2021高考英语冲刺卷08
第一部分　阅读理解(共两节， 满分40分)
第一节(共15小题； 每小题2分， 满分30分)
阅读下列短文， 从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中， 选出最佳选项。
A
There are dozens of movie recommendation engines on the Web. They’re all different, but some are definitely better than others.
Rotten Tomatoes
Instead of telling Rotten Tomatoes which films you like, you can tell it what kind of films you enjoy, which actors you want to see, and other standards to help it find the best movie for you. There’s a lot of variability in the quality of Rotten Tomatoes recommendations but it’s also a nice way to find the right film for any mood.
Netflix
Netflix asks you to rate(划分等级) movies to determine which films you’ll want to see next. And although it does make it easy to rate movies and it does return huge lists, the ideas it gives you aren’t all that strong. It’s easy to use, but it’s not the best way to get movie recommendations.
Jinni
Whether you want to search for films based on your mood, time available, or reviews, the site has it all. But Jinni’s most amazing feature is its semantic(语义的)search. You can enter a term like “films that show Chris Farley yelling” and the site will return films that match your question. Go to use Jinni. You won’t regret it!
Criticker
Instead of just allowing you to rank films, Criticker compares your ratings to those of other users and see how closely your tastes match those of other users. Once the service finds matches, you can view these users’ lists and see which movies they like.
1．Which one does the author recommend most?
A．Rotten Tomatoes.　　　　 B．Netflix.
C．Jinni. D．Criticker.
2．What makes Criticker special?

I realized something this morning. I have been writing now for 34 years. It all started when I was just 18 years old. As a boy I had read literally hundreds of books. I had a thirst for knowledge that seemingly could never fade. Then suddenly I found I had something I wanted to share. I tried to ignore it, but as any writer tells you once the ideas awaken inside of you they won’t leave you alone until you write them down. I didn’t have a computer, word processor, or even a typewriter. Still, I grabbed a pen and lined notebook paper and wrote everything that was burning inside of me.
When I was done I didn’t know how to share it. There was no internet back then, no smart phones, and no social media. I sought out the editor of my local county newspaper and asked him to print what I had written. He was a good man full of both wisdom and kindness. He not only printed my first story but agreed to publish anything else I was willing to write. I continued to write new articles each week and shared them first with other local papers and later online as well. Years later at the urging of my readers I even self­published two collections of my stories in book form.
Through my writing I slowly became more than I was. In my writings I encountered my highest self. In my writings I discovered the goodness and light that lie in us all. In my writings I found great love and joy and encouraged others to choose love and joy as well. I also found that we all are writers whether we put pen to paper or not. With every choice we make, with every thought we hold, and with everything we do, we are writing our own life story.
Lance Wubbels once wrote：“I hope you realize your life is truly your life. It belongs to you. It is your story to write with love. Day by day, line by line, write it well.”
4．As a boy, when the author found he had something to share, ________．
A．he wrote it down
B．he ignored it
C．he shared it on social media
D．he told it to a writer
5．How did the author begin his writing career?
A．He was hired as a newspaper editor.
B．He put his stories online by himself.
C．He self­published two books.
D．He was helped by a local newspaper editor.
6．What does the author think of writing?
A．Writing takes practice and efforts.
B．Writing can benefit oneself and others.
C．Writing helps people tell right from wrong.
D．Only with a pen can one write his life story.
7．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A Way to Be a Writer
B．A Way to Share Ideas
C．Living Is Writing
D．Writing Is the Source of Love

While an entire month free of homework or tests may sound too good to be true, that is exactly what the students at Sturenskolan School in Boden, Sweden were treated to in April. What’s more, if the results of the experiment prove encouraging, starting 2019, the middle schoolers will never have to worry about after－school work or tests, aside from the national examinations, which are compulsive for students across the country.
The school’s principal, Petronella Sirkka, who came up with the idea, said,“We are constantly receiving new reports that our children feel bad. And that’s because they have a high level of stress all the time. This is our way of trying to reduce that stress.”
The educator says that while banning homework and tests sounds radical(激进的), it makes sense given the changes in the curriculum and approaches to education. While in the past students were primarily subjected to memorizing facts, learning today is all about reflection and analysis. As a result, it is often harder for kids, especially those with little support at home, to comprehend the material by themselves.
Sirkka is not the only one who believes after-school work does not help students learn. In March 2018, another principal in Canada also decided to do away with homework. They hope parents will spend the extra time reading to their kids.
While the long－term impact of the recent decisions made by the two educators remains to be seen, the experiment has already proved successful in Finland which has done away with homework, grades, and even teaching by subjects for many years. Yet, Finnish students always rank high in the PISA(Programme for International Student Assessment) tests especially in math and science but they have the least homework! Hopefully, it will only be a matter of time before US educators follow their lead and ban after-school work as well!
8．The students at Sturenskolan School had no homework in April because ________．
A．the headmaster was experimenting with her idea
B．they needed to do some experiments during the month
C．they were busy preparing for the national examinations
D．the headmaster had to carry out the government’s policy
9．What makes children’s learning hard nowadays?
A．Children have to do more analyzing.
B．The approach to education is complex.
C．Children get no support at home and school.
D．There are more facts to memorize.
10．What does Petronella Sirkka most likely advise parents to do?
A．Help children with their homework.
B．Free children from after－school housework.
C．Spend more time reading to their children.
D．Communicate with teachers from time to time.
11．What can we infer about the students in Finland?
A．They study the hardest at school.
B．They have a more relaxing school life.
C．They enjoy great success after graduation.
D．They all have a talent for math and science.

D
A new study has shown how computers and robots powered by artificial intelligence can read human eye movements to “read” human personalities.
The eyes, they say, are the windows to the soul. And if that is true, computers and robots powered by sophisticated(复杂的) artificial intelligence algorithms(演算法) may soon have the ability to peer into your soul. That is the result of a new study on the connection between eye movements and personality, conducted by neuroscience researchers based at the University of South Australia and published in the scientific journal Frontiers in Neuroscience.
“Eye movements during an everyday task predict aspects of our personality,” wrote the researchers, led by University of South Australia neuroscientist Tobias Loetscher, whose team followed 42 study subjects around the university campus recording their eye movements, then determined their personality traits with “well­established questionnaires” for determining the personality type, according to a summary of the study published by the site Science Daily.
The researchers fed the data into their AI algorithms and found that computers running the algorithms were able to record human eye movements and immediately determine a person’s major personality traits, such as “neuroticism, extraversion(外向), agreeableness, conscientiousness, as well as curiosity”， the scientists wrote.
“The new findings could improve the way human beings interact with their computers and other high­tech devices, even robots, allowing for more natural and realistic social interactions with machines，” Loetscher said.
“People are always looking for improved, personalized services. Today’s robots and computers are not socially aware so they cannot adapt to non­verbal information，” Loetscher said in a statement quoted by The Indian Express. This research provides opportunities to develop robots and computers so that they can become more natural, and better at interpreting human social signals.
The study revealed previously undiscovered relations between specific personality characteristics and specific eye movement tendencies, according to a summary in Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper.
12．What do the underlined words “peer into” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．Understand.
B．Stare at.
C．Search for.
D．Concern about.
13．How did the researchers conduct the research?
A．It was carried out in a lab.
B．42 subjects’ eye movements were recorded.
C．The students’ daily movements were tracked.
D．Its subjects’ personalities were determined by computer.
14．What can we know according to Tobias Loetscher?
A．Robots and computers are socially conscious.
B．People care less about improved, personalized services.
C．Today’s robots and computers can accustom to non­verbal information.
D．The discovery will improve the interaction between human beings and machines.
15．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Human Personality Traits
B．What Human Eye Movements Are
C．Tell Personalities by Eye Movements
D．How Humans and Machines Interact

The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. 17.________．

参考范文:
Dear Tony，
I’m glad to learn you’re coming to my school next week as an international exchange student. You are interested in how we typically show respect for our teachers and here is something detailed.
Firstly, it is on September 10th every year that all teachers and students gather in the school hall to celebrate Teachers’ Day, where by tradition Top Ten Teachers of the Year are selected to receive meaningful awards. Student representatives send gifts such as bunches of flowers, postcards to show our sincere gratitude and best wishes to our teachers. What’s more, we greet our teachers respectfully wherever and whenever we meet them. Besides, we often take turns to help clean and tidy the teachers’ offices voluntarily.
I hope you’ll have a wonderful experience in our school.
Yours，
Li Hua
