Most schools invite seniors to help newcomers. But wouldn’t it be more fun if the campus guide was not a human but a drone (无人驾驶飞机)? Let’s welcome SkyCall. SkyCall has come into use recently. It was invented by and used in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Students of MIT describe their campus as “one of the most difficult mazes (迷宫)” in the world. That’s why it is important to have SkyCall to help students and visitors find their way around the campus. But how does it work? Actually, the answer is quite simple—the drone flies in front of you and leads the way. It is filled with a camera, WiFi, GPS navigation and sensors that allow it to find its way. Before using SkyCall, users have to download a SkyCall app, which can communicate the user’s exact positions to SkyCall. Once SkyCall gets the destination (目的地) from the app, and it will start guiding. Like any good tour guide, SkyCall will point out important classrooms or labs along the way. As soon as it completes its task, SkyCall will leave and come to help another lost person. As a new invention, SkyCall still has some disadvantages. It needs humans to help when it meets closed doors and it is not able to sense other flying objects. But researchers have confidence to perfect it in the near future. Maybe someday, SkyCall will step out of MIT and enter your school as well. Will you give it a try? 38. What does the underlined word “seniors” in the first paragraph mean? A. tourist B. boss C. student D. pilot 39. What do you know about SkyCall? A. It’s a kind of new phone. B. It was invented many years ago. C. It’s widely used in America. D. It’s used for guiding the way. 40. Why is SkyCall important for students of MIT? A. It helps them to make more friends. B. It makes them go to visit MIT more often. C. It makes them save time and energy and learn better. D. It helps them find the classrooms around the maze-like campus. 41. How does the SkyCall work? A. It flies in front of you and leads the way. B. It communicates to you your exact positions. C. It takes pictures and sends them to your phone. D. It maps the classrooms and labs you want to go to. 42. What do the researchers think of the SkyCall? A. It is perfect enough now. B. It still needs to get improved. C. It will work with other flying objects. D. It will help people when they meet closed doors. 【答案】38. C 39. D 40. D 41. A 42. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了麻省理工学院使用的一种新型校园导航工具——SkyCall无人机，包括其发明背景、工作原理、重要性以及存在的缺点和未来改进方向。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“Going to a new school might be hard—you not only have to make new friends, but also have to search for an unknown place that is usually large and totally strange to you. Most schools invite seniors to help newcomers.”可知，去新学校可能很难，你不仅要结交新朋友，还要在一个通常很大且对你来说完全陌生的地方摸索，大多数学校会邀请学生来帮助新生，由此可推测“seniors”指的是在学校里比较有经验的学生，来帮助新生，所以“seniors”意思是“student”。故选C。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But wouldn’t it be more fun if the campus guide was not a human but a drone (无人驾驶飞机)? Let’s welcome SkyCall.”以及“That’s why it is important to have SkyCall to help students and visitors find their way around the campus.”可知，SkyCall是一种用于引导道路的无人机。故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Students of MIT describe their campus as ‘one of the most difficult mazes (迷宫)’ in the world. That’s why it is important to have SkyCall to help students and visitors find their way around the campus.”可知，麻省理工学院的学生把他们的校园描述为“世界上最难走的迷宫之一”，所以SkyCall对他们来说很重要是因为它能帮助他们在迷宫般的校园里找到教室。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“But how does it work? Actually the answer is quite simple—the drone flies in front of you and leads the way.”可知，SkyCall的工作方式是在你前面飞并为你引路。故选A。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As a new invention, SkyCall still has some disadvantages.

It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration. The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion.

Why do people wear masks? The reasons are to protect their body, to hide themselves, or for amusement. In fact, masks are used all over the world. African masks are usually made in a traditional style. There are many different kinds of African masks. But many of them represent animals. African masks are a part of full-body costumes and they are made for dancers. The dancers usually wear the masks in religious events. Japanese masks have been used in many different performances such as dance, theater, festivals or religious events. They represent heroes, devils, ghosts, or some animals in the performances. Most of them are made of clay, cloth, wood, or paper. Greek masks are used to represent the spirits of nature during religious events. Also, theater actors use masks to show different characters. In Rome, devils and other masks are used in carnivals (节日). Today, masks continue to be of great artistic and entertaining (娱乐性的) value. 33. What do most African masks represent? A. Humans. B. Animals. C. Plants. D. Stones. 34. What materials are used to make Japanese masks? A. Water and sand. B. Food and paper. C. Clay and cloth. D. Metal and glass. 35.

Most schools invite seniors to help newcomers. But wouldn’t it be more fun if the campus guide was not a human but a drone (无人驾驶飞机)? Let’s welcome SkyCall. SkyCall has come into use recently. It was invented by and used in Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Students of MIT describe their campus as “one of the most difficult mazes (迷宫)” in the world. That’s why it is important to have SkyCall to help students and visitors find their way around the campus. But how does it work? Actually, the answer is quite simple—the drone flies in front of you and leads the way. It is filled with a camera, WiFi, GPS navigation and sensors that allow it to find its way. Before using SkyCall, users have to download a SkyCall app, which can communicate the user’s exact positions to SkyCall. Once SkyCall gets the destination (目的地) from the app, and it will start guiding. Like any good tour guide, SkyCall will point out important classrooms or labs along the way. As soon as it completes its task, SkyCall will leave and come to help another lost person. As a new invention, SkyCall still has some disadvantages. It needs humans to help when it meets closed doors and it is not able to sense other flying objects. But researchers have confidence to perfect it in the near future. Maybe someday, SkyCall will step out of MIT and enter your school as well. Will you give it a try? 38. What does the underlined word “seniors” in the first paragraph mean? A. tourist B. boss C. student D. pilot 39. What do you know about SkyCall? A. It’s a kind of new phone. B. It was invented many years ago. C. It’s widely used in America. D. It’s used for guiding the way. 40. Why is SkyCall important for students of MIT? A. It helps them to make more friends. B. It makes them go to visit MIT more often. C. It makes them save time and energy and learn better. D. It helps them find the classrooms around the maze-like campus. 41. How does the SkyCall work? A. It flies in front of you and leads the way. B. It communicates to you your exact positions. C. It takes pictures and sends them to your phone. D. It maps the classrooms and labs you want to go to. 42. What do the researchers think of the SkyCall? A. It is perfect enough now. B. It still needs to get improved. C. It will work with other flying objects. D. It will help people when they meet closed doors.

Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟)”, wrote Su Shi, a poet during the Song Dynasty, in his well-known poem to his younger brother Su Zhe. The moon is at its brightest on the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar. On this day, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It has been enjoying great popularity all over the country. In ancient China, that day was a harvest (收获) festival because crops (庄稼) were harvested during that period. It was a time for relaxation and celebration. Just like Thanksgiving in Western countries, families also try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy they are, people will try to return home for the celebration. The Mid-Autumn Festival has its own special food just as other traditional Chinese holidays. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs. The round shape of the cake makes it look like the full moon. The full moon and moon cakes stand for family reunion. With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat moon cakes and fruit, share the stories, and express the best wishes for the family members and friends who live afar. 58.
