[课 下 作 业] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2018·重庆八校联考)A cat with his own Facebook page and Instagram account is taking the Internet by storm thanks to his expressive eyebrows.Curious-looking Sam has racked up 150,000 Instagram followers and 530,000 likes on Facebook since bursting onto the scene in 2012. Owner Amanda Collado,26,from New York,has been handling the large amount of requests from fans and media for the past three years.She said,“There have definitely been situations where I have had to ignore friends,family or work to take the time to do Sam’s posts or answer emails on his behalf.Everyone gets a little annoyed when I’m on my phone and not paying attention to them.I never thought Sam would be so popular.” Amanda’s mum,Ivette Rodriguez,noticed the abandoned cat outside her home one evening. Ivette said,“I saw a little niche(壁龛)next to the house and there was a cat in there.He willingly gave himself up to me—I guess he was so tired of being outside.” Amanda created an Instagram account for Sam after a friend pointed out his expressive brows.She said.“I didn’t notice his eyebrows initially.” “He had about 800 followers at first—but in February someone posted his photo on Reddit and he blew up overnight—I woke up with 1,600 followers.From there we made a Facebook and all other social media accounts.” Amanda posts pictures to Sam’s account every two days,but spends most of her day keeping up with all of his fans.But the effort she puts into her pet’s social media has paid off—and she has bigger plans for Sam’s future,including merchandise(商品). “Right now we’re trying to share him in a free way.Eventually we’ll sell Sam merchandise,because I know many people do like having cute mugs,Sam mugs,or posters,T-shirts.” 【语篇导读】 本文主要介绍了美国一只网红猫的故事。 1.Why does Amanda sometimes ignore her friends?

This is not the first time scientists have tried to create such technology.However previous “skin to screen” approaches have been awkward,requiring the use of things like interactive materials and projector/camera combinations.SkinTrack,however,needs users to wear just a ring and their favorite smartwatch. The finger-wearing ring uses high-frequency electrical signals to communicate with the watch and transfer (转移) the controls from the tiny screen onto the surface of the arm.Though the technology behind SkinTrack may be complex,its use is simple. With SkinTrack,a person can use their smartwatch to do everything they would on a tablet or computer.That means they can read information,look for directions,and even make a call.Even cooler applications included seeing the image appear on the smartwatch or controlling apps like Facebook and Snapchat from the arm “touchpad”.SkinTrack can also be used to play games,allowing fans to continue with their favorite hobby,without missing a beat.The technology also recognizes hotkey commands.Users can simply draw an “N” on their hand to open a news app or an “S” to silence a phone call. Researcher Yang Zhang says that while the technology is safe for humans,it does have a few limitations.The biggest one is keeping the ring powered for longer periods of time. Additionally,the signals also become less responsive (易感应的) if used continually.That’s because SkinTrack still has a hard time understanding things like body sweat and the arm’s continuous movement. Nevertheless,the technology does appear to be a reasonable way to improve the usability of wearable devices (装置) without affecting style.However,if SkinTrack is widely adopted,its influence on society in social settings will be interesting,to say the least. 【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。SkinTrack技术可以将手背和胳膊上的皮肤变身成触摸屏幕,让皮肤成为智能手表的触控板。 4.Why have smartwatches not been as useful as tablets and computers? A.They have tiny screens. B.They have few functions. C.They are just for timekeeping. D.They cannot process information. 答案 A [细节理解题。由第一段中的“Controlling...given their large screens.However,the same is not true for smartwatches”可知,智能手表因其屏幕尺寸小而成为浏览信息和操作的一大障碍。] 5.What do we know about SkinTrack technology? A.It uses interactive materials. B.It uses biological electric current. C.It turns the arm into a smartwatch touchpad. D.It combines the use of projector and camera. 答案 C [细节理解题。由第一段中的“with an invention that transforms the arm into a touchpad”以及第二、三段的描述可知,SkinTrack操作系统可以将手背和胳膊上的皮肤变身成触摸屏幕,让皮肤成为智能手表的触控板。] 6.What is one disadvantage of SkinTrack technology? A.It will affect style. B.It has a bad effect on health. C.The signals are too weak to pick up. D.Providing energy nonstop is a challenge. 答案 D [细节理解题。由倒数第二、三段的描述可知,目前该技术也存在不足之处:人体出汗和持续运动时,会影响指环的电路和信号的发射;最大的缺陷是:难以使指环的动力持续很长时间。] 7.What does the author think of SkinTrack? A.He has doubts about it. B.He has high hopes of it. C.It needs to improve its safety. D.It functions well but won’t be popular. 答案 B [推理判断题。由最后一段中的“the technology does appear to be a reasonable way to improve the usability of wearable devices”和“if SkinTrack is widely adopted,its influence on society in social settings will be interesting,to say the least”可知,作者对SkinTrack技术未来的发展充满希望。] Ⅱ.完形填空 As I head down the narrow hallway of my high school,my ears are filled with the sounds of complaints.The __1__ around me are constantly complaining about school.These complaints fill the __2__ and make it hard to breathe.I try to mention the __3__ side of our current situation in high school but am met with criticism.The feeling of __4__ school has become widespread among students worldwide.This can create a __5__ educational environment.In my opinion,school is and should be fun.
