Numbers are important in our daily life. We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them.
Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of numerical expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”.
These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you.
33. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Numbers are easy to use. B. Numbers are useful in Maths.
C. The importance of numbers in our life. D. Different languages have different numbers.
34. If your friend won a football match and made two friends in the match, what would you say to him?
A. You killed two birds with one stone. B. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
C. You need to finish three Rs. D. Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
35. Which is NOT one of the three Rs according to the passage?
A. Reading. B. Writing. C. Reporting. D. Arithmetic.
36. What can we know from the article?
A. All the number expressions can help you solve problems.
B. Putting two and two together means adding two men’s wisdom together.
C. If someone does something bad to you, you should do the same to him.
D. The writer didn’t need to learn arithmetic when he was at school.
D
We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the forest” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its sharp teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars. We could not fight better than a lion, we invented guns.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. People thought they posed a threat to their sheep. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows, much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the wild rabbits.
Remember that we are part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! Protecting animals is protecting ourselves!
37. ________ is at the top of the food chain in the sea.
A. The shark B. The lion C. Human beings D. The dolphin
38. People’s inventions can be sometimes dangerous because ________.
A. they can kill a lot of wild wolves
B. they can destroy the food chain
C. they can destroy the grassland
D. they can make wild rabbits grow bigger and bigger
39. What does the underlined word “threat” refer to?
A. 猎物 B. 威胁 C. 同类 D. 契机
40. What’s the purpose of this passage?
A. To tell people who is at the top of the food chain.
B. To discuss why human beings invented cars and guns.
C. To show the importance of wild wolves.
D. To make us pay more attention to what we do to the animals.

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了祖父坚持诚信,拒绝用湿木材做家具,最终赢得尊重的故事。这种价值观影响了后代,强调了诚实的重要性。
【16题详解】
句意:当他年轻时,他作为一名家具制造商工作。
前文提到爷爷经常用“我不”来表达对不诚实的反感,后文也点明了他的身份是家具手艺人,这里要表达他年轻时的工作身份,work as是固定搭配,意为“从事……职业”,符合语境,故选用worked。studied“学习”、played“玩耍”、came“来”,均不符合语境。
【17题详解】
句意:到了邻居家他发现,对方提供的木材有些潮湿,于是他说:“我没法立刻开工。”
后文明确提到他选择把木材晾干一个月,可知此时木材的状态是潮湿的,故选用wet。hard“坚硬的”、light“轻便的”、soft“柔软的”,都不需要特意放置晾干,不符合后续让木材干燥的情节逻辑。
【18题详解】
句意:他知道用潮湿的木材做工,之后可能会引发问题。
结合常识,未干燥的木材制作家具后续会出现变形、开裂等各类质量问题,故选用problems。fire“火灾”、illness“疾病”、pollution“污染”,都和湿木材做家具的后果没有关联。
【19题详解】
句意:和我爷爷不同,他立刻就开始做工了。
前文提到爷爷不肯马上开工、要等木材晾干,这里用“Unlike my grandfather”形成对比,说明另一位家具匠人没有等待,直接着手开始工作,故选用began。finished“完成”、kept“保持”、stopped“停止”,都无法和爷爷的“不马上开工”形成对应对比。
【20题详解】
句意:然而,我爷爷耐心地等待着。
前文提到邻居误会爷爷故意拖延工期多赚钱,“However”表转折,说明爷爷没有被外界影响,依旧坚持等木材完全干燥,这份等待是耐心的,故选用patiently。excitedly“激动地”、sadly“难过地”、worriedly“担忧地”,都不符合爷爷笃定坚守原则的心境。
【21题详解】
句意:一个月后,另一位家具匠人拿到了他的工钱就回家了。
另一位匠人早早做完了家具,工作完成后自然是收取劳动报酬,故选用money。food“食物”、furniture“家具”、wood“木材”,都不属于匠人做完工后应得的酬劳。
【22题详解】
句意:当木材完全干透后,我爷爷开始制作结实又美观的家具。
完全干燥的木材稳定性好,做出来的家具坚固耐用,和后文另一位匠人的家具很快损坏形成反向对比,故选用strong。cheap“便宜的”、useless“无用的”、expensive“昂贵的”,都不符合爷爷追求高品质家具的设定。
【23题详解】
句意:几个月过去了,另一位匠人做的家具开始破损。
另一位匠人用未干燥的木材赶工做家具,时间久了湿木失水收缩变形,家具就会出现开裂、损坏的问题,故选用break。move“移动”、fall“跌落”、die“消亡”,都不符合劣质家具的结局。
【24题详解】
句意:这位邻居随后后悔怀疑了我爷爷,向他道歉。
邻居之前误会爷爷拖延工期是为了多赚钱,事实证明爷爷是为了做出好家具,意识到自己错怪了人之后,自然要表达歉意,故选用sorry。hello“你好”、thanks“感谢”、goodbye“再见”,都不符合误会解除后认错的场景。
【25题详解】
句意:经历了人生的起起伏伏,我们逐渐深刻领会这句俗语背后我们的家庭价值观——要真诚坦荡。
前文讲述了祖辈父辈一直践行这份诚信准则,此处表达后辈在人生阅历中慢慢吃透、领悟到家风的内核,故选用understand。follow“遵循”、explain“解释”、show“展示”,都不符合“经历世事之后逐步深刻认知”的语境。
三、阅读理解

Popular AI artist
A beautiful painting was sold for about 3, 000, 000 yuan in 2018. But it isn’t a work by a famous painter such as Vincent Van Gogh. It was painted by an AI artist. Three Frenchmen created it. The AI artist imitated (临摹) over 15, 000 works to learn to paint. Now it is one of the most popular artists in the world.
26. Xiaoice can do the following things EXCEPT ________.

【答案】26. A 27. B 28. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了无人驾驶巴士、机器人Xiaoice、AI主播及AI画家四种人工智能产品,说明AI让生活更轻松美好。
【26题详解】
原文中“Your close friend”部分明确提到“If you feel lonely, you can talk with it. It is good at singing, writing poems and telling stories. You can make friends with it!”,Xiaoice可以在你孤独时和你聊天、擅长唱歌、写诗、讲故事、还能和你交朋友,唯独没有提及它可以陪你外出玩耍,因此“going out to play with you”是Xiaoice不能做到的事。
【27题详解】
原文“Popular AI artist”部分第一句直接说明“A beautiful painting was sold for about 3, 000, 000 yuan in 2018”,可知这幅画作于2018年以约300万元的价格售出,和B选项表述完全吻合。
【28题详解】
本文围绕人工智能主题,介绍了无人驾驶巴士、机器人Xiaoice、AI主播及AI画家四款前沿人工智能产品的功能与特点,属于科普类科技内容,可能出自科学杂志。

Numbers are important in our daily life. We not only use numbers to count things, but also use them to express different meanings in our language. Here are some examples of them.
Some problems are difficult to solve, but there are a lot of numerical expressions that can help. For example, if we put two and two together, we might come up with the right answer. We know that two heads are better than one. It is always better to work with another person to solve a problem.
Sometimes we can kill two birds with one stone. That is to say, we can complete two goals (目标) with only one effort or action. But we must remember that two wrongs don’t make a right. If someone does something bad to you, you should not do the same to him.
If you are going out with your girlfriend or boyfriend, you do not want another friend to go with you. You can just say to your friend: Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
When I was a young child in school, I had to learn the three Rs. These important skills are reading, writing and arithmetic (算术). These three words do not all start with the letter “R”, but they have the sound of “R”.
These are some expressions about numbers. Hope they can be useful to you.
33. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?
A. Numbers are easy to use. B. Numbers are useful in Maths.
C. The importance of numbers in our life. D. Different languages have different numbers.

A. You killed two birds with one stone. B. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
C. You need to finish three Rs. D. Two’s company, three’s a crowd.
35. Which is NOT one of the three Rs according to the passage?
A. Reading. B. Writing. C. Reporting. D. Arithmetic.
36. What can we know from the article?
A. All the number expressions can help you solve problems.
B. Putting two and two together means adding two men’s wisdom together.
C. If someone does something bad to you, you should do the same to him.

We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the forest” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt other beasts. It is said that the lion is the highest animal in the land food chain (链). In the sea, people say the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most of the other sea animals. It can also use its sharp teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain? Human beings! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars. We could not fight better than a lion, we invented guns.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. People thought they posed a threat to their sheep. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming larger and larger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and the cows, much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the wild rabbits.
Remember that we are part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too! Protecting animals is protecting ourselves!
