A
Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers - led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.
3. What do the inventions have in common?
A. They are AI-driven technology tools.
B. They are developed by Facebook.
C. They aim to promote productivity.
D. They focus on health issues.

Students at Summit Elementary School in Butler, Pennsylvania are growing more than their minds. Under the guidance of teacher Angela Eyth, they’ve created a productive garden. “The kids are in charge of everything,” Eyth says.
Eyth and her students launched the gardening project in 2020 after the teacher attended a conference on how to include lessons about farming in the classroom. Then came the garden. With 16 acres of school district-owned land. around their building, there was plenty of room.
The project is now two years old, and goes beyond planting and growing: Eyth and her fellow educators structure lessons in science, math and more around their garden.
“When we grew cabbages my students noticed something was eating the leaves,” Eyth recall. “This led to an investigation on figuring out what was eating it and how to stop it: the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating ways to keep insects out of the cabbage beds. In 4th grade, we lake the students outside to estimate the number of bean pods (豆荚) they find.” Eyth continues, “People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it’s far from the truth. The kids’ curiosity keeps it rolling.
The kids also keep the produce rolling - SO much so that with a $70,000 donation from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation, they’re using that money to build a greenhouse at their school. The funds help them launch an outdoor classroom and open a farm stand at Broad Street that brings fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and more to an area of their community where affordable fresh produce is hard to find there. Such areas are often called “food deserts.”
“Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the community surrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School.” says Eyth. “They’re so proud of what we’re doing here.”
4. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To prepare students for career planning.
B. To seek new ways of vegetable growing.
C. To allow students to learn by gardening.
D. To encourage students to get close to nature.
5. What do the teachers do with the project at present?
A. Expand the farming land. B. Integrate relevant subjects.
C. Investigate insects’ activities. D. Estimate the number of vegetables.
6. What can we know about the project?
A. It was launched by the school board.
B. Its experience was introduced at a conference.
C. It built a greenhouse in the “food desert” areas.
D. Its produce benefits the community around.
7. What do the students think of the project?
A. It is tiresome. B. It requires creativity.
C. It is rewarding. D. It needs more donations.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

For Australian cattle farmer Jody Brown, the most frightening evidence of drought is the silence. Trees stand still, the singing of birds gone.
The constant dryness means her cattle have decreased to around 400, down from 1,100 in 2002, and at limes there have been no animals on the land at all. The native grasses, once green, have disintegrated into grey ash. According to United Nations’ estimates, global crop production could fall about 30% because of climate change, while food is sharply demanded in the coming decades. The world is facing a new age of rapidly increasing food prices that could push almost 2 billion more people into hunger in a worst-case climate crisis.
Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown’s farm, she’s experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought. She’s exploring alternatives to traditional methods that don’t push the land as hard. Meanwhile many agrichemical companies are developing new varieties for vegetables, like cabbages that are more resistant to extreme weather.
Across the globe, farmers are switching seeds and improving irrigation (灌溉). Lucas Oliveira in Brazil is pulling out half his coffee trees to plant corn and soybeans instead. He is being forced to change course after coffee crops suffered from drought and then an extreme frost. With drought hitting California, Fritz Durst is working to trap water. He’s boarded up pipes to hold the rain that does fall. Durst will also plant cover crops, which can help enrich soils and prevent erosion (水土流失).
One of the biggest challenges for farmers is that there is currently no access to funds that would be critical to undertake the kind of massive transformation.
“If you have to deal with millions of farmers around the world, you have to coordinate (协调). That’s a huge task,” said Monika Zurek, senior researcher at University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute.
8. Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the frequent drought.
B. To evidence the increasing food demand.
C. To present the severe results of climate crisis.
D. To describe the situation of crop production.
9. What is farmers’ reaction towards the predictions?
A. Exploring alternative farming practices.
B. Sticking to traditional methods.
C. Developing new varieties for vegetables.
D. Experimenting with ngrichemicals.
10. How does Fritz Durst in California deal with the drought?
A. He switches to planting coffee trees.
B. He employs ways to trap water.
C. He covers his crops to resist drought.
D. He conducts researches on the soil.
11. What is crucial to the transformation?
A. Improving irrigation facility.
B. Tackling environment change.
C. Offering farmers access to funds.
D. Introducing ways to prevent erosion.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown’s farm, she’s experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought.(面对吓人的预言，农民们开始应对。在布朗的农场上，她正在尝试使用更好地适应干旱的再生农业方法)”可知，农民对预言的反应是探索替代性的农业方法，故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“With drought hitting California, Fritz Durst is working to trap water.(随着干旱袭击加利福尼亚，Fritz Durst正在努力蓄水)”可知，加利福尼亚的Fritz Durst对付干旱的办法是蓄水，故选B项。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“One of the biggest challenges for farmers is that there is currently no access to funds that would be critical to undertake the kind of massive transformation(对农民来说，最大的挑战的是目前得不到资金用于紧急进行这种大面积的转型)”可知，转型的关键因素是给农民提供资金，故选C项。
D
Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its work spaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.
This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design-an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment - sounds pretty and good for the planet. But that hardly seems like enough of a reason for big companies to pay billions for biophilic designs. In fact, they are motivated by economics.
A study with employees of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Call Center revealed that workers who had a view of the natural environment handled about 7% more calls than those who did not. The cost of reforming offices to give each employee an outdoor view was about $1, 000 per employee, while their increased productivity added up to $2,900 in increased income per employee per year.
Another study by the Think Wood campaign concludes that nature can have a beneficial effect on creativity, concentration and well-being. Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.
“Being more creative and flexible with our workspace allows us to be more creative and productive in our work and the products we create. It’s like a little getaway,” said Bret Boulder, Head of Capital Assets.
Of course, small companies don’t have a spare couple of billion to spend on “park-like” outdoor offices. But the good news is that biophilic design is not necessarily expensive. Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.
12. Where can you find the definition of biophilic design?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2. C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
13. What does the underlined word “nudge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Encourage. B. Anticipate. C. Remind. D. Promise.
14. What effect can biophilic designs bring to offices?
A. Reduced building cost. B. Competitive atmosphere.
C. Limited workplace flexibility. D. Increased productivity.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Putting Nature to Work B. A Trend to Open New Offices
C. Living Naturally and Simply D. A Natural Building Designer
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一些大公司对其办公室进行亲自然设计，以此提高员工的生产效率。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design-an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment-sounds pretty and good for the planet.(这种亲自然的设计风格——将自然材料、自然光、自然观和其他自然世界的体验整合到建筑环境中——听起来很漂亮，对地球也有好处)”可知，亲自然的设计是指将自然材料、自然光、自然观和其他自然世界的体验整合到建筑环境中。因此能在第二段找到对亲自然设计的定义。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.(看起来很酷的亲自然办公室不仅能帮助公司在极其紧张的劳动力市场上招募人才，还能nudge新人才在工作中表现得更好)”中的not only...but also，help和perform better at work推测划线词意为“鼓励，促进”，即亲自然的办公室还能鼓励/促进新人在工作表现得更好。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.(即使只是盯着邻近的绿色屋顶不到一分钟，也能提高生产率)”可知，亲自然设计能提高生产效率。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its work spaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.(一些最大、最成功的公司正在开设新的办公室，他们最流行的特色是专注于植物和昆虫。搬到西雅图后，微软开始在户外建造办公空间，更确切地说，是在树上，现在有125栋建筑)”可知，文章主要介绍了一些大公司对其办公室进行亲自然设计，以此提高员工的生产效率。故A项“把自然放到工作中”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

47. 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。
A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
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。
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.

At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】作答示例
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called. “Are you okay?” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back. “I’ve been dreaming about this day for two years and I shall not be denied”. Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently. It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I.

Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022.
Meta’s speech-to-speech translation
Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form.
Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien lo similar English text.
Method to identify Parkinson’s disease
Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent.
Tool to interpret pig emotions
Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions.
The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings
Researchers - led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind - said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written.
The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rat: for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent.
1. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication?
A. Tool to interpret pig emotions.
B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation.
C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease.
D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings.
2. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca?
A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian.

Students at Summit Elementary School in Butler, Pennsylvania are growing more than their minds. Under the guidance of teacher Angela Eyth, they’ve created a productive garden. “The kids are in charge of everything,” Eyth says.
Eyth and her students launched the gardening project in 2020 after the teacher attended a conference on how to include lessons about farming in the classroom. Then came the garden. With 16 acres of school district-owned land. around their building, there was plenty of room.
The project is now two years old, and goes beyond planting and growing: Eyth and her fellow educators structure lessons in science, math and more around their garden.
“When we grew cabbages my students noticed something was eating the leaves,” Eyth recall. “This led to an investigation on figuring out what was eating it and how to stop it: the kids analyzed the evidence they found and acted as engineers in creating ways to keep insects out of the cabbage beds. In 4th grade, we lake the students outside to estimate the number of bean pods (豆荚) they find.” Eyth continues, “People think gardening should be separate from core subjects but it’s far from the truth. The kids’ curiosity keeps it rolling.
The kids also keep the produce rolling - SO much so that with a $70,000 donation from Remake Learning/Grable Foundation, they’re using that money to build a greenhouse at their school. The funds help them launch an outdoor classroom and open a farm stand at Broad Street that brings fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and more to an area of their community where affordable fresh produce is hard to find there. Such areas are often called “food deserts.”
“Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the community surrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School.” says Eyth. “They’re so proud of what we’re doing here.”
4. What is the purpose of the project?
A. To prepare students for career planning.
B. To seek new ways of vegetable growing.
C. To allow students to learn by gardening.
D. To encourage students to get close to nature.
5. What do the teachers do with the project at present?
A. Expand the farming land. B. Integrate relevant subjects.
C. Investigate insects’ activities. D. Estimate the number of vegetables.
6. What can we know about the project?
A. It was launched by the school board.
B. Its experience was introduced at a conference.
C. It built a greenhouse in the “food desert” areas.
D. Its produce benefits the community around.
7. What do the students think of the project?
A. It is tiresome. B. It requires creativity.
C. It is rewarding. D. It needs more donations.
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. C

【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Our students discover the value of sharing their harvest with the community surrounding nearby Broad Street Elementary School.” says Eyth. “They’re so proud of what we’re doing here.”(Eyth说：“我们的学生发现了与附近布罗德街小学社区分享收获的价值。他们为我们在这里所做的一切感到骄傲。”)”可知，让他们发现了收获的价值，并为自己在那里所做的一些感到骄傲。由此推知，学生们认为这个项目是值得的。故选C。

For Australian cattle farmer Jody Brown, the most frightening evidence of drought is the silence. Trees stand still, the singing of birds gone.
The constant dryness means her cattle have decreased to around 400, down from 1,100 in 2002, and at limes there have been no animals on the land at all. The native grasses, once green, have disintegrated into grey ash. According to United Nations’ estimates, global crop production could fall about 30% because of climate change, while food is sharply demanded in the coming decades. The world is facing a new age of rapidly increasing food prices that could push almost 2 billion more people into hunger in a worst-case climate crisis.
Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown’s farm, she’s experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought. She’s exploring alternatives to traditional methods that don’t push the land as hard. Meanwhile many agrichemical companies are developing new varieties for vegetables, like cabbages that are more resistant to extreme weather.
Across the globe, farmers are switching seeds and improving irrigation (灌溉). Lucas Oliveira in Brazil is pulling out half his coffee trees to plant corn and soybeans instead. He is being forced to change course after coffee crops suffered from drought and then an extreme frost. With drought hitting California, Fritz Durst is working to trap water. He’s boarded up pipes to hold the rain that does fall. Durst will also plant cover crops, which can help enrich soils and prevent erosion (水土流失).
One of the biggest challenges for farmers is that there is currently no access to funds that would be critical to undertake the kind of massive transformation.
“If you have to deal with millions of farmers around the world, you have to coordinate (协调). That’s a huge task,” said Monika Zurek, senior researcher at University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute.
8. Why are the data mentioned in paragraph 2?
A. To illustrate the frequent drought.
B. To evidence the increasing food demand.
C. To present the severe results of climate crisis.
D. To describe the situation of crop production.
9. What is farmers’ reaction towards the predictions?

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Facing the scary predictions, farmers have begun to adapt. On Brown’s farm, she’s experimenting with regenerative-farming practices better suited to drought.(面对吓人的预言，农民们开始应对。在布朗的农场上，她正在尝试使用更好地适应干旱的再生农业方法)”可知，农民对预言的反应是探索替代性的农业方法，故选A项。
【10题详解】

Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its work spaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.
This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design-an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment - sounds pretty and good for the planet. But that hardly seems like enough of a reason for big companies to pay billions for biophilic designs. In fact, they are motivated by economics.
A study with employees of the Sacramento Municipal Utility District Call Center revealed that workers who had a view of the natural environment handled about 7% more calls than those who did not. The cost of reforming offices to give each employee an outdoor view was about $1, 000 per employee, while their increased productivity added up to $2,900 in increased income per employee per year.
Another study by the Think Wood campaign concludes that nature can have a beneficial effect on creativity, concentration and well-being. Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.
“Being more creative and flexible with our workspace allows us to be more creative and productive in our work and the products we create. It’s like a little getaway,” said Bret Boulder, Head of Capital Assets.
Of course, small companies don’t have a spare couple of billion to spend on “park-like” outdoor offices. But the good news is that biophilic design is not necessarily expensive. Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.
12. Where can you find the definition of biophilic design?
A. In paragraph 1. B. In paragraph 2. C. In paragraph 3. D. In paragraph 4.
13. What does the underlined word “nudge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Encourage. B. Anticipate. C. Remind. D. Promise.
14. What effect can biophilic designs bring to offices?
A. Reduced building cost. B. Competitive atmosphere.
C. Limited workplace flexibility. D. Increased productivity.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Putting Nature to Work B. A Trend to Open New Offices
C. Living Naturally and Simply D. A Natural Building Designer
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了一些大公司对其办公室进行亲自然设计，以此提高员工的生产效率。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“This style of biophilic (亲自然的) design-an integration of natural materials, natural light, views of nature and other experiences of the natural world into the built environment-sounds pretty and good for the planet.(这种亲自然的设计风格——将自然材料、自然光、自然观和其他自然世界的体验整合到建筑环境中——听起来很漂亮，对地球也有好处)”可知，亲自然的设计是指将自然材料、自然光、自然观和其他自然世界的体验整合到建筑环境中。因此能在第二段找到对亲自然设计的定义。故选B。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“Not only do cool-looking biophilic offices help companies recruit (招聘) talent in an incredibly tight labor market, but they also nudge the new talent to perform better at work.(看起来很酷的亲自然办公室不仅能帮助公司在极其紧张的劳动力市场上招募人才，还能nudge新人才在工作中表现得更好)”中的not only...but also，help和perform better at work推测划线词意为“鼓励，促进”，即亲自然的办公室还能鼓励/促进新人在工作表现得更好。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Even just staring at a neighboring green roof for less than a minute has been shown to boost productivity.(即使只是盯着邻近的绿色屋顶不到一分钟，也能提高生产率)”可知，亲自然设计能提高生产效率。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“Some of the biggest and most successful companies are opening new offices, and their trendiest feature is focused on plants and insects. After moving to Seattle, Microsoft began to build its work spaces outdoors - and more specifically, in the trees, which are now comprised of 125 buildings.(一些最大、最成功的公司正在开设新的办公室，他们最流行的特色是专注于植物和昆虫。搬到西雅图后，微软开始在户外建造办公空间，更确切地说，是在树上，现在有125栋建筑)”可知，文章主要介绍了一些大公司对其办公室进行亲自然设计，以此提高员工的生产效率。故A项“把自然放到工作中”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选A。

After my family got comfortably settled in Hotel Ramada in Bangkok, we started exploring the city. After endless hours of shopping, it was finally time to go back.
This was when the trouble started. We forgot there are two Ramada hotels in the opposite directions. Absolutely unaware of this, we started searching for the way back. Google maps suggested us the shortest route which was just 20 minutes away by walk____16____
Bangkok felt different after sunset. Walking along the heavily-crowded roads with the dark-red sky felt beautiful. Lost in our talk, we didn’t realize that we passed onto the quieter part of the town.
____17____ It was closed for redecoration. To our luck, nobody around us then spoke English. Worse still, we stepped in a local tuk-tuk(三轮车), which took us to an unknown area for an enormous pay. We had no idea where we were, our mobile phones nearly out of charge.
____18____ He was a taxi driver. Recounting the day’s events proved to be a great conversation starter. We ended up talking through the way. He was so kind as to offer to drive us around for the rest of our stay. ____19____ For the next four days, from floating markets to the temples of Wat Pho, our trip wouldn’t have been so trouble free without him.
Sometimes when things don’t go according to plan, I think about the stranger we met on the streets and how a tiny mistake on our part led to unexpected results. ____20____

47. 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。
A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
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。
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.

At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.”
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】作答示例
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called. “Are you okay?” “Oh, yes!” Sue said, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back. “I’ve been dreaming about this day for two years and I shall not be denied”. Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently. It was not as if she had become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her newly discovered self. So did I.
