His net worth has climbed $8.5bn this year to $41.8bn.The latest surge came after Chinas largest ecommerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March, demonstrating how investments in online shopping are paying off. Shares in Alibaba, where Mr Ma is chairman, rose 13 per cent to a record high.Alibaba and Tencent, which dominate online shopping and social media respectively, have ventured (冒險(xiǎn)) deeper into new areas from cloud computing services to streaming music and video as the countrys economy slows. Alibaba is capturing more digital advertising spending by incorporating (吸收) social elements such as video in its shopping sites.Alibaba is holding meetings with investors this week. On Friday, the former English teacher said he wasnt going to discuss corporate forecasts. He took the stage instead to describe how his company had become effectively the worlds 22nd largest economy just after Argentina in terms of transactions (交易) by never fearing to think big. Mr Ma, who said Alibaba revised 10year plans annually, foresaw the company becoming the fifthlargest eventually by 2036 by serving burgeoning (迅速發(fā)展) Chinese middle classes, taking advantage of global trade and making use of its valuable data.Mas comments about the evolution of datadriven technology echoed those of Masayoshi Son, chairman of Japans SoftBank. SoftBank Alibabas largest shareholder has invested billions in companies such as ARM with the intention of staking out a leading position in the future Internet of Things.“The Internet of Things is going to be big because in the past, machines drank electricity，” Mr Ma told investors. “In the next 20 years, machines will drink data. In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”語篇解讀：本文介紹了阿里巴巴集團(tuán)股票股價上漲13%，使董事長馬云凈身家在一天之內(nèi)增加28億美元，成為亞洲首富的故事。5The text is intended to tell us that _.AChinas economy is not satisfyingBJack Ma has become Asias richest manConline shopping grows rapidly worldwideDAlibaba is the largest company in the world解析：選B主旨大意題。通覽全文可知，本文介紹了阿里巴巴集團(tuán)股票股價上漲13%，使董事長馬云凈身家在一天之內(nèi)增加28億美元，成為亞洲首富的故事。故選B項(xiàng)。6The underlined word “surge” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Asudden increase Brapid declineCdead time Duncertainty解析：選A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Jack Mas net worth increased by $2.8bn overnight”和畫線詞下文的“Chinas largest ecommerce company forecast 45 to 49 per cent revenue (收入) growth in the year ending March”可以推測畫線詞意為“急劇上升”。7What do we know about Alibaba?AIt is Chinas largest social media company.BIt makes profits mainly from digital advertising.CIt is providing cloud computing services.DIt is new to streaming music and video.解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的第一句可知，由于國家經(jīng)濟(jì)下滑，阿里巴巴已進(jìn)軍云計(jì)算服務(wù)領(lǐng)域。8What does Jack Ma stress in the last paragraph?AThe investment of global trade.BThe importance of data.CThe necessity of sharing information.DThe future of the Internet of Things.解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段的最后一句“In the future, no company, no country, no business can survive without data.”可知，在將來，任何公司的發(fā)展和存在都離不開數(shù)據(jù)，因此他強(qiáng)調(diào)了“data”的重要性。CThe concept of intelligent robots, as friends or enemies, dates back to ancient times. Reports of people admiring human likenesses and building humanlike robots date back to the days of ancient Greece and Egypt. AI has also featured prominently in pop culture, for example: the computer HAL 9000 in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey and Arnold Schwarzeneggers robot character in The Terminator films.Since the field of AI was officially founded in the mid1950s, people have been predicting the rise of conscious machines. Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil refers to a point in time known as “the_singularity”， when machine intelligence beats human intelligence. Based on the exponential (指數(shù)的) growth of technology according to Moores Law (which states that computing processing power doubles approximately every two years), Kurzweil has predicted the singularity will occur by 2045.Nevertheless, a number of prominent science and technology experts have expressed worry that human beings are not doing enough to prepare for the rise of artificial general intelligence, if and when it does occur. Earlier this week, Hawking issued a serious warning about the threat of AI. “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race，” Hawking told the BBC, in response to a question about his new voice recognition system, which uses artificial intelligence to predict intended words. And Hawking isnt alone. Elon Musk told an audience at MIT that AI is humanitys “biggest existential threat”. He also once posted, “We need to be super careful with AI. Potentially more dangerous than nuclear weapons.”In March, Musk told CNBC that hed like to “keep an eye on whats going on with artificial intelligence，” adding, “I think theres potentially a dangerous outcome there.” But despite the fears of noticeable technology leaders, the rise of conscious machines known as “strong AI” or “general artificial intelligence” is likely a long way off, many researchers argue. “I dont see any reason to think that as machines become more intelligent . which is not going to happen tomorrow they would want to destroy us or do harm，” said Charlie Ortiz, head of AI at the Burlington. “Lots of work needs to be done before computers are anywhere near that level，” he said.語篇解讀：人工智能對人類來說是好還是壞？不同的專家提出不同的觀點(diǎn)：人工智能可能意味著人類的終結(jié)；人工智能未必會毀滅或傷害人類。9The underlined part “the singularity” in the second paragraph refers to _.Aa point in the historyBthe machine intelligence will go beyond human intelligenceCcomputing processing power doubles every two yearsDthe power of technology will double by 2045解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段第二句“Inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil refers to a point in time known as the singularity，when machine intelligence beats human intelligence.”可知，singularity指的是時間(物理學(xué)意義上)的一個點(diǎn)，在這個點(diǎn)上，機(jī)器智能會擊敗人類智能。故選B項(xiàng)。10Experts like Hawking worry that _.Aartificial intelligence is approaching in the near futureBartificial intelligence is bound to arise in the near futureChuman beings are not prepared for the coming of AIDhuman beings are the biggest existential threat to AI解析：選C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一句“Nevertheless, a number of prominent science and technology experts have expressed worry that human beings are not doing enough to prepare for the rise of artificial general intelli gence, if and when it does occur.”可知，許多享有聲望的專家，包括霍金，表達(dá)了他們的擔(dān)憂：人類并未準(zhǔn)備好應(yīng)對人工智能的崛起。因此選C項(xiàng)。11What is the Charlie Ortizs attitude toward AIs threat?ACritical. BTolerant.CDoubtful. DApproving.解析：選C推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段查利說的話“I dont see any reason to think that as machines become more intelligent . they would want to destroy us or do harm”可知，查利的觀點(diǎn)是：沒有理由認(rèn)為，當(dāng)機(jī)器變得更加智能時，它們就會毀滅或傷害人類。因此，查利對人工智能會對人類造成潛在威脅是持懷疑態(tài)度的。故選C項(xiàng)。12What is the best title of the passage?AAI, Friend or Competitor?BAI, Friendly or Frightening?CAI VS. Human Beings!DAI, Frightening or Worrying?解析：選B標(biāo)題歸納題。通過文中不同專家對于人工智能的態(tài)度可知，有些人擔(dān)憂人工智能會對人類造成潛在的威脅，而有些人卻比較樂觀。因此，B項(xiàng)作為文章標(biāo)題最佳。 DMoutai Thanks the Hit MovieWolf Warrior for Free AdvertisingChinese box office hit Wolf Warrior has received a thankyou letter from the president of China Kweichow Moutai (Group) Distillery Co., Ltd, the countrys most famous brand of liquor, because of the scenes where the hero drank Moutai liquor in the movie.The movie, which premiered (首映) on July 27,2017, tells the story of a former Chinese Peoples Liberation Army soldier protecting Chinese citizens and local factory workers in an African war zone.The patriotic (愛國的) emotions have proven popular with audiences. By the end of September, Wolf Warrior had earned more than 5.6 billion yuan, breaking Chinas alltime box office record, set last year by Hong Kong comedy The Mermaid. Wu Jing, 43, both starred in and directed Wolf Warrior ， whose prequel (前傳) earned 525 million yuan in 2015.On August 7, Yuan Renguo, president of Kweichow Moutai, congratulated Wu Jing on his success in an open letter on the companys website. “The movie has hit a new record and become a phenomenon，” Yuan wrote. “The movie is now synonymous (相同的) with patriotism. Your free advertising of Moutai in the movie has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world.”Yuan also added that the company had organized screenings of the film for its more than 30,000 employees, which improved their feelings of nationalism and “company cohesion (凝聚力)”Many moviegoers also said they were impressed by the patriotic plot of Wolf Warrior . Tong Yemeng, a 32yearold office worker from Beijing, told Sixth Tone that she watched the film because of positive reviews from her colleagues and on the social media. “I felt so moved and proud of my country when I saw Wu Jing waving the national flag in the war zone，” she said. “It showed our increasing national power.”語篇解讀：本文是對2017年熱門電影戰(zhàn)狼的介紹，該影片主題突出，表現(xiàn)的是一種愛國情懷和為國家、為民族不惜犧牲一切的精神，充分展現(xiàn)了當(dāng)代中國軍人的責(zé)任和擔(dān)當(dāng)，充滿正能量。13What did the hero of Wolf Warrior once do?AHe was a worker.BHe was a soldier.CHe was a coach. DHe was a president.解析：選B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“The movie . tells the story of a former Chinese Peoples Liberation Army soldier protecting . zone.”可知，戰(zhàn)狼中的英雄曾經(jīng)是一名軍人。故選擇B項(xiàng)。14Why is Wolf Warrior so popular?ABecause the movie is concerned with the love of our country.BBecause Wu Jing played a key role and directed the film.CBecause it is the first film concerning an African war zone.DBecause the plot gives audiences a deep impression.解析：選A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段中的“The patriotic(愛國的) emotions have proven popular with audiences.”可知，這部影片很受歡迎的原因與愛國有關(guān)。故選A項(xiàng)。15Which word can best describe Yuan Renguos attitude towards the movie when he wrote the letter?AFavorable. BAstonished.CRelieved. DUncaring.解析：選A推理判斷題。根據(jù)第四段中的“The movie has hit a new record and become a phenomenon”與“. has once more allowed this famous Chinese brand to impress the world”和第五段，再結(jié)合文章標(biāo)題可知，他寫信時是非常贊許這部電影的。故選A項(xiàng)。.閱讀七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Eyes Can SpeakMuch meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak._16_ In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. _17_ Eyes do speak, right?Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. _18_ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listeners eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. _19_ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. _20_ Actually, eye contact should be made based on specific relationships and situations.AOn the contrary, it will give him away.BDo you have such kind of experience?CThats what normal eye contact is all about.DActually, continuous eye contact is limited to lovers only.EAfter all, nobody likes to be stared at for quite a long time.FBut things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.GIf nothing goes wrong, you will feel annoyed at being stared at that way.語篇解讀：本文具體介紹了在不同的情況下，不同關(guān)系的人之間要做不同的眼神交流。因?yàn)槲覀兊难劬梢郧宄貍鬟_(dá)出我們的想法，所以說眼睛會說話。16解析：選B該空后面兩句話是說在公共汽車上盯著陌生人看的情況。B項(xiàng)意為 “你有過這樣的經(jīng)歷嗎？”，設(shè)空處提出問題，緊接著給出回答，上下文語義連貫。故選B項(xiàng)。17解析：選G根據(jù)上一句中的“to see if there is anything wrong with you (去看看是不是自己哪里有問題)”可知，G項(xiàng)“如果沒有什么問題，別人用那樣的方式盯著你會讓你感到惱怒?！狈险Z境。故選G項(xiàng)。18解析：選F根據(jù)設(shè)空處后的“If a man stares at a woman . are obvious.”可知，F(xiàn)項(xiàng)“但是如果盯著異性，那就要另當(dāng)別論了。”起到了承上啟下的作用，故選F項(xiàng)。19解析：選C該空上一句主要講在兩個人交談的時候，要不時地進(jìn)行眼神交流以確保對方在注意聽你說話。C項(xiàng)意為“那就是正常的眼神交流?！保渲蠺hat 指代的就是上一句所說內(nèi)容，語意連貫。故選C項(xiàng)。20解析：選A空前講的是一個說謊的人錯誤地認(rèn)為一直看著對方能夠表現(xiàn)出自己的誠實(shí)。A項(xiàng)“那樣反而出賣了他?！狈险Z境。故選A項(xiàng)。.完形填空(共20小題；每小題1.5分，滿分30分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C和D四個選項(xiàng)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。Chris Marlow, a minister and father of two, would say that his life prior to 2009 was good but ordinary.
