But it’s not that unrealistic, with the development of China's highspeed railway system. And that’s not all. China has an even g reater h igh-speed r ailway p lan----to c onnect t he c ountry w ith S outheast A sia,and eventually Eastern Europe.China is negotiating to extend its own high-speed railway network to up to 17 countries in 10 to 15 years,eventually reaching London and Singapore. China has proposed three such projects. The first would possibly connect Kunming with Singapore via Vietnam and Malaysia. Another could start in Urumqi and go through Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, and possibly to Germany. The third would start in the northeast and go north through Russia and then into Western Europe.If C hina's p lan f or t he h igh-speed r ailway g oes f orward, p eople c ould z ip o ver from London to Beijing in under two days. The new system would still follow China's high-speed r ailway s tandard. A nd t he t rains w ould b e a ble t o g o 346 k ilometers a n h our, almost as fast as some airplanes. China's bullet train(高速客车),the one connecting Wuhan to Guangzhou,already has the world's fastest average speed. It covers 1,069 kilometers in about three hours. Of course,there are some technical challenges to overcome. T here a re s o m any i ssuevs t hat n eed t o b e s ettled, s uch a s s afety, r ail g auge (轨距),maintenance of railway tracks.

We foresee that in the coming decades,millions of people will migrate to the western regions, where the land is empty and resources unused. With high-speed trains, people will set up factories and business centers in the west once and for all. And they'lltrade with Central Asian and Eastern European countries.1.China s new high-speed railway plan will be a win-win projectbecause .A.China will get much-needed resources and develop its western regionsB.China and the countries involved will benefit from the project in various waysC.China will develop its railway system and communication with other countriesD.the foreign countries involved will develop their railway transportation. businessand tourism2.According to the passage, the greatest challenge to the new high-speed railway planis .A.technical issuesB.safety of the systemC.financial problemsD.maintenance of railway tracks3.Which of the following words best describes the author's attitude towards China'shigh-speed railway plan?A.Critical.B.Reserved.C.Doubtful.D.Positive.4.Which of the following might be thebest title for the passage?A.New Railway StandardsB.Big Railway DreamsC.High-speed Bullet TrainsD.International Railway Network7、While WeChat is China's biggest mobile messaging app (应用软件),there are many equivalent(相当的) apps in other countries that offer similar features(特征).

2018-2019学年高二英语人教版寒假作业：第二天（含答案）第二天单句语法填空1、We’ve been looking at the houses but haven’t found__________ we like yet.2、He is a very serious man. He __________(rare) smiles.3、I can tell__________ his accent that he is from the south.4、I often__________(agree) with him about what we ought to do,but we still get along quite well.5、Great changes __________(take) place in our school in the past two years.阅读理解6、Recent studies have shown that challenging your brain, by spurring (刺激) the brain to create new patterns, is very important to keep your brain active and healthy as you age. Lifelong learning is a health club for our minds, bodies and spirits. This is why we parents should also teach our children to be lifelong learners. Dr. Marilyn Price-Mitchell, an American psychologist, and youth development expert, shares some ways for us to do this.1.Ask questions.When your child asks you a question, don't answer it straight away. Instead, help him or her bring up “questions that pique their curiosity.”This way, we help children make connections between what they're learning at school and the world beyond their classroom. We also show them that learning does not, and should not, end when o ne is “done with school”—it's actuallya lifelong process!2. Let them fail.Our kids love learning about different scientific concepts (概念) via The Magic School Bus videos on YouTube. And one of the characters, Miss Frizzle (the science teacher) always says this phrase: “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy.”I always quote (引述) her when the kids say they're afraid to do or learn something because they might do it wrong or make a mistake. If we don't allow our kids to fail, they won't be able to lear n to “use mistakes and failures to make lifelong learning easier,”as Dr. Price-Mitchell says.3. Learn through experience.This is very true for all of us, especially children. In the words of Dr. Price-Mitchell, “Learning through experience, not just from books, is one of the best ways to give the youth the skills they need for lifelong learning, living, and working in the 21st century.”Of course, we should also set an example for our children —by learning continuously, and expanding our knowledge and experiences.1.What does the underlined word “pique”in the text probably mean?A.Change.B.Awaken.C.Balance.D.Prevent.2.What's the author's attitude to what Miss Frizzle always says?A.Worried.B.Doubtful.C.Uncaring.D.Supportive.3.Which of the following shows the importance of learning through experience?A.Learning is not child's play; we cannot learn without pain.B.It is not that I'm so smart. But I stay with the questions much longer.C.If you don't learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.D.Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.4.In which part of a newspaper will the text most probably appear?A.Health.B.Culture./doc/179846839.htmlcation.D.Popular science.7、The history of vacuum cleaners (真空吸尘器) in the U. K. dates back to the early 1900s. Hubert Cecil Booth started the first vacuum cleaner company in the U. K. , known as the British Vacuum Cleaner Company. It wasn’t long, however, before William Henry Hoover, who had already experienced success with his vacuum cleaners in America, made headway in the vacuum cleaner market in the U. K. and became more successful than Booth.Hoover’s vacuum cleaners in the U. K. became such a success that “to hoover”quickly became equal to vacu uming. Some of the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. used simple reusable cloth bag designs whereby the vacuum cleaner simply collected dust in the bag. Once the bag was full, you could empty and re-attach it to the vacuum cleaner.For decades after their introduction, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. were a luxury item that only the upper class could afford. After World War Ⅱ, however, they became common among the middle class. This was especially true for vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , because the popularity of carpets means sweeping is not an easy or effective means of carpet cleaning.In 1952, Hoover made the Constellation available to the public for the first time. Hoover designed it so that people could place the vacuum cleaner in the center of the room and then work around it. After about 20 years of selling these vacuum cleaners in the U. K. , Hoover stopped the Constellation in 1975.Advances to upright and cylinder vacuum cleaners in the U. K. continued, enabling vacuum cleaners to become more efficient and effective. The 1990s saw the introduction of the first bagless domestic vacuum cleaners in the U. K. Despite the fears that consumers would not be prepared to accept the high price, bagless vacuum cleaners became a big success in the U. K.As for the future, vacuum cleaners in the U. K. are expected to become even more energy-efficient.1.What can be inferred from the first paragraph?A.Hoover entered the U. K. vacuum cleaner market before the 1900s.B.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were more advanced than Booth's.C.Hoover's vacuum cleaners were very popular in the U. K. market.D.Vacuum cleaners were invented later in the U. K. than in America.2.What was the cloth bag on the earliest domestic vacuum cleaners used for?A.Decorating the vacuum cleaners.B.Making the vacuum cleaners moreefficient.C.Lightening the vacuum cleaners.D.Collecting dust.3.What was the most remarkable characteristic of the Constellation?A.It was only used by the upper class.B.Its design allowed the user to work around it.C.It was upright and it had a cylinder added to it.D.Its price was extremely high at the time.4.We can learn from the passage that bagless vacuum cleaners _____.A.were so popular that they could fulfill all U. K. customers' demandsB.were the most energy-efficient vacuum cleanersC.were not accepted by U. K. customersD.were expensive when they made their first public appearance in the U. K. 完形填空8、It happened to Susan Black in a cold winter. Everything seemed ina 1 those days. Both her parents suffering from depression,sending fora 2 became a common practice.

AThe human beings seem to be facing a crisis (危机). After our best Go players were defeated one by one by the artificial intelligence (AI) AlphaGo, we lost our pride of being at the top of the intelligence chain. And in October, when Saudi Arabia gave citizenship to a robot named Sophia, another privilege of being human was taken away. It looks like everything that separates humans and AI is at risk right now.But we keep hoping that instead of “everything”, there’s still something left in us that makes us irreplaceable.To Hao Jingfang, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novele tte, that “something” is our consciousness. “AlphaGo is intelligent in a certain way, but not intelligent enough to ask the important questions —— Do I like playing Go? Do I want to play Go today? Why do I have to play Go when you tell me to?” she once said. In other words, computer programs don’t have a choice to say “no”. They probably don’t even know what a “choice” is —— all they ever do is calculate.And to He Huaihong, a philosophy (哲学) professor at Peking University, imagination and creativity are also what make us special. “A machine couldn’t have come up with the theory of gravity just because it was hit by a falling apple”, he said. “It’s human im agination that connects what seem to be completely random and irrelevant concepts, something that a machine——which works by fixed rules only——can't do, at least for now.”This is why BBC reporter Viktor Mayer-Schonberger suggested that instead of focusing on how computers have overshadowed us on calculating abilities than humans, we should probably “co nsider our quality at a different end of the spectrum (光谱)：creativity, originality (原创性), even plain illogical craziness, instead of hard-nosed (顽固的) logic”, he wrote.So maybe in the future, as artificial intelligence becomes even more intelligent, humans and A1 will learn to use each other’s talents for good. If AI can handle the boring tasks like calculating and driving for us, we’ll have more time to create, think, and be busy with “being human”.29. What can we learn about AlphaGo, according to Hao Jingfang?A. It will be taught to say no in the future.B. It will be more intelligent than humans one day.C. It has difficulty answering personal questions.D. It is unable to think independently as humans do.30. What does He Huaihong believe is unique to humans?A. Intelligence.B. Originality.C. The ability to make rules.D. The ability to make choices.31. What does the underlined word “overshadowed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Competed withB. Taken control ofC. Been more successful thanD. Influenced32. What could be the future of AI according to the author?A. It will be used to help humans, rather than compete with us.B. It may develop creativity besides better logical thinking.C. It might be very dangerous to humans in different fields.D. It will be applied to provide driving service for humans.BShortly after my fourth birthday, my parents and I arrived from China in Sydney, Australia. It was 1991 and my mother had left behind everything she knew——family, friends and career.Yet within two years, my parents’ marriage had broken down. After one particularly unpleasant fight, my mother left my father, taking me with her. With no family or friends, and in a country where she couldn’t even communicate, she took me to Chinatown, the only area of Sydney she was familiar with. That night she laid me on a bench in Dixon Street, packing suitcases around us for security(安全). I will never forget the despair in her face that night.At around 4 a.m., a group of four young Chinese men noisily exited a club nearby. I remember them falling silent as they saw us. They approached and asked my mother why she was sleeping on the streets with such a young child. My mum burst into tears as she told them our story. Without hesitating, they warmed me up, took our suitcases, and drove us to their students housing.In the weeks that followed, the men looked after us with a youthful enthusiasm. Being poor students living on their own for the first time, they simply knew how to cook in a stupid way. However, they insisted that a child should have homemade meals. They quickly adjusted their lives around us, buying fresh food, cooking, teasing me to make me laugh, and advising my mum on how to sort out her life.Eventually, Mum reconciled (和解) with Dad and we moved back in with him, although they continued to split and make up several times.Gradually we lost touch with the men as we all moved on.

2018-2019学年高二英语寒假作业检测试题一、阅读理解AIn Chinese customs, red is the main color for weddings. It is u sed in different ways as it signifies love, joy and happiness. T he bride’s wedding gown（女礼服）is often red, the wedding invitations, gift boxes and envelopes are red and the bride and the groom’s homes are decorated i n red on the wedding day.Before the wedding, the married couples from the groom’s fa mily visit the bride’s place with gifts in red baskets and boxes. One of those baskets has milk honey. Three days before the wedding, the women from the bride’s family bring return-gifts to the groom’s family.On the wedding day, the groom arrives at the bride’s place on his way to the chapel（佛堂）. The groom has to give gifts in cash wrapped in red pape r to the br ide’s friends for letting her go. The bride and the gro om then leave for the chapel together.The wedding ceremony is attended only by the couple’s imme diate relatives. Just after the wedding ceremony, the bride serves tea to her parents in-laws as a tradition. The couples will then go to get wedding pi ctures. Then a reception（宴会）will follow.In the reception, a welcome speech is followed by a cake cutti ng ceremony. A Chinese wedding cake has many layers （层）, and each one represents a step to success for the ne wly married couples. So couples cut the cake from the bottom describes and provides information on the weddi ng traditions of the Chinese and around the world. Below are some wedding traditions performed in Italy.1.This passage mainly talks about .some Chinese wedding traditions B. colors in Chinese custo msC.wedding ceremonies in ChinaD. preparations for a Chi nese wedding2.

But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestio ns.●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for tra velling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving y ourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the pl aces you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provi de information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough m oney to cover everything.●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting t he same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Loo k for work in the places you visit.●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activiti es and sights.●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sic k and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some us eful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains －lowest－ and www. Economic－travel. com.By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.5.This passage is mainly about ________.how to plan your travel B. how to travel with enough money C. how to make your travel interesting D. how to get life exp eriences6. Before your trip, the first thing you should do is ________.A. to buy tickets in advanceB. to make a plan of the routeC. to save money by spending lessD. to get information o n the Internet7. The author of the passage advises you ________.A. to go to lesser－known area B. not to visit dangerous placesC. to share costs with any other peopleD. to buy anything y ou want to buyCTeaching PoetryNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginni ng of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading i t aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning al l at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice , on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teach er reading it or, best of all, reciting it.I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem a loud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t ti me for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is t o have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of lief”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the tea ching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to communicate t his to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thins about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroo m for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.8.To have a better understanding of a poem, one should ____ __.analyze it by oneself B. discuss it with othersC. practise reading it aloudD. copy it down in a notebook9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of p oetry?A. Extending your lifeB. Saving your lifeC. Criticizing lifeD. Heightening life10. The last sentence in the third paragraph imply ______.A. The teaching of poetry is more important than any other su bject.B. More importance should be given to the teaching of poetry.C. Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature cours es.D. One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poe try.11. The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by______.A. provide equipmentB. build a schoolC. set up a houseD. leave a certain amount of timeDVinegar makes salad,fries and dumplings taste better, and yo u can even use it to clean your windows. And now, according to scientists, it may even the planet’s population survive climate change.Researchers from the RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resourc e Science (CSRS) in Japan found that growing plants in vineg ar makes them more resistant to droughts. This could mean t hat in the future, worries about climate change affecting the w orld’s supply of food will be much lower. The discovery was m ade after the researchers studied the Arabidopsis, a plant known for its ability to survive in dry weather. It w as found that when the plant was placed in drought-like conditions, it produced a chemical called acetate（醋酸盐）—the main component of vinegar.After discovering this, the scientists experimented further by a dding acetate to the soil of other plants, before they stopped g iving them water completely. After leaving the plants for 14 da ys, they found that the ones treated with acetate had survived , while the untreated plants had dried up and died.It’s hoped that this simple method of survival could soon be u sed to help farmers in dry countries keep their crops alive. "In the experiment, we targeted the staple foods of the world—rice, wheat and maize—and the basic plant of breeding species, rapeseed（油菜籽）," Jong Myong Kim, co-author of the study, told Popular Science magazine.Kim also told the magazine he’s already been in touch with pe ople all over the world who are interested in trying this simple and cost-effective method out for themselves from flower growing com panies to amateur gardeners. Although at this point keeping t hirsty plants alive isn’t as easy as just pouring vinegar over th em, Kim said he and his team are working on making the proc ess as simple as possible. "Now we are trying to cooperate wi th some farmers, and also some companies, to make a metho d to apply this system, "he said. And for those of us who alwa ys forget to ask our neighbors to water our plants when we go away, hopefully this means the end of returning home from a trip to find our favorite flowers have died.What is the article mainly about? .A. The world’s food supply will be increased.B. Plants better survive droughts.C. The Arabidopsis is resistant to droughts.D. Vinegar could be used to fight droughts.13. It was discovered that acetate can .A. be used by farmers to replace soilB. only be produced b y the ArabidopsisC. help plants survive dry conditionsD. be used to improve poor soil14. What are the target plants of the experiment?A. all breeding species.B. wheat and Arabi dopisis.C. rice and maize.D. rapeseed and Ar abidopisis.15. Jong Myong Kim’s experiment of trying out the method .A. can make people’s trips pleasantB. turned out a worldwide successC. is as simple as pouring vinegar over the plantsD. appeals to many flower growing companies二、七选五Avoid Internet Addiction__16__ Many people suffer from addition to the Internet and h ave a hard time paying attention to the important things aroun d them.
