A. That B. It C. As D. Such 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句和形式主语。句意：令人难以置信的是，卢卡斯先生尽管非常富有，却过着简朴的生活。此处为“it作形式主语，that引导的主语从句作真正主语”结构，所以此处使用代词it，位于句首，首字母需大写。故选B项。 2. He is thought ___foolishly .Now he has no one but himself to blame for losing the job. A. to act B. to have acted C. acting D. having acted 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词不定式。句意：人们认为他干了蠢事。现在丢了工作只能怪他自己。句型“有人认为..已....”可用It is thought/ believed/ ...that sb have/has done...结构。从句中的动作发生在主句动作之前。该结构可转化为sb is thought/believed +不定式的完成式。故选B项。 3. A Peking Opera performance is a magical ________ of drama, music, song, dance, mime,acrobatics, fantastic makeup and costumes. A. connection B. bond C. relationship D. combination 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意：京剧表演是戏剧、音乐、歌曲、舞蹈、哑剧、杂技、奇幻的化妆和服装的神奇结合。 A. variation变化； B. bond纽带； C. relationship关系； D. combination结合。 根据“drama, music, song, dance, mime, acrobatics, fantastic makeup and costumes”可知，此处表示京剧表演是多种艺术形式的神奇“结合”，所以空白处填combination。故选D。 4. I’d appreciate ________ if you could let me know in advance whether or not you will come. A. it B. you C. one D. this 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查it用法。句意：如果你能提前告诉我你是否会来的话，我将非常感激。appreciate后跟接if或when从句时，其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句，若语义上需要接这类从句，需借助it，it作形式宾语。故选A。 【点睛】使用appreciate的四点习惯 1）习惯上不接不定式作宾语，其后可接名 (代)词、动名词、名词性从句等作宾语，但不能接不定式。如： We shall appreciate hearing from you again.能再次收到你的来信，我们将十分感激。 I appreciate that you have come here so early. 感谢你来得这么早。 2）习惯上不用“人”作宾语，其后只能接“事”作宾语，而不能接“人”作宾语 (注意：这与thank 的用法恰恰相反)。 正：I appreciate your kindness. 谢谢你的好意。误：I appreciate you for your kindness. 正：He thanked her for her kindness. 他感谢她的好意。误：He thanked her kindness. 3）后接if或when从句时习惯上要先接it。其后不直接跟if或when引导的从句，若语义上需要接这类从句，需借助it。 如：I would appreciate it very much if you would help me with it. 如果你能帮助我做这事，我会十分感激。 We really appreciate it when she offered to help. 她来帮忙了，我们十分感激。 4）关于修饰语的搭配习惯，要表示程度，可用 deeply, highly, (very) much 等副词修饰。如：I deeply appreciateyour kindness. 我深深感谢你的好意。 He highly appreciated their help. 他非常感谢他们的帮助。 注意：much 修饰 appreciate时，只能置于其前，而不能置于其后但 very much 却可以)。如：我们非常感谢你的邀请。正：We much appreciate your invitation.正：We appreciate your invitation very much. 误：We appreciate your invitation much. 5. ______ makes this shop different is that it offers more personal services. A. What B. Who C. Whatever D. Whoever 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查主语从句。句意：这家店的不同之处在于它提供更多的个性化服务。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，且表示 “……的事”，应用 what引导，故选 A。 6. It doesn’t ________ how we actually look — the only thing that’s important is ________ we feel about ourselves. A. emphasize; what B. matter; how C. stress; which D. count; why 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查动词和表语从句引导词辨析。句意：我们实际的外貌并不重要——唯一重要的是我们对自己的感觉如何。A. emphasize; what强调，所……的；B. matter; how重要，如何；C. stress; which强调，哪一个；D. count; why重要，为什么。count作“重要”讲时，通常用于“sth counts”的结构，而此句是“it doesn’t...” 的形式，所以用 matter更合适，“it doesn't matter”是常用表达，意为“没关系；不重要”。第二个空处引导表语从句，此处表示“我们对自己感觉如何”，强调方式，用how引导表语从句。故选B。 7. —Remember? He can make a fire by rubbing pieces of wood together. That’s pretty clever. ________. —I think so, too. A. Are you serous? B. What’s your take on this? C. How is it going? D. Are you sure about it? 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】考查情景交际辨析。句意：——还记得吗？他可以通过摩擦木块来生火。那真是太聪明了。你对这件事怎么看？——我也这么认为。A. Are you serious?你是认真的吗？B. What’s your take on this?你对这件事怎么看？C. How is it going?情况怎么样？D. Are you sure about it?你确定吗？根据下文“I think so, too.(我也这么认为)”可知，空处询问对方对这件事的看法，B项符合语境。故选B。 8. After ________ communication with the base five days later, the astronaut was informed that it will be eight months before a rescue mission on Mars from Earth. A. returning; reaches B. recovering; lands C. restoring; jumps D. resuming; arrives 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析。句意：五天后与基地恢复通讯后，宇航员被告知，来自地球的火星救援任务将在八个月后到达。A. returning; reaches返回，到达；B. recovering; lands恢复，登陆；C. restoring; jumps修复，跳跃；D. resuming; arrives恢复，到达。根据第一个空后的communication可知，基地恢复通讯。resume communication表示“恢复通讯”。recover意为 “恢复（健康等）；找回”，通常指身体或事物从受损状态恢复到正常状态，与 communication搭配不太合适。restore意为 “恢复；修复”，强调将某物恢复到原来的状态或位置，一般用于修复建筑、文物等具体事物，在此处不太恰当；第二个空处表示到达火星。arrives意为“到达”，是不及物动词，arrive on Mars表示“到达火星”。reach意为“到达”，是及物动词，后面直接接地点，不需要介词。故选D。 9. — Did you ask the guard _______ happened? — Yes, he told me all _______ he knew. A. what; that B. what; what C. which; which D. that; that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句和定语从句。句意：——问警卫发生什么事了吗？——是的，他告诉了我他所知道的一切。 第一空为宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，表示“什么”应用连接代词what引导；第二空为限制性定语从句修饰先行词all，关系词指代先行词在从句中作宾语，先行词为all时，只能用关系代词that引导。故选A。 10.

A. thank; whatever B. remove; whenever C. appreciate; however D. contact; wherever 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析和让步状语从句。句意：重要的是，我们要更好地了解我们的野生邻居，甚至学会欣赏它们，无论它们如何适应我们的城市生活方式。A. thank感谢，whatever无论什么；B. remove移除，whenever无论何时；C. appreciate欣赏，however无论怎样；D. contact联系，wherever无论哪里。根据our wild neighbours可知，第一个空格处应表达“欣赏”野生动物的意思，故用appreciate。根据they adapt to our ways of urban living可知，第二个空格处应表达“无论如何”的意思，故用however。故选C。 11. These shoes look very good. I wonder ________. A. how much cost they are B. how much do they cost C. how much they cost D. how much are they cost 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：这些鞋子看起来很不错，我想知道它们多少钱。空处引导宾语从句，在宾语从句中，要用陈述句语序，即“连接词 + 主语 + 谓语 + 其他”，所以C项是正确的。故选C。 12. （2014·浙江） While staying in the village, James unselfishly shared whatever he had with the villagers without asking for anything ______ . A. in return B. in common C. in turn D. in place 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查介词短语辨析。句意：在农村期间，James无私地和村民们分享他所拥有的，不求任何回报。A. in return 作为回报；B. in common 共同；C. in turn 反而、轮流； D. in place在适当的位置、适当的。分析语境再根据without可知，此处用in return和前面的without一起表示“不求回报”的意思。故选A项。 13. Spotting the car with its window ________ open, a thoughtful passerby quickly alerted the owner, ________ community awareness and care. A. leaving; showing B. staying; presenting C. left; displaying D. kept; exhibiting 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】考查动词词义辨析以及非谓语动词。句意：一个细心的路人发现那辆车的窗户还开着，便迅速提醒了车主，展现出了社区意识和关怀。第一个空考查“with + 宾语 + 宾语补足语”的结构，window与 leave之间是被动关系，即“车窗被留下开着”，所以用 left 作宾语补足语。而stay和keep虽然也有“保持”的意思，但在此处不如leave能准确表达“使车窗处于开着的状态”这一含义。display有“展示，显示”的意思，强调通过行为或表现来展现某种特质或情况，display community awareness and care表示路人的行为显示出了社区意识和关爱。第二个空需要非谓语动词作状语。show也有“展示”之意，但更侧重于把东西给别人看或表明某种情况，用在此处不如display贴切；present 有“呈现，展示”的意思，通常用于呈现礼物、报告等，在此处不太合适；exhibit有 “展览，展示”的意思，一般用于展示物品或展示某种能力等，与“community awareness and care”搭配不太恰当。第二个空需要用现在分词作结果状语，表示自然而然的结果。故选C。 14. Mary wrote an article on the team had failed to win the game. A. why B. what C. who D. that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查宾语从句。句意：Mary写了一篇关于为什么这支队伍没有赢得比赛的文章。A. why conj. 为什么；B. what pron. 什么；多么；C. who conj. 所；pron. 谁；D. that用于某些动词、名词和形容词引出处各种从句。分析句子结构可知，空处所在的句子为介词on后的宾语从句，从句主谓宾齐全，缺少原因状语，表示原因需用why。故选A项。 15. Great changes have taken place in that school. It is no longer ___ it was 20 years ago, ___ it was so poorly equipped. A. what, when B. that, which C. what, which D. which, that 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查表语从句和非限制性定语从句。句意：那个学校已经发生了巨大的变化，它不再是20年前那样子了，那时它的教学设备是如此之差。第一个是表语从句it is (no longer)...，从句it was后缺表语，应用连接代词what，第二个是非限制性定语从句，定语从句中缺少时间状语，应用关系副词when。故选A。 第二节 完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分，满分20分) 阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Virginia third-grader has won two national awards for her exceptional skill in handwriting.

The freeing of slaves started with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (解放宜言) on September 22, 1862. Emancipation means setting free from another’s power. When slaves were emancipated, they were made into free men and women. The Emancipation Proclamation became official on January 1,1863, but it wasn’t until two and a half year later on June 19, 1865, that the last of the slaves in Texas were freed. Some slaves stayed on the plantations, and kept on working. The difference was that they were now free workers, and were paid. But many more left the plantations, as they felt that this was the first step toward freedom. Some went north and others headed off to find family in neighboring states. It was a very insecure time for the former slaves as they tried to fit into a society that had previously only thought of them as slaves. The celebration of June 19th every year gave stability to the lives of the members of the black community as they established themselves. Soon the June 19th celebration was known as “Juneteenth”. However, towards the turn of the century, the Juneteenth celebrations began to die down. Young people didn’t feel the same connection with the emancipation of the slaves. During the time of the Depression many people moved into cities, and it was difficult for them to take time off to celebrate Juneteenth. Then, during the Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s, Juneteenth celebrations gathered new strength. On January 1, 1980, the Juneteenth celebrations received status as an official state holiday in Texas. Since then several states have followed Texas in making Juneteenth a state holiday. Juneteenth is a time for African-Americans and others living in the community to get together and celebrate their freedom. But why is this celebration still important today? To many African-Americans, Juneteenth is as important as any country’s Independence Day. It is a celebration of freedom and togetherness. 36. What is the purpose of the Juneteenth celebration? A. To memorize heroes of the Civil War. B. To honor the liberation of the slaves. C. To celebrate the Independence Day. D. To bring African-Americans together again. 37. Why do many people left the plantations after they were free? A. They thought they were not well-paid. B. They wanted to find a safe place. C. They had no place to stay there. D. They thought it as the first step towards freedom. 38. What is the difference for the former slaves working on the plantations after June 19,1865? A. They were free workers doing a paying job. B. They became owners of the plantations. C. They naturally fitted into the society. D. They didn’t get real freedom. 39. When did Juneteenth celebrations become official in Texas? A. On September 22, 1862. B. On January 1, 1863. C. On June 19, 1865. D. On January 1, 1980. 40. What can we learn from the text? A. It took three years for all slaves to get freedom. B. Juneteenth celebrations have been popular all the time. C. African-Americans placed a high value on Juneteenth. D. Depression boosted the development of Juneteenth celebrations. 【答案】36. B 37. D 38. A 39. D 40. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了美国六月节的由来、发展历程以及其对非裔美国人的重要意义。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Juneteenth celebration, held every year on June 19th, is a reminder of the end of slavery in the United States.(每年6月19日举行的六月节庆祝活动，是对美国奴隶制结束的一种纪念)”可知，六月节庆祝活动的目的是纪念奴隶的解放。故选B项。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But many more left the plantations, as they felt that this was the first step toward freedom.(但更多的人离开了种植园，因为他们觉得这是走向自由的第一步)”可知，许多人离开种植园是因为他们认为这是走向自由的第一步。故选D项。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Some slaves stayed on the plantations, and kept on working. The difference was that they were now free workers, and were paid.(一些奴隶留在种植园继续工作。不同的是，他们现在是自由工人，并且有报酬)”可知，1865年6月19日之后，在种植园工作的前奴隶的不同在于他们是有报酬的自由工人。故选A项。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“On January 1, 1980, the Juneteenth celebrations received status as an official state holiday in Texas.(1980年1月1日，六月节庆祝活动在德克萨斯州获得了正式州节日的地位)”可知，六月节庆祝活动在德克萨斯州于1980年1月1日正式成为州节日。故选D项。 【40题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“To many African-Americans, Juneteenth is as important as any country’s Independence Day. It is a celebration of freedom and togetherness.(对许多非裔美国人来说，六月节和任何一个国家的独立日一样重要。这是对自由和团结的庆祝)”可知，对非裔美国人来说，六月节和任何一个国家的独立日一样重要。由此推知，非裔美国人非常重视六月节。故选C项。 B An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away. “It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said. Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish. Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would runaway in fear. However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes. My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature. Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice. As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance. The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside. 41. What was the author’s initial reaction to the smell of the stinky tofu? A. He was so excited as to try it at once. B. He felt sick and moved the dish out of his reach. C. He was curious and wanted to know more about it. D. He was indifferent and didn’t care about the smell. 42. When did the author’s initial impression of her Uncle Chan change? A. After he tasted the stinky tofu for the first time. B. When he first met him at her grandmother’s house. C. During a personal encounter where he showed him kindness. D. When he learned more about his condition of Down syndrome. 43. How did the author’s idea of her Uncle Chan change over time? A. He became more afraid of him as he grew older. B. He always saw him as a strange and frightful person. C. He hardly understood his condition and always avoided him. D. He feared him due to his condition at first but saw his virtues later. 44. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to ________. A. describe a precious childhood memory B. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan C. introduce a traditional Chinese food D. analyze the family relationship 45. What is the main message the author wants to convey in writing the passage? A. That stinky tofu is a delicious and valuable dish. B. That family traditions are important and should be cherished. C. That disabled people should be treated with sympathy and pity. D. That one shouldn’t judge a person based on outward appearances. 【答案】41. B 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者从对臭豆腐的排斥到接受，以及对患有唐氏综合征的叔叔从恐惧到理解的态度转变，传达了不应以貌取人的道理。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away.(当那碗油炸臭豆腐被放到奶奶的餐桌上时，一股难闻的气味钻进了我的鼻子里。我立刻向后一靠。这股气味破坏了我的食欲，于是我把那盘臭豆腐推开了)”可知，作者最初对臭豆腐的反应是感到恶心并把盘子移开。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes.(他缓缓地在我身旁坐下，轻柔地抚摸着我的脸，就像一位母亲轻抚婴儿那样。他那茫然的神情中浮现出一个灿烂的笑容。他的笑容是多么美好啊！我情不自禁地也回以微笑。我的恐惧渐渐消散，肌肉也放松了下来。我第一次在他的眼中看到了温柔与温暖)”可知，作者在一次个人会面中，感受到了叔叔Chan的善意，这使得作者对叔叔Chan的最初印象发生了改变。故选C。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would run away in fear.(作为一个不成熟的男孩，我从来没有理解过我叔叔的唐氏综合症。在我眼里，他是个不友好、可怕的家伙。他经常在房子里走来走去，自言自语。每当他在视线范围内，我都会害怕地跑开)”以及第六段中“Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.(就像臭豆腐一样，我叔叔的唐氏综合症一开始也让我保持距离。然而，我了解到，在内心深处，他是无害的，并且有着爱的天性)”可知，作者起初因为叔叔患有唐氏综合征而害怕他，但后来逐渐了解到他内心深处是无害的，有着爱的天性。故选D。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature.(我叔叔很像臭豆腐。臭豆腐外面闻起来难闻，但里面却温暖柔软。就像臭豆腐一样，我叔叔的唐氏综合症一开始也让我保持距离。然而，我了解到，在内心深处，他是无害的，并且有着爱的天性)”可知，作者将臭豆腐和叔叔进行比较，是为了强调叔叔的本性是善良和充满爱的，这与臭豆腐外面难闻但里面温暖柔软的特性相似。故选B。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，再根据最后一段中“Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside.(臭豆腐不仅美味，还给我们上了一堂宝贵的课：永远不要以貌取人，因为真正的美来自内心)”可知，作者想要传达的主要信息是不应该以外表来评判一个人，真正的美来自内心。故选D。 C “More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. “Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected, in an automated way, drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload,and a Bayesian filtering approach (贝叶斯滤波法) to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad. “It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car.” “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Dr Lee Skrypchuk. 46 What is the main function of Ahmad’s algorithm? A. Assessing people’s driving skills. B. Stimulating drivers’ best driving state. C. Collecting traffic information from surrounding areas. D. Finding the appropriate time for driver-vehicle interactions. 47. What does the underlined word “flustering” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Blaming. B. Monitoring. C. Disturbing. D. Restricting. 48. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. The driver requested a speed increase. B. The driver was in a relaxed driving state. C. The driver had switched on the headlights. D. The driver encountered complex road conditions. 49. What distinguishes this machine learning application from many others? A. It is highly adaptable. B. It is of amazing accuracy. C. It needs simple data processing. D. It is limited to specific drivers. 50. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety B. ADAS:A Model for Future Autonomous Driving C. The Wide Application of New In-Vehicle Systems D. Autonomous Vehicles: Redefining the Driving Experience 【答案】46. D 47. C 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员开发算法以确定驾驶员与车载系统的交互时机。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. (该算法分析驾驶员的行为、路况等，以衡量驾驶员的工作负荷，从而使驾驶员和车载系统(如导航系统和高级驾驶员辅助系统)能够在正确的时间进行交互)”可知，Ahmad的算法的主要功能是找到驾驶员与车辆交互的合适时间。故选D。 【47题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句““Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad.(“在不熟悉的地区驾驶可能意味着工作负荷很大，所以我们应该避免flustering驾驶员，而在我们附近驾驶可能意味着工作负荷较低，这是屏幕上出现信息的合适时机”Ahmad说)”可知，前后句为转折关系，后文提到附近驾驶意味着工作负荷较低，是屏幕上出现信息的合适时机，那么前文应是指在不熟悉的地区驾驶可能意味着工作负荷很大，所以要避免打扰驾驶员，因此划线词flustering的意思是“打扰”。故选C。 【48题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. (当LED灯变红，并且他们认为自己处于低负荷状态时，他们被要求按下手指佩戴的按钮)”可知，在实验中，按下手指佩戴的按钮表明驾驶员处于放松的驾驶状态。故选B。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中““Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad.(“大多数像这样的机器学习应用程序都是在特定驾驶员的数据上进行训练的，但这个应用程序使我们能够使用简单的贝叶斯过滤技术相应地调整模型”Ahmad说)”和“It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car. (它可以很容易地适应不同的道路类型和条件，或者不同的驾驶员使用同一辆车)”可知，这个机器学习应用程序与其他许多应用程序的不同之处在于它具有很高的适应性。故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中““More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. (剑桥大学工程系的巴沙尔·艾哈迈德博士表示：“越来越多的数据正通过车载系统提供给驾驶员。然而，除非你了解驾驶员的状态，否则向他们提供这些信息既不安全也不实际。”)”和第二段中“Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. (Ahmad和其他研究人员一起开发了一种算法来解决这个问题)”以及下文对这种算法的介绍可知，文章主要介绍了研究人员开发了一种算法来确定驾驶员与车载系统交互的最佳时间，以提高驾驶安全性和体验，因此本文的最佳标题是A选项“Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety (用于提高道路安全的机器学习)”。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 (共45分) 第四部分：读写综合 第一节：单词运用 (共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 根据句子意义选择适合该句的单词，并根据语境和运用构词法知识用其正确形式填空，使句子意义通顺完整。其中有一个单词多余。 grace expose resemble boost overlook bother terrify assume acknowledge infer departure 51.

I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 71. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 72. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 73. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 74. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 75. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 【答案】71. By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine 72. She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 73. She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 74. Stay/Remain/Live/Hide 75. Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。短文通过克拉拉所提出的“好奇号”被选为火星探测器的名字。告诉人们好奇心的重要性。 【71题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye.”我早早地完成了作业，拿起了儿童时代杂志。一条消息吸引了我的眼球。由此可知，克拉拉是通过童时代杂志得到征文比赛的消息的。故答案为：By reading a Time for Kids magazine. Or: From a Time for Kids magazine. 【72题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA.”可知，2012年8月5日晚上10点31分，名为“好奇”号的火星车安全降落在火星表面，我很荣幸能在美国宇航局获得前排座位。由此可知，为什么克拉拉在美国宇航局获得前排座位是因为她在美国宇航局举办的论文竞赛中获胜。故答案为：She won the essay contest held by NASA. Or: She named the Mars rover “Curiosity”. Or: “Curiosity” was chosen as the name of the Mars rover. 【73题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars”可知，我记得当我还是个小女孩的时候，我和祖母会在后院一起坐上几个小时。她会给我讲故事并指出星星。故答案为：She sat together with Grandma listening to her stories about stars. Or: Her grandma told her stories about stars. Or: They sat together talking about stars. 【74题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。所以我们人类不能老呆在一个地方。故答案为：Stay/Remain/Live/Hide. 【75题详解】 开放性试题。根据最后一段“People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.”可知，人们经常问我为什么要去火星这样遥远的地方。我的答案很简单，因为我们都很好奇。我们人类不会躲在一个地方。我们不断地在想，并试图找出山那边、地平线那边是什么。由此判断出，为什么好奇心是如此的重要是因为怀着好奇心，我们不断地问问题，探索未知的世界。故答案为：Curiosity is important because it leads to discovery or inventions. Or: With curiosity, we keep asking questions and exploring the world unknown. Or: Curiosity drives us through our lives so that we never stop wondering about the things beyond our knowledge. 第四节：书面表达(满分15分) 76. 假设你是华星中学的李建。你将代表学校参加所在城市举办的中学生英语演讲比赛，主题为“Actions for Greener Earth”。请根据以下内容提示撰写一份演讲稿参赛： (1) 目前地球所面临的环境问题(如各种环境污染、野生动物的栖息地骤减等)； (2) 提出解决问题的建议(如倡导绿色出行、建立更多自然保护区等)； (3) 号召人们采取行动，建设人类命运共同体，保护“绿色地球”。 参考表达: 人类命运共同体 a human community with a shared future 注意: (1) 词数不少于100； (2) 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon!

I am Li Jian from Huaxing Middle School. The topic of my speech is “Actions for Greener Earth”. Nowadays, our planet is facing numerous environmental challenges. Industrial waste and pollutants are contaminating water sources, while excessive carbon emissions lead to global warming, which is endangering countless species. Additionally, deforestation and urban expansion have drastically reduced the habitats of wild animals, pushing many of them to the brink of extinction. To address these issues, we should take immediate actions. First, we can promote green transportation, such as cycling and taking public transit, which helps reduce carbon emissions. Second, governments should establish more nature reserves where endangered species can thrive and reproduce safely. Let’s work together to build a human community with a shared future. Only when everyone takes responsibility can we protect our green Earth and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. Thank you! 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以演讲稿形式围绕“Actions for Greener Earth”展开，呼吁大家保护环境，共建人类命运共同体。 【详解】1.词汇积累 导致：lead to→result in 除此之外：additionally→in addition 解决：address→solve 促进：promote→enhance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Additionally, deforestation and urban expansion have drastically reduced the habitats of wild animals, pushing many of them to the brink of extinction. 拓展句：Additionally, deforestation and urban expansion, which have drastically reduced the habitats of wild animals, are pushing many of them to the brink of extinction. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Industrial waste and pollutants are contaminating water sources, while excessive carbon emissions lead to global warming, which is endangering countless species.（运用了which引导的非限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Second, governments should establish more nature reserves where endangered species can thrive and reproduce safely.（运用了where引导的限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天津市耀华中学2024-2025学年度第二学期期中学情调研 高二年级英语学科 本试卷分为第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分，共100分，考试时间为100分钟。 答卷前，请务必将自己的姓名、考号、座位号填写在答题卡上相应位置。答卷时，务必将答案涂写在答题卡上，答在试卷上的无效。考试结束后，将答题纸收回。 祝各位同学考试顺利! 第Ⅰ卷 (共55分) 第一部分：听力理解 (共15小题;每小题0.5分，满分7.5分) 第一节 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.

The freeing of slaves started with Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation (解放宜言) on September 22, 1862. Emancipation means setting free from another’s power. When slaves were emancipated, they were made into free men and women. The Emancipation Proclamation became official on January 1,1863, but it wasn’t until two and a half year later on June 19, 1865, that the last of the slaves in Texas were freed. Some slaves stayed on the plantations, and kept on working. The difference was that they were now free workers, and were paid. But many more left the plantations, as they felt that this was the first step toward freedom. Some went north and others headed off to find family in neighboring states. It was a very insecure time for the former slaves as they tried to fit into a society that had previously only thought of them as slaves. The celebration of June 19th every year gave stability to the lives of the members of the black community as they established themselves. Soon the June 19th celebration was known as “Juneteenth”. However towards the turn of the century, the Juneteenth celebrations began to die down. Young people didn’t feel the same connection with the emancipation of the slaves. During the time of the Depression many people moved into cities, and it was difficult for them to take time off to celebrate Juneteenth. Then, during the Civil Rights movements of the 1950s and 1960s, Juneteenth celebrations gathered new strength. On January 1, 1980, the Juneteenth celebrations received status as an official state holiday in Texas. Since then several states have followed Texas in making Juneteenth a state holiday. Juneteenth is a time for African-Americans and others living in the community to get together and celebrate their freedom. But why is this celebration still important today? To many African-Americans, Juneteenth is as important as any country’s Independence Day. It is a celebration of freedom and togetherness. 36. What is the purpose of the Juneteenth celebration? A. To memorize heroes of the Civil War. B. To honor the liberation of the slaves. C. To celebrate the Independence Day. D. To bring African-Americans together again. 37. Why do many people left the plantations after they were free? A. They thought they were not well-paid. B. They wanted to find a safe place. C. They had no place to stay there. D. They thought it as the first step towards freedom. 38. What is the difference for the former slaves working on the plantations after June 19,1865? A. They were free workers doing a paying job. B. They became owners of the plantations. C. They naturally fitted into the society. D. They didn’t get real freedom. 39. When did Juneteenth celebrations become official in Texas? A. On September 22, 1862. B. On January 1, 1863. C. On June 19, 1865. D. On January 1, 1980. 40. What can we learn from the text? A. It took three years for all slaves to get freedom. B. Juneteenth celebrations have been popular all the time. C. African-Americans placed a high value on Juneteenth. D. Depression boosted the development of Juneteenth celebrations. B An unpleasant smell floated into my nose as the bowl of fried stinky tofu (臭豆腐) settled onto my grandmother’s dinner table. I immediately sat back. The smell ruined my appetite, and I pushed the dish away. “It’s supposed to stink. Just give it a try!” my grandmother said. Holding my breath, I unwillingly took a bite. To my surprise, the tofu beneath the fried skin was warm, soft, and mouthwatering. Since then, whenever I visited my grandmother’s house, I would rush to the kitchen for the stinky tofu with excitement. Thus, stinky tofu became more than a household tradition. It became my favorite dish. Along with the stinky tofu, I would meet my Uncle Chan on every visit. As an immature boy, I never understood my uncle’s condition of Down syndrome (唐氏综合征). He was an unfriendly and terrible creature in my eyes. He constantly walked around the house, talking to himself. Whenever he was within view, I would runaway in fear. However, one day, my view of my uncle suddenly changed. I was just getting out of my bed when I heard soft steps approaching. It was my uncle. My muscles froze. He slowly sat next to me and touched my face gently, as a mother would stroke (抚摸) a baby. A wide smile emerged from his blank expression. How beautiful his smile was! I could not help but smile back. My fear disappeared gradually and my muscles relaxed. For the first time, I could see softness and warmth in his eyes. My uncle very much resembles stinky tofu. Stinky tofu smells unpleasant on the outside, yet feels warm and soft on the inside. Like stinky tofu, my uncle’s Down syndrome made me keep my distance at first. Yet, I learned that deep inside, he is harmless and has a loving nature. Some people tend to look down upon disabled people and regard them as unfit for a regular life. As I was unable to see through the outer surface of the tofu, these people are unable to see through the surface of prejudice. As a result, they judge the disabled with one glance. The outside and inside of the stinky tofu exist as two extremely different worlds. Perhaps that is what makes it such a tasty dish. Not only is it delicious, stinky tofu offers a valuable lesson: never judge people at first glance, for true beauty comes from the inside. 41. What was the author’s initial reaction to the smell of the stinky tofu? A. He was so excited as to try it at once. B. He felt sick and moved the dish out of his reach. C. He was curious and wanted to know more about it. D. He was indifferent and didn’t care about the smell. 42. When did the author’s initial impression of her Uncle Chan change? A. After he tasted the stinky tofu for the first time. B. When he first met him at her grandmother’s house. C. During a personal encounter where he showed him kindness. D. When he learned more about his condition of Down syndrome. 43. How did the author’s idea of her Uncle Chan change over time? A. He became more afraid of him as he grew older. B. He always saw him as a strange and frightful person. C. He hardly understood his condition and always avoided him. D. He feared him due to his condition at first but saw his virtues later. 44. The comparison between stinky tofu and the author’s uncle serves to ________. A. describe a precious childhood memory B. highlight the nature of Uncle Chan C. introduce a traditional Chinese food D. analyze the family relationship 45. What is the main message the author wants to convey in writing the passage? A. That stinky tofu is a delicious and valuable dish. B. That family traditions are important and should be cherished. C. That disabled people should be treated with sympathy and pity. D. That one shouldn’t judge a person based on outward appearances. C “More and more data are made available to drivers through in-vehicle systems. However, it’s not safe or practical to inform drivers of the information unless you know the state of the driver,” said Dr Bashar Ahmad from Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. Ahmad, together with other researchers, developed an algorithm (算法) to address this problem. The algorithm analyzes the driver’s behaviour, road conditions etc. to measure the driver’s workload so that the driver and the in-vehicle systems such as navigation (导航) and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) could interact at the right time. “Driving in an unfamiliar area may mean a high workload, so we should avoid flustering the driver then, while driving in our neighborhood may involve a lower workload, making it the right time for a message to appear on a screen,” said Ahmad. To measure drivers’ workload, the researchers first collected, in an automated way, drivers’ subjective workload information during driving. For the experiment, a phone showing a route on a navigation app was fixed to the car, next to a small LED ring light that would flash at regular periods. Participants all followed the same route through a mix of rural, urban and main roads. They were asked to push a finger-worn button whenever the LED light turned red and they perceived they were in a low-workload situation. Video analysis of the experiment, paired with the data from the buttons, allowed the researchers to identify high-workload situations. The researchers used the on-road data to develop a machine learning framework to assess drivers based on their average workload,and a Bayesian filtering approach (贝叶斯滤波法) to estimate the drivers’ real-time workload. “Most machine learning applications like this are trained on data from a particular driver, but this application enables us to adjust the models accordingly using a simple Bayesian filtering technique,” said Ahmad. “It can easily adjust to different road types and conditions, or different drivers using the same car.” “This research is vital for understanding the impact of our design from a user’s perspective, so that we can continually improve safety and driving experiences,” said Senior Technical Specialist Dr Lee Skrypchuk. 46. What is the main function of Ahmad’s algorithm? A. Assessing people’s driving skills. B. Stimulating drivers’ best driving state. C. Collecting traffic information from surrounding areas. D. Finding the appropriate time for driver-vehicle interactions. 47. What does the underlined word “flustering” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Blaming. B. Monitoring. C. Disturbing. D. Restricting. 48. What did pressing a finger-worn button indicate in the experiment? A. The driver requested a speed increase. B. The driver was in a relaxed driving state. C. The driver had switched on the headlights. D. The driver encountered complex road conditions. 49. What distinguishes this machine learning application from many others? A. It is highly adaptable. B. It is of amazing accuracy. C. It needs simple data processing. D. It is limited to specific drivers. 50. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Machine Learning for Improving Road Safety B. ADAS:A Model for Future Autonomous Driving C. The Wide Application of New In-Vehicle Systems D. Autonomous Vehicles: Redefining the Driving Experience 第Ⅱ卷 (共45分) 第四部分：读写综合 第一节：单词运用 (共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分) 根据句子意义选择适合该句的单词，并根据语境和运用构词法知识用其正确形式填空，使句子意义通顺完整。其中有一个单词多余。 grace expose resemble boost overlook bother terrify assume acknowledge infer departure 51.

I still remember that chilly December day, sitting in science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and picked up a Time for Kids magazine. A piece of news caught my eye. NASA was holding an essay contest to name its Mars rover (火星探测器). Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity. I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started on my essay. That afternoon, I raced home, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. “Curiosity is an everlasting flame that burns in everyone’s mind…” Five months later, my mom received a phone call, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. On August 5, 2012, at 10:31 p.m., the rover named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was honored to have a front-row seat in NASA. Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandmother and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. She’d tell me stories and point out the stars. Grandma lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas, but the stars kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars My answer is simple because we’re curious. We human beings do not just hole up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon. 71. How did Clara get the news about the essay contest? (no more than 10 words) 72. Why did Clara have a front-row seat in NASA? (no more than 10 words) 73. What does Clara remember about the time spent with Grandma? (no more than 15 words) 74. What does the underlined phrase “hole up” mean? (1 word) 75. In your opinion, why is curiosity important? (no more than 20 words) 第四节：书面表达(满分15分) 76. 假设你是华星中学的李建。你将代表学校参加所在城市举办的中学生英语演讲比赛，主题为“Actions for Greener Earth”。请根据以下内容提示撰写一份演讲稿参赛： (1) 目前地球所面临的环境问题(如各种环境污染、野生动物的栖息地骤减等)； (2) 提出解决问题的建议(如倡导绿色出行、建立更多自然保护区等)； (3) 号召人们采取行动，建设人类命运共同体，保护“绿色地球”。 参考表达: 人类命运共同体 a human community with a shared future 注意: (1) 词数不少于100； (2) 开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Ladies and gentlemen, Good afternoon!
