So when World War II threw France into great danger, she decided to do whatever she could to help the nation that had given her so much.In 1940, when armed German troops marched into Paris, some French people founded a secret alliance (同盟), known as the French Resistance. The group worked for the defense of France by assisting the European and American armies in the fight against the Germans.As a member of the Resistance, Baker applied herself devotedly to the cause. The tasks she took up proved to be valuable. She collected coded messages written on her sheets of music and then relayed them to other members. At the same time, taking advantage of her fame, Baker provided shelter and goods for the Resistance members. It would have been dangerous if the Germans had found them.Bakers final task was critical. She made it her mission to entertain German politicians and army members, whom she lured (引诱) in with her promises of a good show. While pleasing them with her singing and dancing, Baker, equipped with a small notebook at these concerts, listened for and wrote down details about the war. She then sorted the details and turned in reports to the Resistance.Some thought Bakers fame would be a problem. The Germans knew who she was, but they didnt think she was smart enough to work for the Resistance. So she could get information from the Germans easily, which helped the Resistance and the French army save lives and win the war. Baker had a big influence on the Resistances work. When she died, the army and the French people held a special ceremony to honor her contribution.1. What happened when the Germans entered Paris?A. They sent messages in secret code.B. The French Resistance was set up.C. Armed French soldiers defeated them.D. They were attracted by Bakers music.2. What was an important task for Baker?A. Entertaining many fans.B. Providing shelter for the homeless.C. Writing messages in code.D. Giving reports to the Resistance.3.

C【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了法国最著名的女性Josephine Baker，当德国武装部队入侵巴黎时，她用自己的努力为French Resistance做出了巨大的贡献。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“In 1940, when armed German troops marched into Paris, some French people founded a secret alliance (同盟), known as the French Resistance.”（1940年，当德国武装部队进军巴黎时，一些法国人建立了一个秘密同盟，即French Resistance。）可知，当德国人进入巴黎时，French Resistance成立了。故选B项。【2题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段关键句“Bakers final task was critical.”（Baker最后的任务很关键。）和“While pleasing them with her singing and dancing, Baker, equipped with a small notebook at these concerts, listened for and wrote down details about the war. She then sorted the details and turned in reports to the Resistance.”（Baker一边用她的歌舞取悦他们，一边在音乐会上带着一个小笔记本，倾听并记录下战争的细节。然后她整理了细节，并向Resistance提交了报告。）可知，Baker的重要任务是利用给德国人表演歌舞的机会，倾听并记录下战争的细节，整理后以报告的方式交给Resistance。故选D项。【3题详解】推理判断题。根据第五段关键句“Baker had a big influence on the Resistances work. When she died, the army and the French people held a special ceremony to honor her contribution.”（Baker对Resistance的工作有很大的影响。她死后，军队和法国人民举行了一个特别的仪式来纪念她的贡献。）可知，Baker的努力对Resistance是有帮助的，在她死后，军队和法国人民用特别的仪式来纪念她的贡献，由此可推断出，她的工作得到了法国人民和军队的认可。故选C项。BOAKLAND, Calif. Facebook said on Thursday that it would allow many employees to work from home permanently.Mark Zuckerberg, Facebooks chief executive, told workers during a meeting that within a decade as many as half of the companys more than 48, 000 employees would work from home.“Its clear that the coronavirus has changed a lot about our lives, and that certainly includes the way that most of us work,” Mr. Zuckerberg said. “Coming out of this period, I expect that remote work is going to be a growing trend as well.”Facebooks decision, the first among techs biggest companies, is an obvious change for a business culture built around getting workers into large offices and keeping them there. Using free shuttle buses, free cafeterias and personal services like dry cleaning, tech companies have done as much as possible over the years to give employees little reason to go home, let alone avoid the office. If other large companies follow suit (仿效), tech employment could start to move from expensive centers like Silicon Valley, Seattle and New York.Tech executives have believed that person-to-person communication was a big part of the creativity that went into making popular products. Mr. Zuckerberg long worried that employees who worked remotely would lose productivity.In March, the coronavirus lockdown (封锁) forced companies to send employees home. Many tech companies, including Facebook, emptied their offices. Now, more than two months later, executives are discovering that their remote workers performed better than expected.Mr. Zuckerberg said the change could offer more benefits than inconveniences for the company. Allowing remote work will allow Facebook to attract valuable employees, reduce the climate influence caused by commutes (上下班) and expand the diversity of its work force, he said.4. According to Zuckerberg, which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Half of Facebooks employees have been working from home.B. The coronavirus is one of the factors leading to remote work.C. Employees work performance at home is beyond his expectation.D. There are more benefits of remote work than inconveniences caused by the change.5. What can be inferred from paragraph 4 and 5?A. Facebooks decision has influenced other companies.B. Tech companies offer different services to attract valuable employees.C. Remote work will lower tech companies cost.D. It is believed that person-to-person communication helps lead to creativity.6 Where is the text most probably from?A. A newspaper.B. A guide book.C. An entertainment magazine.D. An advertisement.【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A【解析】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了Facebook将允许很多员工永久在家工作这一消息及它可能带来的影响。【4题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容“Mark Zuckerberg, Facebooks chief executive, told workers during a meeting that within a decade as many as half of the companys more than 48, 000 employees would work from home.”（Facebook首席执行官Mark Zuckerberg在一次会议上告诉员工们，在10年内，该公司48000多名员工中，有一半将在家工作。）可知，Facebook的一半员工在家工作的事情还没有实现，是计划当中的事情，“Employees work performance at home is beyond his expectation.”意为“Facebook一半的员工一直在家工作。”不符合Zuckerberg的陈述。故选A项。【5题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段关键句“Using free shuttle buses, free cafeterias and personal services like dry cleaning, tech companies have done as much as possible over the years to give employees little reason to go home, let alone avoid the office. If other large companies follow suit (仿效), tech employment could start to move from expensive centers like Silicon Valley, Seattle and New York.”（这些年来，科技公司利用免费班车、免费自助餐厅和干洗等个人服务，尽可能让员工没有理由回家，更不用说离开办公室了。如果其他大公司也效仿这一做法，科技公司可能开始从硅谷、西雅图和纽约等昂贵中心转移。）可知，如果其他科技公司效仿Facebook的做法，让员工在家远程工作，就不需要租昂贵的办公楼了，也不需要为员工提供免费服务了，这样对于这些科技公司来说是省钱的。由此可推断出，远程工作将降低科技公司的成本。故选C项。【6题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容及第一段“OAKLAND, Calif. Facebook said on Thursday that it would allow many employees to work from home permanently.”（加州奥克兰消息Facebook周四表示，将允许很多员工永久在家工作。）可知，本文是一篇新闻报道，文章报道了Facebook将允许很多员工永久在家工作这一消息，新闻报道一般出现在报纸上，由此可推断出，本文最可能选自报纸。故选A项。CA table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, navigate a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears stroked (抚摸).Making its debut at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the so-called BellaBot was built for Chinese restaurants lacking enough waiters.It is the brainchild of the Chinese robotics and artificial intelligence firm PuduTech. It features four shelves in the centre of its tower-like body to carry plates. Having been loaded up with meals by its human colleagues, the cat-themed robotic waiter miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates. If customers thank BellaBot by stroking its ears, it will respond with a look of pleasure on its on-board screen, which displays animations of a cats face. “The owners hand is so warm,” BellaBot has been programmed to respond.However, much like a real cat, the robots reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. “It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job,” the designers introduced. The BellaBot waiter robot is a more personality-rich update to PuduTechs previous model, which featured a more utilitarian (实用主义的) design and user interface.Both BellaBot and its predecessor were designed with a particular mind to Chinese restaurants which are often short of waiting staff.In a real-world food-service setting, however, BellaBot may find it difficult to operate at peak times. Nevertheless, restaurants are expected to increase their reliance on automation whether in the form of robotic waiting staff or otherwise. Furthermore, improvements in technology will see consumer robot designs grow steadily better at communicating with humans and facing new activities.7. The underlined word “debut” in the second paragraph probably means_.A. first productionB. first saleC. first appearanceD. first design8. The robot cat is able to do the following except_.A. load plates by itself and deliver food to dinersB. help diners find seats in a restaurantC. react to diners with its ears strokedD. remind diners not to pet it for too long9. The text is mainly written to_.A. make an advertisementB. introduce an updated inventionC. predict future robot designsD. solve the problems Chinese restaurants are facing10. What can be the best title for the text?A. Chinese robotics and artificial intelligenceB. A Chinese technology firmC. Improvements in robot designD. Table-waiting robot cat【答案】7. C 8. A 9. B 10. D【解析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项最新发明table-waiting robot cat（端盘子的机器猫），主要是为餐馆里的客人提供送餐服务，并介绍了它的优点和不足，以及它的发展前景。【7题详解】词义猜测题。根据第一段内容“A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, navigate a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears stroked (抚摸).”（一家中国科技公司制造的一种端盘子的机器猫，可以端装食物的盘子，在餐馆里导航，在用餐者面前发出喵喵的叫声，甚至当被抚摸耳朵时可以做出反应。）可知，第一段介绍了table-waiting robot cat（端盘子的机器猫）这项发明。画线词所在句中的its代指上文提到的table-waiting robot cat，再结合画线词后的“at the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas”可知，它应该是在拉斯维加斯举办的2020年消费电子展上“首次亮相”，“first appearance”意为“第一次露面”，符合题意。故选C项。【8题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段关键句“Having been loaded up with meals by its human colleagues, the cat-themed robotic waiter miaows when it delivers food to diners to encourage them to take their plates.”（这个机器猫服务员已经被人类同事们装满了食物，当它给食客送食物时，它会发出“喵喵”的叫声，以鼓励食客取盘子。）可知，这种机器猫是不会自己装载食物的，而是需要人类把食物放在它的身上，“load plates by itself and deliver food to diners”意为“自己装盘子，给食客送食物”，不符合文章的描述。文章第一段内容“navigate a restaurant”（在餐馆里导航）和选项“help diners find seats in a restaurant（帮助食客在餐厅找座位）”一致，文章第一段内容“react to having its ears stroked”（当被抚摸耳朵时可以做出反应）和选项“react to diners with its ears stroked（当被抚摸耳朵时对食客做出反应）”一致，文章第四段内容“However, much like a real cat, the robots reaction soon changes if it is petted for too long. “It gets mad to remind you not to interrupt its job,” the designers introduced.”（然而，就像一只真正的猫，如果它被抚摸太久，它的反应很快就会改变。设计师们介绍说，“它会变得很生气，来提醒你不要打断它的工作。”）和选项“remind diners not to pet it for too long（提醒食客不要抚摸它太久）”一致。故选A项。【9题详解】推理判断题。根据文章内容及第一段“A table-waiting robot cat built by a Chinese technology firm can carry plates of food, navigate a restaurant, miaow at diners and even react to having its ears stroked (抚摸).”（一家中国科技公司制造的一种端盘子的机器猫，可以端装食物的盘子，在餐馆里导航，在用餐者面前发出喵喵的叫声，甚至当被抚摸耳朵时可以做出反应。）可知，本文主要目的是介绍一项最新发明。故选B项。【10题详解】主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一项最新发明table-waiting robot cat（端盘子的机器猫），能够在餐馆里为客人提供送餐的服务，并介绍了它的优点和不足，以及它的发展前景。“Table-waiting robot cat”意为“端盘子的机器猫”，正是文章介绍的新发明，能够概括文章主要内容。故选D项。浙江省温州十五校联合体2020-2021学年高二上学期期中联考英语试题第二部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AI am a perfectionist.
