We have more chance to know about the world.

I ________ have time to sleep. A. really B. nearly C. hardly 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——你看起来很累。——哦，太多的工作占据了我的时间。我几乎没有时间睡觉。 考查副词辨析。really真的；nearly几乎；hardly几乎不。根据“too much work takes up my time”可以推断出几乎没有时间睡觉。故选C。 13. —What a nice classroom! —It ________ every day. A. is cleaning B. has cleaned C. is cleaned 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：——多好的教室啊！——它每天都被打扫。 考查动词时态和语态。根据“everyd ay”可知时态是一般现在时，it指教室，和clean是被动关系，所以用一般现在时的被动语态。故选C。 14. —Lin Ling has made great progress in English. —________ She spent plenty of time on it.

They left London two years ago, but they still can’t believe how much their life has changed. In London, they were successful. And they were very wealthy. They had a big apartment and two expensive cars. They used to spend a lot of money on clothes and vacations. They did all these things without thinking because they had lots of money. But did they enjoy their life? One day, Lisa was driving home. She suddenly realized (意识到) that it was always dark when she left home in the morning and dark when she left the office in the evening. She usually came home in a bad mood. And she used to work most weekends, too. Barry was too busy to have time for his hobbies—cooking and fishing. So both of them thought it was time to change. The Mosses sold their apartment and cars, found a house in a village and set up a small restaurant. “It’s perfect,” says Lisa. “We grow all the fruit and vegetables for the restaurant. Barry does the cooking and I love talking to customers.” The Mosses still work hard, but their life now is quite different from that in London. “Though now we don’t make as much money as we did before.” laughs Barry, “we have time to do all the things we like.” Do they miss London? “We’re happy with fewer things! And in fact, we don’t think about London anymore!” says Lisa. 31. The underlined word “wealthy” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. rich B. active C. clever D. safe 32.

Some experts (专家) believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native speakers are actually easier to understand. “Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And when suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,” Chia Susan Chong, an English culture expert, told the BBC. Chong said this happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. “English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, slang (说俚语) and mention their countries that others may not understand.” Chong said. “As an Australian living in China, this is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues. I’m careful to speak slowly and use words. I know they will understand. But sometimes, we confuse (使困惑) each other. Once, I told my colleague, which is slang for ‘no problem’. However, she thought I was calling her a drama queen (大惊小怪的人) and got upset.” But don’t worry. Experts say that it’s the native speakers’ fault (错误) if they can’t understand you, not yours. “English speakers with no other language never have the awareness (意识) to speak English internationally.” English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC. The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly. 36. How does the writer start this passage? A. By asking a question. B. By listing a number. C. By giving a reason. D. By showing an example. 37. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Culture experts. B. Chinese colleagues. C. Native speakers. D. Non-native speakers. 38. Why did the Chong’s colleague get upset? A. Because Chong talked fast. B. Because Chong used slang. C. Because Chong made a joke. D. Because Chong mentioned Australia. 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Native speakers communicate more carefully. B. If you can’t understand native speakers, it’s your fault. C. Sometimes slang isn’t proper for the international communication. D. Dale Coulter has no idea of how to speak English internationally. 40. How can we avoid trouble when we communicate with native speakers? A. We may pay more patience. B. We could speak English clearly. C. We should ask them to use slang. D. We’d better tell them to slow down. 【答案】36. A 37. B 38. B 39. C 40. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲了非母语英语人士沟通更清晰易懂，母语人士语速快、俚语多，反而易造成误解。 【36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language?”可知，作者通过问问题开始，故选A。 【37题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第四段“As an Australian living in China, this is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues...I know they will understand.”可知，“they”指代“Chinese colleagues”，故选B。 【38题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Once, I told my colleague, which is slang for ‘no problem’. However, she thought I was calling her a drama queen (大惊小怪的人) and got upset.”可知，Chong的同事不高兴是因为他使用了俚语。故选B。 【39题详解】 推理判断题。根据“English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, slang (说俚语) and mention their countries that others may not understand.”可推知，有时俚语不适合国际交流。故选C。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly.”可知，建议让母语为英语的人放慢说话速度，这样可以避免交流中的困难，故选D。 D It has been two months since Richard Watson wore 200 special transmitters (信号发射机) for his cows. They are parts of an artificial intelligence (AI) system named Ida. This AI system can send messages to Watson’s phone when his cows are healthy or when they are not feeling well, and it can tell how many animals are sick to the dairy farmers (奶农) and also help them pick out the sick animals. With the AI system, farmers can get the information they need from their phones instead of going to the farms to check animals every day. So, this AI system can help people spare their time to do other things. Many dairy farmers are interested in Ida. Watson is one of them. On a common morning in March, he pulled out his phone to check his Ida App. It showed that Cows #97800 and #97782 were eating less. This might mean that there was something wrong with them. However, some farmers say, “I can find out the cow that isn’t feeling great just by looking at her eyes.” Mark Rodgers is a neighbor of Watson’s. He said, “This is what I can do by myself. My experience can help me look after them better. Technology isn’t always useful.” Ida was developed by the company Connecterra. Yasir Khokhar, the company’s boss, said he came up with the idea while he was living on a farm in Holland. The system can record cow’s behaviors by studying videos of them. It now can track seven cow’s behaviors. The company is still trying to improve this technology to provide much more convenience for farmers. 41. The AI system Ida can help farmers ________. ① look after their animals ② pick out the sick animals ③ count the sick animals ④ change animals’ behaviors A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ②④ 42. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Farmers have problems feeding cows. B. Farmers are busy checking the animals. C. AI technologies are used in many fields. D. This AI system is popular with dairy farmers. 43. What can we infer from the text? A. Yasir Khokhar will stop his company business. B. Richard Watson will keep more cows on his farm. C. Mark Rodgers doesn’t want any help from the system. D. The system can also provide the cows with treatment. 44. Which of the following best describes (描述) Yasir Khokhar? A. Creative. B. Brave. C. Honest. D. Friendly. 45. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To sell the product of Ida. B. To list the features of Ida. C. To improve the design of Ida. D. To give the introduction of Ida. 【答案】41. B 42. D 43. C 44. A 45. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项名为Ida的AI科技给奶农带来的好处及便利，虽然仍有一些奶农并不认可这项技术，但开发公司仍在努力改进，以便为奶农提供更好的服务。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This AI system can send messages to Watson’s phone when his cows are healthy or when they are not feeling well, and it can tell how many animals are sick to the dairy farmers and also help them pick out the sick animals.”可知，该AI系统可以向奶农告知有多少动物生病，还可以帮助他们挑选生病动物，B选项“②挑出生病的动物③ 计数生病的动物”与文章相符。故选B。 【42题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段整段可知，第二段介绍了借助这个AI系统，奶农可以从手机上获取所需信息，无需每天去农场检查动物，因此，他们腾出时间去做其他事情，许多奶农对Ida感兴趣，即这个AI系统很受奶农的欢迎。故选D。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Mark Rodgers is a neighbor of Watson’s. He said, ‘This is what I can do by myself. My experience can help me look after them better. Technology isn’t always useful.’”可知，马克·罗杰斯表示这是我自己能做的，我的经验可以帮助我更好地照顾它们，技术并不总是有用的，可推测马克·罗杰斯不希望系统提供任何帮助。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据“Yasir Khokhar, the company’s boss, said he came up with the idea while he was living on a farm in Holland.”可知，Yasir Khokhar，公司的老板，他说，他是在荷兰的一个农场生活时想出这个主意的，可推测Yasir Khokhar很有创造力。故选A。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文可知，文章主要介绍了一项名为Ida的AI科技给奶农带来的好处及便利，虽然仍有一些奶农并不认可这项技术，但开发公司仍在努力改进，以便为奶农提供更好的服务，即文章主要目的在于介绍Ida。故选D。 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone, your words carry a message.

B Barry and Lisa Moss live in a pretty village in Suffolk, England. They left London two years ago, but they still can’t believe how much their life has changed. In London, they were successful. And they were very wealthy. They had a big apartment and two expensive cars. They used to spend a lot of money on clothes and vacations. They did all these things without thinking because they had lots of money. But did they enjoy their life? One day, Lisa was driving home. She suddenly realized (意识到) that it was always dark when she left home in the morning and dark when she left the office in the evening. She usually came home in a bad mood. And she used to work most weekends, too. Barry was too busy to have time for his hobbies—cooking and fishing. So both of them thought it was time to change. The Mosses sold their apartment and cars, found a house in a village and set up a small restaurant. “It’s perfect,” says Lisa. “We grow all the fruit and vegetables for the restaurant. Barry does the cooking and I love talking to customers.” The Mosses still work hard, but their life now is quite different from that in London. “Though now we don’t make as much money as we did before.” laughs Barry, “we have time to do all the things we like.” Do they miss London? “We’re happy with fewer things! And in fact, we don’t think about London anymore!” says Lisa. 31. The underlined word “wealthy” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. rich B. active C. clever D. safe 32. What made the Mosses decide to move to a village? A. Their hobbies. B. Their busy life. C. The beauty of the village. D. The idea of opening a restaurant. 33. In the village, the Mosses ________. A. work as cooks B. make a lot of money C. have a restaurant D. have to work most weekends 34. What do the Mosses think of their life in the village? A. Enjoyable. B. Exciting. C. Boring. D. Disappointing. 35. What could be the best title of this passage? A. London, An Unfriendly City B. Less Money, More Time C. A Simple Life, A Dream Life D. Good Beginning, Bad Ending C Do you think native English speakers are best at speaking the English language? Some experts (专家) believe that when it comes to successfully communicating in English, non-native speakers are actually easier to understand. “Often you have a room full of people from different countries communicating in English and all understand each other. And when suddenly the American or British person walks into the room and nobody can understand them,” Chia Susan Chong, an English culture expert, told the BBC. Chong said this happens because non-native speakers communicate more carefully. “English speakers, on the other hand, often talk too fast, slang (说俚语) and mention their countries that others may not understand.” Chong said. “As an Australian living in China, this is something that I keep in mind when talking to my Chinese colleagues. I’m careful to speak slowly and use words. I know they will understand. But sometimes, we confuse (使困惑) each other. Once, I told my colleague, which is slang for ‘no problem’. However, she thought I was calling her a drama queen (大惊小怪的人) and got upset.” But don’t worry. Experts say that it’s the native speakers’ fault (错误) if they can’t understand you, not yours. “English speakers with no other language never have the awareness (意识) to speak English internationally.” English language teacher Dale Coulter told the BBC. The best way to avoid any trouble might be to ask for some patience. If you find it difficult to understand an English speaker, don’t be afraid to ask them to slow down and speak clearly. 36. How does the writer start this passage? A. By asking a question. B. By listing a number. C. By giving a reason. D. By showing an example. 37. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Culture experts. B. Chinese colleagues. C. Native speakers. D. Non-native speakers. 38. Why did the Chong’s colleague get upset? A. Because Chong talked fast. B. Because Chong used slang. C. Because Chong made a joke. D. Because Chong mentioned Australia. 39. What can we infer from the passage? A. Native speakers communicate more carefully. B. If you can’t understand native speakers, it’s your fault. C. Sometimes slang isn’t proper for the international communication. D. Dale Coulter has no idea of how to speak English internationally. 40. How can we avoid trouble when we communicate with native speakers? A. We may pay more patience. B. We could speak English clearly. C. We should ask them to use slang. D. We’d better tell them to slow down. D It has been two months since Richard Watson wore 200 special transmitters (信号发射机) for his cows. They are parts of an artificial intelligence (AI) system named Ida. This AI system can send messages to Watson’s phone when his cows are healthy or when they are not feeling well and it can tell how many animals are sick to the dairy farmers (奶农) and also help them pick out the sick animals. With the AI system, farmers can get the information they need from their phones instead of going to the farms to check animals every day. So, this AI system can help people spare their time to do other things. Many dairy farmers are interested in Ida. Watson is one of them. On a common morning in March, he pulled out his phone to check his Ida App. It showed that Cows #97800 and #97782 were eating less. This might mean that there was something wrong with them. However, some farmers say, “I can find out the cow that isn’t feeling great just by looking at her eyes.” Mark Rodgers is a neighbor of Watson’s. He said, “This is what I can do by myself. My experience can help me look after them better. Technology isn’t always useful.” Ida was developed by the company Connecterra. Yasir Khokhar, the company’s boss, said he came up with the idea while he was living on a farm in Holland. The system can record cow’s behaviors by studying videos of them. It now can track seven cow’s behaviors. The company is still trying to improve this technology to provide much more convenience for farmers. 41. The AI system Ida can help farmers ________. ① look after their animals ② pick out the sick animals ③ count the sick animals ④ change animals’ behaviors A. ①② B. ②③ C. ③④ D. ②④ 42. What can we know from Paragraph 2? A. Farmers have problems feeding cows. B. Farmers are busy checking the animals. C. AI technologies are used in many fields. D. This AI system is popular with dairy farmers. 43. What can we infer from the text? A. Yasir Khokhar will stop his company business. B. Richard Watson will keep more cows on his farm. C Mark Rodgers doesn’t want any help from the system. D. The system can also provide the cows with treatment. 44. Which of the following best describes (描述) Yasir Khokhar? A. Creative. B. Brave. C. Honest. D. Friendly. 45. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To sell the product of Ida. B. To list the features of Ida. C. To improve the design of Ida. D. To give the introduction of Ida. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone, your words carry a message.
