Professor Hawking even went so far as to say that AI may replace humans altogether, __3__ he didn't state exactly a timeline for his forecast. He said:“I fear that AI may replace humans altogether. If people design computer viruses, someone will design AI that improves and copies __4__ (it). This will be a new form of life that outperforms humans.”
During __5__ interview, Professor Hawking also urged more people to take an interest in science, __6__ (say) that there would be “serious consequence” if this didn't happen. He said that a new space programme should __7__ (develop), adding human may have to turn to other suitable planets for habitation __8__ (eventual). He said:“I believe we have reached the point of no return. Our Earth is becoming too small for us, global population is increasing at a __9__ (surprise) rate and we are in danger of self-destructing.”

篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇新聞報(bào)道。文章講述霍金接受采訪時(shí)認(rèn)為人工智能的發(fā)展和崛起對(duì)人類造成威脅因而表示出對(duì)人類未來的擔(dān)憂。霍金宣稱機(jī)器人的進(jìn)化速度可能比人類更快,一旦機(jī)器人達(dá)到能夠自我進(jìn)化的關(guān)鍵階段,我們無法預(yù)測(cè)它們的目標(biāo)是否還與人類相同。
1.where 考查定語從句的引導(dǎo)詞。句中“it will be a ‘new form of life that will perform __2__ (well) than humans’”是一個(gè)定語從句,修飾表示抽象地點(diǎn)的先行詞a level,關(guān)系詞在從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語,所以填關(guān)系副詞where。
2.better 考查副詞的比較級(jí)。根據(jù)“than humans”可知,這里應(yīng)該使用副詞的比較級(jí),所以填better。
3.but 考查連詞。句意:但是,他沒有準(zhǔn)確地說明他所預(yù)測(cè)的時(shí)間線。表示轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,所以填but。
4.itself 考查代詞。句意:如果有人設(shè)計(jì)了電腦病毒,有人就會(huì)設(shè)計(jì)能提高和復(fù)制它自己的人工智能。此處表示“它自己”,所以填itself。
5.the 考查冠詞。特指“這次采訪”,用定冠詞,所以填the。
6.saying 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。Professor Hawking和say之間是主動(dòng)關(guān)系,用現(xiàn)在分詞作狀語,所以填saying。
7.be developed 考查動(dòng)詞的語態(tài)。a new space programme與develop之間是被動(dòng)關(guān)系,應(yīng)用被動(dòng)語態(tài),所以填be developed。
8.eventually 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。修飾整個(gè)句子,應(yīng)用副詞,所以填eventually。
9.surprising 考查詞性轉(zhuǎn)換。句意:地球?qū)τ谖覀儊碚f,太小了,全球人口以一種令人吃驚的速度增長(zhǎng),我們處于一種自我毀滅的危險(xiǎn)中。-ed形容詞修飾人,-ing形容詞修飾物,這里修飾rate,所以填surprising。
10.has expressed 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。This is the first (second ... ) time that是一個(gè)固定句型,主句使用的是一般現(xiàn)在時(shí),后面從句用現(xiàn)在完成時(shí),所以填has expressed。
Ⅳ.短文改錯(cuò)
One day, an old man was returning home after shopping. Suddenly, a bag of waste fell in the sky, nearly hitting him on his head. He was greatly frightening by the unexpected incident. Dropped the things he had bought to the ground, he ran away rapidly. What dangerous it was!
Obviously, the accident caused by a careless neighbour living highly in an apartment. It was that person who was to blame for. Every one of us should behave politely and think more about other. Only when we each behaved properly can our society be changed into a pleasant one.
答案:
One day, an old man was returning home after shopping. Suddenly, a bag of waste fell the sky, nearly hitting him on head. He was greatly by the unexpected incident. the things he had bought to the ground, he ran away rapidly. dangerous it was!
Obviously, the accident caused by a careless neighbour living in an apartment. It was that person who was to blame . Every one of us should behave politely and think more about . Only when we each properly can our society be changed into a pleasant one.
難項(xiàng)分析:
第二處:his→the 考查冠詞?!皠?dòng)詞+sb.+介詞+the+身體部位”為固定用法,此處表示“幾乎擊中了他的頭部”。
第四處:Dropped→Dropping 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。邏輯主語he與drop之間為主動(dòng)關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞。
第九處:other→others 考查代詞。other為形容詞“其他的”;others為代詞,意為“其他人或物”。

Ⅱ.閱讀理解
(2020·廣西柳州市高三上學(xué)期摸底考試)Dr Nancy Roman, born in 1925, who was celebrated as a pioneer for female scientists and had advanced the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope, died on Dec. 25, 2018.
When Nancy Roman asked for permission to take a second algebra (代數(shù)) course in high school, a teacher demanded to know “what lady would take mathematics instead of Latin”. In college, a professor admitted that he often tried to prevent women from majoring in physics but Nancy stuck to it. And after receiving Doctor's degree in astronomy, she found a professional home at NASA (美國(guó)宇航局). In 1959, Dr Roman became the first chief of astronomy at NASA headquarters, a role that made her one of the agency's first female leaders.
Dr Roman spent much of her career helping develop, fund and promote technology that would help scientists see more clearly beyond Earth's atmosphere. But her most well-known work was perhaps leading to design the Hubble Space Telescope, the first major telescope to be sent into space for the purpose of gathering photographs and data from the universe. She was, therefore, named as “the mother of Hubble”.
“She made it possible to get the early telescope up into space to learn what needed to be learned,” said science historian Bob Zimmerman, “and her hard-nosed nature helped get the telescope built.”
The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired, but when it did, its photographs of the universe thrilled the world. “I am glad,” she once told Science, “I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.”
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了美國(guó)天文學(xué)家Nancy Roman傳奇的一生。文章旨在告訴我們堅(jiān)持自己的夢(mèng)想,你一定會(huì)成為你想成為的那個(gè)人!
1.What can we conclude from the teacher's reaction to Nancy Roman's application for taking a second algebra course?
A.The teacher doubted it.
B.The teacher didn't care about it.
C.The teacher accepted it at once.
D.The teacher was strongly against it.
答案:A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句可知在中學(xué)時(shí)當(dāng)Nancy Roman請(qǐng)求批準(zhǔn)再參加代數(shù)課程時(shí),一位老師要求知道“哪個(gè)女士會(huì)選擇數(shù)學(xué)而不是拉丁語?”可推知老師持懷疑的態(tài)度,故選A。
2.What was the most famous achievement of Nancy Roman's work?
A.She was one of the founders of NASA.
B.She proved the black hole really existed.
C.She was the first female astronomer in the world.
D.She led to design the Hubble Space Telescope.
答案:D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第二句“但是她最著名的工作也許是帶領(lǐng)設(shè)計(jì)哈勃空間望遠(yuǎn)鏡,這是第一個(gè)被送入太空的大型望遠(yuǎn)鏡,目的是從宇宙中收集照片和數(shù)據(jù)?!笨芍xD。
3.When did Dr Nancy Roman probably retire?
A.In 1969. B.In 1979.
C.In 1990. D.In 2000.
答案:B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“The telescope did not launch until 1990, a little more than a decade after Dr Roman retired”(這種望遠(yuǎn)鏡直到1990年才發(fā)射升空,在 Roman博士退休后的十多年)可推知選B。
4.What can we learn from Dr Nancy Roman's words in the last paragraph?
A.She was very proud of what she had done for the country.
B.She thought highly of the people who hadn't believed her.
C.She was delighted to have become an astronomer in spite of the prejudice on her.
D.She had hard-nosed nature and never cared about other people's opinions.
答案:C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I ignored the people who told me that I could not be an astronomer.”(我不在乎那些告訴我不能成為天文學(xué)家的人。)可推知選C。
(2020·安徽六校教育研究會(huì)高三第一次素質(zhì)測(cè)試)Dr John Wilkins was a natural philosopher who lived from 1614 until 1672. He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there. Wilkins believed that anything as Earth-like as the moon must have been created by God for living beings, and he was determined to meet them—despite the fact that he was three centuries ahead of his time.
In the 1600s, the scientific understanding of gravity and outer space was limited. Wilkins believed, like many 17th-century scientists, that there was no difference between the atmosphere of Earth and the conditions in space, and that Earth's pull was due to magnetism (磁力). It was only reasonable, then, that Wilkins believed a two-wheeled horse-drawn battle car with wings with enough speed could lift high enough off the ground to break free of Earth's magnetic pull and reach the moon.
Then Wilkins moved on to more pressing issues with his remarkable ability to think of new ideas: How would travelers feed themselves during the journey? He theorized that the main cause of hunger was simply the act of working against gravity, so getting to the moon without being burdened by it would be able to be realized. There was some knowledge at that time about the fact that air gets thinner and colder the higher up you go, but he had a fix for that too, “moistened sponges (濕潤(rùn)的海綿) might help us against its thinness”.
By studying the way in which birds fly, which also happened to be part of the studies that led to planes and rockets centuries later, Wilkins put his theory to the test with the help of a colleague, Robert Hooke. Neither of the two ever recorded their attempts, but it's somewhat safe to say that it didn't work out. Hooke himself may have been the reason he gave up hope, in fact, since he was part of the team that discovered space was a place without oxygen.
篇章導(dǎo)讀:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了約翰·威爾金斯博士是一位自然哲學(xué)家,他瘋狂地想要登上月球,并為此在理論上做了很多準(zhǔn)備。
5.What do we know about Dr John Wilkins?
A.He dreamed of landing on the moon.
B.He wrote about people living on the moon.
C.He urged the public to know more about space.
D.He had a rich knowledge of space in the 1670s.
答案:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“He was crazy about getting to the moon and meeting the people who surely lived there.”可知,Dr John Wilkins夢(mèng)想著登上月球。故選A。
6.Which of the following might Wilkins agree with?
A.The air on the moon is not fit for human beings.
B.People don't need to eat things on the moon.
C.Earth's magnetism can be changed easily.
D.Oxygen doesn't exist in outer space.
答案:B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段第二句話可知,Wilkins認(rèn)為饑餓的原因與重力相反的行為有關(guān),所以他同意人們不需要在不受重力影響的月球上吃東西。故選B。
7.What can be concluded from Paragraphs 2&3?
A.Wilkins had prepared a lot in theory.
B.Wilkins was ready for his moon-landing.
C.Wilkins made a great contribution to philosophy.
D.Wilkins was the greatest natural philosopher in history.
答案:A 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中Wilkins提出的觀點(diǎn)以及第三段轉(zhuǎn)向更緊迫問題的研究可推知,Wilkins在理論上做了很多準(zhǔn)備。故選A。
8.What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.To honor a great scientist.
B.To encourage studies on outer space.
C.To introduce an early attempt of moon-landing.
D.To inform people of the knowledge about the universe.
答案:C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)整篇文章可知,Wilkins對(duì)登月的執(zhí)著和向往以及他對(duì)登月所做的一系列研究和發(fā)現(xiàn),所以作者的目的是通過Wilkins介紹早期的登月嘗試。故選C。
Ⅲ.短文改錯(cuò)
(2020·內(nèi)蒙古自治區(qū)奮斗中學(xué)高三月考)A photo on my desk always takes me back to the moment that I gave a talent show for foreign friend. In the picture, I can be seen delicate performing Erhu. When I introduced myself at English, the audience applauded encourage me. I was no longer nervous. I devoted myself whole heartedly to play. My performance was quite a success. Before the performance, an American was named Amy, who was of my age, sang the song God Is a Girl to me. We even make a deal that we would teach each other my mother tongues.
答案:

My performance was quite a success. the performance, an American named Amy, who was of my age, sang the song God Is a Girl to me. We even a deal that we would teach each other mother tongues.
1.that→when 考查定語從句。此處moment是先行詞,在后面的定語從句中作時(shí)間狀語,故把that改為when。
2.friend→friends 考查名詞。結(jié)合句意可知此處應(yīng)該用名詞復(fù)數(shù)表示外國(guó)的朋友們,故把friend改為friends。
3.delicate→delicately 考查副詞。此處是副詞修飾動(dòng)詞,故把delicate改為delicately。
4.a(chǎn)t→in 考查介詞。此處指用英語自我介紹。固定搭配:in+語言,“用某種語言”,故把a(bǔ)t改為in。
5.a(chǎn)pplauded后加to 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。此處是動(dòng)詞不定式作目的狀語,故在applauded后加to。
6.play→playing 考查固定搭配。固定搭配:devote ... to sth./doing sth.“致力于某事或做某事”,故把play改為playing。
7.Before→After 考查介詞。根據(jù)語境可知,表演結(jié)束后,一個(gè)叫艾米的美國(guó)人給我唱了一首《上帝是女孩》,故把Before改為After。
8.去掉was 考查非謂語動(dòng)詞。句中謂語動(dòng)詞是sang, named是過去分詞作后置定語修飾an American,故把was去掉。
9.make→made 考查動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。結(jié)合上下文時(shí)態(tài)可知這里指過去的事情,所以用一般過去時(shí),故把make改為made。
10.my→our 考查代詞。結(jié)合句意可知,此處指我和艾米兩個(gè)人的母語,故把my改為our。
