5．Shortly after being hired as the Resource Coordinator at Wells High School，I set out to establish an area for students to participate in after-school programs．Within the first week of being hired，I began searching the building for a potentialspace but failed．It wasn't until the custodian（看門人）took me down to the basement of he building that I found what I was looking for．
   My first impression of the basement room was that it looked like something from the sene of a Saw movie．The room was filled with old gardening equipment，along with many other random things．My secnd impression of the room was that it had tons of potential．During the first three weeks of August，about 15 students and I began working on it．By the end of August，the room had been cleared out，cleaned and painted．
  The Graffiti-Mural Art Club was established as a result of all the hard work that went into fixing the bassment room．Because this room is on a separate floor from all of the other things going on in the building，students are able to use this room as their own personal studio．They do not have toworry about making too much noise or spilling paint．In this program，students are given the opportunity to design murals（壁畫） on the walls and students can learn about various steet art techniques．The fact that students are able to"tag"on a wall has served as an inducement for students who usually do not participate in extracurricular programs to join．
  Now the Graffiti-Mural Art Club has allured many local street artists within the community．My hope is that this unique program continues to grow over the span of this year．More and more students can enjoy painting．
56．What did the author do within the first week of his new job？（no more than 15 words）The author setoutto establish an area for students to participate in after-school programs．
57．What was the basement room like when the author first waw it？（no more than 5 words）Something from a Saw movie．
58．Why did the author and his students work on the basement room？（no more than 10 words）Students can use this room as their own personal studio．
59．What does the underlined work"allured"in the last paragraph mean？（1 word）Attracted
60．Do you think the Graffiti-Mural Art Club is of any use to the sdudents？Give your reasons（no more than 20 words）Yes，because students have the opportunity to design murals（壁畫）on the walls and can learn about various street art techniques．

4．Rome，Paris and New York are the world's top fashion cities，all of which have produced some of the top
trends，from fashionable skirts to the hottest new shoes．But have you ever wondered about the negative
ideas that they have enforced？
  In April 2016，the Advertising Standards Authority （ASA） in Britain banned an ad from Gucci that
featured models dancing around and having fun，because they were all extremely skinny．Banning ads due
to the models'extreme figures isn't new．The ASA banned an ad in 2015 for the same reason．In France，it
has been ruled that models are to provide a doctor's note proving that they are at a healthy weight．
   So what is the healthy weight for models？Twenty years ago，the average fashion model weighed 8%
less than the average woman．Today，they weigh 23% less．
   People may think that being at an unhealthy weight will help them gain the benefits that the models
do．This provides a standard for beauty，and therefore people who want to achieve those things may
attempt to obtain them through unhealthy ways．People may think they are overweight，due to the images
of models'thin figures．They see something wrong with their bodies，whether they are overweight or not．This is a key factor in a lowered body image，low self-esteem，depression and possibly even eating
disorders．
  I'm not blaming the fashion industry by any means．It's not their fault that many people look up to
the models and expect to live a life like theirs．I am glad that ASA is raising its voices when discussing the
growing issue of body images in the fashion industry．By banning the photos and videos，speaking out
against them and pushing for doctors'notes from the models，it's pushing for the idea that the traditional
fashion industry's body image demands should be changed and something more needs to be questioned．

51．One of Gucci's ads was banned mainly becauseA．
A．its models are much too thin
B．none of its models had a doctor's note
C．models didn't act according to the rules

D．the healthy weight for models hasn't been decided
53．What does the fourth paragraph mainly show？A
A．The negative effects of models'images．
B．People's attitude towards models'images．

D．The changes in the standard of beauty．
54．The possible purpose of the ASA's measures is toB．
A．change the fortune models'are faced with
B．set up new standards of models'body images
C．criticize the traditional standards for models
D．encourage more people to live a life like models
55．What is the author's tone of writing this passage？C
A．Critical．
B．Humorous．
C．Objective．
D．Hopeful．

3．"There are many ways of being smart that aren't smart like us．"These are the words of Patrick Winston，a leading voice in the field of artificial intelligence．Although his idea is simple，its significance has been lost on most people thinking about the future of work．Yet this is the feature of Al that ought to preoccupy us the most．
   From the 1950s to the 1980s．it was generally thought that the best way to build systems capable of performing tasks to the level of human experts or higher was to copy the way that experts worked．But there was a problem：human experts often struggled to explain how they performed many tasks．Chess-playing was a good example．When asked to explain how they played chess well，some grandmasters appealed to"intuition"（真愛），others to"experience"．Many said they did not really know at all．How could researchers build a chess-playing system to beat a grandmaster if the best players themselves could not explain how they were so good？
  A turning point came in 1997．Deep Blue，IBM's supercomputer，beat Garry Kasparov，the ihen world chess champion，in a six-game match．What was most remarkable was how the system did it．Deep Blue did not share Mr Kasparov's"intuition"or"experience"．It won by means of absolute processing power and massive data storage ability．
  Consider the legal world．Daniel Martin Katz，a law professor，has designed a system to predict the voting behaviour of the US Supreme Court．It can perform as well as most specialists，but it does not mirror the judgement of a human being．Instead it draws on data that capture six decades of Court behaviour．
  We see similiar developments in other parts of life．Surely，all these point to a future that is very different from the one most experts are predicting．It is often said that there are many tasks that will always require human beings to perform because machines cannot"think"，"reason"or"feel"like human beings．But this is to fail to grasp that tomorrow's systems will handle many tasks not by copying us but by working in entirely different，unhuman ways．The set of tasks reserved particularly for human beings is likely to be much smaller than many expect．

46．The example of chess-playing mainly shows thatC．
A．it's important for a chess-playing system to beat a grandmaster
B．human experts nave various responses for their good performance
C．it's difficult to build systems by copying the way human experts work
D．the way human experts work can be of great benefit to building systems
47．According to the passage，what's the reason for Deep Blue's success over Garry？D
A．It shared Garry's intuition and experience．
B．It's designed to think like a human expert．
C．Garry was not able enough lo beat supercomputer．
D．It was equipped with a powerful data processing system．
4S．What's ihe author's purpose of writing Paragraph 4？B
A．To present more details．
B．To offer another example．
C．To give further explanation．
D．To share deeper understanding．
49．Which of the following best shows ihe structure of the passage？C
A．①②③--④⑤
B．①②--③④--⑤
C．①--②③④--⑤
D．①--②③--④⑤
50．What can we infer from the last paragraph？B
A．Systems are expected to be more humanlike．
B．More tasks are likely to be handled by systems．
C．Human beings are certain to be replaced by systems．
D．Tasks tomorrow are supposed to be more demanding．

2．Since 2011，the former railway engineer has been driving around the city every single day，looking for abandoned tar（柏油） and gravel（碎石） on roadsides．He collects the material and uses it to fill potholes（坑洼），at times spending his own pension money to do it．Tilak，earning himself the nickname"road engineer"，doesn't restrict himself to his neighborhood-he patches up every pothole he can find in the city．
"After working for the South Central Railway in India for 35 years，I retired in October 2008 and spent some time off in 2009，also traveling to the US to meet my son，"Tilak told the local media．"In January 2010，I came back and took up a jod as a consultant in a software agency．"
"I was driving to my fist day of office when I ended up splashing dirty mud water on school children after my car fell into a pothole on the road，"he recalled．"Then a few more accidents followed at various places．"He kept explaining to the police that these accidents wouldn't have occurred if the roads had been smooth．But then he witnessed a major accident that changed everything．
   Tilak decided to take charge of matters of himself．"After that，I quit my job and for the next year till June 2012，I spent my pension money in fixing roads，"he said．
   Tilak's wife was worried about his health and called his son to talk some sense into him．But the son was so impressed that he ended up helping Tilak instead，by setting up a website and Facebook page．As more and more residents got to know of it，they began to show up mand help Tilak fix the city's potholes．Today，they even have a helpline where people can call to complain about potholes in their areas．
   Tilak's son also managed to get the government on their side．Tilak doesn't accept donations，but he encourage people to join in the physical work．He hopes that with media attention，he can inspire a change attitude of the general public．He believes that the"nothing-can-be-done"attitude is what limits a lot of people in the city，and he wants that to change．

19．第一節(jié)  完形填空
When you are living a fully-scheduled life，every minute counts．No matter how many ways you divide your （41）A，there-s never enough time in a day to catch up．
Six years ago，I was  （42）Bwith a care-free，stop-and-smell-the-roses type of （43）D．When I needed to rush out，she was taking her sweet  （44）A  picking out a purse and a shining crown．When I needed to have a  （45）B 1unch，she'd stop to speak to the elderly woman who looked like her grandma．Whenever my child caused me to deviate（偏離） from my main （46）C，I thought to myself，we don-t have time for this．（47）A，the two words I most commonly spoke to my little lover of life were："（48）D！"
Then one day，things  （49）B．We'd just picked up my older daughter from kindergarten and were getting out of the car．Seeing her little sister not going fast enough for her liking，my older daughter said，"You are so （50）D．"When the older one crossed her own arms，it dawned on me that her annoyed look （51）Cthat of mine．I saw the damage my hurried existence was doing to （52）A．of my children．

18．See a cellphone cover that you like on Taobao？Forget about placing an order，paying the bill online and waiting for days for it to be delivered to you．In the near future，you'll be able to get it in minutes just by hitting"print"on your computer．You might find it hard to believe that you could actually"print"an object like you would a picture．But it is not that hard to understand how it would work．Just as a traditional printer sprays ink onto paper line by line，modern 3D printers spread material onto a surface layer by layer，from the bottom to the top，gradually building up a shape．
Instead of ink，the materials the 3D printer uses are mainly plastic，resin（樹脂） and certain metals．The thinner each layer is-from a millimetre to less than the width of a hair-the smoother and finer the object will be．This may sound like a completely new technology，but the truth is that 3D printing has been around since the late 1980s．Back then，it was barely affordable for most people，so few knew about it．
Last year，though，saw a big change in the 3D printing industry-printers became much cheaper．For example，10years ago a desktop 3D printer might have cost￡20，000，while now they cost only about￡1，000，according to the BBC．Taken out of the factory and introduced to more diverse and common uses，3D printing can create just about anything you can think of-flutes，bikinis，jewelry，aircraft parts and even human organs．In fact，scientists from Cornell University in New York have just made an artificial ear using a 3D printer，according to Science Daily．The fake ear looks and acts exactly like a natural one．
However，as 3D printing becomes more common，it may bring about certain problems-such as piracy．"Once you can download a coffee maker，or print out a new set of kitchen utensils （餐具） on your personal 3D printer，who will visit a retail store again？"an expert in 3D printing told Forbes News．Even more frightening，what if anyone in the world could use a 3D printer to print out a fully functioning gun？

32．According to the article，in the future，the 3D printing technology willB．

B．change the way we make many products
C．be applied as widely in our daily life as computers
D．shorten the time it takes for people to get what they buy online
33．What happened in the 3D printing industry last year？D
A．The 3D printing technology was taken out of the factory．

C．The 3D printer was used for medical treatment for the first time．
D．The 3D printer became more affordable for consumers（消費(fèi)者）．
