Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge. Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills. His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views. His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!” 4. Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban? A. For his simple words. B. For his popular videos. C. For his carpentry skills. D. For his excellent arch bridge. 5. What do Grandpa Amu’s remarks mean in Paragraph 2? A. Theory is from pracitce. B. Success depends on love. C. Excellent skills lie in hard work. D. Happiness comes from interest. 6. What is the unique feature of Grandpa Amu’s craft works? A. No nails or glue. B. Delicate design. C. The apple shape. D. The wooden material. 7. What message does this text mainly convey? A. Being popular means more fans. B. Perfect skills earn more money. C. Supporting family needs more skills. D. Traditional crafts deserve passing on. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇新闻报道，讲述了中国63岁的木匠王德文因其高超的木匠技术在网络走红。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry knowledge.(在YouTube上被称为“阿木爷爷”的王德文，因其丰富的木工知识，被誉为当代的鲁班)”可知，阿木爷爷王德文因为其丰富的木匠知识被称之为当代鲁班。故选C。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.(做一件事，就要热爱它，就要对它感兴趣；然而，感兴趣并不意味着只有快乐就没有痛苦)”可知，要做好一件事情喜欢和热爱是前提，但是想要做好一件事单凭兴趣是远远不够的。由此推知，想要做好一件事，不仅需要兴趣爱好，还需要投入大量的时间和精力来练习。即精湛的技能需要反复地训练。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge.(阿木爷爷遵循中国古代的榫卯技术，也就是说，在建造拱桥的整个过程中，没有钉子和胶水的参与)”可知，阿木爷爷的作品遵循中国古代的榫卯技术，没有使用钉子和胶水。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!(太棒了。我希望这些传统工艺能够传承下去)”可知，作者引用网友的评论想要表面这种精湛的传统木匠技术应该代代流传下去。即传统手工艺值得传承。故选D。 C Amazon recently announced its latest launch, a robot called Astro. Small in size, but with impressive technology, Astro is seemingly similar to Amazon’s popular virtual assistant. With all the same capabilities as Alexa, many critics are asking why there’s a need for Astro. Answering this question, Amazon’s Vice-President of Products, Charlie Tritschler, highlights some unique features of Astro that make it a different kind of robot. Astro can move on its own and follow people, offering consumers a far broader range of options. Besides, it can monitor home security. Astro uses Artificial Intelligence to learn more about household members by interacting with users. Users can also register themselves and others into its recognition system. When they leave home, they can make an away mode, which means “Sentry (哨兵) Mode”, or “Patrol Mode” start working. If someone who is not recognized enters the house, Astro will follow and record them. Astro’s mobility seems to be the key feature in its technological enhancement, but what appeals to people most is its “unique persona”. Its big, circular, blinking “eyes” displayed on its screen-like head making it look rather cute are a big reason for this. Years of research show that humans often experience positive emotional connections with robots. According to MIT’s technology review of Astro, it may not fall far from this observation. People have come to love robotic pets, though they are fully aware that the pets are lifeless. Robots at home can play a useful role in helping elderly patients fight loneliness or young children face social anxiety. Amazon is offering people interested in Astro the chance to sign up for Day 1 Editions, a program giving invitations to Astro as soon as it goes on the market later this year. Tritschler is encouraging people to personalize the robot when it becomes available, and he is confident that users will come up with more ideas and features they will want to see in the robot in the near future to make it even better. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The convenient operation of Astro. B. The essential functions of Astro. C. The increasing popularity of Astro. D. The distinctive capabilities of Astro. 9. Which aspect of Astro attracts people most? A. Its recognition system. B. Its ability to move on its own. C. Its adorable appearance. D. Its ability to monitor home security. 10. What is Tritschler’s attitude to the future of Astro? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Astro: A Robot Assistant B. The New Revolution of AI C. Astro: An Emotional Relief D. The Great Potential of Robots 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是亚马逊最近发布的一款名为Astro的机器人。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中的“Answering this question, Amazon’s Vice-President of Products, Charlie Tritschler, highlights some unique features of Astro that make it a different kind of robot.(在回答这个问题时，亚马逊产品副总裁Charlie Tritschler强调了Astro的一些独特功能，使其成为一种不同的机器人。)”结合下文中介绍的Astro的一些独特的功能可知，本段主要介绍的是Astro的一些独特的功能。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的：“Its big, circular, blinking “eyes” displayed on its screen-like head making it look rather cute are a big reason for this.(它像屏幕一样的头上长着大大的、圆形的、闪烁的“眼睛”，这让它看起来相当可爱，这是一个重要的原因。)”可知，Astro头上长着的大大的、圆形的、闪烁的“眼睛”让他看起来很可爱，由此可知，Astro最吸引人的是它可爱的外表。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Tritschler is encouraging people to personalize the robot when it becomes available, and he is confident that users will come up with more ideas and features they will want to see in the robot in the near future to make it even better.(特里奇勒鼓励人们在机器人可用时对其进行个性化设计，他相信在不久的将来，用户会提出更多的想法和功能，让机器人变得更好。)”可知，Tritschler相信在不久的将来，用户会提出更多的想法和功能，让机器人变得更好，由此可知，Tritschler对Astro的未来持乐观的态度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据首段中的“Amazon recently announced its latest launch, a robot called Astro. Small in size, but with impressive technology, Astro is seemingly similar to Amazon’s popular virtual assistant.(亚马逊最近发布了一款名为Astro的机器人。Astro体积小，但技术令人印象深刻，看起来与亚马逊流行的虚拟助手类似。)”结合下文中的介绍的Astro的独特的功能以及对机器人未来发展情况的介绍可知，本文主要介绍的是亚马逊推出的一款称为Astro的机器人，所以题目“Astro：机器人助手”与本文的内容吻合，且可以概括本文的主题，适合作为本文的最佳题目。故选A项。 D Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions. Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B. To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven. C. To express older people’s concern about the young generation. D. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. 13. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A. He made changes to basic performance skills. B. He made use of symbols and motions equally. C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 14. What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一部京剧电影《大闹天宫》，它将中国传统表演艺术京剧和电影结合在一起，应用了科技创新，同时保留了京剧的原始魅力。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章第一段主要介绍了世界上的老年人都希望年轻人不要沉迷于电子设备，应该多关注古典艺术，并举出中国名著《西游记》为例。根据文章第二段第一句“Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West.”（一部新的京剧电影《大闹天宫》以《西游记》中最著名的章节之一为主线，吸引了更多的观众欣赏中国传统表演艺术的魅力。）可知，下文主要是通过介绍京剧电影《大闹天宫》，来展现中国传统表演艺术的魅力。由此可推断出，文章第一段的目的是激发读者对中国传统表演艺术的兴趣。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第一句“Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music.”（舞台上的一些背景图像，如一个彩绘的瀑布，仍然保留下来，现场乐队为电影提供声音，而不是使用预先录制的音乐。）可知，在这部电影中，用现场乐队为电影提供声音，而不是使用预先录制的音乐。由此可知，郑导演在制作这部电影时坚持用乐队在现场演奏音乐。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段关键句“On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds.”（另一方面，需要一些创造力，因为郑和他的团队不只是想记录一场舞台表演。计算机技术也被用于实现一些视觉效果和呈现不可能的场景，例如爆炸或漂浮在云中的天庭。）可知，在这部电影中，郑和他的团队也有一些创新，他们用计算机技术实现一些视觉效果和呈现不可能的场景。由此可知，郑和他的团队所做的创新是用现代技术丰富了视觉效果。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段关键句“However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression.”（然而，许多京剧的改编电影中对特效的过度使用，削弱了舞台表演的原有魅力。想象力（由舞台赋予的）永远不能因电影的表达而牺牲。）可知，传统舞台表演的想象力永远不能因电影的表达而牺牲，京剧是传统舞台表演的形式。由此可推断出，从最后一段我们可以得知，京剧的原始魅力不能为电影而牺牲。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. ___16___ Create a clean environment. When it’s a task where you are seated at a desk, then you will need to clean the desk area and become more organized. Let’s suppose you are trying to quit smoking. ___17___ In other words, on your quit date the house and car you occupy need to be “smokeless” in every way. No ashtrays, lighters, etc. ___18___For example, if your intention is to be a non-smoker then you are more likely to succeed hanging out in a local gym instead of a local bar. Choose the right place, and you can cut out the distractions you have control over and minimize the ones you can’t stop completely. Focus on one task at a time. Though many people think that multi-tasking is a great way to accomplish goals more quickly and to get two or three things done at once, multi-tasking is actually harmful to your concentration. Occupied with many tasks, you may think you’re getting more done. ___19___ Therefore, work on getting just one thing done at a time and you’ll see that you get this done more quickly. ___20___Do this in writing in outline form, and breaking down the steps can help your mind from not getting overwhelmed. A. Set small steps and short term goals. B. Create the environment to allow this to be possible. C. Make a list of goals at the beginning of every day or week. D. Select a proper place where you are most likely to be able to focus. E. If you really want to get good grades, you should keep yourself from getting distracted. F.

If you want to improve your focus, you need to learn how to avoid distractions before accomplishing a task. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. D 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍了如何提高注意力，避免分心。 【16题详解】 根据第二段“Create a clean environment”（创造一个干净的环境），和第四段“Focus on one task at a time.”（一次只专注于一项任务）可知，如果你想提供注意力，需要学习如何在完成任务前避免分心，能够起到承上启下的过渡作用。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后边“In other words, on your quit date the house and car you occupy need to be “smokeless” in every way. No ashtrays, lighters, etc. ”（换句话说，在你戒烟的日子里，你所居住的房子和汽车需要在各个方面都“无烟”。没有烟灰缸、打火机等”可知，前边说“创设条件，使之成为可能”，能够引出下文，指出创造“无烟”环境，故填B。 【18题详解】 根据后边“For example, if your intention is to be a non-smoker then you are more likely to succeed hanging out in a local gym instead of a local bar”（例如，如果你的目的是做一个不吸烟的人，那么你就更有可能成功地在当地的健身房里锻炼，而不是去当地的酒吧）可知，应该选择一个你最可能集中注意力的地方，去健身房而不是酒吧就是一个具体的例子，故填D。 【19题详解】 根据这一段的第一句“Focus on one task at a time.”（一次只专注于一项任务）可知，很多任务对你的注意力是不利的，only one task与one task at a time一致，故填F。 【20题详解】 根据后边“Do this in writing in outline form, and breaking down the steps can help your mind from not getting overwhelmed. ”（用提纲形式写下来，分解这些步骤可以帮助你的头脑不至于崩溃）可知，要设定小的步骤和短期的目标，small steps与short term goals一致，故填A。 第三部分 语言运用（共5节；满分55分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Maybe it's my love of baseball that connects my aunt Helen and me.

B A 63-year-old Chinese carpenter’s traditional skills have become an unexpected Internet hit as he creates woodwork with a single piece of wood, without glue, screws or nails. Wang De wen, known as “Grandpa Amu” on YouTube, has been praised as the modern day Lu Ban, a well-known Chinese structural engineer during the Zhou Dynasty, thanks to his rich carpentry(木工手艺) knowledge. Grandpa Amu’s most popular video, which shows him making a delicate wooden arch bridge, has gone viral on YouTube, gaining more than 40 million views. “If you do something, you have to love it, and you have to be interested in it; however, being interested doesn’t mean there’s only happiness and no pain.” Grandpa Amu shared when talking about his excellent carpentry skills. His most popular works include a folding stool, a model of the China pavilion from the 2010 Shanghai Expo, and an apple-shaped interlocking puzzle, known as a Lu Ban lock. Grandpa Amu follows an ancient Chinese mortise and tenon(榫卯) technique, which means no nails or glue are involved in the entire process of building the arch bridge. The master carpenter has also made several wooden toys for his grandson using the same technique. His young grandson’s favorites include a walking Peppa Pig and a bubble blowing machine. Attracting over 1.17 million fans on YouTube, Grandpa Amu’s videos so far have gained more than 200 million views. His wonderful woodworking skills, using the same mortise and tenon joints found in the Forbidden City, were developed from the age of thirteen as a way of supporting his family in East China’s Shandong Province. “The grandson is so happy, as there have been so many fine and unique toys made by grandpa from an early age,” commented one netizen; while another said “It’s amazing. I hope these traditional crafts can be passed on!” 4. Why is Grandpa Amu regarded as the modern day Lu Ban? A. For his simple words. B. For his popular videos. C. For his carpentry skills. D.

C Amazon recently announced its latest launch, a robot called Astro. Small in size, but with impressive technology, Astro is seemingly similar to Amazon’s popular virtual assistant. With all the same capabilities as Alexa, many critics are asking why there’s a need for Astro. Answering this question, Amazon’s Vice-President of Products, Charlie Tritschler, highlights some unique features of Astro that make it a different kind of robot. Astro can move on its own and follow people, offering consumers a far broader range of options. Besides, it can monitor home security. Astro uses Artificial Intelligence to learn more about household members by interacting with users. Users can also register themselves and others into its recognition system. When they leave home, they can make an away mode, which means “Sentry (哨兵) Mode”, or “Patrol Mode” start working. If someone who is not recognized enters the house, Astro will follow and record them. Astro’s mobility seems to be the key feature in its technological enhancement, but what appeals to people most is its “unique persona”. Its big, circular, blinking “eyes” displayed on its screen-like head making it look rather cute are a big reason for this. Years of research show that humans often experience positive emotional connections with robots. According to MIT’s technology review of Astro, it may not fall far from this observation. People have come to love robotic pets, though they are fully aware that the pets are lifeless. Robots at home can play a useful role in helping elderly patients fight loneliness or young children face social anxiety. Amazon is offering people interested in Astro the chance to sign up for Day 1 Editions, a program giving invitations to Astro as soon as it goes on the market later this year. Tritschler is encouraging people to personalize the robot when it becomes available, and he is confident that users will come up with more ideas and features they will want to see in the robot in the near future to make it even better. 8. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. The convenient operation of Astro. B. The essential functions of Astro. C. The increasing popularity of Astro. D. The distinctive capabilities of Astro. 9. Which aspect of Astro attracts people most? A. Its recognition system. B. Its ability to move on its own. C. Its adorable appearance. D. Its ability to monitor home security. 10. What is Tritschler’s attitude to the future of Astro? A. Critical. B. Positive. C. Uncertain. D. Doubtful. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Astro: A Robot Assistant B. The New Revolution of AI C. Astro: An Emotional Relief D. The Great Potential of Robots D Many older people around the world have at least one common concern: How to get younger people, hooked on their electronic devices, interested in classic art. Take the Monkey King, or Sun Wukong, as an example. The main character in the 16th-century classic novel, Journey to the West, is a romantic figure of bravery and adventure that charmed millions of readers before the appearance of online attractions. Havoc in Heaven, a new Peking Opera film, attracted the wider public to the glamor of the traditional Chinese performance art, featuring one of the best-known chapters from Journey to the West. This film, expected to create a new channel to promote Peking Opera, includes nearly all the key ingredients of Peking Opera. It covers all the basic techniques, more than 10 classic tunes, and makeup for dozens of facial representations of different figures’ characteristics. It’s actually a big challenge to combine Peking Opera and film, each of which has its own rhythm, according to Cheng Lu, director of the film, who is adopting a fresh approach to present the traditional art form. One challenge that Cheng and his production team faced is how to balance the new approach with maintaining the fundamentals of the art. The basic principles and performance skills in Peking Opera cannot be changed. For example, performances in Peking Opera often emphasize symbolism over the accurate representation of motion. There are never real horses on stage, and the film reflects that. And when Sun Wukong eats peaches, he merely copies the action of eating without taking a bite. Some background images on stage, such as a painted waterfall, remain, and a live band was on the set to provide sound for the film, rather than employing the pre-recorded music. “If we change traditions to cater to people’s taste and preference for a regular film, it will no longer be a Peking Opera piece of art,” Cheng said. On the other hand, some creativity was needed because Cheng and his team did not just want to document a stage performance. Computer technology is also applied to achieve some visual effects and to present impossible scenes, such as explosions or the heavenly court floating in the clouds. Also, the filming process leaves no room for actors to make the slightest mistake in front of cameras, such as those that would probably go unnoticed in an opera house. Peking Opera films played a powerful role in the 1960s and 70s, but their popularity gave way to more diverse entertainment. In recent years, there has been a recovery in the popularity of Peking Opera films. However, the overuse of special effects in many film adaptations of Peking Opera plays has weakened the original charm of the stage performances. The imagination (enabled by the stage) can never be sacrificed for a film’s expression. 12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To blame young people addicted to electronic devices. B. To advertise a new Peking Opera film, Havoc in Heaven. C. To express older people’s concern about the young generation. D. To arouse readers’ interest in traditional Chinese performance art. 13. What did Director Cheng do while producing the film? A. He made changes to basic performance skills. B. He made use of symbols and motions equally. C. He insisted on a band playing music on the scene. D. He brought onto the stage exact details of real life. 14. What innovation did Cheng’s team make? A. They opposed a rigid recording of the performance. B. They enriched visual effects with modern technology. C. They allowed actors to repeat actions before the camera. D. They adopted real explosion scenes during the shooting. 15. What can we conclude from the last paragraph? A. Imagination is a unique charm of Peking Opera films. B. Technology makes up for the loss of stage imagination. C. There is some possibility for a film to replace Peking Opera. D. The original charm of Peking Opera cannot be sacrificed for films. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Improving your focus can make you a better student or employee as well as a happier and more organized person. ___16___ Create a clean environment.
