Unit 4 Information Technology Topic Talk能力提升B卷
一、阅读理解
A
In the past few decades, the way we shop has changed dramatically. We used to buy our goods in traditional shops. Now, customers are increasingly buying online, where they can order whatever they want directly to their door with the click of a mouse. As companies race to improve their Internet shopping experience, the trend towards shopping online is predicted to continue.
Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.
Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would generate 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.
The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise worth nearly $ 326 million is returned each year in the USA.Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill, leading to 13 tons of CO2 being released.
When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think. There is some positive news, as various online retailers are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles. However, the question of how to deal with returns efficiently and without waste is a challenge that many companies have not wanted to face, but they have to shoulder responsibilities.
1.What is a common belief about online shopping according to the text?
A.It brings unpleasant changes. B.It increases companies' pressure.
C.It is more environment-friendly. D.It costs less than in-store shopping.
2. The data in Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 mainly shows that________.
A.waste from online shopping should be recycled
B.customers should think twice before shopping
C.some online items are actually of poor quality
D.online shopping may cause much carbon footprint
3. How do online retailers try to reduce carbon footprint?
A.By cutting the distance of delivery. B.By using a greener way of delivery.
C.By choosing to sell electric vehicles. D.By recycling their customers' returns.
4. What is the best title for the text?
A.Bad Environmental Impact of Online Shopping
B.Shopping Delivery Is Harming the Environment
C.The Advantages and Disadvantages of Shopping
D.Online Companies Cause Much Carbon Footprint
1-4 CDBA
这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了现在,越来越多的顾客在网上购物,人们普遍认为网上购物更环保,然而并非如此。文章通过具体的数据来说明了网上购物可能会造成很多碳足迹,指出如何有效地处理退货,没有浪费,是很多公司不愿意面对的挑战,但他们必须承担责任。
1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Most people commonly think that online shopping is better than in-store shopping. After all, an online store does not use the electricity that a traditional store might use and it doesn't require the customer to drive anywhere. So you would think the carbon savings must be significant.(大多数人普遍认为网上购物比实体店购物好。毕竟,网上商店不用像传统商店那样用电,也不需要顾客开车去任何地方。所以你会认为碳节约一定是非常重要的)”可知,人们普遍认为网上购物更环保。故选C。
2. 推理判断题。根据第三段“Take the typical home delivery round in the UK, for example. Supermarket drivers often do 120 deliveries on an 80-kilometre round, producing 20 kilograms of CO2 in total. In contrast, a 21-kilometre drive to the store and back for one household would generate 24 times more CO2! However, the reality is slightly more complex than that. Many home deliveries fail the first time and the driver has to make a second or third attempt to deliver the purchase.(以英国典型的送货上门为例。 超市司机通常每80公里送货120次,总共产生20公斤二氧化碳。相比之下,一个家庭驱车21公里到商店来回会产生24倍多的二氧化碳! 然而,实际情况要比这稍微复杂一些。许多送货上门第一次就失败了,司机不得不再尝试一次或第三次送货)”以及第四段“The carbon footprint also goes up if the customer chooses to return the item. A study in Germany shows that as many as one in three online purchases are returned. According to another study, merchandise worth nearly $ 326 million is returned each year in the USA. Two billion kilograms of this ends up in landfill, leading to 13 tons of CO2 being released. (如果顾客选择退货,碳足迹也会增加。德国的一项研究显示,多达三分之一的网上购物被退回。 另一项研究显示,美国每年被退回的商品价值近3.26亿美元。其中有20亿公斤最终被填埋,导致13吨二氧化碳被释放)”可推知,第3段和第4段的数据主要表明了网上购物可能会造成很多碳足迹。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“There is some positive news, as various online retailers are starting to lower their carbon footprint by turning to electric delivery vehicles.(有一些积极的消息,因为各种在线零售商开始转向电动运输车辆来降低他们的碳足迹)”可知,网上零售商可以使用更环保的运输方式来减少碳足迹。故选B。
4. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“When we take all these factors into consideration, we realize that online shopping isn't necessarily as green as people might think.(当我们把所有这些因素都考虑进去的时候,我们意识到网上购物并不像人们想象的那么环保)”结合文章主要说明了现在,越来越多的顾客在网上购物,人们普遍认为网上购物更环保,然而并非如此。文章通过具体的数据来说明了网上购物可能会造成很多碳足迹,指出如何有效地处理退货,没有浪费,是很多公司不愿意面对的挑战,但他们必须承担责任。可知,A选项“网上购物对环境的不良影响”最符合文章标题。故选A。
B
Online shopping has become more and more popular these years. Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.
For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.
“It shows how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.
Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift buying population this time around.
However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security (信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with offline prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.
“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion (促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.
“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.
5.What can we know from the passage?
A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2019.
B.More women shopped online than men in 2019.
C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were women.
D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
6.What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?
A.Turned. B.Put off.
C.Hurried. D.Take off.
7.According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ________.
A.unsafe B.convenient
C.a waste of money D.cheaper
8.Where does the passage probably come from?
A.an introduction textbook B.a news coverage
C.an essay collection D.brochure

本文是一篇说明文。美国上周公布的一项研究显示,在利用互联网进行假日购物方面,女性首次超过了男性。现在网上购物的主流变成了女性为主,文章分析了原因,因为女性是家里购物的做决定的人。同时也告诉我们网络购物人群有年轻化的趋势。
5.细节理解题。根据第二段For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.可知,多年来,男性比女性更喜欢在网上购物,但在2019年的假日季,网上购物的59%是女性。由此可知,2019年美国在网上购物的女性超过了男性。故选B。
6.词义猜测题。根据上文However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with offline prices可知,2019年美国四分之三的互联网用户不在网上购买节日礼物,他们担忧信用卡的安全,或者只是比较网上的价格与线下的价格。由此可知:经过比较之后,这些用户匆忙(hurried)去商店购买便宜货。故可知划线短语意思为“匆忙”。故选C。
7.推理判断题。根据最后一段中It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.可知,这一切都是为了让购物体验更高效、更可靠、更舒适。由此可推知,Hess认为网上购物是方便的。故选B。
8.推理判断题。根据第一段中Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US.可知,美国上周公布的一项研究显示,在利用互联网进行假日购物方面,女性首次超过了男性。现在网上购物的主流变成了女性为主,文章分析了原因,因为女性是家里购物的做决定的人。同时也告诉我们网络购物人群有年轻化的趋势。由此可推知,文章最有可能来自新闻报道。故选B。

3.考查形容词。句意:我跪下来捡起这些碎片,惊讶地发现其中有一小张纸。空格处用形容词作定语,修饰名词pieces,由上文的“broke an old glass ball”可知,我跪下来捡起这些碎片,空格处意为“破碎的”,即broken,故填broken。
4.考查名词的复数。句意:举目望去,我看到了母亲慈祥的表情。eye是可数名词,有两只眼睛,因此空格处用复数,故填eyes。
5.考查冠词。句意:“我们第一次一起过圣诞节的时候,你爸爸写了这句话,把它粘在了那个蓝色的球上,”她笑着说。smile是可数名词,此处表泛指,前面加不定冠词,smile是辅音音素开头,因此不定冠词用a,故填a。
6.考查过去分词。句意:我认识的那个爸爸总是把圣诞树装饰成他不想参与的东西。get sth. done 为习惯搭配,意为“使某事被做”,因此空格处用过去分词作宾语补足语,故填decorated。
7.考查时态。句意:然而,这张泛黄的纸证明了很久以前我爸爸在圣诞节做过一些浪漫的事情。由语境可知,应用一般过去时表示之前父亲做过的事,因此空格处是过去式did,故填did。
8.考查现在分词。句意:我小心地把纸条放在一边,把球的碎片清理干净,希望我能把它们粘在一起。分析句子成分可知,wish与其逻辑主语I之间为主动关系,应用现在分词形式作状语,表示伴随,故填wishing。
9.考查代词。句意:我小心地把纸条放在一边,把球的碎片清理干净,希望我能把它们粘在一起。根据上文语境可知,“我”希望能将那些碎片重新粘好,因此空格处是“它们”,空格处用“它们”的宾格,即them,故填them。
10.考查副词。句意:现在,当我小心翼翼地处理这些旧球时,我很高兴知道其中一个藏有爸爸和妈妈之间的秘密。分析句子成分可知,此空应用副词carefully修饰从句的谓语动词handle,故填carefully。
