When students are required to obtain the skills for the new century, the desire to further integrate technology into our classrooms is bigger. Whether it's a K-12 or college classroom, it's rare to find an environment that does not integrate technology in some form or another. In some cases, online learning has replaced the physical classroom altogether. As educators, we owe it to ourselves and our students to use these benefits. However, while technology offers significant advantages, simply integrating it as an alternative source of delivery or as another means for students to demonstrate their comprehension is not an effective practice.
We must remind ourselves that any form of learning technology should also be guided. These resources are just instruments and require high-quality guided practice from instructors. These instruments, combined with guidance, can afford good instruction, practice and motivation. While technology can positively impact learning outcomes, it may be even more effective for some students if it's instructor-led and integrated into a well-designed curriculum.
Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and challenging students to adapt accordingly. It can frustrate students of different generations struggling to learn how to use a learning platform in addition to picking up the actual subject. Some may wonder, "Why should I waste time learning how to create a podcast(播客) when I could simply write the paper "
It's a reasonable question. We must not assume students who were raised using technology are always comfortable learning with these tools. A study found that because of tools some students may not have experience using, they may need more direction on how to apply these tools. Students may struggle if an instructor neglects to teach the conceptual basis of the tools. Technology may mean little without appropriate objectives and goals for its use, structures for its application, and trained deliverers.
Educators are also tasked with providing students the skills they need to flourish in a highly competitive and technologically-based workplace. Many of the skills obtained through online classes are valuable professional skills. Students taught how to use multiple learning technologies effectively have a competitive advantage over those who are simply using technology as a method of delivery in the online classroom. Regardless of the subjects we teach, integrating technology gives our students the opportunity to not only learn the content, but also to develop skills useful beyond our classrooms. Technology, when integrated and balanced appropriately with the curriculum and with student needs, can make us more effective as educators.

There has been a lot of publicity recently surrounding 5G,
the next generation of wireless technology for the world.But what is this
technology and how might it change our lives
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the
progression of technology to replace the current 4G system.4G was the
replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on.Earlier "G"
systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations.Each new
technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network
capacity(容量). The new 5G system promises more of the
same.However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different
than the earlier systems.It will move well beyond mobile network technology to
affect many more devices and industries than other "G" versions.
Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future
"smart cities" by connecting sensor(传感器) networks.5G is also expected to connect self driving cars and
support new technologies involving virtual reality.Higher 5G speeds could also
permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations.Factories and
businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the
collection of information.
Every coin has two sides.Much of the data could contain
private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations.The
increased data flow would give Internet attackers a lot more possibilities to
steal and misuse data.In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means
any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results.Such
difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.
5．What is the significant difference between 5G and the early "G" systems
A．It will affect more devices and industries.
B．It will change the way people communicate.
C．It will reform the pattern of information system.
D．It will improve Internet speed and network capacity.

Facial recognition cameras are everywhere. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem :Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now recognize people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software that can correctly recognize 95% of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What's the secret It's all about your eyes.
Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same -even if we put on weight. Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. It has AI that measures the shape of your face. It also scans your irises(虹膜)and hopes to ignore all of the face below the nose. Japan's NEC Corp. claims an astonishing 99.9% accuracy rate when identifying people with masks. The UK's Metropolitan Police Service has been approved to buy and use NEC Corp.'s facial recognition technology, Forbes reported.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It's about public safety. For example, you don't need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that germs aren't spread by touching things, said has NEC's Shinya Takeshima."Touchless verification(验证）has become extremely important due to COVID-19,"he said to Reuters.
"We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind."
More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. "It can detect crime suspects and terrorists,"said Huang Lei, Hanwang's vice president. Hanwang's technology is used by the police in high-security settings, Reuters reported. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang Lei admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses."In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost, "Huang said to E&T.
9．The underlined word "hassle" in Paragraph 1 probably means"
A．device B．problem C．mistake D．struggle
10．What does the facial recognition software scan to identify people with masks
A．The shape of face. B．The irises of eyes.
C．The facial expressions. D．The face below the nose.
11．What can be inferred about the new technology from the last paragraph
A．It cannot store key facial information.
B．Huang Lei has a negative attitude to it.
C．There's still room for improvement on it.
D．It doesn't work on people wearing glasses.
12．What can be the best title for this passage
A．Identification through eyes B．Hanwang's hi-tech recognition
C．Mask-wearing facial recognition D．Security identification not perfect

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that lets machines do things that require "thinking”. It is a hard term to define (下定义) because AI isn't actually one thing. Rather, it's a group of technologies that help machines acquire, understand and use information to perform tasks. The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms when mentioning AI.
Recent developments of AI have received a lot of media attention. Although some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible, the attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution. In particular, many are concerned about the effects AI could have on people's jobs.
Unfortunately, the media excitement is often a distraction (令人分心的事物) that causes people to miss an important point. Since AI isn't just one thing, we aren't waiting for it to be invented. Rather, the technology is experiencing a long development process. AI isn't coming. It's already here. We aren't living in a world controlled by computersyet. But we are living in a world that relies more and more on AI for better efficiency.
Newspapers, design companies and film studios are all making use of the technology. Often the technology is used to do the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks so that professionals can work more productively. Admittedly, the tasks AI does are often the things done by low or entry level employees. But that hasn't necessarily spelled the end for human workers.
In recent years, for example, AI driven translation has dramatically increased the amount of material a human translator can process each day. But the easy availability of translation has also led to an increased need for translators. As a result, the industry and its human translators often struggle to keep up with demand.
There is no doubt that AI is changing how we live and work in very complex ways. That makes AI an important trend to watch, but not to panic about yet.
13．What can we learn about AI
A．Various names can be used to refer to it.
B．Media are concerned about its efficiency.
C．Machines can't do anything without AI.
D．Media mostly hold a negative view on it.
14．How does the author feel about the media excitement
A．Approving. B．Ambiguous. C．Uncaring D．Misleading.
15．Why does the author mention AI driven translation
A．To prove that AI will replace humans in the end.
B．To stress that AI is far better than human translation.
C．To claim that AI pushes human to be better than before.
D．To state that AI has developed dramatically in recent years.

Zea Tongeman, a
14-year-old student, who is-crazy about the Internet, applied technology to
create an application that encourages people to recycle while having fun.
Zea was really inspired
when she attended "Little Miss Geek Day", an event that aims at
making technology more accessible and appealing to young women and inspiring
them to consider technology careers. Soon after, she entered "Apps for
Good", a competition that encourages students to create positive change
through technology. Teaming up with her friend, Jordan Stirbu, she laid the
foundations for "Jazzy Recycling".
The "Jazzy
Recycling" application is designed to encourage young people to recycle
more, which wins the favor of the youth. It turns waste disposal into a game
and helps you find places to recycle. Then you scan what you need to recycle,
share it, and get rewards such as shopping vouchers (代金券) and games to be unlocked for what you have recycled.
Tapping into the teen
enthusiasm for sharing every little aspect of their daily life on social media
like Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, recycling efforts can be shared too as a
fun game among friends, which makes more people take part in recycling
activities.
Zea explains why she is
addicted to the Internet and how technology has changed her ideas about the future,
"I used to think technology was just fixing computers and using
smartphones; I have become very tired from just using what is available. I have
discovered another side to it and that I can make technology of my own."
In fact, Zea Tongeman
has taken the idea of recycling seriously and hopes all her fellow beings would
give it a serious thought. This teen girl from the United Kingdom has made use
of computer programming to create her own app that would encourage people to go
recycling for a better world.
16．What is "Little Miss Geek Day" intended to do
A．To inspire students to go recycling.
B．To encourage students to create more.
C．To introduce some famous young ladies.
D．To get girls interested and involved in technology.
17．How does the "Jazzy Recycling" appeal to the young
A．It combines recycling with fun.
B．It offers money to those who recycle.
C．It raises their awareness of waste disposal.
D．It provides varieties of convenient services.
18．Which of the following best describes Zea Tongeman
A．Considerate. B．Generous. C．Creative. D．Modest.
19．What can we learn from Tongeman's story

The metaverse(元宇宙) may be headed to a Disney theme park near you. Disney got a a "virtual-world
simulator" patent shortly before the new year. The new technology could be
used to project(投射) 3D images on real-world objects to
create interactive guest experiences throughout its parks without the need for
a wearable headset or mobile device.
Disney already uses AR
technology for large entertainment at its theme parks such as using projection
mapping to bring its characters to life on storefronts, waterfalls, and other
real-world structures. But this new technology would be significantly
different: it would track each park visitor to personalize the projections they
see on nearby objects and walls. For example, a family walking by a storefront
could see Mickey Mouse greet them as they pass.
"We are excited
about the possibilities related to this type of technology," said a Disney
spokesperson, adding that "there are no current plans to introduce this
technology, into an upcoming experience." The spokesperson also said that
Disney "files hundreds of patents each year as we explore developing
technologies."
However, combining the
metaverse into its theme parks would certainly be on track with Disney's goal
to tell stories to guests through a "3D canvas(画布)." CEO Bob Chapek said, "Our efforts to date are only a
prologue(序幕) to a time when we'll be able to connect
the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling
without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse."
It's worth noting that
Disney has a history of securing patents just to keep competitors from getting
them first, which may very well be the case here. "It's possible that they
may never use it, but my sense is this is very much something they are going to
commercialize," said Ed Khalili, a patent attorney with Founders Legal.
20．What can be learned about the "virtual-world simulator" technology
A．It makes mobile devices smarter.
B．It depends heavily on wearable headsets.
C．It focuses on exploring real-world objects.
D．It brings 3D images to life on physical things.
21．How is the new technology mainly different from projection mapping
A．It is solar—powered. B．It is individualized.
C．It is computer-aided. D．It is commercialized.
22．What is the goal of Disney according to Bob Chapek
A．To build more theme parks.
B．To improve visitors experience.
C．To keep up with digital technology.
D．To create more appealing characters.
23．What did Ed Khalili think of the new patent Disney got
A．It may come into use some day.
B．It would Siring Disney a large profit.
C．It would improve security at Disney.
D．It may help Disney defeat competitors.

Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, Virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn't, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create.
Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it
Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR.
The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR. aren't easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn't both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.
Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn't think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run.
"I think it's very promising, " Hallaq said. "We're seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones." Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories.
24．Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism
A．Because it is an exclusively new tool.
B．Because it is very powerful and popular.
C．Because people can experience the story in person.
D．Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking.
25．According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing
A．How powerful and interesting it can be.
B．Whether people will have easy access to it.
C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built.
D．What new ways people will find to deliver content.
26．What's the author's attitude towards the future of VR technology
A．Optimistic. B．Neutral. C．Pessimistic. D．Concerned.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality
B．The Future Development of Virtual Reality
C．Challenges and Hurdles of Virtual Reality
D．Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling

The technology that
connects us has revolutionized (彻底改变 ) the
world over the past decade, changing how people interact and in many ways
changing our lives for the better. However, some say the most significant
development in tech is its unexpected consequences.
Robert Scoble, the chief strategy officer at the spatial computing agency Infinite Retina, said that the "biggest change over the last decade is how technology has appeared in almost every part of our lives." Everything from smartphones to TVs to daily items like barbecue grills has become available with the Internet connected. But with many of our devices "always on", a certain mistrust of technology has appeared. The FBI just issued a warning about smart TVs, saying there is the potential that "TV producers and app developers may be listening in on and watching you" via an internet-connected TV.
Meanwhile, over the past decade, a new social rule has been formed that remains almost impossible to escape: If you participate in most of the online world, your activity and data will most likely be monitored and stored somewhere, by someone.
"It's a fact of
our digital life now, that everything we do online now is monitored and someone
will find a way to make a profit on it," said Santo Domingo, a reporter.
As more people become aware of not only the benefits but also the threats of new technologies, Scoble said he has noticed "there's much resistance to new technology now". One example is the resistance many are putting up to facial recognition technology.
Some big tech companies have started to make changes after being faced with criticism, although some critics say it's still not enough, including lawmakers who blamed Mark Zuckerberg at a recent hearing for Facebook's ad policy. The major tech giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter have also strengthened their security and content moderation (内容审核) teams in recent years and do more to cooperate with each other about threats than they did before.
28．Why do some people refuse to accept technology
A．It changes their lifestyles. B．It affects their life quality.
C．It may disturb their privacy. D．It will break with tradition.
29．Why does the author mention Santo Domingo's words in Paragraph 4
A．To show people's attitudes to new technology.
B．To further explain the side effects of technology.
C．To encourage people to use technology smartly.
D．To make a list of the limitations of technology.
30．What can we infer about the unexpected results of technology
A．They have been kept in control.
B．They are ignored around the world.
C．The survival of humans is under threat.
D．Some measures are being taken to avoid them.

Last fall my class and
I went through an exercise to help the students understand how the world might
address the climate crisis. Several things surprised the students. One was that
nuclear power doesn't help.
But many people think
nuclear energy is going to be the climate solution. President Obama included
federal loan guarantees for nuclear power in his energy plan, in the hopes of
jump-starting construction and gain Republican support. (It did neither.) If I
post something even faintly skeptical about nuclear power on Twitter, its
advocates come out in force, accusing me of being a conservative, or worse.
What is it about
nuclear energy that makes its advocates so determined in the face of what
should be discouraging facts After all, unlike futuristic, untried
technologies, we have plenty of facts about this one, and most of them are
discouraging. The first American civilian nuclear power plant broke ground in
Pennsylvania in 1954, around the same time that physicist John von Neumann
predicted that, within a few decades, nuclear power would be so efficient as to
make energy "free--just like the unmetered air." That didn't happen.
Today nuclear power remains the most expensive form of electricity generation
in the U.S. --typically costing twice as much as a fossil-fuel-based plant.
Why then do so many
people keep coming back to it I think it's the same reason people turn to
geoengineering( 气候工程) and nuclear fusion( 聚变) (which has been "just around the corner" since 1943):
the promise of technological progress. For the past century or more, humans
have been accustomed to technological breakthroughs that made life easier, more
comfortable and more entertaining. But climate change throws future advancement
into doubt. It breaks the promise of progress. No matter what we do, we are
going to be paying for the costs of our historical and current use of fossil
fuels.
So we turn to
technofideism-- the faith that technology will save us. Perhaps it will. But
perhaps it won't, and our long-standing patterns of behavior will have to
change along with our technology. And that's a hard pill to swallow.
31．What is paragraph two mainly about
A．Nuclear energy has lots of advocates.
B．The supporters of nuclear energy are unwise.
C．President Obama failed to conduct his energy plan.
D．Doubtful remarks about nuclear power will attract criticism.
32．What is the purpose of mentioning the first American civilian nuclear power plant
A．To show it was a groundbreaking project.
B．To compare nuclear power and fossil-fuel energy.
C．To prove nuclear power didn't live up to people's expectations.
D．To indicate we need futuristic, untried technologies rather than nuclear.
33．Why do people turn to techno fideism
A．Because it can cut down the current use of fossil fuels.
B．Because we tend to trust technological breakthroughs.
C．Because people are skeptical about the promise of technology.
D．Because geoengineering and nuclear fusion have set a good example.
34．Which one is the writer's attitude to nuclear energy
A．Optimistic. B．Hesitant. C．Aggressive. D．Negative.

Although the weather
is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The
preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin
on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making
work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was
completed.
In the Winter
Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny
imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. "It's not just a hunk
of ice like you'd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,"
told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. "It's
a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think."
The first step for
building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like
salts and minerals. Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water
is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the
need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very
important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a
carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for
the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to
ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant
(制冷剂) like Freon.
With increasing
attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again.
As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer.
Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much
lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues
adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which
will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
"We believe these
technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the
world in a more impressive way," told Gao Bo from the Media Operations
Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
35．What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.
B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
36．Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
37．What is Gao's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A．Unclear. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Favourable.
38．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
D．The Structure of Ice.

备考2023年高考英语二轮专题：阅读理解（科技创新）
一、阅读理解
（2022高二下·奉贤期末）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
When students are required to obtain the skills for the new century, the desire to further integrate technology into our classrooms is bigger. Whether it's a K-12 or college classroom, it's rare to find an environment that does not integrate technology in some form or another. In some cases, online learning has replaced the physical classroom altogether. As educators, we owe it to ourselves and our students to use these benefits. However, while technology offers significant advantages, simply integrating it as an alternative source of delivery or as another means for students to demonstrate their comprehension is not an effective practice.
We must remind ourselves that any form of learning technology should also be guided. These resources are just instruments and require high-quality guided practice from instructors. These instruments, combined with guidance, can afford good instruction, practice and motivation. While technology can positively impact learning outcomes, it may be even more effective for some students if it's instructor-led and integrated into a well-designed curriculum.
Technology is rapidly changing the educational environment and challenging students to adapt accordingly. It can frustrate students of different generations struggling to learn how to use a learning platform in addition to picking up the actual subject. Some may wonder, "Why should I waste time learning how to create a podcast(播客) when I could simply write the paper "
It's a reasonable question. We must not assume students who were raised using technology are always comfortable learning with these tools. A study found that because of tools some students may not have experience using, they may need more direction on how to apply these tools. Students may struggle if an instructor neglects to teach the conceptual basis of the tools. Technology may mean little without appropriate objectives and goals for its use, structures for its application, and trained deliverers.
Educators are also tasked with providing students the skills they need to flourish in a highly competitive and technologically-based workplace. Many of the skills obtained through online classes are valuable professional skills. Students taught how to use multiple learning technologies effectively have a competitive advantage over those who are simply using technology as a method of delivery in the online classroom. Regardless of the subjects we teach, integrating technology gives our students the opportunity to not only learn the content, but also to develop skills useful beyond our classrooms. Technology, when integrated and balanced appropriately with the curriculum and with student needs, can make us more effective as educators.
1．What is important to the learning technology
A．Instruction and revision. B．Comprehension and application.
C．Guidance and arrangements. D．Diversity and flexibility.
2．According to the passage, what should an educator do
A．Arrange online assignment for students.
B．Notify students of the value of the learning tool.
C．Prepare students with rules in the workplace.
D．Help students master online technology.
3．What's the author's attitude toward learning technology

Facial recognition cameras are everywhere. Many people rely on this technology to unlock their phones open doors or make quick payments, but there is a problem :Everyone is wearing masks. What a hassle!
Now, tech companies have updated their software. Facial recognition technology can now recognize people even if they are wearing a mask. Beijing-based tech company Hanwang has announced a software that can correctly recognize 95% of people wearing masks, Engineering & Technology (E&T) reported. What's the secret It's all about your eyes.
Marios Savvides, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, US, studies facial recognition technology. As we get older, he said, our faces change shape, but not the area around our eyes. It stays the same -even if we put on weight. Another company, Geneva-based Tech5, has also been working on this kind of software. It has AI that measures the shape of your face. It also scans your irises(虹膜)and hopes to ignore all of the face below the nose. Japan's NEC Corp. claims an astonishing 99.9% accuracy rate when identifying people with masks. The UK's Metropolitan Police Service has been approved to buy and use NEC Corp.'s facial recognition technology, Forbes reported.
Facial recognition software is about more than just unlocking your phone. It's about public safety. For example, you don't need to present an ID card, which can be lost or stolen. It also means that germs aren't spread by touching things, said has NEC's Shinya Takeshima."Touchless verification(验证）has become extremely important due to COVID-19,"he said to Reuters.
"We hope to contribute to safety and peace of mind."
More than that, facial recognition can be used to fight crime. "It can detect crime suspects and terrorists,"said Huang Lei, Hanwang's vice president. Hanwang's technology is used by the police in high-security settings, Reuters reported. This means places like government buildings, subway stations and airports. Similar technology is used by the United States Air Force and other governments.
Huang Lei admits one big weakness of this technology: It fails when people wear both a mask and sunglasses."In this situation, all of the key facial information is lost, "Huang said to E&T.
9．The underlined word "hassle" in Paragraph 1 probably means"
A．device B．problem C．mistake D．struggle
10．What does the facial recognition software scan to identify people with masks
A．The shape of face. B．The irises of eyes.
C．The facial expressions. D．The face below the nose.
11．What can be inferred about the new technology from the last paragraph
A．It cannot store key facial information.
B．Huang Lei has a negative attitude to it.
C．There's still room for improvement on it.
D．It doesn't work on people wearing glasses.
12．What can be the best title for this passage

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a technology that lets machines do things that require "thinking”. It is a hard term to define (下定义) because AI isn't actually one thing. Rather, it's a group of technologies that help machines acquire, understand and use information to perform tasks. The range of technologies is one of the reasons people use so many different terms when mentioning AI.
Recent developments of AI have received a lot of media attention. Although some have welcomed the technology because of things that AI makes possible, the attention has also produced a lot of fear and caution. In particular, many are concerned about the effects AI could have on people's jobs.
Unfortunately, the media excitement is often a distraction (令人分心的事物) that causes people to miss an important point. Since AI isn't just one thing, we aren't waiting for it to be invented. Rather, the technology is experiencing a long development process. AI isn't coming. It's already here. We aren't living in a world controlled by computersyet. But we are living in a world that relies more and more on AI for better efficiency.
Newspapers, design companies and film studios are all making use of the technology. Often the technology is used to do the heavy lifting of repetitive tasks so that professionals can work more productively. Admittedly, the tasks AI does are often the things done by low or entry level employees. But that hasn't necessarily spelled the end for human workers.
In recent years, for example, AI driven translation has dramatically increased the amount of material a human translator can process each day. But the easy availability of translation has also led to an increased need for translators. As a result, the industry and its human translators often struggle to keep up with demand.
There is no doubt that AI is changing how we live and work in very complex ways. That makes AI an important trend to watch, but not to panic about yet.
13．What can we learn about AI
A．Various names can be used to refer to it.
B．Media are concerned about its efficiency.
C．Machines can't do anything without AI.
D．Media mostly hold a negative view on it.
14．How does the author feel about the media excitement
A．Approving. B．Ambiguous. C．Uncaring D．Misleading.
15．Why does the author mention AI driven translation
A．To prove that AI will replace humans in the end.
B．To stress that AI is far better than human translation.
C．To claim that AI pushes human to be better than before.
D．To state that AI has developed dramatically in recent years.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The metaverse(元宇宙) may be headed to a Disney theme park near you. Disney got a a "virtual-world
simulator" patent shortly before the new year. The new technology could be
used to project(投射) 3D images on real-world objects to
create interactive guest experiences throughout its parks without the need for
a wearable headset or mobile device.
Disney already uses AR
technology for large entertainment at its theme parks such as using projection
mapping to bring its characters to life on storefronts, waterfalls, and other
real-world structures. But this new technology would be significantly
different: it would track each park visitor to personalize the projections they
see on nearby objects and walls. For example, a family walking by a storefront
could see Mickey Mouse greet them as they pass.
"We are excited
about the possibilities related to this type of technology," said a Disney
spokesperson, adding that "there are no current plans to introduce this
technology, into an upcoming experience." The spokesperson also said that
Disney "files hundreds of patents each year as we explore developing
technologies."
However, combining the
metaverse into its theme parks would certainly be on track with Disney's goal
to tell stories to guests through a "3D canvas(画布)." CEO Bob Chapek said, "Our efforts to date are only a
prologue(序幕) to a time when we'll be able to connect
the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling
without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse."
It's worth noting that
Disney has a history of securing patents just to keep competitors from getting
them first, which may very well be the case here. "It's possible that they
may never use it, but my sense is this is very much something they are going to
commercialize," said Ed Khalili, a patent attorney with Founders Legal.
20．What can be learned about the "virtual-world simulator" technology
A．It makes mobile devices smarter.
B．It depends heavily on wearable headsets.
C．It focuses on exploring real-world objects.
D．It brings 3D images to life on physical things.
21．How is the new technology mainly different from projection mapping
A．It is solar—powered. B．It is individualized.
C．It is computer-aided. D．It is commercialized.
22．What is the goal of Disney according to Bob Chapek
A．To build more theme parks.
B．To improve visitors experience.
C．To keep up with digital technology.
D．To create more appealing characters.
23．What did Ed Khalili think of the new patent Disney got
A．It may come into use some day.
B．It would Siring Disney a large profit.
C．It would improve security at Disney.
D．It may help Disney defeat competitors.

20．考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“The new technology could be used to project (投射) 3D images on real-world objects to create interactive guest experiences throughout its parks without the need for a wearable headset or mobile device.”这项新技术可以用于在现实世界中的物体上投影3D图像，从而在整个公园内创造互动的游客体验，而无需佩戴耳机或移动设备。可知，“虚拟世界模拟器”技术可以将3D图像带到现实生活中。故选D。
21．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“But this new technology would be significantly different: it would track each park visitor to personalize the projections they see on nearby objects and walls. ”但这项新技术将大不相同：它将跟踪每个公园游客，使他们在附近物体和墙上看到的投影个性化。可知，这项新技术与投影制图的主要区别在于这项新技术是个性化的。故选B。
22．考查推理判断。根据第四段中的“However, combining the metaverse into its theme parks would certainly be on track with Disney's goal to tell stories to guests through a ‘3D canvas (画布).’”然而，将元宇宙融入其主题公园肯定会符合迪士尼通过“3D画布”向游客讲述故事的目标；以及“Our efforts to date are only a prologue (序幕) to a time when we'll be able to connect the physical and digital worlds even more closely, allowing for storytelling without boundaries in our own Disney metaverse. ”我们迄今为止的努力只是一个序幕，我们将能够将物理世界和数字世界更紧密地联系起来，让我们自己的迪士尼元宇宙能够无边界地讲故事。可知，迪士尼将元宇宙融入其主题公园的做法是为了更好地达到向游客讲述故事的目标，换句话说，迪士尼的目标是改善游客体验，让游客体验感更好。故选B。
23．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“It's possible that they may never use it, but my sense is this is very much something they are going to commercialize ”他们可能永远不会使用它，但我的感觉是，这在很大程度上是他们将要商业化的东西。可知，Ed Khalili认为迪斯尼会将这项新专利商业化，说明新专利有一天可能会投入使用。故选A。

Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, Virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn't, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create.
Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it
Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR.
The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR. aren't easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn't both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.
Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn't think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run.
"I think it's very promising, " Hallaq said. "We're seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones." Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories.
24．Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism
A．Because it is an exclusively new tool.
B．Because it is very powerful and popular.
C．Because people can experience the story in person.
D．Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking.
25．According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing
A．How powerful and interesting it can be.
B．Whether people will have easy access to it.
C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built.
D．What new ways people will find to deliver content.
26．What's the author's attitude towards the future of VR technology
A．Optimistic. B．Neutral. C．Pessimistic. D．Concerned.
27．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality
B．The Future Development of Virtual Reality
C．Challenges and Hurdles of Virtual Reality
D．Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling

24．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn't just reading or watching something play out; they're experiencing it. ”虚拟现实对记者来说是一个强大的工具。消费者不只是阅读或观看某些内容；他们正在体验它。可知，VR被认为是新闻业的有力工具是因为人们可以亲自体验故事。故选C。
25．考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的“The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR, aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail.”虚拟现实是一个可行性和可用性的问题。讲故事必须容易做到，而且必须能够随时接触到这些故事。这是VR面临的最大挑战。如果用VR讲故事的工具不容易掌握和学习，VR就会失败。如果VR技术既不是顶级的，又不是负担得起的，VR就会失败。可知，VR面临的最大的问题就是人们是否可以非常容易地接触它。故选B。
26．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“ Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories.”就像之前的广播、电视和互联网一样，虚拟现实将改变我们讲故事的方式。可推知，作者对VR技术的未来持积极态度。故选A。
27．考查主旨大意。根据第二段中的“As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it ”随着虚拟现实的兴起，人们对创造新媒体体验虚拟现实的兴趣也在增加。新闻是建立在相关性之上的媒体。记者应该一直寻找新的方式来讲述故事和传递内容。这是讲故事的金矿。还有什么比把一个人放在故事的中心更好的方法呢？；结合文章主要说明了虚拟现实（VR）技术在新闻领域的应用，虚拟现实是记者的强大工具，但也存在一定的问题。可知，“虚拟现实是讲故事的未来”适合文章标题。故选D。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
The technology that
connects us has revolutionized (彻底改变 ) the
world over the past decade, changing how people interact and in many ways
changing our lives for the better. However, some say the most significant
development in tech is its unexpected consequences.
Robert Scoble, the chief strategy officer at the spatial computing agency Infinite Retina, said that the "biggest change over the last decade is how technology has appeared in almost every part of our lives." Everything from smartphones to TVs to daily items like barbecue grills has become available with the Internet connected. But with many of our devices "always on", a certain mistrust of technology has appeared. The FBI just issued a warning about smart TVs, saying there is the potential that "TV producers and app developers may be listening in on and watching you" via an internet-connected TV.
Meanwhile, over the past decade, a new social rule has been formed that remains almost impossible to escape: If you participate in most of the online world, your activity and data will most likely be monitored and stored somewhere, by someone.
"It's a fact of
our digital life now, that everything we do online now is monitored and someone
will find a way to make a profit on it," said Santo Domingo, a reporter.
As more people become aware of not only the benefits but also the threats of new technologies, Scoble said he has noticed "there's much resistance to new technology now". One example is the resistance many are putting up to facial recognition technology.
Some big tech companies have started to make changes after being faced with criticism, although some critics say it's still not enough, including lawmakers who blamed Mark Zuckerberg at a recent hearing for Facebook's ad policy. The major tech giants like Facebook, Google and Twitter have also strengthened their security and content moderation (内容审核) teams in recent years and do more to cooperate with each other about threats than they did before.
28．Why do some people refuse to accept technology
A．It changes their lifestyles. B．It affects their life quality.
C．It may disturb their privacy. D．It will break with tradition.
29．Why does the author mention Santo Domingo's words in Paragraph 4
A．To show people's attitudes to new technology.
B．To further explain the side effects of technology.
C．To encourage people to use technology smartly.
D．To make a list of the limitations of technology.
30．What can we infer about the unexpected results of technology
A．They have been kept in control.
B．They are ignored around the world.
C．The survival of humans is under threat.
D．Some measures are being taken to avoid them.

Last fall my class and
I went through an exercise to help the students understand how the world might
address the climate crisis. Several things surprised the students. One was that
nuclear power doesn't help.
But many people think
nuclear energy is going to be the climate solution. President Obama included
federal loan guarantees for nuclear power in his energy plan, in the hopes of
jump-starting construction and gain Republican support. (It did neither.) If I
post something even faintly skeptical about nuclear power on Twitter, its
advocates come out in force, accusing me of being a conservative, or worse.
What is it about
nuclear energy that makes its advocates so determined in the face of what
should be discouraging facts After all, unlike futuristic, untried
technologies, we have plenty of facts about this one, and most of them are
discouraging. The first American civilian nuclear power plant broke ground in
Pennsylvania in 1954, around the same time that physicist John von Neumann
predicted that, within a few decades, nuclear power would be so efficient as to
make energy "free--just like the unmetered air." That didn't happen.
Today nuclear power remains the most expensive form of electricity generation
in the U.S. --typically costing twice as much as a fossil-fuel-based plant.
Why then do so many
people keep coming back to it I think it's the same reason people turn to
geoengineering( 气候工程) and nuclear fusion( 聚变) (which has been "just around the corner" since 1943):
the promise of technological progress. For the past century or more, humans
have been accustomed to technological breakthroughs that made life easier, more
comfortable and more entertaining. But climate change throws future advancement
into doubt. It breaks the promise of progress. No matter what we do, we are
going to be paying for the costs of our historical and current use of fossil
fuels.
So we turn to
technofideism-- the faith that technology will save us. Perhaps it will. But
perhaps it won't, and our long-standing patterns of behavior will have to
change along with our technology. And that's a hard pill to swallow.
31．What is paragraph two mainly about
A．Nuclear energy has lots of advocates.
B．The supporters of nuclear energy are unwise.
C．President Obama failed to conduct his energy plan.
D．Doubtful remarks about nuclear power will attract criticism.
32．What is the purpose of mentioning the first American civilian nuclear power plant
A．To show it was a groundbreaking project.
B．To compare nuclear power and fossil-fuel energy.
C．To prove nuclear power didn't live up to people's expectations.
D．To indicate we need futuristic, untried technologies rather than nuclear.
33．Why do people turn to techno fideism
A．Because it can cut down the current use of fossil fuels.
B．Because we tend to trust technological breakthroughs.
C．Because people are skeptical about the promise of technology.
D．Because geoengineering and nuclear fusion have set a good example.
34．Which one is the writer's attitude to nuclear energy
A．Optimistic. B．Hesitant. C．Aggressive. D．Negative.
【答案】31．A
32．C
33．B
34．D
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；段落大意题；社会文化类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了核能将是气候问题的解决方案从而引发的争议。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和段落大意三个题型的考查，是一篇社会类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
31．考查段落大意。根据第二段“But many people think nuclear energy is going to be the climate solution. President Obama included federal loan guarantees for nuclear power in his energy plan, in the hopes of jump-starting construction and gain Republican support. (It did neither.) If I post something even faintly skeptical about nuclear power on Twitter, its advocates come out in force, accusing me of being a conservative, or worse.”但许多人认为核能将是气候问题的解决方案。奥巴马总统在他的能源计划中包括了对核能的联邦贷款担保，希望能启动核电建设，并获得共和党的支持。(两者都没有。)如果我在Twitter上发布一些对核能哪怕是些微怀疑的言论，许多核能支持者就会站出来，指责我是保守派，甚至更糟。可知，第二段主要讲的是核能有很多支持者。故选A。
32．考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“The first American civilian nuclear power plant broke ground in Pennsylvania in 1954, around the same time that physicist John von Neumann predicted that, within a few decades, nuclear power would be so efficient as to make energy ‘free—just like the unmetered air.’ That didn't happen. Today nuclear power remains the most expensive form of electricity generation in the U.S. -typically costing twice as much as a fossil-fuel-based plant.”美国第一个民用核电站于1954年在宾夕法尼亚州破土动工，大约与此同时，物理学家约翰·冯·诺伊曼预测，在几十年内，核能将非常高效，使能源“免费”，就像没有计量的空气一样。但这并没有发生。今天，核能仍然是美国最昂贵的发电形式，其成本通常是化石燃料发电厂的两倍。可推知，提到美国第一个民用核电站的目的是证明核能没有达到人们的期望。故选C。
33．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“But climate change throws future advancement into doubt. It breaks the promise of progress. No matter what we do, we are going to be paying for the costs of our historical and current use of fossil fuels.”但气候变化让未来的发展陷入了怀疑。它违背了进步的承诺。无论我们做什么，我们都将为我们过去和现在使用化石燃料付出代价；以及最后一段中的“So we turn to technofideism—the faith that technology will save us.”所以我们转向技术信仰主义——相信技术会拯救我们。可知，人们转向技术信仰主义的原因是因为他们倾向于相信技术突破。故选B。
34．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的“One was that nuclear power doesn't help.”一个是核能没有帮助；以及最后一段中的“But perhaps it won't, and our long-standing patterns of behavior will have to change along with our technology. And that's a hard pill to swallow.”也许会。但也许不会，我们长期以来的行为模式将不得不随着科技的发展而改变。这是一个难以接受的事实。可推知，作者对核能的态度是消极的。故选D。
（2022高三上·高县月考）阅读理解
Although the weather
is very hot now, the carnival of ice and snow is getting closer. The
preparation work for Beijing Winter Olympic Games, which are expected to begin
on Feb 4, 2022, has entered its final stage. In January, 2021, the ice-making
work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was
completed.
In the Winter
Olympics, where races can be won or lost by a small-time gap, tiny
imperfections in the ice can make a big difference. "It's not just a hunk
of ice like you'd normally think of, like ice cubes sitting in your freezer,"
told Kenneth Golden, a US mathematician who studies the structures of ice. "It's
a much more fascinating and complex substance than people would normally think."
The first step for
building any ice rink is to purify the water to remove dissolved solids like
salts and minerals. Such impurities don't fit in the regular hexagonal (六边形的) structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water
is, the more consistent the ice surface.
In addition to the
need for excellence in the raw materials of ice-making, technology is also very
important. As one of the most advanced technologies for winter sports venues, a
carbon dioxide (CO2) cooling technology has been applied on a large scale for
the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. CO2 is not new when it comes to
ice-making. However, it has been gradually replaced by the man-made refrigerant
(制冷剂) like Freon.
With increasing
attention toward climate change, the old refrigerant has come into use again.
As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn't damage the ozone layer.
Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much
lower than that of other man-made refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues
adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which
will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.
"We believe these
technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the
world in a more impressive way," told Gao Bo from the Media Operations
Department of the Organizing Committee of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
35．What is the result of impurities in water for ice-making
A．The water isn't able to freeze completely.
B．The quality of the ice will be affected.
C．The ice surface will be more consistent.
D．It's likely for athletes to fall on the ice.
36．Why has CO2 cooling technology been applied for the Winter Olympic Games
A．It's the most advanced technologies for ice-making.
B．CO2 is more efficient than other refrigerants.
C．CO2 is more environmentally-friendly than Freon.
D．CO2 has already existed in the atmosphere.
37．What is Gao's attitude to CO2 being applied to ice-making
A．Unclear. B．Opposed. C．Doubtful. D．Favourable.
38．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A．The Beijing Winter Olympic Games Is Coming.
B．Beneath Olympic Ice.
C．The Use of Refrigerants in Olympic Games.
D．The Structure of Ice.
【答案】35．B
36．C
37．D
38．B
【知识点】主旨大意题；推理判断题；细节理解题；科普环保类；说明文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了北京冬奥会在制冰的原料和技术上的精益求精。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，推理判断和主旨大意三个题型的考查，是一篇科技类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
35．考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Such impurities don’t fit in the regular hexagonal structure of ice that forms as water freezes. The purer the water is, the more consistent the ice surface.”这些杂质不适合水结冰时形成规则的六边形冰结构。水越纯净，冰面越稳定。可知，制冰用水中有杂质，冰的质量会受到影响。故选B。
36．考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的“As an element of the atmosphere, CO2 doesn’t damage the ozone layer. Although CO2 is a greenhouse gas, its greenhouse effect is much lower than that of other synthetic refrigerants. The Winter Olympics venues adopted CO2 instead of Freon as a refrigerant in ice-making, which will reduce carbon dioxide emissions greatly.”作为大气中的一种元素，二氧化碳不会破坏臭氧层。虽然二氧化碳是一种温室气体，但其温室效应远低于其他合成制冷剂。冬奥会场馆在制冰过程中采用了二氧化碳而不是氟利昂作为制冷剂，这将大大减少二氧化碳的排放。可知，二氧化碳冷却技术被应用于冬奥会是因为二氧化碳比氟利昂更加环保。故选C。
37．考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的“We believe these technological innovations will bring Beijing 2022 to spectators all over the world in a more impressive way”我们相信，这些技术创新将以更令人印象深刻的方式将北京2022年冬奥会带给世界各地的观众。可知，高波对于二氧化碳用于制冰持有支持态度。故选D。
38．考查主旨大意。根据第一段中的“In January, 2021, the ice-making work on the Ice Ribbon, a landmark venue for the Beijing Winter Olympics, was completed.”2021年1月，北京冬奥会标志性场地“冰带”的制冰工作已经完成；以及文章内容可知，本文介绍了北京冬奥会在制冰的原料和技术上的精益求精，“冬奥会滑冰场的秘密”可以作为文章标题。故选B。
