第二部分阅读理解
第一节(共4小题,每小题2.5分,共10分)
Jeff Bezos,the world's wealthiest person,was just five when American astronauts
stepped on the surface of the moon on July 20,1969.However,he's never forgotten the
black-and-white footage from the historic moment.Since then,the moon has always been
the center of his space dreams which are channeled through his spaceflight company,Blue
Origin.
14
On May 9,2019,at a meeting held in Washington,D.C.,Bezos came one step closer to
achieving his dream of sending people there,when he presented a model of a lander,Blue
Moon,designed to carry both humans and goods to the satellite.
Though details of how Blue Moon will be sent to space remain unclear,Bezos is
confident it'll be ready for its mission (by 2024.He considers it unavoidable to settle
in space given our ever-increasing population and fewer resources.Unlike those seeking a
home on another planet,Bezos thinks humans will be living in orbital space settlements,
which are similar to the International Space Station,except much bigger,each housing
millions of people.Space taxis would make it easy for humans to travel between
settlements.
But first we need to develop a cheaper way to travel between space and Earth.Bezos
may have solved the problem partly by removing the biggest cost of spaceflights-single
use rockets-with Blue Origin's reusable New Shepard rocket,which has made several
trips to space and back since 2015.
To encourage future space dreamers,the company's recently built a free online club
that will keep members informed of its progress and challenge them to find solutions to
help humans and save earth.It invites students of all ages to draw or write how they
imagine humans living and working in space on a self-addressed,stamped postcard and send
it to the "Club for the Future"by July 20.The first 10,000 postcards will be sent to space
aboard the New Shepard rocket later this year.When it returns to Earth,the postcards,
stamped "flown to space",will be returned to their owners.
1.What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?
A.An impressive historic moment.
B.The beginning of Bezos'space dream.
C.The exciting news of sending man to space.
D.Bezos'secret of becoming the wealthiest person.
2.What will be orbital space settlements like in Bezos'eyes?
A.Overpopulated.
B.Solar-powered.
C.Energy-hungry.
D.Conveniently accessible.
3.What may contribute greatly to the low cost of travelling to space?
A.Space taxis.
B.Single use rockets.
C.New Shepard rocket.
D.Orbital space settlements.
15
4.What's the purpose of the free online club?
A.To help humans and save earth.
B.To challenge students of all ages.
C.To build a new way of sending postcards
D.To encourage future space dreamers.
第二节阅读七选五(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
I don't believe Artificial Intelligence (AI)could replace my teaching career.I have
always been interested in human connection,and the ways in which I can use these
connections to inspire change and make a difference.1,there are other ways where AI
could make a more efficient and effective difference than I could on my own.
My teaching experiences over the past several years have been creative and inspiring.I
believe that the job of educators extends beyond simply teaching students a set curriculum.
2 they must constantly reflect on ways to better their teaching,and they must inspire
their students to be the best versions of themselves.And now with the help of Al,they
could achieve these goals much easier.
3.First,AI can be used to promote fundamental skills,such as mathematical
education and vocabulary lessons.Additionally,I see AI being used for such necessary tasks
as answering questions and grading assignments.Thus I could focus my attention to
establishing human connection,individualizing lesson plans and inspiring my students.
4.I believe AI could provide a strong basis for educational equality around the
world.According to Todd Leopold,close to 800 million people worldwide are functionally
illiterate(不识字的).Due to its ability to efficiently pass knowledge across large groups of
people fewer teachers may be needed in some schools.5.
A.Since students will always need a human teacher
B.The benefit AI brings is far beyond my own classroom
C.I think AI is a powerful assistant to my future classroom
D.The need for students to learn how to use Al will also grow
E.Although human connection may never be able to be fully replaced by AI
F.This could be an opportunity for students everywhere to receive equal education
G.They must observe and get to know their students in order to individualize educational plans

参考范文:
Paragraph 1:
Miss Parson rushed us into her house."It's
cold out here,"she said.My sister's face was
shining from the rain and Miss Parson dried her
cheeks.“Thank you,”Kate said..“Trick or
treat??”
“Oh,right!Treats,”said Miss Parson in
surprise.Then she disappeared for a moment
and came back with a big smile on her face.
“Open those bags wide,”she said..She dropped
two boxes of tea into our bags."Winter is just
around the corner,”she said.“A cup of hot tea
will keep you warm.”
“Thank you,”we both said.“Happy Halloween!""
Paragraph 2:
The next morning,a hot and sweet discussion
about Miss Parson and Halloween spread among
us kids.We told Mom about how Miss Parson
had forgotten Halloween and about what she
had given to us and the other kids."It sounds as
if nobody was very upset,even though she
forgot Halloween,”said Mom.“No,we were
happy,”I said.“Although she didn't give us
candy,it was kind of fun for us all to get
something different for a change.I hope it will
become a Halloween tradition to give out
unusual treats.”

世界首富杰夫·贝佐斯及他送人去太空的梦
想,他希望能开发一种便宜的方式在太空和地
球之间旅行并鼓励未来梦想家帮助人类和拯救
地球的故事。
1.B[段落大意题。第一段主要讲杰夫·贝佐
斯自从观看了1969年7月20日美国宇航员
登上月球表面的黑白录像起,月球就成为他
太空梦想的中心。这也是他太空梦想的开
始,故选B。]
2.D[细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Bezos
thinks humans will be living in orbital space
settlements ..Space taxis would make it easy
for humans to travel between settlements.”贝
佐斯认为,人类将生活在轨道空间定居点,这
与国际空间站相似,除了空间大,每座都能容
纳数百万人。太空计程车将使人类更容易在
定居点之间旅行。可知贝佐斯认为生活在轨
道空间定居点更方便,故选D。」]
3.C[细节理解题。根据第四段可知。贝佐斯
公司已经解决这个成本问题,使用蓝色起源
公司的可重复使用的New Shepard rocket可
以消除最大的成本。故选C。]
4.D[细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知
其目的是为了鼓励未来的太空梦想家。故
选D。]
第二节
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。作者认为在教
育领域虽然人工智能不能完全取代老师,但是
能帮助老师们提升教学效果。本文从课内课外
两方面举例说明了人工智能的优势。
1.E[根据空后内容可知,与自己单独工作相
比,人工智能也有一些方面能产生更快更有
效的不同。从“other ways(其他一些方面)”
可知上文已经提到跟它形成对比的另一方
面,设空处应该表达的是一个转折让步关系。
选项E中的although可表达让步关系,且选
项E中的human connection又与空前一句语
意连贯。故选E。]
2.G[空格后是两个并列的简单句并且都是
they must开头,and前还有一个逗号,由此可
知空格处应该也是一个相似结构的简单句。
选项G也是they must开头的简单句。故
选G。]
3.C[由第二段最后一句可知,下文要论述的是
人工智能如何帮助老师更容易地达到教学目
标。再由第三段中的“promote fundamental skills
(提升基本技能)”“necessary tasks as answering
questions and grading assignments(像答疑或批作
业这样基础性的工作)”可知,本段论述的是人
工智能在课堂内可以带来的好处和效果。选
项C中的“a powerful assistant to my future
classroom(未来课堂上的得力助手)”符合语
境。故选C。]
4.B[由第三段将人工智能能在课堂内带来好
处可知,第四段将会论述人工智能能在课堂

equality around the world(全球的教育公平)”也

的“beyond my own classroom(超出了我的教室
的范围)”符合语境。故选B。]
5.F[由最后一段第二句可知本段谈论的中心
是课堂外人工智能能促进教育公平。选项F
中“receive equal education”特合语境,故
选F。]
