The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.Currently,battery life is an issue—a fully charged battery won’t take you as far as a full tank of petrol.There are also limited numbers of charging points to plug an EV into.Of course,technology is always improving.Some of the biggest tech companies,like Google and Tesla,are spending huge amounts of money developing electric cars.And most of the big car manufacturers are now making them too.Colin Herron,a consultant on low-carbon vehicle technology,told the BBC:“The big leap forward will come with solid state batteries,which will appear first in mobile phones and laptops before they progress to cars.” These will charge more quickly and give cars a bigger range.Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.But some countries offer incentives,such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes,and not charging for road tax and parking.Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on,overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams. These kinds of measures have made Norway the country with the most electric cars per capita(人均) at more than thirty electric cars per 1000 inhabitants.But Colin Herron warns that “electric motoring” doesn’t mean a zero-carbon future.“It’s emission-free motoring,but the car has to be built,the battery has to be built,and the electricity does come from somewhere.” Maybe it’s time to think about making fewer journeys or using public transport. 1.What can we infer from the question at the end of paragraph 1? A.We should not be too optimistic about the future. B.Electric vehicles may not solve the traffic problems. C.It’s not a good idea to replace petrol vehicles with electric ones. D.It is not easy to obtain a greener future by means of electric vehicles. 2.What does the underlined word “incentives” mean in paragraph 2? A.Payment. B.Income. C.Encouragement. D.Method. 3.Which statement is true according to the passage? A.Electric motoring will create a zero-carbon future. B.Electric cars might not get stuck in traffic jams in the future. C.There are four obstacles on the road to global traffic being totally electric. D.Putting solid-state batteries in electric cars first will be a “great leap forward”. 4.What is the most suitable title for the text? A.Total Electric Traffic:a Long Way to Go B.Electric Vehicles:a Road to a Greener Future C.Electric Power or Petrol:a Tough Decision to Make D.Petrol and Diesel Vehicles:a Main Source of Gases Ⅴ.七选五 Much of the work in today’s world is accomplished(完成) in teams.Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals.　1　 Companies spend millions hiring top business people.Is their money well spent?  　2　They focused on football,basketball and baseball.The results are mixed.For football and basketball,adding talented players to a team proves a good method,but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent;above that level,the team’s performance begins to decline.Interestingly,this trend isn’t evident in baseball,where additional individual talent keeps improving the team’s performance.  To explain this phenomenon,the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate(协调) their actions.　3　 In baseball,the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates.They conclude that when task interdependence is high,team performance will suffer when there is too much talent,while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower.If a basketball star is,for example,trying to gain a high personal point total,he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate,affecting the team’s performance.Young children learning to play team sports are often told,“There is no I in TEAM.” 　4　  Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team,some players may make less effort.Just as in a game of tug-of-war(拔河比赛),whenever a person is added,everyone else pulls the rope with less force. 　5　 An A-team may require a balance—not just A players,but a few generous B players as well.  A.It’s not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent. B.Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent. C.The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers’ attention. D.Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship. E.Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. F.Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent. G.This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball. Ⅵ.语法填空 The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to a team of scientists who created a ground-breaking technique using lasers (激光) to understand the extremely rapid movements of electrons,which were 1.　　　　　　 (previous) thought impossible to follow.  Pierre Agostini,Ferenc Krausz and Anne L’ Huillier “demonstrated a way to create extremely short pulses (脉冲) of light that can 2.　　　　　　　　　 (use) to measure the rapid processes in which electrons move or change energy,” the Nobel Committee said when the prize was announced in Stockholm on Tuesday.It 3.　　　　　　 (praise) the winners for giving “humanity new tools for 4.　　　　　　　(explore) the world of electrons inside atoms and molecules (分子).”  5.　　　　　　 rapid are the movements of electrons inside atoms and molecules that they are measured in attoseconds—6.　　　　　　 almost incomprehensibly short unit of time.“An attosecond is to one second as one second is to the age of the universe,” the committee explained.  “They were able to,in a sense,provide an illumination (照明) tool that allows us to watch the 7.　　　　　　 (gather) of molecules:How things come together 8.　　　　　　　　　　(make) a molecule,” Bob Rosner,president of the American Physical Society and a professor at the University of Chicago,told CNN.  The movements “happen very quickly and normally we have no idea how they actually occur or 9.　　　　　　 the order of events is,” said Rosner.But their work 10.　　　　　　 (mean) scientists can now observe how these movements happen,he added.  Ⅶ.应用文写作 你校英文报正在举办“科技与生活”英文征文比赛。请你以“Technology and Life”为题写一篇英文短文参赛,内容包括: 1.科技进步给生活带来的便利; 2.科技进步带来的不好的影响; 3.你的观点。 注意: 1.写作词数应为80左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Technology and Life             Ⅷ.读后续写 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。 This summer vacation has nearly come to an end,but I have hardly finished reading any useful books or updated any satisfactory writings.With an empty head and a guilty feeling,I owe this to my involuntary addiction to the mobile phone. This is not because I have more free time and rely on my MP as a time-killer.On the contrary,I am occupied by various chores and time left at my will is only pieces of hours.I give up doing serious and creative things during these fragments of hours,making excuses for myself:“I am tired so I need to do something easy and relaxing...” But,sticking my face to the MP turns out to be by no means relaxing.My vision becomes more unclear and precious time is wasted. The prime culprit(元凶) should be WeChat:Being quick-responsive to any message sent to me is a bad habit;Being afraid of losing track of what all my “friends” are doing comes at a price;The colorful ads of “daigou” sacks(洗劫) not only my purse...The other two accomplices (共犯) that I need to put in jail at once are Taobao and Koala (though I know I can’t bear to do that!) I have to admit that a lot of apps provide much convenience to my life,such as dictionaries,maps,music,e-books and apps for stock dealing,for taxi booking,for ticket and hotel booking,for picture processing etc.The side effect is that I am so buried in these attractive apps that I just can’t put my MP down,close my eyes for a while and think what my priority is. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 At night,I happily get onto my bed with a book in my hand,hoping to enjoy some “quality” time by myself.             Now I am looking at the desktop of my mobile phone,full of apps.             参考答案 Ⅰ.1.into　2.of　3.with　4.prediction　5.occupation 6.emphasis　7.resistance　8.librarian Ⅱ.1.made from　2.keep in touch with　3.at rest　4.in the absence of　5.in place of Ⅲ.1.It can be argued that　2.On the one hand;on the other hand　3.has made it possible;to receive education　4.were opposed to　5.All in all Ⅳ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保,但是电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决,而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳,实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走。 1.D　推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“But is that easier said than done?”可知,第一段提出疑问:英国宣布从2030年开始禁止销售新型汽油和柴油汽车,这说起来容易做起来难吗?以及第二段第一句“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.”指出实现全球交通完全电动化还有很长的路要走。由此可推测出,作者在第一段最后提出疑问是想说明用电动汽车来实现环保并不容易。故选D项。 2.C　词句猜测题。根据画线词前一句“Cost is another issue that may discourage people switching to electric power.”和画线词后的“such as cutting prices by reducing import taxes,and not charging for road tax and parking.”可知,画线词后的举例是对incentives的进一步说明,通过降低进口税来降价以及不收取道路税和停车费,这些有助于降低购买和使用成本,有助于激励人们购买, incentives意为“激励措施”,与encouragement(起激励作用的事物)意思最接近。故选C项。 3.B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some also provide exclusive lanes for electric cars to be driven on,overtaking traditional cars which might be stuck in jams.”可知,电动汽车有专用通道,因此,“电动汽车在未来可能不会陷入交通堵塞”是正确的说法。故选B项。 4.A　主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段中的“The road to global traffic being totally electric is still a long way off.”可知,电动汽车更加清洁、更加环保,但实现全球交通电动化还有很长的路要走,电动汽车本身有两大问题亟待解决,而且汽车电动化并不意味着零碳。由此可推测出,A项“全电动交通:任重道远”最适合作本文标题。故选A项。 Ⅴ.【语篇导读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲了建立一支最佳阵容球队比简单地雇佣最优秀的人才要复杂得多。一支一流球队可能需要一种平衡——不仅仅是最好球员,也需要一些有雅量的普通球员。 1.B　根据上下文内容可知,此空起承上启下的作用,也是在举例,B项Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent.与之对应,故选B项。 2.E　根据下文可知,这些都属于体育方面,该空是用来引出下文的,E项“Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world.”与之对应,故选E项。 3.G　下文说明了研究结果,该空起承上启下的作用,G项“This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.”与之对应,故选G项。 4.D　该空起承接上文的作用,D项“Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship.”与之对应,故选D项。 5.F　根据下文“An A-team may require a balance—not just A players,but a few generous B players as well.”可知,该空引出下文,F项“Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent.”与之对应,故选F项。 Ⅵ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了2023年诺贝尔物理学奖被授予了一组科学家,他们创造了一项突破性的技术,利用激光来理解电子的极快速运动,这在以前被认为是不可能的。 1.previously　考查副词。空处修饰动词“thought”,应用副词形式,故填previously。 2.be used　考查动词的语态。分析句子结构可知,that引导定语从句,指代先行词“pulses (脉冲) of light”,和动词use之间是被动关系,应用被动语态,情态动词can后接动词原形,故填be used。 3.praised　考查动词的时态。结合上下文可知,此处是描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,故填praised。 4.exploring　考查非谓语动词。作介词for的宾语,应用动词-ing形式,故填exploring。 5.So　考查固定句型。结合句意可知,此处是“so...that...”引导的结果状语从句,首字母应大写,故填So。 6.an　考查冠词。unit是可数名词,此处表示泛指,应用不定冠词,且almost是以元音音素开头,应用an,故填an。 7.gathering　考查名词。结合空前的“the”可知,空处应填名词作动词watch的宾语,gathering“聚集”,不可数名词,故填gathering。 8.to make　考查非谓语动词。此处表示目的,应用动词不定式,作目的状语,故填to make。 9.what　考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处和“how they actually occur”并列,引导宾语从句,引导词在从句中作表语,指“事件的顺序是什么”,应用连接代词what引导,故填what。 10.means　考查动词的时态和主谓一致。句子是描述一个一般性事实,应用一般现在时,主语work是不可数名词,谓语动词用单数,故填means。 Ⅶ.Technology and Life  It is a great honor for me to deliver a speech concerning “Technology and Life”.With the rapid development of technology,its influences on our daily lives are everywhere. Thanks to high-tech,we can stay connected with friends and families,no matter where they are.We can easily access information,and even order food and groceries with a few taps on our mobile phones.However,technology also brings negative influences.With the constant exposure to the screens,our eyes get tired.What’s worse,there is always a concern about privacy and data security. Despite these drawbacks,I think technology’s positive impacts outweigh the negative ones.So,we need to use technology in a way that maximizes its benefits while minimizing its harm. Ⅷ.At night,I happily get onto my bed with a book in my hand,hoping to enjoy some “quality” time by myself.But before I know it,I’ve been scrolling through my phone for an hour.The moment I open the app,I’m sucked into a virtual world.I feel like I’m being controlled by my phone,like a puppet on a string.I don’t want to admit it,but I’m addicted to my phone. Now I am looking at the desktop of my mobile phone,full of apps.I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of information.I can’t help but feel anxious,like there’s something missing in my life.I know I need to do something,but I don’t know where to start.So,I decide to take a step back and look at the bigger picture.I realize that my life is not just about my phone.There are so many other things that are more important,like my family,my friends,and my health.I decide to make a change.I start by setting limits on how much time I spend on my phone each day.I also try to focus more on real-life interactions and activities. 12 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
