第二部分阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）Last week, Vodafone started a test of the UK’s first full 1G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?
One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost £1.4 billion for the 1G wavelengths, and to compensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UK’s first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isn’t all holograms, however: 1G will offer faster internet access. with Ofcom (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.
The wider application is to support connected equipment on the “internet of things” -not just the internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you, but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) to communicate with each other.
Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.
Obviously, 1G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 1G and 4G, and the first 1G-enabled smart phones are expected in the coming year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 1G phone well before 1G becomes widely available in the next couple of years.
1、Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperor’s new clothes”?
A．He is in favor of the application of the new technology.
B．1G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.
C．1G helps people communicate better with each other.
D．He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.
2、The underlined word “addressing” in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning
to .
A．making a speech to B．trying to solve
C．managing to decrease D．responding to
3、The last paragraph indicates that .
A．it’ll take several years to make 1G accessible to the public in the UK
B．1G service shows huge development potential and a broad market
C．customers are eager to use 1G smart phones instead of 4G ones
D．it’s probable that 1G network rollout is speeding up in Britain
4、What do we know about the text?
A．Vodafone is successful in spreading the 1G service.
B．Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.
C．The application of 1G will make life much easier.
D．1G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.
22．（8分）Culture can affect not just language and customs, but also how people experience the world on surprisingly basic levels.
Researchers, with the help of brain scans, have uncovered shocking differences in perception（感知）between Westerners and Asians, what they see when they look at a city street, for example, or even how they perceive a simple line in a square, according to findings published in a leading science journal.
In western countries, culture makes people think of themselves as highly independent individuals. When looking at scenes, Westerners tend to focus more on central objects than on their surroundings. East Asian cultures, however, emphasize inter-dependence. When Easterners look at a scene, they tend to focus on surroundings as well as the object.
Using an experiment involving two tasks, Dr Hedden asked subjects to look at a line simply to estimate its length, a task that is played to American strengths. In another, they estimated the line’s len gth relative to the size of a square, an easier task for the Asians.
The level of brain activity, by tracking blood flow, was then measured by Brain Scanners. The experiment found that although there was no difference in performance, and the tasks were ver y easy, the levels of activity in the subjects’ brains were different. For the Americans, areas linked to attention lit up more, when they worked on the task they tended to find more difficult —estimating the line’s size relative to the square. For the Asians, the attention areas lit up more during the harder task also — estimating the line’s length without comparing it to the square. The findings are a reflection of more than ten years of previous experimental research into East-West differences.
In one study, for instance, researchers offered people a choice among five pens; four red and one green. Easterners were more likely to choose a red pen while Westerners were more likely to choose the green one.
Culture is not affecting how you see the world, but how you choose to understand and internalize(使内化) it.
But such habits can be changed. Some psychological studies suggest that when an Easterner goes to the West or vice versa, habits of thought and perception also begin to change. Such research gives us clues on how our brain works and is hopeful for us to develop programs to improve our memory, memory techniques and enhance and accelerate our learning skills.
1、According to the passage, Chinese people are most likely to ________.
A．more emphasize independent thinking
B．always focus more on their surroundings
C．focus on the context as well as the object
D．think of Westerners as highly independent units
2、We know from the passage that people’s brains will be more active when ________. A．the task is much easier B．the blood flow is tracked
C．people begin to choose colors D．the task is more difficult
3、What does Dr Hedden’s experiment in Paragraph 4-5 indicate?
A．Culture has a great impact on the way people talk and behave.
B．Easterners and Westerners perceive the world differently.
C．People's perception of the world can be changed.
D．Americans are better at calculating than the Asians.
4、It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．Easterners prefer collectivism to individualism
B．East Asian cultures lay more emphasis on independence
C．it took over ten years to find out how to improve our brainpower
D．Americans will change their habits of perception when they’re in Britain
23．（8分）How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt＇s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times. ”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
1、How did the author get to know America?
A．From her relatives. B．From her mother.
C．From Books and pictures. D．From radio programs.
2、Upon leaving for America the author felt ________.
A．confused B．excited
C．worried D．amazed
3、For the first two years in New York, the author ________.
A．often lost her way
B．did not think about her future
C．studied in three different schools
D．got on well with her stepfather
4、What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?
A．She worked as a translator.
B．She attended a lot of job interviews.
C．She paid telephone bills for her family.
D．She helped her family with her English.
5、The author believes that ________.
A．her future will be free from troubles
B．it is difficult to learn to become patient
C．there are more good things than bad things
D．good things will happen if one keeps trying
24．（8分）Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists:
Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world’s problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever-increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large
underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large-scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term machines might decide the world would be better without humans.
Scientist C: I’m a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls and think of what’s happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be extremely dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.
1、What is Scientist B worried about?
A．AI technology will destroy the earth. B．Robots will take the place of humans. C．Computers can’t think by themselves. D．Humans will be unhappy without machines.
2、What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．I launched the campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
B．We forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator.
C．“Murderbots” will be against humans’ orders.
D．“Murderbots” can’t decide by themselves.
3、Which statement is CORRECT according to the record?
A．The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.
B．Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.
C．“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.
D．All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.
4、Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?
A．Scientist A．B．Scientists B & C．
C．Scientist B．D．Scientists B & A．

第二节书面表达（满分25分）
29、Dear Peter,
I am sorry to learn that you have been suffering headaches, which prevents you from performing well in your work. Worse still, you haven’t got better after taking medicine. Therefore, I suggest you try Chinese medicine.
From my perspective, Chinese medicine is superior to western medicine in a sense. Producing fewer side effects is typical of Chinese medicine. If time permits, patients can recover completely. In addition, C hinese medicine is less expensive, so you don’t need to worry about your budget. I believe the treatment appeals greatly to you.
I hope that you will recover soon. If there is anything you need me to do, don’t hesitate to inform me.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
