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.”（它于2007年完工。建筑被人工湖环绕，客人需要通过地下走廊进入。它有一个歌剧院、一个音乐厅和一个剧院。）可知，在The National Centre for the Performing Arts有一个歌剧院、一个音乐厅和一个剧院可以观看到不同的表演。故选D。 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. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者游玩北京颐和园的经历，事先了解了信息，然后参观了必看的佛香阁、德和园戏台，并乘船欣赏了昆明湖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet.”（出发前，我在网上查了一下。）可知，作者在出发前上网了解了一些颐和园的情况。故选B。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“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.”（不像其他地方，在颐和园大多数建筑都不允许拍照。大多数佛像和其他文物的照片都是摄影师的off⁃limits。）可知，颐和园的大多数建筑不允许拍照，由此推知，位于建筑中的佛像和手工艺品大多也禁止拍照，因此off-limits与forbidden意思相近。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items.”（另一个亮点是看到了为慈禧太后创造的戏台，她在那里观看戏曲和其他剧场节目。）可知，戏台是给皇室看戏剧等演出的。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But I didn’t see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.”（但我没有全部看完，因为天黑了。我多么希望能再去一次。）可知，因为天快黑了，作者没能欣赏到颐和园的全部景观，只参观了颐和园的一部分。故选D。 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. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。佐治亚理工学院的Ashok Goel教授开发了一种人工智能教学助手，以帮助处理在线课堂上学生提出的众多问题。文章主要介绍了Goel教授和他的团队开发这款名为Jill Watson的虚拟助手的经过，以及学生们对它的反应和这款虚拟助手未来的前景。 8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class.”可知佐治亚理工学院的Ashok Goel教授开发了一种人工智能教学助手，以帮助处理在线课堂上学生提出的众多问题。由此可知，由于学生的问题太多，Goel教授创建了一个虚拟的教学助手。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“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.(经过一些调整，吉尔回答学生问题的正确率达到了97%。虚拟助理变得如此先进和现实，以至于学生们都不知道她是一台电脑。研究人工智能的学生在与人工智能进行交互时无法将其与真人区分开来)”以及后文“The students were actually very positive about the experience.”可知学生们实际上对这次经历非常乐观。由此可知，结果Jill Watson获得了巨大的成功。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all questions raised by students.”可知Goel教授的虚拟助理明年的目标是回答学生提出的40%的问题。由此可知，Goel教授接下来计划使Jill Watson能够回答更多的问题。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the numerous questions from students in the online class.”可知佐治亚理工学院的Ashok Goel教授开发了一种人工智能教学助手，以帮助处理在线课堂上学生提出的众多问题。结合文章主要介绍了Goel教授和他的团队开发这款名为Jill Watson的虚拟助手的经过，以及学生们对它的反应和这款虚拟助手未来的前景。由此推断，文章主要内容为虚拟助教帮助解决大量的在线问题。故选D。 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. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在你脚下很深的地方，蕴藏着无穷无尽的能量。地核的温度大约和太阳表面一样高，以至于它上面的岩层融化成岩浆，也就是液态岩石。文章重点介绍了地热能源的利用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The power plant has pipelines that send the steam into the turbines where electricity flow is generated.”（发电厂有管道将蒸汽送入涡轮机，在那里产生电力。）可知，电力是在发电厂的涡轮机这个部分产生的。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“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.”（那么，为什么我们不都用地球上的免费蒸汽来为我们的家供暖呢？首先，热量必须离地表足够近，这样我们才能到达。其次，必须有足够的地下水来加热。最后，必须有一层岩石，水或蒸汽可以通过。所以在这三种能源同时存在的地方，地热能可以成为一种强大的可再生能源。）可推知，不适宜的地质条件和潜在的危险阻碍了免费蒸汽的广泛发展。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“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.”（在岩浆附近钻探还有另一个危险——如果管道和其他设备碰到岩浆区或被火山喷发困住，它们可能会融化。2018年，夏威夷的一家地热发电厂部分被熔岩掩埋。）可推知，提到了夏威夷的地下地热发电厂是为了说明在岩浆附近钻探所造成的危险。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Geothermal energy isn't the answer for everywhere, but it's a piece of the puzzle to help slow climate change.”（地热能源并不是所有地方的解决方案，但它是减缓气候变化的拼图中的一块。）可推知，作者对地热能源的态度是赞成的。故选D项。 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.

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?

So, they went to the local supermarket together. They bought some special bags for popcorn. When they got home, they made a lot of popcorn and put it in the special bags. With the popcorn, they went to Bernard’s home. They told Bernard how to sell the popcorn. Bernard and his parents were very grateful. And the Meredith family also felt very happy to help this family. With everything ready, Bernard started out on his new business. He took the popcorn around to the houses and sold all his popcorn. He earned a lot of money. Then, he wanted to be self-dependent. Therefore, he asked Mrs. Meredith to teach him how to make popcorn. After that, not only did he sell popcorn, but he also added cream and salt to the popcorn to make it taste better. Bernard grew up to be a remarkable man. He did not forget the help of Meredith’s family, and he also did what he could to help those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了善良的梅雷迪斯一家住在一个小社区里。他们想帮助一个贫困的家庭。那家的男主人生病卧床,女主人要照顾丈夫无法外出赚钱，家中的小男孩伯纳德也做不了什么事情，生活十分困难。后来梅雷迪斯的孩子想出一个主意，制作爆米花让伯纳德去卖爆米花挣钱故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“梅雷迪思太太听说约翰的主意后，也觉得很好。”可知，第一段可描写梅雷迪思和孩子们一起制作爆米花的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“一切准备就绪后，伯纳德开始了他的新生意。”可知，第二段可描写伯纳德卖光了爆米花并且挣到了很多钱，以及表达对梅雷迪思一家的感恩之情。 2.续写线索：梅雷迪思太太觉得主意很好——决定制作白爆米花——拿着爆米花去了伯纳德家——伯纳德开始了他的新生意——挣到了很多钱——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回到家：got home/went back home/arrive home ②.开始：started out/set out ③.挣钱：earn money/make money 情绪类 ①.感激的：grateful/thankful/ appreciative ②.高兴的：happy /glad 【点睛】[高分句型1].

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.
