“Best
Inventions”．Here,
we
have
picked
out
the
most
interesting
4
to
share
with
you.
Talking
Gloves
Ever
felt
confused
by
the
sign
language
used
by
disabled
people?
Here
is
the
“helping
hand”
you
need.Four
Ukrainian
students
have
created
a
pair
of
gloves
that
helps
people
with
hearing
and
speech
problems
communicate
with
others.The
gloves
are
equipped
with
sensors
that
recognize
sign
language
and
translate
it
into
text
on
a
smartphone.Then
the
smartphone
changes
the
text
to
spoken
words.
Google
Glasses
Google
Glasses
are
like
a
computer
built
into
the
frame
of
a
pair
of
glasses.With
its
1.3?centimeter
display，the
glasses
allow
you
to
surf
the
Internet
and
make
calls
without
even
lifting
a
finger.The
glasses
also
have
a
camera
and
GPS
mapping
system.Users
can
take
and
share
photos,
check
maps
and
surf
the
Internet
just
by
looking
up,
down，left
and
right.
Indoor
Clouds
It's
not
virtual.That's
a
real
world.Dutch
artist
Smilde
managed
to
create
a
small
but
perfect
white
cloud
in
the
middle
of
a
room
using
a
fog
machine.But
it
required
careful
planning—the
temperature,
humidity(湿度)and
lighting
all
had
to
be
just
right.Once
everything
was
ready，the
cloud
formed
in
the
air
with
the
machine.But
it
only
lasted
for
a
short
while.
Wingsuits
The
suit
fulfills
your
dreams
of
flying
like
a
bird.Well,
not
exactly
flying,
but
gliding
(滑翔)through
the
air.It
increases
the
surface
area
of
the
human
body，which
makes
it
easier
for
people
to
float
in
the
air.Fliers
wearing
wingsuits
can
glide
one
kilometer
in
about
30
seconds.

A　[推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here，we
have
picked
out
the
most
interesting
4
to
share
with
you.”可知，本文的目的是与读者分享几项发明，所以选A项。]
B
The
plan：turn
the
Mars
into
a
blue
world
with
streams
and
green
fields,
and
then
fill
it
with
creatures
from
the
earth.This
idea
may
sound
like
something
from
science
fiction,
but
it
is
actually
being
taken
seriously
by
many
researchers.This
suggests
the
future
for
the
“red
planet”
will
be
the
main
topic
for
discussion
at
an
international
conference
hosted
by
NASA
this
week.Leading
researchers
as
well
as
science
fiction
writers
will
attend
the
event.It
comes
as
NASA
is
preparing
a
multi?billion?dollar
Mars
research
programme.
“Turning
the
Mars
into
a
little
earth
has
long
been
a
topic
in
science
fiction，”
said
Dr
Michael
Meyer，NASA's
senior
scientist.“Now，with
scientists
exploring
the
reality,
we
can
ask
what
are
the
real
possibilities
of
changing
the
Mars.”
Most
scientists
agree
that
the
Mars
could
be
turned
into
a
little
earth，although
much
time
and
money
would
be
needed
to
achieve
this
goal.But
many
experts
are
shocked
by
the
idea.“We
are
destroying
our
own
world
at
an
unbelievable
speed
and
now
we
are
talking
about
ruining
another
planet，”
said
Paul
Murdin
from
the
Institute
of
Astronomy,
Cambridge,
UK.
Over
the
past
months,
scientists
have
become
increasingly
confident
they
will
find
Martian
life
forms.Europe
and
America's
robot
explorers
have
found
the
proof
that
water，mixed
with
soil，exists
in
large
amounts
on
the
planet.
In
addition,
two
different
groups
of
scientists
announced
on
March
28
that
they
had
found
signs
of
methane
(甲烷)in
the
Martian
atmosphere;
the
gas
is
a
waste
product
of
living
creatures
and
could
be
produced
by
microbes
(微生物)
living
in
the
red
planet's
soil.But
scientists
such
as
Dr
Lisa
Pratt,
a
biologist
at
Indiana
University,
say
that
these
microbes
will
be
put
in
danger
by
the
little
earth
project.
“Before
we
have
even
discovered
if
there
is
life
on
the
Mars,
we
are
talking
about
carrying
out
projects
that
would
destroy
all
these
native
life
forms,
all
the
strange
microbes
that
we
hope
to
find
buried
in
the
soil，”
said
Dr
Pratt.
Monica
Grady，a
planetary
scientist
at
the
Natural
History
Museum,
London,
shares
this
view.“We
cannot
risk
starting
a
global
experiment
that
would
wipe
out
the
precious
information
we
are
looking
for，”
she
said.“This
is
just
wrong.”
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇议论文。文章主要描绘了把火星改造成蓝色的“生命天堂”的宏伟规划，综述了科学家对这个火星改造工程所持的不同观点。
4．What
is
the
passage
mainly
about?
A．A
plan
turning
the
Mars
into
a
little
earth.
B．The
necessity
of
changing
the
Mars.
C．Finding
water
on
the
Mars.
D．The
Mars
supporting
life.
A　[主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The
plan：turn
the
Mars
into
a
blue
world
with
streams
and
green
fields，and
then
fill
it
with
creatures
from
the
earth.”及全文内容可知，这篇短文主要讲的是火星改造计划的设想。]
5．Why
is
Dr
Lisa
Pratt
against
the
plan?
A．Water
has
been
found
on
the
Mars.
B．It
will
cost
too
much
money
and
work.
C．The
native
life
forms
on
the
Mars
would
be
destroyed.
D．The
earth
is
being
destroyed
at
an
unbelievable
speed.
C　[细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But
scientists
such
as
Dr
Lisa
Pratt，a
biologist
at
Indiana
University，say
that
these
microbes
will
be
put
in
danger
by
the
little
earth
project.”可知，像印第安纳大学生物学家丽莎·普拉特博士等的科学家表示，“小地球”计划将使得火星上的微生物处于危险之中。]
6．What
could
prove
the
existence
of
microbes
living
in
the
Mars'
soil?
A．Liquid
water
on
the
Mars.
B．Some
creatures
on
the
Mars.
C．A
lot
of
good
soil
on
the
Mars.
D．Signs
of
methane
in
the
Mars'
atmosphere.
D　[推理判断题。根据第四段中的“the
gas
is
a
waste
product
of
living
creatures
and
could
be
produced
by
microbes(微生物)living
in
the
red
planet's
soil”可知，火星大气层中存在甲烷的迹象，而甲烷是活的生物产生的废物。]
7．What
can
we
infer
from
the
passage?
A．Water
is
a
key
factor
for
life;
without
it，living
on
the
Mars
would
be
impossible.
B．The
project
won't
affect
the
native
life
forms
supposed
to
live
on
the
Mars.
C．The
idea
turning
the
Mars
into
a
little
earth
is
nothing
but
science
fiction.
D．Monica
Grady
is
in
favour
of
carrying
out
the
little
earth
project.
A　[推理判断题。根据第三段“Over
the
past
months,
scientists
have
become
increasingly
confident
they
will
find
Martian

and
America's
robot
explorers
have
found
the
proof
that
water，mixed
with
soil,
exists
in
large
amounts
on
the
planet.”可知，我们知道科学家越来越相信火星上存在生命，因为有证据表明火星土壤中存在大量的水，故可以断定水是生命存在的关键要素。]
Ⅲ.阅读七选五
The
man
who
could
see
the
future
The
ability
to
predict
the
future
is
a
rare
talent.American
author
Isaac
Asimov
(1920—1992),
one
of
the
great
science
fiction
writers
of
his
age,
had
such
a
talent.__1__Now
that
we're
here，let's
see
what
he
got
right.
__2__Asimov
thought
computers
would
cause
a
revolution
comparable
to
the
industrial
revolution
of
the
19th
century.Specifically,
he
said
that
“mobile
computerized
objects”
would
be
an
important
part
of
everyday
life.Here,
he
clearly
predicted
our
world
of
smartphones，tables
and
other
devices.He
also
had
a
great
deal
to
say
about
space
exploration.__3__
How
did
Asimov
develop
his
special
sense
of
future
developments？__4__He
read
the
newspapers
and
magazines
sold
in
his
parents'
candy
store.His
scientific
interest
gained
sharper
focus
at
Columbia
University
in
New
York.Asimov
went
to
study
chemistry,
but
became
bored
with
pure
laboratory
science.Instead,
he
thought
hard
about
the
social
implications
(作用)of
science.He
wanted
to
communicate
his
ideas
to
the
public.
__5__Asimov
had
his
finger
on
the
pulse(脉搏)of
both
scientific
and
social
change.He
had
a
clear
vision
of
what
was
coming
around
the
corner
for
humanity
in
his
works
like
the
Galactic
Empire
series
(《银河帝国系列》).“His
predictions
are
absolutely
fascinating，”Calum
Chase,
an
English
writer,
told
BBC
News.“He
was
a
genius.”
A．As
a
smart
boy,
Asimov
taught
himself
to
read
at
the
age
of
five.
B．Space
exploration
really
can
make
our
life
more
convenient
and
comfortable.
C．Back
in
1983，he
was
asked
to
predict
what
the
world
would
look
like
in
2019.
D．On
the
role
that
computing
would
play
in
the
future,
he
was
amazingly
accurate.
E．Asimov
has
developed
a
great
interest
in
computer
programming
since
childhood.
F．As
an
author，his
books
would
feature
the
theme
of
social
change
caused
by
technology.
G．The
International
Space
Station
proves
his
prediction
that
we
would
not
simply
visit
space
but
seek
to
stay
there.
[语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了科幻大师阿西莫夫和他的预言的准确性以及他是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。
1．C　[上文提到“美国作家艾萨克·阿西莫夫是他那个时代最伟大的科幻作家之一，他有这样一种天赋”；下文提到“让我们看看他预测对了什么”。由此可知，空格处在本段中起承上启下的作用。故C选项“早在1983年，他就被要求预测2019年的世界会是什么样子”承上启下。]
2．D　[根据“Asimov
thought
computers
would
cause
a
revolution
comparable
to
the
industrial
revolution
of
the
19th
century.”可知，阿西莫夫认为计算机将引发一场与19世纪工业革命相当的革命。D项“关于计算机在未来将所扮演的角色，他惊人准确地预测了”是说明他预测的计算机的结果，与本段内容符合。]
3．G　[根据“He
also
had
a
great
deal
to
say
about
space
exploration.”可知，关于太空探索，他也预测了。所以空格处要接着说他预言的结果。故G选项“国际空间站证明了他的预言，我们不仅要拜访太空，还要设法留在那里”与太空探索相关，且是预测结果。]
4．A　[根据“He
read
the
newspapers
and
magazines
sold
in
his
parents'
candy
store.”可知，他读了父母糖果店出售的报纸和杂志。所以空格处要与下一句一起来说明阿西莫夫是如何培养他对未来发展的特殊意识的。故A选项“作为一个聪明的男孩，阿西莫夫在五岁时就开始自学”承上启下。]
5．F　[阅读本段可知，本段主要在说作为一名作家，他的书以科技引起的社会变革为主题，故选F项。]
