Struggling to save the Hungarian Jews,by the war ended, he had preserved some 100,000 more lives by bargaining (讨价还价) with the Nazis, including Adolf Eichman and Kurt Becher among other officers. He did this by making use of the Nazi weaknesses of greed and need “blood for goods”. Kasztner offered money, jewelry and the promise of war materiel (物资) that he knew could never be delivered in exchange for Jewish lives. He and the other activists were able to save only a small number of their people, as nearly half a million Hungarians. Jews were sent to Auschwitz to be killed in just few months. The selection of those who were saved, especially on the train, had bothered Kasztner ever since. After the war, Kasztner and his family emigrated to Israel, where he expected to be welcomed as a hero. Instead, they found tension between settlers and refugees (难民), and because Kasztner had to pretend to make friends with Nasis, he was attacked as a Nazi collaborator (勾结者). When he charged one of his accusers (a man who was jealous (嫉妒) of him back in Hungary) with libel (谤罪), the judge ruled against him because of the struggle for power between the political parties in Israel. The real Rezso Kasztner was an extraordinary man who played a high-risk game with the devil. And he won in the only game of saving human lives. He achieved more in his way than any other individual in Nazi-occupied Europe. In the end all he lost was his own life. 4. What can we learn about Rezso Kasztner from the passage? A.

And he won in the only game of saving human lives. He achieved more in his way than any other individual in Nazi-occupied Europe. In the end all he lost was his own life.(真正的李泽斯·卡斯特纳是个非凡的人，和魔鬼玩高风险的游戏。他赢得了唯一一场拯救人类生命的比赛。在纳粹占领的欧洲，他比任何人都有成就。最后他失去的只有自己的生命)”可知，本文主要讲述了解救犹太人的英雄李泽斯·卡斯特纳的英勇行为。故选A。 Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 8. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible? A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes. C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas. 9. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 10. What function is expected of the rail drones? A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically. C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。应用今天的“空中之眼”的技术，无人机能在保证铁路安全可靠的同时又能帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。他们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置)”可推知，无人机在高压电线检测中的应用，为其应用到铁路线路提供了可行性。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据后文“It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. (据统计，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施)”可知，花在maintenance上的费用是用于“inspect and repair the rail infrastructure （检查和维修铁路基础设施”。由此可知“That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety”是指大幅节省检修成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全，划线词和 C项：Inspection and repair(检修)含义相近。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time.(带有先进传感器和人工智能的非常小的无人机可以像副驾驶一样在火车前面行驶。凭借它们的预见能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能够及时做出反应)”可推知，对于无人机期待的功能是提前发现问题。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Can a small group of drones(无人机)guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometers of rail tracks and infrastructure(基础设施)worldwide are safe for trains on a24/7 basis.(一小群无人机能否在保证铁路安全可靠的同时，帮助铁路运营商每年节省数十亿欧元？这很可能是应用今天的“空中之眼”技术的未来，以确保全球数百万公里的铁路轨道和基础设施全天候安全运行。)”以及后文第二段讲到了使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能;第三段讲到了使用无人机大幅节省维护成本和更好地保护铁路人员安全；第四段讲到了通过使用最新的技术，无人机还可以开始为铁路提供更高的价值，可知文章主要讲述了无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，所以D项“无人机将如何改变铁路的未来。”符合文章中心思想，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选D。 【点睛】 A robot that can wash windows and do the shopping is something that the futuristic cartoon The Jetsons envisioned occurring in 2062, but it is happening now. Unlimited Robotics, an Israeli startup based in Tel Aviv has created a robot that can do the tasks that you don’t want to. Gary, named after the initials of the company’s founder and CEO Guy Altagar’s children, is not like the robots that are already on the market. The robot has two functioning arms and it is no easy task to build a robot with two arms. In fact, Altagar said that the robot can activate its arms to do a number of tasks at the same time. Gary is also autonomous, which means that it can do tasks that are programmed without a person turning on a switch like an iRobot. This means that unlike robots that are designed to do just one task like picking fruit or assembling cars, Gary can pick up new skills and perform new tasks just by writing some additional lines of code. While Gary was designed to do tasks in homes and offices, the robot could easily do work in factories, stores, and hospitals. Gary can hold up to5 kilos (11 pounds) and has a top speed of 1.2 meters per second (3.1 mph) and can adapt to multiple settings - floor, carpets, grass, indoors and outdoors. Gary can adapt to different environments because of the three different infrared (红外线的) and in-depth cameras that are built in. There are currently nine robots that are being used in medical settings and in hotels where there are presently labor shortages. Gary can do nonmedical work by bringing patients water or extra blankets. But this is just the beginning. The company already has plans to increase the number of robots to 500 by the end of 2024. After that, who knows what other futuristic Jetsonian fantasy will become a reality next? 12. Why does the author mention The Jetsons in paragraph 1? A. To highly praise the current robots. B. To get readers interested in robots. C. To lead in the topic of robot Gary. D. To introduce a futuristic cartoon film. 13. What is the advantage of Gary over other robots? A. It is easily operated. B. It can be programmed itself. C. It is remotely controlled. D. It can do multiple tasks automatically. 14. What does paragraph 4 focus on regarding Gary? A. Its capabilities. B. Its design. C. Its appearance. D. Its limitations. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of robots? A. Doubtful. B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Worried. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍Unlimited Robotics公司创造了一种机器人Gary，可以完成你不想做的任务。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A robot that can wash windows and do the shopping is something that the futuristic cartoon The Jetsons envisioned occurring in 2062, but it is happening now. Unlimited Robotics, an Israeli startup based in Tel Aviv has created a robot that can do the tasks that you don’t want to. (未来派动画片《杰森一家》曾设想在2062年出现一个既能擦窗户又能购物的机器人，但现在它已经成真了。总部位于特拉维夫的以色列初创公司“无限机器人”发明了一款机器人，它可以完成你不想做的任务。)”可知，第一段提及The Jetsons是为了引出话题，介绍机器人Gary。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, Altagar said that the robot can activate its arms to do a number of tasks at the same time. (事实上，Altagar说，机器人可以激活它的手臂同时做许多任务。)”可知，相比其他机器人，Gary的优势在于它能自动完成多项任务。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“While Gary was designed to do tasks in homes and offices, the robot could easily do work in factories, stores, and hospitals. Gary can hold up to5 kilos (11 pounds) and has a top speed of 1.2 meters per second (3.1 mph) and can adapt to multiple settings - floor, carpets, grass, indoors and outdoors. Gary can adapt to different environments because of the three different infrared (红外线的) and in-depth cameras that are built in. (虽然Gary的设计目的是在家庭和办公室完成任务，但它可以轻松地在工厂、商店和医院工作。加里可以举起5公斤（11磅）的重物，最高速度为每秒1.2米（3.1英里），可以适应多种环境——地板、地毯、草地、室内和室外。Gary可以适应不同的环境，因为它内置了三种不同的红外和深度摄像头。)”可知，该段主要讲述Gary能做的任务，即其能力。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are currently nine robots that are being used in medical settings and in hotels where there are presently labor shortages. Gary can do nonmedical work by bringing patients water or extra blankets. But this is just the beginning. The company already has plans to increase the number of robots to 500 by the end of 2024. After that, who knows what other futuristic Jetsonian fantasy will become a reality next? (目前有9个机器人被用于医疗机构和酒店，这些地方目前劳动力短缺。加里可以通过给病人送水或额外的毯子来做非医疗工作。但这仅仅是个开始。该公司已经计划到2024年底将机器人数量增加到500个。在那之后，谁知道接下来还有什么未来派的《杰森森》幻想会成为现实呢？)”可知，作者对机器人的未来态度是积极的。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being attractive comes more from your personality than from your appearance.___16___ To have an attractive personality ,develop the ability to communicate, have confidence in yourself and develop a sense of humor.

When a couple moved into the house kitty-corner to us, I looked forward to seeing what they would do with the property. The lot was bare and plain, an unsightly spot on the street. I couldn't wait for the new owners to grow some nice green grass. A lawn (草坪) would be a welcome sight when I looked out of our front window at it from across the street. I thought I had to have mishear d when my new neighbor, Miss LaTrecia. announced she wouldn't be putting one in. We were standing in front of her house, and I almost dropped to the ground. “No lawn?” I repeated. “No lawn,” she confirmed. “At least, not in the front. We'll put grass in the back for our dogs to run around on, but I have my own plans for the front. I'm going to scatter (撒) wildflower seeds. Just imagine the colors! Plus, my husband won't have to tend to the lawn all the time.” She and her husband looked to be in their eighties, and I wanted to be respectful. I struggled to find a polite way to tell her that I completely disagreed. “This Texas soil... there's so much clay and not much drainage (排水),”I said. “Planting a bunch of wildflowers will be a lot more taxing than mowing a lawn.” “Now, now,” Miss LaTrecia insisted, “I have a plan for this yard. We're going to have three rocked tiers... ” I listened, horrified. If Miss LaTrecia did manage to turn her dream into reality, I feared my front window view would be worse than it was now. Over the next few weeks, Miss LaTrecia's yard transformed into something entirely unexpected. True to her word, she built three rock-edged tiers, filling them with dark soil. Then came the wildflower seeds — dozens of packets scattered with hopeful abandon. I watched skeptically from my window, convinced the Texas sun and clay-heavy earth would ruin her project. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, our relationship changed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil. As the days passed, the shoots grew taller and stronger, and before long, a riot of colors burst forth. The wildflowers bloomed in a spectacular display — daisies, sunflowers, and purple coneflowers swayed gently in the breeze, attracting butterflies and bees. The three rock-edged tiers provided a perfect backdrop, creating a beautiful, natural - looking garden. I found myself staring out of the window in wonder, realizing how wrong I’d been. The sight was far more beautiful than any ordinary lawn could ever be. From then on, our relationship changed. I went across the street to apologize to Miss LaTrecia for my initial skepticism. She welcomed me with a warm smile and invited me to help her tend to the garden. We spent many afternoons together, watering the plants, pulling weeds, and chatting. I learned so much from her about gardening and life in general. Her wildflower garden became a neighborhood attraction, and I felt proud to have played a small part in it. It taught me never to judge a book by its cover and that beauty can come in unexpected forms. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物和事件发展为线索展开，讲述了作者对新邻居Miss LaTrecia不在门前种植草坪，而是选择撒野花种子的做法表示怀疑和担忧。然而，随着时间推移，Miss LaTrecia 的花园发生了意想不到的变化的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我惊讶的是，嫩绿的新芽很快就破土而出。”可知，第一段可描写野花生长的过程以及作者态度的转变，作者发现这片花田比普通草坪更美。 ②由第二段首句内容“从那以后，我们的关系发生了变化。”可知，第二段可描写作者和Miss LaTrecia关系的变化，作者向她道歉并加入到花园的打理中，作者也从中收获了很多。 2.续写线索：野花生长——作者态度转变——作者道歉——作者帮忙打理花园——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①绽放：bloom/burst into bloom ②吸引：attract/draw ③道歉：apologize/say sorry 情感类 ①怀疑的：skeptical/doubtful ②惊讶：surprise/astonishment 【点睛】[高分句型 1].

Hungarian Jewish activist Rezso Kasztner, a brilliant, self-confident lawyer and journalist was directly responsible for liberating 1, 684 Jews on a train to Switzerland. Struggling to save the Hungarian Jews,by the war ended, he had preserved some 100,000 more lives by bargaining (讨价还价) with the Nazis, including Adolf Eichman and Kurt Becher among other officers. He did this by making use of the Nazi weaknesses of greed and need “blood for goods”. Kasztner offered money, jewelry and the promise of war materiel (物资) that he knew could never be delivered in exchange for Jewish lives. He and the other activists were able to save only a small number of their people, as nearly half a million Hungarians. Jews were sent to Auschwitz to be killed in just few months. The selection of those who were saved, especially on the train, had bothered Kasztner ever since. After the war, Kasztner and his family emigrated to Israel, where he expected to be welcomed as a hero. Instead, they found tension between settlers and refugees (难民), and because Kasztner had to pretend to make friends with Nasis, he was attacked as a Nazi collaborator (勾结者). When he charged one of his accusers (a man who was jealous (嫉妒) of him back in Hungary) with libel (谤罪), the judge ruled against him because of the struggle for power between the political parties in Israel. The real Rezso Kasztner was an extraordinary man who played a high-risk game with the devil. And he won in the only game of saving human lives. He achieved more in his way than any other individual in Nazi-occupied Europe. In the end all he lost was his own life. 4. What can we learn about Rezso Kasztner from the passage? A.

A man’s heroic deeds in saving Hungarian Jews. B. The crimes committed by the Nazis. C. The darkness of Nazi-occupied Europe. D. People’s different views about heroes. Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year? That is the very likely future of applying today’s “eyes in the sky” technology to make sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis. Drones are already being used to examine high-tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on-time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board. That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews’ efforts. By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher-value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don’t need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co-pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast-moving trains would be able to react in time. 8. What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible? A. The use of drones in checking on power lines. B. Drones’ ability to work at high altitudes. C. The reduction of cost in designing drones. D. Drones’ reliable performance in remote areas. 9. What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to? A. Personnel safety. B. Assistance from drones. C. Inspection and repair. D. Construction of infrastructure. 10. What function is expected of the rail drones? A. To provide early warning. B. To make trains run automatically. C. To earn profits for the crews. D. To accelerate transportation. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones B. How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded C. What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face D. How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways A robot that can wash windows and do the shopping is something that the futuristic cartoon The Jetsons envisioned occurring in 2062, but it is happening now. Unlimited Robotics, an Israeli startup based in Tel Aviv has created a robot that can do the tasks that you don’t want to. Gary, named after the initials of the company’s founder and CEO Guy Altagar’s children, is not like the robots that are already on the market. The robot has two functioning arms and it is no easy task to build a robot with two arms. In fact, Altagar said that the robot can activate its arms to do a number of tasks at the same time. Gary is also autonomous, which means that it can do tasks that are programmed without a person turning on a switch like an iRobot. This means that unlike robots that are designed to do just one task like picking fruit or assembling cars, Gary can pick up new skills and perform new tasks just by writing some additional lines of code. While Gary was designed to do tasks in homes and offices, the robot could easily do work in factories, stores, and hospitals. Gary can hold up to5 kilos (11 pounds) and has a top speed of 1.2 meters per second (3.1 mph) and can adapt to multiple settings - floor, carpets, grass, indoors and outdoors. Gary can adapt to different environments because of the three different infrared (红外线的) and in-depth cameras that are built in. There are currently nine robots that are being used in medical settings and in hotels where there are presently labor shortages. Gary can do nonmedical work by bringing patients water or extra blankets. But this is just the beginning. The company already has plans to increase the number of robots to 500 by the end of 2024. After that, who knows what other futuristic Jetsonian fantasy will become a reality next? 12. Why does the author mention The Jetsons in paragraph 1? A. To highly praise the current robots. B. To get readers interested in robots. C. To lead in the topic of robot Gary. D. To introduce a futuristic cartoon film. 13. What is the advantage of Gary over other robots? A. It is easily operated. B. It can be programmed itself. C. It is remotely controlled. D. It can do multiple tasks automatically. 14. What does paragraph 4 focus on regarding Gary? A. Its capabilities. B. Its design. C. Its appearance. D. Its limitations. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of robots? A. Doubtful. B. Pessimistic. C. Optimistic. D. Worried. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Being attractive comes more from your personality than from your appearance.___16___ To have an attractive personality ,develop the ability to communicate, have confidence in yourself and develop a sense of humor.

When a couple moved into the house kitty-corner to us, I looked forward to seeing what they would do with the property. The lot was bare and plain, an unsightly spot on the street. I couldn't wait for the new owners to grow some nice green grass. A lawn (草坪) would be a welcome sight when I looked out of our front window at it from across the street. I thought I had to have mishear d when my new neighbor, Miss LaTrecia. announced she wouldn't be putting one in. We were standing in front of her house, and I almost dropped to the ground. “No lawn?” I repeated. “No lawn,” she confirmed. “At least, not in the front. We'll put grass in the back for our dogs to run around on, but I have my own plans for the front. I'm going to scatter (撒) wildflower seeds. Just imagine the colors! Plus, my husband won't have to tend to the lawn all the time.” She and her husband looked to be in their eighties, and I wanted to be respectful. I struggled to find a polite way to tell her that I completely disagreed. “This Texas soil... there's so much clay and not much drainage (排水),”I said. “Planting a bunch of wildflowers will be a lot more taxing than mowing a lawn.” “Now, now,” Miss LaTrecia insisted, “I have a plan for this yard. We're going to have three rocked tiers... ” I listened, horrified. If Miss LaTrecia did manage to turn her dream into reality, I feared my front window view would be worse than it was now. Over the next few weeks, Miss LaTrecia's yard transformed into something entirely unexpected. True to her word, she built three rock-edged tiers, filling them with dark soil. Then came the wildflower seeds — dozens of packets scattered with hopeful abandon. I watched skeptically from my window, convinced the Texas sun and clay-heavy earth would ruin her project. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To my surprise, tiny green shoots soon pushed through the soil. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ From then on, our relationship changed. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
