7.The giant vending machine(自动售货机)is a new village shopVillagers have long been used to facing a drive when they run out of basic supplies.However,help is now nearer at hand in the form of the country's first automatic push-button shop.Now residents in the Derbyshire village of Clifton can buy groceries around the clock after the huge vending was installed outside a pub in the village this week.
Peter Fox,who is (33)an electrical engineer,spent two and a half years working on the project.The machine (34)is equipped (equip) with security cameras and alarms,and looks like a mini shop with a brick front,a grey roof and a display window.
Mr.Fox said he hoped his invention,(35)which is set to be installed in other villages in the area over the coming months,will mark a return to convenience shopping for rural communities.
He said:"I had this idea a few years ago but I couldn't find a manufacturer who could deliver what I wanted,so I did it by (36)myself.The result is what amounts to a huge outdoor vending machine.Yet I think the term automatic shop is far (37)more appropriate (appropriate)."
In recent years,the commercial pressure from supermarket chains (38)has forced (force) village shops across the country to close.In 2010,it was estimated that about 400village shops closed,(39)urging (urge) the local government to give financial support to struggling shops or set-up new community stores.
Hundreds of communities have since stepped in and opened up their own volunteer-run shops,but Mr.Fox hopes his new invention will offer a solution (40)to those villages without a local shop.
分析 在英国科里弗顿的德比郡村庄(the Derbyshire village of Clifton )以前人们日常用品用完之后往往要驱车到很远的地方去购买,一个电力工程师花了两年半的时间从事一项利民的发明项目,在这个没有商店的村子安装自动售货机,想给没有商店的村子提供一个解决的方法,以缓解当地居民购物不方便的现状.
解答 33.an 34.is equipped 35.which 36.myself 37.more appropriate 38.has forced 39.urging 40.to
33:an.考查冠词的用法.一个电力工程师花了两年半的时间从事这个项目.这里考查冠词,泛指"一个电力工程师,用不定冠词,electrical是元音音素[?]开头的单词
,所以用an.
34:is equipped.考查谓语动词的搭配.这个机器配备有安全摄像机和警报.考查词组"配备有…"be equipped with,因为主语是单数,所以用 is equipped
35:which.考查定语从句.这句话用了非限制性定语从句,先行词是invention,定语从句中缺少主语用which引导定语从句.
36:myself.考查反身代词.根据上文的句子:可知没有生产商愿意将他的想法生产出来,所以他就自己做了.考查词组by oneself"独自",填myself.
37:more appropriate.考查形容词的比较级.我想用"自动商店"这个名字更合适.Far后面接形容词的比较级:more appropriate
38:has forced.考查谓语动词的用法.近几年,来自超市连锁店的压力已经迫使乡村商店关门,实际上recent years,和现在完成时连用,因为主语是pressure所以谓语是单数:has forced
39:urging.考查非谓语动词的用法.估计有400家乡村商店关闭了,强烈要求政府提供经济支持给这些濒临倒闭的商店或是建立新的社区商店.这里用现在分词做状语:urging.
40:to.考查介词的搭配.Fox先生希望这个新的发明给没有商店的村子提供一个解决的方法.使用词组offer sth to sb,所以填to.
