25、first piloted flying car.CVocational education is having a moment in the United States, as more job training programs are carried out in schools. But these efforts require a change in thinking about what the process looks like, one tliat isn't built only on pushing students to either a college-b

26、ound or a vocation-bound track, a long-standing criticism of vocational education efforts in the U.S. One place to look for inspiration may be Finland. The country's vocational education and training(VET) opens not only to students after they complete nine years ofschool, but also to adults look

27、ing for a career change or improvement in vocational skills.Finnish students complete nine years of comprehensive education, after which students have an option: They can continue on an academic track and prepare for university, or they can choose to begin vocational training. Either way, the proces

28、s takes three years, and both sets of students can, following the completion of their tracks, apply for university or enter the workforce. Students can even do both at the same time if they want to.One reason for VET's success in Finland is the wide range of occupations for which training is off

29、ered. For most Americans, the idea of vocational education calls to mind welding（焊接）or auto repair. Such training is offered in Finland, of course, but other fields, like education, tourism, cooking, social services and gardening, are also included in Finnish vocational education. VET courses are ev

30、en available for home economics so people can learn to manage their households.VET isn't just for teenagers and young adults deciding what they want to do with their lives. VET programs are available to older adults as well. These adults may want to improve their skills in their current occupati

31、ons, or they may be looking to change their careers entirely, from a driver to a baker. VET programs can help them achieve those goals. These courses may cost money for adults, between 50 and 60 euros, but many are free of charge.A survey of VET students found high satisfaction with the process. 64

32、percent of those who responded to the survey said they felt the vocational skills they learned as a result of their training were enough for work, and another 70 percent felt confident they could find work after graduation as a result of the skills they learned.28 .

D.Thorough.六校联合调研考试 高三英语试题 第5页共10页Concerned about pollution and congestion （拥塞），a growing number of local go

36、vernments are trying to reduce the number of drivers ill Europe's big cities. Some, like London and Stockholm, have introduced congestion charges to discourage driving during peak hours. Paris has tried banning cars from driving on certain days, depending on whether they have even or odd number

37、plates. Perhaps the most ambitious plan to curb cars comes from Oslo. Norway's capital.The change that is most easily to be noticed in Oslo is somewhat different from that in other European cities. Late last yean the government removed some 700 parking spaces from the city centre, replacing them

38、 with benches, bicycles and more pavements. The mere 50 or so spots that remain are largely reserved for handicapped residents and local businesses that rely on deliveries. Another big change has come in the form of zoning reform. Some roads in the city centre have been closed off to private cars; o

39、thers have been changed so that traffic can only flow in one direction.Enforcement has been severe, though. The city government has placed signs informing drivers of the new rules, but not everyone has paid them much attention. In addition. Norway's conservatives believe strongly in the idea of

40、car ownership. and shopkeepers worry that fewer cars might mean fewer customers. It is still too early to assess how effective the new measures have been. Still, early data show that pedestrian traffic in the city centre was up by 10% in the fourth quarter of 2018 over a year earlier, which suggests

41、 the reforms are working as intended.Hanna Marcussen, vice-mayor for urban development and a member of the Green Party, notes that Oslo's most successfill shops are on the lugli street, where most customers are pedestrians anyway. The government is busy compiling tax records to measure the econo

42、mic unpact of its refbnns. Research on Stockholm's congestion-pricing scheme finds that the benefits from factors such as shorter travel times and safer roads far outweigh the fees paid by drivers.The fact tliat the city's efforts to control traffic have been controversial has forced the gov

43、ernment to take an incremental （递增的）approach, constantly negotiating with suspicious business owners. Ms Marcussen compares the government's traffic reforms to Norway's public-smoking ban, which was passed in 2004. She said many people complained before the law was passed, but few today woul

44、d demand loudly to let people smoke in pubs again.32 . Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “curb" m paragraph 1?A. Support.B. Control.C. Replace.D. Abandon.33 .What is the most visible change in Oslo?A. The removal of public parking.B. Creating more one-way traff

45、ic.C. The limitation on cars in rush hours.D. Placing strict restrictions on private cars.34 .What message is conveyed in the third paragraph?A. Cars are hardly banned.B. Anti-car policies are in vain.C. The car industry is declining.D. The reforms haven't come easily.35 .What does Ms. Marcussen

46、 mean in the end?A. New things need to be tested repeatedly.B. Timing is important to the success of reforms.C. More efforts are to be put in the traffic reforms.D. Most people will finally support the traffic reforms.第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。It's not s

47、ecretour dependence on fossil fuels for energy has put an unbearable strain onthe environment. Alternative forms of energy, such as wind and solar power, are often either too inefficient or too expensive to permanently replace conventional energy sources, such as coal and oil.36 This has led to solu

48、tions that some might consider unbelievable.Take the cactus （仙人掌）for example. Believe it or not. scientists have discovered that one cactus, called nopal, can be transformed into clean, renewable energy. 37 The gas the rotting cactus gives off can then power a generator that creates electricity. Wha

49、t's more, nopal is cheap and easy to grow, and the pulp （果肉）can be used as fertilizer, leaving no waste at all!An even more common plant product that could be used as fuel is sugar. Researchers found that by processing sugar with water and certain proteins, you can create hydrogena majoralternat

50、ive to gasoline. And sugar is easy to get. 3839 The bioluminescent Aequorea victoria jellyfish, for instance, produces a protein that, when applied to aluminum （S） and exposed to UV light, generates a tiny amount of power. While it might not produce enough power to make a difference to the environme

51、nt, it could still help heal people by powering microscopic devices used in advanced medicine. If the technology advances far enough, it could perhaps be used on a larger scale in the future.Just as the Aequorea victoria jellyfish produces a useful protein, human beings, too, produce something that

52、can be used as a power sourcebody heat! When lots of people gathertogether in a mall or on a subway, all that body heat adds up and can be converted into power for homes and offices. 40 Some selected buildings in London. Stockholm and Paris are ninning on people power.A.To create fuel, all you need

53、to do is let the nopal rot.B.This has already been implemented in several cities.C. As a result, scientists have to really think outside the box.D. Sugar is the primary source of energy for every cell in the body.E. The future looks bright when we observe how creative humans can be.F. Besides the pl

54、ant kingdom, the animal kingdom has plenty to offer, too.G.Thus, in the future, we may have to get used to putting it in our cars as well as in our coffee.第三部分语言运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Two years ago, Kiah Twissehnan was working for the Kentucky
