练习册系列答案

For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2019 holiday season 59 percent of those shopping online were women.

“It shows how popular the Internet is becoming,” said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.

Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were responsible for some of the surprising increase in the online gift buying population this time around.

However, three-quarter of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2019. They worried about credit card security (信用卡安全), or just compared online prices with offline prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals.

“But even if shoppers don't buy online, websites are becoming promotion (促销) tools for stores,” said Dan Hess, vice president of Com Score Network Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.

“It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient (效率高的), more reliable and more comfortable.” Hess said.

【1】What can we know from the passage?

A.There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2019.

B.More women shopped online than men in 2019.

C.Most of the Internet users between the ages 19 and 29 were women.

D.People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.

【2】What does the underlined part “dashed off” probably mean?

A.Turned.B.Put off.

C.Hurried.D.Take off.

【3】According to Dan Hess, shopping online is ________.

A.unsafeB.convenient

C.a waste of moneyD.cheaper

【4】Where does the passage probably come from?

A.an introduction textbookB.a news coverage

C.an essay collectionD.brochure

【题目】 The Great Depression that followed the stock market crash of 1929 saw hundreds of thousands of Americans out of work. In the years of great fear and depression, a lot of American citizens looked desperately to the federal government for assistance. Of all the programs designed by President Roosevelt when he took office in 1932, few were more criticized---or had more lasting impact---than the Work Projects Administration, better known as the WPA.

The intention of the WPA, which functioned from 1935 to 1943, was to design and administer public works projects to help relieve unemployment. The majority of these projects involved historic or artistic attempts. The WPA’s Writers Project, for example, was responsible not only for such practical works as state guidebooks but also for the collection of historically valuable oral histories. Over 2,900 of these records were collected in 24 states. They provide an irreplaceable firsthand account of people’s diets, customs, celebrations, and political and religious beliefs at the time.

The artworks created through the Federal Arts Project are one of the WPA’s most lasting achievements. Out-of-work painters, both famous and unknown, created paintings that beautified schools, libraries, and government buildings, WPA photographers traveled across the country recording the hardships of life on small rural farms. When the United States entered World War Ⅱ in 1941, WPA artists were enlisted to produce posters supporting the war effort. Many WPA artworks, including hundreds of small drawings picturing scenes of everyday life, still exist today.

【1】When did the Work Projects Administration begin to work?

A.In1929.B.In1932.

C.In1935.D.In 1943.

【2】What can be inferred about the WPA?

A.It was made up of several components.

B.It was President Roosevelt’s favorite project.

C.It played an important role during World War Ⅱ.

D.It trained artists before sending them out to work.

【3】How does the author mainly develop this text?

A.By examples.B.By comparison.

C.Through a true story.D.Through a persuasive argument.

【4】What’s the main idea of the text?

A.President Roosevelt designed the WPA.

B.The WPA helped relieve unemployment.

C.WPA artists painted pictures in schools and libraries.

D.The WPA produced many valuable and lasting works.

【题目】 GPS has completely transformed how we get around. But other animals have long had their navigation (导航) systems built right in --- like ants and bees.

“We know their eyes are quite sensitive to polarized light (偏振光), and the sky has a particular pattern of polarized light, connected with the position of the sun.” says Barbara Webb, a bioroboticist at the University of Edinburgh. You can see polarized light firsthand if you take a pair of polarized sunglasses and spin them against the sky --- the light passing through the lenses changes. Webb says the insects have polarization like that built into flat sides of their compound eyes. “You can think of it as the equal of having a little polarization directional filter (滤镜) over them or lots of sunglasses pointed in different directions.”

But Webb was curious about whether there's really enough information in the sky to give insects an accurate sense of direction. So her team built a sensor modeled after a desert ant eye and put it under artificial light meant to simulate the sky. They then fed that sensor input into a model meant to copy the brains of desert ants and other insects with a sky compass. And they found that with the insects' natural sensing and processing equipment, they can likely sense compass direction down to just a couple degrees of error.

A system based on that of insects could someday be a cheap, low-energy alternative to GPS. “Insects have very tiny brains, a brain that's using hardly any energy. And yet they're still able to navigate better than we can with GPS, which is a huge system.” Webb is now working on building a robot that can, like the desert ant, use light to get its direction. Although after sundown, it may have to ask for directions.

【1】What make(s) it possible for ants and bees to sense the direction?

A.Flat eyes.B.Polarization.

C.A directional filter.D.Polarized sunglasses.

【2】Why did Webb and her team build a sensor?

A.To copy the brains of desert ants.

B.To model after the desert ant eye.

C.To satisfy their desire for answers.

D.To test an accurate sense of direction.

【3】What is the future navigation system supposed to do?

A.To save energy.B.To be a substitute for GPS.

C.To guide the blind.D.To help GPS work better.

【4】What is the main purpose of the passage?

A.To introduce an invention.

B.To praise a scientific achievement.

C.To present new scientific findings.

D.To encourage people to learn science.
