单元总结提升 ?Unit 3 Computers Unit 3 │ Computers单元话题导入 导读：奥斯卡获奖影片《她》讲述了发生在未来的一段人机之恋。该片再次引发人们对人工智能的热议，有关学者也表示，不久的将来，片中情节便会成为现实。
Computers with a heart
Her, a movie written and directed by the US director Spike Jonze, won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. It explores the romantic relationship between a man and his computer's operating system.Unit 3 │ Computers The story takes place in the near future where virtual assistants(虚拟助手)are a common aspect of daily life. One day, Theodore, the protagonist, bought a new-generation operating system. The system, which calls herself Samantha, is on Theodore's computer and his smart phone. He carries the latter around in his shirt pocket so that Samantha's camera eye can watch the world.
Over time, Samantha learns and grows, discovering her own needs and desires and forming her own personality. Before long, Theodore is introducing her to others as his girlfriend.Unit 3 │ Computers The movie has captured people's imagination. Can consciousness(意识) exist without a blood-and-flesh physical entity(实体)? Will Samantha-like artificial intelligence(AI) with human emotions be a reality some day?
Ray Kurzweil, the world's leading AI visionary and Google's director of engineering, predicts we could have Samantha-like girlfriends or boyfriends by 2029.
Kurzweil made the idea of “the Singularity” popular— the point in the future when humans connect with machines. When that time comes, machines will be so intelligent that they will make technology advance in a way we humans won't be able to understand unless we connect our brains to machines.Unit 3 │ ComputersTask: Judge the following statements true(T)or false(F)．
1. The film, Her, is about romantic love between a man and his computer's operating system.( )

此句为并列句，for为并列连词，表原因，引导分句。for作为并列连词时所引导的分句对前面所述情况作补充说明，一般不置于句首，且与其前一分句用逗号隔开。because也表原因，与主句是因果关系，直接说明其原因，语气最强烈，也最常用，能回答why引导的问句；可用强调句型对其强调。since表示原因时，意为“既然”，相当于now that，与主句有因果关系，说明理由，表示大家都知道的原因。Period Two│课堂互动探究 【活学活用】

1．表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响与结果。当动词为短暂动词时，可与already或yet连用，但不能与for或since引导的表示一段时间的状语连用。如：
I'm sorry，but the letters haven't been typed yet.
很抱歉，这些信件还没有被打印出来。(结果是现在还拿不到这些信件)
The work has already been finished.

非延续性动词，如borrow，finish，begin，start，buy，marry，open，join等构成的现在完成时的被动语态不能与for或since引导的表示一段时间的状语连用，但可与already或yet连用。如：
No books have been bought since last week.
自上周以来，没有人来买过书。
误：How long has this book been bought?
正：How long ago was this book bought?
这本书买了多久了？Period Three │语法归纳【温馨提示】
这类动词的否定式可表示动作的持续过程，具有持续性，因而可与since或for构成的时间状语连用。如：
The book has not been borrowed since last month.
自上个月以来这本书就没有被借过。
5．动词短语是一个不可分割的整体，在被动结构中要保持完整，不可省略动词短语中的介词或副词。如：
No news has been heard about him since he left his hometown.
自从他离开家乡，就没有关于他的任何消息传来。【活学活用】

【写作点拨】
一、想象作文的分类
想象作文可分为两类：一类是写自己的设想、追求、愿望、梦境等，这类作文往往与科幻结合在一起；另一类是童话，运用“拟人”手法，把各种动植物、物品想象成“人”，通过有趣的故事，告诉读者某个道理。Period Four │单元话题写作二、写好想象作文要做到以下几点：
1. 领悟要求。想象作文一般属于开放性作文，没有内容要点的限制，只给出总体的写作要求，留给作者很大的自由发挥空间。写作时，需要有创造性思维和丰富的想象力。想象是一种特殊的思维形式，你需要放飞想象的翅膀，描绘出你理想中的事物的形象。
2. 确定时态。通常用一般现在时。
3. 关于结构和内容。没有固定的结构，行文不拘一格，内容也不受限制，可以描写事物的外貌、行为或特征，还可以写你喜欢它的理由。【词句模板】
1．引入：首先引出你要写的事物。
…plays a very important role in our daily life.
…is of great importance/help/use in our daily life.

导读：人口老龄化成为许多国家发展面临的大问题，这一问题在发达国家尤显严重。劳动力不足又该如何解决呢？日本一智囊团指出，到2025年，机器人将填补日本350万个劳动力空缺，这将有利于缓解该国因人口减少而造成的劳动力不足的问题。单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读Robots seen doing work of 3.5 million people in Japan
Robots could fill the jobs of 3.5 million people in Japan by 2025, a think tank says, helping to avoid worker shortages as the country's population shrinks(减少)．
Japan will face a 16-per-cent fall in the size of its workforce by 2030 while the number of the elderly will increase rapidly, the government estimates(估计), raising worries about who will do the work in a country unwilling to think about large-scale immigration.单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读 The think tank, the Machine Industry Memorial Foundation, says robots could help fill the gaps.①Rather than each robot replacing one person, the foundation said in a report that robots could make time for people to focus on more important things. Japan could save 2.1 trillion yen(10.4 billion pounds) of elderly insurance payments in 2025 by using robots that monitor(监控) the health of older people, so they don't have to rely on human nursing care, the foundation said in its report. ②Caregivers would save more than an hour a day if robots helped look after children, older people and do some housework. Robotic duties could include reading books out loud and helping bathe the elderly.单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读 Seniors are pushing back their retirement until they are 65 years old, day care centres are being built so that more women can work during the day, and there is a move to increase the number of foreign labourers. But none of these can beat the shrinking workforce.
The current fertility rate(人口出生率) is 1.3 babies per woman, far below the level needed to keep the population, while the government estimates that 40 per cent of the population will be over 65 by 2055, raising concerns about who will look after the greying population. ③The think tank says changes are still needed for robots to have a strong influence on the workforce. There's the expensive price tag and the functions of the robots still needed to improve, and then there are the mindsets of people. People need to have the will to use the robots.单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读【典句赏析】
①Rather than each robot replacing one person, the foundation said in a report that robots could make time for people to focus on more important things.
句意：该机构在一份报告中称，并不是一个机器人代替一个人，而是机器人能帮人们腾出时间去关注更重要的事情。
赏析：rather than意为“是……而不是……；与其……不如……”，通常用来连接两个并列成分，它连接的并列成分可以是名词、代词、形容词、介词(短语)、动名词、分句、不定式、动词等。又如：Rather than allow the vegetables to go bad, he sold them at half price. 不是让蔬菜烂掉，他把它们以半价卖掉了。单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读②Caregivers would save more than an hour a day if robots helped look after children, older people and do some housework.
句意：如果机器人帮助照顾老人小孩以及做一些家务，那么每天家庭护理员可以节省一个多小时的时间。
赏析：该句为if引导的虚拟条件句，表示不能实现或纯假想的情况，可以对过去、现在或将来进行假设。又如：If I were you，I would choose to work in a small town.如果我是你，我会选择在小城镇工作。(事实上我不是你)单元总结提升 │延伸拓展阅读③The think tank says changes are still needed for robots to have a strong influence on the workforce.
句意：智囊团说要让机器人发挥强大的劳动力作用，还需对它们进行改造。

Ⅳ.阅读理解
The first robots were invented in the 1920s.Robots have appeared in Hollywood films such as RoboCop and The Terminator.The robots in these films are stronger, faster and more intelligent than people.
In real life, robots are mainly used in factories.They do many different jobs.Usually these jobs are too dangerous, difficult or boring for humans.
Robots also help disabled people and people who cannot look after themselves.For example, scientists are making a robot to help blind people.Nowadays many blind people have a dog to help them.This dog is called a guide dog.In the future, robot dogs might take the place of these guide dogs.
One robot guide dog is called Meldog.It has wheels.It usually “walks” in front of its owner.It is very clever.It knows the speed of its owner's walk.Meldog talks to its owner by radio.The owner wears a special belt.This belt sends instructions to the owner from Meldog such as “Stop here”， “Turn left” and “Turn right”．
In the United States, another type of robot helps disabled workers.This robot, called Kilroy, helps disabled computer operators.The robot hears the sound of its owner's voice.It follows instructions such as “Turn the page” and “Make a cup of coffee”．This robot will bring its owner tissue paper when he or she sneezes!
Robots are also used in American hospitals.They can do simple jobs.For example, they shave patients and brush their teeth and take meals from the kitchen to the patients' rooms.They never get lost because they have a map of the hospital in their computer memory.

Language is a way to communicate with each other.We started to learn language when we were born.However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants(移民) are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language.Also, the second generation is losing their identity.Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States.Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful.
For example, my aunt, who has been living in Chicago for fifteen years, has three children and they were all born in the States.The eighteen-year-old daughter speaks English as a native language and she speaks Korean very well too.She has no problem talking with her parents, but she still doesn't understand Korean jokes, and they are sometimes misunderstandings.The second daughter is fourteen years old, and she doesn't want to speak Korean.My aunt often gets upset with her because she is very Americanized and they cannot understand each other.Even when my aunt punishes her, this daughter does not understand what my aunt is talking about.
My aunt taught Korean to her children not in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity(身份)．Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents' country, they will probably feel different from other people there, too.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons.Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage(传统) by teaching them the parents' language.This is very important, not only for the harmony(和谐) of the family, but also in helping the second generation establish their identity.
1．What do you think this article is about?
A．Learning a second language.
B．Immigrants who become homesick in the US.
C．Language and its effect on the identity of immigrants.
D．Schools attended by immigrants in the US.
2．Which of the following is NOT true about the 18-year-old daughter?
A．She was born in the US.
B．She speaks only English very well but her Korean is poor.
C．She gets along well with her parents.
D．She doesn't understand Korean jokes well.
3．To whom does the mother speak Korean?
A．Her oldest daughter only.
B．All of her children.
C．Her two daughters only.
D．Only to her son.
4．Why did the author's aunt try to teach her children to speak Korean?
A．To help them succeed in the US.
B．To help them find a good job.
C．To help them establish a Korean identity.
D．To help her improve her Korean language skills.

The average American child spends three to five hours a day watching TV.In 1961, the average child began to watch television at age three; however, today it is nine months.Yet, most parents think that television has bad influence on their children.For example, in the early 1970s, my parents believed that my bad eyesight was the result of sitting too close to the screen, and they therefore made my stay at least six feet from it.Today, most people have no such worry, but many new ridiculous(荒谬的) sayings have appeared：
*TV makes kids stupid.Many children watch more educational programmes when they are pre-schoolers.When they grow up, they can read more books and have much better ideas to solve difficult problems than other children.
*TV makes kids violent.The real story is not so simple.Hundreds of studies show that watching violence on TV makes children more aggressive (好斗的)．But a study of over 5，000 children also finds that some positive programmes make children kinder.The problem is that kids are increasingly watching shows with violence instead of those suitable for their age.
*Sitting around watching TV makes kids overweight.An experiment finds that when children watch less television, they do lose extra weight; however, reducing their television time does not make them more active.The real problem lies in snacking (吃零食)，a widespread habit for kids, and junk food advertisements.
*TV helps kids get to sleep.The opposite is true.The more television children watch, the more likely they are to have irregular sleep and nap(小睡) patterns.Allowing kids to watch television is part of the problem, not the solution.
1．Which one is the advantage of educational TV programmes?
A．They will make children solve difficult problems better than others.
B．They will improve children's ability to get along with others.
C．They are likely to make children more aggressive.
D．They will make sure of children's success in the future.
2．Why are children spending much time watching TV likely to be fat?
A．Watching TV makes children lazy and inactive.
B．Children are attracted by the food advertisements on TV.
C．Watching TV doesn't burn up as much fat as doing sports.
D．Children like to snack while watching TV.
3．What influence does watching TV have on a child's sleep?
A．Children are likely to sleep deeper after watching TV.
B．Children's sleep time will be greatly reduced.
C．It will make children form a bad habit of sleeping.
D．It will make children sleep easier.
4．What is the purpose of this text?
A．To increase people's knowledge of watching TV.
B．To warn parents of the disadvantages of watching TV.
C．To explain the bad influences that watching TV has on children.
D．To correct parents' wrong ideas of television's effect on children.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
Although his 1-year-old smartphone still works perfectly, Li Jijia already feels the need to replace it.
“There are many better ones available now.It's time to upgrade(更新) my phone.”
Li's impatience is shared by many.Shortly after the season when new products are released, many consumers feel the urge to upgrade their electronic equipment, even though the ones they have still work just fine.
As consumers' minds are occupied by Apple's newly released products and debate whether the Google tablet is better than the new Amazon Kindle, it might be time to take a step back and ask: “Do we really need the latest upgrades？”
According to Donald Norman, an American author, “planned obsolescence (淘汰)” is the trick behind the upgrading culture of today's consumer electronics industry.
Electronics producers strategically release new upgrades periodically, both for hardware and software, so that customers on every level feel the need to buy the newest version.
“This is an old-time trick—they're not inventing anything new，” Norman said.“This is a wasteful system through which companies—many of them producing personal electronics—release poor-quality products simply because they know that, in six months or a year, they'll put out a new one.”
But the new psychology of consumers is part of this system, as Norman admitted，“We now want something new, something pretty, the next shiny thing.” In its most recent year, Apple's profit margin was more than 21 per cent.At Hewlett-Packard, the world's biggest PC maker, it was only 7 per cent.
Apple's annual upgrades of its products create sales of millions of units as owners of one year's MacBook or iPhone line up to buy the newest version, even when the changes are slight.
As to Li Jijia, the need for upgrading his smartphone comes mainly from friends and classmates.When they are switching to the latest equipment, he worries about feeling left out.
“Some games require better hardware to run, ”said Li.“If you don't join in, you lose part of the connection to your friends.”
1．What's the author's attitude towards people's desire for new products?
A．Supportive. B．Happy.
C．Critical. D．Unclear.
2．Why is Apple Company interested in producing the latest version of its product?
A．To provide customers with better service.
B．To defeat other competitors like Hewlett-Packard.
C．To establish a favourable image of itself among its customers.
D．To make huge profits out of its business.
3．How do the electronics companies successfully promote their latest products?
A．They make full use of the “planned obsolescence” strategy.
B．They make a fool of customers by recycling their old products.
C．They control the customers' way of thinking while shopping.
D．They invent new products to attract the youth like Li Jijia.
4．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that Li Jijia feels the need to replace his smartphone as a result of________．
A．new psychology
B．pressure from friends and classmates
C．lifestyle
D．friends' expectation

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10～15 minutes a day, and then other teachers basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day—which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning handwriting that way—by copying letters over and over again. Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency—writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草体字), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 per cent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
1．We can learn that________ from Paragraph 1.
A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job
B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely
2．Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?
A. The students are taught by practising a long period.
B. The letters are repeated many times.
C. Handwriting includes two skills.
D. To write in cursive is taught first.
3．The best title for the passage is “________”．
A. How to improve handwriting in school
B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting
C. Handwriting involves two skills
D. Handwriting lessons are on the way out
4．The author's attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________．
A. negative B. objective C. critical D. optimistic
B
As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more widespread among university students. Almost all their homework and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly, problems appear.
“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I'm familiar with it.”
“I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and quick to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said, “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only have their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪). Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
5．Which of the following statements of the advantages of handwriting is NOT true?
A．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.
B．Handwriting can impress people well and build up one's self-confidence.
C．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting.
6．The underlined expression “taking stock in”(in Paragraph 4) probably means “________”.
A．getting bored with B．getting curious about
C．becoming crazy about D．getting dependent on
7．We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．writing by hand will give way to typing by computer one day
B．more and more students will give up writing on a computer
C．more and more students will pay attention to handwriting
D．the typed article better expresses one's emotion and quality
C
Researchers are placing robotic dogs in the homes of lonely old people to determine whether they can improve the quality of life for humans. Alan Beck, an expert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old people's depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激)，” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.”
In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before placing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner.
“I talk to him all the time, and he responds to my voice，” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When I'm watching TV, he'll stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”
The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.
“At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog because it was metal and not furry，” Beck says. “But it's amazing how quickly we have given up that belief.”
“Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more valuable health helper. They will record their masters' blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds.”
8．The purpose of Beck and Edwards' study is to ________.
A．understand human-animal relationship
B．find the causes of old people's loneliness
C．make lonely old people's life better
D．promote the animal-assisted research
9．In the research, the old people are asked to ________.
A．note the activities of AIBOs
B．keep AIBOs at home for 12 weeks
C．analyze the collected information
D．record their feelings and activities
10．What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs?
A．It can watch TV with its owner.
B．It can help the disabled people.
C．It responds to all the human orders.
D．It is easier to keep at home.
11．The author seems to suggest that the future robotic dogs may ________.
A．keep old people active B．cure certain diseases
C．change people's beliefs D．look more like real dogs
D
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the Net.”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than three hours during one time on the Net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms than with my ‘real-life’ friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug use. People lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teenagers because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the Net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms：
●You do not go to important family activities or you do not do school work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
●You can't wait for your next online time.
●You plan to spend a short time online, but then you spend several hours.
●You go out with your friends less and less.
12．What does the beginning of the passage tell us?
A. How to become an Internet addict.
B. What an Internet addict usually does.
C. Where to find an Internet addict.
D. Why to write this passage.
13．Why do people worry about the teenagers?
A. The teenagers are wasting too much money.
B. They used to work on the Internet.
C. The playing field of the teenagers will disappear.
D. More and more of the teenagers will become addicted to the Internet.
14．The example in the passage shows that ________．
A. Internet problems are more serious among college students
B. Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C. some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted
D. the police often help to find those Internet addicts
15．What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage?
A. Don't be addicted to the Internet.
B. Go to family activities more often.
C. Do things as you have planned.
D. Stay with your parents as often as possible.

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK. In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world. OK means all right or acceptable. It expresses agreement or approval.
__16__Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw(乔克托语). The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word “okay”. Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century.
But many people doubt this. Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s. He said the word began being used in the 1830s. __17__ Some foreign-born people wrote “all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”， and used the letters OK. Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago. They say he put the first letters of his name—O and K—on each object people gave him to send on the train.
__18__The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840. They called their group the OK club. The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born—Old Kinderhook, New York.
Then there is the expression A-OK. It is a space-age expression. It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard. He was the first American to be launched into space. His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned. Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” __19__One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received.
There are also funny ways to say okay. __20__These expressions were first used in the 1930s. Today, a character on the American television series The Simpsons says it another way. He says okely-doke.
A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke.
B．Still others say a political organization invented the word.
C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on.
D．But many experts don't agree on what the expression means.
E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.
F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”．
G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age.

We looked at him, __24__. Wasn't he going to teach us?

Mr Stevens __27__， “You're smart kids. Open your books and get down to it. If you have any __28__ or any questions, raise your hand, and I'll help you.”
We opened our books. Mr Stevens helped anyone __29__ had questions. He would stop to teach all the students __30__ when we all had the same question. It was a __31__ method of teaching, but it was very useful.

参考答案
综合能力测评(三)
Ⅰ.第一节A
【文章大意】 文章介绍了在键盘普及的年代美国的书法教学的情况。
1．A 推理判断题。根据第一段中“90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.”可知，书法教学是基本的教学要求，故A项正确。根据“One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.”可知，很多老师不愿意教书法课，故B项错误；根据第一段的末句可知C项错误；根据全段判断，本段只是说键盘的普及使一些人认为书法渐渐过时了，故D项错误。
2．D 细节理解题。根据第二段可知，传统的书法教学会重复很多遍并且持续时间长，因此A、B两项内容正确。根据第三段第一句可知C项内容正确；根据最后一段第二句可知D项内容错误。
3．B 标题归纳题。作者叙述了美国书法教学的现状，没有发表自己的评论，故选择B。A项没有涉及，C项只是其中一部分内容，D项只是一部分人的观点。
4．B 观点态度题。根据全文的叙述可知，作者只是将美国书法教学的现状和不同人的观点呈现出来，并没有发表自己的见解，因此作者持客观的态度。
B
【文章大意】 在中国电脑越来越流行，但如果人们使用电脑太多，他们可能会忘记手写笔画。在北京，几乎所有的大学生们的作业都是在电脑上做的。这样做的好处和坏处是什么呢？为了鼓励学生手写，又采取了哪些措施呢？
5．B 细节理解题。倒数第二段“‘Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.’…”“‘And handwriting contains the writer's emotion(情绪)’….”“…‘Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality.’”分别对应选项A、C、D。故选B项。
6．D 词义猜测题。根据“…computers are being applied more and more often to modern education.”“When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character，thought I feel I'm familiar with it.”可知，电脑被应用于越来越多的现代教育中。当学生拿笔写字时，发现自己经常想不起来怎么去写，尽管觉得熟悉。由此可见长期依赖电脑就会这样。故选D项。
7．C 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To encourage students to handwrite，many primary schools…”可知，为了鼓励学生手写，许多小学和大学都采取了措施。由此可推断，越来越多的学生将关注书写。故选C项。
C
【文章大意】 本文介绍了关于机器狗对独居老人的生活是否能带来改善的一些研究报道。
8．C 细节理解题。从文中第一段“‘No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, challenged, or stimulated (刺激)…’”可知，没有人会认为一个老人会生活得更积极、有挑战力或者更刺激。根据“‘The problem is how we promote that, especially for those without friends or help.’…”可知，问题就是我们如何改善那种情况，尤其对于没有朋友或者无法获得帮助的老年人。故选C项。
9．D 细节理解题。从文中第二段的“These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activities before and after AIBO.”可知，这些老人将要记日记写下在AIBO来前和后的他们的感受和活动。故选D项。
10．D 细节理解题。从文中第四段的“Often the elderly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns.”可知，通常老人们是身体残疾的或不能照顾一个动物，比如遛它或者和它玩。一个机器狗不需锻炼和喂食。故选D项。
11．A 细节理解题。从文中最后一段的“…‘AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older people's minds’．”可知，AIBO有一天甚至可能有能刺激老年人头脑的游戏。故可以推测出，未来的机器狗可能能使老年人积极。故选A项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文。网瘾如同吸毒。研究表明有6%～10%的人上网成瘾，本文也介绍了上网成瘾的几个典型症状。
12．B 细节理解题。文章开始列出的四个句子虽然表面上以第一人称作主语，但实际上是在列出上网成瘾者通常的行为。
13．D 细节理解题。文中出现了“…people worry about the teenagers…”这个关键的定位信息，据此可以在该段第一句找到答案。C项是对“…because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them.”的曲解。
14．C 细节理解题。列举了一位大学生上网的事，他之所以连续好几天在网吧上网正是网瘾造成的。
15．A 细节理解题。文章最后以设问的形式引出了一些上网成瘾的症状，所列内容相当于是一种警示：上网别上瘾。
第二节
【文章大意】 文章主要介绍了“OK”一词的来源，专家们对此持有不同的观点。做题时需要注意段落大意和前后句的逻辑关系，还需要从文中寻找关键词。
16．E 根据下句“Some people say it came from the Native…”可知，这里说的是“OK”一词的出处，E项“然而，语言专家们对‘OK’一词的来源持有不同的意见”符合语境，故选E。
17．F 根据“Some foreign-born people wrote‘all correct’as‘o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t’”可知，另一种观点是“OK”是“all correct”的一种不同拼写方法，故选F。
18．B 根据“The organization supported…They called their group the OK club.”可知，这里说的是一个组织创造了“OK”一词，故选B。
19．G 根据“It is a space-age expression.”可知，本段前一部分介绍的是“OK”一词是随着太空时代而出现的，而最后一句说“OK”一词最早是在电话被发明的初期开始使用的。本段讲了两种不同的观点，G项起到了承上启下的作用，故选G。
20．A These expressions指代上句提到的短语，只有A项中提到了短语“okey-dokey”和“okey-doke”，故选A。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。新学期开始了，与以往不同的是，新的数学老师使用了一种特别的教学方法。老师让学生自学，遇到不会的问题时举手提问。这种方法培养了作者的探索精神，帮助作者成为班里的优秀学生之一。

Ⅴ.One possible version：
Students'_Union_has_decided_to_set_up_Study_BBS_of_our_own. All of us will benefit a lot from it. It offers us chances to communicate with each other. We can exchange our learning and life experiences on it. We can share different cultures as well. What's more, it is a good place for us to make good friends. A life without a friend is a life without sunshine. Anyone who has difficulties with their study and daily life can ask for help on it. If you have any good suggestions to offer, you can lend a helping hand. Good advice on how to enrich our school life and how to develop our school is also welcome. Wish you to join in and fully express your ideas.
