选择性必修第一册UNIT 2LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE.完形填空(2022·南昌市摸底)When we feel failure，we learn to figure it out. In the process，we learn, we _1.A_， and we become more understanding. But without that _2.B_ failure, this beautiful chain reaction doesnt even have a chance to begin.The other day, I was _3.C_ six kids at my house, and while my oldest son was playing with the other kids, he started acting _4.A_ and aggressively. Of course，I tried to stop it. I corrected him and separated him from the group. I even punished him. _5.B_ was working, until eventually, one of the other kids said，“We dont want to _6.C_ you anymore.” And the rest agreed.My son kept trying to _7.A_ the group. He walked to the other side of the circle to see if another _8.D_ would let him in. He said please. He went to his room to find some toys to _9.C_ everyone. But it was too late. He was refused. My first instinct (直觉) was to ask the other kids to _10.D_ him. But then, I realized that if I did that, Id be _11.C_ my son the greatest lesson that the painful exclusion (排斥)resulted from his bad behavior.And so, next time you want to _12.D_ your child from skinned knees or a bruised ego or missing the bus, you might be cheating them out of the greatest _13.C_ they could ever have: the power of knowing that there are natural _14.D_ for their actions, and that they are finally _15.A_ for the choices they make.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者在照看一群孩子时发现大儿子表现得粗鲁、好斗，作者纠正了他不好的行为，甚至惩罚了他，但这并没有起作用，直到最终其他孩子把他孤立了起来。这时，作者没有前去帮助他，而是让他自己明白：万事皆有因果，必须为自己的行为负责。1A.growBregretCenjoyDrisk解析：考查语境推断。此处表达的是在查明失败原因的过程中，我们学习、成长、变得善解人意。故选A。2A.hugeBinitialCcompleteDinstant解析：考查语境推断。但是没有最初的失败，精彩的连锁反应甚至都没有机会开始。B项“最初的”；C项“完全的，彻底的”；D项“立即的，立刻的”。故选B。3A.trainingBraisingCwatchingDdirecting解析：考查语境推断。此处是说作者在家中照看六个孩子。故选C。4A.rudelyBnervouslyCtalkativelyDconfidently解析：考查语境推断。根据空后的“好斗地”并结合选项可知，此处是说大儿子开始表现得粗鲁。故选A。5A.EverythingBNothingCEverybodyDNobody解析：考查语境推断。根据空前的“even”可知，作者甚至惩罚了他，但是这些都不起什么作用。故选B。6A.attend toBrely onCplay withDcare about解析：考查语境推断。A项“照料，关怀”；B项“依赖”；C项“和玩”；D项“关心”。故选C。7A.rejoinBobserveCrebuildDoffend解析：考查语境推断。根据下文中作者大儿子的行为可知，他一直努力想重新加入小组。D项“冒犯”。故选A。8A.playerBworkerCparentDkid解析：考查词汇复现。根据第3空后的“six kids”可知，他走到圆圈的另一端去看看其他的孩子是否愿意让他加入。故选D。9A.oweBmakeCofferDbuy解析：考查语境推断。他为了取悦大家，去自己房间里找一些玩具给大家玩。offer sb. sth.“自愿给予某人某物”。故选C。10A.helpBnoticeCcomfortDinclude解析：考查语境推断。孩子被拒绝，作为父母的第一直觉应该是，请求其他孩子让他重新加入小组。include sb.“让某人加入”。故选D。11A.remindingBcuringCsparingDwarning解析：考查语境推断。作者意识到，自己如果那样做的话，会让儿子逃过接受最大教训的机会。A项“提醒，使想起”；B项“治愈”；C项“省得，免去”；D项“警告”。故选C。12A.hideBdiscourageCdistinguishDsave解析：考查语境推断。所以，下次你想让你的孩子避免膝盖破皮或自尊心受到伤害或错过公交车时，也许你正在阻止他们得到他们曾遇到的最重要的教育。save“避免，免得(出现困难或不愉快的事)”。故选D。13A.criterionBchallengeCeducationDcomment解析：考查语境推断。根据冒号后面的内容可知，此处是指最重要的教育。A项“(评判或作决定的)标准，原则”。故选C。14A.decisionsBexplanationsCdifferencesDconsequences解析：考查语境推断。根据作者大儿子的经历可知，此处是指他们的行为会产生自然的结果。故选D。15A.responsibleBeagerCsorryDgrateful解析：考查语境推断。此处是指他们最终要为自己作出的选择负责。故选A。.阅读理解(2022·河北省名校联考)Robots are getting better at doing human jobs. Thats probably good for the economy，but there are some serious drawbacks, too.Machines are expected to displace about 20 million manufacturing jobs across the world over the next decade, according to a report released by Oxford Economics, a global forecasting and quantitative analysis firm.That means about 8.5% of the global manufacturing workforce could be displaced by robots. The report also notes that the move to robots tends to create new jobs as fast as it automates them; however，it could contribute to income inequality. The use of robots is on the rise: At this point，every new robot that is installed (安装) displaces 1.6 manufacturing workers on average, according to the Oxford Economic model.Robots are becoming cheaper than many human workers, in part because of the falling costs of machines. And they are increasingly capable of functioning in more complex processes and varied contexts. On top of that, the demand for manufactured goods is rising.One potential downside of the robot revolution: Automation could increase income inequality. “This great displacement will not be evenly distributed around the world, or within countries，”according to the report. “Our research shows that the negative effects of robotization are disproportionately (不成比例地) felt in the lower-income regions compared with higher-income regions of the same country.”The workers who drive knowledge and innovation within the manufacturing industry tend to be concentrated in larger cities, and those skills are harder to automate. Thats why urban areas will deal better with the increased automation, according to the report.On the whole, the increased use of automation will likely create new jobs at a pace comparable to the jobs that will be lost, which cancels out fears about permanent job destruction, according to the Oxford study. That said, the poorer regions that are expected to lose the most jobs will probably not benefit equally from this new job creation due to a gap in skills. That will lead to increased income inequality between cities and rural areas, as well as between regions.语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。主要讨论了机器人在给人们的生活带来经济效益的同时也会带来一些隐患。越来越多的机器人取代人类工作，从而导致贫富差距加大、收入不平衡等问题。1What “downside” does the author mainly discuss？_C_APeople will not be able to find jobs in the future.BRobots will finally take the place of people.CDisplacement by robots will increase income inequality.DRobots are becoming cheaper than many human workers.解析：细节理解题。根据文章第五段第一句“One potential downside of the robot revolution: Automation could increase income inequality.”可知，自动化可能会增加收入不均的问题。故选C。2What do the workers need to do to compete with robots in the future？_B_ATo make robots help them with the harder work.BTo improve their innovative ability and knowledge.CTo move to larger cities or more developed countries.DTo make their skills faster and easier to be automated.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第六段可知，在制造业中掌握知识和创新的劳动力往往集中在大城市，而这些技能很难实现自动化。因此，在未来，如果与机器人竞争工作的话，就要提升自己的创新能力和知识储备。故选B。3What is the main idea of the last paragraph？_D_AThe increased use of automation will create more jobs.BPeople neednt worry about permanent job destruction.CThe poorer countries will not benefit from automation.DThe income gap between cities and rural regions will widen.解析：主旨大意题。通读最后一段可知，贫困地区的人们从机器自动化中受益更少，会导致收入不均，增大城乡差距。故选D。4What can we conclude from the passage？_C_ARobots should be banned in the future because of the disadvantages.BRobots can do more and better than humans in complicated processes.CThe increasing need for manufactured goods partly contributes to robotization.DThe negative effects of robotization will be evenly distributed around the world.解析：推理判断题。根据文章第四段可知，机器人比人类劳动力更便宜，它们越来越有能力在更复杂的过程以及多变环境中发挥作用。故人们对加工品需求的不断增加在一定程度上促进了机械化。故选C。.读后续写(2022·广东省惠州市高三上学期第二次调研考试)A freezing downpour washed the street in front of the small-town bar. I sat gazing into the watery darkness, alone as usual. I had been in that old bar for half an hour, quietly drinking, when my thoughtful eyes finally focused on a medium-sized lump (一团) in a puddle (水洼) a hundred feet away. For another ten minutes, I looked out through the window trying to decide if the lump was an animal or just something.The night before, a German dog named Shep had come into the bar begging for potato chips. He was starving and just the size of the lump in the puddle. Why should a dog lie in a cold puddle in the freezing rain? I asked myself. The answer was simple: Either it wasnt a dog, or it was, he was too weak to get up.The wound in my right shoulder ached all the way down my fingers. I didnt want to go out in the storm. Hey, it wasnt my dog. It was just a stray on a cold rainy night, a lonely drifter (流浪者). So was I, I thought, as I tossed (扔) down what was left of my drink and headed out the door.He was lying in the three inches of water. When I touched him, he didnt move. I thought he was dead. I put my hands around his chest and raised him to his feet. He stood unsteadily, and his head hung like a weight at the end of his neck. His floppy ears were just hairless pieces of flesh dotted with open sores (伤口)“Come on, Shep，” I said, leading him to a corner next to the bar, where he lay on the cold cement and closed his eyes. A block away I could see the lights of a late-night convenience store. It was still open. I bought three cans of dog food and fed him. He couldnt swallow but poorly look at me. He was dying!注意：1. 续写词数应为150 左右；2请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。The local vet (兽医) was still at his office, so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there._Three days later, when I opened the door of the vets, Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm._参考范文：The local vet was still at his office, so I loaded the poor creature into a taxi and headed there.After a quick check on the poor dog, the vet shook his head with regret. He promised me he would try his utmost but Shep was unlikely to get through it unless there is a miracle. While the vet treated the sores carefully, I tried to drop water in his mouth and fed him with food bit by bit. I never gave up hope of getting him saved. Many times I would caress his neck, whispering into his ears to encourage him to hold on. He was so weak that he had to stay in the vets.Three days later, when I opened the door of the vets, Shep welcomed me with wild enthusiasm. He wagged his tail from left to right as if to say “Thank you”. He was gaining strength and improving for the better. Tears filling my eyes, I knew all our efforts were worthwhile. Soon, the dog recovered from severe sores and I adopted him and took him home. Once in a while, I would go to that bar with Shep, a drink for myself and a serve of potato chips for him. What would have happened if I hadnt stepped out on that stormy night? Care and kindness really made a difference, to both of us.
