（22-23高二下·广东惠州·期中）Three years ago, I got the chance to spend a month as a volunteer helping out in a hospital in Africa. I had one month left at high school, and I was interested in studying medicine at university. I thought it was the perfect chance to get some practical experience and to see if I really wanted to be a doctor.
It was a month that changed my life. I was introduced to a new world that is very different to mine in so many ways. I was horrified at how poor so many of the families over there are and how difficult their lives can be. But I was even more amazed at how positively people go about their everyday lives in Africa. The way they come together and help each other is a real inspiration, and something I think a lot of us have forgotten in the United States. I think many of us don’t realize how lucky we are.
My work in the hospital was hard. I spent a lot of time washing floors, cleaning toilets and changing bed sheets. I also got to spend some time looking after the patients. But it was such an honor for me to listen to a patient’s story and communicate with people from so many walks of life. And I also got the chance to talk to some doctors and ask them about the profession. I saw some truly awful things in the hospital, but none of them changed my mind about being a doctor. In fact, they only made me more determined to do medicine.
It has been a great experience volunteering in Africa. When I finish, I know exactly what I’m going to do: I want to work for an international organization like the Red Cross and spend my life helping people who haven’t been as lucky in life as me. I can’t wait to get started.

（22-23高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Imagine cozying up in your bed after a long day. You scroll through your favorite social media apps for what feels like ten minutes, but then you realize hours have passed. You promise yourself just five more minutes — then it’s 3:00 am. You wake up tired the next morning and go to work dizzy but do the same thing again that night. You know you need the rest, but you still stay up and sacrifice sleep to scroll aimlessly on your smartphone.
You are not alone. This phenomenon is called revenge bedtime procrastination (RBP), which is defined by the Sleep Foundation as “the decision to sacrifice sleep for leisure time that is driven by a daily schedule lacking in free time.” In other words, it occurs when people stay up late at night to do things they enjoy, such as scrolling the Internet or watching TV, because they feel they lack the freedom to do these things during the daytime.
How do you know if you’re engaging in RBP Ask yourself these questions: Do you delay going to sleep because you would rather do other things that you enjoy, such as watching TV or YouTube videos or playing video games Do you stay up late to spend time with friends or family Do you miss out on sleep even though you know it’s important and that there are consequences to pay for feeling tired Do you feel deprived of your personal life and free time to simply relax Does your day mostly seem out of your control Do you delay getting projects done, exercising or completing chores
What puts someone at risk for engaging in RBP Being a “night owl” can make people more inclined to stay up late. Dealing with significant daytime stress, especially tied to work, is a big risk factor. Working extended hours or having a long commute are other risks, since these leave little or no time for entertainment or relaxation.
A lack of sleep is tied to many different physical and mental health problems. When revenge bedtime procrastination leads to too little sleep, it can cause negative effects on your well-being, such as: fatigue, reduced motivation and productivity, heightened risk of drowsy driving and accidents, worsened anxiety symptoms, reduced self-regulation, metabolic (新陈代谢) disorders, weight gain, obesity, and even some bacterial infections and viruses.
8．Why do people develop revenge bedtime procrastination
A．They want to find excuses for sleeping late.
B．They strive to fulfil what they ought to do.
C．They hope to effectively resist fatigue and obesity.
D．They seek to make up for what they can’t do during daytime.
9．Which of the following is an example of RBP
A．Eating the tasty chocolate at eight o’clock in the evening.
B．Drinking and chatting with your friends or family at weekends.
C．Delaying sleep time to watch your favourite TV series.
D．Working with colleagues to complete important projects at night.
10．Which of the following is NOT the cause of an increased risk of RBP
A．You are a person who enjoys staying up late at night.
B．You can scroll your phone during subway commuting hours.
C．You have to overcome great pressure associated with work.
D．You are continuously asked to work overtime by your boss.
11．What is the text mainly about
A．A brief introduction to RBP. B．Symptoms related to RBP.
C．Negative effects produced by RBP. D．The risks of engaging in RBP.
（22-23高二下·黑龙江哈尔滨·期中）Microsoft is investing $10 billion in OpenAI, whose artificial intelligence tool ChatGPT has lit up the Internet since its introduction in November, accumulating more than 1 million users within days and touching off a fresh debate over the role of AI in the workplace.
Its ability to provide in-depth answers to user questions has even drawn the attention of distinguished technology companies. The intelligent robot understands what the user says or types and then responds in a way that makes sense. Its vast body of knowledge has been gathered from the Internet and archived(归档)books. This makes ChatGPT a useful tool for researching almost any topic.
“We have a lot of information on the Internet, but you normally have to Google it, then read it and then do something with it,” says Ricardo, chief science officer and co-founder of AI company Erudit. “Now you’ll have this resource that can process the whole Internet and all of the information it contains for you to answer your question.”
ChatGPT cannot think on its own. It depends on the information that it has been trained on. As a result, the AI tool works well for things that have accurate data available. However, when unsure, ChatGPT can get creative and flow out incorrect responses. OpenAI cautions users to check the information no matter how logical it sounds. Also, ChatGPT has only been trained with information till 2021. Hence, it cannot be relied on for anything that happened after that.
Experts believe ChatGPT has limitless potential to solve real-world problems. It can translate long texts into different languages, create content on almost any topic, and even summarize books.
However, ChatGPT has received mixed reactions from educators. Some believe it could serve as a valuable
tool to help build literacy skills in the classroom. It could also be used to teach students difficult science or math concepts. But other educators think ChatGPT will encourage students to cheat. They fear this will prevent them from building critical thinking and problem-solving skills. As a result, many districts are starting to ban its use in schools.
12．ChatGPT is special, because ________.
A．it can think on its own B．it can answer users’ questions
C．it gets involved in meaningful talks D．it has a large number of users
13．What makes ChatGPT helpful to research various topics
A．Its capability of information processing. B．Its accurate information.
C．Its availability of instant responses. D．Its vast body of questions.
14．What can be inferred about ChatGPT from Paragraph 4
A．It shouldn’t be relied on for lack of creativity.
B．Users have to be cautious when using it.
C．We can consult it about anything in the past.
D．All the responses it gives are logical.
15．What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT
A．Favorable. B．Disapproving. C．Objective. D．Intolerant.
（22-23高二下·浙江台州·期中）In Illinois, legislators (立法委员) and advocates of removing the state’s lead (铅) service lines said on Monday that a newly signed law moves the state closer to removing that “toxic infrastructure (基础设施)”and ensuring all Illinoisans have clean water to drink.
State Senator Melinda Bush, a supporter of the legislation, said the lines are a health threat that not only costs us billions of dollars, but poisons our children and destroys our residents’ confidence in their water supply.
“Passing this bill with strong support shows a basic truth about lead in our drinking water—it affects all of us, and every single one of us, especially our children, deserves clean, safe drinking water,” Bush said.
The Lead Service Line Replacement Notification Act creates timelines for owners and operators of community water supplies that have lead service lines to make a list of those lines and create replacement plans. Water suppliers will have to submit their replacement plan to the Environmental Protection Agency by April 2024. The law also requires the state’s Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity to create a low-income water assistance policy and program to ensure state residents have access to affordable, clean water.
Lead in drinking water has long been linked to a host of health problems, including kidney failure, heart disease, learning disabilities and impaired(受损的) hearing. Studies have found that even tiny amounts of lead can
damage children’s brains.
Bush said it’s estimated that Illinois has about an eighth of all known lead service lines in the country.
Service lines are the pipes that carry water from a city’s street mains to homes. Not only does Illinois have one-eighth of the lead service lines in the country, but 300,000 to 500.000 of them are in Chicago.
“Although this is a statewide problem, we know that this toxic infrastructure really affects Illinois’ people,” Bush said.
16．What does the underlined word “toxic” mean in the first paragraph
A．Basic. B．Common. C．Healthy. D．Poisonous.
17．Why must the newly signed law be carried out as soon as possible
A．To warn water suppliers to offer clean water.
B．To test whether the water system works well.
C．To raise the confidence of all the Illinoisans.
D．To make sure residents have safe drinking water.
18．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．The submitted policy must favour the poor families.
B．The residents in Illinois haven’t realized the possible dangers.
C．Water suppliers have submitted a practical replacement plan.
D．The government should inspect community water supplies regularly.
19．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Statewide Lead in Water Is Hurting You
B．Lead in Water Is Damaging Kids’ Brains
C．Getting the Lead Out with the New Technology
D．A New Law Urges to Remove Lead Service Lines
（22-23高二下·浙江台州·期中）Right now you should know about two ways to represent numbers, as Roman numerals and Arabic numerals. Plus, people in other countries use different symbols for numbers. With all these different symbols, how can math be a universal language
Math is a universal language because the principles and foundations of math are the same everywhere around the world. Ten plus ten equals twenty if you write it as Arabic numerals 10+10=20 or Roman numerals X+X=XX. The concept of 20 items is the same no matter where you are in the world.
And, what about geometry(几何) A circle is always a circle and its circumference (周长) is always calculated the same way no matter where you are in the world. The same holds true for any other figure like
triangles, squares or rectangles.
We like to visit other countries to experience new scenery, new foods and a different culture. It’s fun to watch documentaries about festivals that we don’t have in North America. There is a great deal of cultural diversity in the world that we can enjoy and celebrate. But math is one thing that is common to everyone.
Different countries use different units of measurement; for example, the United States and the United Kingdom use inches and feet while the rest of Europe uses metric measurements of centimeters and meters. But no matter what the units are, everyone must measure the house that they are building. Houses everywhere, whether they are square or round, are built using the same mathematical equations(方程式).
The principles of probability are the same everywhere as well. The chance of rain in Guatemala might be greater than the chance of rain in the Sahara Desert but probability works the same way. People around the world have different genes but the probability of passing on genes to their children follows the same mathematical rules.
It is easy to see that no matter how diverse different cultures are, math is one common language across the world.
20．How many ways to stand for numbers are mentioned in the text
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
21．What is the author’s purpose in mentioning geometry in the third paragraph
A．To highlight the importance of math.
B．To study different shapes and forms.
C．To show how to calculate the circumference.
D．To prove math calculation is often used in it is always the same.
22．What does the underlined word“figure”mean in the third paragraph
A．Shape. B．Size. C．Picture. D．Field.
23．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A．Math has no distinct characteristics of diversity.
B．Documentaries about festivals are always fun.
C．People hope to experience different cultures abroad.
D．Culture has a huge impact on the development of math.
（22-23高二下·浙江台州·期中）John Frederick Kensett was born on March 22, 1816 in Cheshire, Connecticut. He attended school at Cheshire Academy, and studied carving with his immigrant father, Tomas Kensett, and later with his uncle. He worked as a carver in the New Haven area until about 1838, after which he went to work as a banknote carver in New York City. He didn’t know his carving experience would benefit him
later. In 1840, Kensett traveled to Europe in order to study painting. He sketched (画素描) and painted throughout Europe, improving his talents. During this period, Kensett developed an affection for the 17th-century Dutch landscape painting. He returned to the United States in 1847.
After establishing his studio and settling in New York, Kensett traveled extensively throughout the Northeast and the Colorado Rockies as well as making several trips back to Europe.
Kensett is best known for his landscape of New York and New England and seascapes (海景画) of coastal New Jersey, Long Island and New England. He is most closely associated with the so-called “second generation” of the Hudson River School. In 1851 Kensett painted a monumental canvas (巨幅油画) of Mount Washington that has become a sign of White Mountain art.
Kensett’s style evolved gradually, from the traditional Hudson River School manner in the 1850s into the more improved Luminist style in his later years. By the early 1870s Kensett was spending considerable time at his home on Contentment Island, on Long Island Sound near Darien Connecticut.
It was during this time that Kensett painted some of his finest works. Many of these were seascapes, the major example being Eaton’s Neck, Long Island (1872) now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The artist was widely praised and financially successful during his lifetime. In turn, he was generous in support of the arts and artists. He was a full member of the National Academy of Design, the founder and president of the Artists’ Fund Society, and a founder of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Kensett died of heart failure at his New York studio on December 14, 1872.

（22-23高二下·山东潍坊·期中）Human-made plastic materials have become so essential that it can be hard to grasp that they barely existed a century ago. At my desk, I'm typing on a plastic keyboard, scrolling a plastic mouse, and picking up a plastic pen. Day after day, more plastic enters my life, whether it's a shampoo bottle or new running shoes.
The invention of synthetic(合成的) plastics in the early 1900s was a success of innovation，with chemists realizing they could orchestrate molecular structures(编排分子结构) to create materials that are lighter, stronger, brighter, cheaper, more flexible and more durable. During World War II, nylon and other plastics became essential to the war effort. When the war ended, the initial plastics industry focused on making products for everyday life.
But the overuse of plastic has become a curse, with abandoned objects blocking waterways and landfills. And when plastic does finally fall apart, tiny particles go into the environment. We've known for years that microplastics have spread into the oceans. In this issue, we report on research confirming that microplastics are also storing up in our bodies. Plastic particles have been found in human blood, in body tissues and in breast milk.
Talk about environmental pollution hitting close to home. As independent journalist Anne Pinto-Rodrigues reports, microplastics probably enter the human body through the food we eat, the water we drink and even the air we breathe. Though consuming microplastics along with lunch is frightening enough, the idea that we might be taking in invisible bits with each breath feels much more disturbing.
Researchers have only recently begun quantifying the abundance of microplastics in the air, so it's not yet clear where people face the most exposure. Also unclear is what impact, if any, microplastics have on human health. Science is full of examples of unintended consequences.
Microplastics are an unintended consequence that we can't put back into the Tupperware. Merely switching from plastic to paper bags won't fix this problem. Science now needs to determine the extent of the threat microplastics might pose and invent new ways to protect against any harms.
28．What is paragraph 3 mainly about concerning plastic
A．The widespread use. B．The serious consequences.
C．The recycling methods. D．The chemical structure.
29．Which can replace the underlined part “hitting close to home” in paragraph 4
A．that is shocking B．that is declining
C．that is appealing D．that is demanding
30．What's the author's attitude towards plastic
A．It can take the place of paper.
B．It poses no threat to some extent.
C．New solutions are expected to deal with its harms.
D．Tupperware is to blame for its unintended results.
31．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Plastic bags or paper bags
B．Microplastics: To die out or not
C．Will you welcome plastics into your life
D．Where does plastic go when we're done with it
（22-23高二下·山东潍坊·期中）My dog, Harvey, is always looking for something to do. He loves to fetch the ball, run after birds’ shadows and bite bones. If none of those are available, he’ll find something else to do. He’ll chew our shoes, dig holes in the garden or take toilet paper off the roll. This is the reason we gave him a middle name: Danger.
Harvey Danger is a metaphor(暗喻) for my mind. He is like an active and creative mind. My experience with having a creative mind is that if I don’t give it a task, something will turn on itself.
To be frank, several years ago, I didn’t think I was creative. I was just an ordinary human sticking to my daily routine. But things changed when I came across an article written by Brene Brown. She put forward a theory I had never heard of. “There’re no such beings as creative people or non-creative people. There’re only people who use their creativity and people who don’t,” Brown wrote. “Unused creativity is not benign. It can transform and turn into anger, sorrow, shame and depression. ”
I have a mind that is all of those things combined and, if it doesn't have anything to take its attention, it will go searching for things. It tends to do negative things or find things like worries or troubles to focus on. That doesn’t mean that those with creative minds need to be busily thinking all the time. What it means is that our minds need a task. It's about releasing our creative energy to keep our minds healthy.
Before I throw a ball to Harvey-because it’s not only good for both of us, but also good for the garden that I
don’t want dug up-I’ll leave you with Brown’s wisdom. Just give the dog a job, and you’ll have a happier life.

A．It warned people against possible dog bites.
B．He was born with an active and creative mind.
C．He would put things in a mess when free.
D．It showed the author’s creativity.
33．What changed the author’s understanding of creativity
A．His dog’s positive behavior.
B．An article about daily routine.
C．Brene Brown’s theory about creativity.
D．His strong desire to fight negative feelings.
34．What does the underlined word “benign” in paragraph 3 mean
A．Attractive. B．Abnormal.
C．Common. D．Harmless.
35．What is the text mainly about
A．Training dogs to help with housework.
B．Staying creative to add to our happiness.
C．Avoiding leaving a dog alone in the garden.
D．Keeping a creative mind healthy with tasks.

（22-23高二下·福建泉州·期中）What do you think robots are capable of You might be able to find one that fits your needs at the World Robot Conference (WRC) 2022 in Beijing. Held from Aug 18 to 21, more than 500 robots were on display at the WRC, and this year’s WRC showed quite a few cutting-edge inventions.
Technology in agriculture
With the help of various sensors and an AI system, the robot can collect fruit according to its ripeness, quality and size. The robot first locates the fruit and then uses sensors to decide whether it is ripe, with a robotic
arm picking the fruit gently. The fruit is then categorized, ending up in a basket according to its size. Wu Jiafeng, the exhibitor of the fruit- picking robot, told CCTV that more robotic technology will be used in agriculture in the future, including robots for daily inspection and weeding.
Robots fighting COVID-19
Medical staff conducting nucleic acid tests often find their work tough, especially under the summer heat. A nucleic acid test robot developed by Tsinghua University and a Chinese biotech company was presented at the WRC． The robot can collect throat swabs, process samples, as well as produce and upload the results within 45 minutes. The whole process will not require the involvement of humans or laboratories.
Inventions of the youth
Students from BDA School of the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China had their own exhibition at the WRC． Despite their young age, the students brought fascinating inventions and ideas. For example Wang Jiarun, a junior student at the school, designed a three-dimensional parking facility. Since there are usually too few parking spaces in older residential areas, Wang’s work aims to fit more cars into current parking spots. The facility works like a sky wheel with six parking spots. When cars need to be picked up, the facility rotates (旋转) steadily, placing the car on the ground.
39．What’s the author’s purpose in writing this article

（22-23高二下·福建南平·期中）Scientists have discovered how plants manage to live alongside each other in places that are dark and shady. Plants in the deep darkness of a thick forest, where natural supplies are not very great in amount, won’t attempt to top their neighbors in growth as those in moderate (中度的) shade do. In deep shade conditions, it would be a waste of energy and harmful to survival because green shoots would never be able
to top their larger neighbors in growth.
So how do plants prevent such growth in deep shade conditions The secret lies in the clocks inside them, say scientists from the John Innes Centre and the University of Bristol.
They have discovered that when plants notice deep shade, this changes the expression of genes in certain parts of the circadian clock (昼夜节律时钟) — the internal daily timer found in plants and other living things. These clock components perform an additional role in preventing plants from lengthening and overtopping neighbors.
The work identifies a previously unknown role of the circadian clock in controlling plant development, and the findings may have possible effects on both natural plant populations and crops. Professor Antony Dodd of the John Innes Centre said, “The biological clock of plants plays a big part in their development and fitness. This work casts new light on a new role of the circadian clock in adapting plants to competition with other plants in their environments.” “It also gives us new insights into how plants adapt to very deep shade, where resources are very limited,” said Professor Kerry Franklin at the University of Bristol.
This work provides evidence for the stability of the circadian clock in stressful environments, and information that may be useful in developing new generations of crops in a challenging climate.

（22-23高二下·河北唐山·期中）Nowadays, plastic waste is a challenging problem all over the world. Scientist worldwide are working hard to find ways to recycle the plastic wastes to save the earth from the white
disaster.
Australian scientists have found a species of worm that can eat polystyrene (聚苯乙烯) could be the key to plastic recycling. Researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia discovered the common Zophobas morio “superworm” can eat through polystyrene, thanks to a bacterial enzyme (酶) in their gut (肠道).
Dr. Chris Rinke and his team from UQ’s School of Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences fed superworms different diets over a three-week period, with some given polystyrene, some grain and others had nothing to eat. “We found the superworms fed a diet of just polystyrene not only survived, but even had slight weight gains,” Dr. Rinke said. “This suggests the worms can get energy from the polystyrene, most likely with the help of the microbes (微生物) in their guts.” “Superworms are like mini recycling plants, tearing the polystyrene into pieces with their mouths and then feeding it to the bacteria in their gut,” Dr. Rinke said.
It’s hoped this bio-upcycling will increase plastic waste recycling and reduce landfill. The long-term goal is to engineer enzymes to degrade (分解) plastic waste in recycling plants through mechanical shredding, and when plastic waste is torn into pieces, bacterial enzyme from the superworms can finish the enzymatic biodegradation process.
Co-author of the research, Jiarui Sun, said they aim to grow the gut bacteria in the lab and further test its ability to degrade polystyrene. “We can then look into how we can improve this process to a level required for an entire recycling plant,” Ms. Sun said.
49．What do we know about the “superworms”
A．They are on a strict diet.
B．They are very large .
C．They can digest polystyrene.
D．They can eat microbes.
50．How can people use the “superworms” to degrade plastic waste

B．By putting large amount of enzyme on the plastic waste.
C．By building more recycling plants to degrade plastic waste.
D．By tearing plastic waste into pieces and degrading it by enzyme.
51．What is the author’s attitude towards the research mentioned in the passage
A．doubtful B．concerned C．positive D．negative
52．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage
A．The superworms are now being widely used to recycle plastic waste.
B．Plastic waste is not really a serious problem people are facing now.
C．All superworms in the experiment were given polystyrene to study their ability to degrade it.
D．Scientists are trying to grow the gut bacteria in the lab to test its ability to degrade polystyrene.
（22-23高二下·河北唐山·期中）Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a mere acquaintance (认识的人). I have forgotten the name of the old lady to whom I delivered newspapers but I can’t forget the lesson she taught me in forgiveness .
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house . I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped from my hand as I let it go and headed straight not for the roof but for a small window of the house.
At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We turned and ran away fast. I was too scared about getting caught that first night by the old lady with the broken window. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her misfortune.
She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the paper, but I was no longer able to act comfortable in her presence. I made up my mind that I would save my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window.
I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it. I waited until dark, and put the letter I didn’t sign in her letter box.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was receiving from her.
She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of cookies she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the cookies happily.
After several cookies, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was stunned. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.”
53．What happened when the author broke the old lady’s window
A．He was caught red-handed. B．He thought he was not discovered.

（22-23高二下·福建南平·期中）Driving in Canada is similar to driving in many parts of the United States. Distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometers per hour and some signs, particularly in Quebec, may only be in French.
Unless otherwise posted, the maximum speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways. On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr. It is illegal to take automobile radar detectors (汽车雷达检测器) into Quebec, Manitoba, and the Yukon. Seat belt use is required by law for all passengers, and child car seats must be used by children under 40 pounds. Some provinces require drivers to keep their vehicles’ headlights on during the day and some have banned driving while using a handheld cell phone. Motorcycles cannot share a lane, and safety helmets for motorcycle riders and passengers are necessary.
Highway 401, from Detroit to Montreal, is one of the busiest highways in North America. It has been the scene of many deadly traffic accidents due to sudden and severe weather changes, high rates of speed, and heavy truck traffic. Thus drivers should be alert while travelling here.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information. Also, we suggest that you visit the website of Canada’s national authority responsible for road safety.
57．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A．All signs on the roads in Quebec are in English.
B．Automobile radar detectors are allowed to be used in Manitoba.

（22-23高二下·安徽池州·期中）The word “robot” was coined in 1920 by the Czech writer Karel Capek. In Rossum’s Universal Robots Capek imagined artificial, fully functional servants. For most of their history, however, robots have been stupid mechanical devices, sitting out of sight in factories.
Things are starting to change, however. Robots have benefited from rapid innovations in smartphones, which brought cheap cameras and sensors, fast wireless communications and powerful, smaller computer chips. More recent advances in machine learning have added software to make robots better informed about their surroundings and equipped them to make wiser decisions. Robots are becoming so advanced as to be used for everyday life and in the coming years, will increasingly work in supermarkets, clinics, social care and much more.
They could not be coming at a better time. Many industries are facing a shortage of labour -the demand for workers has recovered much faster than expected from COVID-19 and some people have left the workforce, particularly in America. Goods delivery has grown rapidly thanks to the growth of e-commerce. Robots are now picking items off shelves and helping people pack a rising number of boxes.
And yet many people fear that robots will destroy jobs. In fact, concerns about mass unemployment are overblown. The evidence suggests robots will be damaging at first but ultimately beneficial for labour markets. Japan and South Korea have the highest level of robot usage but very strong workforces. A Yale University study that looked at Japanese manufacturing between 1978 and 2017 found that an increase of one robot unit per 1,000 workers boosted a company’s employment by 2.2%. Research from the Bank of Korea found that robotisation moved jobs away from manufacturing into other sectors, but that there was no decrease in overall vacancies (空缺).
As is to be expected, some people will be on the losing end of change even as robots make society as a whole better off, so firms and governments should recognise the value of retraining and lifelong learning. As jobs change, workers should be helped to acquire new skills, including how to work with and manage the robots that will increasingly be their workmates.
61．What can be learned about robots for most of their history
A．They have looked quite ugly. B．They have done very complex work.
C．They have worked like humans’ friends. D．They have been kind of hidden from people.
62．What are robots like these days
A．They are able to make their own decisions.
B．They are aware of things around them.
C．They are hard-working delivery workers.
D．They are decreasing in number during COVID-19.
63．Why are Japan and South Korea mentioned in paragraph 4
A．To compare the various roles of robots.
B．To show that robots will replace human beings.
C．To prove that robots contribute to labour markets.
D．To predict the development of robots in the future.
64．What is the author’s tone in the text
A．Positive. B．Humorous. C．Tolerant. D．Doubtful.
（22-23高二下·安徽池州·期中）Panama is a nation full of colorful imagery. But perhaps the most symbolic example of its liveliness is a traditional dress known as a mola.
For centuries, the Guna, a native group living in Panama and parts of neighboring Colombia, have been creating the colorful clothing. A mola, which translates to “shirt” in the Guna language, is a piece of traditional dress typically worn by women and known for its bright colors and complicated designs.
While there’s no exact record of when the first mola was made, many historians believe that the colorful custom came from a different form of art that was common within the Guna community: body painting. “At one time, the Guna people used body painting to keep away bad spirits,” says Yanelis Ledezma, a tour guide at the Museo de la Mola (MUMO) in Panama City. “Ladies would draw symbols and signs on the bodies of their family members. Eventually, these same patterns were applied to molas.”
Ledezma estimates that creating a mola can take anywhere from 60 to 80 hours of labor to sew (缝). To create each dress, women and girls use a technique called reverse appliqué, which involves mixing two or more fabrics (织物) of different colors and sewing them together. The more fabrics used, the more complex the final piece. Often, the base fabric of a piece is black to help emphasize the other colors and make them stand out on the finished dress.
The art of creating a mola is something that’s handed down from one generation of Guna women to the next. “It takes a lot of time to make a mola,” Ledezma says. “Ladies will visualize the finished mola in their mind and create everything by hand without using any sort of patterns. They visually know where to put each piece of fabric, and the result is a beautiful piece of art. To this day, the mola is more than a piece of clothing; it’s an important part of being part of the Guna community.”
65．What can we learn about the Guna
A．They prefer vivid colors. B．They speak several languages.
C．They lived mainly in Colombia. D．They had a high-tech clothing industry.
66．Why was the mola created according to paragraph 3
A．To appeal to tourists. B．To protect wearers against misfortune.
C．To show unique family characteristics. D．To strengthen the sense of personal identity
67．What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us about the mola
A．The fabrics selected for it. B．The traditional way to make it.
C．The workers cooperating on it. D．The amount of time used to make it.
68．What does Ledezma think of the mola
A．It needs improvement. B．It is losing its features.
C．It carries cultural identity. D．It helps develop creativity.

（22-23高二下·贵州遵义·期中）Plastic waste is choking our planet. People are trying to help fix it by recycling, but their efforts aren’t going far enough. Even when plastic producers are held responsible and attempt to solve the problem, it doesn’t always go smoothly. Such has been the case for the company Torus Pak, which produces novel packaging for frozen meals on a large scale.
Like many other black plastic products, the Torus Pak packages used a carbon-based pigment (颜料). This pigment troubles the sorting technology which is used by many recycling facilities, so black plastic usually ends up being thrown away because the machines can’t identify it. Now the company is midway through the complex process of phasing out that pigment and switching that pigment to one that doesn’t use carbon.
But that doesn’t mean the problem is solved, for the recycling rate at the waste facility itself is not encouraging. Your discarded plastic may end up in a landfill even if you send it to be recycled. Worldwide, only about nine percent of all the plastic waste has been recycled, which amounts to less than 600 million tons out of over 6 billion. While one might assume the proportion of plastic being recycled is on the increase due to improved
tech and increased public awareness of environmental protection, it’s actually become even lower in many places in recent years.
“The world wasn’t always flooded with single-use plastic products,” said Lisa Ramsden, senior plastic campaigner for Greenpeace USA．“We know how to live without them. We’ve just got used to a convenience culture that relies so heavily on them.”
The solution is obvious. To get out of this habit, we should stop using so much plastic, starting with many of the items we use just once for a few panies need to shift toward using more refillable and reusable containers, and packaging made from materials that are less harmful to the environment. Governments must mandate (强制执行) such changes a goal we’re now finally inching closer to every day.
72．What is the problem with Torus Pak packages
A．They are expensive for customers.
B．Their production process is complex.
C．Their pigment is hardly appealing.
D．They are hard to define recyclable.
73．What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 3
A．The reason for recycling plastic waste.
B．The potential of recycling plastic waste.
C．The outcome of recycling plastic waste.
D．The objective of recycling plastic waste.
