George's Secret Key to the Universe is an adventure story complete with villains(反面人物) and hero and is illustrated with enjoyable line-drawings.It involves a lost pig,a humorously portrayed()intelligent computer,school bullies and a trip through the Solar System.Didactic discussions on aspects of modern physics,such as supernova()explosions and black-hole physics are hung on this set-up.There are also fact boxes on physics and astronomy,and some photographs of astronomical phenomena:planets,comets,galaxies()and so on.Overall,the book is a serious effort to convey facts and ideas in present day astronomy and astrophysics,within a science-fiction adventure story. 高二英语（四）第2页（共8页） The mixture is grent.Children lov'e focts and adventure storics.The combination will catch tbeir interest and keep them oecupied for hours.After ten minutes of leafing through the book,my granddaughter Ruby was deeply absorbed and I had to promise to bring it back for her to read after I had completed my review.Like any educational fool,it will succeed for some and not for others.I suppose there should be more of the former. )21.Where do you think this passage is taken?

The lights were never brighter and the crowds were never bigger for a home-grown sports hero than they were a quarter-century ago for Ray Hall.But his athletic achievements,as impressive as they are,are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man.Known as "Sugar Ray"in his teens,Hall was rated among the country's top 25 high school basketball players.An inner-city kid from a solid family,Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College-still recovering from its failure-back to respectability,rejecting more favourable offers.His status brought more pressure than any 18-year-old should have to handle.However,I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight. After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career.The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball.When I met Hall-still fit at 46-for lunch Monday,he wore a cut-sharp gray suit,designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed Success. "That was always the question-when the cheers end,where do you go?Who do you turn to?"he said."It starts and ends with that person in the mirror." Hall got the concept of academics-first from his parents.He graduated from Canisius a semester early."No matter how good an athlete you are,you are just one injury away from losing it all,"he said."But if you take care of things academically,you are prepared until you leave this Earth.” For the past 14 years,he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro.He married his college sweetheart.They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs.He figured out early what others learn too late:Athletics is part of a journey,not the destination.Congratulations,Ray,you made it.In more ways than one. ()24.According to the writer,which of the following best describes Ray's success? A.Unlike other athletes,he was academically superior. B.He has gained impressive athletic achievements. C.He defeated his injury and returned to the playground. D.He enjoys a successful job and a happy family. ()25 What's the right order of the events related to Ray? a.He was rated among the best high school basketball players. b.He was in a car accident. c.He graduated from Canisius College. 高二英语（四）第3页（共8页） d.He started his computer sales job. e.He gave up his athletic career. A.a,c.e.b.d B.a,c,b,e,d C.c,a,b.d.e D.c,a,e.b.d ()26.What can we learn from the passage? A.Ray was from an academic family. B.Ray was very mature in his teens. C.Athletics was not Ray's final goal in life. D.Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality. )27.What was the writer's intention in writing this passage? A.To emphasise the need for a good education. B.To explain the importance of choosing the right college. C.To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete. D.To warn against playing professional basketball. C Vehicles on our roads are now mostly petrol and diesel()cars,but their days cannot continue for much longer.A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 percent of daily car journeys in the US.That figure have risen to 98 percent by 2024. One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been "range anxiety"-drivers' concerns about running out of electricity on a journey.While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems,the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed.That said,charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA. Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed greatly over the last few years.Not that long ago,electric cars were met with distrust,and their high prices drove customers away.Thanks to improvements in battery capacity,recharging times,performance and price,the current generation of electric cars are starting to persuade picky consumers.Plug-in cars will soon give internal combustion engine(内撚机)models a run for their money, As well as development on the road,electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies.Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel,having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol-powered outboard motors took over.Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back.Steps towards electric air travel are also being made,with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery-powered planes.The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality. Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions().If the US could replace 87 percent of its cars with electric vehicles,it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 percent.However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim()to be completely emission-free.That said,as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources,electric vehicles will become even cleaner. ()28.The underlined word"hurdle"in Paragraph 2 probably means A.aim B.result C.difficulty D.step )29.Why did many people refuse to buy the electric cars in the past? A.They were very poorly made. B.They were expensive. C.They were not widely promoted. D.They couldn't travel at a high speed. )30.What is the function of Paragraph 4? A.To introduce the history of electric travel. B.To explain why the world needs more electric cars. C.To show why more people have interest in electric cars. D.To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used. 高二英语（四）第4页（共8页） ( )31.Which is the best title for this passage? A.History of Electric Cars B.Problems with Petrol and Diesel Cars C.Best Means of Transportation D.Driving into a Cleaner Future D Having a microchip implanted in a man's brain may be common in sci-fi movie plots,but it may soon become an actual possibility. Elon musk,founder of Space X and co-founder of electric car maker Tesla-has been working on this technology.On Aug 28,Musk gave display of the chip,which was implanted into the head of a pig named Gertrude. The chip,developed by Musk's company,is the size of a coin.But don't let its size fool you. The tiny chip has over 3,000 electrodes attached to flexible threads,which can monitor about 1,000 neurons().It collects neural signals from an area of the brain,and then transmits those signals wirelessly to nearby computers.In the display,Gertrude could be seen walking around her pen sniffing the ground while a monitor showed her brain activity. Though the technology is still in its early stage,it is encouraging for humans.This technology would solve a lot of brain injuries,which will allow the human brain to combine with an artificial intelligence. When the device can be applied to humans,its main goal will be to help those who have mobility issues.Musk hopes this technology can also be used to help those with hearing and eyesight issues and one day lead to a cure for epilepsy(癫痫). Although such a device could,in principle,repair those problems,putting it into practice is by no means a piece of cake.Currently,the device can transmit signals from about 500 neurons in the pig's brain.Compared to 80 billion neurons in a human brain,this number is tiny.And to cover the whole human brain also means the electrodes have to be much smaller. Also,implanting the chip into the brain poses a potential danger.There is a risk of the immune system attacking this foreign body. Right now,the hope of controlling the brain via controlling a few neurons seems overly optimistic. "There are many technological challenges to overcome before Neuralink can put its devices to the parposes,"Yuan Lanfeng,an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China,told China Daily. ()32.What do we know about Elon Musk's microchip according to the first three paragraphs? A.It was inspired by sci-fi movie plots. B.It is able to collect wireless signals. C.It has been implanted into a human's brain. D.It is tiny in size but powerful in function. )33.What do paragraphs 6-7 mainly talk about? A.Potential problems in applying the chip to human. B.Key differences between pigs'and humans'brains. C.The amount of time and money implanting the chip could cost. D.How the immune system is the major obstacle to the implant. ()34.What is the major target of the microchip in human application? A.To help people with difficulty in moving freely. B.To monitor animals'brain activity. C.To develop a cure for epilepsy. D.To contribute to the research on AI technologies. ()35.How does Yuan Lanfeng feel about implanting the chip into the human brain? A.Worried. B.Excited. C.Cautious. D.Optimistic. 高二英语（四）第5页（共8页） 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分(2.5分) 阅读下而短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入门处的最佳选项选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Cultivate Confidence?

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward,and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on,they looked down on Henry and didn't want to play with him together. Henry was sad but he wasn't angry with Robert for his rude behaviour,because he knew that they misunderstood him.Thus,he just ignored the other boys'laughter and continued to go to school and study as well.However,Robert didn't invite Henry to go home together with him anymore. Instead,he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward.Every day after school,they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun. A few days later,Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river,and got out of his depth.
