课时冲关21　UNIT 12　INNOVATION 汈汈汈汈汈 Ⅰ.阅读理解 主题语境：人与社会 题裁：议论文 话题：是否应该对技术有信心展开讨论 　　When it comes to technology, never before have we been both more dependent, and more cautious.Society is more connected, but also more lonely; more productive, but also more burnt­out; we have more privacy tools, but arguably less privacy.Would it be wrong to say we are becoming disappointed with it? There's no doubt that some tech innovation has been universally great.A new antibiotic that killed a previously deadly superbug was invented by an AI tool.Machines that can suck carbon dioxide out of the air could be a huge help in the fight against climate change.But on the other hand, tech­related scandals (丑闻) dominate headlines.Stories about cyberattacks and horrible online abuse are regularly on the news.“Like everything, tech has a dark side.It is a two­edged sword，” says veteran Silicon Valley watcher, Prof Mike Malone. “Fundamentally, if there was a problem people would, should, stop using it，” Paolo Pescatore, an analyst, says.But he then goes on to talk about the peer pressure to remain plugged in—from colleagues, friends and family, and even from governments wanting to switch to digital services. Mr.Halgas, a young tech boss with big ambition, tells me that the industry has become a more easily affected place for its staff.“Tech workers were very comfortable in our jobs，” he explains.“People used to say , ‘Google isn't a job; it's a retirement plan’．Those days are long gone.” “Tech workers thought they were safe from automation: now we are among the people who might be replaced by code­writing Al tools，” he says. A recent survey by PR firm Edelman suggested that 52% of people in the UK believed tech innovation was developing too fast, and 70% thought tech bosses should develop new tech slowly. Realistically, there is practically zero chance of that happening.The money and power that is flooding in, particularly to the AI sector, speaks for itself.“But the outpouring of public debate that also centers around it is healthy”， argues Prof Malone.“ We're not just blindly embracing new tech anymore and that's a good thing，” he says. 1．What do Mr.Halgas's words indicate? A．Tech industry is taking a bad turn. B．Workers in tech industry are comfortable. C．Google provides detailed retirement plans. D．Tech workers may be replaced someday. 2．What can we learn about new tech from the last 2 paragraphs? A．New tech is well received currently. B．New tech can not flood into the Al sector. C．New tech is under sensible discussion now. D．New tech is criticized for developing too slow. 3．What will the follow­up text focus on? A．A bolder attitude to developing new tech. B．An urgent appeal to welcome new tech. C．A balanced approach to embracing new tech. D．A comprehensive plan to advance new tech. 4．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Should the Public Embrace Digital Services? B．Can Innovative Technology Follow Up? C．Is It Good to Slow Tech Innovation Down? D．Should We Have Faith in Technology? [语篇解读]　这是一篇议论文。文章就我们是否应该对技术有信心展开讨论。 1．D　推理判断题。根据文章第四段“‘Tech workers thought they were safe from automation: now we are among the people who might be replaced by code­writing Al tools，’he says.(他说：‘技术工作者认为他们不会受到自动化的影响：现在我们可能会被编写代码的人工智能工具取代。’)”可推知，他的话表明技术工人有一天可能会被取代。故选D。 2．C　推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“A recent survey by PR firm Edelman suggested that 52% of people in the UK believed tech innovation was developing too fast, and 70% thought tech bosses should develop new tech slowly.(公关公司爱德曼(Edelman)最近的一项调查显示，52%的英国人认为科技创新发展太快，70%的人认为科技老板应该慢点开发新技术。)”和文章最后一段“Realistically, there is practically zero chance of that happening.The money and power...that's a good thing，’he says.(实际上，发生这种情况的可能性几乎为零。资金和权力的涌入，尤其是人工智能领域，说明了一切。‘但围绕它展开的大量公开辩论是有益的，’马龙教授辩称。他表示：‘我们不再盲目地接受新技术，这是一件好事。’)”可知，新技术现在正在被进行明智的讨论。故选C。 3．C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“‘But the outpouring of public debate that also centers around it is healthy’， argues Prof Malone.‘We're not just blindly embracing new tech anymore and that's a good thing，’he says.(‘但围绕它展开的大量公开辩论是有益的，’马龙教授辩称。他表示：‘我们不再盲目地接受新技术，这是一件好事。’)”可知，人们不再盲目地接受新技术，可推知后续文章会重点讲述接受新技术的平衡方法。故选C。 4．D　主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“When it comes to technology, never before have we been...are becoming disappointed with it？(谈到技术，我们以前从未如此依赖它，也从未如此谨慎。 社会变得更加紧密，但也更加孤独；我们变得更有效率，但也更加疲惫不堪；我们有了更多的隐私工具，但隐私保护却可能更少了。难道说我们正在对它感到失望是错误的吗？)”结合全文内容可知，文章就我们是否应该对技术有信心展开讨论。D项“Should We Have Faith in Technology？(我们应该对技术有信心吗？)”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 Ⅱ.七选五 主题语境：人与自然 体裁：说明文 话题：科学技术在农业中的应用 　　Agriculture has come a long way from its ancient beginnings. Long ago, farmers would work hard on their individual plots of land, using simple tools or even their bare hands. They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well. __1__ For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year's work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest. Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back­breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork. __2__ Probably one of the most beneficial innovations is drip irrigation, which has made it possible to develop big, green farms in the middle of the desert. Simcha Blass, an Israeli scientist, discovered this new way of irrigation in the 1930s. Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water. __3__ The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops. __4__ However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient­rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow. Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers. __5__ With such technological advances, the image of a farmer pushing a plough will eventually become a thing of the past. A．Luck played a great part in farming. B．Some areas would be too dry to grow crops. C．Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area. D．There have been experiments to make drip irrigation a reality. E．This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods. F．Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated. G．Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production. [语篇解读]　这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学技术在农业中的应用，介绍了滴灌和水培农业及其优点。 1．A　根据上文“They tended to their crops for many hours each day so that the crops grew well.(他们每天花好几个小时照料庄稼，以便庄稼长得好。)”指出农民们为了庄稼长得好，每天要花好几个小时照料庄稼，下文“For example, a single storm could destroy a whole year's work, while a summer of good weather could ensure a good harvest.(例如，一场暴风雨可以毁掉一整年的工作，而一个好天气的夏天可以保证丰收。)”以具体例子说明，突发天气状况会影响收成，由此可推知，空处应该是指出古代农业收成好坏也靠运气，A项“Luck played a great part in farming.(运气在农业中起了很大的作用。)”符合。 2．G　根据上文“Modern science and technology have helped to greatly reduce the back­breaking labour involved in farming, along with the reliance on luck and guesswork.(现代科学技术大大减少了农业劳动的负担，同时也减少了对运气和猜测的依赖。)”指出现代科技给农业带来的好处，空处也应该承接上文，继续描写现代科技给农业带来的好处，G项“Farmers have benefited greatly from innovations in crop production.(农民从农作物生产的创新中获益匪浅。)”符合。 3．E　根据上文“Through this discovery, farmers can now produce crops on dry land without needing much water.”指出滴灌的优点，农民不仅可以在旱地上种植，而且不需要太多水，下文“The limited and focused use of just the right amount of water also denies moisture (水分) to weeds, keeping them from harming the crops.”指出滴灌使用有限而集中的水对农业的好处，由此可知，空处应承接上文，继续描写滴灌用水少这一优点，E项“This irrigation method uses far less water than other methods.(这种灌溉方法比其他方法用水少得多。)”符合。 4．C　根据由下文“However, what if an area has plenty of water, but little usable soil? As it turns out, it is possible to grow plants without using soil at all. With hydroponics (水培), plant roots are supported by rocks or a fiber mat. Nutrient­rich water is then provided so that the plants can grow.”的However可知，空处和下文是对比关系，且结合上段提到用水少的滴灌可知，空处应该是对上文进行总结，同时和下文进行对比，即用滴灌能解决缺水地区的农业问题和水培能解决水多地区的问题做对比，C项“Drip irrigation deals with a lack of water in an area.(滴灌解决了一个地区缺水的问题。)”符合。 5．F　根据上文“Recent research has centered on vertical hydroponics farming. With a vertical farm, the crops are planted in containers that are piled into plant skyscrapers.”提出最近的研究都在垂直水培农业上，同时描述了垂直水培农作物的一些情况，空处应该继续描写垂直水培农作物的一些相关内容，F项“Furthermore, nearly all hydroponic farms partially or fully automated.(此外，几乎所有的水培农场都部分或全部自动化。)”符合语境。 Ⅲ.应用文写作(邮件)◄ 假定你是李华，你班计划在周末组织农场研学(agritourism)，请给你的外教Chris写封邮件邀请他参加，内容包括： 1．活动时间和内容； 2．注意事项。 注意：1.词数80左右； 2．可适当增加细节，使内容充实，行文连贯。 Dear Chris, ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua [参考范文] Dear Chris， How is everything going recently?
