It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.” She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didn’t finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn’t get much education. But Louis didn’t give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasn’t I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance.I pleted the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others;I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didn’t expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”31.The author didn’t finish the reading in class because .A.He was new to the classB.He was tired of literatureC.He had an attention disorderD.He wanted to take the task home32.What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?A.He made a great invention.B.He had good sightC.He gave up readingD.He learned a lot from school33.What was Mrs. Smith’s attitude to the author at the end of the story?A.AngryB.ImpatientC.SympatheticD.Encouraging34.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The disabled should be treated with respect.B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.C.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.D.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.BMark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname. Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河). He was nearly drowned nine times.After his father’s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, whoonly provided him with food and clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full time writer.In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in 1876, and HuckleberryFinnin1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts in bad investments(投资) and he had to write large numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.At the age of 70, his hair was pletely white. He bought many white suits and neckties.

Lise Meitner was born in Vienna, Austria on November 7, 1878.She was the third child of eight children in the family. Her father Philipp, who was a lawyer, hired personal teachers to teach the children,and she learned mathematics very well. Music was important to the family, and all the children learned to play the piano. TheMeitner children were taught to listen to their parents, but to think for themselves. When Lise Meitner finished school at the age of 14, she could not go to college for higher education, as were all girls in Austria. But, inspired by the discovery of Henri Becquerel, she was determined to study radioactivity(放射性).When she turned 21, women were finally allowed into Austrian universities. Meitner was admitted into the University of Vienna; there she was excellent at math and physics and earned her doctor’s degree in 1906.She wrote to Marie Curie, but there was no room for her in the Paris lab, so Meitner made her way to Berlin. There she worked with Otto Hahn, but as an Austrian Jewish woman, she was excluded from the main labs and allowed to work only in the basement.In 1912, the pair moved to a new university and Meitner had better lab equipment. Though Meitner was forced to escape Nazi Germany in 1938, they continued to cowork. Meitner continued her work in Sweden and later they found the phenomenon “nuclear fission(核裂变)”. The discovery, which finally led to the atomic bomb, won Hahn the Nobel Prize in 1944. Meitner, ignored by the Nobel committee(委员会), refused to return to Germany after the war and continued her atomic research in Stockholm into her80s.【小题1】What can we learn about Lise Meitner’s childhood?A.She received a poor education.B.She often went against her parents.C.She did well in math.D.She lived a hard life with her family.【小题2】Why didn’t Lise Meitner go to college after finishing high school?

Susan Murabana’s travelling telescope began with a simple revelation(被暴露的真相):We all have access to the sky. We all see the same moon. At the same time, she knew that access wasn't created equal. Telescopes have been around for 400 years, but most children in Kenya had never looked through one. She thought she could change that.In 2014, she and her partner Mr. Owen bought a telescope and started showing kids around Kenya what the stars looked like up close. Today, their Travelling Telescope program has reached 200,000 kids. It teaches kids about space and rockets online, offering workshops on 3D modeling and astronomy to local schoolchildren. “It's never been about these kids becoming astronomers,”Mrs. Murabana says. “I believe astronomy is an opportunity for kids to spread interest in other fields of science such as engineering and math, and that it is only through science that we can understand the world we live in.”Growing up in Nairobi, Mrs.Murabana never saw astronomy as a possible career path-or even a potential hobby. “I always loved math and science, but I wasn't exposed to astronomy,” she says. She studied economics in college, and then workedin marketing. But when she volunteered in science outreach programs where she met Owen, she saw the way astronomy seemed to make kids from all walks of life light up. Soon, she began teaching kids about space through programs like Hands-On Universe, and completing a master' s degree in astronomy herself.At Hillcrest International Schools in Nairobi, preparatory head teacher Surbhi Vashisht says the telescope has hit it big among her students, 170 of whom have participated in Travelling Telescope workshops: looking at the stars, building rockets, and virtually exploring the landscape of Mars. “The children enjoy a lot in the sessions,” she writes in an email.【小题1】What's the purpose of Mrs. Murabana's Travelling Telescope program? A.To promote the development of astronomy in her country.B.To make telescopes affordable to most schools in Kenya.C.To inspire kids to be astronomers in the future.D.To open the door to science for kids.【小题2】What contributes to Mrs. Murabana's change of career path?A.Her experience as a volunteer.B.The unsatisfying education in Africa.C.The love and support from Mr. Owen.D.Her completing a master's degree in astronomy.【小题3】Which of the following can best replace the underlined part “hit it big” in the last paragraph?A.Gained favor.B.Become mysterious.C.Caused a big concern.D.Been of limited value.【小题4】What's the text mainly about?A.An effort to create astronomy enthusiasts.B.A plan to improve the study of astronomy.C.A way to bring about equality in education.D.An educational program bringing stars to children.4. A couple of weeks ago my parents came to visit me in the southwest of France during my break. As a little surprise for them I planned a trip to a small village in the Pyrenees Mountains called Niaux to seethe famous “Grotte de Niaux”. My dad told me so many stories about the famous “grottes” of Southern France: Lascaux, Font-de-Gaume and the Cave of Niaux. These caves contain paintings drawn between17,000 and 11,000 years ago! Advances in science and technology have enabled scientists and historians to date the paintings accurately by carbon dating (碳定年法)and discover the tools with which people used to draw the paintings, as well as the materials they used. My dad studied these caves when he was a college student, but he didn't have the chance to see one personally. Therefore, I decided to change it!Many caves that contain prehistoric paintings are no longer accessible to the public. The carbon dioxide that we breathe out and the harsh artificial lights quickly degrade the quality of the paintings, and for many caves, now visitors can only see reconstructions of the original paintings. However, Niaux is an exception. By limiting the number of people allowed in the cave at a time and limiting the artificial lights used to light the paintings, the paintings in Niaux have been well protected so that visitors can see the originals. They were unbelievable! We saw paintings of bison(北美野牛),mountain goats and deer carved on the walls as though they had been done yesterday. They were actually drawn around14,000 years ago!Many people believe that these paintings were drawn as part of an almost religious ritual(仪式),while others believe they represent the life experiences of the men and women who lived in these caves many years ago. Maybe we will never know for sure why the paintings were drawn, but one thing is for certain - those cavemen were far better at drawing than I am!【小题1】Why did the author's father tell him many stories about the “grottes”?A.The author asked him to do so.B.It was his father's duty.C.His father was interested in them.D.They weren't known to the author.【小题2】What can visitors only see of the original paintings in many caves? A.Shadows.B.Copies.C.Models.D.Introductions.【小题3】What makes the paintings in Niaux unbelievable?A.Good protection.B.Great skill.C.Good quality.D.Dark light.【小题4】We can know from the text that________.A.this was the second time that the author' s father had visited Niaux. B.visitors don't know the material used to draw the pictures in Niaux.C.only the carbon dioxide people breathe out degraded the quality of the paintings. D.visitors don't know clearly why the paintings were drawn.二、七选五5. Sinks and mirrors in bathrooms can easily become dirty. 【小题1】 When we clean our teeth, the toothpaste can be easily left on mirrors and sinks.【小题2】 The longer the toothpaste remains, the drier it will become and the harder it will be to clean it. So once the toothpaste is left on mirrors or sinks, work out ways to handle it. You can probably wipe it away simply with a cloth or a paper towel and plain water.If the toothpaste has been sitting there for a while, first try to remove it with a paper towel. You can then apply your favorite bathroom cleaning supplies, Windex, or other glass and surface cleaners.【小题3】It can be dangerous if they are used together. You should always wash one cleaning supply away completely before applying another.Once you have applied a solution (溶液),allow it to sit for a few minutes so that the deposits (沉积物) can be softened. 【小题4】 For mirrors, apply the cleaning solution to a cloth and hold it against the spots on the mirror for a few moments.For very stubborn spots, first, try cleaning the area with a cotton swab (棉签). You’11 need to use some strength .If the cotton swab technique doesn't work, you can scrape (刮擦) the area with a plastic tool, such as a plastic paint scraper. But the surface of mirrors and sinks can easily get damaged by hard things. 【小题5】A.Consider using other cleaning supplies.B.But don't mix cleaning supplies.C.Then wash them away thoroughly.D.First, try to wash it away using water.E.So take care not to scratch the surface.F.One cause is related to activities of brushing teeth.G.The best tip on removing toothpaste is to clean it immediately.三、完形填空6.

We arrived there at nine and the children welcomed us warmly. Firstly, we introduced ourselves briefly, which helped us to know each other better. Additionally, we organized some entertainment activities like teaching those children to sing and dance. In the end, we sent books and school things to them as New Year’s presents.This activity was really impressive. It not only gave us an opportunity to experience a different life, but also brought some warmth to those left-behind children.第二节书面表达(满分25 分)Paragraph 1.A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers search in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried, especially when the police began questioning Prather and trying to get him to admit to keeping the ring. Each passing minute increased the chances that he would arrest the young man. Then a diver popped up. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the crowd. Even the detective was happy.Paragraph 2.But it wasn’ t over for Gilleece. He’d been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. Gilleece knew his home was big enough to give Prather a place to live for a while. He told the teen he could stay with his family until the boy got on his feet again. He also gave the kid a job at his bar. “Most people would have given the footage(监控录像) to police, but he chose to believe me and help me. I’ll work hard to become a good guy, just as he expected,” Prather said in an interview.书面表达评分标准:一、应用文评分标准总体要求1. 本题总分为 15 分,按以下 5 个档次给分。

2021-2022学年湖北省武汉市部分重点中学联考高二(上)期中英语试卷一、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共37.5分)AMother Nature is a cruel mistress.Why?Read on to find the answer.VeniceThis iconic city is sinking rapidly.The canals that make up the streets of Venice rise 2mm every year,making relics of history go under the surface of water and destroyingarchitecture.Experts warn that without intervention (干预),this city will disappear back into the water at an even faster rate,consumed by rising sea level from melting polar ice caps.Machu PicchuThese iconic ruins have drawn adventurous tourists into the mountains of SouthAmerica.The forces of natural erosion (侵蚀)have been accelerated by tourism and this landmark faces severe influence from increasing foot traffic.The Peruviar government recently suggested a cable car that would cut out the intense hike up to the ruins,making the site instantly accessible to millions,but the future of Machu Picchu remains uncertain.Glacier National ParkPerhaps you've heard that the ice caps are melting.But nowhere is more apparent in the United States than in Glacier National Park.Estimates indicate that the glaciers that are part-of the beauty of this national landmark will disappear entirely in the next two decades.The Great Barrier ReefHidden from view beneath the waves,the Great Barrier Reef has been rapidly dyingoff.Nearly fifty percent of coral which once occupied a large area is gone,destroyed by pollution and disease.1.What can we learn about Machu Picchu?______A. It's famous for cable cars.B. It has no convenient traffic.C. It's well preserved by the locals.D. It bears a heavy burden of tourism.2.Which place probably needs visitors to dive into the water to enjoy its beauty?______A. Venice.B. Machu Picchu.C. Glacier National Park.D. The Great Barrier Reef.3.What do the above attractions have in common?______A. They all have a long history.B. They're all threatened by climate.C. They're all in danger of disappearing.D. They're all well-known for natural scenery.BI was 9 years old when I found out my father was ill.It was 1994,but I can remember mymother's words as if it were yesterday. "Kerrel,I don't want you to take food from your father,because he has AIDS.Be very careful when you are around him."AIDS wasn't something we talked about in my country when I was growing up.From then on,I knew that this would be a family secret.My parents were not together any more,and my dad lived alone.For a while,he could take care of himself.But when I was 12,his condition worsened.My father's other children lived far away,so it fell to me to look after him.We couldn't afford all the necessary medicine for him,and because Dad was unable to work,I had no money for school supplies and often couldn't even buy food for dinner.I would sit in class feeling completely lost.The teacher's words muffled (减弱)as I tried to figure out how I was going to manage.I did not share my burden (负担)with anyone.I had seen people reacted to AIDS.Kidslaughed at classmates who had parents with the disease.And even adults could becruel.When my father was moved to the hospital,the nurses would leave his food on the bedside table even though he was too weak to feed himself.I had known that he was going to die,but after so many years of keeping his condition asecret.I was completely unprepared when he reached his final days.Sad and hopeless,I called a woman at the nonprofit National AIDS Support.That day,she kept me on the phone for hours.I was so lucky to find someone who cared.She saved my life.I was 15 when my father died.He took his secret away with him,having never spokenabout AIDS to anyone,even me.He didn't want to call attention to AIDS.I do.4.What does Kerrel tell us about her father?______A. He told no one about his disease.B. He worked hard to pay for his medicine.C. He depended on the nurses in his final days.D. He had stayed in the hospital since he fell ill.5.What can be inferred from paragraph 3?______A. Kerrel couldn't understand her teacher.B. Kerrel had special difficulty in hearing.C. Kerrel was too tired to hear her teacher's words.D. Kerrel was too troubled to focus on the lessons.6.Why did Kerrel keep her father's disease a secret?______A. She was afraid of being looked down upon.B. She thought it was shameful to have AIDS.C. She found no one willing to listen to her.D. She wanted to obey her mother.7.Why did Kerrel write the passage?______A. To remember her father.B. To draw people's attention to AIDS.C. To show how little people knew about AIDS.D. To tell people about the sufferings of her father.COnce a circle missed a wedge (楔子).The circle wanted to be whole,so it went around looking for its missing piece.But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly,it admired the flowers along the way.It chatted with worms.It enjoyed the sunshine.Finally it found a piece that fit perfectly.It was so happy.Now that it was aperfect circle,it could roll very fast,too fast to notice flowers or talk to the worms.When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly,it stopped,left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.In some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something.The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man.He will never know what it feels like to hope and to nourish (滋润)his soulwith the dream of something better.He will never know the experience of having someone who loves him,give him something he has always wanted or never had.There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations,who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and does not feel like a failure for doing so.There is wholeness about the man or woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy and survive--he or she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person.Life is more like a baseball season,when even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its days of brilliance.Our goal is to win more games than we lose.When we accept that imperfection is part of being human,and when we can continue rolling through life and appreciate it,we will have achieved wholeness that others can only long for.8.Which may be an example of being whole?______A. A person has everything.B. A person accepts his or her limitations.C. A person loves someone and is also loved.D. A person feels blue for dropping unrealistic goals.9.How is a baseball season similar to life?______A. Easy come,easy go.B. Failure is the mother of success.C. Energy and persistence conquer all things.D. Some battles you win and some battles you lose.10.How does the author clarify his idea?______A. Mainly by arguing.B. Mainly by informing.C. Mainly by comparing.D. Mainly by reasoning.11.What can be the best title for the passage?______A. No pains,no gainsB. Be whole in our lifeC. Seek perfection in lifeD. Life without mistakes is wholeDMetal-organic frameworks (MOFs)are compounds that are set to solve some tough challenges:producing water in the desert,removing greenhouse gases from the air and storing dangerous gases more safely.The Arizona desert is really dry.Anyone stuck in it without water would die fromdehydration (脱水)within three days,unless he had one of Omar Yaghi'snext-generation water harvesters,who is a chemist at the University ofCalifornia,Berkeley.Although daytime wetness is only about 10 percent,this rises to 40 percent at night,which means there's enough water in the atmosphere to support life-if it can be transformed into liquid form.That's exactly what Yaghi's invention does.It's about the size of a small microwaveoven,designed to suck the water from the air at night and turn it into drinking water the next day using only the heat of the sun as its power source.What makes it work is a special material called a MOF,which at normal temperatures attracts water molecules (分子)onto the surface of its internal small holes.Warm it up and get the water,each harvester producing one-third of a cup of pure drinking water. "A device the size of a washingmachine could produce enough water for the basic needs of a household," says Yaghi.These crystalline (结晶的)groups of metals linked by organic molecules can be made into materials with an extremely high absorption ability,attracting specific molecules to their surfaces.In this way,MOFs cling to a variety of liquids and gases.MOFs work thanks to their distinctive structure.In fact,one MOF the size of a sugar cube has so many small holes that they would cover an area as large as six football fields.MOFs are also extremely stable,light and have many different uses:their molecular structure can be varied to attract specific molecules.Adding a small amount of heat or pressure causes the MOF to give what it's holding.More than 70,000 different MOFs have been produced to date for various applications.12.Why1s the Arizona desert mentioned in the second paragraph?______A. To introduce water harvesters.B. To stress the importance of water.C. To show the severity of its condition.D. To express the urgent need for water there.13.What plays a vital role in water harvesters?______A. Solar energy.B. Water molecules.C. Metal-organic frameworks.D. MOFs' internal small holes.14.Which can explain the phrase "cling to" underlined in paragraph 4?______A. Give off.B. Turn into.C. Hold onto.D. Break down.15.What will probably be covered in the following paragraphs?______A. The future of the MOF technology.B. Other uses of the MOF technology.C. The improvement to the MOF technology.D. Possible limitations of the MOF technology.二、阅读七选五(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)Much of the work in today's world is accomplished in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. (1)Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent?(2) They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For footballand basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level,the team's performance begins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isn't evident in baseball,where additionalindividual talent keeps improving the team's performance.To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a goodperformance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调)their actions. (3) In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.Theyconclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team's performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told, "There is no I in TEAM." (4)Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug-of war (拔河比赛),whenever a person isadded,everyone else pulls the rope with less force.(5) An A-team may require a balance-not just A players,but a few generous B players aswell.A.It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent.B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention.D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G19. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G20. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.。

AHome fires can happen quickly, destroying lives and property, but unlike other disasters, most home fires can be prevented. Read on to learn 4 unexpected home fire dangers.Having old smoke alarmsAn effective smoke alarm can make much difference when it comes to surviving a house fire. It’s not enough to change the batteries twice a year, you also need to replace your alarms every decad e. “You should test your smoke alarms every month,” says Lorraine Carli, vice president of the National Fire Protection Association. “But also don’t forget to check the dates and replace an alarm that is more than 10 years old.”Leaving the kitchen while you cookOne in five Americans admitted leaving food cooking unattended on the stove, found an American Red Cross survey. Walking away from food cooking in the kitchen is a serious fire risk. “The leading cause of home fires is cooking and the leadi ng cause of those fires is unattended cooking,” says Carli.“If you need to use the stove or oven, be sure to keep an eye on it.”Turning the heat too high when you cookTurning up the heat too high can be deadly, even if you’re in the kitchen while you cook. Kevin Kelley, senior director of the American Red Cross, recommends paying close attention and turning off the burner if you see smoke or grease (油脂) starting to boil while frying food.Having a dirty stove while you cookIf your stove is covered with grease, a small kitchen fire can get out of hand quickly. Clean and clear the areaaround the stove before turning on the heat, or the result will be dangerous.21. How long should you have a new smoke alarm?A. 2 years.B. 10 years.C. 12 years.D. 8 years.22. What is the leading cause of fires from kitchen?A. Clearing a dirty stove.B. Turning off the burner .C. Replacing an alarm.D. Unattended cooking.23. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Unexpected home fire dangers can be prevented.B. It is advisable to change the batteries twice a year.C. Kevin Kelley suggests paying close attention to fried food.D. Having a dirty stove is dangerous while you cook.BDo you need a human to create a beautiful scent (气味)? That’s the question being asked as artificial intelligence (AI) starts to enter the perfume(香水) industry.Companies are increasingly turning to technology in order to create more bestselling, unique fragrances that can be produced in just minutes. Last year, Swiss-based fragrance developer Givaudan Fragrances launched Carto, an artificial intelligence-powered tool to help perfumers(调香师). Through machine learning (a way computers improve outcomes automatically by learning from past results) Carto can suggest combinations of ingredients.Using a touch screen, the perfumer can pull together different scents using data from the brand’s vast library of fragrance formulas (配方) —a much more efficient process than using traditional forms. A small robot immediately processes the fragrances into perfumes, making it easier for perfumers to test their new scents.German fragrance house Symrise has gone one step further and teamed up with IBM Research to create an AI called Philyra. Like Carto, Philyr a can’t actually sniff anything. But it is not designed to replace perfumers.“It’s machine-learning and sometimes the results have been wrong,” says Claire Viola, vice president of digital strategy fragrance at Symrise. “It’s still a project, the mor e we test, the more it continues to improve. It constantly needs training.”24. What is Carto according to the passage?A. a bestselling unique fragrance.B. a Swiss-based fragrance developer.C. an AI-powered tool.D. combinations of ingredients.25. What’s the main idea of para. 3?A. The process of making fragrance.B. Two ways of making fragrance.C. The importance of a small robot.D. The popularity of a small robot.26. What can we inf er from Claire Viola’s opinion on Phil yra?A. It will replace perfumers in the near future.B. It’s the most effective technology to produce perfume.C. The results will be perfect when using it.D. We should train and improve it, because it’s machine-learning.27. In which section of the newspaper can you probably read this passage?A. LifestyleB. EntertainmentC. AdvertisementD. Science & technologyCDancing with your grandma for 15 minutes a week promotes positive feelings and improves her state of mind, a study claims. Doctors from Israel are encouraging younger family members to have a regular visit to their grandmas and have a dance with their grandmas.And they found a 15 minute boogie (布吉舞) once a week lifted the spirits of the elder family members and helped strengthen the familial bond. In fact, it is called Dance Movement Therapy (DMT). DMT across the generations, complete with eye contact, was found to promote positive feelings and improve spirits for the elderly.The grandparents reported a bright state of mind, happy memories and uplifted spirits. Dancing has also previously been linked to improved muscle strength, balance and endurance (耐力). For the grandchildren in the study, the weekly boogie changed how they view aging and allowed them to come to accept the eventual death of their elderly relatives.The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Psychology, assessed how dance affected general health of 16 dance movement therapists (治疗师) and their grandmothers. DMT was taken seriously due to the fact that it is easily accessible and does not cost more to practice. The researchers were eager to examine a low-cost method to treat issues commonly faced by an aging population—such as limited mobility and depression(抑郁症). Grandchildren were instructed to make eye contact and encourage playfulness and touch. They were also told to mirror their grandmothers’ movements and give them time and space to rest when needed.The sessions were recorded and then analysed while diaries and interviews captured the opinions and feelings of the participants. As well as the benefits to the health of the senior, the experiment also changed the idea of the younger family members.28. What should the young people do when dancing with their grandmas?A. Follo w the grandmas’ steps.B. Look at the grandmas’ eyes.C. Move the bodies as long as possible.D. Talk with their grandmas in gentle voice.29. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Dancing brings the young happy memories and uplifted spirits.B. Dancing enables the senior to accept aging and death of their old relatives.C. Dancing benefits both the senior and the young in the new study.D. Dancing is linked to improved muscle strength and balance in the new study.30. Which of the following is the best advantage of DMT?A. Inexpensive.B. Relaxing.C. Attractive.D. Pleasant.31. What is the best title for the text?A. What does DMT Mean?B. Dancing: a Good Way to Stop Being Senior.C. Why Don’t You Dance 15 Minutes Every Week?D. Dancing with Grandparents is Good for Health and Family Ties.DAfter weeks of lockdown, the French are more eager than ever to get away from the breathless cities. But the busy traffic will also serve as a reminder of another annual summer trend here. The French have the unfortunate distinction of being the European champions(冠军) for abandoning pets that have become too cumbersome for their summer trips. Animal shelters up and down the country are evidence of this unique and sad tradition.Betty Loizeau has run a shelter just north of Toulouse for more than 20 years. “Owners c all up to say where their pets can be found, or drop them off in boxes outside the shelter under the cover of darkness. The excuses they typically give are that they’re going on holiday, having a baby, moving house, or they have a new partner with allergies, .......”For shelters like this one, it is the busiest time of the year. Between 100,000 and 200,000 pets are abandoned in France each year, with 60% of these incidents occurring over the summer. The figure is close to 16.000 in the UK.“Pets are increasingly seen as an impulsive(冲动的) buy,” says Marina Chailland, a vet(兽医) who has studied the social relationship between the French and their pets.“A certain breed(品种) of cat or dog is fashionable and owners want one, just like a new smartphone,” she says. “Of course, when it goes out of fashion they desert it for an upgrade a couple of years later, when a new breed is considered fashionable.” She also points to the issue of pets being given as gifts as a reason why so many are abandoned. “Often parents will get pets for their children and when they grow up and lose interest in them, out goes the pet.”Over the summer, owners discover that hotels charge extra for animals or even ban them completely. This explains why you will often see frightened, lost, dogs wandering near freeway service stations or beach resorts.32. What does the underlined the word “cumbersome” in para. 1 refer to?A. Disturbing.B. Enjoyable.C. Boring.D. Impressive.33. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.In fact, the French don’t like pets at all.B.There are various excuses for people abandoning pets.C.Between 100,000 and 200,000 pets are abandoned in the UK each year.D.Pets are admitted into the hotel for free in summer.34. When is the busiest time for a pet shelter in France?A . In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter.35. Why does the author mention the smartphone in paragraph 5?A. To explain why the French abandon the pets.B .To explain how the French like a smartphone.C. To explain why the French dislike pets.D. To explain how costly a smartphone is in France.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。
