He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A. To promote artists by showcasing their work. B. To form the connection between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Short-lived. C. Popular. D. Unpromising. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了15岁的多伦多青少年纳林·卡马特因为无法参加评审展览而受挫，但这激发了他为更多年轻艺术家提供展示机会的决心。在父母的支持下，他创办了Little EGG Gallery的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”可知，Nalin Kamat因为年龄问题而被取消了参加评审展览的资格。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段““I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work.(“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery，现在这家画廊通过向任何展示的作品收取小额悬挂费，已经足够盈利来维持生计了。)”可知，他创办Little EGG Gallery的目的是为了给年轻艺术家提供一个展示才华的舞台。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery(那次拒绝成为了他创作的动力。“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery。)”根据第四段“a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void ( 空白) in the art world.”（一个有着非常优秀想法的强大年轻艺术家——为展示年轻人的天才创造了一个空间。这是艺术界的一个空白）可知，Nalin想要为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，于是他租了一个店面并创办了Little EGG Gallery，这是一个创新的想法，因此可以用pioneering（开创性的）来形容他的想法。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist.(到纳林·卡马特13岁时，这位多伦多少年已经踏上了成为职业艺术家的道路。)”、根据文章第二段“That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18.(就在那时，他遇到了一个障碍，在一份多页申请表的最后一行发现提交作品的最低年龄是18岁。)”和文章第三段“That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery(那次拒绝成为了他创作的动力。“我想，如果我能为更多的年轻艺术家提供机会，那就太棒了，”现年15岁的纳林说。在父母的支持下，纳林于2023年1月租了一个店面，并创办了Little EGG Gallery。)”可知，Nalin Kamat在13岁时就举办了自己的画展，并且因为无法参加评审展览而创办了Little EGG Gallery，展示年轻艺术家的作品。这些行为表明他是一个有创造力和奉献精神的人，因此选项B：Devoted and creative(有奉献精神和创造力的)最符合他的特点。故选B。 C Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook. I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 8. Imitation proves useful when you ________. A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 9. What does the underlined word “glorifies” in paragraph 4 mean? A. complains. B. beautifies. C. dominates. D. refuses. 10. The trouble a creator faces is ________. A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creativity. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要讨论了模仿的利弊，强调了创造力的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful.”（在技能或性格发展的早期阶段，模仿是有帮助的。）可知，当你开始学习新东西时，模仿被证明是有用的。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词句子以及后句“In the field of entertainment, our culture …celebrities. Those stars look great on screen.”（在娱乐领域，我们的文化……名人。那些明星在银幕上看起来很棒。）由此可知，此处划线单词和look great呼应，故可猜测划线单词为“颂扬，美化”的意思，结合选项，与B项beautifies“美化”意思一致。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“The problem a creator faces is running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.”（创作者面临的问题是素材不足；它是如何处理敲开想象之门的材料。）可推知，创造者面临的麻烦是：如何创造性地运用想象力。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable.”（盲目模仿是自我毁灭。对于那些没有认识到自己独特价值的人来说，模仿似乎很有吸引力；对于那些知道自己实力的人来说，模仿是不可接受的。）和最后一段“Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.””（研究你的榜样，接受他们给予的礼物，摒弃那些无用的东西。然后你可以说：“我站在祖先的悲剧之上宣告胜利，并且知道他们正在欢呼。”）可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是强调创造力的重要性。故选A项。 D Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise. According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not. Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates. Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility. Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise. While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. 12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes? A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded. B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways. C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small. D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics. 13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims? A. They are supported by comprehensive data. B. They are based on limited driving environment. C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers. D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA． 14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving? A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed. C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly. 15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text? A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. (然而，这些统计数据并不能记录由于汽车的安全特性而避免的事故。)”可知，避免的事故没有被计入撞车统计。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. (特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景，因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的，而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中，有交叉交通、行人和骑自行车的人。)”可知，特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. (全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶，司机需要保持注意力，随时准备干预。)”可知，全自动驾驶需要司机保持专注。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. (特斯拉的自动驾驶汽车最近受到调查，因为一份关于车祸的报告引发了对其安全性的质疑。)”可知，本文主要讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。故选A项。 第二节 七选五 （每题2.5分，满分12.5分） Get lucky!

Now he was 27 years old. He had no friends around. As for his work, delivering newspapers couldn’t support his family. He had a wife, Kara Lewis, but he did not know exactly how to get along with her. His life was in a mess and he couldn’t see his future. That night, Nick had a quarrel with his wife and he’d stormed out of their apartment, leaving his phone behind so she couldn’t contact him. Then he drove the car and smoked in the parking lot; he liked to go there when he needed to be alone. Looking up at the stars, he sat in silence for 15 minutes or so. Then he decided to head home. He was on the way back to the apartment just after the midnight when he saw the house on fire. Flames were climbing up the front porch, lapping at the home’s walls. Hurrying out of the vehicle, he immediately regretted not having his phone. “Hey, help, the house is on fire!” he yelled into the night. Nobody responded. He ran around to the back door. To his amazement, it swung open. Without thinking about the danger, Nick dashed into the burning building. It was a two-story house where Walter family lived with two daughters,18-year-old Kay and 2-year-old Sally. That night the parents were not at home, with their 18-year-old daughter taking care of Sally. The curtains were melting as Nick ran through the hallway of the burning house, peering into rooms that were in flames and searching to see if anyone was home. Just then, one face emerged from a room at the top of the stairs and peered down at him, her eyes wide. “Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Nick yelled, hurrying her out of the house. After they were out into the fresh air, Nick heard the girl kept screaming, “There’s a baby in there! I couldn’t find her in the bedroom.” 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。 Without hesitating, Nick ran back inside again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Outside, the firefighters had arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Without hesitating, Nick ran back inside again. By now, the whole house was in flames. Black smoke was gathering at the ceiling, then pouring down like a monster licking his skin. Upstairs went Nick. He searched under the bed, in the closet and other upstairs bedrooms, but no kid. Sweat forming on his forehead, he choked on smoke, worried and helpless. It was then that he heard the crying from a dark corner. Ears alert, he managed to move towards the sound. In front of him was the little girl, huddling in the dark. With the flames inching closer, Nick quickly lifted the girl into his arms, stumbled down the stairs and into the blackness, throwing himself through the front door. Paragraph 2: Outside, the firefighters had arrived. “2-year-old girl and a man, possibly inside.” A firefighter called out as they rushed to put on their equipment. Just then, Nick came stumbling out from the house, Sally in his arms. He handed over the girl, collapsed on the sidewalk and gasped for air. He had only one thing on his mind: “Is the baby ok?” Fortunately, the girl was uninjured apart from a cut on her arm. Nick was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for first-degree burns to his ankle, leg and arm. Walters visited him and thanked him for rescuing their daughters. Outside the hospital, the story of Nick was already spreading. He was a HERO who had run into a burning building not once, but twice. Nick felt like a different person now with a clear purpose, his wife keeping him company. No quarrels! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，Nick和妻子吵架后离开了家，在外面呆了一段时间后他开车回家。在回家的途中他发现一栋房子着火了，他冲进房子救出了18岁的Kay。当Kay告诉他房子里还有一个婴儿时，Nick再次冲进着火的房子。在黑暗中，Nick找到了Sally，跌跌撞撞的把她抱了出来。Nick因多处烧伤被送往医院接受治疗。女孩的父母来看望Nick，感谢他救了他们的女儿。Nick的故事在医院里传开，他成为英雄。他的妻子陪伴着他，他们不再吵架。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Nick毫不犹豫地再次跑回房子里。”可知，第一段可描写Nick跑回房子里救Sally的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“外面，消防队员已经到了。”可知，第二段可描写Nick把Sally救出后的事情——Nick因伤住院和Sally的父母来看望、感谢Nick等。 2.续写线索：吵架——离家——开车回家——发现房子着火——冲进房子救出Kay——再次冲进房子救出Sally——受伤住院——妻子陪伴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①逐渐增加：gather/accumulate ②蜷缩：huddle/cower ③举起：lift/raise 情绪类 ①担心：worried/concerned ②感谢某人：thank somebody/show appreciation to somebody/show gratitude to somebody/be grateful to somebody 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was then that he heard the crying from a dark corner.（运用强调句型强调时间状语then。） [高分句型2] With the flames inching closer, Nick quickly lifted the girl into his arms, stumbled down the stairs and into the blackness, throwing himself through the front door.（运用with复合结构和现在分词作状语） [高分句型3] Nick was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for first-degree burns to his ankle, leg and arm.（运用由where引导的限制性定语从句） 听力 1—5 CCBBC 6—10 CABCB 11—15 CABAB 16—20 CACAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 江苏省通州高级中学2024-2025学年度高二年级 第一次阶段性测试英语试卷 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) 1.

B By the time Nalin Kamat was 13, the Toronto teen was well on his way to becoming a working artist. He had already had his first show at a local art center, showcasing his series titled “Dispositions”, which illustrated his own growth during adolescence (青少年). Yet he wanted more — specifically to start showing his work in a juried exhibition, where a group of art experts would evaluate and select pieces in a competitive review process. That’s when he hit an obstacle, discovering in the very last line of a multi- page application that the minimum age for submission was 18. That rejection became a motivation for creation. “I thought it’d be really cool if I could provide the opportunity to more young artists,” says Nalin, now 15. With the support of his parents, in January 2023, Nalin rented a storefront and founded Little EGG Gallery, which is now profitable enough to make ends meet by charging a small hanging fee for any displayed work. In turn, Little EGG helps promote young talent by showcasing their work. Not long after opening, David Griffin, a professor and artist of Ontario College of Art and Design University stepped into the gallery and met Nalin. Griffin regards him as someone special: “a strong young artist with a really excellent idea — creating a space for showing the natural genius of young people. It was a void (空白) in the art world.” There Nalin asked Griffin to help judge an upcoming competition. The first juried show was last spring, and five- year - old Jack Gamble won for his abstract painting titled Pokemon. As Nalin was busy with school, life and his own art, Little EGG is mostly open by appointment only, but he’s still committed to growing it with seasonal and themed shows scheduled a few times a year. 4. What do we know about Nalin Kamat from the first two paragraphs? A. He drew teenagers’ growth in his work. B. He became a working artist when aged 13. C. He was disqualified for a juried exhibition. D. He showed his series at the capital art center. 5. Why did Nalin decide to set up Little EGG Gallery? A To promote artists by showcasing their work. B. To form the connection between different galleries. C. To expand his own business through themed shows. D. To show young artists’ talent by offering them a stage. 6. Which of the following can best describe Nalin’s idea of opening the gallery? A. Pioneering. B. Short-lived. C. Popular. D. Unpromising. 7. What kind of person is Nalin Kamat according to the text? A. Helpful and cautious. B. Devoted and creative. C. Humorous and intelligent. D. Knowledgeable and ambitious. C Blind imitation is self-destruction. To those who do not recognize their unique worth, imitation appears attractive; to those who know their strength, imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook. I used recipes and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is running out of material; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve. Then you can say, “I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors’ tragedies and declare victory, and know that they are cheering on.” 8. Imitation proves useful when you ________. A. know you are unique B. lose the balance of life C. begin to learn something new D. get tired of routine practice 9. What does the underlined word “glorifies” in paragraph 4 mean? A. complains. B. beautifies. C. dominates. D. refuses. 10. The trouble a creator faces is ________. A. the lack of strong motivation B. the absence of practical ideas C. how to search for more materials D. how to use imagination creatively 11. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To highlight the importance of creativity. B. To criticize the characters of role models. C. To compare imitation with creation. D. To explain the meaning of success. D Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer” data suggests otherwise. According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not. Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates. Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility. Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise. While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. 12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes? A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded. B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways. C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small. D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics. 13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims? A. They are supported by comprehensive data. B. They are based on limited driving environment. C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers. D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA． 14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving? A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed. C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly. 15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text? A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving 第二节 七选五 （每题2.5分，满分12.5分） Get lucky!

Now he was 27 years old. He had no friends around. As for his work, delivering newspapers couldn’t support his family. He had a wife, Kara Lewis, but he did not know exactly how to get along with her. His life was in a mess and he couldn’t see his future. That night, Nick had a quarrel with his wife and he’d stormed out of their apartment, leaving his phone behind so she couldn’t contact him. Then he drove the car and smoked in the parking lot; he liked to go there when he needed to be alone. Looking up at the stars, he sat in silence for 15 minutes or so. Then he decided to head home. He was on the way back to the apartment just after the midnight when he saw the house on fire. Flames were climbing up the front porch, lapping at the home’s walls. Hurrying out of the vehicle, he immediately regretted not having his phone. “Hey, help, the house is on fire!” he yelled into the night. Nobody responded. He ran around to the back door. To his amazement, it swung open. Without thinking about the danger, Nick dashed into the burning building. It was a two-story house where Walter family lived with two daughters,18-year-old Kay and 2-year-old Sally. That night the parents were not at home, with their 18-year-old daughter taking care of Sally. The curtains were melting as Nick ran through the hallway of the burning house peering into rooms that were in flames and searching to see if anyone was home. Just then, one face emerged from a room at the top of the stairs and peered down at him, her eyes wide. “Your house is on fire. You need to go!” Nick yelled, hurrying her out of the house. After they were out into the fresh air, Nick heard the girl kept screaming, “There’s a baby in there! I couldn’t find her in the bedroom.” 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。 Without hesitating, Nick ran back inside again. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Outside, the firefighters had arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力 1—5 CCBBC 6—10 CABCB 11—15 CABAB 16—20 CACAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
