AA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor(售票员) hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child. On seeing this, people began to talk. “You know this conductor used to be very rude. Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior（行为,举止;态度）,” said a middle-aged man.“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That’s right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.”Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said, “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please? Your excellent service must be praised...”Before he could open his mouth, the three-year-old child sitting on the young woman’s lap interrupted, “I know his name. I call him Dad.”21. The passengers were ______ to see the conductor’s kindness to the woman and thechild.A. excitedB. pleasedC. interestedD. surprised22. One passenger suggested writing a letter to the company to ______.A. make a demand for more busesB. praise the conductor for his good serviceC. criticize the conductor for his rude behaviorD. invite a newspaper reporter to write about the conductor23.

The word “he” in the last paragraph refers to _______.A. the gentlemanB. the conductorC. the middle-aged manD. the three-year-old childBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it’s not fairto other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. B ut it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids m ight feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea．If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with t he teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents, so they can find some solutions(解决办法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating. 25．The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A．it’s unfair to other people B．it does harm to their heathC．teachers should punish them D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once 26．Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A．the material in the test is very difficultB．they want to do better than the othersC．cheating can make hard things seem very easyD．they have little time to study their lessons27．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A．cheating isn’t a good idea B．why kids cheat in the testC．some kids can’t pass the test without cheatingD．some kids d on’t spend the time studying28．We can learn from the passage______.A．cheaters are often thought highly ofB．people show no respect for those who cheatC．parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD．kids cheat in the test because of swim practiceCOne of the most famous writers from England by far is Agatha Christie.

These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also be able to use the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mails to “speak”with their teachers, classmates, and families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptops used in higher education, such as colleges and universities, are workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the laptops can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 80 percent of the staff(职员) use computers.

Until Wednesday, the title of China’s youngest Asian Games gold medalist be-longed to 15-year-old skateboarder Chen Ye. Nevertheless, the youngest participant at the Games is Mazel Paris Alegado, a 9-year-old Filipino skateboarder.Asked if she was nervous before the competition, Cui shook her head and said: “My dad told me to stay relaxed, enjoy the competition and showcase my skills. As long as I give it my all, I have no regrets.”Skateboarding, which is rooted in street culture, is a sport that emphasizes freedom and personal techniques. Cui only took up skateboarding in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic did not allow her to practice rollerblading (滚轴溜冰), which she began as a 3-year-old. Her father suggested that she try skateboarding at home instead. “I remember the day I stepped onto the board for the first time. It felt incredibly smooth. It was love at first sight,” Cui said.Two years later, she ranked third in the women’s street event at the Shandong provincial games. She soon joined the provincial skateboarding team and underwent a more comprehensive (全面的) and structured training program.In skateboarding, injuries are unavoidable, but when discussing the pain and the setbacks, Cui displayed a level of resilience beyond her age. “When I started skateboarding, I thought it was great fun. Later, I realized people suffer a lot of injuries while skateboarding. But that iswhere the spirit of skateboarding lies,” she said. Most of the time, getting injured is just part of the process, and she simply pushes through it and never gives up, she added.Cui is “the future of Team China”, according to Zeng Wenhui, the silver medalist. “I think she is quite excellent. We will stand together in moving forward in the future,” she said. 4．Who is the youngest athlete taking part in the Asian Games?A．Chen Ye.B．Cui Chenxi.C．Mazel Paris Alegado.D．Zeng Wenhui.5．What can we infer from the passage?A．Cui’s father has a positive effect on her.B．Cui’s fellow athletes don’t get along well with her.C．Cui spent a hard time from rollerblading to skateboarding.D．Cui received a comprehensive training program during the pandemic.6．What’s the spirit of skateboarding according to Cui?A．Life is movement.B．No cross, no crown.C．Never too old to learn.D．Freedom is a part of the essence of life. 7．What does the underlined word “resilience” refer to in paragraph 6?A．Calmness.B．Resistance.C．The ability to adapt.D．A state of feeling depressed.Ann has been severely paralysed (瘫痪)for more than 18 years. She cannot speak and normally communicates. But now, she has been able to speak through an image on the computer using technology that translated her brain signals into speech and facial expressions.The advance raises hopes that the technology could be on the edge of transforming the lives of people who have lost the ability to speak due to conditions like strokes (中风).The latest technology uses tiny electrodes (电极) put on the top layer of the brain to detect electrical activity in the part of the brain that controls speech and face movements. These signals are translated directly into a digital avatar’s (化身) speech and facial expressions including smiling, frowning or surprise.The team put 253 paper-thin electrodes on the top layer of Ann’s brain over an area important to speech. Afterwards Ann worked with the team to train the system to detect her unique brain signals for various speech sounds by repeating different phrases repeatedly. Thecomputer learned 39 distinctive sounds and a Chat GPT-style language system was used to translate the signals into understandable sentences. This was then used to control an avatar with a voice personalised to sound like Ann’s voice before the injury, based on a recording of her speaking at her wedding.The technology was not perfect, translating words incorrectly 28% of the time in a test run involving more than 500 phrases, and it generated brain-to-text at a rate of 78 words a minute, compared with the 110–150 words typically spoken in natural conversation. However, scientists said the latest advances in accuracy and speed suggest the technology is now at a point of being practically useful for patients. A crucial next step is to create a wireless form that could be put beneath the skull (颅骨).8．How can Ann speak?A．By tiny electrodes on her brain.B．Through an avatar using the latest technology.C．Through repeating different phrases repeatedly.D．By a technology that detects her brain signals.9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about?A．How the technology works.B．How the technology benefits the patients.C．How the technology translates the brain signal.D．How the technology is put into wide application.10．Which is unnecessary to make the avatar sound like Ann?A．Ann’s cooperation.B．Ann’s facial expressions.C．An AI language system.D．A recording of Ann’s speaking. 11．What do we know about the technology according to the last paragraph?A．It is a promising way to help patients.B．Its translating speed is too slow.C．It cannot be applied to patients.D．It is not accurate in translating at all.Fed up with tourists who only come in to check out the scenery, the owners of Queviures Murria, a grocery store in Barcelona, Spain, have put up a sign announcing a 5 euro fee for coming in just to look.Queviures Murria has been in business since 1898 and is one of the most eye-catching locations in all of Barcelona. The vintage (老式的) look of the store and the traditional design of the inside attract hundreds of tourists every day, but the problem is that many of them aren’t actually interested in the products sold inside—all kinds of traditional Spanish cured sausages, cold cuts, cured cheeses, oils, wines, etc. According to the store, many tourists enter the store without even saying a simple “hello”, wander around taking pictures, and then simply leave without buying anything. So it decided to charge people for “just looking” just to discourage them.Toni Merino, one of the managers at Queviures Murria, said that the idea to charge tourists a fee for simply coming into the grocery store and looking around without buying anything started out as a joke, but as the staff and the regular customers became increasingly inconvenienced by random tourists looking around, taking pictures, with absolutely no interest in the products on display, they decided to do it.Merino has clarified that he and his partners have no interest in actually charging the fee, and they don’t really have to anymore. By posting a warning about the 5 euro fee in the shop window, they have managed to discourage most unwanted visitors.After photos of the 5-euro fee announcement in the window of Queviures Murria spread quickly on social media, the Barcelona business faced a public outcry, and it was forced to explain the reasons and clarify that it didn’t really plan on carrying on the measure. 12．What can we learn about Queviures Murria?A．Tourists are not welcome there.B．It has a history of nearly 100 years.C．It charges people for taking photos.D．Tourists prefer its design to the products sold there.13．Why did the grocery store put up the sign?A．To earn a fame.B．To attract more tourists.C．To warn the impolite visitors.D．To provide a convenient shopping environment.14．What’s the public’s opinion on the measure?A．Opposed.B．Objective.C．Supportive.D．Unconcerned. 15．Where is this text probably taken from?A．A travel journal.B．A news website.C．A fashion magazine.D．A debate program.二、七选五As the new semester rolls in, it’s time to get ready for a fresh start to achieve your goals.16 Here are some practical tips to help you get through a fresh start with ease.Evaluate how you did last semester. Grades aren’t everything, but they can help you understand how well you’re doing in terms of your studies. So start by taking some time to think about these things. Did your grades improve, stay the same, or drop last semester? How can you make changes this semester? 17Set new goals for this semester. Before the semester begins, take some time to set clear and achievable goals for yourself. 18 Having goals will provide you with directions and motivation (动力) throughout the semester. To make the most of it, write your goals and hang them in a visible place.19 Keep your motivation high by reminding yourself of the goals you set. Then surround yourself with supportive people who inspire and encourage you. Celebrate your achievements along the way to maintain a positive attitude. Remember to stay adaptable and make adjustments to your plan as needed throughout the semester.Take care of yourself. Remember to prioritize (优先考虑) your physical and mental health. 20 Practice stress management skills, or engage in hobbies that help you relax. Taking good care of yourself will improve your focus, energy and overall productivity.A．Stay motivated and stay positive.B．Take an active part in various activities.C．Get enough sleep, eat nutritious meals, and exercise regularly.D．Identify what you want to finish academically and personally.E．It will save you time and help you communicate with your teachers.F．You’d better make the most of this time because starting off strong is the key to a successful semester.G．It’s helpful to write these things down, allowing you to make connections and take the next step more easily.三、完形填空people spent so much time at home during COVID-19,” says 28-year-old Li Jianlin, wholovers in China, and it 23 online fitness programs.“Many young people go to the gym, or workout regularly. 24 , a phased (阶段性的) and slow approach to recovering exercise after COVID-19 is the best way to 25 pre-COVID-19 fitness levels.

Practise English in Different WaysBWe all long for friendship, but how to grow a friend? “The best time to grow a best friend is before you need one!” Joy Steven said. Here is an eight-step program for you.People equal friends. Friends usually begin with strangers. Contact with other people is the first building block to grow a friend. Friends can’t grow in empty air. Best friends take time.Friends understand friends. Friends understand each other when talking. Many unpleasant quarrels in your personal relationship can be avoided if you will take the time to understand other’s feelings and points of view.Friends touch friends. Touching is a warm form of communication between friends. When you see best friends communicating, you will notice friends stand close together, touch each other comfortably and listen to each other attentively. Sometimes a caressing touch is more powerful than words.Friends praise friends. Affirmation(肯定) is a powerful tool for growing a friend. Honest praise can affect your friends’ lives. So try to praise your friends, including your general ones.Friends are loyal and trustworthy. Trust and loyalty go hand-in-hand for friends. Friends can share secrets with you, because good friends never break a confidence and are forever loyal.Friends express their feelings. We feel closest to our friends when we are suffering together, when we feel our friends need us or when we feel a friend has shared something of great importance with us.Friends do not penetrate the other. The person who thinks, “If you really like me, you can read my mind” cannot have a mature friendship. No person can read others’ mind. Please make space for your friends.Talking is important among friends. In a mutually(共有的) satisfying friendship, both friends talk and listen. Friends talk appropriately to each other.5. This passage mainly talks about ______.A. how to talk to a good friendB. how to be a good friendC. how to develop friendshipD. how to express friendship6. When you want to make a friend, you should begin with ______.A. getting in touch with other peopleB. sharing things with other peopleC. listening to other people carefullyD. talking with other people frequently7. The article supports the following ideas EXCEPT that ______.A. friends should often talk with each otherB. friends can avoid quarrels for disagreementsC. you feel good when your friend touches youD. you always know your friends’ thoughtsCBirthdays are especially important to the very young and the very old. On their birthdays, people receive birthday cards and birthday presents from their family and friends. Children’s cards often have a large number on them showing how old they are. Cards for adults have pictures of flowers or scenery, or humorous or rude cartoons. Inside there is usually a simple greeting, such as “Happy Birthday” or “Many Happy Returns of the Day.”In the US, children who have their birthdays during the school year takea cake to school and have a small party with their classmates. In Britain,children sometimes get Bumped (lifted off the ground horizontally and putdown again sharply) by their friends, the same number of times as their age.In the US, the 16th birthday is called sweet 16. It is the age at which a person can get a US driver’s license, and some wealthier parents give their children a car as a present. At 18, in Britain and in the US, young people become adults and many have a big party.

Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous(慷慨) and have given them food, wine and day trips.Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels.

Their conversation soon turned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress (压力) in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of the cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you’re very successful now.”“All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.”“Now think about this: life is the coffee, and money and position in s ociety are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead.”9. The students who visited the teacher ______.A. are satisfied with their workB. are successful in their studiesC. are strict with each otherD. are successful in their work10.

What are you expected to do if you get the job of “Reader Desk”?A. To repair computersB. To lift heavy boxesC. To work with young childrenD. To check materials for guests23. What’s the main purpose of the above advertisement?A. To attract students to librariesB. To raise money for librariesC. To introduce new booksD. To provide job opportunitiesBEvery year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. Many others and I have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were "passion", "focus" and "delegate" and I stayed true to them. This year, 2018, my goals are more personal and less professional.FOCUSFocus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I'm too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, which kept me organized. This year I'm going to have each task scheduled. I'm putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule.HEALTHI get so busy taking care of everyone else that I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I'll make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it's time to get it back.CELEBRATEWhat good is having it all if I'm not taking time to enjoy it? I have a wonderfuljob, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I've done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I'm making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings.Do you have any words for 2018?24. The underlined word "multitasker" probably refers to a person who________.A. makes a living by writingB. always fails to finish a task on timeC. has several things to do at the same timeD. pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping25. Why does the writer have "health" as one of his three words?A. He wants to take better care of others.B. He's gaining weight and feeling bad.C. He did not take any exercise in the past.D. He got the idea from his son.26. What can we learn from the passage?A. The word "celebrate" can remind the writer to enjoy life.B. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years.C. The word "focus" can help the writer focus on his family.D. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise.27. The best title for the passage might be________?A. Three Words for 2018B. Health Should Go FirstC. Keep OrganizedD. My GoalsCHaving friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight disease than people who are alone.Place friendship in the first place. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn(草坪) go unmowed(未割的) or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.Open up to close friends. Keeping a deep friendship requires a level of “heartfelt” intimacy (亲密).Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems，but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem(自尊) when they are sad about a job loss, or other such events.Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies，singing in a choir，and joining in a bowling league.Don’t wait for a friend to ask for helps. When a friend has the flu，offer to go to the store or drive his or her children to their afterschool activities.Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage，friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms，or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.Enroll in an adult education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.28. People who are alone have a ability to fight disease than people with close friends.A. moreB. greaterC. poorerD. little29. According to the passage, when had you better offer advice to your friends?A. At any moment.B. Only when they are happy.C. Only when they want it.D. Only when you are glad.30. What does the underlined wo rd “Enroll” in the last paragraph mean?A. GiveB. JoinC. GetD. Catch31. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. You should have different friends for the same activities.B. You should wait for a friend to ask a favor.C. You should take a friendship for granted.D. You should talk with strangers in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores inorder to improve friendship.DEverybody hates rats (big mice). But in the earthquake capitals of the world —Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey —rats will soon be man’s best friends.What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can’t get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat.How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat’s brain gives a signal (信号)．This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat’s brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person.Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Corn ell University, New York, says, “Robots’ noses don’t work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity!The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Organization in Scotland says, “It would be wonderful. A rat could get into spaces we couldn’t get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.” Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course)．32. Why will rats become man’s best friends in the world earthquake capitals?A. Because they can take the place of man's rescue jobsB. Because they can find the position of people alive who are trapped in buildingsC. Because they can serve as food for people alive who are trapped in buildingsD. Because they can get into small spaces33. From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person who is alive by _____.A. the noise made by the ratB. the rat’s unusual behaviourC. the signal sent by the radio on the rat's backD. the smell given off by the person34. Which of these statements is NOT the advantage that rats have?A. They are more lovely than other animals.B. They are less expensive to train than dogs.C. They don't need electricity.D. They are small and can get into small places.35. What can we infer from the passage?A. At present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people.B. The “rat project” has been completed.C. People are now happy to see a rat in a building.D. Now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues.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。

Furthermore, Mrs. Hooper helped her son stand out from the crowd by making him a sign that said he was a 5-year-old attending his first concert.When Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl finally saw the sign and read it aloud into the microphone, the crowd began chanting for them to bring the youngster onto the stage. That's exactly what he did. When the stage managers brought the boy to the stage, Grohl asked Taylor to show the crowd how to dance．The small boy then danced to the whole song, making him an “Inter net wonder”.Taylordidn't just walk away from the show with memories, either;the band also invited him backstage to give him a number of gifts, including a pair of Taylor Hawkins's drumsticks.4.

In terms of his sight loss, he met the standards of being blind. “He had blind spots right in the middle of his sight,” said Dr Denize Atan, “That means he can’t drive and would find it reallyarduousto read, watch TV or recognize faces.”Dr Denize Atan said that parents should learn about the harm that can be caused by picky eating, and turn to experts for help. For those who are concerned , she advised, “It’s best not to be anxious about picky eating , and instead calmly introduce one or two new foods with every meal.” She said multivitamin tablets can supplement(补充) a diet, but cannot take the place of eating healthily. “It’s much better to take in vitamins through a varied and balanced diet,” she said, adding that too manycertain vitamins , including vitamin A, can be harmful ,“so you don’t want to overdo it.”12.

2019-2020学年泰安市第四中学高三英语期中试卷及参考答案

2019-2020学年泰安市第四中学高三英语期中试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（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AIn the 1994 filmForrest Gump, there’s a famous saying, “Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.” The surprise is part of the fun. Now blind box toys are bringing the magic of surprise to online shopping.A blind box toy is hidden inside uniform packaging but invisible from the outside. You don’t know what will be inside, although the toys typically come from pop culture, ranging from movies to comics and cartoons.Blind boxes have caught on since they were first introduced fromJapantoChinain 2014. According to a 2019 Tmall report, the mini-series of Labubu blind box, designed byHong Kong-born Kasing Lung, was named Champion of Unit Sales with 55,000 sold in just 9 seconds during the Singles Day shopping event. Most customers for blind boxes are young people aged 18 to 35.According to The Paper, blind box toys are popular in part because of their cute appearances. The typically cute cartoon figurines come in miniature sizes, making them suitable for display almost anywhere.Even if blind boxes are not their top choice for decorations, the mystery and uncertainty of the process also attracts people. It’s the main reason why people buy blind boxes one after another.“Fear of the unknown is always a part of the box-opening process,” said Miss Cao, 24, who lives and works inShenyang. Speaking to Sina News, she said: “Until you open all the boxes, you cannot know what it is inside.”Opening a blind box is a delightful little surprise for our mundane daily lives, something small but fun to wait for each day, week or month. When people open this simple little box, they may be disappointed, but the uncertainty is part of the fun. People will open more blind boxes and hope for a better outcome.When someone re-makesForrest Gump, don't be surprised if he says, “Life is like a blind box...”1. Why is the famous saying in the filmForrest Gumpquoted at the beginning?A. To arouse the readers’ interest.B. To present the writer’s view.C. To introduce the topic.D. To highlight the fun of blind boxes.2. Which of the following is the main feature that makes blind box so popular?A. Miniature sizes.B. Cute appearances.C. Fear of the unknown.D. Mystery and uncertainty.3. What can we learn from the passage?A. Blind box became popular in 2019 after being first introduced fromJapantoChina.B. Blind box toys typically originated in pop culture, varying from movies to cartoons.C. Blind box toys was designed and named by Hong Kong-born Kasing Lung.D. When people open this simple little box, they will feel disappointed.BMy first week working in a restaurant, one of the servers said something that stuck with me: Everyone should work in a restaurant for at least a year. At the time, I didn't get it, but I took the advice to heart and worked in restaurants on and off for the next eight years. Before realizing it, I mastered many important skills, one of which is communication skill.When I was little, I was so shy that I used to hide behind my mom whenever someone spoke to me. And when I first started in restaurants, I had two personalities: Restaurant Lizzy and Home Lizzy. It was easier to pretend to be a different person while at work, since it was so different from who I actually was. But gradually, the skills I learned working in restaurants helped Home Lizzy come out of her shell in the real world.When you work in a restaurant, you don't have the luxury of hiding behind your parents to avoid talking to people. I'm still 110% an introvert, but restaurant work helped me communicate. Working in a restaurant not only helped me speak clearly, deliberately and directly but also taught me how to talk about almost everything. Some guests don't want their servers to interact too much with them, and that's fine. But some sit at the bar simply to chat with you. You learn how to judge your guests' level of interest in communicating with you, and how to exit a conversation at the appropriate time.My restaurant work is something that I'm most proud of and I know I wouldn't be the person I am today without those eight years of experience. If you're still on the fence about working in a restaurant for that long, start with one year. I doubt that you'll look back.4. What did the writer think of the server's words?A. Impressive.B. Ridiculous.C. Amusing.D. Logical.5. What do we infer from Paragraph 2?A. The writer tried different jobs.B. The writer became more sociable.C. The writer used an invented name.D. The writer had a hard time at work.6. Which of the following best describes the writer's restaurant work?A. Boring.B. Relaxing.C. Worthwhile.D. Unchallenging.7. What message does the writer try to convey in this passage?A. A strong-willed soul can reach his goal.B. Things are difficult before they are easy.C. Communication skills advance your career.D. Restaurantwork helps to achieve a better self.CA team of researchersfrom theUniversityofColorado Boulderhave created a revolutionary type of robotic muscles. They are strong and flexible at the same time, can feel the movements they perform and, whenever they suffer damage, they can self-heal. However, what is best about them is probably the fact that they are extremely cheap to manufacture.The robotic muscles have been called actuators, and have drawn inspiration from real-life muscles. By creating robots equipped with this kind of actuators, researchers would allowthem to perform movements just like human muscles.To make the robotic muscles work, they filled some flexible material with electrodes(电极)and with liquid and oil. Then, they applied some electricity, and the liquid and oil started moving around the electrodes and powered them. This way, the robotic muscles started contracting and relaxing just like real muscles, but a lot quicker.Researchers also took inspiration from the variety of human muscles, and created more types of actuators, each of them performing a different movement. They called these robotic muscles HASEL ( Hydraulically-Amplified Self-healing Electrostatic). However, they are superior to biological muscles as they are stronger, faster, and more flexible.Even the researchers were amazed they could develop such technology. Eric Acome, the author of one of the studies, explained what is unique about the robotic muscles.“The ability to create electrically powered soft actuators that lift a gallon of water at several times per second is something we haven't seen before.”These muscles are special because they are also self-healing. This property is given by the liquid placed inside of them, which also gives them a lot more advantages than those mechanisms (机械)using solids. In the end, the material which keeps the liquid, the oil and the electrodes is extremely cheap. It is a type of polymer (聚合物)similar to the one used for potato chips bags, and can be manufactures for only 10 cents.8. What can we learn about actuators?A. They can heal on their own.B. They are biological muscles.C. They can not move like human muscles.D. They are slower to react than real muscles.9. What do actuators use to directly power electrodes?A. Solids.B. Liquid and oil.C. A type of polymer.D. Potato chips bags.10. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The origin of actuators.B. The opinions on actuators.C. The advantages of actuators.D. The significance of actuators.11. In which part of a newspaper will the textmost probably appear?A. Health.B. Culture.C. Education.D. Technology.DFew people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters (每天长途上下班的人) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.12. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?A. The records of their work have been lost.B. Female workers received little attention.C. The construction took place long ago.D. Few people know about the bridge.13. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?A. There are less female workers inLondon.B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.D. Many works of art were created during World War II.14. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?A. It was a tradition inLondon.B. They wanted to get a steady job.C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.D. The company offered them better pay.15. Which can be the best title for the text?A. Female Workers on the RiseB. A Hidden Treasure inLondonC. ANew LondonLandmarkD. The Story behind theLadiesBridge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。
