‎2018-2019学年度第二学期高二月考 英语试卷 ‎ 命题人：王跃生 ‎ 本试卷分为第I卷（选择题）和第II卷（非选择题）两部分, 共150分。考试时间120分钟。‎ 第I卷 （共100分）‎ 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分60分）‎ 第一节 ‎（共15小题，每小题3分，满分45分）‎ A A new app aims to help parents interpret what their baby wants based on the sound of their cry. The free app ChatterBaby, which was released last month, analyzes the acoustic (声学的) features of a baby’s cry, to help parents understand whether their child might be hungry, fussy or in pain. While critics say caregivers should not rely too much on their smartphone, others say it’s a helpful tool for new or tired parents.‎ Ariana Anderson, a mother of four, developed the app. She originally designed the technology to help deaf parents better understand why their baby was upset, but soon realized it could be a helpful tool for all new parents.‎ To build a database, Anderson and her team uploaded 2,000 audio samples of infant(婴儿) cries. She used cries recorded during ear piercings and vaccinations to distinguish pain cries. And to create a baseline for the other two categories, a group of moms had to agree on whether the cry was either hungry or fussy.‎ Anderson’s team continues to collect data and hopes to make the app more accurate by asking parents to get specific about what certain sounds mean.‎ Pediatrician Eric Ball pointed out that evaluating cries can never be an exact science. “I think that all of the apps and technology that new parents are using now can be helpful but need to be taken seriously,” Ball said ,“ I do worry that some parents will get stuck in big data and turn their parenting into basically a spreadsheet(电子表格) which I think will take away the love and caring that parents are supposed to be providing for the children. ”‎ But Anderson said the aim of the app is to have parents interpret the results, not to provide a yes or no answer. The Bells, a couple using this app, say it’s a win-win. They believe they are not only helping their baby now but potentially others in the future.‎ ‎1．How does the app judge what babies want?‎ A．By collecting data. B．By recording all the sounds.‎ C．By analyzing the sound of their cries. D．By asking parents about specific messages.‎ ‎2．What was the app designed for in the beginning?‎ A．All new parents. B．Deaf parents.‎ C．Ariana Anderson. D．Crying babies.‎ ‎3．What is Ball’s opinion about the app?‎ A．Parents should use the app wisely.‎ B．The app can create an accurate result.‎ C．Parents and babies are addicted to the app.‎ D．The app makes babies lose love and caring.‎ ‎4．What is the text mainly about?‎ A．Parents should not rely too much on their smartphones.‎ B．A new app helps parents figure out why their babies are crying.‎ C．Parents can deal with babies’ hunger with the help of a new app.‎ D．A new app called ChatterBaby can prevent babies from crying.‎ B Many people spend more than four hours per day on We Chat, and it is redefining the word “friend.” Does friending someone on social media make him or her your friend in real life?‎ Robin Dunbar, a professor at Oxford University, found that only 15, of the 150 Facebook friends the average user has, could be counted as actual friends and only five as close friends. We Chat may show a similar pattern.‎ Those with whom you attended a course together, applied for the same part-time job, went to a party and intended to cooperate but failed take up most of your WeChat friends. In chat records, the only message may be a system notice, “You have accepted somebody’s friend request”. Sometimes when seeing some photos shared on ‎ “Moments”, you even need several minutes to think about when you became friends. Also, you may be disturbed by mass messages (群发信息) sent from your unfamiliar “friends”, including requests for voting for their children or friends, links from Pinduoduo.com (a Chinese e-commerce platform that allows users to buy items at lower prices if they purchase in groups) and cookie-cutter (千篇一律的) blessings in holidays.‎ You would have thought about deleting this type of “friends” and sort out your connections. But actually you did not do that as you were taught that social networking is valuable to one’s success. Besides, it would be really awkward if they found that you have unfriended them already. Then, you keep increasing your “friends” in social media and click “like” on some pictures that you are not really interested. But the fact is that deep emotional connections do not come with the increasing number of your friends in social media.‎ If the number of your friends reaches 150, maintaining these relationships can be tough to you, and sometimes even will make you anxious. According to Robin Dunbar, 150 is the limit of the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships.‎ ‎5．What can we learn from Robin Dunbar's finding in Paragraph 2?‎ A．A Facebook user has 250 friends on average.‎ B．Most of the social media friends can be actual friends.‎ C．Among our social media friends, only a few people matter.‎ D．Only 15 people of a person’s Facebook friends can be close friends.‎ ‎6．What does the third paragraph tell us about most of your WeChat friends?‎ A．You have deep communication with them.‎ B．You benefit a lot from their mass messages.‎ C．You just have a nodding acquaintance with them.‎ D．You become friends with them in important occasions.‎ ‎7．What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 4 refer to?‎ A．Removing unfamiliar friends in WeChat.‎ B．Strengthening ties with your We Chat friends.‎ C．Keeping increasing your friends in social media.‎ D．Clicking “like” on pictures posted by your friends.‎ ‎8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?‎ A．We will be anxious if we make friends online.‎ B．We should avoid making any friends in social media.‎ C．We should make as many friends as possible in social media.‎ D．We have difficulty managing relationships with over 150 people.‎ C Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK's first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?‎ One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £ 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK's first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn't all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster internet access, with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.‎ The wider application is to support connected equipment on the "internet of things" -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.‎ Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.‎ Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.‎ ‎9．Why does Prof William Webb say "the technology could be a case of the emperor's new clothes" ?‎ A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.‎ B．5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.‎ C．5G helps people communicate better with each other.‎ D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.‎ ‎10．The underlined word "addressing" in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to________‎ A．making a speech to B．trying to solve C．managing to decrease D．responding to ‎11．The last paragraph indicates that A．it'll take several years .to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B．5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market C．customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G ones D．it's probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain D Zebra crossings (斑马线) — the alternating dark and light stripes on the road surface — are meant to remind drivers that pedestrians may be trying to get across. Unfortunately, they are not very effective. A 1998 study done by the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering at Sweden’s Lund University showed that three out of four drivers kept the same speed or even speeded up as they were approaching a crossing. Even worse? Only 5% stopped even when they saw someone trying to get across.‎ Now a mother-daughter team in Ahmedabad, India has come up with a clever way ‎ to get drivers to pay more attention — a 3D zebra crossing with an optical illusion (视错觉). Artists Saumya Pandya Thakkar and Shakuntala Pandya were asked to paint the crosswalks by IL&FS, an Indian company that manages the highways in Ahmedabad. The corporation was looking for a creative solution to help the city’s residents to cross the busy accident-prone (易出事故的) roads safely. Thakkar and Pandya, who had previously seen images of 3D zebra crossings that gave drivers the illusion of logs of wood on the streets in Taizhou， China, decided to test if a similar way would work in India.‎ Sure enough, in the six months when the 3D crosswalks have been painted across four of the city’s most dangerous highways, there have been no accidents reported! The artists say that while it may appear that the zebra crossing could cause the drivers to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind, such is not the case. Because of the way the human eye works, the illusion is only visible from a distance. As they get closer, the painting looks just like any other ordinary zebra crossing. The creators hope that their smart design will become increasingly common throughout India and perhaps even the world. So let’s look forward to it.‎ ‎12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?‎ A．Most drivers will slow down at zebra crossings.‎ B．Common zebra crossings don’t function well.‎ C．Drivers have to stop when approaching zebra crossings.‎ D．About 95% of the drivers choose to speed up when approaching zebra crossings.‎ ‎13．Why do drivers seeing the 3D zebra crossings slow down according to Para. 2?‎ A．Because the drivers consider the safety of pedestrians.‎ B．Because the drivers mistake them for logs of wood on the streets.‎ C．Because the drivers are afraid of being fined for breaking the traffic rules.‎ D．Because the drivers don’t want to brake suddenly and endanger the vehicles behind.‎ ‎14．The last paragraph is mainly about ________.‎ A．the theory of the 3D zebra crossings B．the popularity of the 3D zebra crossings C．the shortcoming of the 3D zebra crossings D．the positive effect of the 3D zebra crossings ‎15．What is the author’s attitude towards the 3D zebra crossings?‎ A．Cautious. B．Doubtful. C．Approving. D．Disapproving.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。‎ If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you. We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. 16 So challenge the following limits:‎ ‎1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.‎ If you're a salesman, and you're scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you'll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. 17 But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eye and say, “Go on. I'm not scared!”‎ ‎2. 18 ‎ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income.‎ ‎3. Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise.‎ ‎19 A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.‎ ‎4. Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people.‎ Don't just limit yourself to your fellow travelers----try to connect with the service staff. You never know what kind of people they're going to be. Get out of your house ‎ or go online right now to book your class. 20 ‎ A．You should do it continuously.‎ B．Someone may hang up on you.‎ C．You don't need to go to the gym.‎ D．Running in the gym may be a better choice.‎ E. Start to travel now and learn to challenge yourself.‎ F. Take a class for a hobby you've been wanting to develop.‎ G. You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题2分，满分40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。 ‎ ‎ The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.‎ Cathy suffered some terrible 21 in her early childhood.
