Unlike in previous years, no long lines were seen outside Chinese shops on Friday for the new iPhone, and the product release only made the headlines in a few media outlets.‎ Huawei unveiled (公布) its Mate 30 smartphone series on Thursday night. Its new devices have won consumers‟ hearts at home and abroad. Many compared it with Apple‟s new iPhone 11, saying that beats the new iPhone in terms of innovation and quality. One customer surnamed Zhao, an IT specialist who pre-ordered a Mate 30 Pro on Friday, said that he chose Mate 30 without hesitation. Zhao said, “It‟s obvious that Huawei‟s new phone with its advanced ‎5G mode would lead the future global telecommunications market, and its new innovative features in gesture and side control attracted my attention, too.”‎ In contrast with iPhone 11‟s lukewarm (冷淡的) sales, Chinese netizens have engaged in discussions on Mate 30 and Mate 30 Pro. An online poll on the Mate 30 and iPhone 11 on Weibo on Friday showed that more than 60 percent of netizens chose the Mate 30, while less than 20 percent chose the iPhone 11.‎ Many chose Huawei not out of patriotism but for its technology.‎ Overseas consumers also engaged in vigorous (有力的) discussions on Huawei‟s new flagship devices on technology sites and social media platforms. On Twitter, many netizens said “nice”, “best phone ever” and “my favorite one” on Huawei‟s Twitter account. Some netizens in countries like the ‎ UK‎,the Netherlands and Argentina asked when Huawei‟s new devices would be released in their countries.‎ ‎21. How did customers react to Apple‟s new product?‎ A. They thought it was cool to use it.‎ B. They stood in long lines to purchase it.‎ C. They can see its headlines advertised everywhere.‎ D. They were less interested in it than in former years.‎ ‎22.

Its service life and function.‎ ‎23. What‟s the main idea of the text?‎ A. Huawei is better than Apple.‎ B. Huawei‟s Mate 30 defeats iPhone 11.‎ C. Smart phones welcome a New Era—‎5G.‎ D. Huawei‟s new devices receive heated discussions.‎ B Looking at their fine-quality crochet (编织物) carefully, the prisoners of Brazil‟s Arisvaldo de Campos Pires maximum security penitentiary (监狱) are a model of concentration. And it‟s no wonder,when you know what‟s going on. Thanks to a cooperation with Brazilian fashion designer Raquel Guimaraes, the inmates (犯人) have one day taken off their sentence for every three days of knitting they perform.‎ The designer turned to the prison for help in 2009 when she had trouble finding knitters for her Doiselles label, which specialises in beautiful knitting and crochet work. She trained 18 prisoners sentenced for crimes ranging from robbery to murder, and their work is now exported globally, including to America, France, and Japan. The hand-made pieces, which are strictly quality-checked, are also sold in 70 stores in Brazil.‎ Named the Flor de Lotus („Lotus Flower‟) Project, the initial (最初的) purpose is a chance for prisoners to earn money while serving their time.‎ Participating inmates are paid a starting salary of 75 per cent of Brazil‟s minimum wage. A quarter of what they earn is put aside, and paid on their release. Former prison inmate Celio Tavares, who ‎ was jailed (投入监狱) for armed robbery, said the project increases prisoners‟ chances of finding a job when their sentences are up. “The program gives inmates skills and confidence they can use when they return to life on the outside. This raises the self-esteem of the prisoners, and opens the door to work and employment for everyone else,” he said.‎ Ms Guimaraes, who works nearby, says around 100 inmates have taken up the knitting challenge since she started training them four years ago. She sees the project as a way for prisoners to be viewed as something more than criminals, explaining, “The reduction of the sentence gives them the value of regaining freedom, integrity and confidence. They are able to do any work and produce very well.”‎ ‎24. The prisoners in a Brazil‟s penitentiary can get a day‟s reduction of their sentence because of .‎ A. their beautiful and fine-quality crochet B. their cooperation with this penitentiary C. every three days of knitting they perform D. their concentration on these hand-made pieces ‎25. What of the following is TRUE about the Flor de Lotus Project?‎ A. The starting salary of participating prisoners is very low.‎ B. Participating prisoners can get high salary only on their release.‎ C. It has helped every prisoner find a job when their sentences are up.‎ D. It initially aims to give prisoners self-esteem after they return to life.‎ ‎26. What can we learn from Ms Guimaraes‟ words?‎ A. She doesn‟t think the prisoners are criminals.‎ B. She has trained over 100 prisoners for four years.‎ C. The inmates can do any work with a satisfying salary on their release.‎ D. The reduction of the sentence makes the prisoners more value their freedom.‎ C ‎“Mirror mirror on the wall, who‟s the fairest of them all?” An old tale tells a seemingly unbelievable story of a magic mirror, but now the magic is no longer unachievable.‎ In August 2018, news went viral (广为传播的) that the police had caught criminal suspects who attended Chinese singer Jacky Cheung‟s concerts. How did the police pick out the suspects among ‎ thousands of screaming fans? The helping hand is AI facial recognition technology. The low-key yet powerful tool is no longer far-fetched, but entering the world of China‟s top investors and companies.‎ Facial recognition is a technology able to identify a person from a digital image or a frame from a video source. Tang Wenbin, CTO of Face + +, an AI computer vision (视觉) technology company in China, vividly explained the workflow (工作流程). According to him, facial recognition is the identification of our appearance, including knowing the sex, age and identity of a person. You may think it is like a brain or a neural (神经的) network. You use data to train it, and then, it learns the pattern. Facial recognition technology has been traditionally allied with the security work but today there is active expansion into other industries including mobile phones, marketing and finance. Chinese start-ups have seen the potential of AI facial recognition for simplifying and speeding up tasks in multiple industries. And the market is now crowded and competitive.‎ China‎ is starting the AI revolution and has made breakthroughs in facial recognition. “If applying AI to different industries is a marathon, the companies there probably have just set got off the blocks,” said Tian Feng, director of Alibaba‎ Cloud Research ‎Center. He also thinks that in the future, everybody will be able to use AI as it will soon become a basic tool for work and life.‎ ‎27. Why is the news mentioned in paragraph 2?‎ A. To introduce a new tool for companies.‎ B. To show the magic has become a reality.‎ C. To prove old tales are based on true stories.‎ D. To describe the background of facial recognition.‎ ‎28. Which of the following best explains “allied with” underlined in paragraph 4?‎ A. Dependent on. B. Compared with. C. Different from. D. Related to.‎ ‎29. We can infer from the last paragraph that .‎ A. AI technology has a promising future B. many companies in China are researching AI C. AI plays a key role in companies‟ development D. AI technology will be used in marathons one day ‎30. What can be a suitable title for the text?‎ A. Effects of AI technology B. Facial recognition in security C. The eye of AI in China D. Breakthroughs of Chinese technology 第二节（共 5 小题：每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ While many useful websites make English classes a little easier, some students still find it terrible.Here‟s how you can survive in your high school English class. You may actually end up enjoying it.‎ Read more and learn to love reading ‎ 31 So you should learn to love reading. Don‟t let one bad reading experience influence you.‎ Of course, there are skills to help when you‟re reading. 32 You should decide the suitable material for you to read. Start at a comfortable reading level, where the number of words you don‟t know per page is less than five. Most importantly, though, keep in mind that any time is a great time to read.‎ ‎ 33 ‎ Your teacher‟s job is to help you learn. She will be pleased if you start loving the subject and her class. It might seem a little embarrassing at first to admit that you need help, but reaching out is an important step. If you‟re having trouble, find time to sit down with your English teacher and tell her about it. 34 ‎ Get involved in class discussions.‎ If you‟re not speaking up when your teacher asks a question or when discussions are ongoing, there‟s no way for the teacher to know that you‟re doing your homework and finishing your readings on time.‎ Participating discussions engages you in the class, helping you to become more interested in what you‟re reading and learning about. 35 ‎ A. Try to be independent.‎ B. Talk to your teacher.‎ C. However, developing reading skills takes time.‎ D. You‟d be surprised by how helpful your teacher can be.‎ E. Reading‎ allows you to travel and imagine the impossible.‎ F. Just read more so that you are able to understand what your teacher means.‎ G. Another good point is that participating enriches your knowledge of the material.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 45 分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题：每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ One Monday morning, all the employees reached the office as usual. They saw a big sign on the door, 36 : Yesterday, the person who has been hindering (妨碍) your growth in this company 37 .‎ We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the 38 .‎ In the beginning, they all got 39 for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious and 40 to know who was the man. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to 41 the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin,the more the 42 heated up. Everyone thought, “Who on earth is this guy hindering my 43 ?Well, at least he died!”‎ One by one the 44 employees got closer to the coffin, and when they see it, they 45 ‎ became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, ‎46 in silence, as if someone had touched the 47 part of their soul. Inside the coffin, there was a 48 . Everyone who 49 it could see himself. There was also a 50 next to the mirror that said: There is only one person who is capable of setting 51 to your growth: IT IS YOU!‎ Your life does not 52 when your boss, your friends or your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change and you 53 your limited beliefs. Examine yourself and watch yourself.Don‟t be afraid of 54 , impossibilities and losses.

A. living B. difference C. contribution D. dream 第 Ⅱ 卷 第二节 语法填空（共 10 小题：每小题 1.5 分，满分 15 分）‎ 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ As we know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life.Without a good dream, people can‟t make progress and countries can‟t develop. And I hold the strong belief 56 everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and 57 (wish) for good things,however, costs nothing!‎ What‟s more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially 58 those who are senior high school students. It is high time for 59 (they) to fly their dreams. If they can‟t let out dreams fly,the dream would just be 60 dream, not reality!‎ Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China 61 (success) hosted grand National Day Military Parade on October 1, 2019; with a nice dream, the girls in the National Team of Women‟s Volleyball of China 62 (stand) on the championship podium for many times; with a nice dream, Yuan Longping rids the world of hunger.‎ So my good friends, if you are eager 63 (realize) your dream, please do not be afraid in ‎ face of 64 (difficulty) or give up in face of failure or lose your dream in face of pains. You must keep going forward bravely! Just 65 (fly) your dream highly above the sky!‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分）‎ 假定你是李华，你所在的校书法社团正在招收新队员。请给你的留学生朋友 Eric 写封邮件邀请他参加，内容包括：‎ ‎1. 社团活动；‎ ‎2. 报名方式及截止日期。‎ 注意：‎ ‎1. 词数 80 左右；‎ ‎2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。‎ 参考词汇：书法社团 calligraphy club 招收 recruit Dear Eric,‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua 第二节 概要写作（满分 25 分）‎ 阅读下面的短文，根据其内容写一篇 60 字左右的内容概要。‎ Many of us invest valuable time, energy and money planning our vacations. We do this because we know for sure that going on vacations must be good for us. Research proves this feeling without a doubt.‎ Vacations help us perform better at work, improve our sleep quality and cushion us against depression.Yet, despite these benefits, many of us return home with a feeling that our last vacation was OK—but not great. In order to change this, some mistakes should be avoided. A classic one for vacation planners is attempting to maximize value for money by planning trips that have too many components (组成部分).‎ Perhaps you‟re planning a trip to Europe, seven cities in 10 days, and you realize it will cost only a little more to add two more destinations to the list. It sounds fine in theory, but hopping from one place to the next hardly gives an opportunity to experience what psychologists call mindfulness (留意)—time to take in our new surroundings, time to be present and absorb our travel experiences. Another mistake is that we worry too much about strategic issues such as how to find a good flight deal, how to get from A to B, or which destinations to add or subtract (减) from our journey. These issues may seem important, but our psychological state of mind is far more important.‎ Actually, vacation happiness is based on the following top rules. First, choose your travel companions wisely, because nothing contributes more significantly to a trip than the right companions.‎ Second, don‟t spend your vacation time in a place where everything is too expensive so as to maintain a positive mood. Third, shop wisely, for meaningful experiences provide more long-term happiness than physical possessions.‎ ‎2019 年秋 A 佳教育大联盟期中考试 高二英语 答案解析及听力材料 第一部分 听力 ‎1—5 ACBCC 6—10 ACBCA 11—15 BCBBA 16—20 ACBCA 第二部分 阅读理解 ‎21—23 DBB 24—26 CAD 27—30 BDAC 苹果 iPhone 11 对决华为 Mate 30。9 月 11 日，iPhone 11 新品发布会如期而至，9 月 ‎19 日，华为 Mate 30 首发于德国；‎9 月 2‎0 日，iPhone 11 系列启动线下发售，‎9 月 2‎6 日，华为 Mate 30 系列正式发售。两大手机巨头进入智能手机市场博弈阶段。‎ ‎21. D 考查细节理解。根据文章第一段第一句：“Sales of Apple’s new iPhone ‎11 in China began on Friday, but were met with a cooler reception from consumers than in previous years.”‎ ‎22. B 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段第三句：“Many compared it with Apple’s new iPhone 11,saying that beats the new iPhone in terms of innovation and quality.”‎ ‎23. B 考查主旨大意。通读全文获取信息，文章通过比较苹果 iPhone 11 发布遭遇冷淡和华为 Mate 30 发布受国内外市民的欢迎来向读者展示这样一个事实：华为 Mate 30 击败苹果iPhone 11。根据第二段第三句 Many compared it with Apple’s new iPhone 11, saying that beats the new iPhone in terms of innovation and quality. 以及文章第三四段都是通过对比来展示华为 Mate 30 在国内外市场上占绝对优势。而 A 选项为最强干扰项，不具体，文章只把华为Mate 30 与 iPhone 11 比较，所以笼统的说华为手机比苹果手机好不切合文意。本文是一篇记叙文，讲述的是一个组织囚犯进行编织工作的 Lotus Flowers Project“莲花项目”的产生以及其对产生的积极作用。‎ ‎24. C 考查细节理解。根据第一段第三句话“…the inmates have one day taken off their sentence for every three days of knitting they perform”可知：这些囚犯每做 3 天的编织工作，可以获得一天的减刑。因此，答案选 C 项。‎ ‎25. A 考查细节理解。根据第四段第一句话“Participating inmates are paid a starting salary of 75per cent of Brazil’s minimum wage. ”可知，参加的囚犯最开始获得巴西最低薪水的 75%，因此符合 A 选项，他们获得的薪水是很低的。B 选项意为“囚犯们只有出狱时才能得到高报酬”。而文中提到“A quarter of what they earn is put aside, and paid on their release.”他们所得报酬的四分之一由狱方保管，直至出狱后一笔结清。与选项表达意思有偏差，故不正确。C选项意为“莲花项目已帮助每个囚犯在刑满释放时找到了工作”。而文中提到“the project increases prisoners’ chances of finding a job when their sentences are up.”这一项目增加了囚犯在刑满释放后找到工作的几率。故此选项不正确。D 选项意为“此项目最初的目的是在囚犯们回归外界生活后给他们自尊”，但从文中的 the initial (最初的) purpose is a chance for prisoners to earn money while serving their time.可得知，此选项不正确。‎ ‎26. D 考查细节理解。根据第五段Ms. Guimaras的话“The reduction of the sentence gives them the value of regaining freedom…”可知减刑使得囚犯们珍视重获的自由，即 D 项。‎ ‎27. B 考查推理判断。第一段引入童话故事里的魔镜，第一段结尾提到“but now the magic is no longer unachievable”，紧接着第二段就以实例证明魔镜确实不再是难以实现的幻想，因此第二段说明现代技术把童话故事里的“魔镜”变成了现实。‎ ‎28. D 考查词义猜测。根据划线部分所在句子中的“traditionally...the security work”和后面的转折“but today there is active expansion into other industries including mobile phones, marketing and finance”可知，传统上，面部识别一直都与安全方面的工作有关，但是现在这一技术扩展到了其他行业。故划线部分应表示“与„„有关联”，故选 D。‎ ‎29. A 考查推理判断。根据 Tian Feng 的话“If applying AI to different industries is a marathon,the companies there probably have just got off the blocks”, 可知，如果把将人工智能技术应用到不同行业中比作一场马拉松，那么这些公司可能处于刚起跑的阶段。但从最后一句“in the future, everybody will be able to use AI as it will soon become a basic tool for work and life.”可知，“将来，每个人能使用 AI 因为它马上会成为工作和生活中的基本工具。”因此，AI有着前景很好的未来。‎ ‎30. C 考查标题判断。结合文章内容可知，本文主要讲了人工智能技术中面部识别技术在中国的发展和应用。‎ 阅读七选五（5×‎2’‎=‎10’‎）‎ ‎31—35 ECBDG ‎31. E 根据小标题可知此空内容与“阅读”这个话题相关。下文指出你应该学会爱上阅读。‎ 根据 So 可知设空处与下一句是因果关系。E 项“阅读能帮助你旅行，想象不可能的事情”，‎ 与下文联系紧密。‎ ‎32. C 设空处的上一句提到有一些技巧是可以帮助阅读的。由此可推测设空处的内容与技巧相关。C 选项“然而，提升阅读技巧也是需要时间的”与上文不仅内容相通，都是讲阅读技巧，而且形成转折关系。‎ ‎33. B 空格处为小标题。提炼对应段落内容大意可知，本段主要讲到如果我们遇到问题，可以找老师帮忙，把自己的问题摊开来与老师谈谈，故选 B。‎ ‎34. D 本段主要讲遇到问题多向老师求助，且上一句提到找时间跟老师谈谈你遇到的问题。‎ 由此可知，D 选项“你会惊讶于你的老师是一个多好的帮手”不仅贴合本段的大意，而且与上一句逻辑相通。‎ ‎35. G 本段主要建议积极参与课堂讨论。上文指出参与讨论的好处——使你融入课堂，帮助你对你阅读和学习的东西更感兴趣。G 项承接上文，指出另一个好处就是可以使你丰富相关材料的知识。‎ 第三部分 语言运用 完形填空 ‎36—40 BAACC 41—45 DACAD 46—50 AABDD 51—55 ADCBB 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文，文章讲述了公司通过所设定的一场特殊的“葬礼”让员工认识 到自己才是阻碍个人发展最大障碍这一故事，阐明了要改变自己、超越自我局限才能有所作为这一道理。‎ ‎36. B。考察非谓语动词，标牌或指示牌上写着什么东西习惯上用 say，所以选用 saying。‎ ‎37. A。考查语境理解和动词短语的辨析。由下文中的“funeral”和“death”可以推断出公 司有人去世，所以选用 passed away。‎ ‎38. A。考查后置信息。由第二段中的第二句可知葬礼在体育馆举行, 所以选用 gym。‎ ‎39. C。考查语境理解。由本句中的“death”可以推断出所有的人为他们同事的去世感到悲 伤，所以选用 sad。‎ ‎40. C。考查语境理解。由前面的“started getting curious”可知“他们很想知道这个人到底 是谁”。因此用 long，此处为动词，表示“渴望，盼望”，熟词生义。‎ ‎41. D。考查语境理解。本句意为：由于体育馆内人们的情绪非常激动，不得不下令让安全员来管控室内的人群，“control”在这里是“管理、管控”的意思，所以选用 control。‎ ‎42. A。考查前置信息。由第二段中的第二句中的“The excitement in the gym”可知当时他们 的情绪激动，越是靠近棺材，情绪更加激动，所以选用 excitement。‎ ‎43. C。考查语篇理解。此处的 hindering 后面的“progress”与第一段中 hindering 后面的 ‎“growth”相对应，进步即成长，所以此处选用 progress。‎ ‎44. A。考查语篇理解。根据前文“getting curious”，所以选用 curious。‎ ‎45. D。考查语境理解。由下文可知，当大家靠近棺材看到的却是镜子中的自己，这时大家因“突然”惊愕而一时语塞，所以选用 suddenly。‎ ‎46. A。考查语境理解。由前面的“speechless”和后面提到当大家靠近棺材看到的却是镜子 中的自己，自然会感到震惊，所以选用 shocked。‎ ‎47. A。考查语境中的形容词的使用。本句意为：他们默默地站在棺材旁边，深感震惊，好像有人触碰到了他们灵魂最深处，用deepest 来表达触动之深，所以选用 deepest。‎ ‎48. B。考查信息后置。由下一句中用“it”指代，以及下下一句中的原词重现，可知这里要 选用 mirror。‎ ‎49. D。考查语篇。根据前文“inside the coffin”，所以选用 look inside。‎ ‎50. D。考查具体语境中名词的辨析。 由于上面写有文字，可知 sign 在这里是“标牌或指示牌”的意思，所以选用 sign。‎ ‎51. A。考查语篇理解。由文章的内容以及下一段中的“limited beliefs”可以推断出这里要表 达的是：只有一个人能为你的成长设定限制——那就是你自己，所以选用 limits。‎ ‎52. D。考查后置信息。此处的“Your life does not change when„change”和一下句中的“Your life changes when YOU change”相对应，所以选用 change。‎ ‎53. C。考查动词短语的辨析。rely on“依靠，依赖”， cut down“砍倒；消减”， go beyond ‎“超越”，let off“排放；释放”，此句意为：当你做出改变，超越你受到限定的信念时，‎ 你的生活才会改变，所以应该选用 go beyond。‎ ‎54. B。考查逻辑关系。由后面的“impossibilities and losses”可在这里要用 difficulties。‎ ‎55. B。考查动词与名词的搭配和语境理解。由语境可知此处所要表达的是：你面对生活的方式有天壤之别，make a/the difference 是一个动词短语，意为“起作用、有影响、关系重大、天壤之别”的意思，所以应该选用 difference。‎ 语法填空 ‎56. that 考查从句连词。剔除句子旁枝部分，不难看出 belief 后接名词性从句(that) everyone does have a good dream。‎ ‎57. wishing 考查非谓语动词。将句中的 however 提前，句子为 Wishing for good things costs nothing!，其中 Wishing for good things 动名词短语做句子的主语。‎ ‎58. for 考查介词。根据句意，放飞我们的梦想是重要的，尤其对那些高中生来说。也是考查 It is important for sb. to do sth.句型。‎ ‎59. them 考查代词。介词 for 后用宾格。‎ ‎60. a 考查冠词。根据句意“如果他们不放飞梦想，梦想将只是个梦，而不会成为现实。”‎ 可知答案。‎ ‎61. successfully 考查副词，修饰后面的动词短语 hosted grand National Day Military Parade。‎ 此处涉及到词性的曲折变化，注意不要写错。‎ ‎62. have stood 考查谓语动词的时态。由句中的 for many times 可知此句用现在完成时。‎ ‎63. to realize 考查非谓语动词。根据短语搭配 be eager to do sth.可得答案。‎ ‎64. difficulties 考查名词的复数。‎ ‎65. fly 考查谓语动词。此句为祈使句，用动词原形开头。‎ 第四部分 写作 参考范文 Dear Eric,‎ Knowing that you are interested in Chinese calligraphy, I’m writing to invite you to join our school calligraphy club which is now recruiting new members.‎ There are many interesting activities in the club.
