Best Trucks for 2022 and 2023

2022 Rivian R1T

The 2022 Rivian R1T charges onto the market as the first mainstream electric pickup, and it makes a strong impression. The R1T is equal parts workhorse and adventure vehicle, though its electrified (通电的) powertrain needs to be further enhanced. Still, it’s the first of many electric pickups to come.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning

The electrification of America’s best-selling pickup truck is a tall order, but it’s a job that the Ford F-150 Lightning has pulled of T wonderfully. The Lightning is powerful, efficient and capable. Apart from range limitations when towing (拖车), the F-150 Lightning is every bit the workhorse that full-size pickup truck buyers have come to expect.

2022 Jeep Gladiato

The 2022 Jeep Gladiator is an honest-to-goodness pick truck. It’s skilled at towing and pulling, it’s exceptionally capable off road, and its inner part is roomy and built to last. The trade- off is that the Gladiator isn’t as comfortable, quiet or well-equipped as others.

2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup

The all-new 2023 GMC Hummer EV is designed to offer truck buyers a chance to replace their gas-powered pickups with battery-powered ones, and it’s a role that the Hummer EV should perform convincingly. It rides, handles, and speeds up better than just about any traditional full-size pickup on the market. However, that capability doesn’t come cheap, but overall, the new Hummer gets a lot of public attention in the small but growing electric truck market.

1．Which of the following may perform best in the wild?

A．2022 Rivian R1T.

B．2022 Ford F-150 Lightning.

C．2022 Jeep Gladiator.

D．2023 GMC Hummer EV Pickup.

2．What might the Hummer EV impress buyers most?

B．Its traditional role.

C．Its future market.

D．Its driving experience.

3．What do the four kinds of trucks have in common?

B．They are expensive.

C．They have large inner space.

D．They have disadvantages.

高考英语应用文阅读的常见的考查题型有：细节理解题、推理判断题、猜测词义题等。高考英语应用文主要考查学生提取信息和处理信息的能力：既考查对特定细节的选取、排除、类比、综合，又注重考查推理判断的能力，题目设置相对容易。针对这些题型，有着相应的解题策略帮助考生更好地答题。

1.题干定位法

题干定位法属于“查读法”的一种。应用文阅读材料包含的某一方面的信息非常全面，能满足各种人对信息的需求。但在高考试题中，它通常是就某一点提问，因此，以细节理解为主，考生完全没必要从头到尾仔细阅读。在做此类题时，宣采用“题干定位法”，即，先阅读题干，然后根据问题的要求，按照题目顺序依次有针对性地结合题干中的关键词到文中定位，阅读相关部分并快速寻找有效信息，再将原文和选项进行比较，当问题与原文材料相同的时候，对号入座；如果问题与原文不同，则可以同义替换、归纳事实等。

2.信息再加工法

此方法主要用于词义或句意推测题，以及涉及数字转换的判断推理题。此类题目需要考生对原文相关信息作正确理解，并通过推理判断或是计算，对信息进行再加工。这个理解可能牵涉到对某一句话或某些句子的理解，考生在理解其意义时，一定要捕捉到关键性的词。

在高考题目的设计中，有时不仅要求考生能从阅读材料中直接获取信息，而且要将获得的信息进行同义转换，用同义后近义的形式复述出来，为阅读材料中某些词汇、短语及句型等找到正确的英语释义，以检测考生的句义复述能力。

3.排除法

排除法在应用文阅读中使用也比较多。考生可以根据题干中的关键词，找准相关句、段的内容，再仔细对照、排除于文章内容不一致的错误信息，从而确定正确选项。考生要注意根据所提问题采用寻读、跳读的方法，这样往往可以达到事半功倍的效果。

（一）、Robots are known as the future of technology. Robotics technology has just landed in the workplace and there is a lot of work to do. Below we’ll discuss some of the best and most advanced robots ever made by humans.

Asimo    

The primary focus of the robot is to help people. Asimo travels all around the world, making people aware how robots can make life easier and help humans. It can dance, run and even kick a soccer ball. The robot can communicate with people in three different languages including Japanese, Chinese and English.

Created by: Honda (Japan)

Sophia

It is a realistic example of a perfect robot because it has about 50 different facial expressions just like humans. Sophia is primarily designed for education, research and entertainment. It travels throughout the world explaining to people the importance of robots in human life.

Created by: Hanson Robotics (Hong Kong, China)

Atlas

Its body shape is so dynamic that it can use its all body skills to move quickly and balance itself on diverse terrains (地形). The robot is capable of performing many different tasks but some favourite tasks are running, jumping and turnover movements. Its advanced AI systems make it capable of seeing barriers and negotiating through diverse terrains.

Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States)

Spot

Spot is an animal robot, or say a dog robot, because it looks very similar to a dog. Spot can search around your office, home, playground etc. as a normal dog usually does. Spot has some outstanding functions like it can map your environment, sense barriers, lift packages and more.

Created by: Boston Dynamics (United States)

1．Which of the following characterizes Asimo?

A．Its high speed. B．Its facial expressions.

C．Its language ability. D．Its communication skills.

2．Which robot is created by China?

A．Asimo. B．Sophia. C．Atlas. D．Spot.

3．What do Atlas and Spot have in common?

A．They can change their body shapes.

B．They can carry small packages.

C．They can help do some housework.

D．They can detect barriers around.

（二）、Some free things to do in Bangkok to get more bang for your baht (泰铢).

Chatuchak Weekend Market

One of the largest markets in the world, Chatuchak is a simply unforgettable Bangkok experience, even if you don’t plan on buying anything. It’s free to visit and there are more than 15,000 stalls to explore from antiques and souvenirs to used trainers, miniature (微缩模型) food offerings for spirit houses and live frogs.

The full market operates from 9 am to 6 pm on Saturday and Sunday. You’d better arrive by 10 am to beat the crowds and the heat.

Papaya

Technically, many of the objects in this celebrated four-story antique store are for sale, but prices for the owner’s collection of 19th- and 20th-century artifacts are so astronomically high that the collection never seems to exhaust. Instead, many see Papaya as a museum of recent nostalgia (怀旧), and it’s a great place to browse without any pressure to buy.

Bangkok Doll Factory & Museum

This workshop was founded by Thai doll enthusiast Khunying Chandavimol in 1956 after she completed a doll-making course in Japan. Her dolls draw on Thai mythology and various historical periods, and the collection includes some 400 dolls from around the world, plus important pieces from her own workshop, where you can watch the figures being crafted by hand for free.

The museum is tricky to find; take a taxi from BTS Phaya Thai and get the driver to call the museum for directions.

Chinatown

Thick with the scent of traditional herbal medicines, Bangkok’s Chinatown offers a sensory experience that you won’t find anywhere else in the city. The narrow market alleys off Yaowarat Road are crammed with (塞满) bird’s-nest soup restaurants, dangling lanterns, gaudy gold and jade shops, and flashing neon signs in Chinese characters. It is Bangkok’s most crowded neighborhood, where half the fun is in getting completely lost.

4．Which of the following will be your best choice, if you are looking for a 1960s typewriter?

A．Chatuchak or Papaya.

B．Chatuchak or Chinatown.

C．Papaya or Bangkok Doll Factory.

C．Bangkok Doll Factory. D．Chinatown.

6．What do the four places have in common?

B．Visitors can always find delicious food there.

C．You can just window shop as you like.

D．You are able to visit the places anytime.
