Section B

Amazon has suddenly withdrawn its plans to build a satellite headquarters in New York City,

citing growing opposition of local elected officials in a shifting political climate.

The decision marks a stunning reversal just three months after Amazon crowned Long Island City, Queens, one of two winners of a highly public nationwide search in which hundreds of communities vied for the tech group’s investment.

By losing Amazon, New York will sacrifice an estimated 25,000 jobs -paying an average annual salary of $150,000 each- as well as a signature victory in a broader effort to transform the financial services capital into a technology hub to rival Silicon Valley.

Amazon’s about-face is a particular setback for governor Andrew Cuomo, who led the company’s recruitment and touted its November decision as the city’s biggest-ever economic development win.

At the same time, it appeared to confirm the dominance of a progressive wing of the Democratic party, led by the recently elected Queens representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who was suspi cious of Amazon’s arrival. Ms, Ocasio-Cortez questioned its opposition to organized labor and whether local citizens would benefit from its jobs.

Amazon officials said the decision to abandon New York had been taken recently, and would not discuss what rol e, if any, Jeff Bezos , the company’s founder, played in the move.

“The commitment to building a headquarters required positive, collaborative relationships with state and local officials who will be supportive over the long term,” Amazon wrote in a blog p ost. “While polls show that 70 percent of New Yorkers support our plans and investment, a number of state and local politicians have made it clear that they oppose our presence and will not work with us.”

Amazon said it did not intend to reopen the search process for a replacement. Instead , company officials expect to spread the jobs they planned to locate in Queens around existing Amazon facilities in Boston, San Diego, Vancouver and the Bay Area.

36. Amazon drew back from setting up a satellite headquarters in that __________.

A. there is a widespread public objection.

B. the political climate is favorable to revolution.

C. a number of state and local politicians changed their tunes.

D. Long Island lost the fierce competition for the investment.

37. The u nderlined word “about-face” is closest in meaning to _________.

A. victory

B. reversal

C. investment

D. support

38. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Amazon reoriented itself from a financial center to a technology hub.

B. Jeff Bezos was to blame for his mistakes in decision-making.

C. Andrew Cuomo had prejudice against Amazon’s new headquarters plan.

D.Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez was cautious in response to Amazon’s plan.39. What is the passage mainly concerned with? A. Amazon relocate its new facilities in Queens. B. Amazon drops plans for headquarters in New York City. C. Amazon seeks to cooperate with state and local politicians. D. Amazon is under fire for withdrawing the plan for a facility. 【答案】36. C 37. B 38. D 39. B 这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了亚马逊突然撤销了在纽约市建立一个卫星总部的计划，理由是在政治气候变化的背景下，当地民选官员的反对越来越强烈。文章说明了这一行为将产生的影响，以及相关人员对此的看法。【36题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段Amazon has suddenly withdrawn its plans to build a satellite headquarters

in New York City, citing growing opposition of local elected officials in a shifting political climate.可知亚马逊突然撤销了在纽约市建立一个卫星总部的计划，理由是在政治气候变化的背景下，当地民选官员的反对越来越强烈。由此可知，亚马逊退出了设立卫星总部的计划，因为许多州和地方政客改变了他们的态度。故选C。

【37题详解】

词义猜测题。根据第二段中The decision marks a stunning reversal可知亚马逊退出了设立卫星总部的计划这一决定标志着一个惊人的逆转，而这次逆转对纽约州州长Andrew Cuomo来说是一次特别的挫折。由此可知，划线单词意思为“逆转”。故选B。

【38题详解】

细节理解题。根据第五段At the same time, it appeared to confirm the dominance of a progressive wing of the Democratic party, led by the recently elected Queens representative Alexandria

Ocasio-Cortez, who was suspicious of Amazon’s arrival. Ms, Ocasio-Cortez questioned its opposition to organized labor and whether local citizens would benefit from its jobs.可知与此同时，它似乎证实了民主党进步派的主导地位，后者由最近当选的皇后区众议员Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez领导，他对亚马逊的到来表示怀疑。Ocasio-Cortez女士质疑其对劳工组织的反对，以及当地公民是否会从其工作中受益。由此可知，Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez对亚马逊的计划持谨慎怀疑态度。故选D。

【39题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第一段Amazon has suddenly withdrawn its plans to build a satellite headquarters in New York City, citing growing opposition of local elected officials in a shifting political climate.可知亚马逊突然撤销了在纽约市建立一个卫星总部的计划，理由是在政治气候变化的背景下，当地民选官员的反对越来越强烈。结合文章主要内容为说明亚马逊退出了设立卫星总部的计划这一行为所产生的影响，以及相关人员对此的看法。故选B。

【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为

①定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。

②逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。

③语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。

④语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。

⑤指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。

如第二小题，根据第二段中The decision marks a stunning reversal可知亚马逊退出了设立卫星总部的计划这一决定标志着一个惊人的逆转，而这次逆转对纽约州州长Andrew Cuomo来说是一次特别的挫折。由此可知，划线单词意思为“逆转”。故选B。

Through tools, talks and games, AYR provides an informative and interactive way for Singaporeans to understand the importance of retirement planning; and take an active role in working towards it.

AYR revolves around 4 checklists built upon 4 key messages:

Managing your cash flow

A basic step in financial planning, this puts you in a better position to consider other aspects of retirement planning and adequacy.

This theme focuses on helping Singaporeans understand the principles of prudence and affordability in making their most expensive financial commitment.

Taking charge of healthcare costs

Singaporeans need to plan ahead to be financially and physically prepared for health uncertainties.

【40题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中Launched in 2011, AYR is designed to encourage Singaporeans to kick-start their financial and retirement planning.可知AYR成立于2011年，旨在鼓励新加坡人开始他们的理财和退休计划。由此可知，“Are You Ready”活动的目的是鼓励新加坡人在退休计划方面有所突破。故选C。

【41题详解】

【点睛】态度、观点及感受类推理判断题。高考阅读理解题中有些题目考查考生对文章作者的思想、人物性格倾向等方面的理解。对于判断情感态度类题目，考生需要分析段落大意、作者的思路，理解了文章的段落大意、中心思想后，才能判断出作者的情感态度。学会辨别清楚文章的体裁。如第二小题，根据文章最后一句Increasing life expectancy means putting a financial plan in place as early as possible; to be financially independent in old age.可知提高预期寿命意味着尽早制定一个财务计划；在老年时保持财务独立。结合选项可推知，B选项“随着人们寿命的延长，人们不得不为退休存更多的钱”符合作者的观点。故选B。

C

War is expensive and it is bloody. That is why America's Department of Defence wants to replace a third of its armed vehicles and weaponry with robots by2015. Such a change would save money, as robots can be much cheaper to replace than people. Just as importantly for the generals, it would make waging war less prey to the politics of body bags. Nobody mourns a robot.

The US military already routinely uses robotic aero planes known as unmanned aerial vehicles ( UA Vs ). In November 2001 two missiles fared from a remote-controlled Predator UA V killed Mohammad Atef, al-Qaeda's chief of military operations and one of Osama bin Laden's most important associates, as he drove his car near Kabul. But whereas UA Vs and their ground-based equivalents, such as the machinegun-toting Sword robots, are usually controlled by distant human operators, the Pentagon would like to give these robots increasing amounts of autonomy, including the ability to decide when to use lethal force.

To achieve this, Ronald Arkin of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, is developing a set of rules of engagement for battlefield robots to ensure that their use of lethal force follows the rules of ethics. In other words, he is trying to create an artificial conscience. Dr Arkin believes that there is another reason for putting robots into battle, which is that they have the potential to act more humanely than people. Stress does not affect a robot's judgment in the way it affects a soldier's.

His approach is to create what he calls a "multidimensional mathematical decision-space of possible behavior actions". Based on inputs ranging from radar data and current position to mission status and intelligence feeds, the system would divide the set of all possible actions into those that are ethical and those that are not. If, for example, the drone from which the fatal attack on Atef was

launched had sensed that his car was overtaking a school bus, it might then have held fire.

There are comparisons to be drawn between Dr Arkin's work and the famous Three Laws of Robotics drawn up in the 1950s by Isaac Asimov, a science-fiction writer ,to govern robot behaviour. But whereas Asimov's laws were intended to prevent robots from harming people in any circumstances, Dr Arkin's are supposed to ensure only that they are not unethically killed.

This is an admirable goal in theory, but even if ethics can be neatly encoded into software, pitfalls remain. Although a completely rational robot might be unfazed by the chaos and confusion of the battlefield, it could still make mistakes. Surveillance and intelligence data can be wrong, and conditions and situations on the battlefield can change.

43. America’s military force wants to replace people with r obots NOT because ________.

A. war cost a lot and it is bloody

B. people show sympathy for a person not a robot

C. . the armed vehicles and weapons are too expensive

D. the general would receive less criticism from the masses

44. Which of the following statements is True?

A. Atef was killed by two missiles fired from a remote-controlled manned aerial vehicle.

B. The department of force already uses UA Vs with relatively high autonomy.

C. The study done by Dr. Arkin is similar to Three Laws of Robotics.

D. In Arkin’s opinion, a soldier’s judgment can be affected but robot’s won’t.

45. What’s the main idea of this article?

A. Ronald Arkin is developing a set of rules to increase autonomy.

B. Ronald Arkin is making efforts to create an artificial conscience.

C. Atef was precisely bombed by a remote-controlled Predator UV A.

D. There are comparisons between Dr. Arkin’s work and Three Laws of Robotics.

46. What’s the author’s attitude about Arkin’s approach?

A. His approach is an admirable goal and it can be realized.

B. Robot would fight without any mistakes in the battlefield.

C Dr. Arkin’s approach is ethical and faultless.

D. Robots are not substitute for people in the battlefield.

【答案】43. C 44. D 45. A 46. D

这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国军方虽然已经经常使用无人驾驶飞机，但五角大楼希望赋予这些机器人更多的自主权，包括决定何时使用致命武力的能力。因此为了实现这一目标，Ronald Arkin正在为战场机器人制定一套交战规则，以确保它们在使用致命武力时遵守道德准则。

【43题详解】

细节理解题。根据第一段中War is expensive and it is bloody.可知战争是昂贵的，也是血腥的。由此可知A选项“战争耗资巨大，而且很血腥”属于美国军方希望用机器人代替人的理由；根据第一段中Nobody mourns a robot.可知没有人哀悼机器人。由此可知B选项“人们同情的是人而不是机器人”属于美国军方希望用机器人代替人的理由；根据第一段中Just as importantly for the generals, it would make waging war less prey to the politics of body bags.可知对将军们来说同样重要的是，这将使发动战争不那么容易成为政治上的牺牲品。由此可知D选项“将军将会受到较少的群众批评”属于美国军方希望用机器人代替人的理由；故C选项“武装车辆和武器太贵了”文章没有提到，不属于美国军方希望用机器人代替人的理由。故选C。

【44题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中Stress does not affect a robot's judgment in the way it affects a soldier's.可知压力不会像影响士兵那样影响机器人的判断力。由此可知，D选项“在Arkin看来，士兵的判断会受到影响，但是机器人不会”正确。故选D。

【45题详解】

主旨大意题。根据第三段中To achieve this, Ronald Arkin of the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta, is developing a set of rules of engagement for battlefield robots to ensure that their use of lethal force follows the rules of ethics.可知为了实现这一目标，位于亚特兰大的乔治亚理工学院的Ronald Arkin正在为战场机器人制定一套交战规则，以确保它们在使用致命武力时遵守道德准则。结合文章主要说明了这一规则的制定方式，故选A。

【46题详解】

推理判断题。根据最后一段中Although a completely rational robot might be unfazed by the chaos and confusion of the battlefield, it could still make mistakes. Surveillance and intelligence data can be wrong, and conditions and situations on the battlefield can change.可知虽然一个完全理性的机器人可能不会被战场上的混乱和混乱所困扰，但它仍然会犯错。监视和情报数据可能是错误的，战场上的条件和形势可能会改变。由此可推知，作者认为机器人不能代替战场上的人。

故选D。

Section C

Many of us have already lost the “race against the machines” - we just don’t know it yet. That is the conclusion of new research by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

Unlike most studies into the impact of automation, this one does not rely on informed guesswork about what machines will be able to do in 20 years’ time. ____47____ They are literacy, numeracy and problem-solving with computers - and compares our performance against the abilities of machines. The results are sobering, but rather than a reason to despair,

In the survey a group of computer scientists was given the same test and asked which questions computers could answer, using technology that exists but has not necessarily been rolled out yet in the workplace. The conclusion? Almost a third of workers use these cognitive skills daily in their jobs and yet their competency levels have already been matched by computers. About 44 per cent are still better than the machines. The remaining 25 per cent have jobs that do not use these skills every day.

There are two caveats. First, the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do. ______48______. Second, just because technology exists does not mean it will be deployed quickly in the workplace. It depends on how easily it can be made operational, how much it costs relative to the value it creates, and whether companies have the appetite to invest.

_____49_____. Stuart Elliott, the author, concludes that in 10 to 20 years, only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute, only about one in 10 working-age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.

It is true that the education systems in most countries have been raising their game: younger people tend to have better skills than older people (the UK being one notable, and worrying, exception). But even if you take the most skilled generation in the most skilled country - young people in Finland - two-thirds still do not meet these top levels of literacy and numeracy.

____50____.

The risks to workers from ever smarter computers are clear, but the opportunities will lie in maximizing the value of their human skills. For some people, such as talented chefs, the battle is already won. Others might need to harness the computers to leverage their human talents.

A. And yet,the implication of the study are hard to dismiss.

B. on many of these fronts, computers are behind humans, if they are in the race at all.

C. Technology does not necessary mean doom to all but the highest skilled.

D. Instead it takes three basic and compares our performance against the abilities of machines.

E. Apart from astonishing improvement in education, it looks like only a minority of people can win this race.

F. The result would be more alarming if machine were actually put to the test.

【答案】47. D 48. F 49. A 50. E

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。经济合作与发展组织新研究指出我们中的许多人已经输掉了“与机器的竞赛”——我们只是还不知道。文章说明了这一研究的过程，以及这项研究的重要意义。文章最后提到越来越智能的计算机给工人带来的风险是显而易见的，但机会将在于最大限度地发挥他们的人力技能的价值。

【47题详解】

结合后文They are literacy, numeracy and problem-solving with computers - and compares our performance against the abilities of machines.可知它们是读写能力、计算能力和用电脑解决问题的能力——并将我们的表现与机器的能力进行比较。由此可知，本句是在启示下文说明需要三个基础能力。其中后文compares our performance against the abilities of machines.可对应到D 选项compares our performance against the abilities of machines。故D选项“相反，它需要三个基础的，并将我们的表现与机器的能力进行比较的能力”符合上下文语境，故选D。

【48题详解】

根据上文First, the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do.可知首先，经合组织只问了计算机科学家他们认为机器能做得多好。由此可知，本句承接上文继续说明机器如果被投入试验，结果会令人震惊。故F选项“如果真把这台机器投入试验，其结果将更令人震惊”符合上下文语境，故选F。

【49题详解】

结合后文Stuart Elliott, the author, concludes that in 10 to 20 years, only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute, only about one in 10 working-age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.可知作者Stuart Elliott

But I also want you to understand that realizing your dreams comes from hard work, some good luck and good timing. Here are some words of wisdom for you as you make your way in the world, from an entrepreneur (企业家) and from your mama. 1. Be open-minded to changing your path along the way In high school, I wanted to be a politician. I left my hometown and went off to college in Washington,DC. There, I discovered that I loved to support women. It taught me that I’m creative, a strong leader and great at marketing. As a result, I moved on to be the head of a national health-care nonprofit. Becoming a mother while in that job opened my mind to launching a breast pump bag (储奶袋) business. Now I run a highly successful company that I started up on my own. I'm not a politician! 2. Failure is critical to your success Failure can be heartbreaking. But I will tell you that every failure I’ve had along the way has absolutely made me better. Failing the big math exam in high school and going to summer school was embarrassing. I eventually passed, and I’ve never failed an exam again. I learned from that experience to ask for help. Now, I ask for help in business all the time. I’m proud to be a role model to you as a mom and an entrepreneur. I hope I inspire you to believe that you can be anything you want. It will be my pleasure to watch your lives unfold before my eyes. Love, Your mom 21. In the writer’s opinion, what does it take to realize one’s dream? A. Failure, hard work and good timing. B. An open mind, failure and hard work. C. Hard work, good luck and good timing. D. A good dream, an open mind and hard work. 22. What did the writer learn from her failure? A. Failure can make us embarrassed.

河北省石家庄实验中学2019-2020学年高一3月月考英语试题 Word版缺答案

石家庄实验中学高一英语月考试卷 命题人：高一英语组 阅读理解（每小题2.5分，共25分） A I had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons. I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions. One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain. Stone Mountain isn't a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top, but for two 5-year-olds, along with Grandpa, it's a formidable task. Since my grandsons' enthusiasm was much greater than mine, I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain. The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual. It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance, but I had to remind myself that it took 3 of their steps to equal1 of mine, so I found myself walking ahead of them, then having to stop and let them catch up, over and over again. I was tired and sweaty, just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back. I learned early during our walk that this wasn't going to be the case. We had to stop and look at every large rock with someone’s name carved in it. We looked at unusual plant formations. We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves. My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure. Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain; they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk. I know when I face a trial in life, I tend to always think of the problem. I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal. What can I learn during the course of trial? At some point, the trial will be over and we'll be joyous for sure. However, the real joy should not be that the trial’s over, but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey. 1. What does the underlined word "formidable" in Paragraph 1mean? A. Relaxing. B. Meaningful. C. Strange. D. Difficult. 2. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. The writer kept challenging his grandsons to catch up with him.

III. Reading Comprehension Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. B Kettlebells do not hurt people. People do. A kettlebell will get your respect – the easy way or the hard way. Here is the easy way. 1. Get a medical clearance. Get clearance, especially from an orthopedist and a cardiologist. The latter is no joking matter, since kettlebell training can be extremely intense. 2. Always be aware of your surroundings. Find a training area with a non-slippery surface on which you are not afraid to drop a kettlebell. The area must be clear of objects you might trip over – including other kettlebells – or that you might hit with a kettlebell. There should be no people or animals in a radius where you could injure them. 3. Train barefoot or wear shoes with a flat, thin sole and room for the toes to spread. Training barefoot is superior for health and performance reasons. If you must wear shoes, wear Converse Chuck Taylors, Vibram Five Fingers, or similar shoes that have thin soles and do not pinch the toes together. You have sensory receptors on the bottoms of your feet that make you stronger and improve balance and coordination. Wearing traditional shoes diminishes the ability of these receptors to work properly, and therefore inhibits performance and can increase the risk of injury. Go native. 4. Never contest for space with a kettlebell. Do not try to save a rep that has gone wrong. Guide the kettlebell to fall harmlessly, and move out of the way if necessary. And remember, quick feet are happy feet. 5. Practice all safety measures at all times. Respect every kettlebell, even the lightest one. Always use perfect form picking up and setting down a kettlebell. The set is not over until the bell is safely parked.
