Some in the city can't wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include. ‎ ‎“I'd use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a．m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open，” said Walter Choo,40，of Fort Greene. ‎ The smartphonelike glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600，the Times said，possibly including a variation of augmented (增强的) reality，a technology already available on smartphones and tablets (平板电脑) that overlays information onto the screen about one's surroundings. So，for example，if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you. ‎ ‎“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn't something anybody needs，”said Sam Biddle，who writes for Gizmodo. com. “We're accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things，”he added，“and the average consumer isn't gonna be able to afford another device (装置)that's hundreds and hundreds of dollars. ”‎ ‎9 to 5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphonelike glasses since late last year，said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones. ‎ ‎“It's just like smartphones 10 years ago，” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it's 21‎ ‎ unnatural，”he said. “There's gonna be improvements to that，and this is a step there. ”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，题材为科普知识类。这则新闻介绍了Google新推出的智能眼镜。‎ ‎21．One of the possible functions of the smartphonelike glasses is to ________. ‎ A．program the opening hours of a bar B．supply you with a picture of the future C．provide information about your surroundings D．update the maps and GPS in your smartphones 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，该智能眼镜可能具备目前智能手机和平板电脑所具备的技术，即在屏幕上可以显示有关周围环境的信息。‎ ‎22．The underlined phrase “pop up” in the third paragraph probably means “________”．‎ A．develop rapidly B．get round quickly C．appear immediately D．go over automatically 解析：选C　词义猜测题。此处举例说明智能眼镜具备显示周围环境信息的技术。由此推断，“indicators would pop up”最有可能指显示器“会快速显现出信息”，故选C。‎ ‎23．According to Sam Biddle，the smartphonelike glasses are ________. ‎ A．necessary for teenagers B．attractive to New Yorkers C．available to people worldwide D．expensive for average consumers 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句可知，Sam Biddle认为，人们携带一种具有这些功能的智能装置就足够了(例如智能手机或平板电脑)，一般的消费者不可能再花费成百上千美金去买另一种装置。这里的another device指的就是智能眼镜，故答案选D。‎ ‎24．We can learn from the last two paragraphs that the smartphonelike glasses ________. ‎ A．may have a potential market B．are as common as smartphones C．are popular among young adults D．will be improved by a new technology 21‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，Weintraub认为，智能手机接收邮件开始也是不为人们所接受的，智能眼镜最终也会像智能手机那样，被人们所接受和认可。故答案选A。‎ B Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an Sshaped body of water covering 33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets. ‎ ‎“Storm at Sea”， a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind's earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic. ‎ When the wind is from the west All the waves that cannot rest To the east must thunder on Where the bright tree of the sun Is rooted in the ocean's breast. ‎ As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing, and whistling. ‎ It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath—perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics (模仿) nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences，too; unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of subocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要向我们介绍了大西洋富有力量、和谐和多变的自然特点。‎ ‎25．Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is ________. ‎ A．always energetic B．lacking in liveliness C．shaped like a square D．favored by ancient poets 21‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段中“the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness”可知，大西洋充满了活力，故选A项。‎ ‎26．What is the purpose of using the poem“Storm at Sea” in the passage?‎ A．To describe the movement of the waves. ‎ B．To show the strength of the storm. ‎ C．To represent the power of the ocean. ‎ D．To prove the vastness of the sea. ‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。第一段说明了大西洋富有活力的特点后，作者通过一首古诗印证，接着用一句话对诗歌进行了总结：“As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. ”。由此可判断，作者引用诗歌的目的是展现大西洋的力量，故选C项。‎ ‎27．What does the underlined word“symbiotic” mean?‎ A．Living together. ‎ B．Growing fast. ‎ C．Moving harmoniously. ‎ D．Breathing peacefully. ‎ 解析：选A　词义猜测题。根据下文的描述可知，在大西洋生活的大量生物和谐共处，由此可推断symbiotic的意思为“共生的”，故选A项。B. 生长迅速；C. 和谐地移动；D. 平和地呼吸。‎ ‎28．In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to ________. ‎ A．a beautiful and poetic place B．a flesh and blood person C．a wonderful world D．a lovely animal 解析：选B 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的关键词psychology, personalities可知，作者把大西洋比喻成了一个有血有肉有情感的人，故选B项。‎ C It's AOL Jobs Week.

He placed them on a machine used to test the aerodynamics (气体力学) of helicopter blades (桨叶)．Professor Lentink's team used the same machine to test the blades from an advanced microhelicopter used by the UK's army. They found that the microhelicopter's blades are as efficient at hovering as the average hummingbirds. ‎ But while the microhelicopter's blades kept pace with the average hummingbird wings, they could not keep up with the most efficient hummingbird's wing. The wings ‎ 21‎ of Anna's hummingbird were found to be about 27 percent more efficient than the manmade microhelicopter's blades. ‎ While Professor Lentink wasn't surprised at nature's superiority, he said that helicopter blades have come a long way. “The technology is at the level of an average hummingbird，” he said. “A helicopter is really the most efficient hovering device that we can build. The best hummingbirds are still better，but I think it's amazing that we're getting closer. It's not easy to match their performance, but if we build better wings with better shapes, we might match hummingbirds. ”‎ Professor Lentink said that we don't know how hummingbirds maintain their flight in a strong wind, how they navigate through branches, or how they change direction so quickly. He thinks that great steps could be made by studying wing aspect ratios—the ratio of wing length to wing width. Understanding these abilities and characteristics could be a benefit for robotics and will be the focus of future experiments. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇科技报道。科学家们通过研究蜂鸟，发现它们的盘旋飞行技能比先进的直升机还要高，因此他们希望进一步研究以提高直升机的性能。‎ ‎33．What did the scientists find out about hummingbirds?‎ A．Their wings are long and wide. ‎ B．They can hover in the air for a long time. ‎ C．The ratio of their wing length to wing width is very important. ‎ D．They are the most energetic flier in nature. ‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段的内容可知，鸟类的翅膀长度和宽度比例对建造直升机有很大影响。故C项符合文意。‎ ‎34．Which is the right order of Professor Lentink's research?‎ ‎①Tested wings from different species of hummingbirds. ‎ ‎②Got resources from museums. ‎ ‎③Analyzed the results and drew a conclusion. ‎ ‎④Tested the blades from a microhelicopter. ‎ A．①②③④ B．②①③④‎ C．②④①③ D．②①④③‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段内容可知，D项为正确答案。‎ ‎35．According to Professor Lentink, what will be the focus of future experiments?‎ A．To know how hummingbirds can fly in a strong wind. ‎ B．To know how hummingbirds change direction so quickly. ‎ 21‎ C．To develop a new kind of helicopter. ‎ D．To study the secrets of hummingbirds. ‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。由文章最后一段可知，A和B选项表述片面化，C选项为文章中未提及。故正确答案为D。‎ 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Understanding Disabilities There are around 650 million people in the world that have disabilities, yet most people are still quite ignorant (无知的) about it. ‎ ‎1．What do you think of when you see the word，“disability”？‎ Wheelchairs? White sticks? The Paralympics (残奥会)? 36 The legal definition of disability is that someone has a physical or mental impairment that has a great and longterm bad effect on his or her ability to carry out normal daytoday activities. ‎ This affects about 650 million of us, worldwide. 37 Most become disabled during the course of their life. So maybe the term TAB (Temporarily AbleBodied) is better for people who are not disabled, because we may not stay that way forever. ‎ ‎2． 38 ‎ Imagine not being able to see, or not being able to walk. Think of all the things that would be different. How can I get my education? What about my future? Would my friends still want to hang out with me? Will strangers laugh at me in the street? Can I get my own place? What job can I do?‎ Clearly, having a disability can affect many things in a person's life. ‎ ‎3．Disability and the law ‎ 39 It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate (歧视) against someone who is differently abled. The label “disabled” is not always helpful. Even if someone meets the legal definition，they may not see themselves that way. Instead of thinking about what is wrong with those people，or noticing what they can't do, we should look at how we like to live, and try to make it possible for everyone to join in. ‎ After all—what is normal？ 40 But better understanding would be a start. ‎ A．How can the disabled find better jobs?‎ B．How does disability affect people?‎ 21‎ C．People with disabilities don't need pity. ‎ D．Most of us have never really thought about it. ‎ E．We should consider more for people with disabilities. ‎ F．Only 17% of people with a disability are born with it. ‎ G．There are laws to prevent people with disabilities being treated unfairly. ‎ ‎【解题导语】　你对“残疾”这一概念是如何理解的呢？本文告诉我们理解才是对待残疾人最好的方式。‎ ‎36．解析：选D　承接上文第一个小标题的问题，引出下文。‎ ‎37．解析：选F　本段第一句话是总述，后面的内容是对其进行分述。‎ ‎38．解析：选B　下面的内容是对“How does disability affect people？”的回答，因此正确选项为B。‎ ‎39．解析：选G　根据第三个小标题Disability and the law及下一句“It is illegal and extremely unpleasant to discriminate against someone who is differently abled. ”可知正确答案为G选项。‎ ‎40．解析：选C　由下一句“But better understanding would be a start. ”可知正确答案为C。‎ 第三部分　语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节　(共20小题；每小题1. 5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ The concept of solitude (独处)in the digital world is almost nonexistent. In the world of digital technology, email，social networking and online video games, information is meant to be 41 . Solitude can be hard to discover 42 it has been given up. In this respect, new technologies have 43 our culture. ‎ The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a(n) 44 as we've known it. People have become so 45 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 46 they'd rather not be. Today we can talk, text, email, chat and blog (写博客)，not only from our 47 ， but from our mobile phones as well. ‎ Most developed nations have become 48 on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it, and at this point not 49 it would make them an outsider. 50 ， many jobs and careers require people to be 51 . From this point of view, technology has changed the culture of work. Being reachable might feel like ‎ 21‎ a 52 to those who may not want to be able to be contacted at all times. ‎ I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 53 wants it. Computers can be shut 54 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected” and “on” has many 55 ， as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended up 56 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 57 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 58 to unwanted texts. ‎ Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 59 across generations.
