She is a scientist at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. “What we define as pain usually has to do with a nervous system,” Steppuhn explains. When you put your hand too close to a hot stove, nerve cells send a signal to your brain. Your brain decodes (解码) that signal as pain. This causes you to pull your hand away before any serious damage is done.‎ ‎ Plants don’t have nerves or brains, so they can’t feel pain like we do. “But plants do recognize when something is hurting them,” Steppuhn says. Because they are rooted to the ground, they can’t escape a dangerous situation. So they need other ways of fighting back.‎ The biggest threat to a plant’s life is getting eaten. Some plants grow sharp little hairs. Other plants produce bad-tasting or even harmful chemicals. These force an attacker to abandon its meal. A plant called bittersweet nightshade does something even smarter, Steppuhn found. When a slug (蛞蝓) chews holes in a nightshade’s leaf, liquid begins dropping around the wound. It is almost as if the plant were bleeding. The liquid is sugary nectar (花蜜), and it happens to be a favorite food of ants. In their effort to collect the nectar, the ants gather all over the injured plants. They will attack anything that stands in their way. That includes the slug that damaged the plant in the first place. It’s a very clever trick. Whenever a slug attacks a plant, the plant calls an army of ants to kill the slug.‎ Nectar isn’t the only way plants attract bodyguards. They also release certain chemicals into the air when they are being eaten. People usually can’t find these smells. But wasps (黄蜂) can. When a wasp notices this cry for help, it races to the scene of the crime. If it finds the right kind of insect chewing down on the plant, the wasp will interrupt the attacker’s meal. It will do this by laying eggs inside the insect’s body.‎ ‎24. Why do plants feel pain differently from us?‎ A. They don’t know whether they’re hurt. B. They face different kinds of danger.‎ C. They don’t have nervous systems. D. They have slow response to pain.‎ ‎25. What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. Ants. B. Slugs. C. Plants. D. Wasps.‎ ‎26. Why do some plants need wasps?‎ A. To help them call bodyguards. B. To keep them safe from attackers.‎ C. To let wasps lay eggs on their leaves. D. To let their smells spread into the air.‎ ‎27. What is the text mainly about?‎ A. How plants feel pain. B. How plants attract insects.‎ C. How plants defend themselves. D. How plants attack small animals.‎ C On November 7, Lewis Pugh completed a one-kilometer swim in the freezing waters of King Edward Cove, off South Georgia in Antarctica. He was wearing only his swimming glasses, cap and Speedos (速度计).‎ Pugh is an advocate (提倡者) for our oceans and seas, working to protect these ecosystems (生态系统) with their large diversity of sea life. When asked why he doesn’t wear a wetsuit, Lewis says, “I ask world leaders to do everything they can to protect our oceans. Sometimes the steps they need to take are difficult and unpopular. If I’m asking them to be courageous, I must also be. Swimming in a wetsuit would not send the right message.”‎ It took Pugh about 19 minutes to complete the one-kilometer swim in Antarctica where the water averaged about 1.6 degrees Celsius. He says that his body can only tolerate about 20 minutes in the freezing waters before it starts shutting down. As he swims, his body temperature steadily drops, which in turn causes his muscle control to drop, slowing him down. When he is done with his swim, his support team rushes him to a hot shower and it takes almost an hour for his body temperature to ‎ return to normal.‎ Doctors and Pugh warn that one must receive months of training to swim in such cold waters. Even expert swimmers who are unused to freezing water can drown within minutes because of the physical shock experienced by the body. Pugh says he trained for six months before this swim.‎ This is not the first time that Lewis has swum in dangerous conditions. In 2007, he swam one kilometer in the North Pole to draw attention to the melting Arctic ice due to the climate change. In 2015, he swam in the Bay of Whales in Antarctica’s Ross Sea as part of his successful campaign to help set up a sea life reserve (保护中心) there.‎ ‎28. Why did Lewis Pugh swim without a wetsuit?‎ A. To swim faster. B. To protect the ecosystems. ‎ C. To win public attention. D. To show his bravery.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A. His body temperature. B. His muscle. ‎ C. His body. D. The water temperature.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, if one is going to swim in freezing waters, he .‎ A. should be expert at swimming ‎ B. should be ready to take on challenges C. must be trained professionally D. must be used to long-distance swimming ‎31. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. Tips for protecting oceans and seas B. Lewis Pugh: swimming for a cause C. Tips for extreme swimming D. Lewis Pugh: achieving the impossible D Many leading AI researchers think that in a matter of decades, artificial intelligence will be able to do not merely some of our jobs, but all of our jobs,‎ ‎ forever changing life on Earth.‎ The reason why many reject this as science fiction is that we’ve traditionally thought of intelligence as something mysterious that can only exist in biological organisms, especially humans. But such an idea is unscientific.‎ From my point of view, as a physicist and AI researcher, intelligence is simply a certain kind of information-processing performed by elementary particles (基本粒子) moving around, and there is no law of physics that says one can’t build machines more intelligent than us in all ways. This suggests that we’ve only seen the tip of the intelligence iceberg and that there is an amazing potential to unlock the full intelligence that is potential in nature and use it to help humanity.‎ If we get it right, the upside is huge. Since everything we love about civilization is the product of intelligence, amplifying (扩大) our own intelligence with AI has the potential to solve tomorrow’s toughest problems. For example, why risk our loved ones dying in traffic accidents that self-driving cars could prevent or dying of cancers that AI might help us find cures for? Why not grow productivity and prosperity（繁荣） through automation and use AI to accelerate our research and development of affordable sustainable (可持续的) energy?‎ I’m optimistic that we can develop rapidly with advanced AI as long as we win the race between the growing power of our technology and the wisdom with which we manage it. But this requires giving up our outdated strategy of learning from mistakes. That helped us win the race with less powerful technology: We messed up with fire and then invented fire extinguishers (灭火器), and we messed up with cars and then invented seat belts. However, it’s an awful strategy for more powerful technologies, such as nuclear weapons or superintelligent AI — where even a single mistake is unacceptable and we need to get things right the first time. ‎ ‎32. How do many people feel about leading AI researchers’ predictions?‎ ‎ A. Doubtful. B. Optimistic. C. Curious. D. Disappointed.‎ ‎33. What can we infer about intelligence according to the writer?‎ A. It is too difficult to understand.     B. It only belongs to human ‎ beings.‎ C. We know little about it.   D. We have a good command of it.‎ ‎34. Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “upside” in Paragraph 4?‎ A. Intelligence.    B. Advantage. C. Potential. D. Cost.    ‎ ‎35. How can we win the race between people and technology?‎ A. By increasing our intelligence.    B. By learning from mistakes. ‎ C. By making accurate predictions. D. By avoiding making mistakes.  ‎ 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。 ‎ If you truly want to become a great singer, you must practice using your singing voice. Here’s some advice that can put you on the right track.‎ Where should I practice?‎ ‎ 36 Your practice space can be anywhere in your home where you can be alone and concentrate. This practice space doesn’t have to be the size of a football stadium. You simply need space to move around comfortably during the warm-up or when you create the scene for your song.‎ What’s the best time to practice?‎ Schedule a specific time for practicing each day. If the practice time is allotted (留出) on your calendar, you’re more likely to practice. 37 Many singers practice more effectively at night because of their body clocks. If your home is usually overwhelmed (应接不暇) with friends comings and goings in the evening or early morning hours, then you may want to schedule a time in the middle of the day. 38 ‎ How long should I practice?‎ The length of the practice period depends on your level of expertise. Someone ‎ who is new to singing can benefit from practicing 15 to 20 minutes a day. 39 However, quality practice is better than quantity. Focusing for 20 minutes of creative practice is better than unfocused practice for an hour.‎ Improvement happens with frequent practice. 40 Set goals for each practice period for consistent progress.‎ A. The number one question is about location.‎ B. You can’t expect to practice once and be perfect.‎ C. Decide if you’re a morning person or an evening person.‎ D. Gradually increase the practice time to 30 to 60 minutes per day.‎ E. If your voice is tired after 20 minutes, rest for a time and sing again later.‎ F. Leave the space set up so that everything is ready each day for practicing.‎ G. To increase your concentration, turn off the TV during your practice time.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完型填空 （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四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ For most fourteen-year-old girls living in a border town, the world revolves (旋转) around quinceaneras (celebrations of a girl’s fifteenth birthday). 41 there was no mention of such a(n) 42 in my household.
