2020-2021学年江苏扬州高一上英语月考试卷一、阅读理解1.After my father died at the age of 83, many of his friends told me how much him—how generous he was, how outgoing, how funny, how caring. I was surprised at these descriptions. During my teenage years, there was little said to me that was not criticism. I remember him as angry. But now, ten years after his death, I recall events that seem to contradict my memory of him.When I was 16, he handed down to me the family's 1957 Chevy（雪佛兰）. Neither one of us knew at the time that it was the coolest car anyone my age could have. When I was in the third grade, he proudly accompanied me to the school tumbling contest, where I won first prize. One day, while I was in single digits, he suggested we play catch in the front yard. This offer to spend time together was so unexpected that I didn't quite understand what I was supposed to do.When I graduated from high school, my father offered to buy me a tuxedo（男士无尾晚礼服）. I refused because my father always shunned gifts. I felt with my refusal, that somehow in a strange logic, I was being a good son. I wish now that I could have let him buy me a tuxedo, let him be a dad.My father sold real estate（地产）but he wanted to be in show business. I was probably five years old when I saw him in a bit part at the Call Board theater on Melrose Place in Hollywood. He came on in the second act and served a drink. The theater existed until a few years ago and is now finally defunct and, I believe, a lamp shop.My father's attitude toward my show, "Business Accomplishments", was critical. After my first appearance on Saturday Night Live in 1976, he wrote a bad review of me in the newsletter of the Newport Board of Realtors where he was president.（1）During his teenage years, the author thought his father was ______.A.generousB.outgoingC.angryD.caring（2）The underlined part "This offer" in the second paragraph refers to "______".A.attending to school tumbling contest togetherB.driving a car togetherC.playing a game togetherD.buying a car for the writer（3）Which word has the same meaning as the underlined word "shunned"?A.avoidedB.boughtC.shoneD.loved（4）What did the father think of the author's acting on Saturday Night Live?A.He liked it very much.B.He didn't like it.C.He didn't watch it.D.He didn't care.2.（1）The passage is most likely to be taken from ______.A.the InternetB.a magazineC.a newspaperD.a book（2）The purpose of this article is to ______.A.introduce some effective weight loss productsB.help overweight people find useful informationC.tell overweight people how to have a healthy dietD.introduce books about losing weight（3）Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Free Weight Loss Articles enjoys the greatest popularity on the site.B.Monthly Spotlight tells you how many calories a certain food contains.C.In Ultimate Weight Loss Secrets, we can ask and answer questions on how to lose weight.D.We can find ranked weight loss products to choose from.3.Are you an introvert（内向的人）or an extrovert? Before you say you are either one, you should know that there is a third option.According to a recent article in The Wall Street Journal, experts say there's a middle ground between the two personality types—people who they call "ambiverts（中间性格者）".Introverts don't like crowds and enjoy keeping their thoughts to themselves, while extroverts, on the other hand, like meeting new people and being the center of attention. Ambiverts, as the name suggests, have both introverted and extroverted characteristics. But neither set of characteristics is completely in control.As a result, they can move between being social and being alone with greater ease than either extroverts or introverts. For example, ambiverts often enjoy other people's company. But after a long day of hard work, they sometimes prefer to read a book or watch a TV series at home alone."It is like they're bilingual," Daniel Pink, the host of Crowd Control, a US TV series on human behavior, told The Wall Street Journal. "They have a wider range of skills and can connect with a wider range of people in the same way someone who speaks English and Spanish can."Ambiverts have gotten more attention in recent years, thanks to books, TED talks and consulting（咨询的）firms focusing on how personality traits（特征）change people's behavior in relationships and careers. In fact, roughly two-thirds of people in the US are ambiverts, according to a personality survey done by Adam M. Grant, a professor ofpsychology at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School.Grant believes ambiversion takes good parts from introversion and extroversion. "The ambivert advantage comes from being enthusiastic enough to persuade, but at the same time, listening carefully to others and avoiding seeming overly confident or excited," he told Forbes magazine.But he also points out that unlike extroverts and introverts who tend to know what gives them energy, ambiverts can sometimes get stuck. They are often unsure which side of their personality should lead in a given situation.（1）What is the article mainly about?A.Differences between introverts and extroverts.B.Why ambiverts have gotten more attention recently.C.Characteristics and advantages of ambiverts.D.How personality traits change people's behavior.（2）According to the article, ambiverts ______.A.prefer being the center of attention to being aloneB.tend to connect with more people than introvertsually work hard and are successful in their careersD.want to keep their thoughts to themselves all the time（3）What advantage does Grant think ambiverts have over introverts and extroverts?A.They know what gives them energy.B.They seem more enthusiastic and confident.C.They have more balanced personalities.D.They can deal with a given situation better.（4）The underlined word "bilingual" in Paragraph 5 probably means ______.A.able to speak two languages equally wellB.always ready to help those in needC.able to adapt to a new environment wellD.good at drawing attention from the crowd4."My dear lady," says Holmes. "You're shivering. Are you old? Do you want a cup of hot tea?" "I'm not cold," the woman replies, "I fear for my life!""We are here to help you. Don't worry about anything. I don't know you. But I knowmany things about you. For example, I know how you travel. You came to London by train. You also ride to the train station on a horse-drawn wagon（马车）.""Why, yes. You're right. But how do you know these things?""I see a return ticket in your glove. I see fresh mud on the left arm of your dress. Now tell us your problem.""My name is Helen Stoner," she states, "My mother and father are dead. I am living withmy stepfather, Dr. Grimesby Roylott. He comes from a rich family. But they are no longer rich. They have nothing except a small piece of land and a huge old house. We are living in the house. Dr. Roylott is using my mother's money for expenses（开支）. Part of it was for my sister and me. It was for our marriages."Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen's story.He hears every detail.Helen continues, "My stepfather has no friends. He fights with everyone. He is strong and gets angry quickly. Everyone is afraid of him.""He has no friends at all?" asks Holmes."No. He talks to no one except the gypsies（吉普赛人）. They are poor people who travel from place to place. A band of gypsies is staying on our land right now.""Are you and your sister afraid of the gypsies?""My dear Mr. Holmes. You are making me so sad. My sister is dead. That is why I am standing here in this room."（1）Paragraph 6 beginning with "My name is..." is mostly about ________.A.Helen's dead sisterB.Helen's trip to LondonC.the house Helen lives inD.Helen's stepfather and the family（2）What is Holmes doing while Helen is telling her story?A.Walking slowly.B.Listening carefully.C.Standing sadly.D.Writing quickly.（3）Which of the following can best describe the gypsies according to the passage?A.They are very rich.B.They are afraid of other people.C.They live on a horse-drawn wagon.D.They move from one place to another.（4）The passage is probably from ________.A.a novelB.a guideC.a poemD.an advertisement二、七选五5. 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。

Doubt(s)79. beyond80. consistent书面表达Possible version:From this autumn new schoolbooks highlighting the traditional Chinese culture will be used by senior students whose knowledge of the country’s ancient traditions will also be tested in the gaokao.There’re several factors accounting for the move. The set of books are the significant component of traditional Chinese culture and provide teenagers with internal codes of conduct and thus they will play a positive role in their process of growth. Besides the basic education system hasn’t attached enough importance to the learning of traditional culture for quite a long time and the textbooks are a beneficial effort to reverse that situation. In addition, learning traditional culture is not solely about reciting texts—it’s about utilizing ancient wisdom to solve current problems.Personally speaking, I strongly support and welcome the move in that it is an initiative to bring Chinese traditional culture back. However, considering individual differences between students I am not in complete agreement with the practice that they will be tested in the gaokao.录音原文Text 1W: Excuse me. This is the address.

And thanks for coming in today.Text 10M: Well, I’d lo ve to share with you my personal opinions on city life and life in small towns. I grew up in a small town until I was 18 and then moved to a big city, so I have experienced the good and bad sides of both. I never thought that I would like living in a big c ity, but I was wrong. After ten years of living in one, I can’t imagine ever living in a small town again. Surely small towns and big cities both have some problems in terms of transport. In a small town, you have to own a car to make life comfortable. You can’t get around without one because there isn’tany kind of public transport. Big cities generally have heavy traffic and expensive parking, but there you have a choice of taking public transport, which is cheaper than driving. So, if you don’t have a car, you’d better live in the city. I also love the exciting life in big cities. I can always enjoy a lot of films, concerts, and other wonderful shows. However, these things are not common in small towns. The final thing I like about large cities is that you can meet different kinds of people. However, you seldom find such a variety of people in a smaller town. I think that living in an area where everyone was just like me would quickly become dull. Of course, safety should be considered, and that’s one area where small towns are better than big cities. Still, I would rather be a bit more careful and live in a large city than to feel safe but dull.。

Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute（上下班往返）, or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers. However, new evidence has shown that plucking up（鼓起）the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health.Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioral （行为的）scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation "we consistently underestimate（低估）how much a new person likes us." It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn't want to talk with us.Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that "every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat." From this and other research, the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our well-being. It's true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.However, if you're an introvert（性格内向者）, the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found "both extroverts（性格外向者）and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner." So maybe, if you're a loner, it's time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger—it could be the beginning of a new friendship.（1）What does the underlined word "solitude" in paragraph 2 mean?A.Being calm.B.Being pleasant.C.Being healthy.D.Being alone.（2）Why might we not want to speak to a stranger?A.Because we don't trust a new person.B.Because we can't find a common topic.C.Because we feel the stranger may dislike us.D.Because we like distant social connections.（3）What could help start a new friendship?A.Sitting next to a stranger.B.Making a small talk.C.Sharing personal details.D.Behaving in polite manner.（4）Which of the following is the best title for the text?A.Talking to strangers.B.How to be an extrovert.C.How to speak to strangers.D.Making new friends.3."I have cancer." Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.Mom didn't stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications（药物）with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. "The not-knowing is the worst." she said.The operation was successful. The chemo（化疗）was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. "Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can't take my smile." Mom said.Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn't share because she was still protecting me—worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, "When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power."Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I've learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.（1）What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.There were other ways to treat cancer.B.Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.C.I should be the one being there for Mom.D.Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.（2）Which of the following words can best describe Mom?A.Humorous and generous.B.Considerate and ambitious.C.Caring and knowledgeable.D.Optimistic and determined.（3）What is the fifth paragraph mainly about?A.The fear Mom shared with me.B.The jokes Mom told me.C.The ways Mom faced fear.D.The bond Mom and I formed.（4）What lesson did the author learn from Mom?A.Luck counts in beating diseases.B.Positive attitudes get one through hardship.plaint does no good to one's health.D.Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.4.Though leaders from the International Olympic Committee（IOC）have announced a first-of-its-kind postponement of the Tokyo Summer Olympics because of the corona virus epidemic, people all over the world are still concerned about its preparations. Officials from the Tokyo Olympic Committee say they are sparing no effort and announce the Tokyo Summer Olympics in 2021 is going green. The 5,000 medals Japan has made are more special than most.One novel focus of the Tokyo Olympics is to be "sustainable"—to avoid using too many natural resources, so that the games are easy on the environment. As part of this goal, the organizers decided to make all of the Olympic medals out of metal recycled from old electronics.Almost all electronics are made with small amounts of "precious metals", like gold and silver. But collecting enough of these metals to make 5,000 medals was a huge challenge. That's because the amount of metal in each device is tiny. It would take about 20,000 cell phones to get just I kilogram of gold.Beginning in April 2017, the organizers placed collection boxes around the country, and asked people to turn in their old electronic devices. Soon people began to respond to the initiative（倡导）, turning in smart phones, digital cameras, handheld games, and laptops. At first, collection went slowly, but soon more and more areas began to take part. By the end, 1,621 local governments had helped out with the collection process.Then came the job of breaking those devices down into smaller pieces. After being taken apart and sorted, the small electronics were smelted（熔炼）to get all the gold, silver, and bronze elements. This is a tricky job, which calls for careful attention and good skill. It's also dangerous, because some of the metals and other things aren't safe for people to touch or breathe.By the end of March, 2019, the organizers had hit their targets of getting enough metal for the medals. They had collected around 32 kilograms of gold, 4,100 kilograms of silver and 2,200 kilograms of bronze. And now all the 5,000 medals are available for the would-be winners.（1）What can we know about the Tokyo Olympics medals?A.They are hugely valuable.B.They are of high quality.C.They are designed uniquely.D.They are made from e-waste.（2）What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A.The difficulty of making the medals.B.The initiative to recycle used smart phones.C.The process of collecting old electronics.D.The classification of the collected devices.（3）The underlined word "tricky" in Paragraph 5 means "________".A.demandingB.creativeC.well-paidD.time-consuming（4）What's the purpose of Tokyo's way of making the medals?A.To promote the spirit of Olympic Games.B.To advocate sustainable use of resources.C.To introduce a new technique to make medals.D.To show the gravity of environmental damage.二、七选五阅读根据短文内容，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。

Low-Cost Gifts for Mother’s DayGift No. 1Offer to be your mother’s health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor’s visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need,” another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor’s visit. The best part? This one is free.Gift No. 2Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them. “Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother’s life,” Dr. Marie Savard said.Gift No. 3Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and fortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”Gift No. 4Some gift panies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother’s Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity. Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things —many of which are “green” — and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.1.What are you advised to do for your mother at doctor’s visits?A. Take notes.B. Be with her.C. Buy medicine.D. Give her gifts.2. Where can you find a gift idea to improve your mother’s sleep?A. In Gift No. 1.B. In Gift No. 2.C. In Gift No. 3.D. In Gift No. 4.3. Buying gifts from Presents for Purpose allows mothers to ______.A. give others helpB. be well-organizedC. get extra supportD. enjoy good sleepBJimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interv iew. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please. I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease （油脂） on him after the car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.Then the interv iewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was General Manager of the pany.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy satdown and they shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.4.Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?A. He was out of work.B. He hoped to find a better boss.C. He wanted a higher position.D. He was bored with his job.5.What did Jimmy see on the way to the interview?A. an old man’s car broke down.B. a wild man was pushing a car.C. a terrible accident happened.D. A friend’s car had a flat tyre.6.Why did the old man offer Jimmy a ride?A. He needed a traveling panion.B. He was also to be interviewed.C. He always helped people in need.D. He was thankful to Jimmy.7.What can we learn from Jimmy’s experience？A. Where there is a will, there’s a way.B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.C. Two heads are better than one.D. Good is rewarded with good.CIt happened to me recently. I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President. A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a brilliantly written book”. However, he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that my friend is not the only one. Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day’s “Report on Guilty Secrets”, Dreams From My Father is at number 9. The report lists ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading, and as I’m not one to lie too often (I’d hate to be caught out), I’ll admit here and now tha t I haven’t read the entire top ten. But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s really brilliant.The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven’t read him, but haven’t lied about it either) and Herman Melville.Asked why they lied, the most mon reason was to “impress” someone they were speaking to. This could be tricky if the conversation became more in-depth!But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, people named J. K. Rowling, John Grisham, Sophie Kinsella (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-two percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I’ll e clean: I do this and am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so).8. How did the author find his friend a book liar?A. By judging his manner of speaking.B. By mentioning a famous name.C. By looking into his background.D. By discussing the book itself.9. Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?A. 42% of people pretended to have read 1984.B. Charles Dickens is very low on the top-ten list.C. The author admitted having read 9 books.D. Dreams From My Father is hardly read.10. By lying about reading, a person hopes to ________.A. control the conversation.B. appear knowledgeable.C. learn about the book.D. make more friends.11. What is the author’s attitude to 58% of readers?A. DoubtfulB. UncaringC. FavorableD. FriendlyDFear may be felt in the heart as well as in the head, according to a study that has found a link between the cycles of a beating heart and the chance of someone feeling fear.Tests on healthy volunteers found that they were more likely to feel a sense of fear at the moment when their hearts are contracting and pumping blood around their bodies, pared with the point when the heartbeat is relaxed. Scientists say the results suggest that the heart is able to influence how the brain responds to a fearful event, depending on which point it is at in its regular cycle ofcontraction and relaxation.Sarah Garfinkel at the Brighton and Sussex Medical School said, “Our study shows for the first time that the way in which we deal with fear is different depending on when we see fearful pictures in relation to our heart.”The study tested 20 healthy volunteers on their reactions to fear as they were shown pictures of fearful faces. Dr. Garfinkel said, “The study showed that fearful faces are better noticed when the heart is pumping than when it is relaxed. Thus our hearts can also affect what we see and what we don’t see — and guide whether we see fear.”To further understand this relationship, the scientists also used a brain scanner to show how the brain influences the way the heart changes a person’s feeling of fear. “We have found an important mechanism by which the heart and brain ‘speak’to each other to change our feelings and reduce fear,” Dr. Garfinkel said.“We hope that by increasing our understanding about how fear is dealt with and ways that it could be reduced, we may be able to develop more successful treatments for anxiety disorders, and also for those who may be suffering from serious stress disorder.”12. What is the finding of the study?A. Fear is a result of one’s relaxed heartbeat.B. One’s heart affects how he feels fear.C. Fear has something to do with one’s health.D. One’s fast heartbeats are likely to cause fear.13. The study was carried out by analyzing _______.A. volunteers’ heartbeats when they saw terrible pictures.B. the time volunteers saw fearful pictures and their health conditions.C. volunteers’reactions to horrible pictures and data from their brain scans.D. different pictures shown to volunteers and their heart-brain munication.14. Which of the following is closest in meaning to “mechanism” in Paragraph 6?A. orderB. systemC. machineD. treatment15. This study may contribute to _______.A. treating anxiety and stress better.B. explaining the cycle of fear and anxiety.C. finding the key to the heart-brain munication.D. understanding different fears in our hearts and heads.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

And at age 23, she left for Nairobi, Kenya. There, Jane met famed Dr. Louis Leakey, who offered her a job at the local natural history museum. She worked there for a time before Leakey decided to send her to the Gombe Stream Game Reserve in Tanzania to study wild chimpanzees. He felt her strong interest in animals and nature, and her knowledge as well as high energy made her a great candidate to study the chimpanzees.In December 1958, Jane returned home to England and Leakey began to make arrangements for the expedition（考察）, securing the appropriate permissions from the government and raising funds. In May 1960, Jane learned that Leakey had gained funding from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.Jane arrived by boat at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve on the eastern shore of Lake Tanganyika with hermother. The early weeks at Gombe were challenging. Jane developed a fever that delayed the start of her work. Finally, an older chimpanzee named David Greybeard, began to allow Jane to watch him. As a high ranking male of the chimpanzee community, his acceptance meant other group members also allowed Jane to observe. It was David Greybeard whom Jane first witnessed using tools. Excited, she telegraphed Dr. Leakey about her observation. He wrote back, "Now we must redefine "tool', and 'man', or accept chimpanzees as humans."Jane continued to work in the field and, with Leakey's help, began her doctoral program without an undergraduate degree in 1962. At Cambridge University, she found herself at odds with senior scientists over the methods she used—how she had named the chimpanzees rather than using the more common numbering system, and for suggesting that the chimps have emotions and personalities. She further upset those in power at the university when she wrote her first book, My Friends, the Wild Chimpanzees, aimed at the general public rather than an academic audience. The book was wildly popular, and her academic peers were outraged. Dr. Jane Goodall earned her Ph.D. on February 9, 1966, and continued to work at Gombe for the next twenty years.（1）What can we infer from the passage?A.The journey to Kenya rooted Jane's deep love for animals.B.Dr. Leakey easily raised funds from the Wilkie Brothers Foundation.C.Jane's work at the Gombe Stream Game Reserve went along smoothly.D.Jane was the first to discover chimpanzees use tools.（2）What is the academic peers' attitude towards Jane's first book?A.Extremely ambiguous.B.Really angry.C.Truly sensitive.D.Genuinely pleased.（3）What does the underlined sentence imply in paragraph 4?A.Jane's method inspired more scientists to make further discoveries.B.Jane's achievements quickly attracted attention from senior scientists.C.Senior scientists disagreed with Jane's method in observing chimpanzees.D.Jane's study of chimpanzees received no support from scientists.（4）What can we learn from Jane Goodall?A.Passion and hard work can make a difference in scientific research.B.Challenging senior scientists is a must in gaining fame.C.Cooperation is the only key to making significant discoveries.D.The ability to raise funds counts in achieving great success.3.The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named "DriveLAB" in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people, leading to them becoming more isolated and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe, the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation（导航）tools, night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations. Phil Blythe explains: "For many older people, particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence, giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.""But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills. The result is that people stop driving before they really need to."Dr Amy Guo, the leading researcher on the older driver study, explains, "The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.""For example, most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly, we found that in 30 mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined. We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that."We hope that our work will help with technological solutions to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel."（1）What is the purpose of the DriveLAB?A.To explore new means of transport.B.To teach people traffic rules.C.To design new types of cars.D.To find out older driver's problems.（2）Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It cures their mental illnesses.B.It keeps them independent.C.It builds up their strength.D.It helps them save time.（3）What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Develop driver-assist technologies.B.Provide tips on repairing their cars.C.Improve their driving skills.anize regular physical checkups.（4）What is the best title for the text?A.Driving Service for EldersB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Keeping Older Drivers on the RoadD.A new Model Electric Car4.FaceApp has taken the world by storm, giving users the chance to see themselves age through its algorithm（算法）. 12.7 million people—some three million more than the population of New York City—reportedly downloaded it in a week last month.Although the Russian app has become known for its privacy issues, the more interesting lesson of our FaceApp fling （尽情玩乐）is what it tells us about our society—and our future lives. It turns out we are more interested in aging than we realized. Most younger people are denying old age, doing almost nothing to prepare for it. We rarely have a chance to plan for the future, with increasing time and financial pressures. Those pressures bring sacrifices we maynot always want to make: we can no longer afford to spend the time or the money needed to look after our elderly parents.As a family doctor, I can see the loneliness epidemic（流行病）developing. Elderly patients come to see me with no particular illness, no clear medical issue. After a few minutes of the consultation, I understand why: they are not sick, and often they don't feel sick. They just need someone—anyone—to talk to.Although loneliness has no medical classification, the health effects are real: loneliness and isolation can be as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and is more damaging than obesity. But loneliness does not come with nearly enough health warnings.So what next? Since 1980, we are living on average 10 years longer. Meanwhile, people are having fewer children, and they are having them much later in life. The snake of a world class health service is eating its own tail; its care is prolonging people's lives, but as the rate of pensioners（退休人员）to working-age people increases, there are fewer taxpayers to fund that very health service.Into this emptiness have stepped NGOs, charities and volunteers. But in the long term, the only way to truly help the oldest members of our society is to go back to the traditional values of inter-generational cooperation—often under the same roof. Ultimately, we will need to evolve towards a culture where elderly care is treated the same as childcare, where employers recognize the duty of someone with an elderly parent the same way they recognize those of someone with a newborn child.（1）What's the writer's intention of mentioning FaceApp in the first two paragraphs?A.To prove its popularity.B.To introduce the topic of aging and loneliness.C.To show the progress of technology.D. To explain its function.（2）What makes elderly people without illness go to see their family doctors?A.Desire to have the consultation.B.Questions to ask doctors.C.Unclear medical issues.D.Strong feeling of loneliness.（3）How can the oldest members be truly helped?A.By providing family care.B.By going back to the traditional society.C.By being treated as children.D.By living with other elderly people under the same roof.（4）What can we learn from the passage?A.Health service lacks fund because of prolonged people's lives.B.FaceApp's popularity proves it has no security problems.C.The loneliness of elderly people needs more attention.D.FaceApp is helpful in dealing with elderly people's loneliness.二、七选五根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
