I tried convincing my tree daughters that the world’s secrets are hidden inside silence. The girls looked at me skeptically. Surely silence is nothing?‎ Sitting there at the dinner table, I suddenly remembered their curiosity as children, their wondering about what might be hiding behind a door and their amazement as they stared at a light switch and asked me to “open the light”, But now they are 13,16 and 19 and wonder less and less. If they still wonder at anything, they quickly pull out their smart phones to find the answer. None of them have any interest in discussing with me. To attract their attention, I told them about two friends of mine who had decided to climb Mount Qomolangma.‎ Early one morning they left base camp to climb the south-west wall of the mountain. It was going well. Both reached the summit, but then came the storm. They soon realized they would not make it down alive. The first got hold of his pregnant wife by satellite phone. Together they decided on the name of the child that she was carrying. Then he quietly passed away just below the summit. My other friend was not able to contact anyone before he died. No one knows exactly what happened on the mountain in those hours. Thanks to the dry, cool climate 8km above sea level, they have both been freeze-dried. They lie there in silence, looking no different.‎ The girls remained quiet, listening. It seemed as though they had got something.‎ It is easy to assume that the essence(本质)of technology is technology itself, but that is wrong. The essence is the time we spend with our family and how much freedom we have by technology.‎ ‎24. What’s the real purpose of the author’s telling the story?‎ A. To entertain the girls.‎ B. To attract the girls’ attention to technology.‎ C. To encourage the girls to explore the world’s secret.‎ D. To share a viewpoint about the essence of technology.‎ ‎25. Why are the girls unwilling to discuss problems with the author when they are puzzled?‎ A. Because they don’t want to solve them.‎ B. Because they can urn to the smart phone.‎ C. Because they feel ashamed for their problems.‎ D. Because they think it difficult to talk with others.‎ ‎26. How would the author think of the outcome of the storytelling?‎ A. It’s effective.‎ B. It’s unacceptable.‎ C. It’s embarrassing.‎ D. It’s discouraging.‎ ‎27. What does technology really bring us according to the text?‎ A. The answers to the puzzling problems.‎ B. The time with our family and freedom.‎ C. The information of learning the outside world.‎ D. The choice of communicating with our friends.‎ C We all have different ways to navigate（导航）when lost—whether asking a stranger for help, consulting an old-school map or simply following our nose. But on a bike, the risks are higher. One wrong garn or that you’re in a traffic jam with two lanes between your bike and the nearest pavement may ruin your good mood. Although cyclists, of course, managed to navigate before smart phones, cyclists can make two choices: a few stay calm and embrace getting lost, and the rest turn to a navigation app.‎ Google Maps added a directions function for cyclists in 2015 in the US and Canada, and two years later across Europe. And while there are dozens of other apps now offering a similar service, Google Maps has the demerits for many, so the app seems to be falling behind expectations.‎ As someone with o sense of direction, I knew it wouldn’t be easy when I started cycling earlier this year. I appreciated that the app gave me two warnings before I needed to turn off a road, and automatically recalculated my route if I accidentally went off course. But still, it wasn’t a smooth process. Google Maps thought I could cut across a double carriageway with no breaks in its barrier, assumed I knew what it meant when it told me to “head west”, and thought nothing of taking me the wrong way down a busy one-way street.‎ Cyclists don’t just want safety—they want convenience. Londoner Rosen Smith regularly cycles between Clap ham and the City of London and would like to see Google Maps calculate routes where his bike is allowed on public transport and more choice of the type of routes he can ‎ take. “Google tends to calculate the most common and comfortable cycle routes. It would be better to have an option which included the fastest route, regardless of comfort,” he says.‎ For this reason, Robson says he uses the app Cycle Streets instead. It offers a choice of four different route modes, based on the type the user wants, and saves previous routes. It also tells you how many calories a route burns, how many traffic lights you will encounter, and how busy it is.‎ ‎28. What higher risks may happen to cyclists according to Paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. Losing the way to their destinations.‎ B. Staying still in the same place for a long time.‎ C. Making wrong plans about the directions.‎ D. Taking wrong turn or being caught in a traffic jam.‎ ‎29. What does the underlined word” demerits” in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ A. Defense. B. Shortcomings. C. Existence. D. Techniques.‎ ‎30. What’s Robson’s opinion on Google Maps?‎ A. It needs improving.‎ B. It is difficult to operate.‎ C. It can provide convenient courses.‎ D. It offers the most common and fastest route.‎ ‎31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?‎ A. The Different Apps in Navigation B. The Rise and Fall of Google Maps C. Planning the Future of Google Maps D. The Disadvantages of Google Maps D For many of us, talking about money is embarrassing, especially revealing our income and spending habits in public. So it’s no wonder that seeking investment advice from computer program is so popular.‎ Consultancy firm Accenture found that 68% of global consumers would be happy to use robot-advice to plan for retirement, feeling it would be faster, cheaper, and fairer than human advice. “Many of our customers say they feel awkward in face-to-face meetings, preferring an ‎ online experience where they don’t feel nervous,” says Lynn Smith, a director of robot-advice firm Wealth Wizards. So how does robot-advice work and is it really any better than traditional financial advice?‎ Robot-adviser firms use algorithms（算法）to analyse your financial situation and goals and then work out an investment plan to suit you. Basically, you answer lots of questions online about your income, expenses, family situation, attitude to risk and so on, and then the algorithm allocates（分配）your saving to a series of investments, from index funds that aim to imitate a particular stock market index or sector, to fixed-income bonds.‎ Robot-advice is certainly growing in popularity. But are we really happy to give up the human adviser completely?” No” is the short answer. Accenture finds that a significant proportion of us still want human interaction, particularly when our finances are complex. “When a customer needs advice surpassing a number of different regulatory regimes, human advice will be required,” says John Perks, managing director of life and pensions at UK insurer LV, which launched its Retirement Wizard robot-advice service two year ago.‎ The truth is that only about a quarter of funds managed by clever humans overcome the market as a whole, so when you take into account the much higher management fees you pay for that kind of service, the performance difference is likely to be marginal（微不足道的）for most of us.‎ The robots may be coming, but in this case at least, they seem to be on the side of the small investor trying to save for a comfortable retirement.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the robot-advice from the second paragraph?‎ A. It’s suitable for all.‎ B. It’s complex but fair.‎ C. It’s expensive but accurate.‎ D. It’s beneficial and relaxing.‎ ‎33. If you want to use robot-advice, you should first .‎ A. consult human advice B. work out an investment plan C. answer lots of questions online D. analyze your financial situation ‎34. What does the underlined phrase “that kind of service” in Paragraph 5 refer to?‎ A. The allocation of retirement.‎ B. The robot-advice service.‎ C. Human fund management.‎ D. The performance difference.‎ ‎35. Why do we still need the human adviser according to the text?‎ A. Because some clients face retirement.‎ B. Because some finances are complex.‎ C. Because human interaction is necessary.‎ D. Because the human adviser offers better service.‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 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.‎ How to Pick the Perfect Watermelon I love watermelon, but what I don’t love about watermelon is picking them out. There is nothing worse than cutting into a watermelon and having it taste not sweet. 36 ‎ Evaluation: You need to evaluate your watermelon to make sure that the watermelon is symmetrical. Irregular shapes typically indicate the watermelon received inconsistent amounts of sunshine and water.‎ Color and Appearance: The color of the surface is extremely important. 37 If it’s shiny, it’s not ripe yet. Another important thing is to look for the field spot. This will be a yellow spot on the underside of a watermelon. It should be a creamy yellow color. 38 Don’t take the watermelon if the field spot is white or non-existent.‎ ‎ 39 For a sweeter and riper watermelon, there shouldn’t be a visible stem(茎)on the surface. If here’s a stem, it indicates that the eater melon doesn’t fall off the vine on its own.‎ Knock on it: Gently knock on the watermelon, and listen to the sound it makes. A ripe watermelon should have a full, deep, and hollow sound. 40 Make sure of the firmness of the melon when you knock on it. You want the surface to be hard and firm.‎ A. Look at the stem.‎ B.

That day, I took a 41 to Grand Central Station. We were driving in the 42 lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped out of a parking space right 43 us.

The taxi driver just smiled and 48 at the guy. And I mean he was 49 . So, I said, “Why did you just do that? This guy almost 50 your car and sent us to 51 !” And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call “the law of the garbage truck.”‎ Many people are like garbage trucks. They 52 around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of 53 , and full of disappointment. As their garbage 54 up, they need a place to dump it, and if you agree, they’ll dump it on you. When someone wants to dump their 55 on you, don’t take it 56 . You just smile, wave, wish them well, and 57 . You’ll be happy at what you do.‎ I started thinking, how often do I let garbage trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage and 58 it to other people? That day I said, “I’m not going to do that anymore.”‎ What about you? What will happen in your life if you let more garbage 59 pass you by? Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with 60 .‎ ‎41.

But people’s view on weight is keeping us from doing things to help us get 61 healthy body. Obesity researchers hate 62 when I say this, but their own data shows that obesity is not going to kill us. Most obese people don’t have 63 (short) lifespan(寿命) than non=obese people and in fact it’s the underweight people 64 are at most at risk.‎ So why does everybody think obesity is deadly? One reason is that obesity is associated with three different things that 65 (be) deadly and lead to shorter lifespan; being sedentary(久坐)； 66 （have） lower income; and not getting enough medical care. Everyone, the media, the medical community operate from the firm 67 (assume) that obesity is deadly. So any evidences contradicting that are ignored, It is true tat obese people are more likely 68 (get) diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But there are two things you need to realize. First of all, the obesity paradox. When obese people get the 69 (disease), they’re less likely to die of them than non-obese people. Second, to reduce the risks that you may suffer from, you don’t 70 (actual) have to get thin. You just need to exercise.‎ 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ Time waits for no man.
