One man, one bike and the first Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why? The author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. So, he bought the unusual bike from a group of Australian university students (who had built it themselves) and set off. On route, he has lots of amusing experiences. He almost dies in a crash and he even attempts to break the land speed record for a motorbike running . You Are Awful (But I Like You) Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore Travel writers usually go to the best destinations. But not Tim Moore. In the book, Tim travels to the worst places in the UK. Follow him as he heads to “the bleakest towns, the worst hotels and the scariest pubs”. And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. “My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author. And he does meet lots of quirky characters and discovers that even Britain’s ugliest parts have an inner beauty. Coasting: A Private Voyage by Jonathan Raban In 1982, author Jonathan Raban bought a boat and navigated Britain. And this is the book about his adventure. Along the way he gets caught in a few storms, explores seaside towns and even takes his aging parents along for part of the journey. Raban also uses his time at sea to think about how 1980s Britain is changing under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. 1. What mainly reflects Paul Carter’s travel around Australia? A.

Criticizing the tourism industry’s focus on popular destinations. D. Exposing the hidden charm of overlooked places. 3. What commonalities do the three books share? A. They are all written by famous travel writers. B. They focus on luxurious travel experiences. C. They involve unique and unconventional travel experiences. D. They offer alternative fuel sources and their applications. 【答案】1. A 2. D 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了三本讲述作者独特旅行体验书。 【1题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的句子“There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why? The author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. (在澳大利亚有很多种旅行方式。你可以乘飞机、火车或汽车去。但作家保罗·卡特决定骑一辆用食用油驱动的自制摩托车环游这个国家。为什么?作者在石油行业工作多年，热衷于探索替代燃料。)”可知，作者保罗·卡特决定骑一辆用食用油驱动的自制摩托车环游澳大利亚，因为它使用的是化石燃料的替代品，所以他一定是出于保护环境的目的才这样做的。故选A项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段的句子““My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author. And he does meet lots of quirky characters and discovers that even Britain’s ugliest parts have an inner beauty.(“我的主要挑战是在每个人都说我不会去的地方玩得开心，”作者说。他确实遇到了许多古怪的人物，并发现即使是英国最丑陋的地方也有一种内在的美。)”可以推论出，蒂姆·摩尔试图揭示被忽视的地方隐藏的魅力。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章介绍的三本书的内容可知，三本书都描述了作者独特和非传统的旅行体验。故选C项。 B I have always been a design enthusiast and painting something never fails to fill me up with joy. Once I took my brother’s old shoes and started my creation on them on a casual afternoon. He had almost decided to throw them away, but that was when I picked them up, thinking to give it a shot with the pictures. When my brother saw the final piece, he decided to wear the shoes again. The concept, Upcycling Is A Fun Process, occurred to me that day. I understood that if I can give a makeover to certain things, they’ll be of use again and there is nothing better than returning the use to something while protecting nature. I shared my work online and started making notebooks, bookmarks, and name signs. Gradually I sharpened my skills. For almost a year, I have been trying my hand at upcycling things such as shoes, bags, T-shirts and so on, for many people. I make over things in different ways to suit the needs of their future owners; that is what I put before everything else in most of my works. I see upcycling as an opportunity to give a makeover to old stuff, restore its value, reduce waste and have lots of fun. I want to normalize upcycling, especially in a world where “ring out the old, ring in the new” is so common with fast fashion trends, fast food, and our boredom with most material things. With respect to art and upcycling, I soon start working on jeans to give them a new look. Most of us throw away our old jeans just because they’re behind the times. But they can be something that is all the rage. I’m aiming to take those pitiful pairs of pants and turn them into something worth keeping and in style. Such practices are always beneficial as they help with sustainable development. After all, we have limited resources and must use them wisely. 4. What gave the author the idea of upcycling old things? A. Her design talent. B. A cheer from her brother. C. A painting experience. D. Her concern over the environment. 5. What does the author think most important in the upcycling process? A. Improving her skill. B. Tailoring every object. C. Keeping original value. D. Avoiding material waste. 6. Why does the author mention “ring out the old, ring in the new”? A. To stress the value of old things. B. To criticize the craze for new trends. C. To show difficulties with her work. D. To explain the necessity of upcycling. 7. What does the underlined phrase “all the rage” mean in the last paragraph? A. On-trend. B. Wear-resistant. C. Eco-friendly. D. Good-looking. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。作者热爱设计和画画，她通过升级改造旧物品，如鞋子和牛仔裤等，赋予它们新生命，同时在线分享作品，推广这种既环保又有趣的方式。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The concept, Upcycling Is A Fun Process, occurred to me that day. (那天我想到了“Upcycling Is A Fun Process”的概念。)”，并且联系到第一段的内容可知，作者描述了她在哥哥准备扔掉的旧鞋子上画画，最终的作品让哥哥决定再次穿上那双鞋子由此可知，是在鞋子上画画的经历给了作者这一想法。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I make over things in different ways to suit the needs of their future owners; that is what I put before everything else in most of my works. (我以不同的方式改造事物，以适应它们未来所有者的需求；这是我在大多数作品中首先考虑的事情。)”可知，作者在升级改造物品的过程中优先考虑的是定制物品以满足其未来所有者的需求。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I want to normalize upcycling, especially in a world where “ring out the old, ring in the new” is so common with fast fashion trends, fast food, and our boredom with most material things. (我希望使升级改造成为一种常态，尤其是在“弃旧迎新”变得极为普遍的世界，到处都是快时尚、快餐，我们对大多数物质事物都感到厌倦。)”可知，作者提到“弃旧迎新”是为了强调升级改造的必要性。故选D项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Most of us throw away our old jeans just because they’re behind the times. But they can be something that is all the rage. (我们大多数人仅仅因为旧牛仔裤过时了就把它们扔掉。但它们完全可以成为流行的东西。)”可知，画线短语所在句应表示“但它们完全可以成为流行的东西”，既与上文构成转折，又能解释下文作者的行为。故画线短语应该表示“时尚的”，A项含义与之相近。故选A项。 C Landscape paintings of the 19th century displayed in London’s Tate Britain museum looked rather familiar to Anna Lea Albright, a climate researcher. Artist William Turner’s unique way of painting objects in foggy weather let Albright recall her early research on air pollution. “I started wondering if there was a connection,” says Albright, who visited the museum on a day off from work. Turner — an English Romantic painter — was painting as increasing industrial plants earned London the name “The Big Smoke”. Turner’s early works were done with sharp details while later works had a dreamier aesthetic (美感). To figure out to what extent Impressionists were reflecting the environmental conditions of that time, Albright partnered with climatologist Peter Huybers. They analyzed the contrast of 60 works created by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet between 1864 and 1901. It turned out that as the release of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) increased over time, the amount of contrast in both Turner’s and Monet’s paintings decreased. However, works set in Paris by Monet between 1864 and 1872 showed relatively higher contrast compared with Turner’s London-based works created 20 years earlier. This, Albright and Huybers say, can be due to the much slower start of the Industrial Revolution in France. The researchers also analyzed the paintings’ visibility, or the distance at which an object can be clearly seen. Before 1830, the visibility in Turner’s paintings averaged about 25 kilometers while paintings after 1830 had the average visibility of about 10 kilometers. To strengthen their argument, the researchers also analyzed 18 paintings from four other London-and Paris-based Impressionists. Again, as outdoor air pollution increased, the contrast and visibility in the paintings decreased. The researchers calculate that air pollution can explain about 61 percent of contrast differences between the paintings. In that respect, “different painters will paint in a similar way when the environment is similar,” Albright says. “But I don’t want to overstep the line and say: Oh, we can explain all of Impressionism.” 8. Why is Albright’s visit to a museum mentioned? A. To connect art with research. B. To introduce previous foggy weather. C. To show impacts of Turner’s painting. D. To explain inspiration for her new study. 9. What might lead to lower contrast in Turner’s paintings according to the research? A. His personal habits. B. His drawing techniques. C. The higher level of industrialization. D. The influence of Impressionists. 10. What does the paintings’ visibility mainly indicate? A. Painting styles vary with time and regions. B. Air pollution needs to be controlled. C. Lower visibility is more popular in works. D. Changes in it may relate to air quality. 11. Which word can best describe Albright’s attitude towards the findings? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍Anna Lea Albright的研究表明，19世纪绘画风格的变化与工业革命时期的空气污染有关。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句“Artist William Turner’s unique way of painting objects in foggy weather let Albright recall her early research on air pollution.(艺术家William Turner在雾天里作画的独特方式让Albright回忆起她早期对空气污染的研究)”和第二段中的““I started wondering if there was a connection,” says Albright, who visited the museum on a day off from work.(‘我开始怀疑这两者之间是否有联系，’Albright说，她在休假的一天参观了博物馆)”可知，Albright在参观博物馆时，William Turner对雾中的事物的表现方式使她受到启发，因此她打算研究绘画风格的变化是否与空气污染有关。故选D项“为了解释她新研究的灵感”符合题意。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“They analyzed the contrast of 60 works created by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet between 1864 and 1901. It turned out that as the release of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) increased over time, the amount of contrast in both Turner’s and Monet’s paintings decreased. However, works set in Paris by Monet between 1864 and 1872 showed relatively higher contrast compared with Turner’s London-based works created 20 years earlier. This, Albright and Huybers say, can be due to the much slower start of the Industrial Revolution in France.(他们分析了Turner在1796年至1850年间创作的60幅作品和Monet在1864年至1901年间创作的38幅作品的对比。事实证明，二氧化硫的释放随着时间的推移而增加，Turner和Monet画作中的对比度都减少了。然而，Monet在1864年至1872年间以巴黎为背景的作品，与Turner在20年前创作的伦敦作品相比，表现出了相对更高的反差。Albright和Huybers说，这可能是由于法国工业革命起步较慢)”可知，与Turner20年前在伦敦创作的作品相比，Monet1864至1872年间以巴黎为背景的作品表现出相对更高的对比度。Albright和Huybers说，这可能是由于法国工业革命起步较慢。故较高的工业化水平可能导致了Turner作品中的对比度相对较低。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The researchers also analyzed the paintings’ visibility, or the distance at which an object can be clearly seen. Before 1830, the visibility in Turner’s paintings averaged about 25 kilometers while paintings after 1830 had the average visibility of about 10 kilometers. To strengthen their argument, the researchers also analyzed 18 paintings from four other London-and Paris-based Impressionists. Again, as outdoor air pollution increased, the contrast and visibility in the paintings decreased.(研究人员还分析了画作的可见性，即物体清晰可见的距离。在1830年以前，Turner画作的平均能见度约为25公里，而1830年以后的画作的平均能见度约为10公里。为了加强他们的论点，研究人员还分析了另外四位伦敦和巴黎印象派画家的18幅画作。同样，随着室外空气污染的增加，画作中的对比度和可见度也下降了)”可知，研究人员分析了画作的可见度，在1830年以前，Turner画中平均约25千米内的事物能被看清，而在1830年以后，他的画中平均约10千米内的事物能被看清，这说明了随着空气污染变严重，画作中的对比度和可见度下降了。故选D项“可见度的变化可能与空气质量有关”。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“The researchers calculate that air pollution can explain about 61 percent of contrast differences between the paintings.(研究人员计算出，空气污染可以解释大约61%的画作之间的对比差异)”及“But I don’t want to overstep the line and say: Oh, we can explain all of Impressionism.(但我不想越界说：哦，我们可以解释所有印象派)”可知，研究人员推测，空气污染可以解释大约61%的画作之间的对比度差异。但是，Albright认为这并不能解释所有的印象派。由此可推知，Albright对该研究结果持客观的态度。故选A。 D How has artificial intelligence (AI) changed and shaped our world over the last five years? How will AI continue to impact our lives in the coming years? Those are the questions addressed in my report. When it comes to the current state of AI, I must say some of the biggest changes in the last five years have been how well AI performs in large data systems on specific types of tasks. We’ve seen Alpha Zero become the best Go player entirely through self-play, and everyday use of AI such as grammar checks and auto complete, automatic personal photo organization, and speech recognition become commonplace for large numbers of people. In terms of potential, I’m most excited that AI can develop better and be used to assist people in various ways. It can help with decision-making such as identifying the likely treatment options for patients and provide basic assistance such as text-to-speech transformation for the visually damaged. In many situations, people and AI are complementary; that’s why I assume there is a possibility of teaming people with AI. In the past, people had a fairly rosy outlook on AI, but now the public have a much more mixed view. This comes from the fact we are much less willing to tolerate faults, especially discriminatory ones. There have also been questions of information and disinformation control as people get their news and entertainment by searches and rankings personalized to their needs. So, there’s a much greater recognition that we should not be waiting for AI tools to become mainstream before making sure they are morally correct. The need to understand the basics of AI and data science starts much earlier than college education, as children are being exposed to AI as soon as they click on online videos. But for computer science students in college, I think a key thing that future engineers need to realize is when to demand input and how to talk across subject boundaries to get at often difficult-to-quantify ideas of safety, equity, and so forth. 12. Why does the author talk about AI’s performance on some tasks in paragraph 2? A. To criticize AI’s lack of diversity. B. To show AI’s specialized advancements. C. To explain AI’s superiority to humans. D. To highlight AI’s considerable intelligence. 13. What does the underlined word “complementary” in paragraph 3 mean? A Significant. B. Independent. C. Interrelated. D. Contradictory. 14. What may make humans now think differently about AI? A. Its disadvantages. B. Its moral duty. C. The high expectations. D. The personalized news. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Strengths and Faults of AI B. The Present and Future of AI C. AI: How to Further Develop? D. Humans vs AI: Who’s Better? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。在过去的五年里，人工智能是如何改变和塑造我们的世界的？未来几年，人工智能又将如何继续影响我们的生活？本文主要介绍了人工智能给人类生活带来的影响及未来可能带来的变化。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When it comes to the current state of AI, I must say some of the biggest changes in the last five years have been how well AI performs in large data systems on specific types of tasks. We’ve seen Alpha Zero become the best Go player entirely through self-play, and everyday use of AI such as grammar checks and auto complete, automatic personal photo organization, and speech recognition become commonplace for large numbers of people. (当谈到人工智能的现状时，我必须说，过去五年里最大的变化是人工智能在大数据系统中对特定类型任务的表现。我们已经看到Alpha Zero完全通过自我对弈成为最好的围棋选手，人工智能的日常使用，如语法检查和自动补全，自动个人照片整理和语音识别，对很多人来说都是司空见惯的)”可知，人工智能对特定类型任务的表现有了巨大变化，在围棋这样的领域取得稳健的进步，在日常使用场景中有普遍运用。由此推知，作者提及这些是为了展示人工智能的专业化进步。故选B项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“In terms of potential, I’m most excited that AI can develop better and be used to assist people in various ways. (就潜力而言，我最兴奋的是人工智能可以发展得更好，并以各种方式帮助人们)”可知，人工智能可以为人提供帮助，再结合画线词的下文“that’s why I assume there is a possibility of teaming people with AI (这就是为什么我认为人类与人工智能合作是有可能的)”可知，作者认为人类与人工智能合作有合作的可能性。由此推知，人类与人工智能之间是相辅相成的，相互配合的，画线词意为“相辅相成的，相互配合的”，而interrelated可以用来形容两个或多个元素之间相互联系或相互依赖，因此可以理解为它们在某种程度上是相辅相成的。A. significant重要的；B. independent独立的；D. contradictory矛盾的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“This comes from the fact we are much less willing to tolerate faults, especially discriminatory ones. There have also been questions of information and disinformation control as people get their news and entertainment by searches and rankings personalized to their needs. (这是因为我们不太愿意容忍错误，尤其是歧视性的错误。随着人们根据自己的需求通过搜索和排名来获取新闻和娱乐，信息和虚假信息的控制也存在问题)”可知，人工智能会发生歧视性的错误，会有信息和虚假信息的控制问题。由此可知，这些不足导致使得人类现在对它的看法有所不同。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段引入关于人工智能的话题，第二段介绍了人工智能的现状，第三段从人工智能的潜力方面做了介绍，第四段介绍了人们对人工智能的态度，最后一段作者就人工智能的未来发展提出建议。由此可知，本文重点介绍了人工智能的现在和未来。B项“The Present and Future of AI”涵盖了文章讨论的所有主要方面，最适合作为标题。故选B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能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you are trying to assess a person’s character, make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading.

Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is. ___18___ To some degree the types of lies he may tell and his motives for doing so matter. ___19___ The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an indication of character. A person’s character is affected by his attitude. ___20___ Attitude can affect many aspects of a person’s life, including how hard he works and his ability to be supportive of others. When you are trying to assess someone’s character, remember that it consists of qualities and habits that form his identity. A. More importantly, it’s necessary to continue his inner struggle. B. The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has. C. There are many other things in life that may require commitment. D. This includes both people he knows and people he does not know. E. Also, pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life. F. Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies. G. Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations. 【答案】16. E 17. D 18. F 19. B 20. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了如何评估一个人的性格，给出了具体的方法和建议。 【16题详解】 根据前文“If you are trying to assess a person’s character, make sure you do not rely too heavily on factors that can be misleading. Instead, observe the individual’s ability to tell the truth and to commit.(如果你试图评估一个人的性格，确保你不要过于依赖可能会误导人的因素。相反，观察一个人说真话和承诺的能力)”可知，此处在讲述应该通过哪些方面去评估一个人的性格，所以E项“Also, pay attention to his attitude and try to distinguish how it impacts his life.(同时，注意他的态度，并试着区分它是如何影响他的生活的)”符合此处主题，承接上文，讲述通过他的态度去评估一个人的性格。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“You can tell a lot about a person’s character by observing how he treats other people.(你可以通过观察一个人如何对待别人来了解他的性格)”可知，D项“This includes both people he knows and people he does not know.(这包括他认识的人和他不认识的人)”是对前句提及的“别人”的详细补充，符合文意。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“Whether or not a person is honest says a lot about his character. The attitude a person has about honesty can also indicate what type of person he is.(一个人是否诚实在很大程度上反映了他的性格。一个人对诚实的态度也可以表明他是什么类型的人)”可知，本段主要讲述了通过观察一个人是否诚实来评估他的性格，所以F项“Observe the person’s conversations and try to determine how often he tells lies.(观察这个人的谈话，试着确定他说谎的频率)”符合本段主题。故选F项。 【19题详解】 分析设空处，位于段首，为本段中心句，根据后文“The word “commitment” often causes people to instantly think of close relationships. Whether a person can respect the vows (誓约) and agreements is usually an indication of character.(“承诺”这个词通常会让人们立刻联想到亲密的关系。一个人是否能尊重誓言和协议通常是一个人性格的标志)”可知，本段主要讲述通过观察一个人是否能遵守承诺来评估一个人的性格，所以B项“The level of commitment indicates the type of character he has.(承诺的程度表明了他的性格类型)”符合本段主题，其中commitment为同词复现。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“A person’s character is affected by his attitude.(一个人的态度影响他的性格)”可知，本段主要讲述一个人对事物的态度会影响他的性格，所以G项“Some people generally have a negative outlook while others may try to be positive even in difficult situations.(有些人通常持消极态度，而有些人即使在困难的情况下也会努力保持积极态度)”是对前文的详细解释，符合文意。故选G项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（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 和 D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I never planned on learning Chinese.

My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea resort, which is about three hour drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at Salem at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided to return home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she should pick us in the evening, but we were confident of our ability to retrace our way and we didn’t want to trouble her. We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that Boston commuter rail station(通勤火车站) was close to the last but one stage before the drop off point, so we got off the bus at the stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction. I just blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. But after a while, we found ourselves going round in a maze(迷宫), with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were empty. At first, we didn’t count on the stranger to save us from that situation. Finally, having no other option, we approached a young boy dressed in strange clothes. We didn’t think he was good enough to show us the way, but we just had a try. We approached him and explained the situation. To our surprise, he personally took us to the station on hearing our problem. On the way to the station, we talked a lot. We knew he was at the same age as our daughter. He just got off work from a bar, where he worked as a singer. We asked why he chose this job, and he said that this was his part-time job since he needed to earn extra money for his sister's study. Both my husband and I became silent. Para. 1 After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 After we arrived home we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. As the last train was going to leave, we were at a loss about what to do when the “fancy-face” boy took his card to buy two tickets for us without hesitation. We wanted to give him the money; however, he just refused our offer. We could do nothing but express how we were grateful for what he had done for us. Finally, he just waved goodbye to us before we asked his name. After we arrived home, we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. To be honest, we didn’t even believe that a young boy looking not very nice was one who gave us a hand. “Don’t judge a book by his cover.” This is a big lesson for us to learn. The boy has the courage to shoulder the responsibility at such a young age and he is just so kind-hearted. And this memory will store up in our hearts forever and remind us of being ready to help others, too. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述作者和丈夫在旅行结束准备回女儿家时找不到去车站的路，他们抱着试一试的心态问了一个衣着怪异的男孩子，没想到他爽快地答应了，这让作者夫妇很吃惊，并且在去车站的路上了解到男孩子虽然年龄不大，但是他在酒吧唱歌以供妹妹读书。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“到达那里后，我们发现票需要用信用卡购买，而我们没有。”可知，第一段可描写作者和丈夫买不到票，男孩又一次帮助了他们。 ②由第二段首句内容“回到家后，我们给女儿讲了那个善良男孩的故事。”可知，第二段可描写作者和女儿分享男孩的故事后女儿的回应以及大家的感悟。 2.续写线索：买不到票——帮助买票——感谢——回家——分享——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①购买：buy/purchase ②相信：believe/trust ③拒绝：refuse/decline 情绪类 ①感谢：be grateful for/show one’s appreciation ②不知所措：be at a loss/lose one’s head 【点睛】 [高分句型1].

Read about other people’s exciting travels around the world with these three books. Is That Bike Diesel, Mate? One man, one bike and the first Lap Around Australia on Used Cooking Oil by Paul Carter There are lots of ways to travel around Australia. You could do it by plane, train or car. But author Paul Carter decided to tour the country on a homemade motorcycle that runs on cooking oil. Why? The author worked in the oil industry for many years, and was keen to explore alternative fuels. So, he bought the unusual bike from a group of Australian university students (who had built it themselves) and set off. On route, he has lots of amusing experiences. He almost dies in a crash and he even attempts to break the land speed record for a motorbike running . You Are Awful (But I Like You) Travels Through Unloved Britain by Tim Moore Travel writers usually go to the best destinations. But not Tim Moore. In the book, Tim travels to the worst places in the UK. Follow him as he heads to “the bleakest towns, the worst hotels and the scariest pubs”. And to make matters worse, he does it in the middle of winter. “My primary challenge was to have a good time in places that everyone had said I wouldn’t,” said the author. And he does meet lots of quirky characters and discovers that even Britain’s ugliest parts have an inner beauty. Coasting: A Private Voyage by Jonathan Raban In 1982, author Jonathan Raban bought a boat and navigated Britain. And this is the book about his adventure. Along the way he gets caught in a few storms, explores seaside towns and even takes his aging parents along for part of the journey. Raban also uses his time at sea to think about how 1980s Britain is changing under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. 1. What mainly reflects Paul Carter’s travel around Australia? A. His concern for environmental protection. B. His love for adventure and thrill-seeking. C. His desire to break records and gain fame. D. His rebellion against traditional transportation methods. 2.

Criticizing the tourism industry’s focus on popular destinations. D. Exposing the hidden charm of overlooked places. 3. What commonalities do the three books share? A. They are all written by famous travel writers. B. They focus on luxurious travel experiences. C. They involve unique and unconventional travel experiences. D. They offer alternative fuel sources and their applications. B I have always been a design enthusiast and painting something never fails to fill me up with joy. Once I took my brother’s old shoes and started my creation on them on a casual afternoon. He had almost decided to throw them away, but that was when I picked them up, thinking to give it a shot with the pictures. When my brother saw the final piece, he decided to wear the shoes again. The concept, Upcycling Is A Fun Process, occurred to me that day. I understood that if I can give a makeover to certain things, they’ll be of use again and there is nothing better than returning the use to something while protecting nature. I shared my work online and started making notebooks, bookmarks, and name signs. Gradually I sharpened my skills. For almost a year, I have been trying my hand at upcycling things such as shoes, bags, T-shirts and so on, for many people. I make over things in different ways to suit the needs of their future owners; that is what I put before everything else in most of my works. I see upcycling as an opportunity to give a makeover to old stuff, restore its value, reduce waste and have lots of fun. I want to normalize upcycling, especially in a world where “ring out the old, ring in the new” is so common with fast fashion trends, fast food, and our boredom with most material things. With respect to art and upcycling, I soon start working on jeans to give them a new look. Most of us throw away our old jeans just because they’re behind the times. But they can be something that is all the rage. I’m aiming to take those pitiful pairs of pants and turn them into something worth keeping and in style. Such practices are always beneficial as they help with sustainable development. After all, we have limited resources and must use them wisely. 4. What gave the author the idea of upcycling old things? A. Her design talent. B. A cheer from her brother. C. A painting experience. D. Her concern over the environment. 5. What does the author think most important in the upcycling process? A. Improving her skill. B. Tailoring every object. C. Keeping original value. D. Avoiding material waste. 6. Why does the author mention “ring out the old, ring in the new”? A. To stress the value of old things. B. To criticize the craze for new trends. C. To show difficulties with her work. D. To explain the necessity of upcycling. 7. What does the underlined phrase “all the rage” mean in the last paragraph? A. On-trend. B. Wear-resistant. C. Eco-friendly. D. Good-looking. C Landscape paintings of the 19th century displayed in London’s Tate Britain museum looked rather familiar to Anna Lea Albright, a climate researcher. Artist William Turner’s unique way of painting objects in foggy weather let Albright recall her early research on air pollution. “I started wondering if there was a connection” says Albright, who visited the museum on a day off from work. Turner — an English Romantic painter — was painting as increasing industrial plants earned London the name “The Big Smoke”. Turner’s early works were done with sharp details while later works had a dreamier aesthetic (美感). To figure out to what extent Impressionists were reflecting the environmental conditions of that time, Albright partnered with climatologist Peter Huybers. They analyzed the contrast of 60 works created by Turner from 1796 to 1850 and 38 paintings by Monet between 1864 and 1901. It turned out that as the release of sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫) increased over time, the amount of contrast in both Turner’s and Monet’s paintings decreased. However, works set in Paris by Monet between 1864 and 1872 showed relatively higher contrast compared with Turner’s London-based works created 20 years earlier. This, Albright and Huybers say, can be due to the much slower start of the Industrial Revolution in France. The researchers also analyzed the paintings’ visibility, or the distance at which an object can be clearly seen. Before 1830, the visibility in Turner’s paintings averaged about 25 kilometers while paintings after 1830 had the average visibility of about 10 kilometers. To strengthen their argument, the researchers also analyzed 18 paintings from four other London-and Paris-based Impressionists. Again, as outdoor air pollution increased, the contrast and visibility in the paintings decreased. The researchers calculate that air pollution can explain about 61 percent of contrast differences between the paintings. In that respect, “different painters will paint in a similar way when the environment is similar,” Albright says. “But I don’t want to overstep the line and say: Oh, we can explain all of Impressionism.” 8. Why is Albright’s visit to a museum mentioned? A. To connect art with research. B. To introduce previous foggy weather. C. To show impacts of Turner’s painting. D. To explain inspiration for her new study. 9. What might lead to lower contrast in Turner’s paintings according to the research? A. His personal habits. B. His drawing techniques. C. The higher level of industrialization. D. The influence of Impressionists. 10. What does the paintings’ visibility mainly indicate? A. Painting styles vary with time and regions. B. Air pollution needs to be controlled. C. Lower visibility is more popular in works. D. Changes in it may relate to air quality. 11. Which word can best describe Albright’s attitude towards the findings? A. Objective. B. Optimistic. C. Enthusiastic. D. Doubtful. D How has artificial intelligence (AI) changed and shaped our world over the last five years? How will AI continue to impact our lives in the coming years? Those are the questions addressed in my report. When it comes to the current state of AI, I must say some of the biggest changes in the last five years have been how well AI performs in large data systems on specific types of tasks. We’ve seen Alpha Zero become the best Go player entirely through self-play, and everyday use of AI such as grammar checks and auto complete, automatic personal photo organization, and speech recognition become commonplace for large numbers of people. In terms of potential, I’m most excited that AI can develop better and be used to assist people in various ways. It can help with decision-making such as identifying the likely treatment options for patients and provide basic assistance such as text-to-speech transformation for the visually damaged. In many situations, people and AI are complementary; that’s why I assume there is a possibility of teaming people with AI. In the past, people had a fairly rosy outlook on AI, but now the public have a much more mixed view. This comes from the fact we are much less willing to tolerate faults, especially discriminatory ones. There have also been questions of information and disinformation control as people get their news and entertainment by searches and rankings personalized to their needs. So, there’s a much greater recognition that we should not be waiting for AI tools to become mainstream before making sure they are morally correct. The need to understand the basics of AI and data science starts much earlier than college education, as children are being exposed to AI as soon as they click on online videos. But for computer science students in college, I think a key thing that future engineers need to realize is when to demand input and how to talk across subject boundaries to get at often difficult-to-quantify ideas of safety, equity, and so forth. 12.

My husband and I decided on visiting Cape Cod, a beautiful sea resort, which is about three hour drive from the city of Boston. Our daughter who then lived in Salem close to Boston dropped us off at Salem at one of the pick-up points of the tour bus in Boston. We decided to return home on our own in the evening as we thought that we could catch a local train to Salem from Boston. Our daughter insisted that she should pick us in the evening, but we were confident of our ability to retrace our way and we didn’t want to trouble her. We had a great time in Cape Cod and returned to Boston at six in the evening. We thought that Boston commuter rail station(通勤火车站) was close to the last but one stage before the drop off point, so we got off the bus at the stage. My husband has a very good memory and a keen sense of direction. I just blindly followed him, without knowing where we were heading to. But after a while, we found ourselves going round in a maze(迷宫), with the station nowhere in sight! Being a Sunday, the roads were empty. At first, we didn’t count on the stranger to save us from that situation. Finally, having no other option, we approached a young boy dressed in strange clothes. We didn’t think he was good enough to show us the way, but we just had a try. We approached him and explained the situation. To our surprise, he personally took us to the station on hearing our problem. On the way to the station, we talked a lot. We knew he was at the same age as our daughter. He just got off work from a bar, where he worked as a singer. We asked why he chose this job, and he said that this was his part-time job since he needed to earn extra money for his sister's study. Both my husband and I became silent. Para. 1 After reaching there, we found the tickets needed to be bought by credit card which we didn’t have. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para. 2 After we arrived home we told our daughter about the story of that kind boy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1-20CCACC ABCAC CBABA BCBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
