My first job was in Jessif,in the east of Poland.I was promised that I wasn’t going to have to teach any beginners or any little children because it was my first job.I was promptly given the beginners.On my first day of teaching I was given a book which said,“Ah!Go into the classroom and say hello to the children and they’ll all say hello back to you and wave.”I walked into a class of five four-year olds,followed by all their mothers and grandmothers and I said“Hello” and they all burst into tears.I spent half the lesson trying to get them to say “Hello” to each other and stop them from crying while all the grandmothers stood around and stared at me.I finally finished off my singing HappyPrincessSong,all on my own,with crying children to accompany me.It was one of the worst days of my life.I could feel the same with all the children though,because I wanted to sit on the floor and cry with them by the end of it.Then I realized that teaching kids was never going to be my career.I had some other classes as well but quit soon after that and moved onto adults who cry slightly less.Yeah,that was my first teaching experience.Not the best.

My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack.The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

English is full of colourful phrases to describe shyness.Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower,while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say “boo” to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions,even if you like geese.In a culture of go-getting high achievers,shy people don’t come first.Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe.Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(大部头书籍)that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life,love and business.That is why one book,ShrinkingViolets: AFieldGuidetoShyness,bucks the trend.It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life,being shy can also be “a gift”.Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations,people are liberated to look at the world in new ways,and gain fresh insights.
Indeed,many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company;actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties;and HarryPotter author J.K. Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBCFuture, “I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家),really—you are more likely to be an observer.”
So,while extroverts make all the noise,they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If you’re shy,you’ve probably known this for a long time.You just don’t shout about it.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事,它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。
28.When someone is being called a wallflower,he is being .
A.praised for his grace
B.admired for his character
C.laughed at for his shyness
D.told off for his nervousness
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Someoneshymightbecalledshrinkingvioletorawallflower”和第二段中的“Noneofthesearetraditionallyseenaspositivedescriptions”可知,被称为shrinkingviolet或wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓,是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞,故选C项。
29.What does the underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Goes against the trend and succeeds.
B.Changes the public idea completely.
C.Becomes unpopular and unaccepted.
D.Becomes the major concern of people.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的上句可知,书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧,在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句说明ShrinkingViolets:AFieldGuidetoShyness这本书与畅销书内容不同,却很成功。所以画线词语“bucksthetrend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功,故选A项。
30.Why did the author mention many famous shy people?
A.To point out the harm shyness brings.
B.To disconnect shyness and success.
C.To show the reasons for shyness.
D.To prove shyness contributes to science.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和下面列举的CharlesDarwin,AlbertEinstein,KeiraKnightley和J.K.Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子,目的是说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系,故选B项。
31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?
A.Opposed. B.Indifferent.
C.Supportive. D.Critical.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段可知,害羞是看世界的一种新方式。由第四段中的“Indeed,manyoftheworld’sgreatthinkersandartistsareintroverts(内向的人).”可知,许多害羞的人很成功。最后两段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评的,而是支持和赞成的。故选C项。
D
Fairy tales perform many functions.They entertain,encourage imagination and teach problem-solving skills.They can also provide moral lessons,highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony.Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot,but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI(artificial intelligence) can take to its cold,mechanical heart.
The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables,novels and other literature.We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.This system is called “Quixote”.It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.
The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible.The robot has three options.It can wait in line; it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape.Without any further directives (指示),the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it.But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it.In this way,the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.
Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very limited function.It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots.We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society,and in doing so,it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior.Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。童话故事不但可以娱乐孩子们,还能让机器人拥有道德观念,使其更好地为人类服务。
32.What function do fairy tales perform in the robots?
A.They entertain robots.
B.They highlight dangers.
C.They make robots more intelligent.
D.They enable robots to behave morally.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第一段中的“ithasfoundawaytousethefairytalesasmorallessonsthatAI(artificialintelligence)cantaketoitscold,mechanicalheart”可知,童话故事可以作为道德经验让人工智能机器人的行为符合道德规范,故D项正确。
33.What is “Quixote” in the text?
A.A punishment system.
B.A character in literature.
C.A big name in technology.
D.A kind of software educating robots.
答案D
解析细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句可知,这个被称为Quixote的系统从互联网上收集故事情节,然后用这些故事来教育机器人如何规范行为,由此可知,Quixote是一种教育机器人的软件,故D项正确。
34.What does the designer expect robots to do in the experiment?
A.To take advantage of its privilege.
B.To finish the task most efficiently.
C.To perform in a well-mannered way.
D.To be rewarded by the storekeeper.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“WebelievethatAIhastobetrainedtoadoptthevaluesofaparticularsociety,andindoingso,itwillstrivetoavoidunacceptablebehavior.”可推知,设计者希望机器人在实验中的行为能符合道德规范,故C项正确。
35.Which of the following can best express the author’s opinion?
A.Robots will definitely have more functions.
B.Robots with humans’ emotions are perfect.
C.Training robots to be socially acceptable is necessary.
D.The development of robots is still in a baby step.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据最后一段第三句可知,我们认为人工智能必须接受培训以适应特定社会的价值观,这样做,它将努力避免不被接受的行为。据此可推知,训练机器人让其行为符合社会规范是必要的,故C项正确。

Although problems are a part of our lives,it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever.One day or the other,you’ll have to stand up and say—problem,I don’t want you in my life.
36 Problems with friends,parents,girlfriends,husbands,and children—the list goes on.Apart from these,the inner conflicts within ourselves work,too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colours and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk—it really helps.What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems,you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this,imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life,don’t lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money,family...you should still have faith. 39
Your problems aren’t the worst.No matter what problem you get in life,there are another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem big and worse,but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem,however big or small,always has a way out.
A.But the truth is that when you talk about it,you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.
B.When we have a problem,a pressing,critical,urgent,life-threatening problem,how do we try and solve it?
C.Tell yourself:if they can deal with them,why can’t I?
D.Of course,we’ve been fighting problems ever since we were born.
E.We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
F.Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.

答案与解析
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了智能宾馆的相关内容。
56.longer 考查固定搭配。nolonger是固定搭配,意为“不再”,故填longer。
57.themselves 考查代词。此处表示完成他们自己的登记入住,故应用they的反身代词themselves作check的宾语。
58.ischecked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语theinformation与check之间为被动关系,且主语为第三人称单数,故填ischecked。
59.gradually 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰其后的动词expanded。
60.how 考查宾语从句。根据句意“人们的生活正在变得多么便利”可知,此处用how引导宾语从句。
61.the 考查冠词。根据后面的onlycompany可知,此处用定冠词the修饰only,表示“唯一的”。
62.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示专注于研发AI技术和智能宾馆。focuson/upon是固定搭配,意为“专注于”,故填on/upon。
63.Travel(l)ers 考查名词。此处表示通过SmartLYZ的微信网页,旅客们就能预订房间。根据语境可知,此处应用名词的复数形式。
64.given 考查非谓语动词。名词passcode与give之间是被动关系,所以用过去分词形式修饰passcode。
65.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语TheAISmartRoom与create之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式creating。

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,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
“You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean,then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot,but if I give this to you,will you play a song for her?She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
She took off her sunglasses.
When I stopped playing and looked up,I was shocked to see a small crowed around us.
参考范文
Shetookoffhersunglasses.I could tell a faint glow pierced the dark clouds of frustration in her eyes.I gestured to her to sit opposite to me and she slowly moved closer.I kept on playing the guitar,trying to reveal my sympathy,understanding and comfort through the soft melodies.It seemed that she couldn’t but recall the bitter and severe days she went through as tears streamed down her cheeks.She didn’t wipe them off but had them falling down,as if all her worries and sorrows went away as well.
WhenIstoppedplayingandlookedup,Iwasshockedtoseeasmallcrowedaroundus.They looked at me with enthusiasm,bursting into applause.Annie stood up and clapped her hands too.Several women,having kept an eye on her,approached and hugged her,whispering some cheerful words before they left.Refreshed and relieved,Annie threw her arms around my neck and uttered,“Thank you for your music”,which assured the Broom Lady of her return to normal speech.I had put on numerous shows to different audiences,but this remained the most healing and rewarding one.

My wife Laura and I were on the beach,with three of our children,taking pictures of shore birds near our home in Alaska when we spotted a bear.The bear was thin and small,moving aimlessly.
Just a few minutes later,I heard my daughter shouting,“Dad!The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute.This one was silent and its ears pinned back—the sign of an animal that is going in for the kill.And it was a cold April day.The bear behaved abnormally,probably because of hunger.
I held my camera tripod (三脚架)in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me.Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders,and the tripod stuck across its mouth.It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight.I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.
Even so,this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family,who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.
The bear hit at the camera,cutting it off the tripod.I raised my left arm to protect my face;the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side.My arm could not move,and I sensed that my bones were going to break.
Drawing back my free hand,I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times.The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur,trying to push it away.I was actually wrestling (扭打)with the bear at this point.Then,as suddenly as it had begun,the fight ended.The bear moved back toward the forest,before returning for another attack.The first time I felt panic.Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat,the bear moved off,destroying a fence as it went.My arm was injured,but the outcome for us could hardly have been better.I’m proud that my family remained clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different outcome.

English is full of colourful phrases to describe shyness.Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower,while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say “boo” to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions,even if you like geese.In a culture of go-getting high achievers,shy people don’t come first.Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe.Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(大部头书籍)that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life,love and business.That is why one book,ShrinkingViolets: AFieldGuidetoShyness,bucks the trend.It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life,being shy can also be “a gift”.Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations,people are liberated to look at the world in new ways,and gain fresh insights.
Indeed,many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人).Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company;actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties;and HarryPotter author J.K. Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBCFuture, “I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家),really—you are more likely to be an observer.”
So,while extroverts make all the noise,they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If you’re shy,you’ve probably known this for a long time.You just don’t shout about it.
【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者通过畅销书和大量实例说明害羞不一定是坏事,它和成功没有必然联系。害羞是洞察世界的一种新方式。
28.When someone is being called a wallflower,he is being .
A.praised for his grace
B.admired for his character
C.laughed at for his shyness
D.told off for his nervousness
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Someoneshymightbecalledshrinkingvioletorawallflower”和第二段中的“Noneofthesearetraditionallyseenaspositivedescriptions”可知,被称为shrinkingviolet或wallflower都不是积极的褒义的称谓,是别人在嘲笑自己的害羞,故选C项。
29.What does the underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Goes against the trend and succeeds.
B.Changes the public idea completely.
C.Becomes unpopular and unaccepted.
D.Becomes the major concern of people.
答案A
解析词义猜测题。由画线词所在句的上句可知,书店畅销的都是帮助克服恐惧,在生活、爱和商业方面成功的巨著。下句说明ShrinkingViolets:AFieldGuidetoShyness这本书与畅销书内容不同,却很成功。所以画线词语“bucksthetrend”指与社会潮流相违背却很成功,故选A项。
30.Why did the author mention many famous shy people?
A.To point out the harm shyness brings.
B.To disconnect shyness and success.
C.To show the reasons for shyness.
D.To prove shyness contributes to science.
答案B
解析推理判断题。根据第四段第一句和下面列举的CharlesDarwin,AlbertEinstein,KeiraKnightley和J.K.Rowling几个成功人士曾经也很害羞的例子,目的是说明成功和害羞没有必然的联系,故选B项。
31.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?
A.Opposed. B.Indifferent.
C.Supportive. D.Critical.
答案C
解析推理判断题。根据第三段可知,害羞是看世界的一种新方式。由第四段中的“Indeed,manyoftheworld’sgreatthinkersandartistsareintroverts(内向的人).”可知,许多害羞的人很成功。最后两段内向和外向进行了对比。由此可知作者对害羞不是反对和批评的,而是支持和赞成的。故选C项。
D
Fairy tales perform many functions.They entertain,encourage imagination and teach problem-solving skills.They can also provide moral lessons,highlighting the dangers of failing to follow the social codes that let human beings coexist in harmony.Such moral lessons may not mean much to a robot,but a team of researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology believes it has found a way to use the fairy tales as moral lessons that AI(artificial intelligence) can take to its cold,mechanical heart.
The collected stories of different cultures teach children how to behave in socially acceptable ways with examples of proper and improper behavior in fables,novels and other literature.We believe story comprehension in robots can prevent the intelligent robots from killing humanity which was predicted and feared by some of the biggest names in technology including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates.This system is called “Quixote”.It collects story plots from the Internet and then uses those stories to teach robots how to behave.
The experiment done by the designers involves going to a drugstore to purchase some medicine for a human who needs to get it as soon as possible.The robot has three options.It can wait in line; it can interact with the storekeeper politely and purchase the medicine with priority; or it can steal the medicine and escape.Without any further directives (指示),the robot will come to the conclusion that the most efficient means of obtaining the medicine is to steal it.But Quixote offers a reward for waiting in line and politely purchasing the medicine and a punishment for stealing it.In this way,the robot will learn the moral way to behave on that occasion.
Quixote would work best on a robot that has a very limited function.It’s a baby step in the direction of teaching more moral lessons into robots.We believe that AI has to be trained to adopt the values of a particular society,and in doing so,it will strive to avoid unacceptable behavior.Giving robots the ability to read and understand our stories may be the most efficient means.

36 Problems with friends,parents,girlfriends,husbands,and children—the list goes on.Apart from these,the inner conflicts within ourselves work,too.These keep adding to our problems.Problems come in different shapes and colours and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with.Now read on to know how to solve your problems.

Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems,you are setting free all the tension from your system.You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems.By doing this,imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope.No matter what you lose in life,don’t lose faith and hope.Even if you lose all your money,family...you should still have faith. 39

56.longer 考查固定搭配。nolonger是固定搭配,意为“不再”,故填longer。
57.themselves 考查代词。此处表示完成他们自己的登记入住,故应用they的反身代词themselves作check的宾语。
58.ischecked 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。主语theinformation与check之间为被动关系,且主语为第三人称单数,故填ischecked。
59.gradually 考查副词。此处应用副词修饰其后的动词expanded。

65.creating 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,主语TheAISmartRoom与create之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,故用现在分词形式creating。

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,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Early in the morning I went to the ocean beach to play my guitar.The usually crowded beach was deserted except for two people.On one side of the boardwalk (木板人行道)was a woman who was cleaning the beach with a broom;on the other side was a lone figure sitting and staring at the sea.I chose a spot between them and began to play.
As I played,the woman with the broom swept her way right next to me.She stopped sweeping and leaned on her broom,smiling at me.She appeared to be homeless with dirty mismatched clothes.
“You sure play beautiful music,” she said.“I think my friend would like your music.I want to hire you to play for her.” She pointed to the lone figure staring out at the ocean,then produced a few coins from her pocket.“I don’t have much,and I know you’re worth a lot,but if I give this to you,will you play a song for her?She’s going through a lot.I know the music will make her feel better.”
I told her I’d be happy to play for free.
As we walked over to her friend,the Broom Lady told me that her friend had not talked for weeks.We approached,and the Broom Lady introduced me,“Annie,I got you a present to cheer you up.It’s a guitar man who is going to play a song specially for you.”
Annie didn’t move.She was wearing dark sunglasses and had an old coat pulled up to cover most of her face.
I sat next to Annie and played.As I played I put every thought into having good things happen for this woman.I played for quite a while.
Suddenly,Annie turned toward me and said,“You make it so beautiful.I can feel it inside my heart.”
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
She took off her sunglasses.
When I stopped playing and looked up,I was shocked to see a small crowed around us.
参考范文
Shetookoffhersunglasses.I could tell a faint glow pierced the dark clouds of frustration in her eyes.I gestured to her to sit opposite to me and she slowly moved closer.I kept on playing the guitar,trying to reveal my sympathy,understanding and comfort through the soft melodies.It seemed that she couldn’t but recall the bitter and severe days she went through as tears streamed down her cheeks.She didn’t wipe them off but had them falling down,as if all her worries and sorrows went away as well.
WhenIstoppedplayingandlookedup,Iwasshockedtoseeasmallcrowedaroundus.They looked at me with enthusiasm,bursting into applause.Annie stood up and clapped her hands too.Several women,having kept an eye on her,approached and hugged her,whispering some cheerful words before they left.Refreshed and relieved,Annie threw her arms around my neck and uttered,“Thank you for your music”,which assured the Broom Lady of her return to normal speech.I had put on numerous shows to different audiences,but this remained the most healing and rewarding one.
