Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
(2020·沈阳教学质量监测一)With smart technology increasingly influencing all aspects of our lives, it is only a matter of time before someone invents smart shoes—ones that can be made based on personal needs. Called “ShiftWear”, the sneakers are the brainchild of a team of businessmen, and engineers led by New Yorkbased designer David Coelho.
The adaptable shoes can be customized by using a smart phone app. Shoe owners will have the option of selecting a design from a variety of HD patterns by famous artists or creating one themselves. The company’s founders imagine the marketplace where artists can not only share but also sell their designs to others. Despite being electronic, the designs are clearly visible even in the brightest sunlight. What’s even cooler is that by switching on backlight, users can even show their designs in the dark!
20
According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed. Though they will need periodic recharging, active users have nothing to worry about. That’s because the shoes are equipped with special WalkNCharge technology that powers the shoes—with every step. Inactive users also have options of charging the sneakers without using wires.
The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear. Even better, they are completely waterproof(防水的) and can even be thrown into an ordinary laundry machine for a quick wash! The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1,000 depending on the size of the EPanels where the designs are displayed.
This is not the first time that electronics and shoes have combined. Lithuaniabased iShuh Technologies has come up with a similar concept that connects ereader panels to a smart phone app via the Bluetooth. Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了一种智能运动鞋。
1.What can we know about the smart shoes from the text?
A.The electronic designs can not be seen clearly at night.
B.The designers make sure every pair of sneakers is unique.
C.The bottom part of the shoes can last longer due to special materials.
D.The shoes have to be washed by hand to protect the electronics.
C 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“The bottom part of the shoes is covered with Kevlar fibers, a kind of strong material, reducing normal wear and tear.”可知,鞋子的底部附着凯芙拉合成纤维,这是一种增强材料,可以减少正常的磨损;据此可知,由于使用了特殊的材料,这种鞋子的鞋底耐磨,故C项正确。
2.What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A.How the sneakers are charged.
B.How the sneakers can work well.
C.What images the sneakers show.
D.What technology the sneakers carry.
A 解析:段落大意题。通读第三段可知,该段第一句“According to Coelho, the sneakers will keep their charge forever if only images are displayed.”为该段的主题句,并结合全段内容可知,该段主要介绍了这种鞋子是如何充电的:活跃的用户可以通过走路来充电,不活跃的用户也可以不用电线充电,故A项正确。
20
3.The varied prices of the sneakers mainly depend on ________.
A.the length of the shoes
B.the size of their EPanels
C.the designers of the shoes
D.the material of their bottoms
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第四段尾句“The company predicts that the shoes will range in price from $150 to $1,000 depending on the size of the EPanels where the designs are displayed.”可知,该公司预计,这款鞋的价格范围将是150美元到1 000美元,这取决于展示这些设计的电子显示屏的尺寸,故B项正确。
4.How does the author feel about the sneakers’future market?
A.Negative. B.Anxious.
C.Uncertain. D.Confident.
C 解析:观点态度题。根据尾段最后一句“Whether these smart shoes become as popular as our smart devices remains to be seen, though they surely are attractive.”可知,尽管这些智能鞋子很有吸引力,但是它们是否会像我们的智能设备一样流行还有待观察;据此可推知,作者对这种鞋子的未来并不确定,故C项正确。
B
(2020·济南模拟)We humans love to stare into our smart devices. We gaze for hours—about 10 hours and 39 minutes a day—at our computers, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Is all this staring bad for us? It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.
Blue light is a type of electromagnetic(电磁的) radiation with a very short wavelength that produces a high amount of energy. While it’s true that light can damage our eyes under certain circumstances, there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular. So do the glasses work?
“Everyone is very concerned that blue light may be causing damage to the eye, but there’s no evidence that it may be causing serious damage,” Dr. Rahul Khurana, clinical spokesman for the American Academy of Ophthalmology, told Business Insider.
Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light. But if blue light isn’t harmful, then why are we constantly rubbing our eyes when we’re looking at our screens? The answer is eyestrain (眼疲劳): More than 60 percent of people
20
experience eye problems associated with digital eyestrain. And blue light, it seems, isn’t the cause. Instead, our eyes are so strained because most of us blink less when we stare at our digital devices. So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.
【解题导语】 该文主要探讨了蓝光是否对我们的眼睛有害的问题。
5.What do we know about blue light?
A.It is a kind of nuclear radiation.
B.It has the shortest wavelength.
C.It may come from electronic devices.
D.It consumes a great deal of energy.
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“It might be, mainly because as we stare at our devices we are exposing ourselves to blue light.”可推知,电子设备会发出蓝光。
6.What causes the popularity of bluelightblocking glasses?
A.Evidence of their benefits to eyes.
B.Belief in blue light’s harmful effect.
C.Widespread use of smart devices.
D.Scientific understanding of blue light.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“there’s no scientific evidence suggesting that blue light is harmful to our eyes. But many people still think it is, which is why bluelightblocking glasses are so popular.”可知,防蓝光眼镜流行的原因是人们认为蓝光会对眼睛有害。
7.What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A.Blue light exposure is hardly avoidable.
B.Eye problems are not easy to deal with.
C.Blue light may connect with tired eyes.
D.Rubbing eyes makes people strained.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第四段的前三句“Blue light exposure is nothing new. In fact, the sun is the largest source of blue light. Moreover, blue light is also present in LED light.”可知,阳光是蓝光最大的来源,而且蓝光也存在于LED灯中。由此可推知,接触蓝光几乎是不可避免的。
8.According to the text, wearing bluelightblocking glasses may be ________.
A.tiring B.harmful
20
C.useless D.beneficial
C 解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“So if eyestrain is the issue, bluelightblocking glasses are probably of little use.”可知,戴防蓝光眼镜可能是没有用处的。
