Nothing seems to brighten up a room faster than a bouquet of flowers. While bringing a touch of nature inside, fresh flowers make a room look and smell better. Perhaps that’s why people who are limited to hospital rooms appreciate flowers so much.
Larsen Jay experienced this for himself. After falling from a building in 2007, Jay was in the hospital for weeks. He faced numerous surgeries and began losing hope. Jay’s friends and family members, though, came to his rescue. They delivered fresh flowers each day and something wonderful happened. Jay’s mood began to improve, and he looked forward to the future with increased hope.
He soon realized that others around him weren’t receiving the same type of emotional support. This drove him to go from room to room, giving away his flowers. The results were amazing! He found that people’s misery quickly turned to happiness.
After leaving the hospital, Jay couldn’t forget the power of his flowers. Within six months, he came up with the idea for Random Acts of Flowers.
Random Acts of Flowers accepts donations of previously used flowers, often from weddings, and rearranges them. The flowers are then given to people in hospitals and nursing homes. In their first year, the organization served fewer than 100 people. But by 2018 they had given out close to 300,000 bouquets.
According to many studies, fresh flowers and plants can help with the healing process. A Harvard study found that flowers bring health benefits, including reduced stress. A different study found that patients with flowers had shorter hospital stays and lower levels of pain. A 2001 Rutgers study discovered that flowers help reduce depression. The University of Tennessee Medical Center did a study on Random Acts of Flowers in 2016. Almost 95 percent of the patients who had received flowers reported an improvement in their emotional condition.
Time spent in hospitals and nursing homes is no bed of roses. But groups like Random Acts of Flowers are making a difference. They give away fresh flowers to show kindness and promote healing.
5. Why did Larsen Jay have to stay in hospital for a long time
A. Because he got injured in an accident.
B. Because he wanted to cheer others up.
C. Because he had to look after other patients.
D. Because he needed to carry out operations.
6. What inspired Jay to set up Random Acts of Flowers
A. The frequency of his friends’ visit.
B. The flowers he gave out to others.
C. The changes of other patients when they got flowers.
D. The experiences of his own when he received flowers.
7. How does the author organize Paragraph 6
A. By listing statistics.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By quoting research results.
D. By analyzing cause and effect.
8. What can we learn about Random Acts of Flowers
A. It is well received.
B. It cures the patients.
C. It needs more support.
D. It is highly profitable.
C
Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online in search of just the right fit. Sounds like an impossible task, doesn’t it Not anymore — artificial intelligence (AI) stylists make such a task possible.
An AI stylist is a computer algorithm (算法) that can put together outfits. It works by scouring the internet in a very similar way to the Google search engine. The program searches for clothing images on fashion blogs, online stores and social media, collecting thousands of outfits created by human stylists. The program can also “read” text and pick out important details about each article of clothing. Both the images and text are stored in a data set from which the AI stylist makes fashion suggestions for people based on their personal preferences.
An AI stylist can collect tens of thousands of outfits to display to millions of shoppers online. This data set of outfits is constantly updated and controlled by a team of people. The team helps the computer improve the algorithms which in turn helps the AI stylist put together better outfits for a customer.
An AI stylist displays outfits and fittings based on a customer’s desires, but it can also suggest things that may be a little out of the customer’s comfort zone. People are often willing to try something new if they are following styling advice.
An AI stylist can run into trouble when people of different cultures use it. What is trendy in Asia can be very different from what is fashionable in Europe. AI stylists keep up with the latest trends in different countries and then change the program for different panies can create a set of guidelines for the AI stylist to use, which can be adjusted by country to reflect preferences for different styles.
An Al stylist must also keep up with “fashion rules”. For example, big-sleeved tops do not go with skinny fit blazers. It is difficult for the AI stylist to recognize “rules” like these. So a different AI model that can recognize the cut, style and color of garments adds that information to the database.
AI stylists have been tested against real stylists and fashion influencers and have received positive feedback. Maybe someday we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI consultant first.
9. How can an AI stylist choose the suitable outfit from plentiful ones
A. By its reading abilities. B. By its supporting team.
C. By its powerful algorithm. D. By its connection to the internet.
10. Why does an AI stylist recommend slightly different styles from the users’ familiar ones
A. Because the algorithms need updating.
B. Because AI stylists are testing customers’ feedback.
C. Because people usually accept professional suggestions.
D. Because AI stylists have not read the users’ preferences.
11. What problem might AI stylists have
A. They may fall behind the fashion.
B. They cannot be accessible in some countries.
C. They cannot recognize the styles of some clothes.
D. They may be unable to understand some fashion rules.
12. Which of the following words best describes the future of AI stylists
A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Predictable. D. Promising.
13. What is the most suitable title for the passage
A. AI VS. Humans B. How to Choose a Proper AI
C. AI: Changing How You Look D. Warning: AI Replacing Stylists

When I was nine, my greatest desire in life was to own a po go stick (蹦蹦跷). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of stilts (高跷) my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I also learnt to use the pogo stick, the circus would want to hire me. When the new year season came around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a po go stick. My mother, however, told me they were too expensive and that our family simply couldn’t afford one.
A couple of weeks before the new year, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to bank to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ ll be right back, I need to see something in the tool department.” Soon my dad came back with a long thin box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a po go stick in that box.
When we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the barn (车库). While my parents were busy with their chores, I sneaked in the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny po go stick would appear. But... No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom (扫把)! And so the New Year’s Day was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the one that I really wanted.
注意：续写词数应为90 词左右。
After all the gifts were opened, my dad said he needed to do something in the barn.

Imagine looking through 3.7 million outfits online in search of just the right fit. Sounds like an impossible task, doesn’t it Not anymore — artificial intelligence (AI) stylists make such a task possible.
An AI stylist is a computer algorithm (算法) that can put together outfits. It works by scouring the internet in a very similar way to the Google search engine. The program searches for clothing images on fashion blogs, online stores and social media, collecting thousands of outfits created by human stylists. The program can also “read” text and pick out important details about each article of clothing. Both the images and text are stored in a data set from which the AI stylist makes fashion suggestions for people based on their personal preferences.
An AI stylist can collect tens of thousands of outfits to display to millions of shoppers online. This data set of outfits is constantly updated and controlled by a team of people. The team helps the computer improve the algorithms which in turn helps the AI stylist put together better outfits for a customer.
An AI stylist displays outfits and fittings based on a customer’s desires, but it can also suggest things that may be a little out of the customer’s comfort zone. People are often willing to try something new if they are following styling advice.
An AI stylist can run into trouble when people of different cultures use it. What is trendy in Asia can be very different from what is fashionable in Europe. AI stylists keep up with the latest trends in different countries and then change the program for different panies can create a set of guidelines for the AI stylist to use, which can be adjusted by country to reflect preferences for different styles.
An Al stylist must also keep up with “fashion rules”. For example, big-sleeved tops do not go with skinny fit blazers. It is difficult for the AI stylist to recognize “rules” like these. So a different AI model that can recognize the cut, style and color of garments adds that information to the database.
AI stylists have been tested against real stylists and fashion influencers and have received positive feedback. Maybe someday we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI consultant first.
9. How can an AI stylist choose the suitable outfit from plentiful ones
A. By its reading abilities. B. By its supporting team.
C. By its powerful algorithm. D. By its connection to the internet.
10. Why does an AI stylist recommend slightly different styles from the users’ familiar ones
A. Because the algorithms need updating.
B. Because AI stylists are testing customers’ feedback.
C. Because people usually accept professional suggestions.
D. Because AI stylists have not read the users’ preferences.
11. What problem might AI stylists have
A. They may fall behind the fashion.
B. They cannot be accessible in some countries.
C. They cannot recognize the styles of some clothes.
D. They may be unable to understand some fashion rules.
12. Which of the following words best describes the future of AI stylists
A. Uncertain. B. Doubtful. C. Predictable. D. Promising.
13. What is the most suitable title for the passage
A. AI VS. Humans B. How to Choose a Proper AI

The program searches for clothing images on fashion blogs, online stores and social media, collecting thousands of outfits created by human stylists. The program can also “read” text and pick out important details about each article of clothing. Both the images and text are stored in a data set from which the AI stylist makes fashion suggestions for people based on their personal preferences. (人工智能造型师是一种可以组合服装的计算机算法。它的工作原理与谷歌搜索引擎非常相似。该程序在时尚博客、在线商店和社交媒体上搜索服装图片，收集由真人造型师设计的数千套服装。该程序还可以“阅读”文字，挑选出每件衣服的重要细节。图像和文本都存储在一个数据集中，人工智能造型师根据人们的个人喜好为他们提供时尚建议)”可知，AI造型师通过其强大的算法从众多服装中选择合适的服装。故选C。

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“AI stylists have been tested against real stylists and fashion influencers and have received positive feedback. Maybe someday we won’t put together an outfit without using our AI consultant first.(人工智能造型师已经与真正的造型师和时尚影响者进行了测试，并获得了积极的反馈。也许有一天，在没有人工智能顾问的情况下，我们就无法组装一套服装)”可推知，AI造型师的未来是有前途的。故选D。

When the other person is talking, listen to them. Do not interrupt. When they finish, ask some more questions, and listen to the answers. Similarly, if you are answering a question, don’t go on and on. ___17___ A good verbal exchange is a little like a tennis game, in which the ball goes back and forth. Also, avoid yes/no questions. They can stop a conversation. Instead, ask open-ended questions using what or why.
A conversation should end well, too. After you’ve conversed for a bit, you can say, “I need to run now.” You may also give a reason. ___18___
Now go out and enjoy a good conversation.
A. Give an answer and stop.
B. But not every conversation is good.

考查定语从句。句意：作文一项众所周知的民间活动，舞狮传统上认为它能带来繁荣和好运，在节日场合经常可以看到舞狮表演。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，修饰activity，从句中作主语，指物，用关系代词which或者that，故填which/that。
【50题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：伴随着锣鼓声，身着狮装的舞者们跳来跳去，展现出令人惊叹的功夫和杂技技巧。分析句子可知，dress作定语修饰dancers，二者之间是被动关系，用过去分词作定语，故填dressed。
【51题详解】
考查冠词。句意：人们对这种特殊舞蹈的表演报以热烈的掌声，这总是有助于营造一种弥漫在空气中的节日气氛。根据句意，此处泛指“一种节日气氛”festive首字母的发音为辅音音素，故填a。
【52题详解】
考查时态语态。句意：20世界90年代，高钢管舞狮在佛山市南海区被引进推广。分析句子可知，introduce作谓语，由时间状语In the 1990s可知，描述过去发生的事情用一般过去时，主语dancing与introduce是被动关系，且主语是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，故填was introduced。
【53题详解】
考查介词。句意：与传统舞狮不同，它有自己独特的规则。different from“与……不同”是固定短语，故填from。
【54题详解】
考查名词。句意：表演者不是在地面上跳跃，而是在一到三米高的杆子上跳跃。分析句子可知，此处用名词作主语，根据句意，表示不止一个表演者，用复数，故填Performers。
【55题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：此外，两个杆子之间的空间也各不相同。分析句子可知，vary作谓语，描述一般事实，用一般现在时，主语space是第三人称单数，谓语动词用单数，故填varies。
【56题详解】
考查连词。句意：钢杆通常设置在可以展示舞者技巧的地方，同时观众也可以享受安全且令人满意的观看体验。根据句意，前后文是并列关系，故填and。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：在杆子上如此活跃地表演凶猛的狮子的舞蹈时，平衡并不容易。分析句子可知，it是形式主语，真正的主语用不定式形式，故填to balance。
【58题详解】
考查副词。句意通上。修饰动词performing用复数作状语，故填actively。

【答案】Dear Mr. Sackett,
I’m Li Hua, a student from your English class. I’m writing to request your guidance on our script written for a short English play.
Our play is adapted from the classic novel The Steamboat in the textbook. The play is set in a big storm after midnight. On the raft down the river navigation, we see a steamboat that is going to sink. We save a scared boy.
However, the adaption is quite a challenge. Having written the English script, we found our conversations rigid and unappealing, but we didn’t know how to revise them. So would you please spare some time to review the draft script attached to this email and make necessary changes Given your busy schedule, I’d be very appreciative if you could offer to give some professional advice. Look forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua

第三节 读后续写(满分15分)
65. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was nine, my greatest desire in life was to own a po go stick (蹦蹦跷). I had recently learned to walk on a pair of stilts (高跷) my dad had made for me, and I thought that if I also learnt to use the pogo stick, the circus would want to hire me. When the new year season came around, I told my mother that the only thing I wanted was a po go stick. My mother, however, told me they were too expensive and that our family simply couldn’t afford one.
A couple of weeks before the new year, my mom and dad told me we needed to go to bank to pay our credit bill. While my mother and I were at the counter paying the bill, my dad said, “I’ ll be right back, I need to see something in the tool department.” Soon my dad came back with a long thin box. I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a po go stick in that box.
When we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the barn (车库). While my parents were busy with their chores, I sneaked in the barn and found the box. I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box, my bright, shiny po go stick would appear. But... No such luck! Inside the box was a silly old broom (扫把)! And so the New Year’s Day was both great and disappointing. I got some nice gifts but I didn’t get the one that I really wanted.
注意：续写词数应为90 词左右。
After all the gifts were opened, my dad said he needed to do something in the barn.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】After all the gifts were opened, my dad said he needed to do something in the barn. I followed him secretly, wondering if he was going to bring out the po go stick. But to my disappointment, he just picked up the broom I had opened earlier. He brought it into the house and presented it to me, saying that it could be my new toy. I was confused and upset, thinking that he had played a trick on me. However, my dad encouraged me to try it out and see if I could have fun with it. Reluctantly, I started jumping on the broom, and to my surprise, I discovered that it was actually quite fun to play with.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者特别渴望得到一个蹦蹦跷，却得到了一把扫帚的故事。作者认为有时候我们得到的礼物并不是我们想要的，但是如果我们愿意尝试和欣赏，我们可能会发现它们其实很有价值。
【详解】1.段落续写：
由所给段首句内容“在所有的礼物都被打开后，我爸爸说他需要在谷仓里做点什么。”可知，本段可描写作者得到的礼物是扫帚，而作者的爸爸告诉作者扫帚也可以很好玩。
2.续写线索：作者9岁时特别希望拥有一个蹦蹦跷，这样自己就可以在马戏团工作——但是，作者家并不富裕，作者的父母买不起一个蹦蹦跷——作者的父亲在付完信用卡账单后，悄悄买了一个礼物——作者很希望能够是一个蹦蹦跷，但是偷看后发现盒子里是一把扫帚——最后，作者的父亲告诉作者扫帚也可以很好玩，在父亲的鼓励下，作者试了试扫帚，发现确实很有趣
