They can help people a lot in their daily life. For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people. Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope that computers can help them to improve their studies at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos. For most students, computers can not help them to study better but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents. In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves! 46. Why do we say the computer is a useful machine? A.

In the past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical (典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture (农业) in American life, families became smaller because industry requires (需要) workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization (工业化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may have no child but only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their main work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. 50. What kinds of families are described in the passage? A. Families of the past. B. Families of the present and the future. C. Families of the past and the future. D. Families of the past, the present and the future. 51. According to the writer, what is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America? A. Children tend (倾向) to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up. B. People stop caring for having children. C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing. D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves. 52. Who will take the main work to raise children in the future? A. Most families. B. All families. C. Social workers. D. A small number of families. 53. What can you infer from the passage? A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split (破裂). B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents. C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society. D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs. 【答案】50. D 51. C 52. D 53. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了由于工业的发展，家庭也受到了影响，原来的家庭孩子多，而现在的家庭孩子少，由于工业的发展家庭会总是搬动，有的家庭只有一个孩子或者没有孩子。 【50题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“In the past”“at present”以及第二段中的“in the future”可知，文章描述了过去、现在和未来这三种家庭。故选D。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“...because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary”可知，工业的发展对工人能够随时搬家的需求在增长，这是导致美国家庭越来越小的原因之一。故选C。 【52题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A small number of families may take raising children as their main work.”可知，未来少数家庭会把抚养孩子作为主要工作。故选D。 【53题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，随着科学和工业的发展，流动的劳动人口增多，因此，家庭规模越来越小，由此可以推断，大规模的家庭在现代社会中难以生存。故选C。 C Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce (凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once. The tiger roared (咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant (巨大的) beast, so it was afraid and started running wildly. People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!” Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost frightened to death?” He said to himself. 54. The young man went to the village ________. A. to travel B. to visit friends C. on business D. for holiday 55. The young man’s family warned him of ________. A. fierce beasts B. terrible traffic C. cold weather D. foolish people 56.

The young man was very brave. C. We shouldn’t admire (羡慕) others blindly (盲目). D. The young man shouldn’t listen to his family. 【答案】54. C 55. A 56. B 57. C 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个年轻人去村庄出差，家人告诫他遇野兽要爬树，途中他遇老虎爬上树又因害怕掉在虎背上，老虎受惊狂奔，路人看到以为他在“骑老虎”而称赞，他却因没人理解自己的恐惧而愤怒。 54题详解】 细节理解题。根据“a young man wanted to go to a village on business”可知，年轻人去村庄是为了出差。故选C。 【55题详解】 细节理解题根据“his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽)”可知，家人告诫年轻人要警惕野兽。故选A。 【56题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The young man was too afraid to hold the tree”可知，年轻人看到老虎时非常害怕。故选B。 【57题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后两段可知，路上的人看到年轻人骑在老虎背上，觉得他很酷，像超人，却不知道他其实非常害怕，正遭受着痛苦。这告诉我们不能只看到表面现象就盲目地羡慕别人，也许别人正处于困境中。故选C。 D George: What are you doing? User: Saying hello to you! George: Are you a monkey? User: Do you think monkeys can type? George: Sure. User: Are you a monkey? George: Do you think monkeys can type? User: You told me they could. This is a chat between a human “user” and a computer. The computer was designed to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it to become even more human. The technology that makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. This technology recently won the Loebner Prize. The Loebner Prize is a competition to find the most realistic artificial intelligence (人工智能). The judges had to talk to the computer. They typed questions to it. The computer answered. Jabberwacky’s design team say it will be a long time before the programme is very realistic. It was first created in 1982. It has been getting better every year since then. Each time it chats to a human, the list of things to say gets bigger. This means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it. It is hoped that a computer like this will replace humans in call centres. When the programme is more realistic, this will be possible. 58. From the passage we can know that George is a ________. A. monkey B. computer C. judge D. scientist 59. Jabberwacky is a kind of technology that can make the computer ________. A. sing songs B. look like humans C. talk to people D. draw pictures 60. The Loebner Prize is a competition for science and technology in ________. A. chemistry B. computer science C. physics D. geography 【答案】58. B 59. C 60. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了名为George的计算机程序使用的Jabberwacky技术，同时探讨了其发展历程和应用前景。 【58题详解】 细节理解题。根据“This is a chat between a human ‘user’ and a computer.”可知，George是计算机。故选B。 【59题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The technology that makes George talk is called Jabberwacky.”可知，Jabberwacky是一项能让计算机与人类对话的技术。故选‌C。 【60题详解】 推理判断题。根据“The Loebner Prize is a competition to find the most realistic artificial intelligence (人工智能).”可推断，人工智能属于计算机科学领域，因此，Loebner奖是针对计算机科学技术设立的竞赛。故选‌B。 第Ⅱ卷（非选择题 45分） 注意：所有答案都写到答题卡上，填在试卷上无效。 Ⅴ．词汇运用。（共10题，每题1分，满分10分。） A）．根据汉语提示、首字母提示或英文提示，写出句中所缺单词。 61.

He can’t see anything because of the ________ (dark). 【答案】darkness 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：因为黑暗，他什么也看不见。because of因为，介词短语；the定冠词，一般和名词一起使用；由“because of the”可知，空格处使用名词，dark黑暗的，形容词，其名词是darkness；故填darkness。 67. Nothing is ________ (possible) if you put your heart into it. 【答案】impossible 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：只要你用心，没有什么是不可能的。根据条件状语从句“if you put your heart into it.”可知，应是没有什么是不可能的，故空处应是possible的反义词impossible，不可能的。故填impossible。 68. It has been famous for its theatres since the early ________ (twenty) century. 【答案】twentieth 【解析】 【详解】句意：自20世纪初以来，它就以剧院而闻名。根据“It has been famous for its theatres since the early ... century.”以及括号内提示词“twenty”可知，此处表示“20世纪”，即“twentieth”，序数词，用于表示顺序。故填twentieth。 69. Her grandmother ________ (die) for ten years. 【答案】has been dead 【解析】 【详解】句意：她的祖母已经去世十年了。根据“for ten years”可知，此句时态为现在完成时，应该用延续性动词，die是短暂性动词，与其对应的延续性动词为be dead，主语是第三人称单数，助动词用has。故填has been dead。 70. After two ________ (year) hard work, they finished building the famous bridge. 【答案】years’ 【解析】 【分析】 【详解】句意：经过两年的努力工作，他们完成了这座著名的桥的建造。根据句意，空处表示“……的”，应用名词所有格；year之前有数词two修饰，故名词应用复数形式years，years是以s结尾的复数名词，变名词所有格只加’。故填years’。 Ⅵ．任务型阅读。（满分20分。） A）阅读短文：回答下面5个问题。（每题2分，满分10分。） Chaka Salt Lake lies (位于) in Qinghai Province, China.

For example, they can help people to save much time to do much work, and they can help people to work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people. Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope that computers can help them to improve their studies at school. But many of their children use computers to play games and watch videos. For most students, computers can not help them to study better but make them fall behind. So computers are locked in boxes by parents. In some other countries, even some scientists also hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lose their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble. Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves! 46. Why do we say the computer is a useful machine? A. Because our country asks us to learn to use it. B. Because it can help us a lot. C. Because we can use it to play games. D. Because it can help us to find jobs. 47. What do many parents complain about? A. They complain that their children use computers to play games. B. They complain that computers let them lose their jobs. C. They complain that computers bring them a lot of trouble. D. They complain that computers can’t bring them happiness. 48 In this passage we know computers __________. A. also bring us trouble B. bring us happiness only C. are hated by people D. are bad for people’s health 49. How do you understand the last sentence of this passage? A. It means computers are used by people. B. It means people can live well without computers. C. It means one must decide how to use computers. D. It means computers are strange machines. B Great changes have taken place in family life because of science and industry (工业). In the past, when most Americans lived on farms, the typical (典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture (农业) in American life, families became smaller because industry requires (需要) workers who are ready and able to move off the land and move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot move from place to place as smaller families can. So, at present people tend to have smaller families. In the future, because of industrialization (工业化), a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may have no child but only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their main work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move from job to job. 50. What kinds of families are described in the passage? A. Families of the past. B. Families of the present and the future. C. Families of the past and the future. D. Families of the past, the present and the future. 51. According to the writer, what is one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in America? A. Children tend (倾向) to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up. B. People stop caring for having children. C. The need for workers who are able to move at any time has been increasing. D. Both old and young people prefer to live by themselves. 52. Who will take the main work to raise children in the future? A. Most families. B. All families. C. Social workers. D. A small number of families. 53. What can you infer from the passage? A. Science and industry have caused thousands of families to split (破裂). B. Children do not live with their parents or grandparents. C. Large families can hardly survive in modern society. D. Americans are very choosy about their jobs. C Once upon a time, a young man wanted to go to a village on business. Halfway there was a mountain. Before he left home, his family warned (告诫) him to stay calm and climb onto trees if he was in face of beasts (野兽). In this way, the beasts couldn’t do anything to him. The young man remembered these words and began his trip. He walked for a long time carefully and found no beasts were out there. He thought his family’s worries were unnecessary. And he became relaxed as he walked. Just at that moment, he saw a fierce (凶猛的) tiger running to him and he climbed onto a tree nearby at once. The tiger roared (咆哮) around the tree and even jumped to reach the man. The young man was too afraid to hold the tree and fell right on the back of the tiger. Full of fear, he had to hold the tiger tightly. The tiger thought that must be a giant (巨大的) beast, so it was afraid and started running wildly. People on the road didn’t know what happened and said, “Look at the young man. He is riding a tiger!” “Cool!” “Superman!” Hearing these words, the young man was very angry. “Why can’t they see I’m suffering a lot? Don’t they understand I am in fear and almost frightened to death?” He said to himself. 54. The young man went to the village ________. A. to travel B. to visit friends C. on business D. for holiday 55. The young man’s family warned him of ________. A. fierce beasts B. terrible traffic C. cold weather D. foolish people 56. How did the young man feel when he saw the tiger? A. Excited. B. Afraid. C. Surprised. D. Bored. 57. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs (段落)? A. People on the road were wise B. The young man was very brave. C. We shouldn’t admire (羡慕) others blindly (盲目). D. The young man shouldn’t listen to his family. D George: What are you doing? User: Saying hello to you! George: Are you a monkey? User: Do you think monkeys can type? George: Sure. User: Are you a monkey? George: Do you think monkeys can type? User: You told me they could. This is a chat between a human “user” and a computer. The computer was designed to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it to become even more human. The technology that makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. This technology recently won the Loebner Prize. The Loebner Prize is a competition to find the most realistic artificial intelligence (人工智能). The judges had to talk to the computer. They typed questions to it. The computer answered. Jabberwacky’s design team say it will be a long time before the programme is very realistic. It was first created in 1982. It has been getting better every year since then. Each time it chats to a human, the list of things to say gets bigger. This means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it. It is hoped that a computer like this will replace humans in call centres. When the programme is more realistic, this will be possible. 58. From the passage we can know that George is a ________. A. monkey B. computer C. judge D. scientist 59. Jabberwacky is a kind of technology that can make the computer ________. A. sing songs B. look like humans C. talk to people D. draw pictures 60. The Loebner Prize is a competition for science and technology in ________.
