1、2018-2019 學年高一下學期英語期中綜合訓練一、閱讀理解 (共 15 小題;每小題 2 分,滿分 30 分)AFour years ago, we asked ourselves: what if we could create a shoppingexperience with no waiting in lines and
2、60;no checkout? Or could we create a physicalstore where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to thosequestions is Amazon Go, where you coul
3、d experience the idea of “just walk outshopping”.Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created theworlds most advanced shopping technology, so
4、60;you neve r have to wait in line. Withour “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter thestore, take the products you want, and
5、 go! No lines, no checkout.Our checkout-free shopping experience is made possible by the same types oftechnologies used in self-driving cars: computer vision, sensor fusion, a
6、nd deeplearning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products aretaken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart.
7、When youre done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, well chargeyour Amazon account and send you a receipt.We offer delicious ready-to-eat breakfast, lunch,&
8、#160;dinner, and snack options madefresh every day by our on-site chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Ourselection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to
9、cheeses and locally madechocolates. Youll find well-known brands we love, plus special finds were excited tointroduce to customers. For a quick home-cooked dinner, pick up one
10、 of ourchef-designed Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30minutes.Our 1,800-square-foot shopping space is conveniently compact ( 緊湊的), so busycust
11、omers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on thecorner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon
12、;account, asupported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app.Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program,and will be open to the public
13、0;soon.1. From the passage, we can learn that Amazon Go _.A. sells all kinds of goodsB. is open to the publicC. is a checkout-free storeD. uses unknown technologies2
14、. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?A. When Amazon Go charges.B. How Amazon Go works.C. Where Amazon Go lies.D. What Amazon Go sells.3. Customers pay for the
15、160;products from Amazon Go by _.A. using their Amazon accountsB. walking out of the storeC. scanning smartphones when leavingD. paying cash at the counter4. The main pur
16、pose of the passage is to _.A. tell people of the shopping experienceB. advise people to work for AmazonC. inform people of a new concept storeD. encourage people
17、60;to shop onlineBWhen important events are happening around the world, most people turn totraditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC for the news. However, during th
18、ewar in Iraq in 2003, many people followed the war from the point of view of anunknown Iraqi citizen who called himself “Salam Pax” (Salam Pax means peace).Salam
19、0;Pax wrote a diary about everyday life in Baghdad during the war, andposted it on his website. Paxs online diary was a kind of website known as a “blog”.Blogs&
20、#160;are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies andother groups of people. They are the fastest growing types of website on the Internet.A
21、0;blog differs from a traditional website in several ways. Most importantly, it isupdated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some areupdated several
22、60;times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or websites, whichcan help ordinary people easily set up and start writing their own blogs.There are many different&
23、#160;kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diaryof links where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or newsarticles that
24、0;they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other typesare personal diaries, where the writer talks about their life and feelings. Sometimesthese blogs can
25、60;be very personal.There is another kind of blogging, called “moblogging”, short for “mobileblogging”.Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are postedinstantl
26、y to the Internet. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines inSingapore when a high school student posted a movie he had taken of a teachers
27、houting at another student on the Internet. Many people were shocked by what thestudent did, and wanted phones with cameras to be banned from schools.Many people think
28、60;that as blogs become common, news reporting will rely lesson big media companies, and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet.They think that then the
29、0;news will be less like a lecture, and more like a conversation,where anyone can join in.5. Which statement about Salam Pax was true?A. He worked for CNN.B. Salam
30、160;Pax was not his real name.C. He used a mobile phone for his blog.D. He was famous as a host in BBC.6. What is the biggest difference between blogs and&
31、#160;traditional websites?A. Blogs are updated much more often.B. Blogs contain personal information.C. Blogs use special software.D. Blogs contain links to other websites.7. According
32、to the passage, in the future it is likely that _.A. everyone will have a blogB. blogging technology will be bannedC. large media companies will be unnecessaryD. peo
33、ple will be able to learn the news from other points of view8. What is the passage mainly about?A. The war in Iraq.B. New types of media.C. The history of&
34、#160;the Internet.D. The increase of using computers.CIs Your Diet Destroying the Environment?A vegetarian diet is often praised for its health benefits. Studies have shown thatveg
35、etarians usually have lower levels of heart disease and a lower risk of diabetesthan people who eat meat. What most people are less aware of, however, are theeffects
36、 that a vegetarian diet can have on the environment.Researchers from the Union of Concerned Scientists in the US recently studiedhow consumer behavior affects the environment.
37、 The study showed that meatconsumption is one of the main ways that humans can damage the environment,second only to the use of motor vehicle.Then, how can eating
38、60;meat have a negative effect on the environment? For a start,all farm animals such as cows, pigs, and sheep give off methane (沼氣) gas byexpelling (排出) wind from
39、60;their bodies. One cow can produce up to 60 liters ofmethane each day. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas aftercarbon dioxide. Many environmental expe
40、rts now believe that it is more responsiblefor global warming than carbon dioxide. It is estimated that 25% of all methanereleased into the atmosphere comes from farm
41、0;animals.Another way that meat production affects the environment is through the use ofwater and land. 2,500 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef,whe
42、reas 20 gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of wheat. One acre offarmland used for crop production can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000pounds o
43、f carrots, or 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.Many people now see the benefits of switching to a vegetarian diet, not just forhealth reasons, but also because it plays a
44、160;vital role in protecting the environment.However, some nutritionists advise against switching to a totally strict vegetarian, orvegan diet. They believe a vegan diet, which exc
45、ludes all products from animalsources, such as cheese, eggs, and milk, can be short of many necessary vitamins andminerals our bodies need.Today, many people know its imp
46、ortant to take better care of their bodies and touse the earths resources more efficiently. As this understanding spreads, more peoplemay realize that to help the environ
47、ment and for the human race to survive, more ofus will need to become vegetarians.9. The underlined word “it” in Para.3 refers to _.A. expelling windB. greenhouse ga
48、sC. carbon dioxideD. methane gas10. Many figures are used in Para.4 to show _.A. growing tomatoes has the highest productionB. crop production is better than meat product
49、ionC. meat production consumes too much water and landD. farm animals are the main producer of the methane gas11. What message does the passage want to convey?A. Our
50、 diet is destroying the surroundings.B. Raising farm animals affects the environment.C. A vegetarian diet helps to protect the environment.D. More and more people are becoming
51、 strict vegetarians.DDo you think you would work out more if you were offered money to do so?Science has shown that money can give people motivation to work out
52、, but perhaps notin the way that you think.According to a study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine Journal, the beststrategy isnt offering money; its giving
53、0;someone money, th en threatening to take itaway.Researchers gave 281 people the goal of walking 7,000 steps every day over 13weeks.To motivate the people who took part&
54、#160;to reach the goal, researchers divided theminto three groups.People in the first group received $1,40 (9 yuan) each day as long as they finished7,000 steps, the seco
55、nd group was only able to collect the $1.40 if they had reached7,000 steps the day before, and the third group was given $42 at the beginning of eachmonth
56、and $1.40 was taken away every time someone failed to meet the goal.The third group met their daily fitness goals 50 percent more often than the othertwo groups,
57、0;showing that people were most motivated to walk by the fear of losingmoney.“People are more motivated by losses than gains, and they like immediategratification.” study auth
58、or Dr Mitesh Patel, an assistant professor at the University ofPennsylvania in the US, told CNN. “They want to be rewarded today, not next year orfar into the f
59、uture.”O(jiān)ur brains tend to avoid wanting to lose things more than they try to get thebenefits from gaining them, Patel explained. “It makes people think like the mone
60、y istheirs to lose from day one.”In addition, in most programs, many participants will drop out quickly and only themotivated will stay involved, Patel said.“In ours, we&
61、#160;were pleasantly surprised that 96 percent stayed.” he added.The study provides evidence that what matters is not only the money incentive(激勵),but also how you think about
62、 them. This is important to how effective they are. Theevidence could have a big effect on health promotion programs in the future, accordingto the study.“Incentives them
63、selves are not all you need,” Stephanie Pronk, a health andwellness consultant with the Aonplc corporation, told The Wall Street Journal. “Itsreally important to change up
64、0;the incentive design and keep people on their toes.”12. According to Dr Mitesh Patel, the third group did better than the other two groupsmostly because _.A. they
65、were satisfied with being paid immediatelyB. they did not want the money they had gained to be taken awayC. they were able to get more money than the other
66、;two groupsD. they were given money at first while the others were not13. By mentioning other similar programs, Dr Mitesh Patel intended to _.A. stress that they did
67、nt expect the resultB. make a further comparison between these programsC. prove that their program has been more successfulD. show that motivation mattered more in other
68、programs14. What can we infer from Stephanie Pronks words?A. Incentives are of little importance in the process of getting fit.B. Incentives and ways in which they are
69、60;given are key to fitness programs.C. People should keep fit actively instead of being motivated by incentives.D. There are many ways to get people to feel motivated
70、60;to work out more.15. We can learn from the study that for incentives to work _.A. more benefits than losses should be obvious for participantsB. direct profits sh
71、ould be given rather than long-term onesC. designers need to consider how people think about incentivesD. designers need to work out the right form of motivation二、七選五閱讀 (
