21．（6分）More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas, lots of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949. About 1.67mill ion pieces are housed no more than 200 museums in4 7 countries, which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics, and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States, Europe, Japan and Southeast Asian countries. There are more than 23, 000 pieces in the British Museum, most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back. In some cases, private collectors donated the relics to the government. Also the government can turn lo official channels in) to demand the return of relics.In 2003, a priceless bronze pig's head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago. Macao entrepreneur(企业家)Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures, limited funding is always a bigheadache.In recent years, the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas. It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information. It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter, and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.1、What is the passage mainly about?A．The ways to recover cultural relicsB．The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relicsC．Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig's head to Beijing.D．Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.2、We can infer from the passage that _________.A．China has enough money to buy all the cultural relics back.B．the Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relicsC．many countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for freeD．China is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics3、Which of the following statements about the bronze pigs head is NOT true?A．It was made in the Qing Dynasty.B．It is now in the Poly Art Museum in BeijingC．It was donated by the French government to China.D．It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago4、The underl ined word "feasible" in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_______”. A．possible B．difficultC．wonderful D．careful22．（8分）Losing a wallet is one of those careless acts most of us have come across, at some point or the other in our lives. While most of us tend to move on after mourning over the lost necessities, there are a few lucky ones who get them back, with the help of the police or the generosity of the person who finds it.And then there is Hunter Shamatt, who not only got back his wallet but with some added happiness that was tagged along!Hunter was on his way to attend his sister’s wedding on a Las Vegas-bound flight when he realized that he has misplaced his wallet, sometime during the journey. Hunter’s family reached out to the Frontier flig ht to enquire if someone had handed it over to them. Unfortunately, there was no sign of the missing wallet.But wait. The story was far from over. Just a week after Hunter’s sister’s wedding, he received a package in his mail. And guess what? There was his wallet! Surprisingly, the wallet was not the only thing that was inside the package. It also had a handwritten note for Hunter which turned out to be a bonus! The piece of paper read, “Hunter, Found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver — row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best.P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100, so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. HAVE FUN”Moved by the touching gesture, Hunter’s mom, Jeannie Shamatt, decided to write a post on Facebook giving a detailed description of the incident. She also urged everyone to share the post as she would like to meet and greet the person behind the act of kindness, personally.Now, thanks to the astonishing power of social media, the post finally reached the man behind the note. The man was identified as Todd Brown and it was one of hisco-workers who made sure Jeannie Shamatt’s post reaches his colleague. Jeannie turned to Facebook again to thank Brown and his family for restoring her faith in humanity.“I try to teach my children to do the right things in life, help people when you can regardless of the outcome. This story is more about restoring faith in people than anything. We hear a lot of bad news but not enough good news. I personally want to thank Todd Brown and his wife for restoring faith that there are amazing people out there.”1、How did Hunter Shamatt get his wallet back?A．Todd Brown sent it back.B．The police mailed it back.C．He found the wallet by himself.D．The Frontier flight helped him get it back.2、What things were found in the package?A．A wallet and a tag.

One day when addressing Barry’s class, Bina48 expressed a d esire to go to college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barry suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesn’t understand, said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his students thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple —it’s a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry, highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working with artificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48’s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on Y ouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.1、What was Bina48’s performance like in class?A．Unattractive. B．Insignificant.C．Far-reaching. D．Extraordinary.2、What does the underlined word “addressing” in paragraph 3 probably me an? A．Giving a speech to. B．Consulting with.C．Dealing with. D．Sending a letter to.3、What can we learn from the passage?A．It was interesting for Bina48 to learn about love.B．It was quite tough for Bina48 to learn about love.C．Humans can launch a challenge to artificial intelligence.D．Artificial intelligence may somehow be superior to man.4、What does Barry think of the future development of Bina48?A．It will surely be able to serve as a teacher.B．It will completely take the place of instructors.C．It will be able to promote learning and teaching.D．It will be smart enough to control human beings.24．（8分）People have been acting like people---in other words, they’ve been making tools, creating ceremonies, and sharing food—for a long time. That’s th e conclusion of a recent study from South Africa’s southern coast.There, in a cave lying above the sea, researchers from Arizona State University have found evidence that humans were behaving in surprisingly complex ways as early as 124,000 years ago. Our species, Homo sapiens, appeared an estimated 200,000 years ago.The cave held three important clues about the behavior of these Stone Age people.First, the researchers found the remains of all kinds of shellfish. The people who lived in the cave probably collected these creatures from rocky shores and tide pools and brought them to the cave to eat.The researchers propose the early Africans moved to the South African coast between 191,000 and 130,000 years ago. Around that time, the climate inland turned relatively cold and dry. Therefore, there were fewer plants and animals to eat away from the coast.When these ancient people moved to the coast, they probably experienced a major cultural shift, the researchers suspect. That’s because observations of mode rnhunter-gatherer societies suggest that men are more likely to hunt for big animals when people live inland. On the coast, women play a more important role in providing food by gathering plants and shellfish.As for the second clue, the researchers unearthed 13 pieces of reddish pigment(颜料). The researchers think that the cave habitants used the paint for coloring their bodies or for other ceremonies. Symbolic behavior is a clearly human feature.Finally, the search discovered over 1,400 stone tools, including well-crafted blades(刀片). These blades came in various sizes. The smallest were just less than a half-inch wide. Ancient people may have attached these blades to the end of a stick to make spears orother tools.1、Why did the early Africans move to the south African coast according to the text? A．To avoid cold and dry weatherB．To look for enough food to eatC．To seek the cultural developmentD．To collect more shellfish to make tools2、What does the underlined word “unearthed” in Paragraph 3 mean? A．Introduced B．ProducedC．Used D．Found3、According to the text, we can learn that the cave habitants__________.A．might make tools with kinds of bladesB．could hunt for fish in the sea by shipC．made a living mainly by eating shellfishD．knew how to use to colors for painting houses4、What may be the best title for the text?A．The finding of the Stone Age toolsB．New features of the Stone Age caveC．The behavior of the Stone Age peopleD．Human behavior’s development25．（10分）Many cities in the world are benefiting from the nocturnal (夜间活动的) activities of a group of people who call themselves guerrilla (游击队的) gardeners. Armed with trowels, spades arid a van full of flowers and plants, guerrilla gardeners turn abandoned urban land into a blaze of colon. In city centre locations where there was mud, weeds and empty plastic bottles, residents often wake up to find that the wasted area has been transformed overnight with brightly-colored bedding plants.In most British cities, local governments and police turn a blind eye to the exploit of the gardeners, whose activities are always carried out under cover of nightfall. And so far, there has been nothing but praise from the astonished and delighted local residents when they find their neighborhood transformed in such a striking fashion.Not only do the guerilla gardeners beautify neglected places, they also return regularly to water the plants and weed the flower beds. They also make sure that at leastsome of the plants they bring are evergreens, which means th at the area doesn’t look dismal in the winter months.The first guerrilla gardener in London was Richard Reynolds, whose day job is at an advertising agency. Mr. Reynolds, a graduate of Oxford University, began his efforts two years ago when he moved to a flat in a tower block in South London. From his balcony, he could see several empty concrete pots, placed by the local government to contain plants but never used. He went out after midnight and filled the pots with plants, and then planted more flowers in the path leading to the entrance to the block.He then set up a website to explain his plan and called upon more gardeners to join him. Cash donations flooded in and, more importantly, volunteers rushed to be part of the campaign. Within six months, there were five hundred people in London prepared to come out at very short notice to revitalize (恢复活力) neglected parts of the urban landscape. There are now unofficial but carefully-organized groups in many cities in Britain and North America and there is a website where would-be urban gardeners can find out the location of the next expedition.1、According to the text, guerrilla gardeners got their names ________.A．because of the residents’ advice B．from the local governmentC．for the nature of their work D．based on the local cultures2、These guerrilla gardeners do their work ________.A．at the request of the government B．nearby their houseC．often in return for others’ help D．of their own free will3、Why do the guerrilla gardeners often return to their former working place?A．To look after these plants. B．To enjoy these beautiful flowers. C．To help plants live through winter months. D．To change the types of these plants. 4、Richard Reynolds decided to fill the pots with plants with the purpose of ________. A．making the neighborhood more beautiful B．agreeing with his own job C．advertising some products in his agency D．killing his spare time5、It can be inferred from the text that these guerrilla gardeners ________.A．are mainly from the United Kingdom B．will later get well paidC．are still not accepted by the local people D．become more and more organized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）In 2014, my boyfriend left me.
