Some people find visiting ordinary museums to be a bit dull. Fortunately for them, there are unusual museums to check out, such as underwater museums!
How can you visit and what can you see?
Many underwater museums are supported by companies that offer guided tours. A trained guide leads groups around a stunning underwater display of statues in each museum. Depending on the depth of the museum, visitors may be able to view the sculptures from a glass bottomed boat or by swimming on the surface. Other underwater museums are deeper and are most accessible to scuba divers.
Why are the museums underwater?
Underwater museums have many functions. One of their aims is to create a man-made reef environment where sea creatures can live. That's why some of the museums are located in areas that were damaged by hurricanes or are considered underwater “deserts”. The statues in the museum are designed in a way that encourages the gmwih of coal and plant life. Over time. the statues and plants attract a growing number
of fish to the urea.
Florida,U.S.A
Florida is home to different types of underwater museums. The state's newest underwater museum, the Undenwater Museum of Art, can be found off the coast of Grayton Beach. This part of the Gulf Mexico is an underwater desert, so creators hope that the exhibit will improve the marine ecosystem.
Cancun, Mexico
For years, Cancun has been a popular tourist destination. And one of the major draws is the Water. The Museo Subacuatico de Arte is an ideal place for snorkelers and first-time divers. There they can enjoy more than 500 statues that help to make up a man-made reef.This museum was created to offer visitors a replacement for the areas natural reef, which has been damaged.
Canary Island，Spain

Beyonce Knowles can do something that many humans struggle with: sing and dance at the same time. But, it turns out this great ability is not unique to humans. The superb lyrebird, already known to be a gifted singer, can perform coordinated 协调的）song-and-dance routines(—套舞蹈动作)that put most humans to shame.
The superb lyrebird is one of only two lyrebird species living in Australia, the other named Albert’s lyrebird. Male lyrebirds have tails in the shape of an ancient musical instrument when spread out. Like most animals with beautiful body parts, the males use their tails to attract females. Each one sets up a small mound(小丘)on the forest floor, where he walks around proudly and sings. He also shows his tail by holding it over his head.
Lyrebirds are gifted mimics(模仿者)，so their songs combine their own calls, the songs of other species, and sounds they have heard in the forest. That would be enough showing off for other animals, but male superb lyrebirds also dance,
Anastasia Dalziell of the Australian National University in Canberra filmed 12 lyrebirds in the wild. She found that males only danced during four song types, and that each song type was accompanied by a specific move. “Lyrebirds match different dance styles to different types of songs, ”she says. For example, when the male sang a series of rapid notes he also stepped to the side and held his tail wide. Another song type was accompanied by jumping and moving up and down, with the tail held narrow.
“Our results suggest that the coordination between song and dance- -like movements we see in humans can occur in other animals，” says Dalziel!. Female lyrebirds might prefer males lhat are better at coordinating song and dance, although there is no evidence of that yet.
58 Beyonce Knowles is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to .
A. put most humans to shame
B. introduce the topic of lyrebirds
C. show the author’s admiration for her
D. share the experience of the famous singer
59.According to the passage, male lyrebirds attract females by .
A.performing on a mound and showing their tails
B.walking in the forest with the heads held up
C. having tails shaped like a musical instrument
D.singing and dancing with other male lyrebirds
60. What may Anastasia Dalziell agree with?
A.Both human beings and animals are born singers and dancers.
B.Female Albert s lyrebirds are fond of copying and showing off.
C. Male superb lyrebirds are gifted at coordinating song and dance,
D. Male lyrebirds can sing four songs, each accompanied by a move.
C
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology may soon be a useful tool for doctors. It may help them better understand and treat diseases like breast cancer in ways that were never before possible.
Rishi Rawat teaches AI at the University of Southern California’s (USC) Clinical Science Center in Los Angeles. He is part of a team of scientists who are researching how AI and machine learning can more easily recognize cancerous growths in the breast. Rawat provides information about cancer cells to a computer. He says this data helps the machine learn. “...You can put the data into them and they will learn the patterns and the pattern recognition that’s important to making decisions.”
David Agus is another USC researcher. He believes that “machines are not going to take the place of doctors. He adds, “Computers will not treat patients, but they will help make certain decisions and look for things that the human brain can’t recognize these patterns by itself.”
Once a confirmed cancerous growth is removed, doctors still have to treat the patient to reduce the risk of cancer returning. The form of treatment depends on the kind of cancer. CiuTently，researchers take a thin piece of tissue，put it on a small piece of glass and add color to better see the cells. This process could take days or even longer, Scientists say artificial intelligence can do something better than just count cells. Through machine learning, it can recognize complex patterns, or structures, and learn how the cells are organized. The hope is that machines will soon be able to make a quick diagnosis (诊断）of cancer that is free of human mistakes.
“All of a sudden, we have the computing power to really do it in real time”.We couldn't have done this，we didn’t have the computing power to do this several years ago, but now it’s all changed.” Agus adds that the process could be done “for almost
no cost in the developing world.He says that having a large amount of information about patients is important for a machine to effectively do its job in medicine.
A doctor faces a series of critical decisions every day. The best a doctor can do is to make those decisions as informed as possible. Some of them are still hard to make. A doctor can ask people of whom he values their opinions and that's it. Imagine discussing these with an AI system that is even more rational (理性的)than anyone else.
The University of Southern California researchers are now only studying breast cancer. But doctors predict artificial intelligence will one day make a difference in all forms of cancer.
61.According to Rawat and David Agus，AI can be used to .
A. take the place of doctors B. treat all forms of cancer
C.remove doctors’ mistakes D. help doctors diagnose cancer
62. From the passage, we learn that doctors may benefit from Al because it can .
A. use data to recognize patterns of cancer
B. decide on the form of cancer treatment
C. reduce the risk of cancer returning
D. monitor the medical procedure
63. does the underlined word “critical”in Paragraph 6 mean?
A.reliable B. important C. evident D. doubtful
64. What’s the best title for the passage?
A.How Do AI Systems Work? B.Can AI Cure Cancer?
C.Can AI Make Doctors Better? D.How Can Doctors Use AI?
D
In ray class in middle school, there was a girl who was considered the outcast of our class. No one actually knows how this exclusion originated, but we all followed it for no reason at all. One day after lunch, we girls sat on the track field，talking about little things that happened in our little lives. Someone brought her up，and soon the topic transformed to mocking the funny texture of her hair，the awkward way she walked and.... I felt extremely uncomfortable but kept silent, because I didn’t
want to be the one “supporting” the common enemy. After all, it’s just a mild ranting session among a trusted group of friends, why should I bring unnecessary tension?
Suddenly, one of my friends pointed her finger towards somewhere behind me. All of us turned around and saw that exact girl, hand still in the air, with a twisted look on her face. She lowered her hand in slow motion, blinked really hard for a few seconds, then turned around and ran off. For a second I wanted to stand up and chase her down to tell her that no one meant what they said, and that she is an amazing person being who she is. But my leas felt so heavy： I didn’t want to make a fool out of myself—why bother taking care of the class clown (小丑）? People would think that I was crazy as well!
No one spoke a word for a long time; we were all so caught up in our thoughts, I tried opening my mouth but couldn’t一no words were coming out. Then one person started talking about the weather, and all of us were more than glad to follow this flow.
A few weeks later, the teacher told us that a classmate dropped out of school—it was that girl. Her parents told the school that it was the peer pressure that made her want to leave. The teacher wanted to know who the bully was. Again，no one spoke a word. Perhaps it was exactly this cold, hard silence that drove her away. I certainly did not raise my hand 1 had never even said anything bad about her; it was my friends who loved to make fun of her awkwardness every day. Surely, I didn’t bully her physically or with my language, hut 1 kept silent when others did. By failing to stand up for her and offering her support，1 was giving tacit (心照不宜的）agreement. This agreement made others think that it was okay to mistreat her. because 4%no one cares anyways”. Perhaps f did realize I was bullying her- but by convincing myself that I had nothing to do with her leaving, I wouldn't have to bear the burden of heavy shame on my shoulders.
Real life is not like a Hollywood movie, and the protagonists don't always have the courage to compensate for our mistakes. In that classroom, my feet were glued to the ground once again.thinking of all the possibilities that could embarrass me in front of the whole class. What if she doesn't appreciate my effort and just walk
off? What if she misunderstands my actions as sympathy and gets upset? Worst of all, what if my own group mates disapprove of my decision? Am I really willing to risk my friendship just to help out one girl that I’ve seldom spoken to?
To be honest, I still don’t have answers to these questions. I don't know if the answers to those questions even exist. However, what I do know is that nothing will change if I keep thinking and never take actions. Talking to someone in need of support would mean the world to them, while it takes little to none effort for me. So what if those actions are under appreciated? At least I will be satisfied knowing that I did the right thing.
65.What can we conclude from the underlined sentences in Paragraph 2?
A. The author cared about others’ opinions.
B. The author’s legs gave out after running.
C. The author was fooled by the classmates.
D. D. The author didn't like the class clown.

第II卷（非选择题，共35分）
第四部分任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
请阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上每个空格只填一个单词。
Every January for the past 20 years, I have taken a few moments to consider the answer to the big question, “What is the meaning of life?”. The reason I ask this question year after year is that my answer changes over lime，which I find interesting and insightful. There is no objectively correct answer, 1 believe—only answers that are right for you at any given time. This question is so important—philosophically and practically in terms of how we live our lives- yet we are unable to really think about the answer.
Doing this simple exercise might even help you live longer. According to two separate studies one with 9,000 participants around age 65 and another with 6,000 people between 20 and 75- those who could explain I he meaning and purpose of their lives died later that those who saw their lives as aimless. It didn't seem to matter what meaning participants ascribed to their lives, whether it was persona! (such as happiness), or creutive (such us making art) It was having an answer to the question that mattercd. The connection to lougevity (长寿）、could be causal -having purpose may help one manage daily stress, its other research has shown. But it could also be that who think about life's meaning are more likely to do other activities that promote good health.
Great thinkes have given I he question thought. Leo Tolstoy wrote, “The sole meaning of life is to serve humanity.” Alber! Einstein said: “Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.” My favorite answer, though, is “The purpose
of life is a life of purpose.”
Some helve conclutled that life's meaning is subjective. "There is not one standard meaning for all,” author Anais Nin once said, “There is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an indrvidual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person ” I agree, which is why I recommend formulating (构想)your own answer, Taking a few moments to record your response to the question “What is the meaning of life?” is the kind of simple exercise that cITcclively adds meaning to your life.
And then I suggest answering it every year. Looking back at how your thinking has evolved and been influenced by experience tells you .something more about yourself. Then, it gets you closer to a deeper self-understanding.
If you do the annual “meaning” exercise, i suggest not looking at past answers before answering anew. I write them down on the same now-yellowing piece of paper and keep it someplace safe.
The last suggestion is to turn your answer into action. If you conclude, as Tolstoy and Einstein did, that the meaning of life is helping others, that should help motivate you to do more of it.
This is noT a theoretical exercise. Whatever small step you take toward finding the meaning of life is a step toward a more meaningful, and longer life. Why not do this simple annual “meaning” exercise from now on?

81.请认真阅读下面文字，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。
Henderson Island is a tiny，unpopulated (无人居住的)island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean,3,000 miles from major city centers. Though it is halt' the size of Manhattan, more than 19 tons of plastic waste litter its white, sandy beaches.
Researchers estimate(估计）that it has the highest concentration of waste of any place in the world with a total of over 37 million pieces of trash in all on the small island. For every square meter you walk, on average you’ll find 672 pieces of trash.
Mismanaged waste from land goes into waterways, which feed into larger rivers, which in turn empty into ocean. In this way, plastic from far inland can travel many miles to the coastline, bringing an estimated 9 million tons of plastic every year.
Meanwhile, ocean plastic is estimated to kill millions of animals every year. Nearly 700 species have been reported to be affected by it. Species of all sizes, from zooplankton （浮游动物)to whales, now eat microplastics, the bits smaller than one-fifth of an inch across.
