第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.
21. What is the feature of CX-1?
A. It can be opened by facial expressions.
B. It can recognize and follow its owner.
C. It can move very fast in busy places.
D. It can sense the suitcase’s location.
22. Who would most probably want an Aibo?
A. People who want to walk a dog.
B. People who often play tricks on others.
C. People who want to take high-quality photographs.
D. People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.
23. Which product can help people do physical exercise regularly?
A. CX-1. B. Aibo. C. Forpheus. D. Black Box VR.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D
【解析】这是科技类说明文。文章主要介绍了几款高科技产品。
21.细节理解题。根据CX-1部分The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate.的描述，可知这款产品使用了面部识别软件，可以识别主人，并跟随主人，B项符合题意，故选B。
22.推理判断题。根据Aibo部分的描述，索尼最新版的Aibo机器狗几乎和真狗一样有趣，但工作量要小得多，可以推测出这款产品比较适合想养狗，又没有更多时间照顾的人，D项符合题意，故选D。
23.细节理解题。根据Black Box VR部分Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.可知Black Box VR想要通过把艰苦的锻炼变成有趣的电子游戏来改变人们不能达到健身目标的现状，因此D符和题意，故选D。
B
Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.
Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.
Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pattern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.
Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine, she added.
Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.
24.What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1?
A.Robots’ influence on the scientific development.
B.Robots’ challenges of making sense of humor.
C.Computer scientists’ devotion to technical skills.
D.Computer scientists’ concern about AI’s development.
25.Examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to ___________-.
A.prove robots do poorly in funny work
B.explain robots aren’t as intelligent as humans
C.describe language is complex and changeable
D.show language can’t be taught in a set pattern
26.What does the underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Barrier. B.Record.
C.Message. D.Possibility.
27.What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph?
A.It will end up in vain.
B.It may be a double-edged sword.
C.It may help improve humans’ humor.
D.It will attract more computer scientists.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.A 27.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了教机器人理解幽默存在的挑战以及科学家们对教智能机器人理解幽默的不同观点。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段内容，特别是根据“Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed.”可知，计算机科学家希望赋予机器人技术技能来帮助他们识别、处理幽默，并且能够对幽默做出反应，但这些尝试大多都失败了，由此可知，在本段作者主要是想说明机器人在理解幽默方面存在不小的挑战，故B项正确。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段的“humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand”可知，幽默是一种创造性的语言，计算机很难理解，再根据第三段中的“She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns.”可知，她解释说机器是经过训练来寻找模式的，由此可知，这两段的例子是想表明语言不能以模式化的方式习得，故D项正确。
26.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said.”可知，毕肖普说，有趣的是，幽默也不应该是可预测的，因此此处是说这给机器识别和理解有趣的东西设置了很大的障碍，由此可知画线词词义为“障碍”，故A项正确。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted.”可知，达姆施塔特大学的米勒说，有很好的理由继续尝试教机器人幽默，他指出，这可能会使机器更具亲和力，特别是如果它们能够学会理解讽刺的话，再根据“But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.”可知，但是Kiki Hempelmann的想法不同，他说：“教授人工智能系统幽默可能会让它们在不合适的地方找到幽默，在不合适的地方使用幽默”，他补充说：“也许坏的人工智能会开始杀人，因为它认为有些事情很有趣”，根据这两位科学家的观点可知，教智能机器人幽默有利有弊，因而是一把双刃剑，故B项正确。
C
After having her second child in 2012, Victoria was jobless and lost her clear direction. She found herself suffering depression. “My sister, Karen, suggested I try selling something to do with weddings on eBay,” she said, “when the children were asleep, I learned to design invitations on my laptop. Because I already had a laptop and a printer, the only startup costs were buying some cards and envelopes.”
Victoria listed what she made for sale on eBay, but weeks and months passed and she hardly had any sales. Concerned, Karen suggested she should change the designs but Victoria firmly believed that her design was good.
But in January 2013, everything changed dramatically. “I remember getting out of the bath one night and I’d made nearly ￡200 in orders in the time it had taken to have a bath. Now the demand was so huge that I had to buy a bulk-load of cards and envelopes and purchase another printer. I started to work at 7 pm each night and worked into the early hours.” Victoria believes that her affordable wedding invitations are the key.
Having something else to focus on, the fog of depression soon lifted. By the end of January she had made an impressive ￡8,000 in just one month. The business now turns over an incredible ￡80,000 a year, half of which is profit. She continued: “The money has allowed us to upgrade to a three-bedroom house and we have had some great family holidays.” In October, Victoria was one of eleven eBay sellers recognized at the eBay for Business Awards.
“I want to show to other women with little or no experience that even if you’re struggling as I did, you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully,” smiles Victoria. “I’m a one-woman band but it’s more than enough for me!”
28.What made the most contribution to Victoria’s success?
A.The advice from her sister.
B.The design of the invitations.
C.The help from buyers on eBay.
D.The low price of the invitations.
29.How much can Victoria earn by selling the invitations a year?
A.￡200. B.￡8,000.
C.￡40,000. D.￡80,000.
30.What personality does Victoria probably have?
A.Cautious. B.Sensitive.
C.Easygoing. D.Determined.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Cure for Depression
B.Defeating Depression with Business
C.Selling Wedding Invitations Online
D.An Unforgettable Experience
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.D 31.B
【解析】本题是一篇记叙文。讲述了主人公在有了孩子之后，失去工作且内心郁闷，但通过自己努力成为eBay最受欢迎的网点店主之一，并且内心也逐渐“明朗”了起来。
28.细节理解题。根据原文“Victoria believes that her affordable wedding invitations are the key. ”（维多利亚相信她价格划算的婚礼请柬是（成功经营）关键）。据此，可判断低价的请柬对她网店的成功经营有较大贡献。故选D项。
29.细节理解题。根据原文“The business now turns over an incredible ￡80,000 a year, half of which is profit.”（如今，每年可观经营额达到80000英镑，其中一半是利润）可知主人公一年可以赚到40000英镑。故选C项。
30.推理判断题。根据原文的After having her second child in 2012, Victoria was jobless and lost her clear direction. She found herself suffering depression. “I want to show to other women with little or no experience that even if you’re struggling as I did, you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully.”（2012年生完第二个孩子后，维多利亚失去了工作，失去了明确的方向。她发现自己患了抑郁症。我想要向那些没有经验的女性朋友们证明，即使和我一样在为生活奔波，你可以成功成为一名母亲也可以成为一名女商人，同时也可以兼顾两者）侧面凸显了她虽遇种种困难，但她始终还是“有勇有谋”闯过了一个又一个关卡。由此判断出她内心坚定。故选D项。
31.主旨大意题。根据原文的“Having something else to focus on, the fog of depression soon lifted”（有所专注，内心的郁闷也消失了）以及“you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully”（你可以成功成为一名母亲也可以成为一名女商人，同时也可以兼顾两者），可以得出女主人公通过经营网店克服自己的心里问题，同时也获得事业上成功。所以短文的最佳标题为“用事业战胜抑郁”。故选B项。
D
Reading instruction in the classroom is a key concern for all teachers and there are many ways to go about it. However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?
In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.
Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in children’s early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.
As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that don’t help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.
Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.
Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.
While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools aren’t to blame when it comes to not arresting students’ lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.
32.What does the underlined word “inclination” mean?
A.Energy B.Task
C.Intention D.Requirement
33.What does the term “Readicide” refer to?
A.To develop reading habits B.To read for pleasure
C.To learn reading skills D.To kill a love for books
34.According to the text, teachers at school ______.
A.focus on teaching reading strategies
B.ignore key concepts for analyzing texts
C.are to blame for students’ poor reading
D.fail to follow the traditional reading practices
25.What might be suitable title for the text?
A.Reading books is to experience pleasure
B.Learning to love books is even more important
C.Teaching reading helps reluctant readers
D.Getting pleasure from books makes capable readers
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.A 35.B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。课堂阅读教学是所有教师关注的焦点问题，有许多方法可以解决这一问题。然而，我们在孩子阅读技巧上追求卓越的决心是否扼杀了他们对一本好书的热爱和享受呢？作者针对这一话题展开了论述。
32.词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句话In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books.(在我与父母的工作中，我经常被问到鼓励不情愿的读者读书的最佳方法)计划线词所在句Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.可推知，该句意为“父母们报告说，他们的孩子放学回家后，没有拿起一本书看的意思”。由此推知，划线词意为“倾向，爱好”。故选C。
33..词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段中的He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.可知，他说：这是对阅读爱好的系统性扼杀，而在学校里发现的愚蠢、无聊的行为往往会使这种扼杀进一步恶化。由此可知，“Readicide”一词指的是扼杀对书籍爱好。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.可知，老师们经常会感到压力，要求他们在阅读策略上给学生“刚刚好”的分数，以使他们能够通过考试，这样一来，他们就几乎没有时间把注意力放在娱乐阅读上了。由此可知，教师在学校里主要注重阅读策略的教学。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?(然而，我们在孩子阅读技巧上追求卓越的决心是否扼杀了他们对一本好书的热爱和享受呢？)及第三段中的We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers.(我们需要与孩子们分享这些经验，以帮助他们成长为强大的读者)可知，本文主要论述了教会孩子们热爱阅读的重要性。由此可知，B项Learning to love books is even more important(学会爱书是更重要的)适合做本文标题。故选B。
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
36 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 37 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
39 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. 40 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A. That’s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interested in?
E. Some vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.
答案与解析：
【文章大意】假期来临, 对于“我们”而言最好的就是开办一个自己的俱乐部, 并邀请朋友们加入。
36. E 根据后面的during the school holidays可知这里讲的是假期生活, 所以选E开头, 假期生活即将开始, 较为合适。
37. D 这里讲的是俱乐部的主题内容, 所以选项D正确。
38. A 根据后面的All you need is可知这里表达的是非常简单的意思, 所以选A。
39. F 根据write down every name you can think up可知这一段写的是起名工作, 所以选F。
40. G 由上下文知这里讲的是制作会员卡, 在剩余的选项中只有G最合适。
第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
During my lifetime, I’ve learned something important: it’s good to learn new skills outside of your comfort zone. About seven years ago, I started learning how to paint as a 41. I was pretty terrible. Everything looked 42 , and my colors were totally off. My friends and colleagues suggested that I stop 43 my time on something I wasn’t good at. “ 44 on your day job,” they said.
I kept at it — practicing, taking classes, finding the right 45 who could guide and challenge me. I am now 46 “good”. Today, the same friends say I was born with this 47 .
The same thing 48 when I started piano and singing lessons a couple of years ago. Comments shifted from, “Stop wasting your time and focus on what you know,” to “You’ve got a musical gene.”
These 49 originate from long-held beliefs that growth is usually not possible for adults. Even when there is evidence of learning, it can be 50 to inborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than 51 , suggesting that even scientists may think that development is limited in adulthood.
A few recent studies suggest that 52 new skills, such as photography, for even three months may enhance the functioning of the brain in adults.
I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) 53 cause of cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills 54 to children. If we can 55 how to learn well as adults, then perhaps we can 56 cognitive decline.
Adults are often 57 to go outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking 58 for making mistakes; we fear failure could cost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is that we do not engage in learning new skills for many years.
To better communicate with my German friends, I am starting to learn German. I’m 59 at the“listening and babbling (咿呀学语)” phase. Sure, some may laugh at an adult babbling, but I hope one day I can 60 German fluently, and inspire many other adults to learn like a baby.

42. A. perfect B. bright C. dull D. enjoyable
43. A. taking B. wasting C. putting D. getting

48. A. happened B. found C. mentioned D. showed
49. A. suggestions B. achievements C. results D. comments
50. A. reported B. attributed C. forced D. addicted

69.考查副词。句意：然而，对于其他很多人来说，让科比成为传奇人物的是他的精神。根据句意可知，上下文是转折关系，故填however/nevertheless。
70.考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，此处应用非谓语动词作状语，逻辑主语Bryant和know之间是被动关系，应用被动语态，故填Known。

I bought a book Sister Carrie in your online bookshop for its convenient and good service. I am very glad to receive it yesterday. Therefore, when I opened the package, I was sorry to find something wrong for it.
Firstly, the cover of the novel is breaking and there are some dirty spots on it due to the poor packaging. In an addition, some pages are missing, that makes it impossible to read.
I would like you change it for a new one and post it to me as soon as possible. Please do check the book and being careful with the packaging beforehand this time. I hope you can live up to the expectation of my customer.
【答案】1.convenient→convenience
2.am→was
3.Therefore→However
4.for→with
5.breaking→broken
6.将an删除
7.that→which
8.在you后加to
9.being→be
10.my→your
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇应用文。作者在网上买了一本书，但书的质量有问题，因此要求退换。
【详解】
第一处：考查名词。its是形容词性物主代词，后跟名词。故将convenient改为convenience。
第二处：考查时态。句意：昨天收到它我很高兴。根据时间状语yesterday可知，要用一般过去式。故将am改为was。
第三处：考查副词。句意：然而，当我打开包裹时，我很抱歉发现它有问题。根据上一句句意（昨天收到它我很高兴。）可知，和本句之间是转折关系，故将Therefore改为However。
第四处：考查介词。句意同上。表示“…….有问题”常用介词with，结合句意。故将for改为with。
第五处：考查形容词。句意：首先，小说的封面坏了。分析句式可知，此处是做句子的表语，需用break的过去分词充当的形容词作表语。故将breaking改为broken。
第六处：考查固定短语。in addition是固定短语，意思是“此外”，因此，an是多余的。故将an删除。
第七处：考查定语从句。句意：此外，一些页面丢失了，这使它不可能阅读。这是个定语从句，关系词指代整个主句的内容，从句中缺少主语，用which引导。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故将that改为which。
第八处：考查固定结构。would like sb to do sth是固定结构，意思是“想要某人做某事”。故在you后加to。
第九处：考查动词。and连接两个并列结构，根据and前的do check可知，此处用动词原形。故将being改为be。
第十处：考查代词。句意：我希望你们能不辜负客户的期望。根据句意可知，不辜负你的客户。故将my改为your。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Are you interested in hi-tech products? Here are some that you might find at the market pretty soon.
CX-1
Tired of dragging your bag through busy airports? Then you might want to consider CX-1. The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate. Though CX-1 can only move at a speed of up to seven miles per hour, a tiny tool enables owners to keep track of the suitcase’s location. It is expected to be sold on the market by late 2018.
Aibo
Sony’s latest version of the Aibo robotic dog is almost as fun as the real thing—but much less work. The pet dog can recognize its owner, obey several commands, and even recall the behavior that pleases its master the most. Aibo can also learn new tricks, take photographs, and over time, develop its own unique personality.
Forpheus
Forpheus, an “athletic” robot developed by Japanese technology company Omron. It teaches users how to play ping-pong. The 10-feet-tall machine uses a camera and artificial intelligence to track the ball’s speed and can predict the ball’s direction correctly. The smart Forpheus can also quickly test its player’s abilities and adjust the playing level, making the game fun.
Black Box VR
Though many people determine to go to the gym once a week, few reach their goal. Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.
21. What is the feature of CX-1?
A. It can be opened by facial expressions.
B. It can recognize and follow its owner.
C. It can move very fast in busy places.
D. It can sense the suitcase’s location.
22. Who would most probably want an Aibo?
A. People who want to walk a dog.
B. People who often play tricks on others.
C. People who want to take high-quality photographs.
D. People who want a dog but can’t look after a real one.
23. Which product can help people do physical exercise regularly?
A. CX-1. B. Aibo. C. Forpheus. D. Black Box VR.
【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D
【解析】这是科技类说明文。文章主要介绍了几款高科技产品。
21.细节理解题。根据CX-1部分The smart suitcase uses facial recognizing software to follow its owner as he / she is checking in or heading to the gate.的描述，可知这款产品使用了面部识别软件，可以识别主人，并跟随主人，B项符合题意，故选B。
22.推理判断题。根据Aibo部分的描述，索尼最新版的Aibo机器狗几乎和真狗一样有趣，但工作量要小得多，可以推测出这款产品比较适合想养狗，又没有更多时间照顾的人，D项符合题意，故选D。
23.细节理解题。根据Black Box VR部分Black Box VR wants to change that by turning hard exercise into fun video games. Using it, gym users will find themselves fighting enemies, including big creatures—all while getting exercise.可知Black Box VR想要通过把艰苦的锻炼变成有趣的电子游戏来改变人们不能达到健身目标的现状，因此D符和题意，故选D。
B
Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed. AI (人工智能) experts say that in many cases, attempts to make robots understand humor end up producing funny results, but not in the way they were supposed to.
Tristan Miller studied more than 10,000 puns (双关语) in one research project. The pun is a kind of joke that uses a word with two meanings. For example, you could say, “Balloons do not like pop music.” The word “pop” can be a way of saying popular music; or can mean the sound a balloon makes when it explodes. But a robot might not get the joke. Tristan Miller says that is because humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand.
Allison Bishop is a computer scientist and she also performs stand-up comedy. She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns. Comedy, on the other hand, relies on things that stay dose to a pattern, kit not completely within it. To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said. This sets a great obstacle for a machine to recognize and understand what is funny.
Bishop says since robots have great difficulty understanding humor, she feels like it gives her better job security as a comedy performer. It even made her parents happy when her brother decided to become a full-time comedy writer because it meant he wouldn’t be replaced by a machine, she added.
Despite the difficulties, Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted. Humans use sarcasm to say one thing but mean another. But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.
24.What does the author most probably want to show in Paragraph 1?
A.Robots’ influence on the scientific development.
B.Robots’ challenges of making sense of humor.
C.Computer scientists’ devotion to technical skills.
D.Computer scientists’ concern about AI’s development.
25.Examples mentioned in Paragraphs 2 and 3 are intended to ___________-.
A.prove robots do poorly in funny work
B.explain robots aren’t as intelligent as humans
C.describe language is complex and changeable
D.show language can’t be taught in a set pattern
26.What does the underlined word “obstacle” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Barrier. B.Record.
C.Message. D.Possibility.
27.What can we infer about teaching AI system humor from the last paragraph?
A.It will end up in vain.
B.It may be a double-edged sword.
C.It may help improve humans’ humor.
D.It will attract more computer scientists.
【答案】24.B 25.D 26.A 27.B
【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了教机器人理解幽默存在的挑战以及科学家们对教智能机器人理解幽默的不同观点。
24.推理判断题。根据第一段内容，特别是根据“Computer scientists have hoped to give robots technical skills to help them recognize, process and react to humor. But these attempts have mostly failed.”可知，计算机科学家希望赋予机器人技术技能来帮助他们识别、处理幽默，并且能够对幽默做出反应，但这些尝试大多都失败了，由此可知，在本段作者主要是想说明机器人在理解幽默方面存在不小的挑战，故B项正确。
25.推理判断题。根据第二段的“humor is a kind of creative language that is extremely difficult for computer intelligence to understand”可知，幽默是一种创造性的语言，计算机很难理解，再根据第三段中的“She explained that machines are trained to look for patterns.”可知，她解释说机器是经过训练来寻找模式的，由此可知，这两段的例子是想表明语言不能以模式化的方式习得，故D项正确。
26.词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“To be funny, humor should also not be predictable, Bishop said.”可知，毕肖普说，有趣的是，幽默也不应该是可预测的，因此此处是说这给机器识别和理解有趣的东西设置了很大的障碍，由此可知画线词词义为“障碍”，故A项正确。
27.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Darmstadt University’s Miller says there are good reasons to keep trying to teach humor to robots. It could make machines more relatable, especially if they can learn to understand sarcasm (讽刺), he noted.”可知，达姆施塔特大学的米勒说，有很好的理由继续尝试教机器人幽默，他指出，这可能会使机器更具亲和力，特别是如果它们能够学会理解讽刺的话，再根据“But Kiki Hempelmann thinks differently. “Teaching AI systems humor may make them find it where it isn’t, and they may use it where it’s inappropriate,” he said. “Maybe bad AI will start killing people because it thinks something is funny,” he added.”可知，但是Kiki Hempelmann的想法不同，他说：“教授人工智能系统幽默可能会让它们在不合适的地方找到幽默，在不合适的地方使用幽默”，他补充说：“也许坏的人工智能会开始杀人，因为它认为有些事情很有趣”，根据这两位科学家的观点可知，教智能机器人幽默有利有弊，因而是一把双刃剑，故B项正确。
C
After having her second child in 2012, Victoria was jobless and lost her clear direction. She found herself suffering depression. “My sister, Karen, suggested I try selling something to do with weddings on eBay,” she said, “when the children were asleep, I learned to design invitations on my laptop. Because I already had a laptop and a printer, the only startup costs were buying some cards and envelopes.”
Victoria listed what she made for sale on eBay, but weeks and months passed and she hardly had any sales. Concerned, Karen suggested she should change the designs but Victoria firmly believed that her design was good.
But in January 2013, everything changed dramatically. “I remember getting out of the bath one night and I’d made nearly ￡200 in orders in the time it had taken to have a bath. Now the demand was so huge that I had to buy a bulk-load of cards and envelopes and purchase another printer. I started to work at 7 pm each night and worked into the early hours.” Victoria believes that her affordable wedding invitations are the key.
Having something else to focus on, the fog of depression soon lifted. By the end of January she had made an impressive ￡8,000 in just one month. The business now turns over an incredible ￡80,000 a year, half of which is profit. She continued: “The money has allowed us to upgrade to a three-bedroom house and we have had some great family holidays.” In October, Victoria was one of eleven eBay sellers recognized at the eBay for Business Awards.
“I want to show to other women with little or no experience that even if you’re struggling as I did, you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully,” smiles Victoria. “I’m a one-woman band but it’s more than enough for me!”
28.What made the most contribution to Victoria’s success?
A.The advice from her sister.
B.The design of the invitations.
C.The help from buyers on eBay.
D.The low price of the invitations.
29.How much can Victoria earn by selling the invitations a year?
A.￡200. B.￡8,000.
C.￡40,000. D.￡80,000.
30.What personality does Victoria probably have?
A.Cautious. B.Sensitive.
C.Easygoing. D.Determined.
31.What is the best title for the text?
A.The Cure for Depression
B.Defeating Depression with Business
C.Selling Wedding Invitations Online
D.An Unforgettable Experience
【答案】28.D 29.C 30.D 31.B
【解析】本题是一篇记叙文。讲述了主人公在有了孩子之后，失去工作且内心郁闷，但通过自己努力成为eBay最受欢迎的网点店主之一，并且内心也逐渐“明朗”了起来。
28.细节理解题。根据原文“Victoria believes that her affordable wedding invitations are the key. ”（维多利亚相信她价格划算的婚礼请柬是（成功经营）关键）。据此，可判断低价的请柬对她网店的成功经营有较大贡献。故选D项。
29.细节理解题。根据原文“The business now turns over an incredible ￡80,000 a year, half of which is profit.”（如今，每年可观经营额达到80000英镑，其中一半是利润）可知主人公一年可以赚到40000英镑。故选C项。
30.推理判断题。根据原文的After having her second child in 2012, Victoria was jobless and lost her clear direction. She found herself suffering depression. “I want to show to other women with little or no experience that even if you’re struggling as I did, you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully.”（2012年生完第二个孩子后，维多利亚失去了工作，失去了明确的方向。她发现自己患了抑郁症。我想要向那些没有经验的女性朋友们证明，即使和我一样在为生活奔波，你可以成功成为一名母亲也可以成为一名女商人，同时也可以兼顾两者）侧面凸显了她虽遇种种困难，但她始终还是“有勇有谋”闯过了一个又一个关卡。由此判断出她内心坚定。故选D项。
31.主旨大意题。根据原文的“Having something else to focus on, the fog of depression soon lifted”（有所专注，内心的郁闷也消失了）以及“you can be a mother and a businesswoman and do both successfully”（你可以成功成为一名母亲也可以成为一名女商人，同时也可以兼顾两者），可以得出女主人公通过经营网店克服自己的心里问题，同时也获得事业上成功。所以短文的最佳标题为“用事业战胜抑郁”。故选B项。
D
Reading instruction in the classroom is a key concern for all teachers and there are many ways to go about it. However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?
In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.
Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in children’s early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.
As children progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that don’t help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.
Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.
Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.
While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools aren’t to blame when it comes to not arresting students’ lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.
32.What does the underlined word “inclination” mean?
A.Energy B.Task
C.Intention D.Requirement
33.What does the term “Readicide” refer to?
A.To develop reading habits B.To read for pleasure
C.To learn reading skills D.To kill a love for books
34.According to the text, teachers at school ______.
A.focus on teaching reading strategies
B.ignore key concepts for analyzing texts
C.are to blame for students’ poor reading
D.fail to follow the traditional reading practices
25.What might be suitable title for the text?
A.Reading books is to experience pleasure
B.Learning to love books is even more important
C.Teaching reading helps reluctant readers
D.Getting pleasure from books makes capable readers
【答案】32.C 33.D 34.A 35.B
【解析】本文是一篇议论文。课堂阅读教学是所有教师关注的焦点问题，有许多方法可以解决这一问题。然而，我们在孩子阅读技巧上追求卓越的决心是否扼杀了他们对一本好书的热爱和享受呢？作者针对这一话题展开了论述。
32.词义猜测题。根据第二段第一句话In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books.(在我与父母的工作中，我经常被问到鼓励不情愿的读者读书的最佳方法)计划线词所在句Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.可推知，该句意为“父母们报告说，他们的孩子放学回家后，没有拿起一本书看的意思”。由此推知，划线词意为“倾向，爱好”。故选C。
33..词义猜测题。根据倒数第三段中的He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.可知，他说：这是对阅读爱好的系统性扼杀，而在学校里发现的愚蠢、无聊的行为往往会使这种扼杀进一步恶化。由此可知，“Readicide”一词指的是扼杀对书籍爱好。故选D。
34.推理判断题。根据第四段中的Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to be able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.可知，老师们经常会感到压力，要求他们在阅读策略上给学生“刚刚好”的分数，以使他们能够通过考试，这样一来，他们就几乎没有时间把注意力放在娱乐阅读上了。由此可知，教师在学校里主要注重阅读策略的教学。故选A。
35.主旨大意题。根据第一段中的However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?(然而，我们在孩子阅读技巧上追求卓越的决心是否扼杀了他们对一本好书的热爱和享受呢？)及第三段中的We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers.(我们需要与孩子们分享这些经验，以帮助他们成长为强大的读者)可知，本文主要论述了教会孩子们热爱阅读的重要性。由此可知，B项Learning to love books is even more important(学会爱书是更重要的)适合做本文标题。故选B。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
36 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It’s great fun especially if you are the sort of person who feels there’s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 37 Pets, clothes, pop music or dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 38 All you need is three or four other people who are interested in the same thing as you.
39 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down every name you can think up. That’ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important and again you can spend a lot of time making them. 40 Why not leave some space for a photo of yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you’ll think of loads of more interesting things to do!
A. That’s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interested in?
E. Some vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design.
答案与解析：
【文章大意】假期来临, 对于“我们”而言最好的就是开办一个自己的俱乐部, 并邀请朋友们加入。
36. E 根据后面的during the school holidays可知这里讲的是假期生活, 所以选E开头, 假期生活即将开始, 较为合适。
37. D 这里讲的是俱乐部的主题内容, 所以选项D正确。
38. A 根据后面的All you need is可知这里表达的是非常简单的意思, 所以选A。
39. F 根据write down every name you can think up可知这一段写的是起名工作, 所以选F。
40. G 由上下文知这里讲的是制作会员卡, 在剩余的选项中只有G最合适。
第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
During my lifetime, I’ve learned something important: it’s good to learn new skills outside of your comfort zone. About seven years ago, I started learning how to paint as a 41. I was pretty terrible. Everything looked 42 , and my colors were totally off. My friends and colleagues suggested that I stop 43 my time on something I wasn’t good at. “ 44 on your day job,” they said.
I kept at it — practicing, taking classes, finding the right 45 who could guide and challenge me. I am now 46 “good”. Today, the same friends say I was born with this 47 .
The same thing 48 when I started piano and singing lessons a couple of years ago. Comments shifted from, “Stop wasting your time and focus on what you know,” to “You’ve got a musical gene.”
These 49 originate from long-held beliefs that growth is usually not possible for adults. Even when there is evidence of learning, it can be 50 to inborn talent. Most scientific studies on adulthood focus on cognitive (认知) decline, rather than 51 , suggesting that even scientists may think that development is limited in adulthood.
A few recent studies suggest that 52 new skills, such as photography, for even three months may enhance the functioning of the brain in adults.
I would take these studies one step further to argue that a(n) 53 cause of cognitive decline is the fact that adults learn fewer new skills 54 to children. If we can 55 how to learn well as adults, then perhaps we can 56 cognitive decline.
Adults are often 57 to go outside of their comfort zones. We fear looking 58 for making mistakes; we fear failure could cost us our jobs. Perhaps a reason why we suffer from cognitive decline is that we do not engage in learning new skills for many years.
To better communicate with my German friends, I am starting to learn German. I’m 59 at the“listening and babbling (咿呀学语)” phase. Sure, some may laugh at an adult babbling, but I hope one day I can 60 German fluently, and inspire many other adults to learn like a baby.

【解析】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了科比去世后，他的球迷举行各种活动来纪念他。4月1日有人更新了他的社交媒体，向球迷宣布了关于他的体育传奇小说The Wizenard Series: Season One。很多球迷希望可以通过这本书延续科比的传奇，但有人也认为让科比成为传奇的是他的精神。
61.考查名词的数。activity“活动”是可数名词，根据various判断此处用复数形式，故填activities。
62.考查介词。根据April 1判断此处应填介词on，on April 1“在四月1日”，故填on。
63.考查冠词。此处考查固定表达around the globe“全世界”，故填the。
64.考查时态和语态。分析句子可知，此处是定语从句的谓语动词，主语who代指先行词coach Rolabi，是第三人称单数，且和base之间是被动关系，根据上文的revolves判断此处为一般现在时，故填is based。

I bought a book Sister Carrie in your online bookshop for its convenient and good service. I am very glad to receive it yesterday. Therefore, when I opened the package, I was sorry to find something wrong for it.
Firstly, the cover of the novel is breaking and there are some dirty spots on it due to the poor packaging. In an addition, some pages are missing, that makes it impossible to read.
I would like you change it for a new one and post it to me as soon as possible. Please do check the book and being careful with the packaging beforehand this time. I hope you can live up to the expectation of my customer.
【答案】1.convenient→convenience
2.am→was
3.Therefore→However
4.for→with
5.breaking→broken
6.将an删除
7.that→which
8.在you后加to
9.being→be
10.my→your
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇应用文。作者在网上买了一本书，但书的质量有问题，因此要求退换。
【详解】
第一处：考查名词。its是形容词性物主代词，后跟名词。故将convenient改为convenience。
第二处：考查时态。句意：昨天收到它我很高兴。根据时间状语yesterday可知，要用一般过去式。故将am改为was。
第三处：考查副词。句意：然而，当我打开包裹时，我很抱歉发现它有问题。根据上一句句意（昨天收到它我很高兴。）可知，和本句之间是转折关系，故将Therefore改为However。
第四处：考查介词。句意同上。表示“…….有问题”常用介词with，结合句意。故将for改为with。
第五处：考查形容词。句意：首先，小说的封面坏了。分析句式可知，此处是做句子的表语，需用break的过去分词充当的形容词作表语。故将breaking改为broken。
第六处：考查固定短语。in addition是固定短语，意思是“此外”，因此，an是多余的。故将an删除。
第七处：考查定语从句。句意：此外，一些页面丢失了，这使它不可能阅读。这是个定语从句，关系词指代整个主句的内容，从句中缺少主语，用which引导。that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故将that改为which。
第八处：考查固定结构。would like sb to do sth是固定结构，意思是“想要某人做某事”。故在you后加to。
第九处：考查动词。and连接两个并列结构，根据and前的do check可知，此处用动词原形。故将being改为be。
第十处：考查代词。句意：我希望你们能不辜负客户的期望。根据句意可知，不辜负你的客户。故将my改为your。
