【題目】A team of scientists from University of Freiburg in Germany are developing a shoe with a sensor to automatically tie its laces(鞋帶)that could be taken off when users click their heels together．

It’s been 26 years since we saw them magically tightening Marty McFly’s Nike boots in the film Back to The Future．

Now，self-tying shoelaces could actually become a reality this year，proving right one of the film’s fantastical predictions for what 2015 would be like．

Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up，adjusting itself to the shape of your foot．

Simply slip the controller on and pressure sensors will tell the ‘smart shoe’ when your foot is in position，triggering(觸發(fā))a tiny motor in the heel that pulls the laces tight.

When you want to take off the shoes，you click your heels together twice and the motor will release a spring(彈簧)in the shoe’s tongue，which loosens the laces enough for you to slip them off．

And the invention doesn’t even need to be plugged in to charge or have its battery replaced because it runs on power generated by the swing of your foot as you walk.

Engineer K1evis Ylli，of the Institute for Micromachining and Information Technology in southern Gemany，said the shoes could help a variety of different people.

“One focus is that it could be used in shoes for elderly people who have mobility problems，”he said．“But it could also work for children，or as a lifestyle product．”．

The design，which is still in a prototype(雛形)stage，cleverly gets the energy of the foot’s swing when opposing magnets in each shoe move past each other. It then uses that power to charge a battery．An hour of walking is enough to tighten the laces once，and it requires no energy to undo the shoes because that relies on the spring alone.

【1】Which of the following can be the best title of the text?

A. A fantastical prediction

B. A great invention in Germany

C. A shoe with self-tying laces

D. A popular lifestyle product

【2】What can we learn about the shoes?

A. They can automatically take off．

B. They can adjust themselves to your foot．

C. They need to be charged once．

D. They have been in design for 26 years．

【3】From the last paragraph we can know ____________．

A. the shoes have been put into use

B. the shoes need power to take off

C. the shoes promise to be popular

D. how the shoes work to produce energy

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】D

【解析】試題分析：德國工程師日前研發(fā)出一款智能鞋，不僅可以自己系帶，還可以自動(dòng)根據(jù)腳型調(diào)整鞋子松緊。人們只需穿上這款鞋，安裝在鞋內(nèi)的傳感器就會(huì)引發(fā)鞋底的小電機(jī)產(chǎn)生作用，束緊鞋帶。脫鞋時(shí)，將兩只鞋跟輕碰兩次，就會(huì)觸發(fā)鞋舌處釋放彈簧以松開鞋帶，使你脫下鞋子。

【1】C主旨大意題。A．A fantastical prediction一個(gè)空想的預(yù)測(cè)；B．A great invention in Germany德國的一個(gè)偉大發(fā)明；C．A shoe with self-tying laces 一種自綁鞋帶的鞋；D．A popular lifestyle product一種流行的生活產(chǎn)品；通讀文章可知，該篇文章主要講述的是：德國弗萊堡大學(xué)(University of Freiburg)的一個(gè)科學(xué)團(tuán)隊(duì)正在研究一種可利用傳感器自動(dòng)系鞋帶的鞋。故該題正確答案為C．A shoe with self-tying laces. 因?yàn)槟壳霸摦a(chǎn)品正在研發(fā)中，所以排除B.D. 而根據(jù)文章細(xì)節(jié)所提到的：自動(dòng)鞋帶今年可能真會(huì)成為現(xiàn)實(shí)，即可排除A.

【2】B細(xì)節(jié)信息題。由文章中的細(xì)節(jié)可知：當(dāng)你想要脫鞋時(shí)，碰撞鞋跟兩次，發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)就會(huì)釋放鞋舌部位的彈簧，松開鞋帶讓你脫鞋。即可排除A. 且這項(xiàng)獨(dú)創(chuàng)性的發(fā)明甚至無需充電或更換電池，因?yàn)樗鼉H靠你走路時(shí)雙腳的擺動(dòng)來發(fā)電。即可排除選項(xiàng)C. 文中并沒提到該項(xiàng)研究的開始時(shí)間，所以D也錯(cuò)誤；而根據(jù)文章中的Engineers have designed a shoe that can automatically lace up，adjusting itself to the shape of your foot．（工程師們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)出一款鞋可以自動(dòng)系鞋帶，并可根據(jù)腳型自動(dòng)調(diào)節(jié)。）可知，該題正確答案為B.

【3】D細(xì)節(jié)推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段可知，目前，這項(xiàng)設(shè)計(jì)還是雛形。即可排除A. 解鞋帶時(shí)只需依靠彈簧，因此無需能量。即可排除B. 也沒提到它一定會(huì)流行，即排除C. 而其提到的：當(dāng)兩只鞋中極性相反的磁鐵互相移動(dòng)時(shí)，設(shè)計(jì)師能巧妙地獲得能量。然后將這些能量給電池充電，走一個(gè)小時(shí)的路，產(chǎn)生的電量足以系緊一次鞋帶。由此可知，這種鞋是如何產(chǎn)生能量的。

【題目】WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) ---- About 140 pilot whales that stranded(使...擱淺) themselves on a remote stretch of New Zealand beach have died, but conservation workers and volunteers are hoping the remaining 60 or so will survive after they managed to get them refloated, an official said Saturday.

The geography of Farewell Spit on the South Island seems to work against whales, which regularly become stranded there. The stranding of 198 whales on Friday was one of the largest in recent years and inspired 80 workers and volunteers to help out.

By late Saturday, 140 of the whales had died, said Department of Conservation area manager Andrew Lamason.

He said the workers and volunteers worked throughout the day to keep the surviving whales watered and covered before refloating them during Saturday night’s high tide.

“We’ve had a really good crew of volunteers, and people have been wanting to come from all over the country,” Lamason said.

He said the surviving whales had moved to deeper water. But he cautioned that although hopes for their survival were high, whales had been refloated in the past only to return and get stranded again.

Lamason said the scale(規(guī)模) of the stranding has been tough on the helpers, both physically and mentally.

“It’s very sad, they’re very intelligent animals,” he said. “The common view is that it’s part of nature.”

The focus will now turn to the dead whales, and the enormous task of dealing with the remains, Lamason said, adding that in the past helpers have typically buried them in the sand, but that he’s not sure what the approach will be this time.

He said the department had been experimenting with moving the the dead whales into the water, which has the advantage of providing food for other sea creatures.

【1】What is the exact number of whales stranded last Friday?

A. 140. B. 60. C. 80. D. 198.

【2】 Why did the volunteers have to wait until Saturday before they could refloat the whales?

A. Because they were very busy on Friday.

B. Because they had to wait for the sea water to rise.

C. Because the whales were too intelligent.

D. Because the whales were buried deep in the sand.

【3】Which of the following words can be used to describe Lamason’s attitude towards the result of refloating the whales?

A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic.

C. Positive. D. Careless.

【4】What did Lamason say about the feelings of the workers and volunteers?

A. They were very happy to see so many whales.

B. They thought refloating the whales was not a hard job.

C. They were physically tired and emotionally hurt.

D. They believed that this is very natural.

【5】How will the volunteers deal with the dead whales this time according to Lamason?

A. They will bury them in the sand.

B. They will throw them into the ocean.

C. They do not have any exact idea yet.

D. They will feed them to other sea creatures.

【題目】Exhausted，covered in mud and desperately hungry，a team of Swedish athletes sat down for a meal as they prepared to take on a dangerous 20-mile trek through the Ecuadorian rainforest．

As they opened their canned meat，a tired Mikael Lindnord noticed a miserable stray dog staring at him out of the corner of his eye．

Feeling sorry for him，he fed the dog a meatball and thought nothing of it，but as the team stood up to continue their race the animal started to follow them—and he didn’t stop．

As the group of four navigated the final two stages of the 430-mile Adventure Racing World Championship，the dog befriended them and was eventually given the name Arthur．

Every tiring task the team face，Arthur would do the same．He swam alongside them while they kayaked down rivers，dragged himself up hills during hikes and pulled through knee—deep mud during treks．

Even when the team tried to get rid of their new member out of concerns for his safety—he refused to leave．This meant when he was tired they stopped for a break and when he got stuck in the mud they pulled him out．

After six days the team finished the race，and the dog had suffered．They therefore decided to take him to a vet(獸醫(yī))while still in South America to have him checked out．

During that time Lindord thought to himself that after their experience，they could not leave Arthur，so he decided to adopt him and take him back to Sweden．He applied to the Swedish Board of Agriculture and was made to wait to see if his application was successful．After a tense few days，the team arrived at the airport with Arthur and boarded the plane with him back home．

【題目】E

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope came in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word “congratulations. ”I don’t remember ever smiling so wide.

Then I looked at my financial package.

The cost of Dream School’s tuition , room and board was around $ 40,000- an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren’t as famous as my first choice.

In my mind, attending my dream university would be the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn’t sure what to do.

One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents’ financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.

At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.

As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.

In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my “dream”university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.

【1】What can we learn from the first paragragh?

A．The writer only applied to one college.

B．The writer was admitted to his dream college.

C．The writer decided to attend his dream college.

D．The writer was uncertain which school to go to.

【2】We can learn from the passage that the writer was_________.

A．honest B．mean C． smart D．selfish

【3】The college chosen by the writer has the following advantages except that____________.

A．it would charge me nothing for tuition

B．it is as famous as his first choice

C．there are all kinds of wonderful activities.

D．it would offer free meals at all events

【4】What message does the author want to convey?

A．You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.

B．You should try your best to attend your dream school.

C．Your choice of schools should be based on their fame.

D． Your second-choice college may actually by your best fit.
