課時達(dá)標(biāo)(十八) Unit 3 A taste of English humour (見學(xué)用課時P41) 閱讀理解A課標(biāo)話題人與社會·重大政治事件體裁應(yīng)用文詞數(shù) 330難度 OK, so it's not a real warbut the US. and China are at the beginning of a trade war thanks to President Trump's policy. The Chinese government raised $34 billion in new duties on goods exported from the US. last week in answer to President Trump's unwise tariffs(關(guān)稅) of $34 billion on Chinese goods.Farm and seafood­producing states are going to be hit hardest by China's new tariffs on US. goods. States where cars are made and shipped to China are on_the_hook,_as well.In terms of value, some 38 percent of products on the tariff list are agricultural, including soybeans, sorghum, tobacco and meat. That's nothing like good news for farm­belt states, primarily in the Midwest like Iowa.A wide range of seafood is on China's tariff list. That could hurt fishery workers in Alaska and lobster(龍蝦) harvesters in Maine. Alaska, for example, exported nearly $1 billion worth of seafood to China. “China is a major market for Alaska seafood，” said Alexa Tonkovich, Executive Director of the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute. “The seafood industry directly employs nearly 60,000 workers in Alaska each year and directly employs more workers than any other private industry.”And automaking States, particularly in the South, are also at risk. Some 24 percent of products on the listin terms of valueare cars, trucks and other vehicles. Michigan alone exported $1.7 billion worth of motor vehicles and vehicle parts to China in 2017. Other states being affected include South Carolina, where BMW makes SUVs for both the US. and export, and Alabama, home to Mercedes­Benz, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai Factories.This round of tariffs spares some industries, like commercial aircraft. Washington State could breathe a sigh of relief, which is home to Boeing. It also, for the moment, skips tariffs on chemical products.Alexa Tonkovich has warned the US. government that the trade war could risk jobs, reduce industry profits, and cause higher prices for consumers in the US.!語篇導(dǎo)讀本文報道了由美國總統(tǒng)Trump主動挑起的中美貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)對美國的農(nóng)業(yè)、海鮮產(chǎn)業(yè)和汽車制造業(yè)的影響。1What does the underlined phrase “on the hook” mean?ACaught in a difficult situation.BLost in deep thought.CDelighted in their luck.DStuck in the traffic jams.解析 A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)畫線部分前一句和畫線部分后的as well可知，畫線詞與hit hardest意思相近，故選A項。2Which state will be hurt the least on this round of tariffs?AIowa.

DSympathetic.解析 B觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。根據(jù)第四段可知，Alexa Tonkovich認(rèn)為貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)對美國的海鮮產(chǎn)業(yè)影響很大；最后一段提到，Alexa Tonkovich警告美國政府說貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)可能威脅工作崗位，減少產(chǎn)業(yè)利潤，造成物價上漲，因此可判斷他反對貿(mào)易戰(zhàn)，故選B項。B課標(biāo)話題人與社會·社會熱點(diǎn)問題體裁說明文詞數(shù) 300難度 (2019·優(yōu)創(chuàng)名校聯(lián)考)With the ever­increasing popularity of online shopping, users' reviews are becoming more and more important.Given that you can't actually touch, see, smell or hear the product you're buying online, these reviews will provide you with valuable information on the product itself.But how far can you trust them?Barnaby Bicken had an unpleasant experience.“I took some friends to a restaurant in Manchester that had excellent reviews on a food website.However, the service was awful and we were ignored most of the time.Later, I wrote a review on the same site only to be told that the review site owner would not accept any bad reviewsonly the good ones.”So, how can you get a useful review? Web expert Hilary Saunders has a few top tips.“If there are only a few reviews of a place, there is a good chance they have been planted by friends or enemies.If there are many reviews, start by dropping the most extreme comments.Also, watch out for similarities in style between reviews from people with different usernames, particularly if those reviews were placed about the same time.The best thing is to look for reviewers who show some relevant knowledge of the product they are reviewing.”Some companies seem to be contributing to the problem.A publishing house offered gift vouchers(購物禮券) to anyone who would give their textbook a five­star review.But not all online companies operate like this.“Amazon works hard to keep the completeness of its customer reviews，” said a spokesperson for the company.“We have very clear guidelines, and when a customer reports a review that he feels is inappropriate, we check, and may take it down.”So, next time you see that five­star review for something you want to buy, be awareit could be the work of a false reviewer!語篇導(dǎo)讀如今網(wǎng)購非常普遍，消費(fèi)者的評價變得越來越重要。但是，這些評價的可信度到底有多高呢？4What does “them” in Paragraph 1 refer to?AProducts. BUsers.CReviews.
