課時(shí)分層作業(yè)(三)Ⅰ.閱讀理解ATwenty-five years ago,most young Britons wanted a career in law,to be a doctor,or,if they were creatively minded,to take up singing.But today,things stand differently.According to a survey by Tesco Mobile,a UK telecoms company,the “dream job”of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger,or “vlogger”.The survey,carried out among 1,002 people,found that as much as 40 percent of them put vlogger as their number one choice on a list of ideal jobs.The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media.They have made it so much easier to reach a global user,without having to get a job in show business in the traditional way.“In years gone by,the biggest stars were shaped and trained by the Hollywood studios; now,anyone with a computer camera can become an icon (偶像),”a Tesco Mobile spokesperson said in a news release(發(fā)布會(huì)).“These self-made stars record their hobbies to an admiring fan-base.Vloggers are the big stars of today because they are normal people interacting with their fans about everyday life.”However,what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune.There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.This is why although vloggers are popular,some young people choose jobs that don't necessarily earn them fame,but allow them to make good use of the Internet to share their hobbies.Young Israeli David Leshaw,for example,runs a business called the Finishers Club.It's an online platform(平臺(tái))for runners to keep a record of their races.He told the website Zippia that his job allows him to express his thought,and is always a learning experience.And that's enough for him.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 文章講述了由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和社交媒體的發(fā)展,每個(gè)人都有可能成為偶像。現(xiàn)在視頻博主是年輕人理想的職業(yè)。但是作者指出,不是每一個(gè)人都能成功。1.What's the most popular job among British young people nowadays?A.A lawyer.B.A doctor.C.A vlogger.D.A singer.C[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“the ‘dream job’ of young people aged between 16 and 25 in the UK is a video blogger,or ‘vlogger’.”可知,現(xiàn)在英國(guó)年輕人最喜歡的工作是當(dāng)一個(gè)視頻博主。故選C。]2.Why is it possible for anyone to become an icon these days?A.Because of the popularity of the computers.B.Because the traditional show business has disappeared.C.Because there are computer cameras for everyone to use.D.Because Internet and social media made it easy to reach a global user.D[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 根據(jù)第三段中“The only reason for this change is undoubtedly the Internet and social media.They have made it so much easier to reach a global user”和第四段中“anyone with a computer camera can become an icon ”可知,因?yàn)榛ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)和社交媒體的發(fā)展使接觸全球用戶變得更加容易?,F(xiàn)在只要有電腦攝像頭,每個(gè)人都可能成為偶像。故選D。]3.What's the meaning of the underlined word “interact” in Paragraph 4?A.To discuss.B.To force.C.To communicate.D.To take part in.C[詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞前一句“These self-made stars record their hobbies to an admiring fan-base.”可知,這些明星記錄下自己的愛好和日常生活,分享到仰慕他們的粉絲群,和粉絲們進(jìn)行交流。由此可以猜測(cè),“interact”意思為“交流,互動(dòng)”。故選C。]4.What's the author's opinion towards the vloggers?A.All vloggers can't be successful.B.Vloggers should be supported.C.Vloggers should be encouraged.D.Vloggers are very helpful to society.A[推理判斷題。根據(jù)第五段中“what people see is only the great side of being a vlogger and they ignore the fact that only those who are successful get fame and fortune.There are the dreams that come true and the dreams that still remain dreams.”可以推斷,作者認(rèn)為不是所有的視頻博主都能成功。故選A。]BAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information,why store it in your own personal memory,your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment,they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夾).Surprisingly,people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called “transactive memory (交互記憶)”.According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transactive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.【語(yǔ)篇解讀】 文章主要講的是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)給人類的記憶帶來的影響?;ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)使用者越來越依賴互聯(lián)網(wǎng)來儲(chǔ)存信息,人們這樣做是否會(huì)喪失記憶事物的能力呢?專家懷疑互聯(lián)網(wǎng)可能正在改變?nèi)藗兊挠洃泝?nèi)容和方式。5.The passage begins with two questions to ________.A.introduce the main topicB.show the author's attitudeC.describe how to use the InternetD.explain how to store informationA[寫作意圖題。根據(jù)第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”可知,作者使用兩個(gè)問句是為了引出要討論的話題。]6.What can we learn about the first experiment?A.Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.C.The first group did not try to remember the formation.D.The second group did not understand the information.C[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.”可知答案。]7.In transactive memory,people ________.A.keep the information in mindB.change the quantity of informationC.organize information like a computerD.remember how to find the informationD[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段“Rather,they remember how to find it.This is called ‘transactive memory (交互記憶)’.”可知,在交互記憶里,人們記得怎樣找到信息。]8.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?A.We are using memory differently.B.We are becoming more intelligent.C.We have poorer memories than before.D.We need a better way to access information.A[細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)對(duì)人們的記憶產(chǎn)生的影響是它改變了我們使用記憶力的方式。]Ⅱ.讀后續(xù)寫閱讀下面材料,根據(jù)其內(nèi)容和所給段落開頭語(yǔ)續(xù)寫兩段,使之構(gòu)成一篇完整的短文。Suzy sat on her bed and gave a deep sigh.It was time to pack for
