Before birth, babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish their mother's voice from that of a female stranger. But when it comes to embryonic learning(胎教), birds could rule the roost. As recently reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化)。New-born chicks can then imitate their mom's call within a few days of entering the world.
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs, When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular “feed me!”call.
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching, Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies' begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food.
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn.“As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need ”Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be going for quality. ”
（1）The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means“ ”.
A．be the worst B．be the best
C．be just as bad D．be just as good
（2）What are Kleindorfer's findings based on
A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks.
B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.
C．The data collected from Queensland's locals.
D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.
（3）Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which .
A．can receive quality signals B．are in need of training
C．fit the environment better D．make the loudest call

A new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry, urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime, The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.
But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies' control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply panies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make from it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users' consent.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if governments don't wants a data economy by a few giants, they must act soon.
（1）Why is there a call to break up giants
A．They have controlled the data market
B．They collect enormous private data
C．They no longer provide free services
D．They dismissed some new-born giants
（2）What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate
A．Data giants' technology is very expensive
B．Google's idea is popular among data firms
C．Data can strengthen giants' controlling position
D．Data can be turned into new services or products
（3）By paying attention to firms' data assets, antitrust regulators could .
A．kill a new threat B．avoid the size trap
C．favour bigger firms D．charge higher prices
（4）What is the purpose of loosening the giants' control of data
A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure.
B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure.
C．Consumers could better protect their privacy.
D．Small companies could get more opportunities.

Old Problem，New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life，global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emission were to begin decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that:”there is no ‘one-size fit all' adaptation.” Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries，Floods have some more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that server as floating libraries，schools，and health clinics，and are equipment with solar panels and other communication facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连接） to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff people how to make floating gardens fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Nophel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel's inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves. Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norhel's ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth's reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear, But the World Bank has included the project on its of ‘100 ideas to save the planet”.
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allows him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense, But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in the way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
（1）The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
A．adaptation is an ever-changing process
B．the cost of adaptation varies with time
C．global warming affects adaptation forms
D．adaptation to climate change is challenging
（2）What is special with regard to Rezwan's project
A．The project receives government support.
B．Different organizations work with each other.
C．His organization makes the best of a bad situation.
D．The project connects flooded roads and highways.
（3）What did the Ice Man do to reduce the effect of global warming
A．Storing ice for future use.
B．Protecting the glaciers from melting.
C．Changing the irrigation time.
D．Postponing the melting of the glaciers.
（4）What do we learn from the Peru example
A．White paint is usually safe for buildings.
B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped.
C．This country is heating up too quickly.
D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.
（5）According to the author, polluting industries should .
A．adapt to carbon pollution B．plant highly profitable crops
C．leave carbon emission alone D．fight against carbon pollution
（6）What's the author's preferred solution to global warming
A．setting up a new standard. B．Readucing carbon emission.
C．Adapting to climate change. D．Monitoring polluting industries.
六、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
Population Change
Why is the world's population growing？The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900,people died at the average age of 30.By 2000 the average age was 65.But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level(i.e.2.1 births per woman)and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss(especially since80% of the world's people now live in such nations),but you'd be wrong, Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%,Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961.Why is this occurring Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don't bend. Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050.
In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total,25% of India's working-age population has no education. In 2030,a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated.
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030,Moreover,the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.

（1）细节理解。根据副标题——The Unbelievable Years that Defined History以及 CHRONOLOGICA is a fascinating journey through time,from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet.可知是一本介绍历史事件的书，故选B。
（2）文章结构。通读全文可知作者在文中以提问的方式提到很多鱼历史有关的人物和重大事件，通过from the foundation of Rome to the creation of the internet；why being a Roman Emperor wasn't always as good as it sounds,how the Hundred Years' War didn't actually last for 100 years and why Spencer Perceval holds a rather unfortunate record可知作者在引用书中的内容，故选B。

28．【答案】（1）B

（3）C
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；环境保护类
【解析】【分析】本文介绍鸟在繁衍过程中通过胎教培育出优质的后代。
⑴词义猜测。由but可知上下句是转折关系。虽然婴儿能辨别妈妈的声音，但是谈到胎教，鸟儿是……、根据第二段When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers可知鸟儿在孵化小鸟时的鸣叫对未出生的小鸟有很大影响，以至于被孵化出来后就能发出类似的声音。说明鸟儿在胎教方面比人类更强，故选B。
⑵推理判断。根据第二段“”可知，研究发现是对澳大利亚两种会鸟鸣的鸟儿进行了记录，根据第三段“the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird.”可知，研究人员并未在全澳洲范围展开调查；未对其它鸟类进行记录研究，排除D项。根据倒数第三段“A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.”可知，A项正确。
⑶细节理解。根据倒数第二段“the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food”和最后一段“Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”可知，模仿母鸟模仿得最好的雏鸟得到最多的食物，研究结果表明，母亲会选择质量好的雏鸟，即最会模仿它们的声音的雏鸟，质量优良，无需过多的帮助就能更好适应环境。故选C。
【点评】本文难度适中，主要考查学生句意推断能力和细节捕捉能力，定位好信息后要多加思考，在理解上下文的基础上进行推断。
29．【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【知识点】推理判断题；政治经济类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文讨论对“信息寡头”反思和解决对策。
⑴细节理解。根据关键词break up giants定位到第二段第一句Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up，由such可知答案在上文中，跟第一段第一句话中的urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow呼应反垄断监管机构介入来审核那些控制了数据市场的巨头，可知是因为这些巨头控制了数据市场，人们才呼吁解散那些巨头，故选A。
⑵推理判断。根据关键词定位到第三段最后两句：Internet companies' control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.可知网络公司对数据的控制给了他们巨大的权利，他们甚至可以用上帝的眼光来看待他们的市场活动，这样进一步加强了那些巨头的地位，故选C。
⑶推理判断。根据关键词定位到第五段的前三句The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals可知反垄断组织之前一直是根据公司的规模来决定他们是否介入，而现在需要考虑那些公司的数据库的范围，故选B。A中的new threat在文中指的是new-born company，由第五段最后两句可知是新兴公司被大公司吞并，而不是反垄断监管机构吞并新兴公司。
⑷推理判断。根据第四段Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves：in time，one of them would become great again．A rethink is required-and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out．可知把像谷歌这样的公司分成五个小公司，它们不会停止自我改造：随着时间的推移，它们中的某一个会再次强大起来．为了达到上述的情况，有两个方法：1、合并公司时需要考虑公司的数据资产以及收购价格；2、放松科技巨头的数据控制．由此可知，通过放松科技巨头的数据控制，小公司可以获得更多的机会，变得强大起来．故选D。
【点评】本文考查在文中定位信息并分析句子的能力。需要考生把握好关键词和长难句的意思，同时注意排除选项中在文中没有提到的内容。

（5）D
（6）B
【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普环保类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文针对老话题“全球变暖”展开，提出针对老问题的新的解决办法。
⑴推理判断。根据第二段最后一句Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost可知没有放之四海而皆准的方法，即适应是需要根据情况不断做出调整，而非一成不变的。故one-size fit all意为“通用的，万全之策”，因此选A.适应是不断变化的。
⑵细节理解。根据关键词
Rezwan's project定位在第三段第二行Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster
可知，Rezwan会从危机中看到机遇，会充分利用现有条件。另外根据他之后采取的用船充当应急基础设施的举措可以看出，Rezman充分利用了当前的条件，故选C。
⑶细节理解。根据Ice Man定位到文章第四段，第二行The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming和第下文Norphel's inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring可知他将冰川融化浪费的水储存起来，等到需要的时候再使用。故选A。
⑷推理判断。根据文章第五段物质一句By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.以及第六段中的painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness 可知，将墙壁涂成白色是利用了光的反射原理，这样可以缓解气候变暖。故选D，
⑸推理判断。根据第7段最后When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.可知目前一些污染企业说他们已经失去了对碳污染的控制，但作者认为这个说辞是“一派胡言”，说明作者认为污染企业应该行动起来与污染作斗争。故选D。
⑹推理判断。根据文章最后一段 the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.可知作者认为最合理的应对全球变暖的方法当然还是改变我们的能源体系来减少谈污染的排放，从根源上缓解气候变暖。故选B。
【点评】本文篇幅长，题量多，当时与往年相比难度有所降低，阅读的障碍不大，题目设置较为简单，可以通过排除或根据文章内容直接选择都可以得到正确答案。
31．【答案】lower；size/scale；immediate；economic；old/older；earlier；living/life；equality；immigration；compensate
【知识点】任务型阅读；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文论述世界人口出生率的降低导致劳动力的减少和针对这一问题的解决办法。
⑴根据“declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st”可知，21世纪的出生率比20世纪低，且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级，故填lower。
⑵根据第二段“almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate”可知，发达国家人口出生率正在下降，即人口难以维持现有的规模，“maintain”一词是做题的依据，故填size/scale。
⑶根据第二段“which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades”中的“within a few decades”可知，出生率的下降对发展中国家和全球的消极影响还没有发生，由此联想到“影响不是立即产生的”。故填immediate
⑷接下来几段分别讲了中国、俄国、印度的人口与经济问题，根据“economic development before a population decline hits the country.”可知答案是economic。
⑸根据第三段 A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China可知中国的年轻人变得更少了，所以中国的劳动力在老化，故填older。
⑹根据“the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961...but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it”可知，俄罗斯人口由于缩短的寿命而急剧下降。故填earlier
⑺如果俄罗斯人改变他们的生活方式，他们的情况可能会好一些。故填living/life
⑻根据“but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly”可知，教育可以降低出生率，因此，可以通过普及教育来抑制人口增长。故填equality
⑼根据“One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration.”可知，通过移民来引入外来工人是解决劳动力短缺的一种方法。故填immigration
⑽根据“Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population”可知，美国的移民政策将会使劳动力有所增加。接纳移民可以弥补劳动力的短缺。故填compensate
32．【答案】Possible version one:
The box-office income of Chinese movies witnessed a constant increase from about 17 billion yuan in 2012 to over 40 billion in 2015. However, that increase slowed down in 2016.
The reasons behind this are various. The fast economic development before 2016 was probably the most powerful engine driving the constant growth in the box-office income. The application of new technologies and the wide appeal of movie stars could also account for the increase. However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. And the internet increased options for movie lovers. Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, leading to a slower growth.
China's economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years, so an increase is possible in the investment in the movie industry and the number of quality movies. Therefore, its box-office income will probably enjoy a slight increase.
【知识点】命题作文；图画式议论文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇图表+文字材料的写作，文字材料这次比较不同的是用了两个对话，从对话中能看出，票房高的原因是特效好，选择范围大，电影院感受好，而且价格也不贵，但是反对方的态度是现在网络发达，在家中看电影很方便，而且不用花钱，并且有很多电影很无聊，不值得去电影院观看。
所以主题是我国票房逐年增长，需要考生首先概括柱状图的信息内容，再谈谈去票房收入变化的原因，简要谈谈看法，并简要谈谈票房走向，需要学生作出预测。
【点评】考查方式让人耳目一新，突出对学习能力的考查。试卷给考生提供多模态的语言输入，要求从柱状图中读出电影票房增速变化的趋势以及两组对话中隐含的增长快与缓的原因。要求考生根据柱状图提出观点、说明理由，优秀考生应关注论据的确凿性、客观性和一致性，关注思维过程的准确性、清晰性、相关性、批判性和创新性，关注语言输出的准确性、流利性和写作内容谋篇布局的合理性与连贯性。

28．（2017·江苏）阅读理解
Before birth, babies can tell the difference between loud sounds and voices. They can even distinguish their mother's voice from that of a female stranger. But when it comes to embryonic learning(胎教), birds could rule the roost. As recently reported in The Auk: Ornithological Advances, some mother birds may teach their young to sing even before they hatch(孵化)。New-born chicks can then imitate their mom's call within a few days of entering the world.
This educational method was first observed in 2012 by Sonia Kleindorfer, a biologist at Flinders University in South Australia, and her colleagues. Female Australian superb fairy wrens were found to repeat one sound over and over again while hatching their eggs, When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers—a sound that served as their regular “feed me!”call.
To find out if the special quality was more widespread in birds, the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird. First they collected sound data from 67 nests in four sites in Queensland before and after hatching, Then they identified begging calls by analyzing the order and number of notes. A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.
It turns out that baby red-backed fairy wrens also emerge chirping like their moms. And the more frequently mothers had called to their eggs, the more similar were the babies' begging calls. In addition, the team set up a separate experiment that suggested that the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food.
This observation hints that effective embryonic learning could signal neurological(神经系统的) strengths of children to parents. An evolutionary inference can then be drawn.“As a parent, do you invest in quality children, or do you invest in children that are in need ”Kleindorfer asks. “Our results suggest that they might be going for quality. ”
（1）The underlined phrase in Paragraph 1 means“ ”.
A．be the worst B．be the best
C．be just as bad D．be just as good
（2）What are Kleindorfer's findings based on
A．Similarities between the calls moms and chicks.
B．The observation of fairy wrens across Australia.
C．The data collected from Queensland's locals.
D．Controlled experiments on wrens and other birds.
（3）Embryonic learning helps mother birds to identify the baby birds which .
A．can receive quality signals B．are in need of training
C．fit the environment better D．make the loudest call
【答案】（1）B
（2）A
（3）C
【知识点】推理判断题；词义猜测题；细节理解题；说明文；环境保护类
【解析】【分析】本文介绍鸟在繁衍过程中通过胎教培育出优质的后代。
⑴词义猜测。由but可知上下句是转折关系。虽然婴儿能辨别妈妈的声音，但是谈到胎教，鸟儿是……、根据第二段When the eggs were hatched, the baby birds made the similar chirp to their mothers可知鸟儿在孵化小鸟时的鸣叫对未出生的小鸟有很大影响，以至于被孵化出来后就能发出类似的声音。说明鸟儿在胎教方面比人类更强，故选B。
⑵推理判断。根据第二段“”可知，研究发现是对澳大利亚两种会鸟鸣的鸟儿进行了记录，根据第三段“the researchers sought the red-backed fairy wren, another species of Australian songbird.”可知，研究人员并未在全澳洲范围展开调查；未对其它鸟类进行记录研究，排除D项。根据倒数第三段“A computer analysis blindly compared calls produced by mothers and chicks, ranking them by similarity.”可知，A项正确。
⑶细节理解。根据倒数第二段“the baby birds that most closely imitated their mom's voice were rewarded with the most food”和最后一段“Our results suggest that they might be going for quality.”可知，模仿母鸟模仿得最好的雏鸟得到最多的食物，研究结果表明，母亲会选择质量好的雏鸟，即最会模仿它们的声音的雏鸟，质量优良，无需过多的帮助就能更好适应环境。故选C。
【点评】本文难度适中，主要考查学生句意推断能力和细节捕捉能力，定位好信息后要多加思考，在理解上下文的基础上进行推断。
29．（2017·江苏）阅读理解
A new commodity brings about a highly profitable, fast-growing industry, urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow. A century ago ,the resource in question was oil. Now similar concerns are being raised by the giants（巨头）that deal in data, the oil of the digital age. The most valuable firms are Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. All look unstoppable.
Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up. But size alone is not a crime, The giants' success has benefited consumers. Few want to live without search engines or a quick delivery, Far from charging consumers high prices, many of these services are free (users pay, in effect, by handing over yet more data). And the appearance of new-born giants suggests that newcomers can make waves, too.
But there is cause for concern. The internet has made data abundant, all-present and far more valuable, changing the nature of data and competition. Google initially used the data collected from users to target advertising better. But recently it has discovered that data can be turned into new services: translation and visual recognition, to be sold to other companies. Internet companies' control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.
This nature of data makes the antitrust measures of the past less useful. Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves: in time, one of them would become great again. A rethink is required—and as a new approach starts to become apparent, two ideas stand out.
The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals. The purchase price could also be a signal that an established company is buying a new-born threat. When this takes place, especially when a new-born company has no revenue to speak of, the regulators should raise red flags.
The second principle is to loosen the control that providers of on-line services have over data and give more to those who supply panies could be forced to consumers what information they hold and how many money they make from it. Governments could order the sharing of certain kinds of data, with users' consent.
Restarting antitrust for the information age will not be easy But if governments don't wants a data economy by a few giants, they must act soon.
（1）Why is there a call to break up giants
A．They have controlled the data market
B．They collect enormous private data
C．They no longer provide free services
D．They dismissed some new-born giants
（2）What does the technological innovation in Paragraph 3 indicate
A．Data giants' technology is very expensive
B．Google's idea is popular among data firms
C．Data can strengthen giants' controlling position
D．Data can be turned into new services or products
（3）By paying attention to firms' data assets, antitrust regulators could .
A．kill a new threat B．avoid the size trap
C．favour bigger firms D．charge higher prices
（4）What is the purpose of loosening the giants' control of data
A．Big companies could relieve data security pressure.
B．Governments could relieve their financial pressure.
C．Consumers could better protect their privacy.
D．Small companies could get more opportunities.
【答案】（1）A
（2）C
（3）B
（4）D
【知识点】推理判断题；政治经济类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文讨论对“信息寡头”反思和解决对策。
⑴细节理解。根据关键词break up giants定位到第二段第一句Such situations have led to calls for the tech giants to be broken up，由such可知答案在上文中，跟第一段第一句话中的urging antitrust（反垄断）regulators to step in to check those who control its flow呼应反垄断监管机构介入来审核那些控制了数据市场的巨头，可知是因为这些巨头控制了数据市场，人们才呼吁解散那些巨头，故选A。
⑵推理判断。根据关键词定位到第三段最后两句：Internet companies' control of data gives them enormous power. So they have a “God's eye view” of activities in their own markets and beyond.可知网络公司对数据的控制给了他们巨大的权利，他们甚至可以用上帝的眼光来看待他们的市场活动，这样进一步加强了那些巨头的地位，故选C。
⑶推理判断。根据关键词定位到第五段的前三句The first is that antitrust authorities need to move form the industrial age into the 21st century. When considering a merger(兼并),for example, they have traditionally used size to determine when to step in. They now need to take into account the extent of firms' data assets(资产) when assessing the impact of deals可知反垄断组织之前一直是根据公司的规模来决定他们是否介入，而现在需要考虑那些公司的数据库的范围，故选B。A中的new threat在文中指的是new-born company，由第五段最后两句可知是新兴公司被大公司吞并，而不是反垄断监管机构吞并新兴公司。
⑷推理判断。根据第四段Breaking up firms like Google into five small ones would not stop remaking themselves：in time，one of them would become great again．A rethink is required-and as a new approach starts to become apparent，two ideas stand out．可知把像谷歌这样的公司分成五个小公司，它们不会停止自我改造：随着时间的推移，它们中的某一个会再次强大起来．为了达到上述的情况，有两个方法：1、合并公司时需要考虑公司的数据资产以及收购价格；2、放松科技巨头的数据控制．由此可知，通过放松科技巨头的数据控制，小公司可以获得更多的机会，变得强大起来．故选D。
【点评】本文考查在文中定位信息并分析句子的能力。需要考生把握好关键词和长难句的意思，同时注意排除选项中在文中没有提到的内容。
30．（2017·江苏）阅读与理解
D
Old Problem，New Approaches
While clean energy is increasingly used in our daily life，global warning will continue for some decades after CO2 emissions（排放）peak. So even if emission were to begin decrease today，we would still face the challenge of adapting to climate. Here I will stress some smarter and more creative examples of climate adaptation.
When it comes to adaptation，it is important to understand that climate change is a process. We are therefore not talking about adapting to a new standard，but to a constantly shifting set of conditions. This is why in part at least，the US National Climate Assessment says that:”there is no ‘one-size fit all' adaptation.” Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost.
Around the world people are adapting in surprising ways，especially in some poor countries，Floods have some more damaging in Bangladesh in recent decades. Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster. His not-for-profit organization runs 100 river boats that server as floating libraries，schools，and health clinics，and are equipment with solar panels and other communication facilities. Rezwan is creating floating connectivity（连接） to replace flooded roads and highways. But he is also working at a far more fundamental level：his staff people how to make floating gardens fish ponds prevent starvation during the wet season.
Elsewhere in Asia even more astonishing actions are being taken. Chewang Nophel lives in a mountainous region in India, where he is known as the Ice Man. The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming represents an enormous threat to agriculture. Without the glaciers, water will arrive in the rivers at times when it can damage crops. Norphel's inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring. His fields of ice supply perfectly timed irrigation(灌溉) water. Having created nine such ice reserves. Nophel calculates that he has stored about 200, 000m3 of water. Climate change is a continuing process, so Norhel's ice reserves will not last forever. Warming will overtake them. But he is providing a few years during which the farmers will, perhaps, be able to find other means of adapting.
Increasing Earth's reflectiveness can cool the planet. In southern Spain the sudden increase of greenhouses (which reflect light back to space) has changed the warming trend locally, and actually cooled the region. While Spain as a whole is heating up quickly, temperatures near the greenhouses have decreased. This example should act as an inspiration for all cities. By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.
In Peru, local farmers around a mountain with a glacier that has already fallen victim to climate change have begun painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness will restore the life-giving ice. The outcome is still far from clear, But the World Bank has included the project on its of ‘100 ideas to save the planet”.
More ordinary forms of adaptation are happening everywhere. A friend of mine owns an area of land in western Victoria. Over five generations the land has been too wet for cropping. But during the past decade declining rainfall has allows him to plant highly profitable crops. Farmers in many countries are also adapting like this—either by growing new produce, or by growing the same things differently. This is common sense, But some suggestions for adapting are not. When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.
Human beings will continue to adapt to the changing climate in both ordinary and astonishing ways. But the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution. After all, if we adapt in the way, we may avoid the need to change in so many others.
（1）The underlined part in Paragraph 2 implies .
A．adaptation is an ever-changing process
B．the cost of adaptation varies with time
C．global warming affects adaptation forms
D．adaptation to climate change is challenging
（2）What is special with regard to Rezwan's project

B．The global warming tread cannot be stopped.
C．This country is heating up too quickly.
D．Sunlight reflection may relieve global warming.
（5）According to the author, polluting industries should .

【知识点】推理判断题；细节理解题；科普环保类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文针对老话题“全球变暖”展开，提出针对老问题的新的解决办法。
⑴推理判断。根据第二段最后一句Nevertheless，there are some actions that offer much and carry little risk or cost可知没有放之四海而皆准的方法，即适应是需要根据情况不断做出调整，而非一成不变的。故one-size fit all意为“通用的，万全之策”，因此选A.适应是不断变化的。
⑵细节理解。根据关键词
Rezwan's project定位在第三段第二行Mohammed Rezwan saw opportunity where others saw only disaster
可知，Rezwan会从危机中看到机遇，会充分利用现有条件。另外根据他之后采取的用船充当应急基础设施的举措可以看出，Rezman充分利用了当前的条件，故选C。
⑶细节理解。根据Ice Man定位到文章第四段，第二行The loss of glaciers(冰川) there due to global warming和第下文Norphel's inspiration come from seeing the waste of water over winter, when it was not needed. He directed the wasted water into shallow basins where it froze, and was stored until the spring可知他将冰川融化浪费的水储存起来，等到需要的时候再使用。故选A。
⑷推理判断。根据文章第五段物质一句By painting buildings white, cities may slow down the warming process.以及第六段中的painting the entire mountain peak white in the hope that the added reflectiveness 可知，将墙壁涂成白色是利用了光的反射原理，这样可以缓解气候变暖。故选D，
⑸推理判断。根据第7段最后When the polluting industries argue that we've lost the battle to control carbon pollution and have no choice but to adapt, it's a nonsense designed to make the case for business as usual.可知目前一些污染企业说他们已经失去了对碳污染的控制，但作者认为这个说辞是“一派胡言”，说明作者认为污染企业应该行动起来与污染作斗争。故选D。
⑹推理判断。根据文章最后一段 the most sensible form of adaptation is surely to adapt our energy systems to emit less carbon pollution.可知作者认为最合理的应对全球变暖的方法当然还是改变我们的能源体系来减少谈污染的排放，从根源上缓解气候变暖。故选B。

Population Change
Why is the world's population growing？The answer is not what you might think. The reason for the explosion is not that people have been reproducing like rabbits, but that people have stopped dropping dead like flies. In 1900,people died at the average age of 30.By 2000 the average age was 65.But while increasing health was a typical feature of the 20th century, declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st.
Statistics show that the average number of births per woman has fallen from 4.9 in the early 1960s to 2.5 nowadays. Furthermore, around 50% of the world's population live in regions where the figure is now below the replacement level(i.e.2.1 births per woman)and almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate. You might think that developing nations would make up the loss(especially since80% of the world's people now live in such nations),but you'd be wrong, Declining birth rate is a major problem in many developing regions too, which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades.
A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China, for instance. What does it imply First, China needs to undergo rapid economic development before a population decline hits the country. Second, if other factors such as technology remain constant, economic growth and material expectations will fall well below recent standards and this could invite trouble.
Russia is another country with population problems that could break its economic promise. Since 1992 the number of people dying has been bigger than that of those being born by a massive 50%,Indeed official figures suggest the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961.Why is this occurring Nobody is quite sure, but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it. If current trends don't bend. Russia's population will be about the size of Yemen's by the year 2050.
In the north of India, the population is booming due to high birth rates, but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly. In a further twist, birth rate is highest in poorly educated rural areas and lowest in highly educated urban areas. In total,25% of India's working-age population has no education. In 2030,a sixth of the country's potential work force could be totally uneducated.
One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration. As for the USA, it is almost unique among developed nations in having a population that is expected to grow by 20% from 2010-2030,Moreover,the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population and to witness strong economic growth over the longer term.

【知识点】任务型阅读；社会现象类；议论文
【解析】【分析】本文论述世界人口出生率的降低导致劳动力的减少和针对这一问题的解决办法。
⑴根据“declining birth rate could be a defining one of the 21st”可知，21世纪的出生率比20世纪低，且much/ even/far/a lot/ a little等修饰比较级，故填lower。
⑵根据第二段“almost all developed nations are experiencing sub-replacement birth rate”可知，发达国家人口出生率正在下降，即人口难以维持现有的规模，“maintain”一词是做题的依据，故填size/scale。
⑶根据第二段“which might cause catastrophic global shortages of work force within a few decades”中的“within a few decades”可知，出生率的下降对发展中国家和全球的消极影响还没有发生，由此联想到“影响不是立即产生的”。故填immediate
⑷接下来几段分别讲了中国、俄国、印度的人口与经济问题，根据“economic development before a population decline hits the country.”可知答案是economic。
⑸根据第三段 A great decline in young work force is likely to occur in China可知中国的年轻人变得更少了，所以中国的劳动力在老化，故填older。
⑹根据“the country has shrunk by 5% since 1993 and people in Russia live a shorter life now than those in 1961...but poor diet an above all long-time alcoholism have much to do with it”可知，俄罗斯人口由于缩短的寿命而急剧下降。故填earlier
⑺如果俄罗斯人改变他们的生活方式，他们的情况可能会好一些。故填living/life
⑻根据“but in the south, where most economic development is taking place, birth rate is falling rapidly”可知，教育可以降低出生率，因此，可以通过普及教育来抑制人口增长。故填equality
⑼根据“One solution is obviously to import foreign workers via immigration.”可知，通过移民来引入外来工人是解决劳动力短缺的一种方法。故填immigration
⑽根据“Moreover, the USA has a track record of successfully accepting immigrants. As a result it's likely to see a rise in the size of its working-age population”可知，美国的移民政策将会使劳动力有所增加。接纳移民可以弥补劳动力的短缺。故填compensate

【评分标准】
内容完整，语言规范，语篇连贯，词数适当。
【答案】Possible version one:
The box-office income of Chinese movies witnessed a constant increase from about 17 billion yuan in 2012 to over 40 billion in 2015. However, that increase slowed down in 2016.
The reasons behind this are various. The fast economic development before 2016 was probably the most powerful engine driving the constant growth in the box-office income. The application of new technologies and the wide appeal of movie stars could also account for the increase. However, China saw a decline in its economic growth rate last year. And the internet increased options for movie lovers. Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, leading to a slower growth.
China's economy is expected to grow at a medium speed in the coming years, so an increase is possible in the investment in the movie industry and the number of quality movies. Therefore, its box-office income will probably enjoy a slight increase.
【知识点】命题作文；图画式议论文
【解析】【分析】这是一篇图表+文字材料的写作，文字材料这次比较不同的是用了两个对话，从对话中能看出，票房高的原因是特效好，选择范围大，电影院感受好，而且价格也不贵，但是反对方的态度是现在网络发达，在家中看电影很方便，而且不用花钱，并且有很多电影很无聊，不值得去电影院观看。
所以主题是我国票房逐年增长，需要考生首先概括柱状图的信息内容，再谈谈去票房收入变化的原因，简要谈谈看法，并简要谈谈票房走向，需要学生作出预测。
【点评】考查方式让人耳目一新，突出对学习能力的考查。试卷给考生提供多模态的语言输入，要求从柱状图中读出电影票房增速变化的趋势以及两组对话中隐含的增长快与缓的原因。要求考生根据柱状图提出观点、说明理由，优秀考生应关注论据的确凿性、客观性和一致性，关注思维过程的准确性、清晰性、相关性、批判性和创新性，关注语言输出的准确性、流利性和写作内容谋篇布局的合理性与连贯性。
