Do you want to know what it feels like to fly like a bird? Find your answers in Time Magazine's 25 "Best Inventions". Here, we have picked out the most interesting 4 to share with you. Talking Gloves Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the "helping hand" you need. Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others. The gloves are equipped with sensors that recognize sign language and translate it into text on a smartphone. Then the smartphone changes the text to spoken words. Google Glasses Google Glasses are like a computer built into the frame of a pair of glasses. With its 1.3-centimeter display, the glasses allow you to surf the Internet and make calls without even lifting a finger. The glasses also have a camera and GPS mapping system. Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right. Indoor Clouds It's not virtual.That's a real world. Dutch artist Smilde managed to create a small but perfect white cloud in the middle of a room using a fog machine. But it required careful planning—the temperature, humidity（湿度）and lighting all had to be just right. Once everything was ready, the cloud formed in the air with the machine. But it only lasted for a short while. Wingsuits The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.Well, not exactly flying, but gliding（滑翔）through the air. It increases the surface area of the human body, which makes it easier for people to float in the air. Fliers wearing wingsuits can glide one kilometer in about 30 seconds. 1. Who will probably be the users of “Talking Gloves”? A. Disabled people B. Normal people. C. Trained people. D. Working people. 2. How can users of Google Glasses surf the Internet? A. By moving the mouse. B. By tapping the keyboard. C. By moving the eyeballs. D. By pressing the button. 3. Which of the following can help you fly? A. Talking Gloves. B. Wingsuits. C. Google Glasses. D. Indoor Clouds. 【答案】1. B 2. C 3. B 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇应用文，介绍了四个有趣的发明。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the "helping hand"you need.”可知，说话手套能够帮助人们理解残疾人的手语，再结合它的工作原理可知，它的使用者可能是正常人，故B项正确。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Users can take and share photos, check maps and surf the Internet just by looking up, down, left and right.”可知，戴上谷歌眼镜，只需上下左右移动眼球就可以上网，故C项正确。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The suit fulfills your dreams of flying like a bird.”可知，飞行服能够让人们“飞行”，故B项正确。 【点睛】本篇第1题难度较大，A项的迷惑性很大，很多同学会根据第二段中的“Four Ukrainian students have created a pair of gloves that helps people with hearing and speech problems communicate with others.”(四名乌克兰学生发明了一种手套，可以帮助有听力和语言问题的人与他人交流)而误选A项，但根据第二段中的“Ever felt confused by the sign language used by disabled people? Here is the "helping hand"you need.”可知，说话手套能够帮助人们理解残疾人的手语，再结合它的工作原理可知，它的使用者可能是正常人，而不是残疾人。 B Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest. After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times. For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.” “Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook. Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.” 4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do? A. To teach her students painting. B. To prepare for her presentation. C. To ask her students to draw on it. D. To help her students with their homework. 5. What do we know about the finished dress? A. It took Haley by surprise. B. It is kept by Haley at home. C. It is the product of a new idea. D. It has enjoyed popularity online. 6. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example? A. Buy the same dress online. B. Give the kids enough time. C. Buy the same markers in Walmart. D. Leave the finished work untouched. 7. Why did Haley carry out the project? A. To teach art to her students. B. To show her idea on Pinterest. C. To share it with other teachers. D. To excite her students' creativity. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文。讲述了一名叫Haley的老师为学生提供一件白裙子，让他们在裙子上作画，以激发学生的创造力的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第一句“…and last year she bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate…”可知她买这件朴素白裙，是因为她在班上建立了一个站点让班上的同学能够装饰这件裙子。也就是在洁白的裙子上画自己喜欢的图案等。故选C。 【5题详解】 判断推理题。根据第二段“After the kids had finished the design, she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times.”可知在孩子们完成设计之后，老师的举动让同学们大吃一惊。她穿上它在教室展示，并且拍照上传到脸谱网上，并且被分享超过20万次。故可推测这件裙子在网络上很受欢迎。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.”可知这位老师告诉其他想要效仿的老师因为只要时间允许就会在裙子各个地方作画，所以至少需要2周到一个月的时间才能完成。由此可知，要给学生充裕的时间，以便他们不要赶工。故选B。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话“We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.”她之所以这么做的原因是她们学校没有开设艺术课，她总是努力让学生尽可能做一些创造性的项目。由此可知，她的目的是激发学生的创造性。故选D。 C For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can ’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ’No, thanks. I ’m amusic, ’” says Margaret. 8. Amusics are the people who ______. A. like music B. are born unable to enjoy music C. don ’t like music D. have poor listening 9. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ______. A. they know they cannot enjoy music B. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centers C. they try to stay at the place full of music D. they are not understood by others 10. What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists? A Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing. C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Some people ’s inability to enjoy music. B. Some people ’ s musical ability. C. Amusics ’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了没有享受音乐的能力的一类人，被称为amusic，他们之前都没有得到统一的诊断或者认识, 直到现在才知道自己的问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes.（amusic是指天生就没有欣赏音符的能力。）”可知amusics指的是那些生来就没有享受音符的能力的人。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的 “Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic.（对于amusics来说，生活是艰难的。事实上，大多数人无法理解音乐是什么感觉。）”可知amusics生活可能很难,因为大多数人不明白他们的感觉。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段开头 “Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music.（科学家们说，amusics的大脑不同于那些能享受音乐的人。）”可知，导致amusics与大多数人不同的原因是他们的大脑不同，故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。全文主要讲述的是没有享受音乐的能力的一类人，被称为amusic，他们之前都没有得到统一的诊断或者认识,直到现在才知道自己的问题。A选项“Some people's inability to enjoy music（一些没有欣赏音乐能力的人）”。故选A。 D For your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS). While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks. According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen? Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests. If any of this is going to happen, however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space. So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name. 12. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph? A. It is quite affordable. B. It will be built in Russia. C. It will offer an amazing view. D. It costs $ 40 million to build. 13. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. An orbital suite. B. Space tourism. C. Space exploration. D. A creative idea. 14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space. B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day. C. Space travel is not possible without the Internet. D. Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online. 15. The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with A. fun and games B. financial support C. space contractors D. more time in space 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。短文报道了俄罗斯正计划在外层空间建造一家豪华酒店。在那里你会醒来看到一个令人惊叹的蓝色星球地球！该酒店预计将驻扎在国际空间站（ISS）。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth!”可知，在那里你会醒来看到一个令人惊叹的蓝色星球地球！所以它将提供令人惊讶的景色。故选C。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段中“While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before.”虽然太空旅游本身并不完全是一个新奇的想法，但是在那里建造一个酒店的想法以前还没有被提出过。 所以事实上，其他公司仍然把重点放在太空旅游的运输方面。可知，“the puzzle”指的是“太空旅游”，故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?”可知，因为如果你不能在社交媒体上分享你的经历，这真的发生过吗？由此判断出游客们喜欢在网上分享旅行经历。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests.”可知，显然，太空旅游可能会帮助俄罗斯支付另一个太空舱的费用。俄罗斯太空承包商安吉亚太空公司(RKK Energia)目前正在建造第一个这样的太空舱，这将为科学家提供一个实验室和供电站，以便他们那里进行测试。由此判断出该酒店将为俄罗斯科学家提供资金支持。故选B。 【点睛】 推理题常见的提问形式：常以infer，imply，suggest，conclude，learn，intend，mean，describe，purpose等词提问。或提问中含有表示推测的情态动词，如can，could，might，would等和其他表示可能性的动词，如probably，most likely等。本题第3小题，3. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?根据第三段中“Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen?”可知，因为如果你不能在社交媒体上分享你的经历，这真的发生过吗？由此判断出游客们喜欢在网上分享旅行经历。故选D。故选D。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Create Good Study Habits for Exams With good study habits, you’ll be able to reduce your pressure and take your exams with confidence. ___16___, your new habits will be part of your life soon.

He recalled the incident that made him argue with his mother and he moved out of the house like a storm. His eyes were filled with tears. He had a quarrel with his mother from morning. His mom asked about his low grades in the recent exam. Stephen didn’t care too much about his carelessness and did not reply to her well. She scolded (责备) him again in the evening for being so careless. He quarreled with his mother. The quarrel ended up so badly that Stephen left his home. He walked for more than hours. He smelled a nice flavor from a shop and was attracted by the sweet smell. He couldn’t resist the smell of that nice flavor and he felt very hungry. It was a small noodles shop and he stopped by the shop. Suddenly he realized there was not even a single penny in his pocket. Tired and hungry, he stood there for a minute but decided to leave. The shop owner saw him and asked him to have some food. Stephen said he had no money to pay for the food. The shop owner smiled, saying, “It’s OK. I won’t ask you any money.” The shop owner prepared a hot bowl of sweet and delicious noodles. Stephen ate the noodles, feeling that he owed something to the shop owner. He promised to return his favor. Stephen was in tears when he ate the noodles. The shop owner asked what happened to him.

He patted the boy’s shoulder and said, “Hey, young guy, think about how much your mom loves you.” Stephen thought of the moment when he was a little kid. In fact, his mother carried him in her arms. She cooked the delicious food for him. She played games with him. He also remembered that when he failed in the exam, she comforted him with all her heart and kept him company over the night. She was there for him whenever he needed her. Stephen realized his mistake and thanked the shop owner: He rushed home in a hurry. He saw his mother standing at the door with tears in her eyes. Seeing his coming, his mother stepped forward, saying, “You must be hungry! I have cooked the meal you like best. Come and have it now.” He hugged his mother tightly, streaming with tears and said. “I am terribly sorry, Mom. I am wrong and I will never quarrel with you again.

B Haley Curfman, 25, of Blackwell, Oklahoma, is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain(朴素的) white dress, which she set up a station in her classroom for her students to decorate, encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time. Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it, having first seen the idea on Pinterest. After the kids had finished the design she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class, sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200, 000 times. For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students, Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than $ 20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project. She used markers from Walmart. But she said these things can be bought in other places. She said, “To do the project, I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers. It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows. You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry.” “Teachers have been sharing their dresses, T-shirts, etc. with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea. It is amazing, and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me! Thank you all so much for your kindness and support,” she wrote on Facebook. Asked why she came up with the idea, Haley told Scary Mommy. “We don't have art in our school, so, I always try to do little creative projects when possible.” 4. What did Haley use the plain white dress to do? A. To teach her students painting. B. To prepare for her presentation. C. To ask her students to draw on it. D. To help her students with their homework. 5. What do we know about the finished dress? A. It took Haley by surprise. B. It is kept by Haley at home. C. It is the product of a new idea. D. It has enjoyed popularity online. 6. What should a teacher do if he or she wants to follow Haley's example? A. Buy the same dress online. B. Give the kids enough time. C. Buy the same markers in Walmart. D. Leave the finished work untouched. 7. Why did Haley carry out the project? A. To teach art to her students. B. To show her idea on Pinterest. C. To share it with other teachers. D. To excite her students' creativity. C For some people, music is no fun at all. About 4% of the population is what scientists call “amusic”. People who are amusic are born without the ability to enjoy musical notes. Amusic people often cannot tell the differences between two songs. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. In fact, most people cannot understand what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping center can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics have to stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in social loneliness. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify (辨别) this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from those of people who can enjoy music. The difference is complex(复杂的), and it is not connected with poor hearing. Amusics can understand other non-musical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding common speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just can ’t see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed (诊断). For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her music problem. Now she knows that she is not alone. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say ’No, thanks. I ’m amusic, ’” says Margaret. 8. Amusics are the people who ______. A. like music B. are born unable to enjoy music C. don ’t like music D. have poor listening 9. Life is hard for amusics mainly because ______. A. they know they cannot enjoy music B. they hate parties, restaurants or shopping centers C. they try to stay at the place full of music D. they are not understood by others 10. What causes amusics to be different from most people according to scientists? A. Their lack of colors. B. Their poor hearing. C. Their brains. D. Their problems with speech. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Some people ’s inability to enjoy music. B. Some people ’ s musical ability. C. Amusics ’ strange behaviors. D. Diagnosis and treatment of amusics. D For your next out-of-this-world vacation, you now have the option of literally going out of this world—but it’ll cost you $ 40 million. Then again, can you really put a price tag on having the time of your life? According to a new report from Popular Mechanics, Russia is looking to build a luxury hotel in outer space. There you will wake up to a breathtaking blue planet—the earth! The hotel is expected to be stationed on the International Space Station (ISS). While space tourism itself isn’t exactly a novel idea, the notion of building a hotel out there hasn’t been raised before. Really, other companies are still focused on the transportation part of the puzzle — after all, a trip to space is enough for most folks. According to Popular Mechanics, the hotel will include a luxury orbital suite with big windows, personal hygiene (卫生) facilities, exercise equipment, and yes, WiFi. Because if you can’t share your experience on social media, did it really even happen? Of course, the reasons behind the hotel aren’t just for fun and games. Apparently, space tourism might be able to help the Russians pay for another module to add to the international Space Station. Russian space contractor RKK Energia is currently building the first such module, which will give scientists a laboratory and power supply station from which to conduct tests. If any of this is going to happen however, Russia is going to have to hurry. With the ISS expected to be out of use in 2028, there’s little time to build the hotel and find wealthy tourists to actually buy a trip into outer space. So if you’ve recently come into a fortune and are interested in investing in what could be the time of your life, ISS is calling your name. 12. What do we know about the hotel from the first paragraph? A. It is quite affordable. B. It will be built in Russia. C. It will offer an amazing view. D. It costs $ 40 million to build. 13. What does the underlined phrase “the puzzle” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. An orbital suite. B. Space tourism. C. Space exploration. D. A creative idea. 14. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Hotel guests won’t be able to see into space. B. Visitors are required to take exercise each day. C. Space travel is not possible without the Internet. D. Tourists tend to share traveling experiences online. 15. The hotel will be built to provide Russian scientists with A. fun and games B. financial support C. space contractors D. more time in space 第二节(共5小题；每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分) 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Create Good Study Habits for Exams With good study habits, you’ll be able to reduce your pressure and take your exams with confidence. ___16___, your new habits will be part of your life soon.
