高二英语月考试题2018.9考试范围：Units1---3 考试时间：120分钟满分：150分一、听力部分（共30分）二、阅读理解(共30分）1.（8分）AFrancis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers(哲人)of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador(大使).Two years later he went to England to study law.At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament(议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.One of the Bacon best known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it ter,by doing experiments,the scientists could see that any one cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.（21）According to the passage we know that ________.A.Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of EnglandB.Francis Bacon had good educationC.Francis Bacon worked for a French ambassador at the age of 15D.Francis Bacon stayed in France until he was 23（22）It can be known that Francis Bacon was famous for________.A.inventing the scientific method of studying things in natureB.his booksC.his method,inductive reasoningD.being a member of parliament（23）His essays gave many useful lessons on ________.A.studyingB.conversationC.friends and healthful livingD.All of the above.（24）The underlined phrase “inductive reasoning” in the last paragraph means________.A.discovering general laws from particular facts or examplesB.reaching a conclusion by reasoning from general laws to a particular caseC.studying things as they used to beD.studying things in a particular way2.（8分）BDogs are man's best friends.This everyday saying may contain some truth，but dogs are not the only animal friends that people like.For example，cats can be excellent house pets，too.People enjoy the friendship of cats.Cats love to keep close to their owners.Cats are quite playful.They love to run after balls，or play with anything hanging from a string. They especially enjoy playing when their owners play the game with them.Just like a dog，a cat can be trained to perform tricks（诡计）or avoid unwanted behaviour.Cats do not have to be walked.They get plenty of exercise in the house as they play，and they do their business in their litter boxes.So their owners only need to spend time cleaning their litter boxes.Washing a cat is almost never necessary because cats usually clean themselves.In addition，cats can be left alone at home for a few hours without any worry.Unlike some pets，most cats willnot destroy the furniture when left alone.They just go about their usual activities until their owners return.Cats are polite members of a family.Unlike dogs，cats do not make lots of loud noise. They walk very quietly.Also，cats don't often have “accidents”．Mother cats train their babies to use the litter box，and most cats will use it from that time on.Cats keep their energy by sleeping more than most animals，especially as they grow older.（25）From the passage，we can learn that ______.A.cats would rather play with themselvesB.cats often play tricks on their ownersC.many people think dogs are man's best friendsD.cats sleep less than any other animal does（26）What can be concluded（推断） from the passage?A.Cats are very easy to be kept as house pets.B.Cats need more time to do exercise than dogs.C.Cats are afraid of being left alone at home.D.Cats don't like to clean themselves.（27）In the fourth paragraph，we can learn that cats are ______.A.playfulB.cuteC.politeD.noisy（28）Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A. B. C. D.3.（6分）Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long time—at least twenty or thirty years.Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw.Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area—except for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they ______.A.live in groupsB.have large brainsC.are warmbloodedD.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that ______.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4.（8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can losejobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means ______.A.citizensB.passengersC. populationD.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A.a bad effect on other industriesB.a change of tourists' customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interestD.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.the author doesn't like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a country's economy won't benefit from tourism muchD.we can't build too many support facilities三、阅读填空(共10分）5.（10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。

Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfya deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set outto do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A. It pays to stick to one’s goal.B. Hard work can lead to success.C. She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new worl d record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since then.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantly a year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say it’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a freehotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9．How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A．more than 3 B．more than 2 C．more than 4 D．more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A．never fight with others B．never be defeated by othersC．always fight with others D．always be defeated by others 11．According to the text , he got as the world champion .A．a gold medal B．a seat beltC．hot dogs for free the whole year D．a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?”or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.12. The passage is mainly about ______.A. importance of interviewees’ qualifications in job in terviewsB. the typical questions asked in job interviewsC. some common mistakes found in job interviewsD.Do’s and Don’ts in job interviews13. A "breaking the ice" type of question is _______.A. a question that makes people unhappyB. a sharp question that makes people angryC. an opening question asked to make people less nervousD. a question asked about serious topic14. All of the following are considered to be the interviewee’s qualifications except____.A. educational backgroundB. social backgroundC. all kinds of special training receivedD. experience in previous work15. ______ is not mentioned in the passage as a mistake found in job interviews.A. Leaving the mobile onB. Having no questionsC. Arriving lateD. Criticizing previous bosses 第二节（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors. 16 .Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. 17 , then probablychildren would buy less take-away food.18 . I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, longbefore children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their childrenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and saltyfoods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very littleexercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. 19 . What they need isto go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. 20 , as well as forcing themaway from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightB. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooC. If there were fewer of these restaurantsD. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF. I feel there are a number of reasons for thisG. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose第二部分. 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节. 完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）One of Mark Twain’s classic novels is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.

ASmart Cameras to Help You Take Better PhotosGoogle ClipsOne of the latest to launch (发布) is Google Clips. It is designed to be put somewhere in a room to take pictures by itself. It can also be attached to an object or a person's clothing.Google says machine learning helps the camera choose the best times and situations for taking pictures and videos. Interested buyers can join a waiting list to be informed when it is on the market.GoPro HeroGoPro also uses machine learning to power its QuikStories characteristic. This tool takes existing photos and videos and automatically (自动地) creates a finished video piece, complete with music and effects.Snap SpectaclesMessaging app Snapchat sells a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that can record short videos with the push of a button. Snap Inc. says the product, called Spectacles, is designed to "catch the moment, without taking you out of it."The glasses can record short video clips that can be shared with Snapchat users. Snap Inc. has started selling its Spectacles sunglasses online in the United States.Apple iPhone XApple's new iPhone X is being launched with its new Face ID system that it says will unlock the phone just by having the user look at it. This replaces the TouchID on previous ones that used a fingerprint to unlock the phone.Apple says the system works by projecting more than 30,000 dots on the face to create a kind of map. Apple says its facial recognition is even secure enough to allow payments through its Apple Pay service.21. What is the special function of Google Clips?A. It can play videos by itself.B. It can take pictures automaticallyC. .It can change photos into videos.D. It can provide music and effects.22. Which of the following can now be bought on the Internet?A. Google ClipsB. GoPro HeroC. Snap SpectaclesD. Apple iPhone X23. How is Apple iPhone X unlocked?A. By facial recognition.B. By a fingerprint.C. By pushing a button.D. By making a map.BIt is generally accepted these days that reading a book will help you relieve stress. And it may actually make you a more thoughtful person as you learn to connect with the various characters. But there’s more. A new study discovered that reading more than 3.5 hours per week actually increased a person’s lifespan（寿命）by 23 percent — about 12 years for the people involved in the study.The study was led by a group of researchers at Yale University. It looked at 3,635 people, both men and women but all older than 50. The researchers divided them into three categories: those who didn’t read books; those who read up to 3.5 hours a week; those who read more than 3.5 hours a week.After the researchers adjusted for factors like education, health and income, the data showed that, on average, those who read about 3.5 hours a week were 17 percent less likely to die.In addition, the study examined people who read newspapers and magazines and found that they were 11 percent less likely to die than non-readers, but only if theyspent more than seven hours reading each week. That may be due to the different forms of these items. When people read newspapers or magazines, they tend to skim the material rather than read it fully. Avni Bavishi, the study’s leader, said, “We believe people need to know, learn and understand more things when they are reading books, because they’re longer and there are more cha racters, more plots to follow, and more connections to make.”From all of this, the authors concluded that, as with a healthy diet and exercise, books appear to promote a “significant survival advantage.”Clearly, there is a need for more study. We’re certain that book lovers all around the world will be glad to provide the data needed to make further conclusions.24. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. A few people think that reading can help them relax.B. Reading can make a person more sensitive.C. Reading can help a person to live a longer life.D. Most people think that reading can help them to live a better life.25. What can we learn about the people in the study from the text?A. All of them were older than fifty.B. Most of them were women readers.C. More than half of them were college students.D. They were divided into four groups by the researchers.26. Generally speaking, those who read newspapers and magazines ______ than those who readbooks.A. live longerB. are more likely to be positiveC. have a better ability to understandD. get fewer benefits in terms of the lifespanCDid you know that the Navy trained dolphins to find mines(地雷) which often blow up? Apparently, it was a cost-effective method; now, the Navy are preparing to replacethe dolphins with robots, not because they were doing a bad job or because they want to do a more human job, but because, guess what? Robots are more cost effective. Not particularly known for being humans, they’re also not planning to release or retire the dolphins, but they’re considering what other jobs they could be assigned to — probably some just as dangerous.“Everyone is familiar with security patrol dogs. You m ay even know that because of their exceptionally keen sense of smell, dogs like beagles are also used to detect (发现)drugs and bombs, or land mines. But a dog would not be effective in finding a sea mine,” reads the Navy’s site. “But just as the dog’s keen sense of smell makes it ideal for detecting land mines, the U.S. Navy has found that the biological sonar(声呐) of dolphins, called echolocation, makes them uniquely effective at locating sea mines so they can be avoided or removed.”The Navy will now equip underwater robots which will do the same job at a bigger distance, without needing constant rest and manned monitor. I, for one, hope the dolphins will be given a break and assigned to a safer task.27. Why will robots take the place of dolphins to find mines?A. Because dolphins do very bad jobs.B. Because dolphins are endangered animals.C. Because scientists want to be friendly to dolphins.D. Because using robots is cheaper.28. Dogs can be used to detect drugs due to ______.A. excellent sense of smellB. higher IQ compared with dolphinsC. echolocationD. biological sonar29. The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refers to ______.A. security patrol dogsB. dolphinsC. sea minesD. the US Navy30.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Robots are going to take the place of dolphins to find mines.B. Dolphins are good at finding mines.C. Robots are welcome by humans because of their efficiency.D. Compared to security patrol dogs, dolphins do well in finding sea mines.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 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。

高二英语上学期第一次(1月)月考试题高二全册英语试题
得夺市安庆阳光实验学校高二上学期英语月考测试10月满分（150）第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)AI was in a shopping mall recently, and I decided to go and get a cup of tea. As I was making my way to the coffee shop, I noticed an old gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby. I knew from the first sight that he was in need of some kind of help. He had a little lunch in front of him and was wholeheartedly enjoying it.There was a young man in front of me in the line also waiting to be served. The young man handed the servant a twenty-dollar bill and asked for an orange juice as well as a favor. The servant looked at the young man with a little surprise, not fully understanding him. The young man asked her to give the juice to the old gentleman eating his lunch outside on the bench. The young man also told her that he would be watching every second so that she would be completely safe at all times. Later, there was a wonderful exchange (交换) between the waitress and the old man.I only wished I had taken a photo of the smiles on both of their faces.As I was thinking about this event later on, I wondered why the young man didn’t just perform this act of kindness himself. I thought he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for the old man as well. Thinking of the happy smiles on the old man’s face, I felt how worthwhile it is to help others.21. The underlined word “favor” in Para. 2 refers to .A. passing the young man a cup of orange juiceB. buying lunch for the old manC. giving the juice to the old manD. exchanging meals with the old man22. Which of the following can be used to describe the young man?A. Humorous and helpful.B. Generous and proud.C. Rich and friendly.D. Kind and considerate.23. In the author’s opinion, the young man asked the serva nt to take the juice to the old man so that .A. more people would be inspired to do good deedsB. he would become famous for his good deedC. the old man could probably accept itD. he would become a friend of the servantBThe Horn of Plenty is one of the largest natural health food stores within the Greater Hamilton area. We are big supporters of buying locally and we are here to tell you why it is so important for your family, the community and the environment.The concept (概念) of buying locally is simple: buy food produced, grown, or raised as close to your home as possible. Not only will your food be fresher and tastier, but you are helping protect the environment and are supporting businesses within your community and reducing pollution.Better for the environmentSustainability (持续性) and global warming are such hot topics at the moment, and many people want to do their bit to help support a healthier environment. Small action carried out by many people can make a big difference. Most materials in an average North American meal have traveled about 1,500 miles to get from farm to plate. To cut out a big part of this travel would greatly reduce not only pollution from transportation and refrigeration but also customers’ expenses as well.Taste and nutritional contentLocally-grown fruits and vegetables are usually sold within 24 hours of being harvested. Because they are picked at the height of ripeness (成熟) and travel only a short distance to the market, their freshness, nutrition, and flavor are kept. Produce trucked in from far away may lose both taste and nutritional content.Community and home valuesWhen you buy direct from a farmer or buy locally-grown foods, you are engaging in a time-honored tradition between a grower and an eater. You also help keep dollars within your community.24. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that .A. global warming is the most serious problem nowB. the increased cost of transporting food is passed on to the customersC. North American food is rich in various kinds of materialsD. most people support buying locally25. Locally-grown fruits and vegetables taste good mostlybecause .A. they are sent to the market at a high speedB. they are not polluted by chemical fertilizerC. they can be harvested at any timeD. they are picked when they are fully grown26. According to the author, when you buy locally-grown foods .A. you can see how fruits and vegetables growB. you will become much healthier and prettierC. you will contribute to protecting the environmentD. you are making money from your community27. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. The benefits of buying locally.B. The popularity of the Horn of Plenty.C. The importance of protecting the environment.D. The way to keep your food tasty and healthy.CPeople often say that money talks. They mean that a person with a lot of money can say how he or she wants things done. But it is not easy to earn enough money to gain this kind of power.Sometimes people in business feel businesses are as dangerous as wild animals in a jungle. They have to be careful if they are to survive the jungle out there. They must not be led into making bogus investments (). Bogus means something that is not real. It was said that the word came from a criminal (罪犯) whose name was Borghese. Borghese wrote checks to people although he didn’t have money. After he wrote the checks, he would disappear. So, people who were paid with his checks received nothing.People trying to earn money also must be aware of being ripped off.A person who is ripped off has had something stolen, or at least has been treated unfairly. To keep from getting ripped off in business, people had better try to earn money step by step instead of getting rich quickly.To be successful, a person in business works hard and tries to get down to brass tacks. For example, a salesman may talk about his product without saying the price. You get down to brass tacks when you say, “It sounds good, but how mu ch does it cost?” Word experts thought the expression came from sailors on ships. They cleaned the bottom of a boat. After they finished, they were down to the brass tacks, the copper pieces that held the boat together. So, if we get down to brass tacks, we can avoid rip-offs and bogus ways of earning money.28. What would happen to those people who make bogus investments?A. They would lose a lot of money.B. They would disappear after that.C. They would receive nothing but checks.D. They were more likely to be punished by law.29. The best way to avoid being ripped off in business is to .A. work as hard as possibleB. ask for checks in advanceC. avoid becoming wealthy eagerlyD. earn as more money as you can30. When doing business, people prefer to get down to brass tacksto .A. keep themselves from being fooledB. develop more ways of earning moneyC. reduce their production costsD. get in touch with more partners31. In which part of a newspaper can we find this passage?A. News and business.B. The history of language.C. Words and their stories.D. Funny new expressions. DMore often than not, people will look at the phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook. Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong need to look at our phones. Using the mobile phone, they say, is contagious (蔓延的).A team says people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their text messages or e-mails if they’re with someone that has just done the same. They also found that women were more likely to use their mobile phones than men. The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around the college, observing pairs of college students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recording their cellphone use. “What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones,” Dr. Daniel Kruger, the study’s co-author, said. “Every person we studied used his or her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time. People saw others checking their incoming messages and began to check their own.”“Cellphones create another choice for one’s attention and may both support and disagre e with live social activities,” the researchers wrote. Kruger believed this could be explained by the effects of social inclusion (包含) and exclusion (排除). If one person in a pair starts a conversation through his phone, the other one may feel excluded and then feel the need to get in touch with others so as not to feel left out.The researchers note that they might not get the same result in a study of different people—for example, older adults, who may not havea habit of using cellphones so often.32. From the study we can learn that .A. people can affect each other in using mobile phonesB. using mobile phones has nothing to do with social activitiesC. men are more likely to be affected by others’ using mobile phonesD. the sound of mobile phones makes using mobile phones contagious33. If old adults are studied, the researchers .A. will find that old adults don’t like to use mobile phonesB. will find that mobile phones are harmful to healthC. will no longer like using mobile phonesD. may reach a different result34. Which can best describe the author’s attitude towards using mobile phones?A. Supportive.B. Objective.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.35. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. How to use mobile phones correctlyB. Why college students like mobile phonesC. Relation between mobile phones and people’s hobbiesD. Something interesting about the habit of using mobile phones第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

It is the first US city to take such a strong step to keep this technology under control.When a computer system identifies a person from their face in a picture, it’s called “facial recognition” (面部识别). Many police departments use facial recognition. It can be helpful when the police just have a picture of a suspect (嫌疑犯）,but no other information. Normally, even with facial recognition the police must have other proof showing that a person is guilty. But many people say facial recognition programs aren’t good enough yet. The programs can usually recognize white men. But they’re not so good at identifying women and people with darker skin. They worry that “false matches” --- when the computer thinks it has identified a person, but it’s wrong --- will make innocent (无罪的) people look like criminals.For companies like Amazon and Microsoft, facial recognition is a big business. Amazon has worked hard to sell their facial recognition to police departments around the US. Microsoft sells tools that allow prisons to watch people inside.To work well, facial recognition programs must have a great number of pictures of people. But most people whose pictures are in the systems never gave permission (许可) for their pictures to be used.Many people worry that using computers to identify or track people will decrease freedom. Now, in many places, facial recognition is used to keep people under control and much of public life is watched on security cameras. Similarly, many cities in America and Europe are also almost completely covered by security cameras. Police officers now often wear cameras on their bodies, recording all the time. It’s usually not clear when governments are using facial recognition and how they are using it.Facial recognition is already being used at airports throughout Europe and in the US. The Department of Homeland Security expects to have picture of 97% of the people flying out of the country in the next four years.As these powerful computer programs become more common, San Francisco’s move to control facial recognition is an unusual and strong move to limit the way governments use computers to watch and control people.28.Why do people worry about facial recognition programs?A.They cannot multiply people’s responsibility.B.They cannot help the police identify good people.C.They will mistake innocent people for bad people.D.They will identify black people instead of white people.29.How can facial recognition programs function effectively?panies should work with each other.B.People should have more pictures taken.C.They should include as many pictures as possible.D.Police departments and prisons should be under control.30.What make people feel their freedom is on the decrease?A.There are the police everywhere.B. A lot of security cameras are used.C. More people are forced to stay at home.D. Governments focus more on facial recognition.31. What’s San Francisco’s attitude towards government workers using facial recognition?A. DisapprovingB. SupportiveC. DoubtfulD. Optimistic5.（8分）DMany people think of the brain as a mystery（神秘）．They don’t know much about intelligence and how it works．When they think about what intelligence is, many people believe that a person is born either smart, average, or dumb（愚笨的）—and stays that way for life．But new research shows that the brain is more like a muscle — it changes and gets stronger when you use it．And scientists have been able to show just how the brain grows and gets stronger when you learn．Everyone knows that when you lift weights, your muscles get bigger and you get stronger.A person who can’t lift 20 pounds when they start exercising can get strong enough to lift 100 pounds after working out for a long time．That’s because the muscles become larger and stronger with exercise．And when you stop exercising, the muscles shrink（萎缩）and you get weaker．That’s why people say, “Use it or lose it!”But most people don’t know that when they practice and learn new things, parts of their brain change and get larger a lot like muscles do when they exercise．Inside the cortex (脑皮层)of the brain are billions of tiny nerve cells（神经细胞）．Communication between these brain cells is what allows us to think and solve problems．When you learn new things, these tiny connections in the brain actually multiply and get stronger．The more you challenge your mind to learn, the more your brain cells grow．Then, things that you once found very hard or even impossible to do seem to become easy．The result is a stronger and smarter brain．Scientists started thinking that the human brain could develop and change when they studied animals’ brains．They found out that animals who lived in a challenging environment, with other animals and toys to play with, were more “aptitudinal”—they were better at solving problems and learning new things．32．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Scientists show strong interest in what intelligence is．B．A new study shows the brain can be developed like a muscle．C．Both muscles and the brain are important to humans．D．Intelligence exists in both humans and animals．33．By using such numbers as 20 and 100 in Paragraph 2,the author tries to provethat ．A．exercise plays an important role in keeping muscles strongerB．exercise is more important to people than most of the animalsC．everyone can keep healthy if they do enough exercisesD．everyone should learn as many new things as possible34．Like stronger muscles come from exercise, smarter brains need ．A．to be well taken care of B．a good communication between personsC．help from scientists D．our learning new things35．What does the underlined word “aptitudinal” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Strong B．Lovely C．Smart D．Active三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）How to manage your email inbox36 .We love it and we hate it. We need it and want it, but too often the price we pay is that.

Set a timer on your phone and stick to it.Scan your inbox. 39 At the same time, leave out everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first.40 Instead of creating an email, try speaking with the person you want to communicate with.

By society’s 22 , they seem to have it made.On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life.

They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine 25 a college year’s monthly rent. They replaced their b eloved old car with expensive new sports cars.The thing is, a number of them have 26 that despite their success, they aren’t happy. Some 27 of unfriendly co-workers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they 28 . Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and 29 . However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the 30 to which they have so quickly become 31 .People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and 32 in the end the idea of leaving their jobs to work for something they 33 or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion; it’s 34 . They have loans, bills, a mortgage（抵押贷款）to 35 , retirement to save for. They recognize there’s something 36 in their lives, butit’s 37 to step off the track.In a society that tends to 38 everything in terms of dollars and cents, we learn form a young age to consider the costs of our 39 in financial terms.
