(2024 南京中考)In a little town, there was a clock tower that had stood for centuries. The clock tower was known for its perfect timekeeping, and was looked after by Mr Pendulum, the town's timekeeper.
One day, Mr Pendulum decided to take on an apprentice. He chose a young boy named Oliver who had always been attracted by the clock tower. Oliver was excited but also nervous, knowing that keeping time was a responsibility of great importance. Mr Pendulum taught Oliver everything he knew about the clock.
As Oliver worked alongside Mr Pendulum, he learned that time was not just about numbers and minutes—it was about moments and memories. The clock tower had a special characteristic: It could show little bits of the past and future. Mr Pendulum showed Oliver how to use this characteristic to help people in need.
One day, a young woman named Emily came to the clock tower for help. She was feeling lost and uncertain of her future. Mr Pendulum and Oliver let her see a piece of her past, where she had faced challenges but had also experienced moments of joy and growth. They then showed her a possible future, where she could achieve her dreams and find happiness. Emily was moved by the experience and left the clock tower with renewed hope. Oliver realized that the true power of the clock tower was not in keeping time, but in helping people find their way. He also learned that time was not something to be controlled, but something to be treasured.
Years later, Oliver became a smart timekeeper, using the clock tower's magic to guide people through difficult times. He taught others that time was a gift, and that every moment was a chance to create a better future.
1. What was the clock tower known for?
A. Its attractive colour.

C. Its perfect timekeeping.
D. Its smart timekeeper.
2. How did Mr Pendulum and Oliver help Emily?
A. They sent her a special gift.
B. They showed moments of her life.
C. They offered her a job as a timekeeper.
D. They invited people in the town to encourage her.
3. Which words can best describe Oliver?
A. Responsible and wise.
B. Brave and curious.
C. Careful and creative.
D. Kind and confident.

【分析】
这是一篇科技类说明文，解题时需结合上下文语境和词汇、固定短语的积累来逐个推断：
1. 第一空：根据前文提到公司之前有机器人，后文“made a new human-like robot”可知是改进了设计，首字母i，结合现在完成时的结构，确定填improved；
2. 第二空：后文讲过去人形机器人的问题，“in the past”是固定短语，表“在过去”，符合语境；
3. 第三空：描述人类走路的动作，把另一条腿向前移动，首字母m，move符合动作描述；
4. 第四空：前文说机器人在粗糙地面走路困难，所以容易摔倒，“fall over”是固定短语，情态动词can后用原形fall；
5. 第五空：前文讲过去的问题，后文讲新机器人解决了问题，是转折关系，首字母H，用However；
6. 第六空：传感器能360度感知周围，“manage to do sth.”表示设法做成某事，主语是复数sensors，一般现在时用manage；
7. 第七空：前文讲了传感器和相机，后文补充关节的马达，首字母A，用Additionally表“此外”；
8. 第八空：不同类型的地面，“different types of”是固定表达，type用复数types；
9. 第九空：AI学习人类走路视频，所以用和人类同样的方式移动，“in the same way”符合语境；
10. 第十空：后文提到速度数值，“at the speed of”是固定短语，表“以……的速度”，填speed。
【解析】
1. improved：根据语境“公司现在________了设计，制造出新型机器人”，结合首字母i，且句子是现在完成时（has+过去分词），可知填improve的过去分词improved，表示“改进”；
2. past：固定短语“in the past”意为“在过去”，用于描述过去的情况，符合后文对早期人形机器人的介绍；
3. move：根据前文人类走路的动作描述，“quickly ______ the other leg forward”表示快速移动另一条腿，首字母m，填动词原形move；
4. fall：固定短语“fall over”意为“摔倒”，情态动词can后接动词原形，符合机器人在粗糙地面易摔倒的语境；
5. However：前文讲过去人形机器人的缺陷，后文讲新机器人解决了问题，表转折关系，首字母H，填However（句首大写）；
6. manage：“manage to do sth.”是固定搭配，意为“设法做成某事”，主语sensors是复数，一般现在时用动词原形manage，符合传感器实现360度感知的语境；
7. Additionally：前文介绍了传感器和相机，后文补充关节马达的作用，表递进补充，首字母A，填Additionally；
8. types：“different types of”意为“不同类型的”，type是可数名词，此处用复数types，符合“不同地面类型”的语境；
9. same：“in the same way”意为“以同样的方式”，结合AI学习人类走路视频的语境，可知机器人以和人类相同的方式移动，填same；
10. speed：固定短语“at the speed of”意为“以……的速度”，后文给出具体速度数值，填speed。
【答案】
1. improved 2. past 3. move 4. fall
5. However 6. manage 7. Additionally
8. types 9. same 10. speed
【知识点】
1. 固定短语搭配
