Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
　　Researchers are trying to explore creative ways to reduce e-waste.Now one team has invented a water-activated battery (水激活电池) made of paper and other sustainable (可持续的) materials.
Some e-waste is relatively large:old phones and air conditioners,for instance.Other e-waste is more unnoticeable,such as batteries.It’s these small batteries that are big problems.Nobody really pays attention to where they end up.Researchers at the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology are working to address this problem.They invented a water-activated paper battery using environmentally friendly materials that could eventually replace the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices.
A traditional battery is made of plastic,metal or other harmful materials.
The paper battery works the same as a traditional battery.It has a positively charged (带电的) side,a negatively charged side,and a conductive material (传导材料) between the two.In the new battery,the positively and negatively charged sides are inks printed onto the front and back of a piece of paper.That paper is filled with salt,which dissolves(溶解) when the paper is wet.When the paper is dry,the battery is off.Once the paper is wet,the battery activates within 20 seconds.The new battery’s operating performance worsens as the paper dries.
When the scientists rewet the paper during testing,the battery begins to work again and lasts an hour before beginning to dry out again.
Although the researchers showed that their battery could power an alarm clock,it is unlikely to replace standard batteries now.It is hard to predict a time line for producing such batteries in a large number,but that future may not be so far off.
“This really starts with the development of sustainable materials,” Nystr m,the lead author,explains.“From there,I think we are able to create something that is quite useful.”
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章介绍了一个研究小组发明了一种由纸和其他可持续材料制成的水激活电池。
(　　)1.Why did the researchers invent the new batteries
[A] To replace harmful batteries.
[B] To develop sustainable materials.
[C] To power common devices.
[D] To make e-waste more noticeable.
A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,研究者发明新电池是为了取代旧的有害的电池。故选A。
(　　)2.In what aspect are the traditional and the new batteries different
[A] Sizes.
[B] Usages.
[C] Materials.
[D] Purposes.
C
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,这种新电池使用了环保材料,根据第三段第一句可知,传统电池使用的是塑料、金属或者其他有害材料。由此可知,新的电池与传统电池在材料方面不同。故选C。
(　　)3.What do we know about the paper used in the new batteries
[A] It dries within 20 seconds.
[B] It can be used many times.
[C] It only has ink on the front side.
[D] It breaks easily in salt water.
B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“When the paper is dry...before beginning to dry out again.”可知,当纸干了,电池就失效,纸再次被打湿后,电池又可以使用。由此推知,这种纸可以被多次使用。故选B。
(　　)4.What can be inferred about the new battery from the last two paragraphs
[A] It stores huge power.
[B] It takes ages to make it.
[C] It has been put into market.
[D] It has a promising future.
D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句可知,大规模生产这种电池的时间不会很遥远,结合最后一段可知,Nystr m认为这是一种非常有用的东西。由此推知,这种新电池有广阔的前景。故选D。(共84张PPT)

写作指导
One possible version:
I have some difficulties in taking notes during class, because our teachers often speak so quickly that I can’t follow them.Last month, I got a special pen from Mr Smith.
It was invented by Mr Smith in October last year.Not only can it help me take notes in class automatically, but it also can record what teachers have said during class.While it is taking notes on its own, I can pay more attention to what teachers are saying.Besides, it is of great benefit in helping me go over the lessons after class.In this way, I can improve my grades.
I think many students have the same problem with me.Such a special pen can deal with it.

I am a frequent interstate (跨州) traveller.I was born in Ontario,
Canada and thus all my family except my husband and children live there.So three times a year I make a trip north from Georgia to visit.
Two years ago I went up in the spring and brought one of my sisters south for a month to take away the pains of a long winter.This year I did the same.It was interesting that many of my friends asked me “Aren’t you scared ” or “What if your car breaks down ” I always answered I believed in myself.My husband was a car engineer and he would come for me if I needed help.
Here was how my “miracle (奇迹)” happened on Interstate 85 North in South Carolina.Heading north to take my 63-year-old sister back home to Canada,we were chatting away and I was driving 70 miles per hour in the third lane (车道).Yes,the fastest lane.All of a sudden,my car started to lose power.I said anxiously to my sister about the accident.I was driving at about 40 miles per hour when I got to the first exit.Finally I arrived at a Citgo station and pulled over by the road.
I immediately called my husband but he didn’t answer.I was getting pretty upset wondering what I should do next.I got out of the car and looked under it and smelled the gas.Then I checked the oil and water.It seemed something was wrong with them.So my sister went into the gas station and asked the employee if he knew anyone who could help us.

　　Smartphones have changed people’s lives in so many ways.They help people communicate,navigate,remember to pick up the laundry,and more.
Now,smartphones may also help keep people safe while they travel.
A study,published in the journal Nature Communications Engineering,
led by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Senseable City Laboratory,has shown that smartphone sensors are nearly as good at collecting information about bridge safety as sensors.The researchers conducted the study on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and a smaller bridge in Ciampino.
The researchers drove over the Golden Gate Bridge,their sensor apps running,one hundred and two times.They also gave the apps to seventy-two drivers who regularly cross the bridge over the course of their days.Once they had the data from the phones,they compared that data to the information from two hundred and forty sensors that had been placed on the bridge.Surprisingly,they found that the data from their phones pretty much matched the data from the sensors.
In Italy,the researchers collected the data from two hundred and eighty trips across the bridge,and compared it to the data from six sensors that had been placed on the bridge.Though the results differed a bit,the results were still quite similar.
“We still have work to do,but we believe that our approach could be scaled up easily—all the way to the level of an entire country,” told a researcher.“It might not reach the accuracy that one can get using fixed sensors installed on a bridge,but it could become a very interesting early-warning system.Small differences could then suggest when to carry out further analyses.”
Millions of smartphone-carrying people drive over bridges every day.If the new method is put into use,it will go a long way towards making bridges much safer.
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了智能手机传感器在收集桥梁安全信息方面的表现几乎与安装在桥梁上的传感器一样,都可以很好地检测桥梁的状况。

8.【答案】 distance
【解析】 考查名词。at a distance意为“在远处”,是固定搭配。故填distance。
9.【答案】 beneficial
【解析】 考查形容词。设空处应用形容词作表语,beneficial意为“有益的”。故填beneficial。
10.【答案】 without

What will you be doing this time tomorrow
明天这个时候你会在做什么呢
What will you do tomorrow

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
　　Imagine you have a picture puzzle with 10,000 pieces but no picture on a box.In fact,you don’t even have the box — it was destroyed nearly 2,000 years ago.These puzzle pieces are the remains of frescoes (壁画) in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.Some pieces are missing;others are broken.How would you solve this puzzle
Scientists at the Italian Institute of Technology have a plan:send in the robot.Their project called RePAIR (Reconstructing the Past:Artificial Intelligence and Robotics meet Cultural Heritage) combines robotics,AI and archaeology (考古学) in an attempt to reconstruct architectural characters of Pompeii,because they’re either too complex or they would require impossible amounts of human labor and time.
RePAIR’s unnamed robot must have a combination of brains,strength and a sensitive touch.The brains will come from a mix of the high-tech computer’s ability to scan the fresco puzzle pieces,machine-learning algorithms (算法) to solve the puzzles and human expert skills to guide the AI.
In Pompeii,the researchers are in the process of manually digitizing every fresco piece in two test sites to create a digital database for the RePAIR robot.But once the whole system is fully operational,the robot will do the scanning process itself.
RePAIR is experimental.“We are focusing mainly on frescoes and we’ll bring them back to life.But that’s just the case study.If we succeed,
we think we can export this technology to other objects or even,to other fields,” says Pelillo,a professor of the University of Venice.
The RePAIR scientists aim to apply the robot in Pompeii in the near future.They have some time to experiment.
【语篇导读】 本文是新闻报道。文章主要讲的是意大利理工学院的科学家们计划运用机器人结合人工智能和考古学来再现庞贝古城的建筑特征。
(　　)1.Why is a picture puzzle mentioned in Paragraph 1
[A] To establish its connection with the project.
[B] To express the challenge of repairing frescoes.
[C] To show the complexity of solving the puzzle.
[D] To tell the exact number of the pieces of frescoes.
B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“These puzzle pieces are...others are broken.”可知,在第一段中提到拼图游戏是为了表达修复壁画具有挑战性。故选B。
(　　)2.What does the underlined word “manually” in Paragraph 4 mean
[A] By hand.
[B] In a hurry.
[C] By machine.
[D] At a slow pace.
A
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据第四段中的“the researchers”和“digitizing every fresco...for the RePAIR robot”可知,画线词所在句子表示的是:研究人员正在对两个测试地点的每一幅壁画碎片进行手工数字化,为“RePAIR”机器人创建一个数据库。因此画线词的意思是“用手工”,和by hand意思一致。故选A。
(　　)3.What can be inferred about the project from Pelillo
[A] It will benefit all the research fields soon.
[B] It is intended to study other cultural objects.
[C] It will rely on more technology to be functional.
