文体分类练(四) 说明文之发明创新类
(限时:25分钟)
Passage 1
(2023福建福州二模)
Someday,you may no longer need to brush your teeth by hand.Instead,a group of billions of nanoparticles (纳米粒子) could automatically do all that work for you.It would be especially life-changing for people who find it difficult or impossible to hold and move a toothbrush.
Steager,an engineer at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) in Philadelphia and Hyun Koo,an inventor and dental researcher there,found a way to form the nanoparticles into long,skinny bristles (刷毛),a lot like the ones on a toothbrush.But these bristles shape-shift to fit whatever surface they encounter.
The tooth-cleaning robot works thanks to two magnets (磁铁).One goes each side of the teeth.The nanoparticles sit in a liquid between the magnets.When the magnets are turned off,the nanoparticles move randomly in the liquid.As soon as one magnet gets turned on,the nanoparticles gather together near its center.When the researchers turn on the other magnet and turn off the first one,the nanoparticles extend outward in long,skinny bristles.When there’s a tooth in the way,these bristles can’t stretch out as far as they want.So they push against the tooth’s surface.If there’s a gap between teeth,they push into the gap.Moving the magnets makes the bristles move against and between teeth.All that motion cleans the teeth.As a bonus,the nanoparticles also have strong power to kill viruses.
The new device is just a proof of concept.The researchers still need to turn it into a product that people will want to use.“There’s a lot of engineering to get from here to there,but every good idea needs to have a start,” says Steager.
1.What is special about the tooth cleaner
A.It’s water-proof.
B.It’s transformable.
C.It looks like a toothbrush.
D.It contains skinny bristles.
2.What is paragraph 3 mainly about

B.The magnets’ motion.
C.The virus-killing process.
D.The bristles’ formation.
3.How does Steager feel about the future of the device
A.Uncertain. B.Confident.
C.Concerned. D.Surprised.
4.Which of the following would be the best title
A.A Tooth-Cleaner Fighting Bacteria
B.A Breakthrough in Medicine

Passage 2
(2023山东济南一模)
There is nothing quite like enjoying the sights,sounds and culture of a city while tasting a cup of coffee outdoors.But it is not that enjoyable when heat waves sweep the city.An outdoor cooling system produced by Kinonko,an Israeli (以色列的) company,began to be tested in Tel Aviv.The sweltering city is a perfect place to try the new technology.
With global warming heating up the temperature,it will soon be too hot to sit outside in cafes.While outdoor cooling systems have existed for a while,most of them use some sort of water or misting system to cool the air around them,consuming too much water and power.After two years of development,the perfect solution to the problem was found.“We have invented a new generation of air conditioner,” Kinonko CEO Leizer said.
As Leizer introduced,the energy is from the pressure created between liquid nitrogen (氮) and gas nitrogen.When liquid nitrogen at -196 degrees turns into gas,it produces a very strong pressure and the pressure is used to run a mechanical engine.It is that mechanical engine that slowly releases freezing nitrogen gas to cool down the air around it.
The technology is unique and amazing.Beyond the coolness of the concept,it also has other advantages.The work unit doesn’t need to be power-driven,and doesn’t blow out harmful warm air as it works.As for the potential price,it will probably be no more expensive than any other air conditioner.In addition,the liquid nitrogen container will need to be replaced every seven to ten days,depending on usage.This makes it an affordable option for all sorts of businesses.The cooling system is expected to be on the market in 2024.
5.What does the underlined word “sweltering” mean in paragraph 1
A.Warm. B.Dry.
C.Hot. D.Freezing.
6.What problem does the existing outdoor cooling systems have
A.They are wasteful.
B.They overheat easily.
C.They often break down.
D.They are slow to cool the air.
7.What does paragraph 3 mainly explain
A.What powers the engine.
B.What turns liquid into gas.
C.How the pressure is formed.
D.How the new system works.
8.What is the purpose of this text
A.To promote a company.
B.To settle an energy crisis.
C.To introduce a technology.
D.To market a misting system.
Passage 3
(2023安徽马鞍山二模)
To give grasshoppers(蚱蜢) some credit—jumping across yards and between branches takes a lot more expertise than it might appear.There are incredibly tiny factors to consider,such as the resistance in launch surface,as well as desired distance,speed,and landing.
Most jumping robots can’t compete with the insect,as their jumps are limited to starting atop extremely rigid surfaces.But a new bouncing robot developed by researchers in Carnegie Mellon’s College of Engineering is crossing those barriers,and showing promise for how autonomous devices could operate in the future.
A team of scientists led by professor of mechanical engineering Sarah Bergbreiter recently optimized a robot’s latch mechanisms (弹簧机制) used to boost it upward.Previously,these latches were primarily thought of as simple on/off switches that enabled the release of stored energy.However,Bergbreiter and her team employed mathematical modeling to illustrate that these latches both were capable of controlling energy output,as well as controlling the transfer (传递) of energy between the jumper and the launch surface.
To test their work,the team positioned a small jumping robot atop a tree branch and recorded the precise energy transfers in its jumps’ first moments.“We found that the latch can not only mediate(调节) energy output but can also mediate energy transfer between the jumper and the environment that it is jumping from,” said Bergbreiter.
Now that researchers better understand the interactions at play in the opening moments of jumping,they can now begin working on ways to integrate this into future robotic designs.“It has been nearly impossible to design controlled insect-sized robots because they are launched in just milliseconds,”explained Bergbreiter.“Now,we have more control over whether our robots are jumping up one foot or three.It’s really fascinating that the latch—something that we already need in our robots—can be used to control outputs that we couldn’t have controlled before.”
9.What does the author want to show about the new robot by mentioning grasshoppers
A.It comes with technical difficulties.
B.It can beat the insect easily.
C.It is the first one designed for jumping.
D.It is shaped like the tiny creature.
10.What advantage do latches designed by Bergbreiter have over the traditional ones
A.They are better positioned in robots.
B.They help release more energy at a time.
C.They work in extreme environments.
D.They have more than a single function.
11.What does Bergbreiter think of their work
A.It has changed their research direction.
B.It inspires new applications of robots.
C.It brings them a sense of achievement.
D.It will make robots smaller and lighter.
12.What is the text mainly about
A.A new model for future robots.
B.A step forward in robot design.
C.Jumping robots inspired by grasshoppers.
D.Efforts to develop insect-sized robots.
