On August 15,a team of researchers and conservationists set off on a two-year voyage
from Plymouth,England,on board the Dutch tall ship Oosterschelde.They will sail more than
46,000 miles(74,000 kilometers)and drop anchor in 32 different ports across four
continents,before ending their journey in Falmouth,U.K.
The expedition,named Darwin200,comes more than 190 years after Charles Darwin sailed the
globe collecting specimens and shaping ideas of his theory of evolution.The team will closely
follow Darwin's original voyage aboard the HMS Beagle,which set off on Dec.27,1831,and
returned to England on Oct.2,1836.
Darwin was 22 years old when he joined the expedition with the intention of seeing the world
before joining the church.But during the trip,Darwin became fascinated by the wide range of
different species he encountered,which eventually led to him creating his theory of evolution by
natural selection.Darwin's account of the journey,published after his return,also helped him
establish his reputation as one of Victorian Britain's academic
elite.
The main aim of the new expedition is to train and inspire 200 young
environmentalists,between 18 and 25 years old,who will each spend a week on board the
Oosterschelde studying threatened species that Darwin encountered on his voyage.
“We wanted to create a similarly transformative experience(for the young
naturalists),”Stewart MePherson, mission director of Darwin200,said in a statement. They
have“the potential to be the STEM(science,technology,engineering,and
mathematics)and conservation leaders of tomorrow,”he added.
Every week,the team will broadcast interactive“nature hour”sessions live from the ship
for people across the world.They will also collect important data on ocean plastics
and coral reef health,as well as survey seabirds,whales and dolphins.
4.What can we learn about Darwin200 from the first two paragraphs?
A.It takes along 200 naturalists. .B.It takes a shortcut for the journey.
C.It is to mark Darwin's Beagle voyage. D.It lasts longer than Darwin's voyage.
5.How did Darwin's voyage affect him?
A.It established his writing style. B.He gained a sense of adventure.
C.He earned great fame and fortune D.It changed the direction of his life.
6.What is Stewart McPherson's wish for the young naturalists?
A.To be more creative. B.To keep an open mind.
C.To develop scientific skills. D.To challenge Darwin's theory.
7.What does the team's research work focus on?
A.Ocean conservation. B.The exploration of ocean.
C.The art of navigation. D.Scientific education.

During my final year of college,I made two signs that read,“Feeling stressed about
exams?Have a free hug!”Then I found a friend and we stood in the campus,held up the
signs,and waited.Passersby either quickly looked down at their phones and awkwardly
walked by,or their faces lit up as they embraced us.Most people were enthusiastic.Some
exclaimed,“You made my day!”or“Thank you.I needed this.”
A study published earlier suggests that,in addition to making us feel connected with
others,all those hugs may have prevented us from getting sick.At first,this finding seems
incredible,because hugging hundreds of strangers would increase your exposure to germs and
therefore the likelihood of falling ill.But the new research adds to evidence for the positive
influence of social support on health.
The researchers conducted an interview to find out how often participants experienced
conflict with others and how often they received hugs.Then they infected the participants with
a common cold virus and,later the researchers found that,regardless of how much conflict
they endured,participants with a strong sense of social support developed less severe cold
symptoms.Likewise,the more often people hugged,the less likely they were to get sick,even
among individuals who frequently had tense interactions.In other words,both social support
and hugging prevented against illness.
But their impact is more than a runny nose.On the extreme end,social
connectedness seems to play a role in preventing against death.According to a research that
examined over 300,000 people around the world,low levels of social support can
increase the risk for premature death more than commonly known factors like smoking or
alcohol consumption.No surprise that the World Health Organization identifies social
networks as a primary determinant of health.
Evidently,just as we prioritize exercise and nutrition,we ought to prioritize quality
time with loved ones;just as we avoid unhealthy habits like smoking,we should make
effort to avoid isolation and social exclusion.And even if you don't want to hug hundreds of
strangers,don't underestimate the healing power of touch.
8.What is the function of Paragraph 1?
A.To introduce the topic. B.To amuse the readers.
C.To explain a viewpoint. D.To quote an instance.
9.What is a common misunderstanding of hugging strangers?
A.It helps to relieve social stress. B.It increases the risk of getting ill.
C.It prevents against social exclusion. D.It promotes the feeling of closeness.
10.What does the underlined phrase “a runny nose”refer to in paragraph 4?
A.Death. B.A virus. C.A hug. D.A cold.
11.What does the author suggest in the last paragraph?
A.Getting socialized. B.Doing more exercise.
C.Giving up smoking. D.Valuing your time.

Even if you haven't held a conversation with Siri or Alexa,you've likely encountered
a chatbot online.They often appear in a chat window that pops up with a friendly
greeting:Thank you for visiting our site.How can I help you today?Depending on the
site,the chatbot is programmed to respond accordingly and even ask follow-up questions.
Chatbots are a form of conversational AI designed to simplify human interaction with
computers.They are programmed to simulate human conversation and exhibit intelligent
behavior that is equivalent to that of a human.
Chatbots communicate through speech or text.Both rely on artificial intelligence
technologies like machine learning and natural language processing(NLP),which is a
branch of artificial intelligence that teaches machines to read,analyze and interpret human
language.This technology gives chatbots a baseline for understanding language structure and
meaning.NLP,in essence,allows the computer to understand what you are asking
and how to appropriately respond.
With developments in deep learning and reinforcement learning,chatbots can
interpret more complexities in language and improve the dynamic nature of conversation
between human and machine.Essentially,a chatbot tries to match what you've asked to
an intent that it understands.The more a chatbot communicates with you,the more it
understands and the more it learns to communicate like you and others with similar
questions.Your positive responses reinforce its answers,and then it uses those answers again.
From customer service chatbots online to personal assistants in our homes,chatbots have
started to enter our lives.In almost every industry,companies are using chatbots to help
customers easily navigate their websites,answer simple questions and direct people to the
relevant points of contact.Personal assistants like Siri and Alexa are designed to respond to a
wide range of scenarios and queries,from current weather and news updates to personal
calendars,music selections and random questions.
12.Why does the author mention Siri and Alexa in Paragraph 1?
A.To explain how a chatbot works. B.To show where to find a chatbot.
C.To give examples of chatbots. D.To compare different chatbots.
13.What is the basis of chatbots?
A.Language study. B.Data transmission.
C.Social interaction. D.Natural language processing. 14.What
does the underlined wordreinforcein paragraph 4 mean?
A.Inspire. B.Strengthen. C.Organize. D.Match.
15.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The future trend of chatbots. B.The author's predictions.
C.The effects of chatbots. D.The applications of chatbots.

It's been estimated that people touch their cell phones hundreds of times every day.
That means plenty of opportunities for germs to move from our fingers to our phones.
16 But a recent study found more than 17,000 bacterial gene copies on the phones of high
school students.
One of the worst places to use cell phones is in the bathroom. 17 Studies have found
that our mobile phones are much dirtier than toilet seats.Just as an expert puts it, taking a
phone into the bathroom and then leaving with it is kind of like going in,not washing your
hands and then coming back out.
While many of us wash our hands regularly after going to the bathroom,we seldom
consider washing our hands after touching our phones. 18
You can use alcohol-based wipes or sprays to clean your phone regularly.They need to
contain at least 70%alcohol to disinfect phone casings and touch screens. 19 Remember
to sanitize(消毒)your phone charger occasionally when you are cleaning your phone.And wash
your hands thoroughly after you've finished cleaning.
20 Get in the habit of putting your phone away when it's not in use,then
cleaning your hands.When not at home,keep your phone in your pocket or bag.Use a disposable
paper list of to-do items,rather than constantly consulting your phone.
Do not share your phone with others if you have not first sanitized it.If
children are allowed to play with your phone,sanitize it as soon as
possible afterward.
A.Do it every day if possible.
B.How you handle your phone will also be critical.
C.So it's clear that you keep away from your phone.9125
D.When toilets flush,they spread germs everywhere.
E.The more germs they collect,the more germs you touch.
F.Research has varied on how many germs are on an average phone.
G.Fortunately,there are easy ways to avoid your phone collecting
germs. 第二部分 语官运用(共两节；满分30分)

Several years ago,I worked as a writing teacher in a rural middle school.I knew all my
students.They trusted me with their stories and so I was given the privilege of having
a secret bond with each one of them.
I taught my students about the power of words,and tried to let them find expression through
writing.We learned to trust each other,because we learned how hard it was to write openly and
honestly,and we learned sharing your words took courage.I was always amazed at the words that
came from my students' hearts.
Later,we had a new student to the school,Al.Al was small and looked younger than
other students in my class.He was with us for only a short while and still trying to fit in.So I was
a little surprised when he volunteered to read.I smiled and nodded for him to do,while in my mind
I was afraid that the others would make fun of the new kid after he read.The room fell silent,and
Al began to read.
“If I had one wish,it would be to meet my dad...”He started out loud and clear.
He had held the attention of my usually restless students for what seemed like 15
minutes.He told of how he had never known his father,who had left the family when he was a
baby.He shared the intimate details of his struggles to be the only man in the house at such a
young age,of having to mow the lawn and fix broken pipes.He revealed to us the thoughts that
went through his mind constantly about where his father might be and why he might have left.
I looked around the classroom,finding no snickers(窃笑).
When Al finished the last sentence,all the class stood up and applauded.
