When you are little, the whole world feels like a big playground. I was living in Conyers, Georgia the summer it all happened. I was a second grader, but my best friend Stephanie was only in the first grade. Both of our parents were at work and most of the time they let us go our own way.
It was a hot afternoon and we decided to have an adventure in Stephanie’s basement. As I opened the basement door, before us lay the biggest room, full of amazing things like guns, dolls, and old clothes. I ran downstairs, and spotted a red steel can. It was paint. I looked beyond it and there lay even more paint in bright colors like purple, orange, blue and green.
“Stephanie, I just found us a project for the day. Get some paintbrushes. We are fixing to paint.” She screamed with excitement as I told her of my secret plans and immediately we got to work. We gathered all the brushes we could find and moved all of our materials to my yard. There on the road in front of my house, we painted big stripes (条纹) of colors across the pavement. Stripe by stripe, our colors turned into a beautiful rainbow. It was fantastic!
The sun was starting to sink. I saw a car in the distance and jumped up as I recognized the car. It was my mother. I couldn’t wait to show her my masterpiece. The car pulled slowly into the driveway and from the look on my mother’s face, I could tell that I was in deep trouble.
My mother shut the car door and walked towards me. Her eyes glaring, she shouted, “What in the world were you thinking? I understood when you made castles out of leaves, and climbed the neighbors’ trees, but this! Come inside right now!” I stood there glaring back at her for a minute, angry because she had insulted (侮辱) my art.
“Now go and clean it up!” Mother and I began cleaning the road. Tears ran down my cheeks as I saw my beautiful rainbow tum into black cement.
Though years have now passed, I still wonder where my rainbow has gone. I wonder if, maybe when I get older, I can find my rainbow and never have to brush it away. I guess we all need some sort of rainbow to brighten our lives from time to time and to keep our hopes and dreams colorful.
41. What did the writer want to do when his mother came home?
A. To show his artwork to her.
B. To introduce Stephanie to her.
C. To put the materials back in the yard.
D. To prevent her from seeing his painting.

A. was a born artist B. always caused trouble
C. was a problem solver D. worked very hard
43. The underlined word “rainbow” in the last paragraph refers to ________.

B. the stripes on the pavement
C. something imaginative and fun
D. important lessons learned in childhood
44. What did the writer feel when the rainbow was cleaned up?
A. Sad. B. Excited. C. Embarrassed. D. Curious.
45. It can be learned from the passage that parents should ________.
A. encourage children to paint
B. value friendship among children
C. discover the hidden talent in children
D. protect rather than destroy children’s dreams
【答案】41. A 42. B 43. C 44. A 45. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。主要讲述了作者小时候和朋友在家门前的马路上，用油漆和刷子在人行道上画了很多颜色的条纹，感觉像是彩虹一样，而感到异常的高兴。但是后来当母亲回来时，受到母亲的批评和训斥而感到伤心和沮丧。在很多年后，作者回想此事，明白了我们都需要某种彩虹不时地照亮我们的生活，让我们的希望和梦想多姿多彩。

Robots in the art world are nothing new. In fact, for centuries, people have built robots as art objects--or simple machines that perform a series of movements--in ancient China and Japan. However, what’s different now is that artists and engineers are building robots that actually create art.
In 1973, British-born painter Harold Cohen wrote a computer program and called it AARON. At first, AARON only made simple outlines whose color and details Cohen would later add. Fifty years later, landscapes add just about anything else a human could paint. So can AARON be called an artist or creative? In 2010, Cohen addressed these questions. He explained, “AARON can generate unlimited numbers of images.” So according to Cohen, the simple answer is yes--AARON is creative.
It’s not just paintings that robots are creating, though. Last year, a robot called Shimon released its first album on Spotify. Shimon began life as a simple robot marimba, however, it’s learned how to jam, write original songs and compose lyrics. Shimon does this by analyzing huge amounts of music-roughly 50,000 rock.
It may be cool to hear a song created by a robot, but is there any other reason to build robots that can play music? According to Gil Weinberg, one of Shimon’s creators, he and his team “hope and believe that these new abilities would push human cooperators to new uncharted directions that could not be achieved in human-to-human cooperation.”
While questions about robots creating art are fun to think about, there are many other ways that robots can help artists in the way they create their works. For example, advancements in 3D-printing technology will allow artists to build more complex pieces for their sculptures.
46. What was AARON able to do at first?
A. Paint people and landscapes.
B. Prepare basic outlines for Cohen.
C. Draw pictures of itself and Cohen.
D. Color paintings under Cohen’s instructions.
47. What does the article tell us about Shimon?
A. It is both a marimba and guitar player.
B. It has created about 50,000 original songs.
C. It is expected to push humans to achieve more.
D. Its creators hope that it can outperform humans.
48. What does the author’s attitude towards robots that create art?
A. Positive. B. Worried. C. Neutral. D. Doubtful.
49. What might be the biggest challenge of creating songs by a robot?
A. Analyzing huge amounts of music.
B. Composing lyrics.
C. Playing guitar.
D. New abilities to new uncharted directions.
50. What could be the best title for the passage?
A. AARON and Shimon
B. Robots in the Real World
C. Programmed Creativity
D. Advancements in Technology

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
51. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?
A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.
B. Building roads and hotels is essential.
C. Support facilities are highly necessary.
D. Planning is of great importance to tourism.
52. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT .
A. a bad impact on other industries
B. a change of tourists’ customs
C. over crowded of places of interest
D. pressure on traffic
53. Not enough tourism can lead to .
A. an increase of unemployment
B. a decrease in tourist attractions
C the higher cost of support facilities
D. a rise in price and a fall in pay
54. It is good for local people to be well aware that tourism will .
A use up large amount of water B. weaken their economy
C. help establish their traditions D. help improve their life
55. The word “handle” in the last paragraph most probably means .
A. carry away B. pick up
C. get in D. take down
【答案】51. D 52. B 53. A 54. D 55. A

If tourism grows too quickly people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.( 过多的游客可能会成为一个问题。如果旅游业发展太快，人们就必须离开其他工作去旅游业工作。这意味着该国经济的其他领域可能会受到影响。)” 由此可知,旅游过多不会造成游客习俗的改变，故选B。

第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达
阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud, whether it was in the supermarket or on the street, I used to think how annoying it was. That was until a few months ago.
Recently, my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness, asking me to fix the “little girl” pattern on her wheel-chair seat. Not wanting her to stand out at school, I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker, eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.
Shortly after, Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school. This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school, as we tried to make sure she didn’t fall behind on her schoolwork.
I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life. Back then, it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals, as she spent so much time in them. No matter how sick she got, however, she always had a positive attitude.
But this was different: Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did. Zoe usually sings all the time, whether she’s playing, riding in the car, or just doing her homework. There was no need for a radio in our house; Zoe provided the music for us.
Consumed (被折磨) with my motherly worries, it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
One day, however, I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner. I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. “Pure delight,” I thought to myself. Her voice slowly grew stronger, and soon, both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.
How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped, weeks and weeks ago? Now, thankfully, she’s back in school, smiling and singing, and I’m thankful for each and every song she sings.
These days, whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves, I don’t get mad. Instead, I smile, as I know that by singing out loud, they’re simply sharing their happiness with the world.
56. How did the author use to feel when she heard strangers singing? (no more than 5 words)
57. What do you think Zoe was like? (no more than 10 words)
58. What does “it” in Paragraph 6 refer to? (no more than 10 words)
59. Why did the author say “There was no need for a radio in our house”? (no more than 15 words)
60. What does singing mean to people, according to the author? (no more than 15 words)
【答案】56. She used to feel annoyed.
57. She has a positive attitude and loves singing.
58. Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.
59. Zoe usually sings all the time and provided the music for us.
60. Singing out loud simply means sharing their happiness with the world.
