Taylor, Amber and their girls Finley, 6,and Sadie, 4, soon woke up and came downstairs, too. “Well, it was dark so we couldn't see anything, only could hear Marley,” Amber recalled, saying her husband then went for the lights. “And once he turned the hall light on, we realized that the guy was holed up in the corner trying to hide.”“So I think he got to the front door and realized he couldn't get out, and by that point in time, Marley's got him cornered,”Taylorsaid. Pham slashed (砍) both Marley and Taylor, and blood went everywhere. Taylor shared a video summary to his Facebook page, where he said Marley was stabbed (刺) up to six times, mostly around the head and neck area. “And as I pulled back, blood shot out of my arm,”Taylorcontinued. “She got him pretty good and I got him pretty good in the face.”“But it was really hard because I was trying to make sure that my husband wasn't going to die,” Amber explained, adding that she was trying to protect their two girls. “When he realized that the two girls were in the house, that's when he kind of backed up and started running. "Taylorexpressed gratitude to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. And the family is thankful for their dog Marley.“She's our hero,” Amber said. “If it hadn't been for her, that guy could have gone in the...he could have gone to their rooms or something.”Tayloradded, “Yeah, I mean, the story plays out very differently if Marley's not there.”1. Why did the family come downstairs before daybreak?A. To stop a break-in.B. To lock the back door.C. To check on Marley.D. To turn the hall light on.2. What happened during the fight?A. Pham dug a hole in the corner.B. Marley was injured but bit back.C. Taylor had a backup from neighbors.D. Amber fought back to protect her girls.3. What doesTaylormainly express on his Facebook?A. Forgiveness.B. Concern.C. Anger.D. Appreciation.BLearning to say “yes, and”When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴交流) class, I was hesitating. As a quiet and shy girl, I feared improvising in front of strangers. However,I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after finishing my Ph.D., so it seemed like a perfect opportunity to learn how to speak and communicate with others effectively. I signed up, knowing the experience would give me help.During our first class, we learned an important concept of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that, as improvisers, we’d better accept what fellow performers say. If someone says that rhinos (犀牛) are librarians, for example, then rhinos are librarians. We do not question the logic; we say “yes” and then continue with the scene as if nothing is wrong.The first few scenes were hard, but as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable andeven started to enjoy our classes. I became better at listening, relating to my conversation partners, and communicating clearly in the moment. Once when I was giving a presentation about my science, an audience member surprised me with a question that didn’t grow out of the information I’d presented. Instead of getting confused and nervous, I took the “yes, and” approach—accepting the question and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me find an appropriate answer. I got pretty excited about it.The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Before attending the class, I would get stuck when my experiments produced unexpected data, thinking that I had made a mistake. But now, instead of getting discouraged, I will stay open to the possibility that the results are real, keep exploring the data and end up identifying a new type of cell—one that isn’t behaving as expected.I think all scientists can benefit from this lesson. If the data say rhinos are librarians, then it’s worth findingout whether rhinos are, in fact, librarians. As scientists, our job isn’t to challenge data that support a preconceived (先入为主的) story, but to say “yes, and.”4. Why did the author attend the improvisation class?A. To get a different experience.B. To finish her Ph.D. at university.C. To give up her job as a science communicator.D. To improve her speaking and communicating ability.5. What was the author’s change after attending the improvisation class?A. She formed her own idea quickly.B. She came up with lots of creative responses.C. She paid more attention to the logic of answers.D. She became a good listener before giving an opinion.6. The author mentions applying the “yes, and” approach to her scientific experiments to ______.A. explain the process of using the methodB. prove the benefits of the improvisation classC. share her own research experiences with readersD. attract fellow scientists to attend the improvisation class7. What can be inferred about scientists from the last paragraph?A. They should attend the improvisation class.B. They should question all preconceived ideas.C. They should carry on research by admitting earlier data.D. They should try to improve their professional knowledge.CScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah, north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助)through the project. The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”8. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.9. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C. To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.10. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.11. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.DThere are three of us in the laboratory: Jules, me and Dr. Leonards. Leonards asks me to sit in front of Jules. As I do, he looks me in the eye and starts to move his face through a series of emotions-happy, confused, surprised, glaring. I'm attracted by his display, feeling delight when hegrinsand feeling serious when his eyes narrow angrily. None of this would be a surprise, of course, if Jules were a human. But he's a robot head on a table.The most special thing is that, consciously(有意识地), there's no mistaking Jules for a real person. Althoughhe has surprisingly realistic skin, his eyes don't fit firmly against his lids, and he has a terrible hairpiece. Yet, as I walk into the room, I experience a complex worry of feeling in his direction. It's not at all like entering an empty space. It's a bit awkward for Jules’ shining false hair. Some unconscious part of me is responding to him as if he's real. This matters, because if we're to one day live comfortably along with robots , an understanding of how we instinctively(本能地) react to them is significant. The study of these issues is the frontier of a new scientific research; human-robot interaction.Jules was built as part of an attempt to understand the emotions that can be communicated by a human. “All the robots we'vebuilt so far don't have that rich emotions. We wanted to build a robotic face, with small motors that mimic(模仿) all the muscles you have, so we could discover what it could express. "Such research is becoming increasingly important, says Dr. Leonards, partly because our rapidly ageing population will soon need the help of robots with which they can effortlessly interact.12. What does the author think of Jules?A. He ignored him in his place.B. He didn't treat him as only a robot.C. He was afraid of his being there.D. He mistook him for a real person.13. What is the purpose to build such a robot?A. To help humans of old ages.B. To carry out a scientific research.C. To take the place of human labour.D. To make an interaction with human.14. What doesthe underlined word “grins” mean in Paragraph1?A. Smiles.B. Shakes.C. Worries.D. Cries.15. What may be the best title for the text?A. Human And RobotB. Success Of Making A RobotC. Robot Will Replace ManD. Difference Between Man And Robot第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door neighbor's 10­year­old daughter's rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog. I had to think fast.The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as “natural causes”．Then I went back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor's Volvo pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away and screamed: “D－A－D－D－Y！！！”．Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Beingthe good neighbor that I am, I rushed to the fence and asked if there was anything I could do.Her father less than calmly shouted, “What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's rabbit and put it back in its cage？”31. The girl was shocked because________．A. the rabbit was killed by someoneB．the rabbit was too cleanC．the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cageD．the rabbit was asleep in the cage32．That day the girl ran to the cage________．A．because her rabbit was thereB．because she had a habit of going there to see her rabbit C．because she wanted to see her rabbit againD．because the rabbit was dead33. We can infer that the rabbit________．A．was alive before the writer saw his dog dragging itB．was already dead before the writer saw his dog dragging it C．was in the cage playing with the dogD．was at the fence seeking out for food before it was killed by the dog34. According to the story, the writer________．A．was helpful to his neighborB．did a smart thingC．was honestD．made a mistakeBMost rain forests lie close to the equator (赤道), where the climate is often mild and there are long hours of sunshine. The warmth of the land heats the air above, causing it to rise and tiny drops of water to fall as rain. The rainfall can reach at least 98 inches a year. This wet, warm world with plenty of sunlight is perfect for plants to grow, so the trees grow fast with green leaves all the year round. The trees themselves also have an effect on the climate. They gather water from the soil and pass it out into the air through their leaves. The wet air then forms clouds, which hang over the treetops like smoke. These clouds protect the forest from the daytime heat and night­time cold of nearby deserts, keeping temperatures fit for plant growth.Rain forests slightly farther away from the equator remain just as warm, but they have a dry season of three months or more when little rain falls. Tree leaves fall during this dry season and new leaves grow when the wet season or monsoon (雨季) begins. Thus these areas are known as the “monsoon forest”．Another type of rain forest grows on tropical mountains. It is often called the “cloud forest”because clouds often hang over the trees like fog.The rain forest is the ideal place for the growth of many different trees. Most of them depend on animals to eat their fruits and spread their seeds. When the fruits are eaten, the seeds inside them go undamaged through animals' stomachs and are passed out in their droppings. The seeds lying on the forest floor th en grow into new trees.35. The climate of the rain forests near the equator is________.A．mild, wet and windyB．hot, rainy and foggyC．hot, wet and cloudyD．warm, wet and sunny36. We can learn from the passage that________.A．tree leaves are green all the time in the monsoon forest B．there is a dry season in the cloud forest on tropical mountains C．clouds help the plants in the rain forest near the deserts to growD．the formation of climate in the rain forest has little to do with the trees37. According to the passage，________play the most important role in spreading of seeds.A．animals B．droppingsC．fruits D．winds38. This passage is most likely to be found in________.A．a travel guide B．a story bookC．a technical report D．a geography book课时作业(十一)Ⅰ.1.

Cheating is a major concern in all academic environments. Students are creating new and more outrageous(令人吃惊的) ways of cheating every day; some claim that certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented.Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways students in all education levels have cheated. Some students think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The internet has now become available in almost every location. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phones. This opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born. There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each scenario of cheating. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Some may counter these arguments by saying that the student could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the material before the day of the test. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to find timefor school, sports, friends, and family. This may be true in certain instances, however, all students have these problems, and it is unfair to the students refrain(制止) from cheating when the student who is dishonest receives a better grade. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the information is too much for the course.It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating. These options can range anywhere from simply spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling(驱逐) a student, which will most likely hindertheir plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Another simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits students from getting the answers off of a neighbor's test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics.There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity and is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyone's help, it can be stopped. 【小题1】Which is the best title of this passage?A．To cheat or not to cheatB．Show your opinion on cheatingC．Debates on cheatingD．Different ways of cheating【小题2】The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.A．cheating through the Internet is the most basic wayB．students who cheat in exams are clevererC．millions of ways to cheat have been fashionedD．students cheat in exams to score better grades【小题3】The reason that is given by most students who think cheating is understandable is that ________.A．they don’t understand their teachers’ wordsB．they bury themselves in a lot of homeworkC．they don’t have enough time to complete the study tasksD．they forget to look over the material【小题4】What is the disadvantage of scolding the cheating students according to the passage?A．They may continue to cheat next time.B．They may be hurt mentally.C．They may use other cheating tactics.D．They may get on badly with their teachers.【小题5】What is the author’s attitude towards cheating?A．It is reasonableB．It is necessaryC．it can be praisedD．It must be prevented10.请根据下面这幅漫画写一篇150词左右的短文。

But in fact, when the starter's pistol sounds for the Great Gorilla Run next year, this highly popular event will have been raising money for thirteen years. People from all over the world will run, jog or walk 8km in gorilla(大猩猩) clothes through the capital's streets, passing such iconic(图标的) landmarks as The Tower of London and St. Paul's Cathedral. By the time the last ape crosses the finishing line, the runners will have raised millions for endangered species and education projects in Central Africa.Unusual charity events such as this are a huge trend for raising money for worthwhile causes. If, however, you really like the idea of running through mud and freezing cold ice, then The Tough Mudder is perhaps what you've been searching for. In this difficult and tiring team event, participants finish a 10－to 12－mile barrier course that tests physical strength and mental courage.It's more about friendship than winning. Over 150 such events worldwide have raised ￡5 million.But fundraising doesn't have to involve much physical effort. Students at a school in Illinois played Justin Bieber's song Baby over loudspeakers and urged fellow students to pay to stop the song.

The ability to respond in ways that seem lifelike has been informed by research into such issues as how perceptions (知觉)form, what constitutes social and emotional intelligence, and how people can infer others' thoughts and feelings. Advances in Al have enabled designers to translate such psychological and neuroscientific insights into algorithms that allow robots to recognize voices, feces and emotions; interpret speech and gestures; respond appropriately to complex verbal and nonverbal cues; make eye contact; speak conversationally; and adapt to people's needs by learning from feedback, rewards and criticisms.A 47-inch humanoid (类人物)called Pepper (from SoftBank Robotics) recognizes faces and basic human emotions and engages in conversations via a touch screen in its "chest," About 15,000 Peppers worldwide perform such services as hotel check-ins, airport customer service, shopping assistance and fast-food checkout. Temi (from Temi USA) and Loomo (Segway Robotics) are the next generation of personal assistants—like Amazon Echo and Google Home butmobile, providing a new level of functionality. Loomo, for instance, is not only a companion but can also transform on command into a scooter (小型摩托车)for transport.Social robots have particular appeal for assisting the world's growing elderly population. The PARO Therapeutic Robot (developed by Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology), which looks like a seal, soft and cute, is meant to stimulate and reduce stress for those with Alzheimer's disease and other patients in care facilities: it responds to its name by moving its head, and it cries for petting. Mabu (Catalia Health) engages patients, particularly the elderly, as a wellness aide, reminding them to take walks and medication and to call family members. Social robots are also gaining popularity with consumers as toys. Early attempts to include social behavior in toys, such as Hasbro's Baby Alive and Sony's AIBO robotic dog, had limited success. But both arc resurging （复活）、and the most recent version of AIBO has advanced voice and gesture recognition, can be taught tricks and develops new behaviors based on previous interactions.Worldwide sales of consumer robots reached an estimated $5.6 billion in 2018, and the market is expected to grow to $19 billion by the end of 2025, with more than 65 million robots sold a year This trend may seem surprising given that multiple well-funded consumer robot companies, such as Jibo and Anki, have failed. But a wave of robots is lining up to take the place of old robots, including BUDDY （Blue Frog Robotics）, a big-eyed mobile device that plays games in addition to acting as a personal assistant and providing home automation and security.1.What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?A. How social robots receive information.B. What research has been conducted about social robots.C. Why social robots can respond in lifelike ways.D. How designers translate insights into social robots.2. Examples are used in Paragraph 2 to show that social robots are__________.A. filling an expanding variety of rolesB. getting higher intelligenceC. interacting with peopleD. learning to respond in lifelike ways3. According to the passage we know that_____________ .A. social robots can have various forms and appearancesB. PARO can interact with people by moving its head like a dogC. the most recent version of AIBO has achieved as great success as beforeD. the sales of consumer robots have been increasing as ever expected4. What does the passage mainly express?A. More companies will invest on social robots.B. Social robots play nicely with human beings.C. Social robots have great effects on elder people's life.D. Artificial intelligence enables social robots to make decisions.BAT UNIVERSITY, when I told people I was studying for a history degree, the response was almost always the same: “You want to be a teacher?” No, a journalist. “Oh. But you’re not majoring in communications?”In the days when a university education was a privilege (特权), perhaps there wasn’t the assumption that a degree had to be a springboard (跳板) directly into a career. Those days are long gone. Today, a degree is all but a necessity for the job market, one that more than halves your chances of being unemployed. Still, that alone is no guarantee of a job —and yet we’re paying more and more for one.Given those costs, most of us want to maximize (使最大化) that investment — and that can lead to a plug-and-play type of approach to higher education. Want to be a journalist? Study journalism, we’re told. A lawyer? Pursue pre-law. Not totally sure? Go into STEM —you can become an engineer or an IT expert. And no matter what you do, forget the humanities (人文学科), such as history, philosophy and languages.It’s true that the human ities come with a higher risk of unemployment, but the risk is slighter than you would imagine. For young people in the U.S., the unemployment rate of those with humanities degrees is four percent, just a little more than that of engineering degree holders. Lower salaries may not be caused by the degree itself either. The gender pay gap persists in the humanities, whose graduates are more likely to be female. Is it any wonder then that English teachers tend to make less than engineers?According to Lin kedIn’s research on the most sought-after job skills by employers for 2019,the ability to communicate and get along with people, to understand what’s on other people’s minds, and to do full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated. It goes without saying that you can be an excellent communicator and critical thinker without a humanities degree. And any good university education, not just one in English or psychology, should sharpen these abilities further. But few courses of study are quite as heavy on reading, writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities —whether that’s by debating other students in a seminar (研讨会), writing a thesis paper (论文) or analyzing poetry.The whole question of whether a student should choose STEM versus the humanities might be misguided to begin with. The headlines most of us see don’t help. Whatever a student pursues in university, it must be something that they are not only good at, but interested in. Even if it means pursuing a “useless” degr ee — like one in humanities.5. The author’s experience was cited in Paragraph 1 to show that ______.A. a history major can work as a journalistB. a university education is no longer enjoyed by a small group of peopleC. most people have a misunderstanding of the humanitiesD. most students are more money-oriented than ever before6. According to the article, the humanities are “useless” because graduates are more likely to ______.A. ①②B. ②③C. ③④D. ①④① follow a narrow career path② face a relatively high risk of unemployment③ receive low average salaries④ see a widening gender pay gap7. It CANNOT be inferred from the article that humanities majors tend to do well in ______.A. exchanging their ideas with other peopleB. fighting off competition in the job marketC. sharing other people’s feelingsD. thinking outside the box8. The author’s purpose in writing the article was to ______.A. present readers with the fact that university education has greatly changed in the past centuryB. help readers properly understand the relationship between university degrees and occupationsC. remind readers to choose a major they really enjoy without caring too much about financial successD. offer readers advice on how to stand out from the rest while looking for jobs in the future三、任务型阅读NASA is moving forward with plans to launch an electromagnetic telescope that could detect asteroids (流星) on a collision course with Earth. Its launch could come by the middle of 2020s.The Near-Earth Object Surveillance Mission, which will cost $500 million to $600 million, grows out of long-gestating plans for the Near-Earth Object Camera (NEOCam), first proposed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab (JPL) in Pasadena, California, nearly 15 years ago. Such a scope is essential for meeting a congressional requirement that NASA detect 90% of all potentially hazardous asteroids and comets of at least 140 meters in diameter by the end of 2020. The telescope will likely end up with a different name, but the mission is the same.A combination of an electromagnetic telescope and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, a ground-based facility being built in Chile, will eventually make it a reality. A telescope operating in the electromagnetic spectrum is essential as the past decade has shown that dark asteroids, which are nearly invisible in visible light but stand out in electromagnetic, are more abundant than once thought.Building the electromagnetic telescope, however, could require an increase in NASA’s $150 million annual budget for planetary defense. Most of that money now goes to the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission being built by Johns Hopkins University’s Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland. Set for launch in 2021, DART seeks to test whether it’s possible to bend the path of an asteroid. It’s unclear whether congressional appropriators will follow NASA’s lead and also fund the new electromagnetic telescope.Over the past 15 years, with NASA support, Mainzer’s team has refined the electron ics and sensors that will power the telescope. Unlike the previous electromagnetic telescope, NEOCam sensors will be able to operate without active refrigeration when parked at L1, a stable vantage point balanced between the gravity of Earth and the sun. Engineers, meanwhile, have dramatically lowered the “dark currents” of its detectors, spurious noise that occurs when the detectors areoperated even in total black conditions.Not everyone has been a fan of NEOCam’s plans. Nathan Myhrvold, a billionair e technologist and former Microsoft chief technology officer in Bellevue, Washington, has faulted the statistics used by Mainzer and others to generate asteroid diameters from observations of the WISE instrument, among other issues. The tasks that NEOCam was designed to perform also seem increasingly irrelevant. One change is that researchers now think asteroids smaller than 140 meters in diameter also pose potentially serious threats to Earth, in part because they could四、书面表达Lots of kids count athletes among their heroes. Kids have posted of their favorite. stars on their bedroom walls. They collect their player cards and wear their game shirts. They view athletes as heroes because athletes can perform some amazing feats.However, it is good for kids, and their parents, to remember that while athletes can do almost magical things, this does not automatically make them good friends or nice people. The last few years have given us some sad reminders of this truth.Lance Armstrong was called a hero. He almost died of cancer, but he recovered to win seven Tour de France titles in a row, inspiring millions who have canc er to “live strong.”Now it is clear Armstrong cheated to win his championships. He took drugs and lied for years about drug use. He bullied anyone who said he had cheated. Armstrong was a great athlete, but that did not make him a good person.The same was true with several star baseball players, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa. They have not been voted into the sport's Hall of Fame because they have been accused of cheating to achieve their incredible records. Apparently, there is more to this honor than just records and statistics.In a word, even if a player is the hero of the game, that doesn't make him a hero in life.【写作内容】1.用约30个单词概述上述文字所描述的内容；2.分析文中提到的体育明星不适合作为偶像的原因(不少于两点);3.就偶像与榜样教育给家长们提出建议(不少于两点).【写作要求】1.写作过程中不能直接引用原文语句；2.作文中不能岀现真实姓名和学校名称；3.不必写标题。

What he hated most was when people were polite to each other, saying words like “please” and “thanks”. 2 , he didn’t use sentences like “Excuse me, could you please tell me how to get to the bookstore?” He thought all the kind and polite words were useless. So he 3 with a plan. He decided to invent a 4 which could steal words. With this machine, he would be able to steal “excuse me”, “please”, “thanks”, “sorry”, and 5 words which people used to be polite. Finally, he made it. When people said kind and polite words, nothing came out. All those words were stolen by the “bad” machine. It seemed that people really didn’t need to be polite.However, after a few days, everyone began to argue with others and people got 6 easily.The bad man was glad about his 7 .

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑． AMore than four decades ago British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab. Since that ground-breaking moment, more than four million babies have been born through IVF and in 2021 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.The prize for Dr. Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2021, includes a £900,000 check. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine〞.With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchester-born physiologist developed IVF - leading to the birth of the world’s firsttest tube baby. Dr. Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility treatment and given hope to millions of couples.It was a scientific breakthrough that transformed the lives of millions of couples. They said: “His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility, a disease which makes human unable to have a baby. This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind including more than 10% of all couples worldwide.〞Louise Brown, the world’s first test tube baby, made international headlines when she was born in Oldham, Gtr Manchester, in 1978 to parents Lesley and John who had been fruitlessly trying for a baby since 1969.Ivf-in-vitro fertilization is the process whereby egg cells are fertilized outside the body before being implanted in the womb. After a cycle of IVF, the probability of a couple with infertility problems having a baby is one in five—the same as healthy couples who conceive naturally.Professor Edwards, who has five daughters and 11 grandchildren, began his research at Cambridge University in 1963, after receiving his PhD in 1955. He once said: “The most important thing in life is having a child. Nothing is more special than a child.〞 With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, Prof. Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridge shire, which now treats more than 900 women a year. Each year, more than 30,000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11,000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who sai d it was “unethical and immoral〞.Martin Johnson, professor of reproductive sciences at the University of Cambridge, said the award was “long overdue〞. He said: “We couldn’t understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted - this is the cherry on the cake for him.〞Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was “thrilled and delighted〞.1．What is Robert Edwards’ contribution to science?A. Enabling millions of couples to live a better life.B. Seeing the wonder of the first tube baby growingC. Helping couples with infertility to have tube babies.D. Challenging a disease which stops human having a baby.2．What does the underlined word “afflicting〞(Paragraph 4)most probably refer to?A. TroublingB. DevelopingC. ImprovingD. Confusing3．Why did Professor Edwards begin his research on tube baby?A. Because he thought it of great significance to have a child in life.B. Because the birthrate around the world was unexpectedly low then.C. Because a special child did make a difference to an ordinary family.D. Because his fellow scientist wanted to give hope to the unlucky couples.4．It can be inferred from Paragraph 8 and Paragraph 9 that ___________.A. Professor Edwards deserved the prize for his breakthrough.B. different opinions were voiced on Professor Edwards’ finding.C. some people envied Professor Edwards for his being awarded.D. the prize was late because the finding was first considered immoral. 5．What might be the best title for the passage?A. Life Stories of Robert EdwardsB. Preparations for Having a BabyC. Nobel Prize for IVF Expert EdwardsD. Treatment of Infertility in a LabBAn Italian couple are becoming the world’s oldest divorcees, after the 99—year—old husband found that his 96—year—old wife had an affair(婚外情) in the 1940s.The Italian man, called by lawyers in the case as Antonio C，looking through an old drawer when he made the discovery a few days before Christmas.In spite of the time that had passed since the affair, he was so upset that he immediately asked his wife of 77 years, named as Rosa C, whether it was true, and demanded a divorce.Stricken by the guilt, she reportedly admitted everything but was unable to persuade her husband to reconsider his decision, though her children also did much more work.She wrote letters to her lover during a secret affair in the 1940s, according to court papers released in Rome this week , which made people know the truth.The couple are now preparing to split, though the marriage they built has lasted over nearly eight decades- they have five children, a dozen grandchildren and one great- grand child.The discovery of the letters was the final problem for their marriage which had already run into difficulty- 10 years ago the husband brieflyleft their house in Rome and moved in with one of his sons, only to return a few weeks later.The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the couple’s southern blood- he is originally from Olbia in Sardinia, while his wife was born in Naples. The couple met during the 1930s when Antonio served as a young officer.The case appears to set a new record, at least for the age of the oldest figures- the previous oldest couple to divorce were Bertie and Jessie Wood, both aged 98, from the UK.That pair ended their 36- year marriage in 2021 when they were both two years away from their 100th birthdays. They got married in Elstree,Hertfordshire, in 1972 having both ended previous marriages, before moving to Falmouth, Cornwall four years later.6．Which is true according to the text?A. To find his wife’ affair, Antonio C looked through an old drawer.B. Rosa C’ lover may be Bertie.C. Rosa C admitted what she did because she was sorry for her guilt.D. The Italian thought the fierce split resulted from the discovery of the letters.7．Which word can replace the underlined one in passage5?A. advertisedB. announcedC. concludedD. expressed8．Which of the following best describe Antonio C?A. a childish manB. a rude manC. a romantic manD. a stubborn〔固执(gù zhí)〕man9．The marriage of Antonio C and Rosa C .A. may come to an end because the husband sticks to his decisionB. appears to set a new recordC. may have lasted over 36 yearsD. began in the 1930s before both ending previous marriages10．This passage may come from .A. a text bookB. a newspaperC. a history bookD. an advertisementCYears ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window .I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window .It really looks terrible.〞One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批评(pī píng)) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?Since then, whenever I want ed to judge someone, I asked myself first ,“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?〞 Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.11．The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because_____.A. the woman’s window was dirtyB. the writer’s window was dirtyC. the woman lived nearbyD. the writer was near-sighted12．The writer was surprised that ________.A. the woman was sitting by her windowB. the woman’s window was clean.C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoonD. the woman’s window was still terrible13．“ It dawned on me〞probably means “______〞.A.I began to understand itB. it cheered me upC. I knew it grew l ightD. it began to get dark14．It’s clear that________.A. the writer had never met the woman beforeB. the writer often washed the windowC. they both worked as cleanersD. they lived in a small town15．From the passage, we can learn_________.A. one shouldn’t criticize others very oftenB. one should often make his windows cleanC. one must judge himself before he judges othersD. one must look at others through his dirty window第二节〔一共(yīgòng)5小题；每一小题2分，满分是10分〕根据短文内容，从短文后的选项里面选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

2021年北京十一中学高三英语模拟试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AIf you had the opportunity to live forever, would you take it? Keeping your body alive indefinitely still seems like an impossibility, but some scientists think that digital technology may have the answer: creating a digital copy of your “self” and keeping it “alive” online long after your physical body has ceased to function.In effect, the proposal is to clone a person electronically. Unlike the familiar physical clones — children that have identical features as their parents, but that are completely separate organisms with a separate life — your electronic clone would believe itself to be you. How might this be possible? The first step would be to mapthe brain.How? One plan relies on the development of nanotechnology (纳米技术). Ray Kurzweil — one of the kings of artificial intelligence — predicts that within two or three decades we will have nano transmitters that can be put into the bloodstream. Inthe capillaries (毛细血管) of the brain, they would line up alongside the neurons and detect the details of the cerebral (大脑的) electronic activity. They would be able to send that information to a receiver inside a special helmet, so there would be no need for any wires sticking out of the head.As a further step, Ray Kurzweil also imagines the nano transmitters being able to connect you to a world of virtual reality on the Internet, similar to what was shown in the film “Matrix”. With the nano transmitters in place, by thought alone, you could log on to the Internet and instead of the pictures coming up on your screen, they would play inside your mind. Rather than send your friends e-mails you would agree to meet up on some virtual tropical beach.Some peoplebelieve that they can enjoy life after death. But why wait for that when you could have a shot of nanobots (纳米机器人) and upload your brain onto the Internet and live forever as a virtual surfer?One snag: to exist on the net you will have to have your neural network parked on the computer of a web-hosting company. These companies want real money in real bank accounts every year or they will wipe your bit of the hard disc and sell the space to someone else. With your body six feet underground how will you pay?1. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Nano transmitters can help map the human brain.B. Electronic clones recreate the original human body.C. Electronic clones may put their physical selves into movies.D. Nano transmitters use a helmet to detect the cerebral activities.2. What is the author’s attitude towards electronic clones?A. Optimistic and careful.B. Interested and unconvinced.C. Excited and confused.D. Assured and critical.3. The author asks “how will you pay?” at the end of the article, because ________.A. you can’t pay to exist on the Internet if you are physically deadB. you can’t pay for hard disc space if you don’t have a bank accountC. you can’t pay for a special service if too many people want to use itD.you can’t pay the web-hosting company if you don’t have a neural networkBI don’t want to talk about being a woman scientistagain. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what it’s like to work in a field dominated (controlled) by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space, time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics (天体物理学), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as a post-doctor doing space research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievement — jobs, research papers, awards — was viewed through the lens (镜片) of gender (性别) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相对于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations (挑衅): I don’t talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didn’t want to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I don’t study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a women’s college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer, 45.I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I don’t dismiss those concerns. Still, I don’t tell them “war” stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professor heavily pregnant doing physics experiments. And in turn they have given me the image of45 women driven by a love of science. And that’s a sight worth talking about.4. Why doesn’t the author want to talk about being a woman scientist again?A. She is fed up with the issue of gender discrimination (歧视).B. She feels unhappy working in male-dominated fields.C. She is not good at telling stories of the kind.D.

The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”8. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.9. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C. To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.10. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.11. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.DAs one of the world’smost popular cultural mediums, cinema is at the leading position at the Taihu WorldCultural Forum(论坛), an annual event that aims to improve cultural exchanges. So far this year, Chinese box office has already topped 58 billion yuan, the China Film Administration said. This indicates that China, the world’s second-largest movie market, is closing the gap with the United States, the world’s top cinema market.Cao Yin, director of the program center at China Movie Channel, said that China has 67,000 cinema screens. the most of any country, and the number is expected to increase to 80,000 by the end of next year. Saying that China has signed coproduction agreements with 22 countries (including the United States, Canada, Japan. India etc.) ,Cao added it has deepened cinematic exchanges between Chinese filmmakers and their foreign counterparts (同行).With the country’s huge native market, which produced more than 1,000 films in 2019, Hong Kong director Stanley Tong said he believes foreign filmmakers will increasingly seek cooperation with China. “International coproduction will become an important platform to send Chinese stories oversea and give us a broader vision of creation,” Tong said.Recently, over 80 percent of the world’s top 100 highest box-office titles have been action films. Tong said the films, in which plots are basically secondary to shining stunts (特技), is one of the easiest ways to appeal to foreign audiences. But it has been a decades-long struggle for Chinese filmmakers to sell their stories overseas. When asked what kinds of Chinese films would have the most global appeal. Yan Zhaozhu, chairman of the Taihu World Cultural Forum, said stories that address universal issues, such as environmental protection and climate change, are perhaps the best options.12. What is the purpose of the Taihu World Cultural Forum?A. To strengthen cultural exchanges.B. To build more cinemas in China.C. To invite more tourists to Taihu.D. To attract more international investment.13. What can we infer about Cao Yin’s opinion in Paragraph 2?A. Chinese box office has already overtaken the United States so farB. The screens of Chinese cinemas will be world-leading in the futureC. China has signed the most coproduction agreements with other countriesD. There will be more and more cooperations between Chinese filmmakers and other countries.14. How do Chinese filmmakers feel about selling their movies to the world right now?A. Easy.B. Disappointed.C. Challenged.D. Confused.15. What is the best title for the text?A. Box Office: Unclear FutureB. China: Top Second Movie MarketC. Cinema: The Leading Cultural PositionD.
