卓识教育深圳实验部2017-2018学年度第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷

卓识教育深圳实验部2017-2018学年度第二学期高二年级期中考试英语试卷满分:150分时量:120分钟第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AWhat time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devot e to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.1. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.A. your slave and serves youB. your supporter and helps youC. under your control and obeys youD. under your influence and follows you2. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watchB. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodiesC. should be well managed for our own interestD. should be saved for outside interests3. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.A. how to keep up with the timesB. how to make up for lost timeC. how to have a good timeD. how to make good use of timeBA Brown University sleep researcher has some advice for people who run high schools: Don’t start classes so early in the morning. It may not be that the students who nod off at their desks are lazy. And it may not be that their parents have failed to enforce (确保) bedtime. Instead, it may be that biologically these sleepyhead students aren’t u sed to the early hour.“Maybe these kids are being asked to rise at the wrong time for their bodies,” says Mary Carskadon, a professor looking at problem of adolescent sleep at Brown’s School of Medicine.Carskadon is trying to understand more about the effects of early school time in adolescents. And, at a more basic level, she and her team are trying to learn more about how the biological changes of adolescence affect sleep needs and patterns.Carskadon says her work suggests that adolescents may need more sleep than they did at childhood, no less, as commonly thought.Sleep patterns change during adolescence, as any parent of an adolescent can prove. Most adolescents prefer to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning. But it’s not just a matt er of choice –their bodies are going through a change of sleep patterns.All of this makes the transfer(转移) from middle school to high school—which may start one hour earlier in the morning---- all the more difficult, Carskadon says. With their increased need for sleep and their biological clocks set on the “sleep late, rise late” pattern, adolescent s are up against difficulties when it comes to trying to be up by 5 or 6 a.m. for a 7:30 a.m. first b ell. A short sleep on a desktop may be their body’s way of saying “I need a timeout.”4. Carskadon suggests that high schools should not start classes so early in the morning because ________.A. it is really tough for parents to enforce bedtimeB. it is biologically difficult for students to rise earlyC. student s work so late at night that they can’t get up earlyD. students are so lazy that they don’t like to go to school early5. The underlined phrase “nod off” most probably means “ _______”.A. turn aroundB. agree with othersC. fall asleepD. refuse to work6. What might be a reason for the hard transfer from middle school to high school?A. Adolescents depend more on their parents.B. Adolescents have to choose their sleep patterns.C. Adolescents sleep better than they did at childhood.D. Adolescents need more sleep than they used to.7. What is the test mainly about?A. Adolescent heath care.B. Problems in adolescent learning.C. Adolescent sleep difficulties.D. Changes in adolescent sleep needs and patterns.CThere was a time when I was facing a decision that involved high risk, and I went to a friend. He looked at me for a moment, and then wrote a sentence containing the best advice I’ve ever had: Be bold(大胆的) and brave — and mighty forces will come to your aid.Those words made me see clearly that when I had fallen short in the past, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was usually because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all. On the other hand, whenever I had plunged into deep water, forced by courage or circumstance, I had always been able to swim until I got my feet on the ground again.Boldness means a decision to bite off more than you can eat. And there is nothing mysterious about the mighty forces. They are potential powers we possess: energy, skill, sound judgment, creative ideas — even physical strength greater than most of us realize.Admittedly, those mighty forces are spiritual ones. But they are more important than physical ones. A college classmate of mine, Tim, was an excellent footba ll player, even though he weighed much less than the average player. “In one game I suddenly found myself confronting a huge player, who had nothing but me between him and our goal line,” said Tim. “I was so frightened that I closed my eyes and desperately threw myself at that guy like a bullet — and stopped him cold.”Boldness — a willingness to extend yourself to the extreme—is not one that can be acquired overnight. But it can be taught to children and developed in adults. Confidence builds up. Surely, there will be setbacks and disappointments in life; boldness in itself is no guarantee of success. But the person who tries to do something and fails is a lot better off than the person who tries to do nothing and succeeds.So, always try to live a little bit beyond your abilities—and you’ll find your abilities are greater than you ever dreamed of.8. Why was the author sometimes unable to reach his goal in the past?A. He faced huge risks.B. He lacked mighty forces.C. Fear prevented him from trying.D. Failure blocked his way to success.9. What is the implied meaning of the underlined part?A. Swallow more than you can digest.B. Act slightly above your abilities.C. Develop more mysterious powers.D. Learn to make creative decisions.10. What can be learned from Paragraph 5?A. Confidence grows more rapidly in adults.B. Trying without success is meaningless.C. Repeated failure creates a better life.D. Boldness can be gained little by little.11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A. To encourage people to be courageous.B. To advise people to build up physical power.C. To tell people the ways to guarantee success.D. To recommend people to develop more abilities.DWhen next year’s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教务长) of Yale, who will become Oxford’s vice-chancellor ––a position equal to university president in America.Hamilton isn’t the only educator crossing th e Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isn’t universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools don’t tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university’s budget. “We didn’t do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the board’s chair. The board(董事会)finally picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators, and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen “a major strengthening of Yale’s financial position”.Of course, fund-raising isn’t the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.12. What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the text?A. Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.B. More international students are being admitted to American universities.C. University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.D. A lot of activists are being hired as administrators.13. What do we learn about European universities from the text?A. The tuition they charge has been rising considerably.B. They are strengthening their position by globalization.C. Their operation is under strict government control.D. Most of their money comes from the government.14. In what way do top-level administrators from abroad contribute to university development?A. They can improve the university’s image.B. They will bring with them more international personnel.C. They will view a lot of things from a new angle.D. They can set up new academic subjects.15. Which of the following would make the best title of the text?A. High Education Globalization.B. Global Headhunting in Higher Education.C. Global Higher Education Cooperation .D. Universal Higher Education Development.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。

AHe is both a great director and a great animator (卡通片制作者). He is Japan’s Walt Disney.Hayao Miyazaki, the 72-year-old Japanese master of fantasy animation (奇幻动画), one of the most respected animation directors in the world, announced hisretirement on September 6. Here are some key words about his films.Good and evil (邪恶)Miyazaki rarely tells stories in simple good and evil. The worlds he createstend to be complex (复杂的) and unclear. The bad figures often don’t seem so bad once you get to know them. Miyazaki has explained that the lack of clear good andevil is because he sees the 21st century as a complex time, in which old ideas need to be re-examined, even in children’s films.ChildrenThe heroes in Miyazaki’s films are usually children or teens, more often young girls. Sometimes they can see the spirit world; they are curious and friendly, even to strange creatures. The stories often deal with growing up.Sky and waterTwo of Miyazaki’s great loves are the sky and water, and he uses them in related ways. Flight is a forever theme — Miyazaki has never done a film without flyingof some kind. His imagination seems to fly and leave behind the pull of gravity (重力), a force and control that he feels a bound (束缚) from setting him free.Water is another way for Miyazaki to fight gravity. In his films he likes theunexpected floods with crystal-clear water, and objects floating on the surface seem to be supported by magic.PeaceMiyazaki’s negative view of the war goes far more than surface deep. Violence is usually seen as wrong and painful, and Miyazaki’s heroes are often peacemakers.1. What can we know about good and evil from Miyaza ki’s films?A. The figures cannot be simply judged as good or evil.B. He uses his films to show good finally defeats evil.C. The complex time tends to turn good into evil.D. Children should learn to clearly tell good from evil.2. According to the artic le, children in Miyazaki’s films are ______.A. all little teen-aged girlsB. always able to see spiritsC. curious trouble makersD. kind to people and creatures3. Miyazaki’s love for flight may come from ______.A. the relation between sky and waterB. his hate for gravity since his childhoodC. his desire to be free from gravityD. his love for water that can flood the world4. In Miyazaki’s films we may NOT see ______.A. the appealing castle in the skyB. children with the problems of growing upC. objects magically floating on the waterD. a world left in ruins in the end【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 4. D【解析】本文前两段主要介绍Miyazaki和退休的消息;后面几段主要介绍了他电影中常用到的一些主题。

How much will be the entry fee of a 30-page short story by a student, submitted in June 20th?A. $27.B. $24.C. $28.D. $31.BAs the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn’t want to turn around as the memory of that morning’s newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see: “City Killer Claims Fourth Victim.”“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work?” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or a lighted window. Passing a small lane, she looked through for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead-end and she laughed to herself at the irony.The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self–pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car’s headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed her with terror.It was the footsteps’ owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead-pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow–motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would – but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn’t respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance.She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn’t know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn’t understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead–pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK? You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I’d better give it to you.”4. The woman was feeling nervous because .A. she had left her report in the barB. there was a killer in the cityC. the streets were dark and emptyD. she was being followed by someone5. The underlined expression “a sitting duck” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “”.A. an easy targetB. a frightened personC. a foolish animalD. a still position6. Why did the woman laugh when she looked into the lane?A. She was excited to find a possible way to escape.B. She was becoming more and more nervous.C. She felt bitter because she had no chance to escape.D. She realized that she was behaving foolishly.7. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. It was raining when she left the bar.B. The temperature was very low that evening.C. The woman had felt nervous about the city killer for days.D. The woman was behaving unreasonably.CThe American dream is the faith held by many people in the United States of America that through hard work, courage, creativity and determination, they can achieve a better life for themselves. More specifically, they agree on how to get ahead in America: get a college education, find a reliable job, and buy their own house. But do Americans still believe in that path, and if they do, is it attainable?The most recent National Journal poll asked participants about the American dream: what it takes to achieve their goal, and whether or not they felt the control over their ability to be successful. Obviously, the results show that today, the idea of the American dream and what it takes to achieve it looks quite different from it did in the late 20th century. Generally speaking, people felt that their actions and hard work — not outside force — were deciding their lives. But the participants had definitely mixed feelings about what actions make for a better life in the current economy.In the last seven years, Americans have grown more pessimistic about the power of education to lead to success. Even though they see going to college as a fairly achievable goal, a majority —52 percent —think that young people do not need a 4-year college education in order to be successful.Miguel Maeda, 42, who has a master’s degree and works in public health, wa s the first in his family to go to college, which has allowed him to achieve a sense of financial stability his parents and grandparents never did. While some, like Maeda, emphasized the value of degree rather than the education itself, others still see college as a way to gain new viewpoints and life experiences. To Fendley, a sense of drive and purpose, as well as an effective high-school education, and basic life skills, like balancing a checkbook, are the necessary elements for a successful life in America.8. It used to be commonly acknowledged that to succeed in America, one had to have ____.A. a sense of drive and purposeB. a firm belief in their dreamC. an advanced academic degreeD. an ambition to get ahead9. What is the finding of the latest National Journal poll concerning the American dream?A. Americans’ idea of it has changed over the past few decades.B. It remains alive among the majority of American people.C. An increasing number of young Americans are abandoning it.D. More and more Americans are finding it hard to realize.10. What do Americans now think of the role of college education in achieving success?A. It still remains open to debate.B. It has proved to be beyond doubt.C. It is much better understood now than ever.D. It is no longer as important as it used to be.11. How do some people view college education these days?A. It needs to be strengthened.B. It helps broaden their minds.C. It widens cultural diversity.D. It promotes gender equality.DProlonging human life has increased the size of the human population. Many people alive today would have died of childhood diseases if they had been born 100 years ago. Because more peoplelive longer, there are more people around than at any other given time. In fact, it is a decrease in death rates instead of an increase in birthrates that has led to the population explosion.Prolonging human life has also increased the dependency load. In all societies, people who are disabled or too young or too old to work are dependent on the rest of society to provide for them. In hunting and gathering cultures, old people who could not keep up might be left behind to die. In times of food shortage, babies might be allowed to die because they could not survive if their parents starved, whereas if the parents survived they could have another child. In most present societies, people feel a moral obligation to keep people alive whether they can work or not. We have a great many people today who live past the age at which they want to work or are able to work; we also have rules which require people to retire at a certain age. Unless these people were able to save money for their retirement, somebody else must support them. In the United States many retired people live on social security checks which are so little that they must live in near poverty. Older people have more illnesses than young or middle-aged people; unless they have wealth or private or governme nt insurance, they must often “go on welfare” if they have a serious illness.When older people become too weak and ill to care for themselves, they create serious problems for their families. In the past and in some traditional cultures, they would be cared for at home until they died. Today, with most members of a household working or in school, there is often no one at home who can care for a sick or weak person. To meet this need, a great many nursing homes and convalescent hospitals have been built. These are often profit-making organizations, although some are sponsored by religious and other nonprofit groups. While a few of these institutions are good, most of them are simply “dumping grounds” for the dying in which “care” is given by poorly-paid, overworked, and under-skilled personnel.12. The author believes that the population explosion results from _______.A. an increase in birthratesB. a decrease in death ratesC. the industrial developmentD. human beings’ cultural advances13. It can be inferred from the passage that in hunting and gathering cultures _______.A. it was a moral responsibility for the families to keep alive the aged people who could not workB. old people were given the task of passing on the cultural wisdom of the tribe to new generationsC. the survival of babies was less important than that of their parents in times of starvationD. death was celebrated as a time of rejoicing for an individual freed of the hardships of life14. According to the passage, which of the following statements about the old people in the United States is True?A. When they reach a certain age, they retire and benefit from retirement.B. A minority of them remain in a state of near poverty after their retirement.C. With the rising prices, they must suffer more from unbearable burdens than ever.D. Many of them live on social security money which is hardly enough.15. Which of the following best describes the author’s attitude toward most of the nursing homes and convalescent hospitals?A. Critical.B. Approving.C. Optimistic.D. Sympathetic.第二节短文选句(共 5 小题;每小题 2 分;满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后选出能填入空白处的最佳选项;选项中有两项为多余选项。

ANational RankingsBest High SchoolsThe U.S. News rankings include data on more than 22,000 public high schools in50 states and the District of Columbia. Schools were awarded gold, silver or bronzemedals based on their performance on state assessments and how well theyprepare students for college.About the AwardsGold --- Top 500 Schools based on highest college readiness.Silver --- High-performing schools based on lower college readiness.Bronze--- High-performing schools based on state exam performance, listed alphabetically.Award DistributionGold 2.4%Silver 10.3%Bronze 16.8%No Medal 70.5%HOWWeDetermine the AwardsSTEP 1 Students perform better than expected in their state.We looked at reading and math results for students on each state ’ s proficiency ( 水平 ) tests and then factored in the percentage of economically disadvantagedstudents, who tend to score lower.STEP 2 Disadvantaged students perform better than state average.We compared each school ’s math and reading proficiency rates for disadvantagedstudents --- black, Hispanic and low-income --- with the statewide results for these student groups and then selected schools that were performing better than their state averages.STEP 3 Student graduation rates meet or are greater than a national standard.We left out schools from consideration if their graduation rates were lower than 75 percent --- astarting point that is higher than a federal law that requires states to give extra resources to schools below 67 percent.STEP 4 Students are prepared for college-level coursework.We calculated a College Readiness Index, which is based on the school’ s AP participation rate and how well the students did on those tests. Tiebeakers were used to determine ranks of schools that achieved the same College Readiness Index.1.What plays an important part in winning medals?A. Schools’ intention.B. College assessment.C. Government ’ s judgmentD. State evaluation.2.How much do schools winning medals account for?A. 16.8%.B. 27.1%.C. 29.5 % .D. 70.5%.3.Which school can get the awards?A.The school whose students do better than demanded.B.The school whose disadvantaged students perform averagely.C.The school whose graduation rates were lower than 67 percent.D.The school whose students have a knowledge of College Readiness Index.BThe Right Thing“Hi , Mrs. Grady,” said Mark when their neighbor opened her door.“Would you like us to shovel your sidewalk and driveway?” Shoveling was Jamie’s idea, a way to earn enough money for the new Ocean Kingdom video game that came out the next day.Mrs.Grady was happy,“That would be wonderful , boys.I think the job is gettingto be too much for me.”“It will cost 10 dollars, ” Jamie said .“If that’s OK ,”Mark added .“Oh dear, ” Mrs. Grady said disappointedly,“I haven’t been able to get tothe bank. I can offer homemade cookies,but I realize that’s not what you had in mind. ”Mark was going to say that Mrs. Grady could pay them another time, butJamie cut him off.“We’ll come back later. ”Mrs. Grady doesn’t look like the person who’d come t o his rescue last summer when Mr. Dunn ’s dog, Goldie, had just wanted to play,but Mark didn’tfeel comfortable around big dogs.He wanted to call for help,but his tongue seemed locked behind his teeth. Then Mrs. Grady’s front door had flown open. She must have seen him from across the street.“Hold on, Mark. I’m coming!” “Goldie” she’d called. As soon as Goldie had turned her head, Mrs. Grady had slipped between Markand the dog. She wasn’t much taller than Mark, but she’d stood firm as a rock infront of him.“Goldie, go home!” Then she’d swept her broom to hurry the dogalong. “Get away ! ” Goldie had obeyed.When Mark showed thanks to Mrs.Grady, Mrs. Grady laughed.“It was nothing. Good neighbors watch out for each other, don’t they?”And now Mrs. Grady needed Mark as much as he’d needed her last summer. He smiled and waved at Mrs. Grady, then his shovel deep into the snow.“Hey!” Jamie shouted. “What are you doing? ”Mark couldn ’t explain aboutGoldie and watching out for neighbors.“I like Mrs. Grady’s cookies,”he said.4.Why did Jamie and Mark plan to clear the snow for Mrs.Grady at first?A. To help the lady.B. To earn pocket money.C. To do volunteer work.D. To visit New Kingdom.5. What was the most probable reason why Mrs. Grady couldn’t pay them?A. S he didn ’t have enough cash.B.She couldn ’t find the bank.C. She thought it was worthless.D. S he couldn ’t afford it.6. According to the story, which of the following word CAN NOTbe used to describeMrs.Grady?A. Positive.B. Helpful.C. Brave.D. Hopeful.7. Which of the following proverb can best summarize the story?A. A penny saved is a penny earned.B. Kindness is repaid with kindness.C. A clear conscience.D. Actions speak louder than work.CImagine this scene: it ’s blowing outside, and you snuggle ( 蜷伏 ) up on the sofa under a warm quilt, chatting and recalling with your closest friends.That content, cosy feeling has a name in Danish --- hygge. And, as Denmark recently won the title of“the happiest country in the world ”, the concept of hygge is known to more and more people interested in finding ways to understand this concept.Hygge --- originally from a Norwegian word meaning well-being ---doesn’t have an exact equivalent (等同物) in English. It’s often translated as coziness, or asblogger Anna West told the BBC,“coziness of the soul”. But, as professor MarenSpark explains,“ Hygge was never meant to be translated. It was meant to be felt.”Basically, hygge involves creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying it withyour loved ones. Danish winters are long and dark and so achieving hygge is particularly relevant during this season. A typical hygge activity during winter could be enjoying delicious homemade food and light-hearted conversation with friends ---preferably in the warm glow of candlelight, or maybe sipping a glass of wine in thehot tub after a day spent skiing.However, hygge isn’t only limited to the cold winter months--- it can also describe that warm, fuzzy feeling you get after a walk through a forest with friendson summer’s day or a family barbecue in the park. Hygge is meant to be shared.8.Why does the author ask the readers to imagine the scene in thefirst paragraph?A.Help the readers to calm down.B.Introduce the topic of the passage.C.Present the main idea of the passage.D.Remind the readers of their past memories.9. What do the underlined words by Maren Spark mean?A. The translation of the word“hygge” isB. Only Danish speakers know what“hygge”C. “Hygge” is easy to translate but hard to feel.D. We can get the true meaning of“hygge”10. Which of the following can be best described as aA. Skiing in the cold winter months.B. Living through long dark winters.C. Taking afternoon tea with friends.D. Walking alone in the forest.not good enough. means.by feeling it.“hygge” activity?11.What is the main purpose of the author?A. To explain.B. To persuade.C. To comment.D. To advertise.DIn the mid-2000s, Waze Mobile co-founder Ehud Shabtai received a cutting-edge(尖端的 ) gift from h is girlfriend: a GPS. The expensive gift was supposed to be helpful. But straight out of the box, it was already out of date.Shabtai, a coding enthusiast,had an immediate reaction to reinvent. Shabtai ’s solution? To build an app. With 50 million monthly active users globally and nearly400,000 superusers who function much like Wikipedia volunteer editors (editing mapsrather than words), Waze Mobile caught the eye of Google as a revolutionary approachto navigation( 导航 ).Acquired by Google in 2013, Waze ’s value mainly lies in its high rate of user involvement. Unlike traditional navigation apps that simply show directions, Wazeasks its users to report accidents and other road conditions in real time, so otherusers can avoid the traffic by using an alternative route.The goal behind Waze ’s approach is an ambitious one: not just avoid traffic,but end it altogether. Waze is finding new ways to put its loyal and active user base to use to make that vision a reality, including a plan to make carpooling (拼车) cool.To be sure, traffic jams are troubling people all over the world. Waze has beenquietly ahead of the game for some time. In 2013, when Waze was just a small digital-mapping business with limited resources, it had something Google Maps andother competitors didn ’t: richer GPS guidance thanks to its stream of live trafficreports from users.These users were the basis of Shabtai ’s plan to solve for his GPS device ’s “silent ” hardware: he grounded the app in software that could be perpetually updated by users, anywhere and anytime.Waze Carpool is going straight to the heart of traffic jams, trying to get moredrivers off the road and into carpools. The app has already connected tens of thousands of rideseekers with drivers willing to ferry them along a shared route, and that trend could be the answer to a traffic-free future.12. What did Shabtai do when he found his girlfriend ’s gift out of date?A. He improved it.B. He took it apart.C. He put it away.D. He used it anyway.13.What sets Waze Mobile apart from traditional navigation apps?A.It has the most users.B.It can indicate directions.C.It reports road conditions in real time.D.Most users help edit its words.14.What does the underlined word in paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Difficulty.B. Carefully.C. Greatly.D. Constantly.15.What is mainly talked about in the text?A.The rise of carpooling.B.An advanced navigation app.C.The development of Google.D.Traffic problems in the world.第二节(共 5 小题;每题 2 分,满分10 分)依据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最正确选项。

Isn’t it clear that compared wit h our glorious selves, kids these days are self-absorbed social network addicts?However, this summer, my impression of today’s kids has been restored by the story of Rachel Beckwith. She could teach my generation a great deal about maturity and unselfishness —even though she’s just 9 years old, or was when she died on July 23.At age 5, Rachel had her long hair short off and sent to Locks of Love, which uses hair donations to make artificial hair for children who have lost their own hair because of cancer or other diseases. After that, Rachel announced that she would grow her hair long again and donate it again. And that’s what she did.Then when she was 8 years old, her church began raising money to build wells in Africa through an organization called charity: water. Rachel was astonished when she learned that other children had no clean water, so she skipped her ninth birthday party. Rachel set up a birthday page on the charity: water website with a target of $300. Instead of presents, she asked her friends to donate $9 each to charity: water. Finally Rachel raised only $220 — which had left her just a bit disappointed.Then, on July 20, a serious traffic accident left Rachel critically injured. Church members and friends, seeking some way of showing suppo rt, began donating on Rachel’s birthday page —/Rachel — and donations reached her $300 goal, and kept rising.But Rachel couldn’t hear that she had raised beyond the $47,544 that the singer Justin Bieber had raised for charity: water on hi s 17th birthday. “I think Rachel would have been overjoyed for she secretly had a crush on (迷恋) him,” Rachel’s mom said.When it was clear that Rachel would never regain consciousness, the family decided to remove the life support system. Her parents donated her hair for the final time to Locks of Love, and her organs to other children.Word about Rachel’s last fund-raising spread. Contributions poured in, often in $9 each. The total donations soon topped $100,000, then $300,000.This is a story not just of one girl, but of a young generation of outstanding problem-solversworking creatively.8. What does the author think of today’s kids after he knew the story of Rachel Beckwith?A. They can get problems settled effectively.B. They are unselfish as grown-ups.C. They are good at social network.D. They have narrow minds and care about nothing.9. Why did each of Rachel’s friends donate $9 to charity: water?A. Because she began to raise money from her ninth birthday.B. Because she set up her birthday page on June 9th.C. Because she had asked them to do that.D. Because she died at the age of 9 and they wanted to honor her.10. Why was the singer Justin Bieber mentioned in the text?A. Rachel collected more than him who she admired.B. He had donated on R achel’s page on his 17th birthday.C. Rachel would have been overjoyed for his donation.D. Rachel’s mom said she secretly had a crush on him.11.

A kind girl, Rachel.DEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the United States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy and affordable meals. Evan Lutz, CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, was inspired to act after seeing extreme poverty in areas of Baltimore. Maryland. He wants to reduce the so-called food desert in that area. His work is to make sure the food goes to waste and no person is ever hungry in America. And he combines that goal with a love for business.Hungry Harvest is a business which collects and sells fruits and vegetables that most food companies will throw away. Everything doesn’t grow the same way on a farm. But all that is too big or too small gets thrown out. That is why everything in a grocery store looks similar. Hungry Harvest will box those imperfect ones and deliver them to customers once a week.For every purchase, Hungry Harvest delivers healthy food to people in need. Hungry Harvesthas recovered 300,000 pounds of produce to date and provided 100,000 pounds to those in need.Lutz established Hungry Harvest in 2014. Its success depends on team work. Every week on Monday or Tuesday they will decide what will go into the next week’s b ox by calling up packing houses and wholesalers to see what they will normally throw away that week. They then place the order. The last step is to send goods to customers.In January 2016, Lutz appeared on the American business competition television show “Shark Tank” and got even more than he expected: $100,000. Lutz is using the money to expand. Actually, more than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to “ugly” surface. Hungry Harvest is on the way to saving more food from going to waste and feeding hungry families.12. What do the underlined words “food desert” mean?A. Food that grows in the desert.B.
