The skin is an essential part of your body and its largest organ. You have three layers(层) of skin which act as a barrier against disease, poisons and the sun's harmful rays. The functions of your skin are also very complex: it keeps you warm or cool; it prevents your body from losing too much water; it is where you feel cold, heat or pain and it gives you your sense of touch. So as you can imagine, if your skin gets burned it can be very serious. First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of burns.
Causes of burns
You can get burned by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation (by being close to high heat or fire, etc. ), the sun, electricity or chemicals.
Types of burns
There are three types of burns. Burns are called first, second or third degree burns, depending on which layers of the skin are burned.
First degree burns These affect only the top layer of the skin. These burns are not serious and should feel better within a day or two. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by touching a hot pan, stove or iron for a mordent (熨烫熨斗).
Second degree burns These affect both the top and the second layer of the skin. These burns are serious and take a few weeks to heal. Examples include severe sunburn and burns caused by hot liquids.
Third degree burns These affect all three layers of the skin and any tissue and organs under the skin. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or severe petrol fires. These burns cause very severe injuries and the victim must go to hospital at once.
Characteristics of burns
First degree burns
dry, red and mildly swollen(肿胀的)
mildly painful
turn white when pressed
Second degree burns
rough, red and swollen
watery surface
extremely painful

You have to get to your job interview, but you don't have access to an automobile. How would you solve this dilemma (困境)? Most people would probably call an Uber or perhaps ask a friend or family member for a ride. But not this Indiana woman. Kasia Shelton from Muncie has been arrested for stealing a vehicle from a local dealership (经销商). According to police reports, the 20-year-old used the 2013 Kia Optima to drive to a job interview in Indianapolis.
The auto theft happened on Monday, October 9. On the day, Shelton arrived at RDI Motors in Muncie and asked an employee to see a certain 2013 Kia Optima. He showed the car to Shelton and we can only assume he talked in length about its great condition for its age, the features, and the reliability. The employee later told the police that Shelton seemed interested in the car and asked to take it for a test drive. But while he was talking to her and preparing the car for a drive, the dealership's telephone kept ringing and ringing. He said that he had to excuse himself constantly to go pick up the phone, yet there was never anybody on the other end of the line. The last time the phone rang was just as the employee had gotten the car ready for Shelton to take it for a test drive. When he got back from the phone, Shelton and the Kia were gone.
The RDI employee immediately called the Muncie Police Department. The police then began using the Flock camera surveillance system(监控系统) in an attempt to spot the car. A while later, they saw the car again, this time returning to Muncie. After that, the cameras lost the car, but we now know that Shelton drove it back to RDI Motors. Finding out wasn't too difficult. The police said they were able to connect the car to Shelton because she had filled out an online form on RDI Motors' website.
When the police later showed up at Shelton's door, she seemed confused and thought the officers were pulling off some kind of a joke. She genuinely didn't seem to understand what she was getting arrested for. After all, she returned the Kia to the dealership once she was done with her trip. She didn't plan to keep it, so what's the big____deal
Whether she understood the reason why or not, Shelton was arrested. She has been charged with auto theft, which could land her in prison for up to two and a half years.
41.Why was Shelton arrested
A.Because she got a job interview.
B.Because she didn't call an Uber.
C.Because she stole a car.
D.Because she drove a 2013 Kia Optima.
42.What was the attitude of the employee when introducing the 2013 Kia Optima to Shelton
A.Uninterested. B.Negative. C.Responsible. D.Intolerable.
43.What stopped the employee from taking Shelton to the test drive
A.Some other clients. B.Mysterious phone calls.
C.Shelton's attitude. D.His colleagues' calls.
44.How did the police find Shelton
A.By searching the Flock camera surveillance system.
B.Through the interview company.
C.By inquiring RDI motors' employees.
D.Through the personal information she left on the site.
45.The underlined part "what's the big deal " in Paragraph 4 can be understood as ____.
A.Don't you think that's the reason you arrest me
B.Is this small thing worth an arrest
C.Is this a deal
D.Do you think I should buy the car

Is it possible to make machines think like humans This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or "AI" To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams. Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, Al even decides that all humans must be killed. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans.
Yet others are comforted by the thought of Al. Maybe with AJ. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience.
For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like. Al is also used to diagnose (诊断) problems and suggest solutions. Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination. It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses. Furthermore, industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to Al to manage these electronic workers. In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today. In the near future, it is likely that Al will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks such as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming (梳妆). The Al of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas. Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human
46.What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2
A.We already have all-powerful computers with the power of human thought.
B.One day the Al will decide on its own to wipe out humans.
C.Robots with AI have the potential to replace our loved ones.
D.In contrast, humans need artificial intelligence machines to help us solve problems rather than companion robots.
47.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Al will eventually be used to manage workers.
B.AI is often used to manage robots on production lines.
C.Industrial robots are completely different from electronic workers.
D.Industrial robots often turn to Al.
48.What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 about Al
A.Smartphones already have AI technology.
B.Al technology for driverless cars is already mature.
C.AJ has been being used to mange smart homes.
D.Artificial intelligence has proved its superiority over humanity in all fields.
49.What is the author's attitude towards Al
A.Short-sighted. B.Wait-and-see. C.Optimistic. D.Skeptical.
50.What makes the best title for the passage
A.Al Thinks Like Humans B.AI Robots
C.AI and Human Beings D.The Future of AI

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases (致命疾病). However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted (传送) to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products such as GPS, memory foam pillows (记忆棉枕头), and smartphone cameras are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world's problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future, humans may live on both planets.
In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems.
51.In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ____.
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion D.present an argument
52.Which of the following is TRUE about the satellites
A.They can collect information of the land and weather changes.
B.They can provide useful recommendations for farmers.
C.They can fight against world hunger directly.
D.They can analyze the data and make suggestions.
53.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3
A.Space exploration no longer requires high-end products.
B.High-end products cannot meet the needs of space exploration.
C.Our daily life has benefited from the development of space technology.
D.The development of new material is a must for space exploration.
54.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 4
A.Space exploration has changed the way our planet works.
B.Space exploration helps to discover and solve Earth's problems.
C.In the future, all humans may have to move to Mars.
D.Resource shortage and population growth are already serious problems.
55.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To provide guidance on how to carry out space exploration.
B.To stress the need of promoting technology.
C.To state the importance of exploring space.
D.To suggest a way of meeting the requirements for space exploration.

On 8th August, 1914, 27 men who had replied to an advertisement in The Times boarded a ship leaving for the Antarctic (南极洲). The name of the ship was the Endurance and the captain was an Irishman called Ernest Shackleton.
The aim of the journey was to cross the frozen continent via the South Pole — a journey of 1, 800 miles. Shackleton thought the journey would last six months.
But when land came into sight, the Endurance became trapped in the ice and began to break up. Shackleton and his men watched the Endurance sink into the icy sea. They then headed north, pulling three lifeboats behind them.
After six days, bad weather forced them to give up and the men set up camp on a sheet of ice which began slowly moving across the Antarctic Circle.
They survived on the ice for five months. Then, on 16th April, 1915, Shackleton saw land. It was Elephant Island-a large rock with nothing growing on it, but much better than a floating piece of ice. When they reached the island, Shackleton came up with an idea—it was a risk but he would have to take it. He and five men would take one of the lifeboats, and sail 800 miles to South Georgia, where there was a permanent camp. They could then return to rescue the rest of the men.
It took Shackleton 17 days to reach South Georgia. Unfortunately he landed on the wrong side of the island, and had to walk 36 hours over mountains to reach the camp. The whale hunters at the camp couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the six men walking down from the mountains. Shackleton kept his promise. More than three months later, be returned to Elephant Island to rescue the crew he had been forced to abandon. He had failed to reach the pole— but he had saved the lives of all his men.
56.What was the goal of the adventure (no more than 8 words)
57.Why did they leave the Endurance (no more than 6 words)
58.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5 (1 word)
59.How did Shackleton save the lives of all his crew (no more than 15 words)

37.考查细节理解。根据 Causes of burns 部分中的"You can get burned by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation (by being close to high heat or fire, etc. ), the sun, electricity or chemicals."你可能会被各种东西烫伤:热液体、蒸汽、火、辐射(通过靠近高温或火等)、太阳、电或化学物质。可知,心脏病不是引起皮肤烧伤的原因。故选D。
38.考查细节理解。根据 Types of burns 部分中的"There are three types of burns. Burns are called first, second or third degree burns, depending on which layers of the skin are burned."烧伤有三种类型。根据烧伤的皮肤层不同,烧伤分为一级、二级或三级。可知,皮肤烧伤是根据烧伤皮肤表面的深度分类的。故选D。

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了来自曼西的Kasia Shelton因从当地一家经销商那里偷车去面试而被捕,并介绍了事情的起因经过以及最后对Shelton的可能处罚。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,句义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
41.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Kasia Shelton from Muncie has been arrested for stealing a vehicle from a local dealership (经销商)."来自曼西的Kasia Shelton因从当地一家经销商那里偷车而被捕。可知,Shelton被捕是因为她偷了一辆车。故选C。
42.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"On the day, Shelton arrived at RDI Motors in Muncie and asked an employee to see a certain 2013 Kia Optima. He showed the car to Shelton and we can only assume he talked in length about its great condition for its age, the features, and the reliability. The employee later told the police that Shelton seemed interested in the car and asked to take it for a test drive."当天,Shelton来到位于曼西的RDI汽车公司,让一名员工看一辆2013年的起亚Optima。他把车拿给Shelton看,我们只能假设他长篇大论地谈论了它的年代、特点和可靠性。这名员工后来告诉警方,谢尔顿似乎对这辆车很感兴趣,并要求试驾。可推知,在向Shelton介绍2013款起亚Optima时,员工的态度是负责的。故选C。
43.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"But while he was talking to her and preparing the car for a drive, the dealership's telephone kept ringing and ringing. He said that he had to excuse himself constantly to go pick up the phone, yet there was never anybody on the other end of the line."但是,当他和她说话,准备开车的时候,经销商的电话一直响个不停。他说他不得不经常找借口去接电话,但电话那头根本没人。可知,是神秘电话阻止了那个员工带Shelton去试驾。故选B。

45.考查句义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的"When the police later showed up at Shelton's door, she seemed confused and thought the officers were pulling off some kind of a joke. She genuinely didn't seem to understand what she was getting arrested for. After all, she returned the Kia to the dealership once she was done with her trip. She didn't plan to keep it"当警察后来出现在Shelton家门口时,她似乎很困惑,以为警察在开什么玩笑。她真的不明白自己为什么被捕。毕竟,她一结束旅行就把起亚还给了经销商。她没打算留着这辆车,所以她认为不值得为这件小事逮捕她。可推知划线部分"what's the big____deal "意思是:这件小事值得逮捕吗?,故选B。

Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress.

However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience. "然而,另一些人对人工智能的想法感到欣慰。也许是人工智能。机器人可以用来代替死去的亲人。今天,制造一台能理解人类思想的全能计算机仍在进行中。我们有伴侣机器人,随着时间的推移,它们很可能会在我们的生活中变得越来越重要。然而,对这种机器人的需求似乎没有我们对智能机器的需求那么重要,智能机器可以通过观察和经验来解决问题。可知,相比之下,人类更需要人工智能机器来帮助我们解决问题,而不是陪伴机器人。故选D。
47.考查句义猜测。根据第三段中的"industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers."可知,这是一个主从复合句,主句是industries often turn to AI to manage these electronic workers"工业通常转向人工智能来管理这些电子工人",定语从句是that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work"使用机器人进行重复或危险的工作的"。AI is often used to manage robots on production lines"人工智能通常用于管理生产线上的机器人"与划线句意思相近。故选B。

Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases (致命疾病). However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us. "全球各国都在各种太空任务上花费了数十亿美元和大量时间,无论是去火星还是去其他更远的星球。有些人认为我们应该停止浪费时间和金钱探索太空。相反,我们应该养活世界上的穷人,并立即找到解决其他问题的办法,比如污染和致命疾病。然而,其他人认为这是一种肤浅的观点,没有意识到探索太空对我们的帮助。可知,本段先引入太空探索的话题,然后介绍了两种对立的看法,再结合下文陈述的太空探索的好处可推知,作者的意图是展现争论,提出论点。故选D。

Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. "最后,将宇航员送入太空有助于人们思考世界上的问题,甚至找到解决问题的方法。看到地球像黑海中的一个岛屿的照片,人们意识到我们星球的资源是有限的。为了养活如此迅速增长的人口,科学家们正在努力寻找其他行星,有朝一日可能成为我们的新家。可知,太空探索有助于人们思考人类面临的资源有限的问题,激励科学家寻找适宜人类居住的行星,解决该问题。因此,作者想表达太空探索有助于发现和解决地球上的问题。故选B。
55.考查推理判断。根据最后一段"In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems. "最后,探索太空为世界提供了许多不同的好处。因此,它应该继续下去,以便为人们的短期和长期问题提供新的更好的解决方案。可知,作者认为太空探索具有积极意义,给人类带来了众多益处,并从三个方面论述了这些益处,主张应继续开展太空探索。可推知,作者的写作目的是说明探索太空的重要性。故选C。

The skin is an essential part of your body and its largest organ. You have three layers(层) of skin which act as a barrier against disease, poisons and the sun's harmful rays. The functions of your skin are also very complex: it keeps you warm or cool; it prevents your body from losing too much water; it is where you feel cold, heat or pain and it gives you your sense of touch. So as you can imagine, if your skin gets burned it can be very serious. First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of burns.
Causes of burns
You can get burned by a variety of things: hot liquids, steam, fire, radiation (by being close to high heat or fire, etc. ), the sun, electricity or chemicals.
Types of burns
There are three types of burns. Burns are called first, second or third degree burns, depending on which layers of the skin are burned.
First degree burns These affect only the top layer of the skin. These burns are not serious and should feel better within a day or two. Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by touching a hot pan, stove or iron for a mordent (熨烫熨斗).
Second degree burns These affect both the top and the second layer of the skin. These burns are serious and take a few weeks to heal. Examples include severe sunburn and burns caused by hot liquids.
Third degree burns These affect all three layers of the skin and any tissue and organs under the skin. Examples include burns caused by electric shocks, burning clothes, or severe petrol fires. These burns cause very severe injuries and the victim must go to hospital at once.
Characteristics of burns
First degree burns
dry, red and mildly swollen(肿胀的)
mildly painful
turn white when pressed
Second degree burns
rough, red and swollen
watery surface
extremely painful
Third degree burns
black and white and charred (烧焦的)
swollen; often tissue under them can be seen
little or no pain if nerves are damaged; may be pain around edge of injured area
36.According to Paragraph 1, the functions of the skin include ____.

You have to get to your job interview, but you don't have access to an automobile. How would you solve this dilemma (困境)? Most people would probably call an Uber or perhaps ask a friend or family member for a ride. But not this Indiana woman. Kasia Shelton from Muncie has been arrested for stealing a vehicle from a local dealership (经销商). According to police reports, the 20-year-old used the 2013 Kia Optima to drive to a job interview in Indianapolis.
The auto theft happened on Monday, October 9. On the day, Shelton arrived at RDI Motors in Muncie and asked an employee to see a certain 2013 Kia Optima. He showed the car to Shelton and we can only assume he talked in length about its great condition for its age, the features, and the reliability. The employee later told the police that Shelton seemed interested in the car and asked to take it for a test drive. But while he was talking to her and preparing the car for a drive, the dealership's telephone kept ringing and ringing. He said that he had to excuse himself constantly to go pick up the phone, yet there was never anybody on the other end of the line. The last time the phone rang was just as the employee had gotten the car ready for Shelton to take it for a test drive. When he got back from the phone, Shelton and the Kia were gone.
The RDI employee immediately called the Muncie Police Department. The police then began using the Flock camera surveillance system(监控系统) in an attempt to spot the car. A while later, they saw the car again, this time returning to Muncie. After that, the cameras lost the car, but we now know that Shelton drove it back to RDI Motors. Finding out wasn't too difficult. The police said they were able to connect the car to Shelton because she had filled out an online form on RDI Motors' website.
When the police later showed up at Shelton's door, she seemed confused and thought the officers were pulling off some kind of a joke. She genuinely didn't seem to understand what she was getting arrested for. After all, she returned the Kia to the dealership once she was done with her trip. She didn't plan to keep it, so what's the big____deal
Whether she understood the reason why or not, Shelton was arrested. She has been charged with auto theft, which could land her in prison for up to two and a half years.
41.Why was Shelton arrested
A.Because she got a job interview.
B.Because she didn't call an Uber.
C.Because she stole a car.
D.Because she drove a 2013 Kia Optima.
42.What was the attitude of the employee when introducing the 2013 Kia Optima to Shelton
A.Uninterested. B.Negative. C.Responsible. D.Intolerable.
43.What stopped the employee from taking Shelton to the test drive
A.Some other clients. B.Mysterious phone calls.
C.Shelton's attitude. D.His colleagues' calls.
44.How did the police find Shelton
A.By searching the Flock camera surveillance system.
B.Through the interview company.
C.By inquiring RDI motors' employees.
D.Through the personal information she left on the site.
45.The underlined part "what's the big deal " in Paragraph 4 can be understood as ____.
A.Don't you think that's the reason you arrest me
B.Is this small thing worth an arrest
C.Is this a deal
D.Do you think I should buy the car

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道,报道了来自曼西的Kasia Shelton因从当地一家经销商那里偷车去面试而被捕,并介绍了事情的起因经过以及最后对Shelton的可能处罚。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,句义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查,是一篇新闻报道,通读全文,理解文章大意,阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容,仔细核对,选择符合原文原意的答案,完成后再次阅读并检查。
41.考查细节理解。根据第一段中的"Kasia Shelton from Muncie has been arrested for stealing a vehicle from a local dealership (经销商)."来自曼西的Kasia Shelton因从当地一家经销商那里偷车而被捕。可知,Shelton被捕是因为她偷了一辆车。故选C。
42.考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"On the day, Shelton arrived at RDI Motors in Muncie and asked an employee to see a certain 2013 Kia Optima. He showed the car to Shelton and we can only assume he talked in length about its great condition for its age, the features, and the reliability. The employee later told the police that Shelton seemed interested in the car and asked to take it for a test drive."当天,Shelton来到位于曼西的RDI汽车公司,让一名员工看一辆2013年的起亚Optima。他把车拿给Shelton看,我们只能假设他长篇大论地谈论了它的年代、特点和可靠性。这名员工后来告诉警方,谢尔顿似乎对这辆车很感兴趣,并要求试驾。可推知,在向Shelton介绍2013款起亚Optima时,员工的态度是负责的。故选C。
43.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"But while he was talking to her and preparing the car for a drive, the dealership's telephone kept ringing and ringing. He said that he had to excuse himself constantly to go pick up the phone, yet there was never anybody on the other end of the line."但是,当他和她说话,准备开车的时候,经销商的电话一直响个不停。他说他不得不经常找借口去接电话,但电话那头根本没人。可知,是神秘电话阻止了那个员工带Shelton去试驾。故选B。
44.考查细节理解。根据倒数第三段中的"The police said they were able to connect the car to Shelton because she had filled out an online form on RDI Motors' website."警方表示,他们能够将这辆车与Shelton联系起来,是因为她在RDI汽车公司的网站上填写了一份在线表格。可知,警察是通过Shelton留在网站上的个人信息找到她的。故选D。
45.考查句义猜测。根据倒数第二段中的"When the police later showed up at Shelton's door, she seemed confused and thought the officers were pulling off some kind of a joke. She genuinely didn't seem to understand what she was getting arrested for. After all, she returned the Kia to the dealership once she was done with her trip. She didn't plan to keep it"当警察后来出现在Shelton家门口时,她似乎很困惑,以为警察在开什么玩笑。她真的不明白自己为什么被捕。毕竟,她一结束旅行就把起亚还给了经销商。她没打算留着这辆车,所以她认为不值得为这件小事逮捕她。可推知划线部分"what's the big____deal "意思是:这件小事值得逮捕吗?,故选B。

Is it possible to make machines think like humans This is one question in research in the field of Artificial Intelligence, or "AI" To think like a human, it involves feelings, morality, hopes, and dreams. Humans are capable of making decisions by themselves without input from others, and they can learn from experience. In addition, humans are able to create things from their own inspiration for their own pleasure. The question is whether machines can ever really think in all these aspects. The idea of a computer that is all-powerful and can think and make decisions for itself terrifies many people. In some films, Al even decides that all humans must be killed. Many people are also concerned that AI will be used to replace humans.
Yet others are comforted by the thought of Al. Maybe with AJ. robots can be made to replace loved ones who have died. Today, the creation of an all-powerful computer capable of human thought is still in progress. We have companion (陪伴) robots, and it is likely that they will grow more important in our lives as time goes by. However, the need for such robots does not seem to be as critical as our need for intelligent machines that can solve problems by learning from their observations and experience.
For example, AI is already being used with great success in Internet search engines and as a personal assistant in our smartphones. It learns from our habits to help us find what we want and like. Al is also used to diagnose (诊断) problems and suggest solutions. Researchers are also experimenting with the use of AI in driverless cars which can sense their surroundings and decide on the best way to reach a destination. It is also being used in education, particularly in online courses. Furthermore, industries that use robots for repetitive or dangerous work often turn to Al to manage these electronic workers. In addition, virtual assistants are also being used in some homes today. In the near future, it is likely that Al will be used to manage smart homes and handle an even greater variety of tasks such as setting out favourite clothes and helping us with our personal grooming (梳妆). The Al of today has already proven its superiority to humans in many areas. Do you think that we can create a robot that thinks like a human or one that is even more intelligent If so, is there truly a difference between AI and a human
46.What can we learn from Paragraphs 1 and 2
A.We already have all-powerful computers with the power of human thought.
B.One day the Al will decide on its own to wipe out humans.
C.Robots with AI have the potential to replace our loved ones.
D.In contrast, humans need artificial intelligence machines to help us solve problems rather than companion robots.
47.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean
A.Al will eventually be used to manage workers.
B.AI is often used to manage robots on production lines.
C.Industrial robots are completely different from electronic workers.
D.Industrial robots often turn to Al.
48.What could be inferred from Paragraph 3 about Al
A.Smartphones already have AI technology.
B.Al technology for driverless cars is already mature.
C.AJ has been being used to mange smart homes.
D.Artificial intelligence has proved its superiority over humanity in all fields.
49.What is the author's attitude towards Al
A.Short-sighted. B.Wait-and-see. C.Optimistic. D.Skeptical.
50.What makes the best title for the passage
A.Al Thinks Like Humans B.AI Robots

Countries around the globe are spending billions of dollars and lots of time on various space missions, whether to Mars or other planets much further away. Some people argue that we should stop wasting time and money exploring space. Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases (致命疾病). However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us.
Firstly, exploring space has already made a difference in the fight against world hunger. It has directly resulted in the many satellites that now orbit Earth. A number of the satellites record data on land and weather patterns. Then the data is transmitted (传送) to scientists on Earth. After careful analysis, the scientists can provide useful recommendations and advice for farmers. As a result, space-based science has helped farming in its efforts to grow enough food to feed Earth's increasing population.
Secondly, space exploration has already promoted technological improvements that benefit us all. High-end products around the world are made to a higher standard now because of advanced technology which was first created to meet the requirements for space exploration. For example, space technologies have helped the research and development of different types of new material. They have also helped companies make better heart monitors and other machines that doctors regularly use. Today, space technologies are widely used in all kinds of industries, and everyday products such as GPS, memory foam pillows (记忆棉枕头), and smartphone cameras are changing our lives.
Finally, sending astronauts into space has helped people to think about the world's problems and even to find ways to solve them. Seeing pictures of our planet as an island in a black sea made people realise that our planet's resources are limited. In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. The greatest attention at present is on Mars because it is closer to Earth. In the future, humans may live on both planets.
In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems.
51.In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ____.
A.propose a definition B.make a comparison
C.reach a conclusion D.present an argument
52.Which of the following is TRUE about the satellites
A.They can collect information of the land and weather changes.
B.They can provide useful recommendations for farmers.
C.They can fight against world hunger directly.
D.They can analyze the data and make suggestions.
53.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3
A.Space exploration no longer requires high-end products.
B.High-end products cannot meet the needs of space exploration.
C.Our daily life has benefited from the development of space technology.
D.The development of new material is a must for space exploration.
54.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 4
A.Space exploration has changed the way our planet works.
B.Space exploration helps to discover and solve Earth's problems.
C.In the future, all humans may have to move to Mars.
D.Resource shortage and population growth are already serious problems.
55.What is the author's purpose in writing the passage
A.To provide guidance on how to carry out space exploration.
B.To stress the need of promoting technology.
C.To state the importance of exploring space.
D.To suggest a way of meeting the requirements for space exploration.

Instead, we should feed the world's poor and find immediate solutions to other problems, such as pollution and fatal diseases (致命疾病). However, others feel this is a shallow view which fails to realise how exploring space helps us. "全球各国都在各种太空任务上花费了数十亿美元和大量时间,无论是去火星还是去其他更远的星球。有些人认为我们应该停止浪费时间和金钱探索太空。相反,我们应该养活世界上的穷人,并立即找到解决其他问题的办法,比如污染和致命疾病。然而,其他人认为这是一种肤浅的观点,没有意识到探索太空对我们的帮助。可知,本段先引入太空探索的话题,然后介绍了两种对立的看法,再结合下文陈述的太空探索的好处可推知,作者的意图是展现争论,提出论点。故选D。

In order to provide for such a rapidly increasing population, scientists are trying to find other planets that could one day be our new home. "最后,将宇航员送入太空有助于人们思考世界上的问题,甚至找到解决问题的方法。看到地球像黑海中的一个岛屿的照片,人们意识到我们星球的资源是有限的。为了养活如此迅速增长的人口,科学家们正在努力寻找其他行星,有朝一日可能成为我们的新家。可知,太空探索有助于人们思考人类面临的资源有限的问题,激励科学家寻找适宜人类居住的行星,解决该问题。因此,作者想表达太空探索有助于发现和解决地球上的问题。故选B。
55.考查推理判断。根据最后一段"In closing, exploring space provides the world with many different benefits. Therefore, it should continue so as to provide new and better solutions to people's short-term and long-term problems.

(2023高三上·南开期末) 阅读短文, 按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
On 8th August, 1914, 27 men who had replied to an advertisement in The Times boarded a ship leaving for the Antarctic (南极洲). The name of the ship was the Endurance and the captain was an Irishman called Ernest Shackleton.
The aim of the journey was to cross the frozen continent via the South Pole — a journey of 1, 800 miles. Shackleton thought the journey would last six months.
But when land came into sight, the Endurance became trapped in the ice and began to break up. Shackleton and his men watched the Endurance sink into the icy sea. They then headed north, pulling three lifeboats behind them.
After six days, bad weather forced them to give up and the men set up camp on a sheet of ice which began slowly moving across the Antarctic Circle.
They survived on the ice for five months. Then, on 16th April, 1915, Shackleton saw land. It was Elephant Island-a large rock with nothing growing on it, but much better than a floating piece of ice. When they reached the island, Shackleton came up with an idea—it was a risk but he would have to take it. He and five men would take one of the lifeboats, and sail 800 miles to South Georgia, where there was a permanent camp. They could then return to rescue the rest of the men.
It took Shackleton 17 days to reach South Georgia. Unfortunately he landed on the wrong side of the island, and had to walk 36 hours over mountains to reach the camp. The whale hunters at the camp couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the six men walking down from the mountains. Shackleton kept his promise. More than three months later, be returned to Elephant Island to rescue the crew he had been forced to abandon. He had failed to reach the pole— but he had saved the lives of all his men.
56.What was the goal of the adventure (no more than 8 words)
57.Why did they leave the Endurance (no more than 6 words)
58.What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 5 (1 word)
59.How did Shackleton save the lives of all his crew (no more than 15 words)
60.What do you think of Shackleton Please explain. (no more than 20 words)
【答案】56.To cross the Antarctic via the South Pole.
57.Because it sank into the sea
58.Moving.
59.He led five men to South Geode's permanent camp to seek assistance.
60.He is brave and supportive/a source of strength. Because he could do anything to save his crew.
【知识点】词义猜测题;细节理解题;故事阅读类;记叙文
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了1914年8月8日,27个人踏上了经由南极点穿越南极的旅程,途中他们的船沉没了,多亏了Shackleton最后船员才得救。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解,词义猜测和开放题三个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,要求考生在捕捉细节信息的基础上,进一步根据上下文的逻辑关系,进行分析,推理,概括和归纳,从而写出正确答案。
56.考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"The aim of the journey was to cross the frozen continent via the South Pole — a journey of 1, 800 miles."这次旅行的目的是通过南极点穿越冰封的大陆 —— 全程1800英里。可知,这次冒险的目的是经由南极点穿越南极。故答案为To cross the Antarctic via the South Pole.
57.考查细节理解。根据第三段中的"Shackleton and his men watched the Endurance sink into the icy sea. They then headed north, pulling three lifeboats behind them." Shackleton和他的船员们看着"耐力号"沉入冰冷的大海。然后他们拉着三艘救生艇向北驶去。可知,他们离开耐力号是因为它沉入大海了。故答案为Because it sank into the sea.
58.考查词义猜测。根据第四段"After six days, bad weather forced them to give up and the men set up camp on a sheet of ice which began slowly moving across the Antarctic Circle."六天后,恶劣的天气迫使他们放弃,他们在一片开始慢慢横跨南极圈的冰层上扎营;以及第五段中的"Then, on 16th April, 1915, Shackleton saw land."1915年4月16日,沙克尔顿终于看到了陆地;和"It was Elephant Island — a large rock with nothing growing on it, but much better than a"那是大象岛——一块大岩石,上面什么也没有长,但比……好得多,可知,他们看到的陆地是象岛——一块没有长什么东西的大岩石,但是比一块移动的冰要好得多了。故划线词意思是"移动的"。故答案为Moving.
59.考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中的"He and five men would take one of the lifeboats, and sail 800 miles to South Georgia, where there was a permanent camp. They could then return to rescue the rest of the men."他和五个人将乘坐一艘救生艇,航行800英里到达南乔治亚岛,那里有一个永久的营地。然后他们可以回来营救其余的人。可知,沙克尔顿带领五个人到南高德的永久营地寻求帮助,拯救了所有船员的生命的。故答案为He led five men to South Geode's permanent camp to seek assistance.
60.考查开放题。根据最后一段"It took Shackleton 17 days to reach South Georgia. Unfortunately he landed on the wrong side of the island, and had to walk 36 hours over mountains to reach the camp. The whale hunters at the camp couldn't believe their eyes when they saw the six men walking down from the mountains. Shackleton kept his promise. More than three months later, be returned to Elephant Island to rescue the crew he had been forced to abandon. He had failed to reach the pole—but he had saved the lives of all his men."沙克尔顿号花了17天才到达南乔治亚岛。不幸的是,他落在了岛的另一边,不得不走36个小时的山路才能到达营地。当营地里的捕鲸人看到那六个人从山上走下来时,他们简直不敢相信自己的眼睛。沙克尔顿遵守了他的诺言。三个多月后,他回到象岛营救他被迫抛弃的船员。他没能到达极点——但他救了所有同伴的命)"可回答:他很勇敢,支持我/给我力量。因为他可以做任何事来救他的船员。故答案为He is brave and supportive/a source of strength. Because he could do anything to save his crew.
