山东省临沭县2017届初中生第二届学科素养展示大赛英语试题(全国县级联考)

根据短文理解,选择正确答案。    

    Is your TV connected to the Internet? What about your chair, or your fridge? Probably they are not. But in the future, most things in your home may be connected, thanks to the so-called "Internet of things".

    The Internet of things may be coming sooner than you think. Earlier this year, A Samsung CEO spent a lot of time talking about the Internet things. He said that five years from now, every Samsung product will be part of the Internet of things, no matter whether it's a remote control or a washing machine.

    So, how do household(家用的) objects that are part of the Internet of things work? Well, think of a common chair. When connected to the Internet, the chair warms up when it knows the user has just walked into the room and is feeling cold.

    An Internet-connected camera could help people feel safer in their homes. It can know people's faces and has an infrared sensor(红外传感器), so even if it's dark it can see when someone passes by and send you a message on your smartphone to let you know who's there. If the person is someone you don't know, it can tell you that, too.

    But according to MIT Technology Review, whether companies are connecting dog food bowls or security systems to the Internet, there may be some problems. For example, many early connected-home objects don't have much built-in security, which means they could be hacked(被黑客攻击). Moreover, it could be difficult to get these new machines to work together especially when they are made by different companies. To fight this, many companies have joined the Open Interconnect Consortium, which had 45 members by late 2014.

    So, picture this: you enter your home. The temperature changes to make you feel comfortable. Your favorite music starts playing for you. Do you think that this would be a good thing? It may happen sooner than you think.

(1)、What does the article mainly talk about?
A、Advantages of living with the Internet. B、Disadvantages of living with the Internet. C、The coming " Internet of things". D、The impossible " Internet of things".
(2)、Which of the following can support the idea "how will household objects connected to the Internet work?"
A、A warm chair connected to the Internet. B、Dog food bowls connected to the Internet. C、A remote control made by the Samsung Company. D、An Internet-connected camera with an infrared sensor.
(3)、Paragraph 5 is mainly about _________.
A、the possible problems of" the Internet of things" B、the problems with early connected-home objects C、how to get different new machines working together D、how to solve the " the Internet of things" problems
(4)、Which of the following words best describes the writer's tone(语气) in the article?
A、Doubtful B、Hopeful C、Humorous D、Worried
举一反三
    I am a professor of sports and exercise so I often deal with nervousness in my research with sports people. Actually, most people experience nervousness at some time or another.
    If you are feeling anxious, my advice is to first find the cause or causes. Make s list of those things that are making you nervous and work out which ones you can do something about. Focus all of your efforts on managing the causes that you can control.
    Most people cannot tell the difference between controllable(可控制的) and uncontrollable causes, so things they can't control become a big reason for nervousness. Dealing with this is very important if people want to keep a healthy mind.
    Simply try to accept the uncontrollable causes of nervousness. You might be worried about the weather on a big day, an accident or an attack on the train, or perhaps just things that other people are doing at work. The results may be very important but there is still no use worrying because you can't control any of these things. Accept that you can't control everything. Once you understand this, it becomes easier not to worry.
    If a situation, such as swimming, is causing you to be anxious, try to face it as often as possible so that you can get used to it.
    It can often help to think about yourself doing the thing that make s you nervous—then close your eyes and imagine it going well. Imagine how the flight or job interview is going to happen so that you can get used to it. This will help you understand that the thing you fear most is probably not going to happen.

 阅读理解

By drawing pictures on a cup of tea, chabaixi, an ancient Chinese tea art, has become popular recently. Chang Zhifeng, an inheritor(传承人) of chabaixi, noticed from a TV show that many people showed great interest in this art. 

Chabaixi can create different pictures such as bum boos and mountains. There are many steps, from grinding(磨碎) tea, pouring boil cd water, stirring(搅拌) the mixture, to finally drawing the pictures. After seven times of pouring water and stirring, there will be enough dark foam(泡沫). Then we can draw pictures on it with clear water and a stick. The process of drawing, or dlancha, must be finished in 20 minutes before the foam disappears. 

"Chabaixi is one of the many forms of tea art in China. It becomes popular not only because it is a special Chinese tradition, but also because it gives us a window to see people's lifestyle in the Song Dynasty." Zhang said. 

Years ago, this special art was close to disappearing completely. Zhang Zhifeng started researching the origins(起源) of chabaixi in the 1980 s and brought the art back in 2009 after scars of sting and practicing. Chang thought it was really meaningful. In 2017, this art was listed as part of China's Intangible Cultural Heritage (非物质文化遗产). 

"This art is key to the tea culture of the Song Dynasty, and it would be a shame to let it disappear. It is our duty to pass it on," Zhang said. 

 语法填空

You will get different answers if you ask people from different countries, " Could you tell me the way to the post office?"

In Japan, people use landmarks(地标). For example, the Japanese will say to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} visitor, " Go straight down to the corner, turn left at the big hotel {#blank#}2{#/blank#} go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop. "

In America, the Midwestern land is wide with few towns or buildings. So instead {#blank#}3{#/blank#} landmarks, people tell you directions and distance. In Kansas, for example, people will say, "Go north two {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (mile), turn east and then go another mile. "

People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions {#blank#}5{#/blank#} few visitors understand their language. A Greek will often say, "Follow me. " Then he or she will lead you to go across the streets {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(get) to the post office. 

Sometimes if a person doesn't know the answer to {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(you) question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, "Sorry, I have no idea. " But in Yucatán, Mexico, no one {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(answer), "I don't know. " People in Yucatán think "I don't know" is not polite. They {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(usual) give an answer, but often a wrong one. Therefore, it is much {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (easy) for visitors to get lost in Yucatán.
