二、 新的题型

16. 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

It was a sunny day. A little boy’s father was sitting on the couch, drinking a beer while watching ____41____ basketball match. Seeing this, the boy rushed to his father and shouted, “Daddy, show me how to play catch!” The father, staring ____42____ the television screen, replied, “Let me finish watching the match. Play outside and come back in five minutes.”

“Okay, Daddy!” said the boy, running out of the room. Five minutes later, the boy returned,

____43____ (scream), “Daddy, let’s play catch now!”

By this time, the father had opened another cold beer and another match was beginning. ____44____ (patient) with the boy’s interruption, the dad brought a magazine to his son. On the cover of the magazine was a large picture of the world. The father, who was angry and ____45____ (brother), began tearing the magazine cover into small ____46____ (piece). Then, the father turned to his boy and said, “Son, once you put this picture back together, we can play catch, but do not interrupt me again ____47____ you finish.”

A few minutes later, the boy returned and said, “I ____48____ (finish), Daddy! Can we play catch now?” Surprised, the father glanced towards his child, and there lay the magazine with the world pieced perfectly together in his small hands. The dad asked his child ____49____ he put the world together so quickly.

“____50____ was simple,” said the boy. “On the back of the world was the picture of a person, and once I put the person together, that’s when the world came together.”

参：

41. a 42. at 43. screaming 44. Impatient 45. bothered

46. pieces 47. until/before 48. have finished 49. how 50. It/That/This

这是一个小故事，孩子不断打断父亲，要父亲陪他出去玩球，在看电视的父亲是如何支开孩子的，孩子又做了些什么呢？

41. 考查冠词。语境表示父亲正在看一场篮球比赛，故应在basketball match前加冠词a，泛指“一场篮球比赛”。

42. 考查介词。Stare at表示“盯着……看”

43. 解析：考查非谓语动词。本空所在句子的两个动词return和scream之间没有连词，又the boy与scream之间是主谓关系，因此本空用觋在分词作伴随状语。

44. 考查形容词。从语境的连贯看，这里应该用形容词短语impatient with...作状语，表示“对……不耐烦”。

45. 考查非谓语动词。语境表示父亲很生气，很恼火，故用bothered“烦恼的”。 46. 考查名词搭配。这里用tear...into pieces表示“把……撕成碎片”。

47. 考查状语从句。语境表示“在你做完之前不要来打扰我”，故用until或before引导时间状语从句。

48. 考查时态。孩子说他把事情做完了，故用现在完成时表示从说话时为止已经完成了的动作。 49. 考查句式。这里用there lay句式表示“……就在那里放着”。

50. 考查代词。这里用代词It，That或This指代前面提到的“把这张图画粘贴到一起”这事。

17. The ancient Chinese game Go is considered one of the most complicated strategy games. Winning the game was seen as a test of human creativity. That is, until a machine found a way to do it better. Alpha Go, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine built by Google, won its first match against South Korean Lee Sedol on March 9. Still digesting his loss, Lee said during the post-game press conference, “___16___”

But that was just the beginning. In the following week, Alpha Go outperformed Lee in another three matches. ___17___ Some people have been arguing that AI is harmful to the human race. ___18___ Similarly, UK scientist Stephen Hawking once warned that the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”.

So are we really on the verge(边缘)of living in the world shown in the Terminator(终结者)sci-fimovies? “Not quite,” answered The Economist. After all, it’s hard to get computers to apply their knowledge to everyday situations. “___19___” Thomas Johnson said, founder of an AI toy company. “But for a robot, to walk up and down hills requires so many complicated decisions to be made in real time, and it’s really difficult to do.”

As The Economist put it: “We have a long way to go before AI’s abilities truly begin to approach the human brain, despite how powerful the technology can be when focusing on a single task.”

Meanwhile, John Mark off of The New York Times argued that researchers should build artificial intelligence that aims for “intelligence augmentation (增加)” (IA) in which computers make people more effective.

He wrote: “___20___Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make choices using technology to improve the world.”

A. Many robots fell over like little kids learning to walk. B. We take for granted things like balance and vision. C. Eventually, our fate is in our own hands. D. So what is next for AI and humanity?

E. That made the five-match score 4-1 in favor of Alpha Go.

F. In 2014, US businessman Elon Musk said at an MIT conference that developing the technology is calling up a “demon(魔鬼)”.

G. I am in shock; I admit that.

参：

16. G 17. E 18. F 19. B 20. C

18. 句意：

2014，美国商人Elon Musk在麻省理工学院的会议上说，技术的发展是一个“召唤恶魔（魔鬼）”根据上句“Some people have been arguing that AI is harmful to the human race.” 一些人一直认为人工智能对人类有害。以及下文“Similarly, UK scientist Stephen Hawking once warned that the “development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”.” 同样，英国的科学家Stephen Hawking曾警告说，全人工智能的发展可能会带来人类的终结”。故选F。

19. 句意：我们想当然的幻想达到一种平衡。根据“After all, it’s hard to get computers to apply their knowledge to everyday situations.” 毕竟，很难让计算机把他们的知识运用到日常生活中。故选B。

20. 句意：最终，我们的命运掌握在自己手中。根据后文“Since technology depends on the values of its creators, we can make choices using technology to improve the world.” 由于技术取决于其创造者的价值，我们可以选择使用技术来改善世界。故选C。

三、 阅读理解 18. 阅读理解

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

“How was school, Ben?” I asked my grandson after he began kindergarten(幼儿园) this year. “The work is too long… and there’s not enough time to play,” he replied.

I couldn’t help but remember Ben’s own mother, my daughter, Jane, and her reaction(反应) to the first day of school. Julie was also disappointed with the first day of school and so was her little sister. My three-year-old daughter announced angrily after her big sister got on the big yellow school bus, “I want to go ‘sool’ and you not let me!”

When Julie returned home that afternoon, I asked her the same question that I asked Ben, “How was school, Julie?” Julie replied, “I didn’t learn to read today.”

This year as the school bus passed my house, my mind went back to those school days again. I could almost smell the chalk dust in the air. I also wonder what the children these days manage to get chosen to do in order to get out of school for a few moments since there are no erasers to clean. It was fun to be “chosen” for eraser cleaning duty. This was a task finished by going outside and beating erasers together while sneezing and coughing. No wonder so many babies now have allergies(过敏症), and it’s simply because we all have chalk dust in our lungs! On the first day of school, the expectation was so great that I would be ready long before it was time to leave for school. We didn’t have backpacks because we had cigar boxes. We carried our small supplies inside a cigar box from one of the local stores. We saved the cigar boxes and used them from year to year until they fell apart.

The first day of school was exciting. It was a new beginning. The doors of knowledge had been opened. The first day of school is an event in our lives that most of us remember. It’s a big step for a small child toward leaving babyhood and so “there isn’t enough time to play”.

63. Why did Jane become angry according to the passage?

A. Because she didn’t learn to read on the first day of school. B. Because there was too much work for her to do at school. C. Because she had no time to play at school. D. Because she was not allowed to go to school. . The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 suggests that . A. the author was thinking of her school days jokingly B. the author warned students against the harm of chalk dust C. the author suffered from an allergy because of chalk dust D. the author doubted whether her lungs had chalk dust 65. When the author went to school, she . A. usually carried a backpack full of books

B. used to fill a cigar box with small things C. wasn’t happy and expected nothing D. hid a cigar box in her backpack

66. In the opinion of the author, the first day of school is . A. a day when a child is the happiest B. a day when a child does much work C. the beginning of great learning D. the end of childhood full of toys 参： 63-66 DABC
