A

German company DHL recently announced it is starting a new drone(无人驾驶飞机) delivery service to get “urgently needed goods,”such as life-saving medicines,to certain remote locations.

The company’s plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist,an island in Germany’s North Sea,where more

traditional delivery options(such as ferries or trains) aren’t always available.The drone service is a continuation of DHL’s “parcelcopter research project,”which was launched in December 2013.

But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden(初次的) flight,DHL officials said in a statement.For one thing,they’ve been improved to

undergo the high winds and rain that they may face over the North Sea.For another,the parcelcopter 2.0 can reach altitudes of 164 feet and can fly as fast as 40 miles per hour.The drone is also capable of flying for extended periods of time—about 45 minutes before needing to be recharged—enabling it to make the roughly 7.5-mile journey to Juist.

The drone can carry loads of up to 2.6 pounds(1.2 kilograms).The drone itself

weighs 11 pounds(5kg).Thanks to a new autopilot feature,the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will be completely automated,even during takeoff and

landing.However,drone pilots will be standing by at a mobile ground station in

Norddeich,on the coast of mainland Germany,just in case something goes wrong.Once the drones land at Juist,the parcels will be delivered to their recipients(收件人) by a human courier(急件递送者).

For now,the company will be using the drones,only when other delivery options aren’t available,and no plans are currently in the works to incorporate the parcelcopters into normal day-to-day deliveries,according to company officials. 1.To meet what requirement will DHL probably use the drones? A.A ton of life necessities need to be sent to a village. B.An important parcel needs to be sent to a man in Juist. C.Some medicines are urgently needed in the city hospital.

D.A family needs to go to Juist when ferries aren’t available. 2.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A.The DHL drones’ first flight. B.The purpose of the DHL drones.

C.The disadvantages of the DHL drones.

D.The improvements on the initial DHL drones. 3.The new drone . A.will be much lighter

B.can deliver much heavier parcels

C.can send parcels directly to recipients

D.will be fully automatic during the whole flight 4.What can we infer from the text?

A.The drones have been in use since December 2013. B.The drones won’t be widely used in the near future. C.The drones will replace human couriers in the future.

D.The drones will replace traditional delivery options soon.

Want to help fight global warming?Take off your tie,says the Italian health ministry.

It has urged employers to let their staff dress casually at work in the summer so that the air conditioning can be turned down.

“Taking your tie off immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 or 3 degrees centigrade,”the ministry said in a statement.“Allowing a more sensible use of air conditioning brings about electricity savings and protects the environment.”

It called on all public and private offices to let employees wear no ties during heat waves like the one that has brought Africa-like temperatures to many parts of Italy this week.

The move echoes(回应) a similar action from Italy’s biggest oil group,ENI,which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.

The tie makers,however,were left hot under the collar.

“Italy confirms that it is a strange country,”Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter to financial daily Il Sole 24 Ore under the headline:“I,tie maker,am responsible for global warming.”

“We can now happily continue with our lifestyle,using cars,consuming

fuel,heating and cooling our homes at leisure.On one condition:we should not wear a tie while we do so,”he wrote.

“I should have listened to my friends and become an oil producer instead.”

Italy is one of the European Union’s worst performers on the pollution front and is among the EU countries expected to exceed(超出) their greenhouse gas emission(排放) targets.

5.What’s the purpose of the move of taking off ties? A.To dress casually.

B.To fight global warming.

C.To keep the body temperature. D.To improve working conditions.

6.Who first encouraged employees to take off ties? A.ENI.

B.Flavio Cima.

C.A financial daily.

D.The Italian health ministry.

7.What does the underlined part “hot under the collar” in Paragraph 6 probably mean? A.Angry. B.Speechless. C.Delighted. D.Puzzled.

8.Which of the following is TRUE about Flavio Cima? A.He stands by the oil group. B.He agrees with the ministry. C.He admits his responsibility.

D.He argues against taking off ties. Ⅱ.七选五阅读

A laugh track,sometimes called canned laughter,is a collection of pre-recorded audience laughter and applause sounds added to television programs during post-production.The main purpose of the track is to trigger(激发) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a taped

sitcom(situation comedy). 1 Therefore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.

2 The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after the

show’s taping.Until that time,other radio and television comedies used a live studio audience or no canned laughter at all.In 1953,a sound engineer named Charley Douglass invented the Laff Box,a small electronic device(装置) containing numerous sounds of recorded laughter and applause.It is said that Charley Douglass selected almost all of his laugh track material from in-studio recordings of several different comedy shows. 3

During the 1970s,many sitcoms chose to get rid of the practice altogether or mix live audience reactions with the canned laughter.Filming a show in front of a live audience became a symbol of honour. 4 Live audiences did not always provide a usable response,especially after a long day of retakes.

Today,the same company created by Charley Douglass offers an improved digital version of the original Laff Box. 5 Most sitcoms produced today are still recorded in front of a live audience,but a more subtle laugh track can be used to improve weak responses.

A.However,there was a problem.

B.The belief is that laughter creates laughter.

C.The first known use of a recorded laugh track is said to be in 1950.

D.The effective use of canned laughter is considered more of an art than a science. E.Douglass recorded different styles of laughter and applause without the sound of dialogue.

F.If this is true,audience reactions in modern sitcoms may have actually been recorded several years ago.

G.In addition to the original laughter and applause,there are tracks for foreign audiences and children’s shows.

考点规范练4(必修1 Unit 4)

Ⅰ.【解题导语】本文是说明文。德国DHL公司采用无人机运送急需物品。

1.B 细节理解题。由第二段开头的“The company’s plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist...”可知。

2.D 段落大意题。由第三段开头的“But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden flight...”及下文的介绍可知,该段主要介绍了该公司针对最初的无人机所做的改进。

3.D 细节理解题。由第四段中的“...the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will be completely automated,even during takeoff and landing.”可知,新的无人机在整个飞行过程中是全自动的。

4.B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“For now,the company will be using the drones,only when...day-to-day deliveries...”可推断,短期内无人机不会被广泛使用。

【解题导语】解掉领带可以让体温下降2或3度,所以许多公司鼓励员工不戴领带上班,以抵制全球气候变暖;但是,这种主张遭到了领带制造商的反对。

5.B 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Want to help fight global warming?Take off your tie...”可知,解掉领带是为了抵制全球变暖,故B项正确。

6.A 细节理解题。根据第五段中的“...ENI,which told its staff earlier this month they need not wear a tie at work.”可知,ENI公司最早鼓励员工上班时不戴领带,故A项正确。

7.A 词义猜测题。根据第四段和第五段可知,包括ENI在内的许多公司,都鼓励员工不戴领带上班;根据常识可以判断,此举势必造成领带制造商的商品滞销;结合第七段的“Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter...”可以判断,画线部分意为“愤怒的”,故A项正确。speechless意为“(因愤怒等)说不出话的”,delighted意为“高兴的”,puzzled意为“困惑的”,都与语境不符。

8.D 推理判断题。根据第六段“The tie makers,however,were left hot under the collar.”以及第七段中的“‘Italy confirms that it is a strange country,’Flavio Cima said angrily in a letter...”可知,对于鼓励员工不戴领带上班一事,作为领带制造商的弗拉维奥·西玛非常生气;据此可以判断,他对不戴领带工作的观点有异议,故D项正确。 Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了罐头笑声。

1.B 根据本空下一句内容可知,罐头笑声能引发人们对喜剧的自然反应——笑,这是因为人们“相信,笑声能产生笑声”。

2.C 根据本段中的“Until that time...no canned laughter at all.”可推知,“20世纪50年代”,Hank McCune Show的制作人在后期制作时加入了罐头笑声,这是“已知对罐头笑声的首次使用”。

3.F 根据本段内容可知,查理·道格拉斯在1953年发明了“笑箱”,传言他从不同喜剧节目的录音录像中搜集笑声,“如果这是真的,那么现代情景喜剧中观众的反应实际上是很多年前被录下来的”。

4.A 根据本句上下句内容可知,在现场观众面前拍摄是“有问题的”,因为现场观众不能总是提供可以用的反应,尤其是在看了一整天的重新拍摄以后。

5.G 根据本空上一句中的an improved digital version可推测,“笑箱”升级后“除了原来的笑声和掌声,还有为外国观众和儿童剧的录音”。 Ⅲ.Notice
