AA trip to Paris is not complete without a visit to the Eiffel Tower. To get the most out of your visit, read our tips below:Visit at NightRiding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level, the spotlights on the top of the Tower and reflections (倒影) of the Tower in the Seine(塞纳河) are sights not to be missed.Purchase(购买) Your Ticket in Advance OnlineAvoid the long ticket lines at the Eiffel Tower by purchasing your ticket online from the Eiffel Tower website.You’ll pick a time to visit and then select whether to print out the ticket or display it on your phone or iPad—a convenient choice if you buy your ticket in Paris without a printer.Don’t Bring Valuable Objects with YouBefore entering the Eiffel Tower, your bags will be examined by a security officer. If an item you are carrying sets off the metal detector, the officer will take you away from the line for further inspection. Probably you will miss the chance to go up the Eiffel Tower.Have Drinks and Snacks at the Eiffel TowerIf you’re like us, after an exciting trip to the Eiffel Tower, you’ll be ready to rest your legs and have a relaxing snack and a drink in a Parisian café. Across the Seine in the Trocadero area, there are many elegant cafes. The atmosphere is great, but the prices are in the stratosphere(极高水平). Actually, the perfect place for common visitors to eat and drink is on the Eiffel Tower itself.1.Why does the author suggest visiting the Eiffel Tower at night?A. Because you can have special sights of the city of Paris.B. Because you can stand on the top of the Eiffel Tower.C. Because you can see the Seine as clearly as possible.D.

Because it was the first time for him to go abroad with friends.B. Because luckily he met his old friends there.C. Because he was attracted by the beauty of the country.D. Because he had never gone abroad before.5.What does the author often do during his travels?A. He has chances to know people with rich knowledge.B. He is curious to know why there are so many languages.C. He learns a lot in many ways from the people he meets.D. He shares his travelling experiences with foreign friends.6.What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. The author is a student from America.B. The author’s roots probably are in Gambia.C. The author often has different opinions from others.D. The author knows nothing about African history.7.What will the author do in the future?A. He will find out the exact location of his home.B. He will get familiar with a different way of living.C. He will make a summary of his exciting adventures.D. He will make preparations for his next wonderful trip.CLocated at Europe’s biggest water park, the Galaxy Erding in South Germany, the world’s first VR water slide takes the exciting experience to a whole new level by offering thrill-seekers the choice of three attractive worlds —Space, Sky, or Snow. By simply wearing a headset, riders can slide through a magical alien world, follow beautiful butterflies around floating islands or put themselves in a white winter wonderland. To make the experience even more heart-stopping, the 160-meter-long ride that lasts about 35 seconds has two uphill tracks that provide a roller-coaster-like experience.While the tire slide, which has been successfully tested by almost 10,000 park goers since it opened in February 2018, is impressive, the technology behind it, developed by California startup Ballast is even more so. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be worn in water up to a few meters deep, without harming the delicate Samsung Galaxy S8 mobile devices that run the custom software for the VR experiences. The headsetsalso charge wirelessly (无线地), allowing park operators to swap out sets throughout the day.The biggest challenge the company faced, however, was providing a suitable VR experience for everyone. That’s because unlike roller coasters, where the speed is fixed for all riders, water slide speeds vary depending on the weight of the person. To overcome the issue, Ballast fixed smart sensors (传感器) in important areas along the slide to keep track of the rider’s progress at all times. The information, conveyed through the headset, allows the custom software to adjust his or her location within the virtual world accordingly, making for a smooth, seasickness free ride for all.Though Ballast is thrilled at Space Glider’s success, the company has bigger ambitions. They want to create an experience where guests will be able to swim underwater surrounded by virtual dolphins, whales, and even sharks, without wearing the heavy headsets!8.What can people do if they go to the Galaxy Erding?A. They can swim with dolphins.B. They can explore the outer space.C. They can experience VR water slide.D. They can swap out sets all day long.9.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A. The tire slide has been successfully tested so far.B. Water slide speed vary depending on the age of the person.C. Thrill-seekers take the exciting experience by wearing a headset.D. The specially-created waterproof headsets can be applied in water.10.What can help park goers experience a smooth, seasickness free ride?A. The painkillers.B. The fixed speed.C. A sensor fixed in important areas.D. Virtual dolphins, whales and sharks.11.What is the author’s attitude towards the VR water slide?A. Objective.B. Subjective.C. Opposed.D. Indifferent.DA new study finds almost one third of the world’s population is overweight. Since 1980, obesity rates（肥胖率）in children and adults have doubled in 73 countries, making people more worried. And rates are increasing in many other countries. Obesity is increasing faster in children than adults in many nations, including Algeria, Turkey and Jordan, the report said. But the world’s weight problem is growing in both rich and poor countries alike. Researchers say an increasing number of people are dying of related health problems in what they called a “disturbing global public health problem.”Researchers studied health information from 1980 through 2015. They examined obesity rates, average weight gain in 195 countries. They found that obesity rates are three times greater among youth and young adults in countries like China, Brazil and India. Almost 108 million children and more than 600 million adults were found to be overweight. Egypt had the highest number of overweight adults in 2015. Vietnam had the least. In the same year, the United States had the highest number of overweight children, and Bangladesh had the least.Yet hunger remains a problem in many areas. The United Nations said that almost 800 million people, including 300 million children, go to bed hungry each night. Experts said poor diets and lack of physical activity are mainly to blame for the rising numbers of overweight people. Growing populations have led to rising obesity rates in poor countries. Often, poor people will eat processed（加工的）foods instead of choosing a diet rich in vegetables.The London-based Overseas Development Institute studied the price of food in five countries: Britain, Brazil, China, Mexico and South Korea. It found that the cost of processed foods like ice cream and hamburgers has fallen since 1990. But the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables has gone up.12.What do we know about obesity in the world?A. It is worrying.B. It is given no attention.C. It has been successfully solved.D. It is more serious among old people.13.Which country has the most overweight children in 2015?A. America.B. Vietnam.C. Egypt.D. Bangladesh.14.What is one of the reasons why people get overweight?A. Hunger.B. Poor diet.C. Diets with vegetables.D. Eating too much fruit.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. It’s Important to Have a Balanced DietB. How Can We Lose Weight and Keep Fit?C. Is It Necessary for Us to Eat Fresh Vegetables?D. Nearly One Third of People in the World Are Overweight.五、七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

AAmsterdam，the capital and most populous city in the Netherlands，is one of the most popular travel destinations in the world，famous for its beautiful canals，top art museum，cycling culture，and Red Light District.Here are some of the key points to remember as you plan your trip to Amsterdam.Must-See AttractionsMost visitors begin their Amsterdam adventure in the Old Centre，which is full of traditional architecture，shopping centers，and coffee shops.You’ll also want to check out Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter in the South District，which is great for shopping at the Albert Cuyp Market and having a picnic in the V ondelpark.The top museums to visit are the Rijksmusuem，the Ann Frank House，and the Van Gogh Museum.The Canal Ring is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that was originally built to attract wealthy home owners and is a popular place for celebrity spotting and nightlife today.TransportationTravelers should be aware that Amsterdam Airport Schiphol is one of the busiest airports in the world.This airport is located about 15 kilometers southwest of city center.You can catch a train from Schiphol to Amsterdam Central Station，which has many connecting routes.I t’s typically not a good idea to drive a car to the city center because traffic is heavy and parking is difficult to find.Cycling is incredibly popular here，and it’s easy to find cheap bike rentals around town.Amsterdam has a flat terrain(地形) and is a great city to explore on foot.Money Saving TipsUnless you really want to see the tulips(郁金香) blooming，avoid bookingbetween mid-March and mid-May.This is when hotel and flight prices rise.Look for accommodations in Amsterdam’s South District，where rates are generally cheaper than in the city center.Buy train tickets at the machine instead of the counter to save a bit of money.Instead of hiring a tour guide，hop on a canal boat.They’re inexpensive and will give you a unique point of view of the city.Check out our homepage to view price comparisons for flights，hotels，and rental cars before you book.21.Which attraction was built with the original purpose of drawing the rich?A.Albert Cuyp Market.B.The Ann Frank House.C.The Van Gogh Museum.D.The Canal Ring.22.Which means of transportation is not advisable in Amsterdam according to the passage?A.The plane.B.The train.C.The car.D.The bike.23.Which way can help visitors save money in Amsterdam?A.Seeing the tulips blooming in spring.B.Avoiding accommodating downtown.C.Buying car tickets at the machine.D.Hiring a local tour guide.BA science teacher from rural Kenya who gives away most of his salary to help poorer students has been awarded the title of the world's best teacher and $1 million, beating 10,000 nominations (提名) from 179 countries. Peter Tabichi, 36, a maths and physics teacher at Keriko Secondary School in Pwani village, has won the Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize 2019.Tabichi gives away 80% of his income to help the poorest students at the poorly-equipped and overcrowded school who could not otherwise afford uniforms andbooks. More than 90% of his students are from poor families and almost a third are orphans or have only one parent. Many students have to walk 7 km along roads that can become impassable in the rainy season to reach the school and the area can be affected by drought and starvation.Despite only having one computer, a poor Internet connection and a student-teacher ratio of 581, Tabichi started a “talent nurturing club” and expanded the school's science club, helping students design research projects of such high quality that many now qualify for national competitions. His students have taken part in international science competitions and won an award from the Royal Society of Chemistry after using local plant life to generate electricity (发电). Tabichi and his four colleagues also give struggling students one-to-one tuition in maths and science, visiting students' homes and meeting their families to identify the challenges they face.Accepting the prize, Tabichi said Africa's young people would no longer be held back by low expectations. “Africa will produce scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs whose names will be one day famous in every corner of the world，” he said.24．What made Peter Tabichi win the prize in 2019?A．Giving away $1 million to education.B．Teaching in a secondary school for 36 years.C．Fighting drought and starvation in Africa.D．Helping the poorer students in rural Kenya.25．Why did Tabichi start th e “talent nurturing club”？A．To contribute most of his income.B．To expand national competitions.C．To assist students in designing research projects.D．To encourage students to grasp opportunities.26．Which of the following best describes Peter Tabichi as a teacher?A．Independent. B．Caring.C．Humorous. D．Interesting.27．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．African education cost is expected to get lower.B．Africa is in desperate need of young scientists.C．Tabichi is not pleased until he is known worldwide.D．Tabichi has high expectations of young Africans.CWhile visiting the North Pole in winter may not be at the top of your bucket list,the everchanging ICEHOTEL, which opened its doors to visitors on December 14 this year, may change your mind. 200 km north of the Arctic Circle in the Swedish village of Jukkasjärvi, the hotel, which is carved entirely from ice, is rebuilt annually.The 35 rooms, built to accommodate visitors on all kinds of budgets, vary from expensive suites to basic rooms that are furnished with just an icy bed and a reindeer skin. Among the highlights this year is the “Spruce Woods”suite. Sculpted by Christopher Pascoe and Jennie O'Keefe of Canada, it describes a camping scene complete with a classic microbus, a forest, and even an artificial campfire.There is also the artfullycarved “Living Ocean”suite to remind visitors of the importance of saving our oceans. The room is full of carved sea life that includes coral and a shark “swimming”right over the ice bed. “The suite is inspired by global warming and the overfishing that affects our oceans，”says artist Jonathan Paul Green. “I also think the idea of using frozen water from a river in northern Sweden to create an ocean with shells, fish, and coral is exciting.”The nearby “Haven”suite is a “magical gate of ice”guarded by two large animals. “We are inspired by the meeting between people and want to create an experience that stimulates curiosity and creativity，”says artist Jonas Johansson. “It feels like a dream to get to work with ice that allows our love for light, shine, and reflection to wander freely from thought to creation.”Regardless of whether visitors select the carved suites or the basic ice rooms, the temperature is always set to a bonechilling －5℃！That is why guests are advised to snuggle(蜷伏) up inside sleeping bags and wear gloves and winter hats all night. Not surprisingly, most end up spending just a single night at this unique hotel before moving on to the conventional and warmer hotels nearby.28．What does the underlined phrase “bucket list”mean in the text?A．A shopping list of buckets.B．A list of travelling destinations.C．A list of expensive hotels.D．A list of exciting ideas.29．What can we know about the ice hotel?A．It is rebuilt every year.B．Its rooms are expensive.C．It organizes camping activities.D．It lies in a coastal city.30．Where does the inspiration of “Living Ocean”suite come from?A．Art and literature.B．Ocean life and voyages.C．Climate change and human influence.D．The meeting of people.31．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．An Adventure to the North PoleB．An Experience Close to NatureC．A Taste of Cold: A Night in a VillageD．A Winter Destination: Sweden's Ice hotelDI'm interested in the Renaissance (文艺复兴), so I like visiting ancient Italian cities. Ferrara is called City of the Renaissance. When I learned about this city on the Internet, I decided to pay a visit to it.The city has a certain charm, but I find it isn't as great as other Italian cities like Verona, let alone Venice or Rome. The Michelin Green Guide gives it two stars, which is right.I first visited the city centre. The Cathedral and Castello Estense are at the heart of the city. Both have striking appearances. I visited the Cathedral first. Castello Estense is also worth visiting, which owes its name to the powerful Este family. It was builtwith bricks and surrounded by a moat (护城河). At the lower levels, the history of the city and the Este family are told through displays, and in another part the ceilings are shown through mirrors on the ground.In the north, we can appreciate the Renaissance extension of the town, with straight streets and monumental houses. The famous Palazzo dei Diamanti lies here. When I was visiting it, it started to rain, so after taking a few photos quickly, I cut my visit there short. It had been raining for a few days. When the rain ceased, I went to visit the historical centre and the Renaissance buildings.After leaving there, I visited several other interesting places such as palaces and the narrow streets of the downtown. After four hours in Ferrara I left by train to Mantua. There I had a much better time.32．Why did the author pay a visit to Ferrara?A．Because it is related to the Renaissance.B．Because it is full of charm.C．Because it is a very famous city in Europe.D．Because it is strongly recommended by a website.33．What did the author think of The Michelin Green Guide's comment on Ferrara?A．Ridiculous. B．Reasonable.C．Unacceptable. D．Unbelievable.34．How could Castello Estense probably get its name according to the text?A．It came from the historical buildings.B．It originated from the straight streets.C．It was named after the powerful Este family.D．It was connected to the surrounding moat.35．What can we infer from the text?A．The writer thought Ferrara was as great as Venice.B．The writer visited Palazzo dei Diamanti for a long time.C．The writer was much more satisfied with the tour in Mantua than in Ferrara.D．The writer was disappointed with the visit to the Cathedral and Castello Estense.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

But how did it all start When could people first choose the music they wanted to listen toThe 1900s: The player radioIn the late 19th and early 20th centuries, pianos became very popular and rich families bought “player pianos”. A player piano played music that was programmed on paper rolls with holes in them and you could also play it like a “normal” piano. In the mid 1920s player pianos began to disappear mainly because the radio got more popular.The 1910s: The first phonographs (留声机)As early as 1877, there were phonographs to play music on and by the 1910s, many families had one. The music was on “records” made ofaluminum foil (铝箔). People could listen to them only a few times before the foil broke. Later the music was on wax cylinders (蜡筒). These could hold longer recordings (two to four minutes), and people could play them more often.The 1920s: Gramophones and record playersGramophones were similar to the phonographs, but they used flat vinyl (乙烯基) disks and not cylinders to hold the music. The disks went round, and first a steel needle, then later a small diamond, “took” the music off the record. Some of the disks could play for more than 20 minutes per side. Today some music lovers who are crazy about disks still use vinyl records.The 1960s－1970s: Cassettes and the WalkmanIn the 1960s, the first cassette recorders became popular. A big step towards modern technology was the invention of the first portable (便携式的) cassette player, the “Walkman”，by the Japanese company, Sony in 1979. For the first time, people could listen to their favourite music while they were travelling, doing sports, or going for walks.1．What happened to the player piano in the mid 1920sA．Only the rich could afford it.B．It began to be used as a “normal” piano.C．It was gradually replaced by the radio.D．It was improved and played music automatically.2．What do we know about phonographs and gramophonesA．They used different records to hold the music.B．They are still popular among music lovers now. C．Gramophones were easier to carry than phonographs. D．Phonographs held longer recordings than gramophones.3．The text is mainly about ________.A．the history of musicB．the popularity of musicC．the different types of musicD．the development of listening to musicBThe police in Canada had to deal with the escape of 12 million bees on Monday. The bees flew off after the truck that was carrying them turned over. Most of the insects stayed close by, but enough were loose to cause a possible danger to the public. Police told people to stay indoors and keep their windows closed. Bee expert Chris Maund said it was lucky that the accident happened in the countryside. “Fortunately it happened in an area where there are no restaurants or houses around. If it happened in an area like a city center, all the bees would have been killed right away.” Mr. Maund said that people are not in danger as long as they keep their distance.The bees were on their way back to their main beehives (蜂房) afterbeing used to pollinate (授粉) blueberries. Bees and the traveling pollination service are an important part of Canada’s fruit industry. Maund said the truck and broken hives were being left on the highway overnight. He believes the bees will return naturally. The bees probably did not go very far because of the rainy weather. Bees breathe through their skin and can drown(溺死) in the rain. Firefighters wearing full protective clothes were at the scene making the bees wet to keep them from flying around. They also sprayed (喷) the bees with smoke to make them feel sleepy. The smoke can also make them think there is a fire, causing them to return to save their honey.4. Where did the accident happenA. On the highway in the Canadian countryside.B. Near an international bee research center.C. On the way to a highway restaurant.D. Near a big city center in Canada.5. Who came to the scene to deal with the rest of the beesA. The bee experts.B. The fire fighters.C. The local people.D. The police.6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the textA. The bees had just pollinated blueberries.B. The Canadian traveling pollination service is in trouble now.C. The experts believed that these bees had gone far away.D. Smoke and water often make bees feel energetic.7. The text is mainly about_________ .A. crops in Canada that need the work of beesB. brave and respectable firefighters in CanadaC. 12 million bees that had an accident in CanadaD. the relationship between crops and beesCIn the atmosphere, carbon dioxide allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping. According to a weather expert's prediction, the atmosphere will be warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuel at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere.In the past, concern about a man made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels. Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern part of the earth, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has the most effect on the weatherOne possibility is the behavior of the sun. Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and “cold” spots, that is, the relatively less hot spots, on the sun. This seems to have a greater effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure, and consequently on wind circulation (循环). The sun is also variable (可变的) over a long term. Its heat output (输出) goes up and down in cycles. The latest trend being downward is on the way. But that is only an imagination.5．The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ________. A．prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surfaceB．mean a warming up in the ArcticC．account for great changes in the climateD．raise the temperature of the earth's surface6．The article was written to explain ________.A．the greenhouse effectsB．the solar effects on the earthC．the solar weatherD．the causes affecting weather7．Although the fuel is greater in the northern part, temperatures there seem to be falling. This is ________.A．mainly because the carbon dioxide is risingB．possibly because the ice caps in the poles are meltingC．due to the effect of the earth's climateD．possibly due to the activity of the sun8．What does the underlined word “exceeded” meanA．To be the same as. B．To be slower than.C．To be better than. D．To be bigger than.DSome dinosaurs grew slowly and steadily. Others experienced a growth spurt as they neared adulthood. A “growth spurt” is when something or someone grows very quickly. For example, children usually have a growth spurt between the ages of 12 and 18. The same appears to be true for some dinosaurs! To reach their findings, scientists cut through the fossilized bones of dinosaurs. They examined the yearly growth rings of the bones from 11 kinds of theropods collected from their legs. Theropods are a group of dinosaurs that mainly walked on two legs and include big meat-eating dinosaurs, like tyrannosaurus rex, commonly known as T. rex.The research team looked at fossils from museums in the United States, Canada, China, and Argentina. They were able to cut into the fossilized bones of one of the world's most famous T. rexes, known as Sue. These bones showed that the T. rex and its relatives have a period of extreme growth during the years before adulthood. It also shows that they reached full adult size by around age 20. Sue is about 13 meters tall. She is believed to have lived to about 33 years. But not all the large theropods had more steady rates of growth over a longer period of time. The Argentinian dinosaur did not reach its full adult size until it reached about 40 years of age. It is believed to have lived to about age 50.Big theropods share the same basic body design. They walked on two legs and had large skulls and strong jaws. And of course, they had threatening teeth.The lead researcher on the study is Tom Cullen. He is a paleontologist with the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and North Carolina State University. He said that before this study, “it was known that T. rex grew very quickly, but it was not clear if all theropod dinosaurs reached giant size in the same way, or if there were many ways they grew so big.”12. How did scientists know the dinosaurs’ agesA. By knowing the theropods’ height.B. By examining the conditions of the teeth.C. By comparing the theropods’ bodies.D. By counting the growth rings of the bones.13. Which part of the bones do you think the scientists examinedA. Fossilized legs.B. Fossilized teeth.C. Fossilized skulls.D. Fossilized jaws.14. Why did Tom Cullen lead the researchA. To analyze why theropods grew very quickly.B. To know the age of different theropods.C. To know why theropods grew so big.D. To prove the idea that theropods shared the same features.15. What does this passage mainly want to exploreA. The reason why theropods dinosaurs had the same body design.B. The Argentinian dinosaur was the longest-lived dinosaur.C. Theropod dinosaurs had different rates of growth.D.

Different words come into use, or older words are used in a new way.English can change by borrowing words from other languages. The word “tomato” was borrowed from Mexico, and “tea” came from China, and so on. Now a great many of new space and scie nce words are being borrowed from other countries, too. New words can be formed in other ways. For example, some can be formed by adding two words together. “Weekend” and “cookbook” are made up of two parts. Sometimes new words are shorter forms of older w ords. The word “photo” was made from “photograph” by cutting off the end of the longer word. “Plane”was made by cutting off the front part of “airplane”. The names of people and products can become new words. Our “sandwich”was named aftera man named Sandwich and “sello（透明胶带）”was a name given by the company that first made the product.46.

A(山东泰安高一期末)Paris offers the largest concentration of tourist attractions in France,and possibly in Europe.For the traveller spending just a few days in Paris,this list offers more than enough choice to fill the time.TrocaderoIt is built on a hill opposite the Eiffel Tower and provides excellent views over the city.It was laid out for the World Fair in 1878.This open space provides one of the best photo chances on the tour with wonderful views of the Eiffel Tower.NotreDameParisIt started to build in 1163 and took 185 years to finish.It remains one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture inEurope.This is the official center of Paris;the point from which all distances in France are measured.TheEiffelTowerIt was Gustav Eiffel who planned this huge,iron-work tower in 1887,with observation decks(露台)that provided a bird’s eye of the city.It’s ori ginal licence was for 20 years at which time it was due to be destroyed.But destruction of the national symbol was unthinkable.L’HoteldesInvalidesIt was used as homes and hospital for aged and injured pleted in 1709,L’ Hotel des Invalides now holds museums relating to France’s military history,but some of the buildings continue to be used as a home and hospital for those who used to serve in the army especially during the wars.TheLouvreIt is the world’s largest and most visited museum.It is famously home to Leonardo Da Vinei’s Mona Lisa.It used to be a Royal Palace with its history dating back to the 1100’s.1.What will you visit if you want to see remains of wars?A.Notre Dame Paris.B.Trocadero.C.L’

years,like I have,the skyline becomes part of you and your daily life.When I was invited to visit the recently completed Summit One Vanderbilt,Ne w York’s fourth-highest tower,I wasn’t euch.I felt like I’d seen it all and I thought that this observation deck(观测台)would be another space for a view of the city,but nothing else.Let me tell you something:I have never seen one like this before.It sits on top of a building on 42nd street and Vanderbilt,right next to Grand Central Station.Once you have ascended to the top floor,you step into air,which makes you feel like being at 1,000 feet above ground level with its mirrored floors.Once you make your way throughout the space,you feel like New York is part of a body,and your sense of space is challenged by the reflections of the light.The reflections create endless possibilities for photos and videos,and the light changes throughout the day.I took out my camera and began to take photos,feeling a connection with the city that no other observatory has been able to give me.Summit is something unique,an artwork with architecture.It will be an observatory that will change with the city.I personally can’t wait to take photos at sunset,or when winter arrives. 4.How did the author feel when invited to visit Summit One Vanderbilt?A.Curious.B.Happy.C.Amazed.D.Uninterested.5.What does the underlined word “ascended” in paragraph 3

of Canada and with a population of approillion,Toronto is a big and beautiful city,which has developed from a relatively unknown place over the past half century to the center of culture,trade and communication in Canada.With its colourful ethnic mix,rich history and breathtaking buildings,Toronto offers non-stop adventures to the tourists.To get a sense of how big,various and magical Toronto

culture,trade and communication in Canada,Toronto is also a major muti-ethnic city.It is the most populous city in Canada and its citizens come from countries around the world and from different kinds

said that Canada is a mosaic(嵌合体)of cultures and languages rather than a melting pot.Street signs in Toronto are mostly in English.Weekly and daily newspapers are published in various languages,and the city hosts the successful international film festival each September.It is also home to a popular baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays.Toronto has something for everyone.Moreover,Toronto has been rated one of the most livable cities in the world by United Nations Human Settlements Programme for many years.At the same time,Toronto is one of the safest,richest cities in the world with the

an island called Tristan da Cunha,which is a si the nearest town Cape Town in South Africa.There’s no airport on Tristan.Every month or so,a boat will bring visitors but not many.The boat will also bring mail and supplies.You can only see about 270 people,300 cows,500 sheep,and a whole lot of penguins there.The British tried to build a military base there in 1816.They gave up after a year.But a soldier and his family talked a few people into staying.Those people slowly built a community.Few trees grow on the island.So they found wood that washed ashore.They used it to build homes and boats.For food,they raised cows,sheep and pigs.They fished and planted potatoes.They promised to share everything they had.Sometimes ships brought supplies to Tristan.But for many years,no one there used money.Instead,people on the island traded potatoes for supplies.It cost five potatoes to send a piece of mail.Today,nearly everyone on Tristan is a farmer.The island’s main industry is fishing.It has a single factory that cans fish.Several times,bad luck has nearly destroyed the town on Tristan.In 1885,men died in a boat accident.That left 13 women and only 4 adult men on the island.Still,everyone stayed.In 1961,a bigger disaster struck.The town was destroyed by a volcanic eruption.All 290 people on the island moved to England.But soon,nearly all of them moved back to the

people,rapid development in technology has long represented a possible threat(威胁)to many jobs normally performed by people.But experts now believe that almost50 percent of occupations existing today will be completely unnecessary by2035as artificial intelligence(AI)continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work,and a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew,Director of Workplace Strategy for CBREAsia-Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative intelligence,social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligence.The report is based on interviews with200experts,business leaders and young people from Asia-Pacific,Europe and North America.It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states,“Losing occupations does not necessarily mean losing jobs—just changing what people do.” Growth in new jobs could occur as much,according to the research.“The growth of companies that have the speed and technologicalknow-how will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A2019report by Pew Research Centre found52per cent of experts in artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the future and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years.The optimists pictured“a future in which robots do not take the place of more jobs than they create,” according to Aaron Smith,the reports co-author.“Technology will continue to affect jobs,but more jobs seem likely to be created.Although there have always been unemployed people,when we reacheda few billion people there were billions of jobs.There is no shortage of thingsthat need to be done and that will not change,” Microsoft's Jonathan Grudintold researchers.4.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.The result of job reduction.B.The fast development of AI.C.The future life of elderly people.D.The influence of technology on jobs.5.What will people most probably do in the future?A.Take the place of AI.B.Work in a traditional way.C.Take up jobs requiring creativity.D.Enjoy life without working anymore.6.What can be known from Grudin's words in the last paragraph?A.Unemployment will stay high.B.More jobs tend to appear in the future.C.Job competition is likely to grow fiercer.D.Technology will have less control over jobs.7.What is the best title for the text?A.Are people losing their jobs?B.The requirements for future jobsC.The challenging life in the futureD.Does technology simplify everything?CMany automobile makers present their newest designs at car shows around the world.Many designers seek to create the car of the future.One device thatis popular among car manufacturers(生产商)is an autopilot.An autopilot permits a car to drive itself without human control.A recent car show in Geneva,Switzerland also presented other possible designs,including cars manufactured on3D printers.Rinspeed is a Swiss design company.It showed a vehicle based on the US electric car Tesla Model S,but the Rinspeed car includes a large television and an espresso coffee maker.Frank Rinderknecht is the CEO of Rinspeed.He says he does not want to just sit and watch the steering wheel(方向盘)turn as he rides in a car with an autopilot.“I want to ride;I want to sleep,relax,watch movies,news,and anything else.So that's the vision which we have.One day on the boring motorway traffic,you just do anything that makes your life better,” said Rinderknecht.One of the most interesting ideas presented at the show is a car built on a 3D printer.The German engineering firm EDAG designed the car.The body of the vehicle called“Genesis” is printed in one piece from a material called thermoplastic(热塑性塑料).Christoph Horvath is a spokesman for EDAG.“To create a car without the use of any tool,this would be a real revolution for the industry,” said Horvath.EDAG said it based its design on a turtle shell.The company said the design provided the right amount of strength and firmness.Other automakers did not look so far into the future.Czech automaker Skoda presented its“Vision C” model vehicle.The car has an environmentally friendly natural gas engine.Jo Davidson is a company spokeswoman.She said the car released very low levels of the pollutant gas CO2.Ms Davidson said the“Vision C” planned to be launched in two years.8.Why is an autopilot popular among car manufacturers?A.Because it can get a car to drive itself.B.Because it can make a car more modern.C.Because it may let a car fly in the sky freely.D.Because it has a car moving in a particular direction.9.What is the common feature of the cars?A.They are all made from thermoplastic.B.They all belong to the cars of the future.C.All the designs are based on a turtle shell.D.They have environmentally friendly natural gas engines.10.Where can we most probably read this text?A.In an economic report.B.In a short story.C.In a travel magazine.D.In a technology report.11.What do we know about the vehicle called“Genesis”?A.It is designed by the American engineering firm.B.The body of the vehicle is built on a3D printer.C.Frank Rinderknecht is the designer of the car.D.The car is mainly made from the turtle shell.DWalmart will soon use360robot cleaners across a few hundred of its ing maps input by human employees,the AI-powered cleaners will travel in the store with no difficulty,sweeping the floor—just as human employees used to do.Perhaps the most striking thing about these robot workers is how not-striking they are.Sci-fi movies suggest a future full of human-like robots who appear with their horrible qualities.Now the future is coming into view,and it looks like a giant lie.It's easy to imagine walking past an Auto-C on a shopping trip without even noticing its presence.AI has already started to become a part of our everyday life.In New Jersey this week,dozens of workers were hospitalized after a robot at an Amazon fulfillment centre accidentally broke a can and enveloped workers in an eye-and-lung-damaging gas.Days earlier in California,an auto-piloted Tesla drove a drunk,sleeping driver down a highway,which no doubt did some potential risk to the other drivers on the road.Highway patrol officers figured out on the spot how to stop the AI car.Of course,industrial accidents and drunk drivers existed as well before AI. Tools with the power to release the burden of physical labor—horses,steam machines,self-driving cars—also come with the power to injure people.And thepresence of AI-powered machines that just steps away from us is,for now,still a rare thing for most people.But the nature of robots'coming into our daily life will make it harder to recognize—or object to—the bigger changes they bring later.Walmart insists that the robot cleaners give employees more time for customer service and other tasks.Critics point out that they could just as easily become an excuse to reduce staff and wages.12.What is the difference between sci-fi movies and the reality?A.Now the human-like robots are hard to recognize.B.Now people don't go to see the sci-fi movies.C.Now the human-like robots can tell lies.D.Now it is easy to ignore the robots.13.Why were some workers in hospital in New Jersey?A.Because they damaged the robot first.B.Because the robot caused an accident on purpose.C.Because the robot made a mistake by chance.D.Because the robot driving them on the highway had an accident.14.What is the attitude of the author to AI?A.Supportive.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Indifferent.15.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Artificial intelligence is bringing great effects to our daily life.B.Walmart will soon use360robot cleaners across its stores.C.We should say no to artificial intelligence.D.Artificial intelligence is dangerous to our life.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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
