gift from friends to other friends in Geneva．Having only 30 minutes between meetings，I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department．There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap，etc．．He was amazing．He got the plates in seconds，wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card，to which I replied no，because I lived in Switzerland，to which he replied asking if，as I lived abroad，would like a tax rebate form （退税表）．After that he showed me what to do，produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities （程序）．That was fabulous！I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me．I even asked if he gave this to everyone，to which he answered：“I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”．With that，a tall man in a grey suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying，“Can I introduce myself？I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard．．．” He had been wandering through the store （as youshould do as a handson CEO）and had overheard me thanking this salesman，whose face，I can hardly describe，was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment！Can you imagine the salesman going home to his family and friends recounting what the CEO spoke to him after overhearing him being praised by a customer？56．The writer went to Harrods to ．A．kill time B．buy some giftsC．go sightseeing D．shop for her wedding57．What does the underlined word “whiz” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A．Drive．B．Arrive．C．Rush．D．Leave．58．Which of the following sentences can best

service”．59．As soon as she bought what she wanted，the writer ．A．went to a meeting B．flew back to GenevaC．visited one of her friends D．attended a wedding ceremony60．The writer wrote the above passage because she thought what she had experienced was so ．A．pleasant B．strange C．exciting D．amusingBYou never see him，but they’re with you every time you fly．They record where you are going，how fast you’re traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to withstand （经受住）almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book．They’re known as the black box．When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to Comoros Islands in the India ocean June 30，，the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine （潜水艇）detected the device’s homing signal five days later，the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed．In 1958，Australian scientist David Warren developed a flightmemory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first mode for a black box，which became a requirement on all U．S．commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to withstand crashes，however，so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear （后部）of the plane—the area least subject to impact—from its original position in the landing wells （起落架舱）．The same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility．Modern airplanes have two black boxes： a voice recorder，which tracks pilots’conversations，and a flightdata recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircraft’s final moments．Placed in an insulated （隔绝的）case and surrounded by a quarterinchthick panels of stainless steel，theboxes can withstand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000℉．When submerged （淹没），they’re also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1,，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they’re still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20 deepsea crashes over the past 30 years，only one plane’s black boxes were never recovered．61．Which of the following is the magic feature about a black box，according to the text？A．It can record clearly．B．It can be seen clearly．C．It can survive a serious disaster．D．It can tell altitude and direction．62．Which of the following statements about the air disaster happening to Yemeni airliner is TRUE？A．Its black box hasn’t been found yet．B．Its black box was found under the sea．C．Its black box saved all the passengers’ lives．D．Its black box was found immediately after the crash．63．When the first mode of black box appeared，．A．it wasn’t black B．it was painted yellowC．it was at the rear of the plane D．it wasn’t able to track direction 64．According to the passage，modern black boxes ．A．are placed in insulated plastic boxesB．have seldom been found in deepsea crashesC．are painted bright colors and can emit signalsD．will melt only when the temperature rises to 1,000℉65．Several changes to the black box are mentioned in the passage except the change in its ．A．position B．number C．strength D．sizeCThe U．S．Food and Drug Administration （FDA）is considering to put stricter limits over tanning salons （晒黑廊）and wants to ban anyone younger than 18 years of age from using a tanning bed，an advisory panel （专家团）announced last week．The panel is calling for tighter controls on the industry such as requiring teenagers to get the approval from their parents before using tanning beds or limiting the use of artificial tanning to a certain age．“Given the absence of any demonstrated benefit，I think it is an obligation for us to ban artificial tanning for those under 18，” said panelist Dr．Michael Olding．Along with a possible ban for teenagers，the panel also recommended that visible warning labels should be placed either on the tanning machines or in the salons in order to caution tanners of the possible dangers．In addition，the committee decided that stricter regulations and classifications were critical to make the machines safer．At this time the machines are categorized as FDA Class 1 devices，the ones that are least likely to cause harm．In case the FDA decided to change their classification from Class 1 to Class 2，as advised by the panel，the FDA could limit the levels of radiation the machines emit．Class 2 devices include Xray machines and powered wheelchairs．Getting a tan，whether from a tanning bed or the sun，increases the risk of developing skin cancer．Last year，the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer （IARC）declared tanning beds as “carcinogenic （致癌的）to humans”．It wasdiscovered that young individuals in their teens and 20s who use tanning beds on a regular basis have a 75 per cent higher risk of suffering from melanoma （黑素瘤），the deadliest form of skin cancer．According to the American Cancer Society，melanoma accounted for nearly 69,000 cases of skin cancer in and will account for most （about 8,650）of the 11,590 mortality cases due to skin cancer each year．66．According to the passage，what measures will U．S．FDA most probably take？A．Banning tanning salons．B．Posing heavier tax over tanning salons．C．Having tighter controls over tanning salons．D．Limiting the number of tanning salons in every state．67．Which of the following suggestions for making tanning salons safer is NOT mentioned？A．Visible Caution．B．Setting age limit．C．Professional personnel．D．Parental approval for teenagers．68．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？A．Xray machines are less likely to cause harm than tanning machines．B．Xray machines are more likely to cause harm than tanning machines．C．Powered wheelchairs are as likely to cause harm as tanning machines．D．Powered wheelchairs are less likely to cause harm than tanning machines．69．What does the writer want to express in the last paragraph？A．Tanning in one’s youth may mean death．B．Tanning in the sun is safer than on the tanning bed．C．People should get tanned without getting melanoma．D．Getting tanned is only a good idea for those above thirty years old．70．What will most probably happen，if the advisory panel’s suggestions are adopted and put into practice？A．Fewer people will suffer from skin cancer．B．Tanning salons will have more customers．C．Getting a tan in a tanning salon will cost less．D．Parents will be more anxious about their tanning children．PART FOUR WRITING（45 marks）SECTION A（10 marks）Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．According to the surprising findings of a new study by U．S．investigators，chewing sugarless gum during class and while doing homework can have a positive effect on academic performance in teenagers．Study leader Craig A．Johnston of the Children’s Nutrition Research Center at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston，Texas，and his colleagues studied more than 100 eighthgrade students，52 girls and 56 boys，aged between 13 and 16 years，in four math classes．The experts randomly assigned teenagers into two groups：one group was asked to chew Wrigley’s sugarfree gum during class，while doing homework，and also while performing a standardized test．They chewed at least one stick of gum 86 per cent of the time they were in math class and 36 per cent of the time they were doing homework．The participants of the other group did not．Johnston and his team found that 14 weeks later，the gum chewers had a 3 percent increasein their math scores on the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills achievement test，a small but statistically significant change，according to experts．There was no difference found in math scores between the participants in the two groups in another test called the Woodcock Johnston III Tests of Achievement．However，the experiment revealed that gumchewers had better final grades in the class compared to their nonchewing peers．According to Johnston，chewing gum reduces stress and anxiety as well as it increases arousal （兴奋）．Researchers say that the studies and research are focused on investigating the effect of chewing gum on focus，alertness，concentration，situational stress，weight control and oral health．According to them，the study is really meaningful and should raise interest in parents “when related to small steps that can lead to better academic performance．”The new study is being built on previous research that was conducted in a laboratory setting and showed that gum chewing can help reduce stress，improve alertness and relieve anxiety．The current findings，for the first time，provide a possible role for chewing gum in helping to improve academic performance in a “real life” classroom setting．A surprising finding—chewing gum results in 71．Ⅰ．Purpose of the study：To investigate the effect of chewing gum on

groups ● Gumchewers having better final gradesⅢ．Researchers’ Analysis：◆Chewing gum reduces 80．．◆Chewing gum increases arousal．SECTION B （10 marks）Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage．The period of engagement is the time between the marriage proposal and the wedding ceremony．Two people agree to marry when they decide to spend their lives together．The manusually gives the woman a diamond engagement ring．That tradition is said to have started when an Austrian man gave a diamond ring to the woman he wanted to marry．The diamond represented beauty．He placed it on the third finger of her left hand．He chose that finger because it was thought that a blood vessel （血管）in that finger went directly to the heart．Today，we know that this is not true．Yet the tradition continues．Americans generally are engaged for a period of about one year if they are planning a wedding ceremony and party．During the time，friends of the bride may hold a party at which women friends and family members give the bride gifts that she will need as a wife．These could include cooking equipment or new clothing．Friends of the man who is getting married may have a bachelor party for him．This usually takes place the night before the wedding．Only men are invited to the bachelor party．During the marriage ceremony，the bride and her wouldbe husband usually exchange gold rings that represent the idea that their union will continue forever．The wife often wears both the wedding ring and engagement ring on the same finger．The husband wears his ring on the third finger of his left hand．Many people say the purpose of the engagement period is to permit enough time to plan the wedding．But the main purpose is to let enough time pass so the two people are sure they want to marry each other．Either person may decide to break the engagement．If this happens，the woman usually returns the ring to the man；they also return any wedding gifts they have received．81．According to the passage，on which finger does a woman wear her engagement ring today？（No more than 12 words）（3 marks）82．Why will a bride receive such gifts as cooking equipment？（No more than 8 words）（2 marks）83．When does a bachelor party usually take place？（No more than 10 words）（2 marks）84．What is the most important reason for there to be the engagement period？（No more than 18 words）（3 marks）SECTION C（25 marks）Directions：Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese．happyfamily．com是一个致力于消除家长和孩子之间沟通障碍的网站。
2020-2021学年保定市第七中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析
2020-2021学年保定市第七中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThe last thing Caitlin Hipp would have expected as she prepared to turn 28 years old was to be living at homewith her parents. But through working as a part-time skating instructor and restaurant server, she isn't able to earn enough to live anywhere other than home.To some degree, multigenerational households have always been a part of American life. However, the number of young adults who have been moving back in with their parents — or never leaving home in the first place — has been growing steadily.UBS Financial Services released a report that even suggests one reason for the growing number of young adultsstill living at home could be that their family doesn't want them to leave.The report shows that 74 percent of millennials (千禧一代)get some kind of financial support from their parents after college. It finds that millennials have redefined the ties that connect parents and children. Millennials see their parents as peers,friends and instructors. Nearly three quarters talked with their parents more than once a week during college. In return, their parents happily provide financial support well into adulthood, helping fund everything for them.Stuart Hoffman, chief economist for the PNC Financial Services Group in theUS, said the number of young adults striking out on their own fell during the Great Recession. Although job growth for millennials since 2014 has improved, that doesn't necessarily mean that millennials are starting to fly the nest. He said, “They may like living at home and being able to save money.“ There's no doubt it has held back household formation and purchases of things people spend money on related to household formation and perhaps related to child-raising," Hoffman explained. "But they are probably traveling more and eating out more if they don't have a house expense or marriage. I don't know if it represents a change in moral values. But it's much more common for adult children to live in their parents’ homes because it's becoming part of the culture.1. What can we learn from the UBS Financial Services' report?A. Millennials are on good terms with their parents.B. Millennials are financially independent after college.C. Parents are unwilling to give their young adults allowance.D. Parents want their kids to stay with them forever.2. What does Hoffman think of young adults' living at home?A. It increases the consumption of household products.B. It may continue despite job growth.C. It is a sign of shift in moral values.D. It is new in American culture.3. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To introduce millennials' living habits.B. To stress the importance of financial independence.C. To explain why American young adults still live at home.D. To inform people of a social trend in theUS.BCycling has long been a sport where a competitive edge is pursued, often at any cost. Cycling shorts, however, were an area that technology had yet to enter. Little was added to them apart from, perhaps, some padding to protect a rider.Now, however, new cycling shorts are being equipped with sensors to help riders defeat opponents easily. A British start-up has created a pair of shorts that uses electric sensors and artificial intelligence to shape and strengthen cyclists' muscles while they are moving. It plans to also adapt this product next year for joggers and people at the gym.The shorts, created by Devon Lewis, a PhD student at theUniversityofSouthampton, are able to send out tiny electric currents into a user's muscles to improve their cycling technique. Mr Lewis, 27, came up with the idea after studying a connection between the brain and muscles that sends chemical signals from motor neurons to muscle fibres to make the muscle contract and strengthen.The shorts, created by Mr Lewis's start-up bypass this connection using electric cur rents to build muscle strength directly, without relying on the brain to send out signals. “We have a limited ability to control our muscles naturally,” Mr Lewis said. “You can control them more exactly, get more from your muscles and contract them more strongly, if you stimulate them directly with electricity.” Electric wires in the shorts send out currents that activate the muscle. “For those worried about getting a shock while cycling,” Mr Lewis said, “It's sort of the same thing as when you have spicy food and you get that little rush. It feels strange when you first start using it but thenyou adapt to it quite quickly.”His idea has received support from Future Worlds, a start-up accelerator atSouthamptonUniversity. The product is being shown next week at the technology conference CES, held digitally this year.4. What's the strength of the newly invented cycling shorts ?A. They help cyclists perform better.B.

Some Tips about Running FastCAt the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural (建筑学的) medal at the 2021 German iF Design Awards.The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a division at a company in Hangzhou, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li’s husband was on business trips a lot and Li worked overtime on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy.In 2018, they quit jobs and went back to Dongtianmu village, which lies in a forest of bamboo. The first time they drove into the village was one late afternoon. The cooking smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, which gave them a very different feeling form thecity.The homestay was built beside her husband’s old countryside house. The old house is preserved (保留), while a brand-new building was built on its side and the whole site is made up of for courtyards. It has been updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, a dining room. Japanese cherry trees are planted in the east courtyard. Aswimming pool is placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side.Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.8. How did Li feel about city life?A. Satisfied.B. Tired.C. Attractive.D. Noisy.9. What impressed the couple when first driving to the village?A. The smoke of cooking.B. The forest of bamboo.C. The smell of the village.D. The feeling of loneliness.10. What can we infer about the homestay from paragraph 4?A. It is ancient and broken.B. It can hold many guests.C.

Living in the countryside.D. Developing the economy of cities.DWhether for a special holiday, as a way of showing gratitude or just a way of letting someone know you care, gift giving is a universal custom Though the purpose may be similar from place to place, traditions vary widely from one country to the next. A behavior that shows respect in one place might be consideredoffensivesomewhere else. Take a look at unique gifting traditions from around the world.Here in theUS, a set of kitchen knives seems like the perfect gift idea for a wedding. However, in certain European countries likeGermany, people believe that a knife presented as a gift will cut off your friendship. There is a way to break it: Tie a coin to the knife or gift box. The receiver then returns the coin to you as a “payment”to remove the bad luck.There's a well-known Italian wedding tradition where the groom's (新郎) tie is cut into a number of tiny pieces. Wedding guests can then "buy” these tie pieces in exchange for cash. It's a fun way to give money to the new couple thatleaves guests with a wedding souvenir.As left hands are considered unclean in Indian culture, behaviors such as touching, passing money, or givinggifts are to be done with the right hand. Different from some other cultures , an odd number (奇数) of thingsor currency represents good luck. For example, £11 should be given rather than £10.InZimbabwe, it is common to directly ask for a gift. When you receive a gift without asking for it, even if the giver's family is poor, it's the worst way to reject the offering. Also, expressing thanks with actions is better than giving thanks orally (口头地).These may include jumping up and down, dancing, or whistling.12. What does the underlined word “offensive“ in paragraph 1 refer to?A. Rude.B. Creative.C. Suitable.D. Caring.13. How do people prevent friendship breaking down when giving gifts like knives?A. The guests cut the groom's tie into pieces.B. The receiver returns the coin to the giver.C. The giver gives gifts with the right hand.D. The receiver expresses thanks by dancing.14. What can we learn about the gift giving inZimbabwe?A. It is not proper to ask for a gift directly.B. It's better to reject a gift from a poor family.C. One can express thanks by writing letters.D. Showing gratitude with actions is better than words.15. Which can be a suitable title for the text?A. The Wayof Showing GratitudeB. A Fun Behavior to Respect PeopleC. Various Gift Giving TraditionsD. A Special Custom of Gift Giving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。

2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷(七)附带答案及详细解析
2021年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试英语模拟卷（七）一、阅读选择（共4题；共30分）1.阅读理解Children's books bring back joyful memories, providing kids with that much-needed escapism, entertainment and education from a young age. But sometimes it can be difficult to know which to choose. Here, experts share a selection of their favourites.Germany: Konstantin, by Gerda Wagener Vlasta BarankovaThis book follows a shy crocodile named Konstantin who finds a French horn in the jungle. The lonely reptile learns to play the instrument in secret but later with the confidence given by other animals, the nervous and lonely Konstantin finally comes out of his shell and finds friendship through his music. This heartwarming story encourages taking pride in what you do and having the courage to share it with others.Sweden: Pippi Longstocking, by Astrid LindgrenPippi, a nine-year-old girl, is always ready to challenge the authority of grown-ups and has a love of animals, especially for her pet horse and monkey. Pippi also provides a strong female presence in the story, which is often lacking in traditional children's literature and fairy tales. This is a great book for any children looking for an exciting and courageous figure that they can relate or look up to, teaching them not only to take the lead but to question the rules of the world.Sweden: Pettson and Findus by Sven NordqvistIt is a series about the adventures of an old man, Pettson, and his cat, Findus, living in their farmhouse in the countryside. Beginning usually with ordinary events, such as a camping or fishing trip, they contain lots of fantastical details of the small creatures that play tricks on Pettson. These tales encourage finding joy in the little things in life, whether it is cooking or just enjoying the great outdoors.France: The Little Prince, by Antoine de Saint-ExuperyAs one of the most translated books ever, The Little Prince is a classic in many nations beyond its native France. The plot revolves around a young prince who travels from planet to planet through space. He learns lessons about love, loneliness and friendship along the ensuing journey. The book may have been written for children, but The Little Prince includes enough reflection on complex themes to keep grown-ups entertained as well, making it a great choice for parents and children to read together.（1）What are parents supposed to do with a shy boy?A.Motivate him to learn a musical instrument.B.Accompany him to read bedtime stories.C.Encourage him to come out of his shell.cate him to challenge authorities.（2）Which is the best choice to help improve your kids' critical thinking?A.KonstantinB.Pippi LongstockingC.Pettson and FindusD.The Little Prince（3）What do the four books have in common?A.They come from the western culture.B.They are the most translated books ever.C.They are about human-animal relationship.D.They are about memories of childhood.2.阅读理解Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career since her first publication in 1968. In 1993, she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems, The Wild Iris. And on Oct 8 (2020) she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.Gluck was honored “for her unmistakable poetic voice that, with plain and simple beauty, makes individual existence universal”. Often said to be an autobiographical poet, drawing fr om the inner parts of her life, "Gluck seeks the universal, Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.Gluck, 77, the author of 12 poetry collections, has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life, loss, and isolation. Because of this, readers have often found her poetry to be "dark". However, there is much more than darkness in her voice, as noted by Olsson. "It is candid and also a voice full of humor and biting wit." he said.For example, in her poem Snowdrops, she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death. She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end. At the conclusion of the poem, readers are left to feel the "raw wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring. This is often the case in Gluck's poetry, being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time. When her work Faithful Virtuous Night received a National Book Award for Poetry in 2014, a judge for the award went on to say, the collection comes from "a world where darkness blurs (模糊) ordinarily sharp edges around the oppositions of our lives - loss and renewal, male and female, the living and the dead".Talking of prizes, she acknowledged that they can make "existence in the world easier" but did not amount to the immortality (永生) of a true artist. "I want to live after I die, in that ancient way." she said. "And there's no way of knowing whether that will happen, and there will be no knowing, no matter how many blue ribbons have been used to cover my body." The remark is in line with Olsson's description of Gluck's poetic voice as "candid and uncompromising” but frequently witty.（1）What can we learn about Louise Gluck?A.She is a productive and distinguished poet.B.She showed indifference to the Nobel award.C.She had her first publication in her teens.D.She gets inspiration from universal existence.（2）How do readers feel after reading Snowdrops?A.Depressed.B.Confused.C.Astonished.D.Refreshed.（3）According to Gluck, how do awards influence artists?A.By improving their health and fame.B.By popularizing their works better.C.By contributing to their living longer.D.By allowing them a better living.（4）What is the text mainly about?A.Gluck's poetry collections.B.Gluck's journey to success.C.The glories of Glucks poetry.D.The features of Gluck's poetry.3.阅读理解Could looking through trees be the view to a greener future? Trees replacing the clear glass in your windows is not a work of science fiction. It's happening now.Forest Products Laboratory researcher Junyong Zhu together with colleagues from the University of Maryland and University of Colorado has developed a transparent wood material that may be the window of tomorrow. Researchers found that transparent wood has the potential to outperform glass currently used in construction in nearly every way.While glass is the most common material used in window construction, it comes with quite a few bad consequences. Heat easily transfers through glass and amounts to higher energy bills when it escapes during cold weather and pours in when it's warm. Glass production used for construction also comes with a heavy carbon footprint. Manufacturing emissions alone are approximately 25,000 metric tons per year, without considering the heavy footprint of transporting the glass.The innovation was developed using wood from the balsa tree, which is native to South and Central America. The team treated balsa wood to an oxidizing bath, where the wood is kept in a bleach solution at room temperature to remove the light-absorbing substance from the structure. The wood is then penetrated (注入) with a synthetic polymer called polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), creating a product that is virtually transparent. So the transparent wood is created, which is far more durable and lighter than glass.Switching to transparent wood could prove to be cost efficient as well. It is approximately five times more thermally efficient than glass, cutting energy costs. It is made from a sustainable, renewable resource with low carbon emissions.With all of these potential benefits for consumers, manufacturing and the environment, the case for transparent wood couldn't be clearer.（1）What is the main problem with glass used in window construction?A.It is inefficient in letting heat out.B.It is inconvenient to transport.C.It causes a high ecological price.D.It scarcely reflects light and heat.（2）What does the underlined part "a bleach solution" refer to?A.A way to make colors fade.B.A liquid to make objects pale.C.A container to store liquids.D.A process to solve problems.（3）What do the researchers probably agree with?A.Innovation is the vitality of scientific housing.B.Things are not always what they seem.C.There are more ways to the wood than one.D.There is nothing permanent except change.（4）What is the author's attitude toward transparent wood?A.Skeptical.B.Ambiguous.C.Appreciative.D.Conservative.4.阅读理解Half of all work tasks will be handled by machines by 2025 in a shift likely to worsen inequality, a World Economic Forum report has forecast.The think tank said a "robot revolution" would create 97 million jobs worldwide but destroy almost as many, leaving some communities at risk. Routine or manual jobs in administration and data processing were most atthreat of automation, WEF said. But it said there would be a need for new jobs in care, big data and the green economy.The WEF surveyed 300 of the world's biggest companies, with more than 8 million employees globally. More than 50% of employers surveyed said they expected to speed up the automation of some roles in their companies, while 43% felt they were likely to cut jobs due to technology.WEF said the pandemic (疫情) had sped up the adoption of new technologies as firms looked to cut costs and adopt new ways of working. But it warned workers now faced a double threat from "accelerating automation and the economic impact from the Covid-19"."These things have deepened existing inequalities across labor markets and removed gains in employment made since the global financial crisis in 2007-2008," said Saadia Zahidi, managing director at WEF. "The window of opportunity for active management of this change is closing fast."WEF said currently around a third of all work tasks were handled by machines, with humans doing the rest, but by 2025 the balance would shift. Roles that relied on human skills such as advising, decision-making, reasoning, communicating and interacting would rise in demand. There would also be a sudden large increase in demand for workers to fill green economy jobs, and new roles in areas like engineering and cloud computing.But it said millions of routine or manual jobs would be displaced by technology, affecting the lowest paid, lowest skilled workers the most. It said millions would need to be re-skilled to cope with the change, while governments would have to provide "stronger safety nets" for displaced workers.（1）Who are included in "some communities" mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.Unskilled workers.B.Software engineers.C.Career consultants.anic fanners.（2）What is the purpose of paragraphs 3 and 4?A.To analyse the reliability of the figures and facts.B.To provide supporting evidence for the main idea.C.To introduce two events for discussion.D.To highlight two causes of the effects.（3）What do the displaced people expect their governments to do?A.Slow down the automation.B.Strengthen social security.C.Improve network safety.D.Promote the Robot Revolution.（4）What can be a suitable title for the text?A.Further inequalities from the Robot Revolution.B.A double threat from automation and pandemic.C.Half of all work tasks to be lost.D.Half of all work tasks to be automated.二、任务型阅读（共1题；共5分）5.任务型阅读Do you waste food?How much food do you buy each week? Are you someone who fills your fridge and cupboards with treats so that you'll always have something to eat and so that you'll never go hungry? ________Throwing away unwanted food has become a big issue in the developed world. While some of us throw away unwanted items, people in other parts of world face food shortages and are starving. ________ The actual figure is 1.3 billion tons of food, which is enough to feed a billion hungry people.You may think supermarkets are mainly to blame for this mountain of food. After all, they do cast stuff that's past its sell — by — date. They've also been criticized for encouraging customers to buy more than they need. ________ In Europe an incredible 53% of food waste comes from households, which results in 88 million tons of food waste a year. So instead of filling our bellies, our food is filling up landfill sites. Unfortunately, this causes greenhouse gases which eventually leads to global warming and climate change.In Denmark, a woman called Selina Juul has been working hard to tackle this problem. She convinced some supermarkets to stop selling their items in quantity so that people bought only what they needed. She's set up an education program in schools. ________________ And when we're at home we should make the most of the food we have — using recipes that use up our leftovers or even sharing our extra food with our friends and neighbours.A. People buy more than they need and throw too much away.B. Or maybe, you're efficient with your shopping, only buying what you need.C. But the biggest contributor to food waste is us.D. Clearly, we need to think twice when shopping.E. We simply need to stop throwing away food and enjoy it instead.F. This has helped create a 25% reduction in food waste.G. It's shocking that a third of the world's food is wasted each year.三、完形填空（共1题；共20分）6.完形填空We have a problem that is deeply rooted in our world today. When it comes to the holidays, people tend to forget that it's the season of giving, 1 the season of receiving. We tend to be more2 about what we'll receive on Christmas morning as opposed to looking at the holidays as3 to help out those who don't have it as good as we do.So, how can we 4 the culture around the holidays and make sure that people are emphasizing the opportunity to 5 as much as they are looking forward to opening up their stockings? During this holiday season, many people receive countless 6 from organizations seeking giftsto help them fulfill their mission: helping the old, providing food for the poor, 7 for the homeless, care for 8 animals and more.Giving 9 is the right thing to do, though many of us are 10 by the task. Whether or not we have much money to 11 , it isn't always easy to 12 what we have worked so hard for, especially when we have set 13 goals—saving for retirement, a vacation or a rainy day.Even with so many reasons to be unwilling, the advantages of giving outweigh them all. When we give to those in need, either 14 to persons or through 15 , we make a positive16 to the lives of others and to our own.As we are reminded, giving ensures that we are not 17 by material things, but free through the abundance of 18 . That we have all things is not because we have a good 19of money in the bank, not because we have skill and intelligence with which to 20 bread, but because we are fortunate enough.

This workshop is part of the Creativity Lab at Home plan. This session is led by Francis Estrada, Assistant Educator, and Hannah Fagin, Coordinator. Ifs open to anyone, but registration is limited and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis.Storytelling Through ArtThere are many ways to tell a story — through words through theater and dance, or through visual art, for example. Discover how artist Jacob Lawrence shared the history of an important event by combining words and art in a series of paintings calledThe Migration Series. For kids ages seven to fourteen. Parent participation is encouraged in this online event. Don' miss the opportunity to spend meaningful time with them.The Human ShelterIn 2016, MoMA opened Insecurities: Tracing Displacement and Shelter, an exhibition that examined how contemporary architecture arid design addressed ideas of shelter in light of global refugee(难民) emergencies. Danish Boris Benjamin Bertram documented the exhibition, and the result is a movie by him asking what makes a home, and, perhaps more importantly, when shelter becomes home. This online event is part of Member events.1.What is special about How to Look at Shape?A.It provides an interactive part.B.It is accessible to everyone.C.It is organized by Michelle Kuo.D.It focuses on MoMA's new collection.2.Which event is family-friendly?A.The Human Shelter.B.How to Look at Shape.C.Storytelling Through Art.D.Draw, Write, and Connect with Others.3.In which aspect might Bertram do well?A.Shelter design.B.Storytelling.C.Art education.D.Film-making.BScott and Daniel Harry are enjoying everyday tasks like shopping and washing for the first time following their move to an accommodation (住宿) support house in Kurwongbah, north of Brisbane last year.Disability Services Queensland’s Strengthening Non-Government Organisations project provided an accommodation support model that would enable residents (居住者) like Daniel and Scott to live more independently.The house is just one of many accommodation support services funded (资助)through the project. The five-bedroom house provides 24-hour care for up to four individuals with complex needs, including medical support. Care and staffing levels are varied and flexible, depending on each resident’s requirements.Scott and Daniel, who have a severe form of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, require 24-hour support in all activities of daily living. Before they moved to the house, they lived with their family. Scott says living at home was difficult as it placed a physical and emotional strain(负担) on their parents who had to wake them several times each night to reposition them or place them on breathing machines.“We were heavyhearted,” says Scott, who is planning to write a book about his life experiences. “But our parents now have a lot moretime for themselves. We now manage ourselves on a day-to-day basis.”Daniel is an enthusiastic gardener, taking care of his own vegetable garden. The men share the house with one other young man, and they go to rugby league games, meeting up with friends.Leeding Care Australia provides the care service at Kurwongbah. Manager Lee Garniss says setting up the facilities (设施) has not been without its challenges.“It is an unconventional model of care,” Lee says. “The home is Scott and Daniel’s home, however it is also a workplace for their support staff. Balancing these two requirements has been a challenge for all.”“We have experienced a bit of a learning phase over the last twelve months. However, by working as a team we try our best to meet the needs of both residents and staff and I think we have achieved the right balance.”4. What do we know about the house Scott and Daniel live in now?A. It was built by their parents.B. It can accommodate four residents.C. It belongs to a governmental project.D. It’s located in the center of Brisbane.5. Why did Scott and Daniel’s parents wake up frequently at night?A. To help them do exercise.B. They were making a lot of noise.C. To check on their breathing.D. They were under emotional pressure.6. How did Scott feel while living with his parents?A. A bit guilty.B. Quite happy.C. Very proud.D. Slightly angry.7. What was a challenge while setting up the facilities?A. Lack of fund.B. No workplace.C. Inexperienced staff members.D. Satisfying both staff and residents’ needs.CGrowing up as kids we are told to share our toys and notto be selfish. We also live in an age when discussing our feelings is encouraged. But when does it all become too much? With new crazes trending all the time, such as dance challenges and wearing a carpet as a dress, the question is: when can sharing become oversharing on social media?“Oversharing” has become associated with social media, but it isn'texclusiveto this platform. Imagine you head to a party and meet x k w someone. Within five minutes they have revealed private details about their life. While some of us may try to escape these people, according to marriage advisor Carolyn Cole, this form of oversharing could come from a strong desire to connect with someone. But how does this translate to social media?Dr. Christopher Hand, a lecturer in cyberpsychology (网络心理学），says the more details people disclose, the less sympathy we express when things go wrong. It seems that searching for sympathy by oversharing is generally considered as negative rather than the cry for help it could really be.However, Dr. Hand's research also seems to suggest that the more we post on a platform, the more socially attractive we become-provided that the posts that we bang out are positive. Even back in 2015, Gwendolyn Seidman PhD said that we should avoid complaining and being negative online. We should also avoid showing off, especially about our love lives. It makes sense-if your date is going “that well", would you really have time to share a photo with text?So, how can you know if you are oversharing? Well, why not ask your friends in real life. They would probablybe happy to tell you if your posts about your breakfast or your complaints about your lack of money really are too much.8. What does the underlined word “exclusive" in paragraph 2 mean?A. Unique.B. Similar.C. Relevant.D. Fundamental.9. Why do some people prefer oversharing at parties?A. To draw others' attention.B. To satisfy others' curiosity.C. To remove negative feelings.D. To develop good relationships.10. Which of the following may Dr. Hand agree with?A. Sharing more details online can attract more sympathy.B. Oversharing negative experiences is equal to crying for help.C. Sharing negative posts can't help one become socially attractive.D. Oversharing isn't likely to happen online when things go wrong.11. According to the text, what should be avoided for online sharing?A. Reflecting on past bad manners.B. Showing a great many expensive goods.C. Writing a recipe for a balanced breakfast.D. Recording unforgettable moments with friends.DAt the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural (建筑学的) medal at the 2021 German iF Design Awards.The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a division at a company in Hangzhou, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li’s husband was on business trips a lot and Li worked overtime on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy.In 2018, they quit jobs and went back to Dongtianmu village, which lies in a forest of bamboo. The first timethey drove into the village was one late afternoon. The cooking smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, which gave them a very different feeling form thecity.The homestay was built beside her husband’s old countryside house. The old house is preserved (保留), while a brand-new building was built on its side and the whole site is made up of for courtyards. It has been updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, a dining room. Japanese cherry trees are planted in the east courtyard. A swimming pool is placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side.Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.12. How did Li feel about city life?A. Satisfied.B. Tired.C. Attractive.D. Noisy.13. What impressed the couple when first driving to the village?A. The smoke of cooking.B. The forest of bamboo.C. The smell of the village.D. The feeling of loneliness.14. What can we infer about the homestay from paragraph 4?A. It is ancient and broken.B. It can hold many guests.C. It has been rebuilt bythe couple.D. It must have been carefully designed.15. What’s more meaningful than earning money according to Li?A. Continuing their music dream.B. Staying at the old house.C. Living in the countryside.D. Developing the economy of cities.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。

2020-2021学年温州市第七中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析
2020-2021学年温州市第七中学高三英语月考试卷及答案解析第一部分阅读（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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AThree Things to Do Before You Are 18Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.★Learn to swimSeriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.★Try at least one kind of team sportsBeing a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.★Collect somethingOne of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.A. you might feel wellB. it can make you healthyC. you might easily do lots of thingsD. it can save your life2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .A. collect somethingB. do some water sportsC. send letters to your friendsD. play basketball with your friends23. The passage is mainly about ________before you are 18.A. good habits to keepB. skills to haveC. things to doD. sports to playBA lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal attack—when a touch of humor might well enable us to win．Consider the case of a young friend of mine，who hita traffic jam on his way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum about beinglate on the job．Although there was a good reason for Sam’s a being late—serious illness at home—he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer．His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech．Yes，the boss was．Sam entered the office at 9：35．The place was as quiet as a locker room；everyone was hard at work．Sam’s supervisor came up to him．Suddenly，Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand．“How do you do！” he said．“I’m Sam Maynard．I’m applying for a job，which，I understand，became available just 35 minutes ago．Does the early bird get the worm？”The room exploded in laughter．The supervisor“clamped off”a smile and walked back to his office．Sam Maynard had saved his job—with the only tool that could win，a laugh．Humor is a most effective，yet frequently neglected，means of handling the difficult situations in our lives．It can be used for patching up differences，apologizing，saying “no”，criticizing，getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losingface．For some jobs，it’s the only tool that can succeed．It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may start a quarrel．For example，many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religious tolerancethan people in any other forum．4. Why was Sam late for his job？A. Because he was ill．B. Because he got up late．C. Because he was caught in a traffic jam．D. He was busy applying for a new job．5. The main idea of this passage is ________．A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humorB. humor is important in our livesC. early bird gets the wormD. humor can solve racial discriminations6. The phrase “clamped off” in Paragraph 3 means ________．A tried to hold back B. tried to setC. chargedD. gave out7. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage？A. Many lose life’s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor．B. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work．C. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8：30．D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems．CWhile space travel still gets lot of attention, not enough attention has been paid to the exploration of oceans, about which we know much less than the dark side of the moon.Ninety percent of the ocean floor has not even been recorded and while we have been to the moon, the technology to explore the ocean's floors is still being developed. For example, a permanent partially-underwater sea exploration station, called the Sea Orbiter, is currently in development.The oceans play a major role in controlling our climate. But we have not learned yet how to use them to cool us off rather than contribute to our overheating. Ocean organisms are said to hold the promise of cures for a wide of the unique eyes of skate (ray fish) led to advances in conquering blindness, the horseshoe crab was important in developing a test for bacterial pollution, and sea urchins helped in the development of test-tube fertilization(人工授精). The toadfish's' ability to regenerate its central nervous system is of much interest to neuroscientists. A recent Japanese study concluded that the drug Eribulin, which was taken from sea sponges, is effective in fighting with breast, colon, and Urinary cancer.Given the approaching crisis of water insufficiency, we badly need to improve current methods, of desalinating(淡化) ocean water and make them more efficient and less costly. By 2025, 1.8 billion people are expected to suffer from severe water shortage, with that number jumping to 3. 9 billion by 2050-well over a third of the entire global population.If the oceansdo not make your heart go beating faster, how about engineering a bacterium that eats carbon dioxide — and thus helps protect the world from overheating — and produces fuel which will allow us to drive our cars and machines, without oil? I cannot find any evidence that people young or old, Americans or citizens of other nations would be less impressed or less inspired with such a breakthrough than with one more set of photos of a faraway galaxy or a whole Milky Way full of stars.8. What does the author think about the ocean exploration?A. It is equal to the space exploration.B. It is well developed.C. It deserves more attention and devotion.D. It is beyond our knowledge.9. What technology has been developed to make use of the oceans?A. Curing human diseases with ocean organisms.B. Preventing the world getting warmer.C. Mapping the global ocean floor.D. Removing salt from sea water.10. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?A. The temperature rise will be overcome by a bacterium.B. Solving the existing problems is more significant.C. The space exploration is worth the efforts.D. The ocean exploration is not inspiring.11. What is the best title of the passage?A. Oceans, the Last Hope.B. Oceans, the Hidden Treasure.C. Space, the Final Frontier.D. Space, the Faraway Dream.DIn a study published in Nature Machine Intelligence, researchers at Ohio State University show how artificial intelligence（AI）can follow clinical trials to identify drugs for repurposing, a solution that can help advance innovative treatments.Repurposing drugs is legal and not unusual. When doctors prescribe(开处方)drugs that have been approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA)for purposes different from what is printed on the labels, the drugs are being used “off-label” Just because a drug is FDA-approved for a specific type of disease does not prevent it from having possible benefits for other purposes.For example, Metformin, a drug that is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, is also used to treat PCOS(a disease of women), and other diseases. Trazodone, an anti-depressant with FDA-approval to treat depression, is also prescribed by doctors to help treat patients with sleep issues.The Ohio State University research team created an AI deep learning model for predicting treatment probability with patient data including the treatment, outcomes, and potential confounders(干扰因素).Confounders are related to the exposure and outcome. For example, a connection is identified between music festivals and increases in skin rashes(红疹). Music festivals do not directly cause skin rashes. In this case, one possible confounding factor between the two may be outdoor heat, as music festivals tend to run outdoors when the temperature is high, and heat is a known cause for rashes. When working with real-world data, confounders could number in the thousands. AI deep learning is well-suited to find patterns in the complexity ofpotentially thousands of confounders.The researcher team used confounders including population data and co-prescribed drugs. With this proof-of-concept, now clinicians have a powerful AI tool to rapidly discover new treatments by repurposing existing medications.12. What do we know about a drug used off-label?A. It is sold without a label.B. It is available at a low price.C. Its uses extend beyond the original ones.D. Its clinical trials are rejected by doctors.13. Metformin and Trazodone are similar as both of them________.A. are used off-labelB. treat rare diseasesC. result in sleep issuesD. are medical breakthroughs14. What can be inferred about “confounders”?A. They are possible treatments.B. They are environmental factors.C. They can be easily recognized in real-world data.D. They should be taken into serious consideration.15. What is the main idea of the text?A. AI examines benefits of existing drugs.B. AI identifies off-label uses for drugs.C. AI finds new drugs for common diseases.D. AI proves the power of drug research.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。

I began by admitting that I’d never had a social-media account; I then outlined arguments for why other peopleshould consider removing social media from their lives. The event organizers uploaded the video of my talk to YouTube. Then it was shared repeatedly on Facebook and Instagram and, eventually, viewed more than five million times. I was both pleased and annoyed by the fact that my anti-social-media talk had found such a large audience on social media.I think of this event as typical of the love-hate relationships many of us have with Facebook, Instagram, and other social-media platforms. On the one hand, we’ve grown cautious about the so-called attention economy, which, in the name of corporate(公司的) profits, destroys social life gradually and offends privacy. But we also benefit from social media and hesitate to break away from it completely. Not long ago, Imet a partner at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., who told me that she keeps Instagram on her phone because she misses her kids when she travels; looking through pictures of them makes her feel better.In recent months, some of the biggest social-media companies, Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have promised various reforms. In March, Mark Zuckerberg announced a plan to move his platform toward private communication protected by end-to-end encryption(端对端加密); later that month, he put forward the establishment of a third-party group to set standards for acceptable content.All of these approaches assume that the reformation of social media will be a complex, lengthy, and gradual process. But not everyone sees it that way. Alongside these official responses, a loose collective of developers that calls itself the IndieWeb has been creating another alternative. They are developing their own social-media platforms, which they say will preserve what’s good about social media while getting rid of what’s bad. They hope to rebuild social media according to principles that are less corporate and more humane(人道的).4. Why did the author feel annoyed when his video was spread online?A. His video caused many arguments.B. His video was shared without his permission.C. His talk was opposed by a large amount of people.D. His video’s popularity on social media is against his talk.5. Why does the author mention the story of his partner in paragraph 2?A. To prove that social media has some benefits.B. To advise people to break away from social media.C. To tell the negative effects social media may produce.D. To describe people’s complicated relationships with social media.6. What is the purpose of the reform made by some social-media companies?A. To attract more users.B. To improve network environment.C. To make more profits.D. To provide more convenientservice.7. What does the IndieWeb intend to do?A. Develop new social-media platforms.B. Remove social media from people’s lives.C. Improve the existing social-media principles.D. Help social-media companies to make reformation.CThe first patient who died on my watch was an older man with a faulty heart. We tried to slow it down with treatment, but it suddenly stopped beating completely. Later, whenever I would have a case like that one, I found myself second-guessing my clinical management. However, it turns out that thinking twice may actually cause more harm than good.In a working paper, Emory University researchers found that when doctors delivering a baby have a bad result, they are more likely to switch to a different delivery method with the next patient, often unnecessarily and sometimes with worse results.Because doctors make so many decisions that have serious consequences, thefalloutfrom second-guessing appears especially large for us. A 2006 study found that if a patient had a bleed after being prescribed (开药) warfarin, the physician was about 20% less likely to prescribe later patients the blood thinner that prevents strokes (中风). However, if a patient was not on warfarin and had a stroke physicians were still no more likely to prescribe warfarin to their other patients.These findings highlight interesting behavioral patterns in doctors. In the blood-thinner study, doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm (prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting doctors were more affected by the act of doing harm(prescribing a blood thinner that ended up hurting a patient) and less affected by letting harm happen (not prescribing a blood thinner and the patient having a stroke). Yet a stroke is often more permanent and damaging than a bleed.But this phenomenon is not unique to medicine. ''Overreaction to Fearsome Risks'' holds true for broader society.For instance, sensational headlines about shark attacks on humans in Florida in 2001 caused a panic and led the state to prohibit shark-feeding expeditions. Yet shark attacks had actually fallen that year and, according to the study, such a change was probably unnecessary given the extremely small risk of such an attack happening.Humans are likely to be influenced by emotional and often irrational (不理性的) thinking when processing information, bad events and mistakes. As much as we don't want to cause an unfortunate event to happen again, we need to be aware that a worst situation that can be imagined doesn't necessarily mean we did anything wrong. When we overthink, we fail to rely on thinking based on what we know or have experienced. Instead, we may involuntarily overanalyze and come to the wrong conclusion.I have treated dozens of patients who presented with the same illnesses as my first patient, who died more than a year ago. Instead of second-guessing myself, I trusted my clinical instinct (本能) and stayed the course. Every one of those patients survived. You should trust your instinct in your life, too.8.

Knightscope says the goal is to reduce crime by half in areas the robots guard.William Santana Li is the chief executive officer of Knightscope. He says，"These robot security guards will change the world. Our planet has more than seven billion people on it. It's going to quickly get to nine billion people. The security equipmentthat we have globally is just not going to develop that fast. The company's Autonomous Data Machines can become the eyes and ears of law enforcement（执法）.""You want them to be machines plus humans. Let. the machines do the heavy and sometimes dangerous work and let the humans do the strategic decision-making work，so it's always working all together."The machines do not carry weapons but they have day and night video cameras which are able to turn 360 degrees and can also sense chemical and biological weapons.Some people may become concerned about their privacy, especially in connection with the video recordings. Some people may worry that such recordings will appear on the Internet. Eugene Volokh, a law professor at the UCLA School of Law, says the machines have to be used in the right way and it will be interesting to see how state laws deal with this kind of video.William Santana Li says there is a long waiting list for the robots in theUS. Workers in the company are working overtime to meet the demands of the market. At least 25 other countries are also interested in these robot security guards.1.

Why are some people worried about the new robots?A. Their privacy may be let out.B. The robots are very expensive.C. Robots will replace humans.D. They will be out of work soon.3. Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A. Robots Are Becoming More PopularB. Robots Contribute aLotto the WorldC. Robots Are in Great Demand NowD. Security Robots Could Help Cut CrimeBHave you ever been on social media and seen your favorite celebrity talking about a product? These promotions might not be totally random, and are actually seen as a vital part of the marketing process. The question is: How do social media influencers ‘influence’ what you buy?Human desire for status and making friends, combined with our need to belong to a group, makes us receptive to being ‘socially influenced’. Companies often use that desire to have a similar lifestyle to a celebrity we admire to sell or launch a product. So, what do these promotions actually do?Firstly, they can be used to build brand awareness. A social media influencer should have a strong understanding of the platform they operate on, and therefore can create appealing content that not only sticks to the brand image, but sparks their followers’ interests in a product they might never have seen before.Secondly, influencers can improve a company or product’s relationship with their customer base. According to InMoment’s 2018 US Retail CX Trends Report on customer loyalty, 77% of buyers have been brand loyal for more than ten years. This is also true of 60% of millennials. A popular celebrity can target key customers and talk or blog about a product, which can create an instant and lasting bond with them.Lastly, influencers can improve customer buying habits with seemingly ‘unbiased opinions’. We are more likely to respond to ‘peer recommendation’ than traditional ads, meaning the fact we see an influencer as a ‘friend’ can make us less likely to be doubtful about what we are seeing.So, the next time you see a celebrity talking about a product, you might want to consider that this could be a carefully worked-out marketing strategy designed to target your core needs. If you find yourself examining a product you’ve seen on social media, you may well have been influenced.4. Why do companies invite celebrities to launch products?A. Because celebrities can improve the companies’ public images.B. Because consumers like to share similarity with celebrities.C. Because celebrities want to make more money.D. Because consumers can make friends with celebrities.5. According to the passage, which strategy is often used by influencers?A. Setting up operation platforms.B. Sending gifts to customers.C. Improving relationship with the company.D. Taking advantage of their popularity.6. To customers, the recommendations of influencers seem to be ________.A. offensiveB. subjectiveC. objectiveD. misleading7. The passage is mainly about ________.A. how social media make adsB. how social media influence our lifestyleC. how social influencers affect our buyingD. how celebrities earn fameCA Chinese space mining company has designed a robot that can capture waste material left behind by spacecraft in outer space with a big net.The state-run Xinhua news agency recently reported that the robot launched on the government's Long March 6 rocket along with several satellites. The robot will also investigate deep space to observe small objects in the universe. The 30-kilogram robot, called NEO-01 , was developed by Origin Space. Pounded in 2019 and based in the southern Chinese tech hub(技术中心)Shenzhen, Origin Space has been devoted to exploring and using space resources, according to the company. The company says the robot will lead the way for future technologies capable of mining on asteroids(小行星).The world's first asteroid mining company, Planetary Resources, was established in 2009. Since then, more than 12 businesses around the world have entered the industry, including 3D Systems of the United States and Japan's Astroscale. Astroscale's technology uses magnets (磁铁)to gather up space waste. But a report on the Origin Space website says NEO-01 will use a net to capture waste and then bum it. Thousands of satellites have been launched worldwide. As they are used too long, many end up as waste and put other operating satellites at risk.Su Meng is the founder of Origin Space. He said the company plans to launch many space telescopes and more spacecraft to begin the first for-profit mining of asteroids by 2045. Su added that NEO-01 will serve as a prototype (雏形)of future space mining robots, which can use rich mineral resources on asteroids to support the development of the space industry.The Xinhua news agency reported that China was increasing efforts to land a spacecraft on a near-Earth asteroid to collectmaterials. China is also speeding up a plan to build a defense system against near-Earth asteroids. The country aims to follow Russia and the United States in becoming a major space power by 2030.8. Which of the following can correctly describe NEO-01?A. It weighs 60 kilograms.B. It was created by Planetary Resources.C. It will be burnt after finishing its mission.D. It is mainly used to catch space waste.9. What can be inferred from the text?A. China will be the most powerful in space by 2030.B. Origin Space will open more mines on asteroids.C. It is those useless satellites that make space waste.D. The robot will look into deep space for more waste.10. What does Su Meng think of NEO-01 ?A. It is promising and rewarding.B. It has benefited the space industry.C. It's a long way to produce it.D. It'll help make money for the company.11. What can be the best title for the text?A. NEO-01 , A Smart Robot Used in SpaceB. A Chinese Robot Can Catch Space WasteC. A New Robot Makes China a SpacePowerD.

故选B。
