I love travelling, but it hasn’t always been my passion. In my first year of university, I started to travel during the holiday. During the Christmas holiday I went to Paris, and during the spring vacation, I visited Athens and various cities in Italy. I was very excited because this was the first time I had travelled abroad with just my friends. This desire to travel started off simply as a way to have something to look forward to after exams, but I soon discovered how important it is to travel.
On my travels I have had the opportunity to not only experience new and exciting cultures through the art, history, language and food, but also communicate with people who have different views on life. Travelling is a learning experience for both yourself and the people you meet. Some people I met during my travels had never heard of Gambia and it was very delightful to share my African roots with them. When you travel you will meet people who have different cultural backgrounds and as a result, sometimes your own ideas and opinions might be challenged. Ifs important to learn to see things from other people’s perspectives (观点) and to challenge your own.
This is how I realized that travelling is the realization of home. When you I ravel you are exposed to a different setting, a different language and a different way of living. All these factors, mixed with a new and exciting adventure，make you realize your own home. Not just the physical location of home, but also your way of life and your outlook.
Travelling is truly an enriching experience and I am always excited about the discoveries that wait for me in my next adventure!
4. Why was the author excited when he was in Italy
A. Because it was the first time for him to go abroad with friends.
B. Because luckily he met his old friends there.
C. Because he was attracted by the beauty of the country.
D. Because he had never gone abroad before.
5. What does the author often do during his travels
A. He has chances to know people with rich knowledge.
B. He is curious to know why there are so many languages.
C He learns a lot in many ways from the people he meets.
D. He shares his travelling experiences with foreign friends.
6. What can we infer from the second paragraph
A. The author is a student from an American country.
B. The author’s roots probably are in Gambia.
C The author often has different opinions from others.
D. The author knows nothing about African history.
7. What will the author do in the future

One Concern is an AI company (人工智能公司) in California. It is using machine learning and AI to help firefighters. The company hopes its software (软件) can make exact predictions about earthquake damage. It can tell firefighters how to plan for an earthquake and how to do their jobs better when it happens.
Nicole Hu, a technology officer from One Concern, says the key is to feed the computers a lot of data (数据) about an area. The data may include information about homes and other buildings, the natural environment, and the size of an earthquake. The computers then use the information to make predictions about what would happen if there were an earthquake in the area. It then uses data from past earthquakes to see whether its predictions are any good, and changes its predictive models accordingly.
Gregory Deierlein, earthquake engineer at the Stanford University, says one of the most surprising things about the company’s software is its ability to make use of data from an earthquake as it’s happening, and to change its predictions in real time.
In the past, researchers would collect data after an event and a few years later they’d produce new models, says Deierlein. Now the new models appear in a matter of minutes.
Dan Ghiorso leads the Woodside Fire Protection District (区) near San Francisco, which covers about 32 square miles. He says in the past, when an earthquake hit, he’d have to make educated guesses (based on experience and training) about what parts of this district might be badly damaged and then drive to each place to have a look around. He hopes One Concerns’ software will change that. “Instead of driving thirty-two square miles, in fifteen minutes on a computer I can get a good idea of the damage,” he says. ‘‘Instead of me taking my educated guess, they’re putting science behind the predictive models.”
8. What do we know about the software’s predictions
A. They can tell people the size of an earthquake.
B. They are about when an earthquake may happen.
C. They are based on data from many different areas.
D. They can be made before and during an earthquake.
9. What is an advantage of the software according to Deierlein
A. It can make predictions very fast. B. It is sold at very low prices.
C. It has many different uses. D. It can be used by common people.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to
A. How to save people during earthquakes.
B. How Ghiorso gets to know earthquake damage.
C. How to train firefighters to make guesses.
D. How Ghiorso looks at new predictive models.
11. How does Ghiorso feel about the new technology
A. Worried. B. Uncaring. C. Hopeful. D. Doubtful.
D
For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco. It is a place where Cantonese speakers from South China have moved for over 150 years. But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes. Cantonese is spoken by some 85 million people worldwide. In comparison, there are around 1 billion Mandarin (or Putonghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London. “Many parents want their kids to be able to communicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just so hard here, there are so few learning resources and lots of parents get upset. That’s usually the point the parents come to me.”
In China, there are Cantonese television programs as well as Cantonese announcements on public transport. In Hong Kong, however, Cantonese remains the city’s top language. It is used by 90 percent of the population according to an assistant professor at the Education University of Hong Kong.
It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available. This spring, some independent Chinese schools are helping to teach the language as Cantonese-speaking communities grow. Aleyda Poe has been managing the Cantonese kindergarten at Merit Chinese School in Plano, Texas, for more than 10 years. Poe put her two sons in the school so that they could learn about Cantonese language and culture. Now, she is helping other families do the same.
12. What are the Cantonese speakers worried about
A. Survival of Cantonese language and culture. B. Increasing social changes in San Francisco.
C. More and more Mandarin speakers worldwide. D. Less Cantonese speakers in South China.
13. How does Ceci Pang help to handle Cantonese learning in London
A. By visiting and talking with local families. B. By organizing language classes for kids
C. By reducing Chinese culture teaching at schools D. By using unlimited online resources
14. What is implied about Cantonese learning both in China and the U. S.
A. San Francisco is a city with the most Cantonese learners
B. Cantonese is learnt by 90 percent of the population in China
C. Learning resources and opportunities are limited in the U. S.
D. There are no Cantonese learning programs in San Francisco
15. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Importance to improve Cantonese learning globally.
B. Current status of Cantonese learning overseas
C. A brief introduction to Cantonese learning history in U. S.
D. Debates between Cantonese and Mandarin learning

He says in the past, when an earthquake hit, he’d have to make educated guesses (based on experience and training) about what parts of this district might be badly damaged and then drive to each place to have a look around. He hopes One Concerns’ software will change that. “Instead of driving thirty-two square miles, in fifteen minutes on a computer I can get a good idea of the damage,” he says. ‘‘Instead of me taking my educated guess, they’re putting science behind the predictive models.”
8. What do we know about the software’s predictions
A. They can tell people the size of an earthquake.
B. They are about when an earthquake may happen.
C. They are based on data from many different areas.
D. They can be made before and during an earthquake.
9. What is an advantage of the software according to Deierlein
A. It can make predictions very fast. B. It is sold at very low prices.
C. It has many different uses. D. It can be used by common people.
10. What does the underlined word “that” in the last paragraph refer to
A. How to save people during earthquakes.
B. How Ghiorso gets to know earthquake damage.
C. How to train firefighters to make guesses.
D. How Ghiorso looks at new predictive models.
11. How does Ghiorso feel about the new technology

【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一款人工智能软件，该软件能够预测地震造成的损失，实时改变预测，它将成为救援人员的好帮手。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“The company hopes its software(软件) can make exact predictions about earthquake damage.(该公司希望其软件能够准确预测地震破坏)”可知，该软件能够预测地震的损失，再根据第三段中的“Gregory Deierlein, earthquake engineer at the Stanford University, says one of the most surprising things about the company’s software is its ability to make use of data from an earthquake as it’s happening, and to change its predictions in real time.(斯坦福大学地震工程师Gregory Deierlein表示，该公司的软件最令人惊讶的事情之一是它能够利用地震发生时的数据，并实时改变其预测)”可知，该软件还能够利用地震数据实施改变其预测。由此推知，该软件可是在地震前和地震发生时进行预测。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In the past, researchers would collect data after an event and a few years later they’d produce new models, says Deierlein. Now the new models appear in a matter of minutes.(Deierlein说，在过去，研究人员会在事件发生后收集数据，几年后他们会产生新的模型。现在，新模型在几分钟内出现)”可知，该软件预测的速度更快。故选A项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“He says in the past, when an earthquake hit, he’d have to make educated guesses (based on experience and training) about what parts of this district might be badly damaged and then drive to each place to have a look around.(他说，在过去，当地震发生时，他必须根据经验和培训对该地区的哪些部分可能受到严重破坏做出有根据的猜测，然后开车到每个地方看看)”可知，在过去地震发生的时候，需要根据经验和培训的内容猜测地震的损失，还要驱车到每个地方看看损失的情况，所以Dan Ghiorso对过去了解地震损失的方式不满，他希望新的软件能够改变这种模式，所以that指代的内容即为“了解地震损失的方式”。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Instead of driving thirty-two square miles, in fifteen minutes on a computer I can get a good idea of the damage,” he says. (“而不是在电脑上行驶三十二平方英里，在十五分钟内，我可以很好地了解损坏情况，”他说)”可知，Ghiorso希望这种软件能够在15分钟内对损失作出分析，不再使用猜测的方式。由此推知，Ghiorso对这种新的软件预测损失的方式抱有很大的希望。故选C项。
D
For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco. It is a place where Cantonese speakers from South China have moved for over 150 years. But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes. Cantonese is spoken by some 85 million people worldwide. In comparison, there are around 1 billion Mandarin (or Putonghua) speakers.
In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London. “Many parents want their kids to be able to communicate with their grandparents,” she said. “It’s just so hard here, there are so few learning resources and lots of parents get upset. That’s usually the point the parents come to me.”
In China, there are Cantonese television programs as well as Cantonese announcements on public transport. In Hong Kong, however, Cantonese remains the city’s top language. It is used by 90 percent of the population according to an assistant professor at the Education University of Hong Kong.
It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available. This spring, some independent Chinese schools are helping to teach the language as Cantonese-speaking communities grow. Aleyda Poe has been managing the Cantonese kindergarten at Merit Chinese School in Plano, Texas, for more than 10 years. Poe put her two sons in the school so that they could learn about Cantonese language and culture. Now, she is helping other families do the same.
12. What are the Cantonese speakers worried about
A Survival of Cantonese language and culture. B. Increasing social changes in San Francisco.
C. More and more Mandarin speakers worldwide. D. Less Cantonese speakers in South China.
13. How does Ceci Pang help to handle Cantonese learning in London
A. By visiting and talking with local families. B. By organizing language classes for kids
C. By reducing Chinese culture teaching at schools D. By using unlimited online resources
14. What is implied about Cantonese learning both in China and the U. S.
A. San Francisco is a city with the most Cantonese learners
B. Cantonese is learnt by 90 percent of the population in China
C. Learning resources and opportunities are limited in the U. S.
D. There are no Cantonese learning programs in San Francisco
15. Which can be the suitable title for the text
A. Importance to improve Cantonese learning globally.
B. Current status of Cantonese learning overseas
C. A brief introduction to Cantonese learning history in U. S.
D. Debates between Cantonese and Mandarin learning
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了海外学习粤语的现状和存在的问题。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But now, there is fear that the Cantonese language and culture might not survive present social changes.(但现在，有人担心粤语和粤语文化可能无法在当前的社会变革中生存下来)”可知，说粤语的人在担心粤语和粤语文化的保存。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Ceci Pang runs classes for children at Rainbow Seeds Cantonese School in London.(Ceci Pang在伦敦彩虹种子粤语学校为孩子们开设课程)”可知，Ceci Pang为孩子们组织语言课程来帮助学生在伦敦学习粤语。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture.(在英国，和美国一样，大多数提供汉语的学校通常教授普通话。因此，许多家庭都在努力寻找方法来传承他们的粤语和文化。)”和最后一段“It is a different story in the U. S. The teaching of Cantonese has decreased somewhat, including in San Francisco, a city that has drawn many Cantonese speakers over the years. The San Francisco school system has Cantonese and Mandarin programs for younger students. But in high school, Mandarin is the only Chinese language available.(美国的情况则不同。粤语教学有所减少，包括在旧金山，这座城市多年来吸引了许多讲粤语的人。旧金山的学校系统为低年级学生开设了粤语和普通话课程。但在高中，普通话是唯一可用的中文)”可推知，有关粤语，在美国，学习资源和机会是有限的。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“For years, learning to speak Cantonese was not that hard in San Francisco.(多年来，在旧金山学广东话并不是那么难)”以及第二段“In Britain, as in the U. S., most schools that offer Chinese usually teach Mandarin. As a result, many families are struggling to find ways to pass on their Cantonese language and culture. (在英国，就像在美国一样，大多数提供中文课程的学校通常都教授普通话。因此，许多家庭都在努力寻找传承粤语和广东文化的方法)”结合文章主要说明了海外学习粤语的现状和存在的问题。可知，B选项“海外学习粤语的现状”最符合文章标题。故选B。

55. It is really ________ (annoy) that we made the same mistake last time. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】annoying
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意：我们上次犯了同样的错误，真是令人生气。空处应用形容词作表语。It作形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句，所以这里应用修饰物的-ing形式的形容词annoying，意为“令人气恼的”。故填annoying。
B. 根据括号内的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词的正确形式完成句子。(共6小题,每空1分，满分15分)
56. Jim has been working hard and ________ _________ ________ (期待) spending his vacation lying on the beach doing nothing. (look) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. looking ②. forward ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：吉姆一直在努力工作，期待着躺在海滩上无所事事地度过假期。根据中英文提示，这里应用look forward to表示“期待”。and连接并列的结构，根据and前的working hard可知，这里应用现在分词，和前面的has been一起构成现在完成进行时。故填looking；forward；to。
57. The owners must use items that ________ ________ ________ (对……适合的) the family. (suit) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. are ②. suitable ③. for
【解析】
【详解】考查时态和主谓一致。句意：业主必须使用适合家庭的物品。根据设空处和汉语提示，这里应用固定短语be suitable for，表示“对……适合”。根据句意，这里陈述的是要求，应用一般现在时。定语从句主语that指代先行词items，表示复数，从句谓语应用复数形式。故填are suitable for。
58. He didn’t talk much, but what he said ________ ________ (有道理). (make) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. made ②. sense
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和时态。句意：他话不多，但他说的有道理。根据中英文提示，这里应用make sense，为固定搭配，意为“有道理”。根据句中的didn’t talk和said可知，这里表示过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时。故填made；sense。
59. He should ________ ________ ________ (让步) a younger, more decisive leader. (give) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. give ②. way ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意：他应该让位于一位更年轻、更果断的领导人。根据中英文提示，这里应用固定短语 give way to，意为“让位于，让步于”。空前有情态动词should，这里应用动词原形。故填give；way；to。
60. It’s really surprising to be able to see a ________ _______ (火山爆发) in the middle of a city. (erupt) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. volcanic ②. eruption
【解析】
【详解】考查名词短语。句意：能在城市中心看到火山喷发真是令人惊讶。根据中英文提示可知，应为形容词“火山的”volcanic作定语修饰名词“爆发”eruption，整个名词短语作“see”的宾语。故填volcanic eruption。
61. After ________ ________ (登记 ) at the airport, he told his parents when he would arrive. (check) (根据中英文提示完成句子)
【答案】 ①. checking ②. in
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和非谓语动词。句意：在机场办理登机手续后，他告诉父母他什么时候到达。根据中英文提示，这里应用固定短语check in，意为“登记”，为不及物动词短语，且其前有介词After，所以这里应用动名词作宾语。故填checking；in。
