Guẻa Trumpe t Festival The trumpet is a part of daily life in Serbia—present at births, celebrations, and burials. And the annual event has been going strong for more than 50 years to celebrate the instrument and its cultural significance in this country.

B The first thing that Valoy saw when she put on color-blind corrective glasses was green- the vibrancy（活力） of the grass and tree and later, the brilliance of red in stop signs and flowers. Valoy says it's unbelievable and she has struggled with certain topics, especially the painting class in school and she would even paint the ocean purple before that. Valoy wasn't diagnosed with red-green color blindness until the fourth grade. “For the past 17 years, I've lived in a ‘black and white movie’,” the recent Louis E. Dieruff High School graduate says. But not anymore. The transformative moment all started with a public speaking class Valoy took. After she made an informative speech about growing up with her color deficiency（缺陷）, her teacher, Sandy Kile, was inspired to teach the class a more important life lesson. Kile made a suggestion that the class should reach out to companies that produced corrective glasses to see if they would donate a pair to Valoy. While Kile encouraged Valoy to write a description of living in a world with mostly shades of grey and brown, her classmates wrote accompanying statements about why she needed the glasses. “I didn't expect much for that,” Valoy says. “Professor Kile truly believed it was going to happen but we were not sure.” It wasn't so surprising when the first company turned down their request. Then, the class received reply from the founder of Pilestone Inc., offering Valoy and six other community members his glasses for free. “started this business by trying to make some difference to people,” founder Ben Zhuang says. Valoy is grateful to Kile and her classmates for their efforts. But Kile says that she is very glad the students have the chance to realize the significance of lending a hand to those in need, and that being able to aid Valoy in changing her life is something she will never forget the rest of her life. 4. Why is Valoy's painting class referred to? A. To give an example of Valoy's sufferings. B. To stress Valoy's serious attitude to study. C. To prove the importance of wearing glasses. D. To prevent people from having color blindness. 5. How did Valoy feel when Kile offered the advice? A. Frightened. B. Excited. C. Uncertain. D. Hopeful. 6. What do we know about Valoy? A. She made a speech to call for donation. B. She wasn't the only one to get the glasses. C. She only understood black and white movies. D. She didn't know her problem until she was 17. 7. What did Kile try to teach the class? A. The magic of creativity. B. The power of great efforts. C. The benefit of technology. D. The value of offering help. C For the first time, Robert Ferl of the University of Florida’ s Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences and other researchers planted thale cress (拟南芥), a small flowering plant, in moon soil collected by NASA’s Apollo astronauts during the Apollo tasks. They wanted to see if moon soil could be used to grow food by the next generation of moon explorers. But the scientists had no idea if anything would grow in soil from the moon. The good news was that all of the seeds grew. The bad news was that after the first week, the moon soil stressed the plants so much that they grew slowly. Most of the plants ended up small or not fully developed. The longer the soil was blown by solar wind on the moon, the worse the plants seemed to grow. “The soil collected by the Apollo 11 task was the least helpful for growth,” the scientists said. One solution might be to use younger spots on the moon for digging up soil. The environment could also be changed by adding special nutrient mixtures or lighting. Sharmila Bhattacharya, a NASA’s program scientist for space biology, said, “The fact that seeds grew means that we have a really good starting point, and now the question is how to make further progress.” The Florida scientists hope to reuse their moon soil later this year, planting more t hale cress before possibly moving on to other plants. “It is a big step forward successfully growing plants in moon soil,” Simon Gilroy of the University of Wisconsin-Madison said. “The real next step is to go and do it on the surface of the moon.” 8. Why did researchers plant thale cress in moon soil? A. To recycle moon soil to avoid unnecessary waste. B. To increase the productivity of this special plant. C. To see if it is possible to grow food in moon soil. D To prove the soil collected by Apollo 11 useless. 9. What made the thale cress grow slowly? A. Lighting. B. Lack of solar wind. C. Special nutrient mixtures. D. Stress from moon soil. 10. What is Sharmila Bhattacharya’s attitude to the experiment result? A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Disappointed. D. Doubtful. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Way to Plant Thale Cress in Moon Soil B. Scientists Grow Plants in Soil From the Moon C. Astronauts Successfully Collected Moon Soil D. The Further Development of Organic Farming D The California Public Utilities Commission approved (批准) a driverless ride-hailing (打车) service launched by Cruise, a company controlled by automaker General Motors. Previously, self-driving taxis had human drivers as back-ups. Another robotic car pioneer, Waymo, has already been charging passengers for rides in parts of San Francisco in autonomous (自动的) vehicles with a back-up human driver present to take control if something goes wrong with the technology. Now Cruise has been permitted to charge for rides in autonomous vehicles that will have no other people in them beside the passengers—a dream that a wide variety of technology companies and traditional automakers have wanted to realize. The driverless vehicles are used as a way to make taxi rides less expensive while reducing the traffic accidents and deaths caused by careless human drivers. The service will include just 30 vehicles to transport passengers in less crowded parts of San Francisco from 10 pm to 6 am. Besides being limited by times when fewer passers-by on the streets and places where there is less traffic, Cruise’s driverless service won’t be allowed to operate in bad weather such as heavy rain or fog. Those limitations are designed to reduce chances of the autonomous taxis causing injuries or death, and also allow the company to observe how the technology works before enlarging business. While Cruise’s application for the driverless taxi service in San Francisco won broad support from those who hope the technology will be used in other cities, some transportation experts said that the Public Utilities Commission must think it over. “Many of the claimed benefits of autonomous vehicles have not been shown, and some claims have little or no basis,” said Ryan Russo, the director of the transportation department in Oakland, California. 12. What is a dream of technology companies and traditional automakers? A. To provide driverless taxi service at any time. B. To offer driverless ride service in bad weather. C. To supply passengers free rides in San Francisco. D. To operate autonomous cars without human drivers. 13. What can we know about the driverless taxi service by Cruise? A. It will be free of charge in San Francisco. B. It will cause no traffic accidents or deaths. C. It is limited by time and place. D. It transports passengers in crowded streets. 14 What does Ryan Russo seem to agree with? A. Cruise’s service will cause unavoidable injuries. B. Benefits of autonomous vehicles remain to be seen. C. The driverless taxis should be used in other cities. D. Human drivers are needed in case of something wrong. 15. In which section of a magazine may you find the text? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Entertainment. 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。 Living in a different country can be a culture shock for many people, so make sure you know about the food, customs and culture of the place you are planning on moving to. ____16____.

They wanted to see if moon soil could be used to grow food by the next generation of moon explorers. But the scientists had no idea if anything would grow in soil from the moon. The good news was that all of the seeds grew. The bad news was that after the first week, the moon soil stressed the plants so much that they grew slowly. Most of the plants ended up small or not fully developed. The longer the soil was blown by solar wind on the moon, the worse the plants seemed to grow. “The soil collected by the Apollo 11 task was the least helpful for growth,” the scientists said. One solution might be to use younger spots on the moon for digging up soil. The environment could also be changed by adding special nutrient mixtures or lighting. Sharmila Bhattacharya, a NASA’s program scientist for space biology, said, “The fact that seeds grew means that we have a really good starting point, and now the question is how to make further progress.” The Florida scientists hope to reuse their moon soil later this year, planting more t hale cress before possibly moving on to other plants. “It is a big step forward successfully growing plants in moon soil,” Simon Gilroy of the University of Wisconsin-Madison said. “The real next step is to go and do it on the surface of the moon.” 8. Why did researchers plant thale cress in moon soil? A. To recycle moon soil to avoid unnecessary waste. B. To increase the productivity of this special plant. C. To see if it is possible to grow food in moon soil. D. To prove the soil collected by Apollo 11 useless. 9. What made the thale cress grow slowly? A. Lighting. B. Lack of solar wind. C. Special nutrient mixtures. D. Stress from moon soil. 10. What is Sharmila Bhattacharya’s attitude to the experiment result? A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Disappointed. D. Doubtful. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Way to Plant Thale Cress in Moon Soil B. Scientists Grow Plants in Soil From the Moon C. Astronauts Successfully Collected Moon Soil D. The Further Development of Organic Farming 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员在月球土壤中种植拟南芥的实验及结果，探讨月球种植食物的可能性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“They wanted to see if moon soil could be used to grow food by the next generation of moon explorers.(他们想看看月球土壤是否能被下一代月球探索者用来种植食物)” 可知，研究人员在月球土壤中种植拟南芥是为了验证在月球土壤中种植食物的可能性。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The bad news was that after the first week, the moon soil stressed the plants so much that they grew slowly.(坏消息是，第一周后，月球土壤对植物造成了极大的压力，导致它们生长缓慢)”可知，拟南芥生长缓慢的原因是月球土壤对其造成的压力。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The fact that seeds grew means that we have a really good starting point, and now the question is how to make further progress.(种子能够生长的事实意味着我们有了一个非常好的起点，现在的问题是如何取得进一步进展)”可知，Sharmila Bhattacharya认为实验结果是一个积极的开端，并强调下一步是改进方法。这表明她对实验结果持乐观态度。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要围绕科学家在月球土壤中成功种植拟南芥的实验展开，讨论了实验过程、结果及未来研究方向。选项B“Scientists Grow Plants in Soil From the Moon(科学家在月球土壤中种植植物)”直接概括了文章的核心内容，最适合作为本文标题。故选B。 D The California Public Utilities Commission approved (批准) a driverless ride-hailing (打车) service launched by Cruise, a company controlled by automaker General Motors. Previously, self-driving taxis had human drivers as back-ups. Another robotic car pioneer, Waymo, has already been charging passengers for rides in parts of San Francisco in autonomous (自动的) vehicles with a back-up human driver present to take control if something goes wrong with the technology. Now Cruise has been permitted to charge for rides in autonomous vehicles that will have no other people in them beside the passengers—a dream that a wide variety of technology companies and traditional automakers have wanted to realize. The driverless vehicles are used as a way to make taxi rides less expensive while reducing the traffic accidents and deaths caused by careless human drivers. The service will include just 30 vehicles to transport passengers in less crowded parts of San Francisco from 10 pm to 6 am. Besides being limited by times when fewer passers-by on the streets and places where there is less traffic, Cruise’s driverless service won’t be allowed to operate in bad weather such as heavy rain or fog. Those limitations are designed to reduce chances of the autonomous taxis causing injuries or death, and also allow the company to observe how the technology works before enlarging business. While Cruise’s application for the driverless taxi service in San Francisco won broad support from those who hope the technology will be used in other cities, some transportation experts said that the Public Utilities Commission must think it over. “Many of the claimed benefits of autonomous vehicles have not been shown, and some claims have little or no basis,” said Ryan Russo, the director of the transportation department in Oakland, California. 12. What is a dream of technology companies and traditional automakers? A. To provide driverless taxi service at any time. B. To offer driverless ride service in bad weather. C. To supply passengers free rides in San Francisco. D. To operate autonomous cars without human drivers. 13. What can we know about the driverless taxi service by Cruise? A. It will be free of charge in San Francisco. B. It will cause no traffic accidents or deaths. C. It is limited by time and place. D. It transports passengers in crowded streets. 14. What does Ryan Russo seem to agree with? A. Cruise’s service will cause unavoidable injuries. B. Benefits of autonomous vehicles remain to be seen. C. The driverless taxis should be used in other cities. D. Human drivers are needed in case of something wrong. 15 In which section of a magazine may you find the text? A. Technology. B. Health. C. Travel. D. Entertainment. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了Cruise公司获准在旧金山提供无人驾驶出租车服务，但存在一些限制和争议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Now Cruise has been permitted to charge for rides in autonomous vehicles that will have no other people in them beside the passengers—a dream that a wide variety of technology companies and traditional automakers have wanted to realize.(现在Cruise已经被允许在无人驾驶汽车上收费，除了乘客之外没有其他人——这是许多科技公司和传统汽车制造商一直想要实现的梦想。)”可推测，科技公司和传统汽车制造商的梦想是无人驾驶汽车。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The service will include just 30 vehicles to transport passengers in less crowded parts of San Francisco from 10 pm to 6 am. Besides being limited by times when fewer passers-by on the streets and places where there is less traffic, Cruise’s driverless service won’t be allowed to operate in bad weather such as heavy rain or fog. Those limitations are designed to reduce chances of the autonomous taxis causing injuries or death, and also allow the company to observe how the technology works before enlarging business.(这项服务将只包括30辆车，从晚上10点到早上6点在旧金山不太拥挤的地区运送乘客。除了受到街道上行人较少的时间和交通较少的地方的限制外，Cruise的无人驾驶服务还不允许在大雨或大雾等恶劣天气下运行。这些限制是为了减少自动驾驶出租车造成伤害或死亡的可能性，同时也让公司在扩大业务之前观察这项技术的运作情况。)”可知，Cruise的无人驾驶出租车服务是有时间和地点限制的。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While Cruise’s application for the driverless taxi service in San Francisco won broad support from those who hope the technology will be used in other cities, some transportation experts said that the Public Utilities Commission must think it over. “Many of the claimed benefits of autonomous vehicles have not been shown, and some claims have little or no basis,” said Ryan Russo, the director of the transportation department in Oakland, California.(虽然Cruise在旧金山申请的无人驾驶出租车服务赢得了那些希望将这项技术应用于其他城市的人的广泛支持，但一些交通专家表示，公共事业委员会必须考虑一下。“许多声称的自动驾驶汽车的好处都没有得到证明，有些说法几乎没有根据，甚至根本没有根据，”加利福尼亚州奥克兰市交通运输部主任Ryan Russo说。)”可知，Ryan Russo认为自动驾驶汽车是否有好处还拭目以待。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The California Public Utilities Commission approved (批准) a driverless ride-hailing (打车) service launched by Cruise, a company controlled by automaker General Motors.(加州公用事业委员会批准了由通用汽车控股公司Cruise推出的无人驾驶叫车服务。)”以及全文内容可知，本篇文章和科技相关。故选A。 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。 Living in a different country can be a culture shock for many people, so make sure you know about the food, customs and culture of the place you are planning on moving to. ____16____.

She was very good at studies right from the beginning. She used to always get good marks in all the subjects. This year she had given her 12th exams. She spent her vacation at her uncle’s farm. After a year of hard study she truly needed the break. She had fun exploring the countryside and wading (趟水) in the stream. She spent hours sitting under the mango tree and reading novels. Now as the day of her results drew near she started getting nervous. Her parents kept telling her not to get tensed and to relax but Shobha was very tensed. She knew she had done her papers well but you never know. Finally the day of the result came and Shobha went to the temple to pray as her mother had told her to. Then she went to her college and went straight to the notice board where the results had been put up. She first scanned (细看) the Distinetion list as she was confident that she would get at least more than 75% marks. But she was disappointed to find her name missing in that list. So she started looking in the First Class list but there too she could not find her name. She went through all the lists but her name was not on it. Shobha could not accept the fact that she had failed. She was confident of her marks. Even though she was nervous and tensed, she had always believed that it would never get anything lower than 80%. But she did not find her name on any list. But how could this happen? Shobha always got good grades. She convinced herself that she must have missed her name. But how could this happen? Shobha always got good grades. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150 个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 She was really disappointed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Her father went back to the notice board. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She was really disappointed. She would not eat, sleep or even talk to her family and friends. They were really surprised with this behavior for they had never seen her like this before. They did whatever they could to cheer her up, but unfortunately, nothing worked. Meanwhile, her father would refuse to believe this. How could his daughter, Shobha, a girl who was so good at studies get a result like this? Her father went back to the notice board. He looked for it carefully this time. Her name was on the Distinction list after all! It was misspelt as Soba, which made him laugh a lot. He rushed home and told Shobha the fact. She laughed as well and was relieved. She was glad that she had passed the test with 75% marks and above. They informed the school about it the next morning. She could relax and enjoyed the vacation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物Shobha的经历为线索展开，讲述了Shobha一直以来学习成绩优异，12年级考试结束后在叔叔农场度假放松，成绩公布日到来时她满怀信心却未在优秀榜单和一等榜单中找到自己名字，无法接受可能失败的事实。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她真的很失望。”可知，第一段可描写Shobha因未看到自己名字而极度失望，不吃不喝不与人交流，家人尽力安慰却无果，同时父亲难以相信女儿会得这样的成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“她父亲回到公告板那里。”可知，第二段可描写父亲回到公告板仔细查找，发现女儿名字因拼写错误被遗漏，回家告知女儿后她如释重负，随后家人告知学校这一情况。 2.续写线索：极度失望——家人安慰无果——父亲怀疑结果——父亲重回公告板——发现名字拼写错误——告知女儿——女儿如释重负——告知学校 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①使某人振作起来：cheer sb up/lift one’s spirits ②查找：look for/search for ③告知：inform/tell 情绪类 ①吃惊的：surprised/astonished ②如释重负：be relieved/feel a sense of relief 【点睛】【高分句型1】They did whatever they could to cheer her up, but unfortunately, nothing worked.（运用了whatever引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】It was misspelt as Soba, which made him laugh a lot.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
