2019-2020學年江蘇省無錫市惠山區錫山高級中學高一（下）期末英語試卷

第二部分：閱讀理解（共兩節，滿分20分）第一節：（共3小題：每小題4分，滿分20分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳選項。

• 1．    From train tickets to doctor's appointments，there's a growing expectation that consumers should include technology in everyday life.We take it for granted that technology brings us closer and improve our access to essential products and services.But people who can't or don't want to engage with the latest technology are being left behind.
     Technology should not be allowed to drive people to the side of their own lives，as many facts suggest is increasingly the case.For example，there have been reports that some elderly people no longer drive to their local park，because they cannot download the parking app required.Evidently，age is one big predictor of digital exclusion （排斥）.Only 47% of those aged 75 and over use the Internet regularly.Out of the four million who have never used the Internet in the UK，only 300，000 people are under 55.But older people aren't the only ones feeling shut out.
     Concerns about privacy can stop people using technology as well.A survey into consumers' trust in business showed no industry reached a trust rating of 50% for data protection.Some people view "forced" digitalization as a symbol of consumer culture and limit their contact with it；also，many people take a "less is more" approach to technology simply because they feel it offers a more meaningful existence.They all belong to a population group that often slips people's mind in related discussions.No one could discount，however，one factor-poverty.Some regions，particularly rural ones，even struggle for phone signals.The UK phone network's plans for a digital switchover could cut off people who rely on their landlines.
     The solution is not simply to give devices to those without smart technology.While there's a need to provide affordable Internet access and technology，we need to recognize diversity in society.Services should provide non-digital selections that reflect equality.Local councils，healthcare providers and businesses should understand more about the diversity of consumers and develop services that meet the needs of all people.After all，access to and inclusion in society is a human right.
  
  （1）Why is the example of the elderly mentioned in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．To provide a proof.
  B．To introduce a concept.
  C．To make a comparison.
  D．To confirm a prediction.
  （2）According to the passage，which of the following factors CAN'T account for digital exclusion？

  
  A．Age.
  B．Privacy.
  C．Gender.
  D．Attitude.
  （3）What does the author suggest in the last paragraph？

  
  A．Inquiring opinions from diverse consumers.
  B．Slowing the pace of the technological shift.
  C．Offering services with online and offline options.
  D．Bettering access to the Internet and technology.
  （4）Which can be the best title for the text？

  
  A．Life sees two-edged effect from digitalization
  B．Technology is excluding a significant minority
  C．Social barriers result from technological shifts
  D．Digital divide is becoming increasingly serious

• 2．When Lina was awoken by the sound of thunder，she was alone on the island．The air was cool and bullfrogs croaked．It was that brief moment when the summer sun had set but the stars hadn't yet appeared．Lina rubbed her eyes and looked around． "Hello？" she called． "Celia？Marie？" There was no response．
     The moon was rising now，shedding light on the island．They had always called it "Forgotten Island" because no one but they seemed to remember its existence．It wasn't on any of the maps they could find，and even the forest rangers didn't know about it．Lina loved that the island，hidden in a heavily-wooded side stream of the river，was a secret between the three friends---her，Celia，and Marie．But now Lina was here alone，and it was night．Worse still，it was her own fault．
     "Come on，Lina，let Marie row the boat．" Celia had said．Marie was two years older than Lina，but she was a hopeless rower．That's why Lina refused and rowed the boat to the island．The argument that followed the refusal took the usual form．Celia took Marie's side，as she always did．Lina exploded and yelled at them to just leave．So they got back in the boat and left．
     A bolt of lightning crossed the darkened sky，accompanied by a deafening thunder clap．The storm was here．As the first cold raindrop slid down her neck，Lina's mind returned to her current problem．She was stuck here by herself．She just hoped she didn't become as forgotten as the island．The thought of it sent a chill down her back．
     Suddenly，Lina spotted something in the water．It was a boat，and inside it were Marie，Celia，and Marie's dad，who was steering through the fast flowing waters．As the boat approached，they saw Lina waving and the worried expressions on their faces turned to relief．
     In her excitement Lina jumped into the river．Only once she was in the icy water did she remember how fast the water was moving．Luckily a strong arm reached into the water and pulled her out．She smiled weakly at Marie's dad and，without a word，hugged Celia and Marie．They didn't seem to mind becoming wet．
  
  （1）What is special about the island？

  
  A．It is very near the ocean．
  B．It is a popular place for boating．
  C．It is surrounded by thick forest．
  D．It has never been reached by others．
  （2）Why did Lina get angry？

  
  A．Lina was left alone on the island．
  B．Marie would not help row the boat．
  C．Marie didn't know how to row the boat．
  D．Celia supported Marie in the disagreement．
  （3）What caused Lina to feel scared？

  
  A．Her shame about the unnecessary argument．
  B．The first raindrop of the approaching storm．
  C．The idea that no one would come to save her．
  D．The drop in temperature as the sun went down．
  （4）What can we infer about the three girls？

  
  A．All of them could swim well．
  B．They had an adventurous spirit．
  C．They lived far away from the island．
  D．They didn't make up in the end．

      Most people today cannot imagine the world without computers，and especially the Internet.If such modern IT advantages disappear，the world will go back to the colonial（殖民的）times，in which information was not available to the public and the only knowledge that one was given was that received at school.In the world today，computers with different applications and the Internet have made absolutely all the information available nearly to everyone in the world.They have made everything easier，and often the decision to employ the use of a computer leads to time saving.People，like the freelancers（自由職業者），can work comfortably at home and earn much more money than those who go to work on the daily routine.
      In addition to that，people are using computers to pay bills.In ancient times，people had to go physically to the payment bureau（付款處）to pay their bills.Internet and credit card transactions（交易）can be used to pay bills instantly from the comfort of one's seat at home or office and what you need to do is just click the mouse.
      The computers have also controlled the world in so many ways that it is hard to imagine the world without jye.aim.The computer is becoming addictive to people.There are people，living all over the world，that can't just finish a day without sitting in front of the computer to either play games or listen to music.Children that once used to go to the playground spend most of the time indoors，either playing computer games or chatting with friends online.This is becoming more of a social concern than it is considered.This affects most children negatively because children that are used to playing violent video games that involve fighting，boxing，and shooting develop characteristics they see in such computer games.Computers also expose children to developing bad behavior at a young age.Most parents fail to put adequate filters（過濾器）to deny their children access to pornographic（色情的）sites on the Internet.This negatively affects the social development of children.
