Xi'an is regarded as a “Living History Museum” because of its rich, diverse collection of historical and cultural treasures. Besides the Terracotta Warriors, there are also some other attractions in the city. Here are some of them.
Ancient City Wall
Xi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century in the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda(塔)
Situated in an ancient temple, the pagoda with layers of bricks was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is traditional Chinese architecture. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store Buddhist scriptures(经文)and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang, who stayed here for more than ten years translating Buddhist scriptures.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum, built in 1991, is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. The museum consists of three main sections. Its collections range from bronze ware(器皿)to pottery ware, gold and silver ware and mural paintings(壁画) from the Tang Dynasty tombs.
The Muslim Quarter
One of the highlights is its local snacks when you tour Xi'an. The best food destination is the Muslim Quarter, which has a history of several hundred years. Consisting of a number of food streets, the area has become a famous attraction in the city for its rich cultural atmosphere.

Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist...Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the most extraordinary experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered the Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came into contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at the age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating (展示) new experiments at the society's weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes. He invented a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. They were cells—the smallest unit of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the box-like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院).
Another achievement of Hooke is his book Micrographia, which introduces the enormous potential of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas of gravity, light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theoretical frameworks of these phenomena.
Hooke made a valuable contribution to astronomy too. A crater on the moon is named after him in honour of his service to this branch of science.
4.Why did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments
A.He liked designing experiments.
B.His family needed his support.
C.His parents couldn't afford his education.
D.He wanted to please some famous scientists.
5.What does the underlined word “pastimes” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Jobs. B.Experiments.
C.Hobbies. D.Structures.
6.What can we know about Hooke
A.He went to Oxford in 1645.
B.He was well paid at the Royal Society of London.
C.He made a contribution to medicine.
D.His book Micrographia may have helped Newton.
7.Which word can be used to describe Hooke
A.Honest. B.Creative. C.Reliable. D.Modest.
C
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon's own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn't,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn't the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer that generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI—Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I'm a model and singer. And I'm a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question:Can we reproduce creativity using a computer
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
8.What plays an important role in producing PROTO
A.Holly's special voice.
B.The input of existing music.
C.Holly's rich knowledge.
D.The use of an instrument.
9.Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa
A.To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B.To show the popularity of smart robots.
C.To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D.To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
10.What is the author's attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised.
C.Confident. D.Confused.
11.What does the text mainly talk about
A.The increasing diversity of AI music.
B.The development of musical composition.
C.The history of computer-generated music.
D.The combination of AI and musical composition.

Japanese automaker(汽车制造商) Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future”. It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed Internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems.
The main streets in Woven City will be divided for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will be designed for people riding bicycles. The third part will be used for walking. To move people through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero-emission(零排放的)Toyota vehicles will be allowed on the roads. In and throughout Woven City, Toyota e-Palette will be used for transportation and deliveries.
The city will be fully sustainable(可持续的), with buildings made mostly of wood to cut the carbon footprint to the minimum. The rooftops will be covered with solar panels to produce power in addition to power produced by H2 fuel cells(电池). Houses will be equipped with the latest AI technologies, such as in-home robots to assist with daily work and to check people's health. Both neighborhood parks and a large central park for recreation and social gatherings are designed to bring the people together.
Toyota plans to populate the city with Toyota Motor Corporation employees and their family, visiting scientists and industry partners. The plan is for 2,000 people to start, adding more as the project develops.
“Building a complete city from scratch, even in a small size like this, is a unique chance to develop future technologies. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through sensors, we will be able to test ‘connected AI technology’ in both the virtual and the physical areas to maximize its potential,” said Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Experts say smart cities, like Toyota's “Woven City”, will greatly improve our living conditions.
12.What is “e-Palette” in Paragraph 2
A.An intelligent robot.
B.A driverless car.
C.An autonomous bike.
D.A slow vehicle.
13.What can we say about Woven City

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。
Maybe you're an extraordinary young scientist wanting to have an influence on the world, or a more seasoned veteran(老手) of scientific study who is curious about how to get better at your job. Either way, there are several key steps to develop your ability to make positive contributions to the world.
Experiment with new ideas. An important part of scientific discovery is the result of hard work and luck. Luck has frequently played a large role in scientific discovery. 16 You never know when experimentation and luck will collide(碰撞) to create an important discovery.
Be open to failure. You may think a scientist should be smart, gifted, skilled in mathematics, and precise. 17 Being a scientist is 90% failure and 10% success.
Take charge of your ideas. Challenge yourself to come up with one idea related to your project a day. 18 As a scientist in a competitive field, you need to create your own opportunities by owning your ideas and working hard to develop them further.
Practice your writing skills. 19 Try to do a little writing every day, and put your ideas or thinking down on the page so you can get into the habit of recording your ideas, which could later end up in a published paper or in a lecture about your latest scientific theory.
20 Though hard work is necessary to be a good scientist, it's important to strike a balance between professional work and personal downtime. Don't let yourself get burnt out.
A.Keep a balance between hard work and rest.
B.So, don't be afraid to play around with new ideas.
C.You will do better work if you work with someone else.
D.Create a writing process that works for you and stick to it.
E.You should be open to the solutions made by others in the field.
F.Though some of them will be bad, many could lead to a new experiment or theory.
G.However, an important quality a good scientist should have is a willingness to fail.

第二节(满分25分)
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。
In 1989, fresh from high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before the college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine and business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement(实习工作) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I knew how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had a stressful environment. The days started early (at 7 a.m., compared to 9 a.m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties and the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxed atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement, but the study and training were difficult. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces.

41.inspiring 考查非谓语动词。句意:2009年,Whitacre收到了一段视频,视频中一个女孩正在演唱他的一首作品,这激发了他组建第一个虚拟合唱团的灵感。本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故应用现在分词形式。
42.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:他让他的粉丝们制作视频,然后他将这些视频组合成一场表演。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,逗号后面的句子缺少joined的宾语,故推测本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词videos,本空在从句中作宾语且指物,故应用关系代词which。
43.has received 考查时态。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语Since then可知,本空应用现在完成时。
44.phenomena 考查名词复数。“one of+可数名词复数”意为“……之一”,注意phenomenon的复数形式为phenomena。
45.a 考查冠词。句意:对于世界各地的人们来说,用一个声音唱歌是一种美妙的方式,从而使世界变得更美好。空后名词place为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,且better以辅音音素开头,故本空应用不定冠词a。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus. He hit the road with his face down and rolled over. He lay still in the middle of the road while the bus sped away. None of the cars behind stopped. Thinking that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the boy. With the help of some passers-by, I lifted the unconscious boy into the car and raced back to the hospital. After his family were contacted, and he was wheeled into the emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted but happy.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces. What a feeling it was to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening, I decided on my career path. Two months of placements could not do what 30 minutes' helping an accident victim had done for me. This experience taught me that at times, the decisions are made for you—and that whatever happens is always for the best.

Xi'an is regarded as a “Living History Museum” because of its rich, diverse collection of historical and cultural treasures. Besides the Terracotta Warriors, there are also some other attractions in the city. Here are some of them.
Ancient City Wall
Xi'an City Wall was built in the 14th century in the Ming Dynasty as a military defense system. Now it is one of the oldest and best preserved Chinese city walls. The wall is now a landmark, dividing the city into inner and outer areas.
Giant Wild Goose Pagoda(塔)
Situated in an ancient temple, the pagoda with layers of bricks was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is traditional Chinese architecture. One of the main functions of the pagoda was to store Buddhist scriptures(经文)and figurines brought to China from India by the famous monk and traveler Xuan Zang, who stayed here for more than ten years translating Buddhist scriptures.
Shaanxi History Museum
The Shaanxi History Museum, built in 1991, is home to over 370,000 precious relics unearthed in Shaanxi over the years. The museum consists of three main sections. Its collections range from bronze ware(器皿)to pottery ware, gold and silver ware and mural paintings(壁画) from the Tang Dynasty tombs.
The Muslim Quarter
One of the highlights is its local snacks when you tour Xi'an. The best food destination is the Muslim Quarter, which has a history of several hundred years. Consisting of a number of food streets, the area has become a famous attraction in the city for its rich cultural atmosphere.

Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist...Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the most extraordinary experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered the Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came into contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at the age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating (展示) new experiments at the society's weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes. He invented a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. They were cells—the smallest unit of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the box-like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery (修道院).
Another achievement of Hooke is his book Micrographia, which introduces the enormous potential of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas of gravity, light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theoretical frameworks of these phenomena.
Hooke made a valuable contribution to astronomy too. A crater on the moon is named after him in honour of his service to this branch of science.
4.Why did Hooke accept the job as Curator of Experiments
A.He liked designing experiments.
B.His family needed his support.
C.His parents couldn't afford his education.
D.He wanted to please some famous scientists.
5.What does the underlined word “pastimes” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Jobs. B.Experiments.
C.Hobbies. D.Structures.
6.What can we know about Hooke
A.He went to Oxford in 1645.
B.He was well paid at the Royal Society of London.
C.He made a contribution to medicine.
D.His book Micrographia may have helped Newton.
7.Which word can be used to describe Hooke
A.Honest. B.Creative. C.Reliable. D.Modest.
C
While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon's own voice.
When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn't,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot It sounds like music from the future!
But Holly Herndon isn't the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer that generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI—Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it.
AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I'm a model and singer. And I'm a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question:Can we reproduce creativity using a computer
Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.
8.What plays an important role in producing PROTO
A.Holly's special voice.
B.The input of existing music.
C.Holly's rich knowledge.
D.The use of an instrument.
9.Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa
A.To promote deep thinking on AI musicians.
B.To show the popularity of smart robots.
C.To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists.
D.To make comparisons between human and robotic artists.
10.What is the author's attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans
A.Doubtful. B.Surprised.
C.Confident. D.Confused.
11.What does the text mainly talk about
A.The increasing diversity of AI music.
B.The development of musical composition.
C.The history of computer-generated music.
D.The combination of AI and musical composition.

Japanese automaker(汽车制造商) Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future”. It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed Internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems.
The main streets in Woven City will be divided for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will be designed for people riding bicycles. The third part will be used for walking. To move people through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero-emission(零排放的)Toyota vehicles will be allowed on the roads. In and throughout Woven City, Toyota e-Palette will be used for transportation and deliveries.
The city will be fully sustainable(可持续的), with buildings made mostly of wood to cut the carbon footprint to the minimum. The rooftops will be covered with solar panels to produce power in addition to power produced by H2 fuel cells(电池). Houses will be equipped with the latest AI technologies, such as in-home robots to assist with daily work and to check people's health. Both neighborhood parks and a large central park for recreation and social gatherings are designed to bring the people together.
Toyota plans to populate the city with Toyota Motor Corporation employees and their family, visiting scientists and industry partners. The plan is for 2,000 people to start, adding more as the project develops.
“Building a complete city from scratch, even in a small size like this, is a unique chance to develop future technologies. With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through sensors, we will be able to test ‘connected AI technology’ in both the virtual and the physical areas to maximize its potential,” said Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corporation.
Experts say smart cities, like Toyota's “Woven City”, will greatly improve our living conditions.
12.What is “e-Palette” in Paragraph 2
A.An intelligent robot.
B.A driverless car.
C.An autonomous bike.
D.A slow vehicle.

Maybe you're an extraordinary young scientist wanting to have an influence on the world, or a more seasoned veteran(老手) of scientific study who is curious about how to get better at your job. Either way, there are several key steps to develop your ability to make positive contributions to the world.
Experiment with new ideas. An important part of scientific discovery is the result of hard work and luck. Luck has frequently played a large role in scientific discovery. 16 You never know when experimentation and luck will collide(碰撞) to create an important discovery.
Be open to failure. You may think a scientist should be smart, gifted, skilled in mathematics, and precise. 17 Being a scientist is 90% failure and 10% success.
Take charge of your ideas. Challenge yourself to come up with one idea related to your project a day. 18 As a scientist in a competitive field, you need to create your own opportunities by owning your ideas and working hard to develop them further.
Practice your writing skills. 19 Try to do a little writing every day, and put your ideas or thinking down on the page so you can get into the habit of recording your ideas, which could later end up in a published paper or in a lecture about your latest scientific theory.
20 Though hard work is necessary to be a good scientist, it's important to strike a balance between professional work and personal downtime. Don't let yourself get burnt out.
A.Keep a balance between hard work and rest.
B.So, don't be afraid to play around with new ideas.
C.You will do better work if you work with someone else.
D.Create a writing process that works for you and stick to it.
E.You should be open to the solutions made by others in the field.
F.Though some of them will be bad, many could lead to a new experiment or theory.
G.However, an important quality a good scientist should have is a willingness to fail.

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。
In 1989, fresh from high school, I had the difficult task of choosing a career path before the college started in three months. In those days in Pakistan, there were limited choices: becoming a doctor or an engineer, or entering the financial world after getting a business degree. I wasn't interested in engineering, so I was left with medicine and business. I couldn't decide.
My uncle suggested that I do a work placement(实习工作) to experience it for a month in an international company followed by a month in a hospital. After that, I could make a decision. It seemed like a good idea.
I was accepted for a month's placement at a foreign bank in Karachi. I knew how the world of finance functioned, made new friends, and generally enjoyed the work surroundings.
The month passed rapidly, and soon I began working at a leading hospital in Karachi. The experience couldn't have been more different. The hospital had a stressful environment. The days started early (at 7 a.m., compared to 9 a.m. at the bank), and were filled with endless duties and the night calls! This was crazy, working all day, through the night, and again the next day.
I began thinking about my two experiences. The bank had offered a more relaxed atmosphere, better working hours and less stress. The hospital was full of excitement, but the study and training were difficult. It seemed that the business choice was going to win out.
Near the end of my month at the hospital, I was driving home after an especially busy night call. In front of me was a public bus, with college students sitting on the top. As the driver weaved through traffic, I could see the boys shaking from side to side.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces.

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了虚拟合唱团的发展和意义。
36.to add 考查非谓语动词。enable sb. to do sth.意为“使某人能够做某事”,故本空应用不定式形式作宾语补足语。
37.began 考查时态。设空处为who引导的非限制性定语从句的谓语,根据时间状语in 1988可知,本空应用一般过去时。
38.with 考查介词。fall in love with意为“喜欢上,爱上”,故本空应用介词with。
39.Moved 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,本句已有谓语,故此处应用非谓语动词形式。本空在句中作状语,动词move和其逻辑主语he之间为被动关系,故本空应用过去分词作状语。
40.original 考查形容词。本空修饰名词compositions,故应用形容词作定语。original compositions意为“原创作品”。
41.inspiring 考查非谓语动词。句意:2009年,Whitacre收到了一段视频,视频中一个女孩正在演唱他的一首作品,这激发了他组建第一个虚拟合唱团的灵感。本空在句中作结果状语,表示自然而然的结果,故应用现在分词形式。
42.which 考查非限制性定语从句。句意:他让他的粉丝们制作视频,然后他将这些视频组合成一场表演。设空处无提示词,空前有逗号,逗号前面的句子意思完整,不缺成分,逗号后面的句子缺少joined的宾语,故推测本空引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词videos,本空在从句中作宾语且指物,故应用关系代词which。
43.has received 考查时态。设空处为本句的谓语,根据时间状语Since then可知,本空应用现在完成时。
44.phenomena 考查名词复数。“one of+可数名词复数”意为“……之一”,注意phenomenon的复数形式为phenomena。
45.a 考查冠词。句意:对于世界各地的人们来说,用一个声音唱歌是一种美妙的方式,从而使世界变得更美好。空后名词place为可数名词单数,此处表示泛指,且better以辅音音素开头,故本空应用不定冠词a。

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Suddenly,a boy fell from the bus. He hit the road with his face down and rolled over. He lay still in the middle of the road while the bus sped away. None of the cars behind stopped. Thinking that he could die in a matter of minutes, I stopped my car and carefully examined the boy. With the help of some passers-by, I lifted the unconscious boy into the car and raced back to the hospital. After his family were contacted, and he was wheeled into the emergency surgery, I drove home, exhausted but happy.
Paragraph 2:
The next day,when I went to the hospital to see the boy,all his family got up,with grateful smiles on their faces. What a feeling it was to help save the life of another person! I spent the rest of the day in a state of the most fabulous mood I had ever experienced. Driving home that evening, I decided on my career path. Two months of placements could not do what 30 minutes' helping an accident victim had done for me. This experience taught me that at times, the decisions are made for you—and that whatever happens is always for the best.
