Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an Al system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 21. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 22. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A botanist. D. An archeologist. 23. What do the inventions have in common? A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools. B An English mother Liz Pinfield-Wells, has recycled more than 2,600 pounds (1,200 kg) of trash (垃圾) through a DIY recycling center in her garden shed (棚) in Dawley Shropshire. Pinfield-Wells established the recycling center after the birth of her third child when she discovered that her town’s roadside recycling program did not accept certain items. The recycling center accepts 30 different categories of recyclable waste. Pin field-Wells encouraged the public to leave their mixed recycled items at the end of her driveway, and dozens of residents have since dropped off their trash in her shed. She has even accepted Pringles tubes, which have metal and plastic components and should not be placed in the roadside bin. “Setting up the recycling drop-off center, in my front garden has hopefully helped the community to recycle more. It can sometimes seem a little difficult knowing where to start but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier,” she said. Every month, she sends the collected items in vacuum-packed (真空包装的) bags to TerraCycle, a firm that turns the waste into small plastic balls for use in other products, such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the trash is then changed into points for money, which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice. In the last three years, Pinfield-Wells has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden. Pinfield-Wells hopes that her recycling center will raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage others to take small steps to reduce their carbon footprint. She has created a Facebook group for here eco-center recycling shed, which now has over 1,000 members. 24. What inspired Liz to start the program? A. Overloading trash. B. Her preference for DIY practice. C Her children’s encouragement. D. Limitation of local trash service. 25. What does TerraCycle do? A. It develops plastic tubes. B. It produces vacuum-packed bags. C. It processes waste into small plastic balls. D. It supplies woodchips for community gardens. 26. What is Liz’s expectation of her center? A. It will get new equipment. B. It will boost community economy. C. It will replace the local trash service. D. It will motivate more people to take action. 27. Which of the following best describes Liz Pinfield-Wells? A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Responsible and thoughtful. C. Adventurous and determined. D. Pioneering and humble. C Could the next Ernest Hemingway or Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI software program? It’s a question becoming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning software continues to evolve. Much of this is just nerves. Today’s AI creative writing programs are not yet at a stage of development where they pose a serious threat to Colleen Hoover or Charles Dickens. But while attention continues to focus on the possibility of a blanket takeover of human literature by AI, far less consideration has been given to the prospect of AI co-working with humans. Earlier this month, American sci-fi writer Ken Liu, who had been awarded Hugo and Nebula to his name, joined 12 other professional authors for a writing workshop on Google’s Wordcraft. This AI tool, a language generating model, is not yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-powered writing assistant that can, when given the right instruction from the writer, provide helpful descriptions, create lists of objects or emotional states, and even brainstorm ideas. The writers at the workshop, however, emerged with mixed reports. “Wordcraft is too sensible. Wow!” Robin Sloan wrote. “But ‘sensible’ is another word for predictable, overused and boring. My intention here is to produce something unexpected.” I’m unconvinced that writers awarded the Nobel Prize have much to fear from AI. Their work, and that of countless other novelists, short story writers, dramatists and poets, is too particular, too beautifully unique. Even if a model learned what they had done in the past, it would not be able to predict where their creativity might take them in the future. But for authors who write following a pattern, AI might step in, first as assistants before some day to authorship. Production-line novels are nothing new. In the 1970s, Barbara Cartland, who wrote more than 723 books in her lifetime, many of which are romance bestsellers, would read her novels for her secretary to type up at the remarkable rate of roughly seven chapters a week. But already machine has replaced the secretary’s role. Perhaps creative writing software isn’t that far from replacing the Mrs. Cartlands of today. 28. Which aspect of AI calls for more attention? A. Its damage to our nerves. B. Its progress in literary studies. C. Its cooperation with humans. D. Its influence on human literature. 29. What can we learn about Wordcraft from the text? A. It generates novels automatically. B. It outperforms professional writers. C. Its works receive praises from the public. D. Its works bear similarity to existing ones. 30. What can writers do to avoid the threat from AI? A. Increase writing speed. B. Use diverse resources. C. Produce creative works. D. Follow the latest patterns. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Will AI Replace Human Writers? B. AI Warns Mrs. Cartlands of Today C. Is Writing Running into a New Era? D. Word craft Lies at the Center of Debate D Madagascar, the world’s second-largest island country located off Africa’s eastern coast, is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hotspot. The country has unique wildlife, with 90% of its plants and animals found nowhere else. Madagascar’s wildlife creates some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and popular spots. One of its conspicuous landscapes, attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth, is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region. This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon’i Tsiribihina and Morondava, creating a unique and beautiful setting. Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar. Of the Earth’s eight species, six are native to the country. Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2, 800 years old, with trunks rising to 150 feet. The avenue is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 meters. Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地). This road is one of Madagascar’s most visited places. It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants. However, massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees, leaving the baobabs to grow alone. The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor center and generates little money for local communities. Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years. 32. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in the first paragraph mean? A. New. B. Cultural. C. Striking. D. Changing. 33. What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs? A. It is a big forest. B. It has eight baobab species. C. It consists of many different plants. D. It has Africa’s oldest baobabs. 34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The risk to local baobab trees. B. Natural disasters in Madagascar. C. Poor living conditions in Madagascar. D. The quality customer service of the avenue. 35. What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph? A. Curiosity. B. Caution. C. Hopefulness. D. Sympathy. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind.

People who cannot afford to buy their own laptop computers can borrow one from the library. Besides, many libraries have book stores where visitors can buy new and used books. The money raised goes back to supporting the libraries. 第二部分　阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers — led by Alphabet’s AI company Deep Mind — said they developed an Al system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 21. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 22. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A botanist. D. An archeologist. 23. What do the inventions have in common? A. They focus on health issues. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They are AI-driven technology tools. 【答案】21. B 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了2022年里人工智能领域的一些有趣的新发明。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据Meta’s speech-to-speech translation部分的“Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. (Facebook的母公司Meta表示，它已经开发了一种技术工具，可以直接在英语和闽南语之间进行翻译。闽南语是一种口语，没有广泛使用的书面形式)”可知，这款工具致力于研究翻译，因此可用于跨文化交流。故选B项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings部分的“The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. (这个名为Ithaca的工具旨在帮助历史学家修复这些文字，并确定它们被写下的时间和地点)”可知，Ithaca可以帮助历史学家修复缺失的文字。由此推知，考古学家会对此感兴趣。故选D项。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据Meta’s speech-to-speech translation部分的“Meta said it trained its AI models (Meta表示，它训练了自己的人工智能模型)”、Method to identify Parkinson’s disease部分的“Researchers announced a new Al method to identify Parkinson’s disease.

Pinfield-Wells established the recycling center after the birth of her third child when she discovered that her town’s roadside recycling program did not accept certain items. The recycling center accepts 30 different categories of recyclable waste. Pin field-Wells encouraged the public to leave their mixed recycled items at the end of her driveway, and dozens of residents have since dropped off their trash in her shed. She has even accepted Pringles tubes, which have metal and plastic components and should not be placed in the roadside bin. “Setting up the recycling drop-off center, in my front garden has hopefully helped the community to recycle more. It can sometimes seem a little difficult knowing where to start but with every small step, it gets that little bit easier,” she said. Every month, she sends the collected items in vacuum-packed (真空包装的) bags to TerraCycle, a firm that turns the waste into small plastic balls for use in other products, such as watering cans and benches. The weight of the trash is then changed into points for money, which can be paid out twice a year to a charity or sports organization of her choice. In the last three years, Pinfield-Wells has raised more than £1,000, which she has donated to her 14-year-old daughter Zoe’s gymnastic group to buy new equipment. She has also donated money to another local charity to buy woodchips for their community garden. Pinfield-Wells hopes that her recycling center will raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage others to take small steps to reduce their carbon footprint. She has created a Facebook group for here eco-center recycling shed, which now has over 1,000 members. 24. What inspired Liz to start the program? A. Overloading trash. B. Her preference for DIY practice. C. Her children’s encouragement. D. Limitation of local trash service. 25. What does TerraCycle do? A. It develops plastic tubes. B. It produces vacuum-packed bags. C. It processes waste into small plastic balls. D. It supplies woodchips for community gardens. 26. What is Liz’s expectation of her center? A. It will get new equipment. B. It will boost community economy. C. It will replace the local trash service. D. It will motivate more people to take action. 27. Which of the following best describes Liz Pinfield-Wells? A. Ambitious and intelligent. B. Responsible and thoughtful. C. Adventurous and determined. D. Pioneering and humble. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是英国一位名叫Liz Pinfield-Wells的母亲在她位于Dawley Shropshire的花园棚里建立了一个DIY回收中心，回收了2600多磅的垃圾。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Pinfield-Wells established the recycling center after the birth of her third child when she discovered that her town’s roadside recycling program did not accept certain items.(Pinfield-Wells在生下第三个孩子后，发现镇上的路边回收项目不接受某些物品，于是建立了这个回收中心)”可知，当地垃圾服务有限激励Liz开始这个项目，故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“Every month, she sends the collected items in vacuum-packed (真空包装的) bags to TerraCycle, a firm that turns the waste into small plastic balls for use in other products, such as watering cans and benches.(每个月，她把收集到的物品用真空包装袋送到TerraCycle公司，这家公司把垃圾变成小塑料球，用于其他产品，比如喷水壶和长凳)”可知，TerraCycle将废物加工成小塑料球。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Pinfield-Wells hopes that her recycling center will raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage others to take small steps to reduce their carbon footprint.(Pinfield-Wells希望她的回收中心能提高人们对回收重要性的认识，并鼓励其他人采取小步骤来减少他们的碳足迹)”可知，Liz对她的中心的期望是激励更多的人采取行动。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Pinfield-Wells hopes that her recycling center will raise awareness about the importance of recycling and encourage others to take small steps to reduce their carbon footprint.(Pinfield-Wells希望她的回收中心能提高人们对回收重要性的认识，并鼓励其他人采取小步骤来减少他们的碳足迹)”对环境保护很负责任，而且通过鼓励他人参与进来，是考虑周到的，因此可用responsible和thoughtful来描述她，故选B。 C Could the next Ernest Hemingway or Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI software program? It’s a question becoming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning software continues to evolve. Much of this is just nerves. Today’s AI creative writing programs are not yet at a stage of development where they pose a serious threat to Colleen Hoover or Charles Dickens. But while attention continues to focus on the possibility of a blanket takeover of human literature by AI, far less consideration has been given to the prospect of AI co-working with humans. Earlier this month, American sci-fi writer Ken Liu, who had been awarded Hugo and Nebula to his name, joined 12 other professional authors for a writing workshop on Google’s Wordcraft. This AI tool, a language generating model, is not yet publicly available but is advertised as an AI-powered writing assistant that can, when given the right instruction from the writer, provide helpful descriptions, create lists of objects or emotional states, and even brainstorm ideas. The writers at the workshop, however, emerged with mixed reports. “Wordcraft is too sensible. Wow!” Robin Sloan wrote. “But ‘sensible’ is another word for predictable, overused and boring. My intention here is to produce something unexpected.” I’m unconvinced that writers awarded the Nobel Prize have much to fear from AI. Their work, and that of countless other novelists, short story writers, dramatists and poets, is too particular, too beautifully unique. Even if a model learned what they had done in the past, it would not be able to predict where their creativity might take them in the future. But for authors who write following a pattern, AI might step in, first as assistants before some day to authorship. Production-line novels are nothing new. In the 1970s, Barbara Cartland, who wrote more than 723 books in her lifetime, many of which are romance bestsellers, would read her novels for her secretary to type up at the remarkable rate of roughly seven chapters a week. But already machine has replaced the secretary’s role. Perhaps creative writing software isn’t that far from replacing the Mrs. Cartlands of today. 28. Which aspect of AI calls for more attention? A. Its damage to our nerves. B. Its progress in literary studies. C. Its cooperation with humans. D. Its influence on human literature. 29. What can we learn about Wordcraft from the text? A. It generates novels automatically. B. It outperforms professional writers. C. Its works receive praises from the public. D. Its works bear similarity to existing ones. 30. What can writers do to avoid the threat from AI? A. Increase writing speed. B. Use diverse resources. C. Produce creative works. D. Follow the latest patterns. 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Will AI Replace Human Writers? B. AI Warns Mrs. Cartlands of Today C. Is Writing Running into a New Era? D. Word craft Lies at the Center of Debate 【答案】28. C 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要讲的是本月早些时候，曾获得雨果奖和星云奖的美国科幻作家Ken Liu与其他12位专业作家一起参加了一个谷歌的Wordcraft写作研讨会，这是一款人工智能写作助手，文章主要探讨了人工智能是否会取代人类的作家。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“But while attention continues to focus on the possibility of a blanket takeover of human literature by AI, far less consideration has been given to the prospect of Al co-working with humans.(但是，当我们继续关注人工智能全面接管人类文学的可能性时，人们对人工智能与人类合作的前景的考虑要少得多。)”可知，人工智能与人类的合作更值得关注，故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的““Wordcraft is too sensible. Wow!” Robin Sloan wrote. “But ‘sensible’ is another word for predictable, overused and boring. My intention here is to produce something unexpected.”(Word craft太明智了。哇！但“明智”是可预测、过度使用和无聊的另一个词。我的目的是创造一些意想不到的东西。”)”可知，Wordcraft的作品与现存作品有相似之处。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Their work, and that of countless other novelists, short story writers, dramatists and poets, is too particular, too beautifully unique. Even if a model learned what they had done in the past, it would not be able to predict where their creativity might take them in the future.(他们的作品，以及无数其他小说家、短篇小说作家、剧作家和诗人的作品，都太过独特，太过美好。即使一个模型了解了他们过去的行为，它也无法预测他们的创造力在未来会把他们带到哪里。)”可知，作家们可以通过创作有创意的作品来避免人工智能的威胁，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段的“Could the next Ernest Hemingway or Jane Austen be a well-engineered AI software program? It’s a question becoming increasingly pressing as machine language-learning software continues to evolve.(下一个Ernest Hemingway或Jane Austen会是一个精心设计的人工智能软件程序吗？随着机器语言学习软件的不断发展，这个问题变得越来越紧迫。)”和第二段的“Much of this is just nerves. Today’s AI creative writing programs are not yet at a stage of development where they pose a serious threat to Colleen Hoover or Charles Dickens.(这在很大程度上只是神经紧张。今天的人工智能创意写作程序还没有发展到对Colleen Hoover或Charles Dickens构成严重威胁的阶段。)”可知，本文主要探讨的是人工智能是否会取代人类的作家，因此最好的题目是A选项“Will AI Replace Human Writers?(人工智能会取代人类作家吗？)”，故选A。 D Madagascar, the world’s second-largest island country located off Africa’s eastern coast, is an island of diverse ecosystems and a biodiversity hotspot. The country has unique wildlife, with 90% of its plants and animals found nowhere else. Madagascar’s wildlife creates some of the country’s most beautiful scenery and popular spots. One of its conspicuous landscapes, attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth, is the Avenue of the Baobabs in the Menabe region. This avenue is made up of numerous baobab trees along the dirt road linking Belon’i Tsiribihina and Morondava, creating a unique and beautiful setting. Baobab trees are common throughout Madagascar. Of the Earth’s eight species, six are native to the country. Some of the baobabs in the country are about 2, 800 years old, with trunks rising to 150 feet. The avenue is a row of about 25 baobabs stretching about 260 meters. Other baobab trees are also found in the nearby pastures (牧草地). This road is one of Madagascar’s most visited places. It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. These trees were once part of a forest that was made up of other plants. However, massive deforestation cleared the area of most trees, leaving the baobabs to grow alone. The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires. Despite being a popular tourist attraction, the Avenue of the Baobabs has no admission fee or visitor center and generates little money for local communities. Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years. 32. What does the underlined word “conspicuous” in the first paragraph mean? A. New. B. Cultural. C. Striking. D. Changing. 33. What do we know about the Avenue of the Baobabs? A. It is a big forest. B. It has eight baobab species. C. It consists of many different plants. D. It has Africa’s oldest baobabs. 34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The risk to local baobab trees. B. Natural disasters in Madagascar. C Poor living conditions in Madagascar. D. The quality customer service of the avenue. 35. What kind of feeling is expressed in the last paragraph? A. Curiosity. B. Caution. C. Hopefulness. D. Sympathy. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。马达加斯加是世界第二大岛国，这里的猴面包树大道是最引人注目的景观之一，吸引着来自世界各地的游客。文章主要介绍了猴面包树在这里很常见的原因，猴面包树面临的风险以及人们为保护猴面包树所采取的措施。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“attracting tourists from almost all corners of the Earth,(吸引着来自世界各地的游客)”可知，猴面包树大道吸引着来自世界各地的游客，这说明这里的景色很引人注目。由此推知，划线单词conspicuous意为“引人注目的”，与C项“Striking.(引人注目的)”意思一样，故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“It is also the most accessible place to see some of Africa’s oldest baobabs. (这里也是最容易看到非洲最古老猴面包树的地方)”可知，猴面包树大道有非洲最古老的猴面包树。故选D。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“The baobab trees along the road and the other species growing in the nearby areas are always under constant threat from the increasing population. The trees also face threats from polluted water from the nearby fields, forest fires, and bushfires.(公路沿线的猴面包树和附近地区生长的其他猴面包树一直受到不断增长的种群的威胁。这些树木还面临着来自附近田地、森林大火和森林大火的污水威胁)”可知，第三段主要介绍了当地猴面包树面临的风险。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Thankfully, non-governmental organizations in partnership with the government have noticed the area and developed activities to protect the avenue. The Ministry of Environment, Ecology, and Forests declared it a temporary protected area in July 2007. In July 2015, the site was declared a national monument (国家保护区), the first in Madagascar. The government and local communities hope the trees can survive for additional 800 years.(值得庆幸的是，与政府合作的非政府组织注意到了这一地区，并开展了保护该大道的活动。环境、生态和森林部在2007年7月宣布它为临时保护区。2015年7月，该遗址被宣布为国家纪念区，这是马达加斯加的第一个遗址。政府和当地社区希望这些树能再活800年)”可知，猴面包树正在得到保护。由此推知，作者在最后一段表达出了希望感。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Museums are centers filled with information designed to enlighten and educate the curious mind. Especially for children, museums introduce them to unknown worlds, inspire their imagination and provide them with valuable learning experiences. It’s generally assumed that museums only help academic (学术的) education. ____36____ Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class. They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes. ____37____ Just reading out to them, encouraging them to ask questions and holding their attention. ____38____ Individuals acquire values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with within-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can acquire slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want. Museums are well enough equipped to awaken curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions. ____39____ Some of them might need a great deal of thought to answer and some of them might not have any answers at all. No matter what they asked, all of these questions must be equally encouraged and children must be given the confidence to find the answers to them on their own. Museums have the ability to leave their visitors in awe of the huge amount of information they holds. They provide inspiration for young children via their resources that leave them fascinated about the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that arouse the creative mind, etc. ____40____ A. Museums are packed with exhibits that aid developing critical thinking skills. B. Museums are a collection of resources that enhance informal education. C. But in fact, they provide knowledge regarding all walks of life. D. To connect with the innovations, it is important that they understand where they all began. E Some of these questions may have immediate answers. F. Parents themselves don’t have to be history lovers. G. All in all, museums encourage children to dream and wonder. 【答案】36. C 37. F 38. B 39. E 40. G 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是博物馆对孩子们的重要作用。 【36题详解】 空前“It’s generally assumed that museums only help academic (学术的) education.(人们普遍认为博物馆只有助于学术教育)”提到人们普遍认为博物馆只会促进学术教育，下一段第一句“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class.(与传统课堂相比，博物馆为孩子们提供了更大的历史联系和参考)”说到博物馆为孩子们提供了比传统课堂更大的历史联系和参考，可见博物馆除了促进学术教育，还可以提供其它方面的知识，C选项“But in fact, they provide knowledge regarding all walks of life.(但事实上，它们提供各行各业的知识)”说明了博物馆还可以提供其它方面的知识，因此承上启下，符合语境，故选C。 【37题详解】 空前“Museums offer children bigger connections and references to history than a traditional class. They play a huge role in impacting their historical knowledge and the innovation taking place before their eyes.(与传统课堂相比，博物馆为孩子们提供了更大的历史联系和参考。他们在影响他们的历史知识和他们眼前发生的创新方面发挥了巨大的作用)”提到了博物馆可以给孩子提供历史联系，空后“Just reading out to them, encouraging them to ask questions and holding their attention.(只要朗读给他们听，鼓励他们提问，吸引他们的注意力)”提到了要给孩子们读某种东西，空格处应该会提到给孩子们读这些内容的人，且和前面的“历史”有关，F选项“Parents themselves don’t have to be history lovers.(父母自己不一定是历史爱好者)”提到了给孩子们读历史的是父母，父母不一定是历史爱好者，但是可以读给孩子们听，承上启下，符合语境，故选F。 【38题详解】 根据后文“Individuals acquire values, knowledge, and skills that are not applicable to the only field but will aid them for a lifetime. A single visit to a museum near you will provide children with within-depth knowledge about different subjects that they can acquire slowly, for museums let you stay as long as you want.(个人获得的价值、知识和技能并不适用于唯一的领域，但会帮助他们一生。只要去附近的博物馆参观一次，孩子们就会对不同的主题有深入的了解，这些知识是可以慢慢掌握的，因为博物馆可以让你想待多久就待多久)”可知，后文提到了博物馆可以让孩子对个人获得的价值、知识和技能有深入的了解，这些都是属于个人的、非正式的教育资源。B选项“Museums are a collection of resources that enhance informal education.(博物馆是加强非正式教育的资源集合)”说明博物馆是加强非正式教育的资源集合，是非正式的教育资源，引起下文，符合语境，故选B。 【39题详解】 空前“Museums are well enough equipped to awaken curiosity in young minds, which in turn will lead to these children asking questions.(博物馆有足够的设备来唤醒年轻人的好奇心，这反过来又会导致这些孩子提出问题)”指出博物馆会导致孩子们提出问题，空格处应该对这些问题进行描述，E选项“Some of these questions may have immediate answers.(其中一些问题可能有直接的答案)”说明一些问题可能有直接的答案，是对孩子们提出的问题的描述，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选E。 【40题详解】 根据上文“Museums have the ability to leave their visitors in awe of the huge amount of information they holds. They provide inspiration for young children via their resources that leave them fascinated about the night sky and the solar system, the skeletons that keep them thinking about life before them, the artworks that arouse the creative mind, etc.(博物馆有能力让他们的参观者对他们所拥有的大量信息感到敬畏。他们通过他们的资源为年幼的孩子提供灵感，让他们对夜空和太阳系着迷，让他们思考他们之前的生活的骷髅，激发创造性思维的艺术品等等)”可知，本句为本段最后一句，应总结上文说明博物馆对孩子的作用：鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索，G选项“All in all, museums encourage children to dream and wonder.(总而言之，博物馆鼓励孩子们梦想和好奇)”说明了博物馆鼓励孩子们去梦想和探索，因此承接上文，符合语境，故选G。 第三部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） I live in a poor but pretty town where I know all my neighbors.

"We're closing shop,Henry. Advertising is down.Television is how people get their news today. Local papers are the first to close."Mr.Trotta shrugged.

You were great,Henry—always dependable"Mr. Trotta said.Henry forced his head up to say good-bye. As he rode past the houses he knew so well he saw Mr.Grady on his porch,holding a broom（扫帚）. Henry led him to a chair and cleaned the porch.They sat for a while as Mr.Grady recalled how happy he'd been moving his family to 10 Oak. He sounded lonely. A week after his last deliveries, Henry wondered if his customers missed The Gazette as much as he did. He thought of a way to find out. He started out on his old route with a notebook Henry stopped at Mrs.Burke's. She opened the door, holding the two babies.She asked him if he knew any neighbors with experience of looking after children. Mr. Simon was next door, carrying his violin out."Hey, Henry.
