The airport was constructed in the 1950s. It has an indoor garden, a children’s playground, and over 70 food businesses in Terminal 3 alone. The Shanghai World Financial Centre Completed in 2008, SWFC took over 10 years to complete due to financial shortages and the construction delays. Since its completion, it has won countless architectural awards. Tourists are welcome at SWFC’s viewing platform, which is the world’s highest closed viewing platform. The Water Cube It was constructed for use during the Beijing 2008 Summer Olympics. Now visitors can express surprise at the architecture of the building. They can enjoy the indoor atmosphere as well. Among the offerings of the Water Cube are a restaurant, a bar, a shopping area, and Water World, a family water park. The Bird’s Nest It was designed mainly for the 2008 Summer Olympics. It can hold up to 80,000 people. Nowadays, it also functions as a tourist attraction. Its main income is from tourism. It draws more than 20,000 tourists every day. The National Centre for the Performing Arts It was completed in 2007. The building is surrounded by a man-made lake, requiring guests to enter via an underground hallway. It is home to an opera hall, a music hall, and a theatre. 1. Which of the following buildings was first constructed? A. The Beijing International Airport. B. The Shanghai World Financial Centre. C. The Water Cube. D. The Bird’s Nest. 2. Why was the construction of Shanghai World Financial Centre delayed? A. It needed more construction workers. B. It was short of money. C. It added an extra viewing platform. D. It faced too much terrible weather. 3. What can you do in the National Centre for the Performing Arts? A. Enjoy sports events. B. Eating. C. Attend science lectures. D. Watch different performances. B One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it’s surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off. The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship the Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn’t allowed in most of the buildings. Pictures of most of the Buddhas and the other artifacts are off⁃limits for photographers. Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it was the largest stage created in Imperial China. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage. I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric boat or paddleboat if you want. But since it was just me, I went aboard one of the biggest boats with other people. I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn’t see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again. 4. What did the author do before setting off for the Summer Palace? A. Asked others about it. B. Learned something about it. C. Spent three hours researching it. D. Rented a boat. 5 What does the underlined word “off⁃limits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Forbidden. B. Allowed. C. Charged. D. Limited. 6. What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text? A. It sits on the top of a hill. B. It is the largest stage all over China. C. It was for royalty to watch performances. D. Operas are performed there at times. 7. Which of the following correctly describes the author’s tour? A. She took a boat by herself. B. She spent four hours in the Summer Palace. C. She didn’t enjoy the trip because it was too late. D. She only toured part of the Summer Palace. C Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class. Professor Goel already had 8 teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the huge number of questions from students. Many students drop out of online courses for lack of teaching support. When students feel confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to change this situation by creating a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform. Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all 40, 000 questions that had ever been asked since the class started. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustment, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with artificial intelligence and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience. The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions raised by students. The name, Jill Watson will of course, change to something else next term. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of AI than say, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak. 8. Professor Goel created a virtual teaching assistant because . A. his course was not interesting enough B. he felt confused about how to teach online C. students’ questions were too many to handle D. his students were unsatisfied with the assistants 9. What do we learn about Jill Watson? A. She turned out to be a great success. B. She was unwelcome to students at first. C. Her true identity was still a secret to students. D. Her name will be kept for the next virtual assistant. 10. What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson? A. Replace her with different versions. B. Enable her to answer more questions. C. Recommend her to some famous people. D. Equip her with new questions and answers. 11. What’s the main idea of the text? A. A robot named Jill Watson gives an online course. B. Robots will take humans’ place in online classes in the future. C. A virtual teaching assistant is getting popular among the students. D. A virtual teaching assistant helps solve online questions in large quantities. D Far, far below your feet lies a source of nearly endless energy. Earth's core is about as hot as the surface of the Sun, so hot that it melts the rocky layers above it into magma, or liquid rock. Wouldn't it be great if we could tap into all that energy? In some places, we do! The Geysers is an area north of San Francisco in California where magma's heat turns a reservoir of underground water into steam. This region is home to 18 geothermal power plants. The steam rises up through spaces between the rocks underground, a bit like how steam pours from a teakettle boiling on a stove. The power plant has pipelines that send the steam into the turbines (涡轮机) where electricity flow is generated. Once the steam leaves the turbine, it goes into a cooling tower where it turns back into liquid. Then it's piped back into the reservoir to be reheated again. Other kinds of geothermal power plants pump hot groundwater into the power plant. Then the pressure is reduced, causing the liquid to flash into steam that turns the turbine and generates electricity flow. Once the steam cools and turns back into liquid, it's pumped back down into the reservoir to begin the cycle again. So why don't we all heat our homes with free steam from the earth? First, the heat has to be close enough to the surface for us to reach it. Next, there has to be plenty of underground water to be heated. Finally, there has to be a layer of rock that water or steam can flow through. So in places where all three of those things come together, geothermal energy can be a powerful renewable energy source. Besides, when a geothermal plant returns water back into the hot rocks of a reservoir, it makes the rock crack a bit, which can cause small earthquakes. There's another danger that comes with drilling near magma-pipes and other equipment might melt if they hit a pocket of magma or are caught in an eruption. One geothermal plant in Hawaii was partially buried by lava in 2018. But engineers are hopeful that the repaired plant will generate even more power. Geothermal energy isn't the answer for everywhere, but it's a piece of the puzzle to help slow climate change. 12. In which part of power plants is the electricity made? A. The turbine. B. The reservoir. C. The pipeline. D. The tower. 13. What prevents free steam from being widely developed according to paragraph 3? A. Hard surface and possible earthquakes. B. Changeable climate and unqualified equipment. C. Limited underground water and thin layers of rock. D. Unsuitable geological conditions and potential dangers. 14. Why is the buried geothermal plant in Hawaii mentioned? A. To demonstrate the great effort that engineers made. B. To show the power that the repaired plant can generate. C. To illustrate the danger caused by drilling near magma. D. To praise the engineers who repaired the generate plant. 15. What is the author's attitude towards geothermal energy? A. Unconcerned. B. Unclear. C. Doubtful. D. Approving. 第二节 (共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。 Travel is an important part of your life, and it will make a comeback soon.

As the economy was in decline, some people in the town had lost their jobs. Many of their families were struggling to make ends meet. People were trying to help each other meet the challenges. Mrs. Meredith was a most kind and thoughtful woman. She spent a great deal of time visiting the poor. She knew they had problems, and they needed all kinds of help. When she had time, she would bring food and medicine to them. One morning she told her children about a family she had visited the day before. There was a man sick in bed, his wife, who took care of him and could not go out to work, and their little boy. The little boy -his name was Bernard-had interested her very much. “I wish you could see him,” she said to her own children, John, Harry, and Clara. “He is such a help to his mother. He wants very much to earn some money, but I don't see what he can do.” After their mother left the room, the children sat thinking about Bernard. “I wish we could help him to earn money,” said Clara. “His family is suffering so much.” “So do I,” said Harry. “We really should do something to assist them.” For some moments, John said nothing, but, suddenly, he sprang to his feet and cried, “I have a great idea! I have a solution that we can all help accomplish (完成).” The other children also jumped up all attention. When John had an idea, it was sure to be a good one. “I tell you what we can do,” said John. “You know that big box of corn Uncle John sent us?
