Ⅴ.【文章大意】 这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了香港科技大学的一位科学家开发人工眼帮助盲人获得光明。
1.C 细节理解题。由第一段“Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists don’t have the technology. To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently.”可知,他发明人工眼的目的是帮助盲人获得光明。故选C项。
2.A 段落大意题。由第二段“The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material.”可知,第二段主要讲人工眼的结构设计。故选A项。
3.B 细节理解题。由第三段“In theory, this artificial eye could see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimetre while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per square centimetre.”可知,理论上人工眼可能比真正的眼睛看得更清楚。故选B项。
4.A 推理判断题。由尾段“Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight, which is super hard to achieve.”(不过,威斯康星大学的电气工程师姜宏瑞认为,工程师们需要一种更实用、更有效的方法,生产大量的人造眼球的背面的细线,使其具有超人的视力,而这很难实现。)可知,他认为这个设想很难达成。所以他对香港科技大学科学家开发的人工眼持怀疑的态度。故选A项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了手机发明者马丁·库帕的经历,以及他对手机发展的看法和担忧。
1.C 根据前文“The first cellphone was invented more than fifty years ago.”可知,此处应是说第一个开发手机的是马丁·库帕。故选C。 operate操作; apply应用;build开发;discover发现。

4.D 根据前文to create wireless phones that could work in vehicles and also be carried可知,可以在汽车上工作又可以随身携带的无线电话,应该是便携式的。下文“Cooper made the first public call from a hand-held portable telephone on April 3, 1973.”也是提示。故选D。available可获得的; suitable合适的;changeable可变的;portable便携式的。
5.B 根据后文“…about 1.1 kilograms and was 23 centimetres long.”可知,此处指手机重约1.1公斤,长23厘米。故选B。add增加;weigh有……重;lose失去; remain仍然是。
6.D 根据前文“Cooper made the first public call from a hand-held portable telephone on April 3, 1973.”可知,此处指库帕的发明。故选D。dream梦想;advice建议; fame名声; invention发明。
7.A 根据后文“I am…when I see some people crossing the street and…their cellphones.”可知,一些人过马路时都在看手机,说明他们太沉迷于他们的手机。故选A。 obsessed(对……)着迷的;satisfied满意的;impressed印象深刻的;careful仔细的。
8.C 根据“…when I see some people crossing the street and…their cellphones.”可知,看到人过马路玩手机,作为手机的发明者是难过的。故选C。thankful感激的; excited兴奋的;sad难过的; lucky幸运的。

[2024·福建福州八校联考高二期末]
Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists don’t have the technology. To bring that one step closer to reality, Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently. The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may outperform human eyes.
The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight to the retina(视网膜)—an area at the back of the eyeball covered in light-detecting cells. The design for a new artificial eye is based on the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive material. At the back of the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with nanoscale light sensors(纳米级光感器). Those sensors measure light that passes through the lens(晶状体) at the front of the eye. Wires attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors to the processor, similar to the way nerve networks connect the eyeball to the brain.
“In the future, we can use this to replace damaged human eyes,” says the lead designer. In theory, this artificial eye could see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimetre while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per square centimetre. Besides, the artificial eyeball records changes in lighting faster than human eyes can—within about 30 to 40 milliseconds, rather than 40 to 150 milliseconds. Although its 100-degree field of view isn’t as broad as the 150 degrees a human eye can take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in poor light.
Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more practical and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight, which is super hard to achieve.
( )1.Why does Zhiyong Fan develop the artificial eye
A.To replace people’s real eyeballs.
B.To gain sharper vision.
C.To help the blind gain their eyesight.
D.To help normal eyes perform better.
( )2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about

C.The advantages of the artificial eye.
D.The material used for the artificial eye.

The first cellphone was invented more than fifty years ago. The man who 1 that phone, Martin Cooper, is now 96 years old.
In the early 1970s, Cooper worked for an American technology company. At the time the company and other manufacturers were 2 to create wireless phones that could work in vehicles and also be carried. There was 3 between manufacturers to build the first truly 4 phone.
Cooper made the first public call from a hand-held portable telephone on April 3, 1973. The device, called Dyna TAC, 5 about 1.1 kilograms and was 23 centimetres long.
Today while Cooper is pleased that his 6 has opened up a series of technological possibilities for cellphone users, he thinks many people are just too 7 with their devices. “I am 8 when I see some people crossing the street and 9 their cellphones. They are out of their minds,” Cooper said.
The modern progress of cellphones is sure to continue long into the future. Cooper 10 cellphone batteries could even be replaced by body 11 . “You ingest food, and you create energy. Why not have this receiver for your ear embedded under your skin, powered by your body ” he imagined.

[2024·福建福州八校联考高二期末]
Blind people have long desired for brightness, but scientists
don't have the technology. To bring that one step closer to reality,
Zhiyong Fan, a materials scientist of the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology, developed a new artificial eye recently.
The device, which is about as sensitive to light and has sharper
vision and a faster reaction time than a real eyeball, may
outperform human eyes.
1

The human eye owes its wide field of view and clear eyesight
to the retina(视网膜)—an area at the back of the eyeball covered in
light-detecting cells. The design for a new artificial eye is based on
the structure of the human eye and uses a friendly light-sensitive
material. At the back of the eyeball, an artificial retina is lined with
nanoscale light sensors(纳米级光感器). Those sensors measure light
that passes through the lens(晶状体) at the front of the eye. Wires
attached to the back of the retina send signals from those sensors
to the processor, similar to the way nerve networks connect the
eyeball to the brain.

“In the future, we can use this to replace damaged human
eyes,” says the lead designer. In theory, this artificial eye could
see more clearly than the human eye, because the artificial retina
contains about 460 million light sensors per square centimetre
while a real retina has about 10 million light-detecting cells per
square centimetre. Besides, the artificial eyeball records changes in
lighting faster than human eyes can—within about 30 to 40
milliseconds, rather than 40 to 150 milliseconds. Although its 100-
degree field of view isn't as broad as the 150 degrees a human
eye can take in, the device can see as well as the human eye in

poor light.
Hongrui Jiang, an electrical engineer at the University of
Wisconsin, though, thinks engineers need a much more practical
and efficient way to produce vast series of tiny wires on the back
of the artificial eyeball to give it superhuman sight, which is super
hard to achieve.
