is calmer, preferring to sit still, observe her new environment and occasionally snack on bamboo. A language barrier is also reported. While the pair respond to their own names, and understand some English phrases such as “e here,” they don39。t understand the Sichuan dialect of Chinese. The news caused some laughter on Chinese social media, with some users menting that the pandas would soon get used to Sichuan39。s famously spicy cuisine.(1)Based on the passage, which statement do you think is right?

A.Mei Huan mainly eats bambooB.Mei Lun is living a more active lifeC.Mei Huan is not smarter than Mei LunD.Mei Lun is as quiet as her younger sister【答案】(1)D(2)A(3)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇記敘文,講述了在美國(guó)出生的兩只雙胞胎大熊貓回國(guó)了,但是卻不適應(yīng)國(guó)內(nèi)的飲食和語(yǔ)言,令飼養(yǎng)員很擔(dān)心。(1)考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“but are struggling to adapt to the language and food”可知,這對(duì)雙胞胎熊貓回國(guó)后適應(yīng)語(yǔ)言和食物都很費(fèi)力、困難,尤其是后面的2,3,4段更細(xì)節(jié)地描述了適應(yīng)這個(gè)新環(huán)境的困難。故選D。(2)考查詞義猜測(cè)。根據(jù)第四段中的“gradually replacing the American food with Chinese bread”逐漸地用中國(guó)面包(饅頭)代替美國(guó)食物,故前一句“The zookeeper is trying to wean them off their biscuit habit”的意思肯定是飼養(yǎng)員正試圖讓他們戒掉吃美國(guó)餅干的習(xí)慣,故此處的wean them off就可以斷定為“去除”的意思,選A。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第三段中的“Mei Lun is the livelier of the two, often jumping onto the roof and hanging upside down from a rail, but her slightly younger sister Mei Huan is calmer, preferring to sit still”可知,美輪更充滿活力一點(diǎn),喜歡上躥下跳地玩耍,美奐則更安靜點(diǎn),喜歡靜坐,故選B。【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解,詞義猜測(cè)和推理判斷三個(gè)題型的考查,是一篇故事類閱讀,考生在捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息同時(shí),需根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系,進(jìn)行推理,歸納,選出正確答案。5.閱讀理解 Most of us have been in this situation: You39。re on your way to your friend39。s house, then you suddenly ask yourself,Did I remember to turn the lights off?” For those with smart homes, however, this wouldn39。t be a problem.Over the last few years,smart home technology has bee more popular. Thanks to userfriendly products like intelligent lighting and heating controllers, people can control nearly every electrical item in their homes from anywhere in the world. While smart homes aren39。t new, panies like Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors. “The obvious message is that you can stop wasting energy,” Tom Kerber, director of research for U. S based digital pany Parks Associates, told The Guardian. And the technology also has more meaningful uses. In Norway, for example, one pany is using smart tech to make life easier for its elderly customers. Abilia39。s system allows carers to check up on patients through a tablet on a wall inside their home. The device sends patients reminders about tasks, such as when they need to take medication(冥想). It can even tell carers if there39。s any unusual activity in the home that could be lifethreatening. “This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing,” Abilia39。s vice president, Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC. It also saves the government money. In Norway, it costs 1 million kroner(about 0. 8 million yuan )per year to have someone in a care home. This system costs 15,000 kroner a year.” So, for those who have already gone smart, will it ever be possible to go back to do things in the oldfashioned way? I think it would be difficult. When we go to a friend39。s house or on vacation we find ourselves expecting the house to do things for us that we should do, Poulson, 35, a senior program manager from Seattle.,U. S.,explained.(1)What are the first and second paragraphs used for? A.Introducing the topic.B.Describing the situation.C.Advertising smart homes.D.Putting forward the author39。s opinion.(2)What do Philips, Amazon and Xiaomi have in mon? A.They are all designing smart homes.B.They are all U. S based digital pany.C.They39。ve all advanced in smart technology.D.They39。ve all received affordable products automatically.(3)What does Abilia39。s system allow users to do in Norway? A.To take care of themselves.B.To buy userfriendly products.C.To control heating and cooling.D.To switch lights through a tablet.(4)What39。s Poulson39。s attitude to smart technology? A.Cautious.B.FavorableC.Ambiguous.D.Disapproving.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)A(4)B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說(shuō)明文,介紹了智能家居領(lǐng)域又有了新的進(jìn)展。(1)考查推理判斷。第一、二段是對(duì)智能家居的現(xiàn)象的描述,從第三段開(kāi)始文章介紹了智能家居在人們?nèi)粘I钪械陌l(fā)展及應(yīng)用,因此,第一、二段是為了引出“智能家居”的話題。故選A。(2)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“... panies like Philips Amazon and Xiaomi have finally brought automation to everyday people with affordable products like artificial intelligence(AI) speakers and sensors.”可知,這幾家公司已經(jīng)通過(guò)人們負(fù)擔(dān)得起的產(chǎn)品將自動(dòng)化帶到人們的日常生活中,因此,它們的共同點(diǎn)是都在智能科技方面取得了進(jìn)步。故選C。(3)考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第六段中的“ This kind of system allows people to take care of themselves, which is the most important thing, ‘Abilia39。s vice president,Oystein Johnsen, told the BBC....”可知, Alibia
