If yu're lking t buy a gift fr yur children why nt keep up with the trend and get the best hverbard（悬浮滑板）？
What is a hverbard？
A hverbard is a tw-wheeled persnal transprtatin device. It's electrical，prtable and became highly ppular in 2015 in reference t a ppular 1980s mvie. Typically，this self-balancing device perates like a pwered skatebard.
Hw des a hverbard wrk？
The device may have many designs，but the mechanism itself isn’t cmplicated. Basically，a standard hverbard cntains:
1）Battery：Stres the electrical pwer. Almst all hverbards use a high-watt lithium-in battery.
2）Gyrscpe （ne fr each wheel）：allws riders t tilt（倾斜）the hverbard while maintaining balance and adjusting their directin.
3) Mtr ne in each wheel): prvides the pwer fr the wheels t keep the rider balanced and upright.
4) Lgic bard: functins as the hverbards brain. It prcesses data including yur speed, tilt, etc. and sends infrmatin t the mtrs. This unit cntrls the pwer f the bard s riders can adjust their speed.
All the abve cmpnents wrk tgether t cntrl the pwer and tilt f the hverbards s the rider is balanced, upright and mving at a cntrlled speed.
Why d we buy a hverbard?
Undubtedly, hverbards are cl. Yu’ve prbably seen kids riding ne arund the huse They’re a phenmenn. S, why d yu deny yur kids and prevent them frm being part f this trend?
Where is a hverbard legal?
Despite their wild ppularity, hverbards have yet t becme street-legal. Currently, sme places prhibit anyne under 16 frm using these devices hverbards are banned in academic institutins public places, like campus buildings, parks shpping malls and subway statins. Sme places have als put speed limits n the devices and restricted their use t bike paths. Hwever, pen areas-including yur yard--are free f these restrictins.

◎语篇解读本文介绍了著名科学家斯蒂芬·霍金关于地球在未来面临的各种危险的警告。他警告如果人类不逃离这个脆弱的星球，将无法再活1，000年，并提到至少在未来的百年内，人类都不会在太空建立基地，所以目前人们必须非常小心，来应对各种威胁。
1.A 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句的内容可知科学家霍金预测在地球变成火球之前大约有600年，所以霍金说地球在600年后会变成火球，故选A。
2.D推理判断题。根据第二段第二句的内容可知，在北京举办的腾讯WE大会上，霍金呼吁投资人来支持他前往人马座a星的计划。由此可知霍金需要帮助来完成他的计划。故选D。
3.C词义猜测题。根据第四段中的“We face a lt f intimidatin：nuclear wars，glbal warming and genetically engineered viruses.”可知这些都是我们人类生存面临的重大威胁。故选C项。
4.B主旨大意题。本文第一段就指出了著名科学家霍金对600年后地球的预测，并指出“如果我们不尽快离开地球，人口过剩将增加能源消耗，它将杀死我们所有人”。第二、三段提出了去距离地球较近的其他星球生活的可能性。再根据第
四段第一句可知，霍金警告说：“我认为如果我们不逃离这个脆弱的星球，我们将无法再活1，000年。”第四段还提到了人类要面对的核战争、全球变暖等威胁。纵观全文，最适合的标题为“霍金对地球的警告”，故选B。

语篇解读：本文主要说明了为什么推荐悬浮滑板作为送给孩子的礼物，并具体介绍了它的工作原理和买它的原因以及它适合在什么地方使用。
5.D细节理解题。这道题是问悬浮滑板的逻辑板可以用来干什么？在文章第三部分介绍悬浮滑板是如何工作的第四点中提到，逻辑板是悬浮滑板的大脑，可以处理数据，包括速度、倾斜度，并且向发动机发送信息。A项意为“储存电能”，B项意为“驱动轮子”，C项意为“传递信息给骑车者”，D项意为“接收数据并给出指令”。D项符合文意，故选D项。
6.C细节理解题。这道题是问悬浮滑板可以在哪些地方使用。由最后一段第二句可知，悬浮滑板被禁止在学术机构和公共场所使用，像学校建筑、公园、购物广场和地铁站。因此排除A、B、D项；由最后一段第三句可知，一些地方还将它们的使用限制在自行车道上，即该悬浮滑板可以在自行车道上使用。故选C。
7.B推理判断题。整篇文章都在说明为什么推荐悬浮滑板作为送给孩子的礼物。A项意为“评估一个礼物的质量”，B项意为“推荐一个礼物选择”，C项意为“比较新的悬浮滑板模型”，D项意为“阐述这个最新悬浮滑板的功能”。D项只是文章内容的一个方面，不能概括文章主旨，B项符合题意，故选B。
Ⅱ.七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文，介绍了成功者应该具备的两种素质—自信心和责任感。
1.E 根据本空前一句“Instead，realize that the seeds f success were planted within yu when yu were brn."可知，成功的种子在你出生的时候就被种在你的内心里了，空处承接上文，讲的还是关于种子的内容，故E项（只有你自己有能力让那些种子成长）符合语境。
2.A 根据本空后一句“Yu were als brn rich."可知，你还是个天生的富翁，als提示此句前边即空处应该提到一种天生的情况，故A项（你是个天生的赢家）符合语境。
3.F 根据本空后一句“Yur level f self-cnfidence is always based n the degree f cntrl that yu are able t exercise ver yurself，and thus ver yur life.."可知，你的自信水平建立在你能控制自己的程度上，从而控制你的生活，空格处为本段主题句，应该是关于自信这个话题，故F项（不先培养自信，你就不能成功）符合语境。
4.C 根据本空前一句“Failures think that everything happens by accident and they have n respnsibility fr it."可知，失败者认为任何事的发生都是偶然的，他们对此不负责任。由此推断空格处应该说的是成功者的想法，故C项（但是成功者认为他们是有责任的）符合语境。
5.D 根据本空前一句“Everything happens as a result f smething."可知，任何一件事的发生都是有原因的，空格处承接上文，讲的是关于原因和结果方面的话题，故D项（如果我们认识到原因，我们就能控制结果）符合语境。
