A
In recent times, with the emergence of electric cars, the concept of powering them with solar energy has also started picking up steam. Electric cars—even though they run on electricity and don’t use fossil(化石) fuels—are still NOT GREEN! People suffer from the misconception that not using fossil fuel means “green” which is kind of ridiculous, considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels!
However, what if your car had solar panels that could charge it? Now that would indeed be a green machine! Basically, as much as we would like to incorporate this energy source into our car, the efficiency of the currently used solar panels is subject to the fulfillment of different criteria.
Firstly, solar panels occupy a large amount of area. An average car has an area of 10-25 sq. ft. on the roof, which can generate between 50-150W under ideal conditions. This is hardly enough power to light a small bulb! Also, moderate sunny temperature needs to be ideal, as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the solar panels. Cars must work in all weather conditions, so if a solar panel limits the car’s functionality, it becomes practically useless. More importantly, the cost of the panels and development required to power the electronics using the sun’s energy outweighs the benefits that solar panels provide.
Most cars today that have solar roofs, use the solar energy to power only a few basic functions of the car. While there is still time before we will be able to drive cars fully powered by solar energy, there are some alternatives, such as solar power stations, which are being designed to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels for electricity.
Solar-powered vehicles are surely the future, but not the near future. As the cost of solar panels continues to fall and their efficiency increases, things will begin to look much “brighter” for this alternative and sustainable option!

If you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of the plants inside your house.
The Hexa Plant is a six-legged robot that has been specially made to care for the potted (盆栽的) plant that it carries on top of its head. Using light and heat sensors (传感器), the robot has the ability to carry its plant in and out of the daylight. If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.
The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”
According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.”
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.
9.What can we learn about the Hexa Plant?
A.It helps people plant some flowers. B.It waters the plants through dancing.
C.It helps indoor plants get proper sunlight. D.It carries the potted plant with its hands.
10.What does the author try to show in Paragraph 3?
A.The way plants spend their whole lives. B.The common way people deal with plants.
C.The difference between plants and humans. D.The cause of making the indoor plants’ helper.
11.What does Sun Tianqi try to do using this technology?
A.To develop gardening skills. B.To draw people’s attention to plants.
C.To make plants experience the move. D.To study the living conditions of plants.
12.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A New Market for Robots B.An Indoor Plants’ Helper
C.An Important Development in Gardening D.The Tendency of Gardening in the Future
D
Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective equipment mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two creators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world — hear. com.
Hear. com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids — the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices contain advanced technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a special way that has been clinically (临床地) proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.
But hear. com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the whole experience to make hearing care more available and more affordable.
“Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.”
“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust (适应) and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To make sure your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.”
And it’s working. Hear. com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speak for itself.
13.What does the underlined part “this ill repute” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Hearing aids being too expensive to afford.
B.Hearing aids ignoring the needs of the elderly.
C.Hearing aids developing at a really slow pace.
D.Hearing aids being poor in design and function.
14.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The popularity of hear. com’s hearing aids.
B.The improvement in hear. com’s hearing aids.
C.The images of hear. com’s hearing aids.
D.The effort hear. com has made to develop hearing aids.
15.What does the Hearing Success Program aim to do?
A.Add attractive features to hearing aids.
B.Help customers adjust to new hearing aids.
C.Find the possible causes for customers’ hearing loss.
D.Educate people about the results of hearing loss.

Are you tired of the endless search for parking when going out with your parents? 16
Three high school students, Sarada Koppana, Deepika Bhardwaj and Vani Mittal, developed “Telepark”, an app that makes finding parking in Boston faster and easier.
The idea came from their personal experiences. 17 Even though they could not drive yet, they were determined to find a solution.
So, they created Telepark, an all-in-one parking app. By using advanced algorithms (算法) and real-time traffic data, the app can guide users to the closest available parking meter in the area when they input their destination. In addition, the app will automatically change the route for users if the parking spot suddenly gets taken. 18 “You earn Telepark Points from our app, which can be used for free parking in the future,” explained Mittal. Using Boston’s traffic data, the students tested and improved their app based on the feedback they received to make it even better.
19 They had won $10,000 (about 72,000 yuan) in a local business plan competition by beating out several other groups from Boston-area high schools.
Looking ahead, the students are seeking more financial support to promote and launch their app by next fall. 20
A.Their hard work paid off.
B.When asked about their idea, their parents are proud of them.
C.Finding parking in Boston is frustrating and wastes so much time.
D.They’re working hard to make this app a reality for Boston drivers.
E.Take a close look at the following tips, and you will get out of the parking trouble.
F.The app doesn’t just help find parking but also rewards users for leaving spots early.
G.A group of high school students felt the same and decided to do something to change it.

Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer like yet we were already walking a long distance. Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated(偏僻的)area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet with a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
Paragraph 1:
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.

Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.”

【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了最近,随着电动汽车的出现,用太阳能为电动汽车提供动力的概念也开始升温。虽然离我们能够驾驶完全由太阳能驱动的汽车还有一段时间,但是太阳能汽车肯定是未来,但不是不远的将来。随着太阳能电池板成本的持续下降和效率的提高,太阳能汽车变得更加光明。
1.细节理解题。文章第一段讲到“People suffer from the misconception that not using fossil fuel means “green” which is kind of ridiculous, considering the electricity we use is generated by burning the very same fuels! (人们有一种误解,认为不使用化石燃料意味着“绿色”,这有点荒谬,因为我们使用的电力是通过燃烧相同的燃料产生的!)”可知,电动车不环保是因为它们靠燃烧燃料产生的电力运行。故选D。
2.推理判断题。文章第二段讲到“the efficiency of the currently used solar panels is subject to the fulfillment of different criteria.( 当前使用的太阳能电池板的效率取决于不同标准的满足。)”以及第三段讲到“Firstly, solar panels occupy a large amount of area (首先,太阳能电池板占据了很大的面积)”、“Also, moderate sunny temperature needs to be ideal, as extremely high temperatures can reduce the efficiency of the solar panels. (此外,适度的阳光温度需要是理想的,因为极高的温度会降低太阳能电池板的效率。)”和“More importantly, the cost of the panels and development required to power the electronics using the sun’s energy outweighs the benefits that solar panels provide.( 更重要的是,使用太阳能为电子设备供电所需的电池板和开发成本超过了太阳能电池板所提供的好处。)”可知,从第三段我们得知当前太阳能电池板的性能取决于各种因素。故选D。
3.推理判断题。文章倒数第二段讲到“Most cars today that have solar roofs, use the solar energy to power only a few basic functions of the car. While there is still time before we will be able to drive cars fully powered by solar energy, (今天大多数有太阳能车顶的汽车只使用太阳能为汽车的一些基本功能提供动力。虽然离我们能够驾驶完全由太阳能驱动的汽车还有一段时间)”可知,关于汽车工业中的太阳能,我们可以推断出部分由太阳能驱动的汽车已经上路。故选C。
4.主旨大意题。主要介绍了最近,随着电动汽车的出现,用太阳能为电动汽车提供动力的概念也开始升温。虽然离我们能够驾驶完全由太阳能驱动的汽车还有一段时间,但是太阳能汽车肯定是未来,但不是不远的将来。随着太阳能电池板成本的持续下降和效率的提高,太阳能汽车变得更加光明。文章最后一段讲到“Solar-powered vehicles are surely the future, but not the near future. As the cost of solar panels continues to fall and their efficiency increases, things will begin to look much “brighter” for this alternative and sustainable option! (太阳能汽车肯定是未来,但不是不远的将来。随着太阳能电池板成本的持续下降和效率的提高,这种替代性和可持续的选择将开始变得更加“光明”!)”可知,这篇文章主要是关于太阳能汽车的挑战和前景。故选C。
5.推理判断题。文章最后一段讲到“Solar-powered vehicles are surely the future, but not the near future. As the cost of solar panels continues to fall and their efficiency increases, things will begin to look much “brighter” for this alternative and sustainable option! (太阳能汽车肯定是未来,但不是不远的将来。随着太阳能电池板成本的持续下降和效率的提高,这种替代性和可持续的选择将开始变得更加“光明”!)”作者对太阳能汽车的态度是谨慎又乐观的。故选A。

If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light. The Hexa Plant will even do a little dance when it senses that the plant needs to be watered to warn its owner.
The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”
According to Sun Tianqi, for billions of years, plants have never experienced movement of any kind, not even the simplest movement. In their whole lives, they stick to where they were born. Sun Tianqi continued, “Do they want to break their own settings or have a tendency towards this? I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.”
The Hexa Plant model robots are not for sale, though Vincross does sell a Hexa robot model. It is said that in the near future the robots can open up a new market to watch over our household plants.

【答案】9.C 10.D 11.C 12.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了可以帮助照料室内植物的机器人,以及开发该款机器人的原因等相关内容。
9.细节理解题。根据第二段中“If the houseplant needs more sun, the Hexa will walk into the sunlight; if the houseplant is getting too hot, the Hexa will go back into the area that blocks direct light.(如果室内植物需要更多的阳光,Hexa就会走向阳光;如果室内植物变得太热,Hexa会回到阻挡直射光的区域)”可知,Hexa可以帮助室内植物获得适量的阳光。故选C。
10.主旨大意题。根据第三段“The robot was developed by the Vincross engineer and founder Sun Tianqi after he saw a dead sunflower sitting in the darkness in a room back in 2014. “Plants only receive an action without responding,” Sun Tianqi wrote in a blog post. “Whether they are being cut, bitten, burned or pulled from the earth, or when they haven’t received enough sunshine, water, or are too hot or cold, they will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.”( 2014年,Vincross公司的工程师兼创始人孙天奇在黑暗的房间里看到了一棵枯死的向日葵,随后开发了这款机器人。“植物只收到一个动作,没有回应,”孙天琪在一篇博客文章中写道。“不管它们是被割、被咬、被烧伤,还是被从地里拔出来,或者当它们没有得到足够的阳光、水,或者太热或太冷的时候,它们都会坚持下去,接受发生在它们身上的一切。”)”可推知,本段主要介绍开发照料室内植物的机器人的原因。故选D项。
11.细节理解题。根据第四段中“I do not know the answer, but I would love to try to share some of this human tendency and technology with plants. With the help of the robot, plants can experience the move.(我不知道答案,但我愿意尝试与植物分享一些人类的倾向和技术。在机器人的帮助下,植物可以体验到移动)”可知,孙天齐想用一些技术帮助室内植物体验“移动”。故选C。
12.主旨大意题。根据第一段“If you have ever been disappointed because you don’t have a good gardener, the clever robot may one day become the helper of the plants inside your house.(如果你曾经因为没有一个好的园丁而感到失望,那么有一天,这个聪明的机器人可能会成为你家里植物的帮手)”结合通读全文可知,本文主要介绍了可以帮助照料室内植物的机器人,以及开发该款机器人的原因等相关内容,故B项“室内植物助手”作为文章标题最为合适。故选B。
D
Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective equipment mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two creators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world — hear. com.
Hear. com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids — the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices contain advanced technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a special way that has been clinically (临床地) proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.
But hear. com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the whole experience to make hearing care more available and more affordable.
“Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.”
“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust (适应) and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To make sure your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.”
And it’s working. Hear. com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speak for itself.
13.What does the underlined part “this ill repute” in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Hearing aids being too expensive to afford.
B.Hearing aids ignoring the needs of the elderly.
C.Hearing aids developing at a really slow pace.
D.Hearing aids being poor in design and function.
14.What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A.The popularity of hear. com’s hearing aids.
B.The improvement in hear. com’s hearing aids.
C.The images of hear. com’s hearing aids.
D.The effort hear. com has made to develop hearing aids.
15.What does the Hearing Success Program aim to do?
A.Add attractive features to hearing aids.
B.Help customers adjust to new hearing aids.
C.Find the possible causes for customers’ hearing loss.
D.Educate people about the results of hearing loss.
【答案】13.D 14.B 15.B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Hear. com公司对助听器的改善。
13.词句猜测题。根据划线句子前一句“Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective equipment mainly worn by the elderly.”(助听器通常会让人想起主要由老年人佩戴的丑陋且无用的设备。)以及画线部分所在句子“But this ill repute is quickly changing”(但是这个坏名声正在迅速改变)可知,画线部分“这个坏名声”是指助听器设计不好看而且没有用,故选D。
14.主旨大意题。根据第二段“Hear. com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids — the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices contain advanced technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a special way that has been clinically (临床地) proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech.”(Hear. com公司多年的研究导致了两种扭转大局的助听器的发展——Silk和Styletto。这些令人印象深刻的设备包含了先进的设计技术,几乎是看不见的。它们还使用一种特殊的方式,临床证明,它们提供比正常更好的听力,所以你可以清楚地理解语言在任何环境。有了蓝牙和可充电等附加功能,今天的助听器正在吸引更年轻的技术熟练的客户。)可知,第二段主要讲述了Hear. com对助听器的改善,故选B。
15.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust (适应) and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To make sure your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.””(“我们用大脑听,而不是耳朵。我们的大脑需要至少30天的时间来调整和重新学习如何使用新的助听器再次听到声音。”Vietor博士说,“为了确保助听器的最佳效果,我们开发了行业首个30天项目——听力成功项目,这样顾客就有了额外的关心和知识来取得成功”)可知,“听力成功项目”的目的是为了帮助顾客适应新的助听器,故选B。

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
Are you tired of the endless search for parking when going out with your parents? 16
Three high school students, Sarada Koppana, Deepika Bhardwaj and Vani Mittal, developed “Telepark”, an app that makes finding parking in Boston faster and easier.
The idea came from their personal experiences. 17 Even though they could not drive yet, they were determined to find a solution.
So, they created Telepark, an all-in-one parking app. By using advanced algorithms (算法) and real-time traffic data, the app can guide users to the closest available parking meter in the area when they input their destination. In addition, the app will automatically change the route for users if the parking spot suddenly gets taken. 18 “You earn Telepark Points from our app, which can be used for free parking in the future,” explained Mittal. Using Boston’s traffic data, the students tested and improved their app based on the feedback they received to make it even better.
19 They had won $10,000 (about 72,000 yuan) in a local business plan competition by beating out several other groups from Boston-area high schools.
Looking ahead, the students are seeking more financial support to promote and launch their app by next fall. 20
A.Their hard work paid off.
B.When asked about their idea, their parents are proud of them.
C.Finding parking in Boston is frustrating and wastes so much time.
D.They’re working hard to make this app a reality for Boston drivers.
E.Take a close look at the following tips, and you will get out of the parking trouble.
F.The app doesn’t just help find parking but also rewards users for leaving spots early.
G.A group of high school students felt the same and decided to do something to change it.

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Deep in the forest, my husband and I had fun climbing over and crawling under the downed trees that blocked the dirt path before us. It was May, yet we walked up a snow-covered hill. When we noticed our jeans were wet up to our knees, it did not dampen our spirits Not once did we say, “Let’s turn around.” This was our vacation, and we were on an adventure. Little did we know this was the beginning of many more surprises.
The trail was marked as an easy one-kilometer like yet we were already walking a long distance. Our light-heartedness stopped when we came out into a clearing and saw a parking lot without our rental car in it. As my eyes scanned the surroundings, nothing looked familiar. My heart raced. I realized we were lost in a national park that did not officially open for another week.
Usually, I am the calm one in the relationship, but my husband surprised me with his calmness. This did not comfort me; in fact, it heightened my fear. As we walked, I asked my husband to call for help, but there was no cell-phone signal in this isolated(偏僻的)area.
It was awfully quiet except for our footsteps hitting the road, and my heavy breathing. My husband suggested we conserve energy and walk slower. With each step on the road, my feet and thighs hurt while my mind raced with thoughts about people who got lost in the Canadian woods for days.
My vision sharpened. I noticed everything around me: the trees, rocks and snow. I thought we could eat the snow on the ground in case we needed water. For the first time in my life, I was ready and willing to get a ride, but we did not meet with a single car on the road. Silently, I prayed multiple times. We focused on each other, made joint decisions and connected through gratitude. We managed to stay on the main road and walked straight on.
Paragraph 1:
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Paragraph 1
My husband suddenly spotted a small building on a hill in the distance. In no time we found ourselves heading for it. We were filled with hope and excitement to find such a building in the middle of nowhere. We climbed up the hill at a swinging pace as if all the pains were gone. As we approached, a sign came into sight, which read: Administration Office. However, it was not open for business. The empty hall made us nervous all at once. We stood there hopelessly, wondering what to do next.
Paragraph 2:
Just then, a friendly woman appeared, saying, “Hello.” I could barely hold back my enthusiasm and blurted out, “Were lost!” She comforted us and opened a room for us to take a break. Seeing we were cold and hungry, she treated us with hot chocolate. After studying the map, we figured out that our car was parked over three kilometers away. She offered us a ride back to our car and we accepted gladly. I felt relieved to see our rental car again. What a blessing to have such an unforgettable experience
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,作者和丈夫正深入森林深处探险,这时,他们注意到租的车看不见了,意识到在森林里迷路之后,作者变得非常紧张,但他们只能保持镇定,继续行走在主干道上,希望遇到过路的车辆或行人以便求助。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“就在这时,一位友善的女士出现了,她说:你好。”可知,第二段可描写作者和丈夫得到这位善良女士的帮助,最终找到租的车并脱险。
