　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　You don't need to get in a time­traveling machine to see how technology will reshape our lives, such as the way we shop. Several new technologies that are to change your buying habits already exist. Let's see what's in store for your future shopping.

　　Try it on, virtually (虚拟地). Want to shop online for a new pair of eyeglasses? You don't need to guess which pair looks best on you — use the eBay Fashion iPhone app (程序) to try a pair of eyewear you're checking out on a picture of your face. But what if you want to buy something bigger? Thanks to Microsoft Kinect's motion tracking camera, you can cover clothes on your screen body. You can even choose the background of your virtual fitting room to enrich your shopping experience.

　　Get a perfect, custom fit. Everyone's body is shaped differently. To get a perfect fit, you sometimes have to get your clothes changed.

　　But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly. Some companies scan your body using High­tech to get the most accurate measurements, so they can make special clothes just for you.

　　High­tech shopping carts and checkout counters. High­tech shopping carts could, in time, be a common sight in malls and supermarkets. Microsoft Kinect­enabled carts are currently under test.

　　The cart can follow you along the aisles (通道), controlled merely by your movement and your voice. In China, a supermarket chain introduced tablet­equipped carts that guide shoppers around the stores' aisles.

　　In the United States, several supermarkets use a device called Scan It that gives buyers the freedom to scan purchases on their own while they shop. While it's great not having to line up at a checkout counter, we wouldn't mind it if the store used Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner. The machine identifies a product as soon as it's placed in front of a camera just by its shape and color, even if it has no bar code.

　　1.What's the best title for this text?

　　A．Object Recognition Scanner.

　　B．The eBay Fashion iPhone app.

　　C．3D scanning technology.

　　D．Microsoft Kinect­enabled carts.

　　解析：选C　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“But by using 3D scanning technology, all the clothes you buy will fit your body perfectly.”可知，3D扫描技术最精确，答案C符合文意。

　　3．The Object Recognition Scanner can identify a product more quickly by ________.

　　A．the customer's voice

　　B．its shape and color

　　C．the customer's movement

　　D．the bar code on it

　　解析：选B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的最后一句可知，此处the machine指的是Toshiba's new Object Recognition Scanner，故答案B符合文意。

　　4．What can we infer from this text?

　　A．Checkout counters will disappear from supermarkets in future.

　　B．Buyers can use Scan It to go around the supermarket by themselves.

　　C．High­tech shopping carts will be widely used in malls and supermarkets.

　　D．The new technologies are only dreams that are impossible to come true.

　　Ⅳ.短文写作

　　(2017·湖北七市高三联考)请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。

　　We can go as far as we think. The great minds, more often than not, think more and have more aggressive ideas of their life than ordinary people.

　　注意：①无须写标题；

　　②除诗歌外，文体不限；

　　③文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称；

　　参考范文：

　　What we think is our direction and a goal of advancement. It guides us and makes us know what we really want and where we go. Then we spare our efforts to take active steps to make our dreams come true.

　　For example, Thomas Edison had a dream. He dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by electricity, and began where he stood to put his dream into action. Despite

　　more than ten thousand failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality! And today, his dream lights up the world at night.
