专题05 阅读理解CD篇解题要点及专项训练 一．解题思路 （一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。 （二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。此时，不要忙于答题。 （三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点： 1. 抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When（时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。 2.抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。 3.注意领会文章的寓意。 4.根据题意，初选答案。这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。 二．常用的解题方法有如下几种： ① 直接解题法。即从原文中直接找出答案。 ② 归纳解题法。对于不能从原文中直接找出答案的可在把握全文中心和线索的前题下进行概括、归纳得出正确答案。 ③ 综合推理法。读者需统观全文，认真分析，综合推理及至计算，最后归纳出正确答案。 题干中有"suggest, conclude, conclusion, probably, reason, because, according to“等字眼时，属于推断概括型，考查内容着眼于全篇，考生应具备一定的分析归纳，推理等逻辑思维能力。 ④ 捕捉关键词。在阅读时应该注意与问题相关的同义词，近义词，反义词或同位词等信息词来得出正确答案。 ⑤ 转换解题法。即原文这么说，而在问题和所给选项中则用另外的词去转换一种说法，但仍表示同一含义。 ⑥ 排除法。根据语言，句法结构，信息词和常识，在没有把握的选项中用排除法得出正确答案。 三．重读原文，仔细斟酌核对答案。 在解完最后一道题后，如果时间允许，再将原文读一遍；用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。 1.（23-24九年级上·浙江台州·期末） Do you ever find yourself sleeping during your daily work? It’s so common to feel sleepy and tired during the day these days because you have to work non-stop and have no time to have a good nap (小睡). Some people might think you are lazy if you take a nap during the work. But a lot of studies have shown that taking a nap can have a good influence on productivity and creativity. In order to make it easier for people to get good naps anywhere, a company from Japan has made a new kind of sleeping box—Giraffenap. Just as the name suggests, it means in the sleeping box, you will have a nap while standing, just like the posture of the giraffe. The designer says napping while standing or lying down are both effective. But if you lie down, you may fall deeply asleep and have difficulty waking up. Your brain will feel foggy and you’ll be too sleepy to focus on your work. But napping while standing can relax both mind and body in a short time. What’s more, in the sleeping box, you can shut out light and nap in a dark and quiet place which provides a good sleeping environment. Last but not least, the boxes save space. They are about the size of a public phone booth, so there’s no need for a special sleeping room with beds. Now the Giraffenap boxes are put in coffee shops and restaurants all over the country. As long as you pay about 41 yuan, you can take a short nap for half an hour in the box and get a cup of coffee for free. And if it is accepted well, we might see them in other places as well. Do you want to have a try? 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．You can lie down in the Giraffenap. B．Napping while lying down is not good. C．You can be more creative after taking a nap. D．If you feel sleepy during the work, it means you are lazy. 2．What does the underlined word “effective” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Active. B．Useful. C．Real. D．Wise. 3．What are the advantages of the sleeping box? ① It’s cheap. ② It takes little space. ③ It can make you sleep well soon. ④ It can improve your sleeping environment. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 4．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare two kinds of napping. B．To introduce a new kind of sleeping box. C．To advise customers to try the new product. D．To show the advantages of the Giraffenap box. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了站立式睡眠舱的功能和优点。 1．细节理解题。根据“But a lot of studies have shown that taking a nap can have a good influence on productivity and creativity.”可知，但是很多研究表明，小睡对生产力和创造力有积极影响。故选C。 2．词句猜测题。根据“The designer says napping while standing or lying down are both effective.”并结合下文描述可知，设计师说，无论是站立还是躺着小睡都有效果，“effective”的意思是“有效的”。故选B。 3．细节理解题。根据“But napping while standing can relax both mind and body in a short time… in the sleeping box, you can shut out light and nap in a dark and quiet place which provides a good sleeping environment. Last but not least, the boxes save space.”可知，站着小睡可以在短时间内放松身心，睡眠舱里提供了一个良好的睡眠环境，睡眠舱节省空间。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了站立式睡眠舱的功能及优点，文章最后作者提出“Do you want to have a try?”，你想要试一试吗？故作者写本文的目的是为了向大家介绍一种新的睡眠舱。故选B。 2.（23-24九年级上·浙江绍兴·期末） New Glasses Can Transcribe (转录) Speech in Real Time When Paul Shuttleworth bought himself a very expensive pair of eyeglasses for Christmas last year, it was a strange gift. The glasses didn’t improve his eyesight, weren’t particularly stylish and uncomfortably pressed down on his nose. But the glasses are an important tool for him which have helped him talk and join in conversations in ways that he had never been able to before. These fantastic glasses automatically (自动地) transcribe the words someone is saying and show the text on his glasses. Real-time captioning (为……配字幕) is not a totally new technology. People who are deaf or hard of hearing usually use apps such as Otter to transcribe a conversation as they’re having it. But having to ping-pong between the person they’re talking with and their phone can be uncomfortable and tiring. However, having captions in front of your eyes can change the situation. Improvements in speech recognition software (语音识别软件) have really enabled these technological developments, says Dan Scarfe, CEO of XRAI Glass, a company that makes a speech-processing app that can be used with live-captioning glasses. “I believe in about six months we’ll have a new killer piece of hardware that you can surely use for this. Then it’s just a question of finding people who want to use it,” Dan says. While live-captioning glasses could be an unbelievably powerful tool for millions of people, they are not a complete solution. For many people with hearing loss, understanding a friend in a crowded restaurant is a bad dream. Similarly, live-captioning software struggles to transcribe correct conversation in these spaces. Background noise remains a big problem that these glasses do not yet fully solve. Many people who are deaf or hard of hearing are excited by this technology, but some see it as a danger to requests for sign language interpreters (手语翻译). Captions do not show a speaker’s identity, feelings or voice changes; interpreters can give all background information. 1．Paul Shuttleworth bought a pair of expensive glasses to ______. A．prove he was very rich B．make himself look handsome C．improve his eyesight D．help himself in communication 2．According to the passage, Dan Scarfe ______. A．takes pride in their company’s new product B．has got well trained in making speech recognition apps C．thinks it possible for everyone to afford their products D．knows well how to help those with hearing problems 3．The 5th paragraph mainly tells us about ______. A．where living-captioning glasses can be used B．who would love to buy living-captioning glasses C．what challenge living-captioning glasses face D．how living-captioning glasses can work better 4．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．live-captioning glasses are important tools for everyone B．technologies cannot completely take the place of humans C．interpreters can change the speaker’s feelings D．the new glasses may be dangerous to users 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了一款能实时转录语音的新型眼镜，介绍了它的作用及存在的问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“But the glasses are an important tool for him which have helped him talk and join in conversations in ways that he had never been able to before.”可知，这款眼镜可以帮助他更好地参与对话。故选D。 2．推理判断题。根据“‘I believe in about six months we’ll have a new killer piece of hardware that you can surely use for this. Then it’s just a question of finding people who want to use it,’ Dan says.”可推知，Dan Scarfe对他们公司的新产品感到自豪。故选A。 3．主旨大意题。根据“While live-captioning glasses could be an unbelievably powerful tool for millions of people, they are not a complete solution.”及“Background noise remains a big problem that these glasses do not yet fully solve.”可知，本段主要讲了活字幕眼镜仍然面临着挑战。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Captions do not show a speaker’s identity, feelings or voice changes; interpreters can give all background information.”可推知，科技并不能完全取代人类。故选B。 3.（23-24九年级上·河北廊坊·期末） In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems like everything has been greatly improved. But there is one thing unlike them. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained unchanged until now. I’m talking about a blind walking stick. The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time. However, it hasn’t really been improved, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that. He hoped his invention would help the blind. He invented a smart stick called the WeWalk. The smart stick uses built-in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warn about possible dangers.

How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have invented an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D pictures. It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas, where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing the most harmful materials. The researchers (研究员) put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．Listing plans. B．Showing steps. C．Raising a question. D．Giving suggestions. 2．What can the robot do? ①take pictures ②swim underwater ③make a map ④remove rubbish ⑤discover pollution A．①②⑤ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．②③⑤ 3．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．Clean-up teams want to recycle the rubbish. B．The underwater pollution catches much attention. C．The robot discovered much different rubbish in the bay. D．People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 4．Why did the writer take glass for example in Paragraph 4? A．To show it is always possible to remove everything. B．To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C．To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D．To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．C 【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了水下机器人能探寻到在海底的垃圾，从而帮助人类改善海底的环境。 1．推理判断题。根据“How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better?”可知作者通过提出一个问题，然后引出要介绍的话题，进而展开全文。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D pictures.

It was Archimedes who solved the king’s problem of the golden crown while taking a bath. He was perhaps one of the most outstanding scientists in the world. He was a mathematician, physicist, engineer, weapon designer and inventor. He was wise in philosophy, active in mathematics and physics. He was also recognized as one of the finest engineers of his time. He was born on the island of Sicily in the city of Syracuse around the year 287 BC and died in 212 BC． Archimedes showed great love for mathematics. He made many discoveries. For example, he determined the exact value of pi. He invented and developed methods similar to calculus (微积分) and used them to find the area of a circle and an accurate estimation (估计值) of the value of pi. Today he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Archimedes used his mathematical skills and talents to create useful inventions. One of his most famous inventions is called the Archimedes’ Screw. It was a device that could lift water to higher levels. One of its first uses was to pump water out from a leaking ship. It is still used today in some places to move water from low places to high places. This invention influenced Leonardo da Vinci as he worked on developing the functioning flying machine. Can you imagine counting the sand in the universe? Archimedes once tried to calculate the number of sand grains in the universe. Obviously, it was impossible but it goes to show that he was too smart. His intellectual curiosity and achievements to mathematics, in general, would go on to encourage other mathematicians as well. Most of his achievements were by far ahead of his time. Archimedes was in deed a genius. 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．A brief introduction to Archimedes. B．Archimedes’ discoveries in maths. C．The great inventions of Archimedes. D．Archimedes’ study on the universe. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A．A leaking ship.

Radio has perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happened. Travelers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea, and even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio. Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since it was invented, TV has done a great deal in the life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised on TV. Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now on TV a family in Chicago can watch a car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening! 1．How many inventions does the writer mention in the article? A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four. 2．What does the underlined word “out-of-the-way” mean in Chinese? A．不合适的 B．偏僻的 C．尽力的 D．繁华的 3．What does the writer tell us when he introduces Marconi in the first paragraph? A．He is just an Italian inventor. B．He invented many useful tools. C．His invention has done much for the world. D．He helped people exercise a lot around the world. 4．What is “Telstar” used to do according to the passage? A．To show programs like a TV. B．To help people go to the moon. C．To give light to the earth at night. D．To help send radio or TV information to the world. 【答案】1．C 2．B 3．C 4．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了无线电广播，电视和通信卫星这三种发明。 1．细节理解题。根据“Marconi, an Italian inventor, who gave us the radio”“Television is another important invention”以及“Perhaps the most modern invention is ‘Telstar’”可知，提到了三种发明，故选C。 2．词义猜测题。根据“Travelers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea, and even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio.”可知，在偏僻地方的旅行者能通过无线电保持联系，所以划线部分表示“偏僻的”，故选B。 3．推理判断题。根据“Marconi, an Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn’t know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come.”可知，给我们发明收音机的意大利发明家马可尼可能不知道他的伟大发明会在后来的岁月里对世界产生多大的影响，作者介绍他是为了说明他的发明为这个世界做出了很多的贡献，故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“Now on TV a family in Chicago can watch a car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening!”可知，现在，芝加哥的一个家庭可以在电视上看到意大利的赛车比赛，北京的乒乓球比赛或日本的排球比赛，由此可知通信卫星是用来帮助传送广播和电视信息的，故选D。 10.（23-24九年级上·山东青岛·期末） Sleep like a Giraffe What’s your favorite sleeping position? On your back? On your side? How about standing up? Unless you happen to be a giraffe, I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now thanks to a Japanese company, it could actually be a real competitor. Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work. In an introduction to the nap (小睡) box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的). But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (头景目眩的). Also, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal (水平的), means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms. I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do. Giraffenap has been made in two different styles—a futuristic (极其新潮的) one named “Spacia”, and a wood-covered one named “Forest”. They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year, so when that time comes, I guess you’ll just have to pick your favorite design, and slot yourself in ready for a good nap. 1．Giraffenap was designed with the purpose of ________. A．taking naps when tired or sleepy B．improving work performance C．feeling refreshed in just 20 minutes D．returning to work without feeling dizzy 2．Why does the company recommend (推荐) standing up to take a nap? A．It takes up more floor space. B．It helps users fall asleep too much. C．It’s difficult for users to breathe easily. D．It can help users feel refreshed in a short time. 3．What does the company say about the napping box? A．It allows users to fall asleep easily. B．It saves floor space when not in use. C．It provides four points of support for the head. D．It will be available for sale at the end of next year. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The box’s appearance. B．The box’s materials. C．The box’s use of space D．The box’s sale date. 5．The underlined sentence “Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing?” suggests that ________. A．people would fall down if they tried to sleep standing up B．the author doubts if it is necessary to stand up to take a nap C．people may care about the safety of taking a nap standing up D．it is unnecessary to worry about falling down while standing up to sleep 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．D 4．B 5．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家日本公司发明了一种名为Giraffenap的产品，可以让人站着休息，目的是提高工作表现。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work.”可知，Giraffenap的发明是为了让使用者在感到疲倦或困倦时站着休息，以提高工作表现。故选B。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“Also, making the box vertical rather than horizontal, means that it takes up half as much floor space.”可知，把盒子做成垂直的而不是水平的，意味着它只占一半的地板空间，选项A“它占用更多的空间。”与原文不符；根据第三段“When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much.”可知，当他们醒来时，他们可以感受到午睡的影响，而不必睡得太多，选项B“它会让使用者过度入睡。”与原文不符；根据第三段“The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily.”可知，站着睡觉可以让人们达到一种呼吸轻松的睡眠状态，选项C“使用者很难轻松呼吸。”与原文不符；再根据第三段“And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy”可知，使用者可以很快恢复工作而不会感到头晕，选项D“它可以帮助用户在短时间内恢复精神。”符合原文。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段“They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year, so when that time comes, I guess you’ll just have to pick your favorite design, and slot yourself in ready for a good nap.”可知，它们计划在明年年底发布，人们到时可以选购自己最喜欢的。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Giraffenap has been made in two different styles”、“They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year,”和第三段“means that it takes up half as much floor space”可知，文章提到了外观、使用空间和销售日期，并没有提到产品是由什么材料制作的。故选B。 5．词句猜测题。根据第四段“Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms.”可知，解释了在盒子里面站着睡觉是安全的，不会摔倒的，据此可以推断第三段划线句子是作者提出了人们担心的安全问题。故选C。 11.（23-24九年级上·辽宁大连·期末） ①Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. ②Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer crowded roads and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. ③According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are hurt in accidents. Self driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. ④But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. ⑤It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．According to the passage, it is ________ to develop self-driving cars for disabled or blind people.

Okay, the camera’s rolling.” I really made my dream. I stood inside the empty school hallway and held the script On Patrol. “For this scene, ”I explained, “all I need you to do is to walk quietly. ”In front of the camera was my best friend, Gavin, wearing a blue uniform. This was certainly not a Hollywood blockbuster. I didn’t have a producer, a script director, or even something as simple as a light set up. The only tools I had was my camera and my tripod（三脚架）, but they were enough. “Okay, are you good? ”I asked. Gavin nodded his head. “Okay. Action!” I said. Since I was in kindergarten, movies have been my life. Some people may think back to their childhood as they hear the sound of table tennis or see a baseball flying into the blue sky during a backyard game. Some people may smell the salty air of the ocean during a family vacation. As for me, I hear the sound of the video recorder. The movie I watched most as a child was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. From then on, I watched as many movies as I could. When I began high school, I was wondering what I should choose as a job. After months of not having any idea of what I would become, an idea appeared: If I love movies so much, why not make it a career? I began to write my first short film, On Patrol, a ten-minute silent video about a hall monitor trying to stop someone from throwing rubbish at a school. After I finished my first script, I was very excited. Then I was thinking, "Now it is up to me to make my first movie." It was not a famous movie, but it was my stepping-stone. Now looking back at On Patrol still gives me a dream that could direct more good movies. Watching my first movie not only gives me a laugh, but also gives me the encouragement to continue running after a love I have had since I put Spider-Man into my video recorder many years ago. 1．What was the writer doing according to Paragraph 1? A．Writing a script. B．Directing a movie. C．Taking photos of his friend. D．Acting a movie with his friend. 2．What is the writer’s memory of childhood? A．The sound of table tennis.

It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads. To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient (效率高的) cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy. But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage. As we know, tech products are sometimes unreliable (不可靠的). The Internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become commoner and commoner. In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result? New technologies in 2020 will be outdated before 2025. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill? The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired. It still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it? As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas works better. 1．The underlined word “students” refers to ________. A．cities in Canada B．advanced technologies C．cities around the world D．people living in the cities 2．According to the article, what is Google going to do? A．Invent snow-melting roads. B．Make the company more efficient. C．Remake two neighborhoods in Toronto. D．Make public a plan for rebuilding Toronto. 3．According to the article, what do we need to build smart cities? A．The best of old ideas. B．Lots of new technologies. C．Asphalt and steamrollers. D．The internet and computers. 4．According to the author, smart cities will be ________. A．safe and convenient B．easier to manage C．not as efficient as imagined D．harmful to the environment 5．The example of a road that needs to be repaired is used to show ________. A．tech products break down regularly in smart cities B．it is difficult and expensive to manage a smart city C．many new technologies become outdated within five years D．smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own 【答案】1．C 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要讲述了建设智能城市，我们需要很多新技术以及智能城市的一些弊端。 1．词义猜测题。根据“Cities around the world are racing to become ‘smart’. It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students.”（世界各地的城市都在竞相变得“聪明”。就像教室里挤满了勤奋的学生。）可知这里的学生指的是前句提到的“世界各地的城市”，故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据“Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads.”可知科技公司谷歌要改造多伦多的两个社区。故选C。 3．细节理解题。根据“To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies”可知为了建设智能城市，我们需要很多新技术，故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据“These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient (效率高的) cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy.…In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result?”可知，这些科学技术将带来更安全、更高效的城市。然而，它们也会引发有关隐私的问题：智慧城市不如想象中的好管理，科技产品老化得很快，这个问题在未来几年里会越来越普遍，那么在智能城市里，如果这些科技产品发生了故障，能想象结果吗？由此可推知，智能城市并不如我们想象中得那么有效率，故选C。 5．推理判断题。根据“Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired. It still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it?”可知，一条需要修理的道路的例子是用来表明智能技术不能单独解决问题，故选D。 19.（2023·江西上饶·模拟预测） It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these. The fashion company of Alia Juma’s showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing kinds from the collection were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles are thrown into oceans every year and it would take hundreds of years to break down. We should use them to improve the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company’s designer. “Five bottles can make a shirt, 10 a dress, and 20 a short coat.” Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted(熔化) and shaped into small balls. Then the balls are melted again to form threads(线). People can then use the threads to make different kinds of clothes. According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to originate 1 ton of threads. This cuts down carbon emissions(碳排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making threads. Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, clothes made from plastics can be even better than those made from common materials. Plastic threads can also be made into different materials, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation(创新) may lead to a greener future of fashion. 1．What was Alia Juma’s newest collection made from? A．Recycled plastic. B．Recycled glasses. C．Recycled paper. D．Recycled clothes. 2．How do the companies make clothes according to Paragraph 3? ①Cut the plastic bottles into small pieces. ②Wash the plastic bottles. ③Melt the balls again to form threads. ④Melt and shape the pieces into small balls. A． ①→②→③→④ B．②→①→④→③ C．③→②→①→④ D．④→②→①→③ 3．What does the underlined word “originate” mean? A．Waste. B．Create. C．Find. D．Save. 4．What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph? A．Plastic clothes will take the place of the clothes made from other materials. B．Plastics can only be used to make clothes. C．People don’t like the clothes made from plastics. D．The future of making plastic clothes is bright. 5．What’s the main idea of this passage? A．Making clothes made from plastics is more environmental. B．Wearing a new material can be more beautiful. C．Collecting plastics is everyone’s duty. D．Choosing different kinds of clothes is helpful to make the world wonderful. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．B 4．D 5．A 【导语】本文主要讲的是将废弃的塑料瓶重复利用，用来制作衣服，创建环保社会的事。 1．细节理解题。根据第二段“The fashion company of Alia Juma’s showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing kinds from the collection were made from recycled plastic bottles.”可知，她最新系列的服装是由回收的塑料瓶制成的。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段“First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted(熔化) and shaped into small balls. Then the balls are melted again to form threads(线). People can then use the threads to make different kinds of clothes.”可知，这个公司制作服装的过程是：先清洗塑料瓶并切成小块，然后熔化为小球状，然后再次把球熔化形成线。顺序为②→①→④→③。故选B。 3．词句猜测题。根据第四段“According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to originate 1 ton of threads.”可知，此处表示67000个瓶子可以产1吨丝线。create表示“产生；创造”，符合题意。故选B。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段“It seems that this innovation(创新) may lead to a greener future of fashion.”可知，制造塑料衣服的前景是光明的。故选D。 5．主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲用废弃的塑料瓶制作衣服，保护环境。故选A。 20.（2023·河南安阳·二模） The company OpenAI introduced ChatGPT to the world. It is the latest type of AI chatboxes. A chatbox is a computer program just like human conversation. Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve it. People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles with rightful opinions for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers, people who write computer code, tried out ChatGPT. It is able to solve difficult coding challenges and answer very quickly. It even wrote short poems to explain how the coding worked. In our daily life, it helped a father brainstorm ideas of a birthday party for his son that combines the kid’s two favorites, rabbits and basketball. Moreover, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. ChatGPT can recognize that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. For example, ask it for advice on stealing a car. It will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”. ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but the AI is trained using texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use the ChatGPT to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. In 2015, Elon Musk set up OpenAI, but left it in 2017. In 2022, he bought Twitter and then he pointed out that OpenAI could use the Twitter database for training in the past, but not for now. Some think this AI technology is bad for the earth, too. Training ChatGPT might make more than 284 tons of CO2 and lead to climate change that will heat up the earth. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．We can use ChatGPT for free now, because it ________. A．is able to teach machines B．needs to improve itself C．helps students with exams D．writes poems about coding. 2．What does the underlined word “brainstorm” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A．大脑活动 B．神志不清 C．脑猝足病 D．集思广益 3．Which of the following is most probably a conversation with ChatGPT? A．Q: What happened after paper was invented in America? AI: Paper started to change how knowledge was spread. B．Q: Is Li Bai, a poet in modern China, famous all over the world? AI: Yes, because his poems are fantastic. C．Q: Show me how to use other people’s bank card without being noticed. AI: For your information, that is against the law. D．Q: Find something for my mum as a Mother’s Day gift. She likes classic music and cooking. AI: Among all the gifts listed online, there’s no such gift. 4．What can we know from Paragraph 4? A．Musk bought the Twitter database for OpenAI to use. B．Training ChatGPT is good for the climate on the earth. C．ChatGPT used texts after being allowed by the writers. D．Musk stopped OpenAI from using the Twitter database. 5．What’s the structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1,②=Paragraph 2...) A．B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．C 4．D 5．C 【导语】本文主要介绍了OpenAI公司推出的ChatGPT，具体包括它能做什么以及存在的一些问题。 1．细节理解题。根据“Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve it.”可知，现在我们可以免费使用ChatGPT，这样公司可以收集人们的想法，帮助它进行改进。故选B。 2．词句猜测题。根据“In our daily life, it helped a father brainstorm ideas of a birthday party for his son that combines the kid’s two favorites, rabbits and basketball.”可知，ChatGPT结合了孩子最喜欢的两种东西，兔子和篮球，帮助一位父亲为他儿子的生日聚会集思广益；因此“brainstorm”的含义为“集思广益”。故选D。 3．推理判断题。根据“It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. For example, ask it for advice on stealing a car. It will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results.”可知，ChatGPT会拒绝回答不恰当的问题；由此推知如果你向ChatGPT询问如何使用其他人的银行卡，它会告诉你这与法律相悖。故选C。 4．推理判断题。根据“In 2022, he bought Twitter and then he pointed out that OpenAI could use the Twitter database for training in the past, but not for now.”可知，马斯克指出OpenAI过去可以使用Twitter数据库进行训练，但现在不行；由此推知马斯克阻止OpenAI使用Twitter数据库。故选D。 5．篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段是引出本文的话题ChatGPT；第二、三段介绍了ChatGPT能做什么；第四段是介绍它可能存在的一些问题。结合选项，C选项符合文章结构。故选C。 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！10 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 专题05 阅读理解CD篇解题要点及专项训练 一．解题思路 （一）先读问题，弄清考查要点，以便能带着问题看文章，这样会心中有数，有的放矢。 （二）快速浏览全文，掌握全貌，注意发现与问题有关的信息，如果时间紧，至少要扫视一下起首段和尾段。再把标题和文章内容结合起来想一想，这样全文大意便清楚了。此时，不要忙于答题。 （三）细读原文，捕捉相关信息词，掌握短文细节内容。这是解题的关键，应特别注意以下几点： 1. 抓住四个"W"和一个"H"，就是边读边用铅笔做些标记，把What (事件)，When（时间），Where（地点），Why（原因），How（经过）划出来。抓住了四个“W”和一个“H”，就抓住了文章的全貌，一些直接性的问题便可解决。 2.抓住连接词及起关键作用的副词、代词、介词、插入语等。因为这些词具有因果，让步，递进，转折，指代，列举及承上启下等各种连接上下文的特殊功能。这对考生分清文章层次，辨明各种关系，了解人物心理，推断作者意图，进行逻辑推理等手段来分析难点，都具有举足轻重的作用。 3.注意领会文章的寓意。 4.根据题意，初选答案。这一步须仔细审题，领会测试要求，确定解题方法。对那些明显的，有把握的题可以断然确定，不必把其余三个答案再作推敲而浪费时间：有些略难的题，应再查阅短文（不是重读一遍），迅速找出依据，予以排除。 二．常用的解题方法有如下几种： ① 直接解题法。即从原文中直接找出答案。 ② 归纳解题法。对于不能从原文中直接找出答案的可在把握全文中心和线索的前题下进行概括、归纳得出正确答案。 ③ 综合推理法。读者需统观全文，认真分析，综合推理及至计算，最后归纳出正确答案。 题干中有"suggest, conclude, conclusion, probably, reason, because, according to“等字眼时，属于推断概括型，考查内容着眼于全篇，考生应具备一定的分析归纳，推理等逻辑思维能力。 ④ 捕捉关键词。在阅读时应该注意与问题相关的同义词，近义词，反义词或同位词等信息词来得出正确答案。 ⑤ 转换解题法。即原文这么说，而在问题和所给选项中则用另外的词去转换一种说法，但仍表示同一含义。 ⑥ 排除法。根据语言，句法结构，信息词和常识，在没有把握的选项中用排除法得出正确答案。 三．重读原文，仔细斟酌核对答案。 在解完最后一道题后，如果时间允许，再将原文读一遍；用全文的主题思想统率各思考题，研究其内在联系和逻辑关系，目的在于对所做答案进一步审查，推出未解答的题，以便减少失误。 1.（23-24九年级上·浙江台州·期末） Do you ever find yourself sleeping during your daily work? It’s so common to feel sleepy and tired during the day these days because you have to work non-stop and have no time to have a good nap (小睡). Some people might think you are lazy if you take a nap during the work. But a lot of studies have shown that taking a nap can have a good influence on productivity and creativity. In order to make it easier for people to get good naps anywhere, a company from Japan has made a new kind of sleeping box—Giraffenap. Just as the name suggests, it means in the sleeping box, you will have a nap while standing, just like the posture of the giraffe. The designer says napping while standing or lying down are both effective. But if you lie down, you may fall deeply asleep and have difficulty waking up. Your brain will feel foggy and you’ll be too sleepy to focus on your work. But napping while standing can relax both mind and body in a short time. What’s more, in the sleeping box, you can shut out light and nap in a dark and quiet place which provides a good sleeping environment. Last but not least, the boxes save space. They are about the size of a public phone booth, so there’s no need for a special sleeping room with beds. Now the Giraffenap boxes are put in coffee shops and restaurants all over the country. As long as you pay about 41 yuan, you can take a short nap for half an hour in the box and get a cup of coffee for free. And if it is accepted well, we might see them in other places as well. Do you want to have a try? 1．What do we know from the first paragraph? A．You can lie down in the Giraffenap. B．Napping while lying down is not good. C．You can be more creative after taking a nap. D．If you feel sleepy during the work, it means you are lazy. 2．What does the underlined word “effective” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Active. B．Useful. C．Real. D．Wise. 3．What are the advantages of the sleeping box? ① It’s cheap. ② It takes little space. ③ It can make you sleep well soon. ④ It can improve your sleeping environment. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 4．Why does the writer write this passage? A．To compare two kinds of napping. B．To introduce a new kind of sleeping box. C．To advise customers to try the new product. D．To show the advantages of the Giraffenap box. 2.（23-24九年级上·浙江绍兴·期末） New Glasses Can Transcribe (转录) Speech in Real Time When Paul Shuttleworth bought himself a very expensive pair of eyeglasses for Christmas last year, it was a strange gift. The glasses didn’t improve his eyesight, weren’t particularly stylish and uncomfortably pressed down on his nose. But the glasses are an important tool for him which have helped him talk and join in conversations in ways that he had never been able to before. These fantastic glasses automatically (自动地) transcribe the words someone is saying and show the text on his glasses. Real-time captioning (为……配字幕) is not a totally new technology. People who are deaf or hard of hearing usually use apps such as Otter to transcribe a conversation as they’re having it. But having to ping-pong between the person they’re talking with and their phone can be uncomfortable and tiring. However, having captions in front of your eyes can change the situation. Improvements in speech recognition software (语音识别软件) have really enabled these technological developments, says Dan Scarfe, CEO of XRAI Glass, a company that makes a speech-processing app that can be used with live-captioning glasses. “I believe in about six months we’ll have a new killer piece of hardware that you can surely use for this. Then it’s just a question of finding people who want to use it,” Dan says. While live-captioning glasses could be an unbelievably powerful tool for millions of people, they are not a complete solution. For many people with hearing loss, understanding a friend in a crowded restaurant is a bad dream. Similarly, live-captioning software struggles to transcribe correct conversation in these spaces. Background noise remains a big problem that these glasses do not yet fully solve. Many people who are deaf or hard of hearing are excited by this technology, but some see it as a danger to requests for sign language interpreters (手语翻译). Captions do not show a speaker’s identity, feelings or voice changes; interpreters can give all background information. 1．Paul Shuttleworth bought a pair of expensive glasses to ______. A．prove he was very rich B．make himself look handsome C．improve his eyesight D．help himself in communication 2．According to the passage, Dan Scarfe ______. A．takes pride in their company’s new product B．has got well trained in making speech recognition apps C．thinks it possible for everyone to afford their products D．knows well how to help those with hearing problems 3．The 5th paragraph mainly tells us about ______. A．where living-captioning glasses can be used B．who would love to buy living-captioning glasses C．what challenge living-captioning glasses face D．how living-captioning glasses can work better 4．We can infer from the passage that ______. A．live-captioning glasses are important tools for everyone B．technologies cannot completely take the place of humans C．interpreters can change the speaker’s feelings D．the new glasses may be dangerous to users 3.（23-24九年级上·河北廊坊·期末） In the past ten years, great progress has been made in technology. It seems like everything has been greatly improved. But there is one thing unlike them. It was invented over 100 years ago but remained unchanged until now. I’m talking about a blind walking stick. The white stick has been used by many blind people for a long time. However, it hasn’t really been improved, until a blind engineer named Kursat decided to do something to change that. He hoped his invention would help the blind. He invented a smart stick called the WeWalk. The smart stick uses built-in speakers and different sensors (传感器) to warn about possible dangers. It helps blind people in navigating (导航) around their environment. It makes their travel much easier. The stick is priced at around $500. It is less than half the price of most smart phones. Most people can afford it. This invention is going to change life a lot for the blind. Kursat well understands the difficulties that the blind face. That’s because he is blind himself. He decided to put his knowledge of technology into inventing something. It would not only change his life, but also the life of many others. “In these days, we are talking about flying cars. But the blind have been using just a simple stick. As a blind person, when I am at the bus stop, I don’t know which bus is coming or which stores are around me. Now that kind of information can be provided by the WeWalk,” he said, “I believe life of the blind will be much easier and safer.” 1．The WeWalk was invented to ________. A．help Kursat make money B．help the blind C．change the environment D．improve everything 2．Why can Kursat understand the blind’s difficulties? A．Because he has knowledge. B．Because he invents WeWalk. C．Because he is blind, too. D．Because he faces the blind. 3．Which of the following is Kursat’s idea? A．The WeWalk can solve all the problems for the blind. B．With the WeWalk, the blind can find their way more easily. C．The blind shouldn’t take the bus. D．Flying cars are more important than the WeWalk. 4．We can know from the passage that Kursat is ________. A．rich and outgoing B．creative and caring C．smart and thankful D．healthy and lucky 5．Where may this text be taken from? A．A report about health. B．A story about cars. C．A book about teaching. D．A magazine about science. 4.（23-24九年级上·江西九江·期末） The paper we know today did not appear until two thousand years ago. It was created in China. No one knows who first invented it. But history does tell us about one man who improved the process and this man was Cai Lun (62-121), who was born during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220).    Cai Lun often paid visits to the countryside workshops when he took office as Shang-fang Ling an officer in control of making instruments and weapons. Inspired by women who raised silkworms (蚕), he used many materials to make paper, such as bark (树皮), pieces of net normally used to catch fish, and pieces of used cloth. He broke these materials down into very small pieces and finally produced a kind of paper. In 105, Cai Lun showed his paper-making process and pieces of paper to Emperor He of Han (汉和帝). His way to make paper was strongly praised by the Emperor and it soon got popular. The paper made in this way, known as Cai Hou Paper, was used across the country. Today, Cai Lun is still remembered as the inventor of the paper-making process, one of the Four Great Inventions of China. He is regarded as the father of the modern paper industry. In 2007, Cai Lun was listed as one of the “Best Inventors in Recorded History” by the American Time. His paper-making process was specially shown in the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. 1．When was the paper we know today invented according to the passage? A．About 4, 000 years ago.

You don’t want to sit alone. But you are not sure who would be friendly and let you sit with them. To solve the problem, Natalic Hampton, made an app called Sit With Us. It makes finding friends in the school canteen (食堂) very easy. Natalie is from Sherman Oaks, California, US. Students can sign up as “ambassadors (大使)” for a club. Then they can post “open lunch” events to invite others to join in. Natalie got the idea to create the app after she ate alone her whole seventh grade year. The experience made her feel sad and she was even bullied (欺负). She changed schools because of that. People may want to know why you don’t just ask to sit down. Natalie said the app stops kids from being rejected in front of others. “This way is very private. It’s through the phone. No one else has to know. And you know that you’re not going to be rejected once you get to the table,” she told NPR. So far, the app works well. “I had my first club meeting, and everyone was very excited. People are already posting open lunches at my schools. So I’m very excited,” Natalie told NPR. 1．What problem did Natalie Hampton make an app to solve? A．The problem of having no idea when to have lunch. B．The problem of having no friends to go out with. C．The problem of feeling lonely without friends at school. D．The problem of having no friends to have lunch with. 2．Why did Natalie Hampton once change her school? A．Because she ate her lunch alone for a year and was bullied. B．Because she didn’t like the food in the school canteen. C．Because she was not welcomed in her school. D．Because she has more friends in the new school. 3．What does the underlined word “rejected” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A．Laughed. B．Punished. C．Refused. D．Provided. 4．Which word can be used to describe Natalic Hampton most? A．Brave. B．Creative. C．Kind. D．Polite. 6.（23-24九年级上·山东泰安·期末） Nowadays the pollution of the sea is becoming an increasingly serious problem. How can we reduce the pollution in the sea and make the underwater environment better? Scientists in Norway have invented an underwater robot, which can help a lot. The robot is 45 kg in weight and uses special cameras to get 3D pictures. It can discover different kinds of pollution at the bottom of the sea. It will help clean-up teams find the areas, where there is rubbish and then they can spend most of their time and money removing the most harmful materials. The researchers (研究员) put their work to the test in a bay (海湾) in the city of Bergen. First, the robot swam up and down two meters above the seabed, collecting information. Then a computer turned the information into a map, which showed different rubbish materials in different colors. Thousands of objects were discovered in the bay, including bottles, metals, plastics, etc. “Bergen is a place where different industries come together, and the city is quite old, so there’s a huge amount of rubbish,” said Trygve Olav Fossum, one of the researchers. “We think the rubbish in the bay weighs 150 tons to 300 tons.” It is not always possible to remove everything. Some things are more harmful so it’s more important to clear them from the sea. “Glass isn’t really polluting the sea,” said Fossum. “So if you know there’s an area with a lot of glass, you don’t need to worry much about that and you can pay more attention to the things that are putting heavy metals into the environment.” The maps will be used to help the clean-up teams locate (定位) the most harmful materials so that they can remove them first. Thanks to the development of the science and technology, the underwater environment can be improved a lot. As well as helping to deal with pollution, the robot can also show where creatures like starfish are on the seabed. 1．How does the writer start the passage? A．Listing plans. B．Showing steps. C．Raising a question. D．Giving suggestions. 2．What can the robot do? ①take pictures ②swim underwater ③make a map ④remove rubbish ⑤discover pollution A．①②⑤ B．①②③ C．②③④ D．②③⑤ 3．What can we learn from paragraph 3? A．Clean-up teams want to recycle the rubbish. B．The underwater pollution catches much attention. C．The robot discovered much different rubbish in the bay. D．People shouldn’t throw harmful materials into the sea. 4．Why did the writer take glass for example in Paragraph 4? A．To show it is always possible to remove everything. B．To explain how serious the water pollution is in the bay. C．To tell us the most harmful things should be removed first. D．To call on clean-up teams to pay more attention to removing glass. 7.（23-24九年级上·辽宁阜新·期末） ①A new form of transport will be with us in the next few years—flying taxis. Many of us grew up watching sci-fi (科幻) movies with flying taxis. They are now becoming science fact. ②The Japanese airline ANA teamed up with a US tech start-up called Joby Aviation. The two companies want to start producing flying taxis at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka. They are now working together on building the flying taxi. They also need to work out what traffic rules the taxis will need to follow, and what kind of training flying taxi pilots will need. The five-seat, all-electric taxi will be able to take off and land freely. It will fly about 300 kilometers an hour. ③Joby’s CEO said the taxis would be good for the environment. He told reporters, “Joby helps people save time while cutting down their carbon footprint (碳排放量). Japan offers us a good chance to do that with 92% of the population living in cities, and Tokyo being one of the top 20 busiest cities in the world.” The president of ANA, Koji Shibata, was also excited about the project. He said, “ANA has 70 years of experience. It can offer safe flights (飞行) to customers across the world. Also, it is able to offer them the chance to travel fast. From an international airport to the center of a city is very popular.” The two companies successfully tested a flying taxi for the first time in 2020. They plan to start the world’s first flying taxi service at the 2024 Paris Olympics. ④So, the flying taxi is closer to our life.

It was Archimedes who solved the king’s problem of the golden crown while taking a bath. He was perhaps one of the most outstanding scientists in the world. He was a mathematician, physicist, engineer, weapon designer and inventor. He was wise in philosophy, active in mathematics and physics. He was also recognized as one of the finest engineers of his time. He was born on the island of Sicily in the city of Syracuse around the year 287 BC and died in 212 BC． Archimedes showed great love for mathematics. He made many discoveries. For example, he determined the exact value of pi. He invented and developed methods similar to calculus (微积分) and used them to find the area of a circle and an accurate estimation (估计值) of the value of pi. Today he is regarded as one of the greatest mathematicians in history. Archimedes used his mathematical skills and talents to create useful inventions. One of his most famous inventions is called the Archimedes’ Screw. It was a device that could lift water to higher levels. One of its first uses was to pump water out from a leaking ship. It is still used today in some places to move water from low places to high places. This invention influenced Leonardo da Vinci as he worked on developing the functioning flying machine. Can you imagine counting the sand in the universe? Archimedes once tried to calculate the number of sand grains in the universe. Obviously, it was impossible but it goes to show that he was too smart. His intellectual curiosity and achievements to mathematics, in general, would go on to encourage other mathematicians as well. Most of his achievements were by far ahead of his time. Archimedes was in deed a genius. 1．What’s the main idea of paragraph 2? A．A brief introduction to Archimedes. B．Archimedes’ discoveries in maths. C．The great inventions of Archimedes. D．Archimedes’ study on the universe. 2．What does the underlined word “it” refer to in paragraph 3? A．A leaking ship.

Radio has perhaps done as much as any other communication tool. Things of the world can be reported to people everywhere a few seconds after they happened. Travelers in out-of-the-way places, ships at sea, and even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio. Television is another important invention. It lets us see as well as hear the actor. Since it was invented, TV has done a great deal in the life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised on TV. Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving round the earth. It makes it possible for the people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now on TV a family in Chicago can watch a car race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening! 1．How many inventions does the writer mention in the article?

Unless you happen to be a giraffe, I’d never have thought anyone would choose the last one. But now thanks to a Japanese company, it could actually be a real competitor. Giraffenap is invented to allow the user to take a rest while standing when he/she feels tired or sleepy with the purpose of improving performance at work. In an introduction to the nap (小睡) box, the company says that it will allow the user to be refreshed (恢复精神的). But why does it have to be standing? The company explains that studies have shown that sleeping while standing allows people to reach a sleep state in which they breathe easily. When they wake up, they can feel the influence of a nap without having to sleep too much. And they can quickly return to work without feeling dizzy (头景目眩的). Also, making the box vertical (垂直的) rather than horizontal (水平的), means that it takes up half as much floor space. Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing? Of course not. Inside the box are four points to support the body—head, buttocks (臀), legs and feet. That means he can rest his arms. I hope you’ll try sleeping standing up—just like giraffes do. Giraffenap has been made in two different styles—a futuristic (极其新潮的) one named “Spacia”, and a wood-covered one named “Forest”. They’re scheduled to be released towards the end of next year, so when that time comes, I guess you’ll just have to pick your favorite design, and slot yourself in ready for a good nap. 1．Giraffenap was designed with the purpose of ________. A．taking naps when tired or sleepy B．improving work performance C．feeling refreshed in just 20 minutes D．returning to work without feeling dizzy 2．Why does the company recommend (推荐) standing up to take a nap? A．It takes up more floor space. B．It helps users fall asleep too much. C．It’s difficult for users to breathe easily. D．It can help users feel refreshed in a short time. 3．What does the company say about the napping box? A．It allows users to fall asleep easily. B．It saves floor space when not in use. C．It provides four points of support for the head. D．It will be available for sale at the end of next year. 4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A．The box’s appearance. B．The box’s materials. C．The box’s use of space D．The box’s sale date. 5．The underlined sentence “Now, I know what you’re thinking—wouldn’t a person just fall down if he tried to sleep while standing?” suggests that ________. A．people would fall down if they tried to sleep standing up B．the author doubts if it is necessary to stand up to take a nap C．people may care about the safety of taking a nap standing up D．it is unnecessary to worry about falling down while standing up to sleep 11.（23-24九年级上·辽宁大连·期末） ①Could you imagine being in a car driven by a computer, not a human? Recently, China has made a big step toward self-driving technology. Since August, driverless taxis can run on roads in Wuhan, Chongqing and Shenzhen. ②Why do we develop self-driving cars? Self-driving cars have many advantages. They use computers to sense the things around them and make better use of space. This means fewer crowded roads and better parking of cars. For disabled or blind people, self-driving cars can also help them get around more easily. ③According to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, each year, more than 1.35 million people are killed on roads around the world. Many more are hurt in accidents. Self driving cars could reduce road accidents by 90 percent and save governments a lot of money. The main cause of car accidents is human error (错误). By using computers, self-driving cars don’t make poor decisions or lose attention like humans do. ④But self-driving cars aren’t perfect. If something unexpected on the road happens, self-driving cars can’t react as fast as a human driver can. Also, during weather events like heavy snow, self-driving cars wouldn’t see the lines on the road easily. It might lead to an accident. The car’s computer system would be broken by someone, causing it to crash or change its direction. ⑤It’s clear that there is a lot of work to do to make self-driving cars a common sight on our roads. And China is taking the lead in making this happen. 1．According to the passage, it is ________ to develop self-driving cars for disabled or blind people. A．difficult B．creative C．helpful D．unnecessary 2．What does the underlined part in the third paragraph mean? A．Self-driving cars would cause 90 percent road accidents of all. B．Self-driving cars would cause 10 road accidents among 100 ones. C．90 percent of self-driving cars would cause road accidents. D．Self-driving cars could reduce the number of road accidents from 100 to 10. 3．The purpose of the passage is to tell us ________. A．how self-driving cars work B．why self-driving cars were invented C．what we should do to use self-driving cars safely D．that self-driving cars bring both convenience and problems 4．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 12.（22-23九年级上·重庆江北·期末） We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared to other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers. Scientists from Stanford University, US, scanned (扫描) children’s brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize (认出) their mothers’ voices at once. Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mothers’ voices, many parts of the brain, including those that are responsible for reward (奖赏) and emotion (情感), start to work as well. ____▲___ It starts even before we’re born. When children are still in the womb (子宫) or have just been born, they hear their mothers talking. This makes babies feel comfortable and teaches them language and social skills, even though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it. Some sounds are necessary for our life or please us. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most human voices are not recognized in this way, since we hear them so often. But mothers’ voices are different. They bring us a lot of comfort. 1．According to the passage, children will feel _______ when they hear their mothers’ voices.

These shared bikes all use Beidou-based positioning chips. The chips have high qualities. They can deal with information accurately and quickly. They provide a better user experience and easier management for the local companies. Now, several new models of shared electric bikes with Beidou-based chips have also started to be produced and put into market. Besides positioning and navigation, the chips will help users and bike companies record user speed and battery condition of an electric bike. The possible crimes during the bike using will also be recorded. In fact, years ago, shared bike companies began to use positioning chips which worked well with both GPS and Beidou services. After the Beidou system became completely in use in the summer of 2020, shared bike companies started to install Beidou-based chips on more bikes in more areas. The latest chips which are popular with bike companies are smaller and have more advantages over the old types. Since 2000, a total of 59 Beidou satellites have been sent into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province. After the final satellite was sent in 2020, the system was completed and started providing global services. Beidou Satellite System is designed and developed by China. China has built the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) into a top-class system with cutting-edge technologies, pioneering design and powerful functions, according to a white paper published on Friday by the State Council Information Office. It is one of four global navigation networks, along with the United States’ GPS, Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. According to a research in 2022, by the end of 2021 the total value connected with satellite navigation and positioning services in China was 469 billion yuan, a 16.3 percent increase year on year.

Type in (输入) “A cat wants to go to space” and ask the robot to write a bedtime story. Just one second later, you’ll get a story of a cat called Max, who was on his way past many difficulties to sing among the stars. This robot writer is real. It’s called ChatGPT. US company Open AI developed it to make up human-like texts. It can translate languages, talk with people and write songs, poems and even jokes. It’s one of the most powerful AIs of its kind, with the complete writing skills of a real person! People around the world have tried ChatGPT and posted their results on social media. Some used it to write history articles, some asked it to take notes or give advice on how to communicate with people at a party, reported Thne Atlantic. The power of ChatGPT lies in its speed and understanding of complicated (复杂的) matters. We may spend hours researching, understanding and writing an article on a certain topic. But ChatGPT can produce a well-written one in seconds. Another good thing about it is that if you ask dark, harmful questions, such as how to make weapons (武器), it will not give you an answer. ChatGPT appears at a time when AI is becoming better at doing creative tasks. The materials they create are difficult to distinguish (区分) from those made by humans.

Okay, the camera’s rolling.” I really made my dream. I stood inside the empty school hallway and held the script On Patrol. “For this scene, ”I explained, “all I need you to do is to walk quietly. ”In front of the camera was my best friend, Gavin, wearing a blue uniform. This was certainly not a Hollywood blockbuster. I didn’t have a producer, a script director, or even something as simple as a light set up. The only tools I had was my camera and my tripod（三脚架）, but they were enough. “Okay, are you good? ”I asked. Gavin nodded his head. “Okay. Action!” I said. Since I was in kindergarten, movies have been my life. Some people may think back to their childhood as they hear the sound of table tennis or see a baseball flying into the blue sky during a backyard game. Some people may smell the salty air of the ocean during a family vacation. As for me, I hear the sound of the video recorder. The movie I watched most as a child was Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man. From then on, I watched as many movies as I could. When I began high school, I was wondering what I should choose as a job. After months of not having any idea of what I would become, an idea appeared: If I love movies so much, why not make it a career? I began to write my first short film, On Patrol, a ten-minute silent video about a hall monitor trying to stop someone from throwing rubbish at a school. After I finished my first script, I was very excited. Then I was thinking, "Now it is up to me to make my first movie." It was not a famous movie, but it was my stepping-stone. Now looking back at On Patrol still gives me a dream that could direct more good movies. Watching my first movie not only gives me a laugh, but also gives me the encouragement to continue running after a love I have had since I put Spider-Man into my video recorder many years ago. 1．What was the writer doing according to Paragraph 1?

The remains(遗骸) of 88 Chinese soldiers who died in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea(抗美援朝战争) were returned to China from South Korea on Sept 16, Xinhua reported. Safeguarded by two J-20 fighters, a Y-20 military transport aircraft carrying the remains landed at the Taoxian international airport in Shenyang, Liaoning. This is the first time that J-20, the country’s most powerful fighter aircraft, has performed this kind of mission. It shows the highest respect for heroes returning to the homeland, noted China Daily. The remains were then transported from the airport to Shenyang Volunteer Martyrs Cemetery (志愿军烈士陵园). A burial ceremony (仪式) took place there on Sept 17. “I don’t know their names, but I know they are heroes and we should remember them forever,” said Chen Meixu, a student from Shenyang at the ceremony. Pei Jinjia, minister of the Veterans’ Affairs said the heroes’ mission had been finished. They should rest in peace in their homeland instead of in a foreign country. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea started in October 1950. Under the command (指挥) of Peng Dehuai, 2.9 million soldiers of the Chinese People’s Volunteers fought in the war, and around 200,000 died in the war. South Korea began to find the remains of fallen soldiers in 2000. This has marked the ninth continuous year of the handover between the two nations.

It’s just like a classroom full of hard-working students. Take Toronto, Canada, for example. Tech company Google has made public a 1,500-page plan. It is going to remake two neighborhoods with things like snow-melting roads. To build smart cities, we need lots of new technologies, such as robots and artificial intelligence (AI). These technologies will lead to safer and more efficient (效率高的) cities. However, they will also raise questions about privacy. But there is a more serious problem: Smart cities will be difficult to manage. As we know, tech products are sometimes unreliable (不可靠的). The Internet and our computers break down regularly. Tech products also age quickly. Only a few years into their lives, problems may become commoner and commoner. In smart cities, many basic systems and services, such as water services, are based on such tech products. What if they break down regularly? Can you imagine the result? New technologies in 2020 will be outdated before 2025. If we use smart technologies widely in cities, we will need to be prepared to replace them every few years. But who would want to pay this bill? The most important problem is whether having a smart city will make us better at solving urban problems. Smart technologies can’t solve problems on their own. Suppose AI programs discover a road that needs to be repaired. It still requires people to show up with asphalt (沥青) and a steamroller (蒸汽压路机), doesn’t it? As an engineer, I think smart technologies should have a place in cities. However, that place is not everywhere. For many of our urban problems, we don’t really need the latest technologies. The best of the old ideas works better. 1．The underlined word “students” refers to ________.

But in fact, some clothing companies are already making clothes like these. The fashion company of Alia Juma’s showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai. Eighteen clothing kinds from the collection were made from recycled plastic bottles. “We realized that billions of water bottles are thrown into oceans every year and it would take hundreds of years to break down. We should use them to improve the environment,” said Alia Juma, the company’s designer. “Five bottles can make a shirt, 10 a dress, and 20 a short coat.” Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days. The process is rather simple. First, the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces. Then they are melted(熔化) and shaped into small balls. Then the balls are melted again to form threads(线). People can then use the threads to make different kinds of clothes. According to Juma, it takes 67, 000 bottles to originate 1 ton of threads. This cuts down carbon emissions(碳排放) by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making threads. Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles. But in fact, clothes made from plastics can be even better than those made from common materials. Plastic threads can also be made into different materials, such as cotton, silk, or even wool. It seems that this innovation(创新) may lead to a greener future of fashion. 1．What was Alia Juma’s newest collection made from? A．Recycled plastic. B．Recycled glasses. C．Recycled paper.

It is the latest type of AI chatboxes. A chatbox is a computer program just like human conversation. Anyone can use ChatGPT for free now so that the company can collect people’s ideas on how to improve it. People have tested how ChatGPT works. Reporters found out that it was able to write articles with rightful opinions for newspapers. Teachers asked it to write answers to exam questions. ChatGPT could almost get full marks. Even programmers, people who write computer code, tried out ChatGPT. It is able to solve difficult coding challenges and answer very quickly. It even wrote short poems to explain how the coding worked. In our daily life, it helped a father brainstorm ideas of a birthday party for his son that combines the kid’s two favorites, rabbits and basketball. Moreover, when people ask ChatGPT questions, it can find mistakes. If it is asked what happened when Columbus arrived in America in 2023, older AIs might give a story. ChatGPT can recognize that Columbus reached America in the 1400s. It can also refuse to answer questions that are not proper. For example, ask it for advice on stealing a car. It will say that stealing a car is a serious crime and can have bad results. Instead, it gives advice such as “taking the bus”. ChatGPT might help people solve problems, but the AI is trained using texts from the Internet. Often, the texts are used without being allowed by the writers of those texts. Some argue that technology doesn’t respect people’s work. Some argue that people will use the ChatGPT to copy others’ work and sell it as their own. In 2015, Elon Musk set up OpenAI, but left it in 2017. In 2022, he bought Twitter and then he pointed out that OpenAI could use the Twitter database for training in the past, but not for now. Some think this AI technology is bad for the earth, too. Training ChatGPT might make more than 284 tons of CO2 and lead to climate change that will heat up the earth. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 1．We can use ChatGPT for free now, because it ________.
