Most of you have heard of the term "big data" by now. When a company records the information of millions of users, it can analyze this "big data" to discover patterns and trends, allowing them to make better business decisions. It sounds like a science experiment, but every single user who gives up their information becomes an unwilling test subject. Companies claim that the data is used to provide "better service".
When shopping on Taobao, for example, you will get product recommendations based on your previous purchases, making it easier to finish a shopping list. However, did you really end up only purchasing items you originally had in mind? Or did you add a few more to the cart as a result of their recommendations? And the customer? They just become one more point of data in the system.
Of course, you might be fine with spending a little extra from time to time, but that is only a tiny droplet (水滴) in the vast sea of big data. Moreover, companies can actually buy and sell your data. So, that is another way for companies to make quick money. The next time a photo editing application asks for your contacts, location and calendar, you may wonder which company is looking to buy your information.
As technology grows more advanced, there will only be more opportunities for you to be exposed. Every single photo, text or video you post on the internet is there to help someone paint a better picture of you. Perhaps in the near future, someone will have collected enough data to predict the future decisions you will make before you even make them. Actually, given the amount of data that is already at their disposal (任意使用 ), maybe it is already happening.
24. What is the purpose of collecting big data for companies?
A. To cut the cost of running companies B. To assist companies get higher profit
C. To provide better service to customers D. To analyze companies’ economic advantages
25. What of the following is the missing sentence in Paragraph3?
A. Big date benefits the customers. B. That’s where the business wins.
C. Taobao dominates the shopping markets. D. Product recommendations make shopping easier.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. More Data, Less Privacy B. Big Data, Better life
C. More Data, Less Trouble D. Big Data, Future Predictor
C
In 2016, a young British father was trampled(踩踏)to death by an elephant on the island of Koh Samui in ThaiJand. The tragedy once again raised questions over whether it is ethical to use elephants as entertainment.
For many visitors, the chance to interact with elephants is at the top of their holiday wish list. There's no shortage of opportunities to do so, from taking photos of baby elephants to riding them through the jungle, to watching them dance.
But what most visitors don't realize is elephants are involved in extremely cruel methods to make them behave. They are often kept in terrible conditions. This includes being chained up when not performing, without interaction with other elephants, a poor diet, etc. They are also subjected to training practices including beatings. Away from their natural habitat and forced to repeat the same routines day in day out, which continues throughout their dramatically-shortened lives.
Unfortunately, riding elephants is still one of the most popular tourist activities in Asia. The World Animal Protection investigated 3,000 elephants at tourist sites across Southern Asia in 2017. The study found that 77% of them were living in "severely cruel" conditions. It also found that there had been a 30% rise in the number of elephants at tourism venues in Thailand since 2010.
Many parks advertise themselves as sanctuaries (庇护所)but they aren’t. Real sanctuaries will limit contact with the elephants and visitors can only observe them from a distance most of the time.
The government needs to play a much bigger role in putting an end to elephant tourism. As travelers, please avoid any place offering riding or allowing interacting sessions with elephants. When you see abuse happening, do your bit by leaving your review on review sites and social media to warn other tourists. Many parks are now becoming ride-free as a result of pressure from tourists, the industry and the media.
27. What does the underlined word 揺thical most probably mean?
A. Safe B. Welcome C. Moral D. Available
28. What抯 the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The cause of elephant tourism. B. The way of interacting with elephants.
C. The opportunities tourist can get. D. The worse condition elephants are in.
29. How does the writer support the main idea in Paragraph 4?
A. By making different comparisons B. By following the order of time and places.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By giving examples and listing numbers.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The media and internet worked greater.
B. Riding elephants is free with tourists efforts.
C. Ending elephant tourism is necessary but hard.
D. Governments and tourists solved the problem together.

67. 阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay Art Museum, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum.
揇o you have the address? Sally asked while we were on the way.
揘o, but I will recognize it. There was a picture in the magazine I answered confidently.
揙h. There it is. I pulled my car slowly over a house which seemed like a house with heavy smell爋f爈ife rather than a former residence(故居).?
Surprisingly, nobody was at the gate and admission was free. We opened the door and entered, excited. A group of people sitting around a table stopped chatting and started at us.
A sweet girl in her teens locked her eyes on us and welcomed us with a sweet smile, 揌ello, but who are you looking for?
A man stood up and said almost at the same time May I help you?
揘o, I said. 揥e抮e fine.
Tour guides got on my nervous. What if they talked a long time about a painting you were not that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very confused keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? Some nice sculptures were well placed along the staircases(楼梯) and some paintings from Van Gogh or Picasso were hanging on walls and I appreciated them and highly praised the most beautiful house. Suddenly a picture of a man surrounded by a warm family caught my eyes and I also spotted the sweet girl among them.
“This is the most beautiful house I have visited.” said I, turning sharply, almost scaring the girl standing behind me.
“The most beautiful house ? The most beautiful house!”She murmured.
“Am I at the McNay Art Museum?” asked I .

M: Of course I can. I’ll take it for walks every day, and clean up after it.
W: Do you know what kind of dog you want?
M: Yes, I抳e been looking at some pictures on the Internet. This one with the long golden hair is named Lion.
W: He抯 very cute, but we don抰 have enough room for a dog that big. Those dogs need space to run around, and we live in an apartment. I think we should get a small one.
M: OK, then what about this one? My friend has one like this, and everyone likes it.
W: Those kinds of dogs always have health problems. Plus, they bark a lot. We don抰 want to annoy our neighbors.
M: So what do you suggest?
W: First, we aren抰 getting one from a pet store. They are too expensive. I know a place that saves dogs and gives them away for free.
M: OK.
W: And second, you need to show me you have the sense of responsibility. That means cleaning your room, doing your homework, and helping around the house.
M: I promise!

【解析】
【原文】M: As a young child, I always enjoyed physical challenges more than mental ones. I liked to run and build swings. At that stage I hadn’t yet learned to climb or swim, but that is something I would also have loved to do. One day we had a physical education class at school. We did the long jump and handstands, but it was when I had to do a forward roll that disaster struck. Somehow, I twisted my neck in an extremely painful way. I screamed loudly and the teachers were very concerned. An ambulance was called and I was taken to hospital. The doctors fitted me with a collar and I was told to do no exercise and stay away from school for eight weeks. At first, I was very bored. Having to keep still all day was no fun. So I started to read. I looked at books on the shelf at home. I wasn抰 interested in love stories I avoided those but crime and adventure did appeal. From those eight weeks I developed a lifelong love of reading. When my collar was removed, the doctors told me not to exercise for another four weeks. Instead of being disappointed, I was happy to devote more time to my new love reading.

Most of you have heard of the term "big data" by now. When a company records the information of millions of users, it can analyze this "big data" to discover patterns and trends, allowing them to make better business decisions. It sounds like a science experiment, but every single user who gives up their information becomes an unwilling test subject. Companies claim that the data is used to provide "better service".
When shopping on Taobao, for example, you will get product recommendations based on your previous purchases, making it easier to finish a shopping list. However, did you really end up only purchasing items you originally had in mind? Or did you add a few more to the cart as a result of their recommendations? And the customer? They just become one more point of data in the system.
Of course, you might be fine with spending a little extra from time to time, but that is only a tiny droplet (水滴) in the vast sea of big data. Moreover, companies can actually buy and sell your data. So, that is another way for companies to make quick money. The next time a photo editing application asks for your contacts, location and calendar, you may wonder which company is looking to buy your information.
As technology grows more advanced, there will only be more opportunities for you to be exposed. Every single photo, text or video you post on the internet is there to help someone paint a better picture of you. Perhaps in the near future, someone will have collected enough data to predict the future decisions you will make before you even make them. Actually, given the amount of data that is already at their disposal (任意使用 ), maybe it is already happening.
24. What is the purpose of collecting big data for companies?
A. To cut the cost of running companies B. To assist companies get higher profit
C. To provide better service to customers D. To analyze companies’ economic advantages
25. What of the following is the missing sentence in Paragraph3?
A. Big date benefits the customers. B. That’s where the business wins.
C. Taobao dominates the shopping markets. D. Product recommendations make shopping easier.
26. What is the best title for the text?
A. More Data, Less Privacy B. Big Data, Better life
C. More Data, Less Trouble D. Big Data, Future Predictor
【答案】24. B 25. B 26. A
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。大多数人现在都听说过“大数据”这个词,收集数据的这些公司声称这些数据被用来提供“更好的服务”。但是实际上这只是为了帮助企业获得更高的利润,而随着科技的发展,你被曝光的机会只会越来越多。也许在不久的将来,有人会收集到足够的数据,在你做出决定之前就能预测你未来的决定。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中Of course, you might be fine with spending a little extra from time to time, but that is only a tiny droplet (水滴) in the vast sea of big data. Moreover, companies can actually buy and sell your data. So, that is another way for companies to make quick money.可知当然,偶尔多花一点钱也无妨,但这只是浩瀚的大数据海洋中的一小滴水。此外,公司实际上可以买卖你的数据。所以,这是公司快速赚钱的另一种方式。由此可知,企业收集大数据的目的是帮助企业获得更高的利润。故选B。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据上文When shopping on Taobao, for example, you will get product recommendations based on your previous purchases, making it easier to finish a shopping list. However, did you really end up only purchasing items you originally had in mind? Or did you add a few more to the cart as a result of their recommendations?可知比如,当你在淘宝上购物时,你会得到基于你之前购买的商品的推荐,这使你更容易完成购物清单。然而,你真的只买了你最初想买的东西吗?还是因为他们的推荐,你又增加了一些呢?由此可推知,本句总结上文,说明这种通过推荐来使顾客多买东西的做法,正是企业取得胜利之处。第3段中缺失的句子是“这就是企业的胜利之处”。故选B。
【26题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段As technology grows more advanced, there will only be more opportunities for you to be exposed. Every single photo, text or video you post on the internet is there to help someone paint a better picture of you. Perhaps in the near future, someone will have collected enough data to predict the future decisions you will make before you even make them. Actually, given the amount of data that is already at their disposal (任意使用 ), maybe it is already happening.可知随着科技的发展,你被曝光的机会只会越来越多。你在互联网上发布的每一张照片、文字或视频,都是为了帮助别人更好地描绘你的形象。也许在不久的将来,有人会收集到足够的数据,在你做出决定之前就能预测你未来的决定。其实,鉴于他们已经掌握了大量的数据,也许这一切已经在发生了。结合文章说明了大多数人现在都听说过“大数据”这个词,收集数据的这些公司声称这些数据被用来提供“更好的服务”。但是实际上这只是为了帮助企业获得更高的利润,而随着科技的发展,你被曝光的机会只会越来越多。也许在不久的将来,有人会收集到足够的数据,在你做出决定之前就能预测你未来的决定。由此可知,A选项“更多的数据,更少的隐私”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
In 2016, a young British father was trampled(踩踏)to death by an elephant on the island of Koh Samui in ThaiJand. The tragedy once again raised questions over whether it is ethical to use elephants as entertainment.
For many visitors, the chance to interact with elephants is at the top of their holiday wish list. There's no shortage of opportunities to do so, from taking photos of baby elephants to riding them through the jungle, to watching them dance.
But what most visitors don't realize is elephants are involved in extremely cruel methods to make them behave. They are often kept in terrible conditions. This includes being chained up when not performing, without interaction with other elephants, a poor diet, etc. They are also subjected to training practices including beatings. Away from their natural habitat and forced to repeat the same routines day in day out, which continues throughout their dramatically-shortened lives.
Unfortunately, riding elephants is still one of the most popular tourist activities in Asia. The World Animal Protection investigated 3,000 elephants at tourist sites across Southern Asia in 2017. The study found that 77% of them were living in "severely cruel" conditions. It also found that there had been a 30% rise in the number of elephants at tourism venues in Thailand since 2010.
Many parks advertise themselves as sanctuaries (庇护所)but they aren’t. Real sanctuaries will limit contact with the elephants and visitors can only observe them from a distance most of the time.
The government needs to play a much bigger role in putting an end to elephant tourism. As travelers, please avoid any place offering riding or allowing interacting sessions with elephants. When you see abuse happening, do your bit by leaving your review on review sites and social media to warn other tourists. Many parks are now becoming ride-free as a result of pressure from tourists, the industry and the media.
27. What does the underlined word 揺thical most probably mean?
A. Safe B. Welcome C. Moral D. Available
28. What抯 the third paragraph mainly about?
A. The cause of elephant tourism. B. The way of interacting with elephants.
C. The opportunities tourist can get. D. The worse condition elephants are in.
29. How does the writer support the main idea in Paragraph 4?
A. By making different comparisons B. By following the order of time and places.
C. By analyzing cause and effect. D. By giving examples and listing numbers.
30. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The media and internet worked greater.
B. Riding elephants is free with tourists’ efforts.
C. Ending elephant tourism is necessary but hard.
D. Governments and tourists solved the problem together.
【答案】27. C 28. D 29. D 30. C
【解析】
本文是议论文。作者由大象踩踏事件引发讨论,揭露大象作为娱乐方式的残忍,呼吁游客行动起来保护大象。
【27题详解】
词句猜测题。分析句子可知,it是宾语从句中的形式主语,真正的主语是to use elephants as entertainment.,因此推断,从大象踩踏事故,再次引发人们对于使用大象作为娱乐方式是否是道德这个问题的讨论,下文内容是对此问题的剖析,故划线词词义与C项意思相近。故选C。
【28题详解】
主旨大意题。段落第一句But what most visitors don't realize is elephants are involved in extremely cruel methods to make them behave.点明了本段的主旨,大部分游客没有意识到,大象被残忍对待,让它们言听计从。下文内容对此进行了详细阐述。因此推断本段主要阐述了大象糟糕的生存状况。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段提到的“investigated 3,000 elephants”“77% of them”“a 30% rise in the number of elephants”可推断,本段使用举例和列数字的方式说明主旨。故选D。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的The government needs to play a much bigger role in putting an end to elephant tourism.( 政府需要在结束大象旅游方面发挥更大的作用)和下文Many parks are now becoming ride-free as a result of pressure from tourists, the industry and the media.( 由于来自游客、行业和媒体的压力,许多公园现在正变得免费)可推断,结束大象旅游时必要的但是困难的。故选C。

本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国将建立以三江源为龙头的国家公园系统及其重要意义。
【31题详解】
根据前句“High on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau lies China’s “Water tower” Sanjiangyuan.(中国的“水塔”三江源坐落在青藏高原的高处。)”和后句“The three rivers: the Yellow River, the Yangtze River and Lancang River, provide water for about half the population of China.(三江:黄河、长江和澜沧江,为中国大约一半的人口提供水源。)”可知,此句为承上启下句。选择项中It指代上句中的“Sanjiangyuan”,“three big rivers”与下句中的“The three rivers”保持一致。所以B选项“它是中国三大河流的源头。”符合上下文语境,故选B。
【32题详解】
根据上文“However, human activities such as overgrazing(过度放牧) are putting this ecosystem at risk.(然而,过度放牧等人类活动正将这个生态系统置于危险之中。)”和后句“In 2016, the Chinese government established Sanjiangyuan National Park, which was a pilot(试行) program for China’s national park system.( 2016年,中国政府设立了三江源国家公园,这是中国国家公园体系的一个试点项目。)”可知,我们已经意识到保护生态环境的重要性。所以A选项“然而,令人欣慰的是,我们意识到了这种损害。”符合上下文语境,故选A。
【33题详解】
根据前句“In 2016, the Chinese government established Sanjiangyuan National Park, which was a pilot(试行) program for China’s national park system.( 2016年,中国政府设立了三江源国家公园,这是中国国家公园体系的一个试点项目。)”和后句“Due to the progress made in the region, Qinghai held the first National Park Forum on Aug 19.(由于该地区取得的进展,青海省于8月19日举行了首届国家公园论坛。)”可知,我们已经意识到保护生态环境的重要性。选择项中“The park”指代前句中的“Sanjiangyuan National Park”。所以E选项“公园增加了该地区的绿色覆盖率,吸引了更多的野生动物。”符合上下文语境,故选E。
【34题详解】
根据后文“For example, Herdsmen have given their grasslands to nature and resettled in urban area. As for wildlife, they are monitored by field conservation stations to keep the environment in good condition.(例如,牧民把草原交给大自然,重新安置在城市。至于野生动物,野外保护站会对它们进行监测,以保持环境的良好状态。)”可知,这里是保护环境所采取的措施。所以G选项“当地政府有各种减缓环境恶化的方法。”符合上下文语境,故选G。
【35题详解】
根据首句“The idea of a national park system is still new in China, but it must be realized.(国家公园系统的想法在中国仍然是新的,但它必须实现。)”和前句“With great efforts,people may one day be able to enjoy themselves in the vast lands of Sanjiangyuan and run freely across the plains alongside nature’s animals. (经过艰苦的努力,人们也许有一天可以在三江源这片辽阔的土地上和大自然的动物们在一起自由自在地奔跑,)”可知,建立国家公园系统的想法在中国仍然是新的,环境保护的努力只是一个开始。所以F选项“三江源的成功有望标志着一个更加绿色的未来的开始。”符合上下文语境,故选F。

67. 阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
When I was 17, I read a magazine article about a museum called the McNay Art Museum, once the home of a watercolorist named Marian McNay. She had requested the community to turn it into a museum upon her death. On a sunny Saturday, Sally and I drove over to the museum.
“Do you have the address?” Sally asked while we were on the way.
“No, but I will recognize it. There was a picture in the magazine” I answered confidently.
“Oh. There it is.” I pulled my car slowly over a house which seemed like a house with heavy smell?of?life rather than a former residence(故居).?
Surprisingly, nobody was at the gate and admission was free. We opened the door and entered, excited. A group of people sitting around a table stopped chatting and started at us.
A sweet girl in her teens locked her eyes on us and welcomed us with a sweet smile, “Hello, but who are you looking for?”
A man stood up and said almost at the same time “May I help you?”
“No,” I said. “We’re fine.”
Tour guides got on my nervous. What if they talked a long time about a painting you were not that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very confused keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? Some nice sculptures were well placed along the staircases(楼梯) and some paintings from Van Gogh or Picasso were hanging on walls and I appreciated them and highly praised the most beautiful house. Suddenly a picture of a man surrounded by a warm family caught my eyes and I also spotted the sweet girl among them.
“This is the most beautiful house I have visited.” said I, turning sharply, almost scaring the girl standing behind me.
“The most beautiful house ? The most beautiful house!”She murmured.
“Am I at the McNay Art Museum?” asked I .

Years later, after a public speech, a woman approached and thanked me, asking whether I once entered a house , thinking it was the McNay Art Museum.
【答案】Paragraph 1:
She smiled, shaking her head. “Sorry, the McNay Art Museum is on another street.”
“What’s this place?” I asked, still confused.
“It’s my home” she said with a sweet smile and her answer shocked me.
Recovering from the shock, I raced to the staircases and called Sally to come down immediately. I pushed her towards the front door, waving at the family and asking them to forgive us for breaking into their beautiful house. Outside, when I told Sally what had happened, she covered her mouth, laughing.
Paragraph 2:
Years later, after a public speech, a woman approached and thanked me,asking whether I once entered a house , thinking it was the McNay Art Museum .
“Yes. But how do you know? We never told anyone.”I asked in surprise
“That was my home. I was the girl saying hello to you in the hall.”I locked my eyes on her and could figure out the familiar sweet smile. She told me she never felt lucky before we came over and she never realized what a beautiful house she once lived in. Her feeling about her home changed after that and she had always wanted to thank me.
