M: Wow, that’s a lot of TV! What about Sundays?
W: The ones on Sundays weren’t as good. All of my friends loved the Saturday cartoons, and we would talk about them for the rest of the week, but we never really talked about the Sunday ones. Sometimes, if you were lucky, they would show the Saturday cartoons again on Sundays, so you got a second chance to see them.
M: Do you often watch cartoons on TV now?
W: Nah, not really. I like movies like Toy Story and Cars, though. What about you?
M: I never really watched cartoons when I was little. Now, I like cartoons that are made for adults. They only come on TV late at night. That is too late for me to watch. I don’t really like kids’ cartoons. I think they’re stupid.

“Birds” and “airports” are two words that, paired together，don’t normally paint the most harmonious picture. So it really raises some eyebrows when China announces plans to build an airport that is for birds.
Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport. Rather，it's a wetland preserve specifically designed to accommodate hundreds-even thousands-of daily takeoffs and landings by birds traveling along the East Asian-Australian Flyway. Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.
Located on a former landfill site，the 150-acre airport is also open to human travelers.(Half a million visitors are expected annually.) However，instead of duty-free shopping，the main attraction for
non-egg-laying creatures at Tianjin’s newest airport wil l be a green-roofed education and research center, a
series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.
“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migrat ory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” Adrian McGregor of an Australian landscape architecture firm explained of the design. Frequently blanketed in smog so thick that it has shut down real airports, Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs•
24. The underlined phrase “non-egg-laying creatures” in Paragraph 3 refers to?
A. Visitors.
B. Designers.
C. Endangered water birds.
D. Planes.
25. What do we know about the airport according to the passage?
A. People cannot watch birds up close here.
B. It is located on a 150-acre landfill site.
C. It functions as an actual airport and a wetland preserve.
D. It provides migratory birds with food and shelter.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The airport will become a permanent home for birds.
B. Tianjin will win worldwide fame in the future.
C. Tianjin’s air quality will improve thanks to the airport.
D. Tianjin will be able to accommodate more people.
27. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Airports shut down and open up.
B. China is to open the first Bird Airport.
C. Airports turn into green lungs.
D. Birds are no longer enemies to airports.
【答案】24. A 25. D 26. C 27. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了中国将在天津建立鸟儿机场保护区的计划以及具体规划内容和其重大意义。

【24题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据画线词前的“instead of duty-free shopping”及画线词后的“a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a networ k of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.”可知，天津鸟儿机场保护区对游客的主要吸引力将是一个绿色屋顶的教育和研究中心，观赏台以及一个总长超过4英里的风景优美的步行道和自行车道网络，而不是免税购物，由此可知画线词词义为“游客”，故A项正确。

【25题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“Over 50 species of migratory (迁徙的）water birds，some endangered, will stop and feed at the protected sanctuary before continuing their long journey along the flyway.”可知，迁徙的候鸟可以在机场保护区停留和吃东西，然后继续飞行，也就是机场保护区可以为候鸟提供食物和住所，故D项正确。

【26题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species, while providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.”及“Tianjin is a city---China’s fourth most populous----that would certainly benefit from a new pair of healthy green lungs”可知，天津的空气质量和环境会因为这个鸟儿机场保护区得到很大的改善，故C项正确。

【27题详解】
主旨大意题。

通读全文，特别是根据第二段中的“Described as the world’s first-ever bird airport, the proposed Lingang Bird Sanctuary(保护区）in the northern coastal city of Tianjin is, of course,not an actual airport.”可知，本文主要介绍了中国将在天津建立鸟儿机场保护区的计划以及具体规划内容和其重大意义，故B项正确。

【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，对画线词上下文的理解是关键，例如本篇第1题，根据画线词前的“instead of duty-free shopping”及画线词后的“a green-roofed education and research center, a series of raised “observation platforms” and a network of scenic walking and cycling paths totaling over 4 miles.”可知，免税购物、绿色屋顶的教育和研究中心、观赏台以及风景优美的步行道和自行车道网络都是为了吸引游客而设计的，由此可知画线词词义为“游客”。

C
One of the easiest ways to stop the spread of disease is to simply wash your hands. Twenty seconds of handwashing with soap and water can reduce illnesses and save lives. But, many people, especially children, do not have good handwashing habits. One problem is that children do not wash their hands often enough or long enough. Children may think that it is a tiresome thing to do.
To help handle this problem, two businesswomen from India created a product to turn handwashing
into a fun activity. Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly.
“It's such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people aren't doing it, and it's resulting in actual deaths-which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method,” said Issar.
As the name suggests, SoaPen is a pen made out of soap. The children draw on their hands with the soap pen and then wash the drawing off. If they don’t spend enough time washing it off, the colors remain on the children’s hands. Issar said it makes sure that children take enough time to wash their hands. This may be especially helpful in a classroom. Often a teacher does not have the time to make each child wash his hands properly.
Kids actually wash their hands for the proper amount of time because they're drawing on their hands. To obliterate the drawing, they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.
Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.
28. Why does SoaPen come into existence?
A. To cure kids of some kinds of diseases.
B. To teach kids the importance of soap.
C. To help kids wash their hands correctly.
D. To make money from children consumers.
29. Which of the following does Issar agree with?
A. Handwashing is anything but little.
B. SoaPen is designed for classrooms.
C. Some teachers ignore kids’ health in school.
D. Kids don't know the right way of handwashing.
30. What does “obliterate” underlined in paragraph 5 mean?
A. Show.
B. Reserve.
C. Learn
D. Remove.
31. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A SoaPen has become popular worldwide.
B. The inventors think Soapen has a bright future.
C. SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.
D. Kids' health should be paid more attention to.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。

文章介绍了是一款有特殊图样的液态洗手产品SoaPen。

如果孩子没有把它洗干净则会在手上留下颜色，这就让洗手变得有乐趣，同时教孩子们养成良好的洗手习惯。

【28题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第二段中Amanat Anand and Shubham Issar created a tool called SoaPen, aimed at teaching kids good handwashing habits and encouraging kids to wash their hands with soap appropriately and regularly.可知Amanat Anand和Shubham Issar发明了一种叫做Soapen的工具，目的是教孩子们良好的洗手习惯，并鼓励孩子们用肥皂适当而有规律地洗手。

由此可知，发明Soapen是为了帮助孩子养成良好的洗手习惯，故选C。

【29题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第三段“It's such a simple habit to do, but the fact is that people aren't doing it, and it's resulting in actual deaths-which is shocking. So, we decided to come up with a fun method,” said Issar.可知“这是一个很简单的习惯，但事实是人们并没有这样做，这导致了实际的死亡——这是令人震惊的。

” Issar说。

由此可推知，Issar认为洗手绝不是小事。

故选A。

【30题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据后文they actually wash their hands instead of just going under water and, you know, a one-second wash and off.可知孩子们为了抹掉这幅画，他们实际上是在洗手，而不是仅仅在水下冲一下，你知道，一秒钟洗完就走了。

可知，划线单词意为“移除”，故选D。

【31题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段Good news is that the school children in Mumbai, India, will soon most likely wash their hands after handling a pet. Issar and Anand stated that SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.可知好消息是，印度孟买的学生们在接触宠物后，很可能很快就会洗手。

Issar和Anand表示，随处可见的SoaPen将通过在全球城市中洗手来帮助人们养成良好的习惯。

由此可推知，发明家认为SoaPen有一个光明的未来。

故选B。

【点睛】易错分析
4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. SoaPen has become popular worldwide.
B. The inventors think Soapen has a bright future.
C. SoaPen has been applied in Mumbai schools.
D. Kids' health should be paid more attention to.
本题易错选A或C选项，最后一段中提到了SoaPen to be created everywhere will help promote good habits through handwashing in the city across the globe.(随处可见的SoaPen将通过在全球城市中洗手来帮助人们养成良好的习惯)但用的是to be done的形式，表示将来的动作，故A选项“SoaPen已经在全世界都很受欢迎”不符合原文表述；C选项也是同样的错误，文章中用的是一般将来时，说明还没有应用，C选项表示“SoaPen已经应用到孟买的学校中”与原文不符合。

只有B选项“发明家认为SoaPen有一个光明的未来”符合最后一段想要表述的意思。

故选B。

D
Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device. It comes with a case that has a clip (夹子) , but it's not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.
This roughly 2-inch by 2-inch camera, with a three-hour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness, is intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.
Onboard the Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (计算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. "Once it learns that there's a face you see frequently, it'll try to get nice photos of those faces," said Juston Payne, the device's product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved "training it to know what happiness looks like". The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child's hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse.
The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing.
Were people concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted. But they said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet.
"This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced" Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we're likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.
32. What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?
A. It is equipped with tough glass.
B. It enables easy Internet access.
C. It allows of hands-free photography.
D. It can be worn on your clothing.
33. What does the underlined word "candid" in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. brief.
B. touching.
C. unforgettable.
D. embarrassing.
34. What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne?
A. The popularity of the Internet.
B. The advance in technology.
C. The rise of the smartphone industry.
D. The reduction in the price of lens.
35. What is the best title for the text?
A. A New Digital Camera from Google.
B. New Gadgets in the Age of Apps.
C. Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life.
D. An Alternative Way to Photograph.
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。

文章主要介绍了谷歌公司推出的一款叫Clips的新相机。

【32题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第一段中的Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.（最有趣的是，它利用人工智能摄影解放你的双手，由人工智能自动捕捉瞬间）可知，新相机Clips可以自动捕捉瞬间，不需要人们动手。

故选C。

【33题详解】
词义猜测题。

根据划线单词下一句like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.比如孩子做了一些可爱的事情，你可能来不及拿出智能手机。

可知，candid moments意为“短暂”的时刻结合选项A. brief短暂的；B. touching 动人的；C. unforgettable难忘的；D. embarrassing尴尬的。

故选A。

【34题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的"This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced" Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size.（佩恩说:“这种产品之所以成为可能，是因为硅的发展方式。

”他指出，只是在过去一年左右的时间里，他们才能够将这种技术应用到这种尺寸的设备上）可推知，新相机Clips能够制作出来是由于技术的进步和发展。

故选B。

【35题详解】
主旨大意题。

根据第一段中的Google's new camera, called Clips, is a small, smart device.（谷歌的新相机名为Clips，是一款小型智能设备）及下文对这款相机的介绍可知，本文主要介绍了谷歌公司推出的一款叫Clips的新相机，并对照相机的各种功能和使用进行了介绍。

因此，A项A New Digital Camera from Google（谷歌的新数码相机）适合做本文最佳标题。

故选A。

【点睛】做阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。

推理判断题也是要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

如第1小题，What is the most outstanding feature of Clips?要求判断出Clips最突出的特点是什么。

根据第一段中的Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own.（最有趣的是，它利用人工智能把摄影从你的手中夺走，这样它就可以自己捕捉瞬间）可知，新相机Clips 可以自动捕捉瞬间，不需要人们动手。

Most interestingly与the most outstanding相互对应。

故选C。
