KingArthurandHisKnightsoftheRoundTable by Roger Lancelyn Green
I loved reading when I was little. My parents were both English teachers, and our home was full of books. Dickens was a family favorite. But the book that really fired my imagination was KingArthurandHisKnightsoftheRoundTable by Roger Lancelyn Green.

I'm a fool for a classic, and I'm so glad I finally managed to finish TheDiaryofaNobody by George and Weedon Grossmith. Put simply, it's the funniest book I've ever read, with text by George and illustrations by Weedon.

It's never too late to have your life changed by a book, and it happened to me again recently when I read Ted Chiang's collection Exhalation. StoryofYourLife, one of his best in it, inspired the alien visitation scifi classic Arrival. I love that too, but each and every piece in Exhalation is its match in imagination.

2023·武汉市调研 说明文 349词 ★★★☆☆ It is reported that rail industry bosses are planning to phase out paper train tickets and shut almost 1，000 station ticket offices in England. The government says nothing has been decided. But the transport secretary, Grant Shapps, points out some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online.
Regardless of the outcome of the plan, the direction of travel is clear. In the name of modernization and costcutting, station ticket offices are likely to follow many high street bank branches and rural post offices into memory. For those who have grown used to the advantages of organizing travel via a smartphone, there will be little to mourn (哀悼). But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will have emerged. A recent report estimated that around 6% of households—1.5 m homes—have no Internet access. Millions more of us remain irregular and unconfident users of the Internet. Most likely, as digital technology becomes the gatekeeper to everyday life, a significant minority risks being left behind.
The shift online is unavoidable, but its fallout needs to be managed with more care. Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives, which is increasingly the case. Ros Altmann, the former pensions minister, recently wrote of being contacted by an elderly woman who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required.
The debate over ticket offices offers an opportunity to reflect more broadly on the increasing role of technology in our social landscape. Clearly, much more needs to be invested in helping marginalized (边缘化的) groups gain easy online access. Alternative offline options must be maintained for important services.
Contactable telephone numbers and staffed public access points should always be available. This will cost more. But that is the price of being fair to those who find themselves on the wrong side of the digital divide.
4．What forces the rail industry to phase out paper train tickets? A．Costs of Internet access.
B．Closure of station ticket offices.
C．A sharp decline of offline transactions.
D．The government's efforts to digitize the industry. 5．Which of the following might fall victim to the plan? A．Rural post offices.
B．Irregular Internet users. C．Unconfident households. D．High street bank branches.
6．How does the author clarify his opinion in Paragraph 3? A.By giving an example. B．By making a comparison. C．By citing research data.
D．By offering statistical analysis.
7．What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A.Taking the digital divide fairly. B．Maintaining a diversity of services. C．Investing more in public transport. D．Slowing down the pace of modernization. Ⅲ.应用文写作

练习36 语法填空＋阅读理解＋应用文写作
Ⅰ.语法填空 【语篇解读】 Chelsea Fagan第一次使用信用卡时，由于不了解信用系统的工作原理，导致个人信誉被毁。为防止此类事情发生，她开通个人博客，记录自己的预算。后来这个博客变成了“The Financial Diet”，在这个平台上大家可以开始关于金钱的对话、分享建议和教育年轻人。
1．答案与解析：understanding 动名词。空前有介词Without，介词后如果接动词需要使用动名词形式，故填understanding。
2．答案与解析：threw 动词的时态和语态。根据空前的并列连词and可知，空处的时态应与空前并列谓语的时态保持一致，故应用一般过去时，空处与主语she是主动关系，故填threw。
3．答案与解析：to track 动词不定式。根据语境可知，Fagan开通个人博客是为了记录自己的预算，此处应用不定式短语作目的状语，故填to track。
4．答案与解析：which 非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处考查非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词是The Financial Diet，表示物，故填which。
5．答案与解析：and 连词。分析句子结构可知，此处为open the conversation about money、 share advice和educate young adults这三个动词短语的并列，中间缺少连词，故填and。
6．答案与解析：is made 动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。分析句子结构可知，空处是谓语部分。根据本段开头的Now可知，此处描述的是目前的情况，故时态应用一般现在时；主语Their team和空处是被动关系，空处需使用被动语态；主语是Their team，表第三人称单数概念，故空处应用单数形式。由此可知，空处填is made。
7．答案与解析：to 介词。此处考查固定短语related to “与……有关”，故填to。 8．答案与解析：experiences 名词。根据空后的and可知，空处与opinions和tips为并列关系，故应用名词形式。根据语境可知，任何人想分享与金钱有关的事情都可以提交一篇博文。由此可知，此处指的是这个平台上有很多人的经历。故填experiences。
9．答案与解析：The 定冠词。first是序数词； move是名词，在此处意为“行动”。故此处需要加定冠词，空处位于句首，首字母需大写，故填The。
10．答案与解析：finally 副词。修饰动词需用副词，save是动词，在此处意为“节省”，故填finally。
Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
1．答案与解析：D 理解具体信息。根据The Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith中的“it's the funniest book I've ever read”可知，本·米勒认为乔治·格罗史密斯和威登·格罗史密斯著的《小人物日记》最有趣，故选D。文中的funniest与题干中的the most amusing意义一致。
2．答案与解析：C 推断。明题意：本题问“《呼吸》这本书最可能属于哪一类？”→
寻线索：根据Exhalation by Ted Chiang部分中的“StoryofYourLife...but each and every piece in Exhalation is its match in imagination”可知，小说《你一生的故事》是科幻电影《降临》的原著，而《呼吸》中的每一个作品都不逊色于它的想象力→定答案：由此可推断，《呼吸》这部著作应归类到科幻小说当中，故选C。
3．答案与解析：A 理解目的。根据文中的“Buy__King__Arthur__and__His__Knights__of__the__Round__Table__here”“Buy__The__Diary__of__a__Nobody__here”“Buy__Exhalation__here”以及“This post contains some links...links on our site at no additional cost to you”可知，这篇文章的目的是给书做广告，故选A。
B
【语篇解读】 英格兰铁路公司打算逐步淘汰纸质火车票，将多数交易转移到互联网上。这说明由于技术的进步，人们的日常生活与互联网的关系更加密切，但在转变的过程中也要关注边缘化人群，否则将会有相当一部分人被抛在后面。
4．答案与解析：C 理解具体信息。根据第一段中的“some stations sell only a handful of tickets each week and the vast majority of transactions (交易) have moved online”可知，火车票的线下交易量大幅度下滑迫使铁路行业逐步淘汰纸质火车票，故选C。
5．答案与解析：B 理解具体信息。明题意：本题问“下列哪一项可能成为该计划的牺牲品？”→寻线索：根据第二段中的“But for people without online access or skills, another small social barrier will have emerged”可知，对于没有网络接入或技能的人来说，取消纸质火车票将会出现障碍→定答案：综上可知，如果取消纸质火车票，那些不经常上网的人将成为牺牲品，故选B。
6．答案与解析：A 理解文章结构。根据第三段内容尤其是最后一句话“Ros Altmann...who no longer drives to her local park, because she cannot download the car parking app required”可知，前养老金部长最近写道一位老妇人联系他并告诉他说自己不再开车去当地公园，因为她无法下载所需的停车应用程序。由此可推知，该段是以举例子的方式阐述作者的观点，故选A。
7．答案与解析：B 推断。根据最后一段中的“much more needs to be invested...and staffed public access points should always be available”可知，作者建议需要投入更多资金帮助边缘化群体轻松上网；对于重要的服务，必须维护备选的离线选项；应始终提供可联系的电话号码和配备人员的公共接入点。总之，作者建议应保持服务的多样性，故选B。
Ⅲ.应用文写作 Dear Ryan， I'm Li Hua from Class 3. I think it's not a good idea to randomly pair up students for the spoken English training after class. The reasons are as follows.
To begin with, randomly pairing up students may lead to unbalanced language abilities within the groups. This can hinder the progress of students as the more advanced one may dominate the conversation, leaving little room for the other students to improve. Besides, students may feel uncomfortable or less motivated if paired with someone who they don't get along with or have difficulty communicating with.
My suggestion is to group students based on their language abilities or to let students choose their own partners. This way, everyone can feel more comfortable practicing and improving their spoken English together.
Thank you for considering my suggestion.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
