Perhaps unsurprisingly，half of the UK’s singles eat a meal alone at least once a day.And even one in four mothers with families has dinner mostly by themselves according to a major report on eating trends and social change by the Future Foundation.However，eating alone doesn’t seem to matter anymore if you can chat away on social networks—in fact it’s now a both quick and entertaining affair. “Suppertainment” is the phrase created for the current major trend that reflects the number of people who eat in front of the computer，TV or game controller.Single men are the majority leading this trend，with 60 percent of them spending mealtimes entertaining themselves with something.However,40 percent of mothers and 30 percent of students also eat meals while being on the PC or laptop several times a week. Boyd Hilton，TV and reviews editor of Heat magazine says，“Setting yourself up in front of the TV to ‘suppertain’ comes naturally，especially when you’ve been busy all day.If I’m on my own I always tend to make a quick and easy meal and settle down to watch something entertaining or I’ll get on the laptop and catch up with comedies like the new season of Curb Your Enthusiasm on More 4 or Outnumbered on BBC 1.” “I think it’s such a bonus that healthy and tasty convenience meals now mean you can relax about eating good food without having to worry about preparation time.” 1．Why don’t many people eating alone feel lonely? A．They are too busy to feel lonely. B．People are happy to eat alone. C．They eat with solitary entertainment. D．They have good news at mealtimes. 2．Which of the following best defines the term “suppertainment”？ A．The trend of eating alone among single people. B．Eating alone accompanied by the computer，TV or game controller. C．Entertaining oneself with advanced technology. D．Get relaxed by watching comedies on TV or playing games on the computer. 3．What is the purpose of the author by quoting what Boyd Hilton said in the last paragraph? A．To emphasize the importance of healthy and tasty meals. B．To tell people to have good meals without doing preparing work. C．To prove that “suppertainment” is a good idea. D．To call people’s attention to eating meals in relaxing manners. B (2012·長春市畢業(yè)班第一次調研) Have you noticed how many nouns are being used as verbs？We all use them，often without noticing what we’re doing. I was arranging to meet someone for dinner last week，and I said “I’ll_pencil_it_in_my_diary”，and my friend said “You must ink it in”，meaning that it was a firm arrangement! Many of these new verbs are linked to new technology.An obvious example is the word “fax”．We all got used to sending and receiving faxes，and then soon started talking about faxing something and promising we’d fax it immediately.Then along came emails，and we were soon all emailing each other madly.How did we do without it？I can hardly imagine life without my daily emails. Also，my computer and its software have produced another couple of new verbs.On my computer I can bookmark those pages from the World Wide Web that I think I’ll want to look at again.And I can do the same thing on my PC，but there I don’t bookmark；I favorite—coming from “favorite pages”，so the verb is derived from an adjective not a noun this time. Now my children bought me a mobile phone，known simply as a mobile and I have to learn yet more new verbs.I can message someone，that is，I can leave a message for them on their phone.Or I can text them，write a few words suggesting，when and where to meet，for example.How long will it be before I can mobile them，that is，phone them using my mobile？I haven’t heard that verb yet，but I’m sure I will soon.Perhaps I’ll start using it myself! 4.“I’ll pencil it in my diary” in the second paragraph probably means________. A．it was a firm arrangement B．it was an uncertain arrangement C．the arrangement is written as a diary D．he prefers a pencil to a pen 5．A website address can be easily found if it has been________for the author. A．emailed B．messaged C．favorited D．texted 6．Which of the following has not been used as a verb，yet? A．message B．pencil C．email D．mobile 7．The best title for this passage is“________”． A．New Verbs from Nouns B．New Technology and New words C．The English Language D．Technology and Language  詳解答案 課時作業(yè)(二十四)　 Ⅰ單項填空 1．解析：　根據答語“你的工作干得不夠好，我要開除你”可知，空格處填“我將開門見山地告訴你(I’ll come straight to the point)”。 答案：　A 2．解析：　由句中的However可知，她不能“適應(adapt to)”那兒的快節(jié)奏生活。 答案：　A 3．解析：　根據Where there’s a will there’s a way可知，這里說你“不可能(unlikely)”長久沒有工作或者不成功。unlikely可以以人為主語，后接動詞不定式。impossible通常用于it is impossible (for sb.) to do sth.結構。 答案：　D 4．解析：　句意為：經過多年的努力，我弟弟最終獲得了頂級廚師的“名聲(reputation)”。fortune大筆錢財，巨款；advantage有利條件，優(yōu)點；legend傳奇。 答案：　A 5．解析：　埃拉不能來上班是“由于(due to)”重感冒。up to多達；as for關于；except for除了。 答案：　B 6．解析：　“only＋狀語”位于句首，句子要用部分倒裝，故排除A、B項；同時根據then可知realize所表示的動作發(fā)生在過去某一時間點，故用一般過去時。 答案：　C 7．解析：　根據without knowing what it would cost可知，我們在不知道開支的情況下本不應該同意這項計劃，故選oughtn’t to。 答案：　C 8．解析：　seem后跟動詞時應用動詞不定式， 故排除A、B兩項；根據答語后句“讓我們去看看”可知，有幾個人“好像正在跳舞”。故選C項。seem to be doing sth.好像正在做某事。 答案：　C 9．解析：　考查形容詞辨析。句意為：面對警察，他盡可能想保持鎮(zhèn)靜，但是額頭上的汗水使他暴露無遺。silent沉默不語的；still一動不動的；calm(心情)平靜的；鎮(zhèn)靜的；quiet安靜的。 答案：　C 10．解析：　考查名詞辨析。句意為：“湯姆上周在市中心買了一座新房子?！薄澳遣⒉黄婀帧Ｋ诓傻V業(yè)賺了錢?！眆ortune運氣；命運，財富；make a fortune發(fā)財，賺錢，符合題意。contribution貢獻；reputation名譽，名聲；decision決定。 答案：　D 11．解析：　考查連詞。There is a saying that...有這么一種說法……，有這么一句諺語……，that引導同位語從句。句意為：中國有這么一句諺語“世上無難事，只怕有心人”。 答案：　D 12．解析：　考查動詞辨析。句意為：如果沒有人認領這個丟失的包，發(fā)現(xiàn)包的人可以把它送到失物招領處。claim聲稱；索回；認領；demand要求；require需要；deserve應該得到。 答案：　A 13．解析：　考查情態(tài)動詞。這里表示對過去狀語的推測，用情態(tài)動詞＋have done。從前面的“我不確定她在哪里”可知，用may have done，表示過去可能已經做了；must have done表示過去一定做了；can have done用在否定句和疑問句中；should have done表示過去本該做但實際卻沒做。 答案：　D 14．解析：　考查die的相關短語與語態(tài)。句意為：每年，由于人類的破壞，地球上很多動植物正在滅絕。die out滅絕；die down漸漸消退。這兩個短語都不能用于被動語態(tài)。 答案：　A 15．解析：　句意為：雖然私家車給我們帶來了很多方便，但是它他們也造成了更多的事故和污染。根據語意選擇A，while“雖然”，引導讓步狀語從句。as引導讓步狀語從句時常用部分倒裝形式。 答案：　A Ⅱ.閱讀理解 語篇解讀：　研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，有三分之一的人獨自用餐的次數(shù)比和其他人在一起吃飯的次數(shù)多。人們可以邊吃飯，邊看電視或上網，并不感到孤獨。 1．解析：　細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第一段中的“a lot of us are perfectly happy to eat alone because the computer and TV provide us with solitary entertainment”，即人們在獨自用餐時可以玩電腦或看電視，并不會覺得孤獨，故選C。 答案：　C 2．解析：　詞義猜測題。文章第三段介紹了“suppertainment”的含義，即在獨自用餐的同時通過電視或電腦娛樂，故選B。 答案：　B 3．解析：　推理判斷題。作者在文章第一段說獨自用餐漸成風尚，字里行間透露出作者的贊成態(tài)度，最后一段借用Boyd Hilton的話進一步說明邊獨自吃飯邊娛樂的優(yōu)點。 答案：　C 語篇解讀：　英語中有許多詞匯涉及詞性的活用，本文就介紹了人們在生活中經常將“名詞動詞化”這一現(xiàn)象。 4．解析：　句意猜測題。從文章中第二段的“...You must ink it in...a firm arrangement！”可知，“You must ink it in”表示“這是一個確定的安排”，故畫線部分表示“這是不確定的安排”，所以選B項。 答案：　B 5．解析：　事實細節(jié)題。由文章中第四段的“And I can do the same...I don’t bookmark；I favorite...”可知選C項。 答案：　C 6．解析：　事實細節(jié)題。由文章最后一段的“How long will it be before I can mobile them...”可知mobile尚未被動詞化，所以選D項。 答案：　D 7．解析：　主旨大意題。第一段是本文的主題段，故A項“由名詞轉化而來的新動詞”做標題最合適。 答案：　A 111
