三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Every time we get on a plane, we’re asked to either turn off our phones or change them to flight mode—it’s for “security reasons”.

But according to The Conversation website, having to turn our ___36___ off on a plane is “a service issue, not a safety one”.

When we speak on our phones in the air, they can cause interference (干扰) to the aircraft’s radios. Pilot can hear this interference in their headphones. “It’s the same ___37___ you’ll be familiar (熟悉的) with, if you put your mobile too close to a speaker,”the Mirror noted. “It is not safety critical, but is annoying (烦人的) for sure.”Though speaking on a phone during a flight isn’t___38___, from the viewpoint of service, it isn’t still a good idea.

When we make or receive a call on the ground, we connect to a call tower that ___39___ all calls within an 80-kilometer radius (半径). As we move from place to place we are “handed on” to different cell towers.

As US scientist Sven Bilen ___40___, for this system to work, there are “built-in”expectations (期待): They shouldn’t be too many “handoffs”; people shouldn’t be traveling faster than car speeds and phone users should be close to the ___41___.

If we were to make phone calls while we flew, however, none of theseexpectations would be met. And even ___42___, our cellphones would stop working.

But now things are beginning to change. If we ___43___ can’t speak during a flight, we can use other phone functions. For example, Airbus A330 of Emirates Airlines (阿联酋航空) has inflight wifi to make passengers send and receive short messages in the air. In the future, as Bilen points out, it may be ___44___ for air travelers to make and receive calls freely.

The breakthrough could be “pico cells”, which are small cell towers on the phone itself. There would no longer be connections ___45___ between phones and the ground and therefore there would be no danger of disruption (破坏) to phone service.

One day, perhaps, we will be chatting in the air as much as we chat on the ground.

36. A. modes B. radios C. phones D. flights

37. A. voice B. sound C. hearing D. noise

38. A. uncomfortable B. tiring C. dangerous D. impolite

39. A. deals with B. talks with C. agrees with D. compare with

40. A. minds B. refuses C. explains D. improves

41. A. sky B. sign C. phone D. ground

42. A. bad B. worse C. slow D. slower

43. A. yet B. also C. even D. still

44. A. possible B. famous C. honest D. strange

45. A. talked B. made C. warned D. improved

In central London, there are fireworks and performances with all kinds of acts and special guests. Celebrations include fashion shows and Chinese hip-hop acts, as well as traditional performances with Chinese acrobats. Chinatown is busy. The streets are decorated with lucky red lanterns and full of craft (工艺品) and food stalls (货推).

Everyone knows by now that plastic pollution is a huge problem for theenvironment. Beijing, for example, has dealt with this by banning (禁止) thin plastic bags, plastic tableware (餐具) and other plastic items in supermarket, restaurants and hotels since May 1, 2020.

But an even better solution might be on the way. Researchers at a French company called Carbios have discovered a bacterial enzyme that can break down plastic. The enzyme, which was first found in compost (堆肥) leaves, turns plastic into chemical “building blocks”that can then be used to create new products, according to the Guardian.

The new enzyme was uncovered in research that was published in the journal Nature. Researchers studied over 100,000 microorganisms (微生物) to find one that could break down plastic quickly. The leaf compost enzyme was first discovered in 2012. Scientists changed its genes (基因), allowing it to break down 90 percent of one ton of plastic in less than 10 hours.

“It had been completely forgotten, but it turned out to be the best,” said Professor Alain Marty, chief science officer at Carbios.

The enzyme especially breaks down PET, a type of plastic that is most commonly used to produce plastic bottles and food packaging. It is the fifth most common type of plastic that we use.

Carbios said it is working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle—major consumers of plastic themselves—to develop their research and start using the enzyme on an industrial scale (范围), according to Forbes.

49. According to the passage, what is a huge problem for the environment?

A. Plastic bags.

B. Plastic tableware.

C. Plastic bottles.

D. Plastic pollution.

50. What does the underlined word “enzyme” in paragraph 2 mostly probably stand

for?

A. A type of plastic that we use.

B. A chief science officer at Carbios.

C. A French company called Carbios.

D. A thing that can break down plastic.

51. What can we know about the enzyme according to the passage?

A. It was used to create new things.

B. It was first found in compost leaves.

C. It was studied by the journal Nature.

D. It was never been forgotten by the scientists.

52. Why is Carbios working together with companies like Pepsi and Nestle?

A. To start using plastic.

B. To make more money.

C. To sell bottles and food.

D. To develop their research.

Du Fu (712-770), one of the greatest poets in China, is familiar to most of us. However, Du has remained largely unknown in the Western world.

The one-hour documentary (纪录片) Du Fu: China’s Greatest Poet, introduces the great poet to Western audiences. As the first English-language documentary about Du, it compares him to Dante and Shakespeare, two of the greatest literature (文学) masters of the West.

In the film, British historian Michael Wood explores the poet’s life. He visits a number of places, such as the poet’s birthplace Gongyi in Henan province and the Du Fu Thatched Cottage (杜甫草堂) in Chengdu, Sichuan, where Du used to live. Along the way, he meets and talks to people who help to tell the fascinating story of the poet. The film also includes interviews with scholars (学者) and recitals (朗诵) of Du’s works by British actor Sir Ian McKellen, who is known for performing Shakespeare’s works.

The documentary explains why Du’s works have been popular for centuries. “Chinese people really value the recording of history and Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting (反映) history in his poetry. That’s because historical events are mirrored in his own life and spiritual (精神的) journey,”said Zeng Xiangbo, a professor at Renmin University.

Du lived under the rule of the Tang Emperor Xuanzong (713-756), a time of prosperity (繁荣). He was a civil servant (文职人员) in the Tang court (朝廷). But as the An Lushan Rebellion of 755 floored the empire, he escaped, took his family on the road as refugees (难民), and suffered starvation (饥饿) and poverty. Through ups and downs, the poet never stopped writing, pouring out his concern for his country and people, as well as celebrating the simple joys of life. Known as China’s “saint ofpoetry”, he wrote about 1,400 poems that are still with us today.

53. Which of the following is one of the greatest masters of the West?

A. Dante.

B. Du Fu.

C. Michael Wood.

D. Sir Ian Mckellen.

54. What can we know about the documentary?

A. It is famous in the Western world.

B. It introduces Du to Western people.

C. Du visits a number of places in China.

D. Du is known as China’s “saint of poetry”.

55. Why are Du’s works popular for centuries?

A. Because Du’s works are still with us today.

B. Because Du is one of the greatest poets in China.

C. Because Du is the best at recording history in his works.

D. Because Du is good at celebrating the simple joys of life.

56. From Du’s life, we can know that ________.

A. Du left his family in the war

B. Du lived in a hard life all the time

C. Du stopped writing because of hunger

D. Du worried about his country and people

(an extract from Pride and Prejudice)

‘I hope, my dear.’ said Mr Bennet to his wife at breakfast the next morning, ‘that you have told the cook to send up a good dinner today, as I am expecting a visitor.’‘Who is it, my dear? I know of nobody who is coming, unless Charlotte Lucas happens to call in,and I hope my dinner are good enough for her.’

‘The person I’m talking about is a gentleman and a stranger.’

Mrs Bennet’s eyes shone with excitement. ‘It’s Mr Bingley, I’m sure! Why, Jane, you never mentioned it! Well, I’ll be extremely glad to see him. Lydia, my love, ring the bell. I must speak to the cook at once.’

‘It is not Mr Bingley,’ said her husband. ‘It’s a person whom I have never seenbefore.’

This caused general astonishment (惊讶), and he had the pleasure of being eagerly questioned by his wife and five daughters all at the same time. Having amused by himself for some time with their curiosity, he finally explained. ‘I have recently received a letter from my nephew (侄子)，Mr Collins, who,as you know, will inherit (继承) all my property when I die, and may throw you out of his house as soon as he wants.’

...

‘But I tell you what, my dears,’ she said brightly, ‘I’m giving a little supper party for some of the officers tomorrow. I’ll ask Mr Philips to visit Mr Wickham and invite him to come too. Will you all come as well?’

The girls were delighted(高兴的)and agreed at once to this arrangement, and the whole group walked back to Longbourn, happily discussing the enjoyable evening they were going to have. Mr Collins had been very impressed with Mrs Philips’ politeness, and when they reached Longbourn, he complimented (称赞) Mrs Bennet on her sister’s elegance and charming manners.

The next evening the carriage took him and his five cousins to Meryton, and the girls had the pleasure of hearing, as they entered the hall, that Mr Wickham had accepted their uncle’s invitation, and was at that moment in the house.

When Mr Collins was shown into the sitting-room, and had time to look around and admire it, he said immediately to Mrs Philips, ‘Madam, I must compliment you on the size and furniture of this room. Really, I could almost imagine myself in the smaller summer breakfast room at Rosings!’

This remark (评论) did not at first please his hostess very much, but when she heard from him what Rosings was, and who its owner was, and how much Lady Latherine’s furniture co st, she realized what a great compliment it was. During the evening Mr Collins found Mrs Philips a kind and attentive listener, which was fortunate, as the Bennet girls could not bring themselves to listen to him any longer.

57. Who is the visitor Mr Bennet is expecting?

A. Mr Bingley.

B. Mr Collins.

C. Mr Philips.

D. Mr Wickham.58. Why did Mrs Bennet ask Lydia to ring the cook?

A. Because she had never seen the visitor before.

B. Because she thought Mr Bingley was the visitor.

C. Because she knew the visitor was a gentleman and a stranger.

D. Because she disliked the breakfast that she had in the morning.

59. According to the extract, Mrs Bennet is Mr Philips’________.

A. friend

B. sister

C. hostess

D. neighbour

60. Why didn’t Mr Collin’s remark please Mrs Philips at first?

A. Because she didn’t invite Mr Collins to enter the hall.

B. Because she didn’t want to listen to Mr Collins any longer.

C. Because she had no idea what Rosings was, and who its owners was.

D. Because she found that Mr Collins wasn’t a kind and attentive listener.

A）阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Becoming an adult means different things in different cultures. However, no matter where you are from, it means you will need to take on new responsibilities. That’s why in many cultures, there is a “coming of age” ceremony (成人礼) to introduce young people to their new identities. Let’s look at some of them.

France

This nation’s traditional coming-of-age ceremony is known as “le Bal”, or, to give it its full title, “le Bal des Debutantes”—Debutante Ball (初次社交舞会).

Le Bal is a fashion event, held in November each year, for an invited group of girls aged between 16 and 22. Last year was the 26th le Bal event. The girls aren’t only French, but come from many other countries too. They wear fashionable clothes from the best designers in the world.

The event was inspired (受启发的) by the debutante balls that began in England in the 1600s and ended in the 1950s. As these balls, young women from the highest parts of society attended, showing that they were ready to be married to wealthy men. Nowadays, it’s a charity event, used t o raise money for good causes.

Latin America

Some coming-of-age traditions are not unique to countries but instead celebrated by regions and cultures. One such tradition is quinceanera (成人礼), the celebration of a girl’s 15th birthday. It’s observed through out Latin America, as well as Hispanic (西班牙) communities across the US.

Once, quinceanera symbolized (代表) a very traditional idea of what a woman should be. Before their special day, girls were taught cooking, sewing(缝纫) and other household skills. Marriage was expected to follow shortly after.

One important tradition that’s still alive, however, is known as “15 candles”. Toward the end of her party, the girl gives a candle to each of the 15 females (女性) who she thinks are the most important in her life. The candles symbolize the past, and everything she will leave behind as she becomes a woman.

Japan

Coming of Age Day is a yearly national holiday which is held in January in Japan. On that day, those who have celebrated their 20th birthday in the past year all officially come of age.

Coming of Age Day is a colorful occasion. The girls dress in traditional kimonos (和服). They do their hair in fancy styles and wear make-up.

But what does coming of age actually mean in Japan? As some other places, it marks the time when a person is given new rights and responsibilities as an adult.

B) 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词。

An exhibition about the Grand Canal—Padding for a Thousand Miles (《周楫千里—大运河文化展》)—ended at the National Museum of China in Beijing on March 1.

The Grand Canal is more than 2,500 years old. It is made up of the Beijing -Hangzhou Grand Canal, the Sui and Tang Grand Canal, and the Zhedong Canal. At n___91___ 3,200 kilometers long, it is t he world’s longest man-made waterway. It has influenced the development of Chinese economics (经济) and culture for h___92___ of years.

Before it was b___93___, people in ancient China used horses and oxen, or simply traveled by foot, to trade goods. It was out of the question to transport large-sized goods. After the Grand Canal connected the north and the south, business and cultural exchanges were finally able to develop f___94___.

In fact, the Grand Canal played an i___95___ role in the building of the Forbidden City. Materials from different parts of the country were sent to Beijing via the canal, i___96___ bricks fired in Shandong and Jiangsu and timber(木材) cut in Hunan. Peking roast duck even owes (把......归功于) its beginnings to the canal. White lake ducks in the s___97___ were shipped to Beijing. They were then r___98___ to make Peking roast duck.

Zhou Zhihua from Hangzhou grew up next to the canal. He said people from all walks of life—businessmen, dock (码头) workers and drivers—would often g___99___ along the canal. They shared their e__100___, traditions, and culture with others.

“Today, the hustle and bustle (熙熙攘攘) of the area is just something from the past, but the spirit of openness…has become part of the local culture,” Xinhua noted.
