strategy(策略).There are lessons in that time﹣honored coin﹣saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps.If you wished to climb a 12,000﹣foot mountain,and could do it a day at a time,you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year.If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion,to collect the 15,000cost,youhavetosave3.93 a day.If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after﹣tax,you will have your trip money.When I was a child,my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that,if I wanted something,I should save money to buy it.We associate piggy banks with children,but in many countries,the little containers are also popular with adults.Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.Around the world,many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year's Day brings good luck and financial success.Ah,but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving?Why not an elephant bank,which is bigger and holds more coins?In the Middle Ages,before modern banking and credit instruments,people saved money at home,a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish.Potters(制陶工)made these inexpensive containers from an orange﹣colored clay(黏土)called"pygg,"and folks saved coins in pygg jars.The MiddleEnglish word for pig was"pigge".While the Saxons pronounced pygg,referring to the clay,as"pug",eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation,sounding the"i"as in pig or piggy.As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal,a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig,delighting children and adults.The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money,bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings.While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving,adults often need to relearn childhood lessons.Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money﹣﹣﹣college education,weddings,cars,medical care,starting a business,buying a home,and fun stuff like great trips.So when you have money,take off the top 10%,put it aside,save and invest wisely.21.What is the piggy bank strategy?A.Paying 1% income tax at a time.B.Setting a goal before making a travel plan.C.Aiming high even when doing small things.D.Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.22.Why did the writer's parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?A.To delight him with the latest fashion.B.To encourage him to climb mountains.C.To help him form the habit of saving.D.To teach him English pronunciation.23.What does the underlined word"something"(Paragraph 3)most probably refer to?A.MoneyB.GiftsC.Financial successD.Good luck24.The last paragraph talks aboutA.the seriousness of educating childrenB.the enjoyment of taking a great tripC.the importance of managing moneyD.the difficulty of starting a business.12.(6分)Students who date in middle school have significantly worse study skills.They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates,according to a new research from the University of Georgia."Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence,but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships,"said Pamela Orpinas,study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven﹣year period from 6th to 12th grade.Each year,the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors,including the use of drugs and alcohol.Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students'academic efforts.He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school,and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers.Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school."At all points in time,teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,"according to the journal article.Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized,finishing homework,working hard and reading assigned chapters."Dating a classmate may have the same emotional effect of dating a co﹣worker,"Orpinas said,"When the couple break up,they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex﹣partner dating someone else.It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract attention from studying.""Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,"Orpinas concluded.25.When doing his study,OrpinasA.followed a group of students of 6th and 12th gradeB.completed a survey and a report each yearC.completed questionnaires about the students'academic effortsD.found that the students'study skills have connection with their frequency of dating 26.Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities ExceptA.being diligentB.being well organizedC.being kind and helpfulD.finishing assigned schoolwork27.Orpinas'attitude towards dating in middle school isA.supportive B.positive C.negative D.indifferent.13.(8分)Motorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves,after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of"melody roads",which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽).They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface.The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are,a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes,and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches"formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody ﹣like tones."There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan﹣one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song.Reports say the system was invented by ShizuoShinoda.He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph,but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound."You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,"wrote one Japanese blogger."Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward,while driving around 12mph[20km/h]has a slow﹣motion effect,making you almost car﹣sick."28.We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on.A.how far the grooves areB.how big the grooves areC.the number of the groovesD.the speed of the car29.The underlined word"optimal"in the passage might meanA.fastest B.possible C.best D.slowest30.In order to hear the music well,you have toA.drive very fastB.drive slowlyC.open the windows wideD.keep the windows closed31.What's the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of MusicB.Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in Japan.14.(8分)Measles (麻疹),which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more,was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine (疫苗).But the disease is making a comeback,caused by a growing anti﹣vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreadingquickly.Already this year,115 measles cases have been reported in the USA,compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small,but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend.When vaccination rates are very high,as they still are in the nation as a whole,everyone is protected.This is called"herd immunity",which protects the people who get hurt easily,including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons,babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in.When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride,immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County,California,where 22 measles cases were reported this month,to Brooklyn,N.Y.,where a 17﹣year﹣old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades,and it is driven by a real but very small risk.Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out (决定不参加)of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten.Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption (豁免),sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now,several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out.But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons.But personal opinions?Not good enough.Everyone enjoys the life﹣saving benefits vaccines provide,but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.32.The first two paragraphs suggest thatA.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC.anti﹣vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD.information about measles spreads quickly33.Herd immunity works well whenA.exemptions are allowedB.the whole neighborhood is involved inC.several vaccines are used togetherD.new regulations are added to the state laws34.What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A.The vaccine opt﹣outs of some people.B.The lack of medical care.C.The features of measles itself.D.The overuse of vaccine.35.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce the idea of exemption.B.To stress the importance of vaccination.C.To discuss methods to cure measles.D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.第二节(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.选项中有两项为多余选项.15.(10分)Tips for Staying SharpIt's not abnormal to feel out of it from time to time or perhaps you're feeling a bit sluggish(迟钝的)when it comes to remembering things.If you're worried about your forgetfulness,try out these five tips to stay sharp.(36)You've probably heard the term"you are what you eat."If you decide to eat sugary foods that are heavy with fats then expect to feel lazy and have no energy.But if you decide to eat

Who invented steam engine and what units could be used to measure the power of engine?The word “horse-power” was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt from a worker’s family made the world fir st widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.1. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. James Watt invented the steam engineB.

He didn't go to school and couldn't read,although he learned all about the forests,streamsand hunting. He could move silently like an Indian leaving no marks. He loved to live alone in the woods where nothing frightened him.When he grew up, he married and tried to settle down on a farm. Ayear later, however, he wasn't satisfied and decided to go into the unknown western lands, crossing the Appalachian Mountains. When he returned after two years, he became famous for his long journey. He brought valuable animal skins and told stories about the Indians.After this, he chose to keep travelling to unknown places. Once helost to the Indians in battle and was taken away. The Indians liked him and became his friends. Daniel Boone died at the age of 86.

Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men . A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68.Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems.

In this passage the author implies that ______A.women are weaker than wen , but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than women第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)Have you ever had a wonderful idea and thought it would make a great invention, but didn’t know what to do next? 16 They will help you make your dreams come true and become a famous inventor.The first thing that you should do is do some research on the Internet to see if anyone else has invented it.

Mr Tulga says, “My grandfather in Turkey told me, 'Nobody is so rich that he can throw away a friend.’ It means that everyone needs friends. Be good to them.

Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly the Persistence of Memory.

济南市2017-2018高二下学期期末英语试卷含答案

山东省济南市2017-2018学年高二年级下学期期末考试英语试卷第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)AAs ever, the Summer Movie Season is full of series and special effects. But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.Book Club (May 18): A great quartet(四人组)of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!Uncle Drew(June29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.Skyscraper (July13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane(起重机)and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.21. Which film can you enjoy this May?A. Book Club.B. Tag.C. Uncle Drew.D. Skyscraper.22. What is strange about Uncle Drew?A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.D. The author cannot wait to see the film.23. Which film is not a comedy?A. Book Club.B. Tag.C. Uncle Drew.D. Skyscraper.【答案】21-23 ABDBHere’s a simple challenge: name a famous inventor. Perhaps Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. Or the pioneer of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. But you might be hard-pressed to name many female inventors, even though women are behind some of the most widely used technologies in the modern world.For example, where would we be without the windscreen wiper? Back on a freezing winter’s day in 1902, Mary Anderson was traveling by tram through New York city. Snow was falling, forcing the driver to stop repeatedly and get out to clear it. Each time the door opened, Mary suffered. She had a brainwave: why not make something that could be operated from inside the vehicle? And that’s exactly what she did.Let’s step in from freezing New York for our next invention. The dishwasher dates back even earlier to the 19th Century, and to the dinner parties thrown by a lady called Josephine Cochrane. As a frequent host, she wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than people. Her response was to develop what was to become the first commercially successful dishwasher.Need something to do while the dishwasher is on? How about a round of Monopoly(强手棋游戏)? One of the most popular board games around, the rules were first drawn up by a lady called Elizabeth Magie, and patented in 1904.To an altogether different kind of innovation: Kevlar is the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof(防弹)vests. The material is used by millions every day and has saved countless lives and is strength-lo-weight ratio is five times higher than steel.Finally, one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century must surely be the computer programme. The world of programming is unbalanced among men and women, with men taking home around 30% more pay than their female partners on average. But back in the 1940s and 50s, women were at the forefront of this new field and Grace Hopper was one of them.24. What do we know about the inventions mentioned in the text?A. They were mostly made in the 20th century.B. They all used high technology.C. Their inventors came from families of good education.D. They were all made by accident.25. Why did Mary Anderson invent windscreen wiper?A. The winter was extremely cold there.B. She was forced to clear the snow by others.C. The car she drove made her suffer a great deal.D. She was sick of the driver getting out to clear the window.26. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the text?A. Josephine Cochrane wanted a machine that operated automatically.B. The game invented by Magie was popular merely among teenagers.C. Kevlar is the super tough fibre and stronger than steel.D. Grace Hopper was good at computer programming.27. What is the best title of this passage?A. Women can be Great InventorsB. The Most Useful Inventions by WomenC. The Most Widely Used TechnologiesD. Women Made Greater Contributions than Men【答案】24-27 ADBACWhat do you call your partner—darling, sweetheart, babe? I have been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish.” No, I’m not a supernat ural, shape-shifting creature or a character in a children’s storybook. I’ve just been in a few relationships where affectionate nicknames appeared as inside jokes.Plenty of my friends have developed nicknames with their romantic partners. I asked the question on Facebook and got all kinds of answers: former boyfriends who knew each other as “Tiger and Teddy.” An American man who dated a Chinese woman told me he called her “Popo”, which means “wife” or “broken broken,” depending on your intonation and she called him “Benben,” which he says means something like “dumb dumb,” referring to his poor mastery of the Chinese language at the time.There seems to be a variety of languages with pet names, too. According to the website of the popular language-learning software Rosetta Stone, the French say “Mon Petit Chou” (my little cabbage or cream puff), the Russians say “Vishenka” (cherry), the Dutch call girlfriends “Dropje” (candy) and in Brazil you can say “Meu Chuchu,” where “chuchu” is a vegetable. In Spain I heard the term “Media Naranja,” meaning half-orange, suggesting that the romantic partners are two halves of the whole.Is there any science behind using pet names? Is it a mark of a healthy relationship, or unhealthy? Are couples who give each other names, ranging from the generic “Honey” and “Sweetie” to the creative “Loopy Lop,” more likely to stay together? And in our digital age, are these nicknames any more important?From what has been studied, and from the experience of several experts, it seems nicknames can be a good thing for a relationship—if both partners are into it.28. Why has the writer been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”?A. Because he looks like a owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”.B. Because he is a supernatural, shape-shifting creature.C. Because nicknames arose as inside jokes in his relationships.D. Because he loves a character in a children’s storybook.29. What did the Chinese woman mean by calling her American boyfriend “Benben”?A. Her boyfriend had a different intonation.B. Her boyfriend had a weak mastery of Chinese.C. She thought the man was very stupid.D. She thought it was a lovely nickname.30. For what purpose do romantic partners in Spain call each other “Media Naranja”?A. To introduce half-orange.B. To show their love for pet names.C. To mean they are both fat.D. To suggest they are two halves of the whole.31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?A. Couples who give each other nicknames are certain to stay together.B. There must be science behind using pet names.C. Partners who enjoy their nicknames can keep healthy relationships.D. Nicknames are no longer important in our digital age.【答案】28-31 CBDCDDriverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67, percent having access to both positive and negative information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020.According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for CulturalInnovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”32. What do we know about the responses of 625 questionnaires?A. More than half of the people surveyed were willing to ride in driverless cars.B. Nearly 90% knew both positive and negative information on cars.C. Unmanned vehicle road tests were hardly supported in the country.D. Few people were concerned about the safety of driverless cars.33. Who should take responsibility if an accident happened to a driverless car?A. The designers of the AI products.B. Both AI products designers and vehicle users.C. Policy makers who regulate the use of driverless cars.D. It hasn’t been decided yet.34. What does the underlined word “autonomous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. high-techB. advancedC. self-directedD. useful35. What do Sun Shaojing’s words s uggest in the last paragraph?A. We should mainly focus on the benefit that driverless cars bring to us.B. Effective policies and rules are needed with appliances fast growing.C. Risks and ethics issues brought up by AI cannot be avoided.D. Driverless cars play a significant role in AI technology.【答案】32-35 ADCB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。

AWealth starts with a goal and saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bank strategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container.Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. If you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something in it.Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger a nd holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins in pygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxons pronounce d pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. As the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. The piggy bank was born.Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.21. What is the piggy bank strategy?A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.B.

They are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use as their single classmates, according to a new research from the University of Georgia."Romantic relationships are a trademark of adolescence, but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas, study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior.Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires about the students’ academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school."At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,” according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters."Dating a classmate may have the same emotional effect of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said, "When the couple break up, they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and distract attention from studying.”“Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school,” Orpinas concluded.25. When doing his study, Orpinas_____.A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th gradeB. completed a survey and a report each yearC. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic effortsD. found that t he students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating26. Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities Except_____.A. being diligentB. being well organizedC. being kind and helpfulD. finishing assigned schoolwork27. Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is _____.A. supportiveB. positiveC. negativeD. indifferentCMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playi ng fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”28. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car29. The underlined word “optimal” in the passage might mean ________.A.fastest B. possible C. best D. slowest30. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. A New Type of MusicB.Melody Roads in JapanC. A Musical Road SurfaceD. A New Invention in JapanDMeasles (麻疹), which once killed 450 children each year and disabled even more, was nearly wiped out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine (疫苗). But the disease is making a comeback, caused by a growing anti-vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly. Already this year, 115 measles cases have been reported in the USA, compared with 189 for all of last year.The numbers might sound small, but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend. When vaccination rates are very high, as they still are in the nation as a whole, everyone is protected. This is called “herd immunity”, which protects the people who get hurt easily, including those who can’t be vaccinated for medical reasons, babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccin e doesn’t work.But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in. When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride, immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger.That’s exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County, California, where 22 measles cases were reported this month, to Brooklyn, N.Y., where a 17-year-old caused an outbreak last year.The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades, and it is driven by a real but very small risk. Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer.Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out (决定不参加) ofwhat are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten. Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption (豁免), sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine.Now, several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out. But no one does enough to limit exemptions.Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons. But personal opinions? Not good enough. Everyone enjoys the life-saving benefits vaccines provide, but they’ll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks.32.The first two paragraphs suggest that ____________.A.a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB.the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC.anti-vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD.information about measles spreads quickly33.Herd immunity works well when ____________.A.exemptions are allowedB.the whole neighborhood is involved inC.several vaccines are used togetherD.new regulations are added to the state laws34.What is the main reason for the comeback of measles?A.The vaccine opt-outs of some people.B.The lack of medical care.C.The features of measles itself.D.The overuse of vaccine.35.What is the purpose of the passage?A.To introduce the idea of exemption.B.To stress the importance of vaccination.C.To discuss methods to cure measles.D.To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment.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。
