W：Yes，in 20 minutes.
Text 2
M：I really need your help on my chemistry paper.
W：OK，I’ll help you with the search，but after that you’re on your own.
Text 3
M：Professor Goodwin，I wasn’t in class yesterday because I had a cold.Could you give me a makeup test?
W：Of course.Come to my office at four o’clock，and we’ll do it then.
Text 4
W：I’m thinking of starting my own tour company.
M：Tour company? But you can’t find your way to your own apartment!
Text 5
M：Can you bill me later?
W：I’m sorry，I can’t.You’re a new patient，so the fee for the first examination is due now.You can pay in cash，by credit card or by check.
M：Well，OK then.
Text 6
W：Someone’s just stolen my purse.I left it on this table while I went to the restroom...and when I came back，I saw a guy running out of the café.He was about 17 with short blond hair.I noticed he had a scar on his forehead.
M：OK，madam.I’ll call the police now.But I’m afraid we aren’t responsible for your loss although it took place here.
W：I know.
Text 7
W：What about having a swimming pool，a dance studio，outdoor tennis courts，and...
M：Hold on a minute；you don’t need outdoor tennis courts.Only four people can use a tennis court.Wouldn’t it be better to have two allweather soccer fields? More students can play.
W：OK，so let’s have the indoor courts for when the weather’s bad.I think there should be a children’s pool as well as a swimming pool.
M：Well，I think a swimming pool will be enough.What do you think about having basketball courts?

M：I think so.I left at ten but Alex said most people didn’t leave until half past eleven.

Text 9
W：How could they do that to our children?
M：What happened？Who would hurt Sam and Erica?
W：No one got hurt yet.I’m just mad about the new bridge.
M：What does the new bridge have to do with our children？I think it’s a nice bridge，by the way.
W：Yeah，a nice bridge that takes money from our kids’ education! The city government decided to spend a certain amount of money on the bridge.But now they’ve found out that the bridge has some problems! Last week，we had a lot of rain，remember？Some bridge workers saw pools of water in places where there shouldn’t be any.The water will affect the bridge in a few years if they don’t fix it now.So，the city government has to spend more money.But they’re going to take money away from schools.I can’t believe it!
M：Why don’t you run for office？Then you can solve our city’s problems.
W：Good idea.I think I will.
Text 10
W：OK，everyone.Today’s presentation is by Nathan.Start when you’re ready，Nathan.
M：OK.Hello，everyone.Our presentation is called A Smaller World and it’s about technology and cultural change.The talk focuses on technology that makes the world smaller.First of all，can you imagine life without cars and planes? Before the invention of these means of transport，people could only travel by train or boat，and they couldn’t travel very fast.Now，with cars and planes，we can travel farther and faster.Some people even live in one country and work in another because they can fly to work.Before we move onto the next type of technology，it is important to remember that planes and cars do have their disadvantages.They can be dangerous and they cause a lot of pollution，and this also changes the way we live.OK.Second，communications technology，like television and the Internet，certainly makes the world smaller.We stay in our house or office，but we can see news and shows from all around the world.With the Internet，we can write and chat to people all over the world.But nowadays，people spend more time using the technology than they do meeting other people.We’re spending more and more of our time in our houses，talking to strangers in other countries，than we are with our friends and neighbors.My grandmother could name all the people in her street，but I don’t even know the names of my neighbors.
W：OK.Thank you，Nathan，that was great.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Every year，Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year.Here，Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.
Ember Mug
It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature，especially in winter.It’s too hot to drink at first，but before we know it，it gets too cold and loses all its taste.The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds，which makes the Ember Mug a great invention.It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature，anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃，once you set it through a smartphone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy，but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook.However，the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help.Developed by BuzzFeed，the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app，which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos.You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do.For example，it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.
Jibo
Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives，but they’re still just faceless speakers.However，Jibo，developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal，has brought smart technology to life.Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”，Jibo looks like a cartoon character.Inside its “head”，there are various sensors and cameras，which allow it to recognize faces and speech.It can also set alarms，remind you of important things，tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了《时代》周刊选出的年度25个最佳发明中的三个，具体介绍这些发明的优点，以及给人们带来的好处。

B
It was the men’s figure skating final of the Winter Olympics when I was 16.I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains：American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada.Both of them had been world champions.Both of them deserved to win.As a Northern Californian，I was for my fellow countryman.He also grew up in Northern California.We’d skated on the same ice.Brain performed successfully.The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I’ll never forget.Brain sat in front of the camera，surrounded by a group of journalists.Brain was talking about his career and his medal，talking to the whole world.A terrible sinking feeling went through me.I could never be in the Olympics，I thought.I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words.
What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I’d freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet，there was so much I would love to say，about my family and all the support they’d given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion.
I worked very hard the next few years—on the ice and especially off.After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them，I got to know them.And they got to know me.Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself，to be honest and gracious and do my best, just like on the ice，to answer their questions.
So when my big moment came four years after Brain’s，I was ready.Remember：when you do the thing you fear most，you put an end to fear.
语篇解读 作者是一名滑冰运动员，在观看冬奥会的一场花样滑冰比赛时，最后看到获胜者接受媒体采访，自己突然害怕起来，担心自己以后也会接受这样的采访，但最后终于克服了这种恐惧心理。
24．What information can we get from the first paragraph?
A．The author lives a difficult life.
B．The author comes from Canada.
C．The author preferred Boitano to win.
D．Orser won the gold medal.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“American Brain Boitano”及“As a Northern Californian，I was for my fellow countryman.He also grew up in Northern California.”可知，作者支持同为美国人的Brain Boitano，更希望他赢。故选C。
25．What did Brain’s press conference remind the author of?
A．Her fear of public speaking.
B．Her pride in Brain’s victory.
C．Her dream of becoming a world champion.
D．Her hard training as an Olympic competitor.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I’d freeze up like the ice beneath my skates！”可知，作者害怕赛后的新闻发布会，害怕接受记者们的提问，害怕在公众场合讲话。故答案为A。
26．What does the underlined word “off” in Paragraph 4 possibly refer to?
A．Challenges in school.
B．Contact with reporters.
C．Achievements in skating.
D．Competitions with others.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据后文的描述“After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them，I got to know them.And they got to know me.”可知，作者除了在运动场上训练以外，还在场下跟记者们打交道，跟他们交流。故off应该指在场下所做的努力，故选B。
27．What was the author ready to do according to the last paragraph?
A．Do her best to win.
B．Enter the Olympic final.
C．Make friends with reporters.
D．Talk to the press afterwards.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So when my big moment came four years after Brain’s，I was ready.”可知，作者已经准备好在赛后接受记者们的采访。故选D。
C
Should I stay or should I go? An LED device(设备) for driverless cars aims to give pedestrians(行人) at a crossing the power to communicate with cars，signaling for them to stop or drive on.
Blink, created by researchers at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London，turns the awkward dance of eye contact and hand gestures that happens when a car slows down while someone is waiting to cross the road into something driverless cars can understand.
Blink combines an organic light display with the windscreen(挡风玻璃) and windows of a car and uses light signals to show pedestrians when the car is aware of their presence.If the car detects a pedestrian，a figure lights up.
If a pedestrian raises a hand as a stop sign, the figure turns green, directing the pedestrian to cross, and the car is prevented from moving forward.If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues.
But George Filip at the University of Nottingham, UK, isn’t certain it is a good idea to give pedestrians control over driverless cars.He says cities could end up crowded because pedestrians keep stopping cars.
“Producers should wait until the novelty of driverless cars has worn off before creating carpedestrian communications systems，” he says.“We need to learn how people actually communicate with autonomous cars.”
The idea is to help people feel more comfortable around driverless cars, says Blink cocreator Raunaq Bose.“It effectively gives pedestrians the carstopping powers of lollipop men and women(帮助学童过马路的交通安全员)．”
The team hasn’t yet tested the device on a driverless car, but Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的可以辅助行人和无人驾驶汽车进行交流的设备。
28．What do we know about Blink?
A．It’s a new car brand.
B．It’s a drivingaid system.
C．It’s a carproducing company.
D．It’s already widely known to the public.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第二、三段的内容可知，Blink可以用来提示汽车该继续通过还是停下来礼让行人，由此可知Blink可以辅助行人和车辆进行交流，是一种辅助驾驶系统。
29．What will a driverless car do when a pedestrian puts a hand to the side?
A．Pick up speed. B．Slow down.
C．Come to a stop. D．Keep moving.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward，the figure turns red and the car continues.”可知，行人把手放旁边意味着车辆可以继续前行。
30．What’s George Filip’s attitude towards Blink?
A．Negative. B．Curious.
C．Uninterested. D．Appreciative.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。由第五段中George Filip提到的这种设备可能会造成交通拥堵可知，他对此持消极态度。
31．What can be inferred from what Bose said?
A．There’s a demand for the device.
B．The device has an uncertain future.
C．The device is perfect for driverless cars.
D．Several companies have begun to use the device.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest”可推知，这种设备有市场需求。
D
According to a new report，the future may be here sooner than we think.A team of academics and researchers predict(预测) underwater cities, personal drones(无人机) and giant skyscrapers(摩天大楼) by the year 2116.The team even predict that we will be vacationing on the moon or even on Mars just in 100 years.
The team of academics include architects，futurists and speakers from the University of Westminster.A lot of the technology needed to do the things predicted is already here; it just needs to be scaled up(扩大) and become more costeffective(划算的)．Experts say that due to the increase in population, humans will live in large urban centers consisting of super tall skyscrapers, taller than anything we have ever seen.Other than going up, the report suggests that there will be “earthscrapers” going as far as 25 stories underground.Meanwhile, they believe that there will be “bubble cities” that produce oxygen using the surrounding water.What’s more, drone technologies are predicted to grow at a rapid rate enabling the everyday man to travel anywhere he wants to go in his personal drone.
The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology.Families will be able to download whatever meal they want from databases of popular chefs and restaurants.Then once you’re done with your 4course 3D printed meal, you can have a large drone take your whole house to a vacation spot you like and have your dinner while enjoying the beautiful scenery.This may sound unbelievable, but given advances in modular(模块化) design and largescale affordable drones, these all may be in store.
Keep in mind that all of these things are just predictions about the future from an independently contracted team, but we are facing an age of rapid development never seen before in human history and these predictions may end up being realized.
Technologies like smart homes and 3D printing will all seem commonplace in the future.To our kids, it will be hard to imagine life without the ability to design and print their toys，or vacation on Mars.
All this technological advancement may sound terrifying to some degree, but you’d better get used to it.Given all the recent advances in medicine, there’s a high likelihood that you may live to see 2116.Then why not see what you can do to help make the future come a little faster?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，讲述了对未来生活的预测。
32．According to the report，future drones will .
A．get energy from the surrounding water
B．send humans to the moon or even Mars
C．be owned by ordinary people
D．be mainly used for travel
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，根据这份报告，未来的无人机将由普通民众拥有。故选C。
33．In the future，the food industry will be affected by .
A．3D printing technology
B．drone technologies
C．popular databases
D．communication tools
答案 A
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology.”可知，在未来，食品工业将受到3D打印技术的影响。故选A。
34．What is the author’s attitude towards the predictions in the passage?
A．Uncertain. B．Hopeful.
C．Dissatisfied. D．Uninterested.
答案 B
解析 观点态度题。根据最后一段内容可知，作者对文章中的预言是充满希望的。故选B。
35．Which would be the best title for the passage?
A．Predictions About Future Life
B．The Developments of New Technologies
C．The Popularity of Drone Technologies
D．Technologies’ Influence on Food and Buildings
答案 A
解析 标题归纳题。根据第一段内容可知，本文是对未来生活的预测。故选A。

Eat more fruits and vegetables.
Looking to eat healthier？ 37 For a longterm solution，make a point of adding fresh produce to your plate，rather than avoiding certain foods.You’ll naturally eat fewer unhealthy foods not because there will be less room on your plate，but because you will be filling it up with satisfying fruits and vegetables.
38
Make a point of looking for the beauty in the world, and you could improve your general happiness.Try to record the details of your life.Start a diary to keep track of the beautiful things in your own life. 39
Listen more，talk less.
During conversations，do you spend all your “listening” time thinking about how to respond to the speaker？ 40 It includes learning what the other person really wants to get across.When it’s clear you truly care about what the other person is saying，you’ll make your relationships better.
A．Ask followup questions.
B．Look for the beauty in life.
C．Start practicing active listening.
D．Look for solutions instead of problems.

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。
Long ago，there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the top of the tree，ate the apples，and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by，the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day，the boy came back to the tree，appearing sad.“Come and play with me，” the tree asked the boy gently.
“I am no longer a kid；I won’t play around trees any more，” the boy replied.“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry，but I don’t have money.However, you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then, you will have money.” The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after that.
The tree was upset.
One day，the boy returned and the tree was so joyful.“Come and play with me，” the tree said.
“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me？”“Sorry，I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.”So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left with delight.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day，the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me！” the tree requested.
“I am sad and becoming old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat？”“Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Many years later，the boy finally returned.
The apple tree is our mother.
参考范文
Many years later，the boy finally returned.Feeling tired，he went to see the apple tree.At the sight of him，the tree said，“I’m sorry，boy，but now I no longer have anything for you，no apples，no branches，no trunk.”“It doesn’t matter.I have no intention of getting anything from you this time.As you know，I’m getting old and nothing is better than a comfortable place to rest，” said the boy.Hearing this，the tree smiled with relief，adding，“My dying trunk is the right one for you.Please come here and have a seat.” The boy did as was told and the tree smiled again.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young，she tries her best to take care of us and play with us.When we grow up，we leave her for some reasons and only come back when necessary or in trouble.But she is always there，waiting for us and ready to give what she owns without complaint.Never does she ask for rewards；instead，it is our happiness that she desires for.So，try to put ourselves in her situation and learn to show concern for her.

M：OK.Hello，everyone.Our presentation is called A Smaller World and it’s about technology and cultural change.The talk focuses on technology that makes the world smaller.First of all，can you imagine life without cars and planes? Before the invention of these means of transport，people could only travel by train or boat，and they couldn’t travel very fast.Now，with cars and planes，we can travel farther and faster.Some people even live in one country and work in another because they can fly to work.Before we move onto the next type of technology，it is important to remember that planes and cars do have their disadvantages.They can be dangerous and they cause a lot of pollution，and this also changes the way we live.OK.Second，communications technology，like television and the Internet，certainly makes the world smaller.We stay in our house or office，but we can see news and shows from all around the world.With the Internet，we can write and chat to people all over the world.But nowadays，people spend more time using the technology than they do meeting other people.We’re spending more and more of our time in our houses，talking to strangers in other countries，than we are with our friends and neighbors.My grandmother could name all the people in her street，but I don’t even know the names of my neighbors.
W：OK.Thank you，Nathan，that was great.
第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Every year，Time magazine picks out what it calls “The 25 Best Inventions” of the year.Here，Teens has chosen some of the most interesting ones.
Ember Mug
It’s hard to always keep coffee at the right temperature，especially in winter.It’s too hot to drink at first，but before we know it，it gets too cold and loses all its taste.The perfect level of warmth for a cup of coffee only lasts for 37 seconds，which makes the Ember Mug a great invention.It keeps your coffee or tea at a certain temperature，anywhere between 45℃ and 62℃，once you set it through a smartphone app.
Tasty One Top
TV cooking shows make cooking look so easy，but it’s almost impossible to get the recipes to cook the same as how the professionals cook.However，the Tasty One Top DIY cooking companion is here to help.Developed by BuzzFeed，the cooker can be connected to a smartphone app，which has more than 1,700 recipes and videos.You choose a recipe and the app will let the cooker know what to do.For example，it’ll tell you when to turn your steak or when to add certain ingredients.
Jibo
Smart speakers from companies like Amazon and Xiaomi have added a lot of fun to our lives，but they’re still just faceless speakers.However，Jibo，developed by MIT professor Cynthia Breazeal，has brought smart technology to life.Said to be “the world’s first social robot for the home”，Jibo looks like a cartoon character.Inside its “head”，there are various sensors and cameras，which allow it to recognize faces and speech.It can also set alarms，remind you of important things，tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.
语篇解读 本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了《时代》周刊选出的年度25个最佳发明中的三个，具体介绍这些发明的优点，以及给人们带来的好处。
21．How can Tasty One Top help people?

22．What can Jibo probably be?
A．A cartoon character.
B．A faceless robot.
C．A family assistant.
D．A smart alarm.
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据Jibo介绍中的“the world’s first social robot for the home”“It can also set alarms，remind you of important things，tell you the weather and read news or messages from your friends and family.”可推断，Jibo可以充当家庭助手。故选C项。
23．What is the purpose of the passage?
A．To advertise hightech products.
B．To introduce some new inventions.
C．To encourage subscription to Time.
D．To tell about some “tasty” products.
答案 B
解析 写作目的题。根据本文第一段“Every year, Time magazine picks out ...some of the most interesting ones.”和下文对三个发明的介绍可知，本文旨在介绍一些新发明。
B
It was the men’s figure skating final of the Winter Olympics when I was 16.I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brains：American Brain Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada.Both of them had been world champions.Both of them deserved to win.As a Northern Californian，I was for my fellow countryman.He also grew up in Northern California.We’d skated on the same ice.Brain performed successfully.The champion! I jumped in the air when his score went up.
But what happened next is what I’ll never forget.Brain sat in front of the camera，surrounded by a group of journalists.Brain was talking about his career and his medal，talking to the whole world.A terrible sinking feeling went through me.I could never be in the Olympics，I thought.I loved skating because I could express myself with my jumps and dances better than words.
What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I’d freeze up like the ice beneath my skates! And yet，there was so much I would love to say，about my family and all the support they’d given me and about following my dream of being a skating champion.
I worked very hard the next few years—on the ice and especially off.After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them，I got to know them.And they got to know me.Slowly I learned that the best approach was simply to be myself，to be honest and gracious and do my best, just like on the ice，to answer their questions.
So when my big moment came four years after Brain’s，I was ready.Remember：when you do the thing you fear most，you put an end to fear.
语篇解读 作者是一名滑冰运动员，在观看冬奥会的一场花样滑冰比赛时，最后看到获胜者接受媒体采访，自己突然害怕起来，担心自己以后也会接受这样的采访，但最后终于克服了这种恐惧心理。
24．What information can we get from the first paragraph?
A．The author lives a difficult life.
B．The author comes from Canada.
C．The author preferred Boitano to win.
D．Orser won the gold medal.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句中的“American Brain Boitano”及“As a Northern Californian，I was for my fellow countryman.He also grew up in Northern California.”可知，作者支持同为美国人的Brain Boitano，更希望他赢。故选C。
25．What did Brain’s press conference remind the author of?
A．Her fear of public speaking.
B．Her pride in Brain’s victory.
C．Her dream of becoming a world champion.
D．Her hard training as an Olympic competitor.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“What if journalists asked me questions like they asked Brain? I’d freeze up like the ice beneath my skates！”可知，作者害怕赛后的新闻发布会，害怕接受记者们的提问，害怕在公众场合讲话。故答案为A。
26．What does the underlined word “off” in Paragraph 4 possibly refer to?
A．Challenges in school.
B．Contact with reporters.
C．Achievements in skating.
D．Competitions with others.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据后文的描述“After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them，I got to know them.And they got to know me.”可知，作者除了在运动场上训练以外，还在场下跟记者们打交道，跟他们交流。故off应该指在场下所做的努力，故选B。
27．What was the author ready to do according to the last paragraph?
A．Do her best to win.
B．Enter the Olympic final.
C．Make friends with reporters.
D．Talk to the press afterwards.
答案 D
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“So when my big moment came four years after Brain’s，I was ready.”可知，作者已经准备好在赛后接受记者们的采访。故选D。
C
Should I stay or should I go? An LED device(设备) for driverless cars aims to give pedestrians(行人) at a crossing the power to communicate with cars，signaling for them to stop or drive on.
Blink, created by researchers at the Royal College of Arts and Imperial College London，turns the awkward dance of eye contact and hand gestures that happens when a car slows down while someone is waiting to cross the road into something driverless cars can understand.
Blink combines an organic light display with the windscreen(挡风玻璃) and windows of a car and uses light signals to show pedestrians when the car is aware of their presence.If the car detects a pedestrian，a figure lights up.
If a pedestrian raises a hand as a stop sign, the figure turns green, directing the pedestrian to cross, and the car is prevented from moving forward.If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward, the figure turns red and the car continues.
But George Filip at the University of Nottingham, UK, isn’t certain it is a good idea to give pedestrians control over driverless cars.He says cities could end up crowded because pedestrians keep stopping cars.
“Producers should wait until the novelty of driverless cars has worn off before creating carpedestrian communications systems，” he says.“We need to learn how people actually communicate with autonomous cars.”
The idea is to help people feel more comfortable around driverless cars, says Blink cocreator Raunaq Bose.“It effectively gives pedestrians the carstopping powers of lollipop men and women(帮助学童过马路的交通安全员)．”
The team hasn’t yet tested the device on a driverless car, but Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种新型的可以辅助行人和无人驾驶汽车进行交流的设备。
28．What do we know about Blink?
A．It’s a new car brand.
B．It’s a drivingaid system.
C．It’s a carproducing company.
D．It’s already widely known to the public.
答案 B
解析 细节理解题。由第二、三段的内容可知，Blink可以用来提示汽车该继续通过还是停下来礼让行人，由此可知Blink可以辅助行人和车辆进行交流，是一种辅助驾驶系统。
29．What will a driverless car do when a pedestrian puts a hand to the side?
A．Pick up speed. B．Slow down.
C．Come to a stop. D．Keep moving.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。由第四段最后一句“If they place a hand out to the side to signal for the car to go forward，the figure turns red and the car continues.”可知，行人把手放旁边意味着车辆可以继续前行。
30．What’s George Filip’s attitude towards Blink?
A．Negative. B．Curious.
C．Uninterested. D．Appreciative.
答案 A
解析 观点态度题。由第五段中George Filip提到的这种设备可能会造成交通拥堵可知，他对此持消极态度。
31．What can be inferred from what Bose said?
A．There’s a demand for the device.
B．The device has an uncertain future.
C．The device is perfect for driverless cars.
D．Several companies have begun to use the device.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“Bose says several automotive companies have expressed interest”可推知，这种设备有市场需求。
D
According to a new report，the future may be here sooner than we think.A team of academics and researchers predict(预测) underwater cities, personal drones(无人机) and giant skyscrapers(摩天大楼) by the year 2116.The team even predict that we will be vacationing on the moon or even on Mars just in 100 years.
The team of academics include architects，futurists and speakers from the University of Westminster.A lot of the technology needed to do the things predicted is already here; it just needs to be scaled up(扩大) and become more costeffective(划算的)．Experts say that due to the increase in population, humans will live in large urban centers consisting of super tall skyscrapers, taller than anything we have ever seen.Other than going up, the report suggests that there will be “earthscrapers” going as far as 25 stories underground.Meanwhile, they believe that there will be “bubble cities” that produce oxygen using the surrounding water.What’s more, drone technologies are predicted to grow at a rapid rate enabling the everyday man to travel anywhere he wants to go in his personal drone.
The report also predicts that the food industry will be reshaped by 3D printing technology.Families will be able to download whatever meal they want from databases of popular chefs and restaurants.Then once you’re done with your 4course 3D printed meal, you can have a large drone take your whole house to a vacation spot you like and have your dinner while enjoying the beautiful scenery.This may sound unbelievable, but given advances in modular(模块化) design and largescale affordable drones, these all may be in store.
Keep in mind that all of these things are just predictions about the future from an independently contracted team, but we are facing an age of rapid development never seen before in human history and these predictions may end up being realized.
Technologies like smart homes and 3D printing will all seem commonplace in the future.To our kids, it will be hard to imagine life without the ability to design and print their toys，or vacation on Mars.
All this technological advancement may sound terrifying to some degree, but you’d better get used to it.Given all the recent advances in medicine, there’s a high likelihood that you may live to see 2116.Then why not see what you can do to help make the future come a little faster?
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文，讲述了对未来生活的预测。
32．According to the report，future drones will .
A．get energy from the surrounding water
B．send humans to the moon or even Mars
C．be owned by ordinary people
D．be mainly used for travel
答案 C
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，根据这份报告，未来的无人机将由普通民众拥有。故选C。
33．In the future，the food industry will be affected by .
A．3D printing technology
B．drone technologies

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。
Long ago，there was a big apple tree.A little boy loved to come and play around it every day.He climbed to the top of the tree，ate the apples，and took a nap under the shadow.He loved the tree and the tree also enjoyed playing with him.
As time went by，the little boy grew up and he no longer played around the tree.
One day，the boy came back to the tree，appearing sad.“Come and play with me，” the tree asked the boy gently.
“I am no longer a kid；I won’t play around trees any more，” the boy replied.“I want toys.I need money to buy them.”
“Sorry，but I don’t have money.However, you can pick all my apples and sell them.Then, you will have money.” The boy was so excited that he picked all the apples on the tree and left happily.The boy didn’t come back after that.
The tree was upset.
One day，the boy returned and the tree was so joyful.“Come and play with me，” the tree said.
“I don’t have time to play.I have to work for my family.We need a house for shelter.Can you help me？”“Sorry，I don’t have a house.But you can cut off my branches to build your house.”So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left with delight.
The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy didn’t appear since then.The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day，the boy returned and the tree was delighted.“Come and play with me！” the tree requested.
“I am sad and becoming old.I want to go sailing to relax myself.Can you give me a boat？”“Use my trunk to build the boat.You can sail and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat.He went sailing and did not show up for a long time.
注意：续写词数应为150左右。
Many years later，the boy finally returned.
The apple tree is our mother.
参考范文
Many years later，the boy finally returned.Feeling tired，he went to see the apple tree.At the sight of him，the tree said，“I’m sorry，boy，but now I no longer have anything for you，no apples，no branches，no trunk.”“It doesn’t matter.I have no intention of getting anything from you this time.As you know，I’m getting old and nothing is better than a comfortable place to rest，” said the boy.Hearing this，the tree smiled with relief，adding，“My dying trunk is the right one for you.Please come here and have a seat.” The boy did as was told and the tree smiled again.
The apple tree is our mother.When we are young，she tries her best to take care of us and play with us.When we grow up，we leave her for some reasons and only come back when necessary or in trouble.But she is always there，waiting for us and ready to give what she owns without complaint.Never does she ask for rewards；instead，it is our happiness that she desires for.So，try to put ourselves in her situation and learn to show concern for her.
