(Text 10) M:Okay,boys and girls,at the end of our class,I'll talk about a recent study.The study shows that drivers using cell phones,even hands-free,are four times more likely to have accidents.The findings show that the use of earphones and other hands-free devices while driving does not reduce the risk of accidents.The research indicates that the primary cause of phone-related accidents is not the handling of the phone,but rather the act of talking on a phone."The brain cannot quickly process the complex information required for driving and talking on the phone at the same time,"Giuseppe Fontini,a leading research scientist in the study,said.He added that the information distracts the driver,thus leading to a serious accident.The challenge now is for lawmakers.Many governments have banned the use of normal mobile phones behind the wheel.But some have allowed the use of hands-free equipment for several reasons.But with this new study, lawmakers may... 参考答案 1~5 ACBAB 6~10 CBCBA 11~15 CBBCA 16~20 CABAA 2L.A细节理解题。根据Edinburgh International Book Festival部分“When:lOth一25 th August.,.There'sa real emphasis on creative learning.,.”可知，八月份举行的爱丁堡国际图书节注重创造性学习。 22.C细节理解题。根据North Cornwall Book Festival部分“This year,.Tom Holland,Max Porter and Ann Cleeves will take to the stage to share their incredible insights into the industry.”可知，Tom Holland将参加 今年的北康沃尔图书节。 23.B细节理解题。根据Cheltenham Literature Festival部分“Claiming the impressive title of the oldest annual literary festival in the UK,Cheltenham turns into..”可知，切尔滕纳姆文学节是英国最古老的年度文学节。 24.B细节理解题。根据第一段“.，Grandma Joy is setting out on a new global challenge with her grandson Brad Ryan,42.”及第二段“..are now planning to travel to all seven continents in the world together.”可 知，Joy和Brad的新目标是环游世界。 25.C词义猜测题。根据画线词前“While Brad assumed that traveling with an elderly person might”及画线词 后“the fun a little bit,he quickly found that this wasn't the case.In fact,it was quite the opposite..”可推断， 画线词的意思和Ruin最接近。 【高二期末质量检测卷·英语参考答案第2页（共4页）】 26.A推理判断题。根据第四段“Being able to share so many special moments with Grandma Joy has also meant that Ryan has been able to ask questions that he's never had the opportunity to ask before."

C Sperm whales（抹⾹鲸）have the biggest brains of any animal on the planet at up to twenty pounds, as much as six times the size of an average human brain. They live in groups of about ten and sometimes meet up with hundreds or thousands of other whales. Sperm whales can grow up to eighteen meters long and dive to nearly 1,000 meters to hunt for food. They sleep upright and in groups. Like many whales and dolphins,sperm whales are highly social animals and communicate underwater by strings of rapid clicks, which are also used to help them locate and track their food. In a study published in the journal Nature Communications,researchers analyzed more than 8,700 pieces of sperm whale clicks that they believe make up a “phonetic,alphabet（⾳标）”， which the whales can use to build the very rough equivalent（对应的事物）iof what people think of as words and phrases. They say they have found four basic components that they think make up this phonetic alphabet. Pratyusha Sharma, the paper's lead researcher, says this alphabet could then be used by the whales in an unlimited number of combinations. To get'enough records of the sperm whale clicks in Dominica, where there is a residential population of about 200 sperm whales, scientists created a huge underwater recording studio with microphones at different depths. Devices on the whales recorded what position they were in when clicking—for example, diving, sleeping, breathing at the surface- -and if there were any other whales nearby they might be communicating with. Jeremy Goldbogen, an associate professor of oceans at Stanford University, who was not involved in the study, said that if we were one day able,to understand what sperm whales were saying,that knowledge should be used for conservation purposes, like minimizing their risk of being hit by ships or reducing ocean noise levels. David Gruber, founder and president of the Cetacean Translation Initiative, says millions and possibly billions of whale clicks would be needed to collect enough data to try to work out What the whales are saying, but he expects Al to help speed the analysis： 【⾼⼆期末质量检测卷•英语第4⻚（共8⻚）】 翔的 密封线内不要答题 28.

On a three-lane（⻋道）test track along the Monongahela River, an 18-wheel truck rounded a bend. No one was on board. A quarter mile ahead, the truck's sensors spotted a garbage can blocking one lane and a tire in another. In less than a second, it signaled and moved into the unblocked lane. The self-driving truck is owned by Pittsburgh-based Aurora Innovation. Late this year， Aurora plans to starttransporting goods on Interstate 45 between the Dallas and Houston areas with 20 driverless trucks. Within three or four years, Aurora and its,competitors expect to put thousands of such self-driving trucks on America's public freeways. The companies say the autonomous trucks will save on fuel, because they don't have to stop and will drive at more consistent speeds. Also, Aurora says its testing has shown that if a maintenance issue arises while one of its trucks is traveling on a freeway, the vehicle will automatically pull over to the side of the road and remotely call for assistance. These unmanned vehicles have drawn doubt from safety advocates, whowarn that with almost no regulation（监管），it will be mainly up to the companies themselves to determine when the trucks are safe enough to operate without humans on board. The critics complain that federal agencies, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, take a generally. passive approach to safety,typically acting only after crashes occur. But Aurora and other companies that are developing the systems argue that years of testing show that their trucks will actually be safer than human-driven ones. They note that the vehicles'sensors can “see' farther than human eyes. The trucks never tire, as human drivers do. They never become distracted by alcohol or drugs. Patti Pierce, a retired accountant from Plano, Texas, said she would be OK with the self-driving technology in about a decade. "I don't want to be on the road with them right now，”she said. “I'm not sure whether the technology is good enough right now to have a truck that drives itself.” 32. What is paragraph 3 mainly about？ A. How to pass a driving test. B. The advantages of driverless trucks. C. How to operate autonomous trucks. D. The competition between companies. 33. What can we say about the regulation on unmanned vehicles？ A. It is insufficient. B. It is satisfactory. C. It is unnecessary. D. It is overstrict. 【⾼⼆期末质量检测卷•英语第5⻚（共8⻚）】 34. What does Patti Pierce think of the current self-driving technology？ A. It is advanced enough. B. It still needs improving. C. It will replace human drivers. D. It should be put into use right away. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text？ A. The Long Road to Driverless Trucks B. An Accident Report on the US Highway C. Driverless Trucks to Be Tested on Roads D. Unmanned Trucks Set to Hit US Highways 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⼈空⽩处的 佳选项。选项中有两项为多余 选项。 When your friend is going through a crisis, whether it's a break-up or an illness, you will want to be there to support and encourage them. The following are some tips for you. 36 •People need to tell their stories especially if they're going through a crisis. Sometimes you're going to have opinions about their situation. However,it isn't always necessary to share the advice. Of course, you can ask if they would like your advice. 37 Offer practical help. Instead of offering advice, what you can offer is some actual help. This is what someone struggling to deal with a difficult situation truly needs. 38 For example, you can help them out with some housework like helping clean their house, or take their dog for a walk. Let your friend deal with their emotions in their own time. 39.One day your friend might be okay with the change and the next day they're completely falling apart. So never say something like "It seemed like you were doing okay,what happened？” or “Aren't you sad enough？” Continue to check in. People have a tendency to be very concerned about someone immediately after their life falls apart, but fall away as time goes on. 40 .Make sure your friend knows that they can call on you if they need to, and that you keep up with how they're doing. A. Share your advice B. Make sure you don't do this C. Listen to them without judgment D. Even doing some little things can make a difference E.

Because I was born in the poorest family in town, I quit high school to get a job. With no education and skills, I only found factory jobs or waitress work, which barely kept a roof over our heads. One day, searching the job ads, I found a notice that our local community college offered training for those who qualified under a government program. It included a stipend（津贴） for the hours as well as the training. One requirement was a high school diploma（毕业⽂凭）or GED（General Educational Development） certificate. Fortunately, after dropping out of school， I took the GED test and received my certificate, but with such low scores, I was ashamed to show it to anyone. However, I still decided to go to the school to meet the advisor who would assess me. Her name was Ruby Martin. I was prepared to hear her criticize me for my low scores and wasting her valuable time. However, she did the opposite. "You are so young. Why are you applying for this training program instead of applying to college？”she asked. 1 whispered， “Because I am poor and stupid..• ” She looked gently at me and said， “Since you have got the GED certificate, you are not stupid at all. ” For the next hour, she explained that I could go to college with the help of financial support. She also assured me I would make an excellent candidate for the job training program. Throughout the twelve-week training, Mrs. Martin came in every few days and spoke to several of us, including me. She was encouraging and supportive. The basic skills we learned in that program made it possible for me to get a job as a retail clerk and bookkeeper, but the words of Mrs. Martin echoed（回响）in my mind. One day, armed with some hope and questions, I dropped by Mrs. Martin's office. She took the time to guide me toward the financial-aid office. With her help, I managed to be admitted into the college. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 College proved challenging yet incredibly rewarding I dropped by Mrs. Martin's office again after my graduation. 【⾼⼆期末质量检测卷•英语第8⻚（共8⻚）】 内不要答题
