2022屆高三第一學期英語學科期中檢測考試時間：120分鐘第二部分 閱讀（共兩節(jié)，滿分50分）第一節(jié)    （共15小題，每小題2.5分，共37.5分）AThere is a bit of confusion when it comes to whether eating while driving is allowed in Australia as it is kind of a legal gray area in most states. While there are no specific road rules that ban eating behind the wheel, drivers might as well not eat on the road to avoid being heavily fined.NEW SOUTH WALESIf the police catch you eating while driving in New South Wales, they can book you for driving without proper control of the vehicle. This comes with a $448 fine and three demerit points and that rises to a $561 fine and four demerit points if the offence is committed in a school zone.AUSTRALINA CAPITAL TERRITORYNot pulling over to eat can also land you in hot water in the ACT. Much like NSW, drivers can be charged with driving without proper control of their car, which comes with a $292 fine. Drivers can also be given a $385 fine and three demerit points if their distraction results in a crash.VICTORIAIn Victoria, you could be forced to pay a $387 fine along with racking up three demerit points if the police catch you having a meal on the road.SOUTH AUSTRALIAWhile the law in South Australia doesn’t specifically state that eating while driving is illegal, the SA Driver’s Handbook does name eating as a common distraction. Driving without having proper control of the vehicle could cost you $184 and six demerit points in South Australia.NORTHERN TERRITORYIf the police catch a driver eating on the road in the Northern Territory, they may charge him with “driving in a dangerous manner”. This means the driver could get a $500 fine and three demerit points.1. What does the underlined sentence suggest?A. It is not an easy job to ban eating while driving in the state.B. Eating behind the wheel can cause the driver lots of trouble.C. It is important to educate drivers to be aware of driving safety.D. It is common that many drivers in the state eat while driving.2. How much will a driver caught eating while driving in a school zone in NSW be fined?A. $385. B. $387. C. $448. D. $561.3. Where will a driver be fined most if caught eating behind the wheel?A. In the Northern Territory. B. In Victoria.C. In South Australia D. In the Australian Capital Territory.BIndependent living at home is the ideal for every aging person. But a fall or other health-threatening incidents can change everything rapidly.The wearable “panic buttons” introduced in the late 1980s were a great advance. But they only work if people actually wear them and can reach the button in an emergency. Today there are passive wearables that automatically detect falls, and camera-based systems to monitor elder safety.Coming from a 40-year career in the semiconductor and wireless communication field, Rafi Zack decided to find a better alternative. “People aren’t devoted to wearing small devices 24/7, and camera-based systems are an invasion（侵犯）of privacy,” he points out, “The most challenging aspect is a fall. How fast we can detect a fall matters because the medical situation worsens quickly. Sometimes people stay on the floor for a long time. We have to find out how to solve that problem.”Zack is a co-founder, CEO and vice president of R&D at EchoCare Technologies which has developed ECHO (Elderly Care Home Observer), a cloud-connected monitor based on radar technology and machine learning.Because radar sees through walls, one ECHO unit fixed on the ceiling or wall can monitor one person (or two persons, in a future version) in a standard-sized apartment in a senior living facility. The device detects falls, breathing difficulties, drowning in a bathtub and other dangerous events. It gives out warnings to potential health worsening conditions by continuously monitoring and analyzing the person’s location, posture（姿勢）, motion and breath. EchoCare tested the device in the United States, Japan, Australia and Israel. ECHO was certified（認證）in 2019 in Japan with the most aging population in the world.“Bathrooms were the main testing area where about 17,000 deadly accidents happen annually.” said SMK Director and Executive Vice President Tetsuo Hara. “Bathroom makers, home security service providers and nursing homes are highly interested in EchoCare’s solution.” Zack noted, “As more and more elder people live alone as a result of social distancing, there is an increased need to monitor them without the burden of wearables or privacy-invading cameras.”4. What’s the advantage of ECHO over “panic buttons”?A. It has camera-based systems. B. It has been widely accepted.C It can function without cameras. D. Its buttons can be easily reached.5. What can we know about ECHO from paragraph 5?A. It is designed to send out warnings regularly.B. It monitors dangerous health-related events.C. It was certified in many developed countries.D. It detects more than one person at the same time.6. What can we infer about the future of ECHO?A. It’ll become more popular with the elderly.B. It’ll stop 17,000 deaths happening annually.C. It’ll be used in nursing homes and hospitals.D. It’ll help elderly people to live an active life.7. What can be the best title for the passage?A. An Advanced Medical InstrumentB. A High-tech Monitor for the ElderlyC. The Invention of a Healthcare DeviceD. The Improvement of a Medical FacilityC“The really frightening thing about middle age” the actor Doris Day is said to have joked, “is that you know you'll grow out of it.” We may bravely try to claim that life begins at 40- but for many people，it can feel more like the beginning of the end.Mid life wasn't always seen this way. It isn't clear why we have a more negative view today, but Margie Lachman, director of the lifespan development lab at Brandeis University in Massachusetts, suggests it may be linked to the pressures that begin piling up in our 30s. “Midlife is a period of high stress today, more so than in the past,” she says. “One is exactly in the middle of work and family careers. This can affect one's ability to focus on one's own well-being.”There are, however, many reasons to feel positive about this crucial period. In a series of experiments, Laura Germine at Harvard Medical School has tested tens of thousands of people to examine the differences in cognitive abilities between age groups. Germine's studies have included the famous “mind in the eyes” test, for instance, which gets people to infer emotional states from small differences in facial expressions. She found that people in their late 40s scored highest. This may be due to practice, she suggests. “When you think about the amount of social differences that one has to learn across the lifespan- that's where we think that comes from.”Germine found similar patterns in a task demanding continuous attention. In this, the participants had to watch different scenes fade into one another and adapt their response according to what they saw-pressing a button when they saw a city and releasing it when they saw a mountain. 40-somethings found it much easier to “get into the zone” than younger people.It is interesting to note that middle-aged people frequently bring in the most supplies in traditional hunter-gatherer societies. According to various studies, hunter-gatherers often take decades to learn their skills, and these abilities continue to grow into their 40s.There are some downsides to hitting this age, of course. Our skin tends to become loose and our body fat starts to be redistributed around the midriff. But after a drop in life satisfaction, happiness is already set to rise at the end of this decade and the beginning of the next.Contrary to popular opinion, humans seem to have evolved to flourish into middle age and beyond.8. What can we infer from the first paragraph?A. Doris Day felt excited in her 40s. B. It's believed that life begins at 40.C. Lots of people feel worried at 40. D. We are supposed to be braver at 40.9. Which of the followings is TRUE according to the text?A. People in their 40s attach more importance to their well-being.B. There seem to be reasons for us to be optimistic about middle age.C. The participants in their 40s did badly in Germine's experiments.D. Humans' physical appearance definitely gets worse in their 40s.10. The underlined word “flourish” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.A. Succeed B. Panic C. Calm D. Decline11. Where is the text probably taken from?A. A textbook B. An art review.C. A science magazine. D. A biography.DOf all the journalism specialties, science writing may well be the most challenging. Science writers cover fields undergoing some of the most rapid advances in history, from stunning advances in genetics and biotechnology to exotic discoveries in astrophysics. A science writer’s week may include coverage of new discoveries about viruses, the brain, evolution, artificial intelligence, planets around other suns, and global climate change and its environmental impact, to name only a few topics.Writing anything that’s any good is hard work, but science writers labor tinder a particular, and rather peculiar, set of constraints. Science is new — only about 400 years old, as a going concern — and prodigious, having transformed our conception of the universe and of our place in it. But precisely because its impact has been so rapid and so monumental, science has not yet been absorbed into our common consciousness. Readers come to the printed page already knowing something about crime and punishment, love and loss, triumph and tragedy — but not, necessarily, about the roles played by theory and observation in identifying a virus or tracing the curvature of intergalactic space. Hence science writers have to keep explaining things, from the significance of scientific facts to the methods by which they are adduced, while simultaneously holding the readers’ attention and moving the story along. It’s as if business reporters had to constantly explain what is meant by “turning a profit”, or sportswriters by “scoring a touchdown”.Unsurprisingly, we science writers are often misunderstood. People tend to assume that we write computer software manuals or those buckram-bound engineering textbooks assigned to students in technical studies. Fellow authors dismiss us as translators. Editors may think us narrow. A quarter-century ago, when I was struggling to move away from writing about politics and rock music in order to concentrate on astronomy, the editor of a major magazine pressed me to do an article, called “The Bionic Man”, on artificial body parts. When I declined, he became impatient.“Well what do you want to write about?” he asked, throwing up his hands, like a motorist cut off in traffic.“Astronomy,” I replied.“You’ve already written about astronomy!”“Yes, but I like it. It was my original interest in life.”“Aren’t you afraid of becoming some sort of Johnny One Note?”“Well, not really. You know, what’s out there is something like ninety-nine, then a decimal point, then twenty-eight more nines per cent of everything. Covering nearly everything doesn’t seem all that limiting. And it leads to lots of other things.”I’ve been on the wrong side of arguments with editors more often than it is comfortable to recall, but on this occasion I turned out to have been right. Astronomy did lead to everything else. It led me into other sciences of course — among them physics, chemistry, and biology — and also, by many winding paths, to poetry, literature, history, philosophy, art, music, and into conversation with some of the smartest and most creative people in the world.12. According to the writer, what is the main difficulty facing science writers?A. Finding new science topics.B. Meeting the reader’s expectations of science.C Overcoming the reader's unfamiliarity with science.D. Keeping up with the rapid developments in science.13. Why did the writer refuse to write about The Bionic Man?A. He had no expertise in the topic.B. He was not passionate about the topic.C. He did not realize the potential of the topic.D. He did not want to write about the same topic again.14. Which of the following statements about the writer is NOT true?A. He finds it difficult to get recognition from others as a science writer.B. He feels quite comfortable with the previous arguments he had with editors.C. A keen interest in astronomy contributes to his exploration of other disciplines.D. Astronomy helps him form a connection with some great minds in the world.15. Which word best describes the tone of the last paragraph?A. indifference B. amusement C. frustration D. satisfaction第二節(jié)    （共5小題，每小題2.5分，共12.5分）On May 7, 2008, three men robbed a bank in a city called Waldorf of Maryland in the USA. They drove away in a van with a bag of money. They thought they had escaped. But the bank had put a pack of chemicals in the money bag, and the pack exploded. ____16____ Soon afterward, the police arrested one of the robbers. How did the police find him so quickly? DNA from the robbers’ blood was found on the bag of money. DNA consists of genetic material that is found everywhere in our body, such as in our blood, skin, and saliva. It is our genetic fingerprint. All people have similar DNA, but no two people have the exact same DNA. ____17____The testing works like this: After a crime occurs, the police collect evidence from a crime scene. Some of this evidence may be DNA samples, such as hairs or blood. ____18____ The database is computerized, and it has millions of DNA samples in it. These DNA fingerprints are taken from people all over the country who have been arrested or convicted of crimes. If the DNA in the evidence matches someone’s DNA fingerprint, that person is probably guilty of the crime. But if the evidence does not match, the person is probably innocent. ____19____ If DNA evidence is not collected or stored properly, for example, the tests may give wrong results. But it is still more reliable than other types of evidence. Witnesses may identify the wrong person. Lawyers, jurors, judges, and the police can make mistakes. DNA testing is usually accurate. ____20____A. DNA testing is not perfect.B. The police then set up a DNA database in the country.C. The robbers dropped the bag, got out of the van, and ran away.D. The robbers didn’t think the chemicals were anything dangerous.E. How is DNA used to identify a criminal when a crime has been committed?F. The police then compare this DNA to DNA samples from an official database.G. It is the best way we have to prove that someone is guilty or innocent of a crime.第三部分 語言運用（共兩節(jié)，滿分30分）第一節(jié)    （共15小題，每小題1分，共15分）閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項。In life, do you choose to take the road everyone has taken, or do you choose the path that is best for you?

We even ____30____ to talk to a Danish woman who said, “We have a(n)    ____31____ in my country: when you go backwards to everyone else, it's because you're avoiding something.” I couldn't believe it.

To be honest, I thought wild animals would be more frightened of humans than this little creature was. The following morning I woke up in surprise because I felt something getting dropped on my face. As I opened my eyes and looked around, I saw the orangutan in the same position as it was last night. The only difference was that it was eating some type of fruit. After I had watched its behaviors for a short time, I realized that when it had done eating, it would drop the peel of the fruit on me. Never did I imagine that the animal would still be here. I began to pack up my gear so I could head out of the jungle while it was still light out. I also figured that if the orangutan was going to stick with me while I found my way out, I might as well give it a name. I took one hard look at it and the name Eduardo popped in my head. “You look like an Eduardo, so that’s what I am going to call you,” I said to it. After named him, Eduardo looked up at me and smiled a full-toothed smile that I had never seen any animal ever made before. My bag was packed, and, as I was about to set on, Eduardo latched onto my legs once again, thinking that I was going to leave him behind. “Come on, little guy. I guess you are coming with me,” I told him as we started to walk. Eduardo unlatched himself from me, climbed up the trees, and started to swing from the vines in front of me. “Huh,” I thought. “It’s like he’s leading the way for me.” I put my trust in this little creature and followed the directions it was giving me for a good hour. A little while later, I came to a complete stop when I realized that Eduardo had stopped. Being right in front of us was a not-so-nice looking tiger. Eduardo had stopped in the middle of hanging from a branch when he realized that the vicious animal was lying in my path. Paragraph 1:This was just great How was I supposed to get past this thing without it seeing me?____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2:I reached up and gave him a hug and said, “You, my friend, are a life saver. ”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
