History This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building. Inside the royal palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms. Shopping Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping malls, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro which is noted for selling everything from antiques to CDs. Entertainment No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike. Food Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 pm, it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon,a kind of dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it. 1. What do we know about the royal palace in Madrid? A. It can hold 2,800 people. B. It offers 50 rooms for visit. C. It’s been visited by 3 million people. D. It is thought to be the largest palace in Europe. 2. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C. Its art performances. D. Its special location. 3. What is a must when travelling in Madrid according to the text? A. Touring the Royal Palace. B. Photographing fine artworks. C. Enjoying flamenco. D. Tasting light snacks. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍了马德里这一城市的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据History部分“Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms.(游客可以参观其中50个宽敞而华丽的房间)”可知，马德里的the royal palace可以提供50个房间给游客参观。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Shopping部分“But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro which is noted for selling everything from antiques to CDs.(但500年来，购物者聚集在一个名为Rastro的超大户外跳蚤市场，该市场以出售从古董到CD的所有东西而闻名)”可知，Rastro因出售多样化的商品而闻名。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Entertainment部分“No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco.(没有看过西班牙著名艺术形式弗拉门戈的表演，马德里之旅就不完整)”可知，去马德里旅行时，如果不观看flamenco，那么这次旅行就是不完整的，即flamenco是去马德里旅行必须要参观的。故选C。 B John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.” John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “The children! Get the children!” John grabbed her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady. In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cries. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!” But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping. 4. Why did the old lady scream to John? A. To ask him to get away from the fire. B. To ask for his help to save the children. C. To ask him to rescue her from the fire. D. To ask him to take out valuable things from the fire. 5. What was Mary’s response to John’s action? A. She disagreed with it. B. She supported it. C. She misunderstood it. D. She was unconcerned about it. 6. What was the house like before John went back once again? A. It was clean. B. It was burned down. C. It was dangerous. D. It was under repair. 7. What can we infer according to the text? A. Two heads are better than one. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Helping others means helping ourselves. D. God helps those who help themselves. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。约翰在回家途中看到一座房子着火了，一位老太太想让他去房子里面救孩子，他不顾妻子的劝阻到里面去救那些孩子，而让人意外的是，他发现那些孩子中有他自己的孩子。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“John noticed an old lady screamed to him, ‘The children! Get the children!’ (约翰注意到一位老太太对他喊道：‘孩子们！找到孩子们！’)” 可知，她是向约翰求助，想让他救孩子。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. (尽管玛丽不同意，约翰还是湿透了衣服，跑到烟雾弥漫的地下室。)” 可知，玛丽并不同意约翰的做法。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, ‘John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!’(他们又告诉他还有两个，玛丽抓住他的胳膊尖叫道：‘约翰！别回去！太危险了！那房子马上就会倒塌！’)”可知，在约翰再次进入那座房子之前，那座房子有可能随时倒塌，很危险。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.(当他爬上无尽的台阶时，脑海中浮现出一种想法，那就是他旁边的小尸体有一种奇怪的熟悉感。最后，当它们暴露在阳光和新鲜空气中时，他发现自己刚刚救了自己的孩子。保姆在购物时把它们留在了家里。)”以及上文可知，约翰在救别人的孩子的时候，意外地也救了他自己的孩子。这个故事说明：帮助他人，实际上就是帮助自己。故选C项。 C Some 70 countries, mostly in the Americas and Europe, apply Daylight Saving Time during the summer months. Europe’s clocks will move forward once again this weekend. Yet last week the European Union voted to end this long-established practice from 2022. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of moving the clocks forward in the summer. But the practice really took hold during World War I and since then it has brought several benefits. It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. It might even reduce crime. As the saying goes, “The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.” In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. When the European Union ran a poll（民意调查）among its citizens, it got nearly 5 million responses. Over 80% want to scrap clock-changing, and for good reasons. Although it has not been proven eventually, many scientists think that changing the clocks messes up humans’ biological clock, which may increase the chances of heart attacks and strokes. It could cause car accidents to increase, as drivers who are used to going to work in the daylight, for example, suddenly have to do so in the dark. In addition, many businesses find it extremely inconvenient that countries change their clocks at different times. So, will Europeans choose to stick with winter or summer time? This has not been decided. It could be that each country will choose for itself, though each is likely to take careful note of neighbors’ decisions. The benefit, it seems, is not so much in deciding how long the evening is, or how dark the morning. It is in keeping it consistent throughout the year. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Clock-changing has more benefits than expected. B. People adopted clock-changing after World War I. C. Clock-changing makes people sleepy in the day time. D. People might spend more money after clock-changing. 9. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Favor. B. Stop. C. Obey. D. Delay. 10. What can we infer about clock-changing in Europe? A. People will continue to use it. B. More changes will be added to it. C. It remains to be seen whether to use it. D. The countries will change their clocks at same times. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recall the history of clock-changing. B. To stress the benefits of clock-changing. C. To show people’s opinions on clock-changing. D. To introduce the bad effects of clock-changing. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了欧洲实行夏令时的优点和缺陷，以及民众对是否继续使用夏令时的看法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. ”（ 这可能会增加消费者支出，因为消费者被鼓励晚上在外面呆到更晚。）可知，使用夏令时后，人们待在外面的时间变长，这可能增加人们的消费。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据本段中的“In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. ”（ 尽管如此，改变时间还是不受欢迎。）可知，夏令时是不受欢迎的，所以进行民意调查的结果肯定是人们希望停止这一确立已久的做法，划线词词义为“停止”，故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“This has not been decided. ”（还没有确定。）可知，欧洲国家最终还没有决定是否继续使用夏令时。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。文章第二段提到了使用夏令时的优点，同时在第三段也说明了其不足，因此文章旨在客观地介绍民众关于夏令时的各种看法。故选C项。 D Findings coming from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington D. C. show that Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, including robots, will take over work now done by humans. About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation (自动化) will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives. Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person. Most Americans want the government to limit automation. For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver’s seat, who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts. His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates. Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300, 000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years. 12. What do Americans think of technology? A. Useful. B. Helpful. C. Effective. D. Undependable. 13. Why do Americans want a human in driverless vehicles? A. To reduce the cost. B. To ensure safety. C. To test the new technology. D. To entertain the passengers. 14. What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do? A. Fight against robots. B. Consider large projects. C Explore new job chances. D. Refuse self-driving vehicles. 15. Which of the following can be the title of the text? A. New Technology Creates More Jobs B. Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs C. New Technology Makes New Unfairness D. Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文中介绍了大部分美国人担心随着科技发展，机器人可能会代替人类工作，增加富人、中产阶级和穷人之间的收入差距，主张政府限制机器人。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, including robots, will take over work now done by humans.(美国人对新技术感到担忧。他们担心，包括机器人在内的机器将会取代目前由人类完成的工作)”及第三段中的“Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision.(对技术的一些担忧来自对机器是否总能做出正确决定的不信任)”可推知，美国人认为科技是不可信赖的。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Most Americans want the government to limit automation. For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver’s seat, who can take control when needed. (大多数美国人希望政府限制自动化。例如，87%的人支持一项要求，即所有无人驾驶车辆都有一个人坐在驾驶座上，在需要时可以控制车辆。)”可知，美国人希望无人驾驶汽车里有人是因为他们觉得在必要时可以控制汽车，确保安全。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的““Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates.(“我们这一代人将不得不面对数千万工作被自动化取代的问题，比如自动驾驶汽车和卡车，”Zuckerberg对毕业生们说)”和最后一段中的“Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world.( Zuckerberg表示，年轻人必须找到既能给世界人民带来就业机会，又能给世界人民带来直接利益的项目)”可知，Zuckerberg认为年轻人必须面对许多工作自动化的现实，寻找能给世界人民带来工作和直接利益的项目。由此可知，Zuckerberg鼓励学生们去探索更多新的就业机会。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, including robots, will take over work now done by humans.(美国人对新技术感到担忧。他们担心，包括机器人在内的机器将会取代目前由人类完成的工作)”和下面每段中心句可知，美国人担心随着科技发展机器人会代替人类工作，增加富人、中产阶级和穷人之间的收入差距。由此可知，B项“Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs(美国人担心机器人会抢走工作)”概括了全文内容，适合作为文章标题。故选B。 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。 Simple Tips for Spending More Reading Time Reading can make you understand life more.

You can start by reading a book a month. Or a book every two month seven.(有些人给自己设定不切实际的目标，比如一周读一本书。很明显，你没必要那么激进。你可以从每月读一本书开始。或者每两个月读一本书)”可知，读书的目标因人而异，即由个人情况而定。故A选项“由你决定”符合语境，故选A。 【17题详解】 根据后文“On the bus, on the subway, at your lunch break or when you’re at the gym. You won’t regret it, I promise.(在公共汽车上，在地铁上，在午餐时间或者在健身房的时候。我保证你不会后悔的)”可知，后文列举了一系列读书的场所，可见是在建议利用每一个可能进行阅读的时刻。故G选项“当你有时间享受文字的艺术时，利用每一个可能的时刻”符合语境，故选G。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes our mind will make up all kinds of excuses not to do something. Not to get out of bed. Not to clean the house. Not to shower. The trick to get over this mental block is to just pick up the book and read!(有时候我们的心会编造各种借口不去做某事。不起床。不打扫房子。不要洗澡。克服这种心理障碍的诀窍就是拿起书来读！)”以及后文“Just do it. Once you start reading, if it’s a good book, it’s quite difficult to stop.(想做就做。一旦你开始阅读，如果是一本好书，你就很难停下来)”可知，后文提到了想做就做，即在行动前不要想太多，直接去做会更好。故E选项“不要在行动中投入太多的思想”符合语境，故选E。 【19题详解】 根据本段内容“Wherever I go, I’ve always got a book with me. Whenever I’m at home, a book is always near. That way, I don’t have to think much when the idea that I should maybe spend my free time reading comes into my head. I just grab the book and start reading.(无论我去哪里，我总是带着一本书。每当我在家的时候，总有一本书在我身边。这样，当我应该利用空闲时间阅读的想法进入我的脑海时，我不必想太多。我只是拿起书开始读)”可知，本段提到了作者总是保证身边有书，即让你的书在伸手可及的地方。故B选项“总是让你的书在伸手可及的地方”符合语境，故选B。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Obviously, to get yourself motivated to read, read something that interests you.(很明显，为了激励自己去阅读，读一些你感兴趣的东西)”可知，本句承接上文，举例说明可以阅读哪些感兴趣的书籍，故F选项“可能是经济、动物、教育——你想要读什么都可以”符合语境，故选F。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had a great dream when I was in my twenties.

He turned around, eyeing us, with his tail swinging up and down. My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us. It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were 3 keys, a house key, a mail key and a car key and a unique key fob（吊坠）, very likely designed specially. “Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble.” My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key. Who might have lost them? After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood. “The owner might come back to look for them.” Toby reminded. So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by. Our little dog ran in circles of excitement that we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain. It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn’t, saying that she just couldn’t stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. “How anxious and upset the owner would be!” I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident, found the key fob had the alarm button, “Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner’s car alarm...” “That’s brilliant.” 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。 We rushed back to our neighborhood. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】We rushed back to our neighborhood. We found a lot of cars in the neighborhood. We tried to pass each car, pressing the alarm button. But in vain. Just as we were about to give up when we suddenly discovered an old car parked in a nearby corner. When we pressed the button, the car’s lights were on and the car made a beep. We jumped with joy and at the same time, we recognized that that car belongs to an old lady near our house. She often drives this old car to go shopping. The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. The old lady looked unhappy. She said“hello，kids”.We took out the present and asked her if they were her keys. The old woman suddenly brightened up with surprise. The old woman said“God, It is you that find my keys. ” She was very grateful to us and gave us the dessert she had made herself. We didn’t refuse it .We smiled to each other. It was a wonderful day. 【解析】 【导语】本文以钥匙为线索展开，讲述了作者姐弟三人在树林里捡到了一串钥匙，他们很想找到失主是谁，并判断一定是社区里的人丢的。他们偶然发现钥匙链上有汽车报警按钮。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们快速回到了我们的社区。”可知，第一段可描写他们寻找车辆的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“门开了，我们面前站着一位老太太。”可知，第二段可描写作者找到了失主，并把钥匙还给了失主，失主表达了感谢。 2.续写线索：通过汽车报警按钮寻找车辆——最终找到——判断出失主——还给失主——失主表示感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 1.高兴：cheer up /brighten up 2.放弃：give up /abandon 3.拒绝：shake his head/decline/refuse 情绪类 1.感激的：grateful /appreciative 2.不快乐的：unhappy/sad/upset 【点睛】[高分句型1]When we pressed the button, the car’s lights were on and the car made a beep. （when引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型2] We tried to pass each car, pressing the alarm button.（现在分词作状语） 听力：ABBCBAACAABBCACCBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语试卷 考生注意： 1.满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

History This city of over 3 million people is proud of Western Europe’s largest royal palace, and some consider it to be Madrid’s most beautiful building. Inside the royal palace 2,800 rooms are decorated in glory with museum quality furniture and artworks. Tourists can tour 50 of these large and splendid rooms. Shopping Madrid has some of Europe’s best shopping malls, and potential buyers love to look through the stores looking for bargains. But for 500 years, shoppers have gathered to an extremely large outdoor flea market known as the Rastro which is noted for selling everything from antiques to CDs. Entertainment No trip to Madrid is complete without seeing a performance of Spain’s famous art form, flamenco. Every day, flamenco performers sing, dance or play the guitar in small cafes and grand theaters alike. Food Madrid has a wide variety of restaurants but because the Spanish typically eat late at about 9 or 10 pm, it’s difficult to find good dinner food earlier. If you get hungry before then, the best solution is to try a tapas bar where light snacks are served. Be sure to try the jamon,a kind of dry-cured ham: Spain is famous for it. 1. What do we know about the royal palace in Madrid? A. It can hold 2,800 people. B. It offers 50 rooms for visit. C. It’s been visited by 3 million people. D. It is thought to be the largest palace in Europe. 2. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C Its art performances. D. Its special location. 3. What is a must when travelling in Madrid according to the text? A. Touring the Royal Palace. B. Photographing fine artworks. C. Enjoying flamenco. D. Tasting light snacks. B John and Mary had a nice home and two lovely children. John had just been asked to go on a business trip to another city for several days and Mary would go with him too. They hired a reliable woman to care for their children and returned home a little earlier than they had planned. As they drove into their hometown, they found a home on fire. After having a look, Mary said, “Oh well, it isn’t our fire. Let’s go home.” But John drove closer and said, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who wouldn’t be off work yet. Maybe there is something we could do.” John noticed an old lady screamed to him, “The children! Get the children!” John grabbed her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the basement,” cried the lady. In spite of Mary’s disagreement, John soaked (浸湿) his clothes and ran to the basement which was full of smoke. He found the door and grabbed two children. As he left he could hear some more cries. He sent the two badly frightened children into the waiting room and asked how many more children were down there. They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s dangerous! That house will fall down in any second!” But he shook her off and went back. It seemed a very long time before he found both children and started back. As he climbed up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies next to him and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping. 4. Why did the old lady scream to John? A. To ask him to get away from the fire. B. To ask for his help to save the children. C. To ask him to rescue her from the fire. D. To ask him to take out valuable things from the fire. 5. What was Mary’s response to John’s action? A She disagreed with it. B. She supported it. C. She misunderstood it. D. She was unconcerned about it. 6. What was the house like before John went back once again? A. It was clean. B. It was burned down. C. It was dangerous. D. It was under repair. 7. What can we infer according to the text? A. Two heads are better than one. B. Where there is a will, there is a way. C. Helping others means helping ourselves. D. God helps those who help themselves. C Some 70 countries, mostly in the Americas and Europe, apply Daylight Saving Time during the summer months. Europe’s clocks will move forward once again this weekend. Yet last week the European Union voted to end this long-established practice from 2022. In the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin came up with the idea of moving the clocks forward in the summer. But the practice really took hold during World War I and since then it has brought several benefits. It might increase consumer spending, as shoppers are encouraged to stay out later into the evening. It might even reduce crime. As the saying goes, “The longer the daylight, the less I do wrong.” In spite of all that, clock-changing is unpopular. When the European Union ran a poll（民意调查）among its citizens, it got nearly 5 million responses. Over 80% want to scrap clock-changing, and for good reasons. Although it has not been proven eventually, many scientists think that changing the clocks messes up humans’ biological clock, which may increase the chances of heart attacks and strokes. It could cause car accidents to increase, as drivers who are used to going to work in the daylight, for example, suddenly have to do so in the dark. In addition, many businesses find it extremely inconvenient that countries change their clocks at different times. So, will Europeans choose to stick with winter or summer time? This has not been decided. It could be that each country will choose for itself, though each is likely to take careful note of neighbors’ decisions. The benefit, it seems, is not so much in deciding how long the evening is, or how dark the morning. It is in keeping it consistent throughout the year. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. Clock-changing has more benefits than expected. B. People adopted clock-changing after World War I. C. Clock-changing makes people sleepy in the day time. D. People might spend more money after clock-changing. 9. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Favor. B. Stop. C. Obey. D. Delay. 10. What can we infer about clock-changing in Europe? A. People will continue to use it. B. More changes will be added to it. C. It remains to be seen whether to use it. D. The countries will change their clocks at same times. 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recall the history of clock-changing. B. To stress the benefits of clock-changing. C. To show people’s opinions on clock-changing. D. To introduce the bad effects of clock-changing. D Findings coming from a new report by the Pew Research Center of Washington D. C. show that Americans are worried about new technology. They are concerned that machines, including robots, will take over work now done by humans. About 75 percent of Americans questioned by Pew said automation (自动化) will increase income inequality between the rich and the middle class and the poor. And 64 percent of people expect automation to be so common in America that people will face difficulty finding things to do with their lives. Some of the concerns about technology come from a distrust about whether machines will always make the right decision. Many Americans believe humans have better judgment in dealing with complex matters. One example is selecting a person for a job. Three quarters of Americans said they would not want to apply for a job that uses a computer program to choose the most qualified person. Most Americans want the government to limit automation. For example, 87 percent support a requirement that all driverless vehicles have a human in the driver’s seat, who can take control when needed. And 85 percent want to limit machines to mostly doing jobs that are dangerous or unhealthy for humans. And only 25 percent expect more jobs to come from automation. Pew said. Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder of Facebook, spoke last May to graduating seniors from Harvard University in Massachusetts. His talk centered on the uncertain future facing young people. “Our generation will have to deal with tens of millions of jobs replaced by automation like self-driving cars and trucks,” Zuckerberg told the graduates. Zuckerberg said young people will have to find projects that will bring both jobs and direct benefits to the people of the world. He said in his speech that 300, 000 people worked to put a man on the moon, and millions of people built the Hoover Dam as well as other great projects over the last 100 years. 12. What do Americans think of technology? A. Useful. B. Helpful. C. Effective. D. Undependable. 13. Why do Americans want a human in driverless vehicles? A. To reduce the cost. B. To ensure safety. C. To test the new technology. D. To entertain the passengers. 14. What did Zuckerberg encourage the students to do? A. Fight against robots. B. Consider large projects. C. Explore new job chances. D. Refuse self-driving vehicles. 15. Which of the following can be the title of the text? A. New Technology Creates More Jobs B. Americans Worry Robots Will Take Jobs C. New Technology Makes New Unfairness D. Robots Make Work Easy to Do for Workers 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。 Simple Tips for Spending More Reading Time Reading can make you understand life more.

He turned around, eyeing us, with his tail swinging up and down. My little brother Toby immediately sped up and rushed to where Rubby was. He bent down and picked up something and ran back to us. It was a bunch of keys. We gathered in a circle, examining the keys one by one, hoping to find some useful information about its owner. There were 3 keys, a house key, a mail key and a car key and a unique key fob（吊坠）, very likely designed specially. “Gosh, the owner might be in great trouble.” My sister sighed. She was right. We once lost our keys. Although we had an extra house key, it took our parents quite a long time to get a new mail key, let alone there was a car key. Who might have lost them? After many wild guesses, we finally drew a conclusion: It might belong to someone in our neighborhood as only our neighbors wandered into the woods for a walk. But it was still impossible to figure out who it was. We had a very big neighborhood. “The owner might come back to look for them.” Toby reminded. So we decided to stay where we were, keeping a watchful eye on all passers-by. Our little dog ran in circles of excitement that we stayed so long in the wild. We remained in the woods for two hours, asking everyone we came across whether they lost their keys, but in vain. It seemed we had to give up. But my sister wouldn’t, saying that she just couldn’t stop picturing the owner brushing aside tall grasses hoping to find the lost keys. “How anxious and upset the owner would be!” I took a look at the bunch of keys again and quite by accident found the key fob had the alarm button, “Look! If we press the alarm button, close enough of course, we can set off the owner’s car alarm...” “That’s brilliant.” 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。 We rushed back to our neighborhood. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The door opened and in front of us stood an old lady. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力：ABBCBAACAABBCACCBCBA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
