Our favorite tech gifts of 2019
When it comes time for the holiday shopping season, we’re extra choosy about the countless technology products that we will buy and give to friends and family. Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019.
Lumos Matrix
I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stre ssful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definitely helps.
— Matt mcfarland, Writer Goodreads app
Although this isn’t a gift, the free Goodrea ds app is a gamechanger. At the beginnin g of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month.
I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and o thers on the app were recommending. I re ad 35 books this year! (That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks.
— Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cup
I drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier.
— Millie Dent, Intern 1. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet?
A. Helping drivers concentrate.
B. Managing the bad weather.
C. Making night riding safer.
D. Making bikers less painful.
2. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”?
A. It changes some readers’ reading rules.
B. It provides readers with free internet games.
C. It limits the number of books a reader can read.

With golden sunshine and a gentle breeze（微风）, autumn is the most beautiful seasons in the year. This is a great time to go outside and have fun. Go to a valley to see red maple trees,go and pick fruit in an orchard or find an open field to fly your kite in.
However, for many high school students, these great activities may be just a dream. With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams. Of course, study is one of the most important things for teenagers. But life is definitely much more than that.
Sometimes we spend so much time studying that we forget how to make life wonderful. In doing so, we lose the real purpose of life —to be a valuable and happy person. To enjoy just how great it is to be alive, we have to put down our books and pens and look around us. Students, take some exercise to improve your health, talk with your parents and friends for understanding and walk around outside to refresh（振作）our body and mind.
Going out and enjoying the beautiful countryside often helps our creativity in our work. Chinese craftsman, Lu Ban created a saw to help woodworkers. But if he hadn’t walked outside, he would not have been inspired by a kind of toothed（锯齿状的）grass. We could also su ppose if Newton hadn’t rested under that apple tree, then he wou ldn’t have been hit by an apple, and his classic（经典的）theories would not have come out.
Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience. So come on, give your brain a good rest. Step out of the books and get your bag ready for an autumn outing. We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.
4. In which paragraph does the writer make a summary about his opinion?
A. Paragraph 1.
B. Paragraph 2.
C. Paragraph 4.
D. Paragraph 5.
5. Why is going out a dream for many high school students?
A. They are unhappy to do so.
B. They have too much work to do for getting high marks in the exams.
C. Their parent s don’t allow them to d o so.
D. They think study is the most important thing for them.
6. The passage is developed mainly by______________.
A. describing the beautiful scenery in Autumn
B. pointing out the present situation of high school students
C. making predictions
D. reasoning and giving examples
7. What message can you learn from the passage?
A. Going out can make high school students get more.
B. Nature is power.
C. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
D. The author isn’t happy with our educat ion at all.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文，作者用鲁班和牛顿的例子论述了高中生应该走出教室，走出去不仅是从学习中休息，而且还是增加生活经历的机会。

【4题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第五段中的“Going out is not only a break from hard work, but a chance to add to life experience.”可知，作者认为出去不仅是从学习中休息，也是增加生活经历的机会，所以作者在第五段总结了自己的观点，故D项正确。

【5题详解】
细节理解题。

根据第二段中的“With plenty of work to do, they spend all their hours indoors, struggling for a high mark in their exams.”可知，出去对很多高中生来说只是一个梦是因为为了在考试中得高分，他们有很多功课要做，故B项正确。

【6题详解】
推理判断题。

文章举鲁班和牛顿的例子并进行推理，如果鲁班不出去看到锯齿状的草就不会发明出锯，如果牛顿不出去在苹果树下休息被树上掉下来的苹果砸到就不会发现万有引力定
律。

由此推理文章是以推理和举例子的手法展开的，故D项正确。

【7题详解】
推理判断题。

根据最后一段中的“We are sure you will get much more than knowledge from the exciting journey.”可知，我们相信你们会从这激动人心的旅程中，获得到更多的知识，由此判断出走出教室可以让高中生学到更多的东西。

故A项正确。

C
Every year, the brightest young scientists from around the globe come together to participate in the world’s largest pre-college science competition, the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.
On e of 2019’s winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from water. This concept can also be applied to the removal of microplastics from our oceans as well.
Here is what Katie told reporters:
My experience at Intel ISEF was amazing! I remember on judging day, walking the exhibit hall and looking at the people gathered outside waiting to get in. My teacher turned to me and said, “That’s the future right there.” It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.
My scientific career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help. It’s really easy to be overwhelmed (挫败) and wonder if what you’re doing is going to work out, but even if it doesn’t, it’s OK! A lways look on the positive side! A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. Failure makes success feel earned when it comes. Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling. You learn how to do things a lot faster and more efficiently.
I’m shocked that some people are still skeptical about climate change. It is real, it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet. Additionally, people aren’t re ally worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources. If we don’t curb harmful human activity before it’s too late, it will be a problem that
affects all humans, not just those that contribute.
8. What seems to concern Katie most?
A. Ocean exploration.
B. The overpopulation on the earth.
C. Environmental problems.
D. The shortage of natural energy.
9. What can we learn from what Katie’s teacher said?
A. No Intel ISEF, no future.
B. All the talents are at the Intel ISEF.
C. The participants will make the future amazing.
D. Katie should try to do better than the other participants.
10. What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us？
A. The setbacks Katie experienced in her science.
B. The relationship between failure and success.
C. Seeking help is a shortcut to doing things well.
D. What Katie has gained from her scientific career.
11. What does the underlined word “curb” in the last paragraph most probably mean?
A. Punish.
B. Control.
C. Deny.
D. Measure.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. D 11. B
【解析】
本文是新闻报道。

每年，来自世界各地的年轻科学家聚集在一起，参加世界上最大的大学预科科学竞赛——英特尔国际科学与工程博览会。

文章报道了2019年的奖项获得者Katie在接受记着采访时，表达了科学生涯给她的启迪和她对人们并不是真正关心环境问题的担忧。

【8题详解】
推理判断题。

文章第二段提到“One of 2019’s winners, Katie Lu, found a method for removing oil from wa ter.” 2019年Katie Lu发现了一种从水中去除油的方法，因此获奖。

她的发现是关于环境问题的；以及文章最后一段中Katis所说的话“It is real, it is dangerous and it is one of the most important issues of our generation. Reducing carbon emissions isn’t a “should”, it is a “must” to continue living on the planet.
（这是真实的，是危险的，也是我们这一代最重要的问题之一。

要继续生活在这个星球上，减少碳排放不是“应该”，而是“必须”。

）”因此可以推断，Katis最关注的是环境问题。

故选C项。

【9题详解】
细节理解题。

第一段中提到“They demonstrate their knowledge of science and engineering to improve the way we work and live.”；根据第四段中Katie的老师对她说的话“That’s the future right there.”以及Katie说的话“It was so amazing to spend time with all of these participants who are going to do amazing things in the future.（能和这些将来会做出惊人事情的参与者们在一起真是太棒了。

）”可知，Katis的老师认为参加英特尔国际科学与工程博览会(ISEF)的这些年轻科学家们就是未来，因为他们将通过他们的科学知识改善人们的工作和生活方式，能创造令人惊讶的未来。

故选C项。

【10题详解】
主旨大意题。

在第五段中Katie说“My scienti fic career has taught me not to fear failure and not to be afraid to ask for help.（我的科学生涯教会了我不要害怕失败，不要害怕寻求帮助。

）”；下文提到Katis的感受“A failure now doesn’t mean you’re a failure forever. … Also, asking for help is good when you’re struggling.”因此可以推断，该段是阐述Katie从她的科学生涯中得到的启迪。

故选D项。

【11题详解】
词句猜测题。

划线词前一句提到“people aren’t really worried about their personal impact on the earth in terms of littering, overusing plastic or wasting resources.” Katie认为人们并不是真正担心个人不好的行为，如乱扔垃圾、过度使用塑料或浪费资源等对地球造成的影响；划线词后面的主句部分说明这类行为的不良影响“it will be a problem that affects all humans .”从句“If we don’t curb harmful human activity”表示假设，可以猜测其意思为“如果不遏制人类的这些对环境有害的行为”，其中“curb”意思为“遏制，控制”。

故选B项。

D
If you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catc h a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.
Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses (信天翁) in
Indian oceans. Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS, which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats. That information was then sent by satellite, so the researchers could track the location of the birds—and thus the radar-emitting boats—in real time.
The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats, collected from a system boats use to declare themselves, called the Automatic Identification System (AIS). And noticeable differences appeared frequently.
More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected r adar signals, and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.
The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.
Fortunately, such a task would be difficult. Around fishing boats, you can find hundreds of birds at any one time that are flying around. And the birds with loggers are not marke d in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.
But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats. Though regulations have been established to protect against that happening—with success—illegal boats don’t necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations.
12. What characteristic of albatrosses do scientists take advantage of in their research?
A. Their feeding patterns.
B. Their sense of direction.
C. Their greedy behaviors.
D Their habit of following fishing boats.
13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?
A. To seek more fishes.
B. To have it mistaken for another.
C. To avoid being detected.
D. To save the trouble of declaring itself.
14. What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to?
A. Identifying birds with loggers.
B. Monitoring illegal boats.
C. Tracking radar signals automatically.
D. Fishing illegally.
15. What could be the best title for the text?
A. AIS: an Effective System to Locate Boats
B. Humans Are Good at Discovering Birds’ Nature
C. Data Loggers Help Fishermen Get a Good Harvest
D. Scientists Use Birds to Track Illegal Fishing Operations
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
本文是说明文。

科学家们利用信天翁喜欢跟随渔船的习性，在信天翁的背部安装数据记录器，通过实时追踪鸟类的位置来追踪非法渔船，以监控非法捕鱼行为。

【12题详解】
细节理解题。

根据文章第一段中“If you’ve ever been on a fishing boat, you’ve probably seen crowds of birds following it, hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.”可知，信天翁有跟随渔船的习性，现在科学家们利用鸟的这个习性来追踪非法渔船。

故选D项。

【13题详解】
推理判断题。

根据第四段中“but no such boat appeared in the official log—meaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS—something that probably happens in illegal fishing operations.（官方的观察记录中没有出现这样的船只，这意味着这些船只很可能关闭了它们的自动识别系统(AIS)，而这种情况很可能发生在非法捕鱼作业中。

）”因此可以推断，船只关闭AIS系统的目的是为了避免在非法捕鱼作业中被发现。

故选C项。

【14题详解】
词义猜测题。

文章第五段中提到“The work suggests birds could be an effective boat-monitoring tool as long as illegal fishing operations don’t target the birds.
（这项研究表明，只要非法捕鱼活动不以鸟类为目标，鸟类可能是一种有效的船只监控工具。

）”；第六段中提到“And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way. So it’s not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird.” 在渔船周围，有很多鸟儿在飞翔。

有记录器的鸟没有任何标记。

渔民要识别出一种特定的鸟（即有记录器的鸟儿）是不可能的。

因此可以推断“such a task”指的是通过记录器识别出鸟儿。

故选A项。

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。

文章第一段提到“Now scientists use those birds’ behavior to track illegal fishing boats.”；下文提到科学家们在信天翁身上安装数据记录器，通过实时追踪鸟类的位置来追踪船只的位置。

不过也会有非法渔船关闭自动识别系统或者信天翁被非法渔船捕获的情况。

文章的内容是围绕科学家如何利用鸟类追踪非法捕鱼行为的。

因此文章标题应该为“科学家利用鸟类追踪非法捕鱼作业”。

故选D项。

这是一篇说明文，主要讲述了慢食运动的起源以及理念。

【16题详解】
上文提到，当新的麦当劳在美丽的历史名胜附近开业时，有些人站在餐厅外面大喊：“我们不想要快餐，我们想要慢食！”G项承接上文，“这一活动并不是开始慢食运动的唯一原因。

”后句，再举一例，去餐馆吃传统大餐。

但是食物的味道和他记忆中的不一样了。

可知，G项可以起到承上启下的作用，切题。

故选G项。

【17题详解】
根据上文可知，成立了一个小组来鼓励希望人们关心他们的食物来自哪里，以及他们的食物如何使他们的文化与众不同。

并很快变成了慢食运动。

后文分别解释了“have good, clean, fair food for all people.”。

所以此空应为提出慢食运动的目标“它的目标是为所有人提供良好、干净、公平的食物。

”B项可以与下文构成总分结构，故选B项。

【18题详解】
根据上句“Good food is seasonable．”好的食物是时令的。

“它应该生长在一年中最适合这种食物的时间。

”可以对上句“好的食物是时令的”做出解释说明。

E项切题。

故选E项。

【19题详解】
上一句提到“化学物质也会损害农场周围的自然环境。

”后文“清洁食品是指不会伤害我们的身体或环境的食品。

”后文可以总结前文，所以此空应为化学物质伤害我们的身体。

C 项“随着时间的流逝，它们也可能导致人们的健康问题。

”符合文章的分总结构。

故选C 项。

【20题详解】
上句“食物应该公平”，后文“所有的人都应该能够购买健康食品”。

A 项“食物不应该花太多钱”解释了食物应该公平的含义，同时为后句“所有人都应该能够购买健康食品。

”做铺垫。

故选A 项。

【点睛】七选五题型要求考生从整体上把握文章的逻辑结构和内容上的联系，理解句子之间、段落之间的关系，对诸如连贯性、一致性等语段特征有较强的意识和熟练的把握。

所以懂得整篇文章的基本结构或段落的语篇结构对解题很有用。

分析本文的语篇结构，可以知道第一段是文章的主题句，然后接下来各段的语篇结构都是主题句（总）+支撑句（分）（分述主题的具体内容/说明原因/举例证明等）。

所以第2小题，根据上文可知，成立了一个小组来鼓励希望人们关心他们的食物来自哪里，以及他们的食物如何使他们的文化与众不同。

并很快变成了慢食运动。

后文分别解释了“have good, clean, fair food fo r all people.”。

所以此空应为提出慢食运动的目标“它的目标是为所有人提供良好、干净、公平的食物。

”B 项可以与下文构成总分结构，故选B 项。
