二、阅读理解（共4题，共 20分）

26、 Rivers are the veins of the Earth, transporting the water and nutrients (营养物) needed to support the planet’s ecosystems, including human life. While many nutrients are essential to the survival of life, there is one element transported by water in rivers that holds the key to life and to the future of our planet — carbon.

Carbon is everywhere and understanding the way it moves and is either released or stored by the Earth system is a complex science in itself. Carbon starts its journey downstream when natural acid rain, which contains carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, melts minerals in rocks. This helps transform carbon dioxide to bicarbonate (碳酸氢盐) in the water that then flows in our rivers. This is a very long process, which is one of the main ways carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere. Carbon is transported by rivers to oceans and once that carbon reaches the ocean, it is stored naturally in deep sea sediments (沉淀物) for millions of years.

As carbon travels down a river, different processes may impact whether it continues to flow downstream or whether it is released into the atmosphere. For example, human engineering, like extensive dam construction, will result in dramatic changes to how water and sediments travel down the river. Some carbon that fails to reach the sea may return to the atmosphere in some way, which causes more warming.

Earth’s climate is closely related to the carbon cycle. We all know about the essential role of plants in consuming carbon dioxide, but do we know enough about rivers? Changing the chemistry and the course of rivers may have significant impacts on how they transport carbon. Remember: wherever we live, we all live downstream.

【1】Where is the carbon in rivers originally from?

A.The atmosphere. B.The rocks.

C.The acid rain. D.The upstream areas.

【2】Why is human engineering mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A.To show how important to life carbon is.

B.To explain how necessary it is to build dams.

C.To show how a natural process is interrupted.

D.To explain how humans fight global warming.

【3】What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph?

A.We’d better move upstream to live.

B.We should protect plants along rivers.

C.We’d better seek more help from plants.

D.We should be cautious about river management.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A.What Humans Do with Rivers

B.How Rivers’ Transporting Carbon Counts

C.What the Carbon Cycle Means to Us

D.How Living Downstream Affects the Earth

27、 “Big data” lives up to its name: We produce 2.5 quintillion bytes (字节) of data every day through the digital connections that link people, objects, and devices. Every email, text, post, online search and doctor’s visit contribute to big data.【1】

Many believe it is. Stores are using it to improve our shopping experience.【2】 In the United States, Macy's department store credits big data with improving their customer satisfaction and helping to increase sales by 10 percent.

Banks are also putting quite a lot of money into big data.【3】 One area to benefit is customer service, where valuable information collected is supporting speedier decisions on loans (贷款) and credit while providing better protection against theft and even overspending.

Health care is also seeing a marked difference. Data collection is helping to reduce preventable deaths, improve quality of life, predict and cure diseases.【4】 Big data searches for patterns to predict how cancers will behave and recently led to the breakthrough discovery that a commonly used antidepressant (抗抑郁剂) has the potential to help find a cure for lung cancer.

Big data is still just getting started, but it already influences almost every area of our lives — mostly attempts to make them better. By 2021, there will be 200 billion connected devices.

【5】 If computational power and data scientists can keep pace with such growth, the potential for big data to make an even bigger difference is huge.

A.It’s even used in cancer research.

B.But is big data really making a difference?

C.Why is big data important to your business?

D.Over $20 billion were spent on data analysis in 2016.

E.Without big data analysis, companies are blind and deaf.

F.And we’re predicted to produce 1.7 million bytes of data per person, per second.

G.Data analysis enables stores to predict popular products and ensure competitive pricing.

28、Saltwater and dry desert climate may not seem good for growing healthy produce,but that is exactly what a group of scientists has managed to do.Researchers from the UK-based Seawater Greenhouse Company have discovered a good way to farm fruit and vegetables simply by using solar power and salt water for watering and cooling in dry areas.

The company has developed plantation(种植园)projects in dry areas such as Australia, Abu Dhabi, Somaliland, Oman, and Tenerife. Although these places are dry, the plantations are able to grow thousands of pounds of produce simply by making 'cooling houses' out of thick walls of cardboard(硬纸板).While glass greenhouses are designed to keep gardens wet and warm, the cardboard walls use evaporative cooling(蒸发冷却)to keep the inside of the plantations wet and cool.

An exciting new study says that plants grow well down below solar panels(太阳能板)and they produce more energy. The design of the waving-cardboard panels helps to cool down the wind coming from the outside. At the same time, a small solar-powered machine offers sea water at the top of the panels so at it can drop down through the walls of the cardboard for evaporation. This evaporative cooling skill creates the perfect conditions for farming produce in the dry areas. Additionally, since the seawater is repeatedly collected, the salt can be left onto the outside of the walls. Not only does this help to make the cardboard strong, it can also be collected and sold for increasing income.

According to Seawater Greenhouse founder Charlie Paton，you would only need about 10 square miles of 'cooling houses' to feed all of Somaliland, which is a country of about four million people. Upon completing the company's Somaliland project in November 2017, it now produces about 300 to 750 tons of tomatoes every year. Paton says that he is very excited for his company to start even more projects in dry areas around the world.

【1】What kind of places will welcome plantation projects?

A．Cold areas with less sunlight.

B．Dry and hot areas near the sea.

C．Cold and wet places.

D．Dry desert areas.

【2】What is the advantage of the plantation project in dry areas?

A．It can help plants grow quicker.

B．It doesn't produce waste materials.

C．It uses solar energy instead of electricity.

D．It gets extra income by cooling seawater.

【3】Why is Somaliland mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．To show the high output of the project.

B．To tell people the need for food there.

C．To let people know its agriculture.

D．To introduce its large population.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．The farming conditions of dry areas.

B．The wide use of solar panels in farming.

C．Helping solve Somaliland’s food problems.

D．Using saltwater to grow produce in dry areas.

29、 A new study from MIT has found that piano lessons have a very specific effect on kindergartners’ ability to distinguish different pitches (音高), which translates into an improvement in distinguishing between spoken words. However, piano lessons did not appear to provide any benefit for overall intelligence, as measured by IQ, attention span (注意力集中时间), and working memory.

The 74 children participating in the study were divided into three groups: one that received 45-minute piano lessons three times a week; one that received extra reading instruction for the same period of time; and one that received neither of these. All children were 4 or 5 years old and spoke Mandarin as their native language.

After six months, the researchers tested the children on their ability to distinguish words based on differences in vowels (元音), consonants (辅音), or tone (音调). Better word distinguishing usually comes with better phonological awareness – the awareness of the sound structure of words, which is a key part of learning to read.

Children who had piano lessons showed a significant advantage over children in the extra reading group in distinguishing between words that differ by one consonant. Children in both the piano group and extra reading group performed better than the third group when it came to distinguishing words based on vowel differences.

The researchers also used electroencephalography to measure brain activity and found that children in the piano group had stronger responses than the other children when they listened to a series of tones of different pitch. This suggested that a greater sensitivity to pitch differences is what helped the children who took piano lessons to better distinguish different words, Desimone says.

“That’s a big thing for kids in learning language: being able to hear the differences between words,” he says. “They really did benefit from that.”

In tests of IQ, attention, and working memory, the researchers did not find any significant differences among the three groups of children.

Desimone says he hopes the findings will help to convince education officials who are considering abandoning music classes in schools not to do so.

【1】What do we know about the study?

A.The participants were divided into four groups.

B.All the participants spoke English as their native language.

C.The participants were tested after a period of six months.

D.The ages of the participants ranged from 4 to 15 years.

【2】What did the researchers find in their study?

A.Children in the piano group had better awareness of the differences among words.

B.Children in the piano group performed better in the IQ test.

C.Children in the extra reading group had better awareness of sounds.

D.Children in the extra reading group performed better in the IQ test.

【3】What does Desimone think is an important ability for kids learning a language?

A.The ability to imitate certain sounds.

B.The ability to tell the differences between sounds.

C.The ability to remember new sounds and words.

D.The ability to relate sounds to real objects.

【4】With the findings, what does Desimone want education officials to do?

A.To have more music classes in schools.

B.Not to end music classes in schools.

C.To provide more types of musical instruments to schools.

D.Not to force students to study music if they are unwilling to.

四、短文填空（共4题，共 20分）

34、Directions: Complete the following passages by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Tablets are really useful devices, but their big screens always make them a burden to carry around without a bag. Wouldn’t it be great if there were a phone with the powers of a tablet that could be folded up and fit 【1】 into the hand?

Now something like a tablet-shaped but fold-able phone is about to become 【2】. In February, South Korean electronics company Samsung and China’s Huawei both unveiled fold-able phones Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X 【3】. Mobile phone use has entered the “fold-able future”, The Verge noted.

The technology could change our lives in significant ways. These devices, due to their 【4】 screens, give us the larger screens we want. Meanwhile, they still fit easily into the pocket. As USA Today noted, they’re “the 【5】 of a small tablets and smart-phone, all in a single device”.

The technology could 【6】 other devices too. For example, we could make TVs that stick to walls like posters, or fold up easily to hide away in drawers. In crowded modem cities, they will help us to 【7】 available space.

In a keynote address, Samsung’s senior vice president of mobile product marketing, Justin Denison, called the fold-able screen “the 【8】 for the smart-phone of tomorrow.” “It’s a balank canvas for us to do something beautiful together,” he said.

So is there nothing to stand in the way of the fold-able future?

According to tech news website Android authority, the necessary displays were difficult to produce. In 2012, nine out of every to OLED screens produced were 【9】. Today, that 10 percent rate has been improved to between 50 and 90 percent. However, at present these fold-able devices are expensive. For example, the price of Huawei Mate X is 17,500 RMB. That’s a price that may 【10】 the majority of people.

But if the fold-able device isn’t going to change the world overnight, there is no doubt that it is coming.

Patrick Moor-head, an industry analyst told The Verge, “Few are debating if fold-able or roll-able mobile displays are the future of smart-phones; the only question is when and by whom.”

35、Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Internet E-commerce and globalization are making a new economic age possible. In the future, capitalist markets will largely be replaced by a new kind of economic system based on 【1】 relationships, contractual arrangements and access rights.

Has the quality of our lives at work, at home and in our communities increased in direct proportion to all the new Internet and business-to-business Internet services being introduced into our lives? I have asked this question of hundreds of CEOs and corporate executives in Europe and the United States. Surprisingly, virtually everyone has said, “No, quiet 【2】.” They say they are working longer hours, feel more stressed, are more impatient, and are even less civil in their dealings with colleagues and friends-not to mention strangers. And what’s more revealing, they place much of the blame on the very same technologies they are so 【3】 supporting.

The technological leader promised us that access would make life more convenient. Instead, the very technological wonders that were supposed to 【4】 us have begun to enslave us in a web of connections from which there seems to be no easy 【5】.

If an earlier generation was preoccupied with the quest to enclose a vast 【6】 land, the .com generation, it seems, is more caught up in the colonization of time. Every spare moment of our time is being filled with some form of commercial connection, making time itself the 【7】 of all resources.

And while we have created every kind of labor-and time-saving device to service our needs, we are beginning to feel like we have less time available to us than any other humans in history. Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connections really 【8】 in the e-economy age. If this new technology 【9】 is only about super efficiency, then we risk losing something even precious than time-our sense of what it means to be a(n) 【10】 human being.

A huge milestone has just been reached in the field of artificial intelligence: AlphaGo, a program developed by Google’s DeepMind unit, has defeated legendary Go player Lee Se-dol in the first of five historic matches being held in Seoul, South Korea. Lee 【1】 after about three and a half hours, with 28 minutes and 28 seconds remaining on his clock. The series is the first time a professional 9-dan Go player has taken on a computer, and Lee is 【2】 for a $1 million prize.

“I was very surprised,”said Lee after the match.“I didn’t expect to lose. But I didn’t think AlphaGo would play the game in such a perfect manner.”DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis expressed“huge 【3】 for Lee Se-dol and his amazing skills.”calling the game“hugely exciting”and“very tense.”Team lead David Silver said it was an“amazing game of Go that really pushed AlphaGo to its 【4】.”

Go is an ancient Chinese board game that has long been considered one of the great 【5】faced by AI. While computer programs ow best the world’s leading human players of games like checkers and chess, the high level of intuition and 【6】required by Go has made it tough for computers to crack. DeepMind’s AlphaGo program is the most 【7】effort yet, using a complex system of deep neural networks and machine learning; it beat European champion Fan Hui last year, but Lee Se-dol is another 【8】 rival entirely.

“I don’t regret accepting this challenge,”said Lee.“I am in shock, I admit that, but what’s done is done. I enjoyed this game and look forward to the next. I think I failed on the opening layout so if I do a better job on the opening aspect I think I will be able to increase my 【9】 of winning.”Lee was surprised both by how strong AlphaGo’s opening was, and by some 【10】moves.

My daughter

(A story told by a father, a famous actor)

My wife and I only had the one child. We had Amy.

I see her as my best friend. I think she’d always come to me first if she had a problem. We have the same sense of humor, and share interests. 【1】 I don’t mind animals, she’s completely fascinated with them, and she has always had dogs, cats, horses, and goldfish in her life.

We were 【2】 (close) when she was about four, which I think is a lovely age for a child. They know the parents best, and don’t have outside contacts. She must have grown up suddenly when she went to school, because I remember her growing away from her family slightly. Any father who has a teenager daughter comes across an extraordinary collection of people, and there seemed to be an endless stream of strange young men 【3】 (come) through our house. By the time I learned their names they 【4】 (go) away and I had to start learning a new lot.

I wanted more than anything else for her to be happy in 【5】 she was doing, and I was prepared to pull strings to help her on her way. When she left a good school she decided she wanted to become an actress so I got her into drama school. It wasn’t to her liking so she joined a theatre group and began doing bits and pieces in films. She was doing well, but then gave it up. She probably found it boring. Then she took up social work, and finally went to work 【6】a designer and he became her husband. And that’s really the story of her life. She must be happy with him—they’re always together.

We have such similar tastes in books and music 【7】 I used to take her to see an opera, which is my big passion. However, I don’t think she likes it very much. She doesn’t come with me anymore.

I don’t think she’s a big television watcher. She knows when I’m on the television, and she 【8】 watch, but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she tells me.

We’re very grateful for Amy. She’s a good daughter as daughters go. We’re looking forward to being grandparents.

“I’m going to miss you so much, Poppy,” said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.

His parents were not quite able to control theirs. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.

The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. “I guess this is it,” he said. “I’ll see you back home in a month, okay?” His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy’s mother turned to the dog, “Okay, Poppy, time to go back home.”

The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn’t seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn’t.

They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn’t her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. “What should we do to cheer Poppy up?” asked Dad. “We’ve tried everything.”

“I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy,” smiled Mom. “Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let’s get a little dog for Poppy.

It didn’t take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging (摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

注意：

Para 1：Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.

Para 2：A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university.

40、”阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为120左右。

My fiance(未婚夫）and I were excited about shopping for our first home.But our funds were limited,and none of the houses in our price range seemed satisfactory.

One agent recommended a house in particular..Although her description sounded wonderful,the price was beyond our range,so we declined.But she kept urging us to have a look at least.

We finally did and it was love at first sight:It was Our Home,small and charming, overlooking a quiet lake.Walking through the rooms and talking with the owners,a nice elderly couple,we felt the warmth and happiness of the marriage within that home.As perfect as it was,the price remained too high for us.But every day,we would sit by the lake, looking at the house and dreaming of what it would be like to live there.

Days later,we made a(n)offer-far below the asking price.Surprisingly,they didn't laugh at us.They renewed their offer instead.It was also much more than we could afford,but far less than the original asking price.

The next day,we got a disappointing message that another buyer had offered a much higher price.Even so,we decided to talk with the owners directly.We made our final offer, which still was thousands of dollars 'less than' the other buyer's bid.We knew it,but we had to try.Nobody knew if we could get it.

Paragraph 1:We went to the owners' home after we made our final offer.The other buyer came to visit the owners too.

Paragraph 2:The owner looked at us and said,"I want to sell my house to you!"
