（2021·辽宁省葫芦岛市高二模拟）Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue，based on his own experience. Here are a few of them’
●Download a Language Translation App
Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them ideally，find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with，or have difficulty pronouncing.
● Speak with Your Hands and Head
Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head，Mr. Thibault said，are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood,” he said.
● Learn a Few Key Words
Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”, “thank you” and “I’m sorry, I don’t speak your language. Do you speak English ” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don t know more, is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.
● Work with a Local Travel Agent
If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destinations languages can be incredibly useful.
● Hire a Local Tour Guide
A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said

（2021·浙江1月卷）Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda，and examining more than 5，000incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter，who led the research，said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps，she said had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures she said. They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call，the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages This was a significant difference between calls and gestures，Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signalling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species(物种) out there that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing.”
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”
4. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr hobaiter
A. Memorizing specific words.
B. Understanding complex information.
C. Using voices to communicate.
D. Communicating messages on purpose.
5. What did Dr Shultz think of the study
A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
6. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean
A. Difference.
B. Conflict.
C. Balance.
D. Connection.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough

（2021·湖北省武昌市调研）The mandarin-speaking figure spins around a 360-degree restaurant scene in an artificial intelligence-driven instruction program that looks like giant video game. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students testing the technology move inside the 12-foot-high projection（投影）to order virtual bean curd from the panda waiter，chat with Beijing market sellers and practice Tai Chi by mirroring moves of a watchful teacher.
“Definitely less anxiety than messing it up with a real human being，”says Rahul Divekar，a computer science graduate student. “So compared to that anxiety，this is a lot more easy.”
The Mandarin Project is a joint enterprise of RPI and IBM Cognitive and Immersive Systems Laboratory researchers are developing a sort of smart room that can understand students words，answer their questions and observe their gestures Lessons are presented as games or tasks，like ordering a meal.
Divekar orders Peking duck-“Beijing kaoya” the panda fetches the virtual dish. Divekar says the food is good- “Cai hen hao chi”-but he can’t pay the bill. No problem，the panda replies- “Ni keyi xi pan zi”-you can wash the dishes.
Other scenes include an outdoor market and a garden each a high-tech twist on cultural immersion.
“Our plan to complete several scenes of real life in China, to let the student be able to have a virtual trip over there,” says Hui Su, director of the lab at RPI.
Tests on the room with students studying Mandarin will continue this school year as they work on additional scenes including an airport a six- week course is being readied for the summer.
The Mandarin Project is notable for its scale and complexity. Computers interpret speech and gesture to keep a dialogue going. When a student points to a picture and asks “What’s that ” computers can come up with an answer Still, language teachers need not fear for their jobs just yet Developers of the Mandarin Project say it isn’t advanced enough right now to completely replace classroom instruction.
RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson foresees the same type of technology being applied to other spaces, such as corporate boardrooms. “We’re not at the end of the line, Jackson says, but closer to the beginning.”
8. What is the advantage of learning via the Mandarin Project
A. It is thrilling.
B. It is relaxing.
C. It is effective.
D. It is demanding.
9. How do students learn Chinese in the Mandarin Project
A. By doing tests in the smart rooms.
B. By learning from language teachers.
C. By playing video games with Chinese.
D. By conducting tasks in designed situations.
10. Which of the following scenes is to be developed
A. Ordering food.
B. Practicing Tai Chi.
C. Waiting at the airport.
D. Buying things in a market.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Language teachers will be jobless soon.

（2021·辽宁省大连市高二月考）We can have video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of a mountain But communicating with a submarine NE or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater airborne（空气传播的）devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water Sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.
Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we’ve shown is that it’s actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，”says Fadel Adib，a professor at MIT’s Media lab, who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface making vibrations(震动) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data. a surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a planes black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.
Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high waves, storms schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction-air to water. If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.
12. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1
A. The future of video chat underwater and in air.
B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices.
C. The difficulty of communication from water to air.
D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine.
13. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean
A. Achievable.
B. Convenient.
C. Changeable.
D. Alternative.
14. What do we know about TARF
A. It is widely used to find downed planes.
B. It can work well at great depths underwater.
C. It is an underwater machine that sends signals.
D. It can send, receive and read signals from underwater.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar Technology.
B. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to Reality.
C. A Breakthrough in the application of Video Chat.
D. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication.

（2021·山东省烟台市高二模拟）I worked from the time when i was four and raised seven children all of whom were college graduates. It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life，but I had one regret. I was born in1898，the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school，so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went，I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city，take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928，I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love married and moved to Dallas，where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children first went to school I took my wife aside. “Elzenia，”I said， “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”
In 1938，one day my boss called me in. “George，”he said， “no one knows those machines like you do I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said， “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of h office. I did stay right where I was，until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years，I lived a happy life，but it still seemed to me like something was missing.”
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98.I thought of my friends and neighbors and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years，my secret would be out But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action

第二节
One possible version：
The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me Through chatting, I learned that they had all been longing to read and write but never had the chance to go to school. As the bell rang, in came he teacher, a woman well past forty. After a warm and brief greeting we started our lesson. First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, no one laughed at me. Everyone helped each other with open-hearted enjoyment.
I’m still going to school. Though faced with the most challenging event of my life, I’m full of courage and confidence. With the generous help of my teacher, friends and my children, I have made huge progress in study. Now I’m never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all. Besides, I’m eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes, because it’s never too late to learn.

（2021·辽宁省葫芦岛市高二模拟）Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue，based on his own experience. Here are a few of them’
●Download a Language Translation App
Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them ideally，find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with，or have difficulty pronouncing.
● Speak with Your Hands and Head
Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head，Mr. Thibault said，are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood,” he said.
● Learn a Few Key Words
Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”, “thank you” and “I’m sorry, I don’t speak your language. Do you speak English ” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don t know more, is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.
● Work with a Local Travel Agent
If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destinations languages can be incredibly useful.
● Hire a Local Tour Guide
A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language,” he said

（2021·浙江1月卷）Researchers say they have translated the meaning of gestures that wild chimpanzees（黑猩猩）use to communicate. They say wild chimps communicate 19 specific messages to one another with a “vocabulary” of 66 gestures The scientists discovered this by following and filming groups of chimps in Uganda，and examining more than 5，000incidents of these meaningful exchanges.
Dr Catherine Hobaiter，who led the research，said that this was the only form of intentional communication to be recorded in the animal kingdom. Only humans and chimps，she said had a system of communication where they deliberately sent a message to another group member.
“That’s what’s so amazing about chimp gestures she said. They’re the only thing that looks like human language in that respect.”
Although previous research has shown that apes and monkeys can understand complex information from another animal’s call，the animals do not appear to use their voices intentionally to communicate messages This was a significant difference between calls and gestures，Dr Hobaiter said.
Chimps will check to see if they have the attention of the animal with which they wish to communicate. In one case, a mother presents her foot to her crying baby, signalling: “Climb on me.” The youngster immediately jumps on to its mothers back and they travel off together. “The big message from this study is that there is another species(物种) out there that is meaningful in its communication, so that’s not unique to humans,” said Dr hobaiter.
Dr Susanne Shultz, an evolutionary biologist from the University of Manchester, said the study was praiseworthy in seeking to enrich our knowledge of the evolution of human language. But, she added, the results were “a little disappointing.”
“The vagueness of the gesture meanings suggests either that the chimps have little to communicate, or we are still missing a lot of the information contained in their gestures and actions,” she said. “Moreover, the meanings seem to not go beyond what other animals convey with non-verbal communication. So, it seems the gulf remains.”
4. What do chimps and humans have in common according to Dr hobaiter
A. Memorizing specific words.
B. Understanding complex information.
C. Using voices to communicate.
D. Communicating messages on purpose.
5. What did Dr Shultz think of the study
A. It was well designed but poorly conducted.
B. It was a good try but the findings were limited.
C. It was inspiring but the evidence was unreliable.
D. It was a failure but the methods deserved praise.
6. What does the underlined word “gulf” in the last paragraph mean
A. Difference.
B. Conflict.
C. Balance.
D. Connection.
7. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. Chimpanzee behaviour study achieved a breakthrough

（2021·湖北省武昌市调研）The mandarin-speaking figure spins around a 360-degree restaurant scene in an artificial intelligence-driven instruction program that looks like giant video game. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute students testing the technology move inside the 12-foot-high projection（投影）to order virtual bean curd from the panda waiter，chat with Beijing market sellers and practice Tai Chi by mirroring moves of a watchful teacher.
“Definitely less anxiety than messing it up with a real human being，”says Rahul Divekar，a computer science graduate student. “So compared to that anxiety，this is a lot more easy.”
The Mandarin Project is a joint enterprise of RPI and IBM Cognitive and Immersive Systems Laboratory researchers are developing a sort of smart room that can understand students words，answer their questions and observe their gestures Lessons are presented as games or tasks，like ordering a meal.
Divekar orders Peking duck-“Beijing kaoya” the panda fetches the virtual dish. Divekar says the food is good- “Cai hen hao chi”-but he can’t pay the bill. No problem，the panda replies- “Ni keyi xi pan zi”-you can wash the dishes.
Other scenes include an outdoor market and a garden each a high-tech twist on cultural immersion.
“Our plan to complete several scenes of real life in China, to let the student be able to have a virtual trip over there,” says Hui Su, director of the lab at RPI.
Tests on the room with students studying Mandarin will continue this school year as they work on additional scenes including an airport a six- week course is being readied for the summer.
The Mandarin Project is notable for its scale and complexity. Computers interpret speech and gesture to keep a dialogue going. When a student points to a picture and asks “What’s that ” computers can come up with an answer Still, language teachers need not fear for their jobs just yet Developers of the Mandarin Project say it isn’t advanced enough right now to completely replace classroom instruction.
RPI president Shirley Ann Jackson foresees the same type of technology being applied to other spaces, such as corporate boardrooms. “We’re not at the end of the line, Jackson says, but closer to the beginning.”
8. What is the advantage of learning via the Mandarin Project
A. It is thrilling.
B. It is relaxing.
C. It is effective.
D. It is demanding.
9. How do students learn Chinese in the Mandarin Project
A. By doing tests in the smart rooms.
B. By learning from language teachers.
C. By playing video games with Chinese.
D. By conducting tasks in designed situations.
10. Which of the following scenes is to be developed
A. Ordering food.
B. Practicing Tai Chi.
C. Waiting at the airport.
D. Buying things in a market.

（2021·辽宁省大连市高二月考）We can have video chat with astronauts aboard the International Space Station and watch live footage from the frozen heights of a mountain But communicating with a submarine NE or a diver is not so easy. The lack of practical methods for sharing data between underwater airborne（空气传播的）devices has long been a frustration for scientists. The difficulty stems from the fact that radio signals work perfectly in air travel but poorly in water Sonar signals used by underwater sensors reflect off the surface of water rather than reaching the air.
Now，researchers at MIT have developed a method with the potential to revolutionize underwater communication. “What we’ve shown is that it’s actually feasible to communicate from underwater to the air，”says Fadel Adib，a professor at MIT’s Media lab, who led the research.
The MIT researchers designed a system that uses an underwater machine to send sonar signals to the surface making vibrations(震动) corresponding to the 1s and 0s of the data. a surface receiver then reads and decodes these tiny vibrations. The researchers call the system TARF. It has any number of potential real-world uses, Adib says. It could be used to find downed planes underwater by reading signals from sonar devices in a planes black box and it could allow submarines to communicate with the surface.
Right now the technology is low-resolution. The initial study was conducted in the MIT swimming pool at maximum depths of around 11 or 12 feet. The next steps for the researchers are to see if TARF is workable at much greater depths and under varying conditions-high waves, storms schools of fish. They also want to see if they can make the technology work in the other direction-air to water. If the technology proves successful in real-world conditions expect “texting while diving” to be the latest underwater fashion.
12. What does the author mainly talk about in Paragraph 1
A. The future of video chat underwater and in air.
B. The frustrations of developing underwater devices.
C. The difficulty of communication from water to air.
D. The current situation of communicating with a submarine.
13. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean
A. Achievable.
B. Convenient.
C. Changeable.
D. Alternative.
14. What do we know about TARF
A. It is widely used to find downed planes.
B. It can work well at great depths underwater.
C. It is an underwater machine that sends signals.
D. It can send, receive and read signals from underwater.
15. What is the best title for the text
A. The Real-world Uses of Sonar Technology.
B. Full Water-to-air Communication Closer to Reality.
C. A Breakthrough in the application of Video Chat.
D. TARF Becoming a New Means of Communication.

（2021·山东省烟台市高二模拟）I worked from the time when i was four and raised seven children all of whom were college graduates. It seemed I’d done everything I’d ever wanted to do in my life，but I had one regret. I was born in1898，the oldest of five kids. Papa couldn’t spare me to go to school，so I worked in the fields with him till I was 21 years old.
Everywhere I went，I learned some hard lessons about what happens to a man who even can’t read the alphabet People cheat you out of wages. They sell you a ticket to one city，take your money and hand you a ticket to somewhere else.
By 1928，I’d been wandering for nine years. I met a woman named Elzenia. We fell in love married and moved to Dallas，where I got work fixing roads for the city. When Amelia, the oldest of our seven children first went to school I took my wife aside. “Elzenia，”I said， “I don’t want the kids to know I can’t read or write.”
In 1938，one day my boss called me in. “George，”he said， “no one knows those machines like you do I’d like to promote you.” But my thrill and surprise were cut short when he said， “Fill out this application and we’ll get you a raise.” I couldn’t admit the truth. I thanked him and walked out of h office. I did stay right where I was，until I turned 65 and my boss made me retire. But I didn’t stop working. For the next 25 years，I lived a happy life，but it still seemed to me like something was missing.”
A young fellow handed me a piece of paper. It’s information about adult education classes. People can learn to read and write. Now I’m 98.I thought of my friends and neighbors and what they might think if they found out I couldn’t read. After all these years，my secret would be out But all my life I’ve wanted to read. It was high time for action

第二节
One possible version：
The young man drove me to a huge building and led me into a spacious classroom, which was crowded with elderly people like me Through chatting, I learned that they had all been longing to read and write but never had the chance to go to school. As the bell rang, in came he teacher, a woman well past forty. After a warm and brief greeting we started our lesson. First we learned to read the alphabet and though I made mistakes at times, no one laughed at me. Everyone helped each other with open-hearted enjoyment.
I’m still going to school. Though faced with the most challenging event of my life, I’m full of courage and confidence. With the generous help of my teacher, friends and my children, I have made huge progress in study. Now I’m never shy about admitting the truth that once I was not able to read and write at all. Besides, I’m eager to encourage more elderly people to attend the adult education classes, because it’s never too late to learn.
