Millions of people get the news of an air crash. When that happens, what the media doesn't show the world is other automobile ile accidents. This causes many americans to drive rather than fly, but is driving really a safer way to travel than flying. Research over the past several years has shown that flying is, in fact, the safest method of transportation. A study in the news week magazine testing deaths per one hundred million miles for different forms of transportation found that cars have zero point nine four deaths for one hundred million miles traveled, while trains have zero point zero four deaths, and planes and buses each come out the same with zero point zero one deaths per one hundred million miles traveled. When you look at the data, you see that there are hundreds of automobile al accidents daily across the united states, but only a small percentage of these crashes involved deaths. On the other hand, there are very few aircraft crashes in the united states per year. But when there is a crash, there is usually a fairly large loss of life involved. And nearly every large plane that crashes anywhere makes the front page headline in nearly every newspaper across the world. Good morning, everyone.

笔试部分
第一部分 阅读理解(共两节,满分35分)
第一节(共9小题;每小题2.5分,满分22.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted of as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human one. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?
21. What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Make. B. Overlook. C. Encourage. D. Reduce.
22. The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as
A. time-consuming B. fast-paced C. thought-provoking D. well-designed
23. What is the primary purpose of using “game engines”?
A. To replace real-world simulators.
B. To create virtual conditions for human drivers.
C. To generate realistic images in computer games.
D. To teach the software about rare dangers in reality.
24. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A. Ensuring the pleasure of driving. B. Making their sports cars affordable.
C. Removing public doubts about safety. D. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Porsche: Sports Cars at Risk
B. Self-driving Cars: Still Some Way to Go
C. Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles
D. Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AI
【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D 24. A 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了自动驾驶汽车的发展现状、面临的挑战以及未来的不确定性。
【21题详解】
词句猜测题。 根据第一段中“But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.(但这很难实现,汽车制造商选择scale back许多尝试。例如,去年,叫车服务公司优步(Uber)以低价出售了其开发自动驾驶汽车的部门)”可知,由于实现完全自动驾驶汽车很难,汽车制造商选择减少许多尝试,因此“scale back”的意思是“减少”。故选D。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段中“The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.(美国智库兰德公司计算,要开发一个比人类驾驶员安全20%的系统,一支由100辆自动驾驶汽车组成的车队必须一年365天、每天24小时运行,行驶140亿公里。以平均道路速度计算,这需要大约400年的时间)”可知,自动驾驶汽车学习安全驾驶的过程非常耗时。故选A。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段中“These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this.(这些软件教授在现实中很少遇到的危险。马丁内斯博士和她的同事们使用“游戏引擎”,即在电脑游戏中生成逼真图像的程序,来做到这一点)”可知,用游戏引擎的主要目的是教软件应对现实中罕见的危险。故选D。
24题详解】
细节理解题。 根据最后一段中“From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?(不过,从保时捷的角度来看,还有一个相关的问题。考虑到拥有跑车的主要原因之一是车主炫耀他们认为自己的驾驶技能,那么,软件剥夺了这些炫耀权利的版本的市场会有多大呢?)”可知,自动驾驶会剥夺车主炫耀驾驶技术的权利,保时捷面临的挑战是无法保障驾驶乐趣。故选A。
【25题详解】
主旨大意题。 根据第一段中“But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so.(但这很难实现,汽车制造商选择减少许多尝试)”以及后文对自动驾驶汽车发展面临的挑战和未来的不确定性的描述,可知文章主要讲述了自动驾驶汽车的发展还有很长的路要走。选项B“自动驾驶汽车:仍有很长的路要走”适合作本文的标题。故选B。
B
When Kari Leibowitz first arrived in the Norwegian city of Tromso, she was both attracted by, and fearful of, the approaching winter. Two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, the city does not see the sun from mid-November to mid-January, a far cry from Stanford, California, where she had been studying before travelling to Norway.
In many countries, the short days of winter are thought to cause low mood, yet Tromso’s residents do not show the similar wintertime depression. As a psychologist, Leibowitz was curious about the ways they lived with the long “polar night”.
Previous research shows that people who see stressful events as “challenges”, with an opportunity to learn and adapt, tend to cope much better than those who focus more on the threatening aspects — like the possibility of failure or embarrassment. To test whether a different outlook could also explain the resilience (适应力) of Tromso’s residents, Leibowitz designed the “wintertime mindset scale”, asking participants to rate how much they agreed or disagreed with statements about winter such as “I love the coziness of winter” and “Winter is boring”.
She found that participants’ answers predicted their well-being over the coming months: the more they saw the winter as an exciting opportunity to enjoy an icy climate, the higher levels of overall mental health they have. Besides, Leibowitz found that these attitudes actually increase with latitude (纬度) — the positive mindset is most common where it’s most needed.
Indeed, many of Leibowitz’s friends embraced the possibility of skiing in the mountains, or having a warm drink in the candlelight. “There is this interaction between the culture you’re part of and the mindset growing out of it,” says Joar Vitterso, Leibowitz’s colleague at the Arctic University of Tromso.
Soon, Leibowitz found her own mindset stifling: She learned to love long walks with a headlamp guiding her path, and came to appreciate the “soft, peaceful” appearance of the city in the darkness. “Most people just hate the winter and feel like there’s nothing they can do about it... But once you put it in people’s heads that they have control over their mindset, that’s when something powerful happens,” says Leibowitz.
26. What do we know about the residents of Tromso?
A. They are longing for the coming winter.
B. They are seldom influenced by winter stress.
C. They are likely to become depressed in winter.
D. They see winter as an opportunity to work out.
27. Why did Leibowitz carry out her research?
A. To rate the resilience of the local people.
B. To prove wintertime depression as a challenge.
C. To suggest the ways to deal with the hard winter.
D. To find out whether the previous theory applies to Tromso.
28. What can we conclude from Leibowitz’s findings?
A. Tromso’s residents prefer living in high-latitude areas.
B. Winter offers people a better opportunity to feel at home.
C. A positive mindset may indicate a high life satisfaction in winter.
D. People in high latitudes are less optimistic when facing long dark nights.
29. Which of the following will Leibowitz most probably agree with?
A Wintertime helps to change people’s mindset.
B. People hate winter because they can do nothing.
C. Awareness of control over mindset makes a difference.
D. High latitude makes people less able to control their mindset.
【答案】26. B 27. D 28. C 29. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了心理学家Kari Leibowitz对挪威特罗姆瑟市居民冬季心态的研究及其发现。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第二段“In many countries, the short days of winter are thought to cause low mood, yet Tromso’s residents do not show the similar wintertime depression.(在许多国家,冬季短暂的白天被认为会导致情绪低落,然而特罗姆瑟的居民并没有表现出类似的冬季抑郁)”可知,特罗姆瑟的居民很少受到冬季压力的影响。故选B。
【27题详解】
细节理解题。 根据第三段“Previous research shows that people who see stressful events as “challenges”, with an opportunity to learn and adapt, tend to cope much better than those who focus more on the threatening aspects — like the possibility of failure or embarrassment. To test whether a different outlook could also explain the resilience(适应力) of Tromso’s residents, Leibowitz designed the “wintertime mindset scale”, asking participants to rate how much they agreed or disagreed with statements about winter such as “I love the coziness of winter” and “Winter is boring”.(先前的研究表明,将压力事件视为“挑战”,并有机会学习和适应的人,往往比那些更关注威胁方面(如失败或尴尬的可能性)的人应对得更好。为了测试不同的观点是否也能解释特罗姆瑟居民的适应力,Leibowitz设计了“冬季心态量表”,要求参与者对他们对冬季的陈述的同意或不同意程度进行评分,如“我喜欢冬天的舒适”和“冬天很无聊”)”可知,Leibowitz进行研究是为了找出先前的理论是否适用于特罗姆瑟。故选D。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。 根据第四段“She found that participants’ answers predicted their well-being over the coming months: the more they saw the winter as an exciting opportunity to enjoy an icy climate, the higher levels of overall mental health they have.(她发现,参与者的回答可以预测他们未来几个月的幸福感:他们越把冬天视为享受寒冷气候的激动人心的机会,他们的整体心理健康水平就越高)”可知,从Leibowitz的研究结果中我们可以得出结论:积极的心态可能表明冬季的生活满意度较高。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。 根据最后一段““Most people just hate the winter and feel like there’s nothing they can do about it... But once you put it in people’s heads that they have control over their mindset, that’s when something powerful happens,” says Leibowitz.(“大多数人只是讨厌冬天,觉得自己对此无能为力……但一旦你让人们意识到他们可以控制自己的心态,那就会发生一些强大的事情,”Leibowitz说)”可知,Leibowitz最可能同意的是:意识到对心态的控制会产生影响。故选C。

【50题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:除了承载交通,它们还充当社交中心,人们聚集在那里聊天、放松或进行宗教祭祀。这里考查定语从句,先行词为social centers,表地点,在从句中作地点状语,用关系副词where引导。故填where。

【57题详解】
考查反身代词。句意:温州廊桥文化协会理事长钟小波二十多年来致力于保护木拱桥。这里考查contribute oneself to...,为固定搭配,意为“致力于……”。故填himself。

第三部分 写作(共一节,满分25分)
60. 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。
A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim (暗淡的). In despair, I had finally put the house on the market. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬), Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and filling in the job application forms. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, wearing his favorite bear romper (连体衣), as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on a cold New Year’s Eve. When the doorbell rang, I ran to the door and swung it open to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. From that day on, she became Forrest’s devoted guardian, following closely wherever he crawled.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I sprang up to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. That’s when a chill ran down my spine: my baby was nowhere to be seen.
(1)所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
In panic, I opened the door and ran outside.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After a check-up, Forrest was allowed to go home from the hospital.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
In panic, I opened the door and ran outside. My heart stopped. There was Forrest, motionless and face-down in the deep end. I plunged into the freezing water. Just as I grabbed him, Brigitte leaped in too, her strong body helping push us toward the edge. I scrambled out with my son, his little body limp and cold. Falling to my knees on the patio, I began frantic CPR, counting and breathing, pleading for a response as his soaked bear romper clung to him.
After a check-up, Forrest was allowed to go home from the hospital. The doctor confirmed he would recover completely, calling it a miracle born of quick action. That night, as I watched Brigitte settle faithfully beside Forrest’s bed, a profound clarity washed over me. Material losses meant little compared to what she had saved. We might lose the house, but we would never lose each other. Brigitte was not a cost; she was family — our four-legged guardian angel, now and always.
【解析】
【导语】本文以大丹犬Brigitte与家庭的羁绊为线索展开,讲述了作者因经济困境打算卖房弃犬时,Brigitte及时救下落入泳池的幼子,最终让作者明白它是家庭不可或缺的“四条腿守护天使”的故事。

A
When driving, Clara-Marina Martinez takes down any unusual behaviour she sees on the road. She then feeds these into machine-learning algorithms (算法), a form of AI, which are intended to produce a system reliable enough for a car to drive itself without any disturbance from the driver, and cope with all situations on the road. But this proving hard to achieve, carmakers choose to scale back many attempts to do so. Last year, for instance, Uber, a ride-hailing service, sold off its unit developing self-driving cars at a low price.
Autonomous vehicles are boasted of as being not just convenient but potentially safer. However, just as people take time to learn how to drive safely, machines are no exception. The RAND Corporation, an American think-tank, calculates that to develop a system 20% safer than a human driver, a fleet of 100 self-driving cars would have to operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and cover 14 billion kilometres. At average road speeds, that would take about 400 years.
Carmakers such as Porsche therefore accelerate the development process using simulators (模拟器). These teach software about danger only rarely encountered in reality. Dr Martinez and her colleagues employ “game engines”, the programs that generate photo realistic images in computer games, to do this. These are used to create virtual worlds through which the software can drive.
How quickly, if ever, all this will translate into reality remains to be seen. Both regulators and customers will need to overcome doubt that a software driver really can be safer than a human one. From Porsche’s point of view, though, there is one other relevant question. Given that much of the reason for owning a sports car is for owners to show off what they regard as their driving skills, just how big a market will there be for a version where software takes those boasting rights away?
21. What do the underlined words “scale back” mean in Paragraph 1?
A. Make. B. Overlook. C. Encourage. D. Reduce.
22. The learning process of autonomous vehicles’ safe driving can be described as
A. time-consuming B. fast-paced C. thought-provoking D. well-designed
23. What is the primary purpose of using “game engines”?
A. To replace real-world simulators.
B. To create virtual conditions for human drivers.
C. To generate realistic images in computer games.
D. To teach the software about rare dangers in reality.
24. What challenge do autonomous vehicles bring to Porsche?
A. Ensuring the pleasure of driving. B. Making their sports cars affordable.
C. Removing public doubts about safety. D. Integrating game engines into their vehicles.
25. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Porsche: Sports Cars at Risk
B. Self-driving Cars: Still Some Way to Go
C. Simulators: The Core of Autonomous Vehicles
D. Machine Learning Algorithms: The Arrival of AI

When Kari Leibowitz first arrived in the Norwegian city of Tromso, she was both attracted by, and fearful of, the approaching winter. Two hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle, the city does not see the sun from mid-November to mid-January, a far cry from Stanford, California, where she had been studying before travelling to Norway.
In many countries, the short days of winter are thought to cause low mood, yet Tromso’s residents do not show the similar wintertime depression. As a psychologist, Leibowitz was curious about the ways they lived with the long “polar night”.
Previous research shows that people who see stressful events as “challenges” with an opportunity to learn and adapt, tend to cope much better than those who focus more on the threatening aspects — like the possibility of failure or embarrassment. To test whether a different outlook could also explain the resilience (适应力) of Tromso’s residents, Leibowitz designed the “wintertime mindset scale”, asking participants to rate how much they agreed or disagreed with statements about winter such as “I love the coziness of winter” and “Winter is boring”.
She found that participants’ answers predicted their well-being over the coming months: the more they saw the winter as an exciting opportunity to enjoy an icy climate, the higher levels of overall mental health they have. Besides, Leibowitz found that these attitudes actually increase with latitude (纬度) — the positive mindset is most common where it’s most needed.
Indeed many of Leibowitz’s friends embraced the possibility of skiing in the mountains, or having a warm drink in the candlelight. “There is this interaction between the culture you’re part of and the mindset growing out of it,” says Joar Vitterso, Leibowitz’s colleague at the Arctic University of Tromso.
Soon, Leibowitz found her own mindset stifling: She learned to love long walks with a headlamp guiding her path, and came to appreciate the “soft, peaceful” appearance of the city in the darkness. “Most people just hate the winter and feel like there’s nothing they can do about it... But once you put it in people’s heads that they have control over their mindset, that’s when something powerful happens,” says Leibowitz.
26. What do we know about the residents of Tromso?
A. They are longing for the coming winter.
B. They are seldom influenced by winter stress.
C. They are likely to become depressed in winter.
D. They see winter as an opportunity to work out.
27. Why did Leibowitz carry out her research?
A. To rate the resilience of the local people.
B. To prove wintertime depression as a challenge.
C. To suggest the ways to deal with the hard winter.
D. To find out whether the previous theory applies to Tromso.
28. What can we conclude from Leibowitz’s findings?
A. Tromso’s residents prefer living in high-latitude areas.
B. Winter offers people a better opportunity to feel at home.
C. A positive mindset may indicate a high life satisfaction in winter.
D. People in high latitudes are less optimistic when facing long dark nights.
29. Which of the following will Leibowitz most probably agree with?
A. Wintertime helps to change people’s mindset.
B. People hate winter because they can do nothing.
C. Awareness of control over mindset makes a difference.
D. High latitude makes people less able to control their mindset.

A Four-legged Guardian Angel
Snow had just melted off the ground that April day at our house in Regina Beach, Saskatchewan. I had just cleaned up the pool in preparation for selling the house. The year before, I had lost my job with the provincial government, and now our financial situation was grim (暗淡的). In despair, I had finally put the house on the market. Even worse, I would have to give up my beloved Great Dane (大丹犬), Brigitte, because I could no longer afford the cost of feeding it. The thought of losing the dog and our beautiful home was almost more than I could bear.
Deep in despair, I sat typing up resumes and filling in the job application forms. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my thirteen-month-old son, Forrest, wearing his favorite bear romper (连体衣), as he lay on the carpet, playing near our big, gentle nanny-dog, Brigitte. It seemed as if Brigitte was always meant to be in this family and she turned out to be a perfect companion.
Brigitte came to our house on a cold New Year’s Eve. When the doorbell rang, I ran to the door and swung it open to find a beautiful Great Dane sitting there, looking up at me with big, intelligent eyes. From that day on, she became Forrest’s devoted guardian, following closely wherever he crawled.
Thinking of these, I couldn’t help heaving a sigh and went straight back to work. However, I hadn’t typed more than two sentences when Brigitte began barking furiously and running back and forth to the sliding glass door overlooking our pool.
I sprang up to see what was happening and noticed that the sliding door was slightly open. That’s when a chill ran down my spine: my baby was nowhere to be seen.
