Text 1
W:The zoo’s closed all weekend.Maybe we could go horse-riding?
M:I am not sure I can afford that.
W:Hmm,that movie about the woman who rescues animals is on.We could see that.
M:Fine.
Text 2
W:Tell me all about how the wedding went!
M:I wish I could,but I missed.
W:Were you too busy to go to it?
M:No,I got really sick on Friday night.I thought I had the flu,but it turned out to be food poisoning.So I couldn’t go to the wedding.
Text 3
M:How are you and your roommate getting along?
W:Pretty well.She usually comes home late,but she’s always careful not to make any noise in case I’m sleeping.She’s very thoughtful.
M:That’s nice.
W:Yeah.She’s a real change from my old roommate,who only cared about herself.
Text 4
M:This town is a healthy place to live in.There are many trees,and the air quality is good.I guess that’s because there isn’t a lot of industry.
W:Yeah.But no industry means no jobs.It is difficult to find work around here.The city should bring more businesses here.
Text 5
M:What an awful month we are having!
W:It’s pretty bad,isn’t it? So hot and wet.It’s hard to sleep at night in our dormitory.
M:It’s not usually this hot in the fall.Well,I think I’m going to get some more ice cream in the store.
Text 6
W:How are you going to get home from the restaurant later,Harry?
M:Oh,I can just take a bus or a taxi.There are usually plenty of taxis around this area at night.
W:Yes,but not on a Sunday night.You might wait for a long time.Why don’t you ask Kevin to drive you home? He’s having dinner with us and he lives near you.
M:That’s right.I’ll ask him when he’s back from the bathroom.
Text 7
M:So,Maria,is it true you’re going to retire soon?
W:Yes.I’m going to be thirty-five soon,so it’s getting harder and harder for me physically,and I’m still recovering from that last back injury I had.But the main reason’s that I need to spend time with my little boy.He’s only two and he’s growing up so fast.I don’t want to miss it.
M:So you don’t enjoy being on tour any more?
W:It’s not that I don’t enjoy.It’s just not practical any more.It’ll actually break my heart to give up dancing in public.
Text 8
M:Have you seen a brown briefcase? I had it with me when I came in this morning but I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
W:I think Andy was asking around about a briefcase.Why don’t you ask him?
M:Thanks.By the way,congratulations on your new position.
W:Thank you.
M:They couldn’t have appointed anyone better.You’ll make a great director of operations,Margaret.
W:That’s very kind of you,Sean.Ah...and there’s Andy.
M:With my briefcase under his arm.What a relief! See you at the theater tonight?
W:Not sure.I had a really long week so I’ll probably take a hot bath and go to bed.
M:Yeah.Tomorrow is the day off and you can have a good rest.
W:Absolutely.So what will you do at the weekend?
Text 9
W:Can I ask what kind of ticket you bought? I assume it wasn’t a season ticket.
M:That’s right.No,I just got a normal return ticket.I don’ t have a railcard so I didn’t get any discount.
W:Yes,you’d have saved 40% on your ticket today.The single ticket is $20.So you paid the full price for your return ticket?
M:I paid $30.
W:Do you usually buy your tickets at the station?
M:Well,I do usually but the ticket office closes early and I hate using ticket machines.I think ticket offices should be open for longer hours.There’s always a queue for the machines and they’re often out of order.So I got an e-ticket online.
W:And,is there anything you weren’t satisfied with?
M:Well,normally,the trains run on time and are pretty reliable but today there was a delay; the train was about 15 minutes behind schedule.
W:What would you say you were satisfied with today?
M:Well,I like the Wi-fi on the train.It’s improved a lot.It makes it easier for me to work if I want to.And the food and drinks are cheaper than before.
Text 10
M:Hello,everyone.Now I’ll tell you about our trips.On Monday,you will have a forest walk.It’s a guided walk of about seven kilometers.There’ll be a stop halfway,and you’ll be provided with a drink and sandwiches.There are some fairly steep climbs up the hills,so you need to be reasonably fit for this one and bring a waterproof jacket in case it rains.Then on Tuesday we’ll organize a cycle trip,which will give you all the fun of biking without effort.We will take you and your bike up to the top of Mount Lama,and leave you to bike back to the camp.It’s a pity that you may not have fantastic views because it isn’t a clear day according to the forecast.
On Wednesday you’ll be taken to a factory where jewelry is made.If you want,you can buy some of the souvenirs but that’s entirely up to you.The trip starts after lunch,and you’ll return by 6 pm.
On Thursday we can offer trips to the observatory for those who are interested in astronomy.And you’ll be shown the huge telescopes and have a talk from an expert,who’ll explain all about how they work.
Finally,the last day,there’s horse riding.It’s a great experience if you’re a keen horseback rider,or even if you’ve never been on a horse before.They take you down to the beach,and you can ride a horse along the sand and through the waves.

Harvey Sutton spent nearly seven months hiking with his parents,walking the thousands of miles that make up the complete Appalachian Trail(阿巴拉契亚山道),which is simply called the AT.Harvey was just 4 years old when he started,and celebrated his 5th birthday on the trail.
To build up their child’s physical health and develop his personal qualities,Josh and Mary Sutton have been hiking with Harvey since he was two years old.They prepared him for hiking the AT by starting out with lots of shorter walks and hikes.
The AT is a 3,530-kilometer hiking trail that runs through the forests of the Appalachian Mountains,from Georgia to Maine,passing through 14 states in all.The amount of up and down on the trail is about the same as climbing up and down Mount Qomolangma (the world’s tallest mountain) 16 times.So only one out of every 4 hikers completes all the sections of the trail.But that didn’t stop Harvey and his family.
It took Harvey and his family 209 days—about seven months—to complete the entire AT.Every day the family would wake up around 5:30 in the morning.They would have breakfast and pack up their tent and sleeping bags before setting off through the woods.In general,the family hiked about 16 kilometers a day before stopping to set up camp again.
During his days on the AT,Harvey liked to use his imagination,which helped him walk more quickly and have fun.Harvey and his family made friends with other hikers on the trail.Harvey didn’t seem to get tired and enjoyed the hard work of hiking.“My favorite part was the rock climbing,” he says,“because it was so fun and hard.”
Completing the AT taught Harvey and his parents how to work as a team and how to take on challenges together.“We’re closer than ever before because of the experience,” Harvey’s mom said.“If possible,I want to hike the AT again at some point in the future,” Harvey added.
语篇解读 本文是一篇新闻报道,主要讲的是哈维·萨顿和他的父母花了近7个月的时间徒步走过了完整的阿巴拉契亚山道。

Artificial intelligence(AI) models are everywhere.The vast majority of these models work using artificial neural networks,or ANNs,which are a popular form of machine learning.
Most ANNs can learn to perform one task just fine.But when it comes to learning a new task,they have a problem that human brains don’t.They either fail to learn the new task,or they learn the new thing but erase most of what they knew about their original task.But this problem doesn’t tend to affect the human brains.
“How do our new memories get into the pool of old memories without erasing them?” Pavel Sanda wondered.Sanda is a computer scientist who is also part of a research team that used a computer model to explore how sleep helps a brain learn.As our brains sort through new experiences during sleep,he knew,they replay those events many times,so he decided to experiment with this aspect of human sleep in an AI model.
First,he and his teammates trained this AI on a simple task.It controlled a blue dot wandering through a grid(网格) which was seeded with three types of paired green blocks.For the first task,the AI learned to seek out side-by-side pairs.Next,the team tried teaching it to find out pairs that sat diagonal(对角线) from each other.However,they didn’t try to teach it the new rules all at once.Instead,they let the AI system explore the grid for a brief time,then take a sleep-like break.
During the break,there was no grid and no shapes to encounter.So there was nothing to see and no actions to take.It randomly replayed the way it had travelled.Thanks to these sleep-like breaks,the network managed to learn both tasks well.
Sleep may not be the best way for all AI models to learn multiple tasks.However,this new research is a very important first step towards understanding the importance of sleep.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家正在通过在人工智能中模拟人类睡眠来尝试解决大多数人工神经网络不能同时学习多项任务的不足。
28.Which aspect do most ANNs need improving?
A.They can’t learn multiple tasks.
B.They are easy to break down.
C.They don’t have the ability to learn.
D.They can’t perform single tasks well.
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Most ANNs can learn to perform one task just fine...But this problem doesn’t tend to affect the human brains.”可知,人工神经网络的缺陷是不能同时学习多项任务。故选A。
29.What did the AI do in the experiment?

A new study suggests some of America’s favorite Independence Day fireworks can give out lead and copper(铜),which are used to give fireworks their vivid colors,and also damage human cells and animal lungs.
Led by researchers at NYU,the study showed poisonous levels of lead in the fireworks.Experiments showed that lung exposure to particle emissions(颗粒排放物) from five types of fireworks significantly increased oxidation(氧化),a chemical process in the body that can damage or even kill cells.
The researchers say the new study is believed to be the first to examine the effects of firework exposure in human cells and living animals,and to test for particles of common firework metals thrown into the atmosphere.
“While many are careful to protect themselves from injury from explosions,our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause longer-term physical damage,a risk that has been largely ignored,” says study senior author Terry Gordon,a professor in the Department of Environmental Medicine.
Gordon and his team also analyzed 14 air quality samples taken at dozens of sites across the US throughout each year.They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year.Along with lead,copper and other poisonous metals are commonly found in fireworks.“Our research shows that although we are only exposed to these poisonous substances for a short time each year,they are much more poisonous than the pollutants we breathe every day,” says Gordon.
Gordon cautions(警告) that the current investigation is the first step,only addressing the potential effects of one-time exposure to the firework metals.He says repeated exposure is likely a larger concern.Nevertheless,he is planning to share his findings with local health officials,firework producers,the Environmental Protection Agent,and other regulatory agents to alert them to the potential for harm.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。一项科学研究表明烟花燃烧释放出的金属元素会造成空气污染,也会损害人类和动物的健康,同时还存在其他潜在危害。
32.Why do some fireworks harm our health?
A.They are oxidized in the air.
B.They can give out harmful metals.
C.They are exposed to particle emissions.
D.They can melt chemical substances in the body.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知,烟花对健康有害是因为它们会释放有害金属。故选B。
33.What does the underlined word “inhaling” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Letting out. B.Working out.
C.Taking in. D.Blowing off.
答案 C
解析 词义猜测题。根据第四段中“our results suggest that inhaling firework smoke may cause longer-term physical damage”可知,烟雾被吸入人体内才会造成伤害,由此推知,画线词inhaling表示“吸入”。故选C。
34.What can we infer from Gordon’s research findings?
A.Fireworks are the main cause of air pollution.
B.Air quality on New Year’s Eve is above normal.
C.People breathe in poisonous air for a short time daily.
D.Air pollution on Independence Day is worse than usual.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段第二句“They found that levels of poisonous metals were higher in samples taken on Independence Day and New Year’s Eve celebrations than at any other time of the year.”可推知,在独立日空气污染比平常更严重。故选D。
35.What does Gordon intend to do with firework-related persons?
A.Remind them not to set off fireworks.
B.Caution them against producing metals.
C.Alert them to the harm of the experiment.
D.Warn them of the possible dangers of fireworks.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“Nevertheless,he is planning to share his findings with local health officials,firework producers...to alert them to the potential for harm.”可知,Gordon准备将发现告知与烟花相关的人员,告诉他们烟花可能带来的危险。故选D。

第二节 (满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
At around 6 pm,Jane and her husband Charlie were driving on the road.They were incredibly excited because they would attend the dream wedding of her daughter Iris the next day.As they drove beyond a town near their destination,the sky grew darker and darker and suddenly the rain poured down.When they were approaching a bridge,a wave of fast-moving water washed over the top of it.
Within seconds,the rapids had lifted the little white car into the river.It happened so quickly that they were too shocked to scream.Finally,the car caught an object in the middle of the river.
Muddy flood water was pouring into the car and rising quickly.Jane knew they had to get out quickly before the water rose too high in the car.Forcing the door open,Charlie jumped into the flood from the back row.Meanwhile,Jane grabbed the front door handle and tried to open it but in vain.“Try it again!” her husband shouted anxiously.
Hearing that,Jane took hold of the handle,using all her strength,and was able to pull the door open.She came out of the vehicle and finally reached Charlie,coughing and shaking.They leaned tightly against the back of the car and screamed for help.
At the same time a truck driver called Joe was complaining about the bad weather in his truck parked in his yard near the river.He had planned a road trip.Suddenly,carrying over the roar of the water,he heard screams coming from the river and rushed out immediately,spotting a car in the river.“I’ve got to do something,”he told himself.But how did he approach the car in such a complete darkness? Without thinking twice,Joe returned to his truck and drove to the river bank.Then he turned on the headlights and got a long rope from his truck.After that,he fastened the one end of the rope to the truck tight.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
The water was still rising.
Joe finally reached the couple.
参考范文
The water was still rising.And the rain continued to pour down,By this time,the muddy water had reached the chest of Charlie and Jane,who shivered uncontrollably and could not tell whether they trembled because of cold or fright.Fortunately,they spotted the flashing headlights of Joe’s truck and caught a glimpse of his stout figure approaching them with a long rope.A strong torrent,coupled with the showering rain,washed over Joe and nearly swallowed him.However,this determined man rose to the flood and forged ahead,painfully and laboriously.
Joe finally reached the couple.“Catching the rope!” he yelled at the top of his lungs.Having received Joe’s message,Charlie and Jane twisted their figures and clutched the rope tightly.Together,three of them swam against the torrent along the rope and finally made it to the bank.Charlie held Joe’s hands tightly and uttered with a choking tone,“Thank...you,without...your help,Jane and I would have been...drowned to death.” Joe shrugged and said anyone at his place would have done the same thing.Indeed,what a narrow escape they had and what a noble heart Joe has!
