Nicole Ihus’s son John Henry was born last month with a life-threatening disease. Nicole and her husband, who live in Kansas City, contacted doctors from Minnesota and Missouri in hopes of finding a doctor who could treat John Henry for the condition, but to no avail. Luckily, Nicole managed to get in contact with the “best doctor in the world for this condition” at Johns Hopkins All Children’s in St. Petersburg, Florida, so she traveled all the way to the Sunshine State to give her newborn son a fighting chance.
After John Henry was into the ICU, Nicole felt alone in the new state, although she knew that she had to leave her son’s side in order to buy him some new clothes. Upon ordering an Uber ride to the nearby Rhea Lana children’s clothing store, she was picked up by a woman named Belinda.
Shortly after Nicole got into Belinda’s car, the new mother couldn’t help talking about her heartbreaking circumstances.
“She told me her story,” Belinda said. “She was in tears a couple of times and I really felt for her.” Rather than simply dropping Nicole off at the store, however, Belinda parked the car and insisted on accompanying her passenger into the store so she could treat John Henry to new clothes. Needless to say, Nicole was filled with gratitude.
Nicole said, “For this stranger to go completely out of her way - stop what she was doing and stop making money- to come be with me for a couple of hours while we shopped together, that was just incredible.” As Nicole cares for her newborn son and raises money for his medical conditions, she hopes to introduce the Uber driver to her son as a thank you for her compassionate gesture.
24. Why did the new mother have to travel to Florida?
A. Her husband worked there.
B. She wanted to have a baby there.
C. Her sick son might get cured there.
D. She wanted to find a cheap hospital there.
25. What did Belinda do to comfort Nicole?

A. Grateful and astonished.
B. Shocked and disappointed.
C. Worried and embarrassed.
D. Puzzled and regretful.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?

B. A heroic helper around you
C. A special shopping experience
D. An unexpected kindness
【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. D

【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Nicole said, “For this stranger to go completely out of her way- stop what she was doing and stop making money- to come be with me for a couple of hours while we shopped together, that was just incredible.” As Nicole cares for her newborn son and raises money for his medical conditions, she hopes to introduce the Uber driver to her son as a thank you for her compassionate gesture.可知Nicole说:“这个陌生人完全不考虑自己——停下手头的工作,停止赚钱——和我在一起购物几个小时,这真是太不可思议了。” Nicole一边照顾刚出生的儿子,一边为他的医疗状况筹集资金,她希望能把这位优步司机介绍给儿子,以感谢她富有同情心的举动。由此可推知,Nicole对Belinda为她做的事感到感激和惊讶。故选A。
【27题详解】

Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.
Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel ignored or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to taper off. Professor Goel decided to do something to improve this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson.
Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn’t too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was
launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and sufficient time, Jill was able to answer the students’ questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.
The goal of Professor Goel’s virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence.
28. What problem did Professor Goel meet with?
A. Students’ questions were too many to deal with.
B Teaching assistants were not professional at all.
C. Many students were lack of interest in his class.
D. He felt confused about how to teach online.
29. Which of the following best explains the underlined phrase in Paragraph 2?
A. grow dramatically B. increase sharply
C. decrease gradually D. decline unreasonably
30. What do we learn about Jill Watson?
A. She could answer all questions without mistakes.
B. She turned out to be a great success.
C. Her performance was remarkable all the way.
D. Her true identity was still a secret to students.
31. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. A robot gives an online course.
B. Virtual assistant is getting popular in school.
C. Robots will replace humans in online classes.
D. One Georgia Tech’s teaching assistant isn’t human.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. D
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章说明了佐治亚理工学院的Ashok Goel
教授开发了一个人工智能助教,以帮助处理在线课程中大量的学生问题,即基于知识的人工智能。文章还介绍了这一做法的产生的原因是学生的问题太多,教授无法处理。以及这个名为Jill Watson的虚拟助理投入的过程,以及学生们对此的反馈。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn’t enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.可知Goel教授已经有了8名助教,但这还不足以应付学生每天提出的大量问题。由此可知,Goel教授遇到的问题是学生的问题太多了,无法处理。故选A。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文When students feel ignored or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to可知当学生感到被忽视或困惑,和一些问题没有被回答时,他们继续学习的动力就开始逐渐taper off了,由此可知,划线短语意思为C项“逐渐减少”。故选C。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn’t know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn’t tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn’t inform them about Jill’s true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.可知虚拟助理变得如此先进和现实,以至于学生们不知道她是一台电脑。这些学生正在学习人工智能,他们与虚拟助手进行互动,无法将其与真人区分开来。Goel直到4月26日才告诉他们Jill的真实身份。学生们对这次经历给予肯定。由此可推知,虚拟助理Jill Watson很非常成功。故选B。
【31题详解】

D
Humans really do have a sixth sense that lets us detect magnetic fields (磁场), but we’re not aware we have it. It has long been known as ESP, Spider Sense, or the ability to see things before they happen. But now scientists have proved that humans really do have a sixth sense-that lets them detect magnetic fields. Tests have shown that mankind may have the same inborn sense of Earth’s magnetic field that has long been proved to exist in animals.
By putting a protein from the human retina (视网膜) into fruit flies, researchers noticed that the insect adjusted its flight path just as if its eye had not been changed. This suggests that the “sixth sense” does exist in humans but we might not be aware of it. Animals use such sight to navigate long distances during migration or, in the case of birds, to “see” where they are going. The complex tests involved examining the process by which light goes through a bird’s eye, which has interested the scientific community for more than 30 years. In the late 1970s, the physicist Klaus Schulten concluded that birds fly by relying on geomagnetically (地磁) sensitive biochemical reactions in their eyes.
Tests have shown that the special cells in the eye carry out this function using the protein cryptochrome (蛋白隐色素). Professor Reppert’s team used wild fruit flies, replacing their version of cryptochrome with the human equivalent (等价物), and then put them in a maze (迷宫) with each wing wrapped in a metal coil (金属圈). They then sent electricity through it so that the coil was magnetised in a way which is just like Earth’s electromagnetic field (电磁场). The flies responded in exactly the same way as if they had their own cryptochrome, by either avoiding the magnetic fields or moving towards them if the researchers had placed sugar nearby.
The new study was published in the journal Nature Communications.
32. What do we know about humans’ sixth sense?
A. Humans have been aware of it since ancient times.
B. It is quite different from the animals’.
C. It is the ability to predict what will happen.
D. It is also a sense developed after birth.
33. Why did researchers put a protein from the human retina into fruit flies?
A. To change fruit flies’ flight path.
B. To test if humans have a sixth sense.
C. To examine the process of birds’ flying.
D. To allow researchers detect magnetic fields.
34. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. the maze B. each wing
C. cryptochrome D. the metal coil
35. After being replaced the cryptochrome, how are the wild fruit flies?
A. They responded normally as if there had been nothing changed.
B. They couldn’t avoid the magnetic fields like before.
C. They lost the sense of direction completely.
D. They couldn’t find the sugar the researchers had placed nearby.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. A
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。人类确实有第六感,可以探测磁场,但我们没有意识到自己有第六感。科学家们已经证明了人类确实有第六感——可以用来探测磁场。试验表明,人类对地球磁场感知能力可能与动物一样,这一点早已被证明是存在于动物身上的。文章还详细介绍了这一试验的操作过程。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中It has long been known as ESP, Spider Sense, or the ability to see things before they happen.可知长久以来,它一直被称为超感知觉、蜘蛛感,或者是在事情发生之前看到它们的能力。由此可知,人类的第六感是预测将要发生的事情的能力。故选C。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中By putting a protein from the human retina into fruit flies, researchers noticed that the insect adjusted its flight path just as if its eye had not been changed. This suggests that the “sixth sense” does exist in humans but we might not be aware of it.可知通过将人类视网膜上的一种蛋白质注入果蝇体内,研究人员注意到果蝇调整了飞行路线,就好像它的眼睛没有被改变一样。这表明“第六感”确实存在于人类中,但我们可能没有意识到它。由此可推知,研究人员把人类视网膜中的一种蛋白质放入果蝇体内,是为了测试人类是否有第六感。故选B。
【34题详解】
词义猜测题。根据上文Professor Reppert’s team used wild fruit flies, replacing their version of cryptochrome with the human equivalent, and then put them in a maze with each wing wrapped in a metal coil. They then sent electricity through可知Reppert的研究小组使用野生果蝇,用人类的蛋白隐色素替代它们的蛋白隐色素,然后将它们置于迷宫中,每只翅膀都包裹在一个金属线圈中。然后他们把它(金属线圈)通上电,这样线圈就被磁化了,就像地球的电磁场一样。由此可知,it指代的是“金属线圈”。故选D。
【35题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中The flies responded in exactly the same way as if they had their own cryptochrome, by either avoiding the magnetic fields or moving towards them if the researchers had placed sugar nearby.可知果蝇的反应与它们自身的蛋白隐色素完全相同,它们要么避开磁场,要么在研究人员把糖放在附近的情况下向磁场移动。由此可知,蛋白隐色素被取代后,野生果蝇的反应很正常,就好像什么都没有改变一样。故选A。
【点睛】
代词指代题要求同学们根据语境的逻辑关系、判断画线的人称代词或指示代词在文章中指代的对象,包括考查it(指动物,无生命的事物、特定的事件或人),they/them(指代人、物、事件的复数名词),he/she等人称代词的指代意义,以及指示代词this,that,these,those等在文章中的指代意义,考查同学们对文章中叙述特定的人,物,事件的认知能力。解答这类题时,同学们要认真阅读画线词所在句和前后临近句的内容,分析人称转换和动作变换的详细过程,理清来龙去脉和前后的因果关系,从而准确推断其指代的对象。
如第三小题,根据上文Professor Reppert’s team used wild fruit flies, replacing their version of cryptochrome with the human equivalent, and then put them in a maze with each wing wrapped in a metal coil. They then sent electricity through可知Reppert的研究小组使用野生果蝇,用人类的蛋白隐色素替代它们的蛋白隐色素,然后将它们置于迷宫中,每只翅膀都包裹在一个金属线圈中。然后他们把它(金属线圈)通上电,这样线圈就被磁化了,就像地球的电磁场一样。由此可知,it指代的是“金属线圈”。故选D。

第二节 (共 10 小题;每小题 1.5 分,满分 15 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入 1 个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Looking out of the window of his Ford truck, Bob Fitzgerald sees large, undesirable plants growing in the fields.___61___(visitor) to his neighborhood in Princess Anne, Maryland ___62___(main) see dying forests and empty farmland.
Fitzgerald says the land___63___(be) in his family for over 3 centuries. “I’d say in the next 20 years. You’re going to lose___64___very high percentage of that land.”
The land around the Chesapeake Bay has been sinking for hundreds of years. But climate change is making things___65___(bad). As sea level rises, salt water is entering rivers and other waterways. As a result, the ground is becoming too salty for crops___66___(grow) on.
Maryland’s Eastern Shore is home to some of the oldest farms in North America. Fitzgerald says he has seen big changes during his life.
“You just can’t believe___67___it’s been taking things over in the last 15 or 20 years. I can show you land around here that people raised tomatoes on when I was a little boy. And now it’s gone.”
Around the world, scientists warn that coastal farms are under___68___(threaten) from rising seas and salt water. A World Bank report estimates rice production in coastal areas of Bangladesh may fall___69___15 percent by the year 2050. Another study found hundreds of millions of people will___70___(force) to move inland because of rising waters.
【答案】61. Visitors 62. mainly 63. has been 64. a 65. worse
66. to grow 67. how 68. threat 69. by 50. be forced
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要以Bob Fitzgerald位于马里兰州的Princess Anne社区的土地为例,说明了由于土地下沉和气候变化导致海水上升,土地的含盐量越来越高,农作物无法在上面生长。在世界各地,科学家们警告说,沿海农场正受到海平面上升和海水上涨的威胁。
【61题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:到他位于马里兰州的Princess Anne社区拜访的人,主要看到的是凋零的森林和空旷的农田。此处做主语表示“拜访的人”应用名词visitor,且visitor为可数名词,前面没有冠词,故用复数形式。句首字母要大写。故填Visitors。
【62题详解】
考查副词。修饰后文动词see应用副词mainly,表示“主要”。故填mainly。
【63题详解】
考查动词时态语态。根据后文for over 3 centuries可知应用现在完成时,且主语为land,助动词应用has。故填has been。
【64题详解】
考查冠词。句意:你将会失去很大比例的土地。percentage为可数名词,此处表示泛指应用不定冠词,且very为辅音音素开头的单词。故填a。
【65题详解】
考查比较级。句意:但是气候变化使事情变得更糟。结合句意表示“更糟糕”应用比较级worse。故填worse。
【66题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:结果,土地的含盐量越来越高,农作物无法在上面生长。表示“太……以致不能……”短语为too…to…,故填to grow。
【67题详解】
考查连接词。此处为宾语从句,从句中缺少方式状语,表示“如何”应用how。故填how。
【68题详解】
考查名词。under为介词后跟名词作宾语,短语under threat表示“受到威胁”。故填threat。
【69题详解】
考查介词。根据短语fall by表示“下降了……”。故填by。
【70题详解】
考查动词语态。本句主语与谓语动词构成被动关系,且will后跟动词原形。故填be forced。
【点睛】名词性从句关键在于三点:
一、找准从句在主句中充当的成分即分出是名词性从句的主语句、宾语从句、表语从句还是同位语从句;
二、连接词从句中充当的成分(主、宾、定或状语或不做任何成分);
三、弄清楚每个连接词的意义。此外还要注意,近年来高考对于名词性从句的考查多从名词性从句的语序和连接词的用法区别上考查。
如第七小题,此处为宾语从句,从句中缺少方式状语,表示“如何”应用how。故填how。

A Swedish man called Erik start the movement. He became terrible worried about the amount of litter on the road but decided not to go to work by bike any more. Instead, he began to run to work and pick them up at the same time. To his happy, more and more people joined in him and soon plogging became popular.

【答案】1.that→which
2.runner→runners
3.hold→holding
4.start→started
5.terrible→terribly
6.but→and
7.them→it
8.happy→happiness
9.将in删掉
10.earth前加the/our
【语篇解读】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“拾荒慢跑”这种新的运动方式,在世界各地的跑步爱好者中越来越流行。文章介绍了这种运动方式的发起人和流行过程。
【详解】1.考查定语从句。此处为非限定性定语从句修饰先行词Plogging,且先行词在从句中做主语,故用关系代词which。故that改为which。
2.考查名词的数。runner为可数名词,前面没有冠词,故应用复数形式。故runner改为runners。
3.考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知hold在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且与逻辑主语themselves and friends构成主动关系,故用现在分词。故hold改为holding。
4.考查动词时态。此处描述过去发生的事情应用一般过去时。故start改为started。
5.考查副词。修饰后文形容词worried应用副词terribly,表示“非常”。故terrible改为terribly。
6.考查连词。句意:他非常担心路上的垃圾,决定不再骑自行车上班了。结合上下文语境可知为承接关系,故用连词and。故but改为and。
7.考查代词。此处指代上文the amount of litter应用代词it。故them改为it。
8.考查名词。根据短语to one’s happiness表示“令某人高兴的是”,后跟名词happiness。故happy改为happiness。
9.考查固定用法。join in是指参与某个活动,此处表示“加入某人”应用join sb.。故将in删掉。
10.考查冠词或代词。句意:许多人选择plogging,因为他们认为plogging不仅有利于地球,而且也是一种很好的锻炼方式。earth为可数名词,此处特指“地球”或“我们的地球”前面应当添加定冠词the或形容词性物主代词our。故earth前加the/our。
【点睛】当分词做状语的时候,如果构成分词的动词与句子的主语构成主动关系,就使用现在分词做状语;当二者构成被动关系,使用过去分词做状语。如果分词的动作发生在谓语动词之前,就使用分词的完成式。如果分词与句子的主语没有关系,可以使用状语从句或者独立主格结构。
如第三小题,分析句子结构可知hold在句中应用非谓语动词形式,且与逻辑主语themselves and friends构成主动关系,故用现在分词。故hold改为holding。
