Harry Potter got from his father?Such a cloak may be available in stores with other Harry Potter costumes sooner than you think.Researchers in England and the USA have found the materials to build such a cloak,according to the latest edition of Nature magazine.Nader Engheta,a professor at the University of Pennsylvania,has done his own work on invisibility using,special materials called metamaterials.Unlike those found in nature or the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry,these materials steer(导引)light,and other forms of electromagnetic radiation around an object.Scientists suggest that these metamaterials could be used to make a cloak.Light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation would strike it and flow around the sides.The light would simply continue on as if it hadnt bumped against an obstacle,like a river flowing around a smooth big stone.It would seem to onlookers that they were looking right through the cloak.Everything covered by the cloak would be concealed from view.“Is it science fiction?Well,its theory and that already is not science fiction.Its theoretically possible to do all these Harry Potter things,” said John Pendry,a physicist at the Imperial College London.“Although such a cloak does not yet exist,early versions that could mask microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation could be as close as 18 months away,”said Pendry.He said the study was “an invitation to come and play with these new ideas”.“We will have a cloak after not too long,” he added.It seems that the USA military are as interested in the possibility of an invisibility cloak as ordinary boys and girls.The Pentagon(五角大楼)is not just waiting for the result of the research like the rest of us but actually supported the project from the very beginning.Imagine if all a countrys soldiers,planes and weapons became invisible in front of the enemy,the result of a war would be obvious if one side had access to such technology.21.The passage is focused on .A.a new inventionB.an interesting storyC.a new weaponD.a science fiction答案:A解析:主旨大意题。文章首段点出了本文的中心,即介绍一项新的发明。下文都是围绕这个中心展开的。22.The underlined word “concealed” in the 4th paragraph means .A.foreseenB.hiddenC.overlookedD.disappeared答案:B解析:词义猜测题。本文讲的是科学家有待发明隐形材料,这种材料可以制成隐形衣,顾名思义,隐形衣能使它所覆盖的任何东西不被人们看到,即“隐藏”于人们的视线之外。hidden与之最为相近。foresee“预见,预知”;overlook“俯视,忽略”;disappear“消失”,均不合题意。23.We can infer from the story that the invisibility cloak will .A.only benefit mankindB.only become a dangerous weaponC.serve military purposeD.soon replace all our ordinary clothes答案:C解析:推理判断题。由末段可知,隐形衣将会有军事用途,故选C项。A、D两项在文中并未提及;B项太绝对。24.Why is the Pentagon interested in the invisibility cloak?A.It is of great military value.B.It was supported by the Pentagon.C.It has been possessed by some countries.D.It has come into use in the army of the USA.答案:A解析:细节理解题。由末段可知,原因在于隐形衣有重要的军事使用价值。BWhat is eBay?The simple answer is that it is a global trading platform where nearly anyone can trade practically anything.People can sell and buy all kinds of products and goods,including cars,movies and DVDs,sporting goods,travel tickets,musical instruments,clothes and shoesthe list goes on and on.The idea came from Pierre Omidyar,who was born in Paris and moved to Washington when he was still a child.At high school,he became very interested in computer programming and after graduating from Tufts University in 1988,he worked for the next few years as a computer engineer.In his free time he started eBay as a kind of hobby,at first offering the service free by word of mouth.By 1996 there was so much traffic on the website that he had to upgrade(升级)and he began charging a fee to members.Joined by a friend,Peter Skoll,and in 1998 by his capable CEO,Meg Whitman,he has never looked back.Even in the crashes of the late 1990s,eBay has gone from strength to strength.It is now one of the ten most visited online shopping websites on the Internet.eBay sells connections,not goods,putting buyer and seller into contact with each other.All you have to do is take an e-photo,write a description,fill out a sales form and you are in business;the world is your market place.Of course for each item(商品) sold eBay gets a percentage and that is a great deal of money.Every day there are more than sixteen million items listed on eBay and eighty percent of the items are sold.25.We learn from the text that eBay provides people with.A.a way of buying and selling goodsB.a website for them to upgradeC.a place to exhibit their own photosD.a chance to buy things at low prices答案:A解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容特别是由第三句话“Peoplecansellandbuyallkindsofproductsandgoods,includingcars,moviesandDVDs,sportinggoods,traveltickets,musicalinstruments,clothesandshoesthelistgoesonandon.”可知,人们通过eBay网买卖各种各样的产品和源源不断的商品。故选A项。26.Why did Pierre create eBay after graduating from university?A.For fun.B.To make money.C.For gathering the engineers.D.To fulfill a task of his company.答案:A解析:细节理解题。由第二段第三句话“InhisfreetimehestartedeBayasakindofhobby,atfirstofferingtheservicefreebywordofmouth.”可知他在业余时间里,作为一种兴趣开创了eBay网,通过口头提供免费服务,故选A项。27.From “he has never looked back” in Paragraph 2 we learn that Pierre.A.did not feel lonelyB.was always hopefulC.did not think about the pastD.became more and more successful答案:D解析:推理判断题。Pierre由原来的业余爱好开始,逐步走向成功,创建了世界知名网站。28.How does eBay make money from its website?A.By bringing sellers together.B.By charging for each sale.C.By listing items online.D.By making e-photos.答案:B解析:细节理解题。由最后一段可知,这个网站为买卖双方提供交易平台,然后收取适当的服务费。因此B项正确。C(2018天津高考改编)Theres a new frontier in 3D printing thats beginning to come into focus:food.Recent development has made possible machines that print,cook,and serve foods on a mass scale.And the industry isnt stopping there.FoodproductionWith a 3D printer,a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake.Not everybody can do thatit takes years of experience,but a printer makes it easy.A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks.In another restaurant,all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table.Sustainability(可持续性)The global population is expected to grow to 9.6 billion by 2050,and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels.Sustainability is becoming a necessity.3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution.Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids(水状胶质) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料).3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions.Grocery stores of the future might stock“food”that lasts years on end,freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements.NutritionFuture 3D food printers could make processed food healthier.Hod Lipson,a professor at Columbia University,said,“Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content,like vitamins.So instead of eating a piece of yesterdays bread from the supermarket,youd eat something baked just for you on demand.”ChallengesDespite recent advancements in 3D food printing,the industry has many challenges to overcome.Currently,most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them,and the printing process is quite time-consuming,because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways.On top of that,most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients,because meat and milk products may easily go bad.Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers,believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants.29.What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?A.It helps cooks to create new dishes.B.It saves time and effort in cooking.C.It improves the cooking conditions.D.It contributes to restaurant decorations.答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句可知,用3D打印机,一名厨师可在婚礼蛋糕上打印出复杂的巧克力图案和精美的装饰,这并非每个人都能做到,这要厨师多年的经验积累,但一台打印机可以很容易就做到。由此可知,3D打印技术在食品制作方面节省了时间和精力。30.What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraph 3?A.It solves food shortages easily.B.It quickens the transportation of food.C.It needs no space for the storage of food.D.It uses renewable materials as sources of food.答案:D解析:推理判断题。根据第三段第四句“Someexpertsbelieveprinters.”可知,专家相信3D打印机可使用大量的藻类和草等可再生资源形成的水状胶质代替熟知的烹饪原料。31.According to Paragraph 4,3D-printed food .A.is more available to consumersB.can meet individual nutritional needsC.is more tasty than food in supermarketsD.can keep all the nutrition in raw materials答案:B解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中HodLipson教授的话可知,食品打印能使得顾客打印出富含顾客个性化需求的营养成分,如维生素。因此,顾客不必吃昨天从超市买来的面包,而是随需烤制。32.What could be the best title of the passage?A.3D Food Printing:Delicious New TechnologyB.A New Way to Improve 3D Food PrintingC.The Challenges for 3D Food ProductionD.3D Food Printing:From Farm to Table答案:A解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文开宗明义,一项新的3D打印技术引人瞩目,最新进展有助于大规模食品的打印和服务。接下来分段介绍食物打印的省时高效特点、所使用的原料的可持续性、提供顾客所需要的营养以及目前技术推广面临的挑战等。所以文章的最佳题目应为3D食物打印:“精美可口的”新技术。第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Maybe you are an average student.You probably think you will never be a top student.This is not necessarily so,however.33. Heres how:Plan your time carefully.When you plan your week,you should make a list of things that you have to do.After making this list,you should make a schedule of your time.First your time for eating,sleeping,dressing,etc.and then decide a good,regular time for studying.34. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems,but it will force you to be aware of what is happening to your time.35. Look around the house for a good study area.Keep this space,which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room,free of everything but study materials.No games,radios,or television!When you sit down to study,concentrate on the subject.Make good use of your time in class.Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say.Really listening in class means less work later.Take notes if necessary,because the notes will help you remember what the teacher says and study better.Study regularly.When you get home from school,go over your notes.Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class.If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day,reading that material will help you understand the next class.36.Develop a good attitude
