(2018湖南岳阳教学质量检测二)
Junxi Emma Yang played Carnegie Hall before she got to high school.But her piano skills may have to take a back seat to her programming skill.
According to World Journal,a U.S.-based Chinese media organization,Emma,a 14-year-old student at the Brearley School in Manhattan,New York started coding when she was 6.Four years later,her beloved grandmother began developing
Alzheimer’s.
When Emma’s family moved to New York from Hong Kong in 2014,she became passionate about programming.By the time she was 10,her grandmother had already developed the disease.
Emma got right to work.With her coding skills,she had a smartphone app created before long,designed to help people suffering from Alzheimer’s.
“Now,‘Timeless’ has moved to the second stage of design,”says Emma.
Emma hopes her grandmother can benefit from the artificial intelligence technology built into “Timeless”,the app Emma has developed,to overcome her memory loss.
Emma’s newly finished app has gained support from Dr.Melissa Kramps,an Alzheimer’s specialist,and from Kairo,a developer specializing in artificial intelligence.
“Timeless” uses facial recognition to remind someone with Alzheimer’s of vital information about the person whose photo they are looking at on their screen.It also signals whether they have just called somebody.
The app also allows for the photo-talking,then moves to identify the people on the screen.
The Timeless project is featured on the website Indiegogo for fundraising.Emma is hoping to raise $50,000 and work alongside professional programmers to have “Timeless” lunched by the end of 2018.
Many people have hailed Emma for her efforts.Bill Gates voiced his support,commending her on her bid to help bridge the gap between people with Alzheimer’s and the ones they love.
1.What do we know about Emma?
A.She is better at the piano than programming.
B.Alzheimer’s failed to attack Emma’s granny.
C.She used to live in China before moving to U.S.
D.Her app is going to be launched all by herself.
2.Why is Emma trying to create the app “Timeless”?
A.To benefit from the artificial intelligence technology.
B.To work alongside professional programmers.
C.To gain reputation and become famous after school.
D.To help her grandmother overcome the disease.
3.What is it like if someone develops Alzheimer’s according to the passage?
A.He will lose his memory. B.He will lose his hearing.
C.He will lose his ability to walk. D.He will lose his ability to take photos.
4.Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “hailed” in the last paragraph?
A.Thanked. B.Blamed.
C.Praised. D.Criticized.
语篇解读:本文主要讲述了埃玛的祖母得了阿尔茨海默病,为了帮助祖母克服失忆,埃玛研发了一款名叫“Timeless”的应用程序。她的发明得到很多人的支持和好评。
答案及剖析:
1.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的When Emma’s family moved to New York from Hong Kong in 2014,she became passionate about programming.可知,埃玛一家在搬到美国纽约之前,曾生活在中国香港。
2.D 细节理解题。根据第六段中的Emma hopes her grandmother can benefit from the artificial intelligence technology built into “Timeless”,the app Emma has developed,to overcome her memory loss.可知,埃玛研发“Timeless”应用程序是想利用人工智能技术帮助她的祖母克服失忆。
3.A 推理判断题。根据文中的to overcome her memory loss可推知,得了阿尔茨海默病的人会失去记忆。
4.C 词义猜测题。根据最后一段中的Bill Gates voiced his support,commending her on her bid to help bridge the gap between people with Alzheimer’s and the ones they love.可知,许多人赞扬埃玛。由此可猜测,hail的意思是“称赞”。
B
(2018贵州贵阳适应性考试一)
A “Game of Thrones” themed hotel made just of snow and ice has been finished in Lapland,Finland.Located in the resort of Kittila,which is 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Helsinki,the destination is made up of 24 rooms—10 of which are suites for guests staying overnight.
Temperatures reach -5℃ inside,so high-quality thermal (保暖的) sleeping bags are on hand to keep guests warm,as well as a hot berry juice in the morning.Although it’s recommended that guests stay at the hotel for a maximum of one night due to the icy conditions,there are warm log cabins available should they wish to extend their stay in the Snow Village.Guests can also visit a restaurant,cinema,chapel and bar,all made entirely of snow and ice.Guests also receive a guided tour inside the Snow Village,a buffet breakfast in the log restaurant,and a diploma to commemorate their stay.
Travelers can book an overnight visit at the snow hotel or simply take a day trip to the Snow Village,which covers an area of about 20,000 square meters.The village is open for visitors daily and has a cinema,a chapel,an arctic bar that serves drinks in glasses carved from ice,and a restaurant with frozen dining furniture and a menu featuring special steak.
While it’s been constructed yearly since 2000,this is the first time the Snow Village has included a “Game of Thrones” themed section.
Kittila is also a great location to view the Northern Lights,and Snow Village offers snowmobile safaris (旅行)where guests can try to catch a glimpse of Greenland’s natural phenomena,as well as activities like reindeer-sledding and ice-sculpting classes.
5.What can we learn about the themed hotel from the first paragraph?
A.It is 200 kilometers from Helsinki.
B.It is 110 kilometers from the Arctic Circle.
C.It is in the resort of Kittila.
D.It is made up of 34 rooms.
6.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “commemorate”?
A.Prove. B.Comfort. C.Cover. D.Pay.
7.What is the area of the Snow Village?
A.About 2,000 square meters. B.About 18,000 square meters.
C.About 20,000 square meters. D.About 22,000 square meters.
8.In which column of a website can we find the text?
A.Geography. B.Travel. C.Climate. D.Culture.
语篇解读:文章为旅游者介绍了芬兰拉普兰的冰雪主题酒店及附近雪村的详情。
答案及剖析:
5.C 细节理解题。根据第一段中的Located in the resort of Kittila可知C项正确。根据which is 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle and around 90 minutes from Helsinki可知A、B两项错误;根据the destination is made up of 24 rooms可知D项错误。
6.A 词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的句意可知,游客可以在导游的陪同下参观雪村,在原木餐馆里吃一份自助早餐,还能得到一张纪念他们在此处待过的证书。由此可知,a diploma to commemorate their stay指“纪念他们在此待过的证书”,由此可猜测,commemorate意为“纪念”,用prove(证明)替换commemorate与原句意义相近。
7.C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的the Snow Village,which covers an area of about 20,000 square meters可知雪村的面积。
8.B 推理判断题。文章为旅游者介绍了芬兰拉普兰的冰雪主题酒店及附近雪村的详情,属于旅游内容,应该出自网站的旅游栏目。
Ⅱ.语法填空(2018福建高三毕业班质量检测)
No one is sure how many Americans belong to reading groups called book clubs.Yet 1. (publisher) and bookstores report that more and more people throughout the United States are joining 2. (they).?
Most of the clubs work the same way.Members read the same book at the same time.Then they meet to talk about the book.Members may be friends or people
3. live near each other.Some Americans belong to reading groups on
4. Internet.These groups include people around the world who communicate about books they read.They send electronic mails instead of gathering
5. (discuss) books.?
Most reading groups study books by 6. (variety) writers.However,some groups read the work of a single writer,7. (usual) one that has been famous for a while.Other groups may 8.

(choose) reading materials.One member of a Holmes reading group,for example,can identify almost every person in every Sherlock Holmes story.?
语篇解读:越来越多的美国人正在加入读书俱乐部,读书俱乐部也有各种各样的活动形式。随着科技的发展,现在也有网上读者俱乐部。
答案及剖析:
1.publishers 句意:然而出版商和书店告知,越来越多的美国人正在加入读书俱乐部。根据语境及后面的bookstores可知,此处所指的出版商不止一个,且设空处为可数名词,故填publishers。
2.them 句意见上题剖析。设空处在及物动词之后作宾语,应用宾格,且指代上文提到的book clubs,为复数,故填them。
3.who/that 句意:会员们之间可能是朋友或者是住的比较近的人。分析句子结构可知,设空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词people,在定语从句中作主语,指人,故填who/that。
4.the 句意:有些美国人加入了网上的读书俱乐部。on the Internet为固定搭配,故填the。
5.to discuss 句意:他们发电子邮件而不是聚在一起讨论图书。根据句意可知,设空处应用不定式表目的,故填to discuss。
6.various 句意:大多数的读书俱乐部会读不同作者的书。设空处应用形容词修饰名词writers,故填various。
7.usually 句意:然而有些读书俱乐部也会读某一个作者的书,通常是一段时间以来已经小有名气的作者。设空处应用副词,修饰整句话,故填usually。
8.be named 句意:其他一些俱乐部可能是以作者作品中的一个重要人物命名的,比如一个叫夏洛克·福尔摩斯的俱乐部。设空处作谓语,且主语和name为逻辑上的被动关系,情态动词后用动词原形,故填be named。
9.like 句意见上一题剖析。设空处是举例,意为“像”,故填like。
10.chosen 句意:这些读书俱乐部的很多成员在他们挑选的阅读材料方面是专家。设空处应用形容词修饰名词短语reading materials,故填chosen。
Ⅲ.短文改错(2018山东枣庄一模)
We had an English storytelling competition day before yesterday.It is required that all the compositions be original and interesting,and be presenting in English within five minutes.All my classmates took an actively part in the activity.Two foreign English teachers were invited to act like judges.In the end,Li Ping had got the first prize.All the participants said the activity benefited us a lot in many ways.Not only did it improved their spoken English,and it also brought them much fun.We all hope that such kinds of activity can be held again.
答案:We had an English storytelling competition day before yesterday.It required that all the compositions be original and interesting,and be in English within five minutes.All my classmates took an part in the activity.Two foreign English teachers were invited to act judges.In the end,Li Ping got the first prize.All the participants said the activity benefited a lot in many ways.Not only did it their spoken English, it also brought them much fun.We all hope that such kinds of can be held again.
剖析:the day before yesterday为固定搭配,意为“前天”。
全文主要用一般过去时讲述过去的事情,故此处也应用一般过去时,且主语是It。
主语all the compositions和动词present之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,故将presenting改为presented。
此处修饰名词part,应用形容词。
根据语境可知,此处表示“邀请了两位英语外教担任裁判”。act as为固定搭配,意为“充当;担当”。
此事发生在过去,应用一般过去时;had done为过去完成时,表示过去的过去,不符合
语境。
此处指代句子的主语All the participants,应用第三人称复数形式的代词。
not only...but also...置于句首时,not only后的句子部分倒装。助动词did提前,已经表明时态,动词improve应用原形。
not only...but also...为固定结构,意为“不但……而且……”。
前面有such kinds of修饰,应用名词复数形式。
