How I Turned to Be Optimistic
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times”.
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule:almost all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

Hey, mom,
I want you to stop dropping me off at the airport for some trip that I am about to take and start becoming my seatmate. I want to travel with you — just you.
I want to explore a new place with a woman who raised me, who put up with my teenager anxiety and my rebellious (叛逆的) college years. I want to see my favorite cities with the lady who taught me basic life lessons, such as looking both ways before crossing the street, how to use a glue gun, and that the most important thing in the world is to help others.
I always appreciated the vacations you planned for our family. I also remember how you watched me as I read The Great Gatsby on the balcony at midday. I wonder if you felt proud of me. These days, I am sick of traveling to places with wishy-washy (无主见的) friends. I want to travel with a strong woman who can see how capable I am of learning to speak French or hiking on a glacier or eating something as unpleasant-smelling fruit.
Now I want you to see how much I grow up while abroad — I’m a different person, Mom. And I know you’d be different too. I know that someone has shared a similar burst of emotion while diving into Australia’s Great Barrier Reef for the first time.
So what do you say, Mom? Will you throw responsibility to the wind? I want to travel with you. Let’s just go — we can go anywhere in the world, just you and I. You can pick the place, and I will do the rest.
Love,
Katka

Airport security is there to protect you, but it may also give you a cold -or worse .
To all the places and surfaces we’ve been warned are covered with germs-the subway seat, airplane cabins, the ATM-add the airport security trays(托盘). The plastic security trays -used at airport checkpoints around the globe and touched by millions of passengers as they drop shoes, smartphones, baggage and other items into them to clear X-ray scanners-have been found to have a variety of germs in them, including the ones responsible for the common cold, according to researchers in Europe.
Scientists from the University of Nottingham in England examined frequently touched surfaces at Helsinki Airport in Finland during and after peak hours in the winter of 2016 and found rhinovirus, the source of the common cold in them. They found it on half the baggage trays, more than on any of the other surfaces they tested. It wasn't found on toilet surfaces at the airport. The findings could help improve public health strategies in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases worldwide.
The European Union has funded a research project, called PANDHUB, on preventing the spread of“high--threat ” pathogens(病原体) on public transportation, and the study by the University of Nottingham is part of that project .
"The presence of germs in the environment of an airport has not been examined previously, said Niina Ikonen, who was involved in the study.
Finavia, the company that operates Helsinki Airport, said in an email,“At Finavia airports, the hygiene(卫生) standards are applied in accordance with health officials' requirements-all surfaces are cleaned daily and all security checkpoint trays, etc., are washed regularly."
Washing your hands properly and coughing into a tissue or sleeve, especially in public places, can help minimize the risk of catching infectious diseases, said Jonathan Van-Tam, a professor at the University of Nottingham. "These simple measures can help prevent the spread of germs and are most important in crowded areas like airports that have a high volume of people traveling to and from many different parts of the world." he added.
12. What should air passengers do according to Van-Tam?
A. Avoid touching other people . B. Spend less time at the airport .
C Bring as little luggage as possible . D. Try to reduce the effect of their coughs .
13. What is special about the study?
A. It focuses on"high-threat" pathogens .
B. It is the first to test for microbes on surfaces at airports.
C. It has found a new way to cure infectious diseases .
D. It has led to a research project called PANDHUB.
14. What did Finavia express in the email?
A. They explained why hygiene was important .
B. They felt quite doubtful about the findings.
C. They had recognized their mistakes .
D. They had done what was required.
15. What did the scientists find at Helsinki airport?
A. Airport security trays had a lot of germs in them.
B. Wet surfaces offered good places for germs to live.
C. Viruses spread quicker during and after peak hours.
D. Airline passengers were more likely to catch a cold on planes.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“The presence of germs in the environment of an airport has not been examined previously(机场环境中细菌的存在以前没有被检查过)”可知,这项研究独特的地方在于,它首次检测了机场的各种表面上的微生物。故选B。
【14题详解】

【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述了AI(人工智能)现在逐渐变得更人性化以更好地服务人们的生活,但是它并不会完全取代人工客服。
【1题详解】
考查“特殊疑问词+动词不定式” 结构。句意:当谈到人工智能这个角色发生了令人震惊的变化时,机器人正在教人类如何变得更加人性化。分析句意的需要可知,此处应填入特殊疑问词how,表示“如何”,“how to be more humane”这个结构是由特殊疑问词(how )与不定式短语连用而形成的,它相当于一个名词,在本句中作teach的宾语,故填how。
【2题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意:Humana Pharmacy为他们的客服中心创建了一个AI算法,该算法指导员工对客户要更友善、更有同情心。根据and后面的“more compassionate”可知,此处应该填入形容词kind 的比较级和它并列,故填kinder。
【3题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:该系统是由一家名为Cogito的AI公司构建的,并重新审视了如何正面利用AI。结合and后面的takes可知,该句描述的是一般事实,使用一般现在时,主语system(单数意义)和build之间是被动关系,句子应该使用被动语态,故填is built。
【4题详解】
考查冠词。句意:该系统是由一家名为Cogito的AI公司构建的,并重新审视了如何正面利用AI。look(名词)在句中为泛指意义,new是以辅音音素开头的单词,因此其前使用不定冠词a,take a new look at意为“重新检视”,故填a。
【5题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:该程序是用来提醒客服中心的员工他们是否说话太快,太大声或太温柔,或者某段时间内没有说话。固定短语be designed to do:旨在,目的是,不定式在句中作目的状语,故填to tell。
【6题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:AI会找出表明不友善沟通的特定行为和模式,例如提高声音,说话快,长时间的沉默和那些可能与同情心的缺乏或压抑有关的其他指标。pattern(模式)在句中是可数名词,应使用复数和behaviors并列,故填patterns。
【7题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:AI会找出表明不友善沟通的特定行为和模式,例如提高声音,说话快,长时间的沉默和那些可能与同情心的缺乏或压抑有关的其他指标。分析句子结构可知,空格处引导限制性定语从句,先行词indicators(指物)意为“指标”,它在从句中作主语,故填that/which。
8题详解】
考查动名词。句意:该程序的目的是让代理人可以更好地了解如何透过声音信号的分析来达到更有效率的沟通。介词by后面使用动名词作宾语,故填analyzing。
【9题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意:Cogito的首席执行官Joshua Feast表示,他认为该系统更像是教练,而不是雇员的替代品。固定搭配more of a ... than ... 表示“ 比……更具有……的气质(特点)”,故填than。
【10题详解】
考查副词。句意:Feast说道,“我认为人工客服中心不会被完全取代”。使用副词作状语修饰动词replaced,故填completely。
第四部分:写作(满分20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。
It was Christmas Day. Pappy was working alone fixing an old lantern in the backroom when he heard the ringing of his bell on the shop door. The bell, which produced a uniquely pleasant sound, had been in Pappy’s family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door, Pappy had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell, he left the backroom to greet his customer.
“And how can I help you, little lady?” Pappy’s voice was joyful.
“Hello, sir.” The little girl spoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Pappy with her big brown eyes, and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special. Shyly she told him, “I’d like to buy a present, sir.”
“Well, let’s see,” Pappy said, “who is this present for?”
“My grandpa. It’s for my grandpa. But I don’t know what to get.”
Pappy began to make suggestions. “How about a pocket watch? It’s in good condition.” The little girl didn’t answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Pappy’s face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement.
“This is just right.” the little girl said. “Momma says grandpa loves music.”
Just then, Pappy’s expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girl’s heart, he told her, “I’m sorry, Missy. That’s not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio.”
The girl looked at the radio, bowed her head, and sadly sighed, “No, I don’t think so.”
In an effort to help her understand, Pappy told her that the bell had been his only companion, for the rest of his family were all gone, except for his estranged (疏远的) daughter whom he had not seen for nearly a decade.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him. _________________
_____________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. ______________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________
读后续写
文章第一段主要介绍了Pappy店的门铃响了,本段主要介绍了门铃的特别,以及他对作者的意义,而接下来的几段是小女孩与Pappy的对话,内容反映出小女孩看中的是Pappy的门铃。续写的第一段的第一句话已经给出,从这句话可以看出当小女孩得知铃不卖后很失望,再看下一段第一句,Pappy又听到了熟悉的声音,显然Pappy最后还是卖给女孩了。因此第一段主要写Pappy忍痛割爱,把门铃卖给女孩的过程,而第二段应该是卖了门铃之后,小女孩为Pappy做的事情。
With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him. She managed a forced smile, murmuring“Thank you, anyway” and walked towards the door. Suddenly Pappy thought of his estranged daughter. Feeling a lump in his throat, Pappy called out,“How much have you got to spend, Missy?” Hearing this, the little girl emptied her purse onto the counter --- two dollars. After a quick struggle in his mind, Pappy said,“Today is Christmas Day and this is your lucky day. The bell costs exactly two dollars.” Holding the special bell close to her chest, the child danced out.
Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. He couldn’t believe his ears! There in the doorway stood the little girl, ringing the bell and smiling sweetly. Puzzled, Pappy approached her. “Have you changed your mind, little lady?” “No.”the child grinned, “Momma says the present is for you.”Before Pappy had time to say another word, the child’s mother stepped in. Holding back her tears, she gently said,“Hello, Dad.”
