（二）【2020 •北京市中考】
Today we can do everything with apps: pay bills, order food and shop for anything. Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands. However, when it comes to technology and health care, opportunities and challenges come together.
Let’s start with the ways to get health care. Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology
to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home.
In addition, there are many patient websites. These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team. Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology.
A whole new age of medical care seems likely (可能的) to come in the future. But every coin has two sides. What might be on the other side of techno-health care?
Firstly, we should think about the health care experience as a whole. A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. It’s unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition.
Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. This is certainly true in health care, where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors. The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone.
Lastly, test results can be difficult to understand. When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry.
So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it .There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine . It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results.
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch. Patients often need
someone to listen to —and care about—their journey story, which will never be realized through a human-less technology. Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them. 30. According to the passage, how does technology help health care? A It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites
.B. It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis C. It improves relations between doctors and patients. D. It provides an opportunity to build a medical team
31. The word “intuition” in Paragraph 5 probably means______. A. an ability to understand C. a chance to win
B. an interesting experience D. a fair decision
32. What do you know about techno-health care from the passage? A. Patient websites require trust from doctors. B. Talented companies can give medical advice. C. Flagged results may cause worry for patients. D. Medical equipment collects patients’ stories. 33. The writer probably agrees that_____. A. technology can deal with unexpected effects. B. telemedicine can take the place of usual health care. C. it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age. D. techno-health care should take humanity into consideration.
【文章大意】本文讲述了技术进步给健康医疗领域带来的机遇和挑战。
30.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段“Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis (诊断) and instructions without leaving home. 远程医疗可以让病人不用离开家就可以使用技术在线看医生并得到诊断和指导。”，可知它为病人提供了一种方便的诊断方法，故选B。
31.A【解析】词义猜测题。an ability to understand理解的能力；an interesting experience有趣的经历；a chance to win获胜的机会；a fair decision公平的决定。根据猜题所在句子中的such可知intuition指代的是上文中的“A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist (接待员) , who can see and tell how a patient is doing, This may influence the treatment effect. 通常去看医生的时候会有一个前台接待员，他可以看到并告诉病人情况，这可能会影响治疗效果。”，可知猜题句是指“病人的网站不太可能有这样的理解能力”,所以intuition应指“理解的能力”，故选A。
32.C【解析】推理判断题。根据第六段中“Next, sharing the details of one's life requires trust, which takes time to build. ”，可知分享生活细节需要信任，所以选项A是错误；根据第八段中“Very talented companies are working on it”，可知有能力的公司正致力于解决这个问题，所以选项B是错误的；根据第七段中“When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no
explanation on the website, there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds—and also great worry. 当一个没有医学学位的人在网站上看到一个没有任何解释的标记结果时，就会有各种各样的故事在他们脑海中形成，同时也会产生巨大的担忧。”，可知标记的结果可能会引起患者
的担忧，所以选项C是正确的；根据第八段中“There is medical equipment(设备) that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine .”，可知有医疗设备可以在家里通过远程医疗发送必要的信号和心脏声音，所以选项D是错的。故选C。
33.D【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects.”，可知技术应该是一种工具，但完全依赖它肯定会
产生意想不到的效果，所以选项A是错误的；选项B意为“远程医疗可以取代通常的医疗保
健。”，文章中没有提及，所以排除；根据第八段中“So how does medicine adapt (适应) to the new technology age? Very talented companies are working on it那么医学如何适应新技术时代呢? 有能力的公司正致力于解决这个问题。”，可知选项C是错误的；根据最后一段“Technology should be a tool, but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects. Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them. 技术应该是一种工具，但完全依赖它肯定会产生意想不到的效果。让我们的人性不用成为其中一个。”，可知选项D符合原文。故选D。

Every night, just after the sun goes down. Ruth Medjber talks with her neighbours in Dublin, Ireland, and takes a picture of them at their windows.
These photos, in some way, show people's lives during the global pandemic (大流行病). \"I started out taking photos of just friends and family. In this way, I could connect with them during this special time when people have to stay at home,\" the photographer explained. \"I live alone, so I was missing the days when we were free to communicate with friends. Every evening, on my way to seeing friends, I had a sense of purpose.\"
Now she's making new friends.
The photo project has taken off online, and she has opened it up to volunteers. But they must be the people who live within 5 kilometers of her home—the Irish government doesn't allow people to go farther out than that.
\"I pick a street each night and try to take photos of volunteers,\" Ruth said. \"I usually take about four photos before it is completely dark, but two if I'm talking a lot—which I love to do.\"
She said more and more neighbours are joining in her photo project and it has now got a name, Low at Home.
\"I think people like knowing that they're not alone even if they have to stay at home, and they really try to pick out those who are similar to themselves in the photos,\" she said. \"It's also a different view(视角) of the pandemic: the more human view. Instead of showing what the pandemic has taken from us, it shows that it has given us more chances to be with family and friends and spend time together.\"
\"I think we'd love most to find something nice, even in the most serious situation as it is now,\" Ruth said.
19. Ruth started out taking the photos in order to____________. A. raise some money C. make new friends

22. From the passage we can infer(推断）that Ruth is a _____________ person. A careful
B. shy

. Robots Are Now Teaching English! Get ready. Robots are about to invade our classroom. From Korea to Japan to the United States, schools are putting English-speaking robots in front of their students. In Korea, robots are the new teaching assistants in a number of preschools and kindergartens. The young students say that the robots are fun, but are these children really learning anything? I don't think a computer will ever be able to do what a teacher does. A teacher has to be able to respond to students as individuals (个体) . ___28___▲___29___, and a teacher has to change his or her teaching style to fit the needs of the student. I seriously doubt that a computer will ever be able to do this even though the big data (数据) is widely used in the world. Sara says: In my opinion, schools should spend money training human teachers rather than buying robots. Research shows that children learn more from real speakers than from recorded conversations. Keiko says: I don't think you can learn a language without real human interaction. After all, robots cannot think as humans do. Hassan says: Robots might be able to help people learn a language, but I don't think they should replace teachers because robots are just machines without human feelings. Nancy says: I think robots might be very helpful in the classroom. A child might be less afraid to make a mistake in front of a robot than in front of a real person.

“Amy! Milk!” Mama called.
Milk. It was Amy’s turn to get it. Amy sighed and shut her first-aid(急救) book.
Amy tied the cow close to a tree. Somewhere down the mountain, some volunteer doctors were teaching medical skills to village nurses. Amy heard Betty dive off hours ago. “She should have taken me with her. She thinks I’m too young.” Amy thought. “But she’s wrong. I am already 15!”
Amy carried the milk back to Mama, then wandered up the road. Roy, a village boy, was trying to stand on a horse’s back. “No wonder they don’t trust kids with anything important,” Amy thought.
She had just turned away when she heard a heavy fall and a few cries. Roy was on the ground. “Roy!” The kids nearby ran towards him. “Get Betty,” one said. Amy shook her head. “Betty’s gone to the city.”
The kids didn’t know what to do. Amy ran to Roy and saw one of his legs out of shape. A broken leg! She remembered what the first-aid book said about it.
“Victor!” Amy called to one of the boys. “Go get Roy’s mama, and find someone with a truck,” She turned to the others. “Give me your shirts. We need something to tie his leg with.”
Amy then found a strong, straight stick. She carefully wrapped the shirts around Roy’s leg and the stick. Roy cried out in pain. “I know it hurts,” Amy said softly. “But this will hold it still until you get to the hospital.”
When Amy was done, she looked up and saw Roy’s mama and a man watching beside a truck. “Thank you, Amy,” Roy’s mama said. Amy helped them lift Roy into the truck, then they drove down the hillside towards the hospital.
The next day, Betty came to Amy’s home. “I heard what you did,” Betty said. “You kept your head in an emergency. That’s an important skill.”
Amy’s face turned red. “I was afraid ...”
Betty shook her head. “It’s OK for a nurse to be afraid, as long as she has a clear head. The volunteer doctors are coming tomorrow with vaccines. We need some more hands. Can you help?”
“I’d love to.” Amy replied at once. “Come early, then. There is a lot to learn.” Amy smiled. “I’ll bring my first-aid book.”
26. Why didn’t Betty take Amy with her to the medical training? A. Amy was busy reading.
C. Betty left too early in the morning. 27. What happened to Roy? A. He fell off the horseback.
C He successfully stood on the horseback.
B. He was kicked by the horse.
D. He was pulled off the horseback by the kids. B. Amy had to milk the cow.
D. Betty thought Amy wasn’t old enough.
28. What is the correct order of Amy’s first-aid actions?
a. She found a proper stick. b. She helped lift Roy into the truck. c. She asked the boys for some shirts. d. She tied the shirts around the broken leg. e. She sent someone to get Roy’s mum and a truck. A. c-e-a-b-d
B. a-c-e-d-b
C. e-c-a-d-b
D. e-c-a-b-d
29. Why did Betty invite Amy to help the doctors in the end? A. Amy had similar experiences before. B. Amy was cool-headed when giving first-aid. C Betty regretted not taking Amy to the training. D. Betty realized that Amy had become a good doctor. 30. Which sentence best describes a lesson from the story? A. Only trained doctors and nurses can provide first-aid. B. Knowledge from books can help solve real-life problems. C. Children need enough practice before they can be helpful.
..D. Helping with housework is important to children’s health.

请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
These days, teenagers are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That's more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven't yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem: today's teenagers lack media literacy (媒体素养). In other words, they have difficultly critically thinking about the information they see. One study that was done on middle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldn't tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.
Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on (关注) the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. \"With a news story. news stations tell you what they feel are the important details (细节). These details mostly depend on the opinions of the news director.\" said John. \"A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on.\"
Some experts think shoe is the best place to teach media literacy. Other believe everyone—form parents to reporters—should help teenagers learn the skills.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. \"It's never too early to start learning media literacy,\" John said.
29. From the first paragraph, we can learn that teenagers today spend more time ______.
A. using the Internet than watching TV B. watching TV than studying at school C. studying at school than reading newspapers
30. The underlined word \"lack\" in Paragraph 2 probably means ________. A. 缺乏
B. 质疑
C. 误解
31. The example shows that a person who has media literacy _______about a news story. A. should have the same opinions as others B. could think about is good and bad sides C. must know about all the important details 32. Professor Kevin John would agree that _______. A. everyone is supposed to help children learn different skills B. children should be taught media literacy as early as possible C. news directors should report the news children are interested in 33. The main idea of the passage is _______. A. how to develop teenagers' media literacy B. where teenagers should be taught media literacy C. why teenagers are supposed to have media literacy
这是一篇议论文，文章讲述学生对于看到的信息缺乏批判性的思考，有必要让学生有媒体修养；有媒体修养的人对于新闻故事会思考好的和不好的一面；越早教孩子们媒体修养越好。 29.B【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That's more time than they spend with teachers at school”可知和在学校的时间相比，现在的青少年花
更多的时间看电视。故选B。
30.A【解析】词义猜测题。根据“In other words, they have difficultly critically thinking about the information they see”他们对于他们看到的信息缺乏批判性的思考，此处lack意思是“缺乏”。故选A。
31.B【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on”可知举例是为了显示有媒体修养的人对于新闻故事会思考好的和不好的一面。故选B。
32.B【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段“It's never too early to start learning media literacy”可知Kevin John教授认为越早教孩子们媒体修养越好，故选B。

When Claire Vlases of Montana was in Grade 7, she learned about plans to modernize her middle school. Claire asked the school board（董事会）to add solar panels to the project because, she explained, clean energy would be helpful to a really modern school.
The board liked the idea but said it could offer just $ 25,000-one-fifth of the cost. So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest. They sold their second-
hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations（捐赠）, even going door-to-door for them. One donated more than half the cost!
After two years of hard work, the group paid for the solar panels, which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs-saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars. “My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community,” Claire said. “There are always going to be hard parts. When there’s a challenge（挑战）presented to you, you can learn from it and use it as chance to overcome it.”
31．After knowing the project was still in need of money, Claire ________. A．raised $ 25,000 C．sold old newspapers
B．asked for more help D．donated half the cost
32．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph2 refer to（指代）? A．Solar panels. C．Shows.
B．Second-hand books. D．Donations.
33．Which picture shows the change of the electricity cost after the use of solar panels?
A． B．
C． D．
34．From Claire’s words in the last paragraph, we learn that ________. A．hard work was her favorite C．a small thing makes a big difference
B．the project went smoothly D．solar panels cost a lot
35．What would be the best title for the text? A．A Dependent Girl C．Don’t Waste Energy
B．A Modern School D．Never Give Up
学校安装太阳能电池板时资金不足，克莱尔为了帮助学校安装太阳能电池板，自己组织了一群孩子和成年人，他们坚持不懈，寻求帮助，经过两年的艰苦努力以后，太能能电池板成功安装，并为学校和社区节省了大量的资金。
31．B【解析】细节理解题。根据第二段中“So Claire organized a group of kids and grown-ups who set to work raising the rest.”可知，在得知这个项目还需要钱的时候，克莱尔组织了一群孩子和成年人去筹集这个项目还需要的钱，也就是说克莱尔寻求了更多的帮助。故选B。 32．D【解析】词意猜测题。Solar panels.太阳能电池板。Second-hand books.二手书。Shows.演出。Donations.捐款。根据上文中“They sold their second-hand books, put on talent shows and asked for donations.”可知，他们通过出售二手书，举办才艺表演来获得捐款，所以此处them代指上文中donations，表示“他们甚至通过挨家挨户的方式来获得捐款”。故选D。 33．C【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段中“which now provide one-fourth of the school’s electricity needs-saving the neighborhood thousands of dollars”可知，太阳能电池板现在提供了学校四分之一的电力需求，为社区节省了数千美元，也就是说安装了太阳能电池板以后，费用在逐步降低，结合图示可知C项正确。故选C。
34．C【解析】细节理解题。根据最后一段中“My favorite part about this project was that one person could start something small and then the project could grow and have a big influence on the community”可知，克莱尔最喜欢这个项目的部分是，一个人可以开始一些小的事情，然后这个项目可以扩大，并对社区有很大的影响，也就是说“一件小事就会有重大的影响”。故选C。 35．D【解析】选择最佳标题。根据全文内容可知，克莱尔为了帮助学校安装太阳能电池板，自己组织了一群孩子和成年人，他们坚持不懈，永不放弃，经过两年的艰苦努力以后，太能能电池板成功安装，并为学校和社区节省了大量的资金，所以文章最佳标题为Never Give Up永不放弃。故选D。

Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.
Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔塔) sounds with his tongue（舌头） to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙幅), he now moves about using sonar(声呐).

In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.
How does sonar work?
＂When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It’s like having a conversation with the environment

\"Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction.＂
What is it like riding a bike using sonar?
＂It’s exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second,, much more than I usually do.＂
Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?
\"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone(骨头) as a kid.＂
How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?
