Let’s look at the strangest inventions from across the globe.‎ THE TOMATO-FEEDING ROBOT ‎ Japanese juice seller, Kagome, invented a robot that will feed you tomatoes with its long metal arms extended on either side of your face while you run. Originally created for the Tokyo Marathon, the robot even has a timer so that tomato-eating runners won’t use up their supply too quickly.‎ THE ROLLING BENCH ‎ It’s lunchtime and many people may be looking for a park bench to sit on, but the rain has made every surface humid. This is when the rolling bench comes in. When one side is too wet, a handle on the side can roll up another dry side for better sitting conditions. The inventions come from designer Sung Woo Park, from Seoul in South Korea.‎ THE LED SLIPPERS(拖鞋)‎ ‎ We all hate hurting our toes in the dark, but a revolutionary footwear design can prevent this from happening again. The slightly strange LED slippers are designed to be comfortable, yet shine your path at night. With two in-built LED lights at the top of each slipper, the users can direct their toes at any area that needs light.‎ THE FOOT-POWERED BICYCLE ‎ It’s the unusual invention of German designers Tom Hambrock and Juri Spetter. Besides an unusual appearance, its function is also slightly strange, as the user must run to get the bicycle moving. As soon as the riders have enough momentum(动力), they’re able to rest their feet on the back wheel and use the handlebars to control its direction.‎ ‎21. What can we know about the tomato-feeding robot from the text?‎ ‎  A. It’s popular with lazy eaters.‎ ‎  B. It was the creation of a Korean.‎ ‎  C. It was designed for a sports event.‎ ‎  D. It has two plastic arms.‎ ‎22. Which invention was designed for its users’ safety?‎ ‎  A. The LED slippers.  ‎ ‎  B. The rolling bench.‎ ‎  C. The foot-powered bicycle.‎ ‎  D. The tomato-feeding robot.‎ ‎23. What can we infer about the inventions mentioned in the text?‎ ‎ A. They bring us speed improvement.      ‎ ‎ B. Their inventors are all from Asia.        ‎ ‎ C. They are powered by electricity.      ‎ ‎ D. They can serve us in different ways. ‎ B ‎ 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. 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 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. ‎ ‎24. 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 thought its quality was worse than before.‎ ‎ D. They were less interested in it than former years.‎ ‎25. In what aspect is Mate better than iPhone 11 according to paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. The price and the weight. B. The appearance and the speed. ‎ ‎ C. The quality and innovation. D. The service life and function. ‎ ‎26. What does the underlined word “poll” in paragraph 3 probably mean?‎ ‎ A. Store. B. Vote. C. Account. D. Exam.‎ 27. What could be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. A New Era — ‎5G B. Huawei Is Better than Apple ‎ ‎ C. Apple’s New iPhone 11 D. Huawei’s Mate 30 Defeats iPhone 11‎ ‎ ‎ C ‎ As a Fulbright(富布莱特法案基金)scholar at Yale, I wanted very much to get some individual help from some famous professors, but their office-hours were only once a week and there were always students waiting outside．At first, I was too polite to get their help．Then I realized that Chinese politeness does not work in this society．I needed to be aggressive to get what I wanted．I also noticed that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion．The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students．‎ ‎ I was impressed by the role of the professor in the class．The professor didn't act as an authority, giving final conclusions, but as a researcher looking for answers to questions together with the students．One linguistic feature of his interacting with his students was that he used many modal verbs（情态动词）-far more than I did in Beiwai．When ‎ answering questions, he usually said：“this is my personal opinion and it could be wrong．It would be a good idea if you could read the book I mentioned the other day．” Or,“ You may find the book I recommended helpful．” Or,“You could be right, but you might find this point of view also interesting．” When making comments in students' performances, the professor usually said：” It might have been much clearer if you had taken in some of the ideas we discussed earlier this semester．”‎ ‎ In China, authorities are always supposed to give wise decisions and correct directions．Therefore students always expect the professor to give an answer to the question．I still remember how annoyed they were when foreign teachers did not provide such an answer．Their expectations from authorities are much higher than those of American students．Once the Chinese students got the answer, they were sure about it．That is why they make far more certain statement than American students．That is why Chinese students find it difficult to use modal verbs because the function of modal verbs is to provide room for negotiation and different ideas．‎ ‎ 28. The American professors use many modal verbs because they want to______. ‎ ‎ A. argue with their students ‎ B. be more sure about their answers ‎ ‎ C. express their ideas more clearly ‎ ‎ D. develop their students' own way of thinking ‎ ‎29. Which of the following statements best expresses the author's idea? ‎ ‎ A. Chinese professors can always give correct answer to the question. ‎ ‎ B. American professors are not responsible since they don't give students answers. ‎ ‎ C. American education produces aggressive students. ‎ ‎ D. Education in China is not helpful in developing students' creativity. ‎ ‎30. Which of the following methods did the author mainly employ in developing the article? ‎ ‎ A. Comparison and contrast. B. Cause and effect. ‎ ‎ C. Giving examples. D. Description. ‎ ‎31. What is the author's attitude towards education in U.S.? ‎ ‎ A. Positive B. Neutral C. Negative D. Unsure ‎ D ‎ There is a beautiful story I heard once about a child playing with a vase(花瓶) his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned at the sound of her son crying, she saw that his hand was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She tried to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out in pain. But the hand was stuck fast. How would they get it out? The father suggested breaking the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the process. Yet he knew that if all else failed, there would be no other alternative. So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more try. Open your hand and stretch your fingers out straight, like I’m doing, and then pull!” “But Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that, I’ll lose my penny!”‎ The boy had had a coin in his hand all the time and was holding it securely in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t prepared to open his hand and lose the penny. But once he opened his hand, it came out of the vase easily.‎ I used to hold on to things in my life that I thought were so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was becoming the best volleyball player in the state of Wisconsin. One year, when Kristi was working shifts at General Motors, I played in 1,400 games, competing four nights a week and 40 out of 52 weekends. My team won over 1,000 games. Success on the volleyball court, but a huge loss in my relationship with my Kristi.‎ When I finally let go, I looked back at what I had done and was ashamed. Not only did I show my wife she wasn’t the most important thing to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave to that drive to be the best player I could be.‎ ‎32. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. The Beautiful Vase in Your Life ‎ B. The Way of Keeping Balance in Life ‎ C. My Dream of Becoming the Best Volleyball Player ‎ D. Holding On to What Is Important ‎33. The author tells the story about the boy and the vase to show ______.‎ ‎ A. how naughty a little boy can be ‎ B. we need to drop the unimportant things in our life ‎ C. a little boy may do something silly ‎ D. money is not the most important for us ‎34. Why did the boy get his hand stuck in the vase?‎ ‎ A. He had a coin in his hand.‎ ‎ B. He didn’t know how to stretch his fingers.‎ ‎ C. He was afraid to break the vase.‎ ‎ D. His hand was hurt inside the vase.‎ ‎35. What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. The author had his relationship with Kristi improved.‎ ‎ B. The author didn’t regret what he had done.‎ ‎ C. The author still plays volleyball as much as before.‎ ‎ D. Kristi left the author in the end.‎ 第二节 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。‎ How to Deal With Rumors ‎ Rumors (谣言) are the worst. But due to life’s reality of people loving gossip, rumors are bound to happen. 36 So it's best to practice things when the rumor mill comes knocking at your door.‎ ‎ Don’t Be frightened. Sure, easier said than done, right? 37 The truth is that people are waiting to see your reaction. They are waiting to see you sweat. But for real, don’t sweat it! You know very well this is just rumor, so carry yourself confidently as you brush past the petty. Remaining calm, cool and collected is the key to not stirring the pot even more. Trust us.‎ ‎ 38 If you know who started the rumor, don’t be afraid to defend it forcefully for yourself. You may feel personally victimized by Regina George, so naturally your emotions are running high, but the key to positive communication and to fixing the chaos is a calm yet assertive conversation. Tell the person how you feel. Stay true to ‎ who you are, and feel good about standing your ground.‎ ‎ Know you’re in good company. Famous persons deal with rumors all of the time. They either set the record straight via social media or an interview, or most often, they stay under the radar until it blows over. The important thing to remember, in all of this, is it will all become last week’s news. 39 It will blow over and it will get better. Hang in there.‎ ‎ Talk to people you love. Dealing with a rumor is hard to go through alone, especially because you already feel like the world is against you. 40 They would never believe an untrue rumor about you anyway, so why pay any attention to the ones who do? Open up and talk to your family and friends. They will help you get through.‎ A. Go straight to the source of the rumor.‎ B. But, it’s important not to panic when the gossip circles back to you.‎ C. Avoiding rumors altogether is hard to attain.‎ D. Never show your frustration.‎ E. Do you respond to the rumor quickly?‎ F. You just have to get through the storm until people no longer care.‎ G. Find comfort in your family and friends and the people who love you.‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每题1分，满分15分）‎ ‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、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。‎ ‎ Years ago, we celebrated our oldest son’s first birthday by holding a super party.

By the age of 19, Steve was a star baseball player at the University of Minnesota. I wanted to be exactly like him. So when Steve ‎ asked me to go with him on a spring fishing trip in northern Minnesota, I was excited!‎ After planning the trip, we gathered clothes and supplies, and began our great adventure. We reached the Superior National Forest in northern Minnesota by early evening. On our way to the campsite, Steve pointed to a small house faraway in one of the mountains, saying that it was the ranger station (护林站) where the forester worked.‎ Finally, after a long walk, we reached the campsite and set up the camp as the sun was setting. Steve knew all the tricks of an experienced wilderness camper. After we gathered enough wood from the forest, he started the campfire using only stone and steel — no matches. For supper we feasted on freeze-dried beef, wild rice and pea soup. I ate greedily after all that work.‎ Tired enough, we climbed into our sleeping bags early and talked about our plans for fishing the next day. We were still talking quietly when a sudden north wind picked up; the temperature dropped and it began to snow. Steve found a way to increase the temperature inside the tent. He dragged a log (原木) from the forest to the opposite side of the campfire. Then he wrapped aluminum foil (铝箔) around the log. The heat from the fire reflected off the foil and into the tent. Soon images of lake fish were filling my dreams.‎ The snow had stopped, but sometime later a powerful wind must have kicked up the flames of our dying fire. I was abruptly awakened by Steve. Our tent was on fire. Frightened, I ran out of the tent immediately. The tent collapsed (倒塌) with Steve inside. Without any thought of endangering myself, I reached into the burning tent and pulled him to the icy lake. Fortunately, we were not seriously hurt.‎ 注意:‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 至少使用5个短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.                                        ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.                                                                 ‎ ‎ ‎ 嘉积中学2019—2020学年度第一学期高三期中考试 英语科答题卡 选择题选项 ‎1-----35 ABCD选项 ‎36----40 ABCDEFG选项 ‎41----55 ABCD选项 第二节 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ ‎56.__________ 57._________ 58._________ 59._________ 60._________‎ ‎61.__________ 62._________ 63._________ 64._________ 65._________‎ 第四部分 书面表达（满分40分）‎ 第一节 应用文写作（15分）‎ Dear Tom,‎ I’m delighted to tell you something about________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎____________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua 第二节 读后续写：‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ ‎ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest.                                       ‎ ‎                                                                                                                                                            ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ ‎                                                                                ‎ 高三上学期期中考试参考答案 听 力 1--5 BBACB 6--10 CBBCA 11--15 CACAB 16---20 ACACB 阅读理解 21--23 CAD 24--27 DCBD 28--31 DDAB 32--35 DBAA ‎ 七选五 39--40 CBAFG 完形填空： 41--45 BCCBD 46--50 CDBBA 51--55 CDBAA 语法填空 56. yourself 57. to 58. whatever / what 59. embarrassed 60. exchanging ‎61. an 62. competitions 63.

We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next. The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest.‎ Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared. A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check.
