12、的线上旅游。11A细节理解题。根据“Louvre Museum in Paris”中“Each trail is based on a selection of works that characterize a period, an artistic movement or a theme, including the artworks from Jay-Z and Beyoncs music video.”可知,每条路径都基于一个时期,一个艺术运动或一个主题的作品选集,包括 Jay-z 和Beyoncs的音乐录影带。所以,路径的选择是基于时期来挑选的。故A项正确。12D细节理解题。根据题干
13、关键词“Fantastic Women”定位到文章“Schirn Museum in Frankfurt”中“It has digitally opened its current exhibition, now closed due to the virus, called Fantastic Women (scheduled from February 13 to May 24), highlighting the works of 34 women artists and their contributions to Surrealism (超现实主义), including Frida
14、 Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, Leonor Fini, Dorothea Tanning and Dora Maar.”可知,它以数码方式开放了目前因病毒而关闭的名为“神奇女人”展览(定于2月13日至5月24日举行),展出了34位女性艺术家的作品,以及她们对超现实主义的贡献,包括弗里达卡罗、利奥诺拉卡林顿、莱昂诺菲尼、多萝西娅坦宁和多拉马尔。由此可知,利奥诺拉卡林顿的作品包含在“神奇女人”展览之中。故D项正确。13B推理判断题。根据最后一段中“ Please get more information at .”可知:请登录.获取更多信息。由此推知,本文来自网站。故B项
15、正确。BAs Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent
16、 study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments.She and her research team wanted to know if the Internet is changing memory.In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would save the informat
17、ion.The second group understood that the computer would not save it.Later, the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember,
18、 and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in a specific computer folder(文件夹)Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location(位置)better than the facts.When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information.Rather, they remember how to find it.
19、This is called “transactive memory”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize large amounts of information so that they are able to
20、find it at a later date.This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.()14.The passage begins with two questions to _.Adescribe how to use the Internet Bintroduce the main topicCshow the authors attitude Dexplain how to
21、 store information()15.What can we learn about the first experiment?ASparrows team typed the information into a computer.BThe two groups remembered the information equally well.CThe second group did not understand the information.DThe first group did not try to remember the information.()16.In trans
22、active memory, people _.Aremember how to find the information Bkeep the information in mindCchange the quantity of information Dorganize information like a computer()17.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research?AWe are becoming more intelligent. BWe have poorer memories than
23、before.CWe are using memory differently. DWe need a better way to get information.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。随着互联网用户越来越依赖互联网来存储信息,人们的记忆力会下降吗?专家们通过研究表明,互联网正在改变我们记忆的内容和方式。14B推理判断题。由第一段“Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.”可知,专家们想知道互联网是否改变了我们所记忆的内容和记忆方式。所以判断出文章以两个问题的形式开头就是要引出文
24、章的主题。故B项正确。15D细节理解题。由第二段“People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.”可知,第一组的人知道他们可以再次找到这些信息,所以他们并没有努力去记住这些信息。所以在第一次实验中我们了解到第一组并没有努力去记住这些信息。故D项正确。16A细节理解题。由倒数第二段可知,当人们使用互联网时,他们不记得这些信息。相反,他们记得如何找到它。这就是所谓的“交互记忆”。所以在“交互记忆”中人们记得如何查找信息。故A项正确。17C
25、推理判断题。由最后一段“This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.”可知,这并不意味着我们变得更聪明了或者更不聪明了。但毫无疑问,我们使用记忆的方式正在发生变化。所以判断出Sparrow研究中表明互联网的影响是它使我们记忆的方式不同了。故C项正确。CEveryones at it, even my neighbors.I thought I might be the only perso

48、时。故填comes。37to read考查不定式。句意:Pepper是第一个读懂人类情感的机器人。名词前面有序数词/形容词最高级修饰,该非谓语动词一般使用不定式结构作后置定语,句中名词“robot”前有序数词“the first”修饰,所以read用不定式结构,故填to read。38Using考查现在分词。句意:利用它的情感识别功能,Pepper可以开玩笑,跳舞,它甚至可以给周围的人唱歌。句子主干“Pepper can make jokes”和动词“use”之间有逗号没有连词,可知“use”和Pepper是逻辑主谓关系,表主动用现在分词形式。故填Using。39surprisingly考查词
49、形转化。句意:Pepper利用它的情感识别功能,可以开玩笑,跳舞,它甚至可以给周围的人唱歌。这里用副词修饰句子,“surprisingly”(令人吃惊地)符合句意,故填surprisingly。40its考查代词。句意:它有四英尺高,胸部有一台平板电脑。分析句子可知,句子的主语“It”指代机器人Pepper,空格后 “chest”(胸部)是名词,这里指机器人的胸部,所以用形容词物主代词来修饰,故填its。41is designed考查被动语态。句意:Pepper被设计成一个家庭机器人,但它不像漫画中的家庭机器人。根据文章可知Pepper是机器人,它和动词“design”(设计)是被动关系,根据
50、but引导的从句时态可知,用一般现在时,故填is designed。42where考查关系副词。句意:Pepper是在家里或商店里使用的,在那里我们享受快乐和娱乐。分析句子可知,定语从句空格处缺少状语,先行词是“ home or stores”在后面的定语从句中作地点状语,故填where。43relaxed考查形容词。句意:它可以鼓励我们,让我们开怀大笑,感到放松。这句中的“feel”(感觉)是感官动词,后面连接形容词,形容词“relaxed”(感到放松的)符合句意,故填relaxed。44at考查介词。句意:几年前,Pepper开始以2000美元 价格出售。固定搭配“at a price o
51、f”(以的价格)符合句意,故填at。45creators考查名词复数。句意:在出售前,创造者希望他们储存更多的信息,以便与人类更好地相处。分析句子可知,句子中的“them”指代那些机器人,可以判断空格处主语应该指人,“creators”(创造者)符合句意,故填creators。第五部分写作(40分)第一节单词拼写(5题,共5分)46I regard _ (创造性) both as a gift and as a skill.47Theyre online in chat rooms, checking e-mail, or writing _ (博客)48I assume that he wo
