inWyoming,the park hosts millions of visitors every year.If you plan to travelwithin the park,keep in mind the advice from the National Park Service.Seasonal TravelTravel varies vastly from season to season.Roads are generally open in thesummer except for cases of rock or mud slides,wild fires,accidents or roadconstruction.Early snows in the fall can cause some roads to close temporarily(暂时).In the winter almost all roads are closed to motor vehicles,butsnowmobiles and other snow vehicles with tracks are allowed.Roads begin toopen in the spring by the latter part of April but may close if snowfall continues.Driving TimeGrand Loop Road is the main road through Yellowstone National Park,andit passes by most of the major attractions.The maximum speed limit on theroad is 45 miles per hour,but the speed limit drops during some of the winding(蜿蜒)and twisty sections of this narrow road,or due to heavy traffic now andthen.Safety AwarenessBuffalo(野牛)often block the roads in the park.If so,you can either waitfor them to pass or find another route.If you get out of your vehicle,you shouldstay at least 25 yards from any buffalo(and 100 yards or more away from bearsand wolves).Buffalo are particularly unpredictable and charge people at speedsup to 30 mph.You can take your bicycle on any public roads designed for bikes,but bicyclesare not allowed on the park roads which are narrow with few shoulders.TheNational Park Service recommends that cyclists wear helmets(头盔)andnoticeable clothing.21.What is TRUE about traveling in the Yellowstone Park?A.Roads will stay open in spite of emergency.B.Traffic jam is actually not a common thing.C.The driving speed on the road can be 50 mph.D.Motor vehicles are allowed in the winter.22.What safety advice does the National Park Service offer?A.In no case could you get out of the car.B.Keep going when coming across the buffalo.C.Do wear easy-to-see clothes while bicycling.D.Bicycling is forbidden on the public roads.23.Where can you probably find this article?A.In a tour brochure.B.In a research paper.C.In a geography textbook.D.In a commercial advertisement.When I first started working with Kevin Sargeant,he was a freshman in highschool,and I was his science teacher.I knew even then that he was a brightyoung man with great potential,and a hunger for learning.But he struggled toapply what he had learned due to his autism(自闭症).Diagnosed(诊断)with Aspergers syndrome(埃斯伯格综合症)inelementary school,Kevin scored well on tests.However,a huge part of schoollearning takes place not at a students individual desk,but in groups that requireparticipation.For children like Kevin,that presents a big challenge.For a long time,we struggled to persuade Kevin to come out of his shell andjoin the class.He preferred doing activities alone,and hated classroom tasksthat required cooperation,like lab assignments.He struggled with publicspeaking even in small groups,and didnt want to try new things.You could tell that there was huge potential thereI never doubted hisacademic abilities.But at times many of us at the school worried about whetherhed ever be able to make full use of those abilities to build a future for himself.Over time,however,something changed.Slowly he began to want to try newthings,and to work with people.He developed into a boy of humor,and startedto participate in class and to let people get to know him.And he was graduallyinto the high schools work-based learning program,where he learned aboutcareers in information technologyan area Kevin is always gifted in.In fact,insome ways,I think it was his experience with computers that brought him out ofhimself and helped him join the world.Finding something he was good at gavehim the confidence hed so badly needed.24.What challenge did Kevin Sargeant have to face in school at first?A.He had a low intelligence.B.He showed no desire for learning.C.He wasnt used to team work.D.He found no kids to make friends with.25.Which of the following words can best describe the changing Kevin?A.Kind-hearted and open-minded.B.Talented and confident.C.Hardworking and independent.D.Humorous and outgoing.26.According to the author,what led to Kevins change?A.His experience with computers.B.His science teachers confidence.C.The requirement for future career.D.The work-based learning program.27.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A.ALonely Talented BoyB.Out of the Shadow into the SunshineC.The Magic of ComputersD.Strength from the Surrounding WorldOne 14th of July,I was attending a baseball game with friends.The eveningwas warm,the beer was cold,and the fireworks were spectacular.And thensuddenly a rocket flew into the flag.The crowd turned angry and beganshouting.One man nearby had tears in his eyes.Just like a similar incident in2014,setting the Stars and Stripes on fire with fireworks is not a good idea.April 2018 marks the 200th year of Congresss formal adoption of thecurrent“design”13 stripes representing the unions original 13 states,and achanging number of stars representing the current states.It allows the flag to beinstantly recognizable that the number of stars changes while the number ofstripes remains fixed.But even though the flag is two centuries old,itsremarkably powerful as a national symbol.Anyone who has travelled to the US will know how ubiquitous the flag is.Itdecorates houses and front yards,flies from cars,and hangs from bridges;school children practise raising and lowering it.Federal law announces that itmust be flown from all public buildings.The United States Flag Code goes into enormous detail.In 50 long articles,itlists everything from when,where and how the flag can be displayed to themethods of dealing with old flags.Americans care so much about the Stars and Stripes because it plays aunique and supreme role in their culture.When making a vow,Americans donot first swear their devotion to the country,but“to the Flag of the UnitedStates of America”.The national song,The Star Spangled Banner,celebrates notthe nation,but the flag.28.Why did the crowd turn angry and begin shouting?A.Because the beer was cold.B.Because the game was boring.C.Because their national flag was set on fire.D.Because a similar incident happened in 2014.29.What does the underlined word“ubiquitous”in Paragraph 3 mean?A.Common.B.Unique.C.Beautiful.D.Pleasant.30.What can we infer about the Stars and Stripes?A.The number of its stripes remains fixed.B.Americans think it of great importance.C.Its also called the Star Spangled Banner.D.It has lost its former glory after 200 years.31.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The Stars and Stripes A Changing FlagB.The Stars and Stripes Flying All AroundC.The Stars and Stripes Burning With TearsD.The Stars and Stripes A Powerful SymbolWhile scientists are still studying to which extent facial recognitiontechnology(FRT)will be used globally years from now,many tech firms arecontinuing to push ahead with its development.Now the organizing committeeof the Tokyo 2021 Olympics and Paralympics is taking notice of the technology,and wants to use it on a huge scale.Developed by NEC Corp.,the committee said the system would aid security(安全)by removing the problem of stolen ID cards and also speed up the flow ofathletes,officials,and media personnel entering the venues(举办地点).To set up the system,photos of faces will need to be uploaded to a databaseso the technology can compare them with the faces of athletes and workerswhen they arrive at a venue.The system has been considered too challenging to operate for audience,whowill be asked to show their tickets at venue entrances as usual.The technologyis of course not smooth sailing.With the Olympics drawing near,how to preventdelays at the gate that could cause much inconvenience and stress to athletespreparing for possibly the biggest moment in their sporting careers is still inquestion.NEC has been developing FRT for many years,and in 2014 hit the headlineswith a system called NeoFace that apparently helped the Chicago PoliceDepartment track down a suspected criminal(罪犯).Recently a fast-foodcompany is currently testing it at one of its restaurants.The machine recognizescustomers from previous visits and uses the data to suggest meal orders basedon past selections.While the technology has resulted in growing interest from companies andorganizations,problems still exist.Privacy advocates are worried that it couldlead to increased public control and the potential limit of civil liberties.Others,meanwhile,question its effectiveness about matters of security,an issue thatthe organizers of the Tokyo Olympics will be studying carefully.32.What do we know about the system from Paragraph 2?A.Its accurate and perfect.B.Its quick but expensive.C.Its helpful and time-saving.D.Its complex and impractical.33.What is required to build a facial recognition system?A.ID cards of athletes uploaded.B.Previous visits of athletes recorded.C.Enough photos of faces stored.D.Facial recognition technology improved.34.What can we infer from Paragraph 4?A.FRT is expected to be improved.B.Tokyo Olympics are drawing near.C.FRT will cause much inconvenience.D.Athletes easily get stressed before competition.35.Whats authors attitude towards FRT?A.Opposed.B.Objective.C.Doubtful.D.Favorable.第二节（共第二节（共 5 小题小题；每小；每小题题 2.5 分，满分分，满分 12.5 分）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。End is Close to Rats in New ZealandYou might have heard that we are only at a distance of a few meters awayfrom a rat.Indeed,its estimated(估计)that there are as many rats as there arepeople on the planet.(1)Recently,the New Zealand government has announced that it would try toget rid of every single rat,opossum(负鼠)and stoat(白鼬)in the country by2050.(2)Also,native species(物种)will be better preserved,because theseanimals are destroying the countrys natural habitats(栖息地).New Zealand is an ancient island which was home to many different wildlifespecies long before humans arrived.Its thought that when people first traveledto the island on ships hundreds of years ago,they brought rats along with themby mistake.(3)Before long,stoats were brought in to control the spread ofrabbits.(4)Over 40 types of flightless birds ended up dying out after theseintroduced species ate their eggs and disturbed their habitats,as the birds wereunable to protect themselves.To carry out the plan,the government will set thousands of traps and evenspread poison across some areas.Scientists are also working on using theCRISPR gene-editing tool to find a way to stop the pests fromreproducing.(5)As science journal Nature wrote,“Once you start getting ridof all the harmful species,youre fighting against the law of nature to someextent.”A.This is not just to make the streets a cleaner place.B.Some think more effective measures should be taken.C.Later,opossums were introduced to the country for their fur.D.However,some worry that the measures may have unwanted effects.E.But for people in New Zealand,the distance may soon be a lot bigger.F.And then,some other foreign species were also introduced to New Zealand.G.In a country with few natural enemies,introducing these species was adisaster.36.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G37.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G38.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G39.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G40.A.AB.BC.CD.DE.EF.FG.G第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分 30 分）分）第一节（共第一节（共 15 小题；每小题小题；每小题 1
