高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Although most hitchhikers (搭便车的人) are people, passers-by tend to ignore them because they are cautious about giving rides to strangers. But what will they do if they come across a hitchhiking robot? Will they take it to its destination or will they just leave the helpless machine by the wayside?

That is the answer Canadian professors, David Harris Smith and Frauke Zeller, who study the relationship between humans and technology, are seeking for after they came up with the idea of building a hitchhiking robot.

HitchBOT is built with cheap household items. Thanks to a PC tablet, GPS tracker and camera, hitchBOT not only can send its thoughts and pictures to the general public, but also can answer general questions and keep drivers entertained with small talks. The smart robot is even able to quote interesting facts about the areas it has passed through.

Not surprisingly, many people are doubtful about hitchBOT’s ability. Most people think the cute robot will be damaged by someone. Actually, they are all wrong. The robot hitchhiked all the way from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Victoria, British Columbia, a distance of 3,700 miles. It was first picked up on July 27th by an elderly couple. It not only reached its destination on August 21st, but also had some amazing adventures along the way. It visited national parks, went fishing, went camping, and even attended a wedding where it experienced its first dance and interrupted the bride’s speech.

In addition to helping it get to its destination, its Canadian fans have gone out to ensure its safety from covering the robot with a plastic cape (披肩) to help keep it dry to ensuring that it stays healthy with motor oil.

1.Why is the hitchhiking robot built?

A. To help passers-by reach their destinations.

B. To find out how people might react to it.

C. To see if it will give rides to strangers.

D. To entertain drivers on their way.

2.The hitchBOT can do all of the following except 　　　　　　　　　　 .　　　　 .

A. talking with the driver　　 B. dancing with people

C. sending its thoughts and pictures　　 D. answering any question raised

3.How long did it take the hitchBOT to reach its destination?

A. Nearly a month.　　 B. Over one month.

C. Two months.　　 D. One week.

4.What can we learn about the hitchBOT?

A. It was ignored by an elderly couple.

B. It didn’t meet with any danger along the way.

C. It experienced a long and amazing journey.

D. It will be put into the market quickly.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Winter sports tend to be more dangerous than summer sports — they take place mostly outside at the mercy of ice or snow, involving (牵涉) metal edges, extreme speeds and crashes. Skeleton (俯视冰梭), however, stands apart as one of the most difficult and least accessible of all the winter sports. Adam Edelman, Israel’s first Olympic skeleton athlete, would like to change that.

Edelman was the 10th athlete named to the 2018 Israeli Olympic Team. Qualifying for the Olympics in any sport is impressive. But it’s more impressive if you qualify for the Olympics after only four years in the sport — and without a coach.

Edelman was first introduced to skeleton watching the game on television in late 2013. Sports have always been a part of his life. He grew up playing football and was a goalkeeper on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology football team. Ready for a new challenge, he set his sights on the Olympics.

Without a coach, Edelman learned to drive by watching endless hours of YouTube videos and taking more runs than anybody else on the track. “When everybody else would take three runs per day, I would take six to eight.” he recalled.

Succeeding in skeleton takes a large amount of athletic ability and technical skill, but there’s one more element (因素) required, one that can’t be taught. “These tracks but built in the middle of nowhere, and it’s gray and cold. You haven’t seen your family in seven months and you really just want to give up. To continue, it takes tenacity.” Edelman said.

Edelman is already looking beyond Pyeongchang. The 2022 Olympics could be in his future, but whether he continues to compete or not, he promises to stay in Israeli sports as long as possible-as instructor or as a coach.

1.What might impress people most?

A. Edelman’s gift in winter sports.

B. The challenges Edelman has met.

C. Edelman entering for the Olympics.

D. Edelman’s successful story as a skeleton athlete.

2.Which word can be used to describe Edelman?

A. Modest.　　 B. Generous.

C. Ambitious.　　 D. Reliable.

3.What does the underlined word “tenacity” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Will power.　　 B. Extra strength.

C. Good luck.　　 D. Financial support.

4.What might be Edelman’s plan for the future?

A. Setting up a team of his own.

B. Passing on his skills and experience.

C. Calling on more people to take up sports.

D. Ending his sports life after the Olympic Games.
