数和复数，纯粹指数量上大于 1 与否；3.还可以区分为主格和宾格，主格人称代词在句中用作
主语，而宾格人称代词在句中用作宾语或表语。另外，人称代词在单独使用时通常用宾格而
非主格。在确定人称代词形式的题目中，需要从这三个方面综合考量。第 3 小题已经给出了 they
的形式并且容易找出其指代的内容，只需要根据其在句中所作成分确定主宾格形式就可以了。

Three Modern Services
When you're working a full-time job, studying or on the hunt for work, life can feel exhausting.
The good news is that modern technology has made life easier in many ways, and with the following
services, you'll find you have more time and energy for the things that matter.
Meal kit delivery services
Meal kit delivery services are one of the most underestimated innovations of the 21st century.
How they work is simple. At the beginning you choose how many people need to eat in your
household. Then, what your dietary requirements are, and any other preferences. Finally, you get to
choose which meal kits will be delivered to your door.
No matter your diet, you can have an appropriate meal kit delivered. For example, check out
these low carb meal delivery options. The kit comes complete with all the ingredients you need,
already prepared. All you have to do is to follow the simple recipe to put them together and pop your
meal in the oven.
With meal kit delivery, you don’t have to worry about cooking or spending money on takeout.
Your trips to the grocery store will become easier and you'll waste less money and food.
Taskrabbit
One of the most frustrating aspects of having a place you call your own is that you have to take
care of the maintenance(维修). Even if you are renting, there are certain tasks that your landlord will
expect you to see to, whether a leaky tap or a problematic electrical appliance.
For this, Taskrabbit connects you with freelancers who are willing to take on just about any task
for you. You can hire someone to take care of your leaky tap rather than spending your own time and
energy doing it. You're giving someone work while enjoying your time off.
Postmates
Finally, one of the most convenient and useful services is, of course, Postmates. With Postmates, you can get just about anything delivered or deliver something yourself. You can get someone to do
your groceries for you – simply make a list of what you need and choose whether the shopper should
call you if something is out or if they can decide on replacements themselves.
You can also use it for takeout, to send or receive documents, and any other delivery needs you
have.
We live in an age of convenience, and we should take advantage of it. Start using the above
services and you'll see your stress levels drop.
31. What will people first do to enjoy Meal kit delivery services?
A. To check out some options.
B. To pop your meal in the oven.
C. To confirm the exact number of people.
D. To follow the simple recipe to put them together.
32. What do the three Modern Services have in common?
A. They can help people save money.
B. All the Modern Services are top-level.
C. They can make people easily enjoy their lives.
D. Young people show their preference for the three Modern Services.
33. Where is the passage most likely to be taken from?
A. A magazine. B. A book review.
C. A novel. D. A guidebook.
【答案】31. C 32. C 33. A
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。文章介绍了三款让生活更便捷的现代科技发明。
【31 题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Meal kit delivery services 中 At the beginning you choose how many people
need to eat in your household.得知餐盒递送服务中你需要首先选择多少人要在家里就餐。要首先
确认就餐人们的确切数量。故选 C。
【32 题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段 The good news is that modern technology has made life easier in many ways, and with the following services,得知本文介绍的三款科技发明都是提升生活水平，帮人们
更容易享受生活的发明。故选 C。
【33 题详解】
推理判断题。文章介绍三款现代科技发明，是节选自杂志。不是书评、小说或导游手册。故
选 A。
【点睛】对于直接信息题此类题型，可以首先从问题中找到关键词,然后以此为线索，运用略
读及查阅的技巧在文中迅速寻找这一细节，找到后再把这一部分内容仔细阅读一遍，仔细比
较所给选项与文中细节的细微区别，在准确理解细节的前提下，最后确定最佳答案。例如:小
题 1 问享受餐盒递送服务首先做什么?在文章中找到相关的句子,由第二段 At the beginning you
choose how many people need to eat in your household.可知, 需要首先选择多少人要在家里就餐,
关键词是 At the beginning … , C 选项 To confirm the exact number of people.是对 you choose how
many people need to eat in your household.…的同义改写，故选 C。

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She
stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her
window.
“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want
one right now?”
The man looked to be in his 60s. He was balding, and missing a few teeth. As Steller liked to tell
the story, he laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go to this week. I was really
hoping to get a haircut.”
Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was finished, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.
Until last year, Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘) around the
city. She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.
“It’s more than a haircut,” she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also
to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”
Steller knew that a haircut could change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from a
severe disease, her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first
professional haircut.
“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it
helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she said.
After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way
she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls
her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts,
others would be inspired to spread their own.
“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d
go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them
feel less alone for a moment.”
It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up
in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness
that you give them.”
34. How did Steller react to the man’s asking for help?
A. She paid no attention.
B. She offered a free haircut to him.
C. She sent a red chair to him as a present.
D. She told an interesting story to make him happy.
35. What did Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in paragraph 6?
A. She thought it was a respectable job.
B. She had found more advantages for the job.
C. She considered haircut as a way to make friends.
D. She hoped her job could make a difference to others.36. What did Steller expect from Red Chair Project?
A. To earn a lot of money. B. To know more people.
C. To pass down the kindness. D. To make herself stand out.
37. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Cut Above. B. A Beautiful Salon.
C. The Good Belief. D. The Miracle of Love.
【答案】34. B 35. D 36. C 37. A

本文是记叙文。讲述了凯蒂·斯泰勒在去明尼苏达州工作的路上下了高速公路后给陌生人免费
理发传递善行的事迹。
【34 题详解】
细节理解题。根据前两段 She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking
for help. She rolled down her window. “Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If
I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”得知当陌生人求助时，凯蒂·斯泰勒提供免费给他
理发。故选 B。
【35 题详解】
句意理解题。根据第 6 段 she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to
get to know people. I want to build relationships.”得知凯蒂·斯泰勒想通过理发和陌生人建立关系，
给他人带来影响。故选 D。
【36 题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段 Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired
to spread their own.得知凯蒂·斯泰勒的红椅子项目旨在于通过自己的善行，其他人能够传递善
行。故选 C。
【37 题详解】
主旨大意题。本文主要讲述凯蒂·斯泰勒在去明尼苏达州工作的路上下了高速公路后给陌生人
免费理发的事迹。A Cut Above.这个标题既和“剪发”切题 ，又有“更胜一筹”的用法。故选
A。
【点睛】主旨大意题是篇章阅读一个主要的考查方式，最佳标题（best title）是其一个典型的
考点，也是高考阅读中每年的必考题。主旨大意题解题技巧是不要被文章细节所干扰。一般有两种方式解题：一是看首尾段，根据首尾段内容总结主题思想；二是看每段段首句，根据
所有段首句总结主题思想。例如本文中的第四题，这是一篇记叙文，根据文体特点可知，记
叙文一般会在文章最后点名文章中心，所以由文章最后一段中的““The way you show up in the
world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you
give them.”可知凯蒂·斯泰勒通过在去明尼苏达州工作的路上下了高速公路后给陌生人免费理
发传递善行。且选项 A 中的 cut 与 free haircut 两个关键词都与故事情节紧密相关，故选 A。
C
Why is poverty so difficult to overcome? Why are poorer people less likely to invest in their own
learning and ability development, but more likely to be addicted to television and video games?
In the past, a poor person was normally considered to have bad character or have no ambition.
Banerjee corrects such views and explains the economics behind the poor. Poor people tend to live
with more worries in their lives, he said, so they need tools such as televisions, cell phones, junk food
and video games to relieve worries more than others. But investment in learning often takes a long
time to get rewards, while the poor are often impatient due to economic reasons, and their life in the
meantime is getting more worrisome and boring.
That goes for health. Banerjee and his wife find that the poor spend the same amount of money
and time, or even more on health and medical care than the middle class group, but they tend to get bad
effects. The reason is that the poor often lack the essential medical and healthy knowledge and they
tend to get medical treatment when the disease has worsened to a certain stage. Besides, they tend to
trust the doctors who “give strong medicine”because they believe such doctors are the “good” ones.
But in fact,“strong medicine”always leads to resistance to drugs and overtreatment. This kind of
attitude, which emphasizes treatment rather than early prevention, has brought many poor people more
economic stress and physical damage, and even has affected the education of their next generation.
According to the study, children in poorer physical condition tend to spend less time in school and
have lower incomes after graduation, so poverty gets “inherited”.
When it comes to finance, Banerjee's research has found that the poor often need to borrow little
and short-term loans while paying extremely high interest rates. It is also because the poor tend to take
higher financial risks ----they often have unstable incomes and are unable to get working capital from
banks, so they rely more on these high-interest loans. And these small loans put a brake on their
savings against risks.How could the poor step into the middle class? Maybe starting a business is a way out. But for the
extremely poor, it's impossible to get the capital they need to start a business. In most cases, a more
practical option is getting a job in government agencies because comparatively speaking, government
jobs are very stable, which give the poor the opportunities to be hired for the long term, to increase the
range of their thinking and thus enabling families to move from poverty to the middle class.
Banerjee's research provides a new perspective for governments to understand poverty, so that
policies can be tailored to decrease poverty and ultimately eliminate(消除) it.
38. How do the poor deal with the issue of health?
A. They spend less money in preventing disease.
B. They focus more on the diseases than early prevention.
C. They usually think it essential to resist strong medicine.

39. From the underlined sentence, we can learn that_______.
A. poverty is produced by the poor
B. poverty is passed down by their parents
C. poverty has some bad effects on the poor
D. poverty causes people to bear more economic stress
40. Banerjee considers it difficult to overcome poverty because________.
A. the poor have bad character or have no ambition
B the poor prefer to invest in business rather than work
C. the government hasn’t taken proper and effective measure
D. the poor were troubled by their lives, health and finance
41. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The poor have attached importance to education.
B. The government can’t provide the jobs for the poor.
C. All the poor need to start a business for their survival.
D. Banerjee's research is helpful for the government to rid of poverty.

AI can identify rare genetic disorders
People with genetic syndromes (基因遗传综合症) sometimes have revealing facial features, but
using them to make a quick and cheap diagnosis can be tricky when there are hundreds of possible
conditions they may have. A new neural(神经的) network that analyses photographs of faces can help
doctors narrow down the possibilities.
Gurovich at biotechnology firm FDNA in Boston and his team built a neural network to look at
the gestalt (形态)– or overall impression of faces and return a list of the 10 genetic syndromes a person
is most likely to have.
They trained the neural network, called DeepGestalt, on 17,000 images correctly labeled to
【correspond to more than 200 genetic syndromes. The team then asked the AI to identify
potential genetic disorders from a further 502 photographs of people with such conditions. It included
the correct answer among its list of 10 responses 91 per cent of the time.
Gurovich and his team also tested the AI’s ability to distinguish between different genetic
mutations (突变) that can lead to the same syndrome. They used images of people with Noonan
syndrome, which can result from mutations in one of five genes. DeepGestalt accurately identified the
genetic source of the physical appearance 64 per cent of the time.
“It’s clearly not perfect,” says Gurovich. “But it’s still much better than humans are at trying to
do this.”
As the system makes its assessments, the facial regions that were most helpful in the
determination are highlighted and made available for doctors to view. This helps them to understand
the relationships between genetic make-up and physical appearance.
The fact that the diagnosis is based on a simple photograph raises questions of privacy. If faces
can reveal details about genetics, then employers and insurance providers could, in principle, secretly
use such techniques to discriminate against people with a high probability of having certain disorders.
However, Gurovich says the tool will only be available to doctors. Christoffer Nellaker at the
University of Oxford says this technique could bring significant benefits for those with genetic
syndromes.
“This is not fundamentally different information than we’re sharing walking down the street, or
we’re happy to share with Facebook or Google,” he says. “But questioning the data in this way means
you can obtain information about health or disease status.
“The real value here is that for some of these extreme rare diseases, the process of diagnosis can
be many, many years. This kind of technology can help narrow down the search space and then be
confirmed through checking genetic markers,” he says.
For some diseases, this kind of technology will cut down the time to diagnose thoroughly. For
others, it could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease and, in turn, help find
new treatments or cures.
42. What is the purpose of Gurovich’s neural network?
A. To test the AI’s ability.
B. To analyze photographs of faces.C. To help doctors reduce the range of the diagnosis.
D. To research the overall impression of patients’ faces.
43. What disadvantage does Deep Gestalt bring?
A. It will probably involve in the people’s privacy.
B. It cannot provide information about health or disease.
C. The diagnosis based on a simple photograph is not accurate.
D. It could perhaps add a means of finding other people with the disease.
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The result of the assessments for this system is perfect.
B. Deep Gestalt can correctly label 200 genetic syndromes.
C. It seems doubtful to use AI to distinguish genetic mutations.
D. This kind of technology can speed up the diagnostic process.
45. What is the author’s attitude to this technique?
A. Supportive. B. Puzzled.
C. Doubtful. D. Negative.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。
The World Water Day has been celebrated annually on 22 March since1992. Each year has a
different theme, looking at things like the role of clean water in the world of work, ways to stop
wasting water, finding ways to supply water to underprivileged groups and so on.
___46___But it is also vital for sanitation(卫生). It is estimated that more than 700 children under
the age of seven die every day from illnesses linked to unsafe water and poor sanitation. The right to
water and sanitation was recognized as a human right. ___47___ These include rural communities,
people who have been displaced due to war and local conflicts and areas where climate change is
making water more and more scarcer.
Apart from the obvious health issues, a lack of accessible clean water means that people – often
women and children – spend hours every day walking to and from distant water supplies. This means
they don’t have time to dedicate to work, studies and other domestic duties. ___48___And people who
are not able to walk to get their own water are particularly vulnerable.
There are many charities working on creating sustainable supplies of clean water for different
communities around the world. ___49___But the fundamental problem of increasing demand for a
limited resource can only be addressed by more efficient use of water, especially in industry and
agriculture. Waste-water recycling, capturing rainwater, more efficient irrigation techniques and
reforestation are all examples of how water can be used more efficiently.___50___We should support charities, raise awareness, take part in the World Water Day events
that are happening all around the world and, of course, be careful with how we use water in our own
lives. Visit the UN World Water Day website to find out about an event near us. Follow world water
day on social media and help spread the word about this incredibly important issue.
A. Clean drinking water is fundamental.
B. As individuals, what can we do to help the issue?
C. The search for water becomes their main occupation.
D. This important work needs to continue and to expand.
E. Every living cell in the body needs water to keep functioning.
F. In normal conditions, the human body can only survive three or four days without water.
G. However, there are still at least 2.1 billion people around the world living without safe water.
