Unit 3 Life in the future
It's impossible to know the future.We can guess,but no one has actual knowledge of what's going to happen down the road.
But if you're someone who trusts your own feelings,you're more likely to accurately predict future events than people who don't trust their feelings as much.
That's the conclusion of a recent study done by researchers at Columbia Business School.
Through a series of eight studies they found that subjects who had a high amount of trust in their feelings were generally better able to predict things like the outcomes of presidential elections,football games,the winner of American Idol,and even the weather.
How is this possible,you ask?
The best explanation is known as the“privileged window” hypothesis. The gist is that when we rely on feelings to make a prediction,we're really summarizing and calling on everything we know about the subject in question.It's similar to what journalist Malcolm Gladwell wrote about in his best-selling book Blink that the more we know about something the greater our ability to make snap judgments and predictions without thinking too much.
Unlike Gladwell's theory,though,the recent study is less about snap decisions and more about consciously deciding to rely on feelings to make predictions.Do that,and you're more likely to be able to sense what may happen in the future.

[尝试翻译]
2.However,I lost sight of Wang Ping when we reached what looked like a large market because of too many carriages flying by in all directions.
[句式分析] 这是一个主从复合句。I lost sight of Wang Ping 为主句;when引导的是一个时间状语从句,在该从句中包含一个由 what 引导的宾语从句,what 在从句中作主语;flying by in all directions 为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰 carriages。
[尝试翻译]
答案:1.这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似,所不同的是,在你脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。
2.可是,当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时,由于很多来自四面八方的气垫车从身边飞过,我看不见王平了。
想象性作文
本单元的写作项目属于新课标中说明文或记叙文中的“想象性”作文。这类题目要求学生在头脑中创造出从未接触过的甚至根本不存在的新的形象。想象性写作允许自由想象、自主发挥的空间较大,因此需要灵活的思维能力和丰富的想象能力。要写好此类文章,应注意以下几点:
1.首先要确定写作主题。确定主题,明确写作中心,是写好文章的前提,想象性写作也不例外。因为想象虽然可以海阔天空,但总要围绕一个中心进行,这个中心就是主题。
2.想象美好,立意深刻。想象性作文必须要有一个“美好”的中心思想。如果只是瞎编一个热闹离奇的故事,就失去了想象的意义。
3.构思要巧妙,想象要合理。构思和想象是写好此类文章的关键,既要合乎逻辑,又要匠心独运,或启迪思维,或引人入胜。
4.列出写作提纲,合理安排顺序。通过合理想象列出写作素材,然后筛选确定;而后再根据写作对象的特点合理安排顺序。
5.前后一致,自圆其说。不管允许想象的空间有多大,都要做到符合逻辑,顺理成章,这一点对于写好此类文章尤其重要。
【典型句式】
1.Sometimes I dream about life in the future.
我有时梦想未来的生活。
2.Maybe in the future we can travel in space.

B组 能力提升
Ⅰ.阅读理解
阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。
(2019·全国卷Ⅰ)As data and identity theft becomes more and more common,the market is growing for biometric(生物测量)technologies—like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e?spaces.At present,these technologies are still expensive,though.
Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low?cost device(装置)that gets around this problem:a smart keyboard.This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节奏)with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key.The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the force of a user's typing and the time between key presses.These patterns are unique to each person.Thus,the keyboard can determine people's identities,and by extension,whether they should be given access to the computer it's connected to—regardless of whether someone gets the password right.
It also doesn't require a new type of technology that people aren't already familiar with.Everybody uses a keyboard and everybody types differently.
In a study describing the technology,the researchers had 100 volunteers type the word “touch” four times using the smart keyboard.Data collected from the device could be used to recognize different participants based on how they typed,with very low error rates.The researchers say that the keyboard should be pretty straightforward to commercialize and is mostly made of inexpensive,plastic?like parts.The team hopes to make it to market in the near future.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了一种用智能键盘进行身份识别的技术。
1.Why do the researchers develop the smart keyboard?
A.To reduce pressure on keys.
B.To improve accuracy in typing.
C.To replace the password system.
D.To cut the cost of e?space protection.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段的内容,尤其是第二句“At present,these technologies are still expensive,though”可知,现有的生物识别技术价格昂贵。根据第二段的第一句“Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low?cost device(装置)that gets around this problem:a smart keyboard”可知,同样能够保护私人电子空间的智能键盘成本较低,故选D。
答案:D
2.What makes the invention of the smart keyboard possible?
A.Computers are much easier to operate.
B.Fingerprint scanning techniques develop fast.
C.Typing patterns vary from person to person.
D.Data security measures are guaranteed.
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知,智能键盘能够准确地测量人们打字的节奏和力度,而打字模式因人而异,因此,智能键盘通过分析用户的打字模式进行身份识别,故选C。
答案:C
3.What do the researchers expect of the smart keyboard?
A.It'll be environment?friendly.
B.It'll reach consumers soon.
C.It'll be made of plastics.
D.It'll help speed up typing.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段的最后一句“The team hopes to make it to market in the near future”可知,该研究团队希望在不久的将来将智能键盘推向市场,故选B。
答案:B
4.Where is this text most likely from?
A.A diary. B.A guidebook.
