B Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful. 41. What do we know from the first paragraph? A. The author’s father was born in a worker’s family. B. Those born stupid could not change their life. C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world. D. The poor could hardly afford school education. 42. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”. A. one new thing B. a request C. the news D. some comment 43. It can be learned from the passage that the author________. A. enjoyed talking about news B. knew very well about Nepal C. felt regret about those wasted days D. appreciated his father’s educational technique 44. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author? A. Continual learning. B. Showing talents. C. Family get-together. D. Winning Papa’s approval. 45. The author’s father can be best described as ________. A. an educator expert at training future teachers B. a parent insistent on his children’s education C. a participant willing to share his knowledge D. a teacher strict about everything his students did C Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com. Hear.com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices pack cutting-edge technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a unique way that has been clinically proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech. But hear.com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the entire experience to make hearing care more accessible and more affordable. “Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.” “We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.” And it’s working. Hear.com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speaks for itself. Hear.com’s “never corporate” and “customer first” approach also helps drive the company’s success, encouraging employees to act like owners and put customers first. “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.” 46. What does the underlined part “this ill repute” in Para 1 refer to? A. Hearing aids being too expensive to afford. B Hearing aids ignoring the needs of the elderly. C. Hearing aids developing at a really slow pace. D Hearing aids being poor in design and function. 47. What does Para 2 mainly talk about? A. The popularity of hear.com’s hearing aids. B. The innovations in hear.com’s hearing aids. C. The benefits brought by hear.som’s hearing aids. D. The effort hear.com’s made to develop hearing aids. 48. What does the Hearing Success Program aim to do? A. Add attractive features to hearing aids. B. Help customers adjust to new hearing aids. C. Find the possible causes for customers’ hearing loss. D Educate people about the consequences of hearing loss. 49. What can we infer about hear.com’s employees? A. They take pride in their work. B. They lack a sense of belonging. C. They reject the company culture. D. They cooperate well with review platforms. 50. What does the passage focus on? A. Products and services of a hearing aid company. B. Hearing problems in the elderly. C. The company culture of hear.com. D. Younger customers’ interest in hearing aids. D This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased (死者) said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish (亚米希人), a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. propose a definition B. make a comparison C. reach a conclusion D. introduce a topic 52. What does the author intend to show with the example of the Amish? A. Their way of life will change in the near future. B. Not everyone is willing to embrace new technology. C. The quality of life in the countryside is higher than in the city. D. Following the lifestyle of celebrities will lead to a decline in the quality of life. 53. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A. New technology has brought a lot of convenience to mankind. B New technology can prevent potential natural disasters from happening. C. New technology can help us expand our circle of friends. D. New technology can help us find our friends on the other side of the world. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards new technology? A. Pessimistic. B. Critical. C. Skeptical. D. Grateful. 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. Should Driverless Car Have a Future. B. The Amish and New Technology C. Driverless Car with New Technology D. Should We Fight New Technology? 五、阅读表达(共5小题;每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 56.

So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education. Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. And dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment—the time to share the day’s new learning. Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” he’d say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Nepal is ....” Silence. Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation of the world would depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well….” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal. This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts. As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher. Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful. 41. What do we know from the first paragraph? A. The author’s father was born in a worker’s family. B. Those born stupid could not change their life. C. The town elders wanted to learn about the world. D. The poor could hardly afford school education. 42. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”. A. one new thing B. a request C. the news D. some comment 43. It can be learned from the passage that the author________. A. enjoyed talking about news B. knew very well about Nepal C. felt regret about those wasted days D. appreciated his father’s educational technique 44. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author? A. Continual learning. B. Showing talents. C. Family get-together. D. Winning Papa’s approval. 45. The author’s father can be best described as ________. A. an educator expert at training future teachers B. a parent insistent on his children’s education C. a participant willing to share his knowledge D. a teacher strict about everything his students did 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. D 44. A 45. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章中作者介绍了父亲独特的教育方式，教会自己持续学习的重要性，并表达自己对父亲的敬爱。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段关键句“Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then.”（爸爸是一个穷苦农民儿子，早早地离开了学校，去了一家工厂工作，因为当时的教育是为富人准备的。）可知，爸爸是一个穷苦农民的儿子，因为当时的教育是为富人准备的，穷人几乎负担不起学校教育，所以他早早地离开了学校，由此可知，从第一段我们能知道穷人几乎负担不起学校教育。故选D项。 【42题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线单词上句“We would talk about the news of the day”（我们会谈论当天的新闻）可知，我们会和爸爸一起谈论当天的新闻，由此可知，画线单词部分指的是“无论多么微不足道，新闻都不会被轻视”，由此可知，画线单词“it”代指的是上文提到的“news”。故选C项。 【43题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段关键句“And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming our value, giving us a sense of dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.”（通过看着我们，倾听我们，尊重我们的意见，肯定我们的价值，给我们一种尊严感，爸爸无疑是我们最有影响力的老师。）和最后一段关键句“His technique has served me well all my life.”（他的技巧使我终身受益。）可知，作者认为父亲对他来说是最有影响力的老师，父亲的教育技巧使他终身受益，由此可推断出，作者欣赏父亲的教育技巧。故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段关键句“Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators. They were imparting what Papa had known all along—the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life.”（后来，在我作为未来的教师接受培训的期间，我与一些最著名的教育家一起学习。他们正在传授爸爸一直知道的东西——持续学习的价值。他的技巧使我终身受益。）可知，对于作者来说，“晚餐时间”让作者学会了持续学习，而正是这一点使作者终身受益，由此可知，“晚餐时间”对作者来说最大的价值是持续学习。故选A项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。通读文章，结合第一段关键句“He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.”（他下定决心，他的孩子不会被剥夺受教育的权利。）可知，作者的爸爸知道教育的重要性，坚持让自己的孩子接受教育，并利用“晚餐时间”让孩子们分享学到的知识，教会孩子持续学习的重要性，由此可知，作者的爸爸是一个坚持让孩子接受教育的父亲。故选B项。 C Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com. Hear.com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto. These impressive devices pack cutting-edge technology in designs that are practically invisible. They also use a unique way that has been clinically proven to deliver better-than-normal hearing so you can clearly understand speech in any environment. With additional features like Bluetooth and rechargeability, today’s hearing aids are attracting even younger customers skilled in tech. But hear.com knows it’s not just about tech and design. They’ve put an enormous effort into the entire experience to make hearing care more accessible and more affordable. “Everyone should be able to hear well to live well,” Crusius says. “And it’s very individual. Each person’s hearing loss is different and requires a personalized approach to find the best solution.” “We hear with our brains, not our ears. And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.” And it’s working. Hear.com has now helped more than 100,000 customers improve their hearing. Their A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and 5-star rating on the customer review platform, Trustpilot, speaks for itself. Hear.com’s “never corporate” and “customer first” approach also helps drive the company’s success, encouraging employees to act like owners and put customers first. “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.” 46. What does the underlined part “this ill repute” in Para 1 refer to? A. Hearing aids being too expensive to afford. B. Hearing aids ignoring the needs of the elderly. C. Hearing aids developing at a really slow pace. D Hearing aids being poor in design and function. 47. What does Para 2 mainly talk about? A. The popularity of hear.com’s hearing aids. B. The innovations in hear.com’s hearing aids. C. The benefits brought by hear.som’s hearing aids. D. The effort hear.com’s made to develop hearing aids. 48. What does the Hearing Success Program aim to do? A. Add attractive features to hearing aids. B. Help customers adjust to new hearing aids. C. Find the possible causes for customers’ hearing loss. D. Educate people about the consequences of hearing loss. 49. What can we infer about hear.com’s employees? A. They take pride in their work. B. They lack a sense of belonging. C. They reject the company culture. D. They cooperate well with review platforms. 50. What does the passage focus on? A. Products and services of a hearing aid company. B. Hearing problems in the elderly. C. The company culture of hear.com. D. Younger customers’ interest in hearing aids. 【答案】46. D 47. B 48. B 49. A 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述Dr. Marco Vietor和Paul Crusius领导的世界上增长最快的助听器公司，尤其讲述助听器公司的产品和服务。 【46题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly.(助听器通常给人的印象是主要由老年人佩戴的丑陋、无效的设备。)”可推测下文“this ill repute”说的是上文的丑陋、无效的设备，指的是助听器在设计和功能上很差，故选D。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Hear. com’s years of research led to the development of two game-changing hearing aids—the Silk and Styletto.

And it takes at least 30 days for our brain to adjust and relearn how to hear again with new hearing aids,” Dr. Vietor says. “To guarantee your best outcome with hearing aids, we developed the industry’s first 30-day program, Hearing Success Program, so customers have that extra level of care and knowledge to succeed.” (“我们用大脑听，而不是耳朵。我们的大脑需要至少30天的时间来调整和重新学习如何使用新的助听器再次听到声音，”维特博士说。“为了保证您使用助听器的最佳效果，我们开发了行业内第一个30天计划——听力成功计划，这样客户就有了额外的护理和知识来获得成功。” ) ”可知我们的大脑需要至少30天的时间来调整和重新学习如何使用新的助听器再次听到声音，所以听力成功计划就是帮助客户适应新的助听器，故选B。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“ “We’re investing heavily in shaping our company culture,” Crusius says. “Individuals who work at hear.com say they are here to do more than a job. They’re helping change lives all around the world.” (Crusius说：“我们在塑造公司文化方面投入了大量资金。在hear.com工作的人说，他们在这里不仅仅是为了工作。他们正在帮助改变世界各地的生活。”)”可推断hear.com的员工为他们的工作感到自豪，故选A。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其第一段“Hearing aids usually bring to mind images of ugly, ineffective devices mainly worn by the elderly. But this ill repute is quickly changing, as they’ve recently taken a turn thanks to two innovators, Dr. Marco Vietor and Paul Crusius, who now lead the fastest-growing hearing aid company in the world—hear.com.(助听器通常给人的印象是主要由老年人佩戴的丑陋、无效的设备。但这种坏名声正在迅速改变，因为他们最近有了一个转折，多亏了两位创新者，Dr. Marco Vietor和Paul Crusius，他们现在领导着世界上增长最快的助听器公司。)”可知文章主要讲述的Hear. com公司的创新产品和服务，故选A。 D This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased (死者) said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon. On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish (亚米希人), a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet. They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century, and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future. They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work, family, and community. They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous. It could even be argued that the Amish’s quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large, polluted cities. On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media. Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life. Of course, when new technology changes the way we live, it can be a scary prospect. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it. 51. In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________. A. propose a definition B. make a comparison C. reach a conclusion D. introduce a topic 52. What does the author intend to show with the example of the Amish? A. Their way of life will change in the near future. B. Not everyone is willing to embrace new technology. C. The quality of life in the countryside is higher than in the city. D. Following the lifestyle of celebrities will lead to a decline in the quality of life. 53. What does the author mainly want to tell us in Paragraph 3? A. New technology has brought a lot of convenience to mankind. B. New technology can prevent potential natural disasters from happening. C. New technology can help us expand our circle of friends. D. New technology can help us find our friends on the other side of the world. 54. What is the author’s attitude towards new technology? A. Pessimistic. B. Critical. C. Skeptical. D. Grateful. 55. What makes the best title for the passage? A. Should Driverless Car Have a Future. B. The Amish and New Technology C. Driverless Car with New Technology D. Should We Fight New Technology? 【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。作者通过无人驾驶汽车发生车祸引起很多人对这项新技术持否定态度引出话题。一方面，有的人确实可以在没有新技术的情况下仍然生活得更好；另一方面新技术也给各地的人们带来了很多好处。对此作者认为新技术给社会和个人都带来了好处，对新技术持支持的态度。 【51题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This morning, I saw the shocking headline: “Passenger Dies When Car Crashes in Driverless Mode”. In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new. The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologised for the accident, but the families of the deceased (死者) said it was not enough. Nevertheless, the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.(今天早上，我看到了一个令人震惊的标题:“无人驾驶模式下发生车祸，乘客死亡”。在这篇文章中，很多人都说公众应该反对开发无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说，一些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。因此，我们不应该仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它。该报纸报道称，这家汽车公司已经为事故道歉，但死者家属表示，这还不够。尽管如此，该公司仍然声称，不久的将来，大多数人都会乘坐无人驾驶汽车出行)”可推知，作者通过无人驾驶汽车发生车祸引起很多人对这项新技术持否定态度以及这家汽车公司持有的不同态度引出话题。由此可知第一段的目的是引入一个主题。故选D。 【52题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“On the one hand, there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology. Probably the most well known are the Amish (亚米希人), a group of Christians living in rural America. They do not own or drive cars, watch TV, or use the Internet.(一方面，世界上有许多不同群体的人在没有新技术的情况下幸福地生活着。最有名的可能是阿米什人，一群生活在美国农村的基督徒。他们不买车，也不开车，不看电视，也不上网)”可推知，作者想用阿米什人的例子说明不是每个人都愿意接受新技术。故选B。 【53题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years. For example, the latest weather-tracking computer programmes give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters, which saves many lives. Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world. It has also made finding opportunities in life much easier, as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.(另一方面，多年来，新技术为世界各地的人们提供了许多好处。例如，最新的天气跟踪计算机程序为人们提供了许多关于潜在自然灾害的警告，这挽救了许多人的生命。此外，互联网使朋友和家人保持联系成为可能，即使他们在世界的两端。它还使人们更容易在生活中找到机会，因为它允许人们通过使用社交媒体建立更大的朋友网络)”可知，作者在第三段主要想告诉我们新技术给人类带来了很多便利。故选A。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Personally, I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances. I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network. My health monitor, which I wear all the time, has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.(就我个人而言，我从技术进步中获益良多。我是通过社交网络找到AI设计师这一职业的。我一直戴着的健康监测器也帮助我保持了一生中最好的身材)”可推知，作者对新技术的态度是感激的。故选D。 【55题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In the article, various people said that the public should oppose the idea of developing driverless cars. They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous. Hence, we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.(在这篇文章中，很多人都说公众应该反对开发无人驾驶汽车的想法。他们说，一些技术进步是不必要的，甚至可能是危险的。因此，我们不应该仅仅因为技术是新的就接受它)”以及倒数第二段中“On the other hand, new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.(另一方面，多年来，新技术为世界各地的人们提供了许多好处)”结合文章主要说明了新技术导致了人类死亡，因此遭到了一些人的反对，对此作者认为新技术给社会和个人都带来了好处。可知，D选项“我们应该反对新技术吗？”最符合文章标题。故选D。 五、阅读表达(共5小题;每题2分，共10分) 阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China. Toh’s love for the Chinese bamboo flute began in primary school when his elder brother joined the Chinese orchestra in middle school to learn to play the musical instrument. He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning. As he got older, Toh went to Singapore for further study. According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited. In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began. After getting his bachelor’s degree, Toh started to teach the Chinese bamboo flute in Malaysia and Singapore. His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies. Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments. Communication and innovation promoted the development of diverse art culture and enriched the cultural layers of art. In recent years, Toh would return to Malaysia during holidays to promote the art of the Chinese bamboo flute. Having been in China for more than a decade, Toh’s love for the country has long been rooted in his heart, and he is looking forward to the prosperity and development of cultural industries in China. 56. What made Toh start learning the bamboo flute? (no more than 4 words) __________________________________________________________________ 57. What does the underlined word in Paragraph 3 mean? (1 word) __________________________________________________________________ 58. Why did Toh return to Beijing? (no more than 13 words) __________________________________________________________________ 59. What did Toh do in China after graduation? (no more than 12 words) __________________________________________________________________ 60. What do you think of Toh? Please give your reasons. (no more than 20 words) __________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Its clear sound. 57. Brave/Courageous. 58. Because he wanted to improve his performance skills and get more knowledge. Or: Because of his desire to improve his performance skills and to get knowledge. 59. He taught at Guangxi Arts University and performed in different countries. 60. He is a determined man, because he chose to go to Beijing to learn the Chinese bamboo flute better. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了马来西亚人Toh学习中国长笛的经历。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第二段中“He said the clear sound of the bamboo flute guided him onto the road of flute learning.”（他说，竹笛清脆的声音引导他走上了学习长笛的道路。）可知，清脆的竹笛声引导他走上学习长笛的道路。故答案是：Its clear sound. 【57题详解】 考查词义猜测。根据第三段中“According to Toh, there were few professional Chinese bamboo flute teachers in Malaysia, and the learning environment for bamboo flute players was limited.”（据Toh介绍，马来西亚专业的中国竹笛老师很少，竹笛手的学习环境也很有限。）以及“He applied for retention (保留) of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began.”（他申请保留已经上过的那所大学的录取资格，动身前往北京。他人生的新篇章就此开始了。）由此可知，此处为2005年，Toh做了一个大胆的决定。故可猜测划线单词bold为“大胆的，勇敢的”意思，故答案是：Brave/Courageous。 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段中“His desire to improve his performance skills and his thirst for knowledge drove him back to Beijing to continue his studies.”（他渴望提高自己的表演技巧和对知识的渴望驱使他回到北京继续他的学业。）可知，Toh回到北京是因为他想提高自己的表演技巧，获得更多的知识。故答案是：Because he wanted to improve his performance skills and get more knowledge. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据倒数第二段中“Toh had planned to return to Malaysia after graduation, but upon graduation, Guangxi Arts University offered him a job. During his stay in China, he has also joined teams and performed in countries such as Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia. They tried to combine the Chinese bamboo flute with local musical instruments.”（Toh原计划毕业后回马来西亚，但毕业后，广西艺术大学为他提供了一份工作。在中国期间，他还加入了越南、菲律宾和柬埔寨等国家的团队并进行了演出。他们试图把中国的竹笛和当地的乐器结合起来。）可知，毕业后Toh在中国广西艺术学院任教，并在多国演出。故答案是：He taught at Guangxi Arts University and performed in different countries. 【60题详解】 考查推理判断。根据文章大意以及第一段“When Li Toh first came to China to pursue his flute (长笛) dream, the Malaysian man had never expected that his dream could take root in China.”（当Li Toh第一次来到中国追求他的长笛梦想时，这位马来西亚人从未想到他的梦想可以在中国扎根。）和第三段中“In 2005, Toh made a bold decision. He applied for retention of his admission qualifications to the university he had already attended, and set off for Beijing. A new chapter of his life thus began.”（2005年，Toh做了一个大胆的决定。他申请保留已经上过的那所大学的录取资格，动身前往北京。他人生的新篇章就此开始了。）由此可推知，Toh是一个有决心的人，因为他选择去北京更好地学习中国竹笛。故答案是：He is a determined man, because he chose to go to Beijing to learn the Chinese bamboo flute better. 六、书面表达(25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津。你的英国朋友Chris计划今年暑假来中国研学旅行（study tour），正在考虑选择哪所大学、参加科技项目还是文化项目，特写信向你征求建议。请你给他回信，内容包括： （1）支持他来研学旅行： （2）阐述需要考虑的因素（如地域，课程特色等）； （3）研学期间相约游玩。 参考词汇：特色，专长：specialty 注意： （1）词数不少于100； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯。 Dear Chris, I'm glad to hear that you’re coming to China for a study tour this summer. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Jin 【答案】 Dear Chris, I’m glad to hear that you’re coming to China for a study tour this summer.
