2020年中考英语阅读理解专题复习(含答案)
2020 年中考英语阅读理解专题复习（名师详细剖析解题技巧+实战训练，建议下载保存）（绝对精品文档，价值很高，值得下载打印）一、解题技巧英语阅读理解是综合语言运用能力的一个重要方面，阅读理解题是占篇幅最长的、最耗时间的、生词最多的、单题分值最高的题型，当然，阅读理解也成为了学生们头疼的题型，下面就是初中英语阅读理解难点分析及高分秘诀，希望能助力同学们取得更好的成绩！初中英语阅读理解难点分析1. 单词不认识很多同学都有这种感觉，平时课本上的单词自己都掌握了，为什么遇到阅读还是有很多看不懂呢?这类问题被归结为单词量不够。
要解决这个问题，就是要多背单词，除此之外还要摸索规律。
第一、人名、地名没必要较真。
英语中有大量的词总是大写第一个字母的，而他们也大多属于专有名词，表示人名，地名，事件。
如Adela 、Manchester 、NATO 。
遇到这类词完全可以视若罔闻。
2. 前缀、后缀有规律英语中有些词通过前面或者后面加一些字母，就会变成另一个词。
如，regular-- irregular ，kind--kindness ，前者通过加-ir 变成起否定形式，后者通过在后面加-ness，变成了名词。
归纳起来，一般说前缀变词义（如肯否定），后缀变词性。
只要记住这个原则，平时在学习时有意识地去检验，积累各种加前后缀的形式，就不至于稍加变化就不认识了。
3. 有的词是需要摸索的在阅读题中，有的词是在文章中有提示的，因为英语写作有个潜在的规则，词语若非不得已，不要重复。
秉承这个原则，我们可以在文章的结构平行处找线索。
或是反义词，或是近义词，根据文章的具体情况，同学们不难做出一个比较有针对性的选择。
4. 考纲单词必须熟记。
大纲要求的单词、平时做题总是遇到的单词，生活中会经常遇到的单词，这些词是同学们发挥才智，施展所有做题技巧的基础。
没有特别好的方法，就是有恒心一直背：把单词表上的词分类，单独把不会的列出来，分批背，平时总是遇到又不认识的，用一本笔记本把他们都记下来，天天反复天天背。

AArtificial intelligence(AI，人工智能)can help us make phone calls. It can guide us to where we wantto go. It can play games. And now，AI can do even more things.Researchers from Microsoft have created the first machine translation system that can translate news articles from Chinese to English.The researchers tested the system by asking it to translate hundreds of sentences taken from newsstories. Then，language experts compared the results to the translation that were done by humans. Theexperts said that the system's translations were as good as the human translations.Experts used several methods to improve the system's translation abilities. “Much of our researchis really learned from how we humans do things，” lead researcher Liu Tieyan said.One method is called dual learning(对偶学习). In this method，the system translates every sentencefrom Chinese to English，as well as translates the sentences back from English into Chinese. This way，the system can improve itself and learn from its own mistakes. This is similar to what humans do to makesure their translations are exact.Another method makes use of deliberation networks(推敲网络)．The researchers taught the system torepeat the process of translating the same sentence over and over. Gradually，the system can improve the quality of its translations. This is similar to how people correct their own writing by going throughit again and again.( )1. Microsoft created a system that can ________.A. make phone callsB. give people directionsC. play games with peopleD. translate news articles( )2. What did the experts say about the system's translations?A. They were not exact.B. They were as good as human translations.C. They were better than human translations.D. It's hard to tell whether the translations were correct.( )3. Dual learning trains the system to translate ________.A. more quicklyB. different sentencesC. more exactlyD. the same sentence repeatedly( )4.

The passage wants to tell us ________.A. what artificial intelligence can do for usB. how sentences are translated from Chinese to EnglishC. how the machine translation system was developedD. why Microsoft created a machine translation systemBTeenagers are known for being creative and full of new ideas. Let’s have a look at these teenage inventions that might change the world.Banana leaves usually go bad in two or three days. Tenth Hadith, a teenager from India, used UV to make the leaves stay fresh for a year. Tenth thinks that one day the leaves will be used for making plates,cups and other things.David Cohen, an American teenager, built an earthworm(蚯蚓) robot. It is able to go into the smallestplaces, where humans or dogs can’t go. It will be used for finding people in a fire or an earthquake.Remya Jose, a 14-year-old from India, found it tiring and boring to hand wash clothes in the nearbyriver. She reused some bicycle parts and created a washing machine that saves time, energy and keepspeople fit at the same time.Kenneth Shinozuku, a 15-year-old from New Y ork, noticed that his grandfather who got Alzheimer＇s disease （老年痴呆） would often leave home and get lost. So he invented the wearable sensors(感应器)to help people find their family members like his grandfather.( )1. What is the passage mainly about?A. Popular adsB. Useful machinesC. Strange pictures.D. Teenage inventions( )2. The earthworm robot by David Cohen can ______.A. make things stay freshB. help people wash clothesC. go into the smallest placesD. take care of the old people( )3. Which of the following is TRUEA. Plates and cups are made of fresh banana leaves.B. Remya's washing machine can also keep people fit.C. David Cohen is a middle school student from India.D. Kenneth's wearable sensors will keep old people at home.CTechnology is everywhere. We see it any place we go and， in fact， almost all of us carry some pieceoftechnology with us every time we leave the house. What I always forget， though， is just how useful and powerful technology can be when we want to help othersThere is not a single room in my house that does not have some electronic devices（设备） lying around init. Whenever I am at home， I am a lmost always using at least one electronic device. If you walked into my living room on any given day， you would find that， first， I have the television on. At the sametime， I usually have my laptop resting on my knee， or I will be using my mobile phone， Even when i＇m not at home I am always using my phone， and at work or in cafes， I sit down and connect to the local wireless network on myopic.I must say that I waste a lot of time on the computer and the time I spend on it could be much betterspent if I were to take up a little online volunteeringThe technology we carry about everywhere can have a great power to do good for the world and to help others and recently I discovered just how much online volunteering there is to do in the world. From using yourlanguage skills to do translations， to developing and managing projects and helping with IT work， there is so much that so many people can do to help people in their own countries and across the world. TheUnited Nations， in fact， has a huge page with ＂Volunteers Recruited＂ on its website.This work can support the poor and help charities who cannot pay for staff. Many o rganizations only require you to work an hour a week-some even less. And the support provided by online volunteers can really helpmake a difference to those in need.( )1. From Paragraph 2， we can know that the writerA. uses technology a lotB. works in a cafeC. is a computer engineerD. likes modern music( )2. The underlined word Recruited＂in Paragraph 4 means“”A. OrderedB. WantedC. VisitedD. Warned( )3. In the writers opinion， people should spend more time with technology.A. working on computer programsB. keeping the Internet safeC. inventing electronic productsD. helping people in need( )4. What can be the best title for the passage？A. Website DesignB. Internet OrganizationsC. Online VolunteeringD. Online TranslationDDo you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?If yes，you're not alone. These days，many people are facing the stress in the use of mobile phones. They reach for their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning，and keep checking their social media apps to get the latest updates(更新)．A report from Google shows that 70 percent of people don't want to spend much time on their phones.This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for the new Android operating system(安卓操作系统). This new app includes functions(功能) that help users manage the time. For example，users can see how many times they've unlocked their phone，how many times they've checked their social media apps，and how much time they spend on each app every day.Once the users see this information，they'll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer(计时) function，users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day. After they'vehit the limit，they won't be able to use the app until the next day. And with another function，the app gets incoming calls silent when the user puts the phone face down.If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours on their phones，these new functions are just one way of doing that.After all，who needs to use an app to stop you from using other apps? The easiest answer would bejust to use your willpower.( )1. Where does the users' stress come from?A. Too many updates of the apps.B. Too many functions of the apps.C. Too much information they receive.D. Too much time they spend on the phone.( )2. Which of the followings is NOT included in Dashboard's functions?A. It stops the users from using their willpower.B.

Scientists say that more than40 percent of teenagers and adults consider themselves shy. Shyness is feeling a little nervous or asif you want to hide when you're around other people or in a new situation.___ Scientists say such things as genetics（遗传基因）， life experiences， and environment can influence whether a person is shy. For example, in some families, everybody seems to be shy.What happens if you are shy? Well, being shy may cause you to avoid or miss opportunities you would enjoy. How do people overcome (克服)shyness?

Overcoming shyness taketime and needs practice.Here are some tips given by scientists.Think of what to talk about before you leave home. Prepare things to talk about before you're in a social situation. For example, if you know your classmates are interested in an upcoming event, learn about itso you can join in the conversations.Let people know you're shy. If you're shy, just show it. Instead of letting people guess, tell them thetruth. Explain that you are shy and feel nervous but enjoy talking to people.Make things easy f or the other person. Remember, you’re not the only shy person around. Do what you think might help others feel good-for example, say hello or smile.Pick one social skill to practice at a time. Start simply.

It is a planet that could support life.This planet is just 4.2 light years away from us. It is so close that space scientists have considered it as a next door neighbor. They say it could be reached by an unmanned spaceship before the end of thecentury—in time for people alive today to see it.An international team of scientists found the planet moving around the star called “Proxima Centauri”. The result came out last month from the scientific magazine Nature.Scientists have long thought that a planet with water is important for life. And it has to be neither too hot nor too cold. The newly-discovered planet is a little larger than earth. Scientists have namedit Proxima B. It moves around its sun，Proximal Central once every 11 days.American scientists have been using instruments for years to look for earth-like planets. In 2013，scientists' best guess was that there are about one billion(1,000 million) “earths” in space.Alan Boss is the chairman of a group for outer space research. He said that Proxima B not onlyconfirms(确认) the discovery of a planet，but also increases the number of other possible “earths” greatly.Boss said it is possible，even likely，that most stars have at least one earth-like planet，which he considers surprising.So from the early number of a billion，this new research suggests there may be as many possibleearth-like planets as there are stars in the Galaxy(银河系). That is，anywhere from 250 billion to 500 billion“earths”．This makes the possibility of living things increasingly likely. Boss said he believes human beingswill be able to show that there is life in places besides earth in his lifetime. “I am 65，” he said，“ but I expect to still be alive when it happens.”( )1. When will it be possible for an unmanned spaceship to reach Proximal B?A. In about eighty years.B. In about 4.2 years.C. In about eleven day.D. In about one billion years.( )2. In the fourth paragraph，the writer thinks that ________ is necessary for life.A. waterB. lightC. airD. wind( )3. What does t he underlined word “This” stand for in the last paragraph?A. Scientists have discovered an earth-like planet last month.B. There are far more earth-like planets than people thought.C. Proximal B is not far from earth and is just like our neighbor.D. The Galaxy will be the only place for living things to live in.( )4. What does Alan Boss mean by saying “but I expect to still be alive when it happens”？A. His health is in good state and he's sure he will live a long life.B. Science is developing much faster than ever in recent years.C. Scientists may soon find fact that there's life on other planets.D. America is far ahead of other countries in space research.GBeauty sleep is a real thing, researches have shown that people who have enough sleep look more attractive (有魅力的) to others.A few bad nights is enough to make a person look "especially" more ugly, their sleep experimentsshow.The researchers asked 25 university students to join in their sleep experiment. They were asked toget a good night's sleep for two nights.A week later, they were asked to sleep for only four hours every night for two nights in a row.The researchers took make-up free (素颜) photos of the volunteers after both the good and the badsleep.Next, they asked 122 strangers to have a look at the photos and judge (评价) them on attractiveness, health, and sleepiness, as well as asking them: "How much would you like to make friends with this person in the picture?"The strangers were good at judging if the person they were looking at was tired, and, if they weresleepy, their attractiveness score was low.The strangers also said they wouldn't want to socialize with the tired students. The researchers say this is natural for people. An unhealthy-looking face makes people run away. In other words, people don't want to hang around with people who might be ill.Dr. Brewer, an expert at the University of Liverpool said "Judgement of attractiveness is oftenunconscious (无意识的), hut we all do it, and we are able to judge on even something small like whethersomeone looks tired or unhealthy. This study is a good reminder of how important sleep is to us."( )1. When did the researchers take make-up free photos?A. After two nights good sleep.B. After two nights bad sleep.C. Before the experiment.D. After both two nights good sleep and two nights' had sleep.( )2. The researchers asked the strangers to do the following except _______.A. telling who looked healthierB. telling who didn't have many friendsC. telling who missed a lot of sleepD. telling who was attractive( )3.

What does the underlined word "socialize "mean in Chinese?A. 合伙B. 玩耍C. 交往D. 共事( )5. According to the passage, which of the following is the best title?A. Beauty sleep, More attractiveB. More sleep, More FriendsC. Less sleep, Fewer friendsD. No attractiveness, No friendsHImagine having a simple app(应用程序) that works like this: When you need help，just open the app，touch the “not OK” button and a text message will be sent to five preselected(预先选定的) people，along with a location(位置) to show where you are. The message reads，“Hey，I'm not OK. Please call me，text_me，or come to find me.”US teenagers Hannah Lucas,15，and her brother Charlie,13，have created an app called not OK. Peoplejust need to pay $1.99(12.5 yuan) each month to use it.Hannah was inspired(启发) to create the app during a dark time in her life last year. She sufferedfrom a disease that caused her to pass out at school. Other kids sometimes bullied(欺凌) her about this.She felt sad and wanted to find an app that would allow her to get help when she wasn't feeling OK.She asked her brother Charlie，whose nickname is “Tech Support”，to find such an app. When they couldn't find one，they decided to create one themselves.They came up with some designs for the app first. Charile took a programming class last summer andbuilt a website for the app. Hannah also shared her idea in her summer business class. Some a pp developers showed interest and decided to help her. At last，the app came out in the US and Canada on January 31.Hannah is happy that her app is help ing others. “It makes everything I went through last year worthit，” she said.( )1．Who will know you're in trouble when you touch the “not OK” button?A.

Influenced by the launch of the first manned mission to Mars next month，you will most likely get a gift card for a space trip.The interest in trips,100km above the surface of the Earth，has grown steadily since such a trip began.However，the market has grown much larger this year since the official announcement of the Mars mission. More low-cost space-lines have entered the market and you can now find flights for such a trip for aslow as $3,495. It's very reasonable.Space tourism(旅游业；观光业)is one of the markets that have developed fast during the last decade，with the opening of the Star bright Hotel on the moon a s well as the low orbital hotels that started accepting guests. However，accommodation in space is still expensive for the average household，so the suborbital(亚轨道的) flights with thirty-minute weightlessness during the three-hour flight will for some time be the most popular trip.However，the space-lines might in the future face fierce competition between space elevators(太空升降舱)，like the one that is projected to start construction within two years. Once i t is fully functional，it will start to ship cargo to space. But it will accept passengers as soon as possible to get back thelarge investment. Even if the elevator becomes successful，it will take several years before there aremore elevators in the world to get in the competition for space traffic with the space-lines.Those who are looking for a little bit of adventure and have extra money to spend may want to consider a suborbital flight in space. While a suborbital flight may not be the space mission that you have always dreamed of，it will give you the rare opportunity to see what our planet looks like in a high-altitudeflight outside our atmosphere. So before you enjoy a trip by elevator to space，enjoy a suborbital flight first.( )1. From Paragraph 1，what will happen in January,2031?A. A gift card will be taken to Mars.B. Mars will be explored for the first time.C. Man will go to Mars for the first time.D. An affordable space trip will come true.( ) 2. The underlined “average” can most probably be replaced by “________” in this passage.A. commonB. high-incomeC. low-costD. low-income( )3. What is the space elevator's purpose in accepting passengers as soon as possible?A. To ship cargo to space.B. To get in the competition between space-lines.C. To start the construction of more space elevators.D. To get back the large investment.( )4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Space tourism has developed fast during the last ten years.B. A suborbital fight may be the space mission that you have dreamed of.C. The suborbital flights will be the most popular trip for some time.D. Even though the elevator becomes successful，we still wait for a few years to see more elevatorscome out.( )5. We can know from the passage that________.A. the low orbital hotels have opened since a space trip beganB. within two years，space elevators will begin to ship cargo and people to spaceC. during the suborbital fights，you will experience 30 minutes weightlessnessD. if you want to meet your curiosity，you may try a suborbital fightKThere's much to see under the sea，but you need to remember that light behaves differently in waterthan in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reachingout of to touch something and completely missing it.Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface，too. Be careful not to tellany stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just becausesometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!What's more，in deeper water，colors just don't seem as bright. In fact，it looks as if some colorsare missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths(波长) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red，yellow，and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths，the longest among these three colors，are missing. As you go down deeper，the same thing will happen tothe yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater，you will look terrible，like a ghost(鬼怪)! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoythe bright colors again.( )1. You miss the object under water when you want to touch it because ________.A. your eyesight is quite poorB. you are not quick enoughC. it is not as close as it seemsD. it disappears very quickly( )2. The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of ________ of an object underwater.A. the sizeB. the colorC. the positionD. the weight( ) 3. The underlined word “descend” probably means “________” in Chinese in this p assage.A. 上升B. 酒污C. 屏息D. 下潜( )4. Which of the following is true?A. A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.B. The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.C. Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the wave.D. You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.( )5. The best title of this passage is ________.A. The Standard of Color UnderwaterB. The Direction of Light UnderwaterC. The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD. The Behavior of Light UnderwaterLArtificial intelligence(人工智能)，or AI in short，is the science of giving computers and machinesability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineers have made a lot of cool technologies.AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result，facial recognition(识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology to identify criminals(罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. It also checks the ID of ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.AI is also used in self-driving cars，which are believed to be the future of driving. Most driversmay wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street，but self-driving cars don't have this abi lity. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show whatself-driving cars will do. For example，if a driverless car is yielding(让路)，it will flash two whitelights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tell s passers-by that the car is about to speed up.Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this—you come back from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner，he teaches you to play the piano，just like a real music teacher. Such thoughts will soon happen in the real world. In the future，more and more service robots will become good home helpers.AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.( )1. What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. To let somebody know his mistakes.B. To come to realize and tell who is who.C. To take somebody to the police station.D. To inform somebody of something important.( )2. According to the passage，what is facial recognition used for?A. Driving cars.B. Making people smile.C. Calling the police.D. Checking people's information.( )3. Which technology has been used in real life according to the passage?。

The frightened horse ran past him when he was working in the field that morning. He would have helped it whether it belonged to the queen or not. But he had to admit that getting a reward was nice.Two of the queen's men appeared. One carried a mirror. Red jewels shone on top of the mirror's silver frame. The other carried a wooden cage with a chicken inside it.“Only one reward can be yours,” the queen said. “Choose wisely.” “That's easy,” Peter said. “I'll take the chicken.” Some of the queen's men laughed. It was clear that they thought he had made a foolish choice.“And why did you choose the chicken?”the queen asked. “Well, I don't know much about jewels,” Peter answered. “But I do know about chickens. The chicken will provide eggs for my family for a long while.”Queen Olivia smiled. “Then you did make a wise choice,” she said. “That mirror may loo k fancy. But the jewels you see are only colored glass, and the frame is painted silver. The chicken is much more valuable.” Peter took the chicken and bowed. “Thank you, your majesty.”“You are a smart child,” the queen added. “I could use a smart boy to help take care of my horses. Would you like to take the job?” Peter smiled. “Thank you very much!” he said excitedly.A job at the castle paid well. Now his family would eat well for the rest of their lives—all because he was smart enough to make the right choice!1.What was Peter doing when a frightened horse ran past him? ( )A.He was working in the field.B.He was standing before the queen.C.He was carrying a mirror.D.He was helping the queen.2.Why did Peter choose the chicken as his reward?

( )A.Smart.B.Happy.C.Afraid.D.Nervous.Passage 2 [2020·原创]It is fantastic to go to different countries. You can see wonderful places and visit great cities. You can go to museums and markets, and meet people with different ideas and a different language. And, of course, you can eat different food, too.Sometimes the food in another country is different because it has a different taste—for example, food in India is often very spicy(辛辣的). But sometimes it is because the food itself is very different. So, what things do people eat in other countries that perhaps you don't eat in yours?Well, in Mexico, some people really like to eat grasshoppers. Do you think that's strange? Perhaps, but of course the people who eat grasshoppers don't think so, and in fact, grasshoppers are good for you.If you go to south Africa, you see that some places serve kudu—it's a kind of big antelope(羚羊). And in some parts of the USA, you can eat rattlesnakes—some people say it tastes like chicken, but other people say it's like fish. A lot of people just say, “It's delicious!”So perhaps you are thinking, “Oh, no, please. I just want to eat chips!” Oh, yes, chips. Now they are the same in every country, right? Wrong! In many places in Britain, people eat their chips with a curry sauce(咖喱酱)!So, when you eat a meal, stop and think. Perhaps people from other countries think that your food is really strange!5.The underlined word “yours” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指代) “”.( )A.your foodB.your tastesC.your countryD.your interest6.According to Paragraph 3, what do people in Mexico think of eating grasshoppers?

Now satellites are helping to forecast（预报）the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere（大气）, because this is where the weather forms（形成）. They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists（气象学家）can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare（比较）them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead（提前）.1. Satellites travel _____________.A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere? Because __________.A. the weather satellites can do it easilyB. clouds form thereC. the weather forms thereD. the pictures can forecast the weather3. Meteorologists forecast the weather __________.A. when they have received satellite picturesB. after they have compared new satellite pictures with earlier onesC. before they received satellite picturesD. during they study satellite pictures4. Maybe we’ll soon be able to forecast the weather for ________.A. one dayB. two daysC. five daysD. seven days or even longer5. The main（主要的）idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in _________.A. taking pictures of the atmosphereB. receiving pictures of the atmosphereC. doing other work in many waysD. weather forecasting（二）阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、B、C或者D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The Internet, mobile phones and Ipads are part of our lives now. Technology is greatly affecting all ways of our lives, from the ways we work to the ways we play. And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans.We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly.Global Positioning System (GPS) (全球定位系统)It’s a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact (精确地) information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It’s made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments (设备) on land and receivers.Space TechnologyRussian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless (无限的) advantages. It’s even hope d that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space.Underwater RobotHercules is a kind of Underwater Robot with some high technology equipments. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago. The world is changing so quickly that it’s hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It’s important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our l ives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the time.( )1. ______ can tell you where the user is on the earth exactly.A. SatellitesB. ReceiversC. Global Positioning SystemD. Underwater Robot( )2. According to the passage, which is NOT true about the ISS?A. It has carried people to other planets.B. It will provide a long-lasting lab for us.C.
