重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷
重庆市第一中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期期末考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Lonely Planet’s best in travel destinations for 2024 revealed To mark its 50th anniversary, Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2024 has expanded from the top 10 best cities, countries, and regions to include two new categories of best value and best sustainable destinations, recognising a total of 50 locations across the globe offering amazing experiences to enjoy in 2024.Spain tops the sustainable travel list, having taken enormous strides to boost off-season travel, expand renewable energy, spread visitors across the year, and bring tourism to previously overlooked destinations.Wales too has been recognised as one of those leading the way in sustainability, thanks to its rebuilt railways expanding the possibilities of exploring the nation’s wild, wonderful west.And bouncing back strongly from the 2020 bushfires is Kangaroo Island, which remains one of South Australia’s great ecotourism destinations.Slow Travel, a favourite topic with Lonely Planet readers, is celebrated by highlighting the Portuguese Way hiking trail and the continued rise of night trains in Europe.Meanwhile the popular sun-kissed country of Croatia is now easier to explore with the opening of the Peljesac Bridge shining a spotlight on the previously overlooked Peljesac Peninsula and a new highway means it’s now possible to travel directly between Split and Dubrovnik.Algeria, the USA’s Midwest, Greek island of Ikaria and Normandy are just a few of those great value and often overlooked destinations, ideal for the cost-conscious traveller.For those seeking to enjoy the great outdoors, the new Western Balkans’ Cycle Route is set to open in 2024 and Far North Scotland is bidding for UNESCO status for its unsung boggy area and a coastline of heartbreaking beauty.1．Lonely Planet’s has expanded Best in Travel 2024 mainly to ________.A．Response to negative comments on previous lists.B．Fill diversity in Travel Preferences.C．Mark its 50th anniversary.D．Respond to a decline in travel interest.2．What transport development in Croatia makes it easier to explore?A．Opening of the Peljesac Bridge.B．Expansion of renewable energy.C．Repair and rebuilding of railways.D．Building a new highway in Ikaria. 3．For those who love cycling, which place is most appealing?A．North Scotland.B．Croatia.C．Greek.D．WesternBalkans.In October 2023, 3-year-old Journey Castillo completed a quest to visit all 63 of America’s national parks. Her parents, Eric and Valerie Castillo, said she is likely the youngest person to reach that milestone.The family, from San Antonio, Texas, ended their travels with a trip to Katmai National Park and Preserve in Alaska. “Mission complete,” they wrote on Instagram. “After three years of adventure, countless logistics work and not giving up, we could not be more proud to share the conclusion of our quest.” Journey hasn’t been officially verified as the youngest traveler to visit all 63 parks. But more important than the title, her parents say, is the experience.“Our thing was: ‘Let’s… inspire in Journey a passion for nature, inspire in her that she can handle the strenuous parts of the traveling: the environments, the weather changes, different cultures.” Valerie Castillo told The Guardian’s Ramon Antonio Vargas.Before she could walk, Journey Castillo’s parents set out to visit every national park in the U.S. They hiked up Pikes Peak and explored Rocky Mountain National Park, all with an infant in tow. As far as they could tell, Journey seemed to enjoy herself.“We could see her little eyes open and take it all in,” Valerie Castillo told the San Antonio Express-News last year. “She was so aware, even being a few days old. She’s adapted so well.”They then ventured to Grand Canyon National Park — and decided to keep going. They set a goal of visiting 21 parks by Journey’s first birthday, then 42 parks by her second birthday. Eventually, they decided to go for all 63 parks. The family has been documenting every step of the way on Instagram and their website, Journey Go Explore.Reaching the last few parks on their list — all in Alaska — required lots of logistical management, including renting flights, ferry rides, and even special permission from theNational Park Service to visit a seasonally closed park. Though their visit was challenging at times, the Castillos say it helped their daughter develop confidence. Journey walks fearlessly through airports and happily greets park rangers. “When she’s out at these parks, she comes to life, and her personality brightens up,” Eric Castillo said.4．Why did Journey Castillo’s parents take her to visit all America’s national parks?A．To inspire others to be more active.B．To document their travels on Instagram.C．To inspire a passion for nature in Journey.D．To break a record as the youngest traveler.5．What does the underlined word “strenuous” probably mean in the third paragraph?A．identical B．appealing C．mild D．challenging 6．What did the parents perceive about Journey during their visits to national parks?A．She was uninterested in the surroundings.B．She adapted well and seemed to enjoy herself.C．She preferred staying indoors with her parents.D．She only enjoyed specific environments and attractions.7．How did Eric Castillo describe Journey’s personality during those travels?A．Shy and introverted.B．Reliable and anxious.C．Fearful and splendid.D．Enthusiastic and confident.“Don’t be a victim.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear a lot if you take a crime-prevention class. Basically, it means that there are steps you can take to reduce the likelihood that you’ll be mugged, assaulted, or otherwise attacked. Don’t wave your cash around like you’re a billionaire. Don’t be distracted on the subway. Walk with a purpose.That last one is particularly important, because according to a new study from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, some criminals are very good at sensing weakness based on the way you walk. Actually, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted in a personal interview in 1985 that “he could tell a victim by the way she walked down the street, the tilt of her head, the manner in which she carried herself, etc…” Unfortunately, research demonstrated the reality that criminals do in fact look for, or at least notice certain characters when selecting potential victims. While nothing excuses crime, knowledge is power in the sense that there are things we can do to protect ourselves when we are out alone.In the report titled “Psychopathy and Victim Selection” the researchers surveyed 47 criminals at a maximum-security prison in Ontario and found that social predators are very good at picking victims based on their posture and gait(步伐). They noted that people might be releasing vulnerability to criminals through their postures, gestures, and exaggerated movements.The researchers secretly filmed 12 people walking — eight women and four men, some of whom had been attacked before. Then, they showed the video to a group of criminals and asked them whether or not each person would make a good victim. These “victim ratings” were then compared against each person’s actual history of victimization. Sure enough, the people whom the criminals picked as “likely victims” were usually the ones who had been victimized in the past. These people were often said to have “walked like an easy target” — slowly, unfocused, with short steps.The sample size here is really small. Maybe we shouldn’t give this study’s findings too much weight. Nevertheless, it emphasizes something that seems pretty unconscious. Criminals aren’t looking for a challenge. Rather, they want someone timid and inattentive. So stride down the street like you own it. Your new, aggressive gait may scare off criminals. And even if this study turns out to be total bullshit, you’ll still get where you’re going a lot faster. 8．Why does the author mention the serial killer Ted Bundy?A．To call on more people to learn psychology.B．To prove that someone can be a natural criminal.C．To demonstrate some skills to distinguish criminals.D．To emphasize the importance of the right walking habit.9．How did the researchers conduct their research on victim selection?A．By analyzing crime data in various neighborhoods.B．By filming people walking and getting criminals’ opinions.C．By filming criminals as they selected their potential victims.D．By studying the psychology of crime victims in a maximum-security prison. 10．According to the research which gait will most attract criminals’ attention?A．Distracted walking with short steps.B．Purposeful walking with slow steps.C．Walking with a group of people cheerfully.D．Walking with confident and exaggerated movements.11．What’s the author’s attitude toward walking confidently and aggressively?A．Favorable.B．Doubtful.C．Disapproving.D．Indifferent.I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian, and none of my six regular jobs have anything to do with foreign policy, but the other day I opened Twitter (now called X) after some time offline, only to find people I don’t know demanding that I make a public statement about what’s happening in the Middle East. It seemed that most of the people on social media had made a statement, including various well-known brands, celebrities and lifestyle influencers.I saw lots of random citizens being told that if they didn’t speak out, they, too, would have blood on their hands. Taking a stand on social media instantly will win wild applause but reduces complex issues to a simple yes or no.Those social media posts without serious thinking are not what bother me most, though. Instead, it’s the idea that not posting is wrong — that everyone needs to speak, all the time. It discourages shutting up and listening and letting the voices that matter the most be heard over the noise. It implies it’s not OK to have any uncertainty about what’s going on. It does not leave time or space for people to process disturbing events in their own minds or to gather more information before pronouncing a judgment. It pressures people who don’t have an opinion yet or are working out what they think to produce one opinion immediately and present it to an audience of total strangers on the Internet who will quickly judge whether it’s appropriate or not.“Nothing pays off like self-control of tongue and pen,” writes A．A．’s co-founder Bill Wilson. “We must avoid quick-tempered criticism and extreme anger,” which he calls “emotional idiot got trapped by pride and revenge.” While I’ve regretted posting half-formed thoughts too quickly, I’ve never regretted waiting until I was less angry or not posting at all. 12．Why does the author mention his/her race and jobs in the first paragraph?A．To reflect the author’s professional research background.B．To introduce the topic of the widespread use of social media.C．To discuss the impact of social media violating personal privacy.D．To express dissatisfaction with commenting on something without personal ties. 13．What bothered the author most about social media posts?A．Pressure to take a stand.B．Shutting up and listening.C．Lack of diversity in opinions.D．Complex issues reduced to yes or no.14．What can we infer based on what Bill Wilson said?A．Avoiding creating argument is a virtue.B．Quick-tempered criticism is rewarding.C．Producing immediate opinion is an ability.D．Control of what you say and write is beneficial.15．Which would be the best title for this text?A．“Speak Out for the Disadvantages in a Social Media Age”B．“I Don’t Have To Post About My Anger, Neither Do You”C．“Silence Is Golden: A Guide to Ignoring World Issues Like a Pro”D．“Keep Angry, Keep Reasonable: Avoiding the Mess on Social Media”How to Have Open CommunicationWhen you can communicate openly, you can start improving your relationships, both personal and professional, in a number of ways. 16 There are a few things that you can do when you have an open conversation.17 Be mindful of where and when you need to have a discussion with someone, especially if you are having an important disagreement. Someone is not likely to be open when communicating if you are surrounded by family or out in public. Therefore, have a discussion when it’s more convenient for both you and your partner.Have patience. When emotions are high, it can be easy to be swept in those feelings and want to get all your points across. But this can make communication more difficult because you are so focused on your feelings that you aren’t able to focus on what you need to say. Be patient and allow for silences that happen. 18Take the time to listen to what the other person is saying. 19 This allows you to see if there is any misunderstanding and allows you the time to understand his words accurately. You don’t need to agree on all his words, but it is important to understand where they’re coming from.Be honest with your thoughts and your feelings. Sometimes we feel the need to soften our words to lessen the blow. 20 After all, when we leave out certain details, we’re not able to communicate openly. You need to be honest with your partner about your needsand your experiences. By doing so, you’re hopefully closer to being able to tackle the issue.A．Wait for the appropriate time and place.B．Discuss what you need to communicate openly.C．Bring something positive into your communication.D．This could be because we don’t want to hurt the other person.E．Ask questions if you need to and even repeat what he has said.F．Open communication increases trust and helps bridge differences.G．Sometimes you need time to think and accurately express yourself.二、完形填空Krista Sheneman was diagnosed with diabetes (糖尿病) around five years ago.

2020-2021学年重庆第一中学高二上学期期末英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择To win an Oscar is an achievement at any age. To do so at 22, as Jennifer Lawrence has, is just amazing. Recently, the American star won Best Actress at Academy Awards for her role in the film The Silver Linings Playbook. According to Time magazine’s Richard Corliss, Lawrence is that rare young actress who “lends a mature intelligence to any ro1e”. Though Lawrence has found great success through her big screen work, Lawrence wasn't sure what she really liked doing before the age of l4. She thought she’d go to college and may be find a career as a doctor or a travel agent.Lawrence’s two brothers were star athletes and one of them was a straight-A student. Unlike them, she suffered through school, never quite finding where she belonged. However, during a trip to New York, Lawrence suddenly realized that she wanted to be an actress. When she was enjoying the beautiful city, a model seeker asked if he could take her picture, and the next day he called her in for an audition(试镜).“I read the play and it was the first time I had that feeling like I understand this.” Lawrence said. “Within 20 minutes, in the cab ride from the hotel room, I decided I didn’t want to be a mo del. In fact, I wanted to be an actress.” Having appreciated this young lady’s performance, the agency was so impressed with her reading that they signed her on the spot. But she insisted on finishing high school so she could give her full attention to her acting career. Lawrence burst onto the Hollywood scene with The Hunger Games, which established her as the highest box office female action hero of all time. Rolling Stone called her “the most talented young actress in America”.1．What can we know about Jennifer Lawrence from Paragraph 2?A．Her parents were really strict with her.B．Her school performance made her today's reputation.C．She seemed not to fit in with her school days well.D．Her two brothers were doing well in all school subjects.2．Lawrence made up her mind to be an actress because of _____.A．her brothers’ examplesB．a model interviewC．the taxi-ride to her hotel roomD．the beautiful scenery of New York3．What is the best title of the text?A．Winning Young B．Acting WiselyC．Choosing Early D．Following DreamsMalaysia Airlines Flight MH370, after its shocking disappearance, has caught the attention of millions around the world as the search for the airplane and its passengers and crew continues. What happened to the flight’s 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.But it’s hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airlinemysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330flight fromRio de Janeiro to Paris____into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage（残骸）and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot (自动驾驶仪) to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.Amelia Earhart: Top pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to travel around the globe. No sign of her plane was ever found even after a multi-milliondollarsearch effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any sign of wreckage. British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flightthat disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentineans rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains aswell.Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: Aflight headed to Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche (雪崩) that hit the plane’s wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before theywere finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.4．The underlined word “plunged” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning t o _____. A．jumped B．broke C．dived D．flew 5．What can we learnfromUruguayan Air Force Flight 571? _____.A．12 people were lost until now.B．25 people were rescued immediately.C．The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.D．8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.6．From the passage, what could have led to British South American Airways crash? A．The bad weather. B．Not mentioned.C．The ice crystals. D．The lightning.7．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? _____.A．Earhart was declared dead by the local government two years later.B．The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.C．Two Argentineans rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.D．Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.Since American students have been introduced into the era of the Massive Open Online Course, the opportunity for cheating appears greater than ever. The all-knowing Google search engine is within easy reach. So how can a teacher handle such a large number of examinees so far away, let alone searching out cheaters taking tests across the Internet? Using technology, of course. While special services via webcam (摄像头) and cheating detecting software have been developed now, Mettl, an online company, has developed advanced techniques for netting cheaters, which the company claims are even more reliable and easier to use. Whatever small attempt to cheat, he or she will be found out.Mettl has adopted a mass of technologies on its test-taking platform, creating a mini monitoring state in an exam. Here’s how it works: A test-taker signs on to Mettl and selects his／her exam from the site’s library of pre-loaded tests. Facial and keystroke recognition technology confirm the person that has signed in is the very person, and the system records both the test-taker (through the webcam) and the test-taker’s screen throughout the test. Mettl’s technology uses the test-taker’s webcam to detect how many people are using the computer. Soon, it will track eye movement well enough to sense whether the test-taker islooking away from the screen, perhaps to consult a smart phone or a friend in secret. Mettl also monitors the test-taker’s screen and can detect when the test-taker has changed a computer or moved from the test. The system will soon be able to record sound, detecting whether the test-taker is talking or being talked to.If any wrongdoings are detected, the system flags the incident and reports it back to the test’s administrator. This can bring any number of things, depending on the test-giver’s wishes: a complete shutdown of the exam, a warning message that appears on the test-taker’s screen, even human instructions from the control center.Mettl is hoping its technology will help it break into the c ountry’s big MOOC markets. 8．From the first paragraph we can infer that .A．MOOC has replaced the traditional form of educationB．Teachers should be stricter in dealing with cheatingC．Preventing online cheating is a harder jobD．Google is a software designed for cheating9．How can Mettl help to get rid of cheating online?A．By equipping teachers with cameras.B．By asking test-takers to sign in.C．By providing different tests at a time.D．By recording the test-takers’ behaviors.10．We can conclude from the passage that the technology of Mettl is in the MOOC era. A．unreliable B．promisingC．wasteful D．instructive11．Which part of a newspaper does the article come from?A．Health B．EntertainmentC．Education D．Culture二、任务型阅读根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

重庆市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期期末英语试题
重庆市第一中学2020-2021学年高二上学期期末英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择A good advertisement will draw customer’s attention towards your product. That is what every business really wants, in addition to your actually buying their product. In this article we will round up several great ads that cover many different styles but all have one thing in common, that is they connect to their audience.King Oscar: OpenThis ad puts forward an idea that King Oscar's fish products are as fresh as they can possibly get. This idea is then realized by combining a fish and one of their canned products showing the customer they will be buying a fish straight from the ocean. This simplistic image gives off just enough to tell the consumer what the deal is with their product.Panasonic 3D TV: DinoHere is another ad that has a lot going on but still is able to get its message across fairly easily. We will first notice the dinosaur in the mess living room but then see the girl pointing at the TV, which will give us the impression that Panasonic's 3D televisions are extremely realistic. The great art direction leads to the customer understanding what product is on display almost immediately.Pepsi: StrawsThis clever Pepsi ad conveys a lot to the customer; at first glance it gives the impression that Pepsi is the preferred choice of even the straws(吸管). And then after that it makes fun ofCoca Cola by using their red and white colors for the other can as well as their classic design. This is a very clever ad on many levels.Canal+: iPhone TitanicThis ad may take a bit more time to understand but the design itself can keep a customer interested. The large finger and the iPhone in the corner can quickly help the viewer connect the dots with the sinking Titanic ship and show that we can have all our favorite movies right on our iPhones.1．What is the common feature of great advertisements?A．They involve many different styles.B．They will draw every business’attention.C．They can attract customers and touch them.D．They make comparison between products.2．What is special about King Oscar?A．Its fish products are very fresh.B．It conveys a lot to the customers.C．People can buy fish directly from ocean.D．It gives us extremely realistic impression.3．Which advertisement mentioned its competitor?A．King Oscar: Open. B．Panasonic 3D TV: DinoC．Pepsi: Straws. D．Canal+: iPhone Titanic.In my class in high school, there was a girl who was considered the most unpopular. No one actually knows how this exclusion (排挤) came from, but we all followed it for no reason at all. One day after lunch, we girls sat on the track field, talking about things that happened in our lives. Someone brought her up, and soon the topic transformed to laughing at the funny hairstyle of her, the stupid way she walked and.... I felt extremely uncomfortable but kept silent, because I didn’t want to be the one “supporting” the common enemy. After all, it’s just a short gossip time among a trusted group of friends; why should I bring unnecessary tension?Suddenly, one of my friends pointed her finger towards somewhere behind me. All of us turned around and saw that exact girl, hand still in the air, with a twisted (扭曲的) look on her face. She lowered her hand in slow movement, then turned around and ran off. For a second, I wanted to stand up and chase her down to tell her that no one meant what they said, and that she is an amazing person being who she is. But my legs felt so heavy, I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself—why bother taking care of the class clown (小丑)? People would think that I was crazy as well!A few weeks later, the teacher told us that a classmate dropped out of school—it was that girl. Her parents told the school that it was the peer pressure that made her want to leave. The teacher wanted to know who the bully (霸凌) was. Again, no one spoke a word. Perhaps it was exactly this cold, hard silence that drove her away. I certainly did not raise my hand. I had never even said anything bad about her; it was my friends who loved to make fun of her every day. Surely, I didn’t bully her physically or with my language, but I kept silent when others did. By failing to stand up for her and offering her support, I was giving agreement, which made others think that it was okay to mistreat her. Perhaps if I had realized I was wrong earlier---instead of convincing myself that I had nothing to do with her leaving, I wouldn't have to bear the burden of heavy shame on my shoulders.4．How did the author feel when seeing the girl being bullied?A．Cheerful. B．Uncomfortable.C．Frightened. D．Amazed.5．What can we know from Paragraph 2?A．The girl heard what the author’s friends said about her.B．The author’s leg was broken while chasing the girl.C．The group friends think it crazy to be fooled.D．The author was mad at her friends at that time.6．The author didn’t support the girl for the following reasons EXCEPT that______A．she wanted to follow the flow.B．she didn’t want to turn against friends.C．she was prevented by the group friends.D．she worried about others’ reaction.7．What will the author probably do when meeting the same situation next time?A．She will keep silent and walk away.B．She will stand up for her group friends.C．She will make fun of the group.D．She will not turn a blind eye to it.How’s this for a coincidence (巧合)? Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were born in the same year, on the same day: Feb. 12, 1809. Although people hardly think of them together, yet we want to say that they belong together. It’s not just because they were both great men, and not because they happen to live at the same time. Rather, it’s because the scientist and the politician each started a revolution that changed the world.They were both revolutionaries in the sense that both men changed the realities when they were born. They seem and sound modern to us, because the world they left behind them is more or less the one we still live in. So, considering the joint greatness of their contributions and the coincidence of their birthdays ---- it is hard to wonder: who was the greatest man? It’s an apples and oranges--- or Superman vs. Santa---comparison. But if you limit the question to influence, very quickly the balance tips in Lincoln’s favor.As great as his book on evolution is, it does no harm to remember that Darwin hurried to publish The Origin of Species because he thought he was about to be scooped (抢先) by his fellow naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace. Lincoln, however, is unique. True, his election as the president did cause the recession (衰退) and the war, but that war seems certain to happen---not a question of if but when. Certainly we know what happened after he was murdered: Reconstruction was organized and then abandoned, leaving the issue of racial (种族的) equality unsolved for another century.Surely we should not deny Darwin’s accomplishment. But their same birthdays gave us a great opportunity to observe these men of their time.8．Why does the author say Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln belong together? A．They were born on the same day.B．They lived in the same period of time.C．They started revolutions changing the world.D．They were both great men in the history.9．What does the author mean by “an apples and oranges---- or Superman vs. Santa--comparison” ?A．It is hard to tell which one is greater as they are both outstanding.B．The comparison between Darwin and Lincoln is easy and obvious.C．It is difficult to compare them as they are as famous as Superman and Santa.D．There is no point comparing them because they were born on the same day. 10．Lincoln’s contribution to the world can be best described as__________A．narrow. B．aggressive.C．independent. D．ground-breaking.11．What can we learn from the passage?A．Lincoln’s success in election caused reconstruction.B．Lincoln had tried to solve the racial problem.C．Darwin was unique compared with Lincoln.D．Darwin’s theory is similar to Lincoln’s belief.In recent years, Boston Dynamics has become known for two things. One, creating robots whose movements mimic (模仿) humans and animals. Many find theiraccuracy surprising and concerning. The second reason is posting mysterious videos of these robots online without warning. The videos quickly go popular and spread a mixture of excitement and terror over the rapid rise of self-operating machines.The company has made four-legged robots in recent years, with names like Spot, Wildcat and BigDog. These robots can do tasks such as open doors, carry heavy loads and run nearly 20 miles per hour. The company's most popular product appears to be Atlas, the robotic athlete. It calls Atlas "the world's most dynamic humanlike robot."The robot is guided by 3-D vision. It also uses LiDAR, short for Light Detection And Ranging, a sensor (传感器) that uses a laser (激光) to measure the distance between objects. With this technology, the small robot can pull nearly 25 pounds. The company says Atlas can also handle objects in its environment, cross rough land, keep its balance when pushed and get back up when knocked down.Three years ago, Atlas was recorded clumsily walking through the snow at a slow speed. Curiosity about Atlas increased last year when Boston Dynamics posted a video clip on YouTube. In it, the previously awkward robot goes for a jog in a grassy area. The video seemed to surprise many viewers, including the newspaper called the Daily Mail. The newspaper was reporting on Atlas's physical accomplishment at the time.The paper wrote, "If you thought you'd be able to run away from the terrifying new robots,bad news."12．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Robots mimicking humans and animals go popular.B．Boston Dynamic is likely to create more new robots.C．Humanlike robots are developing at a surprising speed.D．A new video of the latest robots make people amused.13．What d oes the underlined word “awkward” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Dangerous. B．Unskillful.C．Graceful. D．Convenient.14．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．It’s bad that we can run away from the new robots.B．People are happy about the improvements to new robots.C．Human’s power over machines and robots has come to an end.D．Improvements to robots raised concern among us human.15．Where does the text probably come from?A．A science magazine. B．An advertisement.C．Children’s literature.D．A fantasy novel.二、七选五This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. That makes it a good time to think of ways to honor the teachers who inspire, educate and care about the students they work with year after year.16．An easy way to make teachers feel appreciated is to write them a thank-you note. Be sure to include any favorite parts of their class and anything the teacher did for you that really had an effect on you. "I value notes and letters I receive from my students, their parents and grandparents,"a teacher once said. 17．Visit A Former Teacher18．Many teachers mentioned they love seeing and hearing from former students. It makes them realize that their work matters. If you want to visit a former teacher, the best time to go is during their "off-period" or lunch. If you go to a different school and you want to see your former teacher, be sure to email them in advance. Ask when a good time to visit would be.Put Away Your CellphonePutting your cellphone away in class is an easy thing any student can do. It may seem helpful to look up an answer to a question or do research. 19．Try to think hard about an answer before immediately reaching for your phone. Think about how you are staying in the present moment while you're paying attention in class.Listen And LearnThe teachers interviewed said they had many different struggles and things that made them want to be a teacher. However, they all did agree on one thing. All the teachers mentioned wanting to see their students learn and succeed.This tip hardly requires any action at all. 20．A．Value Notes and LettersB．Write A Letter To Say Thank YouC．However, your cellphones can actually seem like a competitor for your teacher. D．Another simple way to show your appreciation is to visit a teacher you had a few years ago.E.When teachers are trying to get students to remember concepts, this can be a huge challenge.F.Just know that when you listen and learn, you'll show your teacher why they do what they do.G.Seeing the evidence of the positive influence they have had on their students is comforting for teachers.三、完形填空I’m not a person who loves collecting, but the TV room of my house is full of things. In it are things that there’s no other place to put, and things I can’t decide 21 to throw away, such as a lot of old bottles and boxes, some books and out-of-date magazines and a wood stove (炉子) I 22 use. The TV itself could actually work, but I only turn it 23 every four years to watch the presidential election.The other night, scratching (抓) sounds from the TV room 24 me up. Quietly, I entered the room, 25 the stove and opened its front door. There it was, a trembling squirrel, 26 me desperately.I decided to give it a(n) 27 escape way. Therefore, I opened the outside door, stepped back and 28 . The squirrel jumped out of the 29 , but didn’t head outside.30 , it run through my magazine pile and then struggled among the bottles.“Why didn’t it 31 ?” I wondered for a while until I 32 that I probably put 33 into that small squirrel’s heart.
