Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in New York City. During his long life, he watched America grow from a young nation to the strongest industrial power in the world. Whitman was influenced by events around him. But his poetry speaks of the inner self. He celebrated great people like President Abraham Lincoln. He also celebrated common people.
As a young man, Whitman worked as a school teacher, printer and newspaper reporter. He was 36 years old when his first book of poetry was published. He called it Leaves of Grass. It had only twelve poems. The poems were written in free verse. The lines did not follow any set form. Some lines were short and some were long. The words at the end of each line did not have a similar sound. They did not rhyme.
One of America’s greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman’s work. But most other poets and writers said nothing or denounced it.
The American Civil War began in 1861. During the war, Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals. He helped care for wounded and dying soldiers. He sat beside these men for hours. He brought them food and wrote letters for them. After the Civil War, Whitman worked for government agencies. He watched the United States try to heal itself and increase democracy (民主)To Walt Whitman, democracy was more than a political system or idea. It was the natural form of government for free people. Whitman believed democracy was meant to honor the rights of every person and the equality of all people.
In 1873, Walt Whitman suffered a stroke (中风). He spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey and wrote more poems. Whitman was poor and weak during the last years of his life. He died in 1892.

Faced with a decreasing population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as packing boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR)headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated robots, because they don’t require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain. And their easy-to-use controls require little training. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart, believes this will enable the chain to hire workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting rapidly through the experiments, it is not quite ready to enter the workforce. Besides being a lot slower than humans, it is also only able to lift packaged items, and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables. The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster, more skillful Model-T within the next two years. They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
5. What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text
A. It works much faster than humans.
B. It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C. It can be operated from a distance away.
D. It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
6. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A The low price of Model-T. B. The easiness to operate Model-T.
C. The low-level programming of Model-T. D. The strict training for maintaining Model-T.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Model-T is now being massively produced.
B. Japan’s workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C. The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D. Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
C
People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的)across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, but Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery. shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories happy. sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, while Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have various these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
8. What does the discovery show about Westerners
A. They observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways.
B. They have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions.
C. They pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.
D. They consider facial expressions universally reliable.
9. What were the people asked to do in the study
A. To observe the researchers’ faces. B. To get their faces impressive.
C. To make a face at each other. D. To classify some face pictures.
10. In comparison with Westerners, what are Easterners likely to do
A. They study the mouth more frequently. B. They examine the eyes more attentively.
C. They read facial expressions more correctly. D. They do translation more successfully.
11. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding
D. The Eye as the Window to the Soul
D
In contrast to the often-heard views that robots will replace human workers, researchers from Gartner predicts that artificial intelligence(AI)may actually create, more jobs than it’s expected to take away. By 2020, artificial intelligence has created 2. 3 million jobs, going beyond the 1. 8 million that it has replaced, the company said in a recent report. In the following five years to 2025, net (净得的)new jobs created in relation to AL will reach 2 million, according to the report.
The number of jobs affected will be different from industry to industry. The public sector(公共部门), health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing(制造业)and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat.
“Robots are not here to take away our jobs, they’re here to give us a promotion”. “I think that’s the way we should start looking at AI” Bhat told reporters on Tuesday.
Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai-Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 percent of all jobs in the next decade.
Gartner acknowledged in its report that AI would cut millions of middle-and low-level positions. But it stressed that more new jobs would be created, including highly-skilled jobs, management positions and even low-skilled jobs.
“IT leaders should not only focus on the projected increase of jobs,” the report said. “For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI-related opportunities or threats.”
12. What does research firm Gartner think of artificial intelligence
A. Human workers will be out of work. B. AI will create more jobs than it cuts.
C. AI will run out of human control. D. New industries will replace old ones.
13. Who are most likely to lose their jobs according to Gartner
A. Teachers. B. Dentists.
C. Bus drivers. D. Social workers.
14. How does Kai-Fu Lee seem to feel about the development of AI
A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful.
C. Worried. D. Confused.
15. What does research firm Gartner suggest IT leaders do
A. Take advantage of new industry opportunities.
B. Provide people with training programmes.
C. Stop the old business and turn to new business.
D. Welcome AI and adapt to changes brought by it.

【答案】1. C 2. B 3. C 4. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了美国著名的诗人Walt Whitman 的生平事迹。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。第一段提到“But his poetry speaks of the inner self. He celebrated great people like President Abraham Lincoln. He also celebrated common people.”（但他的诗讲的是内心的自我。他歌颂像亚伯拉罕·林肯总统这样的伟人。他也赞美普通人。）Whitman通过诗歌来讲述内心的感受，并歌颂伟人和普通人，由此判断，他是通过写诗来表达自己的情感。故选C。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。第一段第一句提到“Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in New York City.”（沃尔特·惠特曼于1819年出生在纽约市。）第二段第二句提到“He was 36 years old when his first book of poetry was published. He called it Leaves of Grass.”（他的第一本诗集出版时，他36岁。他把它叫做《草叶集》。）1819+36=1855, 由此判断，《草叶集》应出版于1855年。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。第三段第一二句提到“One of America’s greatest thinkers and writers immediately recognized the importance of Leaves of Grass. Ralph Waldo Emerson praised Whitman’s work.”（美国最伟大的思想家和作家之一立即意识到《草叶集》的重要性。拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生赞扬了惠特曼的作品。）后文中的but（但是）表示转折，其他作者对《草叶集》的发表保持了沉默或谴责他，说明其他作者并不太赞赏他的诗集，甚至认为他写的不好。故选C。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。第四段第二三句提到“During the war, Whitman worked without pay at army hospitals. He helped care for wounded and dying soldiers.”（战争期间，惠特曼在军队医院无偿工作。他帮助照顾受伤和垂死的士兵。）后文提到“After the Civil War, Whitman worked for government agencies. He watched the United States try to heal itself and increase democracy (民主). To Walt Whitman, democracy was more than a political system or idea. It was the natural form of government for free people. Whitman believed democracy was meant to honor the rights of every person and the equality of all people.”（内战结束后，惠特曼为政府机构工作。他目睹了美国试图自我治愈并加强民主。对惠特曼来说，民主不仅仅是一种政治制度或理念。这是自由人民的自然政府形式。惠特曼认为，民主意味着尊重每个人的权利和所有人的平等。）由此判断，Whitman不仅在战时帮助照顾伤员，同时在战后在政府工作时仍然为自己的国家考虑，说明他是一个有自我奉献精神的人。故选B。

Faced with a decreasing population and workforce, Japan has been increasingly turning to robots for help. Over the years, the robots have carried out a large number of human tasks, including building products and providing care for the elderly.
However, the robots currently being used by companies, like Walmart and Amazon, are only able to perform single, repetitive tasks, such as packing boxes. Model-T, on the other hand, has a wider range of movement and is able to hold, pick and place objects of several different shapes and sizes into different locations, making it ideal for convenience and grocery stores, which sell a large variety of items.
Model-T robots are operated from a distant location by human “pilots” wearing a virtual reality (VR)headset and special gloves, which allow them to feel the product the robot is holding in their hands and guide it to the right shelf.
The VR-controlled robots are ten times cheaper than automated robots, because they don’t require advanced programming and are easier to develop and maintain. And their easy-to-use controls require little training. Tomohiro Kano, a general manager in charge of development at FamilyMart, believes this will enable the chain to hire workers who would typically not work in stores.
Though Model-T appears to be getting rapidly through the experiments, it is not quite ready to enter the workforce. Besides being a lot slower than humans, it is also only able to lift packaged items, and cannot get hold of things such as fruits and vegetables. The company is working to improve the weaknesses and hopes to introduce a faster, more skillful Model-T within the next two years. They believe that in addition to the stores, the robots could also be useful in hospitals, allowing doctors to do operations from remote locations.
5. What is one of the features of Model-T according to the text
A. It works much faster than humans.
B. It can easily hold all kinds of objects.
C. It can be operated from a distance away.
D. It is harder to produce than an automated robot.
6. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to
A. The low price of Model-T. B. The easiness to operate Model-T.
C. The low-level programming of Model-T. D. The strict training for maintaining Model-T.
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Model-T is now being massively produced.
B. Japan’s workforce will be reduced by Model-T.
C. The weaknesses of Model-T have been overcome.
D. Model-T may be used in wider fields in the future.
【答案】5. C 6. B 7. D

People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.
Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的)across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.
“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, but Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”
According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery. shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to express emotion in cross-cultural situations.
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories happy. sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, while Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”
In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have various these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.
8. What does the discovery show about Westerners
A. They observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways.
B. They have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions.
C. They pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth.
D. They consider facial expressions universally reliable.
9. What were the people asked to do in the study
A. To observe the researchers’ faces. B. To get their faces impressive.
C. To make a face at each other. D. To classify some face pictures.
10. In comparison with Westerners, what are Easterners likely to do
A. They study the mouth more frequently. B. They examine the eyes more attentively.
C. They read facial expressions more correctly. D. They do translation more successfully.
11. What can be the best title for the passage
A. Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions
B. Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills
C. How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding
D. The Eye as the Window to the Soul
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了最新的科学研究发现：东方人比西方人更难于读懂他人的面部表情。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。第三段第二句提到“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, but Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”（西方人对眼睛和嘴巴的评价是对等的，但东方人更看重眼睛，而忽略了嘴巴。）由此判断，西方人在交谈时对于眼睛和嘴巴的关注度是一样的。故选C。

细节理解题。第二段提到“Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly (均匀的)across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.”（格拉斯哥大学的研究员瑞秋·杰克说，东方人不像西方人那样均匀地扫视一张脸，而是把注意力集中在眼睛上。）由此判断，与西方人相比，东方人更加专注于谈话时对方的眼部活动。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章第一段提到“People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions—and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.”（东亚人在识别面部表情方面往往比欧洲人更困难——《当代生物学》在线发表的一篇新报告解释了其中的原因。）后文中提到的研究也提到了西方人和东方人对面部表情识别时不同的地方：西方人更关注整个面部表情，而东方人更关注眼部的活动。文章最后一段中提到“From here on, examining how cultural factors have various these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. ”（从这里开始，研究文化因素是如何影响这些基本社交技能的，将有助于我们理解人类的情感。）由此判断，文化的差异性也是影响人们阅读情绪情感时的因素。A项“Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions”（情绪阅读时的文化差异）符合文意。故选A。

In contrast to the often-heard views that robots will replace human workers, researchers from Gartner predicts that artificial intelligence(AI)may actually create, more jobs than it’s expected to take away. By 2020, artificial intelligence has created 2. 3 million jobs, going beyond the 1. 8 million that it has replaced, the company said in a recent report. In the following five years to 2025, net (净得的)new jobs created in relation to AL will reach 2 million, according to the report.
The number of jobs affected will be different from industry to industry. The public sector(公共部门), health care and education are expected to get the most jobs, while manufacturing(制造业)and transportation may be hit the hardest, said Gartner’s research director, Manjunath Bhat.
“Robots are not here to take away our jobs, they’re here to give us a promotion”. “I think that’s the way we should start looking at AI” Bhat told reporters on Tuesday.
Gartner’s positive predictions contrast with the warnings on the dangers of AI sounded by top technology industry voices such as Kai-Fu Lee, the founder of venture capital firm Sinovation Ventures. He said robots are likely to replace 50 percent of all jobs in the next decade.
Gartner acknowledged in its report that AI would cut millions of middle-and low-level positions. But it stressed that more new jobs would be created, including highly-skilled jobs, management positions and even low-skilled jobs.
“IT leaders should not only focus on the projected increase of jobs,” the report said. “For the greatest value, focus on improving people with AI. Enrich people’s jobs, reimagine old tasks and create new industries. Change your culture to make it rapidly adaptable to AI-related opportunities or threats.”
12. What does research firm Gartner think of artificial intelligence
A. Human workers will be out of work. B. AI will create more jobs than it cuts.
C. AI will run out of human control. D. New industries will replace old ones.
13. Who are most likely to lose their jobs according to Gartner
A. Teachers. B. Dentists.
C. Bus drivers. D. Social workers.
14. How does Kai-Fu Lee seem to feel about the development of AI
A. Uncertain. B. Hopeful.
C. Worried. D. Confused.
15. What does research firm Gartner suggest IT leaders do
A. Take advantage of new industry opportunities.
B. Provide people with training programmes.
C. Stop the old business and turn to new business.
D. Welcome AI and adapt to changes brought by it.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“第三文化儿童”这一概念，以及这种跨文化经历给孩子带来的益处和弊端。
【43题详解】
考查副词。句意：你是否在一种文化中长大，你的父母来自另一种文化，而你现在生活在一个完全不同的国家？由副词修饰形容词可知，此处为副词totally作状语修饰形容词different。故填totally。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：“第三文化儿童”这个词是在20世纪60年代由鲁斯博士首次使用的。根据句中in the 1960s可知，句中描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时，主语The word “third-culture kid”单数名词和谓语动词use为被动关系，所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填was used。
【45题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：在研究生活在印度的北美儿童时，她第一次发现了这一现象。分析句子可知，此处为while引导时间状语从句的省略用法，当主从句主语一致时，可省略从句的主语和be动词，此处省略主语She和be动词was，句子主语She和research为主动关系，所以为现在分词形式。故填researching。
【46题详解】
考查动词短语。句意：总的来说，第三文化的孩子从他们的跨文化经历中受益，他们通常会取得优异的学业成绩。分析句子可知，此处为动词短语benefit from“从……中收益”，满足句意要求。故填from。

考查代词。句意：第三文化的孩子可能无法适应新环境。分析句子可知，句中涉及固定短语adapt oneself to，意为“使自己适应或习惯于……”，所以此处为they的反身代词themselves的填入。故填themselves。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：此外，他们经常发现很难发展新的友谊。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型find it hard to do sth.“发现做某事很难”，句中it为形式宾语，动词不定式to do作真正的宾语，所以此处为动词不定式形式。故填to develop。
【50题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意：而且，对于一个来自第三文化的孩子来说，搬到一个新的国家比回到自己的祖国要容易得多。由空后的than可知，此处为形容词比较级形式作表语。故填easier。
【51题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：例如，在澳大利亚生活多年后，路易斯终于回到了她出生的国家。分析句子可知，该空引导限制性定语从句，先行词country，关系词替代先行词在从句中作地点状语成分，此处为关系副词where。故填where。
【52题详解】
考查冠词。句意：她和其他同龄的青少年有着不同的价值观。根据句意以及空后same可知，此处为固定短语the same“同样的”，满足句意要求，所以此处为定冠词the的填入。故填the。

第三节 根据提示翻译句子(共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分)
61. 如果我们感到沮丧或孤独，没有什么比看到好朋友的笑脸更好的了。（汉译英）
【答案】If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.
【解析】
【详解】考查条件状语从句和动名词。“如果我们感到沮丧或孤独”用if引导条件状语从句，“感到沮丧或孤独”翻译为feel down or lonely，时态用现在进行时表现在正在进行的动作，主语是we，其后be动词是are，因此此部分翻译为“If we are feeling down or lonely”；“没有什么比......更好的了 ”是固定用法there is nothing better than...，“看到好朋友的笑脸”用动名词作宾语，因此翻译为“seeing the smiling face of a good friend”。因此整个句子翻译为“If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend”。故答案为If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend。
62. 此外，互联网使人们的朋友和家人即使身处天涯海角，也可以很容易地保持联系。(汉译英)
【答案】Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.
【解析】
【详解】考查副词、固定句型、让步状语从句、介词短语和时态。根据句意以及句子结构可知，表示“此外”为副词Moreover；表示“使做某事对于某人成为可能”应为固定句型sth makes it possible for sb to do，其中，表示“朋友和家人”应为名词短语friends and family；表示“很容易地保持联系”应为动词短语keep in touch easily；结合句意可知，此处为现在完成时，表示动作已经完成；后接连词even if表示“即使”引导的让步状语从句，在该从句中，表示“身处天涯海角”应为介词短语on opposite sides of the world。故翻译为：Moreover, the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.
63. 尽管外面艳阳高照，我也分不清是早上还是晚上。 (-ing做主语)(汉译英)
【答案】Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句、非谓语动词、时态。分析句子结构，这是一个包含让步状语从句的复合句，“尽管外面艳阳高照”为让步状语从句，表示“尽管”含义的表达为：Even though；“艳阳高照”为一种生动的表达，使用现在进行时，翻译为：the sun is brightly shining；主句表达的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时。表示“分清”含义的动词为：tell，根据括号内提示，使用动名词形式做主语，因本句表达的是“分不清”，翻译为：telling…is impossible；表示“是早上还是晚上”含义的表达为：whether it is morning or night；故整句翻译为Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.。
64. 一看到大海，大海的浩瀚和令人惊叹的美丽给我们留下了深刻的印象。(汉英)
【答案】Seeing the sea, we were deeply impressed by the vastness and the amazing beauty of the sea.
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语和固定短语。“大海”可翻译为the sea，“看到”可使用动词see，其中可使用非谓语形式，与主语we（我们）之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此可使用现在分词在句中作状语，“给......留下深刻的印象”可使用固定短语be deeply impressed by，“大海的浩瀚和令人惊叹的美丽”可使用名词短语the vast and the amazing beauty，根据语境可知，该句陈述过去事实，因此需使用一般过去时。故翻译为Seeing the sea, we were deeply impressed by the vastness and the amazing beauty of the sea.。
65. Nevertheless, I will always look on the positive side of the change and accept it rather than resist it. (英译汉）
【答案】然而，我总是看到变化的积极的一面，接受它而不是抵制它。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语和时态。Nevertheless是“然而”，look on意为“看待”，the positive side of the change意为“变化的积极的一面”，accept it是“接受它”，rather than是“而不是”，resist it是“抵制它”，因此整句话翻译为“然而，我总是看到变化的积极的一面，接受它而不是抵制它”。故答案为“然而，我总是看到变化的积极的一面，接受它而不是抵制它。”。
