“Let’s go outside and water the plants urged Fionamy energetic 4-year-old granddaughter， during recent visit from Maryland to my New Jersey home.
Fiona and filled our watering cans. Out we went and I walked directly to the newly-planted begonias(秋海棠).“No, Granny, what about the grass and that tree?” Fiona insisted, pointing to the sycamore tree (悬铃木) that decorated a patch of earth between the sidewalk and the street, typically cared for by the town.
Through Fiona’s eyes, the begonias the grass and the tree were all equal in nature’s esteem, all worthy of attention and care. At first, I didn’t want to deny my red begonias preferential treatment. I thought that the rain or the town would tend to the grass and the tree.
Even so, I turned and joined in Fiona's universal watering party.
Thanks to Fiona, I saw how the grass and the sycamore tree could assume their rightful place, equal to the begonias. They, as nature would have it, were all consumed by neighborhood deer several days after Fiona returned to Maryland.
I wondered if I sincerely accept all of nature and all people with an open mind and heart. My time with Fiona inspired me to doubt myself since I couldn't even apply my equalitarian beliefs to a tree, grass and flowers.
I paused and reflected on unspoken prejudice, the tendency for stereotyped(模式化的) thoughts to pass automatically through our minds. It makes people overgeneralize, sometimes leading to unfairness even when people feel they are being fair.
Studies on unspoken prejudice show that sorting people, nature and objects into categories is a natural phenomenon. However, too often, dehumanizing prejudices are swept along by prejudices rooted early in life. Rarely do we question these opinions. Instead, we may assume, quite wrongly, that some people are less worthy, less valuable or, worse, hateful and dangerous.
4. What did Fiona want the author to do when they were out?
A. Clean a patch of earth for the town.
B. Tell her more about the sycamore tree.
C. Help make the sidewalk and the street more attractive.
D. Water the begonias, the grass and the sycamore tree.
5. How did the author feel about Fiona's suggestion at first?
A. Curious. B. Uncertain. C. Uninterested. D. Supportive.
6. What made the author take a fresh look at the grass, the tree and the begonias?
A. They were all eaten by deer.
B. They were found in Maryland by Fiona.
C. They were all close to the neighborhood.
D. They received the same attention and care.
7. What can we infer about unspoken prejudice from the last paragraph?
A. It is what fools use for reason.
B. It often leads to unfairness.
C. It is the original form of serious prejudice.
D. It pushes people to think about what goes wrong.
【答案】4-7 DCAB
【语篇解读】本文是夹叙夹议文。一次与孙女共同浇灌植物的经历引发了“我”对偏见的思考。
4. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中的I walked directly to the newly-planted begonias. “No, Granny, what about the grass and that tree?”可知, Fiona希望“我”能对秋海棠、草坪以及悬铃木一视同仁，给它们都浇点水。
5. C 推理判断题。根据第三段中的At first, I didn’t want to .. tend to the grass and the tree可推知，作者刚升始对 Fiona的提议并不感兴趣。
6. A 细节理解题。根据第四段中的Thanks to Fiona, I saw how ...after Fiona returned to Maryland可知，几天后, 作者发现这三种植物都会被街区的鹿吞食，这时作者才意识到这三种植物在自然界中的地位是平等的。
7. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的 However, too often ..worse, hateful and dangerous可推知, 无言的偏见常常会导致不公平。
C
Google’s self-driving car is designed to work without a gas pedal (踏板) or steering wheel (方向盘). Now, the company has decided that the car doesn’t have any windscreen wipers either, because there’s no need for passengers to see where they are being driven.
The car requires no input from a driver, except telling it the destination. There is no driving in the way we know it and all people inside the cars will be passengers who can spend their time paying no attention to the road. While the car may not need windscreen wipers, the absence of them may make passengers feel helpless if they are unable to see where they are going clearly.
Google’s two-seater “bubble” cars have buttons to begin and end the drive, but no other controls. An on-board computer uses data from sensors, including radar (雷达) and cameras, to make turns and keep away from people walking in the street and other vehicles. Under the vision made public by Google, passengers might set their destination by typing it into a map or using voice commands. The new car can’t go faster than 25 miles per hour (40 km/h). It is electric and has to be recharged after 80 miles (129 km). They can only be used in areas that have been thoroughly mapped by Google.
Google has been testing its self-driving cars since 2009 and its new model without a steering wheel since early this summer. It intends on making its driverless cars available to consumers in the next five years. The final goal of the project is computer-controlled cars that can get rid of human error, which results in about 90 percent of the 1.2 million road deaths worldwide each year and it was also inspiring to start with a blank sheet of paper.
8. Why may people feel helpless riding in Google’s self-driving car?
A. There are no other controls. B. They have no idea of the destination.
C. They are unable to see the road clearly. D. The car is traveling too fast.
9. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. The tests the car needs to pass.
B. How Google’s self-driving car works.
C. The development of the new car.
D. What the drivers need to drive the car.
10. What does the underlined word “recharged” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Filled with electricity.
B. Repaired from time to time.
C. Asked for some money again.
D. Designed into a new style.
11. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Google began to test self-driving cars this summer.
B. Driverless cars will be available to consumers next year.
C. Google’s computer controlled cars fire the drivers’ inspiration.
D. Most of the road deaths are caused by drivers.
【答案】 8-11 CBAD
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了谷歌的自动驾驶汽车，它没有油门踏板或方向盘，也没有任何挡风玻璃雨刷，正在测试阶段，希望早日面向消费者。
8. C 细节理解题。由第二段中的“While the car may not need windscreen wipers, the absence of them may make passengers feel helpless if they are unable to see where they are going clearly.”（虽然汽车可能不需要挡风玻璃雨刷，但如果没有雨刷，如果乘客看不清方向，可能会感到无助。），可知没有雨刷，下雨天乘客看不清方向/路，乘客会无助。故选C项。
9. B 主旨大意题。由第三段中的“Google’s two-seater “bubble” cars have buttons to begin and end the drive, but no other controls. An on-board computer uses data from sensors, including radar (雷达) and cameras, to make turns and keep away from people walking in the street and other vehicles. Under the vision made public by Google, passengers might set their destination by typing it into a map or using voice commands.”（谷歌的双座“泡泡”汽车有开始和结束驾驶的按钮，但没有其他控制。车载电脑利用来自传感器的数据，包括雷达和摄像头，来进行转弯，以避开在街上行走的人和其他车辆。根据谷歌公布的设想，乘客可以通过在地图上输入或使用语音命令来设定目的地。），可知本段介绍了谷歌的自动驾驶汽车是如何工作的。故选B项。
10. A 词义猜测题。由划线单词的前句“It is electric”（它是电动的），可知谷歌的自动驾驶汽车是电动的，需要充电，跑完80英里后一定要充满电，recharged在“has to be recharged after 80 miles (129 km)”中意为“充满电”。故选A项。
11. D 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“The final goal of the project is computer-controlled cars that can get rid of human error, which results in about 90 percent of the 1.2 million road deaths worldwide each year and it was also inspiring to start with a blank sheet of paper.”（该项目的最终目标是计算机控制的汽车，它可以消除人为失误，人为失误导致全球每年120万道路死亡人数的90%左右，从一张白纸开始这也是令人鼓舞的。），可知人为失误导致全球每年120万道路死亡人数的90%左右，说明大多数道路死亡是由司机造成的。故选D项。
D
Faster, cheaper, better-technology is one field many people rely upon to offer a vision of a brighter future. But as the 2020s dawn, optimism is in short supply. The new technologies that dominated the past decade seem to be making things worse. Social media were supposed to bring people together, but they are better known for leaking privacy. E-commerce, ride-hailing (网约车) and the gig economy (零工经济) may be convenient, but they are charged with underpaying workers, worsening inequality and blocking the streets with vehicles.
Today's pessimistic mood is centered on smart phones and social media, which took off a decade ago. Yet concerns that particular technologies might be doing more harm than good have arisen before. The 1920s witnessed a criticism against cars, which had earlier been seen as an answer to the problems caused by horse-drawn vehicles which filled the streets with noise and animal waste and caused accidents. And industrialization was criticized in the 19th century by Romantics who worried about the replacement of skilled workers, the robbing of the countryside and the suffering of factory hands.
However, that pessimism can be overdone. Too often people focus on the drawbacks of a new technology while taking its benefits for granted. Worries about screen time should be weighed against the much more substantial benefits of convenient communication and the instant access to information and entertainment that smartphones make possible. A further danger is that Luddite (反对技术进步者) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits-something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a "technology trap". Fears that robots will steal people's jobs may discourage their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their standard of living as their workforce ages and shrinks will need more robots, not fewer.
Any powerful technology can be used for good or ill. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. Perhaps the real source of anxiety is not technology itself, but growing doubts about the ability of societies to hold this debate, and come up with good answers. So as the decade turns, put aside the pessimism for a moment. To be alive in the tech-obsessed 2020s is to be among the luckiest people who have ever lived.
12. What phenomenon is described in Paragraph 1?
A. The seriousness of social inequality.
B. The rapid development of technology.
C. Problems brought by personal privacy leaks.
D. Worries about the influence of new technologies.
13. Which word can best describe Romantics' concern over industrialization?
A. Negative. B. Uncertain. C. Sympathetic. D. Enthusiastic.
14. What might be a result of a "technology trap"?
A. A lack of good jobs in the job market.
B. An increase in the number of Luddites.
C. A decrease in the number of skilled workers.
D. An interruption to the advancement of a new technology.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Pessimism vs Progress B. Technology vs Civilization
C. 2020s: The Age of Technology D. Robots: Our Future Caretakers
【答案】12-15 DADA
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。作者从近些年火热起来的电子商务，网约车，零点经济等入手，介绍了科技给人们带来巨大便利的同时也使很多人感到担忧，从而提出人们如何选择和使用科技才是使社会进步的关键。
12. D 推理判断题。根据第一段后三句“Social media were supposed to bring people together, but they are better known for leaking privacy. E-commerce, ride-hailing (网约车) and the gig economy (零工经济) may be convenient, but they are charged with underpaying workers, worsening inequality and blocking the streets with vehicles.”（社交媒体本应将人们团结在一起, 但它们更出名的是泄露隐私。电子商务、网约车和零工经济或许很方便, 但它们都被指控给工人支付了较低的工资, 加剧了不平等, 还用车辆堵塞了街道。）可知，第一段中提到了新媒体泄露隐私信息，网约车阻塞街道，电子商务缺乏公平，工人报酬低等问题，从而对新技术所产生的影响表示担忧。故选D。
13. 观点态度题。根据第二段最后一句“And industrialization was criticized in the 19th century by Romantics who worried about the replacement of skilled workers, the robbing of the countryside and the suffering of factory hands.”（在19世纪, 浪漫主义者批评工业化, 他们担心技术工人的替代, 农村的掠夺和工厂工人的痛苦。）可知浪漫主义者对工业化的态度是消极的。故选A。
14. 推理判断题。根据第三段“A further danger is that Luddite (反对技术进步者) efforts to avoid the short-term costs associated with a new technology will end up denying access to its long-term benefits-something Carl Benedikt Frey, an Oxford academic, calls a “technology trap”. Fears that robots will steal people’s jobs may discourage their use. Yet in the long run countries that wish to maintain their standard of living as their workforce ages and shrinks will need more robots, not fewer.”（更严重的危险是，路德派试图避免与新技术相关的短期成本，最终会阻碍其长期利益的获得——牛津大学学者卡尔•贝内迪克特•弗雷称之为“技术陷阱”。对机器人会抢走人类工作的担心可能会阻碍机器人的使用。然而，从长远来看，那些希望随着劳动力老龄化和劳动力缩减而维持其生活水平的国家将需要更多的机器人, 而不是更少。）可知, 人们虽然担忧机器人会使很多人失业, 但是从长期来看, 机器人有助于改善人们的生活水平, 社会需要更多的机器人, 而“技术陷阱”反对机器人的应用, 进而会阻碍机器人技术的进步, 由此可知，“技术陷阱”可能会导致一项新技术进展的中断，故选D项。
15. 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Any powerful technology can be used for good or ill. It is the choices people make about it that shape the world. ”（任何强大的技术都可能被用于好的地方或坏的地方。人们做出的选择塑造了这个世界。）可知，作者从近些年火热起来的电子商务, 网约车, 零点经济等入手, 介绍了科技给人们带来巨大便利的同时也使很多人感到担忧，从而提出人们如何选择和使用科技才是使社会进步的关键。故选A。

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述的是一个受欢迎的研究生学位，称为MBA学位。
36. skills 考查名词。句意：他们培养了许多公司所需要的技能。设空处在句中作宾语，skill(技能)为可数名词，设空处前无限定词修饰，故应用复数形式。故答案为skills。
37. different 考查形容词。句意：所有的MBA课程都教授不同的科目，包括组织结构、金融、市场营销和政策。设空处后为名词，故设空处应用形容词修饰名词。故答案为different。
38. that/which考查定语从句的引导词。句意：然后学生们在自己感兴趣的领域进行更多的学习。设空处为引导词引导定语从句，先行词为areas，设空处在从句中作指物的主语。故答案为that/which。
39. longer 考查形容词的比较级。句意：许多项目需要更长的时间才能完成。设空处前为even（甚至、更），修饰比较级，故设空处应为比较级形式。故答案为longer。
40. to/into 考查介词。句意：要想被录取，外国学生必须通过托福考试证明对英语有清晰的理解。be admitted to/into…被允许进入…, 故此处的答案为to/into。
41. understanding 考查名词。句意见上题解析。设空处前为形容词，形容词修饰名词，故设空处应为名词，又因设空处前有不定冠词a，故设空处应为名词单数形式。故答案为understanding。
42. are used 考查谓语动词的时态和语态，句意：每年全世界有超过1500个研究生项目使用这个测试的分数。设空处在句中作谓语，和句子的主语之间是被动关系，时间状语every year，说明时态是一般现在时。故设空处应为一般现在时的被动语态。故答案为are used。
43. an 考查冠词。句意：攻读MBA的费用可能很高。MBA为可数名词单数，故设空处应为冠词，结合句意，此处表示泛指。因MBA开头为元音音标。故答案为an。
44. To get 考查非谓语动词。句意：要获得更多关于学习学位的信息，使用计算机并访问一个叫做MBA Explorer的网站。设空处在句中作非谓语，此处表目的，应用to do形式。故答案为To get。
45. their 考查代词。句意：在论坛上，商学院的代表解释他们的课程，并回答那些对学习商业感兴趣的人的问题。设空处后为名词，故设空处应为形容词性物主代词修饰名词。故答案为their。

Dear Peter,
I am glad to learn from your letter that you are going to pay a visit to Xi’an during the National Day Holiday. I’d like to make my suggestions for your two-day trip here.
On the first day, I highly recommend that you go to see the Terra-cotter Warriors, which looks splendid because it contains various life-sized terra-cotter figures of warriors and horses in memory of the first Emperor of Qin. You can finish the day by taking a walk along the ancient City Wall. This solid wall has remained standing for over 1000 years. Next day, it will be a great delight to visit Xi’an Historical Museum, where you may be thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different times displayed in the museum.

第二节 (满分25 分)
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- -篇完整的短文。
Having held the interschool storytelling championship for the past two years, I was the shining star of my school. When it came to choosing the right candidate to participate in such competitions, I was always the first choice. Naturally, I was once again selected to represent my school in the approaching contest this year.
Upon hearing the fact that I was chosen again, my classmates and friends acknowledged that I would undoubtedly emerge as the champion again. Consequently, I became conceited. I was so proud that I neglected the importance of practicing for the contest.
A week before the contest, my teacher Ms. Sara asked,“Selena, would you like to stand in front of the class to rehearse for the contest ?” She had tutored me in the past two competitions and knew how important practice was .“Just imagine you are on the stage in the presence of the audience, ”she added .
“ I’m sorry, Ms. Sara, ” I replied .“I have a bit of a sore throat.”
This was usually the lie I would tell whenever my teacher requested me to practice in front of the class. I always found excuses to avoid doing it because I believed that I was the best and therefore the practice was unnecessary. On one occasion, I even told Mrs. Sara not to worry too much as I was well prepared for the contest. In fact, I did everything but practice my scrip. I only managed to glance briefly through the story the day before the contest. As the best storyteller among the students of the local secondary schools, I was too
vain to practice and expected everything to be fine.
The contest was being held in the local community hall. On the day of the contest, the hall was packed.
My school teachers and principal were there along with many of my classmates and schoolmates. I was the eighth contestant out of twenty in total. Those who spoke before me did extremely well. On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.
注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Paragraph 1:
Soon, it was my turn to talk.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally, results were announced after the contest.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【参考范文】
Paragraph1:
Soon, it was my turn to talk. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright. I spoke in an expressionless voice and even stuttered a few times as I forgot parts of the story. My legs trembled and so did my voice. On seeing my terrible performance, the judges shook their heads. The supporters from my school looked at me in disappointment. I have never been so embarrassed in my life. In the end I walked off the stage, my eyes filled with tears.
Paragraph2:
Finally, results were announced after the contest. I did not win any prizes -- not even a consolation one. It was not surprising at all. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara. I regretted underestimating my opponents and overestimating myself. My vanity had cost me the championship. I now regretted being so arrogant. I had learned my lesson well and finally understood the meaning of the two sayings, “Pride goes before a fall.” and “Practice makes perfect!”
【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了我狂妄自大地认为自己已经是演讲得最好的人了，甚至是老师在要求我练习的时候也总是找借口逃避。当我在看到其他参赛选手表现非常出色的时候，开始着急、担心了。最后通过自己的失败明白了骄兵必败和熟能生巧这些道理。
【详解】
1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“很快，就该我上场了。”可知，第一段可描写作者在这次演讲比赛中的具体表现。再结合上一段On seeing their fascinating and outstanding performance, I began to lose confidence in myself. My palms sweated heavily and I started to feel nervous.可预知“我”的演讲差强人意。
②由第二段首句内容“最后，比赛结束后宣布了比赛结果。”可知，第二段可描写作者在听到结果(获奖落空)以及听到结果后的心情，最后领悟到的经验教训。
2. 续写线索：上场表演——场上表现——演讲结束——宣布结果——后悔羞愧——领悟感受
3. 词类激活
行为类
①结结巴巴地说：stutter/ speak without fluency
②低估：underrate/ underestimate
③后悔：regret/awake to one's errors
情感类
①尴尬：embarrassed/ awkward
②羞愧：ashamed/ humiliating
【点睛】
[高分句型1]. Facing the crowd, I found myself suffering from stage fright.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语）
[高分句型2]. I felt ashamed when I faced my classmates and of course, Ms. Sara.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句）
