【題目】閱讀理解
To me, inspirations mean to put my thoughts, heart, and creations into my jewelry. Sometimes I become so inspired with what I'm working on that I can finish one or more sets in less than an hour. Because of that feeling, I have named my jewelry collection “Inspirations”.
I am a 17-year-old student with sickle-cell anemia. With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot. So I started making jewelry a year ago when I was in the hospital. I really needed something to do, so I was introduced to jewelry making by a child life expert.
One day while lying in my hospital bed, I decided to get up and go to the patient's playroom ,and look through the craft designs. That was when I became inspired to design my jewelry collection, and named it “Inspirations”.
When I'm not sick, I try to keep a positive attitude through reading, schoolwork and craft activities. Even though there is a lot of work, I try to stay focused all the time. When I need a break or just to be free I turn to my craft activities. This is a way to ease my mind and it always helps me to especially get through those stressful times.
I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college. Who knows my collection of “Inspirations” would take me to the places I always dreamed of? I may see celebrities I admire and even sell them some of my beautiful “Inspirations”. If they wear my “Inspirations”, it will be well known and in great demand. What a great way to make some extra money for college! I never thought being sick would bring me “Inspirations”. I want people to look beyond my illness and see the creations I've made in my collection called “Inspirations”.
（1）What does “sickle-cell anemia”refer to?
A.A hospital.
B.An illness.
C.A place.
D.A doctor.
（2）What can we infer from the passage?
A.The writer plans to be a jewelry designer after graduation.
B.The writer wants to be a doctor in the future.
C.The writer will graduate from college next year.
D.The writer is a senior high school student.
（3）What is the best title of the passage?

D.My Illness.

【答案】
（1）B
（2）D
（3）A
【解析】這是一篇記敘性的文章，講述了一位十七歲的學生因為鐮狀細胞性貧血而常常進醫(yī)院，他在這里接觸到了珠寶創(chuàng)作并在其中找到了自己的靈感，即將高中畢業(yè)的他希望通過他的靈感制作的珠寶能為他上大學籌錢。

（1）詞義猜測。根據(jù)劃線詞緊接著的后文“With this, I am in and out of the hospital a lot”：由于這個原因，我常常進出醫(yī)院�？赏茢噙@是一位患病的學生，故選B。

（2）推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段第一句：I am getting very excited about graduating next year and preparing myself for college，我對于明年畢業(yè)為上大學做準備很興奮�？芍髡呙髂晟洗髮W而不是大學畢業(yè)，故C錯誤；作者還未高中畢業(yè)仍是一名高中生，故D正確。作者并未提及畢業(yè)后計劃成為珠寶設(shè)計師，故A錯誤。作者未提及未來想當醫(yī)生，故B錯誤。故選D。

（3）主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章整體內(nèi)容，可知文章主要講了作者因生病而制作珠寶創(chuàng)造靈感的事情，重點是由這場病給他帶來的靈感，B、C、D都是文章的內(nèi)容但是偏離了文章的主題。故選A。

【題目】閱讀理解
You have probably been told by your high school instructor that writing is an important and practical skill. However, you may not be convinced that the ability to write will be important in your own future. If so, you will be surprised at the results of a recent survey by the National Institute of Education. More than four thousand working men and women who had graduated fifteen years earlier were asked to name the courses they would have taken in college if they had known better. The designer of the survey expected people to name courses in computer science, mathematics, or business. But the course most often mentioned was writing.
If you already have a job, you are probably not surprised at their answers. Many jobs require the ability to write. Despite the increasing use of the telephone and the computer, much information must be communicated in writing.Some ten million people—managers, engineers, sales representatives, and many others— write regularly as part of their jobs. Summaries, reports, reports, letters and speeches are required in today's work world. The ability to write, therefore, is an important skill. The successful individual is almost always the one who can communicate successfully in writing.
Writing communicates your thoughts and feelings to others; it also tells you something about yourself. Maybe this is what Eldridge Cleaver had in mind in his autobiography, “I started to write... to save myself...I had to seek out the truth...

C.some people would study business if they had a chance
D.most people consider writing to be an important course
（3）The author suggests thatneed to communicate a lot in writing.
A.mangers
B.engineers
C.sales representatives
D.all of the above

While it's wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience.
1）. Meet new people.
People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach.
2）.Do everything you want and nothing you don't want.
Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won't have to answer anyone.
3）.
If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you'll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.
Great service.

【題目】In 2017, AlphaGo defeated Chinese player Ke Jie to become the world’s No 1, ending thousands of years of human dominance（控制）in the game. AlphaGo is an artificial intelligence（AI）Go-playing program.【1】

Artificial intelligence（AI）is usually defined as the science of marking computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans.【2】These include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language-understanding.

As Charlie Qrtiz said, head of AL at the Massachusetts-based software company Nuance Communication, “It has opened a window for us.”Smartphones, self-driving cars, intelligent robots，etc. are constantly coming into our life. According to a recent survey, half of the world’s AI experts believe human level machine intelligence will be achieved by 2040. This will open up huge possibilities for the enrichment of mankind, from tackling climate change and treating disease to labour- saving devices.

【4】Physicist Stephen Hawking last year warned that unless we take care, board games might be the least of it. “The development of full artificial intelligence could mean the end of the human race.”【5】They believe AlphaGo’s victory is a reminder of how fast the world is overcoming the obstacles in the way of AI, and its distribution in the world about us. Although there may yet be no evidence that computers will ever shake off their human masters, we should still treat these development with the humility and caution they deserve.

A. Other scientists have also expressed the concern.

B. Artificial intelligence has both advantages and disadvantages.

C. Defeating a human Go master is not the only thing AI can do.

D. Artificial intelligence will bring us disasters instead of benefits.

E. It was designed by an American Artificial intelligence company.

F. Not all experts hold the optimistic attitudes to the development of AI.

G. Research in AI has so far focused on some special fields of intelligence.
