new drone(無人駕駛飛機(jī)) delivery service to get “urgently needed goods,”such as life-saving medicines,to certain remote locations.The panys plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist,an island in Germanys North Sea,where more traditional delivery options(such as ferries or trains) arent always available.The drone service is a continuation of DHLs “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,theyve 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 timeabout 45 minutes before needing to be rechargedenabling 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 pletely 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(急件遞送者).For now,the pany will be using the drones,only when other delivery options arent available,and no plans are currently in the works to incorporate the parcelcopters into normal day-to-day deliveries,according to pany 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 arent 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 lighterB.can deliver much heavier parcelsC.can send parcels directly to recipientsD.will be fully automatic during the whole flight4.What can we infer from the text?A.The drones have been in use since December 2013.B.The drones wont 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.BThe American travel website pany TripAdvisor publishes a list of the worlds best beaches every year.Today，we are going to explore some of this years top 10 beaches in the

getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy. Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知，Baia do Sancho比較難到達(dá)，所以選D。2C考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known，however, for its dramatic sunsets”可知，Eagle Beach有令人印象深刻的日落，與題干的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表達(dá)的意思相一致，所以選C。3B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段句子“It has a fun，laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知，在Playa Paraiso能夠享用令人放松的晚餐，所以選B。.七選五閱讀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(激發(fā)) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a taped sit(situation edy).1Therefore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to edies.2The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after the shows taping.Until that time,other radio and television edies 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(裝置) 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 edy shows.3During the 1970s,many sits 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 pany created by Charley Douglass offers an improved digital version of the original Laff Box.5Most sits 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 sits may have actually been recorded several years ago.G.In addition to the original laughter and applause,there are tracks for foreign audiences and childrens shows.書面表達(dá)(2017安徽“皖南八校”第二次聯(lián)考)假如你是學(xué)生會(huì)主席李華,為了讓外國(guó)人了解中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化,學(xué)生會(huì)將進(jìn)行“唐詩吟誦大賽”(Tang Poetry Recitation Contest),特邀請(qǐng)學(xué)校國(guó)際部學(xué)生參加,請(qǐng)你根據(jù)提示寫一則通知。主要內(nèi)容包括:1.大賽目的和意義;2.主辦方:校學(xué)生會(huì)。時(shí)間:12月30日。地點(diǎn):校報(bào)告廳(assembly hall);3.范圍:唐詩三百首(Three Hundred Tang Poems)。注意:1.詞數(shù)100左右;2.可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文流暢。NoticeDo you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?考點(diǎn)規(guī)范練(必修1Unit 4)【短文語法填空】.A【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。德國(guó)DHL公司采用無人機(jī)運(yùn)送急需物品。1.B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段開頭的“The panys plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist.”可知。2.D段落大意題。由第三段開頭的“But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden flight.”及下文的介紹可知,該段主要介紹了該公司針對(duì)最初的無人機(jī)所做的改進(jìn)。3.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“.the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will be pletely automated,even during takeoff and landing.”可知,新的無人機(jī)在整個(gè)飛行過程中是全自動(dòng)的。4.B推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“For now,the pany will be using the drones,only when.day-to-day deliveries.”可推斷,短期內(nèi)無人機(jī)不會(huì)被廣泛使用。B.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章介紹了罐頭笑聲。1.B根據(jù)本空下一句內(nèi)容可知,罐頭笑聲能引發(fā)人們對(duì)喜劇的自然反應(yīng)笑,這是因?yàn)槿藗儭跋嘈?笑聲能產(chǎn)生笑聲”。2.C根據(jù)本段中的“Until that time.no canned laughter at all.”可推知,“20世紀(jì)50年代”,Hank McCune Show的制作人在后期制作時(shí)加入了罐頭笑聲,這是“已知對(duì)罐頭笑聲的首次使用”。3.F根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,查理道格拉斯在1953年發(fā)明了“笑箱”,傳言他從不同喜劇節(jié)目的錄音錄像中搜集笑聲,“如果這是真的,那么現(xiàn)代情景喜劇中觀眾的反應(yīng)實(shí)際上是很多年前被錄下來的”。4.A根據(jù)本句上下句內(nèi)容可知,在現(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀眾面前拍攝是“有問題的”,因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)場(chǎng)觀眾不能總是提供可以用的反應(yīng),尤其是在看了一整天的重新拍攝以后。5.G根據(jù)本空上一句中的an improved digital version可推測(cè),“笑箱”升級(jí)后“除了原來的笑聲和掌聲,還有為外國(guó)觀眾和兒童劇的錄音”。.NoticeDo you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?Here es your opportunity:the Student Union will organize a Tang Poetry Recitation Contest.Id like to share with you some details.As scheduled,the contest is to be held on Dec 30th.You are supposed to get prepared before the contest.Above all,its remended that you should read Three Hundred Tang Poems,and learn to appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese culture.Whoever feels interested and has a passion for Chinese culture,please sign up for the contest as soon as possible.If you want to attend,please e to the school assembly hall.Dont miss the chance of being a winner,and some appealing prize is eagerly waiting for you.Dont hesitate to take part!Im sure you will benefit a lot and your Chinese will gain much progress.
