宁夏回族自治区某校2021学年-有答案-高二下学期期中考试英语试题
宁夏回族自治区某校2021学年高二下学期期中考试英语试题一、阅读选择1. Books Recommended by TED SpeakersA Mathematician’s Apology by G. H. HardyThis is the best book I know about the sheer beauty of mathematics. Here’s one lovely quote from the book: “A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.”— David Brenner (TED Talk: A new weapon in the fight against superbugs)The Future by Nick MontfortThis is a short read but a great look at some key future thinkers throughout history. Through delightfully written case studies, Montfort makes the argument that the future can be made and not predicted. It’s a must-read for anyone interested in future studies and the role that sci-fi, speculative design and big ideas play in shaping our future relationship with technology.— Raphael Arar (TED Talk: How we can teach computers to make sense of our emotions) Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up by Pa tricia Ryan Madson“We all could use a lesson on how to have fun in business and in life. Madson does a wonderful job providing strategies on how to deal with life’s many challenging situations by drawing from the maxims of improvisational theater.”— Lisa Dyson (TED Talk: A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food)If You Want to Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit by Brenda UelandFor those who know they have something to express, these stressful times can feel a bit hopeless — it may seem impossible to find the time, skill and energy to create. This is one of the most timeless books on how to regain that hope, and it’s also a delightful read, in and of itself.— Sebastian Wernicke (TED Talk: How to use data to make a hit TV show)（1）What is the topic of the talk given by Raphael Arar?A.A new weapon in the fight against superbugs.B.How we can teach computers to make sense of our emotions.C.A forgotten Space Age technology could change how we grow food.D.How to use data to make a hit TV show.（2）Who are advised to read Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up?A.Those interested in mathematics.B.Those interested in future studies.C.Those faced with life’s difficulties.D.Those eager to create books.（3）Which book does Sebastian Wernicke recommend?A.A Mathematician’s Apology.B.The Future.C.Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up.D.If You Want to Write: A Book About Art, Independence and Spirit.2. 第三部分语言知识运用第一节完形填空阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

National GeographicBIvy League schools are considered to be the most prestigious of all colleges in the United States. These schools are primarily located in the Northeastern part of the country. There are eight total colleges that are considered to be Ivy League. These schools are Brown, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Dartmouth, Yale, and Columbia universities and the University of Pennsylvania. Of all institutions of higher learning, these elite schools are considered to be the most outstanding and the most sought-after in terms of acceptance and graduation.The term “Ivy League” came about in 1954 when the NCAA athletic conference for Division I was formed. At the time, the elitism of these schools was really due to their prestige in the realm of sports like basketball. Although the term “Ivy League” was not created until the 1950s, many of these schools were in existence as far back as 1636, when John Harvard became the first benefactor of Harvard University.Although this group of elite schools is considered to be part of one big league of the elite, there have been plenty of internal rivalries over the years. The sports that these colleges play were so popular that some teams began playing games in New York City so spectators could come from far away and watch the games. The popularity of both the athletes who played and the college team rivalries brought in a good deal of attention to the schools as well as revenue from ticket sales. There have also been academic rivalries between schools. Mostly, these rivalries are a matter of opinion in terms of which school has the most honor graduates, which schools offer the most prestigious scholarships, and what famous graduates have come from each school.Each Ivy League college has its own unique accomplishments that make it important. All carry a certain reputation with them, and each school has programs that excel primarily in the medical and law fields, making them some of the most sought-after schools in the world. Their admission process is very selective, which helps the schools ensure that they only accept the best and brightest. Many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools, including recent presidents George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. This prestige leads many to believe that these colleges are only for the wealthy and elite. Often, companies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees, usually preferred by law firms, medical facilities, and large corporations. It has long beencovetedto have earned a degree from an Ivy League school. Today, the Ivy League schools are still excellent in both academia and in sports, and they have left a legacy of higher education with an exceptional trackrecord and reputation to go along with them.4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Ivy League schools were initially famous for their reputation in sports.B. Ivy League schools didn’t come into existence until the 1950s.C. Ivy League schools do not compete with each other within the league.D. Ivy League schools are most popular for their excellence in the medical and law fields.5. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The history of the Ivy LeagueB. The rivalry of the Ivy LeagueC. The accomplishments and cultural impacts of the Ivy LeagueD. The future development of the Ivy League6. Why do many people believe that Ivy League colleges are only for the wealthy and elite?A. Because they are the most sought-after schools in the world.B. Because they have selective admission process to help ensure the quality of their students.C. Because many famous people have graduated from Ivy League schools.D. Because manycompanies look for Ivy League graduates as potential employees.7. What does the underlined word “coveted” in the last paragraph probably mean?A. advocatedB.DesiredC. restrictedD. sponsoredCSome people take their holiday decoration very seriously. And some take it to the next level. The Griffith family in Kenova, West Virginia, is in this camp. They put on a display that shows they’re just filled with Halloween spirit.Each year, this family displays 3,000 pumpkins (南瓜) in front of their home for the Halloween season. Yes, you readthatright. Ric Griffith puts out one jack-o’ -lantern (南瓜灯) for every person who lives in Kenova.Of course he doesn’t do it all on his own. He has a lot of help from his family, and also from members of the community who are super-proud of what has become quite the tourist attraction over the years. More than 30,000 people stop by to see the amazing display, which includes jackⅡo’Ⅱlanterns cut to look like the faces of famous people, animals, cartoon characters, and other creative designs. It’s certainly a must-see as part of the area’s Ceredo-Kenova Autumnfest.To fit in all 3,000 pumpkins, Griffith and his helpers spread them across the home’s garden and front porch (门廊), as well as on the roof!Griffith began the tradition back in 1978 with just fivepumpkins and, many years later, it’s much bigger and better. People can’t help but come to the area, walking along the sidewalk outside the house to get that perfect Halloween experience.“Locals take great pride in it, and then there are people from around the country who plan fall trips and include it in their trips so they can see it,” said Tyson Compton, president of the CabellⅡHuntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. “It’s really something.”“It’s become a tradition for many people in our area, and it feels good to keep that going,” Griffith said.8. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The Griffiths selling 3,000 pumpkins a day.B. Ric Griffith giving 3,000 jack-o’Ⅱlanterns to tourists.C. Ric Griffith teaching 3,000 people how to display jack-o’Ⅱlanterns.D. The Griffiths decorating their house with 3,000 pumpkins.9. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Ric Griffith’s idea has received support from his community.B. There are only two kinds of jack-o’Ⅱlanterns.C. Ric Griffith dislikes asking for help from others.D. There are 30,000 people in Kenova.10. What do we know about the tradition?A. It began with 1,978 pumpkins.B. It has lasted more than 40 years.C. It includes five pumpkin competitions.D. It encourages people to do more exercise.11. What’s Tyson Compton’s attitude towards the tradition?A. Worried.B. Uncaring.C. Favorable.D. Uncertain.DJack was born without eyes. He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens (young cats) to socialize (交往)with, and was used to people from the moment he was born. However, when it came time to find the kittenshomes, no one knew where Jack would end up.That’s when I got an e-mail from my friend. All she asked was “Do you still want one of the kittens? There’s one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him”. Without thinking I told her that I did want the kitten.When we first brought him home, Jack stayed mostly in my room. After about a day he had noissues running around and climbing on everything. At times he gets lost in the house, he’ll stop. But we just call his name and talk to him and it isn’t long before he finds his way back to us.A few weeks after getting Jack, we got a new cat named Bear. Jack and Bear have become best friends. It doesn’t matter that he can’t see. He always knows when Bear is around. He’ll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug. They run after each other around and wrestle (摔跤). They’ll lie down in the grass together when tired.Jack is truly an inspiration. I’ve owned lots of kittens in my life, but Jack is the happiest and most playful. He doesn’t feel sorry for himself. He doesn’t need pity. I think Jean, owner of Gumbo, another eyeless cat, said it best when she told me that cats don’t have disabilities; they have adaptability.12. Why did Jack come to the author’s home?A. The author cared for an eyeless cat.B. The author didn’t mind whether he was blind.C. No other young cats kept him company.D. The author’s friend begged the author to take him home.13. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Jack often wrestles with Bear indoors.B. Jack likes to play with a new eyeless cat.C. Jack quickly adapts to the new environment.D. Jack is good at talking and playing with people.14. What does the underlined word “issue” in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Trouble.B. Fun.C. Luck.D. Business.15. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. A cat has nine lives.B. All is well that ends well.C. God helps those who help themselves.D. A good beginning makes a good ending.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。

Heroic mother cat Lele gave birth to four kittens at home and lived alone for over 50 days in Wuhan, when its owners, a family of seven, were in hospital for treatment of novel coronavirus. In late January, Lele's owner, surnamed Chen, was infected with novel coronavirus and has been in hospital since then. Several days later, Chen's father, and five other family members all tested positive for the virus, leaving pregnant cat mom Lele alone at home.For fear of cross-infection, Chen didn't ask friends to take care of Lele, but prepared two bags of cat food weighing about 24 pounds and some water at home.As he gradually recovered in the hospital, worries about Lele, the expectant mother, always haunted him.Fifty-four days later, when Chen' s family got back home, they were surprised to find Lele had already given birth to four kittens.The four were healthy and active and have been weaning (断奶) from their mother's. According to Chen, Lele survived on the cat food and water found in a fish pond on the balcony. Since no one cleaned up for such a long time, the cat litter box has gone messy and smelly.In memory of the special experience, Chen named the four kittens ''Xiaowu'', ''Hanhan'', ''Xiaojia'' and ''Youyou'', which together mean ''Wuhan, fighting'' in Chinese, hoping the city could stay strong and return to normal soon.Lele's story went viral (迅速传播) on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, and won over 366,000 likes.

He said, “I would like to invite six to eight artists from around the world to join me on this mission to the Moon. They will be asked to create something after they return to the earth. These masterpieces will inspire the people who have dreams.”The first space tourist was Dennis Tito, an American businessman who in 2001 paid some 20 million dollars to fly on a Russian spaceship to the International Space Station.SpaceX CEO Elon Musk described Maezawa as the bravest and best adventurer. “He stepped forward,” Musk added. “We are honored that he chose us.” Musk said he would not make known the price for the Moon trip, but said it would be “free for the artists”.“This is dangerous, to be clear.

Many young people these days adore （喜欢） the advertised magazine body and become too focused on attaining this image instead of worrying more about what lasts and even grows over time．But could you imagine being considered beautiful for years, and suddenly being ugly after moving to another continent? It is a sad reality that people don't realize how ________ the idea of beauty can be from one country to another．Think of the most typical American girl you know．Is she blonde﹣haired with white skin and light blue eyes, and does she love shopping or sports? Now place this girl in the heart of Africa, where beauty is placed on what you can control．The Maasai tribe （部落） in Kenya focuses on how clean people are, and how stylish their piercings （穿孔） are．This tribe's culture is to be a brave fighter, so they will cut their skin with patterns in it to show that they are strong．If you don't look fierce, you are not beautiful．Other countries like North Korea nd South Korea have their own unique views on beauty．In an interview, a woman who has lived in both North Korea and South Korea claims that beauty in North Korea is based more on your ability to be a good woman and wife．She says that women in North Korea are less concerned about fashion and beauty in the physical sense．She says they did have a time when big eyes were a big deal and everyone wanted to get double eyelid surgery．This is something extreme and could perhaps be influenced by Western culture．But don't you think the idea of getting surgery done to look more attractive is crazy?（1）What does the underlined word"vacillating"in Paragraph 1probably mean？________ A.Inconsistent． B.Reasonable． ual． D.Similar．（2）The Maasai tribe in Kenya is mentioned to show that in their eyes________．A.getting dirty is stylish．B.American girls love shopping．C.strong people cut their skin．D.looking fierce is beautiful．（3）According to the woman interviewed，women in North Korea now________．A.care a lot about their appearance．B.put the beauty of eyes in the first place．C.pay great attention to their ability．D.are crazy about double eyelid surgery．（4）What does the text mainly tell us？________A.Inner beauty is of great importance．B.Ideas of beauty vary among culture groups．C.Different ways are needed to admire true beauty．D.Fashion magazines easilyinfluence young people．4. Most of the new diseases we humans have faced in the past several decades have come from animals． The more we come into contact with wild animals, the more we risk a so﹣called disease "spillover" from animals to humans．"As people move and wildlife move in response to a changing environment, humans and wildlife and animals will come in contact more regularly, " said Jeanne Fair from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico． Fair argues that by shifting（转移）animal habitats, climate change will also make the opportunities for disease spillover more frequent． "Everything is sort of shifting and will shift into the future as the environment changes through climate change, " Fair said．Scientists, including climatologists and epidemiologists on Fair's team at Los Alamos, are beginning to model how changes to the climate will impact the spread of infectious diseases． It's early days for this kind of research, but previous studies suggest that extreme weather has already played a role in at least one outbreak． Scientists say drought and deforestation have combined to force bats out of rainforests and into orchards（果园）in Malaysia to find food． Those bats, a common disease reservoir, then passed the Nipah virus through pigs to humans for the first time in the late 1990s．"We're going by the past data to really predict what's going to happen in the future, " Fair said, "And so, anytime you increase that wildlife﹣human interface（界面）, that's sort of an emerging disease hot spot． And so, that's just increasing as we go forward．"Jeffrey Shaman, head of the climate and health program at Columbia University's public health school, argues we don't yet know whether climate change will cause a net increase in infectious disease rates globally． For example, mosquitos carry disease that affects millions of people across the world every year． As their habitats expand in some parts of the world, they might contract diseases elsewhere． Shaman says what we know for certain about climate change is that it will make it harder to predict where disease outbreaks will pop up．摘自《The Week》（1）How does climate change affect the spread of disease according to Fair？________A. By breaking animals' habits．B. By increasing animals' varieties．C. By promoting animals' breeding．D. By changing animals' living environment．．（2）What is the example of bats for in paragraph 3？________A. Explaining the influence of Nipah virus．B. Proving the harm of bats to human beings．C. Showing the effects of climate change on disease．D. Presenting scientists' early study about the cause of disease．．（3）What could be the best title for the text？________A. Climate Change and Disease SpilloverB. Animals' Interaction with HumansD. Early Studies about Extreme WeatherC. Scientists' Prediction for Disease Outbreaks．二、七选五Ancient Rome was one of the world's most powerful empires more than 2,000 years ago. The Romans' ideas about roads, laws, government and buildings still influence us today. Italy is shaped like a boot.The Colosseum in Rome was built during the time of the Roman Empire, in the first century A.D.（1）________ It is a popular tourist attraction today.Italy is well-known for its designers, who create cars, handbags, clothes, shoes and other items that are in demand for their style and fine workmanship.Today, the economy of Italy is stronger than in the past.（2）________ Today, manufacturing and tourism are the main sources of income.

A Thousand Mornings and Small Acts of Amazing CourageBA painter has just completed his course．He took 3 days and painted beautiful scenery．He wanted to know people's opinion about his talent and painting skills．He put his creation at a busy street and just down below a board which read-"I have painted this piece．Since I'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes．Please put a cross wherever you see a mistake．"While he came back in the evening to collect his painting he was completely shattered to see that whole canvass（画板）was filled with crosses，they criticized the painter ruthlessly．Disheartened and broken completely he ran to his master's and burst into tears．This young artist complained，"I'm useless and if this is what I have learnt to paint I'm not worth becoming a painter．People have rejected me completely．"Master smiled and suggested，"My son，I will prove that you are a great artist and have learnt flawless painting．Do as I say without questioning it．It will work．"Young artist agreed and two days later early morning he presented a replica（复制品）of his earlier painting to his master．Master took that gracefully and smiled．"Come with me．"master said．They reached the same street early morning and displayed the same painting exactly at the same place．Now master took out another board which read-"Gentlemen，I have painted this piece．Since I 'm new to this profession I might have committed some mistakes in my strokes etc．I have put a box with colors and brushes just below．Please do a favor．If you see a mistake，kindly pick up the brush and correct it．"Then they walked back home．They both visited the place the same evening．The young painter was surprised to see that actually there was not a single correction done so far．Next day again they visited and found painting remained untouched．They say the painting was kept there for a month for no correction came in!4.The painter put his creation at a busy street to ______ ．A. help him to assess his skills in paintingB. ask others to correct mistakes in the paintingC. show off his great talent and painting skillsD. make others help him finish the painting5.When he saw the whole canvass was filled with crosses，______ ．A. he felt quite determinedB. he was very annoyed with the commentsC. he felt greatly discouragedD. he was very grateful for their suggestions6.After doing as the master suggested，the young painter found that people passing by thepainting ______ ．A. had thought it was painted by a master painterB. neglected his painting on purposeC. didn't want to take the brush to correct itD. were satisfied with his painting7.Which saying can best show the theme of the passage？______A. All things are difficult before they are easy．B. Actions speak louder than words．C. A bad workman always blames his tools．D. It is easier said than done．CScientists have found evidence of a link between social and economic status and childhood attention deficit disorder（ADHD）（注意力缺陷多动障碍）in the UK．A team led by the University of Exeter Medical School analysed data from the Millennium Cohort Study，a database of more than 19，500 UK children born between 2000 and 2002．The study was published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry．Findings showed that more children with ADHD came from families below the poverty line than the UK population as a whole，with average family incomes for households whose study child was affected by ADHD at £324 per week，compared to £391 for those whose child was not．The study found the odds （机会）of parents in social housing having a child with ADHD was roughly three times greater than for those who owned their own homes．The team also found that the odds of younger mothers having a child with ADHD were significantly higher than for other mothers．Mothers with no qualifications were more than twice as likely to have a child with ADHD than those with degrees，and lone （孤独的）parents were more likely to have a child with ADHD diagnosis than households with two live-in parents．Information was gathered from surveys when the cohort children were nine months old，and at the ages of three，five，seven and eleven．Dr Ginny，of the University of Exeter Medical School，who led the study，said，"There is a genetic element to ADHD，but this study provides strong evidence that ADHD is also associated with a disadvantaged social and economic background．Some people believe that ADHD in children causes disadvantage to the economic situation of their family，but we found no evidence to support that theory．It's important to discover more about the causes of this disorder so that we can look towards prevention，and so that we can target treatment and support effectively．"8.We can infer from Paragraph 2 that ______ ．A. family incomes of £391 per week are below the poverty line in the UKB. children affected by ADHD consume family incomes of £324 per weekC. parents who rent houses are likely to have a child with ADHDD. families who own their own houses are above the poverty line9.Which of the following families are most likely to have a child with ADHD？______A. The households with two live-in parents．B. Middle-aged mothers having no diploma．C. Single younger mothers with no diploma．D. Younger mothers living with their husbands．10.What is Dr Ginny's attitude to the belief that ADHD in children causes disadvantage to theeconomic situation of their family？______A. He agrees with it．B. He ignores it．C. He hesitates to accept it．D. He argues against it．11.What message does the author most want to give us？______A. ADHD linked to social and economic disadvantage．B. The cure of ADHD has been found by the UK's scientists．C. New methods have been used to treat ADHD patients．D. Causes and effects of ADHD have been found out completely．DHow to eat healthfully can be especially complex for working women who often have neither the desire nor the time to cook for themselves （or for anyone else）．Registered dietitian（营养专家）Barbara Morrissey suggests that a few simple rules can help．"Go for nutrient dense foods that contain a multiple of nutrients，"she suggests，"For example，select whole wheat bread as a breakfast food，rather than coffee and cake．Or drink orange juice rather than orange drink，which contains only a small percentage of realjuice------the rest is largely colored sugar water．You just can't compare the value of these foods，the nutrient dense ones are so superior，" she emphasizes．Morrissey believes that variety is not only the spice of life；it's the foundation of a healthful diet．Diets which are based on one or two foods are not only virtually impossible to keep up the strength，they can be very harmful，she says，because nutrients aren't supplied in sufficient amounts or balance．According to Morrissey，trying to find a diet that can cure your illnesses，or make you a super woman is a fruitless search．As women，many of us are too concerned with staying thin，she says，and we believe that vitamins are some kind of magic cure to replace food．"We need carbohydrates（碳水化合物）protein and fat---they are like the wood in the fireplace．The vitamins and minerals are like the match，the spark，for the fuel，"she explains，"We need them all，but in a very different proportion．And if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless．"12.From the first paragraph we know that working women ______ ．A. think cooking is especially complicatedB. are likely to eat healthfullyC. are busy and not interested in cookingD. do not share the same views with registered dietitians13.In Paragraph 4，the underlined phrase means ______ ．A. a diet serving as medicineB. a search for a diet without fruitsC. a research on a fruitless dietD. an effort with no results14.Many women take it for granted，according to the passage that ______ ．A. lack of variety in diets leads to staying thinB. staying thin and healthy are both possibleC. a balanced diet can result in being fatD. vitamins are some kind of substitutes for food15.By the sentence"if the fuel isn't there，the spark is useless"in Paragraph 5，the authormeans ______ ．A. carbohydrates，protein and fat are enough to support a human lifeB. vitamins and minerals are virtually of no valueC. carbohydrates，protein and fat are as important as vitamins and mineralsD. without carbohydrates，protein and fat，vitamins and minerals are of no use二、阅读七选五（本大题共3小题，共10.0分）Much meaning can be conveyed clearly with our eyes，so it is often said that eyes can speak．(1) In a bus you may look at a stranger，but not for too long．And if he sensed that you are staring at him，he may feel uncomfortable．The same is true in our daily life．If you are stared at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you．（2）______ ．Eyes do speak，right？Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive．(2) ．If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her，his intentions are obvious．He wishes to attract her attention，and let her know that he is admiring her．However，when two persons are engaged in a conversation，the speaker will only look into the listener's eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking．(3) If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he trying to control you，you will feel awkward．A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim．He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication．(2) Actually，eye contact should be made based on specific relationship and situation．A．On the contrary，it will give him away．B．Do you have such a kind of experience？C．That's what normal eye contact is all about．D．Actually，continuous eye contact is limi ted to lovers only．E．After all，everybody likes to be stared at for quite a long time．F．But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex．G．If nothing goes wrong，you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way．16. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G17. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G. G18. A. A B. B C. C D. D E.E F.F G.

My disabilities were caused by lack of oxygen to my brain when I wasa five-year-old boy. I grew up knowing I was different. The first time I felt hurt and left out was in Grade Five. The other fourth and fifth graders played together in gym class, while I was put in the second grade gym class. One day, a famous football player visited the fourth and fifth grade P.E. class. All the kids got his autograph except me because I was with the second graders playing games. Mom called the school to tell them it wasn’t fair, but the school scolded me for complaining too much.In the 1980s, when my mom was giving birth to my sister, she had made a major stroke（中风）and died. My dad became even more distant. I was very sad and began using alcohol to ease the pain.Dad got remarried in 1985. Everyone went to his wedding except me; he told me to stay at home and watchthe house. When my high school ball came around, I wanted to go but wasn’t allowed. When I graduated, my dad and step-mom refused to hold a party for me. They put me in a group home after graduation.My life changed when I became a local leader of the National Self-advocacy（自我辩护）Group. At first, I thought the group wasn’t for me, until I found out it was all about empowerment（授权）! My goal is to be the voice for people who haven’t been heard and to empower them. Many families, like mine, don’t believe their disabled families have a voice or mind of their own.Looking back over my 16 years of leadership experience, I ’m proud that I ’ve helped disabled people. They should be encouraged to never give up and to follow their own path.56. When the writer was in the fifth grade, he .A. was hurt by his classmates in schoolB. felt left out for the first time in his lifeC. studied with the second gradersD. often complained about the school57. According to the passage, the writer .A. was born disabledB. didn’t study well at schoolC. was happy in his childhoodD. didn’t get along well with his father58. From the passage we can know that the National Self-advocacy Group is .A. an organization that gives disabled people helpB. a club organized completely by disabled peopleC. a hospital which only treats people with disabilitiesD. a school that teaches parents how to deal with their disabled kidsBThere are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. And some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on , water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “fee dback(反馈)” . Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us . So robots are like human beings in two ways.They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better than human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done, A person moves the robot’s “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras. Their fingers can feel shapes and sizes of the objects. These robots have computer brains linked to their eyes and fingers, which control their actions. The expensive robots are used in scientific research. They do such jobs as handling radioactive materials.59. In this passage the author tells us that .A. robots are very popularB. there are various kinds of robotsC. we see robots only at certain timesD. robots can be easily controlled60. What does the author seem to inform you about robots?A. They should be greatly improvedB. They will probably take over in the futureC. They are very hopeful and useful to humansD. They are machines that break down a lot61. The author says that in industry .A. robots break down a lotB. robots can do many jobsC. robots only get in the wayD. robots sometimes cause troubles62. The fact that a robot never gets bored doing the same job means that .A. it is very much like human beingsB. it can do boring jobs for peopleC. it will never bore peopleD. it will work much better than human beingsCDriving while talking on a hand-held mobile phone has long been considered a danger. But even drivers who use hands free devices are a nuisance – because they are slowing everyone else down, according to a study.David Strayer, a psychology professor in Utah University’s traffic lab, conducted a study involving 36 university students driving on motorways. Each used a hands free phone for half the trip but not for the other half. The students were told to obey posted speed limits and use turn signals but the rest of the driving decisions were up to them . What Strayer found is that when the drivers were distracted（使分心）by a phone conversation , they made fewer lane（车道）changes, drove slower and took longer to get where they were going. Fellow researcher Professor Peter Martin, who teaches civil and environmental engineering at Utat University, said, “Ordinarily a slower driver should be safer ，but that’s not the case when people are talking on a cell phone.”In general , drivers who used mobile phones while driving took three percent longer to drive along the same high-density route than drivers who didn’t. When stuck behind a dawdling(磨蹭的) driver , it took them between 25 and 50 seconds longer to switch to an open lane to overtake. Those delays can add up when you consider studies that suggest as many as 10 percent of US drivers are using a cell phone at any one time. And delays in traffic streams of very small amou nts can grow into massively when drivers are crossing a highway.” Our next step is to use computer models to determine just how much those delays are costing drivers in time and in extra fuel costs,” Martrin said.63. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?A. A person who is a volunteer.B. A person who breaks the traffic lawC. A person who is annoyed by others.D. A person who causes trouble64. Which of the following is TRUE , according to Martin?A. The more slowly a person drove, the safer he was.B. Measures should be taken to stop using mobile phones.C. Drivers using hand-held phones had less effect on traffic than those using hands free phonesD. Driving while using mobile phones could cost drivers time and money.65. The passage is mainly about .A. traffic conditions in rush hoursB. the use of mobile phones in the USAC. using hands free devices behind the wheelD. a comparison between hand-held phones and hands free ones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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
