It was rainy, and I had no desire to drive up the winding mountain road to my daughter
Carolyn’s house. But she had insisted that I come to see something at the top of the mountain.
So here I was, reluctantly making the two-hour journey through fog that hung like veils. By
the time I saw how thick it was near the summit, I’d gone too far to turn back.
Nothing could be worth this, I thought as I inched along the dangerous highway.
“I’ll stay for lunch, but I’m heading back down as soon as the fog lifts,” I announced when I
arrived.
“But I need you to drive me to the garage to pick up my car,” Carolyn said. “Could we at
least do that?”
“How far is it?” I asked.
“About three minutes,” she said. “I’ll drive—I’m used to it.”
After ten minutes on the mountain road, I looked at her anxiously. “I thought you said three
minutes.”
She grinned. “This is a detour.”[来源:学*科*网]Turning down a narrow track, we parked the car and got out. We walked along a path that
was thick with old pine needles. Huge black-green evergreens towered over us. Gradually, the
peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.
Then we turned a corner and stopped—and I gasped in amazement.
From the top of the mountain, sloping for several acres across the mountain side and valleys,
were rivers of flowers in numerous colors. It looked as though the sun had tipped over and spilled
gold down the mountainside.
A series of questions filled my mind. Who created such beauty? Why? How?
As we approached the home that stood in the center of the property, we saw a sign that read:
“Answers to the Questions I Know You Are Asking.”
The first answer was: “One Woman—Two Hands, Two Feet, and Very Little Brain.” The
second was: “One at a Time.” The third: “Started in 1958.”
As we drove home, I was so moved by what we had seen, I could scarcely speak. “She
changed the world,” I finally said, “one bulb(球茎) at a time. She started almost 40 years ago,
probably just the beginning of an idea, but she kept at it.”
The wonder of it would not let me go. “Imagine,” I said, “if I’d had a vision and worked at it,
just a little bit every day, what might I have accomplished?”
Carolyn looked at me sideways, smiling. “Start tomorrow,” she said. “Better yet, start today.”

C（选做） In the near future, IoT (Internet of Things) will drive huge innovation (革新) in the way our
food is grown. Plants will have a “voice”, not a human voice, but a voice based on data that can
tell people, computers, and machines when, for example, they are thirsty, or need more sun,
medicine, etc.
Take vertical (垂直的) farms, for example. Farming is moving indoors where the growth of
plants can be monitored and controlled. The facilities are built vertically, so growing areas can be
put in piles. This greatly reduces the amount of land needed for farming.
From an IoT point of view, vertical farms are connected in two ways. First, small sensors (传
感器) in the soil or connected to plants tell a control system exactly how much light, water, and
nutrients are needed to grow the healthiest crops. Sensors will also tell vertical farmers when crops
are nearing their peak for harvesting at just the right time to make sure it’s still fresh when it
reaches its final destination.
Second, vertical farms will be connected to other networks and information systems,
including databases that track local demand. For example, local restaurants may input when they
need fresh food supplies. And vertical farmers could get that information so they know which
crops to grow in what quantities. This type of IoT system would have been unimaginable a
generation ago.
Today, vertical farms are being experimented. Yet, the numbers point to a bright future for
the industry, especially as the world’s population continues to grow. For example, Green Sense
Farms in Chicago is able to harvest crops 26 times a year using 85 percent less energy, one-tenth
the water, and no pesticides. A side benefit of lower energy use is lower CO2 output of two tons
per month, with the added benefit of creating 46 pounds of oxygen every day.
8．What is the main idea of the text?
A．Voice machines help plants speak up.
B．Farmers are all turning to vertical farming.
C．IoT has brought great innovation to our future life.
D．Vertical farms driven by IoT are a future for agriculture.
9．How do sensors attached to plants work?
A．By recording farmers harvesting crops.
B．By monitoring farmers working their fields.
C．By analyzing information to preserve crops.
D．By passing information on to a control system.
10．According to Paragraph 4, the IoT system can help ________.
A．expand the output of crops B．match supply with demand
C．determine the needs of farmers D．move restaurants onto farms
11．What is the author’s attitude towards the future of vertical farming?A．Negative. B．Indifferent. C．Optimistic. D．Doubtful.
D（选做）
You may think that creativity and artistic judgment are what sets humans apart from
artificial intelligence (AI). Robots will be washing our windows long before they start creating
masterpieces Right?
Not necessarily. At Amper Music (www.ampermusic.com), you can make the music you
want based on mood, instrument, speed and length. You click “Render,” and boom! There’s your
original piece, not only composed (作曲) but also “performed” and “mixed” by AI software.
But something has kept bothering me: What happens in a world where effort and scarcity (稀
缺) are no longer part of the definition of art? A mass-produced print of the Mona Lisa is worth
less than the actual Leonardo painting. Why? Scarcity—there’s only one of the original. But
Amper turns. professional-quality original piece of music every time you click “Render.” It puts
us in a strange world where works of art are unique but require almost zero human effort to
produce. Should anyone pay for these things? And if an artist puts AI masterpieces up for sale,
what should the price be?
That’s not just a thought experiment either. Soon the question “What’s the value of AI
artwork and music?” will start impacting flesh—and—blood consumers. It has already, in fact.
Earlier, reporters discovered something suspicious (可疑的) about many playlists of
Spotify—another online music service. According to the report, the composers and bands who
wrote the songs appeared to be nonexistent. These playlists have names like Peaceful Piano and
Ambient Chill—exactly the kind of music AI software is good at.
Is Spotify using software to compose music to avoid paying fees to human musicians? The
New York Times reported that the tracks with false names have been played 500 million times,
which would ordinarily have cost Spotify $3 million in payments.
But Spotify has firmly denied that the tracks in question were created by “fake” artists to
avoid payments: while posted under pennames, they were written by actual people receiving
actual money for work that they own. But the broader issue remains. Why couldn’t Spotify, or any
music service, start using AI to produce free music to save itself money? Automation (自动化) is
beginning to replace millions of human taxi drivers, truck drivers and fast-food workers. Why
should artists and musicians be an exception to the same economics?
Should there be anything in place—a union, a law---to stop that from happening? Or will we
always value human-produced art and music more than machine-made stuff? Once we’ve
answered those questions, we can settle the really big one: When an AI—composed song wins the
Grammy, who will be awarded?
12．What do we know from the example of Amper Music?
A．It doesn’t need any human effort to compose music.
B．It allows ordinary people to perform their own music.
C．It makes a challenge to the traditional definition of art.D．It produces music works that are similar in styles.
13．The underlined part in Paragraph 4 implies that ________.
A．it is hard to tell AI artworks apart from human artworks
B．people will be charged for AI art in the near future
C．people don’t know what price of AI art is reasonable
D．the scarcity of AI artworks means it is one of a copy
14．Spotify was covered in the media because ________.
A．AI music can be performed free of charge
B．its musicians might not be paid fairly
C．playlists of its music did not actually exist
D．AI software has replaced human musicians
15．The writing purpose of this passage is to ________.
A．draw deserved attention to AI-made artworks
B．warn against the immediate threat from Al art
C．support the use of Al software in art creation
D．solve misunderstandings about AI’s role in art
二、七选五
As long as there have been exams, students have found ways to cheat. Today the correct
answers are just a few taps away on a smart phone. So countries have come up with new ways to
stop the funny business. Some use metal detectors, surveillance (监控) cameras, and mobile phone
jammers (干扰器).16．
Cheating in high school leaving exams got so bad in Mauritania and Algeria that this year the
authorities turned off the Internet for the entire country. Algeria did so for at least an hour during
tests (which last about a week).17．Other countries, such as Iraq, Uzbekistan and Ethiopia, have
for years been shutting down the Internet during exam time.
In each country students are under high pressure to do well in the tests, which often
determine whether they can continue their education at a good university.18．But high marks are
rare. In Algeria only around half of students passed the exams in recent years. In Mauritania the
rate is much lower.
19．Darrell West of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, estimates that in 2015-2016
Internet shutdowns ordered by governments cost countries at least $2.4bn. 20．
A．Turning off the Internet is expensive.
B．Teachers try to help — in their own way.C．Others have taken a more severe measure.
D．A splendid grade may mean a scholarship abroad.
E. Mauritania cut access from morning until evening on exam days.
F. For that kind of money, countries could even improve their schools.
G. With so many students cheating electronically, governments are taking extreme steps.
三、完形填空
How long can human beings live? Most scientists who study old age think that the
human body is 21 to live no longer than 120 years. However, 110 years is probably the longest
that anyone could hope to live — if he or she is 22 healthy and lucky. Some scientists even say we
can live as long as 130 years! Yet, our cells simply cannot continue to reproduce 23. They wear
out, and as a result, we get old and 24 die.
Even though we can’t live forever, we are living a 25 life than ever before. In 1900, the
average American life span(寿命)was only 47 years, but today it is 75 years!
When does old age begin then? Sixty-five may be out-of-date as the 26 line between
middle age and old age. After all, many older people don’t begin to experience physical and
mental 27 until after age 75.
People are living longer because more people 28 childhood. Before modern medicine
changed the laws of nature, many children died of common childhood 29. Now that the
chances of dying 30 are much lower, the chances of living long are much higher due to better diets
and health care.
On the whole, our population is getting older. The 31 in our population will have lasting
effects on our social development and our way of life. Some people fear such changes will be for
the worse, while some see 32, not disaster. Today, many men and women in their "golden years"
are healthy, still active, and young in 33 if not in age.
As our society grows old, we need the 34 of our older citizens. With long lives ahead of
them, they need to 35 active and be devoted.

That night, I quarreled with my mother, then stormed out of the house. While on the road, I
remembered that I did not have any money in my pocket, I did not even take my cell phone with
me to make a call home. At the same time, when I wept through a noodle shop. picking up the
sweet fragrance, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wished for a bowl of noodles, but I had no money!
The seller saw me standing before the counter and asked, "Hey, little girl, you want to eat a
bow!?"
"But. . . but I do not carry money. . " I shyly replied.
"Okay, I'll treat you. " The seller said, "come in, I will cook you a bowl. "
A few minutes later the owner brought me a steaming bowl of noodles. After eating some
pieces, I cried.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Nothing. I am just touched by your kindness!" I said as I wiped my tears. "Even a stranger
on the street gives me a bowl of noodles, and my mother, after a quarrel, chased me out of the
house. She is sure!"
The seller sighed, "Girl, why did you think so? Think again. I only gave you a bowl of
noodles and you felt that way. Your mother has been taking care of you since you were little, why
were you not grateful and why did you hurt your mom?"
I was really surprised after hearing that.
Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, and
my mother has raised me since I was little and I have never felt so, not even a little. On the way home, I thought in my head what I would say to my mother when I arrived home:
"Mom, I'm sorry. I know it is my fault, please forgive me. . . "

【分析】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了人工智能艺术品和音乐是否应该收费的问题，引起人们对
人工智能艺术作品的注意。
12．细节理解题。根据文章第一段中 “You may think that creativity and artistic judgment are
what sets humans apart from artificial intelligence (AI).” 你可能认为创造力和艺术判断力人类
与人工智能（AI）的区别。和第二段中“Not necessarily. At Amper Music
(www.ampermusic.com), you can make the music you want based on mood, instrument, speed
and length. You click “Render,” and boom! There’s your original piece, not only composed (作曲)
but also “performed” and “mixed” by AI software.” 不一定。在 Amper Music
（www.ampermusic.com），你可以根据心情、乐器、速度和长度来制作你想要的音乐。你点
击“提交”，然后砰的一声！这是你的原创作品，不仅是由人工智能软件创作的，而且是由人
工智能软件“执行”和“混合”的。由此可知，Amper Music 是对传统的艺术定义提出了挑战。
结合选项，故选 C。
13．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Soon the question “What’s the value of AI artwork and
music?” will start impacting flesh—and—blood consumers.” 很快就会有一个问题“人工智能艺
术品和音乐的价值是什么？”将开始影响有血有肉的消费者。由此可以推断出，人们开始重

of human taxi drivers, truck drivers and fast-food workers. Why should artists and musicians be an
exception to the same economics?” 为什么 Spotify 或任何音乐服务不能开始使用人工智能制
作免费音乐来为自己省钱?自动化即将开始代替数以百万计的出租车司机,卡车司机和快餐
的工人吗？为什么艺术家和音乐家应该是同一种经济的例外呢？由此可知，作者认为音乐家
受到了不公平的待遇。故 Spotify 被媒体报道，因为它的音乐家可能得不到公平的报酬。故
选 B。
15．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中“Should there be anything in place—a union, a law---to
stop that from happening? Or will we always value human-produced art and music more than
machine-made stuff? Once we’ve answered those questions, we can settle the really big one: When an AI—composed song wins the Grammy, who will be awarded?” 是否应该有什么措施
——工会、法律——来阻止这种情况的发生？或者，我们会永远珍视人类创造的艺术和音乐
而不是机器制造的东西吗？一旦我们回答了这些问题，我们就可以解决真正重要的一个问题：
当一首由人工智能创作的歌曲赢得格莱美奖时，谁将获奖？由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目
的是为了引起人们对人工智能艺术作品的注意。故选 A。

【分析】
本文为说明文。介绍了许多国家为防止考试作弊采取了许多措施，如利用监控，金属探测器，
手机干扰器等，甚至有的国家在考试期间断掉全国的网络。
16．根据上一句 Some use metal detectors, surveillance (监控) cameras, and mobile phone
jammers (干扰器).（一些国家使用金属探测器、监控摄像头和手机干扰器）可知，此句为递
进关系，选项 C. Others have taken a more severe measure.（而另一些国家采取了更为严厉的
措施）符合语境。其中选项中 others 与上句中的 some 相对应。的故选 C。
17．本段开头提到了毛里塔尼亚和阿尔及利亚两个国家当局关闭了整个国家的互联网。上一
句提到阿尔及利亚考试期间至少一小时断网，此处在讲网络控制。由此可知，选项 E.
Mauritania cut access from morning until evening on exam days.（毛里塔尼亚在考试日从早上
到晚上都切断了网络）符合语境。故选 E。
18．根据上一句 In each country students are under high pressure to do well in the tests, which
often determine whether they can continue their education at a good university.（在每个国家，学生都面临着在考试中取得好成绩的巨大压力，而考试往往决定着他们能否在一所好大学继续
学业）可知，此处在讲好成绩给学生带来的好处。由此可知，选项 D. A splendid grade may
mean a scholarship abroad.（优异的成绩意味着可以获得国外的奖学金）符合语境，选 D。
19．本题是主题句，根据其后 Darrell West of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, estimates
that in 2015-2016 Internet shutdowns ordered by governments cost countries at least $2.4bn.（智
库布鲁金斯学会(Brookings Institution)的达雷尔•韦斯特(Darrell West)估计，在 2015 年至 2016
年期间，政府下令关闭互联网至少让各国损失了 24 亿美元）可知，关闭互联网是昂贵的，
故选 A。
20．根据上句 Darrell West of the Brookings Institution, a think-tank, estimates that in 2015-2016
Internet shutdowns ordered by governments cost countries at least $2.4bn.（智库布鲁金斯学会
(Brookings Institution)的达雷尔•韦斯特(Darrell West)估计，在 2015 年至 2016 年期间，政府
下令关闭互联网至少让各国损失了 24 亿美元）可知，用这些钱，这些国家甚至可以改善他
们的学校。故选项 F 符合语境，故选 F。
【点睛】
词语复现是语篇衔接的一个重要手段，而七选五正是考查语篇衔接，因此，利用词语复现解
七选五十分管用。作者或说话人在谈论某个话题或主题时，与主题相关的词语必定会以原词、
同义词或近义词等形式在上下文中重复出现，这种现象叫词语复现。如小题 1，第一段第三
句中“have come up with new ways”就与选项 C 中“have taken a more severe measure”属于近义
词复现，故选 C；再如小题 5，空前一句中“cost countries at least $2.4bn.”与选项 A 中“that kind
of money”属于同义复现，故选 F。
值得注意的是，有的题利用词语复现解题十分管用，但这并不意味着凡与上句或下句有复现
词的选项就一定是正确选项，只是正确的可能性更大，在解题过程中需重点考虑或优选考虑
而已。是否为正确答案，还得将含复现词的选项代入原文，看该选项与上下文是否真的衔接，
只有上下衔接紧密的才是正确选项。

本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了黛西一直渴望帮助濒危的野生动物，有一天她梦见自己被一
块飞毯带到不同的地方，了解到了不同动物的遭遇。
36．考查定语从句。句意：黛西是一个小女孩，她一直渴望帮助濒临灭绝的野生动物。此处
是限定性定语从句，先行词是 girl，连接词在从句中做主语，应使用关系代词 who/that 引导。
故填 who/that。37．考查非谓语动词。句意：一天她醒来发现床边有一张飞毯。此处与 carpet 是逻辑主谓关
系，应使用现在分词做定语，表主动。故填 flying。
38．考查名词。句意：它把他带到一个遥远的地方，在那里黛西可以找到处于危险中的动物。
be in danger 是固定短语“在危险中”。故填 danger。
39．考查固定句型。句意：地毯飞得很快，以至于她们下一分钟就到了津巴布韦。so+形容
词或者副词+that 是固定句型“如此……以至于……”。故填 so。
40．考查时态及语态。句意：黛西转过身来，发现她正被一头大象注视着。根据句意可知，
此处应该用现在进行时的被动语态。故填 was being watched。
41．考查介词。句意：如释重负，黛西突然大笑起来。in relief 是固定短语“轻松地，欣慰
地”。故填 In。
42．考查名词。句意：如释重负，黛西突然大笑起来。burst into laughter 是固定短语“突然大
笑”。故填 laughter。
43．考查时态。句意：农民们毫不留情地追捕我们。本文的叙述都是过去时，所以此处也用
过去时。故填 hunted。
44．考查非谓语动词。句意：于是政府决定帮忙。decide to do 是固定短语“决定做某事”。故
填 to help。
45．考查时态。句意：现在农民们很高兴，现在我们的数目正在增长。根据句意可知，此处
应该用现在进行时。与主语 our numbers 一致，故填 are increasing。
46．Dear Mr. Smith,
I am Li Hua, volunteer of the English club. I’m writing this letter to express my sincere apology
to you for being absent from the prom to be held next Saturday. Now I give you an explanation.
The reason why I can’t take part in the prom is that I suddenly fall ill. My parents sent me to
hospital, and I have to stay there for a week. Therefore, I can’t attend the prom. As for my
volunteer work, I have appointed my classmate Tom to serve as a volunteer.
I sincerely hope that you can consider my situation and accept my apologies.Yours,
Li Hua

47．She must have been looking for me everywhere. I was ready for her anger and shouts.
However, before I could apologize, my mother saw me and gently said: “Oh honey, thank God
you’re back! Come inside. You are probably very hungry! I cooked your favorite noodles, come and eat while they are still hot.” No longer able to control myself, I cried in her arms. “I’ m sorry,
mom. Please forgive me.” I whispered to her through tears, extremely ashamed of myself.
Just at that moment, many memories came back into my mind. When I was ill, she was always the
one taking care of me. When I had trouble with my study, she never lost faith in me and
encouraged me to keep going. When I arrived home during the weekend, she always prepared my
favorite food. All her kindness came back to me. I should be grateful for all she had done for me. I
realized I should hug my mother tightly and say ‘I love you’ to her.

这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者因为一些事和自己的妈妈吵架，离家出走时发现自己没带
钱也没带手机。面馆的服务员免费给了作者一碗面吃，作者感动地流下眼泪，服务员却问作
者，作者的妈妈也是从小就照顾作者，为什么不感恩一下妈妈而是要伤害她呢？根据 para 1
的提示，要求续写回到家后发生的故事。Para 2 要求续写根据一些陌生的善意联想到的感悟。
【详解】
根据关键词判断情节发展。第一段第一句提到“我”和妈妈吵架并冲出家门，第一段最后一提
到“我”没有带钱，可以判断接下来“我”的处境会非常尴尬，另一方面也可以推理出妈妈发现
“我”没带钱和手机，应该非常担心我。在第七段和第八段中，“我”与服务员的对话可以判断
出“我”应该对自己的所作所为感到比较羞愧，从而可以确定续写第一段的基调是，“我”回到
家后，与妈妈的交流及“我”的后悔之情。续写第二段第一句给出的提示是“有时候我们感激
于身边陌生人的小小善举”，而全文是与母亲的事情，因此不可使用太多的笔墨去描述与陌
生人之间的互动，而是应该将重点放在自己与母亲之间的关系上，从而进一步升华自己与母
亲之间的感情。
【点睛】
本篇描述了人与人之间的事情和感情，因此可积累一些描述心情方面的句型。
【高分句型 1】can hardly conceal one’s excitement.难以掩饰自己的兴奋。E.g. I can hardly
conceal my excitement to see my mother sit beside the table.【高分句型 2】
Be overflowing with happiness。洋溢着幸福。E.g. Her face is overflowing with happiness.
【高分句型 3】
A look of sadness ran through his face. 他的脸上闪过一丝悲伤。
