18．（10分）If you have a question，you may want to get a quick answer online.Some technology companies are working to make this come true by developing chatbots.They are computer programs that can communicate with people by phone，on messaging apps or on websites.
Chatbots can look up information，answer frequently（经常地）asked questions and collect information from users.They can also be used for online shopping to help people decide what to buy.
There are two kinds of chatbots：open and closed.A closed chatbot may or may not use Al （人工智能）to understand messages from users.An open chatbot uses Al both to know what people want and to create a reply.Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and then improve their ability to communicate over time.This means that open chatbots can answer a wider range（范围）of questions，compared with closed chatbots.
One important advantage of chatbots is that they are available all the time，even at midnight.What's more，one chatbot can serve many users at once.This means that people can get answers quickly instead of waiting for the reply of a human agent.
▲ Someone has to program the chatbots at the beginning and train them.Sometimes，open chatbots can't give answers to certain questions.Besides，many people prefer speaking to a human rather than a chatbot.

（1）What is the chatbot？ 　 　
A.A website.
B.A messaging app.

A.However，chatbots can't take the place of human agents.
B.Human agents and chatbots are good partners.

18．（10分）If you have a question，you may want to get a quick answer online.Some technology companies are working to make this come true by developing chatbots.They are computer programs that can communicate with people by phone，on messaging apps or on websites.
Chatbots can look up information，answer frequently（经常地）asked questions and collect information from users.They can also be used for online shopping to help people decide what to buy.
There are two kinds of chatbots：open and closed.A closed chatbot may or may not use Al （人工智能）to understand messages from users.An open chatbot uses Al both to know what people want and to create a reply.Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and then improve their ability to communicate over time.This means that open chatbots can answer a wider range（范围）of questions，compared with closed chatbots.
One important advantage of chatbots is that they are available all the time，even at midnight.What's more，one chatbot can serve many users at once.This means that people can get answers quickly instead of waiting for the reply of a human agent.
▲ Someone has to program the chatbots at the beginning and train them.Sometimes，open chatbots can't give answers to certain questions.Besides，many people prefer speaking to a human rather than a chatbot.

（1）What is the chatbot？ 　D　
A.A website.
B.A messaging app.
C.A technology company.
D.A computer program.
（2）What can chatbots do according to the second paragraph？ 　B　
A.Keep personal information safe.

C.Open chatbots answer questions on more topics.
D.Open chatbots don't use AI to understand questions.
（4）Which of the following can be put into 　C　？
A.However，chatbots can't take the place of human agents.
B.Human agents and chatbots are good partners.
C.To solve the problem，humans are necessary.
D.Chatbots can do a great job by themselves.
（5）What can we learn from the passage？ 　D　
A.Human agents are more popular than chatbots.
B.One chatbot can only serve one person at a time.
C.Chatbots have been widely used around the world.
D.Sometimes chatbots can't answer people's questions.

（3）细节理解题。根据第三段Open chatbots are able to learn from their conversations and then improve their ability to communicate over time.This means that open chatbots can answer a wider range of questions，compared with closed chatbots.（开放式聊天机器人能够从他们的对话中学习，然后随着时间的推移提高他们的交流能力。这意味着，与封闭式聊天机器人相比，开放式聊天机器人可以回答更广泛的问题。）可知开放聊天机器人能回答更多话题的问题。故选C。

（8）考查形容词。句意："很难为古树创造足够的空间，因为许多古树都生长在拥挤的街道上。"crowded"拥挤的"符合题意，用形容词修饰名词。故答案为crowded。
（9）考查动词不定式。句意：为了改善古树的生存环境，专家们提出了许多保护方法。improve"改善"符合题意，用动词不定式表示目的。故答案为To improve。

【解答】根据主句句意（她既不惊讶也不担心）可知，考查neither ...nor...，主语是she，惊讶的surprised，担心的worried，所以she was neither surprised nor worried；when引导时间状语从句，learn about了解，the new这则消息，learning现在分词作状语。

【解答】by the time到..里为止，引导时间状语从句用一般过去时，主句用过去完成时。从句主语the doctor，谓语动词arrive，用一般过去时，所以从句为by the time the doctor arrived；主句的主语是the old men，与save之间是被动关系，所以用过去完成时的被动语态，the old had been saved。
故答案为：By the time the doctor arrived，the old had been saved。
32．（3分）在你的国家，在客人面前打开生日礼物礼貌吗？ 　Is it polite to open a birthday gift in front of guests in your country？

故答案为：Is it polite to open a birthday gift in front of guests in your country？
六、阅读表达 阅读短文，根据要求完成文后任务。
33．（14分）[1]From 1700 until 1100 BC，the area of China around the Yellow River was ruled by a family of kings called the Shang.They were rich and very powerful.The king and his family lived in large palaces，decorated（装饰） with beautiful objects.They had many servants who made them food and did all the work in the palaces，so they had an easy life.
[2]The richest people at that time were warriors（武士）.They lived in cities with very high walls.Their houses were large and made of wood or brick.They wore beautiful gowns（长袍）made of silk.They didn't work，and spent their time hunting and horse riding.
[3]Other people lived outside the walls，in houses made of mud （泥）.They were businessmen and crafismen（手艺人），so they worked for their living.（3）他们不贫穷，但是战争期间得不到保护。
[4]Most of the people during that time were farmers.They lived in villages in the countryside.Their houses were small and made of mud or bamboo.Inside，there wasn't any furniture，and they slept on the mud floor.They worked in fields with ① made of stone，grew grain such as rice，and kept animals.They were very poor.They had to obey the kings and warriors.They didn't have a very easy life.The best place for farming at that time was by the Yellow River.Here the warm，wet weather was perfect for growing rice.
[5]During the time of the Shang，there were some important developments.Bronze（青铜）is one of them.People used it to make pots，cups，jewellery，weapons and so on.But the most important development during the time of the Shang was writing.Once people can write，they can pass on information about themselves，their lives and what they believe. （4）Although the Chinese started writing at this time，they didn't have paper yet，so people wrote on animal bones，stones，bamboo，and even on turtle （鸟龟） shells!
[6]So，life for people in ancient China was quite ② from our lives today.

任务一：短文填词。根据上下文，请在文中空白处各填入一个恰当的单词。
（1）①　tools　②　different　
任务二：回答问题。注意词数限制。
（2）How did the kings' palaces of the Shang look like？ （No more than 10 words ） 　They were large and decorated with beautiful objects.　
（3）What kind of life did the farmers live that time？（No more than 8 words） 　They lived a hard life.　
（4）Why was the Yellow River area the best place for farming？ （No more than 8 words） 　Because the weather was perfect for growing rice.　
（5）What was the most important development during the time of the Shang？ （With one word） 　Writing.　
任务三：翻译句子。
（6）将第三段划线句子翻译成英语。 　They were not poor，but they were not protected during wars.　
（7）将第五段划线句子翻译成汉语。 　尽管中国人在那时开始书写，但是他们还没有纸，所以人们在动物骨头、石头、竹子写甚至在龟壳上字。　

【分析】这篇文章给我们介绍了中国古代商朝时期人们的生活。
【解答】（1）词义猜测题。①考查名词。句意：他们用石头做的工具在地里干活，种植水稻等谷物，并喂养动物。根据They worked in fields（他们在地里干活）和made of stone（石头做的）可知，此句应该表示他们用石头做的工具在地里干活。tool表示"工具"，此处应该用其复数表示泛指。所以第一空填tools。②考查形容词。句意：因此，中国古代人们的生活和我们今天的生活大不相同。根据全文可知，中国古代人的生活和我们今天的生活不一样。be different from表示"与……不同"。所以第二空填different。故填tools；different。
（2）细节理解题。根据第一段The king and his family lived in large palaces，decorated（装饰） with beautiful objects.（国王和他的家人住在装饰着美丽物品的大宫殿里。）可知，商王的宫殿很大，并且装饰着漂亮的东西。故填They were large and decorated with beautiful objects.
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段They were very poor.They had to obey the kings and warriors.They didn't have a very easy life.（他们很穷。他们必须服从国王和武士。他们的生活并不容易。）可知，那时农民的生活很艰难。故填They lived a hard life。
（4）细节理解题。根据第四段Here the warm，wet weather was perfect for growing rice.（这里温暖潮湿的天气非常适合种植水稻。）可知，黄河流域是最好的农业区的原因是那里的天气很适合种植水稻。故填Because the weather was perfect for growing rice.
（5）细节理解题。根据第五段But the most important development during the time of the Shang was writing.（但是商朝时期最重要的发展是书写。）可知，商朝时期最重要的发展是书写。故填Writing.
（6）汉译英题。根据全文可知，本句时态是一般过去时态。主句是一个主系表的否定句。主语是第三人称复数they（他们），所以be动词用were；poor意为"贫穷"；连词but（但是）引导的是一个一般过去时态的被动语态的句子。一般过去时态被动语态的结构为：主语+was/were+动词的过去分词+其它。主语是复数they（他们）；所以be动词用were；protect意为"保护"，其过去分词为protected。during wars 意为"战争期间"，放句末，作时间状语。故填They were not poor，but they were not protected during wars.
（7）英译汉题。Although意为"尽管"；the Chinese started writing意为"中国人开始书写"；at that time意为"在那时"；在英语中关联词只能用一个，但是汉语翻译时，可以加入相应的关联词。所以they didn't have paper yet可翻译为"但是他们还没有纸"；so意为"所以"；people wrote on animal bones，stones，bamboo意为"人们在动物骨头、石头、竹子上写字"；even on turtle shells意为"甚至在龟壳上"。故填尽管中国人在那时开始书写，但是他们还没有纸，所以人们在动物骨头、石头、竹子写甚至在龟壳上字。
