Developed by Dutch pany RanMarine, the WasteShark takes nature as its inspiration with its whale sharklike mouth. Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast. According to RanMarine, the WasteShark is available in both autonomous and remotecontrolled models. Measuring just over five feet by threeandahalf feet ( meters by meter), it can carry up to 352 pounds of rubbish ( kg) and has an operational battery life of 16 hours. By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world39。s oceans. One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat. WasteShark also has the abilities to gather air and water quality data, remove chemicals out of the water such as oil, and heavy metals, and scan the seabed to read its depth and outlines, said Oliver Cunningham, one of the cofounders of RanMarine. Fitted with a collisionavoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches. Our drones are designed to move through a water system, whether it39。s around the perimeter (周邊) or through the city itself. The drones are that last line of defense between the city and the open ocean, added Cunningham. WasteSharks are operating in Dubai, South Africa and the Netherlands and cost $ 17, 000 for the remotecontrolled model and just under $ 23, 000 for the autonomous model. Dubaibased operator Ecocoast has two WasteShark drones. Cofounder Dana Liparts says they will clean waterfronts for clients including hotels and environmental authorities and that Ecocoast39。 intention is to have the collected rubbish recycled or upcycled. However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn39。t have a onesizefitsall solution and requires a bination of new technology, preventative measures and changing people39。s attitudes towards littering.(1)What do we know about the WasteShark?

A.The causes of ocean pollution.B.The dangers of using plastics.C.The severity of ocean garbage pollution.D.The importance of ocean protection.(3)What will the WasteShark do with an approaching object? A.Avoid crashing into it.B.Break it into pieces.C.Swallow it.D.Fly over it.(4)Which of the following ideas does Liparts agree with? A.The WasteShark should be used more widely.B.More measures should be taken to make water clean.C.The production cost of WasteSharks should be reduced.D.People should take a positive attitude to new technology.【答案】 (1)C(2)C(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,介紹一種水上無(wú)人機(jī)可以用于清理浮在水面上的垃圾。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“Responsible for collecting waste, the drone will begin operations in Dubai Marina in November after a year of trials with local partner Ecocoast.”可知,這種無(wú)人機(jī)是用來(lái)清理垃圾的,故選C。 (2)考查段落大意。根據(jù)第四段中的“By 2016 there were approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world39。s oceans. One paper from December 2014 estimated that over a quarter of a million tons of ocean plastic pollution was afloat.”可知,預(yù)計(jì)到2016年,估計(jì)約有25萬(wàn)噸垃圾漂浮在海洋上,故可知,本段主要講述海洋垃圾的嚴(yán)重性,故選C。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的Fitted with a collisionavoidance system, the drone uses laser imaging detection and ranging technology to detect an object in its path and stop or back up if the object approaches.可知,配備防碰撞系統(tǒng),無(wú)人機(jī)使用激光來(lái)探測(cè)物體,用測(cè)距技術(shù)來(lái)探測(cè)前方是否有物體,如果探測(cè)到物體,無(wú)人機(jī)就會(huì)停下來(lái)或者后退,故選A。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“However, Liparts argues that cleaning waterways doesn39。t have a onesizefitsall solution and requires a bination of new technology, preventative measures and changing people39。s attitudes towards littering.”可知,這種無(wú)人機(jī)并非解決水上垃圾污染的萬(wàn)全之策,需要多措并舉,才能達(dá)到目的,故選B。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,推理判斷和段落大意三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇科教類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,同時(shí)根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,概括歸納,從而選出正確答案。2.犇犇閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。 Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them as a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn39。t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit neatly into the hand? Now something like a tabletshaped but foldable phone is about to bee available. In February, South Korean electronics pany Samsung and China39。s Huawei both launched foldable phones, the Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X respectively. Mobile phone use has entered the foldable future, The Verge noted. The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their bendable screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they39。re the bination of a small tablet and smartphone, all in a single device. The technology could change other devices, too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to maximize available space. In a keynote address, Samsung39。s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the foldable screen the foundation for the smartphone of tomorrow. It39。s a blank canvas (畫布) for us to do something beautiful together. he said. So is there nothing to stand in the way of the foldable future? According to tech news website Android Authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every 10 OLED (二極管) screens produced were imperfect. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these foldable devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That39。s a price that few people will be able to afford. But if the foldable device isn39。t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is ing. Patrick Moorhead, an indus
