听第10段材料,回答第18至20题。
Hello,I’m
Jeff
Anderson
from
Coventry,England.And
in
today’s
program,I’d
like
to
share
with
you
a
special
kind
of
English
culture—the
football.A
lot
of
people
in
England
are
crazy
about
football.During
the
football
season
whenever
there
is
a
big
match,all
the
flags
for
local
football
teams,such
as
Liverpool
and
Newcastle,are
hung
outside
every
window,or
even
spread
proudly
on
T-shirts
or
scarves.There
is
an
atmosphere
of
excitement
in
the
air.Groups
of
young
men
crowd
into
dark,packed
pubs
staring
at
television
screens.Of
course
they
are
covered
head
to
toe
in
the
colours
of
their
team.They
shout
and
scream
in
sadness
when
their
team
loses
a
goal,or
with
joy
when
there
is
a
moment
of
success.You
do
not
have
to
be
a
fan
of
football
to
get
caught
up
in
the
excitement.As
far
as
victories
are
concerned,England
had
its
big
moment
in
1966
in
Wembley
Stadium.The
World
Cup
victory
is
in
the
hearts
and
minds
of
all
football
fans.Now,whenever
England
is
playing
a
big
match,red
and
white
covers
every
inch
of
every
pub,a
symbol
of
hope
—
the
English
flag.While
football
has
never
been
something
I
am
particularly
interested
in,for
years,I’ve
had
to
pretend
excitement
and
pick
a
team
to
support.You
cannot
say
you
don’t
like
or
do
not
follow
football
in
England,as
often
this
would
lead
to
a
long
dialogue
in
which
someone
would
begin
telling
you
why
you
should
support
their
team.
18.Where
do
young
men
go
to
watch
big
games
according
to
Jeff?
A.Pubs.
B.Stadiums.
C.Friends’
homes.
答案A
19.Why
does
Jeff
have
to
pick
a
team
to
support?
A.To
avoid
being
bothered.
B.To
open
a
conversation.
C.To
earn
respect
from
others.
答案A
20.What
does
Jeff
mainly
talk
about?
A.England’s
moment
of
success.
B.English
flag
as
a
symbol
of
hope.
C.England’s
all-time
favourite
sport.
答案C
第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Your
first
big-screen
experience
is
likely
to
have
been
Disney
productions—whether
we
are
talking
about
SnowWhiteandtheSevenDwarfs
or
Frozen—that
have
long
been
considered
safe,healthy
choices
for
kids,and
pictures
that
parents
can
feel
they
don’t
need
to
screen
in
advance.
When
you
are
a
big
person,a
movie
seen
in
a
theatre
is
much
larger
than
life;when
you’re
a
little
person,it
can
be
like
a
new
entry
opening
in
the
universe.Those
experiences
matter,and
Disney
knows
the
power—and
the
profit
potential—of
what’s
in
its
values,which
helps
explain
the
studio’s
ongoing
strategy
of
remaking
its
most
popular
animated
films,often
in
live-action
versions.
How
do
you
feel
about
directors’
interpretation
of
these
movies,a
combination
of
live-action
filmmaking
techniques,virtual-reality
methods
and
computer-generated
imaginary,depends
largely
on
how
you
feel
about
the
original.The
stories,even
with
a
gently
updated
script,are
roughly
the
same.If
you’ve
seen
the
original,you
know
how
the
rest
of
them
go.
In
the
following
years,we’ll
also
watch
other
Disney’s
remakes
such
as
Mulan.Any
children
raised
by
Disney
films
would
think
that
this
is
a
great
time
to
be
alive.Right?
But
judging
by
critics’
ratings
of
some
live-action
movies,it
seems
that
the
powerful
studio
has
been
unable
to
wow
audiences.
So
why
more
live
actions?
Themoney
Let’s
face
it:Walt
Disney
Pictures
is
all
about
generating
more
revenue(收入).Even
though
it
did
not
manage
to
capture
critics,it
still
managed
to
catch
the
audience’s
hearts.And
that
is
more
than
enough.After
all,films
are
not
made
to
entertain
critics;it’s
all
about
creating
an
ultimate
cinematic
experience
for
casual
moviegoers.And
as
long
as
they’re
entertained
with
new
interpretations
of
beloved
stories,why
stop
making
live-action
films?
Inclusion
When
you
spend
your
entire
childhood
dancing
and
singing
along
to
these
characters,it’s
beyond
magical
to
see
them
again
when
you’re
an
adult
and
are
the
same
age
as
them.That’s
one
of
the
few
magical
effects
of
movies.Not
to
mention,Aladdin’s
South
Asian
cast
is
also
a
strong
statement
for
the
world.Perhaps
this
is
also
the
reason
why
Disney
wants
Mulan
to
have
an
all
Asian
cast.Let’s
hope
they’re
not
the
only
ones
and
Disney
is
bringing
more
diverse
stories
to
be
told.
Nostalgia(怀旧)
All
of
these
Disney
remakes
are
designed
to
fuel
the
nostalgia
of
boomers,Gen
X-ers
and
millennials,and
many
of
the
moviegoers
who
grew
up
with
these
movies,in
particular,now
have
young
kids
of
their
own.Little
wonder
the
studio
is
seeing
big
dollar
signs
in
them.

the
author’s
opinion,what
could

live
actions?
A.It’s
trying

to
satisfy
both
critics
and
audience.

sparing
no
efforts
to
earn

diverse
stories.

loyal
aging
fans.
答案B

Fancy
your
own
satellite?Arizona
State
University
is
working
towards
making
this
a
reality
with
its
SunCube
FemtoSat
project.Smaller
than
a
standard
CubeSat,the
low-cost
student-designed
spacecraft
is
aimed
at
providing
greater
access
to
space
for
scientists
and
hobbyists
alike.
Assistant
professor
Jekan
Thanga
and
a
team
of
students
have
been
developing
the
SunCube
FemtoSat
for
the
past
two
years.The
small
3×3×3
cm
cube
weighs
in
at
just
35
g
and
a
longer
(3×3×9
cm,100
g)
model
has
also
been
designed,which
includes
storage
space.
Each
SunCube
FemtoSat
has
its
own
communication,data
collection
and
propulsion(推进)systems
and
is
powered
by
solar
panels.It
is
made
of
off-the-shelf
parts
that
are
available
in
shops,and
the
energy-efficient
solar
panels
are
cut
from
scrap(碎片),which
makes
it
save
energy,sold
at
a
discount
by
manufacturers.“With
a
spacecraft
of
this
size,any
university
can
do
it,”
says
Thanga.“That’s
part
of
our
major
goal—space
discovery
for
everybody.”
The
team
says
that
while
launching
your
own
satellite
would
usually
cost
between
US
$60,000-70,000
per
kilo,it
would
only
cost
$1,000
to
send
a
SunCube
FemtoSat
to
the
International
Space
Station,and
$3,000
to
send
it
into
low
earth
orbit.Leaving
the
earth’s
gravity
would
cost
an
estimated
$27,000.
The
FemtoSat
would
be
packed
with
a
“jack
in
the
box”
style
system
that
matches
standard
CubeSat
sizes
(around
10
cubic
cm),simplifying
the
process
of
getting
the
tiny
satellite
into
orbit.NASA
has
sent
30
CubeSats
into
space
over
the
last
few
years,with
another
50
awaiting
launch.
Thanga
and
his
staff
view
the
FemtoSat
as
a
starting
point
for
scientists
and
students,and
even
hope
the
device
could
be
bought
on
the
website
like
Amazon
one
day.Thanga
imagines
developing
four
main
applications
for
the
device,including
hands-on
testing
experiences
for
students,and
artificial
gravity
experiments.In
addition,groups
of
SunCube
FemtoSats
could
eventually
be
able
to
do
the
job
of
larger
spacecraft
at
a
vastly
discounted
cost.

C
China
is
developing
a
system
that
recognises
individuals
by
their
body
shape
and
walking
movements.Systems
that
recognise
human
faces
are
already
being
used
to
identify
people
in
crowds
or
as
a
secure
way
to
unlock
personal
devices.
The
new
system,known
as
“gait
recognition”,is
already
on
trial
by
police
on
the
streets
of
Beijing
and
Shanghai.The
Chinese
technology
company
Watrix
developed
the
system.The
company
announced
last
month
that
it
had
raised
$14.5
million
to
speed
up
the
development
and
sale
of
the
technology.
The
system
works
in
a
similar
way
to
face
recognition.Cameras
capture
video
of
people
in
public
places.Then,machines
powered
by
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
examine
and
study
the
video.
Facial
recognition
systems
identify
the
shapes
and
expressions
on
a
person’s
face
to
identify
them.Gait
recognition
uses
a
person’s
body
shape
and
their
way
of
walking
to
identify
them.The
system
records
a
person’s
shape
and
movements
and
then
creates
a
model
of
the
way
they
walk.
Huang
Yongzhen
is
a
former
researcher
who
co-founded
Watrix
in
2016.He
told
the
Associated
Press
his
system
can
identify
people
from
up
to
50
metres
away.It
is
designed
to
work
even
when
a
person’s
face
is
covered
or
hidden.Huang
says
his
gait
recognition
system
is
correct
94
percent
of
the
time.This
is
below
the
success
rate
of
many
face
recognition
systems.But
he
says
the
system
can
still
be
helpful
to
police
and
for
other
commercial
purposes.He
also
believes
the
system
can
be
effective
when
used
together
with
face
recognition.
Gait
recognition
is
not
new.The
technology
has
been
researched
by
scientists
in
Japan
and
Britain
and
by
U.S.
defense
officials
for
about
10
years.But
attempts
to
sell
the
technology
have
been
slow.One
of
the
reasons
the
technology
has
not
developed
further
is
that
the
systems
are
more
complex
than
facial
recognition.
【语篇解读】本文讲述了中国正在研发一款步态识别系统,该系统能通过体型和走路姿态来识别身份。

D
(2020·全国卷Ⅰ)
Returning
to
a
book
you’ve
read
many
times
can
feel
like
drinks
with
an
old
friend.There’s
a
welcome
familiarity—but
also
sometimes
a
slight
suspicion
that
time
has
changed
you
both,and
thus
the
relationship.But
books
don’t
change,people
do.And
that’s
what
makes
the
act
of
rereading
so
rich
and
transformative.
The
beauty
of
rereading
lies
in
the
idea
that
our
bond
with
the
work
is
based
on
our
present
mental
register.It’s
true,the
older
I
get,the
more
I
feel
time
has
wings.But
with
reading,it’s
all
about
the
present.It’s
about
the
now
and
what
one
contributes
to
the
now,because
reading
is
a
give
and
take
between
author
and
reader.Each
has
to
pull
their
own
weight.
There
are
three
books
I
reread
annually.The
first,which
I
take
to
reading
every
spring,is
Ernest
Hemingway’s
AMoveableFeast.Published
in
1964,it’s
his
classic
memoir
of
1920s
Paris.The
language
is
almost
intoxicating(令人陶醉的),an
aging
writer
looking
back
on
an
ambitious
yet
simpler
time.Another
is
Annie
Dillard’s
HolytheFirm,her
poetic
1975
ramble(随笔)
about
everything
and
nothing.The
third
book
is
Julio
Cortzar’s
SaveTwilight:SelectedPoems,because
poetry.And
because
Cortzar.
While
I
tend
to
buy
a
lot
of
books,these
three
were
given
to
me
as
gifts,which
might
add
to
the
meaning
I
attach
to
them.But
I
imagine
that,while
money
is
indeed
wonderful
and
necessary,rereading
an
author’s
work
is
the
highest
currency
a
reader
can
pay
them.The
best
books
are
the
ones
that
open
further
as
time
passes.But
remember,it’s
you
that
has
to
grow
and
read
and
reread
in
order
to
better
understand
your
friends.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇议论文。作者讲述了自己喜欢重读书籍的原因以及每年必重读的三本书的内容及其感悟。
32.Why
does
the
author
like
rereading?
A.It
evaluates
the
writer-reader
relationship.
B.It’s
a
window
to
a
whole
new
world.
C.It’s
a
substitute
for
drinking
with
a
friend.
D.It
extends
the
understanding
of
oneself.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“There’sawelcomefamiliarity—butalsosometimesaslightsuspicionthattimehaschangedyouboth,andthustherelationship.Butbooksdon’tchange,peopledo.”可知,重新阅读书会让你感觉到时间改变了自己。第二段的第一句表明重新阅读书籍的美妙之处在于我们与作品的关系基于我们当前的心理状态。由此可知,作者喜欢重读书的原因在于读书加深了他对自己的理解。
33.What
do
we
know
about
the
book
AMoveableFeast?
A.It’s
a
brief
account
of
a
trip.
B.It’s
about
Hemingway’s
life
as
a
young
man.
C.It’s
a
record
of
a
historic
event.
D.It’s
about
Hemingway’s
friends
in
Paris.
答案B
解析细节理解题。由文章第三段中的“...anagingwriterlookingbackonanambitiousyetsimplertime.”可知,AMoveableFeast是描写海明威早年生活的回忆录。故选B项。
34.What
does
the
underlined
word
“currency”
in
Paragraph
4
refer
to?
A.Debt.
B.Reward.
C.Allowance.
D.Face
value.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据上文的“whilemoneyisindeedwonderfulandnecessary,...”并结合下文的“areadercanpaythem”可知,该词的意思应该与“money”相关,此处的意思是“重读作者的书是给予他们最高的奖励(报酬)”。debt“债务”;reward“报酬,奖励,回报”;allowance“津贴,补贴”;facevalue“面值”。分析四个选项可知选B项。
35.What
can
we
infer
about
the
author
from
the
text?
A.He
loves
poetry.
B.He’s
an
editor.
C.He’s
very
ambitious.
D.He
teaches
reading.
答案A
解析推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“ThethirdbookisJulioCortzar’sSaveTwilight:SelectedPoems,becausepoetry.AndbecauseCortzar.”可知,作者最喜欢重读的第三本书籍是SaveTwilight:SelectedPoems,是一本诗选,且其中的两个because起到了强调作用。由此推测作者喜欢诗歌。故选A项。

In
order
to
make
the
introduction
to
robotics
as
simple
as
possible
for
many
people
I’ve
created
a
mobile
robot
kit
for
experimenters
called
ARobot.
ARobot
comes
in
kit(装备)
form. 36
This
allows
you
to
get
your
robot
working
in
a
couple
of
hours
instead
of
a
couple
of
months
or
more.?
37
One
of
the
first
things
you
get
to
do
is
decide
on
a
paint
job
for
your
new
robot.?
ARobot
uses
the
Basic
Stamp
Ⅱ
controller. 38
There
is
plenty
of
expansion
room
on
ARobot
and
an
entire
set
of
web
pages
that
show
you
how
to
attach
a
digital
compass,sonar
range
finder,light
sensors
and
other
devices
at
the
website.?
ARobot
is
designed
to
be
about
the
same
price
as
a
typical
“from
scratch”
robot
but
without
all
the
hassle(麻烦).You’ll
also
find
a
gallery
of
images
and
a
frequently-asked-questions
section.
ARobot
is
also
the
subject
of
“Robot
Building
for
Dummies”
where
the
reader
is
shown
how
to
add
a
temperature
sensor,motion
detector,video
camera,and
speech. 39 ?
I
hope
this
article
helps
you
without
sounding
like
a
commercial.I’ve
been
building
robots
ever
since
I
was
a
kid
and
I
love
helping
others
do
the
same. 40 ?
A.You
will
find
it
easy
to
make
a
robot.
B.I
am
sure
you’re
going
to
LOVE
ROBOTICS!
C.It
is
very
popular
and
very
easy
to
program.
D.In
this
way,you
can
get
the
robot
working
immediately.
E.However,the
circuit
board(电路板)
and
cables
are
pre-built
and
tested.
F.You
can
find
it
at
Amazon
and
at
most
bookstores.
G.ARobot
is
made
of
metal,not
plastic
or
wood
like
some
of
the
other
robots
out
there.

If
your
home
were
on
fire,what
would
you
try
to
save?Our
area
was
just
a
few
miles
from
the
largest
wildfire
in
Colorado’s
history.On
getting
the
call
to
evacuate(疏散),we
had
to
consider
what
we
couldn’t
live
without, 41
whatever
we
could
save
and
leaving
immediately.?
We 42
suitcases
with
necessary
clothes.We
took
the
43
we
worked
with.We
took
financial
records—who
wants
to
bother
himself
with
the
government
over
44
documents?Now,what
else?We
seized
the
valuable
family
45
from
the
walls,which
couldn’t
be
replaced.?
Then
we
took
a
hard
look
at
all
that
remained.A
lamp
that
belonged
to
my
great
grandmother.A 46
my
wife
learned
to
play
as
a
kid.A
large
tent
for
which
we
spent

47
money
for
camping.Bedroom

we
wanted
to
pass
down
to
our
48
some
day.The
gifts
that
decorated
our
house

our
treasured
friends.These
things
49
our
love
as
a
family
and
friends.It
was
50
to
move
everything
from
our
home.Looking
around
at
all
that
we
might
lose,I
found
it
difficult
to
say
goodbye.But
51 ,I
felt
warm.?
We
were 52
with
memories
as
we
53
at
these
items.Each
had
stories
to
tell
just
like
the
photos.They
told
about
where
we’d
been,where
we
54
were
and
where
we
were
going.They
were
55
of
those
people
we
loved
and
who
loved
us.Now
I
didn’t
think
my
“things”
meant
that
much
to
me.Indeed,the
spirit
of
them
was
all
that
truly
mattered.?
【语篇解读】本文记叙了作者一家的一次疏散经历。由于疏散过程中只能随身携带一些必需物品,对于那些无法带走的回忆,作者很伤感。但这样的经历让作者明白有些东西只是身外之物,生命中有人爱你,你也爱着他们,这才是最重要的。

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了智能宾馆的相关内容。
56.longer 考查固定搭配。句意:在中国,宾馆住客再也不用担心排队登记入住了。nolonger是固定搭配,意为“不再”,故填longer。
57.themselves 考查代词。此处表示完成他们自己的登记入住。故应用they的反身代词themselves,作check的宾语。
58.ischecked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处表示在信息被核实之后,且为一般性描述,应用一般现在时的被动语态,主语theinformation为第三人称单数,故填ischecked。
59.gradually 考查词形转换。此处应用副词修饰其后的“expanded”。
60.how 考查宾语从句。此处表示在中国人们的生活正在变得多么便利。分析句子结构可知,此处引导宾语从句,又根据语境可知,此处表示程度,故用连接副词how“多么”。
61.that 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导定语从句,指代先行词theonlycompany,在从句中作主语,又根据先行词前面有theonly修饰,故用that引导该定语从句。
62.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示专注于研发AI技术和智能宾馆。focuson/upon是固定搭配,意为“集中”,故填on/upon。
63.Travellers 考查名词。此处表示通过SmartLYZ的微信网页,旅客们就能预订房间。根据语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
64.given 考查形容词。根据空前的a和空后的名词passcode可知,此处应用形容词given“特定的”。
65.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语TheAISmartRoom与create为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用create的现在分词形式creating。

LifeBackonEarth
It
is
7
am
in
the
morning
and
the
alarm
reminds
me
once
again
to
prepare
for
the
school.It
is
a
beautiful
day
with
clear
sky
and
lots
of
bright
sunshine.But
I
don’t
have
time
to
soak
into
this
because
my
school
vehicle
will
come
at
8
sharp
and
in
case
I
miss,my
parent
will
give
me
a
beating.So
better
run.
My
school
bus
just
took
off
and
drove
past
the
residential
towers.It
takes
only
5
minutes
to
reach
the
school
where
each
of
us
will
have
designated
routines
to
follow
and
any
deviation
will
be
caught
on
CCTV
and
reported
back
to
my
parents
online
on
their
desk.After
all,it
is
the
year
2300.
Oh
yes!We
are
the
4th
generation
people
living
on
Europa
in
a
habitable
space
which
has
been
created
specifically
for
us
by
man
in
the
22nd
century.The
earth
became
dangerous
for
living
due
to
increasing
pollution
which
our
forefathers
created
and
hence
mankind
had
to
look
to
other
places
for
a
living.All
over
the
world,a
handful
of
people
were
selected
and
my
great
grandparents
travelled
all
the
way
to
this
place
to
continue
a
life.
It
is
12
pm
and
lunchtime.Today
we
were
served
some
delicious
cream
and
chocolates.These
are
made
on
planet
Mars
these
days
and
brought
here
directly.I
am
feeling
a
little
sleepy
but
my
robotic
teacher
won’t
give
me
a
break
and
also
our
results
will
be
out
today.I
am
feeling
a
little
tensed.
Oh
my
God!I
have
come
first
in
my
class,feeling
over
the
moon
(Or,over
the
Europa).And,you
won’t
believe
me—I
have
got
a
chance
to
visit
the
earth
along
with
others
on
a
day
trip.I
am
so
excited
about
the
trip
and
my
parents
are
equally
so.I
am
carrying
my
latest
camera
to
catch
every
moment
of
the
journey.
Finally
we
are
on
the
earth
after
the
4
hours’
journey
and
we
are
in
our
organo-synthetic
suit
to
protect
against
the
harmful
environment
where
once
mankind
took
their
first
breath.

Upon
arrival,we
found
ourselves
deep
in
hazy
atmosphere,which,as
my
robot
guide
tells
me,is
the
result
of
air
pollution.We
were
almost
out
of
breath,so
we
had
to
look
for
some

where
we
could
breathe.How
could
mankind
survive
here?I
wondered.Luckily,we
escaped
and
landed
near
a

some
crazy
kids
are
running
around
a

on
an
open

“Goal,Goal,Goal”
all
the

robot
guide
told
me
that
it
was
called
“Football”—the
most
popular
game
on
the
earth.I
thought
of
my
game
of
“Alien
Invasion”
which
is
more
exciting.Then
we
continued
our

Itisgettingdarkerandwehadtogoback.While
back,I
still
thought
about
the

pollution,the

on

can’t
understand
why
mankind
didn’t

I
get
many
emails
each
week
from
people
who
want
to
start
building
robots.As
a
builder
of
robots
for
30
years,here’s
my 1
on
the
subject.?
First,let’s
decide
what
a
“robot”
is.In
my
opinion,a
remote
controlled
car
is
not
a
robot
since
it
has
no
brain
of
its
own.To
be
a
robot,it
should
have
the
2
to
think
and
make
decisions.This
may
sound
3
at
first,but
really
any
small
computer
can
be
programmed
to
make
decisions.?
I
want
to
encourage
you,but 4 ,building
a
robot
is
not
easy.This
is
a
task
that
would
take
a
normal
person
several
months
or
years.In
5 ,as
past
president
of
the
Dallas
Personal
Robotics
Group,I’ve
known
professional
engineers
that
spent
several
years
just
to
6
a
mobile
base
working.?
I’m
not
trying
to 7
you,but
I
just
want
you
to
know
what
8
of
project
this
is.If
you
are
willing
to
spend
many
months,much
money,and
potentially
9 and
discouragement,then
design
and
build
your
own
robot
from
scratch.?
Most
people 10
that
they
can
build
a
robot
with
parts
found
around
the
house
and
that
is
partially
true.I
think
11
screwdrivers
would
be
a
good
drive
motor. 12 ,there
are
many
things
that
you
will
have
to
13 ,especially
when
it
comes
to
the
electronics,sensors
and
microcontroller
parts.These
items
are
simply
not
available
in
the
bottom
of
a
toy
box
or
at
your
local
Walmart.?
14
almost
all
believed
it
would
cost
much
15
when
they
began,most
robots
built
from
scratch
cost
between
$200
and
$400.Many
people
spend
well
over
$1000
and
some,much
more.?

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。如果一个人形机器人请求你不要关掉它,你会表示同情吗?文章介绍了被称作Nao的乞讨机器人。
1.intended 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词;experiment与intend构成逻辑上的被动关系,用过去分词作后置定语;beintendedto...表示“旨在……”,故填intended。
2.The 考查冠词。根据语境可知,此处特指“上文提到的实验”,且此处位于句首要大写首字母,故填定冠词The。
3.werepublished 考查动词时态和语态。根据主句中的wasconducted可知,此处时态应用一般过去时,表示过去发生的事情;复数名词findings与publish构成被动关系,故填werepublished。
4.which 考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子结构可知,此处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词Therobot,指物,从句中缺主语,故填which。
5.tomeasure 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词;beusedtodosth表示“被用来做某事”,动词不定式作目的状语,故填tomeasure。
6.speaking 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词;根据ortaking以及either...or...结构连接两个相同的成分可知,应填speaking。
7.suggests 考查动词时态。根据语境可知,此处应用一般现在时陈述客观事实,故填suggests,表示“表明,暗示”。
8.especially 考查副词。此处应该用副词修饰形容词social,故填副词especially。
9.explanation 考查名词。根据不定冠词a以及形容词possible可知,此处应用名词单数形式,故填explanation。
10.as 考查介词。regard...as...为固定词组,表示“把……视作……”,故填介词as。
Ⅵ.概要写作
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
YourRobotTeacheroftheFuture
Will
your
job
be
done
by
a
robot
in
the
future?Bank
of
England
economists
predict
that
almost
half
of
all
UK
jobs
are
under
threat
of
automation.Those
most
at
risk
involve
repetitive
manual
labour,such
as
factory
positions.But
could
even
the
respected
profession
of
teaching
soon
have
to
compete
against
powerful
electronic
educators?
At
first
glance,teaching
might
seem
unlikely
to
be
replaced
by
robots.Teachers
use
a
range
of
soft
skills
that
machines
find
hard
to
replicate.They
judge
pupils’
needs
and
tailor
feedback
accordingly.They
adapt
materials
to
make
them
more
attractive
and
effective.And
they
look
out
for
students
who
lag
behind
or
disrupt
the
class.
Nonetheless,some
believe
the
future
of
education
will
be
technological.In
an
interview
with
BusinessInsider
magazine,futurist
Thomas
Frey
predicts
that
“by
2030
the
largest
company
on
the
Internet
is
going
to
be
an
education-based
company
that
we
haven’t
heard
of
yet.”
He
thinks
that
online
robot
teachers
will
make
education
so
efficient.Students
will
be
able
to
get
an
undergraduate
degree
into
six
months
of
learning.A
bot
learns
what
your
“interests”
and
“reference
points”
are,“and
it
figures
out
how
to
teach
you
in
a
faster
and
faster
way
over
time,”
according
to
Frey.
Whether
or
not
such
incredible
speeds
will
be
reached,over
the
last
decade
there
has
been
a
huge
increase
in
online
learning
platforms.Some
companies
produce
courses
that
allow
millions
to
learn
at
home
for
free,at
their
own
pace.But
there
are
limitations.Without
the
face-to-face
stimulation
of
a
classroom
environment,the
majority
of
students
fail
to
complete
online
courses.How
to
sustain
motivation
to
learn
is
one
more
skill
that
online
teachers
will
need
to
master.
Indeed,Frey
admits
there
is
some
way
to
go:“Nobody
has
quite
cracked
the
code
for
the
future
of
education.”
What
do
teachers
themselves
think
about
this?Professor
Donald
Clark
from
Derby
University
in
the
UK
thinks
that
we
should
welcome
change,even
though
people
will
lose
their
jobs.
“Artificial
intelligence
will
destroy
jobs—so
why
not
use
it
for
a
social
good
such
as
learning?”
he
asked.

Though

Teachers

Technology
is
forever
changing
the
way
we
get
our
news.Most
people
now
get
a
lot
of
their
news
on
electronic
devices,instead
of
traditional
media,such
as
newspapers,television
or
radio.An
increasing
number
of
people
also
report
turning
to
social
media
for
information.
Now,there
is
a
new
technology
that
could
greatly
change
the
way
we
get
the
news:computer-created
news
readers.China
has
launched
what
it
called
the
world’s
first
artificial
intelligence,or
AI
news
presenters.
The
news
readers,supported
by
machine
learning
technology,are
based
on
two
real-life
Chinese
newsmen.One
is
able
to
present
news
broadcast
in
English;the
other,in
Mandarin
Chinese.A
report
said
machine
learning
was
used
to
examine
video
images
and
sounds
of
the
two
newsmen.Similar
technology
has
been
used
to
create
video
products
known
as
“deepfake
videos”.A
deepfake
video
is
a
video
that
looks
real,but
was
electronically
changed.Such
videos
can
make
people
appear
to
say
things
they
never
said.
It’s
said
that
the
AI
presenters
will
be
a
great
improvement
to
the
news
team
because
they
“can
work
24
hours
a
day”
on
its
website
and
on
social
media.One
of
the
presenters
even
promised
to
“work
tirelessly”
to
keep
people
informed.Some
machine
learning
experts
said
the
system
showed
off
China’s
latest
progress
in
voice
recognition,text-to-speech
technology
and
data
analysis.
Others
wondered
about
the
effects
robots
might
have
on
employment
and
workers.Some
people
argued
that
only
low-level
jobs
requiring
heavy
labour
will
be
easily
replaced
by
robots.Others
praised
the
technology
as
a
way
for
companies
to
make
money
from
low-cost
labour
machines.
Anyway,for
its
great
potential,some
businesses
have
experimented
with
similar
technology
for
possible
use
in
news
operations.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了如何才能当一名记者。如:提高交际技巧;尊重事实;避免出现自己的观点;决定为哪家媒体服务;寻找有趣的故事等。
1.B 上文提到“你是否告诉别人在工作场所或学校发生的事情”,B项“如果这样的话,你在报道这个事件”与上文语意相符。
2.F 本部分的小标题是“Improveyourcommunicationskills.”,F项中提到了“youwillneedtoread,write,speakandlisten”。我们知道,“听、说、读、写”是交际的四种基本形式,所以选F项。
3.G 前面提到“不要做出假设和编造故事”,后面应该提到这样做的后果。G项“说谎、编故事或者错误引用别人的话只能毁坏你的可信度”符合语境。
4.C 通读本段内容可知,本段主要讲述的是媒体选择的问题,故C项符合语境。
5.A 根据第一句“Chancesaregoodthatotherswillfindtheminteresting,too”可知,上文应提到“interesting”,所以选A项。Unit1SCIENCEFICTION

The
3
BestMarvelFilms-Ranked!
It
seems
that
ranking
films
well
is
always
a
tough
task.In
the
hearts
of
millions
of
fans,everyone
has
his
own
choice.Superhero
films
are
even
more
so.Recently,TheGuardian
(卫报)
has
selected
three
of
the
most
popular
Marvel
films.
No.3
BladeⅡ
This
film
continues
the
story
of
an
earlier
1998’s
Blade
and
is
directed
by
Guillermo.The
story
once
again
concerns
the
mysterious
daywalker,played
by
Wesley
Snipes.It
is
an
action
film
full
of
high
technology
and
the
fighting
scenes
Guillermo
expresses
are
horribly
exciting.Not
a
typical
superhero
film,in
many
ways,but
a
great
one.
No.2
BlackPanther
This
superb
film
is
an
entertaining
adventure,with
a
richer
component
of
fantasy
than
the
other
Marvel
films.The
character
of
Black
Panther
is
established
as
one
of
Marvel’s
greatest
heroes.It
is
a
big
hit
across
the
board.It
also
employs
Rachel
Morrison
who
is
MCU’s
first
woman
cinematographer,a
photographer
who
operates
a
movie
camera.Marvel
Studios’
president,Kevin
Feige,has
promised
to
get
more
women
writers
and
directors
on
board.So
far,the
only
Marvel
female
writer
is
Nicole
Perlman
for
GuardiansoftheGalaxy.
No.1
Thor:Ragnarok
It
is
smart,visually
exciting
and
perhaps
above
all,funny.And
it’s
funny
in
a
way
that
only
Marvel
films
can
be.It
suggests
that
to
some
degree
comedy
can
be
an
important
part
of
the
drama.Taika
Waititi
was
an
inspired
choice
as
director.Hemsworth
plays
the
role
of
Thor
and
Cate
Blanchett
plays
Hela,the
goddess
of
death
who
also
happens
to
be
Thor’s
half-sister.
【语篇解读】本文为应用文。文章介绍了《卫报》选出的三部最受欢迎的漫威系列电影。

“Now
I
just
don’t
believe
that.”
Surely
all
of
us,at
some
point,have
watched
a
movie
and
thought:It’s
simply
badly
researched,or,the
makers
must
think
we’re
idiots.
The
British
newspaper
TheDailyTelegraph
ran
a
humorous
piece
on
unconvincing
tech
moments
from
some
top
movies.Let’s
see
what
they
are
all
about.
TheDailyTelegraph
writer
Tom
Chivers’
first
example
is
from
the
end-of-the-world
movie
IndependenceDay,in
which
a
character
comes
up
with
a
virus
which
destroys
Windows,the
computer
system
the
alien
spacecraft
uses.“It’s
a
good
thing
they
didn’t
have
Norton
Anti-virus,”
jokes
Chivers.
It’s
just
one
case
of
a
movie
that
takes
a
lot
of
license
with
its
science.Another
one
Chivers
mentions
is
from
StarWars,where
glowing
beams
of
light
traveling
through
space
look
very
impressive.But
the
problem
is
that
in
space
there
are
no
air
particles
for
the
light
to
reflect
off.In
reality,they’d
be
invisible,which
wouldn’t
look
so
cool
on
the
big
screen.
Chivers’
second
piece
of
StarWars
nonsense
is
the
sound
the
fighters
make
in
the
movies:“the
bellow
(咆哮)
of
an
elephant
mixed
with
a
car
driving
on
a
wet
road”.But
sound
needs
a
medium
to
travel
through,like
air.In
space,there
wouldn’t
actually
be
any
sound
at
all.
Few
people
would
deny
that
the
mind-bending
Matrix
films
are
made
for
great
viewing,but
for
Chivers,the
science
in
the
movies
is
a
little
silly.
And
finally,as
Chivers
points
out,DNA
is
not
replaceable.But
this
bit
of
elementary
genetics
passed
the
makers
of
the
2002
Bond
film
DieAnotherDay
by.In
the
film
the
bad
man
has
“gene
therapy”
to
change
his
appearance
and
his
DNA,which
is
completely
impossible
in
our
real
world.

A.Plotsofsomefamousmovies.
B.Charactersinspacemovies.
C.Popularityofspacemovies.
D.Mistakesmadeinsomemovies.
答案D
解析主旨大意题。根据文章的第一段以及下文所举的几个例子可知,文章主要讲述了几部电影中出现的科技方面的错误。
5.What
does
the
underlined
word
“they”

A.The
newspapers.
B.Unconvincing

D.Heroes

答案B
解析代词指代题。根据前面的“TheDailyTelegraphranahumorouspieceonunconvincingtechmomentsfromsometopmovies.”可知,此处的they指的是“unconvincingtechmoments”。
6.As

impressive
B.light
seems
like
glowing
beams
C.glowing

D.light
can’t
travel
through
space
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据“therearenoairparticlesforthelighttoreflectoff.”可知,没有空气粒子就无法反射光线,因此我们就看不到耀眼的光束。
7.What
can
we
know
from
the
sixth
paragraph?
A.Most
people
like
Matrix
films.
B.Most
people
suspect
the
truth
of
Matrix
films.
C.Few
people
enjoy
viewing
Matrix
films.
D.Chivers
thinks
science
is
not
acceptable.
答案A
解析推理判断题。根据“Fewpeoplewoulddenythatthemind-bendingMatrixfilmsaremadeforgreatviewing”可知,既然很少有人怀疑这种电影好看,因此看得人肯定很多。Unit

When
people
see
machines
that
respond
like
humans,or
computers
that
perform
amazing
functions,they
sometimes
joke
about
a
future
in
which
humanity
will
need
to
accept
robot
overlords(霸主).But
buried
in
the
joke
is
a
seed
of
unease.Science-fiction
writing
and
popular
movies
have
shown
us
about
artificial
intelligence
(AI)
that
escapes
its
creators’
control.
Even
in
the
real
world,not
everyone
is
ready
to
welcome
AI
with
open
arms.In
recent
years,as
computer
scientists
have
pushed
the
boundaries(界限)
of
what
AI
can
accomplish,leading
figures
in
technology
and
science
have
warned
people
about
the
frightening
dangers
that
artificial
intelligence
may
pose
to
human
beings,even
suggesting
that
AI
could
destroy
the
human
race.But
why
are
people
so
frightened
about
the
idea
of
AI?
Elon
Musk
is
one
of
the
voices
that
have
raised
redflags
about
AI.In
July
2017,Musk
told
people
at
a
meeting
of
the
National
Governors
Association,“I
have
exposure
to
the
very
cutting-edge
AI,and
I
think
people
should
be
really
concerned
about
it.I
keep
sounding
the
alarm
bell.But
until
people
see
robots
going
down
the
street
killing
people,they
don’t
know
how
to
react,because
it
seems
so
impossible.”?
Earlier,in
2014,Musk
had
labeled
AI
“our
biggest
existential
threat”,and
in
August
2017,he
declared
that
humanity
faced
a
greater
risk
from
AI
than
the
terrorists.
Physicist
Stephen
Hawking,who
died
on
March
14,2018
also
expressed
concerns
about
AI,telling
the
BBC
in
2014
that
“the
development
of
full
artificial
intelligence
could
spell
the
end
of
the
human
race”.
It’s
also
less
than
reassuring
that
some
programmers
—
particularly
those
with
MIT
Media
Lab
in
Cambridge,Massachusetts
—
seem
determined
to
prove
that
AI
can
be
terrifying.

Dear
Eric,
How’s
everything
going?I’m
writing
to
recommend
a
film
TheWanderingEarth
to
you.
I
watched
the
film
at
the
local
theatre
last
weekend,which
is
regarded
as
the
best
science
fiction
film
in
Chinese
film
history.And
I
was
deeply
impressed
with
the
film
theme
which
is
about
protecting
the
earth.The
earth
is
our
common
home
and
we
should
spare
no
effort
to
protect
it.
I
strongly
hope
you
can
have
a
try
and
the
film
will
never
disappoint
you!

DreamforFuture
People
were
busy
in
their
own
laboratories
in
the
Mars.Turtex
told
me,“Let
us
go
to
the
Earth
to
have
a
cup
of
coffee.”
I
laughed
for
such
a
childish
joke
and
I
also
jokingly
asked
him,“Is
there
no
coffee
shop
in
the
Mars?”
He
replied,“It
has
but
they
can’t
prepare
coffee
as
tasty
as
that
on
the
Earth.”
However,for
a
while
I
thought
it
would
be
better
to
take
a
cup
of
tasty
coffee
from
Ramu’s
Coffee
Shop
located
at
our
village,Kushmandi.
Turtex
told
me
to
enter
a
room
near
his
laboratory.We
entered
there
and
found
that
the
room
was
internally
coated
with
some
materials
like
sponge.Turtex
closed
the
door
of
the
room
with
a
clap.I
saw
some
colourful
buttons
inside
the
room.After
a
few
seconds
I
heard
another
clap
and
noticed
that
the
door
opened.
Turtex
said,“Come
with
me.”
I
asked,“Where?”
He
replied,“Now
we
are
at
Kushmandi.”
I
shouted,“What?”
We
came
out
of
the
room
and
I
astonishingly
viewed
the
sky-scrapers
around
me.Turtex
said
loudly,“What’s
wrong
with
you?Come
with
me.”
Eventually
we
entered
a
coffee
club
designed
like
a
Five
Star
Restaurant.Suddenly
I
noticed
a
display
board
with
an
electronic
text
on,“Welcome
to
Kushmandi.Now
you
are
in
famous
Ramu’s
Coffee
Shop.Enjoy
the
taste
of
the
best
coffee
on
the
Earth.”
Suddenly
many
hazy
and
crazy
questions
came
to
my
mind.
“What
was
the
nearby
room
of
the
lab?How
was
it
possible
to
travel
an
enormous
distance
from
the
Mars
to
the
Earth?Is
it
like
opening
my
favourite
TV
channel
with
a
remote?How
the
poor
coffee
stall
of
our
village
turned
into
a
Five
Star
Coffee
Club?In
which
century
were
we?”

Thinkingsuchhazythings,IfollowedTurtexintothecoffeeclub.The
delicious
smell
of
coffee
rushed
into
my
nose.Oh,my
loveable
tasty
coffee.How
eager
I
was
to
have
a
cup
of
it
at
once!“Come
here.”
Turtex
said.Still
absorbed
in
those
hazy
questions,I
followed
Turtex
and
sat
beside
a
table,which
was
coated
with
strange
materials,waiting
to
enjoy
the
best
coffee
on
the
Earth.

Impatiently
I
took
it
and
took
a
sip.“Oh.My
gosh.”
It
was
so
hot
that
it
seemed
that
my
mouth
got
burnt.But
then
I
heard
a
hair-cutting
sound.I
slowly
opened
my
eyes
and
found
that
a
nurse
was
cutting
my
hair
and
putting
them
into
a
tray
beside
my
bed
and
telling
me,“Nothing
serious.It
needs
just
two
stitches
on
your
forehead
and
you
will
be
OK
within
a
week.”
I
finally
realised
that
it
was
our
village
hospital
at
Kushmandi
that
I
was
in,not
at
the
coffee
club.
