【题目】 I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 【1】 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood, I had to spend hours by myself.
A bright spot for me turned out to be reading. My love of the written word began early as my mother read to me every evening. 【2】 I started reading books on my own before age 5 and my mother took me to the public library once a week to borrow several books. I quickly graduated from typical children’s books to ones with fewer pictures and longer chapters. Reading opened new worlds to me. 【3】
My mother also encouraged me to make what I wanted. I tried making toy cars with cardboard boxes and constructing buildings from leftover cardboard and bits of wood my father gave me. When my mother saw my creations, she told me how creative my designs were. 【4】 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait(特点) others found helpful, and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.
【5】My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside, no matter the weather or season. My brother, of course, raced off to be with his friends, while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn, ice skating in winter, and so much more. They’re all memories I treasure today.
A.I wasn't alone any longer.
B.I enjoyed reading stories aloud.
C.I was invited to play with another kid.
D.I loved the colorful photographs in the books.
E.Another habit I formed early was being outdoors.
F.Thus, I began my lifelong interest in making things.
G.My older brother couldn’t be bothered to play with me.
【答案】
【1】G
【2】D
【3】A
【4】F
【5】E
【解析】
这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者养成几个生活习惯的原因。
【1】
设空在段中,应是承前启后句。根据后文“His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine”可知,设空句应提及“his”的身份,即G项中的“My elder brother”,且G项“我哥哥懒得和我一起玩”在此起到了承上启下的作用。故选G项。故选G项。
【2】
根据前句提到“我对文字的爱始于母亲每天晚上给我读故事的时候”可知,D项“我喜欢书中的彩色照片”和上句构成进一步说明。同时D项中的“书”指代上句提到的母亲每天给我读故事的书。D项切题。故选D项。
【3】
根据前句提到“阅读为我打开了新世界”可知,A项“我不在孤独”和上句构成了因果关系。A项切题。故选A项。
【4】
根据前句“当我的母亲看到我的创作时,她说我的设计很有创意”可知,F项“于是,我开始对制造东西产生了长久的兴趣”和上句构成因果关系,我正是在听了母亲那句话后才开始了对制造东西产生兴趣。F项切题。故选F项。
【5】
根据后句“无论天气或季节,我的父母都要让他们的两个孩子花时间在户外”可知,E项“我很早养成的另一个习惯是去户外”和前句表示因果逻辑。作者有去户外的习惯是因为后句提到的父母的影响。E项切题。故选E项。

【题目】 Many of us have already lost the “race against the machines” - we just don’t know it yet. That is the conclusion of new research by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.
Unlike most studies into the impact of automation, this one does not rely on informed guesswork about what machines will be able to do in 20 years’ time. 【1】 They are literacy, numeracy and problem-solving with computers - and compares our performance against the abilities of machines. The results are sobering, but rather than a reason to despair,
In the survey a group of computer scientists was given the same test and asked which questions computers could answer, using technology that exists but has not necessarily been rolled out yet in the workplace. The conclusion? Almost a third of workers use these cognitive skills daily in their jobs and yet their competency levels have already been matched by computers. About 44 per cent are still better than the machines. The remaining 25 per cent have jobs that do not use these skills every day.
There are two caveats. First, the OECD only asked computer scientists how well they thought machines could do. 【2】. Second, just because technology exists does not mean it will be deployed quickly in the workplace. It depends on how easily it can be made operational, how much it costs relative to the value it creates, and whether companies have the appetite to invest.
【3】. Stuart Elliott, the author, concludes that in 10 to 20 years, only workers with very strong literacy and numeracy skills will be comfortably more proficient than computers. At the minute, only about one in 10 working-age adults in OECD countries are of this standard.
It is true that the education systems in most countries have been raising their game: younger people tend to have better skills than older people (the UK being one notable, and worrying, exception). But even if you take the most skilled generation in the most skilled country - young people in Finland - two-thirds still do not meet these top levels of literacy and numeracy. 【4】.
The risks to workers from ever smarter computers are clear, but the opportunities will lie in maximizing the value of their human skills. For some people, such as talented chefs, the battle is already won. Others might need to harness the computers to leverage their human talents.
A.And yet, the implication of the study are hard to dismiss.
B.on many of these fronts, computers are behind humans, if they are in the race at all.
C.Technology does not necessary mean doom to all but the highest skilled.
D.Instead it takes three basic and compares our performance against the abilities of machines.
E.Apart from astonishing improvement in education, it looks like only a minority of people can win this race.
F.The result would be more alarming if machine were actually put to the test.

【题目】 Deep in the middle of Sri Lanka, a massive column of rock reaches out from the green tropical forest. It is 660 feet tall and features frescoes (壁画), graffiti, and landscaped gardens.
The rock is known as Sigiriya and holds a special place in the island's cultural history.
It was established as the stronghold of a king over 1,500 years ago, and today the Sigiriya complex stands as one of the earliest preserved examples of ancient urban planning.
Located in the Central Province, the column of rock is somewhat central to the country. The rock is known as Sihagiri, meaning "Lion Rock", a nod to the giant animal carved from stone which greeted visitors at the entrance.
In 476 BC. King Dhatusena ruled over Sri Lanka. One of his illegal sons, Kashyapa, wanted the throne (王位). Kashyapa overthrew Dhatusena and drove his brother Moggallana to Southern India. Kashyapa crowned himself king in 477 BC.
King Kashyapa chose Sigiriya as his palace because its position was an advantage to the defensive stronghold, offering fantastic 360-degree views. Plans to build a city quickly unfolded and after several years, the Sigiriya complex had become a business center for the new King.
Sigiriya was both a palace and a fortress (堡垒); the overall complex featured five gates and measured just under 3 km by just over 1 km. The site plan consisted of a fort,an upper palace on the top of the rock,and lower palaces at ground level. The king also constructed gardens throughout,and for protection a river with walls surrounded the complex.
Frescoes decorate the western side of the rock, along with the mirror wall, a brick face covered in a highly-polished white plaster. When new, the wall was said to be able to produce Reflections.
Over time the Mirror Wall became a graffiti board, covered in verses written by visitors. Known as "Sigiri Graffiti", some of the messages date to the 8th century CE.
【1】It is implied in the passage that Sigiriya was built to ______________.
A.preserve the culture of Sri LankaB.prove the ancient urban planning
C.keep the King from being attackedD.protect the green tropical forest
【2】According to the passage, some visitors would _________.
A.have a reflection before the Mirror Wall
B.leave comments on the Mirror Wall
C.draw beautiful paintings of girls on the wall
D.be lost in thought before the Mirror Wall
【3】What do we know about Sigiriya?
A.Its entrance is carved like a lion.B.Its gardens are at ground level.
C.Its western side is a mirror.D.Its palaces are on the top of the rock.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.The giant lions in Sri Lanka.B.The pearl of the Indian Ocean.
C.The Lion Rock of Sri Lanka.D.The mirror wall in a rock.
