Let’s see how China has changed through the years. 1978—1988: New Look In a 1978 Japanese documentary（记录片）China’s New Look, there was a scene showing Chinese people’ life back then.

In 1981, only one out of every 170 city families in China had a color TV. 1988—1998: ________ In October 1990, the first McDonald’s on the Chinese mainland opened for business in Shenzhen. It quickly became the hottest tourist spot（旅游景点）. Many Chinese customers waited in line and shouted to the shop assistant, “I want 10 Big Macs,” recalled a waiter at McDonald’s at that time. 1998—2008: Here Comes WTO For many Chinese, the year 2001 was very unforgettable. It marked the start of a new millennium（一千年）and led to a whole new era（时代）as China joined the World Trade Organization（WTO）. From 2001 to 2017, China’s average（平均）growth of the import（进口）of goods and services was more than twice the world’s average. 2008—2018：New Beginning Shanghai, a city of long-time business culture, is always a step ahead in China’s foreign trade. With the successful hosting of China’s first import expo（展览会）in November 2018, the city went on to develop China’s import business. The expo will be remembered as a new beginning for China’s import history. 14．Which picture shows the scene of China’s New Look?

The farmer wanted me to do twelve shows a day. I began to feel ill. One day, the queen heard about me and wanted to see me. The farmer took me to the palace and the queen liked me so much that she invited me to live with her. She paid the farmer a thousand pieces of gold to keep me! I was happy to have a life different from the past but something made me sad. “Why do you look so sad, Gulliver?” asked the queen. “I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,” I replied. “She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.” After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen. They were curious about my life in England and Europe. The king asked me about the laws of my country and its government and religions. I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty. The king laughed loudly and said, “How important you little people think you are,” he said. “You tell me you have many books about how to govern your country. Are you all so stupid? Don’t you know that to govern any country all you need is common sense (常识)?! Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.” He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying, “Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?” I felt very offended at first. But later, when I was alone, I thought about it and I understood he was probably right. Also my small size seemed to put me and my country into a completely different perspective (视角). We seemed very unimportant and I thought of the Lilliputians: I sometimes found them to be a little funny. I later told the king, “You must not be influenced by my size, sir.” I said. “In my country there are many tall people who are quite stupid and many short people who are very smart. This is true of everything. A long book may be boring and a short book may be a masterpiece.” I am happy to see the king agreed with me on this. “Size and looks do not matter.” I concluded. 18．What does the underlined word “offended” most probably mean in the article? A．Excited. B．Unhappy. C．Afraid. D．Relaxed. 19．What did the king think of the governing system in Gulliver’s country? A．It was better than that on Brobdingnag. B．It worked perfectly and didn’t have any problems. C．It was based on common sense like that on Brobdingnag. D．It didn’t work well because of people’s dishonesty and greed. 20．What is the correct order of the following events? ①Gulliver said goodbye to the farmer and started a new life. ②Gulliver felt ill because of doing twelve shows every day. ③Gulliver knew there were fights and wars in his own country. ④Gulliver ate with the king and queen every Wednesday. ⑤ The king looked down upon the system in Gulliver’ country.

B．Gulliver thought tall people in his country were all stupid. C．Glumdalclitch was Gulliver’s only friend on Brobdingnag. D．The king didn’t agree that size and looks do not matter at all. D The mirror test is a way to test if an animal can recognize (识别) itself. A mark is put on an animal, then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror (镜子). If the animal seems to notice the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself (and knows that the mark shouldn’t be there). The mirror test is often seen as a sign of how smart an animal is. But some scientists believe ________________. Roosters are a good example. Scientists recently ran the mirror test on roosters by putting a mark on the their wings. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. So the scientists needed a different way to test if the roosters could recognize themselves. When there’s danger—like an eagle flying above—roosters make loud noise to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the noise if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they keep quiet so the eagle won’t see them. The scientists realized that they could use the shadow of an eagle to test if the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror. First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a space with a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making an eagle shadow appear above the bird. When there was no mirror, the roosters acted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but kept quiet when they were alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it kept silent when it saw the eagle shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror. The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, not other roosters. Maybe some animals are cleverer than people thought. 22．What can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2? A．the mirror test doesn’t work well for all animals B．only some big animals can pass the mirror test C．the mirror test is the best way to test animals D．it is hard work to run tests on all the animals 23．According to Paragraph 3, a rooster will ________ when it is alone seeing an eagle. A．hide behind the mirror B．make loud noise C．go for other roosters D．keep quiet 24．Why does the writer use quotation marks for “another” in Paragraph 4? A．To tell us how clever a rooster can be. B．To tell us that roosters like to live alone. C．To show it’s the rooster itself in the mirror. D．To show roosters act differently with others around. 25．We can learn about the roosters that ________. A．they are in fact not as clever as we thought B．they make loud noise to keep others from danger C．they usually hide behind the mirror when eagles come D．they can’t recognize themselves with marks on their bodies 三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 “Beep, Beep,” goes the car horn (喇叭).

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.” It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 51．How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? ____________________________________________________________________________________________52．Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? ____________________________________________________________________________________________53．How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? ____________________________________________________________________________________________54．What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? ____________________________________________________________________________________________55．What do you think of riding e-scooters?(请自拟作答) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达 (共20分) 56．随着中国免签政策的实施，许多外国友人来到你的家乡旅游，他们震惊于中国科技飞速发展对生活带来的巨大变化。请根据下图用英语向他们介绍科技如何改变我们的生活和学习。 注意： 1. 词数100左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 内容须包括上图中的要点，省略号部分自拟，并适当发挥； 3. 不得出现真实校名和姓名。 提示：发展 development; 方便的 convenient How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测（无锡卷专用） Unit 1·培优卷（参考答案） 一、完形填空 1．C 2．B 3．A 4．B 5．C 6．D 7．B 8．A 9．D 10．C 二、阅读理解 11．D 12．A 13．A 14．A 15．A 16．B 17．C 18．B 19．D 20．C 21．C 22．A 23．D 24．C 25．B 三、信息还原 26．D 27．A 28．F 29．B 30．E 四、词汇运用 31．(c)onvenient 32．recently 33．led 34．since 35．wealth 36．reporter 37．certainly 38．stepped 39．hopeful 40．tourism 五、动词填空 41．reads 42．froze 43．will lose 44．is putting 45．was translating 46．have grown 47．to choose 48．paying 49．repaired 50．arrive 六、阅读表达 51．Seven. 52．Because it’s a cheap and easy way of transport. 53．They will fine them up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence./By fining them up to £300 and taking away six points on their driving licence. 54．Safety. 55．It’s convenient./It’s interesting./It’s dangerous. 七、书面表达 How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.  In terms of lifestyle, transports have transformed a lot. We used to ride bicycles or take buses, but now electric cars and self-driving cars are more common. They make our trips faster and more convenient.   When it comes to study, reading habits are different. Instead of only reading paper books, we can easily read e-books. We can get answers and learn new knowledge more quickly because tools like DeepSeek help us study better.  In the past, we felt that getting information and communicating were not as easy. Now, technology makes us feel more connected. We can share our lives and ideas instantly.    Technology really brings us a better life.

D The mirror test is a way to test if an animal can recognize (识别) itself. A mark is put on an animal, then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror (镜子). If the animal seems to notice the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself (and knows that the mark shouldn’t be there). The mirror test is often seen as a sign of how smart an animal is. But some scientists believe ________________. Roosters are a good example. Scientists recently ran the mirror test on roosters by putting a mark on the their wings. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. So the scientists needed a different way to test if the roosters could recognize themselves. When there’s danger—like an eagle flying above—roosters make loud noise to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the noise if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they keep quiet so the eagle won’t see them. The scientists realized that they could use the shadow of an eagle to test if the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror. First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a space with a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making an eagle shadow appear above the bird. When there was no mirror, the roosters acted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but kept quiet when they were alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it kept silent when it saw the eagle shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror. The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, not other roosters. Maybe some animals are cleverer than people thought. 22．What can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2? A．the mirror test doesn’t work well for all animals B．only some big animals can pass the mirror test C．the mirror test is the best way to test animals D．it is hard work to run tests on all the animals 23．According to Paragraph 3, a rooster will ________ when it is alone seeing an eagle. A．hide behind the mirror B．make loud noise C．go for other roosters D．keep quiet 24．Why does the writer use quotation marks for “another” in Paragraph 4? A．To tell us how clever a rooster can be. B．To tell us that roosters like to live alone. C．To show it’s the rooster itself in the mirror. D．To show roosters act differently with others around. 25．We can learn about the roosters that ________. A．they are in fact not as clever as we thought B．they make loud noise to keep others from danger C．they usually hide behind the mirror when eagles come D．they can’t recognize themselves with marks on their bodies 三、信息还原 (本大题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的七个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 “Beep, Beep,” goes the car horn (喇叭).

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.” It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 51．How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? ____________________________________________________________________________________________52．Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? ____________________________________________________________________________________________53．How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? ____________________________________________________________________________________________54．What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? ____________________________________________________________________________________________55．What do you think of riding e-scooters?(请自拟作答) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达 (共20分) 56．随着中国免签政策的实施，许多外国友人来到你的家乡旅游，他们震惊于中国科技飞速发展对生活带来的巨大变化。请根据下图用英语向他们介绍科技如何改变我们的生活和学习。 注意： 1. 词数100左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 内容须包括上图中的要点，省略号部分自拟，并适当发挥； 3. 不得出现真实校名和姓名。 提示：发展 development; 方便的 convenient How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测（无锡卷专用） Unit 1·培优卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一、完形填空 (本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分) Kevin and his friend Mike loved to play soccer and they often met at the old bench after school, They couldn’t 1 a real soccer ball, but Mike had made a ball out of old socks and plastic tape.

From 2001 to 2017, China’s average（平均）growth of the import（进口）of goods and services was more than twice the world’s average. 2008—2018：New Beginning Shanghai, a city of long-time business culture, is always a step ahead in China’s foreign trade.

The farmer wanted me to do twelve shows a day. I began to feel ill. One day, the queen heard about me and wanted to see me. The farmer took me to the palace and the queen liked me so much that she invited me to live with her. She paid the farmer a thousand pieces of gold to keep me! I was happy to have a life different from the past but something made me sad. “Why do you look so sad, Gulliver?” asked the queen. “I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,” I replied. “She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.” After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen. They were curious about my life in England and Europe. The king asked me about the laws of my country and its government and religions. I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty. The king laughed loudly and said, “How important you little people think you are,” he said. “You tell me you have many books about how to govern your country. Are you all so stupid? Don’t you know that to govern any country all you need is common sense (常识)?! Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.” He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying, “Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?” I felt very offended at first. But later, when I was alone, I thought about it and I understood he was probably right. Also my small size seemed to put me and my country into a completely different perspective (视角). We seemed very unimportant and I thought of the Lilliputians: I sometimes found them to be a little funny. I later told the king, “You must not be influenced by my size, sir.” I said. “In my country there are many tall people who are quite stupid and many short people who are very smart. This is true of everything. A long book may be boring and a short book may be a masterpiece.” I am happy to see the king agreed with me on this. “Size and looks do not matter.” I concluded. 18．What does the underlined word “offended” most probably mean in the article? A．Excited. B．Unhappy. C．Afraid. D．Relaxed. 19．What did the king think of the governing system in Gulliver’s country? A．It was better than that on Brobdingnag. B．It worked perfectly and didn’t have any problems. C．It was based on common sense like that on Brobdingnag. D．It didn’t work well because of people’s dishonesty and greed. 20．What is the correct order of the following events? ①Gulliver said goodbye to the farmer and started a new life. ②Gulliver felt ill because of doing twelve shows every day. ③Gulliver knew there were fights and wars in his own country. ④Gulliver ate with the king and queen every Wednesday. ⑤ The king looked down upon the system in Gulliver’ country. A．③-②-①-④-⑤ B．②-③-④-①-⑤ C．②-①-③-⑤-④ D．④-③-②-⑤-① 21．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Gulliver always thought the king’s words were wrong. B．Gulliver thought tall people in his country were all stupid. C．Glumdalclitch was Gulliver’s only friend on Brobdingnag. D．The king didn’t agree that size and looks do not matter at all. 【答案】18．B 19．D 20．C 21．C 【导语】本文是小说《格列佛游记》的片段。 18．词义猜测题。根据“He continued to laugh and concluded (总结) by saying: ‘Common sense, my dear Gulliver, common sense! Don’t the people who govern your country have any of this?’”可知，国王嘲笑格列佛的国家及其治理方式，因此他感到不高兴。故选B。 19．推理判断题。根据“Your people are dishonest and there are wars, revolutions and rebellions. This means that your system does not work as well as you think.”可知，国王认为在格列佛的国家，人们的不诚实和贪婪，它没有很好地运作。故选D。 20．推理判断题。根据“After some time, I felt very tired. The farmer wanted me to do twelve shows a day. I began to feel ill.”可知，格列佛因为每天演出十二场而感到不舒服；根据“‘I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,’ I replied.”可知，格列佛告别了农夫，开始了新的生活。根据“I explained that though our system worked well, there were still fights and wars because of greed (贪婪) and dishonesty.”可知，格列佛知道在他自己的国家里有战斗和战争。根据“The king laughed loudly and said, ‘How important you little people think you are,’ he said.”可知，国王看不起格列佛的国家制度。根据“After hearing my words the queen said Glumdalclitch could stay with me. I felt safe and happy. The queen treated me well and every Wednesday I ate with the king and queen.”可知，格列佛每周三与国王和王后一起吃饭。因此正确的顺序为：②-①-③-⑤-④。故选C。 21．细节理解题。根据“‘I have to say goodbye to Glumdalclitch,’ I replied. ‘She is the only person who has cared for me in the past months, and my only friend on Brobdingnag.’”可知，葛兰达克利赤是格列佛在大人国唯一的朋友。故选C。 D The mirror test is a way to test if an animal can recognize (识别) itself. A mark is put on an animal, then the animal is allowed to look in a mirror (镜子). If the animal seems to notice the mark, scientists believe the animal has recognized itself (and knows that the mark shouldn’t be there). The mirror test is often seen as a sign of how smart an animal is. But some scientists believe ________________. Roosters are a good example. Scientists recently ran the mirror test on roosters by putting a mark on the their wings. But when the roosters looked in a mirror, they didn’t seem to notice the mark. So the scientists needed a different way to test if the roosters could recognize themselves. When there’s danger—like an eagle flying above—roosters make loud noise to warn nearby chickens. But roosters only make the noise if other chickens can hear them. If they’re alone, they keep quiet so the eagle won’t see them. The scientists realized that they could use the shadow of an eagle to test if the roosters thought they were alone—even when they could see “another” chicken in a mirror. First, the scientists let the roosters spend time getting used to being in a space with a mirror around. Then, they ran several tests by making an eagle shadow appear above the bird. When there was no mirror, the roosters acted as usual. They called out when they were near another rooster, but kept quiet when they were alone. But when a rooster was in a space where it could see itself in the mirror, it kept silent when it saw the eagle shadow. It did this even if there was a rooster hidden behind the mirror. The scientists say the results show that the roosters knew they were seeing themselves in the mirror, not other roosters. Maybe some animals are cleverer than people thought. 22．What can be put in the blank in Paragraph 2? A．the mirror test doesn’t work well for all animals B．only some big animals can pass the mirror test C．the mirror test is the best way to test animals D．it is hard work to run tests on all the animals 23．According to Paragraph 3, a rooster will ________ when it is alone seeing an eagle. A．hide behind the mirror B．make loud noise C．go for other roosters D．keep quiet 24．Why does the writer use quotation marks for “another” in Paragraph 4? A．To tell us how clever a rooster can be.

Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters). This traditional children’s vehicle (交通工具) has become more advanced over the years. And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world. But following a lot of traffic accidents caused by electric scooters in the UK, questions are being asked about their safety and whether traffic laws should be changed. Some scooter riders have been seen on pavements (人行道) and others on the road jumping red traffic lights, making the car drivers annoyed (恼火). In the UK, the law states that anyone mustn’t ride a scooter on the public highway or pavement. The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so. But, despite (尽管) this, it seems that there’re still many young people on e-scooters everywhere. And now users are calling on rules to be changed. The UK government is looking at how safely they can be used on the road and is reviewing the law. But its transport minister, Michael Ellis, has told the BBC that, “e-scooters are appearing in countries around the world and are an exciting innovation (创新) for which we know there is need. However, safety must always be in our mind when thinking about their use on public highways in this country.” It’s true there are dangers in riding a two-wheeled scooter. Despite the fact that only a few e-scooters can be faster than 30mph, they sometimes only have one brake ( 刹车) and no lights. They also become dangerous if the riders hit something, and however confident the riders may be, larger vehicles on the road make them easy to be hurt. So it seems more work needs to be done to give e-scooters a safe space to travel in. 51．How many ways of transport does the writer mention (提及) in Paragraph 1? ____________________________________________________________________________________________52．Why do more and more people like riding e-scooters? ____________________________________________________________________________________________53．How will the police in the UK punish (处罚) the people riding e-scooters on the public highways or pavements? ____________________________________________________________________________________________54．What does Michael Ellis think we must always keep in our mind? ____________________________________________________________________________________________55．What do you think of riding e-scooters?(请自拟作答) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】51．Seven. 52．Because it’s a cheap and easy way of transport. 53．They will fine them up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence./By fining them up to £300 and taking away six points on their driving licence. 54．Safety. 55．It’s convenient./It’s interesting./It’s dangerous. 【导语】本文讨论了电动滑板车作为新兴交通方式在伦敦等城市的普及、它们引发的安全问题、对交通规则的挑战，以及政府对这些问题的态度和正在进行的法律审查，强调了在为电动滑板车创造安全旅行空间方面需要做更多的工作。 51．根据“Whether it’s on the way to work, a journey to the shops, or a sightseeing trip, there’re people on buses, the Tube, cars, motorbikes, bicycles and even roller skates. The traffic is already heavy and now there’s a new way of transport—electric scooters (e-scooters).”可知，本段提及了公交车、地铁、汽车、摩托车、自行车、轮滑以及电动滑板车，一共7种交通方式。故填Seven/7. 52．根据“And now, scooting has become a cheap and easy way of transport, so it’s no wonder they’re becoming more and more popular in cities around the world.”可知，滑板车越来越受欢迎是因为它已经成为一种便宜又方便的交通方式。故填Because it’s a cheap and easy way of transport. 53．根据“The police will fine (罚款) the riders up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence (执照) for doing so.”可知，警方将对这些驾驶员处以最高300英镑的罚款，并在驾驶执照上扣6分。故填They will fine them up to £300 and take away six points on their driving licence./By fining them up to £300 and taking away six points on their driving licence. 54．根据“safety must always be in our mind”可知，Michael Ellis认为我们必须时刻把安全放在心中。故填Safety. 55．开放性作答，言之有理即可。参考答案为It’s convenient./It’s interesting./It’s dangerous. 七、书面表达 (共20分) 56．随着中国免签政策的实施，许多外国友人来到你的家乡旅游，他们震惊于中国科技飞速发展对生活带来的巨大变化。请根据下图用英语向他们介绍科技如何改变我们的生活和学习。 注意： 1. 词数100左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 内容须包括上图中的要点，省略号部分自拟，并适当发挥； 3. 不得出现真实校名和姓名。 提示：发展 development; 方便的 convenient How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 How technology has changed our lives Over the past few years, technology has greatly changed our lives, especially in lifestyle and study.  In terms of lifestyle, transports have transformed a lot.
