2018年长宁区高考英语二模试题II. Grammar and VocabularySection AA Great FriendshipThomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776. Could it have been any other year? TheyJefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madison's reply remind us that friends are friends until death. They also remind us that sometimes a friendship has a bearing on things larger than the friendship itself, for has there ever been a friendship of greater public consequence than this one?po1itical principles and pursuits have been sources of constant happiness to me through that longvindicating to posterity the course that we've pursued for preserving to them, in all their purity, their blessings of self-government, which we had assisted in acquiring for them. If ever the earthgeneral interest and happiness of those committed to it, one which, protected by truth, can neverpillar of support throughout life. Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last affections."harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. 29 they are a source of pleasure to you, what aren’t they not to be to me? We cannot be deprived of the happy consciousness of the pure devotion to the public good with Which we discharge the trust committed to us and I indulgeafter we are gone, whatever of justice may be withheld whilst we are here. "He is kindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed to have changed a lot from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to __31__ himself into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife __32__ me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists he finds it __33__ toproduce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That The V egetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still __34__ light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. Not one of them can tough his style, nor the superb quality of his satire(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and __35__ of character. He can become almost any kind of writer that his peculiarly restless character will __36__.Born in St. Paul, he attended Princeton, served in the Army, wrote his first novel in a training camp, achieved fame and fortune, married a Southern girl, has a child and lives in New York. At heart, he is one of the kindliest of the younger writers. Artistry means a great deal to F. Scott Fizgerald, and into his own best work he __37__ great efforts. He demands this in the work of others, and when he does not find it he criticizes with passionate earnestness. I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelist’s book, to take what must have been hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful __38__.Just what he will write in the future remains __39__. With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be __40__ the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.III. Reading ComprehensionSection AStandards for Schools: Developing Organizational Accountability(绩效) Quality teaching depends on not just teacher’s knowledge and skills but on the environment in which they work. Schools need to offer a coherent curriculum focused on higher-order thinking and performance across subject areas and grades, time for teachers to work __41__ with students to accomplish challenging goals, opportunities for teachers to plan with and learn from one another, and regular occasions to evaluate the outcomes of their __42__.If schools are to become more responsible, they must, like other professional organizations, make evaluation and assessment part of their everyday lives. Just as hospitals have standing committees of staff that meet regularly to look at evaluation data and discuss the __43__ of each aspect of their work – a practice reinforced by their accreditation(评定) requirements, - schools must have regular occasions to examine their practice and effectiveness.As Richard Rothstein and colleagues describe in Grading Education: Getting Accountability Right, school-level accountability can be supported by school __44__, like those common in many other nations, in which trained experts evaluate schools by spending several days visiting classrooms, __45__ samples of student work, and interviewing students about their understanding and their experiences, __46__ looking at objective data such as test scores, graduation rates, and so on. In some cases, principals accompany the inspectors into classrooms and are asked for their own evaluations of the lessons. In this way, the inspectors are able to make __47__ about the instructional and supervisory competence(能力) for principals. As described earlier, inspectors may also play a role in ensuring the __48__ and comparability of school-based assessments (as in England and A ustralia), as well as school’s internal assessment and evaluation process (as in HongKong).In most countries’ inspection systems, schools are rated on the quality of instruction and other services and supports, as well as students’ __49__ and progress o n a wide range of aspects, including and going beyond academic subject areas, such as extra-curricular, personal and social __50__, the acquisition of workplace skills and the __51__ to which students are encouraged to adopt safe practices and a __52__ lifestyle. Schools are rated as to whether they pass inspection, need modest improvements, or require serious intervention(介入), and they receive extensive feedback on what the inspectors both saw and __53__. Reports are publicly posted. Schools requiring intervention are then given more expert __54__ and support, and are placed on a more frequent schedule of visits. Those that persistently fail to pass may be placed under local government control and could be __55__ if they are not improved.41. A. occasionally B. closely C. strictly D. peacefully42. A. challenges B. competence C. curriculum D. practices43. A. effectiveness B. faults C. progress D. requirements44. A. instruction B. protection C. inspection D. consideration45.

Scientists say the orbital debris, better known as space junk, poses an increasing threat to space activities. “ This is a growing environmental problem,” said Nicholas Jonson, the chief scientist and program manager for orbital debris at NASA(美国航空航天局) in Houston, Texas.Johnson and his team have developed a computer model capable of simulating past and future amounts of space junk. The model predicts that even without future rocket or satellitelaunches, the amount of debris in low orbit around Earth will remain steady through 2055, after which it will increase. While current efforts have focused o limiting future space junk, these scientists say removing large pieces of old space junk will soon be necessary.Since the first launch of satellite in 1957, humans have been generating space junk. The U.S. Space Surveillance Network is currently tracking over 13,000 human-made objects larger than ten centimeters in diameter orbiting t he Earth. “Of the 13 000 objects, over 40 percent came from breakups of both spacecraft and rocket bodies,” Johnson sand. In addition, there are hundreds of thousands of smaller objects in space. These include everything from pieces of plastic to bits of paint. Much of this smaller junk has come from exploding rocket stages. Stages are sections of a rocket that have their own fuel or engines.These objects travel at speeds over 35, 000 kilometers an hour. At such high speed, even small junk can tear holes in a spacecraft or disable a satellite by causing electrical shorts that result from clouds of superheated gas.Johnson believes it may be time to think about how to remove junk from space. Previous proposals range from sending up spacecrafts to grab junk and bring it down to using lasers to slow an object's orbit to cause it to fall back to Earth more quickly. Given current technology, those proposals appear neither technically nor economically practical, “Space junk is like any environmental problem. “Johnson admits. “It’s growing. If you don’t deal with it now, it will only become worse, and the solutions in the future are going to be even more costly.”56. What is this passage mainly talking about?A. Advanced technology is used to remove spaces junkB. NASA is responsible for the environmental problem.C. Cleaning up the space junk is greatly neededD. Human activities generate much orbital debris57. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?A. Rocket launches produce more debris than satellite launches Space Tech CultureB. Space junk is endangering human beings' space activitiesC. It's necessary to clean up the large pieces of old space junkD. Even a tiny piece of space junk can destroy a spacecraft58. What does John think of the previous proposals to grab space junk and bring it down to the earth?A. ReasonableB. UnbelievableC. ReliableD. Impractical(B)Eye Scan Technology Comes to SchoolsABC News: Parents who want to pick up their kids at school in one New Jersey district now can submit to iris(虹膜) scans, as the technology that helps keep our nation’s airports and hotels safe begins to make its way further into American lives.this high-tech security system on Monday with funding fromthe Department of Justice as part of a study on the system’seffectiveness.As many as four adults can be authorized to pickup each child in the district, but in order to be authorized tocome into school, they will be asked to register with the district’s iris recognition security and visitor management system. At this point, the New Jersey program is not a must.If someone tries to slip in behind an authorized person, the system causes an alarm and red flashing lights in the front office. The entire process takes just seconds.This kind of technology is already at work in airports around the country like Orlando International Airport, where the program has been in operation since July. It has 12,000 subscribers who pay $79.95 for the convenience of submitting to iris scans rather than going through lengthy security checks.An iris scan is said to be more accurate than a fingerprint because it records 240 unique details—far more than the seven to twenty-four details that are analyzed in fingerprints. The chances of being misidentified by an iris scan are about one in 1.2 million and just one in 1.44 trillion if you scan both eyes.Phil Meara, the Freehold District official, said that although it was expensive, the program would help schools across the country move into a new frontier in child protection. “This is all part of a larger emphasis, here in New Jersey, on school safety,” he said. “We chose this school because we were looking for a typical slightly urban sch ool to launch the system.”Meara applied for a $369,000 grant on behalf of the school district and had the eye scanners installed in two grammar schools and one middle school. So far, 300 of the nearly 1,500 individuals available to pick up a student from school have registered for the eye scan system.59. Why does the Freehold Borough School District adopt the eye scan security system?A. To ensure the school safety and efficiency of picking up children.B. To encourage more students to register in New Jersey urban schools.C. To test the effectiveness of school security and management system.D. To collect the information of the children and their beloved parents.60. What’s the advantage of the eye scan system over fingerprints?A. Having many more subscribers throughout the country.B. Authorizing the adults to pick up children more flexibly.C. Attracting parents in a larger proportion to register for it.D. Making almost no mistakes in identifying the authorized.61. How does Phil Meara help to protect the safety of children?A. By asking people to register with the security system.B. By applying for grant to install eye scanners in schools.C. By asking the department of justice to fund this program.D. By turning to Orlando International Airport for help.62. What is the best title of this passage?A. Parents Favor the Eye Scan SystemB. Security Management Needs Improving.C. High Technology Comes to SchoolD. Iris Scanners are Invented in the Country.(C)Dusty Nash, an angelic-looking blond child of seven, awoke at 5 one recent morning in his Chicago home and began to throw a fit. He cried and kicked. Every muscle in his 50-1b. body flew in violent motion. Finally, after about 30 minutes, Dusty Pulled himself together sufficiently to head downstairs for breakfast. While his mother was busy in the kitchen, the extremely excited child pulled a box of Kix cereal from the cupboard and sat on a chair.But sitting still was not easy this morning. After grabbing some cereal with his hands, he began kicking the box, scattering little round com puffs across the room Next he turned his attention to the TV set, or rather, the table supporting it. The table was covered with a check-board Con-Tact paper, and Dusty began peeling it off. Then he became interested in the spilled cereal and started smashing it into bits.It was only 7:30, and his mother Kyle Nash, who teaches a medical-school course on death and dying, was already feeling half dead from exhaustion. Dusty was to see his doctors that day at 4, and they had asked her not to give the boy the drug he usually takes to control his extreme excitement and attention problems, a condition known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It was going to be a very long day without help from Ritain, a powerful drug which some people take for pleasure, but which they can become addicted to.Karenne Bloomgarden remembers such days all too well The spirited, 43-year-old boss and gym teacher was a disaster as a child growing up in New Jersey. I did very poorly in school \wereconstantly on her case for tough behavior. \They just felt I was being bad---too loud, too physical, too everything \diagnosis\The athletic Bloomgarden managed to get into college, but she admits that she cheated her way to a diploma \she did fine in physically active jobs but was anxious about administrative work. Then, four yeas ago, a doctor put a label on her troubles: ADHD. “It's been such a weigh off my shoulders\says Bloomgarden, who takes both stimulant Ritalin and the antidepressant Zoloft to improve her concentration. “I had 38 years of thinking I was a bad person. Now I'm rewriting the tapes of who I thought I was to who I really am.”63. What does the phrase “throw a fit” in the 1st paragraph probably mean?A. turn oneself around casuallyB. fall down to the ground carelesslyC. lose one's temper suddenlyD. shout and complain loudly64. Why did Dusty Nash mess the room?A. He was reluctant to listen to his motherB. He couldn’t focus on anything f or a whileC. He forgot to take the medicine he usually tookD. He was afraid to see the doctor with his mother.65. The passage is chiefly concerned with _______________A. the visible symptoms of the disease ADHDB. the precise definition of the disease ADHDC. Dusty's experiences in his childhood and collegeD. Karenne's confessing of cheating to get a diploma66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Dusty went to see his private doctor every week in the past years.B. Dusty's mother took care of him till he was admitted to a collegeC. A psychologist examined Karenne and cured her serious disease.D. Karenne didn't know herself well until she was diagnosed with ADHDThe Minoans: A Forgotten PeopleThe first advanced culture in ancient Greece was the Minoan culture. For thousands of years,knowledge of these people survived only in Greek myths. In the late 19th century, archaeologists began to unearth ruins. This inspired Arthur Evans to begin digging on the island of Crete near mainland Greece. On a dig in Kbossos, Evans found an ancient palace. Experts think that it was the palace of King Minos, a central figure in many Greek myths.____67____ With his team, he uncovered a vast structure, varied works of art, and many hieroglyphic records, These finds, together with later finds, comprise all that experts know about Minoan culture.From the evidence experts gathered, it is clear that the Minoans were ahead of their time. The palace at Knossos was five floors high with hundreds of rooms. Buildings throughout the ancient city had plumbing and flush toilets. Stone pavement lined the surfaces of the roads. In addition, the Minoans possessed a highly developed naval fleet for long-distance trade. ____68_____ These records confirm the central role of commerce in culture.Expert analysis of the evidence also offers insight into some aspects of Minoan society. ____69____ Ruins and artwork suggest that people of all classes enjoyed a high degree of social and gender equality. Religious icons show that Minoans worshiped bulls, the natural world, and many female gods.An unusual feature of Minoans culture was the pursuit of leisure interests. Sport and visual arts were central to Minoan life. Boxing and bull jumping, a sport in which players jumped over live bulls, were popular. Although bull jumping may have served some ritual purpose, experts believe that it was done mostly for fun. Similarly, although some works of art showed political and religious themes, other works served only as pleasant décor(装饰品). ____70_____ The Minoans met their demise after a series of natural disasters. Experts believe that group from the Greek mainland capitalized on these events and looked over the island.IV. Summary WritingThe Conflict of the OrdersThe types of people who served as officials in the Roman government changed over time. These changes stemmed from the attempts of common people to more rights. The struggles became known as the Conflict of the Orders.In the early republic, Romans were divided into two classes of people: patricians and plebeians. Patricians were powerful landowners who controlled the government. As nobles, they inherited their power. Plebeians, who made up most of the population, were mainly farmers and workers. For many years, plebeians had few rights. They could vote, but they were barred from holding most public offices. Plebeians could not even know Roman laws because laws were not written down. In court, a judge stated and applied the law, but only patricians served as judges.Over time, plebeians increased their power through demand and strikes. They gained the right to join the army, hold government office, form their own assembly, and elect leaders. In one of their greatest victories, they forced the government to write down the laws of the Roman Republic. In about 450, B.C. the Romans engraved their laws on tablets called the Twelve Tables. The laws were placed in the Forum, the chief public square, for all to view.The first plebeians were appointed to the government in the late 400s B.C. After 342 B.C., a plebeian always held one of the consul positions. By about 300 B.C. many plebeians had become so powerful and wealthy themselves that they joined with patricians to form the Roman nobility.From that time on, the distinction between patricians and plebeians was not a important. Membership in the nobility was still very important, however, since government officials were not paid a salary, only wealthy nobles could afford to hold office. Thus, the nobles still controlled the republic.V. Translation72. 我们必须尽快适应新环境。

第四部分第一节One possible version:Dear David,Thanks for your letter. The field trip to WuYi Mount National Park leaves a lasting impression on my heart. I experienced a range of emotions -- from the thrill of observing different ecosystems to the awe of studying environmentally - friendly practices in the park. The trip really fuels my curiosity and inspires me to explore the world around us.Memorable as it is, the trip still has some room for improvement. We could gain a deeper understanding of the biodiversity if we can be accompanied by a knowledgeable guide. Also, we students are looking forward to more interactive activities, like nature hikes and educational workshops.Do you have similar experiences? Looking forward to your reply.Yours sincerely,Li Hua 第二节（略）听力部分原文第一节(Text 1)M: Excuse me? I'm afraid I can't eat this steak. It's raw.W: Really? I'll take it back to the kitchen.M: No, I'd like to order something else, please.(Text 2)M: What are you looking for?W: My cell phone. I can't find it anywhere. I had it when I left the football game because I called David on my way to the cafe.W: Did you lose it on the way there?M: Oh no I put it on the table in the cafe and I forgot to pick it up when I left for the office.(Text 3)M: This is the list of the things for the youth-club trip to the coast.W: Looks fine, but we'll need some sports equipment, too.M: Good idea. And we'll need a bus to take everyone there.W:I can phone the bus company this afternoon.(Text 4)W: Hi, Tom. It's Kerry. How are you?M: I'm fine. Hope you're still on for Saturday?W: Ah, well, that's why I was ringing. My parents are coming over on Saturday for dinner. We made the arrangement ages ago, but I forgot. I'm really sorry.We'll have to eat out another night.M: Oh, that's a shame. I'd booked a table at Mario's.(Text 5)M: Now I have collected all your personal information. After I feed it back to the shop manager, we will solve your problem as soon as possible.W: Then when will I get another CD? Could you please tell me the deadline?M: Em I promise the day after tomorrow.W: That's great. I will go to the shop on that day to return the CD and fetch a new one.第二节(Text 6)M: Thank you for taking me camping with you last weekend, Aunt Lizzie.W: It was great, especially when we went swimming. It was too windy to swim in the sea, but the lake was great anyway. Perhaps next time we can try the river.M: Sleeping in a tent was new for me. I was worried about it on the first night, but I soon found out how exciting it was! My brother was very unhappy that he couldn’t come wi th us.W: The campsite was quite big, but it’s a pity there was nowhere to buy food and things. And the showers there were a bit dirty, but OK.(Text 7)W: What did you think of that film adaptation of The Silver Birds?M: Well, the song in it is beauti ful. But if I were the author, I’d be pretty annoyed. Didn’t he take part in writing the screenplay, though? Anyway, I don’t think the message of the book was interpreted correctly.W: Yeah. They make the film because the book’s been a bestseller. But they change the ending so it’s nothing like the original.M: Indeed. I guess they changed it to appeal to the widest audience possible.(Text 8)M: I’ve got this paper due for one of my classes, and my car won’t start. Could you drive me to school?W: Oh, I w ould, but my sister’s got my car. Can you send the paper by email?M: Well, I could, but I don’t have access on my computer here at home.W: You don’t? Someday you’ll have to join the rest of us in the 21st century.M: I know. But what should I do right now?W: I have an idea. First call your professor, and get her email address.M:IthinkIhavethathere.It’************************.W: Cool. Next save your paper on USB stick. Then, bring the USB stick and the email address over here to my place. When you get here, we’ll send the paper from my computer.M: That will be great.(Text 9)M: Good morning. Shake it Off Fitness. How can I help you?W: Hello. A friend of mine saw your advert on Daily News website. She told me that you have the best budget membership in the city. Is that right?M: Oh, yes. If you find a better rate, then we’ll match it. And we don’t have any sign-up fees or cancellation fees.W: That’s useful to know. Umm, what times do you have?M: We open at 5 a.m. and close at midnight.W: Not 24 hours then.M: No. Almost, though!W: OK. Another question: do you have trainers?M: Sure we do. We have many experienced personal trainers. He or she will design an exercise plan and provide the nutrition advice right for you. It costs extra though.W: Hmmm, yeah. Um, OK.M: Listen, here’s a free day pass. Why don’t you drop by and see for yourself? That way you can talk to other members, see the facilities and our trainers.W: OK, I’ll do that. Thanks very much!(Text 10)W: American researchers say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to human health in the United States. They say the dust may contain many small organisms that could be dangerous to some people. Each year, huge storms form in the Sahara desert of Northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods without rain in Africa. From February to April, the dust settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean. More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the state of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. There is probably a link between the dust storms and the higher rates of breathing problems in people in this area.。

I’m just trying to fix it.Text 3W: I can’t find my research essay file anywhe re on here. Did you delete it?M: Of course not. I don’t even know your password. Have you saved a copy anywhere?W: No. I wish I had emailed it to myself. Argh! I did my work on time, but the teacher will never believe that.Text 4M: Do you have a watch, by any chance? My phone battery is dead and I think I’ve missed my train.W: Sorry, I don’t. But I think there’s a big clock by the boarding hall.Text 5M: Oh, no! Where’s little Freddy?W: Johnny forgot to feed him while we were at work. I think he chewed a hole through his box and ran around.M: Don’t tell the landlord we’ve got a mouse in our apartment! Let’s catch him now.Text 6M: Did you see the new student in Miss Foley’s class, Sally? I think she’s from a poor family. W: Poor? Why would you think that?M: She had pieces of cloth on her jeans. I’ll bet she has holes in them, and she can’t afford to buy new ones. Her mom had to sew on the pieces of cloth to fix her old jeans.W: Rusty, you’re a little behind the times.

M: People always say that, but it’s not that hard to keep house plants. What did you do to care for this one?W: That one had a big flower on it, so I put it in the sunlight.M: This is a winter plant from north China. It doesn’t do well in direct sunlight. Just move it here. Didn’t you look up how to care for it when you got it?W: No. I just thought it was pretty, and it was doing OK in the shop.M: And this one here is all yellow. That means you gave it too much water.W: Too much water? I think if it doesn’t need the water, it doesn’t have to drink it.M: That’s not how plants work. I’m afraid the root system under the dirt of this one is destroye d. You’ll have to throw this one away. Look, here’s an app with plant information. Text 9M: Why don’t you have some of my cake, Sue? I made it just for this party.W: Sorry, Bill. I’m not into cake at the moment. I thought you knew about my diet.M: On your birthday? Surely you can eat whatever you want on your birthday. You can start your diet tomorrow. And anyway, you look great.W: Well, thanks, Bill. I am not on a diet to lose weight, actually. My doctor told me to stop eating certain foods. I’m tryin g to avoid being allergic to something.M: I didn’t know food could help with that. I also noticed you didn’t eat any of the sandwiches Jill brought.W: Yeah.

It’s the only thing here I can eat. What I really want is some hot soup.M: Why don’t I go and get some soup from the restaurant across the street for you?W: That’s awfully nice of you, but I’m enjoying my party. Maybe we could go afterwards.M: OK. You go back in the house and chat with the guests, and I’ll call the restaurant and tell them we’ll be there in a few hours.Text 10Thank you for attending this public hearing on our new Severe Weather Warning System. I’m Mayor Dunley. First, I’d like to remind everyone that the main purpose of a weather warning system is to tell people outdoors to move inside. Now, it’s important to remember that we will test the system every Sa turday at noon, so don’t worry about the noise at that time. It’s a good idea to go outside and listen when we test the system and make sure you can hear them in your neighborhood. Remember that the loud noise is only one part of the warning system. The loud noises are activated by city officials after we receive alerts from the national weather service. In other words, you might hear an alert on the national news before you hear the warning here. If you do hear one, what should you do? First, take cover. O ur city doesn’t have public shelters, so go to the inside of any building, away from windows. Second, wait for reports on local media. Finally, stay indoors until you hear the all-clear signal.2018高考仿真卷·英语(一)第一部分听力(共两节,满分30分)(略)第二部分阅读理解(共两节,满分40分)第一节(共15小题; 每小题2分,满分30分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

It was the sight of her son, Justin, dragging a 36-kilogram portable air conditioner upstairs. Beverly’s central air conditioning had stopped working in the middle of a 32℃ heat wave. She had mentioned to her son and he’d shown up as a surprise. As she watched him sweat and struggle while fixing it, she felt a wave of gratitude and appreciation.Awe is that feeling we get when something is so vast that it stops us in our tracks. Often, it challenges or expands our thinking. Research shows that awe experiences decrease stress and increase overall satisfaction. It can also help our relationships, making us feel more sympathetic and less greedy, more supported by and more likely to help others.Most of us associate awe with something rare and beautiful: nature, music or a spiritual experience. But people can bring about awe, and not just public heroes. Often, this interpersonal awe is a response to life’s big, sweeping changes. We can be awed by our nearest and dearest — the people sitting next to us on the sofa, or chatting on the phone. But it happens in smaller moments, too. John Bargh, a psychologist, said he was truly awestruck by his then-five-year-old daughter. When she heard another child crying, she grabbed her toy, walked over to the boy and handed it to him.Unfortunately, we can’t make someone else behave in a way that’s awesome. But we can prepare ourselves to notice it when they do — and take steps to boost the emotion’s positive effects.4．Why does the writer tell Beverly’s story?A．To show sympathy for her.B．To cite an example of awe.C．To express appreciation to her son.D．To start a discussion about awe. 5．What is the benefit of awe?A．It stops our anxiety.B．simplifies our thinking.C．It satisfies regular needs.D．It promotes positive emotions.6．In which situation can we feel awed between the nearest?A．Admiring scenery in a national park.B．Enjoying classic music in a concert hall.C．Receiving a call from a long-lost friend.D．Getting the signature of a famous athlete.7．What can be implied from the last paragraph?A．Arise in time of trouble.B．Behave in an awesome way.C．Sense amazement in daily life.D．Increase chance of finding awe.One summer midnight, standing outside a wooden house in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, I looked up. The sight of thousands of stars was almost enough to make me, a non-believer, offer a word of gratitude up into the star-filled sky. But to whom? Perhaps to Johan Eklof, author of The Darkness Manifesto.A bat scientist, Eklof works in the night shadows in western Sweden. His work requires an absolute kind of darkness unpolluted by light. But this category of darkness is threatened. In the 1980s, Eklof tells readers, two-thirds of the churches in Sweden housed bat caves. Not any longer. “Today, this number has been reduced by a third due to light pollution, because the churches all glow brightly in the night.” he writes.We have all noticed it when driving through any city at night. Empty places are floodlit. The night sky in Hong Kong is 1200 times brighter than an unlit one. Citizens of some large cities, writes Eklof, have never allowed their eyes to adapt to true night vision. But we are only now beginning to understand the effects.Too much light is incredibly destructive to the complex eco-systems many animals inhabit. It scares away the bats that Eklof studies; reef fish eggs go unhatched; birds forget to even sing.So how can we deal with the too much light? In 2019, France passed laws limiting how much light can be sent into the sky. In Vienna, Austria, the city’s lights are turned off at 11 p.m. Some measures, like artificial lights that do not reflect light upward, are already withinour grasp. “We could just turn it all off, but I guess we don’t want to, because darkness is not safe for everyone.” said Eklof in a recent interview. “So it’s vital we find a middle way.”Right now, it’s hard to know what that middle way might look like. In 50 years, every city could be lit by environmentally low-impact lights, or we might have completely forgotten what darkness is — the sky filled with little moons.8．What do we know about Eklofs work?A．It reduces light pollution.B．It focuses on stars and sky.C．It strengthens people’s belief.D．It requires a specific condition. 9．What can replace the underlined “it” in meaning in paragraph 3?A．Darkness.B．An unlit city.C．Floodlighting.D．The night sky.10．What are paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly about regarding light pollution?A．Cause and damage.B．Effect and solution. C．Consequence and disadvantage.D．Analysis and potential.11．What is the writer’s attitude toward lighting management?A．Balanced.B．Negative.C．Unclear.D．Conservative.Feeling a hug from each other via the internet may be a possibility in the near future. A research team led by City University of Hong Kong recently developed a wireless, soft e-skin that can both detect and deliver the sense of touch, and form a touch network allowingone-to-multiuser interaction. It offers great potential for improving the distance touch communication.While there are numerous devices in the market to simulate (模拟) the sense of touch in the virtual world, they provide only touch sensing or touch response. The uniqueness of the novel e-skin is that it can perform self-sensing and touch reproducing functions on the same interface.The e-skin is a 7cm×l0cm, 4.2mm-thick device containing 16 flexible actuators (驱动器), a microcontroller unit, a Bluetooth module, and other electronics on a flexible circuit board. The actuator serves as the core part of the e-skin. Once the actuator is pressed and released by a force, a current is produced to provide electrical signals that are turned into digital signals by a converter (转换器) and then sent to another e-skin via Bluetooth. When the signals are received, a current is caused to reproduce the touch response on the receiver’se-skin through mechanical vibration (振动). The process can be reversed to deliver vibrations from the receiver’s e-skin to the corresponding actuator of the sender’s.The e-skin can communicate with Bluetooth devices and send data through the internet with smartphones and computers to perform long-distance touch, and to form a touch Internet of Things (IoT) system, where one-to-one and one-to-multiple touch delivery could be realized. Friends and family in different places could use it to “feel” each other. This form of touch overcomes the limitations of space and greatly reduces the sense of distance in human communication.Next, the research team will focus on practical applications for people with visual disability, who could wear the e-skin to gain remote directional guidance and read Braille messages.12．What is the unique feature of the e-skin?A．It provides hugs for users.B．It builds a social network.C．It provides touch sensing and copying,D．It monitors the process of self-sensing.13．What does the underlined word “reversed” mean?A．Started.B．Disturbed.C．Completed.D．Exchanged. 14．What can we learn about e-skin?A．It strengthens bonds across distance.B．Its converter vibrates when working.C．It sends electrical signals to receivers.D．Its system delivers touch with phones.15．What would be the best title of the text?A．A signal-sending applicationB．An invention for the disabledC．A device for virtual interactionD．A long distance communication二、七选五the solo (独自) traveling experience is so transforming that it lives with you forever.

2023年届上海市闵行区高三下学期5月二模英语试卷听力
上海市闵行区2023届高三下学期英语质量调研〔二模〕试卷原卷版一、用单词的适当形式完成短文1.D irections: After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets.connected electronically, they are away from physical reality. People(influence) to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted“ was the word most commonly used by people(describe) their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time(resist) the temptation of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. I see people (trap)in a pathological (病态的) relationship with time-consuming technology,they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude(奴役). I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what we need to ask if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about the use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.“it”s time to discover today”s overused technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies,“ To break the grand digital connection, people must consider life long ago could be fantastic without today”s overused technology.二、选用适当的单词或短语补全短文2.D irections: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that then is one word more than you need.A. potentialB. limitlessC. attachedD. initialE. promotionF. appealG. expand H. equal I. recognition J. threaten K. practiceCelebrity (名人) has become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity to any given product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost abandoned the of putting models on the cover because they don”t sell nearly as well as famous faces. As a result, celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market, moving from advertising for others” products to developingtheir o wn.Celebrity clothing lines aren”t a completely new phenomenon, but in the past, they were typically aimed at the ordinary consumers, and limited to a few TV actresses. Today they”re started by first-class stars whose products enjoy fame with some world top brands. The most successful start-ups have been those by celebrities with specific personal style. As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they try to their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.However, for every success story, there”s a related warning tale of a celebrity who overvalued his consumer . No matter how famous the product”s origin is, if it fails to impress consumers with its own qualities, it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to tried-and-true labels.Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover has speeded up as well. Each misstep is likely to to reduce a celebrity”s shelf life, and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem picking him to pieces when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego”s (自我的) potential for expansion is. Having already achieved great wealth and public, many celebrities see fashion as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time, but fashion—like celebrity—has always been temporary.三、完形填空3.完形填空Many things happen when people are ageing. Apart from the greying hair and wrinkled skin, there is a(n)1 change which comes with older age. When humans reach their later years, they favour morelong-term 2 and their social cirele is reduced.Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same 3 in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (猩猩) reveal that older males choose to keep contact with their4friends at the expense of other relationships.The researchers studied 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2023 that followed the social5of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps”6depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated (分类) the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; 7 friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed 8 the other.When the scientists looked at the9 of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another10seen in older humans was also spotted in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of11gradually become less, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to threaten others in their group less often.The observations have left the researchers 12 . According to an idea in psychology known as socio-emotional selectivity theory, older humans prefer more 13 relationships because they are aware that time is running out. However many animal experts argue that chimpanzees14the human sense of mortality (死亡) , suggesting something else is driving the behaviour.Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the15social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined by lack of opportunity. In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, reciprocal (互惠的) relationships with trusted partners, he said.1.

It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth grader, who was threatening to beat him up if he didn”t pay.Most kids have been made fun of by a brother or a friend at some point. And it”s not usually harmful when done i n a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to be stopped.Bullying is intentional torment(熬煎)in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing(讹诈)money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumours about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to make fun of others or hurt their feelings.It”s important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids” sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributedto tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that”s not always the case. Sometimes kids bully others because that”s the way they”ve been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if its happening. （1）What is the author”s purpose of telling Seth”s story?A.T o introduce the topic of bullying.B.T o seek help for the victims of bullying.C.T o analyze the cause of bullying.D.T o display the effects of bullying on kid（2）What does the phrase “brush it off“ (in paragraph 4) probably mean?A.R emove bullying.B.I gnore bullying.C.Avoid bullying.D.Punish bullying.（3）According to the passage, which of the following about bullying is NOT true?A.B ullying is accidental behaviors.B.T hose who bully get emotional satisfaction.C.T he weak are easy to be bullied.D.T he experience of being bullied can lead to bullying.（4）What will the following paragraph most probably talk about?A.P roblems of bullying.B.C ause and effect of bullying.C.Signs of bullying.D.Psychological reasons of bullying.5.阅读理解the online Macmillan Dictionary of the BUZZWORD of the month.Word entry-JOMOJOMO is an acronym (首字母缩略词) standing for the expression , and is simply refers to the gratifying feeling you get when you break away from the〔real or virtual〕activities of your social group and spend time doing exactly what you most want to do.JOMO is often described as a resist against the hyper-connected society we live in, where technology pushes both social and professional activity constantly in our faces, so that it”s virtually impossible to be happily unaware of what everyone else is doing. This often forces us into spending time in ways which we wouldn”t necessarily have chosen. JOMO then, is about stepping off the social fashion and reconnecting with what really makes us happy.Background-JOMOThe concept of JOMO first appeared in 2023, its early use often credited to blogger Anil Dash who, having to withdraw from both on-and offline activity for a period after the birth of his son. realized that he”d enjoyed himself greatly and didn”t feel he”d missed out on anything at all.JOMO is a play on the earlier acronym FOMO, meaning “fear of missing out“, which is used to describe the feeling of anxiety that people experience when they discover, often via social media, that they”ve let go on a social event or other positive experience.The existence of expressions like JOMO suggest that, although we”re unlikely to resist technology completely, the more deeply we immerse〔沉醉〕in it, the more we”re beginning to evaluate its hold onus. Other newly created combined words reflecting this zeitgeist include ringxiety. the constant need to check your phone or mistakenly thinking it”s ringing. nhubbing, the related condition of being impolite in social situations by checking your phone, tablet, etc., and infobesity, continuous addiction to digital information in which affects your ability to concentrate.（1）Which of the following phrases can be put in the blank〔in the 4th line〕?A.J ust Opposite My OpinionB.J oy of Missing OutC.J ump off Mental ObstacleD.J ustify Our Main Objective（2）According to the passage, which of the following is a state of JOMO?A.You are busy with a report, so you don”t have to attend a staff meeting.B.Y ou are not feeling well, so you are allowed to leave the work earlier.C.Y ou received a dinner party invitation, but you preferred to stay home.D.Y ou were tired out after work, but you heard your favorite song on the radio.（3）The word “zeitgeist“ (in the last paragraph) probably refers to .A.a mixed or unfavorable feeling toward technologyB.a trend to use new words related to technologyC.the fear of negative influence of technology on peopleD.the lack of ability to use technology properly6.阅读理解Once upon a time, science fiction was just a style among other styles. There were crime stories, there were horror stories, there was literary fiction, and there was science fiction. But today science themes dominate these other styles. It”s difficult to think of much modern crime, horror or “serious“ fiction that doesn”t involve science. And its not just books. With every second movie and computer game having a sci-fi element, science fiction seems to have controlled our entire entertainment culture. It”s clear that if we want to define science fiction, we should relate it to the role that science plays in our lives.Although some experts have claimed to be able to trace sci-fi back to ancient times, it is more reasonable to find it in initial form in the 19th century, when industrial societies arose. One of the features that set industrial societies apart from other kinds was the increasing part that science played in everyday life. Factories with vast machines turned out huge quantities of goods, which were transported by trains, motor vehicles and ships all over the world. Cities were built on the back of technology, with electricity in homes and hospitals helping everyone to lead healthier, more convenient lives. All of these changes had great effects not only on people”s real lives, but on their imaginative ones.Writers began to describe these changing physical and mental landscapes, eventually giving science fiction a large and devoted fan base of especially young readers, who found that it spoke to their curiosity about the future that science would create.But sci-fiction reflected fears about science more than it did hopes. These typical early science fiction novels might be a UK novel like H. G. Wells” The War of the worlds (1897). With great skill, Wells played upon the fears of technology by imagining Earth under threat by a civilization-that of men from Mars.The science fiction of today expresses the impact of the computing revolution, robotics and our environmental challenges, while it is less concerned with “little green men from Mar“ and other themes of past sci-fiction. Given that science, technology and polities are always intertwined, contemporary science fiction often has a great deal to say about power. Many recent novels-like American Cory Doctorow”s Little Brother (2023)-are concerned with government and security service “conspiracies (阴谋)“ against the people, particularly as the revelations of whistleblowers like Edward Snowden sink in. This can give sci-fi writing a “skeptical (疑心的)“ feel. This underlines one of the features that remains constant between the beginnings of the empire of science fiction and its state today.As then, so now: We want to read about how fearful the future will be, not how it will be a paradise.（1）According to the first paragraph, we know that.A.s cience fiction used to take the leadership in literatureB.h orror story and literary fiction have initiated science fictionC.m odern fiction reflects the influence of science fictionD.s cience fiction is the dominant literature style at present time（2）What caused science fiction to appear in the 19th century?A.T he curiosity of young readers about the future.B.T he changes that the industrial revolution brought about.C.P eople”s stretched imagination affected by their real life.D.P eople”s fears about science rather than hopes.（3）According to the passage, what do we know about the early science fiction?A.I t aroused people”s curiosity of science on daily life.B.I t intensified people”s worries about the social problems.C.I t promoted people”s understanding of the true value of science.D.I t conveyed an atmosphere of imaginary anxieties to people.（4）Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A.D espite the content, the theme of science fiction remains the same.B.T he fear of outer space attack has long been a worry among people of times.C.T he appearance of science fiction has caused misunderstanding among people.D.S cience fiction is weakening government power implemented on people.五、任务型阅读7.任务型阅读Who”s in control of your life? Who”s pulling your strings?We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course. We were brainwashed. We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us. As Oscar Wilde puts it, most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else”s opinions, their lives a mimicry (仿照), their passions a quotation.”So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good. We long for this good feeling like a drug 一we are addicted to it and seek it out wherever we can.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix (成瘾物), we worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.But just as with any drug, there is a price to pay. The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves. The truth is that we cannot control what other people think. People have their own schedule and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they”re more interested in themselves than in you.Everyone has different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time. The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.So how can we take back control?We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within. If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.A.I”s the inner self born in our mind that is keeping us under control.B.Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand.C.As a matter of fact, people sometimes fail to understand who they are and where they are going.D.For the most of us, it”s other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our community.E.I think there”s only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.F. Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to.六、概要写作8.D irections: 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.These days, its not unusual to see middle-aged men collecting Star Wars action figures, office workers wearing Hello Kitty accessories, or celebrities like David Beckham playing with Lego bricks, it”s becoming more and morecommon to see adult taking an interest in toys, comic books and the activities that are traditionally associated with children. This phenomenon has given rise to a new word: kidult.What lies behind the phenomenon? One is about adults” nostalgia (怀旧)for the carefree days of childhood, and this is especially true with today”s fast-paced, stressful lifestyles. Another is about a societal change in recent decades where people are starting families later. As a result, they have more time and money to spend on themselves. Some adults could only window-shop for their dream toys when they were kids, but now they can afford that radio-controlled car or high-priced doll they have always wanted.Society traditionally disapproves of adults who refuse to put aside childhood interests, viewing the refusal as a sign of social immaturity (不成熟) and irresponsibility. Those who agree with this view sometimes claim that kidults are suffering from the pop-psychology concept known as Peter Pan Syndrome, an anomaly (特别) that people remain emotionally at the level of teenagers.From the standpoint of kidults, though, this phenomenon is seen as nothing but harmless fun.

Four interesting books in discount.BMatthew Layton was 20 minutes from home in Sevierville, Tennessee, on a cold November night in 2016 when he got a cell phone call from his mothe r. "The mountain’s on fire,” she screamed, “and Brian’s up there!”Layton’s family owned a dozen rental cabins(小屋) on Shields Mountain, and Layton’s friend and fellow rental-cabin owner, Brian McGee, age 56, was up there trying to put the fire out by himself. Layton, 32, hit the gas. He lived on the mountain too.Layton turned around and headed for a dirt road. He made it about halfway up the steep, winding path before his front-wheel-drive car gave up. He called McGee, who drove down in his pickup so they could fight the fire together.They headed first to Layton’s rental cabins. “I wanted to make sure our guests were gone. They were,” says Layton. At that point, he had a choice: try to save his cabins or rescue people renting other cabins nearby. “On the mountain, you don't have many locals. They’re mostly tourists who don’t know their way around,” he says.Over the next two hours, the two friends drove through the smoky mountain, knocking on doors and leading panicked people to safety. “I know that mountain so well,” Layton says, “I could drive and know exactly where I am just by time traveled.” Thanks to their brave and immediate action, the two helped 14 people out of the danger.Fourteen people died that night in Sevier County. But the fire didn’t take away a single life on Shields Mountain. And though his home and business were destroyed, Layton remains calm. “I wasn’t worried about my loss, not when I saw those families trapped on the mountain,” he says, “I knew I was gonna help them.”24. Where was Layton when the fire broke out?A. V isiting his mother.B. Away from his home.C. Heading for the cabins.D. Driving on a dirt road.25. What can we learn from Para.2-3?A. Layton’s car broke down halfway.B. Brian was in charge of Layton’s cabi ns.C. Layton picked up Brian on the path.D. Brian lived in the mountain alone.26. Why could the two friends rescue the people?A. They put out the fire before it spread.B. They turned to locals for help.C. Layton was familiar with the area.D. Brian gave up his own cabins.27. What did Layton mean in the last paragraph?A. He blamed himself.B. He suffered a lot.C. He was relieved.D. He felt sorry.CIf your friends are happy—turns out you’re m ore likely to be happy too. If your friends are overweight, that too ups the chances you’ll gain weight. Those effects have been shown in studies. And now researchers have identified another seemingly contagious quality: exercise.The researchers analyzed the running activity of more than a million people worldwide who used an exercise tracking device(装置) for five years. And they used weather patterns as a way to randomly examine different parts of that global network.Cities have different weather patterns, Sinan Aral, a computational social scientist at MIT says, this experiment allowed them to ask: Does a rainy day in New York affect running in San Diego? “If the weather in New York causes changes in the running behavior in San Diego, it can really only be happening through the influences of the friends who live between New York and San Diego.”And that is exactly what he and his colleague saw: that the behavior of one city’s runners could indeed affect the behavior of runners in another socially connected city. Women tended to be influenced more by the female runners in their networks. And less active runners tended to influence more active runners to run more, but not so much the other way around.Still, this could be valuable for health professionals. “We have to start thinking about consumers and citizens as networked consumers and citizens. Where they are influenced by and influence their social network in very strong ways, that will change the way a particular intervention(干涉) succeeds or fails.”In other words—if your prescription is more exercise? The doctors might want to write a prescription for your friends and family, too.28. Which does the underlined word “contagious” in Para. 1 mean?A. Affected.B. Excellent.C. Beneficial.D. Different.29. What can we conclude from the experiment?A. Weather changes people’s feelings.B. People’s behaviour affects each other.C. Exercise has something to do with weather.D. P eople’s connection depends on distance.30. What does “this” in Para. 5 refer to?A. Women are easier influenced by male runners.B. People in the same city affect each other more.C. Friends tend to influence each other in exercising.D. A rainy day in one city affects running in another.31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Think twice before running.B. More exercise benefits health.C. Weather patterns affect running behavior.D. Healthy behavior can spread like illness.DMany Americans think of driverless cars as a futuristic technology that will revolutionize travel in cities and along state highways. But recent experiments are proving that autonomous vehicles also have the potential to improve the quality of life for millions of Americans underserved by traditional modes of transportation, such as the elderly and disabled, so long as lawmakers make smart policies that pave the way for innovation.A retirement community in San Jose, Calif. , which has been transformed by a small fleet of driverless taxis, shows the potential of self-driving cars to transform people’s lives. Built by a tech start-up called Voyage, the modified Ford Fusions are currently limited to a two-mile road, but residents are already having the benefits of these autonomous vehicles, which allow them to participate in social activities they would otherwise be unable to enjoy simply because they could not get to them.When the trial run finally expands to 15 miles of road, these residents—whose average age is 76—will also have a convenient and reliable new way to appointments. As these cars continue to serve residents there, it is easy to understand why California is moving to simplify regulations for the industry.In Michigan, forward-thinking policies have the potential to unlock other hidden benefits of autonomous vehicles, especially for those with physical disabilities. The Michigan Disability Rights Coalition has strongly advocated for the development of this technology, saying that it could give people with disabilities greater opportunities in the workforce and enable them to lead more fulfilling, independent lives.Many recognize that autonomous vehicles will be the future of transportation, but it is too often overlooked that this future cannot arrive fast enough for millions of Americans who are forced to depend on others for day-to-day travel. The policymakers should follow the lead of places like California and Michigan, and pass rules and regulations to unlock these hidden benefits of driverless cars.32. Wha t’s the attitude of most American people to the future of autonomous vehicles?A. Curious.B. Doubtful.C. Indifferent.D. Optimistic.33. What is the modified Ford Fusion?A. A kind of autonomous vehicle.B. A fleet of driverless taxis.C. A road for driverless cars.D. A retirement community.34. What are examples in California and Michigan to prove?A. Driverless cars’ disadvantages.B. Governments’ right decisions.C. Benefits to the aged and the disabled.D. The regulations are forward-thinking.35. What does the author attempt to inform us in the last paragraph?A. The benefits of driverless cars have been fully unlocked.B. Regulations should go hand in hand with driverless technology.C. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been widely recognized.D. The weak groups are often overlooked despite technology advances.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。
