素养：文化意识 难度：中 用时：7 分钟
[多模态语篇·辩论][2024 菏泽郓城一模改编]
Host: As we know, the British have been sending cards since the 19th century. They spend about 1,700,000,000 pounds on cards every year. However, the number of people sending cards and letters is falling. More than 30 percent of UK children have never sent or received a handwritten letter. Should the tradition of sending cards and letters be stopped?
Group A:
We live in a fast-developing world and using snail mail is unnecessary. Making paper uses lots of energy and some cards are hard to recycle. It's bad for the environment. What's more, cards are expensive to buy and to post. Nowadays, we usually use our phones and computers because they are quick, easy and free. Traditional cards and letters are out of date. They are not young people's cup of tea. It's no surprise that most of them end up as litter.
Group B:
The tradition has been around for hundreds of years and should stay. Sending a handwritten letter or carefully chosen card shows that you care. Text messages and emails are quick and easy, but they seem to carry fewer feelings. Sending letters is good for children because it is a chance to practice their writing skills. Also, it's fun! Receiving post makes you feel special and it's important if someone lives far away or is lonely — just imagine a birthday without cards!
1. What's the debate (辩论) mainly about?
A. When the British send cards and letters.
B. Whether the British should keep the tradition.
C. Why the British like sending cards and letters.
D. Where the British keep their cards and letters.
2. 新考法·图文转换题 Which picture can show the meaning of the underlined word "snail"?
3. What does Group B think of sending cards?
A. Free but slow.
B. Fast but expensive.
C. Wasteful and expensive.
D. Important and considerate.
4. 新考法·创新性设问 Which of the following facts directly caused the debate?
A. People have different tools.
B. Fewer people choose to work as postmen.
C. Fewer British people send cards and letters.
D. The British spend too much money on cards and letters.
