I was really 4 because it was the first time I had taken part in any competition. Thinking that I might be lucky again, I 5 joining in other art competitions. But the result was that I 6 won again. I accepted the fact that the other people had a 7 artistic ability than I did. Art was not something I was especially interested in and I had never practiced the different art skills. So, the 8 I produced were not of a very high standard. These experiences taught me a lot. Though I might have been lucky 9 , I also need to put in hard work. As we know, 10 makes perfect.

Microsoft created an app that can describe a photo. Huawei made an app that uses sounds to tell users if people they are talking to look happy, sad or angry. Now, Google is testing an app that will allow blind people to run alone. At a Google event in 2019, a blind runner, Thomas Panek, asked a group of experts whether they could create something to help blind people run on their own without a guide dog or human assistant. Panek, CEO of Guiding Eyes for the Blind, had always loved running. But he started losing his eyesight when he was 8, and by his early 20s he was blind. Later in life, he started running with other people or a guide dog to help him. But he didn’t like being dependent on others. The Google team soon created Project Guideline. The Guideline app uses a smartphone camera to recognize a line painted on the ground. Through headphones, the app makes sounds when a person moves away from the line. The sounds get louder in either the left or the right ear the further the person moves away from the line. After first trying the app inside, Panek used it while running outside in a park last August. “For the first time in my life, I didn’t feel like a blind man. I felt free,” Panek said. In November, 2020, Panek successfully ran 5 kilometers around New York City’s Central Park using the app. Panek hopes the app Project Guideline can help more people like him. 1. The app which helps the blind know people’s feelings was made by __________. A. Microsoft B. Google C. Huawei D. Apple 2. Which is NOT true about the Guideline app? A. It can help blind people run inside and outside. B. It uses a smartphone camera to recognize the line. C. It makes sounds when people move away from the line. D. Another person needs to hold the phone for the blind person. 3. What’s the purpose (意图) of writing the passage? A. To introduce a blind runner Thomas Panek. B. To introduce the Guideline app created by Google. C. To show some great apps that can help blind people. D. To show blind people how to use the Guideline app for running. (B) We often talk about the rewards of police work. On Friday, we experienced a moment. Officers got a 911 call from a woman who reported her 81-year-old mother missing. It seemed her mother left her house to take her daily walk, but when she didn’t return, things got a bit terrible because the woman’s mother has dementia (痴呆). The officer P. DeBoe and his partners began a search of the heavily wooden area. After 40 minutes, the old woman was found. At first, she seemed confused at the sudden appearance of police officers, and she asked if the officers were out taking a walk too. They quietly replied “Yes.” After all, it was a beautiful day. And then she seemed relaxed and told them she had lost her way. “No problem,” said Officer Morrison who then gently took her hand and, along with the other officers walked her back to her house. Along the way, the officers made small talks with the old woman, to make her feel more relaxed. When asked what the key to a long, healthy life was, the old woman replied “Eat good and stay active.” Officers meet different situations every day. Some are good, and some are not so good. In this case, a frightening situation for the family ended happily. For that, they were thankful. For us, it’s the rewarding part of policing. I’m glad they not only were able to take Roberta home, but also shared a warm-hearted moment with her in the process. 4. What happened to the 81-year-old woman on Friday? A. She was lost. B. She wanted to ask for help. C. She had dementia. D. She didn’t want to go back home. 5. Why did the officers make small talks with the old woman along the way? A. Because the old woman was a little afraid. B. Because they wanted to relax the old woman. C. Because it was their duty to make small talks. D. Because the old woman’s daughter asked them to do that. 6. Which of the following words best described the officers? A. Brave and kind. B. Strong and proud. C. Serious and smart. D. Nice and responsible. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. An old woman called the police. B. An old woman liked talking her daily walk. C. The policemen kindly sent an old woman home. D. The policemen experienced a warm-hearted moment. (C) 15 Chinese elephants are on a Long March North. Why? No one knows. Maybe they’re looking for better food. Maybe they’ve got lost. Maybe they’re just having an adventure and having a good time. No one is quite sure. But for some reasons, the 15 Asian elephants have been walking their way across China for more than a year, travelling through villages, forests and the edges of the city of Kunming, a population of 8.5 million. Local officials have been tracking the elephants’ movements by unmanned aircraft and asked hundreds of workers to lead villagers away, set up emergency barriers (障碍) to change their routes and stored 18 tons of food for the elephants. But there is still no long-term plan. The 15 elephants have now become international superstars, with fans around the world paying close attention to their journey on the Internet. People are all wondering where they will go next and when they will stop. “What we have to learn is not how to solve the problem, but how to increase tolerance,” said Becky Shu Chen, an expert for Zoological Society of London who has studied elephant-human interactions. “How can we use this event to let everyone pay attention to the issue of living with animals in the world?” 8. Why are the 15 elephants on a Long March North for? A. They’re looking for better food. B. They have been missing. C. They like to risk and have fun. D. Nobody knows the reason. 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Few people are interested in these 15 elephants. B. The elephants have now become international popular. C. The government has a long-term plan on how to deal with the elephants. D. People know about where the 15 elephants will go next and when they will stop. 10. What’s the meaning of underlined word “tolerance” in the last paragraph? A. understanding B. teamwork C. communication D. intelligence 11. What can we infer from the passage? A. The 15 elephants don’t want to go back to their old home. B. It is the most important thing to drive away the 15 elephants. C. The government should set up a local park for the 15 elephants. D. We need to think about the relationship between people and animals. (D) The United States Department of Defense first used a service called ARPANET in the 1960s. Then, in 1990, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Today, more than 4.5 billion people in the world use the Internet. It is such a powerful invention that we’ve probably begun to see its long-term effects. How can one travel 7,000 kilometers in 8 hours? Fly! We all should be thankful to the Orville & Wilbur Wright, commonly known as the The Wright Brothers. They made the first real plane in 1903. But it could fly in the air for only 12 seconds. Later, other inventors improved it and made planes become a common way of transportation in life. Steven Sasson, a Kodak engineer, invented the first digital camera in 1975. The first digital camera had just 0.01 mega pixels (像素), but now, we have digital cameras up to 160 mega pixels. Nearly every smart phone has its own digital camera connected to its back and front. A fridge is the greatest household appliance in history. Before the invention of the fridge, people had to cool their food by using ice and snow. In 1805, Oliver Evans invented the first refrigeration machine. But it was Jacob Perkin who made the first useful fridge in 1834. 12. What is the speed of an airplane according to the passage? A. 875km/h B. 7km/h C. 875m/h D. 700m/h 13. Who was the inventor of the first fridge? A. Oliver Evans. B. Wilbur Wright. C. Jacob Perkin. D. Steven Sasson. 14. What can we learn from the passage? A. The first real plane could fly for only 12 seconds. B. People had to cool their food with water before 1834. C. Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in the 1960s. D. Every smart phone has its own digital camera connected to the front. 15. In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article? A. News. B. Travel. C. Health. D. Science. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A-E选项，选出可以填入1-5各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项徐黑。 In the modern world, people use money every day.

To show blind people how to use the Guideline app for running. 【文章大意】本文主要介绍了一款可以帮助盲人独自跑步的应用程序。 1. 【答案】C 【解析】本题属于细节题之单细节题。根据文章第一段第三句“Huawei made an app that uses sounds to tell users if people they are talking to look happy, sad or angry.”可知，这款帮助盲人了解他人感受的应用是华为公司开发的。故答案为C。 2. 【答案】D 【解析】本题属于细节题之单细节题。根据文章第四段第二、三、四句“The Guideline app uses a smartphone camera to recognize a line painted on the ground. Through headphones, the app makes sounds when a person moves away from the line. The sounds get louder in either the left or the right ear the further the person moves away from the line.”可知，“指南”应用程序使用智能手机摄像头识别画在地上的线。当一个人离开线时，该应用程序会通过耳机发出声音。这个人越远离线，左耳或右耳听到的声音就越大。所以“另外一个人需要为盲人拿着手机”是错误的。故答案为D。 3. 【答案】B 【解析】本题属于推断题之写作意图。根据全文尤其是第一段倒数第一句“Now, Google is testing an app that will allow blind people to run alone.”以及最后一段“Panek hopes the app Project Guideline can help more people like him”可知，本文主要介绍了一款可以帮助盲人独自跑步的应用程序。故答案为B。 (B) We often talk about the rewards of police work. On Friday, we experienced a moment. Officers got a 911 call from a woman who reported her 81-year-old mother missing. It seemed her mother left her house to take her daily walk, but when she didn’t return, things got a bit terrible because the woman’s mother has dementia (痴呆). The officer P. DeBoe and his partners began a search of the heavily wooden area. After 40 minutes, the old woman was found. At first, she seemed confused at the sudden appearance of police officers, and she asked if the officers were out taking a walk too. They quietly replied “Yes.” After all, it was a beautiful day. And then she seemed relaxed and told them she had lost her way. “No problem,” said Officer Morrison who then gently took her hand and, along with the other officers walked her back to her house. Along the way, the officers made small talks with the old woman, to make her feel more relaxed. When asked what the key to a long, healthy life was, the old woman replied “Eat good and stay active.” Officers meet different situations every day. Some are good, and some are not so good. In this case, a frightening situation for the family ended happily. For that, they were thankful. For us, it’s the rewarding part of policing. I’m glad they not only were able to take Roberta home, but also shared a warm-hearted moment with her in the process. 4. What happened to the 81-year-old woman on Friday? A. She was lost. B. She wanted to ask for help. C. She had dementia. D. She didn’t want to go back home. 5. Why did the officers make small talks with the old woman along the way? A. Because the old woman was a little afraid. B. Because they wanted to relax the old woman. C. Because it was their duty to make small talks. D. Because the old woman’s daughter asked them to do that. 6. Which of the following words best described the officers? A. Brave and kind. B. Strong and proud. C. Serious and smart. D. Nice and responsible. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. An old woman called the police. B. An old woman liked talking her daily walk. C. The policemen kindly sent an old woman home. D. The policemen experienced a warm-hearted moment. 【文章大意】本文主要讲述了警察帮忙寻找走丢的老人的事情。 4. 【答案】A 【解析】本题属于细节题之单细节题。根据文章第二段第一句“Officers got a 911 call from a woman who reported her 81-year-old mother missing.”可知，星期五那个81岁的老太太迷路了。故答案为A。 5. 【答案】B 【解析】本题属于推断题之细节推断。根据文章第三段第五句“And then she seemed relaxed and told them she had lost her way.”可知，然后她看起来很放松，告诉他们她迷路了。由此可推断，警官们在路上和老太太闲聊是因为他们想让老太太放松。故答案为B。 6. 【答案】D 【解析】本题属于推断题之人物性格。根据文章第三段中At first, she seemed confused at the sudden appearance of police officers, and she asked if the officers were out taking a walk too.

Then, in 1990, Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web. Today, more than 4.5 billion people in the world use the Internet. It is such a powerful invention that we’ve probably begun to see its long-term effects. How can one travel 7,000 kilometers in 8 hours? Fly! We all should be thankful to the Orville & Wilbur Wright, commonly known as the The Wright Brothers. They made the first real plane in 1903. But it could fly in the air for only 12 seconds. Later, other inventors improved it and made planes become a common way of transportation in life. Steven Sasson, a Kodak engineer, invented the first digital camera in 1975. The first digital camera had just 0.01 mega pixels (像素), but now, we have digital cameras up to 160 mega pixels. Nearly every smart phone has its own digital camera connected to its back and front. A fridge is the greatest household appliance in history. Before the invention of the fridge, people had to cool their food by using ice and snow. In 1805, Oliver Evans invented the first refrigeration machine. But it was Jacob Perkin who made the first useful fridge in 1834. 12. What is the speed of an airplane according to the passage?
