We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status. Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 26. If people know others “status”, they know ________. A. what they are like B. what they are doing C. if they are at home D. how they are going 27. The writer mentions livestreaming to show ________.

Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】26. D 27. B 28. C 29. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一些能够保护人民免于灾难的现代科技。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据“And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status.”可知，一些社交媒体平台允许人们在灾难发生后将自己标记为安全的，这样其他人就可以知道自己的状态，也就是人们可以知道他们情况如何。故选D。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021.”可知，直播能够在灾难过后帮助筹集大量资金。故选B。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。纵观全文，本文介绍了一些能够保护人民免于灾难的现代科技。因此本文的目的在于告诉读者一些技术是如何在灾难中发挥作用的。故选C。 【29题详解】 篇章结构题。根据“While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters.”可知第一段总领全文，根据“The drone is one of them.”可知第二段介绍无人机，根据“Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters.”和“Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news, so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas.”可知第三段和第四段介绍社交媒体，根据“Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster”可知最后一段总结，因此选项A符合。故选A。 (B) Computers are useful machines.

We even know where and when some disasters, like the typhoon, come. While most of the new technologies are far away from us, some around us can help people in disasters. The drone（无人机）is one of them. It can be used to send food, water and other important things when a natural disaster happens. Very often the buildings are too dangerous for rescue teams to get in. They can make the drone fly into the buildings to search for those who are still alive first. Social media is also a useful tool when it comes to natural disasters. With its help, people can know about the natural disasters before they hit. And some social media platforms allow people to mark themselves as safe after disasters so others can know their status. Social media is also a place for up-to-the-minute news so people can learn what is going on in the disaster areas. Besides, many social media platforms allow people to donate money to help people in disaster areas. The money will help them get back to their normal life as soon as possible. For example, livestreaming（直播）helped raise a lot of money for Henan after the flood in 2021. Although these technologies can help when there is a natural disaster, we still need to prepare necessary tools and learn important skills to protect ourselves. 26. If people know others “status”, they know ________. A. what they are like B. what they are doing C. if they are at home D. how they are going 27. The writer mentions livestreaming to show ________.

The purpose of the passage is to ________. A. tell readers what to do when disasters come B. advise readers to use social media more often C. tell readers how some technologies help in disasters D. ask readers to learn necessary skills for natural disasters 29. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. (B) Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems people can’t do easily. Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve their studies in school. Yet many of the children use computers to play games, to watch videos or to sing songs, instead of studying. So many teachers and parents complain that computers can not help children study but make them fall behind. So computers are locked by parents in the boxes. In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers. They say computers make millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of troubles. Will computers really bring troubles to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves. 30. How does paragraph 1 show that computer are useful? A. By comparing. B.
