Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification. These eco-friendly houses are powered entirely by electricity from solar panels around the houses. They also have advanced ventilation (通风) systems, making sure that temperatures inside the building don’t go beyond ‎25℃‎ for more than 10% of hours annually, as well as mini heat pumps to generate (产生) the heating and hot water on-site. Part of the cooling design includes avoiding east-or west-facing windows, and window shading.‎ And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing. “Unfortunately, the Government relaxed the proposed 2016 zero-carbon targets after being lobbied(游说)by house builders,” Ian explained. “At present, the main house-building corporations control the land and only build at the rate they are sure will sell, keeping the UK’s housing shortage so that the normal rules of ‘supply and demand’ don’t apply. When there is a shortage of housing, buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want.”‎ In any sensible society, we would expect the planning system to actively encourage zero-carbon houses，and he tough on anyone failing to deliver the necessary standard. Instead, we have a planning system that focuses on other aspects such as numbers of bedrooms, garden sizes, and parking places. These are important aspects, but they pale into insignificance compared to the catastrophic consequences of climate change.‎ ‎1. What can a purchaser do before buying the type of housing?‎ A. Negotiate its price. B. Choose where to build it.‎ C. Decide how the inside of it looks. D. Design its ventilation.‎ ‎2. How do people react to the zero-carbon homes?‎ A. Welcome. B. Uncaring.‎ C. Skeptical. D. Demanding.‎ ‎3. What do house-building companies intend to do?‎ A. Balance the “supply and demand” of houses.‎ B. Purchase more land to stop climate change.‎ C. Build more houses powered by the sun.‎ D. Make it more difficult to buy houses.‎ ‎4. What’s the author’s attitude to the Government’s planning system?‎ A. Satisfied. B. Disapproving.‎ C. Worried. D. Ambiguous.‎ ‎【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. B ‎【解析】‎ 这是一篇说明文。介绍了英国首个零碳家园的建设。涉及了零碳家园的基本特点、供求情况以及政府对此的态度。‎ ‎【1题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Buyers are able to have the final say on floor layouts，kitchens and bathrooms. One three-bedroom home is on the market for￡801 ,000,with a custom build available to suit your own specification.（买家可以对楼层布局、厨房和浴室拥有最终决定权。市场上有一套三居室的房子，售价为80.1万英镑，可以根据自己的需求定制。）” 可知买家可以决定这种房屋的内部布局。故选C。‎ ‎【2题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段中的“And they’re in high demand. Ian Pritchett, of Ssassy Property, thinks the Government should do more to promote the construction of this type of housing.（这种房子需求量很大。Ssassy房产公司的伊恩·普里切特（Ian Pritchett）认为，政府应该为促进这类住房的建设做出更多努力。）”可知，人们很欢迎这类房子。故选A。‎ ‎【3题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由第三段中的“At present, the main house-building corporations control the land…buyers have to purchase what is available rather than what they might want. （目前，主要的房屋建筑公司控制着土地，只按他们确信会出售的速度建造房屋，这使得英国的住房短缺，使房屋“供应和需求”难以达到的正常要求。当房屋短缺时，购房者不得不购买现在所有的，而不能买他们想要的。）”可知，房屋建造公司想让购房更为困难。故选D。‎ ‎【4题详解】‎ 推理判断题。最后一段作者谈到：在任何一个理性的社会，我们都希望房屋规划系统积极鼓励零碳排放的住房，并对任何未能达到必要标准的人采取严厉措施。相反，我们的房屋规划局却专注于其他方面的规划，比如卧室数量、花园面积和停车位。这些都是重要的方面，但与气候变化的灾难性后果相比，它们就显得微不足道了。由此可知，作者对政府的房屋规划持不同的意见。A. Satisfied满意的；B. Disapproving 不赞同的；C. Worried担心的，担忧的；D. Ambiguous模棱两可的。故选B。‎ B In the shadow of Kenya’s Mount Kilimanjaro, nine Rothschild giraffes, the rarest giraffes on the planet, are free to wander at the English-style manor (庄园). Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them. And now the couple are sharing the fantastic experience with the public by opening the manor gates to guests at the giraffe hotel, the only hotel of its kind in the world. Now, guests can feed the giraffes at breakfast but can also get up close to them from their second-floor bedrooms.‎ Mr and Mrs Carr-Hartley，both 38, spent their childhood living close to the house in Nairobi and have always been enthusiastic about the animals. Tanya said, “Mikey and I grew up near this manor house when we were children. We are both third generation Kenyans and have always wanted to work in conservation. Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space. When the house came up for sale, we jumped at the chance to buy it as we had always dreamed of owning it. Now, we were absolutely overjoyed to do something for the giraffe protection. Having the giraffes so close is very special and something which people can now experience by staying in one of the ten rooms at the hotel.”‎ A conservation project to save them was started at the manor in 1974 by the previous owners. “The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild and we hope to continue,” said Tanya.‎ ‎5. Why are the Carr-Hartley family unusual?‎ A. They’re living on the rarest giraffes. B. They share their home with giraffes.‎ C. They’re good at making giraffes’ food. D. They train giraffes to manage the hotel.‎ ‎6. What can we know about Mikey’s family?‎ A. It has had a long connection with giraffes. B. It used to raise giraffes around the manor.‎ C. It built a new manor for the wild giraffes. D. It removed giraffes to Mount Kilimanjaro.‎ ‎7. Which can best describe the manor’s previous owners’ conservation project?‎ A. Visitor-friendly. B. Energy-saving. C. Costly. D. Fruitful.‎ ‎8. What is the suitable title for the text?‎ A. Giraffes’ breakfast by guests B. Reasons for giraffe protection C. The world’s only giraffe hotel D. History of the giraffe manor ‎【答案】5. B 6. A 7. D 8. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。位于肯尼亚内罗毕附近的长颈鹿庄园是世界上唯一一家以长颈鹿为主题的酒店，庄园的主人卡尔哈特雷夫妇以与9只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿同住而闻名。这种世界上最高的动物自由徜徉在庄园里，每天快到9时的时候，这些长颈鹿就会漫步房前，穿过窗户或者门把脑袋探进房间寻找美味早餐。‎ ‎【5题详解】‎ 细节理解题。第一段中提到“Every day shortly before 9am, they come up to the house and stick their heads through the windows and doors in search of morning treats. The manor’s owners, Tanya and Mikey Carr-Hartley, share their dining table with them.（九只罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿，可以在这个英式庄园里自由漫步。每天上午快到9点的时候，它们就会来到这所房子里，把头伸进窗户和门里寻找早餐。庄园的主人Tanya和Mikey Carr-Hartley与他们共用一张餐桌）”，由这些信息可知，卡尔哈特雷一家之所以特别是因为他们与长颈鹿共享他们的生活。故选B。‎ ‎【6题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段提及的“Mikey’s family have been related to the protection of animals for many generations. His granddad helped the removal of giraffes as far back as the 1930s because the Rothschild giraffes lost much of their natural living space.（米基家族几代人都与保护动物有关。他的祖父早在20世纪30年代就帮助长颈鹿迁徙，因为罗斯柴尔德长颈鹿的自然生存空间消失殆尽。）”信息，可知米基一家与长颈鹿有很深的历史渊源。故选A。‎ ‎【7题详解】‎ 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The previous owners ran a very successful breeding (繁殖) programme, where many giraffes were set free into the wild（以前的主人进行了一个非常成功的繁殖项目，许多长颈鹿被放生到野外。）”可知，他们的保护计划成果明显。A. Visitor-friendly对游客很友好；B. Energy-saving节省能源的；C. Costly昂贵的；D. Fruitful成果丰硕的。故选D。‎ ‎【8题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。本文开篇谈到：卡尔哈特雷夫妇通过向世界上唯一的长颈鹿酒店的客人开放庄园大门来与公众分享与长颈鹿亲密接触的奇妙经历。客人可以在早餐时喂长颈鹿，也可以从二楼的卧室靠近它们。第二段还谈到：长颈鹿离我们这么近是一件很特别的事，现在人们住在酒店的10个房间的任何一间就能体验到这种感觉。由此可知，C项（世界上惟一的长颈鹿酒店）最能体现本文的主题思想。故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考察方式，标题题（best title）是其一个典型的考点，也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题：一是看首尾段，根据首尾段内容总结主题思想；二是看每段段首句，根据所有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题，就是标题类的主旨大意题。文章总共三段，第一段描述庄园内的现状，第二段描述庄园主人与庄园的渊源，第三段描述庄园内曾做过的繁殖长颈鹿的项目，所以本文都是围绕庄园展开的，由第一段可知，庄园也是世界上唯一的长颈鹿旅馆。故选C。‎ C Most heroes are not super. They don't appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.‎ Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.‎ About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they're taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him-- supposedly to ‎ complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did.‎ After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.‎ His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood". Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's reputation as a friendly city.‎ ‎9. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first ________.‎ A. contact the owner of the stolen bike B. look up the bike's information C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief ‎10. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to ________.‎ A. become famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a friendly city ‎11. From the passage, we can learn that ________.‎ A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident C. the police failed to perform their duties D. the thieves refused to return the bikes ‎【答案】9. B 10. D 11. B ‎【解析】‎ 本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个帮助寻找丢失自行车人——Bike Batman。他是一名西雅图市民，一次意外让他开始了他的善行。他希望通过帮助寻找丢失的自行车来保持西雅图作为一个友好城市的声誉。‎ ‎【9题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第四段第二句When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action.可知，当Bike Batman发现一辆有问题的自行车时，他会先查一下自行车的信息。故选B。‎ ‎【10题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle’s reputation as a friendly city.可知，Bike Batman帮助寻找丢失的自行车是为了保持西雅图作为一个友好城市的声誉。故选D。‎ ‎【11题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第三段中About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they’re taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index.可知，Bike Batman是意外地开始了他的善行。故选B。‎ D News anchors(主播) must have been reluctant to read out the following news: Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world’s first female artificial(人工的) intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday, three months after a male robot joined the profession.‎ Unlike previous news robots though, Xin does not read news like a cold machine; she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax — and her reactions change as she continues reading. That’s why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?‎ To find the answer, we have to analyze the technologies that support Xin at her job. Three key technologies are used to support Xin. First, samples of human voices are collected and synthesized (合成). This is followed by the collection and synthesis of human muscle movement samples. And third the voices and movements are married in a way that when the AI news anchor reads, the micro- electric motors behind her face move to make her expressions seem more human.‎ Yet we need a thorough knowledge of deep learning technology to make a robot imitate a person’s voice. The developer needs to collect tens of thousands of pieces of pronunciations, input ‎ them into the machine and match them with the text for the AI to learn and read. The process for imitating facial movements is similar. The developer has to analyze the movements of the 53 muscles in the human face, make a model set from the collected data for the AI news anchor to learn, and imitate the movements of facial muscles via programs Both the technologies used to make Xin’s performance impressive are mature. The real difficulty lies in the third — the technology to match the pronunciations with facial movements so that Xin’s expressions vary according to the content of the news report. In fact, Xin’s expressions don’t always change according to the content. As a result, her expressions look anything but human. Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.‎ ‎12. What does the underlined word “reluctant” in the first paragraph mean?‎ A. Delighted B. Unwilling C. Confused D. Optimistic ‎13. What can we infer about previous news robots?‎ A. They read news without expressions. B. They looked like a human being.‎ C. They could interview sports stars. D. They could interact with audience.‎ ‎14. From the last paragraph, we can draw a conclusion that .‎ A. human news anchors should learn from AI anchors to save their jobs B. Al anchors perform much better than human news anchors at present C. Al news anchors won’t replace human news anchors in the near future D. Xin Xiaomeng’s expressions vary so naturally that they are true to life ‎【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C ‎【解析】‎ ‎【分析】‎ 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了上周日，新华社新闻主播辛晓萌成为世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播，本文介绍了人工智能背后的技术，并指出在不久的将来，人工智能新闻主播不会取代人类新闻主播。‎ ‎【12题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据画线词后的“Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world's first female artifial(人工的）intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday"及第二段中的"That's why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?‎ 可知，担心将来自己的工作会被人工智能取代的新闻主播一定不愿意透露下面这个消息：上周日，新华社新闻主播辛晓萌成为世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播，由此可知画线词词义为“不愿意的”，故选B。‎ ‎【13题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据第二段中的"Unlike previous news robots though,Xin does not read news like a cold machine;she reads it almost like a human being. The muscles on her face stretch and relax-and her reactions change-as she continues reading."可知，与以前的机器人主播不同的是，辛晓萌读起来不像一台冷冰冰的机器，就像是一个活生生的人，她读新闻的时候脸上的肌肉能够伸展和放松，面部反应也发生了变化，由此可知，以前的机器人主播读新闻时面无表情，故选A。‎ ‎【14题详解】‎ 推理判断题，根据最后一段中的Actually, AI is still no match for human qualities.可知，人工智能仍无法与人类素质相匹敌，由此可知，在不久的将来，人工智能新闻主播不会取代人类新闻主播，故选C。‎ ‎【点睛】词义猜测题的难度较大，理解画线词的上下文是关键，例如本篇第1题，根据画线词后的Xin Xiaomeng began working as the world's first female artificial(人工的）intelligence news anchor at Xinhua News Agency on Sunday,再结合第二段中的"That's why many news anchors were worried: Will AI replace us in the near future?可知，人类新闻主播担心将来自己的工作会被人工智能取代，所以他们一定不愿意透露上周日，新华社新闻主播辛晓萌成为世界上第一位女性人工智能新闻主播这个消息，由此可知画线词词义为“不愿意的”。‎ 四、完形填空 The snow was falling and the roads had become dangerous.

Her test results were still on file, and it turned out she was a potential ___26___ for someone else. The caller asked Karen if she would still be willing to become a bone marrow donor. “Yes,” she said and then immediately began answering questions on the pages of paperwork for further testing. It was a race ___27___ time.‎ I wish I could say that this ___28___ was won. It wasn’t. The caller later thanked Karen for her participation and asked a few more questions—including whether or not she’d ___29___ on the donor list. “Of course,” Karen answered.‎ Last week Karen gave blood and next week I’ll make my usual donation. I’ll ___30___ an afternoon from my schedule and make an appointment. I don’t know whose life my donation may ___31___.
