话题专练（九）科技发展、技术创新与 自然科学研究成果(1) I,阅读理解 A (2024届辽宁省大连市滨城联盟高三模拟)At the age of9,my father passed away.I often helped mum with the housework and changing the vacuum cleaner(真空吸尘器)bag and picking up things the machine did not suck up always drove me crazy.One day 20 years later,in 1978,I was doing chores at home alongside my wife.The vacuum cleaner was screaming,and worse still,I had to empty the bag several times.But for my wife's comfort,I would have lost it just as I did many years ago.It was at that time that I decided to make a bagless vacuum cleaner.And I even imagined myself using it for the next weekend cleaning. Easier said than done,of course.I didn't realize that I would spend the next five years p 北 perfecting my design,a process that resulted in5,l27 different prototypes(设计原型).By the time I made my 15th prototype,my third child was born.By 2,627,my wife and I were really counting our pennies.By 3,727,my wife was giving art lessons for some extra cash,and we were getting further and further into debt.These were tough times,but with my family,I pulled through and each failure brought me closer to solving the problem. 如 蚁 I just had a passion for the vacuum cleaner as a product,but I never thought of going into a business with it..In the early 198Os,I started trying to get licensing agreements(许可协议)for my technology.The reality was very different,however.The major vacuum makers had built a business model based on the profits from bags and filters ()No one would license my idea, not because it was a bad one,but because it was bad for business. 黄 That gave me the courage to keep going,but soon after,the companies that I had talked with started making machines like mine.I had to fight legal battles on both sides of the Atlantic 御 to protect the patents on my vacuum cleaner.However,I was still in financial difficulties until 1993,when my bank manager personally persuaded Lloyds Bank to lend me 1 million.Then my bagless vacuum cleaner was produced in large numbers.Within two years,the Dyson vacuum cleaner became a best-seller in Britain. Today,I still embrace risk and the potential for failure as part of my life."Go out and brainstorm new ideas."I often tell myself. —65 1.From the first paragraph,we know that A.Dyson resolved to make a vacuum cleaner in memory of his father. B.Dyson decided to develop an innovative vacuum cleaner for his wife while in his thirties. C.Dyson was not a little annoyed when the vacuum cleaner went wrong. D.Dyson didn't lose the vacuum cleaner he used because his wife comforted him. 2.When was Dyson's bagless vacuum cleaner mass produced? A.In the early 1980s. B.After his bank manager agreed to lend him 1 million. C.After he was given a 1 million loan. D.Before he obtained a patent on the product. 3.It can be inferred from the article that A.Dyson dreamed of making a fortune when he began his invention B.Dyson might owe his success to his family C.Dyson had no confidence in his vacuum cleaner initially D.Dyson's vacuum cleaner was not licensed in the early 1980's for its poor quality 4.According to the article,which of the following would most likely be Dyson's motto? A.More haste,less speed. B.Silence is gold. C.Without adventure,one can not know himself. D.He who never failed might never succeed. B (2024届浙江省绍兴市高三模拟)In a groundbreaking effort,scientists at the University of Rochester have successfully transferred a longevity gene from naked mole rats to mice,leading to enhanced health and a longer lifespan for the mice. Unlike many other species,the rats do not often contract diseases-including cancer-as they age.Vera Gorbunova,the Doris Johns Cherry Professor of biology and medicine at Rochester,along with Andrei Seluanov,a professor of biology,and their colleagues have devoted decades of research to understanding the unique mechanisms (that the naked mole rats use to protect themselves against aging and diseases.The researchers discovered that HMW- HA is one mechanism responsible for the rats'unusual resistance to cancer.Compared to mice and humans,naked mole rats have about ten times more HMW-HA in their bodies.When the researchers removed HMW-HA from the rat cells,the cells were more likely to form tumors (肿瘤). —66 "Our study provides a proof of principle that unique longevity mechanisms that evolved in long-lived mammals can be exported to improve the lifespans of other mammals,"says Gorbunova.The Rochester researchers report in a study published in Nature that they successfully transferred a gene responsible for making HMW-HA from a naked mole rat to mice. This led to improved health and an approximate 4.4 percent increase in the median lifespan for the mice. By introducing a specific gene responsible for enhanced cellular repair and protection into mice,the researchers have opened exciting possibilities for unlocking the secrets of aging and extending human lifespan."It took us 10 years from the discovery of HMW-HA in the naked mole rat to showing that HMW-HA improves health in mice,Gorbunova says."Our next goal is to transfer this benefit to humans. They believe they can accomplish this through two routes:either by slowing down the degradation of HMW-HA or by enhancing HMW-HA synthesis."We hope that our findings will provide the first,but not the last,example of how longevity adaptations from a long-lived species can be adapted to benefit human longevity and health."Seluanov says. 5.What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A.The beneficial effects of HMW-HA on humans. B.The comparison between mice and humans in longevity. C.The process of transferring genes producing HMW-HA. D.The discovery of a unique mechanism for cancer resistance. 6.What can we learn about the Rochester researchers? A.They have uncovered the secrets of humans. B.They managed to end the weakening of HMW-HA. C.They are planning to export longevity genes to humans. D.They have spent 10 years trying to discover HMW-HA. 7.What does Seluanov think of the prospect of extending human lifespan? A.Hopeful. B.Profitable. C.Doubtful. D.Uncertain. 8.Which of the following is the best title for the text? A.Promise Shown in Control of Human Genes B.Scientists Successfully Transfer Longevity Gene C.Achievement Made in Extending Human Lifespan D.New Breakthrough Paves the Way for Curing Cancer 67 C (2o24届湖北省名校联考)With new advances in AI and autonomous driverless cars and trains,it makes sense that this mode of transportation could be expanded to buses too.Now a full-sized autonomous bus service is up and running in Scotland.The buses began running in May,2023 and are carrying passengers between Ferrytoll Park and the Edinburgh Park train and tram exchange.This 14-mile route is the first of its kind in the UK. The autonomous buses are being operated by Stagecoach,the largest coach operator in the UK.While the buses are autonomous,fully self-driving vehicles are not currently permitted in the UK,so they are required to have a safety driver to monitor the technology,and a bus captain that will help passengers board and purchase tickets.The driver can take control in case of an emergency situation.The vehicles use sensors to travel on specific routes and can reach the top speed of 50 mph.These autonomous buses are being trialed through 2025. It took almost 10 years of research and development and 1.8 million kilometers of practice runs to reach this milestone,which is considered the first full-size use of autonomous buses in Europe."There have already been short trials in several cities in Italy,Finland,and France and there are plans for driverless buses to be introduced in Switzerland,Germany,and Norway.We want Scotland to continue to be a leading figure in the development of autonomous vehicles and the start of this live trial will really help the country create its credit on the world stage,"said Kevin Stewart,Scottish transport minister. This project was one of six to receive funding from a joint UK government and Industry undertaking to speed up the commercialization of self-driving technology.The government hopes that the autonomous buses will be faster,more reliable,and safer to use than traditional buses since 88 percent of road accidents are caused by drivers'errors. 9.Why is a driver needed on an autonomous driverless bus? A.To help passengers board. B.To sell tickets to passengers. C.To check the fuel of the bus. D.To track the movement of the bus. 10.Which of the following is the effect of the autonomous buses on the UK? A.Increasing the income for the country. B.Building up its new position to the world. C.Causing drivers'unemployment. D.Improving its bad transportation system. 一68 11.What can we infer about the autonomous buses in the UK from the text? A.They are the first vehicles to use AI technology. B.They have been well received by the passengers. C.They are expected to cause fewer road accidents. D.They prove how important technology is to a country. 12.What is the best title for the text? A.Autonomous Buses Hit the Road in the UK B.Autonomous Buses Are Welcome Worldwide C.Autonomous Buses Have Come to Our Life D.Drivers Will Withdraw from the Historical Stage D (2024届福建省福州市八县市一中模拟)An international team of researchers from Sweden and the UK have developed an innovative way of interpreting biological signals produced by our skin.Using data obtained from a Philips wrist-worn wearable sensor device that can also measure movement,the researchers'system displays information in the form of colourful spiral graphics (螺旋图形)in real time on a smartphone,as well as a recording of data,for the wearer to interpret and reflect on. The prototype(雏形)visualisation system,called“Affective Health”,was developed by experts in Human-Computer Interaction looking into how new and emerging computer technologies can be used to design engaging visualisations on smartphones. A study group of 23 people were given the Affective Health prototype to use for a month. Importantly,the researchers purposely did not tell the participants what the devices were useful for.Instead,they gave guidelines that Affective Health could collect information relating to both physical and emotional reactions,how increased sweating increased the conductivity,and how this was represented by different colours.The participants were left to decide the best ways of using the technology. The researchers found that this open design stage of the study led to some participants using the system as a tool to measure and help manage their stress levels.While others,including outstanding athletes,used the device to get information on their training and recovery programmes.Other uses included logging information on their lives and tracking emotions.But interestingly,few would use the technology for more than one purpose. 69 Although the open design phase helped reveal several different practices Affective Health prototypes could be used for,the prototype lacked some of the functions needed to make it a good tool for a specific role-such as a sports training system,or as a stress management tool. The researchers found the need for a second,more tailored step in the design process to make devices specific to particular roles. 13.What were the participants unaware of about the prototype? A.Its function as a measuring tool. B.Its reactions to physical activity. C.Its colourful spiral graphics. D.Its specified uses. 14.What interested the researchers? A.People used the device quite differently. B.Few used the device to help better themselves. C.Many considered the device a single-purpose tool. D.Many purposely avoided the device's certain functions. 15.What can be learned about Affective Health? A.It has a rising market share. B.It causes trouble for users. C.It lacks competitiveness. D.It needs improvement. 16.What can be the best title for the text? A.Sweat,a Mood Detector? B.Time to Reflect on Ourselves? C.Colourful Sensors Gain Popularity D.Technologies Interpret Biodata from the Skin Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Ensuring that your home is as energy-efficient as it can possibly be is essential.Take the steps listed below,and you'll be living in an energy-efficient home in no time. 1 To stop it in its tracks,you must invest in having your house insulated ) Taking such action may demand some cost in advance,but it will be sure to save you over f100 a year when it comes to your energy bills. The old boilers (are not as energy-efficient as the very latest models in this field. 2 By investing in a top of the line boiler,you'll no doubt tap into a number of savings. What's more,making this kind of investment will also be sure to lower your home's carbon emissions. 70 Only when you know how much energy you use can you take action to be less wasteful and more resourceful in this instance.3 To assist you in taking on this extremely important challenge,you might want to consider fitting an energy monitor in your home.4 But if you're lucky,your electricity provider will give you one for free.This monitor will provide you and your family with constant updates on the amount of energy you are using on a day-to-day basis. With just twelve years (now seven years)to go until climate change alters earth forever, now is the time for you to play your part in protecting the planet that you live in.5 A.The investment demanded in this instance is significant. B.Taking such action will help you adapt to climate change. C.Generally,this type of device will cost between f25 and f40. D.It means you should try to keep track of energy consumption. E.By putting the above advice into practice,you'll be green soon. F.Most of your home's wasted energy will escape through your roof. G.It might be high time to update yours if you haven't done so for years.
