二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、Last year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The experts said that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part.

Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade students writing more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the State of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by the human readers.

The entrance test commonly used by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.

Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writing against those already examined.

How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.

But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.

【1】What do the teachers think of the computer system?

A．They think highly of the computer systems since they are fast.

B．They don’t think that computers can grade writing as well as people.

C．They believe that computers can understand a writer’s idea well.

D．They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct student’s school work.

【2】Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers?

A．Saving much of teachers’ time.

B．Saving a lot of money.

C．Being fair and objective.

D．Appreciating humor and beauty.

【3】The best title of this passage might be ________.

A．Computer-graded Writing System

B．Human-graded Writing

C．How to Improve Students’ Writing

D．Advantages of E-readers

27、How Spies Are Trained

【1】 A navy, army or air-force officer who has a gift for language, and at the same time is thoroughly trained in the technical side of his work may be considered for active employment. A businessman who travels a great deal may be considered for active employment. After his background has been thoroughly investigated, a man living abroad may be useful as a spy.

In Britain potential spies are to get through psychological tests. For instance, a candidate can be taken in front of a high barrier of barbed (装有倒钩的) wire and told to cross it safely. Also, a spy must be unusually courageous. 【2】 But a spy risks death alone.

The German system of spy training during World War II was more dramatic. After being, given a thorough medical examination, he was led to a shooting range where a machine-gun suddenly opened fire and to his horror a group of men fell to the ground, apparently dead.【3】

Today a prospective new comer is sent to what might be called a spy school where his training is more extensive. He must master codes and ciphers（密码）and develop an extremely great memory because writing them down will be too dangerous. He must become a skilled radio operator and be able to repair his own equipment and he must be able to drive any make of car,【4】 He must be trained in the art of burglary and be skilled at opening locks.

【5】 So it is just understandable that spy schools are not open to everyone. Above all, still another quality is required, He must be a man of moral soundness. Yet he must be prepared to lower himself to the meanest crime in order to complete his Assignment successfully.

A．A soldier fights supported by his comrades.

B．He must become an expert in unarmed fight.

C．A spy must necessarily be carefully selected.

D．The doctor immediately took his pulse and tested his heart.

E．There are several factors causing someone to become a spy.

F．Spying is at any time a confidential, lonely, dangerous and difficult profession.

G．The spy usually contacts no one else, never learning the names of any other spies.

28、After a difficult academic year, we all deserve a wonderful summer holiday, a time for relaxation and celebration. Of course, a big part of any celebration involves food. Many of my holidays, birthdays, days out and good memories are defined by the amazing food that was involved. The sunny weather and long days bring with it a whole selection of meals, recipes and snacks to be enjoyed.

The first thing that summer calls for is a barbecue. Although I don’t have a barbecue at home, a portable barbecue will do the trick and this means that you can enjoy a slightly charred burger wherever you are. Picnics are also a must for summer and I often find they are the most fun when treated like a potluck, with each person bringing along their personal favourites. Cocktail sausages and mini scotch eggs are always my guilty pleasures. As someone from the Suffolk coast, fish and chips are essential. It truly feels like summer when I sit on the beach with chips wrapped in paper on my lap. The coast is the best place to get a seafood treat with fish being caught fresh daily. Besides, you can finish your day with a walk along the beach. Finally, we can’t forget the drinks. Pimms in the sun, well balanced by lemonade and summer fruits, is always delicious. And I find that nothing reminds me more of post-exam celebrations than a pint in a beer garden.

The thing about summer food is that it often becomes food associated with summer memories. Picnics, barbecues, and fish and chips on the beach are more than just delicious meals—they are a way to socialise and have fun with friends and family. Part of the fun comes from lazing in the sun afterwards, swimming in the sea, and playing heartily, which is why our food memories are so powerful.

【1】According to the author, what makes a picnic most enjoyable?

A．Gathering with friends.

B．Sharing delicious foods.

C．Enjoying seafood treats.

D．Introducing different recipes.

【2】Which of the following can best explain the underlined word “portable” in paragraph 2?

A．Multifunctional.

B．Automatic.

C．Easy to carry.

D．Simple to operate.

【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Foods: the trick for a celebration

B．My celebration of summer holidays

C．My summer memories on the beach

D．A taste of sun: foods for my summer

【4】In which part of a newspaper can you most probably read the text?

A．Travel and holiday.

B．Cuisine and life.

C．Sports and fitness.

D．Education and schooling.

29、

A．The Forever Purge.

B．Minions: The Rise of Gru.

C．Peter Rabbit 2: The Runaway.

D．The Tomorrow War.

【2】Whose film can a high school student go if he is a fan of science fictions?

A．Everardo Gout's.

B．Kyle Balda's.

C．Chris McKay's.

D．Will Gluck's.

【3】Which of the following do the four films share in common?

A．Style.

B．Theme.

C．Producing Studio.

D．Release Date.
