Come and see them! Eco-friendly Umbrella Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface. Pollution-sensitive Dress Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients. Eco-friendly Car Racer Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hop (葎草) and rapeseed oil (菜籽油) and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be used by the automotive industry. It is sold at $51,000． Eco-friendly. Moss (苔藓) Carpet Do you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increase your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes-ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else. 1．What is the primary function of the EPA Dress? A．To inform people of air quality. B．To warn wearers about indoor air pollution levels. C．To improve blood circulation through its design. D．To serve as fashionable clothing for business meetings. 2．Which statement about the Eco One car racer is correct? A．Its tyres are made from recycled plastic materials. B．It uses plant-based materials for its body and fuel. C．It is designed to replace traditional family vehicles. D．Only researchers at Warwick University can purchase it. 3．Where would this article most likely appear? A．A business magazine. B．A personal blog. C．An official document. D．An environmental magazine. 【答案】1．A 2．B 3．D 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四种新型的环保产品，并详细说明了各种产品的特色。 1．细节理解题。根据Pollution-Sensitive Dress部分“The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. (斯蒂芬妮·桑德斯托姆设计的对污染敏感的EPA服装相应地注意到了空气中的污染)”可知，The EPA Dress这种衣服可以提醒人们外面空气的污染情况。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据Eco-friendly Car Racer部分“Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hop (葎草) and rapeseed oil (菜籽油) and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet?(你能想象一辆赛车是如此的环保吗？它的轮胎是用土豆做的，车身是用葎草和菜籽油做的，行驶的燃料是用小麦和甜菜做的)”可知，Eco One的部件主要是由一些植物做成的。故选B项。 3．推理判断题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Will you be crazy about these newly-built products that are not merely quite useful but also good to the environment?(你会为这些不仅有用而且对环境有益的新产品而疯狂吗？)”可知，本文介绍了四种新型的环保产品，并详细说明了各种产品的特色，可能是出自一本关于环保的杂志。故选D项。 B Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩 症), and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker (储物柜). So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist (治疗师), thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering. Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school’s robotics instructor. The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later. Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor. Now, between classes Nick steers (驾驶,控制) his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence. 4．Why did Amy Smith want a device? A．To help treat a muscle disease. B．To inspire a robotics invention. C．To encourage cooperation at school. D．To increase her student’s confidence. 5．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Nick can open and close the locker without sitting in his wheelchair now. B．The brilliant boys wasted no time and tackled the problem immediately. C．Amy helped Nick by buying a device which can open the locker. D．The success of the device came through numerous failures. 6．With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ______. A．move around easily B．put his things away C．open and close his locker D．continue his schooling 7．According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt? A．Caring and passionate. B．Talented and ambitious. C．Sensitive and insightful. D．Humble and warmhearted. 【答案】4．D 5．D 6．C 7．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Nick Torrance，一位患有肌肉萎缩症的高中生，如何通过学校机器人团队的帮助，获得了一种能够让他独立打开储物柜的装置，从而增强了他的自信心。 4．细节理解题。根据第一段“Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩 症), and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker (储物柜). So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist (治疗师), thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering.(尼克·托伦斯（Nick Torrance）是一名高三学生，患有肌肉萎缩症，并坐在专门的轮椅上上学。肌肉疾病使他无法完成许多日常任务，比如拿书和把东西放进储物柜里。所以他找了一个同学来帮他。但学校的职业治疗师艾米·史密斯认为，能够自己做一些简单的事情，比如打开储物柜，会给他带来力量。)”和第二段的句子“Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do.(艾米起初以为他们可以买个设备来帮忙。但在网上搜索却找不到任何能满足他们需求的东西——所有东西都需要一个键码或一些其他的物理动作，而她的残疾学生却做不到。)”可知，Amy Smith想要一个装置是为了增强Nick的自信心。故选D项。 5．细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience.(就像在任何设备开发中一样，Micah和Wyatt也经历了许多尝试和错误，才创造出适合目标用户的内容。)”可知，这个装置的成功是通过多次失败后取得的。故选D项。 6．细节理解题。根据最后一段“Now, between classes Nick steers (驾驶,控制) his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence.(现在，在课间休息的时候，尼克把他的电动轮椅推到他的储物柜前，用手在轮椅扶手上的传感器上挥了挥手。几秒钟后，储物柜的门打开了。另一个挥手就关上了门。尼克可以轻松地做到这一点——这可能是一件小事，但这给了他一种独立的感觉。)”可知，Nick可以通过轮椅上的传感器轻松地打开和关闭储物柜。故选C项。 7．推理判断题。根据第三段“The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later.(反过来，老师建议他的两个最有能力的学生：Micah Stuhldreher和Wyatt smrka来承担这个项目。他们在全国机器人比赛中获得了第一名，所以用机器人解决储物柜门问题是很自然的选择。迈卡和怀亚特立即投入工作，每个上学日花一个小时，头脑风暴，制作，重建各种版本的设备，直到一年后他们找到了完美的解决方案。)”和第四段“Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor.(就像在任何设备开发中一样，Micah和Wyatt也经历了许多尝试和错误，才创造出适合目标用户的内容。例如，他们最初做了一个储物柜打开按钮，但尼克不够强壮，无法按下它，所以他们用传感器代替了它。)”可知，Micah和Wyatt是富有同情心和热情的。故选A项。 C Seaweed is getting more attention as researchers uncover its health benefits, its use as a food source, and its value to the environment. A research team from the University of Sussex has combined all its advantages into a biodegradable, edible electronic health monitor. “Watching MasterChef, a UK competitive television cooking show, I got inspired to use seaweed in the lab,” says Dr Boland, a materials physics lecturer at the University of Sussex. “Seaweed, when used to thicken desserts, gives them a soft and bouncy structure, favoured by vegetarians to replace gelatina, a clear flavourless material that can solidify when cooled. It got me thinking: what if we could do that with sensing technology?” Seaweed itself doesn’t conduct electricity, but the researchers produced an electrically conductive film by means of adding graphene (石墨烯) to a seaweed mixture. The film quickly absorbs water when placed in a salt bath, forming a hydrogel (凝胶), which can effectively sense pressure, making it a good candidate for monitoring things like heart rate and temperature. “The healthcare industry has always depended on unsustainable rubber or plastic to create wearable monitoring devices, which can put human health at risk from microplastics leaking into water sources as they break down,” says Boland. “In contrast, our Sussex sensor is fully biodegradable as well as highly effective.” Electronics that may be consumed and digested can carry out various beneficial tasks inside the body. The natural composition also places them within the emerging scientific field of eatable electronics. “Future uses of clinical-grade wearable sensors might just be like a second skin: lightweight, easy to apply, and safe due to their all-natural elements. The advancement of Boland’s team will dramatically transform health monitoring technology, which will vastly upgrade the entire patient experience while removing the need for hospital tools, wires and leads,” expressed Dr. Sue Baxter, Director of Innovation and Business Partnerships at the University of Sussex. 8．What do the underlined words “do that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Employ seaweed. B．Cook British cuisine. C．Turn liquid into solid. D．Get favor from vegetarians. 9．The seaweed mixture would not conduct electricity if ____. A．not left in salt water B．not combined with graphene C．it didn’t generate a hydrogel D．it couldn’t sense enough pressure 10．What makes the Sussex sensor special according to Boland? A．Its function. B．Its appearance. C．Its material. D．Its cost-effectiveness. 11．Which of the following best describes the future impact of the advancement? A．Unidentified. B．Insignificant. C．Game-changing. D．Short-lived. 【答案】8．A 9．B 10．C 11．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国研究团队利用海藻和石墨烯开发出可食用、可降解的电子健康监测设备，具有环保与医疗双重价值。 8．词句猜测题。根据第二段中“‘Watching MasterChef, a UK competitive television cooking show, I got inspired to use seaweed in the lab,’ says Dr Boland, a materials physics lecturer at the University of Sussex. (‘观看英国电视烹饪比赛节目《厨艺大师》时，我受到了启发，想在实验室里使用海藻，’苏塞克斯大学材料物理学讲师博兰博士说。)”以及“It got me thinking: what if we could do that with sensing technology? (这让我开始思考：如果我们能把这项技术用于传感技术呢？)”可知，此处“do that”指的是使用海藻，即利用海藻的特性进行传感技术的开发。故选A。 9．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Seaweed itself doesn’t conduct electricity, but the researchers produced an electrically conductive film by means of adding graphene (石墨烯) to a seaweed mixture.  (海藻本身不导电，但研究人员通过在海藻混合物中添加石墨烯制成了一种导电薄膜。)”可知，如果海藻混合物没有与石墨烯结合，它就不会导电。故选B。 10．细节理解题。根据第四段“‘The healthcare industry has always depended on unsustainable rubber or plastic to create wearable monitoring devices, which can put human health at risk from microplastics leaking into water sources as they break down,’ says Boland. ‘In contrast, our Sussex sensor is fully biodegradable as well as highly effective.’ (博兰说：‘医疗保健行业一直依赖不可持续的橡胶或塑料来制造可穿戴监测设备，这些设备在分解时，微塑料会泄漏到水源中，从而使人类健康面临风险。相比之下，我们苏塞克斯大学研发的传感器不仅完全可生物降解，而且非常有效。’)”可知，博兰认为Sussex传感器的特别之处在于它的材料，即可生物降解。故选C。 11．推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Future uses of clinical-grade wearable sensors might just be like a second skin: lightweight, easy to apply, and safe due to their all-natural elements. The advancement of Boland’s team will dramatically transform health monitoring technology, which will vastly upgrade the entire patient experience while removing the need for hospital tools, wires and leads,’ expressed Dr. Sue Baxter, Director of Innovation and Business Partnerships at the University of Sussex. (苏塞克斯大学创新与商业合作主任苏·巴克斯特博士表示：‘未来临床级可穿戴传感器的使用可能就像第二层皮肤一样：轻便、易于使用，而且由于其天然成分而安全。博兰团队的进步将彻底改变健康监测技术，这将极大地提升整个患者的体验，同时消除对医院工具、电线和导线的需求。’)”可推知，这种进步的未来影响是具有变革性的，即“Game-changing”。故选C。 D Nuclear power plants, which generate about 20% of all electricity produced in the United States, produce almost no greenhouse gas emissions (排放). However, these systems do create radioactive waste, which can be dangerous to human health and the environment. Safely removing this waste can be challenging. A new study reveals that researchers have developed a battery capable of transforming nuclear energy into electricity through light emission. Led by Ohio State University researchers, the team combined radiation-responsive light-producing materials and solar cells. They demonstrated that environmental gamma radiation (伽马辐射) could be used to produce sufficient electricity for powering microelectronics like microchips. The battery, a 4-cubic-centimeter model, was tested at Ohio State’s Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. Researchers used two different radioactive sources, cesium-137, and cobalt-60, some of the most significant separating products that come from nuclear waste. The tests showed it generated 288 nanowatts with cesium-137 and 1.5 microwatt s with cobalt-60, enough to power a small sensor (传感器). Lead author Raymond Cao believes it can be expanded with the right power source. Since batteries of this type would most likely end up in environments where high levels of radiation already exist and aren’t easily accessible to the public, these long-lasting devices wouldn’t pollute their surroundings. Even more significantly, they could also operate without the need for routine maintenance. Expanding this technology up would be costly unless these batteries could be reliably made, said Cao. Further research is needed to assess the batteries’ usefulness and limitations, including how long they might last once safely put into use, said Oksuz, co-author of the study. He also noted, “There’s still lots of room for improvement, but I believe in the future, this approach will carve an important space for itself in both the energy production and sensors industry.” 12．What does paragraph 1 want to tell us about the new battery? A．Its relation with nuclear plants. B．Its impact on greenhouse gases. C．Its mode of power generation. D．Its influence on electricity. 13．What does the author want to stress using numbers in paragraph 3? A．The kinds of radioactive sources. B．The battery’s tested power output. C．The size of the tested battery. D．The test sites of the battery. 14．What does Oksuz think of the newly-developed nuclear battery? A．It holds great promise. B．It is easily produced. C．It has potential risks. D．It is cheap to expand production. 15．What is the best title for the text? A．Nuclear Waste: a Fresh Problem B．Solar Cells: Transforming Light to Power C．Nuclear Power: Presenting Health Risks D．New Battery: Turning Waste to Treasure 【答案】12．C 13．B 14．A 15．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新型电池，它能将核能转化为电能，利用核废料发电，为能源生产和传感器行业带来新机遇。 12．细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study reveals that researchers have developed a battery capable of transforming nuclear energy into electricity through light emission. (一项新研究表明，研究人员已经开发出一种电池，能够通过发光将核能转化为电能)”可知，第一段主要介绍了新电池的发电模式，即通过发光将核能转化为电能。故选C。 13．推理判断题。根据第三段“The tests showed it generated 288 nanowatts with cesium-137 and 1.5 microwatts with cobalt-60, enough to power a small sensor (传感器). (测试表明，使用铯-137时，它能产生288纳瓦的电力；使用钴-60时，能产生1.5微瓦的电力，足以驱动一个小型传感器)”可知，作者通过列举具体数据，强调了电池的测试输出功率。故选B。 14．细节理解题。根据最后一段“He also noted, “There’s still lots of room for improvement, but I believe in the future, this approach will carve an important space for itself in both the energy production and sensors industry.”(他还指出，“仍有很大的改进空间，但我相信未来这种方法将在能源生产和传感器行业为自己开辟一个重要的空间。”)”可知，Oksuz认为新开发的核电池能在能源生产和传感器行业占据重要地位，即Oksuz认为新开发的核电池具有很大的发展潜力。故选A。 15．主旨大意题。根据第一段“A new study reveals that researchers have developed a battery capable of transforming nuclear energy into electricity through light emission. (一项新研究表明，研究人员已经开发出一种电池，能够通过发光将核能转化为电能)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了研究人员开发出的一种新型电池，它能够将核能通过发光转化为电能，并利用核废料中的放射性物质发电，为能源生产和传感器行业带来新的可能性，即将核废料“变废为宝”。所以D项“新电池：变废为宝”适合作为文章标题。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad. Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses. 16 George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves. 17 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.” Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created. 18 19 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea. 20 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable. A．The alternative is a bright AI prospect. B．However, the reality could be far worse. C．Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm. D．This means that the Earth is the only place with life. E．By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China. F．Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold. G．Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years. 【答案】16．B 17．A 18．F 19．G 20．E 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了到本世纪中叶可能会出现的好坏不同的情况。 16．根据上文“Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses.(现在，人们关注的是人工智能可能导致失业。)”和下文“George Stakhov said, By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world.

The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves.(很有可能存在一个黑暗的人工智能未来，控制人工智能的人将获得巨大的权力，而99%的人口将被剥夺权利。人工智能大师将控制世界的数据，把我们其他人变成他们的奴隶。)”和下文“In that case, everyone benefits from Al through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.(在这种情况下，每个人都可以通过更好的医疗保健、更快的交通和更少的污染从人工智能中受益。)”可知，上文提到了一个黑暗的人工智能未来，下文提到了在这种情况下，每个人都可以通过更好的医疗保健、更快的交通和更少的污染从人工智能中受益，所以此处说的是一个光明的人工智能未来，A选项“The alternative is a bright AI prospect.(另一种选择是光明的人工智能前景。)”符合语境。故选A。 18．根据上文“Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created.(未来学家、前谷歌工程师雷·库兹韦尔表示，到2025年，人类将与机器融合，并预测到2045年，人类将把大脑连接到机器上，与创造的智能融合。)”可知，上文提到了人类将与机器融合，与创造的智能融合，所以此处说的是这将提高人类的智能，F选项“Thus, people will increase their effective intelligence a billion-fold.(因此，人们将把他们的有效智力提高数十亿倍。)”说明了人类将与机器融合，与创造的智能融合的结果，承接上文，符合语境。故选F。 19．根据下文“That means we could be in contact with aliens.(这意味着我们可以与外星人接触。)”可知，下文提到了这意味着我们可以与外星人接触，所以此处说的是我们可能会发现外星人，G选项“Alien-hunting astronomer Shostak bets we should find aliens within two dozen years.(寻找外星人的天文学家肖斯塔克打赌说，我们应该在24年内找到外星人。)”引出下文，符合语境。故选G。 20．根据上文“Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea.(不断上升的湿度和热量将导致热浪，使得包括南亚和红海在内的地区几乎不可能有人类生存。)”和下文“Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating.(当湿度较低时，人类可以在高达50摄氏度的温度下生存，但在高湿度下，人类无法生存，因为没有办法通过出汗来降温。)”可知，上文提到了不断上升的湿度和热量将导致热浪，使得包括南亚和红海在内的地区几乎不可能有人类生存，下文提到了在高湿度下，人类无法生存，E选项“By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China.(到2070年，巴西和中国的一些地区也将出现这种情况。)”符合语境。故选E。 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项 In the heart of Gaza, a 15-year-old Palestinian teen, Hussam Al-Attar, has become a beacon of hope. He has been 21 the “Newton of Gaza” because he came up with a brilliant and practical solution to address the power 22 issue in displacement shelters in Rafah. Equipped with 23 basic tools, Hussam generated electricity to illuminate the dark shelters. The 24 behind his solution was simple — he wanted to 25 the loneliness and fear his twin nephews experienced in the dark tent. Despite the 26 of resources, Hussam managed to create fans that generate electricity. Firstly, he 27 components from damaged electronic devices, gathering essential elements for his 28 generators. These components have included coils, wires, and magnets. Next, Hussam 29 a simple yet effective turbine (涡轮) using locally 30 materials.

This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. 注意： 1. 续写段落不少于150个词； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 参考词汇： the Internet keep in touch  social media health monitor Paragraph 1: On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 【导语】本文以“我们应该抵制新技术吗”为线索展开，作者通过无人驾驶汽车发生车祸引起很多人对这项新技术持否定态度引出话题。一方面，有的人确实可以在没有新技术的情况下仍然生活得更好；另一方面新技术也给各地的人们带来了很多好处。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“另一方面，新技术多年来为世界各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，”可知，第一段可描写新技术给世界各地带来好处的例子，比如最新的天气跟踪计算机程序给人们许多关于潜在自然灾害的警告。还有互联网，使人们联系子在一起。 ②由第二段首句内容“就我个人而言，我从技术进步中获益匪浅。”可知，第二段可描写“我”对新技术的看法。 2.续写线索：新技术有很多好处——举例子说明——表达“我”对新技术的看法 3.词汇激活行为类 ①保持联系：keep in touch/stay in touch/keep contact ②看待：look on/view ③抵制：resist/boycott 情绪类 ①吓人的：scary/frightening 【点睛】[高分句型1] For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives.（由关系词which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.（由关系词which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect.（由when引导的时间状语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit 2 Looking into the Future单元测试 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共30分，略） 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Will you be crazy about these newly-built products that are not merely quite useful but also good to the environment? Come and see them! Eco-friendly Umbrella Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface. Pollution-sensitive Dress Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients. Eco-friendly Car Racer Can you image a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hop (葎草) and rapeseed oil (菜籽油) and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be used by the automotive industry. It is sold at $51,000． Eco-friendly. Moss (苔藓) Carpet Do you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increase your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes-ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else. 1．What is the primary function of the EPA Dress? A．To inform people of air quality. B．To warn wearers about indoor air pollution levels. C．To improve blood circulation through its design. D．To serve as fashionable clothing for business meetings. 2．Which statement about the Eco One car racer is correct? A．Its tyres are made from recycled plastic materials. B．It uses plant-based materials for its body and fuel. C．It is designed to replace traditional family vehicles. D．Only researchers at Warwick University can purchase it. 3．Where would this article most likely appear? A．A business magazine. B．A personal blog. C．An official document. D．An environmental magazine. B Nick Torrance, a junior in high school, suffers from muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎缩 症), and attends school in a specialized wheelchair. The muscle disease prevents him from accomplishing many everyday tasks, such as carrying his books and putting things away in his locker (储物柜). So he had a fellow student assigned to help him. But Amy Smith, the school’s occupational therapist (治疗师), thought that being able to do something simple like opening his locker on his own would be empowering. Amy initially thought they would be able to buy a device to help. But searching online turned up nothing that could meet their needs—everything needed a keycode or some other physical action, things her disabled student couldn’t do. After the outside search for a method came up short, she looked within the school itself for an answer. Amy turned to the school’s robotics instructor. The instructor, in turn, suggested that two of his most capable students take on the project: Micah Stuhldreher and Wyatt Smrcka. They took first place in a national robotics competition, so they were a natural choice to tackle the locker door problem with a robotics solution. Micah and Wyatt wasted no time getting down to work and for an hour each school day, the boys brainstormed, built, and rebuilt various versions of the device until they landed on the perfect solution one year later. Like in any device development, it took a lot of trial and error for Micah and Wyatt to make something that would work for their target audience. For example, they initially built a locker-opening button, but Nick wasn’t strong enough to push it, so they replaced it with a sensor. Now, between classes Nick steers (驾驶,控制) his electric wheelchair to his locker and waves his hand over a sensor on the arm of the wheelchair. A few seconds later, the locker door swings open. Another wave closes the door. Nick can make it with ease—it may be a small thing, but it gives him a sense of independence. 4．Why did Amy Smith want a device? A．To help treat a muscle disease. B．To inspire a robotics invention. C．To encourage cooperation at school. D．To increase her student’s confidence. 5．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A．Nick can open and close the locker without sitting in his wheelchair now. B．The brilliant boys wasted no time and tackled the problem immediately. C．Amy helped Nick by buying a device which can open the locker. D．The success of the device came through numerous failures. 6．With a sensor in his wheelchair, Nick can ______. A．move around easily B．put his things away C．open and close his locker D．continue his schooling 7．According to the passage, which words can best describe Micah and Wyatt? A．Caring and passionate. B．Talented and ambitious. C．Sensitive and insightful. D．Humble and warmhearted. C Seaweed is getting more attention as researchers uncover its health benefits, its use as a food source, and its value to the environment. A research team from the University of Sussex has combined all its advantages into a biodegradable, edible electronic health monitor. “Watching MasterChef, a UK competitive television cooking show, I got inspired to use seaweed in the lab,” says Dr Boland, a materials physics lecturer at the University of Sussex. “Seaweed, when used to thicken desserts, gives them a soft and bouncy structure, favoured by vegetarians to replace gelatina, a clear flavourless material that can solidify when cooled. It got me thinking: what if we could do that with sensing technology?” Seaweed itself doesn’t conduct electricity, but the researchers produced an electrically conductive film by means of adding graphene (石墨烯) to a seaweed mixture. The film quickly absorbs water when placed in a salt bath, forming a hydrogel (凝胶), which can effectively sense pressure, making it a good candidate for monitoring things like heart rate and temperature. “The healthcare industry has always depended on unsustainable rubber or plastic to create wearable monitoring devices, which can put human health at risk from microplastics leaking into water sources as they break down,” says Boland. “In contrast, our Sussex sensor is fully biodegradable as well as highly effective.” Electronics that may be consumed and digested can carry out various beneficial tasks inside the body. The natural composition also places them within the emerging scientific field of eatable electronics. “Future uses of clinical-grade wearable sensors might just be like a second skin: lightweight, easy to apply, and safe due to their all-natural elements. The advancement of Boland’s team will dramatically transform health monitoring technology, which will vastly upgrade the entire patient experience while removing the need for hospital tools, wires and leads,” expressed Dr. Sue Baxter, Director of Innovation and Business Partnerships at the University of Sussex. 8．What do the underlined words “do that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A．Employ seaweed. B．Cook British cuisine. C．Turn liquid into solid. D．Get favor from vegetarians. 9．The seaweed mixture would not conduct electricity if ____. A．not left in salt water B．not combined with graphene C．it didn’t generate a hydrogel D．it couldn’t sense enough pressure 10．What makes the Sussex sensor special according to Boland? A．Its function. B．Its appearance. C．Its material. D．Its cost-effectiveness. 11．Which of the following best describes the future impact of the advancement? A．Unidentified. B．Insignificant. C．Game-changing. D．Short-lived. D Nuclear power plants, which generate about 20% of all electricity produced in the United States, produce almost no greenhouse gas emissions (排放). However, these systems do create radioactive waste, which can be dangerous to human health and the environment. Safely removing this waste can be challenging. A new study reveals that researchers have developed a battery capable of transforming nuclear energy into electricity through light emission. Led by Ohio State University researchers, the team combined radiation-responsive light-producing materials and solar cells. They demonstrated that environmental gamma radiation (伽马辐射) could be used to produce sufficient electricity for powering microelectronics like microchips. The battery, a 4-cubic-centimeter model, was tested at Ohio State’s Nuclear Reactor Laboratory. Researchers used two different radioactive sources, cesium-137, and cobalt-60, some of the most significant separating products that come from nuclear waste. The tests showed it generated 288 nanowatts with cesium-137 and 1.5 microwatt s with cobalt-60, enough to power a small sensor (传感器). Lead author Raymond Cao believes it can be expanded with the right power source. Since batteries of this type would most likely end up in environments where high levels of radiation already exist and aren’t easily accessible to the public, these long-lasting devices wouldn’t pollute their surroundings. Even more significantly, they could also operate without the need for routine maintenance. Expanding this technology up would be costly unless these batteries could be reliably made, said Cao. Further research is needed to assess the batteries’ usefulness and limitations, including how long they might last once safely put into use, said Oksuz, co-author of the study. He also noted, “There’s still lots of room for improvement, but I believe in the future, this approach will carve an important space for itself in both the energy production and sensors industry.” 12．What does paragraph 1 want to tell us about the new battery? A．Its relation with nuclear plants. B．Its impact on greenhouse gases. C．Its mode of power generation. D．Its influence on electricity. 13．What does the author want to stress using numbers in paragraph 3? A．The kinds of radioactive sources. B．The battery’s tested power output. C．The size of the tested battery. D．The test sites of the battery. 14．What does Oksuz think of the newly-developed nuclear battery? A．It holds great promise. B．It is easily produced. C．It has potential risks. D．It is cheap to expand production. 15．What is the best title for the text? A．Nuclear Waste: a Fresh Problem B．Solar Cells: Transforming Light to Power C．Nuclear Power: Presenting Health Risks D．New Battery: Turning Waste to Treasure 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Below are what will have happened by the mid-point of this century-both for good and bad. Right now, people are focused on AI potentially causing job losses. 16 George Stakhov said, “By 2050, AI will have profoundly reshaped the world. It is very likely that there is a dark AI future where those who control AI will gain huge power, while 99 percent of the population will be deprived of their rights. The AI masters will control the world’s data and turn the rest of us into their slaves. 17 In that case, everyone benefits from AI through better healthcare, faster transport and less pollution.” Futurist and former Google engineer Ray Kurzweil says that people will have integrated with machines by 2025 and predicts that by 2045, people will have connected their brains to machines, integrating with the intelligence created. 18 19 That means we could be in contact with aliens. Shostak said that newer measurements suggest that there could be billions of Earth-like worlds. That may be the strongest argument for life in space. Rising humidity (湿度) and heat will lead to heatwaves where it is almost impossible for humans to survive in areas including South Asia and the Red Sea. 20 Humans can survive temperatures of up to 50 ℃ when humidity is low, but in high humidity, humans cannot survive because there is no way to cool down by sweating. Even extremely strong and fit people die within hours. Large areas of the Earth might be uninhabitable. A．The alternative is a bright AI prospect. B．However, the reality could be far worse. C．Actually, AI brings far more benefits than harm. D．This means that the Earth is the only place with life. E．By 2070, this will also be true in areas of Brazil and China.

This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident, but the families of the deceased said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Amish, a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. 注意： 1. 续写段落不少于150个词； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 参考词汇： the Internet keep in touch  social media health monitor Paragraph 1: On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.
