Bangkok In general,the more Westernized the place is,the more likely you will be expected to leave a tip.Some top-end restaurants will add a 10%service charge to the bill.If 高二年级英语试题第3页（共12页） 菱细扫描全能王创建 not,waiters will appreciate you tacking on()the 10%yourself.However,if you're eating at a lower-end(restaurant a tip is not necessary.If you're staying at one of Bangkok's many five-star hotels,expect to tip the porter20to50baht(泰国货币单 )depending on how many bags you have.Taxis are now metered in Bangkok.Local custom is to round the fare()up to the nearest five baht. Hong Kong Tipping is customary in this money-mad metropolis ()Most restaurants add a 10%service charge to the bill,but the extra money often ends up in the pocket of the owner.If the service is good,add another 10%to the bill,up to HK $100 in an especially nice restaurant.For HK $10 hotel porters should do it at all but the nicest hotels where a new HK $20 bill may be more acceptable.When in a taxi,round up to the nearest dollar. Kuala Lumpur Tipping in Malaysia is limited to the expensive Westernized hotels,which often add a 10%service charge to your meal or hotel room.If you are at a hotel restaurant,expect a 10%service charge.But at local restaurants,there's no need to add a tip.At five-star hotels,,one or two ringgit(马来西亚货币单位)will content a porter.At lower-end buildings,you don't have to tip.Like Bangkok,many taxis are now metered so you can just round up to the nearest ringgit. Seoul Tipping is not part of Korean culture,although it has become a matter of course in international hotels where a 10%service charge is often added.If you're at a Korean barbecue joint(烧烤处)，there's no need to add anything extra.But a nice Italian restaurant may require a 10%contribution.If you're at a top-end hotel,so expect to pay 500~1 000 won per bag.Taxi drivers don't accept a tip.Keep the change for yourself. 21.In Bangkok city,if your taxi fare is 12.8 baht,you'd better pay A.10 baht B.12 baht C.15 baht D.13 baht 22.In terms of tipping,what do the four cities have in common? A.The lower-level restaurants are,the lower tips you give. B.The higher-level hotels are,the more tips you shouldn't give. C.10%tips are universal and enough in the four cities. D.In native restaurants,all of them are not necessary to tip 23.According to the passage,we can learn that tipping may arise from A.Seoul B.Bangkok C.Hong Kong D.western countries 高二年级英语试题第4页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 B As far as I can remember,my body and I have shared a relationship of discontent. Growing up,I was skinnier than the other kids and at five I was told I wasn't attractive and that I must put on some weight.But no matter how much I ate,I stayed thin for years until adolescence.Then I started putting on weight almost immediately.I remember feeling happy as I began to fill out.However,my joy didn't last long. I was thirteen when I was first called fat.Friends and neighbors would make jokes on my big size.As I entered my late teens,I had completely lost confidence in my body and,subsequently,in myself.Having failed to live up to conventional beauty standards,I was convinced that if I wanted to be loved,I needed to offer more,doing anything to please everyone around. I entered adulthood thinking I wasn't "enough"-an idea that was seeded not only by the fact that"skinny"is celebrated,but also by the language associated with accounts of losing weight-self-improvement,discipline-all virtues.Being fat quickly categorizes you as lazy and undisciplined.Consumed by thoughts of the way my body looked,I didn't notice the other ways my body needed attention.I failed to realize,for example,that my period was much heavier and more painful than ever before.Actually I developed a rare disease and later I had two surgeries. I was always made to feel that my weight was the root of a lot of problems in my life;I have learned this is not true.After a lot of self-reflection and some professional help,I realized I never learned to like myself.While two decades of self-hatred cannot be undone overnight,I have taken first steps to acceptance. I am now much lighter than before,in body and mind.There are days I find voices on social media saying I am too fat to be loved or to be worthy,but I am learning not to focus on that thought for long.As long as I like myself,just the way I am,opinions at the end of the day are just water off a duck's back. 24.What conclusion can we draw as to the author from the first two paragraphs? A.She could change her weight at will. B.She was greatly influenced by others'opinions. C.She had different beauty standards from others. D.She tried to love others to build her confidence. 25.From the mainstream's viewpoint of the body shape,what shouldn't be valued? A.Being skinny. B.Being moderate. C.Being strong. D.Being overweight. 26.What does the underlined phrase mean? A.A wet duck. B.Something important. C.Nothing worth focusing on. D.A drowned cat. 高二年级英语试题第5页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 27.What can we leamn from the text? A.Beauty is all. B.Leave your weight as it is. C.Mind your weight. D.Change yourself. C The Tianzhou 8 robotic cargo ship was launched on Friday night in Hainan province,becoming the last spacecraft to visit China's Tiangong space station this year. With the cargo vessel on top of it,a Long March 7 carrier rocket lifted off at 11:13 pm local time from a launch service tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center,according to the China Manned Space Agency. After a short flight,the rocket placed the Tianzhou 8 into its preset low-Earth orbit and the solar wings on the cargo ship unfolded,marking the successful completion of the launch mission,the agency said. The spacecraft is scheduled to approach and then dock with the space station's Tianhe core module within three hours after its launch. As the 15th spaceship to visit Tiangong,Tianzhou 8 is tasked with resupplying propellants(n.[航]推进剂)to the Chinese space station and delivering living and work necessities for the Shenzhou XIX astronauts,who have been in orbit for two weeks. The materials inside the cargo vessel are sufficient to support a three-member crew for nine months,according to its designers at the China Academy of Space Technology. Tianzhou 8's predecessor,Tianzhou 7,was unlocked from the Tiangong space station on Sunday and started a period of solo flight. It is programmed to fall back to Earth soon,and most of the spaceship will burn up during reentry,,although a small amount of debris(n.残骸，碎片)is expected to fall into secure areas in the South Pacific Ocean,according to the director Mr Ma from the space agency. Orbiting Earth at a distance of around 400 kilometers,Tiangong has three permanent parts-一a core module(n.[航天器的]舱)and two science capsules-一and is regularly connected to several visiting crew and cargo spaceships. 28.What is the sign that shows the success of this launch mission? A.That the Long March 7 carrier rocket lifted off at 11:13 pm. B.That Tianzhou 7 was unlocked from the Tiangong space station on Sunday. C.That Tianzhou 7 entered a low-Earth orbit and the solar wings unfolded. D.That Tianzhou 8 functioned well in planned orbit. 29.What is the attitude of the director Mr Ma towards the reentry of the Tianzhou 7? A.Pessimistic. B.Optimistic. C.Neutral. D.Ambiguous. 高二年级英语试题第6页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 30.We can infer from the passage that A.the best launch time for Tianzhou 7 is at night B.Tianzhou 8 entering its preset low-Earth orbit is the last part of its mission C.all the debris of the spaceship will be burnt during reentry D.the supplies in Tianzhou 8 are enough to support a single member crew for over two years 31.What is the main idea of the passage? A.China launches Tianzhou 8 cargo craft to send supplies. B.Tianzhou 8 is safe to launch. C.How the Tianzhou 8 cargo craft works. D.The Tianzhou 8 cargo craft was last launched. D Presently,people are increasingly interacting with others in social media environments where algorithms()control the flow of social information they see.People's interactions with online algorithms may affect how they leam from others,with negative consequences including social misperceptions,conflict and the spread of misinformation. On social media platforms,algorithms are mainly designed to amplify ( information that sustains engagement,meaning they keep people clicking on content and coming back to the platforms.There is evidence suggesting that a side effect of this design is that algorithms amplify information people are strongly biased()to leam from.We call this information "PRIME",for prestigious,in-group,moral and emotional information. In our evolutionary past,biases to learn from PRIME information were very advantageous:Learning from prestigious(有声望的)individuals is efficient because these people are successful and their behavior can be copied.Paying attention to people who violate moral norms is important because punishing them helps the community maintain cooperation.But what happens when PRIME information becomes amplified by algorithms and some people exploit()algorithm amplification to promote themselves? Prestige becomes a poor signal of success because people can fake prestige on social media.News become filled with negative and moral information so that there is conflict rather than cooperation. The interaction of human psychology and algorithm amplification leads to malfunction because social learning supports cooperation and problem-solving,but social media 高二年级英语试题第7页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 algorithms are designed to increase engagement.We call it functional mismatch.One of the key outcomes of functional mismatch is that people start to form incorrect perceptions of their social world,which often occurs in the field of politics.Recent research suggests that when algorithms selectively amplify more extreme political views,people begin to think that their political in-group and out-group are more sharply divided than they really are.Such "false polarization"might be an important source of greater political conflict. So what's next?A key question is what can be done to make algorithms facilitate accurate human social learning rather than exploit social learning biases.Some research team is working on new algorithm designs that increase engagement while also punishing PRIME information.This may maintain user activity that social media platforms seek,but also make people's social perceptions more accurate. 32.What is the ultimate intention of social media algorithms? A.Raising the media platform clicking rate. B.Generating PRIME information. C.Avoiding side effects of social media. D.Improving social environment. 33.Which one is not a feature of the functional mismatch? A.It tends to increase engagement. B.It is a kind of social learning. C.People start to form misperceptions. D.It always happens in the field of politics. 34.In accordance with the author,algorithms will be improved in order to A.identify biases and punish PRIME information B.strengthen social learning and delete biases C.boost engagement and regulate amplification D.monitor media platforms and guarantee users'privacy 35.What is the best title of the text? A.Social media algorithms twist human social learning B.Algorithms control the flow of social information C.PRIME information meets with misperceptions D.Online algorithm designs face unexpected challenges 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。 高二年级英语议题第8页（共12页） 扫描全能王创建 It is Friendship that needs care and attention to keep it in good health.36. ·Set a regular date Long-lasting friendships share the characteristic that both sides equally contact( )and share with one another.With busy schedules,squeezing in phone calls can be a challenge.Try to find a time that works for both of you and stick to it. More isn't always merrier Make sure you have communicated with your friend about how frequently each of you wants to be contacted and what method works best for you both.37.There are alternatives to constant written communication,such as leaving voice messages or having a group chat. ·Practise empathy(共情) 38.The friend who is remaining needs to be sensitive to all the additional time demands placed on the friend who has moved.The one in the new environment should be sympathetic to the fact that your friend may feel abandoned. Remember important dates Anniversaries and birthdays carry even more weight in long-distance friendships. Although technology might make day-to-day communication possible,extra effort goes a long way on special days.39. Don't rely on technology alone 40,but long-distance friendships-even close ones-may require more conscious effort to sustain.Try to seek out chances to renew friendships.How to do it?Just spend face-to-face time together whenever possible. A.Time is very valuable B.Compensate by writing letters C.Here are five ways to sustain long-distance friendships D.Simply keeping a diary of friends'birthdays and other important dates will do E.Friends need to talk about their preferred methods of communication F.It is easy to have a sense of connectedness through social media G.You may be the friend who left or the one who was left behind 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。 In 2016,Liu Tang,a student at the National Academy of Chinese Theatre Arts,saw corals at an aquarium for the first time.
