AOn Friday, Shannon Grimm noticed that a 5-year-old girl, Priscilla, in her kindergarten class was really sad and depressed at school, because she was teased by some students, who said that her short hair made her look like a boy.“What is a better way to show them that you can look any way and still be true to yourself than to cut my own hair 〞Grimm said to herself. After thinking deeply, she decided to cheer the student up by showing support, so she chopped〔剪〕her waist-length brown hair into the same pixie cut〔精灵短发〕as Priscilla's.Walking into a grocery store or other public places with her new haircut did make Grimm feel awkward. However, she said the temporary discomfort was worth it because she was able to help Priscilla feel better about her appearance. “I don't want my students to ever feel like their confidence is down because of the way people look at them and say things to them.〞Grimm said.At a school meeting last week, the little girl Priscilla presented Grimm with a medal for being her hero during a difficult time. More important to Grimm, her creative way works out.“Who's beautiful 〞Grimm asked Priscilla later. “Me.〞the girl responded with a smile.Although Grimm said she missed her long hair, she said the experience had allowed her to better understand Priscilla's feelings. “Sometimes you just have to experience it. You have to teach them and show them that you're there for them.〞Her hair will grow back, but Grimm said she hopes to give a more lasting lesson to her students.〞It doesn't matter what haircut you have,〞she said. “You're beautiful no matter what.〞1. What made Priscilla teased by her classmatesA. Her ugly face.B. Her low grades.C. Her rude manners.D. Her boyish hairstyle.2. How did Grimm help PriscillaA. By cutting her own hair.B. By presenting Priscilla medal.C. By praising Priscilla in class.D. By criticizing Priscilla's classmates.3. Why did the little girl answer that she was beautifulA. She became a hero.B. She regained confidence.C. She deserved long hair.D. She had a heroic teacher.4. What can be a suitable title for the textA. A depressed little girl.B. A crying little girl.C. Short hair, more sadness.D. Short hair, loving heart.BRecently, I started my first day of high school. I was panicking because I knew ninth grade would have higher expectations than eighth, and I wasn’t sure how I would do at taking on that challenge. The one thing that kept me calm was that my best friend is actually at my new school, so I have someone to talk to.My friend and I took the bus together and we talked the whole way there about how we thought the first day would turn out. When we entered the school, everyone was hugging and saying hi and I was awkwardly standing there and holding onto my friend’s bag through the crowd of people. When my friend and I had to separate, I didn’t want to go to class. When I did, I awkwardly stood at the door because I had no idea where to sit. I sat in the way back. My teacher seemed friendly so I was a little calm.Movies make high school seem cool. But from what I’ve seen, that’s not true. Everyone seems so friendly. My teachers seemed really nice and not scary or mean. My math teacher had a lot of energy, and my history teacher made jokes the whole time. They told us about the high expectations for their school and I was kind of worried because I came from a school where I didn’t have too much work or high expectation s. While getting from class to class Iwas freaking out because I had no idea where to go. But it wasn’t that hard to find my classrooms after I asked someone.Overall, my first day wasn’t really what I expected. I expected strict teachers and work harder than I could take. I haven’t been in school too long, but so far the work has not been as hard as I expected. There was a lot of homework in the past few days. I didn’t think I could do this every night. It was really stressful for me to do it because I had little free time those nights. Even though there are a lot of challenges for me, I’m still only getting used to it.5. Why did the author “hold onto my friend’s bag〞in Paragraph 2A. Because only by this could he remove his confusion and fear.B. Becau se he was helpless and didn’t know what to do at that moment.C. Because he felt a bit curious about his new school and new classmates.D. Because he was so attached to his friend that he was unwilling to be separated.6. What does the underlined word “fre aking out〞in Paragraph 3 meanA. adventurousB. anxiousC. stressedD. impressed7. Which of the following statement is trueA. The author felt desperate about the first day of school.B. The author had difficulty adapting to new environment.C. Nice and friendly teachers calmed and attracted the author.D. The life of high school is the same as the author’s expectation.CIt's not easy to grow up. Actually, it's far from easy. Growing up can be a real “pain〞for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel trapped, sometimes we are fearful, and sometimes we just don't understand why we can't stay young forever. When we look back on all the hardships in life with a positive attitude, we realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains！As a young girl my parents forced my sisters and me to do so many things that I never liked.They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has enriched my life in so many ways. I realize that my parents and teachers were always pushing me along, not because they wanted me to suffer but because they wanted me to succeed in life. They've always wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.Every moment of our lives we are either living or dying, so live life to its fullest！We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just small pains in life. They might seem so huge at the time but we must be strong. Think about how we would feel if we had no fear and live life like that.The future is ours！A little hard work and sweat never hurt anyone！If we realize that these pains are just small bumps〔凸块〕on our road to success we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains！8. According to Paragraph 1, we learn that when we are young ______________.A. life is full of joyB. life is easy for usC. we know we can stay young foreverD. we sometimes can't do things we like9. When the author was young, she was forced by her parents to _____________.A. take music lessonsB. turn gains into painsC. look back on hardshipsD. live a successful life by suffering a lot10. What can be inferred from the last paragraphA. Growing pains are necessary for us to grow up.B. We all have to experience growing pains.C. A little hard work and sweat are harmful to us.D. Life without fear is a better choice for us.第二节〔共5小题；每题2分，总分值10分〕按照短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

2020-2021学年浙江诸暨中学高一下学期期中英语试卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “ Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late Apr il.Liz Murray，a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “ What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others such as a safe living environment, to encourage her self that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they loved me all the time.”Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.1．The main idea of the passage is __________ .A．how Liz managed to enter Harvard UniversityB．What a hard time Liz had in her childhoodC．why Liz loved her parents so muchD．how Liz struggled to change her life2．In which order did the following things happen to Liz ?a. Her mother died of AIDS.b. She worked at a petrol station.c. She got admission into Harvard University.d. The movie about her life was put on.e. She had trouble about finding a place to sleep.A．b, a , e , c, d B．a , b , c , e , dC．e , d, b , a , c D．b , e , a , d , c3．What actually made her go towards her goal?A．Envy and encouragement.B．Willpower and determination .C．Decisions and understanding.D．Love and respect for her parents.4．When she wrote “What drove me to live on … I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that __________ .A．she had little experience of social life.B．she could hardly understand the society.C．she would do something for her own life.D．she needed to travel more around the world.Four people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasn’t much—a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed –the shape of DNA The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin.” She should have been up there,” says historian（历史学家）Mary Bowden.” If her photos hadn’t been there, the others couldn’t have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars（学者）doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitorsAt Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’s College inLondon, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant .But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from the solution.”No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA . She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.5．What is the text mainly about?A．The disagreements among DNA researchers.B．The unfair treatment of Franklin.C．The process of discovering DNA．D．The race between two teams of scientists.6．Watson was angry with Franklin because she .A．took the lead in the competitionB．kept her results from himC．proved some of his findings wrongD．shared her data with other scientists7．Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?A．She developed pictures in dark labs.B．She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA．C．Her name was forgotten after her death.D．Her contribution was unknown to the public.8．What is the writer’s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick?A．Disapproving. B．Respectful.C．Admiring. D．Doubtful.E-reading and e-books are slowly conquering the world. Compared to traditional paper books, e-books in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity.Japan is known for the_______attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework.The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning. It is natural but it is also completely untraditional.The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget. Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer.The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books. The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be.In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book, the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading. Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.9．Why are e-books so popular in the world?A．It’s cheap to buy.B．It’s effective to use.C．It’s convenient to bring.D．It’s the latest fashion.10．Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reform-minded” in the second paragraph?A．Old-fashioned. B．Aggressive.C．Rejecting. D．Progressive.11．In America, the students are encouraged to .A．apply the procedure of downloading the coursesB．communicate with their teachers using computersC．research some interactive software for their studiesD．do their homework in computer instead of in paper12．What’s the author’s attitude to the digital textbooks?A．Being against. B．Being for.C．Not mentioned. D．Being neutral.Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea. People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches.Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East India Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it.At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea. Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added. She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady that her friends thought they must copy everything she did, they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few Britons drink tea without milk.At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess（公爵夫人）found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited herfriends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born .13．This passage mainly discusses .A．the history of tea drinking in BritainB．how tea became a popular drink in BritainC．how the Britons got the habit of drinking teaD．how tea-time was born14．Tea became a popular drink in Britain .A．in the sixteenth centuryB．in the seventeenth centuryC．in the eighteenth centuryD．in the late seventeenth century15．We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of .A．a famous French ladyB．the ancient ChineseC．the upper(上层的) social classD．people in Holland二、完形填空完型填空Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time.

Your interests are increasing. 36．Here is the challenge: Kids need to explore the world in new ways, and parents need to protect them from the dangers that are all out in that world. These conflicts can easily set off fireworks in otherwise calm houses. Sometimes conflicts can’t be avoided. But by paying attention to the building blocks of successful relationships, you can work towards making home a happy and healthy place for you and your parents.For example, try to find a time to talk when your parents are not angry, tired, distracted or hungry. A good time to talk is when you’re all relaxed. Timing is everything. If the convers ation begins to turn into an argument, you’d better calmly and coolly ask to stop the conversation for now. 37．Listen to what your parents are saying, and repeat it back to them. This shows them that you’re listening. 38．Respect is the building block of good communication. People who respect each other and care about each others’ feelings can disagree without getting things ugly. 39．How do you build trust? Trust comes by actually doing what you say you’re going to do. Some teens find that doing fun activities with their parents can improve their relationships.

2020-2021学年浙江省绍兴市诸暨中学高三英语期中考试试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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ASwimming Holes in AmericaIn America, these secret swimming holes are hidden and hard to reach but well worth the adventure.Cummins FallsLooking for the best place to escape the summer heat in the heartland of America? For more than 100 years, Cummins Falls, a scenic,75-foot waterfall located in Jackson County, TN, has been a treasure for Tennessee natives. But now, the secret is out! Although it’s a bit tough to get to, once in the park, the mountains and river provide unmatched beauty on your way to taking a swim in Tennessee's eighth-largest waterfall.Sliding RockA popular place to cool off during those hot North Carolina summers, Sliding Rock waterfall is located in the Pisgah National Forest in Transylvania County. A flattened rock about 60 feet lies in a nearly 7-foot-deep pool at the bottom, making this natural waterslide a great place to visit with people of all ages.Mooney FallsIt is the tallest water feature in the Grand Canyon, rising 190 feet above the surface. Named after an explorer in the 1800s, Mooney Falls is accessible only by crawling（爬）through 2 underground passages and then climbing down a sheer cliff（峭壁）face with just a couple of chains to hold on to. Although it is tough to get to, the view and the cool alone make it worth the trip.Lihue EstateA private swimming hole at the old Lihue Sugar Farm on Kauai, HI, was changed into an inner-tube water ride by Kauai Backcountry Adventures in 2003 and opened to adults. The waters for this 2.5-mile journey, which come from near the top of Mount Waialeale—one of the wettest spots in the world—are channeled through ditches（沟渠）that were hand-dug by farm workers over a century ago.1. Which hole may be the favourable destination for families?A. Lihue Estate.B. Sliding Rock.C. Mooney Falls.D. Cummins Falls.2. What can we learn about Mooney Falls from the text?A. It wasfound by an explorer.B. It was hand-dug in the 1800s.C. It is dangerous to arrive there.D. It is the tallest fall in the world.3. What is special about Lihue Estate?A. It is man-made.B. It is a private area.C. Its water is from underground.D. It lies on the top of Mount WaialealeBMy school appeared on the news last week because we had made an important change in our local area. Our class had planted a large garden in what was once only a vacant lot. It was a lot of work but it was all worth it. I got blisters(水泡) from digging, and we all got insect bites, too.I learned a lot about gardening and collaboration(合作), and then I learned about the media. Our teacher telephoned the TV station and informed them of what we had accomplished. She spoke with the producer. The producer checked with the directors, but they said there were plenty of stories similar to ours. They wanted to know what was special about our particular garden, since many schools plant them.The teacher explained that, after going on the Internet to learn about the prairie(大草原), we had made a prairie garden. We had gone to a prairie and gotten seeds from the plants, and then we planted them. We did not water the garden, but we did weed it. We decided to let nature water it with rain, since that was how prairies grew in the past. We sent a picture of the garden to the news station. In the picture, the grass was so high that it stood taller than the fourth grade students.As a result, the producer sent a reporter to our school. He interviewed the headmaster and asked him many questions about the garden. After that, they interviewed us, and we explained to them what we had learned through this project.That night, we watched the news, and there we were. The news reporter told our story. It was only two minutes long, but it was us. We were famous. All that work, all those blisters, it was worth it. We knewthatwhen we saw the garden every day, but now we knew that the whole city thought so, too.4. What seemed to be the TV directors’ initial reaction to the garden?A. They were excited.B. They were surprised.C. They were worried.D. They were uninterested.5. What is special about the garden?A. Weeds were allowed to spread naturally.B. The grass grew faster than common grass.C. The seeds came from the plants of a prairie.D. Underground water was used for the plants.6. What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the last paragraph?A. We got blisters on our hands.B. Our hard work was worthwhile.C. The garden would be famous.D. The project would be finished.7. How did the author feel about the project?A. Annoyed.B. Curious.C. Proud.D. Regretful.CConcrete is the world's most consumed material after water. Because it already surrounds us in the built environment, researchers have been exploring the idea of using concrete to store electricity—turning buildings into giant batteries. The idea has been gaining ground as we have come to increasingly rely on renewable energy from the wind and sun: rechargeable batteries are necessary when the breeze dies down or darkness falls.Experimental concrete batteries have only managed to hold a small part of what a traditional battery does. But one team now reports in Buildings that it has developed a rechargeable original model that could represent a more than 900 percent increase in stored charge, compared with earlier attempts.A live-in concrete battery might sound unlikely. Still, "you can make a battery out of a potato," notes Aimee Byrne. In a future where sustainability is key, she likes the idea of buildings that avoid waste by providing shelter and powering electronics.Although the new design stores more than 10 times as much power as earlier attempts, it still has a long way to go: 200 square meters of it "can provide about 8 percent of the daily electricity consumption" of a typical U.S. home, Zhang says.This is not enough to compete with today's rechargeable devices. "We're getting milliamps (毫安) out of concrete batteries—we're not getting amps (安培), "Byrne says." We're getting hours as opposed to days of charge." But she adds that" concrete batteries are completely in their childhood, compared to other battery designs." The earliest batteries were simple andbulky. Researchers experimented with new materials and designs for more than a century to develop today's small devices. Byrne suggests concrete-based energy storage could undergo a similar evolution. "The whole idea is that we're looking far into the future," she says. "We're playing the long game with it."8. What can we learn about the concrete batteries?A. They become increasingly renewable.B. They are the most consumed batteries.C. They are being developed by researchers.D. They will replace energy from the wind and sun.9. Why does Byrne mention a battery out of a potato?A. To show it is easy to build concrete batteries.B. To argue it is possible to develop concrete batteries.C. To make her statement more interesting.D. To call on people to protect the environment.10. What does the underlined word "bulky" in Paragraph 5 mean?A. HeavyB. CheapC. EfficientD. Small.11. What doesByrne think of concrete batteries?A. They beat today's rechargeable devices.B. They are simple and bulky.C. They have a doubtful future.D. They have a long way to go.DAmerica---that glorious symbol of multiculturalism, the great melting pot---qualifies as part of the developed world, right? Not quite, if we consider the state of second language learning in schools across the country. According to a 2018 study, Europe often tops the U.S. in foreign language education in school. 92% of European students are learning a foreign language in school. In America it’s only 20%. In more than 20 European countries, studying a foreign language for at least one year is compulsory. In comparison, only 10 states and D.C. require learning a foreign language for graduation.I went to a public school in Pennsylvania that ranked onNewsweek’s list of America’s top high schools in 2015. Foreign language learning was not a graduation requirement. A common response to such stories and statistics is: So what? Why should Americans care about learning another language when English has recently seemed to dominate as the official language of the world?The world is globalizing faster than we can imagine. More than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language. It is also increasingly becoming the need for success in this globalizing world. Having the ability to speak a second language opens up the possibility of travelling and immersing yourself in another part of the world. This means people can feel other cultures, and traditions in places you were previously kept away because you could not communicate in the language.The teaching of foreign languages can be instrumental in bringing about peace and unity in the country we live in. Learning a second language can be an efficient vehicle to help to bridge communities. To speak another language means having access to a universe of different experiences and world views of another community ofpeople.12. Why does the writer mention Europe?A. America makes studying a foreign language compulsory.B. America is the glorious symbol of multiculturalism.C. America isn’t really qualified as the developed world.D. America doesn’t focus on foreign language education13. What is American’s attitude towards education of foreign languages?A. Less concerned.B. More worried.C. Quite doubtful.D. Very supportive.14. What can visiting people do if they can speak the language where they visit?A. Make the world globalizing.B. Achieve success in business.C. Experience people’s real life there.D. Keep away their own culture.15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A. Using a second language can bring harmony.B. Communities of people enjoy the great views.C. Speaking another language is reallynecessary.D. Learning a second language can be difficult.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。

浙江省诸暨中学2020-2021学年高一下学期期中考试英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读选择Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance. These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection.Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein). Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质). The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants. As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C．When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”. For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter. Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze. If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown. Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer.If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit. Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away. This makes a fun activity for a children’s party; they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below.1．What does the author seem to like about cherries?A．They contain protein. B．They are high in vitamin A．C．They have a pleasant taste. D．They are rich in antioxidants.2．Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?A．To make them smell better. B．To keep their colour.C．To speed up their ripening. D．To improve their nutrition.3．What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?A．A dessert. B．A drink.C．A container. D．A machine.4．From which is the text probably taken?A．A biology textbook. B．A health magazine.C．A research paper. D．A travel brochure.The Nobel Prize is considered one of the most recognizable and admirable awards possible, honoring people of the world for their outstanding achievements in different fields.Alfred Nobel was born in 1833 to a family of engineers in Stockholm, Sweden. Nobel as a young man studied with Nikolai Zinin, a well-known chemist. In 1850, he met Ascanio Sobrero, the inventor of nitroglycerin (炸药) in Paris. Interested in its unpredictable nature of exploding under pressure or heat, Nobel started to find a way to control it and make a usable explosive(炸药). In 1857 he applied for his first patent (专利), an English patent for a gas meter. After years of efforts, in 1867, at the age of 34, Nobel invented dynamite(炸药), which is much easier and safer to control than nitroglycerin. Dynamite was an immediate business success and it was patented in the US and the UK and was widely used in mining.During his lifetime, Nobel invented and patented various explosives. He built up his wealth from his 355 inventions, from which dynamite was the most important.When Alfred’s brother Ludwig died in 1888, a French newspaper mistakenly published Alfred’s obituary (讣告). Reading his own obituary, Nobel was disappointed to find out his public image(形象). The newspaper strongly blamed(责备) Nobel for inventing dynamite, giving him the nickname of “the merchant of death” and saying “Dr. Alfred Nobel, who became ri ch by finding ways to kill more people faster than ever before, died yesterday.”To Alfred, this obituary was a warning. He spent his lifetime alone inventing things and was deeply concerned with how he would be remembered. This unfortunate event inspired him to make changes in his will(遗嘱), so as to improve his public image, and to be remembered for a good cause.In 1895, one year before his death, Nobel made the last will, saying clearly that his wealth would be used to create a series of prizes for those who have made great contributions to mankind in physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature, and peace. To widespread astonishment, Dr. Alfred Nobel gave away 94% of his total wealth to found the five Nobel Prizes.5．According to paragraph 2, w hat led to Nobel’s outstanding achievements?A．The valuable help from his family.B．The strong desire to make money.C．His lifetime dream of achieving success.D．His great curiosity and devotion to science.6．What was Alfred Nobel’s attitude towards the newspaper’s obituary?A．Upset. B．SupportiveC．Optimistic D．Satisfied7．Why did Nobel give away most of his wealth to set up the Nobel Foundation?A．To publish his findings of scientific research.B．To improve his public image.C．To be remembered as the “Merchant of Death”.D．To prove the importance of his inventions.Several recent studies examined how machine automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will change the future of work.Some people predict these technologies could replace up to 30 percent of workers worldwide by 2030. The possibility of being replaced will greatly increase for workers with less education, said Price Waterhouse Coopers, an international company providing financial and tax services. It estimated(估计) that in Britain, up to 46 percent of workers without a college degree could be in danger because of automation. This would drop to about 12 percent for workers with undergraduate degrees or higher.“New smart machines have the hidden power to replace our minds and to move around fr eely in the world,” the study said. It added that the greatest job replacement is expected to come in the areas of transportation, storage, manufacturing (制造业)and retail（零售）.The Rand Corporation recently published its own report on the future effects of automation and AI on jobs and the workplace. Osonde Osoba was a co-author of the report. He noticed that fears over machines taking jobs from humans goes back centuries. He agrees there will be major job disruptions(混乱) because of AI and automation, especially for lower skilled workers. But he believes the future problems have been overestimated(高估) without historical evidence to support the predictions. “It’s not so much that the jobs are getting replaced, but it’s more like tasks are getting replaced and jobs are reconfiguring(重新装备) over time to account for that automation.” He added that it will be very difficult for companies to completelyautomate most jobs, because they request a worker to perform many different duties and to respond to unexpected situations.“If you are thinking about detailed things an individual(个人) might do to prepare themselves, I guess being more adaptable and being able to reeducate yourself to fit into a different job.” Osonde Osoba suggests.8．According to the whole passage, _________are most likely to lose their job? A．scientists in laboratories B．teachers in colleges and universities C．milkmen in milk companies D．officers in governments9．Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?A．Companies have completely automated most jobs for saving cost.B．Humans have feared to be replaced by AI and automation.C．The job replacement has come in transportation and retail.D．People with high degrees get higher danger of losing jobs than those with no college degree. 10．What do you think is the best title of the passage?A．Future workers: what to do to keep the job.B．Job replacement: who is to blame.C．Automation and AI: how to replace the future job.D．New studies: why the future job is replaced.二、七选五You know that overnight success usually takes at least 10 years? One man said, “My overnight success was the longest night of my life, I spent many days and nights just getting there.”11．Many people are waiting for their ship to come in---when they’ve not even sent it out of the harbor(海港). You see, winners simply do what losers don’t want to do. 12．Success is mostly just hanging on after others have let go! So the most important trip you’ll make is when you go the extra mile.Many people who have failed do not know how close they are to success when they give up. 13．One guy said, “The secret to success is to start from doing and to keep on doing.” So don’t give up because your trying times are hard.14．If we keep doing, we can gain almost anything we want. The American President Calvin Coolidge said, “Nothing can bring success like persistence(坚持). Talent can’t, for there are many talented people who are not successful. 15．Only persistence and determination cangive you the power to succeed.” You see, you can succeed just like anyone else, just keep wanting it enough and to keep working for it enough. So why not decide it today to start going the extra mile on the road to your success?A．They don’t ac tually fail; they just give up too easily.B．They made all the efforts without any results.C．Remember, “Rome was not built in a day.”D．Education can’t, for the world is full of educated losers.E.And they keep doing it till they get the success they want.F.Never forget, it is persistence that matters.G.Give it all you’ve got and you can never fail.三、完形填空I was looking at some photo albums(相册) today.
