One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.
Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted he would purchase two school T-shirts from Morehouse’s online store.
On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.[来源:zzs%te^p.~co#&m]
In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”[来源:zz%ste*p&.co#m~]
“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.
McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to work an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.
“All kids need to have quality education,” the mother added. “I am putting an investment (投资) in his future.”
4. What did Lincoln choose two T-shirts for his mother and aunt mainly for?
A. To show he loves them forever.
B. To give them a Christmas gift.
C. To tell them his academic success.
D. To show he had grown up already.[中国^&教育*%~出版网]

B. Satisfied.
C. Disappointed.

6. Which of the following can replace the underlined sentence “You’ve been holding out on us”？

B. You’ve been longing to tell us the truth.
C. You’ve been playing a joke with two of us.[中#@%国教~育出版&网]
D. You’ve been keeping it a secret from us.
7. What can we infer from the text?
A. Lincoln’s parents could hardly afford his education.
B. Lincoln’s mother felt her efforts paid off at last.
C. Lincoln bought the T-shirts in the local supermarket.[来#%源:中国教育&出版网^@]
D. The video had been popular before December 15.

【解析】Barrington Lincoln被梦想的大学录取。但是他保守这个秘密几个月，直到圣诞节他才以令人惊讶的方式将各个消息告诉了家人。[来#~@源&:zzste*p.com]
4. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Barrington Lincoln…got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt… “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted he would purchase two school T-shirts from Morehouse’s online store.”和第三段中的“gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it”可知，当Barrington Lincoln被Morehouse College录取之后，他就从Morehouse的网店里购买了两件上面有这所大学名字的T恤，想以这种方式告诉家人这个消息。故C选项正确。
5. 推理判断题。由第三段中的“When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant”可知，当Barrington Lincoln的妈妈和阿姨打开Barrington Lincoln送她们的礼物时，她们不知道这件礼物是什么意思。由此可以推知，她们非常困惑。A选项正确。[www@#.zzst%e~*p.com]
6. 句意理解题。由第四段可知，当Lincoln告诉他的家人他被录取的消息之前，他的家人一直被蒙在鼓里，不知道这个消息。所以Lincoln以令人惊讶的方式告诉她们这个消息后，她们的想法应该是：你一直瞒着我们这个消息？故D选项正确。
7. 推理判断题。由倒数第二段“McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to work an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.”可知，Barrington Lincoln15岁的时候，他的父亲去世。他的母亲不得不多做一份工作来支付Barrington Lincoln的教育费用。所以她对于Barrington Lincoln被大学录取感到非常高兴。由此可以推知，她感觉自己的努力没有白费。B选项正确。
C
What do you usually do when you have some free time? Do you take part in any form of hobby? If your answer is no, then you should think twice. Experiencing some type of interest or hobby might be the ideal way to develop your brain and improve your creative thinking.
Here is a common problem that many older people have. They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family that once their children are grown and left home, they all of a sudden start to experience their age. Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. It is the fact that they are unexpectedly offered more time on their hands.
When you put in too much time not doing anything, this can affect your brain. This is just where the expression “If you don’t use it, you lose it” definitely is the truth. Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters. It offers you something to do and is a perfect way to meet new people.
Enjoying a hobby is also a perfect way to improve creative thinking at any age. Even young children can profit from taking a new hobby. For retired people, enjoying a hobby which they can find entertainment in with their grandchildren will help keep them active and feeling young at heart.
Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and you body include yoga, biking, swimming and golf. If you aren’t fond of sports, even taking a walk regularly is a wonderful way to keep active. It helps you to appreciate fresh scenery and it has been suggested that the colors green and blue help make you more creative.[来源%&^@:中#教网]
As you can see above, you can get pretty much from taking a hobby. With so many choices waiting for you, begin your journey right away!
8. What can be implied about many older people from Paragraph 2?
A. They lock creative thinking.
B. They should develop their brain.
C. They concern about their age.
D. They used to have little free time.
9. Why does getting a hobby matter according to the text?
A. It strengthens one’s brain.
B. It helps build up one’s muscle.
C. It enables one to make friends.
D. It improves one’s living conditions.
10. What does the underlined word “terrific” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Specific. B. Disgusting.
C. Wonderful. D. Fundamental.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Trying different hobbies B. Spending your free time
C. Experiencing your hobby now D. Feeling young at heart
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】文章介绍了业余爱好对老年人的好处：锻炼脑力，强健身体。作者呼吁人们马上行动起来。
8. 推理判断题。由第二段中的“They have spent such a great deal of time raising their family … Quite often, it is not their age that is the concern. It is the fact that they are unexpectedly offered more time on their hands”可知，很多老年人年轻时把时间主要用来养活家庭，年老之后，他们担心的不是变老，而是他们有了过多的自己可以支配的时间。由此可以推知，他们原来没有什么自由时间。故D选项正确。
9. 细节理解题。由第三段中的“Your mind needs working out much like any other muscle in your body. This is why getting a hobby matters”可知，就像你身体的其他部位一样，你的大脑需要锻炼。这就是业余爱好重要的原因。由此可知，业余爱好可以锻炼大脑，增强脑力。A选项正确。
10. 词义猜测题。第三和第四段中主要介绍了业余爱好可以锻炼脑力，同时对身体有好处。该句“Several hobbies that are terrific for both your mind and you body include yoga, biking, swimming and golf”则介绍了几个对脑力和身体有好处的活动：瑜伽，骑自行车，游泳，高尔夫等等。结合选项，该划线单词意思应为C选项：极好的。
11. 标题归纳题。文章主要介绍了业余爱好对于老年人的好处。最后一段是总结段。最后一段提到：我们可以从业余爱好中受益。你可以有很多选择，马上开始吧。故结合选项，C选项适合做该文标题。
D
2017 was an influential year for artificial intelligence, not just in terms of the advancement of the technology itself, but also for the development of our understanding of AI’s influence on our society.
When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs. However, we often ignore the fact that this technology will also slowly spread into most of our lives during work.[www%.zzs*te#p.c@om~]
I refer to this as the difference between AI and IA: artificial intelligence vs. intelligence augmentation (智能增强). Despite the great steps we’ve made in AI development and will continue to make in 2018, we are still years away from AI fully replacing human jobs. However, we are much closer to seeing the influence of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence.
Take a doctor for example: AI will soon be able to test and diagnose (诊断) common diseases more quickly and accurately than humans. Now, doctors can spend more of their time explaining the possible diagnoses, communicating with patients and developing unique, reliable treatment plans that are most effective for each specific patient.
Algorithms (算法) are desirable for their ability-to make well-informed decisions quickly and accurately, allowing us to focus on the parts of our job that are most important. But that same power allows algorithms that are making incorrect decisions to do so with greater speed and widespread influence than humans have ever had.
2018 will be the year that companies purchasing AI products don’t just ask about the predictive power of an algorithm-they will make sure that algorithms are tested in advance, greatly reducing their potential unexpected influence.
12. What do most people mainly focus on AI?
A. AI can be completely controlled.
B. AI will replace certain human jobs.
C. AI is advanced technology.
D. AI will gradually spread into our lives.
13. Why does the author mention the doctor?
A. To prove AI will make more doctors unemployed.
B. To prove AI always makes right decisions.
C. To prove AI will change the way we work.
D. To prove AI can make treatment plans.
14. What is the author’s attitude towards AI and IA?
A. Objective. B. Negative.
C. Optimistic. D. Uninterested.
15. What will probably the following paragraph refer to?
A. To tell the readers how AI can be closely controlled.[www&.z~z*s#tep.co@m]
B. To compare the very difference between AI and I A.[来源#:&zzstep~%@.com]
C. To explain to us why an Algorithm is so important.
D. To predict the development of AI in the year of 2018.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】2017年AI技术得到极大发现，它们在取代人类的一些工作的同时也使得人类的智能增强。2018年，人类会尽量避免AI的某些缺点，继续发展AI。[来源:中@国教育出&*#版网~]
12. 细节理解题。由第二段中的“When we talk about AI, often we focus on the belief that it is going to take away certain types of jobs”可知，当我们谈论AI的时候，我们普遍认为：AI将取代某些工作。故B选项切题。
13. 推理判断题。由第三段中的“we are much closer to seeing the influence of AI spread into almost every job and the growth in human intelligence.”可知，AI的影响正在遍及几乎每一个工作中，人类的智商也因此得到发展。第四段以AI为例，AI可以快速的检测和诊断常见病，医生们可以把重点放在其他方面。由此可以推知，文章以医生为例，是为了证明AI对我们工作方式的影响。故C选项正确。[中国教@~育*出版网#^]
14. 观点态度题。第二段提到：AI在剥夺人类一些工作的同时，也提到了人类的智商。倒数第二段提到了AI的缺点。最后一段提到IA(智能增强)使得人类在2018年会尽量避免AI的缺点。很明显，作者对这一切进行了客观介绍，没有夹杂个人观点在内。故A选项正确。
15. 推理判断题。由最后一段中的“2018 will be the year that companies purchasing AI products don’t just ask about the predictive power of an algorithm-they will make sure that algorithms are tested in advance, greatly reducing their potential unexpected influence.”可知，2018年将会成为这样的一年，购买AI产品的公司不止询问关于算法的预测力，他们还会确保算法提前被检测，尽可能减少算法出乎预料的影响。由此可以推知，下一段会预测AI在2018年的发展。故D选项正确。[来源#*:中国%教育出~&版网]

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
At Christmas, our family had one constant tradition: our dog Pepper opened our presents for us.
One year, everyone made it home for a Christmas together. ___16___ It couldn’t feel perfect, though, because Pepper’s health was becoming worse. Her life had already been longer than we expected—she was fourteen—and yet her mind was still sharp. Her enthusiasm for life made us feel better.___17___[w#ww.zzs%te*p^.com@]
It was likely Pepper’s last Christmas, so we decided to make sure she enjoyed it. On Christmas Eve, we each prepared a present for her. Soon, Pepper selected her first Christmas gift.___18___ She pulled every last scrap (碎片) of paper off the dog treat before she chewed it slowly. Our family were so happy.
Pepper eyed the remaining three presents, then turned to Mom as if asking, May I please open another?” “Go ahead, girl!” Mom encouraged. For the next few minutes, Pepper opened each of her Christmas presents.[来源:^*中&%教网@]
___19___ our family felt whole—not because we were in the same room, city, or country, but because our love bonded us together.
In the new year, Pepper let us know it was time to call the vet (兽医). Her passing, while tearful, was peaceful, which was also a celebration of life.___20___
Long after 1 forgot each of my presents, I still cherish Pepper’s final Christmas gift.

【答案】16. C 17. B
18. A 19. F
20. E

16. 考查上下文理解和推理判断能力。上一句提到：有一年，全家人都在圣诞节聚到了一起。由下一句中的“though（但是）”可知，该空和下一句是转折关系，故C选项正确：我们的圣诞节本来应该很完美。[来~源#:中国教育&出^版网@]
17. 考查上下文理解和推理判断能力。上一句提到，她对生活的热情使我们感觉好点了。下一段第一句提到，这可能是她的最后一个圣诞节。该空承上启下，B选项正确：但是她的身体状况跟不上她的精神。
18. 考查上下文理解和推理判断能力。上一句提到：她挑选了她的第一份礼物。承接该句，该空应提到她如何对待自己的礼物，故A选项正确：她用爪子把礼物翻过来。

20. 考查上下文理解和推理判断能力。上一句提到，她的去世虽然令人难过，但是确实平和的。这也是对生活的一种庆祝。该空承接上文，应解释为什么她的去世是对生活的一种庆祝。故E选项正确：因为她给了我的家人如此多的爱和笑声。

41. 考查介词。fix one’s attention on sth.意为“将注意力集中在……”，是固定搭配，故该空填on。
42. 考查副词。句意：挫折感实际上可以帮助你产生影响。该空修饰整个句子，要用副词，故该句应填副词actually。
43. 考查名词性从句。句意：沮丧感是你产生改变所需要的。“____ you need to make a change in the world”是表语从句，该从句中缺少宾语，且表示名词意思，故该空应填what。
44. 考查非谓语动词。句意：这意味着你更有可能有动力去做一些事情来改变那种状态。结合句意，该处表示目的，故应填to change。
45. 考查副词比较级。句意：当你感觉一切都很好的时候，你就没有那么大的动力来行动了。该空和上一句中的more likely正好相反，故应填more的反义词less。

48. 考查反身代词。句意：我们将自己置身于一种危险的境地。该空做put的宾语，且主语为we，故该空填反身代词ourselves。
49. 考查句意理解。句意：如果我们让我们的大脑说一切都将很好并且回归一种放松的思想状态，那么在这个世界上，任何变化都不会发生。该空应引导条件状语从句，故填If或Once。

Lending a hand to people make me happy. One day, I saw Sally, my assistant, cried. I asked her about my problem and she said that her mom was sick. She didn’t have enough money to have her mother fully examining, so I decided to give her one of my diamond ring. It didn’t cost as many as the others, but I knew that it would be in great help if she sold it. I recommended an online shop that I often bought jewelry. Sally sold it and used the money to let her mother to be hospitalized. It is great feeling that you can help other people.
【答案】
【解析】第一处：考查主谓一致。主语为动名词lending a hand to people，根据主谓一致原则，动名词作主语，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故应将make改为makes。
第二处：考查固定句式。句意：一天，我看见我的助手Sally正在哭泣。see sb. doing意为“看到某人在做某事”，是固定句式，故应将cried改为crying。
第三处：考查代词。我的助手Sally正在哭泣，那么，我应该询问的是关于Sally的问题。故应将my改为her。
第四处：考查固定句式。句意：她说她没有足够的钱给她母亲做检查。have sth. done意为“使某事被做”。her mother和examine之间是被动关系，故应将examining改为examined。
第五处：考查名词。one of+n.意为“……之一”，n.要用复数形式，故应将ring改为rings。
第六处：考查代词。句意：这枚戒指花的钱不像别的戒指那么多。many代指可数名词复数；much代指不可数名词。该处代指不可数名词money，故应将many改为much。
第七处：考查介词。句意：我认为如果她将戒指卖掉的话，那将非常有帮助。be of help相当于be helpful，是固定表达，故应将in改为of。[来源~:zzs*^te@%p.com]
第八处：考查定语从句。句意：我给她推荐了一个我经常买珠宝的网店。“that I often bought jewelry”是定语从句，修饰an online shop，引导词在从句中做地点状语，该从句应用关系副词where引导。故应将that改为where。
第九处：考查固定句式。let sb. do sth.意为“让某人做某事”，是固定句式。故to多余，应去掉。
第十处：考查冠词。句意：你能帮助别人，这是一种很棒的感觉。feeling是可数名词，该处指“一种感觉”，故应在is和great之间加a。
