阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Hitchhiker’ s Guide to the Galaxy (HG2G) by Douglas Adams
This is a comedy science-fiction series about a man’s adventures in space. It was initially a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is extremely funny and inventive, and has a very British sense of humor, whose true meanings foreign readers can hardly make out though it has been translated into French and Italian and so on. But when I read it I feel a strong connection to my home. It was published in paperback by Pan Books, after BBC Publishing had turned down the offer of publishing a novelization, an action they later regretted.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Have you ever read a description of a landscape or countryside that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who is taken to live in a big house in my hometown and discovers a secret garden.
Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
This book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a young orphan(孤儿), Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. This book always reminds me of my family, especially my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.
The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It is also set in Yorkshire where I was born and spent my childhood, and follows three children living next to a railway and their adventures.
21. What do we know about HG2G?
A. It was based on true adventures.
B. Its language is abstract and inventive.
C. It was adapted for radio after being published.
D. Its humor is hard for foreigners to understand.
22. Which books are set in the same place?
A. Daddy-Long-Legs & HG2G. B. The Secret Garden & The Railway Children.
C. The Secret Garden & HG2G. D. Daddy Long Legs & The Railway Children.
23. What do all the books have in common?
A. They follow children’s adventures.
B. They are British countryside series.
C. They refer to the author’s childhood.
D. They bring memories of home to the author.
B
What do you do with money? Do you spend it or save it? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money?
Pocket money
Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing.
Different families give different amounts and the average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about ￡6 (53 yuan) a week. A report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money.
Part-time work
A part-time job is an option for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15 percent of teenagers have a job. Only children over 13 can work but there are some exceptions, for example, for actors. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers, shop work and restaurant or café work.
There are strict government laws about children working. They can work a maximum of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays, they can work longer hours. As for wages, the national minimum wage for under-18s is around ￡4 per hour and it increases every year. Its minimum wage is higher if you are older.
Banks
In Britain, some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal (法定的) age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account.
So, many teenagers are getting experience of working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent adult and earning and looking after your own money.
24. What do we know about the pocket money children in Britain receive?
A. 8- to 15-year-olds get about £6 a month as their pocket money.
B. Many children save over 25 percent of their pocket money.
C. Girls prefer to save more pocket money than boys.
D. Pocket money can only be earned at home.
25. What did we learn about children doing part-time jobs in Britain?
A. Children working part-time should be above 15 years old.
B. Children should work no more than two hours each day.
C. Children are not allowed to work during school hours.
D. Those under-18s can earn at least £4 per hour.
26. What is required for a teenager to open a bank account?
A. Reaching the age of 13. B. A bank manager’s permission.
C. A parent’s permission. D. Having a minimum amount of money.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some tips for teenagers to look after their own money.
B. Challenges facing teenagers to manage their pocket money.
C. What teenagers should do to become financially independent.
D. How teenagers benefit from earning and dealing with their money.
C
Google says it will no longer permit its artificial intelligence, or AI technology to be used in any activities involving weapons. The policy was one of several new principles aimed at guiding the company’s development and sale of AI technology and tools.
The principles were announced after more than 4,000 Google employees signed a document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement, known as Project Maven, with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Kirk Hanson is director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California. The center examines how ethics can be used as guidelines for technology development. He decided that the protest by Google employees against the U.S. military agreement was based on fears that AI technology could lead to the creation of weapons which might cause disasters to humans.
“If you have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and automatically launches weapons, you have an autonomous weapon. Just as with driverless vehicles, autonomous weapon systems may not be as safe as their supporters promise. We should be more concerned about how an autonomous weapon might make a mistake. Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as good as we think it is? And until we have trust that those systems will not make mistakes, we’re going to keep skeptical about the use of artificial intelligence.”
A top Department of Defense official was asked about the use of autonomous weapons during an event last year at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said such systems should never be used to replace human commanders.
Google chief Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI technology for all military uses. He said Google will still seek government projects in areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.
28. What new policy has Google announced about its AI technology?
A. To expand its application fields. B. To absorb advanced technologies.
C. To encourage its exchange activities. D. To restrict serving military purposes.
29. The underlined word “ethics” (in Paragraph 3) probably means ________.
A. moral principles B. military challenges
C. traditional virtues D. applied technologies
30. What is Hanson’s attitude to the AI technology for defense?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Confused.
31. What can we infer about Google and the Department of Defense?
A. They blame each other for the deal.
B. They share the same concern about AI.
C. No more deals will be possible between them.
D. They will continue to cooperate in other areas.
D
A few years ago, my sisterinlaw started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of afterclass activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sisterinlaw “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. ” Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not?
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them, ”she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smartphone，”he said. For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.
When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them, ”said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”．
32．What's the result of the author's sisterinlaw using the app?
A．She felt good with knowing her daughter's afterschool activities.
B．She wasn't worried about her daughter any more.
C．She had more communication with her daughter.
D．She had more conflicts with her daughter.
33．What can we learn about today's teens from Homayoun?
A．They doubt family agreements.
B．They are worried about online safety.
C．They dislike being watched secretly with tracking apps.
D．They welcome the use of tracking apps.
34．Why are Mark Bell and his daughter mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A．To show how to use smartphones safely.
B．To give an example of being straight with children.
C．To teach how to put tracking apps on phones.
D．To tell the importance of being children's friend.
35．What should be done before using a tracking app according to Weigle?
A．Teach the kid how to use it. B．Check the kid's phone.
C．Tell the kid about it. D．Advise the kid to use his/her phone less.

Hello Everyone！I'm Li Hua from Senior 3. My topic today is“Say No to smartphones at school.”
Although the smartphone plays an important role in people's daily life, it is also a double-edged sword. Inappropriate use of it may bring some downsides for us students.
Some students with a smartphone get so addicted that they are hugely impacted. First, smartphones will distract their attention in class，thus, their school work can be seriously affected. Besides，some students even use the phones till late into the night, which can cause some health problems such as bad eyesight and abnormal sleep patterns. Finally, it may compromise their face- to- face communication with others.
Therefore，I strongly advocate that students should be prohibited from carrying smartphones. Let's say No to smartphones at school.
That's all. Thank you for listening!

M: Is it very valuable? I mean, I know you don’t want to sell it or anything but is it worth a lot of money?
W: No, not at all. It doesn’t even tell the right time! It’s just an ordinary watch but it’s special to me because it really reminds me of my grandfather.
M: Is your grandfather still alive?
W: No, he isn’t. He died 2 years ago. He left the watch to me in his will.

Welcome to Ocean Life. It’s wonderful to see so many people here today. Since some of you haven’t been here before, let me tell you something about our sea park. Ocean Life is set in fantastic grounds and we advise you to spend several hours wandering around. There are over forty shows, as well as plenty of other activities for all the family. We feel that it is better that some sea creatures such as whales and sharks aren’t kept in a sea park, because they have better lives in their natural homes. However, although you won’t see these creatures here, you will learn about them in many of our interesting and educational shows.

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The Hitchhiker’ s Guide to the Galaxy (HG2G) by Douglas Adams
This is a comedy science-fiction series about a man’s adventures in space. It was initially a radio comedy broadcast on BBC Radio 4. It is extremely funny and inventive, and has a very British sense of humor, whose true meanings foreign readers can hardly make out though it has been translated into French and Italian and so on. But when I read it I feel a strong connection to my home. It was published in paperback by Pan Books, after BBC Publishing had turned down the offer of publishing a novelization, an action they later regretted.
The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett
Have you ever read a description of a landscape or countryside that made you feel like you were actually there? For me, this book does exactly that. It is about a young girl who is taken to live in a big house in my hometown and discovers a secret garden.
Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster
This book takes the form of a series of letters, and follows the story of a young orphan(孤儿), Judy, as she goes to university and discovers a whole world of new experiences. This book always reminds me of my family, especially my mother, because she used to read it to me when I was ill in bed.
The Railway Children by E. Nesbit
This was one of my favorite books when I was younger, and for this reason it still strongly reminds me of England and my childhood. It is also set in Yorkshire where I was born and spent my childhood, and follows three children living next to a railway and their adventures.
21. What do we know about HG2G?
A. It was based on true adventures.
B. Its language is abstract and inventive.
C. It was adapted for radio after being published.
D. Its humor is hard for foreigners to understand.
22. Which books are set in the same place?
A. Daddy-Long-Legs & HG2G. B. The Secret Garden & The Railway Children.
C. The Secret Garden & HG2G. D. Daddy Long Legs & The Railway Children.
23. What do all the books have in common?
A. They follow children’s adventures.
B. They are British countryside series.
C. They refer to the author’s childhood.
D. They bring memories of home to the author.
B
What do you do with money? Do you spend it or save it? Do you get pocket money from your parents or do you work to earn money?
Pocket money
Most teenagers in Britain receive pocket money from their parents. They might have to do chores to get their pocket money, helping at home with tasks like cleaning, cooking, washing up, taking out the rubbish and ironing.
Different families give different amounts and the average for eight-to-fifteen-year-olds in the UK is about ￡6 (53 yuan) a week. A report found that many children save at least a quarter of their weekly pocket money and that more boys than girls save their money.
Part-time work
A part-time job is an option for teenagers who don’t have pocket money or who want to earn extra money. About 15 percent of teenagers have a job. Only children over 13 can work but there are some exceptions, for example, for actors. Popular part-time jobs for teens include babysitting, delivering newspapers, shop work and restaurant or café work.
There are strict government laws about children working. They can work a maximum of two hours a day on a school day but not during school hours. At weekends and during school holidays, they can work longer hours. As for wages, the national minimum wage for under-18s is around ￡4 per hour and it increases every year. Its minimum wage is higher if you are older.
Banks
In Britain, some children and teenagers have a bank account. There is no legal (法定的) age limit at which you can open a bank account, but a bank manager can decide whether to allow a child or young person to open an account. Parents can put pocket money directly into their child’s bank account.
So, many teenagers are getting experience of working part-time, dealing with banks and deciding whether to save or spend their money. These are all steps towards becoming a financially independent adult and earning and looking after your own money.
24. What do we know about the pocket money children in Britain receive?
A. 8- to 15-year-olds get about £6 a month as their pocket money.
B. Many children save over 25 percent of their pocket money.
C. Girls prefer to save more pocket money than boys.
D. Pocket money can only be earned at home.
25. What did we learn about children doing part-time jobs in Britain?
A. Children working part-time should be above 15 years old.
B. Children should work no more than two hours each day.
C. Children are not allowed to work during school hours.
D. Those under-18s can earn at least £4 per hour.
26. What is required for a teenager to open a bank account?
A. Reaching the age of 13. B. A bank manager’s permission.
C. A parent’s permission. D. Having a minimum amount of money.
27. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Some tips for teenagers to look after their own money.
B. Challenges facing teenagers to manage their pocket money.
C. What teenagers should do to become financially independent.
D. How teenagers benefit from earning and dealing with their money.
C
Google says it will no longer permit its artificial intelligence, or AI technology to be used in any activities involving weapons. The policy was one of several new principles aimed at guiding the company’s development and sale of AI technology and tools.
The principles were announced after more than 4,000 Google employees signed a document calling for the company to cancel an AI agreement, known as Project Maven, with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Kirk Hanson is director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University in California. The center examines how ethics can be used as guidelines for technology development. He decided that the protest by Google employees against the U.S. military agreement was based on fears that AI technology could lead to the creation of weapons which might cause disasters to humans.
“If you have artificial intelligence which identifies targets and automatically launches weapons, you have an autonomous weapon. Just as with driverless vehicles, autonomous weapon systems may not be as safe as their supporters promise. We should be more concerned about how an autonomous weapon might make a mistake. Is that artificial intelligence targeting system as good as we think it is? And until we have trust that those systems will not make mistakes, we’re going to keep skeptical about the use of artificial intelligence.”
A top Department of Defense official was asked about the use of autonomous weapons during an event last year at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Air Force Gen. Paul J. Selva, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said such systems should never be used to replace human commanders.
Google chief Pichai said the company does not plan to stop providing AI technology for all military uses. He said Google will still seek government projects in areas such as military training, Internet security and search and rescue.
28. What new policy has Google announced about its AI technology?
A. To expand its application fields. B. To absorb advanced technologies.
C. To encourage its exchange activities. D. To restrict serving military purposes.
29. The underlined word “ethics” (in Paragraph 3) probably means ________.
A. moral principles B. military challenges
C. traditional virtues D. applied technologies
30. What is Hanson’s attitude to the AI technology for defense?
A. Enthusiastic. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Confused.
31. What can we infer about Google and the Department of Defense?
A. They blame each other for the deal.
B. They share the same concern about AI.
C. No more deals will be possible between them.
D. They will continue to cooperate in other areas.
D
A few years ago, my sisterinlaw started to feel concerned about her teenage daughter. What was she doing after school? Where was she spending her time? My niece was an excellent student, and took part in all kinds of afterclass activities. Even so, her mom decided to put a tracking app (跟踪应用程序) on the kid's phone.
At first, this made my sisterinlaw “feel better”. Then the good situation suddenly ended. She recalled, “I found out that she was someplace that she said she wasn't. I went out in the middle of the night and found her walking without shoes in the middle of the street with some friends. ” Things went quickly downhill for the mother and the daughter after that.
With 73% of teens having their own smartphones now, more and more of their parents are facing the question: To watch or not?
Ana Homayoun, founder of Green Ivy Educational Consulting, has advised many parents and their kids about this. “I've found teens are more acceptable to tracking apps when it is included as part of a family agreement to improve safety than when it is placed as a secret tool to watch them, ”she said.
Mark Bell, a father of a teenage girl, said, “We don't have tracking apps, but we have set some ground rules that my daughter must follow in exchange for us providing a smartphone，”he said. For example, his daughter must “friend” him on social media so that he can read posts, and must share all passwords.
When you're trying to build trust, you need to create an environment that encourages it. So, to win their trust, you always need to be straight with your children. “Parents must let children know how and when they'll be watching them, ”said Doctor Pauleh Weigle. If they're not open about it, he warns, it can “greatly damage the parent and child relationship”．
32．What's the result of the author's sisterinlaw using the app?
A．She felt good with knowing her daughter's afterschool activities.
B．She wasn't worried about her daughter any more.
C．She had more communication with her daughter.
D．She had more conflicts with her daughter.
33．What can we learn about today's teens from Homayoun?
A．They doubt family agreements.
B．They are worried about online safety.
C．They dislike being watched secretly with tracking apps.
D．They welcome the use of tracking apps.
34．Why are Mark Bell and his daughter mentioned in Paragraph 5?
A．To show how to use smartphones safely.
B．To give an example of being straight with children.
C．To teach how to put tracking apps on phones.
D．To tell the importance of being children's friend.
35．What should be done before using a tracking app according to Weigle?
A．Teach the kid how to use it. B．Check the kid's phone.
C．Tell the kid about it. D．Advise the kid to use his/her phone less.

Hello Everyone！I'm Li Hua from Senior 3. My topic today is“Say No to smartphones at school.”
Although the smartphone plays an important role in people's daily life, it is also a double-edged sword. Inappropriate use of it may bring some downsides for us students.
Some students with a smartphone get so addicted that they are hugely impacted. First, smartphones will distract their attention in class，thus, their school work can be seriously affected. Besides，some students even use the phones till late into the night, which can cause some health problems such as bad eyesight and abnormal sleep patterns. Finally, it may compromise their face- to- face communication with others.
Therefore，I strongly advocate that students should be prohibited from carrying smartphones. Let's say No to smartphones at school.
That's all. Thank you for listening!

M: Is it very valuable? I mean, I know you don’t want to sell it or anything but is it worth a lot of money?
W: No, not at all. It doesn’t even tell the right time! It’s just an ordinary watch but it’s special to me because it really reminds me of my grandfather.
M: Is your grandfather still alive?
W: No, he isn’t. He died 2 years ago. He left the watch to me in his will.

Welcome to Ocean Life. It’s wonderful to see so many people here today. Since some of you haven’t been here before, let me tell you something about our sea park. Ocean Life is set in fantastic grounds and we advise you to spend several hours wandering around. There are over forty shows, as well as plenty of other activities for all the family. We feel that it is better that some sea creatures such as whales and sharks aren’t kept in a sea park, because they have better lives in their natural homes. However, although you won’t see these creatures here, you will learn about them in many of our interesting and educational shows. Education is important, but we know that being interested while finding things out is more important, especially for our younger visitors. Our specially trained staff can answer any of your questions about the sea, sea life, pollution and protection. We also encourage school visits, and help teachers by providing information and ideas for use in the classroom. Ocean Life is also known for saving sea creatures. We offer care for injured creatures sent to us and we return them to their natural homes when they are strong enough. We also take part in many projects throughout the world, and it is our aim to make sure that our visitors become aware of the problems and dangers that affect sea life. Ok, thanks for listening to me.
