alike．But are they actually a good thing？Those people who are against zoos would argue that animals often suffer（遭受痛苦）physically and mentally by being enclose'd．Even the best man made environments can't come close to matching the space，diversity （多样性），and freedom that animals have in their natural homes．This causes many zoo animals to become sick．Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families．Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally．For example，ocean parksoften force dolphins and whales to perform．These sea animals dolphin may die years earlier than their wild relatives．On the other hand，by bringing people and animals together，zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes．Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses，or pets which have been given up and no longer wante D．Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness．circusOne of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding （繁衍）programs，especially for endangered species （物种）．In the wild，some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding，and they might also be hurt or even killed by people．A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment．In addition，as numbers of some wild species drop，there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically（基因上）similar．Breeding programs provide a safeguard：zoo bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity．However，those people who are against zoos say that many zoo bred animals are not put back intothe wild．A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks inSouth Africa，where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helplessanimal．Often，these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping．So，are zoos good for animals or not？Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed，and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects．However，it is understandable thatmany people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong．27．According to Paragraph 2，some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives becauseA．they were born in the ocean parkB．they don't have enough living spaceC．they are forced to behave unnaturallyD．they suffer from family separation28．What is the main purpose of international breeding program？A．To increase genetic diversity．B．To protect mistreated animals．C．To free enclosed animals．D．To do research on animal behavior．29．What，s the author，s opinion of zoos？A．He doubts the value of zoos．B．He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos．C．He is against the idea of having zoos aroundD．He sees the importance of the zoo management．17．（8分）The Rise of Artificial Intelligence （AI；人工智能）discusses AI technology and how it might affect humans in the future，but the future is already here．In 2011，America's Favorite Quiz Show held a competition between two men and an IBM computer named"Watson"．IBM describes Watson as"a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns．"Both men thought they could beat Watson．Instead，the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly bested both of the human beings．ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human like intelligence，such as problem solving and learning．In order to be considered AI，the computer must pass the Turing test，named after Alan Turing，a British mathematician who worked with the first computers．In the 1950s，Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could beused to trick humans into believing they were interacting（互动）with an actual human being．He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a"machine"believed they were actually interacting with a human being，then the computer could be considered as AI．A simple example of AI is Apple，s Siri．Ask Siri to do anything，from calling a friend to booking a dinner table，and Siri can do it．Siri seems almost human．When you ask，"Are you a real person？"Siri answers，"That is a really personal question．" But，just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans．Or，does it？JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices（设备）will turn into humans．Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door．They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work．Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being，like with Siri．It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think．If it has not already happened，it likely will happen in the near future．Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings？Although computers have the ability to make our life better，is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end？WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future，we're going to see a human machine hybrid．Humans will be stronger，live longer and be smarter．Ray Kurzweil，a computer scientist，believes that within 50years，the humans on Earth will be about 50to 80% robotic．There is no question that AI will be a part of every technology that humans create．Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten（威胁到）humanity as we know it？If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov's 3Laws of Robotics，humans won，t have a problem with machines；but for some，evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth．30．The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that．A．the age of machines has comeB．humans make their own enemiesC．AI has actually come into our lifeD．humans are playing a dangerous game31．From the passage we can learn that．A．Turing test was designed to examine the first computersB．machines interacting with humans can be called AIC．Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD．AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter32．What does the underlined expression"a human machine hybrid"probably mean？A．a machine with a human lookB．a human created by machinesC．a body part robotic part humanD．a robot that can behave like humans33．The passage is mainly about．A．the history and future of AIB．the advantages and disadvantages of AIC．the examples of AID．the competition between humans and AI．四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（共10 分，每小题2 分）18．（10分）Albino PowerI was born an albino（白化病患者）in Scranton，Pennsylvania，in 1945．No one in my familyhad ever known what an albino was，what it meant to be an

" shouted mom and dad from the next room．They came into the kitchen and saw Marty was looking around for a gift．"I guess you think we forgot to get you a gift ，" said mom．Marty looked confused．"Well，you usually put my giftin the kitchen，" Marty said．Dad told Marty to follow him outside the house in the yard．"This is fantastic!" shouted Marty．"I don't take many pictures，and I probably wouldn't use the basketball much，and my bike is okay for now．But I will use the telescope! Thanks so much．" "You're welcome，" said mom anddad．All that night，Marty saw many beautiful stars and even the planet Mars．Marty would remember his tenth birthday for the rest of his life !24.What did Marty hope to get as a birthday gift most？______A.

In the attic．26.Marty would always remember his tenth birthday because ______ ．A. he discovered his interestB. he got what he wanted mostC. he realized he had grown upD. he found his birthday gift by himselfCHomeless people face a lot of challenges，such as not havingenough to eat and no job opportunities．Some of the most basicchallenges，however，are not having clean water and toiletries（卫生用品）-a big problem for homeless teens．Thatencouraged a young researcher to invent a multi-purposeproduct to help these teens．"I was born into a life of volunteering，" said 13- year-old LeiaGluckman．And that's true．Her mom is a president of anorganization providing help for homeless teens．Leia and her brother have volunteered there for years．When she was a young girl，Leia helped serve food where teens were eating．Now she's a teenager herself，and she's managing the toiletry and clothing work there．From her work at the center，Leia noticed that teens asked for some toiletries more than others．What they needed most often were toothpaste，body powder （粉）and shampoo （洗发水）．Leia wondered whether she could create a product to serve all three purposes．It would need to take away dirt and oil from skin and hair．It would need to clean teeth．Also，it would need to kill bacteria （病菌）without being harmful to people．She wanted her ingredients （产品成分）to be natural，to be able to break down easily and to taste and smell pleasant．Moreover，this product had to be low-cost and have a long shelf life．Leia started by going to stores and looking at the ingredient lists for toiletries．Then she tried eight different ways．She tested each way to see how well it worked．Not all of them worked well．But she finally decided on three．Each includes salt and baking powder．Salt helps clean teeth and skin；baking powder helps take in bad smells．She also has some other recipes which include some special materials that give her products different tastes and smells，which would let teens choose a product based on personal preferences．It wasn't easy，but Leia came up with some model products．She presented them at the finals of Broadcom MASTERS science competition．Leia wants to develop her products further．" Could it possibly be used to drive away mosquitoes （蚊子）？" she wonders．" Science offers a way to go about solving problems and helping people，" says Leia．And she thinks her products could benefit a great number of people，not just the homeless．Anyone in an area with little or no chance to get clean water could find her products useful，maybe refugees （难民）and soldiers who are sent to places without running water．27.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2？______A. Leia has lived a life of volunteering for years．B. Leia and her brother helped their mom for years．C. Leia was born in a great family of volunteering．D. Leia's mom set up an organization for homeless teens．28.Leia's products meet homeless people's needs mostly because ______ ．A. they are cheap and naturalB. they can offer personal choicesC. they are used to drive away mosquitoesD. they can serve three purposes with little water29.According to the passage，we know that ______ ．A. Leia invented the product in order to win the MASTERS competitionB. Leia's invention came from her will to create and to help othersC. The family influence played a decisive role in Leia's inventionD. Leia believed that science could help solve problems easilyDVirtual （虚拟的）reality is a way to create a computer-made environment that brings the user into a virtual world．If you ever have put on a VR headset，you would know exactly what I am talking about．From an experiential view we do understand the idea，but what about the technical backend that goes into making it all possible？In this blog，we will understand the technology behind virtual reality and the basic terms about the development of a virtual ecosystem for a VR headset．The primary subject of virtual reality is simulating （模拟）the vision．Every headset is to perfect their method to create an immersive （浸人式）3D environment．Each VR headset puts up a screen or two in front of eyes，keeping the user away from any interaction with the real world．Two autofocus lenses （自动对焦镜片）are generally placed between the screen and the eyes that change based on eye movement and positioning．The vision appears on the screen either by using a mobile phone or HDMI line connected to a PC．To create a truly immersive virtual reality，there are certain requirements - a frame rate （帧率）of at least 60 fps，a refresh rate and at least 100-degree field of view （though 180 degrees is perfect）．If either of these doesn't work according to the standards，the user will experience too big of a time difference between their actions and the response from the screen．We need the response to be less than 20 ms （1/1000 second）to fool the brain which is achieved by joining all the above in the right proportion （比例）．Another matter that needs to be looked at here is to prevent netsickness because of the differences between the frame rate and refresh rate．Apart from the image，there are certain other things that go into creating an immersive VR experience，holding the user's attention completely in the virtual environment．For example，sound effects，when put with the image，can create very attractive effects．By using a headphone and 3D sound effects，the user can totally believe in the virtual environment．While perfecting sound effects，proper care needs to be taken about the consistency （一致）between the pictures and the sound．If you start playing frightening music in the background of a happy scene，it will just put the user off．In future，we will see rapid progress in creating a truly immersive digital experience．With leading players like Google，Microsoft，Oculus，and HTC making great efforts to improve the capabilities （性能），we are not far from achieving a virtual reality that would feel so much better than the real world．If you would like to develop a VR app for your business，then feelfree to get in touch．With over 10 years of experience in mobile technologies，we can make every dream a reality．30. A VR headset helps the user ______ ．A. create the vision on the screenB. understand the technical backendC. better experience a 3D environmentD. keep interaction with the real world31.The words " put the user off" in Paragraph 4 probably mean " ______ "A. take the user's attention awayB. get the user interestedC. hold the user's imagination backD. help the user understand32.What is the main purpose of writing this passage？______A. To give a short introduction of VR．B. To do business with certain readersC. To predict the bright future of VR．D. To share experiences with readers33.What can we learn from the passage？______A. The lower degree field of view，the better images．B. Sound effects are more important than the image for VR．C. Some big companies may create a VR better than the real world soonD. The brain can tell the time difference when the response is more than 20ms四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．Paperless homework will affect students' handwritingA growing number of primary schools in Shanghai are now encouraging "paperless"homework．Instead of writing with a pen，children can finish their homework simply by "surfing and typing" on their iPad screens．Many people welcome the use of this new technology in schools．And it isn't difficult to understand why digital homework could be the next big thing in education ：it reduces waste；makes it easier for teachers to collect homework；and now that everything else is digitalized，homework should too．But there's an overlooked downside to online homework，as it shows an alarming trend （趋势）：how technology is affecting physical handwriting．In today's digital age，handwriting is already a weakening skill．Can you remember the last time you used a pen？For me，it was when I had to fill out a form at work．To be honest，I couldn't write quite a few characters and had to type them on my iPhone to remind me of how to write them correctly．I know I'm not alone．There are more saying they share similar embarrassment （尴尬）when asked to write by hand．In a time when computers，smart phones and keyboards are widely used in the world，is handwriting even important？The answer is yes．Handwriting plays an important role in the learning process．Writing a character is more difficult than typing．It requires the body and mind work together actively．So for school-age children，writing not only allows them to memorize characters，but also trains their brains the way typing can't．Too many children，lost in technology，lie on a sofa or in bed with their smartphones or iPads - a seldom mentioned side effect of modern technology，which may lead to physical problems later．All said，I'm not saying that digital homework should be canceled．Digitalization is anunstoppable trend．But for courses such as Chinese and English language，I hope to see digital homework introduced later into the courses，at least after children have had the ability to write characters and spell words well．How do children finish their paperless homework？______Why do many people welcome digital homework？______What happened when the writer used a pen to fill out a form at work？______Why is handwriting important for school-age children？______What does the writer think of digital homework？______五、书面表达（本大题共2小题，共30.0分）35.根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出内容不计入总数．所给提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．假如你是李华，你们学校将要举办一场阅读沙龙（Reading

For 16 years,she loved her dear pet cat Blondievery much and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It is totally understandable thatshe had a special feeling for Blondie because she,d saved her from a building in Forth Worth. Butrecently,shortly after she and her husband had realized that Blondie seemed to be getting sick,theelderly cat died in her arms on her way to the pet hospital. Naturally,Mrs. Andrews was heartbroken.After Blondie,s death,Mrs.Andrews went to work every day,feeling upset. She couldn,t helpbut share the sad news of her sad loss with some of her students at Joshua High School in Joshua,TX,and shortly after,a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.As one student filmed the moment,the girls first gave her some white roses,followed bycupcakes and balloons to express their care. Mrs.Andrews seemed touched,but it was their nextsurprise that deeply moved her and that everyone was talking about.All that the shocked teacher could seem to say was,“Are they for me?”as she held the babycats named Missy and Girlie.“I knew something was going on when only half of my class was in my room,second period thenext day when the bell rang,”Andrews told the Huffington Post,feeling thankful. “Then she heldthem out to me and said they were mine. My heart can now experience happiness again.”What the high school students did is really meaningful,especially for people who have gonethrough loss,like Tonya Andrews. The good news is that it certainly looks like it was worth all theeffort. Tonya Andrews finally was happy when her students did kind things for her.24. Why did Mrs.Andrews have a special feeling for Blondie?A. Because Blondie got sick.B. Because she was always lonely.C. Because Blondie was her first pet.D. Because she saved Blondie from a building.25. What did Mrs.Andrews do after Blondie died?A. She shared the sad news with her students.B. She bought two baby cats,Missy and Girlie.C. She got into an argument with her husbanD.D. She gave up her job at Joshua High School.26. According to the passage,what are Mrs.Andrews, students like?A. Confident and honest.B. Understanding and caring.C. Humorous and active.D. Brave and strong wille D.CZoos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a goodthing?Those people who are against zoos would argue that animals often suffer(遭受痛苦)physically and mentally by being enclose'd. Even the best man made environments can't come close to matching the space,diversity (多样性),and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families. Some zoos make animals behave unnaturally. For example,ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals dolphin may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand,by bringing people and animals together,zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses,or pets which have been given up and no longer wante D. Zoos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.circusOne of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding (繁衍)programs,especially for endangered species (物种). In the wild,some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding,and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition,as numbers of some wild species drop,there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically(基因上)similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguard:zoo bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However,those people who are against zoos say that many zoo bred animals are not put back intothe wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks inSouth Africa,where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helplessanimal. Often,these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So,are zoos good for animals or not?Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed,and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However,it is understandable thatmany people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.27. According to Paragraph 2,some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives because. A. they were born in the ocean park B. they don't have enough living spaceC. they are forced to behave unnaturallyD. they suffer from family separation28. What is the main purpose of international breeding program?A. To increase genetic diversity.B. To protect mistreated animals.C. To free enclosed animals.D. To do research on animal behavior.29. What,s the author,s opinion of zoos?A. He doubts the value of zoos.B. He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.C. He is against the idea of having zoos aroundD. He sees the importance of the zoo management.DThe Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI;人工智能)discusses AI technology and how it mightaffect humans in the future,but the future is already here. In 2011,America's Favorite Quiz Showheld a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watsonas “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.”Both men thoughtthey could beat Watson. Instead,the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly bested both ofthe human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human like intelligence,such asproblem solving and learning. In order to be considered AI,the computer must pass the Turing test,named after Alan Turing,a British mathematician who worked with the first computers.In the 1950s,Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting(互动)with an actual human being. He found that if 30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with a human being,then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apple,s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything,from calling a friend to booking a dinner table,and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask,“Are you a real person?”Siri answers,“That is a really personal question.”But,just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans.Or,does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices(设备)will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take an umbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it will take to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another human being,like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actually think. If it has not already happened,it likely will happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings?Although computers have the ability to make our life better,is it possible that they may control and destroy human beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future,we're going to see a human machine hybrid. Humans will be stronger,live longer and be smarter. Ray Kurzweil,a computer scientist,believes that within50 years,the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will bea part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankind or will it be a risk and threaten(威胁到)humanity as we know it?If AI is programmed according to Isaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics,humans won,t have a problem with machines;but for some,evil AI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.30. The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that .A. the age of machines has comeB. humans make their own enemiesC. AI has actually come into our lifeD. humans are playing a dangerous game31. From the passage we can learn that .A. Turing test was designed to examine the first computersB. machines interacting with humans can be called AIC. Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD. AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter32. What does the underlined expression “a human machine hybrid”probably mean?A. a machine with a human lookB. a human created by machinesC. a body part robotic part humanD. a robot that can behave like humans33. The passage is mainly about .A. the history and future of AIB. the advantages and disadvantages of AIC. the examples of AID. the competition between humans and AI四､阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题｡(共10 分,每小题2 分)Albino PowerI was born an albino(白化病患者)in Scranton,Pennsylvania,in 1945. No one in my familyhad ever known what an albino was,what it meant to be an albino,what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents and friends treated me just like they treated everybody else.

Like most albinos,I had terrible eyesight,but the fact that I could hardly see didn,t worry me all thatmuch.Kids laughed at me,calling me “Whitey”. People stared at me when I held reading materialright at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to rea D. Even when I was eight or nine, movie theater workers started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad,I couldn,t play sports very well.I didn,t give up trying,though.

I,ve done it now for more thanthirty years in print and in video,and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I,m the only “blind editor(编辑)”they know,but the jokes are friendly smiles now,and some of them are signsof respect. And I make jokes about being an albino. I have even developed an all white routine,ifyou could call it that.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania.

American called Simon went to London to visit his friend，Rick．Rick told him that his flat was on the first floor．When he arrived，Simon went straight to the first floor of the building．But he was told that there was no one called Rick on that floor．Do you know why？In fact，the British call the first floor of a building the ground floor．The floor above the ground floor is the first floor．But Americans would call it the second floor．The story shows that there are some differences in culture between Britain and America，though the British and Americans both speak English．The British usually hide their feelings．They seldom start a conversation with strangers．For example，on the train the British often spend their time reading newspapers or books．But Americans are quite different．They're more active and easier to talk with．The British and Americans may use different terms for many things．The British usually use football，eraser and mail while Americans like to use soccer，rubber and post．When we go to other countries，we'd better go online to search for something about the cultures there．It'll be helpful for the trip．21．Simon went to London to．A．have a meetingB．study EnglishC．spend his holidayD．visit his friend22．Which picture shows us where Rick's flat was？23．According to the passage，the British usually spend their time on the train．A．playing cardsB．talking loudlyC．doing some readingD．singing and dancing．15．On a warm day in 2050，Frank and Mary Smith wake up in their comfortable house and turn on the computer in their bedroom to get the latest news．They used to read The Guardian，but changed to electronic newspapers many years ago．Frank first reads some news about space：another space flight has returned from Mars．Then they turn to sports news．As they watch the screen，Mary pays for a robot to make coffee for them．Then Frank disappears into another room to join a video meeting with his business partners around the world．Frank is a computer engineer．Mary is still in their bedroom．She picks up the video phone to talk to her assistant（助理）．Mary also has a job and she is doing medical research．Both she and Frank used to have office jobs in London，but in 2040they decided to move to the seaside and work from home．Frank and Mary have one daughter，Louise．She goes to school only three days a week，mainly to ask her teachers questions，discuss her homework or play with other students．Some classrooms disappeared in 2035because there was no longer much need for them．The Internet had made it easier to learn at home．Louise，now thirteen，is studying Chinese at present，which has become a world language as important as English．Louise has many Chinese friends．They share many things online．According to the family doctor，Louise will live to be at least 130．Her wish is to work for a few decades（十年）and then spend her time studying music and painting or doing her favorite things．24．Frank reads news about first．A．travelB．spaceC．musicD．sport25．According to the passage，the writer believes that in 2050．A．Louise won't go to schoolB．Mary will be a computer engineerC．a robot can make coffee for Frank and MaryD．all the people will live to be at least 130years old26．What can we learn from the passage？A．People won't enjoy their life in 2030．B．There won't be any classrooms in schools in 2035．C．More and more people will work in offices in 2040．D．China will play a very important part in the world in 2050．16．Do you need to"edit（编辑、剪辑）your friends"？Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to？Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends？Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should，not because you want to？If you answer yes to at least two of these questions，then perhaps you need to"edit your friends"．Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real，close friends．As our life gets busier，it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see，people we love and who really love us．But usually we don't have any time to get together with them．Who are the friends you need to edit？A few years ago I read a book about how to choose between necessary things and unnecessary ones．It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful？Do I really like it？Do I feel better every time I look at it？If the answer is no to any one of those questions，you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．What kind of friends will you probably need to edit？Sometimes it's an old friend，somebody who you used to have a lot in common with，but when you meet now，you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with，but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting，think"Do I really want to see this person？"and if the answer is no，say no and make an excuse．In that way you'll have more time to spend with your real friends．27．People need to edit their friends when．A．they have moved to a different areaB．they have no time with their real friendsC．their friends have gone out to work or schoolD．their friends have got on quite well with them28．People don't need to edit their．A．old friendsB．new friendsC．real friendsD．young friends29．What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3？A．We should often ask questions．B．We should treat our friends well．C．Most of our friends are not necessary at all．D．We should ask ourselves who our real friends are．17．Sometimes parents spoil（溺爱）too much their children，because they offer them too much attention and try to carry out all their wishes．It is true that a good mother wants her child to be happy and to spend the most time with him or her．Anyway，it is sometimes suitable for mothers to leave their children much time alone，because he or she needs to create his or her own personality without the influence of the others around．As a child，what do you think of that？Do you like the time your parents spend most with you or the time your parents leave you alone？Mothers'behavior can be，at times，negative for their children if they spoil them too much．Children should also know that things cannot always happen the way they want，and they have to accept this．Crying andyelling aren't always the perfect ways to attract their mother or father，in order to make them do a certain thing．Therefore，mothers who used to spoil their children too much should not give up their jobs in order to stay at home with their children，because they give a negative education to these children．A girl won't be able to make her bed，iron a pair of trousers，tidy up her room and so on，because it's her mother's duty to do those for her，while she can do other things like playing with her mobile phone，watching TV，listening to music or wearing some make﹣up to go out with her friends．What about your mother？Does she go to work or stay at home to take good care of you？Can you do some chores for yourself or do some housework for the family？In my opinion，a good mother knows what education should be given to her child without giving up her job．Moreover，a mother is a good mother she is able to combine the both things：the education of her child and the job．Even if she doesn't have much time to spend with her child，a good mother knows what advice should be given to her child，for example，to listen to his or her problems，to help a little with homework and to offer him or her the independence he or she needs．What's your idea？Would you like your parents to get jobs？So，what should you do to make them believe that you can grow up as a person？30．Which of the following shows that a mother spoils her children？A．She cares for them too much．B．She brings them with her．C．She leaves them alone at home．D．She tries to realize her own dreams．31．According to the writer，a spoil child usually thinks that．A．his parents are always very negativeB．his parents will do everything for himC．he can express himself in the perfect wayD．accidents always take place in the same way32．The underlined word"combine"in Paragraph 3probably means．A．provideB．protectC．complainD．connect33．The last paragraph of this passage is mainly about．A．the education and the jobB．how to be a good motherC．children's early educationD．the importance of the independence．四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题．（共10分，每小题10分）18．Today at 11：00I will be doing something that some people told me that I would never be able to do．I am graduating from college．When I graduated from high school，my family had a business so I never thought about getting a college degree．I went straight to work for my father．After 24years of ups and downs （mostly downs），I decided that I went to return to school and earn a degree in Business Administration．Some people told me that it was too late．Some told me that I was too old．Others told me that I would never be able to pull it off，because I had to work full time and as a mother，I had to look after my children，too．Anyhow，almost everyone around me didn't think I could finish college．But inside I was told something different．I began to look for chances to go to school．One day while looking up information on how to go aboutgetting into college，a little window popped up （弹出）on my screen．It said，"Do you think you are too old to go back to school？"I was so excited that I clicked on the box at once and there I found an online college．I spoke to someone in the school．They told me that I could take classes any way that I wanted so that I could go to work．I also found out that I could have classes at home so that I could be there for my children．Now today，almost 2years later，I will not only be graduating with honors．I have been on the Dean's list for almost the whole time I have been in college．And I also got very good scores in every exam．So for anyone out there who thinks that something is out of reach or impossible，remember this：if I had listened to those people who told me，I couldn't do it then．The man who has made up his mind to win will never say"impossible"．34．Why didn't the writer go on with education after graduating high school？35．How many years later did the writer decide to return to school？36．Did the people think the writer could finish college？37．Where did the writer have classes？38．What does the writer want to tell us？．五、文段表达从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作．文中已给出的内容不计入总词数．所给英文提示词语仅供选用．请不要写出你的校名和姓名．19．假如你是李华，下星期天你和家人打算邀请你们班的交换生Peter去密云云佛山滑雪场滑雪（Yunfoshan Ski

friends"？Is your mobile phone directory full of phone numbers of people you don't really want to talk to？Do you go out with people from work or schoolmore often than with your real friends？Do you say yes to invitations because you think you should，not because you want to？If you answer yes to at least two of these questions，then perhaps you need to"edit your friends"．Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school．The result is that we don't have enough time to see our real，close friends．As our life gets busier，it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want to see，people we love and who really love us．But usually we don't have any time to get together with them．Who are the friends you need to edit？A few years ago I read a book about how to choose between necessary things and unnecessary ones．It says you should ask yourself about each thing you have：Is it useful？Do I really like it？Do I feel better every time I look at it？If the answer is no to any one of those questions，you should throw it away．Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends．What kind of friends will you probably need to edit？Sometimes it's an old friend，somebody who you used to have a lot in common with，but when you meet now，you have very little or nothing to say to．Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with，but who is taking up too much of your time．Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting，think"Do I really want to see this person？"and if the answer is no，say no and make an excuse．In that way you'll have more time to spend with your real friends．27．People need to edit their friends when B．A．they have moved to a different areaB．they have no time with their real friendsC．their friends have gone out to work or schoolD．their friends have got on quite well with them28．People don't need to edit their C．A．old friendsB．new friendsC．real friendsD．young

For 16 years,she loved her dear pet cat Blondie very much and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It is totally understandable thatshe had a special feeling for Blondie because she,d saved her from a building in Forth Worth. Butrecently,shortly after she and her husband had realized that Blondie seemed to be getting sick,theelderly cat died in her arms on her way to the pet hospital. Naturally,Mrs. Andrews was heartbroken.After Blondie,s death,Mrs.Andrews went to work every day,feeling upset. She couldn,t helpbut share the sad news of her sad loss with some of her students at Joshua High School in Joshua,T,and shortly after,a few of the girls in her class came up with a few surprises to cheer her up.As one student filmed the moment,the girls first gave her some white roses,followed bycupcakes and balloons to express their care. Mrs.Andrews seemed touched,but it was their nextsurprise that deeply moved her and that everyone was talking about.All that the shocked teacher could seem to say was,“Are they for me?”as she held the babycats named Missy and Girlie.“I knew something was going on when only half of my class was in my room,second period thenext day when the bell rang,”Andrews told the Huffington Post,feeling thankful. “Then she heldthem out to me and said they were mine. My heart can now experience happiness again.”What the high school students did is really meaningful,especially for people who have gonethrough loss,like Tonya Andrews. The good news is that it certainly looks like it was worth all theeffort. Tonya Andrews finally was happy when her students did kind things for her.24.

Understanding and caring.C. Humorous and active.D. Brave and strong wille D.Coos are hugely popular attractions for adults and children alike. But are they actually a goodthing?Those people who are against zoos would argue that animals often suffer(遭受痛苦)physically and mentally by being enclose'd. Even the best man made environments can't come close to matching the space,diversity (多样性),and freedom that animals have in their natural homes. This causes many zoo animals to become sick. Catching animals in the wild also causes much suffering by separating families. Some zoos make animals behaveunnaturally. For example,ocean parks often force dolphins and whales to perform. These sea animals dolphin may die years earlier than their wild relatives.On the other hand,by bringing people and animals together,zoos can educate the public about animal protection and encourage people to save animals and their homes. Some zoos provide a safe environment for animals which have been mistreated in circuses,or pets which have been given up and no longer wante D. oos also carry out important research into subjects like animal behavior and how to treat illness.circusOne of the most important modern functions of zoos is supporting international breeding (繁衍)programs,especially for endangered species (物种). In the wild,some of the species have difficulty in finding mates and breeding,and they might also be hurt or even killed by people. A good zoo will enable these species to live and breed in a safe environment. In addition,as numbers of some wild species drop,there is an increased danger of populations becoming too genetically(基因上)similar. Breeding programs provide a safeguardzoo bred animals can be put into the wild to increase genetic diversity.However,those people who are against zoos say that many zoo bred animals are not put back intothe wild. A lot of animals are sold not only to other zoos but also to circuses in the US or wild parks inSouth Africa,where some people are willing to pay a lot of money for the chance to kill a helplessanimal. Often,these animals are familiar with humans and have very little chance of escaping.So,are zoos good for animals or not?Perhaps it all depends on how well zoos are managed, and the benefits of zoos can surely outweigh their harmful effects. However,it is understandable thatmany people believe enclosing animals for any reason is simply wrong.27. According to Paragraph 2,some sea animals may die earlier than their wild relatives because. A. they were born in the ocean park B. they don't have enough living spaceC. they are forced to behave unnaturallyD. they suffer from family separation28. What is the main purpose of international breeding program?A. To increase genetic diversity.B. To protect mistreated animals.C. To free enclosed animals.D. To do research on animal behavior.29. What,s the author,s opinion of zoos?A. He doubts the value of zoos.B. He is a true supporter of all kinds of zoos.C. He is against the idea of having zoos aroundD. He sees the importance of the zoo management.DThe Rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI;人工智能)discusses AI technology and how it mightaffect humans in the future,but the future is already here. In 2011,America's Favorite Quiz Showheld a competition between two men and an IBM computer named “Watson”. IBM describes Watsonas “a technology that understands all forms of data and also reasons and learns.”Both men thoughtthey could beat Watson. Instead,the computer and its Artificial Intelligence soundly bested both ofthe human beings.ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE MADE SIMPLEArtificial Intelligence generally refers to machines with human like intelligence,such asproblem solving and learning. In order to be considered AI,the computer must pass the Turing test,named after Alan Turing,a British mathematician who worked with the first computers. In the 1950s,Turing published a paper questioning whether a computer could be used to trick humans into believing they were interacting(互动)with an actual human being. He found that if30% of humans who interacted with a “machine”believed they were actually interacting with ahuman being,then the computer could be considered as AI.A simple example of AI is Apple,s Siri. Ask Siri to do anything,from calling a friend to bookinga dinner table,and Siri can do it. Siri seems almost human. When you ask,“Are you a real person?”Siri answers,“That is a really personal question.”But,just because a system can behave like humans does not mean it can think like humans. Or,does it?JOINING OF HUMAN & MACHINEIt seems that our devices(设备)will turn into humans. Our phones already tell us to take anumbrella before we walk out the door. They volunteer traffic conditions so we know how long it willtake to drive to work.Our devices can interact with us in a way that looks like a real conversation with another humanbeing,like with Siri. It does not seem crazy at all to think that AI may be programmed to actuallythink. If it has not already happened,it likely will happen in the near future.Have we come to the time when computers and AI have caught up to human beings?Although computers have the ability to make our life better,is it possible that they may control and destroyhuman beings in the end?WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDSIt seems pretty clear that in the future,we're going to see a human machine hybrid. Humanswill be stronger,live longer and be smarter. Ray urzweil,a computer scientist,believes that within50 years,the humans on Earth will be about 50 to 80% robotic. There is no question that AI will bea part of every technology that humans create. Will it turn out to be more of a benefit to humankindor will it be a risk and threaten(威胁到)humanity as we know it?If AI is programmed according toIsaac Asimov's 3 Laws of Robotics,humans won,t have a problem with machines;but for some,evilAI still stands in the way of a peaceful and safe life on earth.30. The story of computer Watson is mentioned here to tell us that .A. the age of machines has comeB. humans make their own enemiesC. AI has actually come into our lifeD. humans are playing a dangerous game31. From the passage we can learn that .A. Turing test was designed to examine the first computersB. machines interacting with humans can be called AIC. Siri can volunteer to book a dinner tableD. AI will help humans to be stronger and smarter32. What does the underlined expression “a human machine hybrid”probably mean?A. a machine with a human lookB. a human created by machinesC. a body part robotic part humanD. a robot that can behave like humans33. The passage is mainly about .A. the history and future of AIB. the advantages and disadvantages of AIC. the examples of AID. the competition between humans and AI四､阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题｡(共10 分,每小题2 分)Albino PowerI was born an albino(白化病患者)in Scranton,Pennsylvania,in 1945.

When the doctor said that it was a girl, I cried. I had a baby sister, Emma.All my fears and insecurities have passed now. I cannot explain how especial it is to have a __38__ person who wakes up with me and wave her little hand good-bye to me as I leave for school.Now I realize there is plenty of love in my home for Emma. My fear and anger had been eased with the realization that she took away __39__ . Instead, she brought so much to my life.I never thought I could love a baby this much, and I would not __40__ the joy I get from being her big sister.31. A. museum B. hotel C. school D. hospital32.
