課時(shí)分層作業(yè)(七)Ⅰ.單詞拼寫1.Adam pressed a button(按鈕) and waited for the lift.2.You can use milk in place of cream in this recipe(食譜).3.I was amazed at the extent (程度,范圍)of his knowledge.4.She won the election by a clear majority(多數(shù)票).5.Money can be exchanged for goods (商品)or services.6.The president will deliver (發(fā)表)a speech about schools.7.The school has established(確定,建立) a successful relationship with the local community.8.She made helpful comments (評(píng)論)on my work.9.As far as I'm aware(知道),nobody has done anything about it.10.Will the software (軟件)run on my machine?Ⅱ.閱讀理解ADo you like shopping?Or does the thought of wandering round the shops fill you with terror?For some of us,shopping is an enjoyable way of spending our spare time and our money.For me,it's something I would rather avoid.Thank goodness for the Internet! It's more convenient to buy CDs,electrical items,and even food from the comfort of your sofa.But that's not the only reason:price is an important factor.We can buy goods and services cheaper online.But sometimes the problem is knowing what to buy.This has led to a type of shopping called “showrooming”.ShowroomingShowrooming is something I've done.I will go to a shop to see,touch and try out products but then go home and buy them online at a knock-down price.I'm not alone in doing this.Research by a company called Foolproof,found 24% of people showroomed while Christmas shopping in 2013.Amy Cashman,Head of Technology at TNS UK,says the reasons for this new shopping habit are that “people are lacking time,lacking money and they want security about the products they are buying”.She explains that consumers are not only shopping online at home but they are using the Internet in store or on their smartphones to shop around.But does this mean technology will kill shops?Certainly shops will change.They will have to offer more competitive prices or encourage people to buy more by giving in-store discounts or free gifts.We mustn't forget that buying in a shop means you can get expert advice from the sales assistant and you can get good aftercare.It's good to speak to a real human rather than look at a faceless computer screen,but at least by showrooming,you get the best of both worlds!【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 本文介紹了一種新的購(gòu)物方式——Showrooming。作者就這一現(xiàn)象以及網(wǎng)上購(gòu)物對(duì)商場(chǎng)的沖擊進(jìn)行了分析,指出商場(chǎng)必須做出改變來(lái)迎接這一挑戰(zhàn)。1.The two

is no such service in Green Bank,West Virginia,a tiny town four hours from the US capital,Washington,D.C.Fewer than 150 people live in Green Bank,which has two churches,an elementary school and a public library.It is also home to the largest radio telescope in the world.There is a ban(禁令) on Wi-Fi in Green Bank,along with anything else that can create electromagnetic(電磁的) waves.Officials say the waves could disturb the signals the telescope receives.For many Americans,a visit to Green Bank is a little like returning to the 1950s.To get there,you must read road signs because there is no GPS service in the town.People can connect with the Internet through telephones,but wireless service is not allowed.The observatory(天文臺(tái)) is one of the largest employers in the area.The National Science Foundation(NSF) spends about $8.2 million a year to operate the observatory,telescope and educational centre.Jonah Bauserman is a technician.If he supposes there is a signal that is not allowed in the zone,he drives to the house where the signal is coming from and checks it.But once a week,when the device is cleaned,some banned devices are allowed near it.People in the town respect the work of the scientists.And they say they are happy to live without Wi-Fi and mobile phones.“You know,instead of sitting here with our phones and other devices,we're out fishing,hunting and going to each other's houses.” Everyone knows each other and communication is almost always face to face.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了一個(gè)沒有手機(jī)和Wi-Fi的美國(guó)小鎮(zhèn)。4.What will you see when you pay a

times a week.Exercise helps decrease your chances of developing heart disease.It also helps keep your bones healthy and strong.We do not know exactly if or how exercise increases your immunity(免疫) to certain illnesses.There are several theories.2Some of these theories are as follows:Physical activity may help move bacteria(細(xì)菌) out of the lungs and airways.3The brief rise in body temperature during and right after exercise may prevent bacteria from growing.This temperature rise may help the body fight against infection(傳染) better.4Some stress increases the chance of illness.Lower stress hormones(荷爾蒙)may protect against illnesses.Exercise is good for you.5Studies have shown that people who follow a moderately(適度地) energetic lifestyle,benefit most from starting and sticking to an exercise program.So go ahead,take an aerobics class or go for a walk.You will feel better and healthier for it.A.Feeling tired all the time?B.Have you taken a walk today?C.However,you should not overdo it.D.However,none of them have been proven.E.Exercise slows down the release of stress hormones.F.People should not exercise more just to increase immunity.G.This may reduce your chance of
