Jane Harper.BCatherine Yeo was three years old when she discovered Sudoku(数独) puzzles at the back of magazines and newspapers. She would compete against her mother to see who could fill in the empty cells in the shortest time, often defeating her mother. Soon she developed an interest in math and technology.The 16-year-old from San Jose is currently in her second year at Stanford Online High School, unique for its virtual environment. “Many of my classmates live across the globe, so it’s fascinating to hear diverse viewpoints during our class discussions,” says Yeo. The courses at her school are extremely challenging, but being at an online school allows her to have time to carry out her own projects. Now, Yeo is leading Pixelhacks, a 24-hour hackathon(编程马拉松) for female high school students.Yeo had never seen a men’s bathroom line five times longer than the women’s bathroom line until she attended the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2016. In other public places like airports, theaters and restaurants, it was always the opposite. The great gender ratio (性别比例) difference opened her eyes. “Most computer science classes and robotics teams only had a few girls and the hackathons I attended were occupied by male students,” says Yeo. Out of every 200 hackathon attendees, only anaverage of 15 percent were female. Yeo had helped with local Girls Who Code clubs and organized free coding (编程) workshops at a public library for middle school students. But WWDC made her realize that wasn’t enough. She took action to introduce many girls in her community to the fun, creative side of technology. Eight months later, she stood in front of over 70 young women who were eager to learn to create applications.For two years, Yeo organized Pixelhacks, Northern California’s first all-female high school hackathon where attendees(在场参与者) work together to create a technology project in a limited amount of time. Yeo founded it to expose girls to technology and help them build confidence and acquire fundamental skills. She invited female industry experts to teach all attendees and speak about their experiences. Yeo marketed the event to high schools across the San Francisco Bay Area, especially low-income schools. Right after Pixelhacks I, Yeo saw many familiar faces from Pixelhacks I at other local hackathons and tech events. A mother of a Pixelhacks II attendee said she had hoped her daughter could meet new friends and develop an interest in computer science at Yeo’s hackathon. After the event, she was shocked to hear that her daughter decided to make a career in programming.Being able to observe the influence of her work on so many girls and seeing their interest in computing and technology grow is Yeo’s proudest achievement, Yeo strongly believes that all women are equally talented in technological abilities. The problem of the great gender inequality(性别不平等) lies in the lack of exposure to programming and engineering for many young women. Having access to opportunities to learn about technology can greatly increase a young woman’s interest andconfidence in her skills. “it’s also extremely important to find your teachers and community,” says Yeo. “I’m extremely gr ateful for the many women in the computer industry who have helped me with my project.”24. What does Catherine Yeo like about her school?A. Its focus on technology.B. Its great global influence.C. Its atmosphere of flexibility.D. Its high percentage of girls.25. What gave Catherine Yeo the idea to start Pixelhacks?A. Courses she once took at her school.B. Her great interest in math and technology.C. The lack of bathrooms in some public places.D. The low attendance of girls in a scientific event.26. What problem do girls face when learning about technology?A. It’s hard for them to find qualified teachers.B. They have no interest in technology.C. Limited opportunities are offered to them.D. They are usually poor in mathematics.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Pixelhacks helps poor girl with programmingB. This talented girl is devoted to technical projectsC. There is a gender inequality in the tech industryD. This 16-year-old started her own hackathon for girlsCSkyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century,some scientists suggest,almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition,the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change,we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical(垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally,vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day,it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason,vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.28. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A. Poor state of rural life.B. Shortage of food supply.C. High cost for transporting crops.D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings.29. What is the advantage ofvertical farming?A. It can produce organic food.B. It requires little care.C. It can benefit transport industry.D. It needs very low cost. 30. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?A. Farmable land.B. Crop diseases.C. Light sources.D. Climate conditions. 31. What can be the best title of the test?A. Future Food NeedsB. Symbol of Urban LifeC. Farming on RooftopsD. Farms of the FutureDNearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching anddevelopingartificialintelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can helpfarmers save time and money, whilereducingenvironment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of SwitzerLand. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in searchofweeds.Computer-controlled arms thenlower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart-phone.The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times 1ess herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exactplace required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims was the world’s first smart sprayer. The system —which connects to the back of a tractor(拖拉机) — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice-president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed —and now it’s an expert in pigwe ed.”32. How will AI benefit agriculture?A. It will fund agriculture research.B. It contributes to low-cost farming.C. It can avoid harmful chemicals.D. It frees all farmers from field work.33. What do the products of the two companies have in common?A. They use recognition technology.B. They are powered by solar energy.C. They are connected with smart phones.D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.34. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?A. It is environmentally-friendly.B. It is good at self-improving.C. It has the learning ability.D. It can track various plants.35. What is mainly talked about in the text？A. The experiment in farming robots.B. New trend in artificial intelligence.C. Modern See & Spray technology.D. Artificial intelligence in agriculture.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。

In the coming days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale’s system.Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals.“Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf,” he said. “Of them, 57 have died due to man — whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution — and four were pregnant.”Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. “If we keep going this way, it will be more uncommon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic,” he said.24. What can be inferred from the second paragraph?A. The whale was starved to death.B. Blatchley was shocked at what he found.C. The dead whale must have swallowed a baseball.D. Blatchley didn’t make preparations for the necropsy.25. What will be shown in the D’ Bone Collector Museum?A. Waste collected from the ocean.B. The whole system of the whale.C.

Natural Death or Merciless MurderCA video of a three-year-old girl being kicked by her own mother during a photo shot went viral(疯狂传播)on Thursday, indicating China’s underperformance in regulating the emerging child modeling industry.The girl, known as Niu Niu, was physically abused by her mother in several videos. The videos have annoyed Chinese media and Internet users alike. Many netizens and scholars call for local authorities to carry out further investigations into possible child abuse.In response to the public outcry(强烈抗议), Niu Niu’s mother issued an apology via Sina Weibo on Thursday, condemning accusations of abuse. She noted that she was merely guiding her daughter for better shots and the girl is well looked after.Despite her apology, many E-shops which used Niu Niu’s images for brandpromotion have canceled their cooperation with the mother, while over 110 well-known child garment shops on Taobao have signed up for a campaign to provide better protection for child models.“It is necessary to adopt comprehensive laws and regulations to furthe r protect the kids, preventing their parents and companies from exploiting(利用)them,” Fang Zhiqing, a lawyer and child protection expert, said.Niu Niu is not alone. In Zhili, a small town in Zhejiang province, thousands of children from across China are taken here by their parents to seize the chance of fame. With a population of 450,000, Zhili has over 13,o00manufacturers of child clothing. In 2017, the town earned over 7 billion yuan by selling clothing for children online, thus providing opportunities for child models.“China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable when it comes to the industry of child modeling, as it lacks clear supervision measures and clear legal punishment,” Fang added, “It is important to issue new laws which regulate child modeling.”28. What caused the public outcry?A. Videos showing how child models work.B. Problems in Chinese advertising industry.C. Several cases of child abuse in recent China.D. A girl being physically abused by her mother.29. What happened after the public outcry?A. Taobao canceled the account of Niu Niu.B. The local police charged Niu Niu’s mother.C.

China should regulate child modeling.B. There are too many child models in China.C. New economic laws should be issued in China.D. China’s current advertisement law isn’t workable.DIf you wear glasses, chances are you are smarter. Research published in the famous British journal Nature Communications has found that people who displayed higher levels of intelligence were almost 30 percent more likely to wear glasses.The scientists studied the genes of thousands of people between the ages of 16 and 102. The study showed intelligence can be connected to physical characteristics. One characteristic was eyesight. In 3 out of 10 people who were more intelligent, there was a higher chance they needed glasses. Scientists also said being smarter has other benefits. It is connected to better health.It is important to remember these are connections which are not proven causes. Scientists call this correlation. Just because something is connected to something else does not mean one of those things caused the other. And it’s wor th noting that whatconstitutes intelligence is subjective and can be difficult, if not impossible, to measure.Forget genes though. Plenty of proof shows wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent, even if you do not need glasses. A number of studies have found people who wear glasses are seen as smarter, hard-working and honest. Many lawyers use this idea to help win their cases. Lawyer Harvey Slovis explained this. “Glasses soften their appearance,” he said. Sometimes there has been a h uge amount of proof showing that people he was defending broke the law. He had them wear glasses and they weren’t found guilty.Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. Ideas about people who wear glasses have begun to shift. People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them for fashion only. They want to look worldly or cool. But not everyone is impressed by this idea, though. GQ magazine said people who wear glasses for fashion are trying too hard to look smart and hip(时髦的). However, that hasn’t stopped many celebrities from happily wearing glasses even if they do not need them. Justin Bieber is just one high-profile fan of fashion glasses.32. What does the new study show?A. People wearing glasses are smarter.B. People wearing glasses are healthier.C. Wearing glasses can make people cleverer.D. Wearing glasses is associated with higher IQ.33. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean?A. ShiftB. LinkC. ProofD. Consequence.34. Why do some lawyers ask their clients to wear glasses in court?A. Because it can create a moral image.B. Because it can mislead the witnesses.C. Because it can highlight clients’ qualities.D. Because it can prove the clients’ innocence.35. What is the general attitude to those who wear glasses for fashion?A. Positive.B. Negative.C. MixedD. Indifferent.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。

Wendy Harwood,a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England,who was not part of the study,notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything marketable. “I don’t think it’s the end of the story.” she says. “This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.” To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes. Barro says his team is working on that.

started raining heavily.I hurried to pay for my locker ，but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash.I was$7.00 short，which meant I had to carry the books back home.It would be an exhausting ( 令人疲惫不堪的 ) two-hour journey back homewith all those books.An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem.He asked how much cashI needed.When I told him I was $7 short，he quickly took out the money fromhis wallet.“You don’t have to pay me back，” he said.I was speechless；I didn ’t know whether to take the moneyor come back with the books the next day.A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation.“He’s really nice ，” said the student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me.He always helps people in different ways.”The next day ， I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lendingme the money.He said he forgot about it and didn’t expect I would give it back. “I ’m very happy，” he said ，“ not because I ’m getting my moneyback，but because this is the right way to go—whatever you get from this world，give it back as much as you possibly can.Spread kindness around the worldwith the smallest things you can do.”Later ，I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity organizations.He has been performing these types of acts for years.Earlier，someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness eversince.He taught me a very important lesson in life —we come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing.Whatever we own ， it will become somebody else ’s and whatever we leave ， it will become somebody else ’s.36．Why did the writer need a locker in the school?A． To store his large quantity of books.B． To help him get away from the sudden rain.C． To carry it back home with his

2020届高考一轮英语人教版专题强化训练试题选修8 Unit 4
选修8 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35Ⅰ.阅读理解APygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor ofphonetics, who picks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle,teaches her to speak as educated people do, and thensuccessfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a humanbeing and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course ofall his experiments and exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure, but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, he has a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.语篇解读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。

When five colleagues are forced to go on a corporate retreat in the wilderness, they reluctantly pick up their backpacks and start walking down the muddy path. But one of the women doesn’t come out of the woods. And each of her companions te llsa slightly different story about what happened.21. Which of the following is true of the four books?A. They are all different in the style of writing.B. They all are only available online.C. They all have a presentation of female.D. They are all listed according to the timeline of publication.22. If you want to buy all different editions of a book, which one will cost you most?A. Fresh water.B. Milk and Honey.C. Educated.D. Force of Nature.23. Which author tells readers various feelings or emotions of personal life in his/her book?A. Akwaeke Emezi.B. Rupi Kaur.C. Tara Westover.D. Jane Harper.BCatherine Yeo was three years old when she discovered Sudoku(数独) puzzles at the back of magazines and newspapers. She would compete against her mother to see who could fill in the empty cells in the shortest time, often defeating her mother. Soon she developed an interest in math and technology.The 16-year-old from San Jose is currently in her second year at Stanford Online High Sch ool, unique for its virtual environment. “Many of my classmates live across the globe,so it’s fascinating to hear diverse viewpoints during our class discussions,” says Yeo. The courses at her school are extremely challenging, but being at an online school allows her to have time to carry out her own projects. Now, Yeo is leading Pixelhacks, a 24-hour hackathon(编程马拉松) for female high school students.Yeo had never seen a men’s bathroom line five times longer than the women’s bathroom line until she attended the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2016. In other public places like airports, theaters and restaurants, it was always the opposite. The great gender ratio (性别比例) difference opened her eyes. “Most computer science classes and robotics teams only had a few girls and the hackathons I attended were occupied by male students,” says Yeo. Out of every 200 hackathon attendees, only an average of 15 percent were female. Yeo had helped with local Girls Who Code clubs and organized free coding (编程) workshops at a public library for middle school students. But WWDC made her realize that wasn’t enough. She took action to introduce many girls in her community to the fun, creative side of technology. Eight months later, she stood in front of over 70 young women who were eager to learn to create applications.For two years, Yeo organized Pixelhacks, Northern California’s first all-female high school hackathon where attendees(在场参与者) work together to create a technology project in a limited amount of time. Yeo founded it to expose girls to technology and help them build confidence and acquire fundamental skills. She invited female industry experts to teach all attendees and speak about their experiences. Yeo marketed the event to high schools across the San Francisco Bay Area, especially low-income schools. Right after Pixelhacks I, Yeo saw many familiar faces from Pixelhacks I at other local hackathons and tech events.A mother of a Pixelhacks II attendee said she had hoped her daughter could meet new friends and develop an interest in computer science at Yeo’s hackathon. After the event, she was shocked to hear that her daughter decided to make a career in programming.Being able to observe the influence of her work on so many girls and seeing their interest in computing and technology grow is Yeo’s proudest achievement, Yeo strongly believes that all women are equally talented in technological abilities. The problem of the great gender inequality(性别不平等) lies in the lack of exposure to programming and engineering for many young women. Having access to opportunities to learn about technology can greatly increase a young woman’s interest and confidence in her skills. “it’s also extremely important to find your teachers and community,” says Yeo. “I’m extremely gr ateful for the many women in the computer industry who have helped me with my project.”24. What does Catherine Yeo like about her school?A. Its focus on technology.B. Its great global influence.C. Its atmosphere of flexibility.D. Its high percentage of girls.25. What gave Catherine Yeo the idea to start Pixelhacks?A. Courses she once took at her school.B. Her great interest in math and technology.C. The lack of bathrooms in some public places.D. The low attendance of girls in a scientific event.26. What problem do girls face when learning about technology?A. It’s hard for them to find qualified teachers.B. They have no interest in technology.C. Limited opportunities are offered to them.D. They are usually poor in mathematics.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Pixelhacks helps poor girl with programmingB. This talented girl is devoted to technical projectsC. There is a gender inequality in the tech industryD. This 16-year-old started her own hackathon for girlsCSkyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical(垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.28. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A. Poor state of rural life.B. Shortage of food supply.C. High cost for transporting crops.D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings.29. What is the advantage of vertical farming?A. It can produce organic food.B. It requires little care.C. It can benefit transport industry.D. It needs very low cost.30. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?A. Farmable land.B. Crop diseases.C. Light sources.D. Climate conditions.31. What can be the best title of the test?A. Future Food NeedsB. Symbol of Urban LifeC. Farming on RooftopsD. Farms of the FutureDNearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of SwitzerLand. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart-phone.The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times 1ess herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims was the world’s first smart sprayer. The system — which connects to the back of a tractor(拖拉机) — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice-president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed —and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”32. How will AI benefit agriculture?A. It will fund agriculture research.B. It contributes to low-cost farming.C. It can avoid harmful chemicals.D. It frees all farmers from field work.33. What do the products of the two companies have in common?A. They use recognition technology.B. They are powered by solar energy.C. They are connected with smart phones.D. They can help wanted plants grow rapidly.34. What do Ben Chostner’s words suggest about the robot?A. It is environmentally-friendly.B. It is good at self-improving.C. It has the learning ability.D. It can track various plants.35. What is mainly talked about in the text？A. The experiment in farming robots.B. New trend in artificial intelligence.C. Modern See & Spray technology.D. Artificial intelligence in agriculture.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。

Many people would love to leave their jobs behind and have a lifechanging adventure overseas.They imagine lying under palm trees as the sun goes down.However，life overseas is not always easy，and many are not prepared for the shock of living in an alien culture.The honeymoon periodAt first，for those who actually decide to move abroad，life is an exciting adventure.They enjoy exploring their new surroundings，and life seems like an ex tended holiday.They don’t mind trying the local cui sine and discovering the local culture.They can even afford to practise their foreignlanguage skills without fear of making mistakes.Trouble in paradiseIn many cases，when people consider moving to another country，they often fail to realize how different life will be.As time goes by，they become frustrated when language and cultural misunderstandings become a daily headache.In this stage，the visitors begin to withdraw from life in the host country and avoid spending time with local people in favour of mixing with others from their own cultural background.The road to recoveryGradually，most visitors realize they must accept the differences and not fight against them.This change encourages them to improve their language skills and slowly they manage to do the things they could easily do at home，such as opening a bank account.This newfound confidence enables them to see a side of life which very few tourists get to witness.Adjusting to life abroad can often be a real problem.The secret to overcome it is to stop trying to change your host country. If not，you risk losing your dream and having to return to the old life you wanted to leave behind.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。

AA freshly baked roll is as delightful as a soft, light cloud on a summer’s day. What gives bread much of its appealing texture is gluten(麸质), a group of proteins found in wheat. But in people with celiac disease(乳糜泻), gluten damages the small intestine(肠). Many others may have milder gluten intolerance and avoid foods that contain it.Most gluten-free bread is made from alternative flours such as rice or potato, so ittastes and feels different from wheat bread. Now, however, researchers say that they havefound a way to genetically engineer wheat that contains far less of the most troublesometype of gluten — but still has other proteins that give bread its characteristic taste and springiness.Genetically modified crops are the subject of fierce debate around the world. Thebiggest concern involves the practice of inserting DNA from one species into another, saysFrancisco Barro, a plant biotechnologist. To avoid this genetic crossover, Barro and hiscolleagues used the gene-editing technique CRISPR ／Cas9 to cut selected genes from a wheatgenome(基因组).Their study zeroed in on alpha-gliadins(α-胶质蛋白), gluten proteins believed to bewheat’s major troublemakers in the immune s ystem. The researchers designed bits of genetic material that directed the scissor-like Cas9 protein to cut out 35 of the 45 alpha-gliadin genes.When the modified wheat was tested in a Petri dish, it produced an 85 percent weaker immune response, the team reported online last September in Plant Biotechnology Journal. Wendy Harwood, a crop geneticist at the John Innes Center in England, who was not part of the study, notes that the engineered wheat has a long way to go before it can be turned into anything m arketable. “I don’t think it’s the end of the story.” she says. “This is just a really important step in maybe producing something that is going to be incredibly useful.” To develop a completely safe strain of wheat for celiac patients，the researchers may need to target more of the gluten genes. Barro says his team is working on that. 21. What’s the text mainly about? A. Making gluten-free bread. B. Advantages of gluten-free wheat. C. Debate about genetically modified crops. D. Developing genetically engineered wheat. 22. Why is bread mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To advertise a new study. B. To raise the topic to be written about. C. To provide some advice for the readers. D. To popularize some information about medicine. 23. What concerns people most according to paragraph 3? A. Genetic crossover. B. Gene-editing technique. C. The practice of using DNA. D. The subject of fierce debate. 24. What’s Wendy Harwood’s attitude towards engineered wheat? A. A little alarmed. B. Mildly surprised. C. Somewhat opposed. D. Cautiously optimistic. B British Women Writers in different periods of time The English Renaissance The English Renaissance began in the later part of the fifteenth century and lasted until the 1660s. Among the most famous women writers of this period is Aphra Behn, who is seen as the first professional woman writer in English. Aphra Behn’s works include also 此卷只装订不密封 班级姓名准考证号考场号座位号the plays The Amourous Prince, The Town Fop, The Dutch Lover and her only tragedy, Abdelazer.The neoclassical periodAmong the well-known women in British literature during the neoclassical period, from 1660 to the end of the eighteenth century, is Anne Finch. She wrote poetry and tried to express all that she saw and experienced. Another woman was recognized for her contribution to neoclassical British literature: Mary Astell. Mary Astell was a philosopher and a feminist writer. She is best known now for her theories on the education of women.The Romantic periodJane Austen is one of the most famous women writers that worked during the Romantic period (1798-1832). Her works include several novels, most of which focus on marriage as a way for young women to secure social standing and economic security. Her most famous novels are Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma.The Victorian periodThe Victorian period, between the 1830s and 1900, was the time when the Bronte sisters, George Eliot and Elizabeth Gaskell lived and wrote. Charlotte Bronte, Emily Bronte and Anne Bronte produced many British literary classics. Mary Anne Evans adopted the male pen name George as she wanted to set herself apart from the feminine genre(女性主义流派) of cookbooks and domestic moral tales. Her most famous novel is The Mill on the Floss published in 1860.25. According to the passage, Aphra Behn was famous for ________.A. novelsB. poetryC. playsD. cookbooks26. According to the passage, why did Mary Anne Evans publish her stories under the name of George Eliot?A. Women were forbidden to write novels then.B. Her works would be different.C. It helped promote her works.D. It sounded more popular.27. If a reade r is interested in women’s education, whose works can be the best choice?A. Anne Finch’s.B. Mary Astell’s.C. Mary Wortley Montagu’s.D. Mary Shelley’s.CRegardless of how far we’d like to believe gender(性别) equality in the workplace has come, there’s still a yawning gap between male and female leaders in the professional world.A 2018 statistic shows that women nowadays hold just 5.8 percent of CEOs positions at S&P 500 companies, according to Catalyst.While it’s not a huge shock that women are somewhat underrepresented in leadership positions, what is surprising though, is the fact that females may actually be better suited to lead in almost every area, at least according to new findings from the BI Norwegian Business School.In their research, Professor Oyvind L. Martinsen and Professor Lars Glas surveyed (调查) 2,900 managers with a special focus on personality types. The results were clear: Women scored higher than men in four of the five major leadership-centric categories.While some people believe that men inherently make better leaders —probably because they picture a leader with a commanding voice, which is more typical of men than women —this piece of research suggests that women are better at methodical management and goal-setting, openness, sociability and supportiveness, as well as ability to communicate clearly.There was one area in which men scored higher than women, though, and that was on emotional stability and ability to face job-related pressure and stress. The results suggest that women are more sensitive to the effects of high-pressure or highly emotional situations.Obviously, it’s important to consider individual (个人的) differences. Anyone, regardless of gender, may be an inspiring leader and a competent boss. But next time you’re hiring for a management position, you just might want to give the resumes (简历) from female candidates a harder look.28. What makes us shocked much at leadership positions?A. Women are worse than men.B. Men take almost all high positions.C. There is a huge gap between genders.D. Women might behave better in nearly every field.29. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “inherently” in Paragraph 4?A. properlyB. potentiallyC. naturallyD. normally30. Which of the following may be the best title of this text?A. How We Can Figure Out The Boss2B. Why Women Are Better Than MenC. Why Women Make The Best BossesD. How We Can Tell Gender Difference31. Who might have special interest in this article?A. Job hunters.B. Employers.C. Employees.D. Male bosses.DUniversity of New South Wales has launched its new 12-month Women in Maths & Science Champions Program designed to give women the skills and confidence to build their public recognition and set up a connected network of women in maths and science. The first group of 30 female PhD students started in August this year, and the second group of 19 early-career researchers was formally announced yesterday.Over the 12 months, the champions complete at least 20 hours of related activities as part of a community of representatives who will influence and inspire women to pursue a career in maths and science. The activities are varied, ranging from visiting schools and conducting science presentations, to attending conferences and creating content for social media. At th e end of the program, PhD champions have the chance to apply everything they’ve learned to the Postgraduate Research Competition. Above all, participating is a requirement for program completion.Rose O’Dea, a member of the first group, is a PhD candidate at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences. She said, “I’m excited about the opportunity to work with school children. I hope to inspire some girls so they see not all scientists are older men in lab coals and that science is quite diverse and means different things depending on who you are.”Dr. Mariana Mayer Pinto is an early-career researcher at the School of Biological, Earth and Environmental Sciences, where she mainly works with marine(海洋的) ecologists. She is originally from Brazil and said that being a woman from a developing country meant she knew the struggles that lack of role models can create. “You can’t be what you can’t see!I always have the hope that I can change the world bit by bit, and if one little girl says she can become a scientist because I talked to them, that’d be awesome, and that would make everything worth it.”32. What is the program intended to do?A. Test female PhD’s learning results.B. Promote the equality of men and women.C. Set up an organization for women scientists.D. Improve women’s participation in math and science.33. What is required if a participant want to complete the program?A. To persuade as least one female to take up science.B. To participate in at least 20 hours of related activities.C. To apply what they have learnt to their graduation paper.D. To work as a representative to give presentations.34. What does Rose O’Dea think about science?A. Varied.B. Inspiring.C. Unchangeable.D. Exciting.35. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To share how family background matters.B. To show the overall(全面的) results of this program.C. To add an example of how a participant(参与者) feels.D. To tell of role models to encourage female students.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。

A 参见上题解析.notice“注意到”；record“记录”；remember“记得”；track“跟踪”.11．C 根据上文中的“the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree”和下文中的“I seem now…to hear and see”可知，此处指的应是作者以前不会注意到的东西.play“轻快变幻的动作，闪烁”，the play of sunlight on water“阳光在水面上的闪烁”.12．B 作者重新找回了童年时期看待事物的新鲜感.recovered“重新获得的，重新找到的”，符合语境.13．C 比如，回想起自己卧床两年后重新踏上这片土地的感觉有多好.for instance“比如，例如”，符合语境.in contrast“相反”；in return“作为回报”；by chance“偶然地”.14．B 这就像在一个差点失去的世界中重新获得公民身份一样.regain“重新得到”和下文的“lost”相对应.maintain“维持”；discover“发现”；forget“忘记”.15．A 作者经常提醒自己要记下这个自己现在生活的时刻，因为活在此刻，作者是健康且快乐的，而且能做自己最喜欢做的事情.remind“提醒”，符合语境.promise“许诺，允诺”；convince“使相信”.16．B 参见上题解析.moment“时刻”；inspiration“灵感”.17．A 参见第15题解析.pleased“快乐的，高兴的”；courageous“勇敢的”；confident“自信的”；strong“坚强的”.下文中的“I'm wiser now，a little，and happier”亦是提示.18．D 它不会总是如这般存在，因此作者会充分利用它并心存感激.上下文之间是因果关系，故用therefore.meanwhile“与此同时”；otherwise“否则”；however“然而”.19．B 作者将这一切都归功于他卧病在床的那段漫长时光.owe...to...“把……归功于……”，是固定用法.***短文改错.Dear Tom，I'm Li Hua, a student of Rongguang Middle School.

I was a college freshman and had stayed up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first class of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a pillow. A few minutes' nap time before class couldn't hurt, I thought.Boom! I lifted my head immediately and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my heart beating quickly trying to find the cause of the noise. My young professor was looking back at me with a mischievous,_boyish smile on his face. He had intentionally dr opped the pile of textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning！” he said, still smiling. “I'm glad to see everyone is awake. Now let's get started.”For the next hour I wasn't sleepy at all. It wasn't from the shock of my professor's textbook alarm clock either. Instead, it was from the attractive discussion he led. With knowledge and good humor, he made the material come alive. His insights were full of both wisdom and loving kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy which he taught with were contagious (有感染力的). I left the classroom not only wide awake, but a little smarter and a little better as well.I learned something far more important than not sleeping in class that day too.I learned that if you are going to do something in this life, do it well, do it with joy, and make it an expression of your love.

How can you help kids cope with stress? Proper rest and goodnutrition can improve coping skills, so can good parenting. Make time foryour kids each day. Whether they need to talk with you or just be in thesame room with you, make yourself available.Even as kids get older, quality time is important. It’s really hard for some people to come home after a tiring day of work, get down on the floor, and play with their kids or just talk to them about their day—especially if they’ve had a stressful day themselves. But expressing interest in your kids shows that they’ re important to you.Help your child deal with stress by talking about what may be causing it. Together, you can come up with a few solutions. For example, he should cut back on after-school activities, spending more time talking with his parents or teachers, developing an exercise plan or keeping a journal.You can also help by predicting potentially stressful situations and preparing kids for them. For example, let a child know ahead of time, but not too far ahead of time, that a doctor’s appointment is coming up and talk about what will happen there. Keep in mind, though, that younger kids probably won’t need too much advance preparation. Too much information can cause more stress.Remember that some level of stress is normal. Let kids know that it’s OK to feel angry, scared, lonely or anxious and that other people share those feelings, too.When kids can’t or won’t discuss these problems, try talking about your o wn concerns. This shows that you’re willing to handle tough topics and are available to talk with when they’re ready. If a child shows symptoms that concern you and is unwilling to talk, consult a counselor (顾问)or other mental health experts.Most parents have the skills to cope with their children’s stress. The time to seek professional attention is when any change in behavior continues to exist,when stress is causing serious anxiety, or when the behavior is causing significant problems in functioning at school or at home.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文, 讲述的是如何帮助孩子处理压力的事情。

Which author tells readers various feelings or emotions of personal life in his/her book?A. Akwaeke Emezi.B. Rupi Kaur.C. Tara Westover.D. Jane Harper. BCatherine Yeo was three years old when she discovered Sudoku(数独) puzzles at the back of magazines and newspapers. She would compete against her mother to see who could fill in the empty cells in the shortest time, often defeating her mother. Soon she developed an interest in math and technology.The 16-year-old from San Jose is currently in her second year at Stanford Online High School, unique for its virtual environment. “Many of my classmates live across the globe,此卷只装订不密封班级 姓名 准考证号 考场号 座位号so it’s fascinating to hear diverse viewpoints during our class discussions,” says Yeo. The courses at her school are extremely challenging, but being at an online school allows her to have time to carry out her own projects. Now, Yeo is leading Pixelhacks, a 24-hour hackathon(编程马拉松) for female high school students.Yeo had never seen a men’s bathroom line five times longer than the women’s bathroom line until she attended the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in 2016. In other public places like airports, theaters and restaurants, it was always the opposite. The great gender ratio (性别比例) difference opened her eyes. “Most computer science classes and robotics teams only had a few girls and the hackathons I attended were occupied by male students,” says Yeo. Out of every 200 hackathon attendees, only an average of 15 percent were female. Yeo had helped with local Girls Who Code clubs and organized free coding (编程) workshops at a public library for middle school students. But WWDC made her realize that wasn’t enough. She took action to introduce many girls in her community to the fun, creative side of technology. Eight months later, she stood in front of over 70 young women who were eager to learn to create applications.For two years, Yeo organized Pixelhacks, Northern California’s first all-female high school hackathon where attendees(在场参与者) work together to create a technology project in a limited amount of time. Yeo founded it to expose girls to technology and help them build confidence and acquire fundamental skills. She invited female industry experts to teach all attendees and speak about their experiences. Yeo marketed the event to high schools across the San Francisco Bay Area, especially low-income schools. Right after Pixelhacks I, Yeo saw many familiar faces from Pixelhacks I at other local hackathons and tech events.A mother of a Pixelhacks II attendee said she had hoped her daughter could meet new friends and develop an interest in computer science at Yeo’s hackathon. After the event, she was shocked to hear that her daughter decided to make a career in programming.Being able to observe the influence of her work on so many girls and seeing their interest in computing and technology grow is Yeo’s proudest achievement, Yeo strongly believes that all women are equally talented in technological abilities. The problem of the great gender inequality(性别不平等) lies in the lack of exposure to programming and engineering for many young women. Having access to opportunities to learn about technology can greatly increase a young woman’s interest and confidence in her skills. “it’s also extremely important to find your teachers and community,” says Yeo. “I’m extremely grateful for the many women in the computer industry who have helped me with my project.”24. What does Catherine Yeo like about her school?A. Its focus on technology.B. Its great global influence.C. Its atmosphere of flexibility.D. Its high percentage of girls.25. What gave Catherine Yeo the idea to start Pixelhacks?A. Courses she once took at her school.B. Her great interest in math and technology.C. The lack of bathrooms in some public places.D. The low attendance of girls in a scientific event.26. What problem do girls face when learning about technology?A. It’s hard for them to find qualified teachers.B. They have no interest in technology.C. Limited opportunities are offered to them.D. They are usually poor in mathematics.27. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Pixelhacks helps poor girl with programmingB. This talented girl is devoted to technical projectsC. There is a gender inequality in the tech industryD. This 16-year-old started her own hackathon for girlsCSkyscrapers(摩天大楼) are the symbol of urban life. City people are used to seeing tall buildings and apartments. Farms, on the other hand, are associated with rural(农村的) life. However, there are experts who think skyscrapers should become farms to meet the increasing food needs.By the middle of this century, some scientists suggest, almost 80% of the earth’s population could live in cities. In addition, the population could increase to 9.1 billion people during that time yet the amount of land available for farming will be the same. If current farming practices don’t change, we will need an area of new land to produce enough food for the planet.Vertical(垂直的) farms, where urban farmers could grow crops in environmentally friendly skyscrapers, could be the solution. In spite of concerns over high costs, experts want to make it a reality and use these skyscrapers to grow crops.Vertical farms would have many advantages, supporters say. Unlike traditional farming, vertical farming could be free of chemicals and diseases. Besides, crops would not suffer from problems like flooding. Finally, vertical farms would reduce the cost and negative effects of transporting food over long distances.Some argue that although crops growing in a tall glass building would get natural sunlight during the day, it wouldn’t be enough. For this reason, vertical farms would need additional light sources(来源), such as artificial light.Another way of growing fresh food is to build urban farms on rooftops. This more practical approach may be more achievable than the idea of farms in skyscrapers, researchers suggest. Experts agree that innovative(革新的) farming practices are needed to support the need for more food at affordable costs, both to the farmer and to the consumer, but the best ideas could be yet to come.28. What primary problem could vertical farming settle?A. Poor state of rural life.B. Shortage of food supply.C. High cost for transporting crops.D. Environmental pollution by transitional farmings.29. What is the advantage of vertical farming?A. It can produce organic food.B. It requires little care.C. It can benefit transport industry.D. It needs very low cost.30. What is a big challenge to make vertical farming a reality?A. Farmable land.B. Crop diseases.C. Light sources.D. Climate conditions.31. What can be the best title of the test?A. Future Food NeedsB. Symbol of Urban LifeC. Farming on RooftopsD. Farms of the FutureDNearly every week, we hear news about the latest successes and failures in driverless vehicles. But we hear little about how other industries are developing this same kind of technology. One industry heavily involved in researching and developing artificial intelligence, or AI, is agriculture. Companies are experimenting with high-tech tools that can help farmers save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals.One of the companies is ecoRobotix of SwitzerLand. It created a robot equipped with AI and cameras to identify all plants on a farm. The robot has four wheels to carry it through the fields in search of weeds. Computer-controlled arms then lower and spray the weeds with small amounts of herbicide(除草剂). Company officials say the robot can fully operate on its own for up to 12 hours a day while being powered by the sun. It uses the same kind of sensor and positioning technology used to guide driverless vehicles. A farmer can also control the equipment through a smart-phone.The co-founder of ecoRobotix, Aurelien Demaurex, says the farm robot can kill weeds with 20 times 1ess herbicide than traditional methods. This is because the system uses exactly the right amount of chemical in the exact place required to kill the weeds. Currently, farmers spread weed killers over massive areas to destroy unwanted plants.Another company developing farm robotics is California-based Blue River Technology. The company has a system called “See & Spray”, which it claims was the world’s first smart sprayer. The system — which connects to the back of a tractor(拖拉机) — is also equipped with AI to identify and chemically kill only the weeds. It can also spray chemicals on wanted plants to help them grow. Ben Chostner, vice-president of business development for Blue River Technology, explains in a company video that See & Spray technology uses the same deep learning methods used in facial recognition. “The first time the machine saw a pigweed, it didn’t know what kind of plant it was. But we taught it — by giving it tens of thousands of examples of that pigweed —and now it’s an expert in pigweed.”32. How will AI benefit agriculture?A. It will fund agriculture research.B.

The software, called Nestor, is used in two online classes at the ESG business school beginning in September.The idea, according to LCA founder Marcel Saucet, is to use the data that Nestor collects to improve the performance of both students and professors. The software uses students webcams（网络摄像机）to analyze eye movements and facial expressions and determine whether students are paying attention to a video lecture. It then formulates quizzes based on the content covered during moments of inattentiveness. Professors would also be able to identify moments when students’ attention declined, which could help to improve their teaching, Saucet says.Advocates for AI in education say that the software is actually unable to teach a course, but the technology could be used as a digital tutor that would adapt to a student’s individual needs, and help develop more effective studyinghabits. Such software could also help teachers by providing feedback on the effectiveness of their teaching, advocates say.Rose Luckin, a professor at the University College London Knowledge Lab, says AI could unlock the “black box ofle arning” by providing information on how and when learning happens. Luckin says a program like Nestor could be usefulfor students who take classes remotely, since “there isn’t a human there watching them.” And while some are concerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckin sees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees. “Human contact is not going to go away,” he says. “There will always be professors.”1.How does Nestor work to find out when students aren’t paying attention?A. By collecting the data of students’ performance in different classes.B. By collecting the students’ grades in the quizzes.C. By shooting and analyzing students’ eye movements and facial expressions..D. By identifying moments when students’ attention declined.2.Which is the benefit of AI education?A. It could be used exactly to replace a tutor.B. It helps student to develop more effective studying habits.C. The software is able to satisfy the requirement of a course.D. It could help te achers to give feedback on students’ performance..3.How does Nestor deal with the information collected from students?A. Nestor will use it to suggest possible study time to students’ schedule.B. It won’t store any video footage but facial expression.D. Nestor will use it to keep track online of students’ behavior and punish them.4.What is Rose Luckin’s attitude towards the replacement of teachers with AI?A. Objective.B. Approving.C. Indifferent.D. Opposed.【文章大意】本文介绍新的软件Nestor.它通过对学生眼球运动和面部表情的拍摄和分析来判断学生是否注意力集中.这种软件只对教学其辅助作用并不能替代老师.2.B 【解析】细节理解题.根据第三段第一句Advocates for AI ineducation say that the software is actually unable toteach a course, but the technology could be used as adigital tutor that would adapt to a student’sindividual needs, and help develop more effectivestudying habits.可知AI education帮助学生养成更有效的学习习惯.故选B.4.D 【解析】推理判断题.根据最后一段中And while some areconcerned that AI may one day replace teachers, Luckinsees the technology more as an assistant, rather than a replacement. Saucet agrees.可知Rose Luckin’对AI成为老师的替代品持反对意见.故选D.二、教材与语法填空根据教材课文内容，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式.My Fair Lady was the title of a 1.___________ (success)musical and later it was also made into a film 2.___________ (base) on George Bernard Shaw’s classic Pygmalion.

2020年高考一轮复习英语人教版：选修8 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练
选修8 Unit 4 高考试卷分块专练阅读理解提速练(4篇阅读＋1篇七选五，限时35分钟)Ⅰ.阅读理解APygmalion is a drama in which Shaw has made sentiments one of the principle themes of discussion. The Greek sculptor Pygmalion carved a statue and fell in love with it. Aphrodite (the goddess of love) turned the statue into a living woman named Galatea, who then became Pygmalion's wife.The Shavian Pygmalion is Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, whopicks up a flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, teaches her to speak as educated peopledo, and then successfully passes_her_off_as a duchess. But she is a humanbeing and cannot be treated as a machine. In the course of all his experimentsand exhibitions, the professor only thinks of his own skill success and failure,but never stops to consider how the girl feels. When the experiment is over, hehas a profound sense of relief that he has achieved triumph and has won his bet. Even now，the sentiment of the girl is of no account. The girl naturally protests against this dehumanized relationship between her and her teacher. She hurls the professor's slippers at him when he wants them and then leaves his place. But evidently, she has begun to feel for the professor and wants also to be felt for.Now the question is what is the nature of Eliza's feelings for the professor with whom she has lived in close association for so long? In the last act, the girl says she would not marry him even if he had proposed (求婚) to her. The professor, curiously ineffectual (无效的) to sexual emotions, does not love any girl because he finds them to be rivals (对手) to his own mother. He wonders, if Eliza does not want to marry him, then what does she want from him? Old Mrs. Higgins, who knows much about a woman says that it would have been better if he had thanked her and petted her and told her how wonderful she had been. Then perhaps she would not have fought with him. Every girl loves to be loved. Eliza herself says that she loves Freddy and he also loves her. Professor Higgins, however, remains as ever, an old bachelor.语篇解读：萧伯纳的著名戏剧《卖花女》具有经久不衰的艺术魅力，描述的是语言学教授希金斯如何把一名卖花姑娘训练成英语发音被上流社会接受并认可的故事，从而抨击了当时英国腐朽保守的等级意识。
