15、lometers off Brazil's coast.Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there.And no more than 420 visitors can be on the island at one time. 2．Grace Bay，Turks and Caicos While Baia do Sancho is difficult to get to，TripAdvisor's second-ranked beach could not be

16、much easier for tourists to reach. This beach has impossibly clean and clear waters and pure white sand.Its calm waters make it extremely safe for swimming，snorkeling，or simply floating.Once on land，many visitors enjoy walking—barefoot—for several kilometers on the soft，warm sand. 3．Eagle Beach，Ar

17、uba To get to the third-best beach，we head south to the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba.Like Grace Bay，Eagle Beach has clear，calm waters and soft white sand.

21、d. D．Try different water sports. 【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。美國一家旅游網(wǎng)站介紹了四個年度世界排名前四的海灘。 【難句分析】People come here for the sugar-like sand and calm waters filled with colorful wildlife. 分析：這是一個復(fù)雜的簡單句。過去分詞短語filled with colorful wildlife作waters的后置定語。 譯文：人們?yōu)榱讼裆疤且粯拥纳匙雍统錆M豐富多彩的野生動植物的平靜的水域而來到這里。 1．D　考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞“Bai

22、a do Sancho”及第二段中的“But getting to Baia do Sancho is not so easy... Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知，Baia do Sancho比較難到達(dá)，所以選D。 2．C　考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“Eagle Beach may be best known，however, for its dramatic sunsets”可知，Eagle Beach有令人印象深刻的日落，與題干的“enjo

23、y the beauty of the sinking sun”所表達(dá)的意思相一致，所以選C。 3．B　考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第七段句子“It has a fun，laid-back restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知，在Playa Paraiso能夠享用令人放松的晚餐，所以選B。 Ⅱ.七選五閱讀 A laugh track,sometimes called canned laughter,is a collection of pre-recorded audience laughter and applause sound

24、s added to television programs during post-production.The main purpose of the track is to trigger(激發(fā)) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a taped sitcom(situation comedy).　1　Therefore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.? 　2　

25、The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after the show’s taping.Until that time,other radio and television comedies used a live studio audience or no canned laughter at all.In 1953,a sound engineer named Charley Douglass invented the Laff Box,a small electronic device(裝置) contain

26、ing numerous sounds of recorded laughter and applause.It is said that Charley Douglass selected almost all of his laugh track material from in-studio recordings of several different comedy shows.　3　? During the 1970s,many sitcoms chose to get rid of the practice altogether or mix live audience reac

27、tions with the canned laughter.Filming a show in front of a live audience became a symbol of honour.　4　 Live audiences did not always provide a usable response,especially after a long day of retakes.? Today,the same company created by Charley Douglass offers an improved digital version of the origi

28、nal Laff Box.　5　Most sitcoms produced today are still recorded in front of a live audience,but a more subtle laugh track can be used to improve weak responses.? A.However,there was a problem. B.The belief is that laughter creates laughter. C.The first known use of a recorded laugh track is said t

29、o be in 1950. D.The effective use of canned laughter is considered more of an art than a science. E.Douglass recorded different styles of laughter and applause without the sound of dialogue. F.If this is true,audience reactions in modern sitcoms may have actually been recorded several years ago.

30、 G.In addition to the original laughter and applause,there are tracks for foreign audiences and children’s shows. Ⅲ.書面表達(dá) (2017·安徽“皖南八?！钡诙温?lián)考) 假如你是學(xué)生會主席李華,為了讓外國人了解中國傳統(tǒng)文化,學(xué)生會將進(jìn)行“唐詩吟誦大賽”(Tang Poetry Recitation Contest),特邀請學(xué)校國際部學(xué)生參加,請你根據(jù)提示寫一則通知。 主要內(nèi)容包括: 1.大賽目的和意義; 2.主辦方:校學(xué)生會。時間:12月30日。地點:校報告廳(

31、assembly hall); 3.范圍:唐詩三百首(Three Hundred Tang Poems)。 注意:1.詞數(shù)100左右; 2.可以適當(dāng)增加細(xì)節(jié),以使行文流暢。 Notice Do you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?? ? ? ? ? ? ? 考點規(guī)范練(必修1　Unit 4) 【短文語法填空】 Ⅰ. A【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。德國DHL公司采用無人機(jī)運送急需物品。 1.B　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段開頭的“The company’s plan is t

32、o use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist...”可知。 2.D　段落大意題。由第三段開頭的“But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden flight...”及下文的介紹可知,該段主要介紹了該公司針對最初的無人機(jī)所做的改進(jìn)。 3.D　細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第四段中的“...the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will b

33、e completely automated,even during takeoff and landing.”可知,新的無人機(jī)在整個飛行過程中是全自動的。 4.B　推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“For now,the company will be using the drones,only when...day-to-day deliveries...”可推斷,短期內(nèi)無人機(jī)不會被廣泛使用。 B Ⅱ.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文是說明文。文章介紹了罐頭笑聲。 1.B　根據(jù)本空下一句內(nèi)容可知,罐頭笑聲能引發(fā)人們對喜劇的自然反應(yīng)——笑,這是因為人們“相信,笑聲能產(chǎn)生笑聲”。 2.C　根據(jù)本段

34、中的“Until that time...no canned laughter at all.”可推知,“20世紀(jì)50年代”,Hank McCune Show的制作人在后期制作時加入了罐頭笑聲,這是“已知對罐頭笑聲的首次使用”。 3.F　根據(jù)本段內(nèi)容可知,查理·道格拉斯在1953年發(fā)明了“笑箱”,傳言他從不同喜劇節(jié)目的錄音錄像中搜集笑聲,“如果這是真的,那么現(xiàn)代情景喜劇中觀眾的反應(yīng)實際上是很多年前被錄下來的”。 4.A　根據(jù)本句上下句內(nèi)容可知,在現(xiàn)場觀眾面前拍攝是“有問題的”,因為現(xiàn)場觀眾不能總是提供可以用的反應(yīng),尤其是在看了一整天的重新拍攝以后。 5.G　根據(jù)本空上一句中的an imp

35、roved digital version可推測,“笑箱”升級后“除了原來的笑聲和掌聲,還有為外國觀眾和兒童劇的錄音”。 Ⅲ.Notice Do you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?Here comes your opportunity:the Student Union will organize a Tang Poetry Recitation Contest.I’d like to share with you some details.?
