A driverless train took its first trip around Hamburg, Germany in 2021 and may greatly improve transportation in the city. Acknowledged as the world’s first, the train created by Siemens Mobility and Deutsche Bahn (DB) officially went into service in December.
This is part of a large modernization project for the city’s S-Bahn urban rail. There were no changes to the tracks, as the autonomous(自动的) trains run on the same network as the current trains that have drivers operating them.
“The railroad has arrived in the digital future and Digital Rail Germany may become a reality. With automated rail operations, we can offer our passengers a significantly expanded and improved service,” said Dr. Richard Lutz, CEO of DB. “The new trains can transport up to 30 percent more passengers and operate on time, and they will be more energy-efficient. They are also encouraged for environmental protection reasons.”
The trains receive signals via radios. There will be drivers present when there are passengers on board but they will only supervise(监督) the run and the passengers. There are now plans to digitize Hamburg’s S-Bahn system entirely by the end of the decade and the government has already decided to put money into new trains and infrastructure (基础设施) improvements.
Autonomous transportation technology is being used in taxis by Waymo, which started as the Google self-driving project in 2009. Other companies that are working on driverless cars include Tesla,GM, Nissan, and Zoox. These cars have to find their ways on roads with the help of GPS technology but driving on a track is much simpler and safer. “The new technology has already been officially approved and, since it features open interfaces (接口), it can immediately be used by operators worldwide for all types of trains,” said Dr. Roland Busch, CEO of Siemens. Maybe it’s time for the new autonomous revolution.
8. What’s special about the new trains created by Siemens Mobility and DB
A. They make long-distance trips much safer.
B. They use new driverless track systems.
C They share tracks with traditional ones.
D. They still require human drivers’ operation.
9. What does Dr. Richard Lutz mainly want to express in Paragraph 3
A. The new trains greatly change the German lifestyle.
B. The digital railroad is spoken highly of by passengers.
C. The new trains benefit both people and the environment.
D The digital railroad has promoted the development of tourism.
10. What’s the government’s attitude to the development of the new digital technology
A. Worried. B. Favorable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
11. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A. The digital technology has a big potential market.
B. Germany’s design of trains needs to be further improved.
C. American companies see an increasing demand for self-driving taxis.
D. Operators have responsibility for ensuring fully autonomous driving.
D
Working in a factory can mean doing the same task over and over, and that repetition can lead to injuries. Now, a battery-powered glove could help people by taking some of the force. The Ironhand glove strengthens the wearer’s grip (紧握), meaning it can increase the wearer’s hand strength by 20%. The Swedish company Bioservo Technologies describes the system as a “soft exoskeleton”, which supports and protects the body.
The system includes a backpack, which houses the power pack, and artificial tendons (肌腱) that connect to the glove. There are sensors (传感器) on each fingertip that turn on the motor when a user holds onto an object. A mobile control app can be used to change the strength of the grip. The device also collects data that allows the company to find out the wearer’s risk of developing strain injuries.
According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, work-related neck and upper limb disorders are pretty common in Europe. Mikael Wester, Bioservo’s marketing director, says applications include work on the production line in factories, and the use for lifting heavy objects in warehouses. The device is all in order to reduce tiredness and prevent injuries in the long run.
The glove was originally intended for people in a very different setting. NASA developed an early version of the technology, called“Robo-Glove”, to help astronauts hold objects and carry out work in space. Bioservo licensed the design in 2016 and then partnered with General Motors (GM) to develop the glove for its workers.
GM has helped Bioservo to test and improve the Ironhand by using it in a variety of jobs at its factories. Some workers have found it easy to use but add that it’s not suitable for all situations. And according to market research firm ABI Research, the exoskeleton market will grow from $392 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion in2030. It is an exciting technology.
12. Who may find the Ironhand glove most useful
A. A painter. B. A doctor. C. A skater. D. A deliveryman.
13. What is mentioned about the sensors of the system
A. They start a motor to add grip strength.
B. They operate based on users’ body weight.
C. They rely on artificial tendons to control an app.
D. They adapt to the working environment quickly.
14. Why is the device important to people according to Mikael Wester
A. It helps them save time. B. It benefits their health.
C. It requires few operators. D. It develops their balance skills.
15. What’s the function of Paragraph 4
A. To add some background information.
B To summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
D. To point out the limitations of the Ironhand.

Working in a factory can mean doing the same task over and over, and that repetition can lead to injuries. Now, a battery-powered glove could help people by taking some of the force. The Ironhand glove strengthens the wearer’s grip (紧握), meaning it can increase the wearer’s hand strength by 20%. The Swedish company Bioservo Technologies describes the system as a “soft exoskeleton”, which supports and protects the body.
The system includes a backpack, which houses the power pack, and artificial tendons (肌腱) that connect to the glove. There are sensors (传感器) on each fingertip that turn on the motor when a user holds onto an object. A mobile control app can be used to change the strength of the grip. The device also collects data that allows the company to find out the wearer’s risk of developing strain injuries.
According to the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work, work-related neck and upper limb disorders are pretty common in Europe. Mikael Wester, Bioservo’s marketing director, says applications include work on the production line in factories, and the use for lifting heavy objects in warehouses. The device is all in order to reduce tiredness and prevent injuries in the long run.
The glove was originally intended for people in a very different setting. NASA developed an early version of the technology, called“Robo-Glove”, to help astronauts hold objects and carry out work in space. Bioservo licensed the design in 2016 and then partnered with General Motors (GM) to develop the glove for its workers.
GM has helped Bioservo to test and improve the Ironhand by using it in a variety of jobs at its factories. Some workers have found it easy to use but add that it’s not suitable for all situations. And according to market research firm ABI Research, the exoskeleton market will grow from $392 million in 2020 to $6.8 billion in2030. It is an exciting technology.
12. Who may find the Ironhand glove most useful
A. A painter. B. A doctor. C. A skater. D. A deliveryman.
13. What is mentioned about the sensors of the system
A. They start a motor to add grip strength.
B. They operate based on users’ body weight.
C. They rely on artificial tendons to control an app.
D. They adapt to the working environment quickly.
14. Why is the device important to people according to Mikael Wester
A. It helps them save time. B. It benefits their health.
C It requires few operators. D. It develops their balance skills.
15. What’s the function of Paragraph 4
A. To add some background information.
B. To summarize the previous paragraphs.
C. To introduce a new topic for discussion.
D. To point out the limitations of the Ironhand.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种手套可以帮助工人增加手臂力量,防止他们受伤。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“Now, a battery-powered glove could help people by taking some of the force. The Ironhand glove strengthens the wearer’s grip (紧握), meaning it can increase the wearer’s hand strength by 20%. (现在,一种电池供电的手套可以帮助人们减轻一些压力。“铁手”手套可以增强佩戴者的握力,这意味着它可以使佩戴者的手部力量增加20%。)”可知,该手套可以增强佩戴者的握力,帮助人们减轻一些压力,由此推断该手套适用于“搬运工”职业的人。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“ There are sensors (传感器) on each fingertip that turn on the motor when a user holds onto an object. A mobile control app can be used to change the strength of the grip.(每个指尖上都有传感器,当用户抓住一个物体时,传感器就会启动电机。一个移动控制应用程序可以用来改变握把的力度。)”可知,手套的每个指尖上都有传感器,传感器通过启动电机来改变握把的力度,即他们启动一个电机来增加抓地力。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The device is all in order to reduce tiredness and prevent injuries in the long run.(这个装置是为了减少疲劳,防止长期受伤。)”可知,根据Mikael Wester关于该手套的描述可知,该手套上的装置可以减少疲劳,并且防止长期受伤即有助于使用者的健康。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The glove was originally intended for people in a very different setting.(这种手套最初是为生活在不同环境中的人设计的。)”以及“ NASA developed an early version of the technology, called“Robo-Glove”, to help astronauts hold objects and carry out work in space. Bioservo licensed the design in 2016 and then partnered with General Motors (GM) to develop the glove for its workers.(美国国家航空航天局开发了这项技术的早期版本,称为“机器人手套”,以帮助宇航员在太空中握住物体并进行工作。Bioservo于2016年获得设计许可,然后与通用汽车(General Motors)合作,为其工人开发手套。)”可知,本段通过列举美国国家航空航天局开发的“机器人手套”和Bioservo于2016年获得设计许可,然后与通用汽车合作,为其工人开发手套为例,讲述的是这种手套之前的用途,这为文章增加了一些背景知识。故选A。

69. 菠萝里既无松树亦无苹果。(汉译英)
【答案】Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,主谓一致和倒装。“在菠萝里”译为in pineapple,“既无……也无……”是固定搭配neither...nor...,句子用存在句,“松树”是pine,“苹果”是apple,用单数表类别,句子描述客观事实,时态用一般现在时,因此存在句用there is,neither表否定,位于句首时引起部分倒装,倒装为is there,因此整句话翻译为“Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple”。故答案为Neither is there pine nor apple in pineapple.
70. 你有没有问过自己为什么人们在学习英语时会遇到困难?(汉译英)
______________________________________________________________
