Unit 5 Meeting your ancestors一、阅读理解。Four years ago，we asked ourselves：What if we could create a shopping experience with no waiting in line and no checkout? Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go，where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required.We created the worlds most advanced shopping technology，so you never have to wait in line.With our“just walk out shopping” experience，simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store，take the products you want，and go！No lines，no checkout.Our checkoutfree shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in selfdriving cars：puter vision，sensor fusion，and deep learning.Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart.When youre done shopping，you can just leave the store.Shortly after，well charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt.We offer delicious readytoeat breakfast，lunch，dinner，and snack options made fresh every day by our onsite chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries.Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates.Youll find wellknown brands we love，plus special finds were excited to introduce to customers.For a quick homecooked dinner，pick up one of our chefdesigned Amazon Meal Kits，and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes.Our roughly 1,800squarefoot shopping space is conveniently pact(紧凑的)，so busy customers can get in and out fast.It is located at 2131,7th Ave，Seattle，WA，on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street.All you need is an Amazon account，a supported smartphone，and the free Amazon Go app.Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program，and will be open to the public soon.1From the passage，we can learn that Amazon Go _.Ais a checkoutfree storeBsells all kinds of goodsCis open to the publicDuses unknown technologies2What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?AWhen Amazon Go charges.BHow Amazon Go works.CWhere Amazon Go lies.DWhat Amazon Go sells.3Customers pay for the products from Amazon Go by _.Apaying cash at the counterBwalking out of the storeCusing their Amazon accountsDscanning smartphones when leaving4The main purpose of the passage is to _.Aencourage people to shop onlineBadvise people to work for AmazonCinform people of a new concept storeDtell people of the shopping experience【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有关Amazon Go便利店的一些信息。【难句分析】Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go?分析：该句为主从复合句。句中where customers could simply take what they want and go为where引导的地点状语从句，修饰先行词store；其中take后接what引导的宾语从句what they want and go。译文：或者我们能不能创建一家实体店，在那里顾客只要拿走他们想要的东西然后离开？1A考查细节理解。根据第二段第一句“Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required”可知，Amazon Go便利店无需在收银台结账，故A项正确。B项文中没有提及；根据文章最后一句“Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program，and will be open to the public soon”可知，Amazon Go目前仅处于试营业阶段，仅对亚马逊员工开放，故C项错误；根据第三段第一句“Our checkoutfree shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in selfdriving cars：puter vision，sensor fusion，and deep learning”可知，Amazon Go使用的技术类似于无人驾驶汽车的技术，故D项错误。2B考查段落大意。通读第三段可知，该段主要介绍了无人收银的技术原理，即类似于无人驾驶汽车的技术；还介绍了顾客付款的技术原理。据此可知，该段主要介绍Amazon Go便利店的运作原理，故B项正确。3C考查细节理解。根据第三段最后一句“Shortly after，well charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt”可知，在顾客离开后，Amazon Go会通过亚马逊账户收取顾客的费用，故C项正确。4C考查写作意图。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一种新形式的零售便利店Amazon Go，介绍了该便利店的运作过程、技术原理、地理位置、即食食品服务等。故C项正确。二、单句语法填空。1They _(interrupt) by a sudden and urgent knock at the door.答案：were interrupted表示过去发生的动作，且主语they与interrupt之间为被动关系，故应用一般过去时的被动语态，填were interrupted。2We have no alternative but _(sell) our house to pay the debt.答案：to sellhave no alternative but to do . “除之外别无选择，只能做”。3It is generally _(assume) that stress is caused by too much work.答案：assumedIt is assumed that . “普遍认为”。4We should bear in mind that teamwork is of great _ (significant) to both our society and ourselves.答案：significanceof great significancevery significant “意义重大/非常重要”。5Once _(arrest), he was likely to betray everything to the police.答案：arrestedarrest与其逻辑主语he之间为被动关系，故用过去分词在句中作状语。6If only I _ (look) ahead a few days ago! Then I wouldnt have been feeling so worried now.答案：had looked由语境和句子结构可判断if only后应用虚拟语气；由时间状语a few days ago 可知表示与过去事实相反，故应填had looked。look ahead “向前看；为将来打算”。7This is a historic building _(date) back to the 17th century.答案：datingdate back todate from表示“追溯到”，无进行时，无被动语态，句中已有谓语动词is，且building和date back to存在逻辑上的主谓关系，故应填现在分词dating作后置定语。8I am fed up _this weather; its time we had some sunshine.答案：withbe fed up with “受够了；厌烦”。9Sometimes we went ahead and did it, regardless _the consequences.答案：ofregardless of “不管；不顾”。10While working out the problem, you should pay more attention to the _(accurate)答案：accuracy由空格前的冠词the可知，此处填名词形式。三、完形填空。“God，give us thankful hearts for these and for all our many blessings.”That was the _1.C_ my father，an East Texas farmer，said over every meal.Pa
