They are smart. They know how to steal. They know how to find food. They know how to intimidate(恐吓) . Who are they? They are macaque monkeys. They have taken over the old city of Lopburi in Thailand. About 8,400 of them are in the center of the city. They roam(漫游) neighborhoods in groups. Dozens of businesses in Lopburi are closing. They include a music school, a gold shop, a barber, a cellphone store and a movie theatre. The Buddhist culture believes reducing the number of monkeys would disturb spiritual well-being.
The monkeys were not always such a hazard. They attracted tourists. Buddhists thought feeding them was a good deed. Now times have changed. Recently, the coronavirus made things worse. There are fewer tourists, which means that travelers give less food to the monkeys. Over the years, the monkeys moved into empty buildings. They trashed whatever they came across. They ripped(扯掉) antennas and windshield wipers off parked cars. What happens when monkeys come into contact with humans? An observer said that years ago the monkeys were fewer, bigger and healthier. Their fur was shiny and thick. They kept to the temples，as well as the ruins of the ancient Khmer civilization.
Then tourists came with easy and unhealthy food. Along with bananas and citrus(柑橘), the macaques feasted on junk food. An observer said, “The monkeys are never hungry. They are just like children who eat too much KFC. ” Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald. With so much food available，they have more time to breed and to give birth. Their population has exploded. “These monkeys were here before us,” a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged(拽) his trousers demanding a treat. “We have to adapt to them，not the other way around. ”
4. Why are macaque monkeys so popular in Lopburi in Thailand?
A. Because they are smart and know how to steal.
B. Because they have taken over the old city of Lopburi in Thailand.
C. Because they are symbols of spiritual well-being in the Buddhist culture.
D. Because 8,400 of them are in the centre of the city and roam everywhere.
5. In what way has tourism influenced the macaque monkeys?
A. The monkeys are bigger and healthier.
B. The monkeys like eating KFC food.
C. The monkeys have suffered from more diseases.
D. The monkeys are subject to birth control.
6. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Monkeys. B. Tourists.
C. Buddhists. D. Children.
7. It can be inferred from what the man said that ________.
A. monkeys are ancestors, so humans should adapt to monkeys
B. humans should regard monkeys with awe and respect
C. monkeys should be forced to follow rules
D. humans should give monkeys whatever they want
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald.(与生活在森林中的猴子相比，生活在城市里的猴子肌肉少，患有更多的高血压和血液方面的疾病。它们的皮毛稀稀疏疏，甚至秃毛)”可知，旅游业给它们带来了很多疾病。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文中“Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald.(与生活在森林中的猴子相比，生活在城市里的猴子肌肉少，患有更多的高血压和血液方面的疾病。它们的皮毛稀稀疏疏，甚至秃毛)”可知，此处表示生活在城市的猴子与生活在树林里的猴子进行对比。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These monkeys were here before us, a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged his trousers demanding a treat. We have to adapt to them，not the other way around.(猴子先于人类生存在此地，我们人类应该努力去适应猴子，适应自然，而不是让猴子或自然来适应人类)”可知，此处表示人类应该敬畏尊重自然。故选B项。

Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.
8. Why did the host mother ask the author to go out?
A. She wanted to take a picture of him.
B. She wanted to take a walk with him.
C. She wanted to tell him something important.
D. She wanted him to see the northern lights.
9. The author forgot to take pictures after going out because ______.
A. the host mother didn’t remind him to take the camera
B. he was shocked by the wonderful sight
C. the lights flickering in the sky disappeared too soon
D. he lost all feeling in his hands and feet
10. When is the best time to see the northern lights?
A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.
C. When they are between the north and south.
D. When they rise in the east part of the sky.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. Ways to take good pictures.
B. The relationship between the sun and the northern lights.
C. The colors of the northern lights.
D. The time of the best northern lights.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文。作者出生在乡下，对大自然有浓厚的兴趣。他利用大二出国学习的机会去了解加拿大，因为他想观看那里美丽的现象。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.”房东妈妈让作者立刻到外面去并带上照相机以及下文对northern lights的描述可知房东妈妈叫作者到外面去的目的是观看北极光。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句 “ I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open”推断作者为观看到的景象所震惊，所以忘了照相。故选B。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。从第五段第三句“After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen.”可知，当北极光位于北部和南部中间时最佳观看时间，故选C项。
【11题详解】
段落大意题。根据最后一段第一句主题句 “ The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky”可知，本段主要介绍了太阳和北极光的关系。故选B。

Even as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.
“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.
In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.
12. According to Chris Urmson, __________.
A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
B. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
C. software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
D. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
13. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.
A. many traffic accidents are caused by human error
B. some people can’t drive because of illness or age
C. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the future
D. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams
14. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by__________.
A. given B. claimed
C. awarded D. prohibited
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?
A. Objective. B. Indifferent.
C. Subjective. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为科技说明文。文章主要向我们描述了Google开发的自动驾驶汽车，它使用控制软件和感应器让汽车能从较远的距离感应到物体的移动，还能控制车速以确保交通安全．并且这种新型汽车已经通过了考验，未来很快就将被投入使用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段"The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel，accelerator（油门）or brake pedal．"Our software and sensors do all the work，"Urmson said"Urmson认为他们的软件和传感器做了所有的工作，可知自动驾驶汽车的软件和传感器是至关重要的；故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的内容：从长远来看，厄姆森认为未来道路会更加安全，交通堵塞也更少。大多数汽车事故都是由人为失误造成的，而自动驾驶汽车没有人，氢会更安全。自动驾驶汽车也可以输送因年龄或疾病而无法驾驶的人。由此可判断出自动驾驶汽车可能有助于道路更安全和减少交通堵塞。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
【14题详解】
猜测词义题。根据最后一段可知，有6个公司可经营这种车，自驾车今年夏天将于城市街道测试，届时车将配备可移动的方向盘、加速器和制动踏板，以便“安全驾驶员”在需要时进行控制。由此可判断出这6家公司已得到许可，即国家 “给出许可”。由此可判断出划线的单词“issued”与A“given”一致，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中所用的词，如第一段中使用“according to a study by an industry research firm….”第二段中的“said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project…”第五段中“Google has said…”等词，这此观点都不是直接提出 ，可知，文章作者只是列举事实。由此可判断出作者对此的态度是客观的。故选A。
【点睛】高考阅读试题设计到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。如本文第4小题就属于用词风格来推断作者的态度。根据章中所用的词，如第一段中使用“according to a study by an industry research firm….”第二段中的“said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project…”第五段中“Google has said…”等词，可知，文章作者在文章中没有直接给出，只是列举事实。由此可判断出作者对此的态度是客观的。故选A。

Stop comparing yourself with others.(停止把自己和别人进行比较。)可以作为本段中心句，故选F项。
【18题详解】

结合上文Put into words why you feel unworthy, why you don't feel good enough. Now, read these words back to yourself.(用语言来解释为什么你觉得自己不值得，为什么你觉得自己不够好。现在，自己读一下这些话。)和下文的Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《孤独星球》的创始人Tony Wheeler和Maureen Wheeler给《孤独星球》系列图书命名的经过，以及他们想要传达的理念。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：1972年，《孤独星球》的创始人Tony Wheeler和Maureen Wheeler完成了从伦敦到澳大利亚的改变人生的旅程，并将其中的一部分写了一本小册子：廉价穿越亚洲。根据时间状语By 1972可知应用过去完成时。故填had completed。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当他们坐在一家意大利餐厅品尝几杯葡萄酒时，他们试图为他们的新出版公司想出一个名字。restaurant为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且Italian是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：当他们坐在一家意大利餐厅品尝几杯葡萄酒时，他们试图为他们的新出版公司想出一个名字。修饰后文名词company应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“有一次，当我穿越天空时，” Tony重复着乔·科克唱的《太空队长》的歌词说，“这个孤独的星球吸引了我的眼球。” 分析句子结构可知repeat在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语Tony构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语。故填repeating。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：正确的词其实是“可爱的星球”，但不知何故却记成了“孤独的星球”。结合前后文语境可知，下文与上文表示转折，应用连词but。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们嬉皮时代的名字听起来一定比现在更合适，如果你对旅行的热情克制，避免与他人混在一起的话。根据后文“than it does right now”可知，这里应该用形容词的比较级more suitable。故填more suitable。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：我们嬉皮时代的名字听起来一定比现在更合适，如果你对旅行的热情克制，避免与他人混在一起的话。根据后文“you avoid”可知应用一般现在时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为your passion for travel，谓语动词用单数。故填is contained。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：我很高兴我们可以为你提供一些急需的精神逃避：让你在我们希望你不久将再次亲自遇到的地方和人之间穿梭。place为可数名词，结合语境可知数量大于一应用复数形式。故填places。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：在结束我的演讲之前，请允许我向我快乐而富有创造力的团队表示感谢，这些年来，我一直很欣赏他们的幽默和冒险精神。结合句意表示“向某人说……”可知短语为say something to sb.。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在结束我的演讲之前，请允许我向我快乐而富有创造力的团队表示感谢，这些年来，我一直很欣赏他们的幽默和冒险精神。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词creative team，先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。故填whose。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man’s pocket.
His neighbor happened to be looking out of the window. He saw the piece of paper fall, and he thought: “What a disgrace! That guy let that fall out of his pocket on purpose. He’s trying to mess up the front of my house!” But instead of going out and communicating with him, the neighbor planned his revenge( 报 复 ). That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man’s house. The first man also happened to be looking out of the window, and saw what happened. Later, when he was picking up the paper which had been dumped near his door, he found the important piece of paper that he had lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbor had not only picked his pocket, but had the cheek to（厚着脸皮）mess up his doorway with rubbish.
He didn’t want to say anything. Instead, he started planning his revenge. That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbor’s house.
Of course, the next day, his neighbor had quite a bit of trouble trying to get rid of so many animals and their noises. Sure that this had been an evil trick pulled by his neighbor, the second man again started planning his revenge immediately he got rid of the pigs and ducks.
And so it went on.
They continued trying to get back at each other, and each time their acts of revenge got bigger and more stupid. The dropping of that single piece of paper ended up causing a fire siren(警报), the driving of a truck into a garden fence, the throwing of stones at windows, and finally the dropping of a bomb which destroyed both men’s houses.
注意：1. 续写的词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按下列格式作答。
Both ended up in a hospital, and had to share a room there.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They talked and became friends in the end.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Both ended up in a hospital, and had to share a room there. Their hearts sank as they were carried in. They had no choice but to stay in bed, refusing to communicate. However, one day, tired of silence and boredom, the two neighbors got to talking. Their chats varied considerably in content, and they finally discussed the piece of paper incident. They realized that it had been a misunderstanding and that if they had talked to each other on the first occasion, instead of jumping to conclusions about bad intentions, none of these would have happened. At this point, they wanted nothing more than their own houses to live in.
They talked and became friends in the end. Both learned an essential lesson that it is timely communication rather than evil revenge that is the best way to avoid trouble and misunderstanding. What had happened did inspire them greatly to recover from their wounds and reflect on their own behaviour. Therefore, they made up their mind to rebuild their houses by working together. They hoped with their joint efforts they could create a more friendly and harmonious neighbourhood.

They are smart. They know how to steal. They know how to find food. They know how to intimidate(恐吓) . Who are they? They are macaque monkeys. They have taken over the old city of Lopburi in Thailand. About 8,400 of them are in the center of the city. They roam(漫游) neighborhoods in groups. Dozens of businesses in Lopburi are closing. They include a music school, a gold shop, a barber, a cellphone store and a movie theatre. The Buddhist culture believes reducing the number of monkeys would disturb spiritual well-being.
The monkeys were not always such a hazard. They attracted tourists. Buddhists thought feeding them was a good deed. Now times have changed. Recently, the coronavirus made things worse. There are fewer tourists, which means that travelers give less food to the monkeys. Over the years, the monkeys moved into empty buildings. They trashed whatever they came across. They ripped(扯掉) antennas and windshield wipers off parked cars. What happens when monkeys come into contact with humans? An observer said that years ago the monkeys were fewer, bigger and healthier. Their fur was shiny and thick. They kept to the temples，as well as the ruins of the ancient Khmer civilization.
Then tourists came with easy and unhealthy food. Along with bananas and citrus(柑橘), the macaques feasted on junk food. An observer said, “The monkeys are never hungry. They are just like children who eat too much KFC. ” Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald. With so much food available，they have more time to breed and to give birth. Their population has exploded. “These monkeys were here before us,” a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged(拽) his trousers demanding a treat. “We have to adapt to them，not the other way around. ”
4. Why are macaque monkeys so popular in Lopburi in Thailand?
A. Because they are smart and know how to steal.
B. Because they have taken over the old city of Lopburi in Thailand.
C. Because they are symbols of spiritual well-being in the Buddhist culture.
D. Because 8,400 of them are in the centre of the city and roam everywhere.
5. In what way has tourism influenced the macaque monkeys?
A. The monkeys are bigger and healthier.
B. The monkeys like eating KFC food.
C. The monkeys have suffered from more diseases.
D. The monkeys are subject to birth control.
6. What does the underlined word “counterparts” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. Monkeys. B. Tourists.
C. Buddhists. D. Children.
7. It can be inferred from what the man said that ________.
A. monkeys are ancestors, so humans should adapt to monkeys
B. humans should regard monkeys with awe and respect
C. monkeys should be forced to follow rules
D. humans should give monkeys whatever they want
【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。通过说明猴子的生活近况来反映出人们要敬畏尊重自然。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The Buddhist culture believes reducing the number of monkeys would disturb spiritual well-being.(佛教文化认为减少猴子的数量会扰乱精神健康)”可知，佛教文化认为减少猴子数量会破坏人类精神健康。这是最根本的原因。故选C项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald.(与生活在森林中的猴子相比，生活在城市里的猴子肌肉少，患有更多的高血压和血液方面的疾病。它们的皮毛稀稀疏疏，甚至秃毛)”可知，旅游业给它们带来了很多疾病。故选C项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文中“Compared with the monkeys of the forest, their urban counterparts have less muscle. They have more hypertension and blood disease. Their fur has thinned. Some have gone bald.(与生活在森林中的猴子相比，生活在城市里的猴子肌肉少，患有更多的高血压和血液方面的疾病。它们的皮毛稀稀疏疏，甚至秃毛)”可知，此处表示生活在城市的猴子与生活在树林里的猴子进行对比。故选A项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“These monkeys were here before us, a man said. A juvenile macaque tugged his trousers demanding a treat. We have to adapt to them，not the other way around.(猴子先于人类生存在此地，我们人类应该努力去适应猴子，适应自然，而不是让猴子或自然来适应人类)”可知，此处表示人类应该敬畏尊重自然。故选B项。

Since I was born and brought up in a rural town, I have a great interest in nature. Using the chance of studying abroad in my second year at college, I decided to go to Canada just because I wanted to see the beautiful phenomena there So after I finished the study program, I went to Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories.
I clearly remember the sixth night in Yellowknife. Suddenly my host mother came to my room around 8 p.m. and told me to change clothes and go outside quickly carrying her camera.
The northern lights were flickering (闪烁) in the sky! I was shocked and just stood there with my mouth open. I forgot to take pictures of the mysterious lights.
Since that night, whenever it was sunny, I went outside at night and looked at the sky. It was so cold that I lost all feeling in my hands and feet.
As I took pictures of the northern lights, I came to find a characteristic movement of the lights. They first appear in the north part of the sky and then they gradually come down to the south part of the sky. After that, suddenly, they come in the middle of the north and south only for a while, which is the time when the best northern lights can be seen. Since it is only a few seconds for the northern lights to come down to the middle of the sky, it is very hard to get good pictures.
The stronger the sun acts, the better and stronger the northern lights flicker in the sky. That’s because they come about from the collisions (碰撞) between atmospheric gases and the solar wind. Much more solar wind comes to the earth when the sun is active, which leads to the best northern lights. And the colors of the northern lights depend on the height of the collisions and the kinds of gases.

A. When they appear in the north part of the sky.
B. When they come down to the south part of the sky.

Even as Google plans to test its fleet (车队) of self-driving cars on public roads this summer, its business model remains a bit of a mystery. By 2025, as many as 250,000 self-driving vehicles could be sold each year globally, according to a study by an industry research firm.
“Vehicles that can take anyone from A to B at the push of a button could transform mobility for millions of people,” said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project. For now, Google has no plans to sell any of its self-driving cars. They are strictly for research. But they will hit public roads this summer near Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, California. Previous testing has taken place only on closed courses.
The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel, accelerator (油门) or brake pedal. “Our software and sensors do all the work,” Urmson said. “The vehicles will be very basic — we want to learn from them and adapt them as quickly as possible — but they will take you where you want to go at the push of a button.” The prototype (雏形) is the first of a 100-car fleet the tech giant is building.
In the long run, Urmson sees a future of safer roads — the majority of auto accidents are caused by human error — and fewer traffic jams. Robotic cars could also shuttle people who can’t drive because of age or illness.
Google has said that self-driving cars could launch new business models in which people buy the use of vehicles they don’t own. The company has already tested other types of self-driving cars on public streets, including modified Lexus sport-utility vehicles, under a special permit program by the California Department of Motor Vehicles that requires a human driver at the controls.
The state has issued six other companies permits to operate such cars, including Delphi, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, Tesla, Bosch and Nissan. The vehicles that will be tested on open roads this summer will have removable steering wheels, accelerators and brake pedals to allow “safety drivers” to take control if needed.
12. According to Chris Urmson, __________.
A. self-driving cars can give driving orders to humans
B. self-driving cars are specially designed for the elderly
C. software and sensors are vital for self-driving cars
D. ordinary vehicles will be replaced by self-driving cars
13. Paragraph 4 is meant to tell us that __________.
A. many traffic accidents are caused by human error
B. some people can’t drive because of illness or age
C. Urmson has promised to create safer roads in the future
D. self-driving cars will probably help to make safer roads and decrease traffic jams
14. The underlined word “issued” in the last paragraph can probably be replaced by__________.
A. given B. claimed
C. awarded D. prohibited
15. What’s the author’s attitude towards self-driving cars?
A. Objective. B. Indifferent.
C. Subjective. D. Favorable.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. A
【解析】
【分析】本文为科技说明文。文章主要向我们描述了Google开发的自动驾驶汽车，它使用控制软件和感应器让汽车能从较远的距离感应到物体的移动，还能控制车速以确保交通安全．并且这种新型汽车已经通过了考验，未来很快就将被投入使用。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段"The cars are built to operate without a steering wheel，accelerator（油门）or brake pedal．"Our software and sensors do all the work，"Urmson said"Urmson认为他们的软件和传感器做了所有的工作，可知自动驾驶汽车的软件和传感器是至关重要的；故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段的内容：从长远来看，厄姆森认为未来道路会更加安全，交通堵塞也更少。大多数汽车事故都是由人为失误造成的，而自动驾驶汽车没有人，氢会更安全。自动驾驶汽车也可以输送因年龄或疾病而无法驾驶的人。由此可判断出自动驾驶汽车可能有助于道路更安全和减少交通堵塞。分析选项可知D项符合题意，故选D。
【14题详解】
猜测词义题。根据最后一段可知，有6个公司可经营这种车，自驾车今年夏天将于城市街道测试，届时车将配备可移动的方向盘、加速器和制动踏板，以便“安全驾驶员”在需要时进行控制。由此可判断出这6家公司已得到许可，即国家 “给出许可”。由此可判断出划线的单词“issued”与A“given”一致，故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章中所用的词，如第一段中使用“according to a study by an industry research firm….”第二段中的“said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project…”第五段中“Google has said…”等词，这此观点都不是直接提出 ，可知，文章作者只是列举事实。由此可判断出作者对此的态度是客观的。故选A。
【点睛】高考阅读试题设计到各类文章，而以议论文为主，文章的主题句、核心句往往会直接或间接地表明作者的态度立场；阅读理解中也有说明文、描述文。前者因为其体裁的客观性，所以作者的态度也往往采取中立。而后者因为其文章观点往往不直接提出，而且作者写作时也常带有某种倾向性，所以，阅读时要善于根据文章的文体来学会推断作者的情感态度和目的。如本文第4小题就属于用词风格来推断作者的态度。根据章中所用的词，如第一段中使用“according to a study by an industry research firm….”第二段中的“said Chris Urmson, director of Google’s self-driving car project…”第五段中“Google has said…”等词，可知，文章作者在文章中没有直接给出，只是列举事实。由此可判断出作者对此的态度是客观的。故选A。

Now, read these words back to yourself. ___20___ Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements. See how awesome you are?

【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了《孤独星球》的创始人Tony Wheeler和Maureen Wheeler给《孤独星球》系列图书命名的经过，以及他们想要传达的理念。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：1972年，《孤独星球》的创始人Tony Wheeler和Maureen Wheeler完成了从伦敦到澳大利亚的改变人生的旅程，并将其中的一部分写了一本小册子：廉价穿越亚洲。根据时间状语By 1972可知应用过去完成时。故填had completed。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：当他们坐在一家意大利餐厅品尝几杯葡萄酒时，他们试图为他们的新出版公司想出一个名字。restaurant为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且Italian是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。
【38题详解】
考查代词。句意：当他们坐在一家意大利餐厅品尝几杯葡萄酒时，他们试图为他们的新出版公司想出一个名字。修饰后文名词company应用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：“有一次，当我穿越天空时，” Tony重复着乔·科克唱的《太空队长》的歌词说，“这个孤独的星球吸引了我的眼球。” 分析句子结构可知repeat在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语Tony构成主动关系，故应用现在分词作状语。故填repeating。
【40题详解】
考查连词。句意：正确的词其实是“可爱的星球”，但不知何故却记成了“孤独的星球”。结合前后文语境可知，下文与上文表示转折，应用连词but。故填but。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：我们嬉皮时代的名字听起来一定比现在更合适，如果你对旅行的热情克制，避免与他人混在一起的话。根据后文“than it does right now”可知，这里应该用形容词的比较级more suitable。故填more suitable。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：我们嬉皮时代的名字听起来一定比现在更合适，如果你对旅行的热情克制，避免与他人混在一起的话。根据后文“you avoid”可知应用一般现在时，主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为your passion for travel，谓语动词用单数。故填is contained。
【43题详解】
考查名词的数。句意：我很高兴我们可以为你提供一些急需的精神逃避：让你在我们希望你不久将再次亲自遇到的地方和人之间穿梭。place为可数名词，结合语境可知数量大于一应用复数形式。故填places。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意：在结束我的演讲之前，请允许我向我快乐而富有创造力的团队表示感谢，这些年来，我一直很欣赏他们的幽默和冒险精神。结合句意表示“向某人说……”可知短语为say something to sb.。故填to。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在结束我的演讲之前，请允许我向我快乐而富有创造力的团队表示感谢，这些年来，我一直很欣赏他们的幽默和冒险精神。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词creative team，先行词在从句中作定语，故应用关系代词whose。故填whose。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写成两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was once a man who went out to look for a job. As he was passing his neighbor’s house, an important piece of paper fell out of the man’s pocket.
His neighbor happened to be looking out of the window. He saw the piece of paper fall, and he thought: “What a disgrace! That guy let that fall out of his pocket on purpose. He’s trying to mess up the front of my house!” But instead of going out and communicating with him, the neighbor planned his revenge( 报 复 ). That night, he took his waste-paper basket and went to the man’s house. The first man also happened to be looking out of the window, and saw what happened. Later, when he was picking up the paper which had been dumped near his door, he found the important piece of paper that he had lost. It was torn into dozens of pieces. He thought that his neighbor had not only picked his pocket, but had the cheek to（厚着脸皮）mess up his doorway with rubbish.
He didn’t want to say anything. Instead, he started planning his revenge. That night he phoned a farmer to make an order of ten pigs and a hundred ducks. He asked that they be delivered to his neighbor’s house.
Of course, the next day, his neighbor had quite a bit of trouble trying to get rid of so many animals and their noises. Sure that this had been an evil trick pulled by his neighbor, the second man again started planning his revenge immediately he got rid of the pigs and ducks.
And so it went on.
They continued trying to get back at each other, and each time their acts of revenge got bigger and more stupid.

【答案】One possible version
Both ended up in a hospital, and had to share a room there. Their hearts sank as they were carried in. They had no choice but to stay in bed, refusing to communicate. However, one day, tired of silence and boredom, the two neighbors got to talking. Their chats varied considerably in content, and they finally discussed the piece of paper incident. They realized that it had been a misunderstanding and that if they had talked to each other on the first occasion, instead of jumping to conclusions about bad intentions, none of these would have happened. At this point, they wanted nothing more than their own houses to live in.
They talked and became friends in the end. Both learned an essential lesson that it is timely communication rather than evil revenge that is the best way to avoid trouble and misunderstanding. What had happened did inspire them greatly to recover from their wounds and reflect on their own behaviour. Therefore, they made up their mind to rebuild their houses by working together. They hoped with their joint efforts they could create a more friendly and harmonious neighbourhood.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个男人的一张重要文件不小心掉在邻居门口，恰好被邻居看见，误以为那个男人故意在他家门口扔垃圾，进而实行报复，那个男人也对其行为以牙还牙，就这样你来我往，最后报复行为越来越离谱，导致两人都受伤住进医院，并且住在同一个病房，最终通过交流化解误会的故事。
