At that time, many wise thinkers believed that man liberated by reason would rise to ever greater heights of achievement.The many expressions of human nature ‎ would be the engines of progress：language, business, science, and moral sensibility (情操). Unfortunately, most of those engines have failed to bring the desired human progress.‎ The modern age has belonged to material progress and its main source has been science.Science gives huge power to change the world.But can people be trusted to use it always for good？Think of biotechnology and information technology.And it is not just that scientific progress does not deliver the emotional goods.People also fear that mankind is failing to manage science properly.The forests are disappearing; the ice is melting; privacy is leaking; life is becoming a depressing march in an ugly world.‎ The point is not that science is harmful, but that scientific progress needs to be mapped tidily onto human progress.That relies on moral sensibility in its widest sense. This_liberal_force offers hope for a better future.The very idea of moral sensibility probably sounds outofdate. But researchers find that people desire a sense of moral purpose which would give life dignity (尊严). People want to determine how the world works, not always to be determined by it. Moral sensibility is why people will suffer for their beliefs, and why acts of noble selfsacrifice are so powerful.‎ It is admitted that our moral ideals will never be realized completely. But sometimes, however imperfectly, we can make progress. Human dignity requires the love of ideals for their own sake, but nothing requires that the love be returned. Human progress is neither guaranteed nor is it hopeless. Instead, it is up to us.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要谈论了道德理想在人类进步中的重要性。‎ ‎24．What do we know about human progress from Paragraph 1?‎ A．Human beings were greatly liberated by the idea of progress.‎ B．Language failed to serve as an expression of human progress.‎ C．People began to think about human progress in the 17th century.‎ D．Thinkers in the 17th century were optimistic about human progress.‎ 解析：选D　 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句可推断出，17世纪的思想家们对人类的进步是持十分乐观的态度的。故答案选D。‎ ‎25．Why does science fail to bring the desired human progress?‎ A．Proper governing is not guaranteed in the use of science.‎ B．Scientific progress does not give people dignity.‎ C．Science is misunderstood because of improper management.‎ D．The engine of progress was sensitive and unreliable.‎ 解析：选A　 推理判断题。根据第二、三段可推断出，人类在使用科学的过程中没有施以适当的管理，使得科学没有给人类带来预期的进步。故答案选A。‎ ‎26．What does the underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．Depressing life. B．Harmful science.‎ C．Human progress. D．Moral sensibility.‎ 解析：选D　词义猜测题。根据第三段第二、四句可推断，“This liberal force”指的就是上下文中所提到的“moral sensibility”，即道德情感。故答案选D。 ‎ ‎27．What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A．To emphasize the function of the idea of progress.‎ B．To express anxiety about the death of moral sensibility.‎ C．To show the importance of moral ideals in human progress.‎ D．To blame the harm of material progress to human development.‎ 解析：选C　写作意图题。纵观全文可知，文章第一段指出人类并没有像很多思想家预料的那样取得长足进步，第二、三段说明了原因，即这是因为科技的发展没有与道德情感相联系，第四段说明即使我们不能完全实现道德理想，但有了它的指导我们也能取得进步。由此可知，本文主要谈论了道德理想在人类进步中的重要性。故答案选C。‎ C In 1957, Max Vernon Mathews wrote the first computer program called Music, which enabled a computer to create sound and play it back. He was then working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey. It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeensecond piece of music he had written.‎ The computer was so slow that it took an hour to play the seventeensecond piece of music. So Mathews moved the work to a tape player to play the music at a normal speed. He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great, but the technical importance of the music was huge.‎ The sciencefiction writer Arthur C. Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s. He heard a computer “sing” the song Daisy Bell on devices (设备) and learned about the programs developed by Mathews and other engineers. Clarke noted this technology in his book 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was later made into a movie.‎ Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program. He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios. The Groove program he developed was the first computer program made for live performances.‎ He also developed an electronic device he called the Radio Baton, which looks like two drum sticks. It enables the user to control the speed and sound levels of orchestral music (管弦乐) played on a computer by moving the two sticks on a special electronic surface.‎ Mathews said he believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music. He said a violin always sounds like a violin. But with his Music, the way a violin sounds is unlimited. He did not want computer sounds to replace live music, but he hoped computers would one day be considered serious instruments.‎ 语篇解读：本文是记叙文。Max Vernon Mathews把音乐与计算机结合起来，创造了魅力无穷的计算机音乐。‎ ‎28．Why did Clarke visit Bell Laboratories?‎ A．To make his book into a movie.‎ B．To help Mathews develop Music.‎ C．To satisfy his own curiosity about music.‎ D．To gather materials for his literary creation.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第三段可知，Clarke在他的一本书里涉及了Mathews的电子音乐技术。由此可推知，Clarke主要是为文学创作获取素材才去Bell Laboratories的。‎ ‎29．What electronic music tools did Mathews create?‎ A．Something used to record live music.‎ B．Something used to create special sound.‎ C．Something used to improve computer music.‎ D．Something used to create computer music.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第五段可知，制作计算机音乐时，Radio Baton可以用来控制管弦乐的速度、声级等，能改进音乐。‎ ‎30．What does Mathews think of his Music?‎ A．It is more pleasant to the ear.‎ B．It can help make more sounds.‎ C．It will finally replace the violin.‎ D．It is more popular than live music.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，一般小提琴发出的声音就是那一种，用Mathews的Music可以让它的声音有无数种，即他的Music能帮助发出更多声音。‎ ‎31．What can we learn about Mathews?‎ A．He is the father of computer music.‎ B．His creation succeeded on the first try.‎ C．He wrote Music to replace instruments.‎ D．He changed the functions of computers.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据全文可知，是Mathews首先创造了计算机音乐，并进而发展出一系列与音乐相关的电子产品，在音乐界掀起了一场革命，故他是计算机音乐之父。‎ D ‎(2018·湖北省鄂西北联考)It happens to most firsttime fish keepers. They run to a fish store, pick out the bestlooking fish, and get all the things they need for their tanks. Then they fill up their tanks and put their fish in the water. Over the course of the next week, their fish aren't looking so good. Then all of a sudden, all of their fish start to die off.‎ Luckily, there is an explanation. Ammonia (氨) and nitrite (亚硝酸盐) are toxic to fish. You see, keeping fish in a tank produces ammonia. If a fish is placed in a new tank, the tank won't be equipped with the ability to change that ammonia into a less harmful chemical. And that's why they die.‎ To avoid the whole failure, you have to understand a little something called the Nitrogen Cycle (氮循环). After ammonia is produced in a tank, a kind of bacterium that is naturally found in water (a bacterium that consumes ammonia and produces nitrite) reproduces itself to form a large enough area to change all ammonia into nitrite. As the concentration (浓度) of nitrite increases, the same thing happens to nitrite, which happened to ammonia. A group of bacteria that change nitrite into nitrate (硝酸盐) form in large numbers. The cycle takes about one week to several months, depending on your technique. When a tank reaches a point where it can change all ammonia and nitrite being produced in a tank to nitrate before they reach harmful concentrations, it has finished the Nitrogen Cycle — it is safe for fish.‎ So before you ever place a fish into a tank from now on, use some skills to make it do that first. To do so, slightly increase ammonia concentration of your tank. If after 24 hours, your tank has no mark of ammonia or nitrite, you can ensure that it's cycled. You just need to perform a partial water change and your tank is ready for fish.‎ 语篇解读：本文是说明文。新手养鱼经常遇到这样的问题：他们刚养不久的鱼相继死去。这是因为新鱼缸没有经过氮循环，从而导致鱼中毒死亡。‎ ‎32．What can we learn from Para. 1?‎ A．It's really hard for people to keep fish well.‎ B．The author feels very sorry for those dead fish.‎ C．New fish keepers begin to raise fish in a hurry.‎ D．People have no idea how to use their tanks well.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。第一段描述了养鱼新手经常会遇到的问题：他们刚养的鱼很快就死了；由第二段的最后两句可知这是因为新买的鱼缸没有经过氮循环，从而导致鱼中毒而死；由此可推知，作者在第一段中想说明新手养鱼太仓促了。‎ ‎33．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “toxic” in Para. 2?‎ A．Open. B．Harmful.‎ C．Familiar. D．Beneficial.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。由第二段的“the tank won't be equipped with the ability to change that ammonia into a less harmful chemical”可推知，ammonia和nitrite这两种化学物质对鱼类有害。‎ ‎34．What do we know about the Nitrogen Cycle?‎ A．It makes sure of fish's safety.‎ B．It provides all the nutrition fish need.‎ C．It increases the concentration of ammonia.‎ D．It produces more chemicals to clean the tank.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。由第三段的内容尤其是最后一句“it has finished the Nitrogen Cycle — it is safe for fish”可知，新买的鱼缸经过氮循环之后，人们就可以用它来养鱼了；故选A。‎ ‎35．Which question can't be answered in the text?‎ A．What's the right way to raise fish in a new tank?‎ B．What happens during the Nitrogen Cycle?‎ C．Why are fish in a new tank likely to die?‎ D．Why is nitrate less harmful to fish?‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。文章第一段介绍了养鱼新手常遇到的问题，第二段解释了造成这种问题的原因，第三段具体介绍了氮循环的过程，最后一段介绍了用新鱼缸养鱼的正确方法；故选D。‎ 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)‎ There is an old Spanish Proverb which states, “Tomorrow is often the busiest day of the week”．__36__ I'd say, too many. Our dreams should not, and cannot wait. We have to go for them now! Here's why.‎ ‎__37__‎ Nobody likes to talk about death, but the reality is — everybody is going to die at one point. None of us know the day, or the hour. Therefore, today is all we have. Don't go to your grave with unfulfilled dreams. Make the decision to go after every dream, big or small right now.‎ The world is waiting on your gift.‎ I know this may be hard to believe, but the world is waiting on YOU! Yes, YOU! __38__ Sure, other people may be able to sing. But they'll never be able to sing exactly like you. Sure other people can write, but they'll never be able to write from the same perspective in which you write. Don't deprive the world of your gift. It's the oxygen that ‎ we need to survive. Thus, it is your responsibility to figure out exactly what your gift is, and use it to better your life and the lives of those around you.‎ ‎__39__‎ You can dream about writing the great American play that you want, but it's never going to happen unless you actually put pen to paper. You can dream about finding a cure for cancer, but it will never happen unless you actually go to school to become equipped with the necessary tools to find that cure. __40__ They require you to get your head out of the clouds, and actually do the work to make them happen.‎ Get to it!‎ A．You can't let fear win.‎ B．Tomorrow is not promised.‎ C．In other words, dreams don't work unless you do.‎ D．How many times have we put off our dreams until tomorrow?‎ E．You were born into the world with a unique gift, which nobody on this earth can copy.‎ F．Possibilities you never knew existing are waiting on you.‎ G．Unless you take the first step, your dreams will never come true.‎ 语篇解读：本文是说明文，解释了我们为什么不能推迟追逐梦想的原因。‎ ‎36．解析：选D　考查上下文逻辑能力。根据后面的回答too many 可知用How many提问。‎ ‎37．解析：选B　考查主题句概括能力。根据下文的关键词“Nobody likes to talk about death.
