But today the journey will take just over 30 minutes, because today is not a normal day.Kenny is one of scores of passengers including the correspondent (记者) who are queuing for a seat on one of the first crossborder coaches to travel over the newlyopened Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge.The 20bn, 55km bridge and 6.7km undersea tunnel link Hong Kongs Lantau island to Zhuhai on the southern coast of Guangdong Province and Macao. The mega structure is supported by three cablestayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoonforce winds.It took more than eight years to build and, according to ambitious plans hatched (策划) in Beijing, will help form a hightech and economic region, namely Greater Bay Area, to rival New York, San Francisco and Tokyo bay areas.But those lofty aims feel fairly irrelevant to the band of eager passengers who have assembled at the Kowloon coach terminus on Wednesday morning. This group wants something different from the HZMB, as it has become known. For just HK DS| 120 for a single trip ticket, we can be part of history.“I was the first person to get the ticket three days ago，” says Li, as he waits patiently for the coach to arrive.Other passengers are similarly excited. YW Cheung and his wife bought the tickets on Sunday as soon as he heard about the news about coach companies running the bridge service.“I want to take the first coach to cross the bridge，” he said. “We will meet friends in Zhuhai and eat out with them, and then we will go to Macao.”语篇解读：港珠澳大桥是中国境内一座连接香港、珠海和澳门的桥隧工程。2018年10月24日大桥正式通车。本文主要报道了港珠澳大桥通车时人们期待乘坐长途公共汽车来往于三地的情景。5Why is today different for Kenny Li?ABecause it is a misty and cold day in the morning.BBecause he has to wait patiently at a coach terminus.CBecause the time to Zhuhai will be saved more.DBecause he can have lunch in Zhuhai by road.解析：选C推理判断题。根据第二段可推知，对Kenny Li来说，今天之所以特殊是因为他可以乘坐贯穿港珠澳大桥的公共长途汽车，这大大地缩短了到珠海的时间，故选C。6What is special for Hong KongZhuhaiMacao Bridge?AIt can withstand typhoonforce winds.BA round trip ticket of the coach by it just costs HK D|S120.CIt is irrelevant to passengers at the Kowloon coach terminus.DIt is part of history, more brilliant than New York.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“The mega structure is supported by three cablestayed bridges and designed to withstand typhoonforce winds.”可推知，港珠澳大桥的特别之处在于其能承受台风，故选A。7Where does this text probably come from?AA fashion magazine.BA history book.CA tourist brochure. DA latest newspaper.解析：选D文章出处题。根据全文的内容和语言风格可推知，本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道了港珠澳大桥建成通车时的情形，由此可推知，本文可能出自一份最新的报纸，故选D。CSome of the questions you ask your human resources (HR) (人力资源) department could soon be answered by, well, nonhumans.Thats the concept behind Talla, a Bostonarea startup that has developed a chatbot (一种聊天程序) to do some of the tasks that HR departments carry out, including explaining company policy, surveying employees, collecting information or training new hires.The Talla bot operates inside enterprise group messaging software, such as Slack, HipChat or Microsoft Teams, which has increasingly become an alternative to email as a method of digital communication within companies.Some 1,200 companies have brought in Talla, about a quarter of whom use the service regularly, said Tallas founder Rob May.Robots promise to be a violent force in the global economy.Some scientists expect they will undoubtedly replace lowwage workers, such as drivers and factory labor.As artificial intelligence continues to become more developed, robots may eventually do work instead of humans in many fields.Already, bots are being employed in fields as varied as law, journalism, medicine and engineering.Does that mean HR will depend only on bots? Maybe, but not for several decades, predicts May.In fact, he says the introduction of chatbots to HR allows the human staff to focus on tasks that require a greater degree of intellect.“Whats actually going to happen is that youre going to allow the HR department to be more human by automating (使自动化) a lot of their repeated work，” he said.“HR spends a lot of time doing these lowlevel, monotonous tasks，” May continued.“What youll find is that more of the work that does not need communicating with other humans is the kind of work that will be automated.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了波士顿一家创业公司Talla开发的聊天程序，它用来帮助人力资源部做那些重复性的、不需要与人交流的单调工作。8What do we know about chatbots?AThey can increase human staffs intelligence.BThey help companies advance their service.CThey are welcomed in many companies.DThey will get less and less human.解析：选C细节理解题。第二段中的“Some 1,200 companies have brought in Talla, about a quarter of whom use the service regularly”说明Talla开发的chatbot被很多公司运用。9What will HR do according to May?AUse chatbots instead of robots.BCommunicate more with chatbots.CLet chatbots replace them completely soon.DFree themselves from less significant tasks.解析：选D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“the introduction of chatbots to HR allows the human staff to focus on tasks that require a greater degree of intellect”和最后一段最后一句可知，Rob May认为人力资源部的那些任务难度相对小的、重复性的、不需要与人交流的、不太重要的工作会自动化，这样人力资源部的人就可以抽身去做其他更有意义的工作。10What does the underlined word “monotonous” in the last paragraph probably mean?AHard. BBoring.CHopeless. DWorthless.解析：选B词义猜测题。最后一段第一句谈到通过自动化，人力资源部就无需再做那些重复性的工作。结合该段内容，由于是重复性的、无需与他人交流的工作，故可推知这些工作是“单调乏味的”。故选B项。11What does the text mainly focus on?AChatbots role and HR.BRobots and chatbots.CHRs heavy work.DChatbots future.解析：选A主旨大意题。本文主要讲了Rob May的公司Talla开发的聊天程序chatbot运用到了人力资源行业，帮助做一些人力资源行业中单调乏味的工作。因此选A。DLondon Russian Ballet School (LRBS), based in Clapham, is a vocational school and charity (慈善机构) which teaches ballet to and educates young people from widely diverse backgrounds.Its artistic director, Evgeny Goremykin, one of the most respected ballet professors in Europe who danced with the Bolshoi Ballet for over twenty years, founded the school in 2010 on the principles of his own ballet education.The goal of the school is to give students the best of the past in order to work for the future.Students train with former artists of the great theatres and ballet schools of Russia where tradition and knowledge are passed from one generation to the next.LRBS believes that the Russian method, one of the finest in the world, may be applied to students with great success.Dame Gillian Lynne comments, “LRBS is an inspirational, tough and practical ballet school.Russian ballet training has always been extremely effective and important and these children are very lucky to be able to be part of the beautiful art and also to have the chance to develop, lead and inspire the talent within their souls.Dance has no barriers, and it is a universal and powerful art form which will always continue and should be accessible to all.”This year, over 700 children from Lambeth have been invited to the London Palladium in September to see the LRBS pupils perform with leading artists from the Bolshoi Ballet, something they would otherwise never have been able to do.It will give them a chance to experience the extreme discipline (训练) of this teaching which will lead to their enjoyment of the beauty of ballet.LRBS regularly performs for over 3,000 children each year in local underprivileged schools, which is what it feels pleased about.These children experience ballet accompanied by young musicians in their school halls.A teacher from a Lambeth primary school commented, “It was lovely to see our childrens full attention taken by such a wonder on the stage .and for nearly all it was the first time that they had seen a ballet production on stage.”语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了London Russian Ballet School (LRBS) 的相关信息。12What does the author say about LRBS?AIt aims to prepare children for their future.BIt targets children with great artistic talent.CIt is helpful to spread traditional Russian culture.DIt offers both professional and amateur ballet training.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第二段第一句可知，LRBS的目标是让学生受到最好的芭蕾舞教育，以为将来所用，即让学生为他们的将来做好准备。故选A。13Which of the following does Dame Gillian Lynne agree with?ARussian ballet is difficult to learn.BBallet education has no social distinctions.CBallet training is a great success in LRBS.DLRBS created a new way of teaching ballet.解析：选B推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句可知，Dame Gillian Lynne认为舞蹈没有国界，它是一种全球性的、具有强大影响力的艺术形式，应该普及到每一个人。由此可推知，Dame Gillian Lynne认为芭蕾舞教育适用于来自各种背景的年轻人，它没有社会地位的差异。故选B。14What does the underlined word “something” in Paragraph 4 refer to?ASeeing the ballet performance.BAttending LRBS to study ballet.CHaving a tour of the London Palladium.DCommunicating with the leading artists.解析：选A代词指代题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，来自Lambeth的700多个孩子应邀去London Palladium观看来自LRBS的孩子们和来自Bolshoi Ballet的艺术家们的演出，若非如此，他们将永远也看不到这些演出。something在句中作同位语，指观看芭蕾舞演出这件事，故选A。15Why does the author mention a teachers comment in the last paragraph?ATo show LRBS is proud of its ballet.BTo prove ballet has taken root in Britain.CTo state ballet is popular among children.DTo stress LRBS makes a difference to children.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段老师的评价可知，看到孩子们如痴如醉地观看舞台上的芭蕾舞蹈，这位老师觉得很开心。他们几乎所有人都是第一次观看台上的芭蕾舞。这实际上是在暗示LRBS对孩子们有一定的影响，故选D。.阅读七选五Many teenagers want to look cool._1_ Chloe Murray, an eighthgrader at Jefferson Middle School in the US, realized this problem and established a charitable clothes closet (衣橱) to help her peers._2_ The school let her use a room for the project.Chloes classmates joined her as well.Last month, the charitable clothes closet, called Chloes Closet, opened._3_ “Confidence is a real issue in middle school, especially when it comes to clothing，” Chloe told the Chicago Tribune, a daily newspaper in Chicago, the US._4_ Many people from the schools community and neighboring schools donated used and new clothes.The clothes closet is only open after school.Students can “bu
