Meeting famous people C Exploring new spots D Listening to amazing legends B It can be a real struggle trying to learn a new language I had always enjoyed learning languages in school but only recently did I start learning German I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily but when it came to literature I really struggled That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children s books printed in the target language At first I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone half my age lout then I realized that everyone has to start somewhere As children we are given these basic texts to familiarize our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures and from there we can learn and develop I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK 1 managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot As a result you can work out some of the definitions of words with your prior knowledge of the story At first I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other but this method did not work well for me The method I would recommend is to read a chapter of your chosen children s book and at the end of that chapter highlight the words you do not know and then look up the definitions If you can wait a bit before you use a dictionary you may be surprised what you can get merely from the context of the sentence in the story Additionally a lot of children s books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring 4 Why was the author advised to read children s books A Because she was weak in reading great works B Because she was slow to learn language C Because she liked children s literature D Because she couldn t remember any words 5 What can kids get from childrens books according to the passage A Vocabulary and listening skills B Learning methods C Words and structures D Designing skills 6 What causes the author feel surprised while reading childrens books A Grasping the context from the pictures B Looking up the definations of words from a dictionary C Getting familiar with the plots of the story D Understanding the words simply from the context 3 7 What can be the best title of the passage A Reading Children s Books B The Way of Learning Languages C The Method of Using Dictionary D My Good Reading Habits C There was a lot of news related to artificial intelligence or AI and machine learning Among the stories were two dealing with direct competitions between humans and machines In one competition machines that used AI performed better than human beings in a high level reading test Two natural language processing tools beat human in the experiment One of the tools was built by the American technology company Microsoft The other was created by Chinese online seller Alibaba Group In another competition a computer took on humans in live public debates The event demonstrated how AI powered computers are increasingly being developed to think and sound like humans The organizer of the debates U S technology company IBM announced split results It said a majority of those watching said they felt the machine had done more to improve their knowledge of the subject But the human got more praise for communicating their ideas This year we also explored the many ways AI and machine learning are now being used For example some U S judges use machine learning systems to help them decide when and for how long criminals should be jailed The system uses computers to examine data from thousands of court cases One fast growing area of AI is facial recognition which is increasingly being used for security purposes Recently Atlanta s Hartsfield Jackson airport became the first in the U s to permit passengers to use facial recognition technology to get on flights A Chinese company showed off an AI system it developed to recognize individuals by body shape and walking movements The system is already being used by Chinese police in Beijing and Shanghai In addition machine learning was used during 2018 to predict results of the World Cup soccer competition The technology also created artwork that sold for a large amount of money And it is being used to help farmer save time and money while reducing environment harming chemicals Other technology systems are being used to follow farm animals and wildlife to collect information on their activities 8 Why were the two competitions mentioned in the passage A To show how much better AI and machine learning are than 4 humans B To prove AI and machine Learning got more praise for communication C To show how powerful AI and machine Learning are D To prove AI and machine learning have been used in the work of U S judges 9 What are facial and body recognition systems used for in the passage A Knowledge learning B Safety control C Office automation D Tracking survey 10 What can we infer from this passage A AI has been widely used in every person s daily life B Human can be replaced by AI in future completely C More attention is being paid to AI in every part of the world D More advanced Al is helping people in more and more areas 11 Where is the text probably from A A technology report B A natural science magazine C A science fiction D A government document D Solar energy systems power plants do not produce air pollution water pollution or greenhouse gases Using solar energy can have a positive indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment However some poisonous materials and chemicals are used to make the photovoltaic 光电池的 cells that convert sunlight into electricity Some solar thermal 保热的 systems use potentially hazardous liquids to transfer heat Leaks of these materials could be harmful to the environment U S environmental laws regulate the use and settlement of these types of materials As with any type of power plant large solar power plants can affect the environment near their locations The placement of the power plant may have long term effects on the habitats of native plants and animals Some solar power plant s may require water for cleaning solar collectors and concentrators or for cooling turbine generators Using large volumes of ground water or surface water in some dry locations may affect the ecosystems that depend on these water resources In addition the beam of concentrated sunlight a solar power tower creates can kill birds and insects that fly into the beam The amount of solar energy that the earth receives each day is many 5 times greater than the total amount of all energy that people consume each day However on the surface of the earth solar energy is a variable and irregular energy source The amount of sunlight and the intensity of sunlight varies by time of day and location Weather and climate conditions affect the availability of sunlight daily and on a seasonal basis The type and size of a soIar energy collection and conversion system determines how much of the available solar energy we can convert into useful energy 12 Which of the following best explains hazardous underlined in paragraph 2 A inexpensive B dangerous C ineffective D abnormal 13 What influence can large solar power plants have on the locations A Polluting the ground water B Protecting the habitats of plants and animals C Damaging the local natural balance D Attracting birds and insects to the area 14 What does the last paragraph mainly tell us A Different areas receive different amount of solar energy B How to convert solar energy into useful energy C The relationship between solar energy collection and the sunlight D Some factors that influence the amount of solar energy collection 15 What does the author think of the solar energy systems A They are totally environment friendly B They have both advantages and disadvantages C They should be forbidden in the future D They should be encouraged in quantities 第二节 共第二节 共 5 小题
