A
In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation in the way our food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”; it's not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun, medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure they're still fresh when they reach their final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry, especially as the world's population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth of the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
1.What is the main idea of the text
A.Voice machines help plants speak up.
B.Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C.IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.
D.Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
2.How do sensors attached to plants work
A.By recording farmers harvesting crops.
B.By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C.By analyzing information to preserve crops.
D.By passing information to a control system.
3.What can the IoT system help according to Paragraph 4
A.Expand the output of crops. B.Match supply with demand.
C.Determine the needs of farmers. D.Move restaurants onto farms.
4.What is the author's attitude towards the future of vertical farming
A.Negative.　　B.Indifferent. C.Optimistic.　　D.Doubtful.
B
In the near future, daily newspapers and monthly magazines will probably disappear. Electronic media(媒体) can provide the same information faster and cheaper. The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.
You’ll browse the computer newspapers or magazines just like turning on TV. An electronic voice will tell you stories about the latest events. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story A simple touch makes the whole text appear.
There are the predictions from the experts working on the newspapers of the future. Imagined as part of home media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers and magazines would unite printed and broadcast news, offering information and analysing video images of news events.
The continuing loss of readers will lead to a small number of advertisements in newspapers. It makes no sense to spend millions of dollars to print ads.
With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be not until the present journalists(新闻工作者), who aren’t used to it, die off that the newspaper industry is not considered as an industry any longer. Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.
1.Computer newspapers and magazines have all the advantages EXCEPT that 　　　　.
A.you can choose the kind of voice you like to hear
B.they are more expensive than traditional ones
C.you can get more information from them easily
D.you can easily store information for the future use
2.The underlined word “resistance” in the fifth paragraph probably means “　　　　”.
A.a thought which directs your action
B.an idea which is different from others
C.a force that helps you do something
D.a force that acts to stop something happening
3.We can infer from the passage that 　　　　.
A.new things will replace the old ones in the future
B.traditional newspapers and magazines will disappear soon
C.all technological developments are very important
D.traditional newspapers and magazines will be more popular
4.The author writes the article to 　　　　.
A.tell readers what newspapers and magazines are like in the future
B.let people know the great development of the journalism
C.prove newspapers and magazines are not welcomed any more
D.say traditional newspapers and magazines are better than before
三.七选五
Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things
For most high school students, free periods (课,节) are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework.　1　. This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
　2　. Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one. We will experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don't try it.
In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement;so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). 　3　. Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
　4　! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. 　5　.
A.Our school offers many classes
B.We should find out what we are good at
C.I've avoided anything related to art since then
D.Instead, many are on their phones and talking
E.I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F.Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G.The classes we choose can influence us in the future

[语篇解读]　本文为说明文,主要以垂直农场为例介绍了在不久的将来,物联网将推动粮食种植方式的巨大变革。
1.D　主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation in the way our food is grown.”以及第二段第一句“Take vertical farms for example.”可知,本文主要以垂直农场为例,介绍了在不久的将来,物联网将推动粮食种植方式的巨大变革。故选D。选项B没有突出IoT,故排除。
2.D　细节理解题。根据第三段第二句中的“small sensors in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and nutrition are needed to grow the healthiest crops”可知,传感器将培育出最健康的农作物所需要的水、光和营养的量等信息传递给控制系统。故选D。
3.B　细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems, including databases that track local demand.”可知,垂直农场将与其他网络和信息系统相连,包括追踪当地需求的数据库,再结合后面的例子可知,物联网系统有助于使供应与需求相匹配。故选B。
4.C　推理判断题。根据最后一段第一、二句“Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for the industry...”可知,作者对垂直农场的未来持乐观态度。故选C。
[语篇解读]　本文为说明文。对于大多数高中生来说,空闲时间是没用的,作者认为应该用额外的时间来选修一些课程,因为如果学生们高中不去尝试,那么他们永远不会知道是否对某一学科感兴趣或有天赋。
1.D　根据上句“From what I have seen, few do homework.”可知,就作者所见而言,很少有人做家庭作业。下文提到“这使得那些真正想做作业的学生不可能完成任何作业”。选项D“相反,许多人都在打电话和聊天”符合上下文语境。故选D。
2.A　根据后句“Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one. ”可知,现在是我们学生选择一个适合自己的课程的时候了。由此可知,空处应表达:学校提供了许多的课程。故选A。
3.E　根据后句“Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.”可知,现在“我”很确定“我”不想成为一名艺术家。由此可知,作者并没有什么艺术方面的能力。故选E。
4.F　根据后句“College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.”可知,大学是我们应该专注于某一特定专业的时候,而高中是我们必须弄清楚它的时候。由此可知,高中时期应当弄清楚自己喜欢的特定专业,所以要大胆走出舒适区,尝试新的事物。这也与文章的标题相呼应。故选F。
5.G　结合上句“So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college.”可知,利用我们额外的时间来弄清楚我们在大学想做什么。由此可知,本句承接上文说明选择的课程对自我发展的影响。故G选项“我们选择的课程可以影响我们的未来”符合上下文语境。故选G。
本文为记叙文。叙述了一个人带着一条狗开车去加油却身陷大雪之中,积雪深厚而无法离开,无奈只能靠现有的条件维持生存,直到5天之后被人发现才终于获救。
1.C　根据下文中多次出现的his car可知,此处应选C。truck卡车;bus公交车;car汽车;boat船。
2.B　根据下文中“he was trapped in the snow”可知,此处指车陷在了雪里,get stuck意为“卡住”。故选B。
3.A　此处与下文的woke up对应,应指他睡着了。fall asleep睡着;take risks冒险;try out尝试;keep on坚持。故选A。
4.D　根据下文内容可知,他已经不能从车里出来了,可以推断出雪下得更多了,应用even修饰。故选D。
5.D　根据下文内容可知,雪太深了,应该是很难走出去。put out扑灭;call out叫喊;break out爆发;walk out走出去。故选D。
6.A　根据内容可知,雪太深了,想要在上面步行是比较困难的。difficult困难的;boring无聊的;important重要的;possible可能的。故选A。
7.A　根据内容可知,Taylor发现在雪中走路很困难,应该会选择回到车里再想办法。return返回;point指向;tend趋向;appeal吸引。故选A。
8.C　根据内容可知,Taylor从周日出去,到周三已经几天没有回去了,自然会被人认为是失踪了。missing失踪的。故选C。
9.B　根据内容可知after符合语境。until直到;after在……之后;before在……之前;unless除非。故选B项。
10.C　根据内容可知,Taylor被困在严寒大雪中肯定要保暖。clean干净的;hot热的;warm温暖的;mild温和的。故选C。
11.B　既然塔可酱是作为食物,显然是被吃掉了。buy购买;eat吃;make制作;borrow借用。故选B。
12.A　根据内容可知,滑雪者报告警方是因为看到了Taylor。see看见;save拯救;know知道;pay付钱。故选A。
13.B　前文提到车辆被困在雪里,这里应该指要把车从雪里挖出来。send out发送;dig out挖出来;pick out挑出;tick out滴答滴答地发出。故选B。

1.have/has seen　考查时态。由The past thirty years可知,本句应用现在完成时。这里的三十年如果看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数;如果侧重每一年的话,谓语动词就用复数。因此这里可以填have seen或has seen。
2.connected　考查非谓语动词。句中computers和connect是被动关系,应使用其过去分词作computers的后置定语。
3.which　考查定语从句的关系词。分析句子结构可知,逗号后面是非限制性定语从句,先行词为worries,指物,因此用关系代词which。
4.us　考查人称代词。句意:在未来,恐怖分子可能会攻击世界上的计算机,从而给我们人类带来混乱。cause sth. for sb. 意为“给某人造成……”,for是介词,后接人称代词的宾格。
5.the　考查固定用法。句意:另一方面,其他的许多人对互联网的未来充满乐观。on the other hand是固定搭配,意为“另一方面”,用于引出相对照的另一种观点。
6.entertainment　考查名词。句意:我们将从网络上获得娱乐,电视很可能会消失。have是动词,名词在其后作宾语。entertain是动词,它的名词是entertainment。故填entertainment。
7.disappear　考查谓语动词。前文提到人们可以在网上购物和娱乐。因此持有这种观点的人认为电视可能会“消失”。will后接动词原形。故填disappear。
8.in　考查介词。一些专家说,虚拟现实使我们感觉自己处于一个真实的环境中。in a real situation意为“在真实的环境下”。故填in。
9.Personally　考查副词。此处应用副词personally作状语,意为“就我个人来说”,相当于in my personal opinion,用于表达个人的意见,通常位于句首。
10.and　考查并列连词。空前的work in virtual offices, shop in virtual supermarkets和even study in virtual schools是并列谓语,故用and连接。
Ⅱ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着科技的发展,传统的报纸和杂志在逐渐退出历史舞台,电子媒体正在迅速发展,但是要取代传统的报纸和杂志还有很长的路要走。
1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段 “The Internet, together with laptops and mobile phones, makes it possible that almost everyone can at any time and in almost any place get some news for free or for few fees.”可知因特网,连同笔记本电脑和手机,使得几乎每个人都可以在任何时候、任何地方获得一些免费或少量付费的新闻。由此可见,B项是错误的,故选B。
2.D　词义猜测题。根据最后一段“With the development of technology, more and more electronic media have been created until now, but replacing the traditional newspapers and magazines has a long way to go, because the resistance to computer newspapers and magazines from journalism(新闻业) may be much stronger.”可知随着技术的发展,到目前为止,越来越多的电子媒体被创造出来,但是取代传统的报纸和杂志还有很长的路要走,因为传统新闻业对计算机报纸和杂志的抵制可能要强烈得多。由此可见,D项符合语境,故选D。
3.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Anyway, technology is making the traditional newspapers and magazines disappear gradually.”可知,无论如何,技术正在使传统的报纸和杂志逐渐消失。由此可见,新事物将来终究会取代旧事物,故选A。
4.B　推理判断题。根据整篇文章可知,本文主要介绍了随着科技的发展,传统的报纸和杂志在逐渐退出历史舞台,电子媒体正在迅速发展,但是要取代传统的报刊和杂志还有很长的路要走。由此可见B项“让人们知道新闻业的伟大发展”符合题意,故选B。
Nowadays, people tend to stare at their mobile phones almost everywhere—in subways, restaurants, lifts, supermarkets, everywhere. While it is normal to check your phone occasionally, if you are one of those people who just can’t stop using their phone, then you could be suffering from mobile phone addiction.
We cannot ignore the mobile phone’s negative influences. Many people waste too much time using their phones every day. Their spare time is spent on things like mobile phone games, watching Internet videos, and checking social media apps. Such constant use can lead to physical health problems like neck pain and eye disease. Relationship problems can also occur due to “phubbing”—ignoring the people around you in favour of your phone.
It is high time that people put their phones aside and raised their heads. Pay more attention to others and have more face-to-face communication. What’s more, do more exercise, which is much more beneficial than time spent on a phone. In a word, only when we learn to limit our phone use can we live a happy life.
