As nearing the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag (杂货袋) and a baby. She was trying to unlock the car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly rushed into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiledin relief.
“Thanks!” She said. “You’ve got great timing!” “Just being neighborly,” Mark said.

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!

Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. Facebook says the new machine translation model was created to help its more than two billion（十亿） users worldwide. The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品） in the future.
Angela Fan, a researcher at Facebook, introduced the new machine translation model this week on one of the company’s websites. She said the model brings better results than other machine learning systems that depend on（依靠） English to help in translation. The other systems use English as a middle step —like a bridge — to translate between two non-English languages.
One example would be a translation from Chinese to French. Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. This is done “because English is most widely used,” she said. But such a way can lead to mistakes in translation.
Facebook says about two-thirds of its users communicate in a language that is not English. The company already does about 20 billion translations every day on its website. But it faces a huge test with many users speaking out large numbers of words in more than 160 languages.
The development team trained（培训） the new model on 7. 5 billion sentence pairs for 100 languages. In addition, the system was trained on a total of 2,200 language directions. Facebook said this is 10 times the number on the best machine translation models in the past.
1. According to the passage, how many translations does Facebook probably do on its website every week
A. 2 billion B. 7. 5 billion
C. 20 billion D. 140 billion
2. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to（指代）
A. Developing machine learning models.
B. Translating Chinese into different languages.
C. Using English as a middle step.
D. Communicating on the Facebook.
3. According to the passage which of the following about the new model is NOT true
A. It does not depend on English in translation.
B. It makes fewer mistakes in translation.
C. It is now used by more than two billion people.
D. It was trained much more than the models in the past.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Facebook’s first machine learning model.
B. How to translate languages without using English.
C. Different kinds of machine translation models.
D. The hard work Facebook does to develop the new model.
【答案】1. D 2. C 3. C 4. A
【解析】本文介绍了脸书研发的第一个机器学习模型。
1推理判断题。根据“The company already does about 20 billion translations every day on its website. ”可知该公司每天在其网站上的翻译量约为200亿次。一周的翻译量是1400亿次。故选D。
2推理判断题。根据“One example would be a translation from Chinese to French.Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. ”可知很多翻译模式想将中文翻译成法语，会先将中文翻译成英文，然后再翻译成法语。这是将英语当成中间步骤。故选C。
3推理判断题。根据“The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品）in the future.”可知这个翻译模式还在测试中，现在并没有被用户使用。故选C。
4主旨大意题。根据“Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. ”可知本文主要介绍脸书第一个机器学习模型。故选A。

【解析】1句意：——我不想错过你下周的聚会。——别担心。我会在聚会前一天给你打电话。根据上文“I don’t want to miss your party next week.”和参考词汇可知，聚会下周举行，担心自己错过对方下周的聚会，对方表示不要担心，此处应是聚会前我将给你打电话，call sb表示“给某人打电话”，时态为一般将来时，主语为I，空处需填“will/shall+动词原形”，call“打电话”，动词。故填will/shall call。
2句意：在出生时，他仅重3千克，但现在他又高又壮。根据“He...only 3 kilograms at birth, but now he is tall and strong.”和参考词汇可知，他出生仅3千克，现在又高又壮，可推测此处是出生时仅重3千克，空处缺少谓语，时态为一般过去时，动词用过去式，weighed“称重”为动词weigh的过去式。故填weighed。
3句意：——快点！世界杯决赛马上就要开始了。——一分钟。我正在阅读我的电子邮件，然后我准备看电视。根据语境和参考词汇可知，对方告知世界杯要开始了，答语为一分钟，且表示我看完邮件再去看电视，即此处应是我正在读我的电子邮件，句子缺少谓语，时态为现在进行时，空处需填“be+现在分词”，主语为I，be动词用am，reading“读”为动词read的现在分词。故填am reading。
4句意：妈妈正悄悄地走向灌木丛，看看她的猫是否正藏在那里。根据“Mum was walking towards the bushes quietly to see if her cat...there.”和参考词汇可知，妈妈正悄悄地走向灌木丛，可推测此处是看看猫是否正藏在灌木丛里，句子为if引导的宾语从句，从句缺少谓语，主句时态为过去进行时，遵循主过从必过原则，从句时态为过去进行时，空处需填“were/was+现在分词”，主语为her cat，第三人称单数，be动词用was，hiding“藏”为动词hide的现在分词。故填was hiding。

五、句型转换（本题共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）
请根据要求改写下列句子，每空一词。
1. He didn’t do his homework yesterday evening. He watched TV. (合并为一句)
Yesterday evening he watched TV ________ ________ doing his homework.
【答案】 ①. instead ②. of

2. There have been great changes in the town over the years. （保持句意基本不变）
Great changes have ________ ________ in the town over the years.
【答案】 ①. taken ②. place

3. Tom’s already come back from Beijing （改为否定句）
Tom ________ come back from Beijing ________.
【答案】 ①. hasn’t ②. yet
【解析】句意：Tom已经从北京回来了。句中的Tom’s的完整形式为Tom has，此句的时态为现在完成时，句中的has为助动词，在含有助动词的句子中，变否定句时，在助动词后加not即可。already用在肯定句中，yet用在否定句和疑问句中。故填hasn’t；yet。
4. Simon went to school in a hurry. He didn’t have breakfast. （保持句意基本不变）
Simon ________ to school ________ having breakfast.
【答案】 ①. hurried ②. without
【解析】句意：西蒙匆匆忙忙地去了学校。他没有吃早饭。变为同义句，第一空应表达“西蒙匆忙去学校”，与in a hurry对应，在句中作谓语，应该用动词hurry，时态是一般过去时，因此第一空填其过去式hurried；第二空表示“没有”吃早饭，填介词without“没有”。故填hurried；without。

________ were you ________ at 9:00 yesterday evening

If everyone tries his best, I believe the environment will become much better.
【答案】例文
Global warming is now becoming a serious problem all over the world. Human activities are one of the main reasons for it. As a result, more and more natural disasters happen, such as floods, storms and forest fire. Moreover, it causes the sea level to rise. And plenty of animals are in danger. The number of all kinds of animals is smaller and smaller.
So we must take action right away to save the Earth. First of all, we should use more clean energy in our daily life. Second, we should try to walk to school, take a bus or take an underground instead of taking a car. Third, we should plant trees as many as possible.

Mark went to the neighborhood meeting after work. The neighborhood faced many problems, parking, crime and so on. It was too much for Mark. “The problems are too big,” He thought. He turned to the man next to him and said, “I think this is a waste of my time. Nothing I could do would make a difference here.”
Mark thought some more on his way to the bus stop. “People should just take care of themselves,” He decided. “That’s enough to do. I can’t take on all the problems of the world.
As nearing the bus stop, Mark saw a woman carrying a grocery bag (杂货袋) and a baby. She was trying to unlock the car, but she didn’t have a free hand. As Mark got closer, her other child, a little boy, suddenly rushed into the street. The woman tried to reach for him, but as she moved, her bag shifted and the groceries started to fall out. Mark ran to take the boy’s arm and led him back to his mother. Then he picked up the groceries while the woman smiledin relief.
“Thanks!” She said. “You’ve got great timing!” “Just being neighborly,” Mark said.

But now he knew he could do something for others. One can’t imagine being a great man and doing a great deed overnight. But a little thing can make a difference.

I have always been fascinated by the animal world. Recently, I read a novel about animals called A Lion’s Traveling. Chinese writer Shen Shixi wrote it.
The book tells the story of five male lions. They are driven out of their home and begin their adventure (冒险). Unluckily, one is hurt by a giraffe. Another is killed by a hunter. The third one dies during a fight for water with a rhino. The fourth lion drowns (淹死). Only the youngest one, named Red Ribbon, is still alive. After going through many difficulties, he finally becomes the lion king.
The story shows the love and care between friends, the life and death faced by brothers, the determination to deal with challenges, and the love for life. The fact that the young lion finally becomes the king teaches me a great lesson: Those who cannot defeat (打败) you will make you stronger. Everyone will face lots of difficulties during their lifetime. We should learn to stay strong and continue to find our better selves.
The book is filled with exciting details about the life of lions. Together with vivid pictures, it gives readers an immersive (沉浸的) experience. You can not only read the great story but also learn a lot about the animals in the real world. I highly recommend it!
1. What is A Lion’s Traveling mainly about
A. How to survive in the wild. B. How to be a lion king.
C. The adventures of five lions. D. The fights among lions.
2. How does the fourth lion die in the book
A. It dies in a fight for water. B. It is killed by a hunter.
C. It is killed by a giraffe. D. It drowns.
3. What has the writer learned from the book
A. What brings passion to life.
B. We should face up to difficulties and be better selves.
C. We should defeat people who challenge us.
D. How to make friends.
4. Why does the writer recommend this book
A. Because it has great pictures drawn by famous painters.
B. Because it tells people how to protect animals and the environment.
C. Because it teaches readers lots of scientific knowledge.
D. Because it offers a good reading experience with vivid pictures.

Facebook has developed（研发） the first machine learning model and it can translate（翻译）between any two of 100 languages without going into English first. Facebook says the new machine translation model was created to help its more than two billion（十亿） users worldwide. The company is still testing the translation model and hopes to add it to different products（产品） in the future.
Angela Fan, a researcher at Facebook, introduced the new machine translation model this week on one of the company’s websites. She said the model brings better results than other machine learning systems that depend on（依靠） English to help in translation. The other systems use English as a middle step —like a bridge — to translate between two non-English languages.
One example would be a translation from Chinese to French. Fan noted that many machine translation models begin by translating from Chinese to English first, and then from English to French. This is done “because English is most widely used,” she said. But such a way can lead to mistakes in translation.
Facebook says about two-thirds of its users communicate in a language that is not English. The company already does about 20 billion translations every day on its website. But it faces a huge test with many users speaking out large numbers of words in more than 160 languages.
The development team trained（培训） the new model on 7. 5 billion sentence pairs for 100 languages. In addition, the system was trained on a total of 2,200 language directions. Facebook said this is 10 times the number on the best machine translation models in the past.
1. According to the passage, how many translations does Facebook probably do on its website every week
A. 2 billion B. 7. 5 billion
C. 20 billion D. 140 billion
2. What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to（指代）
A. Developing machine learning models.
B. Translating Chinese into different languages.
C. Using English as a middle step.
D. Communicating on the Facebook.
3. According to the passage which of the following about the new model is NOT true
A. It does not depend on English in translation.
B. It makes fewer mistakes in translation.
C. It is now used by more than two billion people.
D. It was trained much more than the models in the past.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. Facebook’s first machine learning model.
B. How to translate languages without using English.
C. Different kinds of machine translation models.
D. The hard work Facebook does to develop the new model.
