When he was 19, he went to study mathematics at King’s College, Cambridge. Four years later, he designed a machine to solve mathematical problems. The next year, he got his PhD at Princeton University, the USA. During 1945-1954, he worked on designs for computers. One of his most famous ideas was the Turing Test. He thought computers could be made to do everything a person could do. So his test was to see when a computer could be considered to be like a human being. He thought if a person could communicate with the computer and you couldn’t tell if you talked with a person or a computer, that computer would become just like a human being. Alan Turing had made a great contribution to human beings, but unfortunately, he killed himself for depression. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15 小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C和D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Thailand is no longer just for holidays. The Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) was introduced on June 1 and enables remote workers to stay in the country for up to five years. But keep in mind that you need to leave and re-enter the country every 180 days, and pay an extra $270 each time. Until now, digital nomads (数字游民) could only stay in Thailand on tourist visas for up to 60 days, so this is a huge jump. It follows similar programs in Malaysia and Indonesia, which are among the popular vacation countries. The new visa allows visitors to stay longer and is expected to lead to a huge rise in the number of travelers. As a result, it can bring new energy to the Thai economy, making it stronger and more lively. Who can apply for Thailand’s digital nomad visa? Applicants must either work for themselves or work for a company outside of Thailand, and must be at least 20 years old. The DTV is unusual in being open not only to remote workers, but anyone who wants to discover Thai culture. What could that look like? Anything from taking cooking courses to learning traditional Thai boxing. What is the minimum income for a digital nomad visa in Thailand? The new visa does not yet set a minimum income. Up until now, remote workers who wanted to stay in Thailand long-term had to meet a minimum income of $80,000 each year. The new policy will open up the visa to those who can prove they have savings of $13,600. What are the other requirements? Applicants cannot work for a company based in Thailand and must pay an application fee of $270. How to apply to be a digital nomad in Thailand? Depending on your present passport and location, you may be able to apply through the official e-visa website. 21. How long can digital nomads with the DTV stay in Thailand at a time? A. 60 days. B. 180 days. C. 1 year. D. 5 years. 22. What is the expected benefit of the DTV? A. To drive local development. B. To aid technological progress. C. To reduce average living costs. D. To cooperate with nearby nations. 23. What is special about the new visa application? A. It requires a certain minimum income. B. It calls for a role at a Thai company. C. It is also open to cultural learners. D. It is free for long-term workers. 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇应用文，介绍了泰国于6月1日推出目的地签证（DTV）的益处及一些具体信息。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But keep in mind that you need toleave and re-enter the country every 180 days, and pay an extra $270 each time.(但请记住，你需要每180天离开并重新进入这个国家，每次都要额外支付270美元)”可知，持有DTV的数字游民一次可以在泰国停留180天。故选B。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The new visa allows visitors to stay longer and is expected to lead to a huge rise in the number of travelers. As a result, it can bring new energy to the Thai economy, making it stronger and more lively.(新签证允许游客停留更长时间，预计将导致游客数量大幅增加。因此，它可以为泰国经济带来新的活力，使其更强大，更有活力)”可知，DTV的好处是能推动地方发展。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Who can apply for Thailand’s digital nomad visa?中“The DTV is unusual in being open not only to remote workers, but anyone who wants to discover Thai culture. What could that look like? Anything from taking cooking courses to learning traditional Thai boxing.(DTV的不同寻常之处在于，它不仅对远程工作者开放，而且对任何想要探索泰国文化的人开放。那会是什么样子呢？从参加烹饪课程到学习传统泰拳)”可知，新的签证申请DTV也对文化学习者开放。故选C。 B Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 24. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 25. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A. It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 26. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 27. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民发展农业，实现脱贫。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project.(在这里，如果人们能用中文“你好”打招呼，他们当然也知道另一个中文词语“万宝”，这是中国一个水稻种植项目的名字。)”可知，凡是能用中文“你好”打招呼的人都会知道“万宝”这个中国水稻种植项目，由此可推测，这说明了该项目在莫桑比克非常受欢迎。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare(公顷) of land(我从水稻种植中受益匪浅，学会了在一公顷土地上使用中国技术生产水稻)”可知，万宝项目给当地人提供了农业技术。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词前一句“An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice.(一位老农民现在甚至在教其他农民如何种植水稻。)”和画线词后的“crops over 40 hectares”可知，这位老农民可以教其他农民如何种植水稻，由此可推测出，他在40公顷的土地上种植庄稼，cultivate意为“种植”，与grow意思一致。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa.(农民们在农场里载歌载舞庆祝水稻丰收。这是万宝莫桑比克稻田，中国在非洲最大的水稻种植项目。)”并结合下文可知，本文主要讲述了万宝水稻种植项目帮助莫桑比克人民种植水稻，与农业有关，所以本文最有可能出自网站上的农业版块。故选C。 C Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks to their owners, new research has shown. While being able to keep track of your cat and dog may be an attractive benefit to many pet owners as it can provide peace of mind, allowing a third party to track your movements may be much less attractive. Computer scientists at Newcastle University and Royal Holloway, University of London have exposed multiple security and privacy issues by evaluating 40 popular Android apps for pets. The results show that several of these apps are putting their users at risk by exposing their login or location details. Password vulnerability (漏洞) was one of the areas exposed by the team. They identified three applications that had the user’s login details visible in plain text within non-secure HTTP traffic. This means that anyone is able to observe the internet traffic of someone using one of these apps and will be able to find out their login information. In addition to login information, two of the apps also showed user details, such as their location that may enable someone to gain access to their devices and risk a cyber-attack. Another area of concern identified in the study was the use of trackers. All but four of the applications were found to feature some form of tracking software. A tracker gathers information on the person using the application, on how they use it, or on the smartphone being used. Scott Harper is a PhD student at Newcastle University’s School of Computing and the lead author of the study. He said: “Pet tech such as smart collars and GPS trackers for your cat or dog, is a rapidly growing industry and it brings with it new security, privacy, and safety risks to the pet owners. We would urge anyone using these apps to take the time to ensure they are using a unique password, check the settings and ensure that they consider how much data they are sharing or willing to share.” 28. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To display the benefits of pet tracking. B. To introduce pet and animal-related apps. C. To show the evidence of cybersecurity risks. D. To raise the topic by giving research findings. 29. What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The threat of a cyber-attack. B. The operation of HTTP traffic. C. The access to login information. D. The potential risks in password security. 30. What attitude should we hold while using pet tech according to Scott Harper? A. Flexible. B. Determined. C. Cautious. D. Casual. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Are Our Pets Leaking Information about Us? B. How Can We Observe the Internet Traffic? C. What Does Tracking Software Bring Us? D. Are We Safe to Use Android Apps? 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。一项新的研究表明，宠物和动物相关的应用程序正在给它们的主人带来网络安全风险。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks to their owners, new research has shown. While being able to keep track of your cat and dog may be an attractive benefit to many pet owners as it can provide peace of mind, allowing a third party to track your movements may be much less attractive.(一项新的研究表明，宠物和动物相关的应用程序正在给它们的主人带来网络安全风险。虽然能够跟踪你的猫和狗对许多宠物主人来说可能是一个有吸引力的好处，因为它可以让人安心，但允许第三方跟踪你的活动可能就不那么有吸引力了)”可知，文章第一段是为了通过给出研究结果来提出本文话题。故选D项。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Password vulnerability was one of the areas exposed by the team.(密码漏洞是该团队暴露的领域之一)”及整段内容可知，第三段具体讲解了密码安全的潜在风险。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段Scott Harper说的话“Pet tech such as smart collars and GPS trackers for your cat or dog, is a rapidly growing industry and it brings with it new security, privacy, and safety risks to the pet owners. We would urge anyone using these apps to take the time to ensure they are using a unique password, check the settings and ensure that they consider how much data they are sharing or willing to share.(宠物科技，如智能项圈和GPS追踪器，是一个快速发展的行业，它给宠物主人带来了新的安全、隐私和安全风险。我们敦促任何使用这些应用程序的人花时间确保他们使用的是唯一的密码，检查设置，并确保他们考虑他们正在分享或愿意分享多少数据)”可知，Scott认为使用宠物软件有一定的好处，当然也带来了隐私和安全风险，他敦促在使用时要谨慎对待数据暴露。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks to their owners, new research has shown.(一项新的研究表明，宠物和动物相关的应用程序正在给它们的主人带来网络安全风险)”及全文内容可知，本文围绕使用宠物软件会产生网络安全风险展开，A选项“Are Our Pets Leaking Information about Us?(我们的宠物会泄露我们的信息吗)”符合本文主旨，为最佳标题。故选A项。 D Each of us individually is the accumulated (积累) product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. But, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. “Our earliest ancestors have been successful at adapting to ecological conditions that require different kinds of problems to be solved,” said Perreault, an associate professor with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. “Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly.” As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). He then analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool-making techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record to explore the origin of cumulative culture. He broke down the complexity of the stone tool technologies by the number of steps that each tool-making sequence (序列) involved. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago stone tool-making sequences remained within the range of the baselines. From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to slightly top the complexity baseline. But, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences rapidly increased. “By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans, 3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools - like accessing meat and organs - leading to changes in brain size, lifetime and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 32. What does cumulative culture refer to according to the text? A. Emphasizing individual development. B. Paying attention to reforming social structure. C. Adapting to a changing living condition step by step. D. Building up technological improvements over generations. 33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Perreault conducted the research. B. How important stone tool technologies were. C. What the baseline of cumulative culture was. D. Why Perreault chose chimpanzees for the study. 34. What happened by 600,000 years ago? A. Tool-making sequences remained unchanged. B. The population of the earth increased sharply. C. The ancestors began to make stone tools. D. The technology reached a turning point. 35. Why are strategies that require tools mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the result of human brains’ changes. B. To illustrate the motive of cumulative culture. C. To indicate the significance of common culture. D. To stress the eating habits of human ancestors. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在人类进化过程中累积文化是何时开始发展起来的研究。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一、二段的有关信息，尤其是第二段中的“Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly. (累积文化之所以关键，是因为它允许人类群体在前代的解决方案基础上进行构建和重组，并能够非常快速地发展出解决新问题的复杂方案。)”及下文所提及的工具制作技术的演变发展可知，本文中cumulative culture具体指技术改进的世代积累。故选D项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). (作为没有累积文化背景下石头工具技术复杂性的基线，Perreault分析了黑猩猩所使用的技术。)”以及剩余部分可知，本段主要介绍了Perreault 开展研究的具体方法与策略。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well (大约在60万年前，古代人类群体开始依赖异常复杂的技术，而且我们也能在那个时期之后看到复杂性的快速增长。)”可知，在这个时间节点后，早期人类工具制作的复杂性开始显著提升，即这是一个转折点。故选D项。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture (工具辅助的觅食狩猎可能是累积文化演化最初开始的动机。)”及剩余部分可知，在最后一段提到工具策略是为了说明累积文化诞生的缘由。故选B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。 Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. ____36____ The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution. This can cause anxiety and stress. However, all you need to do is remain calm and use a new, different method. Here are some easy ways to solve problems. Acknowledge that there is a problem. Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way. ____37____ Keep a journal. Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. ____38____ Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking. ____39____ Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself. If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person, you will not be able to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem, you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new. Seek help. ____40____ If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals. A. Challenge yourself. B. Set achievable goals. C. Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before. D So write down all the problems you are facing right now. E. Sometimes, certain problems can’t be solved on your own. F. So try to come up with at least 10 different solutions to a problem. G. Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before. 【答案】36. G 37. C 38. D 39. A 40. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是一些解决问题的简单方法。 【36题详解】 空格前说“Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other.(每个人都会在某个时间点面临问题)”，空格后说“The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution.(然而，当过去的策略不起作用、没有明显的解决方案时，问题就会变得不同)”，因此空格处应说到人们可能会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，G选项“Many problems can be solved by using methods we might have used before.(许多问题可以用我们以前可能用过的方法来解决)”说明了人们会用过去的一些方法去解决问题，因此G选项承上启下，符合语境，故选G。 【37题详解】 空处位于段末应承接上文。空格前说“They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way.(他们继续认为一切都会自行消失，所以他们没有及时寻求帮助。这对形势没有任何帮助)”，空格处将继续评论这种做法，C选项“Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before.(相反，它会使问题变得比以前更大)”对这种做法继续进行评论，因此C选项承接上文，符合语境。故选C。 【38题详解】 空格前说“Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind.(每天写日记是解决可能影响你内心平静的深层次问题的最好方法)”，空格后说“Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking.(有时候，仅仅通过写下问题，你可能会发现问题并不像你想的那么大)”，因此空格处也应讲“写”方面的事情，D选项“So write down all the problems you are facing right now.(所以写下你现在面临的所有问题)”讲的是写下问题，和空格前后内容相呼应，因此D选项承上启下，符合语境，故选D。 【39题详解】 空格处是本段的主题句，由空格后的“Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself.(通常，为了解决一个问题，你需要测试你的极限。你可能需要接受一些挑战，包括学习一些新的东西来提高自己)”可知，本段主要讲的是要挑战自己，A选项“Challenge yourself.(挑战自己)”概括本段内容，可作为主题句，故选A。 【40题详解】 本段主题句是“Seek help.(寻求帮助)”，空格后说“If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals.(如果你花了很多心思和精力还是无法解决问题，那就向朋友、同事、家人甚至专业人士寻求帮助)”，因此空格处应说有的问题是靠自己解决不了的，E选项“Sometimes, certain problems can’t be solved on your own.(有时候，有些问题不能靠你自己解决)”说明了有的问题不能自己解决，和空格前后内容相互呼应，因此E选项开启下文，符合语境，故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分55分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I had been interested in diving (潜水) for long, but first I had to learn how to swim.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】eagerness 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：我很早就醒了，冲出门去，急切地想了解一下我的新学校。分析可知，空前“my”为形容词性物主代词，相当于形容词作定语，因此所填空应是名词。“eager”，形容词，意为“急切的；渴望的”，其名词形式为“eagerness”，意为“急切；渴望”，符合分析，在短语“in my ______ (eager)”中作介词“in”的宾语。“in one’s eagerness to do”，意为“急于做某事”。故填eagerness。 57. I was organizing my words in my head __________ the girl next to me gave me a nudge. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】when 【解析】 【详解】考查固定句型。句意：我正在脑子里组织我要说的话，这时我旁边的女孩推了我一下。固定句型sb. was/were doing...when...，表示“某人正在做……这时突然……”，用并列连词when。故填when。 58. Keep calm and ________ (prepare). That way, you’ll make the most of your time at senior high. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】be prepared 【解析】 【详解】考查祈使句和固定短语。句意：保持冷静，做好准备。这样，你就能充分利用你在高中的时间。keep calm为动词短语，意为“保持冷静”，and为表示并列的连词，此处连接两个并列的祈使句，故空处需填动词短语be prepared，意为“做好准备”。故填be prepared。 59.

When you open a dictionary, you often come across a lot of unfamiliar words. You might think this is a bit ________ (scare). (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】scary 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词。句意：当你打开字典时，你经常会遇到很多不熟悉的单词。你可能会觉得这有点吓人。根据空前is a bit可知，空处需填形容词作表语，描述这种情况是令人害怕的，scare是动词，其形容词形式scary，意为“令人害怕的”。故填scary。 61. A table and two chairs at front centre. Grandfather and Father, ________ (seat) at the table, are playing chess. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】seated 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：前面中间有一张桌子和两把椅子。爷爷和爸爸坐在桌旁下棋。are playing为谓语，空处作状语，表示伴随，Grandfather and Father与seat构成逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词。故填seated。 62.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】have been doing 【解析】 【详解】考查时态。句意：布朗利兄弟从孩童时期起就一直在参加铁人三项比赛。根据句中的“since they were children(自从他们是孩子时起)”可知句子表达的是从过去一直持续到现在的动作，句子要用现在完成进行时，其结构为“have/has been + 现在分词”，主语The Brownlee brothers是复数，所以助动词用have，do 的现在分词形式是doing，故填have been doing。 63. ________ (尽管) arguments over “stupid things” now and then, Alistair agrees that having a brother is an advantage.(根据汉语提示单词拼写) 【答案】Despite 【解析】 【详解】考查介词。句意：尽管时不时会有关于“愚蠢的事情”的争论，但阿利斯泰尔同意有个兄弟是一种优势。根据句意及汉语提示可知，此处使用介词Despite，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Despite。 64.

(所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】updates 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：在社交媒体网站上，人们倾向于只发布让他们看起来快乐和友好的积极更新。空处作post的宾语，update为名词，表示“更新”，根据定语从句谓语动词make可知应用update的复数形式。故填updates。 66. William Sydney Porter, ________ pen name was O. Henry, was a world-famous American short story writer. (用适当的词填空) 【答案】whose 【解析】 【详解】考查定语从句。句意：威廉·西德尼·波特，笔名欧·亨利，是美国著名短篇小说作家。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词为William Sydney Porter，作从句中pen name的定语，表示所属关系，用关系代词whose引导从句。故填whose。 67. One of the wonderful migrations in nature is ________ of the North American monarch butterfly. （用适当的词填空） 【答案】that 【解析】 【详解】考查代词。句意：自然界中最奇妙的迁徙之一就是北美帝王蝶的迁徙。分析句意再根据上文的the可知，此处应该用代词指代最奇妙的迁徙之一，且属于同类中的特指，所以用代词that来指代。故填that。 68. With water ______(fall) off its thick, brown hair, the bear stared back at me. (所给词的适当形式填空) 【答案】falling 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这头熊转过头盯着我看，水从它厚厚的、棕色的毛上落下来。分析句子结构，fall作with复合结构中宾语water的补足语，是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语water之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，应使用现在分词形式，故填falling。 69. The flat terraces catch the rainwater and prevent the soil from _________ (wash) away. (所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】being washed 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：平坦的梯田可以吸收雨水，防止土壤被冲走。from为介词，后跟动名词作宾语，且此处动词wash与soil构成被动关系，故应用being done形式。故填being washed。 70. But there are still some dishes that Dad dare not try even after many years of ________ (marry) to my mother. （所给词的适当形式填空） 【答案】marriage 【解析】 【详解】考查名词。句意：但还是有一些菜，即使在和我妈妈结婚多年后，爸爸也不敢尝试。分析句子可知，介词of后面应加名词，marriage to sb表“与某人结婚”，为固定搭配。故填marriage。 第四部分 写作 (满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 71. 假如你是李华，你和外国交换生Peter计划组织一场名为“Cross-Cultural Food Exhibition”的活动，请写一封邮件给Peter，内容包括： 1.你对活动形式的建议； 2.约定时间讨论安排和分工。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best regards, Li Hua 【答案】 Dear Peter, I can’t wait to plan Cross-Cultural Food Exhibition with you!

He’d been searching for a suitable job for a long time. He failed many times; though he was a bit upset, he didn’t give up sending out his resumes. One day he received a phone call, telling him about an opening for a graphic artist at a company in Manchester and asking him to attend the interview on Friday. Hearing this, Jack was really excited. He spent a large amount of time making preparations, including brushing up on his graphic skills and carrying out research on the company online, and finally booked a coach ticket to Manchester. On Thursday afternoon, Jack boarded the coach. The passenger next to him was a young man. They had a delightful conversation, and Jack discovered that his fellow passenger, named John, was also a graphic artist living in the city. Upon reaching their destination, they stayed in the same hotel and continued their lively discussion late into the night. Their topics were related to their major and interests. Generally, they had a lot in common, and naturally, they became friends. Most importantly, John gave him a lot of advice on his interview. Jack was impressed by John’s professional knowledge. The next day, they exchanged contact information before they parted. To Jack’s surprise, he came across John at the company. John greeted him with a smile and said, “I didn’t want the thought of competing against you to ruin our trip because they need only one graphic artist. Therefore, I didn’t mention that I would come for an interview at the company, or else, we couldn’t have had enjoyable chats.” He continued, “Anyway, I wish you good luck today.” What John said touched Jack deeply. “Thank you, John! All the best!” said Jack. Half an hour later, John left, while Jack was told to stay there a little longer. Paragraph 1: Due to his full preparations, Jack finished his interview smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing that Jack had got the job, John congratulated him sincerely over the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Due to his full preparations, Jack finished his interview smoothly. The interviewers were impressed by his detailed knowledge about the company and the job. As he walked out of the office, Jack felt a wave of relief and excitement. Later that afternoon, he received a call offering him the position. Overjoyed, he immediately called his family to share the good news. Then, with mixed feelings, he called his new friend John and thanked him for his advice and invaluable support. Deep inside, Jack wanted to do something to support John. Paragraph 2: Hearing that Jack had got the job, John congratulated him sincerely over the phone. He expressed great admiration for Jack’s ability, stressing how his talent had finally been recognized. Then John said he would attend an interview at another company. Jack was truly excited. Knowing firsthand the challenges that came with job-hunting, he instructed John to make careful preparations and practice some interview questions. With Jack’s help, John felt more confident about his upcoming interview. Their friendship turned into a supportive partnership, each willing to see the other succeed. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了平面造型艺术家Jack四处求职无果后，终于得到一家曼彻斯特公司的面试机会，在去面试途中结识同行John，二人结友，面试前John的坦诚令Jack动容。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句 “由于准备充分，杰克顺利地完成了面试。”可知，第一段可描写Jack收到录用通知，非常开心，他与John分享喜悦并感恩对方。 ②由第二段首句 “听说杰克得到了这份工作，约翰在电话里真诚地祝贺他。”可知，第二段可描写John祝贺Jack，Jack凭借自身经验帮助John，两人友谊在困难求职路上得到升华。 2. 续写线索：面试顺利，收到录用——感恩John——John祝贺——Jack助力John——友谊升华 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①录用：offer the position/hire/give the job ②祝贺：congratulate/show congratulations ③准备：make preparations/get ready/prepare oneself 情绪类： ①激动：overjoyed/excited/thrilled ②自信：confident/self-assured 【点睛】[高分句型1]As he walked out of the office, Jack felt a wave of relief and excitement.

But keep in mind that you need to leave and re-enter the country every 180 days, and pay an extra $270 each time. Until now, digital nomads (数字游民) could only stay in Thailand on tourist visas for up to 60 days, so this is a huge jump. It follows similar programs in Malaysia and Indonesia, which are among the popular vacation countries. The new visa allows visitors to stay longer and is expected to lead to a huge rise in the number of travelers. As a result, it can bring new energy to the Thai economy, making it stronger and more lively. Who can apply for Thailand’s digital nomad visa? Applicants must either work for themselves or work for a company outside of Thailand, and must be at least 20 years old. The DTV is unusual in being open not only to remote workers, but anyone who wants to discover Thai culture. What could that look like? Anything from taking cooking courses to learning traditional Thai boxing. What is the minimum income for a digital nomad visa in Thailand? The new visa does not yet set a minimum income. Up until now, remote workers who wanted to stay in Thailand long-term had to meet a minimum income of $80,000 each year. The new policy will open up the visa to those who can prove they have savings of $13,600. What are the other requirements? Applicants cannot work for a company based in Thailand and must pay an application fee of $270. How to apply to be a digital nomad in Thailand? Depending on your present passport and location, you may be able to apply through the official e-visa website. 21. How long can digital nomads with the DTV stay in Thailand at a time? A. 60 days. B. 180 days. C. 1 year. D. 5 years. 22. What is the expected benefit of the DTV? A. To drive local development. B. To aid technological progress. C. To reduce average living costs. D. To cooperate with nearby nations. 23. What is special about the new visa application? A. It requires a certain minimum income. B. It calls for a role at a Thai company. C. It is also open to cultural learners. D. It is free for long-term workers. B Farmers are celebrating their rice harvest by singing and dancing on the farm. This is Wanbao Mozambique rice farm, China’s largest rice planting project in Africa. Here, if people can speak hello in Chinese, “ni hao”, they most certainly also know another Chinese term Wanbao, the name of a Chinese rice farm project. Through the fertile (肥沃的) area in south Mozambique, the Limpopo River is flowing into the Indian Ocean in the Xai-Xai district. Benefiting from the vast farmland, a suitable climate, enough water and the support from China, the project is creating a bright future for the people here. Through cooperative planting methods, Wanbao is helping the local farmers develop successful rice plantations. It not only provides seeds, farm chemicals and fertilizers, but also does land leveling and water pumping (抽水). To have good harvests, farmers work hard and learn from the Chinese. Now the local farmers’ love for farming is growing and they are getting richer and richer. “I’ve benefited a lot from the rice farming and learned to produce rice using Chinese technologies on one hectare (公顷) of land,” says a mother of five children. “With the money, I have improved my life a lot. I have built my house and my children are going to school.” An old farmer is now even teaching other farmers how to grow rice. He is cultivating crops over 40 hectares. “Thanks to the project, both my children and grandchildren are living a stable life. Now I go to the fields to support the other farmers with teaching. I hope Wanbao will extend the growing areas to other corners of the county in the future to help fight poverty,” he says. 24. Why does the author mention “ni hao” in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of the project in Mozambique. B. To indicate farmers’ Chinese language skills. C. To prove the importance of Chinese in Mozambique. D. To suggest Chinese is a requirement for working on the farm. 25. What can we know about the Wanbao project? A It plants trees in urban areas. B. It teaches locals Chinese. C. It improves the local climate. D. It offers farming technologies for locals. 26. What does the underlined word “cultivating” in the last paragraph mean? A. Preparing. B. Growing. C. Selling. D. Pulling. 27. In which section of a website is the text likely to be found? A. Travel. B. Education. C. Agriculture. D. Art. C Pet and animal-related apps are creating cybersecurity risks to their owners, new research has shown. While being able to keep track of your cat and dog may be an attractive benefit to many pet owners as it can provide peace of mind, allowing a third party to track your movements may be much less attractive. Computer scientists at Newcastle University and Royal Holloway, University of London have exposed multiple security and privacy issues by evaluating 40 popular Android apps for pets. The results show that several of these apps are putting their users at risk by exposing their login or location details. Password vulnerability (漏洞) was one of the areas exposed by the team. They identified three applications that had the user’s login details visible in plain text within non-secure HTTP traffic. This means that anyone is able to observe the internet traffic of someone using one of these apps and will be able to find out their login information. In addition to login information, two of the apps also showed user details, such as their location that may enable someone to gain access to their devices and risk a cyber-attack. Another area of concern identified in the study was the use of trackers. All but four of the applications were found to feature some form of tracking software. A tracker gathers information on the person using the application, on how they use it, or on the smartphone being used. Scott Harper is a PhD student at Newcastle University’s School of Computing and the lead author of the study. He said: “Pet tech such as smart collars and GPS trackers for your cat or dog, is a rapidly growing industry and it brings with it new security, privacy, and safety risks to the pet owners. We would urge anyone using these apps to take the time to ensure they are using a unique password, check the settings and ensure that they consider how much data they are sharing or willing to share.” 28. What’s the function of the first paragraph? A. To display the benefits of pet tracking. B. To introduce pet and animal-related apps. C. To show the evidence of cybersecurity risks. D. To raise the topic by giving research findings. 29 What’s the main idea of paragraph 3? A. The threat of a cyber-attack. B The operation of HTTP traffic. C. The access to login information. D. The potential risks in password security. 30. What attitude should we hold while using pet tech according to Scott Harper? A. Flexible. B. Determined. C. Cautious. D. Casual. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Are Our Pets Leaking Information about Us? B. How Can We Observe the Internet Traffic? C. What Does Tracking Software Bring Us? D. Are We Safe to Use Android Apps? D Each of us individually is the accumulated (积累) product of thousands of generations that have come before us in an unbroken line. Our culture and technology today are also the result of thousands of years of accumulated and remixed cultural knowledge. Cumulative culture allowed humans to adapt to a diversity of environments and challenges. But, it is unclear when cumulative culture first developed during ancient human evolution. “Our earliest ancestors have been successful at adapting to ecological conditions that require different kinds of problems to be solved,” said Perreault, an associate professor with the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. “Cumulative culture is key because it allows human populations to build on and recombine the solutions of prior generations and to develop new complex solutions to problems very quickly.” As a baseline for the complexity of stone tool technologies achievable without cumulative culture, Perreault analyzed technologies used by chimpanzees (黑猩猩). He then analyzed changes in the complexity of stone tool-making techniques across the past 3.3 million years of the archaeological record to explore the origin of cumulative culture. He broke down the complexity of the stone tool technologies by the number of steps that each tool-making sequence (序列) involved. The results suggested that from around 3.3 to 1.8 million years ago, stone tool-making sequences remained within the range of the baselines. From around 1.8 million to 600,000 years ago, making sequences began to slightly top the complexity baseline. But, after around 600,000 years ago, the complexity of making sequences rapidly increased. “By 600,000 years ago or so, ancient human populations started relying on unusually complex technologies, and we only see rapid increases in complexity after that time as well,” said Perreault. Tool-assisted food-hunting may have been the motive for the earliest beginning of the evolution of cumulative culture. Early ancient humans, 3.4 to 2 million years ago, likely relied on strategies that require tools - like accessing meat and organs - leading to changes in brain size, lifetime and biology that set the stage for cumulative culture. 32. What does cumulative culture refer to according to the text? A. Emphasizing individual development. B. Paying attention to reforming social structure. C. Adapting to a changing living condition step by step. D. Building up technological improvements over generations. 33. What’s Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How Perreault conducted the research. B. How important stone tool technologies were. C. What the baseline of cumulative culture was. D. Why Perreault chose chimpanzees for the study. 34. What happened by 600,000 years ago? A. Tool-making sequences remained unchanged. B. The population of the earth increased sharply. C. The ancestors began to make stone tools. D. The technology reached a turning point. 35. Why are strategies that require tools mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To show the result of human brains’ changes. B. To illustrate the motive of cumulative culture. C. To indicate the significance of common culture. D. To stress the eating habits of human ancestors. 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。 Everyone is faced with problems at some point or the other. ____36____ The problems, however, become different when past strategies do not work and there is no obvious solution. This can cause anxiety and stress. However, all you need to do is remain calm and use a new, different method. Here are some easy ways to solve problems. Acknowledge that there is a problem. Many people refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem. They continue thinking everything will disappear on its own, so they fail to seek timely help. This does not help the situation in any way. ____37____ Keep a journal. Keeping a daily journal is the best way to solve deeper problems that may be affecting your peace of mind. ____38____ Sometimes, just by writing down issues, you might get to see that a problem isn’t as big as you are thinking. ____39____ Often, to solve a problem, you need to test your limits. You may have to take on certain challenges including learning something new to improve yourself. If you continue thinking of the problem as a threat and view yourself as a failure or a weak person, you will not be able to deal with the problem. Nevertheless, if you can see some benefits coming out of the problem, you will be in a better position to accept the challenge and learn something new. Seek help. ____40____ If you are still unable to solve the issue despite giving it much thought and attention, seek help from friends, colleagues, family or even professionals. A. Challenge yourself. B. Set achievable goals. C. Instead, it can make the problem bigger than before. D. So write down all the problems you are facing right now. E.

He’d been searching for a suitable job for a long time. He failed many times; though he was a bit upset, he didn’t give up sending out his resumes. One day he received a phone call, telling him about an opening for a graphic artist at a company in Manchester and asking him to attend the interview on Friday. Hearing this, Jack was really excited. He spent a large amount of time making preparations, including brushing up on his graphic skills and carrying out research on the company online, and finally booked a coach ticket to Manchester. On Thursday afternoon, Jack boarded the coach. The passenger next to him was a young man. They had a delightful conversation, and Jack discovered that his fellow passenger, named John, was also a graphic artist living in the city. Upon reaching their destination, they stayed in the same hotel and continued their lively discussion late into the night. Their topics were related to their major and interests. Generally, they had a lot in common, and naturally, they became friends. Most importantly, John gave him a lot of advice on his interview. Jack was impressed by John’s professional knowledge. The next day, they exchanged contact information before they parted. To Jack’s surprise, he came across John at the company. John greeted him with a smile and said, “I didn’t want the thought of competing against you to ruin our trip because they need only one graphic artist. Therefore, I didn’t mention that I would come for an interview at the company, or else, we couldn’t have had enjoyable chats.” He continued, “Anyway, I wish you good luck today.” What John said touched Jack deeply. “Thank you, John! All the best!” said Jack. Half an hour later, John left, while Jack was told to stay there a little longer. Paragraph 1: Due to his full preparations, Jack finished his interview smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing that Jack had got the job, John congratulated him sincerely over the phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
