During the Gold Rush, merchants needed a faster way to ship their goods to the West, turning every voyage into a race. The current record holder was the Surprise, which had made the New York to San Francisco trip in ninety-six days. Ellen planned to break that record with her ship, the Flying Cloud.
To achieve the goal, Ellen learned to use navigation (航海) instruments and do the complicated math calculations from her captain father. She also studied positioning charts made by Lieutenant Marthew, Ellen’s race against time began on June 2, 1851. It was her responsibility to keep track of the ship’s progress and current position and to plan the best course for it to follow. She chose a course different from the ones ships normally used and the Flying Cloud passed the equator two days less than ever before.
Heading south, when Ellen and the Flying Cloud was about to reach the Cape Horn, powerful wind slammed into the ship, tipping it sideways. Thirty-foot waves crashed over the deck. Ellen knew that the fastest way to get there was through the Strait of Le Maire. But it was risky. The narrow strip of water was only fourteen miles wide with rocky coasts on both sides. It would not be a problem on a clear day. But Flying Cloud was hit with their worst storm yet. Between the blinding snow and the lack of daylight, visibility was cut to almost nothing. Ellen used dead reckoning to plot a course she hoped would take the Flying Cloud toward the entrance to the strait.Finally, when the skies cleared, Ellen was relieved to see that she were right and everyone were safe on board. On July 22, lucky winds pushed the ship through the strait.Finally, at eleven-thirty the morning of August 3l, 185l, Flying Cloud had completed its voyage in eighty-nine days and twenty-one hours, beating Surprise’s record by an entire week.Crowds gathered on the beach to watch Flying Cloud’s arrival. News of the broken record spread quickly, making Ellen an instant celebrity. Her achievements were recognized in newspapers across the country, The success of her voyage required a combination of skill, experience and courage. Luckily, Ellen had them all.
24．What was Ellen’s main job on the Flying Cloud
A．Doing math calculation and making charts.
B．Analyzing the data and predicting the weather.
C．Locating the ship’s position and deciding the course.
D．Following the captain’s instructions and drawing maps.
25．Which of the following words can best describe Ellen
A．Intelligent and generous. B．Brave and straightforward.
C．Adventurous and sensitive. D．Ambitious and committed.
26．Which rhetorical device is used in the underlined sentence in paragraph 3

27．What was the biggest challenge when Ellen crossed the Strait of Le Maire
A．The powerful waves. B．The rocky coasts.
C．The narrow strip of water. D．The low visibility
【答案】24．C 25．D 26．C 27．D
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了Ellen在19世纪的淘金热期间，如何通过自己的技能、经验和勇气，驾驶Flying Cloud号船打破了从纽约到旧金山的航行记录。
24．细节理解题。根据第二段“It was her responsibility to keep track of the ship’s progress and current position and to plan the best course for it to follow. （她的责任是跟踪船只的进展和当前位置，并规划最佳航线。）”可知，Ellen在Flying Cloud号上的主要工作是定位船只的位置并决定航线。故选C项。
25．推理判断题。根据第三段“Her achievements were recognized in newspapers across the country, The success of her voyage required a combination of skill, experience and courage. Luckily, Ellen had them all.（她的成就在全国的报纸上得到了认可，她的航行成功需要技能、经验和勇气的结合。幸运的是，Ellen都具备了。）”以及前文内容可知，Ellen展现了她的雄心和坚定，她获得了全国的认可，这实现了她的雄心，说明她是有雄心的（ambitious），还选择了不同于常规的航线，并在恶劣天气中坚持自己的决定，这表现了她是committed（坚定的）。故选D项。
26．推理判断题。根据第三段“Thirty-foot waves crashed over the deck."（三十英尺高的波浪冲过甲板。）”这里使用了暗喻的修辞手法，让人联想到海浪和海风之大。故选C项。
27．推理判断题。根据第三段“Between the blinding snow and the lack of daylight, visibility was cut to almost nothing.（由于刺眼的雪和缺乏日光，能见度几乎降到了零。）”可知，当Ellen穿越Le Maire海峡时，她面临的最大挑战是能见度极低。故选D项。

Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream (流播) directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, binge-watching has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back (一集接一集地), almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their household chores (家务活). Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction
The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”
28．How did the writer develop the first paragraph
A．By giving a definition. B．By telling a story.
C．By listing some examples. D．By analyzing the cause and effect.
29．Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “concurrently” in Paragraph2
A．For convenience. B．At the same time.
C．In detail. D．Free of charge.
30．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.
A．people can’t control their feelings B．people can’t resist the temptation of Bingeing
C．people have no patience to do work D．people are addicted to waiting for a new episode
31．What advice did the writer give at last
A．To keep online media from stopping functioning.
B．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
C．To learn life lessons from the episodes.
D．To watch episodes in a moderate way.
【答案】28．A 29．B 30．B 31．D
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了随着互联网的速度和连通性的发展，技术的进步和点播娱乐公司的兴起，大多数人们都存在追剧行为。这种追剧对人们的生活、健康都产生了许多消极影响，就此作者建议看剧要坚持适度原则。
28．推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream(流播) directly to their television at their convenience. (Binge-watching是指一个人连续看一集以上的节目。随着互联网的速度和连接性的发展，技术的进步和点播娱乐公司的兴起，人们现在可以在方便的时候将自己喜欢的节目直接流到电视上。)”可知，本段是对刷剧的定义。故选A。
29．词义猜测题。根据文章第二段画线词前的句子“Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis (通常，我们不是按周发布每一集)”以及第二段中“Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode. (一集结束后，许多平台会弹出“你可能喜欢”的提示，或者自动播放下一集。)”可知，同时提供整个系列，画线的词指的是“同时”。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, ‘The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.’ (消费者组织主管林赛·福塞尔说：“为下一集等待一周的日子基本上已经一去不复返了，人们发现很难抗拒在家里或在路上看多集的诱惑。”)”可推知，人们抵不住诱惑。故选B。
31．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“So, what’s the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, ‘A little of what you fancy does you good.’ (那么，答案是什么 节制!既不要太少，也不要太多。毕竟，正如一句古老的谚语所说：“一点点你喜欢的东西对你有好处。”)”可知，刷剧需要有节制。故选D。
D
The words “caring” and “empathetic” (共情的) aren’t ones normally associated with technology. Yearsley, an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence (AI), is trying to change that.
Yearsley is the founder of Akin, a robotics startup that currently uses a tablet-based system to help users manage the tasks related to home life, whether that’s planning meals or reminding you to pay your cell phone bill. Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate (操控) buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.
In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends. “It’s the hardest AI I have ever built for it’s a complex system,” Yearsley says.
Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017, when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored. Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work. A United Nations’ report estimates that women do2.6 times the amount of unpaid care and domestic work that men do, or close to 30 hours per week in the U. S. alone.
While Yearsley pictures an army of robots someday helping with routine homemade tasks, the first display for Akin will take time and money. Akin has received some early seed money from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.
32．What might the Akin’s AI system suggest
A．Consuming more drinks to enjoy yourself. B．Staying up late working to make more money.
C．Spending more time staying with your family. D．Purchasing products that may attract you.
33．What made Yearsley develop the Akin’s AI system
A．The high cost of current home devices. B．Akin’s becoming a finalist for a program.
C．Financial support from investors. D．Heavy burden of housewives.
34．What can be used to describe the Akin’s AI system
A．Questionable and unhealthy. B．Unstable and insecure.
C．Thoughtful and innovative. D．Mature and ideal.
35．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To introduce a futuristic AI system. B．To compare two companies’ AI systems.
C．To call on people to care about housewives. D．To seek support for an AI expert.
【答案】32．C 33．D 34．C 35．A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了Akin公司的一套未来人工智能系统。
32．推理判断题。根据第三段“In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends.(相比之下，她正在开发的人工智能将被设计为管理人类的家庭，鼓励健康的决定，比如晚上散步，给冰箱加满食物，支持与朋友共进午餐或庆祝生日等社交互动)”可知Akin的人工智能系统支持与家人一起度过更多时间。故选C。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段“Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017, when she realized .the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored. Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work.(Yearsley在2017年开始开发Akin技术，当时她意识到更好地管理家庭的需求被严重忽视。此外，她意识到女性承担家务的负担是不平等的)”可知，Yearsley的AI系统研发的因素之一就是家庭主妇和照顾者的沉重负担。故选D。
34．推理判断题。根据第二段“Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate (操控) buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.(目前由谷歌、亚马逊或苹果生产的家用设备使用预测性人工智能来跟踪模式、强化行为并操控购买决策。其中有一些，她认为，是有问题的或者不健康的)”和第三段的“In contrast, the Al that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends.(相比之下，她正在开发的人工智能将被设计为管理人类的家庭，鼓励健康的决定，比如晚上散步，给冰箱加满食物，支持与朋友共进午餐或庆祝生日等社交互动。)”可知，Akin公司的人工智能系统是考虑周到的且新颖的。故选C。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Akin has received some early seed money from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.( Akin已经从一些投资者那里获得了一些早期种子资金，最近还入选了科技巨头LG Nova的“未来使命”项目的决赛名单，该项目是一个年度挑战，旨在寻找有潜力改善生活、引领社会走向未来的企业)”并结合全文可知，本文的目的是介绍Akin公司的一套未来人工智能系统。故选A。
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。
Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A．They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B．here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C．Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D．So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E．How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F．Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G．However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.
【答案】36．E 37．A 38．F 39．C 40．G
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍一些帮助孩子对运动感兴趣的方法。
36．根据上文“Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. (活跃和运动对我们所有人都非常重要，对儿童来说尤为重要。)”可知，这里强调活跃和运动对儿童来说尤为重要。选项E“孩子的活跃程度将影响他们的整体健康和学习。”和上文意思一致。故选E。

During the Gold Rush, merchants needed a faster way to ship their goods to the West, turning every voyage into a race. The current record holder was the Surprise, which had made the New York to San Francisco trip in ninety-six days. Ellen planned to break that record with her ship, the Flying Cloud.
To achieve the goal, Ellen learned to use navigation (航海) instruments and do the complicated math calculations from her captain father. She also studied positioning charts made by Lieutenant Marthew, Ellen’s race against time began on June 2, 1851. It was her responsibility to keep track of the ship’s progress and current position and to plan the best course for it to follow. She chose a course different from the ones ships normally used and the Flying Cloud passed the equator two days less than ever before.
Heading south, when Ellen and the Flying Cloud was about to reach the Cape Horn, powerful wind slammed into the ship, tipping it sideways. Thirty-foot waves crashed over the deck.

Binge-watching (刷剧) is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in a row. With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favorite shows stream (流播) directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, binge-watching has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes, many platforms will display pop-ups with “you might like” suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode.
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back (一集接一集地), almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and 25% have neglected their household chores (家务活). Next we’ll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections — binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, consumer group director, said, “The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist (抗拒) watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move.” If people find binge-watching hard to resist, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction
The countless number of information and entertainment that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what’s the answer Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, “A little of what you fancy does you good.”

C．In detail. D．Free of charge.
30．What Lindsey said in Paragraph 4 implies that ______.
A．people can’t control their feelings B．people can’t resist the temptation of Bingeing
C．people have no patience to do work D．people are addicted to waiting for a new episode
31．What advice did the writer give at last
A．To keep online media from stopping functioning.
B．To enjoy entertainment as much as possible.
C．To learn life lessons from the episodes.
D．To watch episodes in a moderate way.
D
The words “caring” and “empathetic” (共情的) aren’t ones normally associated with technology. Yearsley, an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence (AI), is trying to change that.
Yearsley is the founder of Akin, a robotics startup that currently uses a tablet-based system to help users manage the tasks related to home life, whether that’s planning meals or reminding you to pay your cell phone bill. Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate (操控) buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.
In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends. “It’s the hardest AI I have ever built for it’s a complex system,” Yearsley says.
Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017, when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored. Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work. A United Nations’ report estimates that women do2.6 times the amount of unpaid care and domestic work that men do, or close to 30 hours per week in the U. S. alone.
While Yearsley pictures an army of robots someday helping with routine homemade tasks, the first display for Akin will take time and money. Akin has received some early seed money from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.
32．What might the Akin’s AI system suggest
A．Consuming more drinks to enjoy yourself. B．Staying up late working to make more money.
C．Spending more time staying with your family. D．Purchasing products that may attract you.
33．What made Yearsley develop the Akin’s AI system
A．The high cost of current home devices. B．Akin’s becoming a finalist for a program.
C．Financial support from investors. D．Heavy burden of housewives.
34．What can be used to describe the Akin’s AI system
A．Questionable and unhealthy. B．Unstable and insecure.
C．Thoughtful and innovative. D．Mature and ideal.
35．What’s the purpose of the text
A．To introduce a futuristic AI system. B．To compare two companies’ AI systems.
C．To call on people to care about housewives. D．To seek support for an AI expert.

Helping Your Kids to Be Interested in Sports
Being active and moving is something that is so important for us all, especially for children. 36 However, some parents can feel shocked when they see that their child isn’t interested in sports. So how can you encourage them to have ago
It is such a good idea to lead by example when you are a parent. This is true for a variety of aspects, but especially forgetting children involved in sport. 37 So you need to be someone who is interested and active, if you want any hope of them doing so too. If you lay on the couch all day then they will just learn to do that too.
38 Although they can choose who they want to support, seeing your enthusiasm for a particular player or team can be just what is needed to start their journey. You could look for a team uniform store to get them a sports shirt with their name on for example, as well as see the team play at one of their games. 39
If something is dull, it will be hard for children to be enthusiastic about it. This will make them resent(讨厌) it, which is not a good thing for later in life. If they show particular skill and learn to play sport, then more practice and training can come in. 40 When they can enjoy what they do, they will only see it as something fun to do, rather than what we as adults might see it as, such as a chore to burn calories.
Whatever sport your child chooses to play, encourage them and make it fun, and then it will be something that they will want to carry on doing as they go about the rest of their lives.
A．They won’t be interested in sports if you’re not.
B．here are some other tips that you would share with them.
C．Share your enthusiasm and it will help to lighten a passion.
D．So think about ways that can get them to be active in the sports.
E．How active a child is will impact their overall health and learning.
F．Apart from leading by example, you could also share your favorite team.
G．However, the main message forgetting children into sport is to keep it fun.
