My father is a retired army officer and thanks to his job, I was able to stay in many different places. Changing
schools, homes, cities and towns was a part of my growing up years. Thus, making new friends came very easily for
me. All I can say about my experience is that to find new friends is always easy. Because someone in your new school
is also looking for your valuable friendship.
The first step towards making new friends is to accept the fact that you need to meet new people. If you keep
complaining about your situation, then it's not going to get you anywhere. Maybe you've moved to a new place or a
new neighbourhood or you have changed a job, whatever the situation is, staying alone is never a perfect idea. Thus
accept your situation and try hard to make a new friend.
Get in touch with people. This is the only way of coming across people and making friends. Begin with a small
change every day. Talk to the person sitting next to you in your classroom. Share your interests with your neighbour.
Talking to the closest person to you will help you build confidence in yourself. This will give you an opportunity to
discover new people.
The biggest mistake that most of us make, while looking for new friends, is that we look for the same qualities that
we liked in our old friends. As a piece of friendly advice, no two people are the same. Therefore, it's not correct on
your part to expect a new person to have the same qualities as your old friends.
If you like to dance, paint, play some sports, listen to music or read, join their clubs. Joining a club help you come
第 3 ，共 8
{#{QQABDYAAogCgAJIAABgCEQUgCkAQkBAAACoORFAIMAAASBNABCA=}#}
across different kinds of people in all kinds of situations. Clubs are great places to meet people, share common
interests and know one another better. Joining a gym is also a great way to meet people; learn from them and have
things to talk about.
24.What does this text mainly tell us
A. Some suggestions on how to learn more. B. Some advice about how to make new friends.
C. Some tips on how to get on well with others D. The author's life experiences in different places.
25.Before his retirement, the author's father used to ______.
A. move from one place to another B. teach the author lots of useful things
C. make lots of friends in his life D. be very strict with the author
26.What is the mistake we often make in looking for new friends
A. Trust other people too easily B. Judge a person only by what he says
C. Compare new friends with our old ones D. Forget our old friend after we have new friends.
27.What kind of people is the text mainly written for
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Foreign travelers. D. Students.
C
The Mozart in the Machine
Sometime in the coming decades，an external system that collects and analyzes biometric data（ 物特征数据）will
probably be able to understand what's going on in my body and in my brain much better than me.What will it do to
art？Will art remain humanity's last line of defense against the rise of the all-knowing algorithms（算法）？
In the modern world art is usually associated with human emotions.We tend to think that artists are controlling
internal psychological forces，and that the whole purpose of art is to connect us with our emotions or to inspire in us
some new feeling.Consequently，when we come to evaluate art，we tend to judge it by its emotional impact and to
believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In 1952，the composer John Cage composed a musical piece 4'33" This piece consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds
during which no instrument plays anything.The piece encourages the audience to observe their inner experiences in
order to examine what music is and what we expect of it.The message is that it is our own expectations and emotions
that define music.
If art is defined by human emotions，what might happen once external algorithms are able to understand and
manipulate human emotions better than Shakespeare，Picasso or Lennon？After all，emotions are not some
mysterious forces—they are a biochemical process.Therefore，given enough biometric data and enough computing
power，it might be possible to hack（ 侵） love，hate，boredom and joy.
Of all forms of art，music is probably th emost sensitive to Big Data analysis，because the inputs are themathematical
patterns of sound waves，and the outputs are the electrochemical signals.Allow a learning machine to go over millions
of musical experiences，and it will learn how particular inputs result in particular outputs.
Therefore，in the long run，algorithms may learn how to compose entire tunes，playing on human emotions as if they
were a piano keyboard.Using your personal biometric data，the algorithms could even produce personalized
melodies，which you alone in the entire world would appreciate.
Will this result in great art？That depends on the definition of art.If beauty is indeed in the ears of their listener，then
biometric algorithms stand a chance of producing the best art in history.If art is about something deeper than human
emotions，biometric algorithms might not make very good artists.But nor would most humans.In order to enter the art
market，algorithms won't have to begin by straight away beating Beethoven.It is enough if they outperform Justin
Bieber.
28.The author mentions the musical piece 4'33" to ______ .
第 4 ，共 8
{#{QQABDYAAogCgAJIAABgCEQUgCkAQkBAAACoORFAIMAAASBNABCA=}#}
A. discuss the effect of silence in a musical piece B. emphasize its emotional impact on the audience
C. show the significance of emotions in defining music D. encourage the audience to observe their inner experiences
29.What does the underlined word "manipulate" in Paragraph 4 mean？______
A. Influence. B. Cover. C. Present. D. Appreciate.
30.What can we learn from this passage？______
A. Computers will take the place of artists one day.
B. Human emotions are much more than biochemical signals.
C. Art is the final wall of humanity against the all-knowing algorithms.
D. Personalized music may be available for people to enjoy in the future.
31.What is the author's attitude towards the future of algorithms music？______
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Confused. D. Positive.
、阅读七选五：本 题共 5 题，共 12.5分。
Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.
(32) Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely
fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here
I am now, living in Sicily.
(33) When you get back home you'll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn't
very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling
with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the
rain and having to walk back.
When you travel, you expose yourself to different people. (34) It's a great learning experience for both you and
the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example,
I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian
background and Iranian philosophy. (35)
Travelling is the realization of home. (36) Since I've been away from London, I've come to appreciate the little
things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport- everything runs on time; everything runs well. So
sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.
A. It was a really interesting discussion.
B. Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.
C. Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.
D. They may have a completely different outlook on life.
E. We realize how much we miss our hometown when we travel.
F. Travelling might just convince you to move to another country.
G. Being away from home, we miss our friends and our family very much.

One day, I found a wallet on the street. The wallet contained only three dollars and a very old letter. The envelope
was worn and the only thing on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some information.
Then I saw the date—1990, and the signature—Beatrice. The letter was written several decades ago.
Then I made every effort and found out that Beatrice was now working in a hospital. I showed her the letter. The
second she saw the letter, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with
Henry. He is my only brother. I loved him very much. I was only 16 at the time and my brother is two years younger
than me. If you can find him, tell him I'm still looking for him," she said and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Mother is waiting for him to come back home."
When I walked out of the building with the wallet in my hand, the guard of the building recognized the wallet, and
with his help, I finally found its owner, Henry. I handed the wallet to Henry and he said, "Yes, that's mine! It must
have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon."
"I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet." I said. The smile on his face suddenly
disappeared. He asked, "You read that letter " "Not only did I read it, but also Beatrice read." I replied. He suddenly
became excited. "Beatrice You know where she is How is she Please tell me," he begged. "She's fine. She has
been looking for you." I said softly.
He grabbed my hand and said, "Sir, you know she is my only sister in this world. I've always missed her."
Henry and I took the elevator (电梯) down to Beatrice's room. I walked over to her. "Beatrice," I said softly,
pointing to Henry, who was waiting with me in the doorway. "Do you know the man "

Text 10 (第17题为推断题)
For most people, doing the laundry is a basic part of life. As long as clean clothes are in demand, a laundry business will be too. Though people always need clean clothes, many don't have time to handle this elementary task. In fact, laundry is often thought to be the least favorable household chore, followed by cooking and sweeping.(18) Considering the constant need for clean clothes, starting a business in the laundry industry can be a great option for a beginner.
Running your own laundry business does not require any specific qualification or experience. The most important thing is: It's necessary to carry out local market research before you make a business plan or buy equipment.(19) Such businesses are most popular in areas with lots of people or where people might not have their own washing machines, for example, the university campus and popular tourist spots.
You may want to run a laundry where customers wash their clothes using your machines. You can also offer services. For example, customers can drop off their laundry, and then pick it up when it's done. You can also offer pick-up and delivery services. Whichever you choose, you'll need washing and drying machines and many other essential things for the business. Keep all of these in mind when you set about calculating the initial costs.(20）

My father is a retired army officer and thanks to his job, I was able to stay in many different places. Changing schools, homes, cities and towns was a part of my growing up years. Thus, making new friends came very easily for me. All I can say about my experience is that to find new friends is always easy. Because someone in your new school is also looking for your valuable friendship.
The first step towards making new friends is to accept the fact that you need to meet new people. If you keep complaining about your situation, then it's not going to get you anywhere. Maybe you've moved to a new place or a new neighbourhood or you have changed a job, whatever the situation is, staying alone is never a perfect idea. Thus accept your situation and try hard to make a new friend.
Get in touch with people. This is the only way of coming across people and making friends. Begin with a small change every day. Talk to the person sitting next to you in your classroom. Share your interests with your neighbour. Talking to the closest person to you will help you build confidence in yourself. This will give you an opportunity to discover new people.
The biggest mistake that most of us make, while looking for new friends, is that we look for the same qualities that we liked in our old friends. As a piece of friendly advice, no two people are the same. Therefore, it's not correct on your part to expect a new person to have the same qualities as your old friends.
If you like to dance, paint, play some sports, listen to music or read, join their clubs. Joining a club help you come across different kinds of people in all kinds of situations. Clubs are great places to meet people, share common interests and know one another better. Joining a gym is also a great way to meet people; learn from them and have things to talk about.
24.What does this text mainly tell us
A. Some suggestions on how to learn more.
B. Some advice about how to make new friends.
C. Some tips on how to get on well with others
D. The author's life experiences in different places.
25.Before his retirement, the author's father used to ______.
A. move from one place to another
B. teach the author lots of useful things
C. make lots of friends in his life
D. be very strict with the author
26.What is the mistake we often make in looking for new friends
A. Trust other people too easily
B. Judge a person only by what he says
C. Compare new friends with our old ones
D. Forget our old friend after we have new friends.
27.What kind of people is the text mainly written for
A. Teachers. B. Parents.
C. Foreign travelers. D. Students.
【答案】B、A、C、D
【解析】【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要讲了一些关于如何结交新朋友的建议。

25. 根据第一段My father is a retired army officer and thanks to his job, I was able to stay in many different places.（我的父亲是一名退役军官，由于他的工作，我能够在许多不同的地方停留。）可知，作者父亲在退休前经常从一个地方搬到另一个地方。故选A。
26. 根据第四段The biggest mistake that most of us make, while looking for new friends, is that we look for the same qualities that we liked in our old friends.（我们大多数人在寻找新朋友时所犯的最大错误是，我们在寻找老朋友身上所拥有的同样的品质。）可知，把新朋友和老朋友进行比较是我们会犯的错误。故选C。

The Mozart in the Machine
Sometime in the coming decades，an external system that collects and analyzes biometric data （生物特征数据） will probably be able to understand what's going on in my body and in my brain much better than me.What will it do to art？Will art remain humanity's last line of defense against the rise of the all-knowing algorithms （算法）？
In the modern world art is usually associated with human emotions.We tend to think that artists are controlling internal psychological forces，and that the whole purpose of art is to connect us with our emotions or to inspire in us some new feeling.Consequently，when we come to evaluate art，we tend to judge it by its emotional impact and to believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
In 1952，the composer John Cage composed a musical piece 4'33" This piece consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds during which no instrument plays anything.The piece encourages the audience to observe their inner experiences in order to examine what music is and what we expect of it.The message is that it is our own expectations and emotions that define music.
If art is defined by human emotions，what might happen once external algorithms are able to understand and manipulate human emotions better than Shakespeare，Picasso or Lennon？After all，emotions are not some mysterious forces —they are a biochemical process.Therefore，given enough biometric data and enough computing power，it might be possible to hack （入侵） love，hate，boredom and joy.
Of all forms of art，music is probably the most sensitive to Big Data analysis，because the inputs are the mathematical patterns of sound waves，and the outputs are the electrochemical signals.Allow a learning machine to go over millions of musical experiences，and it will learn how particular inputs result in particular outputs.
Therefore，in the long run，algorithms may learn how to compose entire tunes，playing on human emotions as if they were a piano keyboard.Using your personal biometric data，the algorithms could even produce personalized melodies，which you alone in the entire world would appreciate.
Will this result in great art？That depends on the definition of art.If beauty is indeed in the ears of their listener，then biometric algorithms stand a chance of producing the best art in history.If art is about something deeper than human emotions，biometric algorithms might not make very good artists.But nor would most humans.In order to enter the art market，algorithms won't have to begin by straight away beating Beethoven.It is enough if they outperform Justin Bieber.
28.The author mentions the musical piece 4'33" to ______ .
A. discuss the effect of silence in a musical piece
B. emphasize its emotional impact on the audience
C. show the significance of emotions in defining music
D. encourage the audience to observe their inner experiences
29.What does the underlined word "manipulate" in Paragraph 4 mean？ ______
A. Influence. B. Cover. C. Present. D. Appreciate.
30.What can we learn from this passage？ ______
A. Computers will take the place of artists one day.
B. Human emotions are much more than biochemical signals.
C. Art is the final wall of humanity against the all-knowing algorithms.
D. Personalized music may be available for people to enjoy in the future.
31.What is the author's attitude towards the future of algorithms music？ ______
A. Uncertain. B. Pessimistic. C. Confused. D. Positive.
【答案】C、A、D、A
【解析】（28）C.推理判断题。根据第一段Consequently，when we come to evaluate art，we tend to judge it by its emotional impact and to believe that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.（因此，当我们评价艺术时，我们倾向于根据它的情感影响来判断它，并相信美在观者的眼中）和第二段中This piece consists of 4 minutes and 33 seconds during which no instrument plays anything.The piece encourages the audience to observe their inner experiences in order to examine what music is and what we expect of it.The message is that it is our own expectations and emotions that define music.（这首曲子时长4分33秒，在这段时间内没有任何乐器演奏。这首曲子鼓励观众观察他们的内心体验，从而审视音乐是什么，以及我们对音乐的期待。它要传递的信息是我们的期望和情感定义了音乐）可推知，作者提及《4'33"》这首曲子的目的是为了用事例来证明情感在定义音乐中的重要作用。故选C。
（29）A.词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句子If art is defined by human emotions，what might happen once external algorithms are able to understand and manipulate human emotions better than Shakespeare，Picasso or Lennon？（如果艺术是由人类情感定义的，那么一旦外部算法能够比莎士比亚、毕加索或列侬更好地理解和操纵人类情感，会发生什么？）结合选项，划线词manipulate在句中与influence同义。A.Influence影响；B.Cover覆盖；C.Present呈现；D.Appreciate欣赏。故选A。
（30）D.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Therefore，in the long run，algorithms may learn how to compose entire tunes，playing on human emotions as if they were a piano keyboard.Using your personal biometric data，the algorithms could even produce personalized melodies，which you alone in the entire world would appreciate.（因此，从长远来看，算法可能会学会如何创作完整的曲调，就像弹钢琴键盘一样根据人类的情感演奏。利用你的个人生物特征数据，算法甚至可以产生个性化的旋律，只有你一个人会欣赏）可推知，在未来人们可能会欣赏到个性化的音乐。故选D。
（31）A.观点态度题。根据最后一段中Will this result in great art？That depends on the definition of art.If beauty is indeed in the ears of their listener，then biometric algorithms stand a chance of producing the best art in history.If art is about something deeper than human emotions，biometric algorithms might not make very good artists.（这会产生伟大的艺术吗？这取决于对艺术的定义。如果美真的在倾听者的耳朵里，那么生物识别算法有可能创造出历史上最好的艺术。如果艺术是关于比人类情感更深层的东西，生物识别算法可能不会成为优秀的艺术家）可知，对于算法音乐的未来，作者并不确定。A.Uncertain不确定的；B.Pessimistic悲观的；C.Confused困惑的；D.Positive积极的。故选A。
本文是一篇说明文。文章分析了生物识别算法的崛起对可能给艺术创作带来的影响。
做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。做题时要在抓住关键句子的基础上合理的分析才能得出正确答案，切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做到有理有据。

Travelling is a great way to interact with a culture which might be completely different from your own.
(32) Before I moved to Sicily I had travelled around the whole of Italy, the south and the north, and I absolutely fell in love with the culture and the language, so I was inspired to learn the language and also to move here. And here I am now, living in Sicily.
(33) When you get back home you'll have lots of stories to tell your friends and family. Even if something isn't very fun, it will be funny to look back and laugh at those awkward or harsh moments. For example, I was travelling with a group of friends in Pisa and we took the wrong bus to get to the beach area, so we ended up being stuck in the rain and having to walk back.
When you travel, you expose yourself to different people. (34) It's a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinions on a range of topics. For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy. (35)
Travelling is the realization of home. (36) Since I've been away from London, I've come to appreciate the little things that I used to take for granted, like our amazing transport- everything runs on time; everything runs well. So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.
A. It was a really interesting discussion.
B. Travelling will make you a really good storyteller.
C. Travelling could enrich your awareness of the world.
D. They may have a completely different outlook on life.

34. 根据空格上文“When you travel you expose yourself to different people.”和下文“It's a great learning experience for both you and the other person because you can share and exchange your own ideas and opinion on a range of topics.”可知，当你旅行时，你会遇到不同的人，这对你和另一个人都是一个好的学习经历，因为你们可以在一系列的话题上共享和交流自己的想法和观点。故D项“他们或许对生活有完全不同的观点”切题。故选D。
35. 根据空格上文“For example, I met an Iranian philosopher and we talked about the nature of magic. A lot of his ideas were shaped by his Iranian background and Iranian philosophy.”可知，我遇到一个伊朗摄影师，我们讨论了魔法的本质，他的很多思想都是由他的伊朗背景和伊朗哲学形成的。因此小题4要总结性地说明它是真正有趣的讨论。故A选项“它是真正有趣的讨论”切题。故选A。
36. 根据空格下文“So sometimes it takes being away from home to realize how much you absolutely love your hometown.”可知，有时候远离家乡才会意识到你多么爱你的故乡，所以小题5与本句为并列关系，来一同说明本段的主题。故E项“当我们旅行时，我们意识到我们多么怀念家乡”切题。故选E。

67.The doctor e______ me carefully and told me there was nothing wrong with me.
【答案】examined
【解析】句意：医生仔细检查了我，告诉我没有什么问题。由句中的and told me there was nothing wrong with me和首字母提示可知，examine“检查”，动词；且结合and后的动词told可知，设空处与之并列作句子的谓语，也应用动词-ed形式，故填examined。
68.Everything is within your reach as long as you change your ________(消极的) attitude and work hard.
【答案】negative
【解析】 句意：只要你改变消极的态度，努力工作，一切都是触手可及的。根据汉语提示以及空后的名词attitude可知用形容词negative作定语，修饰名词attitude。
69.Pleasure is only a t______ feeling that comes from the world around us.

【答案】absorb
【解析】句意：我一直在忙着学习和尝试理解我周围的所有新事物——我想我仍然在经历文化冲击。absorb“理解，吸收”，动词；try to do sth.尝试做某事，不定式to后跟动词原形。故填absorb。

One day, I found a wallet on the street. The wallet contained only three dollars and a very old letter. The envelope was worn and the only thing on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some information. Then I saw the date—1990, and the signature—Beatrice. The letter was written several decades ago.
Then I made every effort and found out that Beatrice was now working in a hospital. I showed her the letter. The second she saw the letter, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Henry. He is my only brother. I loved him very much. I was only 16 at the time and my brother is two years younger than me. If you can find him, tell him I'm still looking for him," she said and tears began to well up in her eyes. "Mother is waiting for him to come back home."
When I walked out of the building with the wallet in my hand, the guard of the building recognized the wallet, and with his help, I finally found its owner, Henry. I handed the wallet to Henry and he said, "Yes, that's mine! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon."
"I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet." I said. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. He asked, "You read that letter " "Not only did I read it, but also Beatrice read." I replied. He suddenly became excited. "Beatrice You know where she is How is she Please tell me," he begged. "She's fine. She has been looking for you." I said softly.
He grabbed my hand and said, "Sir, you know she is my only sister in this world. I've always missed her."
Henry and I took the elevator (电梯) down to Beatrice's room. I walked over to her. "Beatrice," I said softly, pointing to Henry, who was waiting with me in the doorway. "Do you know the man "

About three weeks later I got a call at my office from Beatrice. "Can you break away on Sunday to attend a party Henry and Beatrice are going to have a party in the home!" It was a beautiful party with all the people dressed up to join in the celebration. If you ever wanted to see a woman and a man acting like two teenagers, you had to see this elder sister and younger brother. It was a perfect ending for a family affection that had lasted nearly several decades.
