浙江省台州市黄岩区2019年初中英语学业适应性考试卷(含听力音频)

阅读下面材料,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's your online shopping! Imagine a world where your shopping was dropped off on your doorstep by a delivery (投递) drone (无人机). Well, many companies are working to make this idea a reality. Among them, Amazon and UPS are just some of the front runners in the race to have the first ever business drone delivery service.

Pros:

    ①Fast. Delivery drones can cut down the time of delivery to just 30 minutes.

    ②Environmentally friendly. Companies like UPS have started that the use of drones would cut down on waste gas (气体).

    ③Cheap. Though exact prices for drone delivery aren't known, companies such as Amazon suggest deliveries could be as cheap as $1.

    ④Emergencies. Drones can fly straight to areas they're needed without using any roads.

From Dispatch (分派) to Doorstep:

    Usually products available for drone delivery will be stored somewhere nearby. Customers will choose these products through shopping apps or websites. The suggested weight to be carried is no more than 2.3 kilograms. Once the products are put into the drone, it will take off from the dispatch center. It will fly below 120m and avoid any "No Fly Zones" like airports for safety reasons. Before landing, a pad will be placed in the customer's garden for the drone's landing. After the drone puts down its product, it will rise to return to the dispatch center. So a drone delivery could one day be just a touch of an app with your finger.

Cons:

    ①Weather like strong winds, lightning storms and heavy rainfall may influence deliveries.

    ②Dispatch centers will have to be built within certain distance.

    ③Drones might be unable to land safely in high-rise buildings.

    ④Something will have to be done to make sure about the safety of the products and of people walking below.

    The future of flying transportation

    Though the delivery drone service is alive with new technology, we are a long way from seeing them through the air. There are still many difficulties such as flight law making. It's said that by 2021 we might see the beginning of drone delivery systems in action.

(1)、If you choose drone delivery service, you may ________.

①make air less polluted

②only need to pay a little

③get your product at any place

④have to send the drone back yourself

⑤get your product in less than an hour

A、①③④ B、①②⑤ C、②③⑤ D、②④⑤
(2)、Suppose a law for drone delivery is going to be made, which of the following should be considered according to the passage?
A、Customers should only order products on apps. B、Once products are delivered, they cannot be returned. C、We should always put the safety of products in the first place. D、Drones should never fly higher than 120m for safety reasons.

Jacaranda is from South America and was introduced to Kunming in the 1980s. Each May, the city is in purple as the trees are full of the flowers, attracting a number of visitors. Kunming is known as the "kingdom of flowers". In recent years, the jacaranda has been helping further increasing the popularity of the city.

jacaranda

I spent my college time in Kunming ten years ago. So I still have feelings for the city. Back then, we couldn't see these flowers. They are suddenly famous in recent years. They're really beautiful, and I feel happy to see the city improving.

The local government is also taking the chance to organize many activities to develop the tourism. During National Labour Day holiday, the visitors there almost doubled compared to the last year. You can buy all kinds of popular local foods and cultural and creative products here at this special market. This ice cream in the shape of jacaranda flowers is just one of the most popular products here. During weekends there are also concerts to greet visitors. Now, special sightseeing buses are also in service to help people better enjoy the beautiful flowers. It's a different experience. We just walked around but now we can take the bus to enjoy the flowers. It feels great, and we can take many different kinds of pictures.

The local government says they will further make good use of the value of the flowers by expanding planting areas and holding more creative activities.

These days, if you want to travel from New York to Beijing, the flight will take about 16 hours. You also have to wait at the airport, and sometimes you have to transfer onto a different airplane. If you add up all of the time, the trip will take at last 20 hours. But in the future, the trip from New York to Beijing might only take two hours.

Right now, a company is developing (开发) something called ET3—"evacuated tube (真空管) transport technology". Here's how it works. A tube goes all the way from New York to Beijing. The tube is only a few meters wide. Capsules (舱) move through the tube. Six people can sit in one capsule.

For international travel, the capsules can travel at about 6,500 kilometers per hour. Why can they travel so fast? Because there isn't any air in the ET3 tubes, the capsules can move at such a high speed. Also, the capsules are quite light. Each only weighs 183 kilograms. There are other advantages (优点) of ET3. Because it use electricity, it's quite clean. Also, it's a lot quieter than air planes and cars. Last, ET3 tube and capsules don't need much building materials.

Of course, there are still some problems about ET3. The biggest problem is that right now it would cost a lot to build ET3. To lower the cost, we will need much better technology.

However, it's still exciting to think of how ET3 will change the travel in the future. Who knows? Maybe someday you can have lunch in New York and dinner in Beijing.

If you want to change your mood(心情) into a happy one, there are some suggestions(建议) on how you can get into a happy mood.

Watch a funny show or movie. This is a great way to divert(转移) your attention away from whatever is making you feel sad. A funny show or movie will also get you to laugh. Laughing will make you feel happier.

Do something you like to get you into a happy mood. For example, what gets me into a happy mood is getting a massage(按摩), going out to a new restaurant, hiking with some friends, making life goals and planning my next trip.

Listen to some happy music. Research has shown that music can help form our happy mood.  Listen to different types of music. Find out which music can get you into the happy mood.

Make a difference in someone's life. Help a stranger in need or simply ask your neighbors what you can do to help them. Doing something for someone else will not only make them feel happy but also make you happy.

Take care of your body. Sometimes if we don't eat, sleep or take care of our body, feelings of sadness will take over. So get 6-8 hours of rest. Eat three meals a day with snacks between them. Every day do some simple exercise. When you feel your best, getting into a happy mood will become easier.

Doing "Clean" Exercise

When you go for a run outside, chances are that you'll find rubbish all around you. Do you just go past it, or do you stop to pick it up? If you choose the second, you are part of the latest popular sport in the West: plogging. 

The word"plogging" comes from the Swedish phrase"plocka upp (pick up)" and the English word"jogging (running slowly)". What a plogger needs is a rubbish bag and a pair of gloves to protect his or her hands. While collecting rubbish, ploggers learn to classify (分类) and deal with it correctly too. 

Plogging seems simple but it does a lot of good to both the environment and your health. It can not only make the world greener, but also get you full body exercise. For example, a30- minute plogging burns around 288 calories(卡路里), compared to 235 calories burnt from just jogging. 

So next time you go out jogging, why not carry a rubbish bag and collect some rubbish along the way? Your body and the environment will thank you. 

Let's go {#blank#}1{#/blank#}!

The latest popular sport!

Just need{#blank#}2{#/blank#} and a pair of gloves!

Correctly classify and{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the rubbish!

It's simple but helpful to{#blank#}4{#/blank#} and your body! Make the world{#blank#}5{#/blank#}and yourself a lot.

Join us now! The world says THANK YOU!
