A
(2020·安徽联盟阶段考试)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!
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.
29
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.

(2020· 新疆维吾尔自治区适应性检测)Technology is forever changing the way we get our news. Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices, instead of traditional media, such as newspapers, television or radio. An increasing number of people also report turning to social media for information.
Now, there is a new technology that could greatly change the way we get the news: computer-created news readers. China has launched what it called the world’s first artificial intelligence, or AI news presenters.
The news readers, supported by machine learning technology, are based on two real life Chinese newsmen. One is able to present news broadcast in English; the other, in Mandarin Chinese. A report said machine learning was used to examine video images and sounds of the two newsmen. Similar technology has been used to create video products known as “deepfake videos”. A deepfake video is a video that looks real, but is electronically changed. Such videos can make people appear to say things they never said.
It’s said that the AI presenters will be a great improvement to the news team because they “can work 24 hours a day” on its website and on social media. One of the presenters even promised to “work tirelessly” to keep people informed. Some machine learning experts said the system showed off China’s latest progress in voice recognition, text to speech technology and data analysis.
Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers. Some people argued that only low level jobs requiring heavy labor will be easily replaced by robots. Others praised the technology as a way for companies to make
29
money from lowcost labor machines.
Anyway, for its great potential, some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations.
【解题导语】 本文主要介绍了人工智能新闻主播的相关内容。
5.People now get information mainly from ________.
A.electronic devices B.traditional media
C.social media D.AI news presenters
A 解析:细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“Most people now get a lot of their news on electronic devices”可知,人们现在主要从电子设备上获得信息。
6.The author mentioned “deepfake” in Paragraph 3 because ________.
A.it was also artificial
B.it was also developed by China
C.it also used machine learning technology
D.it also gained popularity and recognition
C 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第三、四句“A report said machine learning was used...known as ‘deepfake videos’.”可推知,作者提到deepfake是因为它也用了机器学习技术。
7.What can we know about AI news presenters?
A.AI news presenters can only “speak” one language.
B.Not all the people are in favor of AI news presenters.
C.AI news presenters will soon replace human news readers.
D.AI news presenters can reflect the improvement in robot making.
B 解析:细节理解题。根据第五段的内容,尤其是“Others wondered about the effects robots might have on employment and workers.”可知,并不是所有人都支持人工智能新闻主播。
8.What will probably be discussed in the following paragraph?
A.Further research on the technology.
B.Other advantages of the technology.
C.Principles the technology is based on.
D.Examples the technology is applied to.
D 解析:推理判断题。根据第六段中的“some businesses have experimented with similar technology for possible use in news operations”可知,接下来的一段很可能讨论这种技术所应用的例子。

(2020·安徽五校质检)Are you a procrastinator(拖延者)? It’s a common problem. And it can be harmful, as previous research has shown that people who procrastinate have higher levels of stress and lower wellbeing, reported the Association for Psychological Science in the US. But a new study has found a way to deal with this problem: Be more connected to your future self.
Psychologists think that each person believes that they are really two people:“Present Me” and “Future Me”. “People act as if they prefer their current selves’ needs and desires to those of their future selves,” wrote psychologists Neil Lewis and Daphna Oyserman.
Oyserman and Lewis decided to try to find a way to make “Present Me” imagine exactly how “Future Me” would feel the night before a big paper was due, though “Present Me” hadn’t started yet. They made “Present Me” think about a faroff event a number of days away, not months or years.
Thinking about events in this_way meant that something like a friend’s wedding seemed 16.3 days sooner when considered in days rather than months and 11.4 months sooner when considered in months rather than years.
The researchers also tried to find out whether people would take action sooner if they were told a certain event was happening in several days rather than years. For example, participants imagined they had a newborn child, and that the child would need to go to college in either 18 years or 6,570 days. The researchers found those in the “days” condition planned to start saving four times sooner than those in the “years” condition.
So if you think of your life in days instead of years, you may get things done quicker.
【解题导语】 本文主要探究了一种应对拖延症的方法。
1.What did Oyserman and Lewis intend to do through their study?
A.To work on a solution to test if someone is a procrastinator.
B.To find out whether human beings usually have two different characters.
C.To discover procrastinators are more likely to have a lower sense of wellbeing.
D.To prove it’s helpful to connect our current selves more with future selves.

和Lewis想要通过他们的研究去验证把“现在的我”和“将来的我”联系起来是否会对应对拖延症有一定的帮助,故选D。

(2020·江西三校联考)A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer_into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by
29
neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personality traits with “wellestablished questionnaires” for determining the personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person’s major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”, the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other hightech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines,” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to nonverbal information,” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.

(2020·合肥第二次质检)What’s the purpose of building patience abilities? In a word, happiness. Better relationships, more success. But indeed it takes efforts to build them successfully. 1.________ Thus, when the big ones come, we will have developed the patience we need for hard times.
Understand the addictive nature of anger and impatience. We, human beings, are still constructed with our old reptilian(爬行动物的) brain that protects our physical and emotional survival. On the emotional survival side, we want our way to get ahead, to achieve, and to “look good”. Let’s just face it. 2.________ So the first step in growing patience is to get in touch with the addictive quality of the opposite of patience—anger, impatience, blame and shame. We all have them. And we can grow beyond them.
Upgrade our attitude towards discomfort and pain. Pain has its purposes and pushes us to find solutions—we try to change the other person, situation or thing
29
that we think is causing our discomfort. But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set. 3.________
Pay attention when the impatience or pain starts. Most of us don’t really realize it when we are feeling even the smallest—but very present—painful feelings. 4.________ But to really care for ourselves, get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you. Focusing on what’s actually happening, you can notice the worry of not wanting what’s happening, the resistance.
5.________ When you find yourself impatient, or angry with yourself, you can remind yourself that you are growing, and that, “Sure, this is understandable; this is what happens to me when I’m bothered.” You can say to yourself, “It’s true. I don’t like this; this is uncomfortable, but I can tolerate it.”
A.Practice positive selftalk.
B.So the solution to pain is an inside job.
C.Patience abilities benefit you in many ways.
D.Learn to forgive yourself for being impatient in hard times.
E.We ignore the fact that we’re in pain and focus completely on fixing the problem.
F.The urge to protect ourselves and what we consider valuable is absolutely habitforming.
G.Effective ways are recommended to train ourselves to work with little pain and annoyance.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了培养耐心的几个有效的方法。
1.G 解析:根据空后一句“Thus, when the big ones come, we will... hard times.”可知,成功地培养耐心需要花费精力,因而推荐一些有效的方法用来训练我们应对痛苦及烦恼的能力,因此当更大的麻烦来临时,我们将已经有耐心应对困难的时刻。故G项符合语境。
2.F 解析:根据空后的“So the first step... blame and shame.”可推知,保护我们自己和我们认为有价值的东西的冲动绝对是由习惯养成的,因此要做的第一步就是了解负面情绪根深蒂固的本性。故选F。
3.B 解析:根据空前一句“But the problem is that it is not the outside thing that’s the source of our pain, but how our mind is set.”可知,问题不是出现在引起痛苦的外在因素上,而是出现在我们的思考方式上,因此解决痛苦是一种内在的活动。故选B。
4.E 解析:根据空前一句“Most of us don’t really realize it... painful
29
feelings.”及空后的“get curious about what’s actually happening in the moment inside you”可知,我们经常忽略了这样一个事实,即我们处于痛苦之中,而我们关注的焦点总是全部集中在解决问题上。
5.A 解析:根据文章结构和空处所在位置可知,空处为段落主题句;通读本段可知,本段主要是说要积极地自我对话,故A项符合语境。
语法填空
(2020·长春质量监测一)It used to be common to see US teenagers busy at fastfood restaurants cooking burgers and 1.____________(clean) tables, especially during the summer vacation. 2.____________, the scene is becoming less common.
Instead of finding summer jobs, many US teenagers are spending 3.____________(they) free time taking classes. According to The Atlantic, this change partly results 4.____________the low teen earnings paying little toward the costs of college.

【解题导语】 这是一篇说明文,主要介绍了美国青少年暑期生活的变化。
1.cleaning 解析:考查非谓语动词。根据空前的并列连词and可知,空处与前面的cooking并列作be busy(in) doing sth.结构的宾语。
2.However 解析:考查副词。由上文中的“It used to be common”以及空后的“the scene is becoming less common”可知,此处前后句构成转折关系,故用However。
3.their 解析:考查代词。根据语境可知,空处修饰名词free time,故应用they的形容词性物主代词their在句中作定语,表示“他们的”。
4.from 解析:考查固定搭配。这种变化部分是由青少年得到的薪水很低而难以支付大学的费用造成的。result from “(由……而)造成”为固定搭配。
5.expectations 解析:考查词性转换和名词的单复数。根据语境及空前的“their”可知,空处应用expect的名词复数形式,表示“他们的那些期望”。
6.accounts 解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据语境可知,文章介绍的是一般情况,且主语是US teenagers’ increasing interest,
29
因此谓语动词用一般现在时的第三人称单数形式accounts。
7.what 解析:考查连接词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导宾语从句,作动词learn的宾语,指物,因此填what。
8.is considered 解析:考查动词的时态和语态。根据语境可知,文章介绍的是一般情况,应用一般现在时,此处表示“这被认为是一个明智的选择”,应用被动语态,故用一般现在时的被动语态。
9.a 解析:考查冠词。根据空前的“is”和空后的“human activity”可知,此处表示泛指“一项人类活动”,且human的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。
10.practical 解析:考查形容词。修饰名词应用形容词,故用practical “实用的”。
29
