60、n nowadays. However, many feel such claims are overblown. Kentaro Toyama, a professor at the University of Michigan School of Information, is one of those doubtful about the idea of using AI in the classroom. Toyama mentioned a situation he encountered while working in an after-school program in dig

61、ital literacy（数字技术素养）. He said, “In trying to teach students to use technology, the greatest difficulty is the technology itself. As soon as he looked away from the students, they would “very quickly find the most fun games they could find on the computer and start playing them”. That reveals the pr

62、oblem with putting too much faith in Al for teaching. “There is great potential for it to be a distraction. he said.

70、的注意力。”）可知，划线词在此处指的就是AI，选项A符合题意，故选A。33. 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The result showed that nobody would send their children to a school with powerful AI but no teachers, or one with bad teachers but strong computers. Toyama concluded, Good teachers are what matters; everything else is secondary compared to that.”（结

71、果显示，没有人会把自己的孩子送到人工智能强大但没有老师的学校，或者是老师很差但电脑很强大的学校。Toyama总结道: “好老师才是最重要的，其他一切都是次要的。”）可知，Toyama的调查得出结论：好的老师在教育上是重要的。所以本段主要是强调教育的关键因素是老师。选项A与文意一致，故选A。34. 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Toyama is also concerned that AI and technology may widen the gap between disadvantaged schools and wealthier schools.”（Toyama还担心，人工智能和技

72、术可能会扩大贫困学校和富裕学校之间的差距。）可以推知，在Toyama看来，人工智能和技术可能会扩大贫困学校和富裕学校之间的差距。选项D.“Al and technology may unbalance educational resources.”（人工智能和技术可能造成教育资源的不平衡。）与文意相符，故选D。35. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A number of people hold an optimistic attitude toward artificial intelligences ability to reshape education nowadays. However, m

73、any feel such claims are overblown.”（对于人工智能重塑教育的能力，现在有不少人持乐观态度。然而，许多人认为这种说法是夸大其词。）第三段中“There is great potential for it to be a distraction. he said.”（他说: “这（AI）很有可能分散人们的注意力。”）第五段“Toyama is also concerned that AI and technology may widen the gap between disadvantaged schools and wealthier schools.”（T

74、oyama还担心，人工智能和技术可能会扩大贫困学校和富裕学校之间的差距。）最后一段“When asked when schools should adopt AI, Toyama suggested that they should wait until the basics are in place, teachers want it, and the technology is proved to have positive educational values.”（当被问及学校什么时候应该采用人工智能时，Toyama建议他们应该等到基础设施到位，教师需要它，而且这项技术被证明具有积极的教

75、育价值。）可以推知，本文针对公众对人工智能在教育上的使用的态度，结合研究人员Toyama所做的调查所得出的结论，提到人工智能和技术在教育上的应用只有等到基础设施到位，教师需要它，而且这项技术被证明具有积极的教育价值的时候才可以应用。因而本文的标题应为“是否应在教育上应用人工智能”，选项B符合文意，故选B。第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。The year 2020 marks the beginning of the decade of the yold, or the “young old”， as t

80、customers who want to manage their pension pots more actively.39. They find that older workers have, if anything,slightly above-average productivity and that teams of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all.Societies should be better off because public spending on health and

81、 pensions should be lower than expected, as people work longer and need less medical care.Today,some big things will have to change, under pressure from the yold themselves. The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that 60-somethings ought to quie

82、tly retire into the background. 40. The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and,in the process,help change attitudes towards aging itself.A. Healthy yold people will require great changes in health spending.B. Many companies discriminate against older workers by offering trainin

83、g only to younger ones.C. The rise of the yold will definitely be a blessing to both culture and economy.D. Health worsens with age,but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.E.Many bosses think productivity falls with age,but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.F.That will disturb con

B【解析】这是一篇议论文。本文从日本老龄化社会出发，论述了悠得人群体日渐成为社会生产力和消费力的现象。36. 下一句“The yold are more numerous, healthier and wealthier than previous generations of seni

85、ors.(与上一代老年人相比，悠得人的数量更多，更健康，也更富有)”说明悠得人比上一代老年人的数量更多，更健康，也更富有，因此，G项“The yold, in their new appearance as the young old, are expected to change the world(悠得人，以他们年轻老人的新面貌，有望改变这个世界)”符合语境，选项中的“new appearance”是关键词，与下文构成顺承关系，故选G项。37. 下一句“Of the 3.7 years of increased life expectancy(预期寿命)in rich countries

86、between 2000 and 2015, says the WHO, 3.2 years were enjoyed in good health.(世卫组织称，2000至2015年间，富裕国家的预期寿命延长了3.7年，其中有3.2年是在良好的健康状态下度过的)”提到世界卫生组织的调查结论，随着人们预期寿命的增长，健康的年限也在增长，且下文的“Working is one of the factors that are helping people stay healthy longer. ”说明工作有益健康，可推知，首句必然和健康有关，因此，D项“Health worsens with a

87、ge, but the yold are resisting the decline better than most.(健康状况随着年龄的增长而恶化，但悠得人比大多数人更能抵抗这种衰退)”符合语境，与最后一句“The yold are also better off, while the wealth of all other age groups declined.(悠得人群的境况也更富有，而其他所有年龄组的财富都在下降。)”呼应，介绍悠得人群的优点。故选D项。38. 上文“The yold are not just any group of old people They are cha

88、llenging the traditional expectations of the retired as who are wearing indoor shoes and look after the grandchildren. (悠得人并非仅是一波寻常的老人。他们正在挑战人们对退了休的人穿着拖鞋、照看孙儿这种惯有的预期)”以及下文“So they are vital to the Tourism industry. They are also changing education and finance (因此，它们对旅游业至关重要。他们也在改变教育和金融)”谈到，这批人将改变对老人

89、的传统印象，认为老人是待在家里的照顾孙子孙女的，下文谈到是老人开始成为航空业、旅游业的常客，甚至超过了年轻人，可推知，该题干要体现出与常识不同的差异性，因此，F项“That will disturb consumers, service and financial markets(这将扰乱消费者、服务业和金融市场)”符合语境，该选项中“disturb”是关键词，与上下文呼应。故选F项。39. 下文“They find that older workers have, if anything, slightly above-average productivity and that teams

90、of workers from multiple generations are the most productive of all(他们发现，若要说有什么区别的话，老年员工的生产率略高于平均水平；而由来自不同代际的员工组成的团队生产率最高)”谈到，年长的工人的效率会更高，因此，E项“Many bosses think productivity falls with age, but studies in Germany suggest otherwise.(许多老板和人力资源部门认为生产率会随年龄增长而下降，但是德国的研究表明并非如此)”符合语境，反驳一些人所认为的工作效率随年龄增长而倒退

91、的观点。故选E项。40. 上文“The most important is public attitudes towards older people and in particular the expectation that 60-somethings ought to quietly retire into the background(最重要的是公众对老年人的态度，尤其是对60多岁的人应该悄悄退居幕后的期望)”以及下文“The yold will demand that companies become more age-friendly and, in the process, he

92、lp change attitudes towards aging itself.( 悠得人将要求公司变得更“高龄友善”，并在这一过程中帮助改变人们对于“变老”这件事本身的态度)”提到，一些人认为60岁以上的员工应该迎接退休，下文又谈到了悠得人的诉求，希望公司变得更“高龄友善”，可推知，B项“Many companies discriminate against older workers by offering training only to younger ones(许多公司歧视年长的工人，只给年轻人提供培训)”符合题意，符合上下文反对年龄歧视的语境。故选B项。第三部分：语言运用（共两节

114、意：科学家们惊讶地发现，即使是“X”符号似乎也能提供一些保护。A. recognition 识别；B. damage 损害；C. danger 危险；D. protection保护。根据文章最后一句“Only four of the 543 cows with Xs were killed.”可知，此处指“X”符号也能起到“保护”作用。故选D。第二节：语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。Are you impressed by the mountains in Avatar?

120、素/j/，所以只能用不定冠词a。故填a。62. 考查名词。句意：张家界是必游之地。张家界国家公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，它见证了旅游业的蓬勃发展，刺激了经济增长，并为当地人提供了大量的就业机会。因空格前有形容词economic作定语，所以填入名词。故填growth。63. 考查名词复数。句意：张家界是必游之地。张家界国家公园现已被联合国教科文组织列为世界遗产，它见证了旅游业的蓬勃发展，刺激了经济增长，并为当地人提供了大量的就业机会。job opportunity(工作机会)是固定名词词组，又因前有a lot of(大量的)作定语，所以应使用其复数形式job opportunitie

122、后面名词ways。再结合句意可知表示“最轻松”，应用effortless。故填effortless。66. 考查非谓语动词。句意：体验这个地区最快最轻松的方式之一就是乘坐世界上最高的户外电梯。因空格前有介词by,所以因填入动名词形式作宾语。故填riding。67. 考查动词时态及语态。句意：326米高的玻璃白龙电梯建于本世纪初的悬崖边，提供了惊人的风景公园。分析句子结构可知，空格处为句子中谓语动词。因主语The 326-meter-tall glass Bailong Elevator与动词build之间是被动关系，故使用被语态，再结合语境可知“修建”已经完成，所以应使用一般过去的被动词语态。

127、hought think 7. On In 8. meaningfully meaningful 9. 去掉For后面的the 10. drawing drawn【解析】1. 考查宾语从句。句意：有时我们的同学谈论我们能在毕业前为学校做什么。分析句子可知we can do for our school before graduation为宾语从句，连接词在从句中作宾语，意思是“什么”，应用连接代词what。故将that改为what。2. 考查名词。句意：我们有不同的建议。分析可知，advice为不可数名词，没有复数形式，故将advices 改为advice。3. 考查不定式。句意：有些人认为给

128、学校图书馆捐赠一些参考书和/或笔记本是一个好主意。分析句子可知，此处为固定句型it is + n + to do“做某事是”，it是形式主语，真正的主语应该是donate的不定式结构，故在donate前加to。4. 考查连词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，books 和 notebooks是并列或者选择的关系，根据语境，故将but改为and/or。5. 考查代词。句意：通过这样做，如果必要的话，同学们将能够阅读它们。分析句子可知，此处应用them指代的是上文的books 和 notebooks。故将it改为them。6. 考查时态。句意：另一些人认为在教学楼旁边种树是好的，可以使学校更漂亮。分析句

129、子可知，本篇文章描述的都是一般事实，应用一般现在时，故将thought改为think。7. 考查固定短语。句意：在我看来，我们可以做一些有意义的事来纪念我们的学校生活。短语in ones opinion为固定搭配，意为“在某人看来”，故将On改为In。8. 考查形容词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，应用形容词meaningful修饰不定代词something，作后置定语。故将meaningfully 改为meaningful。9. 考查固定短语。句意：例如，我们可以做一些志愿工作或给学校寄一些自己画的画，这可以唤起我们的黄金记忆。短语for example是固定搭配，意为“例如”，故去掉For后面

130、的the。10. 考查过去分词。句意：同上。分析句子可知，此处为非谓语动词作后置定语，修饰名词pictures，名词和draw之间是被动关系，应用过去分词。故将drawing改为drawn。第二节：书面表达（满分25分） 假如你是李华。你的新西兰朋友Mark在邮件中提到对中国历史很感兴趣，想请你给他介绍一位你喜欢的中国历史人物。请你给Mark回信。内容包括：1. 你喜欢历史人物是谁；2. 该历史人物的主要贡献；3. 该历史人物对你的影响。注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。Dear Mark,There are many famous people in
