Unit2(2022·四川凉山·高二期末) A new phone app uses vibrations (振动) from smart phones to alert people about earthquakes.The phone app recognizes sudden shaking of the earth’s surface through sensors (传感器) in smart phones. The new app is called MyShake. It is the work of four researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. They said they created a worldwide warning system that would inform people and give them time to prepare. The MyShake app is available only for Android phones.Smart phones are equipped with accelerometers (加速计) . These instruments measure movement, like that of a car or airplane. They can also measure the shaking of a machine, building or other structure. Accelerometers are used in activity trackers and apps that count steps or other exercise. They are also used in global positioning system (GPS) apps.MyShake uses phone accelerometers to measure seismic (地震引起的) activity. It has been programmed to know the difference between normal activity and earthquake movement. The software developers say their app is right 93 percent of the time. A smart phone sends seismic information to the app developers. If the developers receive information from one area, it recognizes that an earthquake may be taking place or will take place soon. Using information sent from the app, the network then estimates the location and strength of the quake in real time. MyShake can record magnitude (规模) 5. 0 earthquakes at distances of 10 kilometers or less. MyShake uses very little power, according to its developers. Only when seismic activity is sensed by the app does it become active and sends data to the network.The app works best when your phone is resting on a flat surface, like a table. The app also shows ways to stay safer during an earthquake. The developers say it will become more effective as more people use it.1 ．What can we know about MyShake?A ．It can be applied to all kinds of phones.B ．It serves as a worldwide warning system.C ．It’s the name of a new smart phone.D ．It can prevent and stop the movement of the earth.2 ．How can the phone app feel the earth’s shaking?A ．Through vibrations from smart phones.B ．Through information in smart phones.C ．Through sensors in smart phones.D ．Through accelerometers in smart phones.3 ．Why are accelerometers used in MyShake?A ．To locate where the user is.B ．To count steps or other exercise.C ．To measure seismic activity.D ．To measure the shaking of building.4 ．What’s th e best title for the text?A ．A New Phone App Feels EarthquakesB ．A New Phone App Prevents EarthquakesC ．A New Phone App Keeps You Safe in the EarthquakeD ．A New Phone App Makes Smart Phones More Effective(2022·四川省德阳中学校高二期末) Here are some of the interesting inventions in 2021. Which one are you most excited about?PurrbleIt comes to the rescue for anxious kids. This toy has seven sensors that respond to touch. Purrble’s heartbeat speeds up when you play with the toy. Then you comfort it by petting it, which slows its heartbeat down. It calms you too. In a study of 20 families, 19 parents said Purrble helped their kids calm down.Revolve AirAndrea Mocellin is a former sports-car designer, who is using his skills to build a wheelchair called Revolve Air that has wheels with a hexagon(六边形) structure. And they fold up, which allows the chair to take up 600 less space than a standard folding wheelchair. Mocellin aims to get it out by mid-2022. He has nearly 12,000 customers on his waiting list.OrCam ReadReading is a challenge for millions of people who may struggle with poor eyesight or other problems. But with computer vision and artificial intelligence, OrCam Read can read any piece of text ers aim its laser frame(激光框) at a page of a book, a menu, an advertisement, or a screen. Then press a button. After that it instantly starts reading aloud, and can also read text in multiple languages.Robin the RobotA girl, a pneumonia patient, in a clinic had barely eaten for two days. The staff took it into her room. After chatting and playing games, Robin said goodbye, promising to return only if the girl agreed to eat. Sure enough, she dug in. With big eyes and a cheerful personality, Robin is designed to help kids in hospitals and clinics.5 ．W hat’s the advant age of Revolve Air?A ．It’s impressive in shape.B ．It’s fit for use in a car.C ．It’s been widely used.D ．It’s conveni ent to carry.6 ．What should the users do first before OrCam Read starts to read?A ．Test their eyesight.B ．Scan the text.C ．Use their cell phones.D ．Speak their mother tongue.7 ．Which can communicate with their users?A ．Purrble and OrCam Read.B ．Revolve Air and Purrble.C ．Purrble and Robin the Robot.D ．OrCam Read and Revolve Air.(2021·广东·北京师范大学珠海分校附属外国语学校高二阶段练习) Do you need a human to create a beautiful scent (气味)? That’s the question being asked as artificial intelligence (AI) starts to enter the perfume(香水) industry.Companies are increasingly turning to technology in order to create more bestselling, unique fragrances that can be produced in just minutes. Last year, Swiss-based fragrance developer Givaudan Fragrances launched Carto, an artificial intelligence-powered tool to help perfumers(调香师). Through machine learning (a way computers improve outcomes automatically by learning from past results) Carto can suggest combinations of ingredients.Using a touch screen, the perfumer can pull together different scents using data from the brand’s vast library of fragrance formulas (配方) — a much more efficient process than using traditional forms. A small robot immediately processes the fragrances into perfumes, making it easier for perfumers to test their new scents.German fragrance house Symrise has gone one step further and teamed up with IBM Research to create an AI called Philyra. Like Carto, Philyra can’t actually sniff anything. But it is not designed to replace perfumers.“It’s machine-learning and sometimes the results have been wrong,” says Claire Viola, vice president of digital strategy fragrance at Symrise. “It’s still a project, the more we test, the more it continues to improve. It constantly needs training.”8 ．What is Carto according to the passage?A ．a bestselling unique fragrance.B ．a Swiss-based fragrance developer.C ．an AI-powered tool.D ．combinations of ingredients.9 ．What’s the m ain idea of para. 3?A ．The process of making fragrance.B ．Two ways of making fragrance.C ．The importance of a small robot.D ．The popularity of a small robot.10 ．What can we infer from Claire Viola’s opinion on Philyra?A ．It will replace perfumers in the near future.B ．It’s the most effective technology to produce perfume.C ．The results will be perfect when using it.D ．We should train and improve it, because it’s machine-learning.11 ．In which section of the newspaper can you probably read this passage?A ．LifestyleB ．EntertainmentC ．AdvertisementD ．Science & technology(2021·江西·上高二中高二阶段练习) However exciting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated (使脱水) or precooked and stored. This means astronauts aren’t really eating fresh food.New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially-designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASA’s NG- 12 cargo mission. Far from the common vacuum-packed meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies before the end of 2020.Why aren’t they baking cookies in space already? For one thing, there’s the risk of a fire. Engi neers also have to overcome the challenge of micro-gravity(微重力), which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth.Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space.“ I believe... that will be game-changing for both science and astronauts,” food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.One of the main diving forces behind this project has been NASA’s 2018 research into the effects of “confinement and isolation” . Unlike on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts traveling out of Earth’s orbit may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings.It’s hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to astronauts.“Is the ISS going to smell like fresh-baked cookies? We don’t know,” said NanoRacks’ communications manager Abby Dickes. “But that’s feeling we all know and love... that will make someone feel at home.”Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.With commercial space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future?12 ．What can astronauts do with the new oven in space in the future?A ．They can cook a mealB ．They can eat cookies.C ．They can bring more fresh foodD ．They can prepare food quickly13 ．According to the passage, w hy can’t astronauts bake cookies in space now?A ．Cooking in space needs some special cooking skills.B ．Micro-gravity makes it dangerous to cook in space.C ．It’s expensive and inconvenient to br ing fresh food to the space.D ．It’s difficult to heat food the same way as on Earth because of different gravity.14 ．Which one is NOT the purpose of designing the special oven?A ．To prepare some fresh food for astronauts.B ．To bring the feeling of home to the astronauts.C ．To make improvements in space travel.D ．To provide a new game for astronauts to play in space.15 ．The author is most likely to think that the future of astronautical development will be ________.A ．unknownB ．imaginableC ．surprisingD ．confusing(2021·全国·高二课时练习) Your glasses may some day replace your smartphone, and some New Yorkers are ready for the switch. Some in the city can’t wait to try them on and use the maps and GPS that the futuristic eyewear is likely to include.“I’d use it if I were hanging out with friends at 3 a. m. and going to the bar and wanted to see what was open,” said Walter Choo, 40, of Fort Greene.The smartphone-like glasses will likely come out this year and cost between $250 and $600, the Times said, possibly including a variation of augmented reality, a technology already available on smartphones and tablets that overlays information onto the screen about one’s surroundings. So, for example, if you were walking down a street, indicators would pop up showing you the nearest coffee shop or directions could be plotted out and come into view right on the sidewalk in front of you.“As far as a mainstream consumer product, this just isn’t something anybody needs,” said Sam Biddle, who writes for . “We’re accustomed to having one thing in our pocket to do all these things,” he added, “and the average consumer isn’t gonna be able to afford another device that’s hundreds and hundreds of dollars.”9 to 5 Google publisher Seth Weintraub, who has been reporting on the smartphone-like glasses since last year, said he is confident that this type of wearable device will eventually be as common as smartphones.“It’s just like smartphones 10 years ago,” Weintraub said. “A few people started getting emails on their phones, and people thought that was crazy. Same kind of thing. We see people bending their heads to look at their smartphones, and it’s unnatural,” he said. “There’s gonna be improvements to that, and this is a step there.”16 ．Which is one of the possible functions of the smartphone-like glasses?A ．Programing the opening hours of a bar.B ．Supplying you with a picture of the future.C ．Providing information about your surroundings.D ．Updating the maps and GPS in your smartphones.17 ．According to Sam Biddle, the smartphone-like glasses are _______.A ．necessary for teenagersB ．attractive to New YorkersC ．available to people worldwideD ．expensive for average consumers18 ．What can we learn about the smartphone-like glasses from the last two paragraphs?A ．They may have a potential market.B ．They are as common as smartphones.C ．They are popular among young adults.D ．They will be improved by a new technology.(2017·全国·高考真题) Cloud computing will be in use by about 80 percent of about 600 companies. The trend suggests that data management and storage are moving to cloud computing sellers on a large scale.Touting(兜售)cloud computing as a way to get rid of the costs of buying and maintain in on-site information- technology equipment, sellers offer it in the form of Software AsA ．Service(SAAS), a delivery model in which software applications are delivered to customers over a web-based network. SAAS can serve the needs of entire companies through huge, web-based platforms. As cloud computing rapidly bccomes the delivery channel for software developers of all shapes and sizes to get their products to market, offering applications in a cloud is now the rule not the exception. A ．relatively small number of sellers are able to offer SAAS to big companies that want company-wide cloud computing, and only the sellers need apply. Although market-share data are hard to come by, the list of company’s large enough to offer cloud-computing on this scale is short: Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Salesforce, Rackspace and not many others.The concentration of data and virtual (虚拟)computing in the hands of relatively few sellers raises an important risk for their customers if the Internet-based systems of any one seller are hacked, the result could be security problems across entire industries in which their customers doCan this small group of cloud-computing sellers effectively respond to the needs of their customers to quickly fix such a problem and, most importantly, cut off the damage to these companies' own customers? Don't think such things can't happen. If hackers can penetrate the Department of Defense, the risk that they will penetrate Microsoft or google cannot be ruled out Compromise ofjust one of these sellers---even one with a modest market share---possibly could shut down, at least temporarily, a sizable part of the U.

But a famous Japanese architect is hoping to change that view, using new technology to make restrooms in Tokyo parks more inviting."There are two things we worry about when entering a public restroom, especially those located at a park," according to architect Shigeru Ban's firm. "The first is cleanliness, and the second is whether anyone is inside. "The newly-invented transparent walls can turn off both of those worries, Ban says, by showing people what awaits them inside. After users enter the restroom and lock the door, the room's walls turn a powdery pastel shade—and are no longer see-through.Ean's transparent facilities are sure to make for great conversation among visitors to the park—and they'll stand out even more after dark. "At night, the facility lights up the park like a beautiful lantern," the architect's website says.The group is behind the Tokyo Toilet project, enlisting world-famous architects to create toilets "like you'venever seen." The project's eye-catching toilets are part of a plan to put people at ease when visiting a public bathroom. The project may seem silly, but the 16 architects who are reimagining public toilets are some of the brightest names in Japanese architecture. The list includes four Pritzker Prize winners—Ban, Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando and Fumihiko Maki 一along with international stars such as Kengo Kuma and Sou Fujimoto. The fashion designer Nigo is also contributing.Ban's colorful public bathrooms opened to the public this month in two parks: Yoyogi Fu kamachi Mini Park and Haru--no--Ogawa Community Park. Other bespoke commodes will be opening in coming months.23 ．Why are people often worried before entering a public restroom?A ．It's not always clean.B ．It's usually at a huge distance.C ．Its lock is usually useless.D ．It's always occupied.24 ．What does the underlined word "transparent" mean in the third paragraph?A ．Full of bright colors.B ．Not easy to see through.C ．Easy to see through.D ．Thick and strong.25 ．What do we know about the project from the last two paragraphs?A ．It's impractical and silly.B ．It's rewarding and famous.C ．It has won the Pritzker Prize.D ．It's the fruit of collective wisdom.26 ．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A ．Should the public restrooms be upgraded?B ．The new high-tech walls of public restrooms are comingC ．How do we live with see-through public facilities?D ．Some famous architects designed a silly project(2021·广东·梅州市梅江区嘉应中学高二阶段练习) The future home is something that people have talked about for decades.

一、阅读理解(一共5题,一共100分)1.Although most of the Pakistanislive in the countryside, still many Pakistanis live in cities. Karachi has over5 million people and Lahore has over 3million people. Islamabad was bui lt to bePakistan’s capital. The rich city people live in large, air-conditioned houses.Pakistan has 121,000 miles ofroads. Bus services and minibuses are available to the public. The trains arestill the most common transport of long-distance travel for Pakistanis.Pakistan also has an airline that operates domestic and international flights. It is difficult to identify (识别) Pakistani food becausethe country shares food traditions with its neighbor, India. The maindifference between Pakistani and Indian food is that Pakistani food is lessspicy (辛辣的).Pakistani dishes are often made with yoghurt (酸奶), which reduces the effect of thehot spices used in cooking.Wheat is the main food for most ofthe people.

Unit 2 阅读理解题专练1The Tale of Peter RabbitWriter: Helen Beatrix PotterHelen was born on 28 July 1866. She was a British writer and illustrator (插画家) .The story:Once upon a time there were four little rabbits, Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail and Peter. They lived happily with their mother under a very big tree."Now, my dears, " said Mrs Rabbit one morning, "you may got into the field or down the road, but don’t go into Mr McGregor’s garden. Your father had an accident there. He was put in a pie (馅饼) by Mr McGregor. Now run along and have fun. "Did Peter listen to his mother? Of course not! He ran to Mr McGregor’s garden and started his adventure (冒险) !At first, no publisher (出版商) agreed to publish the story, so Potter decided to publish the book by herself in 1901. With 42 black-and-white pictures, the small book was popular, and Frederick Warne & Co. agreed to publish it in 1902.1. The writer Helen Beatrix Potter was from ______ .A. AmericaB. AustraliaC. BritainD. France2. What did Mrs Rabbit think of Mr McGregor’s garden?A. Beautiful.B. InterestingC. Dangerous.D. Large.3. The story of the book may be about ______ .A. Peter’s happy life with his familyB. Mr Rabbit’s accident in the gardenC. Peter’s adventure with his brother s and sistersD. Peter’s adventure in Mr McGregor’s gardenBCC2Summer is almost here, and the weather is heating up. Are you drinking enough water? Many kids aren’t, according to a new study in The American Journal of Public Health.Erica Kenney, a scientist at Harvard, is the study’s leader. At the beginning, she planned to look into the amount (数量) of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research, she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.Kenney and her team examined data (数据) from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to 19,between the years of 2012 and 2015. While examining the data, she noticed that more than half of the kids didn’t drink enough water. Of that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls to not have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids reported drinking no plain water (白水) at all.“These findings are very important because they point out a potential health problem that has not been given a lot of attention in the past,” Kenney said. “Even though for most of these kids, this is not an immediate, serious health problem, but a problem that could really have a harmful influence on health and life for many children years later. ”60% of the human body is made up of water. Not drinking enough water can lead to health problems like headaches or poor physical performance. Your body needs more water when you are in hot weather, when you are physically active, and if you have a fever.The United States National Agricultural Library says that on average, kids need 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from both drinks and food that have high amounts of water, such as celery, melon, and tomatoes. It is also suggested that fluids (液体) come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories (卡路里) and can lead to weight problems.“The good news is that this is a public health problem with a simple solution,” said another scientist, Steven Gortmaker. “If we can help children drink more water—a low cost, no calorie fluid—we can improve their health, which may allow many children to feel better throughout the day and do better in school. ”1. What is Erica Kenney’s purpose of doing the study?A. To prove that plain water is the best for kids.B. To explain why kids love sugary drinks most.C. To study if kids drink enough water at school every day.D. To find out how much sugary drinks kids drink at school.2. What does the word “potential” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Happening often.B. Relating to the past.C. Causing bad results.D. Possible in the future.3. The findings of the study may make people realize .A. the fact that boys need more water than girlsB. the importance of kids’ drinking enough waterC. the health problems sugary drinks bring to kidsD. the necessity of kids’ drinking some sugary drinks4. According to the passage, we can know .A. how to help kids drink more waterB. why kids drink little water at schoolC. what kind of drink kids should chooseD. who sho uld be responsible for kids’ healthDDBC3A smile will tell people around you that you are a kind and friendly person. However, many people don’t smile because they think they have ugly teeth. For example, one of my classmates, Mike, doesn’t have very nic e teeth, so that is why he seldom opens his mouth. He even says that he loses confidence because of his teeth. So it is very important for us to look after our teeth. In fact, a lot of people have this problem. Some people inherit (有遗传而得) teeth problems from their parents, while others’ teeth are damaged（损坏）because of bad habits, like heavy smoking, eating too much sugar or not brushing teeth often. If your teeth are in bad shape, you should see a dentist (牙医) and ask for help. They can help improve your teeth and tell you how to take care of them.Smiling can help you to feel more confident and make other people think of you as a more friendly person. If you want to keep healthy, you should not only smile but also laugh. An Indian doctor called Kataria said that young children should laugh about 300 times a day, while adults should laugh between 7 and 15 times a day. So please take this chance to smile and laugh now!(confidence n. 信心confident adj. 感觉有信心的)( )1. What makes Mike lose his confidence?A. His bad habit.B. His bad teeth.C. Not smilingD. Eating too much sugar. ( )2. Many people don’t smile because.A. they don’t like smilingB. they think they are uglyC. their teeth are not beautifulD. they can’t open their mouths( )3. If you want to keep healthy, you had better .A. not smile oftenB. laugh all the timeC. only smile oftenD. smile and even laugh often( )4. How many times should a child laugh every day in doctor Katari a’s opinion?A. Either 300 or 30 times a day.B. Between 7 and 15 times a day.C. About 300 times a day.D. Only 30 times a day.BCDC4Long, long ago there was a very foolish thief. Do you know what he did one day? When hewanted to steal(偷) the be ll on his neighbour’s door, he walked up to the door, took hold of(抓住) the bell and pulled hard. The bell made a very loud noise. The thief was afraid and went home. Then he sat down to think, “I must do something about the noise,” he said. He thought and thought. At last he had an idea. “Ah, I’ll put some cotton in my ears. Then I won’t be able to hear the noise. ” The next day he went to the door of his neighbour, and took hold of the bell. This time he pulled even harder. The bell rang loudly, but the thief did not hear anything. With another hard pull he got the bell out. Just then the neighbour came running out. “Steal my bell? I’ll teach you a lesson(教训),” the angry man shouted. And he hit the thief on the nose.The foolish thief did not know how the neighbour found out he was stealing the bell. “Why did he come out just then?” he wondered(感到疑惑).31.

He likes to hide his eyes behind his hair. He doesn't smile very often. However, if you talk to him about music, he'll have a lot to say.This is Jay Chou, the 24-year-old Taiwanese pop king(天王).

Those songs are from his new album (唱片), "Ye Huimei", and the album was released (发行) in July and was named after his mother.Chou grew up just with his mother.

When you enter it, you find there are many gardens and open areas inside. Most surprisingly, its roof(屋顶) has a farm that is full of all kinds of plants. This isn't an art museum or a scene from a sci-fi movie. This is s the Fangshan Campus of Beijing No. 4 High School.Usually, schools mean square buildings, closed classrooms, rows of desks and a teacher standing in the front. Most campuses have looked this way for many years. But as time goes by, traditional campuses may no longer meet students' needs. There are now new schools that look quite different.Take the Beijing No. 4 High school Fangshan campus for example. The school l believes that learning doesn't just happen in the classroom, but all over the campus. The design of its campusencourages students to go outside, play and communicate with each other.Future campuses will also create more chances for teachers and students to interact(互动) with each other. “In the Information n Age, the most important commodity（有价值之物）on a campus is social space to meet and learn. From each other,” said Thomas Heatherwick, an architect(建筑师) from the United Kingdom.Heatherwick designed a teaching building for Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a line. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.10.
