Would you mind us opening the door.” “ No, go ahead ,please.” 2. My calculations were based on the ________ that house prices would remain steady.

All three boys, had worked part-time in a (an) ________ grocery, but Carter was the only one of the boys who ________ employed full-time afterwards. A. identical; was B. identical; were C. different; was D. different; were 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词词义辨析和主谓一致。句意：三个男孩都曾在同一家杂货店做过兼职，但只有卡特后来找到了全职工作。根据句意、冠词a (an)以及空后单数名词“grocery”可知三个男孩是在同一家杂货店上班，所以空1应是identical，意为“同一的”，而different意为“不同的”跟； “the only one of+复数名词+定语从句”的结构后跟定语从句的谓语动词用单数形式，因为先行词是“the only one”，表示唯一的一个，强调个体，所以空2应是was，故选A。 15. ________ every clock in the Palace Museum were restored, there would still be work to do, because restoration would probably need to begin again on the clocks that were repaired long ago.

For younger family members, get-togethers can reinforce family traditions and can be learning experiences that help them to grow and mature. Traditional family get-togethers can include a meal and an activity such as going to see a movie. However, there are other ideas that can help make get-togethers memorable and provide moments that enrich the lives of family members. ________ One way to make a family get-together memorable is to give it an environmentally friendly theme. A garden can be planted, for example, including vegetables that can be eaten in future get-togethers. A tree could be planted and called the family tree. The family get-together could also be planned for a specific place such as a community nature center. The family could participate in an environmental project such as a neighborhood clean-up, or cleaning streams or roadsides. Be active Family get-togethers can have physical activity as a main focus of the fun. Families can gather at a beach and go swimming. Building sand castles also requires exertion, for it takes patience and imagination. Other beach activities can include kite flying and searching for shells. A family get-together can also be planned for a park that has a nature trail. A picnic meal can provide food, and everyone can take a hike for exercise. A family get-together can also have a sports theme when planned for a location that has a basketball court, tennis court or some other sporting venue. For places with snow, families can go sledding or skiing together. Museum or Historic Site A family get-together can also be an educational gathering. For example, a get-together planned at a museum can provide entertainment as well as educational value. Family members can talk and catch up with one another while touring the museum. Contact the local organization to find historical sites, which can provide memorable scenery to a family get-together. 31.

Gu, 18, now studies at Shenzhen No.2 Vocational (职业的) and Technical School. In April, she won first prize at a provincial competition for vehicle maintenance in Guangdong, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province. Gu decided to major in automobiles in a vocational school when she was in junior high. “I clearly know my strength and weakness,” she said. Gu thought that she would not perform well in her College Entrance Exam due to poor performance in math if she insisted on studying in a senior high school. But Gu is insightful: She knows that she is much more interested in robots and driverless cars. At first, her parents were surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. But Gu persuaded them in a rational way: Before making the decision, she researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools' curriculums and sought advice from seniors. “I showed my parents that I’m really passionate about the major and take my career prospect seriously,” Gu said. “Then they respected my decision.” Gu did what she said she would. She started learning about cars in 2019. But she encountered many difficulties in reading the circuit diagrams (电路图). “Each model of car has its own circuit diagrams,” she said. “It’s hard to figure out all of those diagrams in a short time.” To overcome the difficulty, Gu had been practicing and turning to teachers whenever she had a problem. Finally, Gu achieved her “eureka (顿悟)” moment after she studied hard for one year. She showed her perseverance in her one-month intensive training for the competition. From 8 am to 5 pm, Gu had her usual lessons, but at night, she attended a training camp. Compared to her male classmates, Gu is not strong enough to carry some heavier car parts, but constant training makes up for it. On top of that, Gu is more patient and careful than other male competitors, Li Shichuan, Gu’s teacher, told The Paper. “Many people are prejudiced against students from vocational schools and think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That’s a stereotype( 刻板印象 ). I don’t think we’re inferior( 低人一等的 ) to others and nor does gender have something to do with the choice of occupation.” Gu hopes to be a versatile( 全能型的 ) talent in the auto industry. “If possible, I also want to take part in the World Skills Competition and demonstrate Chinese craftsmanship to more people,” she added. 36. Why did Gu Huijing decide to study automobiles at a vocational school? A. She wanted to show girls’ capability in automobile repair. B. She believed her math could give her an edge. C. She wanted to further her interest. D. She took classes to avoid the College Entrance Exam. 37. How did Gu persuade her parents to accept her decision? A. She asked for advice from them. B She convinced them that she took it seriously. C. She showed them the curriculum. D. She did research on different careers. 38. How did Gu overcome her difficulties? A. By exercising more and asking for help. B By taking extra lessons on reading diagrams. C. By studying the differences between circuit diagrams. D. By attending different training camps. 39. What is Gu’s advantage over her male classmates? A. She has more support from people around her. B. She has versatile talents in the auto industry. C. She has better career prospects. D.

As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists (治疗专家). Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friendships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better—— but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects. Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline. Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered (操纵) awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with traffic laws actually improves human performance. Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you. 41. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph? A. AI will lead to distant interpersonal relationships. B. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online. C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others. D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI. 42. In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression “its decline” refers to the decline in ________. A. drivers’ interaction with the cars B. our ability to cooperate with others while driving C. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving 43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars? A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers. B. They can only affect those with whom they have direct contact. C. They might have potential negative effects on human drivers. D. They should be developed regardless of its unexpected social effects. 44. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger. B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it. C. We can launch new forms of AI without thinking of unexpected social effects. D. More efforts should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars. 45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To present the challenges brought by AI. B. To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations. C. To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI. D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars. 【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. D 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。作者通过日常生活中Alexa和Siri的例子，提出自己的论点——人工智能会阻止人们之间更深层次的交流。接着开始提出自己对于无人驾驶汽车的看法和担忧，并提出需要进一步提升无人驾驶汽车的软件和硬件，让它们更好、更安全地服务于人们。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects.(随着人工智能深入我们的生活，我们必须面对这样一种可能性，即它将阻止我们的情感和深层次的人际联系。)”可推知，作者认为人工智能会导致人与人之间的联系变得越来越肤浅、疏远。故选A。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation.(但它们还会对人类产生什么影响呢？开车是一种非常现代的社会互动，需要高度的合作。)”及划线词所在句“I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline.(我担心，无人驾驶汽车夺走了我们锻炼这种能力的机会，可能会导致这种它的衰落。)”可知，its decline指的是前文this ability的衰弱和下降，而this ability指代上文中的high levels of cooperation，即开车时的合作能力。故选B。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered (操纵) awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers.(这些车辆不仅将被编程以接管驾驶任务，从而剥夺人类做出道德判断的权力（例如，在不可避免发生碰撞时决定撞击哪一位行人），还会影响那些与它们没有直接接触的人类。例如，驾驶员在一辆以稳定不变速度行驶的自动驾驶汽车旁驾驶一段时间后，可能会降低注意力，因此当他们行驶到仅由人类驾驶员占据的高速公路路段时，发生事故的可能性会增加。)”可知，关于无人驾驶汽车，我们能推断出它们可能对人类司机有潜在的负面影响。故选C。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you.(我们必须付出与开发使自动驾驶汽车成为可能的硬件和软件同等的努力，来管理人工智能对车外人群可能产生的影响。毕竟，我们在汽车尾部安装刹车灯，不仅仅是 —— 甚至主要不是 —— 为了车主的利益，而是为了车后的人。)”可推知，作者认为对于自动驾驶汽车，我们应该努力提高它的硬件和软件，让它更加安全。故选D。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，特别是第一段中的“We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations.(我们正在遇到人工智能如何损害人际关系的现实例子。)”和第二段中的“Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us.(此外，我们将与其他一些挑战作斗争。毕竟，无人驾驶汽车的时代已经来临。)”及第三段中的“Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact.(这些车辆不仅将被编程为接管驾驶职责，从而剥夺人类做出道德判断的权力（例如，在不可避免的碰撞中撞到哪个行人），它们还将影响与它们没有直接接触的人类。)”可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是展示人工智能带来的挑战。故选A。 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 During the years working in Peacekeeping Force, I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home. We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails, which were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’ s classroom, and I didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else. After five or six months of hearing from the mail — announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support. I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so, I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home. I had missed spending important festivals with my family. Homesickness seized me. I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes. 46. Who will usually write “To any service member” mails to the author? (No more than 8 words) ________________________________________________________________ 47. Why did the author decide to answer some “To any service member” mails later? (No more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 48. What set the author missing his own family? (No more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________ 49. How do you understand the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4? (No more than 6 words) ________________________________________________________________ 50. Do you think we should maintain peace in the world and why? Please explain in your own words. (No more than 20 words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】46. The general public in his mother country. 47. To tell them “Thanks” for their support. 48. A postmark from his hometown. 49. He missed his family very much. 50. Yes. Only by maintaining peace can we ensure global stability, foster development and promote cooperation among nations for a better future. 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。文章叙述了作者在维和部队服役期间的经历，尤其是收到民众信件并被其中一封来自家乡的信件触动的故事。 【46题详解】 考查细节理解。根据文章第二段“We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails, which were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support.(我们士兵收到许多“致任何军人”的信件，这些信是由我们祖国的普通民众写给远在异国他乡的士兵的，以此表达他们的支持。)”可知，这些“致任何军人”的信件是由作者祖国的普通民众写的。故答案为：The general public in his mother country. 【47题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After five or six months of hearing from the mail — announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support.(在连续五六个月听到有“致任何军人”的信件到来的消息后，我决定拿几封看看。因为我想等有时间的时候，给他们写几句“谢谢”的话，感谢他们的支持。)”可知，作者决定回复一些信件是因为想等有时间的时候给他们写几句“谢谢”的话，感谢他们的支持。故答案为：To tell them “Thanks” for their support. 【48题详解】 考查细节理解题。根据文章第四段“When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home.(当轮到第三封信时，我注意到上面没有回信地址，但有一个来自我家乡的邮戳，这让我想起了家。)”可知，一个来自家乡的邮戳让作者想起了家，从而引发了思乡之情。故答案为：A postmark from his hometown. 49题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据划线句的前文“When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home. I had missed spending important festivals with my family.(第三封信时，我注意到上面没有回信地址，但有一个来自我家乡的邮戳，这让我想起了家。我已经错过了和家人一起度过重要节日的时光。)”可知，划线句前文提到作者因为一个家乡的邮戳引发了思乡之情，故此处划线句Homesickness seized me.意为“思乡之情占据了我”，表达了作者对家人的深切思念。故答案为：He missed his family very much. 【50题详解】 开放性题目，答案不唯一，合理即可。根据文章第一段“During the years working in Peacekeeping Force, I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home.(在维和部队服役的那些年里，我曾被派往国外。作为一名高级分析师，我的工作日通常长达12到16个小时。和所有老兵一样，我们总是期盼着收到来自家乡的信件。)”可知，文章叙述了作者在维和部队服役期间的经历，尤其是收到民众信件并被其中一封来自家乡的信件触动的故事，故文章通过作者远离家乡的故事来体现维护世界和平的至关重要，因为只有通过和平，才能确保全球稳定、促进发展，并推动各国合作，共同创造更美好的未来。故答案为：Yes. Only by maintaining peace can we ensure global stability, foster development and promote cooperation among nations for a better future. 第二节：书面表达(满分15分) 51. 假如你是李华，你的学校正在开展“传承工匠精神”的主题活动，请你写一篇演讲稿，包括以下要点： (1) 一位具有工匠精神的中国人物及其事迹； (2) 通过细节描写体现其专注、坚持与追求卓越的品质； (3) 作为高中生，应该如何在学习和生活中传承工匠精神。 词数：不少于100词。 ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Good morning!

For younger family members, get-togethers can reinforce family traditions and can be learning experiences that help them to grow and mature. Traditional family get-togethers can include a meal and an activity such as going to see a movie. However, there are other ideas that can help make get-togethers memorable and provide moments that enrich the lives of family members. ________ One way to make a family get-together memorable is to give it an environmentally friendly theme. A garden can be planted, for example, including vegetables that can be eaten in future get-togethers. A tree could be planted and called the family tree. The family get-together could also be planned for a specific place such as a community nature center. The family could participate in an environmental project such as a neighborhood clean-up, or cleaning streams or roadsides. Be active Family get-togethers can have physical activity as a main focus of the fun. Families can gather at a beach and go swimming. Building sand castles also requires exertion, for it takes patience and imagination. Other beach activities can include kite flying and searching for shells. A family get-together can also be planned for a park that has a nature trail. A picnic meal can provide food, and everyone can take a hike for exercise. A family get-together can also have a sports theme when planned for a location that has a basketball court, tennis court or some other sporting venue. For places with snow, families can go sledding or skiing together. Museum or Historic Site A family get-together can also be an educational gathering. For example, a get-together planned at a museum can provide entertainment as well as educational value. Family members can talk and catch up with one another while touring the museum. Contact the local organization to find historical sites, which can provide memorable scenery to a family get-together. 31. According to the passage, which of the following is a way of traditional family get-together? A. Seeing a film. B. Planting a tree. C. Having a picnic. D. Visiting a historic site. 32. Which of the following is the best choice for the blank? A. Be planned. B. Family tree. C. Go green. D. Community nature center. 33. What does the underlined word “exertion” in Para. 3 really mean? A. Defect. B. Effort. C. Workshop. D. Expression. 34. If you want to have fun and learn a lot, which one is your best choice? A. A family planting a family tree. B. A family gathering at a beach. C. A family gathering of sports theme. D. A family gathering at a museum. 35. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To give us some advice on how to plan a family get-together B. To introduce some ways of making family get-togethers unusual C. To compare traditional family get-togethers with modern ones D. To tell us why and where we often need a family get-together B Many believe that repairing automobiles is a man’s job, but the story of Gu Huijing is a living proof that women can do it too. Gu, 18, now studies at Shenzhen No.2 Vocational (职业的) and Technical School. In April, she won first prize at a provincial competition for vehicle maintenance in Guangdong, which drew 33 teams from different cities across the province. Gu decided to major in automobiles in a vocational school when she was in junior high. “I clearly know my strength and weakness,” she said. Gu thought that she would not perform well in her College Entrance Exam due to poor performance in math if she insisted on studying in a senior high school. But Gu is insightful: She knows that she is much more interested in robots and driverless cars. At first, her parents were surprised and couldn’t accept her decision. But Gu persuaded them in a rational way: Before making the decision, she researched the future development of the auto industry in her city, compared different schools' curriculums and sought advice from seniors. “I showed my parents that I’m really passionate about the major and take my career prospect seriously,” Gu said. “Then they respected my decision.” Gu did what she said she would. She started learning about cars in 2019. But she encountered many difficulties in reading the circuit diagrams (电路图). “Each model of car has its own circuit diagrams,” she said. “It’s hard to figure out all of those diagrams in a short time.” To overcome the difficulty, Gu had been practicing and turning to teachers whenever she had a problem. Finally, Gu achieved her “eureka (顿悟)” moment after she studied hard for one year. She showed her perseverance in her one-month intensive training for the competition. From 8 am to 5 pm, Gu had her usual lessons, but at night, she attended a training camp. Compared to her male classmates, Gu is not strong enough to carry some heavier car parts, but constant training makes up for it. On top of that, Gu is more patient and careful than other male competitors, Li Shichuan, Gu’s teacher, told The Paper. “Many people are prejudiced against students from vocational schools and think vehicle maintenance is a job for men. That’s a stereotype( 刻板印象 ). I don’t think we’re inferior( 低人一等的 ) to others and nor does gender have something to do with the choice of occupation.” Gu hopes to be a versatile( 全能型的 ) talent in the auto industry. “If possible, I also want to take part in the World Skills Competition and demonstrate Chinese craftsmanship to more people,” she added. 36. Why did Gu Huijing decide to study automobiles at a vocational school? A. She wanted to show girls’ capability in automobile repair. B. She believed her math could give her an edge. C. She wanted to further her interest. D. She took classes to avoid the College Entrance Exam. 37. How did Gu persuade her parents to accept her decision? A. She asked for advice from them. B. She convinced them that she took it seriously. C. She showed them the curriculum. D She did research on different careers. 38. How did Gu overcome her difficulties? A.

College students who are unwilling to work. D. People who are advised to change their jobs. C We are encountering real-world examples of how AI can harm human relations. As digital assistants such as Alexa or Siri become popular, we become accustomed to talking to them as though they were alive. Writing in these pages several years ago, Judith Shulevitz described how some of us are starting to treat them as friends and therapists (治疗专家). Shulevitz herself says she confesses (忏悔) things to Google Assistant that she wouldn’t tell her husband. If we grow more comfortable talking to our devices about our secrets, what happens to our human marriages and friendships? Designers and programmers typically create devices whose responses make us feel better—— but may not help us be self-reflective or think over painful truths. As AI goes deeper into our lives, we must face the possibility that it will prevent our emotions and deep human connects. Besides, we will fight with some other challenges. The age of driverless cars, after all, is upon us. These vehicles promise to considerably reduce the exhaustion and distraction that put human drivers in danger, thus preventing accidents. But what other effects might they have on people? Driving is a very modern kind of social interaction, requiring high levels of cooperation. I worry that driverless cars, by taking away from us an occasion to exercise this ability, could contribute to its decline. Not only will these vehicles be programmed to take over driving duties and hence to remove from humans the power to make moral judgments (for example, about which pedestrian to hit when a crash is unavoidable), they will also affect humans with whom they’ve had no direct contact. For instance, drivers who have steered (操纵) awhile alongside an autonomous vehicle traveling at a steady, changeless speed might drive less attentively, thus increasing their likelihood of accidents once they’ve moved to a part of the highway occupied only by human drivers. Alternatively, experience may reveal that driving alongside autonomous vehicles travelling in perfect accordance with traffic laws actually improves human performance. Either way, we should be careful to launch new forms of AI without first taking such unexpected social effects into account. We must apply the same effort that we apply to the hardware and software that make self-driving cars possible to managing AI’s potential effects on those outside the car. After all, we install brake lights on the back of your car not just, or even primarily, for your benefit, but for the sake of the people behind you. 41. What can be inferred about human relationships from the first paragraph? A. AI will lead to distant interpersonal relationships. B. We will feel comfortable speaking to others online. C. AI will enable people to communicate more with others. D. We will be more self-reflective in interaction thanks to AI. 42. In Paragraph 2, the underlined expression “its decline” refers to the decline in ________. A. drivers’ interaction with the cars B. our ability to cooperate with others while driving C. drivers’ exhaustion and distraction D. our ability to deal with emergencies while driving 43. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of driverless cars? A. They may be better at making more judgments than human drivers. B. They can only affect those with whom they have direct contact. C. They might have potential negative effects on human drivers. D. They should be developed regardless of its unexpected social effects. 44. Which of the following is the writer most likely to agree with? A. Brake lights on the back of our car are installed mainly to warn us of danger. B. We should figure out how new technology affects people before developing it. C. We can launch new forms of AI without thinking of unexpected social effects. D. More efforts should be made to advance the hardware and software of driverless cars. 45. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To present the challenges brought by AI. B. To explain the reason why AI may harm human relations. C. To put forward how to solve the unexpected effect of AI. D. To discuss the advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars. 第Ⅱ卷 非选择题 (满分25分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下面短文，并根据短文内容完成下列各题。 During the years working in Peacekeeping Force, I was sent abroad. As a senior analyst, my workdays were routinely twelve to sixteen hours long. Like all the old soldiers, we looked forward to receiving mails from home. We soldiers received many “To any service member” mails, which were sent by the general public in our mother country to soldiers far away from home, as an expression of support. I never took any of those letters, since I wrote to my wife on a daily basis, as well as occasionally writing notes to my daughter Jenny’ s classroom, and I didn’t feel I had time to write to anyone else. After five or six months of hearing from the mail — announcing the availability of “To any service member” mail, I decided to take a few of the letters. Because I planned, as time permitted, to drop them a line telling them “Thanks” for their support. I picked up three letters, and placed them in my cargo pocket and went back to work. Over the next week or so, I started responding to the letters. When it came time to answer the third letter, I noticed it had no return address, but a postmark from my hometown, which made me think of home. I had missed spending important festivals with my family. Homesickness seized me. I opened the card and started to read the letter attached, which was a short one. About the third or fourth sentence down, it read, “My daddy is a soldier over there, if you see him tell him hi and I love and miss him.” This statement really touched me and made me miss my family even more. Looking down to the name of the sender, I sat in silence as tears filled my eyes. 46. Who will usually write “To any service member” mails to the author?
