Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of that, you need to juggle(应付)schoolwork, extracurriculars, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some good jobs for you to start gaining working experience. Tutor Straight-A student? Then a job as a tutor(家庭教师)might be the best option for you. Helping younger students with their homework is a great way to put what you’ve studied to good use and make some extra money. One of the easiest ways to show that you’re qualified to teach other students is by listing your GPA(Grade Point Average) on your tutor resume. Dog Walker Love dogs? Then a position as a dog walker is the perfect fit for you. Dog walking requires no work experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or an interview before people trust you with their pets. Delivery Driver If you’re 16+ years old and have a driver’s license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you’re responsible and work well under pressure. Call Center Representative If you don’t mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your resume. 1. Who are the passage intended for? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. Employers. 2. What qualifies you as a tutor? A. Relevant experience. B. Timely homework completion. C. Flexible time schedule. D. Impressive academic performance. 3. Which job requires good social skills? A. Tutor. B. Dog walker. C. Delivery driver. D. Call center representative. 【答案】1. C 2. D 3. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了几种学生可以从事的工作。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“On top of that, you need to juggle(应付)schoolwork, extracurriculars, and your social life.”（除此之外，你还需要兼顾学业、课外活动，还有你的社交生活。）可知，这篇文章针对的对象是学生。故选C项. 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“One of the easiest ways to show that you’re qualified to teach other students is by listing your GPA(Grade Point Average) on your tutor resume.”（最简单的一种方式表明你是有资格教其他的学生就是在你的导师简历上列出你的平均成绩点。）可知，作为有家教的资格的最容易的方式就是出示你的成绩，说明令人印象深刻的学术表现是你有做家教的资格的方式。故选D项。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your resume.”（想在呼叫中心找到工作，在简历上突出你的客户服务能力还有人际交往能力。）可知，人际交往能力和客户服务能力属于社交技巧，推断出需要良好社交技巧的工作是客服代表。故选D项。 B It was a dream born in fire. When Andrea Peterson was 5, she and her mother were trapped on the balcony of a burning building. “Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a lifelong goal. She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did. But in the early 1960’s, little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize about such great dreams. She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed. “You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.” And then, as it tends to do, life didn’t give her a chance to realize the dream. When Peterson was studying for a degree in aviation technology (航空技术) — the only female in her class, she met her husband, Dennis, a Vietnam vet who later developed cancer. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved and, in 2007, Dennis left the world. At 61, She earned her emergency medical technician license (执照) and responded to fire calls with the ambulance (救护车). It turned to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She found that her years of caring for Dennis had prepared her for dealing with different hurts and ills. A year later, she told her boss she wanted to be a firefighter. The fact that everyone else in her training team was between 18 and 21 didn’t discourage her. She passed the writing test and she cleared the physical difficulties and finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality. Peterson knows that the window on her physical abilities won’t stay open forever. But when interviewed, she said, “I worry a little when I get too old ... However, I did get my dream.” 4. Why did Andrea Peterson want to be a firefighter? A. She narrowly escaped from the fire. B. She was once rescued by firemen. C. She wanted to live an adventurous life. D. She was encouraged by her mother. 5. What happened to Peterson when she was 61? A. She carefully looked after her dying husband. B. She joined in the training team to be a firefighter. C. She successful got a degree in aviation technology. D. She helped the injured using her medical knowledge. 6. What words can best describe Andrea Peterson? A. Determined and brave. B. Kind and humorous. C. Confident and friendly. D. Generous and honest. 7. What does Peterson’s story tell us? A. It’s never too late to change a job. B. Where there is a will there is a way. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. He who laughs last laughs best. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Andrea Peterson在62岁高龄时，克服重重困难，实现了儿时做消防员的梦想。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘Throw the kid down!’ said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a lifelong goal. She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did. (‘把孩子放下来!’下面的一名消防员说，小Andrea跳进了救命的怀抱里，这成为她一生的目标。她想像救援人员一样去救火)”可知，Andrea Peterson曾经被消防员救起，因此梦想成为一名消防员。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“At 61, She earned her emergency medical technician license (执照) and responded to fire calls with the ambulance (救护车). It turned to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She found that her years of caring for Dennis had prepared her for dealing with different hurts and ills.(61岁时，她获得了紧急医疗技术员执照，并驾驶救护车响应火警呼叫。这变成了一个生死攸关的情况，Peterson感到了很久以前童年的召唤。她发现，多年来照顾Dennis的经历，使她能够应对各种各样的伤痛和疾病)”可知，在61岁时，Peterson用她的医学知识帮助伤者。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，根据第一段中“It was a dream born in fire. (这是一个在火中诞生的梦)”以及倒数第二段中“The fact that everyone else in her training team was between 18 and 21 didn’t discourage her. She passed the writing test and she cleared the physical difficulties and finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality. (她训练队的其他人都在18岁到21岁之间，但这并没有让她气馁。她通过了写作考试，克服了身体上的困难，终于，那个小女孩的梦想变成了现实)”可知，Andrea Peterson克服了重重困难，终于实现儿时的梦想，可见她意志坚强，勇于挑战自我。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，Andrea Peterson坚持不懈，克服困难，在62岁高龄时做了消防员，实现了儿时的梦想。这个故事告诉我们：“有志者，事竟成”。故选B项。 C On some Swedish trains, passengers carry their e-tickets in their hands. About 3,000 Swedes have chosen to put microchips (微芯片) beneath the skin between fingers. The chips, which cost around $150, can hold personal facts, credit-card numbers and medical records. They depend on Radio Frequency ID (RFID), a technology already used in payment cards, tickets and passports. There are 10,000 people with chip implants (植入) around the world. Sweden, home to several microchip companies, has the largest share. People can order do-it-yourself kits. And sometimes they get T-shirts that say “I got chipped”. Jowan Österlund, the founder of BioHax, a Swedish firm, argues that chips are safer than mobile phones because it is harder to steal information from them. But some people still have worries. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a trail when they are used to open doors, operate printers, etc. In 2004 a Mexican government official and his workmates had chips placed in their arms that tracked who had accessed important information. So why take the risk? Less trouble is one reason. The equipment for microchip implants exists wherever new payments are accepted. Sweden is well suited as the world’s second most cash-less country (after Canada). But the chips have little use unless all companies agree to work together. Few shops recognize this chip implants yet, even those organizations that do have had some troubles in the beginning. When Swedish rail officials began scanning passengers’ microchips, they saw private information rather than evidence of ticket buying. For now the chips are used largely as business cards, keys or to store important information. So the desire to win notice or admiration is another explanation. Chip enthusiasts want to equip human bodies with technology. Elon Musk, an American businessman has spent money on this technology that connects machines with human brains, which caused fears from some Christians. 8. What is special about the microchips mentioned in the passage? A. They have already become part of human bodies. B. They have offered access to personal information. C. They have become a symbol of modern society. D. They have used the latest technology in payment. 9. Jowan failed to consider the fact that __________. A. the information is safer to keep on chips than phones B. RFID chips can also have GPS as mobiles phones do C information on chips is likely to be accessed and let out D. some microchips have already been equipped with GPS 10. Why are people willing to risk putting chips into their bodies? A. Because developed countries are well prepared for chip implants. B. Because they want to save themselves the trouble of cash payment. C. Because they encourage more companies to recognize chip implants. D. Because it is an attention-catching technology that makes things easier. 11. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that __________. A. There is a long way to go before the implanted chips are widely applied. B. Many companies take a wait-and-see attitude towards this technology. C. The chip implants have caused difficulty for both users and companies. D. Microchips always successfully offer information about ticket buying. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。瑞典人选择在手指之间的皮肤下放置微芯片的原因是因为方便及引人注目的，但植安全性受到了质疑。芯片植入和推广遇到了初期的困难，即使已经开展芯片植入业务的公司也遭遇了一些麻烦，所以充分发挥芯片的作用有待时日。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由第一段尤其是“ About 3,000 Swedes have chosen to put microchips (微芯片) beneath the skin between fingers.”可知，本文中芯片的不同之处在于它被植入了体内，成为身体的一部分。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由第三段“Jowan …, argues that chips are safer than mobile phones because it is harder to steal information from them. But some people still have worries. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a trail when they are used to open doors, operate printers, etc. In 2004 a Mexican government official and his workmates had chips placed in their arms that tracked who had accessed important information.”可知，Jowan_认为，芯片比手机更安全，因为很难从中窃取信息。但有些人还是有忧虑。射频识别芯片没有GPS，但当它们被用来开门、操作打印机等时会留下痕迹。由此推断出Jowan的观点遭到了质疑，植入的芯片并不比手机更加安全，文章举例说明各种交互活动都会被记录和发现。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。第四段中的 “Less trouble is one reason”及第六段“So the desire to win notice or admiration is another explanation”可知阐述人们冒险植入芯片的原因：省事，引人注目。分析选项，可知D项（因为它是一种引人注目的技术，使事情变得更容易）符合题意，故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。从第五段的“But the chips have little use unless all companies agree to work together. Few shops recognize this chip implants yet, even those organizations that do have had some troubles in the beginning”可以看出，芯片植入和推广遇到了初期的困难，即使已经开展芯片植入业务的公司也遭遇了一些麻烦，所以充分发挥芯片的作用有待时日。故选A。 D By the year 2050, a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities, according to new research. A team of scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerland produced the report, which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future. The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities. In China in 2050, the climate of Xi’an, in Shanxi province, will be similar to that of current day Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa, with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59℃. Chongqing in southwest China will resemble the climate of Swaziland capital Mbabane, as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃. Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃. London’s climate will be more similar lo Barcelona, and Madrid’s to Marrakech. The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate effects due to the threat of climate change. The report also found that cities in tropical regions will experience smaller changes in average temperature but will be controlled by shifts in rainfall regimes. This may lead to a noticeable increase in unexpected events, and severe droughts. “Across all scientific fields, the greatest challenge in climate science is no longer the precise measurement of climate change impacts, but inspiring people to picture is actual effects in order to motivate action,” said Tom Crowther, senior scientist und founder of the Crowther Lab. 12. According to the research, among the 520 cities by 2050, about ________ cities will experience the climate conditions that no major cities currently have experienced. A. 400 B. 114 C. 260 D. 104 13. How did the scientists prove their result? A. By listing figures. B. By making comparisons. C. By doing experiments. D. By explaining theory. 14. What is the Crowther Lab intended for? A. To compare the climate change of the major cities of the world. B. To inspire people to picture its actual effects in order to motivate action. C. To inspire decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent some climate effects. D. To show most word’s cities will experience a striking change in climate conditions. 15. What is the best title of the passage? A. World Temperature B. Current Climate Change C. Big Titles in the World D. Future Climate Change in Most Big Cities 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。通过数据例举讲述了到2050年，世界上许多大城市的气候将变暖，呼吁人类要尽快采取措施。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities.(520个城市中有22%的气候状况将不再是任何现存的大城市都经历过的样子)”可知，520中的22%大约就是114，所以到2050年，大约有114个城市将面临气候条件的变化。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中 “The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities. ”以及第三段和第四段中“with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59℃. as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃. Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃.”所列举的具体数据可知，这些科学家通过列出具体的数据来佐证他们的研究结果。故选A。 14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate effects due to the threat of climate change.(The Crowther Lab希望这项分析将激励决策者采取必要的措施，以防止或解决气候变化威胁造成的一些气候影响)”可知，the Crowther Lab的目的就是激励决策者采取必要的措施来防止一些气候影响。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“By the year 2050, a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities, according to new research.(据最新研究报道，到2050年，世界上有五分之一的城市将面临前所未有的气候条件和环境的变化，那将是在目前任何一个主要城市都没有出过的)”以及后文进行的具体论证可知，文章主要介绍了对未来的一些大城市气候变化的预测。D项：“一些重大城市的未来气候变化”符合题意，做文章的标题。故选D。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Volunteers make a significant difference in the lives of others.

Blake and Allison are twins. Every year, I gave them birthday presents. But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list. I knew I had somewhat spoiled(宠坏)them, but I had no idea it was this bad . I was in shock. How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be? I was determined to do something. I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help. There were four children in the family aged from three to eight. I began to visit them every two months. Soon, Allison and Blake’s birthday was drawing near. I decided to introduce them to the new friends. One day, I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm. When we arrived, I told my children to take two bags off the car, of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with. We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation. Obviously, Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw. I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life. “Look! Presents for you. ”Allison was trying to make the kids happier. With their parents’ permission(允许), the kids began to pick the boxes up, shake them, and guess what was inside. They were so excited. Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes. They did. And there were shouts of surprise and joy: a model car, chocolate …then laughter. Then grateful hugs(拥抱)and sincere “thank-yous” . At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children. Before long, they were laughing, too, proud that they brought happiness there. On the way home, Alison and Blake were a little quiet. When it was time to go to bed that day, my kids hugged me and said, “Thank you, Mum. ” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next year, with their birthday nearing, I asked Alison and Blake what presents they wanted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I agreed and offered to drive them to the farm. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】[参考范文] The next year, with their birthday nearing, I asked Alison and Blake what presents they wanted. Alison and Blake exchanged a glance and said, “Mum, we want something special this time. ”They asked for my permission to shop the presents themselves. Strange as it sounded, I nodded. So on that special day, we visited the supermarket together. To my surprise, they chose items I had never expected：shoes, gloves, pens … I sensed something unusual. With everything ready, Alison asked whether they could celebrate their birthday with our new friends together. I agreed and offered to drive them to the farm. I reminded them to call their friends first. After that we headed for our destination. The moment we arrived, the whole family rushed to meet us. My children got all the bags into the house, opened them, and unfolded all the gifts. It was then that our friends learned all Alison and Blake brought were gifts for them. Seeing the various gifts, they were moved to tears. I realized my children would never be selfish and unappreciative again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者发现自己的孩子们不懂得感恩，于是作者带着他们一起为急需帮助的一家人送去了礼物，作者的孩子们也由此不再自私，懂得感恩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二年， Alison和Blake的生日临近，我问他们想要什么礼物。”以及第二段首句“我同意了，并提出开车送他们去农场。”可知，第一段可描写孩子们说出了自己想要的礼物并要再次前往农场。 ②由第二段首句内容“我同意了，并提出开车送他们去农场。”可知，第二段可描写孩子们为农场里的孩子们准备了礼物，自己也发生了改变。 2.续写线索：不满足——送礼物——明白——变化——帮助 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①请求得到：ask for/require/beg for ②感觉：sense/feel ③前往：head for/leave for 情绪类 ①惊讶：to one’s surprise/surprisedly ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】Strange as it sounded, I nodded.（运用了as引导的让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】With everything ready, Alison asked whether they could celebrate their birthday with our new friends together.（运用了whether引导的宾语从句） 听力答案：1-5 ABACA 6-10 ABCBC 11-15 CBABC 16-20 BCCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 贵池区2023～2024学年度第二学期期中教学质量检测 高一英语试题 （满分：150分 时间：120分钟） 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在条形码区域内。 2．选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清晰。 3．请按题号顺序在各题答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试题卷上答题无效。 4．保持答题卡卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 5．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 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.

Many jobs have age or experience requirements that you might not meet. On top of that, you need to juggle(应付)schoolwork, extracurriculars, and your social life. Fortunately, there are still some good jobs for you to start gaining working experience. Tutor Straight-A student? Then a job as a tutor(家庭教师)might be the best option for you. Helping younger students with their homework is a great way to put what you’ve studied to good use and make some extra money. One of the easiest ways to show that you’re qualified to teach other students is by listing your GPA(Grade Point Average) on your tutor resume. Dog Walker Love dogs? Then a position as a dog walker is the perfect fit for you. Dog walking requires no work experience and has flexible hours. However, you may need to do some shadowing or an interview before people trust you with their pets. Delivery Driver If you’re 16+ years old and have a driver’s license, you could try working as a delivery driver. Driving is a great way to gain relevant experience and show future employers that you’re responsible and work well under pressure. Call Center Representative If you don’t mind talking on the phone, then a job as a call center worker is a good choice for you. Working as a call center representative can even teach you some useful customer service skills that will help your career later on. To land a job at a call center, highlight your customer service and interpersonal skills on your resume. 1. Who are the passage intended for? A. Parents. B. Teachers. C. Students. D. Employers. 2. What qualifies you as a tutor? A. Relevant experience. B. Timely homework completion. C. Flexible time schedule. D. Impressive academic performance. 3. Which job requires good social skills? A.

When Andrea Peterson was 5, she and her mother were trapped on the balcony of a burning building. “Throw the kid down!” said one of the firemen below, and little Andrea jumped into lifesaving arms and a lifelong goal. She wanted to fight fires like her rescuers did. But in the early 1960’s, little girls weren’t even allowed to fantasize about such great dreams. She told that to the men who had saved her, and they laughed. “You’ll be a good mommy,” the firemen told her. “You’ll be a good teacher, maybe you’ll be a nurse, but you can never be a fireman.” And then, as it tends to do, life didn’t give her a chance to realize the dream. When Peterson was studying for a degree in aviation technology (航空技术) — the only female in her class, she met her husband, Dennis, a Vietnam vet who later developed cancer. Peterson spent 31 years caring for the man she loved and, in 2007, Dennis left the world. At 61, She earned her emergency medical technician license (执照) and responded to fire calls with the ambulance (救护车). It turned to be a life-and-death situation, and Peterson felt that long-ago childhood calling. She found that her years of caring for Dennis had prepared her for dealing with different hurts and ills. A year later, she told her boss she wanted to be a firefighter. The fact that everyone else in her training team was between 18 and 21 didn’t discourage her. She passed the writing test and she cleared the physical difficulties and finally, that little girl’s dream became a reality. Peterson knows that the window on her physical abilities won’t stay open forever. But when interviewed, she said, “I worry a little when I get too old ... However, I did get my dream.” 4. Why did Andrea Peterson want to be a firefighter? A. She narrowly escaped from the fire. B. She was once rescued by firemen. C. She wanted to live an adventurous life. D. She was encouraged by her mother. 5. What happened to Peterson when she was 61? A. She carefully looked after her dying husband. B She joined in the training team to be a firefighter. C. She successful got a degree in aviation technology. D. She helped the injured using her medical knowledge. 6 What words can best describe Andrea Peterson? A. Determined and brave. B. Kind and humorous. C. Confident and friendly. D. Generous and honest. 7. What does Peterson’s story tell us? A. It’s never too late to change a job. B. Where there is a will there is a way. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. He who laughs last laughs best. C On some Swedish trains, passengers carry their e-tickets in their hands. About 3,000 Swedes have chosen to put microchips (微芯片) beneath the skin between fingers. The chips, which cost around $150, can hold personal facts, credit-card numbers and medical records. They depend on Radio Frequency ID (RFID), a technology already used in payment cards, tickets and passports. There are 10,000 people with chip implants (植入) around the world. Sweden, home to several microchip companies, has the largest share. People can order do-it-yourself kits. And sometimes they get T-shirts that say “I got chipped”. Jowan Österlund, the founder of BioHax, a Swedish firm, argues that chips are safer than mobile phones because it is harder to steal information from them. But some people still have worries. RFID chips do not have GPS, but they leave a trail when they are used to open doors, operate printers, etc. In 2004 a Mexican government official and his workmates had chips placed in their arms that tracked who had accessed important information. So why take the risk? Less trouble is one reason. The equipment for microchip implants exists wherever new payments are accepted. Sweden is well suited, as the world’s second most cash-less country (after Canada). But the chips have little use unless all companies agree to work together. Few shops recognize this chip implants yet, even those organizations that do have had some troubles in the beginning. When Swedish rail officials began scanning passengers’ microchips, they saw private information rather than evidence of ticket buying. For now the chips are used largely as business cards, keys or to store important information. So the desire to win notice or admiration is another explanation. Chip enthusiasts want to equip human bodies with technology. Elon Musk, an American businessman has spent money on this technology that connects machines with human brains, which caused fears from some Christians. 8. What is special about the microchips mentioned in the passage? A. They have already become part of human bodies. B. They have offered access to personal information. C. They have become a symbol of modern society. D. They have used the latest technology in payment. 9. Jowan failed to consider the fact that __________. A. the information is safer to keep on chips than phones B RFID chips can also have GPS as mobiles phones do C. information on chips is likely to be accessed and let out D. some microchips have already been equipped with GPS 10. Why are people willing to risk putting chips into their bodies? A. Because developed countries are well prepared for chip implants. B. Because they want to save themselves the trouble of cash payment. C. Because they encourage more companies to recognize chip implants. D. Because it is an attention-catching technology that makes things easier. 11. We can infer from Paragraph 5 that __________. A. There is a long way to go before the implanted chips are widely applied. B. Many companies take a wait-and-see attitude towards this technology. C. The chip implants have caused difficulty for both users and companies. D. Microchips always successfully offer information about ticket buying. D By the year 2050, a fifth of the world’s cities will experience unprecedented climate conditions and environments that currently don’t exist in any major cities, according to new research. A team of scientists at the Crowther Lab in Switzerland produced the report, which described the climate for 520 major cities 30 years in the future. The results showed that 77 percent of the world’s cities will experience a surprising change in climate conditions by 2050, and 22 percent of the 520 cities will see conditions that are not currently experienced by any existing major cities. In China in 2050, the climate of Xi’an, in Shanxi province, will be similar to that of current day Maseru, the capital city of Lesotho in southern Africa, with the maximum temperature of the warmest month likely to increase by 4.59℃. Chongqing in southwest China will resemble the climate of Swaziland capital Mbabane, as the warmest temperature is predicted to rise by 5.1℃. Scientists predict summers in Europe will get warmer by an average of 3.5℃ and European winters will see temperature rises of 4.7℃. London’s climate will be more similar lo Barcelona, and Madrid’s to Marrakech. The Crowther Lab hopes the analysis will motivate decision-makers to take necessary steps to prevent or address some of the climate effects due to the threat of climate change. The report also found that cities in tropical regions will experience smaller changes in average temperature but will be controlled by shifts in rainfall regimes.

Blake and Allison are twins. Every year, I gave them birthday presents. But they always felt unhappy about not receiving something on their wish list. I knew I had somewhat spoiled(宠坏)them, but I had no idea it was this bad . I was in shock. How self-centered and unappreciative could my children be? I was determined to do something. I found a family living on a farm that badly needed help. There were four children in the family aged from three to eight. I began to visit them every two months. Soon, Allison and Blake’s birthday was drawing near. I decided to introduce them to the new friends. One day, I woke the kids early and drove them to the farm. When we arrived, I told my children to take two bags off the car, of which one was filled with food and the other with many boxes full of presents my children would never be satisfied with. We were welcomed inside with smiles and appreciation. Obviously, Alison and Blake were shocked by what they saw. I could guess they had never expected people would live such a difficult life. “Look! Presents for you. ”Allison was trying to make the kids happier. With their parents’ permission(允许), the kids began to pick the boxes up, shake them, and guess what was inside. They were so excited. Allison and Blake encouraged the kids to open the boxes. They did. And there were shouts of surprise and joy: a model car, chocolate …then laughter. Then grateful hugs(拥抱)and sincere “thank-yous” . At first Alison and Blake looked confused but soon joined the children. Before long, they were laughing, too, proud that they brought happiness there. On the way home, Alison and Blake were a little quiet. When it was time to go to bed that day, my kids hugged me and said, “Thank you, Mum. ” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The next year, with their birthday nearing, I asked Alison and Blake what presents they wanted. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I agreed and offered to drive them to the farm. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 ABACA 6-10 ABCBC 11-15 CBABC 16-20 BCCAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
