【原文】Good evening, everyone. Here’s the latest forecast for the next 48 hours. Today, we have a lot of snow moving in from the northwest to North China. The temperature drops fast along this area. Take Beijing for example, it was 6℃ yesterday, but it falls to -1℃ with about 3 inches of snow. About 48 flights were delayed or cancelled because of that. But it won’t last long. Tomorrow, with the cold air coming in, the snow will stop, and we’ll see the sunshine. In the next 24 hours, the temperature will rise to above zero in this area. In Beijing, it will be 2 degrees, which is a bit higher than today, a nice day for skiing. In Southeast China, however, we’ll not enjoy the sunshine on the weekend. It will gradually become cloudy, and in some cities, there will be freezing rain. So if you plan to travel in this area, remember to take an umbrella and warmer clothes. Generally speaking, it will be dry and sunny in the north and wet and cold in the south. That’s all for the weather. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

三、阅读理解(共两节，40分)
第一节 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。(15小题；每小题2分，共30分)
A
Most heroes are not super. They don't appear in comic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them.
Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. He's a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.
About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when they're taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen on Bike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bike's owner and arranged to meet him-- supposedly to complete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, "You've got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here." You can imagine what the thief did.
After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary.
His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called "Robin Hood". Since he wasn't exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, "Batman" seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattle's reputation as a friendly city.
41. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first ________.
A. contact the owner of the stolen bike B. look up the bike's information
C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief
42. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to ________.
A. become famous B. help poor people
C. punish bike thieves D. build a friendly city
43. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested
B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident
C. the police failed to perform their duties
D. the thieves refused to return the bikes
【答案】41. B 42. D 43. B
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一个帮助寻找丢失自行车的人——Bike Batman。他是一名西雅图市民，一次意外让他开始了他的善行。他希望通过帮助寻找丢失的自行车来保持西雅图作为一个友好城市的声誉。

Ownership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque. If you bought something, you owned it. If it broke, you fixed it. If you no longer wanted it, you sold it or threw it away. In the digital age, however, ownership has become more slippery. Since the coming of smartphones, consumers have been forced to accept that they do not control the software in their devices; they are only licensed to use it. As a digital chain is wrapped ever more tightly around more devices, such as cars and thermostats, who owns and who controls which objects is becoming a problem. Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.
The trend is not always harmful. Manufacturers seeking to restrict what owners do with increasingly complex technology have good reasons to protect their copyright, ensure that their machines do not break down, support environmental standards and prevent hacking. Sometimes companies use their control over a product's software for the owners' benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla remotely updated the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.
But the more digital strings are attached to goods, the more the balance of control leans towards producers and away from owners. That can be inconvenient. Picking a car is hard enough, but harder still if you have to dig up the instructions that tell you how use is limited and what data you must give. If the products are intentionally designed not to last long, it can also be expensive. Already, items from smartphones to washing machines have become extremely hard to fix, meaning that they are thrown away instead of being repaired.
Privacy is also at risk. Users become terrified when iRobot, a robotic vacuum cleaner, not only cleans the floor but also creates a digital map of the inside of a home that can then be sold to advertisers (though the manufacturer says it has no intention of doing so). Cases like this should remind people how jealously they ought to protect their property rights and control who uses the data that is collected.
Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing. This requires careful inspection. Devices, by and large, are sold on the basis that they enable people to do what they want. To the extent they are controlled by somebody else, that freedom is compromised.
48. What benefit does it bring to customers if companies control the ownership of products?
A. It provides them with knowledge to prevent hacking.
B. It gives them the chance to be protected from danger.
C. It enables them to own the copyright of the products.
D. It helps them know more about complex technology.
49. The underlined words "that freedom" in the last paragraph refer to the freedom to ________.
A. control other people B. share the ownership
C. inspect devices at any time D. use devices as one wishes
50. The author may agree ________.
A. customers should buy fewer digital devices
B. producers should control property rights
C. property rights need to be protected
D. better after sales service is required
51. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion
A. B.
C. D.
【答案】48. B 49. D 50. C 51. A
【解析】
本文是一篇议论文。本文就“所有权”进行了论述。“所有权”过去就像写支票一样简单，随着电子时代的到来，它的意义正在改变，但“所有权”不会消失。
【48题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Sometimes companies use their control over a product’s software for the owners’ benefit. When Hurricane Irma hit Florida this month, Tesla remotely updated the software controlling the batteries of some models to give owners more range to escape the storm.和第三段中But the more digital strings are attached to goods, the more the balance of control leans towards producers and away from owners. That can be inconvenient. Picking a car is hard enough, but harder still if you have to dig up the instructions that tell you how use is limited and what data you must give.可知，特斯拉的例子指出如果产品公司控制产品的所有权，该公司可以采取措施避免他们的顾客遭受危险。故选B。
49题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段中的“Devices, by and large, are sold on the basis that they enable people to do what they want.”总的来说，设备的销售是基于它们能让人们做他们想做的事。以及“To the extent they are controlled by somebody else, that freedom is compromised.”在某种程度上，它们是被别人控制的，这种自由是妥协的。由此推知，划线词的意思是“使用设备的自由”。故选D。
【50题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中Cases like this should remind people how jealously they ought to protect their property rights and control who uses the data that is collected.可知，作者可能同意保护产权需要得到保护。故选C。
【51题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中Ownership used to be about as straightforward as writing a cheque.可知，本句是文章的引入；第一段中的In the digital age, however, ownership has become more slippery.和Buyers should be aware that some of their most basic property rights are under threat.这是文章的两个主要观点；第二段第一句The trend is not always harmful.第三段中That can be inconvenient.第四段第一句Privacy is also at risk.这是第2个观点的3个次要点；最后一段第一句Ownership is not about to go away, but its meaning is changing.这是本文得出的最后结论。故选A。

Comedy and Psychology
Earlier this year I did a part-time comedy course. The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian.I had performed a show, which wasn’t originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didn’ t understand why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.
“Turn off your editor that makes you say the right thing and remember how to be a child,” explained Ryan. “Don’t try to be clever. Don’t try too hard to be funny…and knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just behave in a silly way. That’s what people want to see on stage.”Ryan would help us loosen up by saying things like, “Wander around talking to others, but make sure that you’re the lowest status person here.”
I’ d say that understanding the psychology of humor has actually helped. Recently I came across the book Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind. Its main idea is that any self-directed intelligent system will need to correct its own fault. There’s a risk that the occasional error will be made. If this was boring or burdensome, we’d be less willing to do it. However, evolution has made the process fun.
Here’s a joke in the book: Two fish are in a tank. One says to the other, “Do you know how to drive this thing?” It works on the principle that we have started to imagine one thing—that the tank is the typical container people keep fish in—and, just in time, the following words tell us that our first assumption was wrong—it’s a heavy vehicle. For correctly figuring out the error, we are rewarded with a pleasurable feeling. The joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to make us laugh.
Ryan was right when he said that knowing the theory of humor wouldn’t help us that much as a comedy.During one exercise in the course, four of us were told to perform an opera. Susan and Caroline sang earnestly on either side of the stage, and I brought Henry to the floor, where we wrestled (摔跤) each other like out-of-control teenagers. The rest of the group was in uncontrollable fits of laughter. As a performer, I’ ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.
52. Why did the author attend the comedy course?
A. He wanted to see how the theories worked in practice.
B. He discovered he had some natural ability in comedy.
C. He worried about how other performers would find him.
D. He got unpleasant experiences when performing a comedy.
53. Ryan required the people on the comedy course to______.
A. copy their favorite performance
B. imagine other people’ s reactions
C. help themselves feel comfortable
D. behave in a more playful manner
54. What is the purpose of the joke mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To discuss what humor brings about exactly.
B To give an example of another kind of humor.
C. To prove the point about psychology of humor.
D. To show why some people are funnier than others.
55. What view does the author put forward in the end?
A. Visual humor is what appeals to people most.
B. What people find funny is often unpredictable.
C. Theories explaining humor tend to be mistaken.
D. Learning comic skills proves to be a difficult task.
【答案】52. B 53. D 54. C 55. B

【53题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中and knowing all about the theory of humor is unlikely to help you much. Just behave in a silly way. That’s what people want to see on stage.”可知，Ryan要求喜剧课上的人们以一种更有趣的方式表现。由此可知答案为D。
【54题详解】
目的意图题。根据第四段最后一句The joke is an efficient way of encouraging this natural reaction, and comedians have become experts in slightly touching this mental funny-bone in order to make us laugh.可知，第四段提到笑话的目的是为了证明幽默心理学的观点。可知答案为C。
【55题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后两句As a performer, I’ ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.可知，作者认为人们觉得有趣的东西往往是不可预测的。故答案为B。
【名师点睛】推理判断题要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基础上，做出一定的推理判断，从而得到文章的隐含意义和深层意义。推理判断题所涉及的内容可能是文中的某一句话，也可能是某几句话，所以，推理题的答案只能是根据原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即对原文某一句话或某几句话所作的同义改写或综合。本题第4小题，根据最后一段最后两句As a performer, I’ ll never appreciate just why it seemed so funny. But the point is that I would never have written this on the paper. It was a joyous, found moment.可知，作者认为人们觉得有趣的东西往往是不可预测的。故答案为B。

The volunteers come from all over the world, and they will share the passion for giving back and the desire to broaden horizons. Some students also see it as a gap year after school, while others simply want to take time out from a job and do something else. ___58___ However, many voluntourists do not see volunteering as what it is. They think it is a cheap way of travelling and don't really want to get involved in hard work.
While voluntourism has been around for over a century, modern volunteering started with the Peace Corps, a program that the US government started in the 1960s. From then on, voluntourism has become more and more popular.

试题分析：这是一篇看图写作，一共四幅图。做题时：1. 认真读图，可知四幅图记述你和父母一起为爷爷过生日的过程。2. 初步构思，考虑用词、短语、句型和时态。3. 连词成句，然后再连句成文。尽可能地充分利用所学的短语或句型来表述具体的内容。4. 反复审核，修改错误。5. 注意所给的汉语提示。一般说来，看图写话中的汉语提示往往给定了有关的时间、地点、人物等相关的信息，还有参考词汇都是有用信息。在把握了文章的中心后，应在内心构思一个基本的框架，并考虑使用恰当的词语、短语和句型，以充分地表达文章的内容。这是体现自身能力的重要一环。然后再将各图的单个句子串连起来。串连时，要注意使用适当的连接词语或过渡性语句，不至于让读者觉得文章中出现跳跃现象，更使上下文更为紧凑、自然。
