知识点01You bet! I want to beat He Zhong this year. He’s not going to win it twice!
当然了!我今年要赢过何忠,我不会让他赢两次的!
【考点1】you bet意为“的确;当然;一定”,是一句日常交际用语,相当于sure, certainly或of course,表示同意前面所说的内容。you bet即You can bet money on that.“你可以把钱下注在那上面”,言下之意,就是说这件事百分之百正确。是一种非常流行的表达方式,在美国甚至比yes用得更频繁。bet动词,过去式过去分词仍为bet,意为“打赌;下赌注”。如:
---- Could you keep it a secret for me 你能给我保密吗 ---- You bet. 当然。
---- Will you go to Shanghai with me 你愿意和我一起去上海吗?---- You bet! 当然了!
【考点2】【辨析】beat和win的用法辨析:

Our school beat them in the football match. 在这次足球赛中我们学校打败了他们。
We beat the strongest team in the football match this time. 在这次足球赛中我们战胜了最强的那支球队。

题组C 培优拔尖练
When Emma Yang was seven years old, her grandmother became forgetful. Over the next few years, those memory problems, caused by early Alzheimer’s disease, worsened. Yang, who learned to write computer programs at an early age, decided to create an app to help. “When I was about 1l, I got really interested in using technology for social good to help other people around the world,”says Yang, who is now 14.
In her app,called Timeless, Alzheimer’s patients can look through photos of friends and family, and the app will tell them who the people are and how they’re related to the patients. The app also includes a simple reminder screen that lists appointments for the day, along with a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names. If a patient tries to call a contact repeatedly, the app will flash a quick reminder:“You just called less than five minutes ago.”A“me”page shows the patient’s own name, age, phone number and address.
“There are no apps that really help Alzheimer’s patients with their daily lives,”Yang says.“A lot of times people think that the elderly can’t really use technology, but in fact, if you introduce it to them carefully, it can really benefit their lives.”
Katherine Possin, an associate professor at the UCSF Memory and Aging Center, agrees. “It can be hard for somebody who has a lot of memory problems to learn a new technology,”Possin says.“But if the app is simple enough, they can learn to use it through practice.”
Looking through the photos, Possin says, can be a type of social activity for the patient,helping keep family members and friends in mind. It also could strengthen memory.“I think it can be very helpful for patients to exercise memories and make them stronger and make them more resilient(可迅速恢复的) in the face of the disease.”
1.What is the “contacts screen” made for
A.To show the list of appointments for the day.
B.To show the patient’s own information.
C.To show photos of family members.
D.To show the changes in the patient.
2.The underlined word “them” refers to “ ”.
A.old people B.Alzheimer’s patients
C.apps D.technologies
3.What can we learn from Katherine Possin
A. It is easy for Alzheimer’s patients to learn to use apps.
B.The app can help Alzheimer’s patients strengthen their memory.
C.The UCSF Memory and Aging Center is helping Yang develop the app.
D.Social activities can help Alzheimer’s patients remember things about themselves.
4.What is the best title for the passage
A.A Perfect App for the Patients—Timeless
B.Young Developer of an Alzheimer’s App
C.New Medicines to Cure Alzheimer’s
D.A Talented Student—Emma Yang
1.【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。在第二段中的“along with a simple contacts screen that shows photos of family members along with names”,that引导定语从句修饰contacts screen,所以,从句就是它的作用。故选C。
2.【答案】A
【解析】细节理解题。them为代词,用来代替前面出现过的名词。前面的句子说人们认为老年人不会使用技术,本句说如果你认真地向他们介绍的话,将会有利于他们的生活。因此这里的他们指上文提到过的老人。故选A。
3.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。从最后一段中的“It also could strengthen memory.”可知,应选B。
4.【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。通读全文可知本文主要讲的是Emma和她开发的帮助阿尔茨海默病患者的软件。故选B。
