高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

One afternoon I was driving along the narrow dirt road. Ahead of me was a small red car with two people in the front seats. You can’t go very fast on a dirt road so I was driving carefully after it.

As we did, I began to watch the car in front of me. The driver was a middle-aged man with thinning hair, and beside him sat a woman with long, wavy blond hair. I could see the man’s face because he kept turning and talking and talking to the woman, but I couldn’t see her face because she never turned to look at him and answer.

As we drove along, the man turned again and again, talking to the woman. He leaned(靠) toward her and he smiled. But she sat without movement or response, staring straight ahead. She never once looked in his direction, and I wondered why.

I supposed of course that they were fighting. The long blond hair suggested someone beautiful. I thought she might be too coldhearted, the way a beautiful woman can usually be. I thought that the man might be her husband, or her lover, and that he was pleading with her. I thought she was turning cold to him: perhaps she was ending things completely, and he was trying to win her back.

We both slowed down to cross a little stone bridge, and once past it, on the straight, he turned again to her. I wondered then if I’d gotten it wrong. The man was definitely middle-aged, and the woman’s long, thick blond hair suggested youth. Perhaps the man was not her husband but her father. Maybe she was sitting silently still, not heartlessly. Or maybe she was weeping and unable to look at her father.

I watched them closely, trying to be sure. The man turned to her, smiling. She still did not look at him. We reached the stop sign at the end of Mount Holly Road, and the man turned once more to the blond woman. This time, at last, she turned toward him. She leaned over and licked his nose with her tongue. She was a golden retriever, a large dog used in hunting.

1.The real relationship of the two sitting in the front seats of the small red car is _______.

A. a husband and an angry wife

B. a loving father and a weeping daughter

C. a master and a big dog

D. lovers in quarrel

2.We can infer from the text that______.

A. the author followed the man out of curiosity at the very beginning

B. the man couldn’t match the woman beside him

C. the man loved the one sitting beside him very much

D. the man was a good husband or a good father

3.The underlined sentence in the text means_____.

A. he was begging her

B. he was playing with her

C. he was quarrelling with her

D. he was joking with her

4.Which is the most suitable title for the text?

A. A Poor Middle-aged Man

B. An Unexpected Companion

C. A Beautiful Proud Woman

D. An Unforgettable Experience

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When a driver slams on the brakes to avoid hitting a pedestrian crossing the road illegally, she is making a moral decision that shifts risk from the pedestrian to the people in the car. Self-driving cars might soon have to make such ethical (道德的)judgments on their own — but settling on a universal moral code for the vehicles could be a tough task, suggests a survey.

The largest ever survey of machine ethics, called the Moral Machine, laid out 13 possible situations in which someone’s death was unavoidable. Respondents were asked to choose who to spare in situations that involved a mix of variables: young or old, rich or poor, more people or fewer. Within 18 months, the online quiz had recorded 40 million decisions made by people from 233 countries and territories.

When the researchers analysed these answers, they found that the nations could be divided into three groups. One contains North America and several European nations where Christianity has been the dominant (占支配地位的)religion; another includes countries such as Japan, Indonesia and Pakistan, with strong Confucian or Islamic traditions. A third group consists of countries in Central and South America, such as Colombia and Brazil. The first group showed a stronger preference for sacrificing older lives to save younger ones than did the second group, for example.

The researchers also identified relationships between social and economic factors in a country. They found that people from relatively wealthy countries with strong institutions, such as Finland and Japan, more often chose to hit people who stepped into traffic illegally than did respondents in nations with weaker institutions, such as Nigeria or Pakistan.

People rarely face such moral dilemmas, and some cities question whether the possible situations posed in the online quiz are relevant to the ethical and practical questions surrounding driverless cars. But the researchers argue that the findings reveal cultural differences that governments and makers of self-driving cars must take into account if they want the vehicles to gain public acceptance.

At least Barbara Wege, who heads a group working on autonomous-vehicle ethics at Audi in Ingolstadt, Germany, says such studies are valuable. Wege argues that self-driving cars would cause fewer accidents, proportionally, than human drivers do each year—but that people might focus more on events involving robots.

Surveys such as the Moral Machine can help to begin public discussions about these unavoidable accidents that might develop trust. “We need to come up with a social consensus,” she says, “about which risks we are willing to take.”

1.Why is it difficult to set universal moral rules for programming self-driving cars?

A. Social values always change with the times.

B. Moral choices vary between different cultures.

C. Drivers have a preference for sacrificing the weak.

D. Car makers are faced with decisions of life or death.

2.The researchers conducted the study by_____.

A. using a massive online quiz worldwide

B. comparing different cultures and customs

C. dividing the respondents into three groups

D. performing a series of controlled experiments

3.According to the study, in which country are drivers more likely to hit a pedestrian crossing the road illegally?

A. Nigeria　　 B. Colombia

C. Finland　　 D. Indonesia

4.Barbara Wege would probably agree that _____.

A. Self-driving cars will greatly improve the traffic environment

B. Accidents caused by self-driving cars might receive more attention

C. Problems involving self-driving cars might shake the public trust in society

D. Car makers needn’t take the risk of solving self-driving car ethical dilemmas

During the school year many parents take on the role of driver as they drive their children from one lesson to another. Many of us want our children to have a little taste of everything, from organized sports to music, dance and more. But we can overdo it, leaving our children feeling a little burnt out, and according to parent educator Diane Loisie, it's their school work that suffers the most. "After school, if they're busy in a number of sporting events, besides they need to do their homework, then the time they'll feel sleepy is in the classroom. Your child needs free time. So if you're filling up that after school time, then it's during the day that they're going to be taking a break. "

Professor Claire McDermott agrees that there's a lot to be gained from sometimes putting those scheduled lessons and activities away. "Relaxing time is important for children. It's time just to do the things they want to do. A child can go up to their room, or they can play around. It doesn't look like productive time; parents certainly wouldn't be saying ‘Wow, are they ever learning things now?’  But this relaxing time gives both the body and the brain just a wonderful chance to relax after a day. It helps a child prepare for sleep, and it also helps to understand the learning that's gone on that day. "

It's hard to prevent signing our kids up for some activities and lessons. After all, many of us want our children to have a head start in life and the chance to join in great activities in the arts or sports is a part of that. However, Loisie feels that in the long run most children feel better with just a few key activities because it gives them an opportunity to master them. "When we get our children in too many activities because we want our children to experience everything, then what we're doing is setting them up not to be good at one thing or gaining a skill." So choose your children's activities wisely. It may be one of the best things you've ever done for your kids.

1. What is the biggest disadvantage for children to attend too many lessons after school?

A. They can get bored easily about everything.

B. They might have no time to do the homework.

C. They might not pay much attention to learning.

D. They can not easily focus on learning during the day.

2. What should we think of children's playing around aimlessly?

A. It is productive.

B. It is helpful.

C. It is a bad habit.

D. It is a waste of time.

3. Why should parents limit the activities our children attend?

A. Because children have no time.

B. Because children cannot learn many things.

C. Because children do not have enough sleep.

D. Because children cannot focus on too many activities.

4. What is the main idea of this passage?

A. Don't be children's drivers after school.

B. Choose activities for your children wisely.

C. Make your children learn as much as possible.

D. Let children learn something from various subjects.

We’ve all been there before: You’re driving down the road when suddenly a pothole(凹坑) seems to appear out of nowhere and sends the ______ jumping. Most people think potholes are_____, but artist Jim Bachor sees them as a canvas(画布) for his artwork.

Bachor uses the ______ art form of mosaic(马赛克) to create eye-catching, colorful images of famous artists like Aretha Franklin or simple everyday ______ like food. He even makes less-appealing visuals of insects.

Bachor was a graphic designer for 20 years before he began his ____ in mosaic. He regards an incidental trip to Europe as his motivation to change careers. While ______ in Italy, Bachor fell in love with Pompeii, the preserved ancient Roman city. A tour guide pointed out a mosaic, made of mainly glass and marble, and told Bachor, “Glass and marble don’t ______. So, this looks essentially the way the artist intended.” Bachor says, “That kind of staying power just ______ me so much.”

A year later Bachor returned to attend a mosaic class in Ravenna, Italy, to learn the proper way to ______ the ancient technique. Years after that, he mastered the technique. He ______ that mosaics can be just as significant today as the art form over 1,000 years ago. “I just saw that there was a(n) ______ to bring it into the new age as a contemporary subject,” he says.

So, Bachor decided to make a special piece of ______ for that pothole. He has ____ mosaic pothole art around Chicago, Detroit, New York City and even in Finland.
