Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2022·临沂市模拟)

Long before they found their way into living rooms around the world, computers were the belongings of institutes and corporate headquarters. After all, the huge and heavy mainframes of the 1960s might easily fill a room of their own.

The invention of the microprocessor—Intel’s 4004 was the first to be made commercially available in 1971—changed all that. Manufacturers were finally able to produce machines small enough to fit into customers’ homes. Yet, the question was: Could firms persuade people to actually want one there?

The story of how computers enter our homes is not one of technology, but one of marketing and design, according to a writer and journalist Alex Wiltshire, whose new book, Home Computers: 100 Icons that Defined a Digital Generation, tells the industry’s early history through its most influential models.“The technology was already in existence，” he said in a phone interview.“But what was important was the idea of putting it into a form that could be bought and easily used.”

The very first models in Wiltshire’s book were aimed at hobbyists and industry insiders. These so-called “kit” computers performed only basic functions. But the arrival of user-friendly machines like the CPET 2001 and Apple Ⅱ in 1977 were signs of a turning point.

“There was a massive change around the idea of’What if these computers were packaged, presented and designed in a form that anyone could use？’—that they wouldn’t require people to learn computer languages, or to devote several rooms of their houses，” Wiltshire said.“What if there were these objects that people could buy off the shelf and just plug into their TVs? That was the moment that the idea of a’home computer’ was born, and it was absolutely down to design.”

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。介绍了计算机的发展历程。起初，计算机非常庞大，能够填满整个屋子，之后制造商将其变小并能真正走进人们的家庭。

1．What can we learn from Alex’s book？__B__

A．Technology for home computers was not mature.

B．Marketing and design counted most for computers.

C．The home computer industry has a long history.

D．The writer’s idea was put in the design of home computers.

解析：细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The story of how computers enter our homes is not one of technology, but one of marketing and design, according to...Alex...new book...”可知，亚历克斯书中说，市场和设计对计算机来说最为重要。故选B。

2．What is the difference between “kit” computers and the CPET 2001__C__

A．“Kit” computers could handle complex operation.

B．“Kit” computers were more environmentally friendly.

C．The CPET 2001 was easier to use for common people.

D．The CPET 2001 was better than Apple Ⅱ.

解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“’kit’ computers performed only basic functions”以及“user-friendly machines like the CPET 2001”可知，CPET 2001对于普通人来说很容易使用。故选C。

3．What is the topping idea when designing a “home computer”？__C__

A．Designing it like a TV.

B．Designing it aimed at housewives.

C．Designing it easier to use and keep.

D．Designing it used learning languages.

解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“What if these computers were packaged... wouldn’t require people to learn computer languages”可知，家用计算机要很容易使用；再根据“could buy off the shelf and just plug into their TVs”可知，家用计算机要易于使用和存放。故选C。

4．What’s Alex’s attitude toward the change of home computer？__A__

A．Objective.　 B．Negative.

C．Indifferent.　 D．Suspicious.

解析：推理判断题。通读全文可知，亚历克斯作为书的作者，只是在客观阐述计算机的变化，并没有掺杂个人观点。由此可知，亚历克斯持客观态度。故选A。

Ⅲ.读后续写

(2021·山东聊城市高三期中)

The comeback

Luarie sat quietly in the empty dressing room at the ice-skating rink (溜冰场)．She had not been skating in any competition since her left knee was badly injured in an accident six months ago.As she waited for her turn to skate, Laurie was very nervous, with her legs trembling.She knew that today was a very important day, in her comeback.

“If I can win today，” she thought, “I can skate in the World Cup next year and then maybe I can make it to the Olympics.”

Laurie was just told that she had a tough competition this year, a girl from Connecticut named Jinny Jordan who was really strong in everything.“She is the one you have to beat this year.” the coach said.

Minutes later, the door opened and Laurie saw a young woman who was about her own age.The young woman put some of her belongings onto a chair.However, the bag fell to the floor.

Laurie glared at Jinny, “So this is my competition，” thought Laurie.“Because of her, I may lose tonight.”

“This costume was my mom’s idea，” Jinny started the conversation, looking down at her red, white, and blue skating dress.“I look like a flag.”

Laurie couldn’t keep from smiling.She pointed to Jinny’s skating bag.“Some stuff fell out of your bag.” Laurie said.

Jinny looked at the clothing and equipment that lay scattered on the floor.As she began to gather her belongings, the door opened.

“Jinny，” called someone, “You’d better give the tape of your music to the sound engineer right away.”

“I thought I gave him my music tape half an hour ago，” said Jinny.“Tell him it’s the green box with my initials written in white in the right-hand corner.”

“He claims you never gave it to him, and he is getting angry.”

“Then I don’t know what I did with it，” said Jinny, hurrying out.

Laurie knew that music was nearly as important to the program as skating itself.If she lost her music tape, she might as well forget about skating.Laurie stood up and walked to the chair to do a few more knee bends.

参考范文：

Suddenly she saw something small and dark green behind the leg of the dressing table.She pulled it out, and saw the white Initials J．J.in the top right-hand corner.“It’s Jinny’s music tape！” She exclaimed, Laurie’s heart started beating fast.“All I’d have to do is forget that I found this，” she thought.“If Jinny doesn’t have her music, she might as well not skate.And then I would win.” Laurie shivered slightly as she thought about this.Then she wondered, “Does winning mean so much to me that I’d be willing to cheat for it？” She walked to the door and called Jinny loudly.

Feeling relieved, Laurie skated quickly to the center of the

 rink after the announcer finally called her name.The music filled the stadium and she skated gracefully and beautifully.Her left knee was fine and she felt herself gliding on the ice.The audience applauded from time to time, enthusiastically supporting her in her comeback.When she finished, her coach ran up to her and hugged her.“You did it, Laurie！” She said.Laurie smiled and thought about Jinny’s music tape.“No one will ever know how close I really came to losing，” she said softly to herself.
