A. that B. where C. which D. when Section B 语法填空 Apart from the spelling of the word, there are, obviously, many differences between American and British humour. There is a common belief in the U.K. that Americans don’t understand irony(讽刺). This is of course not true. But what is true is that Americans don’t use it all the time. Irony may show up in American comedies, but people there don’t use it as much as Brits in daily life and it is generally seen as inappropriate in situations ___21___it is normal in the U.K. On the contrary, irony is a common feature of British culture. It virtually ___22___(run) in the blood of Brits. They use it as liberally as prepositions in everyday conversations, as a way of mocking their enemies, ___23___ (play) with their friends and laughing at themselves. This may sometimes be considered as offensive ___24___ the recipients are not used to it. But, it, in fact, is almost a sign of affection if a Brit likes you. Things are different in America. When Americans use irony they will clearly state that they are “only kidding” after that. They feel the need ___25___ (make) a joke more obvious ___26___it will not offend other people. Humor is tied so much ___27___ culture. American jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle but with a dark or sarcastic undertone (讽刺的意味). There is usually a ___28___ (hide) meaning. This may stem from the fact ___29___ British culture is more reserved than American culture. However, we should not neglect the fact that certain American comedies ___30___(gain) huge success in Britain and vice versa. Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other’s sense of humour. Section C Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A define B. depends C. intentions D. nutritional E. perspectives F. public G. refer H. reveal I. standards J. touches K. unique A recent article put a spotlight on how social media can fuel body dysmorphia (身体畸形恐惧症) in boys. As we regularly do when The Times writes about an issue that ____31____ on the lives of young people, we have asked teenagers to share their ____32____ on the use of social media and the effects it may be having on body image issues. Many of the teenagers agree that social media has been harmful to their body image and self-esteem (自尊). Influencers share their “what I eat in a day” videos, and while their ____33____ may not be malicious (恶意的), comparison truly becomes the thief of joy. You start wondering how much you should be eating. While I admit that I have benefited from some ____34____ information that has been taught by professionals on social media, the popularity of unrealistic beauty ____35____ has been damaging to me. — Ave, Los Angeles Males face ____36____ pressures and hurdles to talking about their struggles. People seem to notice the struggles females face when it comes to body image issues, but it is all too common for them to overlook the struggles that males face. As a result, males are often discouraged from sharing their struggles and are often ignored when they do make such struggles ____37____. — Devynne, Comets Some said that following body-positive content can be encouraging. I find that I encounter more body-positive content than that which is negative. The reason for this, though, ____38____ on who you follow. When I see body-positive content on social media, I find that it just makes me feel confident about the body I have. Positive content can show you that your body does not ____39____ you, and that you should not worry about having the smallest waist or biggest muscles. — Alexis, Hanover Horton High School Teen warning — just remember, social media doesn’t show you the full picture of someone’s life. In my case, social media has definitely affected the way I feel about myself and my body. Users on these platforms usually post things when they look their best, often neglecting to ____40____ their usual day-to-day appearance to us. Social media has caused me to feel as if I have to look a certain way at all times of the day, even if it is clear to me that 15-second TikTok clips of attractive users show just that: only 15 seconds of their day. — Nikita, New York Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension Section A Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. The term “staycation” means vacations that you take at home or near your home rather than traveling to another place. It is is closely connected with less pollution, saving money and not contributing to the overwhelming disorder that takes place in some of the world's most touristic areas. The concept of staycation was born at the time of the 2008 market ___41___ in the United States. Because of it, many households were forced to ___42___ their expenses and consequently limit their vacation budget. The shortage of money to travel abroad is at the origin of why many people started to (re) discover their most ___43___ surroundings At the same time, awareness of the ___44___ impacts of tourism, especially on what concerns the impacts of transportation, started to increase too. And so did the perception that some of the main cities (abroad) are increasingly overloaded with people-- with places such as Barcelona, Venice, or the Seychelles planning on ___45___ a tourist cap. Staycation appears like a great solution for the ___46___ above mentioned. It is a great way of spending joyful vacations while helping one's ___47___ and the environment. ___48___, staying close to home eliminates the budget for accommodation and transport. Apart from the financial ___49___ gained by leaving behind expensive plane tickets or by not booking hotel rooms that aren't cheap, staycation also has the benefit of keeping harmful ___50___ in the ground. Cars, boats, and planes are not (or are less) used; ___51___, other means of transport such as public transport, bicycles, electric scooters or just walking are favored. This allows people's carbon footprints not to ___52___ as much as they would if long distances had been traveled. A staycation is a form of alternative tourism that is fully in line with the slow tourism trend. Slow tourism invites you to live in the ___53___ moment. It encourages you to take your time, discover nearby landscapes, reconnect and spend more time outdoors in nature with the people you enjoy, There are no fully-booked days, and there is no ___54___ to go from one activity to another just to stay busy all the time.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard. “I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned. Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading. “Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.” 56. George and Richard were ______ at school. A. roommates B. good friends C. competitors D. booksellers 57. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? A. He envied Richard’s marriage. B. He thought of Richard from time to time. C. He felt lucky with no rival in town. D. He was guilty of Richard’s death. 58. George got information about Richard from ______. A. a dictionary collector in Australia B the latter’s rivals Dylans C. a rare first edition of a dictionary D. the wrapping paper of a book 59. What happened to George and Richard in the end? A. Both George and Richard became millionaires. B. Both of them realized their original ambitions. C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing. D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success. (B篇无原文及答案) (C) Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). 60. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________. A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency 61. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________. A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central London C. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September 62. The main purpose of the passage is __________. A. to tell visitors how to book in advance B. to supply visitors with hotel information C. to show visitors the importance of self-help D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips (D) Naquela Wright’s life took an unexpected turn when she lost her eyesight as a teenager, but even when her world became dark, the New Jersey resident didn’t want to quit social media. Using Facebook was a challenge at first. Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri, a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision, Wright learned how to use a screen reader to read the site through the touch of the keyboard and sound of a robotic voice. Still, when a friend sends her a photo, Wright often has no clue what the image shows. Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what’s in an image. “I can have a basic picture in my mind of what’s going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own,” said Wright, who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested. “Of course, it’s different, but it’s something more than I had.” An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally, according to the World Health Organization, and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring out what’s in a photo because the description isn’t clear or doesn’t exist. Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings, adding alternative text for images, launching keyboard shortcuts, and more. Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts. With 1.5 billion users, Facebook isn’t the only social media company that wants to improve its website for the visually disabled. Along with Facebook and other major tech firms, Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called “Teaching Accessibility”. Jeff Wieland, Facebook’s head of accessibility engineering, said the group wants to educate more engineers, especially early in college, about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others. “We really don’t want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies,” Wieland said. “We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in mind.” 63. What tool helps the visually disabled to read Facebook? A. A screen reader. B. A special keyboard. C. A helpful robot. D. HTML headings. 64. What can be inferred from the passage about the new tool created by Facebook? A. It adds a lot of shortcuts on the keyboard. B. It helps users to employ their senses other than sight. C. It meets no competitors with its advanced technology. D. It inspires more engineers to explore artificial intelligence. 65. The underlined phrase in the last paragraph “are compatible with” most probably means ________. A. are unaffordable to B. bring harm to C. keep company of D. well suit 66. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A. Screen reader: tool to access social media B. Ongoing efforts: strength to improve websites C. Artificial intelligence: power to help the blind D. Teaching accessibility: initiative to educate engineers Section C Directions: Read the following text from which four sentences have removed. Choose from the sentences A-F the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text. There are two extra sentences than you do not need to use. The Benefits of Keeping a Journal If you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it. Here are some benefits you will get by keeping a journal. It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down? ____67____ But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer. It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. ____68____ You can use the ideas to push yourself forward. ____69____ After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today. It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. ____70____ In the end, you will expand your ideas. A. I often experienced that myself. B. It trains you to express your thoughts. C. It allows you to see your progress over time. D. Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with. E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea. F. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes. 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025学年第一学期高一英语期末试卷 Ⅰ.

Irony may show up in American comedies, but people there don’t use it as much as Brits in daily life and it is generally seen as inappropriate in situations ___21___it is normal in the U.K. On the contrary, irony is a common feature of British culture. It virtually ___22___(run) in the blood of Brits. They use it as liberally as prepositions in everyday conversations, as a way of mocking their enemies, ___23___ (play) with their friends and laughing at themselves. This may sometimes be considered as offensive ___24___ the recipients are not used to it. But, it, in fact, is almost a sign of affection if a Brit likes you. Things are different in America. When Americans use irony they will clearly state that they are “only kidding” after that. They feel the need ___25___ (make) a joke more obvious ___26___it will not offend other people. Humor is tied so much ___27___ culture. American jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle but with a dark or sarcastic undertone (讽刺的意味). There is usually a ___28___ (hide) meaning. This may stem from the fact ___29___ British culture is more reserved than American culture. However, we should not neglect the fact that certain American comedies ___30___(gain) huge success in Britain and vice versa. Therefore, although there are differences between both comic styles, there is still an appreciation and understanding of the other’s sense of humour. 【答案】21. where 22. runs 23. playing 24. if##when 25 to make 26. so that 27. to 28. hidden 29. that 30. have gained 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了美式幽默和英式幽默的不同之处。 【21题详解】 考查关系词。句意：讽刺可能出现在美国喜剧中，但美国人在日常生活中不像英国人那样经常使用它，而且在英国通常的情况下，它通常被认为是不合适的。分析句子成分可知，空处应为引导定语从句的关系词，且空后为完整句子，所以应为关系副词，指代先行词“situations”，为抽象地点名词，且在从句中充当地点状语。故填where。 【22题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：它几乎流淌在英国人的血液里。空处应为谓语动词。指幽默流淌在英国人的血液里这一事实，故应为一般现在时，且照应主语“It”，故应为单数。故填runs。 【23题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们在日常对话中随意使用它，就像介词一样，以此来嘲笑敌人，和朋友玩耍，嘲笑自己。分析句子成分可知，空处应为动名词形式与“mocking”，“laughing”共同作介词“of”的宾语。故填playing。 【24题详解】 考查连词。句意：如果/当收信人不习惯时，这有时会被认为是无礼的。分析句子成分可知，空处应为连词。可以是when引导的时间状语从句，表示“当收信人不习惯时”；也可以是if引导的条件状语从句，表示“被认为是无礼的”的前提条件。故填if/when。 【25题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：他们觉得有必要让笑话变得更明显，这样就不会冒犯到别人。分析句子成分可知，空处应为非谓语动词。且应为不定式作后置定语修饰名词“the need”。故填to make。 【26题详解】 考查连词。句意：他们觉得有必要让笑话变得更明显，这样就不会冒犯到别人。分析句子成分可知，前后为因果关系，所以空处应为引导目的状语从句的连词。故填so that。 【27题详解】 考查介词。句意：幽默与文化息息相关。固定搭配be tied to“与……有关”。故填to。 【28题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：通常都有隐藏的含义。分析句子成分可知，空处应为非谓语动词，且和被修饰词“meaning”之间为动宾关系，故应为过去分词作前置定语修饰。故填hidden。 【29题详解】 考查连词。句意：这可能源于英国文化比美国文化更保守的事实。分析句子成分可知，空处应为连词，且表示空前名词“the fact”的内容，故应为同位语从句，且空后从句为完成句子，连接词为that。故填that。 【30题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：然而，我们不应忽视这样一个事实，即某些美国喜剧在英国取得了巨大的成功，反之亦然。空处应为同位语从句的谓语动词。“美国喜剧在英国取得了巨大的成功”这一事实对现在造成的影响，故用现在完成时，且主语“comedies”为复数，故谓语动词也应为复数。故填have gained。 Section C Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard. “I’ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast. “And you’ll be sorry you knew me,” George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse. Then Richard married a mysterious girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the coast—but Richard never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have drowned. Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him? George was very interested in old dictionaries. He’d recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading. “Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.” 56. George and Richard were ______ at school. A. roommates B. good friends C. competitors D. booksellers 57. How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance? A. He envied Richard’s marriage. B. He thought of Richard from time to time. C. He felt lucky with no rival in town. D. He was guilty of Richard’s death. 58. George got information about Richard from ______. A. a dictionary collector in Australia B. the latter’s rivals Dylans C. a rare first edition of a dictionary D. the wrapping paper of a book 59. What happened to George and Richard in the end? A. Both George and Richard became millionaires. B. Both of them realized their original ambitions. C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing. D. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success. 【答案】56. C 57. B 58. D 59. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了Richard和George竞争的故事。他们上学时就扬言要分别成为百万富翁和最好的律师，结果Richard实现了自己的梦想，George却没有。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.”（甚至在学校里，乔治和理查之间就有一种不健康的竞争。）可知，两人是竞争对手。故选C。 【57题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的“But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his formal rival(竞争对手).”（ 但有时他坐在窄窄的旧厨房里，凝视着肮脏的窗户外，想着他的正式对手。）可知George有时会想起Richard，故选B。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!”（ 但在吃午饭的时候，乔治瞥了一眼报纸上那张包裹着书的照片。他很吃惊——那张微笑的脸比他记忆中的老，但毫无疑问!就是他。）可知，George是在包书的报纸上得到了Richard的消息。故选D。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段可知，Richard最后成功了，而George依然开着书店，没有成为百万富翁，也没有成为有名的律师。根据倒数第三段“Now with only one bookshop in town, business was better for George.”（ 现在镇上只有一家书店，乔治的生意比较好）可知，George没有成为百万富翁，排除A；根据“George would reply “because I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!”可知，George最初是想成为最好的律师，排除B；George开书店，Richard成了百万富翁，而不是失踪，排除C。故选D。 (B篇无原文及答案) (C) Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost £169.15 at Booking.com. A week later, the same room cost £118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid — or you’re looking for a big event to pass your time — check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.com, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Don’t be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, available for £420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults. GET ON A BIKE London’s ‘Boris bikes’ have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around £1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or £5 per day). 60. “Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably __________. A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden C an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency 61. The passage shows that the O’Neill Flat __________. A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central London C. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over £100 on average per day in late September 62. The main purpose of the passage is __________. A. to tell visitors how to book in advance B. to supply visitors with hotel information C. to show visitors the importance of self-help D. to offer visitors some money-saving tips 【答案】60. A 61. C 62. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要给那些计划去英国旅行的人提供了一些帮助他们减少开支的建议。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章“STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION”部分中的“Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodge’s Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was £95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was £75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just £62.95. (提前两个月预订，9月22日星期六在伦敦Travelodge的Central Euston酒店最便宜的房间是95.95英镑。在火车站旁边的Covent Garden酒店的房间仅需75.75英镑。而在Farringdon，一间双人间的价格仅为62.95英镑)可知，本段在讲酒店房间的价格，房间离火车站越近，价格越高。由此推知，Farringdon的价格最便宜，所以“Farringdon”最有可能是离火车站很远的酒店。故选A。 【61题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章“LOOK AFTER YOURSELF”部分中的“As an alternative consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic O’Neill Flat on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile (作为另一种选择，可以考虑入住自带厨房的自助公寓。这些公寓通常隐藏在市中心建筑的顶层。一个很好的例子是爱丁堡皇家英里酒店的历史悠久的O’Neill Flat)”可知，O’Neill Flat有自己的厨房，可以为游客提供烹饪工具。故选C。 【62题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，再结合文章第一段“Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. (计划访问英国吗？在这里，我们帮助您降低成本)”可知，文章的主要目的是为游客提供一些省钱的建议。故选D。 (D) Naquela Wright’s life took an unexpected turn when she lost her eyesight as a teenager, but even when her world became dark, the New Jersey resident didn’t want to quit social media. Using Facebook was a challenge at first. Diagnosed in 2010 with pseudotumor cerebri a rare health condition in which pressure increases around the brain and can result in the loss of vision, Wright learned how to use a screen reader to read the site through the touch of the keyboard and sound of a robotic voice. Still, when a friend sends her a photo, Wright often has no clue what the image shows. Now Facebook is trying to solve this problem by exploiting the power of artificial intelligence to create new tools that not only describe items in a photo but allows users to ask what’s in an image. “I can have a basic picture in my mind of what’s going on in the picture and now I can comment on my own,” said Wright, who got to try out the new tools that are still being tested. “Of course, it’s different, but it’s something more than I had.” An estimated 285 million people are visually disabled globally, according to the World Health Organization, and research conducted by Facebook showed that blind users have trouble figuring out what’s in a photo because the description isn’t clear or doesn’t exist. Facebook has made it easier to skim through the content on its website with a screen reader by improving HTML headings, adding alternative text for images, launching keyboard shortcuts, and more. Using artificial intelligence to describe photos is only a part of these ongoing efforts. With 1.5 billion users, Facebook isn’t the only social media company that wants to improve its website for the visually disabled. Along with Facebook and other major tech firms, Twitter and LinkedIn have their own accessibility teams and belong to an initiative called “Teaching Accessibility”. Jeff Wieland, Facebook’s head of accessibility engineering, said the group wants to educate more engineers, especially early in college, about designing products that are compatible with the disabled and others. “We really don’t want accessibility to be the luxury of a handful of companies,” Wieland said. “We want everything around the world to be built with accessibility in mind.” 63.
