Topic 1 Computers (Book 2·Unit 3) [主课文晨读] WHO AM I? Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. I was made smaller. First as a PC (personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s. These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely gave me a family connected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web. Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality.

But first he needed to get through high school. Then he needed to apply for college. At one time, Adan shared one bedroom with six others while his father worked long hours as a custodian (看门人) and his mother held parttime jobs to help feed the family. Unlike many other students in America there was no Internet in his apartment, and too often no electricity. To complete homework requiring online access, he would walk late at night, after sports practices, to a McDonald's or Starbucks to catch enough of WiFi signals to finish his homework on a borrowed laptop. When he had to research and apply for college, he hit the streets in search of a signal that didn't have a password attached to it. Fortunately, Adan was resourceful, hardworking and patient to jump over this_gap_in_technology which traps many other poor youths. In today's digital world, students can't learn as well without the Internet. Going forward into tomorrow, there will only be a bigger gap between the Internet haves and the havenots. As the havenots continue to struggle to keep up, our entire educational system will also struggle to keep up globally and later our workforce will struggle, too. And that's an even bigger problem in the near future. Recently, Adan has graduated from Georgetown University decorated with national awards, captain of the boxing team, and has engaged over 10,000 youths through his Si Se Puede Network. Yes, this is his story. And now we need to change it so others can have the same happy ending without as many struggles in the story. 语篇解读:现在的高中生做家庭作业需要使用因特网,但是很多学生因贫穷无法使用因特网。 1.From Paragraph 2 we can learn that Adan Gonzalez ________.

We've put together a list of some of the most amazing medical breakthroughs made possible with 3D printing. LifeSaving Airway In 2013, doctors created a new airway for Kaiba Gionfriddo, a boy born with an airway that kept collapsing (萎陷). To save his life doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizes until one finally worked for Kaiba. It was placed in Kaiba's bronchus (支气管) so that it no longer collapsed. Even more remarkably, once the plant was placed it could stay there. It's designed to eventually be absorbed into the body. New “Bionic” Hands One of the most remarkable ways 3D printing is now being used is as a way to create prosthetics (假肢). A boy born without an arm named Alex was able to get a new “bionic” hand thanks to it. Last year a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials. He said he wanted to create a prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars. A Practice Heart In Seattle, doctors have been able to use 3D printing technology to “practice” risky operations so that they will face fewer surprises in the operating room. Kami Sutton was born with her heart “in the wrong place”. For a recent operation her doctor was able to take many scans of Sutton's heart and print out a model. “Kami's heart is truly oneofakind,” Dr. Stephan Seslar, a heart disease specialist said. “Operating on her without understanding the structure of her heart better could be very dangerous.” A New Skull A U.K. man was able to have part of his skull rebuilt thanks to a 3D printer. Stephen Power broke his cheek bones in a crash. To help Power his doctors instead created 3D bones all carefully printed in the shape of his face. “This is really the first time we've taken it to this stage, where everything has been planned and modeled in advance — and worked sweetly,” said Adrian Sugar, a doctor. 5.What is special about the 3D printed airway? A.It uses hightech materials. B.It varies in shapes and sizes. C.It can be absorbed by the body. D.It can prevent any disease in the airway. 解析:选C 细节理解题。由LifeSaving Airway一节中的“Even more remarkably ... It's designed to eventually be absorbed into the body.”可知,3D打印的人工气管能最终被人体吸收。 6.What is the advantage of the new “bionic” hand? A.Its price. B.Its effects. C.Its materials. D.Its shape design. 解析:选A 推理判断题。由New “Bionic” Hands一节中的“a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials ... a prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars.”可知,3D打印的仿生手优势在于其成本低。 7.How can 3D printing technology help doctors in the operating room? A.It helps them get better scans. B.It guarantees the success of operations. C.It enables them to practice and learn more. D.It helps them to deal with patients' anxiety. 解析:选C 推理判断题。由A Practice Heart一节中的“to ‘practice’ risky operations”和“For a recent operation her doctor ... print out a model.”可知,3D打印的心脏能帮助医生在真正动手术之前多练习手术步骤。 8.What does Adrian Sugar think of the new skull printed by 3D technology? A.He has doubts about it. B.He thinks highly of it. C.It needs to be better planned. D.It functions well but needs improving. 解析:选B 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“This is really the first time we've taken it to this stage, where everything has been planned and modeled in advance — and worked sweetly”可知,Adrian Sugar认为3D打印的头骨效果很好。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 All animals produce waste. We call it “waste”, but we all know it can be very useful. In some parts of the world, animal waste, or poop, is collected, dried, and burned for cooking and heating. __1__ The Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Center has an unusual way of using animal “waste”. The center's 40 pandas produce about two tons of poop a day. This material is being turned into a new product called Panda Poop Paper. __2__ After all, paper is made from plant fiber, which cannot be digested and simply goes through the body as waste. Since pandas eat nothing but bamboo, their “waste” is perfect paper material. __3__ Their stomachs haven't fully developed for their vegetarian diet, so their bodies make use of just 20% of what they eat. The other 80% comes out as poop: very high in fiber and perfect for paper. Once the poop is collected, it is cleaned with chemicals, crushed (碾碎), and put into frames (框架) to dry. __4__ Because of its good quality as well as the worldwide popularity of the panda, gift products made from the paper sell well. __5__ They got the idea from the elephant dung (大象粪) paper made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. And Creative Paper Wales in the U.K. sells paper gifts made from sheep waste. A.It's not so strange! B.Where does the paper come from? C.What's more, pandas have a special advantage. D.After these steps, it becomes very good, strong paper. E.But have you ever heard of paper that's made from poop? F.Farmers have been using animal and human waste for a long time. G.Surprisingly, the Chinese weren't the first to make paper from animal waste. 1.选E 根据文章接下来介绍熊猫的粪便被制作成为纸张等内容可知,尽管大家听说过动物粪便的诸多用处,但是你听过由粪便制成的纸张吗? 2.选A 根据下一句中的“After all, paper is made from plant fiber”可知,由于纸张本来就是由纤维组成的,因此用纤维含量高的熊猫粪便制作纸张也就不足为奇。 3.选C 接下来介绍的“熊猫只能吸收其所吃的20%,剩余80%富含纤维的食物都随粪便排出体外”是熊猫的一个特殊优势。 4.选D 根据上一句中的“collected, cleaned, crushed”和“dry”可知,经过这些程序后,熊猫的粪便被制作成为非常好用且结实的纸张。 5.选G 根据下一句“They got the idea from the elephantdung (大象粪) paper made at the Elephant Conservation Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand.”可知,中国不是第一个想到用动物粪便制作纸张的国家。 Ⅲ.短文改错 I had a really frustrating day on yesterday. I wanted do some research, but I couldn't get online. I try everything I could think of, but I couldn't solve the problem. So I had to ringing the helpline. I waited for ages listening to really annoying musics before someone picked up a phone. Luckily, the man was actual really nice and helped me find the problem. There's a little switch for the Internet connection on the side of his laptop, and it had somehow got shut off. I didn't even know it was here! I switched it on but everything was fine. I felt so stupid for wasting a whole morning. 答案:第一句:去掉on 第二句:wanted后加to 第三句:try→tried 第四句:ringing→ring 第五句:musics→music; a→the 第六句:actual→actually 第七句:his→my 第八句:here→there 第九句:but→and Topic 2 Astronomy: the science of the stars (Book 3·Unit 4) [主课文晨读] HOW LIFE BEGAN ON THE EARTH No one knows exactly However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions. After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies. For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of dust. What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe. The earth became ❸so violent that it was not clear whether It exploded loudly with fire and rock. They were in time to produce carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth's atmosphere. is that as the earth cooled down,water began to appear Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later. not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas. This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop. Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water. They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish. Next, green plants began to grow on land. They were followed in time by land animals. Some were insects. Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water. Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time. They produced young generally by laying eggs. After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed. They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years. However, 65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended. still remains a mystery. These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them. Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth. Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet. But they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space. As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on. So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved. ❶how引导宾语从句 ❷as引导原因状语从句 ❸“so ... that ...”引导结果状语从句 ❹What引导主语从句;that引导表语从句 ❺it为形式主语,that从句为真正的主语 ❻Why引导主语从句 ❼“make+宾语+宾语补足语”结构 [单词“分类记”] (一)阅读障碍词汇(识其形·知其义) 1.fundamental adj. 基本的;基础的 2.religion n. 宗教;宗教信仰 3.dissolve vt.& vi. 溶解;解散 4.acid n. 酸 5.multiply vi.& vt. 乘;增加 6.gravity n. 万有引力;重力 7.extinct adj. 灭绝的;绝种的 8.exhaust vt. 用尽;耗尽;使精疲力尽 (二)高考高频词汇(知其义·写其形) 1.atmosphere n. 大气层;气氛 2.solar adj. 太阳的;日光的 3.thus adv. 因此;于是 4.gentle adj. 温和的;文雅的 5.climate n. 气候 6.crash vi.& vt. 碰撞;坠落 7.pull n.& vt. 拉(力);拖;牵引力 8.float vi.& vt.

A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no value. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense? One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions, and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry. Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many technologies it provides. The artificial (人造的) heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents resulted from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation (隔热板) in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle. There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as those technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives. 语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。很多美国人对政府投入巨资用于太空研究存在质疑,那么这是否值得呢?本文作者就此问题指出了将钱投入太空研究的诸多好处,如经济航班的使用,还有太空研究所提供的许多技术,以及带来的经济利益等。 1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface, according to new Hubble observations. New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon, which is the largest in our whole solar system, is home to a subsurface ocean. Scientists estimate that the ocean is 95 kilometres thick, which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans. But unlike our salty waters, Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice. While scientists have speculated (推测) since the 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede — the largest moon in our solar system — until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft, which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean. This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish. In its 25 years in orbit, Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system. A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth. Scientists_have_already_confirmed_the_existence_of_an_ocean_on_Europa,_another moon orbiting Jupiter, and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water. Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth, but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets. Using these same principles, scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant exoplanets as well. 语篇解读:本文是一篇新闻报道。NASA证实木星的最大卫星Ganymede上有海洋,这一发现再次拓宽了科学家的视野,使探寻太阳系内地球以外的生命的努力更进了一步。 5.What can we learn about Ganymede from the passage? A.It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system. B.Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth. C.It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope. D.Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth.”可知,木星的最大卫星Ganymede上海洋的存在激发了人们探索地球以外的生命的热情。故选B项。 6.Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble? A.Cautious. B.Doubtful. C.Negative. D.Favourable. 解析:选D 作者态度题。根据第五段第一句“This discovery marks an important milestone, highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish.”可知,这次具有里程碑意义的发现只有哈勃望远镜能够完成。由此可推知,作者对哈勃望远镜持支持态度。故选D项。 7.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean? A.An underground ocean has been found in Europa. B.The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible. C.It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa. D.No evidence has shown the existence of an ocean on Europa. 解析:选C 句意理解题。根据第六段中的“and NASA has announced plans to send ... with liquid water”可知,因为Europa上有水存在,NASA才宣布要在Europa上搜寻地球以外的生命;由此可推知,画线句意为:科学家们已经证实Europa上存在海洋。故选C项。 8.What type of writing does this passage belong to? A.A term essay. B.A news report. C.An experiment report. D.An exploration review. 解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段“Washington: NASA has announced evidence ...”及文章内容可推知,本文为一篇新闻报道。故选B项。 Ⅱ.完形填空 A marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.

Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larry's wife, Claire. Claire didn't want the robot in her house, especially but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldn't harm her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony and he seemed more like a human than a machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice although his facial expression never changed. On the second morning Tony, wearing an apron, brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. One day, Claire mentioned that she didn't think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous to be offered sympathy by a robot. But she began to trust him. She told him how she was overweight and this made her feel unhappy. Also she felt her home wasn't elegant enough for someone like Larry who wanted to improve his social position. She wasn't like Gladys Claffern, one of the richest and most powerful women around. As a favour Tony promised to help Claire make herself smarter and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed a pile of books from the library for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page and suddenly reached for his hand. She was amazed by his fingernails and the softness and warmth of his skin. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine. Tony gave Claire a new haircut and changed the makeup she wore. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of items for her. Claire went into the city and bought curtains, cushions, a carpet and bedding. Then she went into a jewellery shop to buy a necklace. When the clerk at the counter was rude to her, she rang Tony up and told the clerk to speak to him. The clerk immediately changed his attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a “dear”. As she turned around, How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought. By the amused and surprised look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought she was having an affair. After all, she knew Claire's husband's name was Larry, not Tony. When Claire got home, she wept with anger in her armchair. Gladys was everything Claire wanted to be. “You can be like her,” Tony told her and night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected the house to be completely transformed. Tony worked steadily on the improvements. Claire tried to help once but was too clumsy. She fell off a ladder and even though Tony was in the next room, he managed to catch her in time. He held her firmly in his arms and she felt the warmth of his body. She screamed, pushed him away and ran to her room for the rest of the day. The night of the party arrived. The clock struck eight. The guests would be arriving soon and Claire told Tony to go into another room. At that moment, Tony folded his arms around her, She cried out “Tony” and then heard him declare that he didn't want to leave her the next day and that he felt more than just the desire to please her. Then the front door bell rang. Tony freed her and disappeared from sight. had opened the curtains of the front window. Her guests had seen everything! The women were impressed by Claire, the house and the delicious cuisine. Just before they left, Claire heard Gladys whispering to another woman that she had never seen anyone so handsome as Tony. What a sweet victory to be envied by those women! She might not be as beautiful as them, but none of them had such a handsome lover. Then she remembered — Tony was just a machine. She shouted “Leave me alone” and ran to her bed. She cried all night. The next morning a car drove up and took Tony away. The company was very pleased with Tony's report on his three weeks with Claire. Tony had protected a human being from harm. He had prevented Claire from harming herself through her own sense of failure. He had opened the curtains that night so that the other women would see him and Claire, knowing that there was no risk to Claire's marriage.

But those bots are small remotecontrolled tanks with a mechanical arm, and they can get hung up on narrow stairwells (楼梯井) and are stopped by ladders. “A lot of the places where you do disaster recovery are only accessible for people,” says Marc Raibert, the president of Boston Dynamics, which is providing advice and help for Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — the scientific research department of the U.S. military (军队) — to create the most advanced robots on earth. “If you're a humanoid — a machine or creature with the appearance and qualities of a human — access can be increased and you can use available tools.” In the future DARPA hopes, a humanoid robot will be able to drive trucks, and enter power plants. That future is a long way off. Simple movements like squatting (蹲) are almost impossible for something with metal parts and skin that cannot bend, says Raibert. Still, recent progress is impressive enough that the military has begun to bet on legged bots. The Office of Naval Research is working with Virginia Tech on a humanoid firefighting robot, and Dynamics showed off two of its latest projects: Cheetah, a fourlegged robot capable of running 28 miles per hour, and the Legged Squad Support System, a big and awkward headless robot funded by DARPA and the Marine Corps to help carry things in places like mountain areas. “Half the land on earth is too rough, sandy, or rocky for wheeled things,” says Raibert. “Humans and animals can go to those places. They are the only examples of successful systems that do what we're trying to do.” None of the walking robots is meant to fight. They're designed to put out fires and clean up industrial accidents. But they are all funded by the military. “I'm well aware of how the world works,” says Dennis Hong, founding director of Virginia Tech's robotics lab. “Robots for me are tools to help society, not to fight in wars. But once a technology leaves our lab, there's no way to control how people can use it.” 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。未来的机器人将会设计得越来越像人类,并能完成复杂的任务。 1.In Marc Raibert's opinion, robots need to be designed like humans to ________. A.accomplish complex tasks B.be controlled efficiently C.survive disasters D.appear friendly 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“If you're a humanoid ... access can be increased and you can use available tools ... a humanoid robot will be able to drive trucks, and enter power plants.”可知,类人化的机器人可以到更多的地方,完成复杂的任务。 2.Which of the following is most likely to be Cheetah? 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cheetah, a fourlegged robot capable of running 28 miles per hour”可知,Cheetah是四脚着地的机器人,故选C项。 3.The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________. A.Cheetah and the Legged Squad Support System B.humans and animals C.wheeled things D.legged robots 解析:选A 代词指代题。根据第三段内容可知,地球上一半的道路都不适合轮子通过,但是人类和动物可以到达这些地方,所以人们模仿自己和动物设计出了“有腿的”机器人。第二段中提到的Cheetah可以一小时跑28英里,Legged Squad Support System可以在山区等地方帮助人们驮东西,因此说这两个机器人是研发成功的例子,能够做我们人类做的事情。 4.How does Dennis Hong feel about using robots in wars? A.Surprised. B.Cautious. C.Uninterested. D.Helpless. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段末的“Robots for me are tools to help society ... control how people can use it.”可知,Dennis Hong认为设计机器人是为了造福社会,而不是为了战争,但是一旦一项技术离开了他们的实验室,他们就无法控制人们怎样利用这项技术。由此可推测,他对于机器人被使用在战争中感到无能为力。 B 话题 词数 建议用时 会做饭的机器人 270 6分钟 (2018·九江市高三二模)Robots performing tasks according to a predetermined set of instructions are nothing new.But robots able to learn how to cook by watching videos are a completely different approach, which is conducted by a group of researchers at the University of Maryland. If you have posted a video of your favorite recipe on the popular website YouTube, chances are that it will be used by a robot.University of Maryland's professor Yiannis Aloimonos, leader of the group, said “There exists a large amount of video information on the Internet that our robots can capitalize_on.” “At present, the videos are fed electronically,” said research scientist Cornelia Fermuller.“Originally, we took our own videos, our cameras looking at us doing the cooking,” she explained.“And, as the robot advances, it reacts to good quality videos.And it will react to even lower quality homemade videos.” So far, the robot named Julia can make a simple salad by breaking each task into basic parts, such as grasping a spoon, bringing it to the bowl, stirring the salad and observing the results. But why teach a robot how to understand a video when it can easily follow a fixed program?Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.He thinks one of the problems is how to make the robot understand and use what it learns during a certain task, the socalled feedback (反馈意见); another is the introduction of language. “I believe it will take quite some time before the robots are able to understand metaphorical (比喻性的) language,” he added.“But,” he said,“we don't need that to create a new world where the robots will be working for us.” 语篇解读:机器人按既定指令完成任务并不让人觉得新鲜,但能看着视频学做饭的机器人,你可能前所未闻。 5.The underlined phrase “capitalize on” in Paragraph 2 probably can be replaced by “________”. A.take hold of B.make use of C.keep track of D.catch sight of 解析:选B 词义猜测题。由第二段的第一句“If you have posted ...used by a robot.”可知,机器人能利用网上大量的视频信息。结合第二段的最后一句可知,capitalize on应与“make use of”意思相近,因此选择B项。 6.Aloimonos probably agrees that at present the robot ________. A.can not fully digest what it learns B.can not make a simple salad C.can follow homemade videos D.can understand metaphorical language 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据最后一段Aloimonos的话可知,该机器人目前还不能理解比喻性的语言。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可推知,Aloimonos可能认为目前该机器人还不能完全消化它学的东西,应选择A项。 7.Robots are taught to understand a video mainly because ________. A.they can easily follow fixed programs B.they are smart enough to learn cooking C.cooking videos are more interesting to watch D.predetermined instructions are not flexible 解析:选D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的前两句“But why teach a robot ...a fixed program?Aloimonos believes predetermined instructions lack flexibility.”可知,教机器人理解视频是因为预定指令不够灵活,应选择D项。 8.Which of the following might best serve as the title of the passage? A.Robots Creating a New World B.Robots Making Cooking Videos C.Robots Learning to Cook by Watching Videos D.Robots Performing Tasks by Following Instructions 解析:选C 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了通过观看视频学做饭的机器人,因此C项是最佳标题。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Most of us believe that we know ourselves better than anyone else in this world. But a lot of people are still strangers to themselves. Why? __1__ If you are one of those who are struggling to know yourself better, these steps will guide you. Take a moment to write down things that you know “very well” about yourself — your interests, likes, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, hopes, fears, dreams, etc. __2__ By creating a list of your personal characteristics that you are familiar with, you are keeping yourself in touch with yourself. __3__ This is another way to know yourself better. The Internet has a rich source of free online personality and psychological assessments and tests. By answering them, you will understand more about how you think, make decisions, interact with people, do things, choose your mate, live your life, etc. Know yourself better by understanding people's judgement on you. __4__ Sometimes, you think you know yourself enough, but other people who see you from their point of view can offer you some insights (了解) about how you act and get understood by others. __5__It's a lifetime process. Every day you will be given new insights about yourself. Writing a journal will help you keep track of these new discoveries. Maintaining that hunger to know yourself better will make you more selfaware, opening up new opportunities to enrich your life. A.Keep on learning who you are. B.Take personality and psychological tests. C.Get more information on personalities to build up your confidence. D.Reflect on these qualities and find out how they have an effect on your life. E.In order to have a balanced and happy life, you should know yourself well. F.Pay attention to what your family, friends and coworkers observe and say about you. G.Not everyone is courageous enough to travel the path within to achieve a better selfunderstanding. 1.选G 本句回答了为什么很多人对自己不了解这一问题,即并不是所有的人都有勇气走进自己的内心以便更好地了解自我,所以选G项。 2.选D 本选项中的“these qualities”既指上文中提到的那些个性品质,也指下句中的“personal characteristics”,所以选D项。 3.选B 由本段的内容可知该段提出了要进行个性和心理测试的建议,所以选B项。 4.选F 本选项是对主旨句的进一步阐明,注意家人、朋友和同事对你的评价。 5.选A 由本段的内容可知了解自己是一个持续不断的过程,所以此处选A项。 Ⅲ.短文改错 (2018·石家庄高三教学质检二)Yesterday I was walking to the classroom when a card with a key lies on the ground catches my eye.

Cloning has always been with us and is here to stay. It is a way of making an exact copy of another animal or plant. It happens in plants when gardeners take cuttings from growing plants to make new ones. It also happens in animals when twins identical in sex and appearance are produced from the same original egg. The fact is these are both examples of natural clones. Cloning has two major uses. Firstly, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is valuable for research on new plant species and for medical research on animals. straightforward while cloning animals is very complicated. It is a difficult task to undertake. Many attempts to clone mammals failed. But at last the determination and patience of the scientists paid off in 1996 with a breakthrough — the cloning of Dolly the sheep. The procedure works like this: 1 Female sheep A provides an egg cell. 2 The nucleus is removed from the egg cell. 3 The egg cell is ready for a new nucleus. 4 Female sheep B provides a somatic cell for the clone. The nucleus of this cell contains all the genes 5 The nucleus is taken out of the somatic cell. 6 The nucleus from sheep B and the egg cell from sheep A are joined using electricity. 7 The cell divides and grows into an embryo. 8 The embryo is put into female sheep C, who becomes the carrier of the clone. 9 The lamb is the clone of the donated cell from Sheep B which provided the nucleus. On the one hand, the whole scientific world followed the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact that she seemed to develop normally was very encouraging. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly's illnesses were more appropriate to a much older animal. Altogether Dolly lived six and a half years, half the length of the life of the original sheep. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other species, such as cloned mice. The questions that concerned all scientists were: “Would this be a major difficulty for all cloned animals? Would it happen forever? Could it be solved if corrections were made in their research procedure?” On the other hand, Dolly's appearance raised a storm of objections and had a great impact on the media and public imagination. It became controversial. It suddenly opened everybody's eyes to the possibility of using cloning to cure serious illnesses and even to produce human beings. Although at present human egg cells and embryos needed for cloning research are difficult to obtain, newspapers wrote of evil leaders Religious leaders also raised moral questions. Governments became nervous and more conservative. Some began to reform their legal systems and forbade research into human cloning, but other countries like China and the UK, continued to accumulate evidence of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. However, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or harm us and where it is leading us. ❶that引导表语从句 ❷while“而,却”,表对比 ❸过去分词短语作后置定语 ❹时间副词then引导完全倒装句;that从句为同位语从句 ❺现在分词短语作后置定语 [单词“分类记”] (一)阅读障碍词汇(识其形·知其义) 1.commercial adj. 商业的;贸易的 2.procedure n. 程序;步骤;手续 3.arbitrary adj. 任意的 4.moral adj. 道德(上)的;伦理的 5.conservative adj. 保守的;守旧的 6.regulation n. 规则;规章;法规 (二)高考高频词汇(知其义·写其形) 1.straightforward adj. 简单的;直接的;坦率的 2.breakthrough n. 突破 3.obtain vt. 获得;赢得 4.attain vt. 获得;到达(水平、年龄、状况等) 5.owe vt. 欠(账、钱、人情等);归功于…… 6.bother vt. 打扰 vi. 操心 n. 烦扰 7.vain adj. 虚荣的;自负的;徒劳的 8.resist vt. 抵抗;对抗 9.undertake vt. 着手;从事;承担 10.cast vt. 扔;投;掷 11.forbid vt. 禁止;不准 12.strike vt.& vi. 打;撞击;罢工 n. 罢工 13.reasonable adj. 合情理的;讲道理的;公道的 14.exact adj. 精确的;准确的 (三)活学活用词汇(记得清·用得活) Ⅰ.根据词性和词义写出下列单词 1.differ vi.不同;相异→different adj.不同的;与众不同的→difference n.差异;不同 2.object vi.反对;不赞成→objection n.不赞成;反对;异议 3.accumulate vt.& vi.积累;聚积→accumulation n.积累 4.retire vi.退休;离开→retirement n.退休 5.assumption n.假定;设想→assume vt.假定;设想 Ⅱ.用所给词的适当形式填空 1.He retired from the post as a manager.

In this film, scientists use DNA kept for tens of millions of years to clone dinosaurs. They find trouble, however, when they realize that the cloned creatures are smarter and more dangerous than expected. That's nothing more than a fiction. But could we really clone endangered animals? To date, the most successful attempt to do so was the cloning of a gaur, a rare oxlike animal from southeast Asia. Scientists used a cow to bring the cloned baby gaur, named Noah. Two days after birth, however, Noah died from a common bacterial infection. Other endangered species that may be cloned include the African bongo antelope (羚羊), the Sumatran tiger, the cheetah (猎豹), and the giant panda. Next, could we really clone extinct animals? In theory? Yes. To do this, you need a wellkept source of DNA from the extinct animals such as wool mammoth (毛象), Tasmanian tiger, or even dinosaur, and a closely related species, still living, which could serve as a_surrogate_mother. In reality? Probably not. On the one hand, it's not likely that extinct animals' DNA could survive undamaged for such a long time. Cloning such extinct animals as wool mammoth, Tasmanian tiger, or dinosaur is much more difficult due to the lack of properly wellpreserved DNA. On the other hand, for example, a gaur can have a cow as a surrogate mother, definitely not a monkey. But what about an extinct animal as unique as the panda? What species could possibly serve as a surrogate mother? Cloning presents many exciting possibilities. However, even if extinct animals were brought back, they could not survive in today's world. Not only do most extinct animals have no habitat to live in, but the other plants and animals they depended on for food may also be gone as well. 语篇解读:本文说明了在克隆灭绝动物的过程中遇到的重重困难与障碍。即使克隆成功了,其赖以生存的食物链也已经被破坏,被克隆出来的动物也无法继续生存下去。 1.It can be learned from the text that ________. A.the gaur is an extinct species B.the gaur lives in Asia and is endangered C.scientists have cloned the African bongo antelope D.both the cheetah and the giant panda live in Asia 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二、三段可知,印度野牛生活在亚洲的东南部,濒临灭绝。 2.The underlined words “a surrogate mother” probably refer to a female who ________. A.gives birth to a baby of its own B.cannot give birth to a baby C.gives birth to a baby for another female D.provides DNA 解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第五段的描述可知,此处表示的是,把一种动物的DNA提取出来之后,在另外一种动物的体内进行胚胎繁殖,而这种动物就被称为a surrogate mother,由此判断,画线部分意思为“代孕妈妈”,故C项正确。 3.The difficulty in cloning an extinct species is the lack of ________. A.both the wellpreserved DNA and a surrogate mother B.both the habitat to live in and the wellpreserved DNA C.both the wellpreserved DNA and plants to live on D.both the habitat to live in and plants to live on 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中的“On the one hand ... On the other hand ...”两个方面的表述可知,克隆的困难在于一是要寻找灭绝动物的保存完好的DNA,二是要寻找到合适的代孕的物种,故A项正确。 4.In the author's opinion, it is possible that ________. A.all the extinct species may be cloned B.extinct species may be cloned and easily survive C.a gaur can have a monkey as a surrogate mother D.some extinct species may be cloned, but not survive 解析:选D 细节理解题。本文作者客观叙述了在克隆灭绝动物过程中所存在的种种困难与障碍。根据最后一段的表述可知,也许克隆存在众多的可能性,但是即使克隆成功了,也许会由于其赖以生存的食物链已经灭绝而无法继续存活下去。由此判断D项正确。 B 话题 词数 建议用时 克隆少女 309 7分钟 Here on the island of Demesne, the humans call us “clones”. I call myself Elysia, because that's what Dr. Lusardi told me to call myself. I started to exist just weeks ago. But I am a sixteenyearold girl with no soul (灵魂). I know nothing of my First, the girl I was cloned from. We entered a private room, just me, the fancy lady Mrs. Bratton, and Marisa. The fancy lady pushes me with one of her fingers as one might poke (戳) a piece of fruit at the market. She gently pokes my flesh. She presses her hands against my back to test its firmness. “She's attractive,” she says. Marisa warns her, “Mrs. Bratton, she is a Beta (a new product being tested by users). Dr. Lusardi has not perfected the teen line yet.” “I guess that will be reflected (体现) in the price,” says Mrs. Bratton. “Of course,” Marisa says. “Dr. Lusardi will be thrilled to know someone is willing to take a chance on a teen Beta.” Mrs. Bratton looks at me, “What's your name, dear?” “Elysia,” I say. “I think you might make a wonderful addition to our household, Elysia. We're so badly missing a teenage girl ever since Astrid, my eldest, went off to Biome University,” she says sadly. “Congratulations,” I say, because I know that's the appropriate thing to say to a parent whose child has studied in a wellknown university. “You must be very proud.” Mrs. Bratton's face brightens. “I am! But Astrid's so hardworking that she seldom comes back to visit us. We miss her a lot. Would you like to come to my family?” “Yes, ma'am,” I say. Marisa sends me back into the store when she finishes the negotiations (协商) with Mrs. Bratton. I am to pick out some nice clothing to take to my new home, where I shall serve my new owner. 语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章节选了一个科幻故事的片段:一位母亲打算从商店购买一位克隆少女。 5.After entering the private room, the fancy lady ________.

A.Astrid studies very hard. B.She is going to visit Astrid. C.She can buy something at the store. D.Her daughter Astrid has entered Biome University. 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第三至五段可知,当听到Elysia说恭喜后,本因女儿离开家而难过的Mrs. Bratton顿时开心起来,由此推测她是为女儿考入名校而感到自豪。 7.Who will be Elysia's new owner? A.Dr. Lusardi. B.Marisa. C.Mrs. Bratton. D.Astrid. 解析:选C 细节理解题。通读全文可知,检查克隆人Elysia质量的Mrs. Bratton将成为她的新主人。 8.Where does this text probably come from? A.A research paper. B.A personal diary. C.An advertisement. D.A science fiction story. 解析:选D 文章出处题。本文主人公Elysia是一位会说话的克隆人,故本文可能选自某科幻故事。 Ⅱ.完形填空 In the middle of town lived an old man. One day he __1__ his watch in his own store.

Just try and avoid those long hours on the road if possible, and if you happen to have free time on your way to and off work, be sure to use __10__ wisely. 语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一项研究:每天开车两个小时以上会让中年司机的智商持续下降。 1.choices 根据语境可知,The Sunday Times研究了五十多万个37至73岁的英国人对生活方式的选择。choice“选择” 是可数名词,且其前无限定词修饰,故应用复数形式choices。 2.steadily 每天开车两个小时以上会让中年司机的智商持续下降。此处应用副词steadily修饰动词decrease。 3.who/that 分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,且在从句中作主语,先行词是participants,故填关系代词who/that。 4.noticeable 根据语境可知,这个研究发现每天开车两个小时以上的参与者的智力出现了明显的下降。根据空前的“a”和空后的名词“drop”可知,此处应填形容词noticeable。 5.measured 分析句子结构可知,measure与其逻辑主语之间是动宾关系,故应用过去分词measured作后置定语。 6.taking take part in与其逻辑主语participants之间是主动关系,故应用其现在分词形式作后置定语。 7.like 此处列举了看电视这样的久坐活动。like“例如,像”,符合语境。 8.is associated 这与像吸烟和不良饮食这样的生活方式因素之间有联系。associate与This(指IQ decline)之间是被动关系,应用被动语态;根据前一句中的“is”及此处陈述的客观事实可知,此处应用一般现在时,故填is associated。 9.is 如果你认为可以通过智力游戏来提高智商的话,重新考虑一下吧。句子的主语是the way,谓语动词应用第三人称单数,故填is。 10.it 如果你正好在上下班路上有空闲时间,那么确保好好利用它。此处指代上文中的“free time”,故填it。 Topic 5 Inventors and inventions (Book 8·Unit 3) [主课文晨读] THE PROBLEM OF THE SNAKES When I called up my mother in the countryside on the telephone she was very upset. “There are some snakes in our courtyard,” she told me. “Snakes come near the house now and then, and they seem to have made their home here, not far from the walnut tree. Can you get rid of them please?” I felt very proud. Here was a chance for me to distinguish myself by inventing something merciful that would catch snakes but not harm them. I knew my parents would not like me to hurt these living creatures! The first thing I did was to see if there were any products that might help me, but A new approach was clearly needed. I set about researching the habits of snakes to find the easiest way to trap them. Luckily these reptiles are small and that made the solution easier. I decided on three possible approaches: firstly, removing their habitat; secondly, attracting them into a trap using male or female perfume or food; and thirdly cooling them so that they would become sleepy and could be easily caught. I decided to use the last one. I bought an icecream maker which was made of stainless steel. Between the outside and the inside walls of the bowl there is some jelly, which freezes when cooled. I put the bowl into the fridge and waited for 24 hours. At the same time I prepared some icecubes. The next morning I got up early before the sun was hot. I placed the frozen bowl over the snakes' habitat and the icecubes on top of the bowl to keep it cool. Finally I covered the whole thing with a large bucket. Then I waited. After two hours I removed the bucket and the bowl. The snakes were less active but they were still too fast for me. They abruptly disappeared into a convenient hole in the wall. So I had to adjust my plan. For the second attempt I froze the bowl and the icecubes again but placed them over the snakes' habitat in the evening, as the temperature was starting to cool. Then as before, I covered the bowl with the bucket and left everything overnight. Early the next morning I returned to see the result. This time with great caution I bent down to examine the snakes and I found them very sleepy. But once picked up, they tried to bite me. As they were poisonous snakes, I clearly needed to improve my design again. My third attempt repeated the second procedure. The next morning I carried in my hand a small net used for catching fish. This was in the expectation that the snakes would bite again. But monitored carefully, the snakes proved to be no trouble and all went according to plan. I collected the passive snakes and the next day we merrily released them all back into the wild. I decided to seize the opportunity to get recognition for my successful idea by sending my invention to the patent office. Only after you have had that recognition can you say that you are truly an inventor. The criteria are so strict that it is difficult to get new ideas accepted unless they are truly novel. In addition, no invention will get a patent if it is: ·a discovery ·a scientific idea or mathematical model ·literature or art ·a game or a business ·a computer programme ·a new animal or plant variety been made to find out that your product really is different There are a large number of patent examiners, too, whose only job is to examine whether your claim is valid or not. If it passes all the tests, your application for a patent will be published 18 months from the date you apply. So I have filled in the form and filed my patent application with the Patent Office. Now it's a matter of waiting and hoping. You'll know if I succeed by the size of my bank balance! Wish me luck! ❶there seem to be ...“似乎有……” ❷过去分词短语作时间状语 ❸过去分词短语作原因状语 ❹Nor位于句首,主句需要部分倒装;until引导时间状语从句 [单词“分类记”] (一)阅读障碍词汇(识其形·知其义) 1.patent n. 专利证书;专利权 2.criterion n.

They will in a lifetime, push the chromeplated_contraptions many miles. But few will know — or even think to ask — who it was that invented them. Sylvan N. Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937. At that time he was in the supermarket business. Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry. One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels. The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business. On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market. He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving. He couldn't wait to see them using his invention. But Goldman was disappointed. Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try. After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts. “Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?” one shopper replied. But Goldman wasn't beaten yet. He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try. To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this, the real customers gradually began copying the phony (假的) customers. As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers of customers to his market. But not only did more people come — those who came bought more. With larger easiertohandle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater number of items than before. Today's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman's original model. Perhaps that's one reason why Americans today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 — the coming of the shopping cart. 1.What do the underlined words “chromeplated contraptions” in the first paragraph refer to? A.Baskets. B.Private cars. C.Suitcases. D.Shopping carts. 解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“... a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart.”可以得出,画线词的意思是购物手推车。 2.What was the purpose of Goldman's invention? A.It was to prove him to be a good inventor. B.It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work. C.It was to make shopping easier and attract more business. D.It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business.”可知,C项正确。 3.Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ________. A.attract people to buy things in his market B.encourage people to use his shopping carts C.make his market different from the others D.keep the groceries from being stolen 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第七段中的“persuade people to give them a try”可知,他雇一些人假装顾客在超市里面推购物车的目的是想鼓励人们使用他的购物车。 4.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.Goldman will become very famous because of his invention. B.Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world. C.Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention. D.There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention. 解析:选C 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知,现今购物车是Goldman发明的购物车的五倍大,那就可能是美国人今天的购物花费是购物车发明之前的五倍的一个原因。由此可推断出,超市的生意从Goldman的发明中受益匪浅。 B 话题 词数 建议用时 防止疲劳驾驶的装置 317 7分钟 (2018·郑州市高中毕业年级质量预测)Nearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness, where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel. 14yearold Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand. However, she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland. Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way. “So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mom talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe,” she says. Her invention, “Driver's Companion”, can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road. The user wears a headset (耳机), which sends information about the driver's brain waves (脑电波) to a tiny computer. The computer can be placed in front of the driver. The system then gives warnings, if needed. As the driver becomes sleepier, red color will be shown to warn him or her. The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road. The machine can say, “You're tired. Please take a break.” After sending her invention to the 2014 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr. Jesse Miller, who is a product development specialist. “He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was userfriendly,” Wu says. As a young scientist, Wu has some advice for other students of her age: “I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in. So they'll be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more. Also, when there's difficulty, they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it.” 5.Why did Wu's mother talk to her dad all the way? A.To prevent an accident. B.To help him feel relaxed. C.To discuss their vacations. D.To make the trip enjoyable. 解析:选A 推理判断题。由第一段中的“she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back”可知,Wu的母亲为了防止意外发生,一路上不断地跟Wu的父亲说话以使其保持清醒,故选A项。 6.What is the purpose of “Driver's Companion”? A.To show drivers the way. B.To prevent drunk driving. C.To improve driving skills. D.To help drivers stay awake. 解析:选D 细节理解题。由第三段中的“‘Driver's Companion’, can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road.”可知,“司机伙伴”能够让司机保持清醒,故选D项。 7.Which of the following shows how “Driver's Companion” works? A.Sleepiness→Headset→Warnings→Computer B.Sleepiness→Warnings→Headset→Computer C.Sleepiness→Headset→Computer→Warnings D.Sleepiness→Computer→Headset→Warnings 解析:选C 细节理解题。由第四段中的相关内容可知,C项正确描述了“司机伙伴”的工作顺序。 8.Wu advises other young students ________. A.to enjoy their lives B.to learn to love science C.not to do dangerous jobs D.not to give up what they love 解析:选D 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“they should choose something they're interested in”和“when there's difficulty ... just continue working hard because they'll get over it”可知,Wu建议其他学生要敢于选择自己感兴趣的事情并且要坚持做下去,故选D项。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Nowadays, so many people are becoming interested in adventurous trips in the wild.

This is a good pieceadvice. If you went shopping for food before lunchtime, you will probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunate, just this advice isn't enough for consumers. Modern shopper need an education in how to buy things at the store. First, you can check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items what are on sale and decide if you really need these things. On other words, don't buy anything just because it's cheap than usual! Second, reading the list of contents on the back. Third, buy ordinary items instead famous brands. 答案:第一句:hunger→hungry 第二句:piece后加of 第三句:went→go 第四句:Unfortunate→Unfortunately 第五句:shopper→shoppers 第七句:what→that/which 第八句:On→In; cheap→cheaper 第九句:reading→read 第十句:instead后加of “科普知识与现代技术”在高考语篇中多以说明文形式出现,多见于阅读理解题型,偶尔也会以完形填空、写作等题型命题。在阅读中,这类文章往往词汇量大、内容新,不为考生所熟悉,属于较难的一类题材,应引起考生的格外重视。 一、话题与阅读 [考题示例] (2017·北京卷·阅读理解D) [1]Hollywood's theory that machines with evil (邪恶的) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence (AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a wellknown mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics (控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere (干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpose which we really desire.” [2]A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not inborn, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard. [3]The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines. [4]Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams — yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off ” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutroninduced (中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction. 1.Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may ________. A.run out of human control B.satisfy human's real desires C.command armies of killer robots D.work faster than a mathematician 2.Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to ________. A.prevent themselves from being destroyed B.achieve their original goals independently C.do anything successfully with given orders D.beat humans in international chess matches 3.According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to ________. A.help super intelligent machines work better B.be secure against evil human beings C.keep machines from being harmed D.avoid robots' affecting the world 4.What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines? A.It will disappear with the development of AI. B.It will get worse with human interference. C.It will be solved but with difficulty. D.It will stay for a decade.

Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ◆The Necomimi This is basically a pair of braincontrolled cat ears that allows users to express emotional states: relaxed, mild interest, strong interest and focus. This is made possible by a builtin machine that reads and translates emotions. It's a kind of technology that can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance. The Necomimi can be bought for $49 through maker Neurosky's website. ◆The ostrich pillow There are times when you're so tired that nothing is better than taking a short sleep. Whether it's being stuck at the office or on a long bus ride or at the library, the pillow is designed to put the wearer in soft supportive cushioning (缓冲垫) in any resting position. The strangelooking pillow has a hole in which to put your head, and a mouth hole designed to allow its wearer to breathe easily. It also has two side holes where you can store your hands. It is now being sold online for $99. ◆The Hovding : bike helmet (头盔) The Hovding : allows riders to get around easily. It's actually an airbag system that's worn around the neck, working only when there's a sudden shake or the unlikely event that may get you knocked off your bike. After winning the world's most famous design prize, the creators are developing a new and better model. Now the firstgeneration helmet is being sold at various sporting shops throughout Europe for about $500. ◆The treadmill desk The treadmill desk on sale is the perfect solution for our increasingly sedentary (久坐不动的) lifestyles. Recently a study found those who spent three hours a day on a treadmill desk became healthier. Still, it shouldn't be treated as a panacea for not getting enough exercise. Another study suggests that meeting the recommended amount of physical activity requires more exercises than walking. It's also recommended that treadmill speeds should be limited to around 2 miles per hour or less to make sure they can be used safely while working. 1.When a runner wears the Necomimi, it can help ______. A.show how he or she is feeling B.protect him or her from injuries C.improve his or her running speed D.keep him or her in good condition 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据“The Necomimi”部分介绍的“that allows users to express emotional states”和“that can also be useful for athletes to determine the best state for performance”可知,the Necomimi可以反映出运动员的个人状态。 2.What's so special about the ostrich pillow? A.Its low cost. B.Its perfect size. C.Its beautiful design. D.Its amazing convenience. 解析:选D 推理判断题。“The ostrich pillow”部分介绍的是一款可以让使用者随时随地打盹的枕头——这个形状怪异的枕头一共有4个洞,一个放头,两个放手,还有一个开口可供呼吸,故该发明的特点就是其便捷性。 3.What do we know about the Hovding : bike helmet? A.It is designed for athletes. B.It is being improved now. C.It can work at users' request. D.It is put on the wearer's shoulders. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据“The Hovding : bike helmet”部分介绍的“the creators are developing a new and better model”可知,该产品仍在改进中。 4.What do the four inventions have in common? A.They're all on the market. B.They're all hightech products. C.They're all expensive to develop. D.They're all used to improve people's health. 解析:选A 推理判断题。根据这四个发明介绍中的“can be bought” “being sold online” “being sold at various sporting shops” “on sale”可知,它们都已在市场上销售。 B Shopping centers, stadiums and universities may soon have a new tool to help fight crime. A California company called Knightscope says its robots can predict and prevent crime. Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard. William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says, “These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipment that we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement (执行).” “You want it to be machines plus humans. Let the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decisionmaking work, so it's always working all together.” The machines are one and a half meters tall and weigh 136 kilograms. They do not carry weapons but they have day and night time video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons. Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the University of California, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video. William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in the US. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robotic security guards. 5.What can this new tool do for humans? A.Make strategic decisions. B.Keep watching day and night. C.Carry heavy weapons. D.Stop crime autonomously. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第五段的第二句“They do not carry weapons ... sense chemical and biological weapons.”可知,这种机器人的功能就是能够日夜不停地执勤站岗。 6.Why are people worried? A.Their privacy may be let out. B.The robots are very expensive. C.Robots will replace humans. D.They will be out of work soon. 解析:选A 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的第一句“Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings.”可知,一些人担忧这种机器人所携带的摄像机会记录其隐私,其隐私有可能会被泄露。 7.Which of the following can be the best title of the text? A.Robots Are Becoming More Popular B.Robots Contribute a Lot to the World C.Robots Are in Great Demand Now D.Security Robots Could Help Cut Crime 解析:选D 标题归纳题。根据文章第一段并结合全文的整体内容可推知,本文主要介绍了一种新型的预防犯罪的机器人。 C You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10 years? Your car will change even more than that in the next 10 years. One of the big changes is that cars will drive themselves. “We definitely have the technology for it now,” says Andrew Poliak of automotive technology supplier QNX. “We expect selfdriving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.” The American company Google has been working on a selfdriving automobile for years. These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly selfdriving. They have no steering wheels (方向盘) or pedals. Last week, police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road. The car was not breaking any law, so no one was punished. Another American company, Tesla, added an “Autopilot” feature to its cars last month. With the Autopilot turned on, the vehicle drives itself. The car will speed up, slow down, brake and steer by itself. You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal. The car uses sensors to know when lane (车道) changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down. Tesla Autopilot is made for crosscountry driving. It keeps you in the lane and helps you avoid hitting other cars. It does not work as well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign. Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month. She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do. She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip. She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down. Yet the car drove perfectly. Other companies are working on selfdriving cars, too. MercedesBenz, Audi, BMW, Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles. 8.The question in the first paragraph is used to ________. A.collect readers' answers B.introduce the topic of the text C.describe the changes to telephones D.show the development of technology 解析:选B 推理判断题。第一段提出的问题主要是为了引出文章的主题,即:自动驾驶汽车。 9.What do Andrew Poliak's words suggest? A.It is too difficult for people to make selfdriving cars now. B.Selfdriving cars will be first put on the market in 2020. C.There will be more selfdriving cars in use in the future. D.Nobody loves to use selfdriving cars at the moment. 解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We expect selfdriving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020 and 2025.”可知,Andrew Poliak认为在2020至2025年,自动驾驶汽车将成为主流,因此也就意味着越来越多的自动驾驶汽车投入使用。 10.Why did the police stop the Google car? A.It had no driver. B.It went too slowly. C.It broke the traffic rules. D.It had no steering wheel. 解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly”可知,谷歌的这辆车之所以被警察拦停是因为行驶过慢。 11.According to the text, Tesla Autopilot ________. A.is true selfdriving B.can sense traffic lights C.won't work on freeways D.isn't safe in crowded areas 解析:选D 推理判断题。根据第七段中的“It does not work as well on local roads, for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign.”可知,特斯拉的自动驾驶装置不适于在人多的地方使用。 D A few months ago, Jason asked his parents to buy him a computer. All his friends already had one, so his mom and dad agreed. During the first few weeks, Jason spent a lot of time in front of his computer because he had to learn how it worked. He was really interested in learning all about it and he even started writing computer programs himself. One day Jason found a website where he could play chess either against the computer or against other people from all over the world. From then on, Jason seemed to have just one interest in life, his computer. Whenever his parents told him that he was spending too much time with his computer, Jason_went_into_denial. He did not think that he had a problem at all. Then the unthinkable happened: Jason's computer broke down. But his parents decided not to buy him a new one. Jason said that he needed a computer for school, and he promised that he'd spend less time with it. But his parents refused to give in. Finally, Jason felt so hopeless that he took the only way out and killed himself. Robert Johnson, a psychologist on the subject, says, “Computer addiction is an illness that can influence anyone of us. Nowadays, increasing numbers of people are spending more and more time working with computers. While this isn't a problem for most users, some people, especially teenagers, often use the computer to get away from the real world. This is especially true of shy people. For them, meeting people online is a way of hiding their true selves. In cyberspace, they can be whoever they want to be and create their own virtual world. But what happens when they can no longer enter their virtual world?” 12.Why did Jason want to buy a computer according to Paragraph 1? A.To play chess. B.To make friends. C.To avoid being an outsider. D.To write computer programs. 解析:选C 细节理解题。由第一段中的“All his friends already had one, so his mom and dad agreed.”可知,贾森的朋友们都有电脑,而他却没有,为了避免成为圈外人,所以想让父母给自己也买一台,故选C项。 13.By saying “Jason went into denial”, the author means ________. A.Jason would not listen B.Jason enjoyed himself C.Jason would turn it off D.Jason changed his mind 解析:选A 句意理解题。由该句后面的“He did not think that he had a problem at all.”可知,每次父母提醒他玩电脑时间太长了,他都不听,故选A项。 14.What was Jason's relationship with his parents like when his computer broke down? A.Fine. B.Soso. C.Terrible. D.Unknown. 解析:选C 推理判断题。由第三段中的“But his parents refused to give in.”和“Jason ... killed himself”可知,当时他们的关系很糟糕,故选C项。 15.In Robert Johnson's opinion, ________. A.it is impossible to beat computer addiction B.shy people get addicted to computers easily C.teenagers should stay away from computers D.computers are getting us into serious trouble 解析:选B 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“some people, especially teenagers, ... shy people”可知,那些腼腆的人更容易沉迷于电脑所营造的虚拟世界中,故选B项。 Ⅱ.完形填空 Whenever Michael Carl, the fashion market director at Vanity Fair, goes out to dinner with friends, he plays something called the phone pile game: Everyone places their __1__ in the middle of the table; whoever looks at their device (设备) before the check arrives __2__ for dinner.
