Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, Steve took time to ask me what had happened. When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs. Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to confess to it. After all, I should have been playing in the park and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window if she would return my ball. I also learned from Steve that personal property (财产) is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifthgrade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and she praised me.‎ Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never ‎ forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark？” I didn't know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should even think of hurting a living thing is whether it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了“我”的哥哥陪伴“我”成长的经历：他鼓励“我”勇于承担打碎窗户的责任；向老师送回捡到的钢笔；他还教育“我”尊重生命。‎ ‎4．What does the underlined word “confess” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A．Cover. B．Admit.‎ C．Deny. D．Agree.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“When I explained that my baseball had broken Mrs. Holt's basement window, Steve encouraged me to”和下文内容可知，“我”玩棒球时打碎了Holt夫人家的窗户，哥哥鼓励“我”向Holt夫人承认错误。据此可以判断，画线词意为“承认”，故B项正确。‎ ‎5．How did the author feel when he faced Mrs. Holt?‎ A．He was unwilling.‎ B．He felt frightened.‎ C．He appeared challenging.‎ D．He was lighthearted.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window ‎ if she would return my ball.”可知，“我”在向Holt夫人解释情况时双腿打颤。据此可知“我”很害怕，故B项正确。‎ ‎6．Which was the most important lesson the author learned from his brother?‎ A．Care for the property of others.‎ B．The value of honesty.‎ C．Responsibility for one's actions.‎ D．Respect for living things.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句可知，在所有的教育中，最令“我”难忘的是哥哥对生命的尊重，故D项正确。‎ ‎7．What technique does the author mainly use to organize the text?‎ A．Time order. B．Cause and effect.‎ C．Examples. D．Logical reasoning.‎ 解析：选C　写作手法题。通读第二段可知，文章列举了哥哥鼓励“我”勇于承担打碎窗户的责任、向老师送回捡到的钢笔这两件事，说明哥哥教育“我”要对自己的行为负责；通读第三段可知，哥哥教育“我”要尊重生命。据此可以判断，本文通过举例法组织全文，故C项正确。‎ C ‎(2018·成都市高中毕业班诊断性检测)Wouldn't it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?‎ In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that, within a decade or so, we'll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with ‎ builtin microphones. That's because technological progress is extremely rapid. It's only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.‎ It's true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It's not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent (对应词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator's job. But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.‎ It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't — or shouldn't — involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it's about translating meaning.And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.‎ Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture.All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.‎ Therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.‎ 语篇解读：‎ 技术专家说随着技术的进步，即时翻译机器将在十年左右在市场上出现。但是，由于翻译包括很多方面，因此电脑翻译不会精确，也不会完全取代人类的翻译。‎ ‎8．What does the underlined word “imminent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?‎ A．Ready. B．Approaching.‎ C．Helpful. D．Advanced.‎ 解析：选B　词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的前一句“It's only a matter of time.”并结合第二段的第一句可知，这种产品在十年左右会在市场上出现，再结合画线词后的“that they're wondering if their kids should even learn a second language”可以判断，这种产品即将出现，家长们在考虑他们的孩子是否要学习一门外语。据此可知，画线词意为“即将发生的，临近的”，故B项正确。‎ ‎9．Why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent?‎ A．Their data is not adequate enough.‎ B．The real meaning of words can vary.‎ C．Their accuracy needs big improvement.‎ D．A soul hasn't been breathed in them.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第四段的“It's so difficult for computers because translation doesn't — or shouldn't ... paragraphs.”并结合第五段的内容可知，由于一个词的意思可能有很多，电脑难以用某个对应词代替这个词，故B项正确。‎ ‎10．What view does the author hold about translation?‎ A．Proper translation can be tough for humans.‎ B．Slight distinctions matter little in translation.‎ C．Some machines will interpret our world properly.‎ D．Cultures deserve more attention than words used.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段的“If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better？”可知，来自不同文化背景的人会互相冒犯却没有意识到；据此可以判断，由于文化背景不同，正确的翻译对于人来讲是很困难的，故A项正确。‎ ‎11．What is the best title for the text?‎ A．An Expert's Precise Prediction B．The Complexity of Translation C．Who Will Be a Better Translator D．Will Language Barrier Actually Fall 解析：选D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了未来的一种即时翻译机器，但是同时提出由于语言中有许多对应词，这种机器无法精确翻译，另外因为文化背景的不同，有时人们自己也无法精确地翻译。据此可以判断，作者旨在说明在将来能否消除语言障碍，故D项为最佳标题。‎ D ‎(2018·沈阳市高中三年级教学质检)‎ You'll probably never go to Mars or sing on the stage with the Rolling Stones. But if virtual reality (VR) ever lives up to its promise, you might be able to do all these things — and many more — without even leaving your home. Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world. Apart from games and entertainment, it's long been used for training airline pilots and surgeons and for helping scientists to figure out complex problems such as the structure of protein molecules. Then how does it work?‎ Close your eyes and think of virtual reality and ‎ you probably picture something like this: a man wearing a wraparound headset and data gloves wired into a powerful workstation or supercomputer. What distinguishes VR from an ordinary computer experience is the nature of the input and output. Where an ordinary computer uses things like a keyboard, mouse, or speech recognition for input, VR uses sensors that detect how your body is moving. And where a PC displays output on a screen, VR uses two screens (one for each eye), surroundsound speakers, and maybe some forms of touch and body feedback as well.‎ VR has been routinely used by scientists, doctors, dentists, engineers, architects, archaeologists, and the military for about the last 30 years. Difficult and dangerous jobs are hard to train for. How can you safely practice taking a trip to space, making a parachute jump, or carrying out brain surgery? All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.‎ Like any technology, virtual reality has both good and bad points. Critics always raise the risk that people may be addicted to alternative realities to the point of ignoring their realworld lives — but that criticism has been leveled at everything from radio and TV to computer games and the Internet. Like many technologies, VR takes little or nothing away from the real world: you don't have to use it if you don't want to.‎ 语篇解读：本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍了“虚拟现实”的工作原理、在不同领域的应用以及人们对这一技术的评价。‎ ‎12．What equipment do we need for virtual reality?‎ A．A keyboard, a headset and a supercomputer.‎ B．A headset, data gloves and a supercomputer.‎ C．A headset, data gloves and a speech recognition.‎ D．A keyboard, a mouse and a speech recognition.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“you probably picture something like this: a man ... workstation or supercomputer”可知“虚拟现实”所需要的硬件设备有耳机、数据手套和超级电脑，故B项正确。‎ ‎13．What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?‎ A．The advantages of virtual reality.‎ B．The influences of virtual reality.‎ C．The importance of virtual reality.‎ D．The applications of virtual reality.‎ 解析：选D　段落大意题。通读第三段可知，第三段最后一句“All these things are obvious candidates for virtual reality applications.”为该段的主题句，据此可知，该段主要介绍了“虚拟现实”在各个领域的应用，故D项正确。‎ ‎14．What is the writer's attitude towards VR?‎ A．Cautious. B．Appreciative.‎ C．Doubtful. D．Uninterested.‎ 解析：选B　观点态度题。本文第一段介绍了“虚拟现实”的作用；第三段介绍了“虚拟现实”在各个领域的应用；文章最后一句给出了作者的观点：正如许多技术一样，“虚拟现实”不会从现实世界中带走什么，如果你不想用可以不用。据此可知，作者对“虚拟现实”是欣赏的，故B项正确。‎ ‎15．According to the passage, virtual reality means ________.‎ A．experiencing things that don't really exist B．creating something that doesn't exist C．imagining beautiful things in our mind D．cloning something that has died out 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段尤其是第三句“Unlike real reality, virtual reality means simulating (模仿) bits of our world.”可知，“虚拟现实”是一种可以让人们体验到不存在的事物的技术，故A项正确。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 ‎(2018·宁夏银川市重点中学高三模拟)Coming facetoface with your inadequacies (缺点) can be painful, to say the least. __1__ It even makes you question yourself.
