Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class at The University of Michigan in 1940.Jerome Karle was in his first year of doctoral work，and Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate（大学本科生），and they were laboratory partners. However，they didn’t get along well at first.
Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past，"I walked into the physical chemistry laboratory and there was a young man at the desk next to mine with his equipment all set up running his experiment didn’t think I was very polite about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn’t like that. So we didn't talk to each other for a while.
Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in. chemistry. They married in 1942.By 1946，both of the Karles had earned doctorates in lyrical chemistry，and，after a period of time at The University of Chicago working on the Manhattan Project，they moved to Washington dc to join the United States Naval Research Laboratory.
Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography（晶体学）:Jerome focused on developing equations（方程式）that could determine how atoms（原子）were arranged inside complex molecules while Isabella ran practical experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together，they created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular structures（分子结构），which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.
Jerome Karle was awarded the Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1985.Although he was disappointed that the committee had ignored Isabella’s contribution to that work she was unfazed. At that point，she had already won more awards and prize money for her experimental work than he had.
1. What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karle
A. She blamed him for his being late.
B. She set up all his equipment for him.
C. She asked him a question impolitely.
D. She observed his experiment silently.
2. What made Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski become connected
A. Their common interest in chemist.
B. Their wonderful marriage since 1940.
C. Their pleasant first talk in a laboratory.
D. Their successful cooperation in courses.
3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly intended to show
A. The Karles’ encouraging further study.
B. The Karles’ good teamwork in science.
C. How the Karles worked with others.
D. Why the Karles won the Nobel Prize.
4. Which of the following best explains the underlined word" unfazed" in the last paragraph

“For all the technological wonders of modern medicine，from gene editing to fetal（胎儿的）surgery，health care-with its fax machines and（写字夹板）-is often stubbornly old-fashioned. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the revolution of artificial intelligence（AI）.And it should happen earlier，”argues Eric Topol，a heart doctor keen on digital medicine.
Dr. Topol’s vision of medicine's future is optimistic. He thinks AI will be particularly useful for repetitive tasks where errors arise easily，such as selecting images，examining heart traces for abnormal symptoms or recording doctors words into patient records. In short，AI is set to save time，lives and money.
Much of this is imaginary--but Al is already defeating people in a variety of narrow jobs for which it has been trained. Eventually it may be able to diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. Even then，Dr. Topol thinks，humans would watch over the rules，rather than being replaced by them.
The author’s fear is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly line（流水线）culture of modern medicine，If it awards a “gift of time” to doctors he argues that this additional benefit should be used to extend the time of consultations，rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently The Hippocratic Oath holds that there is an art as well as a science to medicine，and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more important than the surgeon’s knife or the chemist's drug”. That is not just a cliché: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to do better. As Dr. Topol says，it is hard to imagine that a robot could really replace a human doctor Yet as the demand for health care goes beyond the supply of human carers, the future may involve consultations on smart phones and measurement monitored by chat robots. The considerately warmed stethoscope（听诊器）place gently on a patients back，may become history.
1. According to the author health care has been generally considered
A. to bring out many technological wonders.
B. to boost the sales of fax machines and clipboards.
C. to be out of date and fail to keep up with modern times.
D. to constantly catch up with new technological.
Progress
2. AI is set to save time, lives and money because it can _____.
A. repeat doctors’ words and instructions
B. correct doctors’ errors and mistakes
C. select doctors according to patients' demands
D. replace doctors’ tasks in certain fields
3. The underlined word “cliché” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. an idea that is so often used that it becomes uninteresting
B. an idea that is so interesting that it is often used
C. an effective rule that applies to medicine and doctors
D. a benefit to both doctors and patients
4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.AI will completely replace the jobs of doctors
B. doctors' sympathy and understanding should not be ignored
C. the application of AI will discourage the assembly line culture
D. Al will bring warmth, sympathy and understanding to patients
（四）
D
A new officer of the Huntington Park Police patrols(巡逻) local parks 24 hours a day seven days a week. He doesn’t need rest, coffee breaks, a salary or medical insurance. and that is because it is a Robocop.
The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings. Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees, it also has a distress button which is located here, so if somebody needs assistance or wants to contact the communication center, he or she can do it by way of that distress button. There are people that are monitoring on the other end.
This newest police employee is self-charging. It's easy to program it and make changes to the software if necessary. Its maintenance(维护) costs are roughly 75 thousand dollars a year. It travels the entire park. It is a programmed path, but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.
The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen cars. It can also help locate a lost iPhone because it is able to determine a smart phones MAC address. The police can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it out.
The Robocop can’t replace its human handlers The whole goal is to give the police more time to do things machines can’t do. The police have been having some concerns about the safety of parks and want an extra set of eyes that will help patrol a 24/7. The Robocop's creators believe this model known as K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking lots, parks and airports. So far, it seems to be working out just fine.
1. What is the distress button used to do
A. Locate the Robocop
B. Serve as an alarm device.
C. Communicate with visitors.
D. Monitor the neighbourhood.
2. Which of the following can best describe the Robocop
A. Helpful but dangerous.
B. Intelligent but inexpensive.
C. Tireless and multifunctional.
D. Fashionable and good-looking.
3. Why does the Robocop record the license plates of passing cars
A. To direct traffic.
B. To build a database.
C. To prevent accidents.
D. To find lost cars.
4. What can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph
A. It has limitation in use.
B. It has been widely used.
C. Its creators need more support.
D. Its security is still under test.

When I was 9 years old, I used to cut grass for Mrs. Long. The elderly lady paid me very little, for she hadn’t much money. But she did promise me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be The boys I played with had baseball gloves，bicycles and ice skates，and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that Mrs. Long intended to choose from them.
“It would hardly be baseball gloves.” I reasoned with myself. “A woman like Mrs. Long wouldn’t know much about baseball.” Since she was old and weak，I also ruled out the bicycle. How could she handle such a large item？
On my last Saturday at work，Mrs. Long said, “At Christmas you come to the door and collect the present.” These words clinched（确定）my guess. Since she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself，unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates.
I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates and the excitement they brought me. As the cold days of November arrived and ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice. Get away from that ice a man shouted. It's not strong enough yet.
As Christmas approached it was with difficulty that I restrained (抑制) myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On the 2lst day of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had ice skates were able to use them. My longing to possess mine became overpowering.
So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at Mrs. Longs door. “I’ve been waiting for you,” she said with a smile.
Paragraph 1:
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me._______________________ ____________________________________________________________________

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me. She said to me, “Thanks for cutting grass for me. Because I didn’t have much money, I didn’t pay you money. I have promised to give you a present, so it is time for you to get your present.” I was so excited that I wanted to open it right now, but Mrs. Long stopped me and said, “You can't open it until Christmas morning. Can you make it ” “Of course, Mrs. Long,” I replied. Paragraph 2:
On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package . To my excitement, it was a brand new pair of ice skates which I was eager for. I couldn’t control myself and went to the frozen pond. I skated on the ice with the other people. As I skated on the ice, I thought of Mrs. Long. How kind she was to send me such a present! She must have observed me for a long time and knew what I wanted so much. It was a better present than much money.

Jerome Karle and Isabella Lugoski met in their first physical chemistry class at The University of Michigan in 1940.Jerome Karle was in his first year of doctoral work，and Isabella Lugoski was in her last year as an undergraduate（大学本科生），and they were laboratory partners. However，they didn’t get along well at first.
Isabella Lugoski looked back on the past，"I walked into the physical chemistry laboratory and there was a young man at the desk next to mine with his equipment all set up running his experiment didn’t think I was very polite about my question. I asked him how he got there early and had everything all set up. He didn’t like that. So we didn't talk to each other for a while.
Their relationship got going as they competed for the top grade in that course and they started to build connection because both of them were interested in. chemistry. They married in 1942.By 1946，both of the Karles had earned doctorates in lyrical chemistry，and，after a period of time at The University of Chicago working on the Manhattan Project，they moved to Washington dc to join the United States Naval Research Laboratory.
Each specialized in a different aspect of X-ray crystallography（晶体学）:Jerome focused on developing equations（方程式）that could determine how atoms（原子）were arranged inside complex molecules while Isabella ran practical experiments to test how well the equations worked. Working together，they created what is now called the direct method for determining molecular structures（分子结构），which has allowed scientists to effectively study and copy complex organic molecules to continue further study.
Jerome Karle was awarded the Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1985.Although he was disappointed that the committee had ignored Isabella’s contribution to that work she was unfazed. At that point，she had already won more awards and prize money for her experimental work than he had.
1. What did Isabella Lugoski do when she first met Jerome Karle

B. The Karles’ good teamwork in science.
C. How the Karles worked with others.
D. Why the Karles won the Nobel Prize.

“For all the technological wonders of modern medicine，from gene editing to fetal（胎儿的）surgery，health care-with its fax machines and（写字夹板）-is often stubbornly old-fashioned. This outdated era is slowly drawing to a close as the industry catches up with the revolution of artificial intelligence（AI）.And it should happen earlier，”argues Eric Topol，a heart doctor keen on digital medicine.
Dr. Topol’s vision of medicine's future is optimistic. He thinks AI will be particularly useful for repetitive tasks where errors arise easily，such as selecting images，examining heart traces for abnormal symptoms or recording doctors words into patient records. In short，AI is set to save time，lives and money.
Much of this is imaginary--but Al is already defeating people in a variety of narrow jobs for which it has been trained. Eventually it may be able to diagnose and treat a wider range of diseases. Even then，Dr. Topol thinks，humans would watch over the rules，rather than being replaced by them.
The author’s fear is that AI will be used to deepen the assembly line（流水线）culture of modern medicine，If it awards a “gift of time” to doctors he argues that this additional benefit should be used to extend the time of consultations，rather than simply speeding through them more efficiently The Hippocratic Oath holds that there is an art as well as a science to medicine，and that “warmth, sympathy and understanding may be more important than the surgeon’s knife or the chemist's drug”. That is not just a cliché: the patients of sympathetic physicians have been shown to do better. As Dr. Topol says，it is hard to imagine that a robot could really replace a human doctor Yet as the demand for health care goes beyond the supply of human carers, the future may involve consultations on smart phones and measurement monitored by chat robots. The considerately warmed stethoscope（听诊器）place gently on a patients back，may become history.
1. According to the author health care has been generally considered
A. to bring out many technological wonders.
B. to boost the sales of fax machines and clipboards.
C. to be out of date and fail to keep up with modern times.
D. to constantly catch up with new technological.
Progress
2. AI is set to save time, lives and money because it can _____.
A. repeat doctors’ words and instructions
B. correct doctors’ errors and mistakes
C. select doctors according to patients' demands
D. replace doctors’ tasks in certain fields
3. The underlined word “cliché” is closest in meaning to ______.
A. an idea that is so often used that it becomes uninteresting
B. an idea that is so interesting that it is often used
C. an effective rule that applies to medicine and doctors
D. a benefit to both doctors and patients
4. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
A.AI will completely replace the jobs of doctors
B. doctors' sympathy and understanding should not be ignored
C. the application of AI will discourage the assembly line culture
D. Al will bring warmth, sympathy and understanding to patients

D
A new officer of the Huntington Park Police patrols(巡逻) local parks 24 hours a day seven days a week. He doesn’t need rest, coffee breaks, a salary or medical insurance. and that is because it is a Robocop.
The main function of the Robocop is to scan and film the surroundings. Besides cameras with night vision that report 360 degrees, it also has a distress button which is located here, so if somebody needs assistance or wants to contact the communication center, he or she can do it by way of that distress button. There are people that are monitoring on the other end.
This newest police employee is self-charging. It's easy to program it and make changes to the software if necessary. Its maintenance(维护) costs are roughly 75 thousand dollars a year. It travels the entire park. It is a programmed path, but the police are able to change the path and adapt it.
The Robocop can record the license plates (车牌) of passing cars and check them against an online database of stolen cars. It can also help locate a lost iPhone because it is able to determine a smart phones MAC address. The police can see from the robot if something wrong happens and then come and figure it out.
The Robocop can’t replace its human handlers The whole goal is to give the police more time to do things machines can’t do. The police have been having some concerns about the safety of parks and want an extra set of eyes that will help patrol a 24/7. The Robocop's creators believe this model known as K5 is best used for providing security at public places like hospitals, parking lots, parks and airports. So far, it seems to be working out just fine.
1. What is the distress button used to do
A. Locate the Robocop
B. Serve as an alarm device.
C. Communicate with visitors.
D. Monitor the neighbourhood.
2. Which of the following can best describe the Robocop
A. Helpful but dangerous.
B. Intelligent but inexpensive.
C. Tireless and multifunctional.
D. Fashionable and good-looking.
3. Why does the Robocop record the license plates of passing cars
A. To direct traffic.
B. To build a database.
C. To prevent accidents.
D. To find lost cars.
4. What can we infer about the Robocop in the last paragraph
A. It has limitation in use.
B. It has been widely used.
C. Its creators need more support.
D. Its security is still under test.

When I was 9 years old, I used to cut grass for Mrs. Long. The elderly lady paid me very little, for she hadn’t much money. But she did promise me, “When Christmas comes, I shall have a present for you.” I spent much time wondering what it would be The boys I played with had baseball gloves，bicycles and ice skates，and I was so eager to acquire any one of these that I convinced myself that Mrs. Long intended to choose from them.
“It would hardly be baseball gloves.” I reasoned with myself. “A woman like Mrs. Long wouldn’t know much about baseball.” Since she was old and weak，I also ruled out the bicycle. How could she handle such a large item？
On my last Saturday at work，Mrs. Long said, “At Christmas you come to the door and collect the present.” These words clinched（确定）my guess. Since she was going to have the present in her house and handle it herself，unquestionably she was giving me a pair of ice skates.
I became so convinced of this that I could imagine myself upon the skates and the excitement they brought me. As the cold days of November arrived and ice began to form on the ponds, I began to try my luck on the ice. Get away from that ice a man shouted. It's not strong enough yet.
As Christmas approached it was with difficulty that I restrained (抑制) myself from reporting to Mrs. Long and demanding my present. On the 2lst day of December, icy weather froze all the ponds so that boys who already had ice skates were able to use them. My longing to possess mine became overpowering.
So the next day I could control myself no longer and presented myself at Mrs. Longs door. “I’ve been waiting for you,” she said with a smile.

(1) to quit【解题思路】考查非谓语动词。句意：飞机制造商空中客车公司宣布，计划停止生产其著名的A380飞机。此处用不定式作后置定语修饰 plans，故填 to quit。
(2)has been【解题思路】考查时态和语态。句意：A380是世界上最大的客机，已经在役12年了。根据时间状语for12 years以及前面的时态可知，应使用现在完成时。故用 has been。
(3) shifts【解题思路】考查名词复数。句意：然而，乘客需求的变化意味着大型四引擎客机的时代已经结束。shift作“转变”讲时为可数名词，在此应用复数。
(4) production【解题思路】考查名词。句意：空客决定停止生产541座的A380客机。设空处在句中作stop的宾语，故用名词形式。
(5)as/so【解题思路】考查固定搭配。分析句子可知，此处为 not so/as as.结构。
(6) necessarily【解题思路】考查副词。设空处修饰谓语，应用副词形式。
(7)flew【解题思路】考查时态。句意：A380于2005年4月首次飞行。句子中有明显表示过去的时间状语，谓语动词应用一般过去时。
(8)the【解题思路】考查冠词。the number of.意为“………的数量”。
(9)where【解题思路】考查名词性从句。设空处引导宾语从句，作介词to的宾语，表示地点，故用 where。
(10) disappointed【解题思路】考查形容词。分析句子可知，此处应用形容词，根据句意可知，设空处修饰人，故用 disappointed。

答案：
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
She set me in a chair and handed a package to me. She said to me, “Thanks for cutting grass for me. Because I didn’t have much money, I didn’t pay you money. I have promised to give you a present, so it is time for you to get your present.” I was so excited that I wanted to open it right now, but Mrs. Long stopped me and said, “You can't open it until Christmas morning. Can you make it ” “Of course, Mrs. Long,” I replied. Paragraph 2:
On Christmas morning, I could not wait to open the package . To my excitement, it was a brand new pair of ice skates which I was eager for. I couldn’t control myself and went to the frozen pond. I skated on the ice with the other people. As I skated on the ice, I thought of Mrs. Long. How kind she was to send me such a present! She must have observed me for a long time and knew what I wanted so much. It was a better present than much money.
