Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 36. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By giving a report. C. By giving advice. D. By telling a story. 37. Which one of the following is NOT true? A. If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control. B. 3D printing won’t change the way we make things. C. A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D. Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 38. What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident? A. It might help people fly to the sky. B. It might help people make models. C. It might help people walk again. D. It might help people save money. 39. What would be the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=② Paragraph3=③ Paragraph4=④ Paragraph5=⑤) A. B. C. D. 40. What is the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Traffic. B. Machines. C. Clothes. D. Technology. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. C 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了面向未来世界的一些新技术以及这些技术的优缺点。 【36题详解】 推理判断题。根据“What will the world of tomorrow be like?”可知，文章是以提问题的方式引出话题，展开论述的。 故选A。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people.”可知，3D打印技术会改变我们创造事物的方式，以及我们治疗病人的方式。因此选项B“3D打印不会改变我们创造事物的方式。”表述有误。故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident.”可知，机器人套装可以帮助人们在疾病或事故后再次行走。故选C。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，文章第一段是提出观点；接着3段分别介绍三项新技术的优缺点；最后一段总结，是总——分——总结构。故选C。 【40题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“No technology is perfect.

But how safe is it when you use the Internet? Our magazine Interactions asked some Internet users about their experiences. Linda, 29, nurse: I pay all my bills online. One day, I received an email from my bank. It told me that someone was trying to take out money from my account (账号), so I should email my password (密码) to the “bank manager”. I felt something was wrong, so I called my bank and asked about the email. The bank said they never sent it. I realised that someone tried to cheat (欺骗) me of my money. I’ll continue paying my bills this way, but I’ll be more careful. Emily, 22, office worker: I was at work, and I sent an email to a friend of mine. I was telling her about my problems with Mark, the manager. A few minutes later, a friend of Mark’s came over to my desk. He said, “So you think Mark is too strict?” My face was red. I chose the wrong name on my address list. It was my own fault, so I’ll look over my emails more carefully before I click “Send” next time. Thomas, 21, university student: I love the Internet! I look up lots of information online. I often buy things on the websites—furniture, clothes, CDs, even foods. I have also sold some of my things on the Internet.

B On July 30, 2024, the table tennis mixed doubles final of the Paris Olympics was held with great excitement. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha, known as the “Shatou” pair, faced the dark horse pair from North Korea, Lee Jeong-sik and Kim Geum-yeong. At the beginning of the game, the North Korean pair showed strong attacking power. Lee Jeong-sik’s forehand attack was sharp and tricky. Kim Geum-yeong’s backhand long pimpled rubber style was unique (独特的), and the rhythm and spin of her returns posed challenges to the “Shatou” pair. But the “Shatou” pair remained calm. Wang Chuqin’s backhand flick was very powerful, and Sun Yingsha’s advantages in the first three strokes were obvious. The scores of both sides rose alternately (交替地) and the game was extremely close. At the critical moment, the “Shatou” pair, with the tacit understanding formed through long-term training, solid technical skills and strong psychological quality, dared to play and fight. Finally, with the scores of 11-6, 7-11, 11-8, 11-5, 7-11, 11-8, they won 4:2 and won the gold medal. This victory was not easy. It fully demonstrated the fighting spirit and excellent skills of the “Shatou” pair, and also won honor for the Chinese table tennis team at this Olympics. Their excellent performance makes Chinese people proud. It is believed that they will create more glories in the future. 26. Who did Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha face in the final? A. A pair from Japan. B. A pair from South Korea. C. A pair from North Korea. D. A pair from the United States. 27. What was unique about Kim Geum-yeong’s playing style? A. Her forehand attack. B.

They argued with each other. 30. What can we know from the passage? A. The game was not exciting. B. The “Shatou” pair won easily. C. The North Korean pair played very badly. D. The “Shatou” pair’s victory was not easy. C As a country powerful in math, China has many folk games full of math wisdom (智慧). You may play many of them before. Let’s take a look at three of them. Chinese nine linked rings puzzle It’s believed that the nine linked rings puzzle was created in the Western Han Dynasty. And it is usually made up of nine rings connected to a handle (手柄). Players have to remove (移除) all the rings from the handle to win the game. This is not a simple game. The solution takes 341 moves, so lots of patience is required. But if you learn to solve it, it’s hard to forget. Tangram First popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the tangram is a puzzle made up of seven pieces of different shapes. For each puzzle, players need to use all the pieces to make a shape. To do it, they have to know about geometry (几何学). In the 18th century, the tangram was brought to the West and soon became popular there. Luban lock The Luban lock was first created by Lu Ban 2,000 years ago. The lock has a lot to do with solid geometry (立体几何). It’s hard to separate the six pieces. However, it is usually easier to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together. Now, there are Luban locks made up of nine or more pieces. 31. Which of the following subjects do the three folk games have to do with? A. English. B. Music. C. Math. D. Chemistry. 32. _________ is first popular in the Ming and Qing dynasties. A. Tangram B. Luban lock C. Chinese nine linked rings puzzle D. Nine-square Grid 33. From the passage we can learn that _________. A. there are Luban locks made up of only six pieces now B. the tangram was brought to the West in the 19th century C. it is usually more difficult to unlock a Luban lock than to put it back together D. players have to remove nine rings from the handle to win the nine linked rings puzzle 34. Where can you probably read the passage? A. In a story book. B. In a science book. C. In a travel magazine. D. In a sports magazine. 35. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _________. A. explain the ways to learn math B. share his skills of playing folk games C. tell us the importance of learning math well D. introduce folk games with math wisdom in China D What will the world of tomorrow be like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some problems we have today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones. No technology is perfect. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Here are three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the sky in our own flying cars. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, if too many flying cars are in the air, there will be trouble with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life-size models of car parts (部件), and man-made body parts, like ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally people are trying to make a robot suit (套装). This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is the cost. It is easy to imagine a future. We will be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s life easier and safer, and it can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 36. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking a question. B. By giving a report. C. By giving advice. D. By telling a story. 37. Which one of the following is NOT true? A. If too many flying cars are in the air, there will be problems with traffic control. B. 3D printing won’t change the way we make things. C. A robot suit costs too much at the moment. D. Technology can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 38. What might the robot suit help people do after an illness or an accident? A. It might help people fly to the sky. B. It might help people make models. C. It might help people walk again. D. It might help people save money. 39. What would be the best structure (结构) of this passage? (Paragraph1=① Paragraph2=② Paragraph3=③ Paragraph4=④ Paragraph5=⑤) A. B. C. D. 40. What is the theme (主题) of the passage? A. Traffic. B. Machines. C. Clothes. D. Technology. 四、短文还原(共5小题，计5分) 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Five Tips to Improve Your Memory Most of us know that our brains become smaller in size as we get older, but did you know that diet and lifestyle have an effect on how well our brains work?
