realised I would not see a real person named Sophie at Sophies Eatery because,like most new restaurants these days,Sophies is a robot-restaurant.When I walked in,a cute little robot appeared,looking rather like a toaster with blinking(眨) blue eyes.Itescorted me to a nice table in the back.The robot showed me pictures of my dining choices.I tapped my choices and clicked OK,and the screen slid back down.I watched as full plates on the conveyer belts that moved along each aisle(过道) of tables.In just a few minutes,my dish stopped at my table,and I took it from the belt.Later,I placed my empty plate back on the conveyer belt,and it was taken away into kitchen to be cleaned.I watched the little toaster showing customers to tables while I ate my main dish.The food was delicious,but I was starting to feel extremely angry because dealing with robots always made me feel inhuman.Prettysoon,I wanted to talk to someone real,even if just a few sentences.So when my dessert arrived,I took action.I dropped my plate on the floor with a satisfying crash.I was so happy when I saw the manager toasters blinking red eyesat last,a real person would arrive!But instead,a crew of two robots quickly appeared.A robot broom rushed over and started to sweep the pieces of the broken plate into a robot garbage can.They finished and moved back into the kitchen.My plan to see a real person in Sophies Eatery failed.I hope the robot-restaurant trend ends soon.I want to deal with people again!4.What does the underlined word “escorted” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Registered.B.Guided.C.Conducted.D.Rushed.答案B解析词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“IwatchedthelittletoastershowingcustomerstotableswhileIatemymaindish.”可知,机器人把顾客带到餐桌前。因此句子“Itescortedmetoanicetableintheback.”中的escort应与show同义,即escort意为“带领;引导”。register“注册”;guide“引导”;conduct“指挥”;rush“奔跑”。故选B项。5.What is the purpose of the author crashing his plate?A.To deal with a real human.B.To catch attention from the robots.C.To play jokes on the robots.D.To complain about the bad service.答案A解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Prettysoon,Iwantedtotalktosomeonereal,evenifjustafewsentences.”可知,作者想和一个人说说话,哪怕只有几句。接下来当甜点到的时候,作者采取了行动,把盘子掉在地板上。作者砸盘子的目的是想和一个真正的人说说话。故选A项。6.Which of the following best describes the authors feeling at Sophies Eatery?A.Satisfied.B.Shocked.C.Annoyed.D.Curious.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Thefoodwasdelicious,butIwasstartingtofeelextremelyangry.”可知,作者对这家餐厅很生气。satisfied“满意的”;shocked“震惊的”;annoyed“气恼的”;curious“好奇的”。故选C项。7.What is the text mainly about?A.The trend of dining with robots.B.The advantages of robot-restaurants.C.The food varieties of a robot-restaurant.D.The dining experience at a robot-restaurant.答案D解析主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“MyplantoseearealpersoninSophiesEateryfailed.Ihopetherobot-restauranttrendendssoon.Iwanttodealwithpeopleagain!”可知,作者在该餐厅中见到真人的想法落空了,作者希望机器人在餐厅中服务的趋势能尽快结束。因此文章描述了作者在机器人餐厅的用餐体验,表达的是对有真人服务的餐厅的渴望。故选D项。C(2019江苏如皋高一上学期期末)Slowly but surely,were moving closer and closer to 5G world.From smart-home security to self-driving cars,all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay.Objectivelyspeaking,the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps.But by comparison 5G promises gigabit speeds.“5G is one of those signs,along with artificial intelligence,of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig,senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association.“The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age,and that is to say,it is a sign of time,because with one single task,driving,you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself,and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves.Its pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane.It could be weather information,but also connected infrastructure(基础设施) construction.Theres lots of data behind that task,which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset havent yet broken the mainstream,but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones.With 5G,that could actually happen.This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist or perhaps even replace smartphones.Ericsson stated at Februarys Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection,because instead of being weighed down with components,the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But dont get too excited.Theres still a lot of work to be done in the meantime,including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isnt concentrated only in big cities.8.What does the author want to stress in paragraph 1?A.The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B.The expectation of 5G world.C.The difference between 4G and 5G.D.The internet-connected devices in our life.答案A解析推理判断题。首段先提出5G时代即将来临,接下来介绍5G上网下载的高速度,相比于目前的4G,5G有望达到千兆的上网速度。作者在第一段想强调5G的超级速度。故选A项。9.What does the underlined word “emblem” in paragraph 2 mean?A.Exhibition.B.Success.C.Symbol.D.Explanation.答案C解析词义猜测题。画线词后的andthatistosay,itisasignoftime(也就是说,这是时间的标志)是对前面的补充说明。由此推知,画线词的意思是“标志,象征”。故选C项。10.We can infer from the text that . A.5G world wont come without AR glassesB.5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC.Apple Company is developing AR glasses worldwideD.Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“ThisisnotablebecausecompaniessuchasApplearereportedlydevelopingARglassestoassistorperhapsevenreplacesmartphones.”(这一点值得注意,因为据报道,苹果等公司正在开发AR眼镜,以协助甚至取代智能手机)可推断出,科技公司将面临智能手机可能被取代的事实。故选D项。11.What will the author probably tell us next?A.How to fully expand 5G coverage.B.Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C.Why 5G isnt concentrated in big cities.D.The importance of infrastructure construction.答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Butdontgettooexcited.Theresstillalotofworktobedoneinthemeantime,includingvarioustrialstomakesuretheradiosplaynicelywithhardwareandinfrastructureconstructionso5Gisntconcentratedonlyinbigcities.”(但是不要太激动。与此同时,仍有很多工作要做,包括各种试验,以确保收音机能很好地配合硬件和基础设施建设,这样5G就不会只集中在大城市)可知,作者接下来可能会告诉我们“如何全面扩大5G覆盖范围”。故选A项。DThinking about the future isnt a special skill.Actually,everyone does it all the time.We schedule future activities and appointments on our calendars.We make to-do lists,a promise to ourselves of how we will spend our future time and energy.We look up the weekends weather.We make predictions about the results of sporting events.Wepractise,study and train for upcoming events that matter to us.We daydream about events were eagerly looking forward to.We worry about others.Most of this common future thinking is about the near future:the next few minutes,hours,days,weeks,months or maybe even the next few years of our lives.Little time is spent thinking about what our lives will be like or what actions we should prepare to take in the far future:tenyears,twentyyears,or even fifty years from now.This kind of far-future thinking is the domain of professional futurists.Futurists are trained to imagine distant realities that seem impossible to others:technologies that dont exist yet,great changes to laws,strange diseases most likely to infect us in the year 2031.Why indeed think about such distant futures?Are there psychological and social benefits to imagining the world,and our lives,decades in advance?And if so,what does it take to become good at imagining the far future?These were the fascinating questions that we recently explored with other futurists.I was personally inspired by the discussions,and learned a lot about how futurists imagine the future of life.They specifically wanted to use their imaginations to make the world a better place.Another big benefit for me was that this way of thinking is a skill that can be taught.Society would benefit greatly if we all learned the valuable skills that enable us to think about what things would be like in the future.12.The writer gives many examples in the first paragraph to . A.draw readers attentionB.explain the topicC.entertain readersD.tell readers the main idea of the passage答案B解析推理判断题。第一段中,作者举一系列例子是为了来解释“Thinkingaboutthefutureisntspecialskill.Actually,everyonedoesitallthetime.”这个观点,故选B项。13.The underlined word,“domain”,in the second paragraph can be replaced by “”. A.understandingB.choiceC.fieldD.rule答案C解析词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“.whatourliveswillbelikeorwhatactionsweshouldpreparetotakeinthefarfuture.”(我们的生活将会是什么样子或我们在遥远的未来应该采取什么行动)可知,这种类型的未来思考应是专业未来主义者思考的范围。可推出domain是“领域”的意思。故选C项。14.Which of the following things might a futurist think about?A.The result of sporting event being held.B.The weather of the coming weekend.C.A new technology widely used in daily life.D.A life-threatening disease that doesnt exist yet.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Futuristsaretrainedtoimaginedistantrealitiesthatseemimpossibletoothers:technologiesthatdontexistyet.strangediseasesmostlikelytoinfectusintheyear2031.”可知,未来主义者被训练想象似乎对别人来说不可能的遥远的现实:还不存在的技术,有可能在2031年感染奇怪的疾病。所以只有D项有可能是未来主义者考虑的。故选D项。15.What does the writer want to tell us in the last paragraph?A.The way futurists imagine the future of life is interesting.B.Society will benefit a lot if we all train ourselves to think as a futurist.C.It is impossible for us to think about future things as futurists.D.The idea of using imagination to make the world a better place is ridiculous.答案B解析主旨大意题。根据最后一段的“.ifwealllearnedthevaluableskillsthatenableustothinkaboutwhatthingswouldbelikeinthefuture.”可知,作者认为如果我们都学会了这种使我们能够思考未来事物的宝贵技能,那社会将会受益良多。故选B项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2019福建三明第一中学高一上学期期中)Earthquake
