高一上册英语期末考试试题（含答案）

B

Have you ever imagined what kind of car we will be driving in 2020? It will be rather different from the type we know today, with the next 20 years bringing greater change than the past 50. The people who will be designing the models of tomorrow believe that environmental problems may well accelerate(促进，加快)the pace of the car's development. Today they are students on the transport design course at London's Royal College of Art.

Their vision is of a machine with three wheels instead of four, electrically powered, environmentally clean, and able to drive itself along "intelligent" roads equipped with built-in power supplies. Future cars will pick up their fuel during long journeys from a power source built into the road, or store it in small quantities for traveling in the city.

Instead of today's seating arrangements--two in front, two or three behind, all facing forward—the 2010 car will have a versatile interior with adults and children in a family circle.

This view of the future car is based on a much more sophisticated(复杂的)road system, with strips built into motorways to supply power to vehicles passing along them. Cars will not need drivers, because computers will provide safe driving control and route finding. All the driver will have to do is to say where to go and the computer will do the rest. It will become impossible for cars to crash into one another. The technology already exists for the car to become a true automobile.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.

Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally(晚期的)ill patients – even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺)the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.

Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were aware of its possible result.

It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly (坦白地)about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior (在先的)to death.

A. were often absent when a family member was born or dying

D. had often experienced the fear of death as part of life

65. Children in America today are deprived of the chance .

A. to learn how to face death B. to visit their family members

C. to look after patients D. to have access to a hospital

66. Five hundred terminally ill patients were interviewed with the main purpose of .

A. observing how they reacted to the crisis of death

B. helping them and their families overcome the fear of death

C. finding out their attitude towards the coming of death

D. learning how to best help them and their families

67. What may be concluded from the text?

A. Dying patients are afraid of being told of the coming of death.

B. Most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients need.

C. Dying patients should be truthfully informed of their condition.

D. Most patients are unable to accept death until it can’t be avoided.
