People throw about 4.5 trillion (万亿) of them into the environment every year. Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they are in the stomachs (胃) of sea turtles birds and other wildlife. A survey showed that though cigarette butts were everywhere, people paid no attention (注意) to them because they were so small. But now Dutch company Tech Tics is planning to help solve the cigarette problem with its Beach Bot (BB). It is a beach-cleaning robot. It uses AI to find cigarette butts on the beach. Even part of the butt in the sand can be found. BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. The way this robot works is very simple. Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to put them into a bin (垃圾箱). After it finishes cleaning, people will deal with (处理) the waste. However, BB still can’t tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell (贝壳). We can use the APP Microsoft Trove to help it. Anyone with a smart phone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them. BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in 30 minutes now. Though the robot works well without wasting time, scientists still hope that people can litter less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB will not be necessary. 39. Which of the following may NOT eat cigarette butts according to paragraph 1? A. Fish. B. Sea turtles. C. Birds. D. Humans. 40. Why did people pay no attention to cigarette butts? A. Because they’re useless. B. Because they’re small. C. Because they’re polluted. D. Because they’re expensive. 41. What kind of robot is Beach Bot? A. A beach-cleaning robot. B. A cooking robot. C. A chatting robot. D. A dancing robot. 42. What can we learn from the passage? A. People can use the APP Microsoft Trove to pick up rubbish. B. BB can tell the difference between a cigarette butt and a seashell. C. Dutch company Tech Tics made the Beach Bot to pick up cigarette butts. D. BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in an hour. 【答案】39. D 40. B 41. A 42. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款可以在沙滩上捡烟头的智能机器人。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they are in the stomachs (胃) of sea turtles birds and other wildlife.”可知，烟头可以杀死鱼，它们在海龟、鸟类和其它野生动物的胃里，由此可推测人类可能不会吃烟头。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“people paid no attention (注意) to them because they were so small”可知，人们没有关注烟头是因为它们太小了。故选B。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It is a beach-cleaning robot.”可知，它是一款沙滩清洁机器人。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But now Dutch company Tech Tics is planning to help solve the cigarette problem with its Beach Bot (BB).

Nobody needs me or loves me,” replied the sad tree. After knowing the reason, the family had a meeting. Joey wanted to make a seat under the sad tree. Joey’s father said he could help him. Then the family would sit under the tree and the tree wouldn’t feel sad anymore. When Joey told his special friends—four squirrels, two rabbits, and many colorful birds—that the tree was sad, they decided to do something to help make the sad tree happy again. Early the next morning when Joey woke up, he saw birds singing happily in the little tree and squirrels running up and down in it. Rabbits were eating the grass around the tree. The little tree was happy again. Joey ran inside to tell the good news to his family. “Let’s start to build the seat under the tree. I will need help to build it.

It can move heat out of buildings and into space. The scientists say the material can cool buildings even on hot days. The cooling material can be placed on the roof like solar panels (太阳能电池板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared radiation (红外辐射). Shanhui Fan is an electrical engineering professor at Stanford University. He says that the panels have a kind of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect (反射) the light from the sun. Both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. The material doesn’t get heated up by the sun because it can cool itself. So the panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5℃ below the temperature outside. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent into space without warming the air. He also says buildings in developing countries that do not have air conditioning can use the panels. Scientists say the big problem is developing an actual cooling system by using the high-tech panels. Nowadays, as much as 15% of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems. Scientists believe the cooling system can be developed in the next three to five years. It can greatly help save the energy. 50. How can the new material cool the buildings? A. By placing it on the ground. B. By turning sunlight into energy. C. By using solar panels. D. By turning heat into infrared radiation. 51. If it’s 35℃ outside, it will be about ________ in the building with the new panels. A. 25℃ B. 30℃ C. 5℃ D. 40℃ 52. What is the passage mainly about? A. A new kind of solar panel. B. A new kind of space material. C. A new kind of cooling material. D. A new kind of energy. 【答案】50. D 51. B 52. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了斯坦福大学科学家开发的一种可以将热量从建筑物中转移到太空中，为建筑物降温的新材料。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The cooling material can be placed on the roof like solar panels (太阳能电池板). However, instead of turning sunlight into energy as solar panels do, the material turns heat into infrared radiation (红外辐射).”可知，这种材料将热量转化为红外辐射。故选D。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5℃ below the temperature outside.”可知，它们可以将室内温度降低到比室外温度低近5°C，如果室外温度是35℃，那么室内温度会降到30℃，故选B。 【52题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists at Stanford University have developed a new material (材料) these days. It can move heat out of buildings and into space.”及全文可知，这篇文章主要介绍的是一种新的冷却材料，故选C。 请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题。 Last week we asked the students in No. 5 Middle School about their dream jobs.

B Do you know that cigarette butts (烟头) are the most common rubbish in our life? People throw about 4.5 trillion (万亿) of them into the environment every year. Cigarette butts can kill fish, and they are in the stomachs (胃) of sea turtles birds and other wildlife. A survey showed that though cigarette butts were everywhere, people paid no attention (注意) to them because they were so small. But now Dutch company Tech Tics is planning to help solve the cigarette problem with its Beach Bot (BB). It is a beach-cleaning robot. It uses AI to find cigarette butts on the beach. Even part of the butt in the sand can be found. BB has four wheels, two cameras and two arms to pick up cigarette butts. The way this robot works is very simple. Once it finds cigarette butts, BB just needs to put them into a bin (垃圾箱). After it finishes cleaning, people will deal with (处理) the waste. However, BB still can’t tell the difference between things like a cigarette butt and a small seashell (贝壳). We can use the APP Microsoft Trove to help it. Anyone with a smart phone can send BB photos of cigarette butts to help the robot learn to know them. BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in 30 minutes now. Though the robot works well without wasting time, scientists still hope that people can litter less. If people stop throwing their cigarette butts onto the beach, robots like BB will not be necessary. 39. Which of the following may NOT eat cigarette butts according to paragraph 1? A. Fish. B. Sea turtles. C. Birds. D. Humans. 40. Why did people pay no attention to cigarette butts? A. Because they’re useless. B. Because they’re small. C. Because they’re polluted. D. Because they’re expensive. 41. What kind of robot is Beach Bot? A. A beach-cleaning robot. B. A cooking robot. C. A chatting robot. D. A dancing robot. 42. What can we learn from the passage? A. People can use the APP Microsoft Trove to pick up rubbish. B. BB can tell the difference between a cigarette butt and a seashell. C. Dutch company Tech Tics made the Beach Bot to pick up cigarette butts. D. BB is able to pick up 20 cigarette butts successfully in an hour. C Brian was a funny student.

He says that the panels have a kind of material that is like sand. The panels act like a mirror. They take heat out of buildings and reflect (反射) the light from the sun. Both the heat and sunlight are sent 100 kilometers into outer space. The material doesn’t get heated up by the sun because it can cool itself. So the panels are cool to the touch, even in the sun. Researchers say they can reduce the indoor temperature to nearly 5℃ below the temperature outside. Mr. Fan says it is like having a window into space. The heat is sent into space without warming the air. He also says buildings in developing countries that do not have air conditioning can use the panels. Scientists say the big problem is developing an actual cooling system by using the high-tech panels. Nowadays, as much as 15% of the energy used in the United States is spent providing power to air conditioning systems. Scientists believe the cooling system can be developed in the next three to five years. It can greatly help save the energy. 50. How can the new material cool the buildings? A.
