Unit 3Inventors and inventions第一部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分35分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
AHere's a good deed you can do without parting with a single thing.Synthetic (合成的) voices for people who have lost the ability to speak only come in generic (一般的) types —think of Stephen Hawking's voice —but one amazing project wants to build custom voices for each person.To do that they need your help：specifically, a recording of your voice.V ocalID is the brainchild of two speech scientists, who are turning their research into a much larger project.Voice is very personal and, like a prosthetic (假体的) leg or arm, it makes sense it should be customized to each person.Here's how it works — and don't worry, this does not mean someone will be walking around with the same voice as you out there：After recording a couple of hours of audio in, say, a quiet room with an iPhone, you send it to V ocalID, where a program called ModelTalker cuts it up into the basic units of speech that can be recombined as new words and sentences.In that same step, characteristics of the patient's voice —based on what limited sounds they can make — are mixed with the donor's to create a whole new one.V ocalID is still in its beginning stages, and they're looking for help from everyone including voice donors, financial support, and programmers.A priority (优先的事物) is making voice donation even easier, cutting down recording time, especially for kids.But as it stands already, your voice is just about the easiest thing to donate.()1.Stephen Hawking's voice ________.A．has no personal characteristicsB．was donated by a volunteerC．was created by V ocalIDD．sounded amazing()2.We can infer that V ocalID aims to ________.A．do research on voicesB．teach some people to speakC．produce prosthetic legs or armsD．help some people have their “own” voice()3.To create a new voice, which of the following is/are needed?A．Sounds made by the patient.B．A few days of audio recording.C．The voice of at least two donors.D．ModelTalker that can combine words.()4.What is the main purpose of the text?A．To introduce some jobs in V ocalID.B．To encourage readers to donate their voice.C．To advertise a program called ModelTalker.D．To collect money for people who cannot speak.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了如何给不会说话的人捐献声音。

限时规范练38(选修8Unit3)核心素养关键词:培养学生人与社会、发明创造的素养能力意识一、阅读理解A“Garlic coffee” can be good news to coffee-loving pregnant women as a man in northeastern Japan invented the drink that looks and tastes like coffee but is made up entirely of locally grown garlic.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” said 75-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai,who was a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture.“It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”Shimotai,who started the drink’s sale in January 2017,said the drink was accidentally made from a cooking mistake about 30 years ago,when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at his shop.He mashed (捣烂) the burnt garlic with a spoon and mixed it with hot water.When he drank it,he was surprised at its “coffee-like taste” with bitterness.Shimotai began researching the drink after retirement,aimed at turning it into a product.After repeating trials and errors on the best way to make it,he created a “coffee” he can be satisfied with about six years ago by using an electric furnace (火炉) to roast the garlic.After cooling it,the garlic is mashed up.Shimotai took a patent on the method in 2015,and opened a workshop in neighboring Iwate Prefecture.While his drink has a pleasant smell of roasted garlic,it will not cause bad breath because it is carefully and fully roasted,according to Shimotai.The drink is now available at two souvenir shops in Aomori Prefecture,or by ordering by telephone.A packet containing one cup of garlic coffee costs 324 yen ($2.8).Orders can be made with his workshop called Techno Baisen Kobo at 0195(37)1999 in the city of Ninohe,Iwate Prefecture.1.What makes “garlic coffee” special?A.It isn’t bitter at all.B.It is caffeine-free.C.It doesn’t taste like coffee.D.It is especially good for night workers.2.What led to Shimotai’s invention of “garlic coffee”?A.A cooking mistake.B.The market competition.C.Pregnant women’s demand.D.His love for garlic and coffee.3.Where is “garlic coffee” produced?A.At Shinotai’s home.B.At Shimotai’s coffee shop.C.At Techno Baisen Kobo in Iwate Prefecture.D.At two souvenir shops in Aomori Prefecture.4.What is the purpose of this text?A.To encourage invention.B.To advertise “garlic coffee”.C.To introduce “garlic coffee”.D.To praise Yokitomo Shimotai.BEveryone knows chameleons (变色龙) can change color,but why do they do it? Suppose you were given these three options:(a) to match with their surroundings,(b) to get a mate,or (c) to impress humans.Most people would choose (a).But the real answer is (b).It’s not a hard-and-fast rule:there is evidence that the colorful changes of some chameleons can be a disguise.For instance,the small-sized chameleon Bradypodion taeniabronchum seems to match its surroundings more closely when facing an enemy with better color vision.For most chameleons,however,changing color is all about getting a mate.In their natural environment,most chameleons match with their surroundings pretty well,says ecologist Kristopher Karsten of California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks.So when they change color,they tend to make themselves easier topeting males will often battle it out with a color-change fight.The color-change process doesn’t work the way you might expect it to either.Most of us would think it is achieved by some kind of pigments (色素).But a study published in March 2015 suggests that the color changes have nothing to do with chemistry at all.Instead,it turns out there are some nanocrystals (纳米晶体) within the chameleon’s cells.By changing the positions of these crystals,the chameleon can show different shades of color.It’s not just about how chameleons look.They are also unusually good at using their eyes.In a neat study published in July 2015,zoologists showed chameleons two objects that moved around a computer screen.The chameleons were able to split their vision,each eye independently focusing on a different object.Eventually,the chameleons seemed to make a choice,both eyes locking onto the same target.This way they could do a better job of judging how far away the objects were — and thus how far to shoot out their tongues.All that said,there is a lot that we still don’t know about chameleons.5.Why does Bradypodion taeniabronchum change color?A.To hunt food.B.To cheat its enemies.C.To make itself disappear.D.To attract human’s attention.6.How do male chameleons compete with each other for a mate?A.By changing color.B.By staring at each other.C.By fighting with each other.D.By matching with their surroundings.7.How do chameleons change color?A.By producing more nanocrystals.B.By using different kinds of pigments.C.By changing the positions of their cells.D.By changing the positions of their nanocrystals.8.What is special about chameleons’ eyes?A.They can tell different colors.B.They can see objects from a long distance.C.They can notice objects on a computer screen.D.They can focus on two objects at one time.二、完形填空Alonzo Johnson stopped.He decided to help a(n)1 elderly man down an escalator (自动扶梯) in a Massachusetts shopping mall last week,2 the 23-year-old could never have predicted that his simple,random act of kindness would win him the 3 of thousands of people online.An old man4 at the top of an escalator and a few people started gathering 5 to get on.It was clear he was feeling 6 as to whether to step on to the escalator or not.Johnson spotted the senior citizen hesitating and 7 the simplest kindness.He reached outa(n) 8 and asked with a smile on his face,“Can I help you,sir?”The old man quietly started to9 to the young man that he had gotten stuck on an escalator once and was a little 10.The young man gently offered his assurance,they 11 each other eye to eye for just a

me.She knows how to make me smile and at the same time knows how to make me behave me.Most important,she always does what she can to help me particularly when I am in the trouble.On a sad day I will

Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解[2022·石家庄市高三模拟考试(二)]As carmakers push ahead with selfdriving vehicles, an Austrian aerospace company and its Chinese partner showed off their pilotless “flying taxi〞 for the first time in Europe on Thursday.The drone (无人驾驶飞机) hummed loudly as it rose above the ground at Vienna's Generali Arena, home to soccer club FK Austria Wien. The slim plane, which weighs 750 pounds, circled in the air briefly and came down within a few minutes.The EHang 216, which can seat two passengers, has been tested comprehensively and is essentially ready for mass production, said Derrick Xiong, cofounder of Chinese drone maker EHang. The drone can fly at up to 150 km per hour for almost half an hour, FACC AG Chief Executive Officer Rober t Machtlinger said. “It can travel between 50 and 70 kilometers depending on the load.〞 The passenger capsule is small, with leg room that taller passengers might find less than adequate, an Austrian photographer who took part in a demonstration (演示) flight told Reuters.Joining the race for new autonomous aircraft services that do not require runways, EHang entered a strategic partnership last year with Austria's FACC AG, owned by Chinese aerospace group AVIC, aiming to offer shortdistance services for pa ssengers, industrial equipment and urgent medical deliveries. FACC AG says it has already received several thousand orders for the $336,000 drone, with the highest demand in China. Competitors working toward offering autonomous flying cars early in the next decade range from aerospace company Airbus to Uber and AeroMobil.“Technically ... urban mobility, flying without a pilot, is possible. It's not a dream，〞said Machtlinger. “What is stopping us from going into larger volumes (量) is regulation，〞 he added. “A future legal framework for autonomous flying vehicles should regulate communication with other planes and helicopters and provide traffic rules，〞 he said. Austria supports international efforts to quickly establish the necessary regulation, said transport minister Norbert Hofer. He hopes that Austria will be the place where thousands of these air taxis will be built and that very soon we will see a lot of these air taxis in the air.1．What stage of development is the EHang 216 at?A．It's being tested comprehensively.B．It's ready for mass production.C．It's ready for demonstration flights.D．It's being adapted to customer demands.2．What do we know about the EHang 216?A．Its maximum load is 750 pounds.B．It can carry two passengers.C．It can fly for almost an hour.D．It can travel over 70 kilometers.3．What is a big barrier to a wider use of flying taxis?A．Technical problems.B．Objection of the government.C．Lack of related rules.D．Competition between aerospace companies.4．How does the author introduce the EHang 216?A．By comparing it with similar products.B．By explaining how it works.C．By providing specific data of it.D．By demonstrating its multifunctions.Ⅱ.七选五[2022·沈阳监测一]Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year〞 must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. __1__. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.Don't force cheerAt family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response —no drama, no conflict. But a 2022 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. __2__.Let out sadnessThe results of the busdriver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to controlthem. __3__. We don't like contradictory behavior.Respond cautiouslyRecently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. __4__. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.__5__Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall wellbeing. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don't forget to give yourself a break.A．Relax your mindB．Enjoy a mix of emotionsC．We tend to deny the important function emotionsserveD．Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy lifeE．So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effectsF．A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experienceG．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel insideⅢ.完形填空[2022·洛阳市第二次统考]On Dec. 6, Kelsey Zwick boarded Flight 588 from Orlando to Philly with Lucy, one of her 11monthold twin daughters.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(2014·四川省广元市第一次高考适应性统考)BEIJING－The Chinese economy has shown positive signs of stabilizing (稳定)，but it’s hard to judge what it will be next year，governor of China’s central bank said on Thursday.Zhou Xiaochuan，governor of the People’s Bank of China，made the remarks on a panel discussion with delegates from the financial field to the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China，which opened here on Thursday morning.China’s economic momentum (推进力) will depend on not only domestic conditions，but also changes brought by the global financial crisis，said Zhou，who is also a CPC delegate to the national congress.“It has become increasingly clear that the Chinese economy is now moving towards a better direction，”he said.Due to the impact of the debt crisis in Europe，China’s economy began slowing this year.The Chinese economy expanded only 7.4 percent yearonyear in the third quarter of 2012，marking a downturn for seven straight quarters，the National Bureau of Statistics of China said.As the government adopted a series of fiscal(财政的) and monetary measures and speeded up the approvals of investment projects to spur the slowing economy，the domestic economy has stabilized since September with better indicators，Zhou said.He said it’s hard to judge how the global financial crisis will continue to affect the Chinese economy，because the spreading of the European debt crisis and the socalled fiscal cliff problem in the United States have increased uncertainties of the world economy.“We need to monitor the effect on our economy of the monetary，easing policies launched recently by the United States and the European Union，”he said.China is likely to maintain the policy continuity to some extent in 2013，but will leave enough room to make the policy targeted and flexible.【文章大意】本文主要报道了中国经济的增长数据、增长减缓的原因、世界经济形势对中国经济的影响以及中国政府所采取的政策。

Unit 3 Inventors and inventionsⅠ.阅读理解(2018·福建福州八县一中第二次月考)Three Chilean students got the i dea for a plant-powered device to charge their cellphones,while sitting in their school’s outdoor courtyard during a break from exams,with dead mobile phones.The n,one of them had an “aha” moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plan ts,” said inventor EvelynAravena.“There are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy;why don’t they have a charging outlet?”Their invention —a small biological circuit (生物电路板) called E-Kaia—takes advantage of the energy plants produce during photosynthesis (光合作用).A plant uses only a small amount of that energy—the rest goes into the soil,and that’s where the E-Kaia collects it.The device literally plugs into the ground and then into your phone.“They brought the prototype;the prototype worked—and that’s when it all changed.It’s the most amazing project I’ve ever seen in my life,plain andsimple,but it was transformational.And I began to support them,” said Ma uricio Cifuentes of Duoc University.The device solved two problems for the engineering students—they needed an idea for a class project and an outlet to plug in their phones.“Looking for a place to charge the mobile phones and the notebook that had noe nergy,we weren’t able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,” said Aravena.But plants are everywhere,and the biological circuit uses their excesspower.“There is a complete energy cycle of the plant.We decided to incorporate into the cycle,and then we would not affect the plant’s growth.The biological circuit makes an acquisition and that is transformed into energy to later make charges for low consumption,” said in ventor Camila Rupcich.The E-Kaia doesn’t carry much charge,but it’s powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patent on their technology,and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December.1.According to the text,the E-Kaia .A.should be put into a mobile phoneB.may slightly affect the plant’s growthC.collects the energy plants produce from the soilD.consumes several hours to charge a mobile phone2.The underlined word “prototype” in Para.4 can be replaced by “”.A.original modelB.outdoor plantC.mobile phoneD.key concept3.The invention of the plant-powered device shows that.A.good things require timeB.wisdom is better than strengthC.necessity is the mother of inventionD.God helps those who help themselves4.What is the main idea of the text?A.Photosynthesis brings plants energy.B.There are efficient ways to charge phones.C.The energy cycle of the plant is quite powerful.D.Chilean students find a green way to charge phones.〚导学号23280152〛Ⅱ.七选五阅读Secret codes (密码)keep messages private.Banks,companies,and government agencies use secret codes in doing business,especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 1 Code breaking never lags (落后) far behind code making.The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are three main types of cryptography. 2 For example,the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”3 You might represent each letter with a number,for example.Let’s number the letters of the alphabet,in order,from 1 to 26.If we substitute a number for each letter,the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.”A code uses symbols to replace words,phrases,or sentences.To read the message of a real code,you must have a code book. 4 For example,“bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” wouldactually mean “Meet me.” 5 However,it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long.So codes must be changed frequently.A.It is very hard to break a code without the code book.B.In any language,some letters are used more than others.C.Only people who know the keyword can read the message.D.As long as there have been codes,people have tried to break them.E.You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.F.With a code book,you might write down words that would stand for other words.G.Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.〚导学号23280153〛Ⅲ.短文改错(2018·福建福州八县一中第二次月考)In order to be successful,you should first of all never give up whatever happen.If you fail,you should never lose heart.In the contrary,you must build up your confidence or work even harder.You should always remember that working hard was the key to success.Besides,you should pay a great attention to your working methods.That is necessary for you to

capable of transporting 12 people at once.It uses I BM’s “Watson” system,pulling vast amounts of data on its surroundings from a variety of sources.For example,if you use the car enough it could eventually figure out your general path to work every morning.If you’re running late one day —or Watson uses weather data to figure out that it’s about to rain,or that traffic will get worse—Olli might tell you there’s no time for coffee.Ask it when you’ll arrive at your destination and it can answer.The vehicle will be available to the public in National Harbor at “select times” this ter this year,it will be used in Florida’s Miami-Dade County and Las Vegas.Much has been said about Google’s driverless car prototype(模型)—but Jay Rogers,CEO of Local Motors,a small experimental car maker,says there’s a proble m with the Google’s business model.“Google doesn’t make cars,”he explained.While that’s not strictly true—the company does have its own self-driving car prototype—Google is working withtradition al automakers like Fiat Chrysler to get its vehicles on public roads.But driverless cars aren’t legal in every state.“A company like Fiat Chrysler won’t put out vehicles they can’t sell everywhere,”Rogers said.Rogers believes Local Motors is nimble enough to be an industry leader.The company designed Olli in 2020 and officially approved the project in March,2021.Three months later,with IBM,they have a working vehicle in Maryland.We’re a long way away from having Olli everywhere,of course,but Rogers says Local Motors’ major problem is legislation,not technology.They’re already equipped to produce and deliver the cars wherever there’s demand—though it’s a small company,so don’t expect too many of them.1.What’s Olli’s major feature?A.It is an electric vehicle.B.It doesn’t need a driver.C.It can take 12 people at once.D.It can communicate with passengers.2.What does Rogers think of Google’s driverless cars?A.They will be Olli’s strong competitors.B.They can’t be driven on public roads.C.They have a big technical problem.D.They won’t be mass-produced.3.What does the underlined word “nimble” in the text mean?A.Able to adapt easily.B.Able to act quickly.C.Fully developed.D.Highly creative.4.Why will Olli not appear in great numbers?A.Because it is still in the testing stage.B.Because many people can’t a fford to buy it.C.Because Local Motors has low

things.Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets.She wondered:“What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?”Working with her father in their garage,the 16-year-old came up with several ideas.Finally,she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!She calls the device iCPooch.“The dog doesn’t have to answer thecall,”explains Brooke.“It comes up immediately on the screen on its end.It’s atwo-way audio and video—you can see and hear each other.”With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle-school students.These finalist s,selected based on their s hort video presentations,are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St.Paul,Minn.After Martin’s video put her among the 10 finalists in the Discovery Education3M Young Scientist Challenge,she was paired with Delony Langer-Anderson,a productde velop ment scientist in 3M’s consumer health care division.“I just lead her down the product development path,”Langer-Anderson told LiveScience.This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product,which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog’s end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate.“One thing I have thought about a lot is,what happens if while the device is on the floor,what if your dog knocks it over,or scratches the screen?”Martin said.She and Langer-Anderson dis cussed this,and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floor to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.The finalists create models they can test,with the guidance from a mentor.Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or nger-Anderson tries to help the students work through the

多年来作者都是通过电话与旅行代理人联系，觉得对方说话的声音冷冰冰的。
但是有一次订机票的时候作者亲自来到代理人的办公室，发现自己先前的判断是错误的。
1. A．accepted B．noticedC．heard D．met解析：选D。
上下文语境题。
根据上文的have formed impressions of you，on your desk 和下文的sometimes from hundreds of miles away，only by phone，再结合全文可知that little device是指电话，由此可判断选D项：他们从来没有见到(meet)过你。
accept接受；notice注意；hear听说；meet遇见。
2．A.came B．movedC．ran D．developed解析：选A。
上下文语境题。
他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时是来自数百英里之外。
come from“来自”，符合语境。
come来；move移动；run跑；develop开发，培养。
3．A.Thus B．YetC．Then D．Indeed解析：选B。
上下文语境题。
前文提到“他们对你的了解全部通过这台装置，有时来自数百英里远的地方”，本空用副词yet表示转折含义：可是他们觉得他们能够了解你……thus因此；yet然而；then随后，那么；indeed的确，确实。
4. A．rather B．alsoC．just D．already解析：选C。
上文语境题。
前文说他们没见过你，他们有时离你数百英里远，这里用just 表示“仅仅；只是”，此处指“但是他们觉得只需要听到你的声音就能了解你”。
rather 很，非常；also也，还；just仅仅；already已经。
5. A．telephone B．voiceC．connection D．impression解析：选A。
上下文语境题。
本题很容易因为前文中的the sound of your voice而错选B项“voice”，但是文章开头说到“that little device”，因此这里讲的是“你书桌上的那台小装置”，下文也提到only by phone和travel through wires，因此本题选A 项“电话”。
telephone电话；voice嗓音；connection联系；impression印象。
6. A．direct B．usefulC．easy D．accurate解析：选D。
下文语境题。
通读下文可知，作者开始时因为瑞妮在电话里的声音很冷淡而生气，但见面后，却发现她是个wonderful lady，因此该空选accurate“准确的”，此处是说(电话是)强大的，但不总是准确的。
direct直接的；useful有用的；easy容易的；accurate准确的。
7. A．in person B．by myselfC．in public D．on purpose解析：选A。
上文语境题。
in person表示“亲自”，never met in person与上文的faceless相呼应。
in person亲自；by oneself独自；in public公开地；on purpose故意地。
8. A．annoyed B．interestedC．discouraged D．confused解析：选A。
上文语境题。
作者的这个旅行代理人总能给他最低价格(rockbottom prices)，但是她冷冰冰的声音让作者不开心，根据语境可知选A项“annoyed”。
annoyed 生气的；interested感兴趣的；discouraged沮丧的；confused困惑不解的。
9. A．promote B．trainC．find D．know解析：选C。
上文语境题。
作者对瑞妮冷冰冰的语气很是气恼，有时希望另外找个代理人。
promote提升；train训练；find找到；know知道。
10．A.arrange B．postponeC．confirm D．book解析：选D。
下文语境题。
由下文的a family emergency可知，作者家中有急事，需要马上坐飞机回家，故选book“预订”。
arrange安排；postpone推迟；confirm证实；book 预订。
11. A．for the first time B．at any timeC．from time to time D．in good time解析：选A。
上文语境题。
上文提到，作者之前与瑞妮从来没有见过面，因此这里选for the first time“第一次”。
for the first time第一次；at any time随时；from time to time不时，偶尔；in good time及早，有足够的时间。
12. A．expecting B．seeingC．testing D．avoiding解析：选B。
下文语境题。
作者跑到瑞妮的办公室，坐在桌旁的瑞妮看到(see)作者着急的样子就跳了起来，满是同情。
expect期待；see看见；test检测；avoid避免。
13．A.shy B．comfortingC．familiar D．forced解析：选B。
上文语境题。
根据上文中madness可知作者很着急，因此这里用comforting“令人欣慰的”；她给了我一个令人欣慰的微笑。
shy腼腆的；comforting令人安慰的；familiar熟悉的；forced勉强的。
14. A．bill B．formC．ticket D．list解析：选C。
上文语境题。
上文提到作者家里有急事，需要立即坐飞机回去(an immediate flight home)，因此此处说的是给作者打印飞机票(ticket)。
bill账单；form表格；ticket 票；list清单。
15. A．hopefully B．disappointedlyC．gratefully D．regretfully解析：选C。
上文语境题。
作者遇到这么热心的旅行代理人，当然是心存感激(gratefully)。
hopefully有希望地；disappointedly失望地；gratefully感激地；regretfully遗憾地。
16. A．careful B．seriousC．nervous D．pleasant解析：选D。
下文语境题。
此处应与下文的a big smile，waving to wish me a safe trip 相呼应，故用pleasant“令人愉悦的”。
careful仔细的；serious严肃的；nervous紧张的；pleasant愉悦的。
17．A.amused B．worriedC．helpless D．speechless解析：选D。
上下文语境题。
作者想到自己当初对瑞妮的错误判断，而眼前的瑞妮是那么热心，因此一时竟不知道该说什么(speechless)了。
amused逗乐的；worried担心的；helpless无助的；speechless说不出话的。
18．A.calm B．niceC．proud D．clever解析：选B。
