About15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a business owner and passionate cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a brain condition that often caused balance disturbances.
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel recumbent (侧卧的) bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was cycling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as McLindon learned from his friend’s reaction. “To see his son interacting with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning bike and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder band, a seat belt, and a caregiver’s steering and braking system in the back. The bikes are expensive — $3, 000 to $4, 000, and that’s with the foundation’s large discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they’re a life changer.
“We worked with a 14-year-old who had a back problem,” says McLindon. She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项). In a magazine interview, she said, “I always knew there was an athlete me.”
So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies.” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes most important thing that I do.”
14. What inspired Andrew McLindon to search for a special bike online?
A. His enthusiasm for cycling.
B. His ambition to start a new business.
C. His goal to invent a new type of bike.
D. His desire to help a boy with balance issues.
15. Why was McLindon Family Foundation established?
A. To sponsor special-needs triathlons.
B. To raise money for pediatric rehab clinics.
C. To provide adaptive bikes for disabled children.
D. To offer a social network to children with special needs.
16. What benefit can adaptive bikes bring?
A. They can offer medical treatment.
B. They can provide exercise and fun.
C. They can relieve physical suffering.
D. They can improve academic performance.
17. What does McLindon think of his work with the McLindon Family Foundation?
A. It is a worthwhile effort.
B. It is a temporary solution.
C. It is financially rewarding.
D. It is technically challenging.
C
You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
18. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.
C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.
19. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A. the principles of virtual reality
B. the applications of virtual reality
C. the history of virtual reality
D. the influences of virtual reality
20. According to the passage, virtual reality means .
A. imagining beautiful things in our mind
B. creating something that doesn’t exist
C. experiencing things that don’t really exist
D cloning something that has died out
21. What is the writer’s attitude towards VR?
A. Appreciative. B. Cautious.
C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.
D
Self-driving cars may sound like something from a futuristic sci-fi novel. However, with advanced trials expected from 2021, they are a lot closer to reality than you may think, and they could really help you.
Connected and automated vehicles (also known as CAVs), are vehicles that could perform many of the functions of today’s human drivers in the future. Aware of the potential benefits of the technology from improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion (拥塞), to enabling greater travel independence — the U.K. government has been encouraging the technology.
“However, we won’t get there unless those designing the technology engage properly with a wide range of transport users,” said lain Forbes, head of the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.
FLOURISH, one initiative that received government backing, has helped to advance the successful implementation of CAVs in the U.K. by developing services and capabilities which maxi-mise the benefits of driverless vehicles for users and transport authorities.
The project was a collaboration between small and medium companies and large businesses across multiple industries, universities, local authorities and the not-for-profit sector, to investigate how these vehicles might benefit older adults and those with mobility-related conditions.
Mervyn Kohler, an Age U.K. spokesman, believes FLOURISH’s approach will be key to the positive impact self-driving cars have on older adults. “The project’s connectivity findings will also help the users of the future to make real-time journey decisions, responding to live information,” Tracey Poole, FLOURISH’s project manager and transport planning specialist says: “Not only will these vehicles be more inclusive; they will also be safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.”
Although safety is one of the big prizes associated with the introduction of self-driving cars, with the vast majority of collisions caused by human error, concerns about their safety are common.
The government is keen to understand the public’s view on CAVs and continues to survey public attitudes. It is also taking big steps towards establishing how our laws and regulations might need to change to support the safe use of self-driving cars.
22. What is the advantage of self-driving cars?
A. They guarantee road safety.
B. They remove traffic jams.
C. They provide more freedom of traveling.
D. They get over the elder’s dependence on drivers.
23. What does the underlined word “prizes” in paragraph 7 refer to?
A. Awards. B. Achievements.
C. Realization. D. Characteristics.
24. What can we infer about self-driving cars?
A. Collisions between self-driving cars can’t be avoided.
B. Self-driving cars are more eco-friendly than today's cars.
C. There is still a way to go before self-driving cars hit the road.
D. People are not worried about the safety problems of self-driving cars.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. CAVs: a substitute for today’s human driver
B. How do CAVs help people less able to travel?
C. FLOURISH: a new project on self-driving cars
D. Could self-driving cars soon be a reality?

Now I practice three times a week instead of once a week. That means I am busy with my painting on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings.
I first became interested in art when I was at primary school. I would go out with some paper and a few pencils at the break time and draw anything I saw. Then at middle school we had art classes twice a week and I learned how to use chalk to paint. I majored in arts at universities. I’ve enjoyed painting in lots of different countries.
Well, I’m going to end my speech now by showing you a video of the places I’ve visited. After that, there will be a chance for you to relax with a cup of coffee, and then there will be some time for you to ask some questions.

About15 years ago, Andrew McLindon, a business owner and passionate cyclist, was riding his bike in Austin, Texas, when he thought about a friend’s 12-year-old son. The boy had never known the joy of biking because he suffered from a brain condition that often caused balance disturbances.
When he got home, McLindon, now 60, went online and found a three-wheel recumbent (侧卧的) bike with a seat belt, perfect for a child with balance issues. Soon the boy was cycling around the street with his peers, having fun and getting exercise. But there was more, as McLindon learned from his friend’s reaction. “To see his son interacting with other kids,” McLindon says. “I’ll never forget the smile on his face.”
That smile launched the McLindon Family Foundation. Funded by donations, the group works with pediatric rehab (小儿康复) clinics to find children who can benefit from owning bike and to help craft each bike to the particular needs of the child. A bike may include a headrest, a shoulder band, a seat belt, and a caregiver’s steering and braking system in the back. The bikes are expensive — $3, 000 to $4, 000, and that’s with the foundation’s large discount. For kids lucky enough to get one, they’re a life changer.
“We worked with a 14-year-old who had a back problem,” says McLindon. She spent most days on the couch watching TV. Soon after she got her bike, she was training for special-needs triathlons (铁人三项). In a magazine interview, she said, “I always knew there was an athlete me.”
So far, the foundation has given away 450 bikes, and that’s just a start. “I do a lot of things. I run a lot of companies.” McLindon says. “But getting these kids their bikes most important thing that I do.”
14. What inspired Andrew McLindon to search for a special bike online?
A. His enthusiasm for cycling.
B His ambition to start a new business.
C. His goal to invent a new type of bike.
D. His desire to help a boy with balance issues.
15. Why was McLindon Family Foundation established?
A. To sponsor special-needs triathlons.
B. To raise money for pediatric rehab clinics.
C. To provide adaptive bikes for disabled children.
D. To offer a social network to children with special needs.
16. What benefit can adaptive bikes bring?
A. They can offer medical treatment.
B. They can provide exercise and fun.
C. They can relieve physical suffering.
D. They can improve academic performance.
17. What does McLindon think of his work with the McLindon Family Foundation?
A. It is a worthwhile effort.
B. It is a temporary solution.
C. It is financially rewarding.
D. It is technically challenging.
【答案】14. D 15. C 16. B 17. A

You’ll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it’s long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules (分子). Then how does it work?
Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wrap-around headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surround-sound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.
VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.
Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their real-world lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to.
18. What equipment do we probably need for virtual reality?
A. A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.
B. A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.
C. A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.
D. A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.
19. Paragraph 3 is mainly about .
A. the principles of virtual reality
B. the applications of virtual reality
C. the history of virtual reality
D. the influences of virtual reality
20. According to the passage, virtual reality means .
A. imagining beautiful things in our mind
B. creating something that doesn’t exist
C. experiencing things that don’t really exist
D. cloning something that has died out
21. What is the writer’s attitude towards VR?
A. Appreciative. B. Cautious.
C. Skeptical. D. Indifferent.
【答案】18. C 19. B 20. C 21. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。本文主要介绍了虚拟现实技术的应用以及人们对这种技术的态度。

Self-driving cars may sound like something from a futuristic sci-fi novel. However, with advanced trials expected from 2021, they are a lot closer to reality than you may think, and they could really help you.
Connected and automated vehicles (also known as CAVs), are vehicles that could perform many of the functions of today’s human drivers in the future. Aware of the potential benefits of the technology from improving road safety and reducing traffic congestion (拥塞), to enabling greater travel independence — the U.K. government has been encouraging the technology.
“However, we won’t get there unless those designing the technology engage properly with a wide range of transport users,” said lain Forbes, head of the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles.
FLOURISH, one initiative that received government backing, has helped to advance the successful implementation of CAVs in the U.K. by developing services and capabilities which maxi-mise the benefits of driverless vehicles for users and transport authorities.
The project was a collaboration between small and medium companies and large businesses across multiple industries, universities, local authorities and the not-for-profit sector, to investigate how these vehicles might benefit older adults and those with mobility-related conditions.
Mervyn Kohler, an Age U.K. spokesman, believes FLOURISH’s approach will be key to the positive impact self-driving cars have on older adults. “The project’s connectivity findings will also help the users of the future to make real-time journey decisions, responding to live information,” Tracey Poole, FLOURISH’s project manager and transport planning specialist says: “Not only will these vehicles be more inclusive; they will also be safer, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.”
Although safety is one of the big prizes associated with the introduction of self-driving cars, with the vast majority of collisions caused by human error, concerns about their safety are common.
The government is keen to understand the public’s view on CAVs and continues to survey public attitudes. It is also taking big steps towards establishing how our laws and regulations might need to change to support the safe use of self-driving cars.
22. What is the advantage of self-driving cars?
A. They guarantee road safety.
B. They remove traffic jams.
C. They provide more freedom of traveling.
D. They get over the elder’s dependence on drivers.
23. What does the underlined word “prizes” in paragraph 7 refer to?
A. Awards. B. Achievements.
C. Realization. D. Characteristics.
24. What can we infer about self-driving cars?
A. Collisions between self-driving cars can’t be avoided.
B. Self-driving cars are more eco-friendly than today's cars.
C. There is still a way to go before self-driving cars hit the road.
D People are not worried about the safety problems of self-driving cars.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. CAVs: a substitute for today’s human driver
B. How do CAVs help people less able to travel?
C. FLOURISH: a new project on self-driving cars
D. Could self-driving cars soon be a reality?

(情绪成熟的人对自己的生活负完全责任。)”直接呼应小标题“不扮演受害者”,且为后文“视挫折为自我提升的责任”提供了观点支撑,符合语境。故选G项。
【30题详解】

They know what they want in life and they also made a conscious decision on the things that they do not want. When things beyond their boundaries happen, they can detect it right away, deal with it accordingly and won’t let it destroy their self-esteem.. (情绪成熟的人清楚自己的立场。他们知道自己在生活中想要什么,也会清醒地决定自己不想要什么。当发生超出自身边界的事情时,他们能立刻察觉,并采取相应的方式处理,不会让这些事损害自己的自尊。)”可知,空处应总结“设定边界”带来的积极作用。D选项“This gives them huge power over emotional control.

Should Students Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phones to School?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Should Students Be Allowed to Bring Mobile Phones to School?
Last Friday, our class held a heated discussion on whether students should be allowed to bring mobile phones to school. With the development of technology, mobile phones have become a common tool in daily life, but they also bring both benefits and problems to campus.
Some students are in favor of carrying mobile phones. First of all, phones allow them to contact their parents easily in case of emergency, which makes both parents and students feel safer. Besides, smartphones can be used as learning tools. For example, students can look up information online, read e-books, or use educational apps to help with their studies. What’s more, they can take photos of the notes on the blackboard or record the teacher’s instructions.
However, others hold the opposite opinion. They argue that mobile phones can easily distract students from their lessons. Some students may play games or chat with friends during class, which affects not only their own learning but also that of others. In addition, using phones for long periods may harm their eyesight and health. Worse still, some might be tempted to use phones to cheat during exams.
As far as I am concerned, I believe that students can be allowed to bring mobile phones to school, but rules should be set to guide their use. For example, phones should be turned off during class and only used during breaks or for learning purposes under the teacher’s guidance. It is not the phone itself that is good or bad, but how we use it. Therefore, students should learn to use mobile phones wisely and improve their self-discipline.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生围绕“学生是否可以带手机进学校”这一话题,介绍班级讨论情况并发表个人观点。
【详解】1. 词汇积累
允许:allow → permit
支持:in favor of → support
影响:affect → influence
诱惑:be tempted to → be lured into
2. 句式拓展

原句:As far as I am concerned, I believe that students can be allowed to bring mobile phones to school, but rules should be set to guide their use.
拓展句:As far as I am concerned, I hold the belief that students can be allowed to bring mobile phones to school, but rules should be set to guide their use.
【点睛】【高分句型1】First of all, phones allow them to contact their parents easily in case of emergency, which makes both parents and students feel safer.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句)
【高分句型2】It is not the phone itself that is good or bad, but how we use it.(运用强调句型“It is... that...”强调主语)
