When I was at school I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to be a doctor or a lawyer, but having decided to be a lawyer, I then had to choose which first degree I should take before starting, law school in another city, I’ve always wanted to help people and I figured that taking Human Rights would allow me to learn about how I can make a real difference in the world.‎ Vladimir I love maths. I was tom between two possibilities: I could become an engineer and apply maths at a practical level. Or I could become a maths teacher, I needn’t ‎ have worried because in the end I didn’t have to choose! I got everything I wanted thanks to my university, which will qualify me to be a high school teacher while gaining a general engineering degree at the same time.‎ Osvaldo One of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organizing the open day. The lecturers and current students provide an enthusiastic overview of their courses and of life in the city. This was in contrast to other universities I visited, which just let their reputation do the talking. Although I chose not to live on campus, the rooms there seemed comfortable and very reasonably priced.‎ Maria When the time came to select the university, I had three possibilities, but I still could not decide. So it was time to schedule campus tours. They all had their advantages, but this place instantly appealed to me. As soon as I arrived, I was struck by the smiles everyone gave me. What I value most here is the feeling that I am part of a supportive community.‎ ‎1. Who can obtain a double qualification from his or her university?‎ A. Kazumi. B. Vladimir.‎ C. Osvaldo. D. Maria.‎ ‎2. Why did Osvaldo choose his university?‎ A. He found the courses affordable.‎ B. His university sold itself more convincingly.‎ C. He was won over by the university s reputation.‎ D.

C ‎【解析】‎ 本文是说明文。介绍了4名大学生在选择自己大学时的理由。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据I got everything I wanted thanks to my university, which will qualify me to be a high school teacher while gaining a general engineering degree at the same time.得知Vladimir得到了数学和工程师双学位资格。故选B项。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 推理判断题。One of the reasons I chose this university was because of the effort that they put into organizing the open day.得知Osvaldo选择这所大学是因为，它在开放日向学生们全面的展示自己的优势，使得Osvaldo非常愿意进入这所大学学习。故选B项。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据What I value most here is the feeling that I am part of a supportive community.得知Maria在大学有一种归属感。故选C项。‎ B I didn’t understand the irony (讽刺) immediately. Only on the way home. The book I had just returned to our local library was called “Unquiet Landscape” by Christopher Neve. He widened my view.‎ But the ironic word for me in his books title. Irealized, was “unquiet”. It applied not to the landscape but to our local library. I have thus visited it again since then, and my conclusion is much the same: This is no longer a quiet place.‎ On both of my visits the library was packed with small children, and they were doing rather a lot of small-children things, such as dancing in circles, singing, jumping up and down, and so on. Various adults sitting around were clearly not discouraging them, rather the opposite.‎ I wasn’t exactly shocked. But I have to say that my understanding of library behavior and purpose changed somewhat. All my upbringing (教养) about libraries was what they were sanctums(圣地), places of escape in a noisy world. If one clearedone’s throat in a library, one was likely to be stared at by the librarians not to mention tolerating the disapproval of fellow library users enjoying their post-lunch nap. The first school I attended had a library that was entirely ‎ conventional infunction. In it, we boys did (or were expected to do) one thing only: read. The second school i attended allowed one to write as well as read in the library.‎ Since those days, my attitude, I hope, has changed a little. I’ve come across some very pleasant librarians eager to help with my projects. Some of them are surprisingly generous with providing access to their books, which are as dear to them as their own children. And the silence rule has, over the years, become much less strict. Even quite loud laughter, I find, is not always opposed to.‎ ‎4. What did the author do after finishing the book?‎ A. He visited the lands mentioned in the book.‎ B. He expressed his admiration to the book winter.‎ C. He kept his habit of staying quiet in the library.‎ D. He made a close observation of the local library.‎ ‎5. What did the author find out about the adults in the library?‎ A. They made lots of noise.‎ B. They were soft with the kids.‎ C. They didn’t listen to the librarians.‎ D. They couldn’t stop their kids bad behavior.‎ ‎6. What’s the author’s attitude to librarians nowadays?‎ A. Positive. B. Disappointed.‎ C. Unconcerned. D. Worried.‎ ‎【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A ‎【解析】‎ 本文是夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者在读了克里斯托弗写的《不再安静的风景》这本书后，进一步去探索当地的图书馆，作者发现不受传统规则束缚的图书馆给自己带来更好的体验。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据But the ironic word for me in his books title. I realized, was “unquiet”. It applied not to the landscape but to our local library. I have thus visited it again since then, and my conclusion is much the same: This is no longer a quiet place.得知作者在读完书后对当地图书馆进一步去了解。故选D项。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第三段they were doing rather a lot of small-children things, such as dancing in circles, singing, jumping up and down, and so on. Various adults sitting around were clearly not discouraging them, rather the opposite.得知在图书馆孩子们唱跳，上下蹦，大人们坐在旁边并没有进行制止，说明大人们对孩子很温柔。故选B项。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段Since those days, my attitude, I hope, has changed a little. I’ve come across some very pleasant librarians eager to help with my projects.得知作者对图书馆的态度改变了，是积极的。故选A项。‎ C Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs, forever transforming life on Earth.‎ The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.‎ From my point of view as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one can't build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.‎ If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not increase productivity through automation (自动化) and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy?‎ I'm optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win ‎ the race between the growing power of our technology and the knowledge with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated concept of learning form mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. However, it's an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI—where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time.‎ ‎7. How do many people feel about leading AI researchers' predictions?‎ A. Worried. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.‎ ‎8. What does the author think of intelligence?‎ A. We know little about it. B. It belongs to human beings.‎ C. It is too difficult to understand. D. We have nothing more to discover.‎ ‎9. What does the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. Cost. B. Risk. C. Quantity. D. Advantage.‎ ‎10. What's important for us in the race between people and technology?‎ A. Learning from failure. B. Increasing our intelligence.‎ C. Avoiding making mistakes. D. Being more optimistic.‎ ‎【答案】7. C 8. A 9. D 10. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文一篇说明文。作者是一个物理学家和人工智能研究者，他向我们阐述了我们对人工智能发展的误解及人工智能的优势。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段The reason why many regard this as science fiction is that we've traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.人们认为这只存在在科幻小说当中，可以推断，人们对人工智能的研究者们的预测是怀疑的。故选C。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段的This suggests that we've only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.可知，作者认为我们对人工智能的了解只是冰山一角，从而推断出我们对此知之甚少。故选A。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems.及所举的事例和下文提及的是人工智能的各种优点，可知，此句是本段的中心句，句意为“如果我们做对了，好处是巨大的。”从而可推测出upside意思是“优势，好处”。故选D。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据最后一段的However, it’s an awful idea for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI— where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time. 可知，对于一些高科技我们一次错误也不能犯，第一次就要把它做对，由此可推断出，在人和科技的竞赛中，最重要的事情是避免犯错。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】阅读理解通常都会出现词义猜测题，要求考生从上下文理解中概括出生词或短语的词义。考生作此类题型时，首先要找到所猜测词所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基础之上，对此词前后句反复研读，最后根据前后句猜测出词义。例如小题3要求猜测出upside的含义，就是根据Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow's toughest problems. 及所举的事例和下文提及的是人工智能的各种优点，可知，此句是本段的中心句，句意为“如果我们做对了，好处是巨大的。”从而可推测出upside意思是“优势，好处”。‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项多余选项。‎ About 43 years ago, spotted an advertisement in the paper for the YMCA wilderness program. ____11____ My first experience was a boat trip. I still have the images of sunrises and sunsets with all the beautiful colours on Lake of the Woods.‎ ‎___12___ Even now I can feel the cold water dripping down my arm as we sat in the boat pulling the paddles awkwardly through running water.

As a teenager, didn’t know that I was having the best adventure a teenager could have.‎ ‎【答案】11. C 12. G 13. D 14. F 15. E ‎【解析】‎ 本文是记叙文。讲述了大约43年前，作者在报纸上看到一则关于基督教青年会的野外活动广告后参加的划船活动。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 根据空格前About 43 years ago, spotted an advertisement in the paper for the YMCA wilderness program. 作者在43年前看到一则关于基督教青年会的野外生存广告。以及My first experience was a boat trip.我的第一次经历是海上旅行。可以推断出，作者当时15岁，想要做一些不同的事情。故选C。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 根据空格后Even now I can feel the cold water dripping down my arm as we sat in the boat pulling the paddles awkwardly through running water.现在当时的感受还历历在目，但是作者当时是个青少年，不知道自己当时正在体验对青少年来说最好的奇遇。故选G。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 根据空格前We stopped for lunch in the boat by gathering all the boats together.我们所有小船停下来，聚在一起吃午饭，接下来导游要分发食物。导游发给大家巧克力，奶酪和肉。故选D。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 根据空格前. There we learned to start campfires and cook some of our meals. This is where fell in love with noodles.我们学会了生火，煮饭。盯着自己煮的饭和朋友聊聊天这种体验很棒。故选F。‎ ‎【15题详解】‎ 根据空格后I kept a journal from that second trip and often go back to it.得知作者第一次体验感觉很棒，他又开始了第二年的生存旅行。故选E。‎ 第三部分 语言运用（共两小节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空（共20题，每小题15分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意然后从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。‎ In 1999 Rebecca Constantino began doing a study at schools across Los Angeles.

It was the first serious disagreement in forty years of farming side by side, sharing machinery, and trading labour and goods as needed without a hitch.‎ Then the long cooperation fell apart. It began with small misunderstand and then grew into a major difference, and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.‎ One morning, there was a knock on John’s door. He opened it to find a man with a carpenter’s toolbox. “I’m looking for a few days’ work,” he said. Perhaps you have few jobs here and there. Could help you?‎ ‎“Yes,” said John. “I do have a job for you. Look across the small stream at ‎ that farm. That’s my neighbor. In fact, it’s my younger brother. Last week there was a meadow (草地) between us and he took his bulldozer (推土机) there and now there is creek between us. Well, he may have done this to annoy me but I’ll do better. See that pile of wood by the barn (谷仓)? I want you to build a fence—an 8-foot-high fence—so I won’t need to see his place anymore.”‎ The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situation. Show me the nails and hole-digger and I’ll be able to do a job that pleases you.”‎ The older brother had to go to the town for supplies, so he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left. The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. At sunset when John returned, the carpenter had just finished his job, John’s eyes opened wide and his jaw dropped.‎ ‎1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；‎ ‎2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；‎ ‎3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好；‎ ‎4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。‎ Paragraph 1:‎ There was no fence at all.

It was a bridge--a bridge stretching from one ‎ side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work — and his younger brother, was coming across, his hand spread out ..“You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I’ve said and done.”The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. ‎ They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. "No, wait! Stay a few days，please. I've a lot of other work for you," said the elder brother."I'd love to stay on,"  the carpenter said, "but I have so many more bridges to build."‎ ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇读后续写。阅读短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。‎ ‎【详解】1．速读全文，获取大意 读后续写大多为记叙文，我们可以用五个W和一个H问题来获取文章大意，即用when、where、who、what、how、why来说明“何时何地谁发生了何事，事件是如何发展的，为什么会这样发展。”‎ ‎2．细读原文，理清脉络 续写是对原文的延伸，学生续写时要遵循原文的思路、风格和语言；要做到故事情节烂熟于心，人物性格准确把握。为此，学生有必要细读原文，了解原文的风格，用笔划出原文主要情节，次要情节，矛盾的冲突点、高潮处或可续写点，从而理清原文脉络。同时也应关注原文好词好句，细节描写和有效对话。‎ ‎3．分析逻辑，构思情节 读后续写可以从两方面构思情节。一是分析文章结尾和两个段落首句间的逻辑关系，根据五所思维，即“所见，所闻，所想，所感，所做”，运用问题链设置相关问题构思情节。‎ 二是搭建中文支架构思情节。合理且有创意的结尾能让阅卷老师回味无穷。‎ ‎4．细节描写，优化语言 学生续写时应运用朴实、地道、恰当的词语，不必追求高大上的生僻词汇。续写情节应是原文的延续。续写手法叙述为主，描写为辅。当然，如学生能适时添加动作描写，肖像描写，环境描写，修辞表达和花样表达情节等细节描写，便能优化语言表达，让故事情节充满画面感。‎ ‎5．检查修改，誊写终稿 完成续写初稿后，学生要检查、修改、润色自己的作文。自查情节是否合理，结尾是否有创意；语法、词汇、人称、时态运用是否准确；是否使用五个关键词；是否有细节描写和品质词句。最后用工整、端正的字迹誊写语篇续写，吸引阅卷教师的眼球。‎ ‎【点睛】本文是一篇读后续写。全文讲述木匠利用自己的技术，在俩兄弟之间搭建一座木桥，化解兄弟间的冤仇。因此，无论从具体的桥还是寓意的桥来讲都是一件“杰作”。‎ 文章要点概括齐全，重点突出，层次分明，同时文中使用高级句子。It was a bridge--a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other!非谓语动词的运用为文章增色添彩。‎ ‎ ‎
