But if you’re prepared to look for them, you’ll find some smaller, odder films flying beneath the radar.‎ Book Club (May 18): A great quartet（四人组）of actresses (Diane Keaton, Jane Fonda, Candice Bergen, Mary Steenburgen) headline this comedy about a book club that gets back into a romantic mood after reading Fifty Shades Of Grey. It sounds ridiculous, but if that is a hook for a romantic comedy, it will be trying something new.‎ Tag (June 15): This comedy looks like it might share some DNA with The Hangover, as a group of friends reunite over the years to play a never-ending game of tag—Jeremy Renner, Jon Hamm, Hannibal Buress, Jake Johnson, Ed Helms, Leslie Bibb, Rashida Jones ‎ and Isla Fisher star. In other words: a lot of people we already know are funny, plus Jeremy Renner!‎ Uncle Drew (June 29): The attraction is that a young guy (Lil Rel Howery) has to renew a team of old men—played by NBA legends in old-age makeup—to play alongside his Uncle Drew (Kyrie Irving) in a big neighborhood game. This is such a strange idea for a comedy that I cannot wait to see it. Stars include Shaquille O’ Neal, Nate Robinson, Chris Webber, Lisa Leslie, Reggie Miller, J.B. Smoove and an up-and-coming comedy actress, Tifany Haddish.‎ Skyscraper (July 13): It wouldn’t be an action-movie season without Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson running off a crane（起重机）and leaping in a way that in reality would result in certain death but that in a movie results in a safe landing! I’m not here to tell you it’s more than it appears. I’m here to tell you it’s probably exactly as it appears. It comes out on July 13, so perhaps on the hottest day of the summer, forget your troubles and see The Rock save his family.‎ ‎21. Which film can you enjoy this May?‎ A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.‎ ‎22. What is strange about Uncle Drew?‎ A. A lot of people in old-age makeup are very funny.‎ B. A young man has to employ some NBA legends to play in a game.‎ C. Some current NBA superstars will star in the film.‎ D. The author cannot wait to see the film.‎ ‎23. Which film is not a comedy?‎ A. Book Club. B. Tag. C. Uncle Drew. D. Skyscraper.‎ B Here’s a simple challenge: name a famous inventor. Perhaps Leonardo da Vinci springs to mind. Or the pioneer of the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell. But you might be hard-pressed to name many female inventors, even though women are behind some of the most widely used technologies in the modern world.‎ For example, where would we be without the windscreen wiper? Back on a freezing winter’s day in 1902, Mary Anderson was traveling by tram through New York city.‎ ‎ Snow was falling, forcing the driver to stop repeatedly and get out to clear it. Each time the door opened, Mary suffered. She had a brainwave: why not make something that could be operated from inside the vehicle? And that’s exactly what she did.‎ Let’s step in from freezing New York for our next invention. The dishwasher dates back even earlier to the 19th Century, and to the dinner parties thrown by a lady called Josephine Cochrane. As a frequent host, she wanted a machine that could wash dishes faster than people. Her response was to develop what was to become the first commercially successful dishwasher.‎ Need something to do while the dishwasher is on? How about a round of Monopoly（强手棋游戏）? One of the most popular board games around, the rules were first drawn up by a lady called Elizabeth Magie, and patented in 1904.‎ To an altogether different kind of innovation: Kevlar is the lightweight fibre used in bulletproof（防弹）vests. The material is used by millions every day and has saved countless lives and is strength-lo-weight ratio is five times higher than steel.‎ Finally, one of the most important inventions of the 20th Century must surely be the computer programme. The world of programming is unbalanced among men and women, with men taking home around 30% more pay than their female partners on average. But back in the 1940s and 50s, women were at the forefront of this new field and Grace Hopper was one of them.‎ ‎24. What do we know about the inventions mentioned in the text?‎ A. They were mostly made in the 20th century.‎ B. They all used high technology.‎ C. Their inventors came from families of good education.‎ D. They were all made by accident.‎ ‎25. Why did Mary Anderson invent windscreen wiper?‎ A. The winter was extremely cold there.‎ B. She was forced to clear the snow by others.‎ C. The car she drove made her suffer a great deal.‎ D. She was sick of the driver getting out to clear the window.‎ ‎26. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the text?‎ A. Josephine Cochrane wanted a machine that operated automatically.‎ B. The game invented by Magie was popular merely among teenagers.‎ C. Kevlar is the super tough fibre and stronger than steel.‎ D. Grace Hopper was good at computer programming.‎ ‎27. What is the best title of this passage?‎ A. Women can be Great Inventors B. The Most Useful Inventions by Women C. The Most Widely Used Technologies D. Women Made Greater Contributions than Men C What do you call your partner—darling, sweetheart, babe? I have been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish.” No, I’m not a supernatural, shape-shifting creature or a character in a children’s storybook. I’ve just been in a few relationships where affectionate nicknames appeared as inside jokes.‎ Plenty of my friends have developed nicknames with their romantic partners. I asked the question on Facebook and got all kinds of answers: former boyfriends who knew each other as “Tiger and Teddy.” An American man who dated a Chinese woman told me he called her “Popo”, which means “wife” or “broken broken,” depending on your intonation and she called him “Benben,” which he says means something like “dumb dumb,” referring to his poor mastery of the Chinese language at the time.‎ There seems to be a variety of languages with pet names, too. According to the website of the popular language-learning software Rosetta Stone, the French say “Mon Petit Chou” (my little cabbage or cream puff), the Russians say “Vishenka” (cherry), the Dutch call girlfriends “Dropje” (candy) and in Brazil you can say “Meu Chuchu,” where “chuchu” is a vegetable. In Spain I heard the term “Media Naranja,” meaning half-orange, suggesting that the romantic partners are two halves of the whole.‎ Is there any science behind using pet names? Is it a mark of a healthy relationship, or unhealthy? Are couples who give each other names, ranging from the generic “Honey” and “Sweetie” to the creative “Loopy Lop,” more likely to stay together? And in our digital age, are these nicknames any more important?‎ From what has been studied, and from the experience of several experts, it seems nicknames can be a good thing for a relationship—if both partners are into it.‎ ‎28. Why has the writer been called a little owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”?‎ A. Because he looks like a owl, a swan and even a “panda-fish”.‎ B. Because he is a supernatural, shape-shifting creature.‎ C. Because nicknames arose as inside jokes in his relationships.‎ D. Because he loves a character in a children’s storybook.‎ ‎29. What did the Chinese woman mean by calling her American boyfriend “Benben”?‎ A. Her boyfriend had a different intonation.‎ B. Her boyfriend had a weak mastery of Chinese.‎ C. She thought the man was very stupid.‎ D. She thought it was a lovely nickname.‎ ‎30. For what purpose do romantic partners in Spain call each other “Media Naranja”?‎ A. To introduce half-orange.‎ B. To show their love for pet names.‎ C. To mean they are both fat.‎ D. To suggest they are two halves of the whole.‎ ‎31. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?‎ A. Couples who give each other nicknames are certain to stay together.‎ B. There must be science behind using pet names.‎ C. Partners who enjoy their nicknames can keep healthy relationships.‎ D. Nicknames are no longer important in our digital age.‎ D Driverless cars are the best-known example of how artificial intelligence is influencing daily life in China, according to a new report on social attitudes toward AI technology that was released at Fudan University on May 17.‎ Based on the responses of 625 questionnaires made by Fudan University’s National Center for Cultural Innovation Research and the communication and data science laboratory, the report states that nearly 90 percent of the respondents are familiar with driverless cars, with over 67, percent having access to both positive and negative ‎ information on cars. About 62 percent of the respondents said they were willing to ride in driverless cars. Meanwhile, around 47 percent were supportive of unmanned vehicle road tests in the country. However, more than 30 percent of the respondents expressed their concerns about the safety of driverless cars.‎ If personal injuries or property loss are suffered in the event of an accident, 80.5 percent of the respondents said that the designers of the AI products should bear legal responsibility while 55.5 percent said that vehicle users should also shoulder the blame.‎ Smart cars with partial or fully autonomous functions are expected to account for 50 percent of new vehicles sold in China by 2020.According to the blueprint released by the National Development and Reform Commission in January, the country is aiming to become a global power in smart-car development and production by 2035.‎ ‎“One cannot ignore the risks and ethics issues brought up by artificial intelligence technology,” said Sun Shaojing, director of the Communication and Data Science Laboratory of the National Center for Cultural Innovation Research at Fudan University, “Policies should be strengthened to ensure a balanced development of ethics and science, especially for some fast-growing applications like driverless cars.”‎ ‎32. What do we know about the responses of 625 questionnaires?‎ A. More than half of the people surveyed were willing to ride in driverless cars.‎ B. Nearly 90% knew both positive and negative information on cars.‎ C. Unmanned vehicle road tests were hardly supported in the country.‎ D. Few people were concerned about the safety of driverless cars.‎ ‎33. Who should take responsibility if an accident happened to a driverless car?‎ A. The designers of the AI products.‎ B. Both AI products designers and vehicle users.‎ C. Policy makers who regulate the use of driverless cars.‎ D. It hasn’t been decided yet.‎ ‎34. What does the underlined word “autonomous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?‎ A. high-tech B. advanced C. self-directed D. useful ‎35. What do Sun Shaojing’s words suggest in the last paragraph?‎ A. We should mainly focus on the benefit that driverless cars bring to us.‎ B. Effective policies and rules are needed with appliances fast growing.‎ C. Risks and ethics issues brought up by AI cannot be avoided.‎ D. Driverless cars play a significant role in AI technology.‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ A couple of years ago, when my older daughter was 8,she gently told my wife and me that she’d gotten too old for us to read her books anymore. We didn’t try to talk her out of it or tell her many benefits of reading aloud to a child (even after they can do so themselves). 36 ‎ Two weeks after stopping our bedtime readings, though, my older daughter asked whether we could start again. 37 As she later explained, “Everyone likes to be read to, even adults.” We’ve continued uninterrupted since. Right now, we’re deep into Philip Pullman’s “The Golden Compass.”‎ ‎ 38 In most of the studies, people found that reading aloud appeared to strengthen parents’ feelings of competence, improve the quality of their relationships with their children and even reduce parental stress or depression.‎ Reading aloud to children improves a young mind’s cognitive development (thinking, problem-solving, decision-making) and reduces behavior problems, research shows. As with playing board games, reading to them increases concentration and attention spans.‎ And yet, too many of us stop before the kids want us to. 39 ‎ The conversations children have around themes and ideas in books help them make sense of the world. And it’s a joyful way to connect and be close with your kid. While reading in bed, my daughters and I lie next to each other, sometimes leaning into one another. 40 It’s as high a quality as quality time gets.‎ A. She simply enjoyed the practice too much to let it go yet.‎ B. When she was a young child, we began a nearly daily reading called Milk & Books.‎ C. We were disappointed but respected her.‎ D. Reading aloud was significantly beneficial to children and their parents.‎ E. In Australia, more than a third of children aged 6 to 1l whose parents had stopped reading to them wanted to continue.‎ F. We laugh and are surprised together and have deep conversations about the novels.‎ G. It’s one of the most virtuous circles of parenting and teaching.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ Yassi was a very capable student. She did not have a single day of absence last year. All the teachers knew this and 41 her many times in front of others.‎ They did not know that Yassi had type II Diabetes（糖尿病）and sometimes fainted.

It is an effort to focus attention on 61 fact that despite there being enough food globally, some 21,000 people die every day from hunger.‎ People do not go hungry because the world does not produce enough food for everyone. According to the world Hunger Education Service, recently the percentage of people 62 cannot get enough food chronically（长期地）has reduced from 34% to 15%. The main problem is that many people in the world still do not have resources 63 (purchase) or grow enough food.‎ Indeed, hunger 64 (be) a result of poverty, and also one of its causes. Hunger exists because many countries lack social safety nets; because in many countries women, although they do most of the farming, do not have as much access 65 men to training or land.‎ Over the past decade, a global push to reduce hunger and extreme poverty 66 (mark) some significant successes, thanks in part 67 the efforts of numerous international 68 (organization). But on world Hunger Day, let us not forget that with over 815,000 people still 69 (live) in daily food insecurity, we still have a long way to go before we can 70 (safe) say that no child goes to bed hungry most nights.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 单词短语考查（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 根据首字母或汉语提示，选用所学单词或者短语的适当形式补全下面的句子，每空限填一词，并将答案填在答题区内。‎ ‎71.
