Ⅱ 阅读
Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you've taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some companies are closely copying Amazon's approach to using AI－powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you've put in them. Customers pay by entering a credit card, or through an online payment system. When a customer exits the store, a green light on the shopping cart shows that their order is complete, and they're charged.
The companies behind the smart carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon's Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, co－founder of Caper, believes the technology to run Go is too expensive to use in a large－format grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve have said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said, “We're always happy when Amazon is doing something. They force retailers to get out of their old school thinking.”
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customers' privacy and the effect on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his shopping cart point down into the cart, so only a customer's hand and part of their arm will be captured (拍摄) on camera.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能购物车，介绍了这项新技术的优点并展望了其未来。
1．What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A．They are able to recognize goods put in them.
B．They are linked to the sensors fixed in the ceilings.
C．They flash the green light when the order is canceled.
D．They can tell customers where to find what they want.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These companies have ... what you've put in them.”可知，智能购物车能够识别放入其中的物品。故选A。
2．What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon's Go stores
A．It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly.
B．It is likely to help customers to buy more goods.
C．It has attracted many more retailers than before.
D．It is far more expensive than their shopping carts.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ahmed Beshry, co－founder ... large－format grocery store.(Caper的联合创始人Ahmed Beshry (艾哈迈德·贝什里)认为，运行智能购物车的技术太昂贵了，不适合在大型杂货店使用。)”可知，他认为这项技术比他们的购物车贵多了。故选D。
3．When it comes to AI and cameras, what makes the public worried most
A．That sometimes the cameras don't work.
B．That they can only buy goods online.
C．That their personal information may be leaked.
D．That goods in the stores may be more expensive.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Each time a business ... and the effect on jobs.(每当一家企业使用人工智能和摄像头时，就会引发有关客户隐私及其对就业影响的问题。)”可推知，顾客最担心的是他们的个人信息被泄露。故选C。
4．What is the main idea of the text
A．The new technology improves retail sale.
B．Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line.
C．AI－powered cameras are used in retail stores.
D．Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market.
答案：B
解析：主旨大意题。第一段提出了排队结账的问题，第二段中的“But others are trying ... smart shopping carts.”提出了解决方案：智能购物车，下文对智能购物车进行了介绍，由此可知，文章主要介绍了新的智能购物车可以帮你省去排队(的时间)。故选B。

[精彩范文]
Dear friends，
With the development of science and technology, our way of life has been changing all the time. Take the way of shopping for example. My grandmother usually covered a long distance to a small shop in town to buy goods, while my mother would like to go shopping in a supermarket near my house because it is very convenient. In recent years, many young people like me prefer to buy what we like online. I think, in the future, we can even let robots do the shopping.
How about you Do you think science and technology is reshaping our life and brings changes to our ways of shopping If so, please write me something about the changes you saw and what the future ways of shopping will be like.
读后续写
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。
A woman who had a stroke (中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot (凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.
Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn't look right”. And she also noticed her sister's voice was slurred (口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58－year－old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said, “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss (大惊小怪) and I didn't believe her.”
Mrs Sapong said, “When I called Kwapong, she said that she'd not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn't able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once.”
注意：
1．续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. Ms Kwapong said, “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life.

[精彩范文]
Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week. Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Ms Kwapong said, “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on Face Time as I'm not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life.”

Tired of standing in line Wait a bit longer, and you may never have to again.
Amazon has opened 24 of its Amazon Go stores, which use cameras and artificial intelligence (AI) to see what you've taken off shelves and charge you as you walk out. Some companies are closely copying Amazon's approach to using AI－powered cameras fixed in ceilings. But others are trying an entirely different way to skip the checkout: smart shopping carts. These companies have added cameras and sensors (传感器) to the carts, and are using AI to tell what you've put in them. Customers pay by entering a credit card, or through an online payment system. When a customer exits the store, a green light on the shopping cart shows that their order is complete, and they're charged.
The companies behind the smart carts, including Caper and Veeve, say it's much easier to add technology to the shopping cart than to an entire store. Amazon's Go stores rely on hundreds of cameras in the ceiling. The shelves also include sensors to tell when an item is removed. Ahmed Beshry, co－founder of Caper, believes the technology to run Go is too expensive to use in a large－format grocery store. Neither Caper nor Veeve have said how much their smart shopping carts will cost, making it difficult to compare the different formats. Shariq Siddiqui, CEO of Veeve, said, “We're always happy when Amazon is doing something. They force retailers to get out of their old school thinking.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了智能购物车，介绍了这项新技术的优点并展望了其未来。
Each time a business uses artificial intelligence and cameras, it raises questions about customers' privacy and the effect on jobs. Beshry notes that the cameras in his shopping cart point down into the cart, so only a customer's hand and part of their arm will be captured (拍摄) on camera.
1．What do we know about the smart shopping carts
A．They are able to recognize goods put in them.
B．They are linked to the sensors fixed in the ceilings.
C．They flash the green light when the order is canceled.
D．They can tell customers where to find what they want.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These companies have ... what you've put in them.”可知，智能购物车能够识别放入其中的物品。故选A。
2．What does Beshry think of the technology used in Amazon's Go stores
A．It may reduce the cost of running a store greatly.
B．It is likely to help customers to buy more goods.
C．It has attracted many more retailers than before.
D．It is far more expensive than their shopping carts.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Ahmed Beshry, co－founder ... large－format grocery store.(Caper的联合创始人Ahmed Beshry (艾哈迈德·贝什里)认为，运行智能购物车的技术太昂贵了，不适合在大型杂货店使用。)”可知，他认为这项技术比他们的购物车贵多了。故选D。
3．When it comes to AI and cameras, what makes the public worried most
A．That sometimes the cameras don't work.
B．That they can only buy goods online.
C．That their personal information may be leaked.
D．That goods in the stores may be more expensive.
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Each time a business ... and the effect on jobs.(每当一家企业使用人工智能和摄像头时，就会引发有关客户隐私及其对就业影响的问题。)”可推知，顾客最担心的是他们的个人信息被泄露。故选C。
4．What is the main idea of the text
A．The new technology improves retail sale.
B．Smart shopping carts will let you skip the line.
C．AI－powered cameras are used in retail stores.
D．Artificial intelligence affects the future of job market.
解析：主旨大意题。第一段提出了排队结账的问题，第二段中的“But others are trying ... smart shopping carts.”提出了解决方案：智能购物车，下文对智能购物车进行了介绍，由此可知，文章主要介绍了新的智能购物车可以帮你省去排队(的时间)。故选B。

Dear friends，
With the development of science and technology, our way of life has been changing all the time. Take the way of shopping for example. My grandmother usually covered a long distance to a small shop in town to buy goods, while my mother would like to go shopping in a supermarket near my house because it is very convenient. In recent years, many young people like me prefer to buy what we like online. I think, in the future, we can even let robots do the shopping.
How about you Do you think science and technology is reshaping our life and brings changes to our ways of shopping If so, please write me something about the changes you saw and what the future ways of shopping will be like.
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。
A woman who had a stroke (中风) while on a Face Time video call with her sister, said the technology saved her life. Esmee Russell, head of the Stroke Association, said, “A stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, at any time. That's why it's so important that people know how to act fast: it could save a life.” Strokes happen when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off by a clot (凝块), or damaged by bleeding that causes brain cells in the affected area to die.

Opokua Kwapong, who lives alone in New York, was on a call with her sister, Adumea Sapong, in Manchester, when Mrs Sapong noticed that her elder sister “didn't look right”. And she also noticed her sister's voice was slurred (口齿不清). Ms Kwapong said she had not realised how serious the situation was.
The 58－year－old Kwapong had woken from an afternoon sleep when Mrs Sapong called her on Face Time. Ms Kwapong said, “My sister looked at me and said she could see that my face didn't look right. She also said that I was slurring my words, but I thought she was making a fuss (大惊小怪) and I didn't believe her.”
Mrs Sapong said, “When I called Kwapong, she said that she'd not been feeling well and had been feeling tired and was also having some difficulty walking. I said, ‘Perhaps you need to take some medicine.’ She tried to pick up a glass of water and wasn't able to. Then I noticed on the Face Time video call that her face was drooping. I told her she needed to hang up and immediately see a doctor. She thought I was making a fuss so I then called one of my other sisters, who is a doctor, and she could hear her speaking and could also tell that her speech was slurred. We both told her to call for help at once.”

1．续写词数应为150个左右；

Ms Kwapong hung up the call and then dialed the emergency services. The ambulance rushed to her house and nurses sent her to hospital. In hospital, Ms Kwapong was diagnosed with stroke and should stay at hospital for at least one week. Her sister Adumea Sapong looked after her. Her doctor said she was lucky to receive treatment quickly or she could have had much trouble.
Ms Kwapong said, “There is no doubt that the Internet and technology saved my life. If my sister had not noticed that something was not right, then things could have been so different. Not only did technology save my life, it now also allows me to live my life. I rely a lot on Face Time as I'm not able to travel as much as I did previously. You hear a lot of negative stories about the Internet and technology, but I think this is an example of how technology can help us in daily life.”
