参考答案第一部分第一节A【文章大意】本文是一篇应用文,介绍了三种听节日音乐的高科技工具。细节理解题。根据AppleMusic部分中的“ThisisthefirstyearthatyoucanuseAppleMusictolistentoholidaysongs.”可知,这是你可以用苹果音乐听节日歌曲的第一年。由此可知,苹果音乐是一种听节日音乐的新工具,故选A。细节理解题。根据GooglePlayMusic部分中的“GooglePlayMusicisavailableforfree…”可知,谷歌音乐播放器的特殊之处在于它一直都是免费的,故选B。细节理解题。根据TuneInRadio部分中的“Thisisanonlineserviceandoffersstationsfromallsevencontinentsintheworld,includingAntarctica.”可知,TuneInRadio是一个在线收听服务,提供来自世界七大洲(包括南极洲)的电台,故选C。B【文章大意】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者在中国做英语老师的一段经历以及他的感想和领悟。推理判断题。根据第二段“AfriendofminepostedaFacebookstatusaskingifanybodywasinterestedinajobteachingEnglishinChina.SoIjumpedonacomingplane.”可知,“我”的一个朋友在Facebook上发布了一个动态,询问是否有人对在中国教英语的工作感兴趣。“我”(得知后)立马登上了飞机前往中国。再结合第一段中“…Ihavebeenmakingmovementswiththeuniverse…”可知,他在来中国之前是没有稳定工作的。故选A。推理判断题。根据第二段中“Walkingintomyfirstclass,Iwasbombedby16strangechildrenwhocouldn’tunderstandasinglewordoutofmymouth.”可知,上第一堂课时作者发现孩子们无法理解他说出的每一个词,由此可知他面对的处境很艰难。故选A。推理判断题。根据文中第三段“Ibecameafathertosome,anolderbrothertoothers.”以及“Butinbetweenthediscipline,Ihadtomakelearningafunexperience.”可知,作者是一个很体贴,会自我反思的老师。故选D。词义猜测题。根据画线单词所在句子“Iwantmyteachingstobereciprocalbecausetheytaughtmehowtounconditionallyopenmyheartandhowtobeamorelovingandpatientperson.”可知,“我”希望“我”的教导是相互的,因为它们教会了“我”如何无条件地打开“我”的心扉,如何成为一个更加充满爱和有耐心的人。由此可见,从教的这一段经历教会了作者很多,因此作者希望自己的教学工作既帮助了自己也帮助了孩子们,也就是教学相长,画线单词与B项interacted意思上最相近。故选B。C【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了Will走进小学课堂,为孩子们讲授能源可持续发展。细节理解题。根据第一段中“Theybecametheworld’sfirstkidstobe‘taught’byadigitalteacher.”可知,他们成为世界上第一批由智能机器人老师“教”的孩子。由此可知,对于奥克兰的这些小学生们来说,新学期的特殊之处是机器人老师教他们。故选A。细节理解题。根据第三段中“Thistwo-wayinteractionnotonlyhelpsattractthestudents’attention,butalsoallowstheprogram’sdeveloperstomonitortheirengagement,andmakechangesifneeded.”可知,这种双向互动不仅有助于吸引学生的注意力,还可以让程序的开发人员监视学生们的参与度,并在需要时做出更改,由此可得出,其优势在于,必要时可以做出变化。故选D。推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However,regardlessofhowpopularitbecomes,Willisunlikelytoreplacehumaneducatorsanytimesoon.”可知,Ravishankar认为它不会在短期内代替人类教育工作者。故选D。主旨大意题。通读文章可知,从新学年开始,新西兰奥克兰的一些小学生将成为世界上第一批被机器人老师教的孩子。之后文章就此展开,由此可推断出“Theworld’sfirstdigitalteacherappearsinclassrooms”作为本文的标题最合适。故选B。D【文章大意】本文为一篇说明文。本文讲述了即将到来的5G时代给人们的生活带来的影响。推理判断题。根据第一段“Haveyoueverexperiencedsuchanannoyingthingasittooksolongtoopenawebpage?You’rewatchingstopseveryfewminutes…”可知,第一段使用打开网页时间长且卡顿的例子来吸引读者并引出主题。故选D。推理判断题。根据第四段可知,5G使无人驾驶汽车更安全;使医生更精准地获取病人的病情;使VR游戏玩起来更逼真。所有这些都得益于5G传输速度的极大提高。由此可推知,5G将使许多先进技术得到进一步优化。故选C。细节理解题。根据最后一段“Andinordertouse5G,wewillhavetobuynewproductsspeciallydesignedfor5Gthatarecurrentlyexpensive.”可知,为了使用5G,我们需要购买目前价格昂贵并与之配套的新产品。由此可知,早期使用5G的成本要高于4G。故选D。主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章从一个现象引出对5G的讨论,介绍了5G的优势和早期存在的缺陷,并讲述了5G将给人们生活带来的影响。故D项“5G对我们生活的影响”符合文章主要内容。故选D。第二节【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了丝绸之路的发展历史和意义。丝绸之路不仅促进了物资贸易,还传播了知识和观念,同时也为“一带一路”倡议提供了一个合作、均衡发展的平台。前一句提到丝绸之路以中国生产的丝绸命名。空格后提到通过这些路线,中国的丝绸、瓷器、漆器和铁器被运往西方,而辣椒、亚麻、香料、葡萄和石榴进入中国。由此可知,此段说的是丝绸之路上物资的贸易。silk是原词复现。选项E(然而,丝绸只是在这些路线上交易的许多商品之一)符合题意。故选E。后一句中的aswell表示与上文之间是递进关系。选项B意为:(人们去往)古代丝绸之路不仅是为了贸易。B项中的notonly与aswell相关联,且文中They指代B项中的theancientsilkroutes。故选B。空后以Buddhism(佛教)、Confucianism(儒家思想)为例说明丝绸之路带给了人们观念上的交流。选项A(更重要的是,还交流了思想)引出了下一句的话题。故选A。前一句提到资本、技术和人员自由流动(flowedfreely),这和选项C中werewidelyshared意思相关联。故选C。空前一句意为:然而今天,这些地方往往与冲突、危机和挑战联系在一起。选项D中suchstateofaffairs指代上一句中陈述的状况。选项D意为:这种状况不应被允许继续下去。故选D。第二部分第一节【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己对在后院安家的乌鸦的态度从讨厌到怜爱的转变过程,也告诉我们对待小动物要一视同仁。“我”本打算在阳光下度过周末,在户外赏花。但那是在那对令人讨厌的乌鸦到来之前。根据后面的语境可知,作者在乌鸦来之前(before)心情极好,想要舒适地度过周末。根据下文的内容可知,乌鸦在作者家的后院定居下来,即建立了它们的大本营,basecamp意为“大本营”。句意:我们第一次发现这些长着羽毛的敌人是在星期五早上。根据语境可知,此处是指作者第一次发现(discover)乌鸦。根据下文“Theyweregettinglouderandprobably…myneighboursnearlyasmuchasuswiththenoise.IadmitIgotalittle…”可知,乌鸦的叫声很大,穿越街区,travelthrough意为“穿越,穿过”。“我”想它们很快就会安静下来。根据下文“But,no.Theyweregettinglouder…(它们的声音越来越大)”可知,“我”认为它们会安静下来(quietdown),但它们不仅没有,反而声音越来越大。根据本段“…onFridaymorning.Itwasearly,andthesoundthebirdsmade…throughourneighbourhood.”可知,在周五的早上很早的时候,乌鸦很吵的叫声回荡在街区中,这会让人恼火(annoying)。根据上文的语境可知,在早上听到乌鸦那么大的叫声,作者很是恼火,却又无可奈何,有点绝望(desperate)。excited激动的;amazed惊讶的;curious好奇的。根据前一句“…IsawourdogQuatchistaringatsomethingontheground.”可知,作者看到他们的狗Quatchi盯着地上的东西,出于好奇,作者也去一探究竟,explore符合题意。prevent阻止;defend防御;assist协助。根据下文可知,只有当狗用鼻子触碰它的头时,它才走开,由此可知,在狗走近它时,它是一动不动的(still)。cold冷漠的;enthusiastic热情的;friendly友好的。根据常识及语境可知,此处是指狗用鼻子触碰(touch)到它的头时,它才走开。throw扔掉;point指向;connect连接。上文提到狗用鼻子触碰了小乌鸦,所以作者担心小乌鸦的处境,怕狗伤害它而把狗锁(lock)起来。award授予;praise表扬;feed喂食。“我”从未想到小乌鸦会在父母的保护下在地面上玩耍,成长并壮大,也就是获得力量(strength)。pity怜悯;advantage优势;freedom自由。乌鸦来到作者的后院安了家,吵到了他们,作者非常生气。但看到这只小乌鸦,作者就宽恕(forgive)了它们。hate憎恨;respect尊敬;admire钦佩。根据上句可知,作者从来都不怎么喜欢鸟,并且他希望它们选择另一个后院。但根据but可知,作者虽然不怎么喜欢鸟,却因为小乌鸦的可爱,而感激(grateful)大自然能让其近距离观察它。pitiful可怜的;painful痛苦的;careful仔细的。根据语境可知,此处是指看见小乌鸦的经历让作者增强(strengthen)了建立一个美丽后花园的愿望。discourage阻止;ensure确保;prove证明。
