A
Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.
The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.
In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water meters. They can detect(探测) water waste and leakage(泄漏) and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. This way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.
Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App(应用程序) that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.
51. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Digital technologies are used in smart cities.
B. An English company first raised the idea of a smart city.
C. A smart city is mainly made up of free Wi-Fi and phones.
D. A smart city is still an idea and hasn’t come into being.
52. The underlined word “convenient” is the closest in meaning to _______.
A. useful B. normal C. suitable D. easy
53. Compared to traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in _______.
A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water
54. The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects(方面) EXCEPT _______.
A. business B. health care C. traffic controlling D. public transportation
55. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Digital technologies help improve city planning.
B. Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.
C. Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander.
D. Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.
B
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of humans. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
56. People with little education usually _______.
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs D. have a smaller chance to get a good job
57. The earliest education was probably to _______.
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
58. The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.
A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的 C. 公平的 D. 全面的
59. It is expected that educated people will be able to _______.
A. accept education as a way of living B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and math
60. The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better-paid jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
C
Every year thousands of people get hurt or die when they are crossing the road. Most of these people are old people and children. Old people often get hurt or die because they can’t see or hear very well. Children often get hurt or die because they are not careful. They forget to look and listen before they cross the road.
How can we lower traffic accidents? First, (64)all of us must obey the traffic rules. For the drivers, they shouldn’t drive too fast. If they drive too fast, it will be very difficult to stop the cars in a very short time. For the pedestrians(行人), first, they must be careful when they are walking on the road. When we walk across the road, we must try to walk underpasses(地下通道) or footbridges(步行桥). We must walk the crosswalk. (65)We must stop and look both ways before crossing the road. Look left first, next look right, and then look left again. Only when we are sure that the road is clear can we cross it. The right way to cross the road is to walk quickly. It’s not safe to run. If people run across the road, they may fall down. Second, try to help children, old people or the blind people to cross the road. Third, never play in the street.

21. B in front of“在……前面”，指在某物外部的前面。
22. A nobody“没有人”;everybody“每个人”;somebody“某个人”;anybody“任何人”。由答语后句句意“我自己打扫的”可推知没有人帮助她，故选A。
23. C be full of与be filled with同义，意为“充满，装满”。
24. D size意为“尺寸，尺码”;design意为“设计”;price意为“价格”;color意为“颜色”。由答语句意“当然!你穿红色衣服看起来总是很漂亮”可知问句句意应为“你认为这条裙子的颜色适合我吗?”故选D。
25. A get on“上车”。
26. B 由题干及句意“大部分学生喜欢那些很理解他们的老师”可知本题含有定语从句，引导定语从句时which修饰表示物的先行词;who修饰表示人的先行词;where修饰表示地点的先行词;when修饰表示时间的先行词。空格前的teachers是表示人的名词，用who来修饰，故选B。
27. D in one go意为“一下子，一口气”。
28. A even if引导让步状语从句，意为“即使”。句意：我即使一夜不睡，也要帮助你。
29. B as usual“像往常一样”;at first“最初;起初”;after all“毕竟”;so far“到目前为止”。由But now it’s widely used in every field.(但是它现在被广泛应用于每一个领域)中的now (现在)及表示转折关系的but推知前句句意为“最初因特网只被政府使用”。故选B。
30. B 本题考查一般过去时态。由句中的时间状语last month(上一个月)可知应用一般过去时态。故选B。
31. D a few修饰可数名词复数，表示肯定意味。
32. A the number of表示“……的数目”，后面的谓语动词用单数形式。a number of表示“许多”，修饰可数名词。
33. A 问句中介词短语in red(穿红色衣服)作定语修饰woman，由此可知此处是特指，前面应加定冠词the，排除B、D两项;虽然university的第一个字母是元音字母，但其读音以辅音音素开头，其前用不定冠词a。故选A。
34. B 句意为“六月是一年中的第六个月”。
35. B visitor的所有格是visitor’s;后句用名词性物主代词mine作主语，代指my car。
36. A conversation意为“交谈，谈话”;report意为“报告”;survey意为“调查”;speech意为“演讲”。由文章第三段第三句中的this phone call changed his life(这次通话改变了他的人生)可知，此处应选A项，表示“但最近和他妈妈的一次谈话改变了他的人生”。
37. D so意为“所以”;but意为“但是”;therefore意为“所以”;however意为“然而”，用于句首时，与句子其他部分要用逗号隔开。由前句句意“他过去不常给他妈妈添麻烦”和空格后面的叙述，特别是第二段第二句Unfortunately, Martin still caused problems.可知，此处应表转折关系。再由空格后的逗号可知，应选D项。
38. C 空格后的more difficult是形容词的比较级，而选项A和D用于修饰形容词或副词原级;选项B是形容词，修饰名词复数;much可修饰比较级，表示程度，故选C。
39. B 由上文His mother couldn’t afford to pay for her child’s education.(他的妈妈不能支付她孩子的教育费用)可知，此处句意应为“为了做到这一点，她不得不工作，所以经常不在家”。have to意为“不得不”，表示由客观原因决定必须做某事，故选B。
40. C look after意为“照看，照顾”，是动词短语，应用副词修饰，故排除D项。而A、B两项意思不符合语境。well是副词，意为“好，好地”，符合语境要求。句意：他的妈妈尽可能好地照顾他。
41. D 由上句句意“不幸的是，马丁仍然闯了不少的祸”和后半句句意“他经常麻烦缠身”可知，此处句意应为“他对学习不感兴趣”。短语be interested in doing sth.意为“对做某事感兴趣”，故选D。
42. B worried意为“担心的”;patient意为“有耐心的”;careful意为“仔细的”;serious意为“严肃的”。由马丁四处闯祸可知，此处句意应为“幸运的是，他的妈妈非常有耐心，而且她从未放弃过尽力帮助他”，故选B。
43. A make a decision是固定搭配，意为“下决心”。故选A。
44. D argue with意为“与……争吵”;say不与with搭配;discuss的搭配为discuss sth. with sb.;talk with意为“与……谈话”。由后面的with可知，B、C两项首先排除;而A项在此不符合语境，故应选D项。句意：老师说马丁有必要跟他妈妈谈一下。
45. C to one’s surprise是固定搭配，意为“令某人惊讶的是”，此处surprise用作名词，意为“惊讶，惊奇”。
46. B 分析该句结构可知，空格处在此引导一个表语从句，且在从句中作needed的宾语，what有此双重功能，故选B。
47. D see意为“看见”，强调看见的结果;notice意为“注意”，指注意到某事或某物，强调动作;help意为“帮助”;watch意为“注视”，强调状态。分析上下文可知，此处表示“……爸爸虽然不再与我们在一起了，但他一直在注视着我……”，强调的是一种持续的状态，故选D。
48. A since意为“自从”;before意为“在……之前”;after意为“在……之后”;when意为“当……的时候”。由后面my father died, I have been afraid of being alone...可知，此处符合“since+一般过去时态的从句，主句用完成时态”这一句型特点，所以选A。
49. C always意为“总是，一直”;hardly意为“几乎不”;really意为“确实”;just意为“仅仅”。由下文的He has been working hard and is now one of the best students in his class.(他一直努力学习，并且现在是班上最好的学生之一)可知马丁发生了很大的变化，故正确答案为C，表示“现在马丁确实变了”。

51. A 由文中第二段a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies(智能城市是一个使用数码技术的城市)可知，A项正确;而由The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010.(智能城市的想法是由美国IBM公司于2010年提出的)可知B项是错误的;由文章第一段最后一句中In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.(实际上，所有这些可以看作是智能城市的基础部分)可知C项说法不全面;由第三段第一句In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US.(2009年，迪比克成为美国第一个智能城市)可知D项不正确。故选A。
52. D useful意为“有用的”;normal意为“正常的”;suitable意为“合适的”;easy意为“容易的;舒适的”。结合第一段第一句Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier?(你注意到你的生活变得更容易些了吗?)可知make our life convenient中的convenient与easy同义，故选D。

55. B 由文中提及的“城市智能化能让人们的生活更方便、省钱、节能”可推知，文章的中心思想应该是：智能城市会让未来的生活更好、更智能。故选B。

Dear Tina,
Thank you for your letter.
I know that you want to visit China. That’s a good idea. As you know, Beijing is the capital of China. It has a long history, and there are many places of interest, such as the Great Wall, the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace. Summer and Autumn are the best time to come to Beijing. You can go surfing in Dalian or Qingdao in summer. The waves there are very beautiful. I’m sure you will have a good time in China. I’m looking forward to seeing you soon.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Ming
