2018届高三第五次月考测试卷英语第一部分：选择题（共70分）一、阅读理解:（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others often. We try every way to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong d o we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty four years of driving. I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlig hts, I was saying to other drivers, “I have a problem here. I am weak and doing the best I can.” And everyone understoo d. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.21. The author has discovered that people will feel happy when ______.A. they offer their helpB. they receive others’ helpC. they feel others’ kindnessD. they show their weakness22. The author feels sad sometimes because ______.A. he has a soft heartB. he relies much on othersC. some people pretend to be kindD. some people fail to see the kindness in others23. What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights?A. They speed up to pass.B. They waited with patience.C. They tried their best to help.D. They put on their flashlights too.24. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.A. handle problems by ourselvesB. accept help from othersC. admit our weaknessD. show our bravery25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Wheelchair Experience.B. Weakness and Kindness.C. Weakness and StrengthD. A Driving ExperienceB.The website "FarmersOnly. com" calls itself “an online dating and friendship finder. ”The idea started in the mind of a man, Jerry Miller in Ohio. He wondered how farmers could meet new people who understand the life of a farmer. Jerry Miller is not a farmer but he represents a lot of farmers.As he tells it, the idea for the site was planted when a farmer told him one day that she was recently divorced and would like to date. But someone would invite her to meet for coffee at nine o’clock at night, when she had to start her day at five the next morning.So, in 2005, Jerry Miller launched his website. "You don’t have to be a farmer to be on "FarmersOnly. com". But you do have to have the good old-fashioned traditional values of America’s heartland. You also have to live in the United States or Canada to be a member of the site. ”Some services are free, but a full membership costs fifty dollars for a year. As of last week the site listed more than 58,000 members. Many of them are farmers in the United States.Others are students or workers involved in some way with agriculture. Jerry Miller tells us about thirty marriages in the last year have resulted from his website.Some farmers have also found love through a group, “Singles in Agriculture”, which was formed as a nonprofit organization in 1986. It organizes gatherings that usually end with a dance, but is not a dating service. The purpose is to support educational and social activities that offer people a chance for friendship. Its website, "", says there are more than l,000 members across the nation and as far away as France.26. Jerry Miller started "" in order to_____________.A. help farmersB. support traditionsC. understand farmersD. represent farmers27. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 indicate?A.

It provides dating services.C. Only farmers can become its members.D. Farmers in France can’t benefit from it.29. The author of the text intends to_________________.A. advertise for the two websitesB. introduce two websitesC. encourage social activitiesD. urge readers to help farmers30. It can be inferred from the text that______________________.A. all farmers desire marriageB. farmers are easy to meet new peopleC. more farmers get divorced in the USAD. the Internet helps improve farmers’social lifeC.What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science?We all know that science plays an important role in our societies. However, many people believe that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first aspect is the application of the machines, products and systems of knowledge that scientists andtechnologists develop. The second is the application of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is curious - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually pays attention to problems which he notices have no satisfying explanation, and looks for relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and uses the facts he observes to the fullest. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱).He does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available. He rejects authority as the only basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively.Furthermore, he does not readily accept his own idea, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is full of imagination since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. He needs imagination if he wants to guess how processes work and how events take place.These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.31. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through_________A. knowledge only.B. more than one aspect.C. technology only.D. the use of machines.32. Which of the following statements about a curious scientist is TRUE?A. He doesn’t find confidence and pleasure in work.B. He is interested in problems that are explained.C. He makes efforts to investigate potential connections.D. He looks for new ways of acting.33. According to the passage, a successful scientist would NOT_______________.A. easily believe in unchecked statements.B. easily criticize others' research work.C. always use his imagination in work.D. always use evidence from observation.34. Which word can be used to describe the data that a good scientist uses?A. completeB. objectiveC. complicatedD. accurate35. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. Application of technology.B. Progress in modem society.C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.D. How to become a successful scientist.DWhat is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 36 . Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 37 . If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.38 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 39 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀）than any other bridge in the area ----until it was repainted green . The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.40 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.A.On the other hand, black is depressing.B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up---weare born with our preference.C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people andexcitement.E.Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.F.Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.G.Colors do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it.二: 完型填空: ( 共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30分)I was having a bad week.

Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene. One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, analienthough: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It does n’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---- and that thought now controlled his life.Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling. Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.【小题1】Judging from the passenger, the meaning of the underlined word “alien” in Paragraph 3 is ______.A．disappointingB．suddenC．newD．strange【小题2】What finally happened to Alan?A．He was moved to another room.B．He died.C．He switched his bed with Henry.D．He was very sick.【小题3】Henry, who had his bed switched, had expected _____.A．to see the blank wallB．to feel the joy of seeing the outside worldC．to feel the joy of breathing fresh airD．to see more than Alan【小题4】Which of following words could be used to describe Alan?A．Kind-hearted and imaginativeB．Well-informed and humorousC．Talkative and funnyD．Cold-hearted and indifferent10.Carter was saying all the right things, but his smile was __________, and I knew I couldn't trust him.A．preferentialB．artificialC．confidentialD．beneficial11.Can you imagine that a smart man like him ___________ make such a stupid mistake?A．mightB．shouldC．wouldD．need12.—I’ve just heard that the lecture to be given by the Nobel winner has been cancelled. — Oh, no! ______.A．It’s wonderfulB．It doesn’t matterC．I have no ideaD．I was looking forward to that13.The New York Times published an article recently that shows great regret for the "death of conversation"．It suggests that while technology such as cell phones, e-mails, and Internet posting makes us feel more 36 than ever, they’re also driving us 37 from people around us．Users get final connectivity 38 the price of 39 face-to-face conversation. Sherry Turkle, author of the article in The New York Times says people are 40 to a different way of being “alone together”．Actually , 41 text messages or writing micro-blogs allows us to 42 thoughts.43 bits and pieces of online cannot 44 a “real conversation．” Lan Gu o, 19, a freshman English major from Changsha University , said that she would like to hear people’s tone of voice and see their faces in a (n) 45. “The give and take of ideas in a conversation sharpens our minds.” she said. She also mentions that 46 ourselves in mobile technology reduces our chance of starting conversations with strangersand 47 people．Turkle mentioned the popular 48 of “I share, therefore I am ”among this generation. Liu Xuan, a young writer from Taiwan and psychology graduate from Harvard University, thinks it’s a mindset adopted by most young people. They are so busy creating or polishing their online persona (网络人格)that they forget how to live a (n) 49 life. For example, They may 50 more about blogging about attending a party rather than enjoying being 51.52, experts remind us that it’s unfair to blame mobile technology . Chen Chen, a sociology expert at China Youth &Children Research Center, points out that it is still owners of gadgets , such as cell phones and tablets , who’re avoid ing personal 53.

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do?Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents’ complete unreasonableness.And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely.Both feel trapped.In this article. I’ll describe three no-win situations that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap. The first no-win situation is quarrels over unimportant things. Examples include the color of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right, It doesn’t matter what the topic is –politics. The taws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg –the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong. for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something — and therefore to command respect. Unfortunately, as long as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they’ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.【小题1】Why does the author compare the parent-teen war to a border conflict? A．Both can continue for generations.B．Both are about where to draw the lineC．Neither has any clear winnerD．Neither can be put to an end【小题2】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 mean?A．The teens blame their parents for starting the conflict.B．The teens agree with their parents on the cause of the conflictC．The teens cause their parents of misleading themD．The teens tend to have a full understanding of their parents【小题3】Parents and teens want to be right because they want to ________. A．give orders to the otherB．know more than the otherC．gain respect from the otherD．get the other to behave properly【小题4】What will the author most probably discuss in the paragraph that follows? A．Causes for the parent –teen conflictsB．Examples of the parent –teen war.C．Solutions for the parent –teen problemsD．Future of the parent-teen relationship第1卷参考答案一.参考题库1.参考答案：B试题分析：动词辨析。

安徽省池州市贵池区池州市第一中学2022-2023学年高三下学期4月月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解The Biggest Stadiums in the WorldPeople have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 8 A．D．, the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.These days, safety regulations—not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and a comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities (容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.● Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang, D．P.R-Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1, 1989.● Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U.S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.● Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U.S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.● Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U.S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7, 1922.● Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U.S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.1．How many people could the Circus Maximus hold?A．104,944.B．107,601.C．About 150,000.D．About 250,000. 2．Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest?A．Michigan Stadium.B．Rome’s Circus Maximus.C．Ohio Stadium.D．Kyle Field.3．The capacity of today’s stadiums is a bit lower because ______.A．no soccer fans don’t want to go there B．people like to stand to watch the match C．greater attention is paid to the fans’ safety D．architects are better at designing smaller stadiumsWho is a genius? This question has greatly interested humankind for centuries.Let’s state clearly: Einstein was a genius. His face is almost the international symbol for genius. But we want to go beyond one man and explore the nature of genius itself. Why is it that some people are so much more intelligent or creative than the rest of us? And who are they?In the sciences and arts, those praised as geniuses were most often white men, of European origin. Perhaps this is not a surprise. It’s said that history is written by the victors, and those victors set the standards for admission to the genius club. When contributions were made by geniuses outside the club—women, or people of a different color or belief — they were unacknowledged and rejected by others.A study recently published by Science found that as young as age six, girls are less likely than boys to say that members of their gender (性别) are “really, really smart.” Even worse, the study found that girls act on that belief. Around age six they start to avoid activities said to be for children who are “really, really smart.” Can our planet afford to have any great thinkers become discouraged and give up? It doesn’t take a genius to know the answer: absolutely not.Here’s the good news. In a wired world with constant global communication, we’re all positioned to see flashes of genius wherever they appear. And the more we look, the more we will see that social factors (因素) like gender, race, and class do not determine the appearance of genius. As a writer says, future geniuses come from those with “intelligence, creativity, perseverance (毅力), and simple good fortune, who are able to change the world.”4．What’s the author’s attitude towards victors’ standards for joining the genius club?A．Positive.B．Objective.C．Skeptical.D．Unclear.5．What can we infer about girls from the study in Science?A．They think themselves smart.B．They look up to great thinkers.C．They see gender differences earlier than boys.D．They are likely to be influenced by social beliefs.6．Why are more geniuses known to the public?A．Because of improved global communication.B．Because of less discrimination against women.C．Because of acceptance of victors’ concepts.D．Because of changes in people’s social positions.7．What is the best title for the text?A．Geniuses Think Alike B．Genius and the Future WorldC．Genius and Intelligence D．Genius May Belong to DifferentCategoriesCan a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts.By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safetyproblems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.8．What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible?A．Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes.B．Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas.C．The reduction of cost in designing drones.D．The use of drones in checking on power lines.9．The underlined word “maintenance” in Paragraph 3 refer to ______.A．personnel safety B．assistance from dronesC．construction of infrastructure D．inspection and repair10．What function is expected of the rail drones?A．To provide early warning.B．To make trains run automatically.C．To earn profits for the crews.D．To accelerate transportation.11．The text mainly tells us ______.A．what faults can be detected with drones B．how production of drones can beexpandedC．what difficulty drone development will face D．how drones will change the future of railwaysWe are the products of evolution, and not just evolution that occurred billions of years ago. As scientists look deeper into our genes (基因), they are finding examples of human evolution in just the past few thousand years. People in Ethiopian highlands have adapted to living at high altitudes. Cattle-raising people in East Africa and northern Europe have gained a mutation (突变) that helps them digest milk as adults.On Thursday in an article published in Cell, a team of researchers reported a new kind of adaptation—not to air or to food, but to the ocean. A group of sea-dwelling people in Southeast Asia have evolved into better divers. The Bajau, as these people are known, number in the hundreds of thousands in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. They havetraditionally lived on houseboats; in recent times, they’ve also built houses on stilts (支柱) in coastal waters. “They are simply a stranger to the land,” said Rodney C．Jubilado, a University of Hawaii researcher who studies the Bajau.Dr. Jubilado first met the Bajau while growing up on Samal Island in the Philippines. They made a living as divers, spearfishing or harvesting shellfish. “We were so amazed that they could stay underwater much longer than we local islanders,” Dr. Jubilado said. “I could see them actually walking under the sea.”In 2015, Melissa Ilardo, then a graduate student in genetics at the University of Copenhagen, heard about the Bajau. She wondered if centuries of diving could have led to the evolution of physical characteristics that made the task easier for them. It seemed like the perfect chance for natural selection to act on a population,” said Dr. Ilardo. She also said there were likely a number of other genes that help the Bajau dive.12．What does the author want to tell us by the examples in Paragraph 1?A．Environmental adaptation of cattle raisers.B．New knowledge of humanevolution.C．Recent findings of human origin.D．Significance of food selection. 13．Where do the Bajau build their houses?A．On the beach.B．Near rivers.C．Off the coast.D．In valleys. 14．Why was the young Jubilado astonished at the Bajau?A．They could walk on stilts all day.B．They had a superb way of fishing.C．They could stay long underwater.D．They lived on both land and water. 15．In which section of a newspaper can this text appear?A．Entertainment B．Science C．Health D．Sport二、七选五A Few Tips for Self-AcceptanceWe all want it... to accept and love ourselves. 16 Where do you start? Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction.● Stop comparing yourself with others. Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough. 17 Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs? Know that your life is your own; you are the only youin this world.● 18 We are often ashamed of our shortcomings, our mistakes and our failures. Remember, you are only human. You will make mistakes, time and time again. Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better, why not offer yourself a compassionate (有同情心) response? “That didn’t go as planned. But, I tried my best.”● Recognize all of your strengths. Write them down in a journal. Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness. List all of your accomplishments and achievements.19 Nothing is too small to celebrate.● Now that you’ve listed your strengths, list your imperfections. Turn the page in your journal. Put into words why you feel unworthy, and why you don’t feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself. 20 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?A．But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.B．Feeling upset again?C．You have a job, earned your degree, and you got out of bed today.D．Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.E．Why do you follow them?F．Set an intention for self-acceptance.G．When does the comparison game start?三、完形填空Sometimes one plus one does equal three.

Once, we camped along Chalk Creek. I was worried that our 15-month-old boy would fall into the creek (小溪). I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot. That lasted about ten minutes. He was uncomfortable, and his crying let the whole campground know it. So instead of 39 (tie) him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It worked—he didn’t end up in the creek. My three-year-old, however, did.Another time, we rented 40 boat in a Lake. The sky was clear when we headed off, 41 storms move in fast in the mountains, and this one quickly interrupted our 42 (peace) morning trip. The wind picked up and thunder rolled. My husband stopped fishing 43 (start) the motor. Nothing. He tried again. No luck. We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor. As we all sat there 44 (helpless), a fisherman pulled up, 45 (throw) us a rope and towed (拖) us back. We were safe.Now, every year when my husband pulls our camper out of the garage, we are filled with a sense of excitement, wondering what camping fun and adventure we will experience next.五、建议信46．池州日报创刊五十周年之际，向广大读者征求增加栏目的建议。

安徽省六安市第一中学2018届高三上学期第五次月考英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择A very beautiful town Bravuogn in Switzerland has banned（禁止）tourists from taking photos in order to get holiday makers to take a break from social media（媒体）.The tourist office of Bravuogn announced the news on Facebook on Tuesday. “It is proven that beautiful vacation photos on social media make the viewers unhappy, because they themselves cannot be there,” the tourist office said. Tourists will be punis hed with 5 Swiss Francs if they are caught taking pictures under the new rule. Many people considered the move was stupid and strange with some joking that they were going to call off their trips to Bravuogn. However, others gave the photo ban a thumbs-up. “Exactly right!” one person shouted.The announcement comes after a study found how technology is marring our travel experiences. In a survey of 1,037 American adults done by Wyndham Vacation Rentals, almost half of them said social media negatively influenced their trips as they felt stressed to pose all the time.A message on the Bravuogn tourism Facebook page states that the main reason for the ban on taking photos is to encourage a happier holidaying environment. In the summer, Bravuogn is a popular pl ace for hiking while in the winter it’s a top place for skiing. The tourist office said it had known that the new law would not make everyone happy but it wanted a “special way” to draw people’s attention to the village and the beauty of Switzerland.Facin g some people’s suggestions, the village’s director of tourism Marc-Andrea Barandun said that, in part, the ban is a marketing strategy（营销策略）. He told Thelocal.ch, “We hope everyone talks about Bravuogn’s beauty. So we made the law and also there’s some ma rketing purpose behind it.”1．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．Not all people support the new law.B．Vacation photos bring unhappiness to people.C．People think a fine of 5 Swiss Francs is too much.D．The new law makes many people give up their trips.2．What does the underlined word “marring” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Destroying. B．Improving.C．Recording. D．Sharing.3．Which of the following can best describe the new law?A．Facts are facts. B．Better late than never.C．All roads lead to Rome. D．Kill two birds with one stone.Imagine you’re playing a computer game that asks you to design a poster for the school fair. You’re playing with letters, changing background colors and deciding what activity to feature.Then, animal characters—maybe a panda—offer feedbacks on you design. You can choose whether to hear a praise or a complaint: “The words are overlapping（重叠）too much,” or, “I like that you put in the dates.” You can use their critiques（批评）as guides to help you revise your poster. Finally, you get to see how many tickets your poster sold.This little Web-based game isn’t just a game. It’s a test, too. Most kids likes video games—a lot more than they like taking test.Schwartz is among a new group of researchers who are working on a series of video games. They’re designed to evaluate students on factors that traditional test can’t assess. He wants to measure how students learn, how they make decisions and how they respond to feedback.Scholars like James Paul Gee believe video games actually come much closer to capturing the learning process in action than traditional tests. In fact, in a video game, “you’re always being tested—you can’t get out of a level until you finish it.”And, the researchers point out, at the same time you’re playing a g ame, the game can record your actions. When it’s over, the software can create a report: not just a record of right and wrong answers, but all the steps you took to get there.Schwartz’s theory of assessment focuses on choice. He argues that the final goal of education is to create independent thinkers who make good decisions. And so we need assessments that test how students think, not what they happen to know at a given moment.For example, the real point of the school-fair game is not test how good students are at graphic design. Instead, the bottom of the game comes when students choose to hear comments on their work. “So they’re not just measures of what the student already knows, but attempts to measure whether they are prepared to continue learning wh en they’re no longer told exactlywhat to do.”4．While designing a poster, you are advised to ________.A．make your own decisions in designingB．play with animal character for funC．change background colors constantlyD．seek negative feedbacks to improve your design.5．The school-fair game is designed to judge ________.A．if students are skilled at graphic design.B．what students know about a poster already.C．whether students are addicted to playing games.D．how independently students think in making decisions.6．According to Gee, making tests more like games is to ________.A．make taking tests more acceptable.B．come close to the learning process.C．get kids to adapt to tests easily.D．have kids challenge themselves.7．The main idea of the passage is about ________.A．tests that get feedbacks from game players.B．tests that are designed for playing games.C．tests that have different levels like games.D．tests that look like video games.Watching the Northern Lights（北极光）shining on the sky’s natural canvas may be on your list already, but be prepared to up the money.A developer is creating a floating, snowflaked - shaped（雪花形状的）glass hotel from which guests can stare in fear at the Northern Lights from their beds. The project is called Krystall. Eighty –six luxury rooms will be covered within a glass structure alongside conference rooms and a spa, all of which is only accessible by boat.The stationery hotel will be built near in northern Norway reportedly between bays. It will be constructed, in pieces, in dry docks（码头）, before being fit together on location.Explaining the physics and design of the hotel, Koen Olthuis, Dutch architect and founder of Waterstudio, a specialist in floating structures, said: “The floating base is very big andbecause of that also very stable. You will not notice any movement. Different to any vessel this hotel is a floating building and will not move. The shape provides most of the stability but cables（缆绳）are used to take away any speed.”“Same look and feel as a land base d hotel but then on the most beautiful spot on the water. The hotel is not connected to land so all the things will be provided by boats.”According to Mr Olthuis, who wouldn’t tell the actual cost of the project, the budget is 15 percent more than it would have been if it were built on land. He said that an important thing to the hotel’s construction was for its creation to be “scarless” on the perfect environment surrounding it.“We call it a scarless development. If you take it away after a hundred years or so it will not leave any physical footprint. That is the only way to bring developments to such a valuable and beautiful marine environment in Norway.”It is hoped that the hotel will be “self-supporting and sustainable” using top of the range technolo gy, helping to support the “growing eco-tourism market.”“Dutch Docklands has learned to live with the water instead of fighting it,” the firm states. “Floating houses are common in the Netherlands but we took that technology abroad and scale it up in size.”8．According to the text, Krystall is stable because ________.A．it is linked to the land with cables. B．it is fixed together on location.C．it is built in the form of snow flakes. D．it has the same look as any vessel. 9．While building Krystall, waterstudio concerns most about ________.A．how to keep it existing for a hundred years.B．how to cause no damage to each piece.C．how to build it with a lot less money.D．how to make it environmentally friendly.10．What Mr Olthuis said in the last paragraph implies that ________.A．The Dutch developed a sense of adapting to nature.B．eco-tourism is a growing market in the Netherlands.C．it needs technology to build floating houses.D．it is common to see house floating on water.11．What is the main idea of the passage?A．Build a floating house to live in.B．View the Northern Lights in a floating hotel.C．Live with water in a glass hotel in Norway.D．Use the Northern Lights in a glass hotel.A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology finds that older and younger people have varying preferences about what they would want a personal robot to look like. And they change their minds based on what the robot is supposed to do.Participants were shown a series of photos portraying either robotic, human or mixed human-robot faces and were asked to select the one that they would prefer for their robot’s appearance. Most college-aged adults in the study preferred a robotic appearance. However nearly 60 percent of older adults said they would want a robot with a human face, and only 6 percent of them chose one with a mixed human-robot appearance. But the preferences in both are groups were different when participants were told the robot was assisting with personal care, chores, social interaction or for helping to make decisions.Preferences were less strong for helping with chores, although the majority of older and younger participants chose a robot with a robotic face. But for decision-making tasks, such as getting advice for where to invest money, younger participants tended to select a mixed human-robot appearance. A robotic face was their least favored choice for this task. Older adults generally preferred a human face.Personal care tasks such as bathing provoked the most divisive preferences within both age groups. Those who chose a human face did so because they associated the robot with human-like care capabilities—such as nursing and trustworthy traits（特点）.
