AThings to Do with Kids in San FranciscoExploratoriumThe Exploratorium is a 21st-century learning lab. It takes the best part of a hands-on children's museum and mixes it with real science, exploration, and adventure. It is a fun and interesting place or children and adults alike. I would not recommend the Exploratorium for children under age 5.Palace of Fine ArtsThe Palace of Fine Arts is a great place to visit when the weather is nice. The gardens are beautiful and it's fun to walk around and explore. A lot of special events seem to be held here including weddings. The kids really enjoy walking around and taking pictures.San Francisco Cable CarsNo trip to San Francisco would be complete without a ride on a cable car. The best line to pick up is the Hyde line because it is the longest. The best time to go is first thing in the morning because the lines can be long, Another tip is to pick it up mid-line. Or ride another two lines where they won't be as crowded.Boudin Museum Bakery TourThe Boudin Museum Bakery Tour cannot be missed. You may be blown away by the enthusiasm and knowledge of your tour guide, the quality of the museum, hands-on and photography friendly exhibits, and the rich San Francisco history that is a part of Boudin Bakery. Don't miss taking the test to find out what kind of bread you are. It sounds silly but trust me, you'll want to take the quick quiz.1.Which of the following can give kids hands-on science experience?A. Palace of Fine Arts.B. Exploratorium.C. Boudin Museum Bakery Tour.D. San Francisco Cable Cars.2. What do we know about San Francisco Cable Cars?A. Few people like to ride them.B. Their round trips take a short time.C. They are running on three lines.D. They often break down on the way.3. What can visitors do on their Boudin Museum Bakery Tour?A. Learn to be a guide.B. Hold special events.C. Walk around a garden.D. Take an interesting test.BAnimal rescuer and cinematographer Douglas Thorn’s passion for animals began when he was a little kid. "I started rescuing orphaned baby animals, "Thorn says. "And I wanted to be a wildlife cinematographer.When Thron grew up, he did just that, working for shows like Discovery Channels Shark Week, filming the great white sharks off the coast of Santa Cruz, California. But Thron says it was the Paradise Fire in California in 2018 that "pushed" him to do animal rescue activism work, putting his aerial cinematography skills to good use.At the time, Thron was filming a man who was rescuing cats after the fire using an infrared(红外线) hand-held camera. The camera uses heat to detect the animals at night Thron and the man talked about how incredible it would be to put one on a drone(无人机) to detect animals more easily. "The animal's body temperature will glow on the screen and you can pick them out among the bricks and stones, "explains Thron.The first animal Thron ever rescued was a dog in the Bahamas after a category-5 hurricane hit, which wiped out hundreds of houses. Thron tested out putting an infrared scope on a drone and found the dog."The drone really shaves off critical time so that the really badly hurt animals are able to be rescued, "Thron says. Once the scope picks up the "heat signature of an animal", Thron turns a spotlight on the animal and zooms in on it, so he and the rescue crews can go and save the animal.Thron has basically been "going non-stop since then". His TV show, Doug to the Rescue, shows some of his heart-warming animal rescues, including after Hurricane Laura in Louisiana in 2020 and after fires in Northern California and Oregon. Thron also helped rescue koalas after fires damaged parts of Australia in 2020.4. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Researching rare animals B Rescuing homeless animals.C. Becoming a disaster rescuerD. Working as a cinematographer.5. What's Thron's purpose for attaching the infrared camera to the drone?A. To locate an animal quicklyB. To shoot more inviting photos.C. To take animals' body temperature.D. To give warnings of dangers timely.6. What's the fifth paragraph mainly about?A. The difficulties Thron has to overcome.B. The skills Thron will need to operate the drone.C. The way Thron uses the drone to rescue animals.D. The reason why Thron chooses his present job.7. According to the passage, which word can best describe Thron?A. Modest.B. Creative.C. Generous.D. Outgoing.CLike many parents working from home while their kids are learning remotely, we've been looking for creative ways to connect with our children—and nowhere has this been truer than in the kitchen.Kitchen science, as Liz Heinecke, author of Kitchen Science Lab for Kids calls it doesn't require any fancy equipment or ingredients (配料)—and, best of all in the era of remote education, we can combine science lessons with everyday meal preparations. By helping with cooking, kids can engage in lively, project-based lessons. Actually, even the easiest recipes include both simple and complex scientific concepts.Kitchen science isn't just about what we' re cooking: it's also about understanding why It's worth taking the time to figure out how ingredients and temperature interact and why substances behave the way they do. Everyone involved will learn something.For example, we all know oil and water don't mix easily, but we can change this by adding mustard(芥末) to the oil and water to make a salad dressing. This is an opportunity to teach kids about the science of emulsions (乳化).Adding lemon juice to a vegetable stops that vegetable from turning brown: cabbage changes color when you add vinegar to it. Both of those phenomena are the result of chemical reactions. In the classroom, it can be hard to see how scientific concepts will apply outside the lab. But when kids see these concepts play out in the real world, that sparks curiosity and learning."Every time you step into your kitchen to cook, you put science to work. In fact, physics and chemistry come into play whenever you steam, bake, freeze or boil. Thus, every time you step into the kitchen, it's an opportunity for everyone to learn more about science, "Liz Heinecke said.8. What are parents expected to do in the kitchen?A. Ask kids to cook a meal on their ownB. Do science experiments in the kitchen.C. Pay attention to cooking ingredients.D. Combine scientific concepts with recipes.9. What does the fourth paragraph indicate?A. Raw materials are important in the kitchen.B. Procedures to cook dinner must be followed.C. Cooking can inspire kids' interest in studying science.D. Family education is more important than school education.10. What can we learn from Liz Heinecke's words?A. Cooking can benefit both kids and parents.B. Parents need to master different cooking skills.C. Lab experiments can be repeated at home.D. Schools should offer cooking courses.11. What does the author intend to tell us in the text?A. To practice healthy eating habits.B. To learn food science out of the labC. To turn meal preparations into family learning.D. To teach kids some recipes for cooking in the kitchen.DWe've all been there, trying our best to do our bit to help save the planet, when a really essential item that you had to order online arrives in such an unbelievable amount of packaging that it makes you feel like it's an unprepared game of passing the parcel.It's made even worse by the fact that some of the packaging can't be recycled. In fact, 10 million tonnes of packaging waste are produced in the UK every year. A lot of this ends up in landfill, two-thirds of which could have instead been recovered.The good news, however, is that how packaging waste is managed is in for a BIG shake-up in line with the "polluter pays principle". By placing the main point of duty to pay on brand owners, they will be encouraged to choose more sustainable packaging options which are recyclable and reusable as much as possible. Otherwise, they will have to pay higher fees.This is a system known as Extended Producer Responsibility(EPR)—meaning that those who have control over packaging design decisions will be encouraged to do the right thing for the planet at the beginning and consider whathappens at the end of the packaging’s life from the start.What this means is that instead of local authorities picking up the bill for household waste management, companies will have instead to pay for managing your household packaging waste as well as the form businesses, and they will be met with the associated little costs too.And, as an added bonus, the new EPR laws on packaging will also mean that producers are required to put clar mandatory (强制性的) labelling on packaging, for example, this could be “RECYCLE” or “DO NOT RECYCLE”. Of course, we hope that the “DO NOT RECYCLE” category labelling is the minority. It is aimed that by 2030, 78% of packaging will be recycled in the UK.12. What can we know from the first two paragraphs?A. Two-thirds of packaging waste is recycled.B. Over-packaging is often the case in life.C. The quality of goods cannot be guaranteed.D. Online shopping is getting less popular.13. Who will be responsible for paying packaging waste costs according to the law?A. Designers.B. Producers.C. Customers.D. Local authorities.14. What can the EPR laws lead the brand owners to do?A. Pay higher taxes and recycle the packaging waste.B. Put clear labelling on packaging and promote sales.C. Cut packaging waste and improve packaging recycling.D. Follow the packaging design trend and to right things.15. What can be learned about the items ordered online in the future?A. Their labelling on packaging will be simple and generous.B. The majority of their packaging needn’t be recycl ed.C. They will be of high quality and inexpensive.D. They’ll arrive in the right amount of recyclable packaging.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

The study. (22)_________ has yet to be published in a scientific Journal, adds another dimension to scientists(23)________ (grow)understanding of how plants detect and interact with their surroundings.In recent years, it has become very clear that plants are more sensitive than researchers (24)_________ (think). They respond when touched by insects and turn toward sources of light. “Plants are not just robotic stimulus-response devices,” said Frantisek Baluska of the University of Bonn in Germany. “They’re living organisms which have their own problems.”Actually making their suffering hearable, however, is another matter entirely.(25)________(test) that possibility, a team led by Itzhak Khait, a plant scientist at Tel Aviv University in Israel, placed microphones capable of detecting ultrasonic frequencies(超声波频率) four inches from tomato and tobacco plants. The researcher then either stopped watering them or cut their stems.Measuring in the range of 20 to 150 kilohertz (千赫) the researchers found that even happy healthy plants madethe occasional noise. But when cut, tobacco plants emitted (26)_________average of 15 sounds within an hour of being cut, (27)_________tomato plants produced 25 sounds.(28)_______researchers aren’t yet sure how plants produce these sounds, Khait and his colleagues proposed one possibility in their paper (29)____________as water travels through the plants' tubes, air bubbles will form and explode, producing small vibrations.All this “screaming” caused by stress wasn’t in a range detectable by human ears. But organisms that can hear ultrasonic frequencies like mice, bats or perhaps other plants (30)________possibly hear the plants cries from as far away as 15 feet.Section BDirections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.Italians find “Moments of Joy in this Moment of Anxiety”It started with the national anthem. Then came the piano chords, trumpet blasts, violin serenades(小夜曲) and even the clanging of pots and pans--all of it (31)_________from people’s homes, out of windows and from balconies, and resounding across rooftops.Finally, on Saturday afternoon, a nationwide (32)__________of applause broke out for the doctors on the medical front lines fighting the spread of Europe’s worst coronavirus outbreak.Italians remain (33)_________under house arrest as the nation, the European front in the global fight against the coronavirus, has ordered extraordinary restrictions on their movement to prevent infection.But the music and noise erupting over the streets, from people (34)_________in their homes, reflects the spirit, resilience and humor of a nation facing its worst national emergency since the Second World War.To the extent that this is a virus that tries people' s souls, it has also demonstrated the (35)__________of those national characters.In China, patriotic truck drivers risked infection to bring(36)_________needed food to the people of Wuhan, the epicenter of the outbreak. In Iran, videos show doctors in full combat dress and masks dancing to keep (37)_______up. And in Italy, the gestures of gratitude and music ring out above the country’s empty streets, while social media feeds fill with (38)___________, sentimental and humorous web videos.Images of nurses collapsed from exhaustion or their faces bruised(使受瘀伤) from tightly(39)________maskshave also spread across the web in recent days. Parents posted pictures of unicorns and rainbows drawn by young children with the title “It will all be OK.”“We’re Italians, and loving singing is part of our culture,” said Giorgio Albertini, 51, an archaeology professor who clapped from his apartment balcony in the university district of Milan, calling it a way “to feel a community, and to have the (40)_________grief.”Ⅲ Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Making choices is hard. That would be why researcher Moran Cerf has (41)_________it from his life. As a rule, he always chooses the second menu item at a restaurant.This is (42)___________by his research in neuroeconomics(神经经济学)( a somewhat new, divisive field) at Northwestern University. As Business Insider describes, Cerf has extended his ideas which draw on some controversial ideas in psychology, including ego depletion out into a piece of advice that, to (43)_________happiness, people should "build a life that requires (44)________decisions by surrounding themselves with people who possess traits they prefer.On an instinctive level, Cerf’s idea (45)_____________: Many choices people make are the product of social pressures and the inputs of (46)___________people around them. One example Cerf furnishes is that, (47)________consistently ordering the second menu item. he never picks where to eat. Rather, he (48)________his decision to his dining partner which friend he plans to eat with, probably one he trusts and always lets them pick.While it's (49)__________what, if any, scientific principles underlie those pieces of advice, there is no shortage of research showing that choices can sometimes feel more(50)_______than liberating. An example from Quanta poits (假设): If you have a clear love of Snickers(士力架), choosing that over an Almond Joy(杏仁巧克力) or a Milky Way(牛奶巧克力) should be a(51)________. And, as an experiment conducted by neuroscientist Paul Glimcher at NYU shows, most of the time it is, (52)_________you introduce more choices. When the participants were offered three candy bars (Snickers, Milky Way, and Almond Joy) they had no problem picking their favorite, but when they were given the option of one among 20, including Snickers, they would sometimes drift away from their (53)_____. When the choices were taken away in later trials. the participants would wonder what caused them to make such a bad decision.As Quanta details, according to a model called" 'divisive normalization(分裂归一化), which has gained some popularity, the way the brain encodes choices has a lot to do with how it values all its options. So, if you have twothings that are clearly (54)___________, brain areas involved in decision-making fire in a pattern that makes the decision clear. When the choices are comparable. the brain does its best to focus on the distinctions between the two, but more choices (55)_________ that ability out.41. A. relieved B. released C. eliminated D. liberated42. A. influenced B. inherited C. implemented D. informed43. A. maximize B. balance C. cherish D. seek44. A safer B. fewer C. better D. sounder45.

A. after B. before C. when D. until53. A. preference B. struggle C. status D. directionA. impressiveB. insignificantC. uniqueD. distinct55.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One spring day, once the flowers have begun to open, a bee will hover (盘旋)and zip through your yard and dive-bomb your picnic table. While you're thinking about avoiding an attack, that bee is focused on something else entirely: me.A honeybee has about six weeks to live. Today, like most days, her task is to fly as many as three miles from home. stick her long. straw like tongue into a hundred or so flowers. When the bee has had her fill. she’ll fly home. There the bee will deposit what she has got into the mouth of one of her co-workers, who will relay it to another, and so on for about 20 minutes, until the mixture is ready to be placed into the comb. Then she and her 50.000 or so mates will hover in the dark all night every night, flapping their wings to create hot, breezy conditions to remove the waterfrom the mixture. Several sunrises later, they will seal me off in a golden cell of beeswax. In her lifetime, our bee may visit 4,000 flowers, and yet will produce only one-twelfth a tea spoon of me.The average American consumes nearly a pound and a half of me every year, in tea, on toast, and beyond. If I do say so myself, I am a timeless treasure. Literally I never go bad.Unfortunately, my good health is not guaranteed. The problem lies in the growth of industrial agriculture and the use of pest control chemicals, as well as changes in weather patterns, all of which reduce the number of flowers bees have to visit. I’d appreciate your letting your own garden grow just a little wild. My future depends on all of us fostering spring and summers wild flowers, thus helping the bees, who give so much to you, to me without ever asking for anything in return.56. What does “me” refer to in the passage?A. The flower.B. The bee.C. Water. D Honey.57. What is the 2nd paragraph mainly about?A. Bees’ special talent.B. Bees’ hard work.C. Bees’ living environment.D. Bees’ social behavior.58. Which one of the following is true according to the passage?A. A bee will always prioritize attacking picnic lovers.B. Before “me” is sealed off in beeswax, the drying process can take a few nights.C. The lifework of a bee satisfies the average demand of an American consumer annually.D. Bees are more likely to visit those deliberately pest-controlled gardens59. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To appeal for help for honeybees.B. To talk about the history of a treasure.C. To put forward techniques for gardeners.D. To argue against the control of chemicals.(B)Get Your Unlimited Card at Cineworld CinemasEnjoy Unlimited FilmsWatch all the films you want at any Cineworld for just one monthly price.Being an Unlimited card holder gives you access to all the 2D films you canhandle for one monthly price.

If it extends further south overpopulated areas, such as southern Greenland, people would be at increased risk of sunburn. However, on current trends the hole is expected to disappear altogether in a few weeks.Low temperatures in the northern polar regions led to an unusual stable polar vortex(极地漩涡) and the presence of ozone-destroying chemicals such as chlorine(氯)in the atmosphere-from human activities caused the hole to form.“The hole is principally a geophysical curiosity.” said Vincent-Henri Peuch, director of the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. “We monitored unusual dynamic(动态的)conditions, which drive the process of chemical depletion of ozone. Those dynamics allowed for lower temperatures and a more stable vortex than usual over the Arctic, which then triggered the formation of polar stratospheric(平流层的)clouds and the catalytic(催化的) destruction of ozone.”The hole is not related to the Covid-19 shutdowns that have dramatically cut air pollution and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. It is also too early to say whether the unusually stable Arctic polar vortex conditions are linked with the climate crisis, or part of normal stratospheric weather variability.Peuch said there were no direct implications for the climate crisis. Temperatures in the region are already increasing, slowing the depletion of ozone, and the hole will start to recover as polar air mixes with ozone rich air from lower latitudes. The last time similar conditions were observed was in spring 2011.While a hole over the Arctic is a rare event, the much larger hole in the ozone layer over the Antarctic has been a major cause for concern for more than four decades. The production of ozone depleting chemicals has been dramatically reduced, under the1987 Montreal Protocol(蒙特利尔协议), but some sources appear still to be functioning in 2018unauthorized emissions were detected from some areas.New sources of ozone depleting chemicals were not a factor in the hole observed in the Arctic, said Peuch. “However, this is a reminder that one should not take the Montreal Protocol measures for granted and that observations from the ground and from satellites are central to avoid a situation where the ozone destroying chemical level in the stratosphere could increase again.”63. What is the possible meaning of the underlined word “depletion”?A. replacement.B. consumption.C. increase.D. production.64. According to the passage, scientists are concerned about the hole because____________.A. it is expected to be a threat to the mankind.B. the new hole is caused by air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.C. it may encourage further scientific research and environmental awareness.D. it wars us of an oncoming climate crisis.65. What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?A. The hole over the Arctic shares the same causes as the one over the Antarctic.B. Human activities are highly responsible for producing ozone-destroying chemicals.C. The Montreal Protocol has successfully prevented new emissions.D. Some new illegal emissions are to blame for the hole over the Arctic.66. The best title for the passage is probably_________.A. Record-size Hole Opens in Ozone Layer above the Arctic.B Actions Urgently Needed for a New Hole in Ozone Layer.C Environmental Disaster and International Cooperation.D. How a Hole in Ozone Affects our Life on Earth.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.People like to post their selfies(自拍照)on social media. To know more about it, scientists at Syracuse University in New York recently did a research and came up with some surprising findings.People who post selfies and use editing software to make themselves look better show behaviors connected to narcissism, the researchers said. (67)_________Makana Chock, a professor from Syracuse University. said because social media is mostly used by people to share unimportant information about their lives, it is a good place for people to “work towards satisfying their own vanity.” Those “likes” under their Facebook selfies make them feel good.(68)_________Some people feel “peer pressure” to post selfies and some follow the popular belief that if there is no picture of an event or experience. it did not really happen. “Anyway, it shouldn’t be seen as negative. People get sense of satisfaction especially when they get likes. And it does no harm,” Chock said.Other findings from the study include: There are no major differences on how often men and women post selfies and how often they use editing software. (69)_______Chock said posting selfies on social media is not all that different from what people have done for many years. On trips and special events, our parents and grandparents used cameras instead of phones to take photos. They would bring back photos to show friends and family. You had no choice but to look at them. You probably commented about how nice everyone in the photos looked, especially children and the person showing the photos. They were happy to hear your comments. (70)__________On social media, however, people can decide not to look at photos even if they click “like”.TV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage, Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.It's natural to feel the need to control something when everything around you feels out of control, and you feel helpless. When a friend of mine first heard about the coronavirus outbreak. she got down on her hand. and knees and cleaned her kitchen floor. She told me, “My floor wasn’t even dirty, but doing something constructive made me feel in control and that I was holding on to my power, despite the desperate circumstances.”Your most powerful weapon against uncertainty is your perspective because nobody and no situation can take that from you unless you give it away. Your perspective can victimize or empower you. When you look for the upside in a downside situation and figure out what you can control and what you can't, it's easier to accept whatever is beyond your control.高三英语调研测试（试卷参考答案）I Listening ComprehensionSection A1-5 BDBCB6-10 CBCCDSection B11-13 AAC14-16 BAD17-20 ACDCII.

AWith over 2.4 million visitors every year, Cinque Terre is one of the most-visited regions in Italy. Cinque Terreis truly special. The five candy-colored fishing villages of Riomaggiore, Manarola, Comiglia, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare are built into cliffs over the clean and brightly-shining Ligurian Sea. Whether you’re visiting the region for a few days or a few weeks, these are the experiences you should add to your trip pleasure.★Take a scenic hike.It’s easy to visit each of the attractive villages on foot. The most popular hike is the coastal path Sentiero Azzuro.It links all five villages and offers extremely beautiful scenery of the sea, architecture and vineyards(葡萄园). It takes about six hours to go across, with short breaks, but most people are going to stop in the villages for food and swimming.★Eat seafood in a cone(锥形).Dessert lovers might think that Italian ice-cream is the best thing to be served in a cone but make room for seafood cones as well. Thanks to its coastal location, Cinque Terre is full of seafood restaurants.★Get on a boat.If the weather cooperates, take the time to get out on the water. The villages look very beautiful from a boat. The cheapest and easiest way is to jump on the public ferry from one of the villages to the next, but these boats are often crowded. It’s far more relaxing to take a private cruise, which departs from the docks in Riomaggiore, Manarola, Vemazza, and Monterosso al Mare.★Take the train.Cinque Terre’s train system is one of the most scenic in Europe. The high-speed train runs through each of thefive villages every 20 minutes or so. And the whole line is directly on the coast, offering lovely views of the Ligurian Sea and rocky cliffs.1. What is special about the five candy-colored fishing villages?A. Their special location.B. Their long history.C. Their delicious foods.D. Their friendly villagers.2. What is the favorite food for the hikers in the five villages?A. Italian noodles.B. Italian ice-cream.C. Italian wines.D. Seafood cones.3. What is the best way to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious food?A. Taking a private ferry to the villages.B. Walking with short breaks on the coast.C. Taking a scenic hike along the coastal path.D. Taking the train running through the villages.BIt can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language. I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children’s books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age, but then I realized thateveryone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot.As a result, you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this method did not work well for me. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children’s book and at the end of that chapter, highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story. Additionally, a lot of children’s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.4. Why was the author advised to read children’s books?A. She was weak in reading great works.B. She was slow to learn language.C. She liked children’s literature.D. She couldn’t remember any words.5. What can be got from children’s books according to the passage?A. V ocabulary and listening skills.B. Learning methods.C. Words and structures.D. Designing skills.6. What surprised the author while reading children’s books?A. Grasping the context from the pictures.B. Looking up the definitions of words from a dictionary.C. Getting familiar with the plots of the story.D. Understanding the words simply from the context.7. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Reading Children’s BooksB. The Way of Learning LanguagesC. The Method of Using DictionaryD. My Good Reading HabitsCWith self-driving vehicle technology rapidly advancing, many companies are turning to autonomous robots forthe final leg of the delivery process, from the store or local distribution center to the customer. The latest to join the trend is e-commerce giant Amazon. Following a successful eight-month test run in SnohomishCounty, Washington, the company’s Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the capacity to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.To accelerate Scout’s development and bring it nationwide sooner, the company has created several detailed virtual maps of American suburbs and conducted trial deliveries to homes there.Though Amazon has not shown how Scout ensures the delivery is picked up by the right person, it most likelyrequires the customer to apply a unique code, texted to them prior to the delivery, to unlock the store box. Also unclear is the number of deliveries Scout can complete before its battery needs to be recharged. Though the initial tests are being conducted with a human for company, the robot will be autonomous in the future. Its location, however, will be tracked at all times-if someone attempts to steal Scout, Amazon employees will be instantly sensed.However, the eco-friendly robots are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reachconsumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get resolved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to achieve the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8.What are many companies developing autonomous robots for?A. Final tests.B. The so-called last mile.C. Robots’ safety.D. Delivery speed.9.What can we infer about Scout from paragraph 2?A. It looks like a cooler.B. It adjusts its speed accordingly.C. Its sensors play a key role.D. It will be widely used soon.10.What does the underlined phrase "prior to" in paragraph 4 mean?A. beforeB. afterC. in front ofD. due to11.From which is the text probably taken?A. A biology textbook.B. A health magazine.C. A newspaper.D. A travel brochure.DWood has many great characteristics that make it the perfect building material. It is cheap, durable(耐用的), easily available, and most importantly, environmentally sustainable. The one thing it is not, is transparent(透明的).Now thanks to a team of scientists at Stockholm’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology, the material may even beable to add that feature to its already impressive list.Lead researcher Dr. Lars Berglund said he was inspired to create the transparent wood after learning how Japanese researchers had developed a see-through paper for use in flexible display screens for electronic devices.The team began by pulling out the wood’s lignin (木质素). The lignin-free wood was then dipped into a polymer(聚合物) and baked at a temperature of 158F for four hours. The result was a hybrid product that was not only stronger and lighter than the original wood but also, almost transparent. The researchers were able to adjust the level of transparency by varying the amount of the polymer injected and also by changing the thickness of the wood.While scientists have previously created a see-through wood for small-scale applications like computer chips,the transparent wood is the first one being considered for large scale applications. The researchers, who revealed their findings in Biomacromolecules on April 11, picture using the transparent wood in buildings to allow for more natural light, or to create windows that let in the desired amount of light without sacrificing privacy.Wood that allows light to pass through could lead to a brighter future for homes and buildings. Berglund also thinks the wood could play a significant role in the design of solar panels. The semi-transparent material would be able to keep light longer and give it more time to interact with the conductor, thus resulting in better solar efficiency.Additionally, substituting the currently used glass with this new product would help solar energy manufacturersimprove their carbon footprint and lower the cost. They are now experimenting with ways to scale up the manufacturing process so that the transparent material is cost-effective to make and easy to use.12. What does the underlined part "that feature" in Paragraph 1 refer to?A. Cheapness.B. Durability.C. Sustainability.D. Transparency.13. Which of the following is not the process in which the transparent wood is made?A. Dip the wood into a polymer.B. Reduce the amount of the polymer.C. Make the wood lignin-free.D. Bake the wood for some time.14. What’s the purpose of using the transparent wood in buildings?A. To protect privacy.B. To scale out applications.C. To get more natural light.D. To observe more clearly.15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The bright future of the transparent wood.B. The wood’s role in the design of solar panels.C. The disadvantages of the currently used glass.D. Solar energy manufacturers’ carbon footprint.第二节(共5小题：每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
2020届高考英语专项练习专题二：《阅读理解说明类专练》(含答案)
2020届高三英语专项练习专题二：阅读理解说明类专练第I卷（选择题）（每题2分，共30分）一．阅读理解A（考点17较易）In the United States, it is important to be on time , or punctual , for an appointment , a class, a meeting, etc. However, this may not be true in all countries. An American professor discovered the difference while teaching a class in a Brazilian(巴西的) university. The two-hour class was scheduled to begin at 10 A.M. and end at 12. On the first day , when the professor arrived on time, no one was in the classroom. Many students came after 10:30 A.M. Two students came after 11 A.M. Although all the students greeted the professor as they arrived, few apologized(道歉)for their lateness.Were these students being rude? He decided to study the students’ behavior.The professor talked to American and Brazilian students about lateness in both an informal and a formal situation:at a lunch with a friend and in a university class, respectively.He gave them an example and asked them how they would react, If they had a lunch appointment with a friend,the average American student defined lateness as 19 minutes after the agreed time. On the other hand, the average Brazilian student felt the friend was late after 33 minutes.In an American university, students are expected to arrive at the appointed hour.In contrast, in Brazil,neither the teacher nor the students always arrive at the appointed hour.Classes not only begin at the scheduled time in the United States,but also end at the scheduled time.In the Brazilian class, only a few students left the class at 12:00;many remained past 12:30 to discuss the class and ask more questions.While arriving late may not be very important in Brazil , neither is staying late.1.The word‘punctual’ most probably means________.考点17 易A.leaving soon after classing earlyC.arriving a few minutes lateD.being on time2.Why did the professor study the Brazilian students’ behavior?考点17 易A.He felt puzzled at the students’ being late.B.He felt angry at the students' rudeness.C.He wanted to make the students come on time later.D.He wanted to collect data for one of his studies.3.It can be inferred from the professor’s study of lateness in the informal situation that __________.考点17 易A.American students will become impatient if their friend is five minutes lateB.neither Brazilian nor American students like being late in social gatheringsC.being late in one culture may not be considered so rude in another cultureD.Brazilian students will not come thirty-three minutes after the agreed time4.What is the main idea of this passage?考点17 易A.It is important to be on time for class in the United States.B.The importance of being on time differs among cultures.C.People learn the importance of time only from their own culture.D.Students being late for class should explain the reason to their teacher.B（考点17中难）Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly knit (联系) groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is mere 6,000, which means that half the world's languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction (消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers), Chiapanecoin Mexico (150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia (one, witha question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.5.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?考点17 易A.They developed very fast.B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns.D.They were closely connected.6.Which of the following best explains "dominant" underlined in paragraph 2?考点17 易plex.B.advanced.C.powerful.D.modern.7.What is the main idea of the text?A.New languages will be created.考点17 易B.People's lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages.D.Geography determines language evolution.C（考点17中难）Australia,the last continent,was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century, these nations were less interested in changing it into a colony(殖民地)than in exploring(勘探)it.As in the early history of the United States,it was the English who set up the settlements(新拓展地 ) in Australia.This history and the geography of these two British colonies have some other things in common as well.Australia and the United States are about the same in size,and their western lands are both not rich in soil.It was the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west.However,this westward movement took place more because the English were searching for better land than because the population was increasing.Settlements of the western part of both countries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America in 1849and in Australia two years later.Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common,these are some striking differences as well.The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war.Australia, unlike the United States,was firstly turnedinto a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising.By 1922,for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people,or almost half as many sheep as the people there in the United States.Yet,in spite of these and other main differences, Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.8.Who turned Australia into a colony?考点17 易A.BritainB.Several European countries.C.The United States of America.D.None of the above.9.In the early history of America and Australia,both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that______考点17 易A.the population was increasing rapidly in the eastB.the English thought there might be richer land thereC.gold was discovered thereD.fewer people lived there10.In the early 1920s______考点17 易A.Australia had one fifteenth as many people as sheepB.there were more sheep in Australia than in the United StatesC.the population in Australia was greater than that of the United StatesD.the United States had twice as many sheep as people11.The last sentence in the last paragraph “Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most考点17 中难A.the United States and Australia do not have any main differencesB.the United States and Australia have much more in common than they have with other countriesC.the United States and Australia have nothing in common with the rest of the worldD.in common with the rest of the world, the United States and Australia have a lot of differencesD（考点17易）Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he traveled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade with the Chinese. When they eventually arrived in Beijing, they were warmly welcomed by Kublai Khan, the Yuan Dynasty Emperor. Marco was very clever and could speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve in his court and sent him to so many important tasks across the country.Marco Polo, in turn, was amazed by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was very impressed by Beijing and the Emperor’s Palace, especially the Summer Palace.There were many inventions and developments in China, which were not available in Europe at that time. Marco Polo was amazed to see Chinese people using paper money in markets. In Europe, people paid for goods with gold or silver. He was also confused by the black stones people used to burn for fuel, as he had never seen coal before!After 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco Polo returned to Italy. Unluckily, a local war broke out, and he was caught and put into prison. He met another prisoner who enjoyed listening to his stories about China. The prisoner was an author and he took dictation while listening. Later he wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World, one of the best sellers (畅销书) in Europe.12.Why did Marco Polo and his father travel to China?考点17 易A.To trade with Chinese.B.To draw a map of ChinaC.To write a book about China.D.To make friends with the Chinese.13.Marco Polo was amazed to see Chinese people paying for goods with ______.考点17 易A.goldB.silverC.paper moneyD.black stones14.Who wrote the book The Descriptions of the World?考点17 易A.Kublai KhanB.A prisonerC.Marco PoloD.Marco Polo’s father15.What do you know about Marco Polo from the passage?考点17 易A.He helped his father learn four languages.B.He taught Chinese people how to use coal.C.He became a prisoner in Beijing.D.He served the Emperor for 17 years.第II卷（非选择题）（每题1.5分，共60分）语法填空阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

AFor some of us who long to travel, it can be difficult to find someone to journey with. Friends and family members are tied down in jobs, struggling to save money, and don't always want to go to the same places. The solution, of course, is to go it alone.Melbourne, AustraliaMelbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, which has beautiful beaches as well as busy and lively city life. Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo (单独) travelers go there. Melbourne is incredibly easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!ThailandThailand is great for solo travelers-perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mentality, which promotes equality among the sexes. Thailand is known for its friendly hospitality, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. Overall known for being very cheap, especially in the north, it's a good choice if you want to get away on a budget.BhutanBhutan is one of the most cultural countries in the world. It is also home to the world's highest unclimbed peak,Gangkhar Puensum. The mountain is sacred（神圣的）and entry is only possible on a pre-booked tour,where you are accompanied around by your own personal guide. Plastic bags have been banned in Bhutan since 1999 and in 2004, it became the first country in the world to outlaw tobacco.Costa RicaCosta Rica is a great place if you're looking for adventure, with surfing, volcanoes and other recreational activities. You'll never get a chance to feel lonely because there's an abundance of exciting adventures to experience! Costa Rica has never seen political unrest, class struggles or revolutions commonly associated with other Latin American Countries. What's more, it doesn't have or need an army because it's such a peaceful country.1. Which place is suitable for travelers short of money?A. Melbourne, Australia.B. Thailand.C. Bhutan .D. Costa Rica.2. What can we learn about travelling in Bhutan?A. You can climb the mountain without booking ahead.B. You can prepare some plastic bags for your rubbish.C. You can experience the rich culture there.。

expertise.In the highly reviewed Shakespeare(2007),he raced us through the playwright’s life and works in222pages;A Short History of Nearly Everything(2003)was his624-page analysis of“everything that has happened from the Big Bang to the rise of civilisation”—and it remains the best-selling science book of the21st century so far.Can he make it again with A Really Short Journey Through the Body,which promises us a“head to toe”tour in138pages?In his books for adult readers,Bryson’s success has lain in an ability to turn vast,complex subjects into an easy and pleasant narrative,filled with tiny facts and odd stories.His latest book,which follows his adult title The Body (2020),is aimed at children as young as eight,for whom this proven writing style works well.“No doubt about it,the human body is a truly remarkable thing,”Bryson writes,and it’s the remarkable facts that interest him the most.Did you know that you blink14,000times a day?Or that it takes seven billion billion billion atoms to make you?And that if you formed all your DNA into a single line,it would reach10billion miles across the solar system?Fresh doctors might find some of the entries frustratingly brief.The tongue,for example,receives only a paragraph,while,a chapter,entitled‘Poo and Farts’,is relatively detailed:“In your life,you’ll probably poo the weight of5cars but you’ll have eaten the weight of60.So that’s not a terrible result.”Biology books can be heavy weather;but Bryson’s skill,as ever,is to turn the story of the human body into a thoroughly digestible read.4.What do Bryson’s latest book and The Body(2020)have in common?A.They are easy to read.B.They are both about physics.C.They are intended for adults.D.They are both best-selling books.5.What is the purpose of Paragraph3?A.To analyze the structure of the book.B.To illustrate the attraction of the book.C.To show the scientific value of the book.D.To display the main contents of the book.6.What does the underlined phrase“heavy weather”mean in the last paragraph?A.Packed with facts.B.Weather-related.C.Hard to understand.D.Popular and readable.7.What is the text?A.An introduction to a book.B.An essay on biology.C.A news report on science.D.A biography of a writer.CStrategically adding weak points along microscopic chains called polymers(高分子聚合物)actually makes them harder to tear,researchers report in the June23Science.Polymers are used in car tires,and therefore the findings could help reduce plastic pollution as tires wear down over time.When tires rub against the road,they drop microplastics of rubber and plastic polymers,which pollute waterways and air.Every year,tires release an estimated6million metric tons of these microplastics into environment.Stronger polymers that break apart less easily could limit the amount of particles shed annually.To make such tough materials,Stephen Craig,a chemist at Duke University,and colleagues added molecules called cross-linkers to the polymers.These cross-linkers connected these polymer chains to their many neighbors,and they were specifically designed to break apart easily.At the microscopic scale,the polymers act like a tangle(乱团)of spaghetti with the cross-linkers holding them all together and helping them keep their shape,says Craig’s collaborator Shu Wang,a chemist at MIT.When the team stretched the polymer spaghetti,the individual cross-linkers broke easily, as expected.But the larger tangle material required more force to break than they expected.The secret to the increased toughness lies in the path the tear has to take,Craig says.The tear goes through the easy-to-break cross-linkers rather than through the tougher polymer chains.Each broken connection follows the path of least resistance but avoiding the long polymer chains means breaking many cross-linkers,which requires more stretching force overall.This isn’t the first time researchers have used weak connectors to make polymers stronger.But unlike in similar materials,the increased toughness doesn’t come at the expense of other beneficial properties like stiffness(风度). Craig says he hopes the findings will help extend the lifetimes of car tires and plastics,potentially limiting annual microplastic pollution.8.What benefit does the new material bring?A.It meets the road standard.B.It weakens plastic polymers.C.It releases less microplastics.D.It reduces the cost of car tires.9.What can we know about the tangle material?A.It follows the pattern of spaghetti.B.It is designed to fall apart easily.C.The polymers help keep its shape.D.The larger tangle is harder to break.10.What is the primary factor that contributes to the increased toughness?A.The weakness of the cross-linker.B.The strength of the polymer chains.C.The number of the cross-linkers used.D.The path the tear takes through the material.11.What can we learn about the finding?A.It initially uses weak connectors.B.It sacrifices stiffness for toughness.C.It lengthens the lifespan of car tires.D.It removes annual microplastic pollution.DEver feel disconnected during a stressful event?That could be your brain protecting you.During traumatic(痛苦的)situations,people might experience an unexpected wave of emotional indifference or feel like they’ve separated from reality and are having an out-of-body experience.These symptoms of disconnect describe dissociation,a defense mechanism that separates threatening feelings and ideas from the rest of someone’s mind.But why do our minds sometimes dissociate when we’re experiencing stressful events?Typically,the sympathetic nervous system,which is responsible for our“fight or flight”response,activates when a person is in upcoming physical danger.Mammals,including humans,evolved to have this response,as it pushes them to survive by fighting or escaping from danger.Dissociation is another way the nervous system is ready to respond to trauma when fight or flight appears to be too dangerous or impossible.Dissociation can protect someone in the moment so that they are mentally separated from a situation causing physical pain,emotional pain or both.Oftentimes,victims of abuse report dissociation during the event or having foggy memories of an event after the fact due to dissociation.Nevertheless,problems can arise if people continue to dissociate even once they’re separated from the intense trauma,as opposed to relying on other coping mechanisms,for example,help from a professional.Many people who continue to dissociate often struggle with daily stress,like meeting work deadlines or speaking with peers.Many feel disconnected in their relationships and may find themselves unconcentrated during what used to be usual interactions or tasks.But the goal of addressing long-term dissociation isn’t to do away with it.After all,it can be a useful strategy to help survive a dangerous situation.But memories of the traumatic event are often disruptive and painful,so having some distance from that could mean a better quality of life after the trauma.12.What is the main idea of Paragraph1?A.It defines what dissociation is.B.It emphasizes the value of dissociation.C.It lists different symptoms of disconnect.D.It explains why we experience stressful events.13.How does dissociation work on victims of abuse?A.By erasing their memories.B.By getting rid of their emotional pain.C.By protecting victims from physical pain.D.By distancing the victims mentally from the reality.14.What might happen if people continue to dissociate?A.Failing to focus on tasks.B.Meeting work deadlines.C.Having a better quality of life.D.Relying on other coping mechanisms.15.Which of the following might the author agree with?A.Traumatic events are avoidable.B.Dissociation needs to be handled properly.C.People’s well-being is based on the distance.D.There’re enough coping strategies for traumas.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

The handsome 32-year-old Brazilian, who works in international trade at India’s Vienn a embassy, chooses a popular site, like the historic shopping street, Kaerntner Strasse. There he opens his arms to anyone who wants a hearty embrace(拥抱).He does it because back in 2012, when he was feeling very stressed and anxious during a visit to Paris, a stranger gave him a free hu g. He’s never forgotten how it filled him with unexpected calm and joy.For those who take up his offer, the hug makes them laugh and smile. But sometimes it does more, as when an elderly woman in a tour group stopped and watched him. The group moved on, but she remained and asked, “Can I have a hug?” “Of course you can!” said Thyago who wrapped his arms round her. When they broke their embrace, she kep t holding onto his shoulders and looked into his eyes. “Thank you,” she said. “I can’t remember the last t ime I was hugged this way.”It’s a memory that still makes Thyago emotional. “It was a really powerful moment of human con nection. It’s why I keep doing it.”Of our five senses, our sense of touch is the one that is most easily taken for granted. “A child can be born blind or deaf andthey will grow up just fine,” says David J Linden, author of Touch: The Science of Hand, Hea rt, and Mind. “Yet if a baby is lacking in loving social touch for the first two years of life, then all sorts of disasters unfold.” That’s one reason why when babies are born, they are now usually placed on their mother’s skin.Linden says however you do it, “maximizing touch in your life is a good thing”—whether holding hands, petting a dog, going to the hairdresser, hugging our kids, our partners or evena stranger.4. Why did Thyago Ohana offer free hugs to strangers?A. He longed for calm and joy.B. He felt stressed and upset.C. He wanted others to feel connected and cared.D.

Offering hugs is the best way to get social touch.C. Blind kids will be cured as long as they get enough social touch.D. Many problems can be tracked back to babyhood short of social touch.7. Where is this text most likely from?A. A health magazine.B. A research paper.C. A guide book.D. A biology textbook.4-7 CBDACIt has been a year since I first saw UBTech’s Walker robot at CES 2019. I was blown away by its ability to perform many tasks.A year later, it had come a long way, gaining much better motor skills and the ability to maintain balance. During a CES 2020 demo(演示), UBTech showed how far Walker had come. The robot walked over to a table, picked up a bottle opener and used it to remove the cap from a bottle of soda. It picked up the bottle and a glass and poured the liquid in, without spilling. During the demo, Walker also performed a number of serious Yoga(瑜伽) poses, including standing on one foot and leaning back.UBTech said that the ability to pour drinks required visual servo(伺服系统) technology using its cameras to judge the position of objects. The same methods allowed Walker to uncap a marker and draw a picture of a flower on a piece of paper at another point in the demo.All of the betterment was made via software as UBTech hasn’t made any physical adjustments to the robot since we saw it last year. On the inside, the robot uses a combination of a few different operating systems on these internal PCs, including Ubuntu, ROS and Android. Its battery promises up to 2 hours battery life after a 2-hour charge time.UBTech continues development on this pioneering robot, but doesn’t have public launch date. The company istargeting Walker toward the home, with an emphasis on helping seniors or just doing house cleaning. To make it stable enough to adapt to all these different conditions is a hugechallenge. However, if development of Walker continues, this robot could eventually be a game-changer.8. How did the author feel when first seeing the robot?A. Amazed.B. Proud.C. Awkward.D. Disappointed.9. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The demos of CES 2019.B. The improvements of the robot.C. The robot’s motor ability.D. The robot’s ability to re main steady.10. What enables the robot to draw pictures?A. The cap of the marker.B. The ability to pour drinks.C. The using of more cameras.D. The system of position judging.11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?A. The robot is stable enough to help the old.B. The robot has been available to the public.C. Our life could be greatly influenced by the robot.D. The basic concept of robot making will be changed.8-11 ABDCDTo deal with a changing world, we have to change as well. Transforming land into farms removes forests and worsens climate change. But we need to grow more food to support a growing global population. What can we do？Scientists have discovered that plants grow best under a certain type of light, which can be provided by red and blue LEDs.The combination of these lights at the right level makes a space look pink. Since “pinkhouses” supply their own light, they don’t need to have fragile glass walls and ceilings. And they can be set up anywhere, including places that don’t get the amount of light greenhouses need.Since pinkhouses can pack food in huge columns, one of these farms doesn’t need a lot of land. Farmers can set up pinkhouses in cities. They completely control temperature and light, which can help some plants grow twice as well in pinkhouses as they do in traditional farming. Pinkhouses can allow for many more harvests per year since farming doesn’t have to stop in the winter.Even though pinkhouses are a great way to grow crops, lighting and heating an indoor space is very expensive. It doesn’t make sense to grow foods that take up a lot of space or that we need to grow lots of, like wheat, rice, and corn, in a pinkhouse. We will still need to grow those crops in fields. We can start farming smarter.Farmers will use satellite imagery to figure out exactly where to plant each crop. Think of a mixture of just the right crops, rather than a rectangle(长方形) of one type of plant. Sensors in the fields will measure the soil’s waterlevel, temperature, and chemical content. They will even be able to detect insects and send out notifications to a smart phone app. Irrigation systems will be tied to weather forecasting programs, allowing very precise watering and care, all calculated to get the best plant growth and yield.12. From the text, we know that the pinkhouse ________.A. covers lots of spaceB. needs enough sunlightC. is made of glass or plasticD. can make plants grow larger13. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4?A. Summarize the previous paragraphs.B. Emphasize the advantage of pinkhouses.C. Introduce a new topic of the discussion.D. Add some background information.14. What is the result of the smart farming?A. Farmers will have a better harvest.B. Farmers can grow different plants.C. Fa rmers needn’t care about the weather.D. Plants can protect themselves against insects.15. What’s the best title for the text?A. Building PinkhousesB. Feeding the FutureC. Changing the WorldD. Getting Outdoor Farming Smart12-15 DCAB第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ASome books to look forward to in2024The first few months of2024are piled with exciting and interesting reads.If you're looking to get a jump ahead on the holds from your local library,here are just a few books we're looking forward to.James by Percival EverettCelebrated author Percival Everett gives us Huckleberry Finn from Jim's point of view.It's far from a straight

Hoyin,a16-year-old student at Hong Kong International School,has devoted the past seven years to writing fiction.He has already published two novels,and a third is on the way.Sau's journey as a writer began in the4th grade when he started a school“passion project”,leading him to create his first novel Pym.This story follows Luke Connors,an ordinary boy who grew into a brave fighter against evil.Sau's fiction evolved with his own personal growth.At the age of13,he created Pyro2.a story when Connors faces challenges that mirror Sau's struggles with math.“I tried to overcome these challenges on my own at first hut finally found that I need to seek the aid of others,”he said.In the novel,Connors learns that in moments of great challenges.seeking help from those around him is a test ament（证明）to growth.Currently,Sun is working on Pyro3,a project enriched by his global travels and diverse cultural experiences.“I treat writing as a way to record my life and express myself.It also helps me to think deeply about various issues,”he said.Sau spends two to three hours on weekends on his writing and around two hour d daily during breaks.To practice his skills,Sau also joined a literary club at school,exchanging insights into his fiction with his peers.“In arts and literature class,our teacher also nurtures（培养）our creativity by teaching creative poetry.”Sau added.For instance,inspired by the English language poem Show With Buddha he learned in class,he wrote Playing Saxophone With the Statue of Liberty in d imagined the statue dropped her torch or a moment,playing jour while thinking about whether the truths of American liberty are really held or not.Sau also shares his essays and poetry on his personal website and takes part in writing competitions.This summer,he won the Harbinger Prize awarded by Harbingers'Magazine,a weekly journal in the US.Next year,Sau will start university and is resolute in his decision to major in literature.“For

against EvilC.A Teen Writer's Dream:Sau Hoyin's Quest for FameD.A Popular Blogger's Rise:Luke Connor's Journey to SuccessCWe breathe,eat and drink tiny particles of plastic.But are these in the body harmless.dangerous or somewhere in between?A small study published on Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine raises more questions than it answers about how these hits might affect the heart.The study involved257people who had surgery to clear blocked blood vessels in their ing two methods,researchers found evidence of plastics-mostly invisible nanoplastics—in150patients and no evidence of plastics in107patients.They followed these people for three years.During that time,30or20%of those with plastics had a heart attack,stroke or died from any cause,compared to8or about8%of those with no evidence of plastics.The researchers also found more evidence of inflammation（炎症）in the people with the plastic bits in their blood vessels.Inflammation is the body's response to injury and is thought to raise the risk of heart attacks and stroke.“I hope that the alarming message will raise the consciousness of citizens,especially governments,to finally become aware of the importance of the health of our planet.”said Dr.Raffaele Marfella of the University of Campania in Italy.Nevertheless,the study was very small and looked only at people with narrowed arteries（动脉）,who were already at risk for heart attack and stroke.The patients with the plastics had more heart disease,diabetes and high cholesterol（胆固醇）than the patients without plastics.They were more likely to be men and more likely to be smokers.The researchers tried to adjust for these risk factors during their statistical analysis,but they may have missed important differences between the groups that could account for the results.This kind of study cannot prove that the plastics caused their problems.“More research is needed and it is the first report suggesting a connection between microplastics and nanoplastics with disease in humans,”said Dr.Philip Landrigan of Boston College.Other scientists have found plastic bits in the lungs,liver,blood,and breast milk,“It does not prove cause and effect,but it suggests cause and effect,”he said,“And it needs urgently to be either confirmed or disproven（反驳）by other studies done by other investigators in other populations.”8.What did the study find about the plastics in blood?A.They are visible and detectable.B.They may raise the risk of serious injuries.C.They need to be removed by surgery.D.They may account for a higher rate of heart attacks.9.What did Raffaele Marfella suggest?A.Immediate action should be taken by government.B.Alarming message should be spread widely and quickly.C.The awareness of the harm of plastic bits should be enhanced.D.Joint efforts must be made to keep healthy physically and mentally.10.What does paragraph5mainly talk about regarding the study?A.Limitations.B.Advantages.C.Causes.D.Effects.11.What did Dr.Philip Landrigan think of the study?A.Helpful but unrealistic.B.Pioneering but impractical.C.Distinctive but unnecessary.D.Suggestive but inconclusive.DImagine a bus y restaurant:dishes clattering,music playing and people talking loudly.It's a wonder that anyone in that environment can focus enough.In an earlier study.researchers established that people can separately control how much they focus（by enhancing relevant information）and how much they filter（by tuning out distraction）.Recently,Neuroscientist Ritz compared the process to muscle coordination（协调）in his study:“In the same way that we bring together more than50muscles to perform a physical task like using chopsticks,our study found we can coordinate different forms of attention in order to perform brain activities.”To explore this,Ritz administered a cognitive task to participants while measuring their brain activity. Participants saw a mass of green and purple dots moving left and right.The tasks involved distinguishing between the movement and colors of the dots.For example,participants in one exercise had to select which color was in the majority for the rapidly moving dots with purple and green percentages close to50/50.“You can regard the intraparietal sulcus（脑顶内沟）as a radio dial with two knobs.one for focusing and one for filtering,”Ritz said,“When the anterior cingulate cortex（前扣带皮层）recognizes that,for instance,motion is making the task more difficult,it directs the intraparietal sulcus to adjust the filtering knob to reduce the sensitivity to motion and might also direct the intraparetal sulcus to adjust the focusing knob to increase the sensitivity to color. Now the relevant brain regions are less sensitive to motion and more sensitive to the color,so the participant can make better selection.Nowadays,much is still being explored about attention coordination.A partnership with scientists at Brown University is investigating focus and-filter strategies in patients with treatment-resistant depression;one study co-led by Rita and Brown Ph,D.students examines the impact of financial rewards and penalties（处罚）on focus -and-filter strategies.“We all know there is still a considerable journey ahead.”Ritz said.12.What is the main focus of the new study?A.The process behind brain activities in humans.B.The relationship between mental state and attention.C.The mechanism of focusing and filtering coordination.D.The impart of noisy environment on humans attention.13.What role does the dots'movement play in the task?A.A distractor for participants.B.A tracking target for the test.C.A main factor to evaluate the task.D.A warning for participants to focus.14.What does the underlined word“it”in paragraph4refer to?A.The focusing knob.B.The intraparietal sulcus.C.The filtering knob.D.The anterior cingulate cortes.15.What can we infer from the last paragraph?A.There are some challenges of the attention research.B.Ongoing research projects are based on these findings.C.Focus-and-filter strategies can solve depression problems.D.Motivation ways to drive attention are well applied in treatment.第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文。

She is a co-author of the research study. The researchers watched as some Capuchin monkeys 65 (give) more food than others. They found that monkeys getting the 66 (small) share pulled a rope to fold up a table holding the other monkey's bigger share.Another lead researcher, Laurie Santas, 67 (explain) over email, "I think what we can conclude about humans is that some of our more embarrassing tendencies have relatively deep 68 (root)." Santos said the spiteful response was not present with another member of the ape species— chimpanzees(黑猩猩).An earlier study, she said. showed chimpanzees would fold up the table of other chimpanzees 69 (steal) food from them. But they would not punish chimpanzees who just happened 70 (have) more food, Santos said. In other words, it was fine if another chimpanzee had more food as long as they did not steal it. 第二节61. than 62 . that / which/ who 63.of 64.

In a garden filled with flowers and beds bursting with vegetables and herbs, nearly a dozen teenagers are harvesting vegetables for the weekend's farmers market.Roshawn Little is going into her junior year at Eastern, and has been working in this garden for three years now. During the summer, Little gets paid to work Tuesday through Saturday from 9 a. m. until 2 p. m. with City Blossoms, a nonprofit that brings community gardens to schools in urban areas. She believes that working in the garden has taught her to try all sorts of new things, like eating different kinds of vegetables more often. And she's taken those healthy behaviors home with her and her eating habits have encouraged her family to buy more fruits and vegetables.City Blossoms is one of many groups across the country teaming up with local communities to build school gardens, like the one at Eastern. It works with schools to create learning gardens and trains teachers on how to use them to get students engaged and boost academics. These gardens are really outdoor classrooms. For example, the gardens can be used for math lessons, like calculating the area of a plant bed or learning the science of how plants grow.For the students, the experience can be a nutritional eye-opener, which has totally changed their perceptions of where food comes from, and what it takes to produce food. Partner schools have also seen a 12 to 15 percent increase in the number of students passing standardized tests and 94 percent of teachers reported seeing increased engagement from their students, according to an independent evaluation conducted by PEER Associates.4. What does Roshawn Little think of the summer outdoor activity?A, It is a good way to earn pocket money.B. It has improved her family relationship.C. It contributes to her healthy eating habit.D. It is helpful to her academic performance.5. What, is the purpose of the school gardens?.A. To provide a creative way of learning；B. To-promote teachers1 teaching skills.G. To get students interested in science.D. To invite students to care for plants.6. What does the last paragraph focus on about the project of City Blossoms?A. Its strategies.B. Its outcomes.C. Its operations.D. Its participants.7. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. City Blossoms：Team up with Local Community TeachersB. Happy Holiday, Sweet memory：How Kids Enjoy the HarvestC. Outdoor Classrooms：Get out for the Weekend's Farmers MarketD. Healthy Eaters, Strong Minds：What School Gardens Teach KidsCThe. production and distribution of food accounts for around a third of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions（排放）.But as a consumer? it's difficult to measure the climate impact of what you eat.A Dublin-based startup called Evocco could soon make it much easier. It lets users track and improve the climate impact of your food purchases. Users simply photograph their grocery receipts using the Evocco app, which identifies the food products by reading the printed text and usingmachine learning. It then calculates the carbon footprint based on the store's location and by checking the type, weight and origin o£ a food against a database. The database is maintained by Eaternity, a life cycle assessment company based in Switzerland. If the receipt doesn't contain enough data on a product, it will give an estimate based on similar products and reference points.The app is available for free on iOS and Android devices, which has been downloaded more than 1,000 times since its launch at the end of last year. As well as the personal shopping app —which Evocco hopes to launch in the United States by the end of this year -- the company is developing a digital tool to sell to food storekeepers, e-commerce platforms and delivery apps that will track the climate impact of a product's journey through the supply chain. The aim is to help storekeepers provide climate impact information directly to consumers, and more importantly, to give Evocco access to product data to improve its app.The Evocco app is not the only app looking to reach this climate-conscious market. There's Capture, which estimates monthly CO2emissions by asking users a series of questions on diet, transport and other factors, as well as Yayzy and My Carbon Action, which link to a user's bank account, calculating their footprint from trade.8. What is the Evocco app designed to do?A. Confirm the origin of food products.B. Work out the climate effect of food.C. Collect varieties of grocery receipts.D. Monitor customers' shopping practices.9. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The product.B. The receipt.C. Evocco.D. Eaternity.10. What do we know about the company Evocco from Paragraph 3?A. It profits a great deal from its app.B. It has launched its app in America.C. It is trying to get its app improved.D. It prefers to sell its app to storekeepers.,11. What does the last paragraph imply?.A. The Evocco app is still far from satisfactory.B. Smart tools make tracking carbon footprint easier.C. Present digital markets should be strictly restrictedD. Environmental awareness boosts food industry rapidly.DAbout seven years ago, Kristin and Josh Mohagen were honeymooning in Napa Valley in California, when they smelled something surprising in their glasses of wine；green pepper. It was explained that the grapes in that bottle had ripened on a hillside alongside a field of green peppers. "That was my first experience with terroir , " Josh Mohagen says.It made an impression. Inspired by their time in Napa, the Mohagens returned home and launched a chocolate business based on the principle of terroir , often defined as "sense of place”.The definition of terroir is somewhat fluid. Wine enthusiasts use the French term to describe the environmental conditions in which a grape is grown that give a wine its unique taste and smell. The soil, climate and even the orientation（朝向）of a hillside or the company of neighboring plants, and insects play a role. Some experts expand terroir to include specific cultural practices for growing and processing grapes that could also influence taste.The idea of terroir is quite old. In the Middle Ages, the wine-makers in Burgundy, France, divided the countryside into different climate areas, according to differences in the landscape that seemed to translate into unique wine characteristics. Wines produced around the village of Gearey-Chambertin, for example, “are famous for being fuller-bodied, powerful arid more tannic than most," says Joe Quinn, wine director of The Red Hen, a restaurant in Washington, D. C. "In contrast, the wines from the village of Chambolle- Musigny, just a few miles south, are widely considered to be more fine, delicate and light- bodied.”A recent wave of scientific research suggests that the environment and production practices can, in fact, produce a chemical or microbial （微生物的）signature so distinctive that scientists can use the signature to trace food back to its origin. And in some cases, these techniques are beginning to offer clues on how terroir can shape the smell and taste of food and drinks.12. What impressed the Mohagens most during their stay in Napa?A. The smell from the wine.B. The field of green peppers.C. The scenery of Napa Valley.D. The ripe grapes on a hillside.13 What does the underlined word “fluid" in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Impractical.B. Specific.C. Uncertain.D. Conventional.14. Why did the author quote a wine director in Paragraph 4?A. To demonstrate the effect of terroir.B. To introduce two types of grape wine.C. To prove the long history of terroir.D. To get a restaurant known to the public.25. What can be learned about terroir from the text?A. Its research is of little benefit.B. It gives food its unique features.C. Its value needs to be further tested.D. It is a newly-acknowledged concept.第二节（共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。

B My kids lifted the Christmas ornaments (饰品) out of a wooden box in Gee’s living room. They were so happy and excited to see tiny stuffed cats and cartoon characters. Gee stood beside them, quietly explaining each treasure. She told me that she and Tom built their Christmas ornament collection piece by piece each year. She smiled as we left with the box, because her precious heirlooms, gathered over a life time, had found a new home. We first met Tom and Gee in the early days of our marriage. Someone had been returning our garbage cans to the garage each garbage day, and Jim and I had wondered who. Then one day we spotted him: a man who lived across the street. I baked cookies and left them on a bench outside the garage with a thank-you note. We then found a typed letter from Tom, explaining that he had begun returning cans for people he hardly knew, because neighbors had done this for Gee when he was in hospital. Now he paid it forward by doing the此卷只装订不密封 班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号same for all of us.A few years after we’d moved in, Tom di ed, much to our sorrow. Gee told us she still talked to Tom every day. When we left her house with the precious box, I realized how hard it must be for Gee to part with that box, a piece of Tom.These days, we’re planning a move. The house that seemed so h uge six years ago is filled with furniture, books, toys and, of course, people. We know it’s time to go, but soon realize gaining a third bedroom seems like a bad trade for all we stand to lose.This Christmas, we’ll decorate our tree with Gee and Tom’s ornaments. Maybe I’ll talk to Tom just as Gee still does. Thank you, I’ll say for teaching us what it means to be a neighbor.24. What does the underlined word “heirlooms” in the first paragraph refer to?A.

You can find photos,documents, and films on almost any topic you can imagine. And at , youcan access lectures by artists, scholars, designers, technicians and others.TED began in 1984 as a conference that brought together individuals from thefields of technology, entertainment and design. It was intended to be a one-time eventfocusing on technology and design. The event ended up losing money, and it was six years before the founders tried it again. This time it worked, and since 1990, the TED conference has been an annual event. There are now two held every year, with topics as diverse as music, medicine, and money. Other specialized spin-off conferences address narrower issues.The TED website came from a desire to share the conferences with the world, to “offer free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers,” a s the website puts it. The current version of the site was launched in April 2007, and contains videos of talks given at the TED conferences around the world. The talks are transcribed into hundreds of languages.The TED website is owned by the Sapling Foundation, a non-profit devoted to fostering the spread of great ideas. The Sapling foundation acquired TED in 2001. Since then, it has been focusing on using TED to broadcast ideas that might change the world.TED, of course, isn’t immune to criticism. It’s been called elitist(精英) for its high ticket prices (more than 6,000 dollars total). It’s been accused by a few people of censorship for not publishing their talks. One controversial speaker was upset about being criticized by the conference’s host afterwa rd.The complaints, however, seem to be relatively few for such a large, long-running organization. And accusations of elitism ring hollow when so much is given away for free on TED’s website. Whatever its failings, TED is a source of inspirational information for those who seek it out.28. What is the main topic of the article?A. The case against TED.B. What’s on TED today.C. Pros and cons of .D. What is TED.29. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. The TED conference came after the success of .B. Two TED conferences are now held every year.C. TED talks are available in many languages.D. The Sapling Foundation owns .30. From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that ________.A. it is accepted to all involved that some TED talks might not be publishedB. the host of the conference is one who plays a supportive role to the speakersC. TED is criticized for giving special treatment to the wealthy or powerfulD. the negative comments on TED greatly affects its reputation31. This author probably believes that________.A. TED is elitistB. TED is beneficialC. TED isn’t importantD. TED is the best websiteDLast year in Arizona, 19 firefighters died in an unpredictably fast wildfire. It was the highest firefighter deaths for a single fire since 1933.The same year, Sierra Nevada saw its largest fire ever, which destroyed 402 square miles, and Colorado suffered its most destructive wildfire in state history—nearly 500 homeswere destroyed.Why do there seem to be more fires in more places in recent years？The simple answer is us. First, until the 1980s, we didn't know that fire can be good for ecosystems, so firefighters operated under a policy of fire suppression(抑制). By preventing fires, though, they let underbrush build up in forests, fueling bigger fires later on. Then，the increasing average temperatures are responsible for drier，longer，and more extreme fire seasons. Finally，our cities are spreading into fire-prone(易于着火的) areas.To avoid greater losses，experts first need to fully understand wildfires. Starting this year，a team of engineers，including the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）and the U.S. Forest Service，has been carrying out controlled burns and using the data to build computer models to improve fire predictions. They are also testing new building materials that can withstand wildfire conditions and make for safer homes.We need a system that warns people against danger even before a fire starts. Scientists at NIST recently developed a hazard scale(危险等级) for marking areas most at risk of wildfires. It would predict the severity and destructiveness of a fire in a particular area. It could also inform building criteria for new construction in fire zones and insurance costs. You pay insurance for deciding to live in the path of quakes and hurricanes，after all，so why not fires？The method is tried and true. When general warnings won't do the job，why not use the market to discourage people from doing stupid things like building in fire zones? Without a hazard scale in place, we're just moving into areas that are more and more likely to burn.32. Why does the author mention the data in paragraph 1?A. To describe a disastrous scene.B. To stress the serious situation.C. To prove the scientificity of the method.D. To show the complexity of ecosystems.33. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. The spreading of cities reduces chances of fires.B. The policy of fire suppression proves to be effective.C. Extreme fires are the main result of global warming.D. Wildfires can be necessary part of ecosystems.34. Why do the engineers carry out controlled burns?A. To monitor the forest fires.B. To predict wildfires more accurately.C. To develop new building materials.D. To assess insurance costs.35. What is "a hazard scale" in the text？A. A computer testing model.B. A set of building criteria.C. A fire warning system.D. A fire loss assessment.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。

Now most experts agree there may be as many as 100,000 to 200,000. And they’re reproducing at an alarming rate.The government has to pay to catch and kill the powerful snakes, which can grow to be 20 feet long, as thick as a telephone pole, and weigh over 200 pounds.I’m with Tom Rahill, a python hunter, who has caught over 500 of the snakes over the last decade a nd become known as “the snake whisperer” for his success. As we walk along the river bank, I watch Rahill occasionally push a stick into the thick grass. As he looks for more signs, he tells me his stories and about special living habits of snakes.Suddenl y Rahill shouts, “SNAKE! There, slowly crossing the limestone road, is a Burmese python.” He rushes to the snake. It looks like a five-to-six-footer. Its thick, full belly indicates it must have killed and eaten recently.Expertly, Rahill moves around the snake as it strikes out at him. He then grabs it with one hand firmly behind its head. I grab its tail firmly as the snake tries hard to wrestle itself away from me. Then, just as Rahill predicted, it poops (排便) all over me.My pants are covered with smell y Burmese python poop. But I don’t care. We’ve finally bagged our python. Rahill and I high-five each other. He asks me if I want to keep hunting. I quickly tell him, “Let’s go!” As Rahill puts it, there are a lot more pythons out there.4. Why does the government pay to catch and kill Burmese pythons?A. Because few people dare to catch Burmese pythons.B. Because Burmese pythons break the region’s ecological balance.C. Because Burmese pythons are difficult to catch.D. Because Burmese pythons are dangerous to people.5. What do we know about Tom Rahill?A. He is a licensed python hunter.B. He is good at telling stories.C. He knows how to speak to snakes.D. He caught 500 pythons last year.6. How does the author feel about hunting pythons with Rahill?A. Guilty.B. Disappointed.C. Funny.D. Excited.7. What does the author mainly tell us in this text?A. The dangerous situation of the wildlife in southern Florida.B. The endangered Burmese python in southern Florida.C. An experience of hunting the ecology-threatening Burmese pythons.D. An experienced python hunter —Tom Rahill.CYou’ve probably heard that brick-and-mortar retail (实体零售) is in trouble. Even industry giants are closing hundreds of stores. Given retail’s gradual change t o mobile and e-commerce (电子商务), you may be wondering, “What will retail look like in the future?” Nobody knows. But here are a few things you can expect to see based on current technology.Ultrafast delivery is coming. Today, the normal practice is two-day delivery. But if you’vebeen paying attention, you know that’s changing. In fact, a surprisingly high 25% of consumers said that they would abandon their orders if one-day delivery wasn’t available. Of course, that’s just the beginning. Two-hour delivery is coming in the foreseeable future, and Amazon has already been trying 30-minute delivery.Your kitchen will resupply itself. You won’t have to worry about running out of essentials like coffee, pet food or snacks because your containers will sense stock (库存) levels and replace those items without you having to lift a finger. No more waking up to find your coffee store is empty or last-minute trips to the grocery store because you forgot to buy pet food.Know exactly what’s in stock and where. Have you eve r gone to a store hoping to buy something, only to learn that they were out of stock? A new feature from Google Home allows people to ask Google Assistants to find in-stock products at the closest store. For example: “Google, where can I find the Nintendo Switch console?” An assistant will tell you how many stores have it right then and how close they are. Of course, it isn’t currently available for all stores in all locations, but you can already see a future when it has become standard.Convenience, experience, and options—retail will take on a new look.8. How does the author develop the passage?A. By asking and answering.B. By clarifying and describing.C. By analyzing and commenting.D. By comparing and concluding.9. What can we know from paragraph 2?A. Consumers can’t get their orders in one day now.B. It is possible to deliver goods within two hours in the future.C. The delivery will be in two days in the future.D. Superfast delivery has widely been used now.10. According to the passage, what will happen in the future?A Retail will disappear gradually.B. Industrial giants will rule the whole retail trade.C. Shopping will be more convenient and effective.D. People will ask Google Assistants to purchase goods.11. What’s the best title of the passage?A. What will retail be like in the future?B. How will new technology change the world?C. How will we run the retail trade in the future?D. What benefits will high-tech bring in the future?DScientists have discovered a new material that can hold the key to unlocking the potential of hydrogen-powered(氢动力) vehicles.As the world looks towards a gradual move away from fossil-fuel-powered cars and trucks, greener alternative technologies are being explored, such as electric-battery-powered vehicles. Another “green” technology with great potential is hydrogen power. However, the major obstacles have been the size, complexity, and expense of the fuel systems—until now.An international team of researchers, led by Professor David Antonelli of Lancaster University, has discovered a new material that offers a solution. The new material would be used to make molecular sieves(分子过滤器) within fuel tanks—which can store the hydrogen and work alongside fuel cells in a hydrogen-powered “system”. It makes the des ign of tanks far smaller, cheaper, more convenient and energy-denser than existing hydrogen fuel technologies, and significantly outperform battery-powered vehicles.The cost of manufacturing this new material is so low, and the energy density it can store is so much higher, that the hydrogen fuel cell systems cost five times less than ordinary batteries as well as providing a much longer range—potentially enabling journeys up to around four or five times longer between fill-ups.The new material makes the cooling system unnecessary. This is crucial because it means cooling equipment does not need to be used in vehicles, resulting in systems with the potential to be far more efficient than existing designs.Although vehicles, including cars and heavy goods vehicles, are the most obvious application, this material can also be used in portable devices such as drones or within mobile chargers so people could go on week-long camping trips without having to recharge their devices. It could also be used to run a house or a remote neighborhood off a fuel cell.12. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. Fossil fuel will soon run out.B. It is impossible to conserve fossil fuel.C. Electric cars will replace gasoline cars.D. It is not economical to use hydrogen power now.13. Which of the following best explains the underlined word “outperform” in paragraph 3?A. Lose control of.B. Take the place of.C. Be less successful than.D. Perform better than.14. What do we know about the new material?A. It’s too complex to make.B. It simplifies the cooling system.C. It’s cheaper and more efficient.D. It can be used only for vehicles.15. In which section of the Internet can you probably find this text?A. Education.B. Science.C. Life.D.
