(2021·某某师大附中月考)For those dedicated to travelling, everyday activities during
your journey such as shopping, eating, sleeping are as significant as the travel
scenery. These are the most beautiful streets in destinations around the world to
meet your requirements.
Jinli Street, Chengdu, China
Qing Dynasty style wooden houses and shops, filled with red lanterns and
traditional signage( 招 牌 ) help make Chengdu's biggest tourist attraction look
pleasingly historic. While it was restored into its current form in 2004, Jinli Street
traces its history back to some 1,800 years, making it one of the oldest shopping
streets in Sichuan Province.
Convent Avenue, Harlem, New York City
New York City is blessed with some of the most architecturally arresting streets in the
world. But Harlem's Convent Avenue stands out from the pack, thanks to its knockout
buildings and tree - lined sidewalks. The stretch between West 140th and 145th
streets is the most impressive, including the Convent Avenue Baptist Church and 339
Convent Avenue, also known as The Royal Tenenbaums' house.
Lombard St, San Francisco
Famed for its eight hairpins, which twist between a single block, Lombard Street is
one of San Francisco's busiest attractions. And while the crowds lining up to take
shots for Instagram can get a bit much, they shouldn't put you off going.
Said to be the most crooked (弯曲的) street in the world, the views from the top are
worth the trip alone, while the surrounding buildings of Russian Hill are added eye
candy.
Caminito, La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Meaning “the little path”, Caminito is the most colorful street in the most colorful
area of Buenos Aires. The street fell into disrepair in the 1950s after the railroad which

(2021·某某高三模拟)It was just a normal day for Ruth Miller, a 63-year-old woman
word 文档
- 3 - / 11
until everything went horribly wrong. She was walking to her car after shopping when
the unthinkable happened.
Right as she was unlocking her car, a man quickly came up behind her and tried to
wrestle her purse away. She was in shock. Luckily she remembered she had her Safe
Personal Alarm (SPA) on purse, and since she was too scared to scream for help, she
quickly reached for the alarm and pulled the pin (保险栓). Immediately her SPA started
just screaming. The man didn't know what to do! He froze for a second, and then ran
away like a bat out of hell!
SPA is a safety device capable of creating a 125db sound that attracts attention and
scares away potential attackers. To pare, it's the same volume as a military jet during
takeoff.
Paul Davidson, the inventor of SPA, knows all too well the type of situation that Ruth
found herself in. But that's not the only type of situation that SPA helps protect
against. Parents can give it to their kids as an extra means of protection. Teenagers
can use it so they can feel safe walking home. Women can know it's there when they
have to use the parking lot at night. “My mother, who is 76 years old, carries it
around in case she falls and needs to ask people for help. I only wish I'd thought of it
earlier,” said Paul.
The police have been remending SPA since it first hit the market. In fact, since its
launch, SPA has been in a state, shifting between in stock to sold out nearly every
other week, and it's also got tons of loyal followers worldwide.

(2020·八省市联考模拟卷)In my everyday life, I am on an ongoing journey to figure out
different ways to reduce my carbon footprint on the planet. A carbon footprint is the
measure of influence our activities have on the environment, in particular climate
change. It is calculated by the amount of greenhouse gas we produce in our daily
lives. Fortunately, nowadays it is much easier to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices
than, let's say, 20 years ago. But one question has been on my mind a lot lately: is it
better to buy new eco-friendly products or used traditionally produced goods?
word 文档
- 5 - / 11
After doing some research, I have decided that some things are better new and
others are better used. Let me try to explain.
A carbon footprint is made up of two parts, the primary footprint and the secondary
footprint. The primary footprint is a measure of our direct emissions (排放) of carbon
dioxide (CO2) from the burning of fuels, including household energy consumption
and transportation. The secondary footprint is a measure of the indirect CO2
emissions from the whole life cycle of products we use — those related to their
production and breakdown.
Based on this understanding, we have a good deal of control and responsibility over
our carbon footprint. Things like dishes, clothes and furniture fall into the“secondary
footprint” group, so less is more and we can focus on finding used goods to avoid
the added production. However, for the car and the other appliances (设备) that we
need we can go with new, energy - saving models. I heard somewhere that
electronics and appliances give off 90% of their carbon footprint after they leave the
factory. So it seems most reasonable to go for the energy-saving models. The main
concern here is the amount of energy that goes into the making of new products and
whether or not that extra carbon is worth the footprint the product will make once
it gets to you.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。作者一直努力减少生活中的碳足迹,但是新型环保产品和使
用过的传统生产的产品,哪一种更能减少碳足迹呢?通过研究和对比作者给出了答案。
8.What is the text mainly about?
A.What appliances to buy to save energy.
B.What a carbon footprint means in our life.
C.How to identify different carbon footprints.
D.How to make eco-friendly lifestyle choices.
解析:主旨大意题。文章第一段提到了作者寻求环保的生活方式来减少碳足迹,由此引出碳
足迹的概念。第三段介绍了碳足迹由两部分构成:第一碳足迹和第二碳足迹。最后一段又提
到我们要对自己的碳足迹负责并很大程度上控制碳足迹。由此可知,文章主要介绍如何选择
环保的生活方式。
答案:D

9.What do we know about the secondary carbon footprint?
A.It is related to our consumption of fuels.
B.It is made when we are buying the products.
C.It is less harmful than the primary carbon footprint.
D.It is counted as ours though not directly made by us.
解析:细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知,第二碳足迹测量的是二氧化碳的间接排放量,
主要来自我们所使用的产品的整个生命周期——从产品生产到最后的处置销毁,这期间所产
生的二氧化碳排放量。由此可知,第二碳足迹虽然不是我们直接生产的,但是和我们间接相
关,也要归结到我们身上。
答案:D
10 . Which of the following helps reduce our carbon footprint according to the
author?
A.Using second-hand textbooks.
B.Using old and expensive cars.
C.Buying new but cheap clothes.
D.Buying new wooden furniture.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段的第二、三句“Things like dishes, clothes and furniture
fall into the ‘secondary footprint’ group, so less is more and we can focus on
finding used goods to avoid the added production. However, for the car and the
other appliances that we need we can go with new, energy-saving models.”可知,
像盘子、衣服和家具这样的物品属于第二碳足迹,所以是越少越好,我们应该注重寻找二手
物品来避免额外的生产。然而,对于汽车和其他我们需要的电器设备,我们可以选择节能的
新产品。综合选项信息,二手书是属于可以二次使用的物品,能减少碳足迹,故选 A。
答案:A
11.“The footprint” underlined in the last sentence refers to the CO2 produced in .
A.using the productB.recycling the product
C.making the product D.transporting the product
解析:词义猜测题。下文 the product will make once it gets to you 是对画线词的解释说
明,由此可知,the footprint 指的是“产品到你手里之后,即你在使用过程中所产生的碳足
迹”。

(2021·某某三校联考)To move visual technology into the future, sometimes it helps to
make a little noise. Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating 3-D
images, create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.
Since the 1940s, scientists have investigated the technology of acoustic levitation (声
悬浮), the use of sound wave vibrations (声波振动) to trap tiny things in midair. The
technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade. Some researchers
believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3
- D printing methods, or creating displays that would be visible from any angle
without requiring a screen.
Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation. In
addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a
soundtrack. And the ultrasound speakers can also concentrate vibrations in one spot
so that a finger might feel a sense of pushing back—a little like the object shown by
the floating image is really there. Sound waves create a 3-D display!
The display without a screen is remarkably useful. It means that everybody in the
room can see the image—from any angle and location—and that's extremely helpful.
As a munication system, such a display might one day allow users to chat with a 3-D
projection (投影) of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move
around a room.
The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room,
however.So far,this has been done in the research laboratory. We need to push it a
little bit harder. We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a
real display that people would have at home.The current system can only show
simple graphics, such as a smiley face or figure eight, in real time.
Still, we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology. If the system
had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two, it could generate images that
are bigger than the device itself. We can't make a TV image that's bigger than the TV
—even a projector has to have a projection screen that's bigger than the image itself.

But with a volumetric display (立体显示器), a small, portable device might produce a
much larger picture. We can imagine, in the future, having volumetric displays in
watches, for example, that create large images, which are just projected out of your
watch.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。声悬浮技术可以实现空中立体成像。这种无屏显像可以让人
们从任何方向看到图像并听见声音,但是想要广泛使用这一技术仍然有很长的路要走。尽管
如此,人们仍然对这种技术的潜力持乐观态度。
12.What can we learn about sound wave vibrations from the first two paragraphs?
A.They can be used to catch very small objects in midair.
B.They can be used to develop 3-D printer's capabilities.
C.They can be used to replace a creative display screen.
D.They can be used to pose soundtracks by making no noise.
解析:细节理解题。由题干关键信息“sound wave vibrations”“the first two paragraphs”
可快速定位至前两段,根据这两段的内容,尤其是第二段中的“Since the 1940s,scientists
have investigated the technology of acoustic levitation, the use of sound wave
vibrations to trap tiny things in midair.”可知,声波振动可以用来捕捉空中非常小的物体。
A 项中的 catch 与文中的 trap 为同义转述。B 项“它们可以用来发展 3D 打印机的功能”属
于混淆概念,文中说的是“有助于新型 3D 打印方法的使用”;C、D 两项未提及。
答案:A
13.What do we know about the display without a screen?
A.It has resulted in visual technology.
B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.
C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home.
D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.
解析:细节理解题。由题干关键信息“the display without a screen”可定位到第四段,根
据第四段中的“It means that everybody in the room can see the image—from any
angle and location—and that's extremely helpful.”可知,无屏显像意味着房间里的每
个人都能看到图像——从任何角度和位置——那非常有帮助。故 B 项正确。
答案:B
14.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
word 文档
- 9 - / 11
A.The outlook for the new technology.
B.The situation of the modern technology.
C.The praise for the cutting-edge technology.
D.The room for the technical improvement.
解析:段落大意题。根据最后一段中的第一句及文章最后一句可知,本段主要讨论了对这项
新技术的展望。B 项中的 modern technology“现代科技”概念太过宽泛;C 项“对尖端技
术的赞扬”;D 项“技术改进的空间”均与本段内容不相符。
答案:A
15.What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A.Hearing Is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a 3-D Display
B.Seeing Is Believing—3-D Printing Methods Arrive
C.Improving the Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in the Air
D.Promoting TV Technology—Chat with 3-D Projections
解析:标题归纳题。文章第一段提到研究人员利用声波产生飘浮的 3-D 图像,创造触觉,甚
至提供背景音乐,接着说明使用声悬浮技术的无屏显像可以让人们从任何方向看到图像,最
后讨论了对这项技术的展望。故 A 项“听觉就是视觉——声波产生 3-D 显示”是最佳标题。
B 项“眼见为实——3-D 打印方法的到来”核心词是 3-D 打印,与文意不符;C 项“改进
触摸感——3-D 图像飘浮在空中”侧重点在触感上,犯了以偏概全的错误;D 项“推广电视
技术——用 3-D 投影聊天”,文中仅仅提到了 3-D 投影,没有提到电视技术。
答案:A

(2021·某某六市重点高中联考)Handwriting is quickly being a dying art. Few businesses
can run nowadays without puters.16 Researchers from Princeton University
conducted a study to demonstrate the differences between students who wrote out
their notes and those who typed notes on a lecture. 17 Participants were tested on
the material 30 minutes after the lecture and again a week later. And handwriting
emerged as the champion.
18 The typers had a significant edge when it came to note-taking efficiency. The
typers could copy down significantly many more words than the writers, sometimes
even transcribing the content of the lecture word for word.
word 文档
- 10 - / 11
But while more of the lecture's content was retained (保留) on paper when typing, it
wasn't necessarily retained in participants' heads. 19On the test 30 minutes after the
lecture, typers and writers did more or less equally well on questions about the basic
facts of the lecture, but typers fell behind when it came to more conceptual
questions.As for the later quiz, the results were similar. Students with handwritten
notes were able to remember and still understand the concepts of the lecture after a
week had passed. These participants were also more open to understanding new
ideas. 20
A.The tests that the participants took proved this.
B.The efficiency of handwriting might best benefit you.
C.That's not to say that typing doesn't have its benefits.
D.In this study, the laptops were only used to take notes.
E.Generally speaking, typing also has its own disadvantages.
F.But what are we losing as handwriting loses its significance in society?
