is created from hemp(大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet?The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University,who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry.It is sold at $41,000.Pollution-sensitive DressDont be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air.The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstorm notices pollution in the air accordingly.This dresswhich is actually quite prettylooks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty.It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day,but it wont do you any favour if youre meeting with clients.Eco-friendly UmbrellaTraditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface.Although its changeable,you cannot replace it easily.This eco-friendly design is more flexible.Its actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface,which can be folded,so you can put anything such as newspapers,plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.Eco-friendly Moss(苔藓) CarpetIts said that walking on fresh grass increases your blood circulation.The Moss Carpet,created by Nguyen La Chanh,looks at getting the grass to your feet.The mat includes ball moss,island moss and forest moss.The humidity(湿度) of the bathroom makes sure that it grows well.And thats why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.21.According to Paragraph 1,we can find Eco One .A.can seat one passenger and one driverB.is mainly made from some kinds of plantsC.cant be afforded by the public at presentD.will take the place of the traditional car industry答案B解析推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知,Eco One是主要由植物制成的环保型产品。22.Why is EPA Dress designed?A.To advise people to stay at home as often as possible.B.To make women look pretty even in the polluted air.C.To stop people from meeting their clients if necessary.D.To keep users informed of the polluted levels in the air.答案D解析细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstorm notices pollution in the air accordingly.”可知,EPA Dress有助于让使用者了解到空气的污染程度。23.Compared with traditional umbrellas,the Eco-friendly Umbrella .A.is changeableB.can be foldedC.doesnt have any surfaceD.is made of newspapers答案C解析细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Traditional umbrellas.Its actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface,which can be folded”可知答案。24.Where does the text probably come from?A.A personal blog.B.A health report.C.An official document.D.A science report.答案D解析推理判断题。文中主要介绍了四款环保型科技产品,故可推知其最有可能来自科技报告。B(2021新高考)By day,Robert Titterton is a lawyer.In his spare time though he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopovanot as a musician but as her page turner.“Im not a trained musician,but Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria in her performance.”Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the groups official page turner for the past four years.His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesnt have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.He said he became just as nervous as those playing instruments on stage.“A lot of skills are needed for the job.You have to make sure you dont turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot.”Mr Titterton explained.Being a page turner requires plenty of practice.Some pieces of music can go for 40 minutes and require up to 50 page turns,including back turns for repeat passages.Silent onstage communication is key,and each pianist has their own style of “nodding” to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.But like all performances,there are moments when things go wrong.“I was turning the page to get ready for the next page,but the draft wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand,”Mr Titterton said,“Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back.”Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists,although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.“My husband is the worst page turner,”she laughed.“Hes interested in the music,feeling every note,and I have to say:Turn,turn!Robert is the best page turner Ive had in my entire life.”25.What should Titterton be able to do to be a page turner?A.Read music.B.Play the piano.C.Sing songs.D.Fix the instruments.答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句中的“but Ive learnt to read music so I can help Maria”可知,要想为钢琴家翻乐谱,必须能够识谱。故选A项。26.Which of the following best describes Tittertons job on stage?A.Boring.B.Well-paid.C.Demanding.D.Dangerous.答案C解析推理判断题。根据第三段和第四段内容可推断,在台上为钢琴家翻乐谱这项工作看似简单,实则不然,是一份要求高的工作。故选C项。27.What does Titterton need to practise?A.Counting the pages.B.Recognizing the “nodding”.C.Catching falling objects.D.Performing in his own style.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知,舞台上的无声交流是很关键的,每位钢琴家都有属于自己风格的点头示意的方式,翻乐谱的人必须学会察言观色,才能与演奏者高度默契,而这需要双方经过大量的练习才能实现。故选B项。28.Why is Ms Raspopovas husband “the worst page turner”?A.He has very poor eyesight.B.He ignores the audience.C.He has no interest in music.D.He forgets to do his job.答案D解析推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可推断,Raspopova的丈夫其实很喜欢音乐,但是他在舞台上只顾欣赏每一个音符,忘记了自己的本职工作,所以妻子才不断提醒他,并称其“the worst page turner”。故选D项。CManufacturers worldwide used roughly 85 industrial robots per 10,000 employees.But if robots end up working more closely with their human colleagues,one concern is how they will interact(互动) safely.“At present,robots do not have any sense of touch,” said Professor Gordon Cheng,who developed the special skin.Robots could seriously injure a human being,so employers need to make sure they are aware of their surroundings.To develop the skin,the researchers began by studying humans.Each person has about 5 million skin receptors(感受器) that register whats happening on the bodys surface and send signals to the brain.But the brain cant digest information from each one at the same time.Instead,the system used new receptors.So the team covered a human-size autonomous robot(known as H-1) with more than 13,000 sensors from shoulder to toe,which are able to detect temperature,acceleration and pressure.Cheng has already overcome one challenge that has troubled early attempts at creating a robotic sense of touch.Most have relied on computing power to process signals from all the artificial skin cells,while his invention only sends signals when individual cells are touched.This means the system acts just like the human nervous system.For instance,we feel gloves when we first put them on,but eventually our bodies learn to ignore them.These could enable robots to sense their surroundings quickly,and give them the ability to interact with humans and avoid accidents.“Technology like this could open opportunities where robots could work much more closely with humans,such as caregiving professions,”Cheng added.“They could help someone get out of bed,or help them around the house.” However,these technologies are still a long way from actual application in the field,which will surely put the safety of humans first.29.What worried manufacturers when they use industrial robots?A.The robots cannot work closely with humans.B.The robots do not have any sense of humour.C.The robots may hurt humans for lack of touch.D.The robots are well aware of the surroundings.答案C解析细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Robots could seriously injure a human being”可以得知由于没有触觉因此机器人可能伤着其他一起工作的人类同事。30.How did the scientists develop the H-1?A.They sent signals directly to their brains.B.They put the human skin over the H-1.C.They made it digest information quickly.D.They covered the robots with receptions.答案D解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“the team covered a human-size autonomous robot(known as H-1) with more than 13,000 sensor”可以得知研究团队在机器人身上布满感受器,这是他们改进机器人的方式。31.What is the advantage of Chengs new robot?A.It can process all artificial signals.B.It just deals with necessary signals.C.It puts the gloves over the robots.D.It has the human nervous system.答案B解析推理判断题。根据第三段中的“while his invention only sends signals when individual cells are touched” 可以推知只有在被人体细胞触碰的时候机器人才会处理相关信息,也就是机器人只处理必要信息。DA 1.6-meter tall robot may soon become the best friend for lonely elderly
