Artificial intelligence(AI)teachers can provide customized teaching for students to meet their unique requirements through analyzing data and deep learning.In the future, they may replace human teachers for basic teaching tasks.Since some students may find it and put new power into traditional teaching patterns.An educational system providing customized teaching centered on students represents the future trend of AI education.China's AI education has developed rapidly in recent years with the rise of several thousand relevant companies.Currently,AI teachers are able to help students leamn pronunciation,analyze their condition,guide them to learn independently,and even grade writing assignments. Some foreign AI educational systems have been introduced into several domestic schools and have worked well on trial.However,the promotion of AI education is still facing several difficulties in practice such as low technological levels,inadequacy of data and lack of funds.AI education still depends largely on human teachers' work.Most importantly,it conflicts with current educational patterns because the courses developed by foreign countries are not suitable for Chinese exam-oriented education.Teachers may also find it hard to change their original roles in classrooms since easing control on classes may make them seem irresponsible.These problems need to be handled before the mass promotion of Al education.With AI teachers,the original teacher-centered classes will be transformed intostudent-centered ones where teachers only organize the class and provide guidance.Since teachers are supposed to not only equip students with knowledge but also shape their values and help themdevelop creative abilities,AI teachers will not replace human teachers but will only pose higher requirements of teaching.A combination of AI teachers and human ones can create the best future for Al education.______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________【答案】AI teachers c atering for students’ personalities can provide students with personalized teaching to meet their needs. China has seen rapid development in AI education in the past years. But many practical problems should be solved before its wide application. Despite the advantages of AI teachers, human ones will never be replaced; instead, both will play their joint roles in the future teaching.The function of AI teachers – the development of AI teachers – the problems of AI teachers before wide application – the role of human teachers with the application of AI teachers【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是概要写作。

People.(D)Artificial intelligence (人工智能) or AI in short, is the science of giving computers and machines the ability to think and work like humans. AI scientists and engineershave made a lot of cool technologies.AI is rapidly catching up with the human ability to read faces. As a result, facial recognition(识别) is used a lot in the world. Chinese police use this technology toidentify criminals(罪犯). Once they caught a criminal when he attended a concert. Italso checks the ID of ride-hailing(网约车) drivers and lets people pay for things with a smile.AI is also used in self-driving cars, which are believed to be the future of driving. Most drivers may wave or nod at passers-by to let them cross the street, but self-driving cars don’t have this ability. Carmakers are testing a light signal system to help them “speak” to humans. The system can show what self-driving cars will do. For example, ifa driverless car is yielding (让路), it will flash two white lights side to side. A rapidly flashing light tells passers-by that the car is about to speed up.Service Robots also show you how powerful AI is. Imagine this — you come back home from school and your robot housekeeper is waiting for you at the door. After dinner, he teaches you to play the piano, just like a real music teacher. Such thoughtswill soon happen in the real world. In the future, more and more service robots will become good home helpers. Therefore, AI is so powerful that it can help human beings and even replace us in many jobs.Math is the basic language of AI. If we raise the standard in the learning of math, our students will be more likely to become successful AI designers in the future. We notonly want bright students, but also need to attract average students and give them themain skills which are needed to change them into AI designers. Besides, good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative and emotional AI which can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this fascinating field.51. What does the underlined word “identify” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. To let somebody know his mistakes.B. To come to realize and tell who is who.C. To take somebody to the police station.D To inform somebody of something important52. According to the passage, what is facial recognition used for?A. Driving cars.B. Making people smile.C. Calling the police.D. Checking people's information.53. Which technology has been used in real life according to the passage?A. Service Robots at school.B.Robots as ride-hailing drivers.C. Facial recognition for paymentD. Light signals for self-driving cars.54. According to the writer and the following school report, which student will most probably become a successful AI designer?65. Which of the following may be the best title for this article?A. The future of human beings.B. The argument between humans and AI.C. The history of AI.D. The usage of AI.第二节阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分）My name is Annie Green, and I’m a high school student.

A while later, they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing （挤） out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away at once. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard."The others thought for a while and said:"That was why!"A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads, being embarrassed, and did not dare to answer.In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.A.smokeB.waterC.fireD.sandWhen some government officials found a mouse hole in a corner, they used toforce the mice inside to come out.（1）A.one was biting the otherB.the mouth of the hole was too smallC.they were not afraid of smokeD.one was trying to help the blind oneNeither of the two mice ran away immediately because .（2）A.B.C.D.Why did they lower their heads, being embarrassed, according to the passage?Because they did not dare to answer.Because they guessed the wrong relationship of the mice.Because they regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.Because they didn't express the best understanding of it.（3）A It is clear that .all the mice came out of the hole easily（4）D.the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sightA.Two Lovely MiceB.Help Produced LoveC.Friends in NeedD.Love Is AllThe best title for the passage is .（5）As one saying goes, where there are Chinese people, there are kung fu legends.Jin Yong, also known as Louis Cha Leung-yung, was regarded as one of the greatest kung fu fiction writers in China. And for many people, Cha built a magical kung fu kingdom that they could escape into every now and then. But this kingdom is falling apart now, because Cha passed away on Oct 30, 2018, at the age of 94.Cha wrote all of his 15 wuxia novels between 1955 and 1972. While the value and tastes of readers have changed greatly in recent decades, his books continue to attract people. His works have been filmed into movies and TV series so many times in Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Chinese mainland that the comparison of these versions （版本） is of great interest to his fans.There is always a knight （大侠） with a spirit that is sincere in love, friendship and patriotism （爱国精神）at the center of his stories. Such characters move both men and women. For example, in The Return of the Condor Heroes 《神雕侠侣》, the young knight Yang Guo waits for his lover Xiaolongnu faithfully for 16 years, believing that she is still alive, even if she has jumped from a mountain into a valley. And in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils 《天龙八部》, powerful Xiao Feng treats his friends with sincere feelings, ready to die for the peace of his homeland.Cha has an excellent ability of using language. He has a theory about writing an attractive plot: "To make a lie believable, it's better to tell 10 truthful things along with it." This theory works well for Cha's writing. His stories are always full of rich history; the rules of partial arts （武术）are described in detail. As a result, he achieved a sense of realism with his partial arts heroes.Cha's books bring readers joy, and Cha himself has equal fun creating them. "Writing gives me space for imagination, just like a director, " Cha once said.However, Cha's real aim in writing novels is to show traditional Chinese valued and qualities. "Kung fu novels must describe justice and honesty. The good fight the wicked .Traditional valued are shown through the characters and their stories, not by lecturing readers, "he said.4 A.B.C.D.From the passage, we can know all of them EXCEPT .Cha spent about 17 years writing his 15 novelsCha is a famous writer as well as a famous directorpeople can get lost in the magical world when reading Cha's novelsCha always pay much attention to the Chinese traditional value in his novels（1）Why do Louis Cha's novels attract so many people?a ．their characters（2）A.abcdB.abdeC.abceD.acded ．Cha's deep understanding of readers' valued and tastese ．the traditional valued and qualities describedA.B.C.D.Which of the following statement is TRUE?Louis Cha was considered as the greatest kung fu fiction writer in the world.Because the tastes of readers have changed, Cha's books can't attract people any more.The Return of the Condor Heroes only talked about the spirit of the sincere love.Louis Cha likes reading lots of historical books to help his writing.（3）A.B.C.D.In the last paragraph, the underlined words "the wicked " refers to .the man full of strengththe man who are dishonestthe people who are weak in kong futhe people who are morally （道德上） unacceptable（4）A.B.C.D.What is the main idea of the passage?It analyzes （分析） why the books written by Louis Cha are so popular.It analyzed what kungfu fiction is and the related traditional value.It mainly talks about the characters in Louis Cha's books.It mainly describe Louis Cha's skills in writing novels.（5）5A.RecycleB.DangerousC.WetD.DryYour mother should put her unwanted lipstick （口红） in the bin.（1）A.flowers B.toilet paper C.paint D.batteriesWhich of the following kinds of waste should go in the wet bin?（2）A.copper pipes B.plastic bags C.copy paper D.paper cupsWhich of the following can be recycled?（3）A.Food Advertisementsic magazinesC.Health ReportsD.Waste sort postersWhere can you read it?（5）Parrots have been known to minic （模仿） words, but have you ever thought how theycommunicate? The sounds they make may sound meaningless to us, but new research has found that wild parrots are actually given names by their parents.According to a study led by Karl Betg of Cornell University in the US, nestlings （雏鸟）are given a unique sound of their own, which stays with them for their entire lives. In the study,the team placed hidden cameras in the nests of 17 different wild parrots. After studying their sounds, the team discovered small differences in the calls parents used to communicate with each chick. And eyes before the nestling had beamed to communicate properly, the baby birds seemed to recognize and mimic their calls.Sounds very similar to humans, doesn't it? The study also proved that these signature calls are acquired （获得）socially not genetically （基因上地）. To do this, scientists exchange the eggs in nine of the 17 nests, so that half of the parrots were raising nestling that weren't ing the recording, the scientists made a conclusion that the nestling all used names similar to those the parents （whether biological or nonbiological ） called them for the first weeks of their lives.Lucie MeNeil, from National Geographic, said, "This would be the first proven example of a non-human species teaching acoustical （声学的） communication."Lead scientist for the study, Karl beg told National Public Radio of the US, "Most people say, 'Well, all those calls are just noise, ' but I think they're having conversations.''Fox News also asked Berg what else the parrots might be saying. He replied, "The theory is that these birds are deciding where the food is, 'Do we want to go 3 km North-Northwest? '"Do we want to go to that field? ' They are kind of arguing or discussing."Natural science author, Virginia Morell, wrote: "Very gradually, scientists are learning to decode the conversations of very different animals that live lives rich with plans, quarrels, and romance."You never know, if the science of animal translation keeps developing, we might one day be watching a reality series about parrots.6 A.B.C.D.What did the new research find about wild parrots?They can talk by learning from people.The sounds they make are meaningless.They have names given by their parents.They have a unique way of making sounds.（1）A.B.What does the study suggest?Different parrots are called differently by their parents.Baby parrots can tell who their biological parents are.（2）A.B.C.D.Why did the scientists exchange the eggs in the study?To see whether the parents could recognize their own babies.To see whether the parrots made the same sounds all their lives.To see whether the signature calls were acquired socially or genetically.To see whether biological and nonbiological parents named babies differently.（3）A.mimic B.understand C.practice D.createThe underlined word "decode" in the passage is closest in meaning to " ”（4）A.④②①③⑤ B.②④①③⑤ C.④③①②⑤ D.②⑤④①⑤Which one is the correct order?①Baby parrots learned how to communicate rightly.②Scientists exchanged the eggs in the nests.③Baby parrots can recognize and mimic their calls.④Nestlings are given a sound of their own.⑤People proved the parrots can use sound to communicate with each other.（5）A.B.C.D.E.American actress Natalie Portman is a confident and successful woman. However, fewpeople realize that Portman had some very difficult moments in the past, and it happened during her time at Harvard University.Portman went to Harvard at the age of 18. 1 But on that famous campus, she lost her confidence. She thought she could never read 1, 000 pages every week or write a 50-page paper. She was shocked by her classmates. 2 "I felt like every time I opened my mouth, I would have to show that I wasn't just a dumbed （愚蠢的）actress. " In 2003, Portman graduated. She said the experience taught her that one should always be confident. 3She tried a lot of new things with A Tale of Love and Darkness 《爱与黑暗的故事》. She directed it. She wrote part of the script （剧本）. 4"All of these things were challenges I should have been feared, as I was completely unprepared." said Portman. " 5 , and my belief that I could handle these things was half the battle （成功了一半）."That way, she said, you can "try things that you never would have tried"But once there, I had to work it all out.At the time, she had been acting for seven years and was already famous.They thought the quantity of work was easy compared with high school.She also shot the film entirely in Hebrew （希伯来语）, the language of Israel, her birthplace.7四、语篇补全（共5小题，每小题1分，共5分）五、首字母填空（共6小题，每小题1分，共6分）—Don't be so rude.

Almost a month ago, he bought a popular word game that used little pieces of wood with different letters on them. As he was pay ing for it, the salesgirl said, “Uh, look, the game box hasn’t even been opened yet. That might be worth some money .”Peter examined the box, and, sure enough, it was completely covered in factory-sealed plastic. And he saw a date of 1979 on the back of the box. “You should put that up for auction (拍卖) on the Internet, and see what happens,” the salesgirl said. “Yes, you’re right. People like something rare,” Peter agreed. “I can’t imagine there being many unopened boxes of this game around 40 years later .”“Don’t forget to tell me if you sell it,” the salesgirl smiled. “No problem,” Peter said.After he got home, Peter went online to several auction websites looking for his game. But he couldn’t find it. Then he typed in the name of the word game and hit Search. The search result was 543 websites containing information about the changes of the game. Over the years, the game had been produced using letters in different sizes and game boards in different colors. He also found some lists of game fans looking for various versions of the game. Peter emailed some of them, telling them what he had.Two weeks later, Peter went back to the shop. “Hello. Do you still remember the unopened word game?” The salesgirl looked at him for a second, then recognized him and said, “Oh, hi! ”“I’ve got something for you,” Peter said. “I sold the game and made $1,000. Thank you for your suggestion.” He handed her three $100 bills. “Wow! ” the salesgirl cried out. “Thank you, I never expected it.”( ) 56. Which of the following best describes Peter's word game?A. It was made around 40 years ago.B. It had game boards in different sizes.C.It was kept in a plastic bag with a seal.D. It had little pieces of wood in different colors.( ) 57.

We should be grateful for the help from others .D. Something strange is worth a large amount of money .BHave you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon” ? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate “once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.” While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression . In fact, the phrase “blue moon” has something to do with the shape of the moon, not the color .As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon, it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail. When we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon . Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however, there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a “blue moon”.Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare event. This fact has led people to use the expression “once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.( ) 60. Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase “once in a blue moon”?A. Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon .C. Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in blue moon .D. Cindy hates to stay up, but she stays up every day. Cindy s t ays up once in a blue moon. ( ) 61. When does a blue moon happen in nature?A. When the moon has a blue color.B. When we cannot see the moon at all.C. When there are two full moons in one month .D. When we can only see a small part of the moon .( ) 62. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years ?A. Once a year.B. Less than once a year.C. More than once a year.D. At least twice a year.( ) 63. What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?A. A blue moon is a very rare event.B. The moon appears to change shape .C. The moon itself is never really blue.D. a blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon .CFrie n ds and BuddiesThis program is planned for teenagers who have special needs with the goal of meeting within a community with other peers.

It is a good opportunity to know about the society and realize the importance of co-working with others.But is it good to take a job while you are a university student? There are both advantages and disadvantages if we were to answer this question. If we we re to think about the advantages, we could mention the ones I have just discussed. Having a job from an early age helps us gain experience, which will be very useful to our later life. We may become financially independent and don ’t need to ask our parents for money each time we want to go downtown with our friends, or spend the holiday at the seaside or in the mountains.Ho w ever, students who take a job might have problems in spending enough time on their study . If they work during the day, they may have to be absent from their classes, and if they work at night they will feel tired the next day. They may choose to stay at home, resting. What’s worse, some students may even get bored with study.Well, this fact happens every now and then, but there are case s when well-prepared students take a part-time job but at the same time they make time for study, too. And they have good results. Their case is a good example to follow among the students who decide to work while being in university. Anyway, we need to keep in mind that study is the most important job for a student .( ) 68. The writer believes that some college students work ________.A. for further educationB. for pleasureC. to support their familyD. to learn about the society( ) 69. According to the passage, college students who take a job can ________.A. make more friendsB. prepare themselves for their later lifeC. win free journeysD. have complete independence from their family ( ) 70. Taking a job may cause a student to ________.A. be absent from their examsB. lose their interest in their studyC. be in conflict with their roommatesD. receive punishment from their teachers( ) 71. In the writer’s opinion, college students ________.A. had better take a part-time job during vacationB. should not take a jobC. should keep a balance between work and studyD. should learn by workingEIncreased use of the Internet and mobile phones are undermining pupil s’ability to study independently and promoting poor grammar,Cranfield School of Management found almost 6 in 10 school children were copying information directly from websites for homework tasks without properly reading it. More than a quarter thought it was an acceptable practice, even though they know it was considered plagiarism(剽窃).The study, based on a sample of around 260 pupils, suggested that modern technology was having a destructive effect on young people. Although school policies forbid mobile phone usage,students use the phones frequently, with the majority making calls from the toilets. The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.The report showed that so-called “text-speak” was increasingly found in pupils' school work. 3 in 10 students admit using text message shortcuts, such as “r u ok” in essays and classroom tasks. A study found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils ’ writing because it was so full of confusing spellings. Phrases such as “innit” and “Gr8” were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that the mobile use was so co m mon that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones. More than a third said they would use their mobile phones in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call. ( ) 72. The underlined word “undermining” in the first paragraph can best be replaced by ____ __.A. determiningB. keepingC. weakeningD. increasing ( ) 73. What can we learn from the passage?A.

Students like to invent new words in their writing.D. 30% of pupils often send text messages when studying .( ) 74. The passage is mainly about ________.A. the negative effect of technology on student s’ studyB. technology’s positive influence on student achievementC. the importance of online social communicationD. the rapidly growing role of communication technologies( ) 75.

Reading comprehensionA. Choose the best answerMy father was Chief Engineer of a business ship, which was sunk in World War Ⅱ. The book Night of the Uboats told the story.MemoriesIn September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him safe.Then I remember my mother lying face down, crying. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo（鱼雷）.I can remember the arrival of the telegram（电报）, which in those days always brought bad news. My grandmother opened it. It read, “Safe. Love Ted.”My most clear memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage（绑带）.He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.TorpedoOne torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be given up.By the time he got on deck（甲板）he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck strongly. When he tried to cut it free, it moved against the ship, hurting his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump -- still with the photograph in his pocket.Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion（爆炸）, a sinking ship, a jump into a huge ocean and a wait for rescue? I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war for fear that we may forget.1. We can guess that the mother and children went to Swansea to _________.A. see the father offB. meet a friendC. take a family photoD. enjoy the sailing of the ship2.

Answer the questionsAs we grow up, we gradually cultivate（培养）a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that everyone also has his own belief of how to manage his money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories （分类）--- the ant, the cricket（蟋蟀）and the snail.★The ant -- work firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they make so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save, but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks（基金和股票）with low risk.★The cricket -- fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.★ The snail --- life under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans（贷款）from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford them. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.1. Is it easy or difficult to change our life when we set up our value system?__________________________________________________________________2. What can influence our own values or beliefs?__________________________________________________________________3. Why don’t these people like ants usually care about enjoying the moment?__________________________________________________________________4. What suggestion does the passage give the young people who have fun first?__________________________________________________________________5. What does the underlined word “luxury” in Paragraph 4 mean in English according to the passage It means “__________________________________________________________________.”6. Which kind of person would you like to be, an ant, a cricket or a snail? Why?__________________________________________________________________.Ⅳ. WritingMy progress（以“我进步了”为题，写一篇不少于60字的短文，标点符号不占格。
