From movies and media, I conceived (构想) the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud. That all changed, however, when my family and I went on a road trip there in July of 2016. When we reached New York, we walked around the city, looking at the amazing buildings, the wonderful museums, and the restaurants lining the streets. Later that day, we decided to join in a tour of the Empire State Building. Standing just outside, I felt like a little ant looking up at the 1,250-1,454-foot building. We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded, dark, and dirty, the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong, for the first time. Afterward, we visited Grand Central Terminal and I was able to see people run around and go about their day, which proved one of my beliefs that New Yorkers are always busy. However, this was soon invalidated (证明……错误) when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading, having picnics, and simply enjoying their day. The following day, we traveled to Times Square. To my surprise, most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows, which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange. After three days, our trip sadly came to an end. Despite being on opposite ends of the East Coast, I noticed that Marietta and New York City had many similarities within their communities. What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes (刻板印象) and the opinions of others; I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions. 41. What did the author think of New York City before he visited it? A. It was modern. B. It was messy. C. It was large. D. It was unpopular. 42. What first led the author to change his opinion on New York City? A. The view from the top of the Empire State Building. B. The busy lifestyle of the people in Times Square. C. The noise in Grand Central Terminal. D. The friendly locals in Bryant Park. 43. How did the author feel when he passed Bryant Park? A. Uncomfortable. B. Disappointed. C. Surprised. D. Satisfied. 44. What did the user find unexpected about Times Square? A. It was quieter than expected. B. Most people were locals selling photos with characters. C. It was full of expensive luxury stores. D. Most people were tourists taking photos. 45. What did the author learn from the trip? A. Seeing is believing. B. Easy come, easy go. C. Actions speak louder than words. D. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. 【答案】41. B 42. A 43. C 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是作者一家去纽约旅行的经历以及他对纽约城市印象的转变。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“From movies and media, I conceived (构想) the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud.(从电影和媒体中，我曾构想这座城市会繁忙而破败，人们会粗鲁且喧闹)”可知，在去纽约之前，作者认为这座城市很乱。故选B。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded, dark, and dirty, the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong, for the first time.(我们登上了顶层，尽管我之前认为这座城市拥挤、昏暗且肮脏，但从上方看到的所有建筑的景色却是如此令人惊叹，让我第一次意识到自己错了)”可知，从帝国大厦顶部所看到的景色让作者改变了对纽约市的看法。故选A。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, this was soon invalidated (证明……错误) when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading, having picnics, and simply enjoying their day.(然而，当我们在布莱恩特公园经过时，我看到很多人在阅读、野餐，只是享受他们的日子，这很快就证明了我的观点是错误的)”可知，当作者经过布莱恩特公园时，他感到惊讶。故选C。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The following day, we traveled to Times Square. To my surprise, most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows, which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange.(第二天，我们前往了时代广场。令我惊讶的是，那里大多数人都在售卖带有童年卡通形象以及来自不同电影和电视节目的角色的相框，这些东西我以前从未见过，觉得有点奇怪)”可知，大多数人都是当地人在售卖带有角色图案的照片。故选B。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes (刻板印象) and the opinions of others; I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions.(我之前对纽约市的了解仅仅基于一些刻板印象以及他人的看法；而现在我明白了，我应该根据自己的亲身经历来做出判断，而不能随意妄下结论)”可知，作者从这次旅行中学到了眼见为实的道理。故选A。 C Average age is rising around the world — a demographic (人口统计) change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change. Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany, have found that energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier. An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests. They combined two decades, worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, children’s energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home. Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s, before briefly dropping after 55, and then beginning to climb again. The study involved factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person’s home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan (寿命) seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age. Why does demand grow so much in our 30s? “We need more of everything. More space, a bigger TV two fridges,” says Estiri. The study found that, in warmer parts of the US, energy use increases in people over the age of 65 — probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning, This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse. Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions (排放), and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free. “This confluence (汇集) of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thin king about,” says Estiri. Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex, UK, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modelling of climate change mitigation (减缓气候变化的模型) assumes people’s energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time. “This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy,” says Sovacool. Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter, UK, says the research could have an important influence on policy makers. “What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy,” she says. 46. By saying “not just because we tend to get wealthier” in Paragraph 2, the writer probably means that _______. A. poor people can’t bring down the high demand for energy B. a comfortable life is not the main cause of increased energy use C. there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumption D. people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption 47. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph3? A. Children consumes more energy when they leave home. B. Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55. C. The researchers built a model to study the data from US households. D. Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages. 48. Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support? A. Energy will stop increasing when people get older. B. His research could inspire policymakers to change current policies. C. Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered. D. Old people should use fossil, fuel-free rather than electrical energy to keep cool. 49. What is the shortcoming of most modeling of climate change mitigation? A. It is expensive and difficult to promote. B. It overestimates the household energy consumption. C. It did not take climate change adaptation into account. D. It regards energy consumption as stable or as only slightly changing. 50. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. More emphasis should be put on people’s energy use. B. The government can’t do much without the support of the study. C. It is the buildings, not the people in side, that consume the majority of the energy. D. Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people’s energy use. 【答案】46. C 47. D 48. C 49. D 50. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍全球人口老龄化对能源消耗的影响及相关研究发现，探讨其与气候变化的关联。 【46题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany, have found that energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier. An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests.(哈佛大学的侯赛因·埃斯蒂里和德国马克斯·普朗克人口研究学院的埃米利奥·扎格尼发现，能源使用量随着年龄增长而增加，而这不仅仅是因为我们往往会变得更富有。他们的研究表明，人口老龄化可能意味着社会中能源使用量较高的人群比例更大。)”可知，能源使用量随着年龄增长而增加，人口老龄化可能意味着社会中能源使用量较高的人群比例更大，此处强调能源消耗增加不仅归因于财富增长，还有其他因素如年龄变化，由此可知，“not just because we tend to get wealthier”意味着除财富之外还有其他因素导致能源消耗增加。故选C项。 【47题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age.(我们生命周期中各个阶段的能源使用量增加，似乎是生活方式和需求随年龄变化的结果。)”并结合上文内容可知，第三段旨在说明能源消耗随不同年龄的生活方式和需求变化而波动。故选D项。 【48题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The study involved factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person’s home.(该研究涉及收入、当地气候以及个人住房的年龄、类型和面积等因素。)”及第六段中的“This confluence of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thinking about,” says Estiri.(埃斯蒂里说：“人口、老龄化和气候变化对能源需求的共同影响确实需要开始思考。”)”可知，埃斯蒂里认为影响能源消耗的各种因素（如人口结构、气候等）需综合考虑。故选C项。 【49题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Most modelling of climate change mitigation assumes people’s energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time.(大多数减缓气候变化的模型假设人们的能源消耗要么保持不变，要么随时间仅发生少量变化。)”可知，大多数气候变化缓解模型的缺点是认为能源消耗是稳定的或只是轻微的变化。故选D项。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter, UK, says the research could have an important influence on policy makers. “What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy,” she says. (英国埃克塞特大学的凯瑟琳·米切尔表示，这项研究可能会对政策制定者产生重要影响。她说：“论文指出，关于建筑物如何使用能源的研究很多，但关于居住者如何使用能源的研究可能不够。”)”可知，最后一段强调应更多关注“人”的能源使用情况。故选A项。 D When people learn to play video games, they are learning a new literacy. Of course, this is not the way the word “literacy” is normally used. Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write. Why, then, should we think of literacy more broadly? Nowadays, language is not the only important communication system. Images, graphs, diagrams and many other visual symbols are particularly significant. Thus, the idea of different types of “visual literacy” would seem to be an important one. For example, being able to read the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy. Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed in a variety of ways. In newspapers and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and more of the space alongside words. In fact, in many modern high school and college textbooks, images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text. If you can’t read these images, you will not be able to understand their meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past. Now there are different ways to read different types of texts. Literacy is multiple, then, in the sense that the legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for reading physics texts or cartoon books. And we should not be too quick to dismiss the latter form of literacy. Many cartoon books are full of images that would make a modern literary critic’s heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult. Once we see this multiplicity of literacy, we realize that when we think about reading and writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any field, whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays or cartoon books, are not the only ways of decoding (解密) print. Video games are a new form of art. They will not replace books; they will sit beside them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as, indeed, they are already doing strongly with movies. We have no idea yet how people “read” video games, what meanings they make from them. Still less do we know how they will “read” them in the future. 51. What is the broad meaning of literacy? A. The ability to read, write and view. B. The ability to read, listen and play. C. The ability to speak, write and think. D. The ability to listen, speak and think. 52. What does the underlined word “juxtaposed” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Put together. B. Pulled out. C. Taken away. D. Replaced with. 53. How would cartoon books probably make a modern literary critic feel? A. Proud. B. Upset. C. Grateful. D. Curious. 54. The author says that video games ________. A. are too violent to risk experimenting with for the purposes of understanding literacy B. are unrealistic and should not fall into the same categories as the other texts he describes C. are not yet entirely understood in terms of literacy, but are already impacting other forms of expression such as filmmaking D. are irrelevant in academic discussion because no one has yet determined how to explain the ways that people understand them 55. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Advertisement. D. Traveling. 【答案】51. A 52. A 53. B 54. C 55. A 【解析】 【导语】文章打破了“读写能力”的传统定义，提出应当从更广义的角度定义读写能力，指出除了传统的文字读写能力外，解读图像、电子游戏等新形式内容的能力，也属于广义读写能力的范畴。 【51题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write. (传统上，人们认为读写能力就是读和写的能力。)”，第二段“Nowadays, language is not the only important communication system. Images, graphs, diagrams and many other visual symbols are particularly significant. Thus, the idea of different types of “visual literacy” would seem to be an important one. (如今，语言并非唯一重要的交流体系，图像、图表和诸多其他视觉符号都十分重要，因此不同类型的“视觉读写能力”是十分重要的概念。)”可知，广义的读写能力包含读写能力，还包含识别视觉内容的能力，即读、写、看的能力。 【52题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的“In newspapers and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and more of the space alongside words. (在报纸、杂志和教科书中，图片在文字旁边占据了越来越多的版面。)”可知，如今文字和各类图像常常被并置放在一起，划线词含义为“放在一起”。 【53题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Many cartoon books are full of images that would make a modern literary critic’s heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult.(许多漫画书充满图像，这会让现代文学批评家心跳加速，还会让原本正常的成年人感到困惑。)”可知，漫画书会让文学批评家感到困惑不安，即upset。 【54题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“They will not replace books; they will sit beside them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as, indeed, they are already doing strongly with movies. We have no idea yet how people “read” video games, what meanings they make from them. (电子游戏不会取代书籍，它们会和书籍共存、相互影响，以多种方式改变书籍和书籍在社会中的角色，事实上它们已经对电影产生了很大影响；我们目前还不清楚人们如何“解读”电子游戏，能从中获得什么意义。)”可知，电子游戏在读写素养层面还未被完全理解，但已经影响了电影这类其他表达形式。 【55题详解】 推理判断题。本文围绕广义的读写素养展开讨论，内容与教育领域相关，因此最可能出现在杂志的教育版块。 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 五、阅读表达。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 What I love most about travelling isn’t seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected. In Yellowknife, it was the bright aurora (极光). In Japan, it was 3,000 cherry trees. To get to them, we had to travel great distances and time our trips just right. All of them were better because we saw them together. When I tell people how much I like to travel with my mom, they often feel surprised. We expect parents to show their children the world. When children become older, things are different. Many of them prefer travelling with friends. They no longer have to see the world through their parents. When I was a little girl, my mother was my teacher. She is responsible for everything that makes me a good person. She’s kind and patient but she has little time to relax. So at 23, I booked two tickets to Yellowknife. We would explore the world as friends; I could help my mother to see the world, on her own terms. Our trips are not without hard times. We’ve gotten on the wrong train, encountered wild animals, and even lost our passports. My mom often stayed cooler than I did. I have never regretted any of the trips with my mother. Before our trips, I had no idea how much my mom loved the mountains. Most of all, I never knew I could love her as a friend. 56. What does the author love most about travelling? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 57. How do you understand the underlined part in paragraph 3? (no more than 5 words) ________________________________________________________________ 58. How did the author’s mom act when they came to hard times during the trips? (no more than 10 words) ________________________________________________________________ 59. What was the most important thing the author realized after the trips? (no more than 10words) ________________________________________________________________ 60. What kind of people do you like to travel with? Please explain. (no more than 25words) ________________________________________________________________ 【答案】56. Watching her mom gasp at something beautiful and unexpected. 57. In her own way. / According to her own preferences. 58. She often stayed cooler than the author did. 59. That she could love her mother as a friend. 60. I like to travel with people who are curious and open-minded. Because their enthusiasm for exploring can make our trip wonderful. 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章主要讲述作者喜欢和妈妈一起旅行，在旅行中感受妈妈对美好事物的惊叹，回忆旅行中的经历及旅行带来的收获。 【56题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第一段“What I love most about travelling isn’t seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected.(我最喜欢旅行的地方不是看著名的地标或吃美食。而是看到我妈妈对一些美丽而意想不到的事物倒抽气)” 可知作者最喜欢旅行中看到妈妈对美好且意想不到的事物倒抽气这一情景。故填 Watching her mom gasp at something beautiful and unexpected. 【57题详解】 考查词句猜测。根据第三段“So at 23, I booked two tickets to Yellowknife. We would explore the world as friends; I could help my mother to see the world, on her own terms.(所以在 23 岁的时候，我订了两张去耶洛奈夫的票。我们将像朋友一样探索世界；我可以帮助我的母亲，on her own terms方式去看世界)” 可知,作者帮助母亲按照她自己的方式或根据她自己的喜好看待世界。“on her own terms” 意思是按照她自己的方式或根据她自己的喜好。故填 In her own way. / According to her own preferences. 【58题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Our trips are not without hard times. My mom often stayed cooler than I did.(我们的旅行并非一帆风顺。我妈妈常常比我更冷静)” 可知,当旅行中遇到困难时，作者妈妈比作者更冷静。故填 She often stayed cooler than the author did. 【59题详解】 考查细节理解。根据第四段“Most of all, I never knew I could love her as a friend.(最重要的是，我从不知道我可以像爱朋友一样爱她)” 可知旅行后作者意识到的最重要的事是她可以像爱朋友一样爱她的妈妈。故填 That she could love her mother as a friend. 【60题详解】 考查开放性试题。答案需结合自身想法，此答案以喜欢和好奇且思想开放的人旅行为例，原因是他们探索的热情能让旅行很棒。参考答案给出的理由合理即可。 故填 I like to travel with people who are curious and open - minded. Because their enthusiasm for exploring can make our trip wonderful. 六、书面表达：（共1题，满分25分） 61. 请你写一篇文章以“AI: The Best or the Worst Thing to Humanity（人类）”为题，解读斯蒂芬·霍金关于人工智能言论，并表达你对AI的观点。字数不少于100。 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 AI: The Best or the Worst Thing to Humanity As is put forward by Stephen Hawking, AI will be either the best, or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity. This opinion perfectly summarizes the two-sided nature of artificial intelligence. AI is indeed a remarkable achievement of human science and technology. It improves work efficiency greatly, helps us with medical research, space exploration and simplifies our daily life, bringing huge convenience to human society. However, AI can also become a real threat if it is developed without proper rules. It may replace human workers in many fields, and super intelligent AI out of human control could even threaten human’s survival in the worst case. From my point of view, AI itself is neither good nor bad. The result depends on how we humans use it. As long as we guide AI development with reasonable rules, AI will become the best gift for humanity instead of a disaster. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于图画作文，要求考生写一篇以“AI: The Best or the Worst Thing to Humanity（人类）”为题的文章，解读斯蒂芬·霍金关于人工智能言论，并表达对AI的观点。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 提出：put forward → bring forward 总结：summarize → sum up 卓越的：remarkable → excellent 改善，提高：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 合并简单句 原句：AI is indeed a remarkable achievement of human science and technology.

From movies and media, I conceived (构想) the idea that the city would be busy and run-down and that the people would be rude and loud. That all changed, however, when my family and I went on a road trip there in July of 2016. When we reached New York, we walked around the city, looking at the amazing buildings, the wonderful museums, and the restaurants lining the streets. Later that day, we decided to join in a tour of the Empire State Building. Standing just outside, I felt like a little ant looking up at the 1,250-1,454-foot building. We went to the top and though I had a preconceived idea that the city was crowded, dark, and dirty, the view from above all the buildings was breath-taking and made me realize I was wrong, for the first time. Afterward, we visited Grand Central Terminal and I was able to see people run around and go about their day, which proved one of my beliefs that New Yorkers are always busy. However, this was soon invalidated (证明……错误) when we passed Bryant Park and I saw so many people reading, having picnics, and simply enjoying their day. The following day, we traveled to Times Square. To my surprise, most of the people there seemed to be locals selling photos with childhood cartoons and characters from different movies and television shows, which I had never seen before and thought was somewhat strange. After three days, our trip sadly came to an end. Despite being on opposite ends of the East Coast, I noticed that Marietta and New York City had many similarities within their communities. What I knew about New York City was based on stereotypes (刻板印象) and the opinions of others; I now know I should make my judgments with my personal experiences instead of making assumptions. 41.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. C Average age is rising around the world — a demographic (人口统计) change that may pose a significant challenge to efforts to slow down climate change. Hossein Estiri at Harvard University and Emilio Zagheni of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Germany, have found that energy use increases as we get older, and not just because we tend to get wealthier. An ageing population could mean a greater proportion of society with higher energy use, their study suggests. They combined two decades, worth of data from thousands of US households and used this to build a model to reveal how energy use varied across 17 age groups between 1987 and 2009. They found that, on average, children’s energy consumption climbs as they grow up, before dipping slightly when they leave home. Consumption then rises again when people hit their 30s, before briefly dropping after 55, and then beginning to climb again. The study involved factors such as income, local climate and the age, type and size of a person’s home. The increase in energy use at various points in our lifespan (寿命) seems to be the result of life style and how our needs change as we age. Why does demand grow so much in our 30s? “We need more of everything. More space, a bigger TV two fridges,” says Estiri. The study found that, in warmer parts of the US, energy use increases in people over the age of 65 — probably as a result of increased use of air conditioning, This suggests that there is a feedback effect between climate change and an ageing population that will only make matters worse. Heat waves have become more common in the US in recent years and are expected to become more frequent due to global warming. More older people using more electrical energy to keep cool as temperatures rise could add to emissions (排放), and thus drive more warming until our energy supply becomes entirely fossil fuel-free. “This confluence (汇集) of population, ageing and climate change on energy demand is really important to start thin king about,” says Estiri. Benjamin Sovacool at the University of Sussex, UK, says the work shows the importance of demographics when it comes to cutting carbon emissions. Most modelling of climate change mitigation (减缓气候变化的模型) assumes people’s energy consumption either stays the same or only changes by a small amount over time. “This study directly challenges that entire body of research by forcing it to fight with the temporality and complexity of the consumption of energy,” says Sovacool. Catherine Mitchell at the University of Exeter, UK, says the research could have an important influence on policy makers. “What the paper says is that there is a lot of work about how buildings use energy, but probably not enough about how the people in them use energy,” she says. 46. By saying “not just because we tend to get wealthier” in Paragraph 2, the writer probably means that _______. A. poor people can’t bring down the high demand for energy B. a comfortable life is not the main cause of increased energy use C. there are some other reasons leading to the increase in energy consumption D. people being wealthy or not has nothing to do with the rise of energy consumption 47. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph3? A. Children consumes more energy when they leave home. B. Energy consumption drops briefly before people hit 55. C. The researchers built a model to study the data from US households. D. Energy consumption varies with the change of lifestyle and demand at different ages. 48. Which of the following statements is Hossein Estiri most likely to support? A. Energy will stop increasing when people get older. B. His research could inspire policymakers to change current policies. C. Various factors influencing energy consumption should be considered. D. Old people should use fossil, fuel-free rather than electrical energy to keep cool. 49. What is the shortcoming of most modeling of climate change mitigation? A. It is expensive and difficult to promote. B. It overestimates the household energy consumption. C. It did not take climate change adaptation into account. D. It regards energy consumption as stable or as only slightly changing. 50. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. More emphasis should be put on people’s energy use. B. The government can’t do much without the support of the study. C. It is the buildings, not the people in side, that consume the majority of the energy. D. Policymakers have been working on how to cut down people’s energy use. D When people learn to play video games, they are learning a new literacy. Of course, this is not the way the word “literacy” is normally used. Traditionally, people think of literacy as the ability to read and write. Why, then, should we think of literacy more broadly? Nowadays, language is not the only important communication system. Images, graphs, diagrams and many other visual symbols are particularly significant. Thus, the idea of different types of “visual literacy” would seem to be an important one. For example, being able to read the images in advertising is one type of visual literacy. Furthermore, very often today words and images of various sorts are juxtaposed in a variety of ways. In newspapers and magazines as well as in textbooks, images take up more and more of the space alongside words. In fact, in many modern high school and college textbooks, images not only take up more space, they now carry meanings that are independent of the words in the text. If you can’t read these images, you will not be able to understand their meanings from the words in the text as was more usual in the past. Now there are different ways to read different types of texts. Literacy is multiple, then, in the sense that the legal literacy needed for reading law books is not the same as the literacy needed for reading physics texts or cartoon books. And we should not be too quick to dismiss the latter form of literacy. Many cartoon books are full of images that would make a modern literary critic’s heart beat fast and confuse any otherwise normal adult. Once we see this multiplicity of literacy, we realize that when we think about reading and writing, we have to think beyond print. Reading and writing in any field, whether it is law, rap songs, academic essays or cartoon books, are not the only ways of decoding (解密) print. Video games are a new form of art. They will not replace books; they will sit beside them, interact with them, and change them and their role in society in various ways, as, indeed, they are already doing strongly with movies. We have no idea yet how people “read” video games, what meanings they make from them. Still less do we know how they will “read” them in the future. 51. What is the broad meaning of literacy? A. The ability to read, write and view. B. The ability to read, listen and play. C. The ability to speak, write and think. D. The ability to listen, speak and think. 52. What does the underlined word “juxtaposed” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Put together. B. Pulled out. C. Taken away. D. Replaced with. 53. How would cartoon books probably make a modern literary critic feel? A. Proud. B. Upset. C. Grateful. D. Curious. 54. The author says that video games ________. A. are too violent to risk experimenting with for the purposes of understanding literacy B. are unrealistic and should not fall into the same categories as the other texts he describes C. are not yet entirely understood in terms of literacy, but are already impacting other forms of expression such as filmmaking D. are irrelevant in academic discussion because no one has yet determined how to explain the ways that people understand them 55. In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Education. B. Health. C. Advertisement. D. Traveling. 第Ⅱ卷（满分35分） 五、阅读表达。（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读表达 What I love most about travelling isn’t seeing the famous landmarks or eating great food. It’s watching my mom gasp (倒抽气) at something beautiful and unexpected. In Yellowknife, it was the bright aurora (极光). In Japan, it was 3,000 cherry trees. To get to them, we had to travel great distances and time our trips just right. All of them were better because we saw them together. When I tell people how much I like to travel with my mom, they often feel surprised. We expect parents to show their children the world. When children become older, things are different. Many of them prefer travelling with friends. They no longer have to see the world through their parents. When I was a little girl, my mother was my teacher. She is responsible for everything that makes me a good person. She’s kind and patient but she has little time to relax. So at 23, I booked two tickets to Yellowknife. We would explore the world as friends; I could help my mother to see the world, on her own terms. Our trips are not without hard times. We’ve gotten on the wrong train, encountered wild animals, and even lost our passports. My mom often stayed cooler than I did. I have never regretted any of the trips with my mother. Before our trips, I had no idea how much my mom loved the mountains. Most of all, I never knew I could love her as a friend. 56. What does the author love most about travelling?
