Unit 3 Times change! （时代变更） 阅读理解 [2025·浙江1月考] D 　　As new technologies take on increasingly humanlike qualities, there􀆳s been a push to make them genderless. “People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways,” says Ashley Martin, a Stanford associate professor of organizational behaviour. Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this. Yet as Martin has found in her work, gender is one of the fundamental ways people form connections with objects, particularly those designed with human characteristics. In her study, Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as “Miuu”. It was found that gender increased users􀆳 feelings of attachment to these devices and their interest in purchasing them. For example, participants said they would be less likely to buy a genderless voice assistant than versions with male or female voices. While gendering a product may be good marketing, it may also strengthen outdated or harmful ideas about power and identity. The stereotypes commonly associated with men, such as competitiveness and dominance, are more valued than those associated with women. These qualities, in turn, are mapped onto products that have been assigned a gender. Martin􀆳s study also found that creating a genderless object was difficult. For instance, if an object􀆳s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it—they would assume Miuu was a “he” or “she”. Martin sees a silver lining, however: she believes that anthropomorphism (拟人化) “provides an opportunity to change stereotypes”. When women are put into positions of leadership like running companies, it reduces negative stereotypes about women. Similarly, anthropomorphized products could be created to take on stereotype-inconsistent roles—a male robot that assists with nursing or a female robot that helps do calculations, for instance. (　)32.What is the purpose of making new technologies genderless? A.To reduce stereotypes. B.To meet public demand. C.To cut production costs. D.To encourage competition. (　)33.What were the participants probably asked to do in the study? A.Design a product. B.Respond to a survey. C.Work as assistants. D.Take a language test. (　)34.Why is it difficult to create genderless objects? A.They cannot be mass-produced. B.Naming them is a challenging task. C.People assume they are unreliable. D.Gender is rooted in people􀆳s mind. (　)35.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A.The quality of genderless products. B.The upside of gendering a product. C.The meaning of anthropomorphism. D.The stereotypes of men and women. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讨论了新技术在性别化和去性别化设计上的争议,尤其是性别化产品如何影响用户的情感和市场营销,同时探讨了拟人化设计如何改变对性别的刻板印象。 32.A　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“People are stereotyping (形成刻板印象) their gendered objects in very traditional ways”以及后文 “Removing gender from the picture altogether seems like a simple way to fix this” 可知，this明确指代前文 “人们用传统方式对有性别属性的物品形成刻板印象” 这一问题，而 “推动新技术实现无性别化” 的直接目的就是解决该问题，也就是减少性别刻板印象。因此,A选项“为了减少刻板印象。”是正确的。应选A。 33.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“…Martin asked participants to rate their attachment to male, female, and genderless versions of a digital voice assistant and a self-driving car known as ‘Miuu.’”可知,Martin在她的研究中让参与者对一款数字语音助手和名为“Miuu”的自动驾驶汽车的男性、女性和无性别版本的依恋程度进行评分。由此可推测,该项研究采用了调查法,参与者需要对相关的调查内容做出回应,故应选B项。 34.D　推理判断题。根据第四段中“…if an object􀆳s name was meant to sound genderless, like Miuu, participants would still assign a gender to it…”可知,尽管物品设计为无性别,参与者仍会不自觉地赋予它性别。由此可见,性别的认知深植人们心中,这使得创造无性别物品变得困难。故D选项“性别根植于人们的思维中。”最为准确。应选D项。 35.B　段落大意题。最后一段提到,拟人化给改变刻板印象提供了机会。比如,女性管理公司,就会改变对女性的刻板印象。那么拟人化的产品,如果设计为与刻板印象不一样的性别,比如男性机器人做女性经常做的工作,可以逐渐让人们改变对男女的刻板印象。因此B选项“将产品性别化的好处。”最符合该段的主旨。应选B项。 [2024·新课标Ⅱ卷] B Do you ever get to the train station and realize you forgot to bring something to read? Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed. Well, there􀆳s a kiosk(小亭) for that. In the San Francisco Bay Area, at least. “You enter the fare gates(检票口) and you􀆳ll see a kiosk that is lit up and it tells you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story,” says Alicia Trost, the chief communications officer for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit—known as BART. “You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.” It􀆳s that simple. Riders have printed nearly 20,000 short stories and poems since the programme was launched last March. Some are classic short stories, and some are new original works. Trost also wants to introduce local writers to local riders. “We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,” Trost says. “And as of right now, we􀆳ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.” Ridership on transit(交通) systems across the country has been down the past half century, so could short stories save transit? Trost thinks so. “At the end of the day all transit agencies right now are doing everything they can to improve the rider experience. So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,” she says. And you􀆳ll never be without something to read. (　)24.Why did BART start the kiosk programme? A.To promote the local culture. B.To discourage phone use. C.To meet passengers􀆳 needs. D.To reduce its running costs. (　)25.How are the stories categorized in the kiosk? A.By popularity. B.By length. C.By theme. D.By language. (　)26.What has Trost been doing recently? A.Organizing a story contest. B.Doing a survey of customers. C.Choosing a print publisher. D.Conducting interviews with artists. (　)27.What is Trost􀆳s opinion about BART􀆳s future? A.It will close down. B.Its profits will decline. C.It will expand nationwide. D.Its ridership will increase. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了旧金山湾区捷运系统(BART)推出了自助服务亭,提供短篇故事打印服务,旨在满足乘客的阅读需求,提升出行体验。Trost认为此举措能吸引更多乘客,对BART的未来持乐观态度,预期乘客量将会增长。 24.C　推理判断题。根据第一段中“Yes, we all have our phones, but many of us still like to go old school and read something printed.”可知,我们大多数人还是喜欢阅读纸质材料,所以BART启动自助服务亭是为了满足乘客在乘车过程中的阅读需求。故选C。 25.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“…you can get a one-minute, a three-minute, or a five-minute story…”和“You choose which length you want and it gives you a receipt-like short story.”可知,自助服务亭中的故事是根据长度来分类的。故选B。 26.A　细节理解题。根据第五段中“‘We wanted to do something where we do a call to artists in the Bay Area to submit stories for a contest,’ Trost says. ‘And as of right now, we􀆳ve received about 120 submissions. The winning stories would go into our kiosk and then you would be a published artist.’”可知,Trost最近在组织一个故事竞赛,向湾区的艺术家征集故事,获胜作品将被放入自助服务亭供乘客打印阅读。故选A。 27.D　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“‘…So I absolutely think we will get more riders just because of short stories,’ she says.”可知,Trost认为BART通过短篇故事可以吸引更多的乘客,即客流量将会增加。故选D。 [2024·浙江1月考] B When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call—not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more “young professional”. As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady􀆳s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived. As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that there are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turned into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection. For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn􀆳t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheesy love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I􀆳ve discovered some great books! If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly, no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me. (　)24.What does the word “it” underlined in the first paragraph refer to? A.The play. B.The shared house. C.The sofa. D.The telephone box. (　)25.Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006? A.To place an urgent call. B.To put up a notice. C.To shelter from the rain. D.To hold an audition. (　)26.What do we know about the “mini community library”? A.It provides phone service for free. B.Anyone can contribute to its collection. C.It is popular among young readers. D.Books must be returned within a month. (　)27.Why did the author start to use the “library”? A.He wanted to borrow some love stories. B.He was encouraged by a close neighbour. C.He found there were excellent free books. D.He thought it was an ideal place for reading. 【文章大意】 这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者家附近的最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你社区图书馆”的故事以及作者的感受。 24.B　代词指代题。根据第一段中的“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.”可知,此处是指使“我”的合租房看起来更“年轻专业”一点,所以it代指“合租房”。故选B。 25.A　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady􀆳s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.”可知,作者在2006年使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话。故选A。 26.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The last one standing has just been turned into a ‘mini community library’: any passer-by can ‘borrow’ a book from its shelves, and return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.”可知,任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”捐赠图书。故选B。 27.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I􀆳ve discovered some great books!”可知,作者发现“迷你社区图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书,所以开始使用。故选C。 [2021·全国乙卷] B When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline(座机)? These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone. In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime. Still, 55 per cent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones, according to a survey(调查).Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 per cent say they never use it while a further 13 per cent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category. More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor(因素)—only 58 per cent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 per cent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn't the only factor; I'd say it's also to do with the makeup of your household. Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it). How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries? (　　)24.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones? A.Their target users. B.Their wide popularity. C.Their major functions. D.Their complex design. (　　)25.What does the underlined word “concede” in Paragraph 3 mean? A.Admit. B.Argue. C.Remember. D.Remark. (　　)26.What can we say about Baby Boomers? A.They like smartphone games. B.They enjoy guessing callers' identity. C.They keep using landline phones. D.They are attached to their family. (　　)27.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph? A.It remains a family necessity. B.It will fall out of use some day. C.It may increase daily expenses. D.It is as important as the gas light. 【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。在智能手机日益发展、更新换代的时代,澳大利亚很多人的家里仍保留着座机。文章介绍了这一现象及其背后的原因。 24.B　细节理解题。根据第二段可知,如今在澳大利亚,你很难找到15岁以上却没有手机的人。事实上,很多年龄较小的孩子的口袋里都有一个。几乎每个人都可以在任何地方、任何时候接打电话。由此可知,这一段主要讲到手机在澳大利亚的普及性。故选B。 25.A　词义猜测题。结合上一段可知手机在澳大利亚已经普及,这一段指出但还是有很多家庭保留了座机,其中三分之一的人承认其实这也没有必要,保留座机只是为了安全起见,因此画线单词意为“承认”。故选A。 26.C　推理判断题。根据第四段中“…compared to 84 per cent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”可知,84% 出生于婴儿潮时期的人的家用电话号码保持了50年,由此可知,他们一直在使用座机。故选C。 27.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段“How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?”并结合上文内容可推知,随着时代的发展,总有一天座机会被淘汰。故选B。 语法填空 [2023·全国乙卷] 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Beijing is a city bridging the ancient and the modern.
