15 year-old Maddi went to an evening party with some boys without parental permission, playing late into the night. So her dad gave her a choice---either handing over her phone for a month, or giving him right to use her social media for two weeks. She chose the latter, giving Dad the keyword to her TikTok, and the Internet is so appreciative.
Maddi’s dad began to take over her social media early in November, so her followers could expect “some amazing posts, photos and short videos from her dad”. On November 11, Larry, Maddi’s dad, had already begun his funny performance to embarrass his teen daughter, by posting a selfie(自拍), titled “Felt cute. Might delete later”. But that was only the beginning, and by her dad's third post, the teen was already begging him to take away her phone for a month.
“After the first day, Maddi changed her mind and wanted to choose the one month,” the girl’s mother Tawnya couldn’t help laughing when interviewed by TODAY.com. “Larry told her, ‘No. I’m too fascinated. I have too many ideas. We’re sticking with the two weeks.’ He’s loving it. I think he’s gonna make his own TikTok account(账号) when this is over.”
From posing in a tight top and wearing a blonde wig(假发), to ballet dance, it seemed like there was nothing the 43-year-old daddy wouldn’t do to entertain, and Maddi’s friends and social media followers were attracted.
Over the two weeks, Madddi’s Instagram fans jumped from around 2,700 to 12,700, at the time of this writing, so she should probably thank her dad for the punishment. The only question is, can she continue Dad’s style She’ll have to try, as many of her social media followers are already asking her to “bring Dad back”.
“We’re always down to embarrass our kids!” Tawnya Ford said; adding that her husband often picks up their kids from school dressed as Donald Duck.
24. Why did Maddi let her dad use her TikTok
A. She wanted to share with him.
B. She wanted to amaze her fans.
C. She had wasted too much time.
D. She had broken the family rule.

A. Her fans, expectation.
B. Her mother’s words.
C. Her dad’s funny posts.
D. Her addiction to the Internet.
26. How did Maddi’s mother sound when speaking to the interviewer
A. Stressed and serious. B. Excited and Proud.
C. Nervous and anxious. D. Relaxed and amused.
27. What can be a suitable title for the text

C. Dad Helps Daughter Gain Fans
D. Dad Took over Daughter’s TikTok

Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name comes from the Italian word for heartbeats. Eduard Schmieder is the program's conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with help from the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the festival concentrates on music from the 1600s to the 1900s and the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and Italy, Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and they become friends. He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful. Also, cello (大提琴) player Francisco Vila from Ecuador said, “Music is our common language, having no geographic boundaries.” Vila added that the musicians get to know more about each other as they perform great music. “It’s interesting to see where we intersect (相交) and how many things we have in common. And also the music world is quite small, so you’re only one person away from knowing everyone else.”
The musicians taking part in the program are of ages from their late teens to their 30s. Schmieder said they include winners of major music competitions. Peter Rainer is a violin player from Germany. He serves as concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor.
“The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange,” said Russian violinist Semyo Promoe, “and everyone has their own opinion of music, knowing how to play every composition. It’s very interesting to interact with everybody and play together.”
28. What do we know about iPalpiti
A It aims to train young musicians only.
B. It concentrates on classical music.
C. It’s an international musical festival.
D. It was started by an Italian musician.
29. What does the underlined phrase “geographic boundaries” mean in Para.2
A. Dividing lines. B. Cultural differences.
C. Travelling problems. D. National connections.
30. What do Semyo Promoe’s words suggest in the last paragraph
A. The program concentrates more on culture than on music.
B. Musicians from different cultures can play well together.
C. Cultural differences affect musicians’ performance a lot.
D. Different people have the same understanding of music.
31. How many violinists are mentioned in the passage
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
D
Researchers have found a way to use software to teach a human-like robotic hand new skills. The discovery could one day make it less expensive to train robots to do things that are easy for humans to do. The researchers are with OpenAI, a nonprofit artificial intelligence research group started in 2015.
OpenAI researchers announced last week that they had taught a robotic hand to recognize different qualities of a colorful object The object was a small, six-sided box with different numbers and colors on each side. The researchers wanted the robotic hand to show them a specific side of the box. The machine was able to turn the box around until the desired side was shown.
The act may seem simple. But it shows a big improvement in how the machine learned to do what the researchers were asking of it.
All the learning happened inside a software-based re-creation of the real world, or a simulation. The machine was then able to bring everything it had learned into the physical world. That jump helps solve what had been a big problem for robotic hands.
Ken Goldberg is a robotics professor in University of California Berkeley. He did not join in the OpenAI research. But he did review the work released in late July. He called it “an important result” in getting closer to the goal of having self-taught machines.
Lilian Weng is a member of the technical team at OpenAI who worked on the research. She told the Reuters news agency that the group now aims to teach the robotic hand even more complex tasks.
32. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. It costs much to train robots at present.
B. A robot can easily learn to act as humans.
C. OpenAI has developed a human-like robotic hand.
D. A new software has been developed to train robots.
33. What did the researchers teach the robotic hand to do
A. To count numbers and conclude. B. To turn around a six-sided box.
C. To recognize colors and numbers. D. To find and show a colorful object.
34. What can we expect the robotic hand to do next
A. To learn to do more difficult work. B. To teach other machines what to do.
C To learn to get closer to humans' life. D. To replace humans’ work completely.
35. Where is the text most likely from
A. A travel leaflet. B. A science magazine.
C. A social survey. D. An experiment report.

M: But Mike didn’t spend half as much time on his project as I did and he still got an “A”.

【原文】W: Good morning, boys and girls. My name is Tiera Fletcher. I’m glad to be invited here by your head teacher to tell you about what I loved doing as a young girl. When I was little, I was really interested in mathematics. My mom was working for a large company. She helped her company keep track of money. She began to teach me about the basic knowledge of mathematics before I turned five. I really loved dealing with numbers. I’d use math to help her with her shopping. We would go to the grocery store. She would have me tell her how much we would spend on the things. So that’s how I practiced math. Since I didn’t complain about it, my mom understood that I must have a love for math. When I was young, I also loved drawing and building things. When I was drawing a house, I would actually want to build it. I’d use simple materials to build it. Today, I work as an engineer at Boeing. I do what I truly love doing. I hope you all can find out what you truly love and do it in the future.

15 year-old Maddi went to an evening party with some boys without parental permission, playing late into the night. So her dad gave her a choice---either handing over her phone for a month, or giving him right to use her social media for two weeks. She chose the latter, giving Dad the keyword to her TikTok, and the Internet is so appreciative.
Maddi’s dad began to take over her social media early in November, so her followers could expect “some amazing posts, photos and short videos from her dad”. On November 11, Larry, Maddi’s dad, had already begun his funny performance to embarrass his teen daughter, by posting a selfie(自拍), titled “Felt cute. Might delete later”. But that was only the beginning, and by her dad's third post, the teen was already begging him to take away her phone for a month.
“After the first day, Maddi changed her mind and wanted to choose the one month,” the girl’s mother Tawnya couldn’t help laughing when interviewed by TODAY.com. “Larry told her, ‘No. I’m too fascinated. I have too many ideas. We’re sticking with the two weeks.’ He’s loving it. I think he’s gonna make his own TikTok account(账号) when this is over.”
From posing in a tight top and wearing a blonde wig(假发), to ballet dance, it seemed like there was nothing the 43-year-old daddy wouldn’t do to entertain, and Maddi’s friends and social media followers were attracted.
Over the two weeks, Madddi’s Instagram fans jumped from around 2,700 to 12,700, at the time of this writing, so she should probably thank her dad for the punishment. The only question is, can she continue Dad’s style She’ll have to try, as many of her social media followers are already asking her to “bring Dad back”.
“We’re always down to embarrass our kids!” Tawnya Ford said; adding that her husband often picks up their kids from school dressed as Donald Duck.
24. Why did Maddi let her dad use her TikTok

B. She wanted to amaze her fans.
C. She had wasted too much time.

Twenty-five young musicians from around the world have come to California to train and perform this month. They will take part in an international program called iPalpiti. The name comes from the Italian word for heartbeats. Eduard Schmieder is the program's conductor and musical director. Schmieder and his wife started the program in 1997 with help from the great violinist Yehudi Menuhin.
This year, the festival concentrates on music from the 1600s to the 1900s and the musicians come from 19 countries, including Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Israel and Italy, Schmieder notes some of the musicians are from countries that are at war with each other. And they are sitting next to each other, and they become friends. He says through their music and friendship, they are making the world more peaceful. Also, cello (大提琴) player Francisco Vila from Ecuador said, “Music is our common language, having no geographic boundaries.” Vila added that the musicians get to know more about each other as they perform great music. “It’s interesting to see where we intersect (相交) and how many things we have in common. And also the music world is quite small, so you’re only one person away from knowing everyone else.”
The musicians taking part in the program are of ages from their late teens to their 30s. Schmieder said they include winners of major music competitions. Peter Rainer is a violin player from Germany. He serves as concertmaster, the link between the musicians and conductor.
“The experience is a cultural as well as a musical exchange,” said Russian violinist Semyo Promoe, “and everyone has their own opinion of music, knowing how to play every composition. It’s very interesting to interact with everybody and play together.”
28. What do we know about iPalpiti
A. It aims to train young musicians only.
B. It concentrates on classical music.
C. It’s an international musical festival.
D. It was started by an Italian musician.

C. Travelling problems. D. National connections.

B. Musicians from different cultures can play well together.
C. Cultural differences affect musicians’ performance a lot.
D. Different people have the same understanding of music.

Researchers have found a way to use software to teach a human-like robotic hand new skills. The discovery could one day make it less expensive to train robots to do things that are easy for humans to do. The researchers are with OpenAI, a nonprofit artificial intelligence research group started in 2015.
OpenAI researchers announced last week that they had taught a robotic hand to recognize different qualities of a colorful object The object was a small, six-sided box with different numbers and colors on each side. The researchers wanted the robotic hand to show them a specific side of the box. The machine was able to turn the box around until the desired side was shown.
The act may seem simple. But it shows a big improvement in how the machine learned to do what the researchers were asking of it.
All the learning happened inside a software-based re-creation of the real world, or a simulation. The machine was then able to bring everything it had learned into the physical world. That jump helps solve what had been a big problem for robotic hands.
Ken Goldberg is a robotics professor in University of California Berkeley. He did not join in the OpenAI research. But he did review the work released in late July. He called it “an important result” in getting closer to the goal of having self-taught machines.
Lilian Weng is a member of the technical team at OpenAI who worked on the research. She told the Reuters news agency that the group now aims to teach the robotic hand even more complex tasks.
32. What can we infer from paragraph 1
A. It costs much to train robots at present.
B. A robot can easily learn to act as humans.
C. OpenAI has developed a human-like robotic hand.
D. A new software has been developed to train robots.
33. What did the researchers teach the robotic hand to do
A. To count numbers and conclude. B. To turn around a six-sided box.
C. To recognize colors and numbers. D. To find and show a colorful object.
34. What can we expect the robotic hand to do next
A. To learn to do more difficult work. B. To teach other machines what to do.
C. To learn to get closer to humans' life. D. To replace humans’ work completely.
35. Where is the text most likely from
A. A travel leaflet. B. A science magazine.
C. A social survey. D. An experiment report.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. B
【解析】

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一个建筑师要离职,却被老板要求最后再为他建筑一套房,建筑师心不在焉,胡乱凑合建起后结果却发现老板原本要把这套房送给他作为礼物。
61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:曾经有一个讨厌自己工作的建筑师。此处是限定性定语从句,先行词是architect,指人,在从句作主语,应用关系代词who或that引导。故填who或that。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:然而,他老板想让他在离开团队前帮助完成最后一个工作。连词before后为时间状语从句,所此空应该填从句的谓语,本句为过去时态且与动词与主语为主动关系。故填left。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他花费了一个夏天建造这房子。本句中spend time (in) doing sth 为固定短语搭配表示“做某事花费某人多少时间”。此空应用动名词形式。故填building。
【64题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:这结果是他曾建造的最糟糕的房子。根据后面he had ever built可知,前面形容词应用最高级。故填worst。
【65题详解】
考查介词。句意:我想为你做一些特别的事情。固定短语do sth for sb“为某人做某事”。故填for。
【66题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个建筑师非常生气。此处作表语,应用形容词。故填angry。
【67题详解】

【69题详解】
考查条件状语从句。句意:如果我们有一个消极的思维模式,我们将失去创造最好生活和将来可能性的机会。此处条件状语从句,应用if引导。故填If。
【70题详解】

增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。
删除:把多余的词用斜线(\)划掉。
修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意:1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词;
2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分
I remember my first the visit to the dentist in the U.S. First, she started to cleaned my teeth. After a few minute she said, “Close.” Then I moved closer, right next to her, so she shook her head, pointing at my mouth. I final understood she wanted me to close my mouth. I am so embarrassed! Then I learned the difference between the verb close [klo z] which means “to shut” and the adjective close [klo s] referring “nearby”. Six months late, I went to the same dentist. This time when she said the word close, they both laughed. What an amused experience!
【答案】1.去掉the
2.cleaned→clean
3.minute→minutes
4.so→but
5.final→finally
6.am→was
7.在referring后加to
8.late→later
9.they→we
10.amused→amusing
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。作者讲述自己第一次在美国看牙医的有趣经历。
【详解】1.考查冠词。句意:我记得我第一次在美国看牙医。名词visit前已有“my first”修饰,无需定冠词the。故删掉the。
2.考查不定式。句意:首先,她开始帮我刷牙。started后接的是不定式to do。故将cleaned改为clean。
3.考查名词的数。句意:几分钟后,她说:“闭上。”minute为可数名词,根据a few可知,此处需用复数形式。故将minute改为minutes。
4.考查连词。句意:然后我挪了挪,挨在她旁边,但是她摇了摇头,指着我的嘴。根据句意可知,“Then I moved closer, right next to her”与“she shook her head,”是转折关系。故将so改为but。
5.考查副词。句意:我终于明白了她想让我闭上嘴巴。修饰动词understood应使用副词。故将final改为finally。
6.考查时态。句意:我太尴尬了!作者在讲述自己以往的经历,根据文章的时态可知,这里应是用一般过去时。故将am改为was。
7.考查介词。句意:然后我了解了动词close[klo z]的意思是“关闭”和形容词close[klo s]的意思是“邻近的”的区别。短语refer to表示“指的是”,本句中缺少介词to。故在referring后加to。
8.考查副词。句意:六个月后,我去看同一位牙医。根据句意可知,此处表示“六个月之后”,应用副词later。故将late改为later。
9.考查人称代词。句意:这一次,当她说“闭上”这个词时,我们都笑了。根据句意可知,作者和牙医都笑了,因此应使用人称代词we。故将they改为we。
10.考查形容词。句意:多么有趣的经历啊!句中的experience指物,应使用ing结尾的形容词修饰。故将amused改为amusing。

Stay away from drugs
It is widely acknowledged that drugs are extremely dangerous, which harm us both mentally and physically. They are addictive enough to make people unable to give up. And drug-taking always causes a series of social problems and crimes, such as broken families, stealing, robbing and even killing.
To stay away from drugs, first we should not be curious about them and never try them. Once you get addicted, you can’t get rid of them easily. Also, we should keep a distance from strangers, and never get in contact with drug addicts or drug dealers.
I’m strongly against drugs and will cherish life forever, protecting myself from drugs. Only in this way shall I live a healthy and happy life.
