Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.
In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?
Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.
Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.
4. What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?
A. She lived a fashionable life. B. She wrote about the life of the rich.
C. She knew exactly human virtues. D. She was nicer to less selfish people.
5. What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?
A. He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.
B. He is handsome, rich and rather modest.
C. He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.
D. He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.
6. Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?
A. A person that you like for who he or she is.
B. A person with whom you feel really relaxed.
C. A person making you become a better man or woman.
D. A person who does something similar to you.
7. What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?
A. Improve yourself with your lover’s help.
B. Accept the people you love totally.
C. Earn much money to make people love you.
D. Find your true love with pride and prejudice.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

I love our kitchen. It’s one of the most used parts of our home. About 9 years ago we updated our kitchen and got all new collections.

The idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.
It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.
“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.
“Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.
“2019 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.
12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?
A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly.
B. The idea of AI just came up recently.
C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.
D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.
13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?
A. Alan Turing. B. Georges Nahon. C. Mark Michalski. D. Alejandro Troccoli.
14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?
A. Executive director of a hospital. B. President of a research laboratory.
C. Chairman of an energy corporation. D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper.
15. How is the passage developed?
A. By explaining cause and effect. B. By presenting research results.
C. By listing some predictions. D. By describing personal experiences.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要通过Alecjandro Troccoli,Georges Nahon以及Mark Michalski对人工智能未来将应用于的领域进行预测和说明。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.(据预测,人工智能的发展将成为未来几代人的故事,而不仅仅是未来的一年,但随着2019年的到来,你会发现人工智能将开始在许多方面影响你的生活。)可知从前两段我们可以了解到人们没想到人工智能会发展得这么快。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.(我的人工智能知道我喜欢吃什么,一周中的哪几天我喜欢在家做饭,并确保当我下班回家时,所有的杂货都在门口等着我,为我准备好我一直渴望的美味佳肴。——Alecjandro Troccoli, NVIDIA的高级研究科学家。)可知Alecjandro Troccoli能预见人工智能代替人类做家务的未来。故选D。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.(Georges Nahon,全球研究实验室奥兰治研究所主任。)可知Georges Nahon的工作是研究实验室的主任。故选B。

My first career had been related to audiology (听力学)---one that allowed me to work part time while tending my growing family. But when my children grew up and left home, I found myself longing to be outside, not in a soundproof room in the hospital.
So I began attending classes at the local university, hoping that might lead me to a new career. ___16___ “What gave you pleasure as a child?” the counselor (顾问) asked. I thought for a while before responding, “Playing outside in the woods.” Our discussion eventually led to a second master’s degree, this one in zoology, and the job as a naturalist at a state park. I was 44 years old. ___17___
But as I climbed the career ladder, my time in the field disappeared. I was chained to a computer screen. In the back of my mind, the career counselor’s question sounded again. “___18___”
Shortly thereafter, an opportunity presented itself: a 4-month field research project at a university in the Netherlands. I found that field research allowed me to play in the woods again, but with a new purpose.
At the end of the project, I was invited to participate in the “sandwich” Ph.D. program, in which students do research in their home country while receiving support and instruction in the Netherlands. I was 60 years old. I didn’t think that earning a Ph. D. would further my career. ___19___
Still, my colleagues raised their eyebrows. “___20___“ they asked, “It is all about the journey,” I responded.
A. What gave you pleasure as a child?
B. I also went to see a career counselor.

There are many people who help me a lot, among whom are my English teacher, Miss Zhao. I still remember being asked a question in his class, but I fail to answer it. I was very embarrassed that I burst into tear. She didn’t blame for me. Instead, she encouraged me with a smile, saying best way to face failure was to keep try and that no success could be achieved without failure. That she said struck me deep at that time, which made me study much harder than before. Now, as a senior three student, I make it my motto: Never give up, and you’ll succeed in time.

Jane Austen is loved mainly as a charming guide to fashionable life in the Regency period (英国摄政时期). She is admired for describing a world of elegant houses, dances, servants and fashionable young men driving barouches (四轮四座大马车). But her own vision of her task was completely different. She was an ambitious and strict moralist. She was highly conscious of human failings and she had a deep desire to make people nicer: less selfish, more reasonable and more sensitive to the needs of others.
In Pride and Prejudice, Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bonnet start off heartily disliking each other and then, gradually realize they are in love. They make one of the great romantic couples. He is handsome, rich and well connected; she is pretty, smart and lively. But why actually are they right for one another?
Jane Austen is very clear. It’s for a reason we tend not to think of very much today: It is because each can educate and improve the other. When Mr. Darcy arrives in the neighborhood, he feels “superior” to everyone else, because he has more money and higher status. At a key moment, Elizabeth condemns his arrogance (自大) and pride to his face. It sounds offensive in the extreme, but later he admits that this was just what he needed.
Mostly, we tend to think of love as liking someone for who they already are, and of total acceptance. But the person who is right for us, Austen is saying, is not simply someone who makes us feel relaxed or comfortable; they got to be able to help us overcome our failings and become more mature, more honest and kinder—and we need to do something similar for them.
4. What do we know about Jane Austen from paragraph 1?
A. She lived a fashionable life. B. She wrote about the life of the rich.
C. She knew exactly human virtues. D. She was nicer to less selfish people.
5. What can we learn about Mr. Darcy from the text?
A. He dislikes Elizabeth from the beginning to the end.
B. He is handsome, rich and rather modest.
C. He is kind to everyone in the neighborhood.
D. He needs Elizabeth to point out his shortcomings.
6. Which person is right for you according to Jane Austen?
A. A person that you like for who he or she is.
B. A person with whom you feel really relaxed.
C. A person making you become a better man or woman.
D. A person who does something similar to you.
7. What message does the book Pride and Prejudice convey?
A. Improve yourself with your lover’s help.
B. Accept the people you love totally.
C. Earn much money to make people love you.
D. Find your true love with pride and prejudice.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A

The idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter.
It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers.
“Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA.
“Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory.
“2019 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital.
12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs?
A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly.
B. The idea of AI just came up recently.
C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter.
D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality.
13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being?
A. Alan Turing. B. Georges Nahon. C. Mark Michalski. D. Alejandro Troccoli.
14. What is Georges Nahon’s job?
A. Executive director of a hospital. B. President of a research laboratory.
C. Chairman of an energy corporation. D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper.
15. How is the passage developed?
A. By explaining cause and effect. B. By presenting research results.
C. By listing some predictions. D. By describing personal experiences.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. C

My first career had been related to audiology (听力学)---one that allowed me to work part time while tending my growing family. But when my children grew up and left home, I found myself longing to be outside, not in a soundproof room in the hospital.
So I began attending classes at the local university, hoping that might lead me to a new career. ___16___ “What gave you pleasure as a child?” the counselor (顾问) asked. I thought for a while before responding, “Playing outside in the woods.” Our discussion eventually led to a second master’s degree, this one in zoology, and the job as a naturalist at a state park. I was 44 years old. ___17___
But as I climbed the career ladder, my time in the field disappeared. I was chained to a computer screen. In the back of my mind, the career counselor’s question sounded again. “___18___”
Shortly thereafter, an opportunity presented itself: a 4-month field research project at a university in the Netherlands. I found that field research allowed me to play in the woods again, but with a new purpose.
At the end of the project, I was invited to participate in the “sandwich” Ph.D. program, in which students do research in their home country while receiving support and instruction in the Netherlands. I was 60 years old. I didn’t think that earning a Ph. D. would further my career. ___19___
Still, my colleagues raised their eyebrows. “___20___“ they asked, “It is all about the journey,” I responded.
A. What gave you pleasure as a child?
B. I also went to see a career counselor.
C. What do you intend to do with a Ph.D.?
D. But I wanted to follow my new passion.
E. But when it was no longer right, I changed direction.
F. Can you believe you’re actually getting paid to have this much fun?
G. And I was delighted to once again experience the joy of being outdoors.
【答案】16. B 17. G

There are many people who help me a lot, among whom are my English teacher, Miss Zhao. I still remember being asked a question in his class, but I fail to answer it. I was very embarrassed that I burst into tear. She didn’t blame for me. Instead, she encouraged me with a smile, saying best way to face failure was to keep try and that no success could be achieved without failure. That she said struck me deep at that time, which made me study much harder than before. Now, as a senior three student, I make it my motto: Never give up, and you’ll succeed in time.
【答案】1.are→is
2.his→her
3fail→failed
4.very→so
5.tear→tears
6.去掉for
7.saying后面加上the
8.try→trying
9.That→What

2.考查代词。句意:我还记得在她的课上被问了一个问题,但我没有回答。结合上文my English teacher, Miss Zhao可知表示“她的”,故his改为her。
3.考查动词时态。句意同上。事情发生在过去故应用一般过去时。故fail改为failed。
4.考查结果状语从句。句意:我尴尬得哭了起来。so…that…“如此……以致于”引导结果状语从句,故very改为so。
5.考查名词的数。句意同上。tear为可数名词,前面没有冠词修饰故用复数形式。故tear改为tears。
6.考查动词用法。句意:她没有责备我。blame为及物动词,可直接跟宾语,故去掉for。
7.考查形容词最高级。句意:相反,她笑着鼓励我,说面对失败的最好方法是不断尝试,没有失败就没有成功。best为形容词最高级,前面需要定冠词。故saying后面加上the。
8.考查固定短语。句意同上。固定短语keep doing sth.“不断做某事”,故try改为trying。
9.考查连词。句意:她的话当时给我留下了深刻的印象,这让我比以前更加努力地学习。本句为主语从句,从句中缺少宾语,指代“她的话”故用连词what。故That改为What。
10.考查副词。句意同上。此处表示“程度深”应用副词deeply修饰动词struck。故deep改为deeply。
