30、 Christmas gifts. Kieron, now 21, sent his saliva sample in for analysis. When his results came back, he was stunned to find he had a slew of DNA matches for relatives who had also taken the test. Most were distant connections, but one match was so strong that it was labeled “close family”. His name
31、 was Vincent Ghant. Kieron looked for him on Facebook and soon made a possible connection. “This is going to sound so wild but I think youre my brother,” Kieron wrote on Facebooks Messenger app.“I was given up for adoption in 1997 and it says on my paperwork that my mother has a son with your name a

53、gh moisture has been collected from the fog, a drop rolls off the bumps into the waxy grooves and then into the mouth of the beetle.可知每当有雾时，甲虫就会将身体与风成45度角。当风把雾吹过沙漠时，甲虫背上的每一块突起都收集了水分。当从雾中收集到足够的水分后，一滴水滴从突起处滚到蜡状的凹槽中，然后进入甲虫的口中。由此可知，当沙漠中出现雾时，纳米布甲虫会把身体以一种特殊的方式来收集水分。故选B。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中Scientists are us
54、ing the Namib beetles wing design as a guide for creating their own water-collection surfaces.可知科学家们正以纳米布甲虫的翅膀设计为指导来创造它们自己的集水表面。由此可推知，作者将重点放在纳米布甲虫的一个独特特征上，是为了强调这种甲虫是如何在没有雨的情况下获得水的。故选D。【26题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中It seems that studying this little beetle may lead to a variety of benefits for humans. 可知似乎研究这种
55、小甲虫可能会给人类带来各种好处。结合文章说明了目前有10多亿人生活在缺水的环境中，使水成为最受重视的自然资源之一。科学家们一直在寻找增加这种宝贵资源的途径。文章通过讲述纳米布甲虫可以在沙漠中储存水，科学家从这种甲虫身上得到启发，来发明可以在沙漠中储存水的技术。由此可推知，这篇文章的写作目的是展示人们如何应用大自然的创造来解决全球性的问题。故选C。CEver called a movie theater to find out showtime?

56、o a human being. You probably gave commands to an Automated Speech Recognition (ASR) system. These types of systems are efficient money-saving tools that allow companies to address many customer concerns with minimum human intervention.The technology for such a system has advanced greatly since its
57、appearance in the 1950s. One significant recent achievement is the launching of virtual personal assistants (VPAs) on mobile phones. The most well-known of these is Apples iPhone VPA, Siri. If you tell Siri that you want to schedule lunch with a friend, “she” can set the appointment on your phone in
58、 seconds. The VPA can also hold a basic “conversation” with a sense of humor. However, it can only be set off when the human user speaks certain key phrases or words.While the potential for communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. Some exp
59、erts worry about peoples attachment to these machines and fear that the art of successful human-to-human conversation will be undeveloped in younger generations. They worry that people wont be able to display the right emotion or tone in conversations because they havent been practicing those skills
60、. Others fear that machines will take over functions that were traditionally performed by humans, such as customer service.Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy. When people use certain speech recognition applications, they leave behind an
61、 audio track of their speech. When you ask a VPA for directions, your speech is often sent and saved to a remote server for processing. This digital information may lead to data mining, or the collection of large quantities of personal data.For now, however, the continuing evolution of ASR software
62、is thrilling to behold. Asking for and acquiring information from an automated source has never been easier. Leading companies in the speech recognition world will make human communication with machines as seamless as possible - in other words, just like communicating with another human.27. What can

64、. Movements against using ASR.29. What is the authors attitude towards the future of ASR?A. Worried.B. Doubtful.C. Hopeful.D. Indifferent.30. What is the best title for the text?A. Talking to TechnologyB. The Application of SiriC. The Art of ConversationD. VPAs on Mobile Phones【答案】27. A 28. B 29. C
65、30. A【解析】这是一篇议论文。文章在开头提到了ASR（Automated Speech Recognition） 自动语音识别的概念，进而在下文的论述中提到了该技术在使用中存在的问题和未来的前景。【27题详解】细节理解题。根据题干关键词Apples Siri定位到文章第二段第三句The most well-known of these is Apples iPhone VPA, Siri. 其中最著名的是苹果虚拟助理Siri，根据下一句If you tell Siri that you want to schedule lunch with a friend, “she” can set
66、the appointment on your phone in seconds. 如果你告诉 Siri 你想和朋友一起吃午饭，她可以在几秒钟内在你手机上设置约会时间。由此可得出，Siri对手机使用者的帮助意义。选项A“这是一个很有用的VPA”符合题意。故选A项。【28题详解】主旨大意题。第三段首句为本段的主题句While the potential for communication between a human and a machine may seem exciting, this possibility concerns some people. 虽然人类和机器之间的交流的可能性看
67、起来令人兴奋，但这种可能性使一些人担忧。本段接下来讲的就是一些人机交流出现的问题；第四段第一句：Another concern often associated with the development of new technology is the invasion of privacy. 另一个担忧的问题是与新技术发展相关的对隐私的侵犯。可知，第四段同样解释的是人机交互交流之间的问题。所以两段可以作为同一个话题来讲述，即讲述人机相互交流之间的问题。选项B“ASR的潜在问题”符合题意。故选B项。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句For now, however, the cont
68、inuing evolution of ASR software is thrilling to behold. 然而，眼下 ASR 软件的持续进化令人兴奋。可以看出，尽管上文提到了ASR的使用中存在的问题，但其未来的发展是光明的。由此可知，作者对ASR未来充满希望，选项C符合题意。故选C项。【30题详解】主旨大意题。文章在开头提到了ASR（Automated Speech Recognition） 自动语音识别的概念，进而在下文的论述中提到了该技术在使用中存在的问题和未来的前景。选项A“和技术对话”充分说明了文章的重点，适合作文章题目。故选A项。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据

72、e scale (磅秤). You are more than the number on your jeans and dresses. You are way more than the number of pounds youve gained or lost in whatever amount of time.

Its not about the size of your jeans, but the size of your heart, soul, and spirit.【答案】31. E 32. F 33. B 34. C 35.
75、 G【解析】这是一篇议论文。重量被定义为一个物体或物体所包含的物质的数量。如此多的女孩纠结于与她们身体形象相关的数字，看到如此美丽的女孩们因为一些没有真正意义的数字而沮丧，真是令人悲哀。作者通过本文告诉读者身体健康和心理健康都很重要。【31题详解】根据上文Weight is defined as the quantity of matter contained by a body or object.可知重量被定义为一个物体或物体所包含的物质的数量。由此可知，本句承接上文说明体重不该被定义成什么。上文中defined可对应到E选项中define。故E选项“体重不能定义你的自我价值、抱负或潜力”
76、符合上下文语境，故选E。【32题详解】根据后文Neglecting either your mental or physical health will cause problems for the other.可知忽视身心健康都会给对方带来麻烦。由此可知，本句是在强调要照顾好精神健康。故F选项“照顾好自己也包括你的精神健康”符合上下文语境，故选F。【33题详解】根据后文It harbors all of your thoughts, feelings, characteristics, and ideas. Without it, you wouldnt be you.可知它承载着你所有想法
77、、感受、特征和想法。没有它，你就不是你。由此可知，本句是在说明身体对个人来说的意义是是你特别美丽的殿堂，承载着你所有的想法、感受、特征和想法。故B选项“你的身体是你特别美丽的殿堂”符合上下文语境，故选B。【34题详解】根据上文If you wish to change it in a healthy way, then, by all means, go ahead. With that being said, dont make changes to impress or please someone else.可知如果你想以一种健康的方式改变它，那么，无论如何，去做吧。也就是说，不要为了取
78、悦别人而做出改变。由此可知，上文强调不要为了取悦别人而改变，是强调自己才是唯一能控制自己身体的人。故C选项“你是唯一控制自己身体的人”符合上下文语境，故选C。【35题详解】根据后文You are more than the number on the scale. You are more than the number on your jeans and dresses. You are way more than the number of pounds youve gained or lost in whatever amount of time. So, as hard as it m
79、ay seem sometimes, understand that the number doesnt measure the amount or significance of your contributions to this world.可知你不仅仅是磅秤上的数字。你不仅仅是你的牛仔裤和裙子上的数字。你的体重远远超过你在任何时间里增加或减少的体重。所以，要明白这个数字并不能衡量你对这个世界所做的贡献的数量或重要性，这有时看起来很困难。由此可知，牛仔裤的尺寸并不能定义你，重要的是你的心、灵魂和精神大小。故G选项“重要的不是你牛仔裤的尺寸，而是你的心、灵魂和精神的大小”符合上下文语境，故
80、选G。第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C和 D 四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。“Its time to celebrate!”Hundreds of volunteers who _36_ the search and rescue of Amanda Eller will celebrate at a barbecue _37_ by the “Findaman da” Facebook page.

102、backs of other unused roadside billboards as well.This is not the first time that McDonalds has used tiny structures to help _62_ (struggle) honeybees. In addition to several of the Swedish branches building beehives (蜂巢) on the rooftops of their restaurants, the company sold a fully-functioning bee

The “McHive”_64_(design) by award-winning artist Nicklas Nilsson sold for more than $10,000, all of _65_ was donated to charity. Now, McDonalds has partnered with the same designer in order to produce as many of the “bee
104、hotels” as possible.【答案】56. attaching 57. a 58. has started 59. for 60. Additionally 61. houses 62. struggling 63. smallest 64. designed 65. which【解析】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了麦当劳不再仅仅利用广告牌进行市场推广，同时通过在广告牌的背面贴上“蜜蜂旅馆”的标志，来充分利用广告牌。【56题详解】考查非谓语动词。空白处前by为介词，所以其后要跟动名词。所以用attaching。故填attaching。【57题详解】考查冠词。means“方式，方法”，为可数
105、名词，固定搭配:a means of doing sth.做某事的方法。本句中用到了固定搭配，所以填上冠词a。故填a。【58题详解】考查现在完成时。本句中后半句用了since，根据现在完成时的用法，当时间状语前有since,主句的时态要用现在完成时。因为主语为the restaurant chain为单数，所以空白处填has started。故填has started。【59题详解】考查介词。固定搭配：provide sth for sb.“提供某物给某人”，这里指为给蜜蜂提供居所，所以填for。故填for。【60题详解】考查副词。分析句子可知，本句中逗号以后为主句，所以逗号前的成分为状语，因
106、而要用副词形式。因为位于句首，所以首字母大写。故填Additionally。【61题详解】考查名词复数。根据语境，此处指的是蜜蜂的蜂巢，因为house为可数名词，其前面没有用冠词，所以用复数。故填houses。【62题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这不是麦当劳第一次利用微小的结构来帮助苦苦挣扎的蜜蜂。分析句子可知，本句为复合句，从句为that McDonalds has used tiny structures to help _7_ (struggle) honeybees.句中to help，为不定式做目的状语，honeybees为名词，其前要用形容词，因为从句中已经有了谓语动词use,所以
107、此处要用非谓语动词。结合意思，honeybees和struggle为主动关系，所以要用struggling。故填struggling。【63题详解】考查形容词最高级。根据语境，本句中提到了the worlds世界上的，可知此处要用到最高级，表示“一定范围内最”，故填smallest。【64题详解】考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，本句为带有非限制性定语从句的复合句。主句为The “McHive sold for more than $10,000，所以句中” _9_ (design) by award-winning artist Nicklas Nilsson为定语修饰名词The “McHive
108、”，名词The “McHive”与design为动宾关系，所以design要用过去分词形式。故填designed。【65题详解】考查非限制性定语从句。分析句子可知，本句为复合句，其中主句为The “McHive sold for more than $10,000，所以之后的内容为非限制性定语从句，先行词为more than $10,000,，所以，要用关系代词which。故填which。第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分)第一节 应用文写作(满分15分)66.假定你是李华，你班同学打算本周日去远足。 请你用英语给班里新来的交换生Anna写一封邮件，邀请她到时间一同前往，内容包括：1. 活动时

Martin and his sister Pam were looking at the beautiful old buildings of Cambridge for the
113、day. Pam had a camera with her. She likes taking photos.“Lets have a last photo of you,” said Pam. “Its the last one. I want to finish the film in my camera.”“Oh, all right,” said Martin. He stood in front of the flowers.“Look at me.” Said Pam and took a photo. A man with a big rucksack(背包) and a te
114、nt on his back walked between Pam and Martin.“Oh no,” said Pam. “Now Ive got a picture of that man, not of you, Martin.”The man looked at Pam. He was angry. He went across the road without a word.“That man isnt very nice, is he?” said Martin.“No,” said Pam. The man with the rucksack on his back went
115、 into the bus station. He had got sunglasses and a blue hat.“Come on,” said Martin. “Lets find our bus.”They went into the bus station. “Look,” said Martin. “Theres that man again. Hes getting into that bus. Hes going to Aberdeen. Thats in Scotland.”“Good,” said Pam. “Far from here and far from me!”
116、Three days later, Pam had got her photos from the shop. “Look at these photos of us in Cambridge,” she said to Martin. “They are all very good but this last one. Look, its that man with the rucksack.”“Wait a minute,” said Martin. “I know that face. Its in the newspaper. Have you got it?”“Todays news
117、paper?” said Pam. “Yes, its here. Why?”“Yes, here he is. Look at this picture,” said Martin.Pam looked at the picture in the newspaper. “Whos that?” she asked.“It says in the paper that his name is Alan Rook,” said Martin. “And he works in a bank in London. But on Monday morning - no Alan Rook! The
118、people at the bank dont know where he is. And they say hes got a hundred thousand pounds with him. The police are looking for him, too.”“Come on,” said Martin. “Lets take the photo and the newspaper to the police.”注意:1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出
119、你所使用的关键词语。Paragraph 1: At the police station Pam and Martin met a policeman._Paragraph 2: The next day the police in Aberdeen found Alan Rook in a tent in the mountains near Aberdeen._【答案】At the police station Pam and Martin met a policeman. They put Pams photo and the newspaper on the table and the
120、y told their story. “Thats Alan Rook,” said the policeman. “The big question is - where is he now?” Pam and Martin told the policeman about the man and the bus to Aberdeen. “Hes got a rucksack and a tent on his back in the photo,” said the policeman. “He isnt living in a hotel. He is camping. If wer
121、e lucky, hes still in Scotland. I must make a telephone call.”The next day the police in Aberdeen found Alan Rook in a tent in the mountains near Aberdeen. The money from the bank was in his rucksack. The next morning Pam and Martins story was in all the newspapers. There was Pams photo of Alan Rook
122、 at the bus station. There was a picture of Martin and Pam, too. In the newspaper it said, Camera Girl Gets Photo of Rook. Police in Aberdeen Find Bank Money.【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，Martin和他的妹妹Pam在拍照片时，无意中拍到一个背着背包和帐篷的人，拿到照片后，两人认出了这个人就是警察在寻找的一名银行职员，他拿走了银行很多钱。于是两人决定带着照片和报纸去找警察。续写部分分为两段，第一段开
123、头是：在警察局Pam和Martin遇到了一名警察。所以本段应该写到警察局后发生的事情，即Pam和Martin告诉警察事情的经过，比如在哪里遇到这个人，他去过什么地方、有什么特征等。第二段开头是：第二天Aberdeen的警察在Aberdeen附近的一座山上的帐篷里发现了Alan Rook。本段应该是找到Alan Rook之后发生的事情，警察找到他带走的钱，并把Pam和Martin的故事登在报纸上，并附上了他们的照片，表扬他们帮助警察追回银行丢失的钱。续写时要求使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语增加了写作难度，我们要熟悉所给划线词语，恰当的时候加以运用。最后还要注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右；续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。按要求完成写作任务。【点睛】本文描写详略得当，思路清晰，语言规范，段落整齐，语篇连贯，层次清晰。使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：puton，tellabout等高级词汇； If引导的条件状语从句If were lucky, hes still in Scotland. there be 句型 There was a picture of Martin and Pam, too.高级句式的应用提升了写作的档次，整个短文显示出了作者高水平的英语表达能力。
