It has the most modern facilities B When I began my career as a jazz singer, I was told to start by covering the standards. But I didn’t follow the path most new jazz artists take and produced original albums instead. I believe ‎ when you have something to say, you can’t really keep it down. ‎ Two of those original albums, Liquid Spirit and Take Me To The Alley, earned me a loyal fan base and two Grammys for best jazz album in 2014 and 2017 respectively. ‎ My idol is Nat King Cole, whose music has an important place in our household. I could smell the greens on the stove and the cornbread in the oven when I hear Nat’s music. I wanted to have his music come through my body and sing it as an expression of appreciation for him. My mother had always been a fan of his music. This is something I did one day: Imagine her coming home from some protest movement or march and putting on, “Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking.” Imagine her putting on, “Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, start all over again.” I see the optimism and the strength in his music.‎ Writing from a personal experience can bring about my feelings and power of feelings that can be instantly connected to the instrument and my voice. When I sing Mother’s Song, Insanity, even Holding On, I am expressing things I have a connection to. ‎ The song Holding On is a soul song. It connects to Nat King Cole with its optimism, the optimism about the power and the strength of love. I like the fact that I can have 17 to 25-year-olds all over the world jumping and dancing to this song. They’re still getting the message.‎ ‎24.

His attitude toward social injustice. D. His memories of the good old days. ‎ ‎27. What conclusion can be drawn from the text? ‎ ‎ A. The dream of the writer’s mother has come true.‎ ‎ B. Nat King Cole’s jazz music highly valued by all.‎ ‎ C. The writer’s music is influencing young people. ‎ ‎ D. Optimism is the soul of the writer’s original songs ‎ C Since the 1970s, scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands to machines.‎ Recently, two researchers, Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.‎ In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right hand. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.‎ ‎“Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord（脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles（肌肉）,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external（外部的） world and also to control devices（设备）.”‎ The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and sends them to a computer. The computer interprets（解释） the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain. ‎ Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”‎ He says his team has set two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee（保证） that they can use the technology over long periods of time. ‎ ‎28. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? ‎ A. By controlling his muscles. B. By talking to the machine. ‎ C. By using his mind. D. By moving his hand. ‎ ‎29. Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5?‎ A. scalp→computer→cap→wheelchair. B. computer→cap→scalp→wheelchair.‎ C. scalp→cap→computer→wheelchair. D. cap→computer→scalp→wheelchair.‎ ‎30. The team will test with real patients to _____ . ‎ A. make profits from them B. learn about their physical condition C. make them live longer D. prove the technology useful to them ‎31. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled B. New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center D. Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries D ‎ We took a rare family road trip to the Adirondacks in late August, and it was as refreshing and exhausting（使精疲力尽的） as family vacations tend to be. Toward the end of our long drive home, even the kids were leaning forward in their seats urging my lead foot on. At that point in a road trip，even sixty-five miles per hour feels slow. We have become numb to our speed and numb to the road signs flashing by. ‎ ‎ My family lives on the edge of Lancaster County. Only thirty miles from home，I hit the brakes，‎ and we began to roll，slowly，behind a horse-drawn carriage. We began to open our eyes again.We saw familiar green hills and the farm with the best watermelons. I rolled down the windows, and we breathed again. Just-cut hay and a barn full of dairy cattle. ‎ ‎ At five miles per hour，you remember what you forget at sixty-five. You are thinking about a place，even when you are moving from place to place. ‎ ‎ I am a placemaker. A homemaker, too. I am a mother of a young kid at home，and also a writer and a gardener. But，for me，those roles are wrapped up with the one big thing I want to do with the rest of my life：I want to cultivate a place and share it with others. ‎ ‎ The place I make with my family is a red-brick farmhouse built in l880. It has quite a few nineteenth-century bedrooms and a few acres of land，and we love nothing more than to fill them with neighbors and friends. We grow vegetables and flowers，keep a baker’s dozen of egg—laying chickens，and，since we moved in three years ago，we have planted many，many trees. ‎ ‎ Living with my life’s purpose does not allow for much travel. I need to be here，feeding the chickens and watering the tomatoes. Any extra in the budget，and we spend it on trees.‎ ‎ But I learned something at the end of our family road trip. Travel can help me in the task of caring for my own place. When I slow down and pay attention to the road between here and there，travel tells me the connections between my place and all the other places. ‎ ‎32. What does the author try to express in the first paragraph? ‎ A . The tiredness of her past family life. ‎ B. The family’s eagerness to return home.‎ C. Her disappointment at the family road trip. ‎ D. Kids’ excitement at driving fast on the road. ‎ ‎33.Why did the author slow her car some miles from her home?‎ A. Because she made a way for a horse-drawn carriage.‎ B. Because she wanted to get rid of a fast-paced life.‎ C. Because she needed a break after the long drive. ‎ D. Because she enjoyed the scenery along the road.‎ ‎34. The underlined word “placemaker” in the 4th paragraph refers to someone who_______ .‎ A. is good at cultivating a place and sharing it with others ‎ B. is ready to help anyone in need in the community C. makes a creative design for others’ houses D. devotes most of his energy and time to building his house ‎35.What can be the best title of the passage? ‎ A. On the Way Home B. Never Travel again ‎ C. Escape from a Family Life D. Life on the Farm 第二节 七选五 (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。注意：E涂成AB F涂成CD G涂成ABC 其余正常 Christmas is a time for relaxing, having fun and spending time with family and friends. 36 It can be difficult to find the motivation for study when everyone around you is having so much fun. So, here are my top five tips for revising effectively over the Christmas break.‎ ‎•Set aside a few hours a day to revise.‎ Find the best time to revise and make sure that you stick to your timetable! For example, I find that I work best in the morning. 37 ‎ ‎•Plan something fun to do every day.‎ Even if it’s just going for coffee with a friend or watching a film at home, this will give you something to look forward to and motivate you to finish your revision.‎ ‎•Explain to your family why your revision is important.‎ ‎ 38 So, make efforts to tell them why your exams are important. Perhaps you can agree to do something nice with them when your exams are over.‎ ‎• 39 ‎ It is important to take some time to relax. When you do get back to revising, you’ll probably find it easier to concentrate. Pick the most important days for you and your family to concentrate on celebrating Christmas!‎ ‎•Remember that it won’t last forever.‎ You might have to spend your Christmas revising this year, and perhaps for a few more years, but soon enough you’ll be free of exams forever. 40 Have a great Christmas and make sure you find a balance between studying and celebrating. Good luck with your exams!‎ A. Spare your time for your family.‎ B. Make sure that you take a few days off!‎ C. So I get up fairly early and do a few hours of revision.‎ D.
