Part 2 高考题型精准练
I. 阅读理解
A
Having met only weeks before，climbers Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay shook hands before hugging each other in a moment that would put their names in history books forever. They were on top of the world—literally. After five hours of continuous climbing the two first climbed to the top of Mount Qomolangma, the highest spot on earth. As the ultimate climbing goal for them both and the dream of most climbers，they had just 15 minutes to absorb the experience of being at 8，848.86 metres above sea level. Be any longer and they may not have made it back to camp to tell the tale.
With this in mind, the pair spent some of their precious minutes searching the area for signs of those who had been before them. The bodies of two previous Qomolangma hopefuls—Andrew Irvine and George Mallory of the 1924 attempt—were in the thoughts of Norgay and Hillary. However，they could find no sign of them having reached the top.
Qomolangma has been responsible for claiming over 300 lives and endangering many others，as it poses huge and unpredictable challenges, with high altitudes putting immense pressure on human biology and with its icy land making each step a risk. When the climbers made it back to camp and the news spread，global admiration and fame poured in.
Norgay and Hillary were determined to be the first to conquer the world’s highest mountain. They had done it. At the time they believed that the box had been ticked and no one else would put themselves through the danger to repeat their achievement. They couldn’t have been more wrong.
Today hundreds of people choose to follow in their footsteps every year. In contrast to the total isolation (孤独) felt on the first successful journey, during times of ideal weather conditions，queues form up to the mountain’s summit. This creates dangerous pauses(停顿)in the mountain’s most deadly zones.
Whether you believe these adventurers to be brave，admirable or out of their minds，it is clear that Hillary and Norgay have provided knowledge and inspiration for many to find out how it feels to truly be on top of the world.
1. What did Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay do on top of the world
A. They measured the height of Mount Qomolangma.
B. They celebrated their victory with many climbers.
C. They tried to find signs of earlier climbers.
D. They shared the experience as long as 15 minutes.
2. What can be inferred about Andrew Irvine and George Mallory from the passage
A. They succeeded in reaching the top of Mount Qomolangma first.
B. They lost their lives in their attempt to conquer Mount Qomolangma.
C. They were good friends of Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
D. They died because they didn’t return to their camp in time.
3. What does the underlined word “immense” in Paragraph 3 mean
A. Huge. B. Outside. C. Minimum. D. Limited.
4. What will the present Qomolangma climbers be likely to face compared with Norgay and Hillary
A. More terrible loneliness.
B. More ideal weather conditions.
C. More deadly zones.
D. More dangerous stops.
B
In the past few decades, great progress has been made in the field of space exploration, which has enabled mankind to have a deeper understanding of the solar system，our place in it and in the universe. “We sent probes (探测仪) to every planet in the solar system. This is by far the best one,” said Clayton, vice president of Blue Origin. “Let’s focus right now on protecting the Earth environment, and then we’ll go from here. Space science and technology should be people-centric and application-centric, and focus on improving human life. We need to have a strong footing on the Earth, learn to solve the day-to-day problems of the society.”
“Space technology can help achieve the 17 sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030 set by the United Nations. Satellite monitoring can really help with agriculture.” said Victoria, CEO of a company working on sustainable development. “Through Global Navigation Satellite System, animals’ movement information recorded on self-recharging devices can be transmitted to the company’s server. Farmers can be alerted in real time if anomalies (反常现象) are detected. We can use it to ensure the traceability of the entire meat chain. As a result, it enables consumers to know that the beef they are eating does not come from protected areas or the cattle don’t contribute to deforestation.”
As early as 2007，Michael Griffin, former Administrator of NASA, put forward the concept of the “space economy” in a speech. He is very optimistic about the market prospect of commercial space and said, “According to the latest data, the global space industry could reach $1 trillion in 2040, up from $378 billion currently. I believe more business models and space activities will be created in the future to achieve the economic scale of $1 trillion.”
As an entrepreneur(创业者)herself, Victoria thinks the thriving space market will bring countless opportunities for entrepreneurs. She mentioned future settlements on Mars or on the Moon. “If we are going to develop a new society outside the Earth, we will need all types of applications and all types of startups. But coming back to the Earth, there are so many problems that need to be solved，and space technology can really help with that.”
5. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A. A successful space exploration.
B. A probe sent to other planets.
C. The planet people are living on now.
D. The solar system people are exploring.
6. In Clayton’s opinion，what should be the first concern about space technology
A. Providing more financial support.
B. Improving people’s life on Earth.
C. Sending more probes into the universe.
D. The development of related technology.
7. How does Victoria support her statement about satellite monitoring in Paragraph 2
A. By making reasoning.
B. By providing accurate figures.
C. By making comparison.
D. By illustrating it from different aspects.
8. What does the text mainly talk about
A. The necessity of space exploration.
B. Breakthroughs in space exploration.
C. The possible application of space technology.
D. Controversial issues about space technology.
C
This year，new technologies will enable more drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel (方向盘) while on the road. But that doesn’t mean their cars will be fully self-driving—that day still remains far in the future.
Automakers like General Motors (GM), Ford and Stellantis are introducing, or upgrading existing technologies. But in the words of Kay Stepper，an automated driving expert, these systems are “feet off ” and “hands off”, but they will not be “eyes off” or “mind off”.
For the time being，these systems will only be used on limited-access highways，where there are no pedestrians or bicyclists. Vehicles with this technology will be able to drive at relatively high speeds，but only in simple traffic situations.
Bryan Reimer, a researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s AgeLab, said it will be decades before people can buy truly self-driving cars in which humans ride as passengers.
Still，the technology that will be rolled out by the major automakers this year will do more than most so-called Advanced Driver Assistance Systems，or ADAS，do now.
GM’s Super Cruise system allows drivers to completely let go of the steering wheel while driving on selected highways. It was introduced in 2019 on the Cadillac CT6 sedan, which was discontinued last year. An improved version is coming this year on the Cadillac Escalade SUV and the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans.
Super Cruise only works on highways that have been previously laser-mapped in three dimensions.GPS positioning and the vehicles’ radar sensors (传感器) and cameras are used to enable drivers to unhand all the controls.
Drivers still need to pay attention，however. A camera in the car makes sure the driver is looking at the road at all times. If the driver looks away from the road for more than a few seconds，the system will stop working.
9. At present, what can the self-driving cars do
A. They can drive freely on city streets.
B. They can run without human drivers.
C. They handle complex road conditions on their own.
D. They allow drivers to take their hands off the steering wheel.
10. What can we infer from the words of Kay Stepper
A. People need to trust new technology.
B. People still need to pay attention.
C. People can look away from the road.
D. People can’t unhand all the controls.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. It’s High Time to Get a New Car
B. The Industrial Revolution Is Underway
C. Super Cruise Does More than Most ADAS
D. The Real Self-driving Remains Far
Ⅱ.七选五
In the workplace, one of the most important skills to possess is good communication.__1__; it means they are able to listen to others, as well as successfully convey their own ideas and opinions. While listening and speaking are important in effective communication, there are other skills that are vital to good communication in the workplace.
