“I was dead for 67 minutes. It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest （心脏骤停） in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up.
It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.”
Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedics tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor, one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously （同时）. It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital.
Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country.
24．What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible
A．The doctor’s first aid without delay.
B．His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR.
C．His volunteer experiences in the community center.
D．The instant actions of his friends and the first responders.

A．To advocate the application of CPR. B．To appeal to more people to volunteer.
C．To share his struggle for a normal life. D．To enhance people’s awareness of fitness.
26．What can we learn from Bruce’s story
A．Hard work will pay off one day. B．The knowledge of first aid counts.
C．Learning to live in the present matters. D．Ease your mind when panic arises.
27．What is the text
A．A research paper. B．A book review. C．A news report. D．A course advertisement.

A new APP uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tell you what your pet is thinking. It’s called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal’s facial features, tells you what breed （血统） it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared.
The Happy Pets app uses AI, or machine learning. It’s a technology that’s used for vision in robotics and self-driving cars and it works by taking in images and assigning importance to them. One common use for AI is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it’s important part of security processes in, for instance, airports.
But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then had to learn to recognize facial features. This is sophisticated because photos can be taken in so many different ways: from the side, above, below, in bright light. And different animals can have such different facial features. Think about how different the noses of a border collie （边境牧羊犬） and bulldog are, for instance. Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learned from thousands of examples. For instance, if a dog tightens its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears in a particular way, it’s a sign of being scared.
In an online article for Melbourne University’s Pursuit, the researchers write they’re happy with how the app performs. The researchers would love feedback about how they could develop the app further.
28．Which of the following may go beyond Happy Pets’ function
A．Learning the kinds of pets. B．Showing pets’ main feelings.
C．Teaching pets’ facial recognition. D．Analyzing the pets’ facial features.
29．What is the facial recognition technology commonly used as now
A．The robot’s eye. B．A security system.
C．The vision of self-driving. D．A machine learning system.
30．What does the underlined word “sophisticated” in Paragraph 3 meaning
A．Typical. B．Complex. C．Scientific. D．Traditional.
31．Why does Happy Pets have to learn to recognize faces
A．Because faces can definitely show animals feelings.
B．Because it wants to have emotions of humans.
C．Because it enables Happy Pets to detect emotions based on specific facial features.
D．Because the types of animals are based on the looks.
D
“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change,” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.
Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world.
This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building up on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children don’t know how to play without using technology.
Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.
Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self-directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.
32．What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day
A．Have PE. classes on the playgrounds. B．Have a day off and go playing anywhere.
C．Learn and play by using natural things outside. D．Play on their own without the teachers’ guidance.
33．Why do children spend less time outdoors
A．Schools stop providing playgrounds. B．Adults ignore the importance of playtime.
C．Parents prefer to homeschool their children. D．Technology helps children learn better at home.
34．What’s the school teachers’ attitude towards the campaign
A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Unconcerned. D．Negative.
35．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce an activity. B．To advertise a product.
C．To entertain the public. D．To persuade students to play.

In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment （任务） to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an “E” on it. The teacher told her it was a “fairy tale” （神话）. Jean was heartbroken and ashamed.
As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy. That’s impossible.” Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a demanding （要求高的） teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question, “If you had unlimited finances （资金）, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do ”
Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm （激情）, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream. But thinking of the questioning and ridicule （嘲讽） she had suffered before, she tore up （撕碎） the piece of paper full of “her Dream”. Jean finally wrote in his exercise book, “Sorry, teacher, I have nothing to do because I have no dream.”
The next day, after class, Mrs. Slaton stopped Jean and said, “Gene, come to my office.” She looked gently at Jean, “Jean, can you tell me why you say you don’t have a dream ” Gene said depressedly, “No one wants to believe that I can be a pilot. I have a dream. If I have the conditions you mentioned, I just want to try my best to be a female pilot.”
The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean’s life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, “I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you.”
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。
Paragraph 1: The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Paragraph 2: Eventually, Jean made it.

33．推理判断题。根据第三段“This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. （这有助于改变这样一种趋势，即许多学校出售或修建操场，减少玩耍时间，为学业腾出更多空间，而在家里，孩子们的生活越来越多地被旨在帮助他们学习的有组织的活动所占据。）”可知，学校会减少孩子们的玩耍时间，为学业腾出更多空间，家长认为学习比玩耍重要，会给孩子安排更多的旨在帮助他们学习的活动，由此可知，孩子们在户外的时间更少了，是因为成年人忽视了游戏时间的重要性。故选B项。
34．推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside, and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential. （93%的受访教师认为孩子们在户外玩耍后创造力有所提高，97%的教师认为户外活动对孩子们充分发挥潜能是必要的。）”可知，多数教师认为在户外玩耍可以提高孩子的创造力，有助于充分发挥他们的潜能，由此可推断出，学校老师对这项活动的态度是积极的。故选A项。
35．推理判断题。通读文章，结合第二段“Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the outside and take learning into the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day. This might involve using natural objects like stones to do sums, or going on an insect hunt to encourage curiosity. （今年5月17日和11月1日举行的“户外课堂日”，将看到世界各地的学校从教室里面换到教室外面，把学习带到操场和其他地方，使玩耍时间成为学校一天的重要组成部分。这可能包括使用石头等自然物体来做算术，或者进行昆虫狩猎来激发好奇心。）”可知，本文主要介绍了一项名为“Outdoor Classroom Day ”的活动，这项活动旨在通过增加孩子的玩耍时间，来提高孩子的创造力，充分发挥他们的潜力，所以文章的目的是为了介绍一项活动。故选A项。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一些外出就餐时要知道的一些重要事项。
36．空前说“Cultural dining manners might surprise you with some of its important rules. （文化饮食礼仪的一些重要规则可能会让你大吃一惊。）”，空后说“Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family- -no matter where you are in the world. （了解一些技巧将有助于确保你与朋友或家人享受愉快的晚餐——无论你在世界的哪个地方。）”可知，此处是指要学习一些用餐礼节以避免在用餐时犯错误，C选项“It’s embarrassing to make a mistake at a restaurant. （在餐馆里犯错是很尴尬的。）”说明了在餐厅里犯关于用餐礼仪的错误是很尴尬的，这样就引出后文所说的一些重要事项，因此C选项在空格处承上启下，符合语境，故选C。
37．本段小标题是“Chopstick Rules （筷子的规则）”，这说明空格处和筷子有关，空后说“When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel with the edge of the table in front of you. Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them. （当你把它们放在嘴里的时候，一定要把它们放在一起，这样它们就和你面前的桌子边缘平行了。不要把筷子笔直地插在食物里，也不要在使用筷子的时候把筷子交叉起来。）”，这说的是怎么用筷子，可见用筷子的方法是很重要的，G选项“The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. （你使用筷子的方式在避免惹恼你的同伴方面很重要。）”说明了用筷子的方式很重要，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选G。

People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons. （在智利，你不能用手指碰任何食物。泰国人通常只用叉子把食物推到勺子上。）”，说明本段主要介绍的是不同的国家关于用手还是用餐具的习俗，空格处也应该提到某一个国家，D选项“Mexicans consider it inappropriate to eat with knives or forks，（墨西哥人认为用刀叉吃饭是不合适的，）”说明的是墨西哥的人认为用刀叉吃饭是不合适的，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选D。
39．空前说“It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal. In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chef that you don’t like their seasoning skills. （在吃饭时要盐和胡椒似乎是一个简单的要求。在葡萄牙，这将是一个严重的错误，因为这会让厨师知道你不喜欢他们的调味技巧。）”，空格处也应该继续说关于不提或提要求的，F选项“Similarly, in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food. （同样，在意大利，永远不要要求在你的食物中添加额外的奶酪。）”说明了在意大利不要要求在你的食物中添加额外的奶酪，和空前的不要要求加盐和胡椒相呼应，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选F。
40．空前说“Some of these cultural dining manners may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. （其中一些文化饮食习惯可能看起来很随意和奇怪，但它们在许多国家都很重要。）”，空后说“the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices. （你就会开始对外国的文化习俗感到越舒服。）”，再根据常理判断，你在一个国家待的时间越久，就会对外国的文化习俗感到越舒服，B选项“The more time you spend in any given country，（你在任何一个国家待的时间越长，）”说明你在一个国家待的时间越长，你就会开始对外国的文化习俗感到越舒服，因此引起下文，符合语境，故选B。

第四部分 书面表达
第一节
Possible version:
Recently, whether it is beneficial for students to board in the school has been a heated discussion among students.
From my perspective, I am in favor of it. Above all, boarding in the school makes it possible for me to make full use of my time, which can enable me to learn more efficiently. Meanwhile, by living away from my parents, I can also cultivate my independence despite feeling a little homesick sometimes.
In conclusion, I am convinced that boarding in the school can be really beneficial and meaningful. What is the most important is that I have learned to be grateful to my parents.
第二节 读后续写
One possible version:
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her out that her dream was to be a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top. “Then do it!” she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. In her 10 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairytale.
Eventually, Jean made it. She became the first female pilot in the United States. Looking back, she believed that her achievements were inseparable from Mrs. Slayton. Her words “Then do it” generated tremendous power and an uplifting spark! It was this power that gave this then indecisive little girl the power and belief to pursue her dreams again.

“I was dead for 67 minutes. It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest （心脏骤停） in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up.
It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.”
Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedics tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor, one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously （同时）. It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital.
Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country.
24．What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible
A．The doctor’s first aid without delay.
B．His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR.
C．His volunteer experiences in the community center.
D．The instant actions of his friends and the first responders.
25．Why did Bruce share his story in a video
A．To advocate the application of CPR. B．To appeal to more people to volunteer.
C．To share his struggle for a normal life. D．To enhance people’s awareness of fitness.
26．What can we learn from Bruce’s story
A．Hard work will pay off one day. B．The knowledge of first aid counts.
C．Learning to live in the present matters. D．Ease your mind when panic arises.
27．What is the text
A．A research paper. B．A book review. C．A news report. D．A course advertisement.
C
A new APP uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to tell you what your pet is thinking. It’s called Happy Pets and it analyses an animal’s facial features, tells you what breed （血统） it is and indicates which of the five most common animal emotions—happy, angry, neutral, sad and scared.
The Happy Pets app uses AI, or machine learning. It’s a technology that’s used for vision in robotics and self-driving cars and it works by taking in images and assigning importance to them. One common use for AI is in facial recognition technology. Many of us can unlock our mobile phones with an image of our face and it’s important part of security processes in, for instance, airports.
But this is the first time this kind of technology has been used for animals. It then had to learn to recognize facial features. This is sophisticated because photos can be taken in so many different ways: from the side, above, below, in bright light. And different animals can have such different facial features. Think about how different the noses of a border collie （边境牧羊犬） and bulldog are, for instance. Once the AI behind Happy Pets had learned all this, it then had to be able to detect emotions based on specific facial features that are associated with each emotion, which it has learned from thousands of examples. For instance, if a dog tightens its eyes and mouth while changing the position of its ears in a particular way, it’s a sign of being scared.
In an online article for Melbourne University’s Pursuit, the researchers write they’re happy with how the app performs. The researchers would love feedback about how they could develop the app further.

“The failure to play is now a serious issue and it calls for action for change,” says Sir Ken Robinson, a leading expert in education, creativity and human development. This is the driving force behind Outdoor Classroom Day - a global teacher-led campaign, supported by Dirt is Good, a company producing daily chemical products.
Outdoor Classroom Day, taking place on 17th May and 1st November this year, will see schools around the world swap the inside for the playground and beyond to make playtime a key part of the school day.

By now, Outdoor Classroom Day has grown from a grassroots movement to a global campaign that is expected to benefit five million children and over 40,000 schools from all around the world.
This is helping to change the trend that sees many schools selling up or building up on their playgrounds and cutting back on playtime to make more room for academic studies, while at home children’s lives are increasingly filled with organized activities intended to help them learn. Today globally 61% of parents surveyed in the Dirt is Good Qualitative Study said that children don’t know how to play without using technology.
Outdoor Classroom Day is making playing time happen, with 22% of participating schools having increased their playtime since joining the campaign. 93% of teachers surveyed saw improvements in children’s creativity after playing outside and 97% believe that time outdoors is necessary for children to reach their full potential.
Scientific studies show that real play - the active, physical, self-directed play - is essential for children to develop key life skills that are not taught elsewhere. Few would question the value of developing creativity, leadership, resourcefulness, and curiosity.
32．What do children do on Outdoor Classroom Day
A．Have PE. classes on the playgrounds. B．Have a day off and go playing anywhere.
C．Learn and play by using natural things outside. D．Play on their own without the teachers’ guidance.
33．Why do children spend less time outdoors
A．Schools stop providing playgrounds. B．Adults ignore the importance of playtime.
C．Parents prefer to homeschool their children. D．Technology helps children learn better at home.
34．What’s the school teachers’ attitude towards the campaign
A．Positive. B．Uncertain. C．Unconcerned. D．Negative.
35．What’s the purpose of the passage
A．To introduce an activity. B．To advertise a product.
C．To entertain the public. D．To persuade students to play.

In 1959, when Jean Harper was in the third grade, her teacher gave the class an assignment （任务） to write a report on what they wanted to be when they grew up. She poured her heart into her report and expressed her dream of becoming an airline pilot. Her paper came back with an “E” on it. The teacher told her it was a “fairy tale” （神话）. Jean was heartbroken and ashamed.
As the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the discouragement and negativity she encountered whenever she talked about her dream. “Girls can’t become airline pilots; never have, never will. You’re crazy. That’s impossible.” Finally Jean gave up.
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher was Mrs. Dorothy Slaton, a demanding （要求高的） teacher with high standards. One day Mrs. Slaton asked this question, “If you had unlimited finances （资金）, unlimited access to the finest schools, unlimited talents and abilities, what would you do ”
Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm （激情）, and with excitement she wrote down the very old dream. But thinking of the questioning and ridicule （嘲讽） she had suffered before, she tore up （撕碎） the piece of paper full of “her Dream”. Jean finally wrote in his exercise book, “Sorry, teacher, I have nothing to do because I have no dream.”
The next day, after class, Mrs. Slaton stopped Jean and said, “Gene, come to my office.” She looked gently at Jean, “Jean, can you tell me why you say you don’t have a dream ” Gene said depressedly, “No one wants to believe that I can be a pilot. I have a dream. If I have the conditions you mentioned, I just want to try my best to be a female pilot.”
The next thing that Mrs. Slaton said changed the course of Jean’s life. The teacher leaned forward over her desk and said, “I have a little secret for you. You do have unlimited abilities and talents. When you leave school, if you don’t go for your dreams, no one will do it for you.”
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。
Paragraph 1: The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Paragraph 2: Eventually, Jean made it.

第四部分 书面表达
第一节
Possible version:
Recently, whether it is beneficial for students to board in the school has been a heated discussion among students.
From my perspective, I am in favor of it. Above all, boarding in the school makes it possible for me to make full use of my time, which can enable me to learn more efficiently. Meanwhile, by living away from my parents, I can also cultivate my independence despite feeling a little homesick sometimes.
In conclusion, I am convinced that boarding in the school can be really beneficial and meaningful. What is the most important is that I have learned to be grateful to my parents.
第二节 读后续写
One possible version:
The hurt and fear of years of discouragement disappeared all of a sudden. Jean felt thrilled and told her out that her dream was to be a pilot. Mrs. Slaton slapped the desk top. “Then do it!” she said. So Jean did. It didn’t happen overnight. In her 10 years of hard work, even facing varieties of laugh, frustration and opposition, she never gave up her dream. Instead, she went on doing everything her third-grade teacher said was fairytale.
Eventually, Jean made it. She became the first female pilot in the United States. Looking back, she believed that her achievements were inseparable from Mrs. Slayton. Her words “Then do it” generated tremendous power and an uplifting spark! It was this power that gave this then indecisive little girl the power and belief to pursue her dreams again.
