I went on my first volunteer project in West Virginia. On the night we arrived, we discovered that “our family” was living in a trailer(拖车) that was in poor condition. A crew had been working on it for two weeks, but every time they finished one problem, another surfaced. We decided the only reasonable solution was to build a new housesomething unusual but necessary under these circumstances. The family was overjoyed at their new house that was twenty feet by thirty feet with three bedrooms, a bath and a kitchen.On Tuesday of that week, while we ate lunch together, I asked the family's three boys, Josh, Eric and Ryan, “What do you want for your new room?” Expecting toys and other gadgets that children usually ask for, we were surprised when Josh responded, “I just want a bed.”The boys had never slept in a bed! They were accustomed to plastic mats. That night we had a meeting and decided that beds would be the perfect gifts. On Thursday night, a few adults in our group drove to the nearest city and bought beds and new bedding.When we saw the delivery truck coming, we told the family about the surprise. We could hardly contain ourselves. It was like watching excited children on Christmas morning.That afternoon, as we fitted the frames of the beds together, Eric ran into the house to watch us. Too dirty to enter his room, he observed with wide-eyed enthusiasm in the doorway.As my father slipped a pillowcase onto one of the pillows, Eric asked, “What is that?”“A pillow,” he replied. “What do you do with it?” Eric continued to ask.“When you go to sleep, you put your head on it,” I answered softly. Tears came to our eyes as he handed Eric the pillow.“Oh.that's soft,” he said, hugging it tightly.Now, when my sister or I start to ask for something that seems urgent, my dad gently asks, “Do you have a pillow?”We know exactly what he means.4.What was the writer's first volunteer project?A.Working on a poor trailer.B.Helping a poor family.C.Donating beds and bedding.D.Dealing with a housing problem.5.On hearing Josh's answer, why was the writer shocked?A.Because the family lived in a trailer.B.Because he expected to get some toys.C.Because he didn't know what a bed was.D.Because the boys had no bed to sleep in.6.From the passage, we can learn that Eric had never seen before. A.a trailerB.a truckC.a pillowD.a house7.By saying “Do you have a pillow?”, what does the writer's father mean?A.He means what they want to get may be unnecessary.B.He means they should not waste money on small things.C.He means they should do more volunteer work for the poor.D.He means what he will buy is not what they want but a pillow.CIn 2015, a man named Nigel Richards memorized 386,000 words in the entire French Scrabble Dictionary in just nine weeks. However, he does not speak French. Richards's impressive feat is a useful example to show how artificial intelligence worksreal AI. Both of Richards and AI take in massive amounts of data to achieve goals with unlimited memory and superman accuracy in a certain field.The potential applications of AI are extremely exciting. Because AI can outperform humans at routine tasksprovided the task is in one field with a lot of datait is technically capable of replacing hundreds of millions of white and blue collar jobs in the next 15 years or so.But not every job will be replaced by AI. In fact, four types of jobs are not at risk at all. First, there are creative jobs. AI needs to be given a goal to optimize. It cannot invent, like scientists, novelists and artists can. Second, the complex, strategic jobsexecutives, diplomats, economistsgo well beyond the AI limitation of single field and big data. Then there are the as-yet-unknown jobs that will be created by AI.Are you worried that these three types of jobs won't employ as many people as AI will replace? Not to worry, as the fourth type is much larger:jobs where emotions are needed, such as teachers, nannies and doctors. These jobs require compassion, trust and sympathywhich AI does not have. And even if AI tried to fake it, nobody would want a robot to tell them they have cancer, or babysit their children.So there will still be jobs in the age of AI. The key then must be retraining the workforce so people can do them. This must be the responsibility not just of the government, which can provide funds, but also of corporations and those who benefit most.8.What is the main purpose of Paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic.B.To mention Nigel's feat.C.To stress the importance of good memory.D.To suggest humans go beyond AI in memory.9.Which of the following best explains “outperform” underlined in Paragraph 2?A.Be superior to.B.Be equal to.C.Be similar to.D.Be related to.10.Which of the following jobs is the most likely to be replaced?A.The writer.B.The shop assistant.C.The babysitter.D.The psychologist.11.What does the text suggest people do about job replacement of AI?A.Limit the application of AI to a certain degree.B.Get more support from the government.C.Apply for the donation from companies.D.Upgrade themselves all the time.DNew Jersey Middle School Makes Students Go Phone-FreeA middle school in Union County, New Jersey, is forcing its students to stay disconnected in class, by prohibiting cellphones. Maxson Middle School Principal Kevin Stansbury put forward the phone ban last week after he noticed some major issues in the school. “Our test scores were down, and discipline was up,” he says. According to him, students were too focused on their phones to pay attention to their lessons. So, he purchased Yondr pouches for the school.Yondr pouchWhen students come into class each morning, they place their phone in the pouch, which is then locked up tight. It can only be opened using a special device at the end of the day. The ban on mobile devices applies not just during class time but during breaks, with the only exceptions being in times of emergency or in cases of students who need such devices to help with disabilities.Eighth-graders who spoke with News 12 New Jersey say that they noticed a change in a matter of hours. “It's just better for everyone because you'll understand how it feels to get more work done instead of paying attention to the phone,” says student Charlene V. “I was usually listening to music, but today I get to communicate with all my friends,” says student Desiree Duncan.The program originally met with resistance from students and parents, so the process was not that smooth. But teachers and administrators say that the program will have a major impact. “Students are talking and laughing and there are no cellphones other than being carried in the pouches,” Stansbury says.Teacher Nia Cummings says she even noticed students bouncing ideas off each other in class. She says students used to give up quickly and just look for answers on their phones. They now try to figure it out themselves. “They are socializing and eating lunch together. That's what I wasn't seeing enough of when phone usage was at its worst,” she adds.Maxson Middle School is currently the only one in the district to use these pouches. Kevin Stansbury also convinced all the schools in the community that it's worth paying close attention to cellphone issues at secondary schools and taking action when necessary.12.Maxson Middle School put forward the phone ban because students . A.weren't focused on school workB.were always listening to musicC.used phones to cheat in examsD.stopped talking with others13.What did the two eighth-graders tell the News 12?A.Opposition from students.B.Teamwork with friends.C.Daily routine at school.D.Effect of the program.14.According to Nia Cummings, what change has the phone ban brought?A.Students discuss more in class.B.Students finish their work on time.C.Students guess the answers themselves.D.Students check messages during the break.15.It can be inferred from the passage that the phone ban . A.has brought little change to teaching and learningB.has gained support from every student and parentC.might be carried out in other schools in the communityD.might have good influence on students' health conditions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。Whether you volunteer at an animal shelter or in a hospital, volunteering is a wonderful opportunity to bring good into the world and support your community. There are a lot of different volunteering opportunities. 16 Here are some tips on how to be an even better volunteer. Volunteer for something you love.17 If your passion is helping those with cancer, volunteer to raise money for research. If you're passionate about improving the environment, volunteer to pick up trash in public places. Your passion will keep you motivated, so put your effort into something you treasure. 18 You are probably not best suited for directing traffic if you are shy. Be respectful to those organizers, but let them know your strengths and show them how your strengths can be beneficial to your volunteer work. Find the balance that brings your talents to the table and really helps the organization. Be on time. This is a simple but important idea. Think about being late for your work:your boss, co-workers and customers would be upset. The same applies to volunteering.19 Mix your volunteer jobs. If you become bored, it may be time for a schedule change in your life.20 It is volunteering, so you aren't stuck in one place. A.Offer what you can do best.B.Ask what's expected of volunteers.C.So if such a thing does happen, just call and let them know.D.It doesn't matter what it is, but it does matter what you like.E.Therefore, everyone can find a volunteering opportunity that suits their skills and interests.F.However, you will volunteer longer in an organization that supports a cause you care about.G.Volunteer on different days or ask for different tasks to see what other opportunities are out there.16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 第二部分语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The Glover kids in Newburgh, New York, want to make a little extra money themselves before school starts.
