boy I always wanted to be a cowboy I remember my Mom worrying about me getting sick from the heat in the summer because I worea thick blue sweater all the time No respectable cowboy however would wear short sleeves so I sweated while I playedOne day my parents gave me a bb gun It looked just like a gun that all the cowboys used in the movies I spent hours each day during those summer months shooting at stumps and pretending to be John Wayne film actor who played tough heroes As I was coming into the house one afternoon though I tried it one time too many The gun that I thought was empty let out a soft pop and a bullet flew across the room and parted the hair of my Dad who was asleep on the couch My Dad took one look at the bb hole a half inch above his head walked over to me took my gun walked outside and calmly broke it in halfI didnt cry too much over this I knew how close I had come to hurting my Dad with my stupidity I didnt expect to ever get another bb gun either That is why I was so surprised when my Dad bought me another one the next year I guess he thought I had wised up enough to know how to use it this time I never put a single bb in the new gun but in my imagination John Wayne rode againI eventually outgrew my cowboy stage but I never did outgrow my appreciation for my Fathers forgiveness He gave me another chance and let me know that I was forgiven whether I deserved it or not He shared with me some of the unconditional love and forgiveness May we always embrace and share that love and forgiveness as well56The author wore a thick blue sweater becauseAhe was easy to get sickBhe wanted to be like a cowboyChe hoped to be respected by cowboysDhe didnt want his mother to worry about him57How did the author feel when he received the first bb gunADoubtful BSurprised CRegretful DOverjoyed58The author wasnt very sad after his bb gun was broken because Ahe understood his mistakeBhis father didnt scold himChis father was not hurt after allDhe expected to get another bb gun59After Dad bought him another bb gun the authorAforgot how to use it Bwas excited to use itCfelt thankful for his rather Dhad lost interest in cowboys60What might be the most suitable title for the passageAA New BB Bun BA Fathers forgivenessCA Cowboys Experience DThe Mistake of a naughty BoyBGlobal Positioning Systems 全球定位系统 are now a part of everydaydriving in many countries These satellite-based systems provideturn-by-turn directions to help people get to where they want to goHowever they can also cause a lot of problems send you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost Many times the driver is to blame Sometimes a GPS error is responsible Most often says Barry Brown it is a combination of the twoBarry Brown is with the Mobile Life Centre in Stockholm Sweden He told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern United States There he borrowed a GPS-equipped car to use during his stay Mr Brown says 揟hey just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination And then it wasnit until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they actually put in a destination back on the west coast where they lived They actually put their home address in So again the GPS is kind of garbage in garbage outuMr Brown says this is a common human error but what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings or failures of GPS equipment He says 揙ne problem with a lot of the GPS units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn sBecause they just give you the next turn sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong placeMr Brown says 揙ne of the things that struck us perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youhere doing when you use a GPS There are these new skills that people have developed There are these new competencies 资格 that you need to have to be able to use a GPS because they sometimesgo wrong This goes against a common belief that GPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skillsBarry Brown says to make GPS systems better we need a better understanding of how drivers passengers and GPS systems work together 61According to Barry Brow in most cases are blame for the problemsAhuman errorsBGPS errorsCerrors caused by both drivers and GPSDerrors caused by putting in a wrong address62The example of Barry Browns friend is used to show that AGPS is nothing but garbageBGPS is still not accurate enoughCit is difficult for drivers to use GPS equipmentDsometimes drivers are responsible for the problem63It can be inferred from the second paragraph thatAIts impossible to drive from the east to the west in the USBBarry Browns friend went to Stockholm Sweden by planeCGiven wrong instructions the GPS will produce wrong resultsDGPS systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational skills 64Which of the followings is one of the shortcomings of GPS equipment AIt just tells the driver to turn once at a timeBIt gives the driver the overviewCIts screen is too small to be seen clearlyDIt is only suitable for passive drivers65Whats the main idea of the textAGPS systems are helpful for driversBDriving with GPS can be difficult to navigate 导航CDrivers should understand how GPS systems workDDrivers should learn to use GPS systems correctlyCDepression抑郁症is a serious problem today Depression causes workers to be unproductive causing companies and countries to lose billions of dollars One expert says that depression

morning just have time to say Hello how do you feelIn Western countries people are not afraid to admit that they have depression but most do not tell it to their boss because they fear that they will be stricken off the rolls In my experience aging bosses are the most willing to admit they have it Because they feel the most secure about themselvesan American doctor saysHopefully in the near future people around the world will be able to admit that they have depression so that they can get the right treatment 66Which of the following is true according to the passageAIt is widely believed that everyone may suffer from depressionBDepression brings great problems to its sufferers in their life and workCDepression is a commonly-existing problem only in rich countriesDThe poorer and the less

targeted at people with lower IQs Their findings were published in the journal Psychological Medicine[2]The researchers analyzed data from the Adult Psychiatric Morbity Survey in England One of the questions wasTaking all things together how would you say you were these daysvery happy fairly happy or not too happyThe highest part saying they were was found in people with an IQ between 120 and 129-43 said they were very happy[3]However the highest proportion saying not too happywas found in people with an IQ between 70 and 79The study said lower intelligence was linked to lower income worse health and needing help with daily life such as shopping or houseworkall of which contributed to unhappiness[4]Dr Hassiotis saidThere is some evidence that long term strategies directed at young children from poor backgrounds can have a positive impact on IQ wellbeing and life opportunities Such interventions 干涉 are likely to be costly but the initial costs may be offset抵消by future benefits such as a reduced reliance on state benefits and better mental and physical health[5]He added that the study was particularly helpful as it identified some of the factors因素that influence the association between IQ and happiness The study also emphasized the interventions to prevent lower IQ leading to greater unhappiness76What does the passage mainly talk about no more than 10 words

On any other day, she would have been content to hang around some high street stores. But earlier this year, Ezer entered her favorite shop and created a fashion fairytale, one that led to the 88-year-old Londoner starring in a high street brand’s autumn-winter campaign.Recalling their encounter, Ezer said she was just wandering around White Stuff’s shop when someone came over and asked her to take pictures. “She really stood out to me,” says her photographer. “She looked so individual and lively.” Soon, her images were shared on Instagram as part of customer street-style series. The comments were very favorable and completely unexpected, because the brand invited Ezer to appear in its main autumn campaign.Ezer’s interest in fashion kicked off at eight years old. Entering university, she studied drama and performance. After marriage, she wanted to perform, but it wasn’t that easy. So she worked as a model until their children’s birth. Once all her children were in school, she returned to drama, running Shakespeare workshops and other theatre projects in schools. Finding herself the poster girl for a brand aged 88 has been the happiest surprise of her later life.“You don’t see many mature women in fashion,” she says, “Brands should have some older models who look the way they look, rather than trying to look much younger. I’ll be happy to see people from the older generation watching my posters, think she looks okay. Maybe I can wear that kind of thing, too.” Then, she added, “I suppose it gives you confidence, as an older person and makes you realize that whatever you would like to try, you should go ahead and do it.”4．What brought Ezer to a high street brand campaign?A．A visit to a photographer.B．Keeping brand relationships.C．An unexpected encounter.D．Winning a model competition.5．What can we learn about Ezer from paragraph 3?A．She sacrificed her family life.B．She stuck to her pursuit to art.C．She started workshops in youth.D．She became a successful dramatist. 6．What change in fashion does Ezer advocate?A．Models from older generations.B．Greater diversity in fashion style.C．Elderly people with much make-up.D．Mature models in their natural state. 7．Which of the following can best describe Ezer?A．Confident and inspiring.B．Responsible and generous.C．Creative and fashionable.D．Humorous and determined.Plastic pollution is growing rapidly across Earth’s ecosystems and its threat to humanity and wildlife is too. Outcomes for health and the environment will be severe unless we address it, says a United Nations (UN) report. But the discovery of microplastics in human blood means immediate action is needed.Researchers found tiny plastic particles (微粒), less than one-thousandth of a millimeter in size, in almost 80 percent of 22 people they tested. Such small plastics can travel through the body and could stick in our vital organs. These tiny pieces could damage cells and tissues, causing many diseases like cancer.“I was shocked but not surprised. We already knew that microplastics have been found in human organs. The body finds it hard to break these particles down, which associate them with chronic (长期的) disease,” said Jo Royle, the CEO of Common Seas—a social enterprise looking to stop plastic pollution. “It’s clear that the best way to battle with microplastics and prevent health problems is to make sure they don’t end up being deserted in our environment in the first place,” added Royle. “This is why we need leaders and businesses to take responsibility for plastic trash along its lifecycle.”Some oil and gas companies that supply plastic products plan to expand plastic output and double production in the next 20 years. But analysts say that would backfire on people, governments, and industries rejecting plastic to protect the environment. Big brands are reducing plastic packaging and changing to alternatives. Plastic is seen as a threat as large as climate change and a UN treaty against pollution is the result.Natural products like plant materials and even silk offer plastic alternatives, especially in food and product packaging. But the UN believes we cannot simply recycle our way out ofthe problem. An immediate reduction and industry transformation are needed. As the blood microplastic study suggests, that transformation must be rapid. Because the rate at which we absorb plastic into our bodies is faster than the rate we remove it. And that needs a planet-wide response.8．What is the best way to solve microplastics problems according to Royle?A．Medical treatments for microplastics.B．Restrictions on throwing plastic waste.C．Developing natural alternatives to plastic.D．Raising personal awareness of microplastic.9．What do the underlined words “backfire on” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Go against.B．Apply to.C．Depend on.D．Respond to. 10．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Recycling plastics proves to be not effective at all.B．Rapid transformation in plastic industry is needed.C．Most natural materials can be alternatives to plastics.D．The rate of bodies’ absorbing plastics is uncontrollable.11．Which can be a suitable title for the text?A．Plastic Pollution Is Transforming Humans’ LifestyleB．Increasing Updated Plastics Have Enjoyed PopularityC．Microplastics in Blood Highlight Health EmergencyD．Practical Solutions to Plastic Waste Are ApproachingMost people who’ve stayed up all night know the “tired and nervous” feeling the next day. The body might be exhausted, but the brain feels active or even crazy. Even after these changes fade away, sleep loss can have a strong anti-depression effect on people for several days.To figure it out, a team of biologists from Northwestern University looked at the effects of sleep loss in mice. In the beginning, they created a depressed state in all the mice by repeatedly giving them small shocks. In response to these shocks, the mice entered a depressive-like state and eventually stopped trying to escape their cages. Subsequently, some were allowed to sleep while others were forced to stay up. Later, they tested the mice’s response to shocks again. They found that after this sleepless night, the mice that had stayedup were less depressed and showed more attempts to escape the shocks.What causes these changes in mice? To see how the mice’s brains responded to their sleepless night, the researchers measured dopamine neuron (神经元) activity. They saw that mice lacking in sleep showed higher dopamine activity in three regions: the prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮质), nucleus accumbens (伏隔核) and hypothalamus (下丘脑).To figure out which areas were related to the mice’s anti-depression effect, they silenced dopamine reactions in each of these areas of the brain. The anti-depression effect disappeared in mice when the team silenced the dopamine input in the prefrontal cortex, while it continued to exist when they do the same to the other two regions. That’s why Yevgenia Kozorovitskiy, the leading researcher, says that this region may be important in relieving depression.Based on the belief that transitions between a depressed state and a non-depressed state are influenced by the brain’s ability to reorganize connections, Kozorovitskiy and her team looked at individual neurons in the prefrontal cortex for signs of growth. They saw evidence of the new connections, suggesting that dopamine had reconnected neurons in the mice brains to maintain their mood for several days. Kozorovitskiy says this work may help future studies on depression treatment, but whether it’ll cure depression remains to be seen.12．What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A．To present a fact.B．To introduce a study.C．To make a prediction.D．To analyze a phenomenon.13．What did researchers find in their study?A．The mice staying up were constantly depressed.B．The mice with sleep loss gave up escaping cages.C．The mice with enough sleep didn’t react to shocks.D．The mice sleeping less were in anti-depression state.14．What is paragraph 4 mainly about?A．Uncovering causes of mice’s changes.B．Testing new treatment for depression.C．Finding mice’s reaction to environment.D．Assessing the amount of dopamine input. 15．What is Kozorovitskiy’s attitude towards the finding of the study?A．Optimistic.B．Objective.C．Doubtful.D．Negative.二、七选五Have you considered how to choose your major in university, which is of great significance for your future career? Here is some practical advice.Initially, don’t choose a major merely based on money, otherwise mistakes will happen.16 Can you see yourself investing the next 40 years in this career without getting bored? Actually choosing a major with high-paying career won’t guarantee you a high-paying job. It depends on position openings and your competitors when you graduate.17 You want to pick something that interests you, but you need to be sure you won’t get sick of it as time progresses. 18 A hobby is a pursuit outside one’s regular occupation for relaxation while passion comforts you and drives you crazy at the same time. It isn’t relaxing. It inserts itself into your life. When you choose to study your hobby and build your life around it, it can lose its appeal and won’t be relaxing.Thirdly, never choose a major by feeling instead of research. Being interested in a major isn’t enough. Researching the field will ensure you to choose a right major. If you know someone in the field, ask them for some information. Besides, consider the entire journey you’ll pursue—the coursework, the major demands, the school time you’ll need, and the available job prospects. 19Lastly, don’t always depend on your parents. 20 However, the choice is ultimately yours. If anyone wants to help you in choosing a major and you completely agree with their opinions, then go with it. But if you want your future to go in any other direction, speak up. The only way to get the best outcome is to shape your own future.A．Next, a hobby is never meant to be your priority.B．The opinions of your family aren’t something to ignore.C．Besides, keep a balance between hobbies and relaxation.D．Typically, people will confuse their hobbies with their passions.E．You should also consider your passions, dislikes, and happiness.F．Remember college is an investment of both your time and money.G．If you’re passionate about a major after research, follow your heart.三、完形填空I was sitting in the living room with my pet, Toby, when there was a loud knock on thedoor. “The whole area’s flooding.

2020-2021学年山东省实验中学高三英语三模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BAs an old saying inChinagoes, “The days of the Sanjiu periodare the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period” , which is in Minor Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the l9th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice(冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold inChina.Eating hotpotDuringMinor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.Eating huangyacaiInTianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved pork, sausages and peanuts and mix them into the rice.Eating vegetable riceIn ancient times, people inNanjingtook Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice issteamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausages and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.4. What do we know about Minor Cold?A. It refers to the Winter Solstice.B. The Sanjiu period is in this period.C. It lasts twenty-seven days.D. It marks the first day of winter.5. What is a special custom in Tianjin in Minor Cold？A. Eating hotpot.B. Having vitamin A and B pills.C. Having huangyacai.D. Buying cabbage.6. How do the Cantonese eat glutinous rice?A. They fry and toast it.B. They eatit for dinner.C. They mix it with many other things.D. They steam it with soy sauce.7. This text may be taken from the ________ column (栏目) of a newspaper.A. travelB. cultureC. fashionD. scienceCIt's the near future.Animal populations have fallen sharply and 80% of species are extinct.The forests are so rare that you need to make a booking to visit one. Birds also face extinction.The Arctic terns,a species evolved to fly across the world on4000kmannual journeys，are on their last migration (迁徙) to Antarctica.The Last Migrationby the Sydney-based writer Charlotte McConaghy is a different sort of climate novel，one in which the heroine's(女主人公)damaged soul is as much a story as the damaged environment This is McConaghy's first work of literary fiction,after a history publishing in science fiction and a romantic fantasy series."I wanted to try and engage with the climate crisis closely,"she said."It's hard to nail down where he book came from.But I had Toni Morrison's words in my head:'If there's a book you really want to read,but i hasn't been written yet,then you must write it.'I love that. It really speaks to me.""I wanted to write about the way the natural world is disappearing but I didn't know a way in."The way in”, she says, was to"go travelling.I went to Ireland and Iceland,and thought about these incredible journeys of the ternsand these people who study hes journeys."The book became a story of a double journey: the migration of the birds,and a broken woman's travelling to the end of the earth.Much of the book is told in flashbacks, the action jumping between the south coast of New South Wales to the west coast of Ireland and to Greenland."I've always been fascinated with Ireland: the landscape, the people and the poetry and music.I was fascinated with writing a character from there. It was a way to connect more with the place."McConaghy says she also wanted to have a character who was"of two places"."I had lived in 21 houses by the time I was 21, as a result I definitely know how it feels to feel as if you are not sure where you belong and feeling as if you are between two worlds."8. How isThe Last Migrationdifferent from other climate novels?A. It forecasts environmental destruction.B. It features a bird's cross-continental migration.C It combines science fiction well with romantic fantasy.D. It attaches equal importance to the heroine's broken soul.9. What did McConaghy think of Toni Morrison's words?A. Inspirational.B. One-sided.C. Authoritative.D. Casual.10. Why did McConaghy go travelling?A. To appreciate the landscape of Ireland.B. To follow the migration of the birds.C. To get away from her tiresome life.D. To find ideas for her new book.11. How might a character "of two places"feel?A. Content and carefree.B. More connected with nature.C. Lacking in a sense of belonging.D. Knowledgeable about the world.DFirefighters in Florida this week helped rescue a bald eagle with a fishing hook stuck in its beak（嘴）and the attached line wrapped around its wing and beak.

2021年山东省实验中学高三第三次诊断考试英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Humans aren’t the only ones getting a buzz from coffee．Caffeine can improve memory among honeybees and lead to better pollination(授粉)．According to a recent study published in the journal Science．The study was conducted by a team of researchers at Newcastle University in the United Kingdom．They found that the nectar(花蜜)of some flowers，such as those from grapefruit and lemon plants，as well as certain coffee flowers，contains low doses of caffeine．To get bees to feed on these flowers，the team trained the insects to associate food with the smell of the flowers．They also trained another group of bees to feed on nectar from flowers that were sweetened with a sugar, but did not contain caffeine．After 24 hours，the bees trained on caffeinated flowers returned to these plants three times as often as those trained on the sweetened flowers returned to the uncaffeinated plants．Professor Geraldine Wright led the researchers．“Reme mbering floral traits(花部特征)is difficult for bees to perform at a fast pace as they fly from flower to flower and we found that caffeine helps the bee remember where the flowers are，”Wright said in a statement．Improved memory led to the better pollination．That’s because once bees sip the caffeine nectar, they continue to look for more coffee plants to pollinate．This also suggests that caffeine plays a role in improving the bees’ability to search for food．Researchers found that caffeine’s effect on the bee brain is similar to its effect on mammals．“The change is similar to that produced by caffeine in neurons(神经元)associated with learning and memory in the rat brain，”Wright said．Bee populations have declining since 2007．The dramatic drop in the insects’numbers has serious effects for ecosystems and the farming industry．Bees are needed in the reproduction of crops and spreading wild flower species．Understanding what keeps bees buzzing could help to make sure that the insects are able to remember and pollinate their favorite flowers．1．Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?A．Caffeine has no effect on the rat brain．B．Bee population has been increasing．C．The nectar of lemon plants contains caffeine．D．Bees dislike nectar from sweetened flowers．2．After reading the passage，John，who works in the farming industry, will probablyfeel________.A．annoyed B．angry C．nervous D．excited 3．Which of the following relationship is correct according to the passage?A．improved memory—caffeine nectar—better pollinationB．caffeine nectar—improved memory—better pollinationC．improved memory—better pollination—caffeine nectarD．caffeine nectar—better pollination—improved memory4．What section of a newspaper may this passage be taken from?A．Science B．EducationC．Culture D．SportsNothing evokes(唤起)Alaska like a whale exploding out of the water or an eagle pulling a silver fish from the river .Combine these images with high mountains，brilliant icebergs and wonderful meals and you really do have the Best of Alaska!

Croman has broken his bones，his shoulder and elbow, and nearly drowned several times．He’s also had three close encounters with sharks over the years．A 10-foot wave landed directly on top of him five years ago，bending his body to the point that he actually kicked himself in the head．”I literally heard every bone in my body crack．”he said．Croman has been photographing ocean waves since 2008，sometimes risking his life to get that perfect shot at the surf break．Despite the risks and certain injuries that come with wave photography, the Hawaii resident，body surfer and former competitive swimmer wouldn’t do anything else．The 36-year-old photographer loves the thrill of meeting breaking waves head on，shooting waves as his interest and shooting surfers to pay the bills．The process of photographing waves requires more than just swimming out to where the surf breaks and waiting，he says．The night before a photo shoot Croman checks ，a website and the coastal camera network that provides live and predicted ocean weather information，to see what the winds，waves and tide will be like at certain times．Croman has both a primary camera and a backup for emergencies．He goes without a wetsuit and uses heavy duty underwater housing to protect his camera．There is no great way for him to protect himself．He admits there are probably protective clothes he should be wearing，but there is little he could have done to decrease the impact of the 10-foot wave that crashed on top of him．The hardest part of Croman’s job is staying calm in the face of breaking waves when his initial reaction is to panic and swim away．At most．Croman will take two to three shots of a single wave．”I've shot waves for so many years now that I see the wa ve in slow movement，”he said．9．What do we know about Kenji Croman’s job from the first paragraph?A．It is a game of death．B．It is full of mysteries．C．It requires patience．D．It calls for courage．10．How does Kenji Croman make a living?A．By taking swimming races．B．By teaching photography．C．By shooting surfers．D．By surfing waves．11．Why does Kenji Croman check the websites like ?A．To get better prepared for shooting．B．To predict something about weather．C．To learn more about surfing waves．D．To buy better equipment for safety．12．What would be the best title of the text?A．Taking adventures around the oceanB．Risking his life for the perfect waveC．Making preparations for life risksD．Appreciating breaking waves in dangerRobots that can chat，find misplaced glasses，draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an expo in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society．Robots，such as the sound．sensitive Chapit，answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert in old age．Japan has one of the world’s fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent．”Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to，”said Kazuya Kitamura representative of the expo organizer．“Communication robots accompany people and don’t mind listening to the same stories over and over again．”Matsumoto’s“Personal Mobility Robot，”equipped with four ca meras and a sensor to recognize the user's centre of gravity, is designed to help elderly move around without pressing buttons．using joysticks(操纵杆)or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs．The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor．Other robots，such as the award-winning“DiGRO”can support
