His net worth has climbed $8.5bn this year to $41.8bn.The latest surge came after Chinas largest ecommerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March, demonstrating how investments in online shopping are paying off.

Alibaba is capturing more digital advertising spending by incorporating (吸收) social elements such as video in its shopping sites.Alibaba is holding meetings with investors this week. On Friday, the former English teacher said he wasnt going to discuss corporate forecasts. He took the stage instead to describe how his company had become effectively the worlds 22nd largest economy just after Argentina in terms of transactions (交易) by never fearing to think big. Mr Ma, who said Alibaba revised 10year plans annually, foresaw the company becoming the fifthlargest eventually by 2036 by serving burgeoning (迅速发展) Chinese middle classes, taking advantage of global trade and making use of its valuable data.Mas comments about the evolution of datadriven technology echoed those of Masayoshi Son, chairman of Japans SoftBank. SoftBank Alibabas largest shareholder has invested billions in companies such as ARM with the intention of staking out a leading position in the future Internet of Things.“The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines drank electricity，” Mr Ma told investors. “In the next 20 years, machines will drink data. In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”语篇解读：本文介绍了阿里巴巴集团股票股价上涨13%，使董事长马云净身家在一天之内增加28亿美元，成为亚洲首富的故事。5The text is intended to tell us that _.AChinas economy is not satisfyingBJack Ma has become Asias richest manConline shopping grows rapidly worldwideDAlibaba is the largest company in the world解析：选B主旨大意题。通览全文可知，本文介绍了阿里巴巴集团股票股价上涨13%，使董事长马云净身家在一天之内增加28亿美元，成为亚洲首富的故事。故选B项。6The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Asudden increase Brapid declineCdead time Duncertainty解析：选A词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Jack Mas net worth increased by $2.8bn overnight”和画线词下文的“Chinas largest ecommerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March”可以推测画线词意为“急剧上升”。7What do we know about Alibaba?AIt is Chinas largest social media company.BIt makes profits mainly from digital advertising.CIt is providing cloud computing services.DIt is new to streaming music and video.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第四段的第一句可知，由于国家经济下滑，阿里巴巴已进军云计算服务领域。8What does Jack Ma stress in the last paragraph?AThe investment of global trade.BThe importance of data.CThe necessity of sharing information.DThe future of the Internet of Things.解析：选B推理判断题。根据最后一段的最后一句“In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”可知，在将来，任何公司的发展和存在都离不开数据，因此他强调了“data”的重要性。CThe concept of intelligent robots, as friends or enemies, dates back to ancient times. Reports of people admiring human likenesses and building humanlike robots date back to the days of ancient Greece and Egypt. AI has also featured prominently in pop culture, for example: the computer HAL 9000 in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and Arnold Schwarzeneggers robot character in The Terminator films.Since the field of AI was officially founded in the mid1950s, people have been predicting the rise of conscious machines. Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil refers to a point in time known as “the_singularity”， when machine intelligence beats human intelligence. Based on the exponential (指数的) growth of technology according to Moores Law (which states that computing processing power doubles approximately every two years), Kurzweil has predicted the singularity will occur by 2045.Nevertheless, a number of prominent science and technology experts have expressed worry that human beings are not doing enough to prepare for the rise of artificial general intelligence, if and when it does occur. Earlier this week, Hawking issued a serious warning about the threat of AI. “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race，” Hawking told the BBC, in response to a question about his new voice recognition system, which uses artificial intelligence to predict intended words. And Hawking isnt alone. Elon Musk told an audience at MIT that AI is humanitys “biggest existential threat”. He also once posted, “We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons.”In March, Musk told CNBC that hed like to “keep an eye on whats going on with artificial intelligence，” adding, “I think theres potentially a dangerous outcome there.” But despite the fears of noticeable technology leaders, the rise of conscious machines known as “strong AI” or “general artificial intelligence” is likely a long way off, many researchers argue. “I dont see any reason to think that as machines become more intelligent . which is not going to happen tomorrow they would want to destroy us or do harm，” said Charlie Ortiz, head of AI at the Burlington. “Lots of work needs to be done before computers are anywhere near that level，” he said.语篇解读：人工智能对人类来说是好还是坏？不同的专家提出不同的观点：人工智能可能意味着人类的终结；人工智能未必会毁灭或伤害人类。9The underlined part “the singularity” in the second paragraph refers to _.Aa point in the historyBthe machine intelligence will go beyond human intelligenceCcomputing processing power doubles every two yearsDthe power of technology will double by 2045解析：选B细节理解题。根据文章第二段第二句“Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil refers to a point in time known as the singularity，when machine intelligence beats human intelligence.”可知，singularity指的是时间(物理学意义上)的一个点，在这个点上，机器智能会击败人类智能。故选B项。10Experts like Hawking worry that _.Aartificial intelligence is approaching in the near futureBartificial intelligence is bound to arise in the near futureChuman beings are not prepared for the coming of AIDhuman beings are the biggest existential threat to AI解析：选C细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“Nevertheless, a number of prominent science and technology experts have expressed worry that human beings are not doing enough to prepare for the rise of artificial general intelli gence, if and when it does occur.”可知，许多享有声望的专家，包括霍金，表达了他们的担忧：人类并未准备好应对人工智能的崛起。因此选C项。11What is the Charlie Ortizs attitude toward AIs threat?ACritical. BTolerant.CDoubtful. DApproving.解析：选C推理判断题。根据最后一段查利说的话“I dont see any reason to think that as machines become more intelligent . they would want to destroy us or do harm”可知，查利的观点是：没有理由认为，当机器变得更加智能时，它们就会毁灭或伤害人类。因此，查利对人工智能会对人类造成潜在威胁是持怀疑态度的。故选C项。12What is the best title of the passage?AAI, Friend or Competitor?BAI, Friendly or Frightening?CAI VS. Human Beings!DAI, Frightening or Worrying?解析：选B标题归纳题。通过文中不同专家对于人工智能的态度可知，有些人担忧人工智能会对人类造成潜在的威胁，而有些人却比较乐观。因此，B项作为文章标题最佳。 DMoutai Thanks the Hit MovieWolf Warrior for Free AdvertisingChinese box office hit Wolf Warrior has received a thankyou letter from the president of China Kweichow Moutai (Group) Distillery Co., Ltd, the countrys most famous brand of liquor, because of the scenes where the hero drank Moutai liquor in the movie.The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the story of a former Chinese Peoples Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.The patriotic (爱国的) emotions have proven popular with audiences.

BAstonished.CRelieved.

If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. _17_ Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. _18_ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listeners eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. _19_ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. _20_ Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.AOn the contrary, it will give him away.BDo you have such kind of experience?CThats what normal eye contact is all about.DActually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.EAfter all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.FBut things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.GIf nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.语篇解读：本文具体介绍了在不同的情况下，不同关系的人之间要做不同的眼神交流。因为我们的眼睛可以清楚地传达出我们的想法，所以说眼睛会说话。16解析：选B该空后面两句话是说在公共汽车上盯着陌生人看的情况。B项意为 “你有过这样的经历吗？”，设空处提出问题，紧接着给出回答，上下文语义连贯。故选B项。17解析：选G根据上一句中的“to see if there is anything wrong with you (去看看是不是自己哪里有问题)”可知，G项“如果没有什么问题，别人用那样的方式盯着你会让你感到恼怒。”符合语境。故选G项。18解析：选F根据设空处后的“If a man stares at a woman . are obvious.”可知，F项“但是如果盯着异性，那就要另当别论了。”起到了承上启下的作用，故选F项。19解析：选C该空上一句主要讲在两个人交谈的时候，要不时地进行眼神交流以确保对方在注意听你说话。C项意为“那就是正常的眼神交流。”，句中That 指代的就是上一句所说内容，语意连贯。故选C项。20解析：选A空前讲的是一个说谎的人错误地认为一直看着对方能够表现出自己的诚实。A项“那样反而出卖了他。”符合语境。故选A项。.完形填空(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。Chris Marlow, a minister and father of two, would say that his life prior to 2009 was good but ordinary.
