When the designer and typgrapher(排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upn a tiny museum just utside Barcelna five years ag,the experience tipped his interest in the histry f technlgy int an bsessin(癡迷) with a very particular part f it:the keybard.
“I have never seen s many typewriters under ne rf.Nt even clse,” he shared n the Internet at the time.“At this pint,I literally have tears in my eyes.I’m nt kidding.This feels like a miracle.”
He’d had a discvery while wandering thrugh the exhibit:Each key n a keybard has its wn stries.And these stries are nt just abut cmputing technlgy,but als abut the peple wh designed,used,r therwise interacted with the keybards.
Take the backspace key fr example,he explains,“I like that the cncept f backspace was riginally just that—a space ging backward.We are used t it erasing nw,but fr a hundred years,erasing was its wn incredibly cmplex effrt.Yu needed t master a Cmet eraser,r Wite-Out,r strange crrectin tapes,and pssibly all f the give up and start frm scratch whenever yu made a small mistake in typing.”
The deeper he researched,the mre bsessive he became.Amazed that n cmprehensive bks existed n the histry f keybards,he decided t create his wn.When nt wrking at his day jb as the design leader fr the design sftware cmpany Figma,he began prducing Shift Happens,a tw-vlume,1,216-page hardcver bk—and raised ver $750,000 fr the prject n Kickstarter in March f 2023.Wichary was nly a bit surprised by the supprt and the keybard’s wide appeal.As he pints ut,“It’s such a crucial device that ccupies a lt f ur waking life.”

Many studies have shwn that when peple read n-screen,they dn’t understand what they’ve read as well as when they read in print.Fr example,researchers in Spain and Israel tk a clse lk at 54 studies cmparing digital and print reading.Their 2018 study invlved mre than 171,000 readers.Cmprehensin,they fund,was better verall when peple read print rather than digital texts.
Maryanne Wlf,wh wrks at the University f Califrnia,Ls Angeles explained that reading is nt natural.We learn t talk by listening t thse arund us.It’s pretty autmatic.But learning t read takes real wrk because the brain has n special netwrk f cells just fr reading.
T understand text,the brain brrws netwrks that evlved(進(jìn)化) t d ther things.Fr example,the part that evlved t recgnize faces is called int actin t recgnize letters.This is similar t hw yu might adapt a tl fr sme new use.Fr example,a cat hanger is great fr putting yur clthes in the clset(衣柜).But if a blueberry rlls under the refrigeratr,yu might straighten ut the cat hanger and use it t reach under the refrigeratr and pull ut the fruit.As a result,the brain might slip int skim(瀏覽) mde when yu’re reading n a screen.It may switch t deep-reading mde when yu turn t print.
Yur reading desn’t just depend n the device,hwever.It als depends n what yu assume abut the text.Barn,wh is a scientist studying language and reading,calls this mindset.She says ne way mindset wrks is in anticipating hw easy r hard we expect the reading t be.If we think it will be easy,we might nt put in much effrt.Much f what we read n-screen tends t be text messages and scial media psts.They’re usually easy t understand.S,when peple read n-screen,they read faster.When reading fast,we may nt absrb all the ideas as well.
S if yu really need t learn smething,yu’re prbably better ff with print.
5.What is Maryanne Wlf’s pint f view?
A.Reading is unnatural fr the brain.
B.Digital texts are easier t understand.
C.Old tls shuld be adapted fr new use.
D.There are tw different mdes f reading.
6.Hw was Maryanne Wlf’s pint f view explained?
A.By referring t the results f previus studies.
B.By srting data cllected thrugh experiments.
C.By analyzing examples f peple’s reading experiences.
D.By cmparing reading t ding things with brrwed tls.
7.What will Barn prbably agree with?
A.An effective reader absrbs all the ideas.
B.Digital reading devices can be put int better use.
C.Reading strategies shuld be applied t imprve reading speed.
D.We have different mindsets in screen reading and print reading.
8.Which f the fllwing is a suitable title fr the text?
A.What’s behind hw yu read,device r psychlgy?
B.Are scial media psts fueling up a fast reading craze?
C.Will yu learn better frm reading n-screen r n paper?
D.Which emplys mre parts f yur brain,reading r listening?
Ⅱ.七選五
In this day and age,it is difficult t imagine ur lives withut emails.But hw ften d we cnsider the envirnmental impact f these messages? 1 It’s easy t ignre the invisible energy invlved in running the netwrk—particularly when it cmes t sending and string data.
Every single email is stred n a server(服務(wù)器). 2 These cmputers cnsume massive amunts f energy,24 hurs a day,and require cuntless water r air cnditining systems fr cling.The mre messages we send,receive and stre,the mre servers are needed. 3
Accrding t carbn ftprint specialists,every spam email(垃圾郵件) releases an estimated 0.3 grams f CO2 int the atmsphere.A standard email,ne withut an attachment has a carbn ftprint f 4 grams f CO2. 4 These carbn emissins cme frm the energy used t perate the cmputers and access the Internet.
Recent calculatins indicate if every email user sent ne less unnecessary email each day,it wuld reduce CO2 emissins by 16,433 tnnes each year.That is the same as 81,152 flights between Lndn and Madrid!
5 Avid sending unnecessary mails,reduce the amunt f spam yu receive and regularly clean ut yur inbx.
A.The real impact may actually be even higher.
B.The server is designed t stre huge amunts f data.
C.That means mre energy cnsumed,and mre carbn emissins.
D.An email with a lt text and attachment can be respnsible fr up t 50 grams.
E.It’s definitely wrthwhile taking a few minutes t d an ec-friendly digital clean-up.
F.We assume that using emails requires nly the electricity used t pwer ur cmputers.
G.Quantities f emails require huge server farms—millins f cmputers string infrmatin.

Unit 3 On the mve
Ⅰ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了去一家小博物館的經(jīng)歷讓設(shè)計師兼排版師Marcin Wichary對鍵盤產(chǎn)生了興趣,之后他開始制作一本關(guān)于鍵盤歷史的全面書籍。
1.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段可知,參觀博物館后,Wichary對技術(shù)史的興趣變成了對技術(shù)史中一個非常特殊的部分(鍵盤)的癡迷,可知他對技術(shù)的興趣變得更加強(qiáng)烈。
2.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段中“He’d had a discvery while wandering thrugh the exhibit:Each key n a keybard has its wn stries.”可知,Wichary在欣賞鍵盤時發(fā)現(xiàn)了鍵盤背后的故事。故選A項(xiàng)。
3.C 推理判斷題。由第四段中“We are used t it erasing nw,but fr a hundred years,erasing was its wn incredibly cmplex effrt.Yu needed t master a Cmet eraser,r Wite-Out,r strange crrectin tapes,and pssibly all f the give up and start frm scratch whenever yu made a small mistake in typing.”可知,一百年前擦除本身就是一項(xiàng)極其復(fù)雜的工作,而現(xiàn)在人們習(xí)慣了退格鍵的擦除(暗指擦除變得簡單了),Wichary想通過這種變化告訴我們退格鍵是長期改進(jìn)的結(jié)果。故選C項(xiàng)。
4.A 推理判斷題。由最后一段中“Amazed that n cmprehensive bks existed n the histry f keybards,he decided t create his wn.”可知,Wichary自己寫書是為了填補(bǔ)沒有一本關(guān)于鍵盤歷史的全面書籍的空白。故選A項(xiàng)。
【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了屏幕閱讀的效果不如紙質(zhì)閱讀。
5.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中“Maryanne Wlf,wh wrks at the University f Califrnia,Ls Angeles explained that reading is nt natural.”可知,瑪麗安·沃爾夫的觀點(diǎn)是閱讀對大腦來說是不自然的。
6.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“T understand text,the brain brrws netwrks that evlved t d ther things.Fr example,the part that evlved t recgnize faces is called int actin t recgnize letters.This is similar t hw yu might adapt a tl fr sme new use.”可知,在解釋Maryanne Wlf的觀點(diǎn)時,作者將讀和說進(jìn)行了比較,并且把閱讀比作用一種工具做另外一件事。
7.D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第四段中“Barn,wh is a scientist studying language and reading,,when peple read n-screen,they read faster.”可知,Barn認(rèn)為我們對預(yù)期的、不同難易程度的閱讀持有不同的“思維傾向”。屏幕上讀到的大部分內(nèi)容往往是短信和社交媒體帖子,它們通常很容易理解,所以我們的“思維傾向”是它很容易,我們可能不會付出太多努力。這與紙質(zhì)閱讀材料上的內(nèi)容不同,對于紙質(zhì)閱讀材料我們會有不同的“思維傾向”。由此推知,Barn可能會贊同“我們在屏幕閱讀和印刷閱讀上有不同的思維傾向”這一說法。故選D項(xiàng)。
8.C 主旨大意題。通讀全文,結(jié)合文章第一段中“Cmprehensin,they fund,was better verall when peple read print rather than digital texts.”和最后一段“S if yu really need t learn smething,yu’re prbably better ff with print.”可知,本文說明了閱讀紙質(zhì)印刷文本比閱讀電子文本更好,正好回答了C項(xiàng)“在屏幕上閱讀和在紙上閱讀哪個學(xué)得更好?”這一問題,所以C項(xiàng)是文章最佳標(biāo)題。
Ⅱ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇說明文,主要講的是電子郵件對環(huán)境的不好的影響。
1.F 空前“But hw ften d we cnsider the envirnmental impact f these messages?”說明我們可能很少考慮電子郵件信息對環(huán)境的影響;空后“It’s easy t ignre the invisible energy invlved in running the netwrk—particularly when it cmes t sending and string data.”說明電子郵件是會消耗能量的,空格處應(yīng)該說我們只會想到電子郵件所消耗的常見的能源。F項(xiàng)說明我們常見的想法,就是電子郵件只需要電,因此承上啟下,符合語境,故選F項(xiàng)。
2.G 空前“Every single email is stred n a server.”說明大量的郵件就需要大量的服務(wù)器。G項(xiàng)說明了大量的電子郵件需要龐大的服務(wù)器群,空后說的“These cmputers cnsume massive amunts f energy”中的These cmputers和G項(xiàng)中的“millins f cmputers”一致,因此承上啟下,符合語境。
3.C 空前說“These cmputers cnsume massive amunts f energy,24 hurs a day,and require cuntless water r air cnditining systems fr cling.The mre messages we send,receive and stre,the mre servers are needed.”,空格處應(yīng)該接著說那更多的服務(wù)器對環(huán)境的影響以及會消耗更多的能源。C項(xiàng)說明了更多的服務(wù)器會消耗更多的能源,造成更多的碳排放,影響環(huán)境,因此承接上文,符合語境,故選C項(xiàng)。
4.D 空前說“Accrding t carbn ftprint specialists,every spam email releases an estimated 0.3 grams f CO2 int the atmsphere.A standard email,ne withut an attachment has a carbn ftprint f 4 grams f CO2.”,空后說“These carbn emissins cme frm the energy used t perate the cmputers and access the Internet.”,說明空格處也應(yīng)該提到某種會導(dǎo)致碳排放的郵件。D項(xiàng)說明了包含大量文本和附件的電子郵件排放的二氧化碳的量,因此承接上文,符合語境,故選D項(xiàng)。
5.E 空后說“Avid sending unnecessary mails,reduce the amunt f spam yu receive and regularly clean ut yur inbx.”,這些都是減少郵件對環(huán)境的不好影響的方法,空格處也應(yīng)該是一種方法。E項(xiàng)說明了一種減少郵件的不利影響的方法,因此引起下文,符合語境,故選E項(xiàng)。
Ⅲ.【語篇解讀】本文是一篇記敘文。文章介紹了匈牙利女孩學(xué)習(xí)漢語的經(jīng)歷,同時說明了匈牙利的漢語熱潮流。
1.welcming 考查非謂語動詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,該句已有謂語stands,空格處的動詞在句中作非謂語,與主語statue(雕塑)之間是邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,因此需使用現(xiàn)在分詞在句中作狀語。故填welcming。
2.As 考查介詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處是固定短語as time went by,意為“隨著時間的流逝”,位于句首時首字母大寫。故填A(yù)s。
3.whse 考查定語從句。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,該句為非限制性定語從句,先行詞“A 19-year-ld Hungary girl”指人,且從句中缺少定語,故填whse。
4.fell 考查動詞的時態(tài)。根據(jù)句中時間狀語“at the age f seven”可知,該句陳述過去事實(shí),因此需使用一般過去時。故填fell。
5.a 考查冠詞。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知,此處指“一種語言”,表示泛指,special為輔音音素開頭的單詞,因此可使用不定冠詞a進(jìn)行修飾。故填a。
6.t 考查介詞。access t,意為“接近;接觸”。故填t。
7.ppularity 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。定冠詞the后接名詞。故填ppularity。
8.cmmnly 考查副詞。在句中作狀語修飾seen用副詞,故填cmmnly。
9.be sptted 考查動詞的被動語態(tài)。be likely t d sth,意為“很可能做某事”,Chinese characters與spt(發(fā)現(xiàn))之間是邏輯上的動賓關(guān)系,因此需使用被動語態(tài)。故填be sptted。
10.endless 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。后文提到“pssibilities which have nt been explred”說明還有很多可能性,即“無限的”,作定語修飾名詞pssibilities(可能性)。故填endless。
Ⅳ. Recently a survey abut the time that the students spent n smartphnes was cnducted amng students.
As can be seen frm the chart,students spent an hur and a half n phnes n average in 2020,while the time dubled in 2021.What is the mst striking is that students spent 6 hurs n smartphnes in 2022.The number f hurs students spent using smartphnes during spare time has shwn a sharp rising trend year by year.
Students are seriusly addicted t smartphnes,and this has a negative effect n their grades and family relatinships.S I suggest that students turn ff their phnes,cmmunicate with friends face t face,and engage in mre utdr activities.
