Several million people live on the island. Japan's national broadcasting agency, NHK, reported 236 people had been hurt, but no deaths had been reported. Tsunami waves measuring about 3 feet (1 meter) began hitting the eastern coast of Japan's northernmost island, and officials warned all residents in the region to seek higher ground. A fire broke out at oil refinery on the island after the earthquake, and television stations reported a train derailment and a landslide near a highway tunnel. The U.S. Geological Survey measured the quake at 8.0 but authorities in Japan initially gave it a magnitude of 7.8. The USGS said the temblor was located 33 kilometers (20 miles) under the Earth's crust, about 796 miles north / northwest of Tokyo, and began at 4:50 a.m. local time (1950 GMT). The second quake occurred at 6:08 a.m. (2108 GMT).On average, there is one magnitude-8, or greater, quake a year in the world. The amount of energy released in a magnitude-8 earthquake is equivalent to that contained in 1.01 billion tons of TNT, according to the USGS. A tsunami watch has been issued for the U.S. state of Hawaii. "Based on all available data, a tsunami may have been generated by this earthquake that could be destructive on coastal areas even far from the epicenter," said the announcement from the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program. Only six days ago a 5.5-magnitude quake shook Japan. The September 20 earthquake was centered nearly 870 kilometers (540 miles) south-southeast of Tokyo, near Japan's Bonin Islands, a remote volcanic island group in the Pacific Ocean. Earlier this month, Japan marked the 80th anniversary of a magnitude 8.3 quake that devastated Tokyo and neighboring Yokohama, killing at least 140,000 people. In January 1995, a magnitude 7.2 temblor in Kobe killed more than 6,000 people.8. An 8.0-magnitude earthquake happened in Japan ____.A. in January 1995B. on September 20, 2003C. on September 26, 2003D. in September, 19239. What is NOT the result of this earthquake?A. 236 people were hurtB. A fire broke out at oil refinery on the islandC. A train was out of trackD. two people died10.

AHe lived his whole life as a poor man. His art and talent were r ecognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illnes s that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved worl d fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized a s one of the leading artists of all time.Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert , the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in , home to the bigge st collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary w ith exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws aroun d 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art.Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art.Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions i nto his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His styl e is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself m ore forcibly,” he wrote in a letter to his brother in 1888.Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He r elied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer wh o lived in . But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. H is portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990.

Here tribal da nce and song is performed with vigor and you can explore the mysterious world of the Sangoma with much ceremony. In th e Eastern Cape you’ll discover the remains of Saartjie Baartm an—a woman who suffered terrible humiliation at the hands of self -righteous (自以为是的) Europeans and who has become a symbol of female emp owerment (赋权) some 200 years after her death. A visit to the will make y ou learn about some of the oldest rock art in the country, whil e a trip to the different kinds of art galleries and theaters in mo st of the cities and towns is an excellent way to enjoy South A frican art and drama. Music is another part of South African c ulture which exemplifies the range and diversity of this country's culture.Classical music, although European in nature, is enjoyed r egularly at all fresco(壁画) concerts across the country amidst the beauty of large bot anical gardens. Jazz is a favourite in the townships and it has developed and diversified into three distinctive styles: Townsh ip Jazz, Black Jazz, and Marabi. Kwaito is another favourite. Rock and pop are also popular and a number of South African musicians have created sounds which simply cannot be confi ned to a particular music group, but they are very South Africa n in nature.

甘肃省徽县2017-2018高二英语上学期期末试题第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

AA little homeless girl stood crying near a small church from which she had been turned away because it was too crowded. “ I can’t go to Sunday school.” She cried to the priest (牧师) as he walked by. The priest took her inside. The child was very happy because they found a room for her . She went to bed that night thinking of the children who had no place to sleep or pray in.Two years later , the girl died there. As her little body was being moved, a worn and red purse was found, which she had found in the rubbish .Inside the purse was 57cents and a note , written in childish handwriting, which read :“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.”After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion(热爱) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it .It was read by a wealthy man who offered the church a piece of land worth many thousands of dollars. When told that the church could not pay much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girl’s gift had increased to $250,000. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, visit Temple Baptist Church , Temple University, and the Sunday school building .No child here is left outside on Sunday school days again . One of the rooms of the Sunday school building is hanged with the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents made such a remarkable and real history.21.How did the girl feel when she thought of other homeless kids?A. Joyful.B. Shameful.C. Sympathetic.D. Lucky.22. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?A. The wealthy man sold his land for $250,000 in all.B. The little girl picked up the purse from piles rubbishC. A small sum of money sometimes can make a remarkable historyD. At first, the girl wasn’t allowed in because the church was too crowded.23. What is the best title for the passage?A. Poor and Rich.B. A Red Purse.C. A New Sunday School.D. What Fifty-seven Cents Can Do?BWomen make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? If you ask me, I’d like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truth―women are queens of the road.Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We don’t drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong dire ction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out he’s made another wrong turn.Speeding is what men do best on the road. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we don’t get pulled over as frequently. We don’t speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and they’re totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You don’t ever see women driving like that.I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drive rs than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing (批评) women for being bad drivers, bring it on.24. If a woman driver feels lost, she will __________.A.stop the car and ask people for helpB. take the wrong turns at a high speedC. tell the man next to her to shut upD. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping25. According to Paragraph 4, men drivers __________ worries the writer most.A.making jokes about womenB. not paying full attentionC. not stopping for directionsD. getting more speeding tickets26. What is the passage about?A .Women stop for directionsB .Men make better drivers than WomenC .Women make better drivers than menD . Women rule the road.CIf you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see t hrough walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart of what really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.We’re not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if yo u can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, don’t be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when you’re older. But why not start now?Our own ex perience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.27. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Your life style.B. Your life value.C.Your trouble in life.D.Your life experience.28. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A. They possess different kind s of superpowers.B. They have got the power to change the world.C. Some people around them are making the world better.D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.29. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A. Trying your best to help the poor.B. Rising above self and acting to help others.C.Working hard to get a bigger opportunity.D. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Much more progress will be made in the near future.B. The work on health is the most valuable experience.C. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.D. People’s efforts have been materially rewarded.DThere are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intentionof criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.Although in fact it i s chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their ho pes. If they bring on themselves p ublic objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.31. People who are unhappy _______.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsD. usually misunderstand what others think or say32. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_______”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB.enjoy the pleasure of lifeC. tend to please others openlyD.make others unhappy33. We can conclude from the passage that _______.A. we should pity all such unhappy peopleB. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappinessD. unhappy people can not understand happy persons34. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _______.A. persuade them to recognize the bad effectsB.show no respect and politeness to themC. prevent any communicati on with themD. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes35. In this passage, the writer mainly _______.A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peoplex_k_b_1C. tells people how to be happy in lifeD. suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness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。

AWhile beach vacations may be a great way to take your mind off work, lakes surrounded by mountains make for an even grander experience. If you are looking for some peace on your vacation, we have some recommendations for you in the Caucasus(高加索).Lake SevanLake Sevan is situated in the central part of Armenia, in the Gegharkunik province. It is the largest lake in Armenia, located 6,200ft above sea level. Along the lake shore, there are various accommodations such as resorts and hotels with plenty of activities to partake in such as windsurfing, swimming and sunbathing. While there, do not forget to visit one of the famous cultural monuments, the Sevanavank Monastery, and it offers a great view of the lake as well.Lake ParavaniLake Paravani, located at 6,801ft above sea level, is in the south of Georgia, near the Javakheti plateau. At this level, altitude sickness can occur and it is a good idea to be prepared to adapt to it properly, or bring medication for altitude sickness. Being a volcanic lake makes for a more interesting experience. The lake is best known for fishing. Do not come home during the winter months when the lake freezes.Lake CildirLake Cildir is located in the Ardahan province, East Turkey, near the borders of Georgia and Armenia. It is the second largest freshwater lake of Eastern Turkey, and many tourists are notaware of this beautiful attraction. Lake Cildir is surrounded by mountains of the Caucasus. The lake freezes during late November. If the winter is not extremely cold, you can try some lake activities like ice skating and ice fishing.Lake VanLake Van is the must visit of all lakes in this list. The largest lake in Turkey, Lake Van is located on the eastern shore of Turkey and is also the most accessible lake here. It’s situated at 5, 380ft above sea level, and unique to lakes around the world, the water is high in salt content. 1．If you want to visit some historic sites during your travel by a lake, you can go to_______ .A. Lake CildirB. Lake ParvaniC. Lake SevanD. Lake Van2．What is special about Lake Van?A. Its water is high in salt.B. It is a volcanic lake.C. It is globally the largest lake.D. It is surrounded by mountains. 3．What challenge are travelers most likely to face while visiting Lake Paravani?A. Lack of medicine.B. V olcano eruptions.C. Altitude sickness.D. Low temperature all the year. 4．Which destinations would be attractive to a fishing lover?A. Lake Sevan and Lake Pa ravani.B. Lake Pravani and Lake Cildir.C. Lake Cildir and Lake Van.D. Lake Sevan and Lake Van.BIt is commonly believed that all over the world, boys and girls attend a mixed school, where they study together. But boys’schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和……相符) the ＂boy code＂of hiding their emotions to be a ＂real man＂.Surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.George Carl, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.But in single-sex schools teach ers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote thestudy’s author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with ＂boy-focused＂approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given ＂hands-on＂lessons where they are allowed to walk around. ＂Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes,＂James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be ＂masterful and in charge＂in relationships. ＂In mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means,＂the study reported. 5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would __________.A. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyB. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsC. force boys to be their emotions to be ＂real men＂D. naturally strengthen boys’traditional image of a man6．Traditionally, in a mixed school boys __________.A. behave more responsiblyB. perform relatively betterC. grow up more healthilyD. receive a better education7．In Abigail James’opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ______.A. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inB. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedC. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysD. teaching can be designed to promote boys’team spirit8．The underlined word ＂acute＂in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to ______ .A. lovelyB. seriousC. sharpD. dullC＂BANG!＂the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. ＂Never set foot in this house again!＂stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: ＂Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？＂In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except father’s.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. ＂Am I wrong＂I whispered, maybe… With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love—it’s second to none.9．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author and his father lacked communication.C. The author’s father didn’t approve of his stamp collecting.D. The author’s father opened the door for him when he came back.10．According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.C. Perhaps the son had already grown up.D. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.11．What wa s the author’s attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He was frustrated with his father.B. He loved his father.C. He was afraid of his father.D. He was dissatisfied with his father.DScientists are debating how to limit their newly-discovered power to change genetic structure.Scientists already modify the genes of farm animals and agricultural plants to make them more productive or stronger. But now they can also change genes in wild animals and plants. These genes would continue into later generations. For example, it may be possible for scientists to remove from existence the kind of mosquitoes that carry the Zika virus. They might also be able to permanently remove species of plants and animals that are destructive to other species.In a report published last week, the U. S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NAS) said it supports continued research on this kind of gene control. But it warned that it is not possible to know what will happen when these changed plants and animals are released into the wild.Sixteen biologists, ethicists(伦理学家) and policymakers are on an NAS committee that is examining the issue. They say that there is value to the new technology. But, they say, there is not enough evidence to support the release of modified organisms (生物体) from the laboratory into nature.Many people would support stopping mosquitoes and rats from carrying diseases. But scientists say we must understand the possible scientific, ethical, legal and social results of such action before we decide whether to take it. Gene modification is spread through reproduction(繁殖).Changed genes will continue to spread as long as an animal or plant continues to reproduce. They cannot be limited to a farm or kept within a country’s borders. Scientists are wondering what may happen if a modified organism mates with another species. They are not yet sure how the modified genes would affect the other species. It is possible that those genes could harm those creatures or even lead to their disappearance from our planet.12．What possible advantage does gene control in wild animals and plants have?A. Changing the Zika virus permanently.B. Removing the destructive sp ecies for ever.C. Having changed genes in their next generations.D. Making all the species more productive and stronger.13．As for genetically changed wild animals and plants ,what are scientists worried about?A. They may become weaker or die out.B. They may be more productive.C. They may cause damage to their living habitat.D. Their genes may spread to later generations.14．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Scientists are not sure what exact results gene modification leads to.B. Scientists won’t modify any genes before they make the final decision.C. Gene modification has benefited some farm animals and agricultural plants.D. Scientists have not applied gene modification to wild animals and plants in case of possible danger.15．What can be the best title for the passage?A. Stop research on gene controlB. How to change genetic structureC. Power and danger of gene controlD. Advantages of gene control in wild animals and plants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。

Actually change has already begun through climate chang es, but most humans haven’t noticed this yet. Climate change has begun to influence the world already and will begin to wo rsen within the next few years. Around 2020 most people will begin to see that the results of climate change will be far more serious than now understood.As the planet is under big geological stresses, which are conti nuously increasing, it will in the future no longer be able to su pport its population. Scarcity of resources, over-farming, lack of clean air, not enough clean drinking water an d drought are some of the issues that will all play a much grea ter role in the near future.Humans have caused large ecological devastation. The lifesty les of many people are improving at a fast speed; however, th is will finally result in a lack of some precious resources. Whe n this scarcity begins to happen, people will no longer be able to have sustainable lifestyles.It’s important to understand that everyone plays a role in the whole process of life. Each person’s decision can finally affect the future. These decisions, all combined, can have good eff ect on what the future will be like for humans. So the future de pends on the choices we make at the present moment.While more and more people are becoming aware of climate change and other environmental problems related to global w arming, not all are fully understanding how far-reaching its effects will be. Unfortunately, most of the humans are aware that the planet is n’t functioning well, but they don’t understand that this is creating a major problem for the future survival of humans.So, every person should make the necessary changes to redu ce their influence on the environment and help create a more sustainable future.24.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem inability to read.In the library, I found my way into the "Children's Room." I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at rand om. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a pictur e of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only a nimal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sha rer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone w ho had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgo t my beagle.There on the book's cover was a beagle which looked identic al to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on th e cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the b ook, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I re ad very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally foun d his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued t he final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog an d I were, in my mind, running together.My mother's call returned me to the real world .I suddenly real ized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading th at book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Bo oks could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read the m.I never told my mother about my "miraculous"（奇迹般地）experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable i mprovement in my classroom performance during the next ye ar. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thou sands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authore d his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held.28. The author's mother told him to borrow a book in order to .A. encourage him to do more walkingB. let him spend a meaningful summerC. help cure him of his reading problemD. make him learn more about weapons29.The book caught the author's eye because .A. it reminded him of his own dogB. he found its title easy to understandC. it contained pretty pictures of animalsD. he liked children's stories very much30.Why could the author manage to read the book through?A. He was forced by his mother to read it.B. He identified with the story in the book.C. The book told the story of his pet dog.D. The happy ending of the story attracted him.31.Which one could be the best title of the passage?A. My Passion for ReadingB. Mum's Strict Or derC. Reunion with My BeagleD. The Charm of a Bo okDNowadays, new technologies continue to emerge. From self-driving cars to carebots (care+robots) for elderly people, rapid development in technology has long represented a possible t hreat to many jobs normally performed by people. But experts now believe that almost 50 percent of occupations existing to day will be completely unnecessary by 2025 as artificial intelligence continues to change businesses.“The next fifteen years will see a revolution in how we work, a nd a revolution will necessarily take place in how we plan and think about workplaces,” said Peter Andrew, Director of Work place Strategy for CBRE Asia Pacific.A growing number of jobs in the future will require creative int elligence, social skills and the ability to use artificial intelligenc e.The report is based on interviews with 200 experts, business l eaders and young people from Asia Pacific, Europe and North America. It shows that in the US technology already destroys more jobs than it creates.But the report states: “Losing occupations does not necessaril y mean losing jobs --- just changing what people do.” growth in new jobs could occ ur as much, according to the research. “T he growth of 20 to 4 0 person companies that have the speed and technological kn ow-how(专门技术) will directly challenge big companies,” it states.A 2014 report by Pew Research found 52 percent of experts i n artificial intelligence and robotics were optimistic about the f uture and believed there would still be enough jobs in the next few years. The optimists pictured “a future in which robots donot take the place of more jobs than they create,” according t o Aaron Smith, the report’s co- author.“Technol ogy will continue to affect jobs, but more jobs seem li kely to be created. Although there have always been unemplo yed people, when we reached a few billion people there were billions of jobs. There is no shortage of things that need to be done and that will not change,”Microsoft’s Jonathan Grudin to ld researchers.32.We can infer from the text that in the future _________.A. people will face many difficultiesB. people will take up more creative jobsC. artificial intelligence will threaten people’s livesD. most jobs will be done in traditional workplaces33.According to the report, ________.A. people won’t necessarily lose jobsB. big companies will face fewer challengesC. small companies will win against big companiesD. most people will become interested in technology34.What is the attitude of most experts in artificial intelligence and robotics to the future?A. MixedB. WorriedC. HopefulD. Doubtful35.Jonathan Grudin’s words in the last paragraph suggest tha t ________.A. there will be enough jobs for peopleB. things will change a lot in a few yearsC. many people will become unemployedD. technology will totally change future jobs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符合各段大意的最佳选项。

2017-2018学年高二英语上学期期末考试试题阅读理解（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）第一节（共10小题：每小题2分，满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

ASuppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trou ble.Realization will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “s end”. You are frightened and burn with shame.What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to recover.Clicking “send” too soonDon’t waste your time trying to find out if the receiver has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it wi th a brief title explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.Writing the wrong nameThe sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly , apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offended, especially if y our error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(i.e. inc orrect order of Chinese names).Clicking “reply all” unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal(透露)to the entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to tak e. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quic kly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “repl y all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this inst ance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to cal m down.Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in ang er. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’r e discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and s ensibly—see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person.After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______ .A. curiousB. tiredC. terribleD. funny2. If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.A. learn to write the name correctlyB. tell the receiver to ignore the errorC. send a short notice to everyoneD. apologize in a serious manner3. How should you deal with the problem caused by an offensi ve email?A. By talking to the receiver face to face.B. By seeking support from the receiver’s friends.C. By asking the receiver to control his anger.D. By promising not to offend the receiver again.4. What is the passage mainly about?A. Defining email errors.B. Reducing email mistakes.C. Improving email writing.D. Handling email accidents.BI was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and thi nk I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on t he roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, m otorists probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. A part from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to oc cur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I ha d to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m sor ry,” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constant ly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, w hich was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless p assengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blin d by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it dre w away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride an d ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it s eemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by b us. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by.
