VIII. 阅读理解(共15小题,每小题2分,计30分)
A
In the 13th century, the famous Italian traveler, Marco Polo, traveled a long way to China. During his stay in China, he discovered that the Chinese used paper money. In western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. However, people in China began to use paper money in the 7th century.
A Chinese man called Cai Lun invented paper almost 2000 years ago. He made it from wood. He took the wood from trees and made it into paper. He then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book.
Now paper still comes from trees. We use a lot of paper every day. If we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. If there are no trees, there will be no paper. Every day, people throw away about 280 tons of paper in our city. It takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. Since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. If we don't, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper.
So how can we save paper We can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. We can choose drinks in bottles instead of those in paper packets. We also use cotton handkerchiefs and not paper ones. When we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. If the shop assistant does give us a paper bag, we can save it and reuse it later.
Everyone can help to save paper. If we all think carefully, we can help to protect trees. but we should do it now, before it is too late.
56. When Marco Polo was in China, he ________.
A. saw many wonderful things B. read a lot of books
C. discovered Cai Lun invented paper D. learned to make paper
57. The paper that people throw away every day in our city takes about ________ trees to make.
A. 48, 000 B. 1,700 C. 2,800 D. 2,000
58. Cai Lun made paper from ________.
A. cotton B. wood C. silk D. grass

Barditch High School decided to hold an All-School Reunion. Over 450 people came to the event. There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hands to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yates, the English teacher for fifty years, was one of them.
Some people began to talk in a low voice when Ms. Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to walk away. They wouldn’t like to listen to an old woman who had few kind words for her students and just made them work hard.
Then Ms. Yates started to speak, “I can’t tell you how happy I am to be here. I haven’t seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed you all the way. I have a large collection of newspaper photos of my students. Although I didn’t show up in person, I went to your college graduations, weddings and even the birth of your children, in my imagination.”
Ms. Yates stopped for a little while and started crying a bit. Then she continued, “I thought that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed.” “There is no greater comfort for a teacher than to see the result of his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all deep in my heart.”
There was a silence over the students for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. The clapping then turned into cheering. Lawyers, truck drivers, bankers and models were crying because of the words from a long forgotten English teacher in their hometown.
48. What activity was organized for the school reunion
A. Telling stories about the old days. B. A picnic on the school playground.
C. Sightseeing in the park. D. Students’ speeches in the old school building.
49. From what Ms. Yates said, we can learn that ________.
A. she went to all her students’ college graduations B. she gave her students advice on how to get a good job
C. she took pride in all her students D. she was interested in her students’ personal life.
51. What’s the best title for the passage
A. An interesting school reunion B. A strict but caring old school teacher
C. Some successful graduates D. An unforgettable speech

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meter. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water.
52. Lake Victoria is __________.
A. an important lake in Africa. B. the largest lake in the world.
B. the source of water, food and power for America. D. the only source for the Nile River.
53. What does the underlined sentence “It is shrinking” most probably mean
A. It is becoming larger. B. It is becoming more beautiful.
C. It is becoming smaller. D. It is becoming more useful.
54. The water level of Lake Victoria is now __________.
A. 2.5 meters B. 11.9 meters C. 14.4 meters D. 9.4 meters
55. According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria
A. People must build more power plants.
B. More sources of water must be found.
C. Every country should offer some money to Africa.
D. All the people living in the area should move to another place.
D
Would you pay thousands of dollars for a painting with a face so unclear that you’re not ever sure it’s a face Or a picture by an unknown artist What if the artist was a computer
A piece of artwork created mainly by a computer program has been sold at the price $432,500 ---about ten times more than people expected. This painting, named Edmond de Belamy, was created by artificial intelligence (AI) (人工智能). This means the computer now doesn’t just follow us, but makes some decisions and “thinks itself”.
15,000 real paintings were used by some French students to train the computer program with two parts. One part tries to create paintings that look real, while the other part decides if it is good. If the painting doesn’t look real enough, the first part will change its decisions until it comes up with a better work.
This is not the first AI artwork, just the first piece on sale. In fact, many people are not impressed with the painting. The work isn’t interesting or creative,” says Robbie Barrat, who helped create the painting but doesn’t 1ike the idea of selling it. He thinks it’s too simple and gives a bad idea of what real AI artists are doing. He adds that he created many pictures like it much earlier.
In some other people’s opinion, however, AI art is already very unusual. They hope it will be more common in the future.
Still, people who 1ook down upon AI art shouldn’t worry. Just as an AI artist, Theo Triantafyllidis says, he usually thinks of AI as a tool and not the artist. Even the best AI today is somewhere between a stupid child and a smart pet. It will grow up.
56. Edmond de Belamy was mainly created by ________.
A. a computer program B. some French students C. several unknown artists D. a man called Edmond
57. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about
A. What the computer program can do. B. Whom the computer program was trained by.
C. How French students train the computer program. D. Why the painting Edmond de Belamy was created.
58. The writer mentions Robbie Barrat in Paragraph 4 to show______.
A. many people are impressed with the painting B. lots of people took part in creating the painting
C. some people didn’t expect the painting to be sold D. most people hope Al art will be common in the future
59. What does the writer probably think of AI
A. it creates better art than humans. B. It has not been well-developed yet.
C. It will never be popular with art-lovers. D. It will always be a tool used by human artists.
60. The best title for the passage can be
A. AI technology and AI art B. The present and future of AI art
C. The first painting created of AI in the world D. The first computer -created artwork on sale
IX. 任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,计10分)
You wake up in the morning. A soft light turns on in your room. You go into the bathroom and the shower starts. After your shower, you go into the kitchen. Your favorite breakfast is already cooked, and it’s on the table, ready to eat. Now it’s time to go to work. It’s rainy. You live alone, but you find that your umbrella is already by the door.
How is all this possible Welcome to your future life!
Technology will allow homes in the future to be “smart”. Household machines will communicate with each other and with you. Your stove will tell you when your food is cooked and ready to eat. Fridges will suggest recipes (食谱) according to food materials you already have.
The technology is possible because of tiny information-storing devices (装置) called RFID chips. Future RFID chips will store information about all the things in your cupboards.
Are you tired of the color of your walls In a smart home, you won’t have to repaint them. The wall will actually be digital screens, like TV screens. The technology is called OLED, and it’s there already. OLED walls will become clear, like windows and display colors and patterns.
A computer network will connect these walls with everything else in your house. Called “ambient intelligence” (环境智能), this computer “brain” will control your whole house. It will suit your preferences. Your house will learn about your likes and dislikes. It will then use that know edge to control the environment. For example, it will set the heat in the house to your favorite temperature. It will also turn on the radio in the morning because you like to listen to the news then.
But how about your cooked breakfast and the umbrella you found by the door For those, you can thank your robot helper. Futurologists predict that many homes will have robots in the future. Robots already do many things. But scientists today are starting to build friendlier, more intelligent robot-ones that people will feel more comfortable having around in the house.
How soon will this smart home be a reality There’s a good chance it will be a part of your life in 25 or 30 years, perhaps sooner.

86. I learn English for knowing different cultures
Everybody has different ideas about learning, but I think learning English can give me a wide world to explore. By reading English novels and articles, I can have a better understanding of English literature and culture. Understanding the difference between Chinese and Western cultures can let me know Chinese culture more clearly. As our country is becoming stronger and more powerful, some foreigners want to know our culture and learn some traditional culture. If my English is good enough, I can tell Chinese stories to them in English and spread Chinese culture to the whole world.
