Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students. There is a simple solution to this problem; school uniforms (校服).
I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers (同龄人).
From sixth grade until I graduated from senior high school, I attended a school that required students to wear uniforms. The uniform was very simple: dark brown shoes, green-brown pants, and a white shirt. The uniform left little room for any kind of self-expression, especially through clothes.
However, I learned how to stand out by expressing myself through my personality, art, and sports. I did not know I could draw until the sixth grade. I also would never have learned of my musical abilities if it hadn’t been for my desire to find ways to express myself. Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.
Uniforms also contribute to a much safer learning environment. I remember a particular event that happened in my junior high school. A man ran away from prison and wanted to hide in the gym of our school. Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place. School officials kept the man locked inside our gym until the police came to take him back to prison.
Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class (经济阶层). In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By explaining a basic rule.
B. By challenging others’ views.
C. By describing a common problem.
D. By sharing his parents’ experience.
5. Which of the following could the author agree with
A. Uniforms should be more modern.
B. Uniforms can help shape better students.
C Uniforms are popular with students.
D. Uniforms are bad for self-development.
6. What do the underlined words “out of place” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Dressing differently. B. Standing straight.
C. Running fast. D. Breathing heavily.
7 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To record his high school life.
B. To show his supportive view towards uniforms.
C. To ask students to like what they wear.
D. To introduce high school uniforms.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。为了避免因服装不同造成学生之间的一些差别和攀比，穿校服成为一个较好的解决办法。作者通过自身的一些经历和体会，讲述了穿校服带来的好处。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“There is a simple solution to this problem: school uniforms. (这个问题有一个简单的解决办法：校服)”可知，作者用“this problem”引出了文章主题。根据第一段中“Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students.(每年8月左右，数百万青少年带着父母去商店为新学年的开始购买新衣服。不是每个家长都能负担得起，一些青少年被迫穿和去年一样的衣服去上学。服装上的明显差异造成了学生之间的差异)”可知，这是一个普遍问题，所以作者是通过描写一个普遍问题而引出主题。故选C。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers (同龄人).(我从个人经历和调查中了解到，穿制服会在同龄人之间产生一种平等感)”和第四段“ Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.(校服让我知道我就是我自己，除了我的穿着)”、第五段“Uniforms also help to a much safer learning environment. (校服还有助于营造更安全的学习环境)”和最后一段“Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class (经济阶层).(校服有助于为所有学生提供更好的教育体验，无论什么种族、文化或经济阶层)”可推断，作者认为校服对学生有很大好处，能够帮助塑造更好的学生。故选B。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place. (幸运的是，在可能发生危险之前，遍布学校里的摄像头很快发现了这个陌生人，因为他out of place)”并结合全文可知，这个陌生人因为没有穿校服，与其它同学不相称，所以很显眼，很容易被发现，out of place意为“穿着不同(Dressing differently)”。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students. (总之，穿校服对学校和学生都有好处)”并结合前文可知，作者主要是为了描写穿校服的好处，表达自己支持校服的观点。故选B。
C
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.
8. Who are the target readers of this passage
A Parents B. Scientists
C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer
A. The lack of life experience. B. The physical changes.
C. The failure of concentration. D. The unfamiliar surroundings.
10. How did the writer feel about her teenage life
A. It was enjoyable. B. It was simple.
C. It was boring. D. It was difficult.
11. What does the writer advise teenagers to do
A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。作者通过自己的经历告诉我们，如果你懂得如何处理日常烦恼，你的青少年生活就没有那么难了。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.(青少年的生活充满戏剧性，但这并不意味着你不能享受这几年的生活。即使你每天都有烦恼，如果你知道如何处理它们，你的生活也不会很艰难)”可知，本文为青少年处理日常生活提出建议，故文章的目标读者是青少年。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!(最重要的是，你体内的荷尔蒙失衡真的会让你一团糟。我也经历过。我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛！)”可知，在所有的影响因素中，身体里的荷尔蒙不平衡会使得青少年的生活变得一团糟，所以身体上的变化让青少年的生活变得艰难。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!(我也经历过。我花了六年时间探索生活的真谛！)”和第三段中“As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. (十几岁的时候，我在按时完成日常任务方面遇到了很大的问题)”可以推断，作者的青少年生活是有很多问题，即是困难的。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. (现在生活变得轻松多了，因为我按时完成了所有的工作，有足够的时间放松。青少年有一半的问题是因为我们讨厌做事。我们宁愿去玩，也不愿坐下来承担责任)”可知，作者建议青少年承担自己该有的责任，生活就没有那么难了。故选A。
D
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be Would you want to fly or be invisible Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds Wouldn’t that be cool
Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing.
The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.
The device is fairly accurate. Inal0-person trial, AlterEgo had a92percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines human and machine in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thoughts ” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.
So what effect could this have on communication AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport.
12. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1
A. To ask readers for their opinions. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To show the author’s curiosity.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The questions. B. The computers. C. The signals. D. The words.
14. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication
A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.
B. People will make good mind-readers.
C. People no longer need mobile phones.
D. People can communicate more smoothly.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text’
A. AlterEgo Frees People of Thinking. B. Wearable Device Controls Computer.
C. Silent Reader of Your Mind Comes True. D. Communication Is Easy with AI Assistants.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了麻省理工学院的研究人员开发出了一种可穿戴设备AlterEgo，它能够真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们与计算机对话，而不会被其他人听到；同时介绍了AlterEgo工作原理和对人类交流的影响。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。由第一段“If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be Would you want to fly or be invisible Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds Wouldn’t that be cool (如果你是超级英雄，你的超能力是什么？你想飞翔还是隐身？或者，也许，你更愿意拥有读心的能力？那不是很酷吗？)”和第二段“Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. (读心术并不像你想象的那么牵强。事实上，麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种可穿戴设备，它可以真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们在没有其他人听到的情况下与计算机交谈)”可知，第一段内容导入文章关于“读心设备”的主题，引出下文。故选B项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words. (当佩戴该设备的人想到一个单词或短语但不说时，AlterEgo会在该人的下巴和脸上拾取神经肌肉信号。AlterEgo将这些信号发送到计算机，计算机通过编程将them与特定的单词相关联)”可知，AlterEgo通过拾取神经肌肉信号并将其发送到计算机，计算机通过编程将这些信号与特定的单词相关联，所以划线词them指代的是上文“信号（The signals）”。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport. (AlterEgo可以改变人类与计算机交互的方式，使我们能够在无人知晓的情况下与人工智能助手，如亚马逊的Alexa、谷歌的助手或苹果的Siri，进行无声连接。如果一个人正在交谈，想查找一些信息，他们不必拿出数字设备；相反，他们可以只考虑这个问题。AlterEgo将在不中断对话的情况下回答。该设备还可以帮助人们在嘈杂的环境中进行交流，例如在机场的工厂地板上)”可知，AlterEgo可以使人们不需要说话就可以彼此交流，还帮助人们在嘈杂的环境中进行交流，可得出AlterEgo会对人们的交流产生的影响是使人们可以更顺畅地交流。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。由第二段中的“In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing. (事实上，麻省理工学院的研究人员已经开发出一种可穿戴设备，它可以真实地表达一个人的想法，并允许他们在没有其他人听到的情况下与计算机交谈)”和下文关于“读心设备AlterEgo的工作原理和对人类交流的影响”介绍可知，文章主要介绍了读心设备AlterEgo使人们不需要说话就可以彼此交流，真实地表达一个人的想法，C项“无声的读心术成真了”符合文意。故选C项。

Your dad may get laughed at by the neighbours because of the car he drives.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了丝绸之路在历史上的作用和重要性。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：丝绸之路是古代和中世纪连接东西方的贸易路线网络。分析句子结构，空处引导的是一个限制性定语从句，修饰先行词The Silk Road，指物，且在从句中作主语，所以应用which或that引导。故填which/that。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意：除了丝绸，丝绸之路沿线还有其他各种商品的贸易，该网络对科学、技术和艺术理想的传播也很重要。根据空后的Silk Road可知，这里是“丝绸之路”这个专有名词，其前应加定冠词the。故填the。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：丝绸之路对沿途的土地产生了巨大的影响，贸易对丝绸之路沿线城镇的发展也很重要。have a great influence on意为“对……有重要影响”。故填on。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意参考上题。空处应填名词作宾语，development“发展”为不可数名词。故填development。
【40题详解】
考查时态。句意：丝绸之路沿线的许多商人都加入了中转贸易，在贸易中，一件物品会多次易主，并在到达最终买家之前与每一个买家一起旅行一段时间。空处为主句谓语动词，根据句中的would change和句意，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填joined。
【41题详解】
考查名词的数。句意参考上题。time作“次”讲时是可数名词，其前有many修饰，所以应用名词复数。故填times。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：对于任何一个商人来说，千里迢迢往返于中国和欧洲或北非之间似乎都是极不寻常的。这里应用副词修饰后面的unusual，enormously意为“非常，极其”符合题意。故填enormously。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：相反，许多商人专注于通过丝绸之路的各个路段运输货物。空前有介词on，这里应用动名词作宾语。故填transporting。
【44题详解】
考查连词。句意：它对世界文明的进步和人类社会的进步具有重要意义。空前的“the improvement of world civilization”和空后的“the progress of human society”之间是并列关系，所以应用and连接。故填and。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意：对丝绸之路的研究在今天继续产生着强大的影响。空处应用形容词，修饰空后的influence。powerful“强大的”符合题意。故填powerful。

47. 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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph1:
Slowly,Peter raised his hand.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph2:
Peter looked around.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get full marks on the test. I made a mistake.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper, “I spelled contribution with ’s-i’ instead of ‘t-i’. ”Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s testpaper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter, “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Paragraph 2:
Peter looked around. He found many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to Mr. White. Meanwhile, he couldn’t wait to show it to Mum and tell her one of his best days ever.

Population Nobody lives in Antarctica all the time! The first people to stay there for a while were fishermen in 1786. Now there are about 5, 000 scientists and researchers there in the summer
History of exploration (探险) During 1907-1909, British explorer Earnest Shackleton explored Antarctica on foot. In 1911, two explorers — a British man named Scott and a Norwegian named Amundsen — raced 1, 400 kilometres to the South Pole (南极). Amundsen arrived first.

Every year around August, millions of teens take their parents to stores to buy new clothes for the start of the school year. Not every parent can afford this, and some teens are forced to go to school in the same clothes they wore last year. The obvious differences in clothes cause differences among students. There is a simple solution to this problem; school uniforms (校服).
I know from personal experience and surveys that wearing uniforms creates a sense of equality among peers (同龄人).
From sixth grade until I graduated from senior high school, I attended a school that required students to wear uniforms. The uniform was very simple: dark brown shoes, green-brown pants, and a white shirt. The uniform left little room for any kind of self-expression, especially through clothes.
However, I learned how to stand out by expressing myself through my personality, art, and sports. I did not know I could draw until the sixth grade. I also would never have learned of my musical abilities if it hadn’t been for my desire to find ways to express myself. Uniforms taught me that I was myself, except what I wore.
Uniforms also contribute to a much safer learning environment. I remember a particular event that happened in my junior high school. A man ran away from prison and wanted to hide in the gym of our school. Luckily, cameras all over the school quickly found the stranger before any danger could ever happen as he was out of place. School officials kept the man locked inside our gym until the police came to take him back to prison.
Uniforms help provide a better educational experience for all students no matter what race, culture, or economic class (经济阶层). In closing, wearing uniforms is good for both schools and students.
4. How does the author introduce the topic
A. By explaining a basic rule.
B. By challenging others’ views.
C. By describing a common problem.
D. By sharing his parents’ experience.
5. Which of the following could the author agree with
A. Uniforms should be more modern.
B. Uniforms can help shape better students.
C. Uniforms are popular with students.
D Uniforms are bad for self-development.
6. What do the underlined words “out of place” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Dressing differently. B. Standing straight.
C Running fast. D. Breathing heavily.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To record his high school life.
B. To show his supportive view towards uniforms.
C. To ask students to like what they wear.
D. To introduce high school uniforms.
C
Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.
I know exactly how you feel. Teenage life can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to consider your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. Above all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的) imbalance in your body can really mess you up. I have been there. I was in it for six years exploring what life is about!
As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my routine tasks on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my homework, study for the upcoming tests and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while keeping a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, “Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.”
Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems of a teenager appear because we hate doing things. We’d rather go and have fun than sit down and take on our responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won’t let you go out with friends because you haven’t cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven’t finished your homework.
8. Who are the target readers of this passage
A. Parents B. Scientists
C. Teachers D. Teenagers.
9. What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer
A. The lack of life experience. B. The physical changes.
C. The failure of concentration. D. The unfamiliar surroundings.
10. How did the writer feel about her teenage life
A. It was enjoyable. B. It was simple.
C. It was boring. D. It was difficult.
11. What does the writer advise teenagers to do
A. Take on responsibilities. B. Go and have fun.
C. Finish their homework. D. Give up their friends.
D
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be Would you want to fly or be invisible Or, perhaps, you’d rather have the power to read minds Wouldn’t that be cool
Reading minds is not as far-fetched as you might think. In fact, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have developed a wearable device that can actually express a person’s thoughts and allow them to talk to a computer-without anyone else hearing.
The device, called AlterEgo, allows a person to control a computer and ask it questions without ever saying one word. When the individual wearing the device thinks of a word or a phrase but does not speak it, AlterEgo picks up the neuromuscular (神经肌肉) signals in that person’s jaw and face. AlterEgo sends those signals to a computer, which is programmed to associate them with specific words.
The device is fairly accurate. Inal0-person trial, AlterEgo had a92percent transcription (转录) accuracy. Researchers say that number will increase over time. “Our idea was: Could we have a computing platform that’s more internal, that combines human and machine in some ways and that feels like an internal extension of our own thoughts ” Arnav Kapur, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab said.
So what effect could this have on communication AlterEgo can change the way humans interact with computers, allowing us to silently connect with AI assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa, Google’s Assistant or Apple’s Siri without anyone knowing. If a person is having a conversation and wants to look up a bit of information, they don’t have to take out their digital device; instead they can just think of the question. AlterEgo will answer without interrupting the conversation. The device can also help people communicate in noisy situations, such as on a factory floor in the airport.
12. Why are the questions raised in paragraph 1
A. To ask readers for their opinions. B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To inspire readers’ imagination. D. To show the author’s curiosity.
13. What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. The questions. B. The computers. C. The signals. D. The words.
14. What influence will AlterEgo have on people’s communication
A. People can apply AI assistants skillfully.
B. People will make good mind-readers.
C. People no longer need mobile phones.
D. People can communicate more smoothly.
15. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text’
A AlterEgo Frees People of Thinking. B. Wearable Device Controls Computer.
C. Silent Reader of Your Mind Comes True. D. Communication Is Easy with AI Assistants.

____19____ First, you’ll gain a greater respect for them. Second, if you take time to understand your parents, you’ll get your way much more often. If they feel that you understand them, they’ll be more willing to listen to you, they’ll be more flexible, and they’ll trust you more.
____20____ Start by asking them some questions. When’s the last time you asked your mom or dad, “How was your day today ” or “Tell me what you like and don’t like about your job” or “Is there anything I could do to help around the house ”

47. 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。
Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible.
“Why are you in such a hurry, early bird ” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum,” Peter said. “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution,” Mr. White said.
“So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down.
Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!”
Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment,” Peter thought.
After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribusion” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “C-O-N-T-R-I-B-U-S-I-O-N,” he whispered. He spelled it wrong.
“What am I to do ” Peter said to himself. “I expect my classmates to think I’m a master at spelling. If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie.”
Staring at the full marks written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph1:
Slowly,Peter raised his hand.
