Our science teacher always enjoys giving out challenging assignments to our Grade 10 science class.Unlike other teachers who hand out page upon page of textbook questions, Mr.Hussey seems to prefer having the students learn science through a more hands on, do it yourself approach.
“Today,” said Mr.Hussey, “everyone will be making an icebox!”As we sat in awe, trying to imagine what kind of device he was referring to, Mr.Hussey handed out the project instructions.In groups of two, we would design a storage device that was capable of keeping its contents at a constant temperature for a certain period of time, regardless of the outside temperature.The competition was quite straightforward:every contestant would receive a cube of ice.The team that had the biggest piece left the next day would win!
As always, I partnered with my best friend, Vlad.That afternoon we went straight to the library.After an intense discussion, we agreed on the basic idea of having the ice cube inside a box, which would be put inside another bigger box.Between the two boxes would be the heat insulator (绝缘体).
The first test of the icebox was extremely disappointing.Since this was our first experiment,we both wanted good results to build our confidence.Before I went to bed that night, I carefully picked out a huge block of ice from our refrigerator and placed it inside the icebox.When I woke up the next morning and looked into the icebox, there wasn't even a bit of ice left.Reflecting on this failure, we were determined to find a better insulating material.Then we tried the same experiment again.This time, we made it.There was 70 percent of the ice left.
The day of the competition came very fast.We all brought our masterpieces into the classroom.Every team had a different design — from boxes made of different materials to boxes that operated in different ways.One fellow even attached a motor to his icebox and turned it into a refrigerator.Before we left school, Mr.Hussey gave each group an ice tube of the same size.We put them in the iceboxes that were placed side by side on the table.Then we left for home, hoping that we would win.
(前文讲述了科学老师总是喜欢给10年级的科学班布置有挑战性的作业。这天老师要求他们制作一个冰箱,并且进行比赛。比赛很简单:每个参赛者都会得到一块冰块,第二天剩下冰块最大的队将获胜。于是作者和朋友Vlad搭档,经过不断尝试,他们把代表作品带到教室并期待获胜。请根据前文概要及所给开头语描写作者和朋友以及班级同学第二天来看比赛结果时的场景,重点描述谁获胜了、作者及朋友的行为与感受。)

His innovative design was definitely the best.

Selina Zhang, a high schooler, has invented a trap that could potentially get rid of lanternflies in the city.She first noticed this pest in grade school.At the time, Zhang was visiting a market near her hometown and the colorful bugs caught her eye.
Zhang's first encounter with the lanternfly relates to the quote,“________________________” This bug whose bright red underwings stand out from black forewings (前翅) might be pretty to look at.However, it has damaged local agricultural industry for decades, and the city has been unable to remove this problem.
Not all that glitters is gold.
This insect has a healthy appetite for most plants and can feed on most crops, trees and various fruits.This invasive pest does not harm humans or animals.However, it could reduce the quality of life of people living in heavily affected areas.It is known to be a nuisance (讨厌的东西) in outdoor areas as they can lay their egg masses on trees and even vehicles.
Zhang eventually realized that this insect was a threat to Garden City and decided to do something about it.Most people choose insecticides to manage this invasion, but this can leave harmful remains.Some others use a sticky band to trap pests, but this method is also unsafe as it can trap other small animals and insects.
In search of an ecologically acceptable method, Zhang got inspiration from chess boards and the “Dance Revolution”.She conducted an extensive field observation for weeks non-stop, observing the behavioral patterns of the bugs.She studied how they grew over time and navigated (进行导航) unfamiliar structures and areas they chose to gather.After her study, Zhang knew she wanted to copy a kind of tree as a trap and used an umbrella.
She then designed an electric net for this tree, using machine learning to kill the lanternflies that landed.And she finally created a solar-powered, self-cleaning “tree” that attracts the spotted lanternfly, removing the bug with an electronic net.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了高中生Selina Zhang通过自己的观察和创新,发明了一种控制城市中入侵性害虫——斑点灯笼蝇的方法。
4.What does the quote “Not all that glitters is gold” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Things looking valuable may be worthless.
B.Zhang's hometown fails to get rid of the bug.
C.Bodies of the beautiful lanternflies are shining.
D.The bug destroys agricultural industry despite its beauty.
√
解析:句意理解题。根据第二段中“This bug ... the city has been unable to remove this problem.”可知,斑点灯笼蝇看起来很漂亮,但实际上对农业造成了破坏,“Not all that glitters is gold.(并非所有闪光的都是金子)”与其语义一致。
5.What can be learned about lanternflies?
A.They live on greens and animals.
B.They have a bad effect on people's life.
C.People hate them laying eggs everywhere.
D.Their underwings are shorter than their forewings.
解析:细节理解题。根据第三段中“This invasive pest does not harm humans or animals.However, it could reduce the quality of life of people living in heavily affected areas.”可知,斑点灯笼蝇对人类的生活有负面影响,故选B。
√
6.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The application of the trap.
B.The source of the trap.
C.The process of inventing the trap.
D.The challenges of designing the trap.
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段“She then designed an electric net ... removing the bug with an electronic net.”可知,本段主要讲述了Zhang寻找捕捉斑点灯笼蝇的方法的过程,故选C。
√
7.Which of the following can best describe Zhang?
A.Determined and innovative.
B.Creative and outgoing.
C.Reliable and knowledgeable.
D.Intelligent and confident.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段中“Zhang eventually realized ... decided to do something about it.”,第五段中“She conducted an extensive field observation for weeks non-stop”以及最后一段“She then designed an electric net for this tree ... removing the bug with an electronic net.”可知,Zhang在发现问题后,坚持不懈地寻找解决方案,并最终创新性地发明了一种陷阱,所以Zhang是一个有决心且善于创新的人。故选A。
C
A major new facility to pull CO2 out of the atmosphere has started operating in Iceland.Experts say the new technology could eventually play an important role in reducing greenhouse gases.
The plant in southwest Iceland is the biggest of its kind.It is able to capture 900 tons of CO2 every year but it needs heat and electricity to work.It is using energy produced from waste and is built on the roof of a waste incineration (焚烧) plant, and through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated.
Human-sized fans are built into a series of boxes.They take CO2 out of the air, catching it in sponge-like filters (过滤器).The filters are exploded with heat, freeing the gas, which is then mixed with water and pumped (用泵输送) into deep underground caves, where over time it turns into dark-gray stone.Pumping CO2 into the ground is just one way to deal with it.The makers are also selling the gas to be used again.The CO2 can be captured just a few 100 miles away.It is pumped through an underground pipeline directly into a greenhouse.Vegetables and plants love CO2 and higher concentrations of the gas within the greenhouse improve the growth of plants.
By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 from the atmosphere every year through direct air capture technology to achieve carbon neutral goals.The plant in Iceland will be able to capture 4,000 metric tons annually — just a small amount of what will be necessary, but one company that built it says it can grow rapidly as efficiency improves and costs decrease.
“This is a market that does not yet exist, but a market that urgently needs to be built,” said Christoph Gebald.“This plant is really the blueprint to further increase the size and really industrialize.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了冰岛的一家碳捕集工厂以及碳捕集技术的原理,并对该技术进行了展望。
8.How does the carbon capture facility work?
A.It needs heat and water to work.
B.Energy is produced by burning waste.
C.Carbon capture generates a lot of heat and electricity.
D.It produces lots of heat and electricity during operation.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“...through the burning of rubbish, energy is generated”可知,碳捕集设备通过燃烧垃圾产生能量。
√
9.What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A.The methods of breaking down CO2.
B.The approaches to reusing waste gas.

√
10.What can we expect from the future carbon capture technology?
A.It will decrease the cost of energy production.
B.It can help reach the carbon neutral goals in advance.
C.It will speed up the reduction of CO2 levels in the air.
D.It may replace the traditional carbon storage system.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“By 2050, humanity will need to pull nearly a billion metric tons of CO2 ...to achieve carbon neutral goals.”可知,未来的碳捕集技术将加速降低空气中的二氧化碳含量。
11.What is Christoph Gebald's attitude towards building the plants?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral.
C.Disapproving. D.Uncaring.
解析:观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“This plant is really the blueprint to further increase the size and really industrialize.”可知,Christoph Gebald认为这座工厂确实是进一步扩大规模和真正工业化的蓝图,故他对建造这样的工厂持支持态度。

Robots did not write this sentence, or any other part of Nature.But that could change.Dramatic shifts in labor are reshaping society, the environment and the political landscape.Consider this disorienting estimate from the World Economic Forum:65% of the children entering primary schools now will grow up to work in jobs that do not yet exist.This week, Nature asks,“What light is research shedding on the future of work, and how will the changes affect scientists' working world?”
A news feature explores which jobs are most at risk of being replaced by artificial intelligence and machine learning, whether a gig economy (零工经济) will democratize work, and what programs will best prepare workers.“There's a huge need and a huge opportunity to study the changes,” says economist Erik Brynjolfsson.And the scientific workforce is feeling these shifts.A career feature reports people doing research outside the traditional career path.“I love freedom,” says Cecile Menard, an independent land-surface analyst in Edinburgh, the UK, “but for other people, it may be too stressful.”
Important lessons can be drawn from the past.Economic historian Robert Allen synthesizes (综合) three centuries of data to see when and where the relationship between wages and productivity is most like today's and finds that some regions are in uncharted (未知的) waters.These changes call for new socio-economic models and a revolution in education, concludes historian Yuval Noah Harari.And economist Ian Goldin argues that our era has more parallels with the Renaissance than the Industrial Revolution.This time, he urges, knowledge and enquiry must find a way to conquer prejudice and ignorance.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着技术的发展和人工智能进入人们的生活,未来社会人们的工作、生活以及环境等都会得到重组,这是人们对未来工作的预测。

√
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“65% of the children entering primary schools now will grow up to work in jobs that do not yet exist”可知,现在上小学的很多孩子未来所从事的工作是现在没有的,即未来会出现一些新的工作。
13.What's Cecile Menard's attitude to the changes in future work?
A.Negative. B.Doubtful.
C.Positive. D.Indifferent.
解析:观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句中的“I love freedom”可知,Cecile Menard对未来工作中的各种变化持积极态度。
√
14.How does the author organize the last paragraph?
A.By making comparison.
B.By offering some examples.
C.By listing some important data.

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them. _____ Outside life is shut out.So are you one of “them”?
16
For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. _____ What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says, “I'm not available for chatting at the moment!”
Suppose you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough, but a colleague suddenly turns up.At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration. _____ Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that “Go away!” signal.
17
18
_____ It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family.While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume on their music player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.
19
Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears, but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instruments.We'll be in a virtual world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like.In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in. _____ And they are changing our social habits along the way.
20
In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange — suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore.
A.Our instruments are changing quickly.
B.I also have wires hanging from my ears.
C.In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.
D.I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment.
E.After all, I am listening to my favorite music and would rather not be disturbed.
F.Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.
G.They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal “digital noise reduction systems”.

Technology and Life
Hello, everyone!
Over the last few decades, new technologies have been constantly appearing, which has greatly changed our life.It is recognized that facial recognition makes it easier for us to get into stations, the airport and other places.Also, the high-speed railway shortens the travelling time between two cities,enabling us to visit more places conveniently.In addition, mobile payment allows us to pay for everything wherever there is a QR code.
As is known to us, technologies are all around us.Obviously, they have made our life more efficient and colorful.However, as the saying goes, “Every coin has two sides.” Only by making better use of them can we become the master of life.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My dad, John, was a basketball fan.He played in college and even coached a local youth team for a few years.His love for the game was unbelievable, and some of my earliest memories are of us playing basketball in the nearby court.I've even seen old photos of him in his college days, a proud smile on his face as he held a basketball.But when it came to my own involvement in basketball, he was surprisingly positive that I should focus only on study.“Basketball won't pay the bills,” he'd often say, a statement that always struck me as ironic (讽刺的) given how much he loved the sport.
I loved basketball too, and I was pretty good at it.My school coach, Coach Miller, saw potential in me and encouraged me to join the school team.He said I had a natural talent that could take me far if I trained hard.But my dad was against it.He believed that sports would distract me from my studies, and with the final exam around the corner, he didn't want to take any chances.“Your future is in the classroom, not on the court,” he would insist, dashing my dreams of following in his athletic footsteps.
This tension between us reached a peak when my head teacher, Mrs.Williams, announced a school basketball tournament.It was a big deal; students from the whole city would come to watch.My friends were excited, and even some teachers were talking about it.However, I knew I couldn't participate without my dad's approval.It felt like an invisible chain holding me back, a conflict between my passion and his expectations.
Then something unexpected happened.Mrs.Williams called my dad for a meeting.I was nervous but also hopeful.Mrs.Williams was not just an educator; she was also a parent and understood the balance between academics and extracurricular activities.She had seen students succeed in both, and I hoped she could convince my dad.
After the meeting, my dad seemed to be in deep thought.He didn't speak immediately, taking his time as if weighing his words carefully.Finally, he broke the silence, “Mrs.Williams made some good points about teamwork and discipline.Maybe it's time to rethink my stance (立场) on you playing basketball.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
I was thrilled but also cautious.“So, can I play in the tournament?” I asked. ________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As I scanned the audience, I spotted my dad. _________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
I was thrilled but also cautious.“So, can I play in the tournament?” I asked.Dad met my gaze with a thoughtful expression before finally breaking into a nod.“Sure,” he said. “Playing in college and coaching that youth team were some of the best times of my life.I shouldn't deprive you of the right to pursue your passion.” The moment I heard Dad's words, I was so excited that I couldn't help but spring to my feet.The tournament was super fun.We got to the finals, and I even made the last shot that won us the game.The crowd got all excited and started clapping and cheering.
As I scanned the audience, I spotted my dad.He was clapping, wearing a proud smile on his face.It was the same smile I had seen in old photos of him playing basketball.After the game, he gave me a warm, tight hug.“You did well, both on the court and in balancing your responsibilities.I'm proud of you.” As we walked back home, it dawned on me that basketball had done more than just win me a game.It had bridged a generational gap, promoting mutual understanding between Dad and me.UNIT 2 课时检测(六) 单元语基回顾性盘查
