2022届高考英语阅读理解：科技类 专项练习
1. A culture guide named Persephone welcomes travelers to Greece and takes them through a famous cave in the north. The guide moves smoothly around the underground area and can talk about it in 33 languages. It can also answer 33 questions, but only in the Greek language.
Persephone is intelligent and it is a human-sized robot. The robot has been in operation for about a month at the Alistrati Cave. Persephone guides visitors through the first 150 meters of the cave that is open to the public. For the remaining 750 meters, a human guide takes over.
The idea of creating the robot guide was come up with by Nikos Kartalis, who is the scientific director at the Alistrati site. He had this idea when he saw one on television guiding visitors at an art show. Persephone was built by the National Technology and Research Foundation and cost about 139,000 dollars. "People who had visited in the past are coming back to see the robot guide," said Nikos, "Many foreign visitors couldn't believe Greece had the ability to build a robot and use it as a guide in the cave."
The robot, with a white body, black head, and two bright eyes, moves on wheels. It guides visitors to the first three of eight stops along the walkway. It can do two more stops, but it is too slow for the tour. Persephone's creators are considering ways to increase its speed. The robot begins the tour by saying: "My name is Persephone. I welcome you to the Alistrati Cave."
Evdokia Karafera is a human guide who parmers with Persephone. "It is helpful, because it speaks many languages," she said. "There's just a little delay in the touring. Most find it fascinating, especially the children, and find it interesting that it speaks many languages. Robots, at some point in the future, will take over many jobs. But I believe they cannot take the place of humans everywhere."
1.What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 2
A.Persephone's hobby. B.Persephone's intelligence.
C.Persephone's job. D.Persephone's operating principle.
2.What might be the foreign visitors' first reaction when seeing Persephone
A.Surprised. B.Delighted. C.Satisfied. D.Frightened.
3.What is a disadvantage of Persephone according to Paragraph 4
A.Its limited color of its body. B.Its slow speed.
C.Its unstable moving patterns. D.Its short greeting.
4.What does Evdokia want to stress in the last Paragraph
A.Persephone is intended to attract the children.
B.Persephone is helpless in making the site famous.
C.Robots will play a less important role in the future.
D.Robots are unable to replace humans everywhere.
2. Self-driving cars are just around the corner. Such vehicles will make getting from one place to another safer and less stressful. They also could cut down on traffic, reduce pollution and limit accidents. But how should driverless cars handle emergencies People disagree on the answer. And that might put the brakes on this technology, a new study concludes.
To understand the challenge, imagine a car that suddenly meets some pedestrians in the road. Even with braking, it's too late to avoid a crash. So the car's artificial intelligence must decide whether to swerve (急转弯). To save the pedestrians, should the car swerve off the road or swerve into oncoming traffic What if such options would likely kill the car's passengers
Researchers used online surveys to study people's attitudes about such situations with driverless cars. Survey participants mostly agreed that driverless cars should be designed to protect the most people. That included swerving into walls (or otherwise sacrificing their passengers) to save a larger number of pedestrians. But there is a dilemma (困境). Those same surveyed people want to ride in cars that protect passengers at all costs—even if the pedestrians would now end up dying. Jean Bonnefon is a psychologist at the Toulouse School of Economics in France. He and his colleagues reported their findings in Science.
"Autonomous cars can completely change transportation", says study coauthor Iyad Rahwan. But, he adds, this new technology creates a moral dilemma that could slow its acceptance.
"Makers of driverless cars are in a tough spot," Bonnefon's group warns. Most buyers would want their car to be programmed to protect them in preference to other people. However, regulations might one day instruct that cars must act for the greater good. That would mean saving the most people. But the scientists think rules like this could drive away buyers. If so, all the potential benefits of driverless cars would be lost.
"Compromises (折中) might be possible," Kurt Gray says. He is a psychologist at the University of North Carolina. He thinks that even if all driverless cars are programmed to protect their passengers in emergencies, traffic accidents will decrease. Those vehicles might be dangerous to pedestrians on rare occasions. But they "won't speed, won't drive drunk and won't text while driving, which would be a win for society."

3.When someone damages their backbone, the injury can leave them paralyzed (瘫痪). Now, scientists have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again, thanks to an implanted device.
The human backbone, or spine, doesn't just help us stand up straight. Inside is the spinal cord, which carries important information between the head and the lower part of the body. This information moves around as bursts of electricity traveling between the brain and the other parts of the body. When the spinal cord is hurt, this pathway gets damaged and they can't move their legs.
Now scientists in Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. To help them walk again, the men had surgery. A special device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury. This "implant" contained sixteen electrodes, which are small objects that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes were lined up with nerves that control the leg muscles. The scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer.
The patient's brains aren't sending "walking" messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages. The researchers used computers to generate patterns of movement, like taking a step. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk using a special walker with buttons to control each leg.
The solution isn't perfect. It's very expensive, it requires difficult surgery, and the patients can't walk without the system. But the scientists are hopeful that in the future, this sort of technology will allow many paralyzed people to begin to walk again in just hours.

4. Android phones will be used to sense earthquakes around the world and may one day be able to provide global warnings, with the first mass alert system coming into use on August 11 in California, Google announced.
Google, which helped develop Android, worked with California and the US Geological Survey to build the quake alerts into all phones that run the common mobile operating system. Android users who have enabled location services and are near a quake of magnitude 4. 5 or greater will receive a full-screen earthquake warning telling them to drop to the floor and seek cover. The screen also will provide estimates of the quake's magnitude and distance from the user. Depending on their distance from a quake, people could get several seconds or perhaps a minute of warning.
Users won't need to a download California's MyShake app in order to receive the alerts. That application, developed by the University of California, Berkeley and launched last year, has been downloaded by only about 1 million of California's 40 million residents. By contrast, many millions of people own Android phones.
"This announcement means that California's world- class earthquake early warning system will be a standard function on every Android phone- giving millions precious seconds to drop, cover and hold on when the big one hits,""Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement. IPhone users won't receive the alerts through Apple's operating system, but they can download the MyShake app.
Also, Google announced that Android phones would begin detecting earthquakes from around the world through their motion- sensing accelerometers. "Your Android phone can be a mini- seismometer(地震仪),joining millions of other Android phones out there to form the world's largest earthquake detection network ,"according to a Google blog post. More than 2 billion devices run the Android operating system.
Hundreds of millions of people live in earthquake-prone areas. But many countries lack the resources to build detection and alert systems, Google said. The information will be used at first to provide fast and accurate information on Google Search. But Google said it could begin sending out earthquake alerts next year.
1.If an earthquake hits the US, who won't receive the earthquake warning
A.Android users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.
B.IPhone users who have downloaded the MyShake app.
C.IPhone users who haven't downloaded the MyShake app.

5.In the Hollywood industry, most of the studios are using AI to make movies for various reasons such as getting the actors out of danger, replacing the actors in different scenes, forming appealing atmosphere to enhance (增强) the views, etc.
Directors and producers are using VFX (Visual effects), animations and AI to make a model that looks like the actor and replaces the actor's place. In particular, AI is used in scenes where actors have to produce certain stunts (特技) to develop setups in the studio artificially. VFX is used to later change the internal studio backgrounds to a different place in the movie.
There are many movies with two characters of the same actor. When AI was not a part of the film, editors used different methods to show the two aspects of the same actor in one scene, but now AI is being used to form the second character of the same actor and is being performed to the viewers.
By a perfect combination of animation, VFX and AI, realistic models are being created. And the most fun part is the fictitious character can hold the face of the actor but the age, hairstyles, and clothing can be changed to create more enhanced looks according to the movie scene and story. With the help of AI, the directors are creating appealing scenes to enhance the thrill and excitement. In Jurassic Park, no dinosaurs were running, but with the help of AI and visual effects, we could enjoy the scenes and the atmospheres.
The directors and the producers direct to form a green screen including the obstacles and those green screens get replaced with the views that are made from AI and VFX, and the actors make the scenes alive and deliver the most suitable action-packed movie scenes. This method also enhances the viewers' experience, which makes the movie a blockbuster (大片).
1.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1
A. How AI helps actors. B. What AI brings to movies.
C. Why AI is applied to movies. D. Where AI is made full use of.
2.What can we infer from paragraph 3
A. AI can be used as an editor. B. Editors consider AI irreplaceable.
C. Editors used many methods to replace AI. D. AI makes what used to be complex scenes easier.
3.What's the author's attitude to using VFX, animations and AI in movies
A. Supportive. B. Skeptical. C. Unconcerned. D. Enthusiastic.
4.Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. What AI Brings Out Hollywood Movies
B. Why AI Is Applied to Hollywood Movies
C. Which Hollywood Movies Make Much Use of AI
D. How AI Is Being Applied to Hollywood Movies
6. In Austin, Texas, a construction technology company, ICON, claims to have America's first 3D-printed homes for sale. Partnering with Kansas City developer 3Strands, the company is building two-to-four-bedroom homes in Austin, the Texas capital.
The 3D-printing construction technology can "precisely(精确地) control the deposition on concrete over a large print area", so it can build a house in weeks, the company said.
In the US, the first 3D-printed housing community will be built in Rancho Mirage, a desert city in California, according to developer Palari. It covers 5 acres, includes 15 houses and is set for completion by next spring. Each house has three bedrooms and two bathrooms on a 10,000-square-foot lot with a swimming pool and deck only for $595,000.
All the houses will be made from 3D-printed panels by Mighty Buildings, an Oakland, California-based construction technology company. The company uses panelized technology, called the "Mighty Kit System", to print a "stone-like" material. Unlike ICON, which works on the building site, Mighty Buildings ships the panels to the site, where they are assembled(聚集).
The houses in the Rancho Mirage project, which always cost three to six months using traditional methods, will take a month to install, Palari CEO Basil Starr told the Los Angeles Times. A typical project of this scale would take around three years, but they are planning for no more than a year and a half, he said.
The pre-sale campaign started in late February and sold out within days, said Starr, adding that most of the buyers were people with practical knowledge or understanding of this kind of technology and a passion for sustainability.
Apart from the construction speed, the companies also stress that 3D printing is more eco-friendly than traditional building methods because 3D printers produce the precise amount of material, while building wood-frame houses will result in construction waste ending up in landfills.
The 3D-printing technology also provides "safer " houses that are designed to withstand fire, flood, wind and other natural disasters better than conventionally built houses, according to ICON.
1.What are the main features of the 3D-printed houses according to the passage
A.Affordable , eco-friendly and safe.
B.Cheap ,comfortable and eco-friendly.
C.Time-saving , safe and practical.
D.Practical , comfortable and cheap.
2.From the passage, which of the following statements is True
A.ICON will work together with developer Palari to build the first 3D-printed housing community .
B.The 3D-printed houses are popular with all citizens.
C.Both ICON and Mighty Buildings will transport the printed materials to the building sites.
D.3D-printing will help save building materials.
3.What is the attitude of the author to the 3D-printing construction technology
A.Neutral. B.Positive. C.Negative. D.Unconcerned.
4.The author writes the text to tell readers _________.
A.the 3D-printed houses are much better than traditional ones
B.the 3D-printing technology is widely used
C.3D-printing construction technology companies
D.3D-printing technology used in construction
7.There's nothing sadder than reading about a lost child in the newspaper or seeing the story of a child gone missing on the news. Fortunately for us as parents there is a way to avoid this type of tragedy through GPS tracking for children. Global positioning system technology can make it so that we need not worry about our children being lost as much as we used to in the past.
GPS systems for kids are small devices that can be worn or implanted （嵌入）in a watch or attached to the child's clothing or backpack. It will then deliver information to you about the child's location at all times providing you with peace of mind. The GPS systems can be programmed to send information in intervals（间隔） as short as 15 seconds.
You can imagine how much more relaxed you would be when you're able to log （登录）into your computer at any time and know within several yards exactly where your child is. Some of the GPS kids units even have a panic button that the child can push to send an immediate alert in case of an emergency. This notification will go both to you and to the GPS tracking service so that authorities can be alerted.
For small children the GPS tracking device can be as small as a watch and will run on batteries （电池）for up to 24 hours before needing to be recharged. For older children you can even place a device in their car to monitor their driving habits and where they are driving. Personal GPS units for kids are not cheap and the smaller the device the higher the price. Can you really say that anything is too expensive when discussing the safety and well being of your children In addition to the cost of the device you will also need to pay a fee to the GPS tracking service. In the world we live in sometimes it is difficult to be too safe and these GPS kids systems can provide many parents with added peace of mind.
1.According to the passage, what can we learn about GPS systems for kids
A. The bigger devices of GPS units for kids usually cost more.
B. They are devices which can help children recognize the direction.
C. They are small devices through which parents can know where the child is.
D. Children can send information through GPS systems for kids only once a day.
2. What does the underlined word "notification" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Signal. B. Plan. C. Letter. D. Machine.
3. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. GPS systems for kids are very cheap for ordinary people.
B. GPS systems for kids should be made smaller in size.
C. GPS systems for kids need more advanced batteries.
D. GPS systems for kids are good value for money.
4. What is the text mainly about
A. Kids safety problems. B. GPS systems used in education for kids.
C. GPS systems for kids. D. Global Positioning System Technology.
8. Wildfires have recently seriously destroyed areas across the world. Hoping to reduce harm, researchers led by Yapei Wang, a chemist at Renmin University of China, say they have developed a sensor to detect such wildfires earlier and with less effort.
Present detection methods rely heavily on human watchfulness, which can delay an effective response. The team says its new sensor can be placed near tree trunks' bases and send a wireless signal to a nearby receiver if there is a sharp temperature increase. That heat also powers the sensor itself, with no need to replace batteries. The sudden temperature change will give off electrons (电子) to move within the liquids, creating electrical energy to send the signal.
McCarty, a geographer at Miami University says places such as San Diego—where wild land and city meet—could benefit from sensors like this. When a fire breaks out in a valley that extends to someone's property, she says, with such a device, "as a homeowner, you will know it earlier than the fire agency." And she adds that it is even more important to improve cooperation among the different agencies involved in firefighting.
Wang says his team's next steps are to extend the device's signal range beyond the present100 meters, which can limit its practical use, and to develop a protective cover for it. The sensor's effectiveness, Wang notes, will also need to be tested in the field.
1. What can we learn about the new sensor
A. It replaces batteries itself. B. It produces response more easily.
C. It depends on human observation. D. It sends a wireless signal continuously.
2. What's McCarty's attitude towards the new sensor
A. Critical. B. Ambiguous. C. Supportive. D. Indifferent.
3. What will probably be talked about if the passage continues
A. How people use the new sensor. B. How much the new sensor costs.
C. How the new sensor comes into effect. D. How Wang's team better the new sensor.
4. What's the best title for the text
A. A research into wildfires. B. A widely accepted new sensor.
C. A new senor to detect wildfires. D. Different opinions on a new sensor.
