第二部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分50分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
“Any sufficient advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic，” Arthur C. Clarke famously wrote. That line must have sounded through 5 000 audience brains when CEO Sundar Pichai demonstrated (演示) a new artificialintelligence product called Google Duplex.
Duplex can make reservations at restaurants and hair salons—by placing a phone call to their human receptionists. It perfectly sounds like a human voice, even with “ums”， hesitations and realistic inflections (转调). Here's a short part of the demonstration：
Duplex AI: “Hi. I'm calling to book a woman's haircut for a customer. Um, I'm looking for something around 12 P．M. on May 3.”
Human receptionist: “Sure. Give me one second...”
Duplex AI：“Mmhmm.”
Human receptionist: “Sorry, the closest we have to that is a 1：15.”
Duplex AI：“Do you have anything between 10 A．M. and, uh, 12 P．M.？”
Human receptionist: “Okay, we have a 10 o'clock.”
Many felt how morally wrong it is to act like a human and cheat others. However, Rishi Chandra, vice president for home product management at Google said, “We'll spend much time on different ways to let the receptionists know and inform them that the call is being
recorded.”
Meanwhile Duplex really does fill a need. “How do we bridge this idea that I want to order a pizza, but my local pizza house's not online？” Chandra says. “Today only a very small number of people can have personal assistants doing these things for them. Now can we make that accessible to everyone？”
Receptionists will become accustomed to getting calls from Duplex just as we got used to speaking to Siri on phones or automated (自动化的) menu systems on service hotlines. Someday small businesses will not have to waste time on phone calls, either. Your AI will call their AI—no human interaction required. Then the only question is, what will we do with all our new free time?
21．What is suggested in the first paragraph?
A．5 000 audience enjoyed the sound Duplex made.
B．Arthur C. Clarke wrote a famous story about Duplex.
C．What Duplex can do is so amazing that it's like magic.
D．The name Google Duplex was given by Sundar Pichai.
22．What is shown in the conversation between Duplex AI and a human receptionist?
A．Duplex AI is not patient as a human receptionist.
B．Duplex AI can find the customer a perfect haircut.
C．Duplex AI perfectly makes reservations like a human.
D．Duplex AI cannot make an appointment to the exact time.
23．What is the best title for the passage?
A．A Newly Invented Classic Magic
B．Moral Problems Caused by AI
C．How to Make Reservations on the Phone
D．I'll Have My AI Call Your AI

She may no longer be a part of The Great British Bake Off, but you can't keep Mary Berry away from what she enjoys doing most—taking the nation's favourite recipes and giving them her own unique twist. In her brandnew series, Classic Mary Berry, she promises that every single dish presented has been personally tested at home by her own family—and only those that received a thumbsup (赞许) from everyone made the cut.
It would certainly take a brave person to suggest Mary had got it wrong. Having started cooking in her twenties, she now has more than 70 cookery books to her name. So what can viewers expect from the new show? “This is food you can cook at home, each focusing on a different style of food, dishes with simple techniques and tips on what you can
prepare ahead，” Mary says. “Classic me！”
It wasn't until she was 75 that she found fame, following the launch (推出) of Bake Off in 2010. Her chemistry with baker Paul Hollywood and presenters Sue Perkins and Mel Giedroyc quickly turned the show into the most popular series on TV. But in 2017, when it moved to Channel 4, Mary decided she would remain with the BBC.
Mary, who has two children and four grandchildren, lives with Paul, her husband, for 51 years, in Buckinghamshire, where they grow much of what they eat in their own garden. But while Paul is on hand to help tend to the fruit and veg, Mary insists that the kitchen remains her kingdom. Although Mary turns 83 next month, there is no suggestion of her slowing down and even less of retiring. “We all do things that we enjoy，” she explains. “I find cooking is very relaxing. I cook something and everyone goes, ‘Isn't that delicious? Can we have it again？’ I find that so rewarding. I hope I inspire people to enjoy family cooking. Life is all about sharing. If we are good at something, let us pass it on. That is the pleasure I get.”
24．What do we know about Bake Off?
A．It sold cookery books.
B．It remained with the BBC.
C．It was launched by the BBC.
D．It was hosted on Channel 4 initially.
25．What made Mary Berry famous?
A．Deciding to stay with the BBC.
B．Helping to launch Bake Off in 2010.
C．Teaching her colleagues chemistry on TV.
D．Creating an inviting atmosphere on the show.
26．What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Mary enjoys working with her family in their own garden.
B．Mary is quite confident that her cooking will be well received.
C．Mary receives some suggestions that she slow down or retire.
D．Mary doesn't want to be disturbed when cooking in the kitchen.
27．What can be a suitable title for the text?

B．Creating Her Own Unique Style
C．Refusing to Slow Down or Retire
D．Making the Kitchen Her Kingdom

Before the 1830s, most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems
a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.
The trend, then, was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public, It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.
This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible (but not easy) to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830, but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer's office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older wellknown papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase “penny paper” caught the public's fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.
This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well. Some of the early ventures (企业) were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It look a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.
28．Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?
A．Academic. B．Unattractive.
C．Inexpensive. D．Confidential.
29．What did street sales mean to newspapers?
A．They would be priced higher.
B．They would disappear from cities.
C．They could have more readers.
D．They could regain public trust.
30．Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?
A．Local politicians.
B．Common people.
C．Young publishers.
D．Rich businessmen.
31．What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?
A．It was a difficult process.
B．It was a temporary success.
C．It was a robbery of the poor.
D．It was a disaster for printers.
D
Charles Robert Darwin, born on 12 February, 1809, was an English naturalist, geologist and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.
Darwin's early interest in nature led him to neglect his medical education at the University of Edinburgh; instead, he helped to look into marine invertebrates (海洋无脊椎动物). Studies at the University of Cambridge encouraged his love for natural science. His fiveyear voyage on HMS Beagle established him as an famous geologist whose observations and theories supported Charles Lyell's uniformitarian (均变论者的) ideas, and publication of his journal of the voyage made him famous as a popular author.
Puzzled by the geographical placement of wildlife he collected on the voyage, Darwin began to study it carefully, and in 1838 built up his theory of natural selection. Although he discussed his ideas with several naturalists, he needed time for extensive research and his geological work had been ahead of time. He was writing up his theory in 1858 when Alfred Russel Wallace sent him an essay that described the same idea, causing immediate publication of both of their theories: On the Origin of Species. In the common publication with Alfred Russel Wallace, he introduced his scientific theory that this branching pattern of evolution resulted from a process that he called natural selection, in which the struggle for existence has a similar effect to the artificial selection involved in selective breeding (繁衍). His theory that all species of life have passed on over time from common ancestors is now widely accepted, and considered a foundational concept in science.
Darwin has been described as one of the most influential figures in human history, and he was honored by burial in Westminster Abbey after his death on 19 April 1882.
32．What did Darwin do when he was 29 years old?
A．He studied at the University of Cambridge.
B．He started his fiveyear voyage on HMS Beagle.
C．He started to form his famous theory about nature.
D．He published his theory with Alfred Russel Wallace.
33．What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A．How Darwin's theory became public.
B．What the content of Darwin's theory is.
C．How Darwin discovered his famous theory.
D．Why Darwin worked with Alfred Russel Wallace.
34．What can be inferred from the text?
A．Darwin was strongly against uniformitarian ideas.
B．Artificial selection is the best way in selective breeding.
C．Westminster Abbey is a burial place for famous people.
D．Darwin was the only discoverer of natural selection then.
35．In which section of a magazine can the text be found?
A．People. B．Activities.
C．Philosophy. D．History.

The story between Mr. Jordan and me was the most amazing story I wanted to share. Mr. Jordan was one of the teachers who I would never forget.
When I was young at school, I loved talking, a characteristic not always appreciated by Mr. Jordan, my 10grade English teacher.
Mr. Jordan was a teacher whom no one liked because he was too strict. He stood about 5footfive, was very thin and wore his hair pulled back in a way that gave him a horsy look. He wore those halfcircular reading glasses. Whenever he got upset, he would lower his head and look at you over the top of his glasses.
One day in his class I was busy talking. I didn't realize he had stopped teaching and staring straight at me. “Sam, I would like to see you after school.”
Later Mr. Jordan explained in a low, but very firm voice that showed he expected me to listen when he was talking. For punishment he told me to write a thousandword essay on education and its effect on the economy. He wanted it in by the following Wednesday.
Well, I met my deadline. I was confident. It was a good paper. And I expected a sign of approval from him. The next day in class, however, he was looking at me over his glasses. He called me forward and returned my paper. “Go back and rewrite，” he said. “Remember, each paragraph is supposed to begin with a topic sentence.” When he gave my paper back a second time, he corrected the grammar. The third time, the spelling. The fourth time, it was punctuation. The fifth, it wasn't neat enough. I was sick!
The sixth time, I rewrote the whole paper slowly in ink, leaving generous space. When he saw it, he removed his glasses and smiled. He firmly accepted the paper. After that, I put the whole thing out of my mind.
Paragraph 1：
One day after two weeks, Mr. Jordan came into the class and said ________________________________________________________________________

Earthquakes are something that most people fear.There are some places which have few or no earthquakes.Most places in the world，however，have them regularly.Some places，like Iran and Guatemala have them regularly.Countries that have a lot of earthquakes are usually quite mountainous.
The most talked about earthquake in the United States was in San Francisco in 1906.Over 500 people died in it.The strongest one in North America was in 1964.It happened in Alaska.
Earthquakes are not the only acts of nature that people fear.Floods and tidal waves also cause people to be afraid.So do bad storms like typhoons
and cyclones.Sometimes these things cause lots of deaths.In 1970，cyclone and tidal wave killed over 200,000 in Pakistan.
These kinds of things made people afraid and they are very dangerous.But they do not worry people as much as earthquakes，especially in the modern times.The reason is that we often know they are coming，we have some warning.So far，however，no sure way is known to predict an earthquake.When one comes，it is a surprise.People cannot prepare for it.

Paragraph 1：
One day after two weeks, Mr. Jordan came into the class and said, “Class, do you still remember the essay contest held in our school? They've announced the winners. I am so glad to inform you that Sam has won the first prize in the essay contest with the title ‘Education and Its Effect on the Society’．” Then thunderous applause rocked the classroom. After class, many classmates asked me how I made it. Without excellent writing skills, I well remembered that I told them it was all about sixtimes rewriting urged by Mr. Jordan.
Paragraph 2：
I was amazed, thrilled and grateful. It was the first time I had ever won a prize. Years later, I told many people that story, and my comments, including my unfriendly description of Mr. Jordan's appearance. Unexpectedly, Mr. Jordan wrote to me, and said that his look wasn't important. What was important was the lesson I had learnt. When I wrote and rewrote that paper for him, I began to learn how to discipline myself. I was grateful for the lesson he had taught me.
