河南省南阳市2017-2018学年高一下学期英语期末考试试卷
Have you ever cleaned and organized your increasingly high-tech households, your hard drive, phone or tablet? It's not just stuff. Your privacy needs a cleanup too.
⒈Clean up your browsers（浏览器）
Cookies are blocking everything up and keeping your computer from running fluidly. A free program called CCleaner helps you sort out the cookies and archives（存档）you don't really need. . Cleaner analyses its backlog of information and lists the data that seems unnecessary.
⒉Speed up your smartphone
Most of us already know about e desktops, but what about smartphones? Our phones are essentially handheld computers, and when they overflow with useless information, their operations can also slow down. These aren't necessarily apps, but overburdened call logs, search history, and saved texts.
For Android users, there's 1Tap Cleaner, an app that earns its name. Most of us are surprised by how many updated messages and URLs get archived, a data stream that we will probably never refer to again. Then again, you do want to make sure irreplaceable bits (landmark texts, unsaved photos) survive the deep clean.
⒊
Digital photos are easy to shoot, upload and copy, which is handy in almost every respect, especially if you grew up lugging rolls of film to the one-hour photo lab. The downside is that you may end up with multiple copies of the same picture. If you're shooting with a decent camera, each shot could take 10MG or more of space. This volume adds up.
This is the premise behind Duplicate Photo Fixer, which is designed to filter through your photo collection in search of double takes.
A. Make your photos shine.
B. The app gathers that data in one place, letting you decide what to keep.
C. This aim of this app is to clean your smartphones.
D. Remove redundant images.
E. When you download the app, you can focus on a specific browsers that you would like to clean up.
F. Here are three tools that can help you organize your virtual (and real) environments.
G. The trick is to safely delete redundant photos without losing the original image.
If you're looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, pick up the phone. Not being able to see the other person and the body language can make the chatting difficult. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Here are some tips to guide you through an average phone conversation in English.
1)．Greetings
Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting such as “Hi, how've you been？” or “Nice to hear from you”. Even if you're calling a business contact for a specific purpose, it'd be rude to jump right into business. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}
2)．Getting to the point
There always comes the point where you want to move on from friendly chatting and get down to business. What should you do in this situation? {#blank#}3{#/blank#} However, if you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying “So what can I do for you？”
3)．Interrupting without offence
Sometimes you may happen to be speaking with a very talkative person. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Keep in mind when you'd like to interrupt, and be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I'd like to say something here”．
4)．Closing the call
This can be the trickiest part of the conversation! It may be the time to offer good wishes if it's appropriate. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Sometimes it's easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also remember cleverly saying the word well at the beginning of a sentence can indicate you're ready to end the conversation.
A．Use the phrase “I'm just calling to...” to change to the topic at hand. B．Additionally, you may want to confirm any plans you've made. C．You should make a little small talk at the beginning. D．You'd better greet him or her in a friendly way. E．So it may be difficult to get a word in. F．Practice English through phone calls. G．Never fear, though! |

A. Have a goal B. Set an example C. Don't use three words when one will do D. Start keeping a diary if you don't, or start a blog E. Consider taking on more writing tasks at work F. Stick a new word to each house plant so you can study while watering G. It also pays to create a good habit of guessing what the writer is really trying to say |
Learning how to use new words well will make it easier to learn a language and make you more knowledgeable.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. If you are committed to building your vocabulary, set a goal for yourself. Try to learn three new words a day and use them in your speech and writing. With great efforts, you can learn several thousand new words that you will remember and use.
Write more. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. Actively exercising your writing muscles will keep your vocabulary strong. Write letters to old friends and use lots of specific details. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. If you typically avoid composing memos or writing group emails or participating in group discussions, change your habits and write more. You might as well get paid while you are building your vocabulary.
Use flash cards or post-it notes around your house. If you're going to make a habit of learning new words, try some simple memorization techniques. Hang post-its with the definition of a particular word you hope to memorize above the coffee maker, so you can study it while making your morning cup. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Even if you're watching TV or doing other activities, keep some flash cards with you and study your new words.
Use accurate adjectives and precise nouns. The best writers aim to keep it short and accurate. Get out the dictionaries and use the most accurate words possible in your sentences. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. A word is a useful addition to your vocabulary if it reduces the number of the words in a sentence.

How to Be a Good Tourist
We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You'd better check it out.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Don't go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} If that doesn't sound like you，then give the world a break and stay home.
