A"Shoeless" children are more likely to get to school earlier. leave later and read more. according to a new research by Bournemouth University.According to The Telegraph .researchers have observed tens of thousands of children who leave their shoes outside the classroom and found that pupils are more engaged in their lessons. which in turn leads to better academic performance. The research is in line with policies introduced in schools in England where children who go to class shoeless -following the steps of schools in Scandinavia in an effort to improve their academic standards and behavior.The study is based on observing and studying tens of thousands of children in over 100 schools in around 25 countries over the last ten years. For decades children in northern Europe have learned with their shoes off because they are left at the school door arrival due to snow.ice or mud.And now academics are calling on teachers in England to apply similar "shoeless" policies to give children the best possible chance of performing in their exams. Experts believe having children with no shoes in the classroom improves their learning because it makes them "feel at home" and more relaxed when learning.Professor Stephen Heppell. who leads the research at Bournemouth University, said: "Children are much more willing to sit on the floor and relax if they have no shoes on. The last place a child would sit to read is an upright chair and we've foundthat 95 percent of them actually don't read on a chair at home. When they go on holidays they read lying down. Having conditions in the classroom that are like those at home means that more boys are reading in the classroom. Children also arrive earlier and leave later. which translates into half an hour of extra learning a day on average.”Wearing no shoes also means the cleaning bill decreased by 27 percent and schools need tospend less money on furniture because they don't need to buy a chair and a table for every child as they can sit on the 21. In the classroom. shoeless kids were found to be more_.A. absent-mindedB. politeC. focusedD. restless22. What can we conclude from Professor Heppell's words in Paragraph 5?A. Children learn faster in an upright sitting position.B. Classrooms should have their conditions improved.C. Habits formed at an early age are rarely changed.D. Children naturally prefer to read in a relaxed position.23. Why do children in northern Europe go to class shoeless?A. They have to he barefoot for their family conditions.B. They follow the customs front their ancestors.C. They feel more comfortable without shoesD. They have to leave the muddy shoes outside the classrooms.24. What could he the best title for the text?A. Policies help schools cut down on spendingB. Shoeless children do better at schoolC. "Shoeless" policies benefit kids in England$来&源:D. Good behavior pays off in the endBI was talking with a friend not long ago who mentioned he was taking his childrento Paris for the summer vacation, and the only thing I could think of was how grateful I was that my father never did that for me. Our vacations were spent 50 miles south of our home in Indiana, at Lane’s Camping Retreat.The campground had two lakes: one for fishing, the other for swimming. The swimming lake had a diving board about 300 feet high, and every year some kid made his way to the end of the board and then froze with fear. We’d run to the camp store and fetch Mr. Lane, who would walk down to the lake and yell at the kid to jump. But he never would. So Mr. Lane would climb the ladder, throw the kid over his shoulder, and climb back down.One year, our dad bought a tractor inner tube, which amazed us---we had begged him for years for something to float on, and he had resisted, saying it would cause wild excitement and we would drown. Then, unexpectedly, he bought the tube, which lasted several minutes before it broke and sank while my brother was on it. He would have drowned, except he was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep, so he just stood up and walked to shore.After supper, we would sleep with the tent windows rolled up and Dad telling ghost stories. The raccoons(浣熊)would come out from the woods and move around the campfire, eating the spilled(散落的)pie filling.“What’s that?” Dad would ask. “Someone’s out there. Can you hear them?”We would pull our sleeping bags over our heads and dream of serial killers, then awaken to the sound of birdsong.Though I have never been to Paris, I can’t for the life of me consider myself deprived(被剥夺的).25. What happened when the author’s brother floated on the water?A. He fell into the lake.B. He was hurt by the tube.C. He ran wild for several minutes.D. He drowned due to the excitement.26. How did the author feel about his friend’s summer trip?A. It was tiring.B. It was boring.C. It was costly.D. It was admirable.27. Why did Mr. Lane come to the swimming lake?A. To punish the naughty kid.B. To guarantee the kid’s safety.C. To teach the kids swimming skills.D. To help the kids overcome their fear of diving.28. For what reason did the kids pull their sleeping bags over their heads?A. They wanted to drive the raccoons away.B. They were frightened.C. They found the campfire unbearable.D. They felt very coldCProsocial behaviors are those intended to help other people. Behaviors that can be described as prosocial include feeling empathy(同感) and concern for others and behaving in ways to help or benefit other people.Prosocial behavior has long posed a challenge to social scientists seeking to understand why people engage in helping behaviors that are beneficial to others, but costly to the individual performing the action. Why would people do something that benefits someone else but offers no immediate benefit to the doer?Psychologists suggest that there are a number of reasons why people engage in prosocial behavior. In many cases, such behaviors are fostered during childhood and adolescence as adults encourage children to share, act kindly, and help others. Prosocial behaviors are often seen as being compelled by a number of factors including egoistic reasons (doing things to improve one's self-image), reciprocal benefits (doing something nice for someone so that they may one day return the favor), and more altruistic reasons (performing actions purely out of empathy for another individual).Characteristics of the situation can also have a powerful impact on whether or not people engage in prosocial actions. The bystander effect is one of the most notableexamples of how the situation can impact helping behaviors. The bystander effect refers to the tendency for people to become less likely to assist a person in distress when there are a number of other people also present. For example, if you drop your purse and several items fall out on the ground, the likelihood that someone will stop and help you decreases if there are many other people present. This same sort of thing can happen in cases where someone is in serious danger, such as when someone is involved in a car accident. In some cases, witnesses might assume that since there are so many other people present, someone else will have surely already called for help.Why do people help in some situations but not in others? Experts have discovered a number of different situational variables that contribute to (and sometimes interfere with) prosocial behaviors. First, the more people that are present decreases the amount of personal responsibility people feel in a situation. People also tend to look to others for how to respond in such situations, particularly if the event contains some level of ambiguity. Fear of being judged by other members of the group also plays a role. People sometimes fear leaping to assistance, only to discover that their help was unwanted or unwarranted. In order to avoid being judged by other bystanders, people simply take no action.Experts have suggested that some key things must happen in order for a person to take action.29. Which situation can be described as the bystander effect?A. When hearing an injured lady crying for help, the neighbors didn’t take action.B. On the scene of your colleague’s traffic accide nt, you called the police for helpC. A woman was to give birth on the train and you were the only doctor there.D. Seeing an old man slipping on the icy road, many people volunteered to help.30. What does the underlined word “distress” in the fourth par agraph mean?A. comfortB. despairC. peaceD. trouble31. Prosocial behaviors are motivated for all the following reasons EXCEPT________.A. the desire to better one’s self-imageB. instant benefits of helping othersC. parental influences in the early lifeD. empathy for another individual32. After the last paragraph, the most possible topic could be ________.A. situational influences on prosocial behaviorB. various reasons for prosocial behaviorC. possible benefits of prosocial behaviorD. skills and knowledge to provide assistanceDIn many countries, schools have long summer holidays, with shorter holidays in between. However, a new report suggests shortening school holidays to stop children forgetting what they have learnt during the long summer break. Instead of three school terms, it says, there should be five eight-week terms. And there should be just four weeks off in the summer, with a two-week break between the other terms.Sonia Montero has two children at primary school and works full-time. She supports the idea. “The kids,” she says, “have much longer holidays than me and I can’t afford to take several weeks off work, so I need someone to take care of them. But nobody wants the work in the summer months — they all have holidays of their own.”Not surprisingly, some young people disagree. Student Jason Panos says “It’s a stupid idea. I would hate staying at school in the summer. It’s unfair, too. The people who suggest this had long school holidays when they were young, but now they want to stop us enjoying the summer. The kids in Spain and America have much longer holidays than here, but they don’t forget everything they’ve learnt in a few months.”Nadia Salib agrees. “Sure,” she says, “the first week at school after the s ummer is never easy, but you soon get back into it. The real problem round here is that kids get bored after so many weeks out of school, and then some of them start causing trouble. But the answer is to give them something to do, not make everyone stay in school longer.”33. What does Nadia say about young people on summer holidays?A. They need something to do to enrich themselves.B. Long holidays are very bad for their education.C. They would like to spend more time at school.D. Long holidays should be shortened to stop them causing trouble.34. What does Jason say about long summer holidays?A. These days many older people have them too.B. Schools in other countries don’t have them.C. They can help children forget about school. D. T hey have little influence on children’s education.35. Why is Sonia in support of shorter school holidays?A. .She can’t afford to pay someone to look after her children.B. She is worried that her children will forget what they’ve learnt.C. She doesn’t get any summer holidays in her jobD. She can’t get anyone to look after her children in summer.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。

ASaving Our Oceans●Your MissionTeach oceanographers(海洋学者)with different specialties about other ocean specialties and thus create a better understanding of the ocean as a complete, diverse system.●BriefingYou've been invited to lead the International Oceanographic Conference in Oslo, Norway. Over one hundred of your fellow oceanographers will attend it. The problem is, with so many different specialties in the field-from geological to biological oceanography-the oceanographers at the conference are finding it difficult to understand what their colleagues are studying, let alone to grasp the ocean as an entire, diverse system!Your job will be to give the opening speech at the Conference outlining the general kinds of oceanography in a way that each type of oceanographers will understand. Then, you will assign different oceanographers to different projects and explain to them how best to work together.●Family-x fileYounger Xpeditioners: Pick one project, and learn more about it through its photo gallery. Then, create a poster based on the animals and terrain(地形). Make sure to label each animal that you draw. Show your poster to your family and describe to them what you have drawn.Older Xpeditioners: Learn more about each of the projects: Where in the ocean would oceanographers go to study them? What animals might oceanographers study in the project? Which types of oceanographers would you assign for each project and how would they work together?Finally, think about the ways in which the different general kinds of oceanography might relate. Why is it important to look at the ocean as an entire system, rather than as distinct parts? How might looking at each separate part and the ocean as a whole impact conservation efforts? Practice your speech for the Conference in front of your family.21. What is your mission according to the text?A. To save the oceans all over the earth.B. To attend the International Oceanographic Conference in Norway.C. To enter for an activity with one hundred fellow oceanographers.D. To help better understand the ocean as a complete, diverse system.22. Where can you get the detailed instructions for you in advance?A. From the leader of the conference.B. From Younger Xpeditioners.C. From the part of Briefing.D. From Older Xpeditioners.23. How should you prepare your speech according to the text?A. Practice it at home with the family in front.B. Ask a lot of questions about the oceans.C. Create a poster to get informed.D. Invite other oceanographers to take part.BI have been teaching the tenth-grade English for four years. Needless to say, I love my subject and vowed to one day impart(透露) my love of literature to my future students. Well, I must admit, I have made more than a difference. I have changed the way students perceive(感知) literature and have even inspired some to become English teachers.One student in particular is named John. I met him last year when he was a student in my English class during the eighth period. He sat in the back often, saying very little. However, I sensed that he was taking in all that I taught. John was never absent nor was he late. He seemed very mature for his age.As the year progressed, we read lots of poetry and various stories about different cultures and real-life experiences. I have always wanted literature to speak to my students so that they could find relevant connections which would finally give them that motivation to read, write and interpret. While reading and writing poetry, John wrote some beautiful poetry that spoke of his experiences as a black male in America.On the last day of school, students were asked to write a brief autobiographical essay and to dedicate(献给) it to someone he or she thought was significant in his or her life. John dedicated his essay to me and used clip art that decorated the dedication with roses.He stated in the essay that "some people you meet in life are flowers, but then there are those who are roses. Ms. Hopkins, Ijust want you to know that you are a rose in my life and I have enjoyed every minute of being in your class. You have shown me that I have purpose in life and that I am a poet. I will never forget you." Tears streamed down my eyes. I had had a particularly hard personal life that year and somehow that letter made it worth the struggle.Making a significant contribution to someone's life is something money could never buy. Teaching allows teachers to make a positive difference in the life of someone.24. What's the author's purpose to take John for example?A. To show that her students were all excellent readers.B. To develop her own idea about English literature.C. To prove what she had just said was true.D. To persuade her readers to change their minds.25. Why did John choose to dedicate his autobiographical essay to Ms. Hopkins?A. He thought she was significant in his life.B. He wanted to say to her that she was a red rose.C. He expected her to know he had enjoyed her class.D. He remembered she had promised to let him be a poet.26. What kind of person was the author according to the text?A. Gentle.B. Passionate.C. Humorous.D. Indifferent.27. Which of the following can be the best title for this text?A. The difference a good teacher can makeB. The friendship Ms. Hopkins and John developedC. An experience only Ms. Hopkins and her students could haveD. The significant contribution everyone can makeCZach Bonner knows just how far trying can get you. Earlier this month the eleven-year-old completed his biggest charity project to date. He walked almost two thousand kilometers from his home in Florida to Washington D.C. to raise money for homeless children in America. Zach called his project "From My House to the White House". He carried a message to the American president and lawmakers. He asked for help for the homeless children in the United States. The walk raised tens of thousands of dollars for Zach's cause.His mother says Zach has always enjoyed community service work. It began when Hurricane Charley hit Florida in 2014. Zach decided to help victims by walking around his area with his little red wagon collecting and giving out bottles of water. He got the nickname "Little Red Wagon Boy". Now, "Little Red Wagon" is the name of Zach's foundation. It has raised money for playgrounds and shelters for homeless children. Zach also gives out thousands of backpacks. He fills each "Zachpac" with a toy, personal cleaning supplies, socks, sewing supplies, a first-aid kit and food.Zach has won many awards, met several presidents and been on television. But that is not why he wants to help people. Zach Bonner says if you have a good heart you have to use it. And, he says, charity work is a lot of fun.Eighteen-year-old Christina Johnson and her older sister Geneva started their project, "Bring It On" in the Bronx area of New York City in 2014. They wanted to improve the place where they lived. The area was so dangerous that their parents would not let them play outside.The girls started a program to empower children in their community. "Bring It On" organizes environmental "jams" to clean up waste in the area. The group also holds classes and talks on health, leadership, how to set up small businesses and other issues. "Bring It On" receives money and other support from local businesses and other sponsors.28. Which of the following is NOT true about Zach Bonner?A. He had persuaded his mother to work with him.B. His walk helped raise a large amount of money.C. He won his nickname by helping the victims with a little red wagon.D. He enjoyed himself in doing community service work.29. Why was Zach Bonner's foundation started?A. To ask the American president and lawmakers for help.B. To win awards and appear on television.C. To have a lot of fun with other people.D. To raise money for homeless children.30. What does the underlined phrase "empower children" in the last paragraph refer to?A. Give children the power to do anything.B. Take control of children.C. Enable children to live safely.D. Stop children playing with each other.31. What can be inferred according to the text?A. "Little Red Wagon" and "Bring It On" are the nicknames of youths.B. Young people are leading the way in volunteering in the United States.C. The girls started their program to find lost children in their community.D. Christina Johnson and Geneva are making efforts to raise money.DCompanion planting is the idea that when some crops are planted together, they help eachother grow. The compatible plants generally have similar needs for nutrients, soil and moisture.Advice for companion plantings is sometimes based more on tradition than proof. But Fabian Fernandez at the University of Illinois says there is evidence for some combinations. These can lead to better crops, reduce disease and help with pest control byattracting helpful insects. For example, some kinds of soil bacteria take nitrogen(氮) from the air and make a form that plants can use. The plants keep the nitrogen in their roots. Legumes(豆类) are especially good at this. Any crops sharing the same space can get the nitrogen as the roots decompose(腐烂).Crops like beans and potatoes, carrots and cabbages, beans and rice can also share territory well because their roots reach different levels in the soil. Deep-rooted vegetables get nutrients and moisture from lower down, so they do not compete with shallower plants. But some plants placed together may harm each other's development. For example, tomatoes do not like wet soil but watercress does, as the name suggests. So you would probably not want to put them together.Even after harvest, some kinds of produce should be kept apart. Apples, for example, release ethylene gas,a plant hormone. It can cause other foods to ripen(成熟)too quickly. Markets often separate high ethylene-producing foods from those that are sensitive to the gas. But sometimes you might want them together. For example, if you put an apple in a bag with a green banana, the banana will be ready to eat sooner.Now what about peaches, plums and nectarines that are too firm to eat? Growers in California answer this question at . They say an apple,a banana or a riper piece of fruit is not needed. The peaches, plums and nectarines themselves release enough of the gas to ripen successfully.Here's their advice: place the fruit in afruit bowl or in a paper bag with the top folded over. Keep the fruit at room temperature. When the fruit is soft enough to your liking, either use it or place it in a refrigerator to stop further ripening.32.

安徽省马鞍山市高三英语第二次教学质量监测试试卷解析版
高三英语第二次教学质量监测试试卷一、阅读选择1.阅读理解Below is a list of women who changed the world when they were young girls and teens.Mary ShelleyEnglish author Mary Shelley was just 18 years old when she wrote Frankenstein, which many credit as the origin of science fiction. Thus, Shelley has been called "the teenage girl who invented science fiction."Alexandra ScottAlexandra Scott was diagnosed with a form of cancer shortly before her first birthday. When she was just 4 years old, she set up her first lemonade stand in her front yard to raise money for childhood cancer research. Inspired by her story, people around the world set up their own lemonade stands to raise money for her cause. By the time she died in 2004, she had raised SI million. Her family continues her legacy (遗志) through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation.Yuanyuan TanChinese ballet dancer Yuanyuan Tan started representing her country in international competitions as a young teen. At 17, she became the youngest ever principal dancer at the San Francisco Ballet, as well as the first Chinese dancer to earn that title in a major Western company. She gives talks around the world, inspiring young dancers to follow their artistic dreams.Bindi IrwinBindi Irwin carried on her father Steve Irwin's conservation legacy following his death in 2006. When she was 8 years old, she launched "Bindi the Jungle Girl" to encourage more kids to get interested in animals and wildlife conservation. She has continued to make TV appearances, published books and furthered her father's causes. 〔1〕Who collected money for medical research?A.Mary Shelley.B.Yuanyuan Tan.C.Bindi Irwin.D.Alexandra Scott.〔2〕What is Yuanyuan Tan known as?A.An inspiration to young artists.B.A principal of an art school.C.The youngest ballet company owner.D.The first Chinese ballet dancer.〔3〕What do we know about Bindi Irwin?A.She encourages kids to raise animals.B.She was diagnosed with cancer.C.She makes efforts to conserve wildlife.D.She wrote the first science fiction.2.阅读理解About 50 feet from shore, two brothers were fighting for their lives, their mouths barely able to stay above the water. Thick fog made it difficult for beach goers to see the guys, but the screams were unmistakable and every second counted. The brothers, aged 15 and 20, were wearing shorts and T-shirts, unsuitable for a November day, let alone the 50-degree water. Keven Harder, a supervising ranger, told the North Coast Journal that swimming in such a temperature "will take the fight right out of you."Luckily, four surfers in wet suits were nearby. Narayan Weibel, Spenser Stratton, and Adrian York, all 16, along with Taj Ortiz-beck, 15, were on their surf boards riding on waves when they heard the cries. They turned and saw two bobbing heads and four flailing arms. "We looked at each other and knew they were about to drown, " Weibel said.Weibel, Stratton, and Ortiz-beck paddled toward the distressed swimmers while York headed to shore to call 911. As the surfers drew close, the brothers were struggling. "It was pretty stressful, but there wasn't any time to think about it," Ortiz-beck said. He pulled up alongside the younger brother. Grabbing him under his arms, he raised him up onto the board. Stratton and Weibel, meanwhile, were straining(竭力)to help the elder brother. He was large, about 250 pounds, and panicked. Fortunately, York arrived in time to help get the elder brother atop the second board. The surfers then paddled several minutes through rough water to the medical help waiting onshore. The brothers were scared but fine."When we get a call like this one, it's usually too late by the time we get there, " said Dillon Ceavenger, the first responder. "I can't say enough about what these boys did. They were willing and prepared to risk their lives."〔1〕What do we know about the weather from the first paragraph?A.It was foggy and cold.B.It was pleasant for swimming.C.It was fine with high visibility.D.It was abnormal for a November day.〔2〕What helped the two brothers to be found?A.Beachgoers' search.B.Their loud screams.C.Keven's inspection.D.Their dressing style.〔3〕What can we learn from the third paragraph?A.York raised the elder brother up alone.B.The brothers struggled onto the board.C.The four teenagers had a good cooperation.D.The medical team offered help in the water.〔4〕What can we infer about the surfers from the last paragraph?A.Their big size was troublesome.B.They should be criticized strictly.C.They sacrificed their lives to save others.D.Their quick action counted in the rescue.3.阅读理解The world has been extremely impressed by China's high-speed trains that cross the country by the hundreds in all directions every day, but in one corner of this vast land is a gentle reminder that life was not always this fast. Those fortunate enough to travel to Jiayang in Sichuan province will find railway carriages dragged by steam locomotives(火车头), among the last steam trains operating in China and still running every day. First used to transport coal from Jiayang Coal Mine 62 years ago, today they transport local farmers and their produce to market and serve as a tourist attraction."In the early days of the railway, farmers headed for the farm produce market sitting beside coal," said Liu Chengxi, the Jiayang official in charge of the trains. "As coal production has stopped, the trains are now exclusively(专门地)for farmers and tourists."The narrow railway, only 76.2 cm instead of the standard 144 cm, stretches for 19. 84 km, with the trains reaching a top speed of 20 km/h.A one-way ticket costs 5 yuan for seated passengers and 3 yuan for standing passengers on the ordinary trains regardless of whether they are travelling empty-handed or with animals or vegetables. But Li Cuirong, who has worked as a train dispatcher(调度员)for more than 20 years, recommends tourists pay 80 yuan for a sightseeing train, as the carriages, which have 37 seats, are more comfortable and air-conditioned. A one-way trip takes about one and a half hours.The scenery is dramatic as the train winds through the mountain, passengers can view chickens and geese wandering among the orange trees and butterflies dancing over the fields and ponds.Rob Dickinson, a steam train lover from the United Kingdom, has ridden the trains twice. He hopes the narrow line can last long enough for him to find the time to get back again.〔1〕What can we learn about the steam-powered trains in Jiayang from the text?A.They are 144cm wide.B.They have stopped running.C.They are used to transport coal.D.They have become a tourist attraction.〔2〕Why does Li Cuirong recommend a sight-seeing train for tourists?A.Because it runs faster.B.Because it is money-saving.C.Because it is tourist-friendly.D.Because it offers a round-way trip.〔3〕What is implied in Rob Dickenson's words?A.He can't afford to make another trip.B.The steam-powered trains appeal to him.C.He expects the narrow line to be lengthened.D.The present situation of the railway is worrying.〔4〕What might be the best title for the text?A.A deserted mine alive again.B.A train trip back to a slower age.C.A subway through the mountain.D.A produce market open to tourists.4.阅读理解A latest study on people who eat red meat has found they have higher risks of heart disease and early death. The finding goes against other recent research that suggested removing meat from one's diet has few health benefits. The two opposing findings can make it difficult for people to make sense of what can seem to be conflicting messages on food.Duane Mellor, a dietician at Aston University, and other researchers say that after examining research on the subject, moderation may be the best way forward. "In this case, eating a certain amount of meat, including red meat, is likely to be safe," Mellor said. "However, in the interest of health, reducing meat intake to the recommended less than 70 grams per day would be sensible."A researcher with ties to the meat industry published a report on the subject in 2021, saying that people should not reduce the amount of red meat they eat. Some experts criticized the findings because they were in conflict with dietary advice from international agencies.The latest study found that eating two servings a week of red meat or processed meat was linked to a 3% to 7% higher risk of heart disease and also a 3% higher risk of all causes of death. Norrina Allen, a co-leader of the latest study, said the health risk is small but people should try to change their diet. "It's a small difference, butit's worth trying to reduce red meat and processed meat." She added that eating red meat is also regularly "linked to other health problems like cancer."The World Cancer Research Fund says red and processed meat may cause cancer. It recommends eating red meat with an upper limit of 500 grams cooked weight per week-and "little, if any" processed meat. They said on average, adults should reduce the amount of meat they eat by 50% and they should eat twice as much nuts, fruits, vegetables and beans.〔1〕What does the latest study suggest?A.People should not cut down on the amount of red meat they eat.B.People should remove meat from their diet for the benefit of health.C.Eating red meat is linked to higher risks of heart disease and early death.D.Eating two servings a week of red meat or processed meat has no health risks.〔2〕What does the underlined word "moderation" in the second paragraph mean?A.Doing research by oneself.B.Following one's own heart.C.Avoiding conflicts with others.D.Staying within reasonable limits.〔3〕What does Norrina Allen think of her latest finding?A.It will help improve our eating habit.B.It is in conflict with her former study.C.It has offered two regular cures for cancer.D.It makes no difference to the meat industry.〔4〕What is the last paragraph mainly about?A.Some tips on cooking.B.Advice on a healthy diet.C.Research on the cause of cancer.D.Ties between meat and vegetables.二、任务型阅读5.任务型阅读In our lives. we will have experienced a number of interviews as either interviewee or interviewer. Effective interviews are purposeful, planned and well-structured interactions. To be good at interview is vital to personal development in modern society. ________ The following are the practical guidelines both interviewer and interviewee can benefit from.Be prepared and confident. Understand the purpose of the interview, anticipate the questions you will ask and be asked, understand your goals and be able to communicate them clearly. ________ If you are not excited by your ideas and abilities, why should anyone else be?________ Problems occur in interviews when either the interviewer or the interviewee fails to listen closely to what the other is saying. If participants listen carefully and are not thinking merely about what they plan to say next, the interview has a better chance of being productive.Practice sending and receiving messages. By its very nature, the interview demands that each party be skillful at sending and receiving verbal messages. ________ Not only must you clearly encode(编码)the messages, you each must be skilled at reading the reactions and checking on the perceptions of the receiver.Be flexible. Don't over-prepare or just memorize statements. Think things through thoroughly, but be prepared for questions or answers you haven't anticipated. ________As we can see, the interview, like any other interpersonal relationship, requires the cooperation skill and commitment of both parties to get effective results.A. Demonstrate effective listening skills.B. Reasonable demands of interviewees should be met.C. However, practicing interview questions can benefit you.D. It's significant to adjust to the other person's style and pace.E. Ask and answer questions and express your opinions with enthusiasm.F. You should also focus on the non-verbal signals sent to you and by you.G. Thus, mastering the techniques of impression management is necessary.三、完形填空6.完形填空Learning his mom didn't have a job anymore, 9-year-old Aaron decided to take matters into his own hands.

安徽省马鞍山市2018届高三上学期期末教学质量检测英语试题
安徽省马鞍山市2018届高三上学期期末教学质量检测英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Some scientists win the Nobel Prize for their work. Other scientists win the “Ig Nobel” Prize, which honors real science that is so strange. “We want to make people laugh and then think,” says Ig Nobel founder Marc Abrahams. He and his colleagues pick 10 of the world’s strangest scientific studies on subjects like Physics Biology, Medicine, and so on, to honor each year. Here are two of the strangest Ig Nobel winners since the prize was founded 26 years ago:No-blink photos, almost guaranteed.Why is someone always blinking(眨眼)in your photo?Science says: because you don’t take enough pictures.Winner, 2006 Mathematics Ig Nobel:An Australian photographer wondered how many group shots she should take to be pretty sure no one was blinking. She found ou you need to divide the number of people by 2 to figure it out. Twelve people?Take at least six photos. But with groups over 50, someone will always be caught blinking no matter how many photos you take.The five-second rule is true—sometimes.Have you ever dropped food on the floor, said, “Five-second rule!” then picked it up and eaten it? The idea is that bacteria won’t stick if you pick it up quickly.Winner, 2005 Public Health Ig Nobel:Jillian Clark was still in high school when she did her winning research on the five-second rule. She dropped foods on the floor and then studied the bacteria they picked up in five seconds. Her discovery? If the floor is clean, the food is safe to eat. But how clean is your floor? You need a powerful electron microscope to know for sure.1.Why was the “Ig Nobel” Prize founded?A.To promote laughter and thought.B.To honor strange scientists.C.To help people win the Nobel Prize.D.To make people fight for honors.2.How many shots should you take to ensure a no-blink photo for a group of32 people? A.2.B.6.C.12.D.16.3.Which subject was Jillian Clark’s research about?A.Mathematics.B.Public Health.C.Biology.D.Physics.This is a big week for Maya Van Wagenen. Her very first book Popular, her 8th grade diary, hit shelves across the country. She’s in New York to appear on The Today Show, and does a million interviews that accompany the book’s publication while she says she is worried about keeping up with the lessons she is missing back at her high school in Georgia.As a middle schooler in a Texas town, Maya once considered herself as an outsider. “I always struggled with making friends and finding confidence,” she says. “I felt bulled(欺负)and alone and it was really hard for me.” She said it was Betty Cornell’s Teen-Age Popularity Guide, a 1950s how-to book bought by her dad that greatly inspired her. She decided to follow the advice—devoting each month of her 8th grade year to different chapters like “Neat-looking” and “Be a Hostess”—and see if she could, in fact, become popular. Everyday, she’d taken notes on how people responded to her secret effort(nobody knew she was conducting this social experiment) and then she’d wr ite detailed stories about her experience over the weekend.After she finished the project, she sent the diary to her family. Her aunt passed it to a writer friend who in turn forwarded it to his agent. The agent wanted to sign Maya immediately. It was just the beginning: Penguin was the first publisher to bite and shortly after, Dreamworks got the movie right.And while she’s riding the high of Popular for the time being, she has something else on her mind: her next book. Besides all that homework she has to do when she gets home, she is also writing a novel, for she has a two-book deal from Penguin.“People always ask me, ’Why don’t you just home-school so you have time to work?’” shesays. “But it’s fun in school, and I want to be a young adult writer! Th is is my chance to experience high school, so it’s the most important.”4.Before she read Betty Cornell’s book, Maya felt that her school life was . A.amazingB.inspiringC.difficultD.simple5.What is the book Teen-4ge Popularity Guide mainly about?A.Advice for teenagers to be well-received.B.Advice for teenagers to take notes.C.Ways for teenagers to conduct experiments.D.Ways for teenagers to write stories.6.Which of the following first published Maya’s book Popular?A.The Today Show.B.Penguin.C.Her aunt.D.Dreamworks.7.What can we infer from Maya’s words in the last paragraph?A.Her study at high school is necessary and important.B.More chances are available to home-schooled writers.C.Many adult writers will come to visit her school.D.Young writers should have teaching experience.For as long as I can remember, seniors have attracted too little attention from society as a whole. For example, people may shrink physically as they get older and have a higher incidence of falls, but how many people have thought about buying a more comfortable and stable chair for their elderly parents?We spend generously on our children, such as hiring a nanny to take care of them. When we look for a nanny for our baby, we believe that someone who charges 8,000 yuan must be better than a person who charges 5,000 yuan because they have a better grasp of how to interact with babies. But when we look for someone to take care of our elderly parents, we usually keep our budget as low as possible. We just want to ensure that caregivers will prepare three meals aday for our seniors, but we don’t take their psychological needs into consideration.The differences in attitudes are obvious. However, we are not yet old, so perhaps it’s hard for us to understand the bitterness of the elderly: regression (衰退) in health, a handful of pills every day, not being able to catch up with developments in the digital age, and the disappearance of the old streets and favorite restaurants from the good old days. Those are the kinds of lives they live and we may even live through something similar in the decades to come.If we think about how we want to be treated when we grow old, we should start the changes today.

But sastrugi are not known to form in oval shapes.This is not the first time people have suggested there was a lost civilization in Antarctica.Ever since last year, some people have been claiming (声称) that a strange pyramid in the Antarctic has appeared.A video posted on YouTube by Third Phase of the Moon, a YouTube channel, showed a picture of a pyramid-like structure in the snow. Responses to the picture were varied, with some users backing-up the claims, such as James Jason, who commented: “Excellent report by Third Phase!I also believe things are about to get very dramatic (戏剧性的),and that is for everyone on our planet.”Ashoka Tripathi from the University of Calcutta said the pictures showed clear evidence of an ancient human settlement beneath the ice sheet. “These are clearly characteristics of some sort of human-made structure, like some sort of pyramidal structure,” he said. “The patterns clearly show nothing we should expect from nature. We clearly have evidence of human engineering here,” John Emerson, his coll eague, added.But others were against it, such as Gordon Anderson, who said, “I have spent a lot of time on snow covered mountains—skiing down, and this looks natural to me—not man made anyway!”12.What makes Peter Tumney believe in human civilization in Antarctica?A.The ice sheet.B.A heavy snowfall.C.A big sastrugi.D.An oval-shaped structure.13.What is Third Phase of the Moon?A.A picture.B.A person.C.A channel.D.A video.14.Who thinks the pyramidal structure is natural?A.James Jason.B.Ashoka Tripathi.C.John Emerson.D.Gordon Anderson.15.Which of the following might be the best title for the text?A.Antarctica, a possible land of civilizationB.South Pole, a splendid place to live inC.Evidence of a newly-found planetD.An excel lent post on Ancient Code二、七选五Brush, ink, inkstone and paper are known as the Four Treasures of the Scholar’s Studio. 16.The brush pen was used as early as the seventh or sixth century BC.The holder is usually made of bamboo. Different from the pen we use today, the tip of the brush pen is soft and big. 17.The animal hair used is extremely important to the quality of the brush, but the material for the holder is relatively less important.The brush was used with ink, basically made from pine soot (松烟) or lampblack and glue with many other kinds of additives. 18.A writer then rubs the dry ink stick against an inkstone, a polished and often decorative piece of stone with a shallow bowl carved into one end. Water is added to the shallow bowl, while the writer moves the ink stick in a circular motion (运动) to form dark, liquid ink. 19.Archaeological (考古学的) evidence shows paper was invented around the first century BC.People used materials such as raw hemp (生麻) and tree bark to produce paper. 20.By the third century, paper was already widely used instead of traditional writing materials such as bamboo slips and silks.A.It is usually made of wolf, rabbit, or goat hair.B.Brush pens were used to write and paint as well.C.Ink is kept as a solid, dry stick until ready for use.D.In the past, the scholar-official class used these treasures as tools of writing.E.Since these materials were readily available, paper was inexpensive to produce.F.So some inkstones with fine decorations can fetch really high prices on the market.G.When a desired blackness of ink is reached, the writer then uses the brush to lift the ink directly from the inkstone.三、完形填空For most people, retirement is the time during which they will spend the rest of their lives at home, bored to death.

Some of them even risk 41.(run) red lights to deliver their meals in time.

They face company fines for delivering food late. Moreover, the more orders they take, the more money they can earn, 45.leads to some workers checking 46.(they) mobile phones for new orders while they are riding their bikesWhile most companies require delivery workers to follow traffic rules, it remains a problem whether these requirements and rules are 47.(strict) obeyedTo solve the problem, some cities 48.(take) action since last year.

安徽省马鞍山市2018届高三第二次教学质量监测英语试题学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________一、阅读选择Two Interesting StoriesShaving Away the EyebrowsSi Burgher had some of the longest eyebrows in Indiana. They were so long that he had to brush them every day so that they did not look like a wild hair. They measured more than three inches in length. However, according to NBC News, the one thing that was even more important to him was the Bloomfield Rotary Club’s campaign to end polio (脊髓灰质炎). According to , it started out as a light-hearted joke in which his fellow club members said that people would probably pay to trim (修剪) his eyebrows. After thinking about it, Burgher agreed.Tickets for trimming Burghers eyebrows started at $100 for a swipe (刮) with the razor. The first person in line was his wife. With each eyebrow taking eight swipes to finish off, Burgher managed to raise $ 1,600 for the polio cure. His wife told reporters that she was delighted with his new look and that it made him look kind and handsome.Stunt (特技) DrivingAccording to the report from World of , Sue Harding hated the stereotype (成见) that librarians were boring just as much as she cared for the doctors and nurses in the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service. She came up with the idea to get rid of the stereotype by involving herself in a stunt driving course. In the process she raised funds. According to the Times, people could come out and watch. All earnings were to be donated to the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service.When the big day came, her stunt driving skills turned out to be quite impressive for a librarian. She put the stunt car through the paces, throwing handbreak turns and following the speed and shoot chase formation. Not only did it get rid of the stereotype but it also raised money for the Ambulance Service.1.What caused Si Burgher to have his eyebrows trimmed?A.The club members’ joke.B.A report from NBC News.C.His wife’s encouragement.D.His wish for handsomeness.2.What is Sue Harding?A.A reporter. B.A librarian.C.A doctor. D.A nurse.3.What did Si Burgher and Sue Harding have in common?A.They collected money for others. B.They paid for interesting stories. C.They took part in a club’s campaign.D.They were tired of their boring jobs.My father was a taxi driver but I am a king—King Renato, of the country Pontinha, an island on Funchal harbour. It’s in Madeira, Portugal, where I grew up. It was discovered in 1419; Captain Cook once came here.In 1903, the Portuguese government didn’t have enough money to build a harbor port, so the king sold the land to a wealthy British family, the Blandys, who make Madeira wine. Fourteen years ago, the family decided to sell it for just € 25,000 (£19,500). I decided to bu y it though I had no money—I was just an art teacher.I tried to find some business partners, but they all thought I was crazy to want to buy what is actually a large rock; it has a small cave, a platform on top, and no electricity or running water. So I sold some of my possessions, put my savings together and bought it.When the king of Portugal originally sold the island in 1903, he and all the governors signed a document, selling all the “possessions and the dominions (领土)” of the island. It means I can do what I want with it—I could start a restaurant, or a cinema, but nobody thought that someone would want to start a country. So that’s what I did: I decided that this would no longer be just a rock on the port of Funchal. It would be my island, about the size of aone-bedroom house.After I bought it, the governor of Madeira asked to buy my island. Of course, I said no. He said that unless I sold it back to the state, he wouldn’t let me connect to any electricity. But I have a solar panel and a small windmill, and maybe in the future I will be able to generate power from the ocean around Pontinha.4.What does the writer want to show by mentioning his father?A.He had a royal family. B.He loved his family.C.He was not a born king. D.He was not a good driver.5.Who sold the island to the author?A.A Portuguese king. B.An art teacher.C.The Blandy family. D.Captain Cook.6.How did the writer start the country?A.He discovered the island.B.He found business supporters.C.He was supported by citizens in the island.D.He took advantage of the official document.7.What can we infer about the country Pontinha?A.It was a tiny island.B.A harbor port was built on it.C.It was a wealthy land.D.Life there was very convenient.Readers in Grenoble can now nibble (啃) fiction after Publisher Short Edition introduced eight short-story dispensers (自动售货机) around the French city.The free stories are available at the touch of a button, printing out on rolls of paper like a receipt. Readers are able to choose one minute, three minutes, or five minutes of fiction.“The feedback we got has been extremely positive. Just two weeks since its launch, more than 10,000 stories have already been printed. We are thrilled to see it working so well,” said the co-founder Quentin Pleple. “There are only eight dispensers in the city of Grenoble for now but we are planning to introduce more. We are getting requests from all over theworld-Australia, the US, Canada, Russia, Grace, Italy, Spain and Chile.”Pleple said he and his team initially came up with the idea a couple of years ago when taking a break at a drink dispenser. “We thought it would be cool to have it for short stories,” said the publisher. ‘Then, we decided to make a difference: the short-story dispenser was born.”The French publisher hopes the story will be used to fill the “dead time” of a passenger. “In the bus or the subway, everyone can make the most of these moments to read short stories, poems, or short picture books,” said a statement from Short Edition. “And th ey can be sure to enjoy the quality.”The dispensers arc now in locations including Grenoble’s town hall, its tourist office and its library. The stories are drawn from more than 60,000 stories on Short Edition’s website. But there is a problem that users are not able to choose what type of story they would like to read. “Right now they can only choose the length. But that is exactly what really counts, isn’t it?” said Pleple.8.Where can you probably see a short-story dispenser at present?A.In Chile. B.In CanadaC.In France. D.In Italy.9.What does the underlined word “launch” in the third paragraph probably mean? A.Coming into use. B.Being thrown away.C.Being found out. D.Breaking down.10.Why did Short Edition provide short-story dispensers?A.To help people kill time in the journey.B.To encourage people to write short stories.C.To attract international tourists to Grenoble.D.To do research in the field of new technology.11.In what aspect does the short-story dispenser need to improve?A.The length of the stories. B.The quality of the stories.C.The number of the stories. D.The choice of different stories.Last week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.Kitty Hawk president, Sebastia n Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday. According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40 kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. Thecompany has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?12.What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present?A.Accelerating the speed. B.Having fun.C.Advertising the company. D.Fetching water.13.What do we know about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph?A.It costs two thousand dollars each. B.It can travel over water.C.It offers $100 to its potential buyers. D.It hasn’t gone to market.14.In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car?A.They travel at the same speed. B.They are electric-powered.C.They are supported by the Uber app. D.They require a flying license. 15.What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?A.To call for public donations. B.To introduce some advantages.C.To promote interest in science. D.To talk about possible problems.二、七选五Long before the Internet, and even before the telephone, people relied on pen and paper to communicate. It’s a lot different from writing an email because when you make a mistake, you cannot “backspace” your errors away. 16.Letter writing has been a key means of communication for people throughout history.17.Famous names like Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci graced my history textbooks growing up, with stories of their explorations. Much of what we know about them is through the letters they wrote to people back in Europe.There were two main reasons why these early explorers wrote letters.18.The other reason for writing letters was to assure and update the people who financed their trips. These so-called sponsors were often noblemen or wealthy people who had a personal interest in world discoveries. Letters from explorers would raise hopes that new lands could bring more riches.When the British began building colonies (殖民地) in America during the 17th century, these lands were settled by people who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.19.Their letters were mixed with news of illness as well as details of their exotic (异国的) surroundings.20.With the widespread use of the Internet, the tiny differences of a person’s handwri ting are lost to the cold, typewritten text that comes with an email. A person’s unique signature is reserved for signing a receipt for a credit card payment.A.Letter writing is just how you travel around the world.B.You simply cross out your mistakes with your pen and continue writing.C.The early settlers faced a lot of challenges in the unfamiliar environment.D.One was a boy from England who liked the same music as me: rock and roll.E.Four hundred years later, however, we don’t really need to write letters anymore.F.It played a vital part in the exploration of the ‘"New World”, as America was once known.G.One was to document for the people back home what they saw as they journeyed through the faraway, mysterious land.三、完形填空Yan Wei, a 30-year-old blind man, has just covered a marathon on Sunday.

ATwo Interesting StoriesShaving Away the EyebrowsSi Burgher had some of the longest eyebrows in Indiana. They were so long that he had to brush them every day so that they did not look like a wild hair. They measured more than three inches in length. However, according to NBC News, the one thing that was even more important 10 him was the Bloomfield Rotary Club’s campaign to end polio (脊髓灰质炎). According to , it started out as a light-hearted joke in which his fellow club members said that people would probably pay to trim (修剪) his eyebrows. After thinking about it, Burgher agreed.Tickets for trimming Burghers eyebrows started al $100 for a swipe (刮) with the razor. The first person in line was his wife. With each eyebrow taking eight swipes to finish off, Burgher managed to raise $ 1,600 for the polio cure. His wife told reporters that she was delighted with his new look and that it made him look kind and handsome.Stunt (特技) DrivingAccording to the report from World of , Sue Harding hated the stereotype (成见) that librarians were boring just as much as she cared for the doctors and nurses in the Warwickshireand Northampton Air Ambulance Service. She came up with the idea to get rid of the stereotype by involving herself in a stunt driving course. In the process she raised funds. According to the Times, people could come out and watch. All earnings were to be donated to the Warwickshire and Northampton Air Ambulance Service.When the big day came, her stunt driving skills turned out to be quite impressive for a librarian. She put the stunt car through the paces, throwing handbreak turns and following the speed and shoot chase formation. Not only did it get rid of the stereotype but it also raised money for the Ambulance Service.21. What caused Si Burgher to have his eyebrows trimmed?A. The club members’ joke.B. A report from NBC News.C. His wife’s encouragement.D. His wish for handsomeness.22. What is Sue Harding?A. A reporter.B. A librarian.C. A doctor.D. A nurse.23.

It was discovered in 1419; Captain Cook once came here.In 1903, th e Portuguese government didn’t have enough money to build a harbor port, so the king sold the land to a wealthy British family, the Blandys, who make Madeira wine. Fourteen years ago, the family decided to sell it for just € 25,000 (£19,500). I decided to buy it though I had no money—I was just an art teacher.I tried to find some business partners, but they all thought I was crazy to want to buy what is actually a large rock; it has a small cave, a platform on top, and no electricity or running water. So I sold some of my possessions, put my savings together and bought it.When the king of Portugal originally sold the island in 1903, he and all the governors signed a document, selling all the “possessions and the dominions (领土)” of the island. It means I can dowhat I want with it—I could start a restaurant, or a cinema, but nobody thought that someone would want to start a country. So that’s what I did: I decided that this would no longer be just a rock on the port of Funchal. It would be my island, about the size of a one-bedroom house.After I bought it, the governor of Madeira asked to buy my island. Of course, I said no. He said that unless I sold it back to the state, he wouldn’t let me connect to any electricity. But I have a solar panel and a small windmill, and maybe in the future I will be able to generate power from the ocean around Pontinha.24. What does the writer want to show by mentioning his father?A. He had a royal family.B. He loved his family.C. He was not a born king.D. He was not a good driver.25. Who sold the island to the author?A. A Portuguese king.B. An art teacher.C. The Blandy family.D. Captain Cook.26. How did the writer start the country?A. He discovered the island.B. He found business supporters.C. He was supported by citizens in the island.D. He took advantage of the official document.27. What can we infer about the country Pontinha?A. It was a tiny island.B. A harbor port was built on it.C. It was a wealthy land.D. Life there was very convenient.CReaders in Grenoble can now nibble (啃) fiction after Publisher Short Edition introduced eight short-story dispensers (自动售货机) around the French city.The free stories are available at the touch of a button, printing out on rolls of paper like a receipt. Readers are able to choose one minute, three minutes, or five minutes of fiction.“The feedback we got has been extremely positive. Just two weeks since its launch, more than 10,000 stories have already been printed. We are thrilled to see it working so well,” said the co-founder Quentin Pleple. “Th ere are only eight dispensers in the city of Grenoble for now but we are planning to introduce more. We are getting requests from all over the world-Australia, the US,Canada, Russia, Grace, Italy, Spain and Chile.”Pleple said he and his team initially came up with the idea a couple of years ago when taking a break at a drink dispenser. “We thought it would be cool to have it for short stories,” said the publisher. ‘Then, we decided to make a difference: the short-story dispenser was born.”The French publ isher hopes the story will be used to fill the “dead time” of a passenger. “In the bus or the subway, everyone can make the most of these moments to read short stories, poems, or short picture books,” said a statement from Short Edition. “And they can be s ure to enjoy the quality.”The dispensers arc now in locations including Grenoble’s town hall, its tourist office and its library. The stories are drawn from more than 60,000 stories on Short Edition’s website. But there is a problem that users are not abl e to choose what type of story they would like to read. “Right now they can only choose the length. But that is exactly what really counts, isn’t it?” said Pleple.28. Where can you probably see a short-story dispenser at present?A. In Chile.B. In CanadaC. In France.D. In Italy.29. What does the underlined word “launch” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Coming into use.B. Being thrown away.C. Being found out.D. Breaking down.30. Why did Short Edition provide short-story dispensers?A. To help people kill time in the journey.B. To encourage people to write short stories.C. To attract international tourists to Grenoble.D. To do research in the field of new technology.31. In what aspect does the short-story dispenser need to improve?A. The length of the stories.B. The quality of the stories.C. The number of the stories.D. The choice of different stories.DLast week, two companies, Kitty Hawk and Uber, announced their plans to bring flying cars to reality very soon.Kitty Hawk president, Sebastian Thrun, announced Kitty Hawk’s flying car plans last Monday, According to its website, the car is electric-powered and will be able to travel at speeds up to 40kilometers an hour. It says such a machine “does not require registration or a pilot’s license and may be flown in uncrowded areas for recreational purposes.” As of now, the car can only be flown over fresh water.Kitty Hawk is making a list of people interested in buying the flying car. They must pay a deposit of $ 100. Those who get their names on the list early will receive $2,000 off the final cost of the car. However, Kitty Hawk has not yet announced the price. Its first flying cars are expected to go on sale by the end of this year.Unlike the Kitty Hawk company, Uber does not plan to build its flying cars. Uber expects to launch flying taxis in Dallas-Ft. Worth, Texas, US by 2020. Like the Kitty Hawk car, Uber flying taxis will use electric power. Uber says its flying taxis could travel up to 241 kilometers an hour. The company says that could reduce the travel time between San Francisco and San Jose, California from 2 hours on the road to 15 minutes in the air.Riders could use the Uber app to book a flying taxi to take them to their destinations. The comply has not yet said how costly air taxi travel would be compared to road taxi travel.Sooner than you think, flying cars may appear in the sky. Much convenience as they will bring, just imagine having to avoid other flying cars. Also, what if your battery dies when you are in the air? And, how will you know where to land?32. What may Kitty Hawk’s flying car be used for at present?A. Accelerating the speed.B. Having fun.C. Advertising the company.D. Fetching water.33. What do we kn ow about Kitty Hawk’s flying car from the third paragraph?A. It costs two thousand dollars each.B. It can travel over water.C. It offers $100 to its potential buyers.D. It hasn’t gone to market.34. In what way is Uber’s flying taxi similar to Kitty Hawk’s flying car?A. They travel at the same speed.B. They are electric-powered.C. They are supported by the Uber app.D. They require a flying license.35. What is the purpose of the last paragraph of the text?A. To call for public donations.B. To introduce some advantages.C.
