Spending up to five nights a week on the road can be a lonely business, leaving him with plenty of time to notice his surroundings. “I kept seeing more rubbish everywhere and it was getting on my nerves. I decided I had to do something about it,” he says. One day, he stopped his vehicle, took out a trash bag and started picking up the garbage. The satisfaction after clearing a small area was remarkable.Before his time on the road, Burrows spent over two decades in the military as a vehicle driver. His service saw him stationed throughout Europe and also on tours in Afghanistan. After returning to civilian life, he was diagnosed with PTSD（创伤后应激障碍）and had a mental health crisis in 2017. His involvement in fundraising for Help for Heroes led him to meet a man who used model-building as a distraction from PTSD. Burrows realized that his act of roadside cleanup had a similar calming effect on his mental well-being.By 2019, Burrows had begun using his free time on the road to regularly clean up garbage. A passerby encouraged him to set up a Facebook group, which he called Truckers Cleaning Up Britain. “I was worried I'd be the laughing stock of my town for putting videos and photos up of me cleaning but people started to join,” he says. “I was amazed. The local council stepped in and gave me litter-picking supplies and we're up to almost 3,000 members now.”Since truckers are so often on the move, the Facebook page acts as a means of raising awareness rather than a platform for organizing cleanups. Burrows expressed his intention to continue the cleanup efforts as long as his physical condition allowed, as he still found joy in the process.4. What initially caused Burrows to pick up roadside garbage?A. He wanted to kill time by picking up litter.B. He aimed to raise fund for soldiers with PTSD.C. He felt annoyed to see the increasing rubbish.D. He received the assignment from his employer.5. How did collecting roadside garbage affect Burrows' PTSD?A. It resulted in his embarrassment.B. It increased his sense of isolation.C. It worsened his stress and anxiety.D. It brought him comfort and relief.6. What concerned Burrows when he started Truckers Cleaning Up Britain?A. He feared being teased for his action.B. He was lacking in advanced cleanup tools.C. He was unsure about the group's development.D. He worried about the local council's disapproval.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. A Joyful V olunteer ExperienceB. A Trucker's Cleanup InitiativeC. A Fighting Hero against PTSDD. A Platform for EnvironmentalistsCWhen most people think of drones（无人机）, they think of technology and fun. Safe to say, few people would think about farming. However, a group of students from York College of Pennsylvania have been building a drone that will not only help local farmers but the environment, as well.Samantha Gotwalt and Blayde Reich, two senior Mechanical Engineering majors at York College in the group, both found the work to be quite fascinating. According to Samantha, the idea came from a York College professor, who has worked with drones, and wanted to get students involved with a project beneficial to the community. “We really want to help farming and agriculture. I's super-important to America and our economy,” Blayde says. “We want to help the smaller farmers, and one of the perks is not having to spend their money on fertilizer and pesticides（杀虫剂）.”The idea is to design and build a drone that will take video imagery of the fields to determine what is needed to produce the best crop, while saving money and sparing the environment by reducing pollutants in the water runoff . Ideally, that data gained will help the farmers better determine what chemicals they need and what they don't.However, finding the right equipment for the project was a challenge, starting with what drone the team would design for this particular usage. Samantha says she researched durability and control of drones to help make the proper determination.“We are flying over the field and we want to have enough efficiency and go relatively slow enough that our pictures turn out well and fly low enough that it is not using up all of its power,” she says. “The fields are a couple hundred acres（英亩）, so you need your drone to be able to fly the length of that field.”Blayde says the team continues to learn a great deal of information that will help the farmers and the environment.8. What does the underlined word “perks” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. challenges.B. features.C. benefits.D. solutions.9. What particular usage is the drone designed for?A. Spreading proper quantities of pesticides.B. Helping to determine the chemicals needed.C. Assisting to monitor the state of crops.D. Measuring the areas of the fields.10. What technical issue of the drone shall be tackled?A. Its camera capacity.B. Its data collection ability.C. Its durability and control.D. Its material and efficiency.11. What can best describe the students?A. Disciplined and realistic.B. Experienced and reliable.C. Humble and reserved.D. Responsible and creative.DAi-Da sits behind a desk, a paintbrush in her hand. She looks up at the person posing for her, and then back down as she applies another drop of paint onto the canvas（画布）. A lifelike portrait is taking shape. If you didn't know a robot produced it, this portrait could pass as the work of a human artist.Ai-Da produces portraits of sitting subjects using a robotic hand attached to her lifelike figure. She's also able to talk, giving detailed answers to questions about her artistic process and attitudes towards technology. She even gave a TEDx talk titled “The Intersection of Art and AI” in Oxford several years ago. Ai-Da's creators have also been experimenting with having her write and perform her own poetry.But how are we to interpret Ai-Da's output? Should we consider her paintings and poetry original and creative? Are these works actually art?What discussions about AI and creativity often overlook is the fact that creativity isn't an absolute quality that can be defined, measured and reproduced objectively. When we describe an object—for instance, a child's drawing—as being creative, we project our own assumptions about culture onto it. Indeed, art never exists in isolation. It always needs someone to give it “art” status. And the criteria for whether you think something is art are formed by both your expectations and broader cultural conceptions.If we extend this line of thinking to AI, it follows that no Al application or robot can objectively be “creative”. It is always we—humans—that decide whether works created by AI are art.Some may see robot-produced paintings as something coming from creative computers, while others may be skeptical, given the fact that robots act on clear human instructions. In any case, attribution（归属）of creativity never depends on technical arrangement alone—no computer is objectively creative. Rather, the attribution of computational creativity is largely inspired by contexts of reception. Through particular social information, some people are inspired to think of AI output as art, systems as artists, and computers as creators. Therefore, as with any piece of art, your appreciation of AI output ultimately depends on your own interpretation.12. What can we learn about Ai-Da?A. She has a complex many-sided personality.B. She beat others in the debate on art and ALC. She is capable of drawing high-quality portraits.D. She can write poems without being programmed.13. What fact do discussions about AI and creativity often ignore?A. That art is content-based.B. That art can take many forms.C. That creativity is closely related to cultures.D. That creativity is often measured subjectively.14. What idea does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?A. Every coin has two sides.B. Great minds think alike.C. Four eyes see more than two.D. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Is AI-created Art Really Art?B. Will People Accept AI Artists?C. Can We Use Al to Create Portraits?D. Do We Need to Improve AI's Creativity?第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.6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。

limitations live independently in their own homes.The Robot Activity Support System,or RAS,uses sensors installed in a WSU smart home to determine where its residents are,what they are doing and when they need assistance with dailyactivities.It navigates（定位）through rooms and around obstacles to find people on its own, provides video instructions on how to do simple tasks and can even lead its owner to objects like their medication or a snack in the kitchen.“RAS combines the convenience of a mobile robot with the activity detection technology of a WSU smart home to provide assistance in the moment,as the need for help is detected,”said Bryan Minor,a postdoctoral researcher in the WSU School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.Currently,an estimated50percent of adults over the age of85need assistance with every day activities such as preparing meals and taking medication and the annual cost for this assistance in the US is nearly$2trillion.With the number of adults over85expected to triple by2050, researchers hope that technologies like RAS and the WSU smart home will relieve some of the financial strain on the healthcare system by making it easier for older adults to live alone.RAS is the first robot that researchers have tried to incorporate into their smart home environment.They recently published a study in the journal Cognitive Systems Research that demonstrates how RAS could make life easier for older adults struggling to live independently.“While we are still in an early stage of development,our initial results with RAS have been promising,”Minor said.“The next step in the research will be to test RAS’performance with a group of older adults to get a better idea of what prompts,video reminders and other preferences they have regarding the robot.”8.How does RAS serve elderly people?A.Through sensors.B.Through objects.C.Through a mobile robot.D.Through their daily activities.9.What can we know about RAS?A.It is the first robot used in daily life.B.Its function remains to be tested.C.It can locate people and do any task.D.It can cook for owners on its own.10.What’s Minor’s attitude toward the future of RAS?A.Doubtful.B.Negative.C.Optimistic.D.Uncertain.11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Elderly people leave the nursing home.B.Smart Home Tests first elder-Care robot.C.RAS,the first robot to make home smart.D.Older adults have benefited from RAS.DWhat kind of amusing activities will you participate in during your life?Will you be spending your free time doing safe sports with little danger or will you always be one of the first people to try the next popular extreme activity?Scientists have been interested in finding out why some people seem to prefer dangerous activities.Although there are exceptions,researchers have found that in most cases men are less cautious than women.Men often try to impress women by proving that they are courageous andfearless,and they are more likely to take risks when women are watching them or when they are competing against other men.Research also shows that as people get older they usually behave more responsibly and avoid taking unnecessary risks.In addition,when people are in stable relationships,they seem to be less attracted to daring activities.Some people seem to be more daring than others,but there are many different types of risks and some people take one type of risk,but not another.Psychologists have identified a number of categories of risk.These include financial risks,risks related to health and safety,amusing risks and social risks.Psychologists discover that some people will take risks in one area,but not in another.Just if a person enjoys bungee（蹦极）jumping,it doesn’t mean he or she will take chances when investing（投资）money or that he will tell a joke to a group of strangers.Interestingly,research shows that women take more social risks than men.They are more likely to make career changes as they get older and to express unpopular opinions in business meetings.Yet,at the end of the day,the likelihood of particular people taking a risk depends on their personalities.In general,optimistic people are more likely to take risks because they focus on the possible positive outcomes of their actions.On the other hand,those with opposite personality are much more likely to avoid taking a chance.12.Why do men try to prove they are brave according to the research?A.To attract people’s attention.B.To take on more responsibility.C.To make favorable impressions on people.D.To develop stable relationships with others.13.What does the example of bungee jumping indicate?A.People take one type of risk but not another.B.There are more than one type of risk.C.Bungee jumping is dangerous but popular.D.Some people are more courageous than others.14.What have researchers discovered about women?A.They are willing to take social risks.B.They are always changing Jobs.C.They are good at doing business.D.They are usually more conservative than men.15.What mainly determine whether people take risks possibly?A.Their personalities.B.Their financial conditions.C.Their social relationships.D.Their expectations of outcomes.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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，选项中有两项为多余选项。

长沙市雅礼书院中学2023-2024学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试卷(Word版含解析)长沙市雅礼书院中学2023-2024学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读理解When someone asks me what my goals are for the coming year, I don’t usually know how to reply. Of course I, as most people do, want to see an improvement in my grades. This year, however, I’m hoping for something different.Through the course of my school life, I’ve gradually developed a new understanding of the word “prioritization (优先次序)”. The first thing I wish to get in Senior One is the ability to manage my time better. I’ll surely become busier with the coming semester, and proper organization is important. From school clubs to academic competitions, everything should be set up in a way that doesn’t influence my health, which leads me to my second goal.My mother has always told me put my health first, so in the future, I hope to be both physically and mentally healthy. A person can’t study without the energy to do so. In order to stay energetic, they must put their health first, no matter how busy they are, or how much work theyhave to complete.And finally, I hope that I won’t be discouraged by my failure and never give up on my dreams. I hope that I’ll have the courage to try new activities and clubs. I believe my final goal can apply to every student around the world. We should all respect one another’s likes and dislikes, and focus on each other’s strengths, not our weaknesses. Everyone should try to make use of all of life’s opportunities.Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.” In my case, it’s the other way around. In order to keep moving, I must keep my balance—the balance between studies and activities, efficiency and procrastination (拖延症), academics and health, passions and dislikes. The new journey is going to be a hard one, but if I set these goals, I believe I will make it through to the end.1、During Senior One, what does the writer want to do firstA. Focus on improving her overall grades.B. Join as many school clubs as possible.C. Learn how to manage her time well.D. Spend more time on outdoor activities.2、What is the attitude of the writer towards failureA. Discouraged.B. Brave.C. Uninterested.D. Positive.3、What is the writer’s purpose of the passageA. To explain how to balance studies and activities.B. To stress the importance of health to students.C. To show what she likes about high school life.D. To share her goals for the coming school year.Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing our lives so openly with the world was unheard of. However, for young people today it is considered completely normal to share pictures of their lives and interact (互动) online every day. Fans of social media point out that the world has never been so connected as it has allowed people to make friends, learn about the world and celebrate life.However, many people have worries about the effects of this new way of living, particularly around the amount and type of information that is shared so openly. Recently researchers have found that too much time on social media may have some negative (消极的) effects. They measured people’s attitudes and feelings before and after watching social media sites. They found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they became.There are a number of reasons for this. When watching social media, people often see photographs and stories showing beautiful holidays, fun parties and fashionable clothes. People seldom post negative stories or bad pictures, so it can be misleading (误导). For those looking at these pictures and comparing them to their own lives, they can end up feelings sad and depressed. They might think their lives are worse incomparison(对比). Even for those people who post positive stories and pictures, they too can feel stressed and worried. The number of “likes” and comments on their posts can make them anxious about their popularity. Of course, there is also the problem of “cyber bullying” where people become victims (受害者) of bullying online when others make negative or cruel comments about them.The reality is that social media is a part of modern life and it is not going to go away. This research shows us that it is important to find a balance between our online and offline lives. We don’t have to disconnect from the Internet to live a happy life, but we should realise that the pictures we see and stories we read are only part of a bigger picture. If we can do that, we can protect ourselves and enjoy our lives.4、What effect does social media have according to the recent researchA. It increases unhappiness for people using it too much.B. It enables people to make more friends on the Internet.C. It helps people to have a better knowledge of the world.D. It makes people have much more wonderful lives.5、Why are people worried when they post positive storiesA. They fear others mislead their posts.B. They think others have happier lives.C. They fear others have little interest in the stories.D. They guess they may be bullied by bad people.6、How does the author develop paragraph 3A. By listing figures.B. By analyzing causes.C. By making comparison.D. By describing process.7、What is probably the best title of the passageA.Attitude is everything.B.Every coin has two sides.C.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.D.If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal.In 2023, Pink launched the World Regret Survey, the largest survey on the topic ever undertaken. With his research team, Pink asked more than 15, 000 people in 105 countries, “How often do you look back on your life and wish you had done things differently ” Most of them said regret was at least an occasional part of their life. About 21 percent said they felt regretful all the time. Only 1 percent said they never felt regretful.If you are of the “no regrets” school of life, you may think that all this regret is a recipe for unhappiness. But that isn’t the case. Letting yourself be overwhelmed by regret is indeed bad for you. But going to the other extreme may be even worse. To extinguish your regrets doesn’t free you from shame or sorrow but causes you to make the same mistakes again and again. To truly get over our guilt requires that we put regret in its proper place.Uncomfortable as it is, regret is an amazing cognitive(认知的) feature. Itrequires that you go back to a past scene. Imagine that you acted differently to change it, and with that new scene in mind, arrive at a different present-and then, compare that fictional present with the one you are experiencing in reality. Not all regrets are the same, of course. Pink says they come in four basic types, and an instance of regret may involve just one combination.Many connection regrets overlap (重叠) with moral regrets, which can come about after you go against your own values. For example, you may pride yourself on being a loving person, and thus regret not living up to this image in the relationship you harmed. Moral regrets can also involve just yourself. Maybe you regret not living up to your promise to your health when you ate a whole pizza or skipped the gym.If not analyzed(分析) and managed, any kind of regret can be harmful to your well-being. Regret is linked to depression and anxiety, and too much regret can negatively affect your immune system. But regret doesn’t have to be put aside and ignored.8、What could be concluded from Pink’s researchA. Half of the people felt regretful.B. Most people lived without regrets.C. None could live a life without regrets.D. Most of the people had regrets.9、What does the underlined word “extinguish” in paragraph 2 meanA. Destroy.B. Admit.C. Treasure.D. Experience.10、What is paragraph 4 mainly aboutA. The harm of moral regrets.B. The importance of promise.C. The relationship between regrets and values.D. The connection between reality and imagination.11、What might the author continue talking aboutA. Types of regrets.B. Causes of regrets.C. Benefits of experiencing regrets.D. Ways of dealing with regrets.二、七选五12、What if there was a way to get more out of each day While we all have the same 24 hours, how we use that time influences what we can achieve. Recent research suggests that one way to pack more into your day is to synchronize (使同步)your biological clock to your daily time-table. By doing certain things when you are most active and energetic, you might be able to improve your productivity.①_______ This works much like a program regulating the timing of many biological functions ranging from when you sleep to when you wake. You’ve probably noticed that there are certain times during the day when you feel more energetic. ②_______ Research has shown however, that your body clock is responsible for more than just your sleep-wake cycle. For instance, you may want to adjust your time-tableto make most of your mental powers.③_______ Studies suggest that cognitive(认知) abilities tend to be at their highest level during the late morning hours, so you might want to deal with those mentally demanding activities before lunch. ④_______ This is why you might find yourself struggling to focus on those work meetings after lunch.If you are working on some sort of creative task, it might be a bit different. In a study examining how the time of day influences problem solving, researchers had participants solve analytical(分析性的) problems during times when they were either at their mental best or at less effective times of tiredness. ⑤_______ Because the mind is more likely to wander(stop focusing on something) when we are tired, it seems that it can lead people to think in more innovative(创新的) ways.A.At other times, you might feel tired.B.You are probably at your sharpest in the morning.C.Knowing this might help you adapt your own time-table.D.Your biological clock controls a great deal of how you function.E.Experts also suggest that attention levels weaken following meals.F.Changing your biological clock may not be easy, but it could be beneficial.G.They found that people tend to do their best creative thinking when they are tired.三、完形填空（15空）As a child, I never considered myself an athlete at all as I was very uncoordinated(不协调的). However, I did love to run because I felt as if I was flying but this all changed two years ago when I suffered a knee 1 . I have laid in bed for two weeks and I had a 2 time moving even short distances. Actually I 3 myself on my way to the car for a few days.When therapy（治疗）wasn’t working well for me, I 4 for a hot yoga class for girls, Bikram Yoga to be exact.

Therefore, yoga helped show me that I have no real limitations physically unless I set those limitations myself through eating junk and 13 in negative limiting ways. Also, practicing yoga in front of a mirror helped me link with 14 and practicing with a group of people really helped me to feel a greater sense of connection with humanity whereas before I didn’t.

It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.On the platform, visitors can role-play and "time travel" to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program."In the digital age, the model of 'culture + technology' has been introduced to promote the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China's precious cultural relics is over 70%, " according to iResearch.Institutions such as the Palace Museum have also started online digital services of their own.AI technology allows the public to view the interior of the buildings through the Palace Museum's WeChat mini program.The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation of culture by digital means. The CCTV has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the divine deer, Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画) ."Digital collections are welcomed among young people, who grow up in the information age. They not only protect the cultural intellectual property (知识产权) but also bring the public closer to China's 'excellent traditional culture'," noted Dunhuang Art Institute.Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offering the public greater cultural experiences in the future.4．What can we know about the virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave?A.The Dunhuang Academy developed it secretly.B.Both time-traveling and gaming technologies were used in it.C.It was discovered in the 20th century with more than 60,000 cultural relics.D.People can have access to it through the Wechat mini program of Digital Dunhuang 5．According to iResearch, what has the model "culture+technology" been applied for?A.Showing the latest technologies in China.B.Helping cultural institutions make a profitC.Pushing the development of Chinese culture.D.Encouraging young people to explore Chinese cultural relics.6．How does the author introduce the success of digital collections in Paragraph 7?A.By listing numbers.B.By giving examples.C.By giving definitions.D.By making comparisons.7．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A.China's new way in rebuilding Mogao Grottoes' Library Cave.B.China's interactive digital platform in developing Dunhuang culture.C.China's success in promoting the digitization rate of cultural relics.D.China's latest advances in the development of cultural intellectual property.Research led by an ecologist Bart Hoekstra shows that birds are affected by the mass use of fireworks on New Year's Eve.The research studied how many birds take off immediately after the start of the fireworks, at what distance from fireworks this occurs and which species groups mainly react. "Birds take off as a result of an acute flight response due to sudden noise and light. Wealready knew that many water birds react strongly, but now we also see the effect on other birds throughout the Netherlands, "says Bart Hoekstra.Last year, a study discovered that geese are so affected by fireworks that they spend about 10% longer looking for food than normal during at least the next 12 days. They apparently need time to restore their energy to their former condition, after escaping from the fireworks.Because 62% of all birds in the Netherlands live within a radius (半径) of 2.5 km of inhabited areas (居民区) , the effects of fireworks are high for all birds throughout the country. "Flying requires a lot of energy, so ideally birds should be disturbed as little as possible during the cold winter months. Measures to ensure this are especially important in open areas such as grasslands, where many larger birds spend the winter. The effects ofbirds live there, which are less likely to fly away from disturbance, " says Bart Hoekstra.People who argue for fireworks-free zones in areas where large birds live advise that fireworks should mainly be lit as far away from birds as possible. It would be best for birds if people try to use light shows without sound, such as drone (无人机) shows instead of fireworks.8．How many aspects did the research mainly study?A.One.B.Two.C.Three.D.Four.9．If geese normally spend 10 days looking for food, how long will they spend after escaping from the fireworks according to the study in Paragraph 3?A.About 11 days.B.About 12 days.C.About 13 days.D.About 14 days.10．What does the underlined word "pronounced" in Paragraph 4 mean?A.Adaptable.B.Noticeable.C.Admirable.D.Avoidable.11．What can be the best title for the passage?A.Anxious in The Air!B.Amazing Fireworks-free Zones!C.Fireworks in The World!D.Birds Throughout The Country!Coming into the town of Santa Catarina Palopó, in the highlands of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala, the first thing you notice is the bright colors. Most of the buildings along the main street are eye-catching, in deep, varied hues of blues and greens; interspersed with red and yellow to form complex patterns and designs.Santa Catarina Palopó was once a sleepy town of 5,000 people, most of them indigenous (土著的) and dependent on agricultural work. As agriculture began to dry up here, decline for the town and poverty for many of its families came. To deal with poverty and stimulate economic growth through tourism, a small but mighty group of laborers, artisans, domestic workers and stay-at-home moms created the Pintando Santa Catarina Palopó project.The project was initially to paint all 850 homes and buildings in bright colors, in an effort to change the hillside town into a work of art. "We wanted to paint the houses with colors and figures that represent the community, says the project's executive director Stephany Blanco." A range of designs were created so that families can choose designs for their house that are representative of the family.One of the most representative characteristics of the region is the blue huipil, a traditional blouse which has been worn prominently by local women since the 16th century. That deep sky blue was chosen as the primary color for the Pintando project, with secondary colors found in the sunsets and the nearby lake to make the design more attractive. As for the designs that would be used, they would also find inspiration in local culture, symbols such as volcanoes, flowers, Mayan-styled butterflies and the national bird of Guatemala.Each week, local artists, community members and tourists pick up paintbrushes to make buildings colorful. "At first, the idea of the project left many unsure about participating, but now you can see a considerable difference in the town, "Melissa Whitbeck said. "The color of the buildings is believed to improve the quality of life of the people. It uplifts the people's mood and encourages them to be proud of where they come from."12．What problem did Santa Catarina Palopó face?A.A labor shortage.B. Poor economic conditions.C.A rapid increase in population.D. Outdated agricultural technology.13．What is the project about?A.Building art galleries in Guatemala.B.Creating job opportunities for local artisans.C.Developing local tourism by selling artworks.D.Transforming the town into a cultural destination.14．What is the inspiration of the primary color for the project?A.The nearby lake.B.Mayan-styled butterflies.C.A type of traditional clothing.D.The national bird of Guatemala.15．What is Melissa's attitude towards the project?A.Positive.B.Uncaring.C.Confused.D.Disappointed.二、七选五16．We're getting more used to chatting to our computers and smart phones through all kinds of voice assistants. ①_______ People who can't read or write can send and get information using the spoken web.Some think voice could soon become the main way to interact online.
