(时间：120分钟　满分：150分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Inventors are always at work, dreaming up new technologies.Some inventions help us solve problems.Others make life easier, or more fun.Here, TFK(Time for Kids) presents 3 of our favorite inventions.See how they make us live a better life. Stopping Sickness Christine Schindler is an engineer.She wanted to help stop the spread of foodborne illnesses.So she created PATHSPOT.It uses light to scan a person's hands for harmful germs.Restaurant employees hold their hands beneath the scanner.Then the scanner judges whether they must be rewashed.About 100 locations have started using the product since it launched in May. Talking Eyes For people who are blind or have other visual problems, the ORCAM MYEYE 2 could be a game changer.It might also prove useful for people with reading difficulties.Described as “talking glasses”， this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame.It can identify faces.It can also read text aloud.Fitting all this power into such a small device is like “putting an elephant in a small closet，” says Amnon Shashua, the inventor of the technology.Now the device can be bought online. Sport­safe Research shows that playing football increases the risk of brain injury.Still, about a million kids under the age of 13 play football, according to the Sports & Fitness Industry Association.That's where the VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH football helmet comes in.It has thick, force­absorbing support on the front and sides, where kids are likely to take the hardest hits on the field.Players on 1，500 youth teams have worn the helmet. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一些科技新发明。 1．What is the function of PATHSPOT? A．Killing the germs on hands. B．Checking if hands are clean. C．Rewashing employees' hands. D．Stopping the reproduction of germs. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据Stopping Sickness中“So she created PATHSPOT.It uses light to scan a person's hands for harmful germs.”可知，这个发明物是用来检查手上是否干净。 2．Which of the following is the feature of Talking Eyes? A．Low­noise.　　　 B．Portable. C．Single­function D．Power­saving. 解析：B　细节理解题。根据Talking Eyes中“ Described as ‘talking glasses’， this AI device can be attached to any eyeglass frame.”可知，这种眼镜方便携带。portable便携式的，符合题意。 3．What can we learn about VICIS ZERO1 YOUTH? A.It is available to the public now. B．It improves kids' football skills. C．It is designed for kids under 13 only. D．Its front and sides are the hardest. 解析：A　文章出处题。根据Sport­safe中“Players on 1，500 youth teams have worn the helmet.”可推知，这项发明已经被公众使用。 B Ren Yamin, an entrepreneur who has been deaf since birth, is using technology to make communication for the hearing impaired easier than ever before through the smart glasses — using artificial intelligence and cloud technology to translate voice into text and project it onto lenses. The idea for the glasses first came to Ren while he was studying at the University of California, Los Angeles in 2005.However, it was not until after his studies that he could begin bringing his idea to life.While working at a tech company called Integrine, Ren learned a great deal about cloud computing and AT technology.Upon leaving the company and establishing Seeing Voice, Ren launched a cloud platform based on AI and deep learning technologies in 2018 called 40DADOW. With money coming in from angel investors, Ren said the next stage for his company would be raw material purchase and expansion.A classmate from the University of Science and Technology of China, Zhou Hui, who works as a vice­president at a Fortune 500 company, has provided the parts to make the glasses. At an event held in Toronto, Canada, all 100 of Ren's prototype glasses sold out.“What I need is not wealth, but to help Chinese who can barely hear, ” Ren said, who achieved more success after selling up his company Seeing Voice in the Shanxi Transition and Comprehensive Reform Demonstration Zone in Taiyuan, capital of the province.The company began selling the smart glasses several years ago, and production bases covering 5.33 hectares were put into operation by the end of 2021. In the next few years, Seeing Voice will provide 500 jobs and is projected to generate $2.86 million in tax revenue after 2023, local media reported. [语篇解读]　这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了发明智能眼镜Seeing Voice的企业家任亚敏， 介绍了其个人经历以及事业上的成就。Seeing Voice让听力受损的人比以往任何时候都更容易进行交流， 且未来的应用前景广阔。 4．What can we learn about Ren from the passage? A．A sudden accident resulted in Ren's deafness. B．Ren put his idea into use when he was at university. C．Ren got down to developing the glasses the moment he resigned. D．Ren had a good command of AI knowledge when studying at university. 解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段中第三、四句可知任在一家名为Integrine的科技公司工作时， 学到了很多关于云计算和技术方面的知识。任离开公司并创建了Seeing Voice, 于2018年推出了基于AI和深度学习技术的云平台40DADOW。由此可推断， 任一辞职就开始着手研发Seeing Voice眼镜。故选C。 5．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．Only at the end of 2021 can the smart glasses be purchased on the market. B．Ren makes the smart glasses totally on his own. C．The purpose of the entrepreneur is to achieve more success by making profit. D．The future application of the smart glasses is promising. 解析：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知， 据当地媒体报道， 在未来几年内， Seeing Voice将提供500个工作岗位， 并预计在2023年后创造286万美元的税收收入。由此可推断， 智能眼镜的应用前景广阔。故选D。 6．Which of the following statements best describes the main idea of the passage? A．Ren Yamin — an entrepreneur developed Seeing Voice. B．Smart glasses — Ren's remarkable invention making voices “heard”． C．40DADOW — a cloud platform based on AI. D．Seeing Voice — a successful company earned lots of money. 解析：B　主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了企业家任亚敏发明了一款智能眼镜 Seeing Voice, 利用人工智能和云技术将声音翻译成文本， 并投射到镜片上， 能够让听力受损的人更容易进行交流。并且成立公司， 致力于生产和销售智能眼镜， 预测在2023年后创造286万美元的税收收入。故B选项“智能眼镜——任亚敏的非凡发明， 让声音‘被听到’”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 7．Where does the passage probably come from? A．A culture column. B．A fictional story. C．A news report. D．A fashion magazine. 解析：C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“local media reported”及全文内容可推知， 文章最有可能选自新闻报道。故选C。 C In the fictional worlds of film and TV, artificial intelligence (AI) has been described as so advanced that it is indistinguishable from humans.But what if we're actually getting closer to a world where AI is capable of thinking and feeling? Tech company UneeQ is heading for its “digital humans”， which appear lifelike on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements: raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod.They look close to a human, but not quite. What lies beneath UneeQ's digital humans? Their 3D faces are modeled on actual human features.Speech recognition enables them to understand what a person is saying, and natural language processing is used to work out a response.Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a “digital brain” that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions “felt” and “expressed” by its “digital people”． Shiwali Mohan, an AI scientist at the Palo Research Center, is skeptical of these digital beings.“They're humanlike in their looks and the way they sound, but that in itself is not being human，” she says.“Human qualities also involve how you think, how you approach problems, and how you break them down; and that takes a lot of algorithmic (算法) design.Designing for human­level intelligence is a different attempt than designing images that behave like humans.” She then continues，“If something looks like a human, we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively (直觉地) know how other humans react.” Yet the demand is there, with UneeQ seeing high adoption of its digital employees across the financial, health care, and commercial sectors (行业).“Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind，” says Chetan Dube, UneeQ's CEO. Some other companies are taking their digital beings a step further, enabling organizations and individuals to create digital humans themselves using free­access platforms they provide.“The biggest motivation for such platforms is to popularize AI，” Dube says. Mohan is cautious about this approach, yet she supports the purpose behind these digital beings and is optimistic about where they're headed.“As we develop more advanced AI technology, we would then have to use new ways of communicating with that technology，” she says.“Hopefully, all of that is designed to support humans in their goals.” [语篇解读]　本文为说明文。文章主要讲述了“数字人”的发展现状以及科学家对这种数字生物的态度。 8．According to Para.2, in what respect(s) do UneeQ's “digital humans” resemble human beings? A．In the way they move around. B．In the way they act and react. C．In observation and analysis. D．In speech and facial expressions. 解析：D　细节理解题。 根据第二段中“Tech company UneeQ is heading for its ‘digital humans’， which appear lifelike on the screen not only in terms of language, but also because of facial movements：raised eyebrows, a smile, even a nod.”可知，UneeQ的“数字人”不但在语言方面与人类无甚差异而且在面部动作方面栩栩如生，即在言语和面部表情上与人类相似。 9．Why is Soul Machines'“digital brain” a technological breakthrough? A．Because it learns to make proper emotional responses. B．Because it tends to imitate human beings' tone vividly. C．Because it recognizes the speech sounds it receives. D．Because it processes the natural language it hears. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Meanwhile, another AI company, Soul Machines, is taking a more biological approach, with a ‘digital brain’ that imitates aspects of the human brain to adjust the emotions ‘felt’ and ‘expressed’ by its digital people.”可知，之所以说Soul Machines的“数字大脑”是一项技术突破，是因为Soul Machines正采取一种更生物化的方法，使用“数字大脑”模仿人类大脑的各方面，以调整“数字人”“感受”和“表达”的情绪，即学会做出适当的情绪反应。 10．In Mohan's opinion, what human quality is lacking in digital beings? A．Calculating brain. B．Language skills. C．Instinctive judgements. D．Problem­solving ability. 解析：C　推理判断题。 根据第四段中“If something looks like a human，we have high expectations of them, but they might behave differently in ways that humans just instinctively know how other humans react.”可知，“数字人”只是直觉地认识别人的反应，而与人类的表现方式会不同，由此可推断出数字人缺乏人类的直觉判断素质。 11．What makes many sectors employ digital humans? A.The fear of falling behind in efficiency. B．The urgency to promote e­commerce. C．The wish to spread digital technology. D．The need to upgrade the health care system. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据第五段中“Unless these sectors make their business models much more efficient digitally, they might be left behind”可知，许多行业雇用“数字人类”是因为如果这些行业在商业模式数字化方面不能做到更高效，就可能会被甩在后面，即对在效率方面落后的担心。 D The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University has turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named “DriveLAB” in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are. Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well­being among older people, leading them to become more isolated (孤独的) and inactive. Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in­vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life. These include custom­made navigation (导航) tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptation.Phil Blythe explains：“For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.” “But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.” Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, “The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.” “For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30 mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at the risk of getting fined.We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.” “We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.” [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员为了解决老年司机存在的问题，开发了定制导航工具、夜视系统和智能速度适应的车载技术。 12．What is the purpose of the DriveLAB? A．To explore new means of transport. B．To design new types of cars. C．To find out older drivers' problems. D．To teach people traffic rules. 解析：C　细节理解题。 根据文章第一段中The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University has turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named ‘DriveLAB’ in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.”可知，DriveLAB可以了解老年司机所面对的挑战，发现关键点在哪里。故选C。 13．Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe? A．It keeps them independent. B．It helps them save time. C．It builds up their strength. D．It cures their mental illnesses. 解析：A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Phil Blythe explains: ‘For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.’”可知，开车对于保持老年司机的独立性很重要，让他们可以自由地出去走动。故选A。 14．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers? A．Improve their driving skills. B．Develop driver­assist technologies. C．Provide tips on repairing their cars. D．Organize regular physical checkups. 解析：B　推理判断题。根据文章第五段中“The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.”和第六段中“We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.”及最后一段“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”可知研究人员为了能够用技术解决老年司机面临的问题，正在研究一种控制速度的系统——开发驾驶员辅助技术。故选B。 15．What is the best title for the text? A．A new electric car model B．A solution to traffic problems C．Driving service for elders D．Keeping older drivers on the road 解析：D　标题归纳题。 根据文章内容，可知本文主要讲述研究人员想利用技术解决老年司机存在的问题，以此帮助老年司机，故Keeping older drivers on the road符合全文主旨，其他题目都太片面，不足以概括全文。故选D。 第二节(共5小题； 每小题2.5分， 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文， 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How Mobile Technology has Changed Our Lives Forever The invention of the mobile phone and mobile technology was incredible. 16 Here we highlight the most common ones that technology is changing our lives today. ·Mobile technology has changed how we communicate.

John murmured, “Sorry, teacher，” and quickly stepped to his seat.Mr Tan glared at the rest of the students.The laughter quickly died down.John's classmates always looked forward to Mondays.Nine times out of ten, they would be entertained by John's late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.That day, it was the pyjama top and green sandals. John lived just a street away from the school.He walked to school daily.Students passing by in buses would yell his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks.Although John was adorable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends.His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time.Only Harry, who sat next to John, tried to be his friend. The following Monday, John did not turn up at school.His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him.After school, Harry decided to walk over to John's house to check on him.As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music.John must be listening to music, he thought.The gate was not locked.Harry let himself in.He called John's name a few times but there was no response.The music played on.Harry peered in through a window.His eyes widened in surprise.In the middle of the living room, John was playing the violin.His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow over the strings expertly.He played perfectly, so much so that it sounded like a recording.Harry left quietly. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右。 2．请按如下格式作答。 When Teacher's Day came around, Harry had a plan. When he started to play, the audience fell silent. One possible version： When Teacher's Day came around, Harry had a plan.It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers.Every class had to contribute an item.Harry convinced the class to let John perform.Short of ideas, the class agreed.When the invitation approached John, he jumped at it.On the day of the concert, both the teachers and students were surprised to see the school's clumsiest student walking on stage with a violin. When he started to play, the audience fell silent.Jaws dropped.Everyone was stricken dumb with amazement and also carried away by the beautiful notes flowing from the strings.There were no more judgments on John's dressing or behavior, but the entertainment by his remarkable performance.As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence.Then the audience erupted into thunderous applause.John became a sensation and had many fans in his final year of school though he still arrived at the class wearing an inside­out shirt or mismatched shoes. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
