You’ll find that the computers are increasingly used as a research tool. The library computers are permanently online. Having found what you need, you’ll find you can readily save texts on your personal computer space to print off when you need them.Naturally we do still have a full range of classic reference books for you to use. But you can just keep them for a certain time so that they will not disappear from the shelves for too long.

Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22, he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap (废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said, ‘Make something with this.’ And he did. It was wonderful.”
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him—keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said “and then to make very large sculptures.”
24. What is Phiri known for
A. Serving his community. B. Collecting works of art.
C. Being the king of Zambia. D. Turning trash into treasure.
25. What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2
A. He had an unhappy childhood. B. He paid for his primary school.
C. He had to support his grandfather. D. He missed school to do part-time jobs.
26. How does Phiri feel about his future
A. Uncertain. B. Confident.
C. Depressed. D. Satisfied.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. A Successful Path of Art. B. The Junk-art King of Zambia.
C. A Young Man’s Wildest Dream. D. The Modern Junk Works of Art.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. B 27. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了非洲赞比亚的废品艺术之王Frederick Phiri的人生事迹，激励读者为了自己的梦想而努力。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22, he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap metal found in his community.( Frederick Phiri是赞比亚的垃圾艺术之王:在他22岁的时候，他就开始在国际上享有声誉，因为他能够用在他的社区里发现的废金属制作复杂而优雅的雕塑。)”可知，他是以利用废弃金属制作精美艺术品而出名的。故选D项。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段内容“Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.( 哈里里的父亲在他开始上小学的时候就去世了。然后他的母亲抛弃了他，他不得不和他的祖父住在一起。他的祖父供他上小学，但当他上中学时，他不得不找各种工作来支付学费。然而，即使在学校，他总是在课堂上画画和做东西。)”可知，小学时父亲去世，之后母亲遗弃了他，他只能和祖父生活在一起，中学后开始打工支付学费，因此可以推知，他的童年并不快乐。故选A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段末句以及末尾段内容：The community has recognized his talents.“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said “and then to make very large sculptures.”(社区已经认识到了他的才能。“我的梦想是挣到足够的钱在卢萨卡的Evelyn Hone学院学习艺术，并以此谋生，”Phiri说，“然后制作非常大的雕塑。)可推知，他的才能得到认可，他对未来充满信心。故选B项。
【27题详解】
主旨大意题。文章主要围绕Frederick Phiri这位赞比亚的废品艺术之王做介绍，描述了他的生平和艺术才能，以及当下他对未来的展望。选项B“The Junk-art King of Zambia.”贴合主题，概括了主旨大意，可作最佳标题。故选B项。

Whom should you marry Where should you live How should you spend your time For centuries, people have relied on their gut instincts (直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms (算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on, and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource (外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
28. What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions
A. People’s better gut instincts. B. Changed human behavior.
C. The modern information era. D. Various courses accessible.
29. According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in ______.
A. court rulings B. job promotions
C. operative estimation D. teaching practices
30. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B. Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D. Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
31. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of.
B. People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C. With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D. Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者陈述并论证了自己的观点：我们应该拥抱大数据让它参与人生重大决定。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart. (我们正生活在一个数据爆炸的时代，关于人类行为各个方面的大量信息变得越来越容易获取。我们可以利用这些大数据来帮助确定绘制地图的最佳路线。)”可知。作者主要的观点是在信息时代利用大数据去帮助自己决定选择哪条路径。故选C项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted. (例如，他们发现，一个简单的数据驱动算法在决定被告是应该留在监狱还是释放时，会比法官做得更好；在决定病人是否应该接受手术方面比医生做得更好；而且比学校校长更擅长决定哪些老师应该升职。)”可知，数据驱动的算法在这些方面表现更好：在法官决定被告人是该监禁还是释放方面；在医生决定病人是否该做手术方面；在学校校长决定哪些老师应该升职方面，在以上方面，算法都比人类做的好，由此可知，只有“教学实践”方面有可能不会打败人类。故选D项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. (数据分析的力量在体育和商业领域也得到了证明。正如书和电影《点球成金》(Moneyball)所述，棒球队发现算法在挑选球员方面比球探好，在挑选策略方面比经理好。)”可知，在电影《点球成金》中，算法在挑选球员和挑选策略方面比人类要好，由此可知，电影“点球成金”中的情节与成功的数据分析有关系。故选A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now. (相反，我认为我们都可以通过咨询从成千上万与我们面临类似困境的人那里获得的证据来显著改善我们的决策。我们现在就能做到。)”可知，作者认为，在众多面临着类似的困境的人那里获取的数据，能极大地帮助人们的决策，所以作者应该赞成“我们可以运用大数据从类似的例子中学习”这一观点。故选C项。
D
Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
32. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
33. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
34. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D. Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A. Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C. Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.
【答案】32. A 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究发现，使用杀虫剂造成英国鸣禽数量减少。为遏制这一趋势，科学家们向英国的园丁们介绍了一些合适的环保做法。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” (一项研究表明，使用杀虫剂的园丁正在导致英国鸣禽数量的减少。科学家敦促人们停止“向花园喷洒毒药”)”可知，杀虫剂的使用造成了鸣禽减少，科学家呼吁人们停止使用这些杀虫剂。由此推知，科学家呼吁的目的在于遏制这一趋势，阻止鸣禽数量减少，halt与stop意思相近，意为“阻止，制止”。故选A项。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%. (这项调查了英国615个花园的实验发现，定期使用草甘膦可以减少25%的家麻雀。这是一种在常用除草剂（如Roundup或Gallup）品牌中发现的成分。鼻涕虫杀虫剂似乎也对鸟类景观有影响；在使用鼻涕虫杀虫剂的花园中，麻雀的数量下降了近40%。)”可知，本段通过列数据说明了两种杀虫剂成分导致英国花园中的鸣禽数量大幅减少。由此推知，列出数据是为了证明第一段中研究者所做出的发现，即杀虫剂严重影响了英国的鸣禽。故选A项。
34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中Dave Goulson教授所说的话“We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France. (我们的花园不需要杀虫剂。世界上许多城镇现在都没有杀虫剂了。我们应该效仿法国，干脆禁止在城市地区使用这些毒药。)”可推知，像法国这样的一些国家已经禁止城市地区使用杀虫剂。故选D项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读最后一段内容，并结合其中的最后一句“It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”. (令人鼓舞的是，发现一些简单的措施，比如种植本地灌木和树木，建造一个池塘，同时避免使用杀虫剂，真的会对你在花园里看到的鸟类数量产生可测量的影响。”。)”可知，本段主要介绍了增加鸟类数量的辅助方法。故选B项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____36____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____37____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____38____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要介绍的是我们的一生中，沉溺于错误和缺点浪费了我们多的时间和精力，我们要尽早从中吸取教训，腾出更多的时间和精力去过自己想过的生活。
【36题详解】
分析语篇可知，此处应为该段的主题句，根据第一段的最后一句“The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings. (我认为，人生最大的遗憾，就是沉湎于错误和缺点。)”可知，全篇文章是讨论沉溺于错误和缺点，结合第三段中的首句“I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，该段讨论的是沉溺于自己的缺点带来的问题，由此可知，此空处应讨论“沉溺于错误”的相关内容，G选项“Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes. (总想着错误会浪费时间，更糟糕的是，会让我们更容易重复错误。)”讲述的内容为沉溺于自己的错误浪费了我们时间，甚至导致反复的犯错，且与空后“In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. (在一项研究中，研究人员要求受试者在想象的购物中心之旅中花钱。在“购物”之前，一些研究对象被要求回忆过去的一次财务错误。)”的研究内容吻合。故选G项。
【37题详解】
根据空前的“Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. (当然，我们也不想跳过或忽略我们的错误。)”可知，没有人要逃避当前的错误，由此可知，设空处将提出应该怎么做，E选项“The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure. (我们的目标是从失败中吸取教训，然后释放失败。)”讲述的内容为我们要在错误中吸取教训，从而减少失败，与上文内容吻合。故选E项。
【38题详解】
根据主题句“I also missed too much for fear of my shortcomings. (我也因为害怕自己的缺点而错过了太多。)”可知，本段重点写“沉溺于缺点”，根据空后的“I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. (高中毕业后我想去旅游，但我去了离家近的大学，因为我太害羞了，不敢结识新朋友，害怕在另一个城市过不下去。)”可知，作者以自己的经历分析沉溺于缺点的相关内容，由此可知，此处应是提及作者之前的不正确的做法，D选项“For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked. (多年来，我呆在一个舒适的地方，做着我不喜欢的事情。)”讲述的内容是作者自己的经历，与下文的内容吻合，且符合该段的主题。故选D项。
【39题详解】
根据空前的“After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. (大学毕业后，我想成为一名作家，但我决定找一份更稳定、更容易找到的工作，因为那样更容易。)”可知，作者大学毕业后，作者做的事情不是自己想做的事情，而是相对更简单一些的事情，空后的“I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. (我决定找一份我真正喜欢的工作，多旅行，住在别的地方。)”可知，作者决定要开始做自己真正喜欢的事情，与空前的内容完全不同，由此可知，设空处应为承上启下的作用，A选项“Eventually, I got tired of this. (最终，我厌倦了这一切。)”中的eventually为关键词，将空前的内容过渡到空后内容，且其中的this指代的内容为空前作者以前的做法。故选A项。
【40题详解】
分析语篇可知，本段是总结段，根据空后的“So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. (所以，永远不要因为自己的错误和缺点而自责。)”可知，作者劝告人们不要在为自己的错误或者缺点而自责，此空处讲述的内容与空后的内容为因果关系，B选项“Regret is another big waste of time. (后悔是另一种浪费时间的方式。)”讲述的是作者认为后悔是另外浪费时间的方式，与下文中作者对人们的劝告为因果关系，符合逻辑，内容吻合。故选B项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要简要介绍了儒家经典《四书》中的《中庸》的历史和核心。
【56题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：《中庸》是儒家经典，是《四书》的一部分。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，本句是客观对《中庸》的简介，结合本段应用的是一般现在时态，所以此处应使用一般现在时态，且主语The Zhongyong为第三人称单数。故填is。
【57题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，chapter为可数名词单数，在句中作表语，结合句意，此处意为“《礼记》中的一章”是泛指，所以使用不定冠词，且chapter的第一个音素为辅音。故填a。
【58题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意：它实际上是礼典《礼记》中的一章，是在宋朝从这本书中取出来的。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据时间状语“in the Song period”可知动作发生在过去，而主语是It，即The Zhongyong，与take构成动宾关系，所以要用一般过去时态的被动语态。故填was taken。
【59题详解】
考查词副词。句意：传统上认为是孔子的孙子子思。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰谓语动词，traditional的副词为traditionally意为“传统上”符合句意。故填traditionally。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：正如现代作者所说，这篇文章似乎至少部分是在前汉时期编撰的。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句，从句中缺少say的宾语，所以使用关系代词，结合句意，此处表示“正如”，所以应使用关系代词as ，as modern authors say意为“正如现代作家所说的”。故填as。
【61题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：孔子所说的“中庸”，并不是指“妥协”，而是指理解和处理客观事物的“正道”。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定搭配“not…but…”意为“不是……而是……”连接两个并列结构。故填but。
【62题详解】
考查介词。句意：这将导致行动的和谐，并最终形成一个和谐的社会。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语result in意为“造成，导致”符合句意。故填in。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：纯粹的和谐而不偏离中心音调，站在中心而不偏向一边，将保持所有社会地位的稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作主语，与“Pure harmony without wandering from the central tone”为并列主语，此处描述的是经常性动作，所以用stand动名词形式，结合句意，此处表示主动意义。故填standing。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意：智慧、善良和勇气是中庸之道的三种美德，它们将使一切社会关系保持稳定。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作主语，与 kind-heartedness and courage”是并列主语，所以要用wise的名词形式wisdom意为“智慧”，且为不可数名词。故填Wisdom。
【65题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：《中庸》的另一个重要方面是真诚。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语，动词treat与所修饰的名词Another important aspect构成动宾关系，所以此处应使用过去分词形式。故填treated。

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate (荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted (倾斜) down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn’t help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away. “Why couldn’t everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it; here, it is for you.” The “weed” before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
注意：
1. 续写词数应150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked. In the pure and sunny face were just a pair of eyes, somewhat hollow and focusless. “He was blind!” I felt myself choked as if there were a lump in my throat. With watery eyes, I took the flower from his hand carefully and praised it as the very best one. “Have a nice day!” the boy smiled broadly and then ran off briskly before I had time to convey the slightest appreciation. I sat there and wondered how a blind little boy managed to see a self-pitying girl under a sick willow tree and how he even knew clearly of my dreadful despair.
“I had to make a change,” I thought to myself. For all of those times I myself had been blind towards the world around me. Somehow, through the eyes of the blind boy, at last I could see my real problem. I promised to step out of the shady corner, open my eyes to the beauty of the world. Holding the wilted flower up to my nose, I took a deep sniff. A wave of faint fragrance lingering in my heart, I couldn’t help smiling just as the boy had done. Never did he know that his weed-like flower brought the first glimmer of sunshine to a girl’s deserted world.
【解析】

Frederick Phiri is the junk-art king of Zambia: at just 22, he started to earn an international reputation for being able to make complex and elegant sculptures from scrap (废弃的) metal found in his community.
Phiri’s father died when he was starting primary school. Then his mother abandoned him and he had to stay with his grandfather. His grandfather paid for his schooling through primary school but when he entered secondary school, he had to get various jobs to pay for his fees. Yet even in school, he was always drawing and making things in class.
After graduating, he did what he could to support himself by making animal sculptures from wires and sold them to tourists. His work was so popular that it caught the eye of Karen Beattie, director of Project Luangwa, a nonprofit organization dedicated to education and economic development in central Africa.
“I introduced him to a local welder (焊工),” Beattie told Newsweek.
In 2017, Phiri worked with welder Moses Mbewe during the rainy season, helping to make a complex set of doors for Project Luangwa. The piece sparked an idea in Beattie’s mind: “I handed him a bunch of scrap metal and said, ‘Make something with this.’ And he did. It was wonderful.”
Today, Phiri continues his art, using pieces of junk people bring him—keys, broken bike chains, old metal plugs and whatever scrap metal is lying around. He then turns the junk into abstract animals—elephants, cranes, giraffes, chameleons—and sells them at Project Luangwa headquarters. The community has recognized his talents.
“My dream is to earn enough to study art at the Evelyn Hone College in Lusaka and be able to make a living from it,” Phiri said “and then to make very large sculptures.”
24. What is Phiri known for
A. Serving his community. B. Collecting works of art.
C. Being the king of Zambia. D. Turning trash into treasure.
25. What can we learn about Phiri from paragraph 2
A. He had an unhappy childhood. B. He paid for his primary school.
C. He had to support his grandfather. D. He missed school to do part-time jobs.
26. How does Phiri feel about his future
A. Uncertain. B. Confident.
C. Depressed. D. Satisfied.
27. What can be a suitable title for the passage
A. A Successful Path of Art. B. The Junk-art King of Zambia.
C. A Young Man’s Wildest Dream. D. The Modern Junk Works of Art.

Whom should you marry Where should you live How should you spend your time For centuries, people have relied on their gut instincts (直觉) to figure out the answers to these life-changing questions. Now, though, there is a better way. We are living through a data explosion, as vast amounts of information about all aspects of human behavior have become more and more accessible. We can use this big data to help determine the best course to chart.
There has long been overwhelming- and often surprising- evidence that algorithms (算法) can be much better than people at making difficult decisions. Researchers have collected data on various kinds of choices people make, the information they base those choices on, and how things turn out. They have found, for example, that a simple data-driven algorithm would have been better than judges at deciding whether a defendant should stay in jail (监狱) or be released; better than doctors at deciding whether a patient should get a procedure; and better than school principals at deciding which teachers should be promoted.
The power of data analysis has been proved in the sports and business worlds, too. As made famous by the book and movie Moneyball, baseball teams found that algorithms were better than scouts (物色优秀运动员的人) at picking players, and better than managers at picking strategies. In finance, the hedge fund (避险基金) Renaissance Technologies dramatically defeated competitors by seeking out patterns in stock market data and using them to inform its investment strategy. Tech firms in Silicon Valley have found that data from experiments provides better insights into how to design their websites than designers could.
These are the early days of the data revolution in decision-making. I am not claiming that we can completely outsource (外包) our lifestyle choices to algorithms, though we might get to that point in the future. I am claiming instead that we can all dramatically improve our decision-making by consulting evidence mined from thousands or millions of people who faced dilemmas similar to ours. And we can do that now.
28. What makes people better at finding answers to life-changing questions
A. People’s better gut instincts. B. Changed human behavior.
C. The modern information era. D. Various courses accessible.
29. According to paragraph 2, algorithms might NOT defeat people in ______.
A. court rulings B. job promotions
C. operative estimation D. teaching practices
30. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. The plot of the movie Moneyball is related to successful data analysis.
B. Scouts and managers are not needed in successful baseball teams.
C. The hedge fund Renaissance Technologies had some financial problems.
D. Tech firms in Silicon Valley mainly relied on data to design websites.
31. Which of the following will the author most probably agree with
A. The modern information era is mature enough to take advantage of.
B. People should outsource all the lifestyle choices to algorithms.
C. With big data people can learn from countless similar examples.
D. Face-to-face consultation will be the major trend in the future.
D
Gardeners who use pesticides are contributing to the decline of British songbirds, a study suggests. Scientists have urged people to stop “spraying their gardens with poisons” in order to halt bird decline and adopt instead wildlife-friendly practices. The results of the University of Sussex study, which researchers call the first of its kind, were published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
The experiment, which surveyed 615 gardens in Britain, found 25% fewer house sparrows when glyphosate (草甘膦) was used regularly. This is an ingredient found in commonly used herbicide (除草剂) brands such as Roundup or Gallup. Slug pellets (鼻涕虫杀虫剂) also seemed to have an impact on bird sightings; in gardens where Slug pellets were used, house sparrow numbers were down by almost 40%.
Prof. Dave Goulson, of the school of life sciences at the University of Sussex, said, “The UK has 22 million gardens, which collectively could be a fantastic refuge for wildlife, but not if they are overly tidy and sprayed with poisons. We just don’t need pesticides in our gardens. Many towns around the world are now pesticide free. We should simply ban the use of these poisons in urban areas, following the example of France.” The Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity, said the use of pesticides and herbicides should be avoided if possible and they should only be used, if ever, in small and targeted applications.
The research also found that those who adopted wildlife-friendly practices such as planting native shrubs and flowers, or digging a wildlife pond, saw more birds than those who did not. Cannelle Tassin de Montaigu, a PhD researcher within the school of life sciences and an author of the study, said, “It’s encouraging to find that simple measures, such as planting native shrubs and trees and creating a pond, together with avoiding the use of pesticides, really make a measurable difference to the number of birds you will see in your garden.”
32. What does the underlined word “halt” in paragraph 1 most probably mean
A. Stop. B. Attract. C. Note. D. Witness.
33. Why are the statistics mentioned in paragraph 2
A. To reveal the severe influence of pesticides on birds.
B. To compare the effects of two kinds of pesticides.
C. To convince readers of the importance of house sparrows.
D. To help gardeners choose the proper pesticides.
34. What can be inferred from Prof. Dave Goulson’s words
A. The ideal places for wildlife in the UK are extremely tidy gardens.
B. The gardens in the UK are so tidy that pesticides are not needed.
C. Pesticides should be prohibited from use throughout the UK.
D. Some countries like France have made urban areas pesticide free.
35. What is the last paragraph mainly about
A Alternative methods to keep gardens tidy.
B. Assistant ways to increase the number of birds.
C. Gardeners’ attitudes towards the experiment.
D. Other researchers’ interest in the experiment.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
There are things we all do, or don’t do, that lead us to waste far more time than we realize in the moment. The biggest time regret, I think, is dwelling on (沉湎于) mistakes and shortcomings.
____36____ In a study, researchers asked subjects to spend money during an imaginary trip to the mall. Before “shopping”, some subjects were asked to recall a past financial mistake. They found those subjects were more likely to incur (招致) debt. Dwelling made them feel like a failure and told them there was no need to try, because they already sucked. So, they got further into debt when already feeling like an over spender. Of course, we don’t want to skip over our mistakes or ignore them either. ____37____
I also missed too much for fear of my own shortcomings. ____38____ I wanted to travel after high school, but I went to university close to home instead, because I was too shy to meet new people and was afraid I couldn’t make it in another city. After university, I wanted to be a writer, but I decided to find a more stable, accessible job instead, because that’s easier. ____39____ I decided to find work I actually enjoyed, travel more and live somewhere else. I made a ton of mistakes along the way, but the bigger mistake was not trying sooner.
____40____ So, never beat yourself up over your mistakes and shortcomings. The sooner you learn from them, the sooner you can free up your time and energy to live the life you want.
A. Eventually, I got tired of this.
B. Regret is another big waste of time.
C. I was doing it for the wrong reason that I was afraid to fail.
D. For years, I stayed in a comfortable place, doing things I disliked.
E. The goal is to learn something from them, and then release the failure.
F. When you finally relate it to your own past experiences, it probably becomes easier.
G. Dwelling on mistakes wastes time and, worse still, makes us more likely to repeat mistakes.

67. 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。
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath a willow tree. It must be as sick, for the branches were kind of yellow and dry. I was a deserted girl. Endless quarrels with my parents had left me nowhere to go but this desolate (荒无人烟的) corner of the park. As I sat on the bench, things that happened recently began to flash through. Days seemed months to me recently. No cozy home to stay. No happy memories about my life. No considerate family members to talk to. Even the book I was reading was no fun. Not content with life, I had a good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down.
And if that were not enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of breath approached me, all tired from play. He stood right in front of me with his head tilted (倾斜) down and said with great excitement, “Look what I found!” In his hand was a flower. What a pitiful sight, its petals (花瓣) were all worn—not enough rain, or too little light. He must have picked the flower from somewhere shady and sunless, just like where I was staying these days. I couldn’t help being self-pitying. Wanting him to take his dead flower away and go off to play, I faked a smile and then looked away. “Why couldn’t everyone just leave me be!” I thought to myself, upset and gloomy.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to me and placed the flower to his nose and declared loudly with certainty, “It sure smells pretty and it must be beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it; here, it is for you.” The “weed” before me was dying or dead, not vibrant with colors, orange, yellow or red—anyone having eyes can see that clearly! But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, “Just what I need.” Strangely, instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air without any reason or plan.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Casting a curious glance at the boy’s eyes, I was hugely shocked.
