第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

The news that all teachers were expected to attend camp with their students left me feeling unsettled. For the first time in more than 20 years, I would need to spend three days in the early autumn bush with 120 14-year-olds.

I love spending time with teenagers. But I teach Grade 12 English and am 51 years old. There is a difference between a literary seminar on King Lear, no matter how lively it may be, and late-night party in a campground. Besides, my idea of “outdoors” is biking on the Ottawa bike paths or sitting in the backyard with a cup of tea and a good book.

Eventually, we turn down a long dirt track that dives deep into a forest. I read the schedule and note the impressive minute-by-minute detail for the next 72 hours. I've never faced such a structured（高度组织化的） time since, well, when I went to camp in Grade 9. I think of home.

The next morning, I arise early. It is 7 a.m. Time for the polar bear dip. Everyone asks if I am going to swim. I respond with lame excuses and then wander, like a Grade 8 boy at the edges of a middle-school dance. Kids charge in, great plumes（股流） of water rising up around them as they shout with joy. My colleagues link arms, count down and run into the water bravely. Toweling off, the swimmers discuss the water temperature. The regret that I knew I would feel starts to kill me. I will now forever be the guy who did not take part in the polar bear dip. I walk slowly up to the dining hall and decide that from that moment on I will commit fully to camp life. My unwillingness to do anything is replaced with a burning desire to do everything.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, I am the first person on the beach in my bathing suit. I dive into the water. I scream about how good it feels. Toweling off afterward, I talk to anyone within earshot about the temperature of the water.

Later that day, the camp winds down. Something has happened in this camp. To the students, for sure, but also to me. When the last camper leaves, I give the camp director a big hug.

1. How did the author feel before the camp?

A. Angry. B. Disappointed.

C. Anxious. D. Excited.

2. Why does the author mention the literary seminar in Paragraph2?

A. To stress its liveliness. B. To explain its topic.

C. To introduce his preference. D. To show its similarity to camping.

3. Why does the author decide to devote himself to camping?

A. He is fed up with making excuses.

B. He hates to be regret-stricken.

C. He desires to show off his swimming skills.

D. He is encouraged to do so by his colleagues.

4. What happened to the author at the end of the camp?

A. He has used up his energy.

B. He misses home very much.

C.He turns into a camp director.

D. He has become a camp lover.
 

B

Born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, Pennsylvania, Rachel Carson became an explorer as well as reader, and took an interest in writing stories. By age 10, she had published her first story in St. Nicholas. She would often read this magazine, as well as many others that concerned the natural world. In 1925, she finished at the top of her class in high school in a class of 45 students.

Carson went on to attend the Pennsylvania College for Women, which is known as Chatham University now. This is where she ended up pursuing the sciences, in this case, biology. She would eventually attend Johns Hopkins University in 1929, continuing her studies in zoology and genetics.

Carson completed her Master's in zoology in June of 1932, and went to work at a local radio station. Here she would write educational broadcasts for a weekly radio show called Romance Under the Waters. This led her to her job at the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries, and she became just the second woman to be employed by the bureau.

In 1951, Carson had her book The Sea Around Uspublished, which explains the complexity of the ocean to non-scientists. Carson wrote the book with poetry and science, and she intended to spark in her readers a sense of the fragility of the world's ecosystem. The Sew Around Usmade Carson the voice of public science in America, an internationally recognized authority on the oceans, and established her reputation as a nature writer of the first rank.

In 1962, Carson became well-known when her most famous book Silent Spring was published. This book described the negative effects of pesticides on the environment. Her concern with pesticides dated back to the 1940s, but no one would take her seriously until this book was finally published On April 14th, 1964, Carson passed away due to a heart attack but her work towards preserving the environment has continued to this day. Silent Spring was even republished in 1994 with an introduction from then vice-president Al Gore.

5. What do we know about Carson's early life?

A. She was a great fan of St. Nicholas. B. She worked part-time at a radio station.

C. She pursued the sciences in high school. D. She moved to Springdale at the age of 10.

6. According to the text, The Sea Around Us________.

A. is a science book for professionals.

B. was published after Carson passed away.

C. aimed to raise public environmental awareness.

D. has made Carson a fiction writer of international significance.

7. What might be Al Gore's attitude toward Silent Spring?

C

Hardware in generaland smartphones in particular, have become a huge environmental and health problem in the Global South's landfill sites（垃圾填埋场）.

Electronic waste （e-waste） currently takes up 5 percent of all global waste, and it is set to increase rapidly as more of us own more than one smartphone, laptop and power bank. They end up in places like Agbogbloshie on the outskirts （郊区） of Ghana's capital, Accra. It is the biggest e-waste dump in the world, where 10,000 informal workers walk through tons of abandoned goods as part of an informal recycling process. They risk their health searching for the precious metals that are found in abandoned smartphones.

But Agbogbloshie legally should not exist. The Basel Convention, a 1989 treaty, aims to prevent developed nations from unauthorized dumping of e-waste in less developed countries. The e-waste industry, however, circumventsregulation by exporting e-waste labelled as “secondhand goods” to poor countries like Ghana, knowing full well that it is heading for a landfill site.

A recent report found Agbogbloshie contained some of the most dangerous chemicals. This is not surprising: smart phones contain chemicals like mercury, lead and even arsenic. Reportedly, one egg from a free-range chicken in Agbogbloshie contained a certain chemical which can cause cancer and damage the immune system at a level that's about 220 times greater than a limit set by the European Food Safety Authority （EFSA）. Most worryingly, these poisonous chemicals are free to pollute the broader soil and water system. This should concern us all, since some of Ghana's top exports are cocoa and nuts.

Some governments have started to take responsibility for their consumers' waste. For example Germany has started a project that includes a sustainable recycling system at Agbogbloshie, along with a health clinic for workers. However, governments cannot solve the problem alone, as there is an almost limitless consumer demand for hardware, especially when governments' green policies are focused on issues like climate change.

Only the manufacturers can fix this. A more economically sustainable and politically possible solution is through encouraging hardware manufacturers to make the repair, reuse and recycling of hardware profitable, or at least cost-neutral.

8. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?

A.Electronic waste requires more landfill sites.

B. Electronic waste is too complex to get fully recycled.

C. Electronic products need to be improved immediately.

D. Electronic waste can be a serious problem.

9. What does the underlined word “circumvents” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Relaxes. B. Abolishes. C. Avoids. D. Tightens.

10. What should be the biggest concern according to the text?

A. The violation of EFSA's standards.

B. The threat of polluted food worldwide.

C. The lack of diversity in Ghana's exports.

D. The damage to chicken's immune system.

11. What does the author think is the best solution to the e-waste problem?

A. Letting governments take on the main responsibility.

B. Reducing customers' demands for electronic products.

C. Governments adjusting their green policies about e-waste.

D. Manufacturers' developing a sustainable hardware economy.

The new social robots, including Jibo, Cozmo, Kuri and Meccano M.A.X., bear some resemblance to assistants like Apple's Siri, but these robots come with something more. They are designed to win us over not with their smarts but with their personality. They are sold as companions that do more than talk to us. Time magazine hailed （称赞） the robots that “could fundamentally reshape how we interact with machines.” But is reshaping how we interact with machines a good thing, especially for children?

Some researchers in favor of the robots don't see a problem with this. People have relationships with many kinds of things. Some say robots are just another thing with which we can have relationships. To support their argument, roboticists sometimes point to how children deal with toy dolls. Children animate （赋予…生命） dolls and turn them into imaginary friends. Jibo, in a sense, will be one more imaginary friend, and arguably a more intelligent and fun one.

Getting attached to dolls and sociable machines is different, though. Today's robots tell children that they have emotions, friendships, even dreams to share. In reality, the whole goal of the robots is emotional trickery. For instance, Cozmo the robot needs to be fed, repaired and played with. Boris Sofman, the chief executive of Anki, the company behind Cozmo, says that the idea is to create “a deeper and deeper emotional connection ... And if you neglect him, you feel the pain of that.” What is the point of this, exactly? What does it mean to feel the pain of neglecting something that feels no pain at being neglected, or to feel anger at being neglected by something that doesn't even know it is neglecting you?

This should not be our only concern. It is troubling that these robots try to empathize with children. Empathy allows us to put ourselves in the place of others, to know what they are feeling. Robots, however, have no emotions to share, and they cannot put themselves in our place. No matter what robotic creatures “say” or squeak, they don't understand our emotional lives. They present themselves as empathy machines, but they are missing the essential equipment. They have not been born, they don't know pain, or death, or fear. Robot thinking may be thinking, but robot feeling is never feeling, and robot love is never love.

What is also troubling is that children take robots' behavior to indicate feelings. When the robots interact with them, children take this as evidence that the robots like them, and when robots don't work when needed, children also take it personally. Their relationships with the robots affect their self-esteem （自尊）. In one study, an 8-year-old boy concluded that the robot stopped talking to him because the robot liked his brothers better.

For so long, we dreamed of artificial intelligence offering us not only simple help but conversation and care. Now that our dream is becoming real, it is time to deal with the emotional downside of living with robots that “feel.”

12. How are the new social robots different from Siri?

A. They are intended to teach children how to talk.

B. They are designed to attract people with their smarts.

C. Their main function is to evaluate children's personality.

D. They have a new way to communicate with human beings.

13. In Paragraph 3 Cozmo is used as an example to show that the social robots ______.

A. are deeply connected with human beings

B. are unable to build a real relationship with children

C. are so advanced that they can feel the pain of human beings

D. are not good enough to carry out the instructions of children

14. The underlined phrase “essential equipment” in Paragraph 4 refers to ______.

A. emotion B. pain

C. fear D. thinking

15. Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?

I: Introduction    P: Point    Sp: Sub-point （次要点）   C: Conclusion

A.

B.

C.

D.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文.

At the end of the class, Mr. Smith announced our assignment for the next Monday was to talk about someone we were grateful to instead of a book report. Upon hearing it, I couldn't help complaining to Mareya that I was so nervous about having to talk in front of the whole class.

“ Arizona ,you've been in at least three plays ,” Mareya pointed out.“ If you don' t get stage fright in front of those big audiences, why are you bothered by a few kids in our class ?”

It was true, but in a play you were part of a group. I shook my head. Plus, there were so many people I was grateful to. There was no way I could possibly pick just one. Plus, even if I picked one I' d have no idea what to say. Plus, even if I figured out what to say, I was a million- percent positive I' d mess up if I tried to say it out loud! I' d be standing there with everyone staring at me, waiting for words to come out of my mouth.“ Oh , my goodness !” I pulled my sweatshirt hood （ 兜帽） over my face, put my hands over my ears and said,“ I don't want to talk about it !”

But one thing about really good friends who knew you really well was that they didn' t always do exactly what you asked them to. Mareya could be pretty pushy talking of being helpful. She scribbled（潦草地写） something on a piece of paper , lifted my hood, and smiled. She' d drawn a funny elephant （named Franky） with the word BREATHE coming out of its trunk .

“ This is Franky, the ‘everything is going to be all right' elephant ” Mareya giggled. She held the picture up to her ear and asked, “What' s that you say, Franky? You think my friend Arizona should come over to my house this weekend so we can work on our talks together?”
