Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When she grew older, the 15-year old girl discovered the joy of sewing and found it calming, She started out to make small objects, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing.
Her love for the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which produces what she calls “wearable art”. “My definition of ‘wearable art’ is something often handmade, designed to make you feel unique,” she explains. She sells her creations in farmers markets, at sales for local churches, and other places.
All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She says there are 21 billion tons of cloth material in waste landfills(垃圾填埋场) in the United States. The teenager hopes to reduce that amount through her work. She works a lot with jean jackets renewing them with artistic additions. The process starts with finding cloth material that looks good with the jackets.
Ellie's mom. Amy Heath, is a former school art teacher. “Creativity feeds kids' brains. I think it's very important for children to have as many opportunities as possible and be inspired by as many objects and people,” Amy says.
Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. Ellie worked hard and was always very creative, but also very kind, helpful to the other students. Students learned the basic sewing skills in Crow's class. Over the last three years, Ellie has created clothing for theatrical productions at Severna Park High School. Last year, Ellie designed several pieces for actors to wear in the school musical drama.

When students walk into Jenny Umland's class, they don't automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Lowenstein’s are allowed to sit wherever they want. Umland doesn't assign seats. In fact, she has done away with most of the regular desks and uses beach chairs, standing desks, and rocking chairs instead.
Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats. Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices. Some teachers point out that students are often more comfortable speaking up when they're sitting near kids, they like the most.
“If kids are happy and comfortable, they are more willing to learn,” says Umland. After 19 years of teaching, she tried non-assigned seating for the first time this year. She says she'll never go back.
But not all teachers are ready to do away with their seating charts. Some say having assigned seats helps students focus on their work, instead of where they'll sit. One teacher from Texas thinks letting students sit wherever they want can create chaos. Assigned seating helps keep classrooms under control. Without specific seats to go to, students may argue over who gets to sit in the best spots. He often finds it hard to work in that environment. A more controlled classroom leads to better learning. Maybe what he says is reasonable. A 2012 study by Montana State University found that high school students did better on tests when a teacher assigned their seats.
A student, Jack, from Lowa, thinks he and his classmates should be comfortable when they learn. He says, “My teacher, Mrs. Umland, allows us to choose our own seats, and it's great! I used to be terrified of sitting in the same seat every day, which made me uncomfortable all over. Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I'm most comfortably.” And Umland says, “The setup in my class helps kids get along better. If two students want to sit in the same spot, they have to talk it out and compromise”.
8. What do we know about Umland?
A. She insists on arranging regular desks.
B. She is strongly against non-assigned seating.
C. She has failed in teaching in the past 19 years.
D. She lets students in her class choose their own seats.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 2?
A. tried on B. looked forward to
C. got rid of D. prepared for
10. What does Jack think of the Umland's seat setup in her class?
A. It is cozy. B. It is terrifying.
C. It is controversial. D. It is uncomfortable.
11. What's the best title for the text?
A. What Role Do Students Play in Class?
B. Should Students Have Assigned Seats?
C. Students Are Required to Listen Carefully in Class
D. Assigned Seats in the Classroom Are Popular Now
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。说明了越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，并以Riverdale Heights小学为例。文章主要围绕“学生是否应该坐在指定的座位上”展开阐述。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中When students walk into Jenny Umland's class, they don't automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Lowenstein’s are allowed to sit wherever they want.可知当学生走进Jenny Umland的课堂时，他们不会自动回到前一天坐过的座位上。在她位于Riverdale Heights小学的教室里，Lowenstein被允许在教室里随便坐。由此可知，Umland让班上的学生自己选择座位。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices.(许多教师表示，让孩子选择座位有助于他们学会如何做出正确的选择)由此可知，越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights就是其中之一。故可推知，ditch意为“废除，抛弃，摆脱”。故选C。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I'm most comfortably.可知被允许坐在任何我想坐的地方会让我更享受，因为我可以坐在最舒服的地方。由此可知，Jack认为班上设置的座位很舒适。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats.可知越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights小学就是其中之一。结合文章主要围绕“学生是否应该坐在指定的座位上”展开阐述，故B项为最佳标题。故选B。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题，根据下文Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices.(许多教师表示，让孩子选择座位有助于他们学会如何做出正确选择)由此可知，越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights就是其中之一。故可推知，ditch意为“废除，抛弃，摆脱”。故选C。
D
If you sit down to play an old-school board game like chess this holiday season, it might be surprising to keep in mind just how bad you'd be against a computer. In fact, computers have shown they're capable of taking humans' lunch money at board games for a while now. Remember Deep Blue versus Gary Kasparov in 1997 or AlphaGo against Lee Sedol, in South Korea, at the game of Go(围棋), in 2016?The computer won.
Now, the same team that created the Go-playing robot is celebrating something more powerful: an artificial intelligence system that is capable of teaching itself and winning at three different games.
They call it AlphaZero, and it knows two kinds of chess and Go. All of these games fall into the kind of “full information” or “perfect information” contests-each player can see the entire board and has access to the same information. That's different from games like poker, for example, where you don't know what cards an opponent is holding.
“AlphaZero needs to be told the rules of the games first, and after that, it learns by competing with itself in the games,” says Julian Schrittwieser."It suggests that we have a good chance to extend this to even more real-world problems that we might want to solve later."
And board games have historically been a good way to test computers' abilities. “It took us decades of work on these games to reach the point where AlphaZero can perform them better than people,” Campbell says. “I think they've served the field very well. They've allowed us to explore techniques such as the ones used in AlphaZero, which will be helpful as the field aims at more complex tasks.” Campbell adds. “And that is the whole point in the first place of solving games-it isn't for their own sake, but for it is a limited kind of environment where we can make progress in many other branches of science and technology.”
12. What's the author's main purpose in mentioning the two games in paragraph 1?
A. To show computers are bad at playing board games,
B. To prove computers can defeat humans at board games.
C. To emphasize humans are capable of playing computer games.
D. To demonstrate people can earn money by playing board games.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The operating principle of AlphaZero. B. The differences between chess and Go.
C. The information about hi-tech contests. D. The features of the games AlphaZero knows.
14. How can AlphaZero learn in the games?
A. By playing the games against itself. B. By playing multiple online games.
C. By being programmed by humans. D. By setting the rules of the games.
15. What does Campbell say about board games?
A. They help solve computers' problems.
B. They are used to test people's abilities.
C. Their techniques can be applied to other fields.
D. Their technology can be merely limited in games.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人AlphaZero的一些情况。这种人工智能能够在各种棋类比赛中战胜人类，能够自我学习，人们将把这种技术应用到其他领域。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句The computer won. 可知电脑赢了。由此可推知，作者提及这两个比赛是为了证明电脑可以在棋类游戏中战胜人类。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中All of these games fall into the kind of “full information” or “perfect information” contests-each player can see the entire board and has access to the same information. That's different from games like poker, for example, where you don't know what cards an opponent is holding.可知所有这些游戏都属于“完全信息”或“完全信息”的竞赛——每个玩家都可以看到整个棋盘并获得相同的信息。这与扑克等游戏不同，比如你不知道对手拿的是什么牌。可知第二三句都是围绕第一句中的“AlphaZero知道象棋和围棋”展开阐述。由此可知，本段主要讲AlphaZero所知道的游戏的特点。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句 “AlphaZero needs to be told the rules of the games first, and after that, it learns by competing with itself in the games,” says Julian Schrittwieser.可知“AlphaZero需要首先被告知游戏规则，然后，它通过在游戏中与自己竞争来学习，”Julian Schrittwieser说。由此可知，AlphaZero是通过在游戏中与自己比赛来学习。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“And that is the whole point in the first place of solving games-it isn't for their own sake, but for it is a limited kind of environment where we can make progress in many other branches of science and technology.”可知“这就是解决游戏的首要意义所在——不是为了游戏本身，而是因为这是一种有限的环境，我们可以在其中的许多其他科学和技术领域取得进步。”由此可推知，Campbell这种棋类游戏技术可以应用到其他科技领域。故选C。

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企鹅是一种神奇的鸟类以及其生活区域、外形等信息。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：它是在每年的4月25日庆祝。根据every year可知，时态是一般现在时，且主语是It，与celebrate之间是动宾关系，因此要用被动语态。故填is celebrated。
【42题详解】
考查形容词。句意：企鹅也是一种神奇的鸟类，因为它们的身体适应了不同寻常的气候，而且大多生活在海里。根据名词birds可知，此处要用形容词作定语修饰名词。故填amazing。
【43题详解】
考查介词+which引导的定语从句。句意：企鹅主要生活在南半球，而大多数人把企鹅和南极洲联系在一起，因为企鹅在那里分布得更广。根据介词in可知，此处要用which，构成由in which引导的限制性定语从句，先行词是Antarctica，in which在定语从句中充当地点状语。故填which。
【44题详解】
考查固定搭配。句意：企鹅种群分布在南美洲、南非、澳大利亚和新西兰，以及南太平洋的许多小岛上。短语as well as“和……一样”是固定搭配。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种企鹅在进食时游泳，经常穿过赤道进入北半球。根据crosses可知，此处要用副词修饰谓语动词。故填regularly。
【46题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据years ago可知，此处要用数量词，millions of“数百外的”。故填millions。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据swimmers可知，此处要用形容词作定语，修饰名词。故填skilled/ skillful/ skilful。
【48题详解】
考查冠词。句意：它们是游得最快、潜水最深的鸟类，一次可以在水下停留20分钟。短语at a time“一次，每次”是固定搭配。故填a。
【49题详解】
考查副词的比较级。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。根据than they do in the air可知，此处要用副词的比较级来修饰动词work。故填better。
【50题详解】
考查不定式作目的状语。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。此处要用不定式作目的状语，表示目的。故填to spot。

第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）
51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、刪除或修改。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。
修改：在错的词下划一橫线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。
注意： 1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；
2. 只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。
As a student, my main target is to study well and then make progress step in step. As we know, all works and no play makes Jack a dull boy. When holiday comes, it is time for me play and I’m usually very happy. Therefore, playing all the time makes me feel empty because I have done nothing at all. I want to do nothing meaningful to enrich my life, so a target is needing for me. I usually set a small goal for myself, for example, read a book. Every time when I finish my target, I felt so satisfied. The really meaningful life is to do some usefully things.
【答案】1.in→ by
2.works→ work
3.在play前加上to
4.Therefore→ However
5.第二个nothing→ something
6.needing→ needed
7.read→ reading
8.去掉when
9.felt→ feel
10.usefully→ useful
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名中学生在假期里感觉一直玩会让自己感到空虚，因此设定一个小目标去完成。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：作为一名学生，我的主要目标是好好学习，然后一步步地取得进步。短语step by step“逐步地，一步步地”是固定搭配。故将in改为by。
2. 考查动词时态。句意：众所周知，只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。根据主语从句中的主语all和并列谓语and no play，可知,时态是一般现在时，此处要用动词的原形。故将works改为work。
3. 考查不定式作主语。句意：当假期来临的时候，是我玩的时候了，我通常很高兴。根据it is time for me 可知,此处是it作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式部分，to play作真正的主语。故将在play前加上to。
4. 考查副词。句意：然而，一直玩会让我感到空虚，因为我什么都没做。根据playing all the time makes me feel empty可知,此处要用表示转折的副词，修饰整个句子。故将Therefore改为However。
5. 考查代词。句意：我想做一些有意义的事情来丰富我的生活，所以我需要一个目标。根据形容词meaningful及句意可知,此处要用代词something。故将nothing改为something。
6. 考查动词的被动语态。句意：我想做一些有意义的事情来丰富我的生活，所以我需要一个目标。根据主语是a target，与need之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，应用过去分词。故将needing改为needed。
7. 考查动名词。句意：我通常为自己设定一个小目标，例如，读书。根据for example可知，此处要用动名词形式。故将read改为reading。
8. 考查时间状语从句的引导词。every time“每次，每当”引导时间状语从句，when“在……时候，一……就……”也可以引导时间状语从句，因此when多余。故将when去掉。
9. 考查动词的时态。句意：每次当我完成我的目标，我感到很满足。根据I finish my target和全文可知，时态是一般现在时，且主语是I，此处要用动词的原形。故将felt改为feel。
10. 考查形容词。句意：真正有意义的生活是做一些有用的事情。根据名词things可知，此处要用形容词作定语修饰名词。故将usefully改为useful。
【点睛】第2和第9小题考查了一般现在时的用法。一般现在时的用法：
1.表示事物或人物的特征、状态。如：The sky is blue. 天空是蓝色的。
2.表示经常性或习惯性的动作。如：I get up at six every day. 我每天六点起床。
3.表示客观现实。如：The earth goes around the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。
一般现在时的结构：
1.be动词：主语+be(am/is/are)其它。如：I am a boy. 我是一个男孩。
2.行为动词：主语+行为动词（+其它）。如：We study English.我们学习英语。

Before she could even talk, Ellie Heath spent hours drawing pictures. When she grew older, the 15-year old girl discovered the joy of sewing and found it calming, She started out to make small objects, like jewelry and soft toys. Over time, she began making clothing.
Her love for the creative work led her to open a business. Three Blue Bunnies is the name of her company, which produces what she calls “wearable art”. “My definition of ‘wearable art’ is something often handmade, designed to make you feel unique,” she explains. She sells her creations in farmers markets, at sales for local churches, and other places.
All the pieces Ellie creates are made of used or donated fabrics. She says there are 21 billion tons of cloth material in waste landfills(垃圾填埋场) in the United States. The teenager hopes to reduce that amount through her work. She works a lot with jean jackets renewing them with artistic additions.

Ellie sharpened her creative skills at school. Cheryl Crow was one of her teachers early on. Crow called Ellie “a dream student”. Ellie worked hard and was always very creative, but also very kind, helpful to the other students. Students learned the basic sewing skills in Crow's class. Over the last three years, Ellie has created clothing for theatrical productions at Severna Park High School. Last year, Ellie designed several pieces for actors to wear in the school musical drama.

When students walk into Jenny Umland's class, they don't automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Lowenstein’s are allowed to sit wherever they want. Umland doesn't assign seats. In fact, she has done away with most of the regular desks and uses beach chairs, standing desks, and rocking chairs instead.
Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats. Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices. Some teachers point out that students are often more comfortable speaking up when they're sitting near kids, they like the most.
“If kids are happy and comfortable, they are more willing to learn,” says Umland. After 19 years of teaching, she tried non-assigned seating for the first time this year. She says she'll never go back.
But not all teachers are ready to do away with their seating charts. Some say having assigned seats helps students focus on their work, instead of where they'll sit. One teacher from Texas thinks letting students sit wherever they want can create chaos. Assigned seating helps keep classrooms under control. Without specific seats to go to, students may argue over who gets to sit in the best spots. He often finds it hard to work in that environment. A more controlled classroom leads to better learning. Maybe what he says is reasonable. A 2012 study by Montana State University found that high school students did better on tests when a teacher assigned their seats.
A student, Jack, from Lowa, thinks he and his classmates should be comfortable when they learn. He says, “My teacher, Mrs. Umland, allows us to choose our own seats, and it's great! I used to be terrified of sitting in the same seat every day, which made me uncomfortable all over. Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I'm most comfortably.” And Umland says, “The setup in my class helps kids get along better. If two students want to sit in the same spot, they have to talk it out and compromise”.
8. What do we know about Umland?
A. She insists on arranging regular desks.
B. She is strongly against non-assigned seating.
C. She has failed in teaching in the past 19 years.
D. She lets students in her class choose their own seats.
9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ditched” in paragraph 2?
A. tried on B. looked forward to
C. got rid of D. prepared for
10. What does Jack think of the Umland's seat setup in her class?
A. It is cozy. B. It is terrifying.
C. It is controversial. D. It is uncomfortable.
11. What's the best title for the text?
A. What Role Do Students Play in Class?
B. Should Students Have Assigned Seats?
C. Students Are Required to Listen Carefully in Class
D. Assigned Seats in the Classroom Are Popular Now
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【分析】
本文是说明文。说明了越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，并以Riverdale Heights小学为例。文章主要围绕“学生是否应该坐在指定的座位上”展开阐述。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中When students walk into Jenny Umland's class, they don't automatically go to the same seat they sat in the day before. In her classroom at Riverdale Heights Elementary School, Lowenstein’s are allowed to sit wherever they want.可知当学生走进Jenny Umland的课堂时，他们不会自动回到前一天坐过的座位上。在她位于Riverdale Heights小学的教室里，Lowenstein被允许在教室里随便坐。由此可知，Umland让班上的学生自己选择座位。故选D。
【9题详解】
词义猜测题。根据下文Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices.(许多教师表示，让孩子选择座位有助于他们学会如何做出正确的选择)由此可知，越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights就是其中之一。故可推知，ditch意为“废除，抛弃，摆脱”。故选C。
10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Being allowed to sit wherever I want makes me more enjoyable, because I can sit where I'm most comfortably.可知被允许坐在任何我想坐的地方会让我更享受，因为我可以坐在最舒服的地方。由此可知，Jack认为班上设置的座位很舒适。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段中Riverdale Heights is one of a growing number of schools that have ditched assigned seats.可知越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights小学就是其中之一。结合文章主要围绕“学生是否应该坐在指定的座位上”展开阐述，故B项为最佳标题。故选B。
【点睛】词义猜测题是高考阅读理解中常考题型之一，可以大致分为
① 定义猜词，可以根据定义信息和举例猜测词义。如文中常用refer to, be called或that's to say, such as等。
② 逻辑猜词可以根据同义词、反义词、因果关系词等猜测词义，例如，similarly, the same as, but, however, while, on the other hand, since ,because等，所猜词与这些提示词前/后面部分的含义一样、相反或是前因后果。
③ 语法猜词，可以根据构词法，再结合上下文进行猜词。
④ 语境猜词，猜测词义离不开上下文的语境，通过上下文提供的情景和线索进行合理的分析，同时还要关注其所在的整段及整篇文章。
⑤ 指代猜词即找出人称代词、指示代词、关系代词或关系副词等所指代的内容，做题时要注意指代词的位置，以便于判断，然后用所找的指代内容替换划线代词，核实其逻辑、意义、位置等是否一致，最后比较所找部分与选项，确定意思最接近的选项。
如第二小题，根据下文Many teachers say letting kids choose where to sit helps them learn how to make good choices.(许多教师表示，让孩子选择座位有助于他们学会如何做出正确选择)由此可知，越来越多的学校放弃了指定的座位，Riverdale Heights就是其中之一。故可推知，ditch意为“废除，抛弃，摆脱”。故选C。
D
If you sit down to play an old-school board game like chess this holiday season, it might be surprising to keep in mind just how bad you'd be against a computer. In fact, computers have shown they're capable of taking humans' lunch money at board games for a while now. Remember Deep Blue versus Gary Kasparov in 1997 or AlphaGo against Lee Sedol, in South Korea, at the game of Go(围棋), in 2016?The computer won.
Now, the same team that created the Go-playing robot is celebrating something more powerful: an artificial intelligence system that is capable of teaching itself and winning at three different games.
They call it AlphaZero, and it knows two kinds of chess and Go. All of these games fall into the kind of “full information” or “perfect information” contests-each player can see the entire board and has access to the same information. That's different from games like poker, for example, where you don't know what cards an opponent is holding.
“AlphaZero needs to be told the rules of the games first, and after that, it learns by competing with itself in the games,” says Julian Schrittwieser."It suggests that we have a good chance to extend this to even more real-world problems that we might want to solve later."
And board games have historically been a good way to test computers' abilities. “It took us decades of work on these games to reach the point where AlphaZero can perform them better than people,” Campbell says. “I think they've served the field very well. They've allowed us to explore techniques such as the ones used in AlphaZero, which will be helpful as the field aims at more complex tasks.” Campbell adds. “And that is the whole point in the first place of solving games-it isn't for their own sake, but for it is a limited kind of environment where we can make progress in many other branches of science and technology.”
12. What's the author's main purpose in mentioning the two games in paragraph 1?
A. To show computers are bad at playing board games,
B. To prove computers can defeat humans at board games.
C. To emphasize humans are capable of playing computer games.
D. To demonstrate people can earn money by playing board games.
13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The operating principle of AlphaZero. B. The differences between chess and Go.
C. The information about hi-tech contests. D. The features of the games AlphaZero knows.
14. How can AlphaZero learn in the games?
A. By playing the games against itself. B. By playing multiple online games.
C. By being programmed by humans. D. By setting the rules of the games.
15. What does Campbell say about board games?
A. They help solve computers' problems.
B. They are used to test people's abilities.
C. Their techniques can be applied to other fields.
D. Their technology can be merely limited in games.
【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C
【解析】
本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了机器人AlphaZero的一些情况。这种人工智能能够在各种棋类比赛中战胜人类，能够自我学习，人们将把这种技术应用到其他领域。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句The computer won. 可知电脑赢了。由此可推知，作者提及这两个比赛是为了证明电脑可以在棋类游戏中战胜人类。故选B。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中All of these games fall into the kind of “full information” or “perfect information” contests-each player can see the entire board and has access to the same information. That's different from games like poker, for example, where you don't know what cards an opponent is holding.可知所有这些游戏都属于“完全信息”或“完全信息”的竞赛——每个玩家都可以看到整个棋盘并获得相同的信息。这与扑克等游戏不同，比如你不知道对手拿的是什么牌。可知第二三句都是围绕第一句中的“AlphaZero知道象棋和围棋”展开阐述。由此可知，本段主要讲AlphaZero所知道的游戏的特点。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第一句 “AlphaZero needs to be told the rules of the games first, and after that, it learns by competing with itself in the games,” says Julian Schrittwieser.可知“AlphaZero需要首先被告知游戏规则，然后，它通过在游戏中与自己竞争来学习，”Julian Schrittwieser说。由此可知，AlphaZero是通过在游戏中与自己比赛来学习。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“And that is the whole point in the first place of solving games-it isn't for their own sake, but for it is a limited kind of environment where we can make progress in many other branches of science and technology.”可知“这就是解决游戏的首要意义所在——不是为了游戏本身，而是因为这是一种有限的环境，我们可以在其中的许多其他科学和技术领域取得进步。”由此可推知，Campbell这种棋类游戏技术可以应用到其他科技领域。故选C。

这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了企鹅是一种神奇的鸟类以及其生活区域、外形等信息。
【41题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意：它是在每年的4月25日庆祝。根据every year可知，时态是一般现在时，且主语是It，与celebrate之间是动宾关系，因此要用被动语态。故填is celebrated。
【42题详解】

【43题详解】
考查介词+which引导的定语从句。句意：企鹅主要生活在南半球，而大多数人把企鹅和南极洲联系在一起，因为企鹅在那里分布得更广。根据介词in可知，此处要用which，构成由in which引导的限制性定语从句，先行词是Antarctica，in which在定语从句中充当地点状语。故填which。
【44题详解】

【45题详解】
考查副词。句意：这种企鹅在进食时游泳，经常穿过赤道进入北半球。根据crosses可知，此处要用副词修饰谓语动词。故填regularly。
【46题详解】
考查名词的复数。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据years ago可知，此处要用数量词，millions of“数百外的”。故填millions。
【47题详解】
考查形容词。句意：企鹅在数百万年前就失去了飞翔的能力，但它们强有力的鳍状肢和流线型的身体使它们成为熟练的游泳者。根据swimmers可知，此处要用形容词作定语，修饰名词。故填skilled/ skillful/ skilful。

【49题详解】
考查副词的比较级。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。根据than they do in the air可知，此处要用副词的比较级来修饰动词work。故填better。
【50题详解】
考查不定式作目的状语。句意：企鹅的眼睛在水下比在空中工作得更好，这使它们在捕猎时能更好地发现猎物，即使在浑浊或黑暗的水中，或在湍急的水流中也是如此。此处要用不定式作目的状语，表示目的。故填to spot。

【分析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为一名中学生在假期里感觉一直玩会让自己感到空虚，因此设定一个小目标去完成。
【详解】1.考查介词。句意：作为一名学生，我的主要目标是好好学习，然后一步步地取得进步。短语step by step“逐步地，一步步地”是固定搭配。故将in改为by。
2. 考查动词时态。句意：众所周知，只工作不玩耍，聪明孩子也变傻。根据主语从句中的主语all和并列谓语and no play，可知,时态是一般现在时，此处要用动词的原形。故将works改为work。
3. 考查不定式作主语。句意：当假期来临的时候，是我玩的时候了，我通常很高兴。根据it is time for me 可知,此处是it作形式主语，真正的主语是不定式部分，to play作真正的主语。故将在play前加上to。
4. 考查副词。句意：然而，一直玩会让我感到空虚，因为我什么都没做。根据playing all the time makes me feel empty可知,此处要用表示转折的副词，修饰整个句子。故将Therefore改为However。
5. 考查代词。句意：我想做一些有意义的事情来丰富我的生活，所以我需要一个目标。根据形容词meaningful及句意可知,此处要用代词something。故将nothing改为something。
6. 考查动词的被动语态。句意：我想做一些有意义的事情来丰富我的生活，所以我需要一个目标。根据主语是a target，与need之间是动宾关系，要用被动语态，应用过去分词。故将needing改为needed。
7. 考查动名词。句意：我通常为自己设定一个小目标，例如，读书。根据for example可知，此处要用动名词形式。故将read改为reading。
8. 考查时间状语从句的引导词。every time“每次，每当”引导时间状语从句，when“在……时候，一……就……”也可以引导时间状语从句，因此when多余。故将when去掉。
9. 考查动词的时态。句意：每次当我完成我的目标，我感到很满足。根据I finish my target和全文可知，时态是一般现在时，且主语是I，此处要用动词的原形。故将felt改为feel。
10. 考查形容词。句意：真正有意义的生活是做一些有用的事情。根据名词things可知，此处要用形容词作定语修饰名词。故将usefully改为useful。
【点睛】第2和第9小题考查了一般现在时的用法。一般现在时的用法：
1.表示事物或人物的特征、状态。如：The sky is blue. 天空是蓝色的。
2.表示经常性或习惯性的动作。如：I get up at six every day. 我每天六点起床。
3.表示客观现实。如：The earth goes around the sun. 地球绕着太阳转。
一般现在时的结构：
1.be动词：主语+be(am/is/are)其它。如：I am a boy. 我是一个男孩。
2.行为动词：主语+行为动词（+其它）。如：We study English.我们学习英语。
