[2019·安徽安庆二模]Spotify can tell if you're sad. Here's why that should scare you. Want to figure out if someone is a patient with a mental disability:Ask them what their favorite song is. A New York University study last year found that people who loved Eminem's Lose Yourself and Just in Bieber's What Do You Mean? were more likely to have trouble with mental disabilities than people who were into Dire Straits.
Over the past few years, Spotify has been improving the ability to analyze information to help businessmen target consumers with advertisements made specially for their needs. They conclude this from the sort of music you're listening to, combined with where and when you're listening to it, along with thirdparty data that might be available.
Now, to be clear, there's nothing significantly illegal about what Spotify is doing with your information. I certainly don't think that they are working with shadowy consulting firms to serve you ads selling a culture struggle while you're listening to music that suggests you might be in a terrible situation. However, I find it disappointing that our personal, private moments with music are increasingly being turned into information points and offered to advertisers.
You can see where this could go, can't you? As ad targeting gets ever more accurate,
- 18 -
businessmen will have the ability to target our feelings in potentially improper ways. According to one study, you are more likely to spend more on a product if you're feeling sad. You can imagine some companies might take advantage of that. And on that note, I'm feeling a little down about all this. Head off to treat myself to something expensive.
4.What's the purpose of the first paragraph?
A.To introduce a new song.
B.To draw readers' attention.
C.To help more patients.
D.To promote a new medium.

A.To provide services for the government.
B.To work with shadowy consulting firms.
C.To get listeners' personal information.
D.To help businessmen attract consumers.
6.What's the author's attitude toward Spotify?
A.Uncertain. B.Supportive.
C.Positive. D.Dissatisfied.
7.Who is the text probably designed for?
A.Music lovers. B.Officials.
C.Researchers. D.Managers.

[2019·洛阳市第二次统考]We've heard of robots and AI (artificial intelligence) taking human jobs, but I bet mayors don't really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon. They were wrong, and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.
AI can't legally run for highranking public management positions yet, but one mayoral candidate from Tama City, Tokyo, intended to maximize the use of artificial intelligence in running city affairs. He was running his campaign as an AI Mayor. Basically, he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having it collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.
“For the first time in the world, AI will run in an election,”human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced. “Artificial Intelligence will change Tama City. With the birth of an AI Mayor, we will conduct balanced politics.”
- 18 -
The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors. Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦) and asking for support.
Some people called Michihito Matsuda's campaign a stunt (噱头), as a human would still be the one legally in charge. However, others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background, adding that it had to be a better choice.
8.What's the advantage of the AI Mayor according to Michihito Matsuda?
A.Maximizing the use of AI.
B.Replacing human officials.
C.Creating balanced policies.
D.Bringing him beneficial effects.

[2020·长春市质量监测]Play is vital in every child's development, and for toddlers (蹒跚学步的小孩) the benefits of play especially come to life when they can connect with parents during playtime. To raise awareness and help parents create the time and attention span needed. The Lego Group launches a “Do not disturb playtime” campaign. 21 days is what it takes on average to break a habit, so for 21 days the Lego team will not post on social media during “toddler playtime”, defined as 5
- 18 -
a.m. — 8 p.m.
With social media being an integrated part and creative inspiration to modern family life, it is no surprise that researchers call our digital behavior as a concerning obstacle to quality playtime.
“While we are hooked_on our cellphones, we should think about turning them off when interacting with our young children. Kids learn so much from us and we don't want to get in the way of that. Take language learning for example. When nurturing caregivers talk to their children about what they are interested in, it helps them learn new words and new ways to express themselves. Our research shows that the use of cellphones in a conversation between parents and children disturbs children's word learning,” advises Roberta Golinkoff, Ph.D., Professor at the University of Delaware.
Our research shows that parents today understand their significant roles in insuring their kids grow up to be happy, wellrounded, and equipped for the future. At the same time, many worry about not spending enough time with their toddlers. Lego wants to inspire parents to make the small moments memorable.
“We know parents today feel more timestarved than ever before. Many feel guilty about not spending enough time with their little ones. Through the ‘Do not disturb playtime’ campaign we hope to reassure parents that it's not so much the amount of time they spend with their kids, but the small meaningful moments they create during play,” said Steffen Jensen, LEGO Croup Senior Marketing Director.
12.Which of the following words can replace the underlined phrase “hooked on” in Paragraph 3?
A.Addicted to. B.Familiar with.
C.Excited about. D.Strict in.
13.What can we know according to the passage?
A.Digital behavior is supposed to be totally abandoned in our daily life.
B.Parents today attach little importance to spending time with their children.
C.Parents have more time than before so they should accompany their children.
D.This campaign is intended to arouse parents' awareness of the importance of playtime.
14.What might be Roberta Golinkoff's attitude toward the campaign?
- 18 -
A.Disapproving B.Unconcerned.
C.Critical. D.Supportive.
15.While interacting with their children, what are parents advised to do?
A.Express themselves in new ways.
B.Focus on children's language learning.
C.Create memorable and meaningful experiences.
D.Provide children with big projects rather than small ones.

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在祖母临终前探视她时,对她坚强、富有爱心的一生作了追忆,并告诉我们“爱就是关怀”这一人生真理。
1.B 根据下文中的“First, they started a sausagemaking business. Then, they ran grocery store”可知,作者的祖母一家作为移民,他们先后开办了香肠制作店和食品杂货店,这说明他们很有冒险精神。adventurous“有冒险精神的”,符合语境。united“团结的”;reliable“可靠的”;cautious“小心的,谨慎的”。
2.C 根据上文中的“As the Depression (经济大萧条)... groceries”可知,此处应用“ugly”来形容经济大萧条,暗含了人们对经济大萧条的痛恨之情。ugly“丑陋的,险恶的,令人不快的”,符合语境。rigid“僵硬的”;big“大的”;heavy“沉重的”。
名师点津:此空颇具感情色彩。经济大萧条给人们的生活带来了巨大的负面影响,人们对其应是痛恨的,故ugly“丑陋的”最能体现人们对经济大萧条的憎恶之情。
3.C 由于经济大萧条,人们买不起食品杂货。afford“支付得起”,符合语境。manage“经营”;demand“需要,要求”;supply“供应”。
4.D 根据上文中的“Her father insisted on helping by extending credit to them”“his selfless help led to financial disaster”可知,在经济大萧条的形势下,作者祖母的父亲坚持为人们提供信贷服务。但是当人们不能偿还信贷时,他无私的关爱给他的家庭带来经济灾难。when“当……的时候”,符合语境。
5.A 参见上题解析。下文中的“repay them”亦是提示。unpaid“未偿还的”,符合语境。unconfirmed“未经证实的”;unknown“未知的”;unnoticed“被忽视的”。
6.A 根据上文中的“After her parents' deaths two years later”和下文中的“She found a job... repaid”可知,祖母的父母去世后,她承担了那些债务。take over“接管,接手”,符合语境。turn over“使翻转”;pick up“捡起”;make up“构成,组成”。
7.B 父母都去世了,她承担起照顾弟弟们的重任。mother“给以母亲的关爱,像母亲般地照顾”,符合语境。下文中的“looking after and protecting them”是提示。bother“使烦恼”;comfort“安慰”;instruct“指导”。
8.D 根据上文中的“She fell sick... helpless”和下文中的“She finally pulled herself together”可知,但是,她最终振作起来了。前后句之间存在语义上的转折关系,故however“但是”符合语境。therefore“因此”;meanwhile“与此同时”;otherwise“否则,要不然”。
9.C 她说服了债主们延长还债期限。persuade“说服”,符合语境。command“命令”;remind“提醒”;expect“期待”。
10.B 过了一段时间之后,她家的债务终于还清了。in time“经过一段时间之后,最后”,符合语境。in turn“轮流;转而”;in secret“秘密地”;in surprise“惊讶地”。
- 18 -
11.D 根据上文她说服债主延长还债期限,找到工作并还清债务的内容可知,祖母有很大的决心和毅力。determination“决心,毅力”,符合语境。intelligence“智慧”;fortune“运气”;confidence“信心”。
12.A 经历了许多的挫折,祖母发现了给予的力量。loss“损失;失利”,此处可理解为“挫折,逆境”,符合语境。role“角色”;attempt“尝试”;error“错误”。
13.B 祖母经历了许多挫折,却没有对生活心生怨恨,反而感激生活赋予的一切。下文中的“Be appreciative of everything”亦是提示。thankful“感激的”,符合语境。ready“准备好的”;respectful“尊敬的”;responsible“负有责任的”。
14.A 即使是对那些已度过困难时期却拒绝偿还信贷的家庭,作者的祖母亦不曾有过抱怨。refuse“拒绝”,符合语境。promise“承诺”;pretend“假装”;intend“打算”。
15.D 根据语境可知,此处指祖母多次讲述的一件往事(story)。business“商务;公事”;challenge“挑战”;activity“活动”。
16.C 祖母的妹妹正经历困难时期。go through“经历,经受(困境、痛苦等)”,符合语境。go around“传播,流行”;go with“附属于”;go over“仔细考虑,仔细检查”。
17.A 根据下文中的“into an envelope __18__ to Olivia”可知,尽管祖母只剩下两美元来度过那一周,但经过一番挣扎之后,她还是把这仅有的两美元装到信封里寄给了妹妹。此处用calmly表明祖母内心的平静,更能说明她的爱心之伟大。hesitantly“不情愿地,犹豫地”;thoughtfully“体贴地”;gently“温柔地”。
18.D 参见上题解析。address“写(收信人)姓名地址”,符合语境。
19.B 作者的祖母重复道:“Lauren,要对一切事物心存感激。要关爱他人。爱就是关怀。”repeat“重复,重说”,符合语境。continue“继续说”;respond“答复”;explain“解释”。

第二节
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国实体书店的现状及西西弗书店的发展历程。
1.which 考查关系词。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰前面的整个句子,且从句中缺少主语,所以用which引导该从句。
2.competition 考查词形转换。根据语境以及空前的定冠词the可推知,此处应用compete的名词形式competition,表示“竞争”。
3.biggest 考查形容词最高级。根据空前的one of the和空后的bookstore chains in China及语境可推知,此处应用big的最高级形式。
4.as 考查固定用法。serve

as“充当……”为固定用法,此处表示西西弗书店的成功是一个很好的例子。
5.Founded 考查非谓语动词。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,found与其逻辑主语Sisyphe之间为动宾关系,故用其过去分词形式。
6.selling 考查非谓语动词。devote oneself to sth.“致力于某事”中的to为介词,介词后面应接动名词形式,故填selling。
7.creative 考查词形转换。修饰名词应用形容词,故用creative修饰其后的cultural products,表示“创造性的文化产品”。
8.enables 考查动词的时态、主谓一致及词形转换。它也使人们能够享受阅读和饮用咖啡的时光。根据语境并分析句子结构可知,此处需要谓语动词;根据上文中的opens可知,此处应用一般现在时,且空前的主语it是第三人称单数,所以填enables。
9.it 考查代词。分析句子结构可知,此处动词不定式为真正的主语,故用代词it作形式主语。
10.has offered 考查动词的时态和语态。so far为现在完成时的标志,且根据语境可知,offer与其主语the government为主动关系,所以此处应填has offered。

第一节 短文改错
Since I was a kid, I've considered different jo I would like to do. First, I wanted to be a fireman, whose uniform looked so . Then, when I was in the grade, I wanted to be a teacher because I liked my English teacher much. When I studied chemistry high school, I reconsidered my goal decided to be a doctor. were two reasons for the decision. One was that I was at the fact that a sick person could feel much better after seeing a doctor. And the other that I wanted to help people in need.
①考查名词的数。句意:自从“我”小的时候起,“我”就考虑自己想做的不同的工作。根据本句中的形容词different可知后面的名词(job)需用复数形式,故将job改为jobs。
②考查形容词。句意:最初,“我”想成为一名消防员,因为他们的制服看上去很酷。本句中looked为系动词,后面需加形容词而非副词作表语,以说明uniform的特征,故将coolly改为cool。

③考查数词。句意:后来,当“我”上五年级时,“我”想成为一名教师。因为“我”非常喜欢“我”的英文老师。错误处需用序数词而非基数词作名词grade的定语。此外,错误处前的定冠词也暗示应用序数词。
④考查副词。副词too意为“太……,过于……”,所表达的意思和本句表达的意思不一致,故将too改为very或so。
⑤考查介词。句意:当“我”在中学学习化学时,“我”再次考虑“我”的目标并决定当一名医生。错误处需添加介词in或at与high school一起作地点状语。in/at high school“在中学”。
⑥考查连词。本句中“reconsidered my goal”与“decided to be a doctor”为递进关系而非选择关系,故将or改为and。
⑦考查特殊句式。句意:(做出)这个决定的原因有两个。本句应使用there be句型,表示“有……”。
⑧考查形容词。句意:一个原因是病人看过医生后感觉会更好,“我”对这个事实感到惊讶。amazing意为:令人吃惊的;amazed意为:惊讶的。根据句意可知需将amazing改为amazed。
⑨考查形容词的比较级。“more+多音节形容词原级”为多音节形容词的比较级形式,而better已经是形容词的比较级形式,副词more多余,故被删除。
⑩考查时态。句意:另外一个原因是“我”想帮助有需要的人。根据上句中One was可知本句也需用一般过去时,故将is改为was。
