sb.+to do sth.使某人做某事变得方便 【例句】It's convenient to go shopping by bike.骑自行车购物很方便。 【同根词】convenient(adj.方便的)一→convenience(n.方便；便利)、inconvenient(adj.不方便 的)、inconvenience(n.不便) 【即学即用】 E-payment makes convenient for people to buy local products 答案：it 5.with ease轻而易举地；容易地 【搭配】do sth.with ease轻而易举做某事；achieve success with ease轻松获得成功 【拓展】相关短语：at ease(舒适；自在)、feel at ease(感到自在) 【例句】He can finish the task with ease.他能轻而易举地完成这项任务。 【同根词】ease(n.容易；自在w.减轻)→easy(adj.容易的)、easily(adv.容易地) 【即学即用】 翻译句子：她轻而易举地通过了考试。 答案：She passed the exam with ease. 6.as a result因此；结果 【同义词/词组】therefore;thus;consequently;as a consequence 【同根词】result(n.结果W.导致)→resulting(adj.由此产生的) 【例句】He studied hard.As a result,he passed the exam.他努力学习，因此通过了考试。 7.conclusion n.总结；结论；结尾 【搭配】draw/reach a conclusion得出结论；in conclusion总之；最后 【同根词】conclude v.总结；推断 【例句】in conclusion,we should protect the environment..(总之，我们应该保护环境。) 【即学即用】 They came to a clear (conclude):good roads and railways can lead people to a better life 答案：conclusion 8.now that既然；由于 【用法】引导原因状从，后接完整句子 【例句】Now that it's sunny,we can go for a walk.既然天气晴朗，我们可以去散步。 【搭配】Now that we know..既然我们知道… 【同根词】now(adv.现在)→nowadays(adv.如今) 9.as well也；还 【用法】放在句子末尾，无逗号隔开：相当于t00,可替换使用： 【例句】I like English,.and I like math as well..(我喜欢英语，也喜欢数学。 【拓展】as well as除…之外还，后接名词/名词短语。用来连接两个并列的成分。 【例句】She is good at playing the piano as well as singing English songs. 她擅长唱英文歌，也擅长弹钢琴。 【注意】as well as连接两个成分作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式要与前面的主语的数保持一致，即： 就远原则。 【例句】Tom as well as his friends goes to school by bike.汤姆和他的朋友都骑自行车上学。 【即学即用】 1.Mary as well as her parents (enjoy)reading digital books. 2.My sister as well as I going to the library.

"What?" "Er...You all right?"I tried again. She stared at me for a moment.Then suddenly the cloud seemed to lift from her mind."Oh,"she said. "You mean,How am I doing?'I thought you meant I had something on my face." As a British person in China,I knew there would be cultural and language barriers (between Chinese people and myself.However,I wasn't expecting there to be cultural and language barriers between myself and other English-speaking foreigners. Before the London Olympics,a newspaper had shared a guide to British English for US people.For example,"Those are 'chips'that go with your burger,instead of fries.You'd like some potato chips?Those are‘crisps'.” Any conversation I have with a US person shows why a guide like this is necessary.British people try to know American words from TV or films,but Americans never seem to have enough knowledge about British English.The trouble is,it's not just people from the US.When I speak English to non-English speakers,I never know whether they have learned British or American.When they say "chips",for example do they mean French“fries”or“potato chips'?Ican't help thinking back to an article:s“When you talk about“pants' in Britain,that means underwear.""Trousers"is the better word to use.However,in this case,American English seems to have taken over.Everyone I know just says"pants" 56.How did the US friend probably feel at first when the writer greeted her? A.Angry and sad. B.Warm and joyful. C.Surprised and confused. D.Excited and interested 57.The underlined "the cloud seemed to lift from her mind"means A.she became confident in herself B.she was not sure what to do next C.she realized her mistakes at once D.she came to understand the situation 58.According to the guide,what do the US people call"chips"? A.Fries. B.Crisps. C.Potato chips. D.Burger chips. 59.Which might be true according to the passage? A.British people care little about American English. B.American English is slowly getting accepted in Britain. C.There is no language barrier among native English speakers. D.American English is more widely understood than British English. 60.What is the best title for this passage? A.Greet Americans Properly. B.Lift Language Barriers. C.An Embarrassing Moment. D.A Guide to British English. 56.C.Surprised and confused. 解析：作者打招呼后，美国朋友先回了一句“Wht?'并盯着作者看，说明她一开始没反应过来，感到 惊讶和困惑，而非愤怒、温暖或兴奋。 57.D.she came to understand the situation 解析：“the cloud seemed to lift from her mind'字面意思是“像乌云从脑海中散去”，指她突然明白了 当前的状况，理解了作者是在问候她。并非“意识到自己的错误”，所以D最贴切。 58.A.Fries 解析：文中指南举例：“Those are'chips'that go with your burger,.instead of fries.”意思是英国人把配 汉堡的薯条叫chips,而美国人则叫fries。因此，美国人对“chips'的对应说法是fries。 59.B.American English is slowly getting accepted in Britain. 解析：文章最后提到“American English seems to have taken over.Everyone I know just says 'pants'.”说 明美式表达（如用pants代替英式的trousers)正逐渐在英国被接受。A项错误，因为英国人试图 从影视中了解美式英语；C项错误，文中明显存在语言障碍；D项未提及。 60.B.Lift Language Barriers. 解析：全文从作者与美国朋友的问候误会入手，引出英语使用者（包括英美人士及非母语者）之间的 语言障碍，并讨论了英美词汇差异及美式英语的影响。“消除语言障碍”（或“跨越语言障碍”）最 能概括主旨。A项只涉及问候，C项只是开头事例，D项只提及指南，均过于片面。
