题目内容

【题目】 NextFest is an unusual exhibition where you can meet the most creative minds and discover new technology from around the world and see the things that will change the way we live, work and play in the future. For example,......

Brainball is a computer game with a difference: if you’re too competitive, you'll lose. The more relaxed you are, the better you play. Brainball measures your brainwaves and the person who is the most relaxed can push the ball to the other side and win. I’m sure it will be a popular game with yoga teachers and nervous parents everywhere.

If you’re interested in fashion, NexlFest can show you the clothes of the future—cloth which you can change by downloading styles from the web, clothes which look after your health and a biometric(生物测量的) suit which watches over your body and gives you medicine when you need it.

Another hit is a humanoid(类人的) robot which can walk, turn, climb up and down stairs—and even dance. Asimo copies human movement and is friendly-looking. Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help to blind or elderly people and to those who can’t get out of bed.

The Skyear looks as if it could only appear in a Hollywood film. It certainly lives up to its name: it can fly. It can climb at more than 2.000 metres a minute and reach a speed of 365 mph. If you want one, it will cost you about $500,000!

If you want to see the future, come to NexiFest. It’s open all this whole week at the State Science Exhibition Centre.

【1】What should you do if you want to win a game of Brainball?

A.Keep a cool head.B.Be strong enough.

C.Have a creative mindD.Be highly competitive.

【2】What is Asimo designed to do?

【解析】

这是一篇带有广告性质的说明文，主要介绍了一个科技感和未来感满满的展览NextFest，在这里有创造性的游戏、衣服和机器人等，欢迎人们前来参观。

【1】

细节理解题。根据第二段内容“if you’re too competitive, you'll lose. The more relaxed you are, the better you play.”和“The person who is the most relaxed can push the ball to the other side and win.”可知，这款叫Brainball的游戏，特别之处在于你越是放松就越能赢，而非追求高对抗性和竞争性，因而A选项“保持冷静的头脑”符合原文，故选A。

【2】

细节理解题。根据原文第四段“Asimo copies human movement and is friendly-looking. Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help to blind or elderly people and to those who can’t get out of bed.”可知这款叫Asimo的机器人，设计出来将能为盲人、老人和卧床不起的人（可以概括为老弱病残）提供帮助，因而D选项“帮助老人和残疾人”符合原文，故选D。

【3】

细节理解题。根据原文第一段对这一展览的介绍“NextFest is an unusual exhibition where you can meet the most creative minds and discover new technology…”可知其与科技息息相关，C选项符合原文；且根据最后一段“It’s open all this whole week”可知其持续一整周七天，A错误；根据第四段“Its maker, Honda, believes it will be a big help…”可知Honda在是这款机器人的设计者，非整个展览的举办人，B错误；根据第三段全段内容，这一展览中有“未来的衣服”展出，它们甚至还能监测你的身体健康状况并在你需要时给药，而非展览现场卖衣服和药，D错误。综上，只有C与原文内容相符，故选C。

【题目】 La La Land is a 2016 American musical romantic drama film written and directed by Damien Chazelle, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone as a musician and an aspiring (有抱负的) actress who meet and fall in love in Los Angeles. The film’s title refers both to the city of Los Angeles and to the idiom for being out of touch with reality.

Chazelle wrote the screenplay in 2010 but did not find a studio willing to finance the production without changes to his design. Following the success of his 2014 film Whiplash, the project was picked up by Summit Entertainment. La La Land was first showed at the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2016, and was released in the United States on December 9, 2016. It has gained over $432 million worldwide on a production budget of $30 million. La La Land took more than 6 million in its first weekend in UK cinemas, nearly 5 million more than any other film.

La La Land received great acclaim from critics and was regarded as one of the best films of 2016. Critics thought highly of Chazelle’s screenplay and direction, Gosling and Stone’s performances, and Justin Hurwitz’s score (配乐). It won in every category it was nominated (提名) for at the 74th Golden Globe Awards, with a record-breaking seven wins, and received 11 nominations at the 70th British Academy Film Awards, winning five. It received 14 nominations at the 89th Academy Awards, tying the record for most nominations with Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950), and won the awards for Best Comedy, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song.

【1】Who plays the role of a musician in La La Land?

C.Ryan Gosling.D.Justin Hurwitz.

【题目】 There are many differences in the way different cultures raise kids. International visitors can’t help but notice the fact that children are special in China. However, the way some Chinese people treat these very special kids may shock some foreign visitors.

When I told a Chinese mother her child was beautiful, I was nonplussed when she replied, “ No, she’s not; she’s ugly.” Since that time I have heard many similar comments, including, “No, he’s not bright; he’s stupid.” This is a huge cultural difference that needs to be understood when you talk about kids with your international visitors.

Someone explained it to me, “ We Chinese don’t want to appear too proud.” I’m sure there are other people in the world who feel the same way, but most people in my country would consider you a terrible parent if you said your kid was stupid or ugly. They would think you were destroying the child’s self-confidence. When we Americans say something good about our child we don’t think we are being proud because we are saying it about the child, not about ourselves. In this way, we separate the child from the parents as two different persons.

You may think I sound too proud when I freely say to another westerner: “ My daughter is smart and pretty.” Of course, I still have to teach her not to be proud, but I can be proud of her. It’s just the way she was made, and I’m thankful for that. So, in the US when we say something nice about our own kids, it is not considered being too proud but rather, being thankful and being a good parent.

【1】What does the underlined word “nonplussed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A.HopefulB.Worried

C.RegretfulD.Surprised

【2】When US parents praise their child in front of others, they _____

A.often feel proud of themselvesB.try to build the kid’s confidence

C.just say something nice about the kidD.have similar feelings as Chinese parents

【3】What can we infer about the author?

A.He is from the US.B.He is visiting America

C.He is a Chinese parent.D.He is an expert in education.

【4】What is mainly discussed in the text?

A.How different cultures in the world raise kids.

B.How Chinese and US parents talk about kids.

C.How US parents feel about themselves.

D.How different countries treat kids.

【题目】Bert Katz, my father-in-law, celebrated his 90th birthday in November 2016. Bert loved sports and was an enthusiastic Yankees ( an American professional baseball team based in the New York City ) fan, so it was no wonder that over the years, he was an avid (热切的）listener to WFAN radio and, in particular, the afternoon show hosted by Mike Francesa.

Bert had health issues in his later years that limited his mobility, and when he lost his eyesight three years ago, his attachment to his radio and Francesa became more pronounced. He just loved listening to Mike talk about sports and his Yankees each afternoon. Those hours brought him so much pleasure.

Of course, Mike will be leaving Dec. 15, 2017 after 30 years at the station. Mike lives in the same community where I work on Long Island, and I have gotten to know him over the past 20 years. So when my father-in-law was approaching his special birthday the year before last year, I asked Mike for a favor: to call Bert and wish him a happy birthday.

Mike agreed without hesitation. Two days before the special day, Mike stopped at my workplace. I called Bert at his nursing home and put Mike on the phone. It was a complete surprise to Bert. Mike spent more than 10 minutes wishing Bert a happy birthday, and of course, talking about the Yankees.

When my family celebrated Bert’s birthday two days later, he couldn’t stop talking about the phone call. Over his lifetime, he said it was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him.

Unfortunately, Bert’s health declined last year and he passed away July 13, 2017. But even in his final months in the hospital and nursing home, he always had a radio set to WFAN to listen each afternoon to Mike Francesa. And he also had the memory of that special phone call for his 90th birthday.

【1】What habit did Bert keep for years?

A. Playing baseball.

B. Listening to a sports program.

C. Checking his eyesight regularly.

D. Leading organized cheering for the Yankees.

【2】What does the underlined word “pronounced” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Obvious. B. Unusual.

C. Important. D. Understandable.

【3】What word can describe the author?

A. Honest. B. Caring.

C. Patient. D. Independent.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A. A special gift. B. The call finally arrived.

C. The big dream came true. D. An unforgettable birthday party.
