2018--2019年 江苏高三上 英语 期中试卷 分类汇编---写作(含范文)
2018--2019学年江苏高三上英语期中试卷分类汇编---写作（含范文）无锡Li Shuangying said her 18-year-old son，who just took this year's college entrance exam，would become a professional in the artificial intelligence (AI) field.Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned with making computers behave like humans. The requirement for AI talents is a solid foundation of maths and English，so for senior high graduates，they should have a higher mathematical thinking ability and have a good command of English if they want to become professionals in AI.Li Shuangying said her son always has been one of the top students in his class at one of the leading high schools in Zhongshan，Guangdong province. Zhongshan，which neighbors Guangzhou，has been one of China's pioneering cities in embracing reform and opening up. It flourished(繁荣) on labor-intensive industries，but recent rising labor shortages and costs have become a real threat. In response，local manufacturers(制造商) have been quick to embrace automation(自动化)and adopt AI-assisted robots for survival.The company Li works for，a medium-sized home appliance manufacturer with annual output of about 1 billion yuan($150 million)，is no exception. Li said she used to bring her son to her workplace from time to time，and he has developed a strong interest in AI，automation and robots.“Our family all agree that AI is the trend，and it holds great potential for future development，” Li said. That view is shared by many college students and their parents，who consider AI a desirable major.【写作内容】1. 用约30词概括上文；2. 用约120词发表你的观点，内容包括：(1) 请你谈谈对“人工智能”专业的看法(至少两点)；(2) 作为高三学生，你是否会选择“人工智能”专业？请简要说明理由(2至3点)。
2019-2020学年高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案
2019-2020学年高三英语上学期期中考试试卷及答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AAQUILA Children’s Magazine is the most intelligent read for curious kids. Full of enthusiastic articles and challenging puzzles, every issue covers science, history and general knowledge. AQUILA is a quality production, beautifully illustrated with contemporary artwork throughout.● Intelligent reading for 8-12 year-olds● Cool science and challenging projects● Inspires self-motivated learning● Exciting new topic every issueAQUILA is created and owned by an independent UK company. It has 28 pages,printed on high-quality paper and there are no advertisements or posters. Instead it is full of well-written articles, thought-provoking ideas and great contemporary artwork. Each monthly issue is centred around a new topic.AQUILA works as a superb learning extension to current primary (or KS2 and KS3) curriculum (课程), but it is much more than that! Entertaining and always surprising, AQUILA is recommended because it widens children’s interest and understanding, rather than encouraging them to concentrate only on their favourite subjects. It gives children a well-rounded understanding of the world, in all its complexity.The concepts in AQUILA can be challenging, requiring good comprehension and reading skills. 8 years is usually a good age to start. Some gentle interest from an adult is often helpful at the start.In 2020 AQUILA will have been in publication for 28 years, but it has never appeared in newsstands or shops. We are subscription only.AQUILA SubscriptionUK: 12 Months £55 - 4 Months £30Europe: 12 Months £60 -4 Months £35World: 12 Months £70 - 4 Months £35BirthdaysSelect the Birthday option, write a gift message and choose the birthday month. We will dispatch to arrive at the start of the month you have entered. The package posts in a blue envelope marked ‘Open on your birthday’.1.What is special about AQUILA?A.It is available in shops.B.It is for kids of all ages.C.It has no advertisements.D.It prints readers’ artworks.2.What does AQUILA offer its readers?A.Articles on modern art.B.Family reading materials.C.Ideas on improving readingskills.D.Knowledge beyond school subjects.3.AQUILA is intended for ________.A.foreign language learnersB.children with learning difficultiesC.parent-child reading loversD.curious kids with good comprehensionBThere is an old army joke about an officer who asks some soldiers whether any of them are interested in music. When four hands go up, the officer says, “Right, men. You can carry this grand piano down to the officers mess.”Job recruitment has become more complicated since that story first did the rounds. Today's careers require a lot more than just raw music but that sometimes makes jobs hard to define. An unfortunate result is a form of “adjective inflation” in recruitment ads as employers attempt to make routine tasks sound exciting.Candidates must sometimes wonder whether they are applying for a 9-to-5-role or to become a member of the Marvel “Avengers”. On Indeed, a job-bunting website, a bar was recently looking for "bartenders who are people focused, quality-driven, and have superhero hospitality powers". The ability to give customers the correct change was not mentioned.Another British company advertised for “a call-centre ninja, a superhero in people", a Job description which sounds a little over-the top for what was in fact a role at an insurance company in Isleworth. In case you think that ad was not typical. Indeed also had jobs demanding “ninja-like attention to detail". Short of turning up for the interview dressed head-to-toe in black, and then sneaking up behind the managing director at his desk, it is hard to see how candidates could show their ninja qualities.Not all companies require candidates to possess the qualities of a ninja, of course. Some require applicants tobe passionate. The Bluewater shopping mall in southeastEnglandwas looking for “passionate sales-driven brand ambassadors” while “passionate crew members” were needed at a bakery in westLondonfor a wage of just £8. 23 an hour. In fact, passion is pretty hard to keep consistently for 40 hours a week, month after month. Job applicants should find some information from the kind of ads that companies place. If a job ad talks about passion or superheroes, run away faster than a speeding Batmobile. Being a ninja should be reserved for teenage mutant ninja turtles.4. Why does the author mention the joke in Paragraph 1?A. To show that officers enjoy playing tricks on soldiers.B. To introduce the topic of overstated job ads.C. To explain the origin of complex job ads.D. To describe soldiers' everyday life.5. Which of the following offers a job demanding ninja qualities?A. The bar.B. The bakery.C. The insurance company.D. The Bluewater shopping mall.6. What does the author say about the ads requiring passion?A. They are unrealistic.B. They are typical of want ads.C. They are appealing to applicants.D. They are uncommon on Indeed.7. How does the author sound when talking about today’s job ads?A. Curious.B. Hesitant.C. Humorous.D. Sympathetic.CBlood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored by freezing for up to six weeks. “Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs. But also, in places where freezing may not be available, that can also be a challenge. It’s difficult to have blood available when needed.”“Thedisruptionsto regular blood donations due to COVID-19 have put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic emphasizes the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.” UniversityofLouisvillebioengineer Jonathan Kopechek said.Kopechek’s team has developeda method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated state at room temperature. They turned to an unusual preservative: a sugar called trehalose（海藻糖）, which is a common ingredient in donuts... to help make them look fresh even when they mightbe months old, and you wouldn’t knowthe difference.The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it’s made by hardy animals like tardigrades and sea monkeys—aka brine shrimp—famous for their ability to survive dehydration.So these animals can dry out completely for a long period of time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. First, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. They used ultrasound（超声波）to drill temporary holes in the cell membranes—which let some trehalose get in. And they need to have sufficient levels of trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal.“The technique could be ready for clinical test in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters. Maybe medicine bag on the Red Planet will include dried red blood cells.” Kopechek said.8. Why do people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs?A. Because blood donations aren’t popular.B. Because the blood needs can’t be met.C. Because blood storage by freezing has time limit.D. Because blood freezing is a challenge in many places.9. What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 2 mean?A. pauseB. damageC. endD. distribution10. According to the research of Kopechek’s team, what can we learn about?A. Blood can be preserved in a dehydrated state by freezing.B. Trehalose is only made by hardy animals like tardigrades.C. Trehalose can help make donuts look fresh for a long time.D. The technique of blood dehydration has been applied in clinical test.11. How did trehalose get into blood cell?A. By the process of dehydration and rehydration.B. By being dried and made into a power.C. By rehydrating the blood returning back to normal.D. By the temporary holes drilled by ultrasound.DWhile the start of a new school year is always exciting, this year was even more so for some elementary school students inAuckland,New Zealand. They became the world’s first kids to be “taught” by a digital teacher.Before you start imagining a human-like robot walking around the classroom, Will is just an avatar that appears on the student’s desktop, or smartphone screen, when ordered to come.The autonomous animation platform has been modeled after the human brain and nervous system, allowing it to show human-like behavior. The digital teacher is assigned to teach Vector’s “Be sustainable with energy”— a free program forAucklandelementary schools.Just like the humans it replaced, Will is able to instantly react to the students’ responses to the topic. Thanks to a webcam and microphone, the avatar not only responds to questions the kids may have, but also picks up non-verbal cues. For instance, if a student smiles at Will, he responds by smiling back. This two-way interaction not only helps attract the students’ attention, but also allows the program’s developers to monitor their engagement, and make changes if needed.Nikhil Ravishankar believes that Will-like avatars could be a novel way to catch the attention of the next generation. He says, “I have a lot of hope in this technology as a means to deliver cost-effective, rich, educational experience in the future.”The program, in place since August 2018, has been a great success thus far. Ravishankar says, “ What was fascinating to me was the reaction of the children to Will. The way they look at the world is so creative and different, and Will really captured their attention.” However, regardless of how popular it becomes, Will is unlikely to replace human educators any time soon.12. What was special for some elementary school students inAuckland?A. A digital teacher taught them.B. They first saw something digital.C. This was the start of a new school year.D. They could get close to smartphone screen.13. What is the benefit of this two-way interaction?A. It can smile back.B. It can use microphone.C. It can talk any topic for free.D. It can change if necessary.14. What’s Ravishankar’s attitude to Will’s replacing Human educators soon?A. Optimistic.B. Doubtful.C. Unclear.D. Disapproving.15. What might be the best title for the passage?A. New High-tech Contributes to EducationB. The World’s First Digital Teacher Appears in Classroom.C. The World’s First Digital Teacher, a Help to StudentsD.New ZealandWill Replace Teachers in Classrooms第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

A news report.BOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently – on e who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The head lines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm , he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells m e he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. H e appreciates the responsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coach ed to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good ques tions, but his editors usually askhow long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can pla y, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him tur n his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get ex cited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, ph otographers, artists- everyone- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential.If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.25. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.26. What does the reporter want most from his editors in thei r talks?A. Finding the news value of his stories.B. Giving him financial support.C. Helping him to find issues.D. Improving his good ideas.27. Who probably wrote the letter?A. An editor.B. An artist.C. A rep orter.D. A reader.28. The letter aims to remind editors that they should ______ __.A. keep their best reporters at all costsB. give more freedom to their reportersC. be aware of their reporters’ professional developmentD. appreciate their reporters’ working styles and attitudes CPacing and PausingSara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Bett y never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained t o Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The proble m had to do with expectations about pa cing and pausing. Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.It may not be coincidental （巧合）that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between tur ns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pause s, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty h erself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of t he talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America o r Israel.The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation techniques, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions n ot about conversational style but about personality and abilitie s. These habitual differences are often the basis for dangerous stereotyping （思维定式）. And these social phenomena can have very personal co nsequences. For example, a woman from thesouthwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department g ot together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in – and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was vi ewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.That’s why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause – can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychological problems – even in the mind of the woman he rself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and regis tered for assertiveness training.29. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?A. Betty was talkat ive.B. Betty was an interrupter.C. Betty did not take her turn.D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.30. According to the passage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between t urns?A. Americans.B. Israelis.C. The British.D. The Finns.31. We can learn from the passage that ________.A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and f ast pa cingB. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the USC. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometim esD. one should receive training to build up one’s confidence32. The underlined word “assertiveness”in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. being willing to speak one’s mindB. being able to increase one’s powerC. being ready to make one’s own judgmentD. being quick to express one’s ideas confidentlyDWhen something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or“I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car brok e down.”It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You ha ve no power and could do nothing that helps change the situa tion. However, you can have great power over what happens t o you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusin g on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to s uccess.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if yo u were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start t o carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you coul d call for help when in need. For another example, if your coll eague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibilit y or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inab ility rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should aecept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work s uccessfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his jo b well.This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are succes sful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer proble ms in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to f ace as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those pro blems as challenges and apportunities to develop their own ta lents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.”Once you are co nfident about your power over bad situations, problems are ju st stepping stones for success.33.
