His mother had been sad in recent days, not sick, just strangely sad. The lion had just lain down beside him, his head warm on Bertie’s feet, when Father cleared his throat and began, “You’ll soon be eight, Bertie. A boy needs a proper education. We’ve found the right place for you, a school near Salisbury in England.”His heart filled with a terrible fear, all Bertie could think of was his white lion. “But the lion,” he cried, “What about the lion?”“I’m afraid there’s something else I have to tell you,” his father said. Looking across at Bertie’s mother, he took a deep breath. Then he told Bertie he had met a circus owner from France, who was over in Africa looking for lions to buy. He would come to their farm in a few days.“No! You can’t send him to a circus!” said Bertie. “He’ll be shut up behind bars. I promised him he never would be. And they will come to see him and laugh at him. He’d rather die. Any animal would!” But as he looked across the table at them, he knew their minds were quite made up.Bertie felt completely betrayed. He waited until he heard his father’s deep breathing next door. With his white lion at his heels, he crept downstairs in his pyjamas, took down his father’s rifle from the rack and stepped out into the night. He ran and ran till his legs could run no more. As the sun came up over the grassland, he climbed to the top of a hill and sat down, his arms round the lion’s neck. The time had come. “Be wild now,” he whispered. “You’ve got to be wild. Don’t ever come home. All my life I’ll think of you, I promise I will.” He buried his head in the lion’s neck. Then, Bertie clambered down off the hill and walked away.When he looked back, the lion was still sitting there watching him; but then he stood up,yawned, stretched, and sprang down after him. Bertie shouted at him, but he kept coming. He threw sticks. He threw stones. Nothing worked.There was only one thing left to do. Tears filling his eyes and his mouth, he lifted the rifle to his shoulder and fired over the lion’s head.4．Bertie’s mother was sad probably because she________.A．had lied about her good health condition B．had decided to send Bertie to a new schoolC．knew selling the lion would upset Bertie D．knew Bertie would hate to go to England 5．The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to________.A．some audience B．other animals C．Bertie’s friends D．circus’s owners 6．In the last paragraph, the boy lifted the rifle at the lion to________.A．kill the lion out of helplessness B．protect himself from being chased C．threaten the lion back to the wild D．show his anger towards his father 7．The passage intends to show that________.A．circuses are the last places for animals to liveB．animals belonging to the wild should be set freeC．parents are sometimes cruel to their childrenD．people and animals can be faithful to each otherOn the edge of the Atlantic, there is much more water on islands. Experts say the Uists (尤伊斯特群岛) in the UK, known as the “long isles” as they stretch for 100 miles, are on the front line of climate change and some of those who call this home are already adapting to their changing landscape. Donald MacPhee, an islander told BBC, “We seem to be getting a lot more rain—very unpredictable, but back in my father’s days you could guarantee that you’d have plenty of dry weather in August. But now it’s very unpredictable.” This low-lying watery landscape is weak to changes in our climate—with predictions that the sea level here could rise by as much as half a meter over the next few decades.And that’s not the only challenge facing these islands which are so exposed to wet and stormy weather. Professor Stewart Angus, a coastal ecologist said, “A lot of the land actually lies below the level of the sea for much of the tidal cycle. Secondly, you have rising sea levels. Thirdly, you have rising rainfall in winter. Thus you have the great difficulty in a verylow-lying environment of removing that water. In fact, the rising sea level alone has thepotential to raise water levels within the islands by progressively reducing the effectiveness of an ageing drainage network.”The airport here provides a lifeline service to islanders. A million pounds has been spent on the latest work to protect the runway, which ends just meters from the shore. At the islands’ arts center, a picture of a rising line is shown. Andy Mackinnon, an artist told us, “So, the line represents a symbolic level that the sea will rise to. I hope that it does make people think about what we’re doing.”And from the children here, out of taking care of their local beach, messages in English and Gaelic (盖尔语) of their hopes and fears are being sent to the UN climate summit in Glasgow. “Stop sea levels rising. We could be under the water soon.” These small islands hope for big commitments from world leaders to lessen the worst that climate change might bring.8．What does the first paragraph imply?A．The Uists have been under the sea water.B．The weather here now is still predictable.C．The islands are at risk due to climate change.D．The sea level will rise by 0.5 meter in decades.9．What is the big challenge for islanders now according to Paragraph 2?A．Wet and hot weather.B．The irregular tidal cycle. C．Protecting the runway.D．Getting rid of the water.10．What is Andy Mackinnon’s attitude towards the islands?A．Concerned.B．Indifferent.C．Neutral.D．Relieved. 11．What might be talked about in the paragraph following the text?A．What action the UK government will take.B．What help the UN can provide for islanders.C．What relief supplies children here will receive.D．What other effects climate change may bring.Scientists have an unlikely new helper while exploring the Earth’s crust (地壳) deep beneath the ocean: Fin whales. New research, published Thursday in Science, finds these Fin whale calls’ sound waves can help create images of the seafloor down to 2. 5 kilometers.Seafloor imaging, which is important for studying things like earthquake mechanics andcarbon storage capacity, usually uses large air guns that send waves of sound downwards. The sound waves go through the crust and bounce back to instruments on the seafloor, carrying information about the structures they travel through. But such surveys are expensive, and the guns’ explosive noise may interrupt sea creatures that use sound to communicate.Vaclav Kuna, the study co-author, was studying earthquakes when he noticed strange readings on the seafloor seismic (地震的) instruments, which turned out to match the frequencies of fin whale calls. Whale songs often appear in such instruments’ records, says Emily Roland, a marine seismologist at the University of Washington. Seismologists usually see these signals as annoyance. Kuna, however, noticed that the signals were not coming directly from the whales, but were echoes bouncing back from within the crust.This technique does have limitations, Kuna says. Fin whale songs are limited in frequency, meaning the subsurface images are not as clear as those made with air guns. Additionally, a relatively flat seafloor is needed to triangulate (作三角测量) the whales’ positions while multiple stations would be needed in uneven or mountainous regions, he says.Nevertheless, these whales are found almost everywhere except the ice-covered areas of the Arctic. The whale calls’ wide existence means they could provide new insight into old seismic datasets, Roland says. “At least the whale songs can serve as an additional source of signals. They are free and they are always there,” Kuna says. “It’s a win-win.”12．What do we know about seafloor imaging in Paragraph 2?A．It may affect some sea animals.B．It can help predict earthquakes.C．It is not completely accurate.D．It is environmentally-friendly. 13．What can we infer about fin whale calls?A．They can help scientists to locate their habitats.B．They are easy to record and measure in the ocean.C．They are likely to be used for seafloor imaging.D．They have different frequencies among fin whales.14．What is the potential use of fin whale songs?A．Exchanging messages between whales.B．Working as an extra source of signals.C．Providing useful insights into whales.D．Exploring the ice-covered areas of the Arctic.15．What is the best title for the text?A．Fin Whale Calls Reveal Structure beneath Ocean FloorB．Fin Whales Communicate by Singing Special SongsC．Fin Whale Protection Is a Win-win Move for AllD．Seafloor Imaging Helps to Locate More Resources二、七选五Sports day! These two words can inspire both joy and fear in the hearts of students everywhere.____16____And it’s also the chance to bag a prize or two. For others, it might feel like having to take part in something they aren’t good at.Today, more and more schools have recognized the importance of exercise. Many of them have non-competitive” sports days. They hope that by making sports days less competitive, children of all abilities will be encouraged to take part without fear of losing. Exercise and fitness is important for everyone, no matter how good at sport youare.____17____However, some people feel that it’s important that sport has winners and that learning to lose is just as important as learning how to win.____18____Particularly, on a sports day which is your chance to really prove yourself!____19____According to a 2017 survey by Families Online, 82% of parents say they prefer “traditional” competitive sports days. Many adults feel that children can learn valuable lessons in both winning and losing. It’s also an opportunity for some children to show off their physical and sporting skills.People have different ideas about whether it is the winning or the taking part that counts when it comes to school sports days____20____We want to know your ideas.A．What’s the point if no one wins?B．Should sport just be about winning?C．For many, sports day can be a great day of fun.D．So, should School Sports Day be competitive or not?E．Everyone should be celebrated for trying and playing their part.F．There are lots of people who agree with the idea—parents in particular!G．Many parents are worried that their kids can get injured when doing sports.三、完形填空The train shook back and forth, its wheels making a loud noise on the tracks.

四川省成都石室中学2022-2023学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解Less than two months away from the Spring Festival, sales on travel websites start to hit a seasonal high. As the influence of Chinese New Year expands, international tourism also helps to introduce this indispensable cultural heritage to every corner of the world, which means in 2023, more Chinese people choose to spend their holidays overseas.Big time for family tripsAccording to the statistics posted by Ctrip, one of the biggest platforms for travel products, the top 10 most visited countries by Chinese tourists will be Japan, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, Vietnam, Indonesia, the United States, Malaysia, Philippines and Italy.Over 70 percent of travelers decide to have a family vacation abroad. “The bookings on our website have risen 32 percent compared with the Spring Festival season last year. And the prices are 10 percent higher,” said Zou Qingling, outbound tourism manager of Lvmama. “Some of our packages to Europe or the US have already been fully booked.”Flexible schedules favoredThough the holiday officially spans Feb. 4 to 10, many choose to leave their office in advance or postpone the return date. In this way, they will manage to avoid the crowds at the airports, and save a considerable sum on hotels and flight tickets.If you haven’t planned anything yet, here is an important tip — leave before Jan. 31 or after Feb. 6. The most expensive time to travel is between Feb. 2 and 6, with an average of over 10,000 yuan per person.Different places, same customsFamily trips pay special attention to tradition and customs, especially during the most conventional holiday in Chinese culture. Many people still believe that the Spring Festival is about family and the joy of reunion. To create a homey experience overseas, travel agencies design a variety of events including a New Year’s Eve dinner on the Nile, making dumplings at a Parisian castle, and a Chinese New Year gala at a five-star hotel in Amman. World-famous landmarks also receive a Spring Festival makeover. From Feb. 2 to Feb. 17, Universal Studios Hollywood will dress its cartoon characters in traditional Chinesecostumes.If you are one of those who want to celebrate the Spring Festival at home, enjoy your homecoming. But if you haven’t made up your mind for the moment, it’s never too late to try something new and plan a family trip abroad during the New Year.1．To save money, your family is most likely to travel abroad between ________. A．Feb. 1 and 5.B．Feb. 2 and 6.C．Feb. 5 and 10.D．Feb. 7 and 11. 2．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?A．India has been rated among the top 10 most visited countries by Chinese.B．It is impossible to reserve any package tour to the US from Lvmama now.C．One will find the trip fairly cheap as long as avoiding it between Feb 2 and 6.D．A Chinese family may experience a festival atmosphere abroad during the New Year. 3．What’s the purpose of this text?A．To introduce the growing popularity of international tourism.B．To give suggestions on appropriate time for traveling abroad.C．To recommend making overseas tours in the Spring Festival.D．To promote the role traveling plays in spreading Chinese culture.The man walked down the trail on a cold day. This was his first winter in Alaska. He was on his way to a camp near Henderson Creek. His friends were already there. He expected to reach Henderson Creek by six o’clock that evening. It would be dark by then.He continued his way until he came to a frozen stream called Indian Creek. He began to walk on the snow-covered ice. It was a trail that would lead him straight to Henderson Creek and his friends.Then he had to walk around a part of the frozen stream, where an underground spring flowed under the ice, which made the ice thin. If he stepped there, he might break through the ice into a pool of water. To get his boots wet in such cold weather might kill him.At a place where the snow seemed very solid, the ice suddenly broke. The man’s feet sank into the water. It was not deep, but his legs got wet to the knees. Now he had to build a fire to dry his clothes and boots. He collected pieces of dry grass and wood, pulled off his gloves, took out his matches, and lit the fire.Now, the fire was beginning to burn strongly. He was safe. He sat under the tree and thought of the old men in Fairbanks. They had told him that no man should travel alone whenthe temperature was sixty degrees below zero. Yet here he was. He had had an accident so he was alone. And to save himself, he had built a fire.Suddenly, without warning, a heavy mass of snow dropped down just onto the fire. He reached into his pocket for the matches again. But his fingers were frozen. He couldn’t hold them and all the matches fell onto the snow. He tried to pick one up, but failed. Seeing the matches, he couldn’t do anything…4．Why did the man try to get to the camp on his own?A．Because he was braver than others.B．Because he always preferred traveling alone.C．Because an accident caused him to fall behind.D．Because he thought that others walked too slowly.5．The man chose to reach the camp by way of Indian Creek because ________.A．it was a shortcut B．Indian Creek was easy to crossC．it was very safe D．some old people there would help him 6．Why did the ice break in the fourth paragraph?A．Because the snow stopped and the ice was too thin to step on.B．Because there was an underground spring flowing under the ice.C．Because the fire he started with the wood he carried melted the ice.D．Because he and his stuff were too heavy and the stream was not frozen.7．What can we infer about the man from the passage?A．He was not really in danger.B．He still had ways to start another fire. C．He regretted not taking the old men’s advice.D．He was spotted and rescued by his friends.The Land Under the SeaTen thousand years ago, as the last ice age ended, sea levels around the world were far lower than they are today. Much of the land under both the North Sea to the east of Britain and the English Channel which now separates France and Britain was part of a huge region of forests and grassy plains. Then the climate gradually became warmer and the water trapped in large masses of ice was released.Now the development of advanced sonar (声纳) technology, known as bathymetry, is making it possible to study this flooded landscape in extraordinary detail. A special echosounder is fixed to the bottom of a survey ship and it makes wide sweeps across the seabed. While previous technology has only been able to produce two-dimensional images, bathymetry can now use computers, satellite-positioning equipment and special software to create accurate and remarkably detailed maps. For the first time, an ancient riverbed jumps out of the three-dimensional image. The site of pre-historic settlements can now be pinpointed.According to expert Linda Andrews, this technological development is of huge significance. “We now have the ability to map the seabed as accurately as we can map dry land,” she says.Once bathymetric techniques have identified sites where people might have built their homes and villages, divers can be sent down to investigate further. Robot submarines can also be used, and researchers hope they will find stone tools and wood from houses as proof of human activity. The idea shared by many people in Britain of their country as a natural island kingdom will be challenged by the findings: Britain has been inhabited for about 500,000 years and much of this time it has been linked on and off to continental Europe. It remains to be seen how far this new awareness is taken on board, however.In fact, the use of bathymetry will not be limited to the study of lost landscapes and ancient settlements. It will also be vital in finding ships that have been destroyed in accidents. In addition, commercial applications are a real possibility. Aggregates (骨材) for the construction industry are becoming increasingly expensive, and bathymetry can be used to identify suitable sites for digging for this material. Mapping the seabed will also identify places where rare plants and shellfish are living. Digging at such sites should be prevented, either to work for a profit or to make deeper waterways for massive container ships. 8．What does the underlined word “pinpointed” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Occupied.B．Adjusted.C．Rebuilt.D．Discovered. 9．How does bathymetry work?A．It has an echo sounder placed on the seabed.B．It makes use of a number of different devices.C．It produces two-dimensional images of the sea floor.D．It bases its calculations on the location of construction sites.10．The author believes a better understanding of the settlements on the seabed may________.A．attract investment in the research under the seaB．inspire people to take an interest in modern technologyC．adapt the attitudes of the British to their country’s historyD．receive confirmation of rebuilding ancient man-made objects11．We can learn that the use of bathymetry will help to ________.A．identify new species of plants and animalsB．provide the precise location of sunken shipsC．evaluate the cost of seeking certain resourcesD．promote the development of deeper waterwaysAll across America, students are anxiously finishing their “What I Want To Be …” college application essays, advised to focus on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) by experts and parents who insist that’s the only way to become workforce ready. But two recent studies of workplace success contradict the traditional wisdom about “hard skills”.Google originally set its hiring systems to sort for computer science students with top grades from top science universities. In 2013, Google decided to test its hiring theory by quickly dealing with large amounts hiring, firing, and promotion data collected since the company’s establishment.Project Oxygen shocked everyone by concluding that, among the eight most important qualities of Google’s top employees, STEM capability comes in dead last. The seven top characteristics of success at Google are all soft skills: being a good coach; communicating and listening well; possessing comprehension into others; being supportive of one’s colleagues; being a good critical thinker and problem solver; and being able to make connections across complex ideas.Those characteristics sound more like what one gains as an English or theater major than as a programmer. Could it be that top Google employees were succeeding despite their technical training, not because of it? After bringing in more experts to dive even deeper into the data, the company enlarged its previous hiring practices to include humanities majors, artists, and even the MBAs (Master of Business Administration).Project Aristotle, a study released by Google this past spring, further supports the importance of soft skills even in high-tech environments. Project Aristotle analyzes data oninventive and productive teams. Google takes pride in its A-teams, assembled with top scientists, each with the most specialized knowledge and able to throw down one creative idea after another. Its data analysis revealed, however, that the company’s most important and productive new ideas come from B-teams comprised of employees who don’t always have to be the smartest people in the room.Project Aristotle shows that the best teams at Google exhibit a range of soft skills: equality, generosity, curiosity toward the ideas of your teammates, understanding, and emotional intelligence. And topping the list: emotional safety. To succeed, each and every team member must feel confident speaking up and making mistakes. They must know they are being heard.STEM skills are vital to the world we live in today, but technology alone, as Steve Jobs famously insisted, is not enough. We desperately need those who are educated to the human, cultural, and social as well as the computational.12．Google conducted the studies of workplace success in order to ________. A．determine what makes a workplace-ready studentB．check whether its hiring system serves the purposeC．prove soft skills are more important than hard onesD．impress its competitors with the employees’ excellence13．The underlined word “contradict” most probably means “________”.A．add to B．back up C．bring about D．conflict with 14．What can be inferred from Project Aristotle?A．Emotional safety enables people to express themselves freely.B．Listening and hearing helps develop problem-solving abilities.C．Learning from mistakes doesn’t necessarily mean improvement.D．Those without specialized knowledge can also make inventions.15．Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A．STEM skills our society needs for better educationB．The principal focus students have on application essaysC．The surprising thing Google learned about its employeesD．The soft skills Google programmers lack for career growthface and body send mixed messages? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body?Scientists have recently tackled these questions. They found that when a person is looking at your face, she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows.17 Previously,they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken. For example, most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice, “I’m so excited.”When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language, most scientists suspected that the face was more important. To test if this was true, psychologists showed people a number of pictures of isolated(孤立的)faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out(模糊的)) that showed anger or fear. 18An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips. A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth. 19 A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square, as if ready to defend.These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people. Even when people pay attention to the face, body language subtly(微妙地) influences which emotion they read.20 If you want to be understood, it helps to avoid sending mixed messages.A．Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists.B．So, your body language is important for telling people how you feel.C．Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people.D．An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle, as if ready to fight.E．Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds.F．When you do this, your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them.G．They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodiesPeople from every corner flooded into the streets that Christmas Eve. “Frosty the28．A．empty B．shabby C．warm D．cozy 29．A．hang out B．turn up C．go away D．break in 30．A．unexpected B．paid C．wrapped D．donated 31．A．tired B．nervous C．excited D．depressed 32．A．informed B．reminded C．warned D．introduced 33．A．set up B．set out C．set aside D．set off 34．A．hugging B．bowing C．crossing D．bending 35．A．unforgettable B．unusual C．painful D．religious 36．A．cases B．limits C．losses D．worries 37．A．educated B．satisfied C．handsome D．wealthy 38．A．encouragement B．possibility C．gifts D．hardship 39．A．surprise B．reason C．prize D．praise 40．A．wish B．mention C．enjoy D．value四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、根据首字母或汉语或语境提示补全短文根据所给的首字母或汉语意思，在空白处填入恰当的单词(每空一词)。

She had lived in shelters, in parks, and in motels, never in a permanent residence for more than a few months. She had been laughed at and looked down upon by students at a dozen schools who thought of her as “different”.Homeless since early childhood, Khadijah struggled all her life to hide her circumstances from teachers and fellow students. However, academic achievement proved to be a way for her to find confidence in herself again. For instance, at the age of 9, she placed in the 99th percentile on a state exam, and her teacher told her she was “gifted”. From that moment forward, Khadijah decided to do whatever it took to keep herself in that category. “I was so proud of being smart. I often heard my fellow students say, ‘You got the easy way out because you're homeless,’” she told The LA Times. “But I never saw it as an excuse about living a less successful life.”By the second year of high school, she realized that she could not succeed in getting the education she dreamed of without getting help to go beyond what her current school could offer. She talked to teachers and advisers who helped her apply for summer community college classes, scholarships, and enrichment programs. And in the 11th grade, when she enrolled at Jefferson High School, she decided to complete the rest of her school career there—a decision that meant taking a bus each morning at 4 a.m. and not getting home until 11 p.m.Here's the end of the story—when Khadijah poured the story of her life into her Harvard University college application, she was accepted.4．What makes Khadijah confident in herself?A．Her different personality.B．Her ability to live well alone.C．Her excellent performance in study.D．Her fellow students' encouragement. 5．What do many students think of Khadijah's being homeless?A．It's a really pitiful circumstance.B．It makes her more strong-minded. C．It offers her more ways to succeed.D．It's an excuse about working less hard. 6．What did Khadijah's teachers and advisers help her do?A．Pass a college entrance exam.B．Apply for more advanced education. C．Make a decision to complete high school.D．Become a top student in her current school.7．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A．Twelve Schools Make a Successful StudentB．Being Different Means Having More ChancesC．Khadijah Williams: From Shelters to HarvardD．Khadijah Williams: Inspiration to Homeless PeopleA study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the country's teenage girls has worsened.The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2014 and 2021, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2014. British boys 'stress level was actually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent. The report's authors pointed out the “appearance of the social media age” could be a major contributing factor for increasing stress among teenage British girls.“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive (认知的) and emotional development,” Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a blog post. “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control .Since teenage brains have not completely developed, teens don't have the cognitive awareness and impulse control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be circulated far and wide with disastrous implications.“Social media can also feed into girls' insecurities about their appearance,” Ramsden said. “These sites are often filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them gradually grow into some widely-accepted social standards.”“Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with ‘solutions’ such as extreme dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals,” Ramsden said. “Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities.”8．How does Ramsden show the negative impact of social media on teenagers?A．By making experiments.B．By raising a question.C．By making comparisons.D．By analyzing cause and effect. 9．What is Ramsden's attitude toward the images with fine body shape? A．Supportive.B．Indifferent.C．Critical.D．Concerned 10．The underlined word “circulated” probably means “________”.A．spread B．promoted C．maintained D．advertised 11．According to the text, the author may agree that teenagers in BritainA．have already rid themselves of the destructive effects of social media.B．can't tell the right from the wrong for their lack of cognitive awareness.C．are extremely concerned about their body image due to some unwritten social rules. D．should adopt the most efficient and popular approaches posted online by celebritiesWe use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions. Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands.Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive processes, which allowed Pepper to search for. relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text-to speech processor. It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task, “With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is,” says Chella.The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette(礼仪) rules theyhad programmed into the robot. Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper’s ability to do what was instructed.When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech coabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given. It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correet action. When told it was, Pepper said “OK, I prefer to follow your desire,” and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork.When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn’t perform the task or explain why.With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations, says Sarah Sebo at the University of Chicago. “It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots,” she says.However, this experiment only used a single human participant, says Sebo. “It’s unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants,” she says. 12．Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph?A．To introduce the topic.B．To provide background information. C．To give an example.D．To arouse readers’ interest.13．How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled? A．It failed to complete the task.B．It obeyed the etiquette rules.C．It made a random decision.D．It communicated with the researchers. 14．What did Sarah Sebo think of the research?A．It was creative but worthless in daily life.B．It was a meaningful try but the result was a failure.C．It was inspiring but needed further evidence.D．It was perfectly designed but poorly performed.15．Which of the following is the best title for the text?A．Robot Taught To Be Polite To Humans as Programmed B．Robot Able To Explain Its Decision-making ProcessC．Robot Making Decisions Faces Great Challenges D．Robot-Human Communication: Soon to Be Realized二、七选五Is there a link between social media and depression? Do social media have a negative impact on your mental health? It’s complicated.In a recent study, the investigators compared social media use and depression between teens.___16___Specifically, for every hour per day that one teen spent on social media more than her peers, she likely had a 0.64 point higher depression score.A different study published in 2018 identified five distinct types of social media users. The finding was that "problematic social media use" was one of the main themes for people whose mental health was affected by social media. You can have alcohol in your life without it being a problem, or your alcohol use may become problematic. ___17___ There's one important thing to remember about survey research just because two things happen together, it's not necessarily true that one causes the other. ___18___For all we know, it could be that people who are already more depressed choose to spend more time on social media.___19___If you think that we shouldn't paint social media with one broad brush, you're on the right track. On the one hand, participants often described social media as a valuable way to cope with stress. On the other hand, cyberbullying via social media was also a common experience for participants. Some also said that constantly checking their own social media profile was stressful.It’s certainly possible that experiences like cyberbullying, comparing yourself to idealized images, and constantly monitoring your profile, are bad for your mood. It's also true for many that social media offer community support and positive messages. Given the inconclusive research, it's safe to say that at least we shouldn't write off social media altogether. ___20___Anyway, you cannot use it as a crutch for coping with other stressors and mental health problems.A．It's the same with social media.B．Social media can be a double-edged sword.C．People get more opinionated about the potential problems of social media.D．They found that those who used social media more had higher depression scores. E．They reviewed all existing research and found that there were both benefits anddrawbacks.F．The key to benefiting from social media may lie in using it in moderation and staying socially connected.G．For example, just because higher social media use co-occurs with higher levels of depression doesn't mean social media use causes depression.三、完形填空I come from one of those families where you have to yell at the dinner table to get in a word. Everyone has a strong ____21____ and talks at the same time, and no one has a____22____ leading to heated arguments. We often talk or even debate with each other on different topics. ____23____ a family like mine has made me more ____24____ about the world around me, making me tend to raise questions about anything that anyone tells me.

I mean the kind of listening where you find yourself deeply ____27____ with the person you’re speaking with, when his story becomes so ____28____ that your world becomes less about you and more about him. No, I was never very good at that.I spent summer in South Aftica two years ago. I worked for a good non-profit____29____ called Noah, which works _____30_____ for children affected by AIDS. But_____31_____ you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I’d tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I _____32_____ , but mostly listened.And bad I not spent two months _____33_____, I might have missed the _____34_____ moment when a quiet little girl at one of Noah’s community centers, orphaned（孤儿）at the age of three, whispered after a long _____35_____ “I love you.”_____36_____ that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their_____37_____ and nod and respond at the _____38_____ time—but most of the time I was _____39_____ about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it’s in those moments when my mouth is closed and my_____40_____ is wide open that I’ve learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself.21．A．qualification B．influence C．opinion D．consumption22．A．devotion B．problem C．schedule D．request 23．A．Belonging to B．Believing in C．Bringing up D．Struggling for 24．A．anxious B．curious C．nervous D．adventurous 25．A．objecting B．appealing C．turning D．referring 26．A．rudely B．loudly C．politely D．gratefully 27．A．identifying B．quarreling C．debating D．competing 28．A．vivid B．magical C．mind-numbing D．time-consuming 29．A．school B．organization C．factory D．church 30．A．effortlessly B．hopelessly C．aimlessly D．tirelessly 31．A．unless B．because C．although D．if 32．A．applauded B．spoke C．wept D．complained 33．A．studying B．traveling C．listening D．working 34．A．touching B．frustrating C．astonishing D．entertaining 35．A．delay B．course C．journey D．silence 36．A．Before B．After C．Except D．Since 37．A．needs B．stories C．comments D．cases 38．A．valuable B．precious C．proper D．accurate 39．A．talking B．arguing C．learning D．thinking 40．A．sympathy B．spirit C．mind D．family四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
