It was getting darker and darker. I felt so scared that tears rolled down my face again. David attempted to comfort me. He told me that he once made some marks on the trees in the forest, which might help us find the way home. Therefore, we made efforts to look for the marks but in vain. Having walked anxiously for about an hour in the forest, we failed to find our way out.Paragraph 2It was completely dark when we saw fireworks(烟火) being set off in the distance. We ran excitedly in that direction as fast as possible. Soon we found my aunt’s house, in front of which my cousin Kristy was holding some fireworks and lighting them. Seeing us back safe, Kristycheerfully hugged us. She told us that when noticing we had been away for long, she was concerned about our safety. She set off fireworks to draw our attention and guide us. It was an unforgettable experience. Without David’s comfort and Kristy’s fireworks, I would have lost in the forest forever.附：听力录音材料Text 1W: Mr. Johnson, I’ve been working hard for two months. I really need a break from work.

Aside from the earth,just about every surface in the solar system is unsafe for humans to explore. The air on most otherplanets is insufficient fortunate for humans to explore. The air on most other planets is insufficient for humans to breathe, making it necessary to wear a space suit and oxygen equipment.The temperatures on these surfaces are much too hot or much too cold for any humans to withstand.Plus there would be complications with radiation, weather, and a lack of gravity. Robots have muchless limitation in these areas and can survive much longer under these conditions.Robots are designed for collecting scientific data. Robots are also able to perform many tasksat one time and can process information much quicker and more efficiently. Important scientificprojects from detecting minerals, analyzing ground samples, to finding water are all performed muchquicker and accurately by robots.The use of robots has made the cost of space exploration much less expensive than it would costfor humans to do the work. In order to successfully send humans into space we would need to build a vehicle that can not only carry humans, but also enough food and water to keep them alive for the duration of the trip. Moreover, robots have no problems working for hours on end. Robots never complain, they don’t require food or water, and they never need a bathroom break.Over the past 30 years or so there have been many different types of robots used successfully in the exploration of space. Perhaps the most famous and successful robots are Spirit and Opportunity who have both been exploring the surface of Mars. They have both been very successful with experiments on soil and rocks and have even found evidence of water in Mars’ history.4. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The Development of RobotsB. The Discovery of Space ExplorationC. No Robots, No Space ExplorationD. Robots Are Used in Space Exploration5. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. The use of robots in space exploration costs more than the use of humans.B. It is dangerous for humans to explore other surfaces in the solar system except the earth.C. Both Spirit and Opportunity have found the evidence of water on Mars.D. Many different types of robots have explored the space successfully.6. The underlined word “withstand” in paragraph 2 most probably means “______”A. remainB. bearC. defeatD. developCA company h as just launched what it calls “the world’s first free standardized English test” recently. Anyone can take the test for free. The new exam is called the EFSET, which is short for Education First Standardized English Test. The company, Education First, is known by the letters EF.It is estimated that there are two billion English language learners worldwide. Many of them are interested in attending an American college or university. To do so, foreign students need to take the Test of English as a Foreign Language — better known as TOEFL. However, many foreigners are not wealthy enough to take the TOEFL. In addition, test-takers often have to travel overnight to reach an official testing site. The World Bank says an average Cambodian worker earns only about $1,000 per year. Approximately the cost of taking the TOEFL is 17.5 percent of the average worker’s yearly wage.It is not just individuals who find the test pricey. Some governments also find it prohibitive.What’s more, not everyone needs official r esults from the TOEFL or IELTS — the InternationalEnglish Language Testing System. In the future, it’s likely that the government may use the EFSETto test millions of employees and students.Experts believe that the EFSET meets the highest value in language testing. It uses special computer software that makes the questions easier or harder, depending on one’s performance. TheEFSET measures all the English learners’ levels while the IELTS and TOEFL only measure learners’levels from moderate (中等的) to advanced. The EFSET is unique in the sense that it gives free onlineaccess to anyone interested in measuring their English level.There is a 50-minute and a two-hour version of the test, which its developers are calling theEFSET Plus. Both versions tes t only reading and listening skills. It’s hopeful that speaking andwriting skills will be tested in the future. The IELTS and the TOEFL still use humans to rate the speaking and writing sections. It’s a huge deal for students who are in areas where they can’tget to the TOEFL or the IELTS. However, it is too early to know whether the EFSET results are acceptable for colleges and universities in America.7. Why do many foreign students take the TOEFL?A. To learn English well.B. To be admitted to key universities.C. To receive further education in America.D. To find good jobs and earn much money.8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?A. Only wealthy people can take the TOEFL.B. The cost of taking the TOEFL is very high.C. There are many official testing sites for the TOEFL around the world.D. Few of the students in Cambodia can afford to take the TOEFL.9. What can we learn about the EFSET?A. It is similar to the TOEFL and the IELTS.B. Everybody with different English levels can take it for free.C. It tests the skills of reading, listening, writing and speaking.D. American universities accept the EFSET results for admission.10. What’s the best title fo r the passage?A. How to get ready for the EFSETB. Different ways to test English learners in the worldC. The new software developed by Education FirstD. The free EFSET— an online test for English learnersDMany of us are quick to blame others for how we feel: “He makes me so mad!” or “She really hurt my feelings.” But did someone really “make me angry” or are we feeling the anger in us getting kicked up in response to the way someone behaved towards us?If we blame others for our feelings we will eventually feel reasonable at whatever our retaliation （报复）may be, and we will explain that it was their fault, not ours.“They were driving me mad”. When we blame others for the way we feel we have in fact given power to others for the state of our emotional wellbeing（健康）. The truth is, no one controls our feelings but us. If we are finding that people in our lives really know how to “push our buttons” then we are not doing a good enough job at protecting our “buttons.” We are the ones leaving our buttons out in the open so that other people can “push them.” Ultimately, the switch for our buttons is inside us –not on the outside. While there are some things in life that are clearly out of our control, like the weather or a flight that’s two hours late, how we act and respond to other people’s behavior is not among them. Our responses to others are well within our control.If someone is “making us” so mad, for example, that we get angry, we are not doing enough to learn about what drives our anger and how to properly cope with it. my suggestion is taking time before you get angry, and putting some work into taking an inventory（清单）of the past. An inventory can show you how much of your past experiences influence your feeling reactions in the current moment.When we finally realize that so much of our present feelings and reactions are driven from within ourselves and our own past experiences, we will be ready to make the changes in our lives that will better secure our buttons so that they are no longer left out in public for everyone to push at will.11. What result will appear if we blame others for our emotions?A. We consider others to be correct.B. We consider ourselves to be correct.C. We consider we were driving ourselves mad.D. We consider they were driving themselves mad.12. What’s the author’s attitude towards feelings?A. We should blame others for the way we feel.B. We should enable others to control our feelings.C. We should let others know our daily life clearly.D. We should control personal feelings ourselves.13. According to the author, which can always be under our control?A. The weather conditions.B. The delay of a flight.C. Other people’s feelings.D. Our own behavior.14. Which proverb best suits the author’s advice in Paragraph 5?A. A burden of one’s choice is not felt.B. A friend is easier lost than found.C. Think twice before acting.D. A good beginning is half done.15. What does the underlined phrase “push our buttons” probably mean inParagraph 3?A. Force us to do a good job.B. Make us angry.C. Take off our buttons.D. Let us down.第二部分：七选五（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）How to Love Your ParentsEven if you think that your parents are mean-spirited at times, loving your parents is a normal and fulfilling part of life．You love them for the fact that they created you, raised you, and are in part, a source of who you are．___16___Tell them you love them every morning．A gentle "good morning" and "I love you" will warm a coldest heart.

广东省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案)
广东省高一下学期期末英语试卷(附答案）学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________一、阅读理解There’s a day for just about everything, and the United Nations has designated May 20 as World Bee Day to celebrate the pollinators (传粉昆虫) dwelling in hives, fields and gardens around the globe since 2015. It draws much concern on bees and there’s a good reason to pay attention to them.“There are 20,000 species of bees around the world and a lot of these bees are in decline,” says Hien Ngo, a pollinator expert from the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. That includes honeybees, of course, but Ngo says they only make up a minority of all the kinds of bees in the world. Climate change, pesticides and habitat loss are putting many of those species a risk.“Bees really provide for us in many ways, like food and human well-being. They’re also important to our culture, dating back thousands of years in terms of heritage, inspiration of art,” Ngo says. They even provide inspiration for TikTok, where Erika Thompson，a professional beekeeper in Austin,Texas, shares her work.“The landlord wanted to call an exterminator (根除者), but the family who lived here wanted to save the bees, so they called me,” she says in her video.Her fans watch with happiness — and sometimes a little horror-as she picks up mounds (成堆) of bees with her bare hands and then moves them somewhere safer.“I’ve removed bees from a lot of crazy places,” Thompson says. “You know, I’ve removed bees from homes, RVs, tires, speakers and even a toilet.”Thompson’s work is about more than getting millions of views per video. “Bees are just a key factor in creating diverse and healthy ecosystems,” she notes. 1．What can we know about World Bee Day?A．It has a long history of hundreds of years.B．It is celebrated on May 22 every year.C．It is designated by the United Kingdom.D．People pay more attention to bees because of it.2．Which factor that makes many bees in danger is NOT mentioned?A．The change of climate. B．The shortage of food.C．The damage to their habitat. D．The application of pesticides. 3．What’s Ngo’s attitude towards celebrating World Bee Day? A．Unconcerned. B．Neutral (中立的).C．Negative. D．Supportive.4．What’s the best title for the text?A．A Video-on BeesB．How to Celebrate World Bee Day?C．Why Should We Celebrate World Bee Day?D．How Can We Human Beings Protect Bees?I live in central London. It’s crowded. I see tons of people every day. The Uber driver. The office workers at rush hour. The cashiers at Sainsbury’s ... Deep in my thoughts, I encounter and interact with people mindlessly like a robot sometimes, without giving it much thought. It’s becoming rare for me to make spontaneous (自发的) friendships.My mom was and still is the queen of spontaneous friendships. She is the kind of person who will talk to a cashier and know her life story, talk to a sales assistant and become her friend, and talk to a man sitting nearby, get his number and have me visiting his workplace to get advice on job hunting. These mindless chats have brought her many friends, and they have also solved many problems. I can’t remember how many times she did her magic and pulled herself out of a bad situation. Sometimes I wish I could be more like her. But on reflection, it’s something I can practice and you can too.For me to change, I had to make a habit of some sort. Here are the three affirmations (肯定) I tell myself every day to be more open to people.We are all fellow humans. We are all in this world together so we might as well be friendly and make a connection with a fellow human.Today is going to be a great day. Maybe I’ll meet someone who will make my day.I might be saved by a stranger. I might even meet my future employer before evenapplying.Opportunities are created by people. Whether it is a job or anything else, opportunities come from people talking to each other.So next time you get your coffee, ride with a driver, wait in line or even sit in the underground, don’t be afraid to interact with a stranger. It will affect their day; it will affect yours and you might get to that opportunity or solution that was lying in them, waiting to be found.5．Why does the author say that he is like a robot?A．He has to work hard.B．He is as smart as a robot.C．He has little time to enjoy his life.D．He seldom makes a connection with strangers.6．What do we know about the author’s mother?A．She has good people skills. B．She is fond of giving advice. C．She has strong belief in magic. D．She is unaware of her privacy concerns. 7．What did the author think about what his mother did?A．It was helpful to her. B．It was none of her business.C．It should be more spontaneous. D．It failed to solve any problems. 8．What does the author suggest?A．Staying away from strangers.B．Keeping in touch with your old friends.C．Communicating with those you encounter.D．Avoiding sharing personal information with others.On James Owen’s 70th birthday, he saw a video of himself bending the top of his body forward and raising his shoulders and back and walking slowly up to the platform where he was giving a talk. “I looked like an old man,”says Owen,who builta successful career on Wall Street. Even worse, he felt like an old man. He was about25 pounds overweight and had trouble with his back, knees and shoulders.Later, instead of giving in to age, Owen decided to set an ambitious five-yeargoal.He wanted to be pain-free, and he decided the way to get there was through exercise-even though at the time he couldn’t do a single push-up. Owen began walking though he was out of breath after five minutes. But that didn’t discourage him. He kept at the walks every day, along with some stretching. Once he had those basics down,he started lifting weights and hired a personal trainer to teach him and design a routine he could follow on his own. The last piece was finding other activities he enjoyed,which turned out to be cycling and swimming.In less than five years, Owen was able to do three sets of 50 push-ups each and walk for miles each day. And yes,he was free of aches and pains“Aging is only about 25% genes, and the rest is lifestyle,“he says.“As long as you’re still mobile, it’s never too late to become more healthy.”Owen used his experience to write a book called Just Move! A New Approach to Fitness After 50,in which he details how older adults can safely get off the couch and add more movement to their lives. He says,“Think of it as movement not exercise.Get started even if you walk just three blocks, which was all I could manage at first.”He adds,“The key is slow and steady progress. Not every investment pays off,but it is the best investment I’ve ever made in my life.”9．What can we learn about Owen from the video?A．He was a tough guy.B．He was in bad physical condition.C．He was overweight but straight in shape.D．He was wealthy and enthusiastic about exercise.10．Why did Owen decide to set a five-year goal?A．To relieve pain.B．To lose weight.C．To write a book.D．To encourage investment.11．Which of the following does Owen agree with?A．It’s better to get started earlier.B．Genes play a key role in anti-aging.C．Healthy lifestyle is vital in delaying aging.D．Exercise quickly promotes physical recovery.12．What can be concluded from the text?A．Bad news has wings. B．A good medicine tastes bitter. C．Don’t judge a book by its cover. D．It is never too old to work out.It appears that language can have a fascinating effect on the way we think about time and space. A growing number of experts believe language can influence how we think just as our thoughts and culture can shape how language develops.Cognitive scientist Lera Boroditsky, one of the pioneers of research into how language manipulates our thoughts, has shown that English speakers typically view time as a horizontal (平的) line. They tend to view time as travelling from left to right, most likely in line with how you are reading the text on this page.Languages also encode (编码) time in their grammar. In English, the future is one of three simple tenses, along with the past and the present — we say “it rained”, “it rains” and “it will rain”. But in German, you can say Morgen regnet, which means “it rains tomorrow”— you don’t need to build the future into the grammar.But does this affect how we think? In 2013, Keith Chen, a behavioral economist at the University of California, set out to test whether people who speak languages that are “futureless” might feel closer to the future than those who speak other languages. For example, German, Chinese, and Japanese have no linguistic barrier between the present and the future, while “futured languages” , such as English, French, Italian and Spanish, encourage speakers to view the future as something separate from the present.He discovered that speakers of futureless languages were more likely to engage in future-focused activities. They were 31% more likely to have put money into savings in any given year and had gained 39% more wealth by retirement. They were also 24% less likely to smoke and 29% more likely to be physically active.It is becoming increasingly clear that language is influencing how we think about the world around us, which is not to say that any one language is “better” thananother. But being aware of how languages differ can help you think, navigate and communicate better. And while being multilingual (多语的) won’t necessarily make you a genius, we all can gain a more flexible understanding of the world by learning a new language.13．What does the underlined word “manipulates” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Weakens. B．Shapes. C．Impacts. D．Deepens. 14．How does the author organize paragraph 3?A．By listing figures. B．By giving examples.C．By giving definitions. D．By explaining the reasons.15．What were speakers of futureless languages likely to do?A．Smoke and drink.B．Be mentally active.C．Spend money without restriction.D．Take part in future-focused activities.16．What does the author intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A．One language is much better than another.B．Being multilingual can help you become a genius.C．Learning a new language can change your way of life.D．Language has an impact on how we think about the world.二、七选五Now I live in Paris. Actually, I don’t mind the food or the people, but I do care about the land that is extraordinarily lack of characteristics of hiking. I enjoy being outdoors and hiking, but Paris’s natural resources don’t hold much potential for my bent. So when my dad asked if I wanted to go hiking with him, I was overjoyed. 17 . It turned out that I was too optimistic.We started our main hike up Flattop Mountain. As we hiked it was much more challenging than I expected. 18 . The path is winding and we saw mountains towering over the green valleys and cliffs that seemed endless. What amazed me most was that thick clouds enveloped the mountainsides. 19 .I stared up at the top to see how much farther we had to go and I began to worrythat I wouldn’t finish it. 20 . It made me doubtful about my persistence (坚持). But when we looked back at the path that faded in the distance, I was filled with fulfillment with seeing how much we had done.As I was hiking, I started to reflect on how hiking was similar to other aspects of my life. 21 . It reminded me of my struggles in my classes and the difficulties I had to overcome. I spotted that the process of learning isn’t always the most fun, but the fulfillment after seeing how much I had finished just increases the thirst for knowledge, causing me to long for more learning. Looking down at the mountain I was content but never fully satisfied. Having considered a lot, I was determined to pursue the summit (山顶).A．Hiking could make me fly.B．Hiking gave time for my mind to wander.C．I thought I would finish the journey with ease.D．But I was shocked at the beauty surrounding me.E．I was satisfied with the landscape along the way.F．It was unlike anything I had ever witnessed before.G．A recent ankle injury had left me unsure of my physical capabilities.三、完形填空A seven-year-old boy has become one of the youngest people to cycle from Londonto him.Rupert’s life was 32 forever when his Dad passed away in 2019. As Rupert was only four at the time, it was 33 for him to understand what had happened. With the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, it ended up being a really 34 time for Rupert and his Mum. That was when the Children’s Bereavement Centre cameto help. They taught Rupert to 35 some of the emotions he was feeling and also 36 him to other children so that he felt less 37 .With some help from his Mum, Rupert decided to 38 this challenge to raise lots of money for the Centre so they can support more families. “We are absolutely 39 that Rupert has decided to do so. It’s a great 40 for anyone to cycle 200 miles from London to Paris, let alone a seven-year-old boy. Rupertis a real 41 ,” Kate Baxter, CEO of the charity, told BBC News. 22．A．adopted B．educated C．supported D．invited 23．A．donated B．saved C．earned D．collected 24．A．tradition B．challenge C．experiment D．exercise25．A．ride B．race C．show D．award26．A．away B．alive C．updated D．recorded 27．A．Actually B．Finally C．Currently D．Differently 28．A．direction B．confidence C．control D．chance29．A．rang B．brought C．cheered D．joined 30．A．serious B．meaningless C．powerful D．valuable31．A．lied B．apologized C．occurred D．admitted 32．A．saved B．judged C．improved D．changed 33．A．normal B．necessary C．natural D．difficult 34．A．tough B．quiet C．short D．useless35．A．suffer from B．make up C．deal with D．think over 36．A．described B．introduced C．remembered D．reported 37．A．regretful B．angry C．alone D．surprised 38．A．take on B．refer to C．turn up D．pass down 39．A．relaxed B．excited C．upset D．worried40．A．honor B．luck C．moment D．achievement 41．A．invention B．imagination C．inspiration D．admiration四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白出填入适当的内容或括号内单词的正确形式。

AAmsterdam, the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands, is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world, famous for its beautiful canals, top art museum, cycling culture, and Red Light District. Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre, which is full of traditional architecture, shopping centers, and coffee shops. You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District, which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the Vondelpark. The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem, the Ann Frank House, and the Van Gogh Museum. The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world. This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center. You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station, which has many conn ecting routes. It’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find. Cycling is incredibly popular here, and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town. Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming, avoid booking between mid-March and mid-May. This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South Dis trict, where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide, hop on a canal boat. They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights, hotels, and rental cars before you book.1.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A.Albert Cuyp Market.B. The Ann Frank House.C. The Van Gogh Museum.D. The Canal Ring.2. Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A. The plane.B. The train.C. The car.D. The bike.3. Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A.Seeing the tulips blooming in spring.B. Avoiding accommodating downtown.C. Buying car tickets at the machine.D. Hiring a local tour guide.BAn Arizona woman who was attacked by a zo o’s jaguar(美洲虎) over the weekend has apologized and admitted she crossed a safety barrier(栅栏) to snap a photo.The woman Leanne told CBS News that she leaned over the barrier at Lichfield Park’s Wildlife World Zoo on Saturday, but she refused to admit she climbed over it as the zoo has said.“I never passed the barrier, but I do admit to leaning over the barrier,” she told the news network.The woman had injuries that were not life-threatening to her arm after the big cat caught onto her through a fence. A fellow park goer got the cat to release its painful grasp by distracting the animal with a plastic water bottle.Mickey Ollson, the director of Wildlife World Zoo, told ABC that the jaguar won’t be harmed because of “human behavior”. He added that this wasn’t the first time that the animal has injured a guest who got too close, however. It’s not clear whether the park plans to re-evaluate the barrier around the exhibit, which has been described as a 3-foot wall. Leanne hopes that they will.“I was in the w rong for leaning over the barrier, but I do think the zoo should look into moving their fence back,” she told CBS News. “I’m not the first, and if they don’t move the fence, I’m probably not going to be the last.”Kitty Block, president and CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, also urged the zoo and other parks to be cautious enough when it comes to separating the animals from people.“When various types of exhibitors promote all sorts of close meeting with wildlife, people get the mistaken idea that wild animals are approachable,” she said in a statement. “We urge the zoological community exhibitors to set a higher standard to protect people and to respect wildlife from a safe distance by doing away with public contact opportunities with wildlife of all species.”4.How did Leanne free from the danger of the jaguar?A.The zoo director helped her to get away from it.B.The jaguar was attracted by a bottle and let her go.C.Another park goer hurt the jaguar and it ran away.D.Leanne herself struggled with it and scared it away.5. What can we infer from Paragraph 5?A. Human behavior cannot have any influences on the jaguar in the zoo.B. The jaguar tends to attack the guests unexpectedly however far they stay.C. Leanne is doubtful whether the barrier around the exhibit is safe enough.D. The zoo has ensured the barrier will be evaluated again after the accident.6.What did Kitty Block advise the zoo and parks to do?A.Be very cautious to separate the animals from people.B.Look into moving their fence back and clear the barrier.C.Set a higher standard to build up a zoological community.D.Encourage people to have frequent meetings with wildlife.CRobot vacuum cleaners aren’t a new concept, having been around for more than 15 years, but they have become greatly more helpful since the days of catching on rug hairs, running out of battery mid-clean and forgetting where they were.But the next generation of disc-shaped floor-cleaners could bring some of the most important upgrades yet, including being more autonomous than ever and knowing exactly where they are in your home and where you need them to be.iRobot’s latest Roombas, the i7 and i7+, shown off at a recent event in Tokyo, will be arriving in Australia in the coming months. Their key new feature: persistent mapping of your home. The ability to map not only makes the robot quicker and more efficient, but lets it integrate(融入) more closely with smart homes. Once it’s explored your house a few times, the i7 will present you with a map via its smart phone app, which Angle says tends to be “maybe 80 per cent right”.As the robot travels around cleaning up dust, it draws a floor plan and uses a sensor(传感器) to identify landmarks and objects. Unlike previous models, the i7 remembers this information, meaning it will learn the most efficient paths around your home over time.If you change the layout of your furniture, it will adapt the existing map rather than having to create a whole new one and if you have a multi-storey house, it simply makes multiple maps, and use s its learned landmarks to determine which floor it’s on (you’ll still need to carry it up the stairs).iRobot’s CEO and founder Colin Angle says the i7 class, the company’s 10th generation Roomba, is the robot he’s always wanted to build; capable of keeping a home’s floors clean with virtually no user input needed.“This robot has 30 times the processing power of its former generation,” he says. “So we’re fully into a situation today where we can be running machine learning and visual object recognition technology and very advanced algorithms(演算法; 运算法则) on the robot, to allow it to continue to work on increasingly complicated code.”7.According to the passage the robot cleaners invented 15 years ago could ______.A. catch on the hairs on the rugB.charge the battery mid-cleanC.draw the map of the homeD. know their exact home position8. The underlined word “layout” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by ______.A.arrangementB. designC. styleD. size9. Which of the following statements about the i7 and i7+ is true?A.i7 remembers the identified landmarks like former models.B.They can enter the room upstairs themselves and clean it.C.They can do better in math than the previous cleaners.D.i7 can present a map exactly via its smart phone app.10.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Technologies in the Cleaner.B. The Future of iRobots.C. The Development of iRobots.D. The Latest Robot Cleaner.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。
