W: Hello, everyone. ⑳In today’s program, I’d like to share a true story of mine. One day, my friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. ⑰When it became lighter, I
decided to walk to get my car and go home. It was parked only three blocks away. ⑱My friends argued I shouldn’t go because at that time, I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I’d be careful. ⑰One of them wanted to come with me, but I insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. ⑲When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi stopped beside me and a passenger offered to give me a hand. She said she would walk with me to where I would go.
I refused, but she insisted. During our walk, she took me by the arm and kept telling me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked her, and we parted ways. I did not get her name and may not even recognize her now. Did she purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.

(2019·唐山高一检测) I’m a student in my fourth year of a medical science degree at Robert Gordon University, but I also work 38 hours a week at Sainsbury’s. I work three times a week, one more if I can manage it. The work I do at Sainsbury’s is very physical—bringing new products out onto the shop floor.
I have two reasons to work for all my living costs. First, I have no right
to get a student loan(贷款)because I was not born in Britain. Besides, my parents, who work in market research, can’t afford my school fees.
On Monday I busy myself with work as well as study. I work from 10 p. m. until 8 a. m. on Saturday and Sunday nights, and then I have to be at my first lecture at 9 a. m. on Monday. I finish lectures at 2 p. m, and I have to be back at work by 10 p. m.
It isn’t the best situation to be in, but I have to make full use of it. I would also like to have more time to study so I can be excellent at my course. Although I have a lot on my plate, a situation where I don’t have much time to meet friends because of my job and study, I don’t complain. And I always remember my parents tell me the importance of working hard for what I want in life.
My dream is to take a further degree next year and then get a job at National Health Service (NHS) so I will no longer worry about money and have more free time. That is what I look forward to most.

(2019·哈尔滨高一检测) Modern day robots may not be as entertaining as R2D2 or the robot from Lost in Space, but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons. Robots make great explorers on planets, moons, and other landing areas. Aside from the earth, just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment. The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand. Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have much less limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.
Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasks at one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientific projects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, and finding water are all performed much quicker and accurately by robots.
The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that
can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.
Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 介绍了机器人对太空探索非常重要, 机器人正用于太空探索。

24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Development of Robots
B. The Discovery of Space Exploration
C. No Robots, No Space Exploration
D. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration
【解析】选D。

主旨大意题。

根据第一段中的“but robots are very important to space exploration and are being used in a variety of different ways for several important reasons. ”可知, 本文主要介绍了机器人正用于太空探索, 故D项正确。

25. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.
B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.
C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.
D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully. 【解析】选A。

细节理解题。

根据倒数第二段中的“The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would cost for humans to do the work. ”可知, 用机器人进行太空探索比人类从事这项工作花费更少。

26. The underlined word “withstand” in Paragraph 2 most probably means “______”.
A. remain
B. bear
C. defeat
D. develop
【解析】选B。

词义猜测题。

根据划线词前的“The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to”可知, 温度太高或太低, 人类无法忍受, 由此可知划线词词义为“忍受”。

27. What is the writer’s attitude in this passage?
A. Negative.
B. Persuasive.
C. Subjective.
D. Objective.
【解析】选D。

观点态度题。

纵观全文可知, 作者只是客观地介绍了机器人在太空探索中的应用, 并没有带任何感情色彩。

【方法技巧】科普说明文的词义猜测题难度较大, 对划线词所在句的
理解是关键, 要紧紧抓住划线词前后的词语, 例如第26题, 根据划线词前的“much too hot or much too cold”可知, 当温度太高或太低时, 人类无法忍受, 由此可知划线词词义为“忍受”。

(2019·大庆高一检测) Every time your fingers touch your cell phone, they leave behind trace of amounts of chemicals. And each chemical offers clues to you and your activities. By studying them, scientists might be able to piece together a story about your recent life, a new study finds.
A molecule (分子) is a group of atoms. It represents the smallest amount of some chemicals. Your skin is covered in molecules picked up by everything you touched. With each new thing your skin contacts, you leave behind some small share of what it’d touched earlier.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) recently studied such chemical leftovers on the phones of 39 volunteers. The study was led by biochemist Amina Bouslimani. To explore those residues (剩余物), the UCSD team wiped the surface of each volunteer’s phone with a cotton swab (药签). The scientists also swabbed each person’s right hand. Then the researchers compared the chemicals found on each cell phone. The scientists discovered as many of the molecules as they could. They then compared those to a database of chemicals. Pieter Dorrestein, a UCSD pharmaceutical chemist, had helped set up that database a few
years earlier, which contains various substances, including spices, caffeine and medicines.
Traces of everything from hundreds to thousands of different molecules turned up on each phone. The molecules suggested what had been in the body, and what each person had handled before touching the phone. From all these molecules, Bouslimani says, “We could tell if a person is likely female, uses high-end cosmetics (化妆品), colors her hair, drinks coffee, prefers beer over wine or likes spicy food. ”
Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs. To date, Dorrestein says, he’s never heard of police using phone residues to narrow down behaviour clues to search for a suspect. But detectives might one day use such data to track down someone who left a phone behind at a crime scene.
【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。

文章讲述的是“手指在你的手机上

B. Disappointed.
C. Positive.
D. Uninterested.
【解析】选C。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段Police already use molecular analyses to look for traces of explosives or illegal drugs.

(2019·莆田高一检测) Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Until four years ago, Liu worked full-time as a computer engineer at a power plant in Shanxi province. He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life—wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away.
But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. Perhaps neither did he think that former US president Barack Obama would read his novel The Three-Body Problem, nor that on Nov. 9 in Washington DC, he would win the 2018 Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society. It’s the first time a Chinese writer has ever won the award.
In his acceptance speech, Liu said that he owed his imagination to Arthur C. Clarke (1917-2008), a famous UK sci-fi author. He said that
reading Clarke’s 1968 classic novel 2001: A Space Odyssey in the early 1980s had a great effect on him.
“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea, ” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed (使……敬畏) by the mystery of the universe. ”
But no matter how far away Liu’s imagination takes him, somehow his novels always stay rational.
In The Three-Body Problem, for example, Liu tells a tale of aliens invading Earth. But unlike other alien stories, Liu talks more about relationships between civilizations, rules of survival, and the meanings of life. And in The Wandering Earth, Liu looks ahead to the day when our solar system comes to an end and humans have to look for a new place to live. However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams.
【文章大意】本文是一篇人物传记。

文章讲述的是刘慈欣的成就与写作风格。

32. What do we know about Liu Cixin?
A. He became a full-time writer when he was young.
B. He dreamed about wandering in space from childhood.
C. He is the first Asian to win the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
D. He is the first Chinese winner of the Hugo Award.
【解析】选D。

细节理解题。

根据第二段中But even with such a powerful imagination, Liu, 55, probably hadn’t expected that he would become the first Asian to win the Hugo Award, science fiction’s highest prize, in 2015. 可知, 我们对刘慈欣的了解是他是第一位获得雨果奖的中国人。

33. Liu Cixin’s words are used mainly to show ______.
A. his interest in mysteries of the universe
B. his love of reading science fiction
C. his confusion when he started writing
D. his feeling after reading Clarke’s work
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

根据第四段“My mind opened up like never before. I felt like a narrow river finally seeing the sea, ” Liu said. “That night, in my eyes, the starry sky was completely different from the past. For the first time in my life, I was awed by the mystery of the universe. ”可知, 刘慈欣的话主要是在阅读克拉克的作品后表达自己的感受。

34. Why did the author mention The Three-Body Problem and The Wandering Earth?
A. To compare the different writing styles in the two books.
B. To explain how Liu Cixin came up with his ideas.
C. To show that Liu Cixin has a powerful imagination.
D. To prove that Liu Cixin’s works relate science to reality.
【解析】选D。

推理判断题。

根据最后一段中However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams. 可知, 作者提到The Three-Body Problem和The Wandering Earth是为了证明刘慈欣的作品是科学与现实的结合。

35. What’s the text mainly about?
A. Liu Cixin’s achievements and writing style.
B. Liu Cixin’s contributions to science fiction.
C. How Liu Cixin became a sci-fi writer.
D. How Liu Cixin started a new sci-fi style.
【解析】选A。

主旨大意题。

根据第一段Perhaps no one knows the power of imagination better than Chinese writer Liu Cixin. . . He only wrote science fiction in his spare time. But it was during this time that Liu’s imagination took flight. He did what he might never have the chance to do in real life—wander in space, fight with aliens, and visit planets light-years away. 可知, 本文讲述的是刘慈欣的成就与写作风格。

【方法技巧】在做推理判断题时, 对于暗含在文章中的人物的行为动机、事件的因果关系及作者未言明的倾向、意图、态度、观点等要进行合乎逻辑的判断、推理、分析, 进一步增强理解能力, 抓住材料实质性的东西。

本文第34小题, 根据最后一段中However, all his visions and solutions are based on “hard science”. Liu’s works aren’t simply daydreams. 可知, 作者提到The Three-Body Problem和The Wandering Earth是为了证明刘慈欣的作品是科学与现实的结合。

故选D。

Modern inventions have speeded up people’s lives amazingly. Motor cars　41 a hundred miles in more than an hour, aircraft cross the world within a day, 42 computers operate at lightning speed. Indeed, this love of 43 seems never-ending. Every year motor cars are produced which go even faster and each new computer boasts (吹嘘) of 44　precious seconds in handling tasks.
All this saves time, but　45 a cost. When we lose or gain half a day
in speeding across the world in an airplane, our bodies tell us so. We get the uncomfortable feeling known as jet-lag ( 时差). Our bodies feel that they have been 46 behind in another time zone. Again, spending too long at 47　results in painful wrists and fingers. Mobile phones also have their dangers, according to some scientists; too much use may transmit (传播) harmful 48 into our brains, a consequence we do not like to 49 about.
However, how do we handle the time we have saved? Certainly not relax, or so it seems. We are so used to constant activity that we find it 50 to sit down and do nothing or even just one thing at a time. Perhaps the days are long gone when we might listen 51　to a story on the radio, letting imagination take us into another world.
There was a time 52 some people’s lives were devoted simply to the cultivation (耕作) of the 53 or the care of cattle. No multi-tasking (多重任务) there; their lives went on at a much gentler pace, and in a familiar pattern. There is much that we might envy about a way of life like this. Yet before we do so, we must think of the hard tasks our ancestors 54　. Modern machines have 55 people from that primitive existence.
