Four-legged robot goalkeeper Mini Cheetah,a four-legged robot,was trained up by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley's Hybrid Robotics Lab. The robot can handle a range of thrown and kicked shots from humans.It can squat,jump, sidestep and dive to stop shots.It can save 87%of shots taken on goal,compared to the average for human keepers of around 69%. Google's ping-pong arm Google's ping-pong robot arm recently completed an epic 340-shot rally (with a human. The arm plays"cooperatively"to get a good rally going,but according to Google,its skills could be built up to match the level of a serious human competitor. Researchers wanted to train it up in a simulation so it could play with humans in the real world. China's badminton bot In China,researchers have created a robot called the Robomintoner that can play badminton against human competitors. The machine looks a bit like a lawnmower,but it firmly grips its badminton racket just like any human player would.It also gets sufficient power into the shuttlecock using a swift flicking motion, and zips around the court on four wheels. Expert skier Also in China,experts from the Shanghai JiaoTong University created a skiing robot that can control its own descent down a snowy slope.The machine stands with two legs on each ski and grips ski poles with its middle legs,which it can manoeuvre (to control direction. The robot can stay upright,turn and avoid crashing to people.It is also capable of skiing at more than 30 feet per second across a 1,300-foot course on an 18-degree slope. 21.Which of the following is true about "the four-legged robot goalkeeper"? A.It can jump and dive to avoid shots. B.It was trained up by experts from the Shanghai Jiao Tong University. C.Researchers wanted to train it up so that it could play with humans in the real world D.It can act as a goalkeeper and deal with shots from humans. 22.What do Google's ping-pong robot arm and Robomintoner have in common? A.They are both about robots on four wheels. B.They can play against human competitors. C.They are created by Chinese researchers. D.They look a bit like a lawnmower. 23.Which can be seen to display at a snowy slope? A.Four-legged robot goalkeeper.B.Google's ping-pong arm. C.Expert skier. D.China's badminton bot. b，B Li Jian,aged 61,is a senior lab scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences,and has dedicated himself to scientific sketching (in the area of animal and plant taxonomy(动植物分类学).Over the past40-plus years,he has sketched thousands of animal and plant drawings with a scientific attitude and superb skills,presenting to readers more than 730 species on the planet. Over decades of work,Li has developed a particularly keen eye that helps him identify even the tiniest features of animals and plants."It is impossible for an animal to arrange every part of its body in the way we want it to be so that we can take a clear picture of it,"Li said,explaining the necessity of scientific sketching in research work."Different from works of art,my drawings require a high level of scientific rigor,he said. In animal and plant taxonomy,species are often identified through tiny features.Take frogs,for example.Some have long fingers,while others have short ones.Some have fingers that are unwebbed,some partially webbed,and others fully webbed.The tip of their fingers can be pointed or round,and with or without long narrow cuts."When I sketch,I must sketch accurately.Sometimes, I need to study the structure of my subject under a microscope before getting down to draw,"he said. Usually,it took Li about ten days to draw a palm-sized animal.For complicated animals like snakes covered in scales,it would take him more than half a month.A big obstacle Li encountered in his work was the fading of the color in samples as a result of long-time immersion in chemicals.In this case,he would need to rely on known morphological(形态学的)characteristics of the samples and text descriptions to make his sketches more accurate. "With the assistance of Li's large number of high-quality drawings,China's illustrated scientific publications rank among the best in the world,"said Fei Liang,a famous Chinese zoologist. 24.What does Li Jian do as a lab scientist? A.Draw pictures of animals and plants. B.Present drawings to scientists. C.Make art of animals and plants. D.Do experiments on animals. 25.Which of the following best describes Li Jian's attitude to his job? A.Afraid and worried. B.Doubtful and cautious. C.Devoted and diligent. D.Dedicated and ambitious. 26.What makes Li's work difficult? A.Drawing snakes is dangerous. B.Samples'colors become lighter. C.Samples are badly kept. D.There are too little descriptions. 27.Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A.Sketching with A Scientific Touch. B.The Advantages of Sketching Accurately. C.Illustrating the Best Scientific Publications. D.The Art Value of Sketching Animals and Plants. C Based on bone and tooth records,mammoths()were thought to have gone extinct about 12,000 years ago.But a new genetic sampling technique suggests the great beasts may have stuck around a lot longer.The story is in the soil. Bones are rich sources of prehistoric genetic information,but not the only ones;items ranging from shed Ice Age skin cells to pine needles can contribute to the genetic record stored in dirt. Paleogeneticists(古遗传学家)have been analyzing“environmental DNA”from soil for a long time, but getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting(使人气馁的). "Environmental samples contain a huge range of other chemical substances that are hard to separate from the DNA,"says MeMaster University geneticist Tyler Murchie."We can't afford to lose whatever we can get." In the new approach,soil samples are got and then broken into smaller portions,stirred and run through a "cold spin method"to separate as much DNA as possible.The DNA is then compared against an existing genetic library to detect species matches. The method is limited because researchers using it need to know what DNA to look for.If a saber-toothed cat species is not already in the genetic library,the analysis cannot detect that animal. For known species,however,the process may yield exciting information.In their study,the researchers detected about 2,100 kinds of plants and 180 animals. Not yet published results from other field sites are yielding similar results,Murchie says,and future fossil discoveries could strengthen the case."We can use this approach to identify species in places and times we never knew they existed,"he adds. 28.Why does the author mention "mammoths"in Paragraph 1? A.To present a fact. C.To correct a mistake. B.To show us an extinct animal. D.To introduce the topic of the passage. 29.Which word can best describe the work of getting rid of non-DNA material? A.Challenging. B.Interesting. 30.What is the disadvantage of the new method? C.Boring. D.Satisfying. A.It is very slow. B.It can't detect unknown animals. C.It is not very accurate. D.It can only be carried out in the genetic library. 31.What is the text? A.A news report. C.A book review. B.A short story. D.A research report. D We are living in an age in which data is strongly favored,especially when it's reported in the media."Big Data"is considered even more reliable as it consists of very large amounts of information.Percentiles are considered hard evidence,even if the conclusions drawn from the data don't mean a whole lot.For example,"40 percent of adults say they use Instagram and about three in ten report using Pinterest or LinkedIn,"a Pew Research Center survey reported in April 2021.Is that a lot or a little?I don't know,but the numbers are seemingly presented as being significant in some way. Meanwhile,unless an argument is"data-based",it is considered flimsy.One might repeatedly see something with his/her own eyes,but ironically(讽刺地)，in this era of data,it matters little. Observations and any conclusions drawn,even by experts in a relevant field,have been downgraded to "personal perspectives",even though they are based on real,documented behavior. In short,if something is published in a journal with quantitative support,it carries much weight. If a cultural anthropologist (with a Ph.D.reports a particular trend from field research, however,it is considered a short amusing story that may complement the "real"data-based studies. People want to know the "sample size"of cultural research,not understanding that valuable insights into human behavior can be gained without metrics (and analytics. The many weaknesses associated with quantitative research should not be ignored,either.There are numerous ways to design a study and gather findings,each one likely to produce different results. The move to online research has made findings much more questionable,as nothing got from the Internet should be taken too seriously.Besides,how questions are both asked and answered is highly subjective and dependent on many variables. Why do we love data so much?Words are imprecise and have multiple meanings,while numbers are precise and definitive,a big reason why we put so much faith and trust in data regardless of its source.To legitimize(证明…有理)this post,note that88.6 percent of what I've said is true. 32.What does the author think of the 2021 survey reported by the Pew Research Center? A.It leads to some confusion. B.It has much scientific value. C.It impresses him with the numbers. D.It contains some factual inaccuracies. 33.What does the underlined word "flimsy"mean in Paragraph 2? A.Professional. B.Interesting. C.Unfriendly. D.Unpersuasive. 34.What is the last but one paragraph mainly about? A.The practicality of online research. B.The disadvantages of quantitative research. C.The widespread popularity of online research. D.The significance of quantitative research findings. 35.How does the author end the text?. A.By providing a solution. B.By referring to experts. C.By writing ironically. D.By making a prediction. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers?But now you're not a child anymore.In fact,there are many advantages of talking to strangers.

This percentage then jumps to 68%by 2030.And by 2035,all vehicles sold in California will be electric.California is seen as the leading American state when it comes to climate change.This makes sense,as it has the biggest population with more than 39 million people living in the West Coast state.It is also an area of natural beauty,from its golden beaches to its forests of giant trees,which may inspire the people of California to act faster than their neighbors. 参考答案 1 ~5 CBCAB 6~10 ACBAA 11~15 CACAB 16~20 CBCAB 2l.D细节理解题。由Four-legged robot goalkeeper中“The robot can handle a range of thrown and kicked shots from humans.It can squat,jump,sidestep and dive to stop shots.It can save 87.5%of shots taken on goal, compared to the average for human keepers of around69%.(该机器人可以处理一系列来自人类的投掷和踢 打。它可以下蹲、跳跃、侧步和俯冲来阻止投篮。它可以节省87%的射门次数，而人类守门员的平均射门 次数约为69%。)”可知，四条腿的机器人守门员可以充当守门员，处理来自人类的射门。故选D项。 22.B细节理解题。由Google's ping-pong arm中“Google''s ping-pong robot arm recently completed an epic340- shot rally(对打）with a human.(谷歌的乒乓机器人手臂最近与一名人类完成了一场史诗般的340杆拉力 赛。)”和“In China,researchers have created a robot called the Robomintoner that can play badminton against human competitors.(在中国，研究人员创造了一种名为Robomintoner的机器人，可以与人类选手打羽毛 球。)”可知，Google's ping-pong robot arm和Robomintoner可以与人类竞争对手比赛。故选B项。 23.C细节理解题。根据Expert skier里可知这款机器人可以滑雪。故选C项。 24.A 细节理解题。根据第一段“Over the past40-plus years,he has sketched thousands of animal and plant drawings with a scientific attitude and superb skills,presenting to readers more than 730 species on the planet. 过去的40多年里，他以科学的态度和高超的技巧画出了数千幅动植物素描，向读者展示了地球上的730 多种物种。)”可知，他的工作是给动植物绘图。故选A项。 25.C推理判断题。根据第一段“Li Jianl,aged61,is a senior lab scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences,and has dedicated himself to scientific sketching (in the area of animal and plant taxonomy.(李健，61岁，中国科学院成都生物研究所高级实验室科学家，一直致力于动植 物分类学领域的科学制图。)”第二段“Over decades of work,Li has developed a particularly keen eye that helps him identify even the tiniest features of animals and plants.(在几年的工作中，李培养了一双特别敏锐的眼 睛，可以帮助他识别动物和植物最微小的特征。)”以及第四段“Usually,it took Li about ten days to draw a palm-sized animal.For complicated animals like snakes covered in scales,it would take him more than half a moth.(通常，画一只手掌大小的动物需要10天左右的时间。像蛇这样复杂的动物，他要花半个多月的 时间。)”可知，他对待工作不仅专注(devoted)而且刻苦(diligent)。故选C项。 26.B细节理解题。根据第四段“A big obstacle Li encountered in his work was the fading of the color in samples as a result of long-time immersion in chemicals.(李在工作中遇到的一个大障碍是，由于长期浸泡在化学物质 中，样品的颜色会褪色。)”可知，他的工作中遇到的一个大障碍是由于长期浸泡在化学物质中，样品的颜 色褪色。故选B项。 27.A主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Li Jianl,aged6l,is a senior lab scientist at the Chengdu Institute of Biology under the Chinese Academy of Sciences,and has dedicated himself to scientific sketching (in the area of animal and plant taxonomy(动植物分类学).Over the past40-plus years,he has sketched thousands of animal and plant drawings with a scientific attitude and superb skills,presenting to readers more than 730 species on the planet..(李健，61岁，中国科学院成都生物研究所高级实验室科学家，一直致力于动植物分类学领 域的科学制图。在过去的40多年里，他以科学的态度和高超的技巧绘制了数千幅动植物图，向读者展示 了地球上730多个物种。)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述了中国科学院高级实验师李健和他的工作 一科 学绘图。故选A 28.D推理判断题。由文章第一段“But a new genetic sampling technique suggests the great beasts may have stuck around a lot longer..The story is in the soil..”(但一项新的基因取样技术表明，这种巨兽可能存在的时间更 长。故事在土壤里。)以及第二段的“Paleogeneticists(古遗传学家)have been analyzing“environmental DNA” from soil for a long time,but getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting( 人气馁的).（古遗传学家长期以来一直在从土壤中分析“环境DNA”,但在不破坏这些脆弱线索的情况下 去除非DNA物质是令人气馁的)”可知作者谈及猛犸象是为了引出文章的主题，科学家对DNA的研究。 【月考卷（一）·英语参考答案第2页（共4页）选择性必修第二册-J-G-唐】 故选D 29.A推理判断题。由文章二段“..getting rid of non-DNA material without destroying these fragile clues is daunting”(在不破坏这些脆弱线索的情况下去除非DNA物质是令人气馁的。)和第三段“Environmental samples contain a huge range of other chemical substances that are hard to separate from the DNA...”(环境样本 中含有大量其他化学物质，很难从DNA中分离出来)可知，从泥土中提取出有用的DNA信息是很困难， 是很有桃战性的一顶工作。故选A。 3O.B细节理解题。由文章第五段“The method is limited because researchers using it need to know what DNA to look for.If a saber-toothed cat species is not already in the genetic library,the analysis cannot detect that animal. (这种方法是有限的，因为使用它的研究人员需要知道要寻找什么DNA。例如，如果一种剑齿虎物种还没 有出现在基因库中，分析就无法检测到这种动物。)可知，这个新方法的局限是：只能检测到已知物种，不 能检测到未知物种。故选B。 31.D 推理判断题。根据第二段的“Bones are rich sources of prehistoric genetic information,but not the only ones; items ranging from shed Ice Age skin cells to pine needles can contribute to the genetic record stored in dirt. 是史前遗传信息的丰富来源，但不是唯一的来源；从脱落的冰河时代的皮肤细胞到松针，这些物品都可以 促成储存在泥土中的基因记录)”以及下文的介绍可知，本文介绍了科学家们通过研究泥土中动植物的 DNA信息从而获得对他们更多的了解。据此可知本文是一篇研究报告。故选D。 32.A推理判断题。在第一段中“‘Big Data'is considered even more reliable as it consists of very large amounts of information.Percentiles are considered hard evidence,even if the conclusions drawn from the data don't mean a whole lot.For example,40 percent of adults say they use Instagram and about three in ten report using Pinterest or LinkedIn,a Pew Research Center survey reported in April 2021.Is that a lot or a little?I don't know,but the numbers are seemingly presented as being significant in some way.(‘大数据'被认为更可靠，因为它包含了大 量的信息。百分位数值被认为是确凿的证据，即使从数据中得出的结论并不意味着很多。例如，皮尤研究 中心在2021年4月的一项调查显示，‘40%的成年人说他们使用Instagram,大约十分之三的人说他们使用 Pinterest或LinkedIn。'这是多还是少？我不知道，但这些数字似乎在某种程度上很重要。)”作者以皮尤研 究中心在2021年4月的一项调查结果为例，说明尽管百分位数值被认为是确凿的证据，但是从数据中得 出的结论并没有多大意义，对于这项调查结果中所给出的数据在某种程度上似乎很重要，但是作者不清楚 这些数字是多还是少：由此可知，作者认为皮尤研究中心2021发布的调查结果会造成一些困惑，人们不清 楚里面的数字意味着什么。故选A。 33.D词义猜测题。根据第一段第一句“We are living in an age in which data is strongly favored,especially when it's reported in the media.(我们生活在一个数据非常受欢迎的时代，尤其是在媒体报道数据的时候。)”可知 在这个数据时代，数据特别受欢迎；由第二段中划线词的下文“One might repeatedly see something with his,/ her own eyes,but ironically ()in this era of data,it matters little.Observations and any conclusions drawn,even by experts in a relevant field,have been downgraded to 'personal perspectives',even though they are based on real,documented behavior.(一个人可能会反复地亲眼看到一些东西，但讽刺的是，在这个数据时 代，这已经无关紧要了。观察和得出的任何结论，即使是由相关领域的专家得出的，也被降级为’个人观 点'，即使它们是基于真实的、有记录的行为。)”可知，在这个数据时代，人们亲眼反复看到的东西都不重 要，即使是由相关领域的专家基于真实的、有记录的行为观察和得出的任何结论，也会被认为是“个人观 点”，作者认为这非常具有讽刺性；由此可推知，划线词所在句“Meanwhile,unless an argument is“data based”,it is considered flimsy..（与此同时，除非一个论点是“基于数据的”，否则它被认为是flimsy。)表述 的意思是在这个大数据时代，如果一个论点不是以数据为基础，就会被认为不可信，没有说服力；划线词 flimsy指“没有说服力的，不可信的”，与unpersuasive'“没有说服力的”意思一致。故选D。 34.B主旨大意题。文章倒数第二段“The many weaknesses associated with quantitative research should not be ignored,either.There are numerous ways to design a study and gather findings,each one likely to produce different results.The move to online research has made findings much more questionable,as nothing got from the Internet should be taken too seriously.Besides,how questions are both asked and answered is highly subjective and dependent on many variables..(与定量研究相关的许多弱点也不应被忽视。设计研究和收集发现的方法有 很多，每一种方法都可能产生不同的结果。转向网络研究使得研究结果更加可疑，因为从互联网上得到的 任何东西都不应该太当真。此外，如何提问和回答问题是高度主观的，取决于许多变量。)”指出定量研究 有许多不应忽视的缺点，多种研究方法会产生不同的结果、基于网络的研究结果也不可靠、提问和回答问 题是高度主观的，取决于许多变量；由此可知，倒数第二段主要阐述了定量研究的缺点。故选B。 35.C推理判断题。在最后一段“Why do we love data so much?Words are imprecise and have multiple meanings, while numbers are precise and definitive,a big reason why we put so much faith and trust in data regardless of its source.To legitimize(证明…有理)this post,note that88.6 percent of what I've said is true.(为什么我们如 此热爱数据？文字是不精确的，有多种含义，而数字是精确的，明确的，这是我们如此信任数据的一个重 要原因，而不管它的来源是什么。为了证明这篇文章有理，请注意我所说的88.6%是真的。)”中作者首先 阐述了我们如此热爱信任数据是因为数字是精确的、明确的；文章是一篇驳论文，批驳了当前的唯数据论， 作者在结尾时却运用数据（强调文章中所说的88.6%是真的）来为了证明所写的这篇文章有理；作为说理 类文章，如何能给出一个确切的关于真实性的数字，因此作者在结尾运用了反风的写作手法。故选C。 36~40 FAGBD

One urged him to throw the snowball;otherwise he would be called a coward and laughed at.The other was trying to prevent him and tell him such behavior was truly ridiculous and totally wrong.While the other two boys stared at him inquiringly and encouragingly,George squared his shoulders and exclaimed firmly,"I quit!" The two looked at George,astonished.This was out of their expectation."There!I told you he dare not throw it!"James said to Henry.George could hear the obvious disappointment in his voice.Gathering all his courage, George said,"I will never be so foolish to throw that snowball and no one can have me do what I think is wrong!"This would be the real courage.Henry and James realized,at once,that it would do no good to laugh at a boy who had so bold a heart and so fearless a spirit. 【月考卷（一）·英语参考答案第4页（共4页）选择性必修第二册-RU-G-唐】
