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. 21. 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. 22. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C. Its art performances. D. Its special location. 23. 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 It was my first day of sixth grade. I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs. Foxwell's classes and this made me happy. Over the next three years, Mrs. Foxwell taught me many important things that I will never forget. Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life, Mrs. Foxwell has been my favorite leader. Mrs. Foxwell is one of the most respected people I know. She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated. She taught me respect in many different ways, but mainly how to be respectful in the business world. She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talked to them. Mrs. Foxwell also taught me that I could earn someone's respect by working hard to achieve my goals. In addition to working at Brandywine Springs School, Mrs. Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. Mrs. Foxwell told our class that she would cry because of the amount of work she had to do in very little time. She told our class that working all night at something we don't love is very stressful, so we should try and do something we love. In the end, she taught me that I have to keep my head high and pull through difficulties. I don't think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I did in her class. I created my own 28-page business plan to share with her, my parents, other teachers and my classmates. Although creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work, I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that will help me throughout life. I have had a lot of role models in my life, but one of the greatest ones is Eva Foxwell. She taught me leadership qualities, how to be respectful and why I should work hard. She changes my life for the better and I desire to be like her. 24. How did the author show respect according to Mrs. Foxwell? A. By working hard to achieve goals. B. By looking at people's hands. C. By shaking people's hands firmly. D. By greeting people with joy. 25. What can we know about Mrs. Foxwell according to Paragraph 3? A. She used to be a bank manager. B. She was a business planner. C. She never cried while facing difficulties. D. She insisted on doing everything well. 26. Which of the following can best describe Mrs. Foxwell? A. Rude. B. Kind. C. Humorous. D. Confident. 27. In the author's eyes, Mrs. Foxwell is a(n)________. A. teacher and coworker B. educator and role model C. friend and leader D. coach and manager 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. 28. 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. 29. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Favor. B. Stop. C Obey. D. Delay. 30. 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. 31. 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. 32. What do Americans think of technology? A. Useful. B. Helpful. C. Effective. D. Undependable. 33. 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. 34. 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. 35. 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。 Four habits to live a happier life Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for,and being happy includes so many aspects—mental,physical and spiritual—of our lives.One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness.___36___ Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.

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. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null 2023~2024学年度下学期高二期末考试试卷 英语 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：新外研版选择性必修第三册—选择性必修第四册。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man doing?

It was quite nice seeing people that looked like my dad. I really loved it and the people were lovely. There are Chinese, Indians, and English. So there are three different kinds of customs there. You can walk to one part of the town, and it’s like India; and in another part, it’s like Europe; and in another part, it’s like China.

M: Did you get looked at a lot over there? W: Yeah, I did, because people thought I was half something, and they liked my skin, so I got quite a lot people looking at me, which was quite annoying. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

More people are learning Chinese than before. C. The number of people speaking Chinese is the largest. 19. According to the speaker, which of the following accepts Esperanto? A. Poland. B. The post office. C. International Business Organization. 20. What special example does the speaker give as a world language? A. Esperanto. B. Chinese. C. English. 【答案】18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】Don’t you think the world would be an easier place to live in if we all spoke the same language? There are thousands of different languages spoken around the globe, so it’s no wonder we have such difficulties understanding one another. If you are going to choose a language which everyone in the world would learn, which would you choose? Chinese is spoken by more people than any other language, and English has already been selected as the international language of business and science. Many other people have tried to find an answer to this problem. One of them was Dr Zamenhof—a Polish word expert. In 1887, he introduced Esperanto—a totally new language to the world. Thousands of people took seriously and began to learn to speak it. Today Esperanto is still spoken by eight million people around the world, and it is a language accepted by the post office, so if you address some letter in Esperanto, it will get to the correct place. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Madrid is a popular destination which is considered a city of contrasts with its plentiful historic sites, resting in the shadows of modern skyscrapers. 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. 21. 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. 22. What is the Rastro famous for? A. Good dinner food. B. Various goods. C. Its art performances. D. Its special location. 23. 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】21. B 22. B 23.

I looked at my schedule and saw that I had Mrs. Foxwell's classes and this made me happy. Over the next three years, Mrs. Foxwell taught me many important things that I will never forget. Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life, Mrs. Foxwell has been my favorite leader. Mrs. Foxwell is one of the most respected people I know. She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated. She taught me respect in many different ways, but mainly how to be respectful in the business world. She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talked to them. Mrs. Foxwell also taught me that I could earn someone's respect by working hard to achieve my goals. In addition to working at Brandywine Springs School, Mrs. Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. Mrs. Foxwell told our class that she would cry because of the amount of work she had to do in very little time. She told our class that working all night at something we don't love is very stressful, so we should try and do something we love. In the end, she taught me that I have to keep my head high and pull through difficulties. I don't think I have ever worked as hard in any class as I did in her class. I created my own 28-page business plan to share with her, my parents, other teachers and my classmates. Although creating a business from nothing was a lot of hard work, I really enjoyed it and learned several lessons that will help me throughout life. I have had a lot of role models in my life, but one of the greatest ones is Eva Foxwell. She taught me leadership qualities, how to be respectful and why I should work hard. She changes my life for the better and I desire to be like her. 24. How did the author show respect according to Mrs. Foxwell? A. By working hard to achieve goals. B. By looking at people's hands. C. By shaking people's hands firmly. D. By greeting people with joy. 25. What can we know about Mrs. Foxwell according to Paragraph 3? A. She used to be a bank manager. B. She was a business planner. C. She never cried while facing difficulties. D. She insisted on doing everything well. 26. Which of the following can best describe Mrs. Foxwell? A. Rude. B. Kind. C. Humorous. D. Confident. 27. In the author's eyes, Mrs. Foxwell is a(n)________. A. teacher and coworker B. educator and role model C. friend and leader D. coach and manager 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者介绍了自己最喜欢的老师Eva Foxwell，而且她也是作者一生中最伟大的榜样之一，她教会了作者很多关于领导才能，如何尊重他人，以及为什么应该努力工作等知识。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“ She told me that I needed to have a firm handshake and that I should always look people in the eye when I talked to them. (她告诉我，当我与他们交谈时，我需要握手坚定，且我应该始终直视对方的眼睛)”可知，Foxwell老师告诉作者，当与别人交谈时，握手要坚定，且应该直视对方以示尊重。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In addition to working at Brandywine Springs School, Mrs. Foxwell once worked at a bank as a manager but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful. (除了在Brandywine Springs学校工作，Foxwell老师还曾在一家银行做经理，但她放弃了工作，去教孩子们如何成功)”可知，Foxwell老师曾经是一家银行的经理。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“ She is always kind to everyone and she treats others the way that she wants to be treated. (她总是对每个人都很好，她对待别人的方式就是她想要被对待的方式)”以及第三段中“but she gave that up to teach kids how to be successful (她总是对每个人都很好，她对待别人的方式，她想要被对待)”可知，Foxwell老师对每个人都很友好，她放弃了自己在银行的工作去教孩子们如何取得成功。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Of all of the teachers and coaches I have had in my life, Mrs. Foxwell has been my favorite leader. (在我生命中遇到的所有老师和教练中，Foxwell老师是我最喜欢的领导)”以及最后一段中“I have had a lot of role models in my life, but one of the greatest ones is Eva Foxwell. (在我的生活中有很多榜样，但其中最棒的一个是Eva Foxwell)”可知，Foxwell老师是作者最喜欢的老师，而且作者一生中最伟大的榜样之一就是Foxwell老师。所以在作者眼中，Foxwell老师是一名教育家，同时也是自己的榜样。故选B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. 28. 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. 29. Which of the following best explains “scrap” underlined in paragraph 3? A. Favor. B. Stop. C. Obey. D. Delay. 30. 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. 31. 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】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. 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。 【28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。 【29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。 【30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。 【31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. 32. What do Americans think of technology? A. Useful. B. Helpful. C. Effective. D. Undependable. 33. 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. 34. 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. 35. 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】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. 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。 【32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。 【33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。 【34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。 【35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。 Four habits to live a happier life Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for,and being happy includes so many aspects—mental,physical and spiritual—of our lives.One of the key principles of having a happier life is to always do things that bring us happiness.___36___ Consider the following habits to improve your life and make it as happy as you possibly can.

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） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
