Ⅰ.阅读理解ASometimes it takes a work of art to give the inspiration for advances in science.For example,Elon Musk’s dream of humans living on other planets was first inspired by a space-themed movie.Jeff Bezos,a massive fan of the space television series,founded his very own space company.Let’s explore some of the technologies from science fiction that have been brought to life.Remote ControlFrank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune features a small flying robot device that is piloted remotely,one of the earliest appearances of drones in science fiction.With the first permit for commercial drone use in the USA given in 2006,drones became a reality,and can now be found taking on multiple roles in photography,farming and military.From Thin AirThe television show may inspire science.One of the most unexpected examples may be the 3D printer.In the programme,a device can create any object desired within a matter of seconds.Researchers at the University of California,Berkeley,the USA,developed a 3D printer in 2019 that shapes objects using rays of light.The device uses light to alter the density of resin (树脂),changing the material from a liquid to a solid in order to shape the desired object.Starting the HeartEarl Bakken,the inventor of the pacemaker (起搏器),a device placed into the chest that helps the heart to pump blood using small electrical impulses,was inspired by the 1931 movie adaptation of a book.Defibrillators (除颤仪),which restart the heart with an electrical current after a cardiac arrest (心脏停搏),also resemble the electric shock that gave the monster life.( )1.Whose work inspired science A.Elon Musk’s.B.Jeff Bezos’s.C.Frank Herbert’s.D.Earl Bakken’s.( )2.Which of the following can create new things from “nowhere” A.Drones. B.3D printers.C.Pacemakers. D.Defibrillators.( )3.Which can be summarised from the passage A.Science fiction thinks big.B.Technology flies out of our imagination.C.Imagination leads to advanced civilisation.D.Scientific development relies on technology.BMr Watson is late again.He has no time for breakfast.But at least he has the basic necessities: bang on the minute,the coffee machine supplies his first hot drink.The motion sensor is activated and notifies the garage door,which now opens.In all the rush,he has forgotten to switch off the iron and light.No problem.He deals with that while underway via his smartphone.What Mr Watson benefits from is the idea of Smart Home,an idea more topical and attractive than ever.But what does “Smart Home” mean “Smart Home” is an indicator of the use of technical systems,automated processes and connected,remote-controlled devices in apartments and houses.The main objective of the functions is to improve the quality of life and convenience in the home.Other goals are greater security and more efficient use of energy thanks to connected,remote-controllable devices.“Smart Home” was brought to life through continuous technological progress,in particular through the Internet and computer.Science fiction literature in the 1950s described the first visions of homes that were monitored and controlled fully automatically by machines.The 1999 film “Smart House” was about household computers and the consequences when smart machines took on a life of their own.The Fraunhofer inHaus Centre,which was opened in Duisburg in 2001,was a lighthouse project which involved exploring and testing new system solutions in a residential environment.The first T-Com House from Deutsche Telekom in Berlin was opened to interested visitors in 2005.The focus of this model project was on connecting various home appliances and controlling them by means of different input devices.Scientists have already been working for decades of years on “Smart Home”.There are still challenges as a result of trends like an aging society,greater environmental awareness and the related wish for a sustainable energy supply.But there are more solutions.What is the next big evolutionary advance ( )4.How does the author introduce the topic in Paragraph 1 A.By giving a definition.B.By describing a scene.C.By making a prediction.D.By providing evidence.( )5.What can be learnt about Smart Home A.It is a newly-formed concept.B.It involves energy-consuming devices.C.It values security more than efficiency.D.It’s not all about comfort and convenience.( )6.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3 A.Smart Home has changed people’s lives a lot.B.Smart Home is equipped with advanced devices.C.Smart Home develops with technological advances.D.Smart Home is favoured by more than one generation.( )7.What is the author’s attitude to the future of Smart Home A.Concerned. B.Doubtful.C.Cautious. D.Hopeful.Ⅱ.完形填空When people talk about the future,we like to think that we will be able to drive out of our garages and take to the 1 in our own personal flying car.The advantages are obvious.Some people 2 this technology will allow to complete three-dimensional freedom of movement.We could fly at 489 kilometres per hour, 3 traffic lights,busy roads and speeding tickets.However,some people point to the disadvantages of flying cars.They claim that there are certain to be problems with traffic 4 .Another big problem is mechanical 5 .What will happen if they break down 6 ,if they become popular,there is likely to be another big problem: air traffic congestion.So it looks like flying cars face more than a few problems if they are to get off the ground! Most of us have printed out an electronic document on paper,but think about the 7 of printing out a three-dimensional object in plastic.3D printers build an object using layers line-by-line like a(n) 8 printer until the object is complete.Some vehicle companies have already used 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts.At the moment the process is slow and quality is 9 ,but before long it might be possible to see a product on a website and then 10 it to your printer at home.In the future we could make our own furniture,jewellery,cups,plates,shoes and toys from designs on our computers,and reduce the amount of 11 we have to do. Imagine having your own robot suit.There are several companies trying to build a practical robot.This is a suit of robot arms and legs which follows your 12 .It will allow the wearer to lift heavy objects,walk long distances and even punch through walls! There are 13 military advantages for this technology and might help people to walk again after disease or injury.However,besides cost and battery life,another problem is that a badly 14 robot suit could injure the wearer because you wouldn’t want your robot leg or arm bending the 15 way.
