They use a computer program that runs photos of animal track through an algorithm (演算法).Then the program makes the same observations as a tracker would, allowing scientists to know where individual animals go. However, the program itself needs “training”.‎ It starts with collecting good photos of prints from endangered animals in captivity(圈养）.As people send in photos of tracks from animals in the wild, the FIT program can compare it to tracks from animals it “knows”. As the program becomes more accurate, Wild Track hopes it will become a major tool for monitoring any endangered species.‎ Anyone can help Wild Track by taking images of tracks and sending them to a partner organization called naturalist.org. The only tool you need is a digital camera or cellphone. After finding a clear track, place one ruler along the bottom of the footprint and another along the left side. Below the footprint, place a note containing your exact name and the date. Holding the camera or cellphone directly above the track, take a photo showing the footprint, rulers and note. Later, visit naturalist.org and follow the instructions on the site to send your photo.‎ Wild Track needs photos of footprints made not only by animals in captivity but also those living in the wild. In wild places, you should take care not to disturb animals in their natural environment. If you intend to photograph in a wild area that is unknown to you, then you should not go there alone. Instead, go with someone who is familiar with the region and experienced at tracking.‎ ‎36. How does the writer begin this article about Wild Track?‎ A.

A technology firm is trying to make that future a reality today with an affordable robot called Artibo. Artibo is small. Its brain, or AI block, is a cube (立方体）that fits in your hand. That block connects to a motor block and two silicon wheels. Assembled, it's about four inches tall.‎ Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around. Artibo’s designers want it to provide companionship and be a resource for learning coding. With its camera, microphone and connection to a cloud-based AI, it can respond to voice commands or function like a walkie-talkie(对讲 机).It talks like a chatbot and can tell bedtime stories. It can even help you learn other languages!‎ Artibo isn’t quite ready for stores yet, though. It’s part of a crowdfunding project. Crowdfunding is a program where you put a request online to a crowd of people. Supporters can then pay large or small amounts to help you finish a project. Artibo will first be available to people who have paid to help bring it into production.‎ Using computer code to program your own toys is nothing new. LEGO first released a ‎ robot kit in 1998. Since then, programmable robots have become one of the best-selling units in the LEGO product line. Programming robots might sound comparable to rocket science, but anyone can program one using nothing more than a tablet or a smartphone and code blocks.‎ Code blocks allow you to program simple or complex commands by assembling visual blocks of code on the canvas (画布）of a computer screen. Just drag and drop a variety of code blocks from a programming menu link them together, and watch how your robot responds. In Artibo’s case coding doesn’t stop there. Unlike other similar programmable toys, Artibo will also allow you to write your own code. So as your familiarity with coding increases, you won’t lose interest in Artibo.‎ ‎40. According to the passage, the purpose of developing Artibo is .‎ A. helping people learn anything they want and providing companionship B. providing a robot that can move, accompany and help people learn coding C. chatting with people, telling bedtime stories and supplying languages D. helping people raise money on line and creating programmable robots ‎41.

Anyone can control Artibo freely unlike other programming toys.‎ C. The more familiar you’re with coding, the more you’ll like Artibo.‎ D. Artibo is popular in the world especially among young people.‎ ‎【答案】40. B 41. A 42. C ‎【语篇解读】‎ 这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿蒂博机器人。一家科技公司正试图推出一款名为“阿蒂博”(Artibo)的平价机器人，其设计者希望它能提供陪伴，并成为学习编程的资源。‎ ‎【40题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第二段中Artibo is much more than just a robot that you program to move around.

But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues.‎ The first generation of wireless introduced mobile phones, and 2G brought texting. 3G laid the groundwork for smart-phones, and 4G allowed video streaming and more. 5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its predessor(前任)，and some experts argue it could be much faster.‎ Too much of a good thing?‎ It's not just about streaming data faster, it's about streaming more of it. On a 5G network, a user can download a movie instantly, and data will flow between connected objects without delay. The amount of data people use on mobile devices has gone up 40 times since 2010 and is only expected to increase. 5G networks are wireless companies attempts to satisfy that demand.‎ Uncertain effects The untested nature of 5G, and the extensiveness of its infrastructure( 基础设施） has some worried that the increased exposure could have serious health effects. Wireless safety advocates（倡议人士）have called for more studies on the effects of the exposure, and one group is trying to stop the installment of 5G networks in Chicago's neighborhoods.‎ The federal government has safety rules that wireless companies must obey that limit human exposure to radio waves, including frequencies uses with 5G.‎ Wireless industry association CTIA says typical exposure to 5G infrastructure is comparable to Bluetooth devices and baby monitors, and there is no scientific evidence of negative health effects.‎ Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. Additional studies on 5G’s health impacts likely wouldn’t soothe her either. She said, “People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”‎ ‎“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives,” said Blake, 67.‎ Only time will tell?‎ Though little is known about the long-term health impact of the millimeter waves that 5G operates on, some research has shown short-term exposure could be problematic, said Joel Moskowitz, a public health expert at the University of California at Berkeley.‎ The eyes and sweat glands(腺体）are among several body parts studies have shown could be at risk. Moskowitz said. Insects and plant life could also be affected, he added.‎ The millimeter waves used in SG are absorbed by the upper layers of skin, potentially causing the temperature of the skin to rise, said Suresh Borkar, senior lecturer in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Illinois Institute of Technology. The effects of extended rises in skin temperature “become a big unknown,” he said.‎ This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it's the first time the high- frequency waves will he used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history.‎ ‎“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the ‎ health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.”‎ ‎43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. 5G is faster but not safe to human beings.‎ B. 5G features faster and more in transiting.‎ C. 5G can meet people's any demand in theory.‎ D. 5G just makes little impact on people's health.‎ ‎44. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. Millimeter waves certainly affect people's health seriously B. Millimeter waves will cause the skin’s temperature to rise.‎ C. It's obvious that many scientists object to 5G technology.‎ D. It's hard to say whether millimeter waves do damage to health.‎ ‎45. The word soothe in the last but 7 paragraphs most probably means ______ .‎ A. to make somebody feel calm or less worried.‎ B. to make somebody feel happy or more excited.‎ C. to make somebody feel disappointed or less satisfaction D. to make somebody feel inspired or more energetic.‎ ‎46. The best title for this passage is ______.‎ A. 5G’s Advantages and Disadvantages B. The Development of Wireless C. 5G Health Concern D. 5G Future Prediction ‎【答案】43. B 44. D 45. A 46. C ‎【语篇解读】‎ 这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了5G以及人们对5G网络是否会影响健康问题发表了看法。‎ ‎【43题详解】‎ 细节理解题。根据第一段中5G, the fifth generation of wireless, promises lightning-fast download speeds and could lay foundation for high-tech advancements like self-driving cars. 第五代无线网络5G承诺闪电般的下载速度，并可能为自动驾驶汽车等高科技进步奠定基础。可知5G网络会更快、更便捷。第二段中5G is expected to download data 20 times faster than its ‎ predessor，and some experts argue it could be much faster. 5G下载数据的速度预计将比其前任快20倍，一些专家认为它可能会快得多。可知5G的特点是传输更快、更便捷。故选B项。‎ ‎【44题详解】‎ 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中This isn't the first time people will come into contact with millimeter waves: They're also used in airport body scanners, said Lav Varshney, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Still, it's the first time the high- frequency waves will he used on such a scale, and concerns surrounding new technologies are common throughout history. 伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的电子与计算机工程助理教授拉夫·瓦什尼说，这并不是人们第一次接触毫米波：机场的人体扫描仪也使用毫米波。尽管如此，这是他第一次如此大规模地使用高频电波，历史上人们对新技术的担忧也是屡见不鲜。可知，对于毫米波对人类健康的影响其实还没有明确的证据，很难说是否对身体有害。故选D项。‎ ‎【45题详解】‎ 词义猜测题。根据本段中Still, assurances from government agencies and industry operators are not enough for Chicago resident Judy Blake. …She said, “People can't choose whether or not to be exposed to this radiation.”不过，政府机构和行业运营商的保证对芝加哥居民朱迪•布莱克来说还不够。……她说，“人们不能选择是否暴露在这种辐射下。” 以及下一句“I don’t need another test. The only test that’s going to happen now is people’s lives,” said Blake, 67.“我不需要再做一次检查。现在唯一的考验就是人们的生活。”67岁的布莱克说。可知，布莱克所说的话是表达她的担忧和不安，因此soothe应该是“使某人感到平静或不那么担心。”故选A项。‎ ‎【46题详解】‎ 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句But like many new technologies, it's causing concern about potential health issues. 但与许多新技术一样，它也引发了人们对潜在健康问题的担忧。以及最后一段中“When cars first started replacing horse-drawn carriages, people were afraid of what the health impacts of traveling at high speeds would be,” Varshney said. “There has always been occurrence of this fear.” 瓦尔什尼说:“当汽车刚开始取代马车的时候，人们担心高速行驶会对健康造成什么影响。”“这种恐惧总是会发生。”可知，本文的中心是围绕5G是否对人类健康有影响的担忧展开的，最佳标题应该是“5 G的健康担忧”。故选C项。‎ Section C Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences in the box. Each sentence ‎ can only be used once. Note that there are two sentences more than you need.‎ Whether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. ___47___ While most people’s enthusiasm for emoji increased in the smart- phone era, Japan has been crazy for emoji since 1999. Designer Shigetaka Kurita invented emoji for a Japanese phone company 20 years ago as a way to make it easier to express ideas in a short message. The word emoji can be translated as “picture character” from Japanese. After the release of Kurita’s emoji, rival phone companies in Japan began creating their own emoji. Many emoji on our digital devices today are imported from Kurita’s original set of emoji.‎ Japan’s love for emoji continued well into the 2000s before the rest of the world discovered them. Apple Inc. officially introduced an emoji function in their software in 2011. Soon, other phone companies from around the world made it easier for their customers to use emoji ___48___.‎ As you scroll (滑动）through your phone, you can see the wide selection of available emoji. More than 2,000 emoji are in existence now, with more being released each year. These numbers show the popularity and demand for emoji.‎ Why? Because words alone can’t convey the complete meaning of a digital message. In digital communication, emoji express a tone or mood. More than 90 percent of people online use emoji especially ones that show emotion like hearts and smileys. ___49___. For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.”‎ Some emoji are also abstract enough for people to use in any way they like. You can send an emoji as an inside joke, which is only understood between you and your friend.‎ ‎___50___. Nor do they belong to a specific culture. You and I give emoji meaning, because emoji is a language that belongs to all of us.‎ A. You may find these colorful symbols unavoidable as they’ve become a language of their own B. People can send emoji instead of writing words to participate in a conversation C. No wonder emoji use is becoming more and more popular in various fields D. Today, emoji use is a standard feature in digital communication E. But not all the people show interest in emoji especially elder ones F. Unlike most words, there isn't a certain definition for each emoji ‎【答案】47. A 48. D 49. B 50. F ‎【语篇解读】‎ 这是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了表情符号emoji的发展历史及其作用。‎ ‎【47题详解】‎ 根据上一句Whether you’re on social media or sending a text message, you encounter emoji (表情符号)regularly. 无论你是在社交媒体上还是在发短信，你都会经常看到表情符号。可知，无论在哪里都不可避免地会见到表情符号，故选项A“你可能会发现这些丰富多彩的符号是不可避免的，因为它们已经成为了自己的语言。”符合题意。故选A。‎ ‎【48题详解】‎ 根据上文中出现的年份into the 2000s，in 2011以及Soon表明了表情符号的发展过程，可知此处也要描述表情符号的发展，故选项D“如今，表情符号的使用是数字通信的标准功能”符合题意。故选D。‎ ‎【49题详解】‎ 根据下一句For example, they might send a red heart emoji as a response that they really like something instead of writing, “I love that.” 例如，他们可能会发送一个红心表情作为他们真的喜欢某样东西的回应，而不是写“我爱那个”。通过例子可知，此处应该表达了表情符号可以代替具体的某句话，故选项B“人们可以发送表情符号来代替文字来参与对话”符合题意。故选B。‎ ‎【50题详解】‎ 根据下一句Nor do they belong to a specific culture.他们也不属于特定的文化。可知they指代的应该是emoji表情符号，故此处也应该与表情符号有关，且表达表情符号不是具体的什么，故选项F“与大多数单词不同，每个表情符号都没有特定的定义”符合题意。故选F。‎ ‎【点睛】七选五的解题技巧之一是根据上下文词汇来锁定线索。即：要关注空白前后的名词和动词，然后在选项中查找它们的近义词、反义词、同义词、同类词等。其次是一些专有名词，比如说数词、代词、时间、年代、地点/名称等。在本文中，第4小题中的“they”与上下文或选项中有相呼应的词语。‎ Ⅲ. Summary Writing ‎51.Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.‎ People choose to become entrepreneurs(创业者） for a wide variety of reasons. One ‎ important reason is, of course, financial reward. If you own your own business and it becomes successful, you can reap huge financial rewards. And as an entrepreneur, dependent on how much your boss decides to give you; ifs limited only by the success of your business. And speaking of bosses, not having a supervisor is another major advantage of becoming an entrepreneur.‎ Entrepreneurs are often independent thinkers who want to be in charge of projects, rather than having others tell them what to do. They often have big dreams that that they want to pursue rather than making someone else’s dream come true. For many entrepreneurs, starting a business is a way of solving a problem or helping people receive something they need. It’s a way to change the world for the better.‎ Being an entrepreneur isn’t easy, however, nor is it always fun. Entrepreneurs often have to work long hours, especially early on when they’re trying to get their businesses off the ground. that’s the reason entrepreneurs need to have a strong work ethic(伦理).Employees can work 40 hours a week and then stop, but for an entrepreneur, there’s no end in sight.‎ That’s why another feature of successful entrepreneurs is passion; they have to be excited about what they’re doing to be willing to work hard for it. Entrepreneurs also need good communication skills to pass on that passion to others. That’s important for finding investors, getting people to buy products and attracting employees.‎ Entrepreneurs also need to be creative people who are able to find solutions to problems they encounter. This is important from the very beginning, when the entrepreneur comes up with an initial concept of a business. But even after that initial step, creative thinking is continually necessary to adapt to changing situations and to solve problems that come up.‎ ‎【答案】This passage is about the advantages and challenges of starting a business. On one hand, a boss can get financial rewards and independence avoiding control from others. On the other hand, a boss must have passion for his own business, good communication skills and creative thinking, which can help him solve problems.‎ ‎【语篇解读】‎ 文章的主要结构为总-分。主要讲关于企业家创业的优势和所要具备的品质。符合概要写作常规出题思路。‎ ‎【详解】第一段讲述企业家创业一个重要的原因经济上的回报。第二段讲述企业家通常是独立的思考者。可以用到的词汇或句型有：financial rewards，independence，avoid from，control，others等。第三段主要讲企业家需要有强烈的职业道德的原因。第四段讲了成功企业家的另一个特征是激情。第五段讲了企业家还需要成为有创造力的人。可以用到的词汇或句式有：passion，business，good communication skills，creative thinking，solve problems等。所以可以概括为两方面，一方面描述创业成为企业家的优势；另一方面描述要成为成功企业家所要具备的品质。‎ Ⅴ.
