2023版新教材高考英语一轮总复习：UNIT 3 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解ANational Space Centre, LeicesterAn interactive museum of super-size space experiences: from a giant planet Earth you can touch to the UK's biggest domed planetarium (穹顶天文台) and a 42-metre rocket tower. You can't miss the latter as you drive into Leicester — the structure looks like it's wrapped in giant inflatable pillows. Inside, it houses Blue Streak and Thor Able rockets. Take in the full scale of them by riding a glass-sided lift up to the viewing platform. Elsewhere, there are six galleries with plenty of buttons to press and screens to touch. It's all under cover so it's a good place to visit on a rainy day!What about lunch?The Boosters Cafe serves reasonably priced hot and cold snacks and drinks (hot dog from ￡4.95, plus jacket potatoes, soups, sandwiches and salads) at the foot of the centre's two rockets. The cafe offers vegetarian and vegan options too.Getting thereThere is a regular bus service (No.54 with a stop two minutes' walk from the centre), as well as a park and ride service from Birstall. East Midlands Trains and Cross-Country Trains operate services to Leicester station, from which the centre is a 25-minute bus ride. If driving, it's just off the A6, north of the city centre. Parking is ￡3 for the day.Value for moneyIt's not cheap — adult: ￡15, 5 to 16-year-old: ￡12, but once you've paid you can revisit as many times as you want in a year, and admission is free for kids under five.Opening hours10 a．m.－4 p．m.

home to the water lily.D.It’s surrounded by beaches.BFor most of us,the world’s southern-most point seems like a pretty place,but for Hannah,Hannalore,Sophie and Julia,it’s home.Each year they spend five months living and working in Port Lockroy welcoming visiting ships and,best of all,watching over the native colony of penguins.They live on a tiny island the size of a football pitch,but share it with about 2,000 gentoo penguins and their chicks,as well asother birds.Life here is different every day and depends on weather and ice conditions,as well as the visiting ships’ schedules.Port Lockroy is one of the most visited places in Antarctica,with one to three ships visiting a day.Between ship visits they have other duties to attend to.These include maintenance jobs,sending postcards from the post office,checking conditions on the historical items in the museum and monitoring the penguin colonies and other wildlife.Hannah spends much time stamping people’s postcard,which makes her happy to think of the joy over 70,000 people per year get when they receive a postcard from Antarctica,and the most southerly post office in the world!For Sophie,the most amazing thing is being able to live and work with feathery friends,the penguins.Sophie says they have to make sure the penguins are not disturbed when they are resting or waddling their way back to their nests.They mark specific routes

universe—places so far away that their light takes billions of years to reach our eyes.Sometimes I wonder what our own galaxy looked like billions of years ago,before our solar system was born.I often stare at the Hubble Deep Field(哈勃深空区) searching for clues:galaxies colliding,stars exploding,and stellar nurseries.Can looking to the stars bring us closer together?A couple of months ago,Betelgeuse,a bright star in the Orion constellation(猎户座),started to get dimmer anddimmer.Astronomers all over the world thought this might be a signalthat the star was about to eight not happen for another 1,000 years or more,still I went outside every night to check it out.I was hoping that it would eagine seeing a star shining as bright as the full moon even during the day.I started dreaming about using such an event to remind everyone that stars produce nearly all of the chemical elements in the universe,which came directly out of the Big Bang.Everything we breathe,touch and see was made inside of stars.The iron in our blood,calcium in our bones,and almost the entire periodic table are products of stellar evolution.Betelgeuse did not eore recent observations note that it is actually returning to normal.But nothing is normal here on Earth now.I am beginning to realize that we did not need a star to explode to unite us.All we needed was a common problem.I am hoping that everyone on the planet is saving some time to contemplate the universe and to realize we are not alone.No matter where we are or who we are,we are on this planet together.Since weare all made of stars,looking up at the night sky gives us a glimpse of our past and our future,and we can contemplate both together.8.Why does the author write this article?A.To advise others to stare at a potentially exploding star recently.B.To research into the scientific mystery in the universe with readers.C.To discuss the proper relationship between humans and the universe.D.To suggest thinking about the way human beings live in this world.9.According to the article,Betelgeuse .A.is a star the author tracked for yearsB.will produce chemical elements if it eal star which is disappearingD.will explode in ten thousand years10.What does the underlined phrase“such an event” in Paragraph4 refer to?A.Betelgeuse’s potential emer and dimmer.C.The author’s checking out every night.D.A star’s shining as bright as the sun.11.What’s the best title of this passage?A.What should an astronomer do?B.Should we know more about the universe?C.Looking to the stars can bring us closer togetherD.Getting united is a problem impossible to solveDWhen the Chinese spacecraft Chang’e-5 returned to Earth on December 17,,it brought back something not seen on our planet since the 1970s:moon rock samples.This precious cargo,collected by Chang’e-5’s robotic research vehicle in the northwest region of the lunar near side,is now being studied by scientists in Beijing.The success of the latest Chinese space mission also showcased technology that may be used in future years to create human settlements on Earth’s near neighbor.The returned lunar samples will “absolutely add new knowledge of the history of the moon,particularly its volcanoes,” says XiaoLong,a planetary scientist at China University of Geosciences.The rocks s ent back by Chang’e-5 “will ask us to rethink about why and how the moon’s volcanic history lasted this long,” he says.The Chang’e-5 mission was more than just a trip to collect moon rocks.It was also the latest stage of a long,planned sequence of robotic lunar explorations by China that have grown ever more scientifically advanced.The program began with the launch of Chang’e-1 and Chang’e-2 three years later.These crafts circled the moon collecting data used to help guide Chang’e-3 and Chang’e-4,and to direct their robotic vehicles.The robot on Chang’e-5 was able to collect rock and soil samples and return them to Earth.In the near future,an identical spacecraft called Chang’e-6 will attempt asample-return mission from the moon’s south pole—an area of intense scientific interest—given the large amount of water ice present.The more advanced Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 spacecraft are also planned to land near the south pole to carry out analysis of theregion and test new technologies,including detecting and obtaining materials that could be useful to future human explorers,such as water and hydrogen,and testing 3D printing on the lunar surface.The long-term aim of the Chang’e program is to establish an International Lunar Research Station around to support robotic and,eventually,crewed missions.12.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.The moon’s recent volcanic activities.B.The significance of the moon rock samples.C.New knowledge of the history of the moon.D.Further studies of the returned lunar samples.13.What distinguishes the mission of Chang’e-6 from that of Chang’e-5?A.The technology they use.B.The time they spend on the moon.C.The specific locations they eount of material they bring back.14.What are Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 space missions mainly intended to do?A.Transport researchers to the moon station.B.Build up an International Lunar Research Station.C.Collect data necessary to guide moon-landing spacecraft.D.Find and test resources and means to support living on the moon.15.Which of the f ollowing best summarizes the Chang’e space program?A.A project to study the surface of the moon.B.A plan to improve human settlements on the moon.C.A set of experiments to test the possibility of manned spacecraft.D.A series of increasingly challenging scientific lunar eusic BylisteningPeople can enjoy music by listening to it.They can go to concerts to hear musicians perform. 1 However,sometimes huge festivals are organized in which it is performed outside,in a field or stadium,like pop festivals.People can listen to music on CDs,computers,iPods,television and even mobile phones.There is so much music today,in elevators,shopping malls,and stores,that it often becomes a background sound.Sometimes it is pleasant to listen more closely to music. 2Byplayingorsinging3 Probably the most common for complete beginners is the piano or keyboard,the guitar,or the recorder.After they have learnt to play scales and play simple tunes,then they can think about which instrument for further development.4 For example,a very short child cannot play a full-size double bass,because the double bass is over five feet high.Finally,it helps to have a good teacher. BycomposingAnyone can make up his or her own pieces of music.It is not difficult to compose simple song s or melodies.It’s easier for people who can play an instrument themselves.All it takes is experimenting with the sounds that an instrument makes.Someone can make up a piece that tells a story,or just find a nice tune and think about ways it can be changed each time it is repeated. 5A.Music can be written in several ways.B.People can learn to play an instrument.C.The instrument might be someone’s own voice.D.Classical music is usually performed in concert halls.E.As we know,some kinds of music make people excited.F.They should choose an instrument that is practical for their size.G.We are trying to hear the different instruments and what types of notes the instruments are playing.答案：Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是应用文。

UNIT 3 THE INTERNETⅠ.阅读理解AWhen the designer and typographer(排印工) Marcin Wichary chanced upon a tiny museum just outside Barcelona five years ago,the experience tipped his interest in the history of technology into an obsession(痴迷) with a very particular part ofit:the keyboard.“I have never seen so many typewriters under one roof.Not even close,” he shared on the Internet at the time.“At this point,I literally have tears in my eyes.I’m not kidding.This feels like a miracle.”He’d had a discovery while wandering through the exhibit:Each key on a keyboard has its own stories.And these stories are not just about computing technology,but also about the people who designed,used,or otherwise interacted with the keyboards.Take the backspace key for example,he explains,“I like that the concept of backspace was originally just that—a space going backward.We are used to it erasing now,but for a hundred years,erasing was its own incredibly complex effort.You needed to master a Comet eraser,or Wite-Out,or strange correction tapes,and possibly all of the above...or give up and start from scratch whenever you made a small mistake in typing.”The deeper he researched,the more obsessive he became.Amazed that no comprehensive books existed on the history of keyboards,he decided to create his own.When not working at his day job as the design leader for the design software company Figma,he began producing ShiftHappens,a two-volume,1,216-page hardcover book—and raised over $750,000 for the project on Kickstarter in March of2024.Wichary was only a bit surprised by the support and the keyboard’s wide appeal.As he points out,“It’s such a crucial device that occupies a lot of our waking life.”1.After the museum experience,Wichary’s interest in technology .A.took offB.died outC.grew strongerD.became more concrete2.What did Wichary discover while admiring the keyboards?A.The stories behind them.B.The wisdom of humans.C.The secret of the keyboards.D.The history of technology.3.What does Wichary want to tell us about the backspace key in paragraph 4?A.It is a simple but powerful key.B.It can be used to move back one space.C.It is the result of long-term improvement.D.It allows people to make mistakes when typing.4.Why did Wichary write his own book?A.To fill a gap.B.To get famous.C.To make money.D.To record history.BMany studies have shown that when people read on-screen,they don’t understand what they’ve read as well as when they read in print.For example,researchers in Spain and Israel took a close look at 54 studies comparing digital and print reading.Their 2024 study involved more than 171,000 prehension,they found,was better overall when people read print rather than digital texts.Maryanne Wolf,who works at the University of California,Los Angeles explained that reading is not natural.We learn to talk by listening to those around us.It’s pretty automatic.But learning to read takes real work because the brain has no special network of cells just for reading.To understand text,the brain borrows networks that evolved(进化) to do other things.For example,the part that evolved to recognize faces is called into action to recognize letters.This is similar to how you might adapt a tool for some new use.For example,a coat hanger is great for putting your clothes in the closet(衣柜).But if a blueberry rolls under the refrigerator,you might straighten out the coat hanger and use it to reach under the refrigerator and pull out the fruit.As a result,the brainmight slip into skim(阅读) mode when you’re reading on a screen.It may switch to deep-reading mode when you turn to print.Your reading doesn’t just depend on the device,however.It also depends on what you assume about the text.Baron,who is a scientist studying language andreading,calls this mindset.She says one way mindset works is in anticipating how easy or hard we expect the reading to be.If we think it will be easy,we might not put in much effort.Much of what we read on-screen tends to be text messages and social media posts.They’re usually easy to understand.So,when people read on-screen,they read faster.When reading fast,we may not absorb all the ideas as well.So if you really need to learn something,you’re probably better off with print.5.What is Maryanne Wolf’s point of view?A.Reading is unnatural for the brain.B.Digital texts are easier to understand.C.Old tools should be adapted for new use.D.There are two different modes of reading.6.How was Maryanne Wolf’s point of view explained?A.By referring to the results of previous studies.B.By sorting data collected through experiments.C.By analyzing examples of people’s reading experiences.D.By comparing reading to doing things with borrowed tools.7.What will Baron probably agree with?A.An effective reader absorbs all the ideas.B.Digital reading devices can be put into better use.C.Reading strategies should be applied to improve reading speed.D.We have different mindsets in screen reading and print reading.8.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A.What’s behind how you read,device or psychology?B.Are social media posts fueling up a fast reading craze?C.Will you learn better from reading on-screen or on paper?D.Which employs more parts of your brain,reading or listening?Ⅱ.七选五In this day and age,it is difficult to imagine our lives without emails.But how often do we consider the environmental impact of these messages? 1 It’s easy to ignore the invisible energy involved in running the network—particularly when it comes to sending and storing data.Every single email is stored on a server(服务器). 2 These computers consume massive amounts of energy,24 hours a day,and require countless water or air conditioning systems for cooling.The more messages we send,receive and store,the more servers are needed. 3According to carbon footprint specialists,every spam email(垃圾邮件) releases an estimated 0.3 grams of CO2 into the atmosphere.A standard email,one without an attachment has a carbon footprint of 4 grams of CO2. 4 These carbon emissions come from the energy used to operate the computers and access the Internet.Recent calculations indicate if every email user sent one less unnecessary email each day,it would reduce CO2 emissions by 16,433 tonnes each year.That is the same as 81,152 flights between London and Madrid!5 Avoid sending unnecessary mails,reduce the amount of spam you receive and regularly clean out your inbox.A.The real impact may actually be even higher.B.The server is designed to store huge amounts of data.C.That means more energy consumed,and more carbon emissions.D.An email with a lot text and attachment can be responsible for up to 50 grams.E.It’s definitely worthwhile taking a few minutes to do an eco-friendly digital clean-up.F.We assume that using emails requires only the electricity used to power our computers.G.Quantities of emails require huge server farms—millions of computers storing information.Ⅲ.语法填空(2024九省适应性测试)Whenever you have to write a paper,a letter,or any other document for work or school,you probably head toward the computer.Now,most

高考英语一轮阅读理解选练（1）APollution’s great effects on the environment have become more obvious in recent years, leading to a movement to promote energy efficiency（效率）,less reliance on fossil（化石) fuels, and a reduction in air and water pollution. Most scientists agree that such changes are necessary to protect our environment from further harm.The construction industry consumes a large quantity of energy and resources and creates a huge amount of pollution. In the United States, building and development accoun t for 39% of the country’s total energy use, 12% of total water consumption,68% of total electricity consumption and 38% of carbon dioxide emissions（二氧化碳排放）, according to the Environment Protection Agency.Green buildings use less energy, water, create less waste, and are healthier to live, work, and go to school in than standard buildings. Builders of green buildings use techniques that use resources more efficiently during the entire building cycle—construction, restoration, operation, maintenance（维护）and demolition（拆毁）—than those who construct more regular buildings.The environmental benefits of building green include the protection of ecosystems （生态系统）and biodiversity, improved air and water quality, less waste flowing into streams, and the protection of natural resources. Green buildings can also result in lower operating costs because they typically use less energy and fewer materials and improve indoor air quality, improving the health of people who live in such buildings.The process of building green includes technical and artistic planning with nature protection in mind. Building designs often reflect the surrounding environment and natural resources and use renewable building materials such as bamboo and straw. In addition, recycled resources found locally are used for green buildings, reducing the cost and air pollution associated with transporting materials over long distances.Careful site selection is important to minimize（最小化）human impact on the surrounding environment. For example, placing a structure in an area that allows itto take advantage of cool breezes（微风）and sunlight can reduce energy use and expenses. More energy and expense are needed for larger buildings as well, so it is important to build small.Green roofs are another feature of green houses that reduce energy use and cost. These roofs are partly or completely covered with plants, which helps to keep heating and cooling costs, prevent water running off and deal with pollutants.Other features of green buildings often include energy and water conservation, recycling, and waste reduction. In addition, renewable energy sources such as solar power, hydropower（水能）and wind power are used for heat and electricity, which greatly reduces costs and decreases the impact on the environment.1.What is the text mainly about?A. The necessity of promoting energy efficiency.B. The process of building green buildings.C. The benefits and features of green buildings.D. Green buildings effects on the environment.2.According to the text, green buildings refer to the buildings that______.A. produce no wasteB. only use clean energyC. are made of recycled materialsD. use energy and resources more efficiently3.Which of the following statements is TRUE about green buildings?A. They rely on fossil fuels and solar power for heat and electricity.B. Small buildings are less efficient in energy use than larger ones.C. The ecosystem has to be considered when building a green building.D. They are difficult to maintain and thus need more operating costs.4.Why are green roofs used ?A. They fit the surrounding environment wellB. They are cheaper than other kinds of roofsC. They can keep natural water for use in everyday lifeD. They can help to control the temperature in the building well【文章大意】在本文中作者主要分析了green building的诸多好处和对环境的巨大的保护作用，呼吁人们多建设这样的绿色的建筑。

2021版高三英语一轮复习阅读限时练3Unit3Backtothepast（A卷）牛津译林版必修3(对应学生用书第289页)Ⅰ.阅读明白得A(2021年湖南长沙高三年级统一模拟考试)In between running one of the world's largest charitable agencies and acting as Microsoft's technology advisor, Bill Gates manages to find time to read books, both long and short.Now Gates—who has been labeled a “greedy” reader—has released a list of his favorite books.All of the books are standout reads, according to the billionaire, most of which are focused on business and economy.Here are Bill's top four picks ( with parts of his full review of each book)．Business Adventures, by John BrooksBrooks' collection was published in 1969 and remains one of Gates' favorites.He re­read it again this year, labeling it the best business book he has ever read.“Shortly after we met, Warren Buffett lent me this collection of business articles from The New Yorker from the 1950s and 1960s.I loved them as much as he did.Brooks' insights(洞悉力)into business have aged beautifully, and they are as true today as ever.”Capital in the Twenty­First Century, by Thomas PikettyPiketty's novel hit the shelves in August 2020 and sparked much discussion concerning income inequality throughout this year.Gates also got to sit down with Piketty himself after reading the non­fiction work to di scuss the topic.“As I told him, although I have concerns about some of his secondary points and policy prescriptions, I agree with his most important conclusions：inequality is a growing problem and governments should play a role in reducing it.”How Asia Works, by Joe StudwellStudwell's work, which was published in May 2020, addresses how countries such as Japan, South Korea and China have continued to achieve high growth, and why other countries have failed to do the same.“The agriculture section of the book was particularly insightful.It providedample food for thought for me as well as the whole agriculture team at our foundation.And it left us thinking about whether parts of the Asian model can apply in Africa.”Making the Modern World: Materials and Dematerialization, by Vaclay Smil Smil's books are a constant favorite of the Microsoft's founder—one of his books makes Gates' list almost every year.“Making the Modern World” came out late in 2020 and explores the global use of materials, from silicon to wood and plastic.“If anyone tries to tell you we're using fewer materials, send him this book.With his usual skepticism and his love of data, Smil shows how our ability to make things with fewer materials—say, soda cans that need less aluminum—makes them cheaper, which actually enco urages more production.”【语篇解读】本文介绍了比尔·盖茨喜爱阅读的四本关于商业和经济的书。

阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。

It is probably the strangest sportanyone has ever invented. And at firstsight, it looks like the easiest.Competitors have to do two things. Thefirst is to stand still. The second is toplace their hands anywhere on the body of a car, and keep it there.This is where things start getting difficult. Lots of people are doing the same thing. And the winner of the“handathon”contest is the person who can carry on doing it for the longest time. That person gets to own the car.It still seems to be an easy thing to do. At the beginning it is. Anyone can stand still. But when the contest has been going for four or five days, standing still seems like the most difficult job in the world. And keeping the hand in place over this time becomes an act of serious attention. After a few days, the hand seems to belong to someone else—someone who wants to go home and get some sleep.Competitors are allowed to take a five-minute break every hour to eat, drink or do whatever else is necessary. No one is allowed to lean on the car for support. Winners need to be able to show great powers of attention. They also need to be able to develop special skills.Maybe the popularity of the handathon is due to the fact that it is not necessary to be a trained athlete to enter. Entrants in the Longview handathon certainly don’t seem to do much preparation. Most say they will prepare by“getting lots of sleep”. Others say they will“eat healthy food”or“pray for success”. The whole event gives ordinary people the chance to do something interesting and win something in the end.Handathons are competitions, but there is little rivalry(敌对)between competitors. They help each other out and keep each other’s spirits up. People who drop out early return with food, drink and encouragement.【文章大意】双手放在车身任何部位, 静立不动, 你能坚持多久? 本文介绍了一项看似简单, 实则类似于马拉松的运动形式“handathon”。

a group of mothers on low incomes in the US is beginning to discover the precise role of parental income in child development.It is the firstrandomized trial to look at whether a basic income might affect the way a child’s brain develops in this critical period.We know that the first few years of a child’s life are the most influential in their development.Brain development is particularly rapid in early childhood and therefore more likely to be influenced by the environment.Studies of children born into families on low incomes have found they tend to have more behavioral problems and are behind their peers when they start schoo l.However,it isn’t clear whether low income directly leads to these outcomes,or whether they are a result of other factors associated with growing up in poverty.To find out,Kimberly Noble at Columbia University in the City of New York and her colleagues approached women on low incomes who had just given birth at four sites in the US.The team measured several things throughout the study.At each yearlyfollow-up,children are assessed by measures like sleepquality,developmental milestones,overall health and emotional development.One unique aspect of the study is the use of mobile EEGheadsets to monitor the infants’ brain activity in their home environments.Almost $4 million has been given out through the study so far.Though it is too early to draw full conclusions,some preliminary(初步的) results are already of interest.For ee of the parents have allowed the researchers to keep track of their transactions(交易).Those in the high-cash group appear to be spending more on books for their children,and spending more time reading together,according to surveys the team conducted.This is potentially good news because reading to infants is known to be good for cognitive development,vocabulary and promoting important bonds between adults and children.Eventually the findings could help with policyinterventions(干涉) to assist children born into poverty,or even to find ways to buffer the effects of poverty later in life.8.What does the passage mainly talk about?A.The early years of a child’s life are the most influential.B.Women should earn more to promote children’s development.C.Money affects brain development in one’s childhood.prehensive measures are to be taken to assist children.9.The unconditional cash given out brings positive consequences possibly because .A.the family can live a carefree life with the cashB.it helps to offer a better environment to the childrenC.the family can offer the children more nutritionD.it provides more time for the family to get together10.The underlined word “buffer” in the last paragraph may mean .A.preventB.causeC.reduceD.transform11.How were the conclusions of the study proved?A.By making questionnaires.B.By taking randomized trials.C.By giving participants interviews.D.By doing follow-up researches.D(河北保定一模)E space is an unexplained wonder.Scientists don’t know ees from.And now astronomers have spotted this light,called gamma(伽马) rays,at higher energies than ever before.You can’t see gamma rays with your eyes.They are much more energetic than the light that we can see.So you need a fancy detector to spot them.The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory(LHAASO) is an ea rays.Scientists have spotted 12 gamma-ray hot spots.These are parts of the sky from which the gamma rays are sent out.Those hot spots show that our galailky Way,has powerful particle accelerators(加速器).But those particle accelerators aren’t made byhumans.Instead,they come from violent events in the universe.They might be eple.Such violent events make electric and magnetic fields,which can speed up protons(质子) and electrons.Those fast particles can then produce gamma rays with a lot of energy.That canhappen when protons interact with other matter in space,for example.Scientists aren’t sure what could produce gamma rays with the extreme energies observed.But the new observations point to two possibilities.One hot spot was associated with the Crab Nebula.That’s the remains of an exploded s tar.Another possible source was the Cygnus Cocoon.That’s a region where massive stars are forming.The stars send out intense winds in the process.LHAASO is located on Haizi Mountain in China’s Sichuan Province.It is not yet fully operational.It’s due to b e completed later this year.Then,it could find even more gamma rays.12.What can we learn about gamma rays?A.They are invisible.B.They are often ignored.C.They contain little energy.D.They are used to ee eake the explanation lively.B.To help understand the Milky Way.C.To illustrate that the universe is ema rays might be produced.14.Which word can describe the astronomical observation mentioned in this text?A.Disappointing.B.Eed.15.What can be a suitable title for this tema Rays Come from Multiple SourcesB.The Universe Is Exploding with Great EnergyC.Light from Space Has Record-Breaking EnergyD.Gamma Rays Can Only Be Seen by AstronautsⅡ.七选五(福建福州质量抽测)There is no escaping our evolution into a cashless society.The idea that all transactions(交易) can be completed digitally is becoming more realistic day by day. 1 As it is,people increasingly demand low-touch or contactless payments with growing concerns over the spread of viruses and diseases.A cashless society would give rise to a new era for financial deals.The key benefits would include lower crime rates,easier foreign transactions,andreduced risks and costs.The idea of a cashless society appears very common in our society. 2Economic inequality and inclusivity(包容性) are fundamental issues still present worldwide. 3 The unbanked and poor could face significant challenges with digital modes of payment.In fact,most of the unbanked view the cashless movement as an unfair act against those without bank accounts.For a cashless society,there needs to be an understanding and acceptance by governments and payment providers of the financial inclusion issues currently in existence. 4 There are also the elderly and the disabled who face their own challenges with rapid digitalization and technological advancement.There are still parts of society that lack trust in digital payments or have barriers to accessing mobile phones and the Internet.5 It is also about to launch a national digital currency(货币),the world’s first.Nearly everything can be transact ed by digital means here.As we prepare for the consequence of the pandemic,and use the model set by China,other countries need to takeit upon themselves to provide a harmonious,effective,and cashless society —one that does not leave anyone behind.A.However,this is far from reality.B.Several countries have entered cashless society.C.A cashless society might actually worsen these problems.D.The pandemic has sped up the move away from physical cash.E.In China,four out of every five payments are now cashless.F.It isn’t just the unbanked who are at risk of being left behind.G.So financial inclusion needs to be the core value in a cashless society.必修3 Unit3 阅读理解题组——练速度Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。
