Students had fashionable clothes and well-connected and powerful parents. Schandevel had grown up in the north of Detroit.Her family was working class and she had gotten scholarships and a few loans to make attending the famous state school a reality.When she got to campus, she didn't think much about her status as a low-income student. Then, during Schandevel's junior year, the university's student government put out a campus affordability guide, written with the average student in mind—but it's worth nothing that the average student at the school has a family income of about $150,000 per year. The advice didn't go over well with low-income students on campus.“A lot of the advice was like：fire your maid or sell your car.I was frustrated(受挫的) by this guide, and I was seeing others frustrated by it，” says Schandevel. She decided to make her own affordability guide, and she drafted a Google document and titled it “Being Not-Rich at UM：A Guide”．She added her own ideas—the things that helped her survive and budget.But there was so much she didn't know, so she left the sharing settings open for other students to jump in and edit the online document. It took off.Hundreds of students started adding their tips about how to navigate college when you are paying your way through college. Today, Schandevel's crowd-sourced guide stretches more than 100 pages.It includes advice about jobs, housing, teachers and financial aid.Through social media, the Michigan Google document started to make the rounds at other colleges.Students at schools across the country made their own “Not-Rich” guides based on Michigan's version. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与自我/学习与生活。本文为记叙文。Lauren Schandevel来自贫困家庭，她的一份“校园生存指南”受到大学生的广泛欢迎。 4．How did Schandevel probably feel in her first year of college? A．Very excited. B．A little curious. C．Very confident. D．A little upset. 答案　D 解析　 推理判断题。根据前三段可知，Schandevel来自贫困家庭，她发现周围同学看起来很富有，她受到了一些冲击，她感觉心烦意乱，故选D项。 5．What's the campus affordability guide mainly about? A．Ways to live a happy life. B．Tips on how to become rich. C．Advice on how to save money. D．Ideas about how to become creative. 答案　C 解析　 推理判断题。根据第四、五段可知，这份由密歇根大学发布的生存指南给大学生提供了一些建议，比如解雇佣人、卖掉汽车等。这些建议的主要目的是省钱，故选C项。 6．What were the university's suggestions like in Schandevel's eyes? A．They were quite practical. B．They were very unrealistic. C．They were quite reasonable. D．They were very constructive. 答案　B 解析　 推理判断题。Schandevel来自贫困家庭，而密歇根大学发布的生存指南所提出的建议大多是针对有钱人的。由此可知，这些建议在Schandevel看来是很不切实际的，故选B项。 7．What do we know about Schandevel's affordability guide? A．It gained great popularity. B．It didn't make any difference. C．It was adopted by her university. D．It offered financial aid to low-income students. 答案　A 解析　 细节理解题。根据最后两段可知，Schandevel所发布的建议被补充到100多页，其他大学也争相仿效。由此可知，她所发布的建议很受欢迎，故选A项。 We use what is known as inner speech, where we talk to ourselves, to evaluate situations and make decisions.Now, a robot has been trained to speak aloud its inner decision-making process, giving us a view of how it responds to contradictory demands. Arianna Pipitone and Antonio Chella at the University of Palermo, Italy, programmed a humanoid robot named Pepper, with software that models human cognitive(认知的) processes, which allowed Pepper to retrieve(检索) relevant information from its memory and find the correct way to act based on human commands, as well as a text-to-speech processor.It allowed Pepper to voice its decision-making process while completing a task.“With inner speech, we can better understand what the robot wants to do and what its plan is，” says Chella. The researchers asked Pepper to set a dinner table according to etiquette(礼仪)rules they had programmed into the robot.Inner speech was either enabled or disabled to see how it affected Pepper's ability to do what was instructed. When instructed to place a napkin on a fork with its inner speech enabled, Pepper asked itself what the etiquette required and concluded that this request went against the rules it had been given.It then asked the researchers if putting the napkin on the fork was the correct action.When told it was, Pepper said, “OK, I prefer to follow your desire，” and explained how it was going to place the napkin on the fork. When asked to do the same task with inner speech disabled, Pepper knew this contradicted etiquette rules, so it didn't perform the task or explain why. “With the potential for robots to become more common in the future, this type of programming could help the public understand their abilities and limitations，” says Sarah Sebo at the University of Chicago.“It maintains people's trust and enables cooperation and interactions between humans and robots.However, this experiment only used a single human participant.It's unclear how their approach would compare across a wide range of human participants.” 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/科学与技术。本文为说明文，主要讲述了有关机器人的一项实验，目的是让其经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程。 8．Why does the author mention how people make decisions in the first paragraph? A．To introduce the topic. B．To make comparisons. C．To provide an example. D．To support his argument. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据下文有关机器人经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程的实验可推知，第一段提到人们通过内心活动做出决策是为了引出这一话题，故选A项。 9．How did Pepper react to the contradictory instruction with its inner speech enabled? A．It failed to complete the task. B．It followed the etiquette rules. C．It made a random decision. D．It communicated with the researchers. 答案　D 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段前两句可知，机器人Pepper的内心语言被激活后，它面对矛盾的指令会和研究人员进行交流，询问该行为是否正确，故选D项。 10．What did Sarah Sebo think of the research? A．It was creative but worthless. B．It was a good try but the result was a failure. C．It was inspiring but needed further evidence. D．It was carefully designed but poorly performed. 答案　C 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，Sarah Sebo认为对机器人的这种编程虽然有助于人类和机器人之间的互动，但是这个实验只使用了一个人类参与者，没有证据表明如何在广泛的人类参与者中进行比较。所以从她的表述可以推断她认为这项研究很鼓舞人心，但还需要进一步的研究和证实，故选C项。 11．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．Robot Taught to Be Polite B．Robot Can Explain Its Decision C．Robot Making Decisions: No Longer a Dream D．Robot-Human Communication：No Longer a Problem 答案　B 解析　标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了有关机器人的一项实验研究，目的是让机器人经过训练，可以大声说出自己的内心决策过程，故选B项。 Let's be real, we all have a special place in our heart for the home (or homes) we grew up in. Think of the place where you learned to ride your first bike or the door frame where your parents tracked your heights.But would that nostalgia be enough for you to drop half a million to buy back the house? If you're author J．K.Rowling, and your childhood home inspired certain parts of what would become one of the most well known fiction series to ever exist, it's worth considering. As it turns out, Harry Potter' author J．K.Rowling owns her childhood home, Church Cottage at Tutshill in Chepstow, according to Daily Mail.Rowling had quietly bought it back in 2011 for ￡400,000. Now, the secret is out, as this week, Rowling and her husband commissioned major renovation projects for it, after years of no activity.The district council has granted the couple planning permission to install two rear dormer windows and knock down and rebuild the garage. But let's talk about that magic that is Church Cottage already.Rowling lived here from ages 9 to 18.The home includes a cupboard under the stairs (sound familiar？), which is believed to have been the inspiration for Harry's room at the Dursley family's house.There is also a trap door in the cottage's dining room, similar to the one Fluffy guards in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.Also, the property is near the Forest of Dean, where a large part of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes place. Over the years, some wise fans were able to connect the dots leading to the home, often trying to visit it.“For years, every time a book or a film came out, there were always members of the public asking to come in to see the house，” Julian Mercer, the home's former owner, told BBC back in 2011.“That's been happening ever since the book came out.But we haven't let them in.” Now that the secret's out that the home is back in Rowling's hands, those uninvited fans might be knocking on the door a little more frequently.Although her exact renovation plans may still be a mystery, we sure hope she turns it into a museum for the book. 语篇导读 主题语境：人与社会/文学、艺术与体育。本文为说明文，介绍了带给了《哈利·波特》作者J.K.Rowling许多灵感的“教堂小屋”的情况。 12．What can we learn about Church Cottage from the passage? A．Rowling got a lot of inspiration from it. B．Rowling learned how to ride her bike there. C．Rowling's parents secretly sold it for half a million. D．Rowling's parents recorded her heights on its door frame. 答案　A 解析　细节理解题。根据第五段第二、三句可知，罗琳作品中的很多场景取材于Church Cottage，说明她从Church Cottage中得到了很多灵感，故选A项。 13．What does the underlined word “property” probably refer to? A．Harry's room. B．The trap door. C．Dursley family's house. D．Church Cottage. 答案　D 解析　指代猜测题。上文一直在讲Church Cottage，罗琳从Church Cottage中得到了很多关于作品场景的灵感，画线词在此处指的也是“Church Cottage”，故选D项。 14．What can we infer about Julian Mercer from the text? A．He is one of Rowling's fans. B．He sold his cottage in 2011. C．He is a reporter from BBC. D．He is a character in Rowling's books. 答案　B 解析　推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句以及倒数第二段中Julian Mercer, the home's former owner, told BBC back in 2011可推知，Julian Mercer 在2011年卖掉了自己的小屋，故选B项。 15．When do visitors begin trying to visit the house? A．After Rowling bought the house back. B．After the public began to focus on it. C．After Rowling's books came out. D．After the house was changed into a museum. 答案　C 解析　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第二句以及最后两句可知，游客在罗琳的书出版之后开始尝试要参观房子(但未成功)，故选C项。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Reasons Why You Should Learn First Aid A first aid course only takes a matter of hours to complete but supplies you with all of the knowledge you require to handle an emergency.　1　 Actually, there are more benefits if you take crucial(关键的) first aid practices. 　2　 Just imagine for a second that somebody was in a life-threatening condition and your quick actions saved their lives.What a great feeling to wake up to, remembering that you have prolonged(延长) someone's life and allowed them to spend many more happy years with their loved ones.

That's all.Thank you! Ⅵ.读后续写 I always thought becoming a grandmother would be a good experience.When my only child, David, and his girlfriend, Line, got married, both were in their early thirties.They weren't in any hurry to have a baby, so I simply accepted that no new branch would grow on my family tree.It didn't matter to me as long as they were happy. One morning in early December, my husband and I woke up because of a loud knock at our bedroom door, followed by my son's voice urging(催促) us to get up. We jumped out of bed and thought that something bad may have happened. “What's wrong？” I asked. “Nothing，” David said to me. “I wanted to give you an early Christmas present，” he said excitedly. “But we agreed not to exchange gifts this year，” I said. “And we…” “Mom, please listen to me.You will become a grandmother.” he interrupted(打断) me. I was happy and rushed up to hug and congratulate my son.I was excited but I knew I was not so enthusiastic compared to most people.Even my husband was doing a victory dance across the living room floor. I spent the next few months saying and doing what was expected of a grandmother-to-be.I was worried about Line's health and asked her about the result of every checkup.I helped plan a baby shower.I chose names back and forth until we were all satisfied.I also enjoyed selecting other things for a baby and a mother-to-be. Finally, Kara, my granddaughter, made her appearance two weeks early, so we had to wait until the next day to see her.Meanwhile, Line mentioned a backache several times that day.I whispered to my son that he should keep an eye on her. 注意：续写词数应为150左右。 One possible version： The next morning, when we arrived, David was holding Kara.Before I could speak, David placed Kara into my arms.Then he went to take care of Line.I looked carefully at the tiny little baby.I touched each of her fingers carefully so as not to wake her up.As I did so, she took hold of my finger, opened her eyes and looked at me.As a grandmother, all I wanted then was to hold the precious child in my arms forever. From then on, I felt very happy at every moment I spent with Kara.My husband was also happy when staying with her.Kara was the best present for the whole family.I often patiently took care of her and fed her.I refused to go out to have fun with my friends and to go travelling with them.What I wanted to do was enjoy the happiness with Kara at that time.I was grateful for the little child's coming into my life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
