1、高中英语阅读理解+七选五课堂小题过关练十四PART A（1）OverviewTake a course on mask making in Venice, and learn about the history of this ancient tradition. You can choose from a production class or a decoration class, or you can even take both. No matter which option you choose, you get to bring home your creation-just in

2、 time for Carnival.What To ExpectA master artisan (工匠） will explain to you the ancient technique of making a Venetian papier-maché mask, providing information about the use of masks in Venice during past centuries. At the end of the course, you will keep the mask as a souvenir.Duration: 1 hour

4、This activity will have a maximum of 6 travelers.ReviewsChris_C, Oct. 2020We travelled with a six-year-old child and the tour guide was able to span(持续）both adult and kiddo attention spans. He was super patient with us, telling us a small history lesson of the masks.Amanda_R, Jul. 2020The tour guide

5、 Giorgio was amazing with our two girls. They had a great time selecting the style of mask, designing and painting the masks. Giorgio was very patient and did a beautiful job of decorating the masks. There was air conditioning in the tiny workshop too. I sat at the restaurant outside the door and re

8、 of the workshop.（2）People often ask how I decide where to go, and I usually get hesitated with my response, as I dont actually have an answer to that. For more than three years, I have been making movements with the universe, traveling from location to location at seemingly random intervals.A frien

9、d of mine posted a Facebook status asking if anybody was interested in a job teaching English in China. So I jumped on a coming plane. Walking into my first class, I was bombed by 16 strange children who couldnt understand a single word out of my mouth. When I walked out of my last class, six months

10、 later, I had made a personal connection with them. Some of my students could barely speak Chinese or English. But somehow, through determination and force, we connected.Every class was not only a lesson in English, but in good fellowship, being a role model, being a parent, and being a friend. I be

11、came a father to some, an older brother to others. I was loved and adored, feared and hated. I had to learn discipline, and not only how to deal it out, but how to discipline and conduct myself as a role model. But in between the discipline, I had to make learning a fun experience. And they forgave

12、me when I yelled or got upset. And when they threw temper or bruised their knee or missed their mommy, I forgave them, kissed their bruises better, and gave them a shoulder to cry on.Teaching English in China is, by far, the most emotionally rewarding and fulfilling thing Ive ever challenged myself

13、to do. I have walked away from this job with a softened heart, knowing that I have made a difference in so many lives. I want that. I want my teachings to be reciprocal because they taught me how to unconditionally open my heart and how to be a more 1oving and patient person.4. What can we learn abo

What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?A. Beneficial.B. Interacted.C

16、. Encouraging.D. Acceptable.（3）La Belle Personne is boring, but I love it. The 2008 French film features extremely softened and washed-out colors, a relatively uneventful plotline, and lifeless performances from the main characters, all of which give the film its unique charm.The plain beauty of La

17、Belle Personne comes not from its extremely unique plot, but rather its literary elements. Of course, the film is visually pretty lacking in liveliness. An editor must have purposely and smartly dealt with every single shot. The dominating colors in each of these shots are a vivid black, grey and wh

18、ite, making for a melancholic(忧郁的）atmosphere. While one could easily view this lack of vividness as exhausting,I would argue that it makes for a beautifully unconventional cinematic experience.There are no artificial mental spark stimulated by the visuals, and the viewers must therefore sit with the

19、mselves for an hour and a half, reflecting on what the piece personally means to them and how it genuinely makes them feel. Aside from a few major plot points, nothing terribly remarkable happens in La Belle Personne. It's more like a lazy river under grey skies where the water is slightly too c

20、old. But if you relax, your body temperature adjusts and you can sit back and just enjoy the ride.Although our current world may be both literally and symbolically on fire, it's no secret that campus life in and of itself is considerably more boring than usual. With no parties to attend, most cl

21、asses online, and the majority of clubs limited to Zoom Meetings, waking up every day might feel a bit more tedious. However, just like La Belle Personne has shown us, it's important to appreciate your environment for what it is. In terms of campus life, sometimes it's not so horrible for th

22、ings to be slow-paced, as it allows space for reflection and being present.8 What do we know about La Belle Personne from the first paragraph?A. It enjoys high popularity.B It owns special artistic charm.C. It applies modern techniques.D. It features lively performances.9. What can we infer from Par

23、agraphs 2 and 3 about the film?A. All its viewers feel positive on it.B. It gives viewers a sense of ridiculousness.C. It suits those preferring sensory stimulation.D. It is worth tasting slowly and heart-wholly.10. What does underlined word “tedious" in the last paragraph probably mean?A. Bori

24、ng.B. Painstaking.C. Impractical.D. Unnecessary.11. What is the purpose of this text?A. To show the importance of going to the movies.B. To recommend people to enjoy an unique movie.C. To introduce a way to appreciate a certain movie.D. To call for a slow-paced and positive school life.（4）Much of th

25、e information that is sent back from space is useless. Pictures taken by satellites orbiting the Earth might take days to download, only to show lots of cloud hiding the area of interest. The subject matter may also be surrounded by irrelevant information.Processing data in space before sending back

26、 would reduce unnecessary information, but this can be tricky. Rays in the universe randomly flip the ones and zeroes that computers operate on, introducing unpredictable errors. High levels of radiation can also damage electronic circuits (电子电路). KP Labs, based in Poland, is building a satellite to

27、 overcome some of these problems. Their device, called Inuition-1, is controlled by a neural network, a form of artificial intelligence modeled on the human brain.Intuition-l will be equipped with a hyper spectral imager (超光谱成像仪), which takes 150 pictures of every scene it looks at. Each picture is

28、at a different frequency, so contains different information. The neural network pieces these together using powerful graphics chips (芯片) hardened against radiation. The developers have also built error correction into their software. But instead of sending back every bit of image data, the satellite

29、 will summarize what the user requests as useful information. This might, for instance, be a heat map showing areas of weeds in a field or the location of a forest fire. Reducing the data loud means that some of the information can be sent live.The satellite will be used to prove that a hardened neu

30、ral network can survive in space. This could pave the way for other space applications. For example, the Curiosity rover (探测器) on Mars was successfully upgraded in 2016 with a set of algorithms to detect “interesting” rocks for investigation, instead of picking them randomly. A neural network could

31、provide future rovers and deep-space probes with a better ability to make decisions.The neural network and hyper spectral imager have already been built and tested by KP labs. They will go into a satellite body being constructed by Clyde Space. After that there will be more intelligence in space.12.

32、 Why does the author say processing data in the universe can be very tricky?A. Rays and radiation disturbs data processing.B. The pictures taken by satellites are not so clear.C. The data to be processed are not accurate enough.D. Processing data in the universe is time-consuming.13. What do we lear

33、n about Intuition-l?A. It can take pictures much faster.B. It can survive much longer in space.C. It can correct mistakes from users request.D. It can improve the stability of data processing.14. What does the underlined phrase “pave the way” in Paragraph 4 mean?A. Set an example.B. Remove barriers.

34、C. Reduce the cost.D. Increase the efficiency.15. Whats the text mainly about?A. The ways of dealing with data.B. The importance of collecting data.C. The upgrade of processing space images.D. The potential influence of AI in the universe.PART B根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Excellence is

35、a form of currency(通货) While a commitment to excellence can help you gain true wealth and realize the inbuilt value of your potential, a lack of commitment devalues potential and reputation.If you are to become the person you were meant to be on the day you were born, do whatever you do with all you

36、r might._16_ If you accept being average and ordinary, life will make you average and ordinary._17_ But it has everything to do with decision, commitment and action. And excellence is a destination for anyone who appreciates, respects, and demonstrates hard work and good judgement!We all have a rang

37、e of career choices and opportunities. But we expand the range and quality of our choices when we practice excellence. _18_ So attempt to make every opportunity one of importance because every opportunity counts.What is considered excellent today will become the minimum cost of admission tomorrow. _

38、19_ Obviously the bar is constantly being raised. If you don't produce excellent results consistently, someone else will.There is no mercy period for averageness, and you must have a zero tolerance policy for it. People expect the best. _20_. So never relax the rules of excellence. When you come

39、 to terms with quality, you suffer physical and emotional withdrawal from your goals. You should have the belief that the efficiencies of your business and life are infinite(极大的）, that everything can be improved upon,that every project can be completed in an excellent fashion. Why? Because when it c

40、omes to excellence, everything counts!A. Being average is a choice.B. You're only as good as your last performance.C. It creates confidence and enhances peace of mind.D. And we reduce them when we accept being average.E. If they can't get it from you, they'll find it elsewhere.F. You will never live longer than its importance and usefulness.G.
