2、as there,shouting through her window,“Get out!”Neilson refused.Pulling open her door,the man seized her by the neck and hair,and threw her out of the car onto the ground.She screamed,grabbing her purse and the keys.Two reporters of the local newspaper,Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson,just outside their

3、 office building on a break,heard the screams and began running.When they reached Neilsons car,the attacker had jumped into the drivers seat and was madly searching for the keys.Bruce opened the door,and he and Jackson dragged the man out.The attacker fought back.But even in his cornered panic,he wa

5、pe you guys feel good about yourselvesyou just caught one of the most wanted men.” They ignored him and waited for the police.Later,Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the professional carjacker(劫车者)and suspected murderer,whose picturebut with a full head of hairhad been recently pri

6、nted in their own newspaper.Neilson considers herself lucky though she suffered injuries.She believes the story might have had a different ending if those good people had not come to her aid.“Unfortunately,” she said,“many people would never have done what they did,and that is the real truth.”1.The

9、as the three men.D.Neilson has great confidence in peoples kindness and bravery.B(2018浙江高三压轴考)Mention the word “coding” and the first image that comes to mind is a complicated algorithm(运算法则)that has no relationship to the real world.It is,therefore,no wonder that most kids avoid learning this skill

10、 that is becoming increasingly important in todays world.Now,thanks to a small robot,even kids as young as five,will be demanding program.Root,a robot,can be accessed using an iPad.It has been designed to teach coding to kids at various levels.For beginners or young children,Root is less about codin

11、g but more about problem-solving.Kids can construct a “what if” situation by moving icons(图标)around on the tablet and observing the consequences of their action instantly.This simple “cause and effect” logic can be used to teach the robot to “drive” along a vertical dry-erase whiteboard and quickly

12、draw with a dry-erase marker.Root can also be instructed to move around the floor,draw patterns,and avoid barriers.As students get more comfortable with the concept,they can download commands,meaning that Root can be told to draw a race track on a whiteboard,and then multiple Root robots can be inst

13、ructed to race each other.Other fun options include programming Root to go faster when driving over the color green and coming to a stop upon sensing the color red.Thats just the beginning of the possibilitiesRoot can also be taught to flee when it detects danger,which in this case is the beam from

14、a flashlight,and even play “Angry Birds” on a whiteboard using real-world physics.Since multiple Roots can be used at the same time,the robot is the perfect classroom tool to introduce coding to young kids.Raphael believes that this novel approach to coding will excite great interest because unlike

15、the traditional method,Root makes coding fun for even the youngest of students.Unfortunately,the robot,successfully tested by kids in the laboratory,is not yet available for schools.The researchers estimate that Root will be sold for about $200,making it fairly affordable for anyone that wishes to l

18、ds to break codes.CFilled with much housework,meals and childcare at home,many people feel that being at work sounds more like having a picnic.Even for those who have a happy family life,they feel actually more stressed at home than at work.Recently,a study carried out by the researchers at a univer

19、sity in the USA found lower levels of hormone(荷尔蒙) released in response to stress in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women a

20、re more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society,”said Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study.“Household work is boring and not pa

26、working style.4阅读理解提升练(二)A【语篇导读】 在一个温暖的星期一,Jenny Neilson 在车内受到了一个歹徒的袭击。听到呼喊声后,两名记者 Robert Bruce和 Jeff Jackson及时赶到与歹徒展开了生死搏斗,Reggie Miller 及时报了警。1.B 词义猜测题。根据第七段可知,那个歹徒是位专业的劫车者,也是位杀人嫌疑犯,而且他的照片曾经在 Bruce和 Jackson工作的报纸上刊登过,但那时他是满头头发,由此猜出这时候他是“光头”的。故选 B项。2.C 细节理解题。根据第七段的内容可知,那个歹徒的照片曾经在 Bruce和 Jackson的报社报纸

27、上刊登过;而后发生了这个周一的劫车事件:Neilson 在车内享受午餐歹徒劫持她的车歹徒被逮住。故选 C项。3.B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 Neilson 的话可知,很多人可能不会像 Robert Bruce和Jeff Jackson以及 Reggie Miller一样及时出手,见义勇为。故选 B项。B【语篇导读】文章介绍了一种名叫 Root的机器人,它可以教给孩子们编码。4.A 推理判断题。由第一段前两句可知,一提到 coding(编码),人们首先想到的是一套复杂的运算法则。它和现实世界没有什么关系。因此,孩子们都避免学习这一技能。由此可以推知,coding是比较复杂、比较难以掌握的技能

28、。所以孩子们都害怕学习编码。故选 A项。5.D 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Root makes coding fun for even the youngest of students”可知,该机器人可以使编码成为非常有趣的事情。由此可以推知,它可以使孩子们不那么害怕编码,对编码产生兴趣。故选 D项。6.A 细节理解题。由第一段中的“It has been designed to teach coding to kids at various levels.”可知,这个机器人会教给孩子们编码。故选 A项。C【语篇导读】 本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们更愿意在外上班而不愿在家做家务这一社会现象,

29、并对这一现象进行了分析,给出了解决方法。7.D 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,对于整天忙于做家务、做饭、照顾孩子的人来说,他们更愿意在外工作,在外工作压力小并且更像在野外聚餐一样心情放松。故选 D项。8.C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段 “Paid work is more valued in society, said Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study.Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”可知,Sarah 认为做家务不如上班有成就感。故选 C项。9.A 推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知,在工作中会获得成就感和别人的认同感,而在家没有这种感觉。故选 A项。10.B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.”可知,我们应该改变我们的家庭生活。故选 B项。
