School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework, which seem to be increasing during summer vacations. But instead of blaming students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their
蚌埠二中 2021 届高三年级最后一卷（英语试题） 第 3 页，共 9 页
homework, students don't add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News. Excerpts (摘录):
Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else's work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with — said to be the heaviest in the world — has led to the popularity of these applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm. A report in Shanghai published recently showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. Also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the country's academic status in the world. So, it's time that Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.
24. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework?
A. Supportive.
B. Understandable.
C. Critical.
D. Doubtful.
25.
What is the cause of the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework.
A. The heavy burden of homework.
B. The advance of modern technology.
C. The pressure of the students’ parents.
D. The influence of other countries.
26.
What does the underlined phrase “pay dearly” mean?
A. be rewarded.
B. provide much money.
C. be dismissed.
D. suffer a lot.
27. Which of the following is probably the best title?
A. Free kids of the burden of homework.
B. Spend less time to gain much knowledge.
C. Stop using mobile phones to do homework.
D. Improve China’s academic status in the world.
C
There is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.
A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, ages 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.
蚌埠二中 2021 届高三年级最后一卷（英语试题） 第 4 页，共 9 页
The images showed that the persons who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers (同龄人) in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.
The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.
Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children. 28. Why does the author use the old saying at the beginning?
A. To show the power of words. B. To introduce an opposite view.
C. To prove the author’s argument. D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.
29. What did the subjects have in common?
A. They were once hurt by unkind words from peers.
B. They usually performed poorly in imaging tests.
C. They all had their brain slightly damaged before.
D. They experienced no physical abuse from parents.
30. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?
A.Suggestions to parents. B. Approaches to further study.
C. Different opinions on the matter. D. Comments on the findings.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The way we speak matters. B. Verbal violence should be stopped.
C. Unkind words hurt the brain. D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.
D
A new product from Microsoft Corporation can do just that for people who have trouble seeing. They may be blind or visually challenged. The product, an app, is called Seeing AI. "AI" is short for artificial intelligence, a term for computers with an ability to think and learn like human beings.
Seeing AI is currently available for free for Apple's iPhone and iPad in Canada, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA. It has four Channels: Short Text, Document, Product, and Person. After you download it, the app will show video directions for each channel. And the app uses both a camera and artificial intelligence to identify places, objects and people (even the emotions of people).
People can use Seeing AI to learn words in English. With the app open, you can point your iPhone or iPad at any object and it will say what the object is. People can also use the app when going to a store or supermarket. It can read product bar codes(条形码) so users will know whether a can is filled with fruit or dog food. In addition, at restaurants, diners can use it to hear a list of drinks and other menu offerings. It can recognize both food choices and prices. And in the near future, it will be able to identify banknotes so people know whether they are holding a bill that is worth $100 or $1.
However, as a new app, seeing AI will not be correct 100% of the time. For example, just because someone is smiling does not necessarily mean they are happy. The app recognizes text, but not handwriting yet. That feature may be available in the future. Also, Seeing AI needs to be connected to

the Internet to work.
32.What does the author say about Seeing AI? A. It is on sale all over the world.
C. It is tailored for the visually disabled. 33.What can Seeing AI help people do now?
A. Make quick decisions.
C. Identify paper money.
34.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The usage of Seeing AI.
C. The limitation of Seeing AI.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B.A guidebook.
第二节 (共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分
B. It can run on all smart phones.
D. It asks for a small charge for the service.
B. Tell the types of food.
D. Recommend best alternatives.
B. The future of Seeing AI.
D. The significance of Seeing AI.
C. A novel. D. A magazine.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Learning to speak English can be difficult, but don't give up!
36
Attend an English class or discussion group.
Attending an English class is a great way to focus on some of the more formal aspects of speaking
English. 37 Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of
learning English, where the emphasis is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking "correct" English.
Speak a little English every day. 38 Speaking English with another person
is the fastest, most effective method of improving. Don't wait until you "feel more comfortable" speaking in English. You probably won't reach that level for a long time, so push yourself outside of your comfort zone and start speaking English today. You' ll be amazed at how quickly your language skills improve.
Work on your pronunciation. Even if you have an acceptable grasp of the English language, with good grammar and an extensive vocabulary, native English speakers may find you very difficult to
understand if you don't work on your pronunciation. 39 Listen closely to how
native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.
40 The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Again, spending time with native English speakers will help you to pick up on common vocabulary and phrases in a natural way. Although reading, watching English TV and listening to the news is also beneficial.
A. Expand your vocabulary and use idiomatic phrases.
B. Use vocabulary in a sentence to commit it to memory.
C. A class will teach you the grammatically correct way of speaking.
D. The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to speak it.
E. You can practice by starting simple conversations with the people you meet.
F. With enough practice and right resources, you can start speaking English confidently.
G. Correct, clear pronunciation is vital if you really want to improve your level of English.

The internet raised its collective eyebrows 61 (recent) after Chinese state media claimed that online shopping, high-speed rail, bike sharing and electronic payment systems are China’s “four new great inventions.”
Last week, government-run Xinhua News Agency said the country deserved credit for the discoveries, 62 (compare) them to the innovations of ancient China: compass, gunpowder, paper, and printing. Xinhua’s article noted that “Among the four, high-speed rail and online shopping aren’t
from China, but we bring the inventions to the world’s top level with our

Dear Mike,
Glad to receive your letter, ask about our school’s labor education. Now I’m writing to tell him something about it.
To raise the students’ awareness of the significance of labor, so our school has carried out various activities in recent years. In Tree Planting Day, we will plant tress in and around our school or in suburb every year. We are also asked to do some voluntary work sometime. What’s more, we are to share houseworks with our parents. Through these activities, we have realized the bitterness of labor, learn to respect all laborers and, above all, improved our ability to live independent.
Best wishes.
Yours,

School children are using mobile phone applications to do their homework, which seem to be increasing during summer vacations. But instead of blaming students for their behavior, we should say no to too much homework. This is important because by using mobile phone applications to do their

homework, students don't add much to their knowledge, says an article in Guangzhou-based Yangcheng Evening News. Excerpts (摘录):
Using mobile phone applications to do homework is no different from copying from someone else's work. This is the opinion of a vast majority of teachers. Students who seek cell phone apps help to do their homework will pay dearly during major exams when they cannot seek the help of such applications, the teachers say.
The heavy load of homework Chinese students are burdened with — said to be the heaviest in the world — has led to the popularity of these applications.
Senior high school students in China rarely go to bed before 11 pm. A report in Shanghai published recently showed that students in the city on average spend 28.2 hours in class every week, the 9th highest among 65 countries and regions surveyed. Also, they spend an average of 13.8 hours a week doing homework, most in the world.
There is no association between the amount of homework one does and the amount of knowledge one gathers. In fact, research by Australian experts shows that the result is exactly the opposite: the more hours students spend doing homework, the less effective they will be in gaining knowledge.
The United States is one of the countries where students do little homework, but that has not damaged the country's academic status in the world. So, it's time that Chinese schools understood this fact and freed students of the unnecessary burden of homework.
24. What’s the writer’s attitude toward the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework?
A. Supportive.
B. Understandable.
C. Critical.
D. Doubtful.
25.
What is the cause of the students’ using mobile phone applications to do their homework.
A. The heavy burden of homework.
B. The advance of modern technology.
C. The pressure of the students’ parents.
D. The influence of other countries.
26.
What does the underlined phrase “pay dearly” mean?
A. be rewarded.
B. provide much money.
C. be dismissed.
D. suffer a lot.
27. Which of the following is probably the best title?
A. Free kids of the burden of homework.
B. Spend less time to gain much knowledge.
C. Stop using mobile phones to do homework.
D. Improve China’s academic status in the world.

There is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.
A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, ages 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.
蚌埠二中 2021 届高三年级最后一卷（英语试题） 第 4 页，共 9 页
The images showed that the persons who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers (同龄人) in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.
The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.
Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children. 28. Why does the author use the old saying at the beginning?
A. To show the power of words. B. To introduce an opposite view.
C. To prove the author’s argument. D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.
29. What did the subjects have in common?
A. They were once hurt by unkind words from peers.
B. They usually performed poorly in imaging tests.
C. They all had their brain slightly damaged before.
D. They experienced no physical abuse from parents.
30. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?
A.Suggestions to parents. B. Approaches to further study.
C. Different opinions on the matter. D. Comments on the findings.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The way we speak matters. B. Verbal violence should be stopped.
C. Unkind words hurt the brain. D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.

A new product from Microsoft Corporation can do just that for people who have trouble seeing. They may be blind or visually challenged. The product, an app, is called Seeing AI. "AI" is short for artificial intelligence, a term for computers with an ability to think and learn like human beings.
Seeing AI is currently available for free for Apple's iPhone and iPad in Canada, Hong Kong, India, New Zealand, Singapore and the USA. It has four Channels: Short Text, Document, Product, and Person. After you download it, the app will show video directions for each channel. And the app uses both a camera and artificial intelligence to identify places, objects and people (even the emotions of people).
People can use Seeing AI to learn words in English. With the app open, you can point your iPhone or iPad at any object and it will say what the object is. People can also use the app when going to a store or supermarket. It can read product bar codes(条形码) so users will know whether a can is filled with fruit or dog food. In addition, at restaurants, diners can use it to hear a list of drinks and other menu offerings. It can recognize both food choices and prices. And in the near future, it will be able to identify banknotes so people know whether they are holding a bill that is worth $100 or $1.
However, as a new app, seeing AI will not be correct 100% of the time. For example, just because someone is smiling does not necessarily mean they are happy. The app recognizes text, but not handwriting yet. That feature may be available in the future. Also, Seeing AI needs to be connected to

the Internet to work.
32.What does the author say about Seeing AI? A. It is on sale all over the world.
C. It is tailored for the visually disabled. 33.What can Seeing AI help people do now?
A. Make quick decisions.
C. Identify paper money.
34.What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The usage of Seeing AI.
C. The limitation of Seeing AI.
35. Where is this text most likely from?
A. A diary. B.A guidebook.

Learning to speak English can be difficult, but don't give up!
36
Attend an English class or discussion group.
Attending an English class is a great way to focus on some of the more formal aspects of speaking
English. 37 Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of
learning English, where the emphasis is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking "correct" English.
Speak a little English every day. 38 Speaking English with another person
is the fastest, most effective method of improving. Don't wait until you "feel more comfortable" speaking in English. You probably won't reach that level for a long time, so push yourself outside of your comfort zone and start speaking English today. You' ll be amazed at how quickly your language skills improve.
Work on your pronunciation. Even if you have an acceptable grasp of the English language, with good grammar and an extensive vocabulary, native English speakers may find you very difficult to
understand if you don't work on your pronunciation. 39 Listen closely to how
native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them.
40 The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Again, spending time with native English speakers will help you to pick up on common vocabulary and phrases in a natural way. Although reading, watching English TV and listening to the news is also beneficial.
A. Expand your vocabulary and use idiomatic phrases.
B. Use vocabulary in a sentence to commit it to memory.
C. A class will teach you the grammatically correct way of speaking.
D. The absolute best way to learn any new language is just to speak it.
E. You can practice by starting simple conversations with the people you meet.
F. With enough practice and right resources, you can start speaking English confidently.
G. Correct, clear pronunciation is vital if you really want to improve your level of English.

The internet raised its collective eyebrows 61 (recent) after Chinese state media claimed that online shopping, high-speed rail, bike sharing and electronic payment systems are China’s “four new great inventions.”

Dear Mike,
Glad to receive your letter, ask about our school’s labor education. Now I’m writing to tell him something about it.
To raise the students’ awareness of the significance of labor, so our school has carried out various activities in recent years. In Tree Planting Day, we will plant tress in and around our school or in suburb every year. We are also asked to do some voluntary work sometime. What’s more, we are to share houseworks with our parents. Through these activities, we have realized the bitterness of labor, learn to respect all laborers and, above all, improved our ability to live independent.
Best wishes.
Yours,
