As we 41 our coffee, two men entered and sat on an empty table beside us.‎ They 42 the waiter and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the 43 . We heard this order with great 44 and observed that they were served with two cups of coffee 45 they paid for three. As soon as they left, the waiter ‎46 a piece of paper on the wall saying A Cup of Coffee.‎ It 47 that the matter was normal at this place. However, it was something 48 for Tony and me. Since we had nothing to do with the matter, we 49 our coffee, paid the bill and left. ‎ After a few days, we again got a 50 to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man entered. The way this man was dressed did not 51 the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was 52 from the looks on his face. As he 53 himself, he looked at the wall and said, “one cup of coffee 54 the wall.” The waiter served coffee to this man with 55 , politeness and warmth.‎ After a few minutes, the man finished his coffee and left 56 paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter ‎57 a piece of paper from the wall and 58 it in the dust bin.‎ Now it was no surprise to us 59 because the matter was very clear.

I seek friends whose qualities illuminate (照亮) me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share.‎ When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say, “Let's start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.‎ When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.‎ For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in  the other's  dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think “Yes. I must tell. . .” We have never met.‎ It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind means more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.‎ ‎61. In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to________. ‎ A. become serious about her study B. go to her friend's house regularly C. learn from her classmates at school D. share poems and stories with her friend    ‎ ‎62. In Paragraph 3, “We gave London to each other” probably means _________. ‎ A. our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of us B. we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from London C. our unpleasant feeling about London disappeared D. we parted with each other in London ‎63. According to Paragraph 4, the author and her friend_________. ‎ A. call each other regularly B. have similar personalities C. enjoy writing to each other D. dream of meeting each other ‎64. In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to________. ‎ A seek professional help        B. be left alone C. stay with her best friend      D. break the silence ‎65. What is the best title for the passage? ________.‎ A. Unforgettable Experiences B. Remarkable Imagination C. Lifelong Friendship D. Noble Companions B Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent (聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside those matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.       It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every ‎ time.       There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial (空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to! ‎ ‎     The differences begin when fetuses (胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors (祖先), among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research. If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.‎ ‎66. What does the passage mainly tell us?‎ A. that brain differences are related to our ancestors B. the changes in brain throughout our lives C. that men are better at spatial tasks D. the difference between men’s and women’s brains ‎67. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?‎ A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s.  B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.  C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.  D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.‎ ‎68. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?‎ A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.  B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.  C. Women do not need to tell directions.  D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.‎ ‎69. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?‎ A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.  B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills. C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.  D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.‎ ‎70. What is the writer's attitude in writing this passage? ‎ A. Defensive. B. Persuasive.  C. Supportive.  D. Objective.‎ ‎ ‎ C The Alpha Go programs victory is an example of how smart computers have become. But can artificial intelligence (AI) machines act ethically, meaning can they be honest and fair?‎ One example of AI is driverless cars. They are already on California roads, so it is not too soon to ask whether we can program a machine to act ethically. As driverless cars improve, they will save lives. They will make fewer mistakes than human drivers do. Sometimes, however, they will face a choice between lives. Should the cars be programmed to avoid hitting a child running across the road, even if that will put their passengers at risk? What about making a sudden turn to avoid a dog? What if the only risk is damage to the car itself, not to the passengers? ‎ Perhaps there will be lessons to learn from driverless cars, but they are not super-intelligent beings. Teaching ethics to a machine even more intelligent than we are will be the bigger challenge.‎ About the same time as Alpha Go’s triumph, Microsoft’s ‘chatbot’ took a bad turn. the software, named Taylor, was designed to answer messages from people aged 18-24. Taylor was supposed to be able to learn from the messages she received. She was designed to slowly improve her ability to handle conversations, but some people were teaching Taylor racist ideas. When she started saying nice things about Hitler, Microsoft turned her off and deleted her ugliest messages.‎ ‎ Alpha Go’s victory and Taylor’s defeat happened at about the same time. This should be a warning to us. It is one thing to use AI within a game with clear rules and clear goals. it is something very different to use AI in the real world. The unpredictability of the real world may bring to the surface a troubling software problem.‎ ‎ Eric Schmidt is one of the bosses of Google, which owns Alpha Go. He thinks AI will be positive for humans. He said people will be the winner, whatever the outcome. Advances in AI will make human beings smarter, more able and “just better human beings.”‎ ‎71. What does the author want to show with the example of AlphaGo's victory? A. Computers will prevail over human beings. B. Computers have unmatched potential. C.‎ ‎ Computers are man's potential rivals. D. Computers can become highly intelligent.‎ ‎72. What does the author mean by AI machines acting ethically? A. They are capable of predicting possible risks. B. They weigh the gains and losses before reaching a decision. C. They make sensible decisions when facing moral dilemmas. D. They sacrifice everything to save human lives.‎ ‎73. What is said to be the bigger challenge facing humans in the AI age? A. How to make super-intelligent AI machines share human feelings. B. How to ensure that super-intelligent AI machines act ethically. C. How to prevent AI machines doing harm to humans. D. How to avoid being over-dependent on AI machines.‎ ‎74. What do we learn about Microsoft's “chatbot” Taylor? A. She could not distinguish good from bad. B. She could turn herself off when necessary. C. She was not made to handle novel situations. D. She was good at performing routine tasks.‎ ‎75. What does Eric Schmidt think of artificial intelligence? A. It will be far superior to human beings. B. It will keep improving as time goes by. C. It will prove to be an asset to human beings. D. It will be here to stay whatever the outcome.‎ D 根据短文内容，从下框A ~ F选项中选出能概括每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。‎ A. Set Daily Goals B. Gather Stress-Reducing Tools C. Keep Your Mind Sharp D. Compare Yourself Only with Yourself E. Note Your Blessings F. Tips on Relief ‎ More and more research has shown the connection between the mind and body. Have a positive view on life, and you can promote your health. Learn to laugh off everyday stresses and you can avoid some sickness. Happiness is an objective: your setting goals and working to achieve them thus create happiness in yourself.‎ The best thing, though: You can think yourself to be a happier and healthier self. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 76. ‎ Here’s an easy trick to avoid stress when misfortune hits: Take a deep breath, think about the situation, and then list a few things you can do. Tell yourself that you will take what steps you can and that in the near future, the situation will work out. Furthermore, don't feel guilty for easing up. Program a break reminder into your smart phone, give attention to the beeps, and grab a friend for coffee.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 77. ‎ You need a sense of accomplishment every day to strengthen your own belief in yourself. These goals could be small, such as walking to visit a friend or a part of a larger goal, such as cleaning out the basement. Your physical and emotional surroundings can influence your stress levels in delicate but significant ways.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ 78. ‎ Gaining a better title will earn you more respect at work and in the world at large, right? Life would be better with more money, more time off, and more meaningful work, wouldn’t it? Well, maybe not. ‎ Don’t think that others’ fortunes or misfortunes should be yours. Focus on your situation in the context of your life, not of those around you. Measuring against yourself and optimistic thinking allows you to set realistic goals for the future, too. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎79. ‎ When you're stressed, you don't always take care of your bodies, which can lead to even more stress. Readily having stress relievers can help you keep away unhealthy stress. These would be fresh flowers, peppermint (薄荷) or vanilla（香草味）candles, pictures of people you love. Other stress relievers: Photographs of peaceful vacations, works of art or even a sign that reads “Breathe.”‎ ‎ ‎ ‎80. ‎ Recognizing the many things you have to be thankful for they can strengthen you mentally. Don’t leave anything out. Include even small things in your list, such as remembering an umbrella on a rainy day. Make copies of your list and put one in your bedroom, the kitchen and car. Whenever you feel sorry for your fate, pull out the list and remind yourself what you have to be thankful for. Studies have found the act of focusing on the positive helps people remember reasons to be glad.‎ 第三节　短文改错（共9小题；每小题1分，满分9分）‎ 文中共有9处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 ‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。 ‎ 删除：把多余的词用(＼)划掉。 ‎ 修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 ‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； ‎ ‎2． 只允许修改9处，多者（从第10处起）不计分。 ‎ When Li Hua decided to take part in the 3000-metre race, everyone was very surprised.
