高分提能组合练(十九)阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错Ⅰ. 阅读理解(2019·福建莆田调研)In the future those who are taking care of old people may get help from the house itself.Over the last few years, new technology, such as the Internet, Wi-Fi and flat TV screens, has changed our homes and the way that we live. Now, another technology revolution is happening. A new project at the University of Hertfordshire wants to create a home that monitors people living in it who are elderly.The researchers have developed a wristband device(装置)which helps us to watch the elderly person who is wearing it. The device collects information to see if the person has fallen or has wandered away from where he or she should be.The assisted-living project is part of the university’s wider Interhome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house remembers the habits of the person who lives there and it uses very low amounts of energy. The Interhome team hope that offering this service will help take care of the elderly. They say, “It’s very important that these technologies are there to help and support and not replace any of the existing services. ”The Interhome is not just a research method. It’s also a way for students from different scientific backgrounds to learn and develop technology. The university uses the latest technology to help students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. The team includes design, engineering and computer science students working together.“We are working on a smart-home project in Watford with some companies at the moment,” says the project leader. “We are looking at how a smart home can provide even more services. ” This could help millions of old people around the world have a better and safer life in the future.[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。

高分提能组合练(二十九)阅读理解+完形填空+语法填空+短文改错Ⅰ. 阅读理解(2019·河北衡水调研)What Cocktail Parties Teach UsYou’re at a party. Music is playing. Glasses are clinking. Dozens of conversations are driving up the decibel (分贝) level. Yet among all those distractions, you can tune your attention to just one voice from many. This ability is what researchers call the “cocktail-party effect”.Scientists at the University of California in San Francisco have found where that sound-editing process occurs in the brain—in the auditory cortex (听觉皮层) just behind the ear, not in areas of higher thought. The auditory cortex boosts some sounds and turns down others so that when the signal reaches the higher brain, “it’s as if only one person was speaking alone,”says investigator Edward Chang.These findings, published in the journal Nature last week, explain why people aren’t very good at multitasking—our brains are wired for “selective attention”and can focus on only one thing at a time. That inborn ability has helped humans survive in a world buzzing with visual and auditory stimulation (刺激).But we keep trying to push the limits with multitasking, sometimes with tragic(悲剧的) consequences. Drivers talking on cellphones, for example, are four times as likely to get into traffic accidents as those who aren’t.Many of those accidents are due to “inattentional blindness”,in which people can, in effect, turn a blind eye to things they aren’t focusing on. The more attention a task demands, the less attention we can pay to other things in our field of vision. Images land on our retinas (视网膜) and are either boosted or played down in the visual cortex before being passed to the brain, just as the auditory cortex filters sounds, as shown in the Nature study last week. “It’s a push-pull relationship— the more we focus on one thing, the less we can focus on others,” says Diane M.Beck, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois.Studies over the past decade at the University of Utah show that drivers talking on hands-free cellphones are just as influenced as those on hands-held phones because it is the conversation, not the device, that is distracting their attention. Those talking on any kind of cellphone react more slowly and miss more traffic signals than other motorists.Some people can train themselves to pay extra attention to things that are important—like police officers learn to scan crowds for faces and conductors can listen for individual instruments within the orchestra as a whole. Many more think they can effectively multitask, but are actuallyshifting their attention rapidly between two things and not getting the full effect of either, experts say.[语篇解读]本文讲述的是“鸡尾酒会效应”的启示。

When they press a button, the Recycler will melt down the plastic and turn itinto 3D filament ( 长丝 ).The filament will be used in a 3D printer on the ISS — called the Refabricator — to make tools, spare parts and satellite components.The waste will come from packaging materials, food containers, trays and eating utensils (器具) used on the ISS. Astronaut currently use disposable wet wipes to clean their food containersand utensils. The used wipes are stored as trash ( 垃圾 ), and replacement wipes must be sent upto the ISS on cargo missions.By recycling old food containers and utensils, astronauts will reduce the amount of trash they produce. To get rid of trash from the ISS, astronauts load it into empty cargo capsules (航天舱) and release it into space. The capsules burn up when they enter Earth’ s atmosphere.Turning trash into useful new items will also help NASA save money because astronauts will need fewer supplies. It costs about $ 6,000 for every kilogram launched into orbit. These benefitswill be even more important for longer missions in the future—such as the two- year journey to Mars. Astronauts will be able to recycle old waste materials into new tools and parts as theyneed them.Tethers have successfully tested the systems in its laboratory. They will test it on the ISS inlate 2018. The company is also developing a version of the system for use here on Earth.[语篇解读 ]本文叙述一家航天科技企业Tethers Unlimited Inc.,开发了一种将废物回收机和 3D 打印机联合起来的系统。

The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures.“ We do not yet know the mechanisms(机制)involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said. “Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can’t yet quantify. ”The change is big in cold-blooded animals. Only two decades of warmer temperatures are enough to make reptiles (爬行动物)smaller. An increase of only 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢).Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growing.Warm-blooded animals aren’t immune(免除)from the size change caused by climate change. Many birds are now smaller. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaken. And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records.This is not the first time this has happened in Earth’s history. 55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years. That event happened over a longer time than the current climate change.The speed of modern climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times climate change will be shown in the future.[语篇解读]本文是一篇科普说明文,科学家原来认为二氧化碳的增加会导致物种体型变大,但研究人员发现气候的变化导致了物种体型变小。

Soon that may change with “green” power.Three Chilean students got the idea for a plant-powered device(装置) to charge their cellphones, while sitting in their school’s outdoor courtyard during a break from exams, with dead mobile phones. Then, one of them had an “aha” moment.“It occurred to Camila to say about plants,” said inventor Evelyn Aravena. “’Why don’t you have a socket, if there are so many plants? ’After that, we thought, ’why don’t they have a charging outlet? Because there are so many plants and living things that have the potential to produce energy, why not?’”Their invention—a small biological circuit called E-Kaia—uses the energy plants to produce during photosynthesis(光合作用).A plant uses only a small part of that energy and the rest goes into the soil, and that’s where the E-Kaia collects it. The device plugs into the ground and then into your phone.“It’s the most amazing project I’ve ever seen in my life, plain and simple. They brought this original model, and it worked—and that’s when it all changed, at least from my personal point of view and I began to support them. ” said Mauricio Cifuentes.The device solved two problems for the engineering students—they needed an idea for a class project, and an outlet to plug in their phones.“Looking for a place to charge the notebook, which had no power, and the mobile phones, we weren’t able to find anything because all the other students were in the same state of madness trying to find a place to charge their devices,” said Aravena.But plants are everywhere, and the bio-circuit makes the best of their excess(过多的) power.The E-Kaia doesn’t carry much charge but it’s powerful enough to completely recharge a mobile phone in less than two hours.The student inventors have applied for patents on their technology, and expect the E-Kaia to go on sale in December 2019.[语篇解读]本文叙述的是,学生们一个偶尔的想法得到“green” power idea,该装置通过使用小型生物电路来收集电力。

It was small—yet fierce—Hailey Dawson, who has a 3D-printed hand.The energetic 8-year-old from Nevada was invited to throw out the first pitch at the Giants game on Sunday. Dawson was born with Poland syndrome(综合症), a disorder in which affected individuals are born with missing or underdeveloped muscles on one side of the body. It affected her hand.With a traditional prosthetic(假肢)potentially costing thousands of dollars, Hailey’s mom, Yong Dawson turned to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas for help. She emailed UNLV engineering, and they accepted the challenge. Brendan O’Toole, chairman of the mechanical engineering department, said he and his team had got a lot of requests, “but this one was different. ”They got to work using a 3D-printer. Several prototypes(原型)and fittings later,Dawson got her first hand about four years ago.Hailey’s mother said the hand had given her daughter a wonderful lift. “When she puts this robotic hand on, it changes her personality and confidence level,” Yong Dawson told CBS San Francisco. “I love seeing that. I just wanted her to have an even playing field. ”When she arrived at AT&T Park on Sunday, Hailey got to hang out with players in the shelter at the side of the sports field. They even let her try on their World Series rings.Using her 3D-printed hand, Dawson threw out the perfect first pitch. Then with a wave and a smile, she headed into the stands to cheer on her newfound friends on the Giants.[语篇解读]本文为记叙文。
