(限时35分钟)

Ⅰ. 阅读理解

A

We’ve heard of robots and AI(Artificial Intelligence)taking human jobs,  but I bet mayors(市长)don’t really think their jobs can be threatened any time soon.  They were wrong,  and the AI running for the mayor of a Tokyo district was clear proof of that.

AI can’t legally run for high-ranking public management positions yet,  but one mayoral candidate from Tama City,  Tokyo,  intended to maximize the use of Artificial Intelligence in running city affairs.  He was running his campaign (竞选运动) as “AI Mayor”.  Basically,  he was suggesting replacing human public officials with AI and having them collect city data and create fair and balanced policies that will benefit everyone.

“For the first time in the world,  AI will run in an election, ” human candidate Michihito Matsuda announced on Twitter.  “Artificial Intelligence will change Toma City.  With the birth of an AI Mayor,  we will conduct balanced policies. ”

The AI Mayor was campaigning very much like its human competitors.  Posters were shown all over Tama City and campaign trucks were blaring out(大声鸣响)promises of an AI utopia (乌托邦)and asking for support.

Some people called Michihito Matsuda’s campaign a stunt (噱头),  as a human would still be the one legally in charge.  However,  others said that they were excited about the future of AI running things in the background,  adding that it had to be a better choice.

Imagine jet-setting from Tokyo to Paris,  enjoying first-class travel,  a four-course dinner and a city tour —all without leaving the ground. This is the future of air travel according to Japanese company First Airlines,  which has used the power of virtual reality to create dream vacations.

Passengers avoid the costly airport transfer,  the baggage fees or busy airport terminal(航站楼)—and instead enjoy the privileges of business or first-class travel and an expensive tour of Paris—all while remaining motionless in Tokyo. As well as Paris,  First Airlines also offers the virtual destinations of New York,  Rome and Hawaii.

After boarding,  guests can settle down for the two-hour flight on their advanced Airbus seat—surrounded by decoration that is modeled on the inside of an aircraft,  for maximum realism. There is flight service and VR,  foods,  music for every destination. Passengers will be served a delicious meal by air stewards,  alongside drinks and other desserts. The menu depends on the destination of choice—Manhattan clam chowder and cheesecake for New York and salmon tartar and onion soup for Paris. After landing at the destination,  guests can enjoy a 360-degree tour of the destination—all thanks to projection(投影)mapping and video.

It makes for a supposedly stress-free vacation,  perfect for those whose ability to travel abroad is limited by cost or health. Virtual reality is becoming increasingly present everywhere at all times in the world of travel—allowing travelers to appreciate the wonders of the world,  all without leaving their house.

At just 4, 980 yen($46)for business class and 5, 980 yen($56)for first class—these two-hour flights are far more affordable than their real-life flights. Tokyo citizens eager to experience First Airlines can book a trip on the website,  with reservations currently being taken until May 2020.

【文章大意】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者成立了一个名为“绿色星球”的学生社团。刚开始作者被嘲笑, 但是作者并没有放弃, 而是很努力地去让大家接受和认可“绿色星球”的学生社团, 学生社团最终被学校的大多数学生所接受, 作者成功了。

1. 【解析】named。 考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知, a student club与name在逻辑上是被动关系, 所以用过去分词named作后置定语。故填 named。

2. 【解析】was laughed。 考查时态和语态。本句为一般过去时, 主语I 与谓语laugh之间为被动关系, 所以用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was laughed。

3. 【解析】pollution。考查名词。serious为形容词修饰名词pollution。故填 pollution。

4. 【解析】on/about。考查介词。分析句子可知, 本句缺少介词, 后接how to live a low carbon life on the school board作宾语。分析句意可知, 空处所要填的介词表示“关于”, 所以介词为on/about。故填on/about。

5. 【解析】less。考查形容词比较级。根据上文内容可知此处指的是: 提倡购物也要比以往的要少, 故用little的比较级less修饰shopping。故填 less。

8. 【解析】to promote。考查非谓语动词。此处为动词不定式作目的状语。句意: 从那以后, 我们一起努力推广我们的社团。故填to promote。

9. 【解析】have joined。考查时态。由“up to now”可知, 本句为现在完成时, 主语为85% of the students, 所以谓语为have joined。故填have joined。

10. 【解析】a。考查冠词。句意: 这就是乔伊, 一个有责任心、执着的女孩。girl为可数名词, 被responsible所修饰且responsible的首字母的发音为辅音音素, 所以用不定冠词a来修饰。故填a。
