Asimo The primary focus of the robot is to help people. Asimo travels all around the world, making people aware how robots can make life easier and help humans. It can dance, run and even kick a soccer ball. The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese, Chinese and English. Created by: Honda (Japan) Sophia It is a realistic example of a perfect robot because it has about 50 different facial expressions just like humans. Sophia is primarily designed for education, research and entertainment. It travels throughout the world explaining to people the importance of robots inhuman life. Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China) Atlas Its body shape is so dynamic that it can use its all body skills to move quickly and balance itself on diverse terrains (地形). The robot is capable of performing many different tasks but some favorite tasks are running, jumping and turning over. Its advanced AI systems make it capable of sensing barriers and negotiating diverse terrains. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) Spot Spot is an animal robot, or say a dog robot, because it looks very similar to a dog. Spot can search around your office, home, playground etc. as a normal dog usually does. Spot has some outstanding functions. For example, it can map your environment, sense barriers, and lift packages. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) 1. Which of the following characterizes Asimo? A. Its high speed. B. Its facial expressions. C. Its physical appearance. D. Its language ability. 2. Which robot is created by China? A. Asimo. B. Sophia. C. Atlas. D. Spot. 3. What do Atlas and Spot have in common? A. They can change their body shapes. B. They can carry small packages. C. They can detect barriers around. D. They can help do some housework. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了目前人类发明的最先进的四个机器人。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Asimo部分的“The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese, Chinese and English.(该机器人可以用三种不同的语言与人交流，包括日语、汉语和英语。)”可知，Asimo的特征是它的语言能力。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Sophia部分的“Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China)(由中国香港的汉森机器人公司制造)”可知，Sophia是由中国制造的。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Atlas部分的“Its advanced AI systems make it capable of sensing barriers and negotiating diverse terrains.(其先进的人工智能系统使其能够感知障碍物并通过各种地形。)”以及Spot部分的“Spot has some outstanding functions. For example, it can map your environment, sense barriers, and lift packages.(Spot有一些突出的功能。例如，它可以映射您的环境、感知障碍和举起包裹。)”可知，这两个机器人的相同之处在于能探测周围的障碍物。故选C。 B How much do you know about gorillas (大猩猩)? Do you know how they communicate？What do they probably want to express by beating their chests? Last summer, my father invited my three younger sisters and me on an unforgettable trip to Africa. The vacation showcased several things about our family dynamic, especially the likeness between our father and the silverback gorilla we spotted there. The evening before our off-road hike into gorilla territory, our guide taught us the basics of gorilla communication. He said these primates (灵长目动物) communicate through sounds that we would mimic (模仿) along our hike to announce our friendly arrival：“Ah-ha-hmmmmm,” he said slowly, and urged us all to practice. My sisters and I turned to each other in shocked amusement. This hoarse (嘶哑的)sound was not unknown to us, for our father had mastered it over the years. Whatever the cause, our father cleared his throat constantly. We felt reassured that should a gorilla attack, we would be safe with our husky-voiced father present. The next day, we embarked on our hike. About 45 minutes in, our guide found a gorilla family, and we moved slowly toward them to observe. The likeness between these creatures and humans was beyond what we had imagined. While my sisters and I gasped (倒吸气) as the gorilla family went through their morning routine, our father stood back, hands behind his. back. He had urged us ahead while he trailed behind. As the gorilla family came closer, everyone stilled. Instructions to begin the long “Ah-ha-hmmmmm” sound were quickly forgotten as our mouths dropped open. The 450-pound gorilla was frightening. Its sheer size and muscular build were shocking, considering its plant-based diet. Although looking straight into the male gorilla’s eyes was discouraged, it didn’t take much more than a glimpse to see the wisdom and kindness beneath its stern face. This look seems to follow many gentle giants, including my father. At one point, the silverback stood up straight and pounded its chest while watching its young play, and my sisters and I suddenly remembered to say: “AH-HA-HMMMMM- WELCOME IN PEACE!!” Our father watched the beast quietly, with understanding and respect in his eyes. Like the silverback, my father is an observer and protector. He can sense danger from afar and act swiftly (迅速地)when needed，just as we witnessed with the silverback. These fathers are intelligent problem solvers. They may not shower their young with affection, but they love fiercely in their own unique ways. We are lucky to have a silverback gorilla as a father. 4. Why did the author’s family learn the “Ah-ha-hmmmmm” sound before trekking into gorilla territory? A. To identify different types of gorillas. B. To scare off any gorillas from attacking. C. To communicate their peaceful intentions. D. To create a distraction if they needed to escape. 5. How did the author feel after realizing her father’s throat-clearing sounded like the sound gorillas make? A. Concerned. B. Comforted. C. Entertained. D. Embarrassed. 6. What did the author discover about the male silverback gorilla when looking at it closer? A. It had a kind heart. B. It was full of curiosity. C. It was smaller than usual. D. It was rather fierce. 7. In what way does the author compare her father to the silverback gorilla? A. Both are affectionate role models. B. Both are aggressive defenders. C. Both are determined leaders. D. Both are observant protectors. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章主要通过叙述作者及其家人去非洲旅行观察大猩猩的经历，以及在此过程中对父亲与银背大猩猩之间相似性的感悟，展现了作者对家庭、亲情以及自然界中父性角色的深刻理解。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“He said these primates (灵长目动物) communicate through sounds that we would mimic (模仿) along our hike to announce our friendly arrival：“Ah-ha-hmmmmm,” he said slowly, and urged us all to practice. (他说，这些灵长类动物会通过我们徒步时会模仿的声音进行交流，以此宣告我们友好的到来：“啊-哈-嗯——”，他慢慢地说着，并催促我们大家都练习一下。)”可知，导游让作者在踏入大猩猩领地之前学会“Ah-ha-hmmmmm”这个声音是为了表达我们是友好的。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“My sisters and I turned to each other in shocked amusement. This hoarse (嘶哑的) sound was not unknown to us, for our father had mastered it over the years. Whatever the cause, our father cleared his throat constantly. We felt reassured that should a gorilla attack, we would be safe with our husky-voiced father present. (我和妹妹们面面相觑，既惊讶又觉得好笑。这个嘶哑的声音对我们来说并不陌生，因为多年来父亲已经掌握了这种发声方式。不管是什么原因，父亲总是不断地清嗓子。我们确信，如果有大猩猩攻击我们，有我们这位嗓音沙哑的父亲在，我们就会很安全。)”可知，作者觉得有父亲在身边她们会很安全，也就是说，当作者意识到她父亲清嗓子的声音听起来像大猩猩发出的声音后，她感到安慰。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Although looking straight into the male gorilla’s eyes was discouraged, it didn’t take much more than a glimpse to see the wisdom and kindness beneath its stern face. (虽然不建议直视雄性大猩猩的眼睛，但只需匆匆一瞥，就能在它严厉的面容下看到智慧和善良。)”可知，当作者更仔细地观察那只雄性银背大猩猩时，作者发现那只雄性银背大猩猩严厉面容下有着善良和智慧。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Like the silverback, my father is an observer and protector. He can sense danger from afar and act swiftly (迅速地) when needed，just as we witnessed with the silverback. These fathers are intelligent problem solvers. They may not shower their young with affection, but they love fiercely in their own unique ways. We are lucky to have a silverback gorilla as a father. (就像银背大猩猩一样，我的父亲也是一个观察者和保护者。他能从远处感知到危险，并在需要时迅速行动，就像我们目睹银背大猩猩所做的那样。这些父亲都是聪明的问题解决者。他们可能不会对自己的孩子表现出太多的情感，但他们以自己独特的方式深爱着他们。我们很幸运能有一位像银背大猩猩一样的父亲。)”可知，作者认为自己的父亲和银背大猩猩一样都是观察者和保护者。故选D。 C Picture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone — well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute, and you’re back on the phone. Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria battery” — powered by bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity. “This is a special organism,” Lovely said. “You can harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.” In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage. The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It’s also cheap and stable as sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment. The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas. 8. This passage is mainly about _______. A. how to change sugar into electricity B. a scientific invention of a new kind of bacteria battery C. a new way to reduce pollution caused by mobile phones D. a new kind of mobile phones and its future 9. Which of the following is NOT a strength of the newly-developed battery? A. Convenient. B. Stable. C. Inexpensive. D. Quick. 10. The underlined sentence in the 7th paragraph actually means _______. A. the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy B. scientists will continue their work until they find solar power C. there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery D. the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 or 30 years 11. According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery particularly useful? A. Teachers. B. Drivers. C. Electricians. D. Doctors. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家发明了一种“细菌电池”，靠吃糖并将其转化为电的细菌提供动力。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria battery” — powered by bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity.( Swadesh Chaudhuri和Derek Lovely发明了“细菌电池”——由吃糖并将其转化为电的细菌提供动力。)”以及后文对本电池的详细介绍可知，文章主要介绍这一“细菌电池”的新发明，故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar.(但是糖转化为电的过程很慢：细菌可能需要几周的时间才能消化一杯糖。)”可知，这一新发明的电池的缺点在于糖转化为电的过程很慢，故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章划线句前的内容“The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely.(科学家明白还有很多工作要做。说道：“它还处在起步阶段。”)”可知，这一电池还处于初期阶段，想要完善它，还有很多工作要做，故划线句“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.(我们现在所处的位置是二三十年前的太阳能的位置。)”意为“细菌电池”还有很大的提升空间，故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas.(其他的想法包括利用血液中的糖来驱动人体内的医疗设备，以及从动物粪便中提取糖来为农村地区的家庭提供能源。)”可知，此处提到可以利用血液中的糖来驱动人体内的医疗设备，故医生应该是觉得它特别有用的，故选D。 D As a new age of genetic research draws near, soon, we may be able to choose the hair color, build the IQ of our offspring. Should we change embryos (胚胎) to improve intelligence or physical characteristics? A beauty editor believes it will be difficult to stop the demand for “designer babies” once the technology is in place. “Once genetic scientists can change embryos to produce more beautiful children, there will be consumer demand,” she says. She acknowledges that fashion magazines may be partly responsible for fueling this discontent with a certain kind of appearance, but claims one cannot blame the media alone if people believe a bit of plastic surgery (整形手术) will transform their lives. “Like it or not,” she argues, “we know that the pretty applicant gets the job and the best-looking actor gets the part.” Well-known plastic surgeons agree with this view. “People are looking for respect and self-confidence in a dog-eat-dog world that measures us by our appearance,” one specialist claims. “I understand their anxiety and offer a solution — cosmetic enhancement (整容美化). The next logical step, medically speaking, is genetic enhancement, which would endow (赋予) the unborn child with similar physical advantages.” Some philosophers also approve of genetic intervention (介入). As one of them put it, “What parent doesn’t wish for a beautiful, healthy baby? Why is it morally unacceptable to use technology to grant that wish? Moreover, a child designed to have high intelligence or sporting ability would hardly have grounds for complaint.” However, many people are deeply disturbed by the idea of embryo enhancement. Some fear it will lead to a reduction in genetic differences, resulting in a lack of tolerance for diversity and disability. “And who is to say that this future generation of Barbies will be content?” asks the beauty editor. In her experience, people who pursue physical perfection through plastic surgery aren’t necessarily satisfied. They may suffer unwanted side effects — insecurity and increasing dissatisfaction with their self-image. What if the subjects of genetic intervention, or their parents, were to feel similarly dissatisfied? 12. What does the underlined phrase “this view” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. People are often judged by their looks. B. Cosmetic surgery reduces people’s lives. C. The media make people worry about their looks. D. People prefer genetic enhancement to plastic surgery. 13. What is the attitude of the philosopher to genetic enhancement? A. Ambiguous. B. Disapproving. C. Agreeable. D. Cautious. 14. According to the last paragraph, what feeling of doubt does the beauty editor have about genetic enhancement? A. Those who receive it may not like the results. B. It will make future generations look like Barbies. C. The money it requires should be spent on general medical care. D. It will raise the standards of physical beauty to unattainable levels. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The advantages of genetic enhancement. B. The development of genetic enhancement. C. The promising future of genetic enhancement. D. People’s different perspectives on genetic enhancement. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论人们对美化基因的不同观点。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“People are looking for respect and self-confidence in a dog-eat-dog world that measures us by our appearance（在一个以貌取人的世界里，人们在寻求尊重和自信）”可知，this view指的是人们经常被评论外貌，故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Some philosophers also approve of genetic intervention (介入).（一些哲学家也赞同基因介入）”可知，哲学家对基因美化持赞同的态度，故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段““And who is to say that this future generation of Barbies will be content?” asks the beauty editor. In her experience, people who pursue physical perfection through plastic surgery aren’t necessarily satisfied.（美容编辑问：谁能说将来这代的芭比娃娃会满意？在她的经历中，那些追求完美身体的人在经过整形手术后不一定会满意）”可知，美容编辑担心接受基因美化的人可能对结果不满意，不喜欢，故选A项。 【15题详解】 文章大意题。根据第二段“A beauty editor believes it will be difficult to stop the demand for “designer babies” once the technology is in place.（一个美容编辑相信一旦科技准备就绪，那么停止人们设计婴儿将是很难）”及第四段“Some philosophers also approve of genetic intervention (介入).（一些哲学家也赞同基因介入）”及最后一段“However, many people are deeply disturbed by the idea of embryo enhancement.（然而许多人对胚胎美化这个想法很不安）”可知，文章主要介绍人们对美化基因的不同观点，故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Our friends Nick and Carol moved to Australia in 2017. My husband and I finally saved up enough money to visit them in Sydney. From the very first day, I had this feeling that here was a place where I could imagine fitting in.

My little brother Andy was following me, with a sleeping bag, a flashlight, and his stuffed bear. My friends Wade and Bred think Andy would ruin everything. He would get scared in the middle of the night and have to be taken back to the house. They complained so much you'd think they were hospital patients instead of kids I'd invited for an outdoor sleepover. Andy promised that he wouldn't ruin anything. He wormed his way into the tent and settled in the far corner. Night was settling in, too, with the woods around us fading toward black. The house, with its porch light, seemed a long way from us. “Time for ghost stories!” Brad announced as soon as I'd closed the tent. He told a story about vampires （吸血鬼）, but it only made us fall over laughing. When it was Wade's turn, he told a story of three guys who were camping in a tent. He described our situation exactly-except for Andy. When he was describing a terrifying creature, somewhere outside, a branch snapped （发出咔嚓声）。The hairs on my arms shot straight up. “These guys were crawling into their sleeping bags, right?” Wade continued. “When out of the darkness rang this terrible cry.” And out of the woods behind us there was a cry! High-pitched, frightening, and strange. The hairs on my head shot straight up! “What was that?” Bred asked as the cry came again. We all looked at each other in horror, speechless. Wade suggested someone should go out to check, but no one dared. “What if it's something trapped or hurt?” Andy said anxiously. We focused our flashlights on Andy, whom we'd forgotten, sitting in the corner with his arms around his bear. Andy would adopt every lost or hurt animal in the world if Mom would let him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 “I'm going to see.” Andy ran out of the tent and disappeared in the darkness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy said it was a baby monkey caught between branches, and it was crying for its mama. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“I’m going to see.” Andy ran out of the tent and disappeared in the darkness. Although filled with fear, I ran after him without hesitation. He was my little brother after all. Andy was headed into the woods, his flashlight beam wobbling along the trail. Finally I saw him, a few yards ahead, with his flashlight aimed at the upper branches of a large tree. I raised my own light to shine on the same spot. A pair of shining eyes seemed to float in the darkness. My heart pounded harder. Andy said it was a baby monkey caught between branches, and it was crying for its mama. I knew he was right. I had to admit that Andy was impressive. We helped the little monkey out carefully. Having ensured that the little monkey was in good condition, we let it go. When we walked down back, I could see the guys gathered before the tent. “Are you all right?” They asked. “We’re fine.” I answered with a broad smile, knowing that the guys’ opinion of Andy would change, too. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者带着弟弟安迪一起去户外过夜，朋友不想让安迪和他们一起，安迪独自一人搭了个帐篷，在作者和朋友说鬼故事时外面发出了响声，安迪很有勇气的出去帮助了一只夹在树枝的猴子的故事。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我去看看。”安迪跑出帐篷，消失在黑暗中。”可知，第一段可描写安迪出去找出响声的场面。 ②由第二段首句内容“安迪说那是一只夹在树枝间的小猴子，它在哭着找妈妈。”可知，第二段可描写安迪的勇气使作者的朋友的态度改变。 2.续写线索：出去——惊恐——真相大白——救助——回去——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.充满：be filled with/be full of/abound with ②.举起：raise/lift/upborn 情绪类 ①.小心翼翼：out carefully/with great care/very cautiously ②.积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Robotics technology has just landed in the workplace and there is a lot of work to do. Below we’ll discuss some of the best and most advanced robots ever made by humans. Asimo The primary focus of the robot is to help people. Asimo travels all around the world, making people aware how robots can make life easier and help humans. It can dance, run and even kick a soccer ball. The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese, Chinese and English. Created by: Honda (Japan) Sophia It is a realistic example of a perfect robot because it has about 50 different facial expressions just like humans. Sophia is primarily designed for education, research and entertainment. It travels throughout the world explaining to people the importance of robots inhuman life. Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China) Atlas Its body shape is so dynamic that it can use its all body skills to move quickly and balance itself on diverse terrains (地形). The robot is capable of performing many different tasks but some favorite tasks are running, jumping and turning over. Its advanced AI systems make it capable of sensing barriers and negotiating diverse terrains. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) Spot Spot is an animal robot, or say a dog robot, because it looks very similar to a dog. Spot can search around your office, home, playground etc. as a normal dog usually does. Spot has some outstanding functions. For example, it can map your environment, sense barriers, and lift packages. Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States) 1. Which of the following characterizes Asimo? A. Its high speed. B. Its facial expressions. C. Its physical appearance. D. Its language ability. 2. Which robot is created by China? A. Asimo. B. Sophia. C. Atlas. D. Spot. 3. What do Atlas and Spot have in common? A. They can change their body shapes. B. They can carry small packages. C. They can detect barriers around. D. They can help do some housework. B How much do you know about gorillas (大猩猩)? Do you know how they communicate？What do they probably want to express by beating their chests? Last summer, my father invited my three younger sisters and me on an unforgettable trip to Africa. The vacation showcased several things about our family dynamic, especially the likeness between our father and the silverback gorilla we spotted there. The evening before our off-road hike into gorilla territory, our guide taught us the basics of gorilla communication. He said these primates (灵长目动物) communicate through sounds that we would mimic (模仿) along our hike to announce our friendly arrival：“Ah-ha-hmmmmm,” he said slowly, and urged us all to practice. My sisters and I turned to each other in shocked amusement. This hoarse (嘶哑的)sound was not unknown to us, for our father had mastered it over the years. Whatever the cause, our father cleared his throat constantly. We felt reassured that should a gorilla attack, we would be safe with our husky-voiced father present. The next day, we embarked on our hike. About 45 minutes in, our guide found a gorilla family, and we moved slowly toward them to observe. The likeness between these creatures and humans was beyond what we had imagined. While my sisters and I gasped (倒吸气) as the gorilla family went through their morning routine, our father stood back, hands behind his. back. He had urged us ahead while he trailed behind. As the gorilla family came closer, everyone stilled. Instructions to begin the long “Ah-ha-hmmmmm” sound were quickly forgotten as our mouths dropped open. The 450-pound gorilla was frightening. Its sheer size and muscular build were shocking, considering its plant-based diet. Although looking straight into the male gorilla’s eyes was discouraged, it didn’t take much more than a glimpse to see the wisdom and kindness beneath its stern face. This look seems to follow many gentle giants, including my father. At one point, the silverback stood up straight and pounded its chest while watching its young play, and my sisters and I suddenly remembered to say: “AH-HA-HMMMMM- WELCOME IN PEACE!!” Our father watched the beast quietly, with understanding and respect in his eyes. Like the silverback, my father is an observer and protector. He can sense danger from afar and act swiftly (迅速地)when needed，just as we witnessed with the silverback. These fathers are intelligent problem solvers. They may not shower their young with affection, but they love fiercely in their own unique ways. We are lucky to have a silverback gorilla as a father. 4. Why did the author’s family learn the “Ah-ha-hmmmmm” sound before trekking into gorilla territory? A. To identify different types of gorillas. B. To scare off any gorillas from attacking. C. To communicate their peaceful intentions. D. To create a distraction if they needed to escape. 5. How did the author feel after realizing her father’s throat-clearing sounded like the sound gorillas make? A. Concerned. B. Comforted. C. Entertained. D. Embarrassed. 6. What did the author discover about the male silverback gorilla when looking at it closer? A. It had a kind heart. B. It was full of curiosity. C. It was smaller than usual. D. It was rather fierce. 7. In what way does the author compare her father to the silverback gorilla? A. Both are affectionate role models. B. Both are aggressive defenders. C. Both are determined leaders. D. Both are observant protectors. C Picture the scene: the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone — well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute, and you’re back on the phone. Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria battery” — powered by bacteria that eats sugar and turns it into electricity. “This is a special organism,” Lovely said. “You can harvest enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.” In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacteria that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage. The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It’s also cheap and stable, as sugar can be taken from waste and crops. But the sugar to electricity process is slow: it could take weeks for the bacteria to digest a cup of sugar. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment. The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely. “Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.” But he believes the battery could be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Other ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body, and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in rural areas. 8. This passage is mainly about _______. A. how to change sugar into electricity B. a scientific invention of a new kind of bacteria battery C. a new way to reduce pollution caused by mobile phones D. a new kind of mobile phones and its future 9. Which of the following is NOT a strength of the newly-developed battery? A. Convenient. B. Stable. C. Inexpensive. D. Quick. 10. The underlined sentence in the 7th paragraph actually means _______. A. the bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy B. scientists will continue their work until they find solar power C. there is much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery D. the bacteria battery will get popular in 20 or 30 years 11. According to the passage, who will find the bacteria battery particularly useful? A. Teachers. B. Drivers. C. Electricians. D. Doctors. D As a new age of genetic research draws near, soon, we may be able to choose the hair color, build the IQ of our offspring. Should we change embryos (胚胎) to improve intelligence or physical characteristics? A beauty editor believes it will be difficult to stop the demand for “designer babies” once the technology is in place. “Once genetic scientists can change embryos to produce more beautiful children, there will be consumer demand,” she says. She acknowledges that fashion magazines may be partly responsible for fueling this discontent with a certain kind of appearance, but claims one cannot blame the media alone if people believe a bit of plastic surgery (整形手术) will transform their lives. “Like it or not,” she argues, “we know that the pretty applicant gets the job and the best-looking actor gets the part.” Well-known plastic surgeons agree with this view. “People are looking for respect and self-confidence in a dog-eat-dog world that measures us by our appearance” one specialist claims. “I understand their anxiety and offer a solution — cosmetic enhancement (整容美化). The next logical step, medically speaking, is genetic enhancement, which would endow (赋予) the unborn child with similar physical advantages.” Some philosophers also approve of genetic intervention (介入). As one of them put it “What parent doesn’t wish for a beautiful, healthy baby? Why is it morally unacceptable to use technology to grant that wish? Moreover, a child designed to have high intelligence or sporting ability would hardly have grounds for complaint.” However, many people are deeply disturbed by the idea of embryo enhancement. Some fear it will lead to a reduction in genetic differences, resulting in a lack of tolerance for diversity and disability. “And who is to say that this future generation of Barbies will be content?” asks the beauty editor. In her experience, people who pursue physical perfection through plastic surgery aren’t necessarily satisfied. They may suffer unwanted side effects — insecurity and increasing dissatisfaction with their self-image. What if the subjects of genetic intervention, or their parents, were to feel similarly dissatisfied? 12. What does the underlined phrase “this view” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. People are often judged by their looks. B. Cosmetic surgery reduces people’s lives. C. The media make people worry about their looks. D. People prefer genetic enhancement to plastic surgery. 13. What is the attitude of the philosopher to genetic enhancement? A. Ambiguous. B. Disapproving. C. Agreeable. D. Cautious. 14. According to the last paragraph, what feeling of doubt does the beauty editor have about genetic enhancement? A. Those who receive it may not like the results. B. It will make future generations look like Barbies. C. The money it requires should be spent on general medical care. D. It will raise the standards of physical beauty to unattainable levels. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The advantages of genetic enhancement. B. The development of genetic enhancement. C. The promising future of genetic enhancement. D. People’s different perspectives on genetic enhancement. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Our friends Nick and Carol moved to Australia in 2017.

My little brother Andy was following me, with a sleeping bag, a flashlight, and his stuffed bear. My friends Wade and Bred think Andy would ruin everything. He would get scared in the middle of the night and have to be taken back to the house. They complained so much you'd think they were hospital patients instead of kids I'd invited for an outdoor sleepover. Andy promised that he wouldn't ruin anything. He wormed his way into the tent and settled in the far corner. Night was settling in, too, with the woods around us fading toward black. The house, with its porch light, seemed a long way from us. “Time for ghost stories!” Brad announced as soon as I'd closed the tent. He told a story about vampires （吸血鬼）, but it only made us fall over laughing. When it was Wade's turn, he told a story of three guys who were camping in a tent. He described our situation exactly-except for Andy. When he was describing a terrifying creature, somewhere outside, a branch snapped （发出咔嚓声）。The hairs on my arms shot straight up. “These guys were crawling into their sleeping bags, right?” Wade continued. “When out of the darkness rang this terrible cry.” And out of the woods behind us there was a cry! High-pitched, frightening, and strange. The hairs on my head shot straight up! “What was that?” Bred asked as the cry came again. We all looked at each other in horror, speechless. Wade suggested someone should go out to check, but no one dared. “What if it's something trapped or hurt?” Andy said anxiously. We focused our flashlights on Andy, whom we'd forgotten, sitting in the corner with his arms around his bear. Andy would adopt every lost or hurt animal in the world if Mom would let him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 “I'm going to see.” Andy ran out of the tent and disappeared in the darkness. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Andy said it was a baby monkey caught between branches, and it was crying for its mama. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-5 ABCCA 6-10 CBBAC 11-15 BACBA 16-20 BABAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
