B卷——大题提能练
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2021·芜湖质检)The Oscar winning 2013 musical Frozen, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, followed the tale of two princess sisters, Elsa and Anna.They were forced to grow up isolated from each other and the world because of Elsa's potentially dangerous magic ability to control ice.The film earned an amazing $1.27 billion box office worldwide, and fans were so charmed by the characters—that they weren't able to “Let It Go”， crazily calling for a sequel (续集)．
Finally, Frozen Ⅱ comes into its fans' eyes.However, the beginning of Frozen Ⅱ is not convincing, largely because it overturns much of the character development Anna and Elsa went through in the first movie.At the end of Frozen, Elsa had learned that her powers were a gift, and she had become confident and proud in using them.At the beginning of Frozen Ⅱ， that confidence is gone.
Whatever technical advancements have been made in computer animation over the past six years aren't readily apparent in Frozen Ⅱ.It mostly has the same frosty look as the first film.A sea battle between Elsa and a glowing ice horse leaves the most striking impression on the audience.
The biggest failure The music.In Frozen, even the throwaway songs enjoyed great popularity, let alone the theme song Let It Go.Returning composers Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson—Lopez try to give Elsa two showstopping numbers: Into the Unknown and Show Yourself.But neither song reaches any emotional heights.(Never mind that there really isn't a show to stop.)
Yes, Frozen Ⅱ is a letdown to most audience, especially the fans of the original.It's hard to see how the same team who made something so cool in 2013 could deliver something so—there's no other word for it—lukewarm.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。2013年《冰雪奇缘》在全球获得了惊人的12.7亿美元的票房，粉丝们被这些角色吸引，以至于他们无法“放手”，疯狂地要求拍续集。文章提及了对《冰雪奇缘》的续集《冰雪奇缘2》的评价和看法，作者认为这部续集很让人失望。
1．What do we know about the musical Frozen
A．Its theme song didn't reach fans' heart.
B．It didn't earn profit through its box office.
C．It was a big hit after it came into the market.
D．Its main characters lived together in their childhood.
C 解析：推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The film earned an amazing $1.27 billion box office worldwide, and fans were so charmed by the characters—that they weren't able to ‘Let It Go’， crazily calling for a sequel (续集)．”可知，这部电影在全球获得了惊人的12.7亿美元的票房，粉丝们被这些角色吸引，以至于他们无法“放手”，疯狂地要求拍续集。由此可推知，音乐剧《冰雪奇缘》上市后大受欢迎。故选C。
2．What is the most impressive part of Frozen Ⅱ？
A．A sea battle.
B．Technical advancement.
C．A different beginning.
D．The newly created music.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“A sea battle between Elsa and a glowing ice horse leaves the most striking impression on the audience.”可知，艾莎和一匹发光的冰马之间的海战给观众留下了最深刻的印象。由此可知，《冰雪奇缘2》最令人印象深刻的部分是一场海战。故选A。
3．What does the author think of the musical Frozen Ⅱ？
A．Breathtaking. B．Disturbing.
C．Moving. D．Disappointing.
D 解析：观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Yes, Frozen Ⅱ is a letdown to most audience, especially the fans of the original.It's hard to see how the same team who made something so cool in 2013 could deliver something so—there's no other word for it—lukewarm.”可知，《冰雪奇缘2》让大多数观众失望了，尤其是第一部的粉丝。很难想象，在2013年创造了如此酷的电影的同一个团队，是如何做到如今这么不冷不热的。由此可推知，作者认为《冰雪奇缘2》很让人失望。故选D。
4．What type of writing is this text
A．An announcement.
B．A film review.
C．An official report.
D．A show guide.
B 解析：推理判断题。根据文章第一段中的“The Oscar winning 2013 musical Frozen, inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, followed the tale of two princess sisters, Elsa and Anna.”可知，2013年奥斯卡获奖音乐剧《冰雪奇缘》的灵感来自安徒生的《白雪皇后》，讲述了公主姐妹艾莎和安娜的故事。文章主要内容为介绍《冰雪奇缘2》这部电影的故事情节，以及观众的对比的评价及看法，由此可推知，文章是一篇影评。故选B。

(2021·湖南永州二模)Detroit Hives is a non profit organization that buys vacant lots in the city to transform into bee farms.Timothy Paul and Nicole Lindsey started the non profit last year, focused on improving the Motor City's “left behind” communities and educating people on bees.
Timothy got interested in honey and honeybees because of a cough he couldn't shake.He was sick for months, until a store owner in nearby Ferndale recommended he try some local honey.Soon Timothy's cough was gone.And he and Nicole found that abandoned urban sites often became illegal dumping grounds, contributing to an overgrowth of allergens (过敏原)—not to mention the mess.The couple began to think about how to settle that issue by producing local honey on vacant sites, and Detroit Hives was born.
To become certified beekeepers, Timothy and Nicole took two courses.They bought their first vacant lot for $340, with the aid of the Detroit Land Bank Authority community partnership program.From there, they built three hives and vegetable garden plots.Thousands of bees now buzz (嗡嗡) on the lot.“The neighbors say they wish we were there decades of years ago.That area had always been a place where people dumped garbage, so when we came here, we gave that area a sense of purpose.The neighbors keep an eye on the area to make sure that people don't dump any more，” Lindsey said.
Currently, Detroit Hives has partnered with local Detroit Soup and a homeless shelter to provide local, raw honey and they also sell their sweet product.In addition, Detroit Hives spreads awareness about bees through public tours of the farm.The couple also speak at schools in the area.They aim to expand beyond their first farm this year.

(2021·湖南雅礼中学模拟)A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high tech integrated systems.Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly.Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.
“It's extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just the sum of a bunch of individual components (元件)，” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade.A few years ago, his team got the go ahead to start piecing together the components.“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own，” he said.
They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly.“The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of interdependencies on the individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, but then has to be matched well to everything it's connected to，” said Wood.The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems.Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.
While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built in power source, so that it might someday perform data gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield.“Basically it should be able to take off, land and fly around，” he said.
Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect scale.Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications.“You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead，” he said.“So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是哈佛大学从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感，设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇并介绍了该项研究存在的困难、研究将要发展的方向和该研究会带来的好处。
9．The difficulty the team of engineers met with while making the robotic fly was that ________．
A．they had no model in their mind
B．they did not have sufficient time
C．they had no ready made components
D．they could not assemble the components
C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The added difficulty with a project like this is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to develop them all on our own”可知，类似这样的项目的一个额外的困难就是，这些组成部件从来就没有现成的，研究团队不得不靠自己去开发，由此可知，困难就是没有现成的组成部件。故选C。
10．It can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4 that the robotic fly ________．
A．consists of a flight device and a control system
B．can just fly in limited areas at the present time
C．can collect information from many sources
D．has been put into wide application
B 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“While this first robotic flyer is linked to a small, off board power source, the goal is eventually to equip it with a built in power source, so that it might someday perform data gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield.”可知，虽然第一架机器人飞行器与一个小型非机载电源相连，但最终目标是为其配备一个内置电源，以便有朝一日它可以在救援地点、农民的田地或战场上执行数据收集任务。由此可推知，目前由于电池等的限制，只能在有限的区域飞行。故选B。
11．Which of the following can be learned from the passage
A．The robotic flyer is designed to learn about insects.
B．Animals are not allowed in biological experiments.
C．There used to be few ways to study how insects fly.
D．Wood's design can replace animals in some experiments.
D 解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中的“it might someday perform data gathering work at rescue sites, in farmers' fields or on the battlefield”可知，A项是错误的。B项中的Animals are not allowed 是错的，应该是difficult with animals，即有些用动物来做试验是困难的，不是不允许。文中并没有提到以前方法的多少，文中只是说offers a new way to study，提供了新的方法，故排除C项。根据最后一段中的“you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead”可知，用动物研究生物学会很难，但是机器人可以取代动物，所以在某些实验中，伍德的设计可以取代动物。故选D。
12．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage
A．Father of Robotic Fly
B．Inspiration from Engineering Science
C．Robotic Fly Imitates Real Life Insect
D．Harvard Breaks Through in Insect Study
C 解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly.”可知，文章主要介绍的是哈佛大学从自然界的昆虫那里得到了灵感，设计开发了第一款机器苍蝇。所以文章的最佳标题是“机器苍蝇模仿现实生活中的昆虫”。故选C。
