Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them do their home-lessons. These three lucky children always had everything they needed—pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over. One day two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry. More time passed. Then Mother came in and said, “Father’s been called away—on business.” A week after their father went away, their mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the country. A pretty little white house, called Three Chimneys.” The family started packing—clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs. “We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta. “We’re taking the useful ones,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.” Peter said joyously, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.” Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!” As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it. “Oh, Mother,” she said in a low voice, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!” Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up. They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children. 29. What is the meaning of the underlined word “joyously”? A. Happily. B. Nervously. C. Angrily. D. Curiously. 30.

He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing idea. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners’ philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, even if few can remember his birthday, he will not be forgotten by people in the West. 33. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By showing facts. C. By giving an example. D. By imagining a picture. 34. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spreading Chinese culture to the world? A. Worried. B. Stressed. C. Confident. D. Devoted. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Students in the USA take an active part in studying Chinese now. B. Businessmen in the USA prefer Chinese customers to Confucius. C. People in the Western countries never forget Confucius’ birthday. D. America has set up Confucius Institutes to learn Chinese culture better. 36. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Big Fans of the Big Hero. B. Old Thinker with a Big Future. C. Forgotten Wisdom in America. D. Chinese Culture all over the world. 【答案】33. D 34. C 35. A 36. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是中国的思想家孔子及其所代表的东方文化仍然被西方所推崇。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据“If Confucius was still alive today and could celebrate his September 28th birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles”可知，文章是通过想象一个画面开篇的。故选D。 【34题详解】 观点态度题。根据“Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.”可知，如今，中国比以往任何时候都更吸引西方，它将需要更多的教师向西方介绍孔子和中国文化，可见作者对传播中国文化到全世界是自信的。故选C。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese.”可知，美国的学生们正在争相学习中文。故选A。 【36题详解】 最佳标题题。本文主要讲的是中国的思想家孔子及其所代表的东方文化仍然被西方所推崇，以选项B“有着广阔未来的老思想家”为标题最合适。故选B。 D ①More scientists are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the environment and support endangered creatures (生物). Unlike traditional ways that can damage the environment or require considerable (相当多的) time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with large quantities of data (数据). Let’s learn more details together. ②Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to safeguard at least 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by the end of 2030. “AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier.” says Nicolas Miailhe, founder of The Future Society, an organization that aims to better manage AI. “We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.” ③A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of the birds the scientists have. “Our results prove that AI is ready for recognizing creatures in the wild from sound.” says Maller, the team leader. “All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.” ④Besides monitoring creatures in real time, AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Scientists have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss. ⑤Although it is well-known that human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact. “AI will do soon,” says Luisa Orsini, a scientist from the University of Birmingham. 37. What can we infer from Nicolas Miailhe’s and Maller’s words? A. AI models are designed imperfectly. B. AI models have already developed perfectly. C. AI’s ability needs CNN to discover and achieve. D. AI’s ability is much greater than what people imagine. 38. The meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 5 is the closest to ________. A. influence B. chance C. secret D. purpose 39. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ 40. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. AI can collect training data on its own. B. Creatures are disappearing faster than before. C. Scientists have prevented a century’s environmental damage. D. AI has spent more time dealing with large quantities of data than before. 【答案】37. D 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要是介绍用人工智能来监测环境并拯救濒危生物。 【37题详解】 推理判断题。根据“We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data”、“Our results prove that AI is ready for recognizing creatures in the wild from sound”和“All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.”可知，AI已经为从声音中识别野生生物做好准备，可推测AI的能力比人们想象的要强大，故选D。 【38题详解】 词义猜测题。根据“Although it is well-known that human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact.”可知，人类活动导致了河流和湖泊中的生物损失，但人们对哪些活动的影响最大知之甚少，所以划线词意为“影响”，故选A。 【39题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文，第一段讲述用人工智能来监测环境并拯救濒危生物；第二段至第五段具体介绍人工智能的用途及方法，因此文章是总分结构，故选D。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered”可知，生物正在以比数百万年前快数千倍的速度消失，有100万种生物濒临灭绝，故选B。 五、信息还原 (本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) You feel tired and you have no energy.

Inner painting artists traditionally create works on the inner surface of the glass bottle by using special fine brushes that can enter the tiny bottles. It has a long history and is mainly divided into four major schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, and Guangdong. When we look at the inner painting of an object, we experience an indescribable beauty. Patterns on the painting often symbolize people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most marketable ones are landscapes (风景), followed by flowers and birds. The production of inner painting is difficult because it requires high precision (精确) and the process of painting is totally reversed (反向的). During painting, there is no room for corrections. And a shaky hand leads to mistakes. Only those skilled and confident in their abilities can paint well. Most artists need to learn inner painting for years before creating great and fine pieces. Even if they already know how to paint, they need to practice drawing lines from the beginning when they start inner painting. Inner painting has its advantages due to its uniqueness (独特性), but it also faces challenges such as limited market needs, and a shortage of learners and talented artists to drive its development. Luckily, today’s artists are trying to make inner painting more included in our lives. It is now used on everyday objects, like tea sets and folding screens. One of the artists invented a new type of brush, which improved the speed of drawing. Some young artists are making use of social media to help more people learn about inner painting skills. Looking ahead to the future, the inner painting artists wish the art to be more available to the public, and win high market acceptance. They also hope inner painting courses can be offered at school for young people to take. 76.

He was never angry and always ready for a game. Mother was almost at home, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them do their home-lessons. These three lucky children always had everything they needed—pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely playroom and a dog called James. They had a happy life, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the large house was over. One day two men came to see Father. Minutes passed. Father’s voice came out from the study, loud and angry. More time passed. Then Mother came in and said, “Father’s been called away—on business.” A week after their father went away, their mother said, “Now, we’re going to move to the country. A pretty little white house, called Three Chimneys.” The family started packing—clothes, plates, candles and also tables and chairs. “We seem to be taking all the ugly things,” said Roberta. “We’re taking the useful ones,” said Mother. “We’ve got to play at being poor for a bit.” Peter said joyously, “I do like moving! I wish we moved once a month.” Mother laughed and said, “I don’t like moving!” As she turned away, Roberta saw her face. She never forgot it. “Oh, Mother,” she said in a low voice, “how I love you! You are brave enough to laugh when you’re feeling like that!” Then they took a train to Three Chimneys. No one knew how long they had been in the train when Mother woke them up. They stood in the cold night air on the dark platform. At that moment they didn’t know how important the station and the trains would become to them. They didn’t know they were going to be the railway children. 29. What is the meaning of the underlined word “joyously”? A. Happily. B. Nervously. C. Angrily. D. Curiously. 30.

C If Confucius was still alive today and could celebrate his September 28th birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out. While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing idea. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China. In the past two decades, the Chinese study programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and philosophy (哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantage of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks (缺点) of Westerners’ philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well. Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West. As for the old thinker, even if few can remember his birthday, he will not be forgotten by people in the West. 33. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By showing facts. C. By giving an example. D. By imagining a picture. 34. What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards spreading Chinese culture to the world? A. Worried. B. Stressed. C. Confident. D. Devoted. 35. What can we learn from the passage? A. Students in the USA take an active part in studying Chinese now. B. Businessmen in the USA prefer Chinese customers to Confucius. C. People in the Western countries never forget Confucius’ birthday. D. America has set up Confucius Institutes to learn Chinese culture better. 36. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Big Fans of the Big Hero. B. Old Thinker with a Big Future. C. Forgotten Wisdom in America. D. Chinese Culture all over the world. D ①More scientists are turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor the environment and support endangered creatures (生物). Unlike traditional ways that can damage the environment or require considerable (相当多的) time and physical work, AI has the ability to quickly and effectively deal with large quantities of data (数据). Let’s learn more details together. ②Creatures are disappearing at a speed thousands of times faster than that millions of years ago, with one million creatures endangered. The United Nations set a goal in 2020 to safeguard at least 30% of Earth’s land and oceans by the end of 2030. “AI is imperfect but could make important discoveries faster and earlier.” says Nicolas Miailhe, founder of The Future Society, an organization that aims to better manage AI. “We need skilled humans to design AI models and check and collect data.” ③A type of AI model called a convolutional neural network (CNN) has been developed to recognize bird sounds. The CNN is able to pick out 75 kinds of the birds the scientists have. “Our results prove that AI is ready for recognizing creatures in the wild from sound.” says Maller, the team leader. “All that is needed now is more training data collected by humans.” ④Besides monitoring creatures in real time, AI can be used to model the impacts of human activities on the environment and rebuild historical changes. Scientists have used AI to discover how a century’s environmental damage in a river has led to creature loss. ⑤Although it is well-known that human activities have resulted in creature loss in rivers and lakes, little is known about which activities have the largest impact. “AI will do soon,” says Luisa Orsini, a scientist from the University of Birmingham. 37. What can we infer from Nicolas Miailhe’s and Maller’s words? A. AI models are designed imperfectly. B. AI models have already developed perfectly. C. AI’s ability needs CNN to discover and achieve. D. AI’s ability is much greater than what people imagine. 38. The meaning of the underlined word “impact” in Paragraph 5 is the closest to ________. A. influence B. chance C. secret D. purpose 39. What is the structure of the passage? A. ①②③/④⑤ B. ①②/③④⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③④⑤ 40. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. AI can collect training data on its own. B. Creatures are disappearing faster than before. C. Scientists have prevented a century’s environmental damage. D. AI has spent more time dealing with large quantities of data than before. 五、信息还原 (本题共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) You feel tired and you have no energy. You can’t breathe out of your nose and your throat hurts.

Inner painting artists traditionally create works on the inner surface of the glass bottle by using special fine brushes that can enter the tiny bottles. It has a long history and is mainly divided into four major schools: Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, and Guangdong. When we look at the inner painting of an object, we experience an indescribable beauty. Patterns on the painting often symbolize people’s wishes for good luck and a happy life. The most marketable ones are landscapes (风景), followed by flowers and birds. The production of inner painting is difficult because it requires high precision (精确) and the process of painting is totally reversed (反向的). During painting, there is no room for corrections. And a shaky hand leads to mistakes. Only those skilled and confident in their abilities can paint well. Most artists need to learn inner painting for years before creating great and fine pieces. Even if they already know how to paint, they need to practice drawing lines from the beginning when they start inner painting. Inner painting has its advantages due to its uniqueness (独特性), but it also faces challenges such as limited market needs, and a shortage of learners and talented artists to drive its development. Luckily, today’s artists are trying to make inner painting more included in our lives. It is now used on everyday objects, like tea sets and folding screens. One of the artists invented a new type of brush, which improved the speed of drawing. Some young artists are making use of social media to help more people learn about inner painting skills. Looking ahead to the future, the inner painting artists wish the art to be more available to the public, and win high market acceptance. They also hope inner painting courses can be offered at school for young people to take. 76.
