The show is said to have the largest collection of new electronic devices (设备) in the world.The show had many examples of “smart home”devices. “Smart home”technology is designed to make life easier for people by letting computers control many things inside our homes. One such device actually begins working outside the home, when someone arrives and rings the doorbell.“When someone comes to your front door and rings the doorbell, the light can turn on immediately. I get information when I’m halfway around the world that someone came, and I can start talking to the person who’s at my front door, and I can say, ‘Oh, here let me let you in,’I can unlock the door for them very easily.”Said Vivint, a smart home service provider.One electronics maker developed a device that lets people see and interact (互动) with their animals when they are away. The device, from Petcube, lets you remotely watch and talk to your pet through a personal device, according to a company official.For heating or cooling, there is a smart thermostat. This device can also send you a message if a big storm causes leaks of flooding. “We’re trying to catch it with just a few drops before it becomes a real big problem,”said Mike Sale of iDevices.A concern for many homeowners is the possibility that someone else might find a way to attack these smart home devices. An official from Vivint said his company is sure that only owners of the home can gain use of information on the devices. Warren Katz from iDevices said his company employs engineers from the defence industry to help prevent hacking (黑客攻击).28. What can be learned about the show?A. It is the largest show ever held.B. It only exhibited smart home devices.C. It created much attraction to consumers.D. It has been held in Las Vegas many times.29. What’s the purpose of Paragraph 3?A. To explain how to answer the door.B. To show how a smart home device works.C. To tell a story about nice devices.D. To introduce a home service provider.30. What may happen in the future according to the given examples?A. Computers may replace human workers one day.B. A stranger can enter your house even if you’re out.C. The house can repair for itself if a storm causes damage.D. You can take good care of your animals while you’re away.31. What can be inferred about the smart home device from the last paragraph?A. Its safety can be guaranteed at present.B. Information on the devices is easy to get.C. Many of the devices are not available now.D. Homeowners are concerned about its operation.5.（8分）DA voice-controlled robot designed to serve the elderly, iPal performed a song from a classic Chinese opera, amusing the crowd with its sweet voice and exaggerated(夸张的) gestures at the 2018 World Robot Conference in Beijing.The robot reacts to touch and voice, turning its head towards elderly users and offering simple conversations. Besides singing opera, it can give weather reports and remind users to take their medicine.“iPal is designed to meet the needs of the elderly, especially China's empty-nesters, as it can help to reduce their loneliness and make sure of their safety. The robot, for example, can send a live feed of its elderly users to their children or relatives. It can also send alerts(警报) if users are injured or someone is breaking into their home.”said Wang Wenping, marketing director of the robot's producer AvatarMind, a Nanjing-based robotics company."China's population is aging rapidly. However, senior care services are not sufficient to cover the growing demand. The elderly need to be cared for, and yet their children are often busy with work. This gives intelligent service robots a role to play in the future. We see a big market potential." Wang said.AvatarMind is among the many Chinese robotics companies that plan to step into the senior care market.Though senior care robots have gained attention at exhibitions and received some market recognition, Chinese robotics companies still face great challenges."Robots are only beginning to enter China's senior care market. It takes a lot of time and money to improve our products and attract new customers," said Wang Wenping. "We need to make progress in combining robotics with AI(人工智能）and big data to make our robots smarter."But Wang added that robots can help entertain and look after the elderly who live alone, but care from family is what really matters.32. What can we learn about iPal?A. It can fully meet the needs of the elderly.B. It is the best robot to serve the elderly.C. It can serve the elderly in many ways.D. It is very popular among the elderly.33. Which is closest to the meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 4?A. Enough.B. Popular.C. Intelligent.D. Patient.34. What is the main challenge AvatarMind is faced with?A. Its robots are not accepted by the elderly at all.B. The prices of robots are still too high.C. There is a long way to go to perfect their robots.D. There is too much foreign competition in the market.35. What is the most important to the elderly according to Wang Wenping?A. Making the robots smart enough.B. Family care for the elderly.C. Making the robots attractive.D. Combining robots with AI and big data.三、阅读七选五（本题共计1小题，总分10分）6.（10分）Whether it’s at work or home, we all get stressed out. 36 It also gets in the way of managing relationships and affects how you think and behave.

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.4．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A．Efforts made in vain.B．Getting injured in his work.C．Feeling uncertain about his future.D．Creatures forced out of their homes.5．Why was the author called to Muttontown?A．To rescue a woman.B．To take care of a woman.C．To look at a baby owl.D．To cure a young owl.6．What made the chick calm down?A．A new nest.B．Some food.C．A recording.D．Its parents.7．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s unexpected.B．It’s beautiful.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.Teenagers around the world are familiar with the great pain of boredom. And every parent is familiar with the sounds of groaning (咕哝的) kids, sulking (生闷气) in their room or pacing aimlessly around the house. But sometimes, it’s this very sense of boredom that can inspire creativity and create fast-growing trends.This is true for pickleball (匹克球), now a popular sport in the West. According to the Mental Floss website, the sport was invented in the summer of 1965. At that time, Frank Pritchard, 13, had nothing to do in his family’s summer home in Washington, US. After complaining loudly, his father, Joel, suggested he make up a game. When Frank replied “Why don’t you?” his father gladly took up the challenge. Thus, pickleball was born.Certain parts of tennis, badminton and ping-pong can be seen from pickleball. It’s a bat game played on a badminton-sized court with what looks like a wiffle ball (威浮球) over a low net. Only the serving team can score points, and all serves must be made with an underhand stroke (击球).The popularity of pickleball has grown steadily over the last decade. According to Mental Floss, the number of pickleball courts has grown by an estimated 385 percent worldwide since 2010. One reason for its popularity is that it’s “a sport for everyone”. Anyone can play pickleball because it’s relatively easy to pick up. There are simple rules, and all people need is a couple of bats and a ball, which is affordable and accessible to all. Plus, pickleball is a sport centered around fun and friendship. The game lasts as short as 15 minutes, which means less running and stress for players.Pritchard said that the game’s rapid rise in popularity was amazing, especially considering that a bad-tempered kid “inspired a sports craze by making a stink (吵闹) about being bored one afternoon 56 years ago”.8．What do we know about pickleball, according to the passage?A．It was invented accidentally by a young boy.B．It is a game suitable for family gatherings.C．It combines elements from several ball games.D．The game’s judges come from a serving team.9．What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about?A．Why pickleball has become so well received.B．What equipment pickleball players need.C．How significant pickleball is to the world.D．What rules must be obeyed in pickleball.10．What did Pritchard think of the popularity of pickleball?A．Unexpected.B．Reasonable.C．Natural.D．Awkward. 11．Why does the author write the passage?A．To advise us to join in sports games.B．To teach us how to play pickleball.C．To tell us the birth of a sports game.D．To motivate us to follow new trends.Humans spend about one third of their lives sleeping. But some mammals (哺乳动物), likethe northern elephant seal, survive with much less sleep.Researchers in a new study described the unusual sleep pattern of these ocean animals. They found that when these mammals go to feed on trips that can last seven months, they sleep just two hours each day. Those two hours of sleep are made up of short moments of rest lasting only 10 minutes each as they dive deep to avoid predators (捕食者). The only other mammals known to get so little sleep are African elephants.The researchers placed a head covering with sensors (传感器) on the heads of the seals that they studied. The sensors recorded sleep signals created by the seals’ brains and heart rate. The sensors also recorded the animals’ location and depth beneath the sea. Female seals go out on longer open-ocean trips while males only feed in coastal waters. Because of this, the researchers only studied female seals.During dives lasting about 30 minutes, the seals went into a deep sleep called slow-wave sleep while keeping a controlled downward movement. When they then experienced rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep, the seals fell into a turning pattern. Then, at the deepest point of their sleeping dive—up to 377 meters deep—they wake up and swim back to the surface.Terrie Williams is a scientist at the University of California at Santa Cruz who helped write the study. She said, “It is remarkable that a wild animal will fall into deep, paralytic REM sleep when there are predators on the hunt.” She added that the seals solve this problem by going into deep sleep in the deep parts of the oceans where predators usually do not hunt them.Williams said the brain’s ability to control awakening the sleeping seals at a depth before they drown is also a discovery about how mammalian brains work. She commented on this, saying that it shows the survival control of the seals’ brains.12．Why did researchers only study female elephant seals?A．They like living in groups more than males.B．They are more friendly to humans.C．They are more convenient to follow.D．They go to feed on longer trips.13．What were the elephant seals doing when they were in deep sleep?A．Falling into deeper sea.B．Swimming fast in the sea.C．Moving back to the surface.D．Breathing deeply and slowly.14．What’s the advantage of elephant seals’ sleep in the deep parts of the oceans?A．They hunt for more food.B．They avoid being hunted.C．They get completely relaxed.D．They control their sleep pattern. 15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Different Animals Need Different SleepB．Short Sleep Helps Elephant Seals Move Deeper into SeaC．Female Elephant Seals Sleep Only Two Hours a DayD．Male and Female Elephant Seals Feed in Different AreasWith New Year approaching, year-end reviews dominate the airwaves. 16 . Lose ten pounds? Read a book a month? However, I’ve never given much thought to New Year’s resolutions. I make intentions instead. It means setting one’s purpose toward a path instead of action toward specific behaviors. And more than that, I’m setting them in a framework (框架) that will give them wings.Set time, not goalsA wise friend once told me “Do not set a result as the goal. Set the time in which you do the things you want to do.” For example, I usually tell myself I should write more. 17 . Then, I realize it would be better to set my intention to write and the time to write, say, from 8:30 a.m. to 11 :30 a. m.Take advantage of the Premack PrincipleThe Premack principle is a behavioral strategy that states that the presence of a high-probability behavior can make a low-probability behavior more likely. 18 . So, now that I’ve set my intention to write and the time to write, I can link it to a high-probability behavior, such as dropping my kids off at school in the morning. The point is that it gets the action rolling without much thought or self-motivating talk. 19 .20Let’s face it, no matter how much you set an intention, if there’s no enjoyment once you start, it will likely fall by the wayside. So, find a path you enjoy that will bring the same results. In truth, I hate exercising, but, luckily, I walk my dog. A lovely way to exercise, go out in nature, enjoy companionship, and meet people !A．Face your intention directlyB．One intention, multiple pathsC．Over time, it becomes routine as wellD．But the result proves far from satisfactoryE．Perhaps most are also making new year resolutionsF．Resolutions seem to hold people prisoners rather than free themG．In other words, to enact a new behavior, attach it to a well-established behavior二、完形填空I grew up on a university campus in eastern Nigeria.I was a(n) 21 reader, and what I read were British and American children’s books.I began to write when I was seven.I wrote exactly the kinds of stories I was reading: All my 22 were white and blue-eyed. They played in the snow. They ate apples, and they talked a lot about the 23 ，how lovely it was that the sun had 24 .What this demonstrates is how 25 we can be influenced by what we read, particularly as children. Because all I had read were foreign books, I had become 26 that books had to have 27 in them and had to be about things with which I could not personally identify.Things 28 when I discovered African books.

The death rate from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to reducing stress in their work.However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes and prevention of heart disease. Instead of supporting such programs, however, the US health-care system is spending large sums of money on the surgical treatment of the disease after it develops. This emphasis on treatment clearly has something to do with the technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern technology has enabled doctors to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that were considered impossible or too risky a few years ago are nowperformed every day in US hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.Although there is no doubt that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First, it attracts interest and money from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of general hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery---even on patients for whom an operation is unnecessary---because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office recently stated that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their conditions after the surgery. However, more than 100 000 of these operations are performed in the United States every year.28. What effect has modern technology had on medicine?A. It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.B. It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.C. It has helped save the lives of most patients.D. It has helped educate people about the prevention of heart disease.29.“To do this” (in Paragraph 3) means ________.A. to help patients recoverB. to increase the number of heart surgeriesC. to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart diseaseD. to get back the money spent on the equipment30. The author would agree that _______.A. heart surgery has helped most patients improve their conditionsB. more money should be spent on the prevention of heart diseaseC. modern technology has made heart surgery more risky than beforeD. the public have known a great deal about the causes of heart disease31. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Greatest Killer in the WestB. Heart Disease: Treat or PreventC. Modern Technology and Heart SurgeryD. Heart Surgery: Advantages and DisadvantagesDA group of blue-faced birds step through the grass shoulder to shoulder, red eyes looking around. They look like middle schoolers seeking a cafeteria table at lunchtime. Perhaps they’re not so different.A new study, led by Damien Farine, an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour, shows that the vulturine guineafowl of eastern Africa, like humans, have multilevel societies. In the past, scientists assumed such social structures required a lot of brainpower. But the pea-brained guineafowl are revealing the faults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs, often walking so closely that their bodies touch. They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies (等级制度), but at other times they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting the guineafowl might have a social structure, Dr. Farine and his colleagues began a thorough study of their society. For a whole year, they made daily observations of 441 birds. Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart. They also attached GPS devices to the backs of 58 birds, which let them see exactly where every group went, 24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl(鹫珠鸡) have a multilevel society. There are groups within groups within the population as a whole. There even seem to be groups of friends within the small groups. This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr. Farine emph asizes this particular bird’s tiny brain size: “They don’t only have small brains relative to mammals ( 哺乳动物), they also have quite small brains relative to other birds,” he said.According to him, living in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track of the social order. For example, if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individuals within a group, it knows which group it’s looking at—no need for a brain that can recognize every single animal. Multilevel societies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whatever challenges they’re facing. Depending on what enemies or resources are around, it might make sense to travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,” Dr. Farine said. There may be more birds and other animals out there that, although small-brained, have societies as many-leveled as our own.32. According to the passage, what inspired Dr. Farine to carry out the s tudy?A. The guineafowl’s social behavio r.B. Previous assumptions about birds.C．His interest in animal brainpower. D．The errors in earlier research.33. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?A．The research subjects. B．The research equipment.C．The research findings. D．The research methods.34. What can be learned from the passage?A. Complex social systems can be a disadvantage to the guineafowl.B. The guineafowl are good at recognizing individuals in a group.C．Small-brained animals can form multilevel societies.D．Birds maintain social order by travelling in combined groups.35. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain the interaction patterns in multilevel societies.B. To present the findings of a study of the guineafowl.C. To introduce a new approach to observing the guineafowl.D. To uncover clues about how complex societies are formed.第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
