There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove. However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I've made voyages in fair stormy and weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I've made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm(舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”. It didn't last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we'll name her Talisman.
24．What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid
A．He would help his father build Talisman.
B．He would sail with his father and his sister.
C．He would explore northeast Indiana in a car.
D．He would bring human civilization to sailing.
25．What can we learn about the book Dove
A．It has something to do with exploring the sea.
B．It was published in National Geographic.
C．It is the most famous work by Graham.
D．It was an inspiration for the author's writing.
26．Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis
A．It didn’t function well. B．He couldn’t afford to maintain it.
C．He found a better one to replace it. D．It was damaged seriously during a storm.
27．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To show his passion for sailing boats.
B．To stress the influence of adventures on him.
C．To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea.
D．To share his success in exploring the world.
C
Among thousands of emperor penguins in Atka Bay, a yellow robot named ECHO quickly moves over the Antarctic environment and patiently observes the birds. The autonomous, remote-controlled robot is about three feet long and stands at eye level with the adult penguins. It monitors Southern Ocean ecosystems in real-time, year-round with small impact on wildlife.
ECHO was designed by the Marine Animal Remote Sensing Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. Scientists hope to use the robot as part of a 30-year project looking at the impact of climate change on the region. Since emperor penguins are among the top predators (捕食性动物) in the region, studying their populations can show the health of the Antarctic environment.
Scientists must physically catch penguins and put chips on their hacks to track them. But to gather data on the chips, scientists have to get close enough to the devices to scan (扫描) them, and sometimes, penguins are hard to locate, or the weather may be too terrible for humans to go out in the field.
ECHO removes these issues by acting as a mobile observatory that can monitor thousands of penguins each year. The robot can easily approach the penguins and scan the chips without introducing a harmful human footprint or affecting the birds. The robot is equipped with LIDAR, or light detection and ranging, and a 360-degree camera that can monitor penguins on large areas and uses an antenna (天线) to read each penguin’s chip.
While ECHO has only been tested for a year, researchers say the penguins do not seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. When penguins gather in large groups during the wintertime, ECHO can steal in and scan penguins as they brave the elements. By tracking their behaviors over time, researchers can observe how penguins adapt and follow where they go to search for food. In turn, these data points can also determine the true size of protected areas of the sea.
28．Why do researchers monitor the penguins
A．To further understand the food chain.
B．To protect the birds from being hunted.
C．To find out how the birds survive winters.
D．To learn about the Antarctic environment.
29．How do researchers get the information about the penguins
A．By keeping a few of them. B．By visiting them often in person.
C．By attaching chips to them. D．By referring to previous findings.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The advantages of the robot. B．The challenges of the project.
C．The population of the penguins. D．The environment of the region.
31．What can we infer about ECHO from the last paragraph
A．It will be joined by more robots. B．Its work is going on smoothly.
C．It will be brought back before long. D．Its equipment requires updating.

Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text. The free tool has been around for just five weeks but is already raising tough questions about the future of AI in education, the tech industry and a host of professions.
ChatGPT was launched on Nov. 30 and is part of a new generation of AI systems that can chat, generate readable text on demand and even produce novel images and video based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media. But unlike previous models of so-called “large language models”, such as Open AI’s GPT-3, launched in 2020, the ChatGPT tool is available to anyone with an Internet connection for free and designed to be more user-friendly. It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
Millions of people have played with it over the past month, using it to write silly poems or songs, trying to trick it into making mistakes, or for more practical purposes such as helping compose an email.
As with similar systems, ChatGPT can generate convincing prose, but that doesn't mean what it says is factual or logical. Its launch came with little guidance on how to use it, other than a promise that ChatGPT will admit when it's wrong.
Many school districts are still struggling to figure out how to set policies on whether and how it can be used. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” said a school’s spokesperson Jenna Lyle from NYC． But there's no stopping a student from accessing ChatGPT from a personal phone or computer at home.
32．What can we learn about the term paper from paragraph 1
A．It is a result of the improvement of education. B．It can be rated as passing by schoolteachers.
C．It has caught the attention of the public.D．It acts as a model for students to follow.
33．What makes Chat GPT different from GPT-3
A．ChatGPT can create text. B．ChatGPT can edit digital books.
C．ChatGPT is free of charge to all. D．ChatGPT can ask its users questions.
34．What is Jenna's attitude towards students’ use of Chat GPT
A．Favourable. B．Tolerant. C．Uncaring. D．Disapproving.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．How Are Schools Handling Chat GPT
B．You Can Check When ChatGPT’s Telling the Truth
C．What Is ChatGPT and Why Are Schools Blocking It
D．Students Are Using ChatGPT to Do Their Homework

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。
Lately, I was deeply touched with two movies about faithful dogs：A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home. A dog's life cycled and cycled only to meet his first owner while the other covered 400 miles of toil and hunger all the way back to her home. I had a faithful dog too when I was a little girl, but it was a different story.
When my dad first took him home in a cardboard box, he was so quiet that I even doubted whether there was really a dog in it. When I peeped through two small holes on the side, I just saw a patch of grey fur. My dad assured me that it was just a small dog before I dared to open the box. There he was! What a lovely grey dog! He was slim and looked smart. I was on my knees as I cheerfully observed him. However, he tried to avoid eye contact with me, apparently a little scared with everything strange around. I wanted to pet his head but he only turned his head away.
When he became familiar with me, I called him Billy and he was really delighted, zagging his tail. Every time I left for school, he saw me off. When I came back, he ways waited on my way home and greeted me with his licks and brushed his head against legs. When Billy was in the kitchen with my father, lying on a small heap of firewood side the furnace （灶）,he could always know which piece of firewood my dad would pick and raised his paw in time. It always surprised me how intelligent and considerate Billy I imagined him turning into a small boy carrying my schoolbag for me and talking my dad. With Billy brightening every day of my childhood, I was more than happy.
Paragraph 1：
But one day, Billy was seriously ill.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2：
A few years later, I went to a dog's shelter to try my luck.

【原文】
Good afternoon, I’d like to share with you about working from home. Before COVID-19, my company believed that working in the office was good for productivity. But after over a year of working from home, many of us are starting to question traditional ways of working. Our boss did some research on the issue and discovered that 80% of employees have enjoyed working from home. 42% felt that they’ve been just as productive as they were in an office, and 28% felt they were more productive at home. For me, one of the best things was not having to travel an hour to and from work each day. This meant I got more sleep, and had more time for family and hobbies. I also didn’t have many questions from co-workers, so it was easier to focus, and get more work done in less time. But there were problems, too. I felt lonely at times and having online meetings could be very upset! Worst of all, it could be difficult to stop working because I didn’t have to leave the office. In the future, I’d like a flexible approach to work from home several days a week and in the office for the rest.

There’s another universe not far from land. It lacks buildings, trees, cars, cellphones and the Internet. Seemingly limitless water extends uninterruptedly in all directions. Civilization goes away, along with any sign of humanity. And it is why I’m really into sailing. I grew up around boats. My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio, where Talisman built by my father waited patiently through the week.
As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove. However, it wasn't until about 20 years ago, well into my adulthood, that I took up sailing in a serious way. I've made voyages in fair stormy and weather, on my own boats and those of my friends, and ranging from nearshore day sails to blue-water passages.
Still, I've made plenty of mistakes. While living in Asia, a sailing friend and I set off across the South China Sea and intended to get to Thailand, only to be pushed by a late-season typhoon that forced us to make landfall in Vietnam, glad to be alive.
Years later, my wife and I lived aboard our 37-foot ship, Symbiosis, while we saved enough to take a two-year leave from our jobs to journey down the U.S. Atlantic coast and through the Bahamas and the Caribbean. We visited many places that never see ships or airplanes and that are nearly impossible to reach anyway other than at the helm(舵柄) of a small boat. But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only “other people's boats”. It didn't last, though. A few months ago, we found a good deal on a smaller sailboat—easier to maintain but still capable of some short offshore journeys. I think we'll name her Talisman.
24．What would the author do on summer weekends as a kid
A．He would help his father build Talisman.
B．He would sail with his father and his sister.
C．He would explore northeast Indiana in a car.
D．He would bring human civilization to sailing.
25．What can we learn about the book Dove
A．It has something to do with exploring the sea.
B．It was published in National Geographic.
C．It is the most famous work by Graham.
D．It was an inspiration for the author's writing.
26．Why did the author sell his ship Symbiosis
A．It didn’t function well. B．He couldn’t afford to maintain it.
C．He found a better one to replace it. D．It was damaged seriously during a storm.
27．What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text
A．To show his passion for sailing boats.
B．To stress the influence of adventures on him.
C．To discuss the problems of sailing on the sea.
D．To share his success in exploring the world.
【答案】BABA
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己对航海的热爱。
24．细节理解题。根据第一段的“My father liked sailing and built them. My older sister and I were stuffed into a car nearly every summer weekend until my late teens to make the trip from northeast Indiana to the south shore of Lake Erie in Ohio… through the week(我父亲喜欢帆船，于是造了它们。几乎每个夏天的周末，我和妹妹都被塞进一辆车里，从印第安纳州东北部前往俄亥俄州的伊利湖南岸，父亲制造的Talisman在那里耐心地等待了整整一个星期。)”可知，作者小时候会在夏天的周末与父亲和妹妹一起航海。故选B。
25．推理判断题。根据第二段的“As a kid, I read the adventures of Robin Lee Graham, a traveller exploring the sea alone, in the pages of National Geographic and, later, in Graham's book, Dove.( 小时候，我读过《国家地理》杂志上的罗宾·李·格雷厄姆的冒险故事，他是一位独自探索海洋的旅行者，后来又读过格雷厄姆的书《鸽子》。)”可推断，这本书与海上探索有关。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段的“But boats are expensive and time-consuming. After returning from the Caribbean a few years ago, we decided to sell Symbiosis, resolving instead to sail only ‘other people’s boats’.(但船既昂贵又费时。几年前从加勒比海回来后，我们决定卖掉Symbiosis，决定只驾驶“别人的船”。)”可知，Symbiosis是昂贵的，也是耗时的。由此可知，作者付不起保养的钱。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“And it is why I’m really into sailing.(这就是我喜欢航海的原因。)”和下文的描述可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是通过记叙自己的过往，展现出对航海的激情。故选A。
C
Among thousands of emperor penguins in Atka Bay, a yellow robot named ECHO quickly moves over the Antarctic environment and patiently observes the birds. The autonomous, remote-controlled robot is about three feet long and stands at eye level with the adult penguins. It monitors Southern Ocean ecosystems in real-time, year-round with small impact on wildlife.
ECHO was designed by the Marine Animal Remote Sensing Lab at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. Scientists hope to use the robot as part of a 30-year project looking at the impact of climate change on the region. Since emperor penguins are among the top predators (捕食性动物) in the region, studying their populations can show the health of the Antarctic environment.
Scientists must physically catch penguins and put chips on their hacks to track them. But to gather data on the chips, scientists have to get close enough to the devices to scan (扫描) them, and sometimes, penguins are hard to locate, or the weather may be too terrible for humans to go out in the field.
ECHO removes these issues by acting as a mobile observatory that can monitor thousands of penguins each year. The robot can easily approach the penguins and scan the chips without introducing a harmful human footprint or affecting the birds. The robot is equipped with LIDAR, or light detection and ranging, and a 360-degree camera that can monitor penguins on large areas and uses an antenna (天线) to read each penguin’s chip.
While ECHO has only been tested for a year, researchers say the penguins do not seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. When penguins gather in large groups during the wintertime, ECHO can steal in and scan penguins as they brave the elements. By tracking their behaviors over time, researchers can observe how penguins adapt and follow where they go to search for food. In turn, these data points can also determine the true size of protected areas of the sea.
28．Why do researchers monitor the penguins
A．To further understand the food chain.
B．To protect the birds from being hunted.
C．To find out how the birds survive winters.
D．To learn about the Antarctic environment.
29．How do researchers get the information about the penguins
A．By keeping a few of them. B．By visiting them often in person.
C．By attaching chips to them. D．By referring to previous findings.
30．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The advantages of the robot. B．The challenges of the project.
C．The population of the penguins. D．The environment of the region.
31．What can we infer about ECHO from the last paragraph
A．It will be joined by more robots. B．Its work is going on smoothly.
C．It will be brought back before long. D．Its equipment requires updating.
【答案】DCAB
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种叫做ECHO的机器人，它可以监控企鹅，从而检测南极的气候变化。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段“Among thousands of emperor penguins in Atka Bay, a yellow robot named ECHO quickly moves over the Antarctic environment and patiently observes the birds. The autonomous, remote-controlled robot is about three feet long and stands at eye level with the adult penguins. It monitors Southern Ocean ecosystems in real-time, year-round with small impact on wildlife.(在阿特卡湾的数千只帝企鹅中，一个名为ECHO的黄色机器人迅速在南极环境中移动，并耐心地观察这些鸟类。这个自主遥控机器人大约有三英尺长，与成年企鹅站在同一高度。它全年实时监测南大洋的生态系统，对野生动物的影响很小)”可知，研究人员监测企鹅以了解南极的环境。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Scientists must physically catch penguins and put chips on their hacks to track them.( 科学家必须亲自捕捉企鹅，并在它们的黑客身上加上芯片来追踪它们)”可知，研究人员通过在企鹅身上贴上芯片来获取有关企鹅的信息。故选C。
30．主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“ECHO removes these issues by acting as a mobile observatory that can monitor thousands of penguins each year. The robot can easily approach the penguins and scan the chips without introducing a harmful human footprint or affecting the birds. The robot is equipped with LIDAR, or light detection and ranging, and a 360-degree camera that can monitor penguins on large areas and uses an antenna (天线) to read each penguin’s chip.( ECHO通过充当一个移动天文台来消除这些问题，每年可以监测数千只企鹅。该机器人可以很容易地接近企鹅并扫描芯片，而不会引入有害的人类足迹或影响鸟类。该机器人配备了激光雷达或光探测和测距，以及一个360度摄像头，可以大面积监测企鹅，并使用天线读取每只企鹅的芯片)”可知，本段主要介绍ECHO机器人的好处。故选A。
31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“While ECHO has only been tested for a year, researchers say the penguins do not seem to be afraid of it and don’t mind it when it comes near. When penguins gather in large groups during the wintertime, ECHO can steal in and scan penguins as they brave the elements.(虽然ECHO只进行了一年的测试，但研究人员表示，企鹅似乎并不害怕它，也不介意它靠近它。当企鹅在冬季成群结队地聚集时，ECHO可以在企鹅勇敢面对大自然时偷偷进入并扫描它们)”可推知，ECHO的工作进展顺利。故选B。

Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text. The free tool has been around for just five weeks but is already raising tough questions about the future of AI in education, the tech industry and a host of professions.
ChatGPT was launched on Nov. 30 and is part of a new generation of AI systems that can chat, generate readable text on demand and even produce novel images and video based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media. But unlike previous models of so-called “large language models”, such as Open AI’s GPT-3, launched in 2020, the ChatGPT tool is available to anyone with an Internet connection for free and designed to be more user-friendly. It works like a written dialogue between the AI system and the person asking it questions.
Millions of people have played with it over the past month, using it to write silly poems or songs, trying to trick it into making mistakes, or for more practical purposes such as helping compose an email.
As with similar systems, ChatGPT can generate convincing prose, but that doesn't mean what it says is factual or logical. Its launch came with little guidance on how to use it, other than a promise that ChatGPT will admit when it's wrong.
Many school districts are still struggling to figure out how to set policies on whether and how it can be used. “While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success,” said a school’s spokesperson Jenna Lyle from NYC． But there's no stopping a student from accessing ChatGPT from a personal phone or computer at home.
32．What can we learn about the term paper from paragraph 1
A．It is a result of the improvement of education. B．It can be rated as passing by schoolteachers.
C．It has caught the attention of the public. D．It acts as a model for students to follow.
33．What makes Chat GPT different from GPT-3
A．ChatGPT can create text. B．ChatGPT can edit digital books.
C．ChatGPT is free of charge to all. D．ChatGPT can ask its users questions.
34．What is Jenna's attitude towards students’ use of Chat GPT
A．Favourable. B．Tolerant. C．Uncaring. D．Disapproving.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．How Are Schools Handling Chat GPT
B．You Can Check When ChatGPT’s Telling the Truth
C．What Is ChatGPT and Why Are Schools Blocking It
D．Students Are Using ChatGPT to Do Their Homework
【答案】BCDC
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。ChatGPT是最近推出的新一代人工智能系统，功能强大，但是美国纽约市的一些学校决定在学校设备和网络上限制ChatGPT，因为学生可能使用它作弊。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams.(让新的人工智能工具ChatGPT写一篇关于美国内战起因的文章，你可以看到它在几秒钟内写出一篇有说服力的学期论文，甚至可以通过学校考试)”可知，学期论文可以被学校老师评为及格。故选B。
33．细节理解题。根据第二段的 But unlike previous models of so-called“large language models”, such as Open AI’s GPT-3, launched in 2020, the ChatGPT tool is available to anyone with an Internet connection for free and designed to be more user-friendly.(但与之前所谓的“大型语言模型”不同，比如Open AI在2020年推出的GPT-3, ChatGPT工具对任何有互联网连接的人都是免费的，而且设计得更加用户友好)”可知，ChatGPT与GPT-3的不同之处在于ChatGPT面向任何人都是免费的。故选C。
34．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“While the tool may be able to provide quick and easy answers to questions, it does not build critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, which are essential for academic and lifelong success(虽然这个工具可能能够提供快速而简单的问题答案，但它并不能培养批判性思维和解决问题的能力，而这对学术和终身成功至关重要)”可推断，Jenna对学生使用ChatGPT持否定态度。故选D。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Ask the new artificial intelligence (AI) tool ChatGPT to write an essay about the cause of the American Civil War and you can watch it produce a persuasive term paper in a matter of seconds that has even be enable to pass school exams. That’s one reason why New York City school officials this week started blocking the impressive but controversial writing tool that can generate paragraphs of human-like text.(让新的人工智能工具ChatGPT写一篇关于美国内战起因的文章，你可以看到它在几秒钟内写出一篇有说服力的学期论文，甚至可以通过学校考试。这就是为什么纽约市的学校官员本周开始封锁这个令人印象深刻但有争议的写作工具的原因之一，这个工具可以生成类似人类的文本段落)”结合文章说明了ChatGPT是最近推出的新一代人工智能系统，功能强大，但是美国纽约市的一些学校决定在学校设备和网络上限制ChatGPT，因为学生可能使用它作弊。故C选项“什么是ChatGPT，为什么学校要屏蔽它？”最符合文章标题。故选C。

【答案】
56．was designed 57．The 58．original 59．which 60．has produced 61．but 62．measures 63．performance 64．to complete 65．randomly
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了由佐治亚理工学院设计的一款可编写和播放自己的音乐的机器人。
56．考查时态、被动语态和主谓一致。句意：乔治亚理工学院设计的一款机器人利用深度学习、人工智能和大数据编写和播放自己的音乐。空格处在定语从句中作谓语，which指代先行词A robot，在定语从句中作主语，和动词design构成被动关系，根据句意可知，动作已发生，应用一般过去时，且主语为名词的单数形式，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填was designed。
57．考查冠词。句意：这个叫希蒙的机器人看起来有点奇怪。空格处位于名词robot之前，且此处的robot特制上文提到过的机器人，表示特指，应用定冠词the。故填The。
58．考查形容词。句意：希蒙不仅可以使用人工智能创作音乐，还可以现场表演其原创作品。根据空格后的名词compositions可知，空格前应填形容词作定语，结合句意“原创的”是original。故填original。
59．考查定语从句。句意：为了实现这一令人印象深刻的技能，科学家们为机器人创作了5000首歌曲，涵盖了从贝多芬到迈尔斯·戴维斯的广泛范围。此处为非限制性定语从句，空格处修饰先行词5,000 songs，在从句中作主语，应用which引导从句。故填which。
60．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，该机器人已经用马林巴琴创作了两首作品。空格处作谓语，根据时间状语So far可知，应用现在完成时，主语the robot为名词的单数形式，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has produced。
61．考查连词。句意：它们很短，但符合日常对“音乐”的分类。空格处的两个分句之间为转折关系，根据句意，应用连词but连接。故填but。
62．考查名词的数。句意：除了给机器提供前四种测量方法作为起点外，没有人参与音乐的创作或完成。空格出应填名词作动词giving的宾语，根据空格前的数词four可知，应用名词的复数形式，measure“方法”为可数名词。故填measures。
63．考查名词。句意：除了给机器提供前四种测量方法作为起点外，没有人参与音乐的创作或完成。根据空格前的冠词the可知，空格处应填名词和compositions构成名列结构，结合句意“完成”是performance，为不可数名词。故填performance。
64．考查非谓语动词。句意：完成这两篇作文花了七年时间。It takes/took time to do sth.为固定句型，意为“花费时间做某事”，其中it为形式主语，真正的主语为动词不定式。故填to complete。
65．考查副词。句意：这不仅仅是一个随机将现有音乐组合在一起并称之为自己音乐的机器人。空格处修饰动词puts，作状语，应用副词形式。故填randomly。

第二节（满分25分）
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。
Lately, I was deeply touched with two movies about faithful dogs：A Dog's Purpose and A Dog's Way Home. A dog's life cycled and cycled only to meet his first owner while the other covered 400 miles of toil and hunger all the way back to her home. I had a faithful dog too when I was a little girl, but it was a different story.
When my dad first took him home in a cardboard box, he was so quiet that I even doubted whether there was really a dog in it. When I peeped through two small holes on the side, I just saw a patch of grey fur. My dad assured me that it was just a small dog before I dared to open the box. There he was! What a lovely grey dog! He was slim and looked smart. I was on my knees as I cheerfully observed him. However, he tried to avoid eye contact with me, apparently a little scared with everything strange around. I wanted to pet his head but he only turned his head away.
When he became familiar with me, I called him Billy and he was really delighted, zagging his tail. Every time I left for school, he saw me off. When I came back, he ways waited on my way home and greeted me with his licks and brushed his head against legs. When Billy was in the kitchen with my father, lying on a small heap of firewood side the furnace （灶）,he could always know which piece of firewood my dad would pick and raised his paw in time. It always surprised me how intelligent and considerate Billy I imagined him turning into a small boy carrying my schoolbag for me and talking my dad. With Billy brightening every day of my childhood, I was more than happy.
Paragraph 1：
But one day, Billy was seriously ill.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2：
A few years later, I went to a dog's shelter to try my luck.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
But one day, Billy was seriously ill. I took him to the pet doctor. The doctor said it was nothing serious and prescribed medicine for him. After returning home, I began to take good care of him. He was so smart that every time I held him, he would look at me gratefully. But his cough got worse and worse, and gradually he could not eat. I was worried about him, but in the end he just left me. I had been sad for a long time, but not been able to find a dog that could replace him.
A few years later, I went to a dog's shelter to try my luck. When I went in, I found a gray dog that looked like Billy. As I looked at him, he tried to avoid eye contact with me, which was just like Billy. I was so happy that I decided to take him home. I gave him a bath and he began to grow closer to me. After that, I became more and more fond of him, and I could feel his closeness to me. I named him Coco. He is unique and I believe he will bring me a lot of happiness.
【分析】本文讲述了父亲送给作者一只可爱的小狗，他很喜欢这只小狗，并且和它相处的很好。可它最后生病死掉了，让作者很伤心，可是幸运地是，他最后又找到一只狗狗，来延续他和狗狗之间的感情的故事。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“但是有一天，他病的很严重。”可知，第一段可描写Billy病得很严重，作者悉心照料还是没能救活他，这让作者很伤心。
②由第二段首句内容“几年之后，我到一个狗狗收容所碰运气。”可知，第二段可描写作者又碰到一只和他有缘的狗狗，他们之间又延续了很好的感情。
2.续写线索：病得很重——悉心照料——Billy死亡——找到Coco——建立感情
3.词汇激活
行为类
①.照顾：take care of/look after
②.回家：go back home/return home
③.决定：decide to do/be determined to do
情绪类
①.喜欢：be fond of/have an affection for
②.高兴：feel happy for/be delighted to
