D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （12分） I recently went to a charity party. At the end of the visit our host told us that the following Monday was his birthday.

7

He asked if, as a gift to him, we would do something kind for someone else on that day. I thought that was a terrible birthday idea! The following Monday, I saw my neighbor, a new mother, in the garden with her baby, I went outside to say ―hello‖ to her. During the talk, she told me, not in a complaining way but just as a matter of fact, about the sleeplessness and the challenges to get anything done with a baby followed by. I remembered the charity party host‘s request and said, ―Hey! Why don‘t I watch your baby for an hour! I will just hang out with him here in the back garden and you go in and take an hour to yourself.‖ She was so surprised that she almost cried. ―Are you serious? Would you be able to do that?‖ ‖ of course!‖ I said. ―I‘d be happy to!‖ An hour later she came outside with a smile on her face. ―I have got so much done!‖she told me, and I told her that I had sung every kid‘s song I knew and had a good time hanging out with the baby, too. And I was so happy to see her smiling like that. It was one of the best presents I‘ve ever given, and it has given me the desire to ask the same from all my friends this year. I know it will make me feel great to know my friends are out there sharing their wisdom and time with people who can really use it. 88. The following Monday was the host‘s birthday, wasn‘t it? 89. What did he ask his friends to do as a gift to him? 90. What did the writer decide to do on the following Monday? 91. How did the writer look after his neighbor‘s baby? 92. Why was the writer so happy when his neighbor came outside? 93. What‘s your opinion on the birthday present in the story? (answer the question in no more than 20 words ) Passage 2. D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分） Humans have five senses: sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. We use these senses every day of our lives when we work, play, eat and drink. Animals have senses too, and sometimes they work much better than ours. We have our food prepared for us－but animals need to find their own food using their senses. For example, animals that hunt other animals often have very good sight. Some birds can see a mouse at a distance of 1.5 kilometres. However, they don?t always catch the mouse. Mice have very, very good hearing and this helps them get away from danger! Insects sometimes have senses that are different from ours. For example, butterflies don?t taste with their mouth－they taste with their feet. Crickets（蟋蟀）don?t hear with their ears－they hear with their legs. Chameleons have two eyes separately and look in two different directions at the same time! Some animals seem to have a special sense that tells them about the future. Birds, ants and many other animals are busier looking for food just before bad weather. This helps them stay alive because it?s more difficult to find food when the weather is bad. They know that bad weather is coming. Birds also use this ability to get out of bad weather when they fly long distances. For centuries, people have noticed that animals often behave strangely before an earthquake. For example, in January 1975, a lot of farmers in one part of China told scientists that their horses and cows didn‘t want to go inside their barns（畜棚）. A few days later, there was a large earthquake in that region. Do animals have a special sense that knows when earthquake will happen? The answer is probably yes, but scientists do not yet understand how it works. 88.Humans have over four senses , don‘t they ?

Tamsen Bell, an eighteen-year-old girl from California in America, can answer yes to all those questions. She joined the Marine Search and Rescue Team when she was only 14 years old---the youngest age you can do this. She spent the hardest time in the team. She had to be trained for 60 hours to learn about first aid, climbing, map reading and rescue techniques(技术) before she began to help others. But she gained a lot from her teacher and teammates. The training gave her the confidence to do the job. Now she is one of 20 youth volunteers(志愿者) in the rescue team whose motto(座右铭) is \trouble in the wild countryside of California. So she usually had to stay up and got up early the next morning. When Tamsen was 16 years old, she helped to rescue an elderly woman who had fallen 50 feet down a steep cliff（陡峭悬崖）.The woman broke her neck and couldn't move. What’s more, it was snowing heavily that afternoon. It was so cold that she had to cover the old lady with her own clothes. Tamsen had to work out what injuries the woman and how they could rescue her.She had to stay with the lady for 8 hours until the rescue team could lift her carefully back up the mountain to safety. The next day she had to lie in bed because of the bad cold. It's tough work, but Tamsen thinks it's worth it. She says \from different people.\makes the life more meaningful. 93.

(12分) Before moving to Xiamen in 1988,--the American man William Brown had already lived in over 30 cities around the world. At that time, he had no thought that he would spend the rest of his life in Xiamen and enjoyed his life there so much. Now as a professor of management at Xiamen University, Brown has been teaching business studies since 1989. In 1988, William arrived in Xiamen with his family-his wife and two sons. Xiamen in the 1980s was not a nice place to live in. People burned coal and the air was polluted. He had to carry candles to the bookstore because the electricity 'was awful.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通畅，每空限填一词，首字母已给出）：（14分） Nowadays, English learning becomes an essential part among our Chinese students. But how to learn English well is a problem puzzled most of us. Some people suggest that good memory is the most important factor in English learning. While others hold the o___81__ idea. In my opinion, I completely agree with the first view. First, some people have very good memory and can easily learn quite long poems by heart while others can only remember the same things when they have to repeat them again and again. In the same way, a good memory is a help in learning a foreign language. So with a good memory, we can get twice the r___82____ with half the effort in English learning. In contrast, if we don‘t have good memory, we can‘t remember English words and sentences quickly. Then it is much harder for us to learn English well. Language learning is a process of memorizing and forgetting. In order to learn English well, we should memorize the same words and sentences over and over again until we can remember them for a long time. So good memory plays the most important role in learning English. Besides, an a______83____ Greek poet once said,― Memory is the mother of language learning.‖ For an absolutely necessary factor in learning English. W____84___ good memory, hardworking

11

and buried the treasure in it. Then they made a map of where the treasure was or wrote down other clues（线索）that would help them or someone else to find it again.

In Britain a few years ago, a writer wrote about some treasure that he had buried. He put clues in the story to help readers find it. Thousands of people hunted for the treasure. They dug holes all over Britain, hoping to find it.

One of the most popular adventure stories ever written is Robert Louis Stephenson's“Treasure Island”, an exciting story about a young boy, Jim Hawkins, who is captured by pirates (海盗) and later finds some buried treasure.

Then there is the true story about a man who had to travel overseas for a year. He did not trust banks, so he buried his life savings in a park. Then he went away. On his return, he went straight to the park. But the park was no longer there. In its place there was a huge building.

And then there was a woman who buried her savings, all in bank notes, in a waterproof（防水的）bag. When she dug it up years later, there was nothing left. Worms and insects had eaten the bag and everything in it.

And of course, these are stories about people who bury things and either forget where they have buried them or lose the map.

Although it is true that people sometimes lose their money because a bank fails, banks are still the safest place to keep our savings and treasures.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （12分）

AlphaGo (阿尔法围棋), a computer program has beaten a master Go player（围棋选手）Lee Se-dol (李世石) 4-1 in a competition. Lee, one of the greatest players who has won 18 world championships for 21 years of his professional career. It is seen as a landmark（里程碑）moment for artificial intelligence（人工智能）. The AlphaGo system was developed by British computer company Deep Mind which was bought by Google in 2014.

Mr. Lee had expressed his confidence ahead of the match but after losing the first contest, he said ―I was very surprised because I did not think I would lose the game‖. Lee Se-dol said he felt ―regrettable (遗憾)‖ about the result of the contest. At a press conference held after the final match, Mr. Lee said he did not necessarily think AlphaGo was superior to (优于) humans. But he said he had more studying to do, and admitted the matches had challenged some of his ideas about the Go game. And the victory of the computer has led to some introspection (反思).

Go originated more than 2,500 years ago in ancient China, and is one of the oldest board games played today. It is considered one of the most complex board games. It is played on a board made up of a grid (网格) of 19 by 19 squares. The game opens with players taking turns to place black and white playing pieces, known as ―stones‖, on the vacant intersections, known as the ―points‖(空白交叉点) of the board. The aim, as the translation of its name means, is to surround a larger total area of the board than your opponent (对手) by the end of the game.

The contest was held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, and has attracted huge attention. The first match was live broadcast and watched by 60 million viewers in China alone, with an estimated global audience of 100 million. The AlphaGo's developer will get 1 million U.S. dollars in prize, which will be donated to charities.

88. Lee Se-dol hasn‘t won over AlphaGo in the game, has he?

________________________________________________________ 89. Who made the AlphaGo system ?

________________________________________________________ 90. How did Lee Se-dol feel before the match?
