Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors李仕才一、閱讀理解。Four years ago，we asked ourselves：What if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in line and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go，where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required.We created the world's most advanced shopping technology，so you never have to wait in line.With our“just walk out shopping” experience，simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store，take the products you want，and go！No lines，no checkout.Our checkout­free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self­driving cars：computer vision，sensor fusion，and deep learning.Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart.When you're done shopping，you can just leave the store.Shortly after，we'll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.We offer delicious ready­to­eat breakfast，lunch，dinner，and snack options made fresh every day by our on­site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries.Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates.You'll find well­known brands we love，plus special finds we're excited to introduce to customers.For a quick home­cooked dinner，pick up one of our chef­designed Amazon Meal Kits，and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.Our roughly 1,800­square­foot shopping space is conveniently compact(緊湊的)，so busy customers can get in and out fast.It is located at 2131,7th Ave，Seattle，WA，on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.All you need is an Amazon account，a supported smartphone，and the free Amazon Go app.Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program，and will be open to the public soon.1From the passage，we can learn that Amazon Go _.Ais a checkout­free storeBsells all kinds of goodsCis open to the publicDuses unknown technologies2What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?AWhen Amazon Go charges.BHow Amazon Go works.CWhere Amazon Go lies.DWhat Amazon Go sells.3Customers pay for the products from Amazon Go by _.Apaying cash at the counterBwalking out of the storeCusing their Amazon accountsDscanning smartphones when leaving4The main purpose of the passage is to _.Aencourage people to shop onlineBadvise people to work for AmazonCinform people of a new concept storeDtell people of the shopping experience【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了有關(guān)Amazon Go便利店的一些信息?！倦y句分析】Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go?分析：該句為主從復(fù)合句。句中where customers could simply take what they want and go為where引導(dǎo)的地點(diǎn)狀語從句，修飾先行詞store；其中take后接what引導(dǎo)的賓語從句what they want and go。譯文：或者我們能不能創(chuàng)建一家實(shí)體店，在那里顧客只要拿走他們想要的東西然后離開？1A考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required”可知，Amazon Go便利店無需在收銀臺(tái)結(jié)賬，故A項(xiàng)正確。B項(xiàng)文中沒有提及；根據(jù)文章最后一句“Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program，and will be open to the public soon”可知，Amazon Go目前僅處于試營業(yè)階段，僅對(duì)亞馬遜員工開放，故C項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第三段第一句“Our checkout­free shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in self­driving cars：computer vision，sensor fusion，and deep learning”可知，Amazon Go使用的技術(shù)類似于無人駕駛汽車的技術(shù)，故D項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤。2B考查段落大意。通讀第三段可知，該段主要介紹了無人收銀的技術(shù)原理，即類似于無人駕駛汽車的技術(shù)；還介紹了顧客付款的技術(shù)原理。據(jù)此可知，該段主要介紹Amazon Go便利店的運(yùn)作原理，故B項(xiàng)正確。3C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段最后一句“Shortly after，we'll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt”可知，在顧客離開后，Amazon Go會(huì)通過亞馬遜賬戶收取顧客的費(fèi)用，故C項(xiàng)正確。4C考查寫作意圖。通讀全文可知，本文主要介紹了一種新形式的零售便利店Amazon Go，介紹了該便利店的運(yùn)作過程、技術(shù)原理、地理位置、即食食品服務(wù)等。故C項(xiàng)正確。二、單句語法填空。1They _(interrupt) by a sudden and urgent knock at the door.答案：were interrupted表示過去發(fā)生的動(dòng)作，且主語they與interrupt之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故應(yīng)用一般過去時(shí)的被動(dòng)語態(tài)，填were interrupted。2We have no alternative but _(sell) our house to pay the debt.答案：to sellhave no alternative but to do . “除之外別無選擇，只能做”。3It is generally _(assume) that stress is caused by too much work.答案：assumedIt is assumed that . “普遍認(rèn)為”。4We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great _ (significant) to both our society and ourselves.答案：significanceof great significancevery significant “意義重大/非常重要”。5Once _(arrest), he was likely to betray everything to the police.答案：arrestedarrest與其邏輯主語he之間為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，故用過去分詞在句中作狀語。6If only I _ (look) ahead a few days ago! Then I wouldn't have been feeling so worried now.答案：had looked由語境和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可判斷if only后應(yīng)用虛擬語氣；由時(shí)間狀語a few days ago 可知表示與過去事實(shí)相反，故應(yīng)填had looked。look ahead “向前看；為將來打算”。7This is a historic building _(date) back to the 17th century.答案：datingdate back todate from表示“追溯到”，無進(jìn)行時(shí)，無被動(dòng)語態(tài)，句中已有謂語動(dòng)詞is，且building和date back to存在邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系，故應(yīng)填現(xiàn)在分詞dating作后置定語。8I am fed up _this weather; it's time we had some sunshine.答案：withbe fed up with “受夠了；厭煩”。9Sometimes we went ahead and did it, regardless _the consequences.答案：ofregardless of “不管；不顧”。10While working out the problem, you should pay more attention to the _(accurate)答案：accuracy由空格前的冠詞the可知，此處填名詞形式。三、完形填空?！癎od，give us thankful hearts for these
