素养目标——精读真题语篇,阅读多维提能
|对接主题——科技发展|
(2022·全国乙卷·阅读理解C篇)Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.
[真题再做]
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。无人机将会在保证铁路的安全性和可靠性的同时,还能帮助铁路运营商每年节省大量费用。
1.What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?
A.The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B.Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.
C.The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D.Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.
解析:选A 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure”可知,无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。它们同样可以被用来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面。由此可知,无人机已经被用于检查高压电线,这使得无人机在铁路线上的应用成为可能。
2.What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Personnel safety.
B.Assistance from drones.
C.Inspection and repair.
D.Construction of infrastructure.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知,据计算,仅欧洲铁路每年就花费约200亿欧元用于维护,包括派遣维护人员、经常在夜间检查和维修铁路基础设施。由此可知,画线词指的是“检查和维修”。
3.What function is expected of the rail drones?
A.To provide early warning.
B.To make trains run automatically.
C.To earn profits for the crews.
D.To accelerate transportation.

一、题型思维建模
词义猜测题解题攻略(以第2题为例)
1.警惕易错易误——似是而非
本题易误选A。部分考生根据画线词所在句and后的“better protection of railway personnel safety”就误认为画线词maintenance与and后内容为近义表达,指的是人员的安全,从而误选A项。
2.内化题型技法——依据语义关联猜测词义
解答词义猜测题时,要从上下文的语义关联角度考虑。画线单词或短语的前后有时会出现其上下义的相关表达,这为判断该词或短语的意义提供了主要依据。
以本题为例,根据第三段第二句中的“including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure”可知,inspect and repair就是maintenance的下义词。由此可知,画线词指的是“检查和维修”。

Ⅴ.阅读理解
A
(2024·苏北四市调研)This year in March, I jumped into a heated pool in California to meet a dolphin named Delle. As I approached her, Delle turned towards me and became playful, greeting me by splashing me with her beak. Delighted, I reached out to pat her shiny skin. It felt rubbery, which was the main giveaway that the dolphin Delle was a robot.
Just as fake (假的) animals are becoming very realistic, it's becoming increasingly less acceptable to use live animals for entertainment purposes.Documentaries like Blackfish (2013) and The Cove (2009) have exposed some of the horrific treatment and suffering of ocean mammals. The resulting public protest has made aquariums (水族馆) controversial and has made them attract less visitors.
Arguably, entertaining people with captive (圈养的) animals is vital for animal conservation. Many zoos and aquariums actively try to promote conservation efforts by providing educational experiences and encouraging interest in the natural world. This type of entertainment is useful, because it inspires people to care.
At first, this seems like a reason to avoid replacing the animals with technology. However, research in the rapidly developing field of human-robot interaction is showing astonishing results on engagement with robots that can imitate lifelike behaviour. When physically interactive, robots attract a lot of attention. People tend to treat them like they're alive, even though they know perfectly well they're just machines.
If we start to replace the animals in our theme parks with machines, will this trend decrease our wonder for the natural world? A bunch of people expressed negative gut reactions (本能反应) after I posted the video of the robot dolphin on social media. And yet, I don't believe that using robot animals will cause us to forget the worth of living creatures.

(2024·福州质检)Someday, you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand.Instead, a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you.It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager, an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo, an inventor and dental researcher there, found a way to form the nanoparticles into long, skinny bristles (刷毛), a lot like the ones on a toothbrush.But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁).One goes each side of the teeth.The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets.When the magnets are turned off, the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid.As soon as one magnet gets turned on, the nanoparticles gather together near its center.When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one, the nanoparticles extend outward in long, skinny bristles.When there's a tooth in the way, these bristles can't stretch out as far as they want.So they push against the tooth's surface.If there's a gap between teeth, they push into the gap. Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth. All that motion cleans the teeth. As a bonus, the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept.The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use.“There's a lot of engineering to get from here to there, but every good idea needs to have a start,” said Steager.

课时作业(二)
Ⅰ.阅读七选五
(2024·大连双基测试)Back in January, I was determined to get fit seriously. __1__ But then just as I was close to giving up again, I discovered a brilliant new way to make exercise better: by turning it into a video game.
Zwift is essentially a cycling game that you control by riding your real bike, which is equipped with a device called a turbo trainer. This makes it like an exercise bike. As you ride, the trainer sends signals to your computer or tablet to control the character on the screen. __2__ For example, as you're cycling up a hill in the game, you can actually feel the different levels of resistance on the bike.
After signing up for a £ 12/month subscription, you can participate in virtual cycle rides in 3D recreations of real places, like London or fantastical fictional locations invented by the game designers. __3__ As you cycle along The Mall towards Buckingham Palace, other real human cyclists appear alongside you, sharing the journey. Though it is obviously only a game, just seeing the character move is surprisingly motivating.
__4__ Go a little faster and you'll be rewarded with a little achievement marker. If you ride harder, you might win a race against another real player and unlock a new item in a regular video game, which can never be matched by a traditional exercise bike.
I'm not the only person who has noticed this. __5__ Today there are many other companies chasing the same audience, and they all offer their own unique twists on the formula.
A.Zwift makes it easy to work out.
B.And importantly, you're not alone.
C.The rest of the tech industry has, too.
D.I played Zwift, a cycling game for training.
E.And then the game sends instructions back to the trainer.
F.Smartly, the tricks of video games will keep pushing you.
G.This would mean hours' stretching and sweating each week.

Ⅱ.读后续写
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
(2024·烟台模拟)With the start of new school, freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers.Among them, however, 15-year-old Sergio Peralta was feeling very nervous because his right hand had never fully formed since he was born.Going to a new school and being “different” is always scary.Sergio was particularly concerned with what his classmates would think of him.
Sergio's parents had trained him to use his left hand from an early age.As he grew up, he was used to not using his right hand.He could write with his left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques.Despite this, in the first days of new school, Sergio always felt like hiding his underdeveloped right hand in his sleeve as if nobody would ever find out if he did so.
It didn't take long for someone to learn Sergio's secret.Jeff Wilkins, the teacher of Sergio's engineering class, figured out that Sergio was missing part of his hand and decided to do something for the new student.Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and expert in 3D printing technology.Besides, he hoped to take advantage of this hands-on chance to help his robotics students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class, Jeff announced with great enthusiasm, “You're supposed to be engineering, coming up with new ideas and solving issues.Now Sergio needs a new hand, so we'll work together to build Sergio a robotic hand.” His words fueled everyone's curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks, Jeff and his class including Sergio worked on the project.After some precise measurements and researches, the class put forward a design draft.Jeff made a few adjustments and gave them some practical suggestions.With access to online models and a 3D printer, they eventually created a robotic hand, which was intended to look good and work well, like catching something.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then came the final testing day.________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
The life-changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention.________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Then came the final testing day.The whole class gathered in the science classroom, watching breathlessly as Jeff carefully loaded their self-made robotic hand onto Sergio's right arm.It fitted quite well! So excited was Sergio that his arm trembled slightly.Having put a baseball on the desk, Jeff signed to Sergio to pick it up.Slowly, Sergio extended his right hand and reached for the ball.Successfully he caught hold of it and everyone present broke into cheers! Holding the ball, Sergio couldn't contain his tears.Never in his life did he expect to catch something with his right hand!
The life-changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention.Jeff and his students became an instant hit and various media competed to cover the news.When interviewed about the intention of the project, Jeff said, “I intended Sergio's robotic hand to show our support for him.Meanwhile, I hope to foster students' scientific spirit through this hands-on operation.” His students stated that Jeff challenged them to transform abstract concepts into reality, from which they benefited greatly. Soon voluntary donations poured in, which would go to the school's scientific research and help students develop better.
