D.Treatothersasyouwanttobetreated.【答案】4.B5.D6.C7.C【解析】【分析】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了一个叫T.J的小男孩是镇上出名的捣乱分子，在参加王牌训练营时，他出色的表现博得小组队员的认可，因此被选为团队的主席。对此，很多人产生了争议。最终T.J向所有人证明了他能做的很好。【4题详解】细节理解题。由第二段T,J.wasthemostcelebratedtroublemakerinhistown.可知，T，J是镇上最出名的捣乱分子。他的名声不好。故B选项正确。【5题详解】推理判断题。由第三段T.J.hadsomebrilliantthoughtsonthosesituations,whichwerewelcomedbyhisgroup.Bytheendoftheactivity,theotherstudentsontheteamwereimpressedwithhisconcernandideasandelectedT.J.co-chairmanoftheteam.可知，T.J.对这些情况有一些极好的想法，因此受到了团对的欢迎。到活动结束时，其他同学对他的关心的事和想法印象深刻，并选举T.J.为小组联合主席。这些表明他被认为胜任这项工作。故D选项正确。【6题详解】推理判断题。由第四段agroupofteacherswereexpressingtheirdisagreementstotheschoolprincipalabouthisbeingelectedco-chairman.Theprincipalremindedthemthatthepurposeoftheprogramwastouncoveranypositivefeelingandstrengthenitspracticeuntiltruechangecantakeplace.可知，人们对于T.J被选为联合主席有人同意,有人反对，产生了争议。故C选项正确。【7题详解】推理判断题。通读全文可知，T.J是镇上出了名捣蛋鬼。老师对他都无可奈何，通过参加王牌训练营，博得了小组成员的认可。从此T.J发生了蜕变，并最终向所有人证明了自己能做的很好。可以判断出作者想告诉读者，不能仅仅从外表看待一个人。故C选项正确。【点睛】做推理判断题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息，即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断，利用逆向思维或正面推理，从而推断出所隐含的深层含义。小题3的题干要求判断出人们对于T.J被选为小组联合主席的态度，我们从由第四段agroupofteacherswereexpressingtheirdisagreementstotheschoolprincipalabouthisbeingelectedco-chairman.Theprincipalremindedthemthatthepurposeoftheprogramwastouncoveranypositivefeelingandstrengthenitspracticeuntiltruechangecantakeplace.可知，这里的关键词为disagreements，uncoveranypositivefeeling。通过这些关键词我们可以看出有些对T.J被选为联合主席持支持态度，而有些则持反对态度。综合两种态度，我们推理出人们对这件事的态度是有争议的。故D选项正确。CManyofyoumayhaveusedSiri,avoiceassistantofUStechcompanyApple.Youonlyhavetosay“heySiri”anditwillanswertoyourcommand.However,wemaybesacrificingourprivacytoenjoythisconvenience.AccordingtoarecentreportbytheGuardian,Siricanbeaccidentallytriggeredandstartrecordingprivateconversations,suchasdiscussionsbetweendoctorsandpatients.Someoftheserecordingsarethengiventoworkersoutsidethecompanytoreview.AppleclaimedthedatawasusedtohelpSiriimprove,butuserswerenotinformedofthismeasureinthefirstplace.Apple’sSiriisnottheonlyvoiceassistanttocomeunderfire.In2018,Alexa,avoiceassistantdevelopedbyUStechcompanyAmazon,recordedaprivateconversationbetweenacoupleandsentittoastrangerwithouttheirpermission.Theseissuesdeepenedconcernsthattechcompaniesareinfringingusers’rightsofprivacy.Manypeoplehavelongfearedthattechcompaniesarelisteningandcollectingdatafromprivateconversations,reportedForbes.Usingthisdata,thirdpartycompaniescouldthenpaintanaccuratepictureofusers’habitsandpreferencesinordertoservethemmoretargetedadvertisements,orevenworse,sellthisprivatedata.Despitethisrisk,thepopularityofvoiceassistantseemstobeunstoppable.“Inthenearfuture,everythingfromyourlightingtoyourair-conditioningtoyourrefrigerator,yourcoffeemaker,andevenyourtoiletcouldbewiredtoasystemcontrolledbyvoice,”commentedTheAtlantic.ColinHorganwroteontheblogsiteMediumthathebelievedpeople’sdailyliveswillsoonbecomeasourceofdata.“Thesoundsofourhomes,thesymphonyoflife–laughing,crying,talking,shouting,sittinginsilence–willnolongerbeconsideredmemories,butdata,”hewrote.Todealwiththeissue,BlakeMorgan,reporterforTheAtlantic,believedthattheansweristransparency.“Allcompaniesneedtohavemessagingreadytoexplaintocustomerswhattheydowithprivatedata,”shewroteonTheAtlantic.8.Whatdoestheunderlinedsentencemean?A.Thereareotherfire-proofvoiceassistants.B.Othervoiceassistantsarealsobeingdeveloped.C.Thereareothervoiceassistantsbeingcriticized.D.Othervoiceassistantsalsoneedimprovements.9.Whatseemstobepeople’sbiggestconcernaboutvoiceassistants?A.Invadingtheirprivacy.

是由于它太令人害怕。有时也因为等级在很长一段时间里在某些特定社会中一直是很重要。人们也从来没有学过去质疑这些权威的东西。）排除A、B和D，故选C。13题详解】细节理解题。答案定位在第二段Toencouragesuchcreativity,therearemanynationalprizesofferedtostudentseveryyearfortheirscientificdiscoveriesandartisticaccomplishments.可知在美国，每年提供给学生们国家奖项是因为学生们被鼓励发展他们的创造力，故选D。【14题详解】推理判断题。答案定位在倒数第二段Thepurposeofthesearching,questioning,andarguingistofindthefactsinaparticularsituation,andthereforeasolution,sothattheworkofthebusinesscanprogressinthemosteffectivemannerpossible.可推知重要的是，对权威的质疑导致了有效的解决方案，故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。通过阅读文章，可知这篇文章主要讲了重要的是我们应该牢记，是个人的观点，而不是个人本身受到了质疑。这两者是截然不同的。探求、质疑和争论的目的是在特别的情况下发现真理找到答案，即质疑品质的发展，故选A。安徽省蚌埠市第二中学2019-2020学年高二英语上学期期中试题第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AIntroductionBlenheimPalaceisoneoftheEurope’slargestandgreatestpalaces.Itwasbuiltbetween1705and1722asarewardoftheBritishgovernmenttoJohnChurchill,1stDukeofMarlborough,fordefeatingKingLouisXlV'sarmyatBlenheim,asmallBavarianvillageontheDanubeRiver.ThepalacewasdesignedbySirJohnVanbrugh,whichdisplayedstrengthandarmglory.Itisthelargestnon-royalbuildinginEnglandandisnowlistedbytheUNESCOasaWorldHeritageSite.WinstonChurchillIn1874,thepalacewasthebirthplaceoftheduke’smostfamousdescendant.WinstonChurchill,whowastobecometheUK’sPrimeMinister(somewouldsayBritain’sgreatest20th-centurypolitician)andNobelprizewinnerforliterature.ItisalsoinBlenheimthatWinstongotmarriedtoClementineHozierin1908.Alastingexhibitionisdevotedtotheman’slife,workandwritings.WinstonandhiswifeareburiedinBladonChurchwithinthepalace.OpeningHours&AdmissionBlenheimisstillthehomeofthe11thDukeofMarlboroughandisthereforenotopenallyearround(althoughtheparkis).Thepalaceopensitsdoorstovisitorsfrom12Februaryto11December.Entrytothepalace,parkandgardenscost£11,50duringthelowseasonand£13duringthepeakseason(Easterweekendandfrom28MaytollSeptember),or£6/£8fortheparkandgardensonly.Theparkisopenall-yearroundfrom9amto4:45pm(lastentry).Admissionis£2,50foradultsand£1.50forchildren.Notethatnumerousdiscountsexistforseniors,students,childrenandgroups.Pleaserefertotheofficialwebsiteformoredetails.1.WhatcanbelearnedaboutBlenheimPalace?A.ItistheEurope’slargestandgreatestpalaces.B.ItisthelargestroyalbuildinginEngland.C.Itisnowoneoftheworld’sheritagesites.D.ItwasbuiltinhonorofPrimeMinisterWinstonChurchill.2.Whatdoestheunderlinedwordinthetextmean?A.Ahousekeeper.B.Achildorachild’schild.C.AfamilydoctorD.Agrandparent3.WhycannotpeoplevisitBlenheimPalacealltheyearround?A.Theyaretoobusytoaffordthetime.B.Repairsarebadlyneededforthepalace.C.Someseasonsarenotconvenientforvisitors.D.The11thDukeofMarlboroughstilllivesthere,【答案】1.C2.B3.D【解析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了欧洲最大最宏伟宫殿之一的BlenheimPalace布伦海姆宫（别名丘吉尔庄园）。【1题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中andisnowlistedbytheUNESCOasaWorldHeritageSite.可知，BlenheimPalace被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产，所以它是世界文化遗产之一，故选C。【2题详解】词义猜测题。根据WinstonChurchill部分中In1874,thepalacewasthebirthplaceoftheduke’smostfamousdescendant,WinstonChurchill,whowastobecometheUK’sPrimeMinister.可知，画线词与其它两个词组成的短语和WinstonChurchill是同位语，而从第一段Itwasbuiltbetween1705and1722asarewardoftheBritishgovernmenttoJohnChurchill可知，宫殿是英国政府为奖励JohnChurchill而修建的，这两位的姓氏是一样的，画线词WinstonChurchill在JohnChurchill之后，结合四个选项，只有B选项符合逻辑，故选B。【3题详解】细节理解题。根据OpeningHours&Admission部分中Blenheimisstillthehomeofthe11thDukeofMarlboroughandisthereforenotopenallyearround(althoughtheparkis),可知，现在布伦海姆宫仍然是第11任马尔波罗公爵的家，因此不能常年开放，故选D。BInOctober2013,DavionOnlymadeanappealontheInternet.Hehadlearnedthathisbiologicalmotherhaddiednotlongbefore.”MynameisDavionandI'vebeeninfostercare(寄养照管)sinceIwasborn,"hesaid,“butI'mnotgivinguphope."Theheartbreakingappealspreadquickly,andOnly'sfosteragencyreceivedcallsfrommorethan10,000people.OnlyendeduptravellingtoOhiotolivewithafamily.ButafterOnlygotintoaphysicalfightwithoneofhiselderwould-bebrothers,thefamilychangedtheirminds.BackinFlorida,Onlypassedthroughfourdifferenttemporaryhomesoverthefollowingyear,untilhecalledConnieGoing,hisadoptioncaseworker,tomakeaspecialrequest.OnlyhadknownGoingfornearlytenyears,andhadaskedeveryyearifshewouldadopthim,butshealwayshesitated.“Ialwaysbelievedtherewasabetterfamilythanusoutthere,"Goingsaidinaninterview.ButlastJuly,whenOnlycalledandaskedagainifshemightadopthim,Goingsaidsomethingfeltdifferent."Whenheaskedme,myheartfeltthisacheandIjustknewhewasmyson,"shesaid.SoGoing,52,invitedOnlytostartspendingtimewiththerestofherfamily-hertwodaughters,Sydney,21,andCarly17,andasonTaylor,14,whoshealsoadoptedoutoffostercare.Eventually,afterseeinghowwellthearrangementwasworking,Going,whohadrentedabiggerhome,startedadoptingOnly.OnlymovedinwithherfamilylastDecember.HeofficiallyjoinedGoing'sfamilyonApril22,2015whentheadoptionpaperswentthrough."Today,Ifeelblessedandhonoredtohavebeenchosentobetheparentofallmychildren,"Goingsaid.4.Bymakingtheappeal,DavionOnlyhopedthatA.serviceinhisfosteragencywouldimproveB.hisbiologicalmotherwouldcometohimC.afosteragencywouldaccepthimD.hewouldbeadoptedbyafamily5.DavionOnlydidn'tlivewiththefamilyinOhiobecauseA.hehatedlivingwiththemB.theyfinallyrefusedtoaccepthimC.hehasreceivedanotherinvitationD.heoftenfoughtwithhiswo
