AAre you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.CX-1Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.AiboSony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.ForpheusForpheus, an “a thleti c” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.Black Box VRThough many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.1．What is the feature of CX-1?A．It can be opened by facial expressions.

That meeting turned out to be my exit interview. I was 64 years old at the time. It wasn’t completely unexpected. I signed a pile of papers and left the company.So, 40 plus years of employment was over. I had a good reputation and background. Retirement was not a choice for me. I wanted to do something. And then an idea came into my mind, born from my concern for our environment. I wantedto build my own business, designing and manufacturing biodegradable（可生物降解的）packaging from waste. This iscalled clean technology, and it was really meaningful to me. It could help reduce billions of pounds of single-use plastic packaging wasted each year.Five years later, I’m enraptured and proud to share with you that our income has doubled every year and we have nodebt. Meanwhile, I have a wonderful partner, and we’ve won more than 20 awards for the work that we’ve done.And I am doing the most rewarding and meaningful work of my life right now. But what I really long for is to find other first-time entrepreneurs（企业家）who are my age. I want to connect with them.So I want to do something about that in a few years. I want us to start talking more about people who don’t become entrepreneurs until they are seniors. And then connecting all of them across industries, regions and countries—building a community. 4．What happened to the author nine years ago?A．He was fired from his job.

The market is so crowded that for a new competitor to even get noticed, they’d have to come up with something new. Enter “Die With Me”, a fresh chat app that can only be used when your smart phone has 5% or less battery left.Die With Me allows total strangers with low battery to enter an online chatroom and talk as they wait for their smart phones to shut off completely. Using Die With Me requires nothing more than choosing a username first and allowing the app to read your battery situation.The idea behind the app was to turn the terrible experience of dealing with low phone battery into a positive one. The app’s co-developer Dries Depoorter said, “I was in a strange city and my phone battery was low when I was on my way back to the hotel. I was really stressed about this as night fell. At that moment, I had the idea for an app that we could only use when we had low battery. But I didn’t know how it would work until we came up with the idea of making it a public chatroom.”The app was shown by developers David Surprenant from Canada and Dries Depoorter from Belgium at theInternational Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam.According to Depoorter, the app has so far recorded over half a million messages in conversations worldwide, with an average of eight people in the chatroom at any given time. Depoorter also said he and Surprenant intend to make a book with a selection of messages recorded by the app at some point in the future.8．What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A．People enjoy making friends online.

D．Extreme stress from his work.11．What is the best title for the passage?A．Popular messaging apps on the InternetB．Convenient ways of using Die With MeC．An app used only by smart phones with low batteryD．Tips on using your smart phone with 5% battery leftDBoth Germans and Americans share much common etiquette（礼仪）. Both place the fork on the left and the knife on the right in formal table settings. However, more so than Americans, Germans are noted for the carefulness with whichthey approach etiquette. For example, each flower has a specific meaning in Germany. When visiting Germany, it is wise to be aware of the characteristics of German etiquette.In Germany it is good etiquette to shake an individual’s hand when you first meet him or her. Also, handshakes are important when they conduct business and when they come or go from a meeting. For informal greetings among friends, Germans will lightly kiss one another on both cheeks or the air next to the cheeks. Always refer to someone with a title before their name in a social setting. “Fr au”is Ms. And “Herr”is Mr. They should be put in front of the name of the individual to whom you are referring.If you are invited to visit someone in Germany, it is important to bring a small gift such as wine or candy. If you take a wine, be sure to pick an imported one, as bringing a German wine might send a message to the host that he or she does not have a good taste in wine. If you decide to take flowers, yellow roses, which convey joy and friendship, are a goodchoice. Red roses indicate romance and carnations （康乃馨）symbolize mourning. Do not sit down in someone’s housewithout being invited to sit first.Germans are organized, appreciating structures in their daily lives. They plan out their day, and it is bad manners to interrupt schedules. They are also very particular about maintaining orderly homes. They place a high priority on cleanliness and take great pains to keep everything in order. 12．Why does the author mention the fact that each flower has a different meaning to Germany?A．To show Germans are particular about etiquette.B．To remind us to choose flowers carefully inGermany.

B．Bringing a small gift.C．Taking an imported wine. D．Sitting without beingasked.15．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．Germans keep strict schedules every day.

河南省郑州一中2018届高三上学期阶段测试(四)英语试卷(含答案)
18 届高三阶段测试（四）英语试题第一部分听力（略）第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40 分）第一节（共15 小题：每小题2分，满分30 分）AIt’s four o’c lock on a W ednesday at a private swimming pool in the W ashington, D.C. area.T wo fathers talk about getting their kids ready for a baseball-themed birthday party that evening. Both fathers are trying to get their sons dried, dressed and ready to get in the car. When I ask one of the fathers if he is a stay-at-home dad, he quickly answers, “no.” But, then he adds that he did lose his job six weeks ago. He says he is temporarily a stay-at-home Dad.The other father, RJ Respress, has been a stay-at-home dad for the past 10 years. He has a 10-year-old son named Ben and a 7-year-old daughter named Sophie. Being a stay-at-home dad now, he says, is much different than it was 10 years ago. “… and so when I first started staying home, there weren’t a lot of dads around. It wasn’t a thing yet. And being home as a dad at that point you definitely stood out. I stood out. But now, I don’t think it makes a lot of difference, honestly. The stay-at-home dad phenomenon, if you will, I think, everyone seems to know about it. It’s not peculiar. Y ou see them all the time.”He is right. Families in the U.S. are changing. A new study finds that in the U.S. more than two million fathers are staying home to take care of the house and family. This number is twice that of 25 years ago. In 2012, 16 percent of all parents in the U.S. were stay-at-home dads.Gretchen Livingston is with the Pew Research Center. She says the number of stay-at-home dads is only going to grow.She says in the last 25 years there have been changes as far as dads taking on more care giving responsibilities and mothers taking on more bread-winner responsibilities. She adds that the number of hours a day that dads spend caring for their kids has tripled in the past decades. That is a huge change.The study finds that disability, sickness and unemployment are among the reasons that fathers stay home. But, some fathers do so simply to spend more time with their children. 21. What would be the best title for this passage? A.The peculiar phenomenon in U.S.B. The changing roles of the families in U.S.C.Fathers are the key role in families.D. Families become more important in U.S.22. From Paragraph3 we can infer that .A. there is a slight change of attitude toward a stay-at-home Dad between the past decades and nowB. the stay-at-home dad phenomenon was peculiar in the pastC. to be honest, RJ Respress does not want to be a stay-at-home dadD. there are a lot of differences between a stay-at-home Dad and a working-out Dad23. What does the underlined word “tripled ” mean in the six paragraph? A.Three times. B. T wice.C. More than.D. MultiplyBAt a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He wasjust able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly . He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolateinto a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing poleand gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.By t h e t ime w h e r eher雾气）had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore. The outer fringe （ 边 缘 ） o f the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly . All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake. Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying of a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly it soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy . 24. Dave got up early in the morning to . A. enjoy the scene of the lake B. seek adventure at the lake C. go fishing in the lakeD. take a walk by the lake25. According to the story, which of the following is TRUE? A.Dave broke the quietness of the lake.B. Dave was familiar with the surroundings.C.Dave took a picture of the lake with him.D. Dave forgot the fishing pole at the beginning.26. What can we learn from the end of the story? A.Dave was hopeful of catching a lot of fish.B. Dave wished the weather would be better.C. Dave was happy that dawn was broken.D. Dave expected someone else would come.CSome children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Y ear One student, “operates under the theory of what’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine,” says his mother. “The other day I bought two new Star W ars light sabers（剑）. Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using thebeat-up one s.”“Examine the extended family, and you’ll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It’s an inheritable trait,” says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not beparticularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位）when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.Whether it’s inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn’t healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John T aylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, “have secret feelings of weakne ss” and “a desire to feel safe.” It’s the parent s’role to provide that protection.When a “boss chil d” doesn’t learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.“I see more and more parents giving up their power,”says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years. “They bend too far because they don’t want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxi ous.”27. Bossy children like Stephen Jackson . A.make good decisionsB. show self-centerednessC. lack care from othersD. have little sense of fear28. The underlined phrase “inheritable trait” in Paragraph 2 means . A.inborn natureB. developed characterC. accepted theoryD. particular environment29. The study on bossy behavior implies that parents . A.should give more power to their childrenB. should be strict with their childrenC. should not be so anxious about their childrenD. should not set limits for their children30. Bossy children may probably become . A.relaxed B. skillfulC. hesitantD. lonely31. What is the passage mainly about?A. How bossy behavior can be controlled.B. How we can get along with bossy children.C.What leads to children’s bossy behavior.D. What effect bossy behavior brings about.DIn meditation, people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let goAccording to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causes a marketchange in how the brain all o cate s( 分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people atcatching such fast-changing stimuli(刺激), like facial expressions.The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience inthe experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day. A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both group looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. “I am a much better listener,” he said. “I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are sayi ng.”32. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to .A. feelingsB. mindsC. peopleD. thoughts33. Meditations manage their daily tasks better because t h e y A.are given less pressure.B. allocate their attention better.C.have more stimuli for life.D. practice them more frequently.34. In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours A.were more likely to catch both of the members .B. were used to memorizing numbers in groups.C.usually ignored the first number observed.D. paid more attention to numbers than to letters.35. T h e s t udy prov e s t h atA. meditation improves one’s health.B.brain activity can be recorded.C. human attention can be trained.D. mediators have a good sense of hearing.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit（联系）groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number（中位数）of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction（消亡）, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers) , Chiapaneco in Mexico (150) , Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three）or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark) : none of these seems to have much chance of survival.（1）What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times？A.They were large in number.B.They developed very fast.C.They were closely connected.D.They had similar patterns.（2）Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2？A.Advanced.plex.C.Modern.D.Powerful.（3）How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present？A.About 3,400. B.About 6,800. C.About 1,200. D.About 2,400.（4）What is the main idea of the text？A.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.B.New languages will be created.C.Geography determines language evolution.D.Human development results in fewer languages.4.We may think we're a culture that gets rid of our worn technology at the first sight of something shiny and new, but a new study shows that we keep using our old devices（装置）well after they go out of style. That's bad news for the environment—and our wallets—as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things.To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life—from when its minerals are mined to when we stop using the device. This method provided a readout for how home energy use has evolved since the early 1990s. Devices were grouped by generation. Desktop computers, basic mobile phones, and box-set TVs defined 1992. Digital cameras arrived on the scene in 1997. And MP3 players, smart phones, and LCD TVs entered homes in 2002, before tablets and e-readers showed up in 2007.As we accumulated more devices, however, we didn't throw out our old ones. "The living-room television is replaced and gets planted in the kids' room, and suddenly one day, you have a TV in every room of the house," said one researcher. The average number of electronic devices rose from four per household in 1992 to 13 in 2007. We're not just keeping these old devices—we continue to use them. According to the analysis of Babbitt's team, old desktop monitors and box TVs with cathode ray tubes are the worst devices with their energy consumption and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions（排放）more than doubling during the 1992 to 2007 window.So what's the solution（解决方案）? The team's data only went up to 2007, but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function, such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing. They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%.（1）What does the author think of new devices?A.They are no better than the old.B.They are environment-friendly.C.They go out of style quickly.D.They cost more to use at home.（2）Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?A.To test the life cycle of a product.B.To reduce the cost of minerals.C.To find out electricity consumption of the devices.D.To update consumers on new technology.（3）Which of the following uses the least energy?A.The tablet.B.The box-set TV.C.The desktop computer.D.The LCD TV.（4）What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?A.Take them apart.B.Stop using them.C.Recycle them.D.Upgrade them.第二节（毎小题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.选项中有两项为多余选项。

For this list, we stic to those that have been released in recent years and we choose not to include TV hits lie Game of Thrones or Sherloc. Stranger Things This US television series is a combination of three genres (类型)the typical college movies where the losers rise up, the science fiction films about cray scientists who reached their top in the 1980s and the horror movies written in the style of Stephen ing. This show, starring Winona Ryder and a group of amaing ids, has managed to combine these genres so well that it has already acquired a vast army of fans worldwide. The Pillars of the Earth It is set in the twelfth century, a time which is considered one of the darest and most romantic periods in the history of England. Based on the best-selling novel written by en Follett, this TV show starring the brilliant Eddie Redmayne is widely recognied as one of the best historical TV dramas of recent years. Mahabharata This Indian Hindi-language series is lied by many people for being regarded as the simplest and the most fun way to learn about the age-old wisdom of the Indian people. It tells us about the ings and heroes who love, fight and mae wise decisions. This drama is about the endless struggle between good and evil. The Crown This story about the transformation of the young Princess Eliabeth into the queen shows everything about the British monarchy (君主制).It includes many storylines, each of which could be made into a separate TV show. The series focuses on the age-old themes of family, marriage and politics, and this is probably what maes The Crown win popularity. 1. What do we now about Stranger Things? A. Stephen ing determined its style. B. It consists of three children stories. C. Most of its central characters are ids. D. It’s much more popular than Sherloc. 2.Which aspect of the Pillars of the Earth is stressed in the tet? A.Its bacground. B. Its staff. C. Its theme song. D. Its plot. 3. Which TV series is more lie a biography? A.Stranger Things. B.The Pillars of the Earth. C.Mahabharata. D.The Crown. 4. Which of the following do the four TV series? A. They are highly thought of by the audience. B. Their storylines are relatively comple. C. They mainly discuss universal themes. D. Their original languages are English. B When I was growing up, the gold standard for cancer-themed tear-jerers (催人泪下的故事）was “Something for Joey”，a made-for-TV movie—ased on a true story—bout the bond between a big-time college football player and his fiercely loyal little brother who is dying of childhood leuemia (白血病）. Lauren Grodstein taes a different approach with her fourth novel, “Our Short History”. What sets Grodstein’s novel apart is that the cancer diagnosis switches places Jacob Neulander, the 6-year-old boy at the center of the boo, is cancer-free, while his mother, aren, a 43-year-old political consultant (顾问） who raised Jacob on her own, has recently been found to have late-stage ovarian cancer. With the time aren has left, she decides to write her son a boo and fill it with everything she wants him to now a catalog of the things that have made her happy; the story of how he was named; and an account of how, icing and screaming, she allows Jacob to start spending time with his biological father, a one-term congressman (国会议员）from New Jersey who broe aren’s heart and lives with his new wife along the Palisades. “I plan to be honest here,” aren promises at the novel’s beginning. “I plan to be etraordinarily honest. I will not edit out the truth; I will not try to mae myself loo better than I really was.” This total honesty leads aren to admit uncomfortable truths to Jacob—the night you were born was not the best night of my life,” she writes. “I was terrified; I was tired; I was sad’’一and, especially, to record the disturbance of feelings that run high after Jacob and his father meet for the first time and get along famously. They bond over Playmobil and Star Wars; she realies, watching the two of them together, that Jacob is “eactly lie him” aren lets her paranoia (偏执狂）run wild. She imagines Jacob posing for a Christmas card with his new family after she’s gone; she yells at him when he suggests that his father’s wife would mae him snacs on demand. This eruption of maternal envy and anger is the dramatic high point of the novel — “I am your only mother!” aren yells. The rest of “Our Short History,” unfortunately, is content to deliver the quieter pleasures for adults. 5.What do we now about Something for Joey? A.It’s essential fictional. B. It’s intended for the movie theatre. C. It focuses on a college student’s cancer. D. It has the common features of tear-jerers. 6. Which of the following is TRUE about Lauren Grodstein? ( ) A. She is a political consultant. B. She has a unique writing style. C. She lies writing tear-jerers most.
