陕西省渭南市尚德中学《高中英语阅读理解》单元测试题

一、高中英语阅读理解1.阅读理解If you're a fan of smart technology, you may have had some sleepless nights lately. That's because Alexa, the artificial intelligence (AI) behind US company Amazon's Echo smart speakers, has been "letting out an unprompted (自发的),creepy (令人毛骨悚然的)cackle for no apparent reason, according to BBC News.Many social media users shared their stories of Alexa scaring them with the seemingly unprompted laugh."Every time Alexa laughs, an angel dies," Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk joked on social media.On March 7, Amazon released an update that fixed the problem, saying that the laugh was caused by Echo devices mistakenly thinking that users had said the command " Alexa, laugh".However, what should have been a funny story raised the ongoing topic of man versus machine. With the rise of artificial and robotic technology, "Digital machines started to demonstrate broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other area that used to be particularly human," wrote Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee in their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies. They believe that AI will "do more and more, and our lives will get better".However, ever since the earliest days of AI there have been concerns that some day, software will take over the world, leaving the fate of humans unknown."With artificial intelligence we are order the demon (魔鬼)Musk told students during a meeting at MIT in 2014. "If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very carefulMany scientists have shared the same concern. The late British physicist Stephen Hawking said at a technology conference in Portugal in November that "computers can. in theory, imitate human intelligence, and exceed it ••• AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization."If creators are to safely control AL however, Hawking suggested that they "employ best practice and effective management".I am an optimist and I believe that we can create AI for the good of the world," he said at the conference. "We simply need to be aware of the dangers, identify them, employ the best possible practice and management, and prepare for its consequences well in advance."(1)What does the underlined word "cackle" in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.movementughterC.screamD.story(2)The story of Alexa is intended to .A.lead into the discussion about humans and AIB.prove artificial intelligence has its weaknessesrm readers of the development of AID.show how Alexa's problem was fixed(3)According to Brynjolfsson and McAfee, which statement below is probably TRUE?A.The development of AI could threaten our survival one day.B.Digital machines have complete ability to recognize something without mistakes.C.Robots will never match humans in complex communication.D.Humans lives will be greatly improved with the help of robots.(4)What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Man VS.

马克思与恩格斯那一代哲学家还大多惊叹于科学技术推动社会进步的巨大力量,将技术看作是人延长了的手臂,20世纪以后,两次世界大战催生出了技术的军事化用途,让诸如海德格尔这一代先贤大哲发现了技术与人的存在之间的内在悖论。

时至今日,技术早已不再是社会发展的“工具”和“手段”,而成为人类自己为自己制造出的一个强大对手。

自从Alpha Go与Alpha Zero相继诞生,人们开始对于技术的自我增长产生了普遍的恐惧。

人工智能——人的这个创造物战胜人的神话正在从科幻小说中走出来,变为现实。

其实,今天人工智能对人类存在造成的危机与二战期间原子弹爆炸所带来的恐慌并无二致。

它所表达的也是技术对于人类生存构成的威胁。

在哲学上,我们可以用知识论与存在论的对抗性关系来概括这一危机。

技术本质上是哲学知识论的必然后果,其基本的诉求是试图将世界上存在的一切都进行形式化的抽象,也就是说,将一切都还原为抽象的数字,从而适用于可计算性。

而存在论,则意味着对于人自身的关照,其中人的情绪、情感成为了关照的重心。

大体说来,那些对于人工智能充满信心者,以及那些对于人工智能所产生的威胁忧心忡忡者都不过是知识论的拥趸;而大部分的哲学家们都可能会立足于存在论,而对于人工智能所带来的威胁不以为然。

Although I had been productive early in my graduate career, my long hours and hard work were no longer translating into success in the laboratory, and I felt hopeless about achieving my goals. Something had to change.As I began to search for the cause of my struggles, I became increasingly aware that my “quiet time” at the lab bench — for instance, when I was running columns or experiments — was anything but. Instead of thinking about science, I was watching television or interacting with social media on my smartphone. Although I could cover up this inefficiency with longer hours, my work felt chaotic (混乱的) and disorganized. I would come home from a long day in the lab and respond to e-mails or messages over dinner or in bed. This all came to a head last summer, when my inability to balance work and life led me to seek help from the university’s student mental-health services.Through a combination of consultation and personal reflection, I came to understand my problem. To regain my focus, I chose to reduce my connectivity by using a basic mobile phone without an Internet connection during work hours, and removing unnecessary apps from my smartphone when I did use it.Underscoring the addictive nature of smartphones, I experienced symptoms of withdrawal when I first did this. With time, however, I began to make practical use of my quiet time. I started reading papers during long experiments, and developed a habit of writing in my down time.Perhaps most importantly, I have felt my anxiety decrease and my productivity and creativity improve dramatically, trading my chaotic work-life relationship for one with clearer boundaries and plenty of new scientific ideas. Now, even when I do carry my smartphone, Ifeel less forced to check for e-mails or messages, and can concentrate more closely on whatever task is at hand.4.What does the underlined part “hit a rut” in paragraph 1 mean?A.Stopped progressing smoothly.B.Had very slow reactions.C.Accepted hard work’s value.D.Overcame a big problem.5.What made the author struggle?A.Running columns or experiments.B.His inability to get mental-healthservices.C.Replying to e-mails or messages.D.His addiction to the phone.6.What did the author choose to do during his quiet time later?A.Reflect on his successes and failures.B.Learn practical writing.C.Watch television news.D.Do some reading.7.How does the author feel now?A.More courageous.B.More sociable.C.More focused.D.More understanding.When the company OpenAI developed its new artificial intelligence (AI) program, ChatGPT, in late 2022, educators began to worry. ChatGPT could create text that seemed like a human wrote it. How could teachers discover whether students were using language created by an AI chatbot to cheat on a writing task?As a linguist who studies the effects of technology on how people read, write and think, I believe there are other more pressing concerns besides cheating. These include whether AI, more generally, threatens student writing skills, the value of writing as a process, and the importance of regarding writing as a tool for thinking.As part of my research on the effects of AI on human writing, I surveyed young adults in the U.S. about some issues related to those effects. One participant said that at some point if you depend on predictive text, you’re going to lose your spelling abilities. Enter “Was Rom” into a Google search and you’re given a list of choices like “Was Rome built in a day”. Type “ple” into a text message and you’re offered “please” and “plenty”. These tools complete our sentences automatically, giving us little chance to think about our spelling, and continuously asking us to follow their suggestions.Evan Selinger, a philosopher, worried that predictive texting reduces the power ofwriting as a form of mental activity and personal expression. “By encouraging us not to think too deeply about our words, predictive technology may change how we deal with each other,” Selinger wrote. “We give others more algorithms (算法) and less of ourselves. Automation can stop us thinking and the resulting text didn’t feel like mine anymore.”I asked ChatGPT whether it was a threat to humans’ motivation to write. The bot responded: “There will always be a demand for creative, original content that requires the unique viewpoint of a human writer.” It continued: “Writing serves many purposes beyond just the creation of content, such as self-expression, communication, and personal growth, which can continue to encourage people to write even if certain types of writing can be automated.”I was glad to find the program had seemingly admitted its limitations.8.What is the author’s main concern about ChatGPT?A.Whether it will lead to students’ cheating.B.Whether it will shape students’ writing style.C.How students will make use of it at school.D.What effects it will have on students’ writing.9.What will predictive technology do to us according to Evan Selinger?A.Give us more creative ideas.B.Make us write like a machine.C.Encourage us to think more deeply.D.Make us tend to ignore grammatical mistakes.10.What can we learn from ChatGPT’s response?A.Writing will become completely automated.B.Robots will work with humans in writing.C.Robot writing will become more creative.D.Human writing will still matter a lot.11.What can be the best title for the text?A.What impact will AI bring to writing?B.What is the future of modern literature?C.How to improve writing with AI’s help?D.How to apply AI technology toeducation?Two-thirds of the world population lives under conditions where the freshwater demand is more than twice the natural water availability for at least one month per year. According toofficial statistics, one billion of those live in India and 0.9 billion live in China. Other areas facing this problem for longer periods include Bangladesh (130 million people), the western and southern states of the USA (130 million), Pakistan (120 million), Nigeria (110 million), and Mexico (90 million).Communities use a range of techniques to overcome this issue. In dry summers, those near the coast can desalinate (淡化) seawater, although the process requires a large amount of energy and expenditure. Some remote inland communities have alternative methods that suit their particular conditions. For example, many high-altitude Chilean communities in the Andes use fog collectors, specialized nets that can gather just a few liters a day.Elsewhere, there’s another option available. Researchers at ETH Zurich have developed a new device that passively harvests water from the air around the clock. The device is made up of a specially coated glass pane (玻璃板) that reflects solar radiation and also radiates away its own heat. In doing so, it cools down by as much as 15 degrees Celsius below the surrounding temperatures. This difference in temperature between the air and the pane causes water vapor to condense (凝结) on its underside, which can then be easily collected.Tests so far have been conducted on a university building in Zurich and suggest that the device can produce twice as much water per day as other passive water-collection technologies. Under ideal conditions, researchers harvested 0.53 decilitres of water per square metre of the surface per hour. “That’s close to the theoretical maximum value of 0.6 decilitres per hour, which is physically impossible to exceed,” says Iwan Hachler, a doctoral student who is working on the technology.The zero-energy input of the set-up could make it suitable for use in developing countries, particularly in remote communities where water shortage is often combined with power shortages. The scientists are hopeful that the device could be used with other water-collection methods, such as desalination, to increase productivity.12.What does the author want to tell us by mentioning official statistics in Paragraph 1?A.Fresh water insecurity is a global crisis.B.Water resources are unevenly distributed globally.C.Lack of water seriously restricts many countries’ growth.D.Developed countries are better at handling water shortages.13.How do many Chileans living in the Andes deal with the inadequate water supply?A.By harvesting water from fog.B.By bringing in seawater and purifying it.C.By moving to water-rich areas in summer.D.By cutting down on their water consumption.14.Why is a coated glass pane used in the new device?A.To hold the condensed water.B.To work as a cooling surface.C.To get rid of harmful solar radiation.D.To record the changes in temperature. 15.What can be inferred about the new device?A.It produces satisfying outcomes.B.It is limited to laboratory environments.C.It has met with theoretical bottlenecks.D.It needs further confirmation fromexperts.二、七选五“Beauty is only skin deep” it is said. This means that a person’s appearance is not as important as their character. Yet it is strange why people and especially women are willing toonly be one, and it is that beauty has its advantages.Attractive people are more popular generally. Beauty draws a positive response from the people around. This is obvious with children. For example, based on observation, there is a tendency for adults to treat good-looking children better. This favorable treatment continues into adulthood, as attractive people are more likely to be chosen for leadership positions and given more opportunities. 17Another important benefit that good-looking people enjoy is that they find a husband or wife more easily. 18 This initial attraction may then develop into romantic feelings and a serious relationship if the couple find that they are compatible (和睦相处的) with each other.On the other hand, beauty has a number of disadvantages as well. Firstly, a good-looking person tends to attract unwanted attention from all kinds of people. The admirer may have bad intentions and cause problems for the target. 19 It is thought that beauty and brains do not go together. Thus, attractive people may not gain respect even when they deserve it because of this prejudice against them.While every individual should take care of their outward appearance and look their best,they should not neglect (忽视) their inner beauty or character. 20 Also, they should not forget physical beauty is indeed, only skin deep and will not last.A.Life is not always easy for beautiful people.B.The skincare industry is a multi-billion dollar business.C.It turns out being conventionally beautiful has its benefits.D.It is a fact that people are first attracted to outward appearance.E.They should not place such importance on beauty that they become proud.F.Being well-treated gives attractive people more confidence and they perform better.G.Another problem faced by good-looking people is that they may not be taken seriously.三、完形填空It’s the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill21.A.studying B.staying C.looking D.packing 22.A.visit B.help C.follow D.make 23.A.sell B.have C.bring D.taste 24.A.filled B.locked C.abandoned D.lost 25.A.surprised B.pleased C.excited D.worried 26.A.dug B.cleared C.cut D.laid 27.A.delicious B.safe C.soft D.ready 28.A.left B.nodded C.waited D.regretted 29.A.far B.funny C.wrong D.blind 30.A.beach B.driveway C.hall D.table 31.A.application B.apology C.request D.invitation 32.A.hungry B.dead C.missing D.wild 33.A.wake up B.get out C.take off D.break in 34.A.mess B.puzzle C.fight D.challenge 35.A.recovered B.retired C.escaped D.matured 36.A.suffering B.plans C.madness D.actions 37.A.hands in pocket B.nose in the air C.hat in handD.feet on the ground38.A.indirectly B.deliberately C.cautiously D.secretly 39.A.replace B.remember C.reconsider D.renew 40.A.arrived B.worked C.ended D.disappeared四、用单词的适当形式完成短文阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.AIt may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.Scenic WorldOn a visit to the World heritage-listed Blue Mountains, enjoy clean fresh air and breath-taking landscapes of ancient rainforests. Scenic World in Katoomba is the best way to access the beauty of this region. Besides climbing, you can choose cablecars, elevated boardwalks or the Scenic Railway—the world’s steepest train travelling through a rock tunnel, to reach the mountain top.Royal National ParkEstablished in 1879, the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.Featherdale Wildlife ParkLocated 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals (哺乳动物) and reptiles (爬行动物). Situated in a bushland environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions (交往). Hand-feed a kangaroo, have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingos, emus, penguins and more.The Hawkesbury RiverAn hour north-west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury is one of New South Wales’best-kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.21. What can you do when visiting Scenic World?A. Ride horses.B. Hand-feed a kangaroo.C. Go surfing.D. Climb mountains.22. If you are an animal lover, you can go to .A. Scenic WorldB. Royal National ParkC. The Hawkesbury RiveD. Featherdale Wildlife Park23. What do Royal National Park and The Hawkesbury River have in common?A. Both can be reached by cablecars.B. Visitors can go swimming and fishing.C. Bushwalking is available on the two trips.D. Visitors can enjoy beautiful mountain sceneryBMilitary training has long been considered a ritual(仪式) that freshmen must go through in order to officially start their college lives. While some question the necessity of such training. Many students see military training as a campus tradition that should be maintained.Early in February, the Ministry of Education issued a new regulation that colleges and universities should carry out a minimum of 14 days compulsory military training for freshmen.In a report by Beijing Evening News, Hou Zhengfang, a Beijing-based education PhD, questioned the benefits of military training.“The training routine does little to improve students’physical fitness over only two weeks’time. Maybe some disaster prevention training, such as earthquake survival or escaping from fires would be of greater benefit.”Meng Yang, a 19-year-old freshman at Guangxi University, fainted during training. She said that many students, especially girls, are unwilling to train under direct sunshine.“For me, military training is physically challenging and even damages my health.”According to Li Jian from the student affairs office of Guangzhou University, feeling dizzy happens frequently during military training and the school has received a lot of complaints from both students and parents:“But I still think military training is a good thing. Students are easier to manage after the military training. They became more positive about their new environment after the training.”Although autumn is fast approaching Beijing, the noon heat burns 3,300 freshmen on Tsinghua University’s campus. Chu Jinjing, a freshman majoring in medicine, did feel some discomfort while training in sweaty clothes in the glaring heat. The 18-year-old still enjoyed being part of group going through strict exercises.“Bygoing through this tough training, students bond faster and a sense of belonging to the school can be formed. I have made a lot of friends already.”According to the Ministry of Education, the purpose of military training is to teach students discipline, the spirit of teamwork and endurance. But in reality, according to Xiong Bingqi, deputy director of the 21st Century Education Research Institute, the effect is not satisfying.“Such goals require long-term development. It is unrealistic to expect military training to make a difference in only 14 days.”He thus suggests that it should be up to schools to conduct military training in a way that best suits their students.However, Wang Wenhui, an 18-year-old freshman from Xi’an Jiaotong University, sees military training as a tradition that reaches beyond character building. “From junior and senior high school to college, we join military training to start a new journey. I would feel a bit incomplete without it.”24. According to Hou Zhengfang, it seems much more beneficial to give freshmen_______.A. survival skillsB. military trainingC. the spirit of teamwork and enduranceD. strict exercises25. What is the author’s attitude towards milita ry training?A. SupportiveB. SubjectiveC. ObjectiveD. Opposed26. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Policy Made by the Ministry of EducationB. Military Training under FireC. A New JourneyD. A Best Way to Teach Students DisciplineCCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to communications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 800 people to 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time.Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warning. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20,000 people who dug for gold, 4,000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never comfortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had come. Today, people still come and go — to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City — its present population is762.27.What attracted the early settlers to New York City?A. Its business culture. B. Its small population.C.
