“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets and didn’t know where to go. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can’t stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words.
All the lights were off except Father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of walking quietly into my room in my sleep and then tucking(把……裹住) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love—is second to none.
33. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
34. What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
35. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
36. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. In fact, the father is kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.

D
Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, "How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers canonly work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (答复). So not only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki. He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register (注册) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in similar efforts.
Western Governors University or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to experiment with a new kind of chatbot. "We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. "We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (感情). They can't understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
37. Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot technology?
A. Schools want to serve the students better.
B. Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C. Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D. Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
38. Chatbots may work well in the following situations except ________.
A. when students want to know more about a school
B. when students are wondering how to register for classes
C. when students want to have two days off because of illness
D. when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
39. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B. A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C. A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D. Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.
【答案】37. C 38. D 39. A 40. C
【解析】
【分析】聊天机器人已经成为世界各地银行和大公司的常用工具，降低成本和响应时间是学校和公司转向这项技术的主要原因之一，但是聊天机器人还不能用人类的方式交流，无法处理人的情绪；WGU要研发一个可以帮助学生做出决策的聊天机器人。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.”可知降低成本和响应时间是学校和公司转向这项技术的主要原因之一，许多学校的目的是寻找更好地为学生服务的方法，因为学生习惯于通过Facebook或微信进行在线交流，不是习惯于和聊天机器人交流，故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register for classes to helping them ask for a few days off”和第六段“, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions”可知聊天机器人，它可以做任何事情，从帮助学生注册课程到帮助他们请假几天，但聊天机器人无法处理情绪，故选D。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."我们并不是要创造一个能回答简单问题的机器人，我们正在尝试创建一个聊天机器人，可以帮助学生做出决策，根据文句表达的逻辑关系，推断空格指并不是每个人都愿意考虑这种技术带来的可能性；故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students." WGU要研发一个可以帮助学生做出决策的聊天机器人，由此推断可能会出现帮助学生做决定的新的聊天机器人，故选C。

There is no need to use the professional staff to fix this problem because, in most cases, it is possible to do it on your own. If you feel your living room uncomfortably small, you can follow some tips to make it seem bigger.
Clean up the mess. Do not use more than three pieces of any type of decorations, for example, flower vases. Cut down the number of items displayed on the floor, such as house plants. Place as many of them as possible on the shelves.
Choose a small dining table. You can move and put away small tables in other rooms when they are not needed, and this can help to make the living room appear more spacious(宽敞的). And a new kind of furniture has appeared. The newly-designed furniture takes up very little space and makes a room look spacious. It is a very nice design.
Place a large wall mirror. If you have a good wall that you are thinking about using to decorate, try finding a large wall mirror that you can place there and see if it can make your living room look larger.
Choose bright colors or light ones instead of dark colors when treating the walls, avoid dark colored wallpaper, which can make the room seem even smaller. Consider using one color theme in two neighboring rooms that are in the same line of sight. If you want to make a room look bigger, try painting it blue. It seems to push the walls back.

【56题详解】
根据“Cut down the number of items displayed on the floor, such as house plants. Place as many of them as possible on the shelves.”可知，把室内植物放在架子上，减少地板上的物品数量，这里用名词复数。故填shelves。

根据“Choose a small dining table. You can move and put away small tables in other rooms when they are not needed, and this can help to make the living room appear more spacious.”可知，当不需要小桌子时，你可以移动到其他房间并将它们放好，这有助于使客厅看起来更宽敞。此处表示桌子可以移动，句子是情态动词的被动语态，结构为：情态动词+be+done。故填moved。

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
But now... I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always puts his opinions and codes of behaviour on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered in the streets and didn’t know where to go. My heart was cold on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights with me. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.
I thought to myself: “Is Father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”
Perhaps, Dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can’t stand his outrageous (蛮横的) words.
All the lights were off except Father’s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of walking quietly into my room in my sleep and then tucking(把……裹住) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist (存在) at all. Love—is second to none.
33. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father’s kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b-e-d-c-a B. b-e-c-d-a C. b-e-a-c-d D. b-e-c-a-d
34. What made the writer think of his childhood?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms.
D. The sight of light in his own house.
35. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. Perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. Perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. Perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. Perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
36. What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. In fact, the father is kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault (过错) with his son.

Imagine you are thinking about entering a senior high school, but have questions. So you go to the school's website to find answers. A message appears on your computer and says, "How can I help?" You are not communicating with a human being, but a chatbot. It is using artificial intelligence (AI) to communicate with you. This might sound strange, but in recent years, chatbots have become an usual tool for banks and large companies around the world.
Having workers answer people's questions and complaints can be expensive. And workers canonly work several hours a day, making customers wait longer for a response (答复). So not only companies, but more schools have also begun using chatbot technology, says Keith Rajecki. He is with Oracle Higher Education, a computer software company that serves these institutions.
Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.
Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register (注册) for classes to helping them ask for a few days off. Oracle is not the only company working on chatbot technology. Businesses like AdmitHub and Ivy.ai are involved in similar efforts.
Western Governors University or WGU, also received a $750,000 award to experiment with a new kind of chatbot. "We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions," said Jason Leven, the director of WGU Labs. "We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."
Ian Jacobs is with the market research company Forrester. He suggests that technology like chatbots can work well if it is able to do what users ask of it. Jacobs says the problem will appear when cost cutting becomes an important reason for using the technology. This means schools and companies are more likely to try using chatbots for things they are not yet able to do, such as communicating in the way humans do. For one thing, there are hundreds of ways to word even simple requests. For another, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions (感情). They can't understand how humans feel, not to speak of comforting (安慰) them.
37. Which of the following is not the reason why more schools are turning to chatbot technology?
A. Schools want to serve the students better.
B. Chatbot technology can help schools save money.
C. Students are used to communicating with chatbots.
D. Chatbot technology makes students wait shorter for a response.
38. Chatbots may work well in the following situations except ________.
A. when students want to know more about a school
B. when students are wondering how to register for classes
C. when students want to have two days off because of illness
D. when students are in need of some help because a parent dies
39. The following sentence would best be placed at the end of ________. However, not everyone is ready to consider the possibilities this kind of technology presents.
A. Paragraph 5 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 3 D. Paragraph 2
40. What can we infer from the passage?
A. A chatbot is able to do whatever users ask of it.
B. A chatbot is a kind of completely new technology using AI.
C. A new chatbot may appear to help students to make decisions.
D. Chatbot technology has been used in both schools and companies.

【分析】聊天机器人已经成为世界各地银行和大公司的常用工具，降低成本和响应时间是学校和公司转向这项技术的主要原因之一，但是聊天机器人还不能用人类的方式交流，无法处理人的情绪；WGU要研发一个可以帮助学生做出决策的聊天机器人。
【37题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Rajecki notes that reducing costs and response time is one of the main reasons why schools and companies are turning to this technology. However, the purpose of many schools is to find ways to better serve students, since students are used to communicating online through Facebook or WeChat, says Rajecki.”可知降低成本和响应时间是学校和公司转向这项技术的主要原因之一，许多学校的目的是寻找更好地为学生服务的方法，因为学生习惯于通过Facebook或微信进行在线交流，不是习惯于和聊天机器人交流，故选C。
【38题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Now Oracle is offering many schools a chatbot which can do everything from helping students register for classes to helping them ask for a few days off”和第六段“, chatbots aren't able to deal with emotions”可知聊天机器人，它可以做任何事情，从帮助学生注册课程到帮助他们请假几天，但聊天机器人无法处理情绪，故选D。
【39题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students."我们并不是要创造一个能回答简单问题的机器人，我们正在尝试创建一个聊天机器人，可以帮助学生做出决策，根据文句表达的逻辑关系，推断空格指并不是每个人都愿意考虑这种技术带来的可能性；故选A。
【40题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“We're not trying to create a bot that answers simple questions…We're trying to create a chatbot that can help decision making for students." WGU要研发一个可以帮助学生做出决策的聊天机器人，由此推断可能会出现帮助学生做决定的新的聊天机器人，故选C。

And a new kind of furniture has appeared. The newly-designed furniture takes up very little space and makes a room look spacious. It is a very nice design.
Place a large wall mirror. If you have a good wall that you are thinking about using to decorate, try finding a large wall mirror that you can place there and see if it can make your living room look larger.
Choose bright colors or light ones instead of dark colors when treating the walls, avoid dark colored wallpaper, which can make the room seem even smaller.

八、完成句子 按所给的汉语，用英语完成下列句子。（本大题共6分，每小题1分）
60. 过马路时再怎么小心也不为过。
You _________________________________ when you are getting across the street.
【答案】can’t be too careful
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】“再怎么……也不为过”意为“can’t … too …”；“小心”意为“careful”，为形容词，谓语动词应该使用系动词be。故填can’t be too careful。
61. 你能告诉我如何在工作和玩耍之间取得平衡吗？
Could you tell me _________________________________ work and play?
【答案】how to achieve a balance between
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】疑问词加动词不定式可以作宾语，how to achieve a balance怎么实现平衡；between…and…在……和……之间，故填how to achieve a balance between。
62. 令我惊讶的是，你放弃了校足球队的选拔。
________, you gave up ________ the school football team.
【答案】 ①. To my surprise ②. trying out for
【解析】
【详解】to one’s surprise“令某人惊讶的是”，my“我的”；give up doing sth“放弃做某事”；try out for“参加选拔”，故填To my surprise；trying out for。
63. 当有事情令你担忧的时候，不要把它藏在自己心里。
When something ________, don’t ________.
【答案】 ① worries you ②. keep it to yourself
【解析】
【详解】“when”引导的时间状语从句是一般现在时，主语是不定代词“something”，是单数概念，表达“担忧”用三单形式“worries”，宾语是“你”，用人称代词的宾格“you”。表达“不要做某事”是祈使句的否定形式，用“don’t+动词原形”的结构。表达“藏在自己心里”用短语“keep sth. to oneself”。表达“它”用人称代词的宾格“it”，表达“自己”用反身代词“yourself”。故填worries you；keep it to yourself。
64. 我们该注意哪些方面来使我们的发音更棒？
Which ways should we ________ better?
【答案】pay attention to to make our pronunciation
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】注意：pay attention to，动词短语；should，情态动词，后加动词原形；使：make；我们的发音：our pronunciation；根据句意，“来使我们的发音更棒”是作目的状语，应用动词不定式来表达，其构成形式为：to do。故填pay attention to to make our pronunciation。
65. 他掩面而泣，并未察觉到那个与我们同龄的孩子。
He cried with his face covered, not taking ________.
【答案】notice of the kid of our age
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】根据中英文对比可知，空格处应填意为“察觉到那个与我们同龄的孩子”的短语。take notice of为固定搭配，意为“注意、察觉”，the kid of our age意为“与我们同龄的孩子”，故填notice of the kid of our age。
