(2024·江苏南通等六市高三一模)
The motivation for his invention came to Aarrav Anil last year when he saw his uncle Arjun,who has Parkinson’s disease,struggle to eat.Some food spilled(溢出) out of his mouth,the rest splattered(溅) on his clothes.Arjun attempted to keep his dignity but the frustration forced him to give up and call his helper to feed him.
The sight of his uncle’s shaking the spoon so violently inspired Aarrav,17,from Bengaluru,south India,to turn to robotics.He locked himself in his room with microcontrollers,sensors,motors,and a 3D printer.What emerged was a prototype(原型) of a smart spoon that is now undergoing trials at the RV College of Physiotherapy in Bengaluru.
The sensors in the battery-operated spoon detect shaking on one side and activate movement on the other,effectively cancelling out shaking to keep the spoon stable.
“I’ve been fine_tuning the design based on the college’s feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork,” Aarrav says.
For Aarrav it is the peak of a 10-year interest in mechanics that began when his mother bought him a Lego set.He has now represented India at more than 20 robotics competitions across the world.
When the blueprint for the smart spoon won first prize in the Future Innovators category at last year’s World Robot Olympiad in Germany,Aarrav felt encouraged to make the prototype.
More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease,a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50.Symptoms(症状) include involuntary shaking and stiff muscles.As the disease progresses,eating can become more difficult,forcing people to rely on help from others.
Aarrav’s ambition is that every family that has someone with Parkinson’s disease will have the smart spoon.He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing(回响) in his mind: “Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?”
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Aarrav Anil发明智能勺子的原因和过程。
4.What can Aarrav’s invention help people with Parkinson’s do?
A.Control their physical balance.
B.Boost their mood and relieve stress.
C.Maintain a good range of movement.
D.Feed themselves more independently.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据第一段第一句和第三句、第二段第一句和第三句、第三段、倒数第二段最后一句以及最后一段中“He says his uncle Arjun’s words keep echoing(回响) in his mind: ‘Who would have thought such a small thing could mean the difference between dignity and indignity?’”可知,Aarrav的发明能帮助帕金森病患者更独立地自己进食。故选D。
5.What does the underlined part “fine tuning” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Overturning.
B.Reconsidering.
C.Conducting a study of.
D.Making minor changes to.
答案 D
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线部分下文“the design based on the college’s feedback—that it needs to be waterproof so that it can be washed without damaging all the electronics inside; that it must be removable so it can be cleaned and replaced by a fork”可知,Aarrav根据学院的反馈对智能勺子进行调整,所以画线部分的意思是“调整”。make minor changes to意为“对……进行微小更改”,和画线部分含义接近。故选D。
6.What is the author’s purpose in mentioning Parkinson’s disease in India?
A.To show prospects of Aarrav’s invention.
B.To reveal the nation’s poor health situation.
C.To popularize general knowledge of the disease.
D.To convince people to volunteer for social causes.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“More than 7 million people in India are estimated to have Parkinson’s disease,a condition in which parts of the brain become progressively damaged and which mainly affects people over the age of 50.”可知,作者提到帕金森病目前在印度的概况的目的是展示Aarrav的发明的前景。故选A。
7.What can be learned about Aarrav from the text?
A.He enjoys being alone.
B.He has an innovative mind.
C.He used to be a health worker.
D.He longs to be a businessman.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。根据第二、五、六段可知,Aarrav有创新的头脑。故选B。

语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国乡村旅游的发展。
1.答案 have taken
解析 考查动词时态、语态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语,由时间状语“In recent years”可知,此句用现在完成时,主语various regions为复数且与take之间为主动关系,助动词用have,故填have taken。
2.答案 innovative
解析 考查形容词。设空处作定语修饰名词短语development models,应填形容词。故填innovative。
3.答案 that/which
解析 考查定语从句。设空处引导限制性定语从句,修饰先行词development,在从句中作主语,指物,从句用关系代词that/which引导。故填that/which。
4.答案 for
解析 考查介词。fight for意为“为……而奋斗”,符合句意。故填for。
5.答案 gradually
解析 考查副词。设空处修饰谓语动词is becoming作状语,应用副词。故填gradually。
6.答案 boosting
解析 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知,设空处为非谓语动词,逻辑主语“年接待人次和旅游收入大幅增长”与动词boost之间构成主动关系,故应填现在分词形式。故填boosting。
7.答案 to get
解析 考查非谓语动词。an opportunity to do sth意为“做某事的机会”,设空处填动词不定式作后置定语。故填to get。
8.答案 a
解析 考查冠词。名词appeal前有形容词strong修饰,用作可数名词,此处表泛指用不定冠词,strong的发音以辅音音素开头,用不定冠词a。故填a。
9.答案 preference
解析 考查名词。由空前的a可知,设空处应填名词preference“偏爱,喜爱”作宾语。故填preference。
10.答案 and
解析 考查连词。设空处连接并列的三个动名词短语,用连词and。故填and。
