2019版高考英语外研版一轮复习习题练习：必修4 Module 1《Life in the Future》(含解析)
第一部分必修四Module 1Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2019·天津，B) Whether in the home or the workplace，social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years.Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way，said Cynthia Breazeal，chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.While household robots today do the normal housework，social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools.For example，these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad.This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.The Jibo robot，arranged to ship later this year，is designed to be a personalized assistant.You can talk to the robot，ask it questions，and make requests for it to perform different tasks.The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions；it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household.It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.Social robots are not just finding their way into the home.They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market.The company's “Oshbot”robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.The more interaction the robot has with humans，the more it learns.But Oshbot，like other social robots，is not intended to replace workers，but to work alongside other employees.“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us，”said Breazeal.语篇解读：主要介绍了未来几年，社会机器人的功能与作用。

根据文章第五段第二句“The company's “Oshbot”robot is built to assist customers in a store，which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store.”可推知，机器人Oshbot的工作是一个商店售货员，故选C。
3．We can learn from the last paragraph that social robots will________.A．train employees B．be our workmatesC．improve technologies D．take the place of workers答案：B 推理判断题。
根据最后一段Breazeal的话“We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us，but with us”可以推断出社交机器人可以和我们一起做事情。
故选B。

B(2019·河北衡水三模)A woman was walking her dog along a beach in New Zealand in late June when she saw something that looked like a white ball in the sand. It turned out to be a young Emperor penguin that was lost. At his age, he should have been close to Antarctic, swimming for fish and playing on the ice floes (浮冰). But this penguin started swimming north and just kept going.The penguin attracted a lot of attention in New Zealand. It has been 40 years since an Emperor penguin was last seen there. Researchers at the Department of Conservation were called in. They decided to watch the penguin closely, but not to disturb it in any way. Many New Zealanders came to Peka Peka Beach to look at the elegant penguin. They were careful to keep their dogs away from it so it wouldn't be frightened.The public nicknamed the animal Happy Feet. Researchers started to notice that Happy Feet didn't seem well. It turned out that he had been eating the sand from the beach, likely thinking it was snow.The public raised more than 11,000 pounds for an operation to get the sand out of his stomach. The operation was a success, and Happy Feet was taken to a zoo in Wellington, NZ. A group of experts met to decide how to help Happy Feet return to the wild.Last Sunday, they put him on a boat called the Tangaroa, in a specially built ice-filled box andtook him out into the Southern Ocean, southeast of New Zealand. There, they released him into the ocean, which is his natural habitat. He took one last look at his human helpers and then dived into the ocean.“Emperor penguins spend their first five years at sea，”said Peter Simpson of New Zealand's Department of Conservation. “What happens now is up to the penguin.”Happy Feet was fitted with a satellite transmitter (信号发射器) so they can monitor his progress using the Internet. So far, the trackers shows that he swam northeast for a little while before getting his bearings and heading south.语篇解读：本文为一篇记叙文。

The Shenzhou-Ⅸspacecrafton Monday docked with China’s Tiangong-1 space laboratory. The mission’s three astronauts included China’sfirst woman in space, an air force pilot named Liu Yang.China’s political leadership has heavily promoted this week’s mission as proof of the country’s growing power. Additional ly, the Shenzhou-Ⅸmission reinforced China’s long-term aspirations for a manned space presence just as the U. S. has significantly drawn down its own manned space program and retired its ageing fleet of space shuttles.The Shenzhou-Ⅸmission is the first time China has sent a person intospace since 2008. It follows a China’s unmanned space docking last November and is the latest step in a 30-year-plan to assemble a space station by around 2020, part of an effort known as Project 921.When Chinese leaders approved a plan for a space station in 1992, “Chinese space professionals believed they would be latecomers to an expanding human presence in low Earth orbit, ”said Gregory Kulacki, a senior analyst for the Union of Concerned Scientists, in a recent research note. “Ironica lly, by the time they finish their space station in the early 2020s, the Chinese might be the only people left up there. ”Washington’s decision to end the shuttle program actually left Russia with the only one ever manned spaceflight. China’s space progra m, while decades behind the achievements of the U. S. and Russia, has made steady progress in recent years. Its planned space station is expected to come online around 2020, just as the $100 billion International Space Station is expected to cease operation. The U. S. , meanwhile, is hoping the private sector can pick up where the shuttle program left off. (300W)1. What is special about this manned space docking?A.

It’s a place where every home is equipped with a system that recycles valuable water resources. In this town, protecting the planet is a way of life. That’s how Abby Shar p, 14, Wyatt Peery, 13, and Tom Krajnak, 14, saw their city of tomorrow. The vision won theeighth-graders from Bexley, Ohio, first prize at the 2009 National Engineers Week Future City Competition.The annual design competition challenges middle school students to use engineering to deal with issues that affect the Earth. This year the competition focused on water conservation. Participants had to come up with ways to improve water use in the home. Kids from 38 middle schools across the country competed in the finals.

Hydropower ge ts energy from flowing water. “Our city is very globally aware, ”Abby told TFK.Students team up with a teacher and a volunteer engineer mentor(顾问)to develop their cities. Each group creates a fictional city on SimCity 4 Deluxe, a computer game that allows players to build virtual towns. Then they construct tabletop models of the cities and write essays describing their projects. The models must be made using recycled materials and cost no more than $100 to build. (297W)5.
