Present was the usual mix that had so often accumulated into a burden too heavy for a single-parent household like the one Oprah Winfrey grew up in. The state in which she was born had laws in place waiting to characterize her as unwelcome, to bar her participation in otherwise acceptable social activities, to control her under slavery and other injustices of the past. The simple truth is that her grandmother, her great-grandmother and all the great-great-grandmothers before them never experienced one day of life free from racial repression (种族压迫).In fact, it appears that her birth was an uneventful one. But at age three she was reciting speeches from church pulpits (小讲坛). Upon discovering books, the child began to study the written word, turning out weekly book reports for her father. Even during turbulent (动荡的) times, not a moment was wasted. Seeds were being planted, watered, and nurtured. On April 13, 1964, nearly an adolescent and watching television from the floor of her mothers walk-up flat in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, she witnessed an event that connected to something deep inside of her. She was watching the live broadcast of the Academy Awards ceremony and saw a young African-American actor receiving the film industrys highest honor. Sharing in that moment and all it implied, she later told me, caused her to say softly to herself, “If he can do that, I wonder what I could do?”The ground had been set. The journey of Oprah Winfrey had begun. The baby, the child, the adolescent, the young woman all their strengths were turned into a force of astonishing power that placed itself in the service of nature and the human family. That the world has changed in meaningful ways since 1954 is beyond question. Oprah and her activities were driving forces in many of those changes. Her enormously influential talk show, her philanthropic (慈善的) work with children in Africa and elsewhere, her popular book club and magazine, her empowering spiritual message, her contribution (by action and example) to improving race relations all speak to the human family, touching hearts and leaving each one uplifted.24. What does the first paragraph tell us?A. Oprah Winfrey was born into a broken family. B. Oprah Winfrey lived free from racial repression.C. A baby girl had become a burden to most families. D. Laws against slavery came into force in Kosciusko.25. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Oprah Winfrey showed great interest in plants. B.

Why was a young African-American actor mentioned?A. To show he had won a great success. B. To state what inspired Oprah Winfrey.C. To prove why Oprah Winfrey admired him. D. To introduce the film industrys highest honor.27. The last paragraph was written to show Oprah Winfreys _.A. strong desire to be successful B. attitude to the changes since 1954C. hard journey from a child to an adult D. contributions and influence on othersCMeteorology (气象学) may well have been the first science. It surely would not have taken early man long to realize that the dark clouds in the sky meant that he was going to get wet. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, observed in the 4th century B.C. that “whoever wishes to pursue the science of medicine must first investigate the seasons of the year and what occurs in them.” The Chinese in the 11th century B.C. and the Egyptians a little later, observed and studied the weather, but the science did not really get under way until the invention of instruments which could measure the weather mainly in the 16th and 17th centuries.The British Meteorological Office was founded in 1854 as a very small department in the Board of Trade. By 1861 it was issuing strong wind warnings to shipping. Regular forecasts to the press began in 1879. On November 14th, 1922, the BBC broadcast the first radio weather forecast to the public when an announcer read a piece of paper prepared by the Met Office. And the first regular weather broadcasts on the BBC started on March 26th, 1923.On November 11th, 1936, the worlds first television chart was transmitted (播送) at the start of a trial series. BBC Television closed down during World Warbut, in July 1949, weather maps with captions began to be broadcast again.The idea of personalized weather forecasting on BBC Television was first raised at an executive (主管) lunch in 1953. The BBCs then Director General, Sir lan Jacob, noted that a young but highly professional meteorologist who was in the party had made the point that it would be better if, instead of just weather maps and charts, the forecaster himself appeared on screen. Within a year the anonymous (匿名的) young mans idea had become a reality, with the help of “an easel (画架) and treatment to walls and background” at a cost of 50 pounds.On January 11th, 1954, George Cowling of the Met Office became the first person to present a weather forecast on British television. The broadcast was live and lasted for five minutes. The Radio Times magazine specially introduced the new service.28. Why does the author quote Hippocratess words?A. To explain early mans everyday life. B. To encourage people to study science.C. To show the importance of meteorology. D. To honor his great contributions to medicine.29. What happened in 1923?A. Regular radio weather forecasts started. B. Weather maps with captions were broadcast.C. Weather forecasts were available to the public. D. Personalized weather forecasting became a reality.30. Who put forward the idea of personalized weather forecasting on the BBC?A. Sir lan Jacob. B. George Cowling. C. A BBC executive. D. A young meteorologist.31. How is the text mainly developed?A. By giving examples. B. By making comparisons. C. By following time order. D. By providing explanations.DArtificial intelligence (AI) has arrived on the farm. A Dutch company has developed technology to follow the movements and activities of cows. The high-tech system, powered by AI and motion (运动) sensors, is called “The Intelligent Dairy Farmers Assistant.” The company, Connecterra, started the system in the United States in December 2017 after several years of testing and operations in Europe.A device (装置) is put around the neck of the cow to record its movements. This information is then processed by a computer that uses AI to learn about the animals behavior over time. The system can tell farmers what the cow is doing in real time. This information can help predict when cattle get sick, become less productive or are ready for mating (交配).Richard Watson owns the Seven Oaks Dairy in Waynesboro, Georgia. He is one of the first American farmers to use the high-tech system. “It can pick up whether the cow is eating, whether it is walking, whether it is drinking, whether it is laying down, or standing up.” Watson says the system is a big help because it is impossible for farmers to keep up with the activities of each cow individually. He adds that having a computer identify which of his 2,000 cattle need attention could help improve farm productivity by up to 10 percent. He estimates this difference could greatly increase his profits. “Just a 10 percent or five percent increase, or improvement in productivity, means hundreds of thousands of dollars to us, aside from the fact that we just want happier and healthier and more welfare in our animals, anyway.” Watson says he sees the technology being used in many large farming systems if it continues to be successful over time.The founder and head of Connecterra is Yasir Khokhar. He says the idea for the system came while he was living on a dairy farm south of Amsterdam. “It turns out the technology farmers use is really outdated in many respects,” Khokhar told the Associated Press. He adds that most of the technology that does exist is difficult to use. He says modern agriculture greatly needs new technology like this.32. What do we know about “The Intelligent Dairy Farmers Assistant”?A. It is still being tested. B. It is used to detect cows behavior.C. It was designed to take cattles temperature. D. It was developed by an American company.33. What does Richard Watson think of the system?A. It lacks farmers support. B. It affects cows health.C. It helps bring profits. D. It needs improving.34. Whats the last paragraph mainly about?A. Why Khokhar set up Connecterra. B. Why Khokhar went to a dairy farm.C. How Khokhar got the idea for the system. D. How Khokhar improved the new technology.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. Farmers use AI to help monitor cows. B. Connecterra benefits from dairy farming.C. Modern agriculture greatly needs new technology. D. AI is used to keep cows healthier and more productive.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。Tai chi emphasizes focus and balance rather than speed or jumps. When we move tai chi from the land into the swimming pool, it provides added stability and resistance. 36 FeaturesIn a typical session, expect to be standing in chest-to shoulder-deep warm water as youre led through a repeated sequence of slow, broad tai chi moves using the arms, torso (躯干) and legs. 37 Music and deep breathing are added to bring a sense of calm. 38 Tai chi increases muscle strength and energy while improving the range of motion, flexibility and balance. The added support of water brings even more stability and balance while reducing impact and weight restrictions. Extra resistance from water brings an increased consumption of energy and oxygen. This leads to better circulation. It helps relieve a variety of health complaints such as chronic (慢性的) pain and circulatory disorders.Mental benefits 39 Water brings a new level to that meditative (沉思的) experience, because the student can feel the soft flow rather than just visualize it. Concentration on small movements of the hand and wrist promotes mental alertness, while deep breathing, light music and warm water bring a sense of relaxation.Age suitability Tai chi puts minimal stress on muscles and joints, making it generally safe for all ages and fitness levels. Both hydrotherapy (水治疗法) and tai chi are good for osteoarthritis (骨关节炎) patients. 40 For these reasons, tai chi appeals to older adults who otherwise may not exercise, and water tai chi is more attractive.A. Physical benefitsB. Social benefitsC. This trend is also called water tai chi or aquatic tai chi.D. So it follows that putting the two together would provide equal, or even more benefits.E. Tai chi is excellent at decreasing stress and anxiety.F. Tai chi is an ancient Chinese internal martial art.G. The progression increases the consumption of oxygen and calories.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面的短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Many language learners think their pronunciation is good enough because their teacher doesnt correct them too often or because other students can 41 them.Pronunciation is the area which is 42 the least attention to in language learning.
