I’ll send you the full itinerary (行程) next week. The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) (Boston, USA) shows what it describes as “art too bad to be ignored”. The museum hopes to bring the worst of art to the widest possible audience. As part of the visit, we’ll be shown some truly awful portraits, landscapes and sculptures. The Devil’s Rope Museum (in Mclean, Texas) and The Kansas Barbed Wire Museum (in Lacrosse, Kansas) both claim to have the best barbed (有刺的) wire collections, telling the story of the wire’s role in the development of America. We’ll be visiting both of these. The Washington Banana Museum (Auburn, Washington, USA) contains 4,000 objects related to the history of what the museum describes as “the world’s most perfect fruit.” During a guided tour around the museum, we’ll learn all sorts of interesting things, such as the fact that bananas were introduced to the USA in 1878 in the same exhibition as Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone, and that banana is now the US’s number-one selling fruit. The Hair Museum (Avanos, Turkey) is located in a cave in Cappadocia, in Central Anatolia. It contains 16,000 samples of people’s hair. You’ll be offered a chance to add your own hair to the collection. Later in the year, the museum manager selects 10 donors to attend a pottery workshop.

Later in the year, the museum curator selects 10 donors to attend a pottery workshop. If you’re one of them, you’ll be invited to stay in his guest house. 1. What do these four Museums have in common? A. They are all located in the USA. B. They accept exhibits donated by visitors. C. They exhibit the things with a long history. D. They show some odd things around the world. 2. What does The Museum of Bad Art (MOBA) show? A. Complete collections of barbed wire. B. A large number of samples of people’s hair. C. Some really terrible but noticeable art works. D. Some beautiful portraits drawn by famous people. 3. Why was Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone mentioned in paragraph 4? A. To explain the origin of bananas. B. To arouse visitors’ interest in the museum. C. To emphasize the importance of the exhibition. D. To compare the value of bananas and telephones. B Dressed in a dark blue waterproof (防水) jacket, outdoor shoes and a small backpack, 25-year-old Ye Tian tries to get in an abandoned coking plant in Beijing. An intern (实习生) for a German company in Beijing, Ye is among thousands of youth interested in city adventures, which they call urban exploration-4urbex' for short. The aim of this trending (流行) hobby is to explore structures — usually abandoned ruins or hidden areas of the manmade environment. Urban explorers are interested in these sites because they can understand cities from a different angle. Ye, for example, said he enjoyed the contrast between Beijing's two sides. Widely known scenic spots and historical sites can only reflect the bright side of the city, or what the city wants you to see, Ye said. “But abandoned places show you the past (that is) hidden deep in people's memories." In the eyes of Pan Ran, who is in her early 30s and works in Canada, an abandoned building can also evoke (引起，唤起) the spirits of those who lived and worked there. “There are diaries and letters recording the owner's lives,” she said. “And one time, I found a whole box of 8-millimeter videotapes of a family? Pan couldn't watch the tapes at the site, as the power supply had been cut. She didn't take them away with her either, as there is a very important rule of urbex that you can't remove any souvenirs from a site", Pan said. While urban exploration can get people to extraordinary places that few have visited, it's sometimes dangerous. Climbing up tall buildings and tip-toeing through abandoned structures can sometimes be a life-threatening affair. Injuries and even death are not unheard of within the urbex community. "In the beginning, I was pretty audacious and believed the riskier the places you go, the better photos you get," said Du Tianyu, 22. "But that is not necessarily the case. After doing my calculations, I learned to stop when I reach the limit." 4. According to the text, why do urban explorers like to visit abandoned places? A. To escape the crowdedness of cities. B. To take breathtaking pictures. C. To appreciate different aspects of a city. D. To know about the lives of the people who left. 5. What does Pan say is an important rule of urban exploration? A. Don't take things from a site. B. Don't buy souvenirs when exploring structures. C. Only explore abandoned sites with long histories. D. Share travel diaries or journals within the urbex community. 6. The underlined word “audacious” in the last paragraph probably means_____ . A. cautious B. adventurous C. passionate D. curious 7. What's the best title for the passage? A. Travel in Big Cities B. Visit a City's Historical Sites C. Experience a City's Life D. See a City's Secrets C Research published in the journal High Temperature found that an hour-long soak in hot water produced similar blood sugar responses to 60 minutes of moderate physical activity. Sound too good to be true? While the research on these effects is still initial (初步)，there is a plausible explanation for this. "It seems that activities that increase heat shock proteins (热体克蛋) may help to improve blood sugar control and offer an alternative to exercise," the lead study author Steve Faulkner wrote. “These activities—such as soaking in a hot tub or taking a sauna (桑拿) — may have health benefits to people who are unable to exercise regularly. to an hour- long session of cycling or an hour-long session in a 40℃bath. The scientists discovered that both groups were better able to control their blood sugar levels in the 24 hours following their soak were approximately 10 percent lower than those of the participants who exercised. Researchers say this implies that “passive heating" (a means of rising your body temperature) could assist in lowering blood sugar levels. Passive heating can affect proteins in the body called heat shock proteins, which helps regulate blood sugar. People with diabetes (糖尿病) tend to have lower levels of heat shock proteins. Passive heating can raise these levels. It's critical to point out a few limitations of the study. For starters, the experiment only monitored men, so it's difficult to say if the same effect would happen in women. It also only included 14 volunteers, which was an extremely small sample size. More research needs to be conducted before scientists can come to any official conclusion. And, of course, you should still continue exercising regularly. That being said, the study does offer some more promising insights (见解) into the healing effects of hot water. 8. What does the underlined word “plausible” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Strange. B. Ridiculous. C. Reasonable. D. Confusing. 9. What can we know about the research by the U. K.'s team? A. Cycling made no difference to blood sugar levels. B. People with diabetes usually have higher levels of heat shock proteins. C. 14 lean and 14 overweight men were involved in the research. D. A 24-hour tracking and monitoring was carried out after the one-hour activities. 10. How should scientists improve this study? A. By extending the study period. B. By changing the research method. C. By including women in the research. D. By adding more scientists involved in the investigation. 11. Which of the following best expresses the author's main point of view? A. When you run a fever you get passive heating. B. Passive heating can raise levels of heat shock proteins. C. The research is of significance in spite of some imperfection. D. You need either a hot bath or regular exercise to keep healthy. D The idea that computers have some amount of “intelligence” is not new, says Ralph Haupter, the president of Microsoft Asia, pointing as far back as 1950 when computer pioneer Alan Turing asked whether machines can think. “So it has taken nearly 70 years for the right combination of factors to come together to move AI from concept to reality,” says Haupter. It is predicted that the development of artificial intelligence will be the story of the coming generations, not just the coming year, but as 2019 gets underway, you’ll find AI will begin to touch your life in many ways according to some researchers. “Personal assistant AIs will keep getting smarter. As our personal assistants learn more about our daily routines, I can imagine the day I need not to worry about preparing dinner. My AI knows what I like to eat, which days of the week I like to cook at home, and makes sure that when I get back from work all my groceries are waiting at my doorstep, ready for me to prepare that delicious meal I had been longing for.” ---Alecjandro Troccoli, senior research scientist, NVIDIA. “Thanks to AI, the face will be the new credit card, the new driver’s license and the new barcode (条形码). Facial recognition is already completely transforming security with biometric capabilities being adopted, and seeing how technology and business are connected, like Amazon is with Whole Foods, I can see a near future where people will no longer need to stand in line at the store.” ---Georges Nahon, president, Orange Institute, a global research laboratory. “2019 will be the year AI becomes real for medicine. By the end of the year we’re seeing solutions for population health, hospital operations and a broad set of clinical specialties quickly follow behind.” ---Mark Michalski, executive director, Massachusetts General Hospital. 12. What can we know about AI from the first two paragraphs? A. People didn't expect AI to develop so rapidly. B. The idea of AI just came up recently. C. The concept of AI was put forward by Ralph Haupter. D. It took more than 70 years to turn the concept into reality. 13. Who sees the future of AI doing housework instead of human being? A. Alan Turing. B. Georges Nahon. C. Mark Michalski. D. Alejandro Troccoli. 14. What is Georges Nahon’s job? A. Executive director of a hospital. B. President of a research laboratory. C. Chairman of an energy corporation. D. Chief operating officer of a newspaper. 15. How is the passage developed? A. By explaining cause and effect. B. By presenting research results. C. By listing some predictions. D. By describing personal experiences. 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。 Our society is becoming increasingly overweight. 16. Similar to humans, overweight pets have a much higher risk of health problems. Dr. Katrina Warren shares her expert advice on the issues, causes and treatments for overweight pets. Recent estimates suggest over a third of overweight pets are suffering from health problems. Diabetes (糖尿病) and diseases related to heart top the list of weight-related disease. To put it simply, weight issues occur when pets consume more kilojoules (千焦) than they use. Owners are a key part of the problem. 17. 18. Working out regularly helps keep pets in shape. As pets no longer need to hunt for their food, they typically enjoy a comfortable lifestyle, lazing around indoors, thus gaining weight easily. What’s more, food should always be adjusted to a pet’s energy requirements. 19. They assume the pet will control its own intake. So it’s easy to fall into the trap of feeding your pet whenever it begs for food. Fortunately, there are plenty of diet and lifestyle changes to help your pets maintain a healthy weight. For example, pets will benefit from more exercise in their daily life, like eating food. Don’t put food in their bowls. 20. Meanwhile, you can also consult experts about guidance for a healthy diet. Anyway, provide them with an appropriate diet and proper amounts of exercise, and you may have healthy pets. A. They’re related to the diet. B. So are our lovely friends — pets. C. Another contributing factor is lack of exercise. D. Try encouraging the pets to exercise step by step. E. Yet many owners provide constant access to food. F. They ultimately decide what and how much the pets eat. G. Rather, spread some food around your house so your pets must find it. 第二部分　语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Running for a Dream I will never forget that November day. It was hotter than normal. This was the 21 my father and I had waited so long for, because we had been working towards this race for three years. Dozens of familiar faces from church and school flashed across my view. They had come 22 me. I saw worry and 23 on my father’s face. Then the race began! For the first two and a half miles. I felt 24 . I had never before been so ready for something. The weeks leading up to the race were filled with controlled 25 and a strict diet. My friends hadn’t seen me in weeks, but they understood the 26 required to make my dream a reality. As in all of my races, I didn’t 27 out in the front, I loved the pleasure of passing people as my strength overtook their premature speed. Then without warning, my strength began to decrease. Neck and neck with one of my greatest competitors, I 28 see the finish line. I had begun the final dash into 29 when my knees became weak and my legs gave way. Nothing I could do would make them 30 weight. I watched as runners rushed by me. 31 I knew my dreams of victory were destroyed. I had to finish the race. However, my legs hurt badly. With all of the 32 left in me, I got on my hands and knees and crawled(爬), inch by inch，across the finish line. Voices, both 33 and familiar, cheered me on. They gave me the courage to keep 34 until the very end. The doctors were there in seconds, but my eyes searched the crowd for him. There was only one person I wanted to 35 to. I whispered, “I’m so sorry, Dad, I’m so sorry I 36 you.” He looked at me, saying, “You could never disappoint me. Sometimes these things just 37 . All that matters is that you did your best.” “But we worked so 38 . What about our dream?” He reached over for my hand and said, “Don’t you know that you are my dream and it has come true?” It wasn’t long before my running shoes were back on, marking a 39 path for my jou
