years，maybe as a tour guide or in a hotel，maybe in Spain．TakaI'd really like to do a course in art because I'm very interested in art，but I have to think about my job．I work as a fashion designer and when I go back to Japan I want to use a computer to design clothes，so I'm going to the InformationTechnology Course．I can study art and photography in my free time!BenYeah，well，I want to have a good time at college，you know，and meet lots of people．I don't want to work too much! I like computers a lot and I might do a job with computers one day in the future，but at the moment I'm really interested in music，you know．I'm in a rock band，so I've decided to do the Performing Arts Course．Then in the first year I can do music and in the second year I'll probably do a course in singing．Then my friends in the band and I can be rich and famous!（1）We can learn from the passage that

houses，" these houses have all living necessities in a small package，including kitchen，bedroom and bathroom．Generally under 50squaremeters，most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some say they have the space for more．What's lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite modern in design．Besides an attractive appearance，tiny houses can also have practical features （特点）．Making the best of urban space，the 72﹣to﹣122﹣centimeter﹣wide Keret House in Warsaw，the world's narrowest home，filled in an alley（小巷）．The house uses solar power，wind power and rainwater collection to make its owner live practically anywhere．Although micro﹣homes are attractive，there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch．Moving into a tiny house，you should throw away unnecessary things．It is also mostly impossible to invite guests．And finally，a micro﹣home is likely a temporary（暂时的）living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things．Though the limitation will scare some，there is usually a benefit．A small size results in low prices and small bills，making tiny houses easier to afford．And though you won't have many things around the house，it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean．Micro﹣homes are also eco﹣friendly，which can't be matched by other homes．They probably aren't for everyone or forever，but when it comes to your next （or first）home，they could be just what you need．（1）What can be learnt about micro﹣homes from Paragraph 2？A．People can't take a package into the tiny houses．B．All of the houses can hold more than two people．C．These houses are convenient though tiny in size．D．Such houses are poorly designed because of the small size．（2）The author develops Paragraph 3mainly．A．by examplesB．by comparisonsC．by order in spaceD．by causes and effects（3）Micro﹣homes are especially suitable for．A．a young person who has many thingsB．a person who doesn't have much moneyC．a couple who want to protect environmentD．a family hoping to settle down in a city（4）What can be the best title for the text？A．East or west，home is the best．B．Micro﹣homes ﹣﹣﹣more than tiny!C．Home﹣hunting ﹣﹣﹣no easy matter!D．Tiny or large，this is a choice．19．（8.00分）Mary﹣Kate Olsen and her younger twin sister，Ashley got their first part in a television series at the age of six months and have been in the public eye ever since．The twins were born on June 13，1986in California in the United States．When they were six months old，they were chosen for the part of Michelle Tanner on the American TV show，Full House．The producers needed twins because there are rules about the number of hours that a child can work．This meant that one child could not play all the scenes．They took it in turns to film the scenes as

Poetry Day is held by the United Nations on March 21each year．The magic of poetry lies in the connection built up through words between the writer and the reader．When we read a poem，we often imagine what the poet was thinking when they wrote it，or what they were doing at the time．These thoughts let us connect with the words better，as if we'd written the poemourselves．But in the age of artificial intelligence （AI，人工智能），would a poem still mean as much if it weren't written by a human at all？Today，computers can create all kinds of texts，including research papers，books，news stories and even poems．In 2013，Australian researcher Oscar Schwartz and his friend Benjamin Laird created a website called "bot or not"，where readers can read poems and guess whether they were written by a human or a computer．During a recent speech at TedX Sydney，Schwartz said that all over the years，some of the website's poems were able to fool 65percent of human readers into thinking they were written by a human．By creating the website，Schwartz and Laird hoped that people would doubt the difference between humans and machines ﹣and be able to tell what makes us human．"The human mind is not a cold，hard fact，" Schwartz said during his speech．A computer may be able to create poems that are correct in both grammar and style，but it wouldn't be able to get the same meanings and feelings across as a human poet could．In fact，now AI software creates poems based on ones that have already been written by humans．As Schwartz noted，"The computer works like a mirror that reflects any idea of a human．"（1）The purpose of the first three paragraphs is to．A．introduce where World Poetry Day comes from．B．show how popular poetry is around the world．C．show the importance and beauty of poetry．D．give some tips on enjoying poetry．（2）What did the data（数据）from "bot or not" show？A．Computers are better than humans at writing poetry．B．Computers can also produce poems of high quality．C．Readers don't really care whether the poems were written by humans．D．Few readers can tell poems written by computers from those by humans．（3）According to the article，computers can't match humans in creating poems because they．A．fail to use the correct grammar and styleB．can't create poems that are meaningfulC．can't show feelings as well as humansD．only know how to follow humans' poems（4）Which of the following is true according to the passage？A．World Poetry Day is held by the United Nations every two years．B．The magic of poetry lies in the ability of the writer．C．Nowadays，computers are able to create different kinds of texts．D．Some poems created by computers are incorrect in style．四、词汇运用21．（1.00分）In order to have（持久）friendship between friends，honesty is the most important．22．（1.00分）Tim is often（误认为）for his twin brother because of their looks．23．（1.00分）I don't know how to（发音）these words．24．（1.00分）The performances were（取消）because the leading man was ill．25．（1.00分）Everybody hopes that people all over the world can live（和平）together forever．26．（1.00分）﹣﹣﹣Jenny，the package you're looking forward to（arrive）just now．﹣﹣﹣Great！27．（1.00分）It is still（know）whether all the students in our class have passed the exam．28．（1.00分）These foreign（music）names are so difficult to remember，but their music works are really great．29．（1.00分）How could you chat with those（Germany）？You must be able to speak their language．30．（1.00分）He is very excited about the（possible）of playing for England's first team．五、任务型阅读31．（10.00分）Travel sets us thinking and makes us in discussions of major world problems．Traveling can improve our thinking skills．That's WHY we travel．What follows is HOW we travel．CHEAP TRAVELThe less you spend，the closer you come to the reason you came．We're savers by choice when traveling，although we could afford to stay in middle﹣priced hotels and eat in their restaurants if we cut back on the length of our trips．By spending less we can travel longer and travel better．We meet more locals by using buses rather than taxis and by staying in small family﹣run hotels and eating in local﹣style cafes．Spending too much money makes you away from the foreign experience you came to have．TRAVELERS ﹣﹣﹣NOT TOURISTSWhat's the difference？Travelers are more likely to get deeper into the life of a country than tourists．The way to do this is to do lots of pre﹣trip reading about the countries we will visit，and try to learn a few words of local languages．Independent travel is usually far less expensive than packaged tours．We don't use travel agents because we don't stay in hotels that charge high，and we can get cheaper tickets on the Internet．We like figuring out where to eat and working out how to get around．This puts us into direct contact with the local people．Independent travel isn't as comfortable or convenient，but it's the most meaningful way to travel．MOVING AROUNDDespite its discomforts，we take public transportation whenever possible．Traveling in a car is easier，but also scarier．In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed．Luckily，even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems，riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local people．CARRYING STUFF（东西）Backpacks work better for long﹣term travel than the wheeled luggage（轮式行李箱）most middle﹣aged travelers use．Using luggage is fine with a car，but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel．Best of all，wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups ﹣﹣﹣allowing gray﹣haired travelers like us to make friends with younger travelers．六、缺词填空32．（10.00分）We all know everyone needs to sleep．No matter when and how much a person sleeps，he or she needs some sleep to stay （1）a．That's what all doctors thought until they heard about Herpin．Someone said Herpin （2）n slept in his life．Could this be true？The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves．Herpin was 90years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey．They thought for sure that he got some （3）s of some kind．So they stayed with him and （4）w every movement he made．However，the result was very （5）s．Though they watched him hour after hour and day

mother had been injured several days before he was born．As a result，he came to the world a few days （10）e．Was this the real reason？No one could be
