A
From carefully reconstructed sites like Chichen Itza to the ceremonial temples of Calakmul, these are the ancient Maya ruins not to miss in Mexico.
Chichen Itza
Named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, the beautifully preserved Chichen Itza in Yucatán is Mexico’s most famous Maya ruins. Despite the crowds, few are dissatisfied with El Castillo — a carefully restored pyramid that rises up 80ft and has 365 steps — the largest Maya ball court in the Americas.
Tulum
Built in the 13th century, Tulum was one of the last cities where the Maya people lived and the only one built on the coast. The pyramids here aren’t as large as other Maya ruins in Mexico, but the setting, on 40ft-high cliffs (悬崖) above the Caribbean waters south of Cancun, more than makes up for it.
Cobá
Home to the tallest pyramid in the state of Quintana Roo, Cobá was once one of the most important Maya cities in Yucatán. Located around 30 miles west of Tulum ruins, the city was built in around 600 CE and it eventually grew to 50,000 people living there. Though much of Cobá has yet to be excavated (发掘), travellers can climb the 138ft-high Nohoch Mul — a pyramid that offers sweeping views over the Yucatán rainforest.
Calakmul
In Campeche’s Calakmul Biosphere Reserve near the border with Guatemala, Calakmul is one of Mexico’s wildest Maya ruins. It has the largest and tallest pyramid in Yucatán and more than 6,000 buildings, many of them covered by rainforest. The site is particularly beautiful at sunrise, when the surrounding forest comes alive with birdsong.
1. Which is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World?
A. Cobá. B. Tulum. C. Calakmul. D. Chichen Itza.
2. What is special about Tulum?
A. It features 365 steps. B. It was hit by a flood in 2007.
C. It was built on the coast. D. It lies in the north of Cancun.
3. What can you do at Calakmul?
A. Tour the largest Maya ball court. B. Visit the tallest pyramid in Yucatán.
C. Climb the 138ft-high Nohoch Mul. D. Have a bird’s-eye view of Yucatán.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇应用文。主要介绍了四个墨西哥不容错过的古玛雅遗址。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据Chichen Itza部分中“Named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, the beautifully preserved Chichen Itza in Yucatán is Mexico’s most famous Maya ruins.(2007年被评为世界新七大奇迹之一,位于Yucatán的奇琴伊察保存完好,是墨西哥最著名的玛雅遗址)”可知,2007年Chichen Itza入选世界新七大奇迹。故选D。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据Tulum部分中“Built in the 13th century, Tulum was one of the last cities where the Maya people lived and the only one built on the coast.(图卢姆建于13世纪,是玛雅人最后居住的城市之一,也是唯一一座建在海岸上的城市)”可知,Tulum 是唯一一座建在海滨的玛雅古城。故选C。
【3题详解】
细节理解题。根据Calakmul部分中“It has the largest and tallest pyramid in Yucatán and more than 6,000 buildings, many of them covered by rainforest.(它拥有Yucatán中最大和最高的金字塔,以及6000多座建筑,其中许多都被雨林覆盖)”可知,在Calakmul能参观Yucatán 地区最高的金字塔。故选B。
B
Scientists have taken pictures of a star that is farther away than any single star ever seen. They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger. The star, which has been called Icarus, is nine billion light years away. A light year is a very long distance — about 6 trillion miles. That’s how far light can travel in one year in space.
Icarus was created when the universe was very young. The star was a blue “supergiant” — much bigger and brighter than the sun. It took the light from the star about 9 billion years to reach the earth. It may seem strange, but the star is not even there any more. Actually, the light it made is still traveling through space.
Patrick Kelly worked with other scientists and NASA to spot the star. They used a telescope (望远镜) that NASA had put into space, called the Hubble Space Telescope. Mr. Kelly said, “This star is at least 100 times farther away than the next star we can study.” Icarus was so far away that the scientists needed more than just the Hubble Telescope to spot it.
The scientists were able to see the star because of gravity. Gravity doesn’t just pull things toward each other, it can also bend (使弯曲) light. When the light gets bent, it can make things look bigger. Scientists call this gravitational lensing.
Something really big was needed to magnify (放大) a star so far away — something even bigger than a galaxy! A galaxy is a huge group of stars. It was a whole group of galaxies that bent the light so that Icarus was big enough to see. The group of galaxies made it look 2,000 times bigger.
Scientists are excited about a new space telescope that NASA is planning. They hope that it may help them see Icarus better.
4. What makes it possible for scientists to see the star Icarus?
A. Gravity. B. Open space.
C. A spaceship. D. A short distance.
5. How do scientists benefit from gravitational lensing?
A. They can know the speed of light. B. They use it to track objects in space.
C. They can change the direction of light. D. They follow it to get close to the telescope.
6. What do scientists expect of the new telescope?
A. It will unlock the hidden secret of gravity. B. It will replace the current space telescope.
C. It will recognize the gravity on the moon. D. It will enable them to further study the star.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a space station. B. To announce a space mission.
C. To share a scientific discovery. D. To explain a new study on light.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。科学家们拍摄了一颗恒星的照片,这颗恒星比以往任何一颗恒星都要遥远,被称为伊卡洛斯。科学家们通过引力透镜效应才能观察到这颗恒星。文章对此进行了详细介绍。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger.(他们之所以能看到这颗恒星,是因为重力让它看起来更大)”可知,重力使科学家能够看到伊卡洛斯星。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“The scientists were able to see the star because of gravity. Gravity doesn’t just pull things toward each other, it can also bend (使弯曲) light. When the light gets bent, it can make things look bigger. Scientists call this gravitational lensing.(由于重力的作用,科学家们能够看到那颗恒星。重力不仅能把物体拉向彼此,还能使光线弯曲。当光线弯曲时,它可以使物体看起来更大。科学家称之为引力透镜)”可知,科学家通过引力透镜效应来追踪太空中的物体。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Scientists are excited about a new space telescope that NASA is planning. They hope that it may help them see Icarus better.(科学家们对美国国家航空航天局正在计划的一架新的太空望远镜感到兴奋。他们希望这能帮助他们更好地了解伊卡洛斯)”可知,科学家们希望新的太空望远镜能让他们进一步研究这颗恒星。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Scientists have taken pictures of a star that is farther away than any single star ever seen. They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger. The star, which has been called Icarus, is nine billion light years away. A light year is a very long distance — about 6 trillion miles. That’s how far light can travel in one year in space.(科学家们拍摄了一颗恒星的照片,这颗恒星比以往任何一颗恒星都要遥远。他们之所以能看到这颗恒星,是因为重力让它看起来更大。这颗被称为伊卡洛斯的恒星距离我们90亿光年。一光年是很长的距离——大约6万亿英里。这就是光在太空中一年内所能传播的距离)”可推知,这篇文章是为了分享一个新的天文发现。故选C。
C
“Why do Asians usually steam (清蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in various ways?” asked Andy Ricker, who ran several famous Thai restaurants in America. “It can be fried or roasted. But if you live on a coast, or have access to first-rate fish, steaming is the best way to go.”
Another reason is that, in the right context, fish stand for good luck. The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation, and a fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for plenty of good things to come. Therefore, enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers, which mean hopes for abundance in the year ahead.
Such lucky dishes are not unique to Asians. On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating Hoppin’ John, a delicious dish of rice and black-eyed beans (豆), cooked with salted pork or smoked ham(interest in African-American culture has made the recipe popular elsewhere). The beans symbolize coins, and the greens that are usually served as well stand for dollar bills. Some people even put a clean coin in the pot. Whoever gets it on their plate will enjoy a lot of good luck.
Diverse as these dishes are, they all represent hopes for good fortune. Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or sought with difficulty. Good fortune, they suggest, lies all around, and is always within reach.
Whether anyone actually believes in the relationship between eating these foods and receiving the promised benefits is unclear. Mainly, these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children.
8. What does the underlined word “abundance” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Delicious meals. B. Food left at the end of a meal.
C. A lot of good things. D. General situation related to an event.
9. What can we learn about Hoppin’ John?
A. It is a kind of vegetable. B. It is a piece of delicious meat
C. It is a unique lucky name D. It is an African-American dish.
10. Which of the following can best describe the lucky dishes?
A. Ordinary. B. Expensive. C. Rare. D. Fresh.
11. Why do most people follow the tradition according to the author?
A. Their parents told them to do so.
B. Their children want to carry them on.
C. They value the experience behind the food.
D. They truly believe in the food-for-luck stories.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了不同国家和地区的人在庆祝新年时都不约而同地看重“幸运菜”的原因。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据画线词前“The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation, and a fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for plenty of good things to come. (汉语中“鱼”和“丰富”的发音相同,在农历新年前夕吃的鱼,代表着对很多美好事物的愿望。)”可推断,过年时烹饪足够的鱼意味着希望来年有很多好事发生。abundance指的是“非常多的好事”。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating Hoppin’ John, a delicious dish of rice and black-eyed beans (豆), cooked with salted pork or smoked ham(interest in African-American culture has made the recipe popular elsewhere).(在美国的元旦那天,南方黑人一直在吃跳花约翰,这是一道美味的米饭和黑眼豆(豆),用咸猪肉或烟熏火腿烹饪(对非裔美国人文化的兴趣使得这个食谱在其他地方很受欢迎)。) ”可知,Hoppin’ John是在非裔美国人中流行的一道菜。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or sought with difficulty.(鱼、豆类和蔬菜既不昂贵也不特别,这表明运气不是昂贵或困难的东西。)”可知,这些制作“幸运菜”的食材都很普通、易得。故选A。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Mainly, these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children,(主要是,这些食物传统继续下去的原因和其他传统一样:人们有和父母一起庆祝它们的美好回忆,并想把它们传给自己的孩子。)”可推断,人们看重的是这些传统背后的情感记忆。故选C。
D
Pindar Van Arman is a painter, but he’s also a software designer. He has built some machines and worked on a DARPA challenge team in California to build a self-driving car. His latest project? A robot painter, BitPaintr.
BitPaintr is Van Arman’s fifth robot in 10 years. Earlier versions included devices that produced simpler paintings with algorithms (算法). But the idea for BitPaintr is simple: A user just uploads a picture, and it can paint totally on its own and develop its own style.
Although his friends joke that he has invented a really expensive, slow, bad painter, Van Arman says teaching a machine how to be creative has helped him get to the bottom of what creativity is — and appreciate it.
“When you’re trying to teach a machine to do something that’s easy for humans, it really makes you sit back and see what humans are doing,” he says.
So what is creativity, then, if a robot with a paintbrush can be — or appear to be — just as creative as a human with a paintbrush?
Mark Riedl, a professor at the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing, says it depends on how you define creativity. “There is creativity and Creativity,” Riedl says. “Being ‘creative’ usually has something to do with the little things that we do hundreds of times in our daily lives. They could be creative, but usually aren’t. To be ‘Creative’ is to have an imagination that will have a huge impact on a social level — the Picassos and the Mozarts of the world; the people who have produced something that’s taken on this additional level of meaning.”
Riedl admits what robots create is far from human-level quality art, but he sees robots entering the creative process as a positive thing.
“We want the computers to keep up with us,” he says. “And thanks to researchers like Van Arman, it seems like they will, although they will not replace us, but to help us to be more creative.”
12. Which is a new quality of BitPaintr?
A. Simplicity. B. Creativity. C. Speed. D. Profitability.
13. What is Van Arman’s friends’ attitude to BitPaintr?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Hopeful.
14. What does Mark Riedl suggest about computers?
A. They will defeat the greatest artists soon.
B. They can produce “Creative” things by themselves.
C. They will learn more from the Picassos and the Mozarts.
D. They can help us to do daily things in more “creative” ways.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Can BitPaintr-like Robots Replace Artists in the Future?
B. Why Do People Have Sharply Different Views on AI Robots?
C. What Is the Difference Between the Two Kinds of Creativity?
D. Can BitPaintr Be Considered a “Creative” Painting Software?
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了Pindar Van Arman创造了一个机器人画家BitPaintr,并讨论了像BitPaintr这样的机器人会不会取代艺术家这个议题。。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But the idea for BitPaintr is simple: A user just uploads a picture, and it can paint totally on its own and develop its own style.(但对BitPainter来说,想法很简单:用户只需上传一张图片,它就可以完全自己画画,并发展自己的风格。)”可知,这个机器人的新特征之一是它的创造性。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“his friends joke that he has invented a really expensive, slow, bad painter(他的朋友们开玩笑说他发明了一个非常昂贵、缓慢、糟糕的画家)”可推断,Van Arman的朋友对这个机器人的作用持怀疑态度。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Being ‘creative’ usually has something to do with the little things that we do hundreds of times in our daily lives. They could be creative, but usually aren’t.(‘有创造力’通常与我们日常生活中做了数百次的小事有关。它们可能有创造力,但通常不是。)”及最后一段中的“And thanks to researchers like Van Arman, it seems like they will, although they will not replace us, but to help us to be more creative.(多亏了像Van Arman这样的研究人员,它们似乎会,尽管它们不会取代我们,但会帮助我们更有创造力。)”可知,Mark Riedl认为这种机器人可能会帮助人类更有创造性地完成日常工作。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段“ Pindar Van Arman is a painter, but he’s also a software designer. He has built some machines and worked on a DARPA challenge team in California to build a self-driving car. His latest project? A robot painter, BitPaintr.(Pindar Van Arman是一名画家,但他也是一名软件设计师。他已经制造了一些机器,并在加州的DARPA挑战团队中工作,以制造一辆自动驾驶汽车。他的最新计划?一个机器人画家,BitPaintr。)”和最后一段中的“And thanks to researchers like Van Arman, it seems like they will, although they will not replace us, but to help us to be more creative.(多亏了像Van Arman这样的研究人员,它们似乎会,尽管它们不会取代我们,但会帮助我们更有创造力。)”可知,本文讨论的是像BitPaintr这样的机器人有朝一日会不会取代艺术家,所以A项“未来类似BitPainter的机器人能取代艺术家吗?”最适合作本文标题。故选A。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At an early age Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob’s foot got caught between his mother’s leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn’t move. “Just let me sleep,” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama,” Bob continued. “You can’t sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn’t let her.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road._
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him. “Believe in yourself. I know you can”. Bob kept talking to his mother. With time passing by, their effort paid off. When they were trying to step out of the valley, the sky was so bright and starry. Bob was able to see his mother’s face clearly. He broke into tears. Above the valley, there came the light and the sound of cars on the road. They held each other, walking slowly to the main road.
About an hour later, Bob and his mother finally reached the road. There was a sign on the side of the road. They got to the sign and had a good rest. Meanwhile, Bob took off his clothes and waved his hands in the air. “Stop! Please stop!” the boy kept shouting. “We need help. Get my mama to a hospital.” Luckily, a driver saw him from the window and pulled up. He rushed them to the nearby hospital. Now, Markita has recovered from injuries. She said, “If it hadn’t been for Bob, I’d have died.”

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
From carefully reconstructed sites like Chichen Itza to the ceremonial temples of Calakmul, these are the ancient Maya ruins not to miss in Mexico.
Chichen Itza
Named one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in 2007, the beautifully preserved Chichen Itza in Yucatán is Mexico’s most famous Maya ruins. Despite the crowds, few are dissatisfied with El Castillo — a carefully restored pyramid that rises up 80ft and has 365 steps — the largest Maya ball court in the Americas.
Tulum
Built in the 13th century, Tulum was one of the last cities where the Maya people lived and the only one built on the coast. The pyramids here aren’t as large as other Maya ruins in Mexico, but the setting, on 40ft-high cliffs (悬崖) above the Caribbean waters south of Cancun, more than makes up for it.
Cobá
Home to the tallest pyramid in the state of Quintana Roo, Cobá was once one of the most important Maya cities in Yucatán. Located around 30 miles west of Tulum ruins, the city was built in around 600 CE and it eventually grew to 50,000 people living there. Though much of Cobá has yet to be excavated (发掘), travellers can climb the 138ft-high Nohoch Mul — a pyramid that offers sweeping views over the Yucatán rainforest.
Calakmul
In Campeche’s Calakmul Biosphere Reserve near the border with Guatemala, Calakmul is one of Mexico’s wildest Maya ruins. It has the largest and tallest pyramid in Yucatán and more than 6,000 buildings, many of them covered by rainforest. The site is particularly beautiful at sunrise, when the surrounding forest comes alive with birdsong.
1. Which is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World?
A. Cobá. B. Tulum. C. Calakmul. D. Chichen Itza.
2. What is special about Tulum?
A. It features 365 steps. B. It was hit by a flood in 2007.
C. It was built on the coast. D. It lies in the north of Cancun.
3. What can you do at Calakmul?
A. Tour the largest Maya ball court. B. Visit the tallest pyramid in Yucatán.
C. Climb the 138ft-high Nohoch Mul. D. Have a bird’s-eye view of Yucatán.

Scientists have taken pictures of a star that is farther away than any single star ever seen. They were only able to see the star because gravity made it look bigger. The star, which has been called Icarus, is nine billion light years away. A light year is a very long distance — about 6 trillion miles. That’s how far light can travel in one year in space.
Icarus was created when the universe was very young. The star was a blue “supergiant” — much bigger and brighter than the sun. It took the light from the star about 9 billion years to reach the earth. It may seem strange, but the star is not even there any more. Actually, the light it made is still traveling through space.
Patrick Kelly worked with other scientists and NASA to spot the star. They used a telescope (望远镜) that NASA had put into space, called the Hubble Space Telescope. Mr. Kelly said, “This star is at least 100 times farther away than the next star we can study.” Icarus was so far away that the scientists needed more than just the Hubble Telescope to spot it.
The scientists were able to see the star because of gravity. Gravity doesn’t just pull things toward each other, it can also bend (使弯曲) light. When the light gets bent, it can make things look bigger. Scientists call this gravitational lensing.
Something really big was needed to magnify (放大) a star so far away — something even bigger than a galaxy! A galaxy is a huge group of stars. It was a whole group of galaxies that bent the light so that Icarus was big enough to see. The group of galaxies made it look 2,000 times bigger.
Scientists are excited about a new space telescope that NASA is planning. They hope that it may help them see Icarus better.
4. What makes it possible for scientists to see the star Icarus?
A. Gravity. B. Open space.
C. A spaceship. D. A short distance.
5. How do scientists benefit from gravitational lensing?
A. They can know the speed of light. B. They use it to track objects in space.
C. They can change the direction of light. D. They follow it to get close to the telescope.
6. What do scientists expect of the new telescope?
A. It will unlock the hidden secret of gravity. B. It will replace the current space telescope.
C. It will recognize the gravity on the moon. D. It will enable them to further study the star.
7 What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To introduce a space station. B. To announce a space mission.
C. To share a scientific discovery. D. To explain a new study on light.
C
“Why do Asians usually steam (清蒸) a fish for the New Year when it can be cooked in various ways?” asked Andy Ricker, who ran several famous Thai restaurants in America. “It can be fried or roasted. But if you live on a coast, or have access to first-rate fish, steaming is the best way to go.”
Another reason is that, in the right context, fish stand for good luck. The Chinese words for “fish” and “plenty” have the same pronunciation, and a fish, eaten on the eve of the lunar new year, represents a wish for plenty of good things to come. Therefore, enough fish should be cooked to ensure leftovers, which mean hopes for abundance in the year ahead.
Such lucky dishes are not unique to Asians. On New Year’s Day in America, black southerners have been eating Hoppin’ John, a delicious dish of rice and black-eyed beans (豆), cooked with salted pork or smoked ham(interest in African-American culture has made the recipe popular elsewhere). The beans symbolize coins, and the greens that are usually served as well stand for dollar bills. Some people even put a clean coin in the pot. Whoever gets it on their plate will enjoy a lot of good luck.
Diverse as these dishes are, they all represent hopes for good fortune. Fish, beans and greens are neither costly nor extraordinary, suggesting that luck is not something bought expensively or sought with difficulty. Good fortune, they suggest, lies all around, and is always within reach.
Whether anyone actually believes in the relationship between eating these foods and receiving the promised benefits is unclear. Mainly, these food traditions continue for the same reason that other traditions do: People have fond memories of celebrating them with their parents, and want to pass them down to their own children.
8. What does the underlined word “abundance” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Delicious meals. B. Food left at the end of a meal.
C. A lot of good things. D. General situation related to an event.
9. What can we learn about Hoppin’ John?
A. It is a kind of vegetable. B. It is a piece of delicious meat
C. It is a unique lucky name D. It is an African-American dish.
10. Which of the following can best describe the lucky dishes?
A. Ordinary. B. Expensive. C. Rare. D. Fresh.
11. Why do most people follow the tradition according to the author?
A. Their parents told them to do so.
B. Their children want to carry them on.
C. They value the experience behind the food.
D. They truly believe in the food-for-luck stories.
D
Pindar Van Arman is a painter, but he’s also a software designer. He has built some machines and worked on a DARPA challenge team in California to build a self-driving car. His latest project? A robot painter, BitPaintr.
BitPaintr is Van Arman’s fifth robot in 10 years. Earlier versions included devices that produced simpler paintings with algorithms (算法). But the idea for BitPaintr is simple: A user just uploads a picture, and it can paint totally on its own and develop its own style.
Although his friends joke that he has invented a really expensive, slow, bad painter, Van Arman says teaching a machine how to be creative has helped him get to the bottom of what creativity is — and appreciate it.
“When you’re trying to teach a machine to do something that’s easy for humans, it really makes you sit back and see what humans are doing,” he says.
So what is creativity then, if a robot with a paintbrush can be — or appear to be — just as creative as a human with a paintbrush?
Mark Riedl, a professor at the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing, says it depends on how you define creativity. “There is creativity and Creativity,” Riedl says. “Being ‘creative’ usually has something to do with the little things that we do hundreds of times in our daily lives. They could be creative, but usually aren’t. To be ‘Creative’ is to have an imagination that will have a huge impact on a social level — the Picassos and the Mozarts of the world; the people who have produced something that’s taken on this additional level of meaning.”
Riedl admits what robots create is far from human-level quality art, but he sees robots entering the creative process as a positive thing.
“We want the computers to keep up with us,” he says. “And thanks to researchers like Van Arman, it seems like they will, although they will not replace us, but to help us to be more creative.”
12. Which is a new quality of BitPaintr?
A. Simplicity. B. Creativity. C. Speed. D. Profitability.
13. What is Van Arman’s friends’ attitude to BitPaintr?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Hopeful.
14. What does Mark Riedl suggest about computers?
A. They will defeat the greatest artists soon.
B. They can produce “Creative” things by themselves.
C. They will learn more from the Picassos and the Mozarts.
D. They can help us to do daily things in more “creative” ways.
15. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Can BitPaintr-like Robots Replace Artists in the Future?
B. Why Do People Have Sharply Different Views on AI Robots?
C. What Is the Difference Between the Two Kinds of Creativity?
D. Can BitPaintr Be Considered a “Creative” Painting Software?

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At an early age, Bob was repeatedly told by his mother Markita, “Believe in yourself no matter what happens.” When Bob was 12, his mother traveled with him in a car. Slowly night fell. Bob was asleep in the front seat of the car. As Markita drove carefully down the winding dirt road, she turned onto a narrow bridge. As she did, the car hit a rock and ran off the road, and the right front wheel got stuck. Fearing the car would tip over, she attempted to drive it back onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal (油门) and turning the steering wheel (方向盘) to the left. But Bob’s foot got caught between his mother’s leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the car.
The car rolled over and hit a deep valley. Bob could hardly get his breath back. “What happened, Mama?” he asked. “Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Markita was blinded by blood. She was too painful to move and cry for help. “I’ll get you out, Mama,” said Bob, who had luckily escaped injury. He managed to get out of the car through the open window and tried to pull his mother out. But she couldn’t move. “Just let me sleep,” replied Markita, who seemed to be out of consciousness (意识). “No, Mama,” Bob continued. “You can’t sleep.”
Bob reached her mother and tried to pull her out of the car, but failed. He then told her he'd climb up to the road and stop a car to get help. Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark, Markita refused to let him go alone. Instead, Markita did her best to open the door. She moved inches at a time. The pain was so great that Markita wanted to give up, but Bob wouldn’t let her.
注意: 1.续写词数应为 150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
To keep his mother moving, Bob repeated the words his mother told him.
