第一节(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Twelve years ago, I was a 19-year-old guy living in the French Alps. In February 2004, while skiing the back-country in Val d’Isère, I fell off the mountain, resulting in a right leg broken in several pieces. I was helicoptered to hospital, operated on immediately – and there started my adult life.
Before the accident, I was on a path to what I hoped would be a career in rugby. Afterwards, any participation in impact (碰撞) sport was gone. I found a replacement in cycling. Unfortunately, by late 2012, I tried to cycle up Mount Ventoux, but it was halfway up when the pain hit me and I gave up.
A decision needed to be made on a next step. I had to have my lower right leg cut off. Several months later, I had my first proper weight-bearing prosthetic (假肢). I jumped on a train with my bike to Mount Ventoux. Though it certainly wasn’t my quickest, I did it.
Two weeks later, I was lucky enough to be given a running blade; I bounced on it that day and then raced my first triathlon on the Monday. So, that was me, up and running – almost 12 years since I had last run.
Along with my running coach, I complete a “make every kilometre count” programme of four runs per week alongside a busy cycle, swim and gym schedule. So far this year, I have raced a 10k with an unexpected personal best in January of 38:04. I have my first speed triathlon in late March before heading to North Korea to compete in the Pyongyang Marathon on 10 April.
If my lifetime allows, I will attempt to race in every country in the world. In the meantime, I’ll keep on running – and, when it hurts and I’m low on motivation, I’ll remember how far I’ve come and how much further I’ve got to go.
21. What would the author like to be before the accident?
A. A skiing athlete. B. A cyclist. C. A rugby player. D. A runner.
22. Which is TRUE about the author?
A. He fell off Mount Ventoux while skiing.
B. He managed to top Mount Ventoux twice.
C. His lower right leg wasn’t removed at first.
D. His training programme includes 7 items.
23. What does the author wish to do?
A. Participate in impact sport.
B. Cycle up Mount Ventoux again.
C. Compete in the Pyongyang Marathon.
D. Race in every country.
24. Which of the following best describes the author?
A. Determined. B. Considerate. C. Generous. D. Enthusiastic.
B
Machines could put more than half the world’s population out of work in the next 30 years,
according to a computer scientist who said on Saturday that artificial intelligence’s threat (威胁) to the global economy should not be ignored. Physicist Stephen Hawking and the tech billionaires Bill Gates and Elon Musk issued a similar warning last year.
Moshe Vardi, a professor at Rice University, said that AI (artificial intelligence) could drive global unemployment to 50%. He said the AI revolution will not be a matter of physically powerful machines that do better than human laborers, but rather a contest between human wisdom and mechanical intelligence and strength.
In his talk, Vardi referred to economist John Maynard Keynes’ rosy view of a future in which billions worked only a few hours a week, with intelligent machines to support their easy lifestyles – a prediction accepted by Google head of engineering Ray Kurzweil, who also believes that AI could bring about a promising future for mankind. Vardi insisted that even if machines make life easier, humanity will face an existential challenge. “I do not find this a promising future,” he said. “I believe that work is essential to human wellbeing.”
Last year, the consultant company McKinsey published research about which jobs are at risk thanks to intelligent machines, and found that some jobs – or at least well-paid careers like doctors – are better protected than others. The researchers also concluded that some low-paying jobs, including health care assistants, are also less likely to be changed than others. By comparison, they concluded that 20% of a CEO’s working time could be automated with existing technologies, and nearly 80% of a file clerk’s job could be automated. They argued that as much as 45% of the work people are paid to do could be automated by existing technology.
25. Who held a different opinion about AI’s influence?
A. Stephen Hawking. B. Ray Kurzweil. C. Elon Musk. D. Moshe Vardi.
26. What does the underlined word “rosy” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Similar. B. Amazing. C. Conservative. D. Optimistic.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. Advantages and Disadvantages of AI
B. AI’s Threat to Global Economy
C. How AI Replaces Human Workers
D. AI Could Leave Half of World Unemployed
28. Where does this text probably come from?
A. An advertisement. B. A job poster.
C. A newspaper. D. A science textbook.
C
Since eBay was started in 1995, its users have sold more than three billion items. Once in a blue moon, something truly priceless shows up. Seize the chance, or you’ll regret it.
① A ROCK OF MARS
Starting price: $450,000
Sold for: $450,000
There is little chance that a rock forming on Mars should be knocked into space and crash-land on Earth. In fact, of the roughly 60,000 meteorite specimens (陨石标本) known to science, only 124 are from Mars. A small piece from one of these was auctioned (拍卖) in 2003.
② ONE OF ALBERT EINSTEIN’S HANDWRITTEN LETTERS
Starting price: $3,000,000
Sold for: $3,000,100
In 1954, the great physicist penned an explicit letter to Jewish philosopher Erik Gutkind in which he defended his views on morality, religion, and human nature. Nearly six decades later, it caused a media sensation by showing up on eBay.
③ THE ORIGINAL “HOLLYWOOD” SIGN
Starting price: $300,000
Sold for: $450,400
Built in 1923 as a real estate (房地产) trick, the first set of oversize HOLLYWOOD letters overlooked L.A. until it was replaced by a newer group in 1978. The former landmark finally found a home after being auctioned off in 2005.
④ THE TOWN OF BRIDGEVILLE, CA
Starting price: $700,000
Status: SOLD—TWICE!
“You get an entire working town,” said a 2002 ad. “With the proper development, Bridgeville can become an economic power house.” A businessman appeared impressively by laying down $1.77 million but backed out of the deal upon actually visiting some of the town’s shabby homes. However, the town did find a new buyer, who resold it through eBay in 2006—this time for $1.25 million. Since then, Bridgeville has changed hands yet again (without eBay’s help).
29. What do we know about eBay?
A. It often sells truly priceless items.
B. Over 3 billion deals have been made on it.
C. It has a history of over 3 decades.
D. No item is sold at its starting price.
30. What can we learn from the text?
A. Rocks of Mars are rare on earth.
B. Einstein’s letter aroused a sensation in1954.
C. The “Hollywood” sign was auctioned in 1978.
D. Bridgeville was sold at $1.77 million.
31. How much do you need to pay for the original “Hollywood” sign?
A. At least $300,000. B. Exactly $450,400.
C. About $450,000. D. Over $450,400.
D
“One person, one vote” is a guiding principle of American democracy (民主). But its exact meaning continues to be debated. The U.S. Supreme Court (最高法院) recently decided one argument. In April, the court ruled that states can count all residents (居民) to set up election districts and not just those allowed to vote.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg wrote the decision. In the ruling, she provided a history lesson. In 1776, when the U.S. declared independence from Great Britain, only people who owned property could vote. It was not until 1920 that women won the right to vote. Black slaves were not permitted to vote. It took the Voting Rights Act of 1964 to end rules that stopped African-Americans from voting in some southern states. In 2016, children under 18 still cannot
vote. Nor can prisoners. But in the ruling, Ginsburg wrote the nation's founders believed everyone --- whether they voted or not – should be represented by their government. She said all people need government services. “Representatives serve all residents, not just those allowed to vote,” Ginsburg wrote. Michael Li works on voting rights issues for the Brennan Center for Democracy in New York. He said the Supreme Court ruling is important. “We fought a revolution over taxation without representation and early on in our history we decided that people should be represented the same way, whether they vote or can't vote,” Li said. Two Supreme Court Justices – Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito — also voted with Ginsburg in the 8-0 ruling. But they said the ruling should have limited effects.
Thomas and Alito said the ruling means the states can draw election districts based on all residents -- not just voters. The ruling does not mean the states must do this. “The Constitution leaves the choice to the people alone – not to this court,” Thomas wrote.
32. What does the underlined word “ruling” most probably mean?
A. An official decision. B. A guiding principle.
C. A personal explanation. D. A court debate.
33. Who got the right to vote in 1964?
A. Women. B. Teenagers. C. Blacks. D. Prisoners.
34. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Thomas disagreed with Alito about the decision.
B. People understand “One person, one vote” differently.
C. Ginsburg provided a history lesson to the court.
D. States must count all residents to form election districts.
35. What does the author intend to tell us?
A. How the Supreme Court clarifies “One person, one vote”.
B. The guiding principle of American democracy.
C. The importance of the Supreme Court ruling.
D. Everyone should be represented by their government.
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。
Everyone has memories, but not all of the memories are sweet. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive (再体验) these experiences in frightening dreams.
Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. 36
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. 37 So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out.
38 Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.
Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after war. They say there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “ 39 They come back to you when you don’t want to have them in a frightening dream. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at
Harvard Medical School, “This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”
But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. 40
A. But they are significant to all of us.
B. Some memories can ruin people’s lives.
C. The research has caused a great deal of argument.
D. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
E. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.
F. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain.
G. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.

W: Oh, hello. I read about your club in the paper today and I thought I’d phone to find out a bit more.
M: Yes, certainly. Well, we are a sort of social club for people from different countries. It’s quite a new club — we have about 50 members at the moment, but we are growing all the time.
W: That sounds interesting. I’m British actually, and I came to Washington about three months ago. I’m looking for ways to meet people. Er,what kinds of events do you organize?
M: Well, we have social get-togethers, and sports events, and we also have language evenings.
W: Could you tell me something about the language evenings?
M: Yes. Every day except Thursday we have a language evening. People can come and practice their languages—you know, over a drink or something. We have different languages on different evenings. Monday—Spanish; Tuesday—Italian; Wednesday—German; and Friday —French. On Thursday we usually have a meal in a restaurant for anyone who wants to come.
W: Well, that sounds great. I really need to practice my French.
M: OK. Well, if you can just give me your name and address, I’ll send you the form and some more information. If you join now you can have the first month free.

W:My dear, it’s on the top floor!
M: That’s all right. We’ll get used to it. Besides, it is quiet up there. We’re a little further away from the street and traffic noise.
W: Is the place well-furnished?
M: Yes, and it’s pretty bright there and big enough for our children to play.
W: What about the kitchen?

M: Well, first, I’d like directions to go to Norwalk, where one of my colleagues lives.
W: Norwalk is about eighteen miles east of here. There's a wonderful little museum worth visiting.
M: Oh, good. Now what about Amityville? I'd like to visit some friends there and I also want to get to Newton to see my cousins. Are they near each other?
W: Hmm. Well, they are actually in opposite directions. Amityville is 35 miles northeast of here. And Newton is about fifty-five miles southwest from here.
M: Fifty-five miles southwest? Well, maybe I won't go there this time. Thank you. You've been very helpful.

Now that it is warmer, the days are getting longer and longer, and the sun is shining, you’re eager to get out of the house. But beaches are not open yet, so why not visit one of America’s 58 national parks? They have always been the perfect cheap getaway for families and adventurers.
While people still camp, hike, and enjoy the beauty of nature, they have to be more careful. A total of 1,025 people died in national parks from 2007 to 2013; 145 deaths in 2014, up from 129 in 2013. You may be lucky, but there can be hidden danger in some places.
Whether you are hiking, camping or simply taking a walk in the park, you must be properly equipped with things like a flashlight, matches, candles, extra batteries, and food — and be ready for the unexpected.
Poor judgment is usually what gets people in trouble. Check the weather forecast before setting out; it may be burning hot in some places, like the Grand Canyon, with temperatures easily climbing over 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pack your backpacks according to the nature of your trip. You can never be over prepared, especially if you plan a visit to one of the national parks on the following list…
