Zhao. ‎ one of the authors of the study, said. “I think the threat towards society is large and it really misleads users and shakes our belief in what is real and what is not. I think that' s going to be even unimaginable.”‎ To test how believable these reviews came across, the researchers invited 40 volunteers and had AI generate five fake reviews for 40 actual restaurants. The volunteers were asked how useful they thought the review was and whether or not they thought it was fake. The AI reviews ranked as “effectively indistinguishable” from real reviews，according to the study. Further, the fake reviews were given a 3.15 "usefulness" rating, compared to a 3.28 rating for human reviews.‎ ‎32. What can the new artificial intelligence system do according to the passage？‎ A. It can help train new reviewers.‎ B. It can tell the real reviews from the fake ones.‎ C. It can write human-like reviews.‎ D. It can easily damage the businesses.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined word "rival'' mean in the passage?‎ A. A person who respects you deeply.‎ B. A person who competes with you.‎ C. A person who loves to give fake reviews.‎ D. A person who can control you from distance.‎ ‎34. What can we infer from Ben Y. Zhao's remarks?‎ A. Artificial intelligence can put the society in danger.‎ B. The artificial intelligence is only used by the researchers C. Ben Y. Zhao is optimistic about the further development of artificial intelligence.‎ D. The artificial intelligence will help people shake.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for the passage?‎ A. Tips Suggestions on Giving Reviews.‎ B. How to Tell the Fake Reviews.‎ C. Development of AI in Review on Yelp.‎ D. AI is Coming to Steal Your Reviews. ‎ 参考答案：32-35.C B A D ‎[三]‎ HOTEL INFORMATION Baymont Inn Ft. Lauderdale ‎3800 W. Commercial, Ft. Lauderdale.

It is on the Southern Hermisphere of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is nearly as large as that of Shanghai.‎ Enough laws have been made to fight against pollution. The cities in ‎ Australia have little air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish in the rivers. Plants grow very well.‎ Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flower exhibition. There we saw large numbers of wild flowers on show, most of which we had never seen before. We had a wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. Every year in spring Perth has a wild flower exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves very much .When we heard bells ringing at the top of the hills, we looked tip, but what we saw made us pick up all our things and run back to our car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us along the path.‎ Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos.

The team's data only went up to 2007， but the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers ‎ replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function， such as a tablet for word processing and TV viewing．They found that more on-demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%．‎ ‎32．What does the author think of new devices?‎ A．They are environment-friendly． B．They are no better than the old．‎ C．They cost more to use at home． D．They go out of style quickly．‎ ‎33．Why did Babbitt's team conduct the research?‎ A．To reduce the cost of minerals．‎ B．To test the life cycle of a product．‎ C．To update consumers on new technology．‎ D．To find out electricity consumption of the devices．‎ ‎34．Which of the following uses the least energy?‎ A．The box-set TV． B．The tablet．‎ C．The LCD TV． D．The desktop computer．‎ ‎35．What does the text suggest people do about old electronic devices?‎ A．Stop using them． B．Take them apart．‎ C．Upgrade them． D．Recycle them．‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎32．A【解析】根据对第一段的整体理解可知，与新的电子设备相比，过时电子设备不仅耗能高，而且危害环境，所以可推断出，新的电子设备是环保的，故选A项。根据文章第一段中的“as these outdated devices consume much more energy than the newer ones that do the same things” 可知，新的电子设备耗能低，比旧设备好，故B、C项错；本文未提及电子设备的过时速度快，故D项错。‎ ‎33．D【解析】根据文章第二段第一句中的“To figure out how much power these devices are using, Callie Babbitt and her colleagues at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York tracked the environmental costs for each product throughout its life”可知，Babbitt的团队做这项研究的目的是计算电子设备的耗电情况，故选D项。‎ ‎34．B【解析】根据文章最后一段最后一句“They found that more on—demand entertainment viewing on tablets instead of TVs and desktop computers could cut energy consumption by 44%”可知，用平板电脑替换电视机和台式电脑会节省44%的能耗，根据第二段中的“LCD TVs entered…showed up in 2007”可知，平板电脑应比液晶电视耗能低，故选B项。‎ ‎35．A【解析】根据文章最后一段第二句中的“the researchers also explored what would happen if consumers replaced old products with new electronics that serve more than one function”可推断出，文章建议用多功能的新设备来替换过时设备，即停止使用过时设备，故选A项。take apart“拆卸”；upgrade“使升级”；recycle“回收利用”。‎ ‎[六]‎ Many of us love July because it’s the month when nature’s berries and stone fruits are in abundance．These colourful and sweet jewels form British Columbia’s fields are little powerhouses of nutritional protection．‎ Of the common berries, strawberries are highest in vitamin C, although, because of their seeds, raspberries contain a little more protein (蛋白质), iron and zinc (not that fruits have much protein)． Blueberries are particularly high in antioxidants (抗氧化物质)． The yellow and orange stone fruits such as peaches are high in the carotenoids we turn into vitamin A and which are antioxidants．As for cherries (樱桃), they are so delicious who cares? However, they are rich in vitamin C．‎ When combined with berries of slices of other fruits, frozen bananas make an excellent base for thick, cooling fruit shakes and low fat “ice cream”．For this purpose, select ripe bananas for freezing as they are much sweeter．Remove the skin and place them in plastic bags or containers and freeze．If you like, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown．Frozen bananas will last several weeks, depending on their ripeness and the temperature of the freezer．‎ If you have a juicer, you can simply feed in frozen bananas and some berries or sliced fruit．Out comes a “soft-serve” creamy dessert, to be eaten right away．This makes a fun activity for a children’s party；they love feeding the fruit and frozen bananas into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below．‎ ‎24．What does the author seem to like about cherries?‎ A．They contain protein． B．They are high in vitamin A．‎ C．They have a pleasant taste． D．They are rich in antioxidants．‎ ‎25．Why is fresh lemon juice used in freezing bananas?‎ A．To make them smell better． B．To keep their colour．‎ C．To speed up their ripening． D．To improve their nutrition．‎ ‎26．What is “a juicer” in the last paragraph?‎ A．A dessert． B．A drink． C．A container． D．A machine．‎ ‎27．From which is the text probably taken?‎ A．A biology textbook． B． A health magazine．‎ C．A research paper． D． A travel brochure．‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎24．C【解析】根据第二段的倒数第二句可知应该选C项，樱桃很美味。have a pleasant taste与be so ‎ delicious表义相同。A项是raspberries的特征；B项是对yellow and orange stone fruits的特征的曲解；D项是blueberries的特征。‎ ‎25．B【解析】根据第三段倒数第二句“If you like，a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the bananas will prevent them turning brown”可知，把新鲜的柠檬汁挤到香蕉上会防止它变色。其他选项是主观臆断，与本文所述内容不符。‎ ‎26．D【解析】根据画线部分下文中的“they love feeding...into the top of the machine and watching the ice cream come out below”可推断出，juicer应该是“榨汁机”的意思。考生很容易误选B项，误认为画线部分是一种饮料，其实本段最后一句中的“the machine”应该是猜测的关键，定冠词the表示上文提到过的事物，这样就可以直接推出画线部分指代的是什么。‎ ‎27．B【解析】全文主要介绍了一些七月成熟的果实以及这些果实的营养成分等，而这自然与健康饮食有关，介绍这类内容的文章应该是刊载在健康杂志上的。考生很容易误选C项，这是受到了第二段对营养成分的介绍的干扰，因此误认为本文摘自研究性论文。‎ ‎[七]‎ There’s a new frontier in 3D printing that’s beginning to come into focus：food．Recent development has made possible machines that print, cook, and serve foods on a mass scale．And the industry isn’t stopping there．‎ Food production With a 3D printer, a cook can print complicated chocolate sculptures and beautiful pieces for decoration on a wedding cake．Not everybody can do that — it takes years of experience, but a printer makes it easy．A restaurant in Spain uses a Foodini to “re-create forms and pieces” of food that are “exactly the same,” freeing cooks to complete other tasks．In another restaurant, all of the dishes and desserts it serves are 3D-printed,rather than farm to table．‎ Sustainability(可持续性）‎ The global population is expected to grow to 9．6 billion by 2050, and some analysts estimate that food production will need to be raised by 50 percent to maintain current levels． Sustainability is becoming a necessity． 3D food printing could probably contribute to the solution．Some experts believe printers could use hydrocolloids (水解胶体) from plentiful renewables like algae(藻类) and grass to replace the familiar ingredients(烹饪原料)． 3D printing can reduce fuel use and emissions．Grocery stores of the future might stock "food" that lasts years on end, freeing up shelf space and reducing transportation and storage requirements．‎ Nutrition Future 3D food printers could make processed food healthier．Hod Lipson, a professor at Columbia University, said, “Food printing could allow consumers to print food with customized nutritional content, like vitamins．So instead of eating a piece of yesterday’s bread from the supermarket, you’d eat something baked just for you on demand．”‎ Challenges Despite recent advancements in 3D food printing, the industry has many challenges to overcome．Currently, most ingredients must be changed to a paste(糊状物) before a printer can use them, and the printing process is quite time-consuming, because ingredients interact with each other in very complex ways．On top of that, most of the 3D food printers now are restricted to dry ingredients, because meat and milk products may easily go bad．Some experts are skeptical about 3D food printers, believing they are better suited for fast food restaurants than homes and high-end restaurants．‎ ‎46．What benefit does 3D printing bring to food production?‎ A．It helps cooks to create new dishes．‎ B．It saves time and effort in cooking．‎ C．It improves the cooking conditions．‎ D．It contributes to restaurant decorations．‎ ‎47．What can we learn about 3D food printing from Paragraphs 3?‎ A．It solves food shortages easily．‎ B．It quickens the transportation of food．‎ C．It needs no space for the storage of food．‎ D．It uses renewable materials as sources of food．‎ ‎48．According to Paragraph 4, 3D-printed food ________．‎ A．is more available to consumers B．can meet individual nutritional needs C．is more tasty than food in supermarkets D．can keep all the nutrition in raw materials ‎49．What is the main factor that prevents 3D food printing from spreading widely?‎ A．The printing process is complicated．‎ B．3D food printers are too expensive．‎ C．Food materials have to be dry．‎ D．Some experts doubt 3D food printing．‎ ‎50．What could be the best title of the passage?‎ A．3D Food Printing：Delicious New Technology B．A New Way to Improve 3D Food Printing C．The Challenges for 3D Food Production D．3D Food Printing：From Farm to Table 参考答案：‎ ‎46．B【解析】根据题干中的food ‎ production可定位到第二段。这一段说，有了3D打印机，厨师就能打印出复杂的巧克力雕塑等，做到这样的事需要多年的经验，而3D打印机很容易做到这一点；一些餐馆使用这种技术能将厨师解放出来去完成其他工作。由此推断，3D打印机能节省厨师的很多时间和努力，因此选B。A项犯了理解错误，文章只说厨师能被解放出来完成其他工作(to complete other tasks)，没有说3D打印机能帮助厨师创造新的菜肴；C项属于空穴来风，文章没有提到3D打印机能改善烹饪环境；D项属于移花接木，文章说3D打印机能为婚礼蛋糕打印出漂亮的饰品，而不是有助于装饰餐馆。‎ ‎47．D【解析】第三段谈到3D打印机打印食物的可持续性发展，说它能解决食物可持续发展的问题，因为它可以使用可再生的藻类和草中的水解胶体来代替目前的烹饪原料。由此可推知，3D打印机使用可再生的原料作为食物来源，因此选D。本段提到3D食物打印或许有助于解决食物的可持续发展问题，因此A项不对；本段没有提到B项“加快食品的运输”和C项“不需要储存食物的空间”。‎ ‎48．B【解析】第四段提到，3D食物打印能让消费者按照自己的需求来打印含有定制的(customized)营养成分的食物。因此3D打印的食物能满足个人的营养需求。‎ ‎49．C【解析】根据题干可知本题的答案应在文章最后一段。该段谈到3D食物打印面对的挑战，其中最主要的问题是，打印机只能处理干燥的原料，因为肉类产品和奶类产品很容易变质。由此可知选C。最后一段谈到3D打印机打印食物的过程很费时间，但这不是阻止3D打印机打印食物的主要原因，因此A项错误；该段没有提及3D食物打印机价格昂贵，故B项错误；有些专家对3D食物打印机持怀疑态度，认为它们更适合快餐业，与题干不符，因此D项错误。‎ ‎50．A【解析】本文介绍了3D食物打印机的相关信息，谈到其发展现状，它使用的原料有利于食物的可持续发展，人们可以根据自己的营养需求来私人定制食物，但是其发展也受到某些限制。因此本文的标题应该选A项“3D食物打印：美味的新技术”。本文没有提到B项“改善3D食物打印的新办法”，C项是本文的一部分内容，D项的“3D食物打印：从农场走向餐桌”不符合文章的内容。‎ ‎[八]‎ In the 1760s, Mathurin Roze opened a series of shops that boasted（享有）a special meat soup called consommé．Although the main attraction was ‎ the soup, Roze’s chain shops also set a new standard for dining out, which helped to establish Roze as the inventor of the modern restaurant．‎ Today,scholars have generated large amounts of instructive research about restaurants．Take visual hints that influence what we eat：diners served themselves about 20 percent more pasta（意大利面食）when their plates matched their food．When a dark-colored cake was served on a black plate rather than a white one, customers recognized it as sweeter and more tasty．‎ Lighting matters, too．When Berlin restaurant customers ate in darkness, they couldn’t tell how much they’d had：those given extra-large shares ate more than everyone else, but were none the wiser—they didn’t feel fuller, and they were just as ready for dessert．‎ Time is money，but that principle means different things for different types of restaurants．Unlike fast-food places, fine dining shops prefer customers to stay longer and spend．One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round：put on some Mozart(莫扎特）．When classical, rather than pop, music was playing, diners spent more．Fast music hurried diners out．Particular scents also have an effect：diners who got the scent of lavender（薰衣草）stayed longer and spent more than those who smelled lemon, or no scent．‎ Meanwhile, things that you might expect to discourage spending—＂bad＂ tables, crowding, high prices — don’t necessarily．Diners at bad tables — next to the kitchen door, say — spent nearly as much as others but soon fled．It can be concluded that restaurant keepers need not ＂be overly concerned about ‘bad’ tables,＂ given that they’re profitable．As for crowds, a Hong Kong study found that they increased a restaurant’s reputation, suggesting great food at fair prices．And doubling a buffet’s price led customers to say that its pizza was 11 percent tastier．‎ ‎58．The underlined phrase ＂none the wiser＂ in paragraph 3 most probably ‎ implies that the customers were ．‎ A．not aware of eating more than usual B．not willing to share food with others C．not conscious of the food quality D．not fond of the food provided ‎59．How could a fine dining shop make more profit?‎ A．Playing classical music． B．Introducing lemon scent．‎ C．Making the light brighter． D．Using plates of larger size．‎ ‎60．What does the last paragraph talk about?‎ A．Tips to attract more customers．‎ B．Problems restaurants are faced with．‎ C．Ways to improve restaurants’ reputation．‎ D．Common misunderstandings about restaurants．‎ 参考答案：‎ ‎58．A【解析】根据第三段内容可知，在餐馆里的灯光昏暗的情况下，顾客判断不出自己吃了多少食物，即使吃多了也不会觉得饱，因为他们意识不到自己比平时吃得多。故答案为A。B项中的share与第三段中的shares意思不同，考生容易误解。C项中的quality与文意不符，文章强调的是量的问题。D项在文中未提及。‎ ‎59．A【解析】根据第四段中的“One way to encourage customers to stay and order that extra round: put on some Mozart．．．diners spent more”可知，要想让顾客在餐馆多停留、多消费，餐馆可以播放古典音乐，故A项符合题意。根据第四段的最后一句可知，柠檬味对于留住顾客效果并不好，故B项错误。根据第三段可知，餐馆里的灯光暗一些，效益会更好，因此C项错误。D项描述文中未提及。‎ ‎60．D【解析】根据最后一段的首句可知，人们认为的一些会阻止顾客消费的因素都不一定会是如此；下文围绕此进行了说明。故本题答案为D项。‎ ‎[九]‎ A

No previous experience is required to attend a class.‎ D. None of the courses is suitable for kids.‎ 参考答案：21-23. C DC ‎[十]‎ What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer graysand blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.‎ ‎ A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .‎ ‎ Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.‎ ‎28. According to this passage, _______________.‎ A. one can choose his color preference ‎ B. one is born with his color preference C. one’s color preference is changeable ‎ D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly ‎29. If someone choose a red handkerchief, he will probably do the following things EXCEPT___.‎ A.Becoming a leader.‎ B.Joining the Student Union.‎ C.Always complain and blame others.‎ D.Getting along well with others ‎ ‎30. “I am feeling black” means ____________.‎ A.
