a new drone(无人驾驶飞机) delivery service to get “urgently needed goods,”such as life-saving medicines,to certain remote locations.The companys plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist,an island in Germanys North Sea,where more traditional delivery options(such as ferries or trains) arent always available.The drone service is a continuation of DHLs “parcelcopter research project,”which was launched in December 2013.But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden(初次的) flight,DHL officials said in a statement.For one thing,theyve been improved to undergo the high winds and rain that they may face over the North Sea.For another,the parcelcopter 2.0 can reach altitudes of 164 feet and can fly as fast as 40 miles per hour.The drone is also capable of flying for extended periods of timeabout 45 minutes before needing to be rechargedenabling it to make the roughly 7.5-mile journey to Juist.The drone can carry loads of up to 2.6 pounds(1.2 kilograms).The drone itself weighs 11 pounds(5kg).Thanks to a new autopilot feature,the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will be completely automated,even during takeoff and landing.However,drone pilots will be standing by at a mobile ground station in Norddeich,on the coast of mainland Germany,just in case something goes wrong.Once the drones land at Juist,the parcels will be delivered to their recipients(收件人) by a human courier(急件递送者).For now,the company will be using the drones,only when other delivery options arent available,and no plans are currently in the works to incorporate the parcelcopters into normal day-to-day deliveries,according to company officials.1.To meet what requirement will DHL probably use the drones?A.A ton of life

Travelers must take a plane or boat from major cities in northern Brazil to get there”可知，Baia do Sancho比较难到达，所以选D。2C考查细节理解。根据第六段中的“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，与题干的“enjoy the beauty of the sinking sun”所表达的意思相一致，所以选C。3B考查细节理解。根据第七段句子“It has a fun，laidback restaurant for those who wish to eat and drink”可知，在Playa Paraiso能够享用令人放松的晚餐，所以选B。.七选五阅读A laugh track,sometimes called canned laughter,is a collection of pre-recorded audience laughter and applause sounds added to television programs during post-production.The main purpose of the track is to trigger(激发) a response from home viewers who may not understand all of the intended humour when watching a taped sitcom(situation comedy).1Therefore,canned laughter causes natural reactions to comedies.2The producers of the Hank McCune Show added canned laughter after the shows 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(装置) containing 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.3During the 1970s,many sitcoms chose to get rid of the practice altogether or mix live audience reactions 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 original Laff Box.5Most 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 to 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.G.In addition to the original laughter and applause,there are tracks for foreign audiences and childrens shows.书面表达(2017安徽“皖南八校”第二次联考)假如你是学生会主席李华,为了让外国人了解中国传统文化,学生会将进行“唐诗吟诵大赛”(Tang Poetry Recitation Contest),特邀请学校国际部学生参加,请你根据提示写一则通知。主要内容包括:1.大赛目的和意义;2.主办方:校学生会。时间:12月30日。地点:校报告厅(assembly hall);3.范围:唐诗三百首(Three Hundred Tang Poems)。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文流畅。NoticeDo you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?考点规范练(必修1Unit 4)【短文语法填空】.A【解题导语】本文是说明文。德国DHL公司采用无人机运送急需物品。1.B细节理解题。由第二段开头的“The companys plan is to use small,parcel-carrying drones to deliver medicines and emergency supplies to Juist.”可知。2.D段落大意题。由第三段开头的“But the DHL drones have changed significantly since their maiden flight.”及下文的介绍可知,该段主要介绍了该公司针对最初的无人机所做的改进。3.D细节理解题。由第四段中的“.the maiden flights of the new and improved drones will be completely automated,even during takeoff and landing.”可知,新的无人机在整个飞行过程中是全自动的。4.B推理判断题。由最后一段中的“For now,the company will be using the drones,only when.day-to-day deliveries.”可推断,短期内无人机不会被广泛使用。B.【解题导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了罐头笑声。1.B根据本空下一句内容可知,罐头笑声能引发人们对喜剧的自然反应笑,这是因为人们“相信,笑声能产生笑声”。2.C根据本段中的“Until that time.no canned laughter at all.”可推知,“20世纪50年代”,Hank McCune Show的制作人在后期制作时加入了罐头笑声,这是“已知对罐头笑声的首次使用”。3.F根据本段内容可知,查理道格拉斯在1953年发明了“笑箱”,传言他从不同喜剧节目的录音录像中搜集笑声,“如果这是真的,那么现代情景喜剧中观众的反应实际上是很多年前被录下来的”。4.A根据本句上下句内容可知,在现场观众面前拍摄是“有问题的”,因为现场观众不能总是提供可以用的反应,尤其是在看了一整天的重新拍摄以后。5.G根据本空上一句中的an improved digital version可推测,“笑箱”升级后“除了原来的笑声和掌声,还有为外国观众和儿童剧的录音”。.NoticeDo you want to have a further knowledge of Chinese culture?Here comes your opportunity:the Student Union will organize a Tang Poetry Recitation Contest.Id like to share with you some details.As scheduled,the contest is to be held on Dec 30th.You are supposed to get prepared before the contest.Above all,its recommended that you should read Three Hundred Tang Poems,and learn to appreciate the beauty of ancient Chinese culture.Whoever feels interested and has a passion for Chinese culture,please sign up for the contest as soon as possible.If you want to attend,please come to the school assembly hall.Dont miss the chance of being a winner,and some appealing prize is eagerly waiting for you.Dont hesitate to take part!Im sure you will benefit a lot and your Chinese will gain much progress. 8
