Its huge canvas（画布）encompasses（包含）not just Napoleon's wars against the Russian and Austro-Hungarian empires from 1805 to 1812，but a cast whose actions and emotions span the breath of human consciousness.As a literary critic has noted,Tolstoy is the supreme novelist ofhuman conflicts.His epic（史诗）is a（n）（5）______ examination of how people respond to the pressure of both wars and ordinary life.So large is Tolstoy's world,Ms.Li reckoned,that there could be no better companion for people （6）______ in isolation.She thought of virtual book club to sustain readersthrough the lockdown.Participants around the globe would plough through this booktogether and share their thoughts on social media.It would be an anchor in （7）______ times.To their amazement,when it began in mid-March 3，000 people on six continents signed up.Other book clubs have（8）______ up to discuss great literature during the pandemic.But Tolstoy's novel reflects the atmosphere of life in quarantine better.Its（9）______structure,shifting between battlefields and the salons of Russian high society,mirrors the disorienting split in readers' own attention - between their own personal,stilled states and the calamity（灾祸）（10）______ outside.(2021·上海市市辖区·月考试卷)When I re-entered the full-time workforce a few years ago after a decade of lonely self-employment,there was one thing I was looking forward to the most：the opportunity to have work friends once again.It wasn't until I entered the corporate world that I realized,for me at least,being friends with colleagues didn't emerge as a（n）（1）______ at all.This is surprising when you consider the prevailing emphasis by scholars and trainers and managers on the importance of cultivating close （2）______ relationships at work.So much research has explored the way in which collegial（同事的）ties can help overcome a range of workplace issues （3）______ productivity and the quality of work output such as team-based conflict,jealousy,undermining anger,and more.Perhaps my expectations of lunches,water-cooler gossip and caring,deep-and-meaningful conversations were a（4）______ of the last time I was in that kind of office environment.Whereas now,as I near the end of my fourth decade,I realize work can be fully functional and entirely fulfilling without （5）______ to be best mates with the people sitting next to you.In an academic analysis just published in the profoundly-respected Journal of Management,researchers have looked at the concept of "indifferent relationships," a simple term that summarizes the fact that relationships at work can （6）______ benon-interpersonal,inconsequential,unimportant and even,dare I say it,disposable or substitutable.Indifferent relationships are neither positive nor negative.The limited research conducted thus far indicates they're especially（7）______ among those who value independence over cooperation,and harmony over confrontation.Indifference is also the（8）______ option among those who are socially lazy.Maintaining relationships over the long term takes effort,which,for some of us,is much too （9）______ .As noted above,indifferent relationships may not always be the most（10）______ approach in resolving some of the issues that pop up at work.But there are nevertheless several apparently proven benefits.One of those is（11）______ .Less time chatting and socializing means more time working and churning（产出）.The other is（12）______ .As human beings,we're programmed to compare ourselves to each other in what is an anxiety - causing phenomenon.Apparently,we look down on acquaintances （泛泛之交）more so than friends.Since the former is very common among those （13）______ to indifferent relationships,their predominance can promote individuals' sense ofself-worth.Ego aside,a third advantage is that the emotional（14）______ of indifferent relationships hasbeen found to enhance critical evaluation,to strengthen one's focus on task resolution,and to gain greater access to valuable information.None of that might be as（15）______ as after-work socializing but,hey,I'll take it anyway.3.

The author came to the valley to fish as well as to make peace with his worried mind.B. The deafening sound of the waterfall made the author and his dog quite scared.C. The author's parents advised him to discover nature in the depths of the valley.D. The valley environment is said to have a healing power upon one's heart.19.Which of the following is the best word to fill in the blank in the 3rd paragraph？______A. rushingB. shakingC. transformingD. encouraging20.Which of the following statements is true about the author______A. His occupation as a cameraman added to his inner frustration.B. He got to make friends with his mother's friend because of fly-fishing.C. In his spare time,he often walked through the vegetation along the paths.D. Finally he was cured by his childhood experience with sand sharks and puffer fish.21.Which of the following best serves as the title for the passage？______A. My Job in Photography Led Me to a Valley.B. A River Heals the Scar Left by a Camera.C. The Call of Naturalists Pushed Me to Explore.D. The Fishing Rod Links Nature With My Heart.(2021·上海市市辖区·月考试卷)EHudly wireless Price：＄349Staying focused on the road while glancing at your smart-phone or sat nav for directions can be a distraction.That's why Hudly has created its transparent heads-up display to keep your journey information right in your sight-line.Paired wirelessly with your smart-phone,this6.2-inch display allows you to view the road and its vibrant directions simultaneously.Also equipped with light sensors,this heads-up display will automatically adapt its visibility to suit your environment.Roav VIVAPrice：＄130Bring Alexa along for the ride with this plug-in speaker from Anker.Paired with yoursmart-phone,VIVA can make calls,stream music and provide audio navigation with simple voice commands.Plugged straight into your vehicle's power outlet,this travel-size companion comes equipped with two USB ports so you and your passengers can charge smart devices on the go.ZUS Smart Tire Safety MonitorPrice：＄159.98Keeping your tires at the correct pressure is of vital importance to not only staying safe on the roads,but to maintain low fuel consumption.With the ZUS smart safety monitors by Nonda,you receive real-time alerts if your tires are leaking air or in need of a refill.Taking only minutes to install,these high-tech dust caps simply screw on each tire and give you feedback on how each tire is performing,recording a detailed history of pressure changes over time.GOFARPrice：＄149Open a window into your vehicle's health with GOFAR.By simply plugging the GUFAR adapter into your ear's computer,receive real-time information about any mechanical problems or performance information sent straight to your smart-phone.In the same way a Formula Idriver monitors their fuel efficiency on the track,the GOFAR Ray keeps you up to date on how you consume fuel with the simple dashboard light array（排列）.If you're hitting the gas too hard,the GOFAR Ray will illuminate red to let you know you're wasting fuel and green when you're driving optimally（最佳地）.Automatic connected car assistantPrice：from ＄99.99If you want to get to know your car inside out,then the Automatic connected car assistant is the perfect addition to your vehicle.By simply plugging the compact diagnostic device into the vehicle,a whole host of information about your car is available at your ing the Automatic app,this driving assistant can give detailed diagnostics about maintenance issues and performance alongside crash alerts,your vehicle's real-time location and roadside assistance.Jabra FreewayPrice：＄99.99If your car isn't Bluetooth connected,then Jabra Freeway is a great gadget to listen tohigh-quality sound and answer and make calls at the touch of a button or through voice activation.With three built-in speakers,Freeway offers impressive surround sound.However,if you prefer your vehicle's speakers,the built-in FM transmitter will connect your smart-phone straight to the car's internal sound system.Equipped with a motion sensor,Freeway will always sense when you get into the car and automatically connect to your smart-phone.22.Mary,a green-hand driver,wants to know the overall health of her second-hand car and toensure road safety and timely help if anything happens.What's the best product for her？______A.

"There has been a kind of revival or a rethinking about what role guilt can serve"，says Amrisha Vaish,a psychology researcher at the University of Virginia,adding that this revival is part of a larger recognition that emotions aren't binary - feelings that may be advantageous in one context may be harmful in another.Jealousy and anger,for example,may have evolved to alert us to important inequalities.Too much happiness can be destructive. And guilt,by prompting us to think more deeply about our own goodness,can encourage humans to make up for errors and fix relationships.Guilt,in other words,can help hold a cooperative species together.It is a kind of social glue.Viewed in this light,guilt is an opportunity.Work by Tina Malti,a psychology professor at the University of Toronto,suggests that guilt may compensate for an emotional deficiency.In a number of studies,Malti and others have shown that guilt and sympathy may represent different pathways to cooperation and sharing.Some kids who are low in sympathy may make up for that shortfall by experiencing more guilt,which can control their disgusting behaviors.And vice versa：high sympathy can substitute for low guilt.In a 2014 study,for example,Malti looked at 244 ing caregiver assessments and the children's self-observations,she rated each child's overall sympathy level and his or her tendency to feel negative emotions after moral wrongdoings.Then the kids were handed chocolate coins,and given a chance to share them with an anonymous child.For thelow-sympathy kids,how much they shared appeared to turn on how likely they were to feel guilty.The ones more likely to feel guilty tended to share more,even though they hadn't magically become more sympathetic to the other children."That's good news," Malti says. "We can be prosocial because we caused harm and we feel regret."25.The underlined word "appease" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to " ______ ".A. contentB. disappointC. amuseD. distract26.The writer mentions the comparison of guilt to " a jacket stuffed with stones" to showpeople's ______ .A. general impression of guilt being overestimatedB. incorrect idea about the nature and function of guiltC. out-of date belief of guilt being their primary burdenD. long-held prejudice against those who often feel guilty27.What can be inferred from the chocolate coin experiment______A. It's necessary to ensure kids feel guilty about their wrongdoings.B. Regretful kids need to be given a chance to correct their behaviors.C. Feeling guilty has the power to make kids become more sympatheticD. The highest guilt could possibly be found in kids with the lowest sympathy.28.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？______A. Guilt vs SympathyB. Good News for Guilty PeopleC. Don't feel Guilty About Your GuiltD. What Lies Underneath Your Guilt(2021·上海市市辖区·月考试卷)AI In the Future Workplace Artificial Intelligence is making its way into business.As our special report this week explains,firms of all types are exploiting AI to forecast demand,hire workers and deal with customers.In 2017 companies spent around ＄22 billion on AI-related mergers and acquisitions,about 26 times more than in 2015.The McKinsey Global Institute,a think-tank within a consultancy,claims that just applying AI to marketing,sales and supply chains could create economic value,including profits and efficiencies,of ＄2.7 billion over the next 20 years. （1）______ .Such forecasts fuel anxiety as well as hope.Start with the benefits.AI ought to improve productivity.Humanyze collects data from employees' calendars and e-mails to workout,say,whether office layouts favor teamwork. （2）______ .Employees will gain,too.Thanks to the progress in computer vision.AI can check that workers are wearing safety equipment and that no one has been harmed on the factory floor.Some will appreciate more feedback on their work and welcome a sense of how to do better.Yet AI's benefits will come with many potential drawbacks.Algorithms（计算程序）may not be free of the prejudices of their programmers.（3）______ .The length of a commute（通勤）may predict whether an employee will quit a job,but this focus may harm poorer applicants.Older staff might work more slowly than younger ones and could risk losing their positions if all AI looks for is efficiency.（4）______ .If your skills are in demand,you are more likely to be able to resist than if you are easy to replace.Paid-by-the-hour workers in low-wage industries such as retailing will be especially subject to harm.That could fuel protest of labor unions seeking to representemployees' interests and to set regulations.Even then,the choice in some jobs will be between being replaced by a robot or being treated like one.29.

Patience is a word that has appeared in many forms over the past two months.I don't see myself as being the most patient person in the world but there was something that struck me on my first week of work. I had just finished a session with two students and just as they were leaving the classroom, one of the students turned back and said, "Thank you for your patience." That was an early reminder of the importance of being patient as a teacher. It also made me reflect on the language teachers that I have had over the years, ones that demonstrated a high level of patience and understanding that has shaped my language learning path. Moreover, it helped me to realize the importance of demonstrating patience in the classroom as it can be the difference between building someone's confidence in a language or breaking down their confidence entirely.Living my life constantly in French is not easy but the people of Quebec are very patient. They repeat things several times and they are more than happy to wait while I find the correct words to express myself and find the correct word order. It's a learning process but with the patience of others, the process is slightly less nervous. At the end of the day, making mistakes shows you are trying and I think that is greatly appreciated by Quebecers.When I first arrived in Matane I kept getting headaches from having to concentrate all the time due to the language and even overhearing other people's conversations was hard work! I had to keep reminding myself that it would take time, and two months later the headaches are a distant memory and my ears have become more tuned to their accent. The key is to be patient with yourself.4.What is important as a teacher according to Paragraph 2?A.Understanding.B.Patience.C.Confidence.D.Help.5.In a small town called Matane, which language do the local people speak?A.English.B.Spanish.C.French.D.Italian.6.What about the author when hearing the student's words?A.She felt kind of surprised.B.She thought he was wrong.C.She realized she needed more patience.D.She was at a loss what to do.7.What can we infer according to the last paragraph?A.The key to success is patient with yourself.B.Don't be always talking with others ina new place.C.It takes two months to master a new language.D.The headache left the author a poormemory.CGenerating electricity from thin air may sound like science fiction, but a new technology basedon nanowire(纳米线) bacteria does just that —as long as there's moisture(水分) in the air. A new study shows that when fashioned into a film, these wires —protein lines that send electrons(电子) away from the bacteria —can produce enough power to light a light-emitting diode(二极管). The film works by simply absorbing humidity from the surrounding air. Though researchers aren't sure exactly how these wires work, the tiny power plants make a great difference: Seventeen devices linked together can generate 10 volts, which is enough electricity to power a cellphone.The new method should be considered a "milestone advance" says Guo Wanlin, a materials scientist at Nanjing University who wasn't involved with the work. Guo studies hydrovoltaics, a molecular approach to harvesting electricity from water.The way hydrovoltaic devices work is still a bit of a mystery. When water droplets interact with certain kinds of graphene (石墨烯) or other materials, an electric charge is generated, and electrons move through the materials. Many questions remain about exactly how these devices generate electricity, however. "I think a deeper understanding… is needed," says Dirk de Beer, a microbiologist developing microsensors at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology.Researchers are also just starting to learn how electron-conducting bacteria function. More than 15 years ago, co-author Derek Lovley, a microbiologist at the University of Massachusetts(UMASS), Amherst, and his colleagues discovered that a bacterium called Geobacter shuttles electrons from organic material to metal-based mixtures, such as iron oxides. Since then, he and others have learned that many other bacteria make protein nanowires to transfer electrons to other bacteria or deposits in their environments. This transfer creates a small electrical current, which researchers have tried with varying degrees of success as clean energy. Using water vapor is "a revolutionary technology to get renewable, green, and cheap energy directly from atmospheric wetness," says Qu Liangti, a materials scientist at Tsinghua University.8.What do "the tiny power plants" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Electrons.B. Protein nanowires.C. Seventeen devices.D. Light-emitting diodes.9.What is the purpose of the second and third paragraphs?A. To explain what hydrovoltaics is.B.To introduce Dirk de Beer’sdoubts.C. To stress the new method's advance.D. To tell how electron-conductingbacteria function.10.W hat can we learn from the text?A. Guo Wanlin is a co-author of Derek Lovley.B. Researchers are sure how protein nanowires work.C. Graphene mixed with iron oxides can make electricity.D. Researchers sometimes fail to get electricity from bacteria.11.W hich of the following is the best title for the text?A. Water Vapor is a Green and Cheap Energy.B.Molecular Harve Electricity fromWater.C. Electric Bacteria Create Currents out of Air.D. Hydrovoltaic and Nanowire DevicesRequire Power.DA completely new type of cooling panel has been created by researchers at Stanford University. The new structure works to reflect significant amounts of sunlight back into space even in full sunlight.To explain the breakthrough in specific terms: "a typical one-story, single-family house with just 10 percent of its roof covered by radioactive cooling panels could make up for 35 percent its entire air conditioning needs during the hottest hours of the summer."As the press release from Stanford University's Engineering site states it, "Tapping the cold sky of outer space to cool the planet. Science fiction, you say? Well, maybe not any more.""People usually see space as a source of heat from the sun, but away from the sun outer space is really a cold, cold place," says Shanhui Fan, professor of electrical engineering and the paper's senior author. "We've developed a new type of structure that reflects the vast majority of sunlight, while at the same time it sends heat into that coldness, which cools human-made structures even in the day time."The engineering "trick" that makes this possible is the crossing of an important thresh-hold. The reflector needs to be effective enough that it absorbs only a very low minimum of sunlight, and avoids heating up at all as a result. The other important factor is that the structure needs to be very efficient at reflecting heat back into outer space. "Thus, the structure must send out heat radiation very efficiently within a specific wavelength range in which the atmosphere is nearly transparent (透明的). Outside this range, Earth's atmosphere simply reflects the light back down." You're probably already familiar with this effect, it's commonly known as the greenhouse effect.The new cooling panel, made from nano-structured quartz and silicon carbide (碳化硅), fulfills both of these requirements. It's very effective at reflecting most sunlight, while also very effectively sending heat radiation in the wavelength range necessary to escape the Earth's atmosphere.12.W hat can the new solar structure be used to do?A.To turn light energy into electric energyB.To reflect amounts of sunlightbackC.To provide information for researchersD.To extend the hours of sunlightin winter13.A ccording to Shanhui Fan we can know that ____________.A.the earth will be cooled by outer spaceB.human beings are fightingagainst natureC.no one is capable of living in outer spaceD.such structures will be sent tospace14.W hat is the function of the reflector?A.To support and fix a thresh-hold.B.To take in sunlight effectively.C.To play a trick in the process.D.To keep the wavelength in order.15.W hat can we conclude from the passage?A.The solar structure can lower our bills.B.A majority of sunlight can berefused.C.The Earth's atmosphere will disappear.D.Humans can rule out greenhouseeffect.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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 the price—five dollars—was far beyond Reuben Earle's means. Five dollars would buy almost a week's food for his family.Nevertheless, he opened the shop's weathered door and went inside. Standing proud and straight in his flour-sack shirt and washed-out trousers, he told the shopkeeper what he wanted, adding, “But I don't have the money right now. Can you please hold it for me for some time?”“I'll try,” the shopkeeper smiled. “People around here don't usually have that kind of money to spend on things. It should keep for a while.”Reuben respectfully touched his worn cap and walked out into the sunlight. There was purpose in his mind. He would raise the five dollars and not tell anybody.Hearing the sound of hammering from a side street, Reuben had an idea. He ran towards the sound and stopped at a construction site. People built their own homes in Bay Roberts, using nails bought in sacks from a local factory. Sometimes the sacks were thrown away, and Reuben knew he could sell them back to the factory for five cents a piece.That day he found two sacks, which he took to the wooden factory and sold to the man in charge of packing nails. The boy's hand tightly held the five-cent pieces as he ran the two kilometers home. Near his house stood the ancient barn. Reuben found a rusty soda tin, dropped his coins inside and hid the tin beneath a pile of sweet smelling hay.It was dinnertime when Reuben got home. He looked at his mother and smiled. Slim and beautiful, she was the center of the home, the glue that held it together. Her chores were never-ending. But she was happy. Her family and their well-being were all she cared about.Every day after chores and school, Reuben searched the town, collecting the nail bags diligently.注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；3. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答.Finally the time had come!____________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______“I have the money,” he told the shop owner seriously but sincerely.____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ________【答案】Finally the time had come! Reuben an into the barn, poured the coins out and began to count. He needed 20 cents more. He had to find four more sacks and sell them before the day ended. The shadows were lengthening when Reuben arrived at the factory. The sack buyer was about to lock up. “Please, Mister.I have to sell the sacks now, please.” The man could tell he was close to tears. He took the sacks, reached into his pocket and put four coins in Reuben's hand. Reuben murmured a thank you and then clutched the tin can, be headed for the shop.“I have the money,” he told the shop owner seriously but sincerely. The shopkeeper smiled and went to the window and retrieved Reuben's treasure. He gently wrapped it in brown paper. Racing home, Reuben burst through the front door. “Here, Mom! Here!” he exclaimed and placed a small box in herwork-roughened hand. She unwrapped it carefully, tears began to blur her vision. In gold lettering on a small, almond-shaped brooch was the word Mother. It was Mother's Day. Speechless, she smiled radiantly and gathered her son into her arms.广东省韶关市2021届高三综合测试英语试题第二节（满分25分）阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文，续写的字数应为150左右。

It marks a trend among law students to change from the traditional field of corporate law and look to Working in creative industries. The trend, also noticeable at other law schools around the country, has pushed growth in the field of entertainment law.“These students are propelled by a love for music, the arts, and show business. It's an exciting career for a music lover,” said HLS Clinical Professor of Law Brian Price, who's in charge of the Entertainment Law Clinic.Price added, “Although entertainment lawyers work behind the scenes, they can have a bigger influence on artists' careers than managers. They review artists’ agreements, deals and contacts, making sure their customers, interests are protected.”“Artists are becoming wise and want to be involved in the business aspects of their careers,” said Price. “When they ask for legal advice, they warn to know their legal rights, and how to make good deals and find ways to make more money.” Most HLS graduates end up working in business or corporate law, though some have had successful careers in the entertainment industry. Among them are Bruce Ramer, 58, who represents customers like George Clooney and Clint East wood; Bert Fields, 52, who represents Michael Jackson.8. What does the author want to show through the example of Rebecca?A. The importance of learning entertainment law.B. Her determination to succeed in the field of law.C. The rising popularity in the field of entertainment law.D. Her dull future caused by her serious illness at college.9. What does the underlined word “propelled” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Blown.B. Driven.C. Depressed.D. Confused.10. What can be learned from the last paragraph?A. HLS is home to many famous artists.B. Artists are wise enough to learn corporate law.C. Artists are becoming more focused on legal needs.D. Famous artists pay no attention to making money.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. The Death of Rebecca's DreamB. Making It Big behind the ScenesC. Helping Musicians Improve ThemselvesD. A Brief Introduction to Entertainment LawDAccording to a new study by Tampere University in Finland, making eye contact with a robot may have the same effect on people as eye contact with another person. The result prediets that interaction between humans and humanoid robots will be surprisingly smooth.With the rapid progress in robotics, it is expected that people will increasingly interact with so called social robots in the future. Despite the artificiality of robots, people seem to react to them socially. For instance, people may sense different qualities, such as knowledge ability, sociability« and likability in robots based on how they look or behave.Previous surveys have been able to throw light on people's sensory ability of social robots and their characteristics, but the very central question has remained unanswered. Does interacting with a robot cause similarreactions to people as interacting with another human?Researchers at Tampere University investigated the matter by studying the physiological (生理的) reactions that eye contact with a social robot produces. In the new study, the research participants sat face to face with another person or a humanoid robot. The person and the robot looked either directly at the participants and made eye contact or avoided their gaze. At the same time, the participants’ skin conductance, which reflected the activity of the autonomous nervous systems, the electrical activity of the cheek muscle reflecting positive affective reactions, and the heart rate reduction were measured.The result showed that all the above-mentioned physiological reactions were stronger in the case of eye contact when compared to averted gaze (转移目光). This result is shared with both another person and a humanoid. Eye contact with the robot and another human focused the participants1 attention and brought about a positive emotional response.“Our result shows that the non-linguistic (非语言的)，interaction-regulating signals of social robots can affect humans in the same way as similar signals presented by other people. Such evidence allows us to assume that as robot technology develops, there may be no barrier to interaction between social robots and humans.” says doctoral researcher Helena.12.What does the new study focus on?A. When robots can respond like humans.B. How humans make eye contact socially.C. The reasons for humans, having qualities of social robots.D. Humans’ response when interacting with robots and humans.13.Which of the following agrees with the result of the research?A. Averted gaze makes no difference to robots.B. Social robots can’t affect humans’ response.C. Robots feel stronger than humans when interacting.D. Eye contact with robots contributes to a positive response.14.What does Helena expect of social robots the future?A. They can interact with humans smoothly.B. They will have n side effect on interaction.C. They can have regulating interaction as humans.D. They will send out accurate human linguistic signals.15.How does the author mainly develop the topic of the text?A. By assuming relative effects.B. By presenting past discoveries.C. By indicating the result of research.D. By referring to a questionnaire survey.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。

Here is a list of four noteworthy art fairs.Art Basel, Basel, SwitzerlandThe granddaddy of art fairs, Art Basel, was established in 1970 by a group of local art gallerists and is the biggest contemporary art fair in the world. Art Basel takes place over a 5-day period each June in Basel, Switzerland. The high cost of renting space for gallery owners is offset（抵消）by the huge attendance at the fair. For example in 2010, about 60,000 visitors attended Art Basel.Frieze Art Fair, London“Frieze Art Fair was established in 2003 and is one of the few fairs to focus only on contemporary art and living artists.v"Thefair takes place every October in Regent's Park, London. It features over 170 of the most exciting contemporary art galleries in the world. ”In addition to the fair which began in 2003, the fair owners Matthew Slotover and Amanda Sharp publish Frieze, an international art magazine established in 1991 and devoted to contemporary art.TEFAF Maastricht, the NetherlandsEstablished in 1975 as The Pictura Fine Art Fair, and renamed The European Fine Art Foundation（TEFAF）, Maastricht in 1996, the fair includes 260 of the world's most famous art and antique dealers from 16 countries.The 24th edition of the TEFAF fair held March 18 — 27, 2011 featured 260 dealers exhibiting approximately 30, 000 artworks and antiques with an overall value of $ US 1. 4 billion.ARCO, MadridARCO Madrid was established in 1982 and is one of Europe's leading and popular art fairs. In addition to the exhibiting galleries（in 2011, 197 international art galleries participated）, a seriesof lectures and specially focused exhibitions take place.1.How does Art Basel cover the expense of renting space?A.By selling tickets.B.By selling expensive exhibits.C.By donation from dealers.D.By support from the government.2.The owners of Frieze Art Fair are also in charge of____.A.170 living artists.B.An international art magazine.C.30,000 artworks and antiques.D.A series of lectures.3.Which of the following has the longest history?A.Art BaselB.Frieze Art FairC.TEFAFD.ARCOBThursday, two Russian submarines(潜艇) dived down 2.5 miles into the Arctic Ocean and planted a national flag onto a piece of continental shelf known as the Lomonosov Ridge. Rising from the center of the Arctic Basin, the flag sent a clear message to the surrounding nations: Russia had just laid claim(权利) to the vast oil and gas reserves contained in this underwater area.AfterRussia, theUnited States,Norway,SwedenandFinlandare all trying to gain profit. Projections show that the area of land and sea that falls within theArctic Circleis home to an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil, an incredible 13% of Earth’s reserves. It’s also estimated to contain almost a quarter of untapped global gas resources. But long before this oil race began, how did theArcticbecome so rich in energy?“The first thing you realize is that theArctic—unlike the Antarctic—is an ocean surrounded by continents”, Alastair Fraser, a geoscientist from Imperial College London, said. Firstly, this means there’s a huge quantity of organic material available, in the form of dead sea creatures such as plankton and algae, which form the basis of what will ultimately become oil and gas. Secondly, the surrounding ring of continents means that the Arctic Basin contains a high proportion of continental crust(大陆地壳), which makes up about 50% of its oceanic area. That’s significant because continental crust typically contains deep depressions called basins, into which organic matter sinks.Here, it gets inserted in rock and preserved in anoxic(缺氧) waters, meaning they contain little oxygen. “Normally, in a shallow sea with lots of oxygen, it would not be preserved. But if the sea is deep enough, the oxygenated waters at the top will be separated from the anoxic conditions at the base,” Fraser explained. Conserved within these oxygen-free basins, the matter maintains compounds that finally make it useful as an energy source for millions of years in the future.4. Why didRussiaplant a national flag onto the Lomonosov Ridge?A. To tell surrounding countries its armed forces.B. To show its advanced technology of submarines.C. To show abundant natural resources in theArcticBasin.D. To claim its privilege to explore for oil and gas in the area.5. What’s the function of the last sentence in paragraph 2?A. Making a comparison.B. Serving as a connecting link.C. Analyzing the cause and effect.D. Drawing the conclusion of the text.6. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Oxygen only exists in the top part of the ocean.B. Organic materials mostly exist in the basins with oxygen.C. Water containing oxygen turns organic materials into oil and gas.D. Oxygen-free environment counts in the formation of the arctic’s rich energy.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. What makes theArcticattractive?B. Why do many nations focus on theArctic?C. Why is there so much oil in theArctic?D. How does theArcticBasincome into being?CNextdoor，an online social network for neighbors，says it has attracted $60 million from early backers of technology giants，Google，Amazon and Facebook.The new investment，1ed by venture firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and investment firm Tiger Global Management，values Nextdoor at more than $500 million，said a personfamiliar with the matter.Nextdoor members make Facebook-style postings，giving or seeking recommendations for services such as babysitters and yard maintenance or local retailers and restaurants. They also post about community issues such as parking，crimeand safety，or items for sale or loan.The investment sum emphasizes the appeal of businesses that can tap into the growing use of mobile devices，as well as social networking Perhaps the best current example is Twitter，which is preparing for an initial public offering that values the company at up to about $11 billion.“We’re all spending more time with our screens，more engaged，but I think data shows we’re less connected，”said John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins，mentioning his own experience of knowing few of his neighbors. Nextdoor，with its ability to introduce neighbors to each other，helps people regain the sense of connection，he said.Early next year，Nextdoor plans to expand to Canada，followed by Great Britain，Australia，and South Africa，chief executive NiravTolia said. While Nextdoor has not yet have made any profit after two years of operations，Tolia said he is not worried.“If we look at the great companies at this stage，none of them started to monetize this early in their evolution. ”Tolia said. “It’s all about getting the product right. ”Eventually，Nextdoor plans to tap into local advertising，he said.Nextdoor is currently used in 22，527 neighborhoods across the United States，up from 5，694 a year ago. Including the latest funding round，it has raised just over $100 million.8. What attitude do the early backers of technology grant hold towards Nextdoor?A. They doubt its value.B. They think poorly of it.C. They are in favor of it.D. They are worried about it.9. What is mainly discussed about Nextdoor in Paragraph 3?A. Its members.B. Its service.C. Its value.D. Its location.10. What is the author’s purpose of mentioning Twitter in Paragraph 4?A. To support his viewpoint.B. To post an advertisement.C. To introduce a network.D. To makea public offer.11. How does Nirav Tolia feel about the future of Nextdoor?A. Curious.B. Upset.C. Cautious.D. Optimistic.DAt Aizo Chuo Hospital in Japan, employees greet newcomers, guide patients to and from the surgery area, and print out maps of the hospital for confused visitors. They don’t take lunch breaks or even get paid. Why? They’re robots!Robots have long worked in factories, helping to build cars and electronic appliances. But today’s robots don’t just do the jobs of people－they actually look and act a lot like people.Kansei, arobot from Japan, has a plastic face covering 19 movable parts. The robot can make 36 facial expressions in response to different words. Kansei shakes in fear at the word “war” and smiles when it hears the word “dinner”.Researchers in Europe are going even further with iCub, a “baby” robot. They are teaching it to speak andhold conversations.The ability to interact is crucial for robots that will one day work closely with humans says robotics professor ChrisAtkeson. “ This will require robots to understand what you say and how you are feeling and respond with appropriate emotions, ” he told WR News.Japanese scientist Minoru Asada agrees. He is building a robot called CB2 that acts like a real baby. “ Right now, it only goes, ̒Ah, ah. ̓But as we develop its learning function, it will start saying more complex sentences and moving on its own, ” Asada says. “ Next-generation robots need to be able to learn and develop by themselves.”Intelligent robot will become more important in the future, as populations age and the number of human workers declines in many countries. “ We’re going to have many more old people and not enough young people to care for them,” says robot researcher Matthew Mason. “ Technology can help the old people live at home longer, instead of going to nursing homes.”12. According to the passage, what jobs have robots already performed?A. Giving advice, answering customer questions and planning events.B. Producing factory goods, building cars and greeting customers.C. Greeting customers, producing factory goods and performing surgery.D. Building cars, driving passengers and providing directions.13. The second paragraph in this passage is mainly about?A. To explain how a robot works.B. To define what a robot is.C. To describe the functions of modern robots.D. To predict the future uses of robots.14. How does the Kansei robot react on the word “fire”?A. Use languages to warn nearby humans.B Back up its memory files.C. Activate an automatic fire alarm.D. Produce a worried look on his face.15. In Asada’s opinion, the next step for robots will be to develop_______.A. the ability to learn independentlyB. the ability to understand human commandsC. the capacity to interact with humansD. the willingness to work together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。

山东省实验中学2021届高三下学期2月份模拟考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节：（共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AWhen it comes to judgment of their bodies,women can’t win.People often make“fat jokes”,but fat-shaming is no laughing matter;neither is fit-shaming.I spoke to two women who were shamed for being fat,and then,after losing weight,shamed for being fit.Sarah Moore is a29-year-old mother of three from Indiana,US.She became a personal trainer after losing more than45kg.She remembers the fat-shaming she bore before her weight loss.When waiting to get on a roller coaster once,people behind her were complaining about the wait,and the attendant(服务人员)told them,“Don’t worry.She’s not going to fit on here,and you’ll be next.”But after losing weight,Moore said people commented on her body even more.“Now I get comments like,‘Are you sure you can eat that?’because they’re worried I’ll regain the weight,”she said.How does it make her feel?“Fat-shaming made me feel sad and helpless,and fit-shaming makes me angry,”she said.Changes in body weight can also influence relationships.It can upset the balance because others can get jealous.People who lose weight can experience personality changes,such as an increase in confidence,which also influences relationships.Fit-shaming has been harder to handle for Andrea Sereda,a38-year-old social worker in Canada.She said judgment of her body is something she’s faced for years.Sereda said that when she was9,her grandfather told her at a birthday party,“I don’t think you should eat cake,”and made comments about how many calories each bite contained as she ate it.She also experienced similar things in college.The judgment of Sereda’s body increased after she lost57kg.“It’s worse with people who knew me from before,”Sereda said.“People constantly say,‘You’re so skinny now you’re going to disappear.’”It was mostly friends making such comments.Closer friends seemed to compare their own bodies negatively to Sereda’s new physique(体型).“I was afraid of going out and having to field all these comments,”Sereda said.“I had to learn how to handle it.”Let us try to understand that just because someone has lost weight,it doesn’t make them fair game for commentary on their new shape.Everyone deserves to live free of being body shamed,regardless of how they look.21.Sarah Moore is shamed for being fit after losing weight mainly because________.A.people still judge her new body shapeB.she lost too much weight after her dietC.her personality changed for the betterD.people are all jealous of her new look22.The example of Andrea Sereda is used to________.A.explain what pushes women to lose weightB.show the negative effects of fit shamingC.suggest what can be done to handle fat shamingD.show the difficulties overweight women face23.What would be a proper way to treat those who have lost weight?A.To appreciate their new body shape.B.To stop commenting on their physique.C.To encourage them to maintain their shape.D.To remind them to be careful with their diet.BI’m Jeff Logan,president of Logan Luxury Theaters Corporation.I’m very sorry to tell you many cinemas are at risk of closing permanently(永久).That’s something we would hate to see happen.Watching the newest box office movie and eating a big bucket of popcorn is an experience that many of us have enjoyed for a very long time.We all have fond memories of going to a theater of our first dates or the first movie we saw with our children.A movie theater is so important to the fabric of the local community.It’s a place where we all gather,no matter what our interests,and no matter what ages,young and old,rich and poor.But how much longer will classic theaters remain open?Just like other industries,movie theaters have been hit hard by the pandemic(流行病）and are going dark.The entire industry is being controlled by the pandemic,because the studios don’t want to release their new movies until all the theaters can be open.As we all know,the theaters can’t do well and can’t get back to full7-day a week at full speed operation without new movies to play.Recently,the Logan Luxury5Cinema in Mitchell reopened for the weekends.However,like manytheaters,it is only operating at about10percent capacity.Since opening,several new safety measures have been put in place.Block off every other row.People are asked to leave three seats between them and the next group.Staff spray the theater with disinfectant(消毒剂）after every show.And sanitizer stations can be found throughout the theater.Even so,some people still aren’t comfortable going to a movie theater yet.I fully understand that.Anyhow, Ijust hope we must do something else to help out our local theaters,like taking part in a new national proposal called“Save Your Cinema.”1.What does the underlined word"fabric"in paragraph4refer to?A.Typical feature.B.Basic structure.C.Public support.mon vision.2.Why are the film studios unwilling to release the new movies?A.Cinemas don’toperate normally.B.New movies aren’t welcomed.C.People don’t like goingto cinema.D.Many cinemas go out of business.3.What can we infer about the Logan Luxury5Cinema after its reopening?A.It makes a lot of money.B.It does well in disease prevention.C.It receives a large audience every day.D.It offers more enjoyable experience.4.What is the purpose of this text?A.To share the good old days.B.To explain a social problem.C.To ask for people’s help.D.To recommend a theater.CTo move visual technology into the future,sometimes it helps to make a little noise.Researchers have used sound waves to produce floating3-D images,create a sense of touch and even supply a soundtrack.Since the1940s,scientists have toyed with the concept of acoustic levitation(声悬浮),the use of soundwave vibrations to trap tiny things in midair.The technology has gained greater capabilities in the past decade.Some researchers believe this improvement could lead to applications such as contributing to novel 3-D printing methods,or creating displays that would be visible from any angle without requiring a screen.Other researchers have also worked on visual displays that use acoustic levitation.In addition to visuals, the system can also produce audible noise to give the display a soundtrack.And the ultrasound speakers canalso concentrate vibrations in one spot so that a finger might feel a sense pushing back—a little like the object shown by the floating image is really there.Soundwaves create a3-D display!Display without a screen is remarkably useful.It means that everybody in the room can see the image—any angle,location—and that’s extremely helpful.As a communications system,such a display might one day allow users to chat with a3-D projection(投影)of a person who can turn his or her head to follow as they move around a room.The display will require a lot more work before you can install it in your living room,however.So far, this has been done in the research laboratory.We need to push it a little bit harder.We need to do more analysis to see if it would make sense to create a real display that people would have at home.The current system can only show simple graphics,such as a smiley face or figure eight,in real time.Still,we are optimistic about the potential for this type of technology.If the system had only one speaker-covered surface instead of two,it could generate images that are bigger than the device itself.We can’t make a TV image that’s bigger than the TV—even a projector has to have a projection screen that’s bigger than the image itself.But with a volumetric(容积的)display,a small,portable device might produce a much larger picture.We can imagine,in the future,having volumetric displays in watches,for example,that create large images that just project out of your watch.5.From the first two paragraphs soundwave vibrations can be used to_.A.catch very small objectsin midairB.develop3-D printer’s capabilitiesC.replace a creative display screenpose soundtracks by making no noise6.What do we know about display without a screen?A.It has resulted in visual technology.B.It is possible to see the image from any direction.C.It is already ripe to create a real one at home.D.It has yet to be tested in the research laboratory.7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?A.Outlooks for thenew technology.B.Situations of the modern technology.C.Praise for the cutting-edge technology.D.Room for the technicalimprovement.8.What can be a suitable title for the passage?A.Hearing Is Seeing—Sound Waves Create a3-D DisplayB.Seeing is Believing—3-D Printing MethodsArriveC.Advancing Sense of Touch—3-D Images Float in theAirD.Promoting TV Technology—Chat with3-D ProjectionsDOne morning,when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams,he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible insect.He lay on his armor-like back,and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly,slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.The bedding was hardly able to cover it and seemed ready to slide off any moment.His many legs,pitifully thin compared with the size of the rest of him, waved about helplessly as he looked.“What’s happened to me?”he thought.It wasn’t a dream.His room,a proper human room although a little too small,lay peacefully between its four familiar walls.A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table—Samsa was a travelling salesman—and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice,gilded frame.It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur scarf who sat upright,raising a heavy fur muff（暖手筒）that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather.Drops of rain could be heard hitting the window,which made him feel quite sad.“How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense,”he thought,but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right,and in his present state couldn’t get into that position.However hard he threw himself onto his right,he always rolled back to where he was.He must have tried it a hundred times,shut his eyes so that he wouldn’t have to look at the floundering legs,and only stopped when he began to feel a mild,dull pain there that he had never felt before.He thought,“What a heavy career it is that I’ve chosen!Travelling day in and day out.Doing business like this takes much more effort than doing your own business at home,and on top of that there's the curse of travelling,worries about making train connections,bad and irregular food,contact with different people all the time so that you can never get to know anyone or become friendly with them.”He felt a slight itch up on his belly;pushed himself slowly up on his back towards the headboard so that he could lift his head better; found where the itch was,and saw that it was covered with lots of little white spots which he didn’t know what to make of;and when he tried to feel the place with one of his legs he drew it quickly back because assoon as he touched it he was overcome by a cold tremble.He slid back into his former position.“Getting up early all the time,”he thought,“it makes you stupid. You’ve got to get enough sleep.Other travelling salesmen live a life of luxury.For instance,whenever I go back to the guest house during the morning to copy out the contract,these gentlemen are always still sitting there eating their breakfasts.I ought to just try that with my boss;I’d get kicked out on the spot.But who knows,maybe that would be the best thing for me.If I didn’t have my parents to think about I’d have given in my notice a long time ago,I’d have gone up to the boss and told him just what I think,tell him everything I would,let him know just what I feel.He’d fall right off his desk!And it’s a funny sort of business to be sitting up there at your desk,talking down at your inferiors from up there,especially when you have to go right up close because the boss is hard of hearing.Well,there’s still some hope;once I’ve got the money together to pay off my parents’debt to him—another five or six years I suppose—that’s definitely what I’ll do.That’s when I’ll make the big change.First of all though,I’ve got to get up,my train leaves at five.”9.According to the passage,Gregor initially believes his transformation is a.A.curseB.diseaseC.nightmareD.fraud10.The author most likely includes a description of Gregor’s itch in paragraph4to.A.remind the reader that Gregor has already turned into an insectB.stress the disconnection between Gregors’thoughts and his actual situationC.present important details about what Gregor’s new body lookslikeD.show that Gregor’s thoughts are focused on the changes tohis body11.The passage most strongly suggests which of the following about Gregor’s attitude toward his profession?A.He is angry.B.He is eager to please.C.He is depressed.D.He is diligent.12.The main rhetorical（修辞的）effect of the final sentence of the excerpt(“First of all though,I've got to get up, my train leaves at five”)is to.A.provide a solution to the conflict Gregor facesB.foretell the conflict between Gregor and his bossB.illustrate Gregor’s flexibility and ability to move on D.emphasize Gregor’s extreme sense of duty第二节：（共5个小题；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。
