Wait no longer. Now there is a set of electronics to do just that，build a house from scratch，and fast.‎ Forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction; a machine developed in the United States can build a 232 sqm house layer by layer in a single day.University of Southern California's Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has designed the giant robot that replaces construction workers with a mouth on an arm of crane，which spits out concrete and can quickly build a house according to a computer pattern.The technology，known as Contour (轮廓) Crafting，could revolutionize the construction industry.‎ Contour Crafting could greatly decrease the cost of homeowning，making it possible for millions of displaced people to get on the property ladder.It could even be used in disaster relief areas to build emergency and replacement housing.As Prof Khoshnevis points out，if you look around you almost everything is made automatically these days—“your shoes，your clothes，home appliances，your 7‎ ‎ car.The only thing that is still built by hand are these buildings.”‎ The Contour Crafting system is a robot that automates ageold tools normally used by hand.These are applied by a robotic crane that builds a threedimensional object.The nature of the technology means it will also be possible to create curved walls and architecture that is both “exotic (异国情调的) and beautiful” according to Prof Khoshnevis.As a result，it could be ideal to print out expensive houses according to customers' demands.‎ Furthermore，Prof Khoshnevis believes that the technology could be applied beyond our planet.“Contour Crafting technology has the potential to build safe，reliable，and affordable structures，habitats，laboratories，and other facilities on the moon and Mars before the arrival of human beings，” his website reads.‎ According to the International Labour Organisation，construction employs nearly 110 million people worldwide and “plays a major role in fighting the high levels of unemployment and in absorbing extra labour from the rural areas”．What the implications are for builders is，of course，a major concern.But Khoshnevis says “the reality is that a lot of new jobs can be created in this field as well”．Instead of building the house，workmen are used to maintain the machine.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。随着科技的发展，巨型机器人可用于建设房屋，而且具有时间短、成本低等优势，并且能够满足不同收入的人们的实际购房需求。‎ ‎1．Which advantage does the giant robot have for the consumers?‎ A．It saves a great deal of time.‎ B．It decorates houses beautifully.‎ C．It provides energysaving apartments.‎ D．It builds environmentally friendly houses.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Forget weeks to find a builder and months for house construction; a machine developed in the United States can build a 232 sqm house layer by layer in a single day.”可知，原先需要几个月的房屋建筑现在只要一天就能完成，巨型机器人的明显优势是它可以节省大量的时间。‎ ‎2．The underlined part “to get on the property ladder” (in Paragraph 3) means “ ________ ”．‎ A．to print objects B．to purchase a house C．to predict disasters D．to accumulate wealth 7‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据第三段画线部分之前的内容“Contour Crafting could greatly decrease the cost of homeowning，making it possible for millions of displaced people”中的“decrease the cost of”并结合选项可推知，由于建房成本大大降低了，所以许多人可以买得起房子了。因此B项与画线部分意思相近。‎ ‎3．The new construction technology can satisfy the needs of ________.‎ A．lowincome residents B．people at different income levels C．middleincome people D．wealthy immigrants 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“As a result，it could be ideal to print out expensive houses according to customers' demands.”可知，它可以根据客户的需要建设出豪宅。由此结合第三段第一句可推知，新的建设技术能满足不同收入水平的人们的需求。‎ ‎4．What influence will Contour Crafting have on construction industry?‎ A．Many construction workers will lose jobs.‎ B．Professionals will be hired to make robot builders.‎ C．More rural people will engage in construction.‎ D．Construction workers will update their skills.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句可知，随着巨型机器人技术的发展，在建筑业会有新的就业机会出现，而建筑工人的主要任务就是维护机器。由此可推知，建筑工人将会更新自己的技能。‎ B ‎(2019·河南师大附中高二下期中卷)‎ PERSONAL ROBOT Make your parents and teachers happy!‎ Are you having problems finishing your homework on time?‎ Do you avoid tidying your room until your mom shouts at you? You don't need to worry if you buy a Mr.Helping Hand personal robot.Mr.H can be programmed to organize your homework.Your own personal robot will follow you around，putting away books and objects that you have left on the floor or bed.‎ Mr.H also has these features (特点)：‎ ‎•weighs only 500 grams ‎•includes longlasting batteries ‎•comes with a 5year guarantee 7‎ ‎•remembers simple instructions Originally (最初) sold for $499‎ NOW ONLY $299‎ WATCH CONTROL This is a watch that James Bond would be proud to wear!‎ This is NOT a watch for ordinary people!‎ Your electronic PENGO WATCH CONTROL ‎•acts as a remote control for TVs and videos.‎ ‎•gives you a daily weather forecast.‎ ‎•reminds you when to hand in your homework.‎ ‎•sets off a silent warning alarm when parents or teachers are near.‎ Besides，your PENGO WATCH CONTROL will always tell you the time accurately!‎ Originally sold for $199‎ NOW ONLY $99‎ For further information，click here.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是两则广告。第一则介绍的是帮助学生完成作业和整理物品的私人机器人；第二则介绍的是能充当电视和录像机的遥控器，并能提醒交作业、预报天气、提示老师或父母在附近的智能手表。‎ ‎5．With the help from a Mr.H，you can ________.‎ A．stop using batteries B．finish your homework on time C．remember your teacher's instructions D．get your room tidied on your way home 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一部分中的“Mr.H can be programmed to organize your homework.Your own personal robot will follow you around，putting away books and objects that you have left on the floor or bed.”可知，Mr.H的功能是帮助完成作业，可以帮助整理物品。故选B。‎ ‎6．A PENGO WATCH CONTROL can help you to ________.‎ A．repair your TV B．organize your homework C．be a James Bond D．know what the weather is like 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据第二部分中的“gives you a daily weather forecast”可知，这种手表能预报天气，故D项正确。‎ 7‎ ‎7．You can get your Mr.H for ________.‎ A．$499　　　　　　　 B．$299‎ C．$199 D．$99‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第一部分最后的“Originally (最初) sold for$499 　NOW ONLY $299”可知，现在的售价是299美元，故选B。‎ ‎8．Where would you be most likely to find the two texts?‎ A．On a notice board.‎ B．In a company brochure.‎ C．On a teenage website.‎ D．In a college newspaper.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。第一则广告介绍的是帮助学生完成作业和整理物品的Personal Robot，第二则广告介绍的是提醒交作业、预报天气、提示老师或父母在附近的智能手表，因此这两款产品都是针对青少年研发的；再根据结尾处的“click here”可知是网页，所以这两则广告最可能出现在青少年网站上，故选C。‎ Ⅲ.语法填空 Have a look at a keyboard—either on your computer or on your cellphone—and you'll notice that it isn't set up alphabetically (按字母顺序地).1. ________ (start) in the upper left corner，you won't see ABCDEF.Instead，you'll see QWERTY.What's up 2. ________ that?
