强化练(七)　主旨大意题(2)(分值：30分) A (2024·湖南衡阳二模)With artificial intelligence(AI) and robotic technology improving at impressive rates，there are some who worry that there's a risk of artistic and creative folks being replaced.A new study by the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology，however，is showing exactly why that can't and shouldn't happen.It all started when the South Korean company posed this question：Can robots replace conductors? Over a year ago，work to develop automaton(机器人) began.At first，it was designed like a machine，and didn't live up to expectations.Then the company sought ways to improve it.In the end，it was given two arms with joints to copy wrists and elbows，allowing it to move a stick similarly to how a human conductor would move.It was named the EverR 6 robot，and stands at 1.8 meters.It was finally time to figure out how it could follow through on its musical role. “We got involved in this project to see how far robots can go in more creative fields like the arts，and what the challenges are，” said Dong­wook Lee，a senior researcher at the Korean Institute of Industrial Technology. In order to pull this off，Dong­wook Lee cooperated with the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra.The 12­minute piece they planned to perform，“Feel” by Il­hoon Son，was created specifically for this event.It was created with the strengths of both EverR 6 and the human conductor，Soo­yeol Choi，in mind. To pull off this impressive performance，the robot was preprogrammed to conduct through 30 cycles of beat patterns.Meanwhile，it was up to the human conductor to lead the orchestra in creating an improvisational(即兴的) score，adding depth to the otherwise planned piece. Together，they pulled off a masterful performance that the audience seemed more than happy to have had the opportunity to witness firsthand! With the concert having gone so well，this is only the start of EverR 6.Still，no matter the improvements they're able to make to this Android robot，the human conductor isn't concerned about being replaced. “Let's leave the accuracy to the robots，” Soo­yeol Choi said.“But the musical and artistic aspects to a human conductor.” 1．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The function of the EverR 6 robot. B．The development of the EverR 6 robot. C．The EverR 6 robot's role as a conductor. D．The difficulty in designing the EverR 6 robot. 2．What can be learned about “Feel”？ A．It is a piece familiar to the audience. B.It is a piece showing the human­robot cooperation. C．It is the only piece that EverR 6 will perform. D．It is a piece requiring great ability to conduct. 3．What role did Soo­yeol Choi play in the performance? A．He corrected the robot's mistakes. B．He programmed the EverR 6 robot. C.He led the improvisational section of the performance. D.He was the main conductor of the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. 4．What is Soo­yeol Choi's attitude towards EverR 6? A．Unclear. B．Uncaring. C．Supportive. D．Doubtful.

Jiang decided to help those who can't see.Blind people had a hard time navigating(导航) objects that are medium to far range.So Jiang wanted to design something to give them a heads­up on obstacles(障碍) that may be incoming. Jiang's inspiration came from the powers of the hearing system.“I learned in school that bats and whales are able to use echolocation(回声定位) to help them navigate and just use their sense of hearing and I also saw on the Internet some very skilled blind people that use echolocation to help them walk，” said Jiang. Jiang started with a virtual reality setting and then made it a reality.His creation uses a depth camera that can detect how close objects are，thus giving enough time to dodge the obstacles.When a blind is walking with the device，the sensor of the depth camera gathers the information regarding the obstacles' position and distance.Then the AI system in it will turn the distance data into musical sound guidance.This could significantly increase the walking speed of a blind person as well as decrease the number of obstacles they hit. Some other similar programs were alright at finding objects that were in close range，but Jiang still wanted the blind to experience the world even fuller so they were able to see stuff that was much further away than their circle of reach. In October，the top ten finalists competed in person in Minneapolis for the title of “America's Top Young Scientist” and a $25，000 prize. 5．What can we learn about Jiang from the first two paragraphs? A．He was the champion of the 2023 3M event. B.He invented technology to remove road obstacles. C.He sought to assist the blind in walking smoothly. D．He developed a new navigation app for his school. 6．Why did Jiang mention “echolocation”？ A．To show the development of technology. B．To present the difficulties the blind face. C．To stress the significance of hearing. D．To explain the inspiration of his invention. 7．What does the underlined word “dodge” mean in Paragraph 4? A．Avoid. B．Encounter. C．Challenge. D．Remove. 8．What is the text mainly about? A．3M facilities intended for the blind. B．A teen using sound to help the blind. C．An invention to cure vision problems. D．A competition to improve the blind's life.

When beach­loving Madison Checketts noticed those plastic bottles during her family's trips to California，the 12­year­old “just felt like this needed to change”， she told Smithsonian Magazine. So as she began thinking about what to do for her school science fair back in 2021，the idea of a project centered on reducing plastic pollution quickly came to her mind：she would design an eatable water bottle called the Eco­Hero. “One of my biggest ambitions for my project was wanting to help the world，” the confident young inventor said in a video on the website. To bring her idea to life，Checketts built upon the already established method by experimenting with common food materials.She also took inspiration from previous versions of eatable water bottles，though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable.She found that the combination of water，lemon juice，natural gum，and Alginic acid(褐藻酸) resulted in a gel pouch that wouldn't break，could hold up to 3/4 cup of water，and would last in the fridge for three weeks. Though she'd like to improve the Eco­Hero by making it able to hold more water，she believes her current version would work well as a replacement for the paper cups used by runners in races.All one needs to do is bite a hole in the water ball，drink the water，and then eat the pouch or throw it away to biodegrade. Madison hopes the Eco­Hero inspires others to take better care of the planet.“It doesn't necessarily have to be in a big way，” she told Smithsonian Magazine.“People can still make a difference in the world，even if it's just in a small way.” 9．What inspired Madison's design of an eatable water bottle? A．Her school's task. B．Her family's urge. C．Her love for nature. D．Her trips to the beach. 10．What can we know about the Eco­Hero? A．It is a copy of the previous versions. B．It is made from unbreakable materials. C．It is an improvement in size and durability. D．It has a hole and should be disposed once used. 11．Which of the following can best describe Checketts? A．Ambitious and creative. B．Talented and determined. C．Courageous and confident. D．Cooperative and committed. 12．What can be the best title for the text? A．A Good Beginning Is Half Done B．Small People Make Big Moves C．Where There Is a Will，There Is a Way D．God Helps Those Who Help Themselves [语篇解读]本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了12岁的女孩Madison Checketts为了解决塑料瓶污染的问题，发明可食用水瓶的故事。 9．D　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，Madison在加利福尼亚的家庭旅行中发现海滩上有塑料瓶，这让她产生了设计可食用水瓶的想法。故选D。 10．C　[解析]细节理解题。根据第五段中的though she focused on making hers bigger and more durable可知，她设计的水瓶在体积和耐用性上有了改善。故选C。 11．A　[解析]推理判断题。根据第四段可知，她有帮助世界的抱负，由此可推测出，她是一个有抱负的(ambitious)人。根据第五段可知，Checketts将想法变成现实，设计出了可食用的瓶子，由此可推测出，她是一个有创造力的(creative)人。故选A。 12．B　[解析]标题概括题。通读全文可知，年仅12岁的女孩Checketts设计出了可食用的水瓶，用自己的方式帮助保护环境，她认为人们不一定要把事情搞得轰轰烈烈，小事情也能产生重大的影响。所以B项“小人物也能有大成就”适合作为本文标题。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
