展开Module 2 Traffic JamⅠ.阅读理解A(2020·湖北省孝感市第一中学高三月考)Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk's flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electricpowered and will be able to travel at a speed up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot's license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $100.Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in DallasFt. Worth, Texas, US by 2020.Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The company has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel. Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。上周,Kitty Hawk和 Uber两家公司宣布他们很快就会使飞行汽车成为现实。文章具体介绍了两家公司研制的飞行汽车的一些特点。1.What may Kitty Hawk's flying car be used for at present?A.Accelerating the speed.

Her name is Grace. Grace was laid off from her job a little over two years ago and has been living off her savings ever since but not officially “retired”. Grace called me up one day about this time last year and asked if I had a ladder. She needed to clean out her gutters (水槽) on the roof and wanted me to hold the ladder.She didn't want me to climb up and clean the gutters. She just wanted me to hold the ladder. As it happened I did have a ladder. I said, “The leaves are going to fall off the trees in a month, why don't we wait till they finish and do it then?” She agreed and naturally we didn't talk about it again until spring. Spring in Tennessee is wild and we talked about it over the course of three weeks in which it rained nearly every day, then I got busy and Grace went into seclusion (隐居).A couple of weeks ago, she told me she'd been spending too much money and decided to apply for a bar tending job at a local hotel. “Now I don't know about you all but I'd never considered what it would be like to apply for and begin a new job at the age of seventy. I'm fiftythree and the older I get, the more I think about how great it'll be if I can just get out of bed when I'm seventy.” Anyway, she got the job, serving the bar and tending banquets at the hotel.The day when she left for her training at 6 am, I walked across the street with my ladder and cleaned out her gutters.篇章导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位时髦又能干的七十岁老太太。5.What did Grace want the author to do?A.Make a ladder.

B.Training for her job.C.Cleaning out her house. D.Walking with the author.答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第三段第一句、最后一句以及最后一段可知,Grace得到了一份酒店服务员的工作,作者写这篇文章的时候,Grace是在酒店上班,故选A。8.What did the author think of her neighbor's reemployment?A.Valuable.

It's easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. __1__Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires. Everything from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use Wi-Fi, thanks to these waves. __2__ Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard.None of that history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesn't stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance. __3__ So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members.__4__ The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保真)\” is thanks to the Alliance. Some members didn't understand the branding or marketing for Wi-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. That's why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for wireless fidelity, but the tagline came after the name. __5__ Don't add to the confusion and stop associating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (首字母缩略词).A.That's a mouthful.B.This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.C.The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.D.There is some debate surrounding the question what Wi-Fi stands for.E.In 1997, a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi-Fi standard.F.Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.G.Plus, the Alliance removed the tag, although the confusion it brought still lives on today.篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。在当今的数字世界,上网比之前更加容易,这主要感谢Wi-Fi。本文介绍了什么是Wi-Fi。1.B 根据第一段前两句可知,拨号上网的日子早已成为过去,如今和以往相比更容易连接网络,且设空处下文紧接着介绍了Wi-Fi的相关内容,由此可知,B项“这主要感谢Wi-Fi\”承上启下,符合语境。2.E 根据设空后一句可知,两年后,几个公司成立了无线以太网兼容性联盟,目的是推广新的Wi-Fi标准。与新的标准相对应则是一般的、普通的标准,E项中的“a common Wi-Fi standard”与设空后的“new Wi-Fi standard”对应,再结合常识和语境可知答案选E项。3.A 根据前一句可知,根据Wi-Fi联盟的说法,Wi-Fi是一个商标术语,用来描述基于IEEE无线通信标准802.11的设备或技术,下文表明Wi-Fi联盟聘请了营销公司Interbrand为它起了一个短一点的名字:Wi-Fi;由此可知,上文的那个名字又长又拗口。故A项符合语境。mouthful意为“又长又拗口的词(或短语)”。4.D 根据下文中的“The rumor that”和“Some members didn't understand”可推知,人们对于Wi-Fi是什么这个问题还有一些争议,故选D。5.G 根据设空后一句可知,作者建议不要混淆两者;设空前两句又表述该联盟的标签带来了混淆。由此可知,G项“而且,虽然该联盟去除了这个标签,但它带来的困惑到现在仍然存在”符合语境。Ⅲ.语法填空(2019·山东省济宁一中高三第一次调研考试)Traditional Chinese culture is beginning to capture the attention of the world. Kung fu, __1__ (especial), has had a great effect __2__ the millions of people who first learned about China through it. From that, they may come to China and learn about some other __3__ (aspect) of this culture. Other Asian nations have long known about the __4__ (great) of ancient Chinese culture. Their own cultures are __5__ mix of native ones and those Chinese characteristics. Korea and Japan long ago adopted Confucianism, something that continues today even as it __6__ (challenge) by pop culture. This strength comes from the ideas __7__ (give) in The Four Books of Confucianism, which built upon the ideas of an even __8__ (much) ancient period codified (编纂) in The Five Classics. From them, the West learns __9__ is uniquely Chinese, for example, feng shui. So far China has taken steps __10__ (further) this spread of its culture by establishing Chinese Cultural Centers in such places as the United States and Europe.1.________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________5.________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________9.________ 10.________篇章导读:本文是一篇说明文。以中国功夫为代表的中国文化正引起全世界的注意,世界各国对中国文化的兴趣越来越浓厚,我们也在采取措施进一步宣传中国文化。1.especially 考查词性转换。句中使用副词修饰整个句子,所以要填副词especially。2.on 考查固定短语。句意:中国功夫对通过它了解中国的成百万人有很大的影响。动词短语have an effect on ...意为“对……有影响”,所以填介词on。3.aspects 考查名词。句意:通过中国功夫,他们来到中国了解到中国文化的其他方面。名词aspect意为“方面”,是可数名词,且其前由some修饰,要用复数形式,所以填aspects。4.greatness 考查词性转换。句意:其他的亚洲国家早就了解到古代中国文化的伟大之处。have long known about后应接名词作宾语,所以填名词形式greatness。5.a 考查冠词。句意:他们自己的文化是一个本土文化和古代中国文化的混合体。句中不定冠词a修饰mix,表示泛指,所以填不定冠词a。6.is challenged 考查动词的语态。句意:韩国和日本很久之前就采用了孔子思想,孔子的学说一直持续至今,尽管受到了流行文化的挑战。本句主语it与动词challenge构成被动关系,要用被动语态,所以填is challenged。7.given 考查非谓语动词。句意:这种实力来自《四书》给出的观点。名词ideas与动词give之间构成被动关系,此处用过去分词短语作定语修饰ideas,所以填given。8.more 考查比较级。本句指《四书》中的观点来自于更早的古代典籍《五经》,通过句意可知把《四书》和《五经》进行比较,《五经》历史更为悠久,所以使用比较级形式more。设空前的even也是提示。9.what 考查宾语从句的连接词。句中what引导宾语从句,并在从句中作主语,意为“什么”,所以填what。10.to further 考查非谓语动词。句意:到目前为止,中国已经采取措施来推进中国文化的传播。不定式短语to further this spread of its culture在句中作目的状语,所以填to further。Ⅳ.书面表达假如你是李明,就读于深圳中学。你在China Daily上获悉你所在的城市就交通拥堵问题向读者征求好建议。请根据下面提供的要点,给该城市的相关负责人写一封英文建议信,表达自己的观点。要点如下:1.陈述事由并简要介绍自己。2.提出具体建议:①完善公共交通服务;②建立奖励措施,鼓励人们监督违反交通法的人;③利用灵活的上班时间来缓解交通拥堵。3.对提出的建议进行总结。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。Dear Sir or Madam,My name is Li Ming, a student from Shenzhen Middle School. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thank you for your attention.Yours sincerely,Li Ming[精彩范文]Dear_Sir_or_Madam,My_name_is_Li_Ming,_a_student_from_Shenzhen_Middle_School. I am writing to put forward my suggestions on how to deal with the heavy traffic in our city.First of all, I insist that public transportation services should be developed rapidly so that more people will use public transportation instead of private cars. Secondly, we could set up a system of awards to encourage people to monitor those who break traffic laws. In addition, in order to solve the traffic problem and effectively improve the traffic flow, we should take flexible working hours into consideration.I hope that my suggestions are of use and worthy of consideration.Thank_you_for_your_attention.Yours_sincerely,Li_Ming
