【題目】 NextFest is an unusual exhibition where you can meet the most creative minds and discover new technology from around the world and see the things that will change the way we live, work and play in the future. For example,......

Brainball is a computer game with a difference: if you’re too competitive, you'll lose. The more relaxed you are, the better you play. Brainball measures your brainwaves and the person who is the most relaxed can push the ball to the other side and win. I’m sure it will be a popular game with yoga teachers and nervous parents everywhere.

If you’re interested in fashion, NexlFest can show you the clothes of the future—cloth which you can change by downloading styles from the web, clothes which look after your health and a biometric(生物測(cè)量的) suit which watches over your body and gives you medicine when you need it.

Another hit is a humanoid(類人的) robot which can walk, turn, climb up and down stairs—and even dance. Asimo copies human movement and is friendly-looking. Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help to blind or elderly people and to those who can’t get out of bed.

The Skyear looks as if it could only appear in a Hollywood film. It certainly lives up to its name: it can fly. It can climb at more than 2.000 metres a minute and reach a speed of 365 mph. If you want one, it will cost you about $500,000!

If you want to see the future, come to NexiFest. It’s open all this whole week at the State Science Exhibition Centre.

1What should you do if you want to win a game of Brainball?

A.Keep a cool head.B.Be strong enough.

C.Have a creative mindD.Be highly competitive.

2What is Asimo designed to do?

A.Direct human movement.B.Look after human’s health.

C.Give patients medical treatment.D.Help the elderly and the disabled.

3What can we learn about NextFest?

C.It is related to technology.D.It sells clothes and medicine.

【解析】

這是一篇帶有廣告性質(zhì)的說(shuō)明文,主要介紹了一個(gè)科技感和未來(lái)感滿滿的展覽NextFest,在這里有創(chuàng)造性的游戲、衣服和機(jī)器人等,歡迎人們前來(lái)參觀。

1

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容“if you’re too competitive, you'll lose. The more relaxed you are, the better you play.”和“The person who is the most relaxed can push the ball to the other side and win.”可知,這款叫Brainball的游戲,特別之處在于你越是放松就越能贏,而非追求高對(duì)抗性和競(jìng)爭(zhēng)性,因而A選項(xiàng)“保持冷靜的頭腦”符合原文,故選A。

2

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第四段“Asimo copies human movement and is friendly-looking. Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help to blind or elderly people and to those who can’t get out of bed.”可知這款叫Asimo的機(jī)器人,設(shè)計(jì)出來(lái)將能為盲人、老人和臥床不起的人(可以概括為老弱病殘)提供幫助,因而D選項(xiàng)“幫助老人和殘疾人”符合原文,故選D。

3

細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)原文第一段對(duì)這一展覽的介紹“NextFest is an unusual exhibition where you can meet the most creative minds and discover new technology…”可知其與科技息息相關(guān),C選項(xiàng)符合原文;且根據(jù)最后一段“It’s open all this whole week”可知其持續(xù)一整周七天,A錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第四段“Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help…”可知Honda在是這款機(jī)器人的設(shè)計(jì)者,非整個(gè)展覽的舉辦人,B錯(cuò)誤;根據(jù)第三段全段內(nèi)容,這一展覽中有“未來(lái)的衣服”展出,它們甚至還能監(jiān)測(cè)你的身體健康狀況并在你需要時(shí)給藥,而非展覽現(xiàn)場(chǎng)賣衣服和藥,D錯(cuò)誤。綜上,只有C與原文內(nèi)容相符,故選C。

Chazelle wrote the screenplay in 2010 but did not find a studio willing to finance the production without changes to his design.

Critics thought highly of Chazelle’s screenplay and direction, Gosling and Stone’s performances, and Justin Hurwitz’s score (配樂(lè)). It won in every category it was nominated (提名) for at the 74th Golden Globe Awards, with a record-breaking seven wins, and received 11 nominations at the 70th British Academy Film Awards, winning five. It received 14 nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, tying the record for most nominations with Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950), and won the awards for Best Comedy, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song.

【題目】 There are many differences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors can’t help but notice the fact that children are special in China. However, the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.

When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was nonplussed when she replied, “ No, she’s not; she’s ugly.” Since that time I have heard many similar comments, including, “No, he’s not bright; he’s stupid.” This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.

Someone explained it to me, “ We Chinese don’t want to appear too proud.” I’m sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were destroying the child’s self-confidence. When we Americans say something good about our child we don’t think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parents as two different persons.

You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner: “ My daughter is smart and pretty.” Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. It’s just the way she was made, and I’m thankful for that. So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good parent.

1What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.HopefulB.Worried

C.RegretfulD.Surprised

2When US parents praise their child in front of others, they _____

A.often feel proud of themselvesB.try to build the kid’s confidence

C.just say something nice about the kidD.have similar feelings as Chinese parents

3What can we infer about the author?

A.He is from the US.B.He is visiting America

C.He is a Chinese parent.D.He is an expert in education.

4What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.How different cultures in the world raise kids.

B.How Chinese and US parents talk about kids.

C.How US parents feel about themselves.

D.How different countries treat kids.

【題目】Bert Katz, my father-in-law, celebrated his 90th birthday in November 2016. Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees ( an American professional baseball team based in the New York City ) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (熱切的)listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.

Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.

Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec. 15, 2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.

Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday, and of course, talking about the Yankees.

When my family celebrated Bert’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him.

Unfortunately, Bert’s health declined last year and he passed away July 13, 2017. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WFAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.

1What habit did Bert keep for years?

A. Playing baseball.

B. Listening to a sports program.

C. Checking his eyesight regularly.

D. Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.

2What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Obvious. B. Unusual.

C. Important. D. Understandable.

3What word can describe the author?

A. Honest. B. Caring.

C. Patient. D. Independent.

4What is the best title for the text?

A. A special gift. B. The call finally arrived.

C. The big dream came true. D. An unforgettable birthday party.
