For tourists, lighthouses canbe an interesting place to visit. , and photograph for historians they are a window. to the past and reminder of a different way of life For sailors and ship captains, they are a sign of safety. They can protecta boat from running aground (搁浅) at night or other times when there is a fog or a storm.Originally, lighthouses were built with rooms for the lighthouse keeper. It was the job of the keeper to make sure that it was always working . Although it could be lonely at times, it was an important job. Today, almost all lighthouses are automated which means that there is no need for lighthouse keepers.No one is certain when lighthouses first . We do know that lighthouses is probably more than 3,000 years old. An epic Greek poem titled The Iliad was written by a man named Homer around 1200 B.C.In the poem, Homer refers to a lighthouse, giving modern scholars an idea of how long lighthouses have been a part of human life.Early lighthouses were quite different from today's lighthouses. They were usually made of iron baskets that were Suspended from long poles. The baskets burning coal or wood. In the 1700s, these baskets were taken the place of by oil or gas lanterns. When electricity was invented, the lanterns were changed into electric beacons (灯标).In 1822, a French physicist named Augustin Fresnel invented a lens (透镜) that would prove to be very important in lighthouse technology. With the invention of the Fresnel lens, it became possible to make a beam of light reach as far as 28 miles from shore!Lighthouse beam can be used to help sailors identify the lighthouse and their own location. Sailors can the patterns and lengths of lights from the lighthouse. Then they look it up in a book that will tell them which lighthouse they have seen.During the day, sailors can identify lighthouses simply by their . Some are short and fat, while others are tall and thin. They can be made of many different materials, such as wood, stone, brick and steel. The patterns also differ greatly. Some lighthouses are painted with stripes or a series of diamond shapes that make them look different Others can be recognized by their shape—round, square or rectangular.Many lighthouses are not in use. They are sometimes changed into museums, inns, centers, or even private homes. If you ever have a chance to visit one, getting glimpse of history is worth the trip.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)17.（2021·上海徐汇区·模拟）Visitors are not allowed to enter that museum in groups, but at a time.(second)18.（2021·上海徐汇区·模拟）Compared to all my classmates' busy weekend schedule, seems a bitrelaxing.

It's easy to imagine robot cleaners and factory workers, but others need human connection and creativity. But are we underestimating (低估) what robots can do? In some cases, they already p better than doctors at diagnosing illness. Also, some patients might feel more c sharing their private information with a machine than a person. Could there be a place for robots in education after all?British education expert Anthony Seldon thinks So. And he even has a date for the robot take over of the classroom: 2027. He p robots will do most work of transferring information and teachers will be like assistants. Intelligent robots will read students' faces, movements and maybe even brain s . Then they will adapt (使……适应) the information to each student. It's not a popular opinion and it's unlikely robots will ever understand other people's feelings and be able to really connect with humans like another human can.One thing is certain, though. A robot teacher is better than no teacher at all. Teachers all over the world are l . In some parts of the world, there aren't enough teachers and 9 to 16 percent of children under the age of 14 don't go to school. That problem could be partly solved by robots because they can teach anywhere and won't suffer from stress, or get t , or move somewhere for an easier, higher-paidjob.Teaching is generally recognized as difficult and teachers feel overworked. Perhaps the question is not "Will robots take the place of teachers?" but "How can robots help teachers?" Office workers can use software to do things like organize and answer emails, arrange meetings and update calendars. Teachers waste a lot of time doing non-teaching work, i more than 11 hours a week marking homework. If robots could cut the time teachers spend marking homework and writing reports, teachers would have more time and energy for the parts of the job humans do best.(1) p(2) c(3) p(4) s(5) l(6) t(7) i三、完形填空31.（2021·上海徐汇区·模拟）Dan and Michelle sat at a picnic table in the park on a beautiful fall afternoon.

The restrictions on tourism mean fewer people come to see the monkeys and feed them・M We need to make an effort to make sure that they eat properly.

It was the largest wildfire in the state's recorded history, breaking the record previously set in 2018. After the fire, land managers must determine where to most efficiently plant new trees.A predictive mapping model called the Postfire Spatial Conifer Restoration Planning Tool recently described in Ecological Applications could inform these decisions, saving time and expense. The tool can “show where young trees are needed most, where the forest isn't going to come back on its own, where we need to intervene（干预）if we want to maintain forests," says lead author Joseph Stewart, an ecologist at the University of California, Davis.To develop the model, Stewart and his colleagues classified data collected from more than 1,200 study plots in 19 areas that burned between 2004 and 2012. They combined these data with information on rainfall, geography, climate, forest composition and bum severity.Theyalso included how many seeds sample conifer trees （针叶树）produced in 216locations over 18 years, assessing whether the trees release different numbers of seeds after a fire.The tool's potential benefits are significant, says Kimberley Davis, a conservation scientist at theUniversityofMontana, who was not involved in the study. Those managers will still have to make hard decisions, such as which species to plant in areas that may experience warmer and drier conditions resulting from climate change, but the model provides some research-based guidance to help the forests recover.4. What challenge do land managers face after the wildfire?A. Lack of wood supplies.B. Where to plant new trees best.C. How to save the burned trees.D. Loss of trees and wild animals.5. What's the main idea of paragraph 2?A. The function of the tool.B. The disadvantages of the tool.C. The improvement of the tool.D. The development of the tool.6. What does the underlined word "They" refer to?A. The study plots.B. The data.C. Stewart and his colleagues.D. The seeds.7. What isDavis' attitude towards the tool?A. Skeptical.B. Ambiguous.C. Tolerant.D. Optimistic.CPortraits as ArtAccording to a dictionary, portraiture is “a representation (描绘) of a person, especially of the face by drawing or painting alikeness.” However, this definition neglects the complexities of portraiture. Portraits are works of art that engage with ideas of identity rather than just a likeness. These concepts of identity involve social rank, gender, age, profession, character of the subject, etc. It is impossible to copy all the aspects of identity. Therefore, portraits reflect only certain qualities of subjects. Portrait art has also undergone significant shifts in artistic practice. The majority of portraits are the outcome of current artistic fashions and favored styles. Therefore, portrait art is an art category providing various engagement with social, psychological, and artistic practices and expectations.Since portraits are different from other art categories, they are worthy of separate study. During their production, portraits require the presence of a specific person, or an image of the individual. In many instances, the production of portraiture has required sittings, which result in interaction between the subject(s) and the artist throughout the creation of the work. In certain instances, portrait artists depended on a combination of different involvement with their subjects. If the sitter can’t sit in the studio regularly, portraitists could use his or her photographs. InEurope, during the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the sitting time was sometimes decreased by focusing only on the head. Theoretically, portraitists could work from impressions or memories when creating a painting, but this rarely occurred according to documented records. Nonetheless, whether thework is based on model sittings, copying a photograph, or using memory, the process of painting a portrait is linked with the model’s attendance.Furthermore, portrait painting can be distinguished from other artistic categories by its connection with appearance, or likeness. As such, the art of portrait painting got a reputation for imitation instead of for artistic innovation. Based on Renaissance art theory, portraiture was related to the level of a mechanical exercise as opposed to a fine art. Michelangelo’s well-known protest against portraits is only one example. During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the attitude to portraiture was critical. Even so, artists from around the globe persisted in painting portraits despite their theoretical objections. Picasso, for example, became widely-known forcubist still-life painting(立体派静物画) early in his career, but some of his early experiments in this new style were his portraits of art dealers.8.
