W: Very good, sir. In this neighborhood, most of the houses have three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Apartments can range from 2-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms.
M: That’s interesting. Why is there so much variety in apartments but not houses
W: All the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 1950s. Back then, they were all considering a particular family size, so they all have a similar style.
M: I see. Well, we are looking for something that is clean and, most importantly, in a safe area. Our budget is about $2500 a month.
W: Well, this neighborhood is very safe, sir, so you’ll have no problems. But $2500 won’t really be able to get you a house or the bigger apartments, I’m afraid.
M: As long as there are two bedrooms, we’ll be fine.
W: Well, I’m seeing about a few places that meet your needs. If you don’t mind waiting until tomorrow afternoon, I can take you to look at them.
M: Great!

He taught French and German, but he really spoke English quite well. It was funny because I was the only student in his class — it was really a private lesson. I had an excellent coursebook. I still keep a copy of it. The front cover was red with a lovely picture, and it was very modern. Learning English was quite easy for me because the teacher was so good and he helped a lot. Also, I’m quite good at learning languages. It was really enjoyable to have classes. I loved the sound of the words. I felt really proud when my spelling improved day by day and I could read a short story. In middle school, English was still my favorite subject. I even stayed in America for one year as an exchange student. I learned a lot there, not only English but different cultures.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
New England holds some special museums. They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building.
Norman Rockwell Museum
Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A.M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks.
Kids 16 and under: free; adults: $20; the old: at a 10% discount (折扣)
Edward Gorey House
Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was an artist, but he was also an author and clothes designer. Gorey bought this 18th-century house in 1979 and lived there for the rest of his life. Edward Gorey House is also known as the Elephant House. Gorey had respect for animals. The activities of the house, from art education to exhibits, show Gorey's support of animal well-being.
Gibert Stuart Birthplace and Museum
Gilbert Stuart (1755-1828) is responsible for what may well be the most familiar work of any American artist, His drawing of George is the basis of the first president’s portrait (画像) on the dollar. Stuart painted more than a thousand portraits throughout his life.

People often go to cafes to relax themselves and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage（按摩）chair, and take a nap.
Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated.

You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”. You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.
Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.

Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas(煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You’ll need food, water and so on. It’s also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
If you’re indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you’re in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you’re outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you’re driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve(阀). If there’s sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况).Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right ,generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
28. What is advised to do before an earthquake
A. Making a date with your family the way of reuniting.
B. Preparing enough food for more than a week.
C. Making sure of your telephones in hand.
D. Calling your distant relatives to help.
29. What is the main idea of paragraph three
A. Never drive when in earthquake. B. Keep calm when in earthquake.
C. Never run away when in earthquake. D. Do and don’t when in earthquake.
30. Why is asked to close the main valves and control boxes
A. To reduce the resources. B. To avoid the possible fire.
C To better the environment. D. To avoid the outbreak of earthquake.
31. What will we do after an earthquake
A. It’s a good idea to drive to a safe place. B. Stay near a door to protect you.
C. Get hold of the latest information. D. Call everyone to help you.
【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. C
【解析】

Machine learning is a way of teaching computers to do tasks. In the past, to do anything computers depended on detailed, step-by-step instructions written by a person. But with machine learning, computers pick up new skills on their own, using examples or experience. This makes machine learning a powerful form of artificial intelligence, or AI. AI is the ability of a machine to think or learn like a person. AI systems power many kinds of machines—from smartphones to robots.
There are a few types of machine learning. The most common is supervised (监督) learning. In this method, a computer is fed lots of labeled (标记的) training data. For example, it may look at many photos of dogs. Each photo might be labeled with the dog’s breed (品种). By studying those photos, the computer learns what each breed looks like. Then, the computer can pick out dog breeds in new, unlabeled photos. The more data the computer studies, the better it gets at its task.
Another important kind of machine learning is reinforcement (强化) learning. Using this type of learning is kind of like training your dog. The computer learns to achieve some goal by interacting (互动) with its environment. When the computer makes a choice that brings it closer to its goal, it gets a virtual reward (虚拟奖励). Through trial and error, the computer learns to make better choices. This type of machine learning has helped computers master difficult games like Go and StarCraft Ⅱ. It has also been used to teach self-driving cars how to get around.
Machine learning has helped create technology all around us. It powers language translators and search engines. Machine learning systems also organise posts in social media (社交媒体) feeds. They even help diagnose (诊断) diseases. In many ways, the problem-solving power of machine learning is reshaping the world.
32. What does the underlined phrase “pick up” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Beg. B. Explore. C. Require. D. Master.
33. Why does the author mention dog training in paragraph 3
A. To encourage self-learning. B. To show the love for dogs.
C. To explain an idea clearly. D. To voice his views on AI.
34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards machine learning
A. Positive. B. Disagreeable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
35. What can we learn about machine learning
A. It’s different from AI technology. B. It makes us further know dog’s breed.
C. It will take place of human translator. D. It has been applied widely in daily life.
【答案】32. D 33. C 34. A 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器学习的概念、分类和应用。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“Machine learning is a way of teaching computers to do tasks. In the past, to do anything computers depended on detailed, step-by-step instructions written by a person. But with machine learning, computers pick up new skills on their own, using examples or experience. This makes machine learning a powerful form of artificial intelligence, or AI. AI is the ability of a machine to think or learn like a person. AI systems power many kinds of machines—from smartphones to robots. (机器学习是教计算机完成任务的一种方式。在过去，计算机做任何事情都依赖于一个人写的详细的、循序渐进的指令。但有了机器学习，计算机就可以通过例子或经验自己pick up新技能。这使得机器学习成为人工智能的一种强大形式。人工智能是机器像人一样思考或学习的能力。从智能手机到机器人，人工智能系统为多种机器提供动力。)”可知，有了机器学习，计算机就可以通过例子或经验自己掌握新技能，所以pick up的意思应该是“掌握”，和选项D意思一致。故选D。

【36题详解】
由小标题“Relax yourself(放松自己)”，上一句“Before listening, it’s necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. (在听之前，有必要保持一种平和的心态)”和下一句“If that doesn’t work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent. (如果这不管用，喝点水或者用冷水洗脸在一定程度上会对你有帮助)”可知，做听力时，要放松，即不要紧张或焦虑，但如果紧张或焦虑了，就要保持心态平和，此处应该讲保持心态平和的方法，和下一句一样讲不要紧张或焦虑、保持心态平和的方法，承接上下文，G选项“如果你感到紧张或焦虑，试着深呼吸让自己平静下来。”切题。故选G项。
【37题详解】
由下一句“As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. (一旦听力开始，集中精力听，不要想其他任何事情)”可知，后文一直建议读者在听力开始时，要注意听，承接下文，A选项“专注于倾听。”切题。故选A项。
【38题详解】
由小标题“Grasp the main idea”(把握主旨)和上两句“And it’s normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don’t need to understand it completely. (包括一些不必要的信息是很正常的。然而，你不需要完全理解它)”可知，在听听力时，文章会有一些不必要信息，你是没必要去完全理解的，但本段中心是“把握主旨”，所以无视这些不必要信息时，你的重心还是要把握主旨，得到听力材料的要点和中心大意，承接上文，F选项“相反，只需注意要点和总体思路。”切题。故选F项。
【39题详解】
由小标题“Ignore the new words(忽略生词)”和下一句“It’s mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening. (听的时候浪费太多时间弄清楚是错误的)”可知，本段中心是要建议读者忽略听力材料中的生词，因为这样很浪费时间，所以本空应该写的是与“忽略生词”有关的东西，承接上下文，D选项“你需要做的是对生词充耳不闻。”切题。故选D项。
【40题详解】
由小标题“Develop the habit of taking notes(养成记笔记的习惯)”和上一句“In the course of listening, it’s a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. (在听的过程中，把内容写下来，把不重要的细节删掉是一个好习惯)”可知，本段建议读者在做听力时要善于做笔记，并给出了方法，删掉不重要的细节，那么只能记有关重要细节的笔记，承接上文，E选项“在听的时候列出你认为重要的东西。”切题。故选E项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了中国宇航员邓清明坚持不懈，努力实现自己的航天梦的故事。
【56题详解】
考查副词。句意：中国宇航员邓清明在担任了24年的候补宇航员之后，他的梦想终于实现了——他将和另外两名宇航员一起在神舟十五号飞船上执行他的首次太空任务。修饰动词用副词，空后come为动词，所以此处用副词finally，故填finally。
【57题详解】
考查介词。句意：中国宇航员邓清明在担任了24年的候补宇航员之后，他的梦想终于实现了——他将和另外两名宇航员一起在神舟十五号飞船上执行他的首次太空任务。短语：along with“与……一起”，结合空处前后提示，故填with。
58题详解】
考查时态。句意：直到去年10月中国发射神舟十三号飞船，56岁的邓清明的名字才为许多人所知。分析可知，空处在句中作时间状语从句中的谓语，结合从句中“in October last year”，所以空处用一般过去时，故填launched。
【59题详解】
考查动名词。句意：这位老兵的故事让许多人深受感动，尽管多年来他一直担任后备队员，但他仍坚持不懈地追求自己的太空梦想。despite“尽管”为介词，其后跟动名词。故填serving。
【60题详解】
考查比较级。句意：邓出生在中国东部江西省的一个农民家庭，有四个弟弟妹妹。根据句意可知，此处指四个弟弟妹妹，所以空处用比较级younger，故填younger。
【61题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意：作为一名勤奋的学生，邓于1984年6月加入解放军空军，并于1987年11月被分配到吉林省的一个战斗机团。and为并列连词，结合joined可知，这里的时态为一般过去时；主语Deng为第三人称单数，与动词assign为动宾关系，所以语态用被动。故填was assigned。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意：1996年，邓与另外13名飞行员一起被选入中国人民解放军空军航天员候选人名单。形容词修饰名词，结合句中“in the PLA Air Force’s ”，空前为所有格，相当于形容词，所以空处用名词selection，作宾语。故填selection。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：在接下来的几年里，邓几乎把他所有的时间都用于训练，并不遗余力地争取一个飞入太空的机会。短语：spare no effort to do sth.“为了做某事不遗余力”，所以空处用不定式表示目的，故填to strive。
【64题详解】
考查让步状语从句。句意：无论通往太空的道路有多么艰难，邓从未想过放弃。此处为“no matter+特殊疑问词”引导的让步状语从句，difficult“困难的”为形容词，所以用how，故填how。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意：2018年被中共中央宣传部授予“时代楷模”称号。title“头衔，称号”，结合句意，这里表示特指，故填the。

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。
My husband and I got to experience a total stranger's kindness and generosity first-hand during a 10-day trip across the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
On our second-to-last day in Morocco, we happily took a trip to Essaouira, an old and beautiful seaside town on the Atlantic. During the journey there, we stopped at an Argan co-operative（合作社）, where we got to taste some Argan oil and honey. After that, we headed where we stayed. We arrived at our small guesthouse in Essaouira at around dinnertime, and on our way to a local restaurants my husband started to feel unwell. He went back to our guesthouse while I had dinner with some friends.
When I got back to our guesthouse after dinner, I found my husband sitting on the bathroom floor, looking very pale. He had been sick about six times in an hour. He spent the rest of the night in the bathroom, getting very familiar with the house's pipe. Our main suspect was the Argan honey—it probably didn't agree with him.
At about 6 a. m., my husband finally managed to leave the bathroom and crawl into bed. He was very weak and dehydrated（脱水的），so I went down to the reception to buy a bottle of water. When I got to the lobby（门厅）,I found a young man behind the desk, who didn't look older than 18, and explained to him that my husband was sick and I needed to buy some bottled water for him.
Our house was very small and basic and didn't have a restaurant or cafe. The young man informed me that they didn't sell any drinks at the house, so I asked him where the nearest shop was.
I looked out the window and my heart started to race. I didn't fancy risking going into the unfamiliar streets of the Medina in the dark, all by myself. In fact, I was afraid of it.
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。
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, the young man asked me to wait for him there.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I handed him a 50 Dirham note （about 5 EUR） for the water.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, the young man asked me to wait for him there. He popped outside and disappeared in the dark quickly. I was wondering what he would do when he re appeared in about 15 minutes, out of breath and carrying a large bottle of water. You can' t imagine the relief that washed over me when I saw him, He gave me the bottle and asked me to give my husband some water quickly.
I handed him a 50 Dirham note (about 5 EUR) for the water. But he wouldn't accept any money for it despite my insistence. I was so thankful for that small gesture of kindness from a total stranger on a helpless night. I had been up all night worrying about my husband. The last thing I wanted to do was to walk through unfamiliar streets in the dark.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
New England holds some special museums. They are devoted largely or entirely to the work of just one person. And they are the artists’ birthplaces or onetime homes. Here are four examples of such museums.
Cyrus E. Dallin Art Museum
The name Cyrus E. Dallin (1861-1944) might not be familiar, but several of the artist’s sculptures (雕塑) are, especially those related to Native Americans. A good example is his “Appeal to the Great Spirit” standing in front of the Museum of Fine Arts. Born in Utah, he lived in Arlington for the final four decades of his life. The museum is in the Jefferson Cutter House, an 1830 Greek styled building.
Norman Rockwell Museum
Rockwell (1894-1978) was America’s well-known artist. The museum, founded in 1969, moved into its present location, Robert A.M. Stern-designed building in 1993. Its 998 paintings and drawings are the largest single collection of Rockwell's artworks.

Edward Gorey House

People often go to cafes to relax themselves and keep themselves from falling asleep, but Mr. Healing, a popular cafe chain in South Korea actually does the opposite. Customers can come in, order a drink, lie down a comfortable massage（按摩）chair, and take a nap.
Many Koreans suffer from a lack of sleep as a result of overworking, so any opportunity to relax and even take a nap is greatly appreciated. Mr. Healing is the perfect place to go when you’re on a short work or school break and you need to catch up on sleep. The cafe offers massage periods in various modes, depending on how much time you have and how you choose to spend it.
The 20-minute session is priced at $ 3.5, the 30-minute massage costs $ 7, and the 50-minute session is $ 9, all of which also include a drink. Once you make your choice, you are taken to the “healing center”. You are asked to take off your shoes as well as any jewelry that might damage the chairs, after which you can choose a massage mode, from “stretch” or “sleep”. You can start with stretch for a few minutes, and then switch to sleep if you want to take a short nap. After it comes to an end, you are taken back to the cafe area to enjoy a coffee or one of the many other refreshing drinks on the menu.
Mr. Healing cafes are so popular in Korea that customers are advised to make reservations in advance to be sure that a massage chair is available. “I have to sit on a chair and stare at a computer monitor all day due to my job, the healing room was truly effective to relieve tiredness and stress from weekdays,” said Park Hye-sun, a 24-year-old officer.

Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas(煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You’ll need food, water and so on. It’s also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
If you’re indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you’re in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you’re outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you’re driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve(阀). If there’s sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况).Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right ,generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.
28. What is advised to do before an earthquake
A. Making a date with your family the way of reuniting.

Machine learning is a way of teaching computers to do tasks. In the past, to do anything computers depended on detailed, step-by-step instructions written by a person. But with machine learning, computers pick up new skills on their own, using examples or experience. This makes machine learning a powerful form of artificial intelligence, or AI. AI is the ability of a machine to think or learn like a person. AI systems power many kinds of machines—from smartphones to robots.
There are a few types of machine learning. The most common is supervised (监督) learning. In this method, a computer is fed lots of labeled (标记的) training data. For example, it may look at many photos of dogs. Each photo might be labeled with the dog’s breed (品种). By studying those photos, the computer learns what each breed looks like. Then, the computer can pick out dog breeds in new, unlabeled photos. The more data the computer studies, the better it gets at its task.
Another important kind of machine learning is reinforcement (强化) learning. Using this type of learning is kind of like training your dog. The computer learns to achieve some goal by interacting (互动) with its environment. When the computer makes a choice that brings it closer to its goal, it gets a virtual reward (虚拟奖励). Through trial and error, the computer learns to make better choices. This type of machine learning has helped computers master difficult games like Go and StarCraft Ⅱ. It has also been used to teach self-driving cars how to get around.
Machine learning has helped create technology all around us. It powers language translators and search engines. Machine learning systems also organise posts in social media (社交媒体) feeds. They even help diagnose (诊断) diseases. In many ways, the problem-solving power of machine learning is reshaping the world.
32. What does the underlined phrase “pick up” in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Beg. B. Explore. C. Require. D. Master.
33. Why does the author mention dog training in paragraph 3
A. To encourage self-learning. B. To show the love for dogs.
C. To explain an idea clearly. D. To voice his views on AI.
34. Which word best describes the author’s attitude towards machine learning
A. Positive. B. Disagreeable. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
35. What can we learn about machine learning
A. It’s different from AI technology. B. It makes us further know dog’s breed.
C. It will take place of human translator. D. It has been applied widely in daily life.

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。
My husband and I got to experience a total stranger's kindness and generosity first-hand during a 10-day trip across the High Atlas Mountains and the Sahara Desert.
On our second-to-last day in Morocco, we happily took a trip to Essaouira, an old and beautiful seaside town on the Atlantic. During the journey there, we stopped at an Argan co-operative（合作社）, where we got to taste some Argan oil and honey. After that, we headed where we stayed. We arrived at our small guesthouse in Essaouira at around dinnertime, and on our way to a local restaurants my husband started to feel unwell. He went back to our guesthouse while I had dinner with some friends.
When I got back to our guesthouse after dinner, I found my husband sitting on the bathroom floor, looking very pale. He had been sick about six times in an hour. He spent the rest of the night in the bathroom, getting very familiar with the house's pipe. Our main suspect was the Argan honey—it probably didn't agree with him.
At about 6 a. m., my husband finally managed to leave the bathroom and crawl into bed. He was very weak and dehydrated（脱水的），so I went down to the reception to buy a bottle of water. When I got to the lobby（门厅）,I found a young man behind the desk, who didn't look older than 18, and explained to him that my husband was sick and I needed to buy some bottled water for him.
Our house was very small and basic and didn't have a restaurant or cafe. The young man informed me that they didn't sell any drinks at the house, so I asked him where the nearest shop was.
I looked out the window and my heart started to race. I didn't fancy risking going into the unfamiliar streets of the Medina in the dark, all by myself. In fact, I was afraid of it.
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。
Instead of giving me directions to the nearest shop, the young man asked me to wait for him there.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I handed him a 50 Dirham note （about 5 EUR） for the water.
