热点04 任务型阅读之综合任务【命题趋势】为了弥补阅读理解客观题(判断是非题与单项选择题)一统天下、考生容易猜测的局面，近年来各地中考英语阅读理解部分都引入了属于主观题性质的任务型阅读，要求考生或填写表格(一般限定词数)，或回答问题。

这类试题的难度最大，考生如果不能真正读懂并理解文章，就无法下笔。

值得一提的是，近年来任务型阅读的主观题在各地中考英语试题中所占的比例越来越大，有的地方试题甚至采用两篇，既要求考生根据文章填写表格，又要求考生在阅读文章后回答问题，但是，综观任何一组中考英语阅读理解试题，试题的难易度分布非常有序。

【满分技巧】此类任务型阅读是各种题型的综合，可以给出不同的任务让学生逐一完成。

一般是在问题设计上兼顾了多种类型，既有根据短文设计的问答题和相应的翻译题、句型转换等，又有根据内容完成句子，完成这一题型应非常细致，应认真地到原材料中收集有用的信息，并且经过整理输出信息。

在明白题意和文章的基础上仔细阅读后面的题目要求，根据实际情况去完成所要求的任务。

具体答题策略如下：1.认真审题，读懂题意由于目要求形式多样，在同一篇阅读材料中会要求完成不同的任务，因此解题前要先明确任务，做到心中有数。

2.快读阅读，掌握大意在做影时要快速扫视一下文章的大意，然后结合前面的题目的要求，大致明白所要完成的任务。

3.细读题目，完成任务在明白题意和文章意思的基础上，仔细阅读后面的题目要求，在原文中找出问题题干所包括的部分，这样就可以快速准确地抓住有效信思，确保答题的准确性。

如果是根据英文释义写单词的题，则一定要确保所填的单词来源于原文，切不可脱离原文，随意发挥。

【热点话题】阅读、一带一路、健康、垃圾分类等。

重难点14 任务型阅读之回答问题【命题趋势】为了弥补阅读理解客观题(判断是非题与单项选择题)一统天下、考生容易猜测的局面，近年来各地中考英语阅读理解部分都引入了属于主观题性质的任务型阅读，要求考生或填写表格(一般限定词数)，或回答问题。

这类试题的难度最大，考生如果不能真正读懂并理解文章，就无法下笔。

值得一提的是,近年来任务型阅读的主观题在各地中考英语试题中所占的比例越来越大，有的地方试题甚至采用两篇,既要求考生根据文章填写表格，又要求考生在阅读文章后回答问题，但是，综观任何一组中考英语阅读理解试题，试题的难易度分布非常有序。

【限时检测】（建议用时：30分钟）A（2019 •黑龙江省齐齐哈尔市）There are many holidays and f estivals. Dads have Father’s Day Mums have Mother’s Day But do ourgrandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do!The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.There are many ways in which Chinese people express their respect. When an older person enters a room,everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we present a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That’s because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called “seniors” instead of “old people”. They’d rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement (退休) they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep their bodies working well.Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don’t have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts (打折) in stores and restaurants.Bu t Western seniors don’t often live with their children—they live alone. For holidays, the family usually gather at the grandparents’ home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.阅读短文，回答下列问题。

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》新科技Passage1(2019台州)Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa”or “OK Google”or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?( )1. From the passage, we know that Alexa ________．A. can look after the babyB. can cook delicious foodC. is a toy doll sold onlineD. is one kind of AI device( )2.

Then what willthe world be like in the future?3D food will be both delicious and nutritious(有营养的). We can use 3D printers to print some basic materials. __①__ And we can go further. Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.__②__ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited(无限的) information.Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths(深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.__③__ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure(冒险). And even we will get used to living there.A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel sadness or joy.

It is a term forthe Japanese words for “megaphone”and “translate”，which actually makes a lot of sense because it's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes(辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off”or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting(出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a threeyear agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.( )1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese fasterB. Japanese companies can receive foreigners betterC. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freelyD. the Japanese can learn other languages easily( )2. The third paragraph is mainly about the ________ of Megahonyaku.A. inventionB. importanceC. disadvantageD. history( )3. It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________．A. may be popular with the policeB. is widely used in private homesC. will be sold on December 20thD. stores about 30 foreign languages( )4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.A. sell Megahon yaku to foreign visitorsB. bring down the price of MegahonyakuC. change the screen of MegahonyakuD. improve Megahonyaku regularlyPassage4(2019广安)Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出) the name “artificial intelligence”over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize(识别) human faces, operate selfdriving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people consider(认为) AI a danger to humans if it develops tooquickly. A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students but also average(普通的) students. As for(对于) average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.( )1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________．A. all problems can be solved by computersB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 yearsD. AI works in the same way as people( )2.According to the passage, what can't AI do at present?A. Understand human speech.B. Operate selfdriving cars.C. Compete in some game systems.D. Understand human feelings.( )3. The underlined word “it”in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)________．A. chessB. a scientistC. the dangerD. AI( )4. According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn ________ well.A. math and artB. art and technologyC. math and computer scienceD. art and computer science( )5. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' ________ about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveriesPassage5(2019舟山)Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9，500squaremetre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other wellorganized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the “urban heatisland effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?( )1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________．A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof( )2. The underlined word “moderate”in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control( )3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.( )4. The purpose of the passage is to______．A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofsPassage6(2019烟台)In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's secondlargest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U．S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U．S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information.”Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said.“The ban from the U．S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.”Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4，000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company.The__experience__was__not__as__romantic__(浪漫的)as__you__imagine.”Facing the ban of the U．S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.( )1. Which company is the largest smartphone supplier of 5G in the world?A. Apple.B. Samsung.C. Huawei.D. Nokia.( )2. Why did the U．S. order a ban on Huawei?A. Huawei's sales in America were growing faster than Apple.B. Huawei refused to supply services to the U．S. government.C. They didn't want Apple to sell parts and services to Huawei.D.

What does the writer want to tell in the last paragraph?A. Huawei will grow slowly.B. Huawei is full of hope.C. Huawei's sales will be doubled.D.

High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory(不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading(升级) manufacturing(制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem, some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.( )1. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China?A. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job market.B. To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work.C. To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills.D. To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing.( )2. What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage?A. Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued.B. There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China.C. The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory.D. Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies. ( )3. The writer believes China's future vocational education is________．A. hopefulB. doubtfulC. unsatisfactoryD. worryingPassage8(2019安顺)Millions of American soybean(大豆)farmers in 2019 are losing money because China is not buying their crops any more. But garlic(大蒜)growers in California are making more money.For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs(关税)on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, “In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China.”Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters(路透社)that without Chinese garlic America can't go.

There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixtyfive million. Threequarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that don't have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”．Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over onemillion trees which at first grew in Scotland have been plantedand there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some peopleask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are alsoangry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy. So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests—but soon there might be!( )1. What was the population of the UK thousands of years ago?A. About 25 million.B. Over 65 million.C.

Protecting the environmentComments：Should Museum Entry Be Free?With International Museum Day coming up, today we are asking readers: Should museums be free or should people have to pay for a ticket? Let us know ‘your view’．Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong.Krista Chen (US)Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for highachieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)Age 17There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too.Amber White (UK)Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize moneyraising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.Li Mishao (China)Age 15(A. 2.B. 3.C. 4.D. 5.( )2.Who suggests museums should regularly hold special events to collect money?A. Krista Chen.B. Fred Smith.C. Rob Sanchez.D. Li Mishao.( )3. Why does Fred Smith believe that free tickets should be given to highachieving students?A. Students will then study harder.B.

2020年中考英语阅读理解专题练习《热点话题》新科技Passage1(2019台州)Brooke wanted a doll house and some sugar cookies. So the 6yearold asked Alexa to get them. Alexa wasn't her mom or babysitter. It was a voiceactivated home assistant powered by AI(人工智能). And it made Brooke's wishes come true. A few days later, much to her parents' surprise, a $170 dollhouse and four pounds of cookies showed up. They ate the cookies and gave away the dollhouse to a local hospital. And that's not the end of the story. When a news reporter told the story of what happened on TV, Alexa devices(设备)in many listeners' homes woke up and tried to order dollhouses!Alexa isn't the only AI willing to serve you. Apple Homepod has Siri, Google Home has its Assistant, and the upcoming Galaxy Home device will have Bixby. People who have these devices use them mainly for listening to music, checking the weather, and setting timers. According to a report from The Information, nowadays voice shopping is rare. But many scientists predict a boom(增长) in voice shopping in the near future. Is that a good thing?________. You can shout out an order as soon as you think of it, even if you are cooking, cleaning, o r driving. In addition, people with disabilities who are unable to use a keyboard or mouse can shop without any help.But voice shopping has its disadvantages. Unwanted dollhouses aren't the biggest problem. It's usually very easy to cancel an order or return products. The thing t hat worries some people is that these assistants are always listening. They have to be able to respond when you want them. So they listen for “Alexa” or “OK Google” or another order. When they hear it, they start recording the conversation. Some have worried about what happens to these recordings. Should companies be allowed to use them to learn about people's shopping habits? And what if someone hacks(入侵) the device? The CIA found a way to hack smart TVs to turn them into spies that listen all the time. Others could do the same with any smart device.What do you think? Are you ready to start voice shopping?( )1.

Scientists believe that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchens and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.__②__ 5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited(无限的) information.Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths(深度) of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.__③__ For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure(冒险). And even we will get used to living there.A robot will be a part of life. Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well.

It is a term for the Japanese words for “megaphone”and “translate”， which actually makes a lot of sense because it's a megaphone that can translate Japanese into several other languages in real time. When a user speaks Japanese into the megaphone, it recognizes(辨认) and translates what is being said immediately, and outputs the words in English, Chinese or Korean.It sounds amazing, and seeing it in action is wonderful, but Megahonyaku is not good enough. It cannot translate everything you say, as it only stores 300 common expressions, like “The train has been put off” or “Watch your step”. However, the Japanese company behind Megahonyaku promises to add new expressions regularly, which users can get on the Internet.The machine was designed to be used in places like transport stations, airports and places of interest, where quick and exact announcements are needed most. Around 30 Japanese organizations, including the police and guides, have been trying out Megahonyaku for about one year, but Panasonic says it will come onto the market on December 20th. Instead of selling these speech translators, Panasonic plans on renting(出租) them out for less than $183 a month on a threeyear agreement, and offering users future improvements and necessary services.Panasonic has also said that it may add support for other languages, like Russian, depending on customers' needs. Megahonyaku also includes a touch screen that allows users to choose the language they need their speech translated into.( )1. Panasonic has produced Megahonyaku so that ________.A. guides can translate Chinese into Japanese fasterB. Japanese companies can receive foreigners betterC. foreigners can talk with the Japanese freelyD. the Japanese can learn other languages easily( )2. The third paragraph is mainly about the ________ of Megahonyaku.A. inventionB. importanceC. disadvantageD. history( )3. It can be learnt from Paragraph 4 that Megahonyaku ________．A. may be popular with the policeB. is widely used in private homesC. will be sold on December 20thD. stores about 30 foreign languages( )4. According to the passage, Panasonic will ________ in the future.A. sell Megahon yaku to foreign visitorsB. bring down the price of MegahonyakuC. change the screen of MegahonyakuD. improve Megahonyaku regularlyPassage4(2019广安)Artificial intelligence(AI)(人工智能) is the ability of a computer program or a machine. The computer or the machine with AI can think and learn. It is also a field of study that tries to make computers “smart”. John McCarthy, a scientist, came up with(提出) the name “artificial intelligence” over 60 years ago. Many things such as learning and problem solving can be done by computers, though not in the same way as people do.An unusual goal of AI research is to create special computer programs. They can learn, solve problems, and think logically(逻辑地). At present, AI can successfully understand human speech, recognize(识别) human faces, operate selfdriving cars and compete in some game systems like playing Chess. However, some people consider(认为) AI a danger to humans if it develops too quickly.A famous British scientist also was not for this kind of technology.Math is the basic language of AI. If students are good at math, they will be more likely to become successful AI designers(设计者) in the future. We need not only bright students but also average(普通的) students. As for(对于) average students, if they get enough math skills, they can also become successful AI designers. Besides, a good knowledge of computer science is also necessary for AI designing.Scientists hope to create creative(有创造力的) and emotional(有情感的) AI. The AI can possibly understand human feelings or create art. Many ways and tools have been tried to discover this wide and exciting field.( )1. From Paragraph 1, we know that ________．A. all problems can be solved by computersB. machines with AI can think and learnC. AI has been around for only 60 yearsD. AI works in the same way as people( )2.According to the passage, what can't AI do at present?A. Understand human speech.B. Operate selfdriving cars.C. Compete in some game systems.D. Understand human feelings.( )3. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指的是)________．A. chessB. a scientistC. the dangerD. AI( )4. According to the passage, if students want to become successful AI designers, they should learn ________ well.A. math and artB. art and technologyC. math and computer scienceD. art and computer science( )5. Paragraph 4 mainly tells us the scientists' ________ about AI.A. wishesB. worriesC. feelingsD. discoveriesPassage5(2019舟山)Fresh green grass. Hundreds of colorful wild flowers. Water running into little pools. Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9，500squaremetre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other wellorganized park but there's a difference. It lies on the roofs(屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmö in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps that's why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the“urban heatisland effect”. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage(排水) system. ________ And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the city's noise and traffic, whether you're at school or in an office or just at home in a tenfloor block?( )1. With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain ________．A. how wildlife is protectedB. what a green roof is likeC. how to organize a good parkD. what to do with a spare roof( )2. The underlined word “moderate” in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to “________”．A. raiseB. checkC. recordD. control( )3. Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4?A. A green roof is alive.B. A green roof stops pollution.C. A common roof is noisy.D. A common roof increases the cost.( )4. The purpose of the passage is to______．A. discover the problems with green roofsB. introduce the change of green roofsC. show the amazing beauty of green roofsD. describe the advantages of green roofsPassage6(2019烟台)In 1987, a small company named Huawei was started in Shenzhen. After more than 30 years of development, the company has now beaten Apple and become the world's secondlargest maker of smartphones behind Korea's Samsung. It has also become the world's largest supplier(供应商)of 5G.But recently, Huawei faced some difficulties. The U．S. government ordered a ban(禁令)on its sales in America. American officials said Huawei gave information that it collected to the Chinese government. At the same time, the U．S. government planned to stop selling parts and services to Huawei, which was believed that Huawei's business would be hurt.“We have never received such a request from Chinese government and we have never tried to get into other system to collect information.” Ren Zhengfei, Huawei's founder and president said.“The ban from the U．S. would have little effect on our company. Huawei has enough ability to deal with the problems.” Ren added.In an interview several years ago, Ren Zhengfei said, “I started Huawei with only ￡4，000 at the beginning, but now it has become a $100 billion company.The__experience__was__not__as__romantic__(浪漫的)as__you__imagine.”Facing the ban of the U．S., Huawei is growing. Huawei's smartphone sales around the world rose 50 percent compared to a year earlier in the first three months of 2019. At the same time, sales from both Samsung and Apple fell. So far, Huawei has grown into the world's largest telecommunication equipment(电信设备)supplier, selling in 170 countries. It may beat Samsung as the largest smartphone maker in the near future.( )1. Which company is the largest smartphone supplier of 5G in the world?A. Apple.B. Samsung.C. Huawei.D. Nokia.( )2. Why did the U．S. order a ban on Huawei?A. Huawei's sales in America were growing faster than Apple.B. Huawei refused to supply services to the U．S. government.C. They didn't want Apple to sell parts and services to Huawei.D.

High school graduates and workers with no special training are encouraged to study in higher vocational colleges. Li said that the number of the new students in higher vocational colleges in China should go up by 1 million this year. This is the first time the central government has a clear plan.This comes after the news of the large shortfall(不足) in highly skilled technicians, although China has millions of technical workers. China is expected to face a shortfall of 3 million skilled workers who can operate the newest machines by 2020. The shortfall will grow to 4.5 million by 2025. Also, vocational education is unsatisfactory(不令人满意的), although there are many vocational colleges in China. In some vocational colleges, the education methods and courses cannot meet the need of upgrading(升级) manufacturing(制造业). As can be seen from the job market, some companies still can't find highly skilled technicians even with high pay.To deal with the problem, some vocational colleges have worked with companies to teach students. They have hired skilled technicians from companies as teachers. With the rising of the skilled workers' social position and pay, it is believed the vocational education system in China will start to play a bigger role in the development of China.( )1. What's the main purpose of the development of modern vocational education in China?A. To train more highly skilled technicians for the job market.B. To help vocational college graduates get higher pay from their work.C. To ask more people to live on themselves with technical skills.D. To encourage more companies to upgrade manufacturing.( )2. What is one of the problems of Chinese vocational education according to the passage?A. Higher vocational college teachers are not well paid and valued.B. There are only a small number of higher vocational colleges in China.C. The education methods and courses in vocational colleges are unsatisfactory.D. Some of the vocational college teachers are skilled technicians from companies. ( )3. The writer believes China's future vocational education is________．A. hopefulB. doubtfulC. unsatisfactoryD. worryingPassage8(2019安顺)Millions of American soybean(大豆)farmers in 2019 are losing money because China is not buying their crops any more. But garlic(大蒜)growers in California are making more money.For many years, sales of garlic in California had been little because of the much cheaper garlic from China. This year, however, California garlic sales are rising because American government increases tariffs(关税)on Chinese products.Christopher, a garlic grower in California, is manager of his company and he said, “In a perfect world, we would love to see the tariffs on China.”Tariffs on Chinese garlic rose from 10% to 25% on May 9, 2019, and the reason is that U．S President Donald Trump increased tariffs on Chinese products worth of $200 billion. Since then, Chinese buyers have almost stopped buying soybeans from the United States and American soybean farmers are now getting worried.Not everyone likes the garlic tariffs in the U．S. Last July Christopher expressed his support on Trump's policy(政策). However, officials from McCormick and Company Inc. didn't agree with the policy. McCormick's CEO, Lawrence told Reuters(路透社)that without Chinese garlic America can't go. Actually, the trade war(贸易战)between China and America is a sign of American hegemony(霸权), and it will destroy American economy and U．S government will lose its trust from other countries in the world.( )1. From the passage we infer(推理)that ________．A. America is buying garlic from China as much as beforeB. American soybean farmers make money as much as beforeC. China is still buying crops from America as much as beforeD. Garlic growers in California are making more money than before( )2. Why is less Chinese garlic bought by America this year?A.

It might look like fun, but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again. The World Animal Protection(WAP) says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed(暴露) to ill treatment around the world; in Cambodia, for example, it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather.

There were wolves and bears, many different kinds of deer and large wild cows. There were less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.All this has changed, of course. Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixtyfive million. Threequarters of Britain is covered with fields, towns or cities. Although 25 percent of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before. The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that don't have a large wild animal that eats meat. In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats, but these are much smaller than wolves.Some people would like to change things, however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again. They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild. They call this “rewilding”．Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over onemillion trees which at first grew in Scotland have been plantedand there are plans for more—but wild animals? Some people askif wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angrythat rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy.

Let us know ‘your view’．Museums are not only there for enjoyment; they are education. This is why they must be free. While museums need a huge amount of money to operate, let the wealthy pay for it. The idea of a person or child interested in art not being able to view it because of cost is wrong. Krista Chen (US)Age 15Free entry does not attract people or encourage them to appreciate art. Generally people respect things that are difficult or costly to get Museums should require regular visitors to pay a fee, but provide free tickets as prizes for highachieving students who can appreciate them more.Fred Smith (New Zealand)Age 14Museums teach people about their past. This is part of our shared culture that should be available to everyone, rich or poor. People should never be asked to pay an entrance fee.Rob Sanchez (Australia)Age 17There are no simple answers. Low ticket prices could help museums stay open. But companies and businessmen should also provide museums with more money and other support. They have a social responsibility too. Amber White (UK)Age 16I think museums and art galleries should all be free to the public.I do, however, think twice a year the museums should organize money-raising events to help pay for the cost of staying open.Li Mishao (China)Age 15( )1.

Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect(影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.Some parents are worried too—for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirtytwo, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and g entle. Blue says th at you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I'm worried that pink will not help them with that，” she says.But not everyone thinks there's something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn't worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time，” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner explains that his twelveyearold daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change，” he adds. “It's only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink—before that it was a color for boys.”。
