[2024·焦作二模]With the development of technology, we are now in a time of being “smart”. Smart city technologies have already been used in many places.
Internet of Things
It is like the blood vessels (血管) of a city, connecting everything to the Internet. Imagine when you are nearly home, your smartwatch can tell your home to turn on the lights. This can become a reality with the Internet of Things.
Big data analytics (大数据分析)
Big data analytics is the process where computers pick useful data. The technology can be used in many areas. For example, the data on your health can help doctors find out what illness you have. The data about the air can tell us about a coming storm or rain. Besides these, it can also recommend (推荐) articles and news according to the records read by the users.
Online maps
Baidu Map and Gaode Map are two typical online maps. They help people find their way from one place to another. Some online maps can refresh realtime data on cities. With their help, people can find out the busiest road and plan the best ways when traveling.
Artificial intelligence (AI)
AI can also help to deal with data. More importantly, it learns from the data and becomes a smart helper for us. AI can work as a TV host, a tour guide, or even help produce cars and make people’s work safer.

[2024·江西吉安期中]Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper. She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine.
Smart Schoolbag
Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush?
A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner (扫描装置) are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag, it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you.
Weather Sweets
Can you eat weather? A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day.
The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made.
Sunrise Bed
It’s hard for you to get up in the morning, isn’t it? To help you get up, a company has created a “tool”—sunrise bed.
It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, “The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it stops producing a chemical that helps you sleep. ”

[2024·济宁二模]An “air taxi” seems like science fiction, but you’ll probably be able to take one in the near future. On February 27, 2024, an eVTOL aircraft finished its first test flight in Guangdong and got a lot of attention from around the world.
The flight started from Shekou Cruise Homeport in Shenzhen to Jiuzhou Port in Zhuhai. The distance (距离) between these two places is about 60 kilometers. The whole trip took about 20 minutes while traveling by car usually takes about two to three hours. It will be a better choice for passengers to travel between Shenzhen and Zhuhai in Guangdong.
The eVTOL aircraft looks like a small plane. But unlike a plane, it doesn’t need a long runway to take off from and land on the ground. Instead, it can go straight up and down. This new aircraft is powered by electricity. It can work for 250 kilometers on a single charge. It can carry up to five people at a speed of up to 200 kilometers per hour.
The eVTOL aircraft was developed by a hightech company and was named Prosperity. The company is asking for a permit (许可证) for operation. If everything goes well, it is hoped that the aircraft will start carrying passengers in 2026.
Besides, Guangzhou is making efforts to encourage lowaltitude flights (低空飞行), which will be used in many areas such as lowair tourism, delivery (运输), and farming in the future. Many experts believe that the achievements of lowaltitude flights will make a great contribution to the city’s development.

[2023·商河县一模]Smart phones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have better cameras,but they are basically not different from the ones already in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping,and working for something new,something that will change our lives just as greatly as smart phones do. At the moment,the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to pick up your phone and look at the screen,all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you,in your glasses. Satellite navigation(导航)directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation,guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may sound impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example,one key technology is called AR,which can make digital 3D objects appear as if they are part of the real world. We’ve used it a lot on our video calls. Similarly,huge progress has been made in spatial audio. This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place,like what you hear in an empty room. Some highend earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize(识别)your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So,why aren’t we all wearing smart glasses yet?So far,no one has invented a good way to send images(映像)of our world onto glasses. However,with the rapid development of technology,smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
12. Why does the writer mention smart phones in Paragraph 1? _____
A. To start a story.
B. To introduce a topic.
C. To explain an idea.
D. To discuss a problem.
13. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about? _____
A. Why smart glasses should be changed.
B. How smart glasses would give directions.
C. Where smart glasses could be used.
D. When smart glasses might be made.
14. Which of the following technologies needs to be improved to invent smart glasses? _____
A. Sending images onto glasses.
B. Recognizing voices.
C. Creating digital 3D objects.
D. Making spatial audio.
15. How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses? _____
A. Bored. B. Hopeless.
C. Doubtful. D. Confident.

第二节 语法填空(共10小题;每小题1. 5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
[2023·沭阳县一模]Has anyone ever told you to “put a sock in it”?That might mean you are too 31 (noise) or you are talking too much. The person wants you to be quiet. It is a funny thing to say. How did this unusual expression come into being?
We know Thomas Edison 32 (invent) the light bulb and
many other things. He had one favourite invention. It was the
phonograph (留声机) or “talking machine”,which could record
sound and play it back. Edison felt so excited that he called it his
“baby”. 33 first,the sound that the machine produced was
very loud. And there was no way 34 (control) the volume (音量)
of sound. The sound that came from the horn (喇叭) was so loud
that people could hardly talk while the music was played. The noise gave some people headaches. To turn 35 the volume,people started putting socks into the horn to make the sound 36 (low). Until the 1930s,teenagers always put socks into their record players. It prevented their parents 37 (get) sick from the loud music.
38 (luck),a sound control was created. Then socks went back where they belonged—on people’s 39 (foot). Today,if people tell you to “put a sock in it”,you 40 (know) exactly what their meaning is.
【导语】本文主要介绍了“put a sock in it”这个短语是如何被创造出来的。
31. noisy 解析:考查形容词。由空前的程度副词too 可知,此处应填形容词noisy(吵闹的)。
32. invented 解析:考查动词过去式。由语境可知句子时态是一般过去时,所填词为句子的谓语动词,因此填动词过去式invented。
33. At 解析:考查介词。此处为固定搭配at first,意为“起初,一开始”。
34. to control 解析:考查动词不定式。根据句子结构可知此处用动词不定式作定语,修饰名词way,故填to control。
35. down 解析:考查副词。根据上文“The sound that came from the horn was so loud that people could hardly. . . ”可推知,人们把袜子放进喇叭里是为了降低音量,因此turn down“调低”符合语境。
36. lower 解析:考查形容词比较级。由语境可知,此处暗含与前面作比较,应填比较级lower。
37. getting 解析:考查动名词。prevent sb. (from)doing sth. 阻止某人做某事。因此填动名词getting。
38. Luckily 解析:考查副词。根据下文“a sound control was created(创建了一个声音控件)”,并结合句子结构可知,此处填副词Luckily(幸运的是)作状语。
39. feet 解析:考查名词。由空前的people可知填名词复数feet。
40. will know 解析:考查一般将来时。if引导的条件状语从句为一般现在时,主句应用一般将来时,因此应填will know。

阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
No Artist Required
[2023·南通二模]One day, Ammaar Reshi was playing around with a chat bot called ChatGPT, a computer program using artificial intelligence (AI) to copy the way human beings
think and write. Reshi then came up with an idea to use the AI program to make a children’s book. The story of the book came from a conversation Reshi had with the chat bot, about a girl called Alice. And then he used another AI program, Midjourney, to make illustrations (插图) for the book. Midjourney is a new AIpowered tool that can turn words into amazing artwork, like pictures.
The book,Alice and Sparkle, was done in just a couple of days. “Anyone can use these AI tools,” Reshi said. “And they’re not hard to use. ”
Reshi posted the book online after it was finished. Heated argument about it started at once. Some people liked the lovely story as well as the beautiful illustrations and praised Reshi for his smartness. But not everyone welcomed the birth of the
special book. Among them, artists were especially critical of it. They think the way the illustrations were made was a big problem. Midjourney searches through millions of pictures created by artists on the Internet. And then it manages to find patterns (式样) in those pictures and create new ones based on the patterns. Artists often upload their work online for people to enjoy. But Midjourney could be using their work without permission (允许).
“The main problem to me about AI is that it was taken from artists’ work,” illustrator Adriane Tsai says. “It’s our creations, our personal styles, that we did not permit them to use. ”
Many artists and writers are nervous about the future. Will people pay for their work if it can be done cheaper by using AI programs?
Some companies are already choosing AI over human talent. The San Francisco Ballet used pictures made with Midjourney to improve its production of the classic The Nutcracker. At a funny performance club, an AIpowered robot told jokes that made people laugh out loud. Journalist Abraham Riesman said, “It’s deeply troubling to see people looking for cheap alternatives (替代品) to actual human writing. ”
Reshi says technology companies should protect artists and writers whose work might be used by AI tools. He suggests that they should involve artists and writers in the process of creation.
