My Favourite BooksJo Usmar is a writer for Cosmopolitan and co﹣author of the This Book Will series（系列）of lifestyle books． Here she picks her top reads．MatildaRoald DahlI once wrote a paper on the influence of fairy tales on Roald Dahl's writing and it gave mea new appreciation for his strange and delightful worlds． Matilda's battles with her cruel parents and the bossy headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, are equally funny andfrightening, but they're also aspirational．After DarkHaruki MurakamiIt's about two sisters ﹣Eri, a model who either won't or can′t stop sl eeping, and Mari, a young student． In trying to connect to her sister, Mari starts changing her life and discovers a world of diverse "night people" who are hiding secrets．Gone GirlGillian FlynnThere was a bit of me that didn′t want to lo ve this when everyone else on the planetdid, but the horror story is brilliant． There's tension and anxiety from the beginning asNick and Amy battle for your trust． It's a real whodunit and the frustration when you realise what's going on is horribly enjoyable．The StandStephen KingThis is an excellent fantasy novel from one of the best storytellers around． After a serious flu outbreak wipes out 99.4% of the world′s population, a battle unfolds between good and evil among those left． Randall Flagg is one of the scariest characters ever．（1）Who does "I" refer to in the text？________A.Stephen King．B.Gillian Flynn．C.Jo Usmar．D.Roald Dahl．．（2）Which of the following tells about Mari and Eri？________A.Cosmopolitan．B.Matilda．C.After Dark．D.The Stand．．（3）What kind of book is Gone Girl？________A.A folk tale．B.A biography．C.A love story．D.A horror story．2. "You can use me as a last resort（选择）, and if nobody else volunteers, then I will do it．"This was an actual reply from a parent after I put out a request for volunteers for my kids' lacrosse（长曲棍球） club．I guess that there's probably some demanding work schedule, or social anxiety around stepping up to help for an unknown sport． She may just need a little persuading． So I try again and ________． I mention the single parent with four kids running the show and I talk about the dad coaching a team that his kids aren't even on…At this point the unwilling parent speaks up, "Alright． Yes, I'll do it．"I'm secretly relieved because I know there's real power in sharing volunteer responsibilities among many．The unwilling parent organizes the meal schedule, sends out emails, and collects money for end﹣of﹣season gifts． Somewhere along the way, the same parent ends up becoming an invaluable member of the team．The coach is able to focus on the kids while the other parents are relieved to be off the hook for another season． Handing out sliced oranges to bloodthirsty kids can be as exciting as watching your own kid score a goal．Still, most of us volunteers breathe a sigh of relief when the season comes to a close．That relief is coupled with a deep understanding of why the same people keep coming back for more: Connecting to the community （社区） as you freely give your time, money, skills, or services provides a real joy． Volunteering just feels so good．In that sense, I'm pretty sure volunteering is more of a selfish act than I'd freely like to admit． However, if others benefit in the process, and I get some reward too, does it really matter where my motivation lies?（1）What can we infer about the parent from her reply in paragraph 1？________A. She knows little about the club．B. She isn't good at sports．C. She just doesn't want to volunteer．D. She's unable to meet her schedule．．（2）What does the underlined phrase"tug at the heartstrings"in paragraph 2 mean？________A. Encourage teamwork．B. Appeal to feelings．C. Promote good deeds．D. Provide advice．．（3）What can we learn about the parent from paragraph 3？________A. She gets interested in lacrosse．B. She is proud of her kids．C. She'll work for another season．D. She becomes a good helper．．（4）Why does the author like doing volunteer work？________A. It gives her a sense of duty．B. It makes her very happy．C. It enables her to work hard．D. It brings her material rewards．3. Marian Bechtel sits at West Palm Beach's Bar Louie counter by herself, quietly reading her e﹣book as she waits for her salad．What is she reading? None of your business! Lunch is Bechtel's "me" time．And like more Americans, she's not alone．A new report found 46 percent of meals are eaten alone in America． More than half （53 percent）have breakfast alone and nearly half（46 percent）have lunch by themselves．Only at dinnertime are we eating together anymore, 74 percent, according to statistics from the report．"I prefer to go out and be out．Alone, but together, you know? " Bechtel said, looking up from her book．Bechtel, who works in downtown West Palm Beach, has lunch with coworkers sometimes, but like many of us, too often works through lunch at her desk．A lunchtime escape allows her to keep a boss from tapping her on the shoulder．She retuns to work feeling energized．"Today, I just wanted some time to myself, "she said．Just two seats over, Andrew Mazoleny, a local videographer, is finishing his lunch at the bar．He likes that he can sit and check his phone in peace or chat up the barkeeper with whom he's on a first﹣name basis if he wants to have a little interaction（交流）． "I reflect on how my day's gone and think about the rest of the week, "he said, "It's a chance for self ﹣reflection．You return to work recharged and with a plan．"That freedom to choose is one reason more people like to eat alone．There was a time when people may have felt awkward about asking for a table for one, but those days are over．Now, we have our smartphones to keep us company at the table．"It doesn't feel as alone as it may have before all the advances in technology, " said Laurie Demeritt, whose company provided the statistics for the report．（1）What are the statistics in paragraph 2 about？________A.Food variety．B.Eating habits．C.Table manners．D.Restaurant service．．（2）Why does Bechtel prefer to go out for lunch？________ A.To meet with her coworkers．B.To catch up with her work．C.To have some time on her own．D.To collect data for her report．．（3）What do we know about Mazoleny？________A.He makes videos for the bar．B.He's fond of the food at the bar．C.He interviews customers at the bar．D.He's familiar with the barkeeper．．（4）What is the text mainly about？________A.The trend of having meals alone．B.The importance of self﹣reflection．C.The stress from working overtime．D.The advantage of wireless technology．4. Bacteria are an annoying problem for astronauts．The microorganisms（微生物）from our bodies grow uncontrollably on surfaces of the International Space Station, so astronauts spend hours cleaning them up each week．How is NASA overcoming this very tiny big problem? It's turning to a bunch of high school kids．But not just any kids．It is depending on NASA HUNCH high school classrooms, like the one science teachers Gene Gordon and Donna Himmelberg lead at Fairport High School in Fairport, New York．HUNCH is designed to connect high school classrooms with NASA engineers．For the past two years, Gordon's students have been studying ways to kill bacteria in zero gravity, and they think they're close to a solution（解决方案）．"We don't give the students any breaks．They have to do it just like NASA engineers, " says Florence Gold, a project manager．"There are no tests, "Gordon says． "There is no graded homework． There almost are no grades, other than ‘Are you working towards your goal ? ' Basically, it's ‘I've got to produce this product and then, at the end of the year, present it to NASA．' Engineers come and really do an in﹣person review, and…it's not a very nice thing at times．It's a hard business review of your product．"Gordon says the HUNCH program has an impact （影响）on college admissions and practical life skills． "These kids are so absorbed in their studies that I just sit back． I don't teach．"And that annoying bacteria? Gordon says his students are emailing daily with NASA engineers about the problem, readying a workable solution to test in space．（1）What do we know about the bacteria in the International Space Station？________ A.They are hard to get rid of．B.They lead to air pollution．C.They appear in different forms．D.They damage the instruments．．（2）What is the purpose of the HUNCH program？________A.To strengthen teacher﹣student relationships．B.To sharpen students' communication skills．C.To allow students to experience zero gravity．D.To link space technology with school education．．（3）What do the NASA engineers do for the students in the program？________A.Check their product．B.Guide project designs．C.Adjust work schedules．D.Grade their homework．．（4）What is the best title for the text？________A.NASA：The Home of AstronautsB.Space：The Final Homework FrontierC.Nature：An Outdoor ClassroomD.HUNCH：A College Admission Reform．第二节（满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项．选项中有两项为多余选项．5. Imagine a child standing on a diving board four feet high and asking himself the question："Should I jump？ " This is what motivation or the lack of it can do． Motivation and goal setting are the two sides of the same coin．（1）_______． Like the child on the diving board， you will stay undecided．（2）_______． More than that， how should you stay motivated to achieve the goal？First， you need to evaluate yourself， your values， your strengths， your weaknesses，your achievements，your desires， etc． Only then should you set your goals．You also need to judge the quality and depth of your motivation． This is quite important，because it is directly related to your commitment． There are times when your heart is notin your work．（3）_______． So， slow down and think what you really want to do at that moment． Clarity （清晰）of thoughts can help you move forward．Another way of setting realistic goals is to analyze your short and long term objectives，keeping in mind your beliefs， values and strengths． Remember that goals are flexible．（4）_______． They also need to be measurable． You must keep these points in mind while setting your goals．Your personal circumstances are equally important． For example， you may want to be a pilot but can't become one because your eyesight is not good enough．（5）_______．You should reassess your goals， and motivate yourself to set a fresh goal．You will surely need to overcome some difficulties， some planned， but most unplanned．You cannot overcome them without ample motivation． Make sure that you plan for these difficulties at the time of setting your goals．A．This can affect your work．B．So how should you motivate yourself？C．However， this should not discourage you．D．So why should we try to set specific goals？E．They can change according to circumstances．F．Motivation is what you need most to do a good job．G．Without motivation， you can neither set a goal nor reach it．第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．6.

2019高考英语阅读理解专题选编（1）李仕才ATaylore is a kid who passes by to ride sometimes and help us with chores. Barely 15, she’s never short of advice, and one of her favorite pastimes is teasing me about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.Last summer four of us rode down the trail behind our woods: my wife Karen, Taylore, Taylore’s friend Kendall and me. I was riding my 13-year-old, Tawny.We were two miles from home when, for some unexplainable reason, I pushed Tawny into a gallop（飞驰）. The other horses were anxious to catch up, and just like that, the race was on.Taylore brushed past my left leg and, seconds later, Kendall went by on my right.I realized Tawny was covering ground faster than I’d ever seen her. She strained every muscle in her body to catch up with the girls. It was like a truck winding over a mountain road without brakes (闸). Part of me felt perfectly in control, while another part screamed that I wasn’t.In half a mile I knew we’d be crossing the highway, so I prayed that the girls would be fine. I gave up calculating how long it might take before my horse would be tried enough to want to slow down.I was just about out of answers when I saw the girls slowing in front of me. Their horses were relaxed and comfortable, not even breathing hard. Taylore’s face glowe d. She gave me a high five. ＂Wow, you did well, ＂she said. ＂I knew you’d go fast when you were ready.＂No one in the group had even broken a sweat, except me. I was still nervous from the crazy pace. My heart pounded too, but not from exercise. Karen claims I was showing off for the girls that day, and maybe she’s right. But I think I had something to prove. Because despite my wrinkles (皱纹), glasses and gray hair, I was feeling young at heart. And, like a horse on a warm summer day, I’m always ready to kick up my heels.1. How did the race between the girls and the author begin?A. His horse’s gallop made the other horses want to catch up.B. He wanted to show off his riding skills for the girls.C. They wanted to know whose horse could run fastest.D. They teased him about being afraid to go too fast on a horse.2. During the race, ___________.A. the author’s horse outran the girl’s horses the whole timeB. the author was confident that Tawny was in controlC. the girls were so anxious to win that they sweated a lotD. the author’s good performance took Taylore by surprise3. When the race ended, the author’s heart pounded because ________.A. he was feeling thrilled and youngB. it was really tough exercise for himC. he was worried that the girls might be in dangerD. he felt quite embarrassed that he had lost the race4. The phrase ＂ kick up my heels＂ at the end can be replaced by _________.A. devote myselfB. enjoy myselfC. accept my challengeD. take part in running competition【文章大意】文章描述作者和两个女孩骑马比赛，这让作者感到兴奋，也感到虽然自己上了年纪，但是有一颗年轻的心。

LampbrellaYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.”he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers p edestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.⑤In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies toprovide shelter.灯柱伞你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或者记得带上雨伞。

第Ⅰ卷第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分）略第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instea d of clothes that wouldn’t fit.I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later, when I saw n ewspaper advertisements for the se t at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautiful when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t get any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my first, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the sit is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.21. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.22. Which of the following an best replace the phrase “signed off” in paragraph 1?A.ended all their programsB.provided fewer channelsC.changed to commercialsD.showed all-night movies23. How did the author finally get this TV set working again?A.By shaking and hitting itB.By turning it on and offC.By switching channelsD.By having it repaired24. How does the author sound when telling the story?A.CuriousB.AnxiousC.CautiousD.Humorous【答案】21. C22. A[:23. D24. D22.A 词义推测题。
2019高考英语阅读理解细节理解试题答案及解释
2019高考英语阅读理解细节理解试题答案及解释1、 A new commodity brings about a highly profitable,fast-growing industry,urging antitrust(反垄断)regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns ares being raised by the giants(巨头)that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google,Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime,The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies’ control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God’s eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-borm threat. When this takes place,especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply panies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make form emments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users' consent.Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if govemments don't wants a data oconomy bya few giants, they must act soon.1.Why is there a call to break up giants?A.They have controlled the data marketB.They collect enormous private dataC.They no longer provide free servicesD.They dismissed some new-born giants2.What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate?A.Data giants’ technology is very expensiveB.Google’s idea is popular among data firmsC.Data can strengthen giants’ cont rolling positionD.Data can be turned into new services or products3.By paying attention to firms’ data assets, antitrust regulators could .A.kill a new threatB.avoid the size trapC.favour bigger firmsD.charge higher prices4.What is the purpose of loosening the giants’ control of data?A.Big companies could relieve data security pressure.ernments could relieve their financial pressure.C.Consumers could better protect their privacy.D.Small companies could get more opportunities.2 、El Nino, a Spanish term for “the Christ child”, was named by South American fisherman who noticed that the global weather pattern, which happens every two to seven years, reduced the amount of fishes caught around Christmas. El Nifio sees warm water, collected over several years in the western Pacific, flow back eastwards when winds that normally blow westwards weaken, or sometimes the other way round.The weather effects both good and bad, are felt in many places. Rich countries gain more from powerfulNiños, on balance, than they lose. A study found that a strong Niño in 1997 helped American’s economy grow by 15 billion, partly because of better agricultural harvest, farmers in the Midwest gained from extra rain. The total rise in agricultural in rich countries in growth than the fall in poor ones.But in Indonesia extremely dry forests are in flames. A multi-year drought (干旱)in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Niño may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters.The most recent powerful Niño, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and caused damage worth $36 billion around the globe. But such Niños come with months of warning, and so much is known about how they happen that governments can prepare. According to the Overseas Development Institute (ODI), however, just12% of disaster-relief funding in the past two decades has gone on reducing risks in advance, rather than recovery and rebuilding afterwards. This is despite evidence that a dollar spent on risk-reduction saves at least two on reconstruction.Simple improvements to infrastructure (基础设施)can reduce the spread of disease. Better sewers (下水道)make it less likely that heavy rain is followed by an outbreak of the disease of bad stomach. Stronger bridges mean villages are less likely to be left without food and medicine after floods. According to a paper in 2011 by Mr Hsiang and co-authors, civil conflict is related to El Niño's harmful effects—and the poorer the country, the stronger the link. Though the relationship may not be causal, helping divided communities to prepare for disasters would at least reduce the risk that those disasters are followed by killing and wounding people.

But Xing Pu, a 40-year-old economist, is asking the government to give red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years. He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country’s economic success, help the lower-income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption(消费)around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro-poor(扶贫)and pro-rural(惠农)policies(政策),including increasing spending on public health-care and cutting down the agricultural tax. But thelower-income group still needs more help.Xing said he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like theUnited StatesandSingapore. Earlier this year, the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts(救济)to their citizens. As for inChina, “We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1,000 yuan red packet to the poor,” said Xing.Although Xing’s suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet, many other economists criticized it as unpractica l. “To better use the increase of money, handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life,” said Qiao Xinsheng, an economic professor.1.Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1,000 yuan to each Chinese because ________.A.the poor should get help from the richB.the government should help the richC.the growing economic pie should be shared among the peopleD.the government doesn’t know ho w to use the money2.What has the government done to help the lower-income group?A.Spending less on public health care.B.Increasing the agricultural tax.C.Handing out money to every Chinese.D.Carrying out pro-poor and pro-rural policies.3.Xing Pu’s id eas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from ________.A.children receiving red packets from their familiesB.the US andSingaporegovernments offering cash handouts to their citizensC.the government’s increasing spending on public he alth careD.the rising prices in the country4.According to Qiao Xinsheng, what is better than giving out money?A.Supplying food to everyone every day.B.Cutting the price of energy use in daily life.C.Controlling the rising of prices.D.Increasing the government income.5、Rock music in one form or another is the most popular type of music all over the world. But where did it come from?Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Ame ricans. “R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid-1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock ’n’ roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock ’n’ roll was very dangerous.By the early 1960s, eve n rock ’n’ roll had become old-fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular — the Beatles.The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music.By the early 1970s, rock ’n’ roll had developed into a new form of music. El ectronics had replaced the amplified guitars and drums of rock ’n’ roll. “Rock” had arrived.Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock.1.When had rock ’n’ roll become very popular?A.By the mid-1950s.B.By the early 1960s.C.By the mid-1960s.D.By the early 1970s.2.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Beatles?A.It was not an American group.B.This group had their own style.C.This group made American style songs popular.D.The style of popular music had been influenced by this group.3.It can be inferred from the passage that Elvis Presley and Bill Haley________.A.were singers of “R&B”B.were singers in the mid-1950sC.were members of the BeatlesD.were popular with old people4.What's the best title of the passage?A.Popular MusicB.The History of Rock MusicC.Different Forms of Music in AmericaD.The Beatles6、I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.NikeIn the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s log o was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.McDonald’sThe logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped (拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.AppleThere are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.Mercedes BenzThe Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.1.What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A.They are boring.B.They are attractiveC.They are out of date.D.They are practical2.What does Nike’s logo stand for?A.The goddess of victoryB.The source of inspiration for soldiersC.The wing of the Greek goddessD.The statue of the Greek goddess3.We can le arn that Apple’s present logo is______.A.the religious story of Adam and EveB.Newton’s sitting under an apple treeC.a bitten apple with only one colorD.the rainbow-colored bitten apple4.Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?A.Nike –McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz.B.Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Nike – Apple.C.Mercedes Benz – Apple – Nike –McDonald’s.D.Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Apple.答案以及解析1答案及解析：答案：1.A; 2.C; 3.B; 4.D解析：1.推理判断题,根据第二段第一句中的“Such situation"可知答案在第一段,第一段暗示出分化商业巨头的原因是他们控制了数据市场, 故答案为A项。

（现代科技）李仕才【话题导读】灯柱伞是一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱，这样人们在忘记带雨伞时就不会挨淋了。
LampbrellaYou can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. ①But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.The designer says he ②come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street ad saw the street lamps ③lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp.” he said.The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella ④on demand. Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers p edestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.⑤In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow Department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.灯柱伞你不会每次都预测到大雨到来或者记得带上雨伞。
但设计师Mikhail Belvacv认为出门前忘记看天气预报不应该导致你淋湿。
这就是他创造灯柱伞的原因，一种有雨水感应伞的灯柱。
设计师说他在俄罗斯街头看到人们被雨水淋湿之后提出了这个想法。
“有一次，我在圣彼得堡中央街上开车，看到淋湿的人们躲到亮着的路灯下躲雨。
我想在街灯上安装一盏伞蓬一定很合适。
”他说。
灯柱伞是一盏外形标准的街灯配有一个雨伞蓬。
它内部有根据需要可自动开闭的电动马达。
传感器保证了无论何时下雨可向行人提供遮蔽。
除了下雨传感器，在玻璃纤维的街灯里也安装有可以检测是否有人需要灯柱伞的360°运动传感器。
如果有三分钟没有人用她就会自动关闭。
据设计者称，灯柱伞会以相对低的速度移动，因此不会对行人造成伤害。
除此之外，它会接地以避免可能的雷击。
每个路灯伞会为多位行人提供足够的遮蔽。
它安装在离地面2米高的地方，它唯一的不足是可能给高个子行人带来危险。
尽管还没有把这种产品付诸生产的计划，Belyacv最近把他的发明介绍给了墨西哥政府并且坚持这个发明将会安装在我的街道上，因为那儿人流量大却并不提供避雨的檐篷。
