1 Unit 2 Robots 李仕才 ***阅读理解。 Despite being used by 1.34 billion people each year，traveling on the Tube in London can actually be quite lonely. One citizen，however，is trying to change this.“You get on the Tube and it’ s completely silent and it’s weird，” says Jonathan Dunne，who has started a worldwide dialogue after giving out badges(徽章) with the words “Tube chat？” last month，encouraging passengers in London to get talking to one another.“I handed out 500 badges during rush hour in a city of 8 million，expecting most of them to be thrown away，but after about 24 hours it completely snowballed，”he says.Dunne and his “Tube chat” campaign have since been reported by media across the world，seeing TV interviews in Sweden, Brazil and the U．K.，as well as countless website，newspaper and magazine appearances. Although Dunne says he’s received mostly positive feedback，not everyone agrees with his idea.Londoner Brian Wilson responded with a campaign of his own，handing out 500 badges with the words “Don’t even think about it” on them. Michael Robinson， 24，a student from London，agrees.“Being on the Tube is the only peace and quiet some people get on their journeys to and from work.It doesn’t need to be spoiled by people coming up and chatting to you，” he says. “People assume that I just walk up and talk to strangers, which I don’t，but it’s been a great way to meet people you would never have normally spoken to，” Dunne says. So if you ever end up using public transport in the West, why not say hello to the person next to you？Just make sure to check for a badge first. 【解题导语】　每年乘坐伦敦地铁的乘客众多，可是人们仍然感到孤独；为此 Jonathan Dunne 发起了一个旨在鼓励乘客相互交谈的运动，此举引起了世界媒体的关注。尽管如此， 人们对此仍有不同的态度。 1．How did Dunne encourage London passengers to talk with each other?

Around 630 citizens at the Iiyama Snow Festival __1__ (make) 1,585 snowmen in one hour. The __2__ (early) record was 1,279 snowmen, __3__ was set in 2011. The event coincided with the opening of __4__ new bullet train station. Justin Patterson, the judge from the Guinness World Records organization, said the event was a wonderful occasion. He said __5__ the town was being buried in snow, the residents dealt with the challenge together in a positive light. There were strict rules for the record __6__ (break). One was that each snowman had to be over 80 cm tall. They __7__ be made of three separate snowballs, with eyes, a nose and arms. People used only their hands to make __8__ . Committee member Jiro Kobayashi told the Asahi Shimbun newspaper that the event suited the opening of the bullet train station. He said that thanks to the __9__ (cooperate) of many people, the record was broken. He said the event added __10__ the celebrations of the opening of the bullet train station. However, many people said that it was a tough thing to do because the snow didn't stick together. 1．________ 　2.________ 　3.________ 　4.________ 　 5.________ 　6.________ 　7.________ 　8.________ 　 9.________ 　10.________ 篇章导读：本文为一篇说明文。在日本的一个小镇，人们在一个小时内堆了 1585 个雪 人，打破了先前创造的一个小时内堆 1279 个雪人的纪录。 1．made 考查动词的时态。堆雪人是过去发生的事，所以用一般过去时。 2．earlier 考查形容词的比较级。此处指一个小时内堆 1,279 个雪人是早前的纪录， 和 1,585 的记录进行比较，故空格处用比较级。 3．which 考查定语从句的引导词。先行词为 record，指物，故用 which 引导非限制性 定语从句。 4．a 考查冠词。此处表泛指，故用不定冠词 a。 5．although/though 考查连词。根据语境可知，空格处应用连词 although/though 引 导让步状语从句，指“虽然小镇被雪覆盖，但居民们还是情绪高涨，共同迎接挑战”。 6．to be broken 考查非谓语动词。根据语境可知，此处说的是“将被打破的纪录”，故 用不定式表示将来发生的动作，又因逻辑主语 record 是不定式动作的承受者，所以用不定 4 式的被动式。 7．must/should 考查情态动词。此处指“雪人必须/应该由三个独立的雪球组成”，故 用 must/should。 8．them 考查代词。此处指代人们堆的雪人，且作 make 的宾语，故用 them。 9．cooperation 考查词性转换。此处指“幸好有许多人的合作”，且空处位于定冠词之 后，故用名词形式 cooperation。 10．to 考查介词。add to 为固定用法，意为“增加；增添”。 ***完形填空。 Hello, Mr. Wi­Fi. Life without you is next to impossible now. We're happy to sing your name from morning till evening, sometimes till dawn. __1__ I know you help me, sometimes you're making me do things with __2__ attention.

To show their hospitality in interpersonal communication, some customers ordered far more than what is enough, cause much food to be untouched and thrown away. What is even more unbearable lie in the fact what banquets at public expenses cost the reputation of our government as well as a huge amount of money. The money could have actually been spent helping those which are in need. Consequently, such waste really makes people be disappointed and depressed. To our delighted, as a nationwide campaign against waste at the dining table has launched, “Clear the Plates” is gaining more acceptance and support. Therefore, the nation's “Clear the Plates” is most likely to become the mainstream idea of hospitality through everyone efforts. 答案： Nowadays, food waste is becoming seriously ①serious in China. To show their hospitality in interpersonal communication, some customers ordered ②order far more than what is enough, cause ③causing much food to be untouched and thrown away. 8 What is even more unbearable lie ④lies in the fact what ⑤that banquets at public expenses cost the reputation of our government as well as a huge amount of money. The money could have actually been spent helping those which ⑥who are in need. Consequently, such waste really makes people ⑦ disappointed and depressed. To our delighted ⑧delight ， as a nationwide campaign against waste at the dining table has ∧ ⑨been launched, “Clear the Plates” is gaining more acceptance and support. Therefore, the nation's “Clear the Plates” is most likely to become the mainstream idea of hospitality through everyone ⑩everyone's efforts. 难项分析： 第三处：cause→causing 考查非谓语动词。此处用现在分词短语作结果状语。 第七处：去掉 disappointed 前的 be 考查 make 的复合结构。“make＋宾语＋宾补”中， 宾补可以是动词原形、形容词、副词、过去分词等。disappointed 和 depressed 是过去分 词转化来的形容词，所以 be 是多余的。 第九处：在 has 后加 been 考查动词的语态。launch a campaign “发起运动”，campaign 与 launch 之间是被动关系，所以要用现在完成时的被动语态。 ***
