阅读篇一
Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage
Professor Stephen Hawking has warned that the creation of powerful artificial intelligence (AI) will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity”, and praised the creation of an academic institute dedicated to researching the future of intelligence as “crucial to the future of our civilization and our species.”
Hawking was speaking at the opening of the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (LCFI) at Cambridge University, a multi-disciplinary institute that will attempt to tackle some of the open-ended questions raised by the rapid pace of development in AI research. “We spend a great deal of time studying history,” Hawking said, “which, let’s face it, is mostly the history of stupidity. So it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence.”
While the world-renowned physicist has often been cautious about AI, raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence with a will of its own, he was also quick to highlight the positives that AI research can bring. “The potential benefits of creating intelligence are huge,” he said. “We cannot predict what we might achieve when our own minds are amplified by AI. Perhaps with the tools of this new technological revolution, we will be able to undo some of the damage done to the natural world by the last one – industrialization. And surely we will aim to finally eradicate disease and poverty. And every aspect of our lives will be transformed. In short, success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilization.”
Huw Price, the centre’s academic director and the Bertrand Russell professor of philosophy at Cambridge University, where Hawking is also an academic, said that the centre came about partially as a result of the university’s Centre for Existential Risk. That institute examined a wider range of potential problems or humanity, while the LCFI has a narrow focus.
AI pioneer Margaret Boden, professor of cognitive science at the University of Sussex, praised the progress of such discussions. As recently as 2009, she said, the topic wasn’t taken seriously, even among AI researchers. “AI is hugely exciting,” she said, “but it has limitations, which present grace dangers given uncritical use.”
The academic community is not alone in warning about the potential dangers of AI as well as the potential benefits. A number of pioneers from the technology industry, most famously the entrepreneur Elon Musk, have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI could do to humanity.
46. What did Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence?
A) It would be vital to the progress of human civilization.
B) It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.
C) It might present challenges as well as opportunities.
D) It would be a significant expansion of human intelligence.
46. B. It might be a blessing or a disaster in the making.
【定位】根据题干Stephen Hawking think of artificial intelligence定位到第一段第一句
【解析】“either the best, or the worst thing…”，要么是最好的，要么是最坏的，与选项B对应。选项A不是本文主旨所在。选项C偷换逻辑，文中是说人工智能可能有益也可能有害，不是在说机遇与挑战并存。选项D在原文并未直接提及，也与主旨无关。
47. What did Hawking say about the creation of the LCFI?
A) It would accelerate the process of AI research.
B) It would mark a step forward in the AI industry.
C) It was extremely important to the destiny of humankind.
D) It was an achievement of multi-disciplinary collaboration.
47. C. It was extremely important to the destiny of humankind.
【定位】根据关键词the creation of the LCFI定位到第一段第二句
【解析】“crucial to the future of our civilization and our species” 对我们文明和我们物种的未来至关重要，与选项C对应。本题较为简单，选项A、选项B与选项D均没有在原文中提及，而且 文章 是在说LEFI的重要性。
48. What did Hawking say was a welcome change in AI research?
A) The shift of research focus from the past to the future.
B) The shift of research from theory to implementation.
C) The greater emphasis on the negative impact of AI.
D) The increasing awareness of mankind’s past stupidity.
48. A. The shift of research focus from the past to the future.
【定位】根据关键词a welcome change定位到第二段末尾句
【解析】it’s a welcome change that people are studying instead the future of intelligence. 人们研究的是智慧的未来，这是一个令人欢迎的变化。根据前文的We spend a great deal of time studying history…is mostly the history of stupidity可知，我们花了很多时间研究愚蠢的历史，可以选出选项A。选项B与选项C在原文没有提及。选项D偏离了重点，题干是在问令人欢迎的变化是什么，对应原文“从研究历史到研究未来的转换”。
49. What concerns did Hawking raise about AI?
A) It may exceed human intelligence sooner or later.
B) It may ultimately over-amplify the human mind.
C) Super-intelligence may cause its own destruction.
D) Super—intelligence may eventually ruin mankind.
49. D. Super—intelligence may eventually ruin mankind.
【定位】根据题干concerns和Hawking raise about AI定位到原文第三段第一句
【解析】…raising concerns that humanity could be the architect of its own destruction if it creates a super-intelligence…：如果人类有自己的意愿创造出一种超级智能，那么人类可能是自身毁灭的建筑师。对应选项D。选项A与选项B没有在原文提及。选项D与选项C的差异在于，选项D是说人工智能毁灭人类，选项C是说人工智能毁灭人工智能自身。这是题目陷阱——原文中的its own destruction，its指代前文的humanity人类。
50. What do we learn about some entrepreneurs from the technology industry?
A) They are much influenced by the academic community.
B) They are most likely to benefit from AI development.
C) They share the same concerns about AI as academic.
D) They believe they can keep AI under human control.
50. C. They share the same concerns about AI as academic.
【定位】根据关键词some entrepreneurs定位到原文最后一段第二句
【解析】most famously the entrepreneur Elon Musk, have also expressed their concerns about the damage that a super-intelligent AI could do to humanity. 最著名的企业家埃隆·马斯克，也表达了他们对超级智能人工智能可能对人类造成的损害的担忧。这种担忧正是前文的学术界表达的。所以选项C为正确答案。选项A、选项B与选项D均没有在原文中提及。
阅读篇二：
Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups(初创公司)want in on the action. What they sometimes lack is feedback from the people who they hope will use their products. So Brookdale, the country’s largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.
That’s what brought Dayle Rodriguez, 28, all the way from England to the dining room of Brookdale South Bay in Torrance, California. Rodriguez is the community and marketing manager for a company called Sentab. The startup’s product, Sentab TV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.
“It’s nothing new, it’s nothing too complicated and it’s natural because lots of people have TV remotes,” says Rodriguez.
But none of that is the topic of conversation in the Brookdale dining room. Instead, Rodriguez solicits residents’ advice on what he should get on his cheeseburger and how he should spend the afternoon. Playing cards was on the agenda, as well as learning to play mahjong( 麻将 ).
Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something. “I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach,” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch,” all work better “than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowing for sure I’m not selling them something – there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”
Rodriguez is just the seventh entrepreneur to move into one of Brookdale’s 1,100 senior living communities. Other new products in the program have included a kind of full-body blow dryer and specially designed clothing that allows people with disabilities to dress and undress themselves.
Mary Lou Busch, 93, agreed to try the Sentab system. She tells Rodriguez that it might be good for someone, but not for her.
“I have the computer and Face Time, which I talk with my family on,” she explains. She also has an iPad and a smartphone. “So I do pretty much everything I need to do.”
To be fair, if Rodriguez had wanted feedback from some more technophobic(害怕技术的) seniors, he might have ended up in the wrong Brookdale community. This one is located in the heart of Southern California’s aerospace corridor. Many residents have backgrounds in engineering, business and academic circles.
But Rodriguez says he’s still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-proficient than we thought.”
And besides, where else would he learn to play mahjong?
51. What does the passage say about the startups?
A) They never lose time in upgrading products for seniors.
B) They want to have a share of the seniors’ goods market.
C) They invite seniors to their companies to try their products.
D) They try to profit from promoting digital products to seniors.
答案：B
【解析】
The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups(初创公司)want in on the action.
原句中说专门为老年人定制产品市场在明年将创300亿美元的营业额，而startups初创公司也want in on the action想要从中分取一杯羹。选项，就是跟The market for products designed specifically for older adults could reach $30 billion by next year, and startups(初创公司)want in on the action.的同义替换。
52. Some entrepreneurs have been invited to Brookdale to .
A) have an interview with potential customers
B) conduct a survey of retirement communities
C) collect residents’ feedback on their products
D) show senior residents how to use IT products
答案：C
【解析】
So Brookdale, the country’s largest owner of retirement communication, has been inviting a few select entrepreneurs just to move in for a few days, show off their products and hear what the residents have to say.这里的题眼在于hear what the residents have to say，听听居民们对他们的产品怎么看，也就是选项C中的collect residents’ feedback。
53. What do we know about SentabTV?
A) It is a TV program catering to the interest of the elderly.
B) It is a digital TV which enjoys popularity among seniors.
C) It is a TV specially designed for seniors to view programs.
D) It is a communication system via TV instead of a computer.
答案：D
【解析】
The startup’s product, Sentab TV, enables older adults who may not be comfortable with computers to access email, video chat and social media using just their televisions and a remote control.
原文中提到SentabTV帮助不习惯用电脑的老年人，跟选项D中instead of a computer呼应。
54. What does Rodriguez say is important in promoting products?
A) Winning trust from prospective customers.
B) Knowing the likes and dislikes of customers.
C) Demonstrating their superiority on the spot.
D) Responding promptly to customer feedback.
答案：A
【解析】
Rodriguez says it’s important that residents here don’t feel like he’s selling them something. “I’ve had more feedback in a passive approach,” he says. “Playing pool, playing cards, having dinner, having lunch,” all work better “than going through a survey of questions. When they get to know me and to trust me, knowing for sure I’m not selling them something – there’ll be more honest feedback from them.”
原句中提到了When they get to know me and to trust me，重要在于能得到居民的了解与信任，对应选项A，获得潜在客户的信任。
55. What do we learn about the seniors in the Brookdale community?
A) Most of them are interested in using the Sentab.
B) They are quite at ease with high-tech products.
C) They have much in common with seniors elsewhere.
D) Most of them enjoy a longer life than average people.
答案：B
【解析】
But Rodriguez says he’s still learning something important by moving into this Brookdale community: “People are more tech-proficient than we thought.”这句话的最后半句提到，人们比我们想象中精通技术，B选项的quite at ease with指的是人们对高科技产品使用的得心应手，正好为同义替换。

What can we infer from the conversation?【答案】D The man is the manager of the apartment building【解析】从对话中看出男士在找apartment building，不是女士。因此选D。12. What is the woman eager to know?【答案】B How the pictures will turn out.【解析】女士想知道的是if the shots I took are as good as I thought. 照片是不是和她想的异样好。这里shots指照片。turn out指照片拍出来的效果。因此选B。13. What does the man mean?【答案】C The suitcase can be fixed in time.【解析】男士说到find a handle后面提到 but that shouldn’t take too long说明不是没有handle可以匹配。因此排除A,B。14. What do we learn about the man from the conversation?【答案】B He needs a vehicle to be used in harsh weather.【解析】男士说到truck需要operate for long periods of time in very cold temperatures，因此选择选项B。very cold temperatures对应harsh weather.15.

What does the man mainly need when working on a book?【答案】D To be entirely alone.【解析】对话中can’t even bare anybody else, be completely alone都说明该作家需要独立的写作空间，因此选择D。21. What does the man say about writers?【答案】C They look at the world in a detached manner.【解析】关键词detachment 分离。作家提到作者的经历和写作。虽然说道some experiences overwhelm everyone, 但是后面的but暗示了答案，stand aside、detachment都对应了C选项。22. What does the woman say about British railways?【答案】B Like it or not, you have to use them.【解析】在对话一开始，女士就提到了There’s only one railway system, if you don't like a particular railway, you can’t go and use another. 因为只有一条铁路，即使不喜欢，也只能乘坐，换句话说不论喜欢与否都得用它。因此选择B。23. What do some people who write to the man complain about?【答案】D The monopoly of British Railways.【解析】对话中谈及monopoly，铁路垄断，因此选D。其他选项均未涉及。24.

What is one of the most frightening threats of global warming according to the passage?【解析】C) Many coastal cities will be covered with water.细节题。本题不难，从听力开头即可听到 “raising sea level so much that coastal cities from New York to Los Angles to Shanghai will be flooded” 所以选C选项。27. What do scientists disagree on?【解析】B) How unstable the West Antarctic ice sheet is.细节题。本题不难。注意关键句 “but Antarctic experts disagree strongly on just how unstable it is” 即可得出答案。28. What is the latest information revealed about the West Antarctic ice sheet?【解析】A）It collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years.细节题。注意提取关键信息 “new evidence reveals that all or most of the Antarctic ice sheet collapsed at least once during the past 1.3 million years” 所以选A选项。29. What the scientists’ latest findings suggest?【解析】A) The West Antarctic region was once a open ocean.细节题。听力最后的例子说明了这一点“which suggest that the region was once open ocean not solid ice”， 而其他选项都不是最新的发现。Passage Two30 B）Whether a deleted photo is immediately removed from the web.【解析】听力一开始作者就建议我们尝试删除自己上传的照片“Take a photo and upload it to Facebook, then after a day or so, note what the URL link to the picture is and then delete it.”，由此可知应该选B。31 B) The way they store data.【解析】“Why do "deleted" photos stick around so long? The problem relates to the way data is stored on large websites”，从这句话可知图片之所以不能立即删除跟它们存储的方式有关。32 C) When the URL is reused.【解析】“In the case of Facebook, the company says data may hang around until the URL in question is reused”，从这句话可知只有URL被再次用到才会被删除。Passage Three33. A解析：第一段原文可以找到对应句子，即some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner.34. B解析：第一段原文中有对应语句，即Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards.35.

Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them,46. went beyond the simple notion that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right.47. Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals, whatever they may be.Part ⅣReading Comprehension（Reading in Depth）Section A47.答案：feminine and weak解析：文中提到…because they believe that such feelings are feminine and imply weakness. 要填在to be后面就应该转化成形容词形式。48.答案：lose composure解析：文中提到may lead to a loss of composure。要用在主语后面就要把loss变成动词lose。49.答案：stress-related disorders解析：文中提到can contribute to stress-related disorder。50.答案：their relationship with partners解析：文中提到…report lower relationship satisfaction as do their female partners.故这里要重新组合转换表达形式。51.答案：aggressive解析：文中提到…into physically aggression or violence，而此处在become后就要用aggression的形容词形式。52) A solve virtually existing all problems细节题。抓住时间点“In the early 2oth century” 我们从第一句 “offer solutions to almost every problem” 便可知道答案。选择A选项。53) D They realized that science and technology alone were no guarantee for a better world.推论题。 我们首先比较容易排除A和C项。B项具有迷惑性，关键是看“the stability of a society depended heavily on humanistic study”这个选项仔细看就会发现说得太绝对了，社会的问题主要是靠人文主义的研究？显然不是很恰当。我们从下面那句也可以推断出选D比较恰当。 “Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world.”54) C America is lagging behind in the STEMS disciplines.细节题。主要在第二段里找答案。从段落后两句“There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines.” 我们可以推断出是选C选项。 A和D选项比较容易排除。不选B选项，因为文章中 “India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.” seem to 表明这几个国家只是有种趋势，但还没有have overtaken。55) A Insufficient funding.细节题。我们在第三段里可以找到答案。 从“…are seriously underfunded…” “Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members…” 这些信息中，可以很快知道是A选项。56) C Humanistic thinking helps cultivate and define our culture and values.细节题。本题不难。作者为什么如此着重人文主义的研究，其他三项都是非常具体的，且都不是重点。只有C选项符合。且我们从最后这一句 “But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values.” 及作者的语气可以更加确定是C选项。第二篇：57. D. It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.解 析：这道题针对开头两节。A和C答案比较容易排除，A说爱因斯坦把数学推到了一个极限，C说在将来的两百年都不会有物理学家超过爱因斯坦，这两个都明显不 合文章大意。B答案说需要一个爱因斯坦才能建立一种大一统理论，属于过度推理，并且细节性太强了。D答案是正确答案，很多同学不敢选D的原因是，因为有些 科学家们认为爱因斯坦或许还没有诞生或许还是个小婴儿，他们认为这样一来就有可能爱因斯坦已经存在了。但是这句话里面的爱因斯坦是代表伟大的科学家的意 思，那么这个题目选择D就是正确的，大家都同意的是像爱因斯坦那样伟大的科学家还需要一定的时间才会出现。58. B. His independent and abstract thinking解析：B他独立与抽象思维能力。这一段是文章中间部分的内容概括。根据上下文意思推断，爱因斯坦成功的原因，不能说是他在音乐方面的天分，也不能说他的努力或者他在数学方面的深厚基础，因此答案选择B。59. D. They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.解析：正确答案选择D。这段文章是在问今天的物理学家们的情况， A说他们缺乏分析能力，B说他们擅长处理实际问题，C说他们重视发表文章，都是从根据文章细节中捏造出来的错误选项。D是对于文章内容的一个总结概括，数量众多的物理学家进入了更有经济利益的领域。60. D. Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.解析：正确答案选择D。结合Greene讲的话，他说What an idea!还说是需要把头往墙上撞的人才会相信能找到个解决方案呢！说明内容实在是比较荒诞。61. B. was little known in academic circles解 析：正确答案选择B，说的是爱因斯坦在学术圈里面默默无闻，跟原文里面的“by a virtual unknown”相对应。有迷惑性的选择项是D,因为文中提到了爱因斯坦的文章没有配上脚注和注释footnote and citations.但是D选择项是说，爱因斯坦不懂得论文的格式，这个属于过度推理了。Part ⅤCloze62 B set out set out plans表示制定计划63 D abandoning abandon 放弃，once unshakeable orthodoxy表示曾经不可动摇的做法，也就是现在要放弃了。64 A with struggle with表示同…斗争，介词搭配，这里表示设法应对广告收入和报纸销售量下降的局面。65 B intends intend to表示打算…,从后面的at the beginning of 2011，可知还没有这么做，只是计划或者打算这么做。66 A exceeded 超过，是说当用户每月阅读文章超过一定量时就要收费。67 A on 和side搭配，on the side of …表示拥护…；站在…一边。68 D charge 本词在文章中多次出现，charge sb表示向某人收费。69 C such as 表示举例，从后面举London's Evening Standard作为例子，可知应该选such as.70 B free 前面提到abandon readership revenue，即放弃读者收益，由此可知应该是make print editions free.71 C acknowledged 表示承认，这里表示Arthur Sulzberger承认这么做是一种赌博。72 C bet 打赌，赌注，从前面的gamble可知应该选bet。73 C circulation 发行量，从后面的数量可知应该选circulation。74 A behind NYT排名第三，即排在the Wall Street Journal and USA Today后面。75 B While在这里表示对比，从上下文可知NYT与美国其他报纸不同。76 D claim 声称，宣称，这里是说NYT声称自己是全国范围的报纸。77 C maintains 维持，运营，即NYT还在世界其他地方运营着26个办公室。78 A like 从下文可知NYT和印刷行业的其他公司一样，也受到金融危机的影响，所以选like，表示同…一样。79 D serious 严重的，考察形容词与名词的搭配，从下文的数据可知遭受严重经济损失。80 C suffered 遭受，suffer a loss遭受损失，常见搭配。81 D loan 贷款，前文提到公司损失了很多钱，所以需要从别处借钱来补充资金。翻译答案：82. There is no denying that you ___________(越仔细越好) in dealing with this matter.解析：can never be too careful / can not be too careful【考点解释】本题考查“越仔细越好”“再…也不为过”的固定搭配，即can never be too/can not be too + adj.【原句精释】无可否认，处理这件事，越仔细越好。83. Only when I reached my thirties __________________________ (我才意识到读书是不能被忽视的)解析：did I realize that reading cannot be neglecteddid I realize that reading is unignorable【考点解释】本题考查由only when 引起的局部倒装。当only when置于句首，主句用局部倒装，即将助动词置于主语前面。only when引导句子时态为过去时（reached），为保持时态一致，主句助动词用did；注意被动语态的使用，reading与neglect为被动关系。同时也可以使用be+adj的结构。【原句精释】直到三十岁，我才意识不能忽视读书。84. Much ___________________ (使研究人员感到惊讶)，the outcome of the experiment was far better than they had expected.解析：to the researchers’ surprise【考点解释】本题考查固定搭配 to one’s surprise 使…惊讶的是…【原句精释】让研究人员大为惊讶的是，实验结果比他们的预计好得多。85. Oh, my, I can’t find my key; __________________________（我一定是把它放在哪儿了）。解析：I must have left / put it somewhere.【考点解释】本题考查对过去事情的肯定的猜测，即must have+过去分词，leave与put都有放置的意思，但leave强调遗忘在…，较之put，leave更贴合题意。【原句精释】天啊，我找不到钥匙。我一定是把它放在哪儿了。86．I ________________________(宁愿加入你们去做义工)than go to the beach for a holiday.解析：would rather join you as a volunteer【考点解释】考查结构“宁愿…也不愿…”, 因题干中已存在“than go”的结构，只能使用 “would rather do rather than do”。加入… join sb【原句精释】我宁愿加入你们去做义工，也不愿到海边去度假
