A.Entertainment.B.Culture.C.Education.D.Popscience.【答案】 （1）B（2）C（3）A（4）D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文，折紙是一種具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，而現(xiàn)在它已經(jīng)被應(yīng)用到技術(shù)工程領(lǐng)域，人們利用折紙?jiān)韯?chuàng)造出了很多可折疊的裝置。折紙工程將在很大程度上影響未來(lái)的醫(yī)藥、計(jì)算機(jī)和機(jī)器人行業(yè)。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers, boats: it all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.”可知，折紙是一個(gè)具有創(chuàng)造性的傳統(tǒng)藝術(shù)，我們不用裁剪或拼貼，只通過(guò)折疊就可以把一張正方形或者三角形的紙變成動(dòng)物、紙盒、花、船等東西，由此推測(cè)折紙需要有創(chuàng)造性的和有趣的想法。故選B。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”可知折紙愛(ài)好者Lang向一位制造商建議了把安全氣囊折疊到儀表盤(pán)中的最佳方式。故選C。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine”可知Erik Demaine認(rèn)為折紙工程的應(yīng)用遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超出了我們的想象，由此可推測(cè)Erik Demaine對(duì)折紙工程的未來(lái)充滿希望。故選A。 （4）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第二段中的“in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that folded like a map.”；第三段中的“Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a advised wellknown ear manufacturer the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard.”； 第四段中的“There39。s no doubt that puters of the future may contain tiny, folded motors or capacitors for faster processing and better memory. ”和第五段中的“‘Some day,’ says MIT39。s Erik Demaine, ‘we39。ll build reconfigurable (可重構(gòu)的) robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers.’”可知衛(wèi)星，安全氣囊的折疊，未來(lái)電腦的發(fā)展和未來(lái)可重構(gòu)機(jī)器人，這些都和科學(xué)技術(shù)相關(guān)，故推測(cè)本文很有可能出現(xiàn)在報(bào)紙的科學(xué)板塊。故選D。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇文化類(lèi)閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。3．閱讀理解 The year 3700, Earth is far too hot for any human to call it home. On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us? The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant future. At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字). Careful work can bring previously lost wisdom back to life. However, the key point is that there is a certain cultural continuity with those ancient times that allows us to reason and make progress in the dark: we know we are dealing with the legacy(遺產(chǎn))of other humans. Without that link, the survival of objects and raw data doesn39。t guarantee the survival of knowledge. And a lack of continuity in language with any future intelligence would be a barrier. Knowledge is closely connected with language. When a language dies out, we can lose systems of reasoning that they contain. If that39。s lost, then it can39。t be recovered. All this means that other minds might not be able to fully make human knowledge alive when we are gone. It is better to concentrate on not dying out in the first place.（1）How many opinions are mentioned in ? A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.（2）What does the underlined phrase similar things in Para 3 probably refer to? A.Making lost wisdom alive again.B.Rescuing disappearing knowledge.C.Preserving future knowledge.D.Gaining new knowledge.（3）How can we make knowledge survive? A.We know a lot about human beings.B.We learn ways to draw conclusions.C.We have a certain cultural continuity.D.We protect the legacy of other humans.（4）What39。s mainly talked about in the text? A.Can human beings live on?B.Will our knowledge survive us?C.What will the earth be like in the future?D.How can we protect our culture?【答案】 （1）B（2）A（3）C（4）B 【解析】【分析】本文講述的是，我們的智慧將會(huì)幸存嗎？(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant ，在第二段中提出了兩種建議，故答案為B(2)詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)第三段中第二、三句For example, we saved an ancient puter from a ship destroyed at sea off the southern coast of Greece, and succeeded in finding the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字).
