38、s fought shy of doing the adventurous stuff myself, preferring instead to observe the experts from a safe distance and relay their experiences to readers in the form of written language.

39、ut it afterwards-I was unwilling, to say the least.I was lucky enough to have a brilliant climbing coach called Keith, who put me through my paces after my daily work. He gave me knowledge about everything from the importance of building muscle groups to how to avoid tiredness through nutrition. It
40、quickly became apparent that the mechanics of climbing were more complex than I had imagined. There was the equipment and techniques Id never even heard of, all of which would come in handy on the snow-capped peak Id be climbing.Aware of the challenge, Keith made a detailed action plan and I forced
41、myself to stick to it, doing a daily workout at the gym and going on hikes with a heavy pack. I perfected my technique on the climbing wall and even went to climb the mountains to get vital experience. My self-belief increased alongside my muscle power and I became confident about finishing the clim
42、b.All too soon I was on a plane to my destination. On that day, when I looked up at the mountain, I thought of abandoning it. But then I remembered all the hard work Id done and how disappointed Keith would be if I gave up at the last minute-not to mention letting down the charity and the sense of f

Just a few years ago, it would have been unusable. But now, those who
51、follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.Writing with your voice raises several interesting questions. How difficult is it actually? Human speech involves a lot more starting and stopping with errors and the need for repairing broken sentences than you may think. Even gifted sp
52、eakers make mistakes. To turn the spoken word into reasonable writing requires lots of planning. Youll need some kinds of notes or other organisers to make it work.Another question turning speech into writing raises is the style. How would writing make the change that people speak their writing rath
53、er than type? Chances are that it would come up with many more short sentences and more concrete language, which is good. It would probably also rely on prepared phrases a lot more often, which is not available when you are speaking quickly.To confirm this, a column was not written, but dictated (听写
54、). It was composed from brief notes written down for structure only, and it was edited for length, with all of the original errors kept in. Here were the results. The first was that the literal accuracy was extremely high. There werent many cases where the software had heard one word incorrectly and
55、 written down another. But the other result was that the readability of this column was rather bad. Obviously, the blame is not with the technology at all, which turns out to be rather good. Speaking into writing relies on a better human brain than the one we currently possess. Writing is hard. Ther
56、es a reason it cant be done at the speed of speech, in real time.To clarify the matter, this time paragraph breaks were added after the whole writing. Punctuations (标点) had to be spoken aloud, and after a full stop, the first word in the new sentence was capitalized automatically. Some minor punctua
57、tion marks were added to make it clearer. To improve accuracy, people “trained” the software beforehand, reading a prewritten passage aloud. Actually it turns out to be more effective. All of these ensure the satisfactory completion of turning speech into writing.Language is the most important tool
58、for human interaction, and voice is one beautiful part of language. With the maturity of modern technology, it has given birth to a great change in the human-computer voice interaction.27. According to the passage, which helps to turn speech into writing in terms of style?A. There is careful plannin
59、g in advance.B. Errors and broken sentences are avoided.C. People type words as fast as they say them.D. The writing contains more prepared phrases.28. To achieve better results, the author mentions some changes for _.A. processing errors in a column.B. adding minor punctuation marks.C. increasing t
60、he number of brief notes.D. integrating short paragraphs in writing.29. The author suggests that _.A. human brains are responsible for poor dictated writing.B. writing with voice promises to improve the quality of writing.C. writing is an unnatural act that can hardly be learned and improved.D. tech
61、nology has a long way to go in the human-computer voice interaction.30. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why people fully intend to turn speech into writing.B. What role voice technology plays in improving readability.C. Where the human-computer voice interaction is at an advantage.D. How voice t
62、echnology enables the change from speech into writing.【答案】27. D 28. B 29. A 30. D【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要内容讲述是目前语音技术已经取得了长足的进步，随着技术的成熟，语音转换文字已经实现。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Another question turning speech into writing raises is the style.

63、n type? Chances are that it would come up with many more short sentences and more concrete language, which is good. It would probably also rely on prepared phrases a lot more often, which is not available when you are speaking quickly.(将语音转化为文字的另一个问题是文体。文字会如何改变人们用口语书写而不是打字?很有可能它会出现更多的短句和更具体的语言，这很好。也
64、可能更多地依赖于准备好的短语，而当你的语速很快时，这就行不通了。)”可知文字中中包含了更多已备好的短语会对按照文体方式把语音转化成文字有帮助，故选D项。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Some minor punctuation marks were added to make it clearer.(添加了一些小标点符号以使其更清晰。)”可知为了达到更好的效果，作者提到了一些修改，添加次要标点符号。故选B项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段“Obviously, the blame is not with the technology at all, which turns o
65、ut to be rather good. Speaking into writing relies on a better human brain than the one we currently possess.(很明显，责任完全不在技术上，事实证明这是相当好的。语音转换文字依赖于一个比我们现在拥有的更好的人脑。)可知语音转换文字过程中的听写问题不是技术造成，而是需要更好的人类大脑，由此可知，作者表明：人类的大脑是造成听写能力差的原因。故选A项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“Voice technology has come a long way. Just a few year
66、s ago, it would have been unusable. But now, those who follow the technology know that it has got considerably better.(语音技术已经取得了长足的进步。就在几年前，它还无法使用。但是现在，那些关注这项技术的人知道它已经变得更好了。)”以及最后一段“With the maturity of modern technology, it has given birth to a great change in the human-computer voice interaction.(
67、随着现代技术的成熟，人机语音交互发生了巨大的变化。)”结合全文内容描述语音转换文字技术的现状可知，本文的主旨是：语音技术如何实现从语音到文字的转变。故选D项。DA Bridge Linking Art and the AudienceAccording to a 2018 report, people aged between 16 and 24 make up about 15 percent of the population but only 10 percent of museum-goers. Similarly, people aged over 35 go half as muc
68、h as you would expect from their population size. We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but havent yet determined how to bridge the gap. Two answers to tackling this challenge lie in telling a greater diversity of art histories and communicating thes
69、e stories in more accessible ways.In 2018, a radio program called Art Matters was started with the aim of discussing art from a pop-culture viewpoint with topics that would engage younger and more diverse audience. It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics
70、. Art history is about storytelling; art content shines when there is an effort to bring audience along for the discussion.More traditional institutions are paying attention. Recently the Getty Museum issued a social-media challenge for people to recreate paintings using items they had at home. User
71、s displayed incredible creativity, and the museum was flooded with submissions. This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing. Since many people feel intimidated and think that theres a base level of understanding required
72、 to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.Another result of the Getty challenge was the exposure given to a diversity of artworks. The famous opera singer Peter Brathwaite, for example, made scores of attractive recreations
73、highlighting centuries of black paintings. His efforts opposed the idea that there were not many historical paintings of black figures. It is extremely important that we do a better job of showing the complex and diverse stories that are represented in art.Social media have offered a platform for pe
74、ople who have not traditionally had a seat at the table. Anyone can recognise a gap in the field and address it. Accounts have gathered tens of thousands of followers. They are the proof that there is hunger to hear these art histories, and these themes work brilliantly for museum programming.But th
75、ere is only so much that can be done without the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within. We need to see a better balance of these stories represented in permanent collections. We also need a much wider diversity of people and interests represented on board. Ensuring that art-and wri
76、ting and talking about art-is able to continue on the rising generation of storytellers, inside and outside of institutions, getting the funding and support they need to paint a brighter picture for the part.31. What challenge is the author trying to tackle?A. People doubt a great diversity of artwo
77、rks.B. Fewer and fewer young people go to museums.C. Art appears too distant from common audience.D. Adult audience has a different understanding of art.32. What does the underlined word “intimidated” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Tired.B. Worried.C. Annoyed.D. Surprised.33. In the authors opinion
78、, the museums and galleries should _.A. make the art history stories accessible in a traditional way.B. change meaningfully for activities like the Getty challenge.C. limit the number of storytellers both in and out of institutions.D. improve the permanent collections by adding famous artworks.34. W
79、e can conclude from the passage that common audience _.A. lacks the channels to understand and talk about art history.B. prefers to view artworks and hear art stories on social media.C. feels satisfied with people and interests represented on board.D. refuses to engage with diverse art topics and ar
80、t history stories.【答案】31. C 32. B 33. B 34. A【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述普通人似乎离艺术很遥远，他们想要参与艺术，但缺乏理解和谈论艺术的渠道，我们需要连接艺术和观众的桥梁。【31题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience but havent yet determined how to bridge the gap.(我们已经意识到艺术和观众之间的脱节，但还没有决定如何
81、消除这一差距。)”可知，作者努力解决的挑战是艺术似乎离普通观众太遥远了。故选C项。【32题详解】词义猜测题。根据划线词后的“think that theres a base level of understanding required to join the conversation, the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.”可知，由于很多人认为参与对话需要基本水平的理解力，Getty博物馆的倡议提醒我们，可以有许多途径来参与其中，由此可推知，很多人
82、感觉担心，参与艺术对话需要基本水平的理解能力，划线词“intimidated”意为“担心的”。故选B项。【33题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“This reaction proves that there is a potential desire for the audience to engage with art topics if the format is appealing.”可知，Getty博物馆的再创作活动证明，如果艺术形式具有吸引力，观众就有潜在的兴趣参与艺术主题；结合最后一段首句“But there is only so much that can be done wit
83、hout the museums and galleries changing meaningfully from within.”可知，但如果博物馆和画廊不从内部进行有意义的改变，我们能做的就只有这么多了。由此可推知，在作者看来，博物馆和画廊应该作出有意义的改变，举办像Getty博物馆那样的再创作活动，才能吸引观众。故选B项。【34题详解】推理判断题。第一段中“We have reached the point of recognising the disconnection between art and the audience”提到“我们已经意识到艺术和观众之间的脱节”；根据第二段中“
84、It offers an accessible pathway to art history with conversations on different topics.(它提供了一条通往艺术史的途径，可以就不同的话题进行对话)”及第三段中“the Getty initiative serves as a reminder that there are many pathways to engaging with it.(Getty博物馆的倡议提醒我们，可以有许多途径来参与其中)”可知，普通观众缺乏理解和谈论艺术史的渠道。故选A项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文
85、后的七个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。People Who Cant CountA recent study has discovered that dyscalculia, the mathematical inability in reading, affects about 5% of children in Britain. There is no simple way of finding out the reason and kids with this learning disability are usually labelled unintelli
86、gent.So what exactly is this learning disability in mathematics? Unlike most people, dyscalculics cannot recognise three or four objects. _35_ For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are. In other words, they have to count them one by one. This is wh
87、ere they are different from others. The majority of us, if shown three or four similar things, can immediately recognise them._36_ They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five. Another problem is not being able to tell which group contains more objects than the other. Experimen
88、ts have proved that dyscalculics have not developed the part of the brain responsible for processing numbers.There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dyscalculics. _37_ If your best friend is always late, he might be suffering from dyscalculia. Dyscalculics cannot keep track of
89、time, and they never know how much time they have spent getting ready and how long it will take them to get to work. In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations._38_ This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of
90、 budget they need for their holiday.On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. Dyscalculic children acquire language at the same time as, if not earlier than,
91、 most children and have no problem learning to read or write. _39_A. Dyscalculics have difficulties in using numbers at all.B. This disability scares children away from learning mathematics.C. They have to go through the routine of counting even a small number of objects.D. It is quite reasonable fo
92、r dyscalculics to solve this kind of specific problem at any time.E. They never know how much they should tip the waiter or theyve got left after a shopping trip.F. We can see that dyscalculia is only a learning disability, not a general indication of intelligence.G. This can account for their diffi
93、culty in reading schedules and remembering the order in which things have happened.【答案】35. C 36. A 37. G 38. E 39. F【解析】【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章对计算障碍患者的特征进行了介绍，并表明这只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的普遍表现。【35题详解】根据后文“For example, they need to count the books on the table before they can say how many there are.”（例如，他们需要数桌子上的书，然后才能
94、说出有多少。）可知，此处是指即使数量很少他们也必须数过才知道，所以选项C（他们必须通过例行的计算，即使是少量的对象。）切合文意。故选C。【36题详解】根据后文“They cannot understand, for instance, why two and three makes five.”（例如，他们无法理解为什么二加三等于五。）可知，此处是指计算障碍患者在计算方面有困难，所以选项A（计算障碍患者在使用数字方面有困难）切合文意。故选A。【37题详解】根据前文“There are also problems with the abstract concept of time for dys
95、calculics.”（对于计算障碍来说，时间的抽象概念也存在问题。）可知，因为时间的抽象概念也存在问题，所以他们阅读日程安排和记住时间的发展顺序有困难。所以选项G（这可以解释为什么他们很难阅读时间表和记住事情发生的顺序。）切合文意。故选G。【38题详解】前文“In addition, research has shown that dyscalculics behave oddly in social situations.”（此外，研究表明，计算障碍患者在社交场合会表现得很奇怪。）对应选项E中的“They never know how much they should tip the wa
96、iter”（他们从来不知道应该给服务员多少小费），后文“This poor ability can explain why they never know how much change they are due or what kind of budget they need for their holiday.”（这种差劲的能力可以解释为什么他们永远不知道他们该付多少零钱，或者他们的假期需要什么样的预算。）与选项E中的“theyve got left after a shopping trip”（他们在购物后剩下多少钱）相对应，所以选项E（他们永远不知道应该给服务员多少小费，也不知道购物后
97、还剩下多少钱。）切合文意。故选E。【39题详解】根据前文“On the other hand, dyscalculics are very good at creative arts. People suffering from dyscalculia can become painters or poets. Dyscalculia does not seem to delay language acquisition. ”（另一方面，计算障碍患者擅长创造性艺术。患有计算障碍的人可以成为画家或诗人。计算障碍似乎不会延迟语言习得。）可知，计算障碍并不意味着智力低下。所以选项F（我们可以看到，计
98、算障碍只是一种学习障碍，而不是智力的普遍表现。）切合文意。故选F。第三部分:书面表达(共两节，32分) 第一节 (共4小题；第40至41题每小题2分，第42题3分，第43题5分，共12分)阅读下面短文，根据短文内容在答题卡相应题号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。Shared Services Need More ImaginationSuppose you need to drill a hole in the wall to hang an item but do not own a power drill. You may regard it as expensive to b
99、uy a power drill and consider renting one. Sharing is the solution. The sharing industry is an emerging, highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.The important idea of the sharing industry is that people might only need an item for a relatively
100、 short period. The private part of shared services has been moving towards this area since the beginning of the 1980s, and then the public part has taken note of the benefits and continued for best practice. The United States and Australia among others have had shared services in government since th
101、e late 1990s.With the rise of the sharing industry, the best-known shared bikes and shared cars have got a lot of public attention. This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly popular among people in many cities.Of course shared services dont need to be limited
102、 to machines. The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy items. For example, in todays casual environment, you dont need a tie unless youre going to a wedding or a job interview. So some companies would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when
103、you needed it. Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. Since visitors dont want to be carrying umbrellas all the way, it would be cheaper and easier to simply borrow an umbrella on one street corner and drop it off on another.Recently organisations that have centralised their IT functions ha
104、ve begun to take a close look at the technology services that their IT departments provide for customers, evaluating where it makes sense to provide technology components. E-mail and scanning (扫描) operations were obvious early candidates. Many organisations are now offering their document-intensive
105、operations as a shared service. There is no doubt that people are calling for the expansion of shared services to more and more areas.40. What is the sharing industry?41. Why does shared transportation receive attention from people?42. Please decide which part is false in the following statement, th
106、en underline it and explain why.* Shared services are getting increasingly popular for their convenience, but there are still calls for expansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines.43. Please provide another example of shared services and explain your reason. (about 40
107、words)【答案】40. The sharing industry is an economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee. 41. Because it offers environmentally-friendly means of transportation to people in cities. 42. Shared services are getting increasingly popular for their convenience, but there
108、 are still calls for expansion to wider areas because they are currently restricted to machines.According to the passage, presently shared services include not only machines but also smaller, less heavy items, such as ties and umbrellas. 43. (1) Sharing books is a good type of shared services. Peopl
109、e can share and read the books they like without pay or with only a little money, so that they will improve their knowledge and enrich their life. Thus I think it is well worth spreading.(2) Sharing platforms is a good type of shared services. For example, resources can be shared there. Another exam
110、ple is that in a community, old people can learn how to use computers and smartphones with the help of it. Thus I think it is well worth spreading.【解析】【分析】【40题详解】考查细节理解。根据第一段最后一句“The sharing industry is an emerging, highly flexible economic network that allows people to share resources, either free
111、or for a fee.”（共享产业是一个新兴的、高度灵活的经济网络，允许人们免费或收费共享资源。）可知，共享产业是一个经济网络，允许人们免费或收费共享资源。故答案为The sharing industry is an economic network that allows people to share resources, either free or for a fee.。【41题详解】考查细节理解。根据第三段第二句“This kind of transportation is so environmentally-friendly that it is increasingly p
112、opular among people in many cities.”（这种交通工具非常环保，在很多城市越来越受欢迎。）可知，因为它为城市里的人们提供了环保的交通工具，所以共享交通受到人们的关注。故答案为Because it offers environmentally-friendly means of transportation to people in cities.。【42题详解】考查推理判断。根据第四段第二句“The real pay-off in shared services probably lies in renting out smaller, less heavy i
113、tems.”（共享服务的真正回报可能在于出租较小、较轻的物品。），第四句“So some companies would let you pick up a tie when you needed it and only when you needed it. ”（因此，一些公司会让你在需要的时候挑选领带，而且只在你需要的时候。）和第五句“Another example is an umbrella-sharing service. ”（另一个例子是雨伞共享服务。）可知，共享服务并不仅仅是局限于机器，因为现在的共享服务不仅包括机器，还包括较小、较轻的物品，如领带和雨伞。所以“because t
114、hey are currently restricted to machines”处错误，应在此处画下划线，原因是现在的共享服务不仅包括机器，还包括较小、较轻的物品，如领带和雨伞。故答案为According to the passage, presently shared services include not only machines but also smaller, less heavy items, such as ties and umbrellas.。【43题详解】考查开放性回答。答题时应先举出文中没有提到的一个共享服务的例子，再解释原因。第二节(20分)44. 假设你是红星中
