2021年中考英语热点阅读04 无人机及其技术应用

一、阅读理解

Small drones

（无人机）

can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has

been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project

is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half

plane and half helicopter

（直升机）

and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to

customers’ doors.

The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats

to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered

（盘旋）

, and released the package with a wire.

Delivery is here!

The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down.

You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you

package.

Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move

things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google

drones will be the next big step in the series.

Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed

（武装）

drones since

2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot

videos from the sky.

Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google

has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery

service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.

1. Paragraph 2 of the reading is mainly about ______.

Dubai

（迪拜）

is a good place to travel to. There, you can find many tall buildings, taste lots

of delicious food and experience some interesting things. Have you ever been to this city? If you

go there, you may see a special kind of "taxi". It is a drone

（无人机）

. It flies in the sky by itself!

Dubai started to use Chinese-made drones as a self-flying air taxi in July, 2017.

The drone taxi is named EHang 184. A Chinese company in Guangzhou made it. And it had

been tested in the US in 2016. "It will be the world's first passenger drone." according to Yahoo

News. The drone taxi can fly up to 3,500 meters high. It can fly at a top speed of 160 kilometers

an hour. It can only take one person. EHang 184's battery

（电池）

can only keep about 30 minutes.

So it cannot take you further than 50 kilometers.

How do you call an Ehang 184? You use its app on your phone. When the drone comes, you

choose the place you want to go to on a touch screen. There is no pilot in the drone. But some

people on the ground will be watching it. They will make sure your trip is safe. You don't have to

worry about it.

Would you like to take a trip in this flying drone? Don't wait. Let's go!

5. Where may we find this article?

A. In a textbook. B. In a guide book. C. In a story book.

6. EHang 184 was made by a

C. Its battery can keep around half an hour.

8. You can fly to a place which is not more than ___________away by EHang 184.

A. 160 kilometers B. 50 kilometers C. 3,500 meters

9. What's the best title

（标题）

of the passage?

A. ADrone Company

Drones

（无人机）

can do a lot of things for us, taking photos, delivering things from

B. A Drone Taxi C. A Special Trip

packages to pizzas to beer and following wild animals. But they have other uses now.

Can you believe it? Drones can serve people coffee. US company IBM has made this kind of

drone. It can deliver coffee to sleepy people. The drone can know when to bring a cup of coffee by

studying a person's data. Then, the drone will fly to the person. There is a special device

（设备）

under the drone. It helps the drone to give people coffee. The drone can also learn about someone's

coffee—drinking habits and predict when someone needs their next cup of coffee.

Drones can also save lives. One company in Africa use drones to deliver medicine and blood

fast and save many people's lives. The drones are able to fly at speeds of up to 60 mph and when

they are within a minute of the destination

（目的地）

,the doctors receive a text and wait nearby.

The drones drops off the package and then returns to its home.

A 92—year—old hunter in Virginia was lost and had to spend a night in the woods .The

police searched for him all night but failed to find him. Luckily, the drone tracked him down in 20

minutes .Also,drones helped the firefighters know about the fire in the wildfire fight.

14. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. drones have many uses

C. drones can find the lost

The American company Otherlab has built a new drone (

无人机

) which the company calls

B. drones can save lives

D. drones can give people coffee

“Sky Machine”.

Compared with other unmanned aircraft (

无人机

), the drone is very different. It is made

almost completely out of cardboard. It can be packed with materials and sealed (

密封

) up with

tape.

The drone looks like a big paper airplane that we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is

not a toy, it was designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be launched at

once and then they are guided to where they are supposed to go to complete deliveries (

递送

) to

different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers.

The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour.

Now it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future ones are expected to carry

heavier loads (

负荷

One of the drone’s main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery.

This provides more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and work.

The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target,

according to Otherlab. And once the drone completes its delivery, ▲ and the cardboard

material will decompose (

分解

) within a few months.

Otherlab says the drones can also be reused. Otherlab has received money from the U.S.

Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The U.S. military has a need for

delivery drones. But the delivery drones they usually use can be stolen and studied by others if

found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside the drones must

also somehow disappear. Otherlab’s Sky Machine is an attempt to fill that need. Researchers are

still working on ways to get the technology itself to selfdestruct (

自毁

15. What makes the new drone very different from other unmanned airplanes?

A. It will drop things while flying.

B. It can be played as a toy.

C. Its main material is cardboard.

D. It was made by Otherlab.

16. Having no heavy motor or large battery can _______.

A. make the drone fly faster

B. make it difficult for the drone to land

C. make the drone cost more to build

D. provide more space for carrying materials

17. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A. it can be thrown away

B. it will go to the next place

C. it can fly back where it lands

D. it will land within 10 meters of its target

18. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A. the U.S. military is using Otherlab’s Sky Machines

B. the delivery drones the U.S. military uses are always stolen

C. the U.S. Department of Defense supports Otherlab’s research

D. the electronic materials inside a military drone can disappear easily

In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a

drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be

busy pollinating (

传授花粉

) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very

reason fur its existence (

存在

The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many

people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects,

especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will

be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees.

Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot

bees instead.

Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has

put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold

grains of pollen(

花粉

) until they brush up against something else.

At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it

can’t see where its target (

目标

) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (

视觉

识别

) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.

19. In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.

A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software

20. Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.

A. we may be short of food

B. natural bees may not produce honey

C. his robot bee can’t see

D. natural drones can’t pollinate plants

21. Ejiro Miyako’s invention is used to ________.

A. produce honey

C. pollinate plants

B. watch natural bees work

D. increase the number of natural bees

22. Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?

A. Pollen.

C. Brush hair.

B. Drones and their sisters.

D. Visual recognition software.

23. According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?

A. Produce more robot bees.

B. Fill his garden with robot bees.

C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.

D. Make his robot bees work independently.

标题归纳题

根据文章第一段

“Drones can do a lot of things for us, taking photos, delivering

things from packages to pizzas to beer and following wild animals. But they have other uses now”

无人机可以为我们做很多事情

拍照、从包裹到比萨饼到啤酒的快递服务

以及跟踪野生动物

但它们现在还有其他用途

可知本文主要讲述了无人机所具备的各种功能

.BCD

选项描述的

都只是无人机功能的其中一个

故选

The American company Otherlab has built a new drone (

无人机

) which the company calls

“Sky Machine”.

Compared with other unmanned aircraft (

无人机

), the drone is very different. It is made

almost completely out of cardboard. It can be packed with materials and sealed (

密封

) up with

tape.

The drone looks like a big paper airplane that we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is

not a toy, it was designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be launched at

once and then they are guided to where they are supposed to go to complete deliveries (

递送

) to

different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers.

The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour.

Now it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future ones are expected to carry

heavier loads (

负荷

One of the drone’s main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery.

This provides more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and work.

The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target,

according to Otherlab. And once the drone completes its delivery, ▲ and the cardboard

material will decompose (

分解

) within a few months.

Otherlab says the drones can also be reused. Otherlab has received money from the U.S.

Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The U.S. military has a need for

delivery drones. But the delivery drones they usually use can be stolen and studied by others if

found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside the drones must

also somehow disappear. Otherlab’s Sky Machine is an attempt to fill that need. Researchers are

still working on ways to get the technology itself to selfdestruct (

自毁

15. What makes the new drone very different from other unmanned airplanes?

A. It will drop things while flying.

B. It can be played as a toy.

C. Its main material is cardboard.

D. It was made by Otherlab.

16. Having no heavy motor or large battery can _______.

A. make the drone fly faster

B. make it difficult for the drone to land

C. make the drone cost more to build

D. provide more space for carrying materials

17. Which of the following can be put in ?

A. it can be thrown away

B. it will go to the next place

C. it can fly back where it lands

D. it will land within 10 meters of its target

18. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A. the U.S. military is using Otherlab’s Sky Machines

B. the delivery drones the U.S. military uses are always stolen

C. the U.S. Department of Defense supports Otherlab’s research

D. the electronic materials inside a military drone can disappear easily

对无人机的研究，答案为

In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a

drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be

busy pollinating (

传授花粉

) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very

reason fur its existence (

存在

The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many

people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects,

especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will

be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees.

Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot

bees instead.

Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has

put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold

grains of pollen(

花粉

) until they brush up against something else.

At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it

can’t see where its target (

目标

) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (

视觉

识别

) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.

19. In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.

A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software

20. Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.

A. we may be short of food

B. natural bees may not produce honey

C. his robot bee can’t see

D. natural drones can’t pollinate plants

21. Ejiro Miyako’s invention is used to ________.

A. produce honey

C. pollinate plants

B. watch natural bees work

D. increase the number of natural bees

22. Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?

A. Pollen.

C. Brush hair.

B. Drones and their sisters.

D. Visual recognition software.

23. According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?

A. Produce more robot bees.

B. Fill his garden with robot bees.

C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.

D. Make his robot bees work independently.

2021年中考英语热点阅读04 无人机及其技术应用

一、阅读理解

Small drones

（无人机）

can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has

been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project

is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half

plane and half helicopter

（直升机）

and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to

customers’ doors.

The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats

to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered

（盘旋）

, and released the package with a wire.

Delivery is here!

The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down.

You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you

package.

Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move

things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google

drones will be the next big step in the series.

Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed

（武装）

drones since

2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot

videos from the sky.

Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google

has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery

service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.

been tested in the US in 2016. "It will be the world's first passenger drone." according to Yahoo

News. The drone taxi can fly up to 3,500 meters high. It can fly at a top speed of 160 kilometers

an hour. It can only take one person. EHang 184's battery

（电池）

can only keep about 30 minutes.

So it cannot take you further than 50 kilometers.

How do you call an Ehang 184? You use its app on your phone. When the drone comes, you

choose the place you want to go to on a touch screen. There is no pilot in the drone. But some

people on the ground will be watching it. They will make sure your trip is safe. You don't have to

worry about it.

A. drones have many uses

C. drones can find the lost

The American company Otherlab has built a new drone (

无人机

) which the company calls

B. drones can save lives

D. drones can give people coffee

“Sky Machine”.

Compared with other unmanned aircraft (

无人机

), the drone is very different. It is made

almost completely out of cardboard. It can be packed with materials and sealed (

密封

) up with

tape.

The drone looks like a big paper airplane that we used to make as kids. But this light flyer is

not a toy, it was designed to be dropped from airplanes. Hundreds of drones could be launched at

once and then they are guided to where they are supposed to go to complete deliveries (

递送

) to

different places over an area covering hundreds of kilometers.

The company says it can travel about 150 kilometers at speeds up to 88 kilometers an hour.

Now it can carry materials weighing up to one kilogram, but future ones are expected to carry

heavier loads (

负荷

One of the drone’s main advantages is that it does not have a heavy motor or large battery.

This provides more room for materials and makes the drone cost less to build and work.

The technology that guides the drone can make it land within 10 meters of its target,

according to Otherlab. And once the drone completes its delivery, ▲ and the cardboard

material will decompose (

分解

) within a few months.

Otherlab says the drones can also be reused. Otherlab has received money from the U.S.

Department of Defense to carry out research on the drones. The U.S. military has a need for

delivery drones. But the delivery drones they usually use can be stolen and studied by others if

found after use. Before they can truly disappear, the electronic materials inside the drones must

also somehow disappear. Otherlab’s Sky Machine is an attempt to fill that need. Researchers are

still working on ways to get the technology itself to selfdestruct (

自毁

15. What makes the new drone very different from other unmanned airplanes?

A. It will drop things while flying.

B. It can be played as a toy.

C. Its main material is cardboard.

D. It was made by Otherlab.

16. Having no heavy motor or large battery can _______.

A. make the drone fly faster

B. make it difficult for the drone to land

C. make the drone cost more to build

D. provide more space for carrying materials

17. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A. it can be thrown away

B. it will go to the next place

C. it can fly back where it lands

D. it will land within 10 meters of its target

18. From the last paragraph, we can learn that _______.

A. the U.S. military is using Otherlab’s Sky Machines

B. the delivery drones the U.S. military uses are always stolen

C. the U.S. Department of Defense supports Otherlab’s research

D. the electronic materials inside a military drone can disappear easily

In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a

drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be

busy pollinating (

传授花粉

) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very

reason fur its existence (

存在

The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many

people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects,

especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will

be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees.

Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot

bees instead.

Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has

put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold

grains of pollen(

花粉

) until they brush up against something else.

At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it

can’t see where its target (

目标

) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (

视觉

识别

) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.

19. In the first paragraph, the underlined “drone” refers to a kind of ________.

A. flower B. bee C. honey D. software

20. Ejiro Miyako is worried that ________ in the future.

A. we may be short of food

B. natural bees may not produce honey

C. his robot bee can’t see

D. natural drones can’t pollinate plants

21. Ejiro Miyako’s invention is used to ________.

A. produce honey

C. pollinate plants

B. watch natural bees work

D. increase the number of natural bees

22. Which of the following is a must for Ejiro Miyako’s invention?

A. Pollen.

C. Brush hair.

B. Drones and their sisters.

D. Visual recognition software.

23. According to the article, what will Ejiro Miyako do in the next step?

A. Produce more robot bees.

B. Fill his garden with robot bees.

C. Allow robots to pick up pollen.

D. Make his robot bees work independently.

一、阅读理解

Small drones

（无人机）

can help carry packages to your home. For two years, Google has

been working hard in their secret research lab. They have made great progress. Their latest project

is called Project Wing. Project Wing is Google’s invention of a drone delivery service. It is half

plane and half helicopter

（直升机）

and is slightly bigger than a seagull. It can deliver packages to

customers’ doors.

The first drone test was made on a farm in Warwick, Australia. It sent sweets and dog treats

to a farmer. The drone flew to the farm, hovered

（盘旋）

, and released the package with a wire.

Delivery is here!

The best thing about drone delivery services is that delivery times will be greatly cut down.

You’ll be able to order online in the morning. And by noon, the delivery drone will deliver you

package.

Throughout history, there have been a series of inventions that have helped people move

things around, said Astro Teller, lead scientist of Google Wing, to CNN. Teller thinks Google

drones will be the next big step in the series.

Interestingly, drones are not that young. The USA has been using armed

（武装）

drones since

2002. But drones may also get another use. Film companies have asked to use drones to shoot

videos from the sky.

Google’s delivery drones won’t be able to fly to customers any time soon. However, Google

has proved that drone delivery is possible. And with Amazon announcing their drone delivery

service last year, the heat is on to make safe and suitable drones to fly the skies for customers.

In one way, it is the “greatest” drone ever. In another, though, it is the opposite of what a

drone should be. Drone should be very lazy. They don’t have to work. Only their sister should be

) and producing honey. However, for this drone, pollination is the very

reason fur its existence (

存在

The drone, in fact is an invention of Ejiro Miyako. Miyako is a scientist from Japan. Many

people, including Miyako have been worried about the future of food industry. Pollinating insects,

especially bees, are falling in number. As a result, some plants can’t get pollinated and there will

be fewer plants for us to eat. Scientists have been working hard to increase the number of bees.

Unfortunately, they have had little success. Perhaps, Miyako thinks, it is time to build some robot

bees instead.

Miyako’s bee, in fact, does not look much like a bee. It is based on a quad-copter. Miyako has

put some brush hair on it. The hair is covered in special glue. They are able to pick up and hold

grains of pollen(

花粉

) until they brush up against something else.

At the moment, Miyako’s robot bee still needs help from human operators. That’s because it

can’t see where its target (

目标

) are. In the next step, Miyako will install visual recognition (

视觉

识别

) software on his bee. After that, the robot bee will be able to see by itself.
