Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country's long-standing problems: garbage and poverty.It's called The Chip Bag Project.The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favour of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay's, to other favourites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them.After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together.It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether it's single-serve or family-size.The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told The Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, The Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, it has created 110 sleeping bags.Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags.But that's only half the goal for Oleita — whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life — and her fellow volunteers.“We are committed to making an impact not only socially, but also environmentally,” she said.
And, of course, there's the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash and using them to help the homeless.It' s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand.As Oleita told www., “I think it's time to show connections between these issues.”

3.Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “salvaging” in the last paragraph
A.Sewing. B.Designing.
C.Emptying. D.Recycling.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash”可知, 如果不这么做这些袋子会被丢入垃圾堆里。因此,画线词的意思应该与“被丢弃”相反,故D项“回收利用”与画线词意义接近。
4.Which of the following best describes Eradajere Oleita

My kids sit in Gee's living room and gently lift the New Year ornaments (装饰品) out of a well-loved cardboard box.Gee stands beside them, quietly explaining each treasure.She tells them that she and Tom built their ornament collection piece by piece during each year's after-New Year sale.
We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage.Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who.Then one day we spotted him: an elderly man who lived across the street.
I baked cookies and left them in a chair outside the garage with a thank-you note.When we got home from work that day, a typed letter had replaced the gift.The letter was from Tom and explained how he had come to walk the neighbourhood on garbage day, returning garbage cans for people he barely knew.
Then, his young wife, Gee, found herself living alone.Neighbours had taken the time to handle her garbage cans.
We photocopied that letter and attached it to one of our own for Gee.We told her how special Tom had been to us, how we grieved (悲伤) for her, and how thankful we were to have known him.
When Gee invited us over to look through the New Year ornaments, I realized how hard it must be to part with that box, a piece of Tom.It's the man who lets our kids pick peaches off the tree in his front yard.It's the ladies who call Tom when their pool filter breaks.
These days, we're piling up boxes of our own.We are planning a move, but Jim and I agree to wait until January.This New Year, we'll decorate our furniture with Gee's ornaments, out of the box that is labeled in Tom's handwriting.Thank you, I'll say, for teaching us what it means to be a neighbour.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章简述了作者邻居间发生的暖人的事情,并由此让作者感悟到了做邻居的意义。

8.What's the best title for the passage

How does it feel when you solve a problem by yourself Things may not always go as planned, but being resourceful can help you stay calm and work your way out of tricky situations.
Being resourceful means finding smart and creative ways to solve a problem, using whatever resources you have at the time. __9__ They can also be anything else that's useful, such as information, advice or your own experience.It also means trusting your instincts, the ability you're born with, and being confident about your ability to face challenges.A resourceful person is not the one getting cross or panicking when something goes wrong.They're thinking about how to solve the problem.
__10__ When you learn to solve problems by yourself rather than immediately going to others for help, it can help to build your confidence, help you feel more independent and feel better about making decisions.Being resourceful may not help you avoid problems, but thinking creatively about how you can deal with them will make you feel less stressed and more prepared next time. __11__ This can boost self-esteem, that is, how you feel about yourself.
When you're facing a challenge, try to focus on the actual problem rather than how you feel about it.Think about where and when it happens and what the causes are.Next, think up as many solutions to the problem as you can. __12__ Finally, review what has and hasn't worked, so you're equipped to deal with a situation next time.
And remember, if you have a tricky problem that you're unable to solve, then ask a trusted adult for help. __13__
A.You also learn what you're good at.
B.Here is how you can be more resourceful.
C.These may be practical things like pens and paper.
D.No one is expected to solve all problems by himself.
E.Resourcefulness is a skill that's good for you in lots of ways.
F.They can be famous mottos that always inspire you to move on.
G.Weigh what's good and bad about each one and choose the best.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了足智多谋的益处以及在生活中如何做到足智多谋。
9.选C 根据空后一句中的“also”“information,advice or your own experience”可知,此处应说一些不抽象的资源会是什么。故C项“这些(资源)可能是像钢笔和纸之类的实用的东西。”符合语境。
10.选E 根据空处所在位置可以推断,空处可能为段落主旨句,再结合空后内容可知,本段主要讲足智多谋的好处。故选E项。
11.选A 根据语境可知,此处也应描述足智多谋的益处,结合选项可知选A,且A项与空后的“This”相对应。
12.选G 根据空前的“as many solutions to the problem as you can”和常识可知,此处应说接下来考虑每个解决方案的利弊并最终选出最好的。故选G。
13.选D 空前提到如果你遇到了不能解决的棘手问题,你可以向信任的成年人求助。故D项“没有人被要求独立解决所有的问题。”承接上句,符合语境。课下主题训练认识自我,丰富自我,完善自我

Ⅰ.阅读理解
There's a childlike joy that comes with ordering something online — whether it be clothes or kitchen stuff.We sit anxiously refreshing the postal service or express pages to see when our items will arrive, and we become overly excited, hopeful and anxious.
According to Owen O'Kane, a psychologist and writer, even the smallest positive future events can motivate us when we're feeling down — especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, which has been filled with unexpected disappointments.Waiting for a parcel may not just represent an imagined positive future where you can control your needs for a book or a toaster or a shirt, making life feel more manageable, but can also serve as a temporary distraction (分心的事物) from the boring life because it gives you something new to wake up to and get excited about.
However, people _went_into_a_frenzy when the postal service announced that its mail delivery would become permanently slower.And then, many became worried about whether their items would arrive on time, appear in a broken state, or simply not live up to their expectations.A delayed package may seem insignificant to some.But for others, getting their hopes up only for them to be thwarted (挫败) can cause anxiety and anger.O'Kane says these reactions are natural, but they are telling about more deep-rooted internal issues in our lives that go beyond the delayed package.It's really symbolic of something bigger, psychologically, of the need to control and the need for everything to be perfect.
It's important to practice self-care and treat yourself with occasional gifts.However, experts caution that comfort shopping is only a temporary fix, which only helps you escape problems temporarily.“Shopping for and receiving an item is stimulating on some level, and also the most passive way to live,” O'Kane adds.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了专家认为网购只会带来短暂的慰藉,人们仍需积极地面对生活并采取行动从而解决问题。
1.Why do we look forward to receiving packages based on the first two paragraphs
A.It makes life easy to manage.
B.It gives us something positive to expect.
C.It distracts us from a better life.
D.It helps us avoid unexpected disappointments.

2.What does the underlined phrase “went into a frenzy” probably mean
A.Canceled their orders.
B.Stood still to call for their parcels.
C.Got into a state of craziness.
D.Ran into a postal service company.

3.What is O'Kane's attitude towards people's reactions to the delayed package
A.Concerned. B.Indifferent.
C.Optimistic. D.Positive.
解析:选A 观点态度题。根据第三段中的“O'Kane says these ... the delayed package.”可以看出,面对人们对待延迟送货的反应,O'Kane表示很担心。
4.What exactly does the writer want to say in the last paragraph
A.Find hope in your comfort shopping.
B.Never order and track something online.
C.Go shopping for and receiving items occasionally.
D.Live actively and take action to solve problems for good.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“comfort shopping is only ...‘Shopping for and receiving an item is ...the most passive way to live,’”可知,购物只能帮人短暂地逃避问题,是一种最消极的生活方式,据此可以推测,作者呼吁人们要积极生活,采取行动解决问题。

语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过研究发现,喜欢吃糖实际上是对糖的上瘾。这种习惯严重影响着身体健康。为消除这种影响,一些学校正在用水果等作零食代替含糖甜品。
1.leaving 考查非谓语动词。分析该句结构可知,空处作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故用现在分词形式。
2.tasty 考查形容词。空处修饰名词foods,故用形容词形式。
3.are designed 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。主语和动词design之间为被动关系,故用被动语态;主语Our bodies是复数意义,故谓语动词应用复数形式;该句陈述的是一般规律,故用一般现在时。

6.solution 考查名词。根据定冠词the可知,空处应用名词形式。

8.that 考查定语从句。分析该句结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词people and organizations,在从句中作主语,故用关系代词引导该定语从句。当有两个先行词,一个指人,一个指物时,定语从句的关系词只能用that。
9.are growing 考查动词时态和主谓一致。根据上句中的“are replacing”可知,该句也应用现在进行时,表示正在发生的动作,且schools表示复数概念,故填are growing。
10.facilities 考查名词复数。根据“like walking tracks”并结合常识可知,学校在校园里建诸如跑道等体育设施。体育设施有很多,应用复数形式,故填facilities。Module 2 课下主题训练 个人、家庭、社区及学校生活

However, people _went_into_a_frenzy when the postal service announced that its mail delivery would become permanently slower.And then, many became worried about whether their items would arrive on time, appear in a broken state, or simply not live up to their expectations.A delayed package may seem insignificant to some.But for others, getting their hopes up only for them to be thwarted (挫败) can cause anxiety and anger.O'Kane says these reactions are natural, but they are telling about more deep-rooted internal issues in our lives that go beyond the delayed package.It's really symbolic of something bigger, psychologically, of the need to control and the need for everything to be perfect.
It's important to practice self-care and treat yourself with occasional gifts.However, experts caution that comfort shopping is only a temporary fix, which only helps you escape problems temporarily.“Shopping for and receiving an item is stimulating on some level, and also the most passive way to live,” O'Kane adds.
1.Why do we look forward to receiving packages based on the first two paragraphs
A.It makes life easy to manage.
B.It gives us something positive to expect.
C.It distracts us from a better life.
D.It helps us avoid unexpected disappointments.
2.What does the underlined phrase “went into a frenzy” probably mean
A.Canceled their orders.
B.Stood still to call for their parcels.
C.Got into a state of craziness.
D.Ran into a postal service company.
3.What is O'Kane's attitude towards people's reactions to the delayed package
A.Concerned. B.Indifferent.
C.Optimistic. D.Positive.
4.What exactly does the writer want to say in the last paragraph
A.Find hope in your comfort shopping.
B.Never order and track something online.
C.Go shopping for and receiving items occasionally.
D.Live actively and take action to solve problems for good.

In Spain, children and their families are riding bikes to school together in large groups.The program is called “bicibús” or the bike bus.In Barcelona, the program started recently with only five children and grew quickly to hundreds of riders.
This fall, children in the Eixample area of Barcelona have a new way to get to school on Fridays — they ride their bikes.In September, a group of five children began biking to school with their parents on Fridays.Soon the group grew to 150 or more.The bike bus begins around 8:25 every Friday morning.The path it will follow is always posted ahead of time, so everyone knows where to join.
Instead of riding in bike lanes (车道) or on sidewalks, the bicibús takes up the entire street.The commute (上下班路程) of these bikers takes about 25 minutes.And with the ever-growing cycling and skating kids taking part in this bike bus culture, the local police are helping stop traffic by riding in front of the bicibús and behind it.This further makes the parents happy that the additional security means their children will travel safely to school.
With music playing and bike bells ringing, the bicibús feels like a party.“The best part of the bicibús is that we ride along and pick up our friends and we ride together,” nine-year-old Maria Pitarch says.
Some parents have made the bicibús the way they get to work on Fridays.Parents are hoping that the bicibús will help change ideas about how people can get around in the city.They want the city to create wider, kid-friendly bike lanes that are separate from vehicle lanes.They point out that the bicibús also helps cut down on pollution.
Recently, pictures and videos of the Eixample bicibús got a lot of attention on social media.Many people pointed out what a simple idea it is, and how easy it is to get started.Already some other areas in Barcelona are also organizing bike buses.

Shannan Hearne's oldest dream was to own a ranch (牧场).In February 2020, her dream finally came true when she opened the gates of Sun and Moon Ranch.Then, just a month later, the country slid into COVID-19 lockdown. __5__
With large areas of grasslands and plenty of sunshine and fresh air, there was no safer way for frightened neighbors to get out of the house. __6__ Sure, you can sign up for riding lessons or board your horse.But you can also drop by to play with the chickens, goats, and dogs, or join the younger ranchers playing on the big pile of freshly dug dirt.Hearne now saw the ranch as something more than a business — it would be a place the community could call home.
__7__ Many of them came not just for free cookouts, but for the chance to find peace of mind.“I had a vision for the space able to help cure those in need,” says Hearne.One of those people, now 15, was born without fingers on one hand.His grandmother brought him to Sun and Moon for riding lessons.Learning to control a horse with one hand helped him better manage his disability, and he grew closer to his grandmother over their shared love of horses. “__8__ And I believe this is especially true for children or anyone who struggles with any sort of psychological issue,” Hearne says.
Another boy became selectively silent because of his autism (自闭症). __9__ Taking the reins (缰绳), literally, helped him do so in his daily life too.“I could see how the empowerment of riding was helping him feel once again in control of the world around him,” says Hearne.
A.The ranch, Hearne realized, should be for everybody.
B.As the pandemic deepened, locals began to gather there.
C.Soon Hearne's dream began to grow into something bigger.
D.Locals desired to put up a tent there when they felt worn out.

Cycling as a way of getting around is considered one of the most efficient ways to travel due to its small carbon footprint. Many people would be happy to ride a bike in their everyday life, but to be massively adopted, better infrastructure (基础设施) and a cultural shift are needed. Bike kitchens, community-run biking centers, are part of a worldwide movement that can help with just such a challenge. Bike kitchens are maintenance workshops providing their community members in centers all over the globe with tools, used parts, and repair assistance to promote the use of bicycles locally.
Transitioning from other means of transportation like cars and motorcycles to the mainstream use of bikes has many benefits for individuals, communities, and even the environment. Cycling promotes physical and mental health, improves social cohesion (团结), and boosts mobility and independence. It is also easy for lower income groups to buy and more accessible to larger groups of population. And the infrastructure needed for bikes doesn't require a huge budget.
For individuals in many developed countries, transport can be the largest part of their carbon footprint. It's reported that transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions. For short or medium distances, bikes are one of the lowest-carbon ways to travel. The carbon footprint of cycling one kilometer (just over half a mile ) is around only 16 to 50 grams CO2-eq (二氧化碳当量) and, even more shockingly, using a bike instead of a car for short trips would reduce a person's travel emissions by 75 percent.
Community bike kitchens encourage a more sustainable way of traveling that makes cities more friendly, while reinforcing community values. They help build a community economy that prevents waste generation, since most parts are secondhand, fixed, or reused.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。为了促进自行车的广泛使用,有必要提高基础设施建设和促进文化转变,自行车厨房正在帮助解决这一问题,并发展自行车文化。
1.Which of the following is necessary to promote the use of bikes
A.Pleasure from riding a bike in daily life.

2.What is the biggest advantage of bicycles for low-income people

C.Beneficial to health. D.Convenient.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知,低收入群体很容易购买自行车,而且自行车所需的基础设施也不需要巨额预算。由此可知,自行车对于低收入群体最大的好处是支付得起。
3.How is Paragraph 3 developed
A.By providing figures.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By listing examples.
D.By giving explanation.
解析:选A 写作手法题。根据第三段中的“... transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions.”“...around only 16 to 50 grams CO2-eq”以及“...using a bike ...for short trips would reduce a person's travel emissions by 75 percent.”可知,本段通过列举一些具体的数据,说明发达国家个人的交通运输可能是其碳足迹的最大组成部分。

Ranjitsinh Disale was awarded the desired prize in recognition of his efforts at promoting girls' education and causing a quick-response or QR coded (二维码) textbook revolution in India.
He made it to the top 10 shortlist from a pool of over 12,000 entries from 140 countries. In his acceptance speech, he said, “Teachers are the real change-makers who are changing the lives of their students with a mixture of chalk and challenges. They always believe in giving and sharing. And, therefore, I am very pleased to announce that I will share 50 percent of the prize money equally among my fellow top 10 finalists to support their incredible work. I believe, together, we can change this world because sharing is growing.”
Disale, 31, arrived at the Zilla Parishad Primary School in Paritewadi village in Solapur district in 2009 when it was a dilapidated building, sandwiched between a cattle shed and a storeroom. His attempt to turn things around saw him not only translating the class textbooks for his students into their mother tongue but also embedding them with unique QR codes to give students access to audio poems, video lectures, stories and assignments. The impact was such that there was 100 percent attendance of girls at the school in the village.
The use of QR coded textbooks has greatly improved students' interest in learning, and students can scan the QR code on textbooks to obtain knowledge beyond textbooks, which has strongly stimulated students' motivation to learn. In some areas with backward education, textbooks are the only learning materials for students in most cases, so the use of QR coded textbooks provides students with a new way to learn more knowledge.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了印度老师引领二维码教科书革命的故事。文章旨在培养学生的创新意识和奉献精神。
5.What helped Ranjitsinh Disale win the prize

A.He is very generous and devoted.
B.He won the first place in the contest.
C.He wants to be a teacher in the future.
D.He thinks the winners can change the world.

7.What does the underlined word “dilapidated” mean
A.Shabby. B.Advanced.
C.Steady. D.Historic.
解析:选A 词义猜测题。根据第三段画线词后的“sandwiched between a cattle shed and a storeroom”可知,这个小学是一栋夹在牛棚和仓库之间的建筑。根据常识可推断出,这所学校比较破旧。
8.What's the main idea of the last paragraph
A.How to use QR coded textbooks.
B.The benefits of QR coded textbooks.
C.How to stimulate students' motivation.
D.New ways to use the mobile phone.

Bike kitchens are maintenance workshops providing their community members in centers all over the globe with tools, used parts, and repair assistance to promote the use of bicycles locally.
Transitioning from other means of transportation like cars and motorcycles to the mainstream use of bikes has many benefits for individuals, communities, and even the environment. Cycling promotes physical and mental health, improves social cohesion (团结), and boosts mobility and independence. It is also easy for lower income groups to buy and more accessible to larger groups of population. And the infrastructure needed for bikes doesn't require a huge budget.
For individuals in many developed countries, transport can be the largest part of their carbon footprint. It's reported that transport accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon dioxide emissions. For short or medium distances, bikes are one of the lowest-carbon ways to travel. The carbon footprint of cycling one kilometer (just over half a mile ) is around only 16 to 50 grams CO2-eq (二氧化碳当量) and, even more shockingly, using a bike instead of a car for short trips would reduce a person's travel emissions by 75 percent.
Community bike kitchens encourage a more sustainable way of traveling that makes cities more friendly, while reinforcing community values. They help build a community economy that prevents waste generation, since most parts are secondhand, fixed, or reused.
1.Which of the following is necessary to promote the use of bikes
A.Pleasure from riding a bike in daily life.
B.Traveling with small carbon footprint.
C.Better infrastructure and a cycling culture.
D.Services and help from the community.
2.What is the biggest advantage of bicycles for low-income people
A.Environmental-friendly. B.Affordable.
C.Beneficial to health. D.Convenient.
3.How is Paragraph 3 developed
A.By providing figures.
B.By making comparisons.
C.By listing examples.
D.By giving explanation.
4.Which is the most suitable title for the text
A.Bicycles Are the Lowest-carbon Way to Travel
B.Cycling Promotes Physical and Mental Health
C.Better Bike Infrastructure Encourages Better Riders
D.Bike Kitchens Are Helping Boost Cycling Culture
B
Ranjitsinh Disale was awarded the desired prize in recognition of his efforts at promoting girls' education and causing a quick-response or QR coded (二维码) textbook revolution in India.
He made it to the top 10 shortlist from a pool of over 12,000 entries from 140 countries. In his acceptance speech, he said, “Teachers are the real change-makers who are changing the lives of their students with a mixture of chalk and challenges. They always believe in giving and sharing. And, therefore, I am very pleased to announce that I will share 50 percent of the prize money equally among my fellow top 10 finalists to support their incredible work. I believe, together, we can change this world because sharing is growing.”
Disale, 31, arrived at the Zilla Parishad Primary School in Paritewadi village in Solapur district in 2009 when it was a dilapidated building, sandwiched between a cattle shed and a storeroom. His attempt to turn things around saw him not only translating the class textbooks for his students into their mother tongue but also embedding them with unique QR codes to give students access to audio poems, video lectures, stories and assignments. The impact was such that there was 100 percent attendance of girls at the school in the village.
The use of QR coded textbooks has greatly improved students' interest in learning, and students can scan the QR code on textbooks to obtain knowledge beyond textbooks, which has strongly stimulated students' motivation to learn. In some areas with backward education, textbooks are the only learning materials for students in most cases, so the use of QR coded textbooks provides students with a new way to learn more knowledge.
5.What helped Ranjitsinh Disale win the prize
A.Changing the lives of his boy students in his country.
B.Generating a QR coded textbook revolution in India.
C.Promoting all the girls' education at home and abroad.

When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪的).Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or the spine, doesn't just help us stand up straight.Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body.This information moves around as bursts of electricity travels between the brain and the other parts of the body.When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and the patients can't move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again.To walk again, the men had surgery.A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury.This “implant” contains sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through.The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles.The scientists controlled the implant from a tablet computer.
The patients' brains aren't sending “walking” messages to their legs.Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages.The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step.The patient then used the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way.Over time, the men were able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.
The solution isn't perfect.It's very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can't walk without the system.But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed people to begin to walk again in just hours.

What does Wi-Fi stand for
Long gone are the days of dial-up and waiting for your turn to use the computer. It's easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today. __8__
Wi-Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet, allowing data transfer between devices without wires. Many thing from your phone and laptop to your tablet and printer can use Wi-Fi, thanks to these radio waves. __9__ Two years later, a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, now the Wi-Fi Alliance), a global non-profit organization created to promote the new Wi-Fi standard.
No history explains what Wi-Fi stands for, because the phrase doesn't stand for anything. Wi-Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11, according to the Wi-Fi Alliance.___10__ So the Wi-Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name: Wi-Fi, according to one of the founding Alliance members.
___11__ The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保真)” is due to the Alliance. Some members didn't understand the branding or marketing meaning of Wi-Fi. They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name. So the Alliance agreed to include a tag line: The Standard for Wireless Fidelity. That's why so many people assume Wi-Fi stands for “Wireless Fidelity”, but the tag line came after the name.__12__ Don't add to the confusion and stop disassociating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (首字母缩略词).
A.That's a mouthful.
B.This is mostly thanks to Wi-Fi.
C.The name caused a misconception about Wi-Fi.
D.There is some debate over the question what Wi-Fi stands for.
E.In 1997, a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi-Fi standard.
F.Several years ago, a common standard of Wi-Fi was set up by several companies.
G.Later, the Alliance removed the tag, although the confusion it brought still lives on today.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Wi-Fi的历史、名称的由来并就这个名称所引发的一些争议进行了解释。
8.选B 根据第一段和第二段第一句可知,第一段说明Wi-Fi带给人们的便利,连接互联网比以前更容易应归功于Wi-Fi。故选B。
9.选E 根据空后一句可知,本句为说明推出了新的通用的Wi-Fi标准。故选E。
10.选A 根据空后一句可知,因为上文提出的名字过于拗口,因此Wi-Fi联盟想出了一个更简短的名称。故选A。
11.选D 根据空后一句可推知,对于Wi-Fi代表什么有一些不一致的意见,存在一些争议。故选D。
12.选G 根据空后一句可推知,为了避免造成混乱,联盟去掉了这句广告语,但它带来的困惑至今仍然存在。故选G。

My family traveled by the air today. We have planned to sit together on the plane. As expecting, we were happily seated closely to each other. Suddenly, we heard the flight attendant asking a women a few rows of seats behind us to change her seat, it was more convenient for a father with a baby. The lady was rather unhappily with this. So I immediately stood up and let the man and his baby took my seat instead. I moved to the front of the plane alone. My sister had plenty interesting stories about the baby. I had to sleep all the way, and I still felt happy because I did something meaningful for the family.

When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪的).Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or the spine, doesn't just help us stand up straight.Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body.This information moves around as bursts of electricity travels between the brain and the other parts of the body.When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and the patients can't move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again.To walk again, the men had surgery.A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury.This “implant” contains sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through.The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles.The scientists controlled the implant from a tablet computer.
