本文是一篇说明文。文章通过介绍有关经历失败而获得成功的人物故事的四本书旨在告诉我们——失败乃成功之母。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三个小标题下面的最后一句“In this book, Reynolds writes about various common men, women and children.”可知,《梦幻般的失败》这本书讲述的是普通人的故事。故选B项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In 1853, it took at least a week to relay a message between the United States and Europe…Cyrus Field tried to reduce that transmission ((传送) time to just minutes…Field suffered before he achieved this major breakthrough.”可知,1853年,至少花了一周时间在美国和欧洲之间传递一个信息……Cyrus Field试图将信息的传输时间缩短到几分钟……Field在实现这一重大突破之前受了很多苦。由此可推知,Cyrus Field在通信领域取得了重大突破。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,尤其根据文中“Authors Slader and Thompson focus on life-or-death scenes, such as when the Wright brothers crashed their sailplane over and over on the sandy coast of North Carolina: it took them two more years to get it right.”,比如莱特兄弟驾驶的滑翔机一次又一次坠毁在北卡罗来纳州的沙滩上:他们花了两年多的时间才把事情弄清楚“Our first attempt was a failure. Still we didn't give up. We tried again. And again.”我们的第一次尝试失败了。但我们并没有放弃。我们再次尝试。“person actually had to face huge challenges to accomplish goals”为了实现目标,人们实际上不得不面对巨大的挑战“Field suffered before he achieved this major breakthrough.”菲尔德在取得这一重大突破之前遭了很多的罪。可知,文中介绍的四本书的内容都是有关经历失败而获得成功的人物故事。由此判断出我们能从四书中学到,失败乃成功之母。故选C项。

Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received. When you pay it forward, however,you don't repay the person who did something nice for you. Instead, you do something nice for someone else.
Recently, an inspiring note found inside a random book has inspired thousands of people to pay it forward.
Ashley Jost was shopping at Target when a book caught hex eye. The 27-year-old bought the book Girl Stop Apologizing and began reading it when she got home. After a few minutes her dog started barking so she put the book aside. When she got back, she noticed something on the ground. "A five-dollar note fell out, " Jost said.
She looked through the book, and in one of the last pages, there was a note that read, “To the person who buys this book: I am having a tough day. I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise. Go and buy a coffee, a hamburger or a face mask. Practice some self care today. Remember that you are loved, you are amazing, and you are strong -Lisa”
Jost decided to post a photo of the note and the money on Twitter and it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness.
“In that moment,I didn’t necessarily need the pick-me-up,but I feel obligated(有义务)to share it, and I’m hearing back from people who did,” Jost said. “The ripple effect is pretty unbelievable.
After seeing her Twitter post, Lisa mailed Jost a card. "She said it made her cry in a good way,” Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address. Lisa wrote it had been a difficult time in her life and she just wanted "to create something positive-she never really expected this to happen the way it has.”
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The origin of"paying it forward". B. The effects of"paying it forward
C. The benefits of"paying it forward" D. The definition of"paying it forward".
5. Why did Lisa put a five-dollar note in a book?
A. To go through the hardest time in her life.
B. To cheer up the person who buys the book
C. To repay the person who did something nice
D. To set off a round of paying it forward
6. What does the underlined word "ripple" in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Edge B. Chain
C. Mass D. Side
7. Lisa posted a card to Jost to ___________.
A. make friends with Jost B. tell Jost about her story

【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Jost无意当中在她买的书中发现了一张5美元的纸币和一段振奋人心的留言。她把纸币和留言的照片发到推特上,而后引发了连锁反应,很多人承诺也要通过这种方式把善意传递下去。
【4题详解】
段落大意题题。根据第一段中的“Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received.”可知,预付款是这样一个概念:包括为某人做一些好事,以回应代表你做的好事或你收到的礼物。由此可知,第一段讲述了“预付款”的定义。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To the person who buys this book …I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise.”可知,Lisa在一本书中放了一张5美元的钞票,以使买书的人高兴起来。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness”和第六段中的“but I feel obligated to share it”可知,人们承诺他们自己的善举是随机的,“我”觉得有义务去跟别人分享它。所以让善意传递下去的行为就像病毒一样延续,即连锁的。由此可知,划线词所在句表示“这种连锁反应是出乎意料的”,所以划线词ripple与B项的chain意思相近。edge effect意为“边缘效应”;chain effect意为“连锁效应”;mass effect意为“质量反应”;side effect意为“副作用”故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She said it made her cry in a good way,’ Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address.”可知,Lisa匿名给Jost寄了一张卡片,并没有写回信地址,说Jost看到卡片后会让她热泪盈眶。由此可推知,Lisa给Jost寄卡片以表达对Jost的谢意。故选C项。

What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera? There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colorful images featuring their favorite people, places and things. Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love,” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators (馆长) who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective (视角) showing a different story than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated (协调) the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.
A curator is someone who collects, organizes, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their photos according to different themes.
8. What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition?
A. It promoted the students’ interest in museum management.
B. It reflected the diverse life from the students’ perspective.
C. It was established by Lauryn Tharpe and Maame Bawuah.
D. It exhibited photos featuring influential things and figure.
9. Why does the author mention Everyday Africa?
A. To introduce how Everyday DC came about.
B. To highlight Everyday Africa’s popularity.

D. To show the widespread influence of Instagram.
10. What are the four curators required to do for the project?
A. Decorate the photographs on display.
B. Study professional photography skills.
C. Find fault with the submitted photos.
D. Group the photographs by theme.
11. What is the best title for the text?

A mind-reading chip that lets you control a computer by just thinking has been made public at a conference in China. Named Brain Talker, the chip could be used to control computers, smart phones and other devices, its creators say. It has been jointly developed by Tianjin University and China Electronics Corporation.
This kind of brain-computer interface (接口) is designed to let a person control a computer, a smartphone or other electronic devices using his/her brainwaves alone-without needing any forms of verbal orders, movements, or button pressing. Brain interfaces would not only allow for the faster operation of various technologies, but also be used to assist people with disabilities, for example by letting an individual drive an electric wheelchair just by thinking.
“Brain-computer interfaces hold a promising future,” said Dong Ming. "The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public.
The brain decoding (解码) chip works by picking out minor neural (神经) electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand. “This brain-computer chip has the ability to identify minor neural electrical signals and decode their information efficiently, which can greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of brain-computer interfaces,” said Dr. Dong.
Recent technology advances have allowed researchers to develop the Brain Talker chip, so it is smaller and operates faster, more precisely and with greater efficiency than existing brain-computer interfaces. Although it is not clear exactly how the device will be worn, most brain-computer interface devices are worn on the outside of the body, rather than being fixed directly into the users’ brain. Cheng Longlong, a data scientist, said that the research team will attempt to improve the performance of the Brain Talker. One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.
12. Why do the creators develop the Brain Talker?
A. To improve the quality of a smartphone
B. To create more efficient electronic devices
C. To make the computer portable and accessible
D. To assist people to faster drive electronic devices
13. What does Dr Dong expect of the Brain Talker?
A. It has an uncertain future B. It can record people's brainwaves
C. It can be widely used by the public D. It will advance public entertainment
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. How the chip controls computer.
B. How the brain works with a computer.
C. How the brain processes information
D. How the chip picks out neural electrical signals.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The chip will be worn inside the users’ body
B. It's too challenging to improve the Brain Talk
C. The performance of the Brain Talker is satisfying
D. Some patients will benefit from the Brain Talker
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Teach Children the Value of Money
As we're moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular, children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use. Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.
____16____ Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget. Then, research what things you will buy, work out which items may be better to buy. As you carry out each part of the activity, make sure to save all the receipts, and then evaluate if you managed to stay within, or broke your budget. _______17_______
Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money. _______18_______ For example, 14-year-olds are often making their own beds, so introducing a reward for such a "chore" is not a good idea, however, emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old. These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time, effort and money. Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest. _______19_______
Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children, is not only much more enjoyable for your children, but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings, interest rates, or allowances. _____20_____ That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.
A. That is one of the most important factors for learning.
B. Involve them in everyday money management activities.
C. This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.
D. Giving your child regular pocket money, big enough to cover basic wants.
E. They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.
F. Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.
G. This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. E

【16题详解】
前一句说到,教育孩子金钱管理和建立良好的金钱习惯变得更加重要。下一句说,从和孩子一起计划一个活动,制定一个预算开始。可知此空承上启下,应该表示通过使孩子参与到相关活动中,教育他们进行金钱管理。故选B。
17题详解】
根据此空前一句:当你们实施活动的每一部分时,确保留下所有的收据,然后评价你们是否成功做到(花费)在预算之内,还是超出了预算。可以看出这个过程对准确地进行预算有帮助。此空承接上文,因此,应该表示这么做的好处是什么。故选G。
【18题详解】
此空前一句建议让孩子做家务,然后给他们零花钱。此空后一句举例,14岁的孩子常常整理自己的床铺,因此为这样的家务提供奖励不是一个好主意,然而,清空、整理洗碗机可能对9岁的孩子刚好合适。此空承上启下,应该表示建议孩子承担什么样的家务,根据下一句可知,稍微超出孩子本可以做到的家务是好的。故选F。
【19题详解】
由前文可知,稍微有难度的家务可以帮助孩子理解赚钱的意义和时间、努力与金钱之间的关系。要通过鼓励教育孩子,为他们根据自己的好奇心和兴趣采取行动创造条件(铺平道路)。此空承接上文,因此,此空应该解释这种做法对学习金钱管理的意义。故选A。
【20题详解】
此空前一句讲到,和孩子一起实施活动,做任务,对孩子们来说不仅是一种享受,也帮助他们变得更加自信,使他们能果敢地决定有关存款、利率或者免税额的问题。此空承接上文,应该继续讲这个方法对培养孩子金钱管理方面的好处。故选E。

The doctors sent my mother home to die. As a fifteen-year survivor of breast cancer she had suffered two heart attacks when advanced cancer was found in her lung. The doctor told me sadly, "She has a few days, maybe a week. Her heart is weak and unstable. "Mom had struggled to raise three daughters while holding a full-time job, yet worked hard to maintain a warm home for her family. My plan for Mom’s final days was simple: she would live with love, and die with grace.
I took mother to my home, small but comfortable, which was a heaven to four cats and a dog. The animals had the run of my house. We equipped the bedroom with an electric hospital bed and an oxygen machine, which frightened the cats. I’d moved their furniture and the cats were annoyed. The dog, on the other hand, an immature dog with bad habits, was excited by all the changes in the house. He jumped up, barking. He is Otto who was not afraid of the hospital bed, the oxygen machine or the medical smells. Nor was he afraid of the weak woman who had scolded him. Otto jumped onto the foot of Mom's hospital bed, and stayed. With the exception of eating and using the litter box, Otto never left Mom's room.
Days passed and Mom started to rally. “Not unusual,” I was told, “a rally is often a sign of imminent death(回光返照)” I was heart-broken. But Otto would not give her up so easily. He used her improved condition to reposition himself from the foot of her bed to her side. Her thin fingers found his soft coat. He leaned into her body, as if holding tight the strings of her will to live. Though weak, she petted the dog and would not allowed me to take him. Days turned into weeks and Mom continued to fight.
Paragraph 1
Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. __ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. I found her with the head of the bed raised, reading from the newspaper, with Otto in her arms, listening adoringly. I will forever cherish the memory of Otto’s touching her face. Eventually, using a walker, Mom began to take walks through the house, followed by Otto. Where she rested, Otto rested. Where she moved, Otto shadowed. Somehow, Otto knew that during those days he became her dog child, giving her life purpose.
Paragraph 2: Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. When we saw the doctor a while ago, “I can’t believe it, Lula,” he said. “I can’t find your cancer and your heart is strong. When your daughter brought you to me, I thought you were a ship that had sailed.” Mom gives the credit to Otto, who continues to share his gift of love―a medicine more powerful than any drug a doctor could prescribe.

细节理解题。根据第三个小标题下面的最后一句“In this book, Reynolds writes about various common men, women and children.”可知,《梦幻般的失败》这本书讲述的是普通人的故事。故选B项。
【2题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In 1853, it took at least a week to relay a message between the United States and Europe…Cyrus Field tried to reduce that transmission ((传送) time to just minutes…Field suffered before he achieved this major breakthrough.”可知,1853年,至少花了一周时间在美国和欧洲之间传递一个信息……Cyrus Field试图将信息的传输时间缩短到几分钟……Field在实现这一重大突破之前受了很多苦。由此可推知,Cyrus Field在通信领域取得了重大突破。故选A项。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,尤其根据文中“Authors Slader and Thompson focus on life-or-death scenes, such as when the Wright brothers crashed their sailplane over and over on the sandy coast of North Carolina: it took them two more years to get it right.”,比如莱特兄弟驾驶的滑翔机一次又一次坠毁在北卡罗来纳州的沙滩上:他们花了两年多的时间才把事情弄清楚“Our first attempt was a failure. Still we didn't give up. We tried again. And again.”我们的第一次尝试失败了。但我们并没有放弃。我们再次尝试。“person actually had to face huge challenges to accomplish goals”为了实现目标,人们实际上不得不面对巨大的挑战“Field suffered before he achieved this major breakthrough.”菲尔德在取得这一重大突破之前遭了很多的罪。可知,文中介绍的四本书的内容都是有关经历失败而获得成功的人物故事。由此判断出我们能从四书中学到,失败乃成功之母。故选C项。

Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received. When you pay it forward, however,you don't repay the person who did something nice for you. Instead, you do something nice for someone else.
Recently, an inspiring note found inside a random book has inspired thousands of people to pay it forward.
Ashley Jost was shopping at Target when a book caught hex eye. The 27-year-old bought the book Girl Stop Apologizing and began reading it when she got home. After a few minutes her dog started barking so she put the book aside. When she got back, she noticed something on the ground. "A five-dollar note fell out, " Jost said.
She looked through the book, and in one of the last pages, there was a note that read, “To the person who buys this book: I am having a tough day. I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise. Go and buy a coffee, a hamburger or a face mask. Practice some self care today. Remember that you are loved, you are amazing, and you are strong -Lisa”
Jost decided to post a photo of the note and the money on Twitter and it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness.
“In that moment,I didn’t necessarily need the pick-me-up,but I feel obligated(有义务)to share it, and I’m hearing back from people who did,” Jost said. “The ripple effect is pretty unbelievable.
After seeing her Twitter post, Lisa mailed Jost a card. "She said it made her cry in a good way,” Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address. Lisa wrote it had been a difficult time in her life and she just wanted "to create something positive-she never really expected this to happen the way it has.”
4. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. The origin of"paying it forward". B. The effects of"paying it forward
C. The benefits of"paying it forward" D. The definition of"paying it forward".
5. Why did Lisa put a five-dollar note in a book?
A. To go through the hardest time in her life.
B. To cheer up the person who buys the book
C. To repay the person who did something nice
D. To set off a round of paying it forward
6. What does the underlined word "ripple" in Paragraph 6 mean?
A. Edge B. Chain
C. Mass D. Side
7. Lisa posted a card to Jost to ___________.
A. make friends with Jost B. tell Jost about her story
C. express appreciation to Jost D. let Jost know what made her cry
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. B 7. C
【解析】
本文是一篇记叙文。本文主要讲述了Jost无意当中在她买的书中发现了一张5美元的纸币和一段振奋人心的留言。她把纸币和留言的照片发到推特上,而后引发了连锁反应,很多人承诺也要通过这种方式把善意传递下去。
【4题详解】
段落大意题题。根据第一段中的“Paying it forward is a concept that involves doing something good for someone in response to a good deed done on your behalf or a gift you received.”可知,预付款是这样一个概念:包括为某人做一些好事,以回应代表你做的好事或你收到的礼物。由此可知,第一段讲述了“预付款”的定义。故选D项。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“To the person who buys this book …I thought maybe I could brighten someone else’s with this little surprise.”可知,Lisa在一本书中放了一张5美元的钞票,以使买书的人高兴起来。故选B项。
【6题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第五段中的“it went like a virus. People are promising their own random acts of kindness”和第六段中的“but I feel obligated to share it”可知,人们承诺他们自己的善举是随机的,“我”觉得有义务去跟别人分享它。所以让善意传递下去的行为就像病毒一样延续,即连锁的。由此可知,划线词所在句表示“这种连锁反应是出乎意料的”,所以划线词ripple与B项的chain意思相近。edge effect意为“边缘效应”;chain effect意为“连锁效应”;mass effect意为“质量反应”;side effect意为“副作用”故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“She said it made her cry in a good way,’ Jost said. But Lisa still didn’t give away who she was. She left no return address.”可知,Lisa匿名给Jost寄了一张卡片,并没有写回信地址,说Jost看到卡片后会让她热泪盈眶。由此可推知,Lisa给Jost寄卡片以表达对Jost的谢意。故选C项。

What will you get if you ask middle schoolers to show you their city through a camera? There may be images of flowers and friends, street scenes and sneakers, and trees and trains. It can also include colorful images featuring their favorite people, places and things. Such photographs made up an exhibition that was the end result of a special citywide photography lesson called “Everyday DC”.
“DC is a place where people can all come together and be free and be with everyone that they love,” said Lauryn Tharpe, one of the four student curators (馆长) who worked with their art teacher at Brookland Middle School to put the exhibition together. “There’s more to DC than big buildings and important people.”
“Everyday DC” was inspired by a popular Instagram feed called Everyday Africa, which was started by two professional photographers who noticed the personal photos of Africa, from their perspective (视角) showing a different story than their professional work. The goal of the online photo “exhibition” was to show viewers what it’s like to live in Africa, as opposed to what people outside of Africa see in the news.
In Washington DC, students took photos to reflect their lives there. Twelve middle schools each submitted about 10 student photographs, from beautiful portraits to action shots and images of the students’ favorite foods. Tharpe and another three students were selected to be curators by their art teacher, Maame Bawuah, who coordinated (协调) the project for DC Public Schools.
“I have a lot of amazing students, although the four of them are quite exceptional,” said Bawuah, who chose the students to be curators because of their interest in both photography and museum management.
A curator is someone who collects, organizes, cares for and displays anything in a collection. To get ready for the exhibition, the curators had to take care of many tasks, including taking their photos according to different themes.
8. What do we know about the “Everyday DC” exhibition?
A. It promoted the students’ interest in museum management.
B. It reflected the diverse life from the students’ perspective.
C. It was established by Lauryn Tharpe and Maame Bawuah.

D. To show the widespread influence of Instagram.
10. What are the four curators required to do for the project?
A. Decorate the photographs on display.
B. Study professional photography skills.
C. Find fault with the submitted photos.
D. Group the photographs by theme.
11. What is the best title for the text?

A mind-reading chip that lets you control a computer by just thinking has been made public at a conference in China. Named Brain Talker, the chip could be used to control computers, smart phones and other devices, its creators say. It has been jointly developed by Tianjin University and China Electronics Corporation.
This kind of brain-computer interface (接口) is designed to let a person control a computer, a smartphone or other electronic devices using his/her brainwaves alone-without needing any forms of verbal orders, movements, or button pressing. Brain interfaces would not only allow for the faster operation of various technologies, but also be used to assist people with disabilities, for example by letting an individual drive an electric wheelchair just by thinking.
“Brain-computer interfaces hold a promising future,” said Dong Ming. "The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public.
The brain decoding (解码) chip works by picking out minor neural (神经) electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand. “This brain-computer chip has the ability to identify minor neural electrical signals and decode their information efficiently, which can greatly enhance the speed and accuracy of brain-computer interfaces,” said Dr. Dong.
Recent technology advances have allowed researchers to develop the Brain Talker chip, so it is smaller and operates faster, more precisely and with greater efficiency than existing brain-computer interfaces. Although it is not clear exactly how the device will be worn, most brain-computer interface devices are worn on the outside of the body, rather than being fixed directly into the users’ brain. Cheng Longlong, a data scientist, said that the research team will attempt to improve the performance of the Brain Talker. One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.
12. Why do the creators develop the Brain Talker?
A. To improve the quality of a smartphone
B. To create more efficient electronic devices
C. To make the computer portable and accessible
D. To assist people to faster drive electronic devices
13. What does Dr Dong expect of the Brain Talker?
A. It has an uncertain future B. It can record people's brainwaves
C. It can be widely used by the public D. It will advance public entertainment
14. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?
A. How the chip controls computer.
B. How the brain works with a computer.
C. How the brain processes information
D. How the chip picks out neural electrical signals.
15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The chip will be worn inside the users’ body
B. It's too challenging to improve the Brain Talk
C. The performance of the Brain Talker is satisfying
D. Some patients will benefit from the Brain Talker
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】

【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“The brain decoding chip works by picking out minor neural electrical signals in the brain and rapidly translating them into a form that the computer can understand.”大脑解码芯片的工作原理是,从大脑中提取出微小的神经电信号,并迅速将其翻译成计算机能够理解的形式。可知本段主要介绍了Brain Talker这个产品芯片的工作原理,所以第四段的大意是芯片如何来控制电脑的。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“One day brain-computer codec chips will contribute to medical treatment, education, self-discipline, security as well as games and entertainment.”,可知芯片未来可以利用在医疗,教育等领域,所以推断一些患者会受益于Brain Talker。故选D项。
【点睛】在阅读文章中,作者常常让读者领会文章中不明确表达出来而暗含在其中的意思。这就需要读者在阅读过程中,在全面掌握文章所给出的信息的基础上,运用自己的知识认真思考问题,和领会作者的言外之意。这种从“已知”推出“未知”的过程,就是推论,是我们阅读过程中必须掌握的一种解题技巧。例如第二题从第三段 “a promising future和The Brain Talker chip advances brain-computer interface technology, allowing it to become more portable, wearable and accessible to the general public. ”Brain Talker芯片提高了大脑-电脑接口技术,使其变得更便携、更可穿戴、更便于大众使用。可推知Dr Dong对Brain Talker的期望是被公众广泛的接收和使用。故选 C项。

As we're moving towards a more cashless society and real pocket money is becoming increasingly unpopular, children increasingly no longer understand the value of physical money and simple tasks such as working out how many coins are needed to buy a toy or sweets will become out-of-use. Education around money management and establishing healthy money habits at a young age have become even more vital.
____16____ Start with planning an activity together and then define a budget. Then, research what things you will buy, work out which items may be better to buy. As you carry out each part of the activity, make sure to save all the receipts, and then evaluate if you managed to stay within, or broke your budget. _______17_______
Giving your children or encouraging them to suggest a regular chore can be rewarded with some pocket money. _______18_______ For example, 14-year-olds are often making their own beds, so introducing a reward for such a "chore" is not a good idea, however, emptying the dishwasher might be just right for a nine-year-old. These types of chores will help them to get an understanding of earning money and the relationship between time, effort and money. Educate children through encouragement by paving the way for them to act on their own curiosity and interest. _______19_______
Coming up with and doing activities or day to day tasks together with your children, is not only much more enjoyable for your children, but it also helps them to become more confident and decisive about making their own decisions about savings, interest rates, or allowances. _____20_____ That is bound to pave the way to breaking the trend of financial illiteracy.
A. That is one of the most important factors for learning.
B. Involve them in everyday money management activities.
C. This can be done with real-money or a digital piggy bank.
D. Giving your child regular pocket money, big enough to cover basic wants.
E. They will become more financially independent and wiser to online spending.
F. Such a chore beyond what is considered to be done at a certain age is the best.
G. This practice of setting a budget is very useful and fun for both parents and children.
【答案】16. B 17. G 18. F 19. A 20. E
【解析】
这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了在现金支付不再是主流支付方式的社会,应该如何教孩子意识到金钱的价值和教育孩子学习关于金钱管理的方法。
【16题详解】
前一句说到,教育孩子金钱管理和建立良好的金钱习惯变得更加重要。下一句说,从和孩子一起计划一个活动,制定一个预算开始。可知此空承上启下,应该表示通过使孩子参与到相关活动中,教育他们进行金钱管理。故选B。
17题详解】
根据此空前一句:当你们实施活动的每一部分时,确保留下所有的收据,然后评价你们是否成功做到(花费)在预算之内,还是超出了预算。可以看出这个过程对准确地进行预算有帮助。此空承接上文,因此,应该表示这么做的好处是什么。故选G。
【18题详解】
此空前一句建议让孩子做家务,然后给他们零花钱。此空后一句举例,14岁的孩子常常整理自己的床铺,因此为这样的家务提供奖励不是一个好主意,然而,清空、整理洗碗机可能对9岁的孩子刚好合适。此空承上启下,应该表示建议孩子承担什么样的家务,根据下一句可知,稍微超出孩子本可以做到的家务是好的。故选F。
【19题详解】
由前文可知,稍微有难度的家务可以帮助孩子理解赚钱的意义和时间、努力与金钱之间的关系。要通过鼓励教育孩子,为他们根据自己的好奇心和兴趣采取行动创造条件(铺平道路)。此空承接上文,因此,此空应该解释这种做法对学习金钱管理的意义。故选A。
【20题详解】
此空前一句讲到,和孩子一起实施活动,做任务,对孩子们来说不仅是一种享受,也帮助他们变得更加自信,使他们能果敢地决定有关存款、利率或者免税额的问题。此空承接上文,应该继续讲这个方法对培养孩子金钱管理方面的好处。故选E。

47.阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
The doctors sent my mother home to die. As a fifteen-year survivor of breast cancer she had suffered two heart attacks when advanced cancer was found in her lung. The doctor told me sadly, "She has a few days, maybe a week. Her heart is weak and unstable. "Mom had struggled to raise three daughters while holding a full-time job, yet worked hard to maintain a warm home for her family. My plan for Mom’s final days was simple: she would live with love, and die with grace.
I took mother to my home, small but comfortable, which was a heaven to four cats and a dog. The animals had the run of my house. We equipped the bedroom with an electric hospital bed and an oxygen machine, which frightened the cats. I’d moved their furniture and the cats were annoyed. The dog, on the other hand, an immature dog with bad habits, was excited by all the changes in the house. He jumped up, barking. He is Otto who was not afraid of the hospital bed, the oxygen machine or the medical smells. Nor was he afraid of the weak woman who had scolded him. Otto jumped onto the foot of Mom's hospital bed, and stayed. With the exception of eating and using the litter box, Otto never left Mom's room.
Days passed and Mom started to rally. “Not unusual,” I was told, “a rally is often a sign of imminent death(回光返照)” I was heart-broken. But Otto would not give her up so easily. He used her improved condition to reposition himself from the foot of her bed to her side. Her thin fingers found his soft coat. He leaned into her body, as if holding tight the strings of her will to live. Though weak, she petted the dog and would not allowed me to take him. Days turned into weeks and Mom continued to fight.
Paragraph 1
Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2
Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. __ __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1: Once, after the nurses had gone for the day, I heard the sound of Mom’s voice coming from her room. I found her with the head of the bed raised, reading from the newspaper, with Otto in her arms, listening adoringly. I will forever cherish the memory of Otto’s touching her face. Eventually, using a walker, Mom began to take walks through the house, followed by Otto. Where she rested, Otto rested. Where she moved, Otto shadowed. Somehow, Otto knew that during those days he became her dog child, giving her life purpose.
Paragraph 2: Three years later, Mom together with Otto is still here, medicines and nurses long gone. When we saw the doctor a while ago, “I can’t believe it, Lula,” he said. “I can’t find your cancer and your heart is strong. When your daughter brought you to me, I thought you were a ship that had sailed.” Mom gives the credit to Otto, who continues to share his gift of love―a medicine more powerful than any drug a doctor could prescribe.
【解析】
【分析】
这是一篇续写。
【详解】1.第一段给出的首句是Jatin looked up and he saw the other boys rushing ahead.这一句是故事发展的转折点。可以从“我发现她抬起床头,读着报纸,怀里抱着奥托,崇拜地听着。”入手扩展开去,——无论从何角度拓展,需注意与续写第二段首句呼应,最后一句应该用“不知道为什么,奥托知道在那些日子里,他成了她的狗孩子,给了她生活的目标。”与第二段首句相呼应。
2.第二段所给首句Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time.这一句呼应前文,紧接着可以从“不久前我们去看医生时,他说:‘我真不敢相信,卢拉。’”入手续写。
【点睛】这是一篇续写。符合续写要求,段落之间衔接紧密,句子环环相扣,层次清晰。同时文中使用高级句子。I found her with the head of the bed raised, reading from the newspaper, with Otto in her arms, listening adoringly.句中现在分词作伴随状语;Eventually, using a walker, Mom began to take walks through the house, followed by Otto.过去分词作方式状语;Where she moved, Otto shadowed.句中where引导地点状语从句;When your daughter brought you to me, I thought you were a ship that had sailed.句中when引导时间状语从句。
