广西壮族自治区百色市德保高中2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解The Best Restaurants in ChicagoSummer has arrived and where to eat in Chicago? This collection of Chicago’s best restaurants provides answers to the classic question.Luella’s Southern Kitchen TEL (773) 961-8196This restaurant serves some of the city’s best Southern food, including shrimp, fried chicken and waffles. This restaurant on the North Side is also a popular brunch destination. It’s a casual spot with counter ordering, but it brings a serious menu where everyone can find something hearty.Community Tavern TEL (773) 283-6080Nowadays, the restaurant has expanded its menu away from its origins as a neighborhood steakhouse. But fortunately, the neighborhood aspect remains. The bar program is rich, and kids under 12 eat free on certain days. The menu keeps innovating, which isn’t a bad thing. For example, there’s a section of Asian-style dumplings, including one stuffed with mushroom butter.Smoque BBQ TEL (773) 545-7427With two smokers to prepare St. Louis- style roast meat, this destination in the Northwest Side neighborhood of Irving Park delivers barbecue in the styles of Kansas City and Memphis.

Pat’s Pizza has a storied history of popularizing thin-crust pizza. This family-owned spot proudly makes some of the crispiest, thinnest pizzas around. Pat’s uses its own sausage, which also helps set its flavor apart.

The Mississippi teacher said she’s lost about 150 pounds since 2008, and has fulfilled a longtime dream — to run and finish the New York City(NYC) Marathon. “It was a dream that came true. I’ve been wanting to do it for 12 years,” Barnes said. Barnes has come a long way over the past decade. At one point, she weighed nearly 300 pounds. “I did have a big setback around 2018, but I got myself together and persevered (坚持不懈) and got with it again,” she said.Running has been an essential part for Barnes. She has so far run many half marathons and four full marathons. “I can say my life is definitely better, not only for getting mentally and physically healthy but for meeting incredible people along,” Barnes said of her experience with running.Although it wasn’t her first marathon, Barnes said the NYC Marathon was still a challenging run. At mile 18, she said she started having “sharp back spasms (痉挛)”, but despite it all, she would not exchange the experience for anything. “The goal might not be exactly what you want, but you will persevere through it and try your best to reach the end goal.” In the end, Barnes completed the NYC Marathon with a final time of 6 hours, 58 minutes and 53 seconds.“I credit everyone for my achievements. The crowds are simply amazing. And I’m also inspired by the people I’ve encountered. Believe in yourself that you can do it, and start with small achievable and measurable goals. Find something you like to do and something that inspires and motivates you,” she said.Today, Barnes runs about five days a week and does both strength and cross training. She plans on running again soon, setting her sights on a half marathon in Arizona next February and running in all 50 states with her husband. She and her husband also hope to run the NYCMarathon together next year.4．What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A．Barnes managed to lose weight via surgery.B．Barnes has overcome setbacks in her life.C．Barnes has fulfilled her long-standing wish.D．Barnes has suffered a lot over the last 15 years.5．What does Barnes try to convey in the second paragraph?A．She benefits a lot from running.B．She has been mentally cured.C．She has run a lot of marathons in her life.D．She wants to make friends through running. 6．What do we know about Barnes’ participation in the NYC Marathon?A．She highly treasured the experience.B．She finished it with the best record.C．She completed it without difficulty.D．She considered it the most challenging. 7．Which of the following can best describe Barnes?A．Demanding but patient.B．Stubborn but friendly.C．Warm-hearted and optimistic.D．Strong-willed and ambitious.Australia Day, on 26 January, is in memory of the day in 1788 when Captain Arthur Phillip, commander of the First Fleet of 11 British ships, arrived at Sydney Cove to mark the birth of the colony (殖民). Every year, many in this nation of 24 million people gather on beaches and around barbeques to celebrate. From boats competitions, camel races, to outdoor concerts, Australians mark a public holiday more popularly treated as a late summer festival than the serious national day its founders intended it to be — a unifying celebration of the good fortune of being Australian and the values that unite the nation: freedom, independence, a fair go, mateship.However, not all Australians feel the same about the day. Recently there has been much controversy over the correctness of celebrating on this date. Native Australians, in particular, have long referred to this date as "Invasion (入侵) Day" or "National Day of Mourning (哀悼)" in protest of the arrival of the British peoples. They mourn their ancestors who suffered and died during colonization. There has even been a growing push to change the date of the national celebration, a move popular with younger Australians but less so with older generations.In response to the protests, the Australian government has recognized the traditional ownersof the lands on which Australia Day activities take place, in the hope that Australians from all backgrounds come together to celebrate Australia as a multicultural society. "Our desire is that Australia Day is a time for inclusion, as well as an opportunity for greater understanding," one officer from The Australian Department of Communications and the Arts said.8．What is the original purpose of Australia Day?A．To observe a late summer festival.B．To honor the arrival of the British.C．To celebrate national identity and values.D．To mourn the natives who suffered during colonization.9．What does the underlined word “controversy” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A．Debate.B．Defence.C．Faith.D．Puzzle. 10．What did the British probably do to the native Australians after their arrival?A．They mourned the suffering of native Australians.B．They recognized native Australians’ independence.C．They protested against native Australians’ ownership of the land.D．They brought loss of life and hardship among native Australians.11．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．More Australia Day activities will be organized.B．The date of Australia Day will soon be changed.C．The protests of changing the date have already been settled.D．Australia Day should be celebrated with understanding and respect.It is not just the environment and the economy that are threatened by a warmer climate, but also culture and traditions around the world. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have mapped what little is known about how climate change is gradually destroying local knowledge and cultural heritage.“We risk losing the memory of native people’s ways of life without this type of documentation,” says Guy Jackson at Lund University, one of the authors of a literature study. One conclusion of the study is that cultural heritage is primarily seen as something of material value, such as a historic building, and the loss is seen as a potential future problem, even thoughthere is evidence that it is already happening.Focusing on material losses means that important traditions and knowledge systems are overlooked. “There are also many non-material losses that are valuable for both individual identity and group identity,” says Guy Jackson.The study shows a clear connection between loss of native cultural heritage and changes in the natural environment. For example, songs and working methods change when groups lose traditions linked to a physical location. One scientific article points out that identity is closely linked to the environment, “ Inuit people (因纽特人) in Canada are people of sea ice. If there is no. more sea ice, how can they be people of sea ice?”Loss of traditions and cultural heritage can make it more difficult to deal with climate change, and weaken social togetherness, as people lose touch with traditional ways of life. It also raises the question whether we can expect native people to protect and preserve rainforests and other ecosystems.The researchers hope that the literature study can read to more targeted research. They want to see a larger focus on how to handle, minimize and tackle future losses. “Science should contribute by developing practical solutions and strategies that help with adaptation to the losses that have already happened,” Guy Jackson concludes.12．What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?A．Climate change causes cultural loss.B．The economy affects the environment.C．Cultural loss is a current problem.D．The native people are being forgotten. 13．What does the study show about the loss of native cultural heritage?A．It is seriously overestimated by scientists.B．It has brought great damage toCanadians.C．It has transformed global working methods.D．It is closely related to environmental changes.14．What is paragraph 5 mainly about concerning the loss of traditions and cultural heritage?A．Its natural origins.B．Its negative results.C．Its potential reasons.D．Its effective solutions.15．What is the main idea of the text?A．The unknown threats to the local knowledge.B．The practical solutions to some cultural issues.C．The climate change’s effect on culture and traditions.D．The various losses of important culture and traditions.Whether you’re heading out for a day trip or a quick weekend getaway (短期休假), we will share some travel tips in this guide to help you make your experience more enjoyable.·Think about how you want to travel.16 Sometimes it means the most enjoyable. Too much consideration on short journeys is not worth it. If you’ve got a preference for a certain means of transport, it’s often worth traveling that way for short distances, even if it ends up taking you a little longer.· 17Some cities, like NYC, are quite walkable. Others simply aren’t. In Amsterdam, the best way to get about is by bike — whether you use the city’s shared bikes or rent one from your hotel. In Southeast Asia, you’d better rent a scooter (小型摩托车). 18 So don’t bother to find the so-called one-size-fits-all answer.·Try all the available options.If you’ re not sure about the best means of transport for you, experience them all. See what catching the subway is like, try cycling or riding the bus. It’s hard to predict what will be the most convenient. LA has a low- cost public transport network but car-pooling is cheaper, and scooters are the best for getting around West Hollywood. 19·Don’t rely on map apps.Map apps are useful, but they don’t take into account the possibility of packed subways, queues for taxis and the heat of a train in summer. 20 So don’t assume something is a 30-minute drive just because a map app says so — by the time you’ve driven halfway, you might still have another 30 minutes to go.A．Don’t limit your choices.B．It takes time to find the best.C．Study the city you will travel to.D．You won’t know until you try them all.E．What works here might not work there.F．The best doesn’t necessarily mean the fastest.G．Besides, they are a bit behind the real traffic time.二、完形填空After plates were filled, I announced a new dinnertime practice.

For teachers, this is great news. For many kids, it’s less welcome. Parents, meanwhile, are conflicted, caught between wanting their children to learn without distraction(分心)and worried about the loss of the constant and easy communication to which they’ve grown used.Smartphones undoubtedly hold back students’ attention to solving for x or close reading a Shakespearean poem. A 2023 study by Common Sense Media revealed that teens check their phones more than 100 times a day on average. On top of the hundreds of notifications lighting up screens and interrupting class lectures, teens now spend 4.8 hours on social media each day. The relationship between screen exposure(使用屏幕)and mental well-being remains unclear, but some studies suggest there is cause for concern.Yet many parents remain careful of banning phones during the school day. They are afraidthat doing so would cut communication between them and their children —not only when they want to organize pickups or drop-offs but also in the event of an emergency.Schools have managed to function without smartphones for centuries. For concerned parents, equipping their children with traditional cellphones, these days dubbed “dumbphones,” might be the best option; schools might consider whether selective (选择性的) phone bans that permit such devices could work. Or parents could get even more old-fashioned and simply call their school’s office when necessary.The next question for schools is how to ban cellphones. A popular option is requiring the use of magnetic (有磁性的) bags that lock in the morning and unlock when the final bell rings, or in the event of an emergency.When smartphone bans are done right, they can make a big difference. At Bethlehem Central High School near Albany, N.Y., for example, academic progress has improved since applying a ban last fall. Students are less distracted and more tuned into learning. Parents have even said they’re surprised at the success of the newly phone-free school.4．What does the underlined word “conflicted” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Not knowing what to do.B．Very happy with sth.C．Not good at some things.D．Worried about sth.5．What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?A．How to learn Shakespeare’s plays and poems in school.B．Screen exposure does make people mentally unhealthy.C．Heavy usage of smartphones seriously affect students.D．Students in USA love phones more than ones in China.6．What schools can do for concerned parents?A．Ban the parents’ own smartphones.B．Selectively ban some students’ phones.C．Allow students carry dumbphones.D．Encourage them to shout outside window.7．Why is Bethlehem Central High School mentioned in the last paragraph?A．Students there are allowed to use smartphones.B．To show smartphone bans are beneficial.C．Parents there are less distracted and surprised.D．Just to praise the school’s achievements.Profits at Netflix have increased as the world’s largest streaming (在线播放) service added millions of subscribers (订户).The entertainment giant added 9.3 million new viewers in the latest quarter — more than expected by analysts on Wall Street — leaving it with a record 269.6 million worldwide."We’re off to a good start in 2024,” the company said. Its shares (股票) dropped 2% yesterday, however, after rising by almost a third since January.Profits at Netflix rose 15% to $9.4bn (£7.7bn) in the three months to 31 March. Net income (净收入) jumped 79% to $2.3bn over the same period.Netflix pioneered the streaming revolution. Hollywood’s established giants, from Disney to Warner Bros, are still struggling to catch up and turn a profit on their own competitor digital services.A growth in subscribers early in the pandemic paused in 2022 as limits were lifted. But shares in Netflix have increased over the past two years as it shored up growth by forbidding password-sharing and introducing a cheaper level of its service, with advertisements.Netflix has also broadened to live events, including coverage of World Wrestling Entertainment, and videogaming.In a letter to investors on Wednesday night, the company announced it would stop reporting how many members it has from next year.As it has regained momentum (发展势头) following its post-pandemic growth struggles, Netflix has been trying to direct Wall Street’s focus away from its subscriber growth numbers，arguing that other financial things including sales were more important.Forecasting sales growth of up to 15% this year, the company said to achieve “healthy” long-term growth it will need to “improve the variety and quality” of movies, shows and games on its platform; make it easier for users to find new series; and build its ad-funded level into a “more meaningful contributor” to its business.8．What do we know about Netflix?A．Its net income jumped 15% to $2. 3bn.B．It has 9. 3 million subscribers in the world.C．Its profits rose by $9. 4bn in the first quarter.D．It is the biggest streaming service worldwide.9．Why did the company say “We’re off to a good start in 2024”?A．It pioneered the great streaming change in the first 3 months.B．Its growth in subscribers paused after the limits were lifted.C．It gained more subscribers and more profits in the first quarter.D．Its shares dropped 2% yesterday after falling by almost a third.10．Why does the company plan to stop reporting how many subscribers it has?A．It has reported wrong numbers in the past years.B．It is addicted to videogaming and hurting its users.C．It lost so many users in the first 3 months worldwide.D．It wants to highlight its more important financial parts.11．What will Netflix do according to the last paragraph?A．It will improve the variety and quality of their products.B．It wants to make it easier to find more new profits.C．It has to make sales grow up to 15% during this quarter.D．It intends to achieve unhealthy long term growth.Good news for lazy gardeners: one labour-saving change could almost double the number of butterflies in your garden, according to a new scientific study — let the grass grow long.Now an analyses of six years of butterfly sightings across 600 British gardens has provided evidence that wilder lawns increase numbers.The benefits of leaving areas of grass long were most obvious in gardens within intensively (密集) farmed landscapes, with up to 93% more butterflies found and a greater range of species. Gardens with long grass in urban areas showed an 18% increase.“We wanted to be able to give tried and tested gardening advice that will benefit butterflies, as we know lots of people want to help,” said Dr Richard Fox, the head of science at Butterfly Conservation and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.“This study proves, for the first time, that allowing a patch of grass to grow long will attractmore butterflies into your garden,” he said.According to the study, long grass in gardens attracts more butterfly species whose caterpillars feed on grasses. Fox said this suggested the lift in population was not simply because long grass provided more nectar (花蜜) from wildflowers within it, but because butterflies were seeking or actually breeding (繁殖) in rewilded lawns.Fox said: “What people are doing with long grass in gardens is creating potential or actual breeding habitat. In order to make an impact on the bio-diversity crisis we need to be creating places where butterflies and other wildlife can breed.”If you have a patch of long grass you may have grasshoppers, beetles and ant hills as well — there will be all these spin-offs (派生物).” He added.12．What do we know about the study?A．The researchers viewed 600 Americans gardens.B．Only more butterflies were found in the gardens.C．Dr. Richard Fox alone completed the research.D．It proves wilder lawns attracts more butterflies.13．Why do more butterfly species go to wilder fields?A．They can eat caterpillars on the long grass.B．Wild flowers create a beautiful environment.C．Butterflies will easily breed babies there.D．Wild grass can itself provide sweet nectar.14．Which is the most suitable title for the passage?A．Long grass brings more butterflies.B．Lazy gardeners have a good harvest.C．More sighting of butterflies in cities.D．A good labour-saving change in factory.15．What do Fox’s words mean in the last two paragraphs?A．If you are lazy, your vegetables will be eaten by insects.B．The effortless change helps solve the bio-diversity crisis.C．We should protect just butterflies instead of other wildlife.D．Ants and grasshoppers are less important than butterflies.KEEP IT SECURE (安全)All apps collect data as you use them. Following these four steps will help ensure you’re not oversharing,For starters, download apps only from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, not from random (随机的) websites. 16Before you accept an app’s terms and conditions, look at what information it’s planning to collect. 17 For example, why would a gaming app need access to your text messages? Also, most apps don’t need to know your location, but for those that do, you can choose to enable location services only when using the particular app, another smart privacy safeguard.Sign up using an e-mail address you’ve set up just for things like app permissions and e-mail news-letters. 18 This way, if there is a security breach (漏洞), your exposure is controlled to things connected to an unimportant address.19 It means a long one (at least ten characters) with a mixture of letters, numbers, and special characters-and, sorry, a unique password for each app. According to security experts, a good trick is to create a memorable “passphrase” by creating a series of random words, and then substitute (以…替换) numbers or special characters (i.e., @ for a) for some of the letters. 20 Go ahead and write them down—just store your cheat sheet (备忘纸条) in a secure location (not your wallet or phone case!). Or enlist a password manager such as 1 Password or LastPass. A．Use a secure password.B．The websites are secure.C．These letters are very useful.D．Don’t use your main e-mail address.E．How will you ever remember them all?F．Think twice if it’s asking for too many permissions.G．These apps meet the major companies quality standards.二、完形填空Wait a Minute, Mr PostmanI wanted to repaint a graffiti (涂鸦)-tagged U.S. Postal Service mailbox.

Firstly, what confuses me most is the proper use of tenses. I often mix up tenses, leading to low scores on my writings, What’s more, I s truggle to find appropriate wordsto express myself accurately. Despite my massive efforts to expand my vocabulary, words still fail me when I need to write. In addition, I find it difficult to make my writing well-structured and coherent, which frustrates me a lot.I’d appreciate it if you could give me some practical suggestions on my problems. Looking forward to your reply.Yours,Li Hua第二节(满分25分)Before I knew it, I had only one day left for the project. In a panic I quickly glued together whatever materials I could find, my hands shaking with the weight of each hasty decision. The finished result looked miserable. However, several of my classmates, including Nate, had created amazingly detailed buildings. They used materials like clay, wood and so on and their constructions were highly praised by Mr. Smith. When I saw their models, I felt even more embarrassed about mine. It was apparent that they had put a lot more time into the assignment than I had.That taught me a great lesson. I learned from that day the importance of deciding on my priorities and budgeting my time. From then on, I tackled things a lot earlier instead of putting things off until tomorrow. As a result, not only did I finish my tasks ontime, but I also felt better because I didn’t have to panic at the last minute. At the end of the semester, my work was chosen by Mr. Smith on another occasion. Seeing my change, my parents and my sister were so proud of me. It dawned on me that getting things done on time instead of being a procrastinator really counted.听力录音稿Text 1M: Do you have any idea what’s wrong with my houseplant It gets plenty of sun and enough plant food...W: Are you watering it too often Remember this plant comes from the desert where there’s hardly any rain.M: Ah..Maybe that’s the problem!Text 2M: It seems to be human nature to pursue what we don’t have. Tall people want to be shorter, and short people want to be taller... W: I know. For example, when I was younger, my cousin always wanted my golden hair, and I wanted dark hair like hers.Text 3W: Hi, are there any tickets left for tonight’s concertM: Sorry, they’re sold out. But I can put you on the waiting list, in case there are any cancellations tonight. Would you like me to do thatW: Oh, yes, please. Let me give you my phone number.Text 4M: Oh, this is so annoying! We’ve been driving around for ages, and I haven’t seen a single space.W: There’s a street party going on in town today. That’s probably why it’s busy. Let’s try the supermarket... You can park there for free as long as you buy something.Text 5W: So, tell me a little bit about the character you played in your new film Last Weekend.M: Well, Jake is a sort of the ‘everyman’ character.

Hey, what’s wrong with your screen It’s all dark and the colors look strange.W: Oh! I’ve been using an app called “Sunset” to help me sleep at night.M: Really HowW: Well, studies show that too much blue light from screens can make sleeping difficult. So, in the evenings, the app puts a red filter (滤光器) over the screen to cancel it out.M: Oh, interesting. Does it helpW: Yeah, I think so! I also listen to white noise, which helps me fall asleep too.Text 7M: Can we do something about the temperature in here I have so many emails to deal with today, but my hands are so cold that I can hardly type my report!W: I know. I’ve been struggling too. But the heat probably won’t be turned on until the end of the month.M: Why notW: It’s a part of the company’s plans to save energy.M: Well, I can understand that. But how are we supposed to work in these conditionsW: I guess we always have the choice to work from home.M: True. But before my youngest daughter starts school, it’s just too difficult for me to do that. I wouldn’t be able to focus.W: Then I think we should talk to the boss about what can be done, otherwise people will start getting ill.Text 8W: Well, here we are! I can’t wait to get inside and see what’s on offer!M: I heard this year’s Mini Fair is going to be even bigger and better than last year’s.

So, why are you changing schoolsM: Well, my mom got a new job in this area, so we’re moving here. I’ve heard good things about this place.W: Well, as you can see, we have some great facilities... Here are the basketball courts. Then just behind them, you’ll see the football field and the running track. And that building over there is our swimming pool.M: Wow! There wasn’t room for anything like this at my previous school. I was on the swimming team, but we had to travel to use the city pool for our practices.W: Well, we’ve certainly got plenty of space. The arts teaching here is also excellent. We have a music studio and our own theater. M: Amazing!W: So, where would you like to go firstM: Well, I’m quite interested to see the science facilities. I’m hoping for a career in medicine.W: Okay, great! Well, the laboratories have all been updatedrecently, so we’ve got some really good equipment. Follow me. Text 10On my recent business trip to Shanghai, I met up with a local friend who took me out for a very interesting evening meal. At the Community AI Canteen, everything is done by robots. When you walk in there, you place your order on a screen. Using robotic arms, the intelligent cooking system then cooks your food before packing it up... It even adjusts the temperature, depending on whether you want to eat it straight away or take it home with you! To pay, you place your food on a smart cash desk, which immediately calculates (计算) the cost. There’s even a 24-hour noodle machine just outside, which offers hot and fresh food around the clock. The canteen offers a huge amount of choices and the dishes taste great. It is really fun to get “a taste of the future”. However, I’m not sure I would like all restaurants to be run by robots. I can see the benefits for busy families or office workers needing a quick lunch, but what about lonely older people who would miss the human touch I do think we will see more places like this in the future, though. At best, a human waiter can serve around 100 people in a day. The AI system can serve double that figure, making it good for business.荆州中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题命题人：审题人：（全卷满分150分考试时间120分钟）第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分)第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分)听下面5段对话。

Philip introduced me to him, Stephen, and reminded me that Stephen would be taking one of my classes.Stephen looked at me. With a somewhat painful expression, he asked if my class was going to be hard and if he would be able to pass. I introduced all the things that he would be expected to learn. As we talked, I saw Stephen’s eyes getting big with fear.I told him to do all of his assignments, and to hand them in on time. Rather than being overwhelmed (压倒) by all of the work, I told him the most successful students made a mastercalendar of all the assignments so they could plan their workload.As the fall semester went on, I learned more of Stephen’s story. It had taken him longer to finish the assignments than most young people. Family members, including his mother, kept reminding him that he was a failure. But he kept at it and didn’t take them to heart. He told me that before coming to our college, no one believed he could manage it.Stephen didn’t become an A student. However, he managed to pass most of his courses by being in class every day, turning in all of his assignments on time and breaking down his studying into bite-sized parts. By passing course after course, he began to gain a measure of self-confidence.On his graduation day, he walked up to me, and said, “Thank you.”4. According to Stephen’s questions to the author, what do we know about StephenA. He had never been an A student.B. He didn’t want to attend the author’s class.C.

Look before you leap.C. Haste makes waste.D. A good beginning is half done.CNot long ago, people could only buy organic food in small shops. Today it is common in most major supermarkets. The reason for the increase is that more and more people are demanding food grown without chemicals. Since the 1990s, organic farm production has gone up continuously. This pattern is expected to continue around the globe.Australia leads the world in land used for organic agriculture. It has four times as much land devoted to organic farming as all of Asia. However, most of the land is not very fertile, and it only produces a modest amount of food. Argentina is a distant second, followed by Brazil, the United States and China. In Africa, only a very small amount of land is registered for organic farming. That does not mean Africa relies on chemicals. In fact, many farmers do not use chemicals because they cannot afford them. Yet there are no programmes for these farmers to prove they do not use chemicals. Without these programmes, their food can never be approved organic.India has had the most dramatic recent increase in organic farming. Like many other countries, India sees continual growth in organic food sales around the world. This, of course, leads to growth in profits. Sales of organic food were more than doubled from 2000 to 2005. Like India, many countries are trying to increase commercial organic farming to get a share of the sales. This has led to criticism. Some people believe that organic farming should not just be about making money. They think the goal is to help the environment. Others say organic farming will not continue if it is not profitable. They say that people should be able to make money whileproviding healthy food for mankind.8. What is the passage mainly aboutA. Organic farming is growing around the world.B. Organic food has become much less common.C. People do not want to eat food with chemicals in it.D. Countries all want to make money from organic farming9. From the second paragraph, we can know thatA. India uses the least land to organic farmingB. Brazil uses less land to organic farming than ChinaC. the US is the fourth largest organic farming countryD. China and India have the same amount of organic farmland10. Why do people want to increase organic farmingA. Organic food is good for the Earth and the human beings.B. More and more people demand chemicals to grow food.C. There are fewer chemicals available to the human beings.D. Profits from organic farming help make approval programmes.11. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.A. people who eat food with chemicals have shorter lifespanB. India will soon become the largest country of growing organic foodC. more countries will farm organically as the environment getsworseD. there will be fewer organic farms if the demand for organic food goes downDImagine a team of humans and robots working together to process online orders. Real-life workers strategically positioned among their automated coworkers who are moving intelligently back and forth in a warehouse (仓库) space, picking items for shipping to the customer.This could become a reality sooner or later thanks to researchers at the University of Missouri, who are working to speed up the online delivery process by developing a software model designed to make transport robots smarter.“The robotic technology already exists,” said Sharan Srinivas, who spec ializes in data analytics and operations research. “Our goal is to best apply this technology through efficient planning. To do this, we’re asking questions like ‘given a list of items to pick, how do you optimize (优化) the route plan for the human pickers and robots ’ or ‘how many items should a robot pick in a given tour ’ Likewise, we have a similar set of questions for the human worker. The most challenging part is optimizing the collaboration plan between the human pickers and robots.”Currently, a lot of human effort and labor costs’ are involved with fulfilling online orders. To help optimize this process, robotic companies have already developed cooperative robots, also known as cobots or autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), to work in a warehouse or distribution center. AMRs are equipped with sensors and cameras to help them navigate (确定方向) around a controlled space like a warehouse. Srinivas said, “The robot is intelligent, so if it’s instructed to go to a particular location, it can navigate the warehouse and not hit any workers or other obstacles along the way. AMRs are not designed to replace human workers, but instead can work cooperatively alongside them to help increase the efficiency of the order fulfillment process.”“The one drawback is that thes e robots do not have good grasping abilities,” said Srinivas. “But humans are good at grasping items, so we are trying to balance the strength of both resources.”12. What does the underlined word “collaboration” in paragraph 3 meanA. Technology.B. Cooperation.C. Exploration.D. Similarity.13. What is the function of the sensors equipped on AMRsA. To look cool.B. To sense warnings.C. To direct AMRs’ way.D. To find human workers.14. What are AMRs bad atA. Jumping.B. Climbing.C. Walking.D. Holding.15. Which can be the best title for the textA. The Simple Use of RobotsB. Warehouse Workers and RobotsC. Making Transport Robots SmarterD. Transport Robots Invented by Sharan第二节根据短文内容, 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。

Come will continue to provide museum guides as we have been doing it for years, which intends to enhance people’s understanding and attention to museums.

Originally Hislop desired to be a lawyer, but her father rejected paying law school tuition (学费) because he didn’t support women lawyers. Therefore, Teaching was the next best choice for Hislop with the help of her grandmother and aunt. She enrolled at Stanford in 1936, earning her bachelor’s (学士) degree in education four years later.It’s worth noting that even if she had received her degree, many school systems wouldn’t have hired her as a married woman. Not until the 1964 Civil Rights Act were these “marriage bars” that allowed for schools to not hire wives, and even fire teachers who got married after hiring, completely done away with. Gender (性别) inequality may have put a hold on her career, but they led to her becoming a powerful advocate for all students.Hislop worked to improve educational opportunities for all students, believing everyone should have access to higher education if they desired. Her efforts contributed to transforming Yakima Valley College from a junior college to an independent institution awarding associates, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees. This was achieved through her work with local and state legislators and the Community College Act of 1967. Hislop also served on boards of various education and arts-focused organizations.“I didn’t return to teaching, but I feel I put my teaching certificate to good use serving in committees and on boards and trying to improve educational opportunities every chance I got,” Hislop says. At 105, Hislop remains an active community member. Her son-in-law Doug Jensen notes, “The biggest lesson I’ve taken from her is that you never really stop learning. She’s a reader with a strong thirst for knowledge, and at 105 she’s still energetically moving and shaking.”4．What made Hislop choose teaching?A．Financial difficulties of her family.B．Family responsibilities.C．Her interest in education.D．Her father’s refusal of tuition.5．What can we know about the society when Hislop was young?A．Women faced many limits on career.B．Lawyer was the best job choice.C．Education was open to everyone.D．Men and women had equal chances. 6．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Hislop’s political ambitions.B．Hislop’s plan to build educational equality.C．Hislop’s desire to change education policies.D．Hislop’s efforts and contribution in education.7．Which of the following can best describe Hislop?A．Determined and devoted.B．Energetic and humorous.C．Wise but indecisive.D．Courageous but impatient.A popular nature park called the lees Railway Land Local Nature Reserve, was damaged by over use. Many of the park’s native wild flowers and grasses had disappeared after decades of use. “It was a degraded(退化的) woodland,” aid Dylan Walker, a wildlife manager in lees. “We weren’t seeing any plants coming up. People were loving our city nature reserve to death.”In March, dog owners were surprised when they saw an unusual offer: They could bring in their dogs and let them run free in the reserve, as long as the pumps would wear backpacks while playing. The Railway Land Wildlife Trust decided that using dogs would be a simple way to scatter(撒) native wild flower and grass seeds from the backpacks, which had small holes in them. As the dogs raced around and played, the seeds would drop from the backpacks in areas that humans couldn’t easily reach on the 25- acre reserve.Walker said he’d seen a story about two sisters in chide who had used their three dogs to scatter seeds in areas destroyed by wild fires. “We looked at that and thought it was a brilliant idea,” Walker said. “We also thought it was a good way to share how wolves once walked around the UK and picked up seeds on their fur, which were then dropped in other places.”Five months later, people in the lees area are beginning to see the dogs’ forts work. Small green shoots are appearing all over the forest floor. “It was a great pleasure to watch the dogs running around, especially in out-of-reach places that we couldn’t get into,” he said. “The dogscovered four times the distance that a human walker could do.” The restoration(恢复) project was a fun way to allow dogs to run off lash. Walker said, “We’re going to try it again this fall, and we hope to keep it going for a couple of years.”8．What happened to the Nature Reserve in lees according to paragraph 1?A．It was closed to the public.B．It had too many wild animals.C．It was over crowded with visitors.D．It suffered losses in some native plant species. 9．How did the Wildlife Trust carry out their seed-scattering plan?A．By hiring professional gardeners.B．By using small planes to spread seeds.C．By organizing volunteer planting events.D．By employing dogs with special backpacks. 10．What can be inferred about the seed-scattering project from the last paragraph?A．It has shown promising results.B．It has failed to meet expectations.C．It has caused unexpected problems.D．It has completely restored the park. 11．What would be the best title for the text?A．The Reduction of England’s City ParksB．Dogs Are Helping Restore a Nature ReserveC．Novel Gardening technique in Wildlife ManagementD．Balancing Recreation and Conservation in Nature ReservesMothers whose parents help out with child care are more likely to show their children parental warmth than mothers who do not receive any support, according to a study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore(NTU Singapore)and published in a journal.According to the NTU Singapore-led study, which analyzed data from 615 mother-child pairs in the Growing Up in Singapore Towards healthy Out comes(GUSTO)study, mothers of children aged 4 and a half said they used less frequent authoritarian (专制的) parenting styled when the child’s maternal grandparents stepped in to help. When their children were 6, mothers who had been supported by their own parents also reported using more positive parenting styled, which is characterized by warmth, responsiveness, and a friendly home environment. Interestingly, the study did not find evidence to support a connection between support from other types of care giving arrangements — paternal grandparents, both maternal and paternal grandparents, or domestic helpers — and the above-mentioned positive parenting approaches in mothers.Associate Professor Set oh, who is also the Director of NTU’s Early Cognition Lab, said, “While maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, and domestic helpers may all provide instrumental assistance and emotional encouragement when it comes to child care duties, our study found that child care support from maternal grandparents was the most beneficial.” This finding supports the idea introduced in earlier research that maternal grandparents are in a unique position to provide support in a manner most aligned with the needs of mothers, possibly due to shared valued and easiness of communication.While the study was done in Singapore, the research team said the findings that tell maternal grand parental support from paternal grand parental support could be relevant across Asian countries, where grand parental involvement in child care is considered a cultural expectation. The research team added that it would also be interesting and meaningful to examine whether the benefits of maternal grand parenting reach adolescence and early adult hood to influence the family’s life tracks.12．What do we know about the mothers of children aged four and a half?A．They used less controlling parenting styled with the aid of their mothers.B．They received financial support from their mothers.C．They expected to work in senior positions.D．They did some housework alone regularly.13．How many kinds of assistance in caring for children were mentioned according to the text?A．Two.B．Three.C．Four.D．Five.14．What does the underlined phrase “maligned with” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A．Dealt with.B．Agreed with.C．Started with.D．Varied with. 15．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A．The future arrangements of the study.B．The social meaning of high-quality child care.C．The significance of the study in other situations.D．The details of grand parentalinvolvement in child care.It’s normal to face math anxiety.

内蒙古自治区鄂尔多斯市达拉特旗第一中学2024-2025学年高二上学期9月月考英语试题一、阅读理解Famous People Who Begin With DifficultiesOprah WinfreyProbably having one of the most famous success stories, Oprah was born into a poor family in Mississippi, raised by a single mother living on welfare. She was physically, and mentally abused during her childhood. Despite her initial struggles as a young girl, she turned herself into one of the most successful talk show hosts of our time.Jim CarreyJim Carrey has been the star of some of the most successful movies of all time. But Carrey grew up extremely poor in Canada. When he was a teenager, his family took security jobs in a factory to help pay the bills. And during his first stand-up comedy performance, he was booed off （喝倒彩）the stage. Not shortly after, he made it big on In Living Color and then went on to star in Dumb & Dumber, The Mask, and Ace V entura in the same year!James DysonIf you thought Thomas Edison’s failures were bad, let me introduce you to James Dyson, the famous inventor of the Dyson vacuums （真空吸尘器）you see all over the television. Dyson developed over 5,000 failed prototypes （原型）before finding the bagless vacuum brand. Not only that, he put his entire savings account into his prototypes over fifteen years! Luckily, the bagless vacuum worked.Stephen KingBefore Stephen King became known as a great living writer—having written over 60 novels, many of which have been adapted for film and television—King was rejected over and over again. In his memoir, On Writing, King describes how he used to post his rejection letters on the wall for inspiration. His first novel, Carrie, was rejected 30 times.1．What do Oprah and Jim have in common?A．They were abused by parents.B．They grew up in poor families.C．They were hired as comedians.D．They found jobs in a factory.2．What did James Dyson do?A．He repaired the failed prototypes.B．He developed over 5,000 brands.C．He put all efforts into marketing.D．He invented the bagless vacuum.3．Who is a novelist?A．Oprah Winfrey.B．Stephen King.C．James Dyson.D．Jim Carrey.For 18 years, I’ve feared the yearly event of writing a “vision statement (愿景宣言)” for our son, Ethan. He has autism (自闭症). In theory, the vision statement is a lovely idea — an opportunity for parents to express the future they plan for their child five years down the road. In reality, as Ethan grew up and his limitations became clearer, I found it harder every year to write the short paragraph.This year, as Ethan completed his final year in the school system, we signed Ethan up to work at a local farm that employs young adults with disabilities assuming it would go the way he always has. He’d be interested at first, then bored, and then — because he was bored — silly and unsafe around the equipment in a way that would get him removed from the program. It was his pattern and if there’s anything we’ve learned, autistic kids love repeating their patterns.Surprisingly, after a year, we were told he’d made it onto a landscaping team. “What do you do in the team?” we asked. Eth an listed a few machines we assumed he was watching other people operate. We’ve lived with Ethan for 21 years. We know his limitations.At our last meeting for the vision statement, a man from the farm read a report on Ethan. Ethan was operating those machines, safely and effectively, along with the final line: “Ethan makes us laugh every day.” I could hardly believe it.Ethan wrote his own vision statement this year. He read it aloud:“I plan to work at Prospect Meadow Farm until I retire and live. at home with my family as long as I can. My goals for the future are to learn how to drive a lawn mower (割草机).”I had tears in my eyes. Not simply because Ethan had made his own entirely reasonable vision statement, but because it involved the part of his present life that brings him joy. After years of making up visions for a future we never honestly thought possible, Ethan was offering one that was both hopeful and extremely simple: I want my life to keep looking the way it does NOW.4．How did the author feel about writing a vision statement for her son?A．It was difficult.B．It was boring.C．It was annoying.D．It was embarrassing.5．Why does the author mention Ethan’s pattern in paragraph 2?A．To show her concern for Ethan’s safety.B．To show her familiarity with autistic kids.C．To show her low expectations for Ethan’s farm job.D．To show her special responsibility as Ethan’s parent.6．How did Ethan behave on the farm?A．He went beyond his limits.B．He made silly mistakes.C．He liked watching others working.D．He could hardly get along with others.7．Which statement will the author probably agree with?A．Success is built on failure.B．Never lose faith in your high goals.C．Family support helps to develop confidence.D．The future should look like the best parts of the present.The Wuyishan National Park, known for its amazing landscapes and respected tea industry, has taken significant steps to safeguard its traditional tea heritage and industry, while using technological advances to raise the incomes of local people.Home to one of China’s largest and most diverse subtropical forests, Wuyi Mountain is the only place in the country where Wuyi rock tea is grown. In the 18th century, Wuyi rock tea was the most popular tea in Europe. However, illegal land reclamation (开垦) of tea mountains and the destruction of plant resources damaged the environment in the area around Wuyi Mountain.Then the Wuyishan National Park was established in 2021, as one of the first bat ch of China’s national parks. The park authorities have cooperated with tea experts to make up a strategy for the improvement of the Wuyi Mountain tea industry and biodiversity.“In order to better protect the forest, we must respect and preserve the existing areas for thelocals to plant and live on, but further expansion has been restricted.” said Huang Zhimin, a researcher with the park’s management bureau.Eco-friendly plantations that use the “tea forest” and “tea grass” models have been introduced to the park. Moreover, the authorities provide farmers with free seedlings (幼苗) of precious broad-leaved trees like nanmu. This practice not only protects local biodiversity, but also improves the quality of the tea.The Wuyishan National Park’s authorities have been working with tea experts to improve production and quality through the use of innovative technological methods. A local farmer said: “In the past, we lacked knowledge of scientific tea field management, which resulted in teas of average quality that were only suitable for basic daily consumption. Now, with the help of scientific approaches, the quality of our teas has risen significantly.”8．What was the Wuyishan National Park intended for?A．To attract more tourists to come here.B．To examine innovative technological methods.C．To arouse the awareness of protecting the biodiversity.D．To promote the eco - environment and tea quality.9．What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 5 mean?A．Asking the authorities for help.B．Decreasing land reclamation of tea mountains.C．Using eco-friendly plantations.D．Growing all the broad-leaved trees.10．What can be inferred according to the local farmer?A．They benefit a lot from the tourism of the national park.B．The quality of their teas are much better than before.C．The scientific approaches make no difference to them.D．Their knowledge of tea field management is the best.11．Where is the text most probably taken from?A．A novel.B．A medical book.C．A tourist brochure.D．A magazine.In a small, rough shipyard on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, a small team is building what they say will be the world’s largest ocean-going clean cargo ship.Ceiba is the first ship built by Sailcargo, a company trying to prove that zero-carbon shipping is possible, and commercially available. Made largely of wood, Ceiba combines both very old and very new technology: sailing masts stand alongside solar panels, a uniquely designed electric engine and batteries. Once on the water, she will be capable of crossing oceans entirely without the use of fossil fuels, which sets her apart.“The thing that is striking is the fact that she’ll have one of the largest marine electric engines of her kind in the world,” Danielle Doggett said. The system also has the means to capture energy from underwater propellers (螺旋桨) as well as solar power, so electricity will be available for the engine when needed. “Really, the only limit on how long she can stay at sea is water and food on board for the crew.”Despite some hold-ups due to the global disaster, the team hopes to get her on the water by the end of 2024 and operating by 2025, when she will begin transporting cargo between Costa Rica and Canada.“There are actually loads of innovations happening that could transform shipping emissions, but few companies are willing to apply them to building ships like Ceiba.” says Lucy Gilliam. “So it’s not that we don’t have great ideas. The problem that we have is that fossil fuels are still too cheap. And we don’t have the rules to force people to take up the new technology.”When it comes to promoting this kind of boat, it has to be said that Ceiba is small for a cargo ship — tiny in fact. She will carry around nine standard shipping containers. She is also relatively slow. Being a world-first, there are some aspects of Ceiba’s design that have yet to be proven at sea.12．What is unique about Ceiba as a cargo ship?A．It is the world’s largest.B．It is environment-friendly.C．It is wooden with old technology.D．It is modern with unique equipment. 13．What determines Ceiba’s length of staying at sea according to Danielle Doggett?A．The size of the sail.B．The weather of the ocean.C．The power of the electric engine.D．The quantity of the living supplies. 14．Why are companies unwilling to build ships like Ceiba?A．The rules are disobeyed.B．The fuels are affordable.C．The bigger ships are preferable.D．The innovations are distrusted.15．What is the author’s attitude to the innovation of Ceiba?A．Objective.B．Doubtful.C．Critical.D．Favorable.Attending a concert is an activity appealing to many.

About a 50-minute drive from downtown Shangri-La, the park contains three main parts: Shudu Lake Scenic Area, Bitahai Lake Scenic Area, and Militang Alpine Pasture. You can reach them by the tourist bus from the park entrance.Traveling around the park can be quite relaxing if you take the bus to see each scenic area one by one. Wooden boardwalks along the lakes allow you an easy walk as you take in the beautiful lake views and the surrounding mountain scenery. Or you can take a boat trip on the lakes for a more relaxing scenic experience.If you want more of a challenge, there are also some short hiking routes in the park.

You will see beautiful river views alongside the path.Route two: Shudu Lake North Shore Pier to Tibetan Culture Experience Area—about 3 km, taking about 1.5 hours.

I visited many tourist attractions there, and I also saw many unfortunate citizens on the street, like beggars and homeless folks.Standing outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art, I heard a voice ask, "Can you do me a favor " When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended out. Naturally, I reached into my pocket for some change immediately and placed it in her hand without even looking at her. I was really annoyed at being bothered by a beggar. What I only thought at that moment was to send her away.But the blind woman said with a warm smile on her face, "I don't want your money. I just need you to show me the way to the subway entrance."In an instant, I realized what I had done just now. Her unexpected words took me by surprise and shame. I had acted with prejudice—I'd judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be. I felt ashamed of myself and couldn't face the old woman anymore. And I felt smallbeside her.The incident reminded me that I believed in being humble, even though I had lost that belief for a moment. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in the U. S. at the age of 15. Through the years, I have experienced many acts of prejudice.I remember a time at the age of 17 when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to go. It is the blind woman who cured me of my blindness.24、What did the author think the blind woman wanted at frst sightA. To ask for directions.B. To offer him some helpC. To demand some donations.D. To borrow money from him.25、Why did the author feel ashamedA. He had a prejudice on the woman.B. He couldn't face the woman.C. He was judged by his appearance.D. He was an immigrant himself.26、Why did the author mention his experience as a busboyA. To indicate he led a miserable lifeB. To tell he didn't work hard at schoolC. To prove he used to be a humble man.D. To show he used to be unfairly judged.27、What is the best title for the textA. Be Considerate-Always Minding Your WordsB. Be Humble-Always Dropping Your PrejudiceC. Be Generous-Always Helping Those in NeedD. Be Aggressive-Always Having a Big DreamCThe drone（无人机）is flying above the Amazon River in Brazil, but its battery is running low. Andre Coelho, the chief pilot, guides it back to safety with skills perfected by playing video games. Long hours' practicing has become a surprising benefit in an effort to conserve dolphins that live in the river. Marcelo Oliveira, a conservation specialist, stands on the bow of a boat. He pulls the white drone from the air, changes the battery, and quickly sends it back in the sky.Later, scientists will examine the video which has recorded for signs of the two species of dolphins that inhabit the river: the pink and bulbous boto（亚马孙河豚）, and the smaller, prettier tucuxi（白海豚）. Exactly how many live in the basin is a mystery. Some studies have suggested a decline of the pink dolphins in specific areas of the Amazon River, but the International Union for Conservation of Nature（IUCN）says there isn't enough data available for either species of dolphins."We need to base everything on hard data," says Miriam Marmontel, ascientist. "We need to focus on what's really critical to help us get to a real situation that can influence policy. We need numbers. We need information on death and reproduction.Marmontel's biggest concern is that dolphins are being caught in the nets of local fishermen. Scientists have also given a warning against fishermen's killing botos. Pollution from gold mining is also a concern. The scientists want to use the information they collect to persuade the IUCN to list the boto and the tucuxi as endangered species. Funding agencies and governments want evidence. Without the IUCN's categorization, it's difficult to raise the money for protection measures. They hope their drone monitoring will do the trick. During three trips to the Amazon last year, the team has recorded about 70 samples（样本）that will contribute to a more accurate estimate of dolphin populations in the Amazon basin.28、What are Coelho and Oliveira doing in the Amazon RiverA. Testing the drone they designed for fun.B. Recording the video of the flowing river.C. Collecting data on dolphins with a drone.D. Playing a video game29、What can make Miriam Marmontel worry most according to the textA. The fishermen's living conditions.B. The money for protection measures.C. he pollution from the gold mining.D. The dolphins being caught by fishermen.30、What is the purpose of the drone monitoringA. To raise money to protect the Amazon basin.B. To find evidence for the need to take measuresC To urge governments to record Amazon species.D. To get an exact number of species in the Amazon.31、What is the author's attitude to the drone monitoring in the textA. Indifferent.B. NegativeC. Approving.D. Unclear.DA small robot that can change its shape and produce heat shows potential in targeting cancer cells and preventing internal bleeding. It can also be used for delivering drugs directly to tumors（肿瘤）or inaccessible areas within the human body.Researchers, led by Ren Hao Soon at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, developed a centimeter-sized robot inspired by pangolins（穿山甲）. It is constructed with so and magnetic（磁性的）materials, allowing the robot to change its shape. To enable movement, shape shifting, and heat generation, the researchers applied magnetic fields to the robot's metal parts. By adjusting the frequency of these fields, the robot was able to heat up and give out heat into its surroundings. The team observed that therobot's body temperature could be over 70℃.In addition, the researchers used the robot's heat to deliver substances within a simulated（模拟的）stomach environment. They attached something simulating medicine capsules onto the robot, which dissolved upon heating, thereby releasing the goods. This technique holds promise for targeted drug delivery inside the body.Soon, his team also tested the robot's ability to halt bleeding. They created wounds using a dead pig's stomach. By pumping blood through a small incision using a syringe, they simulated bleeding. Subsequently, the robot extended and covered the area, giving out heat to help stop bleeding.According to Jake Abbott from the University of Utah, the robot could potentially be employed for targeted destruction of tumor cells, reducing the need for exposing large amounts of tissue to radiation or chemicals. By raising the robot's temperature to a level unsafe for normal cells and keeping it in place for a few minutes, cancer cells can be killed. Abbott emphasizes the high temperature sensitivity of the human body.32、What can we infer about the small robotA. It has been put into use.B. It is mainly used to deliver goods.C. It draws inspiration from the natural world.D. It can't be used without adding hard elements.33、How do the researchers make the robot change shapeA. By using heat.B. By using magnets.C. By using radiation.D. By using chemicals.34、What does the underlined word "halt" in paragraph 5 meanA. Stop.B. Challenge.C. Evaluate.D. Explore.35、Which can be the best title for the textA. A Tiny Robot Will Be Used In MedicineB. Scientists Will Make Robots Give Out HeatC. A Small Robot Was Made To Deliver GoodsD. Doctors Have Used Tiny Robots To Cure Tumors第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）If you need to interview someone for an article but you have never interviewed before, it can be frightening.
