（2024·临沂高二上学期期末考试）Electric vehicles （EVs） are a strong weapon in the world’s efforts against global warming.But the effects of EVs depend on what country you are in.
The Radiant Energy Group （REG） tried to learn the difference in gas emissions caused by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an electric vehicle.The study collected statistics on the emissions caused by charging a Tesla Model 3 to drive 100 kilometers with the emissions coming from an average gasoline car driven the same distance.
Countries where charging an electric vehicle is cleaner than driving a gasoline-powered car use a lot of hydroelectric， nuclear or solar power.
Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe.Data from REG suggests that EVs in Poland and Kosovo actually create more carbon emissions because their electric systems depend so much on coal.In other European countries， however， EVs result in reduced emissions.
The countries with the biggest carbon gas savings from EVs use a lot of nuclear and hydroelectric power.First was Switzerland at 100 percent carbon savings over gasoline vehicles.Next was Norway at 98 percent， France at 96 percent， Sweden at 95 percent and Austria 93 percent.The research was based on public data on Europe’s electricity usage and the European Environment Agency （EEA）.
The countries which showed the lowest savings were Cyprus at 4 percent， Serbia 15 percent， Estonia 35 percent and the Netherlands 37 percent.
Germany and Spain create a lot of electricity from the sun and wind.But the sun and wind do not add to a country’s electricity system equally throughout the day.
For this reason， the amount of carbon emissions saved by driving an EV depends on the time of day it is being charged.Charging in the afternoon， when there is more sun and wind， saves 16 to 18 percent more carbon than at night when electricity systems are more likely to be using gas or coal.
Automakers including General Motors， Stellantis and Volkswagen have set targets to sell mainly electric vehicles in Europe in the coming years.US car manufacturer General Motors said it would have all new electric cars in two years.
1.What’s the purpose of the study made by the REG？
A.To find a solution.
B.To establish a theory.
C.To make a comparison.
D.To confirm an assumption.
2.Which of the following does best in protecting the environment？
A.France. B.Cyprus.
C.Germany. D.Switzerland.
3.When should people charge their EVs in Germany and Spain？
A.In the morning. B.At noon.
C.In the afternoon. D.In the evening.
4.What would be the best title for the text？
A.Will Electric Cars Replace Gas Cars？
B.Do Electric Cars Help the Environment？
C.How Should We Charge Electric Cars？
D.Why Are Electric Cars Popular in Europe？

（2024·邯郸十校高二下学期联考）In 2005， Calvin Echevarria was on top of his game.He had two jobs， bought a house and was raising a 3-year-old daughter with his wife.But suddenly， it felt like it was all being taken away.He could no longer work as a FedEx driver because he was going blind.
He was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.“All I care is about my wife and my daughter，” he told CBS News.“I want to see my daughter grow up.”
Echevarria at first worked on developing independent living skills like walking with a cane.But he wanted to learn more — like skills that would be useful for a job.That’s when he found Lighthouse Works in Orlando， a company that creates jobs for the visually impaired and blind.
“Seven out of ten Americans who are visually impaired are not in the workforce，” said Kyle Johnson， the president and CEO of Lighthouse Works.“And we knew that people who are blind are the most highly educated disability group on the planet.So， we created Lighthouse Works to help them to work and contribute.”
What began as Lighthouse Central Florida in 1976 has evolved.The organization originally focused on helping the blind and visually impaired learn independent living skills and enter the workforce.But in 2011， they created Lighthouse Works in Orlando， their own company that provides call center and supply chain services and hires people who are blind or visually impaired.At Lighthouse Works， nearly half of the employees are visually impaired or blind.
Echevarria said working in a fully accessible office space， with other visually impaired people who can relate to him， is an added benefit.“It gives me a purpose.It makes me feel better because I can actually be proud of myself，” he said.His original worry was not being able to be there for his daughter.Now， he’s her mentor， because she’s an employee at Lighthouse Works as well.
5.Which proverb can best describe Calvin Echevarria’s life experience？
A.Life is full of ups and downs.
B.Time and tide wait for no man.
C.Misfortune may be an actual blessing.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
6.Why did Kyle Johnson set up Lighthouse Works in Orlando？
A.To make the blind live happily.
B.To help the blind recover their sight.
C.To enable the blind to serve society.
D.To help the blind become independent.
7.What do we learn about Lighthouse Works in Orlando？
A.It was set up over 40 years ago.
B.Most of its employees are blind.
C.It provides jobs for blind people.
D.It mainly teaches the blind life skills.
8.How did Calvin Echevarria feel about his life？
A.Worried. B.Satisfied.

（2024·石家庄高二下学期质检）Pay it forward is an idiom that means to do something kind or useful for someone because someone else has done something kind or useful for you. In other 9 ， the recipient of an act of kindness does something kind for someone else rather than 10 accepting or repaying the original good deed. Let me give you an example.
One day， as I was walking down a local street， I saw money 11 on the ground. It was fifteen dollars， a ten and a five. I stood there 12 someone to come back to retrieve it. Maybe it would be a 13 child or a senior having dropped it. I waited a while， but no one came.
When I got home， I put a 14 on our community e-mail site.“Found money on Henry Street. Please 15 me if it is yours.” Shortly， another notice was posted beneath it. It read， “Boy， you must really be rich to be able to give the money back.” I must admit， I was 16 at that moment. How could anyone 17 in such a way？How do you measure decency （体面）？Or respect for another person’s 18 ？
Later that morning， there was another notice from a woman who 19 that she had lost fifteen dollars， a ten and a five-dollar bill. Bingo. I called her 20 .

“I have to be home earlier than all my friends，” my teenage son， Jordan， said. “I’m seventeen years old， and I still have a curfew （宵禁）. Legally， I’m practically an adult.”
“You’re not an adult，” I said. “You’re still in high school. I love you， and I want to protect you. As long as you live at home， there will be certain rules to follow. But those rules exist because I love you， not because I’m trying to control you.”
He rolled his eyes and walked away. I felt tears prick my eyes. Parenting teenagers was so challenging. How could I make Jordan see that I only wanted the best for him？
We have a black pet cat named Meatball and Jordan likes it very much. Meatball just likes being able to come and go as he pleases.
One night in January， temperatures were unusually low. Meatball stood at the door， meowing to go outside.
“It’s too cold out there， Bud，” I said. “You’ll freeze.” He stared at me and meowed again.
The next morning， I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked Jordan if he had seen him. Jordan nodded. “I let him out last night.” My mouth dropped open. “He was outside all night？ It was freezing！”
Jordan shrugged，“He was sitting by the door， meowing. I could tell he wanted to go out.”
I grabbed my coat and rushed outside， praying the cat had survived the night. It took me several minutes to find him curled （蜷作一团） under a car. I picked him up， unsure if he was alive or dead. As I carried him into the house， I saw him open his eyes a bit. “Thank goodness，” I murmured. I called the vet （兽医） immediately and the next few hours were scary.
“I’m sorry， Buddy，” I heard Jordan say over and over again. “Mom was right. Even though you didn’t want to， I should have made you stay inside where it was safe.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
As I drove to the vet’s office， Jordan sat in the back， holding Meatball inside his coat for warmth.
On the drive home， surprisingly， Jordan apologised to me.

What Will Schools Be Like in the Future？
With the rapid development of science and technology， everything has been changing with each passing day.Many people are wondering what schools will be like in the future.
First of all， human teachers and robots will work together.The latter won’t take the place of the former； instead， they will serve as teachers’ assistants and do some simple jobs， such as correcting homework and disciplining students.Secondly， there will be virtual classrooms.That is to say， students can have lessons both at school or at home.Thirdly， students’ learning will become more personalized.Each student will get learning materials that are suitable to them.
I firmly believe everything will become easier and better thanks to science and technology.Education is no exception.

As I drove to the vet’s office， Jordan sat in the back， holding Meatball inside his coat for warmth. I could hear him talking to the cat， apologising in soft tones. He was clearly near tears. After examining him， the vet determined that Meatball had a mild case of frostbite on his paws， ears， and tail， but no permanent damage. “But this could have been bad，” the vet cautioned. “This little guy needs to stay inside overnight， whether he wants to or not.”
On the drive home， surprisingly， Jordan apologised to me.“I’m sorry for how I’ve acted about my curfew，” he said. “I know you’re doing it because you love me and want to keep me safe.” I felt a lump in my throat. “Thank you， Bud，” I said. “I’m glad you understand.” I smiled through tears， so grateful that our frozen Meatball was going to be all right and for the important lesson he’d taught my son about loving others enough to protect them， whether they want us to or not.

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔，证之以例
如何解答观点态度类听力题
观点态度类听力题主要考查对说话者的意图、观点和态度的把握，通过对话双方所表达的对某人或某事的好恶、赞成等看法，来检测学生的分析判断能力。设题多是用what和how开头的特殊疑问句，选项则是表示观点态度的形容词。
有的观点态度是在对话中明确表达出来的，这类题可在听录音时直接捕捉到题目答案的信息词；有些则是隐含在对话的字里行间，需要学生自己揣摩、推断。此时可借助一些提示词和关键词进行判断，如I think ...； It seemed to me that ...； As far as I’m concerned， I could say that ...； It is/sounds true that ...等。同时还要注意表示否定、转折和虚拟等含义的提示词。
此类题常见的设问方式如下：
What can we say about ...？
What is the man’s/woman’s attitude towards ...？
What is the man’s/woman’s opinion of ...？
What does the man/woman think of/find ...？
What does the man/woman mean ...？
How does the man/woman feel/think about the ...？
【典例】 How does the man like the skirt？
A.He doesn’t like the colour.
B.He likes it very much.
C.He has no idea about it.
【听力材料】
W：Dad， what do you think of my new skirt？ Do you like it？
M：Oh， it’s very lovely， darling.
W：Oh， dad.Thank you.
【分析】 此段对话比较简单，女儿问父亲对她新裙子的看法，父亲回答说：“Oh， it’s very lovely， darling.”这句话很明确地表明父亲觉得她的裙子还不错。故答案为B。

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY？ This morning， I saw the shocking headline：“Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”.In the article， various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.Hence， we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.[1]The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident， but the families of the deceased said it was not enough.Nevertheless， the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. [1]本句是一个并列复合句。并列连词but连接两个意义转折的分句。在第一个分句中，连接代词that引导一个宾语从句；在第二个分句中，said后面是一个省略了连接代词that的宾语从句。 [2]On the one hand， there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology.Probably the most well known are the Amish， a group of Christians living in rural America.They do not own or drive cars， watch TV， or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century， and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work， family， and community.They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large， polluted cities. [2]本句是一个复合句。句中who引导定语从句。 首段以报刊登载的“乘客死于无人驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事故”为报道开头，然后阐述了人们对这种新技术的质疑态度。使用情态动词should、 could表达了反对新技术者的主观态度。Hence和Nevertheless的使用，准确表达了反对者和生产商截然不同的明确态度。 第二段对于是否发展新技术，作者从正反两个方面进行阐述。本段主要是反对者的声音。On the one hand引出开头，使用了happily、 better、 even等词汇表明反对新技术者的态度。

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
On the other hand， new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example， the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters， which saves many lives.[3]Moreover， the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier， as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. [3]本句是一个主从复合句。句中的even if引导让步状语从句；主句中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面动词不定式的复合结构。 Personally， I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor， which I wear all the time， has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course， when new technology changes the way we live， it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless， I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 第三段主要讲述新技术的好处。On the other hand起到承上启下的作用，Moreover起到了语意递进的作用。使用了everywhere、 potential、 easily、 easier等词汇突出了新技术带来的好处。 第四段表明作者的观点，用Personally、 Of course、 Nevertheless串起了整个语段。使用了benefited quite a lot、 best、 positive等词汇来表达自己的观点。
【参考译文】
我们应该抗拒新技术吗？
今天早晨，我看到了这条令人震惊的新闻标题：“乘客死于无人驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事故”。在这篇报道中，多位人士表示公众应该反对发展无人驾驶汽车这一想法。他们说，有些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能会造成危险。所以，我们应停止仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报道称汽车公司已经为此次事故道歉，但是死者家属表示这还不够。然而，该公司仍然声称，不久的将来，大多数人都会乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行。
一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人，在没有新技术的情况下依然过着幸福的生活。也许最广为人知的要数阿曼门诺派——生活在美国乡村的一个基督教群体。他们既不拥有汽车，也不开车；不看电视，也不使用互联网。自十八世纪以来，他们基本上过着农夫的生活，而且在遥远的将来，他们的生活方式可能依然如此。他们提倡简朴的生活，强调实干、家庭和社区。他们认为，这样的生活要好过关注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活。甚至有人认为，阿曼门诺派的生活质量更高，因为他们生活在自然的环境中，怡然自得，而不是生活在污染严重的大城市里。
另一方面，多年来，新技术给世界各地的人们带来了种种好处。例如，最新的追踪天气的计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种预警，挽救了许多生命。此外，互联网使朋友和家人即使天各一方也能轻松保持联系。互联网还使人们在生活中更加容易找到机会，因为它让人们能够通过社交媒体建立更大的朋友圈。
就个人而言，技术进步让我受益匪浅。我通过一个社交网络找到了现在从事的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直随身佩戴的健康监护仪也帮助我达到了生活中的最佳状态。当然，当新技术改变我们的生活方式时，它可能会产生出一个让人担惊受怕的前景。然而，我将始终着眼于变革的积极一面，接受变革，而不是抗拒变革。

听力材料：
（Text 1）
W：Would you like to tell me what is a nanobot？
M：Certainly.A nanobot is a microscopic robot.
W：What can it do for us？
M：While they are still in the development stage， it is thought that in the future， nanobots can be used within the human body.
W：Wow， it is a fantasy.Can you tell me in detail， please？
M：No problem.It can deliver carefully targeted doses of medicine to areas in the body that need them.
W：It is such exciting news to us human beings.
（Text 2）
M：Have you heard of the UA HealthBox？
W：No.What’s that？
M：It was created by the company Under Armour.It’s a new set of three smart devices — a wristband， a scale， and a heart-rate monitor.They all record information about you when you exercise， which is then collected in the app， UA Record.
W：I like that all of the information goes into one app， but it doesn’t sound very different from other products that are already out there.
M：Check this out.You can touch the screen of the wristband to signal that you’re starting or ending an activity.Then the scale measures your body fat and weight， while the monitor tracks your heart rate.You wear the heart monitor on a band around your chest.The best part about it is that you can set goals and measure your progress.
W：How much does it cost？
M：The whole set is around 400， but you can just buy the wristband if you want， which is 180.
W：Wow， that’s not exactly a bargain， is it？
（Text 3）
M：Would you consider buying a self-driving car？
W：I don’t know.I guess I’d have to research a bit more about them before making that decision.
M：It will probably be a while before we are able to buy them， anyway.We might be seeing self-driving trucks on the road pretty soon， though.Google wants to change the commercial trucking industry.Right now， there are over three million truck drivers in the US， so adding self-driving trucks would likely take away a lot of jobs.But many drivers might still be able to accompany their trucks， and get a full night’s sleep in the process.
W：Truck drivers cause a lot of accidents on the freeway， so I think I’d like to see self-driving trucks.It would make me feel safer on the road.
M：Really？I think it might make me feel less safe.A human driver is much more likely to react quickly to something unexpected.
（Text 4）
Most houses take months to build， but your next house could be constructed in just a day， using a 3D printer.A new company in California has built a 400-square-foot house in only 24 hours.The house was printed as a whole， rather than in pieces that require to be put together.It only cost 10，000 to make， including the building material， electrical wires， lights， and everything in the bathroom and kitchen.This is not the first printed house， of course. A printed castle was produced in Russia， and it only took 24 hours to produce.Several years ago， a Chinese company built ten small houses in 24 hours.It only cost 5，000 to build one of the Chinese houses， probably because they were made from a mix of construction waste and glass pieces.3D printed commercial homes would still be cheaper.But engineers are excited about how this technology could be used.Small houses could be built from recycled material in developing countries， and someday， buildings like these could even be put on the moon.Mars might be a little too far away， for remote construction， though，even if a 3D printer could be sent there.

听力材料：
（Text 1）
W：Would you like to tell me what is a nanobot？
M：Certainly.A nanobot is a microscopic robot.
W：What can it do for us？
M：While they are still in the development stage， it is thought that in
the future， nanobots can be used within the human body.
W：Wow， it is a fantasy.Can you tell me in detail， please？
M：No problem.It can deliver carefully targeted doses of medicine to
areas in the body that need them.
W：It is such exciting news to us human beings.
（Text 2）
M：Have you heard of the UA HealthBox？
W：No.What’s that？
M：It was created by the company Under Armour.It’s a new set of
three smart devices — a wristband， a scale， and a heart-rate
monitor.They all record information about you when you exercise，
which is then collected in the app， UA Record.
W：I like that all of the information goes into one app， but it doesn’t
sound very different from other products that are already out there.
M：Check this out.You can touch the screen of the wristband to signal
that you’re starting or ending an activity.Then the scale measures your
body fat and weight， while the monitor tracks your heart rate.You
wear the heart monitor on a band around your chest.The best part
about it is that you can set goals and measure your progress.
W：How much does it cost？
M：The whole set is around 400， but you can just buy the
wristband if you want， which is 180.
W：Wow， that’s not exactly a bargain， is it？
（Text 3）
M：Would you consider buying a self-driving car？
W：I don’t know.I guess I’d have to research a bit more about them
before making that decision.
M：It will probably be a while before we are able to buy them，
anyway.We might be seeing self-driving trucks on the road pretty
soon， though.Google wants to change the commercial trucking
industry.Right now， there are over three million truck drivers in the
US， so adding self-driving trucks would likely take away a lot of
jobs.But many drivers might still be able to accompany their trucks，
and get a full night’s sleep in the process.
W：Truck drivers cause a lot of accidents on the freeway， so I think
I’d like to see self-driving trucks.It would make me feel safer on the
road.
M：Really？I think it might make me feel less safe.A human driver is
much more likely to react quickly to something unexpected.
Most houses take months to build， but your next house could be
constructed in just a day， using a 3D printer.A new company in
California has built a 400-square-foot house in only 24 hours.The
house was printed as a whole， rather than in pieces that require to be
put together.It only cost 10，000 to make， including the building
material， electrical wires， lights， and everything in the bathroom
and kitchen.This is not the first printed house， of course.
（Text 4）
A printed castle was produced in Russia， and it only took 24 hours to
produce.Several years ago， a Chinese company built ten small houses in
24 hours.It only cost 5，000 to build one of the Chinese houses，
probably because they were made from a mix of construction waste and
glass pieces.3D printed commercial homes would still be cheaper.But
engineers are excited about how this technology could be used.Small
houses could be built from recycled material in developing countries， and
someday， buildings like these could even be put on the moon.Mars might
be a little too far away， for remote construction， though，even if a 3D
printer could be sent there.

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔，证之以例
如何解答观点态度类听力题
观点态度类听力题主要考查对说话者的意图、观点和态度的把
握，通过对话双方所表达的对某人或某事的好恶、赞成等看法，来检
测学生的分析判断能力。设题多是用what和how开头的特殊疑问句，
选项则是表示观点态度的形容词。
有的观点态度是在对话中明确表达出来的，这类题可在听录音时
直接捕捉到题目答案的信息词；有些则是隐含在对话的字里行间，需
要学生自己揣摩、推断。此时可借助一些提示词和关键词进行判断，
如I think ...； It seemed to me that ...； As far as I’m concerned， I could
say that ...； It is/sounds true that ...等。同时还要注意表示否定、转折
和虚拟等含义的提示词。
此类题常见的设问方式如下：
What can we say about ...？
What is the man’s/woman’s attitude towards ...？
What is the man’s/woman’s opinion of ...？
What does the man/woman think of/find ...？
What does the man/woman mean ...？
How does the man/woman feel/think about the ...？
A. He doesn’t like the colour.
B. He likes it very much.
C. He has no idea about it.
【典例】 How does the man like the skirt？
【听力材料】
W：Dad， what do you think of my new skirt？ Do you like it？
M：Oh， it’s very lovely， darling.
W：Oh， dad.Thank you.
【分析】 此段对话比较简单，女儿问父亲对她新裙子的看法，父亲
回答说：“Oh， it’s very lovely， darling.”这句话很明确地表明父亲
觉得她的裙子还不错。故答案为B。

Step 1 品教材课文
SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY？
This morning， I saw the shocking headline：“Passenger Dies When Car
Crashes in Driverless Mode”.In the article， various people said that the
public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that
some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be
dangerous.Hence， we should cease accepting technology just because it
is new.[1]The newspaper reported that the car company had already
apologised for the accident， but the families of the deceased said it was
not enough.Nevertheless， the company still claimed that most people
would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.
[1]本句是一个并列复合句。并列连词but连接两个意义转折的分
句。在第一个分句中，连接代词that引导一个宾语从句；在第二个分
句中，said后面是一个省略了连接代词that的宾语从句。
[2]On the one hand， there are many different groups of people
around the world who live happily in the absence of new
technology.Probably the most well known are the Amish， a group of
Christians living in rural America.They do not own or drive cars， watch
TV， or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th
century， and they will probably be living the same way in the distant
future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work，
family， and community.They think that is better than caring about
luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.It could even be
argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and
appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large， polluted
cities.
[2]本句是一个复合句。句中who引导定语从句。
On the other hand， new technology has provided people everywhere
with many benefits over the years.For example， the latest weather-
tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential
natural disasters， which saves many lives.[3]Moreover， the Internet
has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if
they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also made finding
opportunities in life much easier， as it allows people to make larger
networks of friends through using social media.
[3]本句是一个主从复合句。句中的even if引导让步状语从句；主
句中it为形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面动词不定式的复合结构。
Personally， I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I
found my career as an AI designer through a social media network.My
health monitor， which I wear all the time， has also helped me get into
the best shape of my life.Of course， when new technology changes the
way we live， it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless， I will always look
on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.
Step 2 析写作手法
首段以报刊登载的“乘客死于无人驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事
故”为报道开头，然后阐述了人们对这种新技术的质疑态度。使
用情态动词should、 could表达了反对新技术者的主观态度。
Hence和Nevertheless的使用，准确表达了反对者和生产商截然不
同的明确态度。
第二段对于是否发展新技术，作者从正反两个方面进行阐述。本
段主要是反对者的声音。On the one hand引出开头，使用了happily、
better、 even等词汇表明反对新技术者的态度。
第三段主要讲述新技术的好处。On the other hand起到承上启下的
作用，Moreover起到了语意递进的作用。使用了everywhere、
potential、 easily、 easier等词汇突出了新技术带来的好处。
第四段表明作者的观点，用Personally、 Of course、 Nevertheless
串起了整个语段。使用了benefited quite a lot、 best、 positive等词汇
来表达自己的观点。
【参考译文】
我们应该抗拒新技术吗？
今天早晨，我看到了这条令人震惊的新闻标题：“乘客死于无人
驾驶模式下汽车的撞车事故”。在这篇报道中，多位人士表示公众应
该反对发展无人驾驶汽车这一想法。他们说，有些技术进步是不必要
的，甚至可能会造成危险。所以，我们应停止仅仅因为技术是新的就
接受它。该报道称汽车公司已经为此次事故道歉，但是死者家属表示
这还不够。然而，该公司仍然声称，不久的将来，大多数人都会乘坐
无人驾驶汽车出行。
一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人，在没有新技术的情况下依
然过着幸福的生活。也许最广为人知的要数阿曼门诺派——生活在美
国乡村的一个基督教群体。他们既不拥有汽车，也不开车；不看电
视，也不使用互联网。自十八世纪以来，他们基本上过着农夫的生
活，而且在遥远的将来，他们的生活方式可能依然如此。他们提倡简
朴的生活，强调实干、家庭和社区。他们认为，这样的生活要好过关
注奢侈品或追随富人和名人的生活。甚至有人认为，阿曼门诺派的生
活质量更高，因为他们生活在自然的环境中，怡然自得，而不是生活
在污染严重的大城市里。
另一方面，多年来，新技术给世界各地的人们带来了种种好处。
例如，最新的追踪天气的计算机程序为人们提供潜在自然灾害的种种
预警，挽救了许多生命。此外，互联网使朋友和家人即使天各一方也
能轻松保持联系。互联网还使人们在生活中更加容易找到机会，因为
它让人们能够通过社交媒体建立更大的朋友圈。
就个人而言，技术进步让我受益匪浅。我通过一个社交网络找到
了现在从事的人工智能设计师的职业。我一直随身佩戴的健康监护仪
也帮助我达到了生活中的最佳状态。当然，当新技术改变我们的生活
方式时，它可能会产生出一个让人担惊受怕的前景。然而，我将始终
着眼于变革的积极一面，接受变革，而不是抗拒变革。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

（2024·临沂高二上学期期末考试）Electric vehicles （EVs） are a
strong weapon in the world’s efforts against global warming.But the effects
of EVs depend on what country you are in.
The Radiant Energy Group （REG） tried to learn the difference in
gas emissions caused by a gasoline vehicle and from charging an electric
vehicle.The study collected statistics on the emissions caused by charging a
Tesla Model 3 to drive 100 kilometers with the emissions coming from an
average gasoline car driven the same distance.
Countries where charging an electric vehicle is cleaner than driving a
gasoline-powered car use a lot of hydroelectric， nuclear or solar power.
Sales of electric cars are rising the fastest in Europe.Data from REG
suggests that EVs in Poland and Kosovo actually create more carbon
emissions because their electric systems depend so much on coal.In other
European countries， however， EVs result in reduced emissions.
The countries with the biggest carbon gas savings from EVs use a lot
of nuclear and hydroelectric power.First was Switzerland at 100 percent
carbon savings over gasoline vehicles.Next was Norway at 98 percent，
France at 96 percent， Sweden at 95 percent and Austria 93 percent.The
research was based on public data on Europe’s electricity usage and the
European Environment Agency （ EEA ）.
The countries which showed the lowest savings were Cyprus at 4
percent， Serbia 15 percent， Estonia 35 percent and the Netherlands 37
percent.
EEA
Germany and Spain create a lot of electricity from the sun and
wind.But the sun and wind do not add to a country’s electricity system
equally throughout the day.
For this reason， the amount of carbon emissions saved by driving an
EV depends on the time of day it is being charged.Charging in the
afternoon， when there is more sun and wind， saves 16 to 18 percent
more carbon than at night when electricity systems are more likely to be
using gas or coal.
Automakers including General Motors， Stellantis and Volkswagen
have set targets to sell mainly electric vehicles in Europe in the coming
years.US car manufacturer General Motors said it would have all new
electric cars in two years.

（2024·邯郸十校高二下学期联考）In 2005， Calvin Echevarria
was on top of his game.He had two jobs， bought a house and was raising
a 3-year-old daughter with his wife.But suddenly， it felt like it was all
being taken away.He could no longer work as a FedEx driver because he
was going blind.
He was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy.“All I care is about my
wife and my daughter，” he told CBS News.“I want to see my daughter
grow up.”
Echevarria at first worked on developing independent living skills like
walking with a cane.But he wanted to learn more — like skills that would
be useful for a job.That’s when he found Lighthouse Works in Orlando， a
company that creates jobs for the visually impaired and blind.
“Seven out of ten Americans who are visually impaired are not in the
workforce，” said Kyle Johnson， the president and CEO of Lighthouse
Works.“And we knew that people who are blind are the most highly
educated disability group on the planet.So， we created Lighthouse Works
to help them to work and contribute.”
What began as Lighthouse Central Florida in 1976 has evolved.The
organization originally focused on helping the blind and visually impaired
learn independent living skills and enter the workforce.But in 2011， they
created Lighthouse Works in Orlando， their own company that provides
call center and supply chain services and hires people who are blind or
visually impaired.At Lighthouse Works， nearly half of the employees are
visually impaired or blind.
Echevarria said working in a fully accessible office space， with
other visually impaired people who can relate to him， is an added
benefit.“It gives me a purpose.It makes me feel better because I can
actually be proud of myself，” he said.His original worry was not being
able to be there for his daughter.Now， he’s her mentor， because she’s an
employee at Lighthouse Works as well.

Shortly， another notice was posted beneath it. It read， “Boy， you

How do you measure decency （体面）？Or respect for another

Bingo. I called her 20 .

What Will Schools Be Like in the Future？
With the rapid development of science and technology， everything
has been changing with each passing day.Many people are wondering what
schools will be like in the future.
First of all， human teachers and robots will work together.The latter
won’t take the place of the former； instead， they will serve as teachers’
assistants and do some simple jobs， such as correcting homework and
disciplining students.Secondly， there will be virtual classrooms.That is to
say， students can have lessons both at school or at home.Thirdly，
students’ learning will become more personalized.Each student will get
learning materials that are suitable to them.
I firmly believe everything will become easier and better thanks to
science and technology.Education is no exception.
Ⅳ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
“I have to be home earlier than all my friends，” my teenage son，
Jordan， said. “I’m seventeen years old， and I still have a curfew （宵
禁）. Legally， I’m practically an adult.”
“You’re not an adult，” I said. “You’re still in high school. I love
you， and I want to protect you. As long as you live at home， there will
be certain rules to follow. But those rules exist because I love you， not
because I’m trying to control you.”
He rolled his eyes and walked away. I felt tears prick my eyes.
Parenting teenagers was so challenging. How could I make Jordan see that
I only wanted the best for him？
We have a black pet cat named Meatball and Jordan likes it very
much. Meatball just likes being able to come and go as he pleases.
One night in January， temperatures were unusually low. Meatball
stood at the door， meowing to go outside.
“It’s too cold out there， Bud，” I said. “You’ll freeze.” He
stared at me and meowed again.
The next morning， I couldn’t find Meatball. I asked Jordan if he had
seen him. Jordan nodded. “I let him out last night.” My mouth dropped
open. “He was outside all night？ It was freezing！”
Jordan shrugged，“He was sitting by the door， meowing. I could
tell he wanted to go out.”
I grabbed my coat and rushed outside， praying the cat had survived
the night. It took me several minutes to find him curled （蜷作一团）
under a car. I picked him up， unsure if he was alive or dead. As I carried
him into the house， I saw him open his eyes a bit. “Thank goodness，”
I murmured. I called the vet （兽医） immediately and the next few hours
were scary.
“I’m sorry， Buddy，” I heard Jordan say over and over again.
“Mom was right. Even though you didn’t want to， I should have made
you stay inside where it was safe.”
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式作答。
As I drove to the vet’s office， Jordan sat in the back， holding
Meatball inside his coat for warmth.
On the drive home， surprisingly， Jordan apologised to me.
参考范文：
As I drove to the vet’s office， Jordan sat in the back， holding
Meatball inside his coat for warmth. I could hear him talking to the cat，
apologising in soft tones. He was clearly near tears. After examining him，
the vet determined that Meatball had a mild case of frostbite on his paws，
ears， and tail， but no permanent damage. “But this could have been
bad，” the vet cautioned. “This little guy needs to stay inside
overnight， whether he wants to or not.”
On the drive home， surprisingly， Jordan apologised to me.“I’m
sorry for how I’ve acted about my curfew，” he said. “I know you’re
doing it because you love me and want to keep me safe.” I felt a lump in
my throat. “Thank you， Bud，” I said. “I’m glad you understand.” I
smiled through tears， so grateful that our frozen Meatball was going to be
all right and for the important lesson he’d taught my son about loving
others enough to protect them， whether they want us to or not.
谢谢观看！
