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 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hiring a Car Online
Online car hire promises to be cheap, quick and convenient. But is it? Neil McDougall
clicks his mouse.
A Autos.com
Just click on the reservations button, fill in your home country, destination and dates,
pick a car and you’re into the booking form without any trouble and with all the charges laid
out. There’s also a detailed rental guide explaining your contract.
B Cash.com.uk
One to consider if you’re going to the States for a visit, although, after I’d worked
through half the booking process, it returned an error message without telling me which part
of the process needed adjusting. I got there in the end. There is a useful section with detailed
directions for some of the great drives of America.
C Expeed.org.uk
Book a flight with Expeed and when you continue on to the car-hire section, the software
already knows where you are going and when. However, you seem to be limited to cities with
airports for your car hire, and additional taxes are presented.
D Cars.net
Another site offering discounts for booking online, but also special late deals. Prices are
fully inclusive of insurance. It is now offering a lowest rates guarantee, an extra discount for
former clients and a package of free gifts to sweeten the deal.
E Cheapandcheerful.net.uk
Avoid unnecessary complexity online but the booking process is as good as it gets. Very
quick and smooth, so much so that people with older computers may have trouble getting this
information. Enter how many miles you expect to drive and tick your insurance, driver and
child-seat choices and they will all be included in the final price. You must contact the
location directly if you need a car within three days. And to hire a car abroad, there’s a dull
email form to fill in and they’ll get back to you.
21. Which of the following websites presents some driving routes?
A. Cash.com.uk. B. Autos.com. C. Expeed.org.uk. D. Cars.net.
22. What limitation does Expeed.org.uk have?2
A. Customers have to pay high-rated taxes.
B. Customers can hire a car only in certain places.
C. Customers can hire only certain types of vehicles.
D. Customers can hire a car only if you’ve booked a flight there.
23. What is the disadvantage of Cheapandcheerful.net.uk?
A. The final price is too high.
B. Its online booking procedure is complex.
C. People have to wait for three days to get the car.
D. It’s unsuitable for customers with out-of-date computers.

Mathew Brady tried to end war for all time. He used a new, powerful weapon. He used a
camera.
Brady opened his first photograph studio in 1844. The images he produced were
daguerreotypes ( 银 版 照 片 ), not the photographs he would take later. Daguerreotypes
recorded images on sheets of copper coated with silver. They required long exposures, so the
person being photographed would have to stay perfectly still for 3-15 minutes. That made
daguerreotypes impractical for portraits. By 1855, Brady was advertising a new type of image
that had just been invented: a photograph made on paper.
From the beginning of his career, Brady believed that photography could serve an
important purpose. His images could create a record of national life. When the Civil War
broke out, he wanted to document the war as a part of that record. His friends discouraged
him, but Brady started to take photographs of war scenes. He gathered a group of
photographers who worked in the field, taking photographs of battle scenes and military life.
He also bought photographs from others who were returning from the field. His efforts
culminated (达到顶点) in an 1862 display of photographs made after the Battle of Antietam.
The bloodshed (人员伤亡) shocked the visitors to the exhibit, most of whom had never seen a
field of battle.
Brady did not stop war with his work, but he did raise the awareness of the costs of war
among common citizens. After the Civil War, people lost interest in his record of the war.
Because he could find few buyers for his photographs and did not earn enough money to pay
for his wartime work, Brady went bankrupt (破产的). Years after the war, the government
bought Brady’s collection. It is now considered a priceless documentation of the War between
the States. Other photographs by Mathew Brady sell for thousands of dollars and are
considered national treasures.
24. By 1855, the new technology ______.
A. allowed Brady to open his first photography studio
B. made daguerreotypes have shorter exposure time
C. allowed photographs to be recorded on paper
D. made Brady begin to take photos of people3
25. When the Civil War broke out, Mathew Brady ______.
A. began to take and collect pictures of the war
B. started to realize the purpose of photography
C. established his exhibition center
D. went to the battlefield to report
26. According to the text, Mathew Brady’s photographs ______.
A. helped stop the Civil War
B. made people realize the cruelty of war
C. were bought by the government during the war
D. were considered national treasures right after the war
27. This text mainly talks about ______.
A. new inventions recording national life
B. photographs taken during the Civil War
C. a soldier who took photographs at the battlefield
D. a photographer who wanted to stop war with his photos
C
Math can be as scary as spiders and snakes, at least in the brain of an 8-year-old child.
And that early anxiety about dealing with numbers can put a child at a significant
disadvantage, not only in school but in negotiating life and a career. Fortunately, a study of
third-graders, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, suggests an intervention (干预) that
can help. One-on-one tutoring does more than teach kids. It can help reduce the fear of math
anxiety.
“The most exciting aspect of our findings is that cognitive (认知的) tutoring not only
improves performance, but is also anxiety-reducing,” says Vinod Menon.
Menon and his colleagues knew from their earlier research using MRI scans (核磁扫描)
of the brain that math anxiety activates much the same network of cells that some other
common fears activate----fear of snakes or spiders or heights, for example. And they knew
that a behavioral treatment known as exposure therapy helps some people solve the anxiety of
those other phobias. Could the same thing be happening with math tutoring?
To find out, the scientists invited 46 third-graders who answered questions about math
worries and were also tested on simple addition problems while having their brains scanned
via functional MRI. Based on their answers, scans and scores in each of the tests, the children
were divided into two groups: one considered to have higher levels of math anxiety and one
with lower levels. Afterward, both groups received eight weeks of one-on-one tutoring in
basic arithmetic, a few sessions a week.
Both groups did better in math at the end of the tutoring, Menon says. But most
importantly, he says, the kids who had been anxious about math were 20 percent less anxious
at the end of the eight weeks----a finding their brain scans confirmed.
The tutoring was highly personalized----if a child got stuck on a particular concept, the4
tutor would work with the student to “get beyond the bottleneck in a non-negative,
encouraging way”.
Menon hopes to next study whether computerized tutoring can produce similar benefits
and whether the reduction in math anxiety continues to exist as the children advance to more
complex problem-solving skills.
28. According to the text, early math anxiety may affect children’s ______.
A. intelligence quality B. ability to harmonize life and work
C. life skills D. career choices
29. What does the underlined word “phobias” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Scans. B. Tutors. C. Fears. D. Symptoms.
30. Why did scientists test those 46 third-graders?
A. To check the function of MRI scans.
B. To help them get higher grades in math.
C. To find out what addition problems they have.
D. To prove whether one-on-one tutoring can reduce math anxiety.
31. What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?
A. Computers can help reduce math anxiety.
B. Menon will make a further study about the reduction in math anxiety.
C. One-on-one tutoring is useful for solving difficult problems.
D. Scientists have applied one-on-one tutoring to social research.
D
For the past few months, artificial intelligence (AI) has been a much talked about topic in
the worlds of both pop culture and science. Last November saw the release of
Oscar-nominated (奥斯卡奖提名的) and winning movie, “The Imitation Game”, about the
father of the modern computer, Alan Turing. Last month, another Hollywood film about
clever robots, “Chappie”, hit theaters.
Is artificial intelligence a good fortune or a bad luck for humans? In their book The
Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies,
authors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, both of whom come from MIT, US, could
barely hide their excitement toward the rise of machines.
According to the authors, we’re entering an age of accelerated development of artificial
and robotic technology. “Digital machines have escaped their narrow confines limits and
started to show broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other
areas that used to be only human,” write the authors. “We’ve recently seen great progress in
natural language processing, machine learning, computer vision, and many other areas.”
Already AI can help blind people see and deaf people hear. And wheelchairs have been
invented that can be controlled by thoughts. We’ll witness more innovations and wonders
made possible by AI, according to the authors.
However, not all are equally enthusiastic about AI. A February report from the Global5
Challenges Foundation listed AI, along with extreme climate change, nuclear war and
ecological catastrophe, as “risks that threaten human civilization”. Many scientists share the
same concern. Stephen Hawking told the BBC last December that: “It would take off on its
own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate, while humans, who are limited by slow
biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be replaced.”
Hawking’s worry agreed with that of Tesla and SpaceX boss Elon Musk, who said in last
October at an MIT conference that “we should be very careful about artificial intelligence.
I’m increasingly inclined (倾向于) to think that there should be some regulatory oversight (监
管), maybe at the national and international level, just to ensure we don’t do something very
foolish,” Musk said.
32. Two movies are mentioned in the first paragraph in order to show ______.
A. the popularity of AI around the world B. the development of robotic technology
C. the wide public concern about AI D. people’s increasing interest in movies
33. Andrew McAfee’s attitude towards AI is ______.
A. supportive B. doubtful C. cautious D. disapproving
34. Stephen Hawking views AI as a threat to human beings because he thinks it would
______.
A. be difficult to control B. result in natural disasters
C. have the earth destroyed D. bring an end to the human race
35. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. explain how to make AI serve people
B. give different opinions about developing AI
C. introduce the advantages of developing AI
D. show the possible problems with developing AI

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。
It is hard to say how long people have been drinking wine. Wine is far older than
recorded history. Some experts say it is as old as civilization itself.
36 People in ancient times might have picked ripe grapes. Some juicy grapes at the
bottom of the container were crushed (压碎) together. As the grapes broke open, yeasts (酵母)
on the skins went to work turning sugar from the fruit into alcohol. This is the fermentation
(发酵) process that turns grape juice into wine.
How grapes become wine begins with the harvest. A winemaker must make an important
decision about the best time to pick the grapes first. 37 Diseased or overly ripe grapes
are thrown away.
Some winemakers choose to keep the stems of the grapes, while others remove them.
38 In the past, people crushed the grapes with their feet inside large containers.
Some winemakers today still use this method. The grapes and their liquid are then stored in6
large containers where fermentation takes place.
39 Burial places in ancient Egypt provide information about wine and its
importance in Egyptian culture. Egyptian rulers were buried with wine offerings to help them
in the afterlife. Archeological evidence also suggests that some of the earliest known wine
producers were in Georgia and Iran thousands of years ago. Today, the top wine producing
countries in the world are Italy, France and Spain, followed by the United States. 40
Wine production is even increasing in countries like India and China.
A. The grapes are then squeezed by machines.
B. Next, the grapes are closely examined and sorted.
C. Wine was not just about having an enjoyable drink.
D. The first wine ever made was probably an accident.
E. Winemaking probably began in the ancient Near East and Egypt.
F. One thing was very important for the start of the modern wine industry.
G. Although Europe is still important in the wine industry, many other countries around
the world are making top wines.

Boys and girls,
Recently some blood banks across the country are reported to be in short supply of blood.
Some people hold the wrong idea that donating blood does harm to the donor’s health. But the truth is that
when a small amount of blood is taken out, the body will make a quick adjustment to work normally.
As we know, donating blood is of great importance. Blood is important to patients, without which many
can’t survive. Among young people like us, donating blood is a social responsibility.
We senior high school students, who have a better understanding of medical knowledge, should set a good
example for other people. From now on, our school will hold a series of activities to explain the benefits of
donating blood.
Donate now and save a life!
