课时提升作业十七必修4Unit 2Working the land(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2018·茂名模拟) If you believe in thermometers(温度计), you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating fries with your burger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.It won’t happen overnight, but as the planet’s climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected. Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat, ” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and farmers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range, ” Nelson says. “They’vebeen moving up the mountains, but at some point you run out of mountains to move up. ” Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if you’re looking at the direct effects of temperature alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up, the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won’t make as many seeds, ” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.【文章大意】本文主要介绍的是马铃薯、咖啡和水稻这三种农作物需要凉爽的夜间温度才能够生长得好, 如果气温变化太大则不能生存。

This Ms Boyle, looking unfashionable, from a village in Scotland, shocked the three judges and the audience with the song I dreamed a dream from the musical Les Miserables on a show of Britain's Got Talent, one of the hottest reality shows in Britain.She couldn't hide the awkwardness when walking to the center of the stage in a housedress, and everyone—including the judges—seemed laughing at her when she said she wanted to be as successful as Elaine Paige. As soon as she began singing, however, everyone in the auditorium fell silent, then rose within seconds to applaud her incredible voice as the celebrity judges sat open­mouthed, and remained standing to the end.After her performance, one of the judges Piers Morgan said，“Without doubt thatwas the biggest surprise I've had in three years of this show. When you stood there everyone was laughing a t you.No one is laughing now. That was amazing.”Actress Amanda Holden followed，“I'm so thrilled because I know that we everybody were against you.I honestly think that we were all being very cynical(愤世嫉俗的) and I think that's the biggest wake­up call ever.”Susan obviously won over the hearts of millions around the world with sensation spreading across the Atlantic. Hollywood actors Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore—who between them have nearly 1.5 million followers—speak highly of her. Kutcher posted a link to the video clip(片段). The Scottish talent made her live American debut via satellite connection on CBS's The Early Show, doing an interview and singing live from her room. And she already accepted an invitation from talk show hostess Oprah Winfrey.Now Boyle has become one of the world's hottest celebrities.

Their algebra teacher, LaMar Queen, uses rhyme to help them memorize seemingly difficult items to improve their grades.Queen, 26, is now known at Los Angeles Academy Middle School as the rap teacher, but his fame has spread beyond the 2，200­student school in this neighborhood. He's won a national award and shown teachers and parents how to use rap to teach children.“Math is a bad word for many students, but if we put it in a form that kids enjoy, they'll learn，” Queen said. “Rap is what the kids respond to.They don't have a problem memorizing the songs at all.”Queen's math rap came about by chance. Two months after starting at LA Academy, he was frustrated when kids said his class was boring. They thought that he looked like the singer Kanye West, so they challenged him to rap.Queen has been rapping since the seventh grade. With his students' challenge on his mind, he pushed aside work on his lesson plans and wrote a rap song Slope Intercept.Word of his rapping soon reached the school's main office. Principal Maria Borges went to look into it, and came out smiling.“It interests the kids，” she said.“Kids seem to know all the rap songs, and it's helpful for them to remember math rules.” “Some kids who aren't even in Mr Queen's class go ar ound singing his songs，” said Kejon Closure, 13, who went from a C­average to an A.In the raps, Queen defines a math concept and works through sample problems step by step. He keeps a relaxed manner when singing with his students. Queen also tries to insp ire them. His lyrics tell students “to get As on your papers”，and “to be respectful and listen to your parents”．Sometimes the students appear in the videos as a reward for good grades and behavior.20．According to the passage, LaMar Queen has been ________ since he began to teach students at Los Angeles Academy.A．a popular teacher B．a music teacherC．a mathematics teacher D．a famous singer21．LaMar Queen has won a national award because ________．A．he is good at composing rap songsB．his new musical production was shown on TVC．he created a unique teaching method in mathD．he gave students a lot of confidence22．We can infer from the last paragraph but one that ________．A．Queen's teaching method has been well received by both the principal and the studentsB．Queen makes math easy and tries to inspire his students in the rapC．Queen is willing to help the students who are not good at mathD．Principal Maria Borges doesn't think it a good way to teach math by rapping 23．This passage may be taken from China Daily in the column of ________．A．society B．educationC．entertainment D．biographyⅢ.短文填词Last weekend, our school organized a social activity.

Then her garden gave her the idea for a business: She'd planted 20 bamboo forests on their seven­acre farm.Heinr icher started Boo­Shoot Gardens in 1998. She realized early on what is just now beginning to be known to the rest of the world. It can be used to make fishing poles, skateboards, buildings, furniture, floors, and even clothing. An added bonus: Bamboo absorbs four times as much carbondioxide as a group of hardwood trees and releases 35 percent more oxygen.First she had to find a way to mass­produce the plants—a tough task, since bamboo flowers create seed only once every 50 to 100 years. And dividing a bamboo plant frequently kills it.Heinricher appealed to Randy Burr, a tissue culture expert, to help her.“People kept telling us we'd never figure it out，” says Heinricher.“Others had worked on it for 27 years! I believed in what we were doing, though, so I just kept going.”She was right to feel a sense of urgency. Bamboo forests are being rapidly used up, and a United Nations report showed that even though bamboo is highly renewable,_as many as half of the world's species are threatened with dying out.Heinricher knew that bamboo could make a significant impact on carbon emissions(排放)and world economies, but only if huge numbers could be produced. And that's just what she and Burr figured out after nine years of experiments—a way to grow millions of plants. By placing cuttings in test tubes with salts, vitamins, plant hormones, and seaweed gel, they got the plants to grow and then raised them in soil in greenhouses.Not long after it, Burr's lab hit financial difficulties. Heinricher had no experience running a tissue culture operation, but she wasn't prepared to quit. So she bought the lab.Today Heinricher heads up a profitable multimillion­dollar company, working on species from all over the world and selling them to wholesalers(批发商). “If you want to farm ba mboo, it's hard to do without the young plants, and that's what we have，” she says proudly.11．What was the main problem with planting bamboo widely?A．They didn't have enough young bamboo.B．They were short of money and experience.C．They didn't have a big enough farm to do it.D．They were not understood by other people.12．What does Heinricher think of bamboo?A．Fragile and affordable.B．Productive and flexible.C．Useful and earth­friendly.D．Strong and profitable.13．The underlined word “renewable” in Paragraph 6 probably means “________”．A．able to be replaced naturallyB．able to be raised difficultlyC．able to be shaped easilyD．able to be recycled conveniently14．What do you learn from the passage?A．Heinricher's love for bamboo led to her experiments in the lab.B．Heinricher's determination helped her to succeed in her work.C．Heinricher struggled to prevent bamboo from disappearing.D．Heinricher finally succeeded in realizing her childhood dream.BAll over my garden I've planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower.A close friend came for a visit the other day. I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom. I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away.That girl friend of mine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn't pick a single rose. I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn't make a living out of them. Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said. With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut.

He was coming back with a heavy heart. It was not just that it was the end of a wonderful holiday； it was not just that he invariably suffered badly from jet lag； it was that Monday mornings always began with a team meeting and， over the months， he had grown to hate them.Martin was aware that colleagues approached these meetings with hidden agendas；they indulged(纵容) game－playing； and he knew that people were not being honest and open. The meetings themselves were bad enough—there was all the moaning afterwards at the meeting like “I could have improved on that idea， but I wasn't going to say”.As this morning's meeting began， Martin prepared himself for the usual dullness and boredom. But， as the meeting progressed， he became aware of a strange background noise. At first， he thought that he was still hearing the engine noise from the aircraft that had brought him back to London. But， as he concentrated on the noise，it became a little clearer.He realized—to his amazement—that he could actually hear what they were thinking at the same time as they were speaking. What surprised him， even more than the acquisition(获得) of this strange power， was that he discovered that what people were saying was not really what they were thinking. They were not making clear their reservations. They were not supporting views which they thought might be popular. They were not contributing their new insights. They were not volunteering their new ideas.Martin found it impossible not to respond to his new knowledge. So he started to make gentle interventions， based more on what he could hear his colleagues thinking than on what he could hear them saying. “So，John are you really saying…” “Susan， do you really think that？” “Tom， have you got an idea on how we could take this forward？” They looked at him， puzzled. In truth， he felt rather proudof his_newly－acquired_talent.As the meeting progressed， it was clear to him that each member of the meeting was learning how to hear the thoughts of the others. The game－playing started to fall away； people started to speak more directly； views became better understood；the atmosphere became more open and trusting.The meeting ended. As people left the room， Martin found that he could still hear what they were thinking. “That was the best meeting we've ever had.” “All meetings should be like that.” “In future，I'm going to say what I think”.16．It is known from the first paragraph that Martin ________.A．just came back from his business trip in New YorkB．was found to suffer from a serious heart disease during the tripC．had a good time during his fortnight's stay in New YorkD．didn't like his work in his London office17．Why did Martin hate his company's team meeting？A．Because it had to be held every Monday morning.B．Because he was tired of hosting such a meeting.C．Because he couldn't control the meeting that was out of order.D．Because the meeting atmosphere wasn't open and trusting.18．The underlin ed part “his newly－acquired talent” in Paragraph 5 means that he could ________.A．still hear the engine noise of the plane though he was backB．clearly hear what the members of the meeting were sayingC．actually control the thoughts of the members of the meetingD．express what the meeting members were thinking based on their words and their thoughts19．What do we know about this Monday morning's meeting from the passage？A．Martin made people say what they were thinking immediately the meeting began.B．Martin was angry at the dullness of the meeting at the beginning of the meeting all the time.C．Martin led people to express their real thoughts with the meeting progressing.D．Many members of the meeting played games and told lies at the meeting all the time.20．It is inferred from the last two paragraphs that towards the end of the meeting Martin would hear such words as “ ________”.A．I was thinking of making a suggestion—but I couldn't be botheredB．I have got an idea on how we could take this forwa rd. I think we should…C．The usual people say the usual things， so I have no other new ideas D．I could have improved on that idea， but I wasn't going to sayⅢ.阅读表达阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到相应的横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)。

课时提升作业十七必修4 Unit 2 Working the land(限时35分钟)Ⅰ. 阅读理解A(2018·茂名模拟) If you believe in thermometers(温度计), you should believe in global warming. And if you believe in eating fries with your burger, you should worry more about carbon emissions.It won’t happen overnight, but as the planet’s climate changes, the growth cycles of main crops will all be heavily affected. Here are three of the crops that might not beat the heat.The potato actually needs a great deal of beauty rest to develop properly. “They need a cool nighttime temperature in order to start growing the tuber, the part that we eat, ” Nelson says.Temperature and altitude are two primary concerns in coffee growth, and f armers are stuck between a rock and a hard place. “We know that coffee grows in a certain temperature range, ” Nelson says. “They’ve been moving up the mountains, but at some point you run out of mountains to move up. ”Higher-grade strains of Arabica coffee in Central American regions are at particular risk due to the need for lower growing temperature, especially since diseases and pests are also becoming more of a factor as temperatures rise.Even if you’re looking at the direct effects of temperatu re alone, rice is in trouble. “As nighttime temperatures go up, the rice is going to have a problem flowering and won’t make as many seeds, ” Nelson says. In addition to this direct heat consequence, rising sea levels will flood many rice fields and destroy water salinity levels, while droughts will lower production, raise prices, and further shame westerners who are too clumsy with chopsticks to be able to clear their plates once a new grain is adopted.【文章大意】本文主要介绍的是马铃薯、咖啡和水稻这三种农作物需要凉爽的夜间温度才能够生长得好, 如果气温变化太大则不能生存。

限时规范练17(必修4Unit2)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、了解科研突出贡献人物的思维意识一、阅读理解AMike Hayes of Rochelle,Illinois,proved he was smart in his first year at college.In 1987,while he was a student in the first year of the University of Illinois,he had gotten $2,500 from a job working at a store,but that money would not go far to pay the four years of tuition and college expenses that added up to around $28,000.His middle-class family had already put his older brothers through college.While Mike’s parents would have helped him to pay,Mike decided he did not want his parents going into debt for him.He came up with an idea to solve this problem.Mike wrote to Chicago Tribune writer Bob Greene.He wanted each of the newspaper’s readers to send him a penny.Greene thought the idea sounded fun and agreed to do it.He shared Mike’s letter with his readers on September 6,1987.“Just one penny,” Mike said.“A penny doesn’t mean anything to anyone.If everyone who is reading your reports looks around the room right now,there will be a penny on the corner of the desk,or onthe floor.That’s all I’m asking.A penny from each of your readers.”In less than a month,the Many Pennies for Mike fund had around $23,000.Donations were received from every state in the United States,and even Mexico,Canada,and the Bahamas.So,Mike achieved his $28,000 goal and went on to learn food science from the University of Illinois.In the end,Mike had this to say about the whole thing,“I just want to express my thanks to everyone...right now I’m feeling that the world is a pretty great place.”1.What troubled Mike when he was in his first year at college?A.He couldn’t afford his tuition.B.He failed to find a part-time job.C.His parents were unwilling to help.D.His parents had huge debts to pay off.2.What can we infer from Paragraph 4 about Mike?A.His fund needed more donations.B.He became rich and successful.C.His plan really worked.D.He asked for too much.3.What’s the best title for the text?A.Pennies for readersB.The value of educationC.Mike’s business in collegeD.The one penny college fundBFor 234 years,the bald eagle has been an official symbol of the U.S.It is,after all,the national animal.But in May,2016,the former President Barack Obama signed a law naming the bison (野牛) the national mammal.Since then,the eagle has had to share its perch.The North American bison has long been a symbol of the West.“No other native animal tells America’s story better.It is a long-lasting symbol of power,Native American culture,and the Western wildness.At one time,tens of millions of bison lived in North America.For Native American communities,bison were a source of food and clothing.Bison were at the very heart of their traditional way of life,” says Missouri congressman William Lacy Clay Jr.That way of life changed in the mid-1800s.People began to travel west and hunt bison.Some hunted for the same reason as Native Americans did.But others killed bison for sport.In 1894,it became illegal to kill bison.But it was almost too late.By the early1900s,fewer than 1,000 wild bison remained in America.Some people realized the animals needed to be saved.President Theodore Roosevelt,William Hornaday — the first director of the Bronx Zoo,in New York City — and others formed the American Bison Society.The group was to bring back the bison.Native American tribes and locals also joined the fight.By the mid-1930s,bison were no longer in danger.Today,there are about 500,000 North American bison.They live in all 50 states.“Only about 30,000 of those animals are living as truly wild bison.Others live on protected lands or in zoos,” says Pat Thomas,the associate director of the Bronx Zoo.Thomas says naming the bison the national mammal was an important step in making sure the animal is well protected.“This recognition is beginning to complete the circle,” he says,“from a timewhen there were millions of wild bison,to when bison were hunted until they nearly died out,to the beginning of the recovery.”4.What does the underlined word “perch” in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Story.B.Food.C.High place.D.Famous name.5.What can we infer from William’s words?A.Bison have become popular worldwide.B.The bison plays an important role in America.C.Bison were protected well in North America.D.The bison is far more important than the eagle.6.What did the American Bison Society do in the mid-1930s?A.It brought back bison to the Bronx Zoo.B.It fought with Native American tribes.C.It introduced a new law on bison.D.It succeeded in saving bison.7.What did Thomas think of the May law on bison?A.He supported it.B.He was against it.C.He was surprised at it.D.He thought it was too late.二、七选五Why camp is great for childrenIf you’ve been to camp,you’re not surprised to hear about the advantages of summer camp.Here is a list of the most important reasons to send your kids to camp.At camp,children:Make true friends— Camp is the place where kids make their very best friends.Free from the social

He is often described as the man who has saved more lives than any other person in history. Norman Borlaug is considered the father of what has been called the Green Revolution. His ideas about agriculture increased crop production and ended hunger in many nations. Mr Borlaug continues to be a leader among agricultural researchers.Norman Borlaug was born in 1914 on a farm in the American state of Iowa. In the middle of the 20th century, world population was expanding faster than food production. Experts said many people in developing countries would face starvation.Norman Borlaug was an agricultural researcher at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center in Mexico. He developed methods of growing wheat that increased the amount harvested by three times. He later repeated this success in India, Pakistan and Africa.His methods of farming saved millions of people who would have starved to death. Norman Borlaug was given the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in 1970.Norman Borlaug is still urging experts to think about the needs of people around the world. His latest concern is a disease in wheat called UG 99.He says it has the power to destroy most of the wheat being grown around the world. He says reductions in agricultural programs have made it harder to take action against such threats.Mr Borlaug's granddaughter Julie works at the center named after him at Texas A&M University in Dallas. She says his worry about food problems rises from the belief that hunger is unacceptable. She says Norman Borlaug still believes it is our responsibility as human beings to feed oneanother.11. Norman Borlaug was ________ years old when he was given the Nobel Prize.A．56 B．94C．65 D．9912．In the passage, the writer tries to ________.A．express his respect for Norman BorlaugB．introduce Norman Borlaug's own life in AmericaC．show an interest in Norman Borlaug's researchD．describe Norman Borlaug and his research13．Which of the following statements about UG 99 is true?A．UG 99 is a modern software virus.B．UG 99 is a disease that does great harm to the wheat.C．UG 99 is a virus that appeared in 1999.D．UG 99 caused increase in agricultural output.14．In this passage, the author did NOT mention ________ besides the USA.A．France B．PakistanC．India D．Africa15．From the passage we can infer that________.A．Mr Borlaug died in 1970B．Norman Borlaug has made great contributions to the crop productionC．it is easy to take action against such threatsD．hunger is the main problem in AsiaBSome disabled people use a special card when they park their cars. These are called disabled placards, which are removable signs that can be hung from the rear－view(后视) mirror of a car. These placards are only supposed to be for disabled people.These placards are meant to help disabled people in a number of ways. They allow the person to park in special parking spaces. They can also be used when disabled people are being dropped off or picked up. Disabled people can even use them to park without having to pay.Parking officials think that some people are cheating. Not all people who have these placards are disabled. Today, one in sixteen drivers in California carries the sign. There are a lot more people who have disabled placards today than ten years ago. An official from the DMV(加州车辆管理局) says that there are many reasons for the increase. As people get older, they may develop health problems and need to have one. There are also other reasons why more drivers have them today. Finally, there are a number of people who have them that should not.Last year the DMV cancelled more than 25,000 permits. They found that lots of people who had the disabled placards had died. These permits are no longer valid.Some people are worried that the system is being abused. They are worried that access to the program could be limited because of the misuse. More rules could make it harder for people with real disabilities to get these placards.16．What do we know about placards?A．They are all used by disabled people.B．They are cards designed by disabled people.C．They can help disabled people park their cars.D．They allow disabled people to drive anywhere.17．The DMV cancelled many permits because________.A．the number of old people is growingB．the number of disabled people is on the riseC．they want to make it harder for disabled people to get themD．some people who have the placards have died18．What can people do with the placards?A．When disabled people are being dropped off, they can be used.B．Disabled people can pay for parking with them.C．Drivers can use them to drive their cars.D．People can have access to DMV with them.19．What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A．The reasons why disabled placards are also popular among drivers.B．Some healthy people also use the disabled placards.C．The number of disabled placard users had increased.D．More reasons for drivers to use car cards.20．We learn from the passage that________.A. disabled placards will be stopped by the governmentB．some people will be punished for breaking the lawC．some disabled people will be forbidden to use disabled placardsD．some rules will be made related to disabled placardsⅢ.读写任务阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

During that time, she has managed to grow Magical Moments & Elite Party Rentals into a well­developed wedding planning and rental operation. Statistics show that these kinds of mommy­owned businesses are on the rise. Many women say they can't find work that allows them to balance their responsibilities at home.Indeed, according to a national study conducted by IpsosReid on behalf of Microsoft Canada, fifty­four percent of female small business owners agree that being able to work at home to raise their family is a key reason to leave the corporate world behind.“Being a mom entrepreneur means trading a typical 9­to­5 work week for a more irregular routine”，says Gemma Moore, a b usy mother of two who owns and operates MG Moore Designs, a design company specializing in website, photography and print media.“Finding a business that you can build in the evenings will allow you to spend time with your children during the day and continue your business after they go to school.”Ninety­two percent of female small business owners say that mobile equipment and computer software can help a mom entrepreneur make her own hours and work whenever she is most productive. In fact, ninety­five percent agree that small business owners need to be_more_technology­sav vy than ever before. The more technology they master, the more successfully they will run their businesses.“Balance is a key aspect for most entrepreneurs, but this is especially true for women”， says Ruth Bastedo, President of Women Entrepreneurs of Canada(WEC). “Entrepreneurs recognize that today's technology can help them to find work/life balance while still providing them with the tools and materials they need to grow their businesses more effectively.”16．Many female employees left their corporate jobs in order to________．A．master more and more technologyB．support their family in a better wayC．look after their children more carefullyD．carry out their responsibilities as housewives17．What can we know about Gemma Moore from the passage?A．She has two companies of her own.B．She was once doing trade business.C．She does not work in the daytime.D．She can arrange her time more properly.18．The underlined part “be more technology­savvy”(in Paragraph 5) probably means “________”．A．save more hours for technologyB．spend less mo ney on technologyC．have a better knowledge of technologyD．find a better balance in the technical field19．The passage mainly tells us that ________．A．most women can hardly find suitable workB．new technology can help women to find workC．Karl Smith has started her own business at homeD．mommy­owned businesses can balance work and lifeBThere are four types of persons who go to work part­time. These include retirees who want a bit more income or socialization, parents who want to spend more time with their child ren, college and high school students and temporary agency workers who want more experience. Many people enjoy the advantages of working part­time, but benefits are rarely offered to part­time employees.Most people are hoping for health insurance and retirement benefits when taking a job. Traditionally, companies only offer benefits to employees who work 30 hours or more a week. This is only a 25% reduction in hours, so it doesn't free up a lot of time for the employee wh o needs part­time hours. Even when a part­timer is offeredhealth benefits, he is rarely offered paid time off and retirement benefits. Dental benefits are almost never offered to part­time employees.Many businesses hire part­time employees for the simple reason of saving money. If they work less than a certain number of hours, the employers don't need to pay for benefits. There a re companies, however, that are beginning to offer benefits to part­time employees. This includes benefits for health, paid t ime off and retirement plans. Some companies have begun to offer this in order to take in high quality, trained professionals who just want part­time hours. If a company wants a qualified employee, it will have to compete with other companies. Peopl e who may only want to work part­time may be forced to take a full­time job to get the benefits. Companies who offer benefits to p art­timers have an advantage by offering more choices to their employees in terms of hours.Conducting an Internet search is probably the quickest way to find companies that provide benefits for part­time employees. Many large corporations like Starbucks, Barnes & Noble and Whole Foods offer benefits to part­time employees among other things. Look for companies that offer a team approach to their employees. Employees are given choices and part of decision­making in the business. Businesses that allow employee input are more likely to offer benefits to part­timers.20．People prefer to work part­time mainly because they ________．A．don't want to spend more time on workB．have so many household and social affairsC．hope to have more money, time and experienceD．only expect to make more friends21．From the second paragraph we can learn that part­timers ________．A．can enjoy as many benefits as full­timersB．prefer retirement benefits to health insuranceC．often retire without enjoying any benefitD．often enjoy fewer benefits than full­timers22．What's the advantage of hiring part­time employees?A．They don't need the insurance.B．They can save employers some money.C．They have no choice but to work hard.D．They can also be changed into full­timers.23．We can infer from the last paragraph that ________．A．it's easy to find companies providing benefitsB．companies not allowing employees input don't offer any benefit to part­timers C．Starbucks in England doesn't provide benefits to full­timersD．employees are often forced to choose their jobsⅢ.短文填词Last week I went on an eco­travel with a travel agency.

Ⅰ.阅读理解ABritish shoppers buy 2.15 million tonnes of clothing and shoes annually，yet UK citizens have an estimated ￡30 billion worth of unused clothing gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe (衣柜)．But new technology could see the end of that，with the garments themselves giving owners a gentle reminder of their existence.“Smart clothes”could help us clear out our wardrobe s by sending messages or tweeting us if they haven't been worn for a good while.If these alerts are ignored，the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity and ask to be reused，with an organization automatically sending out donation information.They could also be programmed to put themselves up for auction(拍卖) on eBay.Academics at Birmingham City University are developing the “connected wardrobe” to encourage more suitable clothes consumption. The concept sees garments tagged (给……加标签) using washable contactless technology.Mark Brill，senior lecturer at Birmingham City University，said，“Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items that they didn't know were in their wardrobe.”“The connected wardrobe is a practical，pleasant concept to encourage people to think about their clothing consumption.Finally，I hope it will encourage more appropriate fashion consumption，”he added.“Perhaps we can even move away from the idea of‘ownership’of clothing.When we've worn them enough，the items will pass themselves on to their next keeper.”It follows in the footsteps of the “Internet of Things”—a concept that sees ordinary household items connecting to the Internet in order to share information.From adjusting your alarm clock to monitoring the temperature of your home，the Internet is changing the way we live.Now，the “Internet of Clothes” will see that neglected garments will tweet and text the owners “asking” to be worn depending on the weather and frequency of wear.Clothes will keep track of other information such as who owned them previously，as well as how much they originally cost，who made them and how much the worker was paid for them.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了新型的“智能衣服”“智能衣柜”，而这一科技发明可以帮助人们更好地管理自己的衣服，树立正确的消费观念。
