Here’s what impressed editors, reporters and producers the most in 2019. Lumos Matrix I recently bought a Lumos Matrix helmet (头盔) ($229) with built-in lights to make riding my bike at night a lot safer and less stressful. It’s a regular pain point for bikers like me to make sure absent-minded drivers see you, especially when it’s dark. This definitely helps. — Matt Mcfarland, Writer Goodreads app 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 3 页 共 9 页 Although this isn’t a gift, the free Goodreads app is a gamechanger. At the beginning of 2019, I promised myself I’d read at least one new book every month. I set a goal of 12 books on Goodreads and used it to track my progress, keep a list of books I’m interested in and check out what friends and others on the app were recommending. I read 35 books this year! (That’s up from five books last year.) Goodreads feels like one of the rare feel-good social networks. — Kaya Yurieff, Tech Reporter Ember coffee cup I drink my coffee slowly so it has routinely cooled by the time I get halfway through it. For my birthday, my mum bought me a cup ($99), which keeps my coffee warm until I finish it without trips to the microwave for reheating. I can also set the specific temperature I want. It makes my mornings so much easier. — Millie Dent, Intern 21. What is the main advantage of Lumos Matrix helmet? A. Helping drivers concentrate. B. Managing the bad weather. C. Making bikers less painful. D. Making night riding safer. 22. What does the writer mean by referring to the Goodreads app as “a gamechanger”? A. It inspires readers to read more through interactions. B. It limits the number of books a reader can read. C. It provides readers with free internet games. D. It changes some readers’ reading rules. 23. Which of the following can best describe Ember coffee cup? A. Eco-friendly. B. Expensive. C. Convenient. D. Simple. B At England’s University of Plymouth, Professor Eduardo Miranda has been programming pairs of robots to compose music. Miranda’s robots have simple “vocal cords” (声带) and are programmed to sing and to listen to each other. The robots’ unique warbling sounds (颤音) do not perfectly match the human voice, but each machine is exactly sharing music with the other in a new and unique way. Each robot is equipped with speakers, software that mimics the human voice, a mouth that opens as it “sings,” a microphone for ears, and a camera for eyes. The robots also move. Miranda hopes that by studying his robot vocalists, he can discover something about how and why humans create, perform, and listen to music. When the robots sing, first one robot makes six random sounds. Its partner responds with more sounds. The first robot analyzes the sounds to see if their sequences ( 序 列 ) are similar. If they are, it nods its head and commits the sounds to memory, and the second robot notices and “memorizes” the musical sequence, too. If the first robot thinks the sounds are too different, it shakes its head and both robots ignore the sounds. Then the process continues. Miranda set up an experiment in which he left the two robots alone in his study for two weeks. When he returned, his little warblers had, by imitating each other, not only shared notes but combined them. The product of their cooperation was far from symphonic, but the robots had begun to combine the notes into their own self- developed “songs”. With the help of his warbling robots, one of Miranda’s goals is to create music that no human would ever compose. Miranda believes the robots are ideal for this purpose because they would not be influenced by any existing musical styles or rules. 24. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “mimics” in Paragraph 2? A. Controls. B. Copies. C. Substitutes. D. Interrupts. 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 4 页 共 9 页 25. What did the two robots do during Miranda’s experiment? A. They ignored the unique sound. B. They interacted with each other. C. They learned to sing better than humans. D. They committed random sounds to memory. 26. What does Miranda want his robots to do? A. Sing as well as humans do. B. Memorize a variety of music. C. Create new styles of music. D. Promote traditional musical styles. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Experiments by Miranda. B. Special songs. C. Future robots. D. Music by robots. C George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker, not an artist. Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure, Mr. Nakashima rejected the label of artist. For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs, tables, and cabinets. Nakashima had a clear goal. He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible. Even making a box was an act of creation, because it produced an object that had never existed before. Initially Nakashima used local wood, sometimes from his own property. Later, he traveled to seek out English oak, Persian walnut, African zebra wood and Indian teak. He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down. Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again. Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards, but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots ( 节 疤 ) and cracks. These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life. He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful. One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter, Mira, to use when she sat at the table for meals. The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions. Another famous piece, the Conoid chair, has two legs supported by bladelike feet. Always, Nakashima’s designs were precise and graceful, marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood. As the years passed, Nakashima’s reputation grew and his work received many awards. His children Mira and Kevin, now adults, joined the team of crafts-people in their father’s studio. Nakashima’s dream of integrating work and family had come true. 28. Which of the following best describes Nakashima? A. Generous and outgoing. B. Honest and simple. C. Capable and friendly. D. Creative and modest. 29. Why was Nakashima called a national treasure? A. His art work made trees live again. B. He used precious wood materials. C. His chairs were beautifully designed. D. He was devoted to making furniture. 30. What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs? A. He made chairs of the same style. B. He loved his work and family. C. He sought for a simple life and art. D. He was lost in researching the wood. 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 5 页 共 9 页 31. What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin? A. They had an art studio of their own. B. They still lacked the ability to create art works. C. They shared a common interest with their father. D. They enjoyed the same reputation with their father. D A drug designed entirely by artificial intelligence is about to enter clinical human trials for the first time. The drug, which is intended to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)(强迫症), was discovered using AI systems from Oxford-based biotech company Exscientia. While it would usually take around four and a half years to get a drug to this stage of development, Exscientia says that by using the AI tools it’s taken less than 12 months. The drug, known as DSP-1181, was created by using algorithms (算法) to examine potential compounds (化 合物), checking them against a huge database of numbers, including a patient’s genetic factors. Speaking to the BBC, Exscientia chief executive Professor Andrew Hopkins described the trials as a “key milestone in drug discovery” and noted that there are “billions” of decisions needed to find the right molecules (分子) for a drug, making their eventual creation a “huge decision.” With AI, however, “the beauty of the algorithms is that they are unknowable, so can be applied to any disease.” We’ve already seen multiple examples of AI being used to diagnose illness and analyze patient data, so using it to engineer drug treatment is an obvious progression of its place in medicine. But the AI-created drugs do bring about some relevant questions. Will patients be comfortable taking medicine designed by a machine? How will these drugs differ from those developed by humans alone? Who will make the rules for the use of AI in drug research? Hopkins and his team hope that these and a great many other questions will be explored in the trials, which will begin in March. 32. What is special about the drug designed by AI? A. It’s a better cure for OCD. B. Its development takes less time. C. It has no side effect on humans. D. It doesn’t need clinical human trials. 33. Which is a key factor in creating the drug according to Paragraph 2? A. Trials. B. Molecules. C. Compounds. D. Algorithms. 34. How does Hopkins feel about the way of drug creation? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Disappointed. D. Optimistic. 35. What can be the best title for the text? A. AI-designed Drug to Be on Trial B. An Example in Medical Trials C. A Creation in AI Development D. Medical Trials by AI 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Few things feel as painful as rejection. Rejection means not being invited to a friend’s party. Rejection means having your actions criticized. Rejection means failure when you’re trying to sell your idea. Every “no” indicates a door closed to you. 36 Developing your self-confidence is key. Rejection is simply the reaction or opinion of another person. 37 Never think you are worthless or unlovable. What you should do is make a list of things you have done well or contributions you have made. Review them every day. Fill your nighttime and early morning brain with confidence. 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 6 页 共 9 页 Rejection will enhance whatever negative things you say to yourself. Even the most successful and confident people feel downhearted when rejected, but most of them never tell themselves how terrible they are. 38 Make sure what you say to yourself builds yourself up instead of tearing yourself down. 39 Instead, they view it as an opportunity to further understand human relationships and inner strength. They avoid the pain of rejection and put rejection into context. Using rejection to your advantage involves looking on every blow as a learning experience. It also involves learning and growing from negative voice. 40 You can feel the pain as you like, crying or locking yourself in, but don’t let it become a long-term visitor. It is wise for you to respond positively and effectively. A. Rejection is a learning experience. B. So you should practice positive self-talk. C. It’s normal to feel upset about rejection. D. It’s powerless without your cooperation. E. Therefore, it is vital to develop effective responses. F. Rejection is beneficial to those who make full use of it. G. Those who transform rejection understand it is not about experiencing loss. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共三节，满分 55 分） 第一节 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项， 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Biking through my PhD Overcoming my initial struggles in the Netherlands to start my PhD has been like riding a bike.

It wasn’t until the next day that Mr. Smith found out his intellectually disabled boy, Micheal, had been found in a Winnipeg garbage bin as temperatures dipped to -15°C. Mr. Smith said his son had been beaten by two men, thrown in the Dumpster and left to freeze. He was found a few hours later by a woman who let him out. “I was very angry with the guys who would do this to my son,” Mr. Smith said in an interview Thursday. “You can see he’s a harmless child. He doesn’t talk much. He keeps to himself and two men have hurt him.” 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 8 页 共 9 页 The young teenager wasn’t seriously hurt, but Mr. Smith said he’s not letting him walk home alone anymore. The father’s faith in humanity is a little shaken. Mr. Smith said he couldn’t believe there were people out there who would pick on a young boy simply walking home from school. He’s only been able to get bits and pieces of what happened from Micheal who is “too scared to talk about it”． “We are sure we are living in a society that we all care about our children. But we feel so sad and angry with that. For the children like my son! We can’t help them? We can’t protect them?” said the father. Nicole Langlois, who works nearby, said that she heard weak cries for help as she walked past the large garbage container, but was not sure where they were coming from. So a few hours later she went back again to the garbage container and tried to find what happened. To her great surprise，she found the boy sleeping and covered with garbage.“All he kept saying was, ‘Help. They pushed me in here,’” Langlois said. “I kept trying to talk to him and ask him who and he didn’t talk back to me.” As soon as she helped him out, he ran away and headed for home a few blocks away. 注意： 1．所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2．应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3．续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4．续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1： “Words can’t describe how grateful the family is to Langlois,” Mr. Smith said. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： The family contacted police, who are investigating. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ 2019-2020 高二年级第二学期期中考试英语试卷 第 9 页 共 9 页 高二年级第二学期期中考试 英语答案 第一部分：听力（每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 1—5 ABABC 6—10 BBAAB 11—15 CACAC 16—20 ABBCA 第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，每题 2 分，满分 40 分） 21—25 DACBB 26—30 CDDAB 31—35 CBDBA 36—40 EDBGC 第三部分： 第一节 完形填空（每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 41—45 BCADC 46—50 CBADC 51—55 DABCA 56—60 BABDC 第二节：单词拼写（每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 61. compromises 62. superior 63. justice 64. conveniently 65. applying 66. distinguishes 67. accompanied 68. classified 69.

She is so kind that she rescued my son from the garbage container. And we have gained our faith in humanity again.” And the family decided not to let Micheal walk home by himself because they are afraid the bad men hurt him again. The family contacted police ， who are investigating. Micheal is not able to talk to the police what happened to him or who did this to him. The family is appealing to anyone who might have seen anything. The family are sure there are many kind people in society, where people will take good care of all the children, whether they are intellectually disabled or not. The police said they would try their best to find the bad men who carried out such terrible actions and punish them.
