重庆巴蜀中学高三年级12月月考作文试题导写作者：来源：《课堂内外·创新作文高中版》2019年第02期试题展示阅读下面的材料，根据要求写作。
（60分）挪威心理学家诺德斯克曾在军队服役一年。
一次突然的军事演习，由于时间紧急，诺德斯克来不及检查鞋带便匆忙上场集合。
就在他准备俯身查看鞋带时，演习开始了。
从那一刻起，诺德斯克无时不在想着那根可能没系好的鞋带，万一松掉，绊倒自己，闹出笑话，该如何是好……就这样，他一直无法集中精力。
结果不幸发生：诺德斯克左腿中弹受伤。
而事实上，那根鞋带一直很好地系着。
要求：综合材料内容及含意，选好角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟题目；不要套作，不得抄袭；不少于800字。
写作导引这道作文题是模拟2018年高考全国新课标卷Ⅱ的作文题目命制的，是一道典型的材料作文题。
既然是材料作文，那么大家就必须按照材料作文的要求，从整体上把握材料，而不是断章取义，只顾部分，不考虑整体。
从整体上把握分析材料，需要对作文材料进行细分。
本则材料属于典型的“事件性材料”，也就是整则材料围绕一个主要事件展开，它讲的是一个“心理衍射理论”。
审题时，大家可以抓住其中的“时刻想着鞋带，无法集中精力，结果不幸发生”“而事实上，那根鞋带一直很好地系着”等关键信息，这些关键词句实际上为大家的审题立意指明了方向。
“鞋带”其实就是“无关紧要的小事”，“无法集中精力”就是“干扰”，“不幸发生”就是“目标未完成，而且结果很糟糕”。
综合以上信息，可以推知：我们的大脑往往容易被一些不相关的小事纠缠，而导致精神无法集中到主体事件上来，或者注意力发生偏差。
而我们越在意，偏差就越严重；我们纠缠得越久，事情也就会变得越糟糕。
由此，可以有以下立意角度：1. 不要被一些小事、俗事、烂事纠缠，否则我们将永远陷在糟糕、廉价的生活里；2. 甩掉顾虑，排除干扰才能专注于目标；3. 抓住主要矛盾，不必过分纠缠小事；4. 注意主体方向，不因小事而分心。

when you cancel your membershipB.get expert training but you need to pay extra feeC.go to the gym only from6:00am to10:00pmD.go to the gym only from Monday to Saturday23.What do you think the above passage is?A.A storybook.B.A science magazine.C.A TV show.D.An advertisement.BIt's perhaps the world's most famous underwater attraction that remained in film and in legend:the Titanic.But now experts say the ocean liner,once a wonder of the high seas,is falling to pieces.Capt.Alfred McLaren,the scientist who in July led the most recent expedition to the ship's underwater grave,said his team saw clear signs of the accelerating damage of the wreck(残骸).There was damage likely caused by rust and sea life,and the captain's cabin had collapsed.“I was absolutely astonished,”McLaren said.Worse still,the fallen mast(桅杆)that crushed the ship's deck is believed by many to be the result of an unapproved salvage(打捞)operation.“It was almost depressing to see how quickly she was getting worse,"McLaren says.“I would be really surprised if there's very much standing up from the bottom,two decades from now.”Ed Kamuda,who runs the Titanic Historical Society in Springfield,Mass.,says adventure tourists—who pay $36,000each to visit the wreck—are also contributing to the destruction of it.“This is something I expected.I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly,”Kamuda said.“People are going down just as an ego trip to say I was there.'All this takes a fare on the ship.”The Titanic has sat at the bottom of the Atlantic since it sank after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage on April14,1912.More than1,500people died that night.The ship came to rest at the bottom of the freezing North Atlantic,more than2miles beneath the waves.The wreck was discovered in1985,and since then it has been repeatedly visited by treasure hunters.But still some scientists say those divers,and other thrill seekers are not necessarily to blame for the Titanic's current problems.Capt.Craig McLean of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration went on an expedition to the Titanic in June as part of a government study that is monitoring the condition of the ship.He says it's unclear what part of the damage is from Mother Nature and which is from human nature.“It's too early and there isn't enough evidence to put our fingers on anything,”McLean said.Regardless,most agree there's little that can be done for this most famous of wrecks.And soon,the mighty Titanic could well be lost again.24.McLaren expected that in twenty yearsA.Only a minor part of the wreck would remain as it isB.The wreck would be getting worse at a faster speedC.Only salvage operation with the purpose of research would be approvedD.The wreck would be completely destroyed by unapproved treasure hunters25.What is the tourist's purpose of visiting the wreck,according to Kamuda?A.To contribute to the breaking down of the Titanic.B.To help finance the preservation of the Titanic.C.To satisfy their curiosity and adventurousness.D.To better understand the history of the Titanic.26.Craig McLean is one of the scientists who believeA.Visitors should not be prohibited from the Titanic and other famous wrecksB.The influence of the thrill seekers on the wreck will finally be determinedC.The government should contribute more to the monitoring of the TitanicD.The damage of the Titanic is not necessarily caused by the adventure tourists27.The author is most likely to agree that the future of the Titanic is_________A.promisingB.discouragingC.controllableD.vagueCIn department stores and closets all over the world,they are waiting.Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles,patterns,materials,and colors.But they are eventually the biggest deception(欺骗)that exists in the fashion industry today.What are they?They are high heels—a woman's worst enemy(whether she knows it or not).High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society.Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or stylish for wearing heels,but in reality,heels succeed in creating short as well as long term troubles.Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.For the sake of fairness,it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels.First,heels are excellent for aerating lawns(草坪通气).Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about.A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies gets rid of all the need to call for a lawn care specialist,and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy blocks of dirt lying around.Second,heels are quite functional for defending against potential enemies,who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp,deadly fashion items.Regardless of such practical for heels,the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one's physical health.Talk to any podiatrist(足病医生),and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women.High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails.The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer.Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting a heel caught in a narrow sidewalk gap and being thrown to the ground—possibly breaking a nose,back,or neck.And of course,after wearing heels for a day,any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her aching feet.28.Women don't take the disadvantages of high heels too seriously because ofA.their attempt to show off their statusB.the rich variety of high heel stylesC.their wish to improve their appearanceD.the multi-functional use of high heels29.What's the author's tone in presenting the positive sides of high heel shoes?A.ironicB.favorableC.sympatheticD.objective30.The writer uses“those babies”(Paragraph2)to refer to high heelsA.to show their delicate characteristicB.to show women's affection for themC.to emphasize their small sizeD.to indicate their trendy appearance31.It can be inferred from the passage that women shouldA.refuse to buy the products of the fashion industryB.go to apodiatrist regularly for adviceC.avoid following fashion too closelyD.see through the very nature of fashion mythsDCarried by the wind,dust particles(微粒)from places such as the Sahara Desert can float halfway around the world before settling to the ground.As the plastics abandoned by humans break down into tiny pieces in the environment,they,too,travel through the atmosphere.Now scientists are a step closer to understanding how these microplastics travel in the globe—both locally and on long-distance flights.Researchers spent more than a year collecting microplastics from11national parks and wilderness areas in the western U.S.They examined the particles that settled on dry days and those that fell along with rain or snow.In addition to making clear how microplastics move around,the results,published on Thursday in Science,reveal the seriousness of the problem:more than1million kilograms of microplastics—the weight of 120million to300million plastic water bottles—fall on protected lands in the country's western region each year.The new findings add to scientists'concern over microplastic pollution's potential impacts on the environment and human health.“We're not supposed to breathe in this material,”says Steve Allen,a microplastics researcher at the University of Strathclyde in Scotland,who was not involved in the new study.Plastics in the environment"carry all sorts of pesticides(农药),heavy metals and all the other chemicals that we ve made over time,"he adds.“They're going to carry them directly into our lungs.”Since their discovery in oceans in the1970s,microplastics—which can be as large as a grain of rice or smaller than a particle of dust—have been found nearly everywhere researchers have looked:in cities,in Arctic snow,on remote mountaintops.Their presence in areas distant from the place where human live has pointed to them being carried by winds.32.What do the scientists further understand now?A.Why Sahara Desert is expanding to the south of Africa.B.How plastic particles travel on the wind.C.Why it is hard for plastics to break down.D.How dust particles are spreading through the wind.33.What do we know about the new study?A.The results showed the amount of microplastics is huge.B.Researchers collected microplastics across the U.S.C.Researchers focused on plastic particles in dry days.D.Numerous plastic water bottles were found each year.34.What does Steve Allen say about plastics?A.They should be recycled.B.They do harm to weather.C.They can be used to make all sorts of pesticides.D.They carry harmful chemicals to human lungs.35.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Dust Particles Is Harmful to Our LungsB.The Environment Is Threatened by PlasticsC.Microplastics Are Falling from the SkyD.Microplastics Do Harm to Health第二节(共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

ABritain is arguably the great walking nation. About two-thirds of us already head out to stretch our legs once a week. The following festivals offer a wealth of organized walks, but walkers should register in advance.Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festivalVisitors to Wales tend to move west, to either the well-worn tracks of Snowdonia or the Pembrokeshire Coast Path. There are 25 walks packed into the three days, with various options available, including a half-mile Roman-themed adventure, an eight-mile walk exploring the life of 18th-century Welsh naturalist and travel writer ThomasPennant and a 21-mile Offa’s Dyke challenge. All walks are free. Denbighshire, Wales, 19-21 MayOtley walking festivalThis local festival has grown from humble origins in 2000 into a busy schedule of 50 short-distance walks and events celebrating the lives and landscapes of Wharfedale in West Yorkshire. One might enjoy the Five Pubs Walk, Walking With Wine, Four More Pubs or Lost Pubs of Otley. All walks are free, though there is sometimes a small charge for transport.Otley, West Yorkshire, 24 June-3 JulyDartmoor offroading walking festivalDartmoor delights (使高兴) walkers because, while tracks are there to be followed, the lack of wire and other barriers, and the relatively small number of farm buildings on the higher ground, create a sensation of freedom. The six free wheelchair walks, starting daily at 11am, explore Dartmoor’s industrial history, bronze age valuables and Victorian railway builders.Devon, 27 August-2 SeptemberGower walking festivalWith more superb walking options inside a single landscape than perhaps anywhere else, the Gower peninsula (半岛) sometimes feels as if it’s all coast. The further information for this nine-dayfestival, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Wales Coast Path (WCP), has yet to be finalized. Half of the walks offered during the festival will be on the coastal path, 10 adults, over-sixes 6. Glamorgan 2-10 September1. Which festival is friendly to the disabledA. Prestatyn and Clwydian Range festival.B. Otley walking festival.C. Dartmoor offroading walking festival.D. Gower walking festival.2. What do we know about Gower walking festivalA.

They are physically demanding.BIn this new digital era, farmers are finding ways to evolve with the times while still holding fast to their traditions.In the quiet and excluded parts of rural China, Xiang Qing, a man born in 1990, leads a life quite unlike the bustling (熙熙攘攘的)urban existence that defines modernity. His home is Guzhang county, Xiangxi Tujia and Miao autonomous prefecture, which is located deep in western Hunan province. Xiang Qing and his 23-year-old nephew, Xiang Hong, jointly operate a video channel called “Shan Bai”. Through their video s, they showcase handicrafts and rural life in China, captivating (迷住) many young urban viewers.“Life here unfolds at its own pace. We cultivate crops and vegetables and occasionally purchase meat at the market,” Xiang Qing said. “I’ve come across numerou s comments from people who watch our videos while lying in bed at night after a busy day of work, finding them truly relaxing and comforting. I think it’s fantastic, and it’s in line with our initial intentions.”Five years ago, Xiang Qing resigned from his job as a customer service representative in Shanghai and returned to his hometown in Guzhang county, embarking on (开始) a new journey as a video blogger. “Back in 2012, when I was a college student, film-making aroused my passion, and it has continued to be a profound and enduring interest,” he said.Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Xiang Hong made the same life-altering decision. Having graduated from college last year, he also returned to his hometown in April from Changde, a city inHunan, and ventured into the world of video production alongside his uncle.Now their video channel Shan Bai has attracted more than 59.8 million followers. Xiang Qing conceptualizes, films, and edits the videos himself. Xiang Hong serves as the video presenter. Long Lingl ing, Xiang Qing’s wife, manages the day-to-day operations of the video account, and other family members also contribute to the video production process in different ways.4. Why do Xiang Qing and Xiang Hong take video bloggers as their careerA. To pursue personal fame and wealth.B. To financially support their whole family.C To continue their passion for film-making.D. To promote the lifestyle in their hometown.5. What can we learn about Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Xiang Qing inspires Xiang Hong in career-making.B. They quit their first job and altered to video making.C. They reached a decision of returning to hometown together.D. They engage in each step of the video production process.6. Which of the following can best describe Xiang Qing and Xiang HongA. Devoted and creative.B. Diligent and optimistic.C. Modest and responsible.D. Ambitious and demanding.7. Where is the text most probably taken fromA. A personal diary.B. A news interview.C. A travel brochure.D. A fashion magazine.COn O ctober 20th comes “Killers of the Flower Moon” from the director Martin Scorsese. At nearly three and a half hours, its length is nearly double that of the average film last year. Even movie fans struggle to concentrate for that long. During the premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, some viewers dozed off. Afterwards there was a mad dash (and long queue) for the toilets. When did watching a film become such a laborFilm-makers started producing long-lasting movies at a rapid pace in the early 1960s. Cinema was booming and filmmakers wanted to distinguish their art from television. Epics surpassing the three-and-a-half hour mark graced the silver screen. Back then, audiences enjoyed an interval while the projectionist prepared the reels for the next act. Runtimes of popular films experienced ups and downs over subsequent decades. But they have ballooned since 2018.Movie series is one driver of this trend. Studios want to squeeze the most out of their costly intellectual property, but they arecompeting with streaming platforms for eyeballs. The hope is that a spectacular, drawn-out blockbuster (大片) will tempt audiences away from the small screen and into cinemas. This approach has often paid off: “Avengers: Endgame” (2019), which showcased Marvel superheroes remarkably with a runtime of three hours, achieved the highest box office revenue among all films in that year. Anything that attracts people away from their sofas to see a film in theatres is good news for cinemas. But lengthy runtimes also pose a “fundamental problem”, complains Clare Binns of Picturehouse, a British cinema group and film distributor. Long movies can mean abandoning two showings per night, which hurts ticket sales and profits.Another explanation for longer films has to do with dire ctors’ growing influence. Who would dare tell the likes of Mr Nolan to shorten his masterpieces Streamers, which do not have to worry as much about concision because viewers can pause whenever they like, may attract big names with deep pockets and promises of creative freedom. “Killers of the Flower Moon” will debut on AppleTV+ after its theatrical release.8. What can we learn from paragraph 1A. Movie fans tend to have a dislike for long movies.B. Movie theaters should provide adequate restrooms.C. The average movie fan cannot focus for over three hours.D. Long movies affect audience engagement and physical comfort.9. What does the underlined word “ballooned” mean in paragraph 2A. Expanded with air.B. Made great profits.C. Enjoyed great popularityD. Increased rapidly in length.10. Why does the author mention the movie “Avengers: Endgame”A. To demonstrate the trend of longer movies.B. To highlight the success of Marvel series.C. To illustrate the strong appeal of movie series.D To emphasize the studio-streaming platform contest.11. Which of the following can be the best title for the textA. Movie Marathons: Past and PresentB. Long Movies: Impacts and ReasonsC. Filmmaking: Challenges and RewardsD. Streaming Platforms: Promising and ProfitableDTwo and a half millennia ago, Socrates complained that writing would harm students. With a way to store ideas permanently and externally, they would no longer need to memorize. However, studies today have found that writing on paper can improve everything from recalling a random series of words to betterunderstanding complex concepts.For learning material by repetition, the benefits of using a pen or pencil lie in how the motor and sensory memory of putting words on paper reinforces that material. The scribbling (涂鸦) on a page feeds into visual memory: people might remember a word they wrote down in French class as being at the bottom-left on a page. One of the best-demonstrated advantages of writing by hand seems to be in note-taking. Students typing on computers wrote down almost twice as many words directly from lectures, suggesting they were not understanding so much as rapidly copying the material. However, handwriting forces note-takers to process and organize ideas into their own words. This aids conceptual understanding at the moment of writing, resulting in better performance on tests.Many studies have confirmed handwriting’s benefits, and policymakers have taken note. Though America’s curriculum from 2010 does not require handwriting instruction past first grade (roughly age six), about half the states since then have required more teaching of it. In Sweden there is a push for more handwriting and printed books and fewer devices. England’s national curriculum already includes the teaching of basic cursive writing (连写体) skills by age seven.However, several school systems in America have gone so far as to ban most laptops. This is too extreme. Some students have disabilities that make handwriting especially hard. Nearly all will eventually need typing skills. Virginia Berninger, professor of psychology at the University of Washington, is a longtime advocate of handwriting. But she is not a purist; she says there are research tested benefits for “manuscript” print-style writing but also for typing.Socrates may or may not have had a point about the downsides of writing. But no one would remember, much less care, if his student Plato had not noted it down for the benefit of future generations.12. According to the text, why does writing on paper have benefits for learningA. It provides visual enjoyment in class.B. It improves the effect of memorization.C. It promotes the motor and sensory ability.D. It helps to remember the information forever.13. How does the author show the emphasis on handwriting instruction at schoolA. By giving examples.B. By providing statistics.C. By making comparisons.D. By making classification.14. What is paragraph 5 mainly aboutA. Difficulties faced by the disabled.B. Unreasonableness of forbidding typing.C. The research-tested benefits of typing.D. The longtime advocacy for handwriting.15. Why does the writer mention Socrates and Plato in the last paragraphA. To thank Plato for his efforts.B. To defend Socrates’ point of view.C. To show people’s indifference to typing.D. To confirm the importance of handwriting.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分10分)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。

I still remember the excitement I felt peeling back the protective plastic from my shiny new iPhone X. What a lovely piece of technology! That feeling didn’t last.I could point out a list of complaints, like how Face ID is inconsistent, the bright metal casing is easy to scratch, and the price tag is extremely high. But there’s really one shortc oming that matters to me.Though the phone is only a bit bigger than the iPhone 6, iPhone 7, and iPhone 8, the bigger screen dramatically changes how you interact with the device. The new gestures required by the notch (选择图标) at the top of the phone mean t here’s no way to look at my notifications (通知) with only one hand or access the control center. It considerably limits the usability of the phone when I’m on the go or when I have only one hand free. The top two rows of apps on the home screen are basically inaccessible without a sliding move, and it makes me suspicious I’m going to drop the $1,000 device. The fear of dropping the phone comes from the $549 bill spent repairing the cracked glass on its back. I hate the idea of risking that just trying to see my notifications. With my previous iPhone, the 6, I could use my pinky (小手指) as a kind of shelf for the phone to sit on as I tapped away, texting, checking email, or changing songs on Spotify. The X’s size doesn’t let that happen. I envied my friend when she showed me her new iPhone 8.At first, I thought it was just an adjustment period. I experienced something similar with my previous phone. Like the X’s new shape, the iPhone 6 represented a dramatic departure in form from previous iPhones. When I upgraded to the 6 from my iPhone 4S, I had similar doubts about one-handed use. I ended up falling in lovewith the phone. That same thing did not happen with the X a month into using it. Determined!24. According to the writer, what is exactly wrong with iPhone X?A. Its price is too high.B. Its screen is a bit too big.C. Its Face ID is inconsistent.D. Its metal frame is easy to scratch.25. How do you think the writer will look at the notifications for safe?A. Use the pinky as a shelf.B. Use the X with a sliding move.C. Use the X with both hands.D. Use the X with only one hand free.26. How much has the writer spent on the X?A. $451.B. $549.C. $1,000.D. $1,549.27. What do you think the writer will do according to the passage?A. He might prefer not to use the X.B. He will change his using habits.C. He will stop using iPhone.D. He will go on with the adjustment period.CWhen people learn to drive, they subconsciously absorb the “rules of the road”. The rules, however, rely heavily on common sense. They can be broken in an emergency, or help to avoid an accident. As a result, when accidents happen, it is not always clear who is at fault.All this poses a big problem for people to build autonomous vehicles(AVs). They want AVs to be able to share the roads smoothly and safely without human drivers in predictable ways. That means setting the rules of the road in a precise way that machines can understand. The problem, says Dr Karl lagnemma of an AV firm, is that every company is doing this in a different way.Last year, Dr Shashua and his colleagues published a first attempt to set a standardised set of rules called “Responsibility-Sensitive Safety”, and laid down mathematical rules for various events. Last month Voyage, another AV company, made a similar proposal, called “Open Autonomous Safety”, which also explains the correct, safe behavior for vehicles in a range of circumstances. This is all a good start,says Dr Karl Iagnemma. It will take years rather than months for the industry to work as one around a standard, he predicts. But he is optimistic that this will happen eventually, because discussions are already under way and many people working in the field of AVs consider sharing to be the second nature.One area where sharing would speed up the development of a safety standard is “edge cases” — rare events that tax the capabilities of autonomous systems, such as unexpected behavior by other drivers, plastic bags blowing in front of a vehicle and so on. Because such events occur occasionally, and computers lack common sense to decide how to respond, training AVs to handle edge cases is hard. But by sharing with each other data from edge cases that have actually happened, AV firms can test their systems in simulators (装置) to see how they would respond, and adjust them where needed, benefiting from each other's experience.28. What do we know about the “rules of the road”?A. They are shared by all AVs.B. They can be ambiguous when accidents occur.C. They remain unchangeable all the time.D. They make it easy to decide who is to blame in accidents.29. Which of the following might Dr Karl lagnemma agree with?A. Common standards will surely be set in the near future.B. Companies should set road rules for AVs separately.C. We should decide on correct, safe behavior for vehicles in all events.D. People may work on standardised road rules for AVs by sharing and joint efforts.30. What do “edge cases” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Vital situations.B. Common situations.C. Infrequent situations.D. Emergency situations.31. What is the passage mainly talking about?A. How to set standardized rules for AVs.B. The significance of the “rules of the road”.C. Safe driving rules for AVs.D. How road rules are special to AVs.DA top Chinese technology executive is facing fraud (欺诈) charges in the United States connected to business dealings with Iran, a Canadian prosecutor said Friday.Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies —China's largest telecommunications equipment maker — was arrested in Vancouver on Dec.1 as she changed planes for Mexico. Canada's Justice Department said Meng, 46, who is the daughter of the company's founder, was detained (扣留) due to a United States extradition (引渡) request.John Gibb-Carsley, a prosecutor for the Canadian government, says the U.S. claims Huawei used a shell company to gain access to the Iran market in dealings that avoided U.S. punishment, the Associated Press reported. Fraud charges in the U.S. could bring up to 30 years in prison, Gibb-Carsley said.Influential state media linked to China's ruling Communist Party on Friday described Washington as a “despicable rogue”attempting to prevent China's global rise by arranging for Meng's arrest.News of her arrest aroused fears that it could influence a trade war truce (停战协议) struck last week by President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.“There is ample evidence to suggest that no major Chinese company is independent of the Chinese government and Communist Party —and Huawei, which China’s government and military claim as a ‘national champion’, is no exception,” said Sen. Mark Warner in a statement. Warner said Huawei “poses a threat to our national security”.Huawei denied the accusation and state media came down firmly on its side.China Daily, a separate Chinese government mouthpiece, claimed Meng's arrest proved “the U.S. is trying to do whatever it can to contain Huawei’s expansion in the world simply because the company is the point man for China’s competitive technology comp anies”. It said it was an example of the U.S.'s “determined Cold War mentality” toward China and relations between the two countries would sufferas a result.32. Which is the correct information according to the passage?A. Meng Wanzhou was arrested in Vancouver on Dec.1 by U.S. government.B. If Meng Wanzhou was found guilty of fraud, she could be sentenced to 30 years in prison.C. Sen. Mark Warner thinks no China’s major companies are dependent on the Chinese government.D. News of Meng Wanzhou’s arrest has something to do with a trade war truce.33. The underlined words “despicable rogue” means _________.A. a person who is cautious.B. a person who is impolite.C. a person who is considerate.D. a person who is mean.34. The nationality of Sen. Mark Warner may be __________.A. CanadianB. IranianC. AmericanD. Chinese35. Which could be the main idea of the passage?A. Huawei’s chief financial officer was arrested in Canada, facing possibleextradition to United States.B. Why was Huawei’s chief financial officer arrested?C. Chinese government strongly protests against the arrest of Huawei’s chief financial officer.D. Huawei used a shell company to gain access to the Iran market in dealings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。
