Ⅱ.阅读理解

(2020·全国新高三开学联考)Slowly but surely, we're moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smarthome security to selfdriving cars, all the internetconnected devices in our life will be able to talk to each other at lightningfast speeds with reduced delay. Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the US top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.
“5G is one of those heralds (使者), along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age，” said Steve Koenig, senior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. The selfdriving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It's pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, and also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There's lots of data behind that task, which is why we need the high speed.
And virtual reality glasses and headsets haven't yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist—or even replace—smartphones.
Ericsson stated at February's Mobile World Congress how smart glasses could become faster and lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.
But don't get too excited. There's still a lot of work to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。随着科技的不断发展，5G时代即将来临。它最大的优势就是上网速度大大加快。
1．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．A right security of 5G.
B．The super speed of 5G.
C．A potential dream of 5G.
D．The present world of 5G.
答案：B 段落大意题。首段先提出5G时代即将来临，接下来介绍5G上网下载的高速度，相比于目前的4G,5G有望达到千兆的上网速度。故首段的主要内容是介绍5G的超级速度。
2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2?
A．exhibition B．explanation
C．sponsor D．symbol
答案：D 词义猜测题。该句意为“无人驾驶车辆是这个数字时代的伟大象征”；根据后面的补充解释“it is a sign of time”也可推知画线词是“象征”的意思。
3．What do some tech companies expect of virtual reality glasses?
A．They will be heavier than present ones.
B．They will process power on their own.
C．They will serve people instead of smartphones.
D．They will bring a big fortune to tech companies.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“... but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones”可知，科技公司预计这些装置最终会取代我们的手机。因此选C。
4．What will the author tell us in the next paragraph?
A．How to fully expand 5G coverage.
B．How to effectively reduce 5G trials.
C．How to nicely operate 5G hardware.
D．How to widely construct 5G big cities.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容，尤其是“... so 5G isn't concentrated only in big cities”可知，迎接5G时代的到来，我们还有很多的工作要做，其中就有升级其技术，让5G不仅仅是应用于大城市。故A项“怎样扩大5G的覆盖率”符合接下来的叙述内容。

(2020·南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题)As life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.
In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only when the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20, 000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city\” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.
University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose their ideas and sometimes even develop them by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life，\” said Munoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.
The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。传感器、GPS定位等现代科技手段帮助西班牙的港口城市桑坦德避免了交通拥堵、缩短等车时间、减少资源浪费等。这种做法正在吸引欧洲的大城市以及其他更多地方的注意力，他们都在寻找解决城市问题的智能方案。
5．What is the life like in Santander?
A．It is meaningful.
B．It is full of freedom.
C．It is likely to change fast.
D．It is efficient and convenient.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据题干中的关键词in Santander定位到文章的第二段。根据该段中的内容，尤其是“parking is easy to find” “Trash is collected only ... gets day.”可推知，在桑坦德的生活是高效方便的，故答案是D。
6．How can residents help Munoz's job?
A．By offering some original or fresh ideas.
B．By showing him around the city.
C．By installing sensors themselves.
D．By using as little water as possible.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词residents和Munoz's job定位到文章的第三段。根据该段中的“Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter” “They propose their ideas”可知，当地人有了想法会向Munoz提出来，故答案是A。
7．What does the underlined word “Another\” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．A university. B．A phone.
C．An app. D．An easy route.
答案：C 指代判断题。根据上文“the university helped a woman create an app ... with a baby stroller”可知，这所大学开发了一款应用程序，该应用程序为推婴儿车散步的女士规划了最舒适的路线。结合画线词所在句的句意可推知，画线词指的是另一款应用程序，故答案是C。
8．What can be the best title for the text?
A．A Worldwide Problem
B．A Smart City Project
C．A Creative Researcher
D．A Trend in Urban Design
答案：B 标题判断题。根据第二段最后一句“They are part of the ‘smart city’ project, launched ... seven years ago.”并结合文章其他内容可知，本文主要介绍了智能城市项目的相关内容，故B项最适合作为文章标题。
Ⅲ.短文改错
(2019·江西省樟树中学高二第3次月考)Two years before, I traveled to Brazil and I rented for a car. Unfortunate, I had an accident and hit another car, and I needed to stay in a hospital for at least two week. I called my parents, so I did not tell them what had happened. I knew that they will be worried about myself because I was so farther away, and that my mother would not sleep if she knew. Therefore, I told them interested stories and how I was enjoying Brazil. As a result, nobody knew truth. I still think that it was the right thing to do.
答案：
1．第一句：before→ago 考查副词。此处是一般过去时，表示“两年前”，应将before改为ago。
2．第一句：删除for 考查动词。rent用作及物动词时，后接房屋、土地等名词作宾语。这里是用作及物动词，故删除for。
3．第二句：Unfortunate→Unfortunately 考查副词。修饰整个句子应用副词，故将Unfortunate改为Unfortunately。
4．第二句：week→weeks 考查名词。week是可数名词，根据“two”可知，应将week改为weeks。
5．第三句：so→but 考查连词。根据句意可知，这里表转折，故将so改为but。
6．第四句：will→would 考查动词的时态。根据主句knew可知，从句应用过去将来时，故用would。
7．第四句：myself→me 考查代词。这里是指他们会担心“我”，故直接接人称代词宾格。
8．第四句：farther→far 考查形容词。根据句子结构可知，作表语，用形容词far，没有比较范围和对象，故不用比较级。
9．第五句：interested→interesting 考查形容词。表示“有趣的故事”应该用interesting作定语。
10．第六句：truth前加the 考查冠词。the truth在本句中为单数概念，且表特指。
