It is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. In many Asian countries including China, the festival is celebrated as a public holiday, with families gathering and giving thanks for the harvest and full moon. Oktoberfest is another major autumn celebration that, while originating in Germany, has inspired local versions around the globe. The world’s largest folk festival begins in September and runs for about two weeks, featuring traditional Bavarian food, music, clothing, and most importantly, lots of beer! Thanksgiving is also an important celebration for Americans that takes place in late November every year, with seasonal dishes like yams smothered and pumpkin pies always having a place at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Walks, hikes and trips to see the changing foliage are also hugely popular, with locations like Asheville and North Carolina, boasting of some of the most beautiful autumn scenery around. There are also several cultural and religious events that occur throughout October and November. Dia de Los Muertos, on the 1st and 2nd November, is a Mexican celebration that honours the lives of those who have passed away with food, drinks and activities that those loved ones enjoyed when they were alive. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is another spiritual celebration of the victory of light over darkness, and good over evil, which falls on 14th November.

They pitch tents in the southern part of Nagqu town. (在草原的黄金季节，成千上万来自西藏各地的牧民，在他们最好的假期里，带着各种物资骑马来到那曲。他们在那曲镇南部 帐篷。)”可知，这里指牧民在那曲“搭”帐篷，所以猜测pitch表“搭建；建造”的意思，与put up意思一致。故选A项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“On the day for the opening ceremony of the festival, people from all over Tibet will pour into this grassland.

He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world. Hillary’s spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before. Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixties Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金) . It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88. Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand. 8. What was Hillary interested in when he was in high school? A. Mountain-climbing. B. Bee-keeping. C. Money-raising. D. Story-writing. 9. Hillary became well-known because ________. A. he reached both the South Pole and the North Pole B. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. Everest C. he lived in places where no humans had gone D. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper 10. ________ is the right order of Hillary’s expeditions. a．He traveled to the source of the Ganges River. b．He climbed New Zealand’s Southern Alps. c．He reached the summit of Everest. d．He explored the North Pole. A. a-c-d-b B. b-d-c-a C. a-b-c-d D. b-c-a-d 11. We can learn from the passage that Hillary is ________. A. outgoing and fearless B. talented and honest C. determined and caring D. hardworking and careful 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。埃德蒙・希拉里是20世纪伟大探险家，1953年首登珠峰，还涉足南北极等，创立信托基金行善，享年88岁。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school(他在高中时就对登山产生了兴趣。)”可知，希拉里在高中时就对登山产生了兴趣。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.(1953年，希拉里和尼泊尔登山者丹增・诺尔盖成为首批登上世界之巅的两人。)”可知，他因首次登顶珠峰闻名。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文可知，b：第一段“while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps(高中开始攀登新西兰南阿尔卑斯山)”；c：第二段 “reached the summit of Everest in 1953(1953 年登顶珠峰)”；a：第三段“made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source(探秘恒河源头)”；d：第四段“flew to the North Pole in his mid-sixties(六十多岁飞往北极)”。所以正确顺序 b-c-a-d。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world.(到20世纪50年代初，几支探险队试图登顶珠穆朗玛峰，但都失败了。然后，在1953年，希拉里和一位名叫丹增·诺吉的尼泊尔登山者成为第一批登上世界之巅的人。)”和第四段“It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. (它筹集了数百万美元，并为尼泊尔夏尔巴人村庄的学校、医院和许多其他公共设施的改善做出了贡献。)”可知，希拉里是意志力很坚定且有爱心的。故选C项。 D SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should stop accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the dead said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily without new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They advocate (提倡) a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s, quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. However, I will always look on the bright side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 12. By mentioning driverless cars in Paragraph 1, the author wants to . A. present an idea B. introduce the topic C. give an example D. explain the reason 13. Which lifestyle do the Christians living in rural America advocate? A. Caring about luxuries. B. Living in mountain areas. C. Making full use of new technology. D. Focusing on the interaction between people. 14. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To show it is better to use driverless cars. B. To prove new technology will bring dangers. C. To advise people to stop traveling in the new way. D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of new technology. 15. What’s the author’s attitude about technological advances? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12 B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者讨论了新技术的优点和缺点并表明了对技术进步的积极态度。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据标题“SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?(我们应该反对新技术吗？)”，第二段第一句“On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily without new technology.(一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着。)”和第三段第一句“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.(另一方面，新技术多年来为各地的人们提供了许多好处。)”可知，文章主要是讲新技术的好处和坏处以及我们是否应该反对新技术，所以作者在第一段提到无人驾驶汽车是为了引入主题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“They advocate (提倡) a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community.(他们提倡简单的生活，强调努力工作、家庭和社区。)”可知，生活在美国农村的基督徒倡导注重人与人之间的互动的生活方式。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily without new technology.(一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着。)”，第三段第一句“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.(另一方面，新技术多年来为各地的人们提供了许多好处。)”，第四段第一句“Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.(就我个人而言，我从技术进步中获益良多。)”以及最后两句“Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. However, I will always look on the bright side of change and accept it rather than resist it.(当然，当新技术改变我们的生活方式时，这可能是一个可怕的前景。然而，我总是会看到变化的光明面，接受它，而不是抵制它。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是讨论新技术的优点和缺点。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段最后两句“Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. However, I will always look on the bright side of change and accept it rather than resist it.(当然，当新技术改变我们的生活方式时，这可能是一个可怕的前景。然而，我总是会看到变化的光明面，接受它，而不是抵制它。)”可知，作者对技术进步的态度是积极的。故选C。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 We all know that honesty is an important value, and that lying is wrong.____16____Researchers find that we tell on average four lies every day or almost 1,500 every year. ____17____If people tell lies to make others feel better and won’t bring any negative effect, we call them white lies. On contrary to white lies, which refers to well-intentioned lies, black lies are told to deceive someone else for their own advantage. No doubt that black lies are harmful, but not white lies. Lies are often tied in with self-protection.____18____If they feel that they might be hurt, they immediately begin to lie. Also, we all have our own privacy. Maybe parts of the privacy are embarrassing and shameful and we would not like to give them all out. So we tell lies to protect ourselves. On some occasions, it is necessary to tell lies to avoid hurting others’ feelings, particularly when the truth is too miserable to accept. If we tell the truth, people will get hurt.____19____Of course, it’s Ok to tell lies to make them feel better. Anyhow, we should always keep in mind that honesty is the best policy. As a rule, we should try our best to tell the truth and do all times. If there were no lies, could the world be better? I don’t think so.____20____ A. Tell the truth or lie? B. Telling lies is morally wrong. C. However, we all lie and lie all the times. D. For most of us, it is an escape from reality. E. Lies can be divided into black lies and white lies. F. People always care about how others think of them. G. If well-intended, it’s acceptable to tell a little white lie. 【答案】16. C 17. E 18. F 19. A 20. G 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了谎言的两种类型以及该不该说谎的问题。 【16题详解】 根据上文“We all know that honesty is an important value, and that lying is wrong.(我们都知道诚实是一种重要的价值观，而说谎是错误的)”以及后文“Researchers find that we tell on average four lies every day or almost 1,500 every year.(研究人员发现，我们平均每天说谎4次，每年说谎近1500次)”可知，空处内容与上文构成转折，指出人类撒谎的事实。故C选项“然而，我们一直都在撒谎”符合语境，故选C。 【17题详解】 根据本段内容“If people tell lies to make others feel better and won’t bring any negative effect, we call them white lies. On contrary to white lies, which refers to well-intentioned lies, black lies are told to deceive someone else for their own advantage. No doubt that black lies are harmful, but not white lies.(如果人们说谎是为了让别人感觉更好，不会带来任何负面影响，我们称之为善意的谎言。善意谎言指的是善意的谎言，与善意谎言相反，而恶意谎言指的是为了自己的利益而欺骗别人。毫无疑问，恶意的谎言是有害的，但善意的谎言却不是)”可知，本段主要介绍了恶意谎言和善意谎言。故E选项“谎言可以分为恶意谎言和善意谎言”符合语境，可以作为本段的主旨句。故选E。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Lies are often tied in with self-protection.(谎言常常与自我保护联系在一起)”以及后文“If they feel that they might be hurt, they immediately begin to lie. Also, we all have our own privacy. Maybe parts of the privacy are embarrassing and shameful and we would not like to give them all out. So we tell lies to protect ourselves.(如果他们觉得自己可能会受到伤害，他们会立即开始撒谎。而且，我们都有自己的隐私。也许部分隐私是令人尴尬和可耻的，我们不想把它们都给泄露出去。所以我们说谎来保护自己)”可知，上文提到撒谎是为了自我保护，故推测本句陈述人们撒谎的原因：在意别人对他们的看法，故F选项“人们总是关心别人对他们的看法”符合语境，故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“On some occasions, it is necessary to tell lies to avoid hurting others’ feelings, particularly when the truth is too miserable to accept. If we tell the truth, people will get hurt.(在某些情况下，说谎是必要的，以避免伤害他人的感情，特别是当真相太悲惨而无法接受的时候。如果我们说出真相，人们会受到伤害)”和后文“Of course, it’s Ok to tell lies to make them feel better.(当然，为了让他们感觉好一点而说谎是可以的)”可知，后文提到了让别人感觉好点，撒谎也是可以的，故本句主要就说实话还是谎话进行设问。故A选项“说实话还是说谎？”符合语境，故选A。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Anyhow, we should always keep in mind that honesty is the best policy. As a rule, we should try our best to tell the truth and do all times. If there were no lies, could the world be better? I don’t think so.(无论如何，我们应该永远记住诚实是上策。作为一个规则，我们应该尽我们最大的努力说真话，并做到任何时候。如果没有谎言，世界会变得更好吗？我不这么想)”可知，上文提到作者不认为没有谎言世界会变得更好，本句为本段最后一句，应陈述作者对于谎言的看法。故G选项“如果是出于好意，撒个善意的小谎也是可以接受的”符合语境，故选G。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 In China, square dancing is an exercise routine performed to music in squares or parks.

Every week I memorized the new words, and by Friday I was prepared to take the spelling test. I usually got all the words right. My teacher, Mrs Casazza, usually wrote “Excellent!”on the top of my paper. One day, Mrs Casazza announced to the class that we would have a spelling bee (拼字比赛) on Thursday. “Oh, no,” I thought. Last month when I had to stand in the front of the class and give a book report, my arms shook so badly that it was hard to read my paper. I was very conscious of the twenty-seven pairs of eyes on me and all I wanted to do was to run back to my seat. A spelling bee would be even worse. I wouldn’t have a paper to read from! After lunch on Thursday, Mrs Casazza explained the rules. “Say the word, spell it, and then say it again,” she said. “Be careful not to repeat any letters.” One at a time, she pronounced a word for each student to spell. Two boys made mistakes right away and had to sit down. With sweaty hands, I waited for my turn. After the girl next to me correctly spelled her word, Mrs Casazza called my name and said “Your word is ‘echo.’” “Echo,” I started. Then my mind went blank. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to speak out the first letter. But I couldn’t think. My face got hot and I was unable to finish the word. Mrs Casazza had to let me sit down. Afterwards, Mrs Casazza said it worked so well that she decided to have a spelling bee every Thursday. Afraid that I’d mess up again, I didn’t want to go to school the following Thursday. “What’s wrong?” my mother asked. I told her about the spelling bee and explained that I was nervous when they were all looking at me. “You’re a good speller and you do so well in your tests, so just believe in yourself,” Mum said. 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。 The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in myself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Very good,” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in myself. Soon the spelling bee was coming again and my word was“piece”. “Piece,” I started. “P. ” The strange feeling that everyone was staring at me began to appear again，but I remembered what Mum had said.Taking a deep breath, I had a big smile on my face. My mind cleared and I concentrated. Now did the word start with P-I or P-E? I knew this. We’d learned that there is a “pie” in“piece”. “I-E-C-E,” I said. “Piece.” Paragraph 2： “Very good，” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her face. I did it once, so I knew I could do it again. Throughout the year, I even won a few spelling bees. It worked so well that I had so much fun from the spelling bee and looked forward to it every Thursday. Thanks to my mother, I wasn’t afraid of standing in the front of the class. Now, I have more confidence in myself at school, jumping at the chance to give speeches and book reports. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者四年级时参加拼写比赛，但由于紧张不自信，在第一次比赛中失败。回到家后，受到妈妈的鼓励，终于战胜自己内心的恐惧，在下一次比赛时有了出色的表现。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈的鼓励给我我极大的自信”可知，第一段描述作者的妈妈鼓励了作者，于是作者开始重拾信心并开始认真练习的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“非常棒！Mrs. Casazza脸上洋溢着欢快的笑容”可知，第二段描述作者在经过认真的练习之后，有了很大的进步，得到Mrs. Casazza的认可与赞扬，并取得出色成绩，由此获得了自信。 2. 续写线索：妈妈鼓励——收获信心——认真练习——重新比赛——获得认可 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①面带微笑：have a big smile on face→wear a big smile on face ②集中注意力：concentrate→focus ③抓住机会：jump at the chance→take advantage of the opportunity ④做某事很愉快：have fun from doing sth.→have a good time in doing sth. 情绪类 ①担心：be afraid of→be scared of ②给与信心：give much confidence→lift one’s spirits 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, I had a big smile on my face.(运用了非谓语动词作状语) 【高分句型2】It worked so well that I had so much fun from the spelling bee and looked forward to it every Thursday.(运用了so…that….引导结果状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 盐山中学24-25学年第二学期期中考试 高一英语 第I卷（选择题） 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What will the man do after work?

It is held on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar. In many Asian countries including China, the festival is celebrated as a public holiday, with families gathering and giving thanks for the harvest and full moon. Oktoberfest is another major autumn celebration that, while originating in Germany, has inspired local versions around the globe. The world’s largest folk festival begins in September and runs for about two weeks, featuring traditional Bavarian food, music, clothing, and most importantly, lots of beer! Thanksgiving is also an important celebration for Americans that takes place in late November every year, with seasonal dishes like yams smothered and pumpkin pies always having a place at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Walks, hikes and trips to see the changing foliage are also hugely popular, with locations like Asheville and North Carolina, boasting of some of the most beautiful autumn scenery around. There are also several cultural and religious events that occur throughout October and November. Dia de Los Muertos, on the 1st and 2nd November, is a Mexican celebration that honours the lives of those who have passed away with food, drinks and activities that those loved ones enjoyed when they were alive. Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights, is another spiritual celebration of the victory of light over darkness, and good over evil, which falls on 14th November.

In the golden season of grassland, tens of thousands of herdsmen from different parts of Tibet, in their holiday best, come to Nagqu on their horses with different kinds of goods and materials. They pitch tents in the southern part of Nagqu town. During the festival, thousands of tents with paintings of all kinds of Buddhas will be set up in the area, stretching miles. It makes the grassland look like a small town. On the day for the opening ceremony of the festival, people from all over Tibet will pour into this grassland. Colorful flags are flying against the blue sky; horses are racing, herdsmen are showing their riding skills; some are dancing. People around the tent town will be cooking and drinking. This is really a lively picture that you should not miss. After the opening ceremony, the recreational and trade activities will start, such as horse races, carrying rocks, and performing Tibetan operas. All together, these activities will last 3 to 7 days. The horse racing festival has a long history. It dates from the ancient military review in the Tubo tribe in the area. It is also the traditional occasion for horse trade. The buying and selling of horses at these fairs attracts Tibetans from near and far. Nowadays, the local government also attaches great importance to the occasion and considers it a good chance to help the economic development in the area. Business talks are held and modern activities like fashion shows can also be seen there. It has become a bright part in the tourism of Tibet. 4.

Nagqu Horse Racing Festival D. The Tent Town in North Tibet C Climbing in the Clouds Edmund Percival Hillary was one of the greatest explorers of the twentieth century. He was born in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1919. He discovered an interest in mountain climbing while he was still in high school and began climbing New Zealand’s Southern Alps. Like his father, Hillary earned his living as a beekeeper. However, he continued to climb mountains. His goal was to climb Mt. Everest, which is the highest mountain in the world. By the early 1950s, several expeditions (探险队) had attempted to reach the summit of Everest, but all had failed. Then, in 1953, Hillary and a Nepalese (尼泊尔的) climber named Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the top of the world. Hillary’s spirit of exploration was not satisfied. He joined an expedition to Antarctica and reached the South Pole in 1958. He also made an expedition up the Ganges River to its source in the Himalayas. Sir Edmund Hillary was a brave adventurer. He went where no man or woman had gone before. Although Hillary was best known as the young man who climbed to the summit of Mt. Everest in the 1950s, he continued his journeys to far-off places into his senior years. For instance, in his mid-sixties Hillary flew to the North Pole with Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon. Moreover, Hillary authored many books. However, his most lasting gift, perhaps, was the Sir Edmund Hillary Himalayan Trust (信托基金) . It raised millions of dollars and contributed to schools, hospitals and many other public improvements in the Sherpa villages of Nepal. In January 2008, Sir Edmund Hillary died at the age of 88. Despite being a great adventurer and known for the treasure he left, Sir Edmund Hillary always modestly referred to himself as a simple beekeeper from New Zealand. 8. What was Hillary interested in when he was in high school? A. Mountain-climbing. B. Bee-keeping. C. Money-raising. D. Story-writing. 9. Hillary became well-known because ________. A. he reached both the South Pole and the North Pole B. he was the first to reach the top of Mt. Everest C. he lived in places where no humans had gone D. he made a lot of money as a beekeeper 10. ________ is the right order of Hillary’s expeditions. a．He traveled to the source of the Ganges River. b．He climbed New Zealand’s Southern Alps. c．He reached the summit of Everest. d．He explored the North Pole A. a-c-d-b B. b-d-c-a C. a-b-c-d D. b-c-a-d 11. We can learn from the passage that Hillary is ________. A. outgoing and fearless B. talented and honest C. determined and caring D. hardworking and careful D SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY? This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should stop accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the dead said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily without new technology. Probably the most well-known are the Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They advocate (提倡) a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s, quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. However, I will always look on the bright side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 12. By mentioning driverless cars in Paragraph 1, the author wants to . A. present an idea B. introduce the topic C. give an example D. explain the reason 13. Which lifestyle do the Christians living in rural America advocate? A. Caring about luxuries. B. Living in mountain areas. C. Making full use of new technology. D. Focusing on the interaction between people. 14. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To show it is better to use driverless cars. B. To prove new technology will bring dangers. C. To advise people to stop traveling in the new way. D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of new technology. 15. What’s the author’s attitude about technological advances? A. Objective. B. Negative. C. Positive. D. Doubtful. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 We all know that honesty is an important value, and that lying is wrong.____16____Researchers find that we tell on average four lies every day or almost 1,500 every year. ____17____If people tell lies to make others feel better and won’t bring any negative effect, we call them white lies.

Every week I memorized the new words and by Friday I was prepared to take the spelling test. I usually got all the words right. My teacher, Mrs Casazza, usually wrote “Excellent!”on the top of my paper. One day, Mrs Casazza announced to the class that we would have a spelling bee (拼字比赛) on Thursday. “Oh, no,” I thought. Last month when I had to stand in the front of the class and give a book report, my arms shook so badly that it was hard to read my paper. I was very conscious of the twenty-seven pairs of eyes on me and all I wanted to do was to run back to my seat. A spelling bee would be even worse. I wouldn’t have a paper to read from! After lunch on Thursday, Mrs Casazza explained the rules. “Say the word, spell it, and then say it again,” she said. “Be careful not to repeat any letters.” One at a time, she pronounced a word for each student to spell. Two boys made mistakes right away and had to sit down. With sweaty hands, I waited for my turn. After the girl next to me correctly spelled her word, Mrs Casazza called my name and said “Your word is ‘echo.’” “Echo,” I started. Then my mind went blank. Everyone was looking at me, waiting for me to speak out the first letter. But I couldn’t think. My face got hot and I was unable to finish the word. Mrs Casazza had to let me sit down. Afterwards, Mrs Casazza said it worked so well that she decided to have a spelling bee every Thursday. Afraid that I’d mess up again, I didn’t want to go to school the following Thursday. “What’s wrong?” my mother asked. I told her about the spelling bee and explained that I was nervous when they were all looking at me. “You’re a good speller and you do so well in your tests, so just believe in yourself,” Mum said. 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。 The encouragement from Mum gave me much confidence in myself. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Very good,” Mrs Casazza said with a cheerful smile on her face. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
