B Rain beat against the window, matching my mood. I should have known that my new job at the hospital was too good to be true. Throughout the day, rumors (传言) warned that the newest employee from each department would be laid off. I was the newest one in the training department. My boss appeared. “You probably know we’re cutting back,” he said. “Administration wants us to offer outplacement classes to help those employees find other jobs, showing them how to act in an interview, for example.” “Fine,” I answered unwillingly, not knowing what else to say. I decided to go home early that day. In the hall, I met the lady who brought us cookies every Friday. She was a little woman with gray hair. Only her head and the top of her green apron (围裙) were visible over the cart (小车) loaded with cleaning supplies. At least she had a job! At the final meeting, laid-off workers formed a line at the door. A colleague whispered, “I can’t believe our Cookie Lady is being laid off. We’ll miss her as much as we’ll miss her cookies.” When the colleague spoke to her in Spanish, I knew my classes would be useless for her and I realized how much better off I was than this poor woman. I decided to do something for her. I wrote to a newspaper expressing how I felt about the unselfishness of the Cookie Lady who needed a job. A few days later, my article appeared in the newspaper and the Cookie Lady was allowed to stay in her position. On the same day, I received a letter, which seemed so unlikely that I read it twice. “An editor of a local magazine likes your piece and wants you to call her next time you’re looking for work…” 4. How did the author feel on that rainy day? A. Nervous. B. Excited. C. Embarrassed. D. Proud. 5. What was the author asked to do? A. Take care of patients. B. Leave earlier that day. C. Help the laid-off workers. D. Give up the job in the hospital. 6. How did the author help the Cookie Lady? A. He offered her a high-paid job. B. He gave her advice on job hunting. C. He made her story known to others. D. He taught her how to pass an interview. 7. What does the story tell us? A. Good deeds have their rewards. B. A friend in need is a friend indeed. C. Little people can make a big difference. D. Love brings more joy to people than work does. C Flying through the skies of New York with its tall buildings can be a real challenge for birds migrating (迁徙) from Central or South America to the Arctic Circle during the spring and fall migration seasons. Fortunately, more and more of them can reach their destination thanks to the help of kind humans. Project Safe Flight is a program from New York City Audubon, a community that has been working to protect birds in NYC for over 40 years. This project helps save injured birds that collide (相撞) with the reflective glass so common in many tall buildings. Each time these volunteers find a survivor, they take it to the Wild Bird Fund. Its purpose is to provide medical care to native and passing migrant wildlife so that they can be released (释放) back into the wild. Under their care, these feathered friends can rest, are properly fed, and are also given the medical treatment they need. Once the patients feel better, they spend time with other recovered birds until they become healthy enough to return to freedom. This takes place in the spring, when they’re released in Central Park, or in the fall, when they’re released out of town to make sure that their path doesn’t take them in the neighborhood of lower Manhattan’s dangerous buildings. Nearly a billion birds are killed each year in the US from collisions with windows, the Audubon Society reports. In New York City alone, between 90 and 230 thousand migratory birds die yearly from window collisions, as detailed by Curbed. This occurs mostly during the spring and fall migration seasons. Bright lights and reflective glass buildings attract and then befuddle birds because they look through them and they think they’re seeing the sky. So the dBird database is key to making policymakers learn more clearly about specific hotspots (多事之地) and thus take preventive steps accordingly to protect the lovely creatures. These include making sure that visual indicators (视觉指示器) are added to tall buildings, or that lights are turned off at night. 8. How do the volunteers help injured birds? A. By taking injured birds home. B. By releasing injured birds back into the wild. C. By having injured birds taken good care of. D. By equipping buildings with visual indicators. 9. What is the purpose of the fifth paragraph? A To explain the side effects of migration. B. To introduce some human threats to birds. C. To draw more attention to the Audubon community. D. To show the importance of the Project Safe Flight program. 10. What does the underlined word “befuddle” in the last paragraph mean? A. Trap. B. Injure. C. Confuse. D. Assist. 11. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Watching Birds in New York B. Helping New York Birds C. Taking Good Care of Birds D. Setting Up a Program in New York D Virtual reality is quickly becoming the new technological frontier. Tech companies everywhere seem to be racing to get their foot in the VR door. However, virtual reality has a set of challenges and hurdles that it must overcome in order to work well. It should be noted that VR is heavily dependent on being very fast, very accurate and very good-looking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel motion sick or disconnected from the world that VR is trying to create. Now that we can actually build VR headsets that begin to meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, so does the interest in creating new media to be experienced in using virtual reality. Journalism is a medium built on relevance. Journalists should always be finding new ways to tell stories and deliver content. It is a goldmine for storytelling. What better ways to tell a story to someone than to put them right in the center of it? Virtual reality is a powerful tool for journalists. The consumer isn’t just reading or watching something play out; they’re experiencing it. The immersive nature of VR allows for people to connect with the subject matter on a much deeper level than just reading about it. The experience is emotional, speaking more to our instinct than our intellect. The possibilities for storytelling here are legion, and any storyteller wanting to do something more interesting than their peers should surely be considering the sheer power of VR. The question of virtual reality, though, is not how powerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The question of VR is one of viability and availability. Telling stories must be easy to do, and access to those stories must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tools to tell a story with VR aren’t easy to pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technology isn’t both top-of-the-line and affordable, VR will fail. Accessibility was one concern for Thomas Hallaq, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications, who said that current VR technology, is pretty exclusive right now. Despite that, he said he doesn’t think the exclusivity of this technology will be a problem in the long run. “I think it’s very promising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing more technology become accessible, and more people having access to that technology. Just look at smartphones.” Like radio, TV and the Internet before it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stories. 12. Why is VR considered a powerful tool for journalism? A. Because it is an exclusively new tool. B. Because it is very powerful and popular. C. Because people can experience the story in person. D. Because it is very fast, accurate and good-looking. 13. According to the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing? A. How powerful and interesting it can be. B. Whether people will have easy access to it. C. Whether qualified VR headsets can be built. D. What new ways people will find to deliver content. 14. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of VR technology? A. Optimistic. B. Neutral. C. Pessimistic. D. Concerned. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A The Wide Popularity of Virtual Reality B. The Future Development of Virtual Reality C. Challenges and Hurdles of Virtual Reality D. Virtual Reality is the Future of Storytelling 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Just Dance, the popular dance platform by Ubisoft is working on becoming more and more accessible.

It was a really cold winter day. Without a coat that is too expensive for me to afford, I headed to the downtown for an interview. I sat down in the streetcar, and there against those scats was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle decorated with gold scrolls, among which there was a name carved. On impulse (冲动) I determined to find the owner myself. I got off the streetcar and searched a telephone book for the name. I found it immediately and called it. waiting patiently, and then a lady answered. “Yes,” she said in surprise, with extreme excitement. “It was my umbrella which had been stolen a year ago.” So appealing was her pleasure that I forgot I was looking for a job and went directly to her small house. She took the umbrella with teary eyes, explaining with choking voice that the umbrella was given by her parents, now dead. She would like to offer me some reward as an expression of her gratitude. But I refused and left. The following days were hard. I could only obtain temporary employment, for a small salary. What was worse, I had just lost my last job before Christmas, with only fifteen dollars left. Unless a miracle happened, I would be homeless in January, foodless and jobless. The air was full of Christmas merriment, with the bells ringing and children shouting in the bitter dusk of the evening. But there should be no Christmas for me. Thinking of this, I couldn’t control my tears on my way home, but I managed a smile so I could greet my little daughter. She opened the door for me and threw herself in my arms, dreaming joyously and demanding desirably for her Christmas gift. There I stood, frozen overwhelmed by sadness. 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置答题。 Paragraph 1: Suddenly, the doorbell rang and Peggy ran immediately to answer it, calling that it must be Santa Claus. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Just when I was doubting whether the package had been addressed to the wrong place, a note attached to it caught my eyes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CABAC 6-10BBACA 11-15 CBACC 16-20 BCABB 重庆市朝阳中学高一月考 英 语 试 题 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Then I heard a man talking to her. A slight feeling of doubt swept over me, so I went to the door. There was a delivery man handing a large package to my girl whose arms had been full. “It can’t be ours,” I said. “This must be a mistake.” But he rechecked the name, saying that it was for me. Peggy and I took the package in, exchanging confused looks. I was at a loss what to do next. What a surprise! Who could be the warm-hearted sender? Just when I was doubting whether the package had been addressed to the wrong place, a note attached to it caught my eyes. It read “Thanks for returning the umbrella. Merry Christmas.” When I saw the note, all doubts were erased from my mind. It had been sent by the lady who owned the umbrella. Holding the note tightly, I couldn’t control my tears, a stream of warmth coming over me. I forgot that I only had fifteen dollars left in my pocket. As I watched Peggy unwrapping the gifts one by one on the ground, with a big grin on her face, I felt my life was full of hope again. 1-5 CABAC 6-10BBACA 11-15 CBACC 16-20 BCABB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
