The topic for the meeting was “A Creative Future”. Ai-Da paints using cameras in her eyes and robotic arms. She “thinks” and answers questions using AI algorithms (算法). She has painted the UK queen and had her work presented in galleries (画廊). Describing herself, AI-Da told people at the meeting that “I am a robot and I depend on computer programs and algorithms” and “although not alive, I can still create art”. Amusingly, at the meeting, AI-Da “slept” —it shut down and had to be restarted. But her ability to answer questions in real time shows the huge developments of AI. These are developments that will continue. One person who seems interested in this is Elon Musk. He is planning on creating his own Al robots for his company, Tesla. Musk presented Tesla’s human-like robot, named Optimus, at Tesla’s AI Day on Sept 30. Tesla showed videos of their robot doing simple tasks like carrying boxes, watering plants and sweeping the floor, said CNN. With robots becoming more and more part of our daily lives, we may have to learn to live with them. But will people be happy to have these robotic friends or will they feel threatened (受到威胁的) by them? As AI-Da said, “Technology can be both a threat and a chance.” 44.

People will live a much sadder life with robots. 【答案】44. B 45. C 46. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了人形机器人艺术家AI-Da在英国参加主题为“创意未来”的会议的相关情况，说明了AI-Da的创作能力，同时提及特斯拉公司的人形机器人Optimus的功能，探讨了机器人发展带来的机遇与威胁。 【44题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“The topic for the meeting was “A Creative Future”.”可知，此次英国会议的主题是“创意未来”。 【45题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Tesla showed videos of their robot doing simple tasks like carrying boxes, watering plants and sweeping the floor, said CNN.”可知，特斯拉的机器人可完成搬箱子、浇植物、扫地这类简单任务，不具备创造艺术的能力。 【46题详解】 观点态度题。根据文章第5段“As AI-Da said, “Technology can be both a threat and a chance.””可知，作者认为机器人相关的科技既带来机遇也存在威胁。 C You can put a stamp on it, you can write an address on it, and you can send it through the mail. No, it’s not a package (包裹). It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 47. Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A. Stamps can be put on it. B. People send it in a package. C. Every part of it is useful. D. Addresses can be written on it. 48. What does the underlined word “power” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Make room for. B. Add value to. C. Put weight on. D. Provide energy for. 49. In which part of the magazine could we read the passage? A. Amazing Nature B. History World. C. Sports News. D. Story Time. 50. What’s the main purpose of the passage? A. To advise people to protect coconuts. B. To show the value and uses of coconuts. C. To ask people to grow more coconuts. D. To introduce a fuel made from coconuts. 【答案】47. C 48. D 49. A 50. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了椰子的多种用途，包括作为清洁能源、改善土壤保水、替代塑料、作为天然包装邮寄，以及椰子易种植、产量大的特点。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段第四句“The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful.”指出，椰子与大多数其他水果不同，因为它每一部分都有用。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。文章第二段最后两句“Coconut oil has already been made into fuel. It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more.”指出，椰子油已被制成燃料，它可以为汽车、卡车、轮船等提供动力。power意为“为……提供动力”，与provide energy for意思最接近。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。文章介绍了椰子作为能源、改善土壤、替代塑料、天然包装以及生长特点等自然属性和用途，属于自然科普类内容，最可能出现在杂志的“Amazing Nature”（神奇自然）栏目。 【50题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段第四、五、六句“The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them.”点明主题，指出椰子每一部分都有用，人们以多种方式使用椰子；第二段介绍椰子可作清洁能源；第三段介绍椰壳可保水、替代塑料；第四段介绍椰壳是天然包装；第五段介绍椰子易种植、产量大。因此文章的主要目的是展示椰子的价值和用途。B选项“To show the value and uses of coconuts”最能概括全文主旨。故选B。 D A Bright Idea Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 51. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having a bright idea. D. Having eye problems. 52. How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2? A. 6. B. 5. C. 3. D. 4. 53. What is the correct order of the following information according to the passage? a. Evans went to a university. b. Thousands of people had safe light. c. His first solar lamp was invented. d. Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. e. Recycled materials were used in the lamps. A. d-b-a-e-c B. d-a-c-e-b C. a-d-e-c-b D. a-e-c-d-b 54. Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5? A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To describe Evans’ feelings. C. To show Evans’ influence. D. To introduce Evans’ invention. 55. What is Evans like according to the passage? A. Hard-working, loving and creative. B. Quiet, smart and honest. C.

B On Oct 11, robot history was made when AI-Da, a human-like robot artist, talked at a meeting in the UK. The topic for the meeting was “A Creative Future”. Ai-Da paints using cameras in her eyes and robotic arms. She “thinks” and answers questions using AI algorithms (算法). She has painted the UK queen and had her work presented in galleries (画廊). Describing herself, AI-Da told people at the meeting that “I am a robot and I depend on computer programs and algorithms” and “although not alive, I can still create art”. Amusingly, at the meeting, AI-Da “slept” —it shut down and had to be restarted. But her ability to answer questions in real time shows the huge developments of AI. These are developments that will continue. One person who seems interested in this is Elon Musk. He is planning on creating his own Al robots for his company, Tesla. Musk presented Tesla’s human-like robot, named Optimus, at Tesla’s AI Day on Sept 30.

It’s the amazing coconut (椰子)! The coconut is different from most other fruits because every part of it is useful. People have been using coconuts in many different ways. Here are some of them. One exciting use of the coconut is as a kind of energy. Scientists are working on using coconuts for energy because they are cheap and clean. Coconut oil has already been made into fuel (燃料). It can power cars, trucks, ships and many more. Students at Baylor University find that coconut husks (外壳) can take in water very well. So mixing coconut husks with dry soil (土壤) helps the soil to hold onto more of the water. The students also find that coconut husks can take the place of plastic in some cases. If this is possible, it will help people use less plastic. The husk of the coconut is a perfect package. It protects the coconut from harm. That’s why some countries allow people to send the coconut without any packaging. Each year, tourists post about 3,000 of these “coconut postcards”. Coconuts grow naturally in over 80 countries of the world. They require only sun and proper rain. No special care is needed. Every year, more than 61 million tons of coconuts are produced. It is not surprising, then, that people want to find so many uses for the coconut. 47. Why is the coconut different from most other fruits? A. Stamps can be put on it. B. People send it in a package.

D A Bright Idea Evans Wadongo was from a village of Africa. He had to do homework by the light of a kerosene lamp (煤油灯). Evans’ eyes hurt and this made studying difficult. It was common in his village. Many children left school for this reason, so they remained poor for the rest of their lives. Although studying was difficult, Evans was an excellent student and went to a university. He continued to worry about the kerosene lamp. By this time, he realized it was not just bad for schoolchildren but for the whole family. First, it can cause illnesses such as coughs. Also, the light can hurt people’s eyes. Besides, it can lead to fires. Lastly, kerosene is expensive, so families have less money for food. It was difficult to come up with a different kind of lamp that was cheap and good for the environment. Yet Evans did not give up. One day, he had an idea. He could use a small solar (太阳能的) light. Sunlight is free and solar power is good for the environment. Evans built his first solar lamp, and it worked. He began to build more lamps and sent them to local families. An organization heard about this and provided money for him to build more solar lamps. Each lamp only cost $20. However, this was a lot of money to many villagers, who only earned around $34 a week, so Evans made sure he kept the cost down. First, Evans used recycled materials. Next, volunteers built the lamps. Finally, people from many countries gave away money to his team, so the lamps were usually free. Thousands of people had safe light. Julia, a mother of three, said, “Thanks to Evans, my children have light to read, and I have my own light to cook.” The solar lamps made a big difference. 51. What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Leaving school. B. Doing homework. C. Having a bright idea. D. Having eye problems. 52. How many problems about kerosene lamps are mentioned according to Paragraph 2? A. 6. B. 5. C. 3. D. 4. 53. What is the correct order of the following information according to the passage? a. Evans went to a university. b. Thousands of people had safe light. c. His first solar lamp was invented. d. Kerosene lamps hurt Evans’ eyes. e. Recycled materials were used in the lamps. A. d-b-a-e-c B. d-a-c-e-b C. a-d-e-c-b D. a-e-c-d-b 54. Why does the writer give Julia’s example in Paragraph 5? A. To share Julia’s experience. B. To describe Evans’ feelings. C. To show Evans’ influence. D. To introduce Evans’ invention. 55. What is Evans like according to the passage? A. Hard-working, loving and creative. B. Quiet, smart and honest. C. Humorous, clever and friendly. D. Polite, talented and humorous. （二） 阅读下列短文，从所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺，结构完整。其中有一项是多余的。 What does it feel like to experience test worry?
