But it may not occur to you that one of your competitors is a robot. An artificial intelligence(AI) robot will take part in the 2017 National College Entrance Exam, reported China Daily. “The robot will sit three exams: math, Chinese, and a comprehensive test of liberal arts (文科), which includes history, politics and geography,” Lin Hui, CEO of an AI company in Chengdu. Like the others who take the exam, the robot will have to finish the tests in the given time. But instead of taking exams together with other students, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors(监考人)and a notary(公证人). It is expected to be totally disconnected from the Internet and solve the problems with its AI program.Its believed that Chinese and the test of its liberal arts skills, rather than its math skills, will give the robot its biggest challenges. Questions in math are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects there are some subjective questions that test skills such as reading comprehension and essay writing.The robot aims to be enrolled in one of the first-class Chinese universities in 2017, and then try to get into the more famous universities of Tsinghua or Peking University in 2020.21. The author wrote the passage in order to _. A. lay more burden on Grade 3 students B. inform readers of the explosive news C. introduce the function of the robot D. predict what robots will do in the future22. Whats the main idea of the second paragraph? A. The differences between the robot and other candidates B. The specific information about how the robot will take the exam C. The ideal universities of the robot D. The advantages the robot has23. Which is one of the biggest challenges for the robot candidate? A. Math calculating B. Objective questions C. Liberal arts skills D. Physics questions24. Choose the correct one according to the passage. A. The robot candidate will have its separate proctors B. The robot will participate in Chinese, English, math and science C. The robot is not designed to be admitted to universities D. The robot connected from the Internet will sit for the college entrance examBWe all have found memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. As we draw to the end of an academicallyand socially packed year, the idea of doing the same again is appealing.But after graduation, therell be few occasions when we can enjoy such extended holidays, free to do as we wish. So now that summer has arrived, lets take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling, especially if you avoid the pricey school holiday period.Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while youreeligible. Finding a reliable company that wont cheat you is extremely important, as is discovering a program that appeals to your own interests. There are plenty of websites where you can see other peoples recommendations.Of course for most of us, money is tightbut to avoid overspending you can combine employment and adventure. Hannah Warn, a psychology student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America, an increasingly popular venture where British students enjoy a good time on a summer camp.“Being thrown into something where I dont really know what to expect is exciting.” she says.“It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair. The work may be challenging, but its a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.If you have an idea about the sort of career youd like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years just wont make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.25.The passage implies that .A. students can enjoy beneficial price when travelingB. students who quit school should pay more for travelC. students will be offered part time jobs in the vacationD. students will have a longer summer vacation than ever26.The underlined word “eligible” in the passage means .A. relaxed B. outstanding C. qualified D. standardized27.The author took Hannah Warn as an example to .A. suggest Camp America offers jobs to studentsB. show psychology students are good at planningC. indicate Camp America serves English studentsD. imply students can travel around for nothingC It has become a certain belief among the public-drink at least eight glasses of water a day to improve health and wellbeing. Bottled water companies often repeal it to increase their sales but it is actually a silly idea. There is no evidence to prove the advantages of drinking eight glasses of water a day, scientists say.The misunderstanding is caused from the suggestion that adults should drink 2.5 liters of water daily, which was stressed by the British Medical Journal in December. The important part of the suggestion that most of this quantity of water is contained in prepared foods, however, is usually ignored.US researchers who reviewed the evidence concluded that most people do not need to worry about the amount of water they drink every .day. Besides drinking water, they will be getting plenty of liquid（液体）in other ways. Caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and cola and alcohol（酒）can help reach the daily total if they dont drink too much, though these drinks help the production of urine (尿). Less well known arc the dangers of drinking too much water, causing water poisoning, low salt levels and even death.The review of research by Dan Negoianu, from the University of Pennsylvania, found that not a single study included the suggestion of drinking eight glasses of water a day. Although one small study suggested that drinking water could result in fewer headaches, the results were not very important. However, the benefits of drinking some water to prevent a pain in head after drinking too much alcohol are, separately, proved to be true.No studies showed any advantages to the color of the skin because of the increased water taken into bodies. Dehydration（脱水）can make skin less pleasant, but there was no clear evidence to support the idea that water helps people keep a youthful appearance. The researchers also found no evidence that drinking lots of water does some good to the bodys organs（器官）.28. From the passage, we know that the suggestion about drinking eight glasses of water a day .A. causes some serious diseasesB. has enough scientific evidence to support itC. is misunderstood by people in factD. was published by the British Medical Journal29. From the passage we learn that many people dont know that_ .A. the production of urine can cause water to loseB. health can be improved by drinking plenty of waterC. better skin can result from intake of much waterD. caffeinated drinks can provide the water people need30. What can be proved about drinking a lot of water according to the passage?A. Reducing the bad influence of drinking alcohol.B. Helping to keep youthful looks.C. Making the bodys organs stronger.D. Causing bad headaches.31. The writers main purpose of writing this passage is to .A. persuade people to drink different kinds of waterB. tell people drinking much water is not as healthy as is consideredC. warn people of the danger of drinking much waterD. help people realize the importance of drinking enough water every dayD This time last year I entered two long-distance mass-participation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last.Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldnt deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last. I just couldnt face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.For a few months, I trained hard, but I didnt get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9:30 am, and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone, Meadows (草地）rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.As the day wore on, somehow I didnt mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after Id started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走)out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didnt matter. I was just relieved, proud and happy to finish.As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding(渐渐远去).32. The author intended to quit swimming mainly because _. A. she feared that she couldnt finish the two races B. she was afraid that she would let family members down C. she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing last D. she didnt fully prepared for the two races33. The author hopes to convey the message that _. A. never give up when facing challenges B. it is process that matters most C. failure is the mother of success D. winners always take it all34. What did the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph? A. She took pride in leaving all the other swimmers behind B. She was proud that she was not the last one in the race C. She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of relief D. She was proud to be praised by the organizer35. It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to _. A. participate in another race without any hesitation B. analyze the reason why she failed in the race C. lose confidence completely D. decide whether she is suitable for the race第二节 (共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的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。HowtoPickaGreatBooktoReadTheworldisfullofgreatbooks,justwaitingtoberead.Howcanyoupickoneyoullreallylike?Herearesometips:Whatmakesyouhappy?16 Areyoureallyintodinosaursordogsoraspecificperson?Arethereafewcareersyoureinterestedin?Youcanfindbooksaboutalmostanythingyoulike,andyouremorelikelytoenjoyreadingabookifyourealreadyinterestedinitssubject.Factorfiction?Somebooksareentirelymadeupandimagined.Thosearecalledfictionbooks.Novels,shortstoriesareallexamplesoffiction.Thesebookscantransportyoutoanotherworldorhelpyouimaginesomethingbeyondyourownexperience.
