Dad must have forgotten his birthday gift．Just then a voice came, “Astronaut Tom, are you ready to take off？” Curiously, Tom turned around and saw Dad riding on a spaceship．The spaceship was made out of big box and it had wings and big room to ride on．It was not what he wanted, but it was better．

B
Tod Morgan was born blind, mentally challenged, and autistic．So he couldn't see; he could not learn like other children, and he didn't interact with people very much．He did not seem to have much of a chance．Then, when he was two years old, he began to play little songs on his tiny toy piano．He could play perfectly some of the children's tunes he had heard．
Today, Tod works as a professional pianist．He plays jazz, Broadway songs, and classical pieces．After hearing a tune, he can imitate it almost perfectly the first time he plays it．Tod doesn't only imitate; he is creative too．He can change a classical piece to a jazz piece, a jazz piece to a polka, and a polka to a waltz．In addition to the piano, Tod can play 13 other instruments and also can sing．Tod's list of musical heroes includes Louis Daniel Armstrong, Mozart, and Beethoven．How can this be？How can such a severely challenged person be so musically talented
Tod has what is called “savant syndrome”—a condition in which a mentally challenged person has a highly developed talent of a specific kind．Savant syndrome is a mystery to medical researchers．One person who is studying savant syndrome is Dr David Brighton．He says that he has never seen a musical savant like Tod．Most musical savants are limited to simply repeating tunes they hear．Dr Brighton points out that Tod's ability to come up with his own tunes is a giant step beyond memorization．
As for Tod, after studying jazz piano at the Rivers School in Massachusetts, he attended and graduated from the famous Berklee College of Music in Boston．Tod is encouraged by his parents as he performs all over the world appearing on TV and radio shows．

B [句意理解题。根据第一段中的“So he couldn't．．．people very much．”可知，他看不见东西，不能像其他孩子那样学习，也不怎么与人交流。再结合下文叙述的他成了一名专业钢琴家可知，画线句说明他似乎没有成功的可能性。]
5．A person with savant syndrome is ．
A．mentally disabled but specially gifted
B．socially inactive but musically talented
C．physically disabled but highly intelligent
D．psychologically challenged but physically gifted
A [细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，患有学者综合征的人智力有缺陷，但具有高度发达的某种特殊才能。]
6．What distinguishes Tod from most musical savants
A．His memory． B．His creativity．
C．His sociability． D．His learning speed．
B [细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句可知，大多数音乐专家都局限于简单地重复他们听到的曲调，而Tod能够想出自己的曲调，这是他在记忆之外迈出的一大步。据此可知，创造力使他有别于大多数音乐专家。]

A．Tod is a typical case of a serious disease．
B．Family support is vital to Tod's recovery．
C．Music connects Tod to the world around him．

German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash to make sculptures．“We are living in a time of garbage，”says Schult．“I created a thousand sculptures of garbage．They are a mirror of ourselves．”Here，Schult was talking about his 1，000 trash sculptures in the form of humans．
“They are social sculptures，”he explained．“They are not only sculptures for the eyes．They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage．”So far，Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris，in Moscow's Red Square，on the Great Wall of China，and in the desert next to the Great Pyramid of Giza near Cairo．
HA Schult's work is unforgettable．Although his work has had a big influence on the art world，Schult remains modest about his creation，“Artists have to learn every time．We are not important．All that counts is the time in which we are living．”
Trash art has been around for years．But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash．Why can't ordinary people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art？Maybe it's because we all have our own presumption of what art is and isn't，or whom artists are or should be．
You can be an artist like Schult if you try．Look at used metal cans．What might be done with them？Imagine them in any number of new uses，or imagine them simply as an art form．What about boxes or clothing？Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets．And clothing？Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or bags．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章通过列举用垃圾创作雕塑作品来反映环保问题的艺术家的例子，号召每个普通人要关注环保问题，创作环保作品，尝试成为环保艺术家。
8．What do we know about Schult's sculptures
A．They served as garbage containers．
B．They reflected environmental issues．
C．They were first shown in Paris．
D．They were to raise economic awareness．
B [细节理解题。根据第一段中“‘We are living in a time of garbage，’says Schult．‘I created a thousand sculptures of garbage．They are a mirror of ourselves．’”可知，Schult的雕塑反映了环境问题。故选B项。]
9．What can be learnt by HA Schult's example
A．An artist must be socially responsible．
B．An artist must be as modest as possible．
C．An artist must make garbage recyclable．
D．An artist must take diverse artistic forms．
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘They are social sculptures，’he explained．‘They are not only sculptures for the eyes．They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage．’”可知，真正的艺术家要有社会责任感，通过艺术来反映社会问题。故选A项。]
10．According to the last two paragraphs，what does the author probably agree about
A．It takes talent to be a trash artist．
B．Presumptions are important to artists．
C．Trash art can't be seen as a real art form．
D．Average people can also make trash artists．
D [推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Maybe it's because we all have our own presumption of what art is and isn't，or whom artists are or should be．”以及最后一段中“You can be an artist like Schult if you try．”可知，普通人也可以成为艺术家。故选D项。]
11．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．Could You Be a Trash Artist
B．What Are Social Sculptures
C．Do You Know About Trash Art
D．How Can We Deal with Used Cans
A [标题归纳题。根据倒数第二段并结合全文可知，文章通过列举用垃圾制作雕塑来反映环保问题的艺术家Schult的例子，号召每个普通人要注重环保，创作环保作品，尝试成为环保艺术家。A项“你能成为垃圾艺术家吗？”既概括了文章内容又能吸引读者，适合作为文章标题。故选A项。]
D
You have everything you think you need for your dream job，but could something else be holding you back？You possess hard skills for the job，but you may lack soft skills．
Hard skills are things that are measurable and technical．A master's degree in business is a hard skill．The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill．Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills，such as years of work experience or proficiency(精通)in particular computer programs．
On the other hand，soft skills are harder to define．And they can't be defined．And they can't be measured．Soft skills cover a wide range of characteristics that you can work on for a lifetime but some of the most common—and most necessary for success—include being a good listener and speaker，a wise leader，a problem solver，a strong communicator or a team player．It's also helpful if you can accept feedback，settle conflicts with others，deal with difficult people or be flexible．These soft skills are what many employers desire．
Soft skills benefit you in many ways．Being a good listener，for example，is very helpful if you're a doctor．Being flexible，a team player and a problem solver help you succeed when dealing with deadlines．
Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to succeed．Being able to show you possess them could make a difference in landing a job you'll love，or being more successful in the job you already have．They make the difference between someone who is just OK at their job and someone who is outstanding．In general，soft skills make you more likable and more competent．
Soft skills are what can set people apart from each other on resumes or in job interviews, but soft skills don't come naturally．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了软技能对于事业成功的重要性。
12．What's the best title for the passage
A．Hard Skills Differ from Soft Skills
B．Soft Skills Can Be Learnt at School
C．Soft Skills Needed in the Workplace
D．Soft Skills Matter to Your Success at Work
D [标题归纳题。根据第一段中“You possess hard skills for the job，but you may lack soft skills．”(你拥有工作所需的硬技能，但你可能缺乏软技能。)，第三段中“These soft skills are what many employers desire．”(这些软技能是许多雇主所渴望的。)，第四段中“Soft skills benefit you in many ways．”(软技能在很多方面对你都有好处。)和第五段中“Soft skills are something extra that help a particular person to succeed．”(软技能是帮助一个特定的人成功的额外技能。)可知，本文主要介绍了软技能在职场成功中发挥重要的作用，故选D项。 ]
13．Which of the following belongs to hard skills
A．Having a good command of English．
B．Communicating with others efficiently．
C．Being good at expressing oneself．
D．Being able to solve problems．
A [推理判断题。根据第二段中“The ability to speak Spanish is a hard skill．”(讲西班牙语是一项硬技能。)可推知，精通英语也属于硬技能。故选A。根据第三段中“Soft skills．．．include being a good listener and speaker，a wise leader，a problem solver，a strong communicator or a team player．”可知，B项“有效地与他人沟通。”、C项“善于表达自己。”和D项“能够解决问题。”都属于软技能。]
14．Which of the following is TRUE about soft skills
A．They are measurable and technical．
B．They are taught in many universities．
C．They are desired by many employers．
D．They are specific job qualifications．
C [细节理解题。根据第三段中“These soft skills are what many employers desire．”(这些软技能是许多雇主所渴望的。)可知，C项描述正确。根据第三段中“On the other hand，soft skills are harder to define．And they can't be defined．And they can't be measured．”(另一方面，软技能更难定义。它们无法被定义。它们是无法衡量的。)可知，A项错误；B项“许多大学都教授软技能。”文中未提及；根据第二段中“Many specific qualifications for a job are hard skills”(许多特定的工作资格都是硬技能)可知，D项错误。]
15．What will be probably talked about following the last paragraph
A．Why soft skills are important．
B．How soft skills are developed．
C．Where soft skills are applied．
D．What the key soft skills are．
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，软技能并不是天生的，是需要培养的。由此可推断出，接下来作者可能会讲到如何培养软技能，故选B项。 ]

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
To many of us, art is obviously a kind of human expression of creativity．But in recent years，you may have read news about artificial intelligence (AI) creating its own art，such as painting or writing poems．Some people worry that AI might replace artists someday．
16 Many artists today are turning AI into a useful tool．Instead of replacing artists, AI is bringing artists more possibilities．
A piece of music created by AI recently attracted attention．AI was used to turn the novel virus into a piece of nearly two-hour long music based on its protein structure．The project was led by Markus Buehler，an American musician and MIT professor of engineering．He assigned a unique note to each amino acid (氨基酸) in the protein． 17
Listeners found the project to be “mind-blowing”．“It allows me to see the virus from a new angle，”said one listener． 18 As the Verge wrote，“AI helps artists play around in unpredictable ways，creating things beyond what they have ever thought was possible before．”
19 For example，in the comic and animation industries, there are now AI tools that can automatically color in black-and-white line drawings．“Although the results can be unpredictable and require a little clean-up，it could give artists room to experiment，by cutting down the time it takes to color each frame”，said Joao Do Lago，animator of Netflix's Castlevania．
As Peter Ward wrote for The Culture Trip，art of every kind has always been influenced by technological breakthroughs． 20
A．The AI then translated these notes into music．
B．AI has become an important part of our everyday life．
C．But this worry seems to be unnecessary，at least for now．
D．AI can become a useful tool to bring change to the art world．
E．Besides the music industry，AI has entered the world of poetry as well．
F．This surprising marriage between science and art could not be achieved without AI．
G．Apart from co-creating imaginative works，AI can also help artists avoid repeating tasks．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了人工智能不会取代艺术家，反而会对艺术创作产生积极作用。
16．C [由本段结构可知，空格所在处应起到承上启下的作用或作为本段的主题句。由上文的“Some people worry that AI might replace artists someday．”可知，有些人担心人工智能有一天会取代艺术家。选项C“但这种担心似乎没有必要，至少目前是这样。”承接上一段，且引出后文“如今许多艺术家正在把人工智能变成一种有用的工具”。]
17．A [上文提到，Markus Buehler给蛋白质中的每个氨基酸分配了一个独特的音符，人工智能被用来将这种新型病毒变成了一段将近两小时长的音乐。由此可知，人工智能将音符变成了音乐。选项A“人工智能随后将这些音符变为音乐。”切题。]
18．F [选项F中提到的“没有人工智能，科学和艺术之间的这种令人惊讶的结合是不可能实现的。”指的是后文所说的“人工智能帮助艺术家以不可预知的方式进行创作，创造出超出他们以前想象的东西”。]
19．G [由本段结构可知，空格处应是本段的主题句。空格后内容提到，在漫画和动画行业，现在有了人工智能工具，可以在黑白线条图中自动着色。选项G“除了共同创作富有想象力的作品，人工智能还可以帮助艺术家避免重复任务。”中的repeating tasks指的就是下文的“to color each frame”。]
20．D [由上文和空格前一句“正如彼得·沃德在《文化之旅》中所写，每一种艺术总是受到技术突破的影响。”可知，人工智能给艺术带来了积极影响，所以人工智能是有用的工具。承接上文，选项D“人工智能可以成为给艺术世界带来变革的有用工具”切题。]

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是比利时艺术家René Magritte的系列画作The Empire of Light。
36．of [考查固定短语。句意：The Empire of Light是比利时艺术家René Magritte的系列画作。a series of是固定短语，意为“一系列的”，故填of。]
37．shows [考查时态和主谓一致。句意：它展示了一个被25盏灯从里面照亮的美丽的房子，周围是黑暗的夜晚。句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语It是第三人称单数，空格处用动词第三人称单数，故填shows。]
38．What [考查主语从句。句意：奇怪的是，在房子和树的上方，我们看到白天的天空充满了明亮和柔软的白云。“ is strange”是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指“……的事物”，空格处用what引导主语从句，位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。]
39．a [考查冠词。句意：这似乎是一个非常神秘的场景。scene是可数名词，表泛指，前面需加不定冠词，mysterious的发音是辅音音素开头，因此不定冠词用a，故填a。]
40．painter [考查名词。句意：Magritte是一位受到他的思想和想法启发的画家。由第一段的“Belgian artist René Magritte”可知，Magritte是一位画家，空前有a，空格处用单数，故填painter。]
41．were [考查时态和主谓一致。句意：他的绘画是视觉实验，因为他试图玩弄现实(在现实上做文章)。由“as he tried”可知，句子时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式，主语paintings是复数，因此空格处是were。故填were。]
42．their [考查代词。句意：他的观点是，艺术应该震撼30名观众，挑战他们的真实感。根据语境可知，空格处意为“他们的”，用形容词性物主代词their修饰“sense of reality”，故填their。]
43．reactions [考查名词复数。句意：The Empire of Light在观众中引起了不同的反应。different后跟名词的复数reactions，故填reactions。]
44．however [考查副词。句意：然而，其他人则觉得它们能让人平静下来。由前面的“Some feel that the paintings look dark and troubling”和后面的“find them calming”可知，前后是转折关系，空格处用表示转折的however，故填however。]
45．surprising [考查形容词。句意：至于Magritte本人，他认为画中白天和黑夜的变化是令人惊讶的。was后跟形容词作表语，主语change是物，用形容词surprising修饰，意为“令人惊讶的”，故填surprising。]

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。
There was a girl named Emily．Although her singing was pleasant to hear, lacking of courage, she never sang in front of strangers．
One summer, the neighborhood would hold a singing competition．Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I'm afraid to take part in it．” Her mother said, “It's okay; just do it bravely．” Emily followed her mom's advice and decided to have a try．The day came．Emily and Lucy went to the competition site．But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage．She had been waiting until others finished singing．She shakily forced herself to stand on the stage．She started to sing, but her voice was so low．What's worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words．Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage．
Some boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward！” Emily didn't argue with them．What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could．Finally, she rushed into the house, hugged her mom and cried sadly．
“Well, my poor girl, don't cry．Tell me what happened to you，” asked her mom．Emily told her mother what she had experienced．
Listening to her, her mom cupped her face and said, “It doesn't matter, girl．As long as you practice singing more in front of strangers, you will become braver little by little．So, my girl, don't be beaten by a failure．You can go out to practice singing every day．No matter who is listening to you, go on singing and never stop．I believe there will be a harvest for you．”
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom's suggestion．
Going on singing, she walked into the park．
[参考范文]
Emily listened to her mother carefully and followed her mom's suggestion．The next day, she began to practice singing outside．Gradually, her courage became greater and greater, and the sound of her singing was also louder and louder．Months later, she could sing as she was walking．A naughty boy who had laughed at her before cried to her, “Emily, coward! Emily, coward！” Emily felt depressed．However, she chose to ignore his behavior．
Going on singing, she walked into the park．Many people were singing and dancing there．Hearing her beautiful voice, some stopped to listen to her singing and clapped for her．A grandma smiled to her and said, “Oh, little girl, your voice is really beautiful！” Encouraged by the words, Emily felt pleased and could sing confidently in front of strangers．In the second year singing competition, Emily walked onto the stage bravely, and her loud and beautiful voice of singing moved all the people, including those who had laughed at her．Her mother was delighted to see the timid girl became a brave one．

[片段1]
Dad must have forgotten his birthday gift．Just then a voice came, “Astronaut Tom, are you ready to take off？” Curiously, Tom turned around and saw Dad riding on a spaceship．The spaceship was made out of big box and it had wings and big room to ride on．It was not what he wanted, but it was better．
爸爸一定是忘记了他的生日礼物。就在这时，一个声音传来： “宇航员汤姆，你准备好起飞了吗？”汤姆好奇地转过身来，看见爸爸坐在一艘宇宙飞船上。宇宙飞船是由一个大盒子做成的，它有翅膀和很大的空间。这不是他想要的，但却是更好的。
[片段2]
Minutes later, he came out, carrying the baby in his arms．Tom thought that there might be other people inside the burning house．He went back and searched from door to door．In one room, he saw an old lady lying unconscious on the floor．Tom immediately carried her on his back and hurried out．
几分钟后，他出来了，怀里抱着孩子。汤姆想可能还有其他人在燃烧着的房子里。他回去挨家挨户搜查。在一个房间里，他看到一位老妇人不省人事地躺在地板上。汤姆立刻把她背在背上，匆匆走了出去。
