Text 10
The first American President, George Washington, worked with the city planner Pierre L'Enfant to choose the land for the new presidential home. A competition was held to find a building designer.
Nine plans were considered, and the architect James Hoban won. Construction began in 1792. The first president to live there was John Adams. He and his wife Abigail moved into the White House in 1800. During the war of 1812，British troops burned most of the inside of the White House. James Hoban helped rebuild it. Over the years，each president has made changes or additions to the building.
The White House walls are made of stone that is painted white. But the famous building has had other names over time, including the President's House and the Executive Mansion. In the early 1900s, President Theodore Roosevelt made the White House its official name.
In the 1930s，President Franklin Roosevelt decided to rebuild and expand part of the building that became known as the West Wing. Some of the public rooms in the White House are named colours. There is the Blue Room, the Green Room and the Red Room.
第二部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分)
第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Life in the Future
What life will be like in the future is difficult to predict. It is, however, possible to use models to make forecasts about future developments. One way to catch a glimpse of the future is to examine some of the major trends in contemporary society.
Transportation
Current trends (趋势) indicate that transportation is becoming cleaner, faster and safer. Public transportation is already well developed in most urban areas of China. New technology is being used to make sure that the cars, taxis, buses and trains we use do not pollute the air. A good example of how transportation is changing is the new maglev train, which is environmentally friendly, energy-saving and travels at an amazing speed of 430 km/h. To ensure safety, the train is controlled by an advanced computer system. Scientists are also developing new fuels and engines that will let us travel without worrying about whether we are polluting the environment.
Business
It will not be business as usual in the future. Many companies and consumers have already begun reforming the way they do business. E-commerce, or business done on the Internet is becoming more and more popular as people discover the advantages of online shopping. The Internet also makes it easier for companies to keep in touch with customers and companies in other countries. For people who do go out for shopping, shopping is no longer just a necessity. It has become a form of entertainment. Instead of searching a crowded store for basic goods, such as food and clothes, people want to go to a pleasant mall and combine shopping with fun.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要从交通和商业两方面预测了未来生活的样子。
21．Which of the following is not the feature of future transportation？(　　)
A．It will be greener. B．It will be safer.
C．It will be faster. D．It will be cheaper.

22．What's the definition of E-commerce？(　　)
A．It is business done on the Internet.
B．It is business related to electricity.
C．It is business related to electronics.
D．It is business done by electricians.

23．What will the future mall be like？(　　)
A．In the mall people can combine shopping with having fun.
B．The future mall will be as large as a small city.
C．People can do anything in the future mall.
D．The future mall will offer everything people need.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段可知， 对于购物的人来说， 购物不再只是一种必要。它已经成为一种娱乐形式， 人们希望把购物和乐趣结合起来。由此可推断出， 在未来的购物中心里人们不仅可以购物， 而且还可以玩得很开心。
B
Apart from speeches, in my point of view, we can use our eyes to express ourselves. And through one's eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions. Eyes are always the most direct organs to reveal our thoughts.
Until now I still remember an experience, which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother's eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing before that, but I was too shy to sing in public.So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest. With my mother's company and encouragement, I was determined to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all attention. I got so nervous that I couldn't even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous. I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me—I couldn't remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother's eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me, “Take it easy. You can do it! I'll always be with you！” I read the message in her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, “Great! I'm proud of you！” and gave me a big hug. At that moment. I saw her eyes filled with tears of joy. Sometimes, you see, just a look of encouragement from a loved one can make a shy person brave.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要通过讲述作者小时候参加歌唱比赛时，站在舞台上很紧张，但是通过看到母亲的眼睛，“我”看到了鼓励和强大的力量，克服害羞和紧张并顺利地参加比赛的事来证明——我们可以用眼睛来表达自己。

27．What's the best title for the passage？(　　)
A．How to Express Ourselves
B．Encouraging Eyes
C．A Singing Contest
D．Confidence and Success
答案：B

C
It's a late night in the metro area of Phoenix, Arizona. Under the streetlights, a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue “W” glows (发光) from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat. When the person waiting for it opens the door to climb inside, a voice greets him. “Good evening, this car is yours，” it says. This is a Waymo One robotaxi, ordered just 10 minutes ago using an app.
The promise of driverless technology has long been inviting. It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting (通勤) and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It's key to helping us build the cities of the future, lowering carbon emissions (碳排放). And it could make travelling safer. “We want safer roads and less accidents. Automation could provide that，” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK's Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).
But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream (主流), much still needs to change.
“Driverless vehicles should be a very calm way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be driving in that way，” says David Hynd, from TRL. “It's got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for example, or breaking the rules of the road.”
And that's not the only challenge. “The whole insurance industry is looking into how they're going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in charge to the vehicle doing that，” says Richard Jinks, from driverless vehicle software company Oxbotica.
The ultimate vision (终极愿景) experts are working towards is of completely driverless vehicles, not only for personal use but also for industry and wider transport networks, that can be used anywhere and everywhere around the world.
But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了无人驾驶汽车的优势及其目前面临的挑战。
28．What is special about the car mentioned in Paragraph 1？(　　)
A．It drives very fast.
B．It has colorful wheels.
C．It can sense its driver's feelings.
D．It is automatic and drives itself.
答案：D
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...a car can be seen slowly approaching and parking. A green and blue ‘W’glows from the windscreen, giving off just enough light to see inside—showing a completely empty driver seat”及“‘Good evening, this car is yours，’it says”．可知，这是一辆全自动的无人驾驶汽车。
29．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about driverless vehicles？(　　)
A．Their potential advantages.
B．Their wide popularity.
C．Their special design.
D．Their main dangers.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第二段中的“It has the potential to improve our experience of commuting and long journeys and take people out of high-risk working environments. It's key to helping us build the cities of the future...And it could make travelling safer.”可知，本段介绍了无人驾驶汽车几大潜在的优势。
30．With what might Hynd and Jinks both agree about driverless technology？(　　)
A．It isn't ready for wide application.
B．It will make driving a safe experience.
C．It isn't developing as smoothly as planned.
D.It will increase profits in the insurance industry.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段中David Hynd所说的“It's got to be able to deal with human drivers speeding, for example, or breaking the rules of the road.”可知，David Hynd认为无人驾驶技术需要解决超速或违反交通规则等问题。根据第五段中Richard Jinks所说的“The whole insurance industry is looking into how they're going to deal with that change from a person being responsible and in change to the vehicle doing that”可知，无人驾驶技术的应用还涉及车辆保险理赔的问题。由此可推断，David Hynd和Richard Jinks都认为，无人驾驶汽车技术目前还面临着一些问题，不适合应用推广。
31．How does the author feel about the future of driverless vehicles？(　　)
A．Hopeful. B．Surprised.
C．Uncertain. D．Disappointed.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段“But with all these challenges in place, what exactly does the next 10 years have in store for autonomous vehicles？”可知，作者不确定未来十年无人驾驶汽车的发展将会怎样。in store“即将发生；等待着”。
D
If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean. However, in her presentation last week, Alexandra Cousteau, a world-renowned environmental advocate, offered a small sign of hope.
Cousteau's talk, titled “Telling the Story of Our Water Planet: Innovation in Filmmaking and Social Media to Effect Environmental Change”， focused on using innovation and technology to create environmental solutions with a focus on restoration rather than preservation. She described our current approach to conservation as a “zero-sum game” between environmentalists and economists. An endangered species habitat can either be protected or developed; a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate (恶化). Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game.
In the 1970s, the environmentalist movement focused on conservation efforts. Cousteau said, “It was an effective tool then when plastics were young. But we have lost 50% of our oceanic ecosystems since 1950. Conservation is no longer enough.” Cousteau urges us to create biological richness for the creatures still living in the sea.
Throughout her speech, Cousteau discussed the challenges facing our oceans and the solutions lying at our fingertips. She explained the power of seaweed farming to sequester (隔离) carbon. She talked of 3D printing coral reefs rather than painstakingly growing. Most of all, she focused on the youths and our amazing power for driving practical change.
Cousteau said, however, there are challenges in the mission. Ocean conservation has inequalities (不平等) in its approach and implementation. Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done. Despite these obstacles, Cousteau's message gave hope.
Modern environmentalism is no longer the work of a few, but the work of many dedicated individuals with a common vision for change. Together, we can regain hope and rebuild our oceans.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界经济论坛预测，到2050年，海洋中的塑料将比鱼类更多，世界著名的环保倡导者Alexandra Cousteau提出现代环保主义不再是少数人的工作，我们要一起努力，重建我们的海洋。
32．Why is the World Economic Forum's prediction mentioned？(　　)
A．To share environmental solutions.
B．To tell the content of Cousteau's talk.
C．To show the serious result of oceanic garbage.
D．To show our current dangerous living condition.
答案：C
解析：推理判断题。由文章第一段前两句“If we continue at our current production rate, the World Economic Forum predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. Today, there is a garbage island three times the size of France floating in the Pacific Ocean.”可知，文章提及the World Economic Forum预测是为了引出本篇文章的主题——海洋当中的塑料问题很严重。
33．What does Cousteau want to express through the “zero-sum game”？(　　)
A．The failure of protecting the environment.
B．People's awareness of protecting the Earth.
C．The success of the environmentalist movement.
D．People's creative solution to protecting the Earth.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。由文章第二段的“She described our current approach to conservation as a ‘zero-sum game’ between environmentalists and economists. An endangered species habitat can either be protected or developed; a polluted stream can either be cleaned or left to deteriorate. Both teams are on the defensive, yet playing a losing game. ”可知，提及zero-sum game是为了说明这是一场失败的比赛。
34．What does Cousteau think of the environmentalist movement in the 1970s？(　　)
A．It should be continued.
B．It should be prevented now.
C．It was useful for biological richness.
D．It was good but then had little effect.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。由文章第三段可知，Cousteau 认为在20世纪70年代的环保运动有效但现在保护已经不够了。
35．What can we know about Cousteau from the text？(　　)
A．Her goal is difficult to achieve.
B．Her focus on the youths' efforts is wrong.
C.She will rebuild the ocean by herself in the future.
D．She believes in the present ways to protect the ocean.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“Cousteau said, however, there are challenges in the mission. Ocean conservation has inequalities in its approach and implementation. Though the science exists, lawmakers need to employ these solutions efficiently and equitably, which is far easier said than done. Despite these obstacles, Cousteau's message gave hope.”可知，她的想法说起来容易做起来难，即比较难实现。

In the future, when robots can be used both in homes and in other areas, they could improve the living standards of people. 36(____) When robots can complete such jobs, people can spend more time with their family and friends.
Experts believe robots can be used on certain jobs to avoid accidents caused by careless behavior of some people. When robots are used on such work, it does not risk any human life due to accidents at the workplace. Human resources can be efficiently used by performing tasks which demand human skills like critical thinking and problem solving. 37(____)
While some people talk about how robots can be useful to humans, others voice their concerns. When robots become cheaper to produce, employers may prefer to use more robots than humans. As the technology constantly improves the abilities of robots, it could weaken the value of humans. 38(____) Some may even develop the habit of using robots on tasks that they can easily do. This could create a lazy society.
39(____) Without them, the nation's health care system will break down. There will simply be too many elderly people to care for as the nation faces a decreasing birth rate, an aging population, and the loosening of family ties. 40(____) Above all, Japan needs its dreams of robots in the home to come true because its immigration policy is anti-immigration.

“We already have lab-grown burgers 62.________ come from stem cells; but so far it's just beef and chicken and fish，” said Frey, 63.________ (add) that it will get more specialized. “Restaurants will want other 64.________ (kind) of meat, all grown in labs with stem cells.”
“And, if you happen to bring an impatient baby, there 65.________ (be) lab-grown breast milk，” said Frey.
【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了未来的食物。
56．答案：smaller
解析：考查比较级。根据下文中的“Fish size will shrink by up to 30 percent in the coming decades.”可知，此处表示“鱼将变小”，故填smaller。
57．答案：published
解析：考查动词-ed形式。设空处及“by Yale University”作后置定语修饰study，因为publish与study之间是逻辑上的动宾关系，故填published。
58．答案：to get
解析：考查动词不定式。根据语境可知，此处表示“人们将花很多钱买这种优质的水”，故填to get。“to get perfect water”在句中作目的状语。
59．答案：exactly
解析：考查副词。设空处作状语，表示“正是”，故填副词exactly。
60．答案：for
解析：考查介词。prepare sth. for sb.“为某人准备某物”。
61．答案：and
解析：考查连词。根据语境可知，此处表示“如今人们对食物很挑剔，将来更是如此”，设空处前后分句为顺接关系，故填连词and。
62．答案：which/that
解析：考查关系词。设空处引导限制性定语从句，修饰burgers，且在从句中作主语，故填关系词which/that。
63．答案：adding
解析：考查动词-ing形式。设空处及其后部分“that it will get more specialized”在句中作状语，Frey与add之间是逻辑上的主谓关系，且add表示的动作与谓语动词表示的动作几乎同时发生，故填adding。
64．答案：kinds
解析：考查可数名词的复数。设空处表示“种类”，kind是可数名词，因为其前有other限定，故填其复数形式kinds。
65．答案：will be
解析：考查一般将来时。根据上文的描述可知，设空处所在句表示将来的情况，应用一般将来时，故填will be。

Good afternoon，boys and girls!
I'd like to share with you my opinion about future life. With the development of science and technology，life will be greatly different in the future.
First，people will be able to do almost everything at home. They'll just need to give some simple instructions and robots will complete the tasks. Second，each family will have a flying machine. They'll be able to travel everywhere. Third，our environment will be much better than now，because some effective measures will be taken to protect it. The earth will become a big beautiful garden.
I believe people's lives will be much easier in the future.
That's all. Thank you for your listening.
第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I always wonder how people will react if I want a total stranger for help in a busy place like a street corner or in a crowded station. I personally have always hurried past a stranger who tried to catch my attention in a busy place or when I am rushing around.
Yesterday I was stuck in such a hopeless situation where my only hope of help would have to come from a total stranger.
I was in a busy shopping mall (中心) buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large, fancy, expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead.
I then requested the shop assistant who had just sold me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could help me telephone my driver. She replied, still all smiles, “I'm sorry, Sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.”
As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remembering my wife's interesting theory (理论) that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you're in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn't see me.
I waited a bit longer in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if there was a sign of kindness on their face. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager.

One possible version：
At that point I saw a young mother with her two kids. I thought that a beautiful woman with charming blue eyes must be willing to help me. So, with great expectation, I walked towards her with an appropriate smile on my face, and requested if she could be kind enough to make a phone call for me. However, without a word, she pulled her kids to escape from me, as if scared by a murderer. I stood there, hopeless, with a blank face and a sinking heart.
Finally a man wearing a cheap T-shirt and dirty jeans seemed to notice me. I squeezed a smile and requested him the same thing. Unexpectedly, he took out his mobile phone for me without hesitation. Dancing in his eyes was the real kindness that I had been struggling to look for so long. From that day on, I began helping other strangers in trouble, just like the poor-looking but kind man, with the aim of passing kindness and melting the ice in many people's hearts.
