0。 Gilleece, 42, didn39。t like the idea that a theft could have occurred at his place. So he determined to find the wallet. He spent hours on videos from surveillance (監(jiān)控) cameras, watching the woman39。s every step in the bar. Within minutes, a young man approached the bar, put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a clip (視頻片段) on the bar39。s Facebook page to find out who the young man was. Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17yearold Rivers Prather, who said he39。d done it because he hadn39。t eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich. Gilleece told the teen to meet him at the docks (碼頭). There they talked a lot and Gilleece knew that Prather was from a poor family. Seeing the teenager39。s small build, Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However, because of the missing ring, Prather could be put into prison. Gilleece decided to help the kid. He hired two local divers to search the waters where the wallet had been thrown. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried. And then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. When Gilleece called the wallet39。s owner, she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.(1)What did the woman value most in her wallet? ID. credit cards. money. wedding ring.(2)What did Prather do after getting the wallet? kept the ring. spent the money in it. threw it in a dustbin. returned it to the owner.(3)Why did Gilleece help Prather? teach the child a lesson. meet the customer39。s demand. save the forgivable child. win back the reputation of his bar.(4)What would happen to Prather next? would be sent to prison. would not be accused by the woman. would get a job in Gilleece39。s bar. would live a better life ever after.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)C(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,Jimmy Gilleece的酒吧中一位女士丟失了錢包,錢包里有她最珍視的結(jié)婚戒指。Jimmy Gilleece找到了撿到錢包的年輕人Rivers Prather,但是Rivers Prather拿了錢包里的錢將錢包丟進(jìn)了海里。Gilleece覺得Prather只是個孩子,于是決定幫助他,最終找到了戒指,Prather也被撤銷了指控。 (1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“She didn39。t care about her ID, credit cards, or 150 in cashbut her wedding ring was inside. ”她不在乎她的身份證、信用卡或150美元現(xiàn)金——但她的結(jié)婚戒指在里面,可知那位婦女最珍視錢包里的結(jié)婚戒指。故選D。 (2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake, so he took the money and threw the wallet into the ocean. ”他說他看到了戒指,但認(rèn)為是假的,所以他拿了錢,把錢包扔進(jìn)了大海,可知Prather得到錢包后,他把里面的錢花了。故選B。 (3)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段中的“Seeing the teenager39。s small build, Gilleece thought he was more of a kid than a criminal. However, because of the missing ring, Prather could be put into prison.”看到這個少年的小個子,Gilleece覺得他更像個孩子,而不是罪犯。然而,因為丟失戒指,Prather可能會被關(guān)進(jìn)監(jiān)獄,可知Gilleece幫助Prather是因為他認(rèn)為Prather是個可原諒的孩子。故選C。 (4)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)最后一段中的“When Gilleece called the wallet39。s owner, she burst into tears and immediately dropped the charge against Prather for stealing the ring.”當(dāng)Gilleece打電話給錢包的主人時,她哭了起來,并立即撤銷了對Prather偷戒指的指控)可知接下來Prather不會被那個女人指控。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理,從而選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Google39。s new camera, called Clips, is a smart device. It es with a case that has a clip (夾子), but it39。s not designed to be worn on your clothing. Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands and captures moments entirely on its own! What sets this roughly 2inch by 2inch camera, with a threehour battery life and Gorilla Glass for toughness apart is that it is specially intended for candid moments, like when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone. The Clips device, it uses machine learning algorithms (計算程序) to help capture scenes. Those algorithms include face recognition. Once it learns that there39。s a face you see frequently, it39。ll try to get nice photos of those faces, said Juston Payne, the device39。s product manager. And they also want it to recognize facial expressions, which involved training it to know what happiness looks like. The Google team also trained it to recognize what not to shoot—like when a child39。s hand is over the lens, or if it is tossed in a dark purse. The only way to see the images is by connecting the camera with your phone, as it has no screen for viewing or editing. Concerned it could seem strange? Yes, Payne admitted, but he said they addressed that by making it obvious what it is. A green light on the front signals that it is on. Besides, unlike a camera meant to monitor your home, it is not connected to the Internet. This product is only possible because of the way that silicon(硅) has advanced, Payne said that now they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we39。re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets.(1)What is the most outstanding feature of Clips? enables easy Internet access. is equipped with tough glass. can be worn on your clothing. allows of handsfree photography.(2)What does the underlined word candid in Paragraph 2 mean? ....(3)What makes Clips a reality according to Juston Payne? advance in technology. popularity of the Internet. screen for viewing and editing. rise of the smartphone industry.(4)What does the text mainly talk about? gadgets in the age of apps. intelligence in daily Life. new digital camera from Google. alternative way to photograph.【答案】 (1)D(2)B(3)A(4)C 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文,介紹了谷歌公司推出了一款叫Clips的新相機,并對照相機的各種功能和使用進(jìn)行了介紹。 (1)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段中的“Most interestingly, it uses artificial intelligence to take photography out of your hands so it can capture moments on its own”可知,谷歌開發(fā)的這款相機使用人工智能來拍照,不需要你動手按鍵,它就可以幫助你記錄美好的精彩瞬間。故選D。 (2)考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)第二段中的“l(fā)ike when a child does something cute that may happen too quickly for you to pull out your smartphone.”比如孩子做了一些可愛的事情,你可能來不及拿出智能手機??芍?,畫線句表示:這款相機能解決手機不能及時抓拍小孩子所做的短暫又可愛的事。candid moments意為“短暫”的時刻。故選B。 (3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)最后一段“‘This product is only possible because of the way that silicon has advanced, ’ Payne said, noting that it was only in the past year or so that they could squeeze the technology down into a device this size. Going forward, we39。re likely to get more assistance from the artificial intelligence packed into our apps and gadgets”可知,這款相機依靠先進(jìn)的科技和人工智能等使得它成為了可能,成為了
