M: Well, it won’t be hot like our normal vacations to the Bahamas or Cabo San Lucas. Since it’s going to be cold in the Swiss Alps, you will have many clothes on. No one will know if you wear the same thing twice.
W: I understand that. I’m just making sure I bring the warmest clothes so I won’t be cold. You should do the same thing. Warm clothes are always larger than you think and they may not fit in your bag.
M: What should I do then?
W: You should pack now to see if you have enough room.
M: If I don’t have enough room for everything, I will just wear all my jackets onto the plane.

18. What is the main idea of the talk?
A. Ways to save the planet.
B. New rules around electric cars.
C. The production of plastic bottles.
19. When will the production of petrol cars stop?

20. What does the speaker suggest as alternatives to current plastic bottles?
A. Glass bottles. B. Metal bottles. C. Wood bottles.
【答案】18. A 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【原文】We stand at a great moment in our history. We have for a long time known of the dangers of global warming, but sadly little action has been taken to respond to it. However, we have listened to our children campaigning all across the world, and we have chosen to listen to them, and make hard choices. We have set a date of 2025 for petrol-based cars to stop production. That gives producers four years to complete the change from polluting vehicles to electric cars which are clean. In addition, our governments will bring in a vehicle exchange system. It will allow drivers to trade in their car for an electric model at no additional cost. We see this as an urgent action that needs to be taken. We cannot put profits ahead of the health of our planet. For too long, the industries that pollute the most have dragged their heels. Well no more! In addition, we will also be banning all plastic bottles by 2030. Unless producers can find a way to make plastic break down, we would suggest a return to glass bottles. They can easily be reused and recycled with no harm to the environment. Plastic has invaded our food supply, and we need to remove it urgently before it destroys our planet’s ecosystem.

Monarch butterflies migrate (遷徙) by the millions each year, making the trip from northern areas of the Continent to California and Mexico and back.
As monarch butterflies are a threatened species with their population numbers in decline, Patrick Guerra, an assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati, and his colleagues wanted to see what types of environmental stress might be linked to their decline.
“We use monarch butterflies as a model system to understand long-distance animal migration. Our goal was to understand how environmental stress, such as different types of stress caused by urbanization, impacts animal migratory phenomena,” Guerra says.
For their study, researchers conducted lab studies where they reproduced the effects of artificial light pollution with butterflies using a flight simulator (模擬器).
Butterflies stayed quiet and unmoving when they were first placed in the flight simulator in the dark. But as soon as scientists turned on the light, they started flying. The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.
The study has found that the internal circadian clock of butterflies functions normally when they are exposed to natural day: night lighting cycles, but artificial light, such as a streetlight, at night can throw off a monarch butterfly’s internal compass. It can affect their circadian rhythms (晝夜節(jié)奏), which can make the monarch butterflies get lost when they try to fly the next day. This shows without darkness, the circadian clock of butterflies cannot function properly.
“When exposed to artificial light, the light can perturb the normal functioning of the animal’s circadian clock,” Guerra says. “Light pollution, particularly nighttime light pollution, causes animals to experience light at a time when they are not supposed to, e.g., at night when they are normally in the dark, and are at rest. Exposure to such light can prevent the behavior and microbiological of animals which they rely on or that are regulated by the circadian clock.”
Actually, streetlights and other artificial night lights can do more than mess up the insects’ wake/sleep cycle and migration.
24. Why did the researchers carry out the study?
A. To look for the reason for butterflies’ migration.
B. To test what action should be taken to protect butterflies.
C. To know about the circadian rhythms of migratory animals.
D. To find out how the environmental stress affects animal migration.
25. What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment?
A. Natural light contributes much to pollution. B. Migratory animals often lose their way.
C. Light pollution is increasingly serious. D. Darkness is vital to migratory animals.
26. What does the underlined word “perturb” in Paragraph 7 probably mean?
A. Stop. B. Disturb. C. Reflect. D. Enhance.
27. What might be talked about in the following paragraph?
A. Other impacts of night light. B. Butterflies’ circadian cycle.
C. The importance of natural light. D. The way to reduce air pollution.
【答案】24. D 25. D 26. B 27. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了人們對(duì)帝王蝶進(jìn)行的一項(xiàng)研究,研究表明光污染對(duì)蝴蝶的遷徙有影響,進(jìn)而影響了整個(gè)種群的數(shù)量。
【24題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段““We use monarch butterflies as a model system to understand long-distance animal migration. Our goal was to understand how environmental stress, such as different types of stress caused by urbanization, impacts animal migratory phenomena,” Guerra says.(“我們用帝王蝶作為模型系統(tǒng)來了解動(dòng)物的長距離遷徙。我們的目標(biāo)是了解環(huán)境壓力,比如城市化造成的不同類型的壓力,是如何影響動(dòng)物遷徙現(xiàn)象的,”Guerra說)”可知,研究人員的試驗(yàn)?zāi)康氖窍肓私猸h(huán)境壓力是如何影響動(dòng)物遷徙的。故選D。
【25題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第四段“The light made them believe that night was day and this can cause them to fly longer at night or start flying too early.(燈光讓它們相信夜晚就是白天,這導(dǎo)致它們?cè)谝归g飛行的時(shí)間更長,或開始過早地飛行)”可知,晚上的燈光會(huì)讓蝴蝶以為是白天,從而影響其體內(nèi)的生物鐘;再結(jié)合倒數(shù)第三段“It can affect their circadian rhythms (晝夜節(jié)奏), which can make the monarch butterflies get lost when they try to fly the next day. This shows without darkness, the circadian clock of butterflies cannot function properly.(它會(huì)影響它們的晝夜節(jié)律,這可能會(huì)讓黑脈金斑蝶在第二天試圖飛行時(shí)迷路。這表明,如果沒有黑暗,蝴蝶的生物鐘就無法正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn))”可知,沒有黑暗,蝴蝶的生物鐘無法正常運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)。從而推斷,黑暗對(duì)遷徙的動(dòng)物至關(guān)重要。故選D。
【26題詳解】
詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)劃線詞后文“Light pollution, particularly nighttime light pollution, causes animals to experience light at a time when they are not supposed to, e.g., at night when they are normally in the dark, and are at rest. Exposure to such light can prevent the behavior and microbiological of animals which they rely on or that are regulated by the circadian clock.(光污染,特別是夜間光污染,使動(dòng)物在它們本不應(yīng)該感受到光的時(shí)候感受到光,例如,在夜間它們通常處于黑暗中,處于休息狀態(tài)。暴露在這樣的光下可以阻止動(dòng)物的行為和微生物,這些行為和微生物是它們所依賴的或受生物鐘調(diào)節(jié)的)”可知,晚上的燈光會(huì)打亂動(dòng)物的晝夜節(jié)奏。所以perturb為“打亂”之意,與disturb同義。故選B。
【27題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段“Actually, streetlights and other artificial night lights can do more than mess up the insects’ wake/sleep cycle and migration.( 事實(shí)上,街燈和其他人造夜燈不僅擾亂了昆蟲的覺醒/睡眠周期和遷徙)”可推斷,接下來會(huì)介紹這些燈光對(duì)蝴蝶產(chǎn)生的其他影響。故選A。
C
It’s likely that you don’t think you have invited a spy into your home when setting up a new TV. But new Samsung, LG and Vizio smart TVs can record and share everything that is viewed, whether it’s a broadcast or something streaming from the Internet. And some smart TVs can even track what DVD you’re watching.
Your viewing habits are valuable information for marketers who might want to use the information to introduce new shows or add extra content about some products to the shows you are already watching. The ads are primarily pop-ups like the ones you see on your computer.
You might not realize that you allowed that data collection when you agreed to the long privacy policy during setup; with Samsung, it is 47 screens of text. LG and Vizio also ask you to sign away your privacy in thousands of words in fine print.
When Consumer Reports sent an email to the manufacturers to ask how they are using the technology, representatives for Samsung and Vizio didn’t make any comment. An LG representative said that the company isn’t using any data to send personalized ads and has no plans to do so. But Consumer Reports said that could change at any time.
You might think, “Well, why don’t I just turn those marketing features off?” It’s not always so easy. To stop manufacturers' tracking, you have to fight your way through menu settings. On an LG set, go to “settings”, then “options”, then “Live plus”, click “off”, and then close. With Vizio, it’s a voyage through three menus to turn off the box “Smart Interactivity”. With Samsung, it’s a similar trip to find the box “SyncPlus and Marketing” to disable it.
Consumer Reports said that disabling the marketing feature may cause you to lose offers of extra scenes which are related to the shows you’re watching. But maybe that's a small price to pay for knowing that what you’re watching remains private.
28. What might the marketers use your viewing habits to do?
A. To improve the quality of smart TVs.
B. To collect some suggestions about shows.
C. To recommend shows or advertise products.
D. To build a strong relationship between produces and customers.
29. How does Consumer Reports find the comment made by an LG representative?
A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Reasonable. D. Approving.
30. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 5?
A. How we learn to use TVs’ settings. B. How we can become wise customers.
C. How we send personal information to others. D. How we stop our viewing from being tracked.
31. Which of the following does the author probably agree with?
A. It’s worthwhile to turn marketing features off.
B. People should keep their watching habits a secret.
C. TVs’ marketing features should be further developed.
D. TV producers should apologize to customers for their misbehavior.
【答案】28. C 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了新款的三星、LG和Vizio智能電視可以記錄和分享觀看的所有內(nèi)容,無論是廣播節(jié)目還是互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上的流媒體內(nèi)容。一些智能電視甚至可以跟蹤你正在看的DVD。文章說明了用戶觀看習(xí)慣對(duì)營銷人員的作用,以及如何關(guān)閉營銷功能。
【28題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段“Your viewing habits are valuable information for marketers who might want to use the information to introduce new shows or add extra content about some products to the shows you are already watching. The ads are primarily pop-ups like the ones you see on your computer.(你的觀看習(xí)慣對(duì)于營銷人員來說是很有價(jià)值的信息,他們可能想要利用這些信息來介紹新的節(jié)目,或者在你已經(jīng)在觀看的節(jié)目中添加關(guān)于某些產(chǎn)品的額外內(nèi)容。這些廣告主要是彈出式廣告,就像你在電腦上看到的那樣)”可知,營銷人員會(huì)利用你的觀看習(xí)慣推薦節(jié)目或宣傳產(chǎn)品。故選C。
【29題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段“When Consumer Reports sent an email to the manufacturers to ask how they are using the technology, representatives for Samsung and Vizio didn’t make any comment. An LG representative said that the company isn’t using any data to send personalized ads and has no plans to do so. But Consumer Reports said that could change at any time. (當(dāng)《消費(fèi)者報(bào)告》向制造商發(fā)送電子郵件詢問他們?nèi)绾问褂眠@項(xiàng)技術(shù)時(shí),三星和Vizio的代表沒有發(fā)表任何評(píng)論。LG的一位代表說,公司沒有使用任何數(shù)據(jù)發(fā)送個(gè)性化廣告,也沒有這樣做的計(jì)劃。但《消費(fèi)者報(bào)告》表示,這種情況隨時(shí)可能改變)”可知,《消費(fèi)者報(bào)告》對(duì)LG代表的評(píng)論表示懷疑。故選B。
【30題詳解】
主旨大意題。根據(jù)第五段“You might think, “Well, why don’t I just turn those marketing features off?” It's not always so easy. To stop manufacturers' tracking, you have to fight your way through menu settings. On an LG set, go to “settings”, then “options”, then “Live plus”, click "off”, and then close. With Vizio, it’s a voyage through three menus to turn off the box “Smart Interactivity”. With Samsung, it’s a similar trip to find the box “SyncPlus and Marketing” to disable it.(你可能會(huì)想,“為什么我不把那些營銷功能關(guān)掉呢?”這并不總是那么容易。為了阻止制造商的跟蹤,你必須通過菜單設(shè)置來爭(zhēng)取。在LG手機(jī)上,點(diǎn)擊“設(shè)置”,然后是“選項(xiàng)”,然后是“Live plus”,點(diǎn)擊“關(guān)閉”,然后關(guān)閉。Vizio通過三個(gè)菜單來關(guān)閉“智能交互”功能。對(duì)三星來說,要找到“SyncPlus and Marketing”的盒子來禁用它也需要類似的過程)”可知,第五段的主要思想是我們?nèi)绾巫柚刮覀兊挠^看被跟蹤。故選D。
31題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段“Consumer Reports said that disabling the marketing feature may cause you to lose offers of extra scenes which are related to the shows you’re watching. But maybe that's a small price to pay for knowing that what you’re watching remains private.(《消費(fèi)者報(bào)告》表示,禁用該營銷功能可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致你失去與你正在觀看的節(jié)目相關(guān)的額外場(chǎng)景。但也許這是一個(gè)小小的代價(jià),因?yàn)槟阒滥闼吹降娜匀皇请[私)”可知,A選項(xiàng)“關(guān)掉營銷功能是值得的”作者會(huì)同意。故選A。
D
The words “caring” and “empathetic”(共情的) aren’t ones normally associated with technology. Yearsley, an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence (AI), is trying to change that.
Yearsley is the founder of Akin, a robotics startup that currently uses a tablet-based system to help users manage the tasks related to homelife, whether that’s planning meals or reminding you to pay your cell phone bill. Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate (操控) buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.
In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends. “It’s the hardest AI I have ever built for it’s a complex system, Yearsley says.
Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017,when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored.Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work. A United Nations report estimates that women do 2.6 times the amount of unpaid care and domestic work that men do,or close to 30 hours per week in the U.S. alone.
Meanwhile, Yearsley, who has a special-needs child and a relative with disability says it makes sense to focus on the disability field because of the extra in-home needs of users and their caregivers. “We have a lot more work load,”she says.“Are we giving time back to caregivers?I am not going to rest until I give you back 10 hours a week.”
While Yearsley pictures an army of robots someday helping with routine homemade tasks, the first display for Akin will take time and money.Akin has received some early seed from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.
32. What might the Akin’s Al system suggest?
A. Consuming more drinks to enjoy yourself.
B. Staying up late working to make more money
C. Spending more time staying with your family
D. Purchasing products similar to what you bought.
33. Which is a contributor to Yearsley’s Al system?
A. Lots of financial support from investors

C. Thoughtful and innovative. D. Mature and friendly.
35. What’s the purpose of the text?
A. To call on people to help the disabled. B. To raise money for a tech giant.
C. To compare two companies’ AI systems. D. To introduce a futuristic AI system.

【導(dǎo)語】這是一篇新聞報(bào)道。機(jī)器人初創(chuàng)公司Akin的創(chuàng)始人Yearsley正在開發(fā)的人工智能系統(tǒng),將給用戶帶來體貼、人性化的家庭管理服務(wù),讓“關(guān)心”和“移情”不再與技術(shù)無關(guān)。
【32題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends.( 相比之下,她正在開發(fā)的人工智能將被設(shè)計(jì)為管理人類的家庭,鼓勵(lì)健康的決定,比如晚上散步,給冰箱加滿食物,支持與朋友共進(jìn)午餐或慶祝生日等社交互動(dòng)。)”,可知Akin的人工智能系統(tǒng)支持社交等這樣的健康的決定,C項(xiàng)“與家人一起度過更多時(shí)間”與題意相符。故選C項(xiàng)。
【33題詳解】
細(xì)節(jié)理解體。根據(jù)第四段第一句“Yearsley began developing the Akin technology in 2017,when she realized the need to better manage the home is hugely ignored.( Yearsley在2017年開始開發(fā)Akin技術(shù),當(dāng)時(shí)她意識(shí)到更好地管理家庭的需求被嚴(yán)重忽視。)”,第二句“Besides, she realized that women unequally bear the burden of household work.(此外,她意識(shí)到女性承擔(dān)家務(wù)的負(fù)擔(dān)是不平等的。)”和第五段第一句“Meanwhile, Yearsley, who has a special-needs child and a relative with disability says it makes sense to focus on the disability field because of the extra in-home needs of users and their caregivers. (與此同時(shí),Yearsley(她有一個(gè)有特殊需求的孩子和一個(gè)有殘疾的親戚)說,關(guān)注殘疾領(lǐng)域是有意義的,因?yàn)橛脩艉退麄兊恼疹櫿哂蓄~外的家庭需求。)”可知,Yearsley的AI系統(tǒng)研發(fā)的因素之一就是家庭主婦和照顧者的沉重負(fù)擔(dān)。故選D項(xiàng)。
【34題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段“The words “caring” and “empathetic” aren’t ones normally associated with technology. Yearsley, an Australian enterpriser who is expert in artificial intelligence (AI), is trying to change that.( “關(guān)心”和“移情””這兩個(gè)詞通常與技術(shù)無關(guān)。澳大利亞企業(yè)家耶爾斯利是人工智能(AI)領(lǐng)域的專家,他正試圖改變這種狀況。)”,第二段第二句“Current home devices made by Google or Amazon or Apple use predictive AI to track patterns, strengthen behaviors and manipulate buying decisions, some of which, she assumes, are questionable or just unhealthy.(目前由谷歌、亞馬遜或蘋果生產(chǎn)的家用設(shè)備使用預(yù)測(cè)性人工智能來跟蹤模式、強(qiáng)化行為并操控購買決策。其中有一些,她認(rèn)為,是有問題的或者不健康的。)”和“In contrast, the AI that she is developing will be designed to run the human home, encouraging healthful decisions such as taking a nightly walk, refilling the fridge and supporting social interactions like lunches or birthday celebrations with friends. (相比之下,她正在開發(fā)的人工智能將被設(shè)計(jì)為管理人類的家庭,鼓勵(lì)健康的決定,比如晚上散步,給冰箱加滿食物,支持與朋友共進(jìn)午餐或慶祝生日等社交互動(dòng)。)”可知,Akin公司的人工智能系統(tǒng)是考慮周到的且新穎的。故選C項(xiàng)。
【35題詳解】
推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Akin has received some early seed from a handful of investors, and was recently selected as a finalist for tech giant LG Nova’s Mission for the Future program, an annual challenge that seeks to identify businesses having potential to improve life and lead society into the future.( Akin已經(jīng)從一些投資者那里獲得了一些早期種子資金,最近還入選了科技巨頭LG Nova的“未來使命”項(xiàng)目的決賽名單,該項(xiàng)目是一個(gè)年度挑戰(zhàn),旨在尋找有潛力改善生活、引領(lǐng)社會(huì)走向未來的企業(yè)。)”,結(jié)合全文,可知,本文的目的是介紹Akin公司的一套未來人工智能系統(tǒng)。故選D項(xiàng)。

___38___ In youth, our friendships are increasingly important in providing us with emotional support.

A Teacher-Student Football Friendly
Last Sunday our school organised a friendly football match between students and teachers, in an effort to enrich students’ school life.
Bathed in sunshine, players from Grade 3 competed against their teachers in the field, with all the rest students watching excitedly in the bleachers. Both teams were playing at their best in high spirits. Although the teachers dominated the game at first, the students did not give up and tried to intercept every pass from their op-ponents. The match was filled with great dynamics and interesting plays, ending in a draw of 2: 2.
The exciting game not only helped relieve the students’ intense pressure caused by heavy workload, but also strengthened their relationship with the teachers.

A Change of Heart
It was a cold December and things were tough for my family. Mum had a hard time raising us kids on her own in our small community of New Westminster as dad passed away five years earlier. We relied on social assistance.
Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would place a new piece of cardboard in our shoes because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have French toast ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those days, and it didn’t look like we’d be in our current house much longer. Rent was $25 a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas on the first of January.
The holidays were fast approaching, and we were entitled to $25 for Christmas from social services. Mum said that instead of buying food, she was going to use the money to pay our rent. That way we’d have a roof over our heads for a little while longer. Then she told us that there would be no Christmas gifts.
Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, shoveling (鏟) snow and doing odd jobs to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch, Top-Genuine, Pierre Paris boots, and they cost $23.
The big day for getting my boots came on Christmas Eve afternoon. I was very excited as I hurried up the road to catch the bus into town. It was only a half-mile walk, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized that at our house, we had no lights, no decorations and no turkey or ham for Christmas dinner.
注意:1. 續(xù)寫詞數(shù)應(yīng)為150詞左右;2. 續(xù)寫部分分為兩段,每段的開頭語已為你寫好。

【答案】One possible version:
Para. 1:
As I continued walking, I began to feel a strange sense of guilt. Here I was going to buy a new pair of boots, while Mum was probably home in tears, thinking of ways to explain why there were no presents. How was I supposed to be happy if everyone else in the family was not? Thinking of this, the idea of buying the beautiful boots I had wanted for so long didn’t seem as fascinating as before. As I arrived at the bus stop, the driver opened the door, waiting for me to get on. I stood there for what seemed like a century, until eventually the driver asked, “Son, are you getting on this bus or not?” I finally burst out without hesitation, “No thanks, sir. I’ve changed my mind.”
Para. 2:
The bus drove off without me, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Feeling as if a weight had been lifted off my shoulders, I knew what I had to do next. Across the street from the bus stop was a big grocery store. Into the store I went, brimming with happiness and excitement. I bought a turkey, ham, oranges and all the Christmas decorations. I spent every coin of my hard-earned money. Once I arrived home with all those purchases, I knocked on the door. I could hardly wait to see my mother’s face! When Mum opened the door, some of the groceries fell inside onto the floor, and she just stood there, too stunned to speak. Holding back the tears, I exclaimed, “Merry Christmas, Mother! There really is a Santa Claus!” To see my mother’s prayers answered more than made up for the boots I never got. It was a Merry Christmas for us after all!
