france. ferries（摆渡） operate all year round to carry people across the channel, and they are busy most of the year. january is the only quiet month nowadays. as well as summer holiday-makers, there are day trippers and coach traffic, not to mention lorries and other commercial vehicles. some ferries carry cars and their passengers, while others also connect train passengers with the continental rail network. the biggest hazard for the ferry is the wind. the crew listens to bbc weather reports four times a day. or they sometimes get gale（大风） warnings from local radio station. crossing the channel by ferry is a bit like trying to cross oxford street on a busy afternoon, according to one ferryboat captain. the ferries from folkstone and dover to calais and boulogne have to cross the main flow of traffic. this consists of ships traveling through the channel to and from northern europe. there may be four hundred ships making the journey at any one time, and they all pass through a “choke point” which is only fifteen miles (twenty-five kilometers) wide. the cross-channel ferries have to sail right through the middle of all this traffic.25. the passage is mainly concerned with _.a. the english channelb. the weather on the channelc. cross-channel ferriesd. what crossing the channel by ferry is like26. the word hazard is closest in meaning to _.a. trouble b. danger c. enemy d. problem27. we can infer from the passage that _.a. if there is a gale warning from the bbc, the ferries will stop operating.b. the traffic on the channel is very busy only in winterc. ferries are busiest in the afternoond. the crew of the ferry listens to the weather reports four times a day28. where does this passage most probably appear?a. in a dictionary. b. in a novel.c. in a transportation magazine.d.

subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warm. by the time she got to the platform, lisa felt weak and tired maybe it hadnt been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought. she rested herself against a post close to the tracks. several yards away, frank, 43, and his girlfriend, jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop. they were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying. but when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “oh, my god, she fell in!” frank didnt hesitate. he jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “no! not you!” his girlfriend screamed after him. she was right to be alarmed. by the time frank reached lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming. the train was about 20 seconds from the station. it was hard to lift her. she was just out. but he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform (站台) so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge. that was where lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse. lisa thought shed been robbed. a woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head. and she tried to talk but she couldnt, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in. police and fire officials soon arrived, and frank told the story to an officer. jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40-minute train ride downtown just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time. “i saw the train coming and i was thinking he was going to die,” she explained. 29 what was the most probable cause for lisas

is intended to _. a. warn us of the danger in the subway b. show us how to save people in the subwayc. tell us about a subway rescue d. report a traffic accident dgo, known as weiqi in china and baduk in south korea, was viewed as the last game where humans can defeat machines. lee se-dol, one of the greatest go players, has won 18 world championships for 21 years of his professional career. alphago, a computer program developed by googles deepmind, beat the european go champion, an achievement that was not expected for years in october, 2015.the match between lee and alphago was seen as a representative game between humans and artificial intelligence (ai). the match of the century drew great attention from news organizations, go fans and the general public across the world as well as in south korea.go originated from china more than 2,500 years ago. it involves two players who take turns putting markers on a net-shaped board to gain more areas on it. one can occupy the markers of the rival (对手) by surrounding the pieces of the other. go is considered to be a lot more complex than chess where artificial intelligence scored its most famous victory to date when ibms deep blue beat grandmaster gary kasparov in 1997.but experts say go presents an entirely different challenge because of the games incomputable number of move options. in other words, the computer must be capable of human-like intuition (直觉) to win.i was very surprised because i did not think that i would lose the game, said mr lee. he said alphagos early strategy was “excellent” and that he was shocked by one unconventional move it had made that a human never would have played.alphago is proud of a deep learning capability to learn for itself and discover new strategies by playing games against itself and adjusting neural networks (神经网络) based on a trial-and-error process known as reinforcement (强化) learning.in spite of his loss, he did not regret accepting the challenge. i had a lot of fun playing go and im looking forward to the future games,” he said after alphago won 3-0 in a five-game match.“playing against a machine is very different from an actual human player. normally, you can sense your rivals breathing, their energy. and lots of times you make decisions which depend on the physical reactions of the person youre playing against. with a machine, you cant do that”, lee said.33. where can we most probably read this text?a. in a personal diaryb. in a science magazine c. in a science fiction d. in a travel guide34. what did lee think was the cause of his loss?a. alphago had an excellent strategy and unconventional moves.b. he couldnt sense alphagos breathing and energy in the games.c. he made decisions depending on the rivals physical reactions.d. the designer of alphago was a talent who couldnt be defeated. 35. this article is mainly about _.a. the differences between playing chess and go b. the difficulties lee met in the match with alphagoc. the introduction of a match between lee and alphagod. the development of the artificial intelligence (ai)第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分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。different families have different
