The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake. She was covered by a destroyed house. Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins, the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势). It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头), but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.
The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again, knocked the bricks using various tools, but no reply inside.
Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back calling “Come here.” He came to the body, put his hands under the woman, feeling and touching, then shouted loudly and gladly, “There is someone, a baby, still living.”
Through some efforts, rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby, who was covered by a small red quilt (棉被). He was about 3 or 4 months’ old. Since well protected by his mother’s body, he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out, and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor, along with the rescuing team, took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right, and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen; a written message was already there: “My dear baby if you could live, don’t forget how much I love you.” As a doctor, he experienced much of this type of separation; but at this moment, he cried. The mobile phone was passed, and every person who saw this message shed (流出) tears.

Many people just see crows (乌鸦) as a natural clean-up crew—eating insects, dead animals or food in trash cans. But researchers have found that crows are not only playful but also social and intelligent. They use tools to solve problems, and they remember faces for years and copy sounds they hear.
“Crows are always testing their environment,” said John Marzluff, University of Washington professor of wildlife science. “Anything that looks possibly edible, they will taste it.” This trait (特点) has led to interesting scientific findings. Some crows use sticks to gain hard-to-get treats. In other experiments, they learned to drop stones into narrow containers to raise water to a level where they can drink it or reach a floating treat inside.
Crows are social, living in large extended families of more than a dozen munication is key to their survival. Many calls are used—each having a different message. For example, they have separate warning calls for cats, dogs and people. Some crows even imitate the sounds of other animals and people.
Marzluff did several experiments to determine whether wild crows remember human faces. In one, researchers wearing masks caught seven crows around the campus and banded them. After setting them free, researchers found that regular passers-by got no reaction, but as soon as anyone wearing the same mask passed by, the crows made loud warning calls—even years later. Never be mean to a crow. They not only remember faces but teach their offspring who to beware of (当心). They also remember those who were kind to them and pass that information along, too, often bringing gifts of rocks or other small objects as a thank-you.
8. What does the underlined word “edible” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Difficult to get B. Fit to be eaten
C. Suitable to be tested D. Interesting to play with
9. What plays an important role in the survival of crows
A. Interacting with other crows effectively.
B. Developing similar warnings for dangers.
C. Recognizing the sounds of other animals.
D. Helping each other in big families to get food.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Crows-can tell right from wrong. B. Crows are mean sometimes.
C. Crows are grateful birds. D. Crows have a good memory.
11. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Crows Can Use Tools to Get the Food
B. Crows Communicate in Intelligent Ways
C. Cute Crows: They Remember You Forever
D. Clever Crows: They Socialize and Memorize
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了乌鸦的聪明之处。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段中“they will taste it (他们都会尝尝)”可知，它们会去尝尝的东西，肯定是看起来可以吃的东西。A. Difficult to get (难以获得)；B. Fit to be eaten(适合食用)；C. Suitable to be tested(适合测试)；D. Interesting to play with(玩起来很有趣)。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Communication is key to their survival. (沟通是他们生存的关键。)”可知，有效地与其他乌鸦互动和沟通，对乌鸦的生存起着重要作用。故选A。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Marzluff did several experiments to determine whether wild crows remember human faces. In one, researchers wearing masks caught seven crows around the campus and banded them. After setting them free, researchers found that regular passers-by got no reaction, but as soon as anyone wearing the same mask passed by, the crows made loud warning calls—even years later. Never be mean to a crow. They not only remember faces but teach their offspring who to beware of (当心). They also remember those who were kind to them and pass that information along, too, often bringing gifts of rocks or other small objects as a thank-you. (Marzluff做了几个实验来确定野生乌鸦是否记得人类的面孔。在其中一个实验中，戴着面具的研究人员在校园里抓了七只乌鸦，并给它们戴上了手铐。在释放它们后，研究人员发现，普通路人没有反应，但只要有人戴着同样的面具经过，乌鸦就会发出响亮的警告叫声——即使是几年后。永远不要对乌鸦刻薄。他们不仅记住面孔，而且教他们的后代提防谁。他们也会记住那些对他们好的人，并把这些信息传递下去，经常带一些石头或其他小物件作为感谢。)”可知，本段主要讲述：乌鸦记忆力很好，能识别和记住人们的面孔，还能把这些信息传递下去。故选D。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段中“But researchers have found that crows are not only playful but also social and intelligent. They use tools to solve problems, and they remember faces for years and copy sounds they hear. (但研究人员发现，乌鸦不仅爱玩，而且群居、聪明。他们使用工具来解决问题，他们可以记住多年的面孔，并复制他们听到的声音。)”可知，本句是文章的主题句，主要描述了乌鸦的特点：聪明、群居、记忆力好。故选D。

Brooke wanted a toy and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated (声控的) home helper powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon Echo device (回波装置). And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. After being reported on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order toys!
Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming (即将来临的) Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don’t often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom (繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future.
Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you’re cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without help.
But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted things aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits What if someone hacks (非法侵入) the device What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time
12. What is Alexa
A. A TV reporter. B. A friend of Brooke.
C. A kind of device. D. A cookie maker.
13. What can you learn from Paragraph 2
A. Alexa is the best AI device.
B. Voice shopping may have a bright future.
C. People use Bixby mainly for listening to music.
D. People buy various things through voice shopping.
14. What’s the author’s attitude towards Alexa devices
A. Optimistic. B. Doubtful.
C. Objective. D. Negative.
15. What column (专栏) may the passage be taken from in the newspaper
A. Education. B. Business.
C. Entertainment. D. Technology.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章介绍了人工智能声控智能助手的优缺点。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated (声控的) home helper powered by artificial intelligence(AI).(Alexa不是她的妈妈或保姆。这是一款由人工智能AI驱动的声控家庭助手)”可知，Alexa是一种声控人工智能助手设备。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“According to a report from The Information, people don’t often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom (繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future.(根据The Information的一份报告，人们并不经常使用语音购物。他们这样做主要是为了订购一些简单的东西，比如纸巾。但许多专家预测，语音购物在不久的将来会蓬勃发展)”可推知，语音购物可能有一个光明的未来。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you’re cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without help.(方便是语音购物的主要好处。你一想到点什么就可以大声喊出来，即使你是在做饭或开车。此外，不能使用键盘或鼠标的人可以在没有帮助的情况下购物)”及最后一段“But voice shopping has its disadvantages.(但是语音购物也有缺点)”可知，作者在文章介绍了语音购物的优缺点。由此推知，作者对于此类设备，如Alexa是持客观态度的。故选C项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming(即将来临的) Galaxy Home device will have Bixby.(Alexa并不是唯一一个愿意为你订购食物的人工智能。苹果Homepod有Siri，谷歌Home有助手，即将推出的Galaxy Home设备将有Bixby)”并结合全文可知，本文介绍了人工智能声控智能助手的优缺点。由此推知，这篇文章也许能在报纸的“科技”专栏看到。故选D项。

上文“When I was in junior high, a friend from senior high school told me I must concentrate on study and work hard from the minute I entered senior high.(当我上初中的时候，一个高中的朋友告诉我，从进入高中的那一刻起，我必须集中精力学习和努力学习。)”提到“我”的朋友在“我”刚上高中时，给“我”的建议，结合下文“But I was ready because I got that advice, and I worked hard from day one. So listen to me, and you’ll be all set.(但我已经准备好了，因为我得到了那个建议，我从第一天起就努力学习。听我说，你会没事的。)”可知，“我”听从了朋友的建议，由此可知，空处应该承上启下，B项“I listened to his advice(我听从了他的建议)”符合，故选B。
【20题详解】
上文“My advice for newcomers is to be present and live in the moment. Before you know it, high school’s over, and you can’t go back. There are no do-overs. (我对新生的建议是活在当下，活在当下。在你意识到之前，高中就结束了，你再也回不去了。没有重来的机会。)”提到，要建议新生活在当下，空处应该承接上文，指出这么做的好处，F项“Live during your high school years so you have no regrets(好好度过你的高中生活，这样你就不会有遗憾)”符合，故选F。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了Beyond meat公司将植物肉馅饺子引入中国，让消费者能够享受到传统的、无处不在的中国菜肴，而不必牺牲味道和营养。
【详解】1.考查时态语态。句意：本月初，Beyond meat公司将植物肉馅饺子引入中国。分析句子成分可知，空处因为谓语动词。时间状语为“this month”，故谓语动词用一般过去时；主语为“dumplings”为动作承受者，为复数，故谓语动词用被动语态，复数。故填were introduced。
2.考查非谓语动词。句意：水饺和煎饺分别推出了两种不同的馅料。分析句子成分可知，空处应为过去分词作定语修饰名词“dumplings”，且“and”前后形式保持一致。故填fried。
3.考查名词。句意：水饺和煎饺分别推出了两种不同的馅料。空前为数词和形容词“two different”，故空处应为名词，且用复数。filling在表示馅的类别时可数。故用fillings。
4.考查形容词。句意：植物牛肉芹菜和木耳蘑菇馅汁多，令人满意。“and”前后形式保持一致，且主语为物，故用satisfying，修饰物。故填satisfying。
5.考查介词。句意：馅料包在精致的饺子皮里，饺子皮是用内蒙古河套平原出产的面粉制成的。be made from“由……制成”，看不出原材料。故填from。
6.考查副词。句意：这种饺子口感丰富，“多肉”，有嚼劲，这是中国北方手工饺子的常见味道。空处应为副词修饰谓语动词“is seen”。故填commonly。
7.考查连词。句意：Beyond Meat在中国的代理总经理Jeremy Yeo说，他们很高兴能通过新的Beyond Dumplings系列在中国扩大系列产品。分析句子成分可知，空处应为非限制性定语从句，从句缺乏主语，先行词“Jeremy Yeo”指人。故填who。
8.考查冠词。句意：Beyond Meat在中国的代理总经理Jeremy Yeo说，他们很高兴能通过新的Beyond Dumplings系列在中国扩大系列产品。空后为名词，故空处应为冠词。又因这个新产品是特指前文题到过的植物肉饺子。故填the。
9.考查非谓语动词。句意：杨荣文说：“通过这次推出，我们很自豪地让当地消费者更容易获得植物性蛋白质，让他们能够享受到传统的、无处不在的中国菜肴，而不必牺牲味道和营养。”固定搭配enable sb.to do sth. “允许某人做某事”。故填to enjoy。
10.考查非谓语动词。句意：杨荣文说：“通过这次推出，我们很自豪地让当地消费者更容易获得植物性蛋白质，让他们能够享受到传统的、无处不在的中国菜肴，而不必牺牲味道和营养。”空前是介词“without”，后接doing做宾语。故填having。

When Thanksgiving Day was approaching, my primary school decided to celebrate it by presenting shows like dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, the schoolmaster called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancie, could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event ” “Sure!” Excitedly, I had loved poetry since my fifth grade. I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them. When my first poem was published, I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon, feeling quite happy. Then for weeks, I worked or my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader! No one would take my work seriously What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, hoping I could disappear. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck!” my little brother's voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class. I nodded, struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded, the crowd quieted, and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows. Mine was at the end of the list. So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage. My mind was blank. Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped over something. And I stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was about to run away when my teacher came up tome. He joked I fell due to my eagerness to bow to the audience. His humor helped remove the embarrassment. Then he motivated the audience to give me encouragement. Feeling less nervous, I took the microphone and cleared my voice before reading the title. Surprisingly, my voice sounded clear and loud. The hall silenced. I continued reading, with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately.
When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. I swallowed hard. Maybe no one loved my poem. Then out of the silence there was clapping and cheering. I dared to look for my parents in the sea of faces, and found my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling. With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile, I bowed slightly and walked off the stage. I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat, with relief and gratefulness spreading warmly through my body.

The mom had died when the rescuers found her after the terrible earthquake. She was covered by a destroyed house. Through gaps (缝隙) of those ruins, the rescuers could see her last posture (姿势). It was something like an ancient person who was kowtowing (叩头), but it just looked strange because she was out of shape by pressure.
The rescuers confirmed her death by touching her through the gaps of the ruins. They shouted at the ruins again and again, knocked the bricks using various tools, but no reply inside.
Then the rescuing team went to the next building. Suddenly the leader ran back, calling “Come here.” He came to the body, put his hands under the woman, feeling and touching, then shouted loudly and gladly, “There is someone, a baby, still living.”
Through some efforts, rescuers cleaned up the ruins which blocked her. Under her body lay her baby, who was covered by a small red quilt (棉被). He was about 3 or 4 months’ old. Since well protected by his mother’s body, he was safe. He was in a deep sleep when the rescuer carried him out, and his lovely and peaceful face warmed everyone around him. The doctor, along with the rescuing team, took the baby out of the quilt to check if the baby was all right, and he found there was a mobile phone in the quilt. The doctor looked at the screen; a written message was already there: “My dear baby if you could live, don’t forget how much I love you.” As a doctor, he experienced much of this type of separation; but at this moment, he cried. The mobile phone was passed, and every person who saw this message shed (流出) tears.

Many people just see crows (乌鸦) as a natural clean-up crew—eating insects, dead animals or food in trash cans. But researchers have found that crows are not only playful but also social and intelligent. They use tools to solve problems, and they remember faces for years and copy sounds they hear.
“Crows are always testing their environment,” said John Marzluff, University of Washington professor of wildlife science. “Anything that looks possibly edible, they will taste it.” This trait (特点) has led to interesting scientific findings. Some crows use sticks to gain hard-to-get treats. In other experiments, they learned to drop stones into narrow containers to raise water to a level where they can drink it or reach a floating treat inside.
Crows are social, living in large extended families of more than a dozen munication is key to their survival. Many calls are used—each having a different message. For example, they have separate warning calls for cats, dogs and people. Some crows even imitate the sounds of other animals and people.
Marzluff did several experiments to determine whether wild crows remember human faces. In one, researchers wearing masks caught seven crows around the campus and banded them. After setting them free, researchers found that regular passers-by got no reaction, but as soon as anyone wearing the same mask passed by, the crows made loud warning calls—even years later. Never be mean to a crow. They not only remember faces but teach their offspring who to beware of (当心). They also remember those who were kind to them and pass that information along, too, often bringing gifts of rocks or other small objects as a thank-you.
8. What does the underlined word “edible” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Difficult to get B. Fit to be eaten
C. Suitable to be tested D. Interesting to play with
9. What plays an important role in the survival of crows
A. Interacting with other crows effectively.
B. Developing similar warnings for dangers.
C. Recognizing the sounds of other animals.
D. Helping each other in big families to get food.
10. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us
A. Crows-can tell right from wrong. B. Crows are mean sometimes.
C. Crows are grateful birds. D. Crows have a good memory.
11. Which is a suitable title for the text
A. Crows Can Use Tools to Get the Food
B. Crows Communicate in Intelligent Ways
C. Cute Crows: They Remember You Forever
D. Clever Crows: They Socialize and Memorize

Brooke wanted a toy and some sugar cookies. So the 6-year-old asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn’t her mom or babysitter. It was a voice-activated (声控的) home helper powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Alexa comes with the Amazon Echo device (回波装置). And it made Brooke’s wishes come true. After being reported on TV, Alexa devices in many listeners’ homes woke up and tried to order toys!
Alexa isn’t the only AI willing to order up treats for you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming (即将来临的) Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who own these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, people don’t often do voice shopping. They do it mainly to order simple things like paper towels. But many experts predict a boom (繁荣) in voice shopping in the near future.
Convenience is the main benefit of voice shopping. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you’re cooking or driving. Besides, people who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without help.
But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted things aren’t the biggest problem. It’s usually very easy to cancel an order or return items. The surprising thing is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another command. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people’s shopping habits What if someone hacks (非法侵入) the device What if someone hacks smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time
12. What is Alexa
A. A TV reporter. B. A friend of Brooke.
C A kind of device. D. A cookie maker.

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。
When Thanksgiving Day was approaching, my primary school decided to celebrate it by presenting shows like dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, the schoolmaster called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancie, could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event ” “Sure!” Excitedly, I had loved poetry since my fifth grade. I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them. When my first poem was published, I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon, feeling quite happy. Then for weeks, I worked or my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader! No one would take my work seriously What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, hoping I could disappear. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck!” my little brother's voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class. I nodded, struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded, the crowd quieted, and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows. Mine was at the end of the list. So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage. My mind was blank. Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped over something. And I stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.
