This collection of works, which range from the practical to the fantastical, are all by architects who have gathered significant social media followings. In the Digital Universe at ROCA London. 8 February—31 July, free. Flowery: Orchids This annual festival is back in bloom (开花), this time inspired by the beauty and biodiversity of Cameroon. Just like previous years, the orchids are spread throughout the various zones of the Princess of Wales conservatory and accompanied by sculptures that are just as colourful as the flowers on display. At Kew Gardens. 4 February —5 March, &16.50—entrance to the gardens included. Female Abstraction: Action, Gesture, Paint Art history has often shone a light on the men of Abstract Expressionism, such as Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Well, now’s the time to let the most important women of the movement take the limelight in an exhibition that includes works by American artists such as Lee Krasner and Helen Frankenthaler, but spreads the net wider to include the female abstract artists from Europe, Asia and the wider world, with whom most of us will be unfamiliar. At Whitechapel Gallery. 9 February—7 May, £ 16.50—concessions available. Powerful Portraits (肖像): Alice Neel The largest UK exhibition to date of American painter Alice Neel’s work will bring together her figurative pieces from across her 60-year career.

B The US government took extraordinary steps on Sunday after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), assuring depositors(存款人) at the institution that they would be able to quickly access all of their money. The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the California-based bank to fail could cause a banking contagion(漫延), and only a couple of hours before trading opened on Asian markets. The Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said on Sunday that all SVB clients will be protected-including accounts that exceed the FDIC-insured limit of $250,000. “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting on Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayers,” the agencies said in a joint statement. “This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles in protecting deposits and providing access to the money deposited in the bank for households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth.” Regulators had worked over the weekend to try to come up with a buyer for SVB, the second-largest bank failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have come up empty as of Sunday. The regulators also announced that the New York-based Signature Bank had failed and its property was taken on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets(资产), Signature Bank is now the third-largest bank failure in US history. The officials also said that depositors at the bank, which was closed on Sunday by the New York state financial regulator, would not bear the loss. Signature’s shareholders and unsecured debtors will not be protected, and management has been removed, the officials said. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had said earlier on Sunday that she was working with banking regulators to respond after SVB became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, during which Washington Mutual collapsed. SVB had $ 209 billion in assets and $175.4 billion in deposits at the time of failure, the FDIC said in a statement. The bank mostly served technological companies. “We want to make sure that the troubles that exist at one bank don’t create contagion to others,” Yellen told CBS’ Face the Nation. 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cause of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. B. The drawback of the US banking system. C. The reaction of the public to the step. D. The purpose of the measure. 5. How did the regulators deal with the failure of the New York-based Signature Bank? A. The unsecured debtors will bear the loss themselves. B. The management of the bank is still in power temporarily. C. The benefits of signature’s shareholders will be guaranteed. D. It was closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 6. What does the underlined word “collapse” in the last paragraph mean? A. Come to light. B. Come to a conclusion. C. Come to an end. D. Come to life. 7. Which can serve as the best title for the news report? A. US to rescue failed banks’ depositors B. Regulators try to come up with buyer for SVB C. US banking system to promote economic growth D Factors causing SVB to fail lead to banking contagion C Massimo Bottura, a three-Michelin-Starred chef, has extended his culinary(烹饪的) empire globally. However, he says that the peak of all of his achievements is Milan’s Refettorio Ambrosiano and the following 12 global branches. At Refettorio Ambrosiano, dinner guests are greeted by name. They dine on fine china at tables created by the country’s most sought-after furniture designers. The waiters are polite, and the chefs have been trained under the finest restaurateurs in the world. The set menu changes every day, depending on what comes in with the morning’s delivery. This morning’s delivery contains dry arugula(芝麻菜) chicken close to its sell-by date and too-ugly-to-be-sold oranges. By dinner, however, the supermarket castoffs have been transformed into a three-course meal. The 100 or so diners — refugees, the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure, laughing with the volunteer waiters, praising the volunteer chefs, and forgetting, at least for an hour, the challenges of a life lived on the streets. The brightest gems in Bottura’s culinary empire are not restaurants at all. He thinks of them as spaces that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem by turning foods that were otherwise going to be headed toward rubbish bins into Michelin Guide-worthy meals. Botura first thought of Refettorio Ambrosiano as a pop-up concept for the 2015 World Expo in Milan. The organizers had invited him to cook for the grand opening. Bottura proposed something different. He wanted to invite the world’s best chefs to cook with him for the city’s homeless,using leftovers. That idea soon got supported and turned into something more permanent. Today, the Refettorio is “a movement,” Bottura says. “It is a model for fighting food waste and isolation on the front lines. And it starts by looking at an old carrot or a piece of hard bread and catching sight of gold.” 8. How do the Refettorio Ambrosianos differ from Bottura’s other restaurants? A. The waiters are well-trained. B. The tables are custom-made. C. They are three-Michelin-starred. D. Daily delivery decides the set menu. 9. Which of the following best describes the event at Refettorio Ambrosiano? A. An evening gathering for local chefs. B. A charity sale of supermarket castoffs C. A wealthy meal for the less-fortunate. D. A volunteer training for the homeless 10. What does Bottura think of the Refettorio? A. It’s his best profitable restaurant. B. It’s a good project for food safety. C. It’s a pop-up concept to extend his business. D. It’s win-win for the environment and society. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Less Waste, More Taste. B. A Dinner of Dignity C. Best Restaurant, Best Service. D. The Power of Food D What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable. Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization. Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade. This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly. Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land. My point is that the metaphors (比喻) of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home. 12. Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade? A. These coins also served as agricultural tools. B. This stylish design made the coins valuable. C. A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture. D. The handles made the coins easily exchanged. 13. Why does the author relate computers to spade coins? A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented. B. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation. C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did. D. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins. 14. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Flexible. B. Wasteful. C. Essential. D. Alternative. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry B. What Coins and Computers Bring Us C. What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In Common D. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you, then it doesn’t change you.

At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here. When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times. Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said. “What do you mean?” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too. “What are you guys doing?” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 天水一中高三第五次诊断考试试卷 英语 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号框涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号框。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The announcement came amid fears that the factors that caused the California-based bank to fail could cause a banking contagion(漫延), and only a couple of hours before trading opened on Asian markets. The Treasury Department, the Federal Reserve and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) said on Sunday that all SVB clients will be protected-including accounts that exceed the FDIC-insured limit of $250,000. “Depositors will have access to all of their money starting on Monday, March 13. No losses associated with the resolution of Silicon Valley Bank will be borne by the taxpayers,” the agencies said in a joint statement. “This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles in protecting deposits and providing access to the money deposited in the bank for households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth.” Regulators had worked over the weekend to try to come up with a buyer for SVB, the second-largest bank failure in history. Those efforts appeared to have come up empty as of Sunday. The regulators also announced that the New York-based Signature Bank had failed and its property was taken on Sunday. At more than $110 billion in assets(资产), Signature Bank is now the third-largest bank failure in US history. The officials also said that depositors at the bank, which was closed on Sunday by the New York state financial regulator, would not bear the loss. Signature’s shareholders and unsecured debtors will not be protected, and management has been removed, the officials said. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had said earlier on Sunday that she was working with banking regulators to respond after SVB became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, during which Washington Mutual collapsed. SVB had $ 209 billion in assets and $175.4 billion in deposits at the time of failure, the FDIC said in a statement. The bank mostly served technological companies. “We want to make sure that the troubles that exist at one bank don’t create contagion to others,” Yellen told CBS’ Face the Nation. 4. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cause of the failure of Silicon Valley Bank. B. The drawback of the US banking system. C. The reaction of the public to the step. D. The purpose of the measure. 5. How did the regulators deal with the failure of the New York-based Signature Bank? A. The unsecured debtors will bear the loss themselves. B. The management of the bank is still in power temporarily. C. The benefits of signature’s shareholders will be guaranteed. D. It was closed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation 6. What does the underlined word “collapse” in the last paragraph mean? A. Come to light. B. Come to a conclusion. C. Come to an end. D. Come to life. 7. Which can serve as the best title for the news report? A. US to rescue failed banks’ depositors B. Regulators try to come up with buyer for SVB C. US banking system to promote economic growth D. Factors causing SVB to fail lead to banking contagion 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章主要介绍美国将救助破产银行的储户的事情。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“This step will ensure that the US banking system continues to perform its vital roles in protecting deposits and providing access to the money deposited in the bank for households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth. (这一步骤将确保美国银行系统继续发挥其重要作用，保护存款，并以促进强劲和可持续经济增长的方式为家庭和企业提供银行存款渠道。)”可知，第二段主要介绍这项措施的目的。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The officials also said that depositors at the bank, which was closed on Sunday by the New York state financial regulator, would not bear the loss. Signature’s shareholders and unsecured debtors will not be protected, and management has been removed. (官员们还表示，该银行周日被纽约州金融监管机构关闭，储户不会承担损失。Signature的股东和无担保债务人将不受保护，管理层已被免职。)”可知，无担保债务人将自行承担损失。故选A。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had said earlier on Sunday that she was working with banking regulators to respond after SVB became the largest bank to fail since the 2008 financial crisis, during which Washington Mutual collapsed. (财政部长珍妮特·耶伦（Janet Yellen）周日早些时候曾表示，在SVB成为自2008年金融危机以来倒闭的最大银行后，她正在与银行监管机构合作做出回应。)”可知，该词前的during which，which指the 2008 financial crisis和前面提到“美国硅谷银行的倒闭”，可知该词是“倒闭；结束”的意思，和选项C意思一致。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The US government took extraordinary steps on Sunday after the historic failure of Silicon Valley Bank(SVB), assuring depositors(存款人) at the institution that they would be able to quickly access all of their money. (在硅谷银行（SVB）历史性倒闭后，美国政府于周日采取了非同寻常的措施，向该机构的储户保证，他们将能够迅速获得所有资金。)”可知，本文主要介绍美国将救助破产银行的储户的事情。故选A。 C Massimo Bottura, a three-Michelin-Starred chef, has extended his culinary(烹饪的) empire globally. However, he says that the peak of all of his achievements is Milan’s Refettorio Ambrosiano and the following 12 global branches. At Refettorio Ambrosiano, dinner guests are greeted by name. They dine on fine china at tables created by the country’s most sought-after furniture designers. The waiters are polite, and the chefs have been trained under the finest restaurateurs in the world. The set menu changes every day, depending on what comes in with the morning’s delivery. This morning’s delivery contains dry arugula(芝麻菜), chicken close to its sell-by date and too-ugly-to-be-sold oranges. By dinner, however, the supermarket castoffs have been transformed into a three-course meal. The 100 or so diners — refugees, the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure, laughing with the volunteer waiters, praising the volunteer chefs, and forgetting, at least for an hour, the challenges of a life lived on the streets. The brightest gems in Bottura’s culinary empire are not restaurants at all. He thinks of them as spaces that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem by turning foods that were otherwise going to be headed toward rubbish bins into Michelin Guide-worthy meals. Botura first thought of Refettorio Ambrosiano as a pop-up concept for the 2015 World Expo in Milan. The organizers had invited him to cook for the grand opening. Bottura proposed something different. He wanted to invite the world’s best chefs to cook with him for the city’s homeless,using leftovers. That idea soon got supported and turned into something more permanent. Today, the Refettorio is “a movement,” Bottura says. “It is a model for fighting food waste and isolation on the front lines. And it starts by looking at an old carrot or a piece of hard bread and catching sight of gold.” 8. How do the Refettorio Ambrosianos differ from Bottura’s other restaurants? A. The waiters are well-trained. B. The tables are custom-made. C. They are three-Michelin-starred. D. Daily delivery decides the set menu. 9. Which of the following best describes the event at Refettorio Ambrosiano? A. An evening gathering for local chefs. B. A charity sale of supermarket castoffs C. A wealthy meal for the less-fortunate. D. A volunteer training for the homeless 10. What does Bottura think of the Refettorio? A. It’s his best profitable restaurant. B. It’s a good project for food safety. C. It’s a pop-up concept to extend his business. D. It’s win-win for the environment and society. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Less Waste, More Taste. B. A Dinner of Dignity C. Best Restaurant, Best Service. D. The Power of Food 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了米其林三星级厨师Massimo Bottura创办了Refettorio Ambrosiano餐厅，用超市里丢弃的食物为一些难民，无家可归者和失业者提供美味的大餐，这减少了食物浪费。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The set menu changes every day, depending on what comes in with the morning’s delivery.(套餐每天都在变化，这取决于早上送来的是什么。)”可知，Refettorio Ambrosianos餐厅与Bottura的其他餐厅的不同之处在于套餐是由每天的送货来决定的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The 100 or so diners — refugees, the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure, laughing with the volunteer waiters, praising the volunteer chefs, and forgetting, at least for an hour, the challenges of a life lived on the streets.(大约100名用餐者，包括难民、无家可归者和失业者，享受着这顿美餐，他们与志愿服务员一起大笑，称赞志愿者厨师，至少在一个小时内，他们忘记了街头生活的挑战。)”可知，为不幸的人准备的丰盛大餐，能最好的描述在Refettorio Ambrosiano餐厅发生的事，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, the Refettorio is “a movement,” Bottura says. “It is a model for fighting food waste and isolation on the front lines. And it starts by looking at an old carrot or a piece of hard bread and catching sight of gold.”(今天，Refettorio是一场“运动”，Bottura 说。“这是在第一线与食品浪费和隔离作斗争的一个模式。它开始于看着一根老胡萝卜或一块硬面包，然后看到金子。”)”和上文提到的Refettorio为难民、无家可归者和失业者提供大餐可推知，Refettorio对环境和社会都是双赢的。故选D。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“However, he says that the peak of all of his achievements is Milan’s Refettorio Ambrosiano and the following 12 global branches.(然而，他说他最大的成就是米兰的Refettorio Ambrosiano和接下来的12个全球分支机构。)”，第三段“This morning’s delivery contains dry arugula(芝麻菜), chicken close to its sell-by date and too-ugly-to-be-sold oranges. By dinner, however, the supermarket castoffs have been transformed into a three-course meal. The 100 or so diners — refugees, the homeless, and the unemployed — enjoy the meal with obvious pleasure, laughing with the volunteer waiters, praising the volunteer chefs, and forgetting, at least for an hour, the challenges of a life lived on the streets.(今天早上送来的货包括接近保质期的干芝麻菜鸡和难看到不能卖的橙子。然而，到了晚餐时，超市里丢弃的食物已经变成了三道菜的大餐。大约100名用餐者，包括难民、无家可归者和失业者，享受着这顿美餐，他们与志愿服务员一起大笑，称赞志愿厨师，至少在一个小时内，他们忘记了街头生活的挑战。)”和第四段中“He thinks of them as spaces that shine a light on the dignity of their guests while focusing attention on the food-waste problem by turning foods that were otherwise going to be headed toward rubbish bins into Michelin Guide-worthy meals.(他认为这是一个照亮客人尊严的空间，同时关注食物浪费问题，把本来要被扔进垃圾桶的食物变成米其林指南中值得一吃的食物。)”可知，文章主要讲述了米其林三星级厨师Massimo Bottura创办了Refettorio Ambrosiano餐厅，用超市里丢弃的食物为一些难民，无家可归者和失业者提供美味的大餐，这减少了食物浪费，A项“少浪费，更多美味。”适合做文章标题，故选A。 D What may well be the oldest metal coins in the world have been identified at an ancient abandoned city known as Guanzhuang in China. Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable. Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house. We also talk about one computer using a “port” to send information to another computer, as if the data were a floating boat with destination. It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization. Now consider what happened to spade coins. Over centuries. metalworkers made these coins into more abstract shapes. Some became almost human figures. Others’ handles were reduced to small half-circles. As spade coins grew more abstract. people carved them with number values and the locations where they were made. They became more like modern coins, flat and covered in writing. Looking at one of these later pieces, you would have no idea that they were once intended to look like a spade. This makes me wonder if we will develop an entirely new set of symbols that allow us to interact with our digital information more smoothly. Taking spade coins as our guide, we can guess that far-future computer networks will no longer contain any recognizable references to houses. But they still might bring some of the ideas we associate with home to our mind. In fact, computer networks — if they still exist at all — are likely to be almost the indispensable part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses. If climate change leads to floods, our mobile devices might look more like boats than phones, assisting us to land. My point is that the metaphors (比喻) of the information age aren’t random. Mobile devices do offer us comfort after a long day at work. In some sense, our desire to settle on the shores of data lakes could change the way we understand home, as well as how we build computers. So as we cast our minds forward, we have to think about what new abstractions will go along with our information technology. Perhaps the one thing we count on is that humans will still appreciate the comforts of home. 12. Why were many Bronze Age coins made into the shape of a spade? A. These coins also served as agricultural tools. B. This stylish design made the coins valuable. C. A lot of emphasis was put on agriculture. D. The handles made the coins easily exchanged. 13. Why does the author relate computers to spade coins? A. To show they both used to be new concepts when first invented. B. To highlight their same importance in our civilizational transformation. C. To suggest computers will experience dramatic changes as coins did. D. To explain abstract digital worlds are different from concrete coins. 14. What does the underlined word “indispensable” in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Flexible. B. Wasteful. C. Essential. D. Alternative. 15. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. How Agriculture Loses to Digital Industry B. What Coins and Computers Bring Us C. What Bronze Age and Information Age Have In Common D. What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述的是作者以青铜时代的古钱币为视角，探讨未来电脑科技的发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Like many Bronze Age (青铜时代) coins from the region, they were cast in the shape of spades (铲) with finely carved handles. These ancient coins existed during an in-between period between barter (以物易物) and money, when coins were a novel concept, but everybody knew that agricultural tools were valuable.(像很多青铜时代的硬币，它们都被做成铁铲的形状。这些古币存在于物物交换和货币交换之间的一个时期，当时硬币还是一个新奇的概念，但每个人都知道农业工具是有价值的)”可知，许多铜器时代的硬币被制成铁锹的形状，因为当时非常重视农业。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“It’s as if we are in the Bronze Age of information technology, grasping desperately for real-world reference to transform our civilization.(我们仿佛处于信息技术的青铜时代，拼命地寻找现实世界的参考来改变我们的文明)”可知，作者通过提及青铜时代的货币提到了如今的电脑科技世界，是因为二者具有共同的特点即铁锹货币在青铜时代改变的文明中起着重要作用，电脑科技在我们当今时代改变文明中也发挥着重要作用。即强调它们在我们的文明变革中同样重要。由此推知，作者把电脑和铲形币联系起来，以强调它们在我们的文明转型中同样重要。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中划线词indispensable后文“part of our houses and cities, their sensors inset (嵌入) with walls and roads. Our network addresses might actually be the same as our street addresses.(是我们房屋和城市的一部分，它们的传感器嵌入了墙壁和道路。我们的网络地址实际上可能与我们的街道地址相同)”可知，电脑网络与我们的街道地址相同，嵌入了我们的墙壁和道路，成为了我们房屋和城市的一部分，这是必不可少的。由此可知，划线词与C选项“essential必不可少的”意思相近。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Reading about this incredible discovery, I kept thinking about the way modern people represent computer networks by describing machines as having “addresses”, like a house.(读到这一令人难以置信的发现，我一直在思考现代人如何而通过将机器描述为“地址”来表示计算机网络)”可知，文章由第一段讲述的青铜时代的铁锹货币，让作者联想到当今的电脑世界，以及后文对受到货币演化过程的启发，讲述了我们是否会开发出一套全新的符号，让我们能够更顺畅地与数字信息进行交互，展开了对未来数字世界的畅想。本文通过硬币的发展介绍了从青铜时代到信息时代的发展变化。由此可知，D项What Ancient Money Tells Us About the Future Digital World(古代货币告知我们未来的数字世界)适合作本文最佳标题。故选D。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 If something that you’re doing doesn’t challenge you then it doesn’t change you.

I’m not scared!” 2. ___18___ Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this.

We all need some normal stress in our lives, after all. (如果你正在做的事情没有挑战你，那么它也不会改变你。毕竟，我们在生活中都需要一些正常的压力。)”，下文“So challenge the following limits: (所以挑战以下限制：)”可知，人们应该给自己一点挑战和压力，空出与下文为因果关系，G项“You can never see any improvement if you stick to your comfort zone. (如果你坚持自己的舒适区，你永远不会看到任何进步。)”，G项起到承上启下的作用，上下文衔接连贯，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If you’re a salesman, and you’re scared of talking to people personally or over the phone now, instead of being scared and thinking you’ll fail, spend at least five minutes a day to pick up the phone and make a call. (如果你是一名销售人员，现在你害怕亲自与人交谈或打电话，不要害怕，不要认为你会失败，每天至少花五分钟拿起电话打个电话。)”可知，作为销售人员，不要害怕打电话，下文“But don’t stop on the first try! (但是不要在第一次尝试时就停止！)”，根据句中But可知，下文与设空处为转折关系，A项“Someone may hang up on you. (有人可能会挂断你的电话。)”，句中的hang up on you，话题与上文一致，都在谈论打电话这件事，上下文衔接连贯，故选A项。 【18题详解】 此处考查段落小标题，下文“Make sure this hobby is not linked to your career; you have to relax and relieve your stress while performing this. Some examples might be cooking, sewing, painting and so on. Apart from helping you challenge yourself, taking a class for your hobby may also give you extra income. (确保这个爱好与你的职业无关；在做这个的时候，你必须放松，释放你的压力。比如烹饪、缝纫、绘画等等。除了帮助你挑战自我之外，为你的爱好参加课程也可以给你带来额外的收入)”可知，本段主要讲述了培养职业之外的爱好及其好处，taking a class for your hobby为复现短语，F项“Take a class for a hobby you’ve been wanting to develop. (参加一个你一直想培养爱好的培训班。)”，符合本段主旨，适合作为主题句，故选F项。 【19题详解】 本段的小标题为“Set aside at least nine minutes a day for physical exercise. (每天至少留出9分钟时间进行体育锻炼)”，本段主要讲述锻炼，下文“A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself. (绕着你的邻居跑步9分钟可以给你带来奇效。)”可知，锻炼不必太在意场地，C项“You don’t need to go to the gym. (你不需要去健身房。)”，下文承接C项，衔接连贯，故选C项。 【20题详解】 本段小标题为“Travel and allow yourself to be interested in new people. (去旅行，让自己对新的人感兴趣。)”，根据上文“Get out of your house or go online to book your ticket right now.

At her old school, she used to play with her friends. Now she sat alone in the corner of the field and watched the other kids play. The only thing Lisa liked about her new school was art. She hadn’t had art classes at her old school, but here they lasted a whole hour. During the art classes, Lisa forgot that she didn’t have friends here. When clearing her table, Lisa noticed a box of chalk by the window. She put it in her pocket. Then she took her usual place at the end of the line. As she and her classmates walked down the hall and out into the playground, Lisa remembered how she and her mother used to draw chalk designs on the long drive way leading to their old apartment. The patterns are called rangoli, a traditional Indian decoration, and they look like stars and roses. Lisa’s mother said the drawings were to welcome guests to their home. Lisa missed the times. Lisa walked to the basketball court and sat on the sidelines. She took the chalk out and began to draw her favorite rangoli pattern with huge petals and stars with eight points. “That’s pretty,” a voice said. She turned around and saw that Eric, a boy in her class, was watching her. “It’s called rangoli,” she said. “The floor of my grandmother’s house has pattens like that,” Erie said. “What do you mean?” Lisa asked. “Hand me a piece of chalk,” Eric said. Eric sat down and began to draw. He drew flowers that were more detailed than Lisa’s, but still had huge petals. Then he drew circles inside circles, and surrounded them with small diamonds. Lisa kept drawing too. “What are you guys doing?” a voice asked. Lisa and Eric had been so absorbed in drawing that the hadn’t noticed their classmate Emma had been watching them. “Hey,’ Emma said, sitting down beside them, “that looks like the rugs in my house. Except on the rugs, the shapes are bigger and flatter.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为 150 左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： “Show us,” said Eric, handing Emma a piece of chalk. Emma took the chalk and began drawing. She drew shapes that were full of straight lines and bright colors. They were bigger than the shapes Lisa and Eric had drawn, covering each other to form new shapes. She colored the drawings purple, blue, and white. “Wow!” the art teacher showed up and said. “It’s beautiful.” The three students stood up and looked at what they had done, their heart swelling with pride. Hearing the teacher’s praise, many students gathered around. They made various comments, varying from the universe with planets and stars to a coral reef full of fish. Finally the teacher asked for Lisa’s opinion. Glancing at Eric and Emma, whose knees, elbows, and fingers were covered in colorful chalk dust, she beamed sweetly and said, “It looks like home.” “I think so. Why don’t you enlarge the home together?” At their teacher’s words, the students joined in the painting cheerfully, joy permeating the air of the court. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了丽莎在新学校感到孤独，对新学校唯一喜欢的就是艺术。在美术课上，丽莎忘记了她在这里没有朋友。某天，她走到篮球场，坐在场边。她拿出粉笔，开始画她最喜欢的rangoli图案，男孩埃里克被吸引，两人也成为了朋友。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘给我们看看。’埃里克说着，递给艾玛一支粉笔”可知，第一段可描写艾玛作画的经过，三人一起画画吸引了老师。 ②由第二段首句内容“听到老师的表扬，许多学生围了过来”可知，第二段可描写围过来围观的学生的反应以及评价。 2.续写线索：艾玛作画——三人自豪——老师表扬——同学围观——气氛欢乐 3.词汇激活 行为类 充满：be full of /be filled with 出现：show up/appear 看：glance at/stare at 情绪类 美丽：beautiful /pretty 快乐：joy /happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] They were bigger than the shapes Lisa and Eric had drawn, covering each other to form new shapes.
