Some people send videos of personal events like holidays or weddings. Using live streaming (网络直播) is particularly popular among the people aged from 18 to 35. Besides leaving danmu comments (弹幕), they can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. One example was the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did a one-hour live broadcast which attracted more than 11 million viewers. What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-yearold college student called Nic Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says. “It feels nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However, there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite language after warnings from government officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (网络监管机构) can hardly monitor the content all the time. “We support the use of live streaming. But people should be aware of the two sides of it,” one of the officials said. 39. According to the first paragraph, millions of people in China are now _______.

However, I also fell in love with this book because it was thought-provoking. Yes, there are aliens in it, but the theme of this story is life on Earth and how we humans are destroying the planet. Real-world science, history and philosophy (哲学) are combined into this fascinating (极有吸引力的) story. As a great sci-fi w____54____, it sparks (激发) interest in science, and it makes readers think. The Three-Body Problem has enjoyed great popularity worldwide. It’s no surprise, then, that it has been adapted into a TV series. At first, I didn’t like this idea.

It is packed with action and cool characters. Young people are often more interested in what they see on their s____56____ than in the stories and their messages. However, some of you may be too young to fully understand books like The Three-Body Problem. A good TV series can help you to become a better reader and can inspire you to read more w____57____. But once you do fall in love with reading, you will realize that it is a good book, not a TV series, that will be your friend for life. 【答案】51. (e)specially 52. (s)et 53. (a)gain 54. (w)ork 55.

Answer the questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分） The idea of “smart” cities was first put forward in the 1970s in the United States. Since then, it has spread to more and more countries. People hoped new technologies could help them live happier lives in cities. Governments aren’t the only ones interested in building “smarter” cities. Many private companies see the smart city program as a great opportunity to make money. Leading tech companies like Tencent and Microsoft have all offered their smart-city solutions. However, I have found that many project designers in those companies don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech salespeople than city builders. This can cause many problems. City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve the living conditions of the citizens? Private companies, however, have to take care of their own business interests first. Their answer to every problem is simply more technology. Their “solutions” often have nothing to do with people’s daily lives. Sometimes, the problem is not a shortage of “smart” technologies. What we need instead may just be smarter decision-making. For example, is the solution to traffic jams greater reliance on bikes or the development of self-driving cars? Smart cars are certainly “smarter” than bicycles. They promise to be able to avoid traffic jams. However, are they more enjoyable? Do they make the city a better place to live in? City managers should carefully think about the kind of life they want their cities to provide for their citizens. Planners and tech developers should work according to this blueprint. They should stop worrying about making our cities “smarter” and start to focus on making them better. 58. When was the idea of “smart” cities first put forward in the United States? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. Why are private companies interested in building smarter cities? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. What does the author mean by saying that some project designers act more like salespeople than city builders? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 61. The writer thinks the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to the traffic jams, doesn’t he? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 62. According to the author, what should be the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning? __________________________________________________________________________________________ 63. Which do you think is more important for creating a better city smarter technology or smarter decision-making? Explain your reason(s). __________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】58. In the 1970s. 59. Because they see it as a great opportunity to make money. 60. The author means that some project designers focus more on selling new technologies rather than solving real-world problems and improving the city, which is the role of city builders. 61. No, the writer does not think the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to traffic jams. 62. According to the author, the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning should be to improve the living conditions of the citizens. 63. I think smarter decision-making is more important for creating a better city. While smarter technology can bring many benefits, it is only effective if it is used wisely and appropriately. Without smarter decision-making, technology can be wasted or even cause more problems. 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讨论了“智慧城市”的概念及其发展中的问题，强调了城市规划应以改善市民生活条件为中心，而不是仅仅追求技术的先进性。 【58题详解】 根据第一段中的“The idea of ‘smart’ cities was first put forward in the 1970s in the United States.”可知，“智慧城市”的概念最早是在20世纪70年代的美国提出的。故填In the 1970s. 【59题详解】 根据第二段中的“Many private companies see the smart city program as a great opportunity to make money.”可知，许多私营公司认为智慧城市项目是一个赚钱的好机会。因此，他们对建设智慧城市感兴趣的原因是为了赚钱。故填Because they see it as a great opportunity to make money. 【60题详解】 根据第二段中的“However, I have found that many project designers in those companies don’t have a clear idea of what they are going to achieve. They proudly show off exciting new technologies like 5G, but they don’t know how to use them to solve real-world problems. In other words, they sound more like tech salespeople than city builders.”可知，作者认为一些项目设计师更像销售人员而不是城市建设者，是因为他们更多地关注推销新技术，而不是解决现实问题和改善城市。故填The author means that some project designers focus more on selling new technologies rather than solving real-world problems and improving the city, which is the role of city builders. 【61题详解】 根据倒数第二段中的“However, are they more enjoyable? Do they make the city a better place to live in?”可知，作者对于自动驾驶汽车是否是解决交通拥堵的好方案持怀疑态度。因此，作者并不认为自动驾驶汽车是解决交通拥堵的好方案，故填No, the writer does not think the development of self-driving cars is a good solution to traffic jams. 【62题详解】 根据第三段中的“City planning should always center around one question: What can be done to improve the living conditions of the citizens?”可知，作者认为城市规划应该始终围绕一个问题：如何改善市民的生活条件。因此，对于城市管理者来说，在城市规划中最重要的应该是改善市民的生活条件，故填According to the author, the most important thing for city managers to consider in city planning should be to improve the living conditions of the citizens. 【63题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一。参考答案为：I think smarter decision-making is more important for creating a better city. While smarter technology can bring many benefits, it is only effective if it is used wisely and appropriately. Without smarter decision-making, technology can be wasted or even cause more problems.

Part 3 Reading and Writing（第三部分 读写） Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共50分） A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）（12分） Millions of people in China are now sharing parts of their lives with the world by videos on their phones. Some people send videos of personal events like holidays or weddings. Using live streaming (网络直播) is particularly popular among the people aged from 18 to 35. Besides leaving danmu comments (弹幕), they can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. One example was the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did a one-hour live broadcast which attracted more than 11 million viewers. What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-yearold college student called Nic Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says. “It feels nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite language after warnings from government officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (网络监管机构) can hardly monitor the content all the time. “We support the use of live streaming. But people should be aware of the two sides of it,” one of the officials said. 39. According to the first paragraph, millions of people in China are now _______. A. sharing their hobbies with each other B. broadcasting videos on the phone C. living on their phones D. having holidays or weddings 40. Using live streaming is particularly popular among _______.

Maybe you told a friend something that turned out to be totally false. Whatever the reason for being wrong, admitting it can make you upset. No one enjoys putting up his hand to say: “I was wrong.” You become responsible for your mistake, and that can make you feel ____45____. Admitting a mistake challenges your pride and can damage your confidence. Saying you were wrong means having to ____46____ that you’re not always right or perfect. Of course, having a sense of pride in yourself isn’t a bad thing. When you are proud of your good abilities, appearance and achievements, it’s good and encourages healthy feelings. But it will become a ____47____ when you are too proud to admit. Some people will try to avoid admitting being wrong. They will deny, make ____48____, attack someone or something else because it’s easier than finding their own problems. Imagine switching off your pride for a moment and focus only on the facts of a situation that has caused you to make a mistake. When you consider the matter based on facts, it’s usually easy to see the ____49____ way to go. When you can say you were wrong and offer a sincere apology, it will help to clear up a situation.

I fell in love with the book from the very beginning and finished it in only a couple of days. One reason why it was such a page-turner was Liu Cixin’s brilliant story-telling style. I e____51____ liked his way of dealing with time. Most books are chronological (按时间顺序排列的), but The Three-Body Problem jumps back and forth. It is s____52____ back in history, nearly 60 years ago. Then, it jumps forward 40 years, when the characters have become elderly men and women, before jumping back a____53____. And the lives of Ye Wenjie and Wang Miao certainly kept me turning the pages. However, I also fell in love with this book because it was thought-provoking. Yes, there are aliens in it, but the theme of this story is life on Earth and how we humans are destroying the planet. Real-world science, history and philosophy (哲学) are combined into this fascinating (极有吸引力的) story. As a great sci-fi w____54____, it sparks (激发) interest in science, and it makes readers think.
