2020-2021学年山东省德州市高三（上）期末英语试卷1.（填空题，7.5分）Some Phrases That Defined 2020For the first time since 2004，when Oxford Languages,the publisher of the O.E.D.，started choosing a Word of the Year 2020，it declined to pick just one.We couldn't pick one,either.But here are some words and phrases that we think capture what it felt like to be alive in 2020. BlursdayThe passage of time itself became seemingly unreliable this year,as some days felt like a week while some months flew by in an instant.Our friends even launched a newsletter called "What Day Is It？"Remote learningFarah Miller,an editor,shares her family's experience with remote learning this year. "Schools shuttered without a plan for how to teach homebound kids.My preschooler was given five worksheets and a list of activities she couldn't possibly do on her own.Or are they really remotely learning？That was the question Ⅰ，along with parents across the US，found myself asking in the spring."Social distancingAs experts learned more about the spread of the virus, "6 feet" became the golden number；the distance we should stay away from others to prevent the spread of COVID-19，yes,but also a shorthand for how to navigate socialization in the new world.ZoomUp until around March of this year,Zoom was unknown to the public.Then the home became the office for millions of Americans,and our social lives moved entirely online.Almost overnight Zoom emerged as the go-to platform for private citizens,religious services and universities. "We Live in Zoom Now," The Times even declared.（1）In what situation can the word "blursday" be used according to the passage？ ___A.One is anxious about humans' future.B.One misses the good old days.C.One fails to choose a word to define 2020.D.One is not sure what day it is.（2）What's the attitude of Farah Miller to remote learning？ ___A.Indifferent.B.Doubtful.C.Curious.D.Satisfied.（3）What does Zoom most probably function as？ ___A.An online platform keeping people's social activities.B.An app reminding people of "6 feet" social distance.C.A newsletter to update the information of COVID-19.D.A hi-tech instrument to keep track of people's health.2.（填空题，10分）In the first days of my honeymoon,I travelled to Vasto,a small town with its beautiful landscape in central Italy,to retrace the same steps my great-grandmother Filomena walked after her own wedding,almost 100 years earlier.Vasto wasn't on my radar in the early stages of planning my honeymoon,but when learning that it wasn't far from the month-long route,I considered a visit.How could I be so close and not see where Filomena came from？Anyway,I'd been so busy planning my own wedding that I didn't have much time to think about what it meant to be married.As I was trying to figure out what a new family might look like,it also made sense to turn to the past.The story of my family I knew started when Filomena set foot in New York by ship in 1922.But after I travelled to Vasto where she grew up,the starting point of her story shifted.I began to consider Filomena as a young,adventurous woman planning a new life far from home.Her husband,Domenico,had already gone ahead to work there.She had no other family in the US，and yet she was prepared to get on a boat in Naples and sail into the unknown.Her willingness to see what could remind me of marriage：you don't have to know what's coming next,you just need to want to go.Then we visited the edge of a valley near Filomena's house.In 1956，part of the world Filomena grew up in almost disappeared during a landslide.When she returned for visits later in life,she saw a landscape different from what she had remembered.Even the things we expect to be permanent aren't always so.A few days spent walking in Filomena's footsteps,knowing all the unexpected turns that life threw at her over five decades of marriage,I realized that you can never plan for life's uncertainties or crave an outline for the future.If that kind of anxiety somehow creeps back in,I'll think of Filomena on the deck of a steam ship,uncertain,but moving forward anyway.（1）Why did the author go to Vasto during her honeymoon？ ___A.To find out what the lifestyle was like there.B.To explore the true meaning of marriage.C.To reunite with her great-grandmother there.D.To enjoy the scenic beauty of Italy.（2）What did the author find about her great-grandmother？ ___A.She never expected a life abroad.B.She felt scared of the marriage.C.She dared to challenge a new life ahead.D.She knew well what her future was like.（3）What inspiration did the changed landscape bring to the author？ ___A.Humans need to protect the nature.B.The power of nature is hard to control.C.Things always go smoothly as expected.D.Life is always full of uncertainties.（4）How will the author react to the misfortunes in her life after the visit to Vasto？ ___A.Check the situation and make plans for it.B.Follow Filomena's footsteps and keep going.C.Predict how things will go and avoid the bad.D.Evaluate the uncertainties and change them.3.（填空题，10分）China launched a large robotic spacecraft on Nov.24，2020 at the Wenchang Space Launch Center in South China's Hainan province,tasking it with landing on the moon and bringing back lunar samples,44 years after the last time such substances were brought back to Earth.If everything proceeds smoothly,about 2 kilograms of stones and soil will be collected and packed in a vacuum metal container.The entire mission is scheduled to last about 23days,according to the China National Space Administration.Considering these highly sophisticated operations,Chang'e 5 will be more difficult and challenging than previous Chinese lunar expeditions,designers have said.According to a statement published by the space administration,the Chang'e 5 mission is intended to fulfill several objectives.In terms of space engineering,it will demonstrate technical plans and apparatus for autonomous lunar sampling and packing and moon-based launching,as well as lunar orbital docking.In the scientific field,it will investigate the landing site's features,and enable scientists to analyze the lunar samples' structure and physical traits so they can deepen their research into the moon's origin and evolution.It added that the mission also will help to foster the country's knowledge,technology and talent pool for its future manned missions to the moon and other deepspace expeditions.Pei Zhaoyu,spokesman for the Chang'e 5 mission,said if the mission becomes successful,it will be a milestone in the nation's lunar exploration and will show the world China'sscientific,technological and engineering capabilities.Furthermore,Chang'e 5 will strengthen the nation's status and influence in the international space community,pave the way for the country's future lunar expeditions and boost its space science,and will offer more opportunities to lunar researchers around the world.Scientists around the world are welcome to participate in the research related to the lunar samples brought back by the mission.China will publish a set of guidelines about the use and distribution of the samples after the mission.（1）What can we learn about the mission of Chang'e 5？ ___A.It was exactly the same as 44 years ago.B.It will help to complete space walking.C.It aims to bring back lunar samples.D.It will try to land on the moon for the first time.（2）What does the underlined word "sophisticated" mean in Para 2？ ___A.impossibleplexC.ambitiousD.effective（3）What will the success of the Chang'e 5 convey to the world according to Pei？ ___A.The first nation to bring lunar samples back in the world.B.A further step in understanding the evolution of the earth.C.More competition in lunar expeditions with other countries.D.China's scientific,technological and engineering abilities.（4）What's the best title of the passage？ ___A.The landmark mission of Chang'e 5.B.A new guideline from the moon samples.C.New opportunities to lunar researchers.D.China's scientific contributions.4.（填空题，10分）It was decades ago,but it's still one of the most memorable conversations of my life.On a long,slow train rattling north,with nothing to do but watch the rain,the guy sitting opposite began trying to talk to me.Like most young women who have learned the hard way to be cautious of strangers,I reacted coldly.But curiosity took over when he said that he was just bored,and liked talking.So that's what we did,for hours and hours,since he turned out to be very talkative.When the train eventually pulled in,we didn't swap numbers-it was a conversation strictly of its time-but I still think about it occasionally on long,boring journeys,before getting a phone out and scrollingsilently like everyone else.Rarely can a person cheerfully break the social taboo（禁忌）about talking to strangers without any trace of ill intention but life would be more interesting if more of us knew how to do itAnd that's why I feel it ridiculous about a campaign launched this week to heal bitter national divides by encouraging Britons to talk to each other.Obviously,it takes more than a small talk over garden fences to unite a divided nation now.More people live alone than they did a generation ago,and we socialise increasingly through screens instead of bothering to call.In reality,social media platforms designed to bring people together have unknowingly fueled the division.It is true that the "tube chat" campaign of a few years back failed in its attempt to make Londoners talk to each other on public transport.But even city residents who would normally die rather than make eye contact with strangers still happily join the large crowds of people by the Thames for the New Year's Eve fireworks.They would get a far better view at home on TV-it's not really about the fireworks,but being part of social engagement.There's no guarantee that this latest attempt to reconnect will succeed,but I hope that my temporary train friend then is still talking,wherever he is now.（1）What led the author to start the talk with the guy on the train？ ___A.Her growing interest in communication.B.Her typical easygoing personality.C.Her habit of chatting with strangers.D.The intention of the train journey.（2）What has made talking to strangers a social taboo among the Britons？ ___A.A lack of basic communicating skills.B.The absence of common topics.C.The concern for personal safety.D.The addiction to social media.（3）How does technology affect people's mutual connection？ ___A.It is bringing people together in a larger sense.B.It is positively helping break the national boundaries.C.It has made people more divided than connected.D.It is the key driving force of removing divisions.（4）What does the highly-attended firework show indicate？ ___A.Tube chat campaign can never make it. programs at home are not appealing.C.The charm of the fireworks is hard to resist.D.People's desire to connect is still alive.5.（填空题，12.5分）We all do it.We put off that annoying task for five more minutes,then for thirty minutes,then for hours,until it doesn't get done at all.（1）___ We spend so much time stressing over the unfinished task.Caught up in the cycle of procrastination（拖延），we almost forget how to effectively tackle hard tasks.However,there is something you can do to nip procrastination in the bud and take back control over your daily life.（2）___ We only have a limited supply of willpower.Once it's been used up for theday,chances of us tackling hard tasks are pretty slim.Dive into your hardest task when your energy level is at its highest.This will ensure the best results.Divide the task into smaller tasks.We tend to get overwhelmed when a giant project comes ahead of us,not knowing where to start.Keep in mind that forests are made up of individual trees.Though unable to take down a whole forest at once,you could certainly start with one tree or even a branch.（3）___ Complete a small step each day,and you'll feel less worried with each new task you accomplish.Schedule your tasks on the calendar.（4）___ To avoid this,create a practical plan.It will help you move past the initial paralysis you feel.Instead of just writing the tasks down in a to-do list,take it a step further and identify when and how you'll accomplish it.This will help avoid a large part of what holds you back.（5）___Though it feels impossible,you can accomplish everything you need to every single day.With a fresh perspective and a detailed plan,you'll be on your way to ending your procrastination once and for all.A.Tackle the most difficult task first.B.Creating the plan is half the battle.C.Dedicate yourself for a small period of time.D.And the worst part is that we still find it hard to enjoy our day.E.Break down what seems impossible into small achievable parts.F.Just set an alarm on our phone to ring at a fixed moment every day.G.Nothing can make us more guilty than ending a day without a single task accomplished.6.（填空题，15分）When faced with a pandemic,people may become more forgiving.For me,this has become a time to（1）___ my estranged（疏远的）father.When the COVID-19 lockdown started,my thoughts turned to my father I（2）___ know.He'd separated from my mother when I was a baby,and

Beside him is a desperate mother yelling at the top of her lungs. Raising a well-behaved kid is really a head-scratching thing.If you took all the parenting styles around the world and ranked them by their gentleness, the Inuit(因纽特人) approach would certainly rank near the top. All the moms mention one golden role: Don’t shout or yell at small children.Inuit’s no-yelling policy is their central component to raising cool-headed kids. The culture views scolding, or even speaking to children in all angry voice, as inappropriate, although little kids are pushing parents' buttons.Playful“storytelling”is another trick to sculpting kids’behavior. But this storytelling differs hugely from those fairy tales full of moral lessons. Parents“retell” what happened when a boy threw a tantrum(发脾气)by way of what Shakespeare would understand all too well:p utting on a“drama”. After the child has calmed down, the parents will review what happened when the child misbehaved, usually starting with a question: “Can you show us how to throw a tantrum?”Then the child has to think what he should do. If he takes the bait and performs the action, the mom will ask a follow-up question with a playful tone. For example: “Does that seem right?”or“Are you a baby?”She is getting across the idea that“big boys”won’t throw a tantrum.Kids’brains are still developing the circui try needed for self-contro1. What you do in response to your children’s emotions shapes their brains. So next time, seeing your boy misbehave, try using the Inuit’s storytelling approach. And don’t forget to keep coo1. After all, boys will be boys.5．Which of the following best explains“pushing parents’ buttons”underlined in Paragraph 2? A．Talking with parents. B．Playing with parents’buttons. C．Exposing parents’faults.D．Making parents annoyed.6．What do we know about Inuit’s “storytelling”?A．It aims at playing a trick on kids. B．It raises kids’awareness of morality.

D．Skeptical.8．What’s the main idea of the text?A．Inuit’s approach to parenting.B．Values of reading literary works.C．Causes of children’s misbehavior.D．Parents’responses to“storytelling”.When John was growing up, other kids felt sorry for him. His parents always had him weeding the garden, carrying out the garbage and delivering newspapers. But when John reached adulthood，he was better off than his childhood playmates. He had more job satisfaction, a better marriage and was healthier. Most of all, he was happier. Far happier.These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston. The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not. “Boys who worked in the home or comm unity gainedcompetence（能力）and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society, ” said George Vaillant, the psychologist（心理学家）who made the discovery. “And because they felt good about themselves, others felt good about them.”Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail. Interviews were repeated at ages 25, 31and 47. Under Vaillant, the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores. Points were awarded for part-time jobs, housework, effort in school, and ability to deal with problems.The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp. Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people, five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed. The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out.Working—at any age—is important. Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility, independence, confidence and competence—the underpinnings（基础）of emotional health. They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals. The most competent adults are those who know how to do this. Yet work isn't everything. As Tolstoy once said, “One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love, to work for the person one loves and to love one's work.”9．What do we know about John？A．He received little love from his family.B．He had few childhood playmates.C．He enjoyed his career and marriage.D．He was envied by others in his childhood.10．V aillant’s words in Paragraph 2 serve as _______.A．a description of personal values and social valuesB．an analysis of how work was related to competenceC．an example for parents' expectations of their childrenD．an explanation why some boys grew into happy men11．Vaillant's team got their findings by _______.A．recording the boys' effort in schoolB．comparing different sets of scoresC．evaluating the men's mental healthD．measuring the men's problem solving ability12．What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A．Competent adults know more about love than work.B．Emotional health is essential to a wonderful adult life.C．Love brings more joy to people than work does.D．Independence is the key to one's success.The World Health Organization recently said that it planned to add gaming disorder(游戏成瘾)to its new list of disease classifications, angering the gaming industry but pleasing doctors who hope it may make treatment more easily available.Some US experts said it would make little difference when it comes to helping people with the disorder, although others said it would bring attention to a disorder that people sometimes don’t recognize. Many of us enjoy video games, but does playing our favorite game for a couple of hours every night mean we’re suffering from gaming disorder? Not, according to the WHO. The symptoms listed by the WHO include a lack of control over gaming, treating gaming more seriously than other life interests and daily activities, and continuing to play games despite the negative consequences that playing them might have. “The behavior pattern is enough to result in significa nt damage to one’s personal, family, or social life,”the WHO said.Meanwhile, Douglas Gentile of Iowa State University has carried out influential research into the cause of gaming addiction in young people. “I and many others had assumed that gaming is n ot really a problem but is a symptom of other problems,”he told NBC News. Many had thought it was simply a failure of self-control.To see if it was，Gentile’s team studied a group of children who had been gaming for several years. “We found that when kids became addicted，their anxiety increased…and their grades decreased,”Gentile said. When kids were able to back off from gaming, their symptoms disappeared, he added. Gentile thinks medical organizations should pay attention to the WHO’s proposal. “This isn’t an issue of opinion; it’s all issue of science,”he said. “This is a major scientific and medical organization. They don’t do things lightly and without reason.”Dr Petros Levounis, chair of psychiatry at the New Jersey Medical School at Rutgers Universit y, said that he hoped the WHO’s proposal would lead to more research into obsessive (过度的)behavior among all types of people. “Now，there is renewed interest and excitement,”he said.13．Which of the following is a sign of gaming disorder according to the WHO? A．Putting games before everything else.B．Keeping playing until winning the games.C．Playing games for several hours every night.D．Having a few hobbies besides playing games.14．Why is Gentile’s research mentioned?A．To explain the cause of gaming addiction.B．To show the influence of gaming disorder.C．To show the reasons behind the WHO’ s decision.D．To introduce the study that influenced the WHO’s proposal.15．What can we learn from what Levounis said?A．It needed further research to make it more convincing.B．It would do little to help people with gaming addiction.C．It would encourage new cures for gaming disorder.D．It would encourage studies about similar diseases.16．What does the author intend to tell us about gaming disorder?A．Its description. B．Controversial views.C．Its harmful effects. D．Explanations of the WHO’s decision.二、七选五I feel happy when I come home at the end of the day and see those big, graphic prints on my wall. They make my tiny New York apartment feel more home and more purposeful; more like me. Why? 17．You’re probably not trying to spend crazy dollars on art for your home—who is? Maybe you just graduated and know you need to upgrade from that poster of Einstein with his tongue out taped to your dorm wall that was supposed to make you look“smart yet playful”Perhaps you just bought a home! That’s expensive ! 18．Pieces that attract your personality, express your taste, or just make you laugh aren’t restricted to gallery purchases.Don’t panic if you don’t know wher e to startArt. comWhen you want affordable but classy art prints, go to Art. com website. 19．Cast a glancetheir website and you’ll be greeted with a window offering 50％off your first order if you fork over your email address.

It sells prints in a variety of sizes so you can customize a whole gallery wall with picks from their artists. Currently, I become interested in Beth Hoeckel’s collage art and the vintage-looking prints from aapshop.eBayNothing angers me more than“stealing”a piece from one of my favorite shops, only to have it sell out before I can get my hands on it. eBay is my go-to next step. 21．From wall hangings to tabletop sculptures eBay is a treasure of art finds.A．It is all inexpensive source for prints.B．You can search by size, color and style.C．I've obtained quite a few pieces that originally got away.D．Coming home to beautiful art improves my quality of life.E.It is another site if you’re unsure what you’re looking for.F.A can’t-miss home decoration tip is to put“cheap”art in a nice frame.G.Being on a tight budget does not stop you from surrounding yourself with great art.三、完形填空When I became a junior, I decided to take Latin at school. I was so 22 about taking that class, and I was fully expecting to be able to understand every word I’d ever come across once I learned Latin.But Latin class was so 23 . Each day, the teacher Mr. Keady would ask us to open our books and recite aloud the various Latin forms of words. This became the 24 every day. That was until my hand 25 one afternoon when we were asked yet again to open our books.When Mr. Keady asked what was wrong, I 26 why I thought that his class was dull, how I had expected more, and that his method of teaching was 27 . When I finished speaking, I 28 Mr. Keady to angrily send me to the head teacher.But instead, he sat at his desk quietly, looking defeated and tired. After several moments of 29 , Mr. Keady spoke. He quietly and firmly said that he would think carefully about whatI’d said. And that was it.In the following weeks, Latin class didn’t become the exciting learning environ ment I hoped it would, but Mr. Keady did try harder.

2020-2021学年德州中学高三英语上学期期末考试试题及答案解析第一部分阅读（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AThank you. It’s my great honor to be given this award.You cannot imagine that I have always been a late starter. Years ago, when I was 16, I took an important exam — GCE(General Certificate of Education), which turned out to be a failure. My dad was reading my report card and saw that my position in class was 29th, but the number in class was 29. It meant that I had achieved the distinction of being bottom of my class.I wasn’t lazy, and I was really trying. You can picture how I felt. Dad put his hand on my shoulder and said, “You can only do the best you can, but whatever you decide to do, make sure you love it.” He was a really sweet guy and a great man. I knew his attempt to hide his disappointment with some of his encouraging words. I was depressed for a week, but his advice was a wake-up call.Fortunately I love working with my hands, and I was good at two things: woodwork and art, and I really loved to draw and paint. I was quite talented. Dad strongly encouraged me to go to art school, which in those days wasn’t the obvious place that a father would suggest.So I got into Hartlepool College of Art. The college was a revelation (出乎意料), the passionate teachers there, who were extremely interested in the students, not just tolerating them but actually engaging with them. It was a world apart from my schooling until then. It’s extraordinary what an enthusiastic teacher can do, drawing the student out, lighting independence, and encouraging a design of your own future, rather than waiting for something to happen. I’m honored to have become one of these passionate teachers years later.My teachers inspired me, and thanks to my dad, here I am tonight. I think I should mention all the talents I have worked with over time, and to my kids and my wife Giannina, thank you.Thank you for this great award. I shall find a very special place for it.1. How did the author feel after taking GCE?A. Happy.B. Upset.C. Tired.D. Relieved.2. What didHartlepoolCollege of Art impress the author most?A. The teachers were strict with students.B. The students set good examples for each other.C. The teachers inspired students’ passion for learning.D. The students got prepared for their lessons independently.3. The author gave this speech to ________.A. share his career choiceB. explain his teaching methodsC. describe his life experienceD. show his appreciationBA company called Neuralink has shared a video where a monkey is playing a video game. That' s fairly unusual, but what makes the video even stranger is that the monkey is playing the video game with just his mind.The monkey in the video is called Pager who has two of Neuralink's special "Link" devices(装置)inside his brain. The devices planted in Pager's brain are connected to 2,048 wires which lead to the parts of Pager's brain that control movements of the arms and hands.Scientists taught Pager to play a video game. At first, Pager controlled the video game using a joystick it, which is a normal gaming controller. But as Pager played, his Link devices wirelessly sent out information about the signals his brain was using to control his arms and hands. Neuralink's scientists recorded all of these signals.Then they used computers to match the signals from Pager's brain to the movements that his hands were actually doing. This was the most difficult work and the scientists counted on artificial intelligence ( AI) to help them decode(解码)Pager's brain signals.The final step was to have a computer make moves inthe video game as if Pager had actually moved the joystick. If Pager thought about moving the joystick up, the computer would send an “up” signal to the video game.At first, the researchers let Pager keep moving the joystick with his hand, even though it was no longer connected to the computer. But soon Pager was able to play the video game using just his brain.Even though Neuralink's work right now focuses on animals and video games, there's a very serious purpose behind it. Neuralink wants to make it possible for humans who have lost the ability to make physical movements to interact with the world around them.4. What are “Link” devices used to do?A. To pick up the arms' and hands' signals.B. To link the computer to the monkey's brain.C. To send out information about the brain's signals.D. To control movements of the arms and hands.5. What challenged scientists most in the study?A. Recording and sending out body signals.B. Training Pager to use the joystick correctly.C. Planting "Link" devices into Pager's brain.D. Matching brain signals to body movements.6. What is Neuralink's real purpose of the study?A. To test artificial intelligence.B. To help those without arms or legs.C. To study how animals play video games.D. To develop more complex video games.7. What can be the best title for the text?A. Video Games for Animals Are Developed.B. Science Proves the Intelligence of Monkeys.C. Monkey Plays Video Games Using His Mind.D. Neuralink Is Leading the World in Technology.CMany cars in advertisements and on exhibition in the United States are red, blue or green, but almost 75 percent of new cars sold in the United States are black, white, silver orgray.Les Jackson is a reporter who writes about cars. He says the color1 s of cars Americans choose do not show dirt. He says that means the owners wash their cars less in order to save money. And he notes some areas that are suffering from water shortages do not permit people to wash their cars often.Dan Benton works for a company called Axalta, which makes supplies for international car makers. He says white cars are often sold more expensive than cars of other color1 s. And he notes that white cars “absorb(吸收)less energy” than cars of other color1 s. This means temperatures inside them are lower in warmer areas. Benton also says research at Monash University in Australia suggests that there is a lower risk of crashes during the day for white cars compared with darker ones.Car buyers in other countries also like white. Jane Harrington works for PPG Industries, a company that makes paint for cars. She said in China, buyers say white makes a small car look bigger.About 11 percent of cars sold in North America are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. Benton notes that in the mid-1990s green was the most popular color1 in North America. Today, green is hard to find.Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color1 of their cars —— technology may let owners change their cars’ paint color1 anytime.8. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Most Americans don’t like red cars.B. People in America are not allowed to wash their cars.C. Many people prefer to choose white cars in America.D. Americans may consider the cost of cleaning when choosing cars.9. Why do many people choose white cars?A. They are much cheaper than cars of other color1 s..B. They are much safer while crashing.C. They are bigger than cars of other color1 s.D. They are more comfortable inside in warmer areas.10. What do we know from the text?A. Les Jackson is a member of Axalta.B. Most Americans rarely wash their cars.C. PPG Industries mainly produces cars in China.D. Green cars were once popular in North America.11. What does the text mainly tell us?A. Choices of car color1 sB. How to buy a good car.C. Differences of car color1 s.D. Popular car color1 s in history.DI was in the second year of my Ph. D. program when a colleague asked what I would do if I had an extra hour every day. Without much consideration, I said I would use it to help others. The question kept coming to my mind. Like many graduate students, I was overwhelmed (难以承受的) with research, teaching, coursework, and some attempt at a personal life. Still, I asked myself, "Do I really need a 25th hour to help other people-or do I need to make better use of the 24 hours I have?"I needed something to help me return to my old self. After that conversation with my colleague, I googled (谷歌搜索) “volunteer opportunities near me”. A local organization that drives people to stores or appointments was looking for volunteers. Having grown up in a rural village where everyone knew oneanother and my grandparents were always close by, I thought serving senior citizens in my new hometown might be just what I needed.A short time later, I started to volunteer for an organization that provides transportation for senior citizens and people with disabilities. To my surprise, adding this activity to my busy life was just what I needed to calm the confusion I was feeling as a first-generation international graduate student.I started to volunteer about 3 hours every weekend, the time I otherwise would have wasted oversleeping or scrolling (滚屏) through social media. Sharing stories with my riders was much more rewarding. What they told me about their lives helped me realize that in every corner of the world, humans are connected with the languageof emotions. And seeing how eager my riders were to spend time out and about inspired me to think about how to spend my time, which used to slip away. My previously overwhelming schedule began to feel manageable.I'm proud of who I have become, and I continue to reflect on how I'm using the most valuable thing in life: my time.12. Why did the author ask himself the question in Paragraph 1?A. He wanted to return to normal life.B. He was busy but wanted to help others.C. He couldn't bear too much school work.D. He couldn't answer his colleague's question.13. How did the author find the volunteer job?A. A colleague recommended it.B. A local organization offered it.C. He got it from his grandparents.D. He got it by surfing on the Internet.14. What made the author feel his volunteer job was worth doing?A. Communicating with his riders.B. Improving his language learning.C. Meeting his grandparents often.D. Realizing his previous dream.15. How did volunteering influence the author?A. It helped himbecome confident and efficient.B. He found a good way to live a free and quiet life.C. He realized he had wasted too much time pursuing his Ph.D.D. It inspired him to spare more time to accompany his grandparents.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。

Limit the time for children to use Douyin.B. Encourage parents to use their real names.C. Allow children to use Douyin after 10 p.m.D. Attract more children to watch online videos.14.Which opinion will the experts agree with probably______A. Limiting usage of Douyin is of little significance.B. The measures won't have effects on other platforms.C. The self-management of the Internet platforms is enough.D. The Internet platforms should take more responsibilities.15.What can we infer about tech companies from paragraph 4？______A. They wanted to take the place of Douyin.B. Their business should follow the new law.C. They refused to set up corresponding function.D. Their influence was discovered by media research firms.16.What's the main purpose of the government's measures______A. To encourage online games.B. To protect the next generation.C. To develop advanced technology.D. To reduce the kids' learning pressure.DTo solve a big environmental problem,chemists have been thinking small.Really small：a new mini robot with the purpose of helping clean up tiny plastic polluting water across the globe. The new microrobots,each of which is no bigger than the tip of a pencil,are magnetic（磁性的）and shaped like four-pointed stars.When the sunlight shines on them,they can swim in a specific direction；when the sunlight disappears,they stop moving.Finding a piece of plastic,they hold onto it,produce chemical reactions and start to break it down.The project is led by chemist Martin Pumera,a researcher who also studies ways to build microrobots at the Czech University in Prague.About ten years ago,he noticed the microplastic was everywhere,from the bottom of the ocean to the ice on the top of mountains.It even turned up in drinking water,both bottled and tap water.Just think about how much plastic you encounter every day.It doesn't easily degrade（降解），which is a bigproblem.Therefore,Pumera chose to focus on the problem of water pollution caused by microplastic.The researchers tested the microrobots on four types of plastic in the lab.After a week,all four began degrading,losing between 0.5 and 3 percent of their weight,which indicated they were breaking down.The robots also turned the plastic's smooth surface into rough.Finally,they could be collected for reuse along with the plastic waste without causing new pollution.In fact,Pumera says they still have a long way to go.These microrobots are unlikely to succeed in degrading all types of plastics.They'll also need a lot of testing to show that they're safe in open waterways,such as at sea.But he thinks that these challenges can beovercome.Someday,the microrobots will play a big role in a worldwide cleanup effort.17.What can be learned about the new microrobot______A. It is of a round shape.B. It is as small as a pencil.C. It is driven by sunlight.D. It uses physical reaction.18.What inspired Pumera to design the microrobot？______A. The ice on the mountains.B. Secrets of the ocean bottom.C. The lack of drinking water.D. The microplastic pollution.19.How does a microrobot deal with the plastic？______A. Collecting it for reuse.B. Making its surface smooth.C. Absorbing it completely.D. Breaking it down to some extent.20.What is Pumera's attitude to their future research？______A. Doubtful.B. Confident.C. Regretful.D. Critical.三、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）After his father was sent to the hospital,Desouvre fell into a great anxiety.So he did the one thing to calm himself：He wrote.Over the next few weeks,Desouvre filled several notebooks,writing about his worry as well as his happy memories with his dad.
