【原文】
Welcome
to
the
Selmore
Public
Library.
To
join
the
library,
you
need
a
membership
card.
Take
your
passport
or
ID
card,
as
well
as
show
you
home
address,
to
the
information
desk.
After
a
period
of
two
years,
all
readers
are
required
to
go
to
the
desk
with
a
paper
that
has
their
name
and
present
address
on
it,
so
the
library
can
keep
up-to-date
records
of
where
people
are
living.
There’s
no
need
to
register
again
and
there
is
no
charge
for
this.
If
you
can’t
find
the
book
you
want
on
the
shelf,
you
can
book
it
in
advance.
If
it’s
in
another
library
in
the
city,
we
can
usually
get
it
for
you
within
a
week.
If
someone
else
has
borrowed
it,
it
can
take
a
few
weeks.
Either
way,
we
tell
you
by
phone
when
the
book
can
be
picked
up.
We
will
hold
it
for
you
for
five
days.
Books
can
be
borrowed
for
fourteen
days.
Children’s
books
also
have
a
two-week
borrowing
period.
So
do
the
CDS.
But
DVDS,
both
children’s
and
adults’,
can
only
be
borrowed
for
up
to
seven
days.
Dictionaries
can
be
borrowed
but
normally
only
for
one
day.
The
library
opening
hours
have
been
changed
slightly.
Instead
of
opening
late
on
Wednesday
evenings
until
8:00
pm,
we
will
be
closing
at
6:00
pm,
but
we
will
close
at
7:00
instead
of
5:30
on
Saturdays
and
we
are
going
to
open
on
Sunday
mornings
from
next
month
from
9:00
to
1:00.
Notices
are
posted
in
the
library
about
these.

Imagine
that
you’ve
got
a
robot
that
looks
like
a
human,
talks
like
a
human,
and
even
interacts
like
a
human.
Although
you
know
it’s
just
a
machine,
you
can
relate
to
it.
But
would
you
consider
it
as
a
friend?
This
is
just
one
of
the
questions
that
you
may
find
difficult
to
answer.
Sooner
or
later
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
will
bring
many
moral
challenges.
But
AI
is
here
to
stay
and
will
have
a
big
impact
on
our
future.
As
Li
Fei-Fei,
professor
of
computer
science
at
Stanford
University
put
it,
“If
our
era
is
the
next
industrial
revolution,
as
many
claim,
AI
is
surely
one
of
its
major
driving
forces.”
Merriam-Webster
defines
AI
as
“the
capability
of
a
machine
to
copy
intelligent
human
behavior”.
But
what
makes
us
want
to
create
“thinking
machines”?
After
all,
thinking
and
consciousness
are
inimitable
things
of
human
beings
–
at
least
at
present.
They
separate
us
from
all
other
creatures
on
Earth.
For
one
thing,
humans
constantly
desire
to
develop
new
technology
just
because
they
can.
The
desire
to
create
AI
is
the
ultimate
expression
of
this:
We
want
to
test
the
limit
of
human
intelligence
by
building
a
brand
new
intelligence.
For
another,
AI
has
all
sorts
of
practical
benefits
to
offer
us.
It
would
free
us
from
repetitive
work
and
make
our
lives
easier.
Imagine
getting
to
your
destination
with
an
AI-guided
self-driving
car.
Imagine
having
an
AI
tutor
that
could
help
you
with
your
homework.
However,
as
AI
becomes
more
important
in
life
the
worries
will
begin.
Will
AI
effectively
start
to
take
over
us?
Today,
with
online
shopping
sites
and
social
networking
platforms,
AI
already
influences
many
of
our
choices.
Algorithms
(算法)
determine
the
content
we
see
on
the
Internet,
and
make
recommendations
about
everything
from
what
we
watch
on
TV
to
where
we
travel.
Some
fear
that
machines
will
become
better
at
making
decisions
than
humans
are,
and
that
therefore
we
will
lose
our
control
of
AI.
But
it’s
not
all
doom
and
gloom(前景黯淡).
Max
Tegmark,
author
of
Life
3.0:
Being
Human
in
the
Age
of
Artificial
Intelligence,
believes
that
with
careful
planning,
AI
can
become
a
powerful
tool.
“I’m
optimistic
that
we
can
create
an
inspiring
future
with
AI
if
we
win
the
race
between
the
growing
power
of
AI
and
the
growing
wisdom
with
which
we
manage
it,”
he
told
Motherboard.
But
like
it
or
not,
AI
is
shaping
the
society
and
will
dramatically
change
the
way
we
live.

【24题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第三段“After
all,
thinking
and
consciousness
are
inimitable
things
of
human
beings
–
at
least
at
present.
They
separate
us
from
all
other
creatures
on
Earth.”（毕竟，至少在目前思维和意识是人类inimitable。他们把我们与地球上其他生物分开）可知，思维和意识把我们和地球上所有其他生物分开。根据上下文可以推断，思维和意识是人类独有的东西，由此可知划线词inimitable指的是“独特的”，与unique意思接近。故选A项。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段的“For
one
thing,
humans
constantly
desire
to
develop
new
technology
just
because
they
can.
The
desire
to
create
AI
is
the
ultimate
expression
of
this:
We
want
to
test
the
limit
of
human
intelligence
by
building
a
brand
new
intelligence.
For
another,
AI
has
all
sorts
of
practical
benefits
to
offer
us.
It
would
free
us
from
repetitive
work
and
make
our
lives
easier.
”（
一方面，人类不断渴望开发新技术，只是因为他们有能力。创造人工智能的想法在于想通过建立一个全新智能来测试人类智能的极限。另一方面，人工智能为我们提供了各种各样的实际好处，它能将我们从重复的工作中解放出来，使我们的生活更容易。）可知，第四段分两个方面讲述人类创造人工智能的原因，即人类渴望开发新技术，以及人工智能为人类提供了实际的好处。故选B项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段的主要内容，尤其第一句“However,
as
AI
becomes
more
important
in
life
the
worries
will
begin.
”（然而，随着人工智能在生活中变得越来越重要，担忧也随之而来）可知，第五段客观描述了人类对于发展人工智能的担忧，但第六段开头“But
it’s
not
all
doom
and
gloom.”指出前景并不黯淡。最后一段“But
like
it
or
not,
AI
is
shaping
the
society
and
will
dramatically
change
the
way
we
live.”（不管你喜不喜欢，人工智能正在重新塑造社会，并将极大地改变我们的生活方式。）指出，不管你喜不喜欢，人工智能正在重新塑造社会，并将极大地改变我们的生活方式。故可以推断，作者对于人工智能给人类带来的影响的态度是客观的。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据Max
Tegmark所表达的“I’m
optimistic
that
we
can
create
an
inspiring
future
with
AI
if
we
win
the
race
between
the
growing
power
of

and
the
growing
wisdom
with
which
we
manage
it,”（我相信如果我们在人工智能日益强大的力量和我们管理人工智能的日益增长的智慧两者之间的竞争中获胜，我们可以用人工智能创造一个鼓舞人心的未来。）可推知，Max
Tegmark认为人类必须跟上人工智能日益增长的步伐。故选D项。
C
Scientists
say
they
have
discovered
an
earthquake-like
event
that
can
happen
during
a
hurricane
or
other
powerful
ocean
storms.
They
are
calling
it
a
“stormquake”.
Researchers
came
up
with
this
name
after
studying
events
connected
with
or
caused
by
earthquakes
on
the
sea
floor
during
such
storms.
They
found
that
the
shaking
can
feel
as
strong
as
a
magnitude
3.5
earthquake.
Intense
energy
from
hurricanes
and
other
severe
storms
can
create
very
large
waves
in
the
ocean.
These
waves
then
“interact”
in
some
places
with
solid
earth
under
the
sea
to
cause
“intense
seismic
source
activity,”
said
the
leader
researcher
Fan,
a
seismologist
and
professor
at
Florida
State
University.
“We
can
have
seismic
sources
in
the
ocean
just
like
earthquakes
within
the
hard
outer
layer
of
the
Earth,”
he
added.
“The
exciting
part
is
seismic
sources
caused
by
hurricanes
can
last
for
hours
or
even
days.”
The
researchers
found
evidence
of
more
than
10,000
stormquakes
in
coastal
areas
of
the
United
States
and
Canada.
Stormquakes
were
found
to
have
happened
around
continental
shelves
or
sea
floors
containing
flat
land
and
at
lower
depths,
the
research
showed.
Even
with
evidence
of
so
many
stromquakes
happening,
it
was
not
known
until
recently
that
such
events
even
existed.
This
is
mainly
because
scientists
studying
earthquakes
have
generally
considered
ocean-caused
seismic
waves
as
“background
noise”.
The
research
found
that
major
U.S.
hurricanes
had
produced
a
lot
of
stormquakes.
One
example
was
Hurricane
Bill
in
2009
in
the
Atlantic
Ocean,
which
caused
about
300
stormquakes
as
it
moved
north,
past
New
Jersey.
Other
examples
of
stormquakes
were
Hurricane
Ike
in
2008
and
Hurricane
Irene
in
2011.
But
the
study
found
no
evidence
of
stormquakes
off
the
coast
of
Mexico.
Also,
no
such
activity
was
recorded
in
areas
along
the
U.S.
East
Coast,
starting
in
New
Jersey,
and
continuing
all
the
way
down
to
Georgia.
The
team
noted
that
even
Hurricane
Sandy,
one
of
the
most
costly
storms
in
U.S.
history,
did
not
cause
a
single
stormquake.
Fan
says
this
suggests
that
stormquakes
are
strongly
influenced
by
the
physical
shape
of
the
seafloor’s
surface
and
seafloor
conditions.
Fan
added
that
there
are
still
“lots
of
unknowns”
about
stormquakes.
But
he
said
discovering
them
“suggests
we
are
reaching
a
new
level
of
understanding
of
seismic
waves”.
He
hopes
the
discovery
will
lead
to
improved
study
methods
for
hurricanes,
which
in
the
past
have
mainly
been
observed
from
satellites
in
the
sky.
“Now
we
are
able
to
understand
the
phenomenon
—
or
at
least
track
part
of
its
passage
—
through
the
solid
earth
as
well,”
he
said.
28.
What
is
the
distinctive
feature
of
a
stormquake?
A.
Being
seasonal.
B.
Being
destructive.
C.
Being
long-lasting.
D.
Being
interactive.
29.
Why
were
stormquakes
unknown
to
science
previously?
A.
Because
they
were
extremely
rare
on
the
Earth.
B.
Because
they
were
once
neglected
by
scientists.
C.
Because
they
generally
happen
in
deep
sea
floors.
D.
Because
they
are
quite
similar
to
common
earthquakes.
30.
What
message
is
conveyed
in
Paragraph
4?
A.
All
hurricanes
don’t
bring
about
stormquakes.
B.
Stormquakes
happen
more
along
the
East
Coast.
C.
Stronger
hurricanes
tend
to
produce
stormquakes.
D.
The
sea
floor’s
condition
changes
in
stormquakes.
31.
What
is
the
significance
of
the
discovery?
A.
Offering
an
alternative
angle
to
research
hurricanes.
B.
Helping
to
predict
an
earthquake
more
accurately.
C.
Suggesting
the
richness
of
the
seismic
wave
field.
D.
Preventing
potential
hurricanes
and
lessening
losses.

这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似地震的自然现象——“风暴地震”，介绍了其形成过程、特点和影响其形成的条件，这一发现有助于改进飓风研究方法。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The
exciting
part
is
seismic
sources
caused
by
hurricanes
can
last
for
hours
or
even
days.(令人兴奋的部分是，飓风造成的震源会持续数小时甚至数天)”可知，风暴地震的显著特征是持续时间长。故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even
with
evidence
of
so
many
stromquakes
happening,
it
was
not
known
until
recently
that
such

This
is
mainly
because
scientists
studying
earthquakes

generally
considered
ocean-caused
seismic
waves
as
‘background

即使有证据表明发生了如此多的大地震，但直到最近人们才知道这些地震的存在。这主要是因为研究地震的科学家通常认为海洋地震波是‘背景噪音’)”可知，以前的科学对风暴地震一无所知，是因为他们曾经被科学家忽视过。故选B。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“The

D
The
most
intuitive
argument
against
immigration
we
come
across
is
that
immigrants
are
causing
higher
unemployment
rate
or
lower
wages
for
low-skilled
workers
within
the
nation,
which
is
probably
not
true
in
the
US.
Statistics
show
that
in
the
US,
wages
and
unemployment
rate
are
rarely
affected
for
the
reason
that
immigrants
move
more
flexibly
for
jobs
than
local
workers.
Immigration
boosts
economy
by
driving
up
both
demand
and
supply.
Official
data
show
that
immigrants
have
a
far
more
diverse
composition
than
the
native-born.
They
have
a
higher
percentage
of
doctoral
degree
owners
while
also
a
higher
percentage
of
worse-educated.
The
effect
is
that
companies
actually
adjust
to
the
change
in
job
market
in
the
long-run
and
figure
out
their
way
to
deal
with
a
mix
of
workers
with
different
skills
and
levels,
which
at
the
end
of
the
day
fits
them
into
different
jobs.
For
those
who
have
a
bachelor
or
a
doctoral
degree,
they
are
the
driving
engines
whose
innovation
largely
boosts
the
US
economy.
Immigrants
to
the
United
States
tend
to
generate
more
patentable
technologies
than
natives:
though
they
constitute
only
18
percent
of
the
25
and
older
workforce,
immigrants
obtain
28
percent
of
high-quality
patents.
Immigrants
are
also
more
likely
to
become
Nobel
winners
in
physics,
chemistry,
and
physiology
or
medicine.
These
innovations
can
increase
productivity
and
job
supplies
in
the
long
run.
For
those
badly-educated,
even
though
they
did
cause
a
negative
impact
to
net
financial
contribution
to
the
US
government,
the
impact
is
rather
small
compared
to
those
undereducated
native
people.
It
is
because
as
immigrants
who
come
to
seek
for
a
change
for
their
life,
it
is
more
likely
for
them
to
take
a
job
rather
than
accepting
the
basic
living
standard
provided
by
government
subsidy
like
those
desperate
native-born
Americans
who
have
lost
faith
in
the
so-called
“American
Dream”.
In
the
long
run,
it
eases
the
burden
of
government
and
brings
in
more
tax
income.
In
this
sense,
their
stable
income
also
brings
about
more
domestic
demand
in
the
US.
All
in
all,
immigrants
are
actually
beneficial
for
the
US
economy,
largely
owing
to
the
values
created
by
those
highly-educated.
The
expulsions
of
unauthorized
immigrants
may
bring
about
negative
impact
to
the
economy.
32.
Why
does
the
author
write
this
passage?
A.
To
appeal
to
more
foreigners
to
immigrate
to
America.
B.
To
urge
the
US
to
treat
unauthorized
immigrants
equally.
C.
To
confirm
what’s
long
been
believed
about
immigration.
D.
To
argue
for
the
positive
economic
effects
of
immigration.
33.
How
are
immigrants
different
from
the
natives?
A.
They
contribute
less
to
government
finances.
B.
They
have
less
access
to
government
subsidy.
C.
They’re
more
confident
of
the
American
Dream.
D.
They’re
more
likely
to
go
where
jobs
are
available.
34.
What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A.
Companies
are
more
willing
to
employ
immigrants.
B.
Immigrants
are
more
adaptable
than
native
Americans.
C.
Most
Americans
with
a
doctor’s
degree
are
immigrants.
D.
Immigration
creates
more
job
opportunities
for
America.
35.
How
is

A.
By
listing
specific

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。
A
popular
Yale
University
psychology
course
now
available
for
free
online.
I
decided
to
see
what
it
was
all
about.
___36___
After
taking
the
course,
I’m
convinced
that
anyone
who
adopts
and
practices
the
strategies
provided
can
truly
become
happier.
Reconnecting
with
a
friend
can
boost
happiness,
but
so
can
a
meaningful
encounter
with
a
stranger.
One
of
the
most
complex
things
we
can
engage
with
is
another
person’s
mind.
___37___In
fact,
many
studies
have
found
that
the
more
you
use
social
media,
the
less
happy
you
are.
This
is
because
social
media—especially
picture-heavy
platforms—present
things
others
have
that
you
don’t,
making
you
want
more
and
appreciate
less.
___38___However,
varying
your
approach
is
key.
If
you
perform
the
same
act
of
kindness
over
and
over,
it
may
begin
to
feel
like
an
obligation
or
a
boring
task.
The
reactions
you
got
made
you
feel
better
about
yourselves.
Kindness
brings
other
happiness
benefits,
too.
Helping
others
takes
the
focus
away
from
our
own
worries
and
problems,
which
can
boost
happiness.
And
being
generous
won’t

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要分享了作者在网上学习了耶鲁大学流行的心理学课程后，了解到的一些能让人变得更快乐的建议。
【36题详解】
根据上文“A
popular
Yale
University
psychology
course
now
available
for
free
online.
I
decided
to
see
what
it
was
all
about.(耶鲁大学流行的心理学课程现在可以在网上免费学习。我决定去看看到底是怎么回事)”以及后文“After
taking
the
course,
I’m
convinced
that
anyone
who
adopts
and
practices
the
strategies
provided
can
truly
become
happier.(在上了这门课之后，我相信任何采纳并实践这些策略的人都能真正变得更快乐)”可推知，本句承接上文说明作者决定去网上学习心理学课程的原因。故E选项“毕竟，多年来我一直在写关于幸福的文章”符合语境，故选E。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Reconnecting
with
a
friend
can
boost
happiness,
but
so
can
a
meaningful
encounter
with
a
stranger.
One
of
the
most
complex
things
we
can
engage
with
is
another
person’s
mind.(和朋友重新联系会增加幸福感，和陌生人有意义的接触也会增加幸福感。我们能接触到的最复杂的事情之一就是另一个人的思想)”以及后文“In
fact,
many
studies
have
found
that
the
more
you
use
social
media,
the
less
happy
you
are.
This
is
because
social
media—especially
picture-heavy
platforms—present
things
others
have
that
you
don’t,
making
you
want
more
and
appreciate
less.(事实上，许多研究发现，你使用社交媒体越多，你就越不快乐。这是因为社交媒体——尤其是图片丰富的平台——展示了别人拥有而你没有的东西，让你想要的更多，感激的更少)”可知，上文提到要和人接触会增加幸福感，后文则提到了社交媒体对人的负面影响，可推知本句是在说明接触网友并不算是与人接触。故F选项“网友不算”符合语境，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据后文“However,
varying
your
approach
is
key.
If
you
perform
the
same
act
of
kindness
over
and
over,
it
may
begin
to
feel
like
an
obligation
or
a
boring
task.
The
reactions
you
got
made
you
feel
better
about
yourselves.
Kindness
brings
other
happiness
benefits,
too.
Helping
others
takes
the
focus
away
from
our
own
worries
and
problems,
which
can
boost
happiness.
And
being
generous
won’t
increase
levels
of
the
stress
hormone
cortisol.
Perhaps
surprisingly,
kindness
improves
overall
physical
health.(然而，改变你的方法是关键。如果你一遍又一遍地做同样的善事，你可能开始的时候回觉得这是一种义务或一项无聊的任务。你得到的反应让你对自己感觉更好。善良还能带来其他的快乐。帮助别人可以把我们的注意力从自己的烦恼和问题上转移开，这可以增加幸福感。慷慨不会增加压力荷尔蒙皮质醇的水平。也许令人惊讶的是，善良能改善整体的身体健康)”可知，本段主要说明的是帮助别人能使人快乐，后文中Helping
others可与B选项中help
someone相对应。故B选项“志愿帮助别人比做以自我为中心的事情更能让你快乐”符合语境，故选B。
【39题详解】
根据上文“Taking
exercise
causes
hormonal
changes
in
the
body
that
make
you
feel
good
and
help
interrupt
negative
thoughts.
Clinically
depressed
people
who
exercised
regularly
improved
just
as
much
as
those
who
took
antidepressants.(锻炼身体会引起体内荷尔蒙的变化，这会让你感觉良好，并有助于打断消极的想法。定期锻炼的临床抑郁症患者与服用抗抑郁药的患者的改善效果一样好)”以及后文“But
anecdotally,
most
people
who
exercise
will
tell
you
they
feel
better.(但有趣的是，大多数锻炼的人会告诉你他们感觉好多了)”可知，本段主要说明的是锻炼身体可以让人感觉良好，并且摆脱抑郁，上文中depressed
people可与G选项中depression相对应。故G选项“摆脱抑郁并不等同于快乐”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“Shortchanging
your
sleep
can
make
you
bad-tempered.(睡眠不足会让你脾气暴躁)”可知，上文提到睡眠不足会导致脾气暴躁，那么反过来，充足的睡眠可以改善你的情绪。故C选项“充足的睡眠可以改善你的情绪”符合语境，故选C。

When

Mushaw
joined

three
years

he
never

About
six
months
after
the

Mushaw
did
get
a
call
that
his
bone
marrow
___41___
a
patient
in
Virginia.
Mushaw
didn’t
know
it
at

Eleanor.
Neither

___42___.

___43___

the
hospital
or
the
doctor.
Her
immune
system
was
far
too
weak
to

even
the

human
contact.
Her
mother,
Jessica,
told
NBC,
“The
___45___
were
to
either
get
a
transplant
or
face
death.”
Still,
there
was
no
___46___
of

Instead,
after
a
few

the

came
back
with
___47___
news:
Eleanor’s
condition
hadn’t
just
improved
—
Mushaw’s
bone
marrow
had
___48___
her.
Mushaw
says:
it
was
more
of
a
___49___
and
happy
feeling
than
anything.
About
six
months
after
the
procedure,
Eleanor’s
parents
sent
him
an
e-mail
to
thank
him
for
saving
her
life.
“When
I
was
told
it
was

Mushaw
says.
But

was

Mushaw
and
Eleanor
FaceTime
____52____
to
check
on
her
progress.
In
August,
about
a
year
after
Eleanor’s
____53____
transplant,
Mushaw
invited
her
family
to
one
of
his
games.
Tiny
shouts
of
“Mike!
Mike!”
could
be
heard
as
the
little
girl
cheered
on
her

hero:
a
six-foot-two,
225-pound
football
player
with
a

heart.
In

Mushaw
____55____

the

of

it.
A

a

was

‘alien

He
said
“it

not
something
that
I

【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在深造之前休学一年来获得对以后生活有帮助的技能，介绍了在这期间可以从事的一些有益的活动，以及人们对此的看法。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在你继续深造之前休学一年并不是一个新概念，这一概念如今的重点是充分利用学术生活中的这段时间。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰先行词concept，且先行词在从句中作主语，指物，故应用关系代词which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意：虽然这也是一种选择，但空档年更多是为了获得对以后生活有帮助的技能。根据后文“in
later
life”可知表示将来的动作应用一般将来时。故填will
help。
【58题详解】
考查动词时态语态。句意：做一些有成效的事情正是学生们被鼓励去做的，因为做一些更有目的性的事情，比如工作经验或慈善工作，可以帮助他们获得在大学竞争中要用到技能。根据上文is可知为一般现在时，且从句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，故应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语为students，谓语动词用复数。故填are
encouraged。
【59题详解】
考查省略句。句意：做一些有成效的事情正是学生们被鼓励去做的，因为做一些更有目的性的事情，比如工作经验或慈善工作，可以帮助他们获得在大学竞争中要用到的技能。when引导状语从句时，常省略和主句相同的主语和从句中的be动词，结合语境从句为现在进行时，从句完整为when(students
are)
competing
for
a
place
at
university。故填competing。
【60题详解】
考查介词。句意：尽管休空档年有其好处，一些学生担心他们负担不起。结合句意表示“尽管”应用介词despite，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Despite。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意：一位名叫汤姆的学生告诉BBC，对他来说，空档年是一个“陌生的概念”。concept是可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且alien是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an。
【62题详解】
考查形容词。句意：你不需要去很远的地方，你甚至可以通过做有偿工作来赚钱。修饰后文work，表示“有偿的”应用形容词paid，作定语。故填paid。
【63题详解】
考查名词。句意：对于那些有资金的人来说，工作、志愿服务和旅行的结合无疑是一个惊人的机会。根据上文冠词a可知应填单数名词combination，作主语。故填combination。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意：对于那些有资金的人来说，工作、志愿服务和旅行的结合无疑是一个惊人的机会。修饰句子应用副词undoubtedly。故填undoubtedly。
【65题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意：它增加了你的自信和独立性，为你提供了一个学习新手艺的机会，并给你时间来思考大学是否适合你。此处为宾语从句，从句中不缺少成分，表示“是否”应用whether。故填whether。

【答案】Dear
Helen,
I’m
writing
to
ask
for
your
advice
on
my
English
study.
Our
new
writing
task,
called
“continuation
writing”,
requires
us
to
write
a
reasonable
ending
to
an
incomplete
story
we’re
given.
Obviously,
this
is
a
very
open-ended
task
with
multiple
possibilities.
While
I
enjoy
the
creativity
of
this
task,
I
find
it
challenging
to
identify
the
plot
points
of
interest

“Once
there
was
a
ship
travelling
on
the
tough
sea
and
on
the
ship
there
was
a
pair
of
couple.
All
of
a
sudden,
the
ship
met
with
an
accident
and
the
couple
had
no
choice
but
to
run
to
the
life
boat
without
delay.
After
reaching
there,
they
realized
that
there
was
space
only
for
one
person.
At
that
very
moment,
the
husband
pushed
his
wife
behind
him
and
jumped
onto
the
lifeboat
himself,
leaving
his
wife
standing
on
the
sinking
ship,
shouting
something
desperately
to
her
husband
eyes
filled
with
tears.”
The
teacher
stopped
her
story-telling
and
asked
her
students,
“Guys,
guess
what
it
was
that
she
shouted.”
Most
students
answered.
“I
hate
you!”
After
listening
to
all
this
reply,
the
teacher
glanced
through
the
whole
class
again
and
noticed
that
there
was
a
boy
sitting
silently
throughout.
Then
she
asked
him
the
same
question.
The
boy
answered,
“I
believe
she
would
have
shouted-Take
care
of
our
child.”
Listening
to
his
remarks,
the
teacher
was
surprised
and
asked
the
boy
doubtfully.
“Have
you
heard
of
this
story
before?”
Shaking
his
head,
the
boy
said
softly
and
sadly,
“No,
I
haven’t.
But
that’s
what
my
mother
said
to
my
father
before
she
died
of
a
deadly
disease.”
Moved
and
feeling
sad,
the
teacher
replied.
“Your
answer
is
absolutely
right!”
Then
she
continued,
“Let’s
take
up
the
story.
The
ship
sank
eventually
and
the
husband
went
home
and
brought
up
their
daughter
alone.
Many
years
later
after
the
death
of
the
man,
their
daughter
was
tidying
up
all
his
belongings
when
she
found
his
diary.
In
his
diary
she
found
that
when
her
parents
were
on
the
ship,
her
mother
had
already
been
diagnosed
(诊断)
with
advanced
illness
and
at
the
critical
moment,
the
father
rushed
to
the
only

【答案】One
possible
version:
In
his
diary,
the
man
mentioned
he
wished
to
sink
to
the
ocean
with
his
wife
but
for
their
daughter
he
had
to
live.
Without
him,
their
baby
daughter
would
become
an
orphan.
After
drowning
himself
in
sorrow
for
a
short
time,
he
uplifted
himself
and
learned
how
to
raise
baby.
Whenever
faced
with
hardships,
he
would
inspire
himself
with
his
wife’
words—“Take
care
of
our
child.”
Seeing
the
little
girl
grow
into
a
sunny,
pretty
girl
with
double
love
from
both
parents,
the
man
knew
he
made
it
to
keep
his
promise.
The
story
was
finished
and
the
class
was
silent.
Nobody
talked
or
laughed
as
usual.
Instead,
it
seemed
that
every
student
was
lost
in
deep
thought,
tasting
the
moving
life
story.
The
teacher
was
sure
that
the
students
were
reflecting
on
their
replies
and
that
they
had
understood
the
moral
of
the
story.
Of
the
Good
and
Evil
in
this
world,
there
are
hidden
secrets
behind
them.
So
we
should
not
really
focus
on
the
surface
and
judge
anyone
without
understanding
them
first.
Put
yourself
in
others’
shoes
and
then
you
can
really
understand
their
behavior.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇读后续写作文。通过阅读所给文章可知，文章主要讲述了老师在课堂上给学生们讲了一个故事：故事的大致内容是一对夫妇在海上遇到事故，但是救生艇只能容纳一个人，最后，丈夫推着身后的妻子，自己跳上了救生艇，留下妻子站在正在下沉的船上，绝望地对着丈夫喊着什么。老师让学生猜想妻子说了什么，大多数学生的回答是“我恨你！”，但是一位学生却回答说妻子让丈夫照顾好孩子。老师继续说故事，多年以后，他们的女儿在整理遗物时发现了父亲的日记，原来母亲已经被诊断出病情严重，在关键时刻，父亲冲向了唯一的生存机会。
【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：在他的日记中，他提到他希望和妻子一起沉入大海，但为了他们的女儿，他必须活下去。接下来可以写没有他，他们的宝贝女儿会变成孤儿。在短暂的悲伤之后，他提升了自己，学会了如何抚养孩子。每当遇到困难时，他都会用妻子的话激励自己——“照顾好我们的孩子。”看着小女孩成长为一个阳光明媚、漂亮可爱、受到父母双爱的女孩，这个男人知道他这样做是为了履行自己的诺言。第二段的开头是：故事讲完了，全班安静下来。接下来可以写没有人像往常一样说话或大笑。相反，每个学生似乎都陷入了沉思，品味着动人的人生故事。老师确信学生们正在反思他们的回答，并且他们已经理解了这个故事的寓意。这个世界上的善与恶，背后都隐藏着秘密。所以我们不应该只关注表面，在不了解任何人之前就对他们进行评判。设身处地为别人着想，你就能真正理解他们的行为。
【点睛】续写内容得当，使用了固定短语和高分句型。如：be
faced
with；take
care
of；make
it；keep
one’s
promise；reflect
on；focus
on；put

Imagine
that
you’ve
got
a
robot
that
looks
like
a
human,
talks
like
a
human,
and
even
interacts
like
a
human.
Although
you
know
it’s
just
a
machine,
you
can
relate
to
it.
But
would
you
consider
it
as
a
friend?
This
is
just
one
of
the
questions
that
you
may
find
difficult
to
answer.
Sooner
or
later
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
will
bring
many
moral
challenges.
But
AI
is
here
to
stay
and
will
have
a
big
impact
on
our
future.
As
Li
Fei-Fei,
professor
of
computer
science
at
Stanford
University
put
it,
“If
our
era
is
the
next
industrial
revolution,
as
many
claim,
AI
is
surely
one
of
its
major
driving
forces.”
Merriam-Webster
defines
AI
as
“the
capability
of
a
machine
to
copy
intelligent
human
behavior”.
But
what
makes
us
want
to
create
“thinking
machines”?
After
all,
thinking
and
consciousness
are
inimitable
things
of
human
beings
–
at
least
at
present.
They
separate
us
from
all
other
creatures
on
Earth.
For
one
thing,
humans
constantly
desire
to
develop
new
technology
just
because
they
can.
The
desire
to
create
AI
is
the
ultimate
expression
of
this:
We
want
to
test
the
limit
of
human
intelligence
by
building
a
brand
new
intelligence.
For
another,
AI
has
all
sorts
of
practical
benefits
to
offer
us.
It
would
free
us
from
repetitive
work
and
make
our
lives
easier.
Imagine
getting
to
your
destination
with
an
AI-guided
self-driving
car.
Imagine
having
an
AI
tutor
that
could
help
you
with
your
homework.
However,
as
AI
becomes
more
important
in
life
the
worries
will
begin.
Will
AI
effectively
start
to
take
over
us?
Today,
with
online
shopping
sites
and
social
networking
platforms,
AI
already
influences
many
of
our
choices.
Algorithms
(算法)
determine
the
content
we
see
on
the
Internet,
and
make
recommendations
about
everything
from
what
we
watch
on
TV
to
where
we
travel.
Some
fear
that
machines
will
become
better
at
making
decisions
than
humans
are,
and
that
therefore
we
will
lose
our
control
of
AI.
But
it’s
not
all
doom
and
gloom(前景黯淡).
Max
Tegmark,
author
of
Life
3.0:
Being
Human
in
the
Age
of
Artificial
Intelligence,
believes
that
with
careful
planning,
AI
can
become
a
powerful
tool.
“I’m
optimistic
that
we
can
create
an
inspiring
future
with
AI
if
we
win
the
race
between
the
growing
power
of
AI
and
the
growing
wisdom
with
which
we
manage
it,”
he
told
Motherboard.
But
like
it
or
not,
AI
is
shaping
the
society
and
will
dramatically
change
the
way
we
live.

Scientists
say
they
have
discovered
an
earthquake-like
event
that
can
happen
during
a
hurricane
or
other
powerful
ocean
storms.
They
are
calling
it
a
“stormquake”.
Researchers
came
up
with
this
name
after
studying
events
connected
with
or
caused
by
earthquakes
on
the
sea
floor
during
such
storms.
They
found
that
the
shaking
can
feel
as
strong
as
a
magnitude
3.5
earthquake.
Intense
energy
from
hurricanes
and
other
severe
storms
can
create
very
large
waves
in
the
ocean.
These
waves
then
“interact”
in
some
places
with
solid
earth
under
the
sea
to
cause
“intense
seismic
source
activity,”
said
the
leader
researcher
Fan,
a
seismologist
and
professor
at
Florida
State
University.
“We
can
have
seismic
sources
in
the
ocean
just
like
earthquakes
within
the
hard
outer
layer
of
the
Earth,”
he
added.
“The
exciting
part
is
seismic
sources
caused
by
hurricanes
can
last
for
hours
or
even
days.”
The
researchers
found
evidence
of
more
than
10,000
stormquakes
in
coastal
areas
of
the
United
States
and
Canada.
Stormquakes
were
found
to
have
happened
around
continental
shelves
or
sea
floors
containing
flat
land
and
at
lower
depths,
the
research
showed.
Even
with
evidence
of
so
many
stromquakes
happening,
it
was
not
known
until
recently
that
such
events
even
existed.
This
is
mainly
because
scientists
studying
earthquakes
have
generally
considered
ocean-caused
seismic
waves
as
“background
noise”.
The
research
found
that
major
U.S.
hurricanes
had
produced
a
lot
of
stormquakes.
One
example
was
Hurricane
Bill
in
2009
in
the
Atlantic
Ocean,
which
caused
about
300
stormquakes
as
it
moved
north,
past
New
Jersey.
Other
examples
of
stormquakes
were
Hurricane
Ike
in
2008
and
Hurricane
Irene
in
2011.
But
the
study
found
no
evidence
of
stormquakes
off
the
coast
of
Mexico.
Also,
no
such
activity
was
recorded
in
areas
along
the
U.S.
East
Coast,
starting
in
New
Jersey,
and
continuing
all
the
way
down
to
Georgia.
The
team
noted
that
even
Hurricane
Sandy,
one
of
the
most
costly
storms
in
U.S.
history,
did
not
cause
a
single
stormquake.
Fan
says
this
suggests
that
stormquakes
are
strongly
influenced
by
the
physical
shape
of
the
seafloor’s
surface
and
seafloor
conditions.
Fan
added
that
there
are
still
“lots
of
unknowns”
about
stormquakes.
But
he
said
discovering
them
“suggests
we
are
reaching
a
new
level
of
understanding
of
seismic
waves”.
He
hopes
the
discovery
will
lead
to
improved
study
methods
for
hurricanes,
which
in
the
past
have
mainly
been
observed
from
satellites
in
the
sky.
“Now
we
are
able
to
understand
the
phenomenon
—
or
at
least
track
part
of
its
passage
—
through
the
solid
earth
as
well,”
he
said.
28.
What
is
the
distinctive
feature
of
a
stormquake?
A.
Being
seasonal.
B.
Being
destructive.
C.
Being
long-lasting.
D.
Being
interactive.
29.
Why
were
stormquakes
unknown
to
science
previously?
A.
Because
they
were
extremely
rare
on
the
Earth.
B
Because
they
were
once
neglected
by
scientists.
C.
Because
they
generally
happen
in
deep
sea
floors.
D.
Because
they
are
quite
similar
to
common
earthquakes.
30.
What
message
is
conveyed
in
Paragraph
4?
A.
All
hurricanes
don’t
bring
about
stormquakes.
B.
Stormquakes
happen
more
along
the
East
Coast.
C.
Stronger
hurricanes
tend
to
produce
stormquakes.
D.
The
sea
floor’s
condition
changes
in
stormquakes.
31.
What
is
the
significance
of
the
discovery?
A.
Offering
an
alternative
angle
to
research
hurricanes.
B.
Helping
to
predict
an
earthquake
more
accurately.
C.
Suggesting
the
richness
of
the
seismic
wave
field.
D.
Preventing
potential
hurricanes
and
lessening
losses.
D
The
most
intuitive
argument
against
immigration
we
come
across
is
that
immigrants
are
causing
higher
unemployment
rate
or
lower
wages
for
low-skilled
workers
within
the
nation
which
is
probably
not
true
in
the
US.
Statistics
show
that
in
the
US,
wages
and
unemployment
rate
are
rarely
affected
for
the
reason
that
immigrants
move
more
flexibly
for
jobs
than
local
workers.
Immigration
boosts
economy
by
driving
up
both
demand
and
supply.
Official
data
show
that
immigrants
have
a
far
more
diverse
composition
than
the
native-born.
They
have
a
higher
percentage
of
doctoral
degree
owners
while
also
a
higher
percentage
of
worse-educated.
The
effect
is
that
companies
actually
adjust
to
the
change
in
job
market
in
the
long-run
and
figure
out
their
way
to
deal
with
a
mix
of
workers
with
different
skills
and
levels,
which
at
the
end
of
the
day
fits
them
into
different
jobs.
For
those
who
have
a
bachelor
or
a
doctoral
degree,
they
are
the
driving
engines
whose
innovation
largely
boosts
the
US
economy.
Immigrants
to
the
United
States
tend
to
generate
more
patentable
technologies
than
natives:
though
they
constitute
only
18
percent
of
the
25
and
older
workforce,
immigrants
obtain
28
percent
of
high-quality
patents.
Immigrants
are
also
more
likely
to
become
Nobel
winners
in
physics,
chemistry,
and
physiology
or
medicine.
These
innovations
can
increase
productivity
and
job
supplies
in
the
long
run.
For
those
badly-educated,
even
though
they
did
cause
a
negative
impact
to
net
financial
contribution
to
the
US
government,
the
impact
is
rather
small
compared
to
those
undereducated
native
people.
It
is
because
as
immigrants
who
come
to
seek
for
a
change
for
their
life,
it
is
more
likely
for
them
to
take
a
job
rather
than
accepting
the
basic
living
standard
provided
by
government
subsidy
like
those
desperate
native-born
Americans
who
have
lost
faith
in
the
so-called
“American
Dream”.
In
the
long
run,
it
eases
the
burden
of
government
and
brings
in
more
tax
income.
In
this
sense,
their
stable
income
also
brings
about
more
domestic
demand
in
the
US.
All
in
all,
immigrants
are
actually
beneficial
for
the
US
economy,
largely
owing
to
the
values
created
by
those
highly-educated.
The
expulsions
of
unauthorized
immigrants
may
bring
about
negative
impact
to
the
economy.
32.
Why
does
the
author
write
this
passage?
A.
To
appeal
to
more
foreigners
to
immigrate
to
America.
B.
To
urge
the
US
to
treat
unauthorized
immigrants
equally.
C.
To
confirm
what’s
long
been
believed
about
immigration.
D.
To
argue
for
the
positive
economic
effects
of
immigration.
33.
How
are
immigrants
different
from
the
natives?
A.
They
contribute
less
to
government
finances.
B.
They
have
less
access
to
government
subsidy.
C.
They’re
more
confident
of
the
American
Dream.
D.
They’re
more
likely
to
go
where
jobs
are
available.
34.
What
can
we
learn
from
the
passage?
A.
Companies
are
more
willing
to
employ
immigrants.
B.
Immigrants
are
more
adaptable
than
native
Americans.
C.
Most
Americans
with
a
doctor’s
degree
are
immigrants.
D.
Immigration
creates
more
job
opportunities
for
America.
35.
How
is
the
passage
mainly
developed?
A.
By
listing
specific
statistics.
B.
By
making
a
detailed
analysis.
C.
By
presenting
typical
examples.
D.
By
comparing
different
opinions.

A
popular
Yale
University
psychology
course
now
available
for
free
online.
I
decided
to
see
what
it
was
all
about.
___36___
After
taking
the
course,
I’m
convinced
that
anyone
who
adopts
and
practices
the
strategies
provided
can
truly
become
happier.
Reconnecting
with
a
friend
can
boost
happiness,
but
so
can
a
meaningful
encounter
with
a
stranger.
One
of
the
most
complex
things
we
can
engage
with
is
another
person’s
mind.
___37___In
fact,
many
studies
have
found
that
the
more
you
use
social
media,
the
less
happy
you
are.
This
is
because
social
media—especially
picture-heavy
platforms—present
things
others
have
that
you
don’t,
making
you
want
more
and
appreciate
less.
___38___However,
varying
your
approach
is
key.
If
you
perform
the
same
act
of
kindness
over
and
over,
it
may
begin
to
feel
like
an
obligation
or
a
boring
task.
The
reactions
you
got
made
you
feel
better
about
yourselves.
Kindness
brings
other
happiness
benefits,
too.
Helping
others
takes
the
focus
away
from
our
own
worries
and
problems,
which
can
boost
happiness.
And
being
generous
won’t
increase
levels
of
the
stress
hormone
cortisol.
Perhaps
surprisingly,
kindness
improves
overall
physical
health.
Taking
exercise
causes
hormonal
changes
in
the
body
that
make
you
feel
good
and
help
interrupt
negative
thoughts.
Clinically
depressed
people
who
exercised
regularly
improved
just
as
much
as
those
who
took
antidepressants.___39___But
anecdotally,
most
people
who
exercise
will
tell
you
they
feel
better.
Shortchanging
your
sleep
can
make
you
bad-tempered.___40___A
lot
of
people
know
that
sleep
is
good
but
some
are
forced
to
sacrifice
sleep
because
they
have
other
things
taking
up
their
time.
A.
I
was
curious
to
see
what
the
course
was
recommending.
B.
Volunteering
to
help
someone
can
make
you
happier
than
doing
self-centered
things.
C.
Getting
enough
shut-eye
can
boost
your
mood.
D
Ways
of
our
minds
trick
us
into
being
less
happy.
E.
After
all,
I’ve
been
writing
about
happiness
for
years.
F.
Online
friends
don’t
count.
G.
Getting
out
of
a
depression
is
not
exactly
the
same
as
happiness.

When
Mike
Mushaw
joined
the
national
bone
marrow
(骨髓)
registry
three
years
ago,
he
never
really
gave
it
a
second
thought.
About
six
months
after
the
sign-up,
Mushaw
did
get
a
call
that
his
bone
marrow
___41___
a
patient
in
Virginia.
Mushaw
didn’t
know
it
at
the
time
his
donation
would
go
to
a
five-month-old
girl
named
Eleanor.
Neither
did
he
know
whether
his
donation
would
___42___.
Eleanor,
sick
with
a
rare
immuno
deficiency
disease,
had
seldom
left
her
house
___43___
to
travel
to
the
hospital
or
the
doctor.
Her
immune
system
was
far
too
weak
to
risk
even
the
most
___44___
human
contact.
Her
mother,
Jessica,
told
NBC,
“The
___45___
were
to
either
get
a
transplant
or
face
death.”
Still,
there
was
no
___46___
of
success.
Instead,
after
a
few
weeks,
the
doctors
came
back
with
___47___
news:
Eleanor’s
condition
hadn’t
just
improved
—
Mushaw’s
bone
marrow
had
___48___
her.
Mushaw
says:
it
was
more
of
a
___49___
and
happy
feeling
than
anything.
About
six
months
after
the
procedure,
Eleanor’s
parents
sent
him
an
e-mail
to
thank
him
for
saving
her
life.
“When
I
was
told
it
was
a

girl,
I

Mushaw
says.
But
their
surprising
____51____
was
only
beginning.
Mushaw
and
Eleanor
FaceTime
____52____
to
check
on
her
progress.
In
August,
about
a
year
after
Eleanor’s
____53____
transplant,
Mushaw
invited
her
family
to
one
of
his
games.
Tiny
shouts
of

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。
Taking
a
gap
year
before
you
move
into
further
education
is
not
a
new
concept,
___56___
now
focuses
on
making
the
most
of
this
break
from
academic
life.
Long
gone
are
the
days
of
just
hanging
out
on
a
beach
or
backpacking
round
the
world.
While
that
is
still
an
option,
a
gap
year
is
now
more
about
gaining
skills
that
___57___
(help)
you
in
later
life.
Doing
something
productive
is
exactly
what
students
___58___(encourage)to
do
because
doing
more
purposeful
things
like
work
experience
or
charity
work
helps
them
acquire
skills
to
use
when
___59___
(compete)
for
a
place
at
university.
It
looks
good
on
their
CV
and
eventually
makes
them
more
employable.
___60___
the
benefits
of
taking
a
gap
year,
some
students
worry
they
can’t
afford
it.
A
student,
Tom,
told
the
BBC
that
to
him,
a
gap
year
was
___61___
‘alien
concept’.
He
said
“it
would
have
been
far
too
expensive
and
it's
not
something
that
I
would
have
been
able
to
rely
on
my
parents
or
family
members
for.”
But
some
experts
say
that
it
needn’t
burn
a
hole
in
your
pocket;
you
don’t
need
to
travel
far
and
you
can
even
earn
money
by
doing
___62___(pay)
work.
For
those
who
do
have
the
funds,
a
___63___
(combine)
of
working,
volunteering
and
travelling
is
___64___(doubt)
an
amazing
opportunity.
It
increases
confidence
and
independence,
offers
you
a
chance
to
learn
new
crafts,
and
gives
you
time
to
reflect
on
____65____
university
is

“Once
there
was
a
ship
travelling
on
the
tough
sea
and
on
the
ship
there
was
a
pair
of
couple.
All
of
a
sudden,
the
ship
met
with
an
accident
and
the
couple
had
no
choice
but
to
run
to
the
life
boat
without
delay.
After
reaching
there,
they
realized
that
there
was
space
only
for
one
person.
At
that
very
moment,
the
husband
pushed
his
wife
behind
him
and
jumped
onto
the
lifeboat
himself,
leaving
his
wife
standing
on
the
sinking
ship,
shouting
something
desperately
to
her
husband
eyes
filled
with
tears.”
The
teacher
stopped
her
story-telling
and
asked
her
students,
“Guys,
guess
what
it
was
that
she
shouted.”
Most
students
answered.
“I
hate
you!”
After
listening
to
all
this
reply,
the
teacher
glanced
through
the
whole
class
again
and
noticed
that
there
was
a
boy
sitting
silently
throughout.
Then
she
asked
him
the
same
question.
The
boy
answered,
“I
believe
she
would
have
shouted-Take
care
of
our
child.”
Listening
to
his
remarks,
the
teacher
was
surprised
and
asked
the
boy
doubtfully.
“Have
you
heard
of
this
story
before?”
Shaking
his
head,
the
boy
said
softly
and
sadly,
“No,
I
haven’t.
But
that’s
what
my
mother
said
to
my
father
before
she
died
of
a
deadly
disease.”
Moved
and
feeling
sad,
the
teacher
replied.
“Your
answer
is
absolutely
right!”
Then
she
continued,
“Let’s
take
up
the
story.
The
ship
sank
eventually
and
the
husband
went
home
and
brought
up
their
daughter
alone.
Many
years
later
after
the
death
of
the
man,
their
daughter
was
tidying
up
all
his
belongings
when
she
found
his
diary.
In
his
diary
she
found
that
when
her
parents
were
on
the
ship,
her
mother
had
already
been
diagnosed
(诊断)
with
advanced
illness
and
at
the
critical
moment,
the
father
rushed
to
the
only
chance
of
survival.”
