湖南省临澧县第一中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试卷(附答案)
2021年高一英语试题卷第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分50分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
ARecently, an unhappy event has happened in a kindergarten in Chongqing. Most primary schools suggest that parents should come along with their children to school and guard the school gates from 7:40 to 8:00 in the morning. Opinions on this problem are different from person to person.Sun Zhenyao, 13, JiangbeiSafety comes first. I don’t think it’s a big problem for parents. They just have to stay at the school gate for a little longer. Also, it’s very crowded around school gates in the morning. Traffic accidents can happen. Depending only on school guards is not enough. If parents can help, there will be fewer accidents.Li Minyi, 14, YubeiOn weekdays, guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ responsibility –not the parents’. Also, the time during which they have to stand guard is usually about 7:40 to 8:00 am, the morning rush hour. Some parents might get caught in a traffic jam and be late for their work.I don’t think this task should fall on the parents.Sun Run, 14, BeibeiThis request is not just about children’s safety, but also supporting the school. It is a good way to improve relations between parents and schools. Secondly, parents can set a good example for their kids by working selflessly for their society.Huang Xi, 15, JiulongpoMost of these parents are office workers. They have their own things to do. They hurry to go to work every morning. To meet this new request, some may have to ask for time off. This will affect their work performance.21. The students who agree with the suggestion are_______.A. Li Minyi, Sun RunB. Huang Xi, Sun ZhenyaoC. Huang Xi, Li MinyiD. Sun Zhenyao, Sun Run22. According to the students, why should parents guard the school gates?A. Guarding schools and keeping students safe should be the schools’ job.B. It is a good example for kids to have a sense of responsibility.C. Some parents can ask for time off to guard the school gates.D. There are not enough school guards in the primary schools.23. This article is most likely to be_________.A. a newspaper interview （采访）B. a police reportC. a short storyD. a textbook passageBA young couple decided to get married. As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad，” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I'm afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said, “All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, eve n when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought.The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom，” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I'm afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can't live without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don't say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mother's advice.They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, thehusband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife woken. Without thinking, the w ife asked, “What on earth are you doing？” The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed my sock！”24. What troubled the young man before he got married?A. His feet had an unpleasant smell.B. He was unprepared for the big day.C. He was too poor to marry the girl.D. His habit was too bad to be known.25. Why did the husband feel frightened?A. Because he forgot to wear the socks.B. Because his socks were missing.C. Because his wife might find the truth.D. Because it would disappoint his father.26. The husband said the last sentence of the passage because ________.A. his wife was very hungry in the morningB. his wife often dreamed of eating thingsC. he wanted to have his wife buy new socksD. he found his wife's breath very smelly27. What would happen next most probably?A. The wife would leave the husband soon.B. The couple would tell each other the truth.C. The husband would buy a new pair of socks.D. The couple's parents would help find the sock.CThe popularity of Chinese-owned video-sharing service TikTok(抖音)continues to grow among young people in the United States. In 2019, experts say the service more than doubled its American user base to 37 million. TikTok is especially popular with teens and young adults.The service lets users create and share their short videos that they think interesting and useful. Many of them are under 15 seconds. The TikTok app offers a wide choice of sounds, brief parts of songs and special effects tools to help create a video. Some TikTok-based memes(表情包)are very popular. Videos often include popular songs from well-known artists and TikTok has even helped launch the careers of new music stars.TikTok is considered a competitor to the video-sharing app Snapchat, as well as Facebook's Instagram service. Snapchat and Instagram also mainly interest young users with a wide mix of photos and videos centered largely on fashion, pop culture and humor.Last year, TikTok was the second-most downloaded app from Apple and Google stores. Only WhatsApp was downloaded more. Research company Sensor Tower guesses people have downloaded the TikTok app 1.65 billion times.TikTok has been used by many major companies to reach young people who use little or no traditional media. One of those companies is American-based e. l. f. Cosmetics(化妆品). The makeup company's chief marketer, Kory Marchisotto, said that TikTok is "where the Gen Z party is". Gen Z is a name used to call the generation born between the late 1990s and the early 2000s.“That's where they're all hanging out," Marchisotto said.Companies appearing on TikTok can make money through advertising. Often, the companies create user "challenges" as part of their advertisement campaigns. TikTok users created 3 million videos that received more than 4 billion view.28. Which word can best describe the videos created on TikTok?A. Traditional.B. Boring.C. Various.D. Serious.29. Which was downloaded most from Apple and Google stores last year?A. TikTok.B. Snapchat.C. Instagram.D. WhatsApp.30. What can companies do on TikTok?A. Challenge their competitors.B. Make advertisements.C. Hold music concerts.D. Promote users' abilities to make videos.31. What is the best title for the text?A. TikTok Keeps Growing Among US YouthB. How to Share Short VideosC. Facebook Achieves Great SuccessD. Companies Benefit Much from VideosD“Baby signing” classes established to improve language skills actually make little difference to children’s development, according to new research. Scholars claimed there was no evidence that the lessons—in which babies are taught simple gestures to communicate their everyday needs—enable children to talk quicker than others.In a three-year study, it was claimed that the method could make mothers more responsive to their chil dren’s behaviors but failed to actually increase babies’ vocabulary. An active home environment in which parents regularly talk to their children was much more effective, researchers warned. The findings will cast doubt on the movement—born in the United States—which has proved hugely popular among middle-class parents.Baby signing is now a multi-million pound industry, with thousands of mothers andfathers paying for classes, books and DVDs. Young children are taught simple gestures for words and phrases to communicate their everyday needs, such as “milk” “more” “all gone” “food” and “tired”. It is claimed that the technique brings great benefits, including improving the relationship between mother and child, helping language development and even increasi ng a child’s intelligence.But research from Hertfordshire University has found no evidence that using baby signing helps to improve their language development. The scholars added, “Baby signing has become big business and mothers, particularly first-time mums or less confident parents, feel the pressure to do it. Some even think ‘if I don’t do it and everyone else does, I must be a bad mother’.”However, baby signing experts hardly sustained the findings. Wendy Moat, 45, who has been running baby signing classes for three years, said that the classes encouraged speech development, and may help develop a higher IQ. She said, “So many mums say that their children talk so well because they did baby signing when they were babies. Parents wouldn’t say it if they didn’t believe it.”32. Which of the following may help improve children’s language skills?A. Using simple words and phrases.B. Talking to them as much as possible.C. Buying them more books and DVDs.D Creating a serious home environment.33. According to Paragraph 4, some new mothers choose baby signing classes in that________.A. they are influenced by othersB. they are sure of the effects of themC. they don't want to be looked down uponD. they don't know how to teach their children34. The underlined word “sustained” in the last paragraph means “”.A. foundB. got rid ofC. supportedD. quit35. What’s the main idea of the text?A. How to teach children to communicate effectively.B. Baby signing classes increase children’s intelligence.C. How to improve the relationship between mother and child.D. Baby signing classes fail to improve children’s language skills.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Through camping, children can discover new things about nature, such as flowers, birds, and other small animals. Camping gives kids time to get away from all the electronics of today's culture. So it's necessary to plan exciting and enjoyable family camping trips with your children while they're young.When planning your family camping trip, consider the activities your kids like: games, hiking, swimming, boating, bicycling, etc. Select a camping place that has some of the activities the kids are interested in. Meal planning is an important part of your camping trip. Plan the meals together, and kids love to choose what they want to eat.When starting to pack for your trip, let the kids pack their own things. Each person should have his or her own sleeping bag with a luggage bag to put it in. Personal items should be packed with their sleeping bags. Encourage the kids to put their things in a certain place and always return it when they have finished using it.When you've arrived at your campsite, make all the camping activities a family activity, which will help children to realize how important teamwork is. Everyone can have his/her own job sitting up the campsite. Meal time can be a fun time. So let the older ones help with the cooking on your outdoor camping stove while the younger ones get the picnic table ready.1. Which of the following is the best place for a family camping?A. A place covered with forests.B. A place where kids can find various foods they like.C. A place which provides many interesting activities.D. A place with a river and wild animals.2. What does the author advise parents to do while planning a family camping trip?A. Let the children learn by watching.B. Encourage the children to take care of their own things.C. Take more food to meet the children's need.D. Keep the children away from animals.3. When at the campsite, it is necessary to___________.A. allow the children to cookB. give children enough time to playC. make everyone have work to doD. keep the picnic table full of foodCWhen you purchase fresh-cut flowers, do you think about where they came from? It might make sense to think they were grown somewhere nearby. The reality, though, is that the cut flower trade is increasingly international. Today, thanks to airplanes and high-tech cooling systems, eventhe most delicate flower can be exported, and sold in a florist thousands of kilometers away from where it was grown.The country that dominates the world cut flower trade is the Netherlands. It handles about 60 percent of the world’s cut flowers. The Netherlands is also a world leader in developing new flower varieties. Dutch companies and the government invest a considerable amount of money in flower research. Their scientists look for ways to lengthen a flower’s vase life, to strengthen flowers to prevent them from being damaged while traveling, and also to strengthen the natural fragrance of the flowers.Despite the Netherlands’ dominance of the flower market, there are many places with a better climate for growing flowers, and the climate of Ecuador is almost perfect. Mauricio Davalos is the man responsible for starting Ecuador’s flower industry. “Our biggest edge is nature,” he claims. “Our roses are the best in the world.” Every year, Ecuador sells about 500 million flowers to the U.S. alone. The industry has brought employment opportunities and a stronger economy to regions of the country. “My family has TV now. There are radios,” says Yolanda Quishpe, 20, who picked roses for four years.To others, the increasingly international nature of the flower trade is very bad news. In recent years, local growers in the U.S. faced huge competition from international flower companies, and many lost their businesses, Lina Hale, an independent rose grower in California, said her father had predicted the situation. “I see a freight train coming down the track,” he warned her, “and it’s coming straight towards us.”1. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Cut flowers can survive a long trip.B. You should buy flowers from local florists.C. Flowers you buy come from far away places.D. Few thinks about where they buy your flowers.2. Which of the following are mentioned as large investors in flower research?A. Dutch companies and the governmentB. airplane and high-tech cooling companiesC. Ecuador’s local flower growers and pickersD. American businessmen and their government3.The underlined word in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _________.A. endB. advantageC. challengeD. difference4. What did Lina Hale’s father mean when he said, “I see a freight train coming down the track and it’s coming straight toward us.”?A. He could predict a train was soon to arrive.B. He knew his business would be threatened.C. He thought customers wouldn’t want roses.D. He thought trains were the new way to move flowers.第二节(共5个小题；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。

of my father's death.Looking back at the past year,I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence.I felt as if I was running in circles （圆圈）.I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death,I began channeling all that pain into dance.But as a fairly new dancer,I haven’t had too much stage experience.I recently performed at my school's winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness.I dedicated（献上）the dance to her and my father.I only had one week.I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily,my best friends came to my aid.What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said.I will never forget what one of them said:"You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind.You have more kindness than some will ever have.I saw how much that dance meant to you,especially how it connected with your memories.It made me cry,that is how incredible you are."Just surround yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you.I am so proud of how much I’ve achieved and I know I will keep going,just as my father would have wished.35．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A．She had no gift for dancing.B．She found it painful to dance on stage.C．She suffered from a heart disease.D．She lacked experience and got nervous on stage.36．We can infer from the article that the author_______.A．performed at her school's concertB．recovered quickly from the loss of her fatherC．is very grateful to her friendsD．is still too sad to keep moving on37．The author wrote the article mainly to _____.A．remind us of the importance of friends in out livesB．encourage us to deal with pain positivelyC．tell us how she became a successful dancerD．show respect to her dear fatherNew research has found that even if you give up smoking,the damage it has done to your genes（基因）will stay there for a much longer time.In the research,a team of US scientists studied the blood of 16,000 people.Among them,some were smokers,some used to smoke,and the rest were non-smokers.Scientists compared their genes and found that more than 7,000 genes of smokers had changed-a number that is one-third of known human genes.According to NBC News,both heart disease and cancer are caused by genetic changes.Some people may have had the changes when they were born,but most people get them in their day-to-day lives while doing things like smoking.When you stop smoking,a lot of these genes will return to normal within five years.This means your body is trying to heal（治愈）itself of the harmful effects of smoking.But the changes in some of the genes stay for longer.They can stay for as long as 30 years.It’s almost l ike leaving a footprint on wet cement （水泥）一it will always be there, even when you’ve walked away and when the cement becomes dry.Although the study results may make people unhappy,there is a bright side: the findings could help scientists invent medicine to treat genetic damage caused by smoking or find ways to tell which people have heart disease or cancer ricks.38．The function of Paragraph 1 is to .A．give an example B．introduce the topic of the passage C．make an argument D．show the main idea of the passage 39．Most genetic changes happen because of .A．people's condition at birth B．environmental pollution C．people's bad living habits D．heart disease and cancer40．The underlined word "it" refers to .A．the cement B．the footprintC．the harmful D．the genetic change41．Which of the following statements is true?A．The findings are the fruit of more than three years' research.B．The findings have prevented more people from starting smoking.C．The findings offer evidence that a damaged gene can heal itself. D．The findings help to find cures for genetic damage caused by smoking.For many people,being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework,meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy familylife,home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study,researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol（皮质醇）released in response to stress,in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women,and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many."Paid work is more valued in society,"says Sarah Damaske,the lead researcher on the study. "Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding."We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards.Yet none of us,no matter how long we've been doing it,ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief.Athome,meanwhile,stress spreads and accumulates（积累）quickly."That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,"Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to "leave work stress at the office" and even to change our mind-set （思维定式）from work to home,for example,a walk around the block.The recent findings,though,suggest our home life,not our attitude,might be due for some change.42．Which of the following can replace the underlined word "taxing"?A．stressful. B．cheerful.C．worthwhile. D．rewarding.43．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A．Men felt better at home.B．Women felt they had less time.C．Women were easier to feel happier.D．Most people felt more stress at home.44．According lo the recent findings,what should we change to solve the problem mentioned? A．Our attitude. B．Our mind-set.C．Our home life. D．Our working style.四、七选五We face problems in our everyday life. 45．Don't worry. As long as you are breathing, you can solve problems.Be aware of problemFirst of all, it is important to know and understand the problem clearly. 46．. Following questions like why, what, how, when, where and who will take you to the root cause of the problem.Analyze the problemAnalyzing the problem will give you time to think of a proper solution. 47．. They can be diagrams(图表), flowcharts or a lists, etc.Plan a strategy(策略)Planning a strategy will help you waste less energy and time in attempting all the solutions. This step includes knowing the advantages and disadvantages of applying a solution. In this way, you can abandon the strategy that you don't find worthy to apply.48．Leave out the information that is not required for the solving of the problem. You need to be accurate with the details. Keeping the unrelated information can sometimes complicate the simple problems as we tend to overlook the important information.Carry out the solutionPutting the solution into effect in a correct way to get the result expected is important while solving a problem. You need to be creative while actualizing(实施)a solution just in casesome other problem arises while applying the solution. 49．A．Remove unrelated information.B．You can use various tools to study the problem.C．Use yes or no questions to get better information.D．Knowing the problem means solving half the problem itself.E.They can be social problems, relationship problems, or problems at work.F.Being ready with alternatives is also important in case a solution works only half way.G.Spend 10% of the time analyzing the problem and 90% on the solution, not the opposite.五、用单词的适当形式完成短文While50．(wait) for the airplane to take off,I was happy to get a seat by myself.Just then,51．air hostess approached me and asked,"Would youmind52．(change) your seat?A couple would like to sit together."The only possible seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏绷带）,a black and blue face,and a sad53．(express)."No way am I going to sit there,"I thought54．(immediate).But a soft voice spoke,"She needs help."Finally,I decided to move to that seat.The girl was named Kathy.She was hurt in a car accident and now was55．her way to treatment. When the snacks and juice arrived,it did not take me long to realize56．Kathy would not be able to feed herself.I considered57．necessary to feed her but hesitated,as it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger.But then I realized that Kathy's need was more important than my discomfort.I offered58．(help) her eat, and although she was uncomfortable to accept,she did as I expected.We became closer and closer in a short period of time.By the end of the five-hour trip,we had become friends.Love sometimes flows beyond human borders and59．(remove) the tear that keeps us separate.When we offer to serve another,we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world.六、根据所给汉语意思完成句子60．Education shouldn't be m_______（衡量）purely by examination results. 61．There is now no p_______（可能性）that she will make a full recovery from her illness.62．David turned and walked off in the o_______（相反的）direction without a word.63．A child receives its early e_______（教育）from its parents at home. 64．F_______（幸运地）,the fire was discovered and put out soon after it broke out.65．She c_______（抱怨）that no one had been at the airport to meet her. 66．There is no e_______（证据）that shows he is a thief.67．With the d_______（发展）of the agriculture,the farmers become richer and richer.68．They have dug up an ancient tomb d_______（始于）from 45BC．69．He is a very i_______（有影响的）man in the government and is in an important position.七、短文改错70．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下短文。

What's more, I didn't care about mental health. Why would I As Dad used to say, "If it isn't broken, don't fix it!"But unfortunately my mental health did "break". I was diagnosed （诊断）as seriously clinically anorexic （厌食的）at age 23. I had immediate treatment in hospital, which lasted two and a half years. People always wonder what helped me recover and the key was simple：comedy （喜剧）.I'm a professional stand-up comic. Comedy began as my hobby and has progressed into a job. The word "comedy" is believed to come from the Ancient Greek kōmos meaning "to reveal"，whose job is to reveal, explain and understand things. This was something I turned to when I was in recovery from anorexia. I'd never been able to explain what going on inside my head；trying to explain what's going on in your mind is like trying to explain a color to someone who's blind. So humour became a way of understanding things and then a way of explaining them. Dr Dieter Declercq, Lecturer in Film at the University of Kent, believes "Humor can change our opinions on a difficult situation". However, he adds carefully that "We should avoid judgments like all humour is good for you." In his new book Satire, Comedy and Mental Health, he looks at how comedy can be used as a mental health method. Enjoyed with others, it is important for good mental health and recovery.Stand-up comedy was important to my recovery. I know I'm not alone in that. So I want to pay that forward and show other people your mental health doesn't have to be "broken" before you can "fix it".13.How did the author treat the issue of mental health as a teenager______A. She took it seriously.B. She was confident of it.C. She hated talking about it.D. She paid no attention to it.14.What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3？______A. Explain how comedy helps.B. Share what she went through.C. State where comedy comes from.D. Show why comedy is a common hobby.15.What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 4 refer to______A. Comedy.B. Film.C. A difficult situation.D. The new book.16.In which section of a magazine is this text probably from？______A. Health & Life.B. Man & Nature.C. Science & Technology.D. Society & Opinion.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)CWhat is talent？Are you born with it？Or does it seem to develop over time？Before I start, I'd like to say that one thing everyone agrees on is that the most skilled musicians have worked hard to get there.While it's true that a few of us had enough "talent" to avoid extra practice to do just as well as those who did, those who worked hard easily beat us. It is, in fact, very likely that if some of us "talented ones" had actually been practicing and improving our skill, we would have achieved a whole different level.Another aspect of talent seems to be heart and passion （酷爱）. The people I see who are the most talented musicians are crazy about music. They eat, breathe, and live music and they make an extraordinary effort to make it part of their lives. As Remus Badea said, desire for the musician-to-be is significant for them to be successful. This desire is easily found in those considered to be talented. When you want and love something so bad, it drives you and your entire character can be shaped around it. Such determined passion seems to produce incredible skill and talent.The third aspect（方面）of talent is having talent around you. When surrounded by talented musicians, it only seems natural that you start to catch up to their level Take a look at almost any group of musicians in history. The more talented people in the group the more talented the group is as a whole. A great example of this is the relationship between audio producer and artist. The artist turns up to the studio with their song,and as they work through recording it, the audio producer will often suggest various changes to the song to make it better.17.What can we learn from Paragraph 2？______A. Pride goes before a fall.B. It's never too old to learn.C. Practice contributes to talent.D. Talent determines achievements.18.What is the key to success according to Remus Badea______A. Passion.B. Character.C. Skill.D. Talent.19.Why is the example mentioned in the last paragraph？______A. To introduce what real talents are.B. To explain how a song is composed.C. To prove talents need team spirit.D. To show the benefits of being with talents.20.What might the author probably agree with______A. Music has no limits.B. Musicians are born with talent.C. Music favors the talented.D. Musicians are created, not born.(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)DThe use of AI （artificial intelligence）is becoming more common in many branches of industry and online shopping. Traditional lines of work, such as goods transport and driving, are developing in a similar direction although mainly out of public view. Scientists at the University of Göttingen have now investigated how efficient （高效的）the use of AI can be in the commercial management of trucks."Digital applications-as well as machine leaning, a kind of AI-are increasingly applied to operations and courses in the transport area," explains Professor Matthias Klumpp from the Faculty of Economics. "The question in the commercial area, however, is whether or not this contributes to achieving goals."To answer this question, the researchers compared the work efficiency of truck drivers with their main use of AI applications. Looking at trade delivery by truck, they studied three groups：the first drove completely following human decision-making models；the second used a combination of human and machine；and the third depended completely on fully automated decisions.The researchers found that an intelligent combination of human work and decision-making abilities with AI applications promises the highest transport and driving efficiency. "On average, the second group achieved the most efficient transport trips, with the fewest interventions （干预）and off-course from the best path." one researcher said, "Clearly, neithera completely human decision-making structure nor a fully automated driving system can promise to meet current goods transport requirements." The scientists therefore summarized that despite the progress of AI in the field of transportation by truck, human experience and decision-making abilities will still be necessary in the longer term. However, the challenge is that a wide range of training and qualification （资格）needs will come along by working with AI applications, especially for simple goods transport activities.21.What does Matthias Klumpp focus on？______A. The efficiency of AI.B. The advantages of AI.C. The problems caused by AI.D. The wide applications of AI.22.How did the researchers get the finding______A. By providing examples.B. By making comparisons.C. By using different trucks.D. By listing three experiments.23.What can we know from the last paragraph？______A. AI is better at making decisions.B. A balance is needed between human and AI.C. Human will soon be replaced by AI in driving.D. AI applications meet the current requirements.24.What is the best title for the text______A. The future of transportB. Artificial intelligence as a co-driverC. Artificial intelligence-a better choice in drivingD. The strengths of artificial intelligence in transport三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）(2021·山东省潍坊市·期中考试)Due to its faraway location in the Pacific Ocean, New Zealand was one of the last countries to be discovered by humans. Although most of the current population are European descendants, it was the minority group known as the Maori who were the first to settle there. （1）______ .Maori arts are very popular with tourists. The Waka is a traditional canoe （独木舟）that has been skillfully carved out of a tree trunk, with beautiful carvings added to show tribal （部落的）history and culture.（2）______ . Visitors to Maori historic buildings can also see beautifully carved wooden architecture. In addition, there are countless smaller objects and masks that were made to honour ancestors or legends.（3）______ . It is made famous by New Zealand's national rugby union team,who often perform it before games. The kapa haka is a traditional dance performed for celebrations, special guests, and battle ceremonies. The performance includes different dances and songs that make up a whole.Traditional tattoos（文身），known as "moko"，are also a strong visual part of Maori culture.

A textbook.BThree weeks ago, we were living paycheck to paycheck. We survived on my husband’s low-paid job and my disability. We have kids. Also, I was experiencing a terrible tumor (肿瘤)on my neck, leaving me staying in bed in extreme pain, but the operation was to be $8,000, out of pocket, because Medicare only covers 80%.To take me to the hospital, my husband took a day off work. At 7 am, his boss called. He was being placed on paid leaving, waiting for an investigation into a mistake he had made at work.We both panicked. Having slowly worked our way out of poverty (贫穷) for 8 years, we were so close to being OK and it was all falling away. As my husband was a great worker, we decided to stay positive and hope for the best. However, two days later he received the official phone call-he was fired.Having no savings to pay bills, we cried hopelessly. We went to the welfare office only to be told that he couldn’t collect unemployment for 8 weeks, meaning he had the possibility of having $0 income for two months. It was terrifying.With only enough food to last for about a week, we applied for food stamps and Medicaid. Then we worked together- diving into job applications. After sending out resumes (简历)to everywhere in the field, he came across some promising companies. We kept our fingers crossed. Hopefully, we could get out of trouble as early as possible.Soon I got a phone call----my neck operation was going to be free now that we were poor again. And my husband got an email invitation for a video interview and it went great. He would be paid $3 more an hour than his last job. What a roller coaster ride!4. What was the family like before the husband got fired?A. They showed little concern for each other.B. They lived in an extremely poor area.C. They could hardly make ends meet.D. They led a rich and comfortable life.5. Why did the boss call the husband?A. To ask him about the truth.B. To tell him about a decision.C. To persuade him to quit his job.D. To warn him to mind his work attitude.6 What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 most probably mean?A. We were uncertain about our future.B. We waited hopelessly.C. We felt more and more nervous.D. We wished ourselves good luck7. What life lesson has the author learned from her experience?A. Many hands make light work.B. Actions speak louder than words.C. When one door shuts, another opens.D. One false step makes a great difference.CGoing on vacation can be challenging for people with physical disabilities. Hotels aren't always clear about how accessible (可进入)they are and the adaptive equipment needed to participate in certain activities can be expensive or difficult to get. This is where the online travel marketplace Wheel the World comes in. The website connects physically disabled people with special tour packages, depending on the person's needs.Today Wheel the World offers over 30 accessible destinations in the U.S. and abroad. They've served almost 900 disabled people, their family, and friends. Travelers can sign up for trips to destinations such as New York, Hawaii, Paris, London, and Kruger National Park in South Africa. Trip packages can include adaptive equipment such as wheelchairs, which can be used on the beach and in the ocean, and kayaks (皮艇)，which can help those disabled to kayak. The team also checks the accessibility of destinations themselves, evaluating（评估）things such as door widths, bed heights, bathrooms' accessibility and if lifts are functioning.Silberstein, the company's founder, says there are some trips that are suitable for blind people, though Wheel the World focuses on people with mobility（移动能力）issues. And in the future, they plan to include trips for people with hearing loss, and people with emotional disabilities. “One of the biggest barriers for travelers with physical disabilities is finding information about accessible trips, which is a gap（差距）Wheel the World aims to close,”says Silberstein.Wheel the World is working to enlarge tours in Europe —— currently their website lists London and Paris as the only destinations on the continent, but their eventual goal is much higher. “We want to allow millions of disabled people to travel to thousands of destinations,”Silberstein says.8. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To show the great success Wheel the World has gained.B. To tell us the difficulties the disabled face in life.C. To introduce the background of Wheel the World.D. To remind us of the problems with hotel service.9. What does Wheel the World focus on?A. Collecting travel information for tourists.B. Increasing the online sales of wheelchairs.C. Extending travel business to the whole world.D. Providing proper travel services for the disabled.10. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Silberstein has made significant contributions to global tourism.B. Wheel the World helps people with disabilities enjoy their vacations.C. Advanced equipment is enabling the disabled to travel around the world.D. Tour packages intended for blind and deaf tourists have won wide recognition.11. Which of the following can best describe Silberstein?A. Thoughtful and full-hearted.B. Determined and humorous.C. Flexible but aimless.D. Creative but hesitant.DLucy Hughes, a 24-year-oId English inventor, has used skin and scales (鳞)from fish to create a new kind of plastic that will break down in about six weeks. Her invention won this year's James Dyson Award.Ms. Hughes was very aware of how wasteful many products are. Plastic items (物品)，for example, are often made from new plastic, used once for a short time, and then thrown away. She decided to challenge herself to make something out of waste instead.Fishing is a big business in England, and the University of Sussex where Ms. Hughes studied wasn't far from the coast. She spent some time studying the fishing business, and the things that were thrown away. She was amazed by the amount of waste from fish that gets thrown away.After some tests, Ms. Hughes decided that the fish skin and scales seemed like the most likely parts for her product. But then she needed something to bind (hold the material together) with. She found that red algae (红藻)was the best binder.Ms. Hughes called her finished product “MarinaTex”, which is clear and feels like plastic, but stronger than regular plastic of the same thickness. MarinaTex is also cheap to make since it's made from fish waste. Ms. Hughes says that the waste from one Atlantic cod (a fish) could make 1,400 bags. The process of making MarinaTex also doesn't use much energy. Most importantly, MarinaTex doesn't take hundreds of years to break down.Ms. Hughes thinks that one of the best uses for MarinaTex will be in some kinds of food packaging（包装）where plastic is currently being used. Ms. Hughes is looking forward to moving ahead with her idea. She wants to try to make her recipe（配方）for making her plastic even better. She hopes the award money will help her with the process of getting MarinaTex into use as quickly as possible.12. Why did Lucy Hughes invent MarinaTex?A. To turn waste into treasure.B. To win James Dyson Award.C. To gain people's wide attention.D. To help the local fishing business.13. What is MarinaTex's greatest advantage over traditional plastic?A. It is of higher quality.B. It is more convenient to use.C. It s production cost is fairly low.D. It can break down in a short time.14. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. MarinaTex has been put to practical use.B. Lucy Hughes hopes for more fund support.C. Lucy Hughes intends to improve her invention.D. MarinaTex will replace regular plastic in food packaging.15. What can be the best title for the text?A. Red Algae: the Best Binder to Hold MaterialsB. Young Inventor Creates Plastic from Fish SkinC. Fish Waste Has Affected the Environment SeriouslyD.
