Late last year, I needed to transport some furniture from our house to my son's flat in central London. I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.
Moving the lorry backward in my yard, I crashed into a small shed, causing permanent damage. Fortunately I owned the shed. I loaded up with the furniture and set out. By now it was rush hour. My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.
At last I arrived at Charlotte Street and found an available parking space. I moved the lorry into it only to notice three people at a pavement cafe waving to me. I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing. “You've hit the car parked behind you，” they said. I examined the car. There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man. Under the severe look of the three, I left an apologetic note on the damaged car's windscreen, giving my phone number.
I unloaded the furniture, dripping the sweat, wanting only to escape from the monster. I drove it back to its base at Edgware. On arrival, the boss told me I must fill it up with petrol before returning it. “Just charge me，” I cried, still shaking with fear. He stared at me with understanding. No doubt he'd witnessed others in this state before. “How about I drive you to a petrol station, you fill up, and I drive it back？” he asked.
He danced the great lorry through the traffic so carefully that it would have shamed me if I had not been so grateful.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章描述了“我”因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具，结果导致一系列问题的故事。
4．The man felt ________ to have delivered the furniture himself.
A．grateful B．proud
C．confident D．regretful
答案：D　推理判断题。根据关键信息第一段第二句“I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.”可知，“我”本应付费让别人装运家具的，但是出于对自己驾车能力的愚蠢的自信，“我”决定租一辆卡车自己装运；结合下文描述的“我”停车时撞上别人的车以及不得已让出租卡车的老板送自己去加油站为卡车加油以便符合卡车归还要求可知，“我”对决定自己装运家具的事感到后悔。D项意为“后悔的”，符合语境，故D项正确。
5．The man trembled violently because ________.
A．the lorry was too difficult to drive
B．he caused a terrible traffic accident
C．he was afraid to see the three people
D．the furniture was too heavy for him
答案：A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I got out, trembling violently, like one who had just finished a stormy Atlantic crossing.”可知，“我”下了车，紧张得浑身剧烈地颤抖，就像横渡了波涛汹涌的大西洋；再结合第二段最后一句“My nerves broke down, as I drove the huge lorry through the streets nervously.”可知，由于卡车难以驾驶，“我”战战兢兢驾车驶过大街，故A项正确。
6．The man said he was a bad man most probably because ________.
A．he shouldn't have driven the lorry himself
B．he made the traffic accident on purpose
C．he shouldn't have caused trouble for the disabled
D．he parked the big lorry on the pavement
答案：C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“There were white scratches on its front face. It bore a disabled sign. So, now I was a bad driver and a bad man.”可知，由于刮坏了带有残疾人标志的车，这可能会给其造成不便，因此“我”觉得自己是一个坏人，故C项正确。
7．The writer intended to suggest that ________.
A．it was thrilling to drive a lorry
B．being too confident is foolish
C．it was hard to avoid accidents
D．the boss was expert in driving
答案：B　推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文的主题句是第一段第二句“I should have paid a man to do it, but foolishly confident in my driving ability, I decided to hire a lorry and drive it myself.”；结合全文描述可知，“我”因为对自己的驾驶技术有信心而租用卡车自己装运家具，结果却导致一系列问题，所以本文旨在说明“过分自信是愚蠢的”，故B项正确。
C
People who have red hair and people who have lost their hair could finally get their own emoji (表情符号). The Emojipedia website has shown new emojis following demands that they should be more diverse. If its ideas are approved, the new emojis could be added in 2018, alongside new characters that have grey, curly or Afro hair.
“New styles focus on appearances that aren't currently supported in the informal skin tone and hair color pairings (搭配) used on many cellphones，” showed one page on the website. The page gave Jessica Chastain and Ed Sheeran as examples of people with red hair. Sinead O'Connor and Samuel I. Jackson were given as examples of people with no hair or a shaven head.
The emojis could be released in 2018 if chosen by the Unicode Consortium which met in January, 2017 following a number of complaints about lack of diversity. “Non－naturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project，” the website added.
At the end of 2016, Apple published its iOS 10.2 software update which included 72 new emojis such as firefighters, astronauts, rockstars and so on. But people who have red hair were notably absent, causing a global protest.
A website in Scotland demanding ginger emojis got 20,000 signatures. The main issue is that there is one organization, known as Unicode Consortium, who controls emojis on iPhone.
In March, a new list of emojis was published by Emojipedia which might be released later this year. However, the emojis need to be approved by the Unicode Technical Committee before people can use them.
In 2015, ginger emojis were published on the Google Play Store for Android. But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了表情库里将有可能增加红发人士和光头人士等专属的表情符号。
8．Which of the following emojis could be included in 2018?
A．Characters with black hair.
B．Characters with white skin.
C．Characters with shaven heads.
D．Characters with smiling faces.
答案：C　细节理解题。根据前两段可知，红发人士和光头人士有可能会获得他们的专属表情符号，因为人们抱怨表情库中的表情符号不够丰富。如果这些表情符号获得批准，在2018年就可以增加到表情库里，此外，表情库里还会有拥有灰白发、卷发以及非洲式发型等新的表情符号。所以C项正确。
9．Tattoos are rejected by the Unicode Consortium because ________.
A．there is no demand for them
B．people dislike such emojis
C．they are out of fashion
D．they are not natural identity
答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Non－naturally occurring features, such as blue hair and tattoos, are not included in this project”可知，诸如蓝头发和纹身之类不是天然产生的特征是不被包括在这个项目中的。因此D项正确。
10．What is the Unicode Consortium's attitude to ginger emojis?
A．Favorable. B．Ambiguous.
C．Disapproving. D．Uncaring.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“But up until now, the Unicode Consortium has not been willing to give in to ginger campaigners.”可知，直到现在，统一码协会仍然不愿让姜黄发色表情符号的倡导者们使用这个表情符号，故统一码协会的态度是“不赞成的(Disapproving)”。故选C项。favorable意为“赞成的”，ambiguous意为“模棱两可的”，uncaring意为“冷漠的，无同情心的”，都不符合题意。
11．What is the best title for the text?
A．New Emojis to Be Added in 2018
B．Complaints about the Present Emojis
C．Demands for New and Informal Emojis
D．Global Protests Against Lack of Diversity
答案：A　标题判断题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了表情库里将有可能增加红发人士和光头人士等专属的表情符号，并讲述了增加这些表情符号的原因；同时结合文章第一段首句和最后一句(主题句)，可判断A项最适合作标题。

She was holding my bag to __13__ me.
At the next stop, a middle－aged woman got on the crowded subway. Another elderly woman sitting down took her bag, __14__ it on her lap. They didn't talk; __15__ this older woman was more than pleased to sit with this stranger's bag on her lap throughout her journey.
As the subway pulled into the main downtown station and I was getting ready to get off, the woman __16__ handed me back my bag. But __17__ I had a chance to thank her, she had disappeared into the crowd.
Sadly, this considerate custom was more __18__ to me than if I had been robbed. Everyone back home had heard of being robbed—that was __19__ city behavior—but having a stranger hold onto someone's bag out of __20__， in a city of twelve million people—that was truly unusual.

(2019·湖南三十四校联考)Here is a record of the discussion about AI (artificial intelligence) conducted by several scientists：
Scientist A: I would say that we are quite a long way off developing the AI, though I do think it will happen within the next thirty or forty years. We will probably remain in control of technology and it will help us solve many of the world's problems. However, no one really knows what will happen if machines become more intelligent than humans. They may help us, ignore us or destroy us. I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives, but whether that is true will be partly up to us.
Scientist B: I have to admit that the potential consequences of creating something that can match or go beyond human intelligence frighten me. Even now, scientists are teaching computers how to learn on their own. At some point in the near future, their intelligence may well take off and develop at an ever－increasing speed. Human beings evolve biologically very slowly and we would be quickly substituted. In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large－scale poverty and social unrest. In the long term, machines might decide the world would be better without humans.
Scientist C: I'm a member of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots. Forget the movie image of a terrifying Terminator stamping on human skulls (头骨) and think of what's happening right now: military machines like drones, gun turrets and sentry robots are already being used to kill with very little human input. The next step will be autonomous “murderbots” following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own. It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了三位科学家关于人工智能的讨论记录。
1．What is Scientist B worried about?
A．AI technology will destroy the earth.
B．Computers can't think by themselves.
C．Robots will take the place of humans.
D．Humans will be unhappy without machines.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large－scale poverty and social unrest.”可知，科学家B担心机器人会代替人类，造成人类失业、贫穷和社会动荡。故选C。
2．What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A．The Campaign to Stop Killer Robots.
B．The movie image of a terrifying Terminator.
C．“Murderbots” can't decide by themselves.
D．“Murderbots” will be against humans' orders.
答案：D　指代判断题。根据画线词前一句“The next step will be autonomous ‘murderbots’ following orders but finally deciding who to kill on their own.”可知，自动“杀人机器人”服从人类的命令，但最后杀死谁由他们自己决定。句中this指“杀人机器人不服从人类的命令”。故选D。
3．What can we learn from the text?
A．Scientist A thinks AI technology will never develop.
B．The employment will be affected by AI technology in the future.
C．“Murderbots” will follow the orders of their manufacturers in the wars.
D．All the three scientists agree that AI technology will benefit human beings.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In the short term, there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people.”可知，机器人会代替人类工作，造成人类失业。也就是说，未来人工智能技术将会影响就业。故选B。
4．Who agree(s) AI has more negative aspects than positive aspects?
A．Scientist A. B．Scientist B.
C．Scientists B & C. D．Scientists A & B.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I tend to believe AI will have a positive influence on our future lives”可知，科学家A认为人工智能的积极因素比消极因素多。根据第三段中的“ ... there is the danger that robots will take over millions of human jobs, creating a large underclass of unemployed people. This could mean large－scale poverty and social unrest”和第四段中的“It seems clear to me that this would be completely unethical and dangerous for humans. We need to be very cautious indeed about what we ask machines to do.”可知，科学家B和科学家C认为人工智能的消极因素比积极因素多。故选C。

Money is the root of all evil (邪恶) and a new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying. Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, the US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS《美国国家科学院院刊》)．
They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive cars ignored a pedestrian compared with only 30 percent of people driving modest cars.
In another experiment, a group of college students were asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher－class families were more likely to act dishonestly.
According to the scientists, rich people often think money can get them out of trouble. This makes them less afraid to take risks, it also means they care less about other people's feelings.
Finally, it just makes them greedier. “Higher wealth status seems to make you want even more, and that increased want leads you to bend the rules or break the rules to serve your self－interest，” said Paul Piff, lead scientist of the study.
Piff pointed out that the findings don't mean that all rich people are untrustworthy or all poor people honest. He said the experiments were to show how people living in different social situations express their instincts (本能) and values in different ways.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。金钱是万恶之源吗？科学家通过实验证明：富有的人比穷人更加有可能做不道德的事。
5．By saying “Money is the root of all evil (邪恶)”， the author wants to ________.
A．link wealth with bad behavior
B．draw readers' attention to the research
C．show how the saying proves the findings
D．defend rich people who do immoral things
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“a new study claims there may be some truth behind the saying ... that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people”可知，用这个俗语“金钱是万恶之源”来引出本文的话题——富人们比穷人们更加有可能做不道德的事情，目的是吸引读者对这个研究的注意，故答案为B。

7．What does the passage really want to show us?
A．The poor are respectable.
B．Money is the root of all evil.
C．All rich people are untrustworthy.
D．The rich are more likely to act badly.
答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章第一段科学家发表的研究结论可知，富人们更加有可能做不道德的事。故D项是正确的。
C
Driving on up to Yosemite with my family was exciting but nerve－racking (神经紧张的). I had never been to such an amazing national park before, yet I wasn't the most athletic person so I knew that I couldn't stick through all the hiking up and down. It actually ended up being a fun and adventurous experience.
The ride there was definitely long but worth it. As I woke up from my nap, I saw the beautiful scenery of the tall mountains and beautiful streams. The trails were made nicely for visitors. The waterfalls were breathtaking. Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun. The fact that my family and I spent so much time together all trying to find out which route to take and what views to watch really brought us closer together.
The great thing about nature is that, it's just you, the views, and the people around you. There's nothing there to bother you and it's the best way to relax and enjoy yourself. Yosemite has 5 of the world's highest waterfalls, and about 300 lakes. The structure of each mountain is incredible; it's formed in ways that almost take your breath away. Some of them are of a deep dark color with waterfalls forming; some are formed with spots of green peeking (窥探) out. It's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.
Yosemite isn't the only great National Park but based on my experience I highly recommend going out and enjoying nature with family and friends. It's a great time to bond, laugh, and take in what Mother Nature offers.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者与家人在Yosemite国家公园的一次有趣而又充满冒险的游玩经历。通过这一次游玩，他们不但充分享受了大自然的美景，也与家人感受了天伦之乐。
8．The author writes the first paragraph mainly to ________.
A．introduce the topic of this passage
B．offer an example to us
C．tell us his future plan for hiking
D．describe a national park
答案：A　推理判断题。文章第一段采用先抑后扬的写作手法，突出说明这次Yosemite国家公园游玩活动既有趣又充满冒险，为下文的描写埋下伏笔，故首段是为了引出文章话题，故选A。
9．While climbing up rocks, the author was ________.
A．nerve－racking B．injured
C．pleased D．worried
答案：C　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第五、六句“Climbing up rocks was one of my favorite parts. Even though I fell a couple of times, I still had a lot of fun.”可知，作者在攀爬岩石的时候是开心的。
10．According to the passage, Yosemite ________.
A．is crowded with visitors every day
B．is the only great National Park
C．is worth travelling to
D．is nothing but a common destination
答案：C　推理判断题。根据文章最后一段可知，作者认为Yosemite是一个值得带着家人和朋友去享受自然的好地方。
11．The author suggests us ________.
A．keeping a good bond with other people
B．visiting Yosemite now and then

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
The summer before my dad died, we moved house. Up until that point, our family had our own space to spread out. Money was tight, so there was no television set, but we owned a turntable on which my dad's records played constantly. Mostly, it played Bob Dylan. Tracks from The Basement Tapes and Desire became an important part of our new life. My brother and I, aged 8 and 10, climbed trees, built hideaways and learned the words of Clothes Line Saga. We would chant over the lost in our own joy.
It was January when my dad left us forever because of the cancer. He was 36 going on 37 then, the same age as Dylan. Afterwards, our laughter disappeared, but we kept on playing the records, which became our only ritual of remembrance. The two men became so intertwined in my head, and I struggled to tell them apart.
Dylan was my dad's gift to me. What child wouldn't be fascinated by songs full of pirates and seasick sailors? How did it feel to have no direction home? Farewell, Angelina became my party piece. I would sing this at church cheese and wines to the assembled audience. A lot of donations were made.
Growing up, I remained a fan of the music, but I wasn't obsessed with Dylan until one day in early 1995, my brother bought us both tickets to see him play at Brixton Academy. London felt like a long way to go. But finally seeing Dylan step out onto the stage brought a sudden rush of excitement.
I have seen Dylan a couple of times since. My brother is not around so much these days. But he was up for a visit recently. We passed a happy evening laughing and drinking, while his son, aged nine, performed his party piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us. He sang it word－perfect. And so it goes on: Dylan's music as a gift, passed down the generations.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了对Bob Dylan的喜欢和热爱，及Bob Dylan对自己家三代人的影响。
1．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?
A．To praise his late father.
B．To tell about his family history.
C．To express his longing for family reunion.
D．To show his love for Bob Dylan.
答案：D　推理判断题。通读全文并综合几个主题句“Dylan was my dad's gift to me.”和“Dylan's music as a gift, passed down the generations.”等信息可知，作者的写作目的是讲述从小到大一直以来对Bob Dylan的喜欢和热爱，故选D。
2．The underlined word “ritual” in the second paragraph means “________”．
A．passion B．ceremony
C．memory D．belief
答案：B　词义猜测题。此处指父亲去世后我们的笑声消失了，但我们继续播放Bob Dylan的唱片，这成了我们对父亲唯一的记念仪式。ritual指“仪式”，与ceremony同义，故选B。
3．How did the author raise money in his childhood?
A．By singing a Dylan's song at church gatherings.
B．By providing cheese and wines to church prayers.
C．By playing a private in church performances.
D．By accepting donations from the church.

答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But he was up for a visit recently ... while his son, ... piece Subterranean Homesick Blues for us.”和“Dylan's music as a gift, passed down the generations.”可知，弟弟带着儿子来访及他儿子演唱Dylan的歌显示了Bob Dylan对作者一家三代人的影响。故选C。
B
As missing children age, they outgrow their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough. Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.
Police can use software to age photos of people who have been missing for a while, but these tend to work best in adults, as age－related changes of adult faces are more predictable and so easier to make.
With children, these aged images (图像) don't tend to resemble the older children, and matching photos of found children to old images in a database of missing children is difficult. “Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images，” says Debayan Deb at Michigan State University.
Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm (算法) to do this for them. They created a face－recognition algorithm on data sets, which contain images of nearly 1,000 children between 2 and 18 years old. Each was photographed at least four times over a period of six years.
AI learned to match recent photographs of children with images taken 2.5 years earlier 80 percent of the time.
With one year between the two photographs, the method was 90 percent accurate at recognizing faces. This dropped to 73 percent after three years. The approach beats comparing children with photos taken when they were aged 0 to 4 that have been aged by software, which stays at 50 percent recognition after six months. The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.
Deb's next goal is to make the age gap wider. His team also hopes to develop an app that could be used to fight child trafficking.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过人工智能手段来确认丢失孩子的身份。
5．What is suggested in Para.1?
A．The old photos are hard to read.
B．Found children change greatly.
C．Children's faces are unpredictable.
D．Photos of children are easy to match.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第一段第一句“As missing children age, they outgrow their last known photographs, which makes finding them tough.”可知，随着丢失孩子年龄的增长，他们的长相和所知道的他们最后的照片上的样子非常不同，这使找到他们很难，故答案为B项(被找到的孩子变化很大)。
6．Why do Deb's team do the research?
A．To prove the advantages of AI fun_ction.
B．To help the police change their software.
C．To build a data base to find the missing children.
D．To improve the accuracy of children's face－recognition.
答案：D　推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的“Given a recent face image of a child, it is extremely hard for a human to recognize, visually, who the child is from a large data set of child face images”，第四段中的“Now Deb and his colleagues have created an algorithm (算法) to do this for them.”和第六段中的“The new AI might help to improve accuracy of this kind of software as well.”可知，Deb团队做研究的目的是提高脸部图像匹配的准确性，故答案为D项。
7．What does the underlined word “trafficking” in the last paragraph mean?
A．Image matching. B．Comparing.
C．Recognizing. D．Illegal trade.
答案：D　词义猜测题。纵观文章内容可知，本文介绍了目前警方通过软件确认丢失孩子的身份有难度，Deb和他的团队创造了一个算法可以比较准确地确认一个丢失孩子的身份；根据文中出现的“missing children”和“found children”可推知，画线词在此处指的是“非法拐卖(儿童)”，故答案为D项。
8．What is the main idea of the text?
A．AI could match missing kids to old photos.
B．Age－related changes of faces are predictable.
C．A face－recognition algorithm has been created.
D．A new software is improved to find missing kids.
答案：A　主旨大意题。本篇文章的中心句为“Now AI (Artificial Intelligence) could make it quicker to match any found children to those old photos.”，故答案选A项，人工智能能够把丢失的孩子和旧照片匹配起来。
C
A new library in Tianjin—Tianjin Binhai Public Library—recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the “world's ultimate (终极的) library”， while the word “breathtaking” was the choice of Newsweek magazine. One look at the library and you'll see why. With its futuristic (未来派的) design and walls loaded with books, it's the dream library of every book lover.
But as the surprise continues, there's a burning question lying in the back of our minds: When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries safe from the wave of digitalization (数字化)? And do we really still need libraries now that we've got the Internet in our hands?
Reporter Ian Clark has the answer. “Libraries are not declining in importance—people are simply changing the way they use them，” he wrote on The Guardian website.
What Clark means is that libraries have shifted from simply being storehouses of books to a medium to help “bridge the gap between the haves and the have－nots”， according to website Libraries Are Essential. Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know－how to search the Internet correctly and efficiently, it's public libraries that make sure that these resources and technologies are available to a larger group of people.
“Nobody is trying to sell you anything in the library. There is no pressure to buy and there is no judgment of your choices，” Anne Goulding, a professor at Victoria University of Wellington in New Zealand, wrote on the Newsroom website. “There are few other spaces that you can just ‘be’ in without somebody questioning your presence or your motivation.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要说明了在数字化时代，实体图书馆存在的原因。
9．What cause(s) book lovers to like Tianjin Binhai Public Library?
A．Breathtaking magazines.
B．World's ultimate buildings.
C．Design and book walls.
D．Digitalization.
答案：C　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“One look at the library and you'll see why. With its futuristic (未来派的) design and walls loaded with books, it's the dream library of every book lover.”可知，让图书爱好者喜欢上天津滨海公共图书馆的是它的设计和书墙。
10．Where does the text most probably come from?
A．A fiction. B．A tour guide.
C．A newspaper. D．A book.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A new library in Tianjin—Tianjin Binhai Public Library—recently became an online hit. The Daily Mail described it as the ‘world's ultimate (终极的) library’”并结合全文所提其余报刊杂志及一些相关人士的观点陈述可知，这篇文章可能出自报纸。
11．Why are physical libraries necessary to exist?
A．Everyone has a phone with them.
B．Some people are still used to the old ways.
C．More and more people use computers.
D．People can buy what they want there.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Since not everyone can afford a smartphone, a tablet or an Internet connection, and not everyone has the know－how ... are available to a larger group of people.”可知，由于并不是每个人都能通过网络获取知识，所以一些人依然在使用老方法，即去图书馆获取知识。
12．What does the text mainly talk about?
A．Libraries living on in the digital age.
B．Internet libraries nowadays.
C．Physical libraries in the past.
D．People's dream libraries.
答案：A　主旨大意题。第二段中的“When physical bookstores are closing down one by one, what makes libraries ... now that we've got the Internet in our hands？”提出问题，接下来几段对该问题进行了回答，故这篇文章的主旨是说明在数字化时代，图书馆为什么仍将继续存在。

Japan's new luxury cruise train, the Shiki－shima, made the first appearance on May 1, 2017. Designed by the famous designer Ken Kiyoyuki Okuyama, the Shiki－shima train offers passengers a cruise ship－like experience on rails.
Information about the Rooms and Cars
Observation cars are located at the front and back of the 10－car train. Shiki－shima offers a total of 17 suite rooms. The train has 15 rooms in five regular sleeper cars, and two rooms in a luxury sleeper. All rooms come with their own private dining area and twin beds. Besides a dining car and a lounge car, the two observation cars at both ends are a highlight of the train, with large windows along the walls and roof and sofas that run the length of the car for passengers to relax and take in the mountain or coastal scenery.
The Design and Special Experience
While the Seven Stars Cruise Train has a classic Orient Express look, the room interiors (内部) of Shiki－shima have a modern Japanese design, using traditional wood materials and Japanese wash paper. The lounge car features sofas made with traditional bentwood—a technique of bending wood with steam—and hand－crafted carpets.
Unsurprisingly, the dining experience is special. French－trained chef Katsuhiro Nakamura, the first Japanese chef to receive a Michelin star, cooks with ingredients (食材) collected from stops along the train's route.
The Trips
The train can accommodate no more than 34 passengers per trip. The cost of a trip on Shiki－shima starts at ￥320,000 per person when sharing a regular room, and goes up to ￥950,000 per person when sharing the luxury suite. The first trip was experienced by passengers chosen by lottery, while following trips on Shiki－shima are already booked through to March 2018. Luxury train travel seems to be catching on in Japan.
篇章导读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了日本的豪华旅行火车“四季岛号”的特色。
1．What does the Shiki－shima cruise train have according to the basic information?

A．￥320,000. B．￥1,900,000.
C．￥950,000. D．￥640,000.

When I was young, my parents kept the TV in the garage and most of the time I took no notice of it. Since I was four, I had been used to following my school's “no media” policy quite happily until the year when my mother moved the TV into the house and then I could watch videos on TV.
Being introduced to the world of movies through The Lord of the Rings was like suddenly seeing a new color. For months, I was attracted by the story of the hobbits and elves in Middle－earth. Discovering that I loved movies, I quickly realized that I wanted to make them. At 13, I got a MacBook and a video camera. I told everyone who would listen about the movies that I was going to make. Meanwhile, I used my laptop to watch videos at night.
I thought about movies all the time, memorized entire scenes and screenplays, and recited them in whispers to my classmates. I rewrote endings and dialogues, creating perfect movies, and enjoyed these inventions as fully as the ones on the screen.
In the 8th grade, I finished my first movie. I created rhythm with images and never thought twice about why something looked right. I sent my first movie to the film program at New York State Summer School of the Arts and it was accepted. When I arrived there, I was surprised to learn that “film” was not synonymous (近似的) with digital video. So I spent my 15th summer in a dark basement making my own film again.
I re－edited my film. When it was played in our final show that summer, the voice－over (解说) asked “What did you see？” as the image went black. Then a girl appeared, rolling down a hill. “I saw magic，” the voice－over continued as she rolled through bright sunlight, then shadow, and then sunlight.
At the end, the audience murmured, “I know what she means.” That movie was about how I saw the world. It was about the day when I watched The Lord of the Rings, sitting in a closet, seeing what I wanted to see: true magic.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。作者主要讲述了她从小就对电影有浓厚的兴趣，后来又通过自学、实践，逐步积累电影制作经验并从中获得乐趣和成就感的故事。
5．What did the author do to make preparations for making movies?
A．She cooperated with her classmates.
B．She made use of the best equipment.
C．She practiced professional skills.
D．She learned from other movies.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“At 13, I got a MacBook and a video camera ... watch videos at night.”以及第三段的内容可知，作者仔细琢磨所看的电影中的细节，在认真摸索中学习制作电影。故选D项。
6．How did the author feel after she took part in the program mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A．Doubtful. B．Motivated.
C．Peaceful. D．Worried.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“I sent my first movie to the film program at New York State Summer School of the Arts and it was accepted. When I arrived there, I was surprised to learn that ‘film’ was not synonymous (近似的) with digital video. So I spent my 15th summer in a dark basement making my own film again.”可知，当作者把自己创作的电影发送给New York State Summer School of the Arts后，它被接受了，当作者到那后认识到了电影和数字视频的区别，因此作者在黑暗的地下室里再次进行电影创作，据此我们可以推断出，作者从这次参加的课程中受到了激励，故选B项。
7．What do we know about the film from the last two paragraphs?
A．It was too abstract to understand.
B．It was about the author doing magic.
C．It conveyed the author's feelings and dream.
D．The author was explaining its plot as it was on.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“At the end, the audience murmured, ‘I know what she means.’ That movie was about how I saw the world. It was about the day when ... true magic.”可推断出，这部电影传达了作者对这个世界的看法和梦想。
8．What can be the best title for the text?
A．True magic
B．A new world
C．How did TV change my life?
D．How did I make my first film?
答案：A　标题判断题。根据最后一段中的“It was about the day when I watched The Lord of the Rings, sitting in a closet, seeing what I wanted to see: true magic.”可知，The Lord of the Rings这部电影深深地影响着作者，作者由此喜欢上了电影制作，并通过自己的努力，创造出了属于自己的真正的奇迹；另外，文章最后一句中的“true magic”也点明了文章的主旨。故A项“True magic”作标题最佳。

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.
Some sports are resource－hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses (球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.
There are many environment friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.
Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements (代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.

The noise of chattering mouths subsided (平息) as the teacher entered the classroom. “Good morning class. I am Riffat Monaf, and I will be your geography teacher.” Riffat Monaf, an interesting name and an even more interesting person. Her introduction took place about six years ago, and since then I have never met a more influential person in my life.
Mrs Monaf not only conquered me with her vast knowledge of geography, but also won me over with her smile and warm eyes. It was in her class that I traveled to the highest mountains and to the deepest seas from the comfort of the classroom. I learned about the vast oceans, the erupting volcanoes, the snow－capped mountains and the green valleys. She would often relate her adventures about traveling to different parts of the world.
Never can I forget the glory of her face when she talks about how truly beautiful this world is. If I search back my love for the environment and geography, I find her to be the source of my love for preserving nature. If one day I became an environmentalist, I know that I'll thank her for it. Apart from this, she has always greeted me with open arms and she calls her students “my children”. Mrs Monaf's morals and values rubbed_off me deeply and I have always taken her advice into consideration. She has been one of the most consistently good things in my life.
Currently, she is fighting a battle against breast cancer, and it pains me to know that after all she has done for me, I can do nothing for her except pray. Whenever I see her in school, she still keeps that kind smile and an expression so soft that it trembles my heart. Mrs Monaf still talks enthusiastically about geography, and I know that I can never see what a truly great person she has been in my life.

We may be only three weeks into December, but artist Jonnie Hartman has been in the holiday spirit for months, designing and building the Grand America Holiday Window Stroll.
The goal with each window stroll is to create playful and uplifting displays (展示), according to Hartman. “I really try to do something lighthearted, something whimsical,_that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world，” Hartman said.
She designs all of the window displays by hand, starting with pencil sketches, then illustrating the designs on her computer and sending parts of the drawings to be printed. From there, Hartman works with a team of five people to build the displays, creating, sewing and embellishing (润色) many elements by hand.
However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.
“When I was in college, I was an art major, and I thought, ‘I don't need math. I will never use it. I'm an artist，’ and guess what, it's the most important thing that I use，” Hartman said. “If I don't get that right, then the windows don't fit, the pieces don't come together and it just doesn't work out.”
The holiday window stroll gives Hartman a unique opportunity to hear the feedback from those who observe her creations, which is something she doesn't always get to experience with her other artworks. She said it's fun to hear people's reactions as they go through the holiday window stroll.
“It just makes me happy that I can kind of set the tone for people's holiday season and just maybe bring a smile to their face，” Hartman said.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了“美国盛大的假日橱窗漫步”的设计者和修建者——Jonnie Hartman，她带领自己的五人团队手工制作了各种展品，克服了种种挑战，并且通过这项工作她转变了对数学的态度。她喜欢听取人们对展品的反馈。
9．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “whimsical” in Paragraph 2?
A．Serious. B．Exciting.
C．Unusual. D．Ordinary.
答案：C　词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的“that is, something everyone can imagine and maybe not see every day in the real world”可知，那是一种每个人都能想象到的，但在真实世界中可能不能每天都见到的东西，因此，画线单词的意思是“异想天开的”，C项与此含义相近，所以选C。
10．What challenges Hartman most in designing the displays?
A．The pattern. B．The fit.
C．The colour. D．The teamwork.
答案：B　细节理解题。题干中的关键词是challenges，据此定位到第四段“However, a challenge Hartman has faced over the years as she designed the displays is making sure all of the measurements are right for elements to fit inside the windows.”，因此，Hartman在制作展品的过程中，最大的挑战是确保各个组件的尺寸“适合”，能装入橱窗，所以选B。
11．What does Hartman think about math now?
A．She values it very much.
B．She still thinks it's useless.
C．It is a piece of cake for her.
D．It's not suitable for her to learn.
答案：A　细节理解题。题干中的关键词是math，由此定位到文章第五段中的“I thought ... it's the most important thing that I use”，由此可知，她现在非常“重视”数学，所以选A。
12．Why is the holiday window stroll unique for Hartman?
A．It just can make her happy.
B．She has a chance to create artworks by hand.
C．It can help improve her other artworks.
D．She can get some remarks from the viewers.
答案：D　细节理解题。题干中的关键词是unique，由此定位到文章第六段中的“The holiday window ... observe her creations”，由此可知，假日橱窗漫步之所以对Jonnie Hartman来说特别是因为她能听到人们对她作品的评论，因此选D。

(2019·广西桂林适应性考试)Finding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you're covered in fur and don't speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.
Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café， in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.
Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative (创新的) plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn't like that. I did get lonely. I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”
Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.
Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.
“Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazing people with similar interests.”
SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to, where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town. There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”

For many Americans, monarch (帝王) butterflies are a sign of changing seasons. In the late summer and early autumn, the butterflies fly south, from Canada and the United States' mainland to Mexico. But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright, colorful insects in Canada, which greatly surprises her.
Darlene Burgess notices a large number of monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada, which attract a lot of visitors. “Nice as this is to see, I really wish I wouldn't see it because they're running out of time，” she said. “It's really not good for them.” Their large numbers are not normal for late October. Monarchs normally arrive in Mexico around November 1st.
There are a few reasons why the monarchs did not fly south when they were supposed to. Some monarchs were born late. Some did not move south because of warm weather. Others could not fly south because of strong winds that lasted for weeks. Now, they may be stuck because temperatures are starting to fall. Elizabeth Howard is a biologist and director of a non－profit group called Journey North. She said the Monarch's muscles do not work well when temperatures go below 15 degrees Celsius.
“Monarchs have faced a number of problems in recent years. Habitat loss, climate change, and chemical pesticides have hurt the butterfly population, but it seemed that the climate change contributed most to the problems，” said Lincoln Brower, a biology professor at Sweet Briar College. Brower has been studying the butterflies since 1954. The colorful creatures also have a decreasing food supply, especially in the form of milkweed, which are the only food they can eat when they are caterpillars (毛虫)．
篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。对于许多美国人来说，帝王蝶预示着季节的变化。但如今，帝王蝶却因气候变化等因素的影响而改变了迁徙的习惯。
8．Why does Darlene Burgess feel surprised?
A．She feels the season has greatly changed.
B．She spots many colorful butterflies in Canada.
C．Many monarch butterflies don't fly to America.
D．A lot of monarch butterflies don't leave Canada in autumn.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“But Darlene Burgess still keeps seeing the bright, colorful insects in Canada, which greatly surprises her.”可知，达琳·伯吉斯仍在加拿大的秋天看到帝王蝶，这个现象使她感到奇怪。故选D项。
9．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．Many butterflies appear in late October.
B．The monarch butterflies are bright and colorful.
C．The number of monarch butterflies is increasing.
D．A lot of monarch butterflies make a beautiful scene.
答案：D　指代判断题。根据文章第二段第一句“Darlene Burgess notices a large number of monarch butterflies at Point Pelee National Park in Ontario, Canada, which attract a lot of visitors.”可知，大量帝王蝶在位于安大略的皮利角国家公园飞舞，吸引了大批游客。由此可猜测，此处的this应指代上一句提到的这一景象。故选D项。
10．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．The habits of the monarch butterflies.
B．The changes of the monarch butterflies.
C．Some reasons affecting the monarch butterflies.
D．The living conditions of the monarch butterflies.
答案：C　段落大意题。文章第三段第一句“There are a few reasons why the monarchs did not fly south when they were supposed to.”为本段的主题句，指出帝王蝶在本该飞往南方时却选择留下有几个原因，下文具体列举了各种理由。故选C项。
11．What has most probably caused monarch butterflies' problems?
A．Habitat loss. B．Climate change.
C．Food shortage. D．Chemical pesticides.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Monarchs have faced a number of problems in recent years. Habitat loss, climate change, and chemical pesticides have hurt the butterfly population, but it seemed that the climate change contributed most to the problems”可知，帝王蝶面临很多问题，如栖息地的丧失、气候的变化以及杀虫剂的危害等，其中气候变化是最主要的问题。故选B项。

I've never been the kind of person to say, “it's the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew_me_away.
For years now, I've been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to me, this house is much more than just a building.
In the front room, there's a wall that has hundreds of pencil lines, marking the progress of my children's growth.
Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child's name and the date when they were measured. Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's the hardest to leave behind. Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over. A new paint job wouldn't normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for everyone to see.
Over the years, I've talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing.
So one day, while I was at work, my children decided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns (晚礼服)．
She came to our house while I was at work, and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (指纹), and old marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children's wonderful gift made its way to me—a life－size photo of the pencil lines and fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了孩子们送给“我”的一件充满爱意的特殊礼物。
4．The underlined phrase “blew me away” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．
A．attracted me B．surprised me
C．accepted me D．refused me
答案：B　词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“I've never been the kind of person to say, ‘it's the thought that counts' ... when my kids gave me a present”及下文的描述可知，“我”以前不相信送礼物的人的心思最重要，但几个星期前“我”的孩子们送给“我”的礼物让“我”改变了这样的想法，所以此处blew me away表示使“我”吃惊。
5．What does the house really mean to the author?
A．A house. B．A building.
C．Objects. D．Memories.
答案：D　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Of all the objects and all the memories, it's this one thing in a home that's the hardest to leave behind.”可知，对作者来说这栋房子意味着回忆。
6．What surprised the friends the author knows after work?
A．Finding the wall repainted.
B．Erasing the fingerprints.
C．Greeting them by tears.
D．Leaving the wall unfinished.
答案：A　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over.”可知，令朋友们吃惊的是房屋的墙面又被重新粉刷了。
7．What is the best title for the text?
A．Gift Made with Love
B．Buildings Made by Children
C．A Very Wonderful Painting
D．A Family History
答案：A　标题判断题。根据全文内容，尤其是最后一段可知，这篇文章主要讲述了孩子们送给“我”的一份用爱制成的礼物，故A项作本文标题最佳。
C
Encouraging life to bloom (兴旺) in the middle of a desert is no easy task. But one company in the United Arab Emirates has come up with a plan to provide drinking water for the state's citizens. The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.
The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica. It will then transport them around 5,500 miles to Fujairah, one part of the UAE. One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years, according to the company.
The company's director says they have already travelled the transportation route and checked the possibility of the scheme, according to reports in Gulf News. Speaking to the site about what he is calling the UAE Iceberg Project, Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi said, “We have made the technical and financial plan. We will start the project at the beginning of 2018. We want it mainly for the water. It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”
The UAE is one of the driest countries in the world, due to its extremely arid climate, which receives less than four inches of rainfall per year. Despite that, it consumes more water than double the global national average, putting the country at severe risk of droughts over the next 25 years.
An average iceberg contains more than 20 billion gallons of water, according to the company. The iceberg takes a long time to melt as 80 percent of it is under the water, while the white ice above reflects sunlight and deflects (使转向) its heat. Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed. “This is the purest water in the world，” Mr Al Shehi added.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿联酋有一家公司计划把南极洲的冰山运到附近的海湾，以解决国内的缺水问题。

A．It will help the UAE harvest fresh water.
B．It will encourage life to boom in Antarctica.
C．It will put the UAE at severe risk of droughts.
D．It will completely change the climate in the UAE.
答案：A　细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句“The company intends to drag icebergs from Antarctica to the gulf coast in order to harvest its fresh water.”可知，这个项目会给阿联酋带来淡水。故选A项。
9．Where could the block of ice come from?
A．The Atlantic Ocean. B．Fujairah.
C．The Gulf. D．Heard Island.
答案：D　细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句“The company plans to source the massive blocks of ice from Heard Island, around 600 miles off the coast of mainland Antarctica.”可知，这个公司计划从Heard Island上获取冰山。source在本句中表示“从……获得”。
10．Which of the following may NOT benefit from the project?
A．The local people. B．Antarctica.
C．The weather. D．Tourism.
答案：B　细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“One iceberg could provide enough water for one million people over five years”和第三段最后一句“It could also be good for tourism and the weather.”可知，冰山可以为人们带来淡水，这个项目对旅游业和气候也有利，结合题目要求可知选B项。
11．The author mentions the nature of ice in the last paragraph to show ________.
A．the process of the project
B．the possibility of the plan
C．the purpose of the company
D．the comments on the scheme
答案：B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中提到的冰山含有大量的水且融化需要很长时间，再结合“Blocks of ice will be placed in giant tanks, before being processed.”可以推知，作者在该段提及冰的特性意在表明该计划的可实施性，故选B项。

“Are you going to Seattle？” an anxious－looking woman asked a female traveler at the Amtrak Station in Sacramento. “No, I'm going to Eugene，” the traveler replied. “Oh, I was hoping you could watch out for my daughter; she's never been on a train before.”
Since I am a seasoned train traveler, I know that seats and cars are assigned by destination. So I approached the woman and her frightened－looking daughter and told them that her daughter could sit with me and that I would take care of her for the duration of the journey.
The train had arrived 25 minutes late, and people rushed to get their seat assignments. The conductor wanted to know if there were people traveling together, so I pushed my way to the front of the line with the girl and we were arranged to sit next to each other. Once on board, I showed her where to put her luggage, and took her to the bathroom area. We settled down to sleep. In the morning, she became comfortable enough to do what most 15－year olds do, talk and text on her mobile phone.
Throughout the trip, I made sure she picked up her ID, which had fallen out of her backpack, and generally kept an eye on her in a non－intrusive way. I hope someone takes her under their wing when she flies (another anxiety－producing first) back to Sacramento.
I do hope that kindness will spread around the world through these ways. We're conditioned to think that our lives revolved (旋转) around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware, beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

When Daniel Kish enters a room, he may not be able to see, but his ears give him a 360 degree view. Kish uses echolocation (回声定位)—just like bats or whales—to sense the world. And it allows him to do everything from cycling to hiking, all on his own, without the benefit of sight.
Kish was affected by retinal (视网膜的) cancer and had to have both eyes removed before he was 13 months old. Amazingly, he taught himself that by making small noises he could listen for their echoes (回声) and learn what surrounded him. Today, at age 51, Kish is an expert at human echolocation.
Like many of those who use echoes, Kish makes clicking noises with his tongue and then listens for their echoes in the environment. “It is the same process bats use，” Kish told BBC News. “You send out a sound or a call and sound waves are physical waves—they bounce back from physical surfaces.”
As Kish, a “real－life Batman”， explains in this TED talk, echolocation allows him to distinguish not only an object's size but its texture.
So he can tell the difference between a tree, a wooden fence and a car, all with just a few clicks of his tongue. This ability has made Kish, and other human echolocaters, the subject of a number of studies aimed at better understanding the process.
In 2009, a Spanish study analyzed the clicking noise that Kish used to sense the world and found that his method of pulling his tongue backward instead of downward from the roof of his mouth created a noise that was sharp and clean and perfectly suited to echolocation. A few years later, another study from researchers at the University of Western Ontario used brain mapping to determine that the area of the brain that a sighted person would use to interpret visual information works in a blind person who uses echolocation.
Researchers also have learned that human echolocation can be taught and requires only a few weeks of practice. Kish, through his non－profit organization World Access for the Blind, hopes to do that by training sight－impaired individuals all over the world to become more independent in their environment.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了有视障的Kish利用弹舌回声定位感知世界并且介绍了研究人员对回声定位的研究成果。
8．What's most special about Kish?
A．He is good at learning from bats.
B．He sees the world with his ears.
C．He has traveled across the world.
D．He has a variety of hobbies.
答案：B　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Amazingly, he taught himself that by making small noises he could listen for their echoes (回声) and learn what surrounded him.”得知，Kish利用回声定位来感知世界，即他通过用耳朵听来感知周围的世界。故选B。
9．What's the probable meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 4?
A．Material. B．Framework.
C．Style. D．Color.
答案：A　词义猜测题。根据第四段内容再结合第五段中的“So he can tell the difference between a tree, a wooden fence and a car”得知，Kish可利用回声定位判断物体的大小和材质，故选A。
10．What does the study at the University of Western Ontario discover?
A．The way Kish makes a noise is unique.
B．The quality of the voices plays a key role.
C．The blind's brain reacts to returned noises.
D．It requires long－time practice to use echolocation.
答案：C　推理判断题。根据第六段最后一句“A few years later, another study from researchers at the University of Western Ontario used brain mapping to determine that the area of the brain that a sighted person would use to interpret visual information works in a blind person who uses echolocation.”得知，同视力正常的人一样，使用回声定位的盲人，其用来理解视觉信息的大脑区域也起作用。就此推理，盲人的大脑对回声有反应。故选C。
11．Which can best describe Kish based on the last paragraph?
A．Optimistic. B．Devoted.
C．Energetic. D．Helpful.
答案：D　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Kish, through his non－profit organization World Access for the Blind, hopes to do that by training sight－impaired individuals all over the world to become more independent in their environment.”得知，Kish想通过非营利性组织来培训视力有障碍的人，提高他们的独立性。由此推知，他是一个乐于助人的人，故选D。

(2019·百校联盟联考)Caroline Solomon was on her high school's swim team. But at times she could not go into the creek (溪流) near her home. It was simply too polluted. “I decided I wanted to do something about it，” she recalls. So she studied environmental science and public policy at Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass. Later, she went to graduate school. Some of her classes could be challenging, though, since she couldn't hear her teachers. “I've been deaf since I was 15 months old.” Solomon notes.
Today she teaches biology at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC. She has no trouble communicating with her students. They, too, are primarily deaf or hard of hearing. That's why all classes at Gallaudet are taught in American Sign Language. Solomon also has an active life outside the classroom. She especially enjoys hiking, biking and other activities with her family.
Her research takes her to the Anacostia River. “It is very close to Gallaudet, and I easily bring my students there，” she says. Water running through local forests and marshes drains into this river. So does water running off urban streets, golf courses and industrial sites. “The river's watershed (集水区) kind of concentrates all the things that happen when humans mess with the natural landscape，” she explains. Not surprisingly, this river has developed a reputation for being quite polluted.
Solomon has been focusing on how pollutants affect tiny organisms that form the base of the river's food web. “I am now looking at the bacteria population，” she says, “to see what types there are.”
Solomon wants to see more students who are deaf or have other disabilities make a difference in environmental science and other fields. As she often says, “If I can do it, you can do it.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了一个有听力障碍的女孩卡罗琳·所罗门，她是学校游泳队的队员，但是她家附近的溪流因污染严重而不能游泳，对此她深受触动，因此，她决定研究环保问题，并呼吁更多的残疾人保护环境。

B．Solomon's school.
C．The polluted creek.
D．The local environment.
答案：C　指代判断题。根据前文中的“But at times she could not go into the creek (溪流) near her home. It was simply too polluted.”可知，她家附近的溪流因污染严重，人们不能在里面游泳。由此推测出这位女孩是想针对这条被污染的河流做一些事情。故选C。
5．What made Solomon study environmental science?
A．Her teacher's influence.
B．Her physical conditions.

6．What does Solomon think of disabled students?
A．They should be encouraged to live actively.
B．They can make contributions if they want to.
C．They should be treated differently by others.

I handed the card from my school's help-wanted board to the man behind the counter of Mort's Deli (熟食店) at the Farmers Market in Los Angeles. Even before I opened my mouth, he was shaking his head.
It was September 1957, and my family had just arrived in California. My father only got work two or three days a week. Our poor savings were gone, and as the eldest boy of the family, I was the only one able to help.
“Let me work the rest of the week, and if you don't like the way I do the job, don't pay me，” I said. The tall man stared at me, then nodded. At Mort's, I worked very hard. Near the end of the day he called me up to him. “How much did that card at school say this job paid？” he asked. “One dollar an hour，” I whispered. Actually I was willing to take less.
“That's not enough for someone who works as hard as you，” Mort said. “You start at $1.25.” Over the next few weeks I learned a lot about Mort. Our store was closed on Sundays, so every Saturday evening Mort urged me to take home the leftover soup. It_was_a_meal_in_itself,_a_treat_for_my_struggling_family.
One Saturday after work, I was about to step in my house when I saw a large man in my father's chair. He was swearing at my father. I quietly walked into the kitchen and listened through the door. The man wanted to take our car. Dad offered to make the three payments that were due, but the man demanded the entire sum—$325—or the car. I slipped out of the door, thinking: Who might have $325? Who would even consider lending me so much money?
The only person I could think of was Mort. I ran back to his deli and told him my tale. “So, could you possibly lend, my father $325？” I finished, realizing how absurd it sounded. Although Mort's eyes bored (挖) holes in my face, he gave me $325, saying, “I'll take back half your wages until it's repaid.”
That night I was a hero to my family. But the real hero was Mort Rubin, who quietly raised my salary every month afterwards. He made the world a better place.

Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
At a farm off Narrow Lane near Lexington, Kentucky, the US, old－fashioned houses look over the little red barn (畜舍). The farm is mostly empty now. Jim Mahan and his family, who lived there for generations, have moved to a different plot of land in northern Fayette County. As land is sold, houses go up where there once were fields.
But during the summer, the barn is filled with city kids who have come to enjoy the farm. They're members of the Fayette County Livestock (FCL) Club, which showcases skills as varied as cutting wool. The barn is where they look after the animals. “A lot of Lexington kids don't know anything about farm life，” said Adria Meier, 17, who has looked after goats and sheep for three years. “There is so much to learn.”
The dozen or so children who take care of their goats and sheep at the little red barn must do a six－hour class before they get an animal. They pay for their own animals but get special club programs, such as one that provides vets (兽医)．
Mahan lets the group use the barn for free, and the kids spend up to three hours a day there during the summer. But as his land gets sold, he doesn't know whether the club can continue. What makes the FCL Club special is that most of the kids can't just walk out their doors and take care of their animals. Most are driven to the barn by their mothers, who usually hang around and chat as their kids feed and exercise the animals.
There are valuable lessons learned along the way. For instance, don't cut wool off your goat when there is wind, and sheep are social animals and will cry loudly when separated. “Tending animals helps teach us responsibility. Unlike learning to shoot an arrow, caring for an animal isn't something you can simply abandon，” said Carly Playforth, 16, of Lexington.
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章向我们讲述了一群城里的孩子来到乡间农场体验不同的生活——照顾农场动物的故事。

3．How does Carly Playforth feel about the experience?
A．Suspicious. B．Moved.
C．Appreciative. D．Opposed.
答案：C　推理判断题。最后一段首句是段落主旨句，作者引用Carly Playforth的话为的是进一步说明照顾动物教会孩子们的珍贵东西，比如责任。由此可知，Carly Playforth对这种经历是赞赏的(Appreciative)。
4．What is the passage mainly about?
A．Kids' life on a sold farm.
B．Valuable lessons learned on the farm.

(2019·贵州省遵义航天高级中学高三四模)Try this: For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired. What do you think will happen?
You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You'll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don't know what time it is, your body does. These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms (生理节奏), and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies are several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks direct changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepiness and more.
Everyone's rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at night and energetic during the day. Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understand why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadian rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can make people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly staying up late can make kids do worse in tests.
“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sleep are important parts of how healthy we are，” says Steven Shea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That's what neurologist (神经病学家) Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study. Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularly sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the recent increase in childhood obesity.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述长期形成的生理节奏会保持我们的正常生活，生物钟紊乱会影响我们的生活。
5．What will happen if you forget about the clock according to the passage?
A．You will feel upset.
B．You will behave normally.
C．Your body will not know what time it is.
D．You will probably get hungry more easily.
答案：B　推理判断题。第二段中的第一、二句“You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You'll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep.”说明你可能会惊讶地发现，你的一天和大多数其他日子很相似。由此可知即使不知道时间，人们的作息也会和平时一样。故B项正确。
6．Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleepy. What advice would be given by the writer?
A．Both should see a doctor.
B．Tom should see a doctor.
C．Both should take it easy.
D．Mike should have a watch.
答案：C　推理判断题。第三段中的第一句“Everyone's rhythms are different, which is why you might like to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed early.”表明每个人的节奏都不一样，这就是为什么你可能喜欢熬夜，而你姐姐总是想早点睡觉。由此可知，Mike在半夜12点感到精力充沛，而Tom却昏昏欲睡。是生理节奏不同，不是身体有问题，所以不必在意。故C项正确。
7．How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body clocks?
A．By seeing what happens when they are messed up.
B．By asking questions and collecting answers.
C．By studying people traveling across time zones.
D．By programming people with man-made clocks.
答案：A　细节理解题。最后一段第一句“One way to learn about how our body clocks tick is to mess them up and see what happens.”说明了解我们的生物钟是如何运转的一个方法是把它们弄乱，看看会发生什么。结合该段第二句可知Frank Scheer及其工作伙伴正是用这种方法做近期的研究的。故A项正确。
8．What will the writer most probably talk about next?
A．Other examples of what people will do when their body clocks go wrong.
B．Some effective medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.
C．The importance of eating healthy food.
D．What circadian rhythms are and how they work.
答案：A　推理判断题。由最后一段最后两句可知，他们的研究表明，夜复一夜的熬夜会让孩子更加饥饿，更有可能发胖。Scheer说，经常睡眠太少可能是儿童肥胖最近增加的原因之一。承接上文生物钟紊乱所带来的不良影响，推断作者在下文还要继续列举生物钟紊乱的例子和不良影响。故A项正确。
C
Competition in the workplace can be a good thing for a number of different reasons. On the other hand, competition can also have some disadvantages, though. Some industries tend to be more competitive in the workplace than others. For instance, those in the sales field will typically be more competitive with co－workers than individuals in other fields, such as information technology. Nevertheless, a little competition in even the least competitive industries can be positive.
Competition in the workplace can create an environment where employees push each other to exceed their normal limits, which can result in increased production, both at an individual level and among the entire workforce as a whole. As individual production numbers increase, so do those of the entire team of workers who seek to outdo one another. Competition can be rewarded with bonuses or various types of rewards.
Workplace competition can also inspire a commitment to self－improvement. While financial motivations and bonuses are always a plus to get the competition going, those who see the bigger picture may take the competition as an opportunity to better themselves in the process of winning the competition. Self－improvement may include actions like changing work habits to be more organized, using visualization and goal setting to achieve goals and simply performing higher quality work.
Not all competition in the workplace necessarily has to take place at the individual level. Competition can bring about a sense of teamwork in the workplace when workers are placed in groups and asked to compete with one another, which can have a number of positive results that come from workers cooperating with each other. For example, workers can learn the value of communication and helping someone else, both of which have an influence on other areas of work like customer service.

A．The sales field.
B．Film Production.

A．It changes their lifestyles greatly.
B．It assists them to achieve a higher goal.
C．It improves their financial management.

12．What is the best title for the text?
A．Benefits of Workplace Competition
B．Reasons for Joining in Competitions
