Its alive!” But Jane, whod just gone to the bathroom, thought I was yelling, “Its a lie! Its a lie!” She thought we were having an argument, so she was afraid to come back into the living room. When she finally returned, she realized that we were not fighting, but laughing at such an unexpected gift.We had never cooked a lobster before, so we didnt know what to do. In those days there was no Internet to get information, so we went and asked a neighbor. Meanwhile, we had put the lobster in a sink full of water. When we came back home, the lobster had become so lively that we no longer had the heart to cook it. We managed to get it back into the box, and we gave it to the neighbor instead.17题详解】此为听力题，解析略【18题详解】此为听力题，解析略【19题详解】此为听力题，解析略【20题详解】此为听力题，解析略第二部分:阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10个小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ARecently I started discovering one thing which amazes me so much: how perfect everything is in the world we are living in! Just look, all day long we are busy working and just when we get tired, the night comes in, so we may sleep and relax. One day we may enjoy the bright sun and another day, when we get tired of the sun, the rain pours down.A few months ago I was so happy with my life. Later, I got tired from the happiness. I wished I would have some trial to strengthen my character and learn something new about life. I got what I wanted. Shortly after I got severe angina (心绞痛), so I had to stay home for several weeks. During this period I had time to rethink my life and discover myself. The lessons were terrific, but I felt grateful for this time.Another example: I have a friend , who primarily thinks about having fun. Once I thought why we get along well with each other and what in me attracts her. A couple of days ago I found the answer. I like calmness and silence. She likes noise and agitation (热闹 ). We attract each other just to balance ourselves, in other words, to give some drive to me and some calmness to her !So remember that the universe is so wise that it will try to balance you. As for me, this is perfect because extremes create suffering: too much food too little food, too coldtoo hot, too much fun too little fun.21. We can learn from the first paragraph that the author .A. always feels down on rainy days.B. always tries his best to do everything.C. is amazed at the changes in life.D. feels happy with everything in life.22. The example given in the third paragraph is to show that .A. its necessary to get along with different people.B. a person shouldnt just think of fun in life.C. there exists a kind of balance in life.D. one should put others interests above his own.23. The author would probably agree that .A. we should be nice to others and ourselves.B. we shouldnt go to extremes in life.C. we should adapt ourselves to changes in life.D. life can be annoying sometimes.【答案】21. D 22. C 23. B【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文中讲述了我们生活的世界是多么的完美，它平衡着一切，包括我们的幸福与痛苦。【21题详解】推理判断题。题干问从第1段中我们能够了解到作者。根据第1段第一行Recently I started discovering one thing which amazes me so much how perfect everything is in the world we are living in!可知，作者惊叹的事是：生活是多么的美好。故可以推知，作者对生活中的一切感到幸福。故选D。【22题详解】推理判断题。题干问第三段中举的例子是为了证明。根据第3段中的we attract each other just to balance ourselves可知，作者和朋友是两种不同类型的人，他们之间的性格存在着互补。故可推知，作者举这个例子是为了证明：生活中也存在着一种平衡。故选C。【23题详解】推理判断题。题干问作者有可能认同哪一种观点。根据最后一段中的So remember that the universe is so wise that it will try to balance you. As for me, this is perfect because extremes create suffering. 可知，作者认同极端会带来痛苦。故选B项（我们在生活中不应该走极端）。BThe days of having to remember your ID could soon be a thing of the past. The famous tourist town of Wuzhen, China, is now using facial recognition technology to act as its entry pass through the gates of the attraction. The system uses cameras to notice people as they approach the entry, and checks these against a database of registered visitors within a few seconds. The technology is thought to be up to 99.77 percent accurate and able to distinguish people better than a human.Wuzhen is a popular tourist town with visitors going there in large numbers to see its stunning river system and museums. Baidu, a web firm often referred to as “ Chinese Google”, created the system. When people now check in to their accommodation, they will have their photo taken and uploaded to a central database upon leaving and re-entering the town, the system will re-check that they are still a guest at a hotel, before allowing them back in.The technology is being used to track the 5 ,000 visitors that stay in the towns hotels every day. Yuan Qing lin, director of the Institute of deep Learning at Baidu, told The Verge, “With our technology, you dont need to give your ID. When you are approaching a gate, it will take a photo of you and compare that photo to the database.” Wuzhen used to monitor its visitors using a ticket-entry system, but this could easily be abused. It was discovered that some people were sharing their tickets to avoid paying.Baidus system is based on neural networks, which can process huge amounts of datamore than one billion faces. As well as recognizing faces, the system can discover facial movements, so it cant be fooled by holding a mask. Baidu is also using the software for employee entry at its Beijing headquarters.24.

The technology can match visitors faces with those in the database.C. The technology can be over 99.77% accurate.D. The technology is being used to track where the 5 000 visitors are going.25.

For the first time Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs.The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan. Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information about the possibility of a manned flying saucer( 飞碟) landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.We have come to the conclusion, based on last weeks satellite landing, Prof. Zog said, that there is no life on Earth. “How do you know this? the science reporter of the Venus Evening News asked.For one thing, Earths surface in the area of Manhattan is composed of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive.”“Are there any other sources of danger that you have discovered in your studies?”“Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud staying over the surface of Earth? We don t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have to make further tests before we send a Venus Being there.”Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicate it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink.”“Sir, what are all those tiny black spots on the photographs?”“Were not certain. They seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They give gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other.”“Prof. Zog, why are we spending billions and billions of Zilches to land a flying saucer on Earth when there is no life there?“Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in the Earth atmosphere, then we can live anywhere.”28.

Zog教授。Zog教授告知我们，假设我们生活在金星上，向地球发射卫星以研究地球，结果会是怎样呢？科学家通过向地球发射一个卫星以研究地球上是否有生命，同时收集是否有可能将人类送往地球上生活的信息，从卫星上发回来的信息显示出地球上没有生命存在的可能性。【28题详解】推理判断题。题干问作者是用什么样的调子写这篇文章的。根据本文主要内容以及用词如：Venusians ;第七段最后一句before we send the Venus Being there尤其是最后一段 （当记者问为什么花那么多的钱向地球发射飞碟的时候）Zog教授的回答Because if we Venusians can learn to breathe in the earth atmosphere , then we can live anywhere（如果我们金星人能够在地球的大气层生存的话，那么我们就能够在任何地方生存）。可知，本文作者是用幽默的语气写此文的。A项意为“严肃的，”；B项意为“富有攻击性的，爱挑衅的”；C项意为“幽默的”；D项意为“沮丧的，懊恼的，失意的”。故选C。【29题详解】推理判断题。题干问除了空气污染之外，作者还提到了地球上的什么问题。根据倒数第3段they seem to be metal particles that move along certain paths. They give gases, make noise and keep crashing into each other（这些金属颗粒沿着一定的轨道运动，排放气体，制造噪音，互相撞击），即：卫星上传送的汽车车流量的照片。故可推知，作者还提到了繁重的交通问题。A项意为“人口过度膨胀”；B项意为“全球变暖”；C项意为“森林的破坏”；D项意为“交通的繁重”。故选D。【30题详解】推理判断题。作者在文中提到了空气污染问题，水污染问题以及交通繁重问题，以提醒人们地球上存在的危机。A项意为“告知我们金星科学家们的梦想”；B项意为“发现其它星球上生命的秘密”；C项意为“说服人们到地球上生活”；D项意为“提醒人们地球上存在的一些危机”。故选D。第二节(共 5 个小题；每小题 2 分，分 10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项If your loved one is in hospital during a holiday, there are many things you can do to brighten his spirit and improve his recovery by visiting during his hospital stay._31_This doesnt mean you should bring an entire feast including a twenty-pound tur
