The sight of warmly dressed poles caught recently the attention of the locals, who stopped to click pictures to share on social media.‎ Every year, Tara Atkins collects warm clothing from her community in order to give the less fortunate. This year, she took to Facebook to call for donations and the response was strong—their front porch (门厅)was filled with bags of clothes. Since the family was traveling to Halifax on November 15 with their daughter Jayda and seven of her friends to celebrate her 8th birthday, Tara decided it was the perfect time to teach the children a valuable life lesson.‎ The kids spent time handing out coats to the homeless they met on the streets and tied the rest around lamp posts for others to pick up. According to Tara, the experience helped the children better understand the difficult situation of homeless people having to confront the severe winter on the streets.‎ ‎ There is no way to be sure that the coats left hanging on lamp poles were actually picked up by the homeless, but Tara says she isn’t too worried about that. By next morning, all the jackets and scarves on the poles were gone. Photographs of the inspiring project have been shared about 8,000 times on Facebook, and got over 10,000 likes. Tara, who did something similar in Toronto in December last year, says she’s already planning next year’s coat drive. She’s hoping to spread the word well ahead of time, so more people can contribute. And she also wants to add $5 fast food gift cards so the recipients (接受者)can also enjoy a hot meal. “We’ve had help from others when we were in need, and we knew how great it made us feel,” said Zachary Atkins, Tara’s husband.‎ ‎4.How did the locals respond at the sight of the warmly dressed poles?‎ A.They got confused.‎ - 9 -‎ B.They were annoyed.‎ C.They took photos and spread the news.‎ D.They unwrapped and put on the clothes.‎ ‎5.Why did Tara Atkins go to Halifax on November 15? ‎ A.To go sightseeing.‎ B.To celebrate Jayda’s birthday.‎ C.To collect warm clothing for the homeless.‎ D.To spend the holiday with her family.‎ ‎6.What does the underlined word “confront” in Paragraph 3 mean?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Face.　　 B.Discuss.　　 C.Enjoy.　　 D.Describe.‎ ‎7.What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A.Tara is sure that the coats will be picked up by the homeless.‎ B.People responded warmly to the photographs on Facebook.‎ C.Tara is appealing to the government to donate.‎ D.Zachary Atkins is against what Tara has done.‎ 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文为记叙文,介绍了由Tara Atkins带领孩子们所做的善举,即把收集到的衣服系在灯杆上,让那些无家可归者能拿来使用。‎ ‎4.C　细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The sight of warmly dressed poles caught recently the attention of the locals, who stopped to click pictures to share on social media.”(……停下来开始拍照并将照片发到社交媒体上。)可知答案为C项(拍照并把此消息传播出去)。‎ ‎5.B　细节理解题。本题题干意为:为什么塔拉·阿特金斯在11月15日去哈利法克斯市?根据第二段第三句“Since the family was traveling to Halifax on November 15 with their daughter Jayda and seven of her friends to celebrate her 8th birthday”可知答案为B项(庆祝女儿Jayda的生日)。‎ ‎6.A　词义猜测题。本题题干意为:第三段中的画线词“confront”的意思是什么?根据画线词前面的“the experience helped the children better understand the difficult situation ‎ - 9 -‎ of homeless people having to confront the severe winter on the streets”可推知答案为A项(面对)。‎ ‎7.B　推理判断题。本题题干意为:从最后一段我们可以推断出什么?根据最后一段中的“Photographs of the inspiring project have been shared about 8,000 times on Facebook, and got over 10,000 likes.”(这件鼓舞人心的事的照片在脸书上被分享了约八千次,获得了一万多个赞)可推知答案为B项(人们对脸书上的那些照片反应强烈)。‎ C ‎(2019湖北八校第二次联考)‎ A woman grasped her phone to her heart the way a minister might hold a Bible. She was anxious to take a picture of a bunch of flowers that sat not 10 feet away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular annual events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. For the 34th year, artists were asked to create bunches of flowers that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s time to take a photo to post on Instagram, but to the point that it has become a problem.‎ In recent years, the de Young has received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones had ruined their experience. In fact, institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge draw for museums as well as something that upsets some of their visitors. So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carrying out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.‎ One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A recent study in the journal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this; it found that people who took photos of an exhibit rather than simply observing it had a harder time remembering what they saw. But the issue is complicated for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing communications and visitor experiences, ‎ - 9 -‎ acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”, yet a lot of other people do. And she thinks that the de Young is in no position to judge that one motivation for buying a $28 ticket is more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.” If this is a battle, signs indicate that the cell phone lovers have already won.‎ ‎8.What were the crowd eager to do in Paragraph 1?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.To hold a Bible. B.To admire flowers.‎ C.To take a photo. D.To see the exhibition.‎ ‎9.How did the de Young respond to the complaints?‎ A.By setting periods without photo taking.‎ B.By making the exhibition free of charge.‎ C.By compromising with other institutions.‎ D.By giving extra time to take photos freely.‎ ‎10.What can we infer about the use of social media in museums according to the recent study?‎ A.It uncovers the truth. B.It accumulates evidence.‎ C.It causes complaints. D.It plays a negative role.‎ ‎11.Which of the following may Linda Butler support?‎ A.Catering to visitors.‎ B.Reducing admission prices.‎ C.Reserving judgement in public.‎ D.Banning social media and photography.‎ 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　本文介绍了一家博物馆收到了很多人的抱怨,抱怨者们纷纷称手机已经破坏了他们的看展体验。事实上拍照的欲望成了一些人去博物馆的巨大动力,也成了另外一些顾客心烦的原因。于是,该博物馆采取了一个折中的办法:在展期内实行“无拍照”时间。‎ ‎8.C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的She was anxious to take a picture of a bunch of flowers... a crowd of others pushing to do the same.可知,人们非常渴望拍照,故选C。‎ ‎9.A　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise: carrying out “photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day - 9 -‎ ‎ run.可知,面对人们的抱怨,博物馆采取了一个折中的办法:在展期内实行“无拍照”时间,故选A。‎ ‎10.D　推理判断题。根据第三段第一句One common complaint in the ongoing debates over the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them.可知,在社交媒体对博物馆文化产生的影响的持续争论中,一个常见的抱怨是,人们似乎错过了体验,因为他们忙于收集证据,也就是社交媒体的使用在参观博物馆的过程中起到了消极的作用,故选D项。‎ ‎11.A　推理判断题。根据第三段倒数第二句“If we removed social media and photography,” she says, “we would risk becoming less popular.”可知,Linda Butler认为,如果限制使用社交媒体和拍照,博物馆可能变得不那么受欢迎。由此可知,Linda Butler认为博物馆要迎合游客,故选A项。‎ D ‎(2019四川教考联盟三诊)‎ ‎ A new Magic Bench designed by Disney Research lets you interact (互动) with lovely animated (动画的) characters—and no special glasses or earphones are required. Instead, the complete environment—the seat, the sitter and the cartoon characters—is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.‎ How does the illusion work? A camera and a sensor catch images and gather depth information about physical objects, the bench and the person. And then a computer translates them into the 3D animations. Meanwhile sensors of touch built into the bench deliver shaking that is happening at the same time and speed to animated actions on the screen, creating the illusion that the animated figures are occupying real-world space next to the user.‎ ‎“Our goal for this project was: hear a character coming, see them enter the space, and feel them sit next to you,” said Moshe Mahler, principal digital artist at Disney Research. Unlike the traditional mobile technology, one of whose limitations is that only a single user can see its illusion;the Magic Bench allows groups of people to gather in a single environment and collectively participate in an augmented-reality (扩充实境) experience, all at the same time.‎ - 9 -‎ In a video show, a small cartoon donkey runs into view and kicks the bench, causing sharp sounds and making the seated person jump in surprise. Another test shows two people on the bench, reacting as they feel an animated rabbit skip up beside them and jump up and down. When a user passes his hand over the rabbit, a shadow moves across its head, as though it were occupying the same physical space as the person next to it.‎ ‎12.What does the Magic Bench need to work properly?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　‎ A.Special glasses. B.Earphones.‎ C.A mirror. D.A screen.‎ ‎13.What does the underlined word “illusion” in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A.The shaking that is happening.‎ B.The 3D animations on the screen.‎ C.The figures about physical objects.‎ D.The interaction with animated figures.‎ ‎14.How’s the Magic Bench different from the traditional technology?‎ A.Its fantasy can be seen only by a single user.‎ B.It is designed to create more animated characters.‎ C.It allows many people to experience the fantasy together.‎ D.Its user and the animated character occupy the same space.‎ ‎15.Which is the best title of the text?‎ A.Magic Bench Puts You in the Picture B.Audience Become Cartoon Characters C.Entertainment Industry Enters a New Stage D.Disney’s Cartoon Figures Come into Reality 答案　‎ ‎[语篇解读]　迪士尼公司设计出了一种新的“魔法椅”。坐上这种椅子后不需要使用特殊眼镜或耳机,就可以让你与动画角色互动。‎ ‎12.D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句:...is mirrored on a screen opposite the bench making it possible for others to watch the scene unfold.(……被反射到座椅对面的屏幕上,让人们看到场景展开。)可知,所需要的东西就是一个屏幕。故选D项。‎ - 9 -‎ ‎13.D　词义猜测题。本段句意:这种错觉是如何产生的?摄像机和传感器捕捉图像,收集关于椅子及人的深度信息。然后由电脑把它们转换成3D动画。与此同时,内置在椅子里的触摸传感器可以将震动同时传送到屏幕上,从而产生动画人物占据使用者旁边真实空间的错觉。由句意可知答案为D项:与动画人物的互动。‎ ‎14.C　细节理解题。第三段最后一句话句意:它不像传统的移动技术,传统的移动技术有局限性,其中之一就是只有一个用户可以看到它的错觉,“魔法椅”允许一群人聚集在一个环境中,并在同一时间集体参与扩充实境体验。故选C项。‎ ‎15.A　主旨大意题。本文讲述的是迪士尼公司设计的“魔法椅”可以使人与动画角色互动。故选A项。‎ - 9 -‎
