A
Future home technologies you should know in advance
Here are some of the future home technologies that everyone should know about.
Automated Robots
A robot made by scientists in Germany does more than clean the floor. The one-armed, three-fingered device can pick up items, tidy up, run various machines and even serve drinks to guests.
Lighting Controls
Turning on a light from a wall switch is out of date now. Lights can now be controlled from mobile equipment, touchscreens or an automated system. NEST, a smart thermostat (恒温器) produced by Google, can even be programmed to turn on lights in your home and cool the air inside at various times of the day or night.
Power Tracking or Energy Efficient Tech
Think of an energy system that can tell you when you need to go over your power budget (预算) for the month. The Total Home Energy Management program created by an American company does just that. It tracks a home’s energy use and relevant costs. It can even analyze devices in the home and tell owners when they need to be upgraded to more energy-efficient ones. Besides, it can constantly add new functions and become a more useful system.
Smart Toilets
There are toilets in Japan that will perform an analysis after people do their business, and then inform them whether they have diabetes (糖尿病) or are at risk of it. Toilets may soon be able to tell that someone has colon cancer (结肠癌).
1. What can the robot do for its owner
A. Repair machines. B. Clean the house.
C. Cool the air inside. D. Pay electricity bills.
2. What do NEST and Total Home Energy Management have in common
A. They both are energy-efficient.
B. They both can control the lights.
C. They both are created in the USA.
D They both can upgrade automatically.
3. Which of the following is a feature of the smart toilets
A. Disease examination function. B. Touchscreen controlling.
C. Energy-saving performance. D. Intelligent heated seating.
【答案】1. B 2. C 3. A
【解析】

Jane Goodall is a famous animal behaviorist and has spent many years observing the behavior of chimps in their native habitat. Jane Goodall was born on April 3rd, 1934 in London, England. Her childhood dream was to spend time with animals in the wild. In particular, she was drawn to Africa and the dream of seeing wild animals in their native habitat. It was an unusual dream for a girl at the time, but her parents said to her, “We know it’s different, but we are at your back.”
In 1956, Jane jumped at the opportunity to travel to a friend’s farm in Kenya. It was there that Jane met the famous anthropologist, Dr. Louis S.B. Leakey. Leakey was impressed with Jane’s passion and knowledge of Africa and wildlife.
In 1960, Leakey and Jane began an important study of wild chimps by Lake Tanganyika. The chimps showed some fascinating habits to the group. These included meat eating, which is completely different from the previous opinion about chimps. Also, Jane saw chimps making tools to catch insects. This was an important discovery because, at the time, it was assumed only humans made tools.
The study of chimps in their native habitat was a significant event, leading to many new observations. Jane’s first article My life among wild chimpanzees was published in National Geographic in 1963. Some aspects of the study were challenged. For example, some feared her decision to feed the animals might have distorted their behavior and made them more aggressive (好斗的).
In 1977, Jane set up the Jane Goodall Institute which promotes plans to look after chimps and their environment. The institute has many networks and programs all over the world.
4. How did Jane Goodall’s parents respond to her childhood dream
A. They supported her. B. They laughed at her.
C. They worried about her. D. They got angry with her.
5. What did people think of chimps previously
A. Chimps were used to living alone.
B. Chimps were good at making tools.
C. Chimps were thought not to eat meat.
D. Chimps liked eating insects very much.
6. What does the underlined word “distorted” in the last but one paragraph mean
A. Affected B. Trained C. Protected D. Controlled
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The secrets of chimpanzees
B. The mysteries of African land
C. Jane Goodall—a friend of the wild world
D. Jane Goodall—a woman living with chimps
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. C

According to a recent report published in Nature, the threats tigers face are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and above all, the widening of transportation networks.
Different from other threats, the threat caused by transportation networks has been poorly studied, but the few studies that exist show strong effects. In Russia, vehicle accidents caused one in every 12 deaths of tigers from 1992 to 2005. In India, one study assumed that widening highways would increase tiger extinction risk by 56 percent over 100 years. The growing networks of transportation could therefore be a serious disaster for tigers.
In Nepal, GPS collars (项圈) are reported to be placed on tigers living near roads to better understand the influence of transportation. By using modern tracking technology, the collars connect to GPS satellites, providing detailed information on tiger locations. The data shows how tigers move before and after crossing the road, where and how they hunt near roads, how they respond to vehicle traffic at different times of the day, and what their behavior patterns are near roads as compared with far away from roads.
With these findings, we can predict (预言) a range of impacts on tiger habitat and population from new transportation projects. We can rebuild tiger habitat in areas that are important to tiger reproduction (繁殖). Planners can design and locate wildlife crossings to help tigers cross roads and railways. And we can put up speed limit signs to reduce the risk of tigers being killed in traffic.
Over time, this technology will provide solutions that can ensure roads work for humans while reducing damage to tigers and other species at risk.
8. What is the report published in Nature probably about
A. The loss of tiger habitat.
B. Human-animal relationships.
C. Threats to the survival of tigers.
D. Impacts of transportation networks.
9. How does the author illustrate the effects of transportation networks on tigers
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples.
C. By quoting from experts. D. By making a comparison.
10. What is the function of a GPS collar
A. It keeps a record of tigers’ movement.
B. It improves tigers’ behavior patterns.
C. It provides information for drivers.
D. It guides tigers through the road safely.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了交通网络的扩大对老虎生存构成的威胁以及人们对此采取的一些应对措施。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent report published in Nature, the threats tigers face are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and above all, the widening of transportation networks.(根据最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一份报告，老虎面临的威胁是栖息地的丧失、非法狩猎，最重要的是，交通网络的扩大。)”可知，发表在《自然》杂志上的报告是关于老虎生存面临的威胁。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“In Russia, vehicle accidents caused one in every 12 deaths of tigers from 1992 to 2005. In India, one study assumed that widening highways would increase tiger extinction risk by 56 percent over 100 years.(在俄罗斯，从1992年到2005年，每12只老虎中就有1只死于车祸。在印度，一项研究认为，在100年内，拓宽高速公路将使老虎灭绝的风险增加56%。)”可知，作者通过举例子来说明交通网络对老虎的影响。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“By using modern tracking technology, the collars connect to GPS satellites, providing detailed information on tiger locations. The data shows how tigers move before and after crossing the road, where and how they hunt near roads, how they respond to vehicle traffic at different times of the day, and what their behavior patterns are near roads as compared with far away from roads.(通过使用现代跟踪技术，项圈连接到GPS卫星，提供老虎位置的详细信息。这些数据显示了老虎在过马路前后是如何移动的，它们在公路附近的什么地方以及如何捕猎，它们在一天中的不同时间对车辆交通的反应，以及它们在公路附近和远离公路时的行为模式。)”可知，GPS项圈的功能是记录老虎的移动。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“According to a recent report published in Nature, the threats tigers face are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and above all, the widening of transportation networks.(根据最近发表在《自然》杂志上的一份报告，老虎面临的威胁是栖息地的丧失、非法狩猎，最重要的是，交通网络的扩大。)”可知，这段文章最有可能来自一篇杂志。故选D项。

I read Newport’s book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, which he published in 2016. In this book, Newport makes the persuasive argument that highly focused work is increasingly not common in the modern workplace.
People are easy to get distracted (分心), whether they’re surfing the Internet for entertainment or wasting time on tasks like email and meetings. However, those who are able to push their cognitive (认知的) abilities to the limit can create new value and improve their skills. In other words, training one’s mind to focus on deep work not only makes one efficient and produces valuable work, but it also secures one’s place in a quickly changing economy.
Part I of Newport’s book explains the importance of deep work. Part II explores the process of how to develop such a practice in one’s own life by following four rules: (1) Work deeply; (2) Accept boredom; (3) Quit social media; (4) Remove shallow things.
Newport praises the importance of daily laziness in this book, writing, “Add regular and great freedom from professional concerns into your day, providing you with the idleness (闲散) required to get deep work done.” He advises doing this by shutting everything down at the end of the workday.
Deep Work is packed with useful tips and tools for making meaningful changes. Since picking up the book several weeks ago, I’ve been using bits and pieces of the philosophy, such as leaving my phone on silent all day long and checking it only at predetermined times, and not allowing myself to look things up online until I’ve finished writing an article. Now I’m able to start additional projects that I’ve been wanting to do but haven’t felt like I had the time before.
12. Which of the following is a benefit of deep work
A. Avoiding boredom.
B. Increasing job security.
C. Keeping away from social media.
D. Adapting to new changes quickly.
13. What is stressed in this book according to Paragraph 4
A. The significance of relaxing. B. Ways of reducing concerns.
C. The advice on deep work. D. Benefits of being lazy.
14. What can we learn from the story in the last paragraph
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. The old methods still work today.
C. It is difficult to put theory into practice.
D. Concentration helps improve work efficiency.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. A life experience. B. A best-selling writer.
C. An introduction to a book. D. A study on concentration.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一本名为Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World的书。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In other words, training one’s mind to focus on deep work not only makes one efficient and produces valuable work, but it also secures one’s place in a quickly changing economy.(换句话说，训练一个人的思想专注于深度工作，不仅使一个人效率高、工作有价值，而且还能确保一个人在快速变化的经济中占有一席之地。)”可知，深度工作的好处之一是可以提高工作的保障。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Newport praises the importance of daily laziness in this book, writing, “Add regular and great freedom from professional concerns into your day, providing you with the idleness (闲散) required to get deep work done.” He advises doing this by shutting everything down at the end of the workday.( Newport在书中赞扬了日常懒惰重要性，他写道:“在你的日常生活中加入定期的、从工作中解脱出来的自由，为你提供完成深入工作所需的空闲时间。”他建议在工作日结束时关掉所有的东西。)”可知，该书强调了放松的意义。故选A项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Deep Work is packed with useful tips and tools for making meaningful changes. Since picking up the book several weeks ago, I’ve been using bits and pieces of the philosophy, such as leaving my phone on silent all day long and checking it only at predetermined times, and not allowing myself to look things up online until I’ve finished writing an article. Now I’m able to start additional projects that I’ve been wanting to do but haven’t felt like I had the time before.( Deep Work提供了很多有用的技巧和工具，可以做出有意义的改变。自从几周前拿起这本书以来，我一直在零星地使用其中的哲理，比如一整天都把手机调成静音，只在预定的时间查看手机，在写完一篇文章之前不允许自己上网查东西。现在我可以开始做一些我一直想做但却没有时间做的额外的项目了。)”可知，注意力集中有助于提高工作效率。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“I read Newport’s book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, which he published in 2016. In this book, Newport makes the persuasive argument that highly focused work is increasingly not common in the modern workplace.(我读了Newport 2016年出版的Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World。在这本书中，Newport提出了一个有说服力的论点，即高度专注的工作在现代工作场所越来越不常见。)”以及全文可知，文章介绍了一本名为Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World的书。C项“一本书的简介”能概括文章大意。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了“提倡休闲时间”的重要性。休闲时间很重要的主要原因是它给了一个人专注于其他更有压力的日常活动所需的平衡。这有助于教会他们有价值的生活技能，比如社会可接受的行为。
36题详解】
考查过去分词作后置定语。句意：休闲时间很重要的主要原因是它给了一个人专注于其他更有压力的日常活动所需的平衡。表语从句中已有谓语动词gives，因此空处为非谓语动词，the balance和need之间是被动关系，是过去分词作后置定语。故答案为needed。
【37题详解】
考查名词作宾语。句意：闲暇时间可以缓解悲伤和压力，也可以改善一个人的身心健康。谓语动词relieves后面用名词作宾语，所给词sad是形容词，其名词是sadness。故答案为sadness。
【38题详解】
考查形容词作定语。句意：花时间做一些愉快的休闲活动可以让人的大脑从日常压力中得到休息。空后activities是名词，由形容词修饰，enjoy的形容词是enjoyable，意为“令人愉快的，有乐趣的”。故答案为enjoyable。
【39题详解】
考查介词或并列连词。句意：把工作和休闲时间结合起来可以让人们在工作时更加专注和高效。固定搭配：combine…with/and…“把……和……结合在一起”。故答案为with/and。
【40题详解】
考查动名词作宾语。句意：体育休闲活动，除了使心灵平静，也有助于保持身体健康。固定搭配：apart from“除了……之外，还有……”，其中介词from后面用动名词作宾语。故答案为calming。
【41题详解】
考查动词不定式作后置定语。句意：高质量的休闲时间也很重要，因为它有能力提高一个人的沟通技巧和自尊。名词ability后面常用不定式作后置定语。故答案为to improve。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意：通过参加基于共同兴趣的集体休闲活动，如读书俱乐部、绘画俱乐部或锻炼小组，人们可以扩大他们的朋友圈。固定搭配：be based on/upon“以……为基础”。故答案为on/upon。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句引导词。句意：团体活动对那些害羞的人也有好处。此处those是先行词，指人，在后面的定语从句中作主语，定语从句由关系代词who引导。故答案为who。
【44题详解】
考查不定冠词。句意：参加各种休闲活动也是孩子们的好榜样。此处model是可数名词，且good是以辅音音素开头的词，所以前面加a，表示泛指。故答案为a。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：这有助于教会他们有价值的生活技能，比如社会可接受的行为。此处acceptable是形容词，由副词修饰，所给词social是形容词，其副词是socially。故答案为socially。
五、用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。(每小题4分，满分20分)
46. Being loved and accepted by others can give us a feeling of ________ (secure).(所给词的适当形式填空)

Future home technologies you should know in advance
Here are some of the future home technologies that everyone should know about.
Automated Robots
A robot made by scientists in Germany does more than clean the floor. The one-armed three-fingered device can pick up items, tidy up, run various machines and even serve drinks to guests.
Lighting Controls
Turning on a light from a wall switch is out of date now. Lights can now be controlled from mobile equipment, touchscreens or an automated system. NEST, a smart thermostat (恒温器) produced by Google, can even be programmed to turn on lights in your home and cool the air inside at various times of the day or night.
Power Tracking or Energy Efficient Tech
Think of an energy system that can tell you when you need to go over your power budget (预算) for the month. The Total Home Energy Management program created by an American company does just that. It tracks a home’s energy use and relevant costs. It can even analyze devices in the home and tell owners when they need to be upgraded to more energy-efficient ones. Besides, it can constantly add new functions and become a more useful system.
Smart Toilets
There are toilets in Japan that will perform an analysis after people do their business, and then inform them whether they have diabetes (糖尿病) or are at risk of it. Toilets may soon be able to tell that someone has colon cancer (结肠癌).
1. What can the robot do for its owner
A. Repair machines. B. Clean the house.
C. Cool the air inside. D. Pay electricity bills.
2. What do NEST and Total Home Energy Management have in common
A. They both are energy-efficient.
B. They both can control the lights.
C. They both are created in the USA.
D They both can upgrade automatically.
3. Which of the following is a feature of the smart toilets
A. Disease examination function. B. Touchscreen controlling.

Jane Goodall is a famous animal behaviorist and has spent many years observing the behavior of chimps in their native habitat. Jane Goodall was born on April 3rd, 1934 in London, England. Her childhood dream was to spend time with animals in the wild. In particular, she was drawn to Africa and the dream of seeing wild animals in their native habitat. It was an unusual dream for a girl at the time, but her parents said to her, “We know it’s different, but we are at your back.”
In 1956, Jane jumped at the opportunity to travel to a friend’s farm in Kenya. It was there that Jane met the famous anthropologist, Dr. Louis S.B. Leakey. Leakey was impressed with Jane’s passion and knowledge of Africa and wildlife.
In 1960, Leakey and Jane began an important study of wild chimps by Lake Tanganyika. The chimps showed some fascinating habits to the group. These included meat eating, which is completely different from the previous opinion about chimps. Also, Jane saw chimps making tools to catch insects. This was an important discovery because, at the time, it was assumed only humans made tools.
The study of chimps in their native habitat was a significant event, leading to many new observations. Jane’s first article My life among wild chimpanzees was published in National Geographic in 1963. Some aspects of the study were challenged. For example, some feared her decision to feed the animals might have distorted their behavior and made them more aggressive (好斗的).
In 1977, Jane set up the Jane Goodall Institute which promotes plans to look after chimps and their environment. The institute has many networks and programs all over the world.
4. How did Jane Goodall’s parents respond to her childhood dream
A. They supported her. B. They laughed at her.
C. They worried about her. D. They got angry with her.
5. What did people think of chimps previously
A. Chimps were used to living alone.
B. Chimps were good at making tools.
C. Chimps were thought not to eat meat.
D. Chimps liked eating insects very much.
6. What does the underlined word “distorted” in the last but one paragraph mean
A. Affected B. Trained C. Protected D. Controlled
7. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. The secrets of chimpanzees
B. The mysteries of African land
C. Jane Goodall—a friend of the wild world
D. Jane Goodall—a woman living with chimps
C
According to a recent report published in Nature, the threats tigers face are habitat loss, illegal hunting, and above all, the widening of transportation networks.
Different from other threats, the threat caused by transportation networks has been poorly studied, but the few studies that exist show strong effects. In Russia, vehicle accidents caused one in every 12 deaths of tigers from 1992 to 2005. In India, one study assumed that widening highways would increase tiger extinction risk by 56 percent over 100 years. The growing networks of transportation could therefore be a serious disaster for tigers.
In Nepal, GPS collars (项圈) are reported to be placed on tigers living near roads to better understand the influence of transportation. By using modern tracking technology, the collars connect to GPS satellites, providing detailed information on tiger locations. The data shows how tigers move before and after crossing the road, where and how they hunt near roads, how they respond to vehicle traffic at different times of the day, and what their behavior patterns are near roads as compared with far away from roads.
With these findings, we can predict (预言) a range of impacts on tiger habitat and population from new transportation projects. We can rebuild tiger habitat in areas that are important to tiger reproduction (繁殖). Planners can design and locate wildlife crossings to help tigers cross roads and railways. And we can put up speed limit signs to reduce the risk of tigers being killed in traffic.
Over time, this technology will provide solutions that can ensure roads work for humans while reducing damage to tigers and other species at risk.
8. What is the report published in Nature probably about
A. The loss of tiger habitat.
B. Human-animal relationships.
C. Threats to the survival of tigers.
D. Impacts of transportation networks.
9. How does the author illustrate the effects of transportation networks on tigers
A. By telling a story. B. By giving examples.
C. By quoting from experts. D. By making a comparison.
10. What is the function of a GPS collar
A. It keeps a record of tigers’ movement.
B. It improves tigers’ behavior patterns.
C. It provides information for drivers.
D. It guides tigers through the road safely.
11. Where is the text most likely from
A. A diary. B. A guidebook.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.

I read Newport’s book, Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World, which he published in 2016. In this book, Newport makes the persuasive argument that highly focused work is increasingly not common in the modern workplace.
People are easy to get distracted (分心), whether they’re surfing the Internet for entertainment or wasting time on tasks like email and meetings. However, those who are able to push their cognitive (认知的) abilities to the limit can create new value and improve their skills. In other words, training one’s mind to focus on deep work not only makes one efficient and produces valuable work, but it also secures one’s place in a quickly changing economy.
Part I of Newport’s book explains the importance of deep work. Part II explores the process of how to develop such a practice in one’s own life by following four rules: (1) Work deeply; (2) Accept boredom; (3) Quit social media; (4) Remove shallow things.
Newport praises the importance of daily laziness in this book, writing, “Add regular and great freedom from professional concerns into your day, providing you with the idleness (闲散) required to get deep work done.” He advises doing this by shutting everything down at the end of the workday.
Deep Work is packed with useful tips and tools for making meaningful changes. Since picking up the book several weeks ago, I’ve been using bits and pieces of the philosophy, such as leaving my phone on silent all day long and checking it only at predetermined times, and not allowing myself to look things up online until I’ve finished writing an article. Now I’m able to start additional projects that I’ve been wanting to do but haven’t felt like I had the time before.
12. Which of the following is a benefit of deep work
A. Avoiding boredom.
B. Increasing job security.
C. Keeping away from social media.
D. Adapting to new changes quickly.
13 What is stressed in this book according to Paragraph 4
A. The significance of relaxing. B. Ways of reducing concerns.
C. The advice on deep work. D. Benefits of being lazy.
14. What can we learn from the story in the last paragraph
A. Interest is the best teacher.
B. The old methods still work today.
C. It is difficult to put theory into practice.
D. Concentration helps improve work efficiency.
15. What’s the text mainly about
A. A life experience. B. A best-selling writer.
C. An introduction to a book. D. A study on concentration.
