Many of you are studying hard because you have to compete with many others in the upcoming national college entrance exam. But it may not occur to you that one of your competitors is a robot. An artificial intelligence(AI) robot will take part in the 2017 National College Entrance Exam, reported China Daily.
“The robot will sit three exams: math, Chinese, and a comprehensive test of liberal arts (文科), which includes history, politics and geography,” Lin Hui, CEO of an AI company in Chengdu. Like the others who take the exam, the robot will have to finish the tests in the given time. But instead of taking exams together with other students, the robot will take its exams in a closed room without anyone else present, except for proctors(监考人)and a notary(公证人). It is expected to be totally disconnected from the Internet and solve the problems with its AI program.
It’s believed that Chinese and the test of its liberal arts skills, rather than its math skills, will give the robot its biggest challenges. Questions in math are objective with specific answers, while in the other test subjects there are some subjective questions that test skills such as reading comprehension and essay writing.
The robot aims to be enrolled in one of the first-class Chinese universities in 2017, and then try to get into the more famous universities of Tsinghua or Peking University in 2020.

23. 推理判断题。根据第三段内容It’s believed that Chinese and the test of its liberal arts skills, rather than its math skills, will give the robot its biggest challenges.

We all have found memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. As we draw to the end of an academically and socially packed year, the idea of doing the same again is appealing.
But after graduation, there’ll be few occasions when we can enjoy such extended holidays, free to do as we wish. So now that summer has arrived, let’s take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling, especially if you avoid the pricey school holiday period.
Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while you’re eligible. Finding a reliable company that won’t cheat you is extremely important, as is discovering a program that appeals to your own interests. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s recommendations.
Of course for most of us, money is tight—but to avoid overspending you can combine employment and adventure. Hannah Warn, a psychology student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America, an increasingly popular venture where British students enjoy a good time on a summer camp.
“Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting.” she says.“It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”
Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair. The work may be challenging, but it’s a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.
If you have an idea about the sort of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.
25. The passage implies that .
A. students can enjoy beneficial price when traveling
B. students who quit school should pay more for travel
C. students will be offered part time jobs in the vacation
D. students will have a longer summer vacation than ever
26. The underlined word “eligible” in the passage means .
A. relaxed B. outstanding C. qualified D. standardized
27. The author took Hannah Warn as an example to .
A. suggest Camp America offers jobs to students
B. show psychology students are good at planning
C. indicate Camp America serves English students
D. imply students can travel around for nothing

It has become a certain belief among the public----drink at least eight glasses of water a day to improve health and wellbeing. Bottled water companies often repeal it to increase their sales but it is actually a silly idea. There is no evidence to prove the advantages of drinking eight glasses of water a day, scientists say.
The misunderstanding is caused from the suggestion that adults should drink 2.5 liters of water daily, which was stressed by the British Medical Journal in December. The important part of the suggestion that most of this quantity of water is contained in prepared foods, however, is usually ignored.
US researchers who reviewed the evidence concluded that most people do not need to worry about the amount of water they drink every .day. Besides drinking water, they will be getting plenty of liquid（液体）in other ways. Caffeinated drinks such as tea, coffee and cola and alcohol（酒）can help reach the daily total if they don't drink too much, though these drinks help the production of urine (尿). Less well known arc the dangers of drinking too much water, causing water poisoning, low salt levels and even death.
The review of research by Dan Negoianu, from the University of Pennsylvania, found that not a single study included the suggestion of drinking eight glasses of water a day. Although one small study suggested that drinking water could result in fewer headaches, the results were not very important. However, the benefits of drinking some water to prevent a pain in head after drinking too much alcohol are, separately, proved to be true.
No studies showed any advantages to the color1 of the skin because of the increased water taken into bodies. Dehydration（脱水）can make skin less pleasant, but there was no clear evidence to support the idea that water helps people keep a youthful appearance. The researchers also found no evidence that drinking lots of water does some good to the body's organs（器官）.
28. From the passage, we know that the suggestion about drinking eight glasses of water a day .
A. causes some serious diseases
B. has enough scientific evidence to support it
C. is misunderstood by people in fact

C. better skin can result from intake of much water
D. caffeinated drinks can provide the water people need
30. What can be proved about drinking a lot of water according to the passage?

This time last year I entered two long-distance mass-participation swimming events, including the Jubilee River 10 km swim. At the last minute, just before both swims, I decided to pull out. The reality is, I live in fear of coming last.
Last year, before the two events, I realized that I couldn’t deal with coming last. I had looked at the swim times of those who had completed the previous year and calculated that, at my current swim pace, I would probably have come last. I just couldn’t face it. But when next year came around, I decided to enter those same events again.
For a few months, I trained hard, but I didn’t get any faster. Then it was June 5, the day of the Jubilee River 10 km. The event started at 9:30 am, and the swimmers were anxious and eager to start. As I swam along, the river was quiet and clean and everything was peaceful. The sun shone, Meadows (草地）rolled by and every now and then someone would wave at the scene unfolding in the water.
As the day wore on, somehow I didn’t mind that, predictably, almost everyone was ahead. There were at least some swimmers still near me, and although we shared the same river we quietly occupied our own spaces. As I concentrated on doing my own thing, watching the sky, the bank, the other swimming caps passing or not passing, I realized I was enjoying myself.
In the end, four hours and 29 minutes after I’d started, I staggered (摇摇晃晃地走)out of the water and was greeted with a smile and a “well done” from the race organizer. I glanced back over my shoulder toward the water and noticed that there were a small handful of swimmers who were still to finish, behind me, out of a field of around 300 swimmers. But it didn’t matter. I was just relieved, proud and happy to finish.
As I drove away, my thoughts turned to my next long race of the season and how much I was looking forward to it, my fears of coming last gently receding(渐渐远去).
32. The author intended to quit swimming mainly because _______.
A. she feared that she couldn’t finish the two races
B. she was afraid that she would let family members down
C. she was unwilling to accept the possibility of finishing last
D. she didn’t fully prepared for the two races
33. The author hopes to convey the message that ______.
A. never give up when facing challenges
B. it is process that matters most
C. failure is the mother of success
D. winners always take it all
34. What did the underlined sentence mean in the fifth paragraph?
A. She took pride in leaving all the other swimmers behind
B. She was proud that she was not the last one in the race
C. She was glad to finish the race and had a sense of relief
D. She was proud to be praised by the organizer
35. It can be inferred from the end that the author is likely to _______.
A. participate in another race without any hesitation
B. analyze the reason why she failed in the race
C. lose confidence completely
D. decide whether she is suitable for the race

知识点：语法填空
61. named 62. with 63. closer 64. and 65. repeatedly
66. was put 67. Approaching 68. emergency 69. if/whether 70. was
文章讲述了司机Larry路上遇到车祸引发火灾，勇敢救火救人的故事。
61. was travel(l)ing
考查动词时态。根据句意和时间状语One morning in 2009可知发生在过去，动作当时正在进行，要用过去进行时。故填was travel(l)ing.
62. with
考查介词。此处表示伴随动作，指车灯亮着。用with+宾语+宾补短语，故填with.
63. closer
考查比较级。此处由even修饰比较级表示程度，指甚至更近了，故填closer.
64. and
考查连词。此处指他又细看了一下发现有火喷出，and表示动作顺承，故填and.
65. repeatedly
考查副词。此处修饰动词短语shooting out用副词，指火不断地喷出。故填repeatedly.
66. was put
考查被动语态。句中主语the fire和动词put out是被动关系用被动语态，指火被扑灭。故填was put.
67. Approaching
考查非谓语动词。approach的主语和句子的主语一致，在此作状语用动词-ing形式，故填Approaching.
68. emergency
考查名词。和and前的名词fire并列，也用名词形式。指火灾和突发事件救援人员，故填名词emergency.
69. if/whether
考查连词。此处指Larry问警察是需要他帮忙还是让他离开，表示选择，故填if/whether.
70. was
考查动词时态。此处是强调句，是对已发生的事的强调，故填was.

短文是班长李明写给交换生Chris的欢迎信，信中表达了欢迎和来后的一些注意事项并提出希望。
小题1exchange前加an
考查冠词。此处修饰可数名词exchange student，指一个交换生，故exchange前加an.
小题2of 改为for
考查固定搭配。此处表示对于某人来说是荣幸的，for表示“对于”，故of 改为for.
小题3第三行的about 删除
考查动词。tell是及物动词后直接加双宾语，不需要加介词。故第三行的about 删除。
小题4prepared 改为prepare
考查动词形式。情态动词should后加动词原形，故prepared 改为prepare.
小题5kind 改为kinds
考查名词。表示不同种类的用different kinds of ，kind用复数。故kind 改为kinds.
小题6experiencing 改为experience
考查不定式。此处是不定式做定语修饰chance，不定式中动词用原形，故experiencing 改为experience
小题7that改为which
考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句指代前面句子，不用that用which引导。故that改为which.
小题8good改为well
考查副词。短语get along well with中修饰动词get用副词well，不用形容词。故good改为well.
小题9and 改为but
考查连词。句意：我们可以尽我们所能帮助你，但你必须做好迎接困难的准备。前后句表示转折，故and 改为but.
小题10learn改为learning
考查动词形式。和and前的understanding保持一致也用动词 –ing形式，表示通过理解和学习，故learn改为learning.
【名师点睛】
短文改错答题技巧：
一、查时态是否一致及动词用法
时态错误几乎是每年短文改错中必设的改错题。要有目的地去检查文中的每一个谓语动词的时态与上下文、语境以及该句的时间状语是否相符和一致。小题3考查动词。tell是及物动词后直接加双宾语，不需要加介词。故第三行的about 删除。小题4
考查动词形式。情态动词should后加动词原形，故prepared 改为prepare. 小题6考查不定式。此处是不定式做定语修饰chance，不定式中动词用原形，故experiencing 改为experience
二、查主谓是否一致
在检查谓语动词的时态和语态是否正确的同时，还要注意检查该动词在人称和数上是否与主语保持了一致。
主谓语一致的情况较为复杂，考生平时学习要留心归纳。有些特殊句式的主谓一致问题很容易被忽视，如倒装句、关系代词在定语从句中做主语的情况等，答题时要高度重视。
三、查指代是否一致
对于短文中出现的每一个代词都要查一下它所指代的内容以及在句中的作用，注意其数、格、词性是否正确和前后一致，包括人称代词、指示代词、反身代词、关系代词以及疑问代词等。指代错误也是高考改错题中常设的改错题。小题7考查定语从句。此处是非限制性定语从句指代前面句子，不用that用which引导。故that改为which.
四、查平行结构是否平行一致
由and，or，but，either…or…，neither…nor…，not only …but also…，as well as等并列连词和词 组连接的结构可称为平行结构。平行结构在词性、时态、非谓语动词的形式上往往要求前后一致。答题时要留心平行结构前后是否对等平行，这也是常设的错误。小题10考查动词形式。和and前的understanding保持一致也用动词 –ing形式，表示通过理解和学习，故learn改为learning.
五、查名词的单复数与修饰词语或上下文是否一致
名词数的错误也是高考常设的改错题。要查一下名词是否可数，与其修饰语是否一致。第小题1考查冠词。此处修饰可数名词exchange student，指一个交换生，故exchange前加an.小题5考查名词。表示不同种类的用different kinds of ，kind用复数。故kind 改为kinds.
六、查行文逻辑是否一致
查这方面的错误应从文章整体内容出发，通篇考虑，以行为单位是难以发现这种错误的。逻辑不一致主要是由肯定与否定、关联词语以及动词（如come与go，take与bring）的误用所造成的，应多从这方面去查找。小题9考查连词。句意：我们可以尽我们所能帮助你，但你必须做好迎接困难的准备。前后句表示转折，故and 改为but.
总之，短文改错要注意联系上下文和时态的变化，做题时应以句子为单位，同时兼顾改错的原则。这个原则就是不能改变原意，不能轻易去掉动词、名词等实词，去掉的通常是固定搭配结构中多余的部分。同样，增加的词也是固定搭配中缺少的部分或者是定语从句中的先行词或介词。
