2020-2021学年江苏如皋中学高三英语上学期期末试卷及参考答案
2020-2021学年江苏如皋中学高三英语上学期期末试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIn the age of social distancing, using robots for some health care interactions is a promising way to reduce in-person contact between health care workers and sick patients. However, a key question is how patients will react to a robot entering the room. Researchers from MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital recently set out to answer that question.In a study, the team found that a large majority of patients reported that interacting with a health care provider through a video screen fixed on a robot was similar to an in-person interaction with a health care worker.“We’re working on robots that can help provide care to ensure the safety of the patient and the health care workforce. The results of this study give us some confidence that people are ready and willing to join us. In a larger online survey carried out nationwide, we also found that a majority of respondents were open to having robots perform small tasks such as taking a nose swab (拭子).” says Giovanni Traverso, an MIT assistant professor and the senior author of the study.After the COVID-19 pandemic began early last year, Traverso and his colleagues turned their attention toward new strategies to reduce interactions between potentially sick patients and health care workers. To that end, they created a mobile robot that could interact with patients as they waited in the emergency department. The robots were equipped with sensors that allow them to measure vital signs, including skin temperature, breathing rate, and pulse(脉搏) rate. The robots also carried an iPad for remote video communication with a health care provider.The study suggests that it could be worthwhile to develop robots that can perform tasks that currently require a lot of human effort, such as turning a patient over in bed. These days, turning COVID-19 patients onto their stomachs requires several people. Doing Covid-19 tests is another task that takes a lot of time and effort from health care workers, who could be arranged for other tasks if robots could help.1. Why did the researchers from MIT and BWH carry out the studies?A. To shorten the social distance between doctors and patients.B. To figure out the response of patients to robotic doctors.C. To reduce the risk of being infected with coronavirus.D. To ensure the safety of patients during the pandemic.2. What could be learned from the study?A. Robots are not welcomed by patients.B. Robots will soon replace doctors.C. Robots may help to deal with Covid-19 patients.D. Robots can operate on different patients.3. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. StrengthsAnd Weaknesses In Robot CareB. The Robotic Doctor Will See You NowC. The Robots Speed Up COVID-19 TestingD. The Development Of Robots In HospitalsBSome of my earliest memories involve sitting with my dad in his study every evening when he came home from the office. I’d watch as he put his personal items away: his watch, wallet, comb and car keys would always occupy the same spot on the table every time.Dad’s comb was bought when he married Mum. Every evening, he would smile, hand me the comb and say: “Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?” I was more than happy to do it. This seems amundanetask, but it brought me such joy at that time. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me, and place the comb on top of his wallet.About two years later, Dad started his own business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. Dad’s business wasn’t doing so well, and he didn’t come home as much as he used to. Over the years, I stopped waiting for him to come home.Today, I’ve graduated from college and Dad’s business are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me continued. Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early and said to me, “Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?” I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink. It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it. I brushed the comb, and it hit me then: why, as a child, helping my dad clean his comb was such a joy.I passed the clean comb back to Dad. This time, I noticed my day has aged. But his smile is still as heartwarming as before. Dad carefully places his comb on top of his wallet. After so many years, I guess some things never change. And for that, I’m glad.4. As a child, the author helped her dad clean his comb happily because ________.A. she was good at cleaning the combB. she thought that she should do that as a good girlC. her dad was home early to spend the evening with herD. the comb was important for her father and her mother5. Which of the following words can best replace the underlined wordmundanein paragraph two?A. importantB. excitingC. unnecessaryD. uninteresting6. When the author said, “It’s a new comb. I hadn’t noticed that he’d changed it.”, she felt ________.A. disappointedB. impatientC. tiredD. sorry7. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Evenings With Dad.B. How to Clean the Comb.C. My Memory with My Dad.D. I Love My Family Members.CWe've all heard it before：to be successful, get out of bed early. After all, Apple CEO Tim Cook gets up at 3：45 am, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne at 3：30 am and Richard Branson at 5：45 am﹣and, as we all know, "the early bird's catches the worm. "But just because some successful people wake up early, does that mean it's a trait most of them share？And if the idea of having exercised, planned your day, eaten breakfast, visualized and done one task before 8 am makes you want to roll over and hit snooze till next Saturday, are you really doomed to a less successful life？For about half of us, this isn't really an issue. It's estimated that some 50% of the population isn't really morning or evening﹣oriented, but somewhere in the middle. Roughly one in four of us, though, tend more toward bright﹣eyed early risers, and another one in four are night owls. For them, the effects can go beyond falling asleep in front of the TV at 10 pm or being regularly late for work.Numerous studies have found that morning people are more self﹣directed and agreeable. And compared to night owls, they plan for the future more and have a better sense of well﹣being.Although morning types may achieve more academically, night owls tend to perform better on measures of memory, processing speed and cognitive（认知）ability, even when they have to perform those tasks in the morning. Night﹣time people are also more open and more creative. And one study shows that night owls areashealthy and wise as morning types﹣and a little bit wealthier.Still think the morning people sound more like CEO material？Don't set your alarm for 5 am Just yet. As it turns out, overhauling（全面改革）your sleep time may not have much effect"If people are left to their naturally preferred time, they feel much better. They say that they are much more productive. The mental capacity they have is much broader, " says Oxford University biologist Katharina Wulff. On the other hand, she says, pushing people too far out of their natural preference can be harmful. When they wake early, for example, night owls are still producing melatonin（褪黑素）. "Then you disrupt it and push the body to be in the daytime mode. That can have lots of negative physiological consequence. " Wulff says, like a different sensitivity to insulin and glucose（葡萄糖）which can cause weight gain.8. What does the authordo in the first three paragraph？A. raising the problem→analyzing the problem → solving the problemB. leading in the topic→challenging a viewpoint → discussing about the topicC. presenting a viewpoint → providing supporting proofs→making a conclusionD. introducing a viewpoint →raising the question→presenting author's viewpoint9. What can we know from the 4th and 5th paragraph？A. Morning types tend to have clear goals and better mood.B. To beat night﹣time people ask them to do math calculation in themorning.C. Night owls tend to sacrifice their health for their wealth.D. Neither night owls nor morning persons perform better than the middle ones.10. Which of the following does Katharina Wulff support？A. Don't fall sleep in front of the TV.B. Avoid being regularly late for work.C. Stop setting your alarm for 5 am.D. Better not overhaul your sleep time.11. Why does the author write this article？A. To explain why some people are more successful.B.To compare the differences between early risersand night owls.C. To advise people to get up neither too early nor too late.D. To argue against this view that the Carly bird catches the worm.DThe outbreak of the novel corona virus pneumonia (NCP) has disrupted the lives and work of nearly every Chinese person. However, a new trend has been on the rise: many have turned themselves into livestreaming users orfollowers.According to Questmobile, a professional big data intelligence services provider in China, the audience for Douyin, Kuaishou and other livestreaming platforms surged to 574 million during the Spring Festival holiday, up 35 percent from 2019.Confined at home, away from their friends and loved ones, people turn to livestreaming to reach out to the world. For them livestreaming can help them share their lives and interest with a global audience, which will give them the sense of being “in the moment”. Even as viewers, they can also engage immediately with livestreamers by commenting and making suggestions.“When I comment on the livestreaming videos, I’m not simply an audience member, but also an active part of the program. That gives me a sense of engagement,” an Internet user named Wang Hao told People’s Daily.Livestreaming is not only for fun, but also a new tool for many businesses. Affected by the pandemic, many businesses had to stop their sales in physical stores. To meet their business goals and survive during these trying times, many chose to livestream to revive their businesses.Joyoung, a leading maker of small kitchen appliances, is a good example. The company not only added a number of broadcasts each day to advertise their products, but also shared the menus that were beneficial to health. “The responses to our livestreaming shows have been well beyond expectations,” Kang Li, who oversees the company’s livestreaming unit, told China daily. “It’s a natural opportunity to truly bond with our followers.”Like it or not, livestreaming is likely to go mainstream in China for both entertainment and business.12. What is the purpose of writing the second paragraph?A. To introduce some popular livestreaming platforms in China.B. To report data on the development of livestreaming in 2019.C. To show that Chinese people spend too much time on livestreaming apps.D. To prove that livestreaming are becoming increasingly popular in China.13. What does Wang Hao think of commenting on livestreaming?A. It is boring to make comments.B. It is the only way to share viewers’ lives.C. It makes people feel involved in the stream.D. It helps livestreamers improve themselves.14. What do paragraphs 5&6 mainly talk about?A. Livestreaming replaced physical stores in many areas.B. Many businesses turned to livestreaming platform for marketing.C. Livestreaming platforms faced challenges during the pandemic.D. Livestreaming platforms made changes to their services.15. How does the author feel about thefuture of livestreaming？A. Positive.B. Uncertain.C. Disappointed.D. Confused.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

2021-2022学年江苏省如皋中学高一上学期期末教学考试英语试题

But people with diabetes (糖尿病) have to be careful about eating sweet food.Diabetes is a metabolic (代谢的) disease. If a patient’s blood sugar is not well controlled, serious problems can occur. A patient may experience dizziness (头晕) and tiredness, but also have kidney failure, blindness and heart disease, according to Medical News Today.But a new research may make it possible to “treat diabetes by eating biscuits”. Researchers from Peking University and East China Normal University successfully developed a new cell using synthetic (合成的) biology technology. Their study was published in Nature Chemical Biology in November.In their research, diabetic mice implanted (植入) with the cells can increase insulin (胰岛素) levels and lower blood sugar as long as they eat specific amino acid (氨基酸) biscuits. It only takes 90 minutes for the mice to reduce their blood sugar, which is equivalent to the time after an insulin injection (注射), Liu Tao, one of the authors, told Science and Technology Daily.This kind of biscuit does not directly lower blood sugar levels, but is a “key” to insulin. The special amino acids in the biscuits help to start the insulin translation process. The end result is controlled blood sugar, according to Ye Haifeng, one of the authors.“This unnatural amino acid is similar to the ingredients added in many health drinks and is very friendly to the human body,” Liu told Science and Technology Daily. Maybe one day, people will need to take artificial amino acids before meals, or eat foods containing artificial amino acids suitable for diabetics, so they can control their blood sugar.Although scientists in synthetic biology have paved the way for possible future treatments, their findings won’t be ready for patients anytime soon. “Synthetic biology is still an early-stage discipline (学科) in regards to the traditional diabetes therapeutic (治疗的) development timeline, with most technologies currently in the preclinical stages in the lab,” Ira Pastor, CEO of the life sciences company Bioquark, told US News.4. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Why diabetes is a metabolic disease.B．Serious problems caused by diabetes.C．Blood sugar’s effects on the metabolic system.D．Diseases that can affect blood sugar.5. How did the blood sugar of the diabetic mice decrease in the study?A．Scientists implanted cells that can directly lower blood sugar.B．Scientists gave them biscuits with less sugar.C．The implanted cells and the specific amino acids increased insulin.D．The amino acid biscuits they ate contained insulin.6. How does the special amino acid work?A．It transforms blood sugar into an acid.B．It helps start the insulin translation process.C．It clears ingredients unfriendly to the human body.D．It allows the injected insulin to work better.7. Which of the following would Ira Pastor agree with?A．Synthetic biology proves the most effective solution to diabetes.B．Synthetic biology is developing quickly at present.C．Many traditional therepeutic diabetes technologies are out of date.D．There remains a long way for this therapy to enter hospitals.While most TV stations and video-streaming platforms try to attract viewers by producing star-studded (明星荟萃的) reality shows, Henan TV has gone viral by promoting traditional culture through Chinese dance.This year, Henan TV produced seven dance pieces highlighting traditional culture, such as Rhapsody on the Luo River Goddess (《洛神水赋》), a two-minute underwater dance，and Dragon Boat Festival and Guardian Warriors of Longmen (《龙门金刚》), a dance piece supported by AR technology against the backdrop of the Longmen Grottoes. “The seven dance pieces have gained nearly 30 billion hits on social media platforms,” said Yao Wei, director of the TV station’s Innovation Center. “It’s a huge success for Henan TV.”Last month, Yao was invited to talk about how the TV station had produced the hit dance pieces at a three-day forum (论坛) centering on the research of Chinese dance. The pieces made an emotional impact on audiences, most of whom are members of Gen Z (people born between 1995 and 2009), Yao said. “It’s been over forty years since the country’s reform and opening-up and the younger generations have grown up with a more open mindset. With plenty of resources and opportunities, they embrace Chinese culture and are proud of it,” said Yao. “What we need to do is present Chinese culture and tra dition in interesting ways for those young people.” Yao added that Henan TV has been producing shows highlighting traditional culture, such as traditional operas and kung fu, for nearly 30 years. “To appeal to younger audiences, we are also changing our sh ows. One of the keys is to produce content with strong visual (视觉的) creativity,” Yao said. “For example, the latest technology and unconventional (新奇的) stage settings, like underwater scenes, have become our new ways of telling stories about traditional Chinese culture, rather than simply narrating (讲述) history with traditional video content.”Another key to successfully reaching younger audiences is using social media platforms to promote their shows. “Social media is being shaped and driven by young people. It’s a powerful form of communication. When they take a quick scroll (滚屏) through their phones, they easily become interested in an eye-catching video,” Yao said.8. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Henan TV?B．its reality show featuring stars.A．its cooperation with social mediaplatform.C．its popular hit dance pieces. D．its innovation in technology.9. What can be inferred from paragraph 3?A．It took a long time for the younger generations to accept traditional culture.B．The success of Henna TV lies in the way to stimulate audiences’ interest.C．Traditional operas and kung fu no longer appeal to the younger generations.D．Successful TV shows can never be made without the latest technology.10. What does the underlined “they” in paragr aph 4 refer to?A．social media platforms B．forms of communicationC．TV shows D．younger audiences11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．TV shows celebrating tradition gains popularity.B．How technology helps promote traditional culture.C．Traditional Chinese dance makes its comeback.D．Gen Z embrace traditional Chinese culture.Last December, Warner Bros announced that its entire 2021 slate (提名) of releases would be going digital in the US, its most important market. It’s li kely the same will happen in Britain too. This means that most people will be watching the most blockbusters (大片) such as Dune and the fourth Matrix film, not in cinemas, but on the small screen.However, it’s not just about the pandemic. COVID has merely accelerated existing trends, because film streaming and the role of Big Tech in the film industry is shaking up the entire economics of filmmaking.Today, the biggest players in the film industry are streaming services. There’s Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, and US telecoms company AT&T, which owns Warner, has its own streaming service in the US called HBO Max, which is expected to launch worldwide this year. And this changes everything. For instance, though Hollywood has always had some creative accounting practices, it now seems completely reasonable that films do not have to make a profit in order to be successful. Why? Because instead of worrying about selling tickets to individual films, these companies are much more interested in maintaining your monthly subscription (订阅) fee, with their investments paying off not in the short term at the box office, but in the long run.Streaming is also changing the form of what we watch. For instance, when Disney decided to make Star Wars spin-off (周边产品) The Mandalorian, it made it as an eight-part TV show, not a movie. This wasn’t a trick to save money. But it’s because the more important thing for streaming services is increasing the time you’ve spent watching. If you watch as the show is released week-by-week, you’ll have to keep subscribing for two whole months in order to follow it through to its conclusion. Perhaps the strangest transformation though is the business models behind the streaming services. For everyone aside from Netflix, film and TV is just a valuable form of advertisement for where they really make their money.The only reason Apple has a streaming service is because it’s a source of recurring (循环的) interests. Over time a monthly fee is more valuable than a one-off iPhone purchase, and is more likely to lock you into another iPhone purchase in the future, if they can watch Apple TV on it.Disney actually makes most of its money from the selling of its resort holiday packages to its Disney theme parks. What Disney really wants you to do is book a pricey trip to Disney World in Florida. Disney+ is really about making your kids fall in love with their characters.And what about Amazon? It is all about Amazon Prime, the company’s subscription service that bundles (免费附送) its streaming offerings with its other products and services, such as free shipping on goods. Once the company had hooked you in with the promise of some blockbuster films and TV shows… Well, you’ll suddenly find yourself buying a lot more from Amazon too.12. According t o the passage, what’s the consequence of Warner Bros’ announcement last December?A．People in US and Britain will not watch blockbusters in cinemas.B．There is no need for people to pay for films after they going digital.C．All Warner Bros’ film release will go digital in 2021.D．A majority of viewers will watch new films online instead of in cinema.13. How is Big Tech changing the film industry?A．Steaming services are now having power over the film industry.B．Streaming companies don’t care about what users watch.C．The film industry no longer makes a profit from its films.D．The film industry is now only focusing on short-term profits.14. Why have many enterprises started their own streaming services?A．To overcome the inconvenience caused by the pandemic.B．To help them sell their products with appealing services.C．To get consumers to become more familiar with their products.D．To provide consumers with more choices and better services.15. Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A．Consumers can book Disney theme park trips on Dinsney+.B．Disney began making TV shows to reduce the cost of production.C．Apple may attract potential customers with its Apple TV+.D．Amazon offers subscription services in order to promote its films.Jenny Carter, 27, an NHS co-ordinator, is an “extreme night owl”, one of about 8.2% of the population whose natural habit is to fall asleep well after midnight. Left to her own devices, she’d prefer to go to bed around 3 am and wake up about noon.16 There is no single universally accepted theory, but evolutionary (进化的) biologists think that communities with more variation in types may have been more likely to survive. 17 Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford, says this mirrors differences in hair, eye and skin colour, or height.Natural night owls are fundamentally different to insomniacs (失眠患者) or people who stay up until the early hours because of family or work conditions. 18 But this isn’t always well understood. Jessica Batchelor is a medical writer who feels most productive at 11 pm. “I can’t tell anyone when I went to sleep, woke up, showered, or ate a meal without being judged,” she says. “I struggle with feelings of guilt and shame.” 19Our culture mistakenly connects sleeping little and rising early with virtue. It is often praised as a habit of successful people: for instance in the fascination with Margaret Thatcher’s four-hour rest, or articles about “sleepless-elite” CEOs who start thei r days with a 4 am jog.Yet this gives an untrue idea of an obvious inconsistency. 20I was with my mom one day as we took a walk while window shopping. We both knew we wouldn’t be buying much.I remember I was looking up at the people we _________. Ladies wore five-inch heels and bright clothing. Men wore expensive scents (香水) and creams that might wipe away (擦去) the wrinkles (皱纹) on their faces.An uneasy feeling started to _________ in my chest. I could deny it no longer; I was _________ of my mother.We were in a high-class neighborhood－I knew that. We lived in a small, _______ apartment building at the edge of our county. Mom chose to move there because she knew the schools were good. I realized for the first time that we didn’t _________ there.I could see the heavy _________ around mom’s eyes and mouth. She wore cheap clo thes and worn-out shoes. Her eyes were tired from working long hours to make ends meet, and her hair was too_________ for her age.My mom is nothing extraordinary, _________ at that moment, she stood out because she was just so _________. I didn’t want to be seen with her, although there was no one important around to see me anyway. I felt embarrassed about being at her side.We were standing in the middle of a high-end store, and mom was holding a sweater.She said, “This will look __________ on you.

江苏省如皋市2019-2020学年高一上学期期末英语试题(word无答案)
江苏省如皋市2019-2020学年高一上学期期末英语试题(word无答案)一、阅读理解(★★)1 . If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. So it may become part of your “inner speech.” In other words, you start thinking in that language. Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into the second language. But most of the English learners live in places where English is not the main language. This may be true for you. You may not have many chances to practice English. You may even be self-taught.Thinking in English really helps! It is not very difficult, but it does need practice. Here we will share some mental exercises. A good first step is to think in words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. Charles Thomas has taught English for over 10 years. He tells his students to name the things that they see around them, wherever they are.Another exercise Thomas sug gest is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”. Thomas says, “If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You can say, ‘The place inside where I put my car’ or you can say, ‘It’s next to my house.I keep things there.’”The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It’s such a beautiful day” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” You can also describe your daily activities. Thomas asks his students to describe their day using the simple present verb form. So, they would think to themselves things like, “I put on my s hirt” and “He drives the bus.”How much time should you spend on these exercises? Thomas says you do a little every day. “When you make things a habit, then it just pops up into your mind without thinking and then, before you know it, really, you’re thinking in English.”【小题1】When a second language becomes part of your “inner speech”, ________. A．most people around you speak the languageB．you start thinking in the languageC．you translate things from your native language into itD．you learn the language by yourself【小题2】“The place inside where I put my car” is an example for ________ A．naming objects in your surroundingsB．thinking in simple sentencesC．describing objects you don’t know the words forD．describing your daily activities【小题3】Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．Spend your time on exercisesB．Teach yourself a second languageC．Train your brain to think in EnglishD．Practice English wherever you are(★★)2 . Robots have taken over many of America’s factories. But can they pick a strawberry? “It’s really hard for robots to match what humans can do,” says Bob Pizter, an expert on robots.Any 4-year-old kid can pick a strawberry, but machines can’t seem to figure it ou t. Pizter says the hardest thing for them is finding the fruit. Pizter’s strawberry-picking robot is rolling into a strawberry field. This well-designed device drives itself. It’s as big as a bus, long enough to straddle (跨越) a dozen rows of strawberries at once. Powerful computers are sitting on top. Underneath, there are high-definition cameras to find the berries, and robotic claws ready to pick them.“Nobody’s telling it what to do,” explains Paul Bissett, the chief operating officer of Harvest CR OO Robotics. “It’s remembering its path down the row. It’s remembering where all these plants are.” It knows all this, thanks to the super-accurate GPS. Its computer brain contains a map showing the locations of every strawberry plant in the field. The action of machinery is truly impressive, but the baskets are still practically empty. Pitzer says the robots are able to find and pick more than 50 percent of ripe berries. That’s not yet up to human standards. A typical worker, he says, manages to pick anywhere from 60 to 90 percent of the berries. Also, he admits, the machine is slower than human hands. On the other hand, it has some advantages. It can work right through the night. Two years later, he says, this machine will be in the fields working for real. “There are weaknesses to work out, but it’s getting there. We’re close.” he says.Strawberry companies are putting millions of dollars into this project. The reason, Gary Wishnatzki, the owner of Wish Farms says, is that it’s getting more and more difficult to findenough people to pick his berries. “The fact of the matter is, if we don’t solve the problem of this labor shortage with automation, the industry is facing a big challenge ahead. The price of fruit is going to be much higher,” Jose Santos, the leader of the farm, says.Jose is pretty convinced, though, that picking strawberries will always require people. The machines will break down, he points out. In fact, he’s looking on the bright side. “You could afford to give people a day off if you have machines behind you,” he says.【小题1】According to the passage, the strawberry-picking robot __________. A．can work extra hours B．relies on GPS only to find berriesC．runs on petrol just like a bus D．picks both ripe and unripe berries【小题2】What do people mentioned in the passage think of the strawberry-picking robot? A．It will lead to the price of strawberries rising.B．It keeps human workers working through night.C．It is not very efficient at the moment but promising.D．It will completely take the place of human workers.【小题3】We know from the article that __________. A．robots have been widely used in farmingB．it seems hard for robots to exactly locate strawberries nowC．robots can surely perform any work better than human workersD．with the help of robots, strawberry companies have already earned much【小题4】What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The working principle of strawberry-picking robots.B．Farmers’ expectations for strawberry-picking robots.C．The present state of strawberry-picking robots.D．The differences between humans and strawberry-picking robots.(★★)3 . Rumors (谣言): we've all heard some and we've all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share informationhas also changed.The fact is that rumors have great potential to upset things, whether socially or personally. We don't enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don't have good intentions. They are somewhat veiled (掩饰的) messages.Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor.Another property (属性) of rumors is that they tend to become viral. Each receiver is at the same time a potential transmitter (传输者) of the information. The receiver often adds their own opinion. Their manner and tone of transmitting it also changes it.How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from communicating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor.One rumor to be especially cautious of is a rumor about groups relatively unable to defend themselves. That's why we say, "History is always told by the winners." The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor's version of the story.【小题1】What can we learn about rumors? A．We have all heard some and believed them.B．We're happy to be the receiving end of them.C．They may have negative influence on society.D．They often hide good intentions in the messages.【小题2】How are rumours like a tree? A．Rumours keep changing, just as trees change their colour.B．Rumours are deeply rooted in reality, like tree roots in the earth.C．New rumours have gaps, like the space between tree branches.D．New rumours grow out of the original, like branches out of a trunk.【小题3】What does the underlined word ‘viral’ in Para 4 probably mean? A．Something easily spread.B．Something acceptable.C．Something easily defended.D．Something beneficial.【小题4】Which of the following may the author agree with? A．It is easy to prevent people from spreading rumors.B．People are often active in judging the rumors critically.C．We should think about the hidden message of the rumors.D．Stories told by the victors are usually better worth trusting.(★★)4 . Slowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. From smart-home security to self-driving cars, all the internet-connected devices in your life will be able to talk to each other at lightning-fast speeds with reduced delay, Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U. S. top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But by comparison 5G promises gigabit (千兆) speeds.“5G is one of those signs, along with artificial intelligence, of this coming data age,” said Steve Koenig, se nior director of market research for the Consumer Technology Association. “The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age, and that is to say, it is a sign of time, because with one single task, driving, you have massive amounts of data coming from the vehicle itself, and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information to model its environment as it moves. It’s pulling in data from other vehicles about road conditions down the lane. It could be weather information, but also connected infrastructure (基础设施) construction. There’s lots of data behind that task, which is why we need high speed.Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset haven’t yet broken the mainstream, but tech companies are joyfully betting that these devices will eventually replace our smartphones. With 5G, that could actually happen. This is notable because companies such as Apple are reportedly developing AR glasses to assist — or perhaps even replace — smartphones.Ericsson stated at February’s Mobile Wo rld Congress how smart glasses could become fasterand lighter with a 5G connection, because instead of being weighed down with components, the glasses could rely on hardware for processing power.But don’t get too excited. There’s still a lot of wor k to be done in the meantime, including various trials to make sure the radios play nicely with hardware and infrastructure construction so 5G isn’t concentrated only in big cities.【小题1】What does the author want to stress in Paragraph 1? A．The lighting-fast speed of 5G.B．The expectation of 5G world.C．The difference between 4G and 5G.D．The internet-connected devices in our life.【小题2】What does the underlined word “emblem” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Exhibition.B．Success.C．Symbol.D．Explanation.【小题3】We can infer from the text that ________. A．5G world won’t come without AR glassesB．5G helps to create the artificial intelligence vehicleC．Apple company is developing AR glasses worldwideD．Tech companies will face the fact that smartphones may be replaced【小题4】What will the author probably tell us next? A．How to fully expand 5G coverage.B．Smart glasses will become faster and lighter.C．Why 5G isn’t concentrated in big cities.D．The importance of infrastructure construction.二、七选五(★★)5 . Environmental pollution kills 1.7 million children under the age of five every year worldwide. This is according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO warns that child deaths will increase greatly if pollution continues to worsen.The most common causes of death among children aged one month to five years are diarrhea, malaria and pneumonia. This is according to the WHO.【小题1】. This means providing access to safe water and sanitation, limiting exposure to dangerous chemicals, and improving waste management.【小题2】The WHO estimates that air pollution is responsible for about 6.5 million premature, or early deaths every year. That number includes nearly 600,000 deaths of children under age five. Most of these deaths take place in developing countries.Air pollution is a leveler between rich and poor, according to WHO environment and health chief Maria Neira. 【小题3】And one of the most important ways to reduce air pollution is to produce clea ner fuels for cooking and heating. “Almost half of the world population is using dirty fuels for cooking, heating, and lighting at home. And, this is affecting very much mothers who are staying and cooking at home, but the children who are around mothers -- they are exposed as well. ” Early exposure to harmful pollutants can lead to increased risk of chronic respiratory disease, asthma, heart disease, stroke and cancer later in life.Cleaning up how the world cooks, heats and lights homes and other buildings is a big- picture goal. The WHO is advising government departments and industries such as construction and the health sector to work together to clean up their environment.【小题4】. The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency has the following suggestions：• Avoid walking where there is a high volume of vehicle traffic.•【小题5】• Limit your time outside if you live in an area that issues warnings about air quality.• Wear high-grade, rated face masks tightly to the face when air quality is poor.• Remove your clothes and wash immediately after entering your house if you live or commute in a very polluted area.A．However, of all the environmental pollutants, air pollution is being called the most dangerous.B．But what can individuals do to limit our family's exposure to air pollution?C．Therefore, the WHO stresses that governments around the world need to take the lead on ensuring that children grow up in a clean environment.D．The organization also says reducing environmental risks can prevent such deaths.E．A polluted environment is a deadly one—particularly for young children.F．Everybody, she says, needs to breathe.G．Equip homes with air filters and air conditioning units.三、完形填空(★★)6 .

If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day.

Another exercise Thomas suggest is describing in your mind objects you don’t know the words for. An example would be if you couldn’t think of the word “garage”. Thomas says, “If you’re looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can’t think of the name in English. You can say, ‘The place inside where I put my car’ or you can say, ‘It’s next to my house. I keep things there.’”
A．naming objects in your surroundings

C．describing objects you don’t know the words for
D．describing your daily activities
