He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads Talent Academy.Smedley describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step”. “Havinga major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded,” he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positive action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”4.What will Ella win after fighting off a series of challenges?A.She’ll become a karting champion.B.She’ll drive for Ferrari in Formula 1.C.She’ll have to pass a few fitness tests.D.She’ll become the first female racing champion.5.Why is Mick Schumacher mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.To make people believe he’s a famous racing driver.B.To show Ferriari Driver Academy is difficult to enter.C.To introduce that he was once a double F1 world champion.D.To prove Ferrari Driver Academy is home to the promising racing drivers.6.What does the underlined word “dominated” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A.won.B.ruled.C.placed.D.grasped. 7.What’s the best title for the text?A.Ella Stevens: the First Female RacerB.Ella Stevens: a Promising Racing StarC.Formula 1—Ferrari: the World Top RaceD.Formula 1—Ferrari: a Race without FemaleBradley McConachie, a 33-year-old Australian is actually a student in international relations completing his PhD through Griffith University. He came to Beijing for a cooperative research at Beijing University two years ago. Such an academic life was colorful with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, “I'm in China".Bradley was lucky to win the most "likes" for his photo story about his life in China and became one of 20 winners to visit locations by the project this summer. All the winners’ experiences were filmed to produce a reality show, My Chinese Working Day, which will be broadcast by mid-September.Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding. The film crew took them to many “amazing sites" and the staff at the resort taught them a lot about how to incorporate modern Chinese features while still keeping traditional customs.“I would have to say two things stick out as the most memorable:the helicopter ride and talking with the staff at the hotel about how they organize weddings here in China," he said. That was Bradley's first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed with the “stunning" view of the coastline.“I think it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer. I think so many Australians, when they think about China, imagine the historical sites of Beijing and the exciting things to see in Shanghai but have no idea about other beautiful places, like Sanya or the many other places people have been taken to in this TV series. It was nice to experience these little touches. I was happy to be a part of that experience!” Bradley said.8.What made Bradley's life more colorful?A.Obtaining his PhD.B.The cultural exchanges project.C.The research about Beijing University.D.The interest in international relations.9.Why was Bradley given the chance?A.He produced the reality show.B.His life in China was interesting.C.He was one of the top 20 winners.D.He liked photo stories most.10.Which of the following best explains “stunning" in Paragraph 4?A.Fantastic.B.Confusing.C.Agreeable.D.Extreme.11.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.It's difficult to produce moving TV series.B.Beijing and Shanghai are historical sites.C.Sanya is worth visiting for foreigners.D.Many Australians know little about China.With over 4. 1 billion people, or around 55 percent of the world’s population, living in urban areas, cities and towns worldwide are getting increasingly congested. In addition to spending many hours stuck in traffic, residents are also exposed to high air pollution levelscaused by transportation emissions. Now, Saudi Arabia hopes to revolutionize urban living with “The Line”— a city designed around nature, without cars and roads!“The Line” is designed by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS). Located in NEOM — a 10,000-square-mile high-tech planned development on the Red Sea coast in the northwestern Saudi province of Tabu — The Line will be the cornerstone of MBS s Saudi Vision 2030. The plan aims to diversify Saudi Arabia’s oil-dependent economy into other sectors, like tourism, and create exciting job opportunities for its citizens.The 105-mile-long city, expected to cost between $100 billion and $200 billion, will be built along a straight line and is made up of several self-sustaining communities. To ensure all services are within a short, five-minute walk, each community will feature a three-layer infrastructure (基础设施).The top “pedestrian layer” will be void of cars and roads, allowing residents to freely walk and bike in the surrounding green spaces. The second “service layer”, will include all essential daily services, such as schools, leisure facilities and grocery stores. The third “spine layer” will house high-speed subway and autonomous vehicles capable of transporting residents across communities in less than 20 minutes. The entire city will be powered with renewable clean energy sources such as solar and wind, and possibly even hydrogen.If all goes according to plan t construction of this complex project will start before the 1st quarter of 2021. In addition to providing up to a million residents with a clean and stress-free living environment, The Line is expected to create 380,000 new jobs, start economic diversification, and contribute an astounding $ 48 billion to Saudi Arabia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) by 2030. More importantly, MBS believes it will provide governments worldwide a “blueprint for how people and planet can co-exist in harmony.”12.We can infer that “The Line” will be_________.A.temporary B.primitive C.eco-friendly D.conventional 13.What is The Line meant to result in?A.Low crime rates.B.High unemployment.C.Super communities.D.Diverse economic sectors.14.What can be found on the second layer?A.Medical clinics.B.Bus stops.C.Underground trains.D.Cycling lanes.15.Which of the following is the best title?A.Saudi Arabia Has Created A Green City With No Cars Or StreetsB.“The Line” Will Be The Cornerstone Of MBS's Saudi Vision 2030C.“The Line”— Blueprint Of People And Animals Co-existing In HarmonyD.Saudi Arabia Announces “The Line”— A Low Carbon City Without Cars二、七选五Do People Need Small Talk to Be Happy?Psychologists (心理学家) have long said that connecting with others is an important part of happiness, but just how much conversation we require is under examination. In one study,researchers found that small talk made up only 10% of their conversation related with happiness.16 . Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding. Late last year, Princeton researchers reported that small talk keeps closeness with loved ones, and isn’t merely the stuff of awkward exchanges with strangers.Still, chatting with strangers could brighten your morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists gave Chicago passengers different directions about whether to talk with fellow passengers-something they typically avoided. 17 . None of the chatters reported being rejected.Small talk can also help us feel connected to our surroundings. People who smiled at,made eye contact with, and briefly spoke with their Starbucks baristas (服务员) reported a greater sense of belonging than those who rushed through the transaction (交易). 18 One report found that when volunteers broke the silence to chat with gallery goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not approached.19 .In one study, people who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation rolling on their own, and had greater luck building closeness with others when they were supplied with questions that encouraged personal disclosure (透露). But people who were considered “curious” needed no help when transforming conversations about ordinary things into personal exchanges. 20 .A.The same is true of gallery goers.B.They found that small talk is related with happinessC.But don’t play down small talk just yet.D.Of course, some people are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger.E.A “curious mindset”,the author concluded, can lead to “positive social interactions”.F.Making small talk is an important skill for all the social situations.G.Those told to chat with others reported a more pleasant journey.三、完形填空It’s about 250 miles from the hills of west-central lowa to Ehlers’ home in Minnesota.25.A.injured B.stolen C.lost D.rescued 26.A.home B.past C.back D.on 27.A.preparation B.explanation C.test D.search 28.A.cautiously B.casually C.skillfully D.angrily 29.A.surprise B.joy C.hesitation D.anxiety 30.A.predicted B.advertised C.believed D.recorded 31.A.house B.phone C.street D.car 32.A.called B.copied C.counted D.remembered 33.A.fed B.adopted C.found D.cured 34.A.hunted B.skied C.lived D.worked 35.A.on purpose B.on time C.in turn D.in vain 36.A.cares B.sees C.suffers D.learns 37.A.place B.trouble C.waste D.extreme 38.A.service B.plan C.effort D.team 39.A.equal B.allergic C.grateful D.close 40.A.suitable B.proud C.wise D.willing四、用单词的适当形式完成短文五、短文改错51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
2021届高三英语上学期期中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ASevenhugs HugOneDo you want to improve the quality of your sleep? Sevenhugs has created HugOne that tracks different sleep patterns to help families consistently rest better. There are dozens of devices and tools devoted to monitoring the sleep. But, HugOne is the world’s first family smart home sleep system, which integrates a calculation rule for sleep patterns of children and adults.HugOne is a well-designed product, full of a sense of science and technology. It connects to a number of smaller sensors called “minihugs”, which are placed on the edge of each bed. They monitor the sleep patterns and other data coming from the person sleeping in that bed. The data arethen sent to an app on the smartphone.● The benefits of HugOne include:* Having a smart alarm clock on the app as HugOne learns your sleep cycle and automatically sets and sounds to when the best moment in your sleep cycle is identified.* Monitoring temperature and humidity in your bedroom as well as indoor air quality for the main living space.* Linking with smart lamps and thermostats, allowing users to fall asleep with sunset light and preferred nighttime temperatures, and wake up to sunrise light and preferred daytime temperatures.* Ensuring safety from electronic transmissions when you sleep-when the minihug senses a presence in bed, it shuts off its electronic transmissions and starts recording sleep data and sending them to the app.● The following are selected from customers’ comments:I prefer HugOne, since it’s convenient to use. I simply place the minihug in the corner of my bed under the sheet and it goes to work monitoring my sleep cycle. It’s really good.—Robert Compton● HugOne available for purchase includes:I think HugOne is a humanized product. It’s shareable, and I’ve connected eight minihugs to the HugOne base in my house. All my family members think highly of it.—Chris HanawaltHugOne will provide maximum protection for your sleep. If you want to get more detailed information, please call the sellers at 1-800-576-1899 or .Style: Sleep Tracking System+2 Sleep SensorsColour: Blue+Rose1. How does HugOne effectively work?A.

According to the passage, HugOne can ______.A. adjust temperature, humidity and air quality in bedroomsB. update the sleep cycles by aid of an alarm clock on the appC. record sleep data when there are electronic transmissions in bedD. help users fall asleep and wake up naturally with preferred temperatures3. The passage is made more believable by ______.A. providing statisticsB. drawing a comparisonC. giving a demonstrationD. using recommendationsBSpain's tourism industry is looking to Chinese tourists for its high-endmarket, according to Rafael Cascales, president of the Spain-China Tourism Association (ATEC). “It is the kind of tourism that is not only interested in the sun, beach and the “all-included” culture. They enjoy culture, wine, history and nature, and the new Chinese tourists would also want to spend more money in Spain," said Cascales in a recent interview with Xinhua.“They are younger, more women travel and they are more cosmopolitan (见多识广的).They also travel on their own or in couples or in smaller groups. The old-fashioned large groups of visitors have not disappeared, but this new form of traveling is becoming more important,55he said.Speaking of the consumption pattern of the new kind of Chinese tourists, Cascales said, “The money they spend is distributed better because they will book one flight with one airline, the hotel with another company and the restaurant with another.” In his eyes, “Chinese tourists are very important because they combine two things: there are a large number of them and they spend more money than anyone else — almost four times more than tourists from other countries." They not only travel abroad in the summer months when Spain has to competewith the sun and beaches in countries such as Turkey and Egypt, but also travel in the off-peak seasons of a year, according to Cascales.In 2017, Spain is the second most popular tourist destination in the world, only after France. It attracted about 82 million visitors, 700,000 of them from China, a number which is estimated to rise to about 2.2 million by 2022.“We are ready; we have the infrastructure (基础设施) at every level, especially in hotel capacity. Here those visitors can find what they are looking for, including the luxury items which distinguish them,” Cascales noted.4. What are the features of the new Chinese tourists according to Cascales?A. They are cautious about spending money in Spain.B. They are likely to travel in smaller groups now.C. They are only interested in the sun and beach.D. They are mainly male visitors of middle age.5. What can we learn about the consumption pattern of new Chinese tourists?A. They will reserve flights and hotels with different companies.B. They will spend less money than tourists from other countries.C. They will travel abroad only during the off-peak seasons.D. They will spend the money in different cities.6. What is done to meet the demands of Chinese tourists?A. Local cultures in Spain are promoted.B. Well-furnished hotels are provided.C. Best and expensive items are offered for free.D. More shopping sites are constructed.7. What is the purpose of this text?A. To introduce the tourism industry of Spain.B. To show Spain's desire to attract Chinese tourists.C. To describe the features of Chinese tourists.D. To advertise Spain as a top tourist destination.CMore than 10,000 people were made homeless in Ternang when the Sungai Mas overflowed its banks yesterday after six days of continuous heavy rain.The wooden bridge across the river has been washed away. The town is cut off by flood waters. At the fifth mile, Jalan Tengkn, the water is two meters deep. It is closed to all traffic. Flooding first happened at mid-afternoon yesterday along the river banks. People trying to get to higher ground were just in time to escape the destroying of the flood. Most of the flood victims(受害者) had to leave all their things behind.The National Flood Relief(救济) Center was reported to give its help and by early evening the whole town was moved out, helped by the army, police, Red Cross Society and volunteers(志愿者).The flood victims are now housed in different simple relief centers in the nearby town of Ternang. “Everything possible is being done to help the unlucky people,” a government spokesman said, “In fact, money, food and clothing have begun to come in from public organizations and helpful people. A Disaster Relief Fund(救灾基金会) will be started as soon as possible.”According to the latest reports it is still raining heavily at Ternang. The whole town is expected to be wholly covered by the water. So far no deaths have been reported.8. This passage is probably taken from______.A. a storybookB. a textbookC. a magazineD. a newspaper9. It seems that the flood happened just because ______.A. the banks were too lowB. the wooden bridge is solid (坚固)C. the river was too narrowD. they had had wet days for some time10.From the passage we know that ______.A. though the town was flooded, you could still go there by busB. as soon as the water flowed over the banks, people began to go to higher landsC. the government and the whole society are taking great care of the flood victimsD. the flood hasn't brought a large loss to the town as nobody died in the flood11. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Big FloodB. Ternang Is destroyedC. Over 10,000 People Are HomelessD. Rescue Team ArrivedDPeople saved a 20-foot orca (虎鲸) that was stuck between rocks on an Alaskan shore by continuously pouring water over it and protecting it from birds who circled above the defenseless whale.The whale was ultimately saved after a six-hour, labor-intensive life-saving operation. Someone spotted thelarge whale on the Prince of Wales Island near the coast of British Columbia on the morning of July 29th. The Coast Guard was called around 9 a.m. local time. Chance Strickland, the captain of a private yacht in Alaska, and his crew anchored and began life-saving action that were videoed by Aroon Melane and posted on the Internet.Strickland could hear the orca calling out to killer whales swimming in the area. People on other boats stopped with water and buckets to pour water over the animal. “There were tears coming out of its eyes,” Mr. Strickland told the local newspaper. “It was pretty sad.”The group of people formed a chain that passed buckets of seawater back and forth and poured the water on the orca, which seemed to liven it up. It made a noise and raised its tail when it got water.The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) was called in, which can be seen on the video using a machine to spray amist of seawater on the orca, which doubled as a way to keep the whale cool and scare the large group of birds that were hoping to feast on the beast.Melane said in her video that the orca was stranded (搁浅) for about six hours until the tide came in andswept it back into the ocean. The group efforts of Strickland’s crew and the NOAA saved the 13-year-old killer whale.12. Why did birds circle above the orca?A. They were eager to eat it.B. They wished to protect it.C. They were attracted by the people.D. They wanted to find a place to rest.13. What did Strickland do immediately after finding the whale?A. Posted pictures online.B. Called friends for help.C. Took action to save it.D. Videoed the trapped animal.14. Why did the whale make a noise and raise its tail?A. To express its eager for water.B. To extend its thanks to people.C. To call out to its fellow whales.D. To show its power and sadness.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Killer Whale Got SavedB. The Orca Inspired KindnessC. Combined Efforts WantedD. Animals and Humans United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。

第一部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)A“All animal products contain much more concentrated levels of pesticides residue (杀虫剂残留) than either vegetables or grains. Red meat, chicken and fish contain no beneficial carbonhydrates (碳水化合物), fiber“Fish contain far more heavy metals and industrial pollutants than land animals “There is a common misconception that vegetarians have limited food choices. Just the opposite is true. Vegetarians commonly eat a wider variety of foods than most meat eaters.”―“Vegetarian FAQ”, NorthAmericanVegetarian Society “The more I got educated about cruel treatment, it really was a no-brainer to become a vegetarian. You know, no one would barbecue their family dog. You know, a pig or a chicken isn’t different. They are just as gentle as a dog or a cat”—Public service announcement, Mike Ness “I’m not a vegetarian because I enjoy eating meat. Meat is nutritious food, and I believe there are ways to eat meat that are in keeping with my environmental and ethical (道德的) values. I don’t make the decision to eat meat lightly. Meat-eating has always been a messy business, shadowed by the shame of killing “I have a sincere respect for vegetarians, for they have actually done the work of thinking through the consequences of their eating decisions, something most of the rest of us have not done. My own examination of those consequences has led me to the conclusion that eating a small amount of meat from certain kinds of farms is something I can feel good about.”―“Animal Welfare: FAQ & UsefulLinks”, Michael Pollan “The centerpiece of a truly healthy diet must be animal foods. That means a large part of meat, seafood, eggs or raw dairy at just about every meal. That is how one recovers from vegetarianism and builds lasting health and strength.”—“Recovering fromVegetarianism”,Ron Schmid1. Which of the following is mentioned in “Vegetarian FAQ”?A. Fish is better for human health than chicken.B. Vegetarians are much healthier than meat eaters.C. There are more kinds of plant foods than animal products.D. There is more pesticide in vegetables than in animal products.2. What might Michael Pollan agree with?A. Vegetarians are thoughtful.B. Meat-eating should be forbidden.C. Vegetarians do something unnecessary.D. Meat-eating is helpful for the environment.3. What topic is discussed in the text?A. What are healthy foods?B. How to get the best nutrition.C.

Information TechnologyC. Around the WorldD. Teen’s GardenBI used to think that life in Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania, was filled withnever-changing routines. I hated that everyone seemed to know everything about everyone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives.I also didn’t like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped.I felt like I was missing out on opportunities. It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldn’t wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasn’t at all what I had imagined.I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadn’t had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace. When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike anddidn’t say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I appreciate the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of security and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesn’t provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger — it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has instilled(注入) morals and values in me that I didn’t even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.24.How did the author feel about life in Jim Thorpe at first?A. People there cared little about others.B. People there liked to accept new things.C. Living there was a great disadvantage.D. There were many chances of career development.25. What surprised the author most in New York City?A. The gestures of greeting.B. The modern transportation.C. The fast pace of life.D. The crowded streets.26. What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A. Traveling to New York City.B. The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C. A big place in his / her town.D. Everybody likes talking about others.27. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Love of my small townB. A sense of communityC. A pleasant trip to New York CityD. Differences between big cities and small townsCYou may have heard adults say they are uncomfortable in the morning without a cup of coffee. One reason they may feel that way is that coffee contains caffeine(咖啡因). Caffeine occurs naturally in coffee, tea, and cocoa beans, which are used to make chocolate. But now food makers are adding it to many products, from potato chips to water.The US government is especially worried about the problem. That’s why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is studying the health effects of caffeine on young people. Studies show that too much caffeine can make people nervous and unable to sleep. What’s more, caffeine is habit-forming. Those who consume it regularly and stop suddenly may experience headaches and feel tired.One of the biggest concerns is the large amount of caffeine added to so-called energy drinks, like Red Bull. A 12-ounce can of cola has about 35 milligrams of caffeine.A similar serving of Red Bull contains more than three times that amount.The Institute of Medicine is also working on caffeine-safety measures.“Teenagers should not drink beverages that contain caffeine. They should be aware of caffeine’s effects on health and on how the brain works. Take, for example, teenagers who consume caffeine to stay awake and study for a test. They will remember less of what they just studied,〞 said Stallings, a member of the institute.Companies that make products with added caffeine claim they do not advertise them to kids. However, there is no law to stop children from buying them. So the FDA needs to set limits on caffeine, especially in energy drinks. As for added caffeine in foods, the government should just say no. If not, the amount of caffeine should be printed on food labels to remind consumers. The government must do that.Doctors say kids should avoid caffeine. If you need extra energy, try these natural boosters: eat right, exercise, and get plenty of sleep.28.What is the US government particularly concerned about?A. The fact that coffee contains caffeine.B. The practice of adding caffeine to foods.C. The measures of avoiding caffeine’s effects.D. The practice of using caffeine to make chocolate.29.Red Bull is listed in the third paragraph as an example of _____.A. caffeine’s effects on healthB. teenagers’ addiction to caffeineC. drinks which contain much caffeineD. people’s concern about teenagers’ health30.Paragraph 5 is mainly about _____.A. the measures of protecting teenagers from caffeine’s effectsB. the process of the government’s controlling the use of caffeineC. the government’s responsibility of taking care of teenagersD. the risk of buying products containing caffeine nowadays31. The author may agree that _______.A. headaches and feeling tired are common in teenagersB. food makers don’t add much caffeine to many products nowC. caffeine is good and useful for teenagers’ studyD. getting enough sleep can make people energeticDSlowly but surely, we’re moving closer and closer to 5G world. Here’s what you need to know about the state of 5G right now.Objectively speaking, the fastest 4G download speeds in the U.S. Top out at an average of 19.42 Mbps. But 5G promises gigabit(千兆〕speeds. Most of us have never experienced anything close to speeds that fast---even Google Fiber tops out at 1 Gbps. And we’re only talking about the first generation of 5G modems. Future chips will likely be even faster. It’s not all about speed though. Part of the appeal of 5G is that it also brings much higher capacity to mobile networks, meaning that networks will be able to support many more data connections. In addition, 5G is a huge upgrade over 4G when it comes to latency(延迟), or the amount of time it takes for data to be transmitted. Because 5G networks support extremely low-latency connections,devices will be able to communicate much faster than previously possible.Put all this together and you begin to understand why 5G is such a big deal--- and not just for the smartphone industry. It has huge implications for just about every connected device. The technology will be essential for self-driving cars, which will need to be able to communicate with the world around them as quickly as possible. Lower latency and higher capacity means that cars will actually be able to communicate with their surrounding environment fast enough to enable them to actually be fully autonomous.The downside of all this, at least initially, will be all that extra speed is likely to come at a higher cost. Though we’ve seen a lot of positive progress just in the last year, we still have a long way to go before 5G is anywhere near as pervasive 〔普遍的〕as 4G is right now. Carriers and hardware companies are only just beginning to make commitments for 2021. But most in the industry agree that its popularity appears in 2021 at the earliest.32.How is the second paragraph developed?A. By making classification.B. By giving examples.C. By making comparisons.D. By giving definition.33. What’s the purpose of mentioning self-driving cars in paragraph 3?A. To introduce 5G into the automotive field.B. To encourage consumers to buy self-driving cars.C. To emphasize the huge impact of 5G.D. To show the higher speed of 5G.34. What does the underlined word “downside〞 in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden.35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. 5G will probably be widely used in 2021.B. 5G will keep charging high fees for the foreseeable future.C. The tech companies have been promising 5G’s coming for years.D. The carriers have not set about popularizing 5G yet.第二节〔一共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。

(A)A Film For Children: FrozenThere are three features classic Disney animations( 动画片)are supposed to have. The first is wonderful music. The second is a bit of danger and darkness in the songs. The third is a conservative message wrapped up in a traditional happy ending. Loosely inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s story The Snow Queen, Frozen initially promises to deliver on all three.We open with two tiny princess playing together in their parents’ palace. Elsa is entertaining her younger sister Anna by shooting ice and snow from her hand, creating a secret playground. As the girls grow up, the film properly begins, with icy blonde Elsa(voiced by Idina Menzel) charged never to use her powers or show the world who she really is. Cut off from her elder sister, Anna(Kristen Bell) is bored beyond belief, dreaming of true love. The standout song is Let It Go. Frozen has blue tunes and darkness.

I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was too busy in those days.Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.5.

The path to knighthood began at the age of seven, when a vassal(封臣)sent his son to the lord’s house to become a page as part of his training. For seven years, a page was cared for by the women of the house, who taught him many important things. At the age of fourteen, the page became a squire, a personal attendant(随从)to a knight. From the knight he learned riding and all the skills of war, as well as hunting, hawking, and other sports. In theory, the squire could be knighted on the battlefield for exceptional bravery, but this event was much rarer than Hollywood would have made us believe.When he was judged ready(generally between the ages of 18 and 21), the squire was knighted. He had to promise seriously to the knightly code which asked him to “protect the weak, defenseless, and helpless, and fight for the general welfare of all”. This code was rarely lived up to, but it remained the standard for proper behaviour among the noble people for centuries.Battles were usually small affairs, fought between the knights of different lords. The object in a fight wasn’t necessarily to kill a competitor, but to catch him and ask his lord to pay for him.Introduced from France in the 12th century, tournaments were an important part of military and social life. These “war games” contained individual contests, and group fights. Lances and swords were not sharp, but tournaments were where fame was made, so the fighting was hard and dangerous. Prizes were given to the winners, and some knights, such as famous William Marshall, made money in the tournaments. By the 14th century, tournaments became exciting fairs complete with singing, dancing, and feasting which might last for several days.9.What was required to become a knight in England in the Middle Ages?A.Learning many important things in a school.B.Being born by the women of the house.C.Being sent to the lord’s house at 14.D.Being the son of a noble man.10.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?A.A squire had to be exceptionally brave.B.A squire didn’t really go to a battlefield.C.A squire was rarely knighted on the battlefield.D.Hollywood makes people know well about a squire.11.What can we learn about the knightly code?A.It aimed to build a better society.B.Knights never behaved according to it.C.Knights were asked to fight for their own benefits.D.It was the standard for British people’s behavior for long.12.Why would knights fight fiercely in tournaments?A.Because it was a great way to please the lord.B.Because winning would bring great honor.C.Because lords paid a lot of money for it.D.Because they must fight for their lives.(D)Robots that can chat, find misplaced glasses, draw aeroplanes and play with your children are attracting thousands of visitors during an exposition in Tokyo as Japan adapts to changes in society. Robots, such as the sound-sensitive Chapit, answer simple questions and even joke with people to help them fight loneliness and stay alert at an old age.Japan has one of the world’s fastest-ageing societies and the government predicts that by 2050 the proportion of people over 65 will reach 40 percent. “Many older people in Japan live alone and have no one to talk to,” said Kazuya Kitamura, a representative of the exposition organizer. “Communication robots accompany people that don’t mind listening to the same stories over and over again.”“Personal Mobility Robot”, equipped with four cameras and a sensor to recognize the user’s center of gravity, is designed to help the elderly move around without pressing buttons, using joysticks(操纵杆)or rotating wheels as in traditional wheelchairs.The robot can also help find misplaced glasses by identifying them with a sensor.Other robots, such as the award-winning “DiGRO” can support busy parents who havelittle time to play with their children. The robot can use the Internet to find a simple image and then draw pictures, keeping children company while parents are working.While Chapit, a relatively simple robot, managed to attract a corporate partner, many researchers, such as Kiyoshi Matsumoto, a professor at the University of Tokyo, struggle to attract sponsors for more expensive projects.“We have developed a robot that can assist many people, but we still haven’t found a sponsor,” said Matsumoto, who added that the cost of the machine, if mass-produced, would be comparable to that of a car. “In the current economic environment there are few companies willing to invest in such a costly project.” he said.13.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.m any children lack love from parentsB.robots helpful to the old will be in great demandC.robots are the most useful to childrenD.robots do better than people in health care14.It is difficult to find sponsors for robots because ______.A.Japan is suffering economy depressionB.the robots are of poor designC.the production of robots costs a lotD.the future market is worrying15.What is the author’s attitude towards the robots referred to?A.UnsatisfiedB.DoubtfulC.FavorableD.Regretful第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)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。
