一、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，共30.0分）

In the field of educational technology, some apps might be getting too smart. There are more and more apps providing help for students.
Photomath
The new, seemingly magic app allows users to take pictures of a math problem, and then receive a step-by-step solution. A Photomath spokeswoman says educators have welcomed the app with positive reviews, but the app causes a lot of angry public discussion and disagreement. Why It is because students can use it to cheat when doing their math homework.
Price: Free
iHomework 2
Whether you're a high school student or a college student, there's one thing you've got for sure: a lot of schoolwork. iHomework 2 can help you keep track of all your homework. It can help you arrange it in a particular order according to types, or based on deadlines (截止日期).

WolframAlpha
WolframAlpha is similar to Photomath, but it focuses on older students studying high levels of math. The service also produces step-by-step solutions to advanced topics, making it a popular tool for college students.

Homework Helper
Chinese Internet search company Baidu has launched an app called Homework Helper with which students can get answers to homework. Users post a picture or type their homework questions onto online forums (论坛), and those who answer the questions can win e-coins that can be used to buy some products. The app has more than 800 million users, much to the concern of many parents who argue that the students spend less time thinking about challenging problems.

I was excited to take my rescue Beagle (比格犬) to the river the other day, as it's within walking distance of our new home. Having spent her first six years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.
I was growing increasingly impatient about all the stops her little Beagle nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked (舔) whatever was stuck to the road. These were all new discoveries for her, and she took her time studying them.
When I accepted that it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cell phone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then, for some reason, I heard the cicadas (蝉), and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that longed for the simple pleasures that had been replaced by technology.
I made a conscious decision to be present, and to enjoy the journey to the river Just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and the flowers, and the dirt and the air. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.
As we neared our destination, I realized something even more important: It didn't matter if we even reached the river. Why must there always be a destination Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she savored every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race and no finish line.
Now I'm not sure who rescued whom.

One of the most popular street food found in China is no doubt the barbecue (烧烤). A new series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food cooked over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat is an important part of people's nightlife.
Shown on June 20, the series has had more than 80 million clicks on the video site . To find the most popular barbecue stalls (摊位), the production team travelled to more than 500 locations in 30 cities across the country. Some viewers compare Chinese Barbecue to Midnight Diner, a Japanese TV series telling stories from late-night informal Japanese bars.
"I'm happy to hear this comparison because Midnight Diner is a good program, and we share the same topic—night food," Chinese Barbecue's director Chen Yingjie said. "However, in terms of the tone, they are quite different." He said that Midnight Diner focused more on food itself, though there was some conversation while people were eating. In contrast, the night food scene of Chinese people means joy and a more lively spirit. People eating these barbecue snacks develop a feeling of connection, which can be a cure for loneliness.
The barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from home-made food by mothers as that is a symbol of family and kinship. The barbecue is where you go to become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, the barbecue lets people relax with old friends and new friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.
The world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward the barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth produced by fire. "What we should do is to present the Chinese barbecue just the way it is because with its special ingredients (食材) ways of cooking, and more importantly, the special environment and people, the world will recognize it and might fall in love with it just as we do," said Chen.
8. What does Chinese Barbecue center on
A. The diverse street food.
B. The nightlife in large cities.
C. The barbecued foods across China.
D. The story of barbecue stall owners.
9. How does Chinese Barbecue differ from Midnight Diner
A. It focuses more on the diners. B. It has less conversation.
C. It shows the eating habits. D. It targets at the lonely.
10. What can be inferred about the barbecue from paragraph 4
A. It influences people's lifestyle.
B. It plays a role in people's relationship.
C. It is more delicious than home-made food.
D. It serves as formal business lunches sometimes.
11. Why did Chen Yingjie choose the barbecue as the topic of the series
A. To help the world understand China.
B. To research a special way of cooking.
C. To show the feature of Chinese food.
D. To introduce the history of the barbecue.
D
The world's first-ever floating(浮动的) farm is expected to open soon. The farm is located in Rotterdam, a port city about 50 miles away from Amsterdam. Built near the mouth of the river Meuse, the farm consists of three levels.
About 40 cows will be moved to the second level of the farm in November. The level above them will house greenhouses that grow grass and crops needed to feed the cows. Meanwhile, the bottom level will hold any necessary machines and packaging for the milk and yogurt. By December, the farm is expected to be producing more than 200 gallons of milk per day.
In addition to producing fresh milk and yogurt, the farm produces and sells fresh food that runs through a closed cycle and ends up at the customer. This causes almost no waste, bringing the reduction of food's travel from production to consumers.
The farm is the idea of Minke van Wingerden, a partner in the development company behind the project, Beladon. In 2012, she and her husband got caught in Hurricane Sandy during a business trip to New York City. With the storm preventing food delivery trucks from getting on the road, local people were unable to find fresh produce in stores.
The event pushed Wingerden and her partners to find a way to produce food closer to people's locations in order to avoid losses of supplies in the future. They eventually came up with the idea of floating farms, which would make use of otherwise unused space in the water and meanwhile shorten the distance between stores and farms.
After launching the Rotterdam project, Beladon will work on opening more floating farms. The company is designing floating chicken farms and floating vertical(垂直的) farming greenhouse. The company is in talks with another Dutch city for a second farm.
Wingerden and her husband also believe that new communities should be built with food access in mind. The area by the Port of Rotterdam, for example, is on track to be filled with residential space and offices in the next several years, and Wingerden said food production should be at "the heart of that community".
12. What do we know about the floating farm from the text
A. It is a farm without any grass or plants.
B. It can produce more milk than expected.
C. It has three levels with different purposes.
D. It is planned to be used in certain climates.
13. What is the advantage of the floating farm
A. It offers custom-made food.
B. It cuts the cost of shipping.
C. It plays a role in recycling wastes.
D. It acts as a shelter in a hurricane.
14. How did Minke van Wingerden get the idea of the floating farm
A. With the help of the scientists.
B. Through her personal experience.
C. By getting encouraged by the news.
D. By making research on the technology.
15. What can we infer about the floating farm from Wingerden's words
A. It makes it easier for people to get food.
B. It saves more residential and working space.
C. It helps people learn about food production.
D. It improves the attraction of new communities.

37. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
Randy Heiss was hiking in the large expanse of land behind his farm in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the border between the US and Mexico when he came across a curious site. A bright spot of red that was once a balloon was caught in the grass and to it, attached by a piece of string (细绳) was a note.
On the top was written just one word—Dayami—while inside, was a numbered list of things in Spanish. Even though he could not read Spanish, 60-year-old Randy smiled. Decades ago, as a child, he too used to do the same.
It was a list of birthday gifts she longed for. Randy lost his only son nine years ago. He wouldn't have grandchildren in the future, so he hoped he could do more for Dayami, like his granddaughter. He reasoned that the balloon had been sent from the nearest city across the border, Nogales, but there was still a problem even if his assumption was right—Nogales has a population of a quarter million people. How could he possibly continue from here
He tried the Internet hoping to see if anyone would respond to his post but drew a blank there. With Dayami's birthday drawing near and time running out, Randy then got in touch with the local radio station in Nogales, Mexico, Radio XENY. Really wanting to help after hearing about his need, the radio station played the scenario (方案) out on air and within 24 hours, called Randy back.
With the radio station setting the time for the two to meet the next morning, Randy took the day off from work and rushed to the local Walmart. With the help of his wife, he translated the items on the list—clothes, art supplies, a doll and doll set—and bought everything they could find and a few extra stuff as well after finding out that 8-year-old Dayami had a 4-year-old sister.
Paragraph 1:
The couple packaged all the gifts.

【解析】1. 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，空处引导定语从句，且在从句中作主语，指代先行词classical gardens，故用which/that。
2. 考查动词的时态。根据时间状语“during the 18th century”可知，此处描述过去发生的动作，应用一般过去时。故填reached。
3. 考查名词。根据句意及空前的of可知，此处应用名词作宾语，故填beauty。
4. 考查介词。be in good condition意为“处于良好的状态”，为固定搭配。故填in。
5. 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，且定语从句的先行词the Humble Administrator's Garden是第三人称单数，故填has。
6. 考查形容词的比较级。根据句意及空后的than可知，此处表示比较，应用形容词的比较级。故填larger。
7. 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，consider和the garden之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，故用动词的-ed形式作状语。置于句首，首字母应大写。故填Considered。
8. 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处描述的是客观情况，应用一般现在时，且the garden与divide之间是动宾关系，应用被动语态，且主语the garden是第三人称单数。故填is divided。
9. 考查副词。空处修饰形容词elegant，应用副词。故填extremely。
10. 考查连词。句意：苏州园林极其优雅，是一场感官的盛宴，既用作旅游景点，也用作住宅。both...and...表示“两者都……”，为固定用法。故填and。
37.【答案】 The couple packaged all the gifts. Then they drove across the country border to Mexico and arrived at the radio station, carrying a carload of presents for the two excited girls. The elders watched the young children happily tear the gifts off. Dayami's parents thanked them for their amazing act of kindness.
Although there is a 20-foot wall at the border between the US and Mexico which separates the two cities, Randy and his wife prove that love has no borders when it comes to a child having her birthday wishes fulfilled. The couple's effort paid off—they not only realized their wish to have a granddaughter to care about, but also gained friendship. The two families now keep in touch regularly and are friends for life.

I was excited to take my rescue Beagle (比格犬) to the river the other day, as it's within walking distance of our new home. Having spent her first six years in a cage, Georgie had never seen a body of water, and I wanted to get there before sunset to watch her experience it.
I was growing increasingly impatient about all the stops her little Beagle nose required. She inspected the grass, dirt, and trees, and licked (舔) whatever was stuck to the road. These were all new discoveries for her, and she took her time studying them.
When I accepted that it was fruitless to hurry her along, I whipped out my cell phone and began texting. I thought that I needed something to do while Georgie was slowing us down. Then, for some reason, I heard the cicadas (蝉), and I remembered that the sound of cicadas is my favorite sound in the world. That awakened something buried within me that longed for the simple pleasures that had been replaced by technology.
I made a conscious decision to be present, and to enjoy the journey to the river Just like Georgie. Now, I admired the flowers and the winding ivy on our path. I smelled the grass and the flowers, and the dirt and the air. I treasured each one equally, as if discovering them for the first time.
As we neared our destination, I realized something even more important: It didn't matter if we even reached the river. Why must there always be a destination Georgie had no idea that we had a destination. She was present for the journey, and she savored every bit of that sweet experience. There was no race and no finish line.
Now I'm not sure who rescued whom.

One of the most popular street food found in China is no doubt the barbecue (烧烤). A new series, called Chinese Barbecue, tells the story of this popular food cooked over hot coals on just about every street corner in cities and towns across the country. Barbecued meat is an important part of people's nightlife.
Shown on June 20, the series has had more than 80 million clicks on the video site . To find the most popular barbecue stalls (摊位), the production team travelled to more than 500 locations in 30 cities across the country. Some viewers compare Chinese Barbecue to Midnight Diner, a Japanese TV series telling stories from late-night informal Japanese bars.
"I'm happy to hear this comparison because Midnight Diner is a good program, and we share the same topic—night food," Chinese Barbecue's director Chen Yingjie said. "However, in terms of the tone, they are quite different." He said that Midnight Diner focused more on food itself, though there was some conversation while people were eating. In contrast, the night food scene of Chinese people means joy and a more lively spirit. People eating these barbecue snacks develop a feeling of connection, which can be a cure for loneliness.
The barbecue, regarded as the most ordinary and common night street snack, is different from home-made food by mothers as that is a symbol of family and kinship. The barbecue is where you go to become connected to people in society. And unlike official business lunches, during which people are rather reserved and polite, the barbecue lets people relax with old friends and new friends, leaving a lasting impression of friendship.
The world, as a whole, holds deep-rooted good feelings toward the barbecue, either for the taste or the warmth produced by fire. "What we should do is to present the Chinese barbecue just the way it is because with its special ingredients (食材) ways of cooking, and more importantly, the special environment and people, the world will recognize it and might fall in love with it just as we do," said Chen.
8. What does Chinese Barbecue center on
A. The diverse street food.
B. The nightlife in large cities.
C. The barbecued foods across China.
D. The story of barbecue stall owners.
9. How does Chinese Barbecue differ from Midnight Diner
A. It focuses more on the diners. B. It has less conversation.
C. It shows the eating habits. D. It targets at the lonely.
10. What can be inferred about the barbecue from paragraph 4
A. It influences people's lifestyle.
B. It plays a role in people's relationship.
C. It is more delicious than home-made food.
D. It serves as formal business lunches sometimes.
11. Why did Chen Yingjie choose the barbecue as the topic of the series
A. To help the world understand China.
B. To research a special way of cooking.
C. To show the feature of Chinese food.
D. To introduce the history of the barbecue.
D
The world's first-ever floating(浮动的) farm is expected to open soon. The farm is located in Rotterdam, a port city about 50 miles away from Amsterdam. Built near the mouth of the river Meuse, the farm consists of three levels.
About 40 cows will be moved to the second level of the farm in November. The level above them will house greenhouses that grow grass and crops needed to feed the cows. Meanwhile, the bottom level will hold any necessary machines and packaging for the milk and yogurt. By December, the farm is expected to be producing more than 200 gallons of milk per day.
In addition to producing fresh milk and yogurt, the farm produces and sells fresh food that runs through a closed cycle and ends up at the customer. This causes almost no waste, bringing the reduction of food's travel from production to consumers.
The farm is the idea of Minke van Wingerden, a partner in the development company behind the project, Beladon. In 2012, she and her husband got caught in Hurricane Sandy during a business trip to New York City. With the storm preventing food delivery trucks from getting on the road, local people were unable to find fresh produce in stores.
The event pushed Wingerden and her partners to find a way to produce food closer to people's locations in order to avoid losses of supplies in the future. They eventually came up with the idea of floating farms, which would make use of otherwise unused space in the water and meanwhile shorten the distance between stores and farms.
After launching the Rotterdam project, Beladon will work on opening more floating farms. The company is designing floating chicken farms and floating vertical(垂直的) farming greenhouse. The company is in talks with another Dutch city for a second farm.
Wingerden and her husband also believe that new communities should be built with food access in mind. The area by the Port of Rotterdam, for example, is on track to be filled with residential space and offices in the next several years, and Wingerden said food production should be at "the heart of that community".
12. What do we know about the floating farm from the text
A. It is a farm without any grass or plants.
B. It can produce more milk than expected.
C. It has three levels with different purposes.
D. It is planned to be used in certain climates.
13. What is the advantage of the floating farm
A. It offers custom-made food.
B. It cuts the cost of shipping.
C. It plays a role in recycling wastes.
D. It acts as a shelter in a hurricane.
14. How did Minke van Wingerden get the idea of the floating farm
A. With the help of the scientists.
B. Through her personal experience.
C. By getting encouraged by the news.
D. By making research on the technology.
15. What can we infer about the floating farm from Wingerden's words
A. It makes it easier for people to get food.
B. It saves more residential and working space.
C. It helps people learn about food production.
D. It improves the attraction of new communities.

Randy Heiss was hiking in the large expanse of land behind his farm in Patagonia, Arizona, a town near the border between the US and Mexico when he came across a curious site. A bright spot of red that was once a balloon was caught in the grass and to it, attached by a piece of string (细绳) was a note.
On the top was written just one word—Dayami—while inside, was a numbered list of things in Spanish. Even though he could not read Spanish, 60-year-old Randy smiled. Decades ago, as a child, he too used to do the same.
It was a list of birthday gifts she longed for. Randy lost his only son nine years ago. He wouldn't have grandchildren in the future, so he hoped he could do more for Dayami, like his granddaughter. He reasoned that the balloon had been sent from the nearest city across the border, Nogales, but there was still a problem even if his assumption was right—Nogales has a population of a quarter million people. How could he possibly continue from here
He tried the Internet hoping to see if anyone would respond to his post but drew a blank there. With Dayami's birthday drawing near and time running out, Randy then got in touch with the local radio station in Nogales, Mexico, Radio XENY. Really wanting to help after hearing about his need, the radio station played the scenario (方案) out on air and within 24 hours, called Randy back.
With the radio station setting the time for the two to meet the next morning, Randy took the day off from work and rushed to the local Walmart. With the help of his wife, he translated the items on the list—clothes, art supplies, a doll and doll set—and bought everything they could find and a few extra stuff as well after finding out that 8-year-old Dayami had a 4-year-old sister.
Paragraph 1:
The couple packaged all the gifts.

37.【答案】 The couple packaged all the gifts. Then they drove across the country border to Mexico and arrived at the radio station, carrying a carload of presents for the two excited girls.

Although there is a 20-foot wall at the border between the US and Mexico which separates the two cities, Randy and his wife prove that love has no borders when it comes to a child having her birthday wishes fulfilled. The couple's effort paid off—they not only realized their wish to have a granddaughter to care about, but also gained friendship.
