III 阅读理解
The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats' "century cameras" -cameras with a 100-year-long exposure time-will be retrieved from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited. Six months after that, the Future Library in Oslo, Norway, will open its doors for the first time, presenting 100 books printed on the wood of trees in the distant past of 2014.
As Katie Paterson, the creator of the Future Library, puts it: "Future Library is an artwork for future generations." These projects, more than a century in the making, are part of a new way of "slow art" intended to push viewers and participants to think beyond their own lifetimes. They aim to challenge today's short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately. In their way, too, they are fighting against modern culture-not just regarding money but also the way in which artistic worth is measured by attention.
In a similar fashion, every April on Slow Art Day, visitors are encouraged to stare at five works of art for 10 minutes at a time-a tough ask for the average museum visitor, who typically spends less than 30 seconds on each piece of art.
Like the Future Library, the century cameras are very much a project for cities, since it's in cities that time runs fastest and the pace of life is fastest. "Since I started living in a city, I've somehow been quite disconnected," Anne Beate Hovind, the Future Library project manager, who described how working on the library drew her back to the pace of life she knew when she was growing up on a farm in her youth, told The Atlantic magazine.
Works like Future Library and the century cameras raise all sorts of questions. Will any of the cameras survive Will any of Future Library works be any good What will future generations make of century art, and will they see it as the gift that it's intended to be More specifically, for those of us struggling with "a crisis of attention", the question seems to be: How can we adopt this attitude now, in everyday life When we struggle to look up from our mobile phones, how can we look beyond the present moment and think broadly and generously across time
(1)What will happen in May 2114 in Berlin according to the article
A.A camera produced 100 years ago will be exhibited.
B.The Future Library will open its doors for the first time.
C.Photos with a 100-year exposure time will be developed and exhibited.
D.Books printed on the wood of trees planted in 2014 will be displayed in the city.
(2)What does the underlined word "retrieved" in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A.brought back
B.put away
C.replaced
D.repaired
(3)We can learn from the article that the wave of slow art .
A.started in the late 20th century in Germany
B.is pushing people to spend more money on works of art
C.aims to promote modern culture
D.encourages people to pay more attention to works of art
(4)What can be concluded from the article
A.People living in urban areas are likely to feel more connected to the outside world.
B.Katie Paterson is very optimistic about the survival of the century cameras.
C.Anne Beate Hovind believes the Future Library will be a perfect solution to the current crisis of people paying attention.

【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了2114年艺术上的一些新成果及对人生活的影响,鼓励人们更多地关注艺术作品。
(1)考查细节理解。根据第一段中的“The year 2114 will be an eventful one for art. In May of that year in Berlin, the philosopher-artist Jonathon Keats' “century cameras”-cameras with a 100-year-long exposure time-will be retrieved from hiding places around the city to have their results developed and exhibited.” 2114年对艺术来说将是充满大事的一年。同年5月在柏林,哲学家兼艺术家Jonathon Keats的“世纪相机”——有曝光时间长达100年的相机——将从柏林各地的隐藏地点取回,并对其成果进行冲洗和展出。可知2114年,在柏林将冲洗和展示具有 100 年曝光时间的照片。故选C。
(2)考查词义猜测。根据空后“to have their results developed and exhibited.”对其成果进行冲洗和展出,所以推断上文应该是从隐藏地点取回,该词“retrieved”,意为“取回”同brought back同义,故选A。
(3)考查细节理解。根据第二段中的“They aim to challenge today's short-term thinking and the brief attention spans of modern consumers, forcing people into considering works more deliberately.”他们的目标是挑战今天的短期思维和现代消费者短暂的关注时间,迫使人们更加慎重地考虑作品。由此可知慢艺术鼓励人们更多的关注艺术。故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。根据最后一段“Works like Future Library and the century cameras raise all sorts of questions.”像“未来图书馆”和“世纪相机”这样的作品提出了各种各样的问题;,以及“the question seems to be: How can we adopt this attitude now, in everyday life When we struggle to look up from our mobile phones, how can we look beyond the present moment and think broadly and generously across time ”问题似乎是:我们现在在日常生活中如何采取这种态度 当我们挣扎着从手机上抬起头时,我们如何才能超越当下,更广泛、更慷慨地跨越时间 由此可推断人们对《未来图书馆》和《世纪相机》等作品仍有很多疑问,故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇文化类阅读,考生需要准确捕捉细节信息,并根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,从而选出正确答案。
IV
【答案】 have/has seen;connected;which;us;the;entertainment;disappear;in;Personally;and
【解析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了人们对网络的未来持有不同的看法。有人担忧网络犯罪而很多人对互联网的未来充满乐观。一些专家说,虚拟现实将成为未来生活的一部分。
(1)考查时态。句意:在过去的三十年里,互联网发展迅速。根据时间状语the past thirty years可知,句子常用现在完成时。这里的三十年如果看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数;如果侧重每一年的话,谓语动词就用复数。因此这里可以填have seen或has seen。故填have/has seen。
(2)考查非谓语动词。句意:与20世纪80年代相比,现在有更多的计算机连接到互联网上。句中computers和动词connect是被动关系,应使用过去分词表被动,作computers的定语。故填connected。
(3)考查定语从句。句意:一些悲观的专家有很多担忧,其中之一就是网络犯罪。分析句子结构可知,逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,先行词为worries,指物,从句缺主语,因此关系代词使用which。故填which。
(4)考查代词。句意:在未来,恐怖分子可能会攻击世界上的计算机,从而给我们人类带来混乱。cause sth to sb固定短语,“给某人带来”,to是介词,后接人称代词的宾格。故填us。
(5)考查冠词。句意:另一方面,许多人对互联网的未来充满乐观。on the other hand固定短语,“从另一方面来说”,用于引出相对照的另一点。故填the。
(6)考查名词。句意:我们将从网络上获得娱乐,电视很可能会消失。have是动词,名词在其后作宾语。entertain是动词,它的名词是entertainment。故填entertainment。
(7)考查时态。句意:我们将从网络上获得娱乐,电视很可能会消失。前文提到:人们可以在网上购物和娱乐。因此持有这种观点的人认为电视可能会“消失”。will后接动词disappear。故填disappear。
(8)考查介词。句意:一些专家说,虚拟现实使我们感觉自己处于一个真实的环境中。in a real situation“在真实的情况下”。故填in。
(9)考查副词。句意:我个人认为,我们将在虚拟办公室工作,在虚拟超市购物,甚至在虚拟学校学习。personally是副词,意为“就我个人来说”,相当于in my personal opinion,用于表示个人的意见,通常位于句首修饰句子。故填Personally。
(10)考查连词。句意:我个人认为,我们将在虚拟办公室工作,在虚拟超市购物,甚至在虚拟学校学习。此处we will work in virtual offices ,(we will) shop in virtual supermarkets 和 we will even study in virtual school是并列关系。故填and。
【点评】本题考点涉及时态,非谓语动词,定语从句,代词,冠词,名词,介词,副词以及连词等多个知识点的考查,是一篇社会类阅读,要求考生在理解细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,并结合相关语法知识,进行分析推理,从而写出正确的单词形式。
V
【答案】 E;B;G;F;A

Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.“为了更好的理解未来,我们必须知道过去。”符合语境,故选E。
(2)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后的“No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next 150 years.” 可知,这里意思是在接下来的150年,这些会改变吗?故选B。
(3)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空前的“Predicting the future is important for two reasons: First we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation. ” 可知,空格后应该是另一个原因,G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.“然后我们需要知道今天什么样的决定,会给未来带来最好的结果”符合语境,故选G。
(4)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后的“So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real. ”可知,然而不管这种经历有多么的真实,它都没有真实的发生,故选F。
(5)考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据空后的“What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition (过渡) from . . . and new inventions that make life a little easier. ”可知A. So what will the future look like then “那时候,未来看起来是什么样的?。”符合语境,故选A。
