第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(标语篇配有教师讲评课件)
(一)阅读理解
A
What if we had the power to control time, instead of moving from the past to the present to the future? What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased?
This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past.We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting.
The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years.Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories.Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math.This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true.
The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing.He called it “spacetime”.Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth.A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension.
Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel.The first is relativity.The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist.The second idea focuses on special relativity.The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future.Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on the earth or in space.
The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P.Mitchell, which was published in 1881.Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward.
Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? The most important thing is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder.

Nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention (留住), improved productivity and a higher quality of care. The research has important implications for the workplace and the long-term care industry.
Yong Suk Lee, associate professor of technology, economy and global affairs, was the lead author for the study. “Our research focused on Japan because it is a super-aging society that provides a good example of what the future could involve elsewhere — a declining population, a growing share of senior citizens and a declining share of working-age people,” Lee said. “We need to be ready for this new reality.”
In a future where there are more senior citizens requiring care, using robots in a targeted fashion could benefit workers and patients alike, Lee said. The study analyzed three types of robots that are increasingly used in assisted living facilities. These include transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms; mobility robots, which patients use to move around and to bathe; and monitoring and communication robots, which include technologies such as computer vision and bed sensors that can record and examine patient data such as movement and share it with care providers.
“We found that robot adoption aids care workers by reducing quit rates. This is important because employee turnover is a big concern in nursing homes. Workers typically experience a great deal of physical pain, particularly in their knees and back. The work is hard and the pay is low. So robot use was associated with employee retention,” Lee said. “Robots can improve productivity by shifting the tasks performed by care workers to those involving human touch, empathy and flexibility. Ultimately, robots can help workers provide a higher level of patient care.”
“This research provides critical insights into how societies can successfully navigate the challenges of caring for aging populations,” Lee said.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。全文围绕护理机器人如何通过提升员工留存率和患者护理质量来应对老龄化社会展开,重点强调其在这两方面的积极影响。

B.It has a sound foundation for robot nursing.
C.Its super-aging society well reflects the trend.
D.It owns the most advanced robots in the world.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Our research focused on Japan ...declining share of working-age people,’ Lee said.”可知,Yong Suk Lee将研究集中在日本是因为其超老龄化社会很好地反映了未来社会的发展趋势。故选C。
6.What does the underlined word “rotate” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Treat. B.Examine.
C.Monitor. D.Reposition.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第三段“transfer robots, which nurses use to lift, move and rotate patients in beds and around rooms” 可知,“rotate”与“lift (抬起)”“move (移动)”并列,且与病人在病床及房间周围的动作相关,结合选项,可推测“rotate” 意思为“转动;改变位置”。故选D。
7.Why does robot adoption reduce workers' quit rates?
A.It solves the issue of low pay.
B.It eases their heavy working burden.
C.It offers a good working environment.
D.It helps to treat their occupational injuries.
