AOne day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfe ct score. I was elected as their arbiter( 仲裁人).I read the examination proble m: “S how how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with th e aid of a barometer(气压计).” The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, a nd then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building. ”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer did n’t confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I ga ve him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read: “Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stop watch. Then, use the physical formula (公式）to calculate the height of the bui lding. ”At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made al most full marks. I couldn’t help asking the student what the other answers wer e. He listed many others, and then added “Probably the best is to take the bar ometer to the administrator and said to him, ' Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.’” Then, I ask ed the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this questi on. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and c ollege instructors trying to teach him how to think. The name of the student wa s Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Phys ics in 1922.21.The student got a zero at the beginning because_______.A. the teacher wasn’t satisfied with himB. his answer wasn't complete or correctC. the teacher didn’t fully understand his answerD. his answer didn’t show his knowledge of physics22.We know from the passage that______A. the student knew the expected answerB. the administrator told Bohr the heightC. the author preferred Bohr’s last answerD. the teac her was a very stubbo rn person23.We can learn from the passage that______.A. instructors can teach students how to thinkB. arbiters can help students to get high scoresC. students should be given more freedom in thinkingD. teachers should make students use physical formulas24. What was Bohr’s attitude toward his schooling?A. Optimistic.B. Critical.C. Approving.D. Positive.BHomestay provides English language students with the opportunity to speak Engl ish outside the classroom and the experience of being part of a British home.What to ExpectThe host will provide accommodation and meals. Rooms will be cleaned and bedcov ers changed at least once a week. You will be given the house key and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physic al and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport sys tem. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is com mercial and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans Available♢ Continental Breakfast♢ Breakfast and Dinner♢ Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt’s important to note that few English families still provide a traditional c ooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normal ly consists of fruit juice, cereal (谷物类食品), bread and tea or coffee. Chees e, fruit and cold meat are not normally part of a Continental Breakfast in Engl and. Dinners usually consist of meat or fish with vegetables followed by desser t, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host’s p ermission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation in Private HomesAccommodation on a room-only basis includes shared kitchen and bathroom facilit ies and often a main living room. This kind of accommodation offers an independ ent lifestyle and is more suitable for the long-stay student. However, it does not provide the same family atmosphere as an ordinary homestay and may not bene fit those who need to practice English at home quite as much.25. The passage is probably written for ______.A. hosts willing to receive foreign studentsB. foreigners hoping to know British cultureC. travelers planning to visit families in LondonD. English learners applying to live in English homes26. Which of the following will the host provide?A. Room cleaning.B. Medical care.C. Free transport.D. Physical training.27. According to the passage, what does Continental Breakfast include?A. Dessert and coffee.B. Fruit and vegetables.C. Bread and fruit juice.D. Cereal and cold meat.28. Why do some people choose self-catering accommodation?A. To experience a warmer family atmosphere.B. To enrich their knowledge of English.C. To entertain friends as they like.D. To enjoy much more freedom.CAre you an optimist? Do you look at your glass and see it as half full? D o you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally tu rn out for the best? Do you believe that if something is meant to be, it will b e? If you reply “yes” to all ofthese questions, then you are an optimist. You probably are enthusiastic, cheer ful and outgoing. You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things don’t turn out for the best. You may b elieve that when one door closes another one opens (for example, you may fail t o obtain a new job; another chance will come around soon). Wrong. When one door closes, another door slams (砰然关上) in your face. That’s bitter reality.Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists (悲观者) have susp ected all along. It’s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its au thor argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results. Defensive pe ssimism is a strategy used to manage fear, anxiety and worry. Defensive pessimi sts prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves. They careful ly consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these prob lems. And this gives them a sense of control. Lawrence Sanno, a psychology prof essor, says, “What’s interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation’s outcome s is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better.”So far, so good. This is not rocket science. Defensive pessimists prepare caref ully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sp orts game. It makes sense to have a back-up plan. There are many sayings in Eng lish urging caution. For example, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” A nd “Don’t count your chickens until they hatch.” To have a confident and opt imistic approach to life’s problems is good. But listen to what Woody Alien, t he American comedian says, “Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem.”There are pros and cons（利与弊）to being an optimist and a pessimist. Don’t feel bad if you see the glass half empty. You are a realist. But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full.29. What’s the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of defensive pessimism.B. A book that has recently been published.C. The dangers of being too optimistic.D. How to become successful in life.30. The underlined sentence “This is not rocket science” (Para. 4) means ____ ______.A. there is no real proofB. it is quite simple to understandC. the cost is not so highD. it’s a dangerous thing to do31. Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist beli eve?A. Whatever will be, will be.B. The glass is half full not half em pty.C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.D. Every cloud has a silver linin g.32. We can infer from the passage that the writer is probably __________.A. a realistB. an optimistC. an authorD. a scien tistDWhy Laughter MattersAlthough most people believe that laughter is one of the nature’s great treatm ents for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious s cientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing,” says Baltimore neuroscientist, R obert Provine, who has studied laughter for decades. “All laughter groups laug h ‘ha-ha-ha’ basically the same way. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or En glish, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator(发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank(恶作剧) on April Fools’ day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someone making a joke. Laughter is mostly about social respons es rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and people on cell phone s laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isn’t dependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not just a people thing. Chimps(黑猩猩) tickle(挠痒) each other and even laugh when another chimp pretends to tickle them.Jaak Panksepp, a Bowling Green University Psychology professor, studies rats th at laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled—they retur n again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, scientists can figure out what’s going on in the brain durin g laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engineering professor, Jeffrey B urgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an ant idepressant(抗抑郁药). He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself has not been proved to be the best medicine, experts s aid. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction(分心) and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter produces a direct health benefit,” Provine said, largely because it’s hard to separate laughter from just feeling good. B ut he thinks it doesn’t really matter: “Isn’t the fact that laughter feels g ood when you do it enough?”33. The most important finding of Robert Provine’s research is that ______.A. laughter makes a person feel goodB. laughter depends on different sensesC. rats like to be tickled very muchD. laughter is a social response shared by all creatures34. What can we learn from the passage?A. Patients will recover if they laugh enough.B. Laughing is one of our means of communication.C. A new medicine has been developed based on the laughter research.D. Scientists have known what is happening in a human brain when he laughs.35. According to the passage, scientists studied rats in order to find ______.A. if they can laughB. if they like laughingC. what laughter in rats producesD. how rats react while being ti ckled第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A number of events across the year transform this library into a living social hub by providing creative writing classes, performance groups and craft sessions. Its key aim is to support women, with services teaching literacy, calculations, and handling a range of issues which include poverty, and surviving violence.Sir Duncan Rice Library, AberdeenThe outside of the modern facility is a huge glass structure made of 760 glass panels and 2.200 tons of steel. Sir Duncan Rice is also conscious of its carbon footprint, designed to collect rainwater which is reused to flush its toilets, harvesting power through solar cells on the roof and using timers to control the use of its fluorescent lighting.Wellcome Reading Room, LondonSpend an afternoon studying in the Reading Room of London’s Wellcome Museum and you may just find yourself immersed in literature. With drawing classes and static artistic displays accompanying rows of educational books, it’s an enjoyable spot to visit and revisit.

The mountain came to represent the opposite of everything that I loved and respected about climbing. What had once been the final mountain climbing goal became the focus of a commercial guiding industry. Over the years, the crowds at Base Camp grew, leaving behind tons of trash. Whenever I was asked whether I’d climb Mt. Qomolangma, my answer was always the same: not interested.That was probably where my personal Mt. Qomolangma story would have ended, were it not for an old friend Thom Pollard and his obsession (迷恋) with one of the greatest mysteries. In 1999, he began to explore and found the remains of George Mallory, the celebrated British climber who disappeared while he was attempting to be the first to climb Mt. Qomolangma. But Mallory’s partner, Sandy Irvine, and the camera he had likely carried, were not found. The mountain climbing world has been wondering whether they might have reached the top in 1924.Pollard’s story moved me. I began to pack for the climb and expected that our advanced equipment would make it manageable, perhaps easy. I was wrong. On the highest point on the planet, I was more tired than I’d ever been in any climbing. Along the way, I continuously tipped my hat, not just to Mallory and Irvine but to anyone who has the drive to push himself or herself up this route. My search was in vain, but I began to reconsider Mt. Qomolangma.I witnessed many climbers, who were much more than just self-centered tourists. We shared route information, weather forecasts, and family photos—all united around a common goal.I went to Mt. Qomolangma to seek Irvine. But in the end, I found something more difficult to get: the spirit that Irvine and Mallory shared. It was hiding in plain sight, right where it has always been: inside the brave souls who risk so much to follow in storied adventurers’ footsteps up Mt. Qomolangma.4．Why did the author once hate climbing Mt. Qomolangma?A．Because the mountain was overcrowded.B．Because his original climbing goal changed.C．Because climbing it became a profit-driven industry.D．Because he had to brave the elements on the mountain.5．What motivated the author to climb Mt. Qomolangma later?A．The influence of Thom Pollard.B．The results of the previous climbing.C．The development of advanced equipment.D．The spirit of George Mallory and Sandy Irvine.6．What does the underlined phrase “tipped my hat” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Relieved my tiredness.B．Showed my respect.C．Expressed my gratitude.D．Proved my determination.7．What message does the passage mainly convey?A．The search for missing adventurers holds great value.B．Modern climbing lacks respect for the natural environment.C．Spirits of the climbers of Mt. Qomolangma are worth respect.D．Experienced climbers are qualified to conquer Mt. Qomolangma.A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声) followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then youhave the higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’ sound.”Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10 times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a Bryde’s whale.”After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental factors and thus support protection efforts.”The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations. But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”8．Why is it difficult to identify the source of biotwang?A．Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.B．Because enough time and a right moment are a must.C．Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.D．Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency9．What is paragraph 5 mainly about?A．Who solved the biotwang mystery.B．When the Bryde’s whale usually appeared.C．How the source of biotwang was determined.D．Why the Bryde’s whale was difficult to observe.10．What is Harrell’s attitude toward their team’s discovery?A．Ambiguous.B．Objective.C．Unconcerned.D．Disapproving. 11．What can be the suitable title for the passage?A．Mystery of Biotwang Finally SolvedB．AI Algorithms Applied in Biotwang ResearchC．Singer of the Deep Ocean — Bryde’s WhaleD．Protection of the Deep Ocean — A Long Way to Go“It won’t forgive your mistakes,” wrote Valentin Lebedev, an astronaut, in his diary. “Even eating becomes more complicated. You must be careful and rely on sealed containers and specialized utensils to open packages. Spills can be dangerous as food particles or liquids might float into equipment or get into your eyes or nose.” Enough to say the anxiety of an altogether different order in zero gravity.What’s worse, in space, no one can hear you scream about travel delays. When will I get back? Such is the dilemma of Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, two astronauts who have been stranded (被滞留的) on the International Space Station (ISS) since docking there on June 6, 2024. NASA does not like that word. As one official insisted, “I want to make it very clear that Butch and Suni are not stranded in space.”Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams arrived at the ISS aboard the first crewed flight of Boeing’s Starliner. What was meant to be an eight-day stay is approaching the three-month mark after their capsule leaked helium (氦) and five of its 28 engines malfunctioned. That has delayed their return, possibly until February 1, 2025. Precisely what happens now depends on whether NASA thinks Starliner is safe — tests are ongoing — or whether they are better off getting a ride home on a flight operated by Boeing’s competitor, SpaceX. A decision should come soon.The next SpaceX Dragon capsule is due to dock at the ISS in September and return to Earth next year. If it is to make room for Mr Wilmore and Ms Williams, it will go up with two crew members instead of its usual four. That would require Starliner to leave the ISS uncrewed. Boeing says this is not currently possible owing to software issues.As it is, the engineering fault is a shame for Boeing and NASA．If crewed Starliner flights are unworkable, that will put paid to NASA’s ambition for competition in the task of ferrying astronauts to the space station and back to Earth. Now SpaceX looks like the only American game in town capable of getting to and from the ISS.Having a mission prolonged unexpectedly, which sometimes happens, means missing out on changes big and small. Sergei Krikalev spent five extra months on the Mir space station when earthlings got distracted by the breaking up of the Soviet Union. He came back to a whole new world in 1992.12．Which of the following best describes Valentin’s feeling in the diary?A．Amused but fragile.B．Uncomfortable and tense.C．Disturbed but magical.D．Restless and tolerant.13．When did Starliner plan to return at first?A．June 6, 2024.B．June 14, 2024.C．September 6, 2024.D．February 1, 2025.14．What do we know about NASA according to the text?A．It should have made massive investment for Starliner.B．It prefers cooperation with Space X instead of Boeing.C．It is giving a test to fix gas leak and an engineering fault.D．It denied the delayed flight in protection of its reputation.15．What does the last paragraph imply?A．A stranded flight caused Soviet Union to break up.B．What’s in store for Butch and Suni remains to be seen.C．Astronauts will see a whole new world when they return.D．Soviet Union’s spacecraft technology was no better than NASA’s.Always the Outsider?One of the things I used to fear was being the new girl in the office — in the kitchen making coffee while the in-crowd chatted about the weekend. I worried that I wasn’t good enough or smart enough. 16 I’d struggle for words while trying to look cool. Back at school, I was best friends with Kate and Cathy until we had to walk across the road in twos, and guess whowas left out? I’ve always been the outsider from school days to office life. Or is that the story I have told myself?As in so many areas of life, the only thing you can control is your response. I remind myself of what Eleanor Roosevelt said: No one can make you feel lower without your agreement. 17 These are the lessons I have learned along the way ：·Starting anywhere new, you just have to find your people, the ones that get you. 18 It’s OK to take your time and figure out if you’re the right fit for each other. Have faith that you will find the right people for you.·Very often it’s our belief systems that tell us we don’t fit in. We are replaying the stories from childhood and need to rewrite the script (剧本). 19 For example, when are you assuming that you’ll be on your own? What fears are you projecting onto yourself?·Practice self-acceptance. Remind yourself that it’s OK to have a different way of operating in the world.· 20 Never forget that while you might be trying to fit in, you should never try to be anybody but yourself.A．Don’t over-think people or situation.B．Don’t charge into friendships, though.C．Start noticing your patterns of mentality.D．If I was asked a question, panic would set in.E．The only person making you feel like an outsider is you.F．The feeling of being an outsider would force me to shut up.G．We all feel a little lost and awkward sometimes — you’re not alone.二、完形填空I’ve been barefoot in London every day since March last year.

黑龙江省哈尔滨市第三中学校2024-2025学年高二上学期期中英语试卷
黑龙江省哈尔滨市第三中学校2024-2025学年高二上学期期中英语试卷一、阅读理解If you decide to see the northern lights, consider heading to Canada, where they fill the sky 300 days a year in certain regions.YukonWith its sweeping landscapes and dramatic mountain views, Yukon is an outdoor lover’s dreamland. Take advantage of the brief window between the end of summer and first snowfall in autumn to combine outdoor activities like boating along the storied Yukon River with northern light watching.ChurchillHome to wolves, foxes, whales, moose and snowy owls, Churchill is well known for its arctic wildlife. It also sees an average of 300 nights of northern light activity every year. With over a week in the wild, there’s a good chance you’ll spot the lights.NunavikNunavik is Quebec’s northernmost region and one of four areas in Canada. It is home to the country’s Inuit people. By day, travelers canoe or snowmobile to Vieux Fort-Chimo, a 19th-century fur trading post; hear elders tell stories of a nomadic (游牧的) way of life; and listen to traditional throat singing, or katadjak — all led by an Inuit guide. Under inky skies, the guide offers Inuit insights into the meaning of the light.JasperLocated in the Rocky Mountains, Jasper is home to the world’s second-largest dark sky preserve, making it one of the best — and most convenient — places to catch northern lights throughout the year.An especially great time to visit is during the annual Jasper Dark Sky Festival in October when experienced photographers from around the world host workshops to share their best tips and astronomers explain how to interpret space weather data to determine optimal viewing time. 1．When should you go if you want to combine outdoor activities with light shows in Yukon?A．In late spring.B．In early summer.C．In autumn.D．In winter. 2．Where can tourists have a relatively in-depth experience of Inuit culture?A．In Yukon.B．In Nunavik.C．In Jasper.D．In Churchill. 3．What is special about the visit to Jasper in October?A．The rarest show of lights.B．Interactions with the locals.C．The diversity of wildlife.D．The chance to meet professionals.I still remember when the teacher in nursery school asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” crayons (蜡笔) danced across sheets of paper to illustrate our dream occupations. Our drawings were hung in the hallway for our parents to see at Back to School Night. I remember looking down the line and seeing pictures of ballerinas (芭蕾舞女) dancing, firefighters putting out a fire, and astronauts leaping across the moon—careers that were seen as typical dreams of five-year-olds.My picture showed a stick figure with brown hair holding a carton (纸板箱) of orange juice over a large rectangle that was supposed to be a counter. Underneath was my barely distinct handwriting: “When I grow up, I want to work at the Market Basket because it would be fun to swipe orange juice across the scanner.” To this day my parents won’t let me forget that out of everything I could have desire to be, my five-year-old self wished to work at the local grocery store.When we are young, questions of what we want to be when we grow up are common. Yet we are not expected to respond with an answer that is likely to come true. However, when we become teens, we are asked the very same question twice as often. The difference is, now we are supposed to answer with confidence.Teens are expected to know exactly what we want to be and how we are going to achieve that goal. Not all of us can be so sure. Even though I am in high school, I cannot answer convincingly. But I don’t consider that a bad thing. How am I supposed to know what I will want to spend my time doing at age 40?When I think about the future, I definitely don’t see myself working at the Market Basket, but in reality, if that was what would make me happy, I would do it. So, the next time someone asks me what I want to be when I grow up, I will simply say “happy”.Happiness is a destination for everyone. We may want to walk different paths in life, but we all want to be happy wherever we end up. Choose your path, but don’t worry too much about choosing wisely. Make a mistake or two and try new things. But always remember, if you’re not happy, you’re not at the end of your journey yet.4．What did the author want to be when she was in kindergarten?A．A dancer.B．A firefighter.C．An astronaut.D．A cashier in a grocery store.5．How do teenagers typically respond when asked what they want to be in the passage?A．They are sure about what they want to be.B．They become more confident about their abilities.C．They might not be able to give a convincing answer.D．They are expected not to have the kind of ideas children have.6．What does the last paragraph suggest?A．Never stop enjoying happiness.B．We should stick to what we set out to do.C．Everyone deserves to be happy in the end.D．We’ll be happy as long as we make only a few mistakes.7．What is the purpose of the article?A．To tell an unusual childhood story.B．To explain how to achieve happiness.C．To draw attention to childhood dreams.D．To share thoughts about careers and happiness.TO GOOGLE is now in broad usage as a verb for getting information from the internet. If the tech giant has its way, “I Googled” will become a standard reply to the question, “How did you get here?” On May 28th Google said it would build 100 driverless cars. It is the next stage in its apparent pursuit to be as common on the road as on computer screens.People have dreamed about driverless motoring since at least the 1930s, but only in recent years have carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz and Volvo given the matter more thought, equipping test cars with the sensors and complicated software required to pass through busy roads. Googlehas made rapid progress by designing a driverless car from the ground up.But bringing autonomous motoring to the world is proving harder than Google had imagined. It once promised it by 2017. Now it does not see production models coming out before 2020. The technology is far advanced, but it still needs to be made smaller and cheaper. Google’s current test cars are said to be filled with equipment worth $80,000.Google’s latest efforts may have as much to do with convincing the public and lawmakers as improving the technology. The firm stresses that computers are more likely than humans to avoid accidents. The cars will have a top speed of just 25mph and a front end made of soft foam(泡沫)to protect careless pedestrians. The benefits could indeed be huge. Driving time could be given over to working, sleeping or browsing the web. However, the issue of liability(问责)in the event of a driverless car crashing has yet to be resolved.Turning cars into products may not be good news for traditional carmakers. But changing the concept of driving into service fits well with Google’s plans to become as big in hardware as in software. And unlike car firms, which talk vaguely of becoming “mobility providers”, Google has a lot of money to make this a reality and no worries about disturbing its current business. Google admits it still has “lots of work to do”. But one day Googling to the shops may be a common activity.8．What’s Google’s next goal?A．To become a tech giant in computer.B．To get autonomous cars on the road.C．To cut down the cost of making cars.D．To beat Mercedes-Benz and V olvo. 9．What benefits do Google’s driverless cars have?A．All kinds of accidents can be avoided.B．They can protect drivers from severe injury.C．Drivers can be otherwise engaged on the road.D．There’s no problem with who to blame for a crash.10．What difficulty is Google faced with at present?A．Technology.B．Competition.C．Finance.D．Promotion. 11．What might be the best title of the passage?A．Google—the tech giant B．Google’s Cars TradeC．Autonomous Vehicle Adventure D．Google’s Driverless Cars’ JourneyBeing more creative is something that most of us would prefer but suppose there is hardly anything we can do about. Psychology professor K. Anders Ericsson claims that with enough practice, any of us can become experts. However, he is quick to add that this requires a specific kind of practice that Ericsson calls “deliberate practice”. That is, pushing beyond one’s comfort zone and setting goals that are above one’s current level of performance. He says he has yet to find the limits on being successful and he doesn’t believe the limits to be real.Ericsson has looked primarily at artistic and athletic skills, but can these findings apply to creativity? Most experts agree that even if most people cannot hope to become creative geniuses, they can learn to become more creative through practice. Psychologists claim that there are actually two levels of creativity, which they refer to as “Big C” and “small c”. Big C creativity applies to breakthrough ideas, ones that may change the course of a field or even history. Small c creativity refers to everyday creative problem solving, like creating a new recipe or improving a process, which psychologists subdivide further into similar and different thinking. Similar thinking involves examining all the facts and arriving at a single solution. In contrast, different thinking involves coming up with many possible solutions. What most people think of as creativity generally involves different thinking and can be taught, practised and learnt.Even with practice, different thinking alone cannot make one creative, however. Scott Barry Kaufman, a cognitive psychologist, says that most creative people share one personality quality: openness to new experience. Since this quality and these processes have been identified, less creative people can try to emulate them. Normally, we tend to reproduce what we already know because creative ideas move us into unfamiliar territory involving risks and following the usual behaviors is comfortable.Moving out of our comfort zone, engaging in deliberate practice and standing conflict ideas, risk and failure are all things we can learn to do better. It is unlikely that doing so will turn any of us into creative geniuses, but it does have the potential to increase our level of creativity. 12．Why does Ericsson think he can’t find the limits?A．Because a goal can be ambitious.B．Because practice makes perfect.C．Because each one can succeed.D．Because no restrictions exist.13．Which of the following is an example of ‘small c’?A．Settling in outer space.B．Building a plastic doghouse.C．Developing robots to tend to the old.D．Discovering medicine to save lives. 14．What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Copy.B．Limit.C．Justify.D．Assess. 15．What message does the author seem to convey in the text?A．Life is full of various challenges.B．We can learn to be more creative.C．It’s better to take deliberate practice.D．Most can become creative geniuses.The latest assessments of the health effects of coffee and caffeine (咖啡因), its main active ingredient, are comforting indeed. 16 They include Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, depression and all sorts of cancers.17 They showed consuming four or five eight-ounce cups of coffee a day has been associated with reduced death rates. In a study of more than 200,000 participants followed for up to 30 years, those who drank three to five cups of coffee a day, with or without caffeine, were 15 percent less likely to die early from all causes than the people who avoided coffee. Perhaps most dramatic was a 50 percent reduction in the risk of suicide among both men and women who were moderate coffee drinkers, perhaps by boosting production of brain chemicals. 18A report was published last summer by a research team at the Harvard Hool of Public Health.

哈尔滨市第三中学初中英语八年级下册Unit 1基础卷(含答案)
一、选择题1．Jane is high school student in the United States.A．a 18-year-old B．a 18-years-oldC．an 18-years-old D．an 18-year-old D解析：D【详解】句意：简是一个18岁的美国高中生。
英语中两个或多个单词中间可以用短横线连接起来，起一个相当于形容词的作用，这类单词叫做合成词。
其一般构成规则就是其构成单词一般都要用原形。
eighteen单词的首音素是元音，故不定冠词用an，故选D。
2．To his________， he didn't get________trouble.A．surprise；into B．surprise；to C．surprised；into A解析：A【解析】句意：使他吃惊的是，他没有遇到麻烦。
考查名词和介词辨析题。
to o ne’s surprise使某某吃惊的是；get into trouble闯祸/找麻烦，都是固定短语。
根据句意结构，可知选A。
3．You should ____ more water when you have a fever.A．drinks B．drinking C．drinked D．have D解析：D【解析】句意：你发烧的时候应该多喝水。
Should：应该，情态动词，后面跟动词原形；故选D。
4．There is a pen _____ on the floor, whose is it?A．lie B．putting C．lying D．lieing C解析：C【解析】句意：地板上有一支钢笔，它是谁的？ A. lie是动词，意思是“躺着”或者“说谎”。
这里不可以选，因为句子中已经有动词：is，一个句子不可以有两个谓语动词；B. putting是“put ”的现在分词，意思是“正在放着”，根据语境这里不可以选，“钢笔总不能自己放在地板上吧？” ，pen和put应是被动关系，如果用put，应用它的过去分词（put）做pen的后置定语（或宾语补足语），指笔是被人放在地板上的；C. lying是“lie”的现在分词，意思是“躺”，pen和lie主动关系，可以用现在分词修饰pen，做pen的后置定语（或宾语补足语）；D. lieing本身错误，lie的现在分词是lying；结合句意和语境可知选C。
