Sensors (传感器) record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器) to a smartphone.Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet. The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers.“People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well，” Dr. Davide Vigano said.A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year.This is pretty much more than any other human activity.Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels. Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea.We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf.Anything where you have to use your feet can use it.It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.” Socks are just the start and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots.The socks, anklet and software package are expected to be sold for around ￡120, which will go on sale in March.

But can education also have a positive effect on our brains as we get older? A team of researchers under the University Research Priority Program “Dynamics of Healthy Aging” led by Lutz Jancke, professor of neuropsychology at the University of Zurich, has now explored this question in a long-term study. The researchers followed more than 200 senior people for over seven years. The study participants were not affected by dementia (痴呆)，had average to above-average intelligence and led highly active social lives. Based on complex statistical analyses, the researchers were able to show that academic education had a positive effect on age-related brain degeneration (衰退). The findings showed that over the course of seven years, senior people with an academic background showed a significantly lower increase in typical signs of brain degeneration. “In addition, academics (高校科研人员)also processed information faster and more correctly—for example, when matching letters and numbers of patterns. The decline in their mental processing performance was lower overall，” summarizes researcher Isabel Hotz. The findings add to initial findings of other research groups, who have found that education has a positive effect on brain aging. Previous studies also suggest that mental processing speed depends on the integrity (完整) of neural networks in the brain. If these networks are affected, mental processing speed decreases. “Even though no causal link between education and reduced natural brain degeneration has been found so far, the following at least seems likely: We think that a high level of education leads to an increase in neural and cognitive networks over the course of people’s lives, and that they build up reserves, so to speak. In old age, their brains are better able to make up for any injury that occurs，” says Lutz Jancke. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。研究表明，学术教育对大脑有积极的影响，在一定程度上可以延缓大脑衰退的速度。 28．What effect does a good education have according to the first paragraph? A．It changes one’s appearance. B．It ensures one’s physical health.

Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. The amazing invention aims to offer real relief to people eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on hot days. Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, took a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile (纺织品) that can absorb body heat and re-emit (重发出) its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation. This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique known as radiative cooling. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror. Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3℃， but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin. Inventors Ma and Tao are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as their old stuff，” Tao said. So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be coming to an end!

Just think, what would happen if your computer or laptop crashed today? What if someone took away your phone for some days or perhaps you lost it？ 36 Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology. Most of us cannot go for a minute without looking at our phones and the fear of the battery dying is immense (极大的). If you happen to work in offices, you may be familiar with this trend. 37 Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer? This is common in almost all offices. Kids used to spend a lot of time with each other or parents playing or just sharing stories. Those evening games after school are over; watching cartoons on a Sunday or playing with friends is no longer there. 38 Technology has taken all their time. Society may have gone too far in technology dependence. It has become so immense that doctors have recommended people for “technology detox(脱瘾)”. 39 If not, according to researchers from Oxford University, technology detox is a period during which an individual avoids using any electronic devices including computers, smartphones, etc., as a chance to reduce stress and focus on social interaction in the outside world. Well, the choice remains in our hands. We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today. 40 Meanwhile, we should have the discipline to turn it off when we are supposed to experience life in reality. A．Perhaps you may have heard of it. B．We appreciate technology since it has its benefits. C．If the Internet is down, all the tasks are over for the day. D．Technology addiction has become a major problem among teenagers. E．If thinking about these incidents makes you stressed, you are not alone. F．Here are some signs that our generation depends too much on technology. G．Today, most kids remain indoors playing computer games or with a smartphone. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了现代人对科技的依赖。科技确实重要，但我们也要保持生活的真实性，体验真正的生活。 36．答案：E 解析：空前内容“Just think, what would happen...or perhaps you lost it？”提出了电子产品不能使用的假想情况，空后句“Today, most people are becoming dependent on technology.”说明人们对科技的依赖。E项(如果想到这些情况的发生会使你焦虑不安，那么并不是你一个人这样)承接上下文，符合文义。E项中not alone对应下文的most people。 37．答案：C 解析：根据空后内容“Anyway, it’s true. How can work continue if it’s hard to send an email to a colleague or customer？(不管怎样，这是真的。如果很难给同事或客户发送电子邮件，工作如何继续？)”可知，此处应该是提及无法发送电子邮件的原因是没有网络，C项(如果网络断了，这一天所有的任务都结束了)符合语境。 38．答案：G 解析：上文提到过去孩子们常常花很多时间和彼此或父母在一起玩耍或分享故事，而如今放学后的晚间游戏结束了，在周日看动画片或者和朋友们一起玩已经不存在了。此处旨在说明孩子们对科技的依赖，G项(现如今，大多数小孩待在室内玩电脑游戏或者玩智能手机)承接上文，符合文义。 39．答案：A 解析：空前句提到“technology detox”，空后句对该名词进行了解释。故A项(也许你可能听说过它)承接上下文，符合文义。 40．答案：B 解析：根据空前句“We must agree that society is being carried away by the increased inventions being introduced in our lives today.”并结合空后内容可知，此处应该是我们对科技的肯定。B项(我们欣赏科技，因为它有它的好处)符合文义。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I have invented robots that crawl (爬) through pipes to check them for damage.Two of my 41 allow cars to be used as power plants on wheels.My love of building things 42 when I was a kid.It wasn’t until I learned about Thomas Edison, though, that I really became excited about inventing.

However, it is sad to see that new technologies introduced to make our lives easier are making life 57.____________ (difficult) for some people, mostly elderly people.

Many banks require their customers to pass a facial 60.____________ (recognize) test, but what if that is difficult for a customer to do? 56．答案：at 解析：考查介词。句意：在过去的10年里，我们看到技术以高速发展。at high speed意为“以高速”，故本空应用介词at。 57．答案：more difficult 解析：考查形容词比较级。句意：然而，令人难过的是，为使我们的生活更轻松而引入的新技术使一些人的生活变得更加困难，其中大多数是老年人。根据句意及空前easier可知，本空应用形容词的比较级形式。 58．答案：to operate 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：例如，许多办事处要求用户在智能手机上操作一些服务，但如果一位老年公民不会使用智能手机怎么办？require sb. to do sth.意为“要求某人做某事”，故本空应用不定式形式作宾语补足语。 59．答案：an 解析：考查冠词。句意参考上题。空后elderly citizen为单数，此处表示泛指，且elderly的发音以元音音素开头，故本空应用不定冠词an。 60．答案：recognition 解析：考查词性转换。句意：许多银行要求客户通过一项面部识别测试，但如果客户很难做到那一点怎么办？根据空前的形容词facial可知，本空应用名词形式。recognition意为“识别”，符合语境。 Technology 61.____________ (use) to serve the people.

This measure shows that the local government has 65.____________ (full) taken people’s needs into consideration. This is a good example for others to learn from. 61．答案：is used 解析：考查动词的时态和语态。句意：技术是用来为人民服务的。本句阐述客观事实，故应用一般现在时，且句子主语technology和动词use之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故本空应用一般现在时的被动语态。 62．答案：making 解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：当制订规则和程序时，当局应该更多地考虑他们。本空在句中作状语，动词make和句子主语the authorities之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故本空应用现在分词形式。 63．答案：opened 解析：考查动词的时态。句意：今年早些时候，江苏省无锡市火车站为那些不使用智能手机或手机电量耗尽的人开设了一个专门的柜台。设空处为主句的谓语，根据时间状语earlier this year可知，本空应用一般过去时。 64．答案：whose 解析：考查定语从句。句意参考上题。本空引导定语从句，修饰先行词those，且本空在从句中作定语，修饰名词phones，故应用关系代词whose。 65．答案：fully 解析：考查词性转换。句意：这项措施表明，当地政府充分考虑了人们的需求。本空修饰过去分词taken，故应用副词形式作状语。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 你校将举行英语作文竞赛，请你适当发挥想象力，以“Robots in the Future”为题写一篇短文参赛，内容包括： 1．机器人将来在工业和生活中的用途； 2．你对未来使用机器人的看法。 注意：词数80左右。 Robots in the Future I think more and more intelligent robots will be used in the future. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ [参考范文] Robots in the Future I think more and more intelligent robots will be used in the future.

They didn’t have much, but there was always food on the table—for Andy, at least. To support the family, Mary did three jobs. It was tiring, but Mary didn’t give up. Each day when she finally got home, she’d bring Andy home from a kind neighbor, who attended to her boy for hours daily. Years later when Andy was 15, Mary was still working hard. One morning she crazily looked for the house keys, worried about getting late for work. She had a long way ahead, but she didn’t even make it to her house’s front door. She tried to move the sofa to see if the keys had fallen behind it. At the time, Andy was preparing to go to school. Suddenly, Mary fell due to long-term lack of sleep. And when she fell, her head hit the sofa’s edge, which caused her to faint immediately. So worried, Andy did everything he could to help his mom. Finally, he took her to hospital. Hours later, Mary woke up, noticing Andy’s hand on her shoulder. The doctor brought her document for her to read. She soon knew why she was in hospital. And she knew the fall had reduced her sense of hearing to 20%. Mary couldn’t help crying. “What am I going to do now？” she thought as she looked at Andy. With tears in his eyes, Andy said, “I love you, Mom！” And it saddened them both again because Mary could barely hear Andy’s words. The doctor recommended wearing a hearing aid. It was a very expensive device. “Who has that kind of money？” Mary thought, feeling upset and hopeless. But Andy wasn’t. “Mom has taken good care of me for years. It’s high time that I did something to try to repay her，” Andy thought. He was determined to take a part-time job to earn the money for the hearing aid. Since his academic performance was very good, he decided to work as a tutor for junior kids. 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 First, he made advertisements.______________________________ __________________________________________________________ One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear.________________________________________ __________________________________________________________ [参考范文] First, he made advertisements.Then, he put them up in the neighborhood. Attracted, some parents invited him home. After an interview, they were content with Andy’s teaching ability and hired him. Thus, Andy’s schedule became so tight that he often didn’t get home until dinner time. Andy kept it a secret from his mom. Finally, he was amazed he earned enough money. He immediately bought a hearing aid for his mom and studied the instructions. One morning when Mary was still sleeping soundly, Andy put the hearing aid in her ear. Mary awakened to the sounds of birds singing and car horns. “Morning, Mom，” Andy said. Mary turned, finding Andy was sitting nearby, smiling. “Is there a hearing aid？” she asked in disbelief. Andy nodded and asked, “How does it feel？” Mary replied that it was incredible, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She was relieved that her son loved her so much. $$
