答案和解析一、用所給短語的適當形式填空1.competewith2.breakingnewground3.droppedeback5.takenover6.poppingup二、閱讀理解1.D細節理解題。根據第二段中的Theappwillnoticeyouwithalertswhenyouspendmoneyasitwillhelpyououtlinewhatyouhavespentincategorieslikeshopping,bill,foodsandmanymore.可知，如果你在花錢的話，那么Starling將會提醒你一些關于你消費的信息。故選D。2.A推理判斷題。根據第三段中的Thegoodthingaboutthisappisthatitenablesyoutogetmorerewardswhenyouoftenuseit.Thoserewardscanbeusedatyourusuallocalfoodstores.可知，它的獎勵能讓你節省一些錢。故選A。3.B推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的Whenyouarehookedupinanareathatisnotfamiliartoyouandyouareinterestedingettingsomecash,insteadofmovingupanddowninsearchingforthenearestplacetowithdrawsomecash,thisappshouldgiveyoucomfortindoingthat.可知，當你在一個不熟悉的陌生地方又需要取錢時，你可以使用ATMLocator軟件。故選B。三、七選五1.D根據前句Lessonsareoftenpresentedtoentireclassesonchalkboards(orblackboards,astheywereoriginallycalled)usingsticksofchalk.可知，一般老師給全班同學上課都是用粉筆在黑板上進行。D項(那是因為這種做法被證實是既廉價又簡單)承接上句，解釋了用粉筆在黑板上寫字的原因。且D項中的thismethod指前句中的usingsticksofchalk。2.E根據前句Later,artistsofdifferentcountriesandstylesusedchalkmainlyforsketches(素描)可知，后來，不同國家和風格的藝術家使用粉筆作畫。E項(粉筆最初被做成棍狀是為了方便畫家)承接上句。前后句中的artists為原詞復現。3.G根據后句Classsizesbegantoincreaseatthattime.Therefore,teachersneededaconvenientwayofconveyinginformationtomanystudentsatonetime.可知，那時班級規模開始擴大，教師們需要一種便捷的方法把信息同時傳遞給很多學生。G項(粉筆直到19世紀才成為教室里的標配)承接下句。the19thcentury指的就是后文中的thattime。4.B根據前文duringthe20thcentury,theychosethecolorgreen,arguingthatitwaseasierontheeyes可知，出于對眼睛的考慮，20世紀黑板的顏色變成了綠色。B項(黃色成為粉筆的首選顏色)承接自然，黑板顏色的變化導致粉筆顏色選擇的變化，符合邏輯。5.A后文It'sjustthatthedustsettlesfaster.(只不過是粉塵沉降得更快而已)與A項(無塵粉筆仍然會產生粉塵)承接自然。
