A
It seems that technology could be changing the places where we live. A project conducted by Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire's School of Engineering and Technology, has built on the university's InterHome project aimed to create a home that supervises people living at home who are weak or elderly.
“We've developed a wristband type of device(装置)，” said Johann Siau, “which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or whoever is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person to see if the person has fallen or is away from where they are supposed to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted living type of device with the InterHome.” The assisted living project is part of the university's wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The house stores the usage patterns of the person living there and can adapt to making it use as little energy as possible. Connecting the two together and building the service element(元素) allow us to introduce the assisted living idea to care for the elderly. It's very important that these technologies are there to help and support rather than to replace any of the existing services.
The InterHome is not just a prototype(雏形) or a vehicle for research. It's a study tool to help students from different scientific backgrounds learn about and develop technology. The InterHome combines the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure that all the technology works together. Students get experience by developing new hardware and software themselves. It requires a variety of skills from students—electronic engineers, computer students, design students and so on. “The present plan we are working on is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies，” said Johann Siau. “We are looking at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.”

B．Provide better care and services for the elderly.

3．What can we learn about the InterHome project from the article?
A．It is a large collection of many existing technologies.
B．It is just a platform to help students to do research work.
C．It is a smart home project developed by different universities.
D．It allows students to put into use and try out what they've learned.
4．What is the main purpose of the author in writing this article?
A．To build up a new platform for students to develop new technology.
B．To show how future buildings will change elderly people's way of life.
C．To describe a new project that aims to develop a smart home for the elderly.

(2018·辽宁六校协作体高三联考)I used to believe courtesy was a thing of the past. Very seldom have I encountered a courteous human being in this modern era.
Recently, I had to change my thinking, when I came face to face with just such a human being in a coffee place, with my two daughters. The place was crowded as usual and we had to climb steep stairs in order to find an empty table. After enjoying coffee and snacks, we went down the narrow stairs, where there was hardly any space for another person to either climb up or come down.
Just as I was in the middle of the stairs, a gentleman entered the main entrance of the restaurant which was right in front of the staircase. I was sure I would be pushed roughly by this man going up. I kept coming down as fast as I could. My daughters were already down, looking up at me worriedly, hoping I would reach them before the stranger started walking up the stairs, knowing I was a nervous sort.
Nearly reaching them, I noticed the man still standing near the door. I reached my daughters and passed the stranger at the entrance door which he kept holding open. I looked back thinking he was still at the door, deciding whether to go in or find another less crowded place. I saw him going up the stairs, two at a time. I told my daughters about it and all three of us felt bad that we did not even thank the courteous gentleman who was actually holding the door open for us ladies to pass through before going up.
Such well mannered people are hard to find these days, when pushing is very common in our advanced but aggressive society. We applauded for his chivalry(骑士精神)．
5．What did the author think of the man at the first sight of him?
A．He was in a hurry. B．He would wait for her.
C．He would cross her rudely. D．He was a man with good manners.
6．Why did the author's daughters worry about her?
A．She was too old to walk fast.
B．She was easy to be disturbed.
C．She took up too much space.
D．She focused too much on the man.
7．What can we learn about the man from Paragraph 4?
A．He might be a waiter of the café.
B．He might have an urgent business to do.
C．He fell in love with one of the author's daughters.
D．He would hold the door open for all.

It was a busily day at the grocery store. Two girls were in line before me with balloons. They appeared to be in hurry so I asked if they wanted to go ahead of me. They were very thankful. One girl said she had a nephew and something badly happened to him at birth. The balloons were for his birthday. They were chatting together with their rush to get all the things done for the party because everybody offered to help. I offer to pay for the balloons. They refused at first and I insisted. I said，“Tell your sweet nephew that there're still nice people leaving in this world.” They thanked to me again and again. That little acts of kindness made them feel good and it also brightened my day!

Ⅱ.语法填空
语篇导读
本文为记叙文，介绍了三岔路交通信号灯的发明者。
1．at 解析 考查介词。句意：汽车、卡车、校车、骑自行车的人和步行去学校的学生可能同时会想冲过十字路口。at the same time同时，为固定搭配。
2．inventor 解析 考查词性转换。句意：多亏一位名叫加勒特·奥古斯塔斯·摩根的非裔美国发明家，我们才拥有了三岔路口的交通信号灯，它能帮助我们更安全地过马路。设空前有冠词an和African-American修饰，因此空处应用名词；根据named Garrett Augustus Morgan可知，此处指人。
3．received 解析 考查时态。句意：他仅仅接受了六年的教育。根据句意，此处讲述过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
4．Living 解析 考查非谓语动词。句意：他居住在俄亥俄州的辛辛那提并继续学习英语语法。live与主语he之间为主谓关系，因此用现在分词作伴随状语。
5．where 解析 考查连词。句意：之后他搬去了克利夫兰市，在那里他在一家服装厂当修理工。这是定语从句，先行词为Cleveland，引导词在从句中作地点状语，故用where引导。
6．met 解析 考查非谓语动词。句子已有谓语had，空处应用非谓语动词，meet与problems之间为动宾关系，故用过去分词作后置定语。
7．To help 解析 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了帮助减少交通事故并拯救人们的生命，他立刻开始致力于这项发明。根据句意可知，空处在句中作目的状语，故应用动词不定式。
8．immediately 解析 考查词性转换。副词作状语修饰谓语动词began。
9．a 解析 考查冠词。句意：最终，这项发明取得了巨大成功，拯救了无数生命，并在当今仍在拯救生命。success在此为抽象名词具体化，表示“一件成功的事”，其前应用不定冠词a。
10．is 解析 考查时态和主谓一致。根据时间状语today可知，此处应用一般现在时；主语为it，故填is。
Ⅲ.短文改错
It was a ① day at the grocery store. Two girls were in line ② me with balloons. They appeared to be in ③ hurry so I asked if they wanted to go ahead of me. They were very thankful. One girl said she had a nephew and something ④ happened to him at birth. The balloons were for his birthday. They were chatting together with their rush to get all the things done for the party because ⑤ offered to help. I ⑥ to pay for the balloons. They refused at first ⑦ I insisted. I said，“Tell your sweet nephew that there're still nice people ⑧ in this world.” They thanked to ⑨ me again and again. That little ⑩ of kindness made them feel good and it also brightened my day!
① 解析 day是名词，不能用副词修饰。
② 解析 由下句可知，她们是在“我”后面来的，所以是在“我”后面排队。
③ 解析 in a hurry立即，匆忙。
④ 解析 不定代词something后面的修饰词用形容词不用副词。
⑤ 解析 她们一边聊天一边赶着准备好聚会所需的所有东西，因为“没有人”愿意帮忙。
⑥ 解析 描述的是过去的事情，故用一般过去时。
⑦ 解析 句意：她们一开始是拒绝的，但是我一再坚持。前后是转折关系。
⑧ 解析 逻辑主语people与动词leave之间是动宾关系，故用过去分词；left在此处作后置定语修饰nice people，指的是“留在这个世界上的好人”。
⑨ 解析 thank为及物动词，可直接接宾语。
⑩ 解析 根据…and it also brightened my day可知，act在此处是单数形式。

我不知道他们将如何处理这个问题。
1“It＋be/动词＋时间段＋before”结构，意为“在……之后……才……”
I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage.(教材P18)
我发展很慢，差不多到了两百年之后，查尔斯·巴比奇才将我制成了一台分析机。
【句式点拨】
before引导的时间状语从句，意为“过一段时间后才/就……”；若主句为将来时，从句则用一般现在时；若主句是一般过去时或过去完成时，则从句用一般过去时。
(1)before 引导时间状语从句时，除了译成“在……之前”之外，还可表示“还没来得及……就……”，目的在于强调从句动作发生之前，主句动作已发生。
(2)“It＋be＋时间段＋since”引导的时间状语从句，表示“自从……已经有多长时间了”。主句用一般现在时或现在完成时。
①It will be half a year before you graduate from the school.
再过半年你才能毕业。
②It was not long before he sensed the danger of the position.
不久他就意识到他处境的危险。
③It is three years since she came to our class.
她来我们班已经有三年了。
2as 引导的时间状语从句
As time went by, I was made smaller.(教材P18)
随着时间的推移，我被做得更小了。
【句式点拨】
本句中as 是连词，引导时间状语从句，意为“随着……”。
【拓展延伸】
with(随着)是介词，后接名词或代词等构成with短语或with复合结构。
With time going (go) by, they became close friends.
随着时间的流逝，他们变成了好朋友。
3so/such…that…如此……以至于……
And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it！(教材P18)
我的存储量变得如此之大，甚至连我自己都不能相信！
【句式点拨】
此句中so…that…引导结果状语从句，意为“如此……以至于……”，so是副词，后面要跟形容词或副词，其用法如下：
so＋ that…
【拓展延伸】
(1)such＋
(2)当so…/such…放在句首时，主句要用部分倒装。
①It was so hot a day that nobody wanted to do anything.
