It functions primarily as a handheld scanner that kids can point at an object around them, such as a flower or a bird, to hear it talk back. Using its AI software, Spot recognizes the object and voices a little monologue (独白) from it, processing information to suit children aged five to nine.There’s also a secondary function that comes into play at bedtime, when Spot uses its in-built projecto (投影仪) to present a story made up around the day’s discoveries.Spot is a concept at this stage, one that grew, out of the research New Deal Design conducted into children’s development. The designers found that the right kind of toy could encourage focus, as opposed to instant satisfaction. They wanted to cultivate a kind of junior-level mindfulness that would set kids up with positive life skills.In terms of appearance, Spot has a complicated look, with its 3D camera fixed in the head. The models are smooth, including a wooden handle, a button and a base. The choice of materials was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.When Spot recognizes an object, it blinks to signal it has locked the target. Its head also locks into place to avoid any shaking. As an example, New Deal Design describes a girl called Max, who among other things, encounters a robin while out with the toy. Via Spot, the bird says, “Hi Max, my name is Robin! Did you know…”At that night’s Story Time, Spot starts “Once upon a time there was a little girl namedMax who met a robin. One day, Max asked the robin…”New Deal Design says that day summaries like this helps kids to relax and get better sleep. Seeing themselves at the centre of stories also helps to build self-confidence and self-awareness.8．In which aspect do children benefit from this artificial intelligence-equipped toy?A. Encouraging focus.B. Giving an instant satisfaction.C. Learning self-control.D. Cultivating junoir-level ability. 9．According to the passage, which statement about Spot is right?A. Spot’s monologues are age-specific.B. Spot tells stories programmed in advance.C. Spot has already been used to fight the “distraction economy”.D. Spot’s appearance was inspired by traditional kids’ building blocks.10．According to the text, who will the toy be useful for?A. Tom, two years old, can’t recognize an object around him.B. Max, eight years old, wants to make up a story about robin.C. Tina, nine years old, can’t concentrate her atte ntion on her class.D. Mike, twelve years old, wants to learn something about artificial intelligence.11．What is the text mainly about?A. A scientific invention.B. A learning program.C. An creative method.D. A tech design studios.It’s one of the ultimate tests of willpower: you’ve been wandering around the market for hours and you’re tired and hungry. Then you catch a smell of something fragrant (香的) and delicious, probably fried and almost certainly fattening. Junk food companies are well aware t hat the smell of their product sets off a desire in your brain and that you’ll pay for that later. It is a response that has been researched, and you’d better believe your favorite fast-food chains have marketing teams that are using that research to their advantage.Let’s take a closer look at this process. Have you ever noticed that whatever indulgent food (放纵型食品) catches your attention tends to be most appealing just after you first smell it? A couple of minutes later you are standing in line, and it isn’t quite as appealing as it was just moments ago, but now you’ve invested time, so you trust your first feeling to treat yourself.But a recent statement says that this is actually the right moment to walk away. Dipayan Biswas, a marketing professor, found there is a direct connection between how long a person is exposed to indulgent food smells and choosing healthier foods. “The results of a series ofexperiments show that extended exposure of more than two minutes to junk food smells leads to fewer purchases of unhealthy foods compared with no smell or a non-junk-food-related smell,” reads the summary of his study.What appears to be going on here is that the brain doesn’t necessarily distinguish between a pleasurable smell and a pleasant taste. “Extended exposure to an indulgent food smell brings pleasure in the mind, which in turn reduces the desire for actual consumption of indulgent foods,” he explains. So next time you feel you don’t have the willpower to resist cookies, smell all that sweetness for ju st a minute or two. To your brain it’s the same as actually eating cookies, and the purchase desire would decrease.12．What can we learn about junk food smells from the first paragraph?A. They can make a difference in marketing.B. They hardly affect people’s food choices.C. They are unlikely to fool wise customers.D. They finally decrease people’s purchase desire.13．What does the second paragraph basically serve as?A. An argument.B. An example.C. A comparison.D. A comment. 14．Which statement will Biswas probably agree with?A. The brain can’t tell where sensory pleasure is from.B. The senses of taste and smell are closely linked.C. The influence of food smells changes over time.D. The behavior of smelling food doesn’t equal eating it.15．Which of the following could the best title for the text?A. Train Your Brain to Resist Junk FoodB. Watch Out for Tricky Marketing ToolsC. Food Addiction Is Never About WillpowerD. Smelling Junk Food Longer Can Keep You Off It二、七选五16．Yes, trying new things is exciting and mind-expanding and all that, but it can also be awkward and embarrassing. No one likes to feel embarrassed and incompetent. ①Here are a few ways to feel a little better about launching yourself into a new experience—and help you get over the part of that initial misery to the part where it’s actually fun.First, we should know we’re born to be afraid of new experiences. From an evolutionary standpoint, trying new things, for much of human history, could have been dangerous. Thismeans that deep in our brains there’s a primeval (原始的) fear of looking bad, a fear of not performing as well as others. ②It’s part of being human. Enjoyment will come as the newness fades.Going in with the right mindset is also important. It’s go od to have an end goal in mind.③ Maybe your new hobby is marathons, for example; running one in under four hours isa goal, sure, but getting in shape and meeting other runners are worthy outcomes, too.④Whatever you’re trying, doing a little preparation work beforehand can make your first time a lot less frightening. Want to try your hand at baking? Before you actually bust out the kitchen equipment, maybe watch a few tutorials and take a few minutes to look up all the terms you don’t know. Taking up golf? ⑤ A baseline of knowledge will help you feel a little better the first time you try swinging a club.A. And it is wise to prepare before you start.B. Having an end goal will guide you through.C. Practice playing golf beforehand is a good choice.D. However, it helps to start with a beginner-friendly one.E. It’s fine to read a book on the sport before you head to the golf course.F. Unfortunately, it is unavoidable if beginners want to learn something new.G. In other words, not lovin g it right away isn’t a sign that you’ve made a mistake.三、完形填空（15空）Milo is a dog, adopted by 20-year-old Makayla Swift from an animal shelter.

高二下学期英语期末考试试题（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解On 29 May last year, I was doing my swim training for a half Ironman race in the bay near my home.I was finishing my first loop (圈) when I felt jaws coming around my body and a sharp pain. The water was dark, so I couldn't see anything. It just came out of nowhere and then it was gone in a flash. I knew it was something really big and assumed it was a shark. I panicked, but knew I needed to get out of the water. I was kicking wildly in case it came back. There was a lifeguard boat close by, so I waved my arms in the air and screamed for help. It got to me within 20 seconds. At that point I didn't feel anything; adrenaline (肾上腺素) had taken over. The lifeguards held me under the arms and pulled me up out of the water. Then the pain kicked in and it was pretty hard to bear. Some muscle had been bitten off my right arm. I felt a lot of warm, gushing blood.My chest felt heavy, as if someone had put their foot on it, and I was having trouble breathing. It was extremely painful. When I got to the hospital, I told the nurses to put me to sleep because of the pain. I just wanted them to fix me.I woke up after surgery four hours later. My doctor was amazed when I managed to move my fingers: the bite just missed a major nerve. My right lung had been damaged; I had several broken bones and a nerve in my leg was cut, so I have reduced feeling at the top of my leg. The shark also bit through my upper back muscle.Local experts determined that the shark was probably 9-10 feet long. It was young, about seven years old. It just attacked me, left and didn't come back because it figured I wasn't food.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案，并将选定答案的字母标号填在题前括号内。

We will also be faced with the same problem in year, so it brings a heated discussion among us students.Some students think that it is better to rely on teachers or parents because they are more experienced.

书面表达（满分25分）Dear Sam,As the deadly COVID-19 outbreak continues to rage worldwide, I hope this e-mail finds you well. With my deepest regret, I have to inform you that I may not stick to our collaborative learning project, which was originally supposed to kick off on June 30th.Please accept my genuine apology and account for the sudden change. It was the COVID-19 outbreak that resulted in the one-month delay of the college entrance exam. In other words, I am bound to be fully occupied in getting prepared for the once-in-a-lifetime challenge that falls on July 7th.Therefore, I have no choice but to ask for your understanding and see if you agree that we postpone our project for 2 weeks. After the exam, I will spare no effort in arranging our project. Not only will you be treated to the charm of the Chinese language, but the brilliant culture that you’ve always been fascinated with will get you immersed. You have my word.How do you like my proposal? I am looking forward to exploring, together with you, the distinctly different cultures carried by Chinese and English. Stay safe and sound!Yours,Li Hua。

高二下学期英语期末考试试卷（附答案）一、阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解We produce 500 billion of plastic bags in a year worldwide and they are thrown away polluting oceans, killing wildlife and getting dumped in landfills where they take up to 1,000 years to decompose. Researchers have been unsuccessfully looking for a solution.The 16-year-old Canadian high school student, Daniel Burd, from Waterloo Collegiate Institute, has discovered a way to make plastic bags degrade(降解) in as few as 3 months, a finding that won him first prize at the Canada Wide Science Fair, a ＄10,000 prize, a ＄20,000 scholarship, and a chance to revolutionize a major environmental issue.Burd's strategy was simple: Since plastic does eventually degrade, it must be eaten by microorganisms(微生物)．If those microorganisms could be identified, we could put them to work eating the plastic much faster than under normal conditions.With this goal in mind, he grounded plastic bags into a powder and concocted(调制) a solution of household chemicals, yeast(酵母) and tap water to encourage microbes growth．Then he added the plastic powder and let the microbes work their magic for 3 months．Finally, he tested the resulting bacterial culture on plastic bags, exposing one plastic sample to dead bacteria as a control．Sure enough, the plastic exposed(暴露) to the live bacteria was 17% lighter than the control after six weeks.The inputs are cheap, maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because microbes produce heat as they work, and the only outputs are water and tiny levels of carbon dioxide.“Almost every week I have to do chores and when I open the closet door, I have piles of plastic bags falling on top of me．One day, I got tired of it and I wanted to know what other people are doing with these plastic bags．The answer: not much．So I decided to do something myself.” Said Daniel Burd.（1）Daniel Burd won first prize at the Canada-Wide Science Fair because ________.A.he found a way to degrade plastics in shorter timeB.he contributed much to environmental protectionC.he found a new kind of microorganismD.he could encourage microbe growth in an easier way（2）Daniel Burd exposed one plastic sample to dead bacteria to ________.A.make the live bacteria work betterB.know which bacteria worked fasterC.test how effective his method wasD.control the temperature in the process（3）Maintaining the required temperature takes little energy because ________.A.plastics can get hot easilyB.microbes can produce heat themselvesC.much carbon dioxide is producedD.the temperature can be controlled（4）Daniel Burd got his idea from ________.A.his school textbookB.the failure of researchersC.his everyday workD.the practice of other people2.阅读理解For hours after their boat sank, Ken Henderson and Coen trod(踏) water in the Gulf of Mexico, talking about life and death while struggling to survive. For more than 30 hours, it worked.Then Henderson was forced to make a decision. “I'm going to go for help or you're not going to make it,” Henderson told Coen, just before cutting the strap(带子) that connected them in the deep, cold waters. “I understand,”Coen responded, giving Henderson a last set of instructions, “Kiss my babies for me.”Days after the fishing trip ended in tragedy, Henderson told the story for The Associated Press.They had been fishing for a few hours when suddenly Coen noticed the boat was filling with water. Henderson got both motors roaring, only to have the saltwater that had leaked in break them straight away…Coen jumped to the right, his sunglasses and cap flying off. The two grabbed extra life jackets and other floating items, including a half full bottle of Diet Coke.“The water was so cold and it took your breath away,” Henderson said. They immediately began to tremble.The pair prepared for a long wait. And they talked.“We discussed things and discussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied,” Henderson said.Eventually Coen started hallucinating(有幻觉). Henderson tried to keep Coen's arms and legs moving. But as morning came, Coen's situation worsened. And so Henderson decided to cut the strap.He swam for two hours, tired, frustrated and depressed. Then he saw an oil rig(钻探平台) in the distance. He swam, seeing ice and crystal trees in the water. He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself up the rig's ladder.It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.All he could think of was Coen. Convinced his friend would survive, he told the coast guard where they had parted.Two hours later, a fisherman found a body in a life jacket.Later, in the hospital, Henderson saw his friend. He apologized and asked for forgiveness. He promised to realize his wishes and look after his girls.“I felt like a part of me had died out there,” Henderson said.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?A.It was Henderson who first noticed something was wrong with the boat.B.Everything the men did to get the boat to work made matters worse.C.Henderson alone did what he could but it had little effect.D.The men's long discussion about life and death filled them with sadness.（2）After Henderson cut the strap and swam away, .A.he regretted his decision to leave his friendB.he knew he had a good chance of being savedC.he had to fight against exhaustion and hallucinationsD.he got encouraged by remembering the talk with Coen（3）What can we conclude from the article?A.Henderson tried to rescue both of them.B.They kept talking because they felt excited.C.Coen would have survived if he had believed in his friend.D.Coen was unwilling to be left alone but he eventually agreed.（4）What kind of person is Henderson?A.Strong-willed and loyal.B.Selfish but decisive.C.Smart and creative.D.Experienced but indifferent.3.阅读理解By now, you've probably been warned that a robot is coming for your job. But rather than repeat the warning, I've decided to throw down a challenge: man against machine.Start with the task we're doing right now: communicating in fluent human. We're sharing abstract ideas through words that we choose with an understanding of their slight difference and impact. We don't just speakin human; we speak as humans. A robot who says that science is fun is delivering a line (念一句话). A human who says that science is fun is telling you something important about being alive.Here's another inbuilt advantage we take for granted: as humans we are limited by design. We are bound in time: we die. We are bound in space: we can't be in more than one place at a time. That means when I speak to an audience, I am giving them something special. It's a custom-made, one-off, 100% robot-free delivery, from today's one-and-only Australian Chief Scientist.True, I now come in digital versions, through Twitter and Facebook and other platforms, but the availability of those tools hasn't stopped people from inviting me to speak in person. Digital Alan seems to increase the appetite for human Alan, just as Spotify (a digital music service) can increase the demand for a musician's live performances.Thanks to technology, many goods and services are cheaper, better and more accessible than ever before. We like our mass-produced bread, and our on-tap lectures and our automated FitBit advice. But automation hasn't killed the artisan bakery (面包店). Online courses haven't killed the booming, alongside their machine equivalents.Here's a third argument for the win. We humans have learned the habit of civilization. Let me explain this point by a story. A few years go, some researchers set out to study the way the people interact with robots. They sent out a small robot to patrol (巡逻) the local mall. That robot had a terrible time, and the villains of the story were children. They kicked him, bullied him, and smacked (掌击) him in the head.The point is not that the children were violent. The point is that the adults were not. They restrained whatever primitive impulse (冲动) they might have felt in childhood to smack something smaller and weaker in the head, because they had absorbed the habit of living together. We call it civilization. If we want artificial intelligence for the people, we'll need every bit of that civilizing instinct.Together, these points suggest to me that humanity has a powerful competitive edge. We can coexist with our increasingly capable machines and we can make space for the full breadth of human talents to flourish. （1）What's humans' second advantage according to the author?A.Our special personality.B.Our super intelligence.C.Our unique existence.D.Our language ability.（2）What's the author's attitude towards Spotify and FitBit?A.Negative.B.Doubtful.C.Grateful.D.Reserved.（3）Why does the author tell the story of a small robot?A.To prove humans are well-educated.B.To show children are naughty in nature.C.To suggest machines will become violent.D.To indicate machines can serve humans well.（4）What's the author's final conclusion about humans and machines?A.Both sides would be losers in the fight.B.Humans will completely defeat machines.C.Machines will replace humans in many fields.D.Humans and machines will live in harmony with each other.4.阅读理解One of the most firmly established idea of manliness is that a real man doesn't cry. Although he might shed a tear at a funeral, he is expected to quickly regain control. Sobbing openly is for girls. One study found that women cry significantly more than men do—five times as often, on average, and almost twice as long per period.Historically, however, men routinely wept, and no one saw it as shameful. For example, in the Middle Ages, knights cried purely because they missed their girlfriends. In The Knight of the Cart, no less a hero than Lancelotweeps at a brief separation from Guinevere. There's no mention of the men in these stories trying to restrain or hide their tears. They cry in a crowded hall with their heads held high. Nor do their companions make fun of this public crying; it's universally regarded as an admirable expression of feeling.So where did all the male tears go? The most obvious possibility is that this shift is the result of changes as we moved from an agricultural society to one that was urban(城市的) and industrial. In the Middle Ages, most people spent their lives among those they had known since birth. If men cried, they did so with people who would sympathize. But from the 18th to 20th centuries, the population became increasingly urbanize, and people were living in the midst of thousands of strangers. Furthermore, changes in the economy required men to work together in factories and offices where emotional expressions and even private conversations were discouraged as time wasting.Yet human beings weren't designed to swallow their emotions, and there's reason to believe that holding back tears can be harmful to your well-being. Research from the 1980s has suggested a relationship between stress-related illnesses and inadequate crying. Weeping is also, somewhat related with happiness and wealth. Countries where people cry the most tend to be richer and more confident.（1）In history, people considered it ________ for men to cry in public.A.manlyB.acceptableC.shamefulD.ridiculous（2）How does the author answer the question raised in paragraph 3?A.By making comparisons.B.By explaining effects.C.By offering descriptions.D.By giving definitions (定义).（3）Who is likely to be healthier according to the passage?A.Tony who lives alone and seldom expresses himself.B.Emily who is outgoing but sometimes sobs in public.C.Arthur who is under great stress but never shed a tear.D.Rebecca who sometimes cries but quickly regain control.二、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（共1题；共10分）5.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。

It aimed to provide students like me with a glimpse into diverse professions.My journey began at a local hospital, where I shadowed as a diligent nurse for a day. Witnessing her interactions with patients, meticulous care, and swift decision-making, I gained a deeper understanding of the immense responsibility and compassion required in this noble profession. It was an eye-opening experience that left me grateful for the healthcare workers who tirelessly save lives.This practical experience transformed me, increasing my knowledge and igniting ambition. I’m thankful to our school for organizing such a meaningful program and excited for future opportunities.第二节（满分25分）【参考范文】Version 1:Paragraph 1:Inspired by his own Life story, David decided to do something for that boy. He walked towards the woman and asked politely, “Hello Madam. What's wrong with your son?” Though surprised by a stranger's question, the woman seemed still angry with the boy. She replied, “He can't do anything well. I'm disappointed at my stupid son.” “Really? Madam, would you mind listening to my story?” Giving him a doubtful glance, the woman nodded, wondering what this strange man would say. David gave a detailed account of what happened to him at school and how Mrs. Brown changed his life by giving him positive feedback. Finally, David said, “Madam, believe in your son and he will succeed in the end.”Paragraph 2:The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized what mistakes she had made in treating her son. Shyly, she said, “Thank you for your advice. I will never hurt my son's confidence by saying negative things to him, I`ll pay more attention to his strengths, encouraging him to be confident.” Then away the mother and her son, who kept silent all the time but now was happy very much.（166 words)Version 2 :Inspired by his own Life story, David decided to do something for that boy. Нe went to the woman, who immediately recognized him because she had read his books and seen his pictures. David started to chat with her. He told her that what she said to her boy was not appropriate. Then he told her about the encouragement he once got from Mrs Brown. Іn the end, he said, "І couldn't have become a writer if І had believed І was good at nothing."The mother was ashamed when she heard that. She realized that she shouldn't have called her son stupid, which would make him lose confidence in himself. So she said, "Thank you for your advice. I'll never say such things to him again. Instead, I'll find out what he's good at and encourage him." The woman then left with the boy. Looking at the back of the boy, David felt relieved, hoping his action could make some difference to the boy.。

You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, you friends will help you; when you work hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋转的) door: when it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.36. What kind of people can enjoy happiness according the passage?A. Only those who have cars.B. Only those who have their own happiness.C. Only those who have big houses.D. Only those who have a lot of money.37. When you fall down in a PE class, both your teacher and your classmates will _______.A. laugh at youB. play jokes on youC. quarrel with youD. help you up38. What will your friends say to you when you make great progress?A. Oh, so do I.B. Congratulations!C. Good luck!D. It's just so-so.39. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. People who have cars would never like to walk in the open air.B. You can get help from others when you make mistakes.C. You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.D. Happiness is always around you though difficulties come towardsyou.BI grew up in a small town. My father raised chickens and ran a construction company. I was only 10 years old when my dad gave me the responsibility of feeding the chickens and cleaning up the coop. He believed it was important for me to have those jobs to learn responsibility. Then, when I was 22, I found a job in Natchbill at a country music club called the Natchbill Palace. I washed dishes and cooked from 4:00 pm to 9:00 pm and then went on to sing until 2:00 in the morning. It wasn’t long before I became known as a singing cook.I had been rejected so many times by record companies that it was hard not to be discouraged. One night, a woman executive (主管) from a company named Warner Brothers Records came to hear me sing. When the show was over, we sat down and talked, and after she left, I said to myself it was one more rejection. A few weeks later, my manager received a phone call —Warner Brothers Records wanted to sign a record deal with me. Soon after, I released my first record in June 1986. It sold over 2 million copies.My best efforts have gone into every job I’ve ever held.It was the sense of responsibility that made me feel like a man. Knowing that I had done my best filled me with pride. I still feel that way today, even though I have become a well-known singer.40. The main purpose of the writer’s dad by letting him feed thechickens and clean up the coop was ____________.A. to let him learn responsibilityB. to let him earn his own livingC. to let him help with the companyD. to let him spend his spare time(注意：从41题开始，把选项答在答题纸上)41.

Because he liked singing better than cooking.42. ________ first recognized his talents and helped to make his career successful.A. Warner’s brotherB. His managerC. His fatherD. A woman executive43. What made the writer proud of himself?A. His ability to live independently.B. His sense of responsibility in whatever he did.C. His courage in the face of rejections.D. His hard work in his early years.CDown-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher,for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.44. If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.A. is down to the earthB. is easy to deal withC. always thinks he is more important than othersD. is confident45. If a person has both feet on the ground, he ____.A. is in touch with reality, and doesn’t have any dream sB. has some dreams but he is realisticC. is honest, open and easy to deal withD. is honest, open but hard to deal with46. From the second paragraph, we know that sharp words from ateacher can usually ________.A. help a student get down to the earthB. wake a student upC. help a daydreaming student come down to the groundD. help a daydreaming student to become more realistic47. The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” mostprobably means that ______.A. the person who has his nose in the air is not trueB. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligentC. the opposite direction is always wrongD. a person who has both feet on the ground may not bedown-to-earthDMost Americans believe that someone isn’t grown-up until the age of 26 and they should complete their education, have a full-time job, have a family to support and be financially independent. They also believe that becoming a real grown-up is a process which begins at about the age of 20 and takes about five years, according to the report from the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center.The findings are based on a representative sample of 1,398 people over the age of 18 who were surveyed in person. The survey found thatpeople expect the transitions to grown-up status to be completed at the following ages: age 20.9 self-supporting; age 21.1 no longer living with parents; age 21.2 having a full-time job; age 22.3 education completed; age 24.5 being able to support a family financially; age 25.7 getting married; and age 26.2 having a child.“There is a large degree of agreement across social groups on the relative importance of the seven transitions,” said Tom Smith, director of the survey. The only obvious pattern of differences is on views about supporting a family, having children and getting married. Older adults consider these more important than younger adults do. This probably shows in large part a change in values across generations away from traditional family values. The most valued step toward reaching adulthood, the survey found, is completing education, followed by full-time employment, supporting a family, financial independence, living independently, and marriage.48. According to the first paragraph, someone is a grown-up when he_______.A. has found a full-time jobB. has finished his study in universityC. can make money and support himself after completing hiseducationD. can support a family and be financially independent aftergraduation49. A young man of 24 may be busy ________.A. finding a jobB. finding a girl friendC. making moneyD. preparing for his wedding50.
