(2020·邯郸二模)In January，2017，snow began to fall across the Apennines.For
days it came down，and the enormous drifts(雪堆)on the mountain grew taller by the
hour.
In spite of the bad weather，Matrone and his wife decided to make the trip to
the mountain resort and have an overnight getaway.Unfortunately，a small earthquake
broke out that night，which caused an avalanche(雪崩)．The avalanche gathered speed
and size，grabbing rocks and trees and anything else in its way as it roared down
the mountain.
The snow—and the weight of everything it had brought down the mountain with it
swept the hotel from its foundation and sent everything flying more than 100 yards
away.Matrone was trapped 30 feet beneath the snow and ruins，unable to move.Every
time he came to life from faint，he dreamed of walking alongside his wife.
Eight hours later，the rescuers arrived.The search work went on slowly.Finally，
more than 30 hours after the search began，they heard something astonishing: a woman
crying for help.Adriana and her son were the first to be rescued alive.
Finding the survivors electrified the rescuers.They tunneled quickly in the
ruins.The rescue team had been working nonstop for more than two days when they heard
a voice.It was Matrone. The angled beams had created a cocoon that prevented Matrone
from being crushed(压)to death. Those near him had not been so lucky.
Rescuers raised the concrete beams off Matrone's limbs and lifted him out.It was
some 60 hours since the avalanche.He was one of 11 people out of 40 to have
survived.Soon after，he was airlifted to a hospital in a nearby town.
Five days after his rescue，Matrone was given the heartbreaking news that his
wife had died.Her body had been found near where Matrone had been trapped.The angel
who had appeared in his dreams had never left his side.

(2020·山东省日照市第三次模考) As the novel coronavirus epidemic continues，
one school after another has organized online classes.The most common form is live
streaming，in which all participants，teacher and students alike，sit in front of
a computer camera and see each other via the platform.
Many teachers and students simply wear casual clothing for the class，and jokes
emerge about each other's appearance.After all，most of the time it is the teacher
appearing on screen，and the students，even if called on by the teacher，will only
show their faces.
Yet Shijiazhuang No.1 Middle School in Hebei Province recently triggered heated
discussion by requiring teachers to wear formal suits and students to wear uniforms
while attending online classes.
By Saturday morning，the related topic has become one of the hottest topics on
Sina Weibo，with 180 million views.
“The practice can improve students' sense of formality in the online classes
and make them more attentive，”said Yao Haibo，a head teacher of the school in a
video clip.“It can also grant students a sense of honor and make them remember their
identities as students.”
However，in the comment sections，some micro bloggers claiming to be students
disagreed.
“Not useful.Whether one works hard or not is not decided by a uniform” was the
most highly voted comment，with 31，000 “likes”．
“Maybe a good move，but unnecessary” was another highly voted comment.
Whatever the argument is，the problem might be solved in the notsodistant future.
Accordi ng to official data，the number of newly confirmed diagnosed cases was 397
on Saturday.
The students and teachers might，hopefully，see each other in classrooms soon.

8．We can infer from the passage that________．
A．online classes are popular in schools
B．teachers have classes online as the novel coronavirus epidemic continues

解析：推理判断题。第一段直接提到因为病毒的继续，师生们一直上网课并且他们可以
从平台上互相见面；第二段的第二句也直接提到主要是老师出现在屏幕上，而学生不是，这
些都是直接提到的信息，而非推断，排除 B、C、D 三项。但根据这些内容，我们可以推断现
在网课正在学校盛行，A 项正确。
答案：A
9．Requiring students to wear uniforms while attending online classes is not
because ________ in Shijiazhuang No.1 Middle School.

第一句中的“jokes emerge about each other's appearance”、第五段第一句中的“The
practice can improve students' sense of formality”与第五段最后一句中的“make them
remember their identities as students”可知，A、B、D 三项是原因；C 项说法文中未提
及。故选 C。

因此答案是 D 项。
答案：D
D
(2020·河南大教育合作学校 6 月联考)Wang Zhonglin started playing table tennis
only four years ago.But last year，he and other researchers came up with a clever
way to up their game：Build a smart table.
Now they've built a prototype(样品)．It can measure where a ball lands，how fast
the ball's going，where it's headed and the angle it was traveling.The table can do
that because its special wood surface forms the top layer(层)of a novel selfpowered
sensor.The data it acquires could guide players to perform better.
Importantly，the new smart table won't need a battery to detect the ball.When
a ball hits the wood，it sets off a chain of events that can both produce a small
electric current(电流)and record measurements of the ball's behavior.
What makes the new game table truly unique is its use of wood as one of the layers
because wood can produce electricity by rubbing against it.But Wang's group realized
they couldn't rely on wood that comes directly from a tree.It's too hard and too easily
broken.They needed a kind of wood that could bend.So they boiled the wood in chemicals
for seven hours.Then they dipped the wood in boiling water.Once it came out of the
boiling baths，the wood bent easily.
The scientists then cut the treated wood into small squares.Each measured just
1.8 inches on a side.Those squares became the top layer.Beneath this wood，they added
a layer of metal to conduct electricity.They attached that layer to a metal wire.Then，
instead of using a tabletennis ball，they hit the surface with a type of hard
plastic.When it registered an electric current，they moved on to building a test table.
“It is amazing.To me，selfpowered sensors of wood is the first move toward using
energy harvesting and sensing in sports，”said Askar，an engineer in Canada.And it
need not end with table tennis，he added.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种新的发明——智能乒乓球桌面。
它可以感知乒乓球的速度、方向等，从而帮助人们提高球技。
12．What can we know about Wang's invention?
A．Its battery lasts very long.
B．It sells well in the market.
C．It can accelerate the ball's speed.
D．It can judge the ball's direction.
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“where it's headed”可知，智能乒乓球桌能够感
知球的方向。
答案：D
13．Why did Wang use wood surface?
A．It is easy to get.
B．It can produce electricity.
C．It is hard enough.
D．It is environmentally friendly.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段末句可知，科学家之所以使用木头，是因为木头在敲击
下会产生电流。
答案：B
14．What was the wood like after being treated?
A．It bent easily. B．It shrunk greatly.
C．It broke easily. D．It became harder.
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段末句可知，经过处理的木头变得容易弯曲。
答案：A
15．What can be inferred from Askar's words?
A．Sports meets will end with a table tennis match.
B．The technology will be used in other sports.
C．Table tennis isn't the first to use selfpowered sensors.
D．The table tennis ball will be selfpowered in the future.
解析：推理判断题。根据短文可知，加拿大工程师认为木头的自供电传感器是在运动中
使用能量收集和传感的第一步，以后会逐渐应用到其他运动中。
答案：B
