Ⅰ.阅读理解
Chances are that you’ve seen a movie or played a video game that contains a cyborg(半人
半机器的生物)．These half-man-half-machine beings have been a vision of many creative
writers.But it seems that some people can’t wait for the future to arrive.
At the Body Hacking Conference in 2017，held in Texas，US，hundreds of science fiction
fans from all over the world gathered to show off their body hacks.Rob Spence,45，had his right
eye removed after an accident.Soon after ， he decided to replace it with something moreinteresting.“The minute I learned that I was losing my eye，I began researching how I could turn
it into a camera，” he told Wired.
This is an extreme example，and body hacking doesn’t always take things so far.For
example，around the world，many people are choosing to get NFC chips implanted in their
hands.This is the same technology as used in smartphones，and it allows users to pay for things
or even unlock their cars just by using their fingertips.The chip is the same size as a grain of rice
and can be fixed and removed easily without much pain.
Hannes Sjoblad，founder of a Swedish body hacking group，believes that these implants
are just the natural next step for smart technology that is already in wide use ， such as
smartwatches.
“We are updating our bodies with technology on a large scale already with wearable
devices.But all of the wearable devices we wear today will be implantable in 5 to 10 years，” he
told Business Insider.
Sjoblad believes that such implants will become a regular part of our lives.Indeed，his group
was asked to put chips in the hands of employees at a company in Sweden，allowing them to do
things like opening doors，paying for lunch，and using the copy machine in the office.
“Who wants to carry a clumsy smartphone or smartwatch when people can have it in the
fingernail？” he said.
1．What can we infer from paragraph 2?
A．Rob Spence had his right eye replaced by a camera.
B．Rob Spence thought it lucky to lose his right eye.
C．Body Hacking Conference is just an attraction for the disabled.
D．Body Hacking Conference is intended for science fiction writers.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The minute I learned that I was losing my eye，I began
researching how I could turn it into a camera”可推断，罗布·斯宾塞用照相机代替了他的右眼。
故选A。
2．What is Hannes Sjoblad’s attitude towards body hacking?
A．Critical. B．Positive.
C．Negative. D．Indifferent.
答案 B
解析 观点态度题。根据第五段中的“We are updating...in 5 to 10 years”和第六段中的
“Sjoblad believes that such implants will become a regular part of our lives.”可知，Sjoblad对
人体植入技术持积极乐观的态度。故选B。
3．What does Hannes Sjoblad probably agree with?A．Body hacking is taking things too far.
B．There will be no wearables in 5 to 10 years.
C．Compared with smartphones，implants are more convenient.
D．Implants are totally necessary for everyone in their daily life.
答案 C
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段内容可知，Hannes Sjoblad可能认为与智能手机相比，植
入物更方便。故选C。
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Life Made Easier Through Technology
B．Implants Accepted Worldwide
C．New Choices Are on the Way
D．Body Hacking Brings a Bright Future
答案 D
解析 标题归纳题。根据全文内容尤其是倒数第二段中的“Sjoblad believes that such
implants will become a regular part of our lives.”和最后一段可知，本文主要介绍了人体植入
技术给人们的工作和生活带来的积极影响。所以短文的最佳标题为“人体植入技术有一个
美好的未来”。故选D。
Ⅱ.七选五
For people who are planning a trip，a visit to a museum might not be the first thing they
think of.After all，there are plenty of ways to appreciate the world’s civilization，gain exciting
experiences and spend quality time with family and friends. 1
Museums are where people learn something new，at every age! Are you interested in
something specific？ 2 There，you will find yourself drawn in and inspired! Museums are a
fantastic place to learn about a region’s history，scientific achievements，major cultural
events，and of course，dinosaurs.They also design exhibitions related to visual arts，industrial
innovations and anything that inspires an individual to learn about the past and create new paths to
the future.
3 They will surely be an exciting part of the educational experience with the main
purpose to expose children to knowledge of various fields and expand their horizons.To achieve
that，museums are working to create meaningful and engaging activities ，interactive and
knowledge-based.
Museums support tourism.They are tourism promoters in small towns and large
cities.Museums aren’t a burden on tax revenue (税收) or a separate concern from other city
projects. 4 Statistics show that museums support more than 726,000 jobs in America.
Museums shape communities.They have activities and exhibitions through which visitors can
learn about local history.Museums are places where a shared heritage is celebrated and a collectiveidentity is formed.They provide an interesting public space where people meet and talk to each
other. 5
A．Museums bring out the best qualities in children.
B．Museums often deliver kids-centered exhibitions.
C．Instead，they generate funding and fuel employment.
D．Then，visit a local museum to learn about that subject.
E．Even shopping at the gift shop there is an opportunity for connection.
F．On the contrary，they consume a small percentage of city funds annually.
G．The fact，however，is that museums offer magical benefits in many ways.
1．答案 G
解析 根据上文“For people who are planning a trip，a visit to a museum might not be the first
thing they think of.After all，there are plenty of ways to appreciate...”可知，此处提到人们在
计划旅行时有很多选择，博物馆可能不是人们的首选地址，G项“The fact，however，is
that museums offer magical benefits in many ways.”中的however表明，其实去博物馆有许多
益处，此处点明本文的主题且衔接下文。故选G项。
2．答案 D
解析 根据上文“Museums are where people learn something new，at every age! Are you
interested in something specific？”可知，可以去博物馆观看感兴趣的东西；D项“Then，
visit a local museum to learn about that subject.”中的 that subject 指代上文的 something
specific，衔接上下文。故选D项。
3．答案 B
解析 空处位于段首，为本段中心句。根据下文“They will surely be an exciting part of the
educational experience with the main purpose to expose children to knowledge of various fields
and expand their horizons.”可知，博物馆可以让孩子们受到教育，B项“博物馆经常举办以
儿童为中心的展览”能够概括本段内容。故选B项。
4．答案 C
解析 根据上文“Museums support tourism...Museums aren’t a burden on tax revenue(税
收)．..projects.”可知，本段涉及博物馆对城市旅游业的推动；C项“Instead，they generate
funding and fuel employment.”与上文为转折关系，并呼应下文“Statistics show that
museums support more than 726,000 jobs in America.”。故选C项。
5．答案 E
解析 根据上文“Museums shape communities.They have activities and exhibitions...”可知，
本段涉及博物馆塑造社区的功能，博物馆作为一个公共空间，人们可以相互交流；E项
“即使是在礼品店购物，也有机会建立联系”呼应本段主题。故选E项。Ⅲ.读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Trust
“Settle down！” Mr Taylor was trying to calm the boys with a loud voice.The moment
they entered the gym and saw the climbing walls towering over them，the boys got excited and
started making noises.But Stevie was an exception，who was standing aside looking at his thin
arms silently.Stevie didn’t like climbing.It wasn’t his thing.Getting along with people wasn’t
his thing，either.He just felt nobody liked or trusted him at school.
Then came the coach，who taught the boys some basic skills.He said everyone should have a
climbing partner and showed them how to belay(保护) their partner.“If you are a climber，trust
your belayer and challenge yourself.Belayers，please remember that your partner’s life depends
on you.”
The moment he finished，the boys couldn’t wait to match themselves with a partner except
Stevie，who was left alone wandering around the gym.Noticing his embarrassment，Mr Taylor
raised his voice and said，“I need someone I can really trust to team up with！” He looked
around.Then his gaze fell upon Stevie.“How about you，Stevie? Would you like to be my
belayer？” “Me？” Stevie widened his eyes，surprised to hear Mr Taylor even say his
name.He had thought he was invisible.“I guess，” Stevie managed a weak smile.
Nervous as he was，he plucked up courage.“It doesn’t matter who gets to the top
first.It’s about giving it a go.” Hearing Mr Taylor’s words，Stevie gritted(咬紧牙关) his
teeth and moved up slowly，his face pressed against the rough surface.“Done it！” Stevie
finally called from the top with excitement.Then Mr Taylor started to let him down through a
perfect control of the rope.“Well done，” said Mr Taylor when Stevie landed on the floor.
Now it’s Stevie’s turn to control the rope.Bearing in mind his responsibility，Stevie
carefully watched as Mr Taylor climbed up，pulling in the rope hand over hand.He felt his heart
racing wildly.Finally，Mr Taylor arrived at the top.“Ready to let me down now？” said Mr
Taylor.“Okay，” Stevie took a deep breath，his palms sweating uncontrollably.
注意：续写词数应为150个左右。
As Stevie loosened the grip，the rope slipped through his hand much faster than expected.
Suddenly，the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them.
参考范文
As Stevie loosened the grip ， the rope slipped through his hand much faster than
expected.Suddenly，Mr Taylor dropped like a stone.Stevie let out a little scream.The picture ofMr Taylor hitting the ground flashed over his mind.He quickly gripped the rope，bringing Mr
Taylor to a sudden stop.Regretful and cautious，Stevie looked up and saw Mr Taylor wearing a
smile and encouraging him with an inspiring gesture，which made him less nervous.Then he
restarted loosening the grip slowly.Finally，Mr Taylor dropped smoothly down to the bottom and
signaled to Stevie with a thumbs-up.“You made it！”
Suddenly，the boys burst into wild applause and yelled encouragement at them.When Mr
Taylor stepped forward and gave Stevie a big hug，a ripple of excitement and pride ran through
him.From that day on，Stevie opened his heart to the people around him.He made new friends at
school.He even fell in love with climbing where he was regarded as a trustworthy
teammate.Grateful to Mr Taylor，he knew deep down in his heart that it was his teacher’s trust
that allowed him to embrace his new self and others.
