译文
第一部手机是在五十年前发明的。制造那部手机的Martin Cooper,现在已经94岁了。他被称为“手机之父”。
20世纪70年代初,Cooper就职于美国技术公司摩托罗拉。当时,摩托罗拉和其他公司在竞争创造手机。1973年4月3日,Cooper在纽约市用手持电话拨打了第一个公开电话。该设备名为Dyna-TAC,重约1公斤,长28厘米。
他和他在摩托罗拉的团队用五个多月的时间研发这款手机。他们只能用它通话25分钟左右。Cooper指出,这样的通话时间不是问题,因为这款手机非常重,以至于你不能把它拿着坚持25 分钟。Cooper 说:“我担心的唯一问题是手机能否起作用,而它确实起作用了。当时,我们没有办法知道,这在历史上是重要的一刻。”
今天,手机让我们可以做很多事情。Cooper 说,手机肯定会持续发展到未来很长一段时间。他认为未来的手机会时刻监测我们的健康状况,电池甚至会被人类的能量所取代。他认为,有一天,我们的手机可能会成为我们耳朵里的小装置。
Cooper表达了他的担忧。Cooper说:“我们不再有隐私,这是因为一切都被记录在某个地方。”然而,他满怀希望地说,手机将继续以能够极大地帮助人类的方式发展。
Passage 2
Dillon is now an 11-year-old boy in England. One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen(肿胀的).In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn't even wear socks or trousers. For more than a year, he spent the night screaming(尖叫) in pain, even asking his family to have his leg cut off.
He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful. Finally,they discovered Dillon had a rare condition(罕见疾病)called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(CRPS,复杂性区域疼痛综合征),one of the most painful illnesses in the world.Melanie, Dillon's mother,began searching for treatment for Dillon's illness. But she quickly discovered there weren't many choices in the UK.
That's when Melanie discovered a new machine called the VECTTOR machine for treating pain like Dillon's.The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston, Texas. Melanie couldn't book the plane tickets any faster.Before long, Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston. The results were great.After just one session(疗程),Dillon's pain eased and he was able to put a little weight on his leg. He felt better and could even put on socks, trousers, and shoes for the first time in a year.
Melanie bought a VECTTOR machine for$5,333 and brought it back home to England. Dillon now uses it for 40 minutes every day,twice a day.Dillon's whole family is healing(恢复常态)after their year-long trouble.They're hopeful that his condition continues to lessen with time. For now, they're celebrating the moments they very nearly missed out on experiencing, like Dillon's first day of high school!
These are the stories that scientists dream of hearing!It's great what they can do with technology today. And it's beautiful to see it being used to create real-life“wonders"for families like Dillon's.

长难句解析
原句:(第二段第一句)He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful.
译文:他做了一次又一次的检查,但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿如此疼痛。
分析:这是一个由but连接的并列复合句。在第二个分句中,what was making his leg so painful是what引导的宾语从句,作find out的宾语。
译文
Dillon现在是英国的一个11岁男孩。2021年11月的一天,他醒来时疼痛万分,他的右腿肿了。事实上,他的腿疼得如此厉害以至于他连袜子或裤子都穿不了。在一年多的时间里,他整夜都在痛苦地尖叫,甚至要求家人把他的腿切掉。
他做了一次又一次的检查,但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿这么疼痛。最后,他们发现Dillon患有一种罕见的疾病,叫做复杂区域疼痛综合症,是世界上最痛苦的疾病之一。Dillon的母亲Melanie开始为Dillon的疾病寻找治疗方法,但她很快发现在英国没有较多的能治疗该病的办法。
这时,Melanie发现了一种名为VECTTOR的新机器,用于治疗像Dillon这种疾病的疼痛。唯一的麻烦是,这些机器只在得克萨斯州的休斯敦买得到。Melanie立刻订了机票。不久之后,Dillon就见到了疼痛管理专家,并在休斯敦试用了VECTTOR机器。结果很好,仅仅一个疗程后,Dillon的疼痛就得到了缓解,他的腿能够承受一点重量。他感觉好多了,这是一年来的第一次可以穿上袜子、裤子和鞋子。
Melanie 花了 5333 美元买了一台 VECTTOR 机器,并把它带回了英国的家中。Dillon现在每天使用它40分钟,一天两次。Dillon一家在经历了一年多的麻烦后正在慢慢变好。他们希望随着时间的推移,Dillon的病情会继续减轻。现在,他们正在庆祝他们差点错过的时刻——Dillon中学开学的第一天!
这是科学家们梦寐以求听到的故事!他们现在能用科技做的事情真是太棒了。看到它被用来为像Dillon家这样的家庭创造真实的“奇迹”,这很美好。

长难句解析
原句:(第四段第一句)Yet,in 2015.she found out Beitang Primary School was going to be closed because it was short of teachers.
译文:然而,在2015年,她发现北塘小学由于缺乏师资而濒临关闭。
分析:这是一个复合句。Beitang Primary School...was short of teachers 是省略了引导词that的宾语从句,作found out 的宾语;在该宾语从句中,because it was short of teachers是because引导的原因状语从句。
译文
乡村教师程风一直在努力为江西省鄱阳县一个社区的学生提供最好的教育。2011年程风大学毕业后,成为鄱阳县土塘小学的一名教师。学校就在她家附近,但她选择住在学校里。
程风说:“我想在白天有更多时间和学生待在一起,而且晚上我可以更好地备课和学习。”在接下来的四年里,她的工作干得非常好。
然而,在2015年,她发现北塘小学由于缺乏师资而濒临关闭。她决定去那里工作。虽然她做好了准备,但当看到“新”学校时,她还是感到震惊。北塘小学真的是什么都没有,只有一栋楼。
她拿着登记表在教室里等了一整天,但没有一位家长或孩子出现。她没有浪费时间,在接下来的几天里,她走访了该地区所有学龄儿童的家。她了解到,由于教育条件差,当地的家长都把孩子送到了更远的学校。
程风劝说17名学生返回。她号召大学同学们来帮忙,很快,三名志愿者加入了程风的行列。在困难的初始阶段,程风的父母帮助打扫卫生,她的丈夫帮助安装设备。为了给学生们提供更好的学习体验,程风还自费为学校购买了电脑等设备。

【答案与解析】
手机于50年前诞生,你知道谁是第一个用手机打电话的人吗?他就是被称为“手机之父”的Martin Cooper,当时他在摩托罗拉工作。
1.A 根据空前两句可知,第一部手机是Cooper造的,故他被称为“手机之父”。
2.C 根据上一句中的“Cooper worked for American technology company Motorola"可知,摩托罗拉是Cooper就职的公司,故此处指这家公司和其他公司在竞争制造手机。
3.D 根据语境可知,此处指1973年4月3日,Cooper在纽约市用手持电话拨打了第一个公开电话。
4.B 根据第一段的内容可知,第一部手机是Cooper造的,故此处指他和他在摩托罗拉的团队用5个多月的时间研发出这款手机。develop意为“研发;开发”。
5.A根据空后的“on it for about 25 minutes”可知,此处指第一部手机的通话时间只能维持25分钟。6空前的such a call time 也是提示信息。
6.D 根据空后的because 和下文中的“you couldn't hold it up for 25 minutes”可知,你不能拿着这个手机25分钟,且下一句中提到了他所担心的问题并不是通话时长,故他认为这样的通话时长并不是问题。
7.B 根据上一段最后一句中的 weighed about 1kilogram 及空后的“that you couldn't hold it up for 25 minutes”可知,手机重约1千克,所以此处指手机太重了以至于你不能把它举起来坚持25分钟。
8.C 根据语境及下一句“And it did.”可知,他担心的唯一一个问题是手机能否起作用。work意为“起作用”。
9.C 根据上文可知,这是用第一部手机打通的电话,所以这在历史上是很重要的一刻。
10.A下文提到他预测了未来手机的功能,故此处指他认为手机还会继续发展。
11. B 他认为未来的手机会时刻监测我们的健康状况。monitor意为“监测;监控”。
12.D 根据生活常识可知,电池是现在手机的能量来源,由此可推知,他认为未来的手机电池甚至会被人类的能量所取代。
13.A 根据下一句中的“We don't have any privacy anymore”可知,我们不再有隐私,故此处指Cooper还表达了他的担忧。
14. D 根据空前的“We don't have any privacy anymore”可知,我们不再有隐私。故此处指这是因为一切都被记录下来了。
15.C 根据空后的“cellphones will continue to develop in ways that can greatly help humans"可知,Cooper说手机将继续以能够极大地帮助人类的方式发展,这表明他对手机的未来充满希望。

One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen(肿胀的).In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn't even wear socks or trousers. For more than a year, he spent the night screaming(尖叫) in pain, even asking his family to have his leg cut off.
He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful. Finally,they discovered Dillon had a rare condition(罕见疾病)called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome(CRPS,复杂性区域疼痛综合征),one of the most painful illnesses in the world.Melanie, Dillon's mother,began searching for treatment for Dillon's illness. But she quickly discovered there weren't many choices in the UK.
That's when Melanie discovered a new machine called the VECTTOR machine for treating pain like Dillon's.The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston, Texas. Melanie couldn't book the plane tickets any faster.Before long, Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston. The results were great.After just one session(疗程),Dillon's pain eased and he was able to put a little weight on his leg. He felt better and could even put on socks, trousers, and shoes for the first time in a year.
Melanie bought a VECTTOR machine for$5,333 and brought it back home to England. Dillon now uses it for 40 minutes every day,twice a day.Dillon's whole family is healing(恢复常态)after their year-long trouble.They're hopeful that his condition continues to lessen with time. For now, they're celebrating the moments they very nearly missed out on experiencing, like Dillon's first day of high school!
These are the stories that scientists dream of hearing!It's great what they can do with technology today. And it's beautiful to see it being used to create real-life“wonders"for families like Dillon's.

长难句解析
原句:(第二段第一句)He went through test after test, but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful.
译文:他做了一次又一次的检查,但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿如此疼痛。
分析:这是一个由but连接的并列复合句。在第二个分句中,what was making his leg so painful是what引导的宾语从句,作find out的宾语。
【答案与解析】
11岁的英国男孩Dillon罹患一种罕见疾病——复杂性区域疼痛综合征,这导致他右腿疼痛无比。在英国多方求医无果后,他的妈妈带他去了美国得克萨斯州。一种名叫VECTTOR的治疗机器最终帮助他“重获新生”。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One day in November 2021, he woke up in great pain and his right leg was swollen. In fact, his leg hurt so much that he couldn't even wear socks or trousers.”可知,2021年11月的一天,Dillon醒来时疼痛万分,他的右腿肿了。事实上,他的腿疼得如此厉害以至于他连袜子或裤子都穿不了。由此可知,2021年11月的一天,Dillon 的右腿突然疼了起来。
2.B细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“He went through test after test.but no doctor could find out what was making his leg so painful."可知,Dillon做了一次又一次的检查,但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿如此疼痛。由此可知,医生最初不确定是什么导致了Dillon的疼痛。
3.A 句意理解题。根据画线句上一句“The only trouble was that the machines were only available in Houston. Texas.”可知,这些机器只在得克萨斯州的休斯敦可购得;再根据画线句下一句“Before long. Dillon met with pain management experts and tried the VECTTOR machine in Houston.”可知.不久之后,Dillon就见到了疼痛管理专家,并在休斯敦试用了VECTTOR机器。结合全文语境和常识可推知,Dillon 的妈妈应该是立刻订了去休斯敦的机票,故A项符合题意。
4. A推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“For now, they're celebrating the moments they very nearly missed out on experiencing. like Dillon's first day of high school!”可知,现在他们正在庆祝他们几乎错过的时刻——例如 Dillon 中学开学的第一天。由此可推知,Dillon 已经开始了他的中学生活。
5.C推理判断题。通读全文可知,一种名叫VECTTOR的治疗机器最终帮助 Dillon“重获新生”;再根据文章最后一段中的“It's great what they can do with technology today.”可推知,通过Dillon的故事,作者想要告诉我们:科技让我们的生活更加美好。
译文
Dillon现在是英国的一个11岁男孩。2021年11月的一天,他醒来时疼痛万分,他的右腿肿了。事实上,他的腿疼得如此厉害以至于他连袜子或裤子都穿不了。在一年多的时间里,他整夜都在痛苦地尖叫,甚至要求家人把他的腿切掉。
他做了一次又一次的检查,但没有医生能找出是什么让他的腿这么疼痛。最后,他们发现Dillon患有一种罕见的疾病,叫做复杂区域疼痛综合症,是世界上最痛苦的疾病之一。Dillon的母亲Melanie开始为Dillon的疾病寻找治疗方法,但她很快发现在英国没有较多的能治疗该病的办法。
这时,Melanie发现了一种名为VECTTOR的新机器,用于治疗像Dillon这种疾病的疼痛。唯一的麻烦是,这些机器只在得克萨斯州的休斯敦买得到。Melanie立刻订了机票。不久之后,Dillon就见到了疼痛管理专家,并在休斯敦试用了VECTTOR机器。结果很好,仅仅一个疗程后,Dillon的疼痛就得到了缓解,他的腿能够承受一点重量。他感觉好多了,这是一年来的第一次可以穿上袜子、裤子和鞋子。
Melanie 花了 5333 美元买了一台 VECTTOR 机器,并把它带回了英国的家中。Dillon现在每天使用它40分钟,一天两次。Dillon一家在经历了一年多的麻烦后正在慢慢变好。他们希望随着时间的推移,Dillon的病情会继续减轻。现在,他们正在庆祝他们差点错过的时刻——Dillon中学开学的第一天!
这是科学家们梦寐以求听到的故事!他们现在能用科技做的事情真是太棒了。看到它被用来为像Dillon家这样的家庭创造真实的“奇迹”,这很美好。

长难句解析
原句:(第四段第一句)Yet,in 2015.she found out Beitang Primary School was going to be closed because it was short of teachers.
译文:然而,在2015年,她发现北塘小学由于缺乏师资而濒临关闭。
分析:这是一个复合句。Beitang Primary School...was short of teachers 是省略了引导词that的宾语从句,作found out 的宾语;在该宾语从句中,because it was short of teachers是because引导的原因状语从句。
