With the pool of possible buyers limited to billionaires and a very few institutions, some in the art world are trying to narrow it down to a region or nationality.Thomas Seydoux, an art adviser and former head of Impressionist and Modem Art at Christie’s, suspects that the bidder is “new money”, because the bidding went up in “wild increases” - at one stage jumping from $ 370m to $ 400m. He guessed that the buyer might be a billionaire from Asia, based on current trends in the world of fine art auctions.Others have suggested a Gulf royal or billionaire — perhaps from Qatar, which has lavishly (大量地) collected art, or Abu Dhabi, which has just opened a branch of the Louvre museum. The Abu Dhabi branc h has a Leonardo’s painting, “La belle ferronniere”, on loan from the Louvre in Paris but lacks its own.“Salvator Mundi” has a troubled history. It was sold for £ 45 at Sotheby’s in London in 1958, when it was thought to 6 a copy, but by 2011 it had been accepted as a work entirely by Leonardo, when it was included in an exhibition at the National Gallery in London. It was then reportedly bought for $ 75m - $ 80m by art adviser Yves Bouvier, who sold it to Russian collector Dmitry Rybolovlev for $ 127.5m.Mr Rybolovlev said, “Thanks to the professionalism and expertise of Christie’s, the record-breaking sale of Da Vinci’s ‘Salvator Mundi’ has helped bring back some of the value of the collection.”1、What does the underlined word “inscrutable” mean?A．available B．unknownC．uncontroversial D．determined2、What might Thomas Seydoux’s Asian “new money” be based on?A．The number of wealthy people in Asia.B．The trend of wealthy people collecting art.C．The reasonable way the buyer bid for the painting.D．The aggressive way the bidder drove up the price.3、What did Rybolovlev’s words suggest?A．The sale of the painting reflected its value.B．He regretted having possessed the painting.C．The high bid for the painting was ridiculous.D．Christie’s taught us how t o appreciate the painting.4、Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Troubled History of “Salvator Mundi”B．Hunt for New Master of Record-breaking Da VinciC．The Most Expensive Painting Ever SoldD．“Salvator Mundi” Painting’s Buyer to Be Told23．（8分）There was a lot of news related to artificial intelligence, or AI, and machine learning. Among the stories were two dealing with direct competitions between humans and machines.In one competition, machines that used AI performed better than human beings in a high-level reading test. Two natural language processing tools beat human in the experiment. One of the tools was built by the American technology company Microsoft. The other was created by Chinese online seller Alibaba Group.In another competition, a computer took on humans in live, public debates.The event demonstrated how AI-powered computers are increasingly being developed to think ' and sound like humans. The organizer of the debates, U. S. technology company IBM, announced split results. It said a majority of those watching said they felt the machine had done more to improve their knowledge of the subject. But, the human got more praise for communicating their ideas.This year, we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used. For example, some U. S. judges use machine learning systems to help them decide when, and for how long, criminals should be jailed. The system uses computers to examine data from thousands of court cases.One fast-growing area of AI is facial recognition, which is increasingly being used for security purposes. Recently, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport became the first inthe U. s. to permit passengers to use facial recognition technology to get on flights. A Chinese company showed off an AI system it developed to recognize individuals by body shape and walking movements. The system is already being used by Chinese police in Beijing and Shanghai.In addition, machine learning was used during 2018 to predict results of the World Cup soccer competition. The technology also created artwork that sold for a large amount of money. And it is being used to help farmer save time and money, while reducing environment-harming chemicals. Other technology systems are being used to follow farm animals and wildlife to collect information on their activities.1、Why were the two competitions mentioned in the passage?A．To show how much better AI and machine learning are than humans.B．To prove AI and machine Learning got more praise for communication.C．To show how powerful AI and machine Learning are.D．To prove AI and machine learning have been used in the work of U. S. judges.2、What are facial and body recognition systems used for in the passage? A．Knowledge learning.B．Safety control.C．Office automation.D．Tracking survey.3、What can we infer from this passage?A．AI has been widely used in every person's daily life.B．Human can be replaced by AI in future completely.C．More attention is being paid to AI in every part of the world.D．More advanced Al is helping people in more and more areas.4、Where is the text probably from?A．A technology report.B．A natural science magazine.C．A science fiction.D．A government document.24．（8分）If watching kids isn’t quite the part-time job you’d want to keep yourself busy with during the summer holidays, then here are some of the coolest jobs for teens.

Poverty, hard work, and even the fact that Father March was away with the Union armies could not down the spirits of Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy, and Marmee, as the March girls called their mother.The March sisters tried to be good but had their share of faults. Pretty Meg was often displeased with the schoolchildren she taught; boyish Jo was easy to become angry; golden-haired schoolgirl Amy liked to show up; but Beth, who kept the house, was loving and gentle always.The happy days passed and darkness came when a telegram arrived for Mrs. March. “Your husband is very ill,” it said, “come at once.” The girl tried to be brave when their mother left for the front. They waited and prayed. Little Beth got scarlet fever（猩红热）when she was taking care of the sick neighbor. She became very ill but began to recover by the time Marmee was back. When Father came home from the front and at that joyful Christmas dinner they were once more all together.Three years later the March girls had grown into young womanhood. Meg became Mrs. Brooke, and after a few family troubles got used to her new state happily. Jo had found pleasure in her literary efforts. Amy had grown into a young lady with a talent for design and an even greater one for society. But Beth had never fully regained her health, and her family watched her with love and anxiety.Amy was asked to go and stay in Europe with a relative of the Marches’. Jo went to New York and became successful in her writing and had the satisfaction of seeing her work published there. But at home the bitterest blow was yet to fall. Beth had known for some time that she couldn’t live much longer to be with the family and in the springtime she died.News came from Europe that Amy and Laurie, the grandson of a wealthy neighbor, had planned to be married soon. Now Jo became ever more successful in her writingand got married to Professor Bhaer and soon afterwards founded a school for boys.And so the little women had grown up and lived happily with their children, enjoying the harvest of love and goodness that they had devoted all their lives to.1、The members of the March family were Father March, Mrs. March and their________.A．five daughters B．four daughtersC．son and four daughters D．son and five daughters2、Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．The March Girls B．The March ParentsC．The March Family D．The March Relatives3、It can be inferred from the passage that the March family had ________.A．more girls than boys B．wealthy neighborsC．both happiness and sadness D．a lot of rich relatives第三部分语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项．26．（30分）For many 1 .
